. As , • —1 • • J , , • • T r .1 .411" ISII PAPERS. R . Fre ch Paper 4 4.lto the Ist instant, and the .f.toik Sunday, have arrives. The latter contradicts an article which ha& appearedjn the Pilote, under the date oC Vienna, September 20th, and which stated that Con stantinople was in ruins, and that the Stilt in and his son had been massacre d by the people. Letters from Venice state, that information had reached the Austrian Naval Department at that place of the arrival of Lord Cochrane with a few ships at Na poli di Romania, and of two divisions of the Greek fleet having immediately set sail. The first was reported to be under the command of his Lordship in person, and to be intended to act against the Captain Pacha, while the second was to operate against Alexandria. TheEtoik, however, considers this intelligence as premature, and maintains that Lord Cochrane had not quitted the wa ters of Messina, but was still waiting the arrival of those steam boats, the want of which, at the appointed time, -has brought Greece within a few degrees of its ruin. The Journal des Debate gives a private letter from Lisbon, dated the 16th ult. which announces the ap pearance of two fresh Decrees from the Princess Regent. The first directs the Superior Courts of Justice, the Council of Finances, aril the Junta of Commerce, to investigate the inconveniences and abuses resulting from the present organization of public tribunals, the distri bution of the Judges, and the mode of trial, and to re port upon them, in order that they may be removed.— The second seems intended as a compliment to the first, for it merely orders that all the laws, ordinances, de crees, and instructions, issued since the Ist of January, . 1603, shall be collected and deposited at the Hotel of the Ministry of Justice. We have also received Dutch and Hamburgh Papers to the Ist instant. An article from St. Petersburgh, dated the 16th of September, asserts in very positive terms that the Emperor and the whole of the Imperial Family would return to that capital early in the present month, instead of repairing to the army in Bessarabia. Meanwhile Moscow continued to be the seat of splendid fetes, in which the Duke of Devonshire excelled all his other competitors. General Paskewitsch, with two divisions of Infantry, and General Illowaisky, with 20,000 Cossacks, had been sent to the frontiers of Persia, there to receive further- orders. By his M .jesty's com mands, all soldiers wearing the honorary medal for twenty years faithful services, had been asked whether they would continue to serve with triple pay, or receive their honourable discharge, in order to accept, beside their pension, a more comfortable situation, on which they were to decide freely.

The following extract of a letter from an English mer- chant, dated Constantinople, sth of September, 1826, contains some particulars of the late conflagration in that city, which have not hitherto been known to the public : 44 We have had one of the most dreadful fires that ever devastated this unfortunate city. It took place on the 31st ult. at seven A. sr. and burnt till mid-day of the Ist inst. The port itself is included in the ruins, as well as an immense number of the konaks, or town residence, of the great—as many as 3.5 khans, though solidly built in stone ; and, as to the number of houses and shops, they are incalculable. It began at &ape Capousie, inside the Seraglio point, and extended across the mien to the •edge of the Marmora, in which direc Lion it extended as far as Yeai Capi. N The space burnt may be considered as nearly as possible one-twelfth of the whole city on that side the port ; but it comprehended, perhaps, the greatest part of the riches of the place; and, although the poorer classes are the least affected in the first instance, the whole com- munity will more . generally feel it in the end. The distress is, in fact, Arcady beyond description, and, as usual in this country, no combined means of relieving it are even thought of Khans had been considered safe, and a great mass of property had been hurried thither under that idea, when the *hole became after ' wards* prey to the intensity of the flames. A greal rnanyklives have been lost in the same' manner, and from ' Vizor Khan alone 1.1/ bodies hav?already been 'es.; tracted ! The muslin dealers have neatly all had theit shops destroyed, but their property, with the exception of scimething belonging to Hagi Asfaudur, has been saved. 