tr'an colours. Tile To equipment se.tson may be considered as Annihilated ; and in this light it is viewed by the Greek Government, who, in rt:eir proclamation, exhort the land forces to act with courage, and not fear the nnmericAl force of the Turk h army, which, being deprived of supplies, must soon become ineffective. The On •dits are, that Odysseus has again joined the Greeks, and, with .Goura, beat the Turks near &lona, having killed 6000 of the infidels. A story is told to accoont for the r econtersion of Odys seus, that Goura, hie old Lieu•enant, intetcepted firman from Con.ta.:!:,, , nle, ordering that the Ulmer should he beheaded, as the usual reward for snlyttls;•Yl, Goura solicited an interview with Odysseus, and shewed 1 - im the firman, which produced another change in his politics. It k Also said that Ibrahim Pacha, in at tempting to penetrate to Tripolizza, has got himself entangled in the mountainous districts, at a very intri cate pas!, called the Dithi, or the Key, where he is hemmed in by tl:e Greeks, and where neither his ca valry nor crdnance can act. So much for Greek news. Loans are the order of the day. Gel:eral Adam has determined to borrow 250,0001. for carrying nn the public works, alth +ugh he has a large balance in his treasury, and is in treaty with a Company in London to raise it. The same Company is also about to establish a bank in Corfu, with a branch in each of the lonian Islands ; their capital is to be half a million ; and the Gmeral has already, it is understood, t'ken steps to procure the grant of a charter of the Company.

The French Papers of Sunday and Monday, which c have received, contain the conditions of the new Arrangement made between the Courts of Vienna and ti.,:rs with respect to the evacuation of the latter country, which, of hastening, they postpone. In compliance with the for ester 'treaty the total evacuation would have taken place in the s ~ s 4.th of May, 182 e. By the present it is to be progressive, corn s:.4.cing immediately, but terminating only in March, 11127. The espettses of this prolonged occupation are to be covered by the say iags arising from the progressive diminueon of the Austrian troops, so as to east no fresh burthens on the people.

Friday,:pursuca to notice, there was a Meeting of the Citizens of Cork, convened for the purpose of adopting measures to repress a spirit of Combination, which, it is stated, has spread itself through the working classes. The Meeting was rather full, and comprised a considerable number of tradesmen. At half-past one o'clock the MA vox entered the Court-house, and briefly addressed those present. His Worship said, that this meeting was called in consequence of an outrage committed a few days back, and of information re ceived, which stated that combination amongst the trades had arisen to an extent that required correction. Since caHing the meeting, he had learned that the mechanics had returned to their duty, and would no longer proceed in the course they had adopted. Under these circumstances, the Magistrates thought it fit to adjourn this meeting to a future day, if necessary, and at the same time to promise protection to all persons that might meet with any aggres sion on the part of the workmen. Mr. Joint Ber•xarr made a few observations relative to the in. jnrious proceedings of the combinators, and said, that all the losses sustained by individuals from acts of outrage of this kind would be levied upon the city, which was already too heavily hurthened. After some desultory conversation, the Meeting dissolved. SPORTIAG INTELLIGENCE. IPSWICH RACES—TursDAY,.Tr I V ^ 6. For his Majesty's Purse of too guineas. Four male lizats. Col. Wilson's bl. ni.

