Accounts front Trieste to the 11th intl. in the Preach Papers state, that the Egyptian fleet, which , had taken 'refuge under the batteries of the island Of Caddia, was attacked on the 12th of November, by twb Greek divi sions, And * completely defeated. Twenty transports, full of troops, are said to have fallen into the hands of the conquerors. It is said, that in consequence of the continual occu pation of his time by his duties as Commander•in-Chief of the land forces in Western Greece, Prince Msvao- coar4vo had resigned his office of President of the Le gislative Body. PAtras and Lepanto are - closely blockaded by the Greeks, and such of our contemporaries as insinuated that the British Government was hostile to the Greeks, 'will see by the following proNlamation, that although we remonstrated with the Greek Government, wfien it vio lated the laws of nations, as regarded ourselves, we are ready to respect them in others.

A pri ♦ate letter from Naples, of the 6th instant. gives au ac count of a melancholy event which occurred at Pwstu.., when Mr. HUNT. late High Sheriff of Northampto. shire, was murdered by robbers.

The fine weather had attracted several English parties to view the ruins, situate, as you know, in a marsh, which pestilential exhalations render barely habitable. The few inhabitants are nut much removed from savages. A Lady, with her two daugh. ters, on returning, were stopped anJ robbed by three men, with their faces masked : they were, however, suffered to proceed without further violence. This Lady' s carriage was followed at a short distance by that of Mr. Hunt, late High Sheriff of Northamptonshire, who was accompanied by his Lady. They were stopped by the same party. Oa demanding his money, Mr. Hunt gave them a purse, containing four dollars and a few catlins, declaring that he carried no more money along with him. —To convince them of this, he even requested back a few carlins to carry him to Naples. They replied, 4 We know you have more, and if you do not surrender it, you must die.' Mr. Hunt rejoined, 4 You dare not shoot at this time of day.' He bad scarcely uttered this observation when a shot was fired, and a hall entered his left breast, passing out at the right side; although it seems only one piece was discharged, ano ther ball struck Mrs. Hunt in the left breast, and passed through the lungs. The foremost robber instantly turned round, crying, 4 Who fired that shot?' and the three immediately ran off without searching for plun der. Some officers of the Revenge were within hearing, who conveyed them to the miserable place called en inn, at Pastum, where Mr. Hunt expired almost immedi ately, expressing his regret at having refused his money. Assistance, such .ts could be had, was procured. One of the Officers even returned to Naples, and procured an English surgeon, together with gendarmes. Mrs. Hunt recovered in a slight degree, but only lingered. till yesterday, when she expired. Hunt was an only child ; he was in possession of large property, and had only been married. seven months. This event has caused a great sensation among the English here: a r • umber of gendonneo aiere iagnZately sent from Naples to search for the *epetrators of this crime, hal sitith'a police as eiists lieg es not likely to discover them.° In a 'preceding column we have kiv t en some extracts from South American Journals. There seems no doubt of Lima being occupied by the British. Ir appears, that on the approach of BeLIVAa, General Boom, who with the Spanish troops garrisoned the place, expressed to Captain Maws°, of his Bs karmic Majesty's ship the CAMIRIDGE, his inability long to hold out against the Patriot forces, and he had solicited the aid of the British ship's company to protect British property during the reign of anarchy which, from necessity, must precede the restoration of the lndepenaent Government. Ac cordingly, 100 marines were lauded from the CAN- Damn, and mere marched to Lima for the purpose of guarding British interests during what may ?se termed the interregnum. Mr. Rowcaorr entered the city at their head, when the extraordinary circumstance oc curred of the occupation of the . capital of Peru by the forces of his BRITANNIC MAJZSIT. This event i. con sidered as the precursor of the entire pacification of Peru ; for the latest advice: from the head-quarters of General Bot.tvalt, dated the 27th August, communicate the important intelligence that negociations had :Tail. commenced between General ___Rot.tvaa and the Spanish Generals LA StIINANALD6S, and CANTIRAC, the issue of which, not a do'ubt was entertained, would either be the junction of those Officers in the cause of Peruvian In 'ependence, or the return to Europe of the Spanish leaders, who, like brave Officers and patriotic men, have fully 1 erformed their duty to Spain. The following is an extract from a letter, dated Belize, Honduras, October 22: We have little or no news here ; there was a report lately, that much contusion prevailed in the countries a Ijacent to us; it was said Commagna bad declared itself independent of Guatimala, and was endeavouring to establish some for., of Government, and had sent to Trusillo and Omoa to join them and hoist their stan dard, otheiwise they would attack them ; all this part of the country is far from being settled, and the people in the seaports are very desirous of seducing our slaves, to come to them, where immediate freedom is promised ; it is said also, that Merida has declared herself independent; but, on the hole, the United Pro- vinces wof the centre of America seem not at all to have that stability, that system of order, thTit prevails in Colombia or Mexico. Indeed, we are uncomfortably placed amongst them ; there is little or no safety in travelling." I . ~t~iiill AID THE KIAG. Wittman. Dec.

