German Papers were received this morning, from which we estract the follov‘ ing : FROM THE ORIENTAL SPECTATOR. SMYRNA, Serremamsls. There have been some engagements of Mitylene and Foches, between some Turkish ships and the Greeks. Miaulis, with 20 ships, had joined the 53 under Sach- tory, in which the Greeks seemed disposed to attack the Turkish squadron before Mitylene, in the night of Sun day the 9th of September. They put out, but without effect, two fire ships, one of them, as well as one of their brigs, were sunk ; a polacre, and two other brigs, were considerably damaged by the fire of a large Turk ish frigate. On Monday . the ilth, the Greeks wished to attempt a coup de maim against the ships, which are repatiting at Foches: they launched a fire ship without effect ; two Greek brigs were sunk, and several dis masted. The Turkish ships remained in their position, that is to say, pact at Mitylene, and part at Foches : the Captain Pacha is with the latter. The Greeks, taking the damaged vessels in tow, retreated, some to Ipsara, and some to the harbour of Vati, in Samos, to repair.— Count Guilleminot, the French Ambassador to the Porte, arrived on the 9th of September, on board the Pomona corvette, at Vourla, where the French squadron lay, but soon proceeded on his voyage to Constantinople. Leters from Alexandria, of 25th August, say, that General Boyer, and most of the Officers accompanying him, had quitted the service of the Viceroy, and em barked for France. The restless spirit of some of these Officers, seems to have caused a breach, which all the effor is of the French Consul General could not prevent. CONSTA NTINOPLE, Swamis,' 25. All the measures lately adopted by the Porte, espe cially in measures of Finance, indicate the acceptance of the Russian Ultimatum, though no formal answer of the Divan has transpired. But people are convinced that the Porte, if it has not already acceded, certainly will accede to the term s : proposed. Mr. Stratford Can ning has lately presented another note to induce the Porte to enter into negotiations with the Greeks. Ac counts from Constantinople speak of two naval engage. silents. in one of which the Ca wain Pacha's fleet at Foches, and in the other an Egyptian squadron, arrived off Candia, are said to have sustained much damage. 26th.—Tbough the Porte has not yet given an official answer to the Russian Ultimatum, and the Reis Effendi is said to have spoken to M. Minziacky within these few days in an evasive manner on the subject, no doubt is entertained of the acceptance of the terms, and a Tartar dispatched on the 2U with dispatches for Akermann, is believed to have been the bearer of the necessary instruc tions, and full powers to the Turkish Commissioners.— It is reported that the Captain Pacha has suffered a de feat near Voarla, and that Canaris (who was severely wounded on the occasion) having set fire to a frigate, it was abandoned by the Turks, and then taken possession of by the Greeks, who succeeded in extinguishing the flames. Count Guilleminot, the French Ambassador, is said to have been an eye-witness of this exploit, and greatly to praise the ♦alour of the Greek sailors. The loss of the Turks is described as very considerable : but this whole account requires confirmation. We have received the French Papers to the 25d inst. and the Emile of Monday. The latter puts an end to aU doubts which might still have been entertained respecting the acceptance et the Russian Ultimatum, by stating the arrival of a courier who kit Vienna on the 15th, with official intelligence that the determi nation of the Poava had been communicated on the 6th at Aker- Mann and that the Russian Commissioners had set off the next day Let Odessa, on their way back to the capital. The same Paper also ' contradicts soma atsl.llllls r tbs Tistnsai des Aborts.' which assert that tbs lsstao severe reverses in Georgia, and that Its ,T bad fallen into the hands of the invaders. It evou says, batanersfy dis the authority of a Ger man Journal, to which it does not seem., attach much credit, that accounts bad hien received Ity express axilerlin on the 10th inst. of Gen. lissatocors having obtained a eolnplete victory over the Persians, who had left 9,000 men on the field of battle. " We