We yesterday not.ced the fall of Trippolizza, after con tinued defeats of the Greeks, as related in the French Papers ; to-day, if we are to believe an article from Zante, of the 3d ult. in the Brussels ()rack of Monday, which we have received, IBRAHIM PACHA has since been defeated, and that he is on the point of being surrounded by 20,000 Greeks. The same Paper contains an account also of two naval victories. one by Biteuats, near Milos, when, out of 27 vessels, he is said to have taken It, and driven the rest into the port of Suds. The second victory Is said to have been gained by the united fleets of Mucus and Secneuay,off that pat, on the 25th of June, where the Turks lost a corvette of 32-guns, and some other vessels.... We must wait for a confirmed= of this news, for although there is to doubt of the supremacy of the Greeks at sea, yet the vessels which from time to time they are represented to have destroyed since the commencement of the war, would not only outnumber the Turkish navy, but all the navies of Europe. With this qualifies. ti an, we insert the article from the Brands Oracle • . • . IsmallieWalmows~~ !t • ZANTE JULY 5. Aitniral Manila, who was observing the Egyptian fleet at 3ucia, learning that the 2d division, under Sachtury, was going to attack the Capt. Pacha near Andros, hastened to cooperate in this dzdsive engagement, but Sacbtury had already accomplished this' task. Topal Pacba bad lied, and his Sect was dispersed in the greatest *disorder. Miaulis, meeting near Milos 27 vessels of slit frrent sizes, which were retreating, he attacked them with Ms usual ardour—took twelve, and pursued the rest into the port of .;:ada : the two Greek divisions cruised before that harbour till the 231 of June, watching all the motions of the enemy, who was coieavouring to repair his ships. On that day the two combined fwets appeared at the mouth of the harbour of Suds, having on 11.sard 3000 Egyptians. whom they were to land at Modon, to rtinfarce the army of Ibrahim Paella. The enemy's vessels were only a few leagues from the port, when the Greeks attacked them vigorously, and launched their fire•ships. The enemy made but a feeble resistance to this attack, and after I•a•:ing lost a corvette of 32 guns, and put of hisibips,Vut back, and hastated to regain the harbour of Soda. The last letters from the Peioponessus assert that Ibrahim Pasha, after the defeat which he experienced near Tripelixsa, is s-rrounded on all sides by above 20,000 Greeks. It is certain that Captain Coliopoulo, after having destroyed the Egyptian columns ♦which had entered Arcadia, is advancing rapidly along the seacoast, upon its road to lelodon. This forenoon we received German Papers to the 33th . instant. One of them, the Nuremberg Corres pondent, contains some conjectures on the formation of the catiip in the South of France, very similar to those which have appeaied in some of Our own Journals. Deprecating, as we did, and must dp, the invasion of Spain by France, and acknowledging that the continhefi occupation of the country is a continuance of the original aggression, yet it cannot be denied but, that on the score of humanity. it has been useful in restraining the various factions from touring each other to'pleces. We confess we have no fears as to the new French camp, for crippled as France is in her finan cial operations. she must be anxious to relieve herself from the bUrden of expense which the occupation of Spain entails on her is soon as it can be dune with safety. from that imaginary danger she dreaded vilien Spain was invaded. The following is the article to wticb we have alluded : NUREIO3t7R9, JULY 26. A latter from the Banks of the Uhl*. 17th July, has the fol. lowing. observations " novels the assembly of the troops in the departments of the Last and Wesi Pyrenees, is represented at Pbris as nothing bui an ordinary edlitary arrangement for the increase and inspection of tl:e Regiments, it is certain that It is looked urc4: in a %try different !:4Lt iu Vat: departments. The ntinber of these troop will be more cor.aidariale than was at first ,stated. Inspectors are ir.deed ecpected, who are to superintend the flevielys ; but when these are over, the troops wit still remain in theirincainpments, and be placed in such a state of . preparailons that they will be able to march at the first order. • " Th;s order is of course dependent on the turn which the affairs of Spain may take; but if we consider the state of that country as it is represented, both in letters and verbal accounts of persons coming from it, we must be convinced