To state a true cause for the above decline is out of the question ; the well-informed do '.tat know themselves, but many are selling out to purchase French Rentes.

MINES This forenoon we received the Austrian Observer to the Gth of May, and the Aligen:eine Zeitung to the I lth. The former contains numerous details of the great preparations made to invade Western Greece by Itenscuin PACHA, who is said to have arrived at Arta, and whose energy, talents, and impetuosity, will make him do everything to ensure the success of his enter rise. No doubt the preparations are formidable, and the:Barbarian leaders, who have an additional stimulus (that of a head in danger in case of defeat) will exert hem selves to the utmost ; but the Greeks s2em to view the contest without fear. The Greek Chronicle admits that Western Greece has by far more formidable forces than formerly, but adds, " We are convinced that the spirit of patriotism and freedom, which has so often defeated the Albanians (the most valiant and formida ble of the troops of the Porte), will again bailie them with that energy by which the Christians of that coun try have so often distinguished themselves." The Greeks are strengthening all the positions ell Western Greece. The Provincial Government has judged it necessary to summon all the inhabitants of that province to take up arms. The intelligence in theAllgenteine Zeitungis of a far dif ferent character, and relates to the fate of the Egyptian army, which, there seems little doubt, has been defeated near Modon. An article from Odessa of the 22d April, states, on the authority of accounts from Greece, which are believed to be authentic, that the whole expedition had entirely failed.; and even the Captains of European Itips that come from the coasts of the Morea, affirm that the Egyptian troops are in a very disorganised state, Lear Modon. Accounts from Corfu, to the Bth of April, merely state, in general, with regard to the situation of affairs in the Morea, that the Egyptian Expedition may be considered to be as good as ruined ; 3000 Egyptian ti cops are said still to hold out in a fortified position, but the Greeks hoped soon to compel them to surrender. List night the House of Lords was occupied upwards two hours receiving and reading Petitions on the s•ii , jcct of the Roman C itholic Claims. In the House of Cominons, Mr. Secretary CANNING presented Copies of three Treaties ; the first was be t.% cen this country and Sweden, and has for its object the abolition of the Slave Trade. The second "as " a Treaty of amity, commerce, *and naviga tion, between his MAJESTY and the United Provinces of Rio de la Plata!' The presenting this Treaty , hailed with Inud acclamations from all parts of the House. The Right I-lon. Gentleman then laid on tiie table the Copy of a Convention between his MAJESTY and the Emperor of' RUSSIA ; respecting the 'North-west Coast of Arierica. He said the Houser would recollect, that a few years ago a Russian Ukase had been published, %hid) set up some overbearing claiths respecti-g this territory. The present Conven tion, a Copy of which will be found in another part of our Paper, completely abrogated the claims of that Ukase, and the question was now so completely settled, that no new disputes were likely to arise. The Treaty with the Provinces of Rio de la Plata, as well as an ab stract of the Treaty with Sweden, have already been laid before the public. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER afterwards, in a Committee, brought forward his project for increasing the salary of the Judges. It is proposed, that the Lono CHIEF JUSTICE of the K,ing's Bench shall have a salary of 10,0001. a year, in lieu of all fees and emolu ments whatsoever ; to the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE of • the Commons Pieas, 8,0001. /•year on the same con dition ; the MASTER of the ROLLS is to be allowed 7,004/. a-year; the LORD CHIEF BArtoN of the Ex chequer, 7,000/. a-year ; the Vice-CnANCELLOR, 6,0001. a. Tear ; and each of the Puisne Judges 6,0001. a-year. The proposal met with general approbation from all sides of the Houte. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

