•• 4 .. • k'a= r> a GREECE. • FROM THE *TV A& OF THURSDAY. ILLGHOTtIi, JULY 22. For a considerable time past we have had no arrivals Porn the Levant. To-day a great number of vessels came in at once, chiefly from the Back Sea. The Cap. tain of an Austrian vessel left the Greek squadron twenty days ago. The two hostile fleils wete in sight of each ether. The Greeks had GO, and the Turks 80 raj!. This same Colrain had a co , versation with the' lirtek Admiral, who was much afflicted at the news received from the Mores, and told him that Tripolizzt was qn the paint cf yiel Ing, because it was in want of Plaviiins, and was blockaded by the Egyptian troops. Ibe next day the Austrian Captain lost sight of the two fleets, but be heard a heavy cannonade. The Cap trio of another Austrian vessel, who left Zante a fort night sago, tepotts, that news had been received their, thot Ibrahim Nara had made himself mute: of 1. f. : 1'9 ifFa. The emelt Otrenide announces the raising of the siege of Miitaimigisi. The enemy's army, composed of 1.303- /ii•ICS and Christians tif Upper Albania, had been 4- •tackediand beaten at Viachori, and at t e passage of the Acheloos. It is a& rued, that 11., dschid Pacha is dead, last it was not known whether it was iii conse quence of a w'und or of sickness. On the 28th June •t: a Gteek fleet had gained, as it was said, a decisive tdVantage over the Ottoman fleet off Cape Malapao. Capta:n Pacha arrived at :tilos on the Bth July, w . th tis ships of war; the eighty vessels which he c imruar.ded having been dispelled. . This news wants contiitnatida. This article from the Greek Chronicle is likewise in Cie./eared des !Wrath as part of a vet y long letter from Zinte, giving an account of theiff.ir cf the Morea, and of the turn the, have isken in favour of the Turks. A lett. r , from Napoli di Romania, dated the 18th of June, states, that Odysseus, tired of awaiting the deci• sion of the Greek Government as to his fate, Attempted to escape lrom the citadel of Athens, in which he was confide d. With this view he endeavoured to pass over the wall by means of a rope. In descending it broke, and he fell so great a distance that he never moved lltd he lived a few days, he would have been iitcluded in the general amnesty issued by the Greek Covet nment.

T! is forensos we rcceired Brussels Papers to the•Sd irsts TEe following is an extract: • A Royal Decree of 26th June, centains the following regulations s —" Our Commissary-General of war, having laid before us a Re port. dated 28th April last, stating, that some Medical (Miceli of the Army, in garrison in towns where there is an University, or other Establishments in which medical instruction is given, after having attended in these Universities or Establishments the neces- , szry lectures to obtain the degree of Doctor of Physic, or to be ad mitted as Physicians or Surgeons, and after having thus obtained their degree or admission, solicit their discharge from the Army, in coder to practise the profession according to the degree they have obtained. " Considering that in permitting a military medical offiser to attend the lectures at an University, &c. it is by no means intended to withdraw him from the military service and enable him to fel low civil practice, but that the butruction he has received may be to the advantage of his practice as a military medical officer. We have thought fit to decree— " 1. That the faculties of medicine in the Universities shall not admit medical officers of the army to the examinations required to obtain the degree of doct‘r in these faculties, unless they are auihorked by our Commissary General for each particular case that may occur. •` Y. In the rime manner, the medical boards in the provinces shall not without a similar permission from the Commissary Gene ral, admit medical officers of the army as surgeons, accoucheura, or apothecaries, either for the towns or the country. "3. That the permission in question shall not be given by our Commissary General, unless the military medical officer who soli cits it, shall pave engaged to continue his service as a milltar7 cur. goon, &c. to the satisfaction of the Commissary General, for the term of ten years, after having obtained his doctor's degree, or having boon admitted by a provincial ntedkal board." This forenoon we received Frankfurt Papers to the 30th ult. They contain no intelligence of a political nature, either relating to Greece or elsewhere. Tires are still frequent on the Continent. In the night of the tOth ult. a fire broke out at Berle burg, which, in consequence of the scarcity of water resulting from the long drought, spread with great rapidity. In less than an hour the greater part of the town fell a prey to the flames.