RECEIVED LAST MOUT: The Eteile contradicts a statement given in the rfra peau Blanc and the Ceastitidialvtel, that 4,000 Ultra . Royalists in arms, under the command of a Chief called Misas, had proclaimed Charles V. in Catalonia, and , were traversing that extensive and important province ' in all directions, to cause his authority to be recognised. It denies in particular that any attempt had been made to surprise the Seu d'Urgel, on the gtound that a French garrison holds that fortre ' s. Accounts from Tarsons, in the same Paper, state that the plague had almost destroyed the whole population of Adana. A cordon of troops was drawn round that place, and the few inhabitants whom the plague had spared were perishing from the infection caused by hundreds of corpses left unburied in the houses. The Pacha had brought the plague in his suite to Tarsons, and from fifteen to twenty individuals died out of every SO attacked. At Adana, the proportion was forty-nine deaths out of every fifty cases. Coto:well,* Hoffman, PresiJent of the Greek Com mittee at Stotgard, offered a reward of 50,000 florins to any one who •should prove that the interest excited in behalf of oppressed Christians had been used as a pre tence by German demigigues to cdnceal dangerous plots against their own Governments. The writer of the original assertion has replied through the Has:burgh Corscspondenten,.and has produced documents printed by the High Tribunal of Bre.law, from which it appears that an individual of the name of Smidt, who had been commissioned by Eirdn Dalberg, in 1821, to raise 'German legion for the service of Greece, proposed to the Members of the Secret Society of Jena to stop on the frontiers of Germany with his legion, when it should have been raised, and to turn its force against any one of the German Governments which they might think pro= per. This offer, we aretold, was joyfully accepted by the associates of Hall, and yet no attempt Was made to give it effect. Some considered 'its execution impossi ble, and it was resolved that the money subscribed should continue to be applied to the assistance of Greece. Even supposing this information to be 'correct, it would merely prove thatone individual had attempted to misapply the fruits of the interest felt tor the Greeks to improper purposes, and that even then the offer was ultimately rejected. There is intelligence in these Papers from Lisbon to the 21st ult. The Princess Regent had dissolved the Commission charged with selecting localities for the Chamber of Peers and that of Deputies, and had ap proved of its choice, which bad fallen on the Palace of Rock for the Peers, and on the Terreiro del Pace for the Deputies. Her Royal Highness had also decreed the suppression of special commissions in civil and cri minal matters, and had dissolved the Junta of Conser vation of the Treasury, as incompatible with the new organization which the Exchequer was to undergo in consequence of the Constitutional Charter. The Joanisal 4es Debate contains some intelligence from Zante and Syra, which represents military affairs in the Morea as having taken a decided turn in favour of the Greeks. Ibrahim Pacha's invincibility vanished the moment after he had entered the country of the Maiuotera His cavalry, and even his regular infantry, became useles sin the midst of defiles occupied by Mainote tirailleurs, who fired upon them from all quar ters. Defeated in three attacks which he had to sustain, and forced to a rapid and disastrous retreat, his army was said to be reduced to 7000 men, with whom ne could scarcely undertake to act again on the offensive. Under those circumstances, it would have been highly advantageous for the Greeks to hatrass and assail him ; but the 4,000 Roumeliots who had come to Napoli di Romania to be equipped, insisted on marching to the relief of Athens, which was gallantly defended by Goura, and thus allowed Ibrahim a breathing time to revive the spirit of his army. The letters from Syra confirm the destruction of a large Turkish vessel by the Greek fire ships before Samos on the 28th of July. On the 29th the Turks retui tied to the charge, and attacked Admiral Sachtoury, who, with 35 or 40 light vessels, bravely. sustained the battle. It was continuing still on the 30th, but the advantage appeared to incline in favour of the Greeks. Had not the most inconceivable mismanagement, not to use a harsher but a juster word, deprived Greece of the steam boats built at such an expence for her, the appearance of Lord Cochrane at such a moment at their head, would have decided her fate for ever. ?ROM THE MOTE. