r . -,••• blockade, which is the scarecrow held up by the ene mies of Great Britain. Ot ders have been given to hasten the equipment of the little squadrrn fitting out at Cadiz, and the building of two frigates, which are on the stocks atFerrol ; orders have likewise been given to repair those vessels at Carthagena which can be made useful. Some money has already been sent to those ports, but not sufficient for the purpose, the Treasury not being able to find money for the expenses of the Palace, which it has been necessary to reduce considerably. . The organization of the Royal army is wholly para lyzed, either from want of money, or through want of influence: so that, for want of an armed force, those who have to pay taxes, and the robbers, are quite at their ease. In some cities the dregs of the people are armed, under the name of Royal Volunteer Militia; but the soldiers of this look like deserters in comparison with the late Constitutional Militia; and though they would never be ready or willing to fight, they will be willing enough to arrest and insult the Constitutionalists. The discharged Constitutional Officers and Serjeants are starving, and those of the Faith are not much better off. Money is always expected from France, but it never comes; and who v ill run tte risk of lending morel to the Government? This forenoon we received the Moniteur and Journal desDebats of Thursday, and the Etoik of yesterday, by Express. TEe Journal des Del'ats once more refutes the turnouts about French naval preparations, which had been revived in the Conaitutionnel of the preceding day The news ftom Greece is highly gratifying. The fol lowing are extracts: FHOH THP MONITEUR. PARIS, JANUARY 29. The German Journals, which we have received by an extraordinary conveyance, zre full of interesting de tails on the affairs of Greece. The Gireks made a sudden .descent on the village of Vou;11, where they found seven Turkish vessels, of which they took pos.ession. A part of the garrison of _ _ Corinth have laricl at Aponorne. The Greeks have occupied Corinth without resistance, with a body of .500 men. The Central Government of Greece is trans- terred to Argos, . The arrival of this news at Constantinople was the cause of the . 1411 of the late Ministry. Great events are about to take place in the East. Intelligence direct from Missolonghi, dated the ISth December, confirms the news that the blockade had been raised, and that the Turks had lost 3,000 men be- Pure the place, all their artillery and materiel. Mauro cordato, who had arrived, accompanied by Lord Byron, Colonel Stanhope, and Lieut.• Colonel de Launay, had taken from the gulf of Patras, two Turkish vessels, one of which bel'nged to the Commandant of Patras, Jus- suff Paclia, and bad on board 300,000 i 'astres. Omer Paella has retired to Janina, and it is said, he is shut up in a house by his own troops, because he has not paid them. AU the foreigners are to assemble at Missolonghi, under the command of Lord Byron. The Minister of Marine is about to establish under him a consulting Committee, whO will be charged with examining all projects relative to works in the ports — the construction and launching of ships of war, Stc• This Committee will be composed of Lieutenant-aenera! Thireon, Inspector-General of the Marine Artillery Vice-Admiral Baron Roussin, Chevalier tie Viella, Rol land, and Baron ',Lair, Inspectors-General of Naval Affairs; Sgauzin, Inspector• General of Hydraulics: Baron Cachin, who is charged with the direction of the works in the port of Cherbourg ; M. de la Moriniere, officer of the Engineers, is attached to the Committee in quality of Secretary. SRMLIN, JANUARY 7. Letters from Bitoglia, of the 24th of December, con tain interesting news for the Greeks. The Commander of that town, Omer Bey, who assisted at the siege of Missolonghi, with the Pacha of Scutari, had returned , and liberated the Greek prisoners, by the order of the Pacha of Salonichi. The Pacha of Scutari had re treated to Scutania, by the way of Janina, and had lost all his artillery. TRIESTE, JANUARY 13. A vessel, arrived from Syra in twenty-four