Bank Stuck . 2025 f. Just as our Paper was going to press, we received the F.toile of yesterday by express. It states, that the visit of Count CAPO D'IsTRIA to Paris is of a private, and not a political nature. Accounts from Corfu, in the Florence "Gazette, repeat the accounts of the Greek fleet having defeated the Turks. The former is said to have consisted of SO ships of war, 20 fire-ships, and 25 mistiks, with which the Greeks attacked the Turkish fleet on the 14th of April. In this, engagement the Turks are said to have lost two frigates and seven other vessels ; the Greeks lost two brigs, and had two other vessels damaged. After the battle the Turks retired under the batteries of Paints, and the Greek fleet proceeded to Missolonghi. The French Papers of Fliday and Satirday bare reached us. They announce the arrival in Paris of Sir FREDERICK ADAM, the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Isles, and of Count CAPO D'ISTR/A, who, as we have already stated, is likely to be reinstated in the• Russian Ministry. The Condilutionnel attaches great importance to this circumstance, and infers from it a, favourable turn in the affairs of the Greeks. --------- - The Etoile gives accounts from Napoli di Romonia announcing that the convocation of the National As sembly was to take place at EpidAuras about the 12th of April. Several of the Moreot Chiefs bad already arrived.—According to this account, the Provisiohal Government is to experience several modifications in its form, and is to consist of six Directors and a Pre.i dent. Each of the three great divisions of Greece, the Continent, the Morea, and the Islands, were to name two Directors and the President was not to belong to any of those divisions. It was expected that PETRIt Yrsu.ANTI (who come from Moldavia) would be ap pointed to that post, and a commission of three Mem bers was to he entrusted with the management of the finances, whilst all the other Ministerial Departments were consolidated into Ulm. Bombay Pipers were this forenoon received at the North and South American Coffee-house, but they are not of later date than the 25.11 of December. A letter from Cawnpore, dated the 21st ,of that month, states that the Usurper at Blinrtpore thre..sens to strike off the head of the young RAJAH the moment the fort is at- tacked by the' Litglish now besieging it. German Pipers to the 9th, Hatnburgh to the 10th, and Dutch and Btussels rapers to the 13th instant have reached us. One of the former, the Allgeneeins Zeitung, contains an article from Constantinople of the 11th of April, which states that since the delivery of the Russian ultimatum on the sth ult. nothing had occurred on the subject, and adds that " Mr. STRAT. /ono CANntsc continues his negotiations in favour of the Greeks with the greatest activity, but he seems to be far from the goal." From the Archipelago little is heard but the capture of European ships by Greek pirates;and it is sa id Commodore HAMILTON has svetted the English Cal ptAins of merchant ships not to sail except under the protection of men-of-war. An idea of the manner in which the internal admi, nistration of the Russian Empire was carried on during the last years of ALEXANDER, may be formed from a Report of the Committee recently presented to the Einpernr NICHOLAS by Prince LAI/JANOS) . ROSTOPSICY. in which he is informed that sixteen Governments had neglected to carry into execution two thousand seven hundred and forty-ninc Ukases addressed to them by th:. Directing Senate, from the year 1822 till 1824. The Committee, after severely teprim 'tiding those sixteen Government-, granted them one year for executing, those Ukase,, but the Emrcnon reduced the time to OH cc months, and ot &Ica that the Governors who &mid in future be guilty of %eh irregularities shoold be prosictited before the Criminal COWL • A Russian Ukasie'rermib• the exporj.tion•of horses on payment of a duty. Letters from Canes, pt the 7th ' Marl., quoted in a' notice from Fratikfort of the 7th instant, mention an. attempt at Treaty bet Ween Mug- TAPHA BET and Russo, Chief of ste Sphakiotes, and other Greek Captains, with a view to put down the in surgent bands. Russo, it is said, has promised evety thing in his power. Beyond the importa;=, Zi — Nliss'Ofonglti still held out on the 12th of Apia, little is really known of th e affairs of the Greeks. Notwithstanding all that has been said of Colunel FABVIEIt having arrived at Missolonghi, he appears to be still in Eastern Greece, where, if a letter from Genoa cf the Ist inst. is to be relied on, he defeated a corps of Arabs, 2,000 strong, on the 18th of March, which had been sent againt him to Salona, by Isaantat PACIIA. In another part of our Paper we have inserted from the London Gazette the official dispatches of the termi nation of the Burmese war, and the treaty by which it has been so happily concluded- The great impression our arms had made on the Burmese Emperor is evident by the concess'ons he has made to purchase peace. By this treaty, which was signed on the.l3J of January, the four provinces of Arracan, which the Burmese had for meriy usurpeJ, together with the provinces of Mergui, Tavoy, and Zea, ate to be ceded to the East India Company ; the Psovintes or Kingdoms of Assam, Cachar, Zeatung, and Murnipore, are to be pl.rced under Princes named by the British Government; commerce is to Ire put on a footing of recipro city, and the Burmese are to pay one entre of ru pees, about 1,200,0001. sterling, as an indemnity for the espences of the war. As by this treaty we obtain possession of the maritime provinces of the Burmese Empire, including the important hatbur of Rangoon, w. shall have increased means of resisting any future aggression, should the lesson just taught the Monarch of the White Elephant ever be forgotten. By the Mellish which brought the Burmese treaty, ' we have intelligence from Bhurtpore to the 25th De cember. At that date all the preparations for attack'ng the fortress were complete, with a force so overwhelming that there is I.ttle doubt of its fall. The following is a list of the ordnance prepared for the siege of Bhurtpore: Guns-1G 24-pounders, 2018-ditto, and 4 12-ditto. Howitzers-1! Mortars-45 11-inch, 12 10-ditto, and 2 13 ditto, total 111.