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE AUGSSURGH, Aim. 29. The last news received from Constantinople, by 'way of Bucharest, ithrough which a courier dispatched by the 'Rbssian Embassy passed on the 35th in great haste to Akermanj is by no means satisfactory. Accord ing to this news, which, however, requires confirmation, the capital*of the Ottoman Empire has been the theatre of some tumultuous and sanguinary scenes. It appears 'that the 'Sultan, in pursuing his plansuf reform, has not paid sufficient respect to the religious feelings of the people, and what perhaps is worst% he has not been sufficiently Mindful of the Uld and cherished customs of the Minstilmen. Almost universal discontent has been the necessary consequence of so unwise and impru dent a procedure, and the disposition of men's minds which had been kept downxcime time from fear, inspired by the violent measures of the Reformers at length dis- played itself, by an insurrection of the populace of that immense city, to which even the Ulemas, whose sub servience had 'previously been confidently relied on, were, it is supposed, not altogether strangers. On the day of the 4th, at the very moment that the Solt-+n was to go to the Grand Mosque, to offer his customary prayers, the fermentation, which up to that time had , been displayed only by a sullen silence, burst out in seditious cries among the crowd assembled round Um place where his highness had to pass. The soldiers of the GrateS Signior of the new organization disposed themselves to seize the most outrageous, but ch..) , op posed a resistance, which was not perhaps expected, and compelled the soldiers to retrace their steps towards the Seraglio. The mob began to follow up this apparent advantage, but they were severely repulsed ; and for that time their rash attempts had no other effect than to make some hundreds of the boldest bite the dust. During the night and next day, strdng patrols scoured the streets of Constantinople, and of the suntans, in every sense slaughtering every one who appeared suspicious. The courier left the city while these things were going on, and ditnot,conseitently, learn Se final result of this rash rising. DUEL IN AMERICA. An affair of honour took place at New Orleans on the 18th ult. between two citizrns, growing out of a private misunderstanding. One fire was exchanged P with pistols, but no effect being produced, they had re course, according to agreement, to the small sword.— The affair ended in the death of one of the parties, he having received his antagonist's sword in his vitals. The names of the patties were, Theodore Previl, aged 19 years, and Zephyr Canonge, and originated in an affront having been offered to the father of the former by Canonge. The following notice of the death of Preval is published in the New Orleans Papers. " The friends of the family of Mr. Preval—the friends of virtue and justice—are informed that Mr. Theodore Presal, aged 19 years. terminated his career yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, by a frightful fatality. His corpse will be exposed at Mr. U. Marirroy's, Fauxboprg Marigny, from whence the convoy will start for the Church." Over the grave of young Preval a discourse was pronounced by Mr. Pierre Landreux, who alluded in warm language to the bravery and filial piety of the youth, who "felt his blood heated with in dignation at the sight of his father beirsg cruelly outraged by a despicable man, dishonoured for a long time in the public opinion." The address was concluded by the following anathema upon Preval's murderer, which, the Louisiana Courier observes, was unanimously repeated by all the persons present: "" For us, Gentlemen, who sigh over this grave, in which the remains of our young friend repose, let us all swear, in parting with him, to burthen for ever his murderer with the weight of our con tempt, to exclude him for ever from the bosom of our society, and to abandon him without pity to the torments of remorse--swear it!" VAN DIEMAN'S LAND. Macquarie-street, Hobart Town, April 17,1626. We are at pre,ent very well situated just opposite the Governor's house. Everything is more advanced than I expected to find it ; none but an English colony could have made such progress in so short a time. Madeira and Rio Janeiro, in point of kumfort, are three hun dred years behind it: Luxuries, and even necessaries, are infinitely dearer here than at either of those places. Fresh butter is Ss. 6d. per lb. sometimes ss. loaf sugar. ls. 2d. tea, excellent hyson, 101. moist sugar, very good, 6d. bread ; Sd. meat, 6d. and Bd. cheese 2s. 6d. very bad. Our expenses at the tiristol Hotel, for a fortnight (five persons). were 501. House rent and firing are. high , we pay for six rooms and the use of a kitchen, l'unfurnisbed, 1201. per annum. A few days after my arrival here, I went oft board a China ship, the Sun, Captain Gillit, and bought a re& and a lemon coloured Chinese' each enough - for two dresses, at 21. per piece. The Chinese who came' to open the box, was the very prototype of the figures in the grocers shops in London. I learned that the Chinese