j TRIAL FOR MURDER. .
On Tuesday last the Trial ofJaines Parker,

I
-.3
Abm. Potts, a‘nd_Noah Doremus for the Mi‘ir-,
'der ofjbabid R. Lainbei-I, Esq. was commenc-
'ed before the Court of Oyer and Terminer in
the city of New Y,_o_i-lr, and co‘ntint‘i‘ed until
‘Thursday night. Mr. _M_att'vv’e|l, District At-
torney, opened the prose‘ctitio'n,,atid aft‘erIs'ta-
ting the circumstances of the ‘case, aiid the
nature of the evidence that wotild_bé ‘produc-
'r.-d against the prlsoiiers, remarked t iat he was
botind to say in his proper place, that the
law which governs us all, that law wlilch had
been adopted by our legislature‘, that low by
which every man must be protect’e'd—’—and he
said with feelings of deep sympathy for the
prisoners-—they must be foiiiid guilty of inur-
der, provided the jury found that for the pur.
pose of riot and distiirbaiice they had assault-
ed the deceased, a‘ii_d that he consequently di‘.
"ed. [He here quoted the law in support of
this positl‘o’i‘i'from a ntimber ofesttiblislied au-
tlI_<'>r>l'll6§-]. __H’e made seine further 'obsei"va-
tions, expounded tlie law ofpriiicipal and ac-.
cessory, by \vlii'ch it appeared that no matter
who struclt the death blow, they were all re-
sponsible for it, iftogether, and abetting and
aiding each other, and finished his opening,
byxremarking that it was not his wish to make
a lodgeiiient in the minds of the jury or to go
into the l.éSlltXi0lly,.lt§St he should, possibly, be
iiiistaketi, but that he desii'etl the prisoners
might be tried fairly and without prejtitlicc. I
_ The witnesses were then called; add all
that day and part of next was spent in ‘exam-
iiiitig them. No new facts, libtvever, came
out respecting the Murder. It fully appeared
that Mr. Lambert. and his company were at-
tacked by these boys while walking peaceably
through the streets‘, but there was no positive
evidence that the blows inflicted upon Mr. L.
i-/e‘r_e the cause of his death, although all the
physicians agreed in the opinion that they
’were_t.he probable cause. It appeared from
the evidence, and from the confession ofthe
prisoners before the Justices Court, that they,
together with Thomas Rae, on the night of
the ,'inurder,having the “steam pretty well up,”
walked up Broadway in two parties: the fore-
most party heard a scuffle between the party
b_eliin_d and some other persons, and returned
and ._)oined it: many blows were struck on
both s_ides”‘, after which they separated, and
t_he prisoners, after going to an oyster house
and getting some oysters returned home. The
next morning several oftliem were heard to
say they had given the Dandies a fine dres-
sing the night previous, and one of the gang
said to some persons in a store “ ifyou want
to see a sight, go to Vauxball Garden, and
you’ll see some torn hats, and perhaps some
dea_d bodies.” Thomas Rae, who was one of
the party, testified that they had assembled on
~ the night ofthe murder to go and see an ac-
quaintance who had lately been married, but
finding the house shut went to I{ider’s, where
they drank freely, each taking seven glasses
of liquor, viz’. three glasses of brandy, two of
gin, and two of beer. Witness becauie intox-
icated, but could not say that the rest were.
They then left Ridei"s and walked down
Broadway in two parties. His party were 30
or 40 rods ahead of the other, and he went
back a little to hurry the others when he found
‘hem. engaged ina quarrel. Soon after he
ran down Sandy Lane, where he found Wal-
ker, who told him “ he had one inau by the
collar aiitl gave it to hiiu in the breast.” After
the evidence on the part of the prosecution
closed, Mr. Price opened the case on behalf
ofthe prisoners. After an eloquent address
witnesses were called to prove their character.
The father of IValker testified that his son
had always been an honest, trustworthy, indus-
trious and well-behaved boy. His mother tes-
tified that he was at home the evening prece-
ding the atfray, and was always a dutiful and
obedient son. Five other respectable witnes-
tcs testified to the good morals, behaviour,
I}l'IlllfUlll8SS, amiableness and regularity of
‘Nalker. The mother of Buckland, and five
other persons testified that he, (Biickland)
was a “ good, peaceable, humane, sober, and
civil boy,” and always had been. The same
was said of Potts, by his master, mistress and
others. On the night of the fray he had work-
ed till half past 10 o’clock. OfWadc it was
said that he had been one of the supports of
his father’s family for many years. He was a
- clerk in a store, and hislemployer said he had
always had reason to place the greatest trust
and confidence in him. Parker was declared
byginany wjtiiesses to be a very good and ami-
able young maria‘ he had always assisted to
support his mother and fatnily. Holly was also
said to be a‘ very well behaved young man.
