It is a correct statement of the number of ships and vessels of war, belonging to the various and successive Belligerent Power!, which were captured or dt.stroycd by theßritisliNavy from the commencement of hostilities in 1803, to 1814,describing the class of the •es- eels and the Powers to which they belonged. It will be seen by this statement, that the observation of =honest slilor during the war had some truth in it, when he called our enemies ship-builders to Old England. The French Firers contain an article from Lisbod, staling that the circles at the Queen's Conit are nu merously attended, and that her MAJISTY has received perinission to leave the convent of Queluz, where she was living in retirement, and to reside in the palace of Rimaillon, where she is again at liberty to hold her Court. The first and best return she can make to the Krim for his clemency, will be to spurn from her Court all those bad advisers who involved her in the conspi racies against him and his Government; we fear, how. ever, she will be the source of new political intrigues, bless very carefully watched. The same Lisbon letter says— .. The nephew of Count de Subserra (General Patnpelona s &- Minister of War), our Ambassador at the Court of Spain, arrived here a few days ago from Madtid, bearing dispatches, the object of which was again to solicit his recall. It Is stated th at his request will be acceded to. This Minister, in point of fact, found himself awkwardly situated in Spain, by the side of the Portuguese Prig. — ceases, who had shewn so strong an indivation to favour the political , views of the Queen of Portugal and the Infant Dou Miguel." This forenoon we received Frankfort Papers to the 21st inst. One of them contains an article from the Oriental Spectator of Smyrna, purporting to be a letter from Napoli di Romania, in which the successes, skill and intrepidity of IBRAHIM PAULA are . taun:ed, and' _ . COLOCOTRONI accused of a want of military skill, in suffering the Egyptian leader to take the defile of Le cndari without firing a gun. The Oriental spectator is not a good auth:tity, but the affairs of Greece are , certainly not very promising, though an article from Sera, in the French Papers, states, that the mass of the Greeks, fearing treason on the part of the Moreotes, had poured in from the Islands to support the Govern. ment. It appears, however, that die treason was that of pretended apostate Turks! At Napoli di Romania, a Turk has been discovered, who has been there five mcnths, and who, attired in European co+tume, passed for a distinguished Phillsel lenian, who had come to assist the Greeks. He raised troops. Among those recruited, there were thirteen other Turks. They were to spike all the cannon of Napoli di Romania, at the approach of Isstatmsr TACNA. His correspondence had been intercepted. Alter being put to the torture, and having made a full confession. the traitor was burnt alive. . The following are the extracts from the Oriental Spectator, a Journal as hostile as the Austrian Observer to clue Greek's : Ibrahim Pacha seems to have made Tripolisza the centre of his military operations. When he et out, with WOO men. to make a reconnoissance in the Mores, ci far as to Napoli di Romania, he had to pass the very difficult defiles of Leondari ; the passage there is cer- tsiely =now s and abe*vs, the mountains are se de". that ilia distance between the two Stl . Main is lass than • % • Pa pisiollb` oh It wi on one of them heights that Colo- Corma l ha 4 ixiiteki and (milled himself. Ibrahim, baring reconnoitred the position of the Greeks, laughed at the grois fault they had committed ; took possession of the neighbouring mountains, which they had neg lected; was even able to plant his cannon; and de stroyed with ease the fortifications in which the Gret ks thought themselves secure from attack. The brave Colonel Villasse, who was on the spit, pointed pointed out to Colocotroni the danger of their position, if the Pacha should attack them by turning the moun• tain. This was, in fact, Ibrahim's intention, as he has since declared. The Greek General yielded to the re presentations of the Colonel, and ordered a retreat du• ring the night. It was in this manner that the Egyptian, almost without firing a shot, made himself mater of the im portant defile of Leondari, in which he le.t some t:oops to guard it; he then proceeded to Tripolizza, where he I stopped the progress of the fire which the Greeks had kindled, and lett there a garrison of 500 men, which!). thought sufficient for the weak enemies whom he had to combat. Hence be advanced to the environs of this capital. Here follows a letter giving an account of the, skirmish at the Mills, in which, it is said, the Turks had two killed and several wounded, and the Greeks two wounded, one of whom was the chief Manigoni. The spectator promises to give, in its next number, the details of the farther successes of the Turks. -.~ .•.• 41' ~4 11 1•11 P Tilt. KING.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess de Berri arrived yesterday, at Eve in the afternoon. Sae was met at a distance of some miles from the town by the majority of the respectable inhabitants, French and English, mounted on horseback. The public road was lined on either side, a mile out of the town, by the poorer classes, who made their obeisance, and shouted the usual vistas upon the occasion. The Duchess was in an open buena., drawn by post horses, who were tied on to the vehicle by ropes—nothing better I One or tw o tra velling carriages were all that followed, the whole being escorted by a party of dragoons. The greater part of her Royal Highness's suite bad arrived in the course of the day. On entering the town the Duchess was conveyed to the hotel prepared for her reception in the Grande Place, at a slow pace, preceded by military music.— In the Grande Rue, and all the streets through which the Royal procession passed, garlands of Bowers, and ropes of ivy,- tastefully Interspened with the poppy lower, were hung from window to window across the road.

