The interior of Africa and the coarse and termination of the celebrated riverlliger, are subjects to which the public mind has long been directed with intense anxiety. This anxiety has been greatly increased by the return of Captain Clapperton and Major Denham from their journey of discovery in the interior parts of the northern portion of that vast Continent, and the intelligence which it is understood they have brought to Government. We have already alluded to the accounts of their discoveries transmitted to this country previous to their return from the interior of Africa, and brought down to that point where Captain Clapperton was left pursuing 'his way to ascertain the course of the Niger. It is necessary to y recapitulate the principal facts concerning these, as pub lished by the Quarterly Review, in order inure fully to understand what is to follow. The longitudes ani latitudes, and consequently the positions of States and Cities, have been found to be grossly erroneous. Bornou, laid down in about 18 de grees North latitude, and 20 deg. East longitude, has been found to lie in 12 deg. North lat. and 14 or 16 deg. East long. Turning up a map and fixing upon these parallels as the centre of Bottrop, the fol. lowing will be better appreciated. The read is not a river, but a large lake of fresh water, extending from about 14 deg. 30 min. North lat. to 11 deg. North lat. and is fed, so far as is yet known, by the Ina, a river about 100 feet broad, coming from the west, and by the Shary, a river 600 yards broad at its mouth and coining from the S. and S.W. but where its sources are, is un certain. No river from the westward, except the Yeou, joins either the read or the Shary to the north of the parallel of 9 deg. SO min. North lat. and on the meridian of Birnie, the capital of Bornou. Of the farther discovery made by the travellers, we l• ere just learned the following particulars (but not from the Quarterly Review), through a channel which, we believe, I as the means of being correctly informed, regarding ti e leadine facts communicated by th e tra vellers. Major Dentin) wasobliged to leave t4O miles of the east side of the lake Tsad unexplored. conse quently it remains uncertain what rivers flow into the lake, or issue from it in that quarter. The course of the waters which may intervene between the Tied and the Ba: r el Abi td remain the same as pointed cut by former author ities. After pursuing his course westward , along the course of the Yeou a considerable distance, Capt. Clipperton struck cff to the South. How far he journeyed iii that direction we have not heard, but he came to the capital of a powerful and friendly Sove reign, whose dweLing was graced by English crockery ware, and European goods obtained from the vessels which trade to the Bights of Benin and Biafra. This Prince has both the means and the power to open up a communication with the Atlantic, and expressed his anxiety to do so. Here Capt. Clapperton found Euro pean books. The population are rigid Mahommedans of the sect known in the East Indies, and are consider ably advanced in civilization. With Tripoli there is a regular communication, by means of a monthly post. Too powerful Sovereigns at present divide and eontroul this great portion of Central Africa. Capt. Clapperton did not penetrate to the Niger or the river of Timbnc too. although be was within about 70 miles of it, but he obtained such information as left no doubt in his mind of the fact that the Niger ran to the South, and entered the Atlantic Ocean in the Bights of Benin and Biafra. From information also obtained, it appears that the Niger is joined by a river from the North-east, and after this junction the united and powerful flood rolls its volumes southerly into the ocean, as has just , been mentioned. Three Officers, we believe (Captain Clapperton and two others), will shortly proceed to the Bights of Benin and Biafra, in order to penetrate into the inte rior and the countries which they left, by means of the Niger, and directed and seconded by all the power and energy of the British Government, in order to attempt to establish a ready communication and commercial arrangements with the Potentates who bear sway in that part of Africa. Highly important as the commercial and geogra phical information which these travellers bring re garding the interior of Africa is, (that such was to be expected previous researches had enabled us to point out) still, these sink into insignificance before the great and important fact (which we have long ceased to doubt) namely, that the Niger, which traverses such a vast event of Central Aft ica,connunicates with the Atlantic Ocean, and we are quite sure by a navi gable current. Without this proves to be the case, all discoveries in the interior of Northern Africa would have been comparatively useless, and all attempts made by Europeans to enlighten and civilize those parts, would h..ve proved a business most tedious, if at all practicable. By the Niger the deepest and most hidden recesses of Africa are at once laid open, and European power, and European intelligence, and Euro pean industry, will penetrate, without difficulty, into the remotest corneis, and teach the Africans. what Europeans know, and what Europeans want, by an ho nourable and legaimate commerce. The reader has only to turn to the map to perceive the value and importance of the Island of Fernand. Po to this country. A healthy and fruitful spot, with safe anchorage, easily fortified, and invincibly protected by the Power which.rules the ocean, it is only thirty five miles dirant from that mouth of the Niger, by which alone heavy ships can enter the River. Consequently its value and importance, in our future connection with Africa, exceeds all calculation. No time ought to be lost in fixing our flig upon it. It is with considerable regret, hoaever, we learn that same difficulties have arisen in a quarter from which none were anticipated. Portugal, writ` formerly claimed the Island, has ceded it to Spain, and since we have acknowledged the in dependence of her American possessions, that Power w ill neither lead nor drive, or do anything we require ; and it is.considered blush and unjust, in her present condition, to take possession of it without her consent. —No measure nor expense, however, will, we hope, be left untried or saved to obtain the right to tlijs import- I ant post, whatever that expenie may be. IVithout it all our energies in Africa will be cramped, and in the hands of any other Eutoreau Power the advantages to be obtain.-d from Afri:a may in some measure be anatched from this country.

