Letters and Papers have been received from vari ous parts of the Mediterranean to a late date. Sir }REDERICE ADAM, Lord High Commissioner, pro tempore, of the lonian Islands, has issued a Procla mation (alluded to some time since in the French Papers), in which he declares, that all boats, &c. un der the British and lonian flag, which shall be found acting against the arms of the Ottoman Porte, shall be liable to seizure by any of his MAJESTY'S cruizers, and treated as pirates ; and as vessels belonging to Cephalonia and Zante have already taken part against the Porte, those vessels are included in the order for seizure, and the crews exposed, if they do not imme diately return, to be punished for piracy. The fol lowing are extracts from the Malta Gazettes: 44 A letter from Earl Bathurst to the President of the Legislative Assembly of the United lonian States, dated May 26, in answer to an Address to the King, of the 17th March, from the same Assembly, ex presses his Majesty's satisfaction at their assurances, that the Constitution of 1817 ensures to the States a degree of peace and content superior to that possessed by them under any other anterior form of Govern ment, and also his Majesty's confidence, that so long as the Legislative Assembly shall lend its aid to main tain that Constitution inviolate, the attempts of the discontented and factious can only redound to their own ruin and disgrace. 44 A Proclamation of Major-General Sir Frederick Adam, Lord High Commissioner, pro tentpore, in the States, makes known his Majesty's full ap proval of the sentence passed by the High Court of Delegation on the 17t1i of February last, upon Anto nio Martinengo, of Zante ; but adds, that this being the first time in which the opportunity is afforded his Majesty of exercising the prerogative of pardon in cases of High Treason, and also on account of Mar tinengo's advanced age, his Majesty has been gra ciously pleased to remit that part of the sentence which regards the twelve years imprisonment, on con dition that Martinengo be banished from the States and from every part of the dominions of his Majesty for the period of three years. " And another Proclamation of the Senate of the States, after stating that certain individuals therein named, calling themselves Chiefs and Leaders of Cephalonians and Zantiots, and pretending to be act ing under the orders of a Foreign Personage, have proceeded at the head of armed persons, also lonian subjects, to take an active part in the war of the Pe loponnesus, in violation of the neutrality of the States, commands the said Chiefs to relinquish their guilty enterprise, and return to the Islands in the course of fifteen days, on pain of being considered as banished for eves• from the lonian territory, and their property confiscated ; and, should they at any time fall into 'the bands of Government, of being treated according to the provisions of the laws respecting persons ca pitally outlawed ; and as to their followers, orders them to return forthwith, in order to escape the ri gour of those measures t' which their conduct would otherwise unavoidably expose them. 44 A private letter from Madrid, of the 31st Au gust, mentions that his Majesty has directed the Council of State to submit to him the names of three persons, out of whom he intends to select a new civil Governor of Madrid, in lieu of General Copona." Yesterday letters were received from Odessa by an eminent mercantile house in the City. They are dated as far back as the 31st of August, and contain but little information, except of a commercial character. ' No movements, at all pointing to the probability of war, had taken place for some time before amongst the troops composing the Russian Army of Observa tion ; and the warlike reports that were current be fore, and immediately after, the arrival of Baron STROGOSOFE at that port, appear to have entirely died away. HOWARD AND GIBBS'S BANICRUPTCY. Yesterday, at one o'clock, Mr. MONTAGUE ad dressed the Commissioners in support of Mr. Car rol's claim of £15,207 9s. against which a petition had been presented in the Court of Chancery, on the alleged ground of usury in the dealings out of which the claim had a; isen. Mr. TRESLOVE interrupted Mr. Montague's state ment, and said that the regular course would be, in the first instance, to hear Mr. Carroll in support of his present claim. That course was adopted, and Mr. Carroll being sworn, said in his examination, that the debt he now claimed consisted of three bills of exchange; the Ist dated October '26, 1820, for £3,750, drawn by him, and accepted by Howard and Gibbs. On the 15th of September, Mr. Gibbs applied to him for a loan o f £3,750, for some pressing occasion which he had. After much entreaty and some refusal, witness ulti mately lent him the money, he (Gibbs) stating at the time it was but for a few days. Ile gave him a check on his bankers, Curtis and Co. for the amount. After a few days (about twenty-one days) had elapsed, he pressed'Mr. Gibbs for the repayment of the loan, and the latter begged of him to draw at seven days' date, and said that the bill should be punctually paid. There was no money account in any way con nected with that bill at present pending between him and Howard and Gibbs. There were two other bills to make up the whole amount of the debt. Mr .TuEstove then pressed Mr. Carroll to state whether there was not at that time an account of money dealings subsisting between Mr. Carroll and the bankrupts, called " a loan account?" Mr. Motiracus: was about to object, but Mr. Carroll replied, that there was such an account, but he came there to give information in proof upon three bills of exchange, and not to answer upon other matters unconnected therewith. Mr. TRESLOVE..