Los SLANOS, MARCH 28.—The Guatemala Army bas taken San Salvador, and has sent five hundred men to the province of Honduras ; the remainder match into Nicaragua, to establish tranquillity throughout the whole Republic. By way of America, a letter from Vera Cruz, of the 30th of April, states that port to be blockaded by a Spanish squadron. The Gazette de France, on the authority of the Austrian Observer, gives a positive contradiction to the statement of a Treaty Offensive and Defensive having been con cluded between the Courts of Vienna and Turin ; as well as to another equally false rumour of a Secret Treaty having lately been formed between Russia and Prussia. We received this morning the Algemeine Zeitung to the 19th instant. The intelligence it contains from Constantinople is of the same date and of similar im port to that which we gave through theinedium of the French Papers two days ago. It reiterates the state ment that the PORTZ has intimated its wish, through the Minister of the Netherlands, to renew the negociations with Great Britain and France, the Ambassadors from these Powers being invited to return to Constantinople. This news, it appears, has had a favourable effect on the funds at Vienna, the people in that city being of course the best judges of its authenticity. For ourselves, we must confess, we have had so many conflicting accounts through the same channel from that quarter, that we are disposed to receive this statement with some hesita tion. The following are extracts : The news the the Reib Effendi had sent written invitations to the Ambassadors of England and France to return to Constan tinople, has had a very favourable effect on our Exchange, and the Funds are rising.—Metalliques 92 5-16; Bank Shares 1,076. The Reis Effendi has *sent to Baron Von Znyten, the Minister of the Netherlands, and Baron Ottenfels, the Austria Internancio, a ate addressed to the Ambassadors of France and England in Cali, in which those Ambassadors are invited to return to Con stantinople to renew the former friendly relations between the Porte and those Courts, to negotiate Concerning the pacification of Greece. Though the invitation itself does not contain a formal acceptance of the Convention of 6th July. 1827, yet as both M. de Canitz and Baron Von Zuyten bad already represented to the Reis Effendi the uselessness of an invitation without such an assurance, the measure now taken, under existing circumstances, is the first official step to the pacification wished for by the three Powers. It appears natural that the'Porte, as matters now stand, has, notwithstanding its long opposition. taken this way, which it perhaps judged to be the least humiliating. The Reis Effendi, wbo war Advisecho 'end to Corfu a similar intimation for the Russian Ambassador, an swered that the . forte certainly wished to live as formerly, in peace and harmony with all Powers. From this and many other circumstances, it is evident that oche Porte Is resolved to do every thing to effect an arrangement with the Christian Powers. The following circumstance may afford a remarkable proof of the toler ant sentiments of the present Sultan. The Greek Patriarch re ceived orders to read with his Synod forty masses to implore suc cess for the Ottoman arms from the GOD of the Christians, who, however, are infidels in the ryes of all true Mussulmen. It might be supposed that the Sultan had intended by this solemnity to assert his right of Sovereignty over the Greeks, but as a similar order was gives to the Armenian Patriarch, it is an innovation without paral lel in the Ottoman annals. The Manifesto of the Porte, in reply tothat of Russia, provided with the necessary Tetwah, lies in the °See of the Grand Vizier ready for publication : the Reis Effendi sad a s Dragoman, who has grown old in the service of the Porte, ate saki to be the authors of it. COREU. MAT 15. The future political relations of Greece are still covered with a kind of veil, and it would require more than prophetic spirit to decide posi t ively on them. The efforts of Ibrahim Pacha to main tain himself in the hltireathe inefficient measures of the Euro rein Admirals, which cannot defeat Ibrabim's intentions, indicate a vacillation in the Councils of the Powers, which seems hardly reconcileable with the Treaty of 6th July. The efforts of Count Capo d'lstria to effect the. regeneration of Greece, are not likely to attain their end, under circumstances of so much difficulty; for the first condition to bring a country to civilization, must be sought in the patriotism of the inhabitants, which can have no foundation but in.coafornsity of manners, love of order, and attachment to . t►e manna time, free from secondary objects. _ The positive determination of the boundaries of Greece would be very desirable at this moment ; fur the uncertainty in which the Greeks are, both respecting the evacuation of their country by tie enemy, and the ezhart of territory which they are in future to call their country, is not calculated to afford a prospect of a to letable state of things among a people debased by slavery, and dis tracted by anarchy. Admiral de Rigny, who was lately at Egioa, and went theoce to Samos, seems to have received some instruc tions from his Government erepectiog the future boundaries of Greece, and he has acted accordingly; for he is said to have de clared to the President, that he considered Samos a part of the Greek State. Several Greek Chiefs, including blavrocordato, are said to be of a different opinion concerning Samos, on account of its vicinity to the continent, to be one of the islands which should rather be left in the possession of the Porte. Admiral de Rigny has, how. ever, ordered some French men of war to offer protection to the inhabitants of Samos. Count Cape &Istria appears to coincide with the Admiral. MI the strong places held by the Turka in Levadia arc said 4a be in want of p ro•isions, and it is hoped that the measures taken by the P,resident will effect their reduction. Count Guille. minor is still here.—Agerneine Zenon. Jane 18.

