The sentences passed by it In conformity with misting taws, bat mitiptal by us as far as the chinas of justice and the safety of the &spire permitted us, have been published and car ried into eirset ;in this manner an affair has been terminated which we haws always considered as the stilt of ail Russia ; the cri minals received their merited punishment; the country is freed from the contagious disease which bad been en long spread ing in secret. Whets we again have our eyes on these deplorable *emu, we shall find that we have one duty to perform. On the spot where seven months ago the breaking out of a sudden rebel lion at once revealed to us the horrible secret of an evil which bad already ten years' growth, a last act of commemoration, an atoning sacrifice, must consecrate the memory of the Russian blood shed there in the cause of Religion, of the Sovereign, and the country. Solemn thanksgivings must be offered to the Awatourr. We have acknowledged his hand, when it tore the veil that covered this de testable mystery. We have acknowledged that he suffered the crime to arm itself, and thus prepared its destruction. The rebel lion, like a sudden tempest, seemed to have broken out only to destroy the conspiracy, of which it was the first oven act. This conspiracy was not in the character or in the manner of the Russian nation. Contrived by a handful of criminals. it bad no accomplices but a small number of men who were in constant intercourse with their corrupt hearts and unbridled passions; and in spite of wicked and persevering 'unions for ten years, it could not proceed in extending any farther.— The heart of Rossi* has been, and always will be. ktaccessible to such attempts. The Russian name does not disgrace itself by tres. chery to the Throne and the Country. We have, on the contrary, received, on this occasion, the most affecting proofs of unbounded devotion We have seen fathers arm themselves with inexorable severity against their criminal children--the nearest relations give t.; ;lie wretches suspected of being accomplices--in a word, all dosses of our subjects, inspired by the UAW feellop, unanimously : - land the sentence and punishment of the goihy.

According to the inscrutable deirees of the Aunts:err, who makes good to proceed from evil, these very events may contribute , to the pnblie good.— i May parents now devote all their attention to the moral edu cation of their children ! It is not to the progress of CiViliZ3- lion, but to vanity, which is more fatal than indolence, to want of knowledge, that we must ascribe those unbridled thoughts —those violent passions--that confused and fatal half knowledge— that propensity to eatmagant theories and reveries, which begin in demoralisation, and end lu ruin.—ln vain are all the efforts, all the sacrifices of the Government, unless domestic education supports its vlewa,snd sows the seeds of morality in the heart. litre, as in every thing eke, the Nobility, the bulwark of the Throne and of the national honour, must set the example. All the care which it em. ploys in the improvement of a national education, consecrated to Russia, and given in its bosom, will be acknowledged u ith equal satisfsetion and gratitude. In our country, all the roads to I honour and the service of the State, are open to the Nubility. —The Administration of Justice, the Army, the branches of internal Government—all require able and active Officers.-- klay therefore all classes of citizens give the Government the same confidence ! to our Empire, where love to the Sovereign and fidelity tic this Throne are hereditary qualities in the people, where a rigour. bus administration is united wits truly national laws, all the efforts of the wicked will be absurd and unavailing. They may envelope themselves Ist darkness, but when they come into the light they are crushed by the laws andihe general indignation of the people. In suck. an organitatiob of the State, every one may depend on the ,stability of order, the Security of property and persons, and without feki for the present lea with hope to the future. It is not by rash and destcactive enterpvk!s, hut gradually, that real ameliorations ar;maAg; defects supplied, and &bites remedied. In this progressive Improvement, every wise wish for amelioration, every thought tending to consolidate the laws, to spread true knowledge, and to develope industry, which metes to us through the legal ways which are open to all, will always be received by es with gratitude, for we have no other wish, and am have no other than to see our country attain the highest degree kfpresperity and glory to which Patertamace has destined it.

E. Wakefield having been in cus tody on a charge of felony, and not of misdemeanor, is entitled, if he chooses, to traverse. It is said that Mrs. Frances Wakefield, late Miss Davies, will make her vo luntary appearance in COurt, and give bail on Monday, to prevent the issuing of any compulsory process against her. The manner• in which she is implicated in the conspiracy is, by having futnished E. Wakefield, her stepson, with the pecuniary means of accomplishing this fraudulent abduction. W. Wakefield's trial cannot come on Lefo.e Thursday next at the soonest, in con sequence of Mr. Justice Park's determination to devote the first three days of next week to the trial of the rioters.