This was an appeal to the Court to diseharge.?l , 4* order of the Vice• Chancellor. which perMitted. i credif4o to go before the Master and prove his deb: ondef.tfle.. following circumstances:—The applicant was the Ciituit . de Lieven, Ambassador from Russia on behalf of the Emperor. Mr. Greig, his Imperial Majesty's Consul in Landon, died intestate in the year 1807, leaving property to a considerable amount. which was divideJ between his widow and family. after a bill had been filetf in this Court in 1814. One of the sons, Woronitive Greig, was, ar.d still continues, a minor. His portion. therefore, remained in Court the residue was pai lin the year 1817. The Russian Government. on the re presentation of the Minister of Marine, finding that. Consul Greig owed a balance to the amount of 4A49/.. in his accounts, instruved the Ambasstd,,r to take steps to recover it from his estate. Count Leven wro:e to the widow (now Mrs. Somerville), but receiving no atssw•er, applied for payment of the claim out of the infant's fund in Court, amoun , ing to 91,6001. and th Vice-Chancellor granted tie order now appealed from. Mr. StIODEN contended that his MAjesty the Emperor of all the Russias had been extremely dilatory in his march upon this occasion; that the statute of limitations barred him from urging his claim ; and that it was a heavy injustice to make this infant's fund pAy what the others had avoided, merely from the accidental circum stance of their majority. Mr. HART conceived that the Emperor of Russia had as much right to justice in a British Court as the meanest of ills- subjects. It was not intended that the infant's fund should pay more than a rateable proportion . . of the debt due Irons the intestate's estate; thit he sh .uld, in fact, pity only what he would have been bound to pay had the application preceded the division. The question as to the statute of limitations could be consideied in the Master's office. The LuRD CJIANCELLOR Was of opinion, that as the estate had been divided by an order of the Court, the sem now 'remaining, m-rely on ace 'um of the infancy ~ f the owner, was exactly in the same state as the suing actually parted witb. He would, however, look into the CA P& more attentively, and give an order on Wednesday. This he might say, that if the Vice-Chancellor's order was nut discharged, it must at all events be altered. 'VICE.CHACELLOR'S COURT, JULY 26. IN TEE MATTER OF THE CLOTH-WORKERS' CHARITY. Mr. HART said, that in this cause it had been referred to the Master to make a scheme for the appropriation of the funds arising from a crt tAin estate, at Islington, in the possession of the Clothworkere Company. The estate in question had been beque sthed 'to the Company in trust for charitable purposes, except one part of it, which was given to the Company, unburdened with any lien. The < bject of his present application was to secure to the Company the enjoyment of the estate; and for that puipnse he wished to have in serted into the order, which directed the scheme to be drawn up, the words " without prejudice to the rights of the Company." He might take this opportunity of stating, that the Attorney-General, by whore the io• formation was originally filed, was perfectly satisfied with the e.indnct of the Company, who, it appealed, nod expended in chatitable purposes many bunt/tea pounds mote than were derived from the estate. Mr. PtIIIIICILTON on the pan of the Attorney-Getters!, con. seated to the applic ation, which the Court granted. The accounts brought by Captain CLAPPERTON and Major Denstttat from Soudan, and other places in the interior of Africa, which have been vi-ited by these en- - tetprising travellers, is very satisfactory, and muds valuable information relative to the inhabitants has been obtained. The surprise of the iormer Gentle Man may readily be conceived, upon his reaching Sockatoo, in finding plates dishes, basins, and other articles of ' English manufacture, with the makers names marked thereon ; and during his residence, which was nearly three months, he daily used wares of this description. The markets are regularly supplied, in addition to flour. with fine stal-fed beef, mutton, and kids ; as also • poultry, including wild, ducks and geese, egg!, &c. The existence of this place, which is to the westward, of Bournou, was before unknown; it is governed by a Sultan, who has several wives and insity children, and with all the persons about him evinced every attention to Captain CLAPPERTON. Major DENHAM proceeded to the south and east of Botnou, and examined the Lake Tsad, which is an immense fresh-water lake, visit ing many towns and villages in his journey. The 'country to the southward of Fezzan may be considered as a new discovery, and extends from that place to about the ninth degree of latitude, Leta esn the sixth and fourteenth degrees of longitude east of Greenwirh. It has hitherto been deemed impracticable to travel 's any part of Africa as Christians until this 13ot:t these Officers pet formed the journey as such, occasional: y wearing their uniforms, and were deemed by many of the followers of Mahomet as curious personages. Mi nisters have considered it an object 0 such impGrtance, as to again send another mission, placed under the direction of Captain CLAPPERTON, in which he will he assisted by Captain PEARCE (also of the Royal Navy), and the CAMELION sloop of war is preparing at Port:- mouth for their conveyance.