SIR GEORGE MURRAY: At the dinner given on Tuesday se'nnight, in come. Treace of the re-election of Sir Grouse MURRAY for Perthshire, Sir Jolts Ortearz being toasted, and having returned thanks, pro ceeded to say that he knew that, during their campaigns, no advice was held of such crime, by the Duke of Wettmurros, as that of Sir Gioacta. He knew his value and remembered k ; and it was but natural that the Premier should be anxious for the benefit of that decision and firmness in the Cabinet which he so muck depended on in the field. He recollected an anec dote told him by a General who fought and bled under the Duke at Waterloo. That Officer happened to be appointed to a post which, in the course of movements, became one of peculiar difficulty. The Officer waited on the Duke for advice. The Duke paced the apartment apparently in hesitation, though not perplexed, and, after ruminating a little, repeatedly uttered, " I wish GZOkOZ NIURRAT were here." The Duke has now got this valuable assist ance in another capacity, and he (Sir Join+) was confident and happy to think that he would be a means of preserving and pro moting this country in that pre-eminence, which be bad been fear ful was in danger from the theorists who lately directed her court cils.—Caiedonisos Mercury. THE ARMY. The 61st Regitretont will embark at Gravesend in a few days for Ceylon, to relieve the 16th Foot, ordered to India. The 72d Re giment embarks early in July for the Cape, to relieve the 49th, going on to India. 6 Thursday the depot of the 42d Royal Highlanders, lying in Stir ling Castle, were reviewed by Sir It. W. O'CALLAGHAN, Com mander of the Forces for Scotland. The corps received the gal. bat General on the esplanade,.who seemed highly gratified by the clean neat appearance of Busmen. As the day was fine. the de• liaehment of this distinguished Regiment looked remarkably well, and the manner' in which they acquitted themselves drew forth from the Reviewing General expressions of the highest satisfaction. Fist.. HATS.—Yesterday morning. at half.past seven o'clock, the First Battalion of the Grenadier Regiment of Guards, commanded by Colonel HAMSURT marched from Knightsbridge Barracks to Hyde Park, where ;hey , had a field-day. The troops were put through a variety of evolutions. all of which were executed with great precision. During the firing by companies, Colonel HAM• WILT'S charger suddenly startled, and threw his rider, whose right leg was considerably injured ; however. after a abort interval, he was sufficiently recovered to remount, and immediately left the Park, before the termination of the movements. Sir Hiner Toe sans, the Adjutant-General, Colonel Townsom, the Command Officer of the Grenadier Guards, and other Military Officers of rank, were present. The Battalion quitted the field at half-past eleven o'clock. The Battalions of the First Regiment and Cold.tream Guards this morning underwent a 'general inspection, preparatory to the Grand Review on Friday next. The Troops went through a variety of evolutions with skill and precision. and did not quit the ground until eleven o'clock. A number of Military Officers of rank attended the inspection.—The whole of tke Guards will be reviewed on Friday by Prince Groans of CIMARSILLAND, the Duke of Wzrzraions, ate. and a very splendid Field Day is expected.

