The Greeks are not contented wish the new form of government which it is intended to give them, namely, that which is now established in the principalities ul Moldavia and Wallachia. They wish to have no de pendence whatever on the Tut ks, and are firmly re solved not to accept this proposal. ST. PETERSBURGH, Novaina IS. According to the report of General Yermoloff, of the 22d of October, the Persians, soon after the retreat over the Ara:es, had fled into the province of Kara bach, and do not venture to attempt anything. The enemy, driven from the vicinity of ET ivan, by General Davidow, has not again shewn himself. The Schah of Persia is in the town of Agar, having been joined by Abbas Mirza, whose troops are scattered in the greatest disorder. The Schah is exerting himself to collect more troops, but more for his own defence than to make Another attack. The Persians are in great want of all necessaries. In the province of Karabach, which is now cleared of the enemy, to anquillity prevails. In Daghesran the principle tribes have remained faithful to Persia. AU Pacha Mirza, one of the Schales sons, who dur ing the first sudden incursion of the Persians, had en tered our frontiers to excite revolt in the provinces on the Black Sea, is still among the mountains that separate Schirvan, and Dtgbestan. General Yermoloff having restored order in Southern Georgia, is collecting *body of troops about Arpatchy, to act on that side, and in tends to march at the head of this corps through I Kachetia, Tcharia, and Noncha, towards the province of Schirvan, in order to chive from that province the remaining Persian troops, or to cut off their retreat if they should not hasten to evacuate k. It was affirmed that Abbas Mirsa, to frighten the Khans under his command, had had four chiefs hung, who, after the first battle in the Chambora, were left in Elisabethpol with a gan ison of 5,000 men, but instead of making such a resistance as they ought to have done, had Bed at the approach of the Russians. Some time since we anug.unced the appointment of the new Chairman to the Stamp Office Revenue De partment. Several dismissals wok place, and, amongst them, the Chairman, JAMES SEDGWICK, Esq. Most of the Gentlemen displaced are to receive pensions, but the case of Mr. SEDOWICK was reserved. It is now de cided that Mr. &DOW= leaves the Chair without any compensation whatever, either as pension or otherwise- The new Chairman comes in at an advanced silary tit 2,0001. per annum, with a Deputy Chairman; but the arartments heretofore occupied by the Chairman, are to be converted into offices. The alterations in the general management of the Stamp Office, as we gave them, are still in contem plation. Mr. Terris, who had been in the Office up wards of forty years, and who was pensioned off at 6001. per annum, about a year since, i% lately dead, and his situation was filled by a Gentleman who was em. played upon the recent Stamp Reports.

" ALDIRIKANIO ELECTION.—it is expected a Court of Aldermen will be holden on the 19th instant, at which Mr. Sheriff Winchester will be returned as the elected Alderman for Vintry Ward; but a petition against his being sworn in will be presented, on the part of Mr. Wilde, his competitor. The first ground will be, that the wardmote was dissolved after the close of the poll, instead of being adjourned, in order that the votes might be scrutinized at a future time, if a scrutiny should be demanded. Mr. Wilde demanded a scrutiny, aid it was granted ; but it was not conducted at a con• rinuation of the was dmote called for the election, as , seems to be directed by the law regulating City Elec. lions, but at a new wardmote called for the purpose.— A second objection is taken to the manner of keeping the poll. The question of the eligibility of a Sheriff to be elected an Alderman will be raised, after the Sheriff, has been sworn, by a motion in the Court of King'sl Bench, caning on him to sties► cause why he claims to 's he an Alderman.

