The Constitutiousel publishes some accounts from Greece of a very favourable complexion to the cause of the Insurgents There is a fragment of an Address from GERMANO, Archbishop of Achaia, dated Calavryta, 2d July, announcing that the whole of Pcloponnesus is in the hands of the Greeks. Lala Dimitzana, Caritene Phanari, Tripolitza, Calavryta, Vostitza Monembasia, are free under the colours of the Cross. Seven hundred and twenty-four villages are besides liberated from the Turkish yoke, who, • shut up in the foitiesses, must, it is said, be soon starved into surrender. An article dated Cephalo nia, 19th July, repeats the statement of a victory having been gained over the Tui kish fleet, and men tions, as a report, that an insurrection had broken cut in Cypi us, in which the Turks had had the worst. A letter from Palermo states, that the Sicilian Go vernment has concluded an agreement with MM. ECTIISCIITID and AGERNIAN for the loan of a thou sand ounces of gold. The conditions are the same as those stieulated for the loan of ten !Italians, pre viously effected by the Neapolitan Government. Letters from Naples mention, that a resolution has bec.i at last taken to exile a certain number of per sons who took a mere or less dstinguished part in the Revolution. The list will, it is said, ex tend to about ninety persons, including POERIO, 80-, ARCOVITO, PLTRONELLI, &c. Liberty will 1•c given to them to reside either in Austria, in Prus sa, cc in Russia. The 'Aurae/ des Wats says, 86 We read in the Brumls Oracle of the 18th instant, that they value the property which BONAPARTE had placed in dif ferent Banks at S 6 millions of francs. As to the Memoirs which BONAPARTE wrote at St. Helena, it ar pears certain that there exist three copies of them ; but it seems doubtful whether they will be delivered to the pi inter, at least for some time to come." Yiencli Five per Cents. Tuesday, 83 fr. 4.5 c. Quebec Papers to the 20th ult. have arrived. Some inconvenience to the Merchants of Canada appears likely to arise from the too limited period allowed for carrying into operation the new Timber Act, par ticularly as regards that portion of it relating to the transit of American timber through the province.— Property in timber to a great value from Lake Cham plain was then in the Canada market, contracted and ' paid for on British account last year, and which arrived in Canada previous to the passing of the law. Most of the surplus value of this timber was on account of the' merchants of Lake Champlain and other places, and intended as a remittance to pay their Canada debts.— Little doubt was, however, entertained by the com mercial interest of Quebec, that, on a proper repre sentation of the case being made to the British Minis try, those goods will be allowed to be taken to Eng land on the same footing as American property actually deposited in Quebec previous to the 25th of March last. The Quebec Gazette, in commenting on the possible disappointment of this expectation, ob serves with a freedom rather remarkable for a paper under the immediate controul of the Government, that it would arise from there being " no accredited agent to Parliament to represent the interests of the country. A cen.su3 of the City of Montreal, this season, fixes the number of inhabitants at 30,000. Wednesday there will be given, in honour of his MAJESTY S Coronation, by Miss WYK EHA m, at Thame l'ark, Oxfordshire, one of the most noble enter tainments ever witnessed in that County ; and to give some idea of the grandeur and extent of the festival, the following will form part of this magnificent dis play of loyalty : Teo fat oxen, one to be roasted whole by twelve mana gers from Windsor.—Seven fat sheep.—Two bucks.-1,000 plum-puddings.—spoo loaves, ordered to be delivered on the morning.-2,0 0 0 gallons of beer.—Two pipes of wine, to be drawn from the wood.—Balls in the evening ; and a very grand display of fire-works, by the first artists from Lon don.—A table is arranged within the Mansion for upwards of three hundred Nobility and Gentry to sup, and another for double the number of tenantry, &c. &c. A booth is erecting in the Park to dine upwards of one thousand people. The pre parations have been going on with great activity for many days Cast, on a very extensive scale, under the directions of J. Emt, mn. Esq.—Seven bands of music are engaged.