-r-" Were there not two accounts between you and the bankrupts; one a loan, and the other a discount account?" Mr. MONTAGUE objected to this question, and said it was quite clear, that in this great commercial city a creditor coming to prove a debt was not bound to answer interrogatories respecting other transactions not connected with the particular subject at issue.— Admitting, merely for the sake of argument, and for that sake alone, that other transactions were polluted, as the law stood in money dealings (how long it would stand so was another question), how could that circumstance govern accounts quite of a distinct character? Mr. TRESLOVE denied that he was travelling into a distinct transaction. He wanted merely to shew that there were two subsisting accounts between the parties; not a past one, and another unconnected with the account on which the claim had arisen. Mr. POLLOCK, on the same side, contended that outstanding accounts were open to examination, whatever might be the case respecting accounts past and settled. It was of the essence of justice that all the accounts now unsettled between the parties should be open to examination. Mr. MONTAGUK contended that unless the accounts were in some degree blended together in the dealings between the parties, it was quite impossible to open them here, to throw a light upon distinct transac tions. Such a course would be quite irregular. The Commissioners overruled the objection, and thought that the question, as put by Mr. TRESLOVE, ought to be answered. Mr. Carroll, on the question being repeated, said that certainly there had been an old account, and another designated the " temporary loan account." The old account he did not go into; but neither of the accounts were settled, the first bill remaining un paid: had that been paid, the temporary loan account would have been settled. On the 15th of September, 1820, the loan account began by the advance of £3,750 in cash to Mr. Gibbs, on his promise of repay ment in a few days. The other bills were one above £5,000, and another for £3,920. The three consti tuted what he termed the " temporary loan account." There was no other loan account, and discount ac count besides what he termed the " temporary loan account." It was true, there was an old account sub sisting, which had nothing to do with the present. Mr. TaitsLova.---" When was that account last balanced'/' Mr. MONTAGUE objected to that question, on the ground that it had no reference to the present claim. The Commissioners overruled the objection, and the question was again put. Mr. Carroll replied, that he wished to he under stood as coming there expressly to prove upon three distinct bills of exchange, the full value for which he had given, free from any usurious transaction, and totally unconnected with any other matter whatever. He therefore respectfully submitted that he was fully entitled to prove these bills, without going into any other transaction he might have had with the parties. When he submitted any other claim, he should then be fully prepared to answer any questions which might be put to him. Mr. MONTAGUE again addressed the Commissioners in support of his original objection, against Mr. Treslove's examination of distinct accounts from that upon which the creditor now attended to prove. The Commissioners said that Mr. Carroll must an swer proper questions, or else the inevitable conse quence would be, he could not prove his debt. Mr. Carroll.—" I did not come here prepared to answer such questions, -nor can I now, without the advice of Counsel. I have been advised. I can tender my proof upon these bills distinct from any other transaction; and I thought on a former day you had so ruled in matters of bills of exchange. I have been already here for five days to prove this debt." Mr. Carroll was here advised by Mr. MotirAcuE to answer the question, which was again put to him, and he replied, he really had no means at present of recollecting the time when that old account was ba lanced; probably he might ascertain by reference to his books and papers; but he repeated, that such ac counts were not mixed up with the present transac tion. He did not come there, he must repeat, pre pared to answer about bills quite unconnected with these which he now tendered, and was ready to prove. The Commissioners said, that as Mr. Carroll was not prepared to answer without a reference to his accounts, or advising with his Counsel, his claim must stand over until Vie next meeting, on Saturday. An adjournment until that time then took place. SPORTING INTELLIGEPICE: NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING, 1821.

