cr ~'i Icr: r.:• ler had no duty to perform, the country ihou!ti not pay hire I:500 a-year, and he prayed the attention of the Irish Secretary to it. Mr. GRANT said, that this was one of the situa tions granted under the Act of 1797, and it became extinct on the death of the present possessor. Sir 11. WILSON again pres-ed upon the House the necessity of adjourning the debate; on the propriety of which a conversa tion arose between the Marquis of LoNpoNDICRILY, Mr. Hums, Mr. MONCIC, Mr. Di.01:01IAM, Mr. ARLUTHNOT, and :W. 110. lIINSON ' when it was finally agreed that the further consideratiod of the Report should he adjourned till to-morrow. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Qu2rter to One eCiock. taken with arms in their bands. Snch persons are left at liberty, upon bail, and pursue their occupa tions without molestation ; but the greatest rigour is shewn to the armed Hetarists. Thus on the 2d of June, ten of Ypsilanti's armed band were taken in a village, and executed in their black uniforms, at the end of the bridge that leads to the Turkish camp. Two Creeks of Bucharest, who had taken part in the rebellion experienced the same fate. The Caimacans of the new appointed Prince Calli machi had not yet arrived at Bucharest. Crajowa is already occupied by the troops of the Paeha of Widdin, which push their advanced posts along the River Alata, in the neighbourhood of Rionnite. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON• FRIDAY,. JUNE 29, 1821. ST. Pk-rim —Holiday at the Bank. According to the testimony of an eye-witness, Theodore, soon after his arrival at Pitescht; was sur- prised by Captain Jordali, arrested and conducted in chains, with a strong escort, to Ypsilanti, at Tergowitz. At Constantinople, the Government was incessantly occupied with armaments to suppress the insurrection, and to destroy the Greek ships that infest the Archi. pelago. Morali Pacha had gone with about 12,000 men to Romelia : he is said to have orders to enter' Wallachia by way of Rudschuck. Cara Feizi, one of the few Ayams of Romelia, had received the com mand of 7000 men, with which he is to join the Pacha of Widdin, and advance towards Crajowa.— On the ISth, another division of the Turkish fleet put I to sea, consisting of one 71, three frigates, and three brigs. These, and a ship of the line which sailed on the 25th May, after taking in the ammunition, &c. at St. Stephano and Gallipoli, sailed to the Dardanelles. They are said to be fine vessels, and well equipped, but have not sufficient men, the rebellion of the Greeks having deprived the Government of the best sailors. The Admiralty had enlisted sailors of all nations, who receive three months pay in advance. The Nouse of Commons were last night chiefly oc cupied with the Report of the Committee of Supply. Tie only division which took place was on the sub ject of the grant to General DESFOURNEAtn, for losses atising out cf the occupation of Guadaloupe by Sir C. Gan', in l7eJl•. Agreeably to the recommenda tion of a Special Committee, which had examined into the General's claim, the sum of £20,000 bad been voted to him in the Committee of Supply.— Mr. GIIENTELL now moved, that the grant should be reduced to £3,500, and was supported by Mr. PEEL, Mr. CA I.CR r, and other Members. Mr. Iftvoio, who was Chairmain of the Committee on General DESPOUR NEA UN'S claims, contended that loss to the amount of the greater sum propcsed had been satisfactorily established. Mr. T.INs LsoN, Mr. M ANS• }Ham, and Mr. K. DOUGLAS, were of the same opi nion. On a division, however, taking place, the Re solution for voting 1.'.'20,0(X) was negatived by a majority of 53 against 6. Lord BINNING then moved that the sum should be £5,000; but, on a second division taking place, Mr. GRENFELL ' S Amendment, for granting only £3,500, was carried by a majority of 41 against PI Some importance attaches to this grant, from the interest which we observe it has excited on the other side of the Channel. The Constitutionnd, when con gratulating France en the. liberality which our Com mittee of Supply had shewn in voting £20,000, sub joined the following paragraph : " We seize this circumstance to call to mind that General Desfourneaux was not the only person who suffered losses by this occupation. Several manufacturers of arms, and merchants of Marseilles, worthy of the entire consideration of our Government, saw the merchandize which they had deposited in the stores at Guadaloupe and Martinique pass into the hands of the English.