We are all here in a state of great excitement and anxiety. Last night was the most artful one I ever passed. We were sitting at whist as the clocks chimed a quarter to eleven ; at that moment we were all st•usi. ble of the shock of an earthquake, not however violent enough to make any extraordinary impression, and we pursued our game. About two minutes elapsed, when we experienced a most awful repetition. The walls of the house were dreadfully agitated, our candles were overturned, chairs and tables thrown from one side of the room to the other—we could scarcely maintain our erect position, and were so perfectly pa ralysed that me never thought cf getting out of the 11 , use; indeed, my own belief was, that the house must fall before we could possibly get out of it, and that it was therefore useless to move. The ceiling was coming down upon us in large flakes, and the fall of a large mirror at the moment, which we took to be part of the house, added to the alarm. It was, indeed, appalling; never, never, shall I forget it. It passed, having lasted 40 seconds. We then went into the street, where ci owds were on their knees, pray ing most fervently. A general rush was made for the square in which the Pa lace is. There weiound thousands collecting and col lected—women and men just as they bad jumped out of bed, with the addition of a blanket thrown around them—mothers in the agony of grief and apprehension, clasping their children to their bosoms—lathers and brothers endeavouring to provide them with covering— groupes of females in every direction calling each other's 1 , names to be assured that all was safe. Dismay and despair were general. No one would return home, and thousands passed the whole night in the square. !tree o'Clock, pav —I have just returned from making a round of the town, to observe the t xtent of damage; several houses are thrown entirely down; many are rent asunder from top to bottom. The Ca thedral, a splendid edifice, has one of its wings rent from the base to the tower. Scarcely a house in the city is without injury mine has every one of its prin cipal walls split in several places; dining-room in rums; the par trios) of my bed•room has fallen in; and had I been in bed, I should have been at least severely bruited. A severe shock has not been felt here until now, since the year 1805. About six years ago, it is said, there was a slight one, but no injury aas done.— It appears miraculous that only three lives have been lost. Many who are here, and were at Caraccas during the great earthquake there, say that this shock was much more severe ; but the houses being better built here, the injury has been less. - Waif past Pm easek.—l have been taking another survey, and was surprised to find that hundreds of families are sending bads and bedding into the plain, and erecting booth, there for the night. AU fear another shock. 19th, Twelve o'Clock. Koo&—This night has pancd quietly, and the alarm is subsading. _ - [PRICE SEVENPENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. 'ROM THE CONSTITUTIONNEL: Notwithstanding the assertions of the Ministerial Journals, it is dzfficult to believe that the Foreign Ministers who are assembled at Johannisberg, went there merely on a complimentary visit to M. de Metter nich. Reflecting persons cannot fail to h..ve remarked that there is a representative from almost every Euro. pean Power, with the exception of England. It will be remembered that the death of Lord Castlereagh was the signal fur the official renunciation of the principles o: the Holy Alliance by the Court of Sc. James's, and caused the almost total extinct ioa of this unpopular con federacy ; it has received a still more important check in the death of its chief, the Emperor Alexander..._ Time, and the events which it was the object of the Holy Alliance to at rest and retard, have nearly added the finishing str. ke to its ee,truccion, and that unholy fraternity, so dear to M. de Metterni c h, i s now , i n f act , completely annihilated. Has M. Metternich conceived some nevi plan with a view to resuscitate an alliance, which, after an existence of :en )ears only, fell into a premature old age? Can E gland have a similar design, and is this the reason that she alone, among all the great Powers, has declined sending an-Ambass3dor to Johannisberg P Every day produces some event which gives the m rgistracy a fresh claim to the confidenceof the people. Tne Royal Court of Amiens last year refused to be present when the Missionaries preached ; but by a 4. cep tion worthy of the disciples of Escobar, advantage is taken of a ceremony at which the Courts have the right to be present, to set in.r.giles on foot, which the authors dare not openly sanction: The Magistrates, however, though they will not unnecessarily bring these things to the notice of the public, will not suffer them wives to be deceived, and they know how to maintain their dignity and independence. Oa their return into Court, they entered into an energetic protest against the miserable subterfuge by which it was sought to cite the refusal in question as a precedent, and to construe their conduct into a retractation of the principles promul gated a year since MALTESE PAPERS. ---r.