O. -.1.-- We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday last, They speak of the continued increase of the Greek insurrectionary army,under Prince Yysalante, .nd of the deep interest which the Greeks in gene ral take in this attempt to restore their country to the enjoyment of freedom. The Porte does not seem to have made as yet any military demonstra tions against the revolutionists, but has contented itself with cutting off the heads of some of the prin pal Greek inhabitants of Constantinople, by way of retaliation for the massacre of the Turks at Jessy and other places. Such a proceeding is not less impolitic than brutal ; but what else could be ex pected from the besotted stupidity of a man bred in the seraglio, and habituated to scenes of cold blooded murder ? Nothing can be more effectual than such conduct in making the cause of the In surgents national with the Greeks. The Porte will not only not allow any of that nation,to be neutral, but it even compels them to throw themselves into the ranks of its enemies. A Royal Decree, dated the 4th instant, has been made public ; accotding to which 40,000 men of the class of 1820 are to be called out. The distri bution of these 40,000 men among the departments is established by a table annexed to the decree.— The commencement of the operations of the councils will tale place on the 25th June, and the clnsing► of the list of the contingent on the Ist Sep tember. It will be decided subsequently at what period the 40,000 men called out from the class of 1820 will be brought into active service, as well as the mode of their distribution among the corps of the army. We most sincerely and sympathetically condole with the friends of religious liberty on the decision which has taken place in the House of Lords on the Catholic Emancipation Bill; but we must remem ber that the fulfilment of our wishes is only post poned, for, in tile course of nature, Lord. Eldon, who is now 71 years of age, cannot remain here long, and we consider his influence as having effected the defeat of the present Bill—as soon, therefore, as he shall be quietly consigned to the tomb (and we fear not till then) will justice be done to our Catholic fellow-subjects. The question of reform has been brought forward by Mr. Lambton, and his idea upon the subject goes no farther than (and we think not so far as) might be effected with perfect safety to the Constitution, yet the ministerial hangers-on rose in full cry to op pose it. An adjournment of the debate took place, and it was resumed on Wednesday night—while, however, Mr. Lambton, Mr. Brougham, and a great many other of the supporters of it, had retired to take some refre►hment, Ministers pressed the House to a premature division, and the motion was lost by a majority of 12. The Hon. Member will, doubtless, bring it forward immediately under some other form, and then we hope he may suceeed. The people feel they ought to have a Reform—they seem determined to have a Reform, and we are convinced that the . THE NATIONAL REGISTER according a moderate Reform by the Legislature is the only way in which a compulsory Reform can be prevented. We are, and always have been, too much the friends of order to countenance any thing like what has been termed Mob-law, and therefore do we hope that Parliament will not, by refusing what they ought to grant, force the friends of mo. derate Reform to join those who are the friends of dangerous innovations. Ministers, it is now said, object to the King's visit to Ireland, un account of the expense, which is estimated at 250,0001. and also the increased labour it would impose upon themselves to answer the numerous addresses to his Majesty. We give this merely as one of the new rumours on the subject. A chemist, of Brighton, has furnished the follow ing curious anti interesting remarks on the shortness of human life :—Of 1,000 persons 23 die in the birth; 280 from teething, convulsions, and worms; 35 from small-pox ; 7 an the measles; 160 of fe vers; 14 of apoplexy and lethargy; and 40 of dropsy. omitting other diseases not so well ascer tained; so that only 78 of 1,000 attain what may be deemed old age. Or it may be taken in another point of view—of 1,000 persons, 260 die within the first year, 80 in the second, 40 in the third, 24 in the fourth, and within the first eight years of life, 446, or almost one half of the number, are cut off by premature death.—Sickly years are from one in four to one in six or seven to the healthy. Decem ber, January, and April are, from observations, found to be the most sickly months, and June the most healthy in the year. January is to June as eleven to one. T - M , A match for stake _RoTTING MATCHES —ft _ a good took place on Wednesday from Newington-gate . .to that at the top of the hill at Sutton. The distance is ten miles, and the race excited much interest amongst the parties: It was the Covent-Garden trotting mare against the water.side gelding, each rode by the owners. The mare took the lead, but the horse soon passed her, and kept nearly a hun. dred yards, until at Mitcham, when they were toge. ther again, hut the mare broke into a gallop, and load to turn on the spot. The ground here lost at about half the distance never was recovered, and the owner of the mare pulled up at the bottom of the hill, when the horse was c ••• .