I _ Mal progress which belongs to the genius of our insti- tutions, would be to expose them to those catastrophes of which the present age has furnished striking examples. I have followed the same circumspect system in the application of ou'r reciprocal duties, and I have consi- , tiered myself bound to refuse all partial interpretation of our fundamental laws. Wishing only to retain my legal powers witlmut any encroachment on yours, I shall be always ready to enter into concert with you on everything capable of giving greater clearness to our compact, and thus leading us successively to atigiftent the public prosperity in a perfectly united and solid manner. Our exportation has been very active, and the balance of commerce for this and the preceding years was to our advantage. 'I he harvests have been abundant, and yet the agriculturist is embarrassed. He will continue. so to be until a new system of landed securities shall place him in a more fixed situation than that in which' he now stands. If the hope which I entertain of seeing his situation improved be not realized, I shall again as semble around me the States-General, in order to pi 0- pose to them measures, the efficacy of which cannot be doubtful except with respect to persons whose relief is not within the compass of our influence. The Committee appointed to draw up the Ci.il Code have terminated their labours. That code is submitted to me and my councillhrs' examination. It will be pre sented to yoft next Session, with the ameliorations or modifications which I may consider - proper to be intro duced into the - plan. The code of crimes and punish ments is also the subject of Iny solicitude. Its plan will be characterized - by a regard to individual security and public safety. The sums which you have placed at my disposal for the completion of the great works of the Canal of Gotha, and for other enterprises of general interest, appear to be sufficient, and i hope to be able to fulfil your expectation an:l mine. The improvement of the administration shews itself in so evident a manner, that it is impossible for the ob server, of even the least penetration, not to recognize its progress. Happy the nations which are thus enabled, in the, bosom of public peace, to advance their well being and simplify their institutions. . The systenrut neutrality which my Government has traced out for itself, with respect to all affairs which do not immediately and essentially affect the existence of the two kingdoms, assures us that our neutrality will continue to be respected. Nothing shall be neglected • on our pair to prolong its duration. The relations of amity which exist with all the Powers of Europe are the augury of that durable peace which forms the ob ject of our wishes. I thank you, Gentlemen, for the numerous 'proofs of affection .and devotion which you have given to me, and to all the members of my family. I regret that the breaking up of the Diet, joined to the bad season, should have presented an obstacle to the execution of the wish you manifested for the coronation of the Queen, my spouse. That wish shall be satisfied on the next meet ing-of the States-Gerieral. On your return to your homes and to the bosoms of your families, endeavour to strengthen public peace and union. Be fiiends, be Swedes. Let that proud name remind you, that constancy is the greatest of all pow ers; but that weakness and discord, by destroying States, undermine the freedom olniankind. I repeat to you, Gentlemen, the assurances of my good wishes and Royal sentiments. THE GREEKS-LORD BYRON. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. CORFU, DECEMBER T. You will be happy to hear that Corinth has at length fallen positively, and is now garrisoned by the Greek A naval victory has also been gained by them in the, sicinity of Vohi, in v.hich they have taken a corvette, a brig, and four transport , . We had 'a Greek brig be longing to the squadron that obtained the victory, at Corfu two days since: she had been up the Gulph, ex pecting to find a Turkish vessel off 13oyana, but was dis appointed ; he, however, landed her men, and carried off a large flock of sheep, and anchored here, in the hope of being allowed to dispose of them ; but this, it appears, could not be permitted, and she therefore sailed to the Southward without delay. A very important point for the Greeks is, that the last bills, to the amount of nearly 40,0(X) dollars, sent by Green and others to Constantinople, for supplies fur nished to Patras, have come back protested. The Turks have given up the siege of Missolonghi.— We have not the pat ticulars ; but I. believe there is little doubt of the fact. It is aho pretty generally believed, that Omar Brione is upon the point of revolt; and that he has already made proposals on the subject to the Greeks. Mr. is now here, on his way from Lord Byron to the Greek Committee. His Lordship has advanced '20,000 dollars in aid of the Gieek fleet. Mr. is but just returned front Greece, wheie he remained three months :—his accoullt c:itaffairs is most favourable. THE EVENING STA a. .4 14 OVUN. ' THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 18'24. CEPHALONIA, NOVEMBER 26. fF. ~:_ E'ti. We reached Cephalonia on the '22.1 November. At the Lazaretto, Cotint addressed me concernial; Gieece; be conveyed my letters to Lord Byron. His Lordship has been here but three month,: the first six weeks he spent on board a merchant ve , sel, and seldom went on shore except on business. Since that period Lord B. has lived in a little Nina in the vicinity, in, absolute se clusion, Count being his only companion. Ilk Lordship is greatly belot ed by the Cephalonians, Eng lish, and Greeks. Colonel Napier, the Resident, is a good soldier and politician ; he is an active man, and popular too. The Government is making fine roads all over the island. We have this moment received good news. The Greek fleet has arrived at Callaniata. Troops will there he embarked for raising the blockade of Missolonp_hi, and will then proceed to Albania. Pet! o-liey is with the fleet, and Mavrocordato left Hydra 17 Jar back to join it. You are aware, I presume, that L o rd Byron generously advanced 4.0001. towards the payment of the armament. The money is placed in the lia , ids of three Commissioners. The Turkish army before Missuloughi is said to be moving off by hundreds. • Nov. 28.—The firllna tug account of a naval victory, I hope, 'nay be relied on. The Greek fleet, consisting of nine ve,,tl., attacked eleven Trickish ships, near the island or Sciathn ; they fought for sir hours ; the result.