BOW-SAM: ET-THIS DAY. -. 11111...- CHRISTMAS Amidst the various groups, who, sole against their will, at tended at this odee this morning, was a p isty of no less main'. nit ode than forty-two in number. The worthy Magistrate having disposed of the respective charges of assault and battery, in the course of which various da maged heads, torn hats, bonnets, caps, &e. were produced, pro. carded to bear the charge in question. A party of the police, about two o'clock to the morning, were attracted by the snood of music, in what has been termed the Assembly Rooms, situate in Ship-yard, Pickett-street. Aware that it was an illegal meeting, for it appears the proprietor had not obtained a license to have in his rooms music and dancing, they, sans cerationis, greeted the assemblage with God tdas yew, merry Geltikllllo4.—The dismay soon spread around, and this friendly visit was soon discovered to be of serious import to some whose parents bad not been aware of the precise situation in which the younger branches of their families were placed. Amongst the group were undertaken, tailors, Ladies' dress-ma ken, milliners, &c. bat it is but just to state, that It did not appear that one loose fish had been present. The worthy Magistrates having informed the respective parties of the liability they were un der of being sent, not to trip it merrily to the mellifluous sounds of the harp, but to go step by step on the tread-mill, discharged them with an admonition not to trespass again. The Proprietor of the rooms was called upon, under the Act of Parliament, to answer for his crmdu ct,and the fine of coarse inflicted.

Me& ~. :.~-. ~~0.~ RAMSGA7'E, DECEMBER 27. Three steam-packets, bound from Calais to Dover, came into Ramsgate harbour on Friday evening, having on board nearly three hundred passengers. They were unable to get into Dover. Sunday morning, shunt one o'clock, the Arrow steam-racket, with nearly one hundred passengers, also arrived here, having the day before, in attempting to get Into Calais, struck against the Pier and not being able to enter that port, was compelled to make for Ramsgate harbour. She ailed this morning for Dover, but ha just returned again, not being able to enter that harbour, in come- quenett of the bar. The Calais selling mall packet arrived here this morning, as the bar still continues to block up the entrance of Dover harbour. &r William Curti, is now at Ramsgate, and, as Chairman to the Trustees of the Royal Harbour, has given every nece4alry direc tion towards facilitating the landing of passengers, carriages, and baggage, for which purpose one of the cranes has been removed to a part of the cross waU, near the West Pier, a situation particularly well adapted for the purpose, as it is not only most convenient for steam-ve,sels,which require a quick discharge of their living freight, but is entirely out of the way of the sailing vesiels. There are nearly three hundred sail of vessels at present in this harbour, wind bound. Six, P.

