'232 2 11:1r;i SSCITVt ,vb- LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 23. Three o'clock, p. vs. The Paris papers of Thursday last contain intel ligence confirmatory of the capture by the Greeks of the Turkish squadron in the Gulf of Lepanto. —The Ottomans are not competent to defeat the Greeks ut sea, as the Turks from their lazy and indolent habits, detest the naval service, while their opponents are expert and enterprising mariners.— Letters from Odessa repeat the rumour of a despe rate action having taken place ut Mytilene, in the Archipelago, between the principal Greek fleet and the Turkish squadron, which passed through the Dardanelles on the 16th ult. On this important °evasion the Greeks succeeded in capturing two frigates . and several other vessels of a smaller class. The remainder of the Ottoman fleet escaped. A line of battle-ship, which formed part of this squadron, returned to Constantinople, much damaged, with the disastrous intelligence. The news spread con sternation throughout the capital, the people in stantly became furious, and committed the most I.zutal excesses. In a short time the city appeared us it' it had been taken by assault—the streets were covered with streams of human blood, and filled with the dead bodies of the unfortunate victims.— Numbers of Greeks were dragged from their homes indiscriminately, and thrown into the Bosphorus anti drowned; fifty-one Priests were immolated dur ing the ce!ebration of Divine Service, and the most horrid and disgusting indignities were practised on their mangled corpses, while the murderous Turks enjoyed the frightful scene with exulting and savage ferocity. The war is now considered as a fierce contest between the Cross and the Crescent, where hatred and enthusiasm on the part of the followers of Mahomet chill every feeling of humanity. The cities of Petrasso and Corinth are said to have sur- rendered to the Greeks, and the Turks no longer retain any footing in the Morea. Lower Albania is in full insurrection, and the Armatolis massacre the Turks wherever they fall in with them. The Constitutionncl mentions a rumour of a Russian army having advanced to Galatz, with orders to continue their march for Constantinople. In Poland several students have been arrested, for resuming the an cient costume of their country, being considered probably as an indication of some political move ment for the resumption of their former liberties, as no people have been worse used than the Poles, by those powers which have occasionally obtained do minion over their unfortunate country.

MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.—We are favoured with the hillowing communication from a lady of high rank, who was an eye-witness to the event described :—A singularincident took place on Thurs day, in Westminster, in one of the Peeresses boxes, near to the left of his Majesty's table. At the first entry of the Champion, when every eye was di rected towards him, an Irish Peeress (the Connte:s of Annesley), who had lately arrived from Pads to attend the coronation, happening to turn round her head saw near her is gentleman in a Highland dress, leaning against One of the small pillars, with a pis tol in his hand, Ind looking towards his Majesty's Wide, seemingly us if ‘oing to present it. She in stantly, starting, exclaimed " What da you mean ? What ate you about, Sir ?" lie replied, " Don't be alarmed, Madam, the pistol is not loaded . " But this not satisfying her ladyship, she, with the true characteristic spirit of' her country, turned to one of the gentlemen appointed by Lord Gtvydyr to attend upon the Peeresses with refreshment, and said— " Sir, I desire you will instantly arrest and secure this gentleman with the pistol in his hand, and remove him from the gallery;" upon which he was instantly surrounded by some of the attendants till a proper officer took him into custody. Many of the ladies were alarmed ulmost to finting After short inter val, ono of the attendants was sent to the box to quiet the fears of the )adios by iutbrming them the pistols were nut loaded.

Barley was full as dear as last week, not having a very large supply at market. The supply of Oats was abundant, and there being a brisk demand, that article obtained an advance of is. per qr.