After the evid'er‘i'ce closed Mr. Scott addres-
tied the jury, and urged the injustice of con-
demning to death 7young men, who, if they
had committed acriine at all, had only been
guilty ofriot and intoxication, and who had
always before enjoyed a good character, and
behaved themselves with propriety. He went
onto say that in the entire absence of consist-
ent and connected testimony, or indeed any
testimony at all as to the striking ofa death
blow, they should hestitate to consign the
prisoners at the bar to the walls of the State
Prison, and adducctl several pertinent au-
thorities to support his argument. He con-
cluded‘ at 9 o’clock, P. M. when the Court ad-
journed’. The next day was spent in hearing
the speeches of Messrs. Anthon, Emmett,
'Wilkins and Price in belialfof the prisoners,
and Mr. Maxwell, District Attorney, for the
prosecution. At half past nine Judge ED-
. WARDS submitted the case to the jury in a
very able charge ofmore than an hour’s length,
and at 2 o'clock on Friday morning the jury
brought in a verdict of MANSLAUGHTER
against the whole seven.—-Th-e punishment
for manslaughter fixed by law,isi'inp'r'Fsoniiient
in the state prison for a period not less than
fhree, nor exceeding fourteen years.
* In evidence of this we give the following
extract from the cross-examination of Duh-

Tits: C‘iu~:i~:’?irs.—-The Cliiefs of the Creek
Nation of Itidians have had a meeting since
the murder of M’Intosh, at which they signed
the following declaration, taking upon them-
selves and their laws the eiitire responsibility
of the death of the general, and altogether
exon'e'ra_’ting the ivhites from any concern in
the traiiisactioti. The declaration is signed
by 47 chiefs arid liead men.
“ We determined of our own free will and
accord, to pot to death the Chief Mcliitosli,
and neither the Agent, John Crowell, or
any other white man were the iiistigators or
abettors, nor do we know or believe that he,
the Agent, knew that we had any such design;
nor did we communicate it to any but a few
old and head men. We determined to put
him to death for a violation of a law,first pro-
posed by him, and sanctioned by the Big
Warrior and Little Prince; and then the dif-
feretit towns were called up, and_the lawyers
who had been previously made (by M’Intosli,
Big Warrior, and Little Piince,) were direct-
ed to put into execution this law against any
Chief or other person who broke it,’ however
great he might be, even Big Warrior, Little
Prince, or M’lntosli.”
Letters have been published in the Georgia
papers frotn persons residing in the vicinity
ofthe Indian settlements which state that the
Indians exhibit every indication of an inten-
tion to attack the whites on the frontier. A
part ofthese indications are the frequent as-
sembliiig of the Indians in parties, the pur-
chasing offire artns, and a‘mmunition‘ at high
prices, &.c. Some ofthe whites have become
so alarined that they have left their homes,
and their business, and 16 families have col-
lected together in one house, refusing to leave
until the Governor sends troops to protect
them. Ifthe truth ofthis story were to come
out we have our suspicions that it would be
found to be btit a mere pretext for measures
ofhostility against the Indians, 8:. to enrage the
minds of the whites against tlieui still more.
On the subject of Indian dfflictttlies, DAVID
BROWN, the christian and educated Cherokee,
thus writes to the editor ofthe Family Visitor.
The letter is dated Creek Path, Cherokee JV'a«-
tion, flprit 27th. , .
“ Last September I left the Arkansas on a
visit to this my mother country, about which
tiine,soiiie ofiny Arkansas friends were thiiik-
ing of returning here, in consequence ofthe
unhappy state ofNational affairs in the Ar-
kansas. Recently, it appears, that affairs
have turned into a favorable position : which
will probably put my friends out ofthe notion
of returning. In case that they do not come,
I will then speedily return to the Arkansas.
The separation ofthe Cherokee people into
two divisions ata distance of 500 miles, has
caused no inconsiderabletrouble and expense;
and I am sorry to say that there is no pros-
pect ofthe two divisions ever uniting again.