that our Government acts with great wisdoms in assembling this corps. All the accounts thew the progress of the intrigues carrying on, which will probably be fol lowed by sonic severe measures. The Spanish Ultras will not renounce the preponderance of which it is intended to deprive them, but will maintain it by every means in their power. This is the real state of the case. The Ultra party is endeavouring to overthrow the hlinistry and its new system, and thinks to effect it by employ ing the means It has at command. A civil war is, therefore, con sidered to be almost inevitable. Should things cone to this, the French army in Spain must be reinforced, and this is the reason for the assembling of the troops." The Paris Papers of Tuesday contain a Royal Or do.,nance for carrying into effect a former Ordonnanee relative to the conversion of the five per cents. For this purpose, the present Ordonnance directs the appoint. ment of a Commission, charged to declare the number and amount the inscriptions of five per cent. Reates. tl:e conversion of which into three per cents. shall have been called for at the date of the sth of August. On hat day, at midnight, the Crimmissioners are directed to close the registratir n of the assents to the co-iversion. A letter !rom Paris states, that the French Government has agreed to recognize the independence of St. Do. ming°, and that Captain MACHA uvr. the commander of a ship of war, has sailed with a treaty, whirl] SOIL be returned ratified *by the Pre.ident BOYER. 1 . 0 1 Hay tian Republic pays, it is said, a very large sum 'for this recognition. Thar QuWidienne publishes a long private letter from Madrid, , dated July nt, which states that Messrs. Zct and Cotostratax con ' tinued to balance each other in the Kasio's fayour;—that all efforts at raising loans bad proved ineffectual; and that ruinous modes of g the Treasury had been adopted. Amongst these the follow ing is given as an example :—" A license has just been granted 'to one Gamut, contractor for the bull tights and a dealer in oxen, for t be sum of ten millions of teals, four in money arid six in bills of ei c bange on himself, authorising him to import into Spain in foreign v curls, six hundred tons of English manufactured cotton goods . free of. duty. It is estimated that Gavtatr► and his aseoefates (sup posed to be three in number), will gain ten millions each." Many complaints are also made of the preference given to English Traders and Contractors over those of other nations ; and a hint is added, that the object of the troops assembled on the French frontiers is to strengthen tie party of Mr. Za►, and to secure Its ulti• maze triumph. The following on the subject of the Renter, is from the Pilote of Monday PARIS, AUGUST 1. If the holders of Resin consulting their own interest, have eon. sented to a voluntary conversion,the speculators have changed theisi sy.tem, and instead of speculating for a fall, now take anothei direction. The Government on their part by procuring a great rls., lief to the taxes, have felt the impulse of public °pink& Last year, when they were prepared fur the reimbursement, the law of reduction was rejected. One of the motives for which was, the speculation which this measure would occasion. The Govern. mint this 7sar has Proposed a voluntary. eommesion at the Remise. which is defeated by the enemies of our national prosperity; and h will be obliged to borrow for the reimbursement; but the owed.. Lion say that the redemption is impossible ; ovr reply is, that the funds to put it in force are ready. The Syndic of the Receivers.f3eneral have a capital of SO mil lions ready to assist the holders of Rents,. Admitting a difference of five per cent. the Syndic can put at once into action a capital of 600 millions, and thus prevent all chance of failure of the plans of Government. His Royal Highness the Duke of Yortz entertained a distinguished party during Brighton Races, at the Pa vili m, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Duke and Duchess of Rutland, Mrs. L. Fox, Major Bulkelay, :largo's of Worcester, Sir John Shelley, Hon. G. Forester, Hon. A. De Roos, &c. Ste. The Royal Party walked on the Pier most days. On the days of the Races, the Duchess of Runase i and Mrs. Lars Fos, ac companied by the Duke of Rost.aun and Major BULIELIT, drove in his Royal Highness's barouche to the Course ; on horseback followed Colonel Rossr.it., Mr. Duticoseas, Mr. Anson, Etc. In addition to this party, several fashionables were invited as the day of the Race for the Cup, to have the honour of dining at the