The lettrrs from the camp of General Church again speak of the capture of Anatolico, and of the hope of the speedy surrender of Missolonghi. A convoy of twenty sail, with ammunition and pro visiints, bound from Alexandria to Candia, was over taken by a storm near Damitte, and most of the ships sunk, with their crews. Letters from Alexandria, of 21st Feb. say, that in cons equence of the decrease of piracy in the Levant trade was beginning to revive, and several convoys were r eady to sail to different ports in the Mediterranean, e specially Leghorn and Marseilles.—Nuremburg Cor te:pendent, April 8. We have also received the Algemeine Zeitun,g to the 10th instant. The intelligence it contains from Trieste is rendered of less importance by the preceding ac counts from the other German Papers. • TRIESTE, .111Asca 31. Our accounts from the Archipelago are to the 24th February. It appears that Count Capo d'lstria was engaged alstit that time on an important military operation, which would require the whole military and naval force of Greece, and that orders had been sent to all the mili tary Commanders to act for the execution of a common plan. A corps of 1,800 infantry is said to be assembled near Napoli; a corps of 4,000 infantry near Frcezene, and a third, of troop* of all descriptions, near Corinth, and all are employed in preparations for future opera tions. Similar orders are said to have been sent to General Church, who is still in his old position near Dragomestre. Count Capo d'lstria embarked on the 18th • -Feb. on board the Warspite for Ppros. All the foreign and Greek ships which were in the harbour of Egina accompanied the Count. A new life appears to animate the whole population of Greece, and the dangerous spirit of insubordination appears to have left the troops, since the President takes care that they receive their pay punctually, and even distributes presents on every occasion when they perform any thing remarkable. Among the Arabs and Turks, on the contrary, all dis cipline has vanished, to which the battle of Navarin and the distress which the troops suffer have chiefly contri- bused. Whole bands of Turkish marauders are said now to be net with in the Morea, who traverse the country in search of plunder, under leaders of their own choosing. The Turkish fortresses are likewise in the greatest want of provisions, and the districts in which the Turkish troops are, suffer much from want of pro visions. It is therefore believed that Ibrahim will at length resoli . e to leave the Morea. It is said that he has lately been advi . sed to embark as soon as he can, if he thinks to lead the troops under his command with honour out of the field.—Algemeine Zeitung, April 9. By the Mail from Buenos Ayres and the Brazils, we have received the Correo of Buenos Apes to the 29th January, and the Diario Fluminense to the 17th Feb. Their contents possess very little interest. The war wi.s still confirming, but in a very languid state. The following are esti acts : RIO DE JANEIRO, FiIIRCAILT 16. 1. The General Mansilla privateer, on its return to Buries Ayres, was chased by our ships, which obliged it to ran aground on the coast between Barragan and Buenos Ayres, and set it on fire. 2. The Federal Argentino privateer, coming out of Buenos Apes, having already escaped the vigilance of our vessels off that port, was, however, seen and chased by o:hers that were cruizing lower down, pursued till it ran aground, and was also burnt. 3. In the night of the 26th January Brown came out of Buenos Ayres with four of his best ships, and meet ing with only three of our vessels, he was forced, after an action of an hour and a quarter, to retreat to his old place of refuge. Our loss was two sailors killed and some wounded, among whom was the Commander of the Maranham. This is the summary of the dispatches brought by the packet.—Uierio Fluminense, Feb. 16. BUENOS AYRES, JAN. 7. We are sorry to announce, that a few days ago only the Deputies of Buenos Ayres and of Cordoba had as sembled at Santa Fe, the place appointed for the conven• tion. This delay in the meeting of that august Body is Undoubtedly very prejudicial to the general interest. JANUARY 9.—A letter from Cerao Larga, in the Banda Oriental, of 27th Dec. says, General Lavalleja arrived here four (Lys ago. The army is content, and there is no desertion. The General has addressed a Proclamation to the troops, and I understand that we :ball soon march. The enemy's force increases daily. ♦ll the Germans desert in bodies ; the last party that came over to us consisted of ten. The activity and zeal of our Government have filled us with confidence. he. 22. The General in Chief of the Army of Ope• rations, by a Note of the 12th inst. states, that as he was on the point of marching with the cavalry to surprise smite encampments of the enemy, the latter had made a general and precipitous retreat, abandoning even the fortress Cerrito, directing their march to the Cama cuceses. In consequence, .a part of our cavalry wa. marching to take a position on the Yaguason, which is more favourable for attacking the enemy. Our boats had taken three vessels richly laden.