LINCOLN STANIIOPF. It is announced in The Boniball Gazette in the following General Order " The Honourable the Governor in Council has had the gra- tification of receiving a report from Lieutenant-Colonel the lion. L. STAWHOIZ to the Address of the Adjutant-General, of the first ' operations of the force under his conmund, in the Province of Okamandel, in the reduction of the fortress of Dwarka. " The Governor in Council has much satisfaction in noticing the judicious and prompt decision of the Lisutenant-Colonel commanding, and his considetate humanity in tke hour of viG l i tory, as well as the skill, discipline, and gallantry evinced by _the ()t6cers and troops of every rank and description." He also expresses his regret at the severe wounds of Captain Sormasux and Lieutenant MARRIOTT. The fortress was carried by escalade. The gar rison, consisting of about 5.50 men, endeavoured to effect a retreat into the adjoining jungles, 'but were met by the different pickets posted by Colonel STAN HOPE, and, hemmed in as they were, a dreadful scene of carnage ensued. One party of them were driven into a back water, deep and muddy; through which they passed, and they made a stand on the bank,and here Captain SOILLIEUX received two wounds, one of which deprived him of his right hand, From this the enemy again threw themselves into the water. After great numbers had been killed,' Lieutenant-ColonefSTANHopz caused his troops to cease firing, and, after long persuasion, the few that remained were induced to surrender. Endeavours were made to save the other party in the same way, but they continued to fire, and it was not until two six pounders had been. brought against them with grape, that they could be induced to give in. Almost every one of the few remaining were badly wounded, and the whole found alive amounted only to fifty or sixty. The women, children, and peace able inhabitants had gone off into the jungles, and the Brahmins had retired, with Colonel STANHOPE'S approbation, to a pagoda outside the town ; so that retribution had fallen alone on that class which never gave, and consequently never expected to receive, quarter. The Lieutenant-Colonel bears the most honourable testimony to the conduct of all the OfE- cers and men under him. The return is, killed, four ; wounded, twenty-nine ; including three Officer., Cap tain Sou.uEux, Lieutenant MARRIOTT, and Lieute nant CASSA N. The report that the Expedition to the Persian Gulf had met with a check is confirmed. A battalion, with guns, was left at the island of Kishem, after we bad destroyed the holds of the pirates. It was not intended that this force should act on the offensive, but merely retain its position ; but the Commanding Officer, assisted by a force from the Imaum of Mus cat, proceed to attack a fortress called Lascarry, which the pirates held. They were attacked by a large body of Arabs, treble in numbers, and we lost six Officers killed, and about 500 Sepoys. The latter fought bravely, but were overpowered by numbers. We are sorry to say, that the Honourable Mr. Fa.rniNszose, Governor of Bombay, has had the misfortune to fracture his collar-bone, by a fall from his horse, as he was proceeding to Kutch on the public business of his honourable employers. He was gradually getting better, to the satisfaction of all the Presidency. The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived this forenoon. . The trial of the persons accused of the treasonable conspiracy of the 19th of August, commenced on Monday before the Chamber of Peers, as a Court of Justice. There are, in all, thirty-five persons impli cated ; twenty-five as principals, and ten for being in the knowledge of the plot, and not revealing it. They are mostly retired Officers of the Army. Five of the number have escaped, and the remaining thirty are on their trial. The following are some articles of - foreign igtel ligence VIENNA, APRIL 29. Nothing certain is yet known as to the period when the Allied Monarchs will quit Laybach ; however, it is generally believed here, that the Emperor and Empress will return towards the 15th of next month. Accounts have been received from Constantinople, confirming the deposition of the Mufti and the Grand Vizier. The standard of Mahomet, and the other en signs most revered among the Mussulmans, have been brought ford' from the Church of St. Sophia. This.l as it i, known, never takes place but when the Port( I wishes to proclaim that the safety of the Empite, of the existence of Islamism, is in danger; but it is ra. ther a means of exciting the zeal of the Janisaries than a sign of distress. It is said that the Archimandrite Gas is an oh. clan, advantageously known by several writings, t. at the head of the Greeks of Themaly. A great flora- ker of the women and children of the Greek insur gents of this province have taken refuge in the "mountains of Magnesia. • A report is current that in the month of Septem , ber there will be a new Congress assembled here, composed of Ministers of all the Powers of Europe, without exception. Of late there has been remarked among the pea sants of Moravia, and chiefly in the circles of Guaym and d'lglau, a spirit of opposition to the established order. They refuse to give the conics (day's work) due to their lords, and pretend that they owe nothing but the imperial impost, and will acknowledge no other. The resistance rose to such a pitch, that the malcontents dared to put up placards, threatening to set fire to the houses of such peasants as continued to give their corvies. On the 24th of this month, in consequence of orders received from Laybach, a score of peasants, who had shewn themselves most obsti nate were arrested, and the rest have returned to their duty. NAPLES, APRIL. 