GREECE. TRIESTE, JUNE 20. The Seraskier, Dervish Vacha, has attempted to sig nalise the commencement of his command by a decisive blow. He marched to force the Thermopyla. He madi a bold attack, but having completely failed, he was obliged to retreat to Larissa, where he expected rein forcements from Romelia. Hostilities were to have commenced between Con stantine l3nzzaris and the Pacha.eif Scutari. We cannot be doubtful respecting their issue, since the GI eek Com mander has remained master-Oldie country, sending out parties in all di; ections, to the distance of ten and even twenty leagues. Maurocoi dato was making a flank movement with a body of chosen troops, to attack the corps of Omer Vrione. He will continue his opera tions with those of Nicetas, who has received orders to penetrate through Livadia into Thessaly. They are to, effect th eir junction in the middle of the latter province.) The Greeks intend also to snake an expedition VI ith a view to expel the Turks from the places which they bold in Macedonia. • Odysseus, in the Isle of Negropont, has received re inforcements which will enable him to repel any attempt by the Capitan Pacha. In general, the new campaign, which is just begun, appears likely to be much more sanguinary than the preceding, from the considerable forces which both parties have on foot. MADEIRA. It appears by the following letter, from Madeira, that when intelligence reached that island, of the attempt made in Portugal by the Prince Don Miguel, to bring about a counter-revolution, a corresponding feeling was thereby excited among a party there , but who were put down by the prompt conduct of the Governor MADZISA, MAY 26, 1824. a We arrived here last Monday, after a delightful passage of nine days from Spithead, without starting a sheet ; and as a circumstance of some interest has oc curred here, I shall not hesitate in sending you the par ticulars. Upon approaching the Anchorage, we were surprised at the batteries opening a fire, but soon dis covered it to be a salute, and naturally concluded it was in consequence of some festival or birth-day. Upon anchoring, the Pratique Master boarded us, and we then learnt that the young Prince of Portugal had displayed symptoms of insurrection, and gave an opportunity to the disaffected here to make a stir, but which, from the firm conduct of the Governor, was soon quelled. Mur-, murs still continued, and it was reported the troops, or part of them, viz. the 7th, a regiment lately from Lis bon, intended to rise on Monday; but it is imagined the appearance of a ship of war for a moment put a stop to these operations; but this is only conjecture: be it as it may, two of the officers are thrown into prison, and some of the men have been severely punished. The Go vernor (a relation of the King of Portugal,) quite a young man, is delighted at the issue of the affair at Lisbon, but in which he is not so cordially joined by the . Church and the Head of the Army as he might have expected ; and both the Bishop and the Commander-in- Chief are looked upon with a very suspicious eye : nor is it expected that all is over yet, but which will en tirely depend upon the movements at Lisbon. People here are in consequence a little upon the gui live. Sa lutes, festivals, reviews, illuminations, and balls, are kept up, demonstrative of the loyalty of Madeira; at the same time a sharp look-out is kept in the suspected, quarter. A vast deal more has occurred than will meet the public eye, and, without great caution and firm ness, another explosion is looked for. I was present at a ball last night, given by the Governor, where I met all the heads of departments, and had pointed out to me those characters who were looked upon with an eye of suspicion ; nor was there much ceremony observed in doing so. The display far exceeded in splendour what I had any idea of." THE EVENING STAR. LON DON. MONDAY, JULY 12, 1824. THE FUNDS. STOCK EXCHANGE. TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The goods which for many years past were valued' in the general tariff at prices which, in the course of time, have become inferior to the value of the goods, and were afterwards valued according to the fifth clause of the said general tariff, confirmed by my Royal Decree Of the 14th of February, 1782, shall be charged according to the last values declared, conformably to the annexed table, signed by the Conde da Povoa, Mi nister of Finance. 4, The trans-shipment (6aldeacaoes)made in any port of these kingdoms of hats of Braga for Lisbon, whether, for use in the kingdom, or for exportation from this port to some other in the Colonies, or in a foreign coun try, shall be allowed without any payment of duties. 5.

