~. ---THE NATIONAL REGISTER TS3 431t6cript- LONDON, MONDAY, SEPT. 10. Three o'clock, p.m. The Paris Papers of Thursday have arrived.— Baron Strogonoff, it appears, did not sail for Odessa hcfore the 9th of August, and had previously several c.:mnunicatiuns with the Ministers of England and Austria. It is said, that all the Powers interest themselves with respect to the Greeks; but the cna:ntration of Russian troops in Bessaria would indicate some design upon the Turkish territory, which must be viewed with suspicion by this coun try and France. It is even said, that hostilities have commenced ; but the report is considered in most of the French Journals us premature. The accounts f:am Smyrna are contradictory. In some letters, dated the 17th of July, the town is represented us r orfiTtly tranquil, while other intelligence states, that all commerce is at an end, and not a day passes • liithout some Greeks being massacred. The news of the Greek insurrection in Candia had increased C:c state of exasperation among the Turks. It ap- . pears the Asiatic Turks are marching in great fbrce t Scala Nuova, a sea-port opposite to Samos, with view of invading that island. The numbers des t at:tl for this enterprise amount to 80,000 men, but i!..ne of them have been able to effect the passage, is consequence of the vigilance of the Greek creizers. Even should they succeed in making the descent, t:le Greeks of Samos, consisting of 40,000 or 50,000 ilividuals, are prepared to give them a powerful re sistance. The masters of three Austrian vessels, who arrived at Venice from Smyrna on the 17th of August, saw the Turkish fleet, which had just passed through the Dardanelles, and heard that the tir;.eks were preparing to attack it. One of the Paris Papers mentions a rumour, that an army of cl,ervation, 60,000 strong, will be immediately as sembled in the vicinity of Strasburgh. An article from Turin says, that the Prince de la Cisterns, the larquis de Prc, and Count Peron, have been eon -0,1;1mA to death, and executed in effigy. In answer tJ the applications which several Sovereign Princes of Germany ineffectually mac in their favour, King Charles Felix observed, " that he owed it to the tranquillity, not only of his own dominions, but that of Europe also, to sanction an act of justice so indis. pensable." The widow of Marshal Murcau died at Bourdeaux on the night between the 31st August and Ist of September.—M. Decaxes, who had gone to Bourdeaux to see that Lady, left it on the day after her death." The French Five per Cents. on Thursday left off at 88f. 2uc.; Bank Stock, 1,545 f. DREADFUL FIRE IN GRACECHURCH STREET. AND LOSS OF 41YES. At about two o'clock yesterday morning a fire was dis covered in the back part of the premises of Messrs. Sotottall and Fossick, brclla manufacturers, whose house is situated at the front of White-hamcourt. Grace ctiurch.street. Before any fire engines had arrived the Mantes bad communicated to the premises of Mr. Ryan, the cheesemonger, and on the arrival of the first engine. belonging to the London Insurance Company. the fire made its appearance at the front of both boosts The fire had advanced too far in the houlle of Mr. Fussick to attempt to rescue any considerable part of the property; but the firemen having with difficulry roused Air. Ryan, they proceeded with the greatest vigour and alacrity to remove as much as they could of hia stock. The tire engines began to come in rapidly, and there being a plentiful supply of water. they immediately commenced playing upon the premises, but as the flames spread chit fly at the back part of them, they had great difficulty in operatinl from the court. The firemen its the front nt the buildings had soc cer:tied in resuming a considerable !Anion of the stock of Mr. Hyatt, the cheeseutenter, %ellen those inside the premises were called off; as it uas considered they could no longer exert themselves with safety. Two, however, remained within loniser than the rest, and the housejaael been on lite about hall an hour, when dreadful to relate, it fe:l in with a must horrid crash. One of the adven turous firesticti WiS at the nine 111 the houee, and must militant doubt Last been crushed to pieces in the moment. The other, wi.ohad remained behind, just got outisf the building, Le i a cot.sideraLle portion of the ruins fEI vivo hint, and he us's removed in so mutilated a state that we are informed be died shortly atter.—The bode at the other unlortitaaie man still remains buried under a pile of ruins, from ve Itch he cannot be yet extricated, as the si of is ova-inns( by a frightful stack of chimneys, which are ntotnentarily mnected to fall. During the occurrence of melancholy ei'.l2umstances in front, st the fire spread with a degreee of fury beti.9( l that defied the united energy of the firemen. The extensive premises of Mt ssrs. Lowe and Pewie; ress, stationers, were on fire, and their entire stus.l in a bias?. The Quakers' meetiii4-howe took fire, and was in ruins in a few minutes; aml iii it, we are informed, were consumed an extensive library, and other property of importance to a numerous class of the Society of Friends, beside much property belonging to the person wlto has the care of the establishment. From the resist less progress of the flames, the banking houses of Messrs. Spooner and Attwood, and Messrs. Masterman, were its _neat danger; and indeed at one time their destruction appeared ine‘itable. The firemen however performed %%mule:, Toe home of Messrs. Nlasterman was three times on fire, but was each tittle subdued by astonishing eNs.rtion. On the tate of the hours= of Messrs. Master man and Co., it was considered depettdol that of the whole lielgllhottrlinod, as adjOiiilag arc the premises of Mr. Allen the chynosi. Front this conneeiton the event of the exertions to sale tile house of Messrs. Nlastermats was watched with intense anxiety by the inhabitants of the contiguous houses, who were preparing their goods fur removal.