Mr Roses: Breetscis has paid a visk to Portsmouth Dock-yard, with a view to make some alteration in placing the hawse holes of ships of the line. It is understood to be his intention to work the cables on the middle deck of three-deck ships, and upper deck of two-deck ships. The PHAZTON will proceed to Sheerness about the middle of the next month, where she is to take in an iron main-mast and bow sprit, for the purpose of making a trial of thern. The Esc is not now expected to arrive at Spithead before the beginning of January. The ROYAL Oat, 74, is ordered to be brought forward in the Dock-yard at this port, and to be fitted as a receiving hulk ; it be lag Intended that she should be stationed at the naval arsenal of Bermuda, for the purpose of receiving the crews of such ships as may be undergoing a refit at that place. The. Fes ars, 10-gun brig, is expected to be commissioned shortly We understand that much dissatisfaction has been expressed by he mechanics *ho have been employed as labourers in all the dif t etent Dock-yards in the kingdom, except that at Portsmouth, so the subject of their labour and wages. The Lords of the Admi ralty having determined on again reducing the establishment, as 'order has been issued for the discharge of 775 men from the yards; but in consequence of the exemplary conduct of the labourers at Portsmouth, in refraining from the continued complaints which have been sent from all the other arsenals, not a single man at this port is to be removed. The discharge will, therefore, consist of a proportion taken trout each of the other Dock-yards. Tice ship wrights and labourers have further received the unqualified thanks of their Lordships, for their expeditious and able exertions in the care of his Majesty's ships at this port during the Lite storm.. Mr. WM. Hume Boon, Purser, has been appointed to the Rasa, vice Hussain. Major H. Cox is appointed a Pay Captain of the Portsmouth division of Royal Marines, in the room of the late Lieutenant-Colonel &soon. Wittman. Lieutenant &vas, chief Officer of the Brownsea station, is Ns moved to Rut Cowes; and Lieutenant Fiume, of the %Vernet& station, is appointed to the Brownsea station. His Majesty's re venue cotter Sustowea, is appointed to 'the coast guard station at Poole. Tuesday, the young Gentlemen educated at the Royal Naval College, as well as the students of naval architecture, underwent the usual half yearly examination of the propels each had respec tively made in the various branches of their education, befogs a Committee of Officers, consisting of the Port Admiral (Sir GUODGI Mains), Captain Gstastast EDITH Hannon), C.B. of his Majesty's ship Wmarsuir, and Commissioner the Honourable Sir Gnome Glut, Bart. and H.

The cause was the striking of the seamen for an augmentation of wages, which the Companies have complied with. CHRISTMAS FARE. —Some idea of the loving kind. ness of John Bull's countrycousins, may be formed from the fact that nearly 2,000 parcels, containing turkeys, geese, game, &c. were delivered from one inn, the White Horse, fetter-lane, on Friday last. The greater part of them were sent home. Supposing each parcel to weigh 121 b. which is less than the average wtight, the total amount would be 21 tons 4 cwt. 321 b. The greater portion of this immense quantity was sup. , plied from the cognties of Norfolk and Suffolk; and such was the loading of the coaches, that one of them,' the Fakenharn, which should al rive early in the morn ing, did not arrive until after eight in the evening ; and the Norwich did not reach home till mid-day.

