It is also asserted that the Scusu has united all his troops with those of his son, and is pie. paring to ()fen the campaign anew against Russia.— It is truly observed, that this event would render the affairs Of Turkey still mote intricate; for it is calcu• laced to Confirm the Porte in the opinion that it may, with this powerful diversion in its favour, bb able to resit Russia and its other opponents. The Gazette de France affirms, that the rrench divi sion will leave Cadiz on the 4th March; the infantry to be conveyed by sea to Haste and Rochefort, the sail. ivy and cavalry to pass through Madrid. The Algemeine Zeitung to the 6th instant was received this morning. It contains no intelligence direct from Constantinople; but an article from Bucharest of the 10th ult. represents the affairs in that capital as remain in4 unchanged. The persecutions against the Armenia)), appear to have been in some measure suspended: it attributes to the Turkish Clergy the blame of preventing the SULTAN from listening to the advice of the more prudent, and from making to the Greek. equitable concessions in the spirit of the Treaty of the 6th July The loilou ing is the article we allude to : . BUCHAREST, Fes. io. According to letters from Constantinople, the state of th rgs appear to be unchanged, though the persecution of the Catholic Armenians has ceased, and the Atm... , n'ais Patriarch katabrt I ;is been reprimanded for his' harsh proceedings towards them, with a repetition Of' the decimation, that the Porte never took notice 'of the religious disputes between tie eifferent Christia sects; iind that it had required him to be answerable for all the Armenians settled at Constantinople, only because it had received a winning from Bagdad, to have a watchful e)e on that nation, which, by its in trigues in Persia and Asiatic Turkey, Lad excited the suspicion of the Government, which the Patri arch himself represented as extremely dangerous, and for whose fidelity he would not undertake to be responsible.. Notwithstanding this, the sen- tence of b.inishment against the American Catholic Clergy his not been recalled, and no indemnity given for the confiscated property. Fit mans fir the passage into the Black Sea are still refused. Yet well-informed persons are of opinion that the Porte will not suffer things to come to the last extremity, and blirdly plunge into an abyss of .danger, from which, in the most favour. able circumstances, it would save only its ow n existence, without -_being able to prevent the independence of the Greeks. It may, perhaps, be attributed to the Ulemas alone, if the Sultan is kept from listening to the advice of the more prudent, and from making to the Greeks equitable concessions in the spirit of the Treaty of London. This class, who still seek to exercise their ancient influence, which, like the Janissaries, they used almost despotically in State stairs, think more of their own interest than that of the Empire, and hope, in a great political crisis, to under- Mine the independent ainthority of the Sultan, which is daily becoming More dangerous to them, and to recover, their authority,which has of late been greatly impaired-•; the less moderate among them would ptobably go farther Co attain their wishes, and endeavotn to carry into effect more criminal projects, did they not. fear to incense the whole nation against thern..b..4llgemaine Zeiteng, March 5. •- Another Brazil Mail arrived this morning; but the Rio Papers are nett of so recent a date by two days, as tho.e received yesterday by the Rinaldo.

Lord FITIIabY Sensitize ' as Military Secretary to General Lord HILL. went through hi s Li st yesterday, at his Office in the Horse Guards. A few General, and upwards of forty other Officers, transacted military business with his Lordship. The Depot of the 83d Regiment of Foot have received their route for Hull; and it is but justice to state, their conduct during their stay at Sunderland, merits the good opinion of the inhabitants. They are to be replaced by the 7th Royal Fusileers front Chester. Colonel the Right Honourable the Lord DOUGLAS has resigned the command of the Forfar and Kincardineshire Regiment of Militia. His Lordship was Colonel of the Regiment for the last twenty-six years, was universally esteemed as a Commanding (Aker, and was always regarded by the Officers and men with the highest respect. Ths title attached to Lord Ms as Commander-of-the-Forces. instead of Commander-in-Chief, as successor to the Duke of Witt.- Ltinrron, has hitherto been unexplained. Lord Hat. not being a Field Marshal, or a senior General in the Army, his Lordship can not be Commander-in-Chief in the Army, there being many General Officers sectors to his Lordship—probably fifty; but Lord Thu., in point of patronage and emolument, is the same as if his title was Colnatander•ln•Chief.