— Die firemen, by directing cmistant streams of water upon the house of Messrs. Spooner and Co. succeeded in pre serving it Irons material injury. At about four o'clock thc houses which we have men tioned as being in flames fell iu success.vely, when the firemen were enabled to direct their efforts for the pre servation of the surrounding property with success, and after that time Sci! flames made no further progress.— The house of Mr. Ryan the cheese-monger, in the ruins of which the unfortunate fitemeu perished, was very old and dilapidated, which accounts for its having fallen in in so short a time, although but partially consumed. It cannot at present he ascertained where, or in what manner the fire originated, but is considered to have pro ceeded from the bilk premises of Nlessrs.Fossick, the brella makers. The properly consumed was but par tially insurd, and we are imormed that the house of Mr. Ryan was not insured at all. It may be supposed that the thieves, who generally assemble en masse on such occasions, were upon the alert. But the city police were ego ,Ily prompt, and proceeded to remove as many of the this ves as they could lay hold of from the scene to 'doers of security. Many, however, had begun the W 011: of plunder, and .iivitied upon the spun the cheeses whxit were saved aunt the tire ; but the property was taken from then' by the officers who guarded the ave nues; and we hate not heard that any considerable property was stolen from the inlaibitant,;, who were eutsployrd in reinoving their property to places of safety, nor that any sillier lives were lost than those of the two unfortunate men we It ace mentioned, and who, we un derstand, did Lielong i to the London Insurance Company. This morning, about five o'clock, a dreadful fire broke out in Princes -street, Soho—it is still burn ing, and has already destroyed five hours. We re gret to add, it is reported that three children were burnt to death in the house where the fire originated. The licrn, of Swansea, foundeted at sea, St. lees' Head bearing E.S.E., distant about five leajues, on Monday morning last. It blew hard, with a heavy sea gointr, when the lie's carried away her mast head, which, falling to leeward, stme iu the deck, and through the aperture thus wade the water washed in so hist that the pumps could not keep her free. The crew and two passengers then took to a small boat, and had-searcely quitted the ccssel when she won down. They were shortly afterwards picked up by the Hope, of Pwinelly, and landed at Mil oid Ilaven. The hie,o was from Swansea, bound to l'lyinoutit, with a cargo of culm, and some silver plate and books, said to be worth about 2,0001. Mr Heber, who is this year high-sheriff for the county of Salop, on meeting the Judges of Assize, at Shrews bury, on Tu , sday. a numerous body of his tenantry and friends attended hint into the town with favours in their hats, in const•queuc: of his bents elected one of the Re. presentative, in Parliament for the University of Oxford. On Sunday the 26th ult, a boat belonging tu Buck haven, Fifeshire, on her return from the Herring Fishery, was suddenly upset, at 4 p. in. when shout 11 miles off the Outten coast. The crew, consisting of four men, succeeded in righting her, and by lashing the !basis across the gunwales, prevented her, although ful! of water, nom again turning keel uppermost, and iu this state they were fortunately descried by the SCM. men of Boddom, and rescued Irvin their perilous situa tion, after being fur more than 12 hours .exposed to it. With the exception of one k, found it sea next moiling by a Finnyfold boat, along with a few buoys, they have lost ceery thing, including adl. worth of nets. DREADFUL ACCIDENT —About three o'clock, on Tuesday aiternoon, Captain Gardiner, smack-owner, of the . port of listwich, with a party of friends, set sail in a boat to drink tea on board his vessel, lying at anchor in the harbour. When about a quarter of a unite from the shore (me of the women's bonnets was blown off, and in gibing the boat in order to get it (the wind blowing fresh, and the main sheet fist on the contrary side), the boat upset. by which dreadful accident the wile of Captain Gardiner, h 4 daughter, aged 13, an apprentice of the age of 17, and Mrs. Miles (who hod a child in her Wills about two years old), were unfortu nately drowned. The captain, his son a youth of seven years of age, and an apprentice. together with another person, and Mrs. Mile's child were resereid from a watery grave by boats from the shore, which went in every direction to sender assistance. This shucking event was witnessed by a her of persons on the beach who had seen the party embark. I'hc bodies only of Mrs. Gardiner and Mrs. Miles isave been picked up.
