• ,estation during the solemnity. The eausequenee Waft t'iat not only in the Greek and Armenian Churches, 3 'l Cie religious ceremonies, professions, and observ ,,„ces, were conducted with the most perfect peace an d order, but the festivities which followed were o i„leJ by the Greeki in their old style, and in the ro ,t u ninterrupted tranquillity. On the 21st of April the Patriarch was invited to e:e Palace of the Sultan. As this was the anniver ,,;,y of a lamentable event, the circumstance excited 11:ive.:sal interest. When he appeared, he was loaded vitll encomiums by one of the Ministers of the Porte, o n a ccount of some judicial decision which he had ro nounced ; and received in the name of the Sultan a:lo:her considerable donation for the repair of the ,l a maged Cathedral Church. He was afterwalds ected to produce a list of all the Sciotes then resi t in the Capital, distinguishing the married from 6:e unmarried. The former are to remain in Con stantinople, the latter are to be sent to Asia. The n ew Dragoman of the Porte, Jahia Effendi, is not a na tive of Corfu, as has been said, but of Gallipoli, and has been 30 years converted to Islamism. He is a man of 70 years of age, •and as he is believed not to be perfect master of the European languages, he is to have a secretary of the Armenian persuasion, named Seced Manasse, a person of great knowledge. Thus Jahia Effendi, although invested with the Kaf tan, is only Vice-Dragoman. This forenoon we received a German Mail, bring- Frankfort Papers to the 25th inst. The following .:re extracts: LAUSANNE. NAY io. For some time past great attention has been es ;•.;ed by the new Tariff, which is to be laid before t7C ileXt Diet. 11 it should be adopted, the Cantons trade with France will be wholly ruined; while t'a erman manufacturers, and the Cantons who carry th a direct trade with them, will be great gainers. LEIPZIC, MAT is. The Aid-de-Camp of General Normann (formerly in the service of Wurtemberg) has written a letter, t!.tted the 20th of Mitch, to a friend at Dessau, of vhich de following is an extract: .t few days after our arrival here (at Navarino), we bad an crportunity of engaging the Turks, who attacked us in our t.re:tiad fortress with 61 ships, and, by land, with the greater art of the garrison of Modon. They were, however, repulsed 1. ith I..ss ; and our friends even ascribe the happy issue to my s. lf, because I made an unexpected sally with a small party; at Last, a deputation of the Ephori has solemnly thanked me, in the name of tkeir fellow-citizens, for the service I have done. 0 An excursion on our side towards blodon is our last exploit, she‘‘ed me that they fought on both sides with great ani- Iczi:y, but without remarkable courage or knonkdge of war. lee latter cannot certainly be requited from the Greeks, as it is ...I). a year ago that they had arms in their hands, for the first me for three hundred years. This is especially the case with the Messenians, who were under the severest Turkish yoke. We made some prisoners on this occasion, who were mildly treated, and sold by public auction. On the other band, all the vounded Turks who fell into the hands of the Greeks were be in spite of all we could do to dissuade them, and the 1...ds carried in triumph from the field of battle, after the ears Leen pierced with a knife. The next morning the children :!.c streets played wit)) these heads, putting bunches Of orange .owns and flowers in the mouth, nose, and ears, and then c.:t:•irg them shout on little pikes." FRANKFORT, DINT 19. • The arrival of two Russian and one Turkish con fer, though we learnt nothing of their dispatches, renewed the reports of war, but only fora shoit time, Lecause all the accounts we received were of a pacific t!laracter, and letters from Vienna of that they ',artily think of war in that capital. For many rea sons we begin to think there will neither be a war nor au interference of the Christian Powers in the in- tcrnal concerns of Turkey ; so that it seams we have Lathing left but to wish that the Greeks may be able, without foreign aid, to free themselves from the yoke si their barbarous oppressors. The French Papers of Tuesday furnish us with the fi,ilowing extracts : PARIS, MAY 28. We (the Constitutionnel) said, the day before yes. terday, that our foreign advices were pacific. To eay the journals and letters from Germany are more :..dike than ever ; and, moreover, are confirmed by Lie reports in Paris for the last two days, in conse quence of the extraordinary arrival of a courier from l'etersburgh. The following is an extract of a letter brought by the extraordinary courier, and addressed to a ci-devant diplomatist whom we personally know : Petersburgh, May 7. " AU incertitude as to peace or war has ceased. The brothers of the Emperor, the Generals, equipages, &c. are set out these three days. 