— One hundred and fifty-four houses and eighty-nine adjacent build ings were reduced to ashes, happily no person perished ; and but a few cattle were lost, but a great many persons are reduced to the greatest distress. • By Caraccas PApers, which have arrived to the 23d of June, it appears that an epidemic fever had raged for some time In the 'allies of Aragus. Several meetings of the Municipality bad taken place for the purpose of administering relief to the sufferers.' and arresting the progress of the disease. Two hospitals were or dered to be established, and a subscription for supplying medicines, l &c. to the poor was opened. By the arrival of the Georgiana, from Bombay, and the Morley, from Bengal, we have intelligence from the former to the 14th of February, and from the latter to the 17th of March. The accounts from the seat of war are to the 15th cl February. By these we find that that gallant and persevering Officer, Sir Atm nALD CAMIIIIML, had drawn his troops out of Ran boon, and put them forward on their march into the enemy's country. On the 12th the camp was formed eight miles from Rangoon, and on one of the days In. mediately following, the troops were in motion with Sir Atteiltax.tal at their head. The Commander-in-Chief was'not'Able" io employ' the'vahole of his disposable tree in.tbis expedition, owing to the difficulties and delays which were encountered in bringing up Com missariat stores. The force actually in the field con sisted of about 1400 Europeans, a Regiment of Sepoys, 400 of the Governor-General's Body Guard, and 140 Horse Artillery, with twelve pieces of cannon.— Besides the troops abovemeationed, the second di vision, about a thousand strong, under the command of Brigadier• General COTTON, was speedily to embark and proceed in boats up the river by Yain, Chan Zah, and Duroben. Seven hundred men were deputed to the capture of Basien, the only commercial town re maining in the hands of the Burmese. A juncture was to be formed on the route with General Moantsots, who was advancing steadily from Chittagong with a veteran body of troops. Prolate is the point upon which the grand army was to move 3 and here it was expected that Band**la, vrho has lately received large reinforcemenM from Unserapoera, would endeavour to dispute the advance of the British. Disheartened by the previous achievements of the same army, and by the defection of the natives, who were flocking in great numbers to place themselves under Bri tish protection, little doubt was entertained as to the fate of the barbarian. We learn, however, that Captain GODWDI had made an unsuccessful attack on a stockade about thirty miles from Ran.' goon. General Mammal) camp was on the banks of the Majeeo river on the lit of Much, waiting for the boats under Captain Haves to cross the river. which was two miles broad at the place where the army had assembled. There had been no further actions with the Burmem. His Royal Highness the Duke of GLOUCIDITaI ar rived at his residence, in Park-lane, ou Thursday evening, after staying three weeks at Cheltenham. The Duke of irVaLLINOTON landed at Calais on the 20th of July, at one o'clock in the afternoon. and a few hours aG-r set out for the Netherlands with his suite, consisting of nise persons. His Grace arrived at Ghent on Tuesdaf, from Oudenarde, and after having inspected the fortifications; took the road to Tremonde to continue his operations. . It is reported in the City, that one of the Ramsgate steam vessels, lying in the harbour there, caught fire yesterday, bat it was soon extinguished. I3elvoir Castle in the next month expects a Royal .visit. The Duke of Yoax, and a party of sportsmen, will be there, in addition to the usual visitors. Princess POLIGNAG has issued cards of invitation for a Rout on Monday next, at tier house in Portlsad.place. The Dowager Duchess of RUTLAND entertained a select Party at Dinner yesterday, at her house in Sackville.street. The Countess of ESSEX entertained a select Party at Dinner yesterday, u he: house in 1101 -street, Berkeley.square. Among whom were—The Duke of St. Alban's, General Cape!, Mr. and Lady Caroline Capel, the Dotrager Countess of Cork, Mr. and Mrs. 13. Carel, &t. Monday, Earl Daum:ism, Governor-General of the Canadas, together with his family lad suite, 'embarked on board' the Hr.a.e.r.D yacht, at Greenock, in order to return to the seat of: his Government. His Lordship embarked about noon, under a salute of Bitten gluts front the NATROD cutter, which was returned by the HEE.I.I.D u won as she gut under wei g h. She proceeded to sea with light winds. The wind has since proved contrary, which must retard his Lordship's progress. On Saturday, the inhabitants of Greencck gave an elegant public dinner to his Lordship. The entertainment went off in line style. About 140 Gentlemen of - the town and neighbourhood were present. Amongst the company were the Loan JUSTICE CLERK. A. CAMPAELL. M.P. Sir Govern.

