REJOICINGS LV TILE COUNTRY. FORT REGENT-JERSEY. Amongst the various demonstrations of loyalty and devoted attachment to our beloved Sovereign, GEORGE the FOURTH, which the recent auspicious solemnity of his MAJESTY'S Coronation has so universally pro duced, iL becomes one of our most pleasing duties to notice the magnificent entertainment at Fort Regent, given on the memorable occasion, by the Officers of the 12th Regiment of Foot. Since the arrival of this distinguished old Regiment on the Island, we have had many opportunities of observing how much the exemplary conduct of the men has contributed to our comfort and happiness, while the gentlemanly qua lities of the Officers could not fail to render them objects of just attraction in that society on which their polished manners and acquirements reflected so much additional lustre. The splendid Fete we allude to was arranged and conducted in such a manner as snore than fulfilled the expectations which were na turally excited, by our previous knowledge of the re fined and elegant taste of the gallant hosts. To enter into a minute description of the exquisite specimens of taste and fancy which were display ed on this in teresting occasion, would far exceed our limits ; we eau, therefore, only say, that the tout ensemble was such as to present the appearance of enchantment, more than the delightful reality which existed. One of the large Mess-rooms of the Fort having been ap propriated to the Ball, was bitted up and decorated in a style of elegance, which surpassed anything of the kind we have ever seen : devices, composed of variegated lamps, &c. emblematical of the glorious object of celebration, eierywhere met the eye of the enraptured guests ; while a profusion of laurels, and other evergreens, were made to encircle a beautiful collection of transparencies, representing the many brilliant victories, in various quarters of the globe, in which the 12th Regiment bore so conspicuous a part. The design and execution of those representations re flect the highest credit on one of the Officers of the, Corps, whose skill and taste in this beautiful species of ornament, is well known and appreciated. The company, which consisted of all the rank and fashion resident on the island, in addition to the many distinguished families and individuals who at this delicious season visit our picturesque scenery, amount ing in all to upwards of 200 persons, were assembled and received by the Officers at about nine o'clock, when the Ball was opened with an English country dance. Afterwards that beautiful 'movement, the quadrille, so eminently calculated to display to just advantage the angelic forms of our fair Islanders, assumed its wonted sway, and continued with little intermission until one, when a signal from the musi cians caused the company to proceed to the tents in the Barrack-square, in which supper was prepared.' We need scarcely observe, that the banquet was corn-' posed, of every delicacy which the season affords, or could be procured from the , mother-country and the neighbouring French coast, and was served up in a style of elegant hospitality. The appropriate toasts proposed from the Chair, were of course preceded by " the health of our most gracious Sovereign King GEORGE the Fourth," with a suitable Address, fully embracing the ardent sentiments of love and attach ment for his MAJESTY'S sacred person and Govern ment which animated the bosom of every individual of this delightful assembly. Dancing was soon after resumed, and continued with the greatest spirit until the following day was well advanced, when the com pany, with visible reluctance, separated, deeply im pressed with the elegance of the entertainment, and with sentiments of the most enthusiastic admiration of the memorable and glorious event which they were invited to celebrate. LEOMINSTER, JULY 31. At Leominster, the day of the Coronation was ce lehrated with every mark of respect. The Corpora- Lion and many inhabitants dined at the King's Arms, the Chief Magistrate in the Chair. During the after noon several appropriate toasts were given, with con-' gratulatory sentiments expressing attachment to our crowned Sovereign, &c. and a variety of songs, which contributed not a little to promote the general hila lity. The day closed with a grand display of fire works, and a masked ball, the characters in which were well sustained. Thii auspicious day will long be remembered by the inhabitants, and recounted by their children, to their children's children. THE FUNDS. PRICES OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O .

