It is reported that a Gentleman is in town, who left Lima on the 28th May, and states that the Army of the Royalists was 26,000 men, in good order, and had plenty of money with them, and did not fear in the least an attack of General BOLIVAR. We give this, however, as a mere on dit, to which little credit is due. The following is an extract from a letter written by the Agents to Lli.yd's at Constantinople, dated Aug. 26: " By an Express from the Dardanelles, of the 24th, just received, we learn the arrival there of his Majesty's ship Medina, wi;11 %% 7 111.'1%1111er, Esq. the Secretary of. this Embassy, on board." In a preceding part of this column we have given some intelligence from Constantinople, received tin ough the French Journals, by which it appears some disturbances had taken place in the Tuikish capital. They ate silent as to the operations of the fleet of the Captain Pacha, but we learn, by the following extract from a letter written by the agent to Lloyd's at Smyrna, dated the 17th of August, that nothing decisive was known on the subject : 44 There are many rumours of hostile movements against Samos, to which we do not attach any credit, but the Captain Pacha appears to be in the vicinity of the island, and making preparations for the attack." Private Letters from Constantinople state, that the Captain Pacha had received orders from the Porte positively to attack Hydra, the capture of which it was supposed would throw the Greek Government into the greatest alarm. Samos also was to be attacked, and in both instances no quarter was to he given. A gunpow der magazine belonging to the Seraskier Daavisn PACIIA has been set on fire at Larissa, and many of his troops had perished in the explosion. This, together with want of money and provisions, are given as the reasons which impeded th• advance of this Commander, who, however, we know from other quarters, had made the attempt, and been defeated. Accounts from Alexandria, to the beginning of July, state that trade was excessively dull there, owing to the numbers of the military, who thronged the city, and greatly impeded business. IBRAHIM PACIIA was re siding at Alexandria at that time, but observed a strict incognito. The war with the Greeks was by no means so popular in Egypt as in Turkey : the generality of the Egyptians were careless upon the subject. Some re ports of a new irruption of the Wechabites were current at Alexandria when the letters left, but did not obtain much credit. The French Papers still dwell on the funeral of his late MAJESTY. Private letters also teem pith descrip tions of the ceremony, and speculations as to the future conduct of CHARLES X. who commences his reign auspiciously. One of the first measures, on his acces sion, was to pardon thirty French soldiers and Officers out of the number sentenced to death, for having served against France during the Spanish war. He has now granted life to the remaining twenty-one, and has com muted the punishments inflicted on 242 other military individuals, who had also taken steps hostile to the ex istence of his dynasty. The Faculty of Law at Gre noble had been suppressed, in 1821, on account of the spirit of, the Students. It is now restored by a Royal Ordonnance, countersigned by the Bishop of HERSIGpo. Lis, who had hitherto been thought inimical to the pro- 1 grecs of instruction. The title of Royal Highness granted to the Duke of OaLEANs has been extended to all his children and to his sister, and should the course adopted be carried on throughout the whole of the present reign, there is no doubt of its being one of general tranquillity and hap piness. Indeed, we stated some time ago, that although the Ministry may be changed, there will be no material alteration in the policy of the French Government.— Private letters from Paris state, that the ex-Minister CHATEAUBRIAND is to be reconciled by a pension to his continued exclusion from office ; for, though no very strong objections are understood to exist on the part of the KING to his re-introduction to the Ca billet, provided a reconciliation could be effected between him and M. de VlLLat.a; yet, as that is impracticable, and the services of the latter Minister cannot at present be dispensed with, the alternative of a pension to M. de CHATRAUBRIAND alone remains to express the Royal sense of his merits when in power. The amount of the pension fixed upon for M. de CHATEAUBRIAND is said in the Paris letters to be 20,000 francs, or about 8001. sterling only—a sum so moderate, that it is presumed he has only been induced to accept it as a compensation for the sacrifices he has been called on to make, by the hope of exchanging it, at no very distant period, for the solid advantages of a seat and ascendancy in the Cabinet. We hear that the Princess of Coautto is gone to Gotha with M. LINDIENOU, First Minister of Gotha, where she will remain till the differences that hare arisen are wholly arranged.—llam burgh limper. Count and Countess LIEVEN arrived in town yester day, from the Earl of Jeasirr's seat, Middleton Park, Bedfordshire The Duke of DEVONSHIRE has left town for Lord G. IL CAVZXDISIeS seat, Compton-place, Eastbourne, for a few days. The Honourable General Tnevoa and family left town yesterday, for their seat, Lewes, Sum:. Lady CAROLINE LAMB left town yesterday, for her seat, Brucker Hall. The Earl of FALMOUTH left his seat, Woolhampton, Berks on Sunday, for Tregothan, Cornwall. The Honourable WILLIAM LAMB left town yesterday, fur Sir Joins Sasaroxv, Bart.'s, seat, Beachwood, Hens. Lord Groans BINTINCK has left town, to join his Regiment at Salthill, Berks. Lord VALLETORT was on Wednesday elected Mayor of the borough of Plympton, and a bolyday was held on the occa sion. Plymptoo may now be said to have a Lord Mayor. The duty on foreign wool was reduced to 3d. on Saturday week, and in December it will be reduced to Id. FRACAS EITRAORDINARY.