44 The Jews were not touched in any way whatever. The French merchants are less fortunate, I believe, as the cloth bazaars suffered much, particularly a khan where the property was unfortunately comideted safe." A Dutch Mail has been received this morning, but its contents are unimportant. Perhaps there could not be a more felicitous comment on the mighty doings that were to have taken place at Ackermann, than the sub joined account of the very pacific manner in which the Turkish Plenipotentiaries snr)ked their pipes at an exhi bition of tumblers on that far-famed arena.—The fol ing are extracts : ' ui ' . ' ,~. 'p ACKEKMANN, AUGUST 17. At the distance of five versts from this town, there is a fountain, which is the mote remarkable, as it seems to diffuse around coolness and verdure, while all the adja cent tract is arid and covered with sand. This place is how the constant promenade of the Turkish Plenipoten tiaries, who go thither sometimes alone, and more fre quently accompanied by a numerous suite. They appear to find in this place a recollection of the fine calm evenings of the Levant. For some time past we have had here a company of tumblers, under the direction of M. Ciabati. Hadi and Ibrahim Efendi•have been several times to this exhibi tion, which appears to give them much pleasure. On these occasions, the places reserved for the Turkish Negotiators are next to those of the Russian Plenipo tentiaries. Refreshments are presented; and the Turks smoke during the whole of the performance. Tneir pipes are handed to them by their Tcbeboukchis, with all the luxury of Asiatic manners. Nothing can be more striking than this mixture of different costumes and manners, which appear to be mingled in a meet ing, t'le only object of which seems to be pleasure. ROME, Szerarmszti 13. Our Readers must be surprised at reading the ac count of the rejoicings at Ancona, for the security ob tained for the Pontifical flag, by the provident care of his Holiness, thanks to the powerful influence of his Most Christian Majesty, just at the time when an Al gerine squadron, in those seas, with unlleard-of perfidy and contempt of the rights of nations, molests t'le navi gation of the subjects of his Holiness, in spite of the most solemn and repeated promises and declarations of peace ; all alarm will, however, cease, when it is con sidered that such vile treachery secures us a speedy reparation of our wrongs, by the interference of the Monarch, our Protector, and will obtain a guarantee which will not be violated in future: WARSAW, Serramiza 17. His Majesty has given orders that all persons be longing to the Government Boards, and Officers of State, shall put on mourning for 'three days, out of respect to the memory of the late Palace Zaimzeck, Viceroy of the Kingdom of Poland. • STOCKHOLM, Strrnim 19. The State Gazette of yesterday contains his Majesty's letter of the 31st ult. to the Bank Directors, requiting the payment of 500,000 rubles, as the half of the mil lion granted by the Diet, to be employed in the purchase of corn for the relief bf the indigent, in case of a consi derable, deficiency in the harvest, when private exertions would not suffice to supply the want; the Gazette con tains also the answer of the Directors on the 14th Sep tember, acceding to his 'Majesty's desire. Elfsborg, Skaraborg, and Wertnland, are the districts most in need of a supply of corn. Very recent accounts from St, Petersburgk uy, it was believed there that Count Nesselrode will go as Ambassador to London; and Count Capo d'lstria becoMe Minister of Foreign Affairs in his stead. STOCKHOLM, Sen. 22. The Bank paid on Monday 300,000 ru dollars of the half million assigned for the purchase of Corn. WARSAW, Sm. 17. It is reported that the Coronation of his Majesty our King will be deferred till neat spring. HAMBURGII Sm. 26. _ _ An express in five days from Vienna has bFought word that the negotiations between the Russian and Turkish Plenipotentiarie, weve going on in a perfectly satisfactory manner ; and that in con sequence of this state of things, so desirable fur the continuation of peace, the Austrian funds bad risen. Papers have been received from Guatemala to the 2d of July inclusive, and letters to the 12th of the same month, The Congress closed its sittings on the 30th of Juts', with quiet formality; and of the alleged disturbance between the militia and Government troops not a single trace is to be found. The Paris morning papers of Saturday, and the Etoile dated Sunday. have arrived;but contain no news of importance.— Our Correspondent's letter from Constantinople of the Stb ult. gives the amount of damage done by the late fir., but has not a word of the reported murder of the SuLTax and his son, 'which the French Papers have given. The Duke of Youx took his usual daily airing yester day afternoon for about two hours. Sir lIRRIRST TAYLOR, Sir Hzsiair Tow" and Sir Wit.t.euctiar GORDON. transacted business with his Royal Highness at the residence of the Duke of RUTLAND'S, in Arlingtuastreet.

