bers of foreign Officers are repairing to Moldavia to offer their services to Prince Ypsilanti. CRAJOWA, MARCH se. A great number of Greeks have perished in a san guinary battle, fought near Rudshuck, a town in Bulgaria, containing about 30,000 inhabitants. It is not only certain that the Turkish fortress of Galacz has fallen into the hands of the Greeks, but we also learn that they have taken more than SO Turkish vessels on the Danube, all the crews of which they put to death with the exception of 86 men. According to letters (Tom Bucharest, dated the 15th of March, Ypsilanti was expected there on the 19th at the latest. The Turks have retired into the fortresses of Rudshuck and Ibrailow. IRUN, APRIL 23. . The symptoms of an approaching change are shew• ing themselves in all the provinces of the Peninsula. As if by enchantment, a new partisan, who is said to be at the head of 1000 armed. men, appeared on the 20th at Salvatierra, four leagues from Vittoria. The National Guard of that town proceeded against the rebels, knd a sharp action took place. After an bour's fighting, the National Guard was compelled to yield to superior numbers, and surrender them selves prisoners of war, with the exception of four • men. These four men, on their return, spread con sternation at Vittoria, and all the National Guards of the three provinces of Biscay were called out. On the 22d And '23d all the roads were covered with them. The Guards of San Sebastian, Irun, Tolosa, and Bilboa were marched towards Vittoria. We are in evectation of further results, but this event has spread alarm throughout the whole country. Private letters from Valladolid state, that there is another strong Guerilla in Old Castile. This party was, on the 19th, at Rio Seco. • • Holy Thursday had nearly proved a day of mourn ing for this country. Every year a solemn proces sion takes place on that day throughout the whole of Spain. The Authorities take a part in this ceremony and the presence of the Sovereign is never dispensed with. The populace, perceiving that the King did not appear in the procession, manifested dissatisfac tion in a way calculated to excite apprehension of the greatest evils. It was found necessary to sur round the Royal residence with all the troops of the Line and the Militia. It was announced that the King was prevented by indisposition from attending to the ceremony. It is now four o'clock in the afternoon, and the in land post, which is usually in by nine in the morn ing, has not yet arrived. The Journals are, therefore, wanting. FRONTIERS OF MOLDAVIA, APRIL 1. According to the latest accounts, the greatest un easiness prevails at tucharest, in consequence of the Turks leaving their fortresses and approaching the capital of Wallachia. Many persons are leaving the country. Yesterday one of the principal personages of Moldavia departed for Jassy. VIENNA, APRIL 9. The Aulic Council of War has issued orders for the march of further corps of troops as speedily as possible to Italy. Our garrison is not numerous at present, but it is to be reinforced by some regiments from Bohemia. Sever al towns in Upper and Lower Austria are left without garrisons. They are guarded by the Landwehr, part of which force is rendered moveable. MADRID, APRIL 19. This day being Holy Thursday, the King made preparations for visiting the churches in great pomp, as is usually done every year. The garrison was ac cordingly drawn out under arms. Suddenly contrary orders were given, and it was announced that the King, having been for some days indisposed, was at last obliged to confine himself to his bed. A report was then circulated that the Ministers had received alarming news relative to the safety of the. King's person. One fact is certain, that two men were last night arrested in the Court of the Palace. APRIL 16. The Mail from France and Biscay has not arrived, and according to a notice posted up in the Nst-office, it has been intercepted between Madrigalejo andLerma. APRIL 17. It is said that the Government has dispatched to day an express with orders to Major-General Don J. Makin el Empecinado, to take under his command the detachments destined to pursue the robber Me rino, and the deluded persons whom he has seduced. This factious band is surrounded on all sides in the province of Burgos, from which it cannot escape, and where these factious men will receive the punish ment due to their crimes. The National Militia, in all the distriCts, have manifested, on this occasion, the horror they feel at these wicked men, who aim at destroying the Constitutional System, and think to make the nation happy by plunging it in all the hor rors of civil war. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE PARIS, APRIL 30. . I have obtained information, on which you may implicitly rely, that two Ordinances have this day received the sign manual, which elevate the Ex-Mi nister Abbe Montesquieu, and the Count de Blacas, to the rank of Dukes. Several military promotions will take place in consequence of the baptism of the Duke of Bourdeaux ; but I have not heard the name of any new Marshal, though Count Rapp has a good deal of that 'anxious and smirking air which gene rally portends an accession of dignity. A great sensation has been excited to-day by the King's re-appearance in public after his long seclu sion. His Majesty left his palace at about half-past one in an open carriage, and proceeded amidst the loudest acclamations of an immense concourse of peo ple to the Champ de Mars, where he reviewed all the troops now in Paris, consisting of at least 20,000 men. His Majesty appeared in excellent health and spirits, and went through the fatigue of the review, which lasted fOur hours, without any sympton of pain or lassitude. His reception indeed was such as could not fail to animate and delight him. The Count d'Artois and the Duke of Angouleme accompanied him on horseback; and the Duchesses of Angou leme and Berri were in his carriage with the infant Duke of Bourdeaux. I have very little political news for you : the last accounts from Italy state, that the King of Naples arrived at Rome on the Wednesday before Easter Sunday, and was expected to remain there for a week. A Decree has been published at Naples, appoint ing' four Committees of Censorship and Superia tendence over the conduct of Ministers of the Church, of all.persons connected with the Press, or with education, whether in public or private schools; of all persons employed in judicial offices of what ever class they may be; and lastly, of all persons em ployed in any public Administration, of whatever nature. This is political jealousy with a vengeance! Intelligence of some interest relative to the contest between the Turks and the Greeks in the Noma has been received from Pail as. We collect the details from letters direct from that place, and from pas sages in the mercantile correspondence both from Trieste and Leghorn. It appears that a perfect un derstanding existed, between the northern and south ern provinces of Greece, and that a day was to be fixed by the Leaders in the north for a general rising in the Morea against the Turks. Two Messengers, charged with this important mission, arrived at Pa tras in the beginning of the last month ; and the Leaders of the Greeks had determined, in conse quence of the instructions communicated to them, that the Turks should be attacked on the sth or 6th. By the treachery, however, of some individuals who were in the secret, their intention became known to the Turks, whose force being inadequate to the re si,tance of an insurrectionary spirit in the whole po pulation, they retired into the citadel and fortified themselves in that position. Gaining confidence from the apparent tranquillity of the tcnva, they shortly afterwards ventured out of their entrenchments, and committed some acts of aggression against the houses of those inhabitants who were suspected of acting a conspicuous part in the designs for the sub version of the Turkish power. Among these was the Palace of the Bishop, which was set on fire and de stroyed. These outrages filled the Greeks with in dignation : they collected in large numbers, and making a desperate onset on the Turks, drove them back with considerable loss into the citadel. In that situation the town remained when the accounts came away. The Turkish garrison were cannonading the town from the citadel ; and as the Greeks were not in possession of any artillery, there was no prospect of their being able to make any impression on it be fore the arrival of reinforcements to the Turks should render all further resistance unavailing. A flail arrived at a late hour this forenoon, with Brussels Papers to the Ist instant. The following are extracts: BRUSSELS, APRIL 29. It is stated that his Grace the Duke of Wellington is expected very shortly at Belgium. He is said to •be entrusted with a very important mission to the Government of the Netherlands, and that he will likewise visit the fortresses of the kingdom. We learn that the French Police has sent to all the Northern frontiers of the kingdom, the description of several Piedmontese, with orders to arrest them wherever they may be found. The Swiss Journals say, that traces of a plot have been discovered at the same time in the Isle of Elba, at Florence, and at Leghorn ; but the arrest of seve ral persons has disconcerted the plan. One of the , conspirators, who was going from Leghorn, on learn ing the arrest of his accomplices, killed himself, by throwing himself from the fourth story. A journal, speaking of various arrests that have taken place at Florence, relates with the same cir cumstances the suicide of a person of distinction, which would lead to a belief that the same person is Meant. The statement is as follows: " Though the Duke of Tuscany is beloved as well for his popularity as for the mildness of his govern ment, yet symptoms of discontent have shewn them selves here, caused partly by the fear lest Austria should extend its arbitrary power over all Italy, partly by a desire to see the public welfare confirmed by Constitutional guarantees. The result has been the arrest of some persons of inferior note, and of seve ral subaltern Officers. The latter have been dismissed from their regiments, and obliged to quit the terri tory Of the Grand Duke. As for the others, they have been imprisoned, and Count 13aldini, who was of the number, has killed himself t,y leaping from the window of his prison. A Priest has also been arrested Oil man of great merit, who always drew a numerous auditory when he preached at the Church of the Holy Cross.• But every idea of a conspiracy in a country like this is an absurdity r THE FUNDS.