— Como of Buenos Ayres, to January 28. " The Laws concerning Corn,* says ADAM SMITH, " may everywhere be compared to the laws concerning religion. The people feel themselves so interested in •hat relates either to their subsistence in this life, or their happiness in the life to come, that Government must yield to their prejudices, and in order to preserve the Public tranquillity, establish that system which they aliPeove of." This accounts very well for the compro mise which our Government has been obliged to make between the clashing cries for and against a system of prohibitory Cora Laws. For, met was there a question more completely overshadowed by misrepresent*ons and fallacies, than this has been by the advocates of restriction. Take, for example, a statement gravely maintained in the last number of a leading Review— that the agricultural labourers would not benefit by a free importation, because the money price of Corn being thereby lowered, the wages of labour would be reduced in proportion. Now this is as much as to contend, that the value of labour—unlike all other commodities—is not dependent on the rule of supply and demand. If the number pf labourers were suddenly increased, while the quantity of corn remained the same, a smaller share would, of course, fall to each workman. And the re verse must take place, if the supply of Corn were to be increased while the labour continued the same. The circumstance of the money-wages being reduced is, therefore, perfectly immaterial; for when a man can earn two coombs of wheat instead of one, as his just reward, it makes no difference to him whether the money price of that wheat be twenty shillings or forty shillings; all he has to look to is, to exchange his labour for com modities, or an equivalent in money. Is it not then a monstrous absurdity to say, that the general body of labourers would not derive advantage from the bless ins of plenty, because the currency may have changed its value ? We are among those who believe the term 41 TALUZ " to be merely relative, depending on supply and demand, and we wish certain Honourable Genii.- men would say less, in debating this topic, about the circulating medium, and more upon th• question at issue, viz. the expediency of the Importation of Ccrn. Prince ESTERHAZY, the Austrian Ambassador, via' engaged for upwards of an hour yesterday, at the Foreign Office, Downing-street, transacting business with the Earl of Duossr. His Excellency bad afterwards a conference with the Duke of Wu- LINGTON. _ Count D'OTALIA, the Spanish Minister (on a special mission), transacted business with the Earl of DUDLEY, yesterday ) at the Office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The Earl of DUDLEY had an interview yesterday with the Duke of WELLINGTON. The Duke of PORTLAND visited Mr. Hoaxlsson yes terday, at his residence in Downing•street. Earl BATHURST arrived in town yesterday, from the seat of Lady de Roos, Boyle Farm, Kingston. The Duchesss of GLOUCESTER ♦isited his MAJESTY yesterday, at his Palace in St. James's. The Duke of CUMBERLAND is shortly expected to arrive in England from the Continent. His Royal Highness will bring with him to this country his eldest son, Prince Getman of Cumberland. The Princess AUGUSTA, attended by Lady MART TAYLOII, arrived at her residence in the King's Palace, St. James's, about one o'clock yesterday afternoon. from the seat of the Duke and Duchess of CIARINCK, as Bushy Park. Prince LEOPOLD and the Duchess of KENT, attended by the Baroness de Staler+, and Sir James Comm, honoured the performance of Mademoiselle &mac in the opera of II Barbiere al Seviglia," at the Italian Opera House, with their presence, yes terday evening. The advices from Constantinople to the 19th ultimo state, that the great st tranquillity reigned there, and many strangers, among others Lord PRUDHOE and M. Louis GARNERAY, had gone from Pera to visit the capital; and the SULTAN had ordered that all the re markable buildings should be shewn them. