From Europe. Wc have Lon
don dates to the 22d April; but
up to that period it was not cer
tainly known what arrangements
had been made for the re-organization
of the British adminstra
tion. Mr. Canning's appointment
as Premier was hailed with en
thusiasm in Ireland; but in Eng
land, the London Globe says, "a
favorite bet in the high Tory cir
cles is, on Mr. Canning's not con
tinuing in ofiice two months."
Doubtless the nobility and high
church party united, will consti
tute a powerful opposition; but
those who wager as abovemen
tioncd, must, we presume calcu
late largely on the weakness and
instability of the mass of the na
tion, or think the King very fickle
in his choice of a Minister.
In France, a victory no less im
portant to liberal principles had
been achieved. The jirojct tic
lot for the re-establishment of the
censorship of the Press, after re
ceiving the sanction of the Cham
ber of Deputies, had been formal
ly withdrawn from the House of
Peers, and of course abandoned
by the Ministry.
From Greece, the present advi
ces are yet more favorable than
our nrecedinir accounts. We
jniturc, which the popular branch
passed, and the nobles rejected
now, again, the freedom of dis
cussion is due to the same interposition.
Greece. Extract of a letter da
ted Corfu, March 24: "Athens is
at length delivered there can no
longer be a doubt of it from the
presenccof the enemy; the Greeks
have succeeded in chasing Red
schid Pacha from the town. All
the letters announce to us the
complete victory which the defen
ders of their country have gained
over the Turks. Colleti and Gen.
Caratasso had already disembark

of Macedonians, Thracians, andj
Thessalians, confided to the card
of D. Euian and Gregory Sculzo,j
were in advance at the camp ofl
LIcusis. I owards the end ot the
past month, Mavromichaeli arriv-!
ed in the same camp; he who, from
the commencement of the Greek
Revolution, has made so many
great sacrifices for the liberty of
his country, lie brought with
him 1500 Mainotes. The num
ber of the Greeks, at this time as
sembled in Attica amounted to
more than 6000 men, and Kioutahi
Seraskier of the Turkish army,
had nearly 8000 soldiers; but there
was a remarkable difference in
Russia. Letters from Berlin,
of 9th April say, that the last ac
counts from St. Petersburg leave
no doubt of the determination of
the Russian cabinet to come to a
decisive arrangement with the
Porte, relative to the affairs of
Greece. They affirm, also, that
the Russian Minister of War has
sent eventual orders to the Gene
ral commanding the divisions sta
tioned from Choczyen on the
Pruth, to Czcrskasy on the Dnie
per. It is thought that, to put an
end to the tergiversations of the
Divan, this mass of troops, which
amounts to above 100,000 men,
will be concentrated on the Pruth.
Such a measure cannot fail to
produce a great sensation at Con
stantinople, and must dispose the
Porto to consent to an arrange
ment with Greece.

France. Paris extracts to the
18th April, afford the gratifying
information, that, in the House of
Peers, thc modifications made to
the law on the Press were so radi
cal, as to induce the King's cabi
net to withdraw it altogether.
This is a glorious triumph of libe

from its composition, might gene

assertion of such principles thc

however, that this House has in

consented to their sacrifice. The

the Greeks for three hours.
Redschid Pacha showed in this
affair great ability; a party from

Eumorphopoulo, and some Mai

kept their position until one in the
afternoon, when favored by the
dense smoke which covered the
country round, they directed their
march northward, and succeeded
in making their way. The num
ber of the killed and wounded is
not yet ascertained: a great many
Greeks are wounded. As to the
Turks, it is presumed that one

May has passed, and like the preceding
mouth, the weather appeared to threaten
every thing with destruction; cold winds
and heavy rains have visited us with
scarce any intermission, and the planter
now views with dismay his fields of corn
prostrate, and his cotton looking deplo
rable. The corn may still prosper,
should thc season hereafter prove propi
tious; the cotton will yield but a meagre
crop the fruit trees still promise abun
dance. The earth appears to be com
pletely saturated with water, the low
lands are principally flooded, and the
water courses are swollen to a consider
able height.
