The Austrian Observer to the 10th instant contains no further news from Turkey. The Nuremburg Correspondent of the 14th inst. contradicts most positively the reports of the bad faith and cruelty of the Greeks at the •taking of Trippolizza. The following are extracts : NUREMI3URG, SEPTEWIER 13. Greek Commissioners, men of good education,who havestu died in LiermanUniversities, have lately passed through Frankfort, with the intention of visiting the various societies established for the assistance of the Greeks, and suggesting the most suitable measures to be taken. One of these men was present at the taking of Trippolizza, respectingwhich some journals have represented the conduct of the Greeks in such odious colours. He affirmed, upon his honour, that it was not the Greeks who broke the capitulation, but the perfidious Turks themselves, who, some time after the Greeks bad entered, suddenly commenced a terrible fire upon'them from the houses, so that five or 600 of them were killed in the streets, which naturally excited the fury cf the Greek soldiers to the highest degree, so that they took sanguinary, but just vengeance. Besides the large contributions in money (in which latterly some persons have joined) and of arms, many high-minded men have lately come forward to dedicate their services to the Greeks: not actuated by an ignoble desire of gain, but by the wish to assist in delivering their Christian brethren front the yoke of barbarism. SOLINGEN. Several Public Papers have reported that the Stu dents of the University of Marburg have ordered blades (probably foils) without the word Prince, from which an inference has been drawn that revolutionary views were connected with this order. No blades have ever been ordered here directly for Students at Marburg. Formerly the words " For Prince and Country" were inscribed on many blades. In Com missions for Switzerland and America, a wish may have been expressed to omit those words on the blades to be sent there, as not suitable. At first a report was spread that above 1000 blades, with the motto of the General Association of the Students, " Honour, Li berty, and Country," had been sold to several Ger man Universities, especially Halle. From the strict est investigation, k appears that three such blades had been sent in commission (not bespoke) to Bonn.— They were old sword-blades, such as the French Offi cers wore before the Revolution, and the cutler had put that inscription on them. But who is it that takes pleasure in spreading such false reports? What can be his object? Should we not rather rejoice at the good moral conduct of our youth at the Universities? Is it not contemptible, is it not criminal to accuse them of illegal proceedings which they never thought of? Is not this youth the flower of our country, our blood, our hope? If it is everywhere treated with the love which is its due, it will bring back of itself to the right path the few individuals of its body who have gone astray, and reject from it the infected. STOCKHOLM, SEPTEMBER 14. The marriage contract between his Royal High ness Prince Oscar and the eldest daughter of the Duke of Leuchtenberg, was signed yesterday by the King in Council. The marriage is to be celebrated in June neat. VIENNA, Sias. o.—Metalliques, Sq.—Sank Skarn, 064 5-10. The French Papers of Thursday and Friday have reached us; but their contents are not of much im portance. The Duke of WELLINGTON arrived in Paris on Thursday, at one o'clock, having landed at Calais the preceding afternoon. The Court of Cassatiun has rejected the appeal of the four yoe.ths sentenced to capital punishment for participating in the Rochelle conspiracy. A telegraphic dispatch has been received at Paris, announcing that the trial of CARON and Roo', for an attempt to seduce the military from their duty and fidelity, bad commenced at Strasburg on Wed nesday last. M. BENJAMIN CONSTANT, on arriving from the country on Thursday, had scarcely alighted from his carriage when a Commissary of Police came to his house, to seize whatever copies might be there of the Letter to the, Procureur•General of Poitiers. it is stated that M. BENJAMIN CONSTANT has protested against this proceeding. Some of the French Ministerial Papers deny the existence of the great military . preparations said to bimakint at Bayonne and Its vicinity, and assert that