^:nning by about 250 yards. The ten mit. a *IT minutes.—Another match was run on .. d a y on the Brighton road for 100 guineas, M.. chester having backed his mare to trot 16 miles in an hour. The mare broke into a gallop in the first mile, but she did it within four minutes, after turning. Hatt' the distance was performed in 29 minutes, and the mare kept on at a winning rate, doing her miles considerably within four minutes. She was rather fatigued in the last mile, but the match was won with 20 seconds to spare. True bills have-teen found by the Grand Jury of Middlesex against Robert Wardell the younger, edi tor of The Statesman newspaper, on two indict ments ; J. Thelwall, editor of The Champion ; P. Kelleher, editor of The Real Mu Bull ; and T. Dolby.—The London Grand Jury have also re turned true bills against Mary Ann Carlile and J. L. Turner, all for the publication of seditious libels. The whole of these indictments were preferred by the new society, established for opposing the pro. gross of disloyal and seditious principles. FoRGED NOTES.—The tidlowing is useful infor 'nation of the meons of detecting forged bank notes 'rake a good note, and wet the back in any part, with a sponge or with the tongue, and the water marks will show distinctly through. Wet a forged note in the same way, and the water-marks, which were but before slightly visible, will entirely &sup. Isar. The above simple but certain method have b•en tried with great success. On Saturday, the 13th inst the races at Boulogne stir Mer commenced. The hon. Augustus Caven dish Bradshaw, and the hun. Mr. St. John, were selected us the stewards. The horses entered were all English, and the concourse of spectators immense. The display of female beauty and handsome equi pages was superior to what is usually seen on the Continent. The next races are fixed for the 4th of May. The French nobility and gentry derive great satisfaction from this LsogliAA amusement, and ninny of them have expressed their determination to afford it every encouragement. On Thursday morning a walking match took place at Brixton. A gentleman undertook to walk fair, toe and heel, nine miles in one hour and a halt: He started on a half-mile piece of ground, and had a minute allowed hint for the 18 turns. He did the six miles in one hour and two minutes, and tit,. ce ivaining three in 29 minutes, losing the match, on which a good sum was depending, by two minutes only—as a whole, it was excellent walking. !A is said that the Marquis of Londonderry is to be re-elected to a seat in the House of Commons for Orford, in Suffolk, on the interest of the Marquis of I lertford. . ICS Philadelphia papers to the 21. t of March have arrived. The Iradaiuglan Gazette, of the 20th silt. says, " Another insurrection of a serious stature has taken place m Mexico, under the direction of a des cendant of Montezuma, and that all tends to inde pendence and u representative system." As bank-notes become scarce, gold is beginning to re-appear. A vessel lately arrived at Liverpool from America, brought gold coin to the amount of W),0001.; anti a sum of ten thousand guineas Was paid into one of the Liverpool banks a kw days ago. Captain Parry gave a superb dejeune on Monday, on board the Fury, at Depttor,t, to the Lords of the Admiralty, and many other distinguished per sonages, previous to his pi-att.:leading on Ins voyage to the North Pole.

Six weeks after sailing. finding constantly high winds, and in waat of provisions, the water nearly consumed, the crew asked the ciptain what he intended to do; the captain told them he had still some coffee. which he would give them for their support, and that he would . try to get to Bermuda; but after 24 hours, the winds against them. they tried fur New York, but wi thout success. Nest morning. at 8 o'clock, the Bth January. three of the crew went and seized the captain as he was walking on the deck, and tied him; then they said that he and those that live I in the cabin must either jump overboard or go in the jolly boat alongside. They then embarked the captain, who wished and asked to go in the cabin for his cloak and boots, but he was not allowed; lie ear nestly requested a compass. his lady also went on her knees, and . begged for a compote, but this was refused also. His lady, with . thee two children, one a boy two years old. the other a girl four yeas old; Mr. Hobert Meredith, a passenger; and a mulatto boy, named William, steward in the cabin, were fantod into the boat, with 20 pounds of bread, two trunks belonging to the captain, Mr. Meredith's trunk, and two oars, and nut adrift.