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial Office, from Lieutenant General DARLING, at New South Wales. American Papers to the 20th ult, arrived yesterday. They do not bring us any news that can be considered politically important, and contain no intelligence from Colombia or Mexico. An account of the National Debt of the United States has been laid before the Home of Representatives, by Mr. RUSH, from which it appears, that the whole is expected to be liquidated in 1 15, by an annual grant for that purpose of ten mil. lions of dollars. The parishioners of St. Paul, Covent garden, have laid a cue before Counsel, whether Mr. Rocs's. the ex-vestry clerk. can legally demand a scrutiny of the late election? The Learned Gentleman to whom the case has been submitted has given it as his opinion, that a scrutiny cannot be demanded. Yesterday se'nnight, about 50 Spanish sheep were conveyed through Lewes in a waggon, on their way to some seaport eastward, icr exportation to New Synth Wales. - The sheep in every part of the upper district of Peeblesshire are in better condition than they have ever been seen. This is the natural consequence of the mild winter, and cannot fail to produce a favourable influence on the lambing season ; and young lambs are frisking within the sheltered enclosures in the upper ward of Lana: kshire, and even on the hills a few have made their appearance.--$ cotantan. A party returning from the Fair of Carrigaline, near Cork, on Monday se'nnight, about eleven o'clock, had arrived within twenty yards of the beach, when the boat in which they were, unfortunately upset, precipitating twelve persons into the water, fir e of whom sunk to rise no more. Two of the sufferers had been married only six weeks, and two others were on the eve of being unitei. About six o'clock on Friday evening a fire was dis covered. in the stable of Mr. Lamb, of Newcastle, by the boy, who had done the horses all up that day with new straw, and had left them about half an hour : he had then used a candle, and it seems that sotnething had fallen from it which had ignited the straw, after his leaving tl.e stable. The alarm being given, be opened the door of the stable, and his attention was directed to a mare (Maria, by North Star, dam by Go barna, which was entered for the great handicap gold cup at Liverpool): he found her enveloped in flames, and plunging in a dreadful manner ; this, with the door closing upon him, prevented him from extricating her. He ran for assistance; but, in the mean time, she was literally roasted alive. Two hacks were also dreadfully scorched. By the prompt exertions of the neighbours, wi.h buckets, &c. the fire, which was principally con fined to the mare's box, where it had originated, and the beJding of the two hacks, was quickly got under : and, by the time the engines got to work, all further danger had disappeared. It is with extrema regret we have to announce the death of CHARLES STABLE, Esq. one of the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, which took place yesterday afternoon, at half-past four o'clock, at his house in Bedford street. Bedford•square. He was seized with , apoplexy on Friday morning, just as he was about to leave his home to attend his duties at the Old Bailey. Mr. STABLE was happy in an amiable disposition, and •irtues which endeared him in private lilt. Long and severe will be the grief of his family and friends. According to an Account presenteJ, pursuant to order, to the House of Commons, of Foreign Spit its imported for home consumption, in the year ended the .sth January, 1828, the number of imperial gallons were— Rum, 3,288,606 ; Brandy, Geneva, *c. 1,375,156 ; making a total of 4,66l,762gallons t ioclocling over proof. SURREY DISPENSARY. The ftiends of this Institution celebrated their Anni versary yesterday at the City of London Tavern. Pm). a A NCR Youwo, Esq. the treasurer (in the absence of Lord Viscount M I DDLIITON, the President), in the Chair. The object of this Institution, which has been established upwards of half a century, is to administer advice and medicines to the poor intiabitints of the Borough of Southwark and places adjacent, at the Dispensary, or at their own habitations. It appears that since the establishment of the Charity upwards of 154,000 patients have been admitted, of whom 130,749 have been cured, and 13,656 relieved. It was stated by Dr. Whiting, one of the medical men, that the number of depths has decreased during the past year, there having been only one in one hundred, whereas formerly the proportion was one to 30. This he attributed to the imprbved state of medical science, which was diffusing its benefits not only upon the objects of this institution, but upon the country at large. Mr. Young, the venerable Treasurer, who was among the projectors of the Institution in the year 1777, in returning the conk pany thanks for drinking his health, which they did with great enthusiasm, eulogized the object of the amity. and enlarged upon its great and increasing utility. He hoped that every friend to the invalid poor woulJ sup port it. In the course of the evening numerous sub- scriptions and donations were announced, amounting altogether to between 5001. and 4001.