Royalists and Constitutionalists are every day forming themselves into freebooting parties. Of these latter there is a band of 800, armed and mounted, traversing the kingdom of Valencia, and on the side of Galicia, the Constitutionalist marauding troops are not limited to hundreds, but, as we are assured, amount to some thousands. A Council was held this day, at the- house of the LORD CHANCELLOR, in Hamilton-place, when the claim of Hunt to the Royal mercy, on account of the promise made to him, and his confession, was taken into consi deration. The Council, which continued sitting when onr Paper went to press, was attended by the SECRETARY of STATE for the Home Department, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, and several others of the Cabinet Ministers. Mr. Secretary CANNING and his family, accompanied by Baron PAGEL and M. FALcx, were in the Kises box at Covent garden Theatre last night, to witness the performance of The Man of the World. The Earl of FIFE has arrived in town from a tour. The Marquis of TICHFIELD, is much indisposed at his father's (the Duke of Potmatais), St. James's square. The Earl and Countess of SURREY have ai rived at the Marquis of STarrortz's seat, at Richmond; from their seat, Worksop Manor, Notts. Countess DE GREY has arrived at her house, in St. James's square, from her seat, Putney Heath. Lord and Lady GRANTHAM and family are expected in town in a few days, from their seat, Newby Hall, Yorkshire. Sir GEoRGI RoBINsON, Bart. has left Earl SPENCER'S seat, Althorpe, for his seat, Cranford, Northampton, Captain and - Lady CHARLOTTE BERKELEY have left town for Munster House, Fulham, on a visit to Mr. and Lady JANE PM. The King of FRANCE has granted out of his civil list 195,000 francs, to be applied in augmentation of the pay of the in ferior Officers of the Guards. The Prince of ORANGE arrived at St. Petersburgh on the Bth ultimo. .... Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India Howe, when the following Captains took leave of the Court previous to departing for their respective destinations, viz. Captain Henry Andrews Drummond, of the Castle Huntly; Captain Alexander Christie, Thomas Coutts, for Bombay and China ; Captain Edward Maxwell Daniell, Duchess of Athol, and Capt ti, James Walker, Macqueen, for Bengal and China.—The undermentioned ships were stationed as follows, viz.—The Asia, Captain Thomas F. Baldeston ; ;Marchioness of Ely, Captain Charles Mangles, for Madras and Bengal ; General Hewitt, Capt. Thomas Barrow; Rose, Captain —; and Prince Regent, Captain Henry Hosmer, for Bengal direct. The ceremony of consecrating St. Mary's Church, Bryanstone-square,, was yesterday performed by the Bishop of LotWoN, in the presence of an extremely nu merous and respectable congregation. Spacious as the interior is, it was quite crowded. PARIS, JAM/ART s.—The new Comedy of L'Ecole des Veillards, by M. CASIMIR DE LAVIGNE, has a pro digious run; the author sold the manuscript at 14,000 francs; and his brother not being able to purchase the place of Avon& CASIMIR gave him the 14,000 francs towards it : when M. LAFITTE (who is never behind hand when a generous action is to be done) heard of it, he sent for the brother, and told him he had received for him, from London, a remittance of 20,000 francs (800 L). We know not which to admire most, M. LA.. FITTE'S generosity or his modesty. The AJelphi Theatre has put forth strong claims to the patronage of all children, whether of the smaller or the " larger growth." The new Harlequin-piece of Doctor Faustus and Me Black Demon; or, Harlequin' and the Seven Fairies of the Grotto, has been liberally applauded, and certainly no expense has been spared in getting it up. The dresses are rich and fanciful, and the scenery splendid. The two KIRBY'S. as Clown and Harlequin, are indefatigable; and Mrs. SEARLE'S Co lumbine is an animated and graceful performance. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday last, 138 phea sants were killed at Raith, although the weather was by no means favourable. This fine bird has now become very plenty in many parts of Scotland, where Noblemen and Gentlemeithave been at the pains and expense of protecting them. NEW LAW APPOINTMENTS —Yesterday morning, at ten o'clock, the LORD CHANCELLOR, accompanied by several law-officers, &c. attended in Lincoln's-inn-hall, for the purpose of raising to the degree of Serjeant-at- Ltw, WILLIAM ALEXANDER, Esq. one of the Masters in Chancery, and Sir ROBERT GIFFORD, Knight, his Majesty's ATTORNEY-GENERAL, preparatory to their being sworn into the offices to which they are appointed, viz. the former as LORD CHIEF BARON of the Court of EXCHEQUER, and the latter as Cuter Armee cf the Court of COMMON PLEAS. _ . CRAVEN HUNT BALL AND SUPPER.