The Pantomime is entitled . Harlequin and the lathing Bird; or, the siaging 7 rees Golden Waters. In the course of it we ate delighted *ith a very fine sea view, while we are, at the same time, amused with MDR of the tricks of the Chan and his comrades. The qui; against the size of the hairy caps of the Guards had no point, and failed ; and the pickpockets at the Lord Mayor's Shew did not deserve much booty, from ,their evident want of skill in their adventurous vocation. —The omission-of both those scenes, and that of the riv arof the rocket ce.tch, might also be advantageous ; although we must confess there was a something ludi crous in the racket seizing en the dickey behind the coach, and twirling amen and Pantaloon in the midst of the fires which the rocket emitted. The procession of the gla s-blowers might shale a similar fate. The panoramic view was good; and the transformation of a few old houses into the premises of the Steam-wash ing Company, was amongst the best hits in the mecha nical department of the piece. The shop was closed too suddenly, but, perhaps, it was intended to apply to some other scene. Auld Riekie, a scene b' Stanfield. was a fine specimen, and some of our Edinierrgh friends, who sat near us, recognized the Cal on Hill, and the Tron Church, and rart of the New Town of Edinburgh, with eai nest feelings of delight. In point, however, of effect, the Haunted Kitchen, painted by HOLLOOAN and ADAMS, was decidedly. the favourite. It is a burlesque on the incantation scene . in Der Freischutz, and is very well managed. Bone of the scenes are admirable specimens of art—we would par ticularly notice the fi rst and last scenes. Master ED SIONDS was deservely encored in a very pretty Scotch air, and the curtain fell amidst general appliuse. The machinery was well worked, considering it was the first representation of the Piece, and with a few necessary curtailments, we hope it will become a faionrue with the Public for the usual period. COVENT-GARDEN . .. Last night, after the tragedy of George Barnwell had been acted to a very numerous, but, as usual ..n holi days, noisy and impatient audience, a new pantomime was produced, entitled Harlequin and the i tiwgon of Wently, or More of More Hall. It opens with a view of the interior of a Copper-mine arid a p and chorus of Miners, then changes to the Palace of Sulphurball, a fiery milignant spirit leagued with the Dragon, a inch last, after divers 'sanguinary pranks, being vanquished by a Knight Errant, Mote. of More Hall is trans formed into the Clown. More, of More Hall, having stipulated that as the reward of his valour ghoul I he overcome the Dragon he should be entitled to the love liest of all Yorkshire lasses, is about to assert his lights, when the banns are forbidden by a riva, Sulphurball, who constitutes the Clown and Pantaloon AS the cham pions of his pretensions. By a spell the Fairy of the Fountain transforms the maid to Columbine, the Knight, Mr. ISAAps, to the Harlequin, Mr. ELLAR The usual pantomimic noise and bustle sue eed, and e leave Yorkshire altogether, after taking a par-irk view of the ancient city in a picturesque perspective by Gni Evic. There are one or two novel tricks attempted—the first the removal by Harlequin of the Y ik Mail into the White Horse Inn, Fetter-lane; the , econd, the turning upside down the Stand-house on Eosom Race-ground, from which the company are seen makir.g their escape, also turned topsy turvy. This excited considerable laughter. These were also representations of the go t therhithe intended tunnel lighted with gas, which ex ploding sets the Thames on fire. to the infinite torture of the boiling fish : the Horns at Kennington, Ep-om Town, Blackfriars-bridge, etc. but the scenes tr. rte w filch much was, expected were the grand Sailing Match, represented in a moving Panorama, sliming the effect of the improvements on the North bank of the Thames according to the plan of Colonel Trench. . To enliven this view, which in itself was beautiful and interesting. the grand sailing match was introduced. The waggon in danger of being overwhelmed by a land flood, was a good perspective piece of painting The transmutatioh into a gay vessel was r apid and agreeable. Epsom Race-Course was clearly the appui of the piece, and was well described, as far as, respected scenery ; and the grouping of apptoprice figures, v.i h 11,1 clear ing of the Course, were all effective, and hple strimg resemblance to the attractive re.dity of E;.som Downs: ELLAR and GRIMALDI the younger exerted themselves most successfully. Miss RoMatt, a nth a pretty face and person, possesses a neatness and si:irit in her dancing which every day tender her a greater favourite with the public. She performed Columbine extremely well. The concluding scene was excessively splendid, representing the Fairy Palace of Fountains. We have seldom seen anything more appropriate to a grand tale of enchant meut. Doubtless considerable pains have been taken 'in getting up the piece, which was announced for repe► tition amidst general applause. ADRLPHI THEATRE. This popular Theatre was, as usual, extremely well attended last night, and the performances affors.!ei much amusement to the - audience. The Butletta of -the Life of an Actor maintains its attraction, and will, together with the new Pantomime of Mother Red Cap, be a great treat to the juvenile holiday toilc,, and great convenience to their patents, as th,.- pettniMAUCCS are finished at a seasonable hour each night. Ti.e see• nery of the new Pantomime is excellent, and it abounds in whimsical changes, and some ridinioaille u mks. Mr. W. KIRBY, in Harlequin, and Mrs SZARLS, in Columbine, acquittesl thens,elves ssith infinite vivAcity, and the dancing was m,ch an I deservedly admired. The Pantomime was also much indehteJ to the comic dancing of Mr. IN a LBOURY, MT. ELLIOTT A% Prostalooth, and the drollery of Signor PAULO as the Clown. It appears froth an official statement just published, that these are '256 Catholic Chapels in ENzland, 71 charity and other schoOs, and 348 officiating Psi ••1 : thece twelve chapel', one schi•ol, and eight . s, are in the county of pants; 'ix chapels aht. 6:c itt Sussex ; alive chapels and tv , ..
