• . • lass of dtie ileople 'cook a decided pait in fivotir Of . t he Prime% who is univers*lly beloved. They* repaired . in a crowd to the allovementioned estate, took out the bones from the eirringe, 4iliich was ready to proceed further, and brought the carriage with the Duchess in it, is triumph back to the capitil. Thej then forced an entrance into the Prince's Palace, whither the fivourite bad retreated, and demanded both that proper satisfac tion should be made to the Princess, and that the (a main: should be given up. -It is reported that the Duke himself was so pressed on lsy the crowd, that he Was obljged to take hold of one • o f the-leaders to make way through them : it is added, that the military shelved no great zeal in dispersing the efolid, and that in the end tranquillity was restpred by some member of the Assembly of the State, and some • Magistrates, who came up in time. What happened is not stated; but it is affirmed that the liffair"will be laid before the Diet. This fotenoon we received Brussels Papers to the 12th inst. One of them contains extracts from• The Sasyrneen, a Journal remarkable for its hostility to wards the Greeks, in whith their success at Ipsara is represented as nothing. The same Journal contains a flaming account of the expedition fitting out by the vt Nicer o ny of Egypt. It is said to consist of 25,000 men, ;l us far slaughter and conquest," commanded by ll,apassi.PACHA, son of the Viceroy. The following are extracts : BRUSSELS, SEPTEMBER 10. The Prince and PI incess of Orange, with their nu merous suite. arrived at Liege on the Bth, in the morn ing. The Prince stopped but a few minutes, ,and proceeded on the way to Cologne. The Princess stop ped at Liege for the night, and set ,out for Cologne the next morning. A private letter from Paris, dated the 7th, has the following passage :4 4 Great reductions are making here in the sever al offices ; it seems that the first, or ra ther only Miniiter, intends to appear at the next Session of the Chambers with a Budget greatly diminished.— Other persons.pretend that a fund- is accumulating, to recitapense the tractable Deputies, or to render so those who are not so already. Unfortunately, the reductions fall on the small salaries, and spate the large ones. A father of a family', who is clerk in an office, for instance, with a salary of 1,200 francs, is reduced to 1,000, while the head of the office suffers no diminution." The new Smyrna Journal (The Smyrnean) in its number of the 2d of August, gives an account of the re-appearance of the Greeks at Ipsara, which reduces the advantages said to be gained by them to nothing. The Turks in the island, it says, descrying the Greek fleet as it approached, had time to embark with all their effects for Scio and Mitylenei leaving only some small vessels, which the Greeks, who arrived some hours later, burnt. Three or four days after the Ottoman fleet appeared, on which the Creeks withdrew to the distance of some miles from the island, and, on the 22d July, the fleets remained in sight of each other. The sable Journal has a letter from Alexandria, dated the 4th July . 44 The plague hat ceased at Cairo. Some cases now and then occur to alarm our city, but we hope to be soon relieved Irons this dreadful scourge. Alexandria has the appearance of a town in time of war. We are crowded with soldiers and sailors, who are eager for slaughter and conquest. The strictest discipline pre vails among the Egyptian troops. " The conqueror of the Wechabites, Ibrahim Paths, son of the Viceroy, is General-in-Chief of this fine army. With much prudence and firmness he unites a diffidence of himself which makes him listen with pleasure to the tounseli that are given him. Like'his father, be is very fond of Europeans. Ibrahim Pacha will be accompanied by 16,000 Infantry, 4000 Cavalry, and 5000 Alba. runs,; two hundred transports are to receive the provi: lions necessary for the army, a park of artillery, and de horses. The rendezvous is at Mani, in Caratnanisa The Commander-in-Chief is accompanied by a great number of European Officers, particularly a number of Philhellenes, who, disgusted with the service of the Greeks, bad retired to Egypt. To these preparations the Viceroy has added a rely rich military chest, that Ibrahim Pacha may be able to procure whatever he thinks proper." • • FRANKFORT, SEPTEMBER S. The, Regency of the Bavarian Circle of the Rhine, has addressed a circular note to all the tribunals of the country, to the effect—that, "Considering that the good which the Clergy are 'able ti .effect in the exei cise of their functions, depends almost entirely on the de gree of suppoit which they receive from the Civil autho lities,ihey are enjoined to give ill possible support to the Clergy of all the different Christian confessions in the exercise of their functions." The Vising Gentle contains a