A great portion of the vessels have lost their anchors and cables, and some have re ceived injury by being run foul of. The Spartan, Cliarssax, of and from New York, is one of the number ; she has lost bowsprit and foretopmast, and is leaky. It is expected that most of the vessels on shore will be got off without serious injury. FORGERY OF COUNTRY BANK NOTES. It appears that forged country Bank notes are now very much hawked about the metropolis, as welt u about the different country towns in the neighbourhood of the Banking-houses on which the forgeries are committed. One of the partners in the house of Messrs. Berridge and Evans, of Tower-street, yesterday waited upon the Lord Mayor, to communicate the patticulars of a sue credal attempt which had been made upon them by the gang of forgers with whom the metropolis is now overrun, in the hope that the public might be put upon their guard against the marrouvres of these fellows, who generally employ some young man to make the txperimeit for them. He stated that a youth had called at the warehouse with the following note, which seemed to have been sent by a respectable chemist, who resided at No. 90, Chiswell-street. - " March 8,1828. " Mr. Crake will thank Messrs. Berridge and Beans to send by bearer eg lbs. .f fins bees waz, Ind charge the lowest price for cash." I Ibis note contained a note for 51. purporting to be of the Smith Devon Bank, No. 651, dated 1041 of April, 1826, and payable at Messrs. Masterman, Peters, and Co. It was ex. mutely well executed, and the difference between SI. 10e1 and U. was given, along with the articles required, to the mea -1 anger. It was soon ascertained that the SI. note was a forgery, and that Mr. Crake had not sent the written order for the bees wax. It is believed that many of those notes are in circulation, and that some of the notorious Bank parcel stealers are deep in the be. • linen- It is now a common practice with persons engaged in this nefarious trade to get the as.istance of boys, whom, on account of their chance of escaping with impunity, their employers send into the snort dangerous quarters. It is needless to say that the police could &o nothing on this occasion: LONDON ORPHAN SOCIETY. The Nineteenth Anniversary Dinner of this Sviety was yesterday held at the City of London Tavern. The Duke of Wzitaverros had announced his intention of presiding, but from the delicate state of his Grace's health, and the press of Ministerial bu shwas be has been of late obliged to sustain, the Society were de prived of the honour of his attendance. In his Grace's absence, Lord Cat:Hoare took the Chair. About 200 Gentlemen sat dowe l to dinner. The grace (sandlot) was sung In excellent style, and the usual toasts appropriately prefaced by the Noble Chairman. His Lord ship particularly regretted the absence of the distinguished indi vidusl whose place be had been called upon to supply, and assured the Meeting that necessity alone could have prevented his Gallant Friend front countenancing, by his presence, their excellent and useful Charity. His Lordship dwelt at considerable length on the military honours which the Duke of Wellington bad acquired, and rejoiced that his Majesty had so far appreciated his Grace's merits as to bestow upon him the highest civil employment in the State. The children of the Charity were introduced, and gave general satisfaction from their cleanly and healthy appearance. Mr. Wilmot•Horton, Sir Thomas Preston, Sir Charles Flower, Aklerman Thompson, Mr. Calcraft, and Mr. Palmer, severally addressgd the Meeting. The Rev. Mr. CLAYTON announced the name of a new subscriber for life, his own great grandson. Several admirable ►ongs were smug, and the company retired, after an evening of the utmost festivity. The D'.ke and Duchess of ALBANS intend pay ing a visit to Ireland during the progress of the present year.— They will visit Dublin, and proceed thence to the South of Ireland, on a visit to the Lakes of Killarney. Thetr.Graces will take their trip about the period when his Royal Highness the LOAD titan Azsanaat intends to visit that country. Lord NOBBURY'S LAST !—While I.ord NOBBURY was seated the other day at dinner with some of the Attar:his of the new Irish Court, be remarked that Lord Auctasar was the most active Lord Lieutenant Ireland had ever been blessed with. On being asked why ? " Because," says le, " whilst he has one leg 1 1 in Dublin, the other is in Cork." NAPOLEON slept little, but that soundly. He used to remark, in justification of shortening his hours of repose, that "whatever is stolen front sleep is added to our real existence." A new Bazaar was opened to the public on Monday, opposite the Pantheon, in Oxford-street. We were much pleased with the arrangement of the interior. It is planned with con siderable taste sad judgment, and is very light and elegant in its coup soil. But the proprietors of the establishment have added some other points of interest to the usual attractions of a bazaar.