A letter from Trieste of the 2,1 of July, in the Augs• burgh Journal, contains the following particulars : The new Government seems to display in its mea sores more energy than the preceding: 110 Hydriot aid Speziut vessels, of which 40 are fireships, ate in the port, waiting for the arrival of Lord Cochrane. Lord Gordon had arrived, and announced to the people, who were intoxicated with joy, the speedy arrival of the Eng lish Admiral: Ibrahim is in want of provisions and ammunition.—Ftoite. Vice-Admiral Margo's eaulucci, who commands the Austrian squadron in the Levant, sent to his Court for fresh instructions immediately on learning the-expected arrival of Lord Cochr ne in these seas. The Greeks have fortified Napoli di Romania in a formidable man ner, and several vessels with ammunition, rent by Lord Cochrane, have already arrived.—Pilote, July 14. LOUD CeCli RA N E.—The Gazette de Lyons asserts, on the ant! ority of its Brazilian correspondent, that the Emperor, Don Pedro, has written to Lord Cochrane, and has given orders to the Finance Minister to satisfy his claims. It adds, that his Imperial Majesty has also addressed a letter to Lady Cochrane. The French Jour ,- nalirts suggest that the object of this was to prevent Lord Cochrane from joining the Greeks.

JuNit By the extraordinary activity of our Governor, General Pierce Golyhen, the remaining traces of the burning of our city are daily disappearing. Round the greater part of the Kremlin, where booths formerly stood, and heaps of lime and stones were lying, there is now a beautiful part, which serves as .a public promenade. Boule vards are made, and planted with trees, in many parts of the city; fine houses and noble palaces are rising on all sides. A man of the name of Gulzow, died lately at the harbour of St Peter and St. Paul, in Kamtscharlia, at the age of IS3 years.

St. Swithin shewed himself to us yesterday with a gay countenance, bat he frequently shed tears In the course of the day. The superstitious in consequence gloomily anticipate that, at least, we shall have no occasion for our water carts during the ensuing. forty days. The Duke and Duchess of Melanin's are arrived, and the ARGYLL family is expected to be with us in a few days. Lord GROTLEY is returned to the Royal York Hotel*, together with Mr. On:mamas., 11.

The crops in England I found white, and burned up, but every thing here is perfectly green. As one proof of the value of crops in Lanarkshire, Scotland, not withstanding the great pressere of the times, some fields of grass on the property of Mr. Rae Wilson. of Kelvinbauk, were this week sold by roup so high as•lsl. per acre. The Country Palace, formerly of the Archbishop of Glasgow, and in which thiunfortunate Mary Queen of Scots and Oliver Cromwell resided, situated in Saltmatket-street, Glasgow, was last week de molished, to make way for new buildings.