PEDESTRIANISM. _ _ _ ..... Wednesday, Weimer, the Bristol Pedestrian, walked on t part of the Birmingham road leading out of Litchfield, 50 mil •s in nine hours and twenty minutes, taking two hours and forty minutes rest. lie is on his way to the North, where he is matched fur ISO guineas a side to walk from York to Hull, ac.l back again, three successive days—the distance is 80 miles a d_y. Last week a young man was backed for twenty guineas to co sixteen miles in two hours, on a two-mile piece marked out en the Bristol road, near Gloucester, which he accomplished two minutes and a half within the given time. In consequence of a fall of thick small rain the road became so greasy for the lass ' half hour, that he ran in his stockings without shoes. The frequenters of the Royal Exchange are soon likely to be gratified with hearing their favourite tunes on the chimes, a new set having this morning been hung in the new dome. In the garden of Mr. HOARE, miller, at Great Mis senden, there is now a damson tree in full bloom—a circumstance of rare occurrence. There is now standing in a garden belonging to Mrs. DgNNETT, High -street, Portsmouth, a Burman tree, which is now in full bloom, being the second time this season. Last week, a Ling fox, weighing upwards of twenty five pounds, was taken with one of his hind legs broken, in the neighbourhood of Knockmaroon, by JOHN ARNIM, Esq. who presented it to the Royal Dublin Society. INQuests.—Monday evening an Inquest was held at St. Thomas's Hospital, on the body of J. Harris, who died in consequence of the injuries he received by being run over by a stage-coach. It appeared that two stages were rapidly driving against each other in Gracechurch-street, in the evening of last Saturday three weeks, one of which ran over the deceased while crossing the street, and broke both the bones of his left leg, and caused a contused wound in the ancle of the other leg, which latter terminated in a mortifi.- cation, and caused his death on Saturday last. Ver dict—Mateaughter against T. Dovel, the driver, and a deodand of 1-50 on the coach. An Inquisition was on Saturday held at the War- wick Arms, in Snowhill, Birmingham, on the body of Thomas Sttinger a small master bricklay er , w h o was unfortunately killed on the premises of Messrs. Tyrrell and Badams, at Ashted, on Friday last, by the fall of some masonry. The Jury, after hearing the evidence, immediately returned a verdict of Death. DESTRUCTIVS FlRES.— Sunday evening, about five o'clock, a very alarming fire broke out in the house of Mr. Barfon, oil and colourman, corner of Bow lane, High -street, Poplar. It originated in the shop, from what cause appears mysterious, as there was no person in the house at the time, the family being gone to Margate. The flames burst forth with the utmost rapidity, and soon spread throughout the en tire premises, which, from the combustible nature of the stock in trade, were, together with the latter, to tally consumed. The fire next extended its ravages to the house of Mr. Hodges, haberdasher, adjoining, which was also, with the stock in trade, reduced to ashes. The roof was burnt nearly off the house of Mr. Right, a porkman ; and it was dreaded that in calculable damage would ensue, there being a re markable scarcity of water, which circumstance of course threw the whole neighbourhood into the ut most confusion. As most commonly happens on such occasions, there was a strong muster of thieves, who, during the confusion, committed numerous depreda tions, and would in all probability ha v e ro bb e d t h e then half-distracted inhabitants of the greater part of 1 their substance, had not it been for the laudable ex ertions of Weele, the Police-officer, who, assisted by a party of the military stationed there, blockaded all the avenues leading to the scene of confusion. The fire was not got under until a late hcur. Monday afternoon, about four o'clock, a fire broke out in a newly-built house in the new Market-place, near Finsbury-square ; and but for the timely arrival of the engines, it is conjectured, from the high state of the wind, the whole row would have been destroyed. The fire was occasioned by heating some pitch in the interior of the house, which was speedily communi cated to the shavings, and thus rapilly rendered it a prey to the united elements. The house was not insured. Saturday last, after the servants had laid the cloth, and had prepared everything for dinner, at Mr.Gzu.'3, the Coroner, some villain contrived to enter the house unperceived, and decamped with a valuable service of plate, with which he escaped. Every inquiry was made after the thief, but to no purpose. Thursday, as Mr. T. SMITH, of Westgate brewery, Bath, was tapping a puncheon of rum in the cellar of the New Inn, Rivers. street, part of the spirit escaped, and communicating to a lighted candle, he was in an instant enveloped in flames! With the utmost forti tude and presence of mind, however, he persevered in tapping the cask, and thus prevented the house being blown up, and the fatal consequences that must have ensued. Mr. SMITH afterwards easily disen gaged himself from his ignited clothes, and though he was very much burnt, he escaped dangerous injury. CORN EXCIIANOX, MARK -taus, OCTOBIR t.—We have had but few fresh arrivals of aay graih since Monday; but a large quart. tiny of Wheat remained over from that day s supply, for which the demand was bet trifling this morning; yet fine samples of new and old supported that darsprices, but the inferior qua. lities were unsaleable. Oats fully maintain the prices of Mon. I day. In Barley, Peas, and Beans, there is no alteration. A