'the order t 6 advance was dispatched to the army ott the 541 of May. The Russians are intoxicated, and think the Turks will give up the provinces. The Emperor was three days slat up with M. de Tatische." 'To the foregoing details we would add, that yester day evening, in a diplomatic drawing-room, it was said, hat in the course of that day official notice if the Emperor's departure from St. Petersburgh on the 9th bad been received, and that all hopes of pcace were idle. Accounts from Madrid, by Bayonne, state that it was resolved in the Cortes to send 50,000 melt to the French frontier. Several Ministers of State are said to have sent or received notice of resignation. ODESSA, MAY s. We have news from Constantinople of the 27th of April. What we have been saying for the last year, but which has been contested by a great part of Eu rope, is confirmed more and more. The result will probably be a great Gatastrophe to the Turkish em- ..rt in or! 1.. tt 1.1 • th VV 1 1 • • 1 C I f :S r ,s he [a en ed all ch ice ra ns t• an • :at, tti- USt . , 'Pire• The Te Seethe 'Aped tit of that of Pebritaey 28.

The paid from the Treasury, during amounted to 19,094,895 dollars—, List, 1,118,483 dollars ; Miscellaneous, lars ; Foreign Intercourse, 212,4.50 Establishment, 5,163,071 dollars ; ment, 3,322,243 dollars ; Public dollars. Thus the receipts exceeded ments by nearly half a million of dollars, or about one-fortieth part of the whole. The balance remain ing in the Treasury amounts to 873,575 dollars.— The total amount of the Public Debt, on the lit of January, 1822, was 93,423,215 dollars, •iz.-6 per Cent. 1812, 8,855,981 dollars ; 7 per. Cent. ditto, 8,606,355 dollars. Estimates are made of the sup •po►ed expenditure for the years 1822, 1823, and 1824, in which an exchange of Stock, resembling our re duction of the 5 per Cents. and some plans of re trenchment, are expected to bring the expenditure within sixteen millions. The PIIZSIDENT of the United States is preparing the legal qualifications to enable him to open the ports of America to English vessels, trading between the British West India Islands and the Continent, in order to meet our ezpected permission for American vessels to enter the ports of the West India Islands. We have received another file of American Papers this morning, but not of a later date than the last. The following are extracts: The Bill which virtually acknowledges the inde pendence of the South American Nations has passed both Houses of Congress by unparalleled majorities. The President of Hayti is said to have dispatched a vessel to France to demand satisfaction for the at tack made upon &mane, and to know the views of the French Government. FROM A BALTIMORE PAPER Of THE iiTli MAT. If Spain should have any idea of going to war with the United States, she would probably tempo rize till she could endeavour to obtain an ally; and our diplematie characters would, we trust, discover if it should negociate fox any such purpose, and in form their Governrt as soon as possible. FIIIII/0111211 IN 'rm....We have seen the copy of an Order from the President of Hayti, addressed to the Proeincial Secretary of the district of _Grand Anse, St. Domingo, which directs, that every vessel wishing to depart from any of the ports of the island, must declare on oath, that no Frenchman has, directly or indirectly, any interest or concern in the vessel or cargo. The fall in the United States Bank Stock at New York, is supposed to have been occasioned by a large quantity being put into market, on which discounts had been made at the Bank, payment being required. The Nev, York Advocate says, there has not been a greater scarcity of money in that city for twelve l years; that the Banks are throwing out immense quantities of unexceptionable paper, but that the pressure is artificial; that one broker has obtained a loan of 400,000 dollars from the