Those on the Arkansas will never return, and
as to trying to persuade those in this country
to go there, you may as well attempt to send
them to Greenland or to Africa. Those on
this side acknowledge the Arkansas country
to have more game than this, and that the soil
there is superior to this. But game is not
their object. Many years have now past since
they buried the bow and arrow’ with the toni-
ahawk of war. Instead of acquiring subsist-
ence by the precarious chase of the wild
woods, they now pursue a different course ;—
the weaver’s shuttle is playing, the plough
and hoe are used, the thick forest is cut down
and large farms are made. But independent
ofthis, the Cherokees alike with all nations,
love their birthright possessions where the
ashes of their ancestors are deposited and
where delightfully glide the sweet Cherokee
waters. And why insist on their emigrating?
Shall they leave their extensive farms, cot-
ton giii houses, grist and saw mills, English
schools to the number of fifteen, located in
different parts of the Nation, and 500 Chero-
kee children of both sexes, that are receiving
useful knowledge, and the growing christian
churches in the nation P I say, shall all these
institutioiis and this auspicious state of things
be put to an end, merely to gratify the state
of Georgia or Mr. Monroe ? God forbid !—
How could the Georgians receive a proposi-
ion from the Cherokees to exchange the land
they now hold. (which originally belonged to
the Cherokees) for a tract of country near
the Rocky Mountains 9 Every body knows
the manner in which such a proposition would
be received by the Georgians. The same
case is applicable to the Cherokees. Unless
force is resorted’ to, unless the gigantic Unit-
ed? States should fall, sword in hand, upon the
innocent babe of the Cherokee Nation, the
Indian title to this land‘ will remain so long
as the sun and moon endure. But I will trou-
ble you with this subject no longer, at pres-
ent ; for_ “‘ sufiicient unto the day is the evil
thereof.”
Mona Bi.t‘rs*t'eiuivo rs Gi:oi'tom.—-Week
before last we‘ published the speech of Gov.
Troup calling upon the legislature and’ people
of Georgia to resist the General Government,
“ stand by their arms,” &r.c.
Representatives this conimuuication was re-
ferred to a Select Committee, of whom Mr.
Lumplcin was chairman,aiid on the 6th inst.he
“The Committee to whom was referred so
much of the Goveriior’s Message as relates to
the disposition which has so often latterly un-
happily evinced itselfiii the" different branch-
es ofthe G’eueral Government to control the
doniestic affairs, and to iiiterineddle with and
to endanger the peace, the repose and union

Q.Wlio was near Mr.Lambert when he fell?‘
In the House of‘
‘presented the following report 81. resolutions: _
5 . ... . ._
'oiie man say to the Union—1’Ve tvill,_po_loii-
ger submit our retained right to the snivelling
insinuatioiis of bad men 9!! the H00!‘ 0f*_C0lt-
gress--our 'c‘oh_stitutional rights to the dark 81.
strained constructions of _designing nie_'r'i upon
judicial branches‘; that we protest the 'doctrine
' and disclaim the principle of unliniited sub-
inis_sion to the General Governn_ient._ ,
_ The great objects of the iperican _Union
were as simple in practice as beatitiful in the-
ory ; they were as easily understood as they
were important; the ‘relations _wi_tli_ foreign
nations were confided to the United,Govei'n-
ment. The powers necessary to the protec-
tection of the confederated states fr. enemies
without, and from enemies within alone were
given. All others were retained to the several
states as separate and sovereign, and must
not be usurped by coostruction—legislative,
executive, or judiciary.
When from 1770 to 1776 the government
of Britain was levying a war of restriction
upon Boston and the nortli,no narrow feeling,
no unworthy suspicions, no sectionaljealous-
ies were harbored in the bosoiiis of the men
ofthe South,bu’. with one voice and with sini-
ultaiieous impulse from Virginia to Georgia,
they united their fate with their colonial breth-
ren. When from 180! to 1811. U18 mighty
powers of France and Eiiglaiid, in all things
else hostile to each other, ctii_iibiiied to drive
from the seas ol the worltl the ships and the
commerce of the nortliein states, the men of
the south did not ineanly stoop to calculate
the cost, but resolving that the wrongs of a
part were the wrongs of the whole American
family, proclaimed defiance to both, and con-
qucred, and won on the mountain wave, and
in the marshes of the west,the freedom ofthe
trade ofthe world.
These are the feelings we brought into the
confederacy : with these we shall leave it, if
unprincipled me 'i prosper in the unholy work
ofdemolisliiiig tjie noble,the atigust,tlie splen-
did fabric of on Union.