Campbell, Esq. from his seat in Hants. Departures:—Captain Kelly, for Dublin; and Mr. and Mrs. Ri:ketts, for Paris. We are most happy to stAte, in contradiction to a report of yesterday, that there is nothing whatever alarming in the state of the KING'S heahb. Ills blanny is well known to be subject to the gout, and it is merely a slight attack of this complai with which he has now to contend. The Duke of YORK transacted i.i litary business with the KING yesterday. Yesterday morning, the Duke of YORK reviewed a body of light Cavalry, on Hounslow Heath. The Earl of LIVERPOOL left 'own on Sand sy, for his residence at Coombe Wood. The Noble Earl returned to his residence at Whitehall yesterday afternoon. Yes erdey morning, Mr. S cretary CANNING re turned to Gloucester Lodge from Coombe Wood, the scut of the Earl of Lissa:ow. _ _ —.. Sir G. WARRENDER entertained a distigguished party to dinner yesterday, at his house in Whitehall-place. Sir THOMAS FARQUHAR entertained the Marquis and 'Marchioness of LANSDOWN and a distinguished party, to dinner _ . yesterday, at his house in Si. James's-street. Sir WILLIAM CURTIS gave a grand aquatic fele on Thursday, to the Duke of Yosi and a party of select friends, on board his yacht, at Blackwall. The Baronet proceeds on a voyage to Petersburgh and other Northern Courts at the end of the week. The Irish Court of King's Bench have granted a new tri.ll in the case of BRERE U. the Earl of DONOUGIi. MORE. The action was on the suit for a malicious pro secution, and the Jury had given a verdict for 2.501. At Chatham, on Thursday next, will be launched, be tween one and two o'clock, from the Dock-yard, that beautiful ship the Foratumami, of 86 guns. At a ship launch at Monmouth, yesterday se'nnight, fourteen fell overboard, three of whom were drowned. Freemasonry seems rapidly to extend its influence over Scotland. Under the sanction of the Grand Lodge of Scotland, a Lodge has been formed in the Royal Burgh of North Berwick, named " St. Baldred's Lodge," MENAI BRIDGE.—Three snore chains have been thrown over, and no accifent has occurred. The road way will be opened in a few weeks for foot passengers and carriages. As about 30 of the workmen em ployed in blasting the Swilly rocks in the Menai, near Bangor Ferry, were returning home, on Thursday se'nnight, in a small boat, the boat was drove against the rocks and upset, when the whole number were pre cipitated into the water, and two were unfortunately drowned. The remainder were picked up by boats. By accounts from La Guayra to the 28th of March, the departure of the French ships of war from Puerto Cabello, and the amicable adjustment of the differences respecting the captured French merchantmen, are con• firmed. An English vessel called the Isabella, bound from Jamaica to Havannah, had been captured and brought into La Guayra, where she was condemned as Spanish property ; but the vessel, with a few packages of dry goods, was restored, and she proceeded on the voyage to Kingston, on the 17th of March. HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—Sunday night, about eleven o'clock, as a Gentleman named CHURCH was proceed ing home to Camberwell, in passing Newington-cause way, nearly opposite the Church, he was stopped by two footpads, one of whom struck him a blow in the face that knocked him down, and while in this position his pockets were rifled of their contents. The robbers ,got away before assistance arrived on the spot, but Mr. CHURCH had a sufficient view of their persons and dress to be enabled to give a description of them at Union-hall Police Office the following day. Sunday afternoon, between two and four o'clock, in the absence of the family, Mr. LAWRENCE'S house, in Goswell-street, was entered by picking the lock of the street-door, and a quantity of plate, wearing apparel, a gold watch, arc. carried off. There was a lodger in the upper part of the house, who was disturbed by the noise which the robbers made below; and on her approach they made a precipitate retreat. Two fellows were ob served standing at the door between the above named hours, without hats on them, a regular practice among thieves now, to induce passengers to suppose they be long to the house. The Election at Guildford for Coroners for Surrey, concluded on Saturday morning, when Mr. RAND and Mr. Jet.mcoz declined further contest, and Messrs. Caarza and WOODS were accordingly returned, and subsequently sworn into office. The numbers at the final close of the poll stood as follows: Mr. Carter . 1236 I Rand Mr. Woods . 1171 Jellicoe • Somebody was condoling with Lord Nal:nutty, a few days ago, on the majority of 21 for the third read ing of the Catholic Bill: " Poh I" replied the venerable joker, " that's nothing ; h is within one of a minority, you know." 914 839 DRURY-LANE THEATIiE. Last night the tong-promised r o man tic D r ama of Faustus was prod uce d at thi s Th eatre , w h en a very crowded audience, on the call (f Mr. Tenn!, in a Pro - - logue, unanimously agreed they would " All critical rigour relax or restrain, And let Reaion for once give to Fancy the reign." niustus is of the Satanic school ; and Is the joint pro duction of Mr. SOANE, who supplies the German diablerie, and Mr. TERRY, who, we presume, mad up the rest, excepting always the beautiful scenery by' STANFIELD ' and the excellent machinery under thy', direction of Mr. WALL Am which wei e the mainstay,' of the Piece. But to the story— Faustus having acqUired a perfect knowledge of the whole circle of science, like Alexander