The Oporto Packct rnts arrived at Liverpool from Varai- ba, havinig sailed on thee29th of May. She brings advices from Pernambuco uy to the 26th of May: the port remain- ed blockaded at that period. A Brazilian ship of war had arrived on the 20:h, having sailed from Rio de Ja- neiro ont the 12fh. It appears that the new Governor ap- pointed by the EPI rROR for Pernambuco had been threat- enedl by the inhabitants with insult, and he in consequence durst not act. CARVALLO, the r.iening Governor, had in- titnated his desire to vacate his office provided the people requested it; but this was considered finesse. The captain of a Liverpool vessel landled at Pernambuco on the night of the 45th of May, and he states that Captain TAYLoR, the C(ommander of the blockading squadron, bad iinformcd the various vessels lying off Pernamnbuco, that they had better remnain there for a few dfys, as he was of opinion the blockatle woald soon be broken up. From this it was in- ferred that there was an understanding between CAHVAL- i.o and the Coramander. An armament whicrh had bcen fitting out at IRio had been countermanded.

Ive solicit public attentioni, and particularly that of men conversanit with matters of finianice, to the letter in this lay's jousnal sigued "DAN I ET. HA RDCASTS.E." They will probably tlherein see the cause of the increasing price of| corn, and all the othier necessaries of life; that is to say, they will see a returin to the evils of war during the season of peace, by the extravagaiit issue of paper-money from the Bank, upon mortgage and stock. The paper-money issued is immediately thrown into circulation; thougli the secu- rities, paruicularly the former, would not be so promptly convertible, should a runi upoin the Balik take place. But this is only one? of the topics enforced in the letter: the whole deserves attention.

A petition to Parliament,...
The Times, 1824-05-31T00:00:00

A petition to rarliamat, of a highly interesting charac- ter, is about to be presented from a large and respectable portion of the inhabitants of Drogheda, in Ireland. The prayer of the petition is for a iedress of wrongs inflicted by the Corporation of Drogheda on the people of the town and immediate neighourhood. It appears from the petition, that tracts of land, under the title of commons, were grant- ed by charter of Henry IV., for the " use, benefit, and re- " creation of the inhabitants," and were so enjoyed by thern until some (undefined) period of the last century, since which they have been let at low rents to members tr re- tainers of the Corporation-that tlle Corporation estates, worth 15,0001. per annum, have been let at a rent not ex- ceeding 2,5001. per annum, for the benefit, as is implied, of the Corporation itself-that the estates taken away by Henry VIII. from the Church, and bestowed upon the Corporation for charitable and other public uses, have been diverted to private emolument-and that with an increase of pauperism, dependont almost excltsively on individual benevolence for relief, there is a rapidly diminishing power in the inhabitants of Drogheda to provide for it. NVe con, elude by expressing our strong assurance, that if the pro- ceedings of Irish Corporations were strictly investigated, from north to south of the island. funds might be disco- vered of great extent and eficacy, towards the removal of a large mass of human wretchedtiess,

According to tile most recent commercial news from the Ionian Islands. the Egyptian squadron urnder the conmand of Ismael Gibraltar has re-appeared in the Archipelago, and has attacked ,onie (ireek vessels, one of which only has been taken. This event, which is given as certain, proves hiow unfounded is the report that thle Pacha of Egvpt has declared against the Porte. What also re- fuites the report is, thiat the Pacha has sent new reinforcements to the isle of Candia. Considerable bodies of troops have begun to msarch in Macedonia, who are to movc on Thessaly by Betogha, under tthe Pacha of Wid- din. They are stated (probably exaggerated) xt 10,000 men. We receive fromt another quarter the interesting news that the troops as- setibletd near Adrianuple are under new orders to march, not to Thessaly, but on the 13at*lbe, which agaXn 'ploves the jealousy of the Porte towards Russia. It is asserted that the negotiations of the Greeks and the Alba- nians are again broken off: FRANKFORT, APRat. 8. Thie last accounts troin the Adiriatic state that Lord Stanhope a superior officer in the service of the Greelks, who is directing t'he operations before Lepanto, has made his attacks with so mnuclt activity, that the Turks have been driven from all the out-works of tli prinlcipal fort, and that the Greeks have established themselves in thiem. A sortie of the Turkish garrison has been repulsed with great loss to the besieged. It is also said that several Barbary ships of war have been captured oW Lepanto by a divislot of the Greek flotilla. FREATCI PAPERS. PAPTA A iA4

The f;Imes spread rapily in Various directionis, especially towards-lie p1owder-rnagazine. ANt half-past three some chests of powder blew up; at five there was a icrrible explosion, which laid all thesurroundiug buildings in ruins:, and just rs it traek ten at night, a tiird explosion spread the desolation farther, On the foloev. ing morning the fire seemed to abate, when consternation was upregd on its being known that the great magazine; contnining 24,000cantars of powvder, was in danger, and the entire destructioln of Cairo was appreh ended. The undaaunted efforts of the troops, however, suC- c-eded in checking and at length subduing, the flames. At the very beginning of the conflagration, tsie people fled in coutntless mul. titudes out of the city; one bad coneequ6nee of which' was, that it baffilel all the meastres of precaution whicb had been adopt- ed. From the Romelv-zate eastward, to tOe old citd4el, nothing is to be seen but relinants of walls, shattered beanis, waggonse and gun-carriages, Ont of the new gate the'ruins begin, at the distance of ro paces s and over a vast space thereare seen, among the ruins, 4,000 burnt or lacerated horses, mules, and camels.- 'XA fine park of artillerv, whicih stood in wwhat is called Joseph's'hall and in the atuphitheatre at tile west end of the city, is- destroyed,except 26 pieces. The whole arsenil; too, is annihilated, except a magazine for tools, somne chests of muskets. and the machine for boring Pau. non. Of the little park of field artillery wlieb stood on the Homety- square, only 15 six-pounders are saved. The new citadel, in which are the Ilint, the Hall for the Divan, and the several government offices, suffered but little. The two powder.tnagazines, and two towers surrounded wiFh ditches,.were tintouched. It iS calculated that 60 millions of Turkish piasters will not suffice to replace the ci. tadel and the arsenal in their former state.
