The report that the European Powers are about to interfere between the Greeks and Turks gains ground. The Eta e contains an article fi cat Tino of the tith ult. which states, that is Expresses have been sent with orders from the Government of the Mores. to convoke at Napoli di Romania, Deputies from all the Islands and Provinces in arms. These Deputies are called together to elect a king of Greece. Some persons pretend that it will be a flung-Arian Prince; others say, a Greek of very noble descent. The Greek Deputies in Lon. don, are Stated to have counselled the Government of the Mores to hasten the election of a King,who should be powerfully supported." Much as we Should rejoice to see the sanguinary contest termi nated, at:d Greece raised to an independent State, yet there are a great number of difficulties in the way, besides the obstinacy of the Ottoman Porte ; we trust, however, that those difficulties are not insuperable. The Journal des Deosts states, that the Rentes convened only amount to ten millions two hundred thousand francs, and makes i: the subject of an attack on M. us Messrs. This forenoon we received the Austrian Observer to the 22d ult.. and other German Papers of a late date.

In our Paper of the 9th of June, we gave, from the 4thersian an account of the taking of Odysseus. We have now received the fulko•ving particulars (runs a traveller, who left Athens at the end of 'May. " In the neighbourhood of . Salona, Odysseus was abandoned by shiest all his followers. They went over to the Greeks, who were opposed to him, under the command of Goura. Just about this time, he was informed by a Tusk. with whtm he was on a confi dential footing, that it was intended to arrest him, by virtue of an order that had come from Constantinople, and to bring him dead or alive to Negrepont. This plan was to be executed that night. —Odysseus quickly took his resolutitte ; concerted with his few followers a pretended Hight, pursued them with loud cries, add in this manner happily escaped before the Turks well knew what was the matter. He hoped to be well treated by his countrymen, as they happened to be some of those who bad formerly been u nder his command. Goura had lists put in chains, and led him past the cavern where the family of Odysseus and his brother-in-law still reside. An attempt was made to induce them to give up this retreat, but it failed. Hereupon Odysseus was sent to Megara, where the people were going to stone him to death ; and he was hayed only by his guards covering him with their cloaks.— From Megan he eras brought to Salamis, and on the 11th May to Athens. In the streets of that. city a woman struck him in the face with stones, and the populace were incensed against him, re proaching him with his arbitrary executions, and especially with hat of a Papa, whom be had .ordered to be walled up. The Government had given orders to send the prisoner to Napoli; but the Captains of Goers) refused, answering . that Odysseus was safer at Athens than at Napoli. He was shewn to me ; he is confined in the Acropolis. in a square lowers apposite the Propylaea and the ramparts, which be bed mat daring the time he was Governor ; and there is an inacriptimen a stane -4 this work emPlated in common by Odysseus and Clonra, the Generals cf tireeee.'

FRANK-(THIS DAY). -...-- The Commissioners appointed in the writ de lunatico inquirendo, resumed their sitting at 10 o clock this morning. Several witnesses were examined, who spoke to scenes of dis gusting sensuality, similar to those already in evidence, as having occurred under such circumstances as left no moral doubt but that this unhappy Gentleman must have been aware of them. The most important witness, however, was Mr. Hair, a Solicitor; re. siding at Norwich, who for many years bad managed the estates of Mr. Frank. This Gentleman spoke to several conversations in which Mr. Frank had talked about being made Bishop of Norwich. At other times be would talk of getting made a County Magistrate,l and at others would be in the greatest mental despondency, in the course of. which .ke would attempt violence on himself. On the whole he was convinced of his insanity.—The ietestlgailon was going on when we went to press. The Duke of WELLIK6IOII has left England on his, ordinary tour of inspection of the fortresses In the Netherlands, un which, in pursuante of the treaties with that country, a part of the indemnity paid by France is to be etpended under the supervision of his Grace.

" Vegetation (says he) will frequently be refreshed only by the dew. Westerly winds will bring only clouds, and rarely partial, hut never continued rains. The hottest days will be in the month of July—mere so than in 11119 and 189.2. A long dry and hot autumn will favour the vintages. Between the 10th of Sep tember and the 10th of October, at three in the morning, the raze and interesting j unction will be effected (near Regulus, the fi rst star of the Lion) of three of the most luminous planets, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter. which will all contribute to the light and heat, and procure us beautiful autumn 'I mornings."