The States of the South will convey the
products of a fertile soil and genial clinic to
the markets of the world. The world will
open wide its arms to receive them. Let our
Northern brethren then, if there is no peace
in Union,ifthe compact has become too heavy
to be longer borne,in the name of all the iner-
cies find peace among themselves. Let them
continue to rejoice in their selflrigliteousness;
let them bask in their own elysiuui,while they
depict all South of the Potomac, as hideous
reverse. As Athens, as Sparta,as Rome was,
we will be, they held slaves, we hold them.-
Let the North then forin national roads for
themselves, let them guard with Tariffs their
own interest, let them deepen their public
debt tiiitil an high minded aristocracy shall
arise out of it. We want none of all these
blessings. But in the simplicity of_tlie patri-
archal government, we would still remain
master and servant under our own vine, and
our own fig tree, and confide for safety upon
Him, who ofold time, looked down upon this
state oftliiogs without wrath.
Be it tIi.ere_.fore resolved by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the State of Geor-
gia in General ./Issembly met--That we con-
cur niost heartily in the sentiments on this
subject, cotnmunicated by his Excellency the
Governor, that " having exhausted the argu-
ment, we will stand by our arms,” “and for
the support ofthis determination we mutually
pledge to each other", our lives, our forttiiies,
and our sacred honour.”
Be it further resolved, That his Excellency
the Governor be requested to forward a copy
ofthese resolutions to the Executive of each
state in the Union respectively,with a request
that they lay the same before the several Le-
gislatures, and that his Excellency do also
forward a like copy to each of our Senators
and Representatives in Congress iiistrticting
the foriner,and requesting the latter to co-op-
erate in allnational measures,havingatenden-
cy to thwtirt the objects herein deprecated.
[The Legislature have adjourned without
taking up the above resolutions.]
Lafayette at Bunker H ill.—After the reg-
ular toasts had been given at the recent Bun-
ker Hill Celebration, Mr. Webster rose to
propose a toast in behalf ofthe Directors of
the Bunker Hill Monument Association, of
which he is President. In doing this he re-
marked, that he was probably anticipated, in
the name which he should mention. It was
well known, that the distinguished personage
near him, from the time when he first became
acquainted with the object ofthe Association,
had taken much interest in it,aiid had expres-
sed an intention to be present at the ceremony
of laying the Corner Stone. This ptirpose
he had kindly remembered, through the long
course of his visits to the several States. It
was not at all necessary to say—indeed it
could not be said—how much his presence
had added to the interest and pleasure of the
occasion. He should proceed at once to the
grateful duty which the Directors had enjoin-
ed on him, and propose to the company
“Health and long life to Gen. LA-FAYETTE.”
On which Gen. Lafayette rose and thus
expressed hiinself:—-
Gen'tlemen,—-I will no longer trespass on
your time than to thank you in the name of
my Revolutionary companions in arms and
myself for the testimonies of esteem and af-
fection, I may say, of filial affection, which
have been bestowed upon us on the memora-
ble celebration of this anniversary day ; and
to otferour fervent prayers for the preserva-
tion ofthat Republican freedom, equality and
self-government, that blessed union between
the states of the confederacy, for which we
have fought and bled, and on which rest the
hopes of mankind.—-Permit me to propose
the following s_entiment,—
Bunker Hill, and the holy resistance to op-
pression which has already enfrancliised the
American hemisphere-"—the next halfCentu-
ry J iibilee’s toast shall be-—fo Eafranchisect
Europe. _
The interesting ceremonies ofthe 17th,
were closed’ by a splendid fete given by Mrs.
Webster, at her residence. Gen. La Fayette
and nuniorous other guests were received-in a
style of elegant hospitality. The Gen. after-
wards visited the venerable ex-Presideiit,A-d-
ams, at the‘ family mansion.
Messr.-f. Ctiminirrgs, Hilliard, 8!. Co. Book-
sellers of Boston,have given 8500 to the Bon-

selected for General‘ Lafayette, isiioiv worth
been fulfilled. But ofthe 97 who composed ,
the company 5 only are living, and ofthe 5, ineur market slip. Some yoiitig men who were
inst. the three Thayq-'3,‘ who murdered John
Love‘, several, months since, were executed at
Buffalo’, N. York. They were dressed‘, says
the Emporium, with white shroudsand caps,
and werevescorted to the gallows, erected at
the west part of the village, by the rifle com-
pany, the iiiusic playing a death match. The
prisoners kept tinie, and advanced with a firm
step. After taking their seats on the plat-
form,Rev. Mr. Fillmore made a short address,
calling the attention of the multitude to the
iinprecedented spectacle lielbre them, and so-
liciting tlieprayer of every Christian present
for the unhappy young iiieii, who in a few
uiinutes were to_ closetlteir eyes on all earthly
things. He then_ addressed the Throne of
Grace—the prisoners kneeling and joining in
the devotions. _'.[_‘lie prayerbeiiig finished, he
addressed the people from lst Corinthians, it.
chap. and part of the filth verse,—in which
he introduced the confession ofthe prisoners.
