The total silence of the Austrian Observer as to the affairs of Greece, and its abandoning the victory it had assigned to the Turks is'strong evidence that the Greeks have been success ful. The accounts, however, are sO contradictory that it is impossible to reconcile them. An article from Frankfort of the 26th ult.:says, 46 It is affirmed that in the famous battle at Thermopyle the Greeks were aided by the counsels of a foreign General of distinction, who came from Corinth. This Officer, who observed the strictest incognito, fought in the tanks merely as a Greek Captain." The war between the Turks and Greeks is assuming a still more fero cious character, as will be seen by the following ar ticle from one of these Papers: EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM CORFU, DATED JULY 25. The accounts from the Continent, of the 16th of this month, inform us that a party of thirty Franks, encamped at the village of Pera, near Arta, was stir prised and surrounded by the Turks. They were taken to Arta, where the barbarians curt off their ears and noses, and putout their eyes, and sent them back in this condition to the camp of the Greeks, who, in flamed with anger at this sight, fell upon the Maho tnetans, and retaliated, by cutting in pieces 340 pri soners who fell into their hands. . . While these scenes of horror were passing in the south of Epirus, Mark Botzaris, issuing from the mountains of Sulf, penetrated by the plateau of Joan nina, and overran part of Calzana-Choria, from which he drove the Turks, who escaped only by em barking on the lake to return to the fort of Joannina. Letters from Parga say, that the plague has ap peared at Paramythia, and in a great many villages of the Chamouri. The latest accounts from Zante say, that four Ame rican frigates or corvettes are cruising before the castle at Patras. At the departure of the post, there' was a report of a sanguinary combat at Thermopyle, on the 7th and Bth of July, of which various ac counts were given, according to the inclinations of the, narrators. The death of Odysseus was generally spoken of— a 105 S which was more than made up for by the sue ccss of the brave and prudent Mark Ilietzaris. No reliance is now placed, in Greece, in the assistance of Russia, to which, as Chourschi'd Pacha has publicly announced, " the Porte had deigned to grant peace, since it has abandoned the cause of its Greek fellow- Christians, and recognized the preeminence of the Crescent above the standard of the Cross." Though this is merely the boasting of a barbarian, it is not easy to describe the sinister impression which it-has made on the minds of the Christians. After the taking of Athens, the Greeks having learnt the massacres at Scio, retaliated by massacre ing all the Turks. Two French vessels succeeded in saving about 300 Musselman women. It is afflict ing that amidst so many instances of invincible va lour and perseverance, religion and humanity should have to deplore excesses of which Christian soldiers stiould never be guilty. Vll 1411 A, Ara 23.-3letalliques Si 11.16.-Bank Shares The French Papers of Tuesday have been received.

CnAJX.D'Es'r•ANOI, . Counsel for one of the prisoners, produced a little dagger, which he carried as a member of a Masonic Lodge, in order to illustrate his argument that the circumstance of wearing arms did not necessarily prove dangerous intentions.

I Was or dered to go to the barrack of the gendarmerie, and I went with the others." MAIRST, a Quartermaster of the Gendarmerie at Thouars, gave an account of the manner in which he was taken prisoner by General Berthon's party. He and the Gendarmes were seized in the barracks, and arched on towards Saumur with Berthon's body. On the march, the troops cried " Live the Emperor ! —Live Napoleon IL—Down with the drafts 'Tunis," When they came to the School of Horsemanship at Saumur, Delon, one of the band, said, " We will go in." A voice replied, " You shall not." The Mayor of Saumur met Berthot►, and said, "You have a loose head, Do you think with a handful of misled men to come into Saumur ?" The PROCURZUR-GiNZRAL asked whether the per sons composing the band••—!he physichals, for in stance, might have escaped ? The Witness.—Undoubtedly, if they wished it. 'The accused, Ricque and Ledein, discussed this point with the witness and the Procureur. They observed, that as the witness was afraid of running of lest the accused should fire on him, so they, the ac cused, were kept itt by the terror of the Gendarmerie. The news from Lisbon, of the 9th, announces that the Charge d'Affaires of the Cabinet of Berlin has demanded his passports, and reparation for the in sult which he has pretended to have received from the Court of Lisbon, because it . has refused to recog nize his. official character until the Prussian Govern ment shall have recognised the Envoy of Portugal. The passports were immediately granted. The con vocation of the Extraordinary Cortes will take place, I I as it now appears, on the 24th of September next. It appears that Count SANTA ROSA, the Piedmon tese refugee, who has been for some time under the ' superintendence of the French police at Alencon, has been forced to depart at two days' notice for &urges, under the escort of a gendarme, wheie he is to re main till further orders. It is said that the new Ministry of Spain have signa- heed theirentty into power by a factions representation made to his MAJESTY, on the consequences and dan ger of his crooked conduct. They have declared to him, that if he will not send away his perfidious coun sellors, and shew his attachment to the Constitu tional system '4l , his actions, they must be under the hard and painful necessity of bringing his MAJESTY to judgment, in pronouncing, in conjunction with the Cortes, his deposition according to the terms of the Constitution.