CORONERS' INQUESTS. - Inquisitions were taken last night before Thomas Higgs, Esq. on the bodies of two patients of St. ,George's Hospital. The first case was that of Lucy Hant, an aged wo man, residing in Saint Alban's Place, Haymarket, who was injured in the head about a fortnight back by the fall of a pail which had been placed on the dust bin. She was in cbnsequerrce conveyed to this hospital. Mr. and Mrs. Gibbs, relations to the deceased, deposed to having visited her in the hospital every day up to the time of her death. Mr. William Carroll, the House Surgeon of the Hos pital deposed to the deceased's being brotaght there on Friday week ; she had a wound on the scalp bone of her head, which at the time was not considered dan gerous. Everything proper was done for' her. She went on very favourably until Saturday last, when she was attacked wi!h erysipelas in her head.--From her great age, and weakness, her constitution gave way, and she died from the effects of the wound. Examined by Mr. Gibbs.—Wu there any large artery in her head cut? Witness.—She told me she had lost upwards of two quarts of blood,and I should therefore suppose there must have been. 4r. Gibbs.—l should have thought you must have found whe ther it were so or not, when you examined the wound? Witness.—lt was not necessary to examine it. Mr. ffibbs.—l understand poultices were applied to the head from day to day? Witness.—That was not till after she had been four days in the Hospital. Mr. Gibbs.—Why were they more necessary then than at first ? Witness.--Bectrase the wound did not heal up as was expected. The Jury returned a verdict of—Accidental Death. The second enquiry was touching the death of John Sharp, a bricklayer, who, it appeared, fell from a scaf fold oa which lie was at work, in the Vauxhall-road, and was conveyed to this Hospital, where be died. Ver. dict—Accidegtal Death. Yesterday evening an Inquisition was taken at the sign of the Walnut Tree, Stepney Green, before J. W. Unwtx, Esq. on view of the body of Thomas Wardell, a fine boy, ten years of age, the son of a respectable tradesman in the neighbourhood, who was killed by falling front a tree. Verdict, " Accidental Death." On the same evening another Inquest was taken before the same Coroner, at the London Hospital, on the body of Elizabeth Harris, an aged woman. The only evidence was that of Sarah Low, toe of the house nurses, who stated that the deceased was brought into the Hospital on the 9th of July last with a compound fracture of the thigh, and that she died on Wednesday morning. Verdict as above. Monday, John Evans, Who was convicted of mur der at Brecon Great Sessions, was executed at Brecon Jail. In the morning he fully acknowledged his guilt: DUTCH WHALE FISHERS.--The two ships fitted out in the Spring Roan Roiterdam fir Grecrland, have re turned; one guile empty, the other with a barrel and a half of seal blubber; that from Harlingen is also re turned without fish, and with only 40 battels of seal blubber. ' I rrir.i~.a..''~~ . v • EELtinvi The following is an extract from a letter writt en by captain PWICRAS, of his Majesty's ship Ent, to th e Rev. G. A. BROWNE. of Trinity o n —llege:--* a. t h e 196th of May I anchored at Accarah, on my return f rom a'cluise to Goree; although my plan is not to g e ou shore, yet on your account I deviate from my pan ic * and proceed to make my constant inquiries ab o u t pow BELZONI; to my surprise, and I may add delight, is hailing a canoe, which was going off to a vessel Oa th e point of sailing, my Purser, who was in the boat It : 4 me, recognized Mr. Houston, the Gentleman to who * I was the bearer of letters from yourself and tar t Bst.zont. I took him into my gig, and went on sh ON and continued in his society the remainder of the the e; I delivered the portrait and letters. Mr. Hewn, thinks that BaLZONI Notild'have succeeded in geru e to Timbuctoo, had he lived, Everything had lam 4 : , ranged with the King of BENIN, whose messengers ar e , to have conveyed BELZONI to Hoorn, but alas! th e cruel And heart-rending fatality of the cliMate cat off from lire and fame. BELZ , )Ni lost his spirits moment he was taken ill, and gave himself up. spoke of his poor widow with the gre nest affection, . also of his mother and sister. The place of his burial is respected, and will remain so. As Mr. II ittsron as returning to Benin, I have requested him to ()tome me a slip of the plane tree which adonis and dis tinguishes the grave; this I hope K ill reach nu., and I shall with care preserve it for vor Mrs. BELE whose feelings I can well commi erate. When at Mince's Island, the other day, I heard that a vessel had arrived, with a monument for Bal.zom, in the, Benin river. Mr. Housross also told me that Mrs. Bzcz-ut had sigr.ified her intention cf coming to this land of pes. tilence ; this idea was formed, I hope, during the first moments of her grief, and that it has now been aLai. doned—if it is not, do fr,r Goo's sake dissuade her