The Goveinm at is informed cf Vie entrance and progress of the Russians in the territory of the Empire, and seems to er.ttitain much fear for 'the tranquillity of the capital, the population of which does not yet know the danger which threatens them. It is certain that they no longer show any warlike seotimenti ; and that in case of the approach of the enemy; they would rather turn Against their own superiors. The Sultan, notwith standing his energy, has probably not sufficient means to cisme the tranquillity of the capital, in case he should be obliged to leave it to take the field. He ap pears to be sensible of this; and though he has declared that after having seen with indifference the occupation of the Principalities, be would mount his hone, and, followed by the whole nation, go and offer battle to'the enemy if they cross the Danube. it is certain that Oere is as little appearance of his deParture as that of the land Vizier, aid of the heisting of tlli jraad stand ard. The troops sent to the army march in small di-' eitions of twelve or fifteen hundred men. after having been renewed by the Sultan, and are quickly sent towards Adrianople, there it is said that Hussein Pa cha has not above 15,000 men ender his command. BUCHAREST. Jinx 1. All the accounts from the Russian army agree that all the places and puns along the Black Sea will soon be taken, and that the supply of the army will thus be secured. Nevertheless, as the army approaches the chain of mountains, the operations mutt be computed to be more slow. The corps of General Roth has passed the Danube to Hirsova, of which the Russians are masters, and will join the grand army, with which it will act against Scbumla. The reserve, under General Witt, is advancing in Wallachia, and will, in a few days, take up the position left by General Roth. The garrison of Brailow, apprehending the fate which may await it at Salmis, had asked to remain prisoners of war among the Russians ; but the Russian Com mander who accompanied them, did net think himself . autheriied to grant their request. All that has been re ported in foreign countries of extraordinary contribu tions in the Principalities, is entirely false. PARIS. Jam , 20. Lord Stuart. the Ambassador from his Britannic Majesty to the Court of France, arrived at Paris last night. Letters from Bayonne of the 13th July say, " the Marquis de Chaves left this city the day before yesterday, to return to Portugal. His passport., how. ever, were given him only to Madrid, where he will, doubtless. End others." The Augsburg Gazette says, that it is ascertained that General Paskewitsth has already made himself matter of Btjesid, Kars, and Ackalsicke, in Asiatic Turkey. If4tract of a letter from Sierra Leone, received to• dal', brought by the Huskisson to Portsmouth. and dated May 28th —" The last dry season has been much pore healthy than any remembered by the oldest colo nist. and it is the universal opinion that the climate is rapidly improving, owing no doubt to the increasing cultivation of the county y, when we formerly had nothing is view but a continued mass of bosh and wood. We have now small plantations, and there is little reason to doubt, that if proper measures were taken on the part of the Government, this place might in a short time vie with many of our West India Colonies." In the Superior Court of Brussels, the Archbishop of Malacca and the Dean of Wavre were recently acquitted in an action brought against them for calumnious insi nuations on the character of a poor woman of the name ofhticheire. This case had been brought up from the Court of Nivelles, on the apßeal of the defendants. It ,appeared that an old Priest had resided in the house of the, complainant for several years. and the Dean had for ,bidden him to continue to live there, without assigning any reason, but in such a manner as to injure the ch... racier of tie poor woman to such a degree that no one would hold any communication with her in her village., She applied to the Archbiahlip, and he refused to listen to bet ; she in consequence brought her complaint • Against.botb belorethe Court of Nivelles, which gave a 'ertilict in hcr favour, with 6 QUO florins damages. The defendants appealed from this. and stated that the Tri bunals wets incompetent to decide in ecclesiastical al kairs. This was assented by the. Court of Appeal at Bross*, and the esamplaioant was sentenced tp ask Pardon of the Archbishop and Dean, and to pay the , costs of this proceedings. It may be interesting to our Readers to be inforMed, that Admiral Greig, of whom honourable mention is made itt the Russian Bulletin, which we published on Monday, received his first knowledge of naval tactics in the British Navy, in the Mediterranean, when a very young Officer in the Russian Navy. Doing the reign of Paul, Greig, like many other worthy men, fell under hi, displeasure, and was ordered into the interior under mi veillance, because he offered his resignation when the infatuation of Paul led him to a breach with England ; and young Greig, from a high sense of honour, and gratitude to the country of his forefathers, and to the attention received in the British Service, preferred offering to resign his rank (then Captain in the Russian Navy) than to serve against Britain. He is said to be the perfect model of his father—brave, considerate, entirely void of ostentation, and disinterested. His age, we believe, is about 58. He had the happiness of being In high faireur with the late Emperor Alexander. Like ,his father, the late Admiral Greig, his ambition lies in performing his ditties, mid the lose of lucre he consi. doss beneath his notice. le this be resembles ear ten. ;Mortal Nelson, and in another trait the resemblance [between their characters is trtarkedi as was also the case with hi, father, perfect co loess in action, and adored by persons serving tinier him. Greig, when a youth, ieceived his education at the High School of Edinburgh. The tether r f Admiral Greig was born at Inverkeith. 