— An inventory was made of them by the English, and their value, which amounted to more than four millions (of francs), ought to have beta restored at the peace to these manufacturers and merchants; hut they have received nothing. If compensation has been made to the French Government for this value, no doubt these merchants have a right to be reimbursed by the Treasury of France—if, however, the English Government has not accounted for this value to France, these merchants ought, like General Desfourneaux, to address the Parliament of Great Britain. Their cause is too just not to find lasics to support it, and Representatives to act rightly by them." The Turkish Government had received very satis- factory accounts from the Morea; and hopes were entertained that the insurrection in that quarter would be put down. Great enormities are said to have been committed here on both sides. Patras has been almost destroyed by the Turks ; and the inhabitants have been executed in great numbers. All the lonians who had been Vice-Consuls to the Northern Powers, and had befriended the Insurgents, had fled. But the English Functionaries remained at their post, faithful to their charge. Vistizio, Argo, Corinth, and the other principal places, were in the possession of the Turks; and their ascendancy throughout the Morea was established. The Turks have been guilty of great atrocities ; but the Greeks, it is said, set them the example, and even surpassed them in bloodthirsty cruelty. The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived this forenoon. They contain no domestic news of any interest, and no other foreign intelligence than that which we have already extracted from the Austrian Observer, Five per Cents. Monday, 86fr. 70c. It is now rumoured, that from the present state of public business before both Houses of Parliament, the Commons will adjourn on Tuesday next for a few days, to afford the Lords time to proceed with the Bills that may have passed the Lower House ; that the Commons will re-assemble on the succeeding Friday, to receive Messages from the House of Peers as to the fate of the several Bills sent up to them ; and that both Houses will be prorogued about the Wl' or 10th of next month. . The ensuing prorogation of Parliament will be by Commission. The state of Palace-yard, and the neighbourhood of bah Ilon-es, in consequence of the extensive 'preparations making for the Corona tion, will prevent hi. MAJE4TY from exercising this prerogative in person. V extract from the Austrian Observer the follow-1 ing interesting particulars respecting the progress of, :be war between the Turks and Greeks : On the 3d of June the head-quarters of the Turk ish which has entered Wallachia, under the command of Iladschi Ahmet Pacha, were in Calen tina, without the city, where there was a camp of 22,000 men, the half of which consists of cavalry. The corps was to proceed against the rebels in a few days. It seems that it was intended to wait for .lussuf Paella, of Ibrailow, who is engaged in clear ing Moldavia of the insurgents, and is stated to have immediately occupied Jassy, in order to act with their united forces against Ypsilanti, who is still in his posi tion at Tergowitz, and seems disposed to occupy it himself, with his corps of insurgents, which is stated to consist of 10,000 men. Bucharest itself was occupied by about five hundred Turkish troops, under the command of Baschbeschil Aga Tehir, an Albanian ; they were stationed in the two strong forts of the city, the Metropolitan resi dence, and the Monastery of Radylawda. Perfect order prevailed in the whole city, and the public peace had not been a moment interrupted. All the inhabi tants, bo;h ►;atives and foreigners, are disarmed: the first are obliged to deliver up their arms to a Corn- mime appointed for the purpose ; the latter to their respective Consuls. On the other hand, the Turkish Commander has caused several Turks to be hanged and beheaded, who had been guilty of excesses. All persons, even those individuals who are accused fl having I,cen connected with the rebels, are treated with the greatest lenity, provided they have not been THE ARMY. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. A King's cutter is so be stationed In the Solway rrith, for the prevention of smuggling, carried on then• to a great extent. The frigate La Pronte has arrived at Cadiz from Vera Cruz and the Hevannab, in 39 days, with ten millions of dollars, four millions of gold, and one hundred marks in silver. The Endracht, Dawes, from Dantzic to Amsterdam, was lost on the 10th instant, on the coast of Pomerania. The Twee Gebroeders, Terse, from Norway to Enkusten, was lost near Ameland, on the I Sth instant.