begin to emigrate, and are much less jealous of admitting strangers than heretofore. They excel in painting ; they :hewed me some copies they had made of English plates ; one was " The Proposal"--the draw ing, however, was very defective. We have plenty of fishing, shooting, and riding.. I heard a Gentleman say the other day that he has seen 5,000 cockatoos rise at once, and at other times nearly as many wild ducks. We have plenty Of quails, par.s rots, and pigeons; the eagles are formidable birds, often measuring from tip to tip six feet. They hover over the flocks, and carry off the lambs. Nothing this to our albatrosses. On the 26th of January, a 6straiieg hot . day, and dead calm, we went a considerable way from the! ship, and were in the Indian Ocean. After cruising about two hours, we returned with two albatrosses, one alive, besides several other birds. The albatrosses weighed 25 pounds, and measured ten feet eight inches across the wings. Two of these birds carried away the contents of a gun, seemingly but little hurt. Our servant, to /whom We advanced 301. for outfit, previous to her quitting England, quitted us one fortnight after arriving here, and got married instantly, we thus lost 701. by her. This is an evil it is impoodble to guard against. HERCULANEUM. A flight of modern steps conducts to the subterranean city, through a well, sunk for the purpose, at the place where the well was by which it was discovered in 1669. . Herculaneum was destroyed by the same eruption that destroyed Pompeii and Stabia, in the year 79, bat it has since been showered on seven times by the fiery moun-, lain, as may be seen by the different strata of lava in descending. All that remains open at present of the city below, are some parts of the theatre, and a few narrower passages on the outside by three of its doors. The ex. cavations were continued to a considerable extent, and many valuable relics taken outs bat as the towns o( Resini and Portia, with the Royal palaces, which are built over Herculaneum, would have been endangered had they been carried further, piers were built, and the rubbish left to prevent accident. Enough, however, was done to prove that this was a 'city of much greater 'consequence than Pompeii; its streets were broad and straight, paved with lava, and had footways on each ' side; its theatre is much larger, and every article found spoke of more luxurious refinement. The Custode led me through the passages, and showed me various frag ments of columns, painted walls, burned timber, and the like, of course ail is sten by torch light. It is supposed that with the ashes which destroyed Herculaneum a vast quantity of water was thrown out by Vesuvius, which, mingling with the ashes, flowed throughout, and hardened into tuio, as the city is filled with it.— The material was certainly much heated, as the doors and timbers of the houses are found reduced to a species of charcoal; in those places where it did not penetrate everything combustible was charred by the violent heat, such as the rolls of papyrus, wheat, barley, beans, nuts, almonds, bread, and many other articles of domestic t'se. The inhabitants had time to carry with them their valuables, for these were nut found more than a dozen skel. tons altogether, and a very small quantity of gold or silver, or, indeed, anything valuable that was not too bulky to be carried with ease. [PRICE. SEVENPENCE. LAW REPORT. COURT OF CHANCERY, Sarrntinl e. . • Mr. TIMMY, when the Lord Chancellor came Rite Court, applied for an injunction to restrain a ship, named the Madden, from sailing to Buenos Ayres, now blockaded by the Emperor of Brazil. The application was made ugon a bill sled by part of the owners of the ship against other owners and the captain. The Lotto CHANCELLOR asked why the parties had not appllea to the Court of Admiralty for security in case the 'maxi sailed? Mr. TINNEY said, that course of proceeding would not benefit his client. It appeared to be the intention of the persons conducting the ship to sail to Buenos Ayre.i, and that they had actually taken on hoard teri guns to enable them to force the blockade. In conse quence of this arrangement his clients could not get the underwriters to insure. The LORD CHANCILLOiII asked-how isorthe Intention:of the par ties had been known. Mr. Town said. since the 18th of Ragan. His LORDSHIP was unwilling to grant the injunction. It had been usual, in such cates, to apply to the CoUtt of Admiralty, but he would take the papers, he laid, and look at all the facts. At the same time, he could not help remarking, that the Noble and Learned Judge of the Admiralty was in town, and he did not' tee why that Learned Judge could n ot dispose of the ease as well as his elder brother. MANNING V. ROOD. His LORDSHIP disposed of this case in judgment. There were four points in it. which related to West In dia