'lag, North nein, eoteied into she British Nave,. and attained rank of Lit utenant ; was actively employed in 176.1 at the siege of Havannah. The Empress Ca therine wished some British Officers to enter her service, and amongst them were two Lieutenants from the same place, and connected by relationship, Greig and Rox burgh, the latter died an Admiral. In the war in which Catherinp shoitly after became engaged against the Turks, a fleet was sent to the Mediterranean. The nominal command was bestowed on her frvotirile,Count Alexis Orloff, but he not being experienced in naval matters, had the judgment, in a great measure, to trust Greig, and other British Officers, under whose direc tion the planning and destruction of' the Turkish fleet was accomplished, in the Bay of Tchesma. (The present Admiral Greig is named Alexis Orloff, after the friend of his father). Admiral Samuel Greig was promoted to *nations of the greatest trust and importance by the Empress Catherine,was Governor of Cronstadt, and after *5 success against the Swedish fleet, be was taken du gerously ill, but could not be prevailed upon to enter port. He was then blockading the Swedish fleet. At last the Officer next in command ordered the Admiral's ship into Revel. The Empress, on learning his danger ons state, immediately ordered her own body physician from Petersburigh, Dr. Rogerson, to attend Greig, but all availed nothing ; he died, in a great measure, a mar ,tyr to his duty, and his Spvereign caused a handioine marble monument to be erected to his memory, in Revel Church, where his remains ate deposited. mommsmememe STATE PAPERS.—SLAVE TRADE. •••+1■••••. The following are extracts from two VOIOOIiOOII2 sets of Papers, that have just been submitted, pursuant to Sessional custom, before both Houses of Parliament, as to the progress made to suppress the Slave Trade of Foreign Powers. MR. BECItZTART CANNING TO TISCOMIT ORANTILLII. Foreign Ogee, Fib. sit, ism MT Loan—The accompanying copy of a communi cation, from the Admiralty gives an account of the Slave Trade now openly carried- on upon the Western Coast of Africa under the French flag. It there appears that 11 French vessels, having on board 2,577 slaves, have been suet with by the squadron under Commodore Buffett on die coast above mentioned, between the 3d day of August and the 23d day of November, 1826, com prising a period of little more than three months. The tact of the many gross instances if French Slave Trade thus met with in so short a period of time, and within so narrow a space, corroborates the statement of Capt. Ulm, that the flag of France now absorbs nearly the whole of this disgraceful traffic. The Captains of these French traders, it appears, as if sec • nre of indemnity under the cover of their flag, do not scruple openly to avow their undertakings. Surely if the Government of his Most Christian Ma jesty continue to have at bean, as they have so often declared, the rutting down of this nefarious traffic, they will not omit this opportunity of proving the sincerity of their professions, by institutiag the most severe in quit y into the transactions, by inflicting due and public punishment upon the offenders, atc.

Being completed on the 28th, I weighed in chase of the French schooner Le Daniel, with 200 slaves. This Wang was in a most horrid crowded state, her slave• dielaseing only two feet five inches in height, and, ilthotigh only too days out from the Old Calnbar, was very sickly. The dating miscreant refused to heave -to, atheist,: my colours were flying, until my shot fell a considerable distance over him. He had also the audacity, four days afterwards, to stand into West Bay, Pances Island, where I was lying with two of the squadroi, wooding and watering. I again dispatched a boat out to board him, and found that the night I first inter. cepted him off the river Cameron, in consequence of the heavy rain which commenced shortly after I brought him to, the slaves quanelled among themselves, re. garding the right of precedence of those below to get on deck for fresh air, and those who had already the possession of it, when, shocking to relate, .19 fell victims. The North Star shortly after this boarded the Victor, with 497 slaves from the Bonny, in a very crowded, sickly state, and, although but out a few days, twenty hid died, and two mote were expected that. evening ; on the 2d, sth, and 15th instant, L'Heniter with 20$. L'Henriette with 427, and La Feltcie with 848 slaves. were successively boarded; the latter, upon Lieutenant Tucker's arriving on board anti requesting the pattecu 7 lars of her cargo, the. Master assisted him he bad nothing in bat palm oil, ivory, Btc. and bound csk.Alobille; but, upon my Lieutenant looking into• her hold. and per. miring the slaves he smiled, and calmly Vtld him he bad $4B on board, was out two days from Rimeti Gabon, and thitt his vessel was in such a leaky celedition as scarcely able to be kept free.