—Tuesday the Gentlemen of the Craven Hunt gave a most elegant ball and supper, at the . Devorphire lintel, Skipton, which was attended by nearly 100 of the - first per sonages in the neighbourhood. The ball was opened with a country dance, ". Speed the Plough," about ten in the - evening ; quadrilles were then commenced, and con tinued with country dances until newly one o'clock, Favhen supper was announced, and the tables displayed an elegant set-out of the choicest delicacies of the season. The supper was served cold, except soups. At about three o'clock dancing was resumed, and kept up with the greatest spirit until six in the morning, when the company relucrantly separated, highly delighted with the excellent arrangPments made for their gratification. Monday, an Inquest was held at the Guildhall, in Bury, on the body of James Cobbing, who died of a locked jaw, occasioned by an injury received on his thumb, in a scuffle with Charles Barham, the elder, on the 4,4 th of December'. It appears that Cobbing, on gOing to a public-house for some beer, on Christmas eve, accompanied by his housekeeper; wren accosted by B trharn, who said—" Ah, Cobbing, you have got your housekeeper with you : take care of her." To which he answered--."

An article from Leghorn of the Bth ult. contains a singUlar account of an outrage 'on an English vessel by a Tunisian frigate, and a report that our Consul at Tunis had been assassinated. We oust that the report is unfounded. The following are extracts: LEGHORN, DECEMBER 8. Last week it was reported here that the English Con sul at Tunis had been insulted, and even assassinated. For some days we were in painful suspense on this ac count. Yesterday we at length received the folios% ing news by letters from Malta : " An English vessel, bound from the Greek islands for Malta, had ou board 80 Greek passengers. A Tu nisian frigate stopped this vessel at sea, and demanJcd that the Greeks should be given up. The English Cap tain refused. On this the Tunisian Captain sent a boat s well armed, which took away the Greeks by main force, " The Eng.r.4l Captain immediately sailed fur Malta. and gave an account of this affair. A swift sailing ves sel was immediately dispatched to Tunii to demand the release of the Greeks. It was announced that they were subjects of the Porte; that, consequently, they ought to be considered as rebels; and that they would not be given up, because they had already undergone their fate. We do not know what has become of the English Con sul, who zealously interested himself in favour of these unfortunatepeOple.—A statement of the affair has been sent to London. The presents from Denmark to the Dey of Algiers have already arrived." " TURIN, DECEMBER 27, Mud , * sr 8, P. x. " We are happy to be able to state, that for the last two days, his Majesty King Victor Emanuel has continued to improsie in his health. Hehas slept calmly ; has hardly bad any cough, and his pulse has not varied. This morning he is without pain, and has enjoyed his usual breakfast of coffee and chocolate." LEIPSIC, DECEMBER 24. French, Russian, and Prussian couriers continue to pass through here, and it seems that very important negociations are on foot between several great Powers. STOCKHOLM, DECEMBER 16. On the evening of the 12th, a travelling peasant visited some of his acquaintance in the Peasants' Club, l , As he was going away, he met on the stairs a stranger , who gave him an unsealed letter, requesting him to give it to the Club. The peasant suspecting,no harm, did as he was desired. The letter was addressed to the Representatives of Scania, and contained several captious and revolutionary expressions respecting the • Govern ment. The beaver was immediately arrested by the Police, but no clue has yet been found to discover the author of the letter. All the Authorities have al ready testified to the King and to the Crown Prince, their attachment and fidelity, and their detestation of these criminal machinations. - . The following extract of a private letter from Madrid, gives a melancholy picture of the state of Spain. MADRID, DECEMBER 26. This country is rapidly approaching the brink of ruin and misery. With a ruined agriculture, an abandone,i commerce, no manufactures, no industry, no hopes of rich galeous from America ; how is it possible to pay soldiers and sailors, and provide for the other necessary expenses of the State? The very per sons employed in the Government Offices are in a state approaching to misery. Even at the approach of Christ mas, when it is almost an act of religion in this conutryto to be a little more festive than usual, these unfortunate people were not gratified with any portion of the sala ries due to them, so that many of them were obliged, to furnish forth the Christmas dinner, &c. to pawn, and some of them to sell their apparel andindclothes. There is, in fact, nbt a sous in the Treasury, and the vessel of the State may be said to be at the very point of founder ing. The' most clear-sighted and thinking men in vain look for a gleam of safety. If the present system be per sisted in, and if the talent, as yet totally unknown, of M. Lopez Ballasteros cannot - remedy the predicament in which we are,l fear much that we must finish by fall ing upon acid devouring each other. Indeed, something like this already takes place, for at five o'clock in the evening, robberies are openly committed in the streets of this capital, and that by individuals far above die LORD ERSKINE'S WILL. The Euphrates, —., from Liverpool to New York, was seed going into Cork, with her bowsprit gone. FALMOUTH, JANUARY 6.—Wind N.—Arrived the Briton, from London for the Mediterranean.