Mr. Fillmore having c_oncluded, he was fol-
lowed in prayer by the Rev. Mr. Story. Then
came the, parting scene. None that witnes-
sed it will eyer forget it. The prisoners rose:
the ropes we"re adjusted 2 their arms were pin-
ioned : their friends; consisting of clergyinen
and others, came to them, and gave the part-
ing hand. After parting with their friends,
they took leave of each other by shaking
hands. It was a sight that touched every
heart. The last words they uttered were e-
jaculatory prayers. In an instant, the drop
fell, and they were launched into eternity.
Nelson was 25 years old, Israel, jr. 23, and
Isaac 921. The two eldest have left wives and
children. They have a sister, who on her last
visit to them, was so much overcome, that she
uttered slirieks_ which reached every cell in
the prison, and drew tears even in the hardy
felon’s eyes. Their mother on the same oc-
casion, left them in indescribable agony. On
the morning ofexecution, the father was re-
leased froiu prison on his own bail. He has
left the place, but he can never forget the
moment of his last parting with his sons.-
They were dressed in their grave clothes ;-
and the shock overcame hitn. He fainted and
fell, and, it was some time before he recover-
ed ; and recovered only to remember the ruin
and utter destruction of his family.
Steam Boat J1ccident.——The new steamboat
Constitution, belonging to‘ the Hudson River
Association, which left here on Monday after-
noon for Ti'oy,=orr_ the, saiiie, night, ruptured
the main fine of one of her Boilers. By this
accident, the three cooks, (a man and two wo-
‘men, colored persons,) were scalded to death.
They were lying on the floor at the time, and
would have been out of danger had they been
in their births. No other persons were inju-
red, nor is the Boat otherwise damaged in the
least. The Boat returned to the city yester-
day morning with her other boiler. The pas-
sengers were taken off by the Efllich/niond, then
bound up.—-.N,'- Y. Marc. fldyertiser.
The Poughkeepsie Observer says, “ sever-
al other of the hands on board the boat were
slightly scaltied. There wore about 100 pas-
sengers on board at tlie_ time of the accident,
who all escaped uniiijured. From the testi-
mony produced at the coroner’s inquest, it
appears that the boat left New York for Al-
bany at 5 o’clock on Monday evening, that
her boilers and fines hadthat day been exain-
ined and cleaned ;’that_it was calculated that
her boilers were capablelofsustaining fourteeti
inches of steam with safety ;but that fr. great
caution,directions had been given by the pro-
prietors not to stiffer it to exceed nine inches;
that these directions have always been care-
fully aiid rigidly observed; that the safety
valves are so regulated as to throw off the
steam when it rises to nine inches ; that dur-
ing the passage from New York to this place,
it at no time exceeded that pressure. That
when the boat arrived at Newbiirgli, there
were nine inches of steam on the boiler, but
had been reduced to eight before arriving at
Poughkee'psie,and while landing and receiv-
ing passengers at this place, the safety valve
wasraised, and the steam thrown otf,by which
it was still further reduced to between six and
seven inches,&r. while still in the act of throw-
ing off the steam, the explosion took place.-
Tlie captain had but a moment before exam-
ined the machinery,the state of the steam,and
the quantity of water in the boilers, and had
found all, as he supposed,‘perfectly safe. The
first engineer and one ofthe firemen were still
standing before the boiler by the side of the
flue, and all concurred in the opinion thatev-
ery thing was in perfect order. It is the uni-
ted opinion of the captain and both engineers
ofthe boat, that the accident is not attributa-
ble to any extraordinary pressure ofthe steam.
—The boilers are of wrought iron and placed
upon the open deck. Had the boiler been
below, and the explosion taken place, it is
more than probable that the destruction of all
the lives of the passengers, and the wreck of
the boat would have been the consequence.
[Two engineers who examined the flue at
Pouglikecpsie testified before the Coroners,
that in their opinion "there was some fault or
defect in the construction ol the flue or boiler.
The fracture was along by a row of rivets, the
most of which stillrremain-the fault does not
appear to be in the rivets, but the iron is broke
from and between t'lieui‘.”]