The Earl of Aaritozen had a grand dinner party yesterday, at his house la Argyll-street. LONDON CONN EXCHANGEo•••YeateIANT 0 is building was optiied for public inspection. About 80 Gentlemen, friends and supporters of the institution, partook of an excellent dinner at the Coy of London Tavern. Mr. Da4N Pwalst was in the Chair, supported by Sir EDWAILD Ksavcnaut.r. and Sir Emus H*avvv. Aldermen Siam, WArruman, and Tnoursox, and Mr. Wmin, were also present, as were several Gentlemen connected with the corn and hop trade. The entertainment went off with great alai, and appeared to give general satisfaction to the company present. Yesterday being a diet non, there were no sittings in Westmin , ter Hall in any of the Courts. Fraic—Between 12 and 1 o'clock this morning a fire broke out in the house of Mr. Hardy, a watch maker, Ropert•street, Haymarket, but was speedily got under, without doing further injury than the damaging a few articles in the room in which it was discovered. The engines from several of the fire-offices were soon in attendance, to render assistance if it had been necessary. A dreadful accident occurred yesterday afternoon in the Battersea-fields. A person, named Lane, had sta tioned himself to fire at the pigeons that escaped from the enclosure at the Red House, when the gun burst from being overcharged, and shattered his hand' nd arm in a dreadful manner, blowing his hand nearly off. He was taken to the nearest chemises, and from thence to the Hospital. WESTMINSTER HOSPITAL. - The proposed removal o f the Westminster Hospital to a site opposite the banking-house of Coats and Co. in the Strad, is regarded by the public as a very odd proposal. Defying, as it does, all ordinary modes of explanation, we scarcely know In what light to comicier it. In a charitable point of view, it appears to be a transfer from where it is very necessary to where it Is not—from amongst its zealous friends to where it will find less supporters—and from an atmosphere less impure than that where it is thought desirable to place it. In a political point of view, it seems very injudicious, and cal culated to give very serious umbrage to those benevolent persons who bestowed their donations far rebuilding it in the lower parts of Westminster, where It is well known the greatest mass of dis tress exists—contravening the intentions of those who established, and those who supported it, for the sick poor of those parts ; and placing a large Institution in a situation no less hurtful to itself than prejudicial to the property by which it will be surrounded. COMMON HALL. A Common Hall wan: held yesterday for the purpose of nominating two citizens to fill the office of Sheriff for the ensuing year, and other general business. The Logo Mavoa arrived shortly after one o'clock, when the Recommit attempted to read the precept, but the uproar was so great it was impossible for him to proceed, so many voices calling out " because the man yes poor, you refused him a license." At length, however, the RICCORDRIL finished reading, amidst such a scene of confusion we seldom before witnessed. Mr. Ticensk then came forward and said, there were the names ' of two Gentlemen in the list that would be presented to them who were ready and anxious to serve the high and important (dice of Sheriff in the ensuing Mayoralty, and they were two Gentlemen In every way qualified for that situation, and he had no doubt they would fill the office with honour to themselves and satisfaction to the City. Mr. HUNT said, lie should like to have beard it said they would do aU they could to make the City Authorities a little more econo mical ; but he should not oppose thens—he had tot an arduous task before him—(A laugh). The names of twenty-seven Gentlemen wee then steVerally put in nomination, when the Common Sergeant declared the election bad fallen on Fruit Boom, Esq. citizen and cooper, and WILLIAM TAYLOR COPELAND, Esq. citizen and goldsmith—(Great applause). RICHARD C , Esq. was then unanimously se-elected Cham berlain for the year ensuing, with loud acclamations. The present Bridgemaster and AleConners were then re-elected. The Common SERGEANT next informed the Livery, that several Gentlemen had been proposed to act as Auditors, with Mr. H. Huta and Mr. HALL, who remain in that office for the present year. Mr. Hula then addressed the Livery and said, that before they proceeded to* show of hands he should wish to say a few words. Mr. A. one of his colleagues, had been rather a drag upon him. He was a very respectable man , and a Gentleman who, there was not the least doubt, meant well , but who was too much attached to old forms, and was averse to making those investigations which he (Mr. Hunt) thought highly necessary. He supposed that Mr. Hall would say he was telling tales out of school, when be mentioned one of the most memorable of Mr. A.'s propositions. Mr. A. said, we have got 1504 when shall we dine together? Mr. Hall said, we had better do something before we eat. For his part, he was determined neither to eat nor drink at the expense of the Corporation ; but Mr. A. did not seem to relish that, and could not help saying, at their last meeting, " Why, we have not even had a mutton chop together—(A laugh). He should conclude by proposing two Gentlemen, who would act in unison with !distend Mr. Hall, in the arduous duties of their office. Messrs. WILLIAMS and liaaatrr were then elected Auditors, with loud acclamations.—The business being gone through, the Hall was dissolved. It is now understood about the Government offices chat the Treasury business in tfie Commons will be gone through by the 15th of July ;that an adjournment will take place for a few days to enable the Lords to dispose of the business forwarded to them by the Commons ; and that the prorogation may be expected to be about the 22d of July, by his Majesty, in person, if possible. A burglary, remarkable for the daring and systema tic manner in which it was perpetrated, was committed Sunday morning in the shop of Mr. Morris, at the corner of Fleet Market. Sunday morning, about five o'clock, as the watchman was going off duty, he pushed Mr. Richardson's door, and was surprised to find it quite stiff and fast. He listened attentively, and thought he heard a noise inside, and mounting the roof of the shed he saw through a top window of Mr. Morris's shop two men busily employed in removing goods from the shelves. Some other watchmen coming to his as sistance, they proceeded to break open Mr. Richardson's shop door, which they had considerable difficulty in doing ; but there was a back outlet in the stall, of which the thieves availed themse:ves while the watchmen were breaking in at the front, and escaped into the street.