Banks. Saturday his MAJESTY will leave town for the Royal cottage atWi ndsor. This day several of the Royal Household domestics left town for the above place. Kew Palace, where his MAJeSTY spent the day on Wednesday, is intended for the occasional residence of our future Quzew. His Manny's New Stand on Ascot Heath Race Course has been built under the direction of Mr. NASH, and is se constructed as to enable every pa. son in it to see the horses during the whole time of running. The arrival of the Prince and Princess of DiNHARIC obliged the architect to employ an addi tional number of persons to finish the building by the 4th of June. The presence of their Royal Highnesses the Duke, and Duchess of CLARENCE, now resident at Weimer Castle, has diffused the liveliest joy and satisfaction through that vicinity. Tuesday their Royal High nesses visited the fair at Wahlerahare, (about six miles from Dover, and the same di,tance from Wal mer.) It is held annually by permission of the Earl of GUILDFORD, in his park close to his mansion, for the benefit of his servants, who are allowed to spew the house, gardens, wilderness, temple, Belvidere, tkc. 'they are very extensive. -The Duke and Duchess were often seen in the midst of the crowd; there were supposed to be 15,000 persons at the fair, and every one seemed anxious to gain a view of the Royal Personages to chew their re,pect ; they appeared de lighted with their reception, and the number who greeted them with the most unequivocal marks of loyalty, could not fail to heighten the pleasure they seemed to experience. At Asses Races, which comniki. Ms' Tuesday neit, Mr. Fears's Aids. (tit. 71b.) is matched against Mr. Wassza's Lewd Tmdd(sst.) for 200 guineas, h. tt. their Early in the evening it was understood that the Kum had been pleased to signify his intention of en• tering on the west side of the House ; in consequence, I the good people who inhabit the Arcade removed the sashed fronts from their shops, fitted them up with benches, amphitheatre-wise, and let them readily at from ten to fifteen shillings a single seat. Everything was here more select, as the multitude did not ap pear to be aware of the arrangement, and continued in the Haymarket, and the Cockspur-street end of Pall-mall, in full expectation that the Krim would enter by the same door as on Tuesday evening. At ten o'clock an escort of Lancers took up their ground in front of the Palace, and about the same time a detachment of the Grenadier Guards lined the Article from one extremity to the other. From ten till half-past ten was taken up in the arrangement of the military, and the assembling of the ComMittee within the vestibule of the Arcade entrance, for the proper reception of his MAJESTY. Field-Marshals, 'and Gold Sticks, and Silver Sticks, and &tins, and Lords of the Bedchamber, &c. &c. were continually hurrying to and fro, and a ll was brilliant confusion. At length, precisely at half-past ten, a tremendous shout, accompanied by a flourish of trumpets, pro- I claimed the approach of the Soviaition. His MA USTI left the Palace in a carriage drawn by two Imam-coloured horses, .and having alighted at the end of the Arcade, advanced along it on foot with his Royal Highness the Duke of YRRK on his left, and the Duke of Davonsutaa on his right, sur rounded by the Great Officers of State, and preceded by the Yeomen of the Guard. His MAJESTY was conducted to the Royal box by the Duke of MON TROSE, the Lord Chamberlain, and the Duke of Ds- VONSHIR4 and was followed by their Royal High. nesses the Duke of YORK ' Princess AuousrA, Prin cess SOPKIA, the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER, and the Prince and Princess of DZNUARK. His MAJZSTY wore a full dress military uniform of scarlet and gold. His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK and the Duke of Devonsoins appeared in the same splendid costume. The KING appeared in the enjoyment of full health, and highly delighted with the scene around him. On his MAJESTY entering, the bands played " GOD save the King," the company standing up; after which they played the much-admired tune of " Patrick's Day in the Morning." His MAJESTY stood the whole time, and in viewing the immense assemblage of per sons present, seemed highly gratified, and kept con versing alternately *ith the Illustrious Personages on his right and left; and, when