Pavilion—the Duke and Duchess of Ricatmoso, Mr. Duneosaas, Mr. Ram, and the Comte de Vomits. His Royal Highness the Duke of Yost has given Majw. Bost LIT (of his own Regiment, the Grenadier Guards) a Staff Appoint ment in the Southern District. A Mreting of the New Catholic Association was held at the Corn Exchange, Dublin, on Saturday, Counsellor O'Batxx in the Chair. Mr. ts'ltatwr la giving notice of a motion for appoint• hat two persons in every parish, to collect subscrlpsiosa, and com municate observations to the Association, said, it was the'opinion of every Lawyer in England that such a course was perfectly legal. It was stated that the Association now consisted of _l5l Members. Saturday, a man fell into the Liffey at full tide, and was on the point of sinking, when a Gentleman, 'named Oann, leaped in and supported the exhausted man until a boat arrived to his assistance. Friday nmrning a duel took place in the neighbour hood of Killarney, between Mr. CRUM! ' of Limerick, and Mr. BALDWIN, of the county of Cork, when, after an exchange of two shots each, the matter was amicably adjusted. The Calendar at Cork contains a list of 145 pri soners for trial, of whom 23 are for murder, 12 for house-burning, and nine for rape. The Calendar is the heaviest throughout all Ireland, and well, indeed, it may be. This morning, as Captain Tortano, the Acting Ad jutant to the 3cl Battalion of the Ist Regiment of Foot Guards, mounted on a beautiful bay charger, was riding in front of the . Battalion, on parade on the Mall in St. James's link, the animal bolted at full speed, and all attempts on the part of Capt. Mizzen to stop him proved useless, as, owing to his accoutrements. 'he could not use much power ever him. The horse ran up into the corner of the Treasury, then past the Horse Guards, and through the line of soldiers who formed the tilt guard; here the men, for safety, Bed in all directions, and the horse continued his course towards the gun near the back part of Carlton Palace, and where one of the Bth Dragoons seised the botse's bridle, and stopped him. What is most extraordinary the animal had been code by the Cap tain on field days, and never started before, although in the midst of bring. It appears that the estate of the late Banking House of. the late Lord Nawnoustr, in Dublin, will be fully adequate to the_payment of all demands on the house, and leave a considerable surplus. A letter from Naples, in the Constitution:ld, says, that it is expected a general amnesty will be published there on the arrival of the King. The renewal of the convention for the conribuance of the Austrian army of occupation had created great dissatisfaction. • Th e marquis de DAttPtltttitit has made a suspension bridge of hon wire over a river in his domain, at aim pierre (Aube), 54 feet long, and f ur broad, on which forty persons can pass safely at a time.

Advices of some financial importance have reached London from Colombia. A Deputation, consisting of Colonel NARVASE and Senor MARTINIS'S, immediately proceeded to England, to investigate all the matters re lative to the late loan. The accounts mention, that the Congress at Panama of the Mexican and South Anse. rican States will be immediately assembled. The De puties to represent Colombia are Dr. GOAL, and CAS. TILLO, the Minister of Finance. They were preparing to leave Bogota. A private letter from Madrid, dated July 21, states that an expedition, composed of two frigates, several corvettes, and some transports, will sail from Ferrol, the Ist of September, and convey 8,000 men to Potto Rico, and 2,500 to the Havannab. The subscription made at Verviers fir the relief of the sufferers by the fire at the village, produced above 7000 francs in the first twenty-tour boars. The in bibitants of Spa, and the strangers there, have also subscribed 1,500 francs. The French Government has directed that every ves sel bound to France from Great Britain, and theNetber lands, with cotton or other goods from the Levant on board, shall perform a quarantine at Marseilles. The Constitutionnel states, that the French General Boyer made no part of the expedition to the Morea, and consequently did not die of his wounds, as the Etoile as serted, on the faith of a letter from Constantinople. Thursday, two dogs belonging to neighbouring far• mers, entered a field belonging to Mr. Cornell, of Weathersfield, and killed six sheep and wounded seve ral others. A dreadful fire broke out on Thursday night, on the premises of Mr. Baker, farmer, in the parish of Woking, in Surrey, which threatened destruction to ' , the whole village. The fire commenced in the rick yard, in which were a great number of hay-ricks, both new and old, the whole of which, with all the outer buildings, were completely destroyed. Great appre hensions were entertained for a field of wheat adjoining, which was ready for the sickle ; but by great exertions it was preserved. The fire originated from a man emptying a shovelful of ashes, among which was some fire. The loss is considerable, but we understand the whole is insured. --- MURDER.