RURAL FETE AT CORFU. CORFU, June 10. Thursday, the eth of June, was the dasr of the fete called Jagis dell sfseensione, which is celebrated every year in this island, on the bill of the same name, a few miles from this city. It is well known that this is the finest fete of the kind in all Corfu, from the concourse of people, almost the whole population, lacking to that pleasant spot; where numerous tents are erected, and the country people from all the neighbouring villages resort thither in their holiday dresses.—The dancing, singing, and military and ether music, and the cheerful countenances of the people, make a most interesting scene—the effect of which is heightened by the plc'. turesque view of the hills, covered with olives, and the line prospect of the sea. The weather not being very favourable, the necessary preparations could not all be made, so that the fete was not so brilliant as it would have been. However, the concourse of people of all ranks was much greater than could have been expected. His Excellency the Rural High Commissioner, pro terapare,gave an entertainment, to which many persons of distinction were invited, and which afforded an agreeable sight, on account of the various costumes, in the fashion of the coun try, worn by some Ladies, especially Lady Emily Ponsonby and Lady Augusta Fitzclarence l who wore the elegant costume of coun trywomen of Potamo.—Miken Gwent. The Duke of Yonz,weare extremely happy to say, is so much reecteered that it is now only necessary for Dr. P.PGatoort. Physician in Ordinary to his Royal Highness, to attend the Royer Duke daily. On Saturday. Sir Hamm Retreao and Dr. Wens= attended the Royal Duke, and had a consultation with • De: Nl‘Gatoott, when they had the pleasure of finding their Royal patient in the most flattering state towards perfect recovery ; so much so that Sir HURT Hetroan had no difiluity in taking Ms leave of his Royal Highness, on his departure from London for a short time. On Sunday, his Royal Highness rode out on horse back. Yesterday, the Royal Duke received Sir Huila: Tarim' to transact Military business. . The Princess AUGUSTA was much better yesterday. The Duke of Sooty and the Princess Sornia Malts.nA visited the Princess on Sunday. The Duchess of Gsouceersa visited her Royal Highness yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. Secretary CANNING and the Marquis and Marchioness of Ccenascenne, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Mamas'', on Tuesday visited Hastings and Its environs, and honoured the Chief Magistrate, Paaosotacz NORTH, ES44. and his Lady, with a call, at their residence in Wellington-square. Mr. Secretary CANNING arrived in town yesterday morning from Combo Wood, the seat of the Earl of Lresaroot... The Foreign Office was in a considerable bustle on Satuday, in starting off three of the King's Messengers to foreign journies, by order of Mr. Secretary CANNING. In addition to the two Messengers whose departure for abroad we noticed yesterday, Mr. Knees was also sent off about nine o'clock on Saturday night. The three Messengers were the bearers of dispatches to the British Ambassadors at St. Petersbure. Vienna, and Madrid. Wedne-day, the 12th instant, being the birth-day of his Grace the Doke of Rossuarnr, who then entered into his eleventh year, was observed here with the usual marks of attach ment to the family. In the morning the Union Jack was hoisted on the Abbey; in the afternoon a bonfire was lighted in the market place, and at four &clock Bailie Bauer, with a numerous party of our townsmen, dined in the Cross Keys Inn, and spent the evening with that hilarity which the happy occasion naturally produced.

They yesterday morning decided upell three more stations for establishing Branch Banks, viz. at Swansea, Birmingham, and Manchester. DOVER, JULY I6.—The brig. Waterloo, from the West Indies, pasted yesterday, and landed a number of passengers from Jamaica. Several other homeward hound West Indiamen also passed in the course of the day. Yesterday arrived the Royal George, new steam vessel, with passengers from Boulogne; she performed the passage in little better than three hours.

It is not gene rally known that his MAJESTY is the Master of this Company. His bust, beautifully executed by CHAN TSEY, is placed (by his gracious permission) in the great Hall. It will be most sumptuous, as the magni ficence with which the Goldsmiths conduct their enter tainments is proverbial. and will constitute one of those interesting scenes which the City can occasionally boast of—the Nobles of the Land meeting at the cor.vivial board the merchant and respectable tradesman.

The Eden, 24, Captain John Lavvrence, C.B. is arrived at Ports mouth, from the West 11.dia station, last from Malta, where she landed Comnths'oner Ross and family. She left that island on the 15th of May, and Gibraltar the 13th bf June; the surveying ship Mastiff, Captain Copeland, was the only ship in the Bay. The in. telligence by her from Malta, is not so recent as that contained in Newspapers. From Spain there is no particular news. The whole , province of Andalusia was quiet, the corn and vine crops most abort , dant in that district. and generally throughout the country. The Algerines were particularly quiet; they do not now molest the ships of any nation whatever. The American squadron was in the Ar chipelago. His Majesty's ship Alacrity, Capt. George J. Hope Johnstone, is arrived at Portsmouth front Naples, whence she sailed on the 22d May,. bringing dispatches from Admiral Sir Harry Neale, who was about to sail in the Revenge for Athens.

She left the Mastiff at Gibraltar ; Captain Copeland having completed the survey of both skies of the Straits of Gibraltar, and of the-harbour of Ceseta, would shortly sail for Malta, and eventually to the Archipelago Islands, to survey them. The Alacrity has sailed for Woolwich, to be paid off.