" Thanks to Goo! The enemy's fleet, that made its', appearance off Cape d'Oro, threatened so much to at-1 tack the Islands of Hydra and Spezzia, that the Go.' veroment thought it necessary to order the troops that were at Napoli di Rostrania to be sent there, in order to defend this bulwark of Our independence. The afore said fleet, consisting of 100 sail, between men-cif-soar and transports, and which was carrying troops and all kinds of ammunition and provisions, in order to effect the ruin of Greece. has been completely defeated by our brave sailors off ape d'Oro and Andros, between the 'lllDth and 21st of Wy, 0. S. The proud aptain Pacha 'escceeded, with much difficulty, in effecting his escape with only 27 ships, still followed by the second division of the Greek fleet undet -Sacktoury. The Admiral's ship, which was the largest amongst the enemy's fleet, was burnt ; but the Captain Paella was not found on board, he knowing by experience that the Greeks at tacked generally the ship on board of which he was. Another frtate, of a smaller dimension, has also been burnt in the engagement; and several other men-of war, haring been dispersed and chased by the Greeks, ran ashore on the islands of Syra and • Tino. A great number of transports had been captured and brought into the Islands of Hydra and Spezia. The Admiral Miaulis, informed at Milos, of the glorious engagement of Sacktoury, hastened to the spot in pursuit of the lest of the enemy's fleet, which it was Tully anticipated would have met the same fate." " CORFU, JUNE 17 AM 18. " Ibrahim Pasha's position in the Morea becomes daily more critical. It appears certain, that in wishing to penetrate into the interior of the country, he was surrounded by a considerable body of troops under Colocotroni, from whence he will find much difficulty in extricating himself. Besides his bad situation by land, the events that took place by sea between the 20th and 21st of last month O.S. must very much embarrass him. According to the official report of the Greek Government on this event, it reiults that the Capitan Pasha's frigate, with another of a smaller dimension, had been burnt by the Greek fire-ships, together with many other small vessels, and that the Capitan Pacha's fleet was reduced to about 30 ships. I The Greeks, under Gouras, have beaten the Turks in Eastern Greece. Report says, that they surrendered themselves prisoners, and that Gouras was trying to effect a junction with the Greek army of observa tion at Missolonghi, in order to attack the Albanians that were besieging that place." ZANTE. JUNK 14. " The official report of the Greek Government will inform you of what took place in the beginning of June (N.S.), between Sacktoury and the Capstan Pacha. I have moreover to say, that the news contained in the aforesaid report has been confirmed by the many Cap tains of merchantmen that have arrived here lately. They reckon the loss of the Turks at about thirty sail, between men of war and transports, laden with provi sions and all kinds of war ammunition. This event renders their situation in the Morea very critical. We have seen to-day three Greek ships going to Misso. longhi, with war ammunition and provisions. They have orders to prevent the Turks communicating with Patras, where it was intended to send a considerable body of troops under the comma id of one of the chiefs detained at Hydra." FROM THE WRENCH PAPERS. PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT OF GREECE. " The President of the Executive Power notifies:— " What God is greater than the GOD of our Fathers ? —The enemy's fleet had appeared near Cavodora, and threatened from afar the islands of Hydra and Spezz'a. The Government has been forced to call together all the soldiers scattered in the environs, to defend the cerstre of the liberty of Greece. The fleet, composed of about 100 ships of war and transports, having on board troops and provisions of all kinds, has been dispersed after an obstinate combat with our seamen, on the 12th June, between Cavodore and Andros. Topal Pacha, with much difficulty, saved himself with twenty-two of his vessels. The second squadron of our fleet is in pursuit of them. In the midst of the action an enemy's frigate and the Admiral's ship were burnt by our fire-ships.— Topal Pacha was not, however, on board his ship : he had probably supposed that this time, as before, our fire-ships would be directed against the Admiral.— Several vessels and another vessel which were dis persed and pursued, ran agrou'd on the coasts of the isles of Tine and Syra. The greater number of the ports were taken and carried into Hydra and Spezzia. The remnant of the enemy's fleet is dispersed about the Egean sea, and, according to all appearances, will fall into our hands. What makes us hope for the total de struction of the enemy's fleet is, that the first squadron of our fleet yesterday joined tbe second, which fought the battle, and both together will do their utmost to cut off the retreat of the Mahometaes.

