THE. EVKNING STAR. LONDON. TUESDAY, MAY 29. 1821. sineammig or CUAlLill IL—Holiday at the Bank. Mr. SCARLETT'S misnamed Poor Relief Bill was l a d night recommitted, and ordered to be printed. The Report will be Lilco into consideration this day week. We are happy to see that Mr. CALCRAPT has declared his intention of taking the sense of the House upon the principle of the Bill on that occasion. The London Wharfs Bill passed the House. A Clause proposed by Mr. Hums for preserving to the Public all existing rights of way was negatived, on a division, by a majority of .52 to 7. The House afterwards went into a Committee of Supply, and a long conversation took place on the Item for granting £197,500 for the Barrack Depart ment. To this Colonel Davies moved an Amend ment to reduce the Vote to 4:59,500, but it was re jected, on a division of .53 to 29. The Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday arrived at a late hour this forenoon. They contain a great deal of interesting and im- portant intelligence respecting the progress of the Greek Insurrection, which we hasten to extract. CORFU, APRIL 23. It was in consequence of a like insult to those which caused at Rome the revolt against the Tarquins, at London that of Wat Tyler, that the insurrection of the Isle of Candia broke ont. The criminal Aga was killed by the offended father, and this vengeance became the signal for the massacre of ail the Mus snlasans. The Turks were chased from every part tithe island, and the Greeks are masters of all the strong places. In the Morea the signal of insurrection was giien by the Mainotes, reinforced, unknown to the Turkish Government, by a great number of Greeks from Etolia and from other countries; who have assembled upon this point during the winter; they burst forth 25,000 strong. The greater part of the Officers have served in the'troops of the other nations of Europe. The Chiefs are Colocotrone, Chrysospathe, Andrus°, Ulysses, and Perron, Prince of Mania. The first. care of the Provisional Government was, to distribute through all the towns of the Peninsula a Proclamation addressed to the Turks, by which they guaranteed to them the safety of their persons and their properties, the liberty of their religion; and equality of civil rights. But the Mussultuans only replied to this generous act by the massacre of the Christian women, children, and old men. The Greeks had then recourse to reprisals. A party of troops from Mania directed themselves on the isthmus of Corinth, to seize on that important point; but they found it already occupied by a pa triot Monk, named Gregorius, who traver,tng the country, Cross in hand, had assembled, by a joint appeal to religion and to patriotism, six thousand Teen under his command. A most obstinate engagement took place before the town of Anapli, of which the Greeks have seized pos session. The latter lost 800 men, and the Turks 5,000. An English Colonel who happened to be in that town, and who was present by chance at the battle, says that the former displayed a degree of spi rit and a tactic which there was little reason to expect. M Patras a reinforcement of Tusks had come from Lepanto. It surprised the Greeks for a moment by its unexpected arrival, but, when they came to blows, the Turks were completely beaten ; only a small number escaped the sword, and saved them wives in the fortress. The insurrection spread promptly from the Mores to the neighbouring provinces, and acquired strength every day. The inhabitants of Attica, determined to conquer or die, have sent their women and old men to the isles of Salamos and Egina. All Etolia and rhocida are in full insurrection. • The Armatoli of Acarnania, Agraphia, and South ern Thessaly, assembled at Paradisia, where they en gaged, by the most solemn oaths, not for a moment to sheath their swords till they have freed the soil of their country from the barbarians who have polluted ft► In consequence of this engagement, they have dis tributed themselves among different posts; the greater number have seized upon the defiles of Pindus. This important position will favour Ali powerfully, by weakening the Turkish army cantoned in Epirus; for, as by the natural sterility of Epirus, and the failure of the crops last year, they can only procure subsistence from Thessaly, this army will be soon famished, and obliged to surrender to the opponents by whom they have been menaced for some weeks. The Satiates have already gained some important advantages over the Turks. Within these few days they have seized on Vonitza. Every instant they are joined