after he had conquered the world, sighs for the attainment of more extended knowledge. He dives deep into the study of astrology ; and is at length enabled, by " conjura• tions dire," to "call spirits from the vasty deep." Ile " sells his eternal jewel to the common enemy of mankind," on condition that wealth and pleasure shalt be his. Under the guardianship of Mepkistophiles he commences his career of wickedness—a Giovanni in principle, a demon in power, he seduces Aldine, the niece of an Italian Count, murders her brother Enrico, and forcibly carries off her cousin Kovno. As the time approaches at which his con tract with the foul fiend is to terminate, the latter suffers his dupe to fall into the hands of the Inquisition. Here Mephistoietites counsels hint to murder the keeper of the prison, as the only mode by which he can effect his t seape. Faustus, who is not utterly abandoned of Heaven, now refusCS to comply ; he, however, does escape by one of ate most extraordinary and best executed illusions ever attempted in theatric representations, that of suddenly multiplying himself and his Fatnulus Wagner six -fold, and ap pearing at one and the same time in six different partsof the stage; from whence also, at the same instant, they altogether, with Me plastopliCes and the Lady whom be had seized, as mysteriously vanish. From &lime to crime, always racked by remorse, now betrayed into the hands and dungeons of the Inquisitors, now trans ported by the Demon into the midst of the Palace of Milan, 'he is led to assassinate the sleeping King; is metamorphosed into his semblance, ascends the throne, and plays the tyrant, till re cognized by Aline, and deserted by his Demon, he is hurled, by avenging fiends, in his own restored semblance, amidst terrific volumes, showers, and torrents of fire, into the infernal regions of Pandemonium. n addition to the characters already mentioned, there are duce or four of a comic character, who carry on a sort of underplot. The Piece commenced with happy auspices. Even the Prologue, delivered by TERRY, was interrupted by plaudits; and the Over ture, by WE EEL had the wild and appropriate Grigi nality which characterises the genius of that profoundly scientific composer, and which harmonises so admi rably with the metaphysically romantic and ludierously terrific subjects, which, in the present instance, and that of Der Fr'eischutz, it is employed to introduce ; and when the rising of the curtain had gratified the eye with one of the most complete and beautiful ex hibitions of Alpine scenery ever presented on a theatre, two successive chorusses, which Mr. BISHOP had either caught or bcirrowei, put the audience in such perfect and confident good humour, as seemed to augur at once a career of triumphant success. It is but justice to add, that the music throughout may be regarded as among the happiest of Mr. BISHOP'S efforts ; and that the songs assigned to Miss STEPHENS, as Adine, in particular, are not only exceedingly beautiful, but admirably adapted to elicit the sweetest and most ex pressive tones of her clear, delicious voice. One of her songs, oh, sweetly the Noonday's ending, which she gave with a simple piano accompaniment, with the most exquisite taste and .weetness, was rapturously encored. Miss Povsy also eAecuted some songs very prettily.— Mr. WALLACK sustained the part of Faustus. His ap pearance in the - sober garb of a student was very pre possessing, and as the character is one of almost un mixed rant, he went through it with eclat. The arch fiend, MeAhistophiks, was represented by Mr. TERRY, withiexcellent effect. This is by far the best character in the piece. Mephistophiks is a very sarcastic devil— an utter enemy to declamation, he rarely ventures on mole than halt a dozen words, but these are always sufficiently cogent to convince his pupil. He doffs the traditional horns, and hoofs, and tail, and with much propriety takes the likeness of that species whom he wishes to tempt, and whom he describes to be almost as depraved as himself. Mr. HARLEY performed the part of Wagner, the famulus of Faustus. The scenery of this drama is beyond praise. The opening scene is one of the finest we have ever seen in any Theatre. It is a landscape, beautiful and picturesque in the highest degree. The view of the Rialto at Venice is also an excellent work of art. These scenes are the work of STANFIELD. ROBERTS also has several scenes of the highest merit. The machinery worked extremely well; the changes were effected with rapidity and precision, and the ingress and egress of illephistophiles and his spirits were ably managed. The piece was given out for repetition amidst shouts of applause, and there is no doubt of its having a long run. .o This morning, about three o'clock, a fire brake out in the house of Mr. DOCEHARD, bricklayer, Compton. street, Clerkenwell, which