These Pipers contain the following answer of tbscouncil of State of Geneva to the motion of Mr. ETNAIIID Lining, made in tho sitting of last year, " That measures might be takes to preserve the memory of events important to the country, and of the men who have done great services to the Re public." " Experience teaches us that the memory of events important to the country is not extinguished. With respect to the question whether it be advisable to honour the memory of men of merit by monuments or other proofs of public gratitude? the Council of State is of opinion, that in Republics such rewards ought not to be bestowed, except for very extraordinary actions, which prove the pureest heroism and perfect self-denial, and which, consequently, are beyond the usual sphere of civic virtues. In a small State like ours, the oppor tunities of serving the country by glorious deeds occur very seldom. 44 If the Government were to establish, by a legis lative measure, the principle and the mode of such national recompences, it night be apprehended chit pretensions would be excited which it would be at times difficult properly to apps eciate. If the Courcil of the Republic think fit to do honour to the memory of dis tinguished ci kens, they are at liberty to do so, and no law is necessity to authorise them, &c."

Sir HARCOURT Lam has addressed a letter to the Protestants of I; eland, charging them, as they value his past services, and look forward to his future support, not to have any public procession on -the ensuing Twelfth of July. " If," says he, " you should be mad enough to act in open defiance of both law and pru dence, at such a critical period, you will arm your enemies with the most deadly weapon yon could place in their hands, and at once annihilate the entire of that noble political edifice which I I:a%e nearly completed, for the permanent security of your Church, your Con stitution, and your Country." We hope the advice of the Rev. Baronet will be attended to. In another column 'we have inserted a Circular Letter (torn Mr. S !cretary Pact to the Chairmen of the Quarter Sessions, on the subject of the New Jury Bill, which is one of the most important, and promises to be one of the most beneficial Acts the Legislature ever enacted.— This admirable statute will remain on record as a per manent memorial of the Right Hon.

It is highly important that all its prepara tory provisions should be well understood, and the" ma chinery" of the Act be brought into a state of readiness for operation before the commencement of next year, when the Act will come fully into force.— Mr. Secretary Pm., therefore, judiciously suggests to the Chairmen of the Quarter Sessions, the propriety of their explaining the Act in their charges to the Grand Juries; and he also advises that Special Petty Sessions should be held, in the latter part of September, for the purpose of considering, reforming, and ultimately al lowing, the new lists of Jurors.

The following Circular, respecting the new Jury Bill; has been issued from the Home Office, for the due pro mulgation of that important and valuable measure : WHITWALL, JUL: 4, 1142.5. " Siu—l herewith transmit a copy of the Act (6 Geo. IV. c. 50), which has recently passed. for consolidating and amending the laws relative to Jurors and Juries. The machinery for the construction of the Jury lists came into operation ow the lst instant, but the ge neral provisions of the Act will nut be in force until the corn asencement of nest year. " As it is highly important that the duties of those who are con. cerned in the formation of the lists should be fully understood. I think it would be ex:rensely useful that yet should explain them in your charge to the Grand Jury at the approaching Quarter Sessions. And it will also be desirable that you should call the attention of your brother Magistrates to the necessity of their appointing a Spetial Petty Sessions, to be held within the last seven days of September, for the purpose of receiving, considering, reforming, and allowing the lists: the day of holding which Sessions most be fixed, so as to enable the Clerk of the Petty Sessions to give notice of it to the High Constable of each hundred, and to the. Church wardens and Overseers of each parish, before the teth of August.• You will End thiasubject treated of in the 10th Section of the Act. " Ike qualifications and exemptions of Jurors are described in the two first clauses • and as they are also fully stated in the Pre cepts, which will be in the hands of the Parish Officers I hope there is little danger of their bring misunderstood. The great alteration consists in making the owners of personal property qua bled to serve on Juries, which is effected by qualifying those who are rated or assessed to the Poor Rate, or Inhabited House Duty, in 20/. or occupy a house with 15 windows. You will not fail to observe, that the lists, which have been heretofore prepared by the Petty Constable or Tythingman, are now, according to the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth section, to be prepared by the Chuichwardens and Overseers, who are deemed to be, in the great majority of cases, more intelligent and more conversant with the subject than those on whom the duty his hitherto fallen. And the power given by the 11th clause, of in specting the Tax Assessments and Poor Rates, is calculated to facilitate the discharge of this duty. " The 44th and 45th sections impose such penalties on the Peace and Parish Officers for the neglect of their several duties, as, it is hoped, will deter them from neglecting them. * I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your most obedient humble Servant, " ROBERT PEEL.