have seen Berlin Papers to the 14th," adds the Etefft, " and they make no mention of this rumour." There are letters from Constantinople in this Journal to the 50th of September, and a Proclamation issued on the 29th of that month lby the Poara, announcing the appointment of a Minister of Police. This Proclamation is inserted In another column. One of the letters states that our Ambassador had presented a fresh note to the Divan, to induce it to enter into negotiations with respect to Greece; and several of them announce that the Captain Pacha had experienced a defeat off Vourla, and that the Greeks had succeeded in taking a frigate which CANA eus had set on fire, and which the Turks had abandoned. The Greeks, after getting on board, put mat the fire; but Canaan bad again received a serious wound.— General Gunman/um Ambassador of France, is stated to have been an eye.witness to this heroic feat, and to have declared that the loss of the Turks bad been very considerable, and the valour and enterprising spirit of the Greek sailors beyond pralse. Jamaica PApers to the 29th August state, that the Spanish vessel which arrived there from Cuba with dispatches, is said to relate to a new Tariff of Duties to be imposed on foreign vessels. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. Consols which had got up to 821 for the Account, with an ap parent firm market, has within this half hour taken a sudden change, and receded to 81/ to 82 for the Account, and 81i for money, owing to very heavy sales being effected by great specula tors. It is reported that the French Rentes comes / per cent lower in consequence of the affairs of Portugal; but up to the present l time'there is no certainty of any exptess having arrived; but the I parties have been realising, in expectation of the French Funds coming lower when the Portuguese news gets vent at Paris. In the Foreign Market very little doing. THE KING. WINDSOR, Ocrosza 24.

His MAJCSTY, attended by the Lord Steward, travelled in his plain road-carriage, drawn by his own road-horses, and driven by his own postillions, with the usual retinue of out-riders, and unattended by any Mili tary escort. This day his Maims left the Royal Lodge at the usual hour of two o'clock, to take his regular exercise, in hill pony phaeton in the Great Park. , His Mansyv has declined having recourse to any more aquatic excursions on Virginia Lake this season, in consequence of which, the Royal marquees are all struck, and conveyed back to the Tower, and the cutter and pleasure-boats all housed. His MAJCITT continues to eny excellent health. There are no arrivals at the Royal Lodge. THE ARMY. The 17th (Leicestershire) Regiment of Foot has received orders to march from Dublin to Mullinpr.

Dispatches were sent off yesterday, from the Foreign Mice, to Sir WILIAM A'Coust, our Minister at Lisbon. Yesterday, the Commissioners for building additional Churches had a Meeting at their Office, in Great George-street. A Board of the Lords of the Treasury was held yes terday at the Treasury Chambers. It is said that a person of distinction, under an as sumed name, came passenger In the Sandwich packet, from Lisbon, charged with important dispatches to our Government. In consequence of what fell from Lord BEXLEY at the meeting of the Kent Bible Society a few days since, it is gene tally imagined that his Lordship is about to retire from the cares and distractions of public life. The noble mansion, at Ashridge, in Hertfordshire, which was built by the late Earl of BRincuivivrza; at an expense of nearly three hundred thousand pounds, is 'at present inhabited by tlis Countess, his widow. A Duel was fought yesterday morning, at six o'clock, ha Hyde Park, between C—, Esq. of Itatoasb, awl Colonel. B—, in consequence of an altercation the preceding evening at Drury-lane Theatre. They fired two shots each, when the latter was dangerously wounded by a ball passing through his thigh. Lord and Lady HeLLAND. the Duke and Duchess of BIDFORD, Lord and Lady W. Russeu., Mr. Tummy, and many of the leading Members of the Opposition, are now at Brighton, which is at present unusually full of company. A letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Marseilles, an. flounces the arrival there, on the 14th inst. of the Unicorn, Scam from Malta, having on bo ard Lord Commies. This letter confines Itself to the fact, and gives no reason for, or comment on, his Lord- 1 ship's return. PARIS, OCT. 20.