Accounts from Stockholm notice the rumoured causes of the CnowN PRINCE returning from Norway, which are stated to be fabrications. In the preceding page we have inserted some inte resting intelligence from Greece,derived from the French Papers and private letters. We have also received Frankfort Papers to the 16th inst. Florentine Gazettes to the .sh, and a file of the Creek Journal, published at Missolonghi, from the beginning of September to the ad November, which throw additional light on the af fairs of Greece. The Florentine Gazette of the 4th, gives accounts from Missolonghi, of the middle of December, which say that public rejoicings had taken place at Napoli di Romania, in commemoration of the advantages gained over the Ottoman fleet in the sea of Candia, and that transports had arrived in that port, on board of which were some Arabs, belonging to the regular Egyptian army, and provisions. Some of the ships which had been separated from theTu►kish fleet,wer e pursued as far as Alexandria, and the Greek squadron had since returned to Hydra. CONDURIOTTI was said to have recovered from his ill ness, and to have arrived at Napoli di Romania, with many troops from the Islands and other parts of Greece, to support the Government, and to check the discontent which had been %hewn in some places, on account of the late elections. The Allgerneine Ztilung has an article from Odessa of the 26th of December, referring to letters from Con stantinople of the 17th, in which are the following par ticulars : —Cor.eco•reoNt, influenced by foreign agents, waited for the arrival of beams! PACIIA, to overthrow the Central Government at Napeli di Rumania. His enter prise failed, from his having commenced his ope rations too early : his son fell in an action against the' troops of the Government. The Greeks affirm that the dignity of Hospodar was promised to COLOCOTRONI, in case the enterprise succeeded ; but it is inconceivable that COLOCOTR'INI should not perceive that he would, in that case, have become the victim of the perfidy of Divan. Though the Peloponnesus, by the disconcert• ing of these plots, has escaped the greatett danger that has yet threatened it, the defection of COLOCOTRONI luny under present circumstances, done great injury, in more, respects than one, to the cause of the Greeks. The Greek Journals allude, in terms of suitable tri umph and exultation,to the results of thelast campaign ; and predict for the next, new glories to Greece, and Enalrsuccess to the cause of the Cross. It is, therefore, lamentable to learn from private accounts, that these prospects have been for the moment overclousled, and that the termination of the brilliant campaign against the Infidel has been followed by a threatened " tug of war" between Greek and Greek. That it should be easier for the Greeks to conquer their barbarous op pressors than to controul the ambition and rapacity of their own Chief:—to crush the power of Inft•lel domina tion than to establish national or der and civil freedom led ruins of the social system which slavery id—will surprisenobodywho knows the state reflects on the principles of human nature. ►y, we find that COLOCOTRONI, and souse Greek Chiefs, have shewn as great a dis• resist the Greek Authorities as to revolt 'urkish.

'The Omega \ cleiCiplembia of the 7th of November, gives the following ittenigence from the Army in Peru : " The Intendant-General at Guayaquil, under date of the 29ski of September, communicates that on the preceding day a yawl ar-i rived at Guanchaco. after a voyage of six days, with news that at the period of her sailing an extraordinary courier had arrived there from the Liberating Army, with intelligence of the victory gained by the President (Bolivar) on the Apurimac, the result of which has been a loss to Camerae of 1,600 men." The preceding intelligence agrees in substance with the position of BOLIVAR'S army, as described in the accounts received by way of Buenos Ayres, and also by way of Chagres, the river Apurimac running through that country which lays between him and Cusco, to which city be was said to be advancing. The wart of dates, or of an exact poSition, or of any derails of the battle with CANTERAC, prevents our giving im• plicit credit to the communication of the Intendant of Guayaquil; but it is on the whole extremely probable, and certainly not at all inconsistent with what was known before. Mr. N. M. Rornscuan has contracted with the Bri tish Government for the Welsh Mines, as well as for certain grounds in South Wales, believed to possess ore, veheie new Mines will be commenced ; the con tract also includes Sir HUGH MIDDLETON'S Mines, which have not been worked for a great number of years. The Mines contain copper, lead, and tin; and 1 by accounts lately received, there is little doubt of their being productive, and ultimately yielding a consider able revenue. PARIS, JANUARY 17. The father of the poor deserted children to whose subscription Lady Gaarrvit.t.a contributed so liberally is an " swim Aped de Change," a" millionaire." Mrs. MOZIER gave her ball on Friday. It was attended. as usual, by the best company of Paris. In brilliancy and fashion, however, our friend itoenscnn.o continues to bear thr palm. The dietibution of the apartments in his elegant Hotel in the Rue d'Artois, allowing such an easy circulation through his whole suite of rooms, the admirable attendance, and abundance of refresh. ments, but above all the sort of vogue which his patties have ob. tained in the highest circles of fashion, insure their supremacy. The of campaign has commenced with a art hoour ofd G sax viLig, and a grand dinner on Sstur p day y t o the n Prince S ass Co auna. A ball is in contemplation, but, alas! the mourning is a ctuel enemy to all brilliancy of effect; and the total absence of colours from the dresses of the Laaies gives an almost spectral ap. pearance to the mazes of the quadrille and waltz. A more formidable enemy to dissipation, however, than even the general mourning, has appeared in the perso of the Rev.— WAT• All who know Patio and the Champs Elysi n es, must remember the beautiful model of a Grecian temple, originally erected by M. de Caolsact. in the .Tordin Marina/, and for a short time used as a Café.