ACCIDENT* BY DRuFVNING. ..AMIN.•• TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Sut—lt having been stated in several Papers (in sequence of a melancholy accident which happened by drowning in the Thames, near Chiswick, where the Duke of Devonshire, who witnessed it, humanely ren- 1 deretl his personal auistance), that " the dross belOnga l ing to the Humane Society, kept at the Red Lion, Chiswick, were immediately seat for, but they were not in order, and consequently could not , be used,".l am directed by the Committee of the Royal Human! So ciety, to inform you, that the statement as to the drags is erroneous, as the Society's drags are not kept at the Red Lion, nor was any application ever made to the Society by the proprietor of that house for them. The Society have drag stations in very many placer, where accidents are likely to happen, and have been the means of saving many valuable lives ; and it would be gratifying to the Committee, if the subscriptions to the Society would enable them to extend the number. I take the liberty of adding, that I know of no instance of an application from a Subscriber to the Society, or from a Minister or Churchwarden of a parish, to have drags placed in any situation he pointed out, being refused ; on the contrary, they have been cheerfully complied with. It would be impossible for the Society, out of its present subscriptions, to keep drags at every public-house by the side of the river, canals, &c. be sides rewarding publicans for taking in boJies imme diately in all cases of accident, and apparent sudden death, and to reward all the various claimants who risk their lives to save those of others. The number of claimants at the last monthly meeting was nearly one hundred, for their exertions in saving lives from drown. ing. The Committee will at all times he mo,t happy to co-operate with the Clergyman or Officers of the parishes, in guarding against the recurrence of those fatal accidents which have been so numerous, by afford ing every assistance in the power of lite Society ; and to this tnd I shall be glad to receive any communication which the Clergymen or Parish Officers may be pleased to make to me on the subject. Your inserting this letter will greatly oblige, Mr. Editor, your obedient Servant, J. FROST Secretary to the Royal Humane Society. Society House, 29, Bridge.street, Blacktriars.

The Emperor of Ausrata was to arrive at Venice on the 25th July, and to set out on the 3d of August for Vierra, by way of Laybach. This forenoon a Coroner's Inquest was held on the body of Jane Harley, who Is suppposed to have died in consequence of the ill usage of aidlioins, with. whom she cohabited.— (See our last Page). The Inquest was held before Mr. SIIKLING, one of the Carmen for Middlesex, at the, Coach and Horses, Turnmill.street. —The Jury, after being sworn, went 'to view the body of thede neasid. On their return, they requested that Sullivan might be k sent for from * Clerkenwell prison, in order to prove his identity.— The Coroner Immediately dispatched an officer for him. On coming from prison, be was strongly handcuffed, attended by sir officers.— On his crossing Clerkenwelf-green he was greeted With the mere dons of some hundreds of women. He 184 man about five feet fuur inches high.--After examining a number of witnesses, the Jury re turned a Verdict of Wilful Monier against Sidliton, who was com mitted, on the Coroner's inquest, to Newgate for trial. Thuisday, Mr. Jonm BRIDCiaB, timber merchsitt, of Little Guildford -street, in die borough of Southwark, hired a gig of Mr. Sear.nncu, of the Rose Inn, Ipswich, with an intention of g oing to Woodbridge. O n hi s leaving the Inn yard, he slightly smacked his whip, at which the hinge took fright, and ran at full speed till it reached the corner of the Turret Garden-wall, which juts into the road, where Mr. Dawns was thrown with his head against the wall, and received a dreadful wound on the forehead; which was cut open, and tailing under the gig, his right thigh was also broken. —He was taken up and rattled. into Mrs. Acton'a. garden, and medical aid immediately procured, but death closed his suffer ings in about ten minutes.