—Friday morning, a nup tial party was assembled at the house of a most re spectable Gentleman in Upper street, Dublin, when a scene of rather an extraordinary nature occurred, whereby the nuptials of the " happy pair" - have been postponed, Rd libitum. The carriages were in attendance to convey the bridal pair and the company to church, when an altercation took place between the bride elect and the bridegroom that was to he, which ended in his making his escare through the window, and over the rails in front of the house, hallooed and pursued by a crowd which the uproar had collected. We understand that the young Lady has ten thousand pounds to her fortune.—Dublin Morning Post. The variations in the donate for the last two days have been very great. On Sunday there was a clear sky and bracing air ; Monday morning there was a soaking rain, and, at eleven o'clock, the metropolis was enveloped in so dense a fog, it was necessary to light , lamps and candles, the atmosphere was so dark. To. wards twelve o'clock the fog and clouds dispersed, and in the evening the sun shone. Party spirit is so high in Edinburgh (an Edinburghian was lately telling in London), that Whigs and Tories are not invited to meet at the same tables! "We are still worse in London," observed one of the company, "for we give dinners for the sake of making panics, and include persons of every way of thinking." THE ARMI'. The 6Sth (2d York North Riding) Regiment of Foot has marched from Edinburgp t and will arrive four divisions, viz. on the 17th , 28th, 28th, and 30th instant. at Portpatrick, for the pur pose of 'inheriting for Donaghadee on its route to Belfast. The 97th Regiment, now'in Winchester Garrisod, we under stand, will not leave England so early as was originally intended, an official 'communication having been received, that they are to re main in their present quarters until the ensuing spring. THE GREEKS AND THE TURKS. TRIM TDB EYOILE or SUNDAY. CONSTANTINOPLE, AUGUST 26. Tlie great changes which were announced in the Ot toman Ministry have extended no farther than the de position of the Aga of the Jani s saries, Hussein Pacha, the Sultan's son-in-law. The unheard-of severities which he exercised in his command had rendered him so odious the Janissaries, that an insurrection of that formidable body a as every moment to be apprehended. It is to be presumed that the deposition of the Aga of the Janissaries will be followed by that of the Grand Vizir, his particular friend. In general, public opinion frequently manifests it-elf by threatening murmurs. It is certain that the Captain Pacha has sailed towards S.imos, but it is not yet so certain that the Greeks have taken, as is a -serted, 20 vessels, with 2000 men on board. The links ptetend that a landing has already been effected upon Samos at one point; but this is not at all credible : the Sow:wears of the 17th of August does not say a word about it. The Sau.iots have taken ail imaginable measures to sell dearly to the Baibarians the conquest of their island. All their valuable effects, every kind of provisions, has been convey ed to the mountains, and the plain country will be laid waste ou the appearance of the Nlussulmen. It is said the Egyptian fleet continues at anchor about the side of Rhod e :. _ _ _ A Turkish corps had advanced to Athens, but found the Acropolis strongly garrisoned by the Greeks. The Seraskier Dervisch Pacha has not been more for tunate than his predecessors; he has lost almost all his army in attempting to force the passage of the Thermopylae. Placards have been formed on the walls of Constanti nople, in which even the Sultan himself is menaced with death it he does not let his sun, who is now 11 years old, accompany him to the Mosque. It is reported in the Seraglio, that the young P. ince is attacked by epilepsy ; but the Janissaries attest that he enjoys excellent health, and that it is only a political reason which prevents his being shewn to the people. EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER. " NAPOLI 111 Itoruxu, AUGUST 8. " The moment the Greek Government were apprised with certainty, that the Egyptian fleet were about to sail for the Archipelago, they adopted many vigorous meal sures. A corps of troops vs as landed at Hydra for the defence of that island. An army of 12,000 strong has also just assembled in the centre of the Peloponnesus which is intended to act as a reinforcement. It is ready to march upon whatever point of the peninsula may be menaced by the enemy. Other corps occupy the prin cipal roads leading ftom the southern and western coasts into the interior. Being placed in strong posi tions, they are sufficient to arrest, at least, the first movements of the enemy. " Besides these measures, a general appeal to arms has been addressed to the people by the Government, who are now completely armed. The appeal has been heard, for the love of independence particularly animates this people, and every Peloponnesian is ready, on the first signal, to join the ranks, and march against the enemy. " To judge by the measures which the Government has taken, and by the spirit which animates the popu lation, the whole Peloponnesus, on the first cry of alarm, will transform itself into a camp. Besides, the forces of the Pacha of Egypt form but a third of the expedition of 1822, under Chourschid Pacha, which penetrated into this island, but which in a short time were en tirely destroyed."

