 "On the eIst March, Lord Cochrane, af- ter the letter he had written to the Assembly of Castri, declared to all the Grecian Chiefs that he should depart immediately, if their disputes were not put an end to. This threat had the desired effect. The two assemblies have decided to re-assemble at ParOs-The most obstinate chiefs have consented to aban- don (at least for the mOment) their preten- ! sions and all misunderstanding has ceased On the 24th March, very bloody affair Oc- cured before Athens. Karaiskaki has been slightly wounded in the forehead. An i'm pOrtant position was carried by the Greeks. On the 24th March, in the evening, Lord Cochrane departed from Egina, with Tom bas, accompanied by four other vessels. On the 25th the steam boat came to take sup ply of coals for 25 days. Miaulis has receiy- ed an order to reiOin Lord COchrane with 9 other vessels.--The expedition IS secret. Some of the sailors imagine that it is direct ed against Alexandria, others agaist Candia. The vessel of Capt. Alfnate, sent from Leg horn, arrived on the 23d of March, at Egina. She carried 5000 balls, 100 barrels of pow der and l2O mil4ters of flour. A portion of these stores have been embarked on board the vessels forming the secret expedition. - Lord Cochrane has communicated to Kara ! iskaki, that if the siege of Athens was not raised on the 18th of April, he himself shonId make disposition to succor the beseiged, and attack the Turks. Miaulis and Tombasi have written to M. Eynard, to the effect that they would do all in their power to assist Lord Cochrane, and they asked nothing but to serve under his orders. General Church was setting out to join Karaskaki.

 'All the Greek newspapers, and particular " that published at Hydra, are filled with joy at the arrival of Lord Cochrane. The re-es- tablshment ofFabvier is confirmed" Smyrna, April 1S-ln order to put a stop to the many piracies which ruined commerce and navigation, the commanders of the En- 1 gIish, French, and Austrian squadrons have agreed together to determine in what places and channels ships belonging to these squad rOns shall constantly cruise.

 French Army in Spain.-Orders have been issued by the minister of War for the Army of Observation to retrograde to the same dis tance from the frontiers as the armies of Eng land and Portugal are at present posted. These orders have been the result of the complaints made by Mir. Lamb to M. Lima, 1 with respect to the movements in advance of our army, which appeared to have no other object than to support the insurrection of FL { vas and extend t to other places on the from tiers of Port agal-Lon.

 Insurrectioe in one Of tue Burn,Gn Provinces Our English papers, furnish us with an ac- count of this insurrection from which we de- rive the following facts: Hostilites, at the last dates were in active progress. The Taens had gained an advantage, but not so decided one as was at first supposed. In the begin ing of December, the Governor of the Man taban district had sent 700 men to aid the Viceroy at Rangoon, and these. with 700 of his troops, marched to Syria strongly stock aded town. A division it burnt Kemmen- dine. as yell as the suburb of Takali, and 800 boats. A strong party of Taliens occu- pied strong position near the town, at the last dates. The Pegu colors were hoisted at DalIa.

 PoLGr Erpedition.-Early in April, 1897, Captain Parry embarked in the HeckIa, for the purpose ofagain attempting to reach the North Pole. The NavigatOrs proceed to Hammerfest in Norway, where some rein deer will be provided for them to assist in drawing the boats on the ice when they are used as sledges. Upon the arrival of the Hecla at Spitzbergen, after securing her firm ly, she will be left to the charge of a lieuten- ant &c. The expeditions, into which the rest of the officers, and the crew are to be divided. will then start on their adventur- ous routes. The first, which is to proceed direct for the North Pole, is to consist of two parties ten men eaclfsand two officers, in two boats, which may be used on the ice with wheels or as sledges. The second division is under Lieutenant Foster, R. N., an officer of great scientific attainments it is his intcn- ton, if possible to sail around Sptzbergen. It having been correctly ascertained to be an island he will lay down the exact portions of the different bearings and make many astro- nomical observations and experiments in magnetism. The adventure thus far exceeds in boldness. any thing which Captain Parry has yet undertaken. It is calculated that he will have to travel little less than 1000 miles,pro- vided he and his companions reach the pole, carrying with them the whole of their neces- sares. Should the vessel be able to penetrate to eighty degrees, it would be 500 miles in a straight line to the Pole, which 1t is not prob able they could pursue, as they must be con stantly making detours, to avoid mountains of ice, or perhaps land. They are however almost sanguine ofsuccess, and expect to re-