seated, her Royal High ness the Princess of DENMARK sat on his left and his Royal Highness the Prince of DENMARK on his right, together with his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, and the other branches of the Royal Family. Their Highnesses Prince and Princess ESTERHAZY were on the left of the Princess of DENMARK, in another seat, which was only divided by a curtain, which his MA JESTY caused to be withdrawn, and conversed with their Highnesses. Five different bands were in at tendance : the bands of the 2d Regiment of Life' Guards, the Ist Foot Guards, and Coldstream, in their full uniforms. Messrs. COLLINET, MICHALT, and MUSARDS', and Mrs PAYNE'S band; the whole placed in different parts of the House. - It is impossible to conceive anything so splendid as the coup deal which the Ball-room, it such it may be called, presented at twelve o'clock. The stage and pit exhibited such a gay and orderly crowd as was perhaps never before brought together. A Part of the floor immediately before his MAJESTY was corded for the dancers. With such musk, beauty, splendour, and rank, one might suppose himself transported into one of those scenes of enchantment described in the Arabian Nights. The Ladies, corn posing the majority of the company, were dressed in robes of white, tastefully adorned with shamrock ; head-dress, feathers and diamonds. It would be un fair to point out any particular individual; youthful and lovely, they appeared like angels assembled to relieve the sorrows of an afflicted people— ,. Forms such as Nature moulds when she would vie With Fancy's pencil, and give birth to thing Lovely bey o its fairest picturing' r' Long may they preserve their beauty unimpaired, and lung may they cherish the more valuable quali ties of the heart, which prompted them to press for ward on this occasion, at once to aid and to adorn the heavenly cause of charity! Among the distinguished persons of the other sex were most of the foreign Ambassadors, and some of the Cabinet Ministers. The Marquis of LONDON DERRY was most superbly dressed. In the course of the night his MAJESTY visited several of the Nobi lity and Gentry in their different boxes. His Misserry appeared in spirits, and did not quit the gay scene till two o'clock. The Theatre was not en tirely cleared till seven this morning. ....ocularly on last Sunday (a dreadfully wet day) ? being without a turf, and destitute of either meal or 4 potatoe r NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Extract from the Bengal Guars of the 10th January, 111112 i —" Maosaa.—The Commodore Hayes is the only one of oar homeward-bound vessels that has just come in. Several of these we have before enumerated are daily expected, but the difficulty of procuring any kind of freight et the port of Calcutta has so greatly increased, that considerable delay may perhaps be cape rienced in the dispatch of some of them. Freight to England is now down to £3. 10s. per ton, which we believe is lower than at any former period since the opeqing of the trade; the come' quences must loiteatinosts to the shipping interests, if this depre ciation condoms., The East India Company's outward-bound ships Bucking hamshire and Castle Huntly, were all well on the 13th of April.

We sent 27 men out of 50 into hospital in two days; two men died the same evening si the Major. We had no sickneis on board after leaving An tigua, having disembarked all the soldiers there, and put them under canvass; left Antigua on the 12th, and beard of no other deaths. We are all well, and the garrison healthy at St. Kites." Extract of a letter dated Kingston, April 12 : " You heard lately that the coasts of the Spanish Main were blockaded by the Spaniards; but the Patriots have now gained the ascendancy at sea, and have established a blockade in their turn. What is better is, that theirs is a real and not a paper blockade ; and our Admiral has given notice to the Royalists that he will not sanction any blockade of the Inner description." A private letter, dated Santa Fe, March 12, states, thaithe three Spanish frigates which have been cruising many months off the coast, and for whose capture Lord COCHRANE had so strenuously exerted himself, have surrendered to the Patriotic Government. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY yesterday enter tained a large and distinguished party at Lambeth Palace.