Thomas Lord ERSKINE, was registered in the Pre: rogative Court, in Doctors' Commons, on the SJ instant. Letters of administration wi.h the same, and one co dicil annexed, have been committed to the night Hon. DAVID MONTAGU Lord ERSKINE, the son, one of the residuary legatees. The late Hon. FRANCEs. Etisxtsie, the wife and sole executrix appointed, having died in testator's lifetime. The will is dated the 15th November, 1782, and begin& in nearly these words:—" Being, from a sense honour, and not from any motive of personal resentment or revenge, about to expose my life to great peril, it is a comfort to me that I have so few duties to fulfil previous to an event which may deprive me of every' other opportunity of so doing." It then proceeds to enu merate certain sums, constituting the amount of the tei.• tator's propel ty, which is stated to have been all ae:quir ed. since his practir.. at the bar, and to be 9,0001 Consols,. and about 10001. more in bills. It is all left, with the highest expressions of confidence and-affection to his wife, for herself and children, they to inherit it after her de cease, in equal shares, as they attain twenty-one years of age. But he provided, as on account of her youth she might probably mart) , again, and as such An event, though by no means deprecated by him, might be in compatible with the interests of his • children, that urn such second marriage the property should be transferrett to his sister, Lady Anne Erskine, in trust for them as above-mentioned. _ A 'request is left to the testator's brother, the Earl of Buchan, that as his property was not sufficient to enable Mr. Erskine to educate his son rfavid in a manner suit able to his birth, that he would make it such as thee both derived from their father, improved by his own talents and experience. He only excepted from the property left as above, the ring and sleeve-buttons set with his wife's hair, in which he desired to be buried, as he usually wore them. The codicil is dated " Carlton Hotel, Pall-mall, 2d October, 1786," and was made only for the purpose of confirming the contents of the will, its property since its execution having much accumulated, and for giving his children since born, and tlio ehe might int tthire have, an equal participation with the others in its provi'sions. From their remote date it is not to be wondered at that the papers are somewhat defaced and mutilated; and it Will be considered remarkable that such a lapse of time and change of circumstances, should not have induced a-man of legal attainments to have left a more recent declaration of his testamentaty intentions.—The personals were sworn under £lOOO. Tuesday morning at five o'clock, a fire broke out in the house of Sir WILLIAM WALPOLE, Macclesfield street, Berkeley-square, which destroyed all the valua ble furniture, and the whole interior of the building. The Liverpool Advertiser, received this morning, has the following article:—" Yesterday we received letters from Demerara of the 21st November, which state, that on that day the trial of Smith ended, and that the sen,- mice of the Court was to be made known on the 24th." AFFLICTING ACCIDENT.—Monday last, a very me.; lancholy occurrence took place at . Oak-Lawn, Sur rey, the seat of EDWARD MottLzy, Esq. Amongst a number of friends who were enjoying winter sports at Oak-Lawn, was Captain T. Morley, formerly of the Honourable East India Company's Artillery, who had arrived in England only a few days previous. Captain Morley, being particularly fond of field sports, was highly delighted with the well-kept covers of his bro. .ther's estate, and sported every morning ; on Monday last he was shooting a new cover, in companTwith his nephew, a lad of sixteen years old ; the enclosure'being very close, Captain Morley recommended the young gentleman to keep in the tear, and not to fire until the birds had risen above the quickset hedge, which divided them. Two cocks starting soon after, the nephew un fortunately neglected this caution and fired, when Capt. Morley, who was then not twenty yards distant, received nearly the entire charge in his right shoulder,. and fell, exclaiming, "Oh ! George, I am shot." The young gentleman, overhearing the exclamation, sprung over the hedge, and found his uncle lying on the ground in great agony : assistance was instantly procured, and the wound was examined by Surgeon Waller who happened to be then on a visit at the house: the greater part ut the shot was extracted, but from the torn state of the surrounding flesh, and a partial fracture of the bone, it is presumed that amputation will be necessary to en sure the gentleman's recovery. His Majesty has been graciously pleased to grant a reprieve for Robert trade, convicted at the last Bury Assizes of setting fire to a barn in the occupation of Mrs. Eltz.