The scene, na turally solemn and interesting, was rendered far more so by the circumstances attending this agree able visit. To see him, the once " crowned head" of a then powerful nation, at whose word thousands have bowed " in deferential submission," associating familiarly with the youth of our land, and all grati fying a laudable curiosity by viewing the wonders of the creation, is a spectacle not only charming to the beholders ; but honourable to our country.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER left town yesterday for Blackheath. A Gentleman passing through Fleet-market was surprised at being hailed from the well-known College by a friend, who, it appeared, was " in durance vile." • Ah !

A Lady the other day was-asked by an envious fe male acquaintance her age?—" Really," said she, " Ido not know, but I must be about thirty." cs I t is very extraordinary," replied theother, with a sneer, " that you do not know your age." " I never count my years," said the Lady, " I am not afraid of losing a single year ; none of my female friends will rob me of one!" When the names of the parties about to enter the " Estate of Matrimony" were posted on the door of St. Botolph's Church on Monday, the novelty drew a concourse of persons, who, in language nod the most refined, reprobated the whole system. A fishwoman said, with an oath, " it was a shame to have their names exposed in such an immodest manner." There is a just and universal outcry against the new Marriage Act. We certainly have never seen or heard of a measure so' fitted to wound the feelings of those upon whom it immediately operates. It would perplex the most ingenious man living to devise one respectable motive for obliging young women to go before a Police Magistrate, to the risk of encountering the ribaldry of thieves and vagabonds lining the avenues of the Office and for what? to swear to facts which might be learned with more clearness mid security from third persons. Then it is to be observed, that if the old law too much facilitated the annulling of marriages, and the bastardizing of innocent offspring , the present Act errs as much in ano th er way, for it makes all mar riages, no matter how solemnized, indissoluble.... There are, it is true, certain forms prescribed, and certain acts enjoined, both by the parties about to inter marry, and by the clergyman ; but it is settled with exemplary care, that the absence of such acts, or the abuse of such forms, though it may subject the offenders to personal punishments limited under the, statute, shall not invalidate the marriage ; although (ex. gr.) an affidavit is directed to be sworn by tile persons about to contract marriage, ere their basins can be regularly published; but the falsehood of that affidavit—or its incompleteness in any particular—al. though capable of direct proof, shall not, after th e consummation of the marriage, be suffered to impair that contract. Deep artifice, on the part of a man without principle, or mere negligence on that of the Minister.-to say nothingof possible collusion between them—may, then:furs, establish as sacred and indis soluble a kno which, under no circum s t a n ces , would parents or wish to sae maintained.

LIABILITY OF kttMEN. George Folokr, a seaman, "as yesterday brought before the LORD ilavon, upon a warrant, for violation of an agreement made with the taster of a merchantman called the Britanni.l, trading to Jamaica, which violation subjected him to very hear/ penalties by the prrmisions or a Statute of his late Majesty. The Captain of the Britannia stated, that ;he defendaut 11:2 some time ago entered into a regular engagement with bin: to act as seaman in a voyage to Jamaica and home. Winless h... 1 taken with him a crew just adequate to the labours of the voyag , ', and expected that his men would adhere to their eugagernen:., the consequences of departing kraut which at such a distance from England as the Colonies were, might be attended with the most serious mischief to the owners. Upon landing at Jamaica, however, the witness found that he had the disadvantage of desertion by three of his men to contend with, and that the L!. fendant was one of those who bad left him in the almost insur mountable extremity. As he was in the habit of going voyages to the West Indies he was determined to do all he could to pre vent a repetition of such acts as had so greatly inconvenienced him, and he accordingly applied to the LORD 111avoi; for a war rant to apprehend the defendant upon the 37th of Geo. I IL cap. 73, intituled, " An Act to prevent the desertion of seamen man British merchants' ships trading to the British Colonies in the West Indies." The Act states, that any seaman wficsshall desert from 12:s ship during his voyage out or homewards, shall, over and .Jose all previously existing penalties and forfeitures, forfeit all due to him by the vessel from which he shall desert; that third of the forfeiture shall go to Greenwich Hospital, one-thirl to the Merchant Seamen's Fund, and one-third to the informer ; and if the wages due under such circumstances be under the sum of Z2O, the same shall he recoverable before one Magistrate. ' The defendant said, the cause of his desertion was an insvit which he had received on board. He, however, thought fit to request, that In consideration of his wife and children, he might be forgiven, and to declare that he should never subject any °tilt r person who should engage him for a. voyage to the inconveniency complained of. The complainant said, his object was to put an end to a prac tice the most mischievous, and not to punish an individual ulw might think, from the frequency of the practice, that it was a venial offence; and added, that in consideration of the claims of a wife and children upon his compassion, he should fares,' :to present charge.