20. • Our squadron, composed of the Capri ship of the line, the Sirena frigate, and the Calabrese brig, came this day into port. The Court Martial which has been lately esta blished, has condemned to death Paolo Ruggiero, a baker lad, of Naples, aged 22, for having been one of those who had arms in their hands. MADRID, APRIL 27. The departure of Sir Henry Wellesley, who has for so long a time performed the functions of Ambassa dor from the ring of Great Britain to his Most Ca tholic Majesty, is a very natural consequence of the -system of economy adopted by the Cortes. The Am bassadors of Spain being replaced by Ministers Ple nipotentiary, the Powers with whom we have relations treat us as we treat them, on an exact footing of re ciprocity. Mr. Lionel Harvey remains with us, in place of the brother of the Duke of Wellington. The Duke de Frias returns from London, and the Prince de Lava is said to be on the point of quitting us.— Taking all things into consideration, what shall be lost by this arrangement? A Minister Plenipoten tiary cost's less than an Ambassador, and can, strictly speaking, serve the Court he represents as well. Letters from Barcelona announce, that vessels are continually arriving on all the coasts of Catalonia, filled with emigrants from the Neapolitan States, Genoa, Sardinia, and other parts of Italy ; two thou sand passports had been given at Naples alone.— Should this continue, that Province will appear as it did at the period of the first French emigration, in 1791 and 1792. At that period there were not less than six thousand refugees in Spain, on aceount of their political opinions. The Clergy, in particular, were treated with great kindness. The greater num ber of these strangers quitted our territory for Ger many, where the first campaign of the Allies having been unfortunate, tke corps of Emigrants was dis- 1 banded : Spain received anew into her bosom prin cipally those who belonged to the Provinces in the neighbourhood of the Pyrennees. Notwithstanding the repeated representations of the Ambassadors of the French Republic, Perignan, Guillemardet, &c., we displayed a generous hospi tality to those•unfortunate victims of circumstances. Who can blame us for exhibiting the same generosity towards the refugees from Naples and Italy? Peti mus damusque French rive per Cents.—Monday, 811. 20c. Mails have arrived this forenoon from Flanders and Holland, with Papers to the Bth and 9th inst. The following are extracts : HAGUE, MAY 2. The Gazette of this town contains the following article :—"*lt is asserted, on good authority, that a Coneordat has been concluded between the Holy See and the Court of Prussia, and that it was signed on the 23d of March, by Cardinal Gonsalvi and his Highness Prince Hardenberg, in the name of their respective Sovereigns. According to this Concordat, the ancient Bishop rics are re-established by the Government, as well as the Chapters and Seminaries. The Bishopric of Aix la-Chapelle is suppressed, but there is to be an Archi episcopal See erected at Cologne. • The Concordat further stipulates the free and public exercise of the Catholic Religion, an unfettered episcopal jurisdiction, as well as the faculty of having recourse to the Court of Rome." This news has been received officially by the Papal Nuncio at Munich. N.B. It was at Rome, and not at Laybach, that the Concordat abore-mentioned was signed. Cardinal Gonsalvl was not at the Congress at Laybach. Among the Articles of this Treaty we observe, that the Prince of Hohenzollern, Bishop of Ermeloud, who belongs to the Royal Family of Prussia, is no minated Archbishop of Cologne: that the Bishops are to be elected by the Chapters, and that the en dowments of the Bishoprics, Cathedrals, and Semi naries are to be in landed estates. Charleston Papers arrived this morning to the I 4th of April. REVOLUTION IN MEXICO. letter from Mayan aah of the 2d April says—" There has been an ar ival here from Vera Cruz with accounts from that city of the 15th ultimo. It is said that the Viceroy of Mexico has been dethroned, and a new Junta formed. Deputies have been appointed by the .hinti. to go to Spain, and• request a King from the Cortes, to be selected out of the Royal Family, and to reside amongst them, and that the independence of Mexico shall be acknowledged. I give you this intelligence as I received it. It is certain, however, that there has been a revolution in that country." In a preceding page we have given copies of the documents relating to the changes which hare taken place at Rio Janeiro, together with some farther par ticulars of this interesting event.