limp it; it can be no good, and would only add anothar victim to African dis.covei y." TRAVELLERS IN AFRICA. The spirit. of enterprize which the late ever-td-he lamented Dr. CLARKE so powerfully excited anionic the Members of Cambridge University, has not suffered any abatement. A young man of fortune, lately c Trinity College, Mr. BLANK, returned to Cairo with his friend, Mr. CROMPTON, on the 15. h of last May, after a journey across the desert, wtfch was attended with a good deal of hardship, from the want of wits and from the excessive heat. They had pursued the route of Moms and the braeliteg,_ and travelling pith the Book of Exodus in their hands, had reached Mount Sinai. They drank their coffee on the spot where Mons received the DecAlogue, visited the cave in which ELIJAH had taken refuge at Horeb, and placed tberti selves on the stone whereon Moses sat when his hands were lifted up whilst Israel fought against Amalek. They discovered alto several caves contairing curious objects of antiquity, not hitherto known nor visited by - any traveller, On their return to Cairo they were pre paring to start for Jerusalem and Damascus. We hope to be gratified with further particulars of these interesting travellers. The Translation of the Fifth and &Eh Volumes of Madame de Geolie Memoirs will appear about the First at September. The severnloiatements nf tbc departure from town of Captain Cr....wastto g, f intrepid interior traveller received his final instructions from the Secretary of State's Office for the Colonieson Thursday, and lift town the same evening for Portsmouth, where he will directly em bark on board the BRAZEN frigate, Capt. WILLEs, for the Bight of Benin. In the hazardous journey of es ploring his way to Sockatoo, he will be accompanied by Mr. DICKSON. who proceeds in the capacity of sur geon and naturalist, and by Captain ROBERT NANCE and Dr. MORRISON. On reaclling the interior, the two latter .Officers proceed to the lake Tsad, and after in specting its various coasts, will pursue an eastern course towards Abyssinia. From all information hitherto re ceived, there is strong reason to suppose that the Niger, or Joliba, falls into the sea somewhere in the vicinity of the Bight of Benin, and is not connected with the Nile, as hitherto has been conjectured. Sanguine hopes are entertained that Captain CLAPPERTON and his adven turous partners may reach Timbuctoo Lefore Major Lama, whose departure took place about six months since, by the route of Tripoli. The present mission has the intention of opening a new channel for the exten sion of bur commerce. Thursday afternoon, as Sir ALFRED and Lady Mon- Taoue, accompanied by BOLTON STRETCH, Esq. were proceeding for Brighton, in an open carriage and four, the leaders, while going at a very rapid rate dOwn hill at the other side of Brixton, became frightened and unmanageable at the sudden falling of a boy's kite before the animals' heads, by which the Carriage came against a waggon, and was overturned. We regret to say, that Sir ALFRED had his arm fractured below the elbow. Most fortunately her Ladyship and Mr. STRETCH sustained no injury. The two servants who sat behind, one her Ladyship's maid, escaped with a few slight bruises. Sir A. and 'Lady MOSTA. GUS are returned to their house in the Regent's Park. CHILD KILLED BY BEER.—A Mr. Heaps, a sales man, of Leeds, has a small brew-house in a retirel part of Headingley, where he had some briCklayers employed on Saturday. In a dwelling adjoining the above, a tanner, of the name of Richard Archer, who works in Mr. Shipley's tan-yard, at a short distance, resides, and had, until the circumstance we are about to relate, a family consisting of a wife and two chil dren. One of the latter is it infant; the other, a fine boy about six years old; went into the brewhouse on Saturday, while the bricklayers were there, and they having some beer to drink, gave the child about a pint of it. In the course of the evening, the boy became unwell, and about twelve o'clock on Saturday night his illness assumed the most alarming sympton.s. Medical assistance was then obtained, but every effort to save his life proved vain, and he expired on Sunday morning. The child was previously healthy, and his sudden death, from no assignable cause but drinking a larger quantity of beer than certainly ought to have been given him, naturally excited great astonishment in the village, and a Coroner's Inquest was accordingly summoned on Monday, and the circumstances of the case minutely examined, but the Jury have not yet come to a decision. Mr. - Heaps makes the beer at Headirgley, which he retails in Leeds. What the child drank is sold at fourpence per.pint, had been brewed 'rom two quartets of malt, with sixteen pounds of .cups, and was what is termed the' 4 first coming 011." Several highway robberies have been cominitted within the last fortnight; in the neighbourhood of Winchester. • Ithe ll tite by. lo ts Poot . .1 thtl Kith 110 11 rrvi 3:.