The following is an outline of the Plan now under consideration, and, we believe, actually determined upon, for carrying into effect a general system of economy in the various Civil Departments of the' ' State. It has originated in the Treasury Department, and the different other Civil Establishments have been called upon, by official circulars, to revise their respective departments, and new model them accord ing to the following principles : Ist. That all offices shall be restored, as to the number of persons employed, and their several sala ries, to the state in which they were placed in the year 1797, subject, however, to such variations or exceptions as the peculiarity of circumstances may render expedient. 2d. That all offices, after undergoing such revision, shall be considered as placed upon a perfectly new establishment, to commence operation on the Sth of January next. It is further in contemplation to repeal the 50 Geo. 111. c. 117, which regulates the Superannuation Al lowances to retired Civil Officers, and providesfor the payment thcrcrif out ?like Public Funds, and in lieu of such to compel all Civil Officers who may hereafter i become entitled to such allowance to contribute a fixed rate per tentage upon their respective salaries and emoluments towards the formation of a Super annuation Fund, to be administered under the direc- Ition of the Lords of the Treasury, and to be esta blished and preserved in the following manner : All public civil officers whose salaries (rifler reduc tion or revision upon the foregoing principle) amount to, or exceed, £lOO per annum, and who may here ; after become entitled to superannuation allowance, are required to contribute 5 per cent. of such salaries, &c. to this new General Superannuation . Fund"— such Fier centage to be paid by the respective efficers into the National Debt Office" nithin seven days after every payment of their salaries. All vacancies, new appointments, &c. are to be filled up, of course , after sth January, according to the new regulations. It is here necessary to observe, with reference to the plan of reduction, &c. that it is in:ended that all those o:ficers whose situations ate to be retained, and whose salaries exceed those allowed under the new and reduced scale, shall continue to enjoy their pre sent salaries, &c. but without being permitted to ob tain the usual progressive advance to which they would otherwise have been entitled, until they be come entitled under the new and reduced scale to sa laries, which, with such progressive advance, would equal those they now possess. This indulgence, how ever, is not to be unqualified, as it it intended that all Officers so circumstanced, and whose emoluments exceed what is het eafter to be attached to their parti cular offices, shall be required to make an additional contribution, according to the following scale, namely : —An additional 21 per cent. upon all salaries (thus I situated) of £lOO and not exceeding £5OO-5 per cent. on ditto not exceeding £looo—and 10 per cent. on all salaries, &c. exceeding I.looo—being in the whole a per centage of 7} on the first class-10 on the second—and 15 per cent. on the third class. This additional contribution is not, however, to be required unless the excess.of salary above that to be hereafter allowed shall be double the amount of the further contribution thus required ; and also to cease whenever such salaries shall become, by progressive advance, assimilated to the new and reduced scale of payments. It is further intended that all Officers who may be permitted to retire upon the superannuation allow ance shall receive one-half of such allowance out of the new fund, to be created by contribution, in manner before mentioned, and the other half will be paid by the Public as at present. It is also in contemplation to establish a Scale, to 'tally new, for the regulation of the Superannuation Allowance, and which new scale will be much less advantageous to the retired Officers than that now existing. THE NEW SCALE. Above 10 years service, and not more than 15, to receive 4-12ths of the salary-15 to 20, 5-12ths-20 to 25, 6-12ths-25 to 30, 7-12ths-30 to 35, 8-12ths —35 to 40, 9-12ths-40 to 45, 10-12ths-45 to 50, 11-12ths—above 50, the whole. We are very happy to hear, that WILLIAM CON STABLE MAXWELL, E.q. of Nithsdale, has, with the consent of his Curators, given, upon an average, the lundsome abatement of 20 per cent. to his tenants on the estate of Carlaverock. We also understand, that MARMADUKECONSTABLEMAXITELL,t sq. has, with a similar consent, given a considerable abatement to his tenants on his estates in Kirkgunzeon and Lochrutton. Lord CLIFDEN has cancelled the whole of the ar rears due by his tenantry on his large estates in Ire land, and promised a suitable reduction of rent next season, should prices remain at their present de pressed state.