Jorre 25.—His Majesty, by a Decree, has established the Bank of Lisbon for thirty years. Jtraz 28.—The King orders that the proceedings in stituted against persons for their political opinions, shall be accelerated as much as possible, that all those who are entitled to the benefits of the amnesty may not be kept in suspense, but may enjoy it without delay. We have received the French Papers of Friday,' with the Etoik of Saturday.—The discussion of the Budget for 1825 was closed on Thursday last, in the Chamber of Deputies; and on Friday, the Reporter, M. de Fru- NILLY, answered all the arguments which had been used against the law, and persisted in proposing its adoption. In the course of the debate, an Ultra orator, M. FERDINAND Bummers, charged the French Admi nistration with acting under the influence of our Go vernment. He wished, he said, " to see France less subject to the policy of a Power which is her eternal rival," and recommended a more strict conformity to the principles of the Holy Alliance. After complaining that the monarchical principle had not sufficiently triumphed in Spain and Portugal, he proceeded to make a series of insinuations respecting the designs of the British Cabinet on Spain and Portu gal; among the rest, that it is wished to employ the credit of France to impose our institutions on Spain ; and that endeavours are made to induce the French Cabinet to favour the delusion of a grand league of the European Constitutional Governments, including Spain, which is to be brought into that class, and the Revolutionary Governments of America, against the Monarchical Governments and the Holy Alliance. Ab surd as this speech was, it was much applauded. The Quotidian's has published a letter, addressed by the Arch-. bishop of Tour-miss to oae of his colleagues, who had applied to /gm to know whether he bad received a Circular from the Minister of the Interior, requiring from the superiors and professors of semi naries their adhesion to the declaration of the Clergy of France in 1682? The Archbishop replies, that he bad received the Minister's letter twice over, but had returned no answer; and states his objections to the declaration, the principal of which are, that the civil power has no right to lay down to Bishops what they should prescribe with regard to instruction in th e i r seminaries, ani that the measure, which is a fresh attack on the rights of Bishops, would displease the Court of Rome. The declaration referred to, and which it appears the Archbishop and others of the French clergy reject, was drawn up by the cele brated Bossusy, adopted by an assembly of the Deputies of the Clergy in 1682, and sanctioned by Louts XIV. It embraces the four following propositions—viz. I. That the Pors has no authority in the temporal affairs of Kings. S. That the Council is superior to the Pon, as is recognized in the fourth and fifth sessions of the Council of Constance. 3. That the apostolic power ought to be exercised in regulating the Canons, without infringing the liberties of the Gallican Church. 4. That it belongs chiefly to the Pore to decide in matters of faith; that his decrees are obligatory on all ' churches; but that nevertheless his decisions are sot irrefirmable until after the Church has accepted them. Charleston Papers have been received to the 13th of June. One of them states that the schooner Eclipse arrived in nine days from Laguira. Captain HATH WAY reported no news from the Patriot or Royalist ar mies. It was understood at Laguira that General Sou-' BLETTY had been appointed Minister and Envoy Extra ordinary from the Colombian Government to the Cour► of St. James's. _ .....r. . . >., , . •—• , ‘•• 4 lvPlifficatrig . * • gm • .7 THEATRE, HAYAMAXET4 - ; " ""'!-.. . .13oCordiffieltolog the of 4.oiiii. 4! ins performed.

There were twenty other indictments against the prisoner, for of fences committed from £Bl7 up to last September, to all of which he pleaded under the Statute, which was allowed. To the present, which stated the offence to have been after the 23d September, he pleaded Nut Guilty. Mr. C.

This morning the remains of Lord Byron were removed from , the house of Sir Edward Knatchbull, in Great George-street, where they have lain in state since Friday, in order to convey them to Hucknell, in Nottinghamshire, where the family vault was reserved when the great uncle of Lord Byron sold the Hucknell estate. The procession, which left Great George-street at half past 11 o'clock, was marshalled in the following order : Mr. Lee, the High Constable of Westminster.

Lady Byron has not seen the remains of her deceased Lord, as was stated some days ago. • The neighbourhood of Whitehall and Great George-street, as *4 as the streets throughwhich the procession passed,were crowded with spectators, who expressed deep regret that this illustrious poet had been cut off in the bloom of life, and at a moment when be was engaged In the noble cause of rescuing Greece from the thral dom of the Turks.

N. then came on board the steam-vessel, "here ti were received by the Lord Provost, Magistrates, and Ceuetil, • a the Judicial and Civil Officers of the Corporation, the Sheriff e County, and the Magistrates of Gorbals, Greenock and Glasgote ; when, after the 'mal compliments, the Lord Proves!. s, a neat speech, informed the Duke, that although his Grace's ete. t. petted arrival in this part of the country had not admitted of ta t usual previous formalities, the Magistrates and Council had etc* mously resolved that morning to present to hie Grace 'he I:rec.:oas e s the City of Glasgow; that fur many years past the Magistracy had conferred the privileg es of au Honorary Burgos e' enly few ill.- tinguished individuas, the only instance, since his Lordship w a Member of Council, being that of Prince Etta - hazy, Li e illustrious Representative of the Emperor of Austria; and that, on the present occasion, the Magistrates and Ceencil felt peculiar satisfaction in requesting his Grace's acceptance of tau municipal gift, not only as a small mark of the grateful sense they entertained of the interest his Grace had kindly takea in the pre sperity of Glasgow,but also in teatimony of their hi,h respect the character of a Nobleman who was at or.ce tke friend of Sovereign and of his country ; who, on all occasions, evinced liberal zeal in the promotiOn of art and science, and who was pr.._ eminently distinguished, by the dignified example he set, of a great patriotic landlord, uniformly attentive to the welfare, and possesses; the affectionate attachment, of his very numerous tenants. In reply, the Duke of Buckingham stated, that as he was to:slle unaware of the honour intended to be done to him, he was 'unprepared with any formal speech ; but that he trusted the iaar words he had to say would not be the less acceptable, as they can - from the heart; that, in his public conduct, he had felt it his :hey to endeavour to promote the best interests of the people, and :a support the Constitution of the country as by law established, Bpi the monarchical principles of that Constitution in which he le a • been educated, and in the malatenance of which; he trusted, he would die; that, in pursuing such conduct, he had no doubt Le would ever receive the approbation and support of so highly re spectable a body of Gentlemen as those whom he now ad,liessA ; that, independently of the consideration of the Freedom of the Cc? of Glasgow having been rarely conferred except upon illustrious: . .. reigners, he begged to assure the Lord Provost and other Geht:e men of the Corporation, be entertained the deepest sense of the great honour so unexpectedly conferred upon bins ; that he felt peculiar gratification in thus becoming more intimately connected with lute of the first cities of the Empire, so highly distinguished for its coo. mercial greatness, and that he would ever consider this as one of the proudest days of his life.