pretty numerous pro motion in the Austrian army. FRANKFORT. SEPTEMBER 4. Two Russian Rabbis, named Goldberg and Samson, have just abjured at Berlin, and embraced the Protes tant faith—the King of Prussia was the sponsor. It was generally believed at St. Petersburgh, that the evacuation of Moldavia and Wallachia had taken place towards the end of July. People were surprised, how ever, that the Russian Government had published no thing on the subject. Letters from the Buckowina, Transylvania, and even from Wallachia, make no men u:el of this evacuation, and even state circumstances which prove that it is by no means likely to be soon effected. Hence it seems, that the newt spread at St. . Petersburgh is unfounded ; and if the Russian Govern :lent has publiihed nothing relative to it, this is because t was well informed of the real state of things. It seems that Me. Ribeaupierre l . who is to be the eewl i -.......ai11imi --,m_VkL l• .4, 4,.. ~wofi'i Russian Minister to the Porte, will not depart as soon as was expected at St. POW:411)14h. Letters from than capital say that Count Nesseirixle is eittreinelyoccupled not a day passes that he does not dispatch couriers .to Vieina, Berlin, London, Paris, and Madrid. Tin 'Car vespottdence Between St. Petersborgh and Odesai is likewise extremely active, because it is through the lit ter place thit the Cabinet of St. Petersburgb receive the dispatchett sent froth Constantinople, both by M. Mintiacky and by the Austrian Internuncio, Baron Ot- tenfels. Letters have been received from Gibraltar, dated August 20, 'which state that business was exceedingly dull there, and that the late movement of VALDES had made things much worse. A Russian frigate arrived at Gibraltar on the 18th, in ten days from Brest, and was still lying there when the letters left. Her destina- . tion was kept a profound secret. The weather was dreadfully hot at Gibraltar and the neighbourhobd ; but owing to the excellent regulations of the Governor; no cases of fever had shewn themselves. , Private accounts brought by the Active, Captain Pt. TUNCS, which arrived at Plymouth on Thursday, in seventy-nine days from Capt Coast Castle, state that great distte,s was felt for want of provisions, and that troops and bread 'were anxieuily expected. Oaly fifty British troops survived at the time the Active sailed, and they were destroying the town, in order to prevent the Ashantees from shelteripg themselves among the houses, from the fire of the Castle, should they venture upon attacking it. An arrival from Port au Prince his brought us Papers and letters to the beginning of August. They state that 'the Haytian Government had received dis patches frOm the Commissioners in France, apprisihg it of the insidious propositions made to them by the French Ministers, and of the probability of the negotiation coming to a speedy rupture In consequence of this information the PRESIDENT renewed the orders issued some months ago, for putting the posts and fortresses in a complete state of defence, for maintaining the troops of the line at their full establishment, and for the effective organization of the National Guard,. To the decree republished on this occasion is prefixed a spirited proclamation, which will be found in a preceding column. THE KING. WINDSOR, Styr. 12.—Yesterday his • MAJIIITY, at tended by his suite, arrived at the Castle, from the Royal LAdge, in two carriages and four, to afford an inter view to the principal Officers of the suite of the late Bing and Queen of the Sandwich Islands, who arrived here from London for that purpose. They went all over Windsor Castle, and expressed their surprise at the grandeur of that fine building. Afterwards the Krim returned to the Royal Lodge, and the suite of their late Sandwich Majesties returned to Loudon in two car riager ►ery much gratified. ' During the last week his KAMM has taken an airing every, day.—This day the two bands played to a numerous assemblage of company on the Terrace. ENTERTAINMENT ON BOARD THE VICTORY.

DItATH FROM THE BITE OF A CaT,Tuesday, Thm.l Horsfield, a tailor, residing at Cottage-place, Hewing ton, died of hydrophobia, produced by the bite of a mad cat.' About eight weeks ago, while he was at work in his shop, a neighbour's eat, which was suspected to be in a rabid state, ran into his house, _followed by two or three persons, and,although he was warned that she was mad, he left his work and walked over to the corner into which the animal had crouched herself, and proceeded to rub down her back and fondle with her, in order to convince those present that they were mis taken, and that poor puss was only a little out of tem per. He, however, had not caressed her many seconds before she seized the fleshy part of his right hand with 'her-teeth, The poor fellow has left a rife and three children totally unprovided for. •/ ~L~.. • • • • . ...

