P , '"' - ` setemand of a new army that is organizing there, of :r'wbich troops he has taken from Constantinople, will form the vanguard. The success of the Greek expedition will telrituipally depend on the part that their numerous country %even of Asia take. to the meantime, it is reported that the I:Capitan Pacha has received orders from Constantinople, 'to Teton with all his Beet to the coast of Asia Minor, to 4 , a rrark the Greek fleet. The Greek expedition will thus act a diversion to induce the Capitan Pacha to leave the ! 100130 Sea and the coasts of Greece. Accounts from Batavia, dated March 22, state that the Coieroor General in Council, on the 11th of February, bad *adopted &h auras for the observance of the ordinance by which the port of Batavia alone is open for the importation ..of foreign Merchandise. The Governthent had received a detailed account of the eruption of the Volcano, in October last. In this terrible visitation 4 011 persons perished, 49t33 Rice plantations were totally destroyed, and 5381 *Orel The number of Coffee trees destroyed amounts to 77,7 95 • kccoants from Canton in China of 14th January, say that they have begun to rebuild most of the factories destroyed by the fire in November last. The number of houses of all kinds dent oyed, including magazines and factories, is 13,40. The loss of the English Company is much less than was at first sap ; pose d. Th e loss cawed by the fire has had no influence en s trade ; all Imported goods were low, especially cotton. • An article from Copenhagen s of the 12th of August, says that the Swedish and Norwegian . Charge d'Affaires in Spain bas received orders to act in conformity with the Briggs Ambassador, respecting the place of his residence. We are afraid that there is a disposition in the Catholics of Ireland, to push Prince Hoheolobe's reputation as a miracle-monger rather too far. We would caution them in all friendliness, to be wary upon this point. We may not quarrel with them for believing the miracles, but they must not press them upon us. We contend for their righi to the full enjoyment of political and religious freedom as BIEN, who know the valve of the rights which - they de mand. If, instead of being men, they put themselves in the light of credulous children, are might pause before we proceeded to form any alliance with them, on a . business in which ail the energies of the mind are required. Let Prhtce Hobenlohe continue to set women's tongsses going, or to stop them, (if he can), but let ns have no more of grave men listecing to, or, what is still worse, repeating such stories. The continuance of the Slave Trade affords ranch regret to the friends of humanity ; and an endless source of hy pocritical cant to others, who merely use the subject as a chord to play upon the feelings of the public. The truth of the case is, that the Slave Trade cannot be abolished, while slavery exists. It is all a farce; to make agreements between nations on the subject. If they were intended to be effectual, which :bey are not, it would be impossible that they should be so, while any mart for slaves could be obtained ; and the markets arc now nearly as open as be• fore the Slave Trade was formally abolished by England. Since that period the importation into one met West India island*, has been enormous ; perhaps little short:of what it would have been, had the abominable traffic been openly allowed as before. The principle that it is better to buy than to breed, has taken deep root in the conntries where slaves are employed ; and it is only by abolishing slavery that it can be eradicated. The pretended danger of so doing is also lately ridiculous. What danger could there be in the enactment that all children born under the British Bag should be free ? the slave owners pleacl.l ed that it was not just to subject them to the expence of bringing them up, when they were to have no pro perty in them, let the State bring them ap until they Were enti tled to obtain their own livelihood. The expence would he but trifling, for the equivalent good ; although, in point of strict justice, those who profit by the labours of the parents, ought to support the children. But waving that consideration' by such means, in the course of another generation, all would Irc free, without any disorganization of the present order of Society ; and as by this means alone can the Slave Trade e effectually abolished, those who do rfot facilitate such a measure, are in truth anxious that the Slave Trade should continue. Thant were no loss then three departures with despatches on Friday. In addition to Mr. Arbuthnot, jun. for Paris, Vienna, Constantinople, &e., Mr. %ego, the Spanish Courier, after be ing under orders for several days to be readiness to I eve Eng land, left town on Friday night with despatches for Sir Wm. A'Courr, at Gibraltar ; and Mr. Monroe, the King's Messen ger, left town with despatches for Sir Charles fagot, our Am• hanador at St. Petersburg. An extraordinary Courier from the Court of Turin to the Sardinian Minister in London, arr;ved here a few days ego. It has been remarked that since the arrival of this Courier, who is even a person of distinction, the Sardinian Minister seems to he more than usually occupied. From what can be learnt, It would appear that the Sovereigns of Italy are in great appre hension of the projects of Austria, in the Congress