His ALLIRSTY has commanded an assurance to be given to the members of the several corps thus dissolved, that he is deeply sensible of the zeal and patriotism uniformly displayed by these highly respectable bodies, from the time of their services being first called into action under the preasure of the war, down to the present moment, when ever their services have been required. The'Oldham TVonp has been on active duty for eleven years, during which period its ser vices have frequently been required in aid of the civil power in times of disturbante. The late Officers have continued in command during the whole time; and the general good conduct of the Officers and privates, and their prompt discharge of every duty, have pro. cured them. we understand, the unqualified approbation of each succeeding Inspecting Officer, front the first enrolment of the corps. ARRIVAL OF THE GUARDS FROM PORTUGAL The battalions of the Grenadier and 3d Regiment of Guards, upon service in Lisbon, arrived yesterday in London. The Light ning and Meteor steamers took the troops on board in the Downs, and sailed from Sheerness with the morning tide, having in tow the tenders, with the ammunition, baggage, stores, &c. About three o'clock tics smiciteig 13eititii,cp to, the moorings at the Tower Wharf, and ttAir:liiiiital IMO received with loud cheers by many an expectant group 'upon the shore. Part of the lst Regiment landed at Deptford, from whence they marched to the Knightsbridge Barracks. The Guards landed at four o'clock, under the superintendence of their officers—the landing had a very interesting appearance. The men were brought ashram in lighters, in divisions of one hundred men, and after forming in companies, marched into their quarters in the Tower. These troops were generally surrounded by their wives and children, who it wall be remembered, were not allowed to accompany them on the expedition to Portugal, and the scenes of meetings, after such a long absence, so suddenly caused, may he better imagined than described. The artillery and waggon train land at Woalwich ; the cavalry at Plymouth, Portsmouth, and Chatham; and the. Light Infantry at various places upon the general route, to their usual de pots. The men looked well and healthy ;as may be supposed, their countenances betrayed " the shadowy livery of the burnished sun."

Last night their rather, mother, and younger brother, took their farewel: of the unhappy men. John Keogh, who was an extremely active, well. looking, and large man, declined considerably within the last three days. Patrick sustained his Condition with more nerve and firmness. An immense assem blage of the country population was in town this morn ing to witness the execution. At tw"lve o'clock a party of the Scots Greys, Horse Police, and Infantry, sur rounded the front of the prison. When the eircurioner had tied the unhappy men in the prison, the sub-Sheriff, Mr. Duckett, addressed John Keogh, asking him I r if ,he had anything to say or communicate as his last words ?" He replied," No, Sir,. but I forgive all. my enemies and die I hope in peace with the wll-:1e world.' The other man made a similar answer. They then came on the scaffold, attended by two Roman Catholic Clergymen. John, although in appearance a powerful man, was hardly able to walk. His brother was ap parently in a condition of greater firmness. Both pri soners addressed the multitude, brit-fly declaring their forgiveness of their prosecutors, and tecptesting the prayers of all around in their last moments, but neither expressed a word to their guilt orl nnocence of the crime for which they'vr ere about to suffer. The caps and ropes being adjusted, the drop fell, and after a little struggling, both the unhappy man expired. When the bodies had hung the usual time, they were lowered into the coffins prepared by the sub• Sheriffs, and interred in the gaol yard. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SPARRING Betignr.—The veteran Bitton took his benefit at the Tennis court, yesterday. The elements were against him, but not withstanding he had a fair sprinkling of the Fancy' The attendance of the Pugilistic Corps was, as usual, thin; but some of the good ants did not forget their old friend, and Jem Ward, Min Burn, Alick Reed, Harry Jones, and old Jack Seroggins were at their post, and with a lung list of Commoners, afforded cedsiderable amusement. Ilarry Jones said he was ready to Make a match with Dick Curds, for £5O a-aide, whirls was , the nupt he c ou ld ra k e; b ut if any Gentleman wou ld **Mg NM with another hfty, as Curtis had announced be would not light for less than £lOO, there was no mao whom he more de‘ired to meet.