It is no strained inference, that, vs th our language, the natives of India will acquire some *so von. of our liberality of *nutmeat. It is im possible that Hindoo theology should stand against the ' knowledge vs be derived Isom the_ classic literature of Europe: The salsilintian of the prises to the similitatoof the Hindoo. or Anglo-Indian College, on Saturday lat, at the Government Howse, constituted a ceremony cif sin gular novelty and interest," and one, of which feW of those who witnessed it for the fi rs t tim e had finned, we imagine, - aay accurate conception or anticipation., English education, amongst the inhabitants r f Bawl, bas hitherto had little more than the mere language for its object ; a sufficient command of which, for conductiag the details of official duty, comprehended the utmost ambition of native students. The Hinders College is intended to compass something more t to teach Ben galee youth to read and relish .English literature ; to store their minds with the facts of histotyTand science. •snd to enable them to express just anclusiond in a clear and polished style, founded upon a comprehensive view. of the consti . u- ion of 40C iety and the phenomena of nature. The presentation of the prizes was held at the Go vernment House, we understand, in consequence nt 'Lord Amherst having expressed a wish to witness , their uistribution. The pupils, amounting to 400. under the charge of the teachers of the respective classet, were tonged on benches along the centre of nearly two4tirsis cf me State apartment, usually appropiiated as the ball jlis Loci:hip. with the Committee t f Educa. lion dad Managing eammittee on his right, and the Countess and Lady Sarah, Mrs. W. B. Bayley, Mil, Hayes, Mrs. Cowell, Mrs. Chester, and a number or other Ladies on his left. was seated opposite the pupils. A great concourse of spectators, bt,th Native and European, lined the sides of the apartment, pressing rather inconveniently upon those in the centre. The bays in each class, to wham prises were adjudged,wece severally called up; and the prizes, consisting of books and philosophical instruments, suited to their age and prows'. were presented to them by th e H onoura bl e W. Wayliv as Presidento4 the, General Comiisiteee orPlaitlre tostruction. The two Senior Classes were called up collectively, and his Lordship did them the honour to present their rewards to them personally. A few questions were put to them by the Visitor, on Grecian, Roman, and English History, and Chrosto. logy, Geography, and Physical Sciences, to which they returned prompt and accurate replies. After the distribotion of the rewards, a series of Re. citations ensued. Nothing, we think. could be more gratifying to those who desire the extension of human knowledge, and the diffusion of European science and learning among the native subjects of this great Empire, than the wonder ful progress which was displayed on the present occa• *ion. As we before observed, the mere language of the English has been hitherto their principal, it n t exclu sive object; but now, in these scenes, the habits and manners of Europeans become to them matter of fa miliar study and acquirement. This is a grand step towards enlarging the sphere ot their understandiste.ind freeing them times the spell of prejudice, which has so long bound them to their primeval notions and customs. The recitations were, indeed, surprising, whether we consider the youth of the speakers, or the propriety and effect with which the speeches were delivered. The dialogue between Alexander and the Thracian Robber was recited by two little bays with very good success; and' Os.ias's Address to the Sun received much applause. But Colman's eccentric Tsle. entitled tr e Newcasi le Apothecary, seemed to us a most brilliant effort of comic humour. Hurihara Mukherji, the reciter, is only about twelve years old, yet his recitation was remarkably appropriate. The foilowing is one of Vie productions of a Hindoo boy, named Hurce Chunuer °hos:— composed, it is said, without say assistance whatever: BRNARE& ileeares, hail ! tbdu pride of Hindoestan I Where first the Muses strung sweet wreaths far matt. The earth was waste, and dark as darkest mine; Thou wert the desert Sower, and thou the gold divine, Where once the glorious wild poetic hr., Thine ancient Bra nun's bosom did inspire. The light of science burst upon their mind; But to that light, alas ! their sons are blind. As roses fade, but thorns are left behind, Thy fame so lost, an empty name we find. When Boreal comes, with his destructive power, The Auks and lowers wither of the bower; The trees are naked, but erect they stand, No bird haunts here, nor waters any baud— Se thou wait once the mightiest place of yore, And once the golden fruit of bes , en thou bore. But cured be the Western chilly blast, Which shook thee often from proud Genet fast. The power's no more, fast fading is tby fame, Thy grandeur sunk, and lost thy mighty name. Yet soothing Hope comes whispering in my ears, Hope that wipes often Misery's salt tears. " Despair not, thus she gently says, again " Shall science flourish, truth resume bar reign. " &nee generous Bilious have been kind to you, " And rated the seats of science here anew, "No r t Mats, for prosp'rous gales shall blow 46 AntgAitt the stream of Poetry shall Aow 1" Huai' Commis Goma, &wood Om.