The report which I mentioned in my last, respecting an engagement between some Greek pirates, and the Cambrian frigate, proves, unfortunately, to have too much foundation. It is not, however, the Cambrian, but the Sybille frigate, which has sustained the loss.— The Commander, Captain Pechell, is accounted one of the best, if not the best, in the Mediterranean. His ship is'always in most excellent fighting trim. It seems that a set of pirates had, for a length of time, established themselves on the southern coast of the island of Candle, in a part all but inaccessible. They fortiE..ed the sp , in such a way, that if chased they could pit their vessels into shallow water, leave them, and, placing themselves behind their rude breast-works, make a stout defence. For the last few weeks, the Archipelago has become so dangerous, that ao vessel sails without a convoy. Two brigs, the one a Maltese, the other a Sardinian, were boarded, rifled, and their crews maltreated—even tottered, by these miscreants. They were ordered to make the best of their way back to Malta; but the winds proving contrary, they were obliged to run for Alexandria. They told the treatment they had receive" to Captain Pechell, who instantly determined to diirre the pirates from their strong holds. The entrance to the creek (of which he was informed by a Greek master) proved to be so narrow that huh; cr nuthing could be done, as the gnus could not be made to bear upon the Greek vessels. The crews, who, according to their system, had left them, to repair to their walks on the land, when .sum. moned to surrender, said, that if their ships were burst, they must starve, and of the two deaths, they preferred being shot. A severe action took place, in which eighteen of our men were killed, besides three officers, and twenty two wounded. There is reason to believe that the Greek ves..els were not much injured ; although the Malta Papers say, two were destroyed, and the other too crippled. The ftigate's boats made the attack, and were exposed to a severe fire, not being protected by the can, non of their own ship. This is treating the Greeks too lightly; it should be remembered that they are a set of desperate fellows, young, exceedingly active, and ever in the midst of danger. Besides, when engaged with a man of war, they are fighting with a nonte round their rocks; if taken they are hanged—and if not taken, but their ships destroyed, they must starve—and surely the risk of being shot, with, at the same time, the chance of escape, is the better of the alternatives. This they feel, and generally when they fight, tight desperately. I assure you, that their little rocks are so dependent on trade, and on the Continent for supplies, that now,when trade is at an end, and no merchant will consign Ins cargo in a Greek bottom, to live they must pirate. We expect some severe work now; for this aff,i4 of the Sybil wilt bring us about their ears ;.and as the islanders were, I and are, much more ferocious than their coctinental brethren, they will occasion some trouble. Lieutenant Gordon, who had three shots through his body, and who is since dead, is deeply regretted. 'All the garrison of Corfu bear testimony to his excellent conduct as a Gentleman, and his bravery as a eriscap. Lieutenant Tupper is also dead, and one midshipman. Captain Hamilton's plan, if feasible in all cases, is the best : eighteen Greek ships, upon seeing him, made for the land, and there proposed to detend themselves, as usual, behind rocks, and stones, and rude fortifications: they were 1,000 strong. Captain Hamilton promised to land them on the Continent if they would give up their vessels. His determined character seemed to have in fluenced them, for they instantly consented, and were, accordingly, landed. Of course, they will join their brethren; and the private valour a ilittow be a virtue. By the last accounts from Napoli di Romania, we learn that the Greek Government have issued strong erders aitist pirates, and prayed for assistance from foreign Powers to quell them. The plague rages aasong the troops of ISrah:m, and the summer fevers are cantos into play as strongly as the plague, so that something may yet be done. Saturday, the remains of Lieutenant BeLL, whose existence was so unfortunately terminated by the discharge front the musket taf a recruit, on the Strand, at Sandymount, near Dublin, were interred in St. Patrick's Cathedral, with all the military ho noir', and were attended by the carriages of several of the Nobility. The funeral service was read in a very solemn and impressive manner by the Rev. Dr. Meaux i and excited no common senriii tity at the catastrophe of the gallant soldier. We briefly mentioned yesterday the deAth of the Right Rev. Dr. WarunntroN, Bishop of the rich Diocese of Cloyne, which event took place at nine o'clock on Wednesday morning at the Palace, Cloyre. His Lordship was in a delicate state of health for some time past, but the recent demise of a beloved and affec tionate daughter took such an effect on his Lordship, • that as alte ration for the worse became manifest; and it was soon discovered that his recovery was hopeless. The walls of the Great Hall, at Greenwich, are now de corated by portraits of our distinguished Naval Commanders; most of them were given to the Hospital by the present Kress. There are like wise some beautiful Bettie pieces, painted by our best artists, ter the late Admiral BA saixorom, which were presented by the vene rable Bishop of Dualtaat.