hours, seems to confirm the report that the Schah of Persia had refused to ratify the treaty of peace concluded with t: - .e Porte, and his troops were again in motion. Accounts from Corfu state, that the Greeks had taken two vessels near Ithaca, and that discussions had taken f.P.r.e in consequence with the English Authorities there, %V :o contended that the Greeks, in pursuing their ene mies, had entered the limits of the British) soveteignty ; it is added that Maurocordato has given a satisfactory explanation on the subject. The Ottoman troops that have entered Moldavia have carried the plague with them, which ravages the en virons of Forzan and Jassy. The necessary measures have been taken along the coasts of Russia and Austria, and it is hoped tht winter will soon stop its progress. FRO:.I TIM JOURNAL DES DEBATS OF THURSDAY. PARIS, JANUARY 28. 'll.!e Opposition Journals yesterday took an alarm, and declared that the French troops were going to re-enter and that Baron d'Eroles was going to take pos. ussion of Barcelona; others stated that we were going in send ships and regiments from Brest, Rochfort, and Toulon. What can all these reports mean ? Is it at moment of the elections that the public spirit is to 4 abitated by reports of imaginary warfare ? But Clew manccuvres will not succeed—troops will not re nun to Spain, where none are wanted. Iu regard to the armaments in our ports, we repeat again, for the twen tieth time, that it is the invention of the Opposition.-- Twelv e hundred troops of the line, according to the kw system ' are going' to complete the garrisons of Goadaloupe and Martinique, and to replae the Colo nial battalions. If France should think fit to equip fleets and to embark soldiers on board, she ss ill not ask per mission nor make an excuse to any person.—The poor Opposition !—they are very sick. To-day, after Mass, the King presided at a Council of Ministers, which lasted from twelve o'clock till half past one. Prince Treaeriek Alexander Francois Constantine, third son of Guillaume of Vrurtemburg, died on the night of the 22d of January. *ROM THE ETOILE OF YESTERDAY. PERPIGNAN, JANUARY 29. The Constitutional troops which were in cantonments, in execution of the Treaty of the 2d of November, have been disbanded by Baron Eroles, from 'Tarragona to Barcelona ; the same operation will take place, under the orders of General Sarsfield, for the garrison of Hos• talrich, cantoned at St. Felice de Guizoles. The whole of the disbanding has been executed with the greatest order; their number exceeds 12,000 men. There does not remain any longer an army, as they have all re turned to their homes. The Royalist force for this province will he 15,000 men. Measures are taken to keep a good police in the several towns. INIADRII).

Ile was' yesterday very considerably recovered ; but, as we yes terday stated, his MAJESTY, conformably to the advice of his Physicians, will certainly not give personal at tendance at the opening of the Session of Parliament, on Tuesday next. To the numerous inquiries of ilsterday the following answer was given: " His Manny has had an excellent night, and is very much better to-day."—Friday, January 30. The Earl of LIVERPOOL, the LORD PRESIDENT, the LORD PRIVY SEAL, Mr. CANNING, and Mr. ROBINSON, left town this day to attend his MAJESTY at Brighton, and to hold a Council there preparatory to the opening of Parliament. This Jay the KING held a Privy Council, at his Palace at Brighton, to prick the Sheriffs for the present year. Yesterday, at two o'clock, the fifth Cabinet Council this week WAS held at the Foreign Office, which was attended by all the Cabinet Ministers except the Duke of Wr.s.t.nicren. The Council remained in deliberation till about half-past four. In addition to the French and Russian Ambassadors] who were at the grand party given by the CHANCELLOs of the Ra cascara" on Thursday evening, were the Earl and Countess of Liverpool. Mr. Mrs. and Miss Cann*, Mr. Wilmot Home, air. Huskisson, Lord Howard de Walden, Mr. Planta, &e. Mr. SIMEON. one of the Chancery Masters, has been contined fot some days by serious indisposition.