—Thursday Mr. CANNING had the honour to dine at the Tuileries with the KING and Royal Family. The Courier Francais says upon this subject—" The superstitions of etiquette and the vani ties of the Court have just received a check which dis concerts them. The Minister of a foreign Government, a plebeian, who has no other title than that r f being a great orator, a skilful statesman, and an eloquent proclaimer of a system of civil, commercial, and religious liberty, has had the honour to sit tcoday at the KING'S table. In this CHARLES X. has done what appeared quite natural to /hum IV. and the chiefs of our ancient monarchy. It was sot till the time of LOUIS XIV. that forms more Asiatic than really French were introduced round the throne. A barrier which scarcely existed any where except at the Courts of Vetsailles and Madrid has thus fallen, after a month's ht sitation, before illustrious renown. Such an example, undoubtedly, will not be confined to foreigners; but the KING of FRANCE will grant the same distinction to the merit and services of his subjects. This morning Mr. CANNING breakfasted at St. Ouen with one of our principal manufacturers; and this evening he had the honour to dine at the Tuilleries with the KING and Royal Family. None but men thrown by mistake into our age—none but old courtiers, are capable of being aston ished at what is so proper and conformable to the spirit of the French Charter and the British Constitution. Such are consequences and inspirations of constitutional royalty in both countries." It is expected that the Right Hon. Gentleman will leave Paris for London on Mon 'day or Tuesday. The sentences of death passed at the Lancaster As ians, upon the numerous prisoners convicted of rioting and de stroying machinery, have been conunuted for various terms of trans portation and imprisonment. Ten are to be transported for t h e; Sour to be imprisoned fa:eighteen month eight fee twelvemonts; eleven for As months; turd ten fox three months. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

I heard this morning that the celebration of the mar riage of Captain Parry, the great Northern Voyager, and the accomplished daughter of Sir John Thos. Stan ley, was to take place at Adderley Church, and as the ceremony is at all times one of no ordinary interest, and as the illustrious bridegroom is one of the " stars" which occasionally shine in our terrestrial atmosphere, I determined, if possible, to become a spectator. The village of Adderley is one of the most romantic imagination could picture, situated about a,mile from Adderley Park, the family mansion, and i mmediately under an insulated and lofty mass of rock, called Adder ley Edge. The day was del ghtfully fine, and the as semblage of the neighbouring peasantry in the village, and the ringing of the bells of the Church, gave pleasing " note of preparation." The special invitations were confined especially to the family. Amongst those present were the Earl and Countess of Sheffield, Sir John and Lady Stanley, the Misses Stanley, and their relatives. The bride was plainly, yet elegantly dressed in a white robe; she wore a veil. Her sisters had similar dresses, but they had no veils. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Edward Stanley, uncle of the bride, and her father gave her away. Although the ceremony was intended to be private, the organ gallery was crowded, and I could scarcely restrain a tear at the conclusion of the solemn contract, when I saw the worthy Baronet salute his amiable Lady with a " holy kiss," as did the gallant bridegroom his beautiful bride. Immediately after the ceremony, the organ played " Rule Britannia," the bells were rung, and the happy party—for I really think it was one of the most happy ,nuptials I ever had the good lot to see—set off for the Park, amid the sincere benedictions of thr,se who be held them. The new-married eoupk set off, I am told, for the seat of Mr. Leycester, in Staffordshire. NAVAL IN ILLLIUENCE. The Joseph and Jane, from Dantzic to London, was lost on the Scsw, on the Bth inst.