We noticed no alterations in the general appearance of the house—indeed no change seemed to be necessary, as the decorations of last season have not yet lost any of their splendou.. The princi pal performers, as they came in successively on the stage, were greeted with flattering tokens of " auld acquaint ance." There was son - ethtng peculiarly cordial in the reception of Mrs. DAVENPORT-a veneration mingled with regard, for those happy traits of talent which have shone through so many winters, and still continue un impaired. JONES, too, was welcomed in an affectionate manner, for, amidst his wildest flights of gaiety, there appears always a genuine vein of good nature, which remains on the memory long after the scene and its merriment are forgotten. To CHARLES KEMELE a distinguished tribute of ap plause was paid on his entrance. Of his performance as Romeo it is unnecessary to speak, as public opinion is settled with respect to its merits. A similar reason prevents us from commenting upon the Juliet of Miss F. H. KELLY, who is much improved in personal ap pearance, and was very favourably received. The general effect of the tragedy was, however, impaired by the interruptions which were caused by some noisy persons in the gallery, who came chiefly to see the pan tomime. The cock,-the cat, the rat, the dog, and the meal sack,were, in their eyes, infinitely superior to all the poetry of SHAKSPEARE ; and they had their enjoyment. The house was well filled, especially after second price. Count FLEMING is appointed Mirshal of Sweden, in the place of the late Count Von Essex. _ _ A law has been promulgated in Norway, consisting of numerous articles, fixing with great Precision the limits between the civil and military jurisdiction. A I:andsome ship of the line, the Dronning Maria, of 84 guns, was recently launched at Copenhagen, in the presence of their Majesties the King and Queen of DIDIMARIL. An extraordinary deputation of the Canton of the Prisons, in Switzerland, is to go to Milan, as soon as the Emperor of Auseata shall arrive there, in order to solicit of his Imperial Majesty the final adjustment of various points in dispute between the Canton and the Kingdom of Lombardy. An Imperial Ukase has been issued at Warsaw, by which Jews, who have hitherto inhabited the principal streets of that city, are commanded to remove, by the Ist May, 1825, into the most remote streets;whith are assigned them. This ordonnance will be enforced when the time expires, without any exception whatever. Our Papers are lull of accounts of the damage done by a dreadful storm of thunder and lightning, which passed over the provinces of North Holland, Zealand, Friesland, Groningen, Drenthe, &c. along the frontiers of Munster, and which continued, without intermission, from nice in the eve ning of the 15th, till nine the following morning. Several farm-houses were struck by the lightning and burnt, and numbers of cattle killed in the fields.—Detch Alper. • There is a great deal of company still at Margate and Brighton, as it is considered very inefaskimale to be seen in the month of September in town. _ _ The claims upon the house in Berners-street are said to amount to about £500,000, and the met, to about £400,000. Advices from the Isle of Frmice still complain that business is very low. The Governor had become very popular in consequence of the improvements he was making in the Island by constructing roads, &c. and lessening the impositions formerly laid on the shipping. On the Ist of January, the Batalago Act was done away with, and ships allowed to load or unload in their own boats, paying twenty chents per ton. to Government. The SLANEY, of 20 guns, had sailed for Ceylon, on the -16th January, and two men of war brigs had put to sea, to look after a Fiench schooner taken by one of them, having slaves on- board. Captain Clat k.on of the Nancy, from Penang, was in confinement on a se rious charge, connected with the death of one of his ' men, and was to be kept in custody until a Judge ar rived to try him. The Emperor of RUSSIA has, by an Imperial Ukase, ordered a levy of two men out of every 500 persons in his dominions, which, taking the whole prpulation at fifty millions, will produce 200,000 recruits. This is rather a large force, and although the Manifesto issued on the occasion says, that it is intended to replace the vacancies occasioned in his armies and fleets by the " oidinaiy diminutions," and the retirement of the soldiers who had completed their time of service, it appears too considerable not to have in view some ~other object, which the future will reveal.

