£ aturtJa|> to PA]Dittrat)lo Pasta. LONDON, MARCH 23. THE Paris Journals to Thursday have come to hand, but generally contain no news of impor- tance. The two men, Bergeron and Benoit, accused of being concerned in shooting at the King on the opening of the Chambers in November have been acquitted as have all the parties so long under trial at Montbrison, on account of being on board the Carlo Aberto when it landed the Duchess de Berri last spring. Nothing is now said of her Highness. Three of the Parisian Journals were indicted for publishing what were called false reports of the proceedings on the trials of the regicides:" of these the Temps has been acquitted, and the others would probably meet the same success. The Parisian public appear to be shewing a very creditable spirit in the manner in which they come forward to make some amends to that worst-used of Frenchmen, the patriotic banker Lafitte, for the immense losses which he has sustained by the Revolution. M. Aguado, the late banker of the King of Spain, subscribed with great liberality no less than 40001. sterling, and it was expected that the contribu- tions, now pouring in from all sides, would eventually amount to 120,0001. Marshal Maison arrived in the French capital, from Vienna, the preceding day, to re- ceive instructions previously to his proceeding to St. Petersburgh. By the French mail on Friday morning we have accounts of the following Convention approved of by the Sultan, in which the Porte agrees not to call any other power to her assistance than that of France, to terminate the differences between her and the Pacha of Egypt; and France promises to the Porte to gua- rantee her power, if necessary, to maintain the equali- zation of Europe. She also promises to engage Mehe- met Ali to renounce his high demands, and to content himself with the Pachalick of St. Jean d'Acre. And if the Pacha of Egypt rejects these proposals, France promises not only her protection, but that of England to the Porte. M. Maendville has entirely acted in con- cert with Admiral Roussin, and has approved of the Convention, although he has not signed it. It is a sort of offensive and defensive alliance with the Porte. The news from Oporto since our last, is more cheer- ing to the Constitutional cause than previous accounts had led us to expect. Government received despatches by the Alban, arrived at Falmouth, from Capt. Glas- cock, Commander of the British squadron in the Douro, stating, that the Miguelites had, on the 4th, attacked Don Pedro, and had sustained a complete defeat, with the loss of 600 men in killed and prisoners. The object of their attack was to intercept the communication be- tween the town of Oporto and the Foz, in which they failed. Had the Miguelites succeeded in their opera- tions, nothing could have saved the city of Oporto. On the part of Don Pedro the loss was but trifling, the Scotch battalion (whose conduct during the whole af- fair was of the most brilliant description), under the command of Col. Shaw, having suffered most, especially in officers. So decisive was the repulse of the Mi- guelites, that nothing prevented Marshal Solignac from following up his success but the want of sufficient pro- visions for an open campaign. "From the 4th to the 12th several vessels succeeded in landing their cargoes at Oporto, and the city was in consequence relieved from the scarcity that was left. The Lord of the Isles steamer (supposed to be lost) had landed the troops on board on the coast north of the Douro, not having been able to pass the law. With respect to the sickness at Oporto, we understand that the last accounts are de- cidedly more favourable than those by which they were preceded. Of the devotion of the inhabitants, under all their privations and difficulties, it is impossible to speak too highly. The news from Spain continues cheering to the friends of popular principles and improvement. An express from Madrid brings intelligence that Don Carlos has been banished to Rome. Zea Bermudez still re- mains in the Cabinet, but the Queen's party has so far predominated as to persuade Ferdinand to issue an Or- dinance for the convocation of the Cortes. The King had, with some reluctance, it is said, signed an order for t, sending the Princess of Beira, the sister of Don Miguel, and his own sister-in-law, back to Portugal, on account of some discovered intrigues with the Carlists. The General Steam-navigation Company's mail- packet Attwood, which arrived on Thursday from Rot- terdam, brought over a messenger with despatches from the Dutch Government to M. Dedel. No hint is given of the nature of the communication, but it ap- pears that before the sailing of the Attwood the hopes to which that negociator's mission at first gave rise had suffered a check. b Hamburgh journals to the 20th inst. have arrived, and it will be satisfactory to the lovers of peace to find a full confirmation of the fact that Prussia has reduced her military establishmeht, which it is reasonable to suppose she can only have done in consequence of her entire conviction that the peace of Europe is no longer in danger of interruption.