New YORK, Sen. 20.—The Eastern Star, from Trinidad to Boston, was spoken with on the 1 lth Inst. with loss of mainmast and fore-topmast. The following tut cher particulars tespecting the fatal affray at CoggeshaU, are from the Essex Herald of yes terday: On Saturday night last, a patty of labourers, in the employ of Mr. Hanhury, met at the Chapel, Coggeshall, to spend their largess ; they were joined by the wood-ranger and his son, named Goody ; the former being between 50 and 60 years of age. lit the course of the evening a party of weavers were also in the same house, and some words mote between Goody the younger and one of the weavers, named John Evans. They fought, and the battle lasted nearly an hour.. About one o'clock on Sunday morning, the labourers, with the Goodys, left the house; the weavers, it sp• pears, had lingered about the door and yard to hoot them for the victory obtained by their companion.— Among the latter was a lad named Owers, about 18 years of age, a vender of pies, with whom the elder Goody had recently disputed respecting his gathering nuts. When Goody, with the labourers, reached High fields, being followed by the weavers, the elder Goody challenged the whole to combat man for man. The , weavers approached, but no blows were struck, and the parties had separated. Owens, however, kept with the Goodys ; shortly after the voice of Owers was heard by a man named French, to exclaim " Murder ! you have killed me." French immediately went to his as sistance, he saw him falling on his side, the blood streaming from his left arm, and Owers said, "O LORD, lam a dead man." The Goodys then knocked French down, but others came to his assistance ; and French' said, pointing to the Goodys, who were then making their escape, " They are the murderers." Owen pulled up his shirt, and told Thomas Spurgeen, that old John Goody had stuck him; at this instant the Goodys ran towards Mr. White's yard, where they were appre hended; old Goody exclaimed, " Murder—murder! I will pay all expenses." A man of the name of Fenn, said to old Goody, " Why surely you will never be easy after.this?" to which Goody replied, 11 He did not care about it, and wished Owen might die that Minute." A man named Browning, who assisted in apprehending the Goodys, saw the old man shut a clasp knife, and put it into his pocket, frim which it was afterwards taken, although he denied having it in his possession. Owens survived only about an hour, although MI Godfrey, a surgeon, was upon the spot as early as pus • sible, after information had reached' him, at which time the deceased had lost five or six pints of blood. TALM A. The following are some further particulars of the funeral and last moments of this celebrated Actor : The multitude which attended Talma to the grave seems to have been enormous, though it is very differently rated by the various French Papers. The highest esti mate is 80,000, the lowest 15,000. The Journal des Dehais mentions 24,000, which is probably nearer the truth. Speeches were pronounced over the grave by Lafon, a brother actor; M. de Jouy, the author of the Hermits de la Chaussie d'Antin, and of the celebrated tragedy of Sylla ; and by Mr. d'Arnault, sen. also an eminent tragic poet. Mr. Mechin, in his costume of Deputy, and several other individuals with honorary decorations, marched behind the corpse at the head of the cortege, which had some difficulty in forcing its way through the dense numbers by which the churchyard of Pete la Chaise was filled, yet all was conducted with the greatest decency and religious feeling. He had two notaries called, in whose presence he confirmed the dispositions of his will, which had been' made three weeks before. After this exertion his remain. ing strength scarcely sufficed to mutter, in an almost ex tinguished voice, the word adieu! which he addressed to one of the notaries. Four hours after, at 35 minutes after eleven o'clock, he breathed his last, apparently without any suffering. It is generally supposed that the malady which has proved fatal to him was an intestinal schirrus. Mons. Dupuytren was desirous to perform an operation, which he was convinced wourg have saved Talma, had he had strength enough to undergo it. This operation was to extract that portion of the intestines, which, according to this celebrated surgeon were twisted, and to replace them in their natural state. The opening of the body will shew if M. Dnpuytren's conjecture was correct. But convinced as he was of the efficacy of the operation, he was deterred from resorting to it by the state of extreme weakness to which Talma was re. duced, in consequence of the total cessation of his digestive functions for 44 hours previous to his death. The singular fact of his continuing to Hie so long in such a state, is attributed• by the physicians to his remarkably s'rong constitution. One of these Gen amen has asserted, that on opening the body, the region of the breast and lungs will be found in the 'most healthy and