which Is to meet at Milan. It is affirmed also,that Austria is very unwilling to evacuate the strong places occupied by her in Piedmont. Advices from Bayonne of the 16th instant state, that an cording to letters from Vittoria, the persons arrested fur political opinions had been set at liberty by virtue of the order of the Duke of Anrouleme, doted Andujar the Bth instant. The Alcalde of Vittoria, who refused to carry it into execution, had himself been imprisoned. Letters from Barcelona, dated the 6th August, were re ceived yesterday through France, The French at that time held the city in strict blockade by land, but no mili tary movements are mentioned, the writers studiously avoiding to speak on public affairs. It is remarkable that the only sure conveyance for letters to Barcelona has been discovered to be through France, these sent through other channels, such as Corunno, Vigo, or Lisbon. do account of the distrust the writers entertained of the French post- Mice, having in almost all instances failed to reach their destination. A letter from Paris of the 20th Augugt says—" On the lith of April hist, the police discovered in Rue Monter snail part of the printing utensils which bad served to print protest of the Chamber of the Hundred Days, and some songs addressed to the Army of the Pyrenees. Ascagne Andist, a young law student, who had possession of these bas just been condemned to six months' imprison 'seat and to pay a fine of 10,000 francs. His brother, Venn Andiat, and a person named Meyor, a worker in em lwohlery, who were implicated in the same transaction, were acquitted." CORUNNA. -....- By accounts Which have arrived from Cornnha to the' 12th inst., we learn that the French troops had left Ferrol, and joined General Bourck before Corium'. They suc ceeded on the sth in Fatting four guns (•24 pounders) from Ferrol, for the batteries on the bills of Santa Margaretta, and hear the windmills. On the morning of the tith, at daylight, the en'emy appeared in great numbers close to the tour, when the batteries opened and kept up a fire on them till about two o'clock, when the teensy sent a flag of truce, and summoned the places second time, The answer, which was becoming a man of principle and gallantry. was de livered by the chief of the staff to the French officer who came with the flag of trace, and 10 minutes was allowed him to depart, at the expiration of which time the firing coin. sensed on both sides with cannon and musketry : and at the same time two French frigates, two brigs of war, and gun boats, came into the bay, and stood near that part of the city called Orxan, and commenced a heavy tiring; but the batteries from the town soon obliged them to desist, and sheet' of to sea. The enemy constructed fdur batteries, and mounted three 24 pounders on each, on the bilk of the mills and at the Poloza, which command the town, and at six o'clock In the evening opened a heavy fire on the town, and kept it up all night without intermission, throwing in shel:s grenades, and cannon-shot: they directed their fire to that part of the city called the Piscardina, which is the finest aid most elegant part of the eitr, where the mer chants reside, and particularly on the Canton de Lacy. In the streets called Calle St. Andrew, St. Nichols, and Cor deleria, their fire did some mischief to the inhabitant*, and did not cease until five o'clock of the morning' of the 7th. Lieut.-Colonel Don Pedro Barco, a most valuable arti le ry officer, was killed about nine o'clock at flight : and also Lieut. Jose Nunez, and several artillerymen. The inhabi tants are cheerful, and do not despair: the men all, old and young, are under arms and ready to tight, should the ene my attempt to storm thooven ; the women work at the batteries, and bring sand bags, and all the materials that are used in constructing batteries and breast-works. On the 7th two French frigates arrived, and joined the others,so that the naval force of fhe enemy then co. sisted a 4 frigates, 2 brigs, and 2 gun boats. The inhabitants were most anxiously ►ooking out every day for provisions from England; they said tbey:never would despair while the English were their friends. Provisions were getting very dear, and water and fuel scarce. Neither arms nor ammu nition were wanted. On the Bth and 9th the enemy were very silent: they had withdrawn their guns from their batteries, and had fallen back, as they were in dread of being attacked in their rear. ileneral Vego on retiring from rigo, where he dis mantled the Castle, and spiked all the guns in the forts, joined 6eneral Pallarea, for the purpose of harassing the rear of the French at Corunna. We must add to these accodnts that advice, have arrived from Ferial under date of the 15th, which mention that an arrangement had been entered into between lieneral Itourck and the garrison of Corunna, in consequence of which hos tilities had ceased; but this account requires cdofirmation. F/ACUATION or Banta.