MR. SECRETARY CANNING. Thursday, the Right Hon. Gentleman, accompaniel by Lord HOWARD DE WALDEN, Sir S. BRUCE, ti c LORD MAYOR, &c. visited • the Foundling tiospi tA l , James -street, every part of which he inspected ru,s,-, minutely. The Right Hon. Gentleman witnessed the children (about twelve hundred) at dinner, and seemed much surprised when he was informed that there sere upwards of six thousand at nurse, exclusive of what was then present, and that in such an institution there should be upwards of seven thousand children withoat acknowledged parent. From thence he proceeded to the Richmond Penitentiary, Circular-road. The good order, regularity, and industry that pervaded this establishment, struck him most forcibly. After which he visited the Post-office. He particularly inspected all the departments. The Ri A lit• Hon. Gentleman hay ing expressed a wish to see the manner in which the Mails were made up, a number of the clerks were im mediately summoned, and the receiver being opened, the whole process was gone through, with which Mr. Se. crctary CANNING seemed highly gratified. He subse- quently pat took of a splendid d ej eune provided by Sir EDWARD LEES. The Right Honourable Gentleman re turned to the Viceregal Lodge, where a select party were assembled to meet him at the table of the LORD LIEU TENANT. Friday, Mr. Secretary CANNING proceeded with the LORD LIEUTENANT, who was accompanied by his suite, and escorted by a guard of honour, to Mala hide Castle, on a visit to Colonel TALE and partook of an elegant entertainment. This day, the Noble Mar quis and Mr. Secretary CANNING were to confer a simi lar honour on the Duke of ,LElNsrza, at his seat at Car ton. Mr. Secretary CANNING has not been in Dublin tia now since he was eighteen years of age ; and the im provements and alterations which have been made itt this city during that interval have excited his surprise and admiration. To-morrow is fixed, we understand, tor the departureof the Right Hon. Gentleman for England. COMBINATIONS. StRIKC OF WORK.-It is calculated that above 5009 operatives are at presesent idle in Glasgow and neigh bourhood. Last Sunday, parties of cotton•spihtlers were seen at Lochlomond, on pleasure excursions. This week the nailors have turned nut for an advance of wages. At their Meeting on Monday, they agreed that the advance should be 3d. a thousand, and those of the trade that could not find sr ork at this rate, were to be furnished with Is. from each nailor, who amount to about 100, to carry them to another town. Several dis-, sentients from this resolution have been much annoyed ever since. Tuesday night, about eleven o'clock, while two men were working in a shop in kirk-streity.Calton, a stone, about two pounds weight was thrown at them, which went close by one of their heads, and rebounding against the side of a window, it broke ih two. Another sharp pointed stone, of more than a pound weight, was next thrown in, but providentially the men escaped un hurt. The:nano: s came to the Calton Police-office with the stones, and Serjeant Leckie sent out a party to es cort them home. One fellow, who was charged with having thrown I stone, was seized and taken to the office, and behaved in a most outrageous tnanner. He said he would suffer three months' imprisonment in Bridewell to get that in fernal Portuguese rascal rooted out of trade, alluding to one of the masters present. He whistled and sung; and paced through the office in the most majestic style, saying he would suffer anything for the cause of liberty, and that, thank Goo! they had got up their prices in dependent of that old rascal. He said they could sood• do for him ; he was the greatest rascal in Scotland. A fellow at the door, who cried he would take sits months of Bridewell to get this man out of trade, was also seized, and lodged with his companion in the Police office. Yesterday the case came before the sitting Ma gistrate, but was dismissed for want of sufficient proof. —Glasgow Chronicle, Sept. 23. We ate informed that the attempt made to induce the Hamilton weavers to leave Mt. Hutchison has failed. Within the last two months his agent has got an addi tion of between 90 and 100 of the principal weavers of Hamilton ; and they could instantly be increased to 500 if they were needed. Last Saturday, two delegates appeared at Latkhall, but they were not attended by the weavers. In Patkhead, the combination • against Mr. Hutchison may be considered as approaching to • a close. At a district meeting on Monday night, it Was declared that the weavers had made large sacrifices ;or no purpose, and that the case was entirely hopeless; and some of the weavers intimated their determination to go back to their former employer.- Ibid. The riband•manufacture in Coventry and neighbour , hood, is in a more flourishing state at.the present sea son than has ever been remembered ; an , adequate, supply for the demand cannot be produced, which has caused a general advance in wages thrucighout the trade, and a trifling one also in manufacture& stock ;.but as silks have risen very considerably in price, Witil-illb expectation of an additional advance, in consequence of the unprecedented consumption leaving the niarket unusally bare, a proportionate rise is now taking place. From the very general and gratifying improvement everywhere visible in commeicial affairs, we since, ely hope this city will not for a long time have to complain of any depression either in the riband or watch depart. ments ; the latter of which we are also happ? to find is in a flourishing condition, and that wages have in con . sequence advanced considerably.—Covenir y Herald. We regret to say, that instances ate suilyncur ring, amongst various classes of workmen, of agi norance f of the extent of lib ert y w hi c h i s perm i tte d b y t le repeal of the Combination Laws.