the troops now hi motion direct their march to the East, and not towards the South. These Papers contain some furtherintelligencefrom e - frontiers of Spain. It is stated that.the Madrid courier of the 9th had been stopped near Burgos, by the insurgents, who burnt the letters andthetarriage in which they were tonveyed. An account is given of the defeat of QUESADA, and other Royalist leaders, in an affair previous to that of the 7th, mentioned in our last. This action, which took place at Bolea on the sd, is described in a dispatch addressed by the Colonel of the Regiment of the Asturias to the Gep neral commanding at Saragossa. The Constitution alists carried the village of Bolea by the bayonet, and took four pieces of mountain artillery, a great quan .tity of small arms and ammunition, three standards, and 41 the cskyespondence of QUESADA witllEautA. A letter slated Villa Franca, thellth, announces the def( teat and dispersion of the insurgent band of Za balk by Colonel GAISPARJAUREGUT. A Paper published at Barcelona contains the details of a Royalist conspiracy discovered in that city, and a list of the names of 50 persons who are stated to have been arrested on the night of the sth, and trans ported to Minorca. They are chiefly Priests,Generals, 'and retired Officers. ._...__ _ It is said that the Court of Dresden has sent in structions to the saxon Charge d'Affaires in Madrid, to endeavour, by applications to the Spanish Minis ters and the permahent Deputation of the Cortes, to bring about an arrangement by which the Queen of SPA IN might be permitted to return to her own coun try for the restoration of health. • The accounts from Greece are rather favourable than otherwise, since they explain, and that satisfac torily, the reason why the Greek Senate has been for the present dissolved. The following are extracts: ZANTV, AUGUST 19. Accounts from the Morea explain the dissolution of the Senate of Argos in the following manner. As soon as the Ottoman army entered the Peninsula, all the Greek Chiefs felt the necessity of appointing a Dictatorship. The choice lay between Colocotroni and Demetrius Ypsilanti, but the former prevailed, and was unanimously proclaimed Dictator. The Members of the Senate (some of whom incline to England, and have come to Zante) immediately sub mitted to the new Chief. Colocotroni gave the com mand of the corps before Patras to Logotheti, whom the Turkish accounts had sent in chains to Ypsara. Colocotroni defeated the Ottoman army, which bad penetrated into the Morea, and annihilated a corps of 8000 men. The same accounts state that Odysseus surrendered the Pass of Thermopylae to Chourschid Pacha for 800,000 piastres, but that he afterwards re commenced hostilities against the Turks. SE MLIN, SEPTEMBER 3. The Turks of Belgrade continue to announce'vic tories, and to regard the conquest of the Morea as certain. The Greeks have, however, somewhat reco vered their courage since the arrival of the regular post from Belgrade with letters from Salonica of the 16th, and from Seres of the 19th. All these letters announce victories obtained by the Greeks. They assert that Chourschid Pacha had seen defeated, and that it was in consequence of his defeat that he re turned to Larissa, on the 6th of August, with 5000 men ; and that he made a third appeal to the Mus sulmans, which nobody obeyed. The same letters further state, that Omar Uniota has sustained a check near Janina ; but most of the letters only venture to speak of these defeats in an allegorical style ; and I can only pledge myself for the authenticity of the copies. It appears that both parties claim the victory. We must wait for the next courier from Constantinople. Besides this intelligence, which is gratifying so far as it extends, an article of the 7th instant, from Leghorn, states that a second American squadron was expected in the Mediterranean, and that the important negotiations opened some months since between accredited agents from the United States and the Greek Government were terminated. What ever aid the Americans may have engaged to give the Greeks, we trust that it will not be delayed.— The appearance of a single ally to their cause at a moment like the present, even though, to the dis grace of Europe, that ally should rise on the distant soil of the New World, would prove decisive of the contest.