—We have received the following detail of a very atrocious murder, committed in the neigh bourhood of Skibbereen : Scuissam, ince 29.—Wednesday, the 47th instant, was dis covered, on the lands of Gurtnagrough, in this county (Cork), the body of a man named Browne. Some time prior to the last Ban try Sessions of the Peace, the deceased, who, it seems, was one of a party of thieves who infested the neighbourhood of Balidebod and Bantry, gave information against his associates in crime. A few days previous to the Sessions he was waited on by some of the party, amongst•whom were the near relatives of his wife, and ordered to hold himself in readiness to go that night on one of his usual excursions. This, it appears, was the ptan devised to allure him into the snare laid for his life. The deceased accompanied them at the time appointed, when the assumed friends became the brutal assassins, and committed the atrocious deed. The body was first discovered by a boy attending cattle. A man is its custody under circumatances'which win probably lead to the discovery of the murderers. The body was found in a bog hole, with large stones tied tethe extremities and middle , and exhibi ted narks et violence.* TIM arms were broken in various Outs, _and the skull fractured in many parts. An In quest ' was h e ld: and a verdict Airh• twinned against some person or pencrat nnklibwit. • • • COMMISSION OF LUNACY. --+- IN THE MATTER OP THE REV. EDWARD PRA)IE (A SUPPOSED LUNATi4 THIRD DA . The proceedings under this Corniniselon of Lunacy were resumed this morning. 1 Henry Clinton, Esq. examined by Mr. WARIMILD. -•-• lam a student at Cambridge, of Caius College. In the month of February, 1825, " the boots" brought a message or card to me to go to Mr. Frank, at the Eagk Inn. I had not at that time any personal acquaintance with Mr. Frank. I never corresi onded with him. I had seen him once or twice, but I had never c;tiversed with him. I went in consequence of that messag: It was about the first or second week in February. I found him at a room in the Eagle., I can't recollect whether he addressed me first. The waiter mentioned my name, on which Mr. Frank got up and.shook hands with me. After sitting a little while, he said, 4 ' I wish Mr. Clinton I had you in London, as I had Several wine pantie , at which we drank duet or lour dozen of wine, and some howls of punch. I then made a speech to them, for you mu•t u•dvistand, that I am tatter given to orator)"—(Langhter). He said, that he slept without his shirt, bile he had his flannel waist coat on. He said that he did not fancy lean women. He asked Mr. Kean to dine w.th him in London, but he did n t a cept it. He said that I e would give five pounds to s, e Miss Foote. He said that he either had seen her ,or would see her, and meht:uned He asked me about the women or Cambridge, and named two or three who were e inent in his time, and Asked me -where they Hied. I t‘ild him hat they lived at a place called Barney/ell. He said, thAt he - should like to go out with me, and see about them. I received his card about ten o'clock at night. He appeared to be sober. He was thinking coffee at the tifre I went in. He asked me what I was going to do with myself next day ? I said I was engaged ; 1 _aid .0 him that I would come in the evening and sit with him it Ile liked. He said be was much obliged t me, but th it he would then be engaged with the women—( Greet laughter), He was 4 1 , .ve - ly in his dies.. His langua,e was pro per, he spoke p:opely, but he would not allow me to sp,:ak at ali. H. s conversati. n appeared to be coherent. He wool:: not ai10... me to answer. As soon as he ceased talking on 'ne subject he welt to another immediately. He spoke of his own acc , rd, And not fr m any remark of mine. H appeared to me to be conscious this he was nut acting properly, because he alluded to the rei ul.slity of his son's cond , ct. I was with him from ten to twelve; ab. ut two how's. By Mr. Wousrinu—To the beht of your judgment did you con. eider him of sane or unsound mind ?