BURNS' ANNIVERSARY.—The Anniversarry of the Scottish Bard was celettrated on Thursday, by a dinner, at the Museum Tavern, Blackfriars-road. During the evening great variety of songs, recitations, and senti ments, were culled from his works, and given by' Northern Amateurs, with great effect. Mr. RAYNER, of Covent-garden Theatre, contributed his services on , the occasion, and kept the company in continued laughter. by the excellence of his comic singing ; he also produced a new song, written for the day, descrip use of the manners and habits of the eccentric Peet, which was received with enthusiasm. Letters from Pernambuco, dated the 14th ult, were received yesterday, by way of Havre. Intelligence of the recent events at Rio had arrived there, and had created great uneasiness. The remaining members of the Junta had resigned their situations, and a net election had taken place, which led to the appointment of the following individuals :—Manoel Carvalito deAn dride, as President; Senor Saldanha, recently arrived from Lisbon, as Secretary ; and Dr. Bernardo, with two Priests named M anis and Venancio, late Deputies to Rio, as Counsellors. Jose di Barros, who commanded the Pernambuco contingent at Bahia, and who hid recently arrived from thet.ce, had been appointed Com mander-in-Chief of the troops in Pernambuco. in this province the inhabitants were waiting with much anxiety the arrival of the next dispatches from Rio, with the intention, as the letters state, of declaring against the Emperor, should he either attempt to assume despo tic power, or to reunite the country with Portugal. The same sentiment was understood to exist in all the nor thern provinces of Brazil. The following extract of a letter from Dominica, dated Bth December, appears in a Morning Paper : « We are at present under the greatest alar.o in this island. in consequence of a strong presumption of in surrection. Something in the shape of a plot is beyond doubt on foot amongst the Negroes, who are impressed with the idea that at Christmas they are all to obtain their freedom. Examinations daily take place, and a Privy Council has just been called by the Governor on the occasion. The Assembly sent a Message to his Excellency yesterday, on the apprehension which they entertain of the state of tlie . colony : arms are to be is sued immediately, and it is sopposeJ that martial law will be proclaimed.

MANNING. The Court was unusually crowded this day, under the idea that the LORD CHANCELLOR would have gi ctn judgment in the above cause. On taking his seat, the LORD CHANCELLOR expressed a doubt as to whether it world not Ix necessary that Mr. Harris should be served. Mr. HART said several attempts had been made to 'serve that gentleman, but they had all proved abortive. Mr. HEALD said, Mr. Harris might appear without being served, but for some reason the other side would not do so The LORD CHANCELLOR.—WiII you tell me where be is to be found ? Mr. CONST said he had seen Mr. IhirrFs, whn had no wish to appear, but if he was wanted he mild very .. . easily be found. In fact, he had not instructed Coun . sel, nor did he mean to do so. Mr. HEALD.—We do not appear here for Mr. Harris,. but for the Lessees, and it is consideicd that their inte rest will be affected by his appe.trance. The LORD CHANCELLOR. If Mr. Harris is in Court, and will tell me that lie does appear, that will do. Mr. HART complained that the judgment had been delayed, on,account of Mr. Harris not being served, and expressed a hope that no farther delay would take place, and judgment was postponed until Wedneiday. CONSISTORY COURT, JANUARY 30. WILDEY S 7. WILDEY. Dr. LUSHINGTON stated that this was a cause r•.f se paration and divorce promoted by William Wildey, Esq. against Hannah Augusta Wildey, his wife, by reason of her adultery. The marriage between the parties was pleaded to have taken place the month of April, 1814, and the parties lived and col abited to gether, without interruption for any considerable length of time, until the month of October, 1821. Captain Wildey had formerly been in the army: but he had te _ tired from it for a tine, and subsequently re-entered the :egiment of foot (the 19th) to which he had before been attached as paymaster. In October, 1821, :his regi ment, which was then stationed at Weeding, in North amptonshire, received orders to proceed to Ireland with all possible dispatch. Captain Wildey was under the necessity of