FROM Tin COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER OF AUGCST 19. ST. SALVADOR. A letter received at Salem from St. Salvador, dated the 24th of June, states the enmity there between the European and Brazilian Portuguese to be so great,that open hostilities were expected to break out. Ten of the Brazilians were murdered in ene night. Business is uncommonly dull throughout the Brazils. A post script to the letter states, that news had just been re ceived, that Pernambuco had declared for the Prince, and thrown off the yoke of the native country. REPUBLIC OF COLOMBIA. By the Endymion, which left Laguira on the Ist instant, we learn that the Patriot squadron which was employed in the.blockade of Porto Cabello, had ar, rived at the former place, having found a neccssary to raise the siege in consequence of the prevalence of the malignant fever, which carried or SIM ISO per sons daily. We have nothing additionld by this ton- • veyance respecting the Royalist General Morales and the fleet of Spanish vessels which recently left Curse you for Porto Cabello. A ship and armed brig, for merly in the British service, were hourly expected at Laguira from England, combletely manned and equipped, and a frigate of 44 guns, from the same place, was looked for in a few months. Generals Soublette and Bolivar were expected on their return to Caraccas, when measures would be taken to crush the remaining small force of Spain by pushing the siege of Porto Cabello with vigour. A private letter of the Ist instant states, that Porto Cabello is sup posed to be on the eve of capitulation. Accounts from Maracaibo, of the 28th July, state that the Patriots do not appear to bale known what had become of Morales. After the great boaster had effected his escape, the whole of his papers fell into the hands of an English Officer, who delivered them to the Patriot General Soublette. Extract of a private letter from New York, dated the 21st August, received this morning :--ic Business is completely at a stand. The appearance of the yel low fever has caused a suspension of all , traffic ; and I feel fearful the present extreme warm weather will cause that dreadful malady to spread ; if so, it will cause much trouble in our commercial concern s ." - I NEW YORK, AUGUST 17. The second Court of Magistrates and Freeholders, formed for the trial of certain slaves and other blacks accused of an attempt to excite an insurrection in South Carolina, closed its sitting at Charleston, "on the Bth inst. having disposed of all the cases which remained for trial. William Garner, the slave of Mrs. Garner, was found guilty and received sentence of death. Eight other slaves were found guilty and sentenced to transportation. Two free negroes, and five slaves, were found not guilty and discharged.— ' William Garner, and Weliain, slave of Mr. Palmer, were to be bung on the morning of the 9th. The Floridian, of the 20th ult. states, that a part of the Legislative Council, in going round from St. Augustine to Pensacola, were wrecked on Ship Island, but fortunately the passengers all got safely on shore. William Crawford, a wealthy farmer of Fallow field township (Penn.) has been comtnitted to jail for the murder of his son. This horrid deed had its origin in some dispute between the father and the mother oC the victim. PROM TM! COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER OP AtIODST 19. SOUTH AmanrcA.---Our attentive Correspondent, under date of Norfolk, August 15, writes as follows: " The United States corvette John Adams dropped down into Hampton Roads yesterday morning, and would have proceeded direct to sea had the wind per mitted : she is probably under weigh before now. - I understand her destination is first for Vera Cruz, then Carthagena, and afterwards on a cruizk._ Colo nel Charles S. Todd, accompanied by his friend and connection Mr. Richard Adams, have taken passage in her. Colonel Todd goes out as Charge d'Affaires for the United States to the Government of the Co. lumbian Republic. He will be landed probably at Carthagena, or at Lagnira, and then proceed to Santa Fe, the capital of the Republic." A Correspondent informs us that during the last week his MAJESTY has been visited by a serious ner vous affection, attended by an unusual depression of spirits. The conflicting discussions which have re cently been agitated, and the concessions, consequent on these discussions, may in part account for this in disposition. Now that these state affairs are for the present arranged, his MAJESTY will probably adjourn either to his cottage at Windsor, or to the Pavilion at Brighton, in order to renovate his health, and with draw himself for a time from these toilsome and agi tating state matters, and enjoy the society of his chosen friends.