— A dioramic exhibition, on the plan of that in the Regent's Park, and not much inferior in effect to that celebrated show, is one of the novelties here. The views presented are, The Lake of Maggiore, in Italy"—" The Interior of St. George's Chapel, Windsor,"—' " Wreck of an Indiaman and Storm on the Coast"—" Ruins of Tintern Abbey, by Moonlight." Messrs. &rennet., and Rousts are the artists who have executed these views, and from the beau tiful specimen of painting they present, we are inclined to believe ; that our native artists will soon equal, at least, their foreign com• petitors in this particular department. • The other evening, at Lord HOLLAND'S, Mr. W. Semmes asked Mr. Roomis,what three letters would spell Brandy ? The wit declared his inability to say. "BlionolY," said Spasms'. " I can spell it in French," said Romans, 'a with three letters."— " What are they?" said SPASM*. " 0, I), V," said SANIBEL. ['he laugh created by ti: is impromptu was such, that Mr. Locist.xv was sent far, to bleed several vi the Pasty, Wt-o were near dying of it. • BliANCli BANKS. l NRWCASTLF. ON-TY NE, Means 11 1 - The proposed lostitution here of a branch of the Bank of Engllhd would seem to hive at length excited amongst the merchants and manufacturers of this town a feeling of the most lively apprehension. On Saturday, in a very full meeting of the Chamber of Conlioerce in this town (a body comprehending all the leading commercial in terests of the place), It was unanimously determined to addresi a memorial to the Directors of the Bank of England, setting forth that the projected establishment of a branch of the Bank of England in Newcastle was equally uncalled for and unnecessary; and that it was but too likely to do harm, whilst there was no possibility of its being beneficial to the public. The following is a copy of the me morial agreed to on the incision, and which has since been trans mitted to the Directors through the medium of Matthew Bell, Esq. Member for Northumberland : TO THE GOVERNOR AND COMPANY OF THE BANK OF ENGLAND. THE MEMORIAL OP THE CHAMOIS OE COMMERCE OF NEWCASTLE. MN-TYNE, • Most axsracTrottv Snxwern—That your memorialists are in formed, that it is the intention of the Directors of the Bank of England to estabiish a branch of that Institution in Newcastle upon-Tyne. That your memorialists are all, more or less, extensively engaged in the commerce and manufactures of this town and neighbourhood, and that id the conducting of their various concerns they have hitherto experienced from the bankers here every degree of ac commodation they could reasonably expect or desire. That Newcastle is the centre of a most important mining and commercial district, and that the system of banking which obtains here, has become adapted to the wants, and conducive to the be nefit of an classes of the people. That, in proof of the soundness and utility of the existing system of banking, your memorialists have only to refer to the calamitous period of little more than two years ago, in which the credit of the country was shaken in almost every direction ; it being well known that, during thew hole of that period of unexampled commercial distress, the resources and 1i,..e -rality'nf the Newcastle bankers served effectually to •protect this part of the country from any serious inconvenience. 'I hat your memorialists, in the absence of any avowed motive for the establishment of a branch of the Bank of England in New castle, see no prospect whatever of good from such an establishment. That they beg leave to assure the Directors that no doubt is enter tained of the security of the notes in circulation here, and that they have not heard of any complaint of the insufficiency of banking accommodation. Your memorialists, therefore, moat earnestly recommend to the Directors of the Dank of England to re-consider the policy of the measure they are about to adopt, and to abstain from trying an ea. periment which, iu the deliberate opinion of your memorialists, hur too likely to be injurious, while it cannot possibly be beneficial iu the interests of a town circumstanced as this most fortunately is, with respect to every commercial facility which the operation of banking Is calculated to afford.