Interesting Jubilee.-—A party of ladies and
gentlemen met on the 10th June at the spring
of Daniel Morgan, Esq-. near Shepherdstown,
Va. to celebrate the day, pursuant to arrange-
ment inade-fiftyyears ago: It appears that
in the spring of 1775- two volunteer coin'pa-
nies were raised, one in Winchester,»tlie oth-
er in Shepherdstown, as the quota Virginia
had been required tofurnish. They turrjed
out for twelve months, foriiished their ownin-
fles and eqiiippage, and marched‘ to Boston in
21 days. They were commanded by Hugh
Stevenson and Daniel’ Morgan, (afterwards
Col. Stevenson and Gen. Morgan.) On the
10th ofJune, 1775, and previous to their de-(
parture, Col. Wm. Morgan gave a barbacue
to Stevenson"s company at the spring above
mentioned; and the heroes of the company
should meet at that spring on that day fifty
years to come ;” which agreement has thus
only two were present, the others being pre- “
vented by age and infirmity. Those present
were, Major Henry Bedinger, ofBerkely, Va.
and Maj. Michael Bedinger_,,ofKentucky.——
The other three are Jtitlge Robert White, of

oners. The Greeli fleet had sailed from"I-Iy-y
drav to the nmount ofaliout fortysail in quest
05 them. ahd it was expected an action. be.-
tween the two fleets would soon occur. Al.
brig of war, and sonic other vessels had beeii
taken by the advanced ships of the Greek
squadron. Patras was closely besieged bi
land and blockaded by sea. A French ship’,
ofwarjust arrived here, has been ordered 0' '
by the Greek squadron, and not allowed to
enter. President Conduriotti was there iii
person. Gen. Colocotroni and his.party,sus-
pected of treason, were closely confined at
Hydra to await their trial. The Sauiiots havd
“sent a deputation to Hydra for siiccor ofsoiue
ships as they expect an attack front the Otto-_
man fleet, which was granted to them. Th3
Ottoman fleet have partly come out fr. Con"-
stantiiiople. A squadron of Algerines are
daily expected in the Archipelago, against
the Greeks. Great preparations are makin
by the Turks to enter the Morea at all points.
The Greeks were also making great prepara-
tions to meet them.-
FROM FRANCE.—Pal'l3 papers to the 14th
iilt. were rec’d at N. York on the 20th inst.-
Public attention was almost entirely occupied
with preparatioiis for the coronation of the
King. The Duke of Northumberland, who'
IS to be the representative ofthe British King
on this occasion, had arrived and been intro-_
duced to Court, with the greatest splendour
imaginable. The Tunisian Envoy, was also
presented to the King on the same "day, with‘
the usual ceremony, and offered to his Majes-
ty the presents sent by the Dev ofTuiiis, con‘-
sisting ofa rich saddle, many shawls, napltini‘
embroidered with gold, a beautiful counter-
pane, and several pair of shoes and saurlals
embroidered with gold. The canopy des-
tined for the coronation is most magnificent."
It is ofclotli of gold ornamented with bunch.-
es of grapes, ears of corn, oak branches, and
stems oflilies. These ornaments, aliho’ wu-
ven, have the appearance of embroirlery.-_-
Upon the lateral fronts are embroidered a pel-
ican and lamb, and at their extremities the
Kiiig’s cypher, surmounted by a crown in dia-
monds. The upper part is decorated with a"
group of angels supporting a globe.’
A letter from Lisbon states that an arrange-
ment is nearly completed between Portugal‘
and Brazil, by which the King will retain the
nominal sovereignty of the latter country, and
after his death the two ,kingdoins"_ be united
under the Emperor, An iiideiiiiiity of two
millions sterling isalso talked of,which Brazil’
is to pay out ofthe English loan.
Thebes and Athens had been relieved from
their apprehensions by the departure of the
2,000 Albanians for Negropont. It appears
that the Turks will not act until the Piiclia
who commands in Albania shall be ready to
advance for the GulfofLepanto. The Egyp-
tian fleet is blockaded by Modon. The Greeks’
have never felt more confidence. _ _
Letters from Constantinople to the l'l'th of
April, state that the Egyptian expedition a‘-‘
gainst the Morea had iieariy failed. _ Ibrahim-
Pacha had contented himself with waiting
between Coron and Modon for recruits, and‘-
neither Calauiata nor Navariii had been cap’-
tiired. Conduriotti is commander in chief.
The following is from the Augsburg Gaz. :'