Tt.e Duke of CLARENCE arrived at Deal on Saturday evening, in his Majesty's yacht the Royal George, and proceeded round the North Foreland for the River. The Loan CHANCELLOR and the Conwess of ELDON bays arrived at their seat at Encombe. The health of ber Ladyship, we are happy to hear, is considerably improved. Dispatches were received at the Foreign Office yes terday from Mr. Secretary CANNING. There is a strong contest this year fir the Mayoralty of Guildford, in consequence of a vacancy in the Bench of Alder men; and yesterday the Corporation met, according to annual cue = tom, to nominate two of the Bailiffs, when the highest numbers were—for J. RANO, Fwq. 18, and louotto. Emus Esq. 14, and who were accordingly returned for the election this Clay. The attempt to establish a French Uperfs Cosuire in London has been abandoned=—the LOW/ Cnoinsearrur refusing to grant a license, and the projectors being unwilling to incur the risk of establishing it by subscription. J. M. CARTER, Esq. Mayor of Hertford, gave his Inauguration dinner on Friday, at the Town Hall, at which the Marquis of &LIMNS, Lord Mom the County Members, Mr. BYRON, M.P.

On the east side is the following inscription : John Hooper, D. D. Bishop of Gloucester and Worcester, was burnt on this spot do Saturday, February 9,1555, for his steady ad• herence to the Protestant religion." _ _ _ On the south side are the Arms of the Sees of Gloucester and Worcester empuled ; on the north the Bishop's Family Arms; and on the west the following inscription; __ _ _ "This Monument was erected by James araland, Esq. of Rath - Gael House, Bangor, Ireland—September, 1826."—Gloutater Jour- teal, September 23. When 1)r. John Hooper was appointed to the See of Gloucester, the Herald that granted and emblazoned his arms placed therein three crosses on a bar, with rays of glory shining from Heaven on them; and for the crest—a Lamb in flames. Bishop Hooper was much affected when he saw it, and said," I think I shall die for the truth." There was a remarkable coincidence in the grant of the very sin gular crest and arms to Bishop Hooper, as they proved highly em blematical of his future sufferings; fur truly he went like a lamb to the stake, and sustained the tortures inflicted on him with pious re signation, meekness, and patience ; he bore also three severe crosses, for he was burnt in three successive fires; and surely Divine grace shone from Heaven on him, when he was so signally supported in that dreadful extremity. Bishop Hooper had the above arms engraved on a steel seal (for his private use), which was carefully preserved in the family, and is now (1826) in the possession of his descendant, Bliu Wiuefreci Hooper, Castle-street, Hereford. As some workmen were levelling the ground at Sr. Mary de Lode's Square, in Gloucester, on Thursday, November, 18, 1824, on opening the spot on which Bishop Hooper was burnt, they dis covered the hut end of the stake (to which he had been fastened) that was sunk in the earth; it was about three feet in length, and eight inches in diameter, and appeared to have been made of a young elm tree, with the. bark on. -On being exposed to the air, it soon mouldered to dust, except some pieces that were care fully preserved. The English Opera House will close its performances for the year, after a most successful season, on Thursday. It is singular, that three pieces, written by the same author, should have been repeated, night after night , to overflowing audiences; Afore Breakfast, Jonathan in England, and Presumption r all by Mr. Plum hlavessws concluded his engagement at this Theatre last night, with the same eclat that had attended the whole of its pro gress. Ile was warmly and unanimously applauded throughout. The Gaceta de Colombil, of the '2.1 July, announces the appointment of Senor SANTOS AIICHELENA, as Consul General to London ; and he was to be empowered to arrange all the financial concerns of his Government in this country. M. HURTADO was to remain solely occupied with the diplomatic duties. BIBLE AND TRACT SOCIETIES.—The number of tracts issued by the London Religious Tract Society, last year, was 10,500,000; the publications in' all languages, since the establishment of the Society, are estima r 1 at 100,000,000; since 1808, tracts have been printed in 42 languages, and the receipts dining the past year, in England and America, amounted to 1,600,000 dollars. At the Blandfnrd (Dorset) Petty Sessions, held last week, Richard Moore, surveyor, made a complaint against farmer .[anus Althorpe, for having refused to send his team to draw stones for the use of the road, when directed so to do by him, the surveyor. The farmer said he wanted his team for other purposes, and that it was during the harvest. The CHAIRMAN said, that is quite a sufficient plea. Every farmer is legally and properly exempt from statute labour during the harvest month. The complaint was dismissed. It is a circumstance no less singular than true, that the first record for marriage entered into the Session'. book of the West Palish of Greenock commences with Adam and Eve, being the Christian names of the male and female who came forward a few nights aloe the book was prepared. QUEEN ANNE'S PARTHINGS...