by new reinforcements from the interior of Epirus, Acarnania, &c. The Turks are the more embarrassed in this quarter on account of the fleet which they have cruizing on the coasts of Epirus, but which is rendered altogether useless to them. The fear that the Greek sailors, who compose the whole of their crews, may seize on these vessels and deliver them up to their countrymen, has forced them to keep in the port of Humnitsa, oppo site Corfu ; even in that place it is in little safety, for the vessels of Hydra, Species, and Psara are assem bled to dispute its passage. It is said that an engagement has taken place neat ►;'"'- Larissa. The Greeks, under the orders of Gazii, are reported to have had a decided advantage. The Monte►,egrins are already at issue with the Pacha of Scodra. They hold thereby in check all Upper Albania, and prevent him from interfering with the movements of Ali Pacha, who, with his thirty-six cannons, possesses a stronger artillery than that of the Sultan. A woman of Specks, whose husband had been put to death by the Government of Constantinople nine years ago, has taken the charge of arming seven vessels. Dressed in man's apparitt she embarked with the Beet, and taking his son'by the hand, she said to him—" My son, let us die or avenge the death of your father."—She is called Robelina. VIENNA, MAY is. According to accounts from Constantinople, of the 25th April, the exasperation of the Mussulmen people is at its height, since the Sultan Mahmoud has de clared that Islamism was in danger. Men, children, old men, fly to arms everywhere. This agitation can ' not be otherwise than followed with the most deplor rabic excesses and the bloodiest scenes. In the course of the last week, 8000 men of all arms hare been dispatched towards the Black Sea, to reinforce the Army of the Pacha, who is charged wish re-establishing order in the principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia. The same day on which these troops took their de parture, the Prince Constantine Morusi, recently named interpreter to the Sublime Porte, had his head taken off. Several Greek merchants shared the same fate; whets have been hung up at the doors and wind6ws of their houses on the Bosphorus. On the filst of this month, Benderli-Ali-Pacha, the new Grand Vizier, made a solemn entry into Con stantinople. The next day, the Patriarch Gregoire, at the moment when he was going to celebrate Di vine Service, was arrested by the guard, thrown into the prison of the Bostangi-Bachi, and at five o'clock the same evening this venerable old maa was hung before the gate of his own palace. Six Ecclesiastics, of eminent rank, shared the fate of their supreme Chief. The Patriarch Gregoire, as well as Prince Morusi, were accused of treason and complicity in the conspiracy. The Patriarch was seventy-four years et age; and it was he who prepared the Anathema pronounced against the insurgents of Wallachia and Moldavia. AUGSBURGH. MAY P.O. The news from Constantinople are most afflicting. Hundreds of Christians have been massacred in the streets by a furious populace. The Turkish Autho. cities, soldiers, and people, appear to vie with each other in these scenes of carnage. (Tne Pattiarch of the Greeks has left a brother, the Bishop of Tripolizza, who is at this moment at the head of the Mainiotes and the Greeks of the Morea, and gives great inquietude to the Ottoman Porte.— Gazette de France). French Five per Cents. Friday, 84 fr. 15 c. The Moniteur of Saturday contains an Official De claration by the Monarchs of Austria, Russia, and Prussia, dated 12th May, 1821, stating the motives by which they were actuated in their recent inter ference in the affais of Naples and Piedmont. The troubles in these countries, they affiith,,were part of a conspiracy against the repose of nations, whi they, as the guardians of that repose, we ed upon to put down. We have not room for this do cument to-day, but will give it place to-morrow. Letters from Trieste, of the 11th inst. say, that a Greek Priest had arrived at Laybach, and requested an audience of the Emperor of AUSTRIA, which had been denied him. Both the Emperors had left Lay bach, and their departure was obviously accelerated by the Greek Insurrection. The following is an extract of a letter which was received yesterday at LLOYD'S from the Turkish capi tal : " CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 25. 14 Since I last addressed you, on the 10th Instant, we have been exposed to some risk from the wanton acts of an armed Turkish populace; many persons have been killed, andipptuch danger was to be apprehended lest the crews of the shipping now lo port should, either as a measure of retaliation or self-defence, Ism returned the fire. _ __ . - . 