JASPER TOMSETT JUDGE P. COLONRL SUMMIT, LORD SUS.EX LENNOX, AND ROBERT CARR H AMMOND, ESQ. This :ase was to have been tried at Gloucester, being the county in which the subject-matter of the action originated; but Mr. Judge having mgyed the Court above to have the place of trial changed to Middlesex, on his affidavit that he did not conceivs he would get impartial justice done there, from the influence of one of the defendants (Colonel Berkeley) enjoyed in i t , though the Court was of opinion t' , ere a as not sufficitnt grounds laid before them to induce it to grant the motion, they directed the ttial to take.nlace here ; and this day (Thursday) having been fixed for it, at an early hour in the morning the Shire-hall was crowded to ex.eis, by the Ladies an.] Gentlemen of this and the neighbouting counties, anxious to witnrss the reiult. The Special Jury list having been called cm, Mr. C.Pstu.tra, leading Counsel for the plaintif f , addressed 'h e foreman, and said. " Sir, I ask you, as a man of Maur, have you made any declaration prejudicial to my client, respecting this tri 11 Mr. Symmonds (after the confuSion excited by the question had subsided)—l do not understand you. Mr. TAUNTON here said the objection was most unusual with respect to Special Jurors. Mr. Justice Botorocort —The objection k most certainly ur. usgal ; but I am sure that the Gentleman, if he made any such Lle. claration, would have no objection to 'Lite he had. Mr. PHIM.I7III—I can only say I have been instructed, Sir, ti:zr you have made a strong declaration, and as a man of honour, I am sure you will say whether you have or not. Mr. Symmonds—l deny it. Mr. Pitman—Then when you say so, am perfectly ; and, as I have been so grossly misinformed, I think it rigbt Should bare my authority. - Mt. Pazurcitere was handing s. paper :cross the table to Mr. ' Sjmmoods, when Mr. Jititiee Boaaouou objected to hi, doing so. Mr. Penile(—My Lard, I feel it due to Mr. Symmondr he should have the authority. (Adding to Mr. Synimonds in an tin. ter tone..." You shall have It after the trial."). • The Special Jury was that sworn, with two Wes:l . :en to in-Ate up the number. bir. LOCI:HART opened the plead ngs. The tieciara lion stated this was an action to recover compensation _ in damages frr an assault and battery committed by the defendants on the person of the plaintiff, at his house at Northfield-place, on the 14th March last; they having then and there struck him with a ship several heavy blows on the head, &c. with the butt-end and lash, by which he was much cut ) &c. In the second count there was an averment, that the defendants forcibly and violently committed a cornrows assault. The damages were laid at 5,0001. Mr. PHILLIPS exprea ed regret at having to detail the particula's of an atroci.us, a brutal, and unmanly out. rage; an outrage which not merely degraded the panics implicated, but the entire class of society in which they had been in the habit of moving. Mr. Judge was the editor, and. part proprietor of the Cheltenham Journal; a man of some literary attain-news; highly educated, a, d. though not so highly born as some of the defend ints, there was never yet a stain plated on his character.-- One of the defendants, Mr. Hammond, was a Gentiem n of lortune, residing in Gloucestershire. Another, Lord Sussex Lennox, was• a Gentleman in high station; a Nobleman, connected with a ducal house, being son.or the late, and brother to the pre,ent Duke of Rochmnnd, and possessing largely of the fortune of that family.— The th . rd defendant, William Fitzhardinge 13 rkeley. was well known to the Jury, and was the propriet-r of Berkeley eft:t7e, and at the head of £20,000 per yea-. It would appear that Colonel 13 o ke:ey was offended at something that was published in the paper of which Mr. Judge was Editor; on this he did not resort to 1:117 for redress, but with the other defendants he e-er.glit proper to go to the house of the pl iiraiff, arid commit this outrage. They went there in the most disgrace ful manner, actually skulking behind coiner. of streets, in lanes, and in passages, as would be proved in evidence, deliberately and coolllf waiting for elm moment when they could execute their purpose.---" Lord Sussex Lennox went, about two o'clock, to the house, 'and inquired of the maid servant for Mr. Judge. The maid.sa'd he was not at horn-, and subsequently Lord Sussex Lennox said he had a letter for Mr. Judge. He arrived again at three o'cl.ick with a letter. He then went alone; at that moment Colonel Berke, y was hid ing at the c rtair of Northfield-place with the other de fendant. They were all seen there together. Oa Lord S. Lennox arriving at the house the maid told him Mr. Judge was in his parlour, and he was shewa in. On the instant Colonel Berkeley and Mr. Hammond rushed after him. Their carry into the hou.e might be• for they said it was on the business of the paper they came about. The maid at that time heard Col.Be; keley say, " I have come for an explanation respectiog your conduct to me;" and Mr. Judge's reply, " Who.haire II the honour of addressing ?" I am Co:onel Be; keley." Upon which Mr. Judge said, any explanation he re quired he should have at.the Office. " No, Sir; no, Sir —Now, now !" And here the gallant party, having closed the door upon their 'min, commenced their operations. Colonel Berkeley repe itedly lashed him with his whip across the head, the eyes, and the face, drawing blood at almost every stroke. Tie maid having heard the cries of her master, with the blo . .vs of the whip, ran to the door; but to the honour of these courageous Gentlemen, one (whether it was the Lord oc the Ger,- tleman he knew not), kept it closed so that no one could get in. They most inhumanly beat him, uutil they were tired, and as Col. Berkeley used the vehitein the manner described, whilst the others closed the doors, they aided and assisted in this outrage.