did a great deal of damage to the building ; but the prompt arrival of the en gines prevented its further progress. Wednesday last, Mr. GREEN, the aeronaut, made an excursion from Newcastle, being the 29th successful voyage which that Gentleman has performed. The Manchester Petition against the Catholic Eman cipation Bill to the House of Lords has arrived in town. It has 43,023 signatures attached to it. It measures 435 Feet, and weighs 231bs. Sunday last, a most awful visitation of thunder and lightning took place at Litchfield. About three o'clock ' in the afternoon, some vivid flashes stf lightning, attended with loud peals of thunder, appeared hovering over ed the town. As the family of 'l'. W. Gramm, Esq. of John-street, in that city, were sitting round the table, a most tremendous flash of lightning struck the south end of the house ; dividing the chimney, it took its course through the drawing-room, breaking a large mirror in its way, and passing through th: hearth-stone into the dining-room below, breaking all before it and bursting the chimney-piece from its place, melting the bell-wires, and doing other considerable damage. It is a remarkable circumstance, that though the energy of the electric fluid was displayed in the entire demo lition of every destructible article in the room, where the family to the number of eleven sat, that not a single individual was hurt except the servant, whose glass was broke in his hand, as he was pouring out om - water, part of which was dashed against his face. The fluid in making the circuit of the room, took off the , elbow of the chair on which the arm of Mr. GREENE was leaning, without doing him the sligh . est injury. An order was lately given at Alm •ck's, that no Gen tleman should appear with loose trowsers, except such as had bandy legs—the effect was procured. We re member a similar ruse, though on a more serious tub ject, which succrede I equally :—a Clergyman was re solved to induce his congregation to stand up d .ring the Psalms, which lie could tffect only, by giving out from the pulpit, that he should in future expect all to stand up except such as were in any way diseased! ENGLISH OPP,RA That choke erergreat of bartnony and good-humour, Climums MAritwws. repeated his excellent " Tripe" last evening, to fashionable and delighted audieUce.

This morning, the 53d Regimes& was reviewed on Chatham Lines, by Sir Haim , Toaaatts, in tits presence of a Yak assemblage of beauty and fashion, who were highly pleased with the precision of their maatruvres, and also the soldier-like appearance of the men. Sir Home was pleased to express his approbation at the high state of discipline of the Regiment. After the Review, Sir HENRY Tosses's, together with Sir Gums Cocasuan, and other Officers of distinction, paid airlift to the Dock yard, for the purpose of making some new arrangements as to the different Guards.

SPORTING IN TEL LIG Eil CE. BETTING-ROOM, TATTERSALL'S, TATTERSALL'S, MAY 1& Both the Boom and the Yard were crowded to excess by specu lators of every description, but the betting was not proportionate, the greater part of the business during a considerable part of the afternoon consisting in comparing of books. However, towards evening three or four of the leading betting men arrived, and the betting became exceedingly brisk.

SPARRING AT THE FIVES' COURT. White-headed Bob took his benefit yesterday. Among the novelties were the first public appearance of the Ex-Champion, Tom Spring, in London, since his departure for Hereford, and the re-appearance of West Country Dick, after a long retirement from public life. Spring did not set-to; but West Country Disk took the gloves in his turn, and &hewed that he had not forgotten the use of his f wes. White-headed Bob and Ben Burns closed the games, and there being a little grudge between them, each tried to have the best of it, and never was a point better contested. It was science against science, and strength against strength. Both bad their canisters shook; but, in the conclusion, the experience of Uncle Ben gem him the palm. New Marcnics.—The second deposit for the fights between Sampson and Jem Burns, and George Cooper and White-headed Bob, were made good last night. The West India Company Bill passed last night by a majority of 103 against 25. There were 81 places of worship in New York in 1823, which city contains about 130.000 persons. On the 2d of May there was a ♦iolent thunder-storm at Verviers. The lightning struck a house without setting it on fire, but killed the master of the house and his wife, patents of four children. The mother had the )oangest on her arm ; it fell on the ground without recciving any injury. The rolling of the thuhder was so clieadtul when the lightning struck, that a man at woi k on a roof, fell down from fright, and died soon aft:rw•ards in consequence of the fall.