— On examining Mr. Morris's premises, five,large bags were found filled with shawls, laces, and other property, to the amount of about 5001. ready for removal, and a complete set of picklock keys, centre bits, and other burglarious implements. The thieves had effected an entrance by breaking a large hole in the back wall of the shop from the fishmonger's. The case of George Howarth, the Frome burglar, was yesterday submitted , to the twelve Judges. The point reserved at the trial was whether Howarth, hav ing retreated unobserved from the outhouse where he was first discovered, the intent to commit a felony having then ceased, as it was alleged, was he not justi fied in resisting the attempt of Mr. Oxley, on whose premises the burglary was contemplated, to arrest him, Mr. Oxley not being armed with a warrant for that purpose? Mr. Earle appeared as Counsel for Howarth, and Mr. Jeremy for the prosecutor. After a long argument the Judges unanimously decided that the prisoner was still in the contemplation of the felony when the arrest took place, and consequently that his resistance came within the scope of Lord Ellenborough's . Act. The conviction being thus confirmed, the law will be left to take its course. The young Lady, Miss Wingate, whose name unfor tunately appears in the list of deaths by the late cala miry at Kirkaldy, had at first escaped from the crush at the bottom of she south gallery stair; but, missing her mother, from whom she had been separated in the melee, she returned repeatedly in quest of her mother, till at last getting fairly into the jaws of the torrent, she was thrown down, and trodden to death. In her breast, filial affection was stronger than the love of life. Her mcther escaped. Another affecting anecdote was told us. Mr. Andrew Nicol; upholsterer, took his' son, a boy of eight years old, with him to church on Sunday evening, very much against the inclination of his mother, who anticipated a crowd, and dreaded harm to the boy. When the rush commenced, the father was seen with the little fellow in the passage which divides longitudinally the lower part of the church, holding him firmly by the hand; but in spite of all his efforts, the unfortunate youth was caught in the raging vortex, and hurled towards the door which opens into the ves tibule, where he was jammed against one side, and his head being pushed forward, while his body was ren dered immoveable, he met his death by strangulation. The unhappy father escaped to lament with unavailing tears the melancholy end of his fine boy. The untimely deaths of the three young women, Mathewson', has left an aged mother, who depended solely on their in dustry, destitute of all means of support. Her three daughters, with their cousin Ann Smith, lately spinners in the employ of Mr. Ebenezer Rutherford, were in terred at the expense of that Gentleman. The number of funerals in Kirkaldy on Tuesday was ten, on Wed nesday four, and on Thursday two; making sixteen in three days. Ia Abbotshall church-yard three persons were interred in the coque of Tuesday; and no less than twenty-one individuals in all were during that day consigned to the grave. II LAW INTELLIGENCE.

Gas slashed like a tiger, but he bad bushed to muck, and ma wild to foolishness, consequently Bourke made the snot of it, and clarified the Gas a little.

Ned got hold of Bill to throw him a cross-buttock; but Ned feeling his mail a sturdy coe, applied too much force—he gave Bill the fall, but at the same time he pitched upon the crown of his own head ; his heels went quite upright, and he rose not a little atupified, which made a finish. Phil Sampson, and Oliver nude the wind-ap. Phil heartily thanked his friends, and expressed his discontent that so many of the pugilists bad absented themselves or refused to set-to. He apolotized for Jem Ward not appearing, as his finger, which ins hurt in his last light, still remains very bad. Iu the course of the day, the Sprig of Shamrock challenged Harry Alton, the Bath light champion, for £25 or £5O a-side. Cheshire Hero challenged any 12 stone man for £2O. He wad go £5 of his own, if Gentlemen would put down the resnainda. Barney challenged any 9st. 191 b. man for £5O a-side. Sampson informed Ned Neel,who appeared to challenge him, that he could not accept it, as he meant never to fight again. PEDESTRIANISM. Monday evening Dan M'Carthy, the pugilist, undertook for a bye wager of 51. to walk backwards two miles, in half an hour, one mile out rnd one mile in.pAt $ o'clock precigely he started from the Black Bull in St. John-street, and proceeded to tbe cue mile stone, through Islington Turnpike. This mile, notwithstandiig the crowded state of St. John -street, at such an hour of the even ing, he accomplished In thirteen minutes and a half, and returned to the Black Bull at twenty-eight minutes past eight, winning cleverly by two minutes. WRESTLING. A match took place yesterday in the Wellington Cricket Ground. Chelsea, between Phillip Gaffney and George Saunders, for 40 tom The first nine successive rounds were in favour of Gaffney, wbo threw Saunders with such force that he lay stunned for some time. In a short time he recovered, and the match proceeded. At the end of au hour and a half Saunders had such a heavy fall that rendered him incapable of rising. or even of bring raised, without danger. Fortunately a Medical Gentleman was on the ground, and bled him copiously, which bad the effect of partially recovering him ; all hopes of his renewing the match, 'however, had beet abandoned, and he was carried into the house of Mr. Newman, and put to led. At the Court of King's Bench on Monday, Mr. MILLER obtained a rule to show cause why the ow ceedings of the Inquisition of the New Brunswick Theatre should not be quashed.