" Exact:mon AT Waawrec.—Friday morning a great concjurse of -people assembled in front of the county gaol to witness the execution of George Pitchford, who . was convicted of coining base money at the last Assizes there. We uncle:stand that from the first moment of his committal to gad, he bad conducted himself in the most exemplary manner'; and since the arrival of the warrant for his execution, he had been entirely occupied in devotional .exercises, and made the ,best use of the , short pet iod he had to live. He met his fate with gt eat Ifortitude, and acknowledged the justness of his sen tence. Everything at - 11 o'clock being properly ad justed, the drop fell, and he was launched into eternity, apparently without the least struggle. - Pitchford had been a private soldier in two or three Regiments. Monday, a battle was fought on Wessington Green, near Alfreton, for five guineas, between John Goose, of Pulwell, a young man about twenty years of age, and a Derbyshire man, whoie name we have not beard. The battle lasted for some time, when Goose fell down, 'and the other, in tumbling over him, pitched upon hi , (Goose's) stomach, and caused the young man's death in the course of a few minutes. -,.~.. • - _ F• .../ . • • ~;.r ‘ IJ - ••• 'la. •r. . . • . ‘.

Mr. Pink ne y was' 'an agent to the London Lead COmpany. and employed in their Mines, near Mid:. dleton, in this comity; be was also a local preacher in the Metho dist connection, and generally respected. In riding from the mines towards the 'toren of Middleton, in Teesdale, in company with Mr. John Elliott, another agent, poor Phaltney and his horse were *reek by the electric fluid, and both instantly deprived of life.- The following particulars. of the awful tvent were stated before the Coroner by mt. Elliott: . • Ileponent and John Pipkney were riding in company towards Iliithileton, in the afternoon of Thursday, the 24 of September Latent, about four o'clock in the afternoon ; deponent mounted on a mule, and Pinkney (the deeeased) on a baymars. When' about two miles from•bliddleton, a thunder storm commenced, which ' increased - till they had advanced within half a mile of that place, when a remarkablyervid flash of lightning passed deponent's face ' so near, that he felt its great heat. His mule being alarmed, im ., ediately sprang forward, and deponent, on looking back for de,. teased, saw him; together with his mare, lying on the Around. De ponent immediately alighted, and called for assistance. when John Balla and Jacob Tarn; and a boy or two, came from a neighbour ing house, and helped to lift deceased op. He appeared to bt quite dead, and his mare also. The body of Plnkney was soon after wards removed to his own house. A short time before be was ' struck, deceased observed, in athiscon to the lightning, that " he had never before seen anything so beautiful." [The hat of the unfortunate man was produced before the Jury. It was much tarsal:id jagged in the front of thee crown and brim, and a small perforation appeared in the back tart of the arisen, shewingebat the electric fluid bad passed through his • head. The breast of the mare, it was stated. had a putrid appearance.] The evidence of Mr. Elliott being deemed conclusive, no otber person was examined, and the Jury returned the following verdict : " That John Pk4asey (the deceased), on the 24 day of September instant, while riding in company.wlth one John Elliott, in a thunder storm, was, by the visitation of Gots, suddenly struck with electric fluid, by means whereof he received a violent shock in his head and different parts of his body, which caused his instant death." Mr. Piukney has left a widow, far advanced in pregitancy, and five young children, to mourn his melancholy fate. At Barnard-Castle, the Poor-house was struck by the, lightning, which passed through thtee or four rooms, the4loor of one of which was partly torn up by it; and a girl in the same, or one of the other apartments, reteieed se violent a shock as to deprive her of the power of speech for some time afterwards. In the oeighbOurbood of Piercebridge, two horses, which were drawing carts under the chargt of one drivel', were both struck down, but soon recovered. The driver received no injury. .: - Near to blidtUeton-ooe-roes.;most rernark.ble instance of mira culous preservation is stated to have taken, place. A boy, who had been gleanifig in a corn field, *as teturhing homeward during the storm, mounted on an ass, apd bearing his gleanings on his' head, when a flash of lightning deprived hii stied of its existence, and set the gleanings on Sr., without in any degree doing injury to the boy.-Dunkain dainty Aftheergser. • • SPORTING I NII; L LIG ENCE.