From the carpenter of this vessel, who landed at Brighton on Monday from Calais, we have obtained the following particulars of this melancholy affair s—The Maria, of Liverpool, PllOl/011T, mas ter, belonging to Sir W. BA arms, was of 350 tons burthen, on her return from the Rio de la Plate, with a cargo of tallow and hides, for London ; the crew, consisting of 14, and 23 women and did. dren passengers. When about midnight on Sunday, the lath ult. being then three leagues on this side the Needles, and the •Isle of Wight in sight, she sprung a leak, supposed by the starting of a l plank, as the weather was very moderate; and at eleven o'clock the carptnter bad sounded, and found only four inches water in the bold; at twelve, thinking the ship dragged heavily through the sea, he sounded again, and found nearly four feet and a ?ff. The crew were instantly summoned to the pumps; bat be at'', they were Effectively at work, or any thing could be given to the unfortunate passengers, who were below, the brig went down, with the whole, 43 in number ; but the carpenter and cook (a black) succeeded in supporting themselves in the water, the former by a hen•coop, and the latter by a spar. In this situation they re mained upwards of 46 hours, when they were pitted up by a French chasse maree, and carried into Calais. The Captain was a man much beloved by his crew, and has left a wife and nine chil dren to lament his loss. The women and children were supposed to have been the families of soldiers, and were put on board the Maria by the British Consul at Buenos Ayres. The Amos, Bowman, from Liverpool to Quebec, foundered on the Bth in t. in lat. 46. long. 26. Crew saved.

The wind shifted last night, when the whole of the outward bound sailed, with the Lady Hennaway, SIIIITLIN, for India; and Mary, Fattousou, for St. John's (N. 8.) COUNTY COURT TOR MIDIOLSSEZ.—An application was made by the female singers of the King's Theatre to recover one pound each for having sung for Signor Velluti at his benefit. This application was grounded on a letter written by the Signor to Mr. Rubbi, master of the Chorus Singers, promising them one pound each if they performed their parts well. On the letter being produced, the offer was found to apply to the male singers only. the Ladies not being even mentioned.— The Learned Judge, Mr. Dubois, however, decided that the Ladies having performed the labour were entitled *) the reward. It was then stated on the part of Signor ' Velluti that it was not the consideration of the money, but the manner in which it had been demanded, which had induced him to resist the demand. Mr. Dubois said he consideret this a trumpery defence. The other plaintiffs were burdened with compliments as to their general treatment. It appears, that according to the system of the large Theatres, of screwing down the salaries of the minor perfor mers, in order to give enormous Sums to the principals, the cbnris ters had been paid during the first part of the season at Ss. W. per night, os II& 7d. per week, out of which they had to buy shoes, gloves, and flowers, adapted to the costume of the various chtrac ter. ; ;bey had for some months to attend rehearsals every day, half. past nine to five; on some days dress was to be found them, but was often neglected, and they mere seen performing the characters of Grecian virgins in the dresses of Spanish peasants, Bcc.; and pet ticoats of such extraordinary brevity, that they might have been mistaken for kilts, were sent down to them from the wardrobe. In the course of the season Signor Velluti interceded for the gentle• , men, and obtained an advance of their salary to 15s. per night. The "ladies struck—P.ladame Pasta interceded for them—and obtained the enormous advance of Is. 20., making altogether 7s. per night. Of course this was not matter with which this Court, though it possesses, as the learned Judge stated in the course of the cause, an equitable jurisdiction, could have interfered in any way. The ladies retired, rejoicing in their success. LOWTHER BILLS. —One innkeeper's account at Ap- plehy has made its appearance to the tune of four thou sand pounds: one item stands thus—" To 4,000 dinners, at 45., 4001.!" Between seven and eight pipes of wine were drank, besides claret and spirits. Oire small kin between Appleby and Kendal, opened, as Vte yellMws say, " merely for Tooke, s in," rail tip a bill for 5001. The contest has cost the L , wrwens 50,0001. trIE MANUFACTURING MIDDLETON, Jurr 11. About twelve o'clock last night the inhabitants of this place were surprised by . the sudden appearance of 200 or 250 men, armed with sticks and bludgeons. At the time of their arrival every thing was going on as usual in the place—shops and public hi,u•es were open, and people were looking after their ordinary concerns. But the unexpected appearance of these strangers caused an instant change in the appearance of things—every body was filled with amazement or alarm. The rioters came from towards Manchester, and halted in the marker-place. Some of them were heard to say—" Here are shops, we can help ourselves to provisions; and here are shoes, we can each get a pair? They came in military array, and h +lced ro their ranks at the wordof command. By their speech, their leaders were known to be lri3h. 0.,e men spoke aloud and said, " If any -honest man is prepared with