accompanying it, and from the evidence of Webb, a female servant, and other s, it appeared that the last time the Captain and his Lady were living together, before his departure, was on the 21st of October, 1821, in the Alpha-cottages. Captain Wildey remained in Ireland until the month of May, 1822; and this would he proved by those who were resident with him in that country. Similar testimony would establish the fact of Mrs. Wildey's continued residence in London during the interval, and consequently no interview could have tlken place in the time between the two parties. In May, 1822,. Captain Wildey returned, and found that Mts. Wildey had quitted his house, and was residing with her mother in Upper Baker-street, Marrla-bonne. In the month of September following, a difference of a serious nature took place between them, some suspicion i having been excite( in his mind that Mrs. Wildey had not conducted herself with propriety. They continued to reside in the same house; but no farther intercourse took place between them, nor had taken place from the middle of July preceding. On the Ist of September, Mr. Wildey went down into Northam_ptonshire to shoot, and returned on the sth. On the sth M. Hallett, of Spring gardens, army agent, having accidentally seen 11rs. Wildey that day, congratulated the Captain on the ap proaching increase of his family. Captain Wildey te! tified entire incredulity and astonishment on this point; but upon the representations of Mr. Hallett, he resolved to watch her more narrowly, and consulted with his so ilicitor and friends what course it would be most ad visable for him to take. They recommended him to watch her, which he accordingly did, and 9n the even ing of the 9th of September, she was observed to leave 'her mother's house, in company with her brother. They proceeded into Quebec-street and called a coach; but indiri that they were observed, they dismissed the coach, and returned to the house. In the evening, how ever, Mrs. Wildey managed effectually to elope f tom her husband, for whom she left the folios., ing note : " Wildey,—As you told me some time ago that we had better part, I take this opportunity of doing so. You, no doubt, will not be sorry for it. Take care, I entreat you, of my child. It is fond of you. Don't leay.: it much to the care of servant.» You need npt fear of my running bills in your name, when I have, left you. ' With prayers for your 's and my child's happiness, I remain your truly unhappy wife, " 11. A. WILDEY. " Nobody knows of my leaving you, but your going so soon out of town is the cause." The Learned Counsel then continued, that there was evidence in the cause to shew that Mrs. Wildey, on the 15th of September, under a feigned nell/le, and at lodg ings in Sloane -street, was delivered of a full grown fe male child. The evidence having been read : and the a•guments of Counsel on both, sides Leard, Sir CirmisTortrEo ROBINSON said he would Like time to compare the evidence and arguments of CDuirsd, and I give his judgment on a future da:. w On Wednesday last Rowtat ND STEP►tENSON, Esq. was unanimously elected T►e.tsurer of St. liaru►olomew's Hospital. It has been erroneously stated in most of the papers, that the late Bishop of LITCHFIELD was to h ave b een buried on Thursday last ; instead of which he will be buried this day in Litchfield Cathedral. It was also stated . that Mr. SMITH, of John-street, Oxford -street, had the management and conduct of the funeral ; whereas Mr. Norms, of Richmond, had the entire con tt oul of it. Thursday morning, at an early hour, the body of a man unknown was found lying dead and cold, with his head on the step of a garden-gate, at the bottom of Stone mason's-buildings, Great Tich field-srreet,Nary-la- bonne. His clothes were all wet and dirty, as if he had been in the water ; he had only two-pence halfpenny in his pockets, but no papers to lead to a discovery who he was. He appealed a middle-aged rnari, and shabbily.diessed. Thursday, as Corporal Sprightly, belonging to the Staff of the West Kent Militia,, was felling a lofty elm near 'the mansion at Loose Court, and had ascended to nearly the top of the tree to fix the head rope, the hill'', on which he was standing broke off and precipitated him to the ground, a distance between seventy and eighty feet, and was killed instantaneously. t • Wednesday morning, about five o!cluck, while the driver of the mail coach was gone into the.
