This forenoon we received the Piednrontese Gazette of the 23d ult. with Brussels and Ghent Papers to the 3d instant.

We have just learnt that the Emperor of Russia has left Warsaw, with the Prince of Orange, and is gone to Livonia. His Majesty, after stopping a few days at Riga, will go to Revel, and thence to St. Prtersburgh. Letters from Trieste say, that the accounts of the brilliant successes obtainei by the Greeks have been, all at once, succeeded by news unfavourable to their cause. It WAS said that ltedschid Pacha, who had received reinforcements, had resumed the offensive, and had ob tained great advantages, which were partly owing to the desertion or the retreat of several Greek Chiefsosho commanded advanced posts. All this, however, needs confirmation. FRANKFORT, JUNE 26. Several letters announce that the siege of PAtras is raised, and that the Greeks have only left a very small corps of observation in the ♦icinity of the place. The communications between Patras and Lepanto are now free. A numerous Greek corps, under the command of General Gouras, is beyond Salona. We learn that the Turkish troops in Thessaly are again advancing towards that town. MADRID, JUNE 17. Our Gaulle contains the following Proclamation, which the Government of Paraguay addressed to the inhabitants as bona as it was informed of the unhappy. events in that country : " INHABITANTS OP PARAGUAY !—The belrgerenr armies of Peru, the bet•er to consolidate our system, have been alternately victori us and vanquished. The slightest reverse has obliged us toisppose the conquerr.rs as a definitive superiority. This thews us the conduct we ought now to adopt. Since the events of Decem ber, orders have been given on the frontiers to receive those who have been vanquished, or who have refused to subscribe to the shameful capitulations of their Chiefs. Misfortune always merits the respect of the man of feeling, and if their misfortune requires us to be vigi• hint, it also commands us to receive them as Mends and brethren. If it is not yet time to give more event to our relations, at least u e must not forget the defence of the territory of our country ; because, if we suffer ourselves to be blinded, we shall be forced to suffer what imprudence has done in the other provinces. INHANTANTi or F r ARAGUitY !---We are the adali radon of the woad : beware of tarnishing the glory which our virtues have acquired us.

The bells of St. Martin's Church rang a merry peal, in token of rejoicing, on the Duke and Duchess's safe arrival. The Duke of Divowantaa has been residing for some time at the beautiful Marine Villa of his uncle, Lord Games Caveman, at Eastbourne, where the health of his Grace has been much renovated. The sudden illness of the Noble Duke, by which his splendid entertainments, both at Devonshire-house and at Chiswick, were in pan suspended, has occasioned a great disap pointment to the fashionable world.