The Duke then drank to the health and prosperity of his fellow-citizens, and rtturnad is his yacht amid the cheers and heartfelt congratulations of the G:s. tiemen assembled.

The Chhlese Lady, Ynou Funs <bran, died on Friday last, 2 her apartments, No. 94, Pall-mall Thb elegant and accomplished female was of distinguished rink in her own country, as must have been °belays to all who had tr.: pleasure of her acquaintance, from her lady-like manners and e a s y graceful demeanour. Consi derable mystery hangs over the cir cumstances of her departure from the Celestial Enipire: and this is not surprising, when we consider the strictness of the Chinese law. against expatriation. She, however, was accompanied to lenglAnd by her husband, and also by her brother. The latter hid preriuuslf visited this country, and resided several weeks at an hotel in bir die), wearing the costume and adopting the manners of au Eugh , li Gentleman ; and it would seem that his report of a country so un like their own had excited in his sistet and her Milhaud a desire is visit this distant region. Unfortunately they had nut sufficiently calculated ott the effect which might be produced by difference of climate, food, and habits of life, and particularly by the diffaret pressure Of the atmospllere. This last cause appears to have ope rated very powerfully on the pulmonary system of both Initiate and wife. The husband was first affected with a spitting cf blood, Which was equally sudden and violent; and though it was stopped for a day or two by judicious remedies, it broke out again with a violence which no medicine could arrest, and put an end to the un fortunate Chinese Gentleman in a very few day,. The Lady become more gradually sensible Of the pernicious effects of the climate. She, however, at length began to spit blood, and Dr. WIIISTIM of Grosvenor-street, was Call e d in ; b u t he found her lungs already much affected; and the disease advanced with such rapidity as to baffle all medical art; The Chinese, it seems, do not rely solely on the skill of their physi c i am t. They resort to the sacrifice of fowls and other small animals, anekthrow ing the blood in the faces of their idols, collect from this ifid from other supetstitaus ceremonies, the omens of recovery or death.— ' These omens varied, and the hope* and fears of the Chinese Lady and her friends varied with them, until the morning preceding her dissolution, when she awoke with a cheerful air, saying she had seen her husband, who had ordered her to come to him, and there fore she knew she must die—an event which accordingly wok place not many hOurs afterwards. You Puna Qbaost was about twenty years of age, rather fair; bet with long glossy black hair. Her features were cast in the Tartarlan mould, but were regular and far from unpleatiant. Jr.. deed she might be said to be beautiful, setting aside local prejudices: at.least, the expression of her countenance was pleasing, and be spoke gentleness and tourtesy, mixed with a modest reserve. She had the literary attainments of her country, and used to base Chinese books read to het by her attendants. There was an intel ligence in her look, and she was extremely observant of every thing peculiar in the habits and manners of the itidividuals whom she bad occasion to see, never failing to remark any little change in their appearance, dress, &c. and to inquire the cause of it. Thus, if a female appeared before her one day with. and the next without a shawl, or if a Gentleman had at one One a geld chain and seal to his watch, and at another time a mere watts ribbon, she would inquire what was the reason of these changes — whether it was owing to anything peculiar in the character ut the day—if the individual bad been at any ceremony which required a particular dress, or the like ? Her own attire was always nest tutu elegant, and in the fashion of her country; and many of the a r tiqrs of it were elegantly embroidered by her own hand. She wkiie .10 under robe of the finest Chinese taffeta, a cloak finely ornamented with needle-work on the collar and sleeves, and rich bracelets of gold with agate cornelian, and other precious stones. Her nails (which is an indubitable mark of gentility in China), were suffered to grow to a most inconvenient length, and her foot was most in credibly small. Such were the personal appearance and manners of Yams Fese Qom': it is much• to be lamented that this accomplished and in falsest Issaale did not live to carry back to her countrymen the nalik Ober observations on English life and manners. She is the se of her sex nho has ever ventured on so distant a voyage, appears to have been remarkably well qualified for olpterv billaii communicating whatever she met with worthy of notice.