arms, and disposed to join us, he will be made wet come"—but nabody came out—not one inhabitant of Middleton joined them. Presently a noise was heard, and a cry that the soldiers were coming. Some thee left their ranks, but the main body passed up Wend.. ;street, and retreated across a place called Archer-park, and the Great-park, into the old road to Menchester,hy which route they t seeped. The military, a part of the Queen's Bays, now made their appearance, accompanied by Messrs. Norris and Foster, magistrate,, the Bo ronghreeve of Manchester. and several constables ; and had it not been for t' , eir timely arrival, there is every reason to believe that the work of plunder would have 'consmenced. Nothing, however, was now left for them to do but to look atter odd stea.sglees, two of whom were taken and conveyed to Manchester, having con fessed they came with the mob. Three others were taken this morning by a watchman; and one is now in the dungeon here—he is a young man, poor, emaciated in appearance. He says he was in St. George's mad when the mob came up, and he was compelled by them to tall into the ranks, and come with th, m to Middleton:. After the retreat of the rioters, the soldiers paraded the streets and lanes, and were received at several places with hootings and shouting, and other mar ks of disap probation, but no stones were thrown. nor any violence offered. At one time the soldiers took two young men into custody, belonging to the town. Whilst searching them, one of the lads cried our, " I ha but three•hapence, an yo munna tak " No, no," replied the soldiers . , "we won't take your money, my lad, we would muds rather give you some." The general appearance of the rioters was meagre, and they seemed to have but little order amongst them. One was heard to say he'd bed--ed if he went any further. there were so many masters to please. They were, no doubt, some of the most destitut, , and, conse quently, the most desperate of the community : a few who were starved out of their miserable. habitations. MANCHESTER, Jinx :c. Last night a meeting of several thousands of the working classes took place near Ancoats-street, at one of the outskirts of the town. The object of it seemed to be, how to remove their present distresses. T.:e crowd was harangued by several speakers —one, parli cularly, dressed in a blue frock coat. There was so ne thing said about the Middleton people and their dele gates, and abort taking up arms, and e'selivering them selves from present difficulties. Ac this period, three persons made their appearance, and stated that the Middleton people were armed and ready to come out. It was then resolved to march to Middleton forthwith, and join the body there. They.accordingly set off for that place, but were quickly followed by the soldiers and several Magistrates, who dispersed them, and took a number of prisoners.—A posting bill, at which the following is a copy, is here circulated: PUBLIC NOTICE We, the undersigned Magistrates for the county of Lancaster, have observed, with great regret, that certain evil-disposed person., strangers in Manchester, have, within the last few days, been endeavouring to melte the peaceable and well.disposed inhabitants, by inflammatory language and addresses, to acts of outrage and insubordination ; and in furtherance of their wicked object, have given notices of public meetings to be held in the evenings of several days in the present week, at which such strangers have been the principal speakers, and the meetings have been protracted to late hours of the night ; Now, we do hereby declare our opinion, that all such meetings are illegal, as basing a manifest and direct tendency to a breach of the peace, which it is our duty to protect. We, therefore, caution all persons not to attend any such meet ings, nor in any respect to be induced, by the wicked and mis chievous, to engage in proceedings which must bring upon them all the consequences attending such illegal conduct.

On the 18th of April, 1826, his Majesty's ship MAID STONE, Commodore Bullen, C.B. succeeded in captur ing. after a short chase, the fine armed brig Perpetuo Defensor, of Rio de Janeiro, under Brazilian colours, with a cargo of 424 slaves, making a total of 1181 human beings that this highly respected naval character has been personally instrumental in liberating, within the short space of nineteen months, independent of having detained, during that period, three Dutch vessels with valuable cargoes, for breaches of the treaty of the Netherlands for the prevention of the illicit traffic in slaves. A short time after detention, the gratings ot the slave room were removed for the purpose of getting the slaves on deck, in order to ascertain the exact number ca board ; and the extent of human misery then evinced by these unfortunate wretches is almost beyond descriptie••• The whole were confined in a most crowded state belox, and many in irons: these latter %ere released as soon .s they could begot at. The stench emitting ftom the slioe deck, a height of three feet; was horrible in the extreme: and so truly barbarous are these dealers in human fled.. that several, who were confined at the faraher end of the room, were literally obliged to be dragged on deck by their arms and legs, in almost a lifeless state, and wasted away to mere skeletons, never having been rermitt .