DUBLIN, AUGUST co. Saturday, his MAJEsry gave a dinner at the Regal ' , Palace in the Park. There were present, amongst other personages of distinction, the Loan LIEUTE NANT, the LORD Nlavort, the two Princes and Prin cess ESTERHAZY, the Duke of Mouraosa, the Mar quis of ANGLESEA, Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD, &C. The LORD MAYOR and Corporation, on foot and uncovered, attended Sir WILLIAM Cuar ts through the City yesterday, after their return from Christ Church. During Divine Service at the Cathedral of Christ Church, and whilst those who were in the great aisle were arranging themselves to gain a view of his MA JESTY on his return to his carriage, a young man, of very genteel appearance, placed himself on one of the statues, and during the great anxiety to see the KING, he was seized with an apoplectic fit, from which he fell on his face senseless to the ground : an immediate alarm was the consequence : Mr. Stott Es, a surgeon, who was in the Church, repaired to the unfortunate man's assistance ; but, contrary to his advice, the friends of the young man had him removed . to an hospital, where he died in a very sh ort time after. Several gross and wanton outrages were perpe trated by a mob of the very lowest description, during the illuminations on Saturday night. About eleven o'clock they became troublesome, and from twelve to three on Sunday morning, they carried on an uninterrupted and most active career of destruction. -:--The houses and property of the most respectable citivens were assailed. Windows in which lights were kept burning until one, and half-past one o'clock, were nevertheless totally destroyed at two; and many windows were demolished which were actually illu- I minted at the moment the stones were thrown. DUISLIN, AUGUST 21. At one o'clock this day, one of the most numerous and respectable Meetings we remember to have wit nessed, was held at the Itoyal Exchange, for the pur pose of entering into a Public Subscription to erect a Testimonial, commemorative of the glorious and au spicious event of his MAJESTY'S visit to this country. The Loan Mayon was in the Chair, surrounded by the most distinguished personages in the country, of every rank and sect. His Lordship then read the Requisition, in pursuance of which the Meeting was convened, and briefly addressed the Meeting upon the glorious object which they had met to promote, and in which he knew he should have to witness but one opinion—(f/ear, hear). The Archbishop of 'luau prefaced, by an eloquent speech, a series of Resolutions for their adoption. He said that the proof given by his Majesty of his pater nal regard for his Irish subjects, could not possibly be more strongly demonstrated, than by this visit, so immediately after the ceremony of the Con:4l6on. It was, he said, delightful to find th tt the people felt as became them the inimitable blessings which must flow from this royal act on the part of a Sovereign whose councils were marked by wisdom and perse verance, in the pursuit of everything which was cal culated to confer happiness upon his people. They had every reason to hope that the benefits of his Ma jesty's example would mu.t be transient, bet that they would be long felt in the improved condition of the people, and in the securing for them all those advan tages which were compatible with the claims of others. He trusted that the benign influence of the King's visit would stimulate the land-owners of the country to a residence among their peasantry. It had been hitherto the want of that residence which was the bane of the country, and had plunged the peasantry into insubordination, barbarity, and po verty—(Applause).—His Grace concluded by offer ing up a prayer for the health and prosperity of his Majesty, to enable him to fulfil his most gracious in tentions towards his loyal and affectionate people. The Earl of FINGAL seconded the Resolutions, and said, that although not a public speaker, he could not refrain, on this occasion, from bearing his testi mony to the sound and just view which the Right Reverend Mover had taken of the blessings which must flow from his Majesty's most gracious visit to this country. Every heart was warm in exultation, at the present most gratifying opportunity of express ing to the Sovereign the sentiments which animated the breasts of Irishmen. Ile (Lord Fingal) must feel particularly grateful, having been flattered so strongly by his Majesty's most condescending selection, as one of those who were to be honoured by mat ks of the Royal favourL—(Lond applause).—lle cordially se conded the Resolutions. When the question was pat from the Chair, Mr. O'CoNNELL suggested the propriety of embo dying in one of the Resolutions, a recommendation, that the Testimonial should not be one like those pil lars which commemorate the triumphs, great as they were, of a Wellington and a Nelson, but that it should be a Palace—(Loud cheers).—The King had given them hopes that he might occasionally cheer and gratify them by his presence. Let them then enable his Majesty to say, while other Princes can dwell in Palaces built for them Out of the Taxes of their sub jects—" Here, here is mine, built for me by the over flowing hearts of my people !"—(Loud cheering).— They had heard of the conquests which had marked the reign of his Majesty, but the conquest he had now achieved was greater than them all—it was a triumph, by the benign influence of his presence, over the pas sions and prejudices which had unhappily convulsed this country.--(Cheers); and of their King, he might say with nuth, that they had witnessed an him, by his manners and comportment since he came among them, all that conciliation and blandness which marked him out as the most accomplished Gentle man of his day—( Load applause).—Mr. O'Connell earnestly suggested, that the Testimonial should, if possible, be a Palace, to which not alone the rank around him could contribute, but, to the erectiep of which, every peasant could from his cottage contri bute his humble mite. This was the more necessary, where the joy of the occasion penetrated the hum blest dwelling, as well as the most resplendent man sion —( Load claws). The Archbishop of TUAM, Mr. LUKE WHITE, Mr. SINGER, ME.GLIINNESS, MT. WALKER, and one or two other Gentlemen, agreed in the propriety of this suggestion, should the funds of the Subscription enable them to carry it into practical effect. It was then determined, that, the lion, and Rev. Posiettoy and Mr. T:IONIAS MACDOSNELL should act as Pluvisiignal Sco..t.tii;:a; and chat, on . Sstuid.q next ) ak the Royal Esatanze, ileckiti of the Subscribers should be held, to'norninate a Coot• naittce, to promote the ultimate object cf the Meeting, The Lotto Palm ATE Was then cannel to the Cliair, and the cordial thanks of the Meeting voted to th e Lord Mayor. A large Subscription Was ,hen entered into, and the Meeting adjourned. Monday, a grand dinner of the Dc . putation% charged with Addresses of Congratulation o n hi s MAJESTY'S arrival in this country, took place at RISSON . S. About one hundred Noblemen and Gen• tlemen were assembled to commemorate this auspi cious event. The Chair was ably filled by the MAvo k of Cork ; and Mr. Ma n RETT, the Mayor of Limerick, acted as Vice• President. _ _ BON Mor.