This elderly dame, who lately walked upon the uneven pavement at Brampton, 92 miles in 93 hours, within the time. commenced her Herculean tas► at half past four o'clock on Thursday afternoon. and completed it at three •clock on Friday, having finished it in 23 hours. THE FANCY. FIGHT BETWEEN LARKIN3 AND KELLY FOR TEN POUNDS A-SIDE. These two men, the firmer the Cambridge Champion, and the latter an untried Sprig from Shantrockshire, yesterday met at the Barge House, on the Essex side of the Thames, opposite the Wool wich Arsenal, to decide which was the better man, for the moderate stakes of XlO a-side. Larkins ha repeatedly fought in the pro. yincial circles, but this was his first appearance among the metropo. titan amateurs ; while Kelly was only distinguished by his own confidence ind that of his friends. A mill at the East End is always sure to draw lots of " loose fish," and the meandering road which leads from the Barking road to the scene of action, exhibited name rows groups of " unwashed astisins " who could not resist the temptation of a luck banquet. The "go-carts" too were on the alert, and were seen heavily laden, plodding their " weary way" to the destined goal. Before one o'clock the men came to the scratch, " anxious for the affray ;" Larkins, attended by Peter Crawley and Young Josh, and Kelly by Mike Curtain and Dan M'Carty. Their toilets were soon performed, anti at ten minutes before one they stood tete a tete." Larkins had a decided advantage in :ondition, weight and muscle bet Pat looked hardy and of active frame. Betting-6 to 4 os Larkins. ' THE FIGHT. At the commencensent . Larkins made first play, jobbed with his left, followed up with his right, and bustled his man in good style. Kelly returned but slightly, Mk in the close both down. In the second round, Larkins again planted his left and right in good style, and hit his man down. In.tbis• way he took and kept the lead, peppering away in excellent style; and in the fourth round it was ten to one in his favour. Kelly came up with great courage, and . -popped in a teazer on Larkines smeller, but this was all the damage done on his part ; be was out fought for the remainder of the fight; and in the ninth' round injured his knee so as to lessen his chance. Still he stood to .his nun; although cautiously; but having been re peatedly floored, and his left eye clan d, in the fifteenth round his seconds, seeing be had not a chance, gave In. The fight lasted but sixteen minutes, during which Larkins bad it all his own way, and left off without a scratch, and with the loss only of a few drops of claret from his proboscis. Larkins, from this specimen of bis talent, has placed himself high in the estimation of the "knowing ones," and may kink for a more experienced customer. There was a second fight between Ned Stockman's brother and a Woolwich lad, named Dyer, under the auspices of Bishop Sharpe and Burke, for a purse of 345. Stockman had the advantage of length and science, although out of condition, but Dyer proved himself a trump, and stuck to his man with great vigour and true game. The superior out-fighting and heavy hitting of Stockman, however, was more than he couki resist, and after being severely jobbed—in the sixteenth round, finding that the chances were against him, he prudently deefitted-prolonging the contest, and StOckman pocketed " the ether'," little the worse for wear, while poor Dyer carried home certain changes of colour in his physog, which must have induced kis friends to believe that he bad been coupling his name with the profession which it betokoneci. He left off, however, ,Oith a full share of applause, and was any thing but disgraced. Thus ended the sports of the day, a'nti the enlightened assemblage toddleehaek to their respective quarters, absorbing in their way no small portion of heavy wet and other enlivening potations. hoe WARD ADD Java Cum—The second deposit for the fight between these men, for £5O a-side, was made good last night at Frank Redmond's, Loam's Pond, in the presence of a respectable muster of the " Lively ones." Carter. is resolved to " have a shy, If be loses his stick;" and though he may be stale, he has sufficient confidence in himself to believe, that he is fresh enough for Ward. Smock-alley Theatre, in Dulalioewas built with such dispatch, that it was finished and opened in the same year that it was commenced. It met afterwards with a fate similar to that of the Brunswick Theatre. -- In the year 1701, on the first night ,of performing T. Sasowsu.'s Libertine, the house was very much crowded, and put of the Theatre suddenly gave way, and buried the audience in its ruins. As the Play was a very profligate one, the circumstance was considered by the people as a visitation of Pacivinuica fur en couraging such a representation. A temperate habit, - and a placid gentle disposition, are excellent anodynes they assuage pain and soften misfortune, leaving Nature free to work her own wonders. Mr. CONWAY, the tragedian, who went from this country to America, a few years since, fell, on the 24th of January, into the ocean, whilst on hievoyage from New York to Savannah, and was drowned. Mr. C. about a year ago relinquished the stage, and devoted himself to the study of divinity. A grey•bird's - nest, with four fledged young ones, was found last week at Dartmouth. mTr• :frt ExEcttio.