Plt EVENtIVE SERVICE. Yesterday, a public examination of the men charged with the murder of Mr. S::ow, of the Preventive Service, took place at Bow-street Office, before liknahn thaw, Esq. the Sitting Ma gistrate. The prisoners are five in number, three having been admitted evidences for the Crown. Their names are Jane's West, WiMans Beer, John Richardson, Thomas Richardson, and William Williams. David North, Quartermaster of the Severn, employed on the Preventive Service, deposed to the circumstances of the outrage, in consequence of which Mr. inow was killed. He stated, that after that Officer was hemmed in by the smugglers, he attempted to get to his assistance, but such a heavy fire was kept up, that he found it impossible, and was obliged to retreat. George Griffiths (an accomplice) swore, that on Monday evening, the 50th of April, he was engaged by the prisoner, James West, to assist in" working" (the phrase for runaing the cargo) a boat that night at Ilerne Bay. Witness and a great number of other persons met that evening, afterwards at the Grove Ferry, between Canterbury and the lteculvers, and pro ceeded from thence to the house of the prisoner, John Richard son, where guns and pistols were distributed amongst them, with about seven or eight rounds of ball-cartridges to each armed man. It was arranged, that those who were armed, should cover those who were not, while they worked the goods, which were to be put intywo carts, provided for the purpose. There were about 60 men in all of their party. They then proceeded to the appointed spot, in a meadow, at the back of some houses, at Herne Bay. and arrived there at about a quarter before three o'clock on Tuesday morning. Shortly after, the boat landed, and at the same time witness saw two men, who he believed were of the Preventive Service, standing a few yards from them, and he saw one of them snap a pistol twice, but it did not go off. His party then fired, and the marlin had seen snap the piaol drew his cutlaas, and rushed in amongst them, and witness saw no more of him—(This is supposed to be Mr. Snow).—They ef fected a landing of sixty tubs of spirits, which were conveyed away in carts; all the prisoners were present. The witness, in answer to a question from Mr. Maim, said, he fired himself six or seven times, but only with powder. Ile tore the bullet from each of his eartridges—Olere the prisoners were observed to smile, as if in astonishment.l James Smith, another accomplice, stated nearly the same facts as the last witness. Ile admitted, that he said nothing about the matter until he was ifi custody. Edward Wyman, also a party in the affray, was next called, and described the plans of the smugglers more minutely than the others. •By his statement, it would appear that they are quite systematical in their operations, and act almost with the pre cision of disciplined men. It was, he said, agreed upon that they should proceed to the spot in small bodies, by different roads, and to arrive there precisely at the same period, and the armed men were then to form into two bodies of equal number, and to fall, one to the tight and the other to the left of the place t.f landing, and those without arms were to work the goods under their protection. The landing of the goods was effected in this manner, a constant firing bring kept up. After the boat had pushed off , witness saw a man lying on his back upon the beach, and called out to him " halloo, and he replied, " lam a dead man." Witness did not stop to assist him, but men.. tioned it afterwards to his companions, who said, " it was only sham." James West was the master of the company, and paid witness seven shillings for his night's work. He fired twice or three times himself. Mr. Joan, the Solicitor for the Admiralty, then requested that the prisoners might be remanded for a week, observing, that his 31ajesty's Law Officers had not yet determined whether they should be prosecuted for the murder, or under the Statute for unlawfully assembling with arms, &c. Mr. Haassza— Here is not much to affect them under either charge. Mr. Jones—That is for the Jury to determine, Mr. Harmer. 11r. Halmos—You have only the evidence of three fellows who were themselves carrying arms. Mr. Junes—Pray, Mr. Harmer, who told you that ; in law, are they not good witnesses? .. Mr. Hwamsa—l know perfectly weU they are competent ; but as to their credit— Mr. Jorms—On that, I say, the Jury will decide. Mr. Burls: then ordered that the prisoners should be brought up again on Thursday next. The proceedings at Guildhall yesterday, skew that the forgers of LI Bank of England notes are unusu ally active in the issue of their base trash, as their reign appears to be drawing towards a conclusion. The Public would, therefore, do well to pay particular attention to all the notes offered to them. As to the immediate circulators, they have our pity mingled with our reprobation. But we confess that it appears to us almost incredible, that proper industry would not lead to the discovery of the prime villains, the forgers, themselves; more particularly now, when their agents are not only so numerous and likewise so indiscreet, either through youth or long impunity. Six individuals were yesterday brought up at one Public Office only, for the crime of issuing forged notes. It must surely be possible to trace the articles of which so many agents are the venders or circulators, to their origi nal source. It would be a most happy conclusion of this small note currency, if a whole horde of the vil lains who have been so long, and we fear so lucra tively, employed in forging them, could be brought to the gallows. The ghosts of those who have died in their service call for such a saciifi‘e. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The ground on which the performance took place, was from the eleven mile stone, through Croydon, to the eighteen mile stone. The rider, a boy, was thrown, and th e horse went nearly a mile beyond the boundaries; but the boy, unhurt, , mounted again, and completed the much, about :3 miles, in four minutes and a half within the given time. Th e horse, however, was much distressed. BOXING. At the heel of the evening, after Epsom Races, on Wedney. day, to complete the sports of the day, an endeavour was made to knock up a fight, Oliver, Purcell, and Scroggins being pry. sent, but the countrymen, bring awake, would not rake the brit.