—It is a prevailing mis take that no more than four " farthings" were coined in the reign of Queen Arms:. N3w the fact is, that instead of only four coins of this description being struck, five diprent sorts were coined, of the following descriptions: —l. ANNE'S current farthing, 1714, which now sells at from 2s. 6d. to 5.. if in extraordinary fine preservation, they sometimes fetch 155.-2. The current farthing, with a broad rim, if a fine impression, worth a guinea; 3,4, 5. Three " pattern pieces," one with Britannia under a canopy, and the others representing Peace in a car, 1713; these were not in general circulation, but distributed from the Mint to persons connected with the Government, and are therefore much more scarce than the two former, especially those with the figure of Peace, which are commonly sold at 11. 1 ls. 6d. to 21. 2s. even the finest impressions seldom producing more titan three guineas. But the rarest of these farthings is one of the ;lecterns coined on the occasion of SWIFT'S proposals for the improvement of the British coinage; it has the usual bust of Queen ANNE on the obverse, and on the reverse the Legend BELLo ET PACE 1713, with the figure of Britannia standing with an olive branch in her right hand, and a spear in her left, a floe specimen of which was in the late Dr. HUNTER'S possession, and was re moved with his collection of coins and medals to the University at Glasgow, where it now remains. They are all well executed, and on the best copper ; there are a great number of counterfeits of the current farthings, but being badly manufactured are easily detected by connoisseurs. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. This has been the dullest day we bare had fur some time past, both fur intelligence and speculations. Consols have remained steady during the whole of the morning, at per Cent. fluctuation, at the commencement of the Market they were 80 to i for the Account, and up to the present time they may be quoted at 806 to and for Money at tlOl ; some small lots have been sold at 80 for Money, making a centango of per Cent. for nine days, to the Account day. In the Foreign Market . the Brokers are quite idle. . . LORD AMHERST. LITTER FROM Ton HON CAPTAIN AHHHILST TO CHAU= 211,01V15, =Q. or THE BENGAL CIVIL THOTICIL Public rumour will have probably conveyed, ere this reaches you, the account of the Governor General', recall. As he wishes it, as well as the grounds which bave induced the authorities at home to adopt this measure, to be made as public as possible, that all may have an opportunity of judging of Its justice, I send you the particu tars of this case. The first complaint i s , th e delay which occurred in sen di ng h ome the Report of the Court of Inquiry on the causes which led to the mutiny at Barrack poor; the second is, that the evils disclosed before that Court were not immediately redressed; and the third, that the Government omitted to comment on the Report when forward ing it home. The answer to the first is, that tie Report was so voluminous, that much time necessarily elapsed betore it could be perused by the members of Government-Attending at the same time to the routine of their official duties. The late Mt. Adam was also, at that time, shortly expected in Calcutta, and the Governor General was anxious, naturally, to obtain the opinion of so experienced a man upon such an important question. The answer to the second is, that if the Court had delayed their precipitate judgment about a fortnight, they would have found that not only all evils were redressed, but that additional pay and comfort were granted to the troops in Arracan. To the third complaint, it is answered, that all comment was omitted, because none was required, the case being as clear as possible, and requiring no extraordinary intellect to determine who were to blame and who not. It was omitted out of delicacy to Sir R. Noe; who, as a member of the Government, must have passed censure on himself and on those immediately responsible to him. We have great pleasure in announcing, on authority which we cannot question, that Mr. CANNING, in his in terview with the French KING, was received with the utmost cordiality, and that the Duc de BERRI and the old Court-pasty have shewn him the most flattering at tenti:ms. On the subject of the negociation of a com mercial treaty, Messrs. TERNAUX, CASSIMIR PERRIER, &c. have disclaimed, in the most decided manner, the imputation that they had thrown any obstacles in the way of it ; and have expressed, on the contrary, their most sincere disposition to carry it into effect, although they ale understood to have intimated their conviction that the old prejudices of the French people Are so deeely rooted, as to render sanguine expectation, for the present at least, somewhat premature. Whatever may be the state of feeling on this subject among the French