—Morning Chronicle. The charges for one of the steam boats which ac companied his MAJESTY to Scotland, amount to £4300. The public are not aware of the narrow escape which his MAJESTY had in returning from Scotland. The royal yacht grounded off Orfordness, to the great dismay of all on board. Fortunately it was soon got off. The pilot, through whose igno rance or inattention this accident happened, has in consequence received no allowance for the time he was engaged. - - - - It has been stated to us, on authority to which we attach the fullest credit, hat several Noblemen and Gentlemen, of high rank and property in the country, have come forward, with an offer to Government, to fill, gratuitously, certain offices to which large salaries are at present attached. Besides the great saving which would thus be effected, there is no doubt that the business would be much better done. The Duke of LEINSTER, Marquis of DOWNSHIRE, Earls of CHAR LE MONT, MEATH, LEITRIM, MOVNT•CASH EL, CARRICK, BELMORE, Lords CLONCORRY and Lasmortz, Mr. GRATTAN, and others, have- already joined, we are ' informed, in this patriotic offer. The duties of Post m asters-General,Commissioners of Inland Navigation, Revenue, Stamps, and those of all other situations where superintendence alone is necessary, may be discharged by these truly patriotic and noble persons.—Dublin Morning Post. An exquisite of the first water, at Brighton, was last week applied to, by an urchin on the Steyne, to read for him the inscription on the collar of a stray dog which he had found, in order that he might get something by restoring it to its owner. More good natured than many of his class, he read (tolerably well considering) the following lines: Steal me not ! myself and collar Both are barely worth a dollar; Puppies should befriend each Lather: See me home, then, deaseat brother ! He put down the dog, and departed in high dudgeon. rms ARAM •••••=ioll A entire-Media was bell ea esiteday. le the osoralpliosois Sc. lanes's, oa Corporal (Same, at the td, or Gildsman RN* atone of Guards, jar perjury, in his evidence en the Cestaohlsee dal b id ea Colonel Goan, of the same Regbasat,aleve dale ay, It is undentood that, *mad Ilestenam-Genend Lord Cow oteanan„ G.C.B. *W niespating the eammewth-Lieemerbab General Sir T.

The first is, that Lord WIL LIAM BENTINCK has been named to that high ofiiee. Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK is connected with Mr. CANNING through his brother the Duke of PonTLA Nu, who married the elder Miss Scrim, as that Right Hon. Gentleman did the younger. Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK has been distinguished, as a soldier, fiic cool and consummate intrepidity. As a man, both in public and private life, hii Lordship is considered to be of a direct and upright character. The subject of the second report is Lord AMHERST, an ex.ambas sador to China, and since a Lord of the Bedchamber. Between the two, however, the balance is said to in cline to Lord WILLtAx BENTINCK; but we have some doubts of his accepting the appointment, as the state of his health is such as to render a residence in the East Indies a very hazardous experiment. The Duke of MANCHESTER is expected to sail on the 25th inst. in the ACTIVE frigate, for Jamaica. It is understood that his Excellency is anxious to reach the seat of his Government previous to the meeting of the House of Assembly, as he has to propose (on the suggestion of Government), that the troops em ployed for the defence and preservation of the island shall be in future paid out of its revenuls, and not by the Government. If this reasonable proposition ionid be carried into effect in all our Colonies, the country would be relieved from a heavy burden at the present moment. Mr. HUME (it may be recollected)'has promised to submit it to Parliament early in the next Session. The Duke of Sussex, while on a visit at Cantley, the scat of M. A. TAYLOR, Esq. received an Address from the Corporation of Doncaster, and the Freedom of the Corporation. On Tuesday last the Deputa tion, consisting of the Mayor, EDWARD Cookin, Esq. GEORGE WALKER and JOHN PEARsoN, Mgrs. two of the Magistrates of the Borough, ll'lLLime HAIGH, JOHN SHEPHERD, and JAMES FALCONER, Esqrs. three of the senior Common Council, in their robes, attended by the mace-bearer and two serjeants at mace, arrived at Cantley about 12 o'clock. The freedom of the Borough was presented with a meat gold box of the value of fifty guineas. The ground latery occupied at Privy-gardens by the mansion of the Duke of RICHMOND, being totally clear, a terrace on a very grand scale is forming ; tt will be somewhat similar to Whitehall-place. 1 !I ii Net tot the' fro }I , an , Su El sei 111 tc b 4