intact sta.e. One of the last times the Archbishop of Patis (who has re peatedly endeavoured to gain admittance to Talon+) pre sented himself at his huuse, and was refused by one of the patient's relations to be brought into his presence, he said, You probably suppose my intentions are very different from what they are in reality. My motives ars noble and elevated. For a long time back I have been endeavouring to procure from the Gm t of Rome that the ridiculous excommunication pronounced against actors should be taken off ; and the present circum stances may most powerfully conduce to the success of my endeavours. Talma dying in peace with the church would furnish me with a puissant argument. Moreover, I promise you riot to say a single word about religion, until Talma shall himself mention the subject.' It is said that the last time the Archbishop called, and met, as before, with a refusal, he lost all patience, and vehe mently apostrophized Talma's nephew, a physician, in the following terms Unfortunate man ! see what a responsibility you are drawing on your head. Great axis my indignation, I cannot here punish you for such un worthy conduct, my religion forbids me; but on the day of judgment, when all the souls of my flock shall .appear in the presence of Goa, mine shall pursue yours, and call upon it to anso er for the loss of an immortal soul.' fhe young physician listened calmly to these terrible menaces, and firmly but respectfully refused to introduce his Grace. The Archbishop did not again return. Mad. Vanhove, Talma's wife, also wished to be admitted to his bedside, but he refuse d to see her. She did not insist, but said, lam sorry not to be permitted to 'see him once more. Tell him I entreat you, that I came to offer him to share my fortune with his children:— Madame Vanhove has upwards of 40,000 f. a year, that had been left her by Dr. Moreau (De la Sarthe), with whom she had lived. It is precisely this fortune that prevented any reconciliation between her and Talma, and induced him to refuse seeing her in his last mo ments. 'As my wife is now wealthy,' said he, 'it would no doubt be said that I became reconciled to her from motives , of interest. Her fortune places ian insurmountable barrier between us.' One of the theatrical journals of this morning gives the following account of Telma's last moments: Talon preserved all his intellectual faculties to the last moment. He felt no acute pain, and only complained of having a cloud before his eyes. He perfectly recognised the. friends around his bed ; and on seeing Messrs. Jouy, Arnault, and Dovilliers, he stretched out his arms, wept, and embraced them. He said to his nephew, 'the physicians know nothing of my disease ; recommend them to open my body, that it may be useful to my fellow-matures; and in a minute after he said, 4 Let there be no priests! all I ask is not to be buried too soon.' Some tittle before he exclaimed, I What do they require of me, to make me abjure the art to which 1 owe all my glory—an art that .1 idolize ? to deny the forty brightest years of my life, to separate my cause from that of my comrades, and to acknowledge them to be infamous ? Never l' A few moments before his death he murmured in a faint voice, 4 Voltaire! Voltaire ! as Voltaire r In the Court of Assizes at Paris, Sieur JACQUE; Soil MONTGAZON was tried for addressing a menacing letter to M. de VatsLe, President of the Council of Ministers, and, after a trial*, considerable interest, acquitted and set at liberty. hlonvoasex bad served as a Quartermaster in the Bth Regiment of Chasseurs, and was dischargedin consequence of deficiency in his pecuniary accounu. The Countess of GALLOWAY landed at Dover on Tuesday front Boulogne. It was her Ladyship's intention to have arrived on the preceding day ; but when in tke act of stepping on board the Sovereign steam vessel, the police demanded her permit of embarkation, which not having been procured, her Ladyship was informed she could nut proceed, and was necessarily constrained to return to her Hotel, and procure the tequidte document to al low her embarkation neat morning. The other day an exciseman intercepted a hearse, on its return from a funeral, in Essex, under the suspicion that it contained some smuggled goods. The driver declared most energetically that it contained nothing of the kind ; but the exciseman was inflexible, and insisted upon searching the vehicle. This was reluctantly aC• ceded to by the driver, who opened the doors at the end, and whilst the excisemen was introducing his head in order to take a strict survey, took hold of him by the breech, popped him in, and drove home, a distance of ,ever al miles. On getting into his master's yard, he jocosely said that he had taken away one body and lrought home another, exemplifying the truth of his .ssertion by exhibiting the half-dead exciseman. _ The joke now appeared a serious one—the knight of the dip• ping stick was with difficulty taken from his travelling .epulchre.