-- I%IALTA, Jun 21. It is impossible to remain silent upon the depredations of the Greeks, whose fleet, originally equipped for the ' most sacred of purposes, seems now to be distributed far and wide in search of indiscriminate plunder. No flag is respected, no property safe from their visit—a term under which they would cover their criminal deeds, were not their rapacity too unrestrained to favour the device. The Elizabeth, Longridge, the Thempsons, of Lon don, the Briton, Chapman, the Iris, from Malta, the Tantivy, the New Thomas, the Albion, have all been bo lied within these few weeks. under this spec ce. The Madonna del Carmine, under the Eng ish flag, which sailed from this island on the 22d ult. was met four days afterwards by two Greek schooners; the crews of which to..k from her 175 salvos of %heat. It is true that they gave the master a bill on the Greek Government of Napoli di Romania, which we trust will be paid ; but they ill-treated the crew, and plundered the vessel of marry stores, and she was obliged to return to Malta, leaving the object of her voyage uneffected. The brig packet, It Wilson, which touched at this island on her return to Glasgow, was boarded in like manner on the 24th ultimo, on her voyage out to Smyrna, and plundered of 21 bales and 11 cases of British merchandise, the crew being also ill-treated and deprived of their wearing apparel.—These are facts which cannot be palliated by any the most legal right assumed by a Belligerent over a Neutral Power. We are told that there is a Prize Court sitting at Napoli di . Romania; but we do neat find that there exists any authority powerful enough to constrain the Greek cruisers to submit in all cares their seizures to its alu dication. Without inicugning the probity of its mem bers, one may be allowed, therefore, to doubt the efficacy of such an establishment. If the Government cannot controul its aimed subjects, its institutions ate very likely to be communed by their lawless desires; and it is much to be feared that even the decisions of this tribunal are more frequently influenced by the threats of the robbers themselves, than by a strict sense of justice, when not given under the superior influence and presence of a British man of war. The Com .mander of the French naval force, it appears, has de clare that he will not acknowledge its authority, u hich he has styled a system of judicial pillage; and it is asserted by the Speclaleur Oriental that his Majesty's ship Gannet has libereted two lonian vessels already condemned as prizes at Nap( li di Romania. Our naval squadron, under the orders of Captain Hamilton, is as persevering as ever in protecting the British flag ; but such is the nature of this petty war• fare, that the parties have great advantages in the Het construction of their vessels, and their intimate know. ledge of every little creek with which their islands abound. This has induced that experienced Commander to adopt a more certain mode of putting them down, by following them into their hiding places in launches, a sharp service, in which he has been most effectually seconded by the promptitude of his Officers and men. Many vessels have been burned, and others, upon which no proof of piracy was found, disarmed; and in this manner will the celebrated Greek navy, which called forth so much aamiration in the beginning of the insist rection. be gradually reduced to nothing without com miter:Woo, unless those in authority find some means of putting a certain and speedy stop to transactions which have already so deeply stained the boasted purity of their cause. By a letter from an Officer of bis Majesty's ship Rose, we leara that Captain Hamilton had extended his pro tection even to the putting on board of the Thomsen two Officers and eleven men of his own crew. It appears that this vessel had been carried into Hydra ; but at the sight of the Cambrian's broadside she was, with two others, delivered over to Captain Hamilton. Not being able to keep up with the fi igate on her way to Smyrna, the above assistance was sent to her ; and fortunately it was so, for the same night she was attempted to be i boarded by a pirate, who was so vigorously resisted