The pri nc i N characters are Julia, the Vestal, Licinius, her lover, ach i the chief Vestal. They were played by Kladame RADOM, Signor Cuntowt, and Madame litActoil, The story is founded on en event related to It In ie History : the living entombment of Gorgin, a Vesta) Virgin, who violated her vows. The fatal catas•roph e is altered—the Goddess, by a miraculou, telighting/ the srcred file, intimating her forgivenes.. th e second act there is a iemaikably fine Scena. .14 1 commences with a prayer to the Goddess. Tit ci d invoco con orrore—she stirs up the fire, but thi n k, re flame turns pale; after suffering much agitation, s h e resolves to give way to love, but hesitates when the e qu . sequences present themselves to her thoughts; however, prevails—she is unable to resist the tem u. lion presented by aq opportunity of seeing and speaking with her lover, and at length exclaims " La mia carte I deelsa La carters tN eompita Viessi, amato mio ben, t'offro Is elm." The meek throughout this Scena i, excellent. Th e fluctuations of feeling are admirably expressed, and we have rarely beard anything in the way of accompa e . ment more powerful than that to the words Fug ue , amer la pena han gin prescritto, and that with which the Scent clones. A Duet, alb.', 11i quegii sguardi ieneti, is beautiful and impassioned. The effect of the chorus behind the scenes, 11 cid vendella guida, is good, and the concluding chorus is spirited and pleasing. —The scene of the third act is the field in which offending Vestals have been buried. The whole scene was hidden from the audience by clouds for some minutes. La Vrstak, which is considered by the musical world to be the chef dieuvre of SecieTtut, excited the general admiration of the Parisian public, and is likely to attract much attention, and to command much patro. nage here. SPONTINI'S style is flowing and harmonious. He is peculiarly felicitous in his marches and chornssrs. The match and chorus with which, in the first act, Liciaius, the hero of the drama, and his friend, eirm, are introduced in a triumphal procession, are pure and forcible compositions. The march is distingui4sed by Is bold and vigorous harmony, and the general chorus is so framed as, from time to time, to rest and to it, with a striking and beautiful effect. The finale to the first act is very good, but that with which the Opera closes is still better. The latter is a compo-ition in which grace and power are most skilfully combined.— It is one of the cleverest productions in this branch of the art that we have recently heard. Tt‘e address to tbegoddess Vesta, in the first act, is also an able corn ' position. It breathes a pure, refined, and ardent spirit of devotion in every movement. The overture is, in all respects, suited to the subject. Its great characteristic is a grand and touching solemnity. Here, and like wise in the finale to the Opera, we were strongly re. minded of Rossini, who, it is said, has availed himself, not unfrequently, of the works of his brother composer. The part of Lkialus has Seen given to Signor CURIO I, who entered into the feelings of the at first hopeless, but ultimately successful 'over, with much energy, Several opportunities are afforded him for the display of voice and science, which he improved to the utmost. The most important character is, however, that of JII• lie (La Vestak), which has been intrusted to bLiclarne CARADORI. She has a great deal welts, and she does it exceedingly well, considering the short time she can have had for preparation. The music allotted to her is chiefly of a melancholy and desponding character. Jao lie, a vestal, loves, and as her office denotes, must love without hope.: Hence her sorrows—hence her vino plainings—which were described by Madame CARA. DORI with unaffected pathos. She has, however, to. wards the end of the first act, a long and animated sceaa in the temple of Vesta, which she executed with great spirit. In the last scenes, where the intervention of a miracle induces the priesthood, who were about to pu nish Julia with death, to absolve her from her vows, and permit her union with Licinies, Madame CARA.. Doat's expression of joy was chaste and natural. The scenery of the opera is well painted by ZARA; and the processions, which are very numerous, are conducted on a splendid scale. With these adjuncts, La Vestak mug unquestionably become very popular. Two new daacers made their appearance in the DI• vertissements, which were introduced into the Opera, a M. Goimatur and a Mademoiselle Buaorr. Gossaux possesses considerable muscular vigour, and dances with steadiness. Mademoiselle Buxom is firm and rapid. and displays much neatness of execution. The House was extremely well attended for the first night of the season, and the applause, throughout the Opera, fre 'quent, and, at its close, universal. DRURYZANR. The Devil's Bridge was repeated on Saturday, after which s new Farce was acted for the first time, under the title of 4 ' White Liss, or the Major and the Minor." This piece is the production of Mr. Lust,. His pre 'sent sketch takes its Lame from the efforts made by a young husband, a minor, to deceive his brother, a Major in the army, on the subject of his marriage, which event, under the circumstances set forth, enable 'the latter to deprive the former of an annuity, his prin cipal income. The husband gets arrested for debt, and is confined with a widower, who is merrily disconsolate on account of the loss of a bad wife, and who is brought into his present scrape by a libel on the Major. A series of ludicrous mistakes arise out of these circumstances. All the characters are, in turn, supposed to be anything but what they really are, and hence arises a set of equi voques in the true spirit of broad farce. Eventually die Major, who had paid his addresses to his sister•iii , on discovering that she is already a wife, admits that he had been clasp( sed to offer her marriage, and finds in his own conduct a reconciling apology for that conduct which he had previously condemned in his brother. — The character of Barnalw, the mourner for a bad wife, is well imagined, and most amusingly personified by HA 'Lat. The affectation of grief, and the reality of glee, were well exhibited, and though some of his antics rather " overstepped the modesty of nature "they com pletely effected his object, that of moving ;be risibility of the audience. WALLACI, Coors* Bsstaarr, and Mrs. MOIR acted very well-the severa l parts assigned to them, and the result was all that the House or the Author could have desired.
