ILFRACOMU, AUGUST 13.—The following is the copy of a paper found in a bottle that was washed on shore on the 29th ult. in Rnckham Bay, about four miles to the West of this harbour: " This bottle was thrown overboard from the brig Albert, R. L. Boom-sow .Master, in lat. 47. 20 N. long. 22 West, on 24th january, 1822, she being on her passage from Virginia to Eng land, 27 days out. Should this be picked up, the finder will confer a favour by giving it publicity in the public Papers, as it may be the means of ascertaining the drift or current, should there be any here. " R. L. ROBERTSON." Itlem.—there was another paper in the bottle,„ signed J. • Rasmus. This forenoon we received a German %11, bring ing Frankfort Papers to the 31st ult. Their contents are of little importance. An article from Muni& mentions a Decree of the KING of BAVARIA, for re-' gulating the trade with Wirtemberg and from Ge noa, we are told of the friendly relations between that Power and the Turks. The following are the only al tidies worth extracting : ODESSA, JULY 7. S The news of the destruction of the Capitan Pacha has excited the most enthusiastic joy here, and it is not doubted but this event will have the most bene ficial consequences for the Greeks ; but it may be imagined what an impression it will make on the mind of the Sultan; we must he prepared for hor rible excesses. _ _ The extirpation of the Greeks, which was resolved upon, and which was to be accomplished under the cover of an amnesty, and, as it were, sanctioned by the European Ambassadors, has opened the eyes of the Greeks. An amnesty and laying down their arms would be certain death. The Turks will often repeat the scenes at Scio. Thus we have still unfavourable accounts of the state of Constantinople after the reception of that bad news ; but we have no accounts by sea, as not a ves sel from the capital has arrived for several days. FRANKFORT, JULY 28. The Princess Frederica Vitoria, youngest daughter of the late Duke of Nassau Ufingen, died on the 18th at Biberich, aged 38 years.

General Dearborn, our Ai iba3sador to Portugal, will take his passage for Europe in the new ship Spartan, on the 9th instant. -~: • {. ,~ h . , • The dress of the Real Archers will be most beau -401 ; the general Ftitliiie of it is iiioposed to be a tartan •surtout, reaching nearly to the kneeerwith sleeves slishell with green, tartan trews and stekiliblts‘ ,and bra& rosettes in the shoes; a white satin, ,case across the body, a Robin Hood's belt, a cap wii4 an eagle's feather; and white gloves, teliehitig hag: way up the arm, and ruffs round the neck. They will meet the KING at his landing, and proceed with him to Holytood . House. it is expected that his MAJESTY will visit the teleti r ' versity, and with this view the workmen are empIOYRIP in clearing the interihr of the square, of tfie scaffold: ing used by the masons, and in preparing galleries for spectators, which are to be erected against dread buildings on the south side of the square. The Peers of Scotland are to give a Ball in the As sembly Rohms, lot which four hundred ticketi will be issued, and for which the most splendid prepara tions are making, under. the management of a Com mittee of the Peers. The R 97111 Society, the Merchant Company, and the Chamber_ of Commerce of Edinburgh. have re solved to present Addresses to his MAJESTY..• The Hon. WILLIAM MAULS, M.P. for Forfarshire, has sent for his . Ma,itirris table, teu fat bucks, from his park at Panmure. The Members of all the Universities in Scotland will attend•in Edinburgh, in order to be presented to the KING in separate bodies. We apprehend it is not generally understood, that it is through the Royal Scottish line that our &ye- REIGN is descended from the Saxon Kings of Eng land. MALCOLM CANMORE, who was crowned at Scone, April 25, 1057, married MARGARET, grand niece of EDWARD the Confessor, and their posterity have reigned over Scotland more than seven centuries. We need scarcely remind our readers, that in the sacred person of his Majesty King GEoaus IV. they hail a descendant of the first of Scotia's heroes, King ROBERT BRUCE, and of which descent his MAJESTY is greatly and justly proud. Tuesday, the Town Council of Aberdeen resolved, that a . deputation of their number shall proceed to Edinburgh, in order to present an Address of Con gratulation, to his tb,..rxsrv, on his arrival in hi s ancient kingdom of Notland. The Town Council of Dundee, on Wednesday last, voted an Address to the KING, and appointed a de putation to present it to his MAJESTY, when he holds his Court at Edinburgh. The Magistrates of - Mor.trose, on Wednesday last, voted a Loyal Address to his MAJESTY, to be pre dicted on the occasion of his visit to Scotland. CARLE, NOW THE KING'S COME!

A letter from Rio Janeiro, dated May 17th, states that Sir T. HARDY arrived there in the CREOLE, from Valparaiso and Lima, on the 13th, and that the AURORA, 46, Captain H. PIERCE, C.B. was to leave on the 20th, to go round Cape Horn, and assume the command in the Pacific. The Levee, 28, Captain OWEN, and tAItitACOLITA, 10, Capt. Cinema, had arrived from England, and purchased a vessel, as a tender to these surveying vessels, to carry eighteen months provisions. These.ships left Tenerife on the '224 March, touched at Sal, St. Vincent, St. Nicholas, and St. J ago (Cape de Verd Islands); left the latter on the 3d of April, and crossed the Equatoron the 15th. Lieutenant REITZ, of the Baartecouva fell from a precipioe at Sal, broke his thigh, fractured his ancle, and was otherwise much hurt : he was, however, doing well. The LEVEN, BA RRACOUTA, and tender, were to leave Rio at the latter end of May, for the Cape, Algna Bay, and the other harbours to the east ward of the Cape, to survey.

Catcurra, JAN. 23.—Lieutenant Cotter, of the Bombay army, having heard that a very large tiger had destroyed seven inhabitants of an adjacent village, resolved, with another Officer, to attempt the destruction of the monster. Having ordered I seven elephants, they went in quest of the animal, which they found sleeping beneath a bu• h. Roused by the noise of the ele phante, he made a furious charge on them, and Lieut. Cotter's ,elephant received him on her shoulder, the other six having turned about and run off, notwithstanding the exertions of the riders. The elephant shook off the tiger, and Lieut. Cotter having fired two balls at him, he fell, but again recovering him. self, he made a spring at Lieut. Cotter. Having missed his ob ject, he seized the elephant by her hind leg, and having received -a kick from her, and another ball, he let go his hold, and fell a second time. Supposing that he was now disabled, Lieut. Cot.. ter very rashly dismounted, witb the resolution of killing hint with his pistols; but the tiger, who had only been crouching to take another spring, flew on Lieut. Cower and caught him in his mouth. The strength and intrepidity of the Lieutenant, however, did not forsake him : he immediately fired his pistol into the tiger's body ; and finding that this had no effect, be disengaged his arm with all his force, and directing the other pistol to his heart, he at last destroyed him, thee receiving twenty five severe wounds.