The reports which have been recently so current respecting a change in Administration have now taken the following shape :—Mr. CANNING, it is said, goes to the Admiralty, where Mr. STURGES BOURNE is to be the new Secretary. Lord MELVILLE re moves to the Home Department, and Lord Sin- MOUTH to the Presidency of the Council. Lord HAR ROWBY, whose health is said to be exceedingly im paired, and who has long expressed a wish to retire from office, is going to remain for some time on the Continent. Mr. HusittssoN removes to the Board of Controul, with a seat in the Cabinet; and Mr. Cacnuta tales the Woods and Forests. " Admiralty Office, June 28. " Sta--Having laid before my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty your letter of yesterday's date, stating, that in con sequence of the long prevalence of North and North-Easterly winds, numerous vessels from the Southward and AVestward are prevented from getting into the Channel, and that it is feared that many of them may be in want of provisions and water; I ant commanded by their Lordships to acquaint you, for the in formation of the Committee for Managing the Affairs of Lloyd's, that their Lordships have directed the Admirals commanding at Plymouth and Cork to give orders to their cruisers for sup plying water and provisions to vessels under the circumstances above mentioned.—l am, Sir, &e. (Signed) "J. Bassow." BERLIN THEATRICALS. EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER, DATED 17TH MAY, 1821. " On Monday last (14th May), M. Seowitires new Opera was performed. An uncommon degree of expectation haying been ex cited, by the length of time it had been in preparation, the Muse was crowded to excess. This Opera (Olympla)hai been previously performed at Paris, but has undergone a total change in the hands of the Composer since his arrival in Berlin. The decorations, dresses, &c. surpassed in splendour all that had been seen here to this day; and it is said . that the expenses were more consider able than at any of the previous operatic performances. The Composer was himself at the piano, and was, at the end of the performance, called forward, when a wreath of laurel dropt from one of the boxes, which be took up, and returned thanks in German. The King and the whole Royal Family were pre sent. The Opera is full of fine things, but the music rather noisy, so that, I believe, it cannot be performed without the as sistance of a very large band. The Ballets were uncommonly splendid, and M. Seosivntes music to them is both appropriate and original. Mad. MILDSII, our first singer, and bI. M. BADE& and Weave sustained the principal parts with great ability, while our Band supported them with equal skill and delicacy. " The new Playhouse is to be opened on the 26th, and Iplti stain, one of GOITHIt'S best dramatic productions, and the Fairy of Ike Rose.; a Ballet (the idea of which is said to have been suggested by one of the first personages in Court), are se lected for the opening. A Prologue, by Gonna will:precede them. The Theatre is similar to that of the Opera, but more comfortable, and admirably calculated for the performance of Comedy and Ballets, the machinery being one of the most com plete that can be found." Yesterday the Marquis of LONDONDERRY had an audience of his MAJESTY, at his Palace in Pall-mall. The KING received visits yesterday from the Du chess of GLOUCESTER, and the Princesses AUGUSTA and Soenta. Wednesday the Duchess of GLOUCESTER and the Princess AUGUSTA, dined with the Duke and Du chess of CLARENCE. Yesterday the Princess AUGUSTA rode out in an open carriage, accompanied by Mrs. EGERTON. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE rode to Ken sington yesterday, on a visit to the Duchess of KENT. The Corporation of the City of Dublin have voted an unanimous Address to his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, expressing their warm and grateful feelings for the part which his Royal Highness took in the debate upon the Catholic Relief Bill, when before the House of Lords, and requesting that he would condescend to sit for his picture, to be placed in the Mansion-house of the Chief Magistrate of the City. Yesterday the remains of Mr. Fo RBES were removed from his house in Fitzroy-square, for interment, with great funeral pomp. The procession was preceded by six men on horseback, the hearse with six horses, Mr. FORBES'S carriage entirely muffled with black cloth, aid the horses with velvet. Forty-three pri vate carriages followed. The body was conveyed to St. James's Chapel, Hampstead-road, where it lay in state this day, and to-morrow it will set out for the family vault in Aberdeenshire. Wednesday se'nnight, a hearse and six, followed by two mourning coaches, and containing the remains of the late Earl of STAIR, arrived at Dumfries, on its way to the family vault, near Stranraer. It was near the evening when the hears^rrived at Dumfries. The pertons accompanying it halted a night in the town, and the body lay in state in one of the rooms of the King's Arms Inn. THE KING'S SECOND LETTER.—Much speculation has been afloat ever since the publication of this cu rious production, as to its real Author : on this sub ject, the Independent Observer, of the 24th of June, says, " that the Author of this Second Letter from the King is either a Member of the Cabinet, or one of its numerous retainers, there can be little doubt." Mrs. Conn, with her usual liberality, is said to have sent bliss STI7HLX9 a Bank-note for £5O, accompanied with a mag nificent watch and costly appendages, as a remembrance, for her Benefit. The new portico of Drury-Lane Theatre is to be illuminated by three gas lamps pendent from the ceiling, with circular ornaments over them. The lanterns are painted light green. CmeNGEA—Nothing can be more proper than some of the reported changes in the Ministry : Mr. Cro(a)ker is to be sent into the Woods and Forests; and the Gen tleman who has so long had the Royal Timber under his charge, is to be converted into a Cabinet 'Minister WILL OP THE LATE EARL OF CARHAMPTON• Probate of the Will of the late Right Hon. HEN Rif LA WLESS, Earl of CARHAMPTON, was granted by the Prerogative Court in Doctors' Commons on the 30th ult. to Sir;THos. BROOK ES PECUELL, Bart. and NICHO• LAS CALVERT, Esq. two of the Executors ; power being reserved to the Countess Dowager, the relict, the other Executor. His Lordship's plantation and all other property in the Island of Jamaica which is subject to the life interest of his brother and his wife, he has devised after their death to his nephew, Cap tain MORI AR TY ; and in case of his death, to his niece, the lion. ELIZA DAwsoN, her husband, and chil dren. All other property, both real and personal, is left to the Countess, excepting only complimentary bequests to the executors, and his Lordship's estates at Paine's-hill, in the county of Surrey, and at Chel sea, in which she is to have but a life interest ; the former being directed to be sold at her Ladyship's decease, and 2-3ds of the produce given to his said niece and her husband, with benefit of survivor ship, and, at the death of the survivor, to their children ; the remaining third is left to Captain MORIARTY, unless the Couiftess should otherwise dispose of it, which she is enabled to do.