Gloucestershire / 0o mar 1 ; they were apprehend-d i London. The (Abtsr three prisoners wrre convice I rr t several very daring and despe;ate robberies in ciaelling houses, wt,ere they menaced the inmates with pistol, and in one or two instances bound ti.ens.v.ith cords, to prevent pursuit. - The Melford's hatched 'a conspiracy in the gaol lot their escape; one of the objects of which was to overisow et the turnkeys. This was discovered, and they wete put in irons—since which time their demeanour has beet greatly subdued, and they have appeared to conternplatl death with fortitude. When the warrant of executiot artived at the prison, all the culprits received the : fatal intelligence with great firmness—they were then dims cumbered of their irons. Chapman was much shocked, but Johnson, who has lost the use of his limbs from paralysis, had long pt spared himself for the worsf.. S;ncr that time the five unhappy culprits have devoted then. selves to prayer with fervour and penitent feeling, an, have lost no time in endeavouring to make their pearl with the ALMIGHTY. Sullivan being of the Roman Ca thoJic persuasion was attended by the Rev.J. Role, an( was extremelt penitent and resigned. The unhapp: Johnson was quite helpless, and being confined to hi 'bed, Mr. Baker eftstantly attended and gave him pion. advice. He seemed to have full possession of his facul ties. The younger Melford has, since Thursday last given way to the most unavaling grief, and as the bey of his execution approached, seemed to contemplate with dismay and horror, so much so, that it was impo , Bible, from the state of his mind, to bring him to a tu sense cf his guilt. Chapman and the,t'wo Melfords.on Sunday attende. Divine Service in the, Chapel of the Prison, and altel wards the Melfords had a parting interview wit their brother, who 'has u , ,ed every effort by memor i. and petiti•.n to get their lives spared, but without effc .1 thrt la,t interview was affecting in the extreme. Dur rnl Monday and Tuesday the relatives and friends of th. other unhappy men took (area ell of them for ever. This morning, shortly before eight o'clock, Mr. Slit riff Staple and his officers attended at Newgate, an, upon entering the press-room we found Sullivan upo: his kntes in a corner of the room pra)ing with grey fervour: he held a small prayer-book in his hand, hi religious adviser, Mr. Rolfe, was standing close to him in the attitude of directing his attentir , n to Heave, Sullivan immediately arose,, bowed, and resumed hi prayers until the'officers pinioned his aims and hand Chapman, alias Derick, was then brought from the cell he wore a white Smock frock, bract' gild and di mayed, aad submitted to the oper.rtion of pinionit without uttering a' sentence, and when desired to down his countenance assumed the - most ghastly pal ness. William Melford was next conducted into ti room, he was genteelly dressed, and appeared to h.e, been weeping, as his eyes were swollen; his step wal l unsteady and faltering,but appealed quite collected. The voice of some prrson crying bitterly, in the direction the cells, announced the approach of Charles Melford he entered the room supported by a turnkey, and wer with great apparent anguish.