—lt struck me that such pro. fiipcy could not be but the result of unsoundness of mind. James Hales--I am an attorney at Norwich; lam attorney for Mr. Frank; I was first employed by him in 1809 or 1810 ; the late Mr. Bea n. Flank died its July or August 1812; recollects Mr. Edward Frank being at Sht lion in 1816 ; he was then very Ill; on the 24:hOctober in that year, I had a conveisAtion with Mr. Frank, at a Magistrates sitting at Long Stratton; Mr. Flank went there ;or the purpose of making complaint respecting the badness of the roads ; Mr. Frank ad dressed a speech to the Magistrate, which he had pre viously had printed; it was of an extraordinary nature, and from this I drew ti•e• conclusion that he was not right in his mind. Mr. Frank told witness that he in tended to go to Cambridge, and take his Doctor's de gree, and then he should return and get himself made Bishop of Norwich; he was evidently at this time la bouring under a delusion; he dirt cted witness to apply to the Lord Lieutenant of the County to get him made a Justice of the Peace; he said he had lately seen a fine handsome girl in the neighbourhood (a gentleman's daughter) and that he intended to marry her ; he also said that immediately he got made a Bishop he would make me his private Secretary. In consequence t f the strangeness of his manner, 1 sent fit Di. Wright, of Norwich, an eminent physician, to attend him. On the 11th of June, 1817, witness went to S . elton, where he saw Mr. Frank in a very lqw, depressed, and sullen state. I took him with me to Norwich, in order to en liven him; he talked in a very desponding manner; he • said he must die, he was a wicked man, and his sins would never be forgiven him. I sent forDr.Wright again,who at tended him. Mr.F.returned home ina few Jays. He carne back to Norwich a fortnight afterwards, and seemed Ain worse than when he left. He staid with me all that night, the next day, and the next night. 0.1 the morning of the 21st of June, he did not come down to breakfast; I went up to his bedroom, where I found him lying on his back with his breast bare, and he had scratched his stomach until the blood vas flowing from it; he re peated about his being a wicked man, and that his sins would not be forgiven him. He also said, " I dreamt a terrible dream last night, I thought I had died, and that I felt my soul burning in hell." I took him down stairs, and had Dr. Wright to attend him. I brought him down about eleven o'clock in the morning, and i.e stood in one position until ,even aid( ck at night. I saw Mr. Frank in February last; he called on me on a Sunday, and asked for a wine-merchant, as he wanted to order some wine; his manner and dress weie very peculiar; he had on a short blue jacket. I felt surprised at his calling, because I had nut seen him for several years before; I told hittl that the wine.merch ant's count ing-house was not open of a Sunday. I saw him at another time with a man who had every appearance of being the keeper of a lunatic asylum. Dr. Warmer examined—l reside at Norwich, and am physician to the County Asylum, to Bethlehem Hospital, and have also a private establishment of my own for lunatics. I was called in to attend the Rev. Mr. Frank in the month of October, 1816. I found him in good health, but decidedly insane ; he was in a state of melancholy madness, he was labouring under a complete delusion; one of the subjects uppermost in his mind was a desire to marry a lady in the neighbour. hood. I observed to him that he was already award ; be replied that he did not mind that, for be was deter mined to marry her in spite of everybody; he would be made Bishop of Norwich and a Magistrate, and take a degree at Cambridge; he also propoied to give a ge neral feast to the whole county of Norfolk ; indeed, his mind was filled with all sorts of extravagant projects and follies. I attended him from the 25th to the Stst of .. . October, 1816. Elizabeth Hunt examined by Mr. Wenertsso—l lived in Hull in 1818, and let lodgings to Miss Fountain fur about three months. bliss Fountain turned out to be Mrs. Frank. Mr. 13aououast took an objection to this examination, because Mrs. Frank was at this period separated front her husband. 111 , .was surprised that witnesses should be called merely to extend the enquiry, when their object was to get at the fact of insanity as ' speedily as possible. If such a course were proceeded in it would be kis duty to throw up the case, in order to save expense. The CoinntiAioners agreed in opinion with Mr. Urougharn, and refused to proceed with the evidence or the last witness. • • Maria Nicholson, entrained by Mr. WA ao,FIELD