GRAND SPARRIN TREAT AT DIRMINOHAM, ON DAY LAST, FOR 7HZ OP PHIL ski* nom, I, HARRY HOTS, DWI CORM, AND OLIVCIM Since the triumph of the Wools, curiosity has been on the tiptoe in this town, it having been announced that Phil and his brave allies, Harry Holt, Dick Curtis, and others, would take a " Ben" at ?cluster Beardsworth's Repository, that Gentleman having kindly permitted the exhibition to take place in his elegant, and not to be surpassed, Bazar; and to add to the interest Nat the " slang" ex cited, that Jem Ward would take a hand in'the business ; but not so, to the great disappointment of his admirers, from what cause re mains yet in the dark—he did not appeir. However, they con trived to dis without him, and also Dick Curtis, who, we were in formed on the arena, had paid his fare by one o f th e Brummagem drags, but by some rum go or other he lost his blunt, as he could not for the life on him Sod the coach ken out in time; " we wish he may get it" again. Three o'clock, on Monday afternoon, was the hour appointed, and no sooner had the gates been opened' than the admirers of the hand-y" work began to flock into the yard, Pbll looking after the revenue. In about an hour the galleries and the vast space , immediately underneath, were thronged, we should estimate the company present to amount to upwards of a thousand prisons. The funnyments commenced at about three-linnets past three, with a set-to between a ferocious looking fellow called Brooks and Billy Button.--The former, we unlerstonsi, fought Matthewson sometime back, and the latter a groom, or some such sort of chip. This was a mere bagatelle. Ned Stockman and Parkes—This was nothing else but an out and-out set-to, a regular milling bout. Harry Holt and Birmingham Davis, Statham and Richardson, acquitted themselves to the satisfaction of the company. Phil Sampson and Tom Oliver—Phil appeared in excellent con dition, considering his recent turn-up with poor Drown. Alter tipping at each other for about five minutes, said—" Gentlemen, for the honour you have done me, I return you manithanks.

Every little anecdote connected with our reallec tiois of our good old King possesses a lively interest. The following fact, and we know it to be true, shows the extraordinary memory possessed by that beloved old man :—A young Irishman, the cadet of an old and respectable family in the King's County, after being gazetted an Ensign in Gisborne's Regiment, was pre sented to his Majesty on thus receiving his first com mission—a fine and forward stripling of fifteen. More than thirty years afterwards, although he had not seen the King, nor the King him, during that long inter vening time, when he was again presented at St. James s, on being appointed, through the patronage of the late Lord Salisbury, one of the Gentlemen Ushers, the King looked at him intently, and said, " Was you ever in Gisborne's May it please your MAjesty, I was."—" I remember you well, said the good old man, " handsome boy, handsome man, eh ! don't be angry, it's very true." Last night M. DE LA FOSS had a Conversazionl at his house, George -street, Hanover square, lately occu pied by Mr. HEAVISIDE. The extensive Collection of this eminent Gentleman, which is still in the Museum, in the rear of the premises, WAS ofen to the company. It was splendidly lighted up for the occasion, at .d the friendly attentions of M. DE LA FOSS made the eves. ing pass very agreeably. The Museum is extremely valuable. It consists uf a variety of morbid specimens of our own economy, collected by the celebrated Pro prietor during his extensive practice, as well as a very numerous and choice collection of pieces, illustrative of interesting, or still partially known, points in Ph . ysiolegy —the development of the human fcetus—the change of the tadpole to the frog—and the chain of pheno mena observable after impregnation in ov'parous ani mals.