Private Letters from Madrid state, Mr. LAMB, the English Ambassador, had delivered two notes to the Due de no ritavino, in one of which he urged the the Spanish Government the recognition of South Anteltsit Independence. 1 1 A respectable Gentleman has put into our hands a tong letter from a friend of his, who was in Sierra Leone on the 26th January last, at the date thereof. Where he now is, is another question; but he does most fer vently pray that he was out of that horrible place. We insert the most striking parts of the letter.—Gieszow courier. "Sierra Leone, January 26,1826. " lam still in the land of the living, as you may suppose; but in this country one's own assertion is not sollicient, as the milit ar y agents, when, about to pay the troops ia• addition to the account of the individual, that he is alive, require also the certificate of the Centmanding Officer of the corps. You can form no idea of this horrible climate.. Most of the Officers lately come out, are dead. Out of the number of seven hundred men, some time ago In high health and spirits, and ready to go against the Asbantees, if that had been necessary, it would now be difficult to find fifty, or half Shit number, fit for duty. Last year a detachment, consisting of one hundred and ten soldiers and six officers medical commissaries included, were sent to garrison the Isles des Los. Five Officers are dead. The men are all nearly so. The survivors are wretched, miserable looking spectres. Amongst the Military it consists with my knowledge, that one company, on a particular station, was three times re-inforced in a short period. In one month (August) outof eighry.niue, six terjeants and twenty-eight privates died ! Captain Rou, Aide-de-eamp, and Lieutenant Turner extra died since the begiunhig of this month. This is the second nephew the ;;Genral has lost. His two Mencius .still living, but they go bottle in . au — lirst ship. The men composing the corps which are sent out from. )3ritain being culprits and convicts, exceed any thing t can state, in licetiousneu, depravity and villiany. They are nearly all low Irish. The crimes which am committed In one company in a week would exceed belief. When a fresh batch comes out and are landed the scenes are dreadful, and did not the climate and fever carry them off so fast, I know not what we should do. The Senior Lieutenants on the coast at present are principally Clerks, &c. who were appointed pro tempers. by the late Sir Charles M'Carthy, and confirmed by the Government at home. " With regard to the war on the Gold Coast, a more infamous I hoax was never practised than the battles fought with those negrou —the circumstances I had from an Officer who was present. The late Sir Charles il'Carthy, by his goodness, had endeared himself to the vat.ve blacks ; on a palaver or quarrel breaking out, he usually was able to settle it for them. The Ashautees and Akim people, with the Eantees, had a quarrel, Sir Charles was then on the Gold Coast ; he heard the Ashantees were coming down, and went to meet them with the band of the African Corps, several merchants and aventuret. and a few black soldiers to make a shew with. On their meeting tie Asbantees, Sir Chas. ordered the band replay God sow 14e ling, and advanced to meet them on friendly terms. —The barbarians, seeing the small number, fired at hint and the others who were with him, and killed and wounded several, put all I,lse white men they could seize, except one, to death. " The next battle of Colonel Sutherland, those barbarians came down in great force to Cape Coast Castle, and encamped nearly vitro miles from it. The Colonel proceeded to meet them with the natives and inhabitants, and both parties hid themselves and fired; the British were in reserve and did not fire, nor had occasion to fire the whole time. When the parties were tired of this they left off; Colonel Sutherland and the troops returned to the Castle. Next morning when they thought to begin again, the Askantem were gone, none could tell where, and lots of dead se gran were lying up and down, some of disease and some shot— finally, the Asbantees went back to their hones. Such is the story of• my informant." • Yesterday morning the Rev. Dr. &cadent° per formed Divine Service at the KILNS'S Palace in Pall-mall.

It is with the liveliest feelings of satisfaction that we have, this d ry, to announce to our Readers the princely subscription, on the part of our Most Gracious Sove. reign, of WOOL to the fund for the raid - of our dis tressed operatives.

Mr Loan—l am commanded by the King to acquaint your Lordship, that it has not escaped his Majesty's observation, that the 'manufacturing poor of Glasgow and its vicinity have hitherto borne with exemplary patience the severe distress to which they have beet exposed through the want of employment.