On Friday night, Mr. Sloman sang a parody on (M, Love, r in which the following lines occur, Mr. Hayne being at the time in the house : " In all your letters that you write take care no vows appear, For if you ever go to Court, you'll look a title queer; Not llymen's Court I mean, with tender loves and graces, But where, instead , are seen long wigs and longer faces." Oh, 'th love, &c. The coincidence was the more curious, as there is reason to believe the singer was ignorant of Mr. Hayne's presence. ••• FASHIONABLE INTiLLIGENCi.

The Liberal Papers augur all kinds of evil from this return to the ante-revolutionary, ' abode of the Monarch.

The remains of the late Mr. DANCE, one of the Fel lows of the Royal Antiquarian Society, were this morning removed in a hearse, drawn by six horses, for interment in &Paul's Cathedral, from his residence ineower-street, Bedford-square. The procession. soosisting of six mourning coaches and four, and upwards of tweet/ private carriages, passed along the Strand and up Ludgatabile its way to the Cathedral. On Ludgate hill the procession was do. toyed some time by the crowd of alter vehicles which were passing along at the time. Accounts from the Spanish frontier state, that a pitched battle was fought in Catalonia, between a band of smugglers, who were endeavouring to introduce English contraband goods, and the whole host of Cos `torn.house officers, supported by French troops. Last Sunday, Divine Service was interrupted at St. Roche, in Paris. Two Ladies were followed from the moment of entering the church by a well-dressed young man, who, however, never spoke to them. As they knelt down, the young man pretended to let his glove fall, and kneeling down to take it up, he took away a reticule which one of the Ladies had laid on a chair, and retreated with remarkable coolness. At the first moment of surprise, respect for the sacred place made the Lady who had been plundered ouly comdlain in a low tone of voice, but her neighbours, on being infor med of it, cried out, 4 , Stop thief," which was repeated through the church, but the robber escaped. At the Wilts County Sessions, Henry Bray, a mir. tied man, was convicted of assaulting Elizabeth Wilt .shire, daughter of Timothy Wiltshire, of Westwood, who has scarcely attained her fourth year ! He 'was 'sentenced to twelve months imprisonment and bard la. boar ; and at the end of the first two months, to be publicly whipped, at Westwood. Tuesday evening, as Mr. Murrell, jun. accompanied by Mr. Lidwell, was returning home from Rochester market, his horse fell with him near the Falstaff, on Gad's Hill, by which ire was so severely hurt, that be died on Thursday. This morning, soon after nine o'clock, a fire was dis covered breaking out in the back part of a second-floor, at a tin-shop, Br own's•lane, Spitalfields ; fortunately, by the exertions of the inmates, before the arrival of any engine, it was extinguished, after doing much damage to the interior of the room. It is supposed to have ori ginated from a clothes-horse, on which some linen wad drying, in the absence of the owner falling on the fire. An Inquest was held on Monday last, at Little Stone Watch•huuse, New Romney, before SMITH COBB, Esq. on the body of Bartholomew Shea,•in the service of the Coast Blockade. From the evidence, it appeared that the poor fellow was accidentally d:owned, in the per formance of his duty, and a verdict was returned Soy ,totdingly. MISS FOODE=SECOND stun: In this sceptical age, when the merits of Shakspeare. Milton, and Potatoes, have been impugned at one fell swoop, some persons have gone so far as to affect to doubt that the faculty of second-sight is possessed by our northern brethren on the other side of the Tweed. Luckily, 'however, for the honour of Scotia, instances are too numerous and too Well anthenticated; lb permit her thus to be shorn of one of her privileges. We might refer to the assassination of Mr. Perceval, the battle of Watetloo, and to several other events, all of which were known in Scotland, before the couriers had left Lon don with the intelligence; but we shall rest our argument in defence of second sight, on a more recent otctierence. Every one knows that Miss roote's re-appeatance ttt Covent-Garden Theatre has been constantly ammo e d and deferred, and the Public is somewhat :lotions tir know bow she will be received ? Thanks to our Northern friends, we can satisfy the play.going Public in this re, spect ; and proceed at once to quote the account of her teception as it aneared in an Edinburgh Paper of ,Monday last. RE-APPEARANCE OF MISS FOOTE ON THE STAGE. Covarer.GalDEN.