ENGLISH OPERA HOUSL• This Theatre commenced its campaign on Sattirdaf night, under the auspices of a distinguished leader s and with such a well-disciplined force as must ensure its triumphant success, in spite of the heavy attacks of the batteries on the north, and the slitmishing of the light trr:ops on every side. But to drop metaphor, the Theatre . Royal English Opera House was opened on Saturday night, and the performances commenced with that admirable Newgate Pas'oral—the Beggar's Opera, which, we are sorry to say, has in this age of prudery been somewhat shorn of its beams. On this occasion, two new performers made their debut. Tie one , Mr. Tswana, is not wholly unknown to the London audiences from his having sung in the Oratorios some time ago. Ile has,how ever,we believe, never presented himself in the character of an actor until Sat utday. when he appeared as Chptain Mitheath, in the Arzer's Opera. Ilia voice is agreealle, and he was encored in several of his songs. Miss STEIHEN/6 played Pully,and sang most delightfully: and Miss Kin.cv in Lary, gave another proof of what nobody J doubts, that she is one of the most genuine actresses of the present day. Miss GOWNED, the debutante, appeared as Radius, in the opera of that title. She is young, of a 'slender figure. and with intelligent features. ller voice is pretty, and after she had overcome the first embarrassments of her entrance, she went through the part very successfully. She sang the songs in a simple unaffected manner, which deserved the applause she received. It is dangerous to pro phecy at first appearances, but we may, neversheless. venture to say, that this young Lady promises to make a very fair actress. — Mr. Tstoetst played Beleilk, in such a manner as to confirm the fa vourable opinion which his Mediated had excited. Miss Kelly's Pk** was as arch and cunning a display. of rustic coquetry as can be imagined. Mai Grnvoao played little Piekte in the Child very well indeed. Mr. Ton-max. in Tag, which is his best part, was irresistibly ludicrous. It is true. he is not like anything in nature, nit Is OR/VALHI, nor perhaps Luray; but he can make as many, and as ugly grimaces, as either of those eminent distorters of the human tare divine. THE DECCAN rRIZE•AIoNEY. Some virulent attacks having been made on the Duke of Wellington, in relation to the Deccan hooky. it becomes proper to state the real circumstances of that transaction, so far as his Grace is concerned. The Pindarrees, a horde of freebooters, under the protection of the Mahratta Chit fs, Holkar and Sandia, had made irruptions into our territories. 'co these they were, no doubt, incited by Holkar and &India. who, as well as other Maltratta Chiefs, had secretly formed a conspiracy to expel the English from India. A grand military plan was therefore formed by the Marquis of Hastings, in 1817, for the purpose not only of anni hilating the Pindarrees, but of putting down all hostile confederacy throughout India. This plan consisted of two ;stns. The Marquis of Hastings, with !be Beni a t army. advanced to the Sind, which river he reached oft the 6th of November, 1817. while the army o f the Deccan (or South) commanded by Sir T. Hislop, ad. vanced to the Ner budda, which river was crossed on the 14th of the same month by Sir J. Malcolm, second in command. Scindia was easily compelled to sign st treaty, renouncing the Pindarrees ; and these freebooters, alarmed and indignant at this conduct, fled to Holkar, who being also is to protect them, they either dis persed or threw themselves on the mercy or their con querors. Thus the first object of the war was completed without producing any particular result in the way of booty ; but it was not so with the second object, Scindia had at once subscribed to the terms required of him. Similar terms were offered to Holkar, but refused, and the battle of Maheidpoor was the consequence, which forced him to make a treaty placing himself in a sta-e of dependence on the British poster. Some inferior Chiefs, - however, still continued in arms, while others volun tarily placed themselves under the British protection. The Pei,hwa of the Mahrattas, who had been for years carrying on secret negotiations against us, was induced, in June, 1817, to sign a treaty renouncing communica tion with the other native Powers. This treaty he had no sooner signed than he resolved to 'violate it. On the sth of November, 1817., he broke out into open hostili- • ties. The Rajah of Nagpore pursued a similar conduct, and in the beginning of December of that year it was found necessary to proceed to extremities against him. The operations against these two Sovereigns, as well as those against Holkar, produced the capture of much valuable property, which forms the booty in question. Although this property was in point of fact taken in 1818, or 1819 at the latest, yet it could not sore be collected into one mass, or brought to a common ac count. False notions were entertained of what was booty. Some persons thought that public buildings were to be valued, and that debts owing long before by the native Princes were to be exacted, for the benefit of the captors. Time was required to get over these difficulties: and then arose a great question, whether the property which might fairly be deemed booty was to be divided' among all the British forces in the field, ' or only among the army of the Deccan? This point was solemnly argued in 1823, and was at length de cided in favour of the latter army. Thus far the Duke of Wellington had nothing to do with the case; but when it was decided that the army of the Deccan should alone share the booty, it came next to be considered that among the individuals of that army there might be a great 'variety of coadicting claims, and that some Trustees ought to be appointa4 with power to determine all questions of this nature which might arise. On the part of the Deccan army, Sir Thomas Hislop and Sir John Malcolm applied to the Duke of Wellington to take' on himself that gra• tuitous and laborious charge. His Grace declared that his personal wish was to avoid the burthen, but that he would sacrifice every consideration of that kind to be of use to an army to whose bravery he was so Mach indebted. Accordingly, in 1823, the Duke and Mr. Arbuthnot undertook this office. Many questions still arose. The object of the Trtistees was to put art end to them as speedily as possible; and in point of fact they were drawing to an end, when the complaint of eelay was brought forward in Parliament. Not a day nor an hour had the Ti ustees loitered: and we can state it as a ' positive fact, that his Grace, with his own hand, bad written above 1100 folio poser on the various claims. This statement, we trust, plain and simple as it is, will suffice to chew that the charge of delaying the dia. tribution of the propeity can in no degree attach to the Duke of Wellington, Those voluntary services hereon the contrary been most beneficial to the Army of the Deccan.—Morning Paper.