manufacturers, no min is more adapted to sooth than Mr. CANNING. ll.s p rsonal accomplishments, and his frank and unassuming demeanour, the whole tenour of his public conduct, are such as to conciliate prejudice, .and to concentrate the opinions of the most opposite parties. There is nothing in him of trick and artifice, and diplomatic intrigue; but he proceeds on the great basis of national benefit. He does not seek a good for his country, to be purchased at the expense of France. But he aims at that mutual interchange of commodities, which may be equally beneficial to both. At the same time we hope his honest intentions will not be imposed on, and that while he is seeking only that which is per fectly honourable, and mutually advantageous, he may not be drawn by Fl such conning into concessions which may be prejudicial to the commerce or manufactures of England. ~,, . The — Lady of Sir JACOB ASTLEY is now residing in Dorchester. Mrs. BRAtnioNT has completed her purchase of the estate of Mr. RUSHWORTK, in Yorkshire, one of the partners of the Banking-house of Waserwoarst and Co. for £50,000. Female archery is quite in fashion this summer: this is as it should be—the Ladies ought to hive• the opportunity of drawing die beaux (bows). The Journal des Debeds states, that Sir FRANCIS BUR• .orre had arrived at Bordeaux with his family, and that he intended to pus the winter in that city. By mutual concession and arrangement between the two Winter Theatres, Cornea removes to Drury Lace. Thursday, Mr. Alderman FALCONAR was chosen Mayor of the borough of Doncaster, for the year ensuing. Monday, Joist' Alum:, M.D. was elected Mayer of Beverley, for the ninth time ; a circumstance unparalleled in the annals of that Corporation, and perhaps of that of most others. Cowes, SEPT. 30 —The Right Hon. Lord Ys a• BOROUGH has been appointed, by virtue of a patent from his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, Provincial Grand Muter of the Isk of Wight. Sailed the Jack o'Lantern yacht, JOHN Lennox, Esq. Owner, for Naples. The Rev. ISAAC KING was elected on Thursday Mayor of Chipping Wycombe. The Rev. Mayor announced his intension to hold a Petty Sessions every Saturday, as usual, and to throw the doors open, as, in his opinion, the publicity given to its proceedings would tend to the prevention of crime and immorality. A steam-boat is now navigating the Grand Junction Canal as a general carrier—it will convey twenty tons. A considerable mortality prevails at Amsterdam. In the last months, the deaths were 223, the births 142. . . A few days since, a pumpkin, of the surprising weight of 94 lbs. and measuring six feet six inches in circumference, was gathered from the garden of Nom PALMER, Eaq. of Holme Park. The main secret of being sublime is, to say great things in few and plain words. —Blain IMPROVEMENTS AT HYDE PARK CORNER.—We be lieve that St. George's Hospital will be removed. Lord Gaosvetros offered, a year ago, to rebuild it on his own land, gratis, if the Governors would give him the ground; but the application was not acceded to. Since that period, however, there has been an ap plication from another quarter—namely, the Knso. Lord ROURT &inmost made a communication to the Board at one of their last sittings. EDINBURGH, SEPTEMBER 30.—The system of intimi dation and violence practised by the cabinet makers here is quite io tolerable, and will assuredly expose the first of these misguided men upon whom the arm of the law falls to severe punishment. In the beginning of this week, a respectable master cabinet-maker engaged two men to supply the place of some of those belonging to the asso ciation who had struck work. The shop is regularly watched, and the two new hands had scarcely quitted it, when they found they were dogged by four journeymen personally unknown to thee, who literally chased them home to their lodgings, and watched than there for some time. The men were so much Impressed with an idea that personal violence was intended, that they wrote a letter to their employer next day, begging him to release them from their engagement, and declaring that they considered their lives in danger if they worked with him. About the sane time, a workshop was again broken into in the night time, and the tools of a man who was working against the rules of the as:ociatiou were destroyed. Monday week the New Charter, revenue cruiser, whilst off Calais, fell in with a ten-oared galley, to which she gave chase, and succeeded in capturing her, it being manned with a greater proportion of British than foreign. The Commander of the cruizer, Captain WORDSWORTH, in re-loading a musket, had the finger of his right hand blown off, and has since suffered amputation. ALLEN RAMSAY.—This pleasing author of the pas• coral comedy called " The Gentle Shepherd," wrote the following :pigram, on receiving the present of an orange from the Cosintos of Asorats: •• Now, Priam 's son, thou may'st be mute, For I can proudly vie with thee; Thou to the fairest gyve the fruit, The fairest gave the fruit. to me." P \ fi