The preparations in the Abbey, under the direc tions of the Earl Marshal, are proceeding with the greatest rapidity ; and the official details, under the inspection of Sir GEoRGE NAYI.ER and Mr. WOOD, are equally in an advanced state. In order to prevent any interruption to the work mea in the Abbey, the Earl Marshal has resolved to exclude all strangers until the arrangements shall be complete; every possible facility will then be afforded to gratify the Public. The entire band of Gentlemen Pensioners are to attend the Coronation of his MAJESTY. Summonses have been issued for the Knights Com manders of the Bath, whose appearance will greatly add to the splendour of the solemnity, their tinder dress being similar to that of the Knights Grand Crosses. We have great pleasure in announcing this circumstance, as, by the noble achievements of these individuals,.in the late war, they have fully entitled themselves to this proud distinction. STEWART MARJORIBANKS, Esq. one of the Barons in Parliament for Hythe, and WILLIAM Dams, Esq. are elected Barons from that Port, to support the Royal Canopy at the ensuing Coronation. The Coronation of his MAJESTY will be celebrated at Bristol by a Grand Ball at the Mansion House, a General Illumination and other festivities. Similar preparations are making in all the adjoining towns. At a Meeting held at Leeds cn Monday week, is was resolved that the Corporation should dine toge ther on the day of his MAJESTY'S Coronation; and that all the Clergy of the Parish, the Officers of the 15th Hussars, of the Recruiting Staff, of the Yeo manry, and of the Volunteers, should be invited. THE CORONATION. COMMON COUNCIL. A Court of Common Council was held yesterday at Guildhall, in consequence of a Requisition to con sider the propriety of rescinding the Order for in scribing the Resolution of the 13th of July last, re spectipg assembling a Military Force' during the Meeting of a Common Hall, under the Statue of Mr. Alderman BECKFORD. In consequence of the continued indisposition of the LORD MAYOR, Sir C. S. HUNTER, Bart. was ap pointed locum - teuent, and presided accordingly. Sir C. S. HUNTER laid before the Court a letter from Mr. Alderman BRIDGES, addressed to the LORD Mayon, upon the subject of the Requisition, which being read, OLDHADI introduced the business in a speech of considerable length, and concluded by moving a Resolution for rescinding the order directing the said Resolution to be put up in the Guildhall, and also the instructions of the last Court to the Committee of City Lands to proceed with the original motion. A long discussion ensued, in the course of which the conduct of Alderman BRIDGES was not justified ; but it was contended that enough had been done by the publicity which had already been given to the unanimous Resolution of censure passed by the Court. On the shew of hands being taker, a very great majority appeared in favour of rescinding the motion; a division was demanded, and the numbers were as follow : For rescinding the Resolution: Locums Tomtit 1; Aldermen 12; Commoners 84 ; Tellers 2—E9 Against it - Alderman 1; Commoners 39 ; Tellers 2-42 Majority for rescinding the Resolution - 57.

The LORD CHANCELLOR answered—' My Lord, be of good cheer, for now you shall see the bottom of your business first.'" Our Guardians of the Public Purse have inverted this mode of proceeding, but if not at first, they have at last arrived at this, fundamentalfeatere of their office. LEASES AND TITLE DEEDS.—Dr. JOHNSON has ob served, that deeds and bonds are the greatest possible libels on the honesty of mankind. "In times past," says SruanEs, "when men dealt uprightly, and in the fear of Gon, five or seven lines were sufficient foe the assurance of any piece of land whatsoever ;pose 40, 60, 100, 200, 500, nay, a whole skin of parch ment, and sometimes two or three skips of parchment will hardly serve." Firm—Wednesday afternoon, a fire broke out in Neale paper-mill, in the Parish of Bradnincb, Devon, the property of Mr. Jour.; DEVIDNET. The flames raged with great fury, and were not got under until the whole of the extensive manufactory, toge ther with a large stock of paper, &c. several• out buildings, and upwards of 200 bushels of wheat, were consumed; the dwelling-hot:se is also nearly destroyed. The property is insured, but in a sum far short of the loss sustained. By this accident sixty persons are thrown out of employment. We have not heard by what cause the fire originated. CORN ExcHmtod, Mmtx-I.Are, Jura 29.—1 n consequence of superabundant supplies of Wheat and the favourableness of the weather, a very great depression in sales has taken place, and what trifling quantity was got off to-day was at a decline of Ss. per. quarter from Monday's pukes, on_ the finest samples; but there was not the least demand fur inferior qualities.