4 I am now happy to add, that in consequence of a Memorial which I judged it advisable to present, his Excellency, Lord Strangford, made such representations to the Porte, that for the last two days these acts of violence have entirely ceased ; and it is with great pleasure 1 have to add that, except some trailing damage, no injury has been sustained by our shipping, though several sailors belonging to vessels of other nations have been killed. Tranquillity is now so much restored that we hope to morrow to be able to return to our warehouses." We have received this forenoon, by Mails from Flanders and Holland, Papers to the 25th and 26th instant. The following are extracts: MILAN MAY is. His (Austrian) Majesty has charged the Count de Bubna to deliver in person the keys of the City of l Alexandria into the hands of , his Majesty Charles Felix, King of Sardinia, who is now at Reggio.— This is sufficient refutation of the reports spread by evil• minded persons, of Austria's intentions of ag grandizement. BUUSSELS, MAY 44. The German Journals give frightful details of the damage done by tempests, on the 19th of April, near kreutznach, in Prussia, and en the Sd of May, at Querfurth, in Saxony. The torrents of rain which accompanied them destroyed a great number of buildings and mills, tore up trees by the roots, car ried away carriages and horses, drowned whole flocks of sheep, and destroyed in many districts all hopes of harvest. STOCKHOLM, MAY 1. Since the return of the King after the campaign of 1/44, considerable sums have been subscribed in Sweden, for the purpose of erecting an Hotel for In valids, on the plan of that of Paris; but hitherto it had not been agreed whether it should be in the capi tal or in one of the provinces. The Bing has de cided this question, by giving for the purpose of this institution his fine seat of Ulxichsthal, three-quarters of a league from Stockholm. His Majesty has given directions to the Military Board to have this chateau fitted up during the summer in a manner appropriate to its future destination. MR ARMY. The 3d Rttralion of the Ist Guard*, under the esninupd at Colonel Townes% mounted guard this morning at the Horse Guards.

The Manchester and Salford Yeomanry were on this day se' ht reviewed at Liverpool, on the North Shore, by Colo nel WYNDHAM of the 19th Lancers. The Brigade made as ex cellent appearance, and went through all the usual Cavalry movements with a precision that called forth warm approba tion from Colonel WYNDUAII. The 19th Lancers kept the ground, and then, performed the Lance exercise at speed, in a brilliant manner. The concourse of spectators was immense. All the Officers of the Brigade, together with those of the 19th • Lancers, afterwards partook of a most sumptuous dinner with the Mayor of Liverpool, in the Town Hall. The Oldham Troop of Yeomanry Cavalry are to assemble on Thursday, at Warrington, for fourteen days' permanent duty. Saturday, the Kendal and Milltburp Troops of Yeomanry Cavalry set out from Kendal to their Head-quarters at.Appleby, where they are to be joined by the troops from other parts of the County.

The Ball was opened by his Lordship and Mrs.Wanaurson with the favourite tune of Afirs.fainstais Reel after which, Quadrilles were danced in the most graceful manner In several sets, the Bali concluding with a spirited Scotch Medley. The company separated about three o'clock the nest morning.

Loss or vuz Crimeaus.—Extract of a Letter front Captain LITDLOSTONR, of the Cerberus, East India ship, addressed to his Owners, dated from the Cape of Good Hope, 19th March, 1821 : —'. With heartfelt sorrow I inform you of the bas of the ship Cerberus, on the morning of the loth, at three A.M. in conse quence of the ship missing stays. We were standing off and on, waiting for daylight to come into Table Bay, she ran on shore on the eastern side of the Bay, opposite Green Point. We had great difficulty in saving the passengers, as the surf ran very high on the beach. I had on board five ladies, seventeen chil dren, and four gentlemen. The distress we were in when the ship struck may be more easily conceived than described. I never saw such a melancholy sight before; the sea making a fair breach over the ship : the boats, after hoisting out, were upset, and five of the crew nearly lost their lives. One man, Christopher Stevenson, in endeavouring to gain the ship from the land, was drowned."