—One of the Gentlemen in the KING 's suite having mentioned before the witty Lord that the KING felt much graphed by the ardent and enthusiastic' reception of his Irish subjects. " Aye" replied his Lordship, gg Ireland is the place to get 4 Cordial reception!" IRISH versus ENGLISH BULLS. Says Pat," those curs'il English are sadly provoking. " About Irish Bulls they're so frequently joking; " By my shout they've no cause of our bulk to `peak, " They make more in n fortnight than we in a ne..k !" BRIGHTON, AUGUST ''l. Soon after three o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, the Duke of YORK set off' in his travelling carriage, on a visit to Lord GEORGE CAVENDISH, at Compt oa . place, near Seaford. The Duke returned to the P. vilion at half-past two that afternoon. His Hopi Highness has frequently select dinner and evening parties. Colonel COOKE took leave of the Royal Duke, and departed for London. THE ARMY. An order has been received by the Commanding Officer of the 76th Regiment, in Limerick garrison, to reduce its .cretvih two companies, viz. two Captains, two I ieutenants, WO men, and eleven drummers, to take place the sah August. The establishment of the Regiment will then be Ito rank and file. As usual, they will receive two months pay in ;.dvalue. The same order has been issued to the whole Army. The via cancies will be filled up a s they occur in each Regiment, frost the Officers who cuwie within the reduction. The additional companies of the fifth, 71st, and 86th Regl. silents, quartered at Chttham, were disbanded yesterday. A change of Regiments i s expected to take place in (h thane Garrison; the .Sd Guards, from Plymouth, are expected to be quartered there. The first division of the sth, or Princess Charlotte of Wales Dragoon Guards, arrived at Ayr on Thursday, on their route for Ireland. _ _ _ _ The first battalion of the Zd Guards are ordered from Ply mouth-Dock, but their destination is not yet mentioned. The 10th Foot are ordered to embark at Portsmouth to relieve them. At an early hour this morning the usual reliefs and change of quarters for the three Regiments of Guards took place, for tie ensuing six months. They were accompanied by their bands of music, &c. in full uniform. INSULTING THE MILITA RT.—Yesterday Benjamin Burns, the pugilist, charged a man, before G. B. 31.t1siwaarm:, Esq. at Mari borough-street Office, with having used violent language to some soldiets who were in his house, and making a great disturbance. Burns stated that, on Thursday night last, the prisoner entered I hi: parlour, where three soldiers of the Guards were sitting peaceably. when the prisoner intruded his discourse on them, and, alluding to the circumstances which took place on the 14th inst. abused the soldiers in a violent manner, and called theat several opprobrious names, which caused him to take him to the watch-house, on his refusal to quit the house. The prisoner, is his defence, said that he merely went into the parlour, and, in the course of conversation with the soldiers, the affray at Cumber land-gate was brought forward, and he (the prisoner) spoke his sentiments freely, saying that it was a shame the military should have acted so violently. Mr. 31,strava am; told him his condutt had been very improper in abusing the soldiers, and it was optional on the part of Mr. Burn to indict him for the riut is his house. Mr. Burn, having no disposition to punish Lim, oni f wished that he would keep from his house ; on which the pri soner paid a shilling and was discharged. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

LAND.—Thursday night, information was received at I.IOII.SIIVE, of a most daring attack m a de on Captain !lassie, and a boat's crew of the Earl Moira Revenue cutter, by an armed body of smugglers, off the coast of Shetland, by which we man was killed, two mortally, and several others dangerously wounded . From the particulars transmitted to town, it seems that Copula Hann having for some days observed a dark, suspicious-loolief vessel off Wbalsey Island, on the Shetland coast, on the more' log of the 4th Instant manned a boat, and proceeded to esamire her by virtue of the King's authority. The strange ve,sel lowed him to come so close, that he heard several of the mot on board speak very good English ; but when he attempted* board, a heavy discharge of musketry was given him by the smugglers, which at once brought down three of his marinate killing one on the spot. The Captain made a stco:td ga11 241 effort, but the galling tire of his adversary so thinned the bra , little pally, that they were obliged to retreat, and the Luger, got Off, with her cargo, which is supposed to have consisted a I smuggled tea, gin, and tobacco. From some circumstoccst bst have transpired, It is suspected that the smuggler came from the I coast of Kent, probably Deal, and officers have set off CAI 'to make inquiries. The Commissioners of Excke have Ate 'a reward of £lOO for the apptehension of any to the parthese- See Advertisement. DIED.
