I - e. WPMiS2!PIi;7I - . V 4 • _ ............. - THE NATIONAL REGISTER. 01:".011, MONDAY, APRIL U. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday last. They speak of the continued increase of the Greek insurrectionary arrny,under Prince Yysalante, and of the deep interest which the Greeks in gene nil take in this ittempt 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 end other places. Such n proceeding is not less impolitic than brutal ; but what else could be ex pected from the besotted stupidity of A roan bred in the seraglio, and habituated to scenes of cold blooded murder? Nething canle more effectual than such conduct io makin; 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, fisted the Sth instant, has been made public; .ccutding to v;:.;cli 40,000 men of the class of 1820 are to be wiled out. Th.:. distri bution of thes.? 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 closing of the list of the contingent on the let Sep.. tember. It will be decide(' subsequently at what period the 40,000 men calla' out from the class of 1820 will be brought into active service, as well a s 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 tarn Once in the douse of Lords on the Catholic Emancipation Sill ; but we roust remem ber that the .111fllment of our wishes is only post poned, for, in the course of nature, Lord Eldon, who is now 71 years of egr , cannot remain here long, and we consider his influence as having effected the defeat of the present Bill—as soon, therefore, as he shall ba consigned to the tomb (anti we fear not till then) will justice Se done to our Catholi , .. fellow-subjects. The question of reform has been brought forward by Mr. Larnbton, anti his i , .lect upon the subject goes no farther than (and we thin:: not so far as) might be effected rith perfect sr./ . :•!.. to the Constitution, yet the ministerial Largers-on rose in full cry to op pose it. An adjuurnment of the debate took ?lace, and it was resumed on Wednesday night—while, however, Mr. Lambton, Mr. Brougham, and a great many other of the supporters it, had retired to take some refreshment, Ministers pressed the House to premature division, and the mo.ion was lost by majority o: 12. The Hon. Member will, doubtless, bring it forward immediately under some other form, and then we hope he may succeed. The people feel they ought to have a Reform—they seem determined to have a Reform, and we are convinced that the 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. As bank-nntes b ecome scarce , go ld is beginning to 1.0-appear. A vessel lately arrived at Liverpool from America, brought gold coin to the amount of 20,0001. ; and a sum of ten thousand guineas was paid into one of the Liverpool banks a few days ago. Captain Parry gave a superb defame on Monday, on board the Ferry, at Deptford, to the Lords of the Admiralty, and many other distinguished per sonages, previous to his proceeding on his voyage to the North Pole. THE NATIONAL REGISTER Ministers, it is now said, object to the King's visit to Ireland. on amount 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. TROTTING MATCHER —A match for a pot' stake tool place on Wednesday from Newington -gate to that at the top of the hill ut Sutton. Tile dit-unce 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 kola nearly a hun dred yards, until at Nlitcharn, waen they were toge ther again, but the mare broke intoa gallop, and had to turn on the spot. The ground here lost at about half the distance never was recovered, anti the owner of the mare pulled up at tee bottom of the hill, when the horse was at the top, winning by about 250 yards. The ten miles tea, done in Mil) , .ninutes.—Another match me: run on the *awe day on the nrieliton road for 100 guineas, Mr. Man chester teeing backed his mare to trot 16 miles in an hour. The mare broke into u gallop in the first .nile, but she did it within tour minutes, after tenting. Half the distance was performed in 29 minutes, and the mare kept on at a winning rate, doing-her miles considerably within finir minutes. She was rather tiiiignea in tea last mile, but the match was won with 20 seconds to spare. True hills have been fieind 1:y toe Grand Jury of `.liddlesex against it:: l, ert Wardell the younger, edi. for of The Statesman newspaper, on two indict ments; J. Thelwall, editor of The Champion; P. Kelleher, editor of TA' Real John :Sall ; and T. Dolby.—The London Grand Jury have also re turned true bills against Mary Ann Carlile and J. L. Turner, all fur the publication of seditious libels. The whole of these indictments were preferred by the new society, established for opposing the pro. gress of disloyal and seditious principles. FORGED NC/TlM—The following is useful infor illation of the mains of detecting forged bank notes - Take a good note, and wet the back in any part, with n sponge or with the tongue, aid tne 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 disap. pear. The above simile but certain method have been tried with great success. On Saturday, the 13th lust the races at Boulogne sur `der commenced. The hon. Augustus t. even dish ilratishaw, and the hon. Air. St. John, were selected as the stewards. .1 he horses entered were all English, Lind the cencourse of spLeAstars immense. The display of female beauty and handstnue pages was superior to what is usually seen on the Continent. The next races are fixed for the 4th of lay. The French nobility and gentry derive I rreor 4s.tibfnetion limn tins &gush amusement, and ninny of thens have expressed tneir at:termination to afford it every encouragement. 0,. Thursday morning a walking match took place at Brixton. A gentlemen undertook to walk ►air, toe mid heel, ;tine miles in one flour and a half. He started on a half.mile piece of ground, and had a minute allowed him fur the 18 turns. He did the six miles in one hour and two minutes, and the re ma. g three in 29 minutes, losing the match, en which a go.si sum was depending, by two minutes unit'—as a whole, it was excellent walking.

He then sclpected some design on the Fart cf the men who had called him up, and running home arrived just in time to see the fellows escape, alder as unsuccessful atteni,n to rob his house. It appeared that the doctor had scarcely left home when the men knocked again at the door, well knowing the only person within was a boy, and they no donut calculated upon getting an easy booty.