TOMKINS'S PICTURE LOTTERY, TO-MORROW — A RED AND A BLACK Ticg.ET 3s. EACH), ARE SURE OF A PRIZE! The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived this forenoon. The Constitu:io , :!:e! contains the following extract of a private letter from Smyrna, dated 19th June, two days later than the accounts from that place which we yesterday extracted from the Monitcur : " Within these four days past the European Con suls and Agents, who have taken refuge on board the vessels in the roads, have seen their houses and stores sacked by the Turkish populace, joined to the Janizaries. This un.lisciplined race, after killing their Lieutenant-General, who opposed himself to their fury, used such force with the Paella of Cesarea, that he was obliged to allow them to do as they pleased. Thus in a few days the first sea-port of the Levant, the opulent Smyrna, its magazines, its riches, and its prosperity, have disappeared. " All that was Christian, Armenian, or Frank, is exterminated ; the Catholic and orthodox churches are a prey to the fury of an unbridled people, ex cited by a thirst of plunder and by fanaticism. I reckon at about 12,000 the number of Christians of all ages, and of both sexes, who have fallen under the poigniards of the Maltometans, who no longer con ceal their design of extirpating Christianity, and transforming their empire into another ancientTatu ida, where Europeans shall be as little admitted as in Ja pan. The city of Sidonia, which the Turks call Iva dia, and in which there are about 30,000 Christians, has been set fire to by the Tusks, who have put to the sword all the inhabitants capable of bearing arms, and carried into slavery in the interior the women and children. The Colleges, the Churches, the In firmary, the Public Library, the whole of this flourish ing city, exists no more l" The disastrous intelligence contained in this letter is confirmed by a Vienna article of the 12th of June, in which it is stated, that, " according to letters from Smyrna, dated the 17th of June, the troops of Asia' had forced their entrance into the town, and killed the Governor, the Cadi, and the Mollah, who en deavoured to keep them out. They afterwards pil laged and assassinated all the Christians who had not taken refuge on board the European ships." The accounts from Constantinople come down to l the 24th of June. They are also of a most afflicting description. The losses at sea had still further exas perated the SULTAN and the populace; the houses of the Greeks were all given up to be pillaged; and the Jews served as spies and guides to the populace. The women and children had either been assassi nated or carried off as slaves. The Greeks, natives of the Morea, were first given up to the people ; 300, who survived the massacre, were sold at from 20 to 25 piastres, with the condition that the purchasers should transport them into Asia. A letter given in the Courier Franpais, dated Con• • stantinople, June 22, adds, " The fury of the Mussul mans of this Capital having preyed for upwards o . three months upon the unfortunate Greeks, and being almost exhausted by a series of massacres, Legins to be directed against the most wealthy Armenian Christians. This people, deriving its origin from Asia, exasperates the Turks still more by a similarity of dress and language : the Armenian language is used only in the Churches. These persecuted Arme nian Christians, jointly with the Greeks, compose a l population estimated at 200,000 persons ; being dis armed like them, thq are likely to become the vic tims of the same cruelty, and Constantinople will soon lose half its population." The Russian Ambassador, Srnocoxarr, was still at Bujukdere, and strictly watched. He is neither per mitted to send nor to receive letters. He had suc ceeded in embarking his family for Ode s sa, but the populace insulted them test grossly during their embarkation ; they even fired upon the ship. Some Greek families had also escaped. The Emperor ALEXANDER has, it appears, not only permitted the Greek Patriarch, who had been exe cuted at Constantinople by order of the SULTAN, to .be buried at Odessa, but has honoured his remains with a solemn funeral ceremony. Numbers of the Clergy, from various Russian Governments, assem bled at Odessa to attend on this occasion ; and Rus sian soldiers, to the amount of eight thousand, under the command of Count LA NCERON, lined the avenues through which the procession passed. A still more useful mark of benevolence towards the Greeks, on the part of his IMPERIAL MAJESTY, was a remittance of 100,000 roubles, to be distributed among the poor fugitives from the Turkish capital, who crowded the streets of Odessa. According to letters received in Vienna from Sem. lin, of the 3:1 ult. the posts from Seres and Salonica had been interrupted for twelve days. As the incur• rcction of the Greeks had spread to Pharsalia and Larissa, it was suspected that troubles had also broken out in Salonica. A courier arrived at Belgrade the 'AI of July, brought intelligence that HASSEM PACIIA, who fought ALI PACIIA, of Joannina, was in full re treat towards Macedonia. . French 5 per Cents. Monday, 86 fr. 25 c. TILE NORTHERN EXPEDITION. We have been favoured with the following interest ing extract of a letter from one of the Gentlemen employed on the Northern Expedition : " His Majesty's ship Fury, liu . lson's Bay, the Coast of America, June eo, 1821. " I take the opportunity of writing you, by the re turn of the Nautilus transport, which accompanied us to carry our heavy stores. We have had an ex cellent passage from the Orkneys to this part of the world ; the weather, however, since we have been here, has not been so favourable. aWe have made two attempts to unload the 1 transport, having made fast to icebergs for that purpose, but have been blown off successively by heavy gales, with the loss of some of our boats from the deck, and no small share of tribulation for the transport, which has not been properly fortified for the ice. She has come off, however, very well, con sidering everything, having only lost the copper from her bows. We are now taking advantage of a fine day, and hope to get rid of her in ,a day or two, and to proceed upon our destination. " We made an island about a week ago, called Resolution Island, where we expected to see some Indians, but there was so much ice between the ships and the land, that we could not get in. a I can hardly give you an idea of our intended route, or, more properly, of our ideal route; first, be cause our course must, in a great measure, depend upon the state of the ice; secondly, for want of a chart ; for those in common use are so incorrect in the general outline of the coast, as to be perfectly useless. If, however, you should fall in with a good map of the country, I will tell you the track we shall endeavour to take. " After making Cape Farewell, the southern ex tremity of Greenland, in lat. 59. N. and long. 44. W. we proceeded nearly due west between Cape Chidley, on the Labrador Coast, and Resolution Island, in lat. 61. 40. N. and long. 63. W. where we now are; from hence we intend to steer, if wind and ice will permit, about a North-west course, and en deavour to explore an inlet to the East of Repulse Bay, which has never yet been entered by any one but Fox, about 150 years ago ; thence we shall pro ceed to Hearne's Sea, where we shall winter (if we get there) ; then to Mackenzie's Sea, Bchring's Straits, &c. " All the Officers are exceedingly agmable, and I have but little doubt we shall spend the winter very comfortably together. We are all preparing our rifles for shooting deer, with which these islands abound. We are, however, exceedingly well off in the eating way—plenty of fresh beef, mutton, pork eggs, fish, and poultry on board, besides sheep, pigs: and 22 fine bullocks, on board the transport, and potted meats and soups of all kinds for more than three years, so that our salt provisions we scarcely need taste the whole voyage, unless we choose. " The mean temperature where we now are is about 35° Fahrenheit, the sun just skimming below the horizon at this time at midnight, so that we have constant day, which you may conceive is a great comfort in navigation amongst ice. An apparatus was yesterday let down to the depth of 500 fathoms, for bringing up water: its temperature by a registering thermometer was 10y degrees Fahrenheit; that at the surface Leing 96 degrees. The specific gravit7,: t the same depth, was 1.0278, and at the su r fa ce, 1.0260. Our position, as determined astronomical)v is always to the north-west of our dead reckonin,! from which it appears, that there is a cr./nee:ft cur rent setting from the north-west to south-east: DREADFUL FIRE AT B.4RBADOES. " Barbadoes, June ii, 1821. " We are sorry to announce the intelligence of a most dreadful fire, which took place at Bridge Town, Barbadoes, June 10th, and which is supposed to have originated through the carelessness of a baker; the conflagration soon spread in all direc. tions, with the most alarming rapidity, and th e town presented a scene of confusion and dismay which no pencil can depict. A strong south-east wind added to the fury of the flames. The inhabitants were per. fectly aware of the necessity of immediate exertion; nevertheless, so great was their amazment, that they were unable to render the least assistance, until the arrival of the 4th (or King's Own) Regi ment of Foot, who, with the utmost al.icritv and sangfroid, threw aside their arms and accoutranent, rushed into the flames, and at the hazard of their lives, saved many individuals from the devou r i n , element; and at the same time prescrve', much valu able property, which would otherwise have been de , stro(ed or plundered. In fact, the exertions of the 06.1cers and men were beyond all praise, and will leave a lasting im pression on the inhabitants of 'his Island. We lave not yet been able to ascertain the amount of the pro perty destroyed, but it must be very considerable, as upwards of sixty houses were consumed. .‘ We are much indebted to General Manwar' for his exertions, and the prompt assistance affordeti by the Garrison, but for which the greater part of the town must have been burned." THE ARMY. The East Devon :11ilitia completed their period of trainiaz Wednesday, at Exeter. Monday night, the Officers of the Guards gave a grand RA and Supper at the Royal hotel, Plymouth, in honour of his MAJILSTY'S Coronation. About .100 of the Nobility and Gen:ry of the neighbourhood were present. It is spoken of as the nos splendid Fete of the kind that has ever been given in the Wm of England. NAVAL LVTELLIGENCE.