estates. The first question was, whether an agiee. ment entered into between the parties was an agreement under which the individuals to take, were immediately to enter into possession, upon having a good title made, or if a good title could not be made, upon having what was called a guarantee made to them ? The Court thought they were entitled to have a good title made to them, with the usual warrants of indemnity in the conveyance. The neat point was, whether they had not already got such a 'conveyance ? His Lordship's opinion was in accordance with that of the late Mager of the Rolls (from whose decision the case came before the Lord Chancellor upon an appeal), that the evider.ce to prove the fact was not sufficient. The third point was, whether there had not been such dealing with the estate, the purchase of which was in dispute, as •to have amounted to an acceptance of the title ? His Lordship did not think there had. The last was, whether a grant made by the Crown was valid, as against persons in terested ? Upon the ground that that grant had been made on a misrepresentation, his Lordship's opinion was against it. The result therefore was, an order, directing a reference to the Master, to see whether a good title had been made; and if it had not, whether it could be made. CRAWSIIAT V COLLINS. His Loßims'. had decided the principal point in this most difficult case, that Mr. Noble's Assignees were entitled to a share it) the partnership concern,•after the bankruptcy, and up to the moment at which it was or might be finally wound up. The only remaining point was, to give directions as to the mode in which all just allowances for personal labour, money advanced, &c. &c. by Mr. Collins, who continued the acting partner, were to be claimed and made : those directions his Lordship amid write down, and send to the parties. PHILANTHROPIC BENEFIT SOCIETY. Application was made to the Lord Chancellor to re strain the officers of a benefit society from converting the funds of the society to their own private use. The application was made on the pate of a member of the Philanthropic Society. It appeared that disputes had arisen concerning the management of the funds and their misapplication by the Presidents, Stewards, *m eaty, &. On the Ist of August last, when the President and other officers ought to have resigned their situa tions according to the rules of the Society, they refused so to do, and declared the Society to be broken up and annihilated. They afterwards opened a box belonging to the Society, and took out the receipts for part of the funds of the Society, to the amount of 1501. lodged in the Devonport Savings' Bank, and had given notice of their intention of drawing the money. It was therefore proposed to move for an injunction.on S durday. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he would make an order to prevent those persons from applying the funds of the Society to any purposes than those for which they were duly applicable. IN THI /PATTER OP BOURNE, A BANKRUPT. This was the petition of the bankrupt, the former proprietor of the Monmouth, Peak, and Dorset Gazette ; and Guernsey, Jersey, and Western Gazette. The object was for a supersedeas. The question raise.' by the pe tition was one of infinite importance—namely, whether, if a commission was decidedly shown to have been taken out for the purpose only of preventing the bank rupt going on with an action, and with no view to carry the commission further than to stop that action, thq Lord Chancellor had a discretion to say, that that was such an abuse of the Great Seal, that he should not al low the commission to stand? His Lordship went at I length through the petition to show what the facts were, and will to. morrow state the reason that led him to think that, provisied the facts of the case were made out, the Chancellor could, and ought, to upset the CONSISTORT COURT, SIP?. 6.—The Court was oc• cupied in the disposal of motions during its sitting. Dr. ADAMS moped the Court in the matter of the surviving executors of the widow of a person named Speed, who had been transported some years since to New South Wales, and died in Van Dieman's Land, but his widow survived him, and having lately died, her son sought to become administrated to the property, about 801. with the sole object of paying debts, which amounted nearly to that sum ; but in consequence of the deceased's bus• band having been transported, the right or title to the property became somewhat affected, and the parties could not take out administration without the p:rmis sion of the Court. The Doctor read the affidavit stating those facts in detail, and moved that the eldest sot; Frederick John Speed, might be allowed to make the necessary administration to the property. The Smut°. OATS said that the circumstances would Out warrant his compliance with the application.