On the sante day, while the officers were conveying the hearse to its new destination, they also seized .1 horse• and an additional thirty gallons of whisky, in ten casks. The man who belonged to this latter venture came boldly up to inquire who the deceased was, and where he was to be buried? and found to his surprise, that an old acquaintance had been drowned whilst bathing, and the people bringing the beam from Newcastleton to convey him to the place of interment, thinking the opportunity an excellent one for out witting the °Seers,. concealed the '.bisky within it!

LIMERICK, JULY 28. Edward Tviim, a private of the 39th Regiment, was capitally in dicted for having, on the sth of September, I 8!4, at Abbeyfeale, shot at and killed John David Roche. The facts of this case were briefly as follows :—A riot occurred at Abbeyfeale on the day the unfortunate man was shot. The military were called out, but previously to their going, received orders from the Magistrates and Constabulary " to quell the riot and not to fire." The riot had nothing nf a political nature in it, but was one of those factious outrages which continually occur in lrebnd at the country fairs. The parties were called " Abbeyfealians and Monavellians." They met and attacked each other furiously with. sticks and stones. The battle continued for some time, when the Noitaveilians pre vailed and the other party retired. On their retreat, howeve4 ' they were pursued by their opponents, and th e fi g h t was renewed small detached parties of three and four, as well as. in individual combats. Lieutenant Cole, who commanded , the military. ordered his men to prime and load, with a view to intimi date the people, and then to proceed after the rioters.—The deceased had been fighting with a man of the name 'of Hart nett, whom he had knocked down. Not content with knocking him down, he was endeavouring to beat out his brains with stones. In this extremity Hartnett called on the military to save his life. The prisoner and two of his comradet came to the assistance of Hartnett, and rescued him from the deceased. The prisoner was struck with a stone while getting Hartnett from. the deceased. After this the deceased ran away,and the prisoner pursued him,along a bridge, when the prisoner deliberately rested his gun on the walls of the bridge, took aim, and shot deceased in the side. He died on the following day. After this event the riot ceased. The prisoner received a most excellent character, as a man and isoldier. The Jury found him Guilty of Manslaughter, but re commended him to mercy. Sentence, twelve months imprison ment, from the day of his committal, and to be burned in the kind. The prisoner had been out on bail several months. Such is the deadly hatred which subsists between the clans and factions of the Irieh peasantry, that there was not a person in Abbeyfe:ile who would provide a horse, even for bite, for the purpose of sending for a surgeon to administer medical assistance to the wended man, because he belonged to another factitm ! . , EXECUTION OF PATRICK KIRLEY—Fimas, Jotv.29. A few minutes after three this day, this unfortunate man ap , Reared on the platform, in front of the New County Prison, to suf fer for the murder of Mr. Hurst. He was 6tm, but he observed a decency of demeanour befitting his awful situation. The convict was attended by three Roman Catholic Clergymen, to whose spiritual advice he seemed to pay every attention. Whenhe first appeared on the scaffold, a still silence seemed to fix the attention of t'..e im mense crowd below, it having been runsoured that he denied his guilt, and that be would do so publicly before he was launched offs In this the crowd were disappointed, as, shortly before the sig,nal that was to separate him from this world, he turned round to those who were on the p'atform, his back to the multitude, declaring to them that be was fully prepared to die; that as he trusted i:t the mercy of his Gon, h e h a d no apprehension oideath, but that he could not depart this world without declaring in the most solemn manner that he was innocent of the crime for which he was then going.to suffer; adding, that he neither aid e d nor ass i ste d i n t h e murder of dr. Hurst. The Mayor and several Gentlemen of great respectability ,were present. One of the Clergymen, addressing him on the awful consequences of such a denial, if not true, Kirley said he well knew the result, were he to meet his Goo with a false hood on his tongue; and he repeated his declaration. Notwiths standing this extraordinary denial, the public mind is awfully divided, as in no instance on record was a clearer.case-made , or one that, in every Unk of the evidence, was more conclusive or satisfactory to the ends of public justice. A . reinatkable circum stance took place shortly before the execution, the convict having been married to Bridget Dillon, the woman who was tried wilts him let the murder • the reason assigned f or t hi s s i ngu l ar marriage at that time was, that he had sworn to marry her some months before.