Yesterday Prince LEOPOLD arrived in town from Claremont. His Royal Highness had a numerous party to dinner. Wednesday the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER had a dinner party. We regret to state that the Marchioness of WOE.. CESTER is seriously indisposed, at Apsley House.— Her Ladyship found herself very unwell - on Thurs day evening, after returning from the Drawing Room, and on the following morning she imprudently took a cold bath, which has produced very alarming symptoms of internal inflammation. We are happy to learn, by accounts from Jamaica of the 24th of March, that the Duke of MANcIiEsTER had entirely recovered from the effects of his severe accident, and had received numerous congratulatory addresses from the inhabitants of the island. F. WALICKII: EV+ bas arrived at Reddish's lintel, Jermyros street, from Scotland. Sir Tuouas Mama, Bart. M.P. and family, are arrived in Devonshire-place, from his seat, Stratton Park, llama. Departures from Fentotes Hotel, St.James's-st reet—Sir JAM= BRISBANE, Bart. for his seat in Yorkshire ; Sir Roses? BOLTON, Bart. for his seat in Herta ; and Colonel Mame, for his seat in Yorkshire. The Russian Ameilcan Company has received in telligence from their Colony at Litka, stating that there are Russian families in the north of Behrings' Straits, under 67 deg. north latitude, whose ancestors were driven there by a storm about a century ago. The Directors expect further intelligence of this re markable occurrence. Private accounts from Constantinople, dated April 2, state, that the Turkish Government were making extraordinary exertions to frustrate the views of the i Insurgents. The prejudices of the populace of Con stantinople, Ind their hatred to the Greeks, had been successfully worked upon ; and great numbers of them were induced to take up arms in defence of the menaced Crescent. The arming of them led to much disorder, and as they were indulged in consi derable licence as the reward of their zeal, they re galed themselves plentifully in the punch-shops, de terring payment, however, till more peaceable times. —Many persons were stopped and robbed by them in the streets, - and they even entered the shops to exact contributions. These excesses, however, were in a great degree suppressed ; and our informant says—" After all, things are better than could have been expected ; and unless the Insurgents obtain some decided success, the worst is, in my opinion, over." He afterwards adds, " that there is no doubt here that unless the Greeks svcceed in this enterprise, they will be thrown back forty years at least."' We are informed that a forgery has been,commit ted on the Bank to the amount of £lO,OOO in the Navy Five per Cents., by a young man, clerk in the Bank, on Sir ROBERT P2EL.. Although it took place in March last, it was not discovered until within a few days. The above person is in custody, and on opening his desk they found eight thousand pounds in Exchequer Bills. FlRE.—This morning, at one o'clock, a fire broke out in the second floor of the sugar-house of Mr. TROLLOPE, Back-lane, St. George ' s in the East, whi c h burned with incredible fury. At half-past two the whole of the bpilding fell in with a tremendous crash, excepting the North front, breaking all the windows and doing considerable damage to an adjoining house. Much fear was entertained for the safety of Mr. JoHN eoN's timber-yard adjoining, from the great quantity of flakes of fire which fell into the yard. But the great exertions of the firemen prevented a further ex tension of the conflagration : the loss is considerable. Happily, no lives were Kw. . . SCOTTISH HOSPITAL.

Early on the morning of Saturday last, the ewe of the inhabitants of this place were astounded visir a tale which, for the horror of its nature, is happily unequalled in our annals. The leading facts, so far as we have been able to collect them, are as follows: —Henry Shuttleworth, a native of Birmingham, who had served his Majesty in a Corps of Marines, for which he was in the receipt of a pension, on a ceiving his discharge about six years ago came to* side here with his wife, Margaret Tindal, a !wired this place, whom he had married 1.5 years since, while here on the recruiting service. For some years they have occupied the Hope Inn, Castle -street, the back of which is to the Bridge-road. This inn be had given up, it is said, in consequence of the get inebriety of his wife, and had made arrangements for departing to his native place in a few days.— On Friday evening, after granting liberty to his are vant maid to be absent for the night, to assist in a neighbouring family in distress, he is understood to have bolted his door with an intention to. retire * rest in a separate apartment. About three o'clock* the morning the neighbourhood was alarmed by is wife calling up a woman who lived in an adjoineg house, to sac the body of her husband, which the lay in the lobby lifeless, with the head shockingly mangled. Mrs. Shuttleworth accounted for his death, by supposing he had fallen from the stair,* the foot of which Le lay ; but denied that she knew anythiag of the matter, farther than that she sae. bled over the body when groping her way from theta* room to the kitchen for a glass of water. This*. count not proving satisfactory to the neighbours, a surgeon was sent for, who ultimately called in the or four of the faculty. After a most minute maim nation of the body, on the head of which they do'• covered one very large and four smaller wounds these Gentlemen ware unanimously of opinion tot the deceased was barbarously murdered. From 110 circumstances it was suspected that more indir duals than one had been engaged in this horrid *le; but as it was not l ascertamed that any were in the house at the time except Mrs. Shuttleworth. Shelo been taken into custody. The interest of the Newington Select Vestry BI does not abate. Yesterday there was all but a bat* royal in the Committee, and we have been inforsol that Mr. HOLME Sussnia was again voted out the Chair. Yesterday the final examination and commitateet of the five smugglers concerned in the murder 6 Mr. SYDENHAM SNOW ' a Midshipman in the P re ' ventive Service, which happened at Herne itif, nor 'Whitstable, Kent, took place before Roma° BIB' NIE; Esq. the Sittings Magistrate.
