Since the preceding was prepared,

that those principles and efforts compromise at once the interests of the throne Sc the nation. But I ought not to be deprived, by interruptions and by a tumult, which you even considered inexcusable, of the right of being heard before I am judged. I desire that it may not be permitted to impute to me, even hypoci ideally, the absurd design of basely insulting, without motive, without interest, the

a late arrival brings Paris accounts to the 11th March. We have not room now to detail the scenes in the chamber of depu tics, on the expulsion of M. Manuel. On the 3d of March he appeared in the chamber, and contested the decision of the committee for his expulsion, lleasccn-

sage to congress, relative to the impro

priety of any nation s undertaking to regulate the internal affairs of another nation. u There have been several interesting debates in the cortes here in Lisbon on this most extraordinary invasion of Spain. They have taken preparatory steps for assisting in the general defence of the Peninsula The army is now recruiting, so as to be placed on the footing of 18 4, viz. 40 000 men and upwards. There is a proposition now under discussion, which will probably be carried, to raise 20 or C5 additional battalions of light troops and to organize 200,000 national guards " The Greeks. The Austrian Observer, a paper formerly hostile to the Greeks, extremely anxious to exhibit them in the light of barbarians, now admits their humanity, Sc the consistency which their government has acquired The Turkish general had agreed to an armistice, which was expected to lead to the immediate recognition of Greece as an independent bUile.
