CapoD’lslrin, on the 30th ot April, which lasted
2 hours. The Emperor had subsequently left

the “ Russians will not attack, but the slightest

day rose to 3-8. Towards the close of (he
market, the price declined to its old stan

the market. This Loan, report says, i
lor two millions and a half sterltrig, and it
is raised for the service of the Russian
Government. Six eminent Mercantile
Houses in the city are named as the ta

LONDON, May 29.
Letters have been received from Lisbon
to the 4lb inst. by the way of France, which
! communicate ihe important intelligence of
a conspiracy haring been foi mod there to j
] overthrow the Constitutional System, but!
i which was detected sufficiently eady to]
j prevent the ill consequences which might!
j otherwise have attended it. It ai-pnarsj
i that the first step t il;e;v by the Govern- i
jm<*nf, on being made acquainted with the i
j plot, was to issue a Decree for the suspen }
i sion of the Habeas Corpus Act, which hasj
been in force ever since the adoption of;
the Constitutional System. This measure!
led to the arrest 0f26 persons ; some of]
the advices mention tha? 28 persons were:
taken up, who were said to be implicated]
in the conspiracy. All these individuals :
were examined privately, six of whom it!
was determined should be t immediately [
sent out of the kingdom. We understand 1
that none of them were persons of consid

HOUSE fF COMMONS—May 20.
JWI VIO A TW.K’ BILL-
The Hnge went into a committee on!
this bill. Mr. Wallace explained (lie nature]
of the aheraiuns which tie intended to!
mnke in the existing Navigation Laws of]
the cr.untiy. The general object of those
alterations the hor. gentleman stated (o be
the simplification of (tie laws, by relaxing
some of the euictments in force for the re
gulation of the trade r.f foreign shipping
with the ports of this kingdom, so as to
place the several nations <>f Europe upon
the same footing in that respect one with
another. Alluding to restrictive-measures,
the hon. gentleman observed that they
should be resorted .'o merely for the purpose
of protecting our essential interests ; and
if other countries were disposed to act on
the same principle, to him most
evident that the freest system of trade
would be found by far the most advantage
ous. Redid homage to that free arid libe
ral system, which, while it was beneficial
to thei rs, was most peculiarly beneficial to
those by whom it was supported. His anx
ious desire was to give the greatest range
to the energies of commerce—to give the
utmost excitement to enterp; ize and specu
lation —to extend (he benefits of unfetter
ed trade to all mankind, to whatever soil,
climate, or quarter of the globe his destiny
attached him. The object of the bill was!
to attain this end, or at all events fn mark ‘
the disposition ofGriat Britain toe Sect it ;
Gentlemen were,doubtless, fully awt.ee .f!
the great events that were passing in South!
America, anil of the splendid field that
was there opening to commercial enter
prize. What had already been known
through accredited agents seemed to hold
out the most flattering prospects ; nor did
the government of the U. States manifest
any slownessqr indisposition toavail itsell:
of these advantages. Probably the netv!
states in South America were bv this time]
recognized as legitimate by the President]
and Congress, and that most valuable com-i
merce opened the only competition with us:
in that quarter could inspire us with the]
least anxiety. It was not for him, on an!
occasion like the present, to touch upon the!
reasons that might decide the question of j
our recognition; hut he thought it right that i
our law should be so far altered as to enable!
us in this latter case not to delay the inter
course which might then be opened upon
conditions of reciprocal advantage, and
of receiving in our ports their ships with]
as much freedom as ours were admitted in
to the ports of South America.
Sir W. IJe Crespigny protested against
the principle of the Bill. It was equally
hostile to shipowners and seamen- Sir W.
Ridley said (he expense in navigating an
English ship of 500 tons, aod a foreign ship
of the same burden, was including the buil
ding, insurance, sailors, wages, and food,
upwards of I7OOJ against the English ship j
therefore the foreign ship ought not to be
placed in the same condition with the Eng
lish ship. At all events, parties should
have time to consider the subject before il
passed into a law, Mr. Davenport op
posed that part of the Bill which referred
to the siljt T, Wilson did
not think that the tneasore would be nrr.
duetivc of the good which it at anticipated.
Mr. Ellice suggested the propriety of u iv’
ing time for the fullest consideration 0 ,|
• the subject. Silk, which could be thrown
in this country tor 9s. could he thrown in
Italy for 2s. Mr. Wallace would nut
consent to hare the Bill stopped _\j r
j M. A. Taylor said the effect of die Bill
would be to transfer the trade of Eno-l 4lt( |
to the opposite shores. Mr. Ricardo
would support the bill, for hi a only com
’ plaint was, that it went nut far enough.
Mr. Brougham and the Chancellor of dm
Exchequer supported the bill M r , fp.
I lice said, that if the h use consented to
take i if the restrictions now imposed o,j
trade, it niu-t also consent to take off the
burthens in the shape of taxation to width
]it was liable. On a verbal amendment
j ] proposed hy Mr. K. Wodehouse, ,| IC h ;njae ,

I he enterprise of (he Greeks against the

a government by which they where ti'eated
with special favor, has been led by them to
ruin ; and an island distinguished beyond
[all those in the Egean Sea, by cultivation,
industry and riches, is given up to misery
and desolation. ‘1 hough we have no de

thing respecting the expedition, there

bled at Tscheme just at the time that the
[insurgents were on the point of storming
the citadel. As soon ns the captains of
the ships of Tspara and Hvdra, which had
conveyed the troops to the insurgents, per
ceived the Turkish fleet, they cut their
rabies, and fled precipitately. It is said
that seven of these ships fell into the hands
jof the Turks. After the captain Pacha
j had landed his troops he first tried means
of conciliation; he sent seveial flags of
[truce, partly to the magistrates of the dis-
I tricts; cries of rebellion, accompanied by
‘cannon shots, were the only answers he re
ceived. A murderous conflict began; the
j insurgents were driven from one strong
(position, from one battery to another, and.
[were pursued with unabated fury into tlm-
Jstreefs of the town. The massacre is not
jto be described. The loss of the Turks in
(killed anil severely wounded is stated at
5000 men; hence we may infer how great
the loss of the vanquished must have been.
The Catholic inhabitants of the island,
who here, as well as in the oilier revolted
i-lands, has taken no part in in the insur
rection, were pro'ec'ed, partly by the gov-t
ernor, Veliki Pacha, ard partly by tha
foreign Consuls, who did not experience
any insult whatever. ,
We look forward with real apprehen
sion to the farther accounts of these events.
It may be easily what bad. con
sequences it will- have for Smyrna, Seals,
Nuova, Samnr, &e. But even in itself tha
catastrophe of Scio is one of the most la
mentable and fatal, and will besides b--
followed by the ruin of a number of
French, Italian, German and English,
merchants at Oonstantinaple and Smyrna,
who had very extensive mercantile connec
fjqn with the Scioto