—Extract from the Agent to Lloyd's, at Jersey, dated August 22:—" Arrived the C. 7.11- rier, La Maitre, from Rio Janeiro, in•l9 days; spoke on the 7th inst. the Louisa transport, from 13'114 to Lisbon. The. Captain reported that Madeira, on the 2d of July, evacuated Bahia, and embarked witls all the European troops on hoard the ships of war and merchant vessels. to the num. ber of 61 sail, mien on board all the plate of 01a:hurtles and whatever was valuable. Lord Cochrane aliowed them to proceed unmolested. It is confidently reported that Mr. Canning openly cell demi)s the conduct of Sir William Atourt, in not follow ing the King of Spain to Cadiz, as it was his duty to be at hie post, and not to sit io judgment on the Cortes. The notorious Government Reynolds with his family are in Paris, whete they inhabit a fine hotel, and support a splendid equipage, the expense of which, it is supposed, is defrayed either out of the fond of secret service, or by a meritoriuvr pension, worthily obtained for him by a late Foreign Secretary. Earl Fitzwilliam, on has return from Ireland, passed through Sheffield on Tuesday week, and arrived at Went worth House about U o'clock that nigh:. We nii?,erstand that the arrival of the Countess is delayed for two or three weeks, by which time the preparations which are now go• ing forward fur her reception, will be completed. On Wednesday, Lord Milton reached Wentworth, to pay his dutiful respects to his illustrious father, with whom he at present remains. —(Leeds Mercury.) Letters from Italy state, that the Tribunals of Anstria have just condemned to death, Count Confalonieri, the Magni ss Paravicini, MM. Castiglia, and Mompiani, Advo cates, Colonel Moretti, and three young stnilents.—The crimes imputed to these individuals, who are held in the highest estimation in Italy, are not even looked on as faults there, as, according to the letters alluded to, they consist only in the. explicit manifestation, on their part, of the aversion which all Italians entertain for the dotoination of Austria in their country. It would seem that the Ministers of Austria wished to prepare the spectacle of the condem nation of eight persons to death, in order that their Master, in his next visit to Italy, may exercise a Erand act of generosity- 4 by commuting this sentence into that of the carcere dare, which is frequently more cruel than the other. We have already felt the benefit of being rid of the in fluence of St. Steithin. This day has been the warmest at the year. Between I and 2 o'clock. p.m. our thermometer, exposed to the sun, was so high as 110 degrees. A number of forged notes of the Royal Rank are at pre sent in circulation in Kelso. In one public coffee there, during the course of one week, not less than three forged one pound notes of that bank have been presented. The imitation in the body of the note is such, that along with others the forged one is likely to pass ; but on examination it will be seen that the stamp is counterfeit and the signa tures engraved.—(Border Courier.) Several fatrners and others frequenting onr market, hare sustained severe losses by an individual who resided near Wolverhampton. and wholately purchased grain, &c. to the amount of 30001. On the 19th of the last month, he bought largely . of wheat at one shilling per buttel above the market price, and of other kinds of grain, and bacon, at advanced prices. In short, he appeareel a very nice man," and the day of payment was fixed, in each in. stance, for that day month, namely, last Saturd a y. Before that Say, however, some whispers were oreati respecting doubtful payment, for it wu known that he sold the arti cles (for ready money) at less prices than he gave for them. Several persons rode to the house of their purchaser, who freely gave them respectively his promissory Rote for the amount of their claim.—Saturday last was the day of set. Bement. The generous customer never appeared. It is. understood that he is gone to France.—(Shrewsbury CArosicle.) PUBLICANS' LICZNIIIIL—By the Act of 3 Geo.

(PROM MOOLNLR'SEZRTER ASP PLYMOUTH OARRTTI.) We have been favoured with a copy of a letter received yes' terday from Captain Bennett,* of the Fame merchant Teasel, dated St. Andrew's, New Brunswick. July 4, 1823, which states, that on the Ist of June last, he fell in with the Lord Ex mouth, Captain Barrett, hound to Quebec, and parted from her on the Sth.

IL, Sir James lYhitsbed, and a party of Naval Officers.— 11. rd Melville's arrival on hoar I, and departure from, the Revenge, were announced by distinguishing salutes.— (HompshircTelegraph.) In cases of seizure of vessels for acts of smogzlinr com mitted by the seamen on hoard, unknown to the master or owners, the Lords of the Treasury are :shout to confer on the Officers of Customs and EXilFe, at the out-ports, ex tended powers, so as to enable them to take personal or other security, instead of detaining the vessels, as has hi therto sometimes been the case, to the great injury of the proprietary. This concession meets the wishes of the me morial on the subject. Dot Lig the time the Royal Yacht was moored off Ports month, waiting for the arrival of his Majesty (alto by the bye never came) we were induced to go on board, to takea survey of the interior for the accommodation of the Royal It inner and its head. In one room is fitted up with roust derahle neatness, a library of useful and amusing book , .— We had the curiosity to take down two or three volumes, when to our snrprise dropped several religious tracts, which the person who accompanied us were placed there by dill . ..rent visitors for the Royal edification, outwit's. standing the utmost vigilance used on his part to prevent it.—(Morniog Paper.)

M. GAUNZIIIN, the arrutiant, died a few days ago, in Paris. About is week