—The announced re-engagement of Miss Foote at this Theatre, excited so much public attehtion, that a vast crowd of persons besieged the box-dflce for several days previous, in order to secure places. Many speculated upon the general eagerness to witness her return, and disposed of the places which they bad taken at enormous prices. There had hero much discussion among the Managers as to the character in which She should first appear. It was proposed that the part should be Juliet, but it was shrewdly observed by one of the Managers. Um Juliet's lover was" faithful ;'--this remark led toot her proposals, sed it was finally determined that she should assume the part of Opittlia. Saturday night was fixed for her appearance. Every avenue of the Theatre was crowded at an early hour,inssmuch that that vi g ilant and active Magistrate, Sir Richard Birnie, ordered a posie of con 'sables to attend, for the purpose of keeping the peace, and the prevention of robbery. The theatre was almost instantaneously filled as soon as the doors were opened. Mi the scenes preceding the appearance of Miss Foote passed amidst such a buz of expec tation, that little could be heard, and yet there was no call for " Silence." At length she came forward, handed by Larne'. The moment she appeared, there was an universal rising from this seats, and a burst of congratulatory acclamation from all quarters, whiclt was several times repeated. The effect was strongly impressive on Miss Foote, who seemed ready to sink under agitation—The fe male part of the audience seemed to be particularly affected. Who will now deny the existence of seconi sight, for although it is true Miss Foote has not )et made her re-appearance on the stage, who can doubt that when this event takes place, everything will occur in the precise manner above narrated ? We learn, by letters from Kingston, Jamaica, dated early in December, that it is in contemplation, on the part of the planters, to petition the British Parliament for a compensation in money on account of the losses sustained by the late insurrections of the isegioe-... Several A; rests have been made by order of the Go vernment, in the Itoman Slates ; they have made sensation, because persons distinguished by their rank and fortune are implic,veJ. It seems that it is the Le gation of Forli which has induced these rigorous mea sures. Even at Rome ; some persons of consequence were arrested on Christmas night. By the Westmorland, arrived at Liverpool, accounts have been received from Calcutta of tie 24th of At- gust. They state that his Majesty's ship Atligatni, had a , rived therefrom Rangoon, with advice', to the 26th of July. These represented that our army suffered Much by disease; that all operations had been sus pended; and that the King of AVA had interdicted all communication with the British force, &chit ing that any bearer of propositions should be shot. The letters from Calcutta mention, that Captain GRANT, of the LIFFEY frigate, Commodore on that station, was alarm ingly ill, and one of them announces that his decease had actually taken place, The Asia, Captain LINDSAY, was loading at Rangoon, for London; and the arrival of that ship may therefore be hourly expected, with fur ther intelligence from the seat of . military operations. At the Berkshire Sessions on Thursday; the 13th of January, one Roger Pettit was indicted, under au Ace of Parliament passed in the reign of Qdeen Elizabeth, for compounding a penalty. it appeared from the evi dence, that in June last, Pettit discovered one Isaac Chapman hawking without license, which subjected the latter to a penalty of 10/. and that Pettit teceived from Chapman 20s. as the price of his forbearing to proceed against him for recovery of the penalty. Upon. the clearest evidence Pettit was foistd guilty, and was sentenced to both fine and imprisonment. By this cou viction Pettit is rendered hereafter incapable of suing upon any statute popular or penal. This is one of se veral prosecutions at the instance of the Commissioners of Hawkers and Pedlars, which have been attended with like severe effect ; and as the Commissioners are aware of this mischievous practice of compounetiug being carried on by others to a considerable extent, they are determined in every future case of the kind to rro seeute with equal rigour; and as in most cases the parry paying the composition is dissatisfied *with being thus robbed (his liability to the penalty also still continuing), he generally gives information at the office of the fact, and evidence is therefore seldom wanting to produce conviction and punishment. Twenty-three years ago, George Robbins, of Wethes field, went to tea, and was supposed to be lost. His pa rents have long mourned for hien. On Sunday last les brothers received from him the following letter, written in the Si a tish Mines f— " Yucatan, May 20, 1824. " DEAR BROTHERS—.-TbIS Is die Brat time for 14 years I have had an opportunity of writing to anybody. Fourteen years art I shipped on board a smuggling vessel in Ilavannah ; we got taken and carried in by a Spanish man of war, and were coo. demised, and all of us sentenced to three years in the Mines.— , We had been in about one year, when our Captain laid a plau, we thought to get clear, in getting out of the Mines. Our t.,ptain killed a sentinel, we were eferpoweted. our Captain was g ibbetted, and all of us sentenced to the mines fur life. The Governor has cleared one man for good behaviour, and promises to clear an of us bis neat birth-day, if we behave ourselves as well as we hare done. We are not allowed to write, but, by the help of a winos I have gut pen and paper. The man that is cleared, carries the let ter out of prison, stuck to the bottom ul his foot. To relate say misfortunes and sufferings, would be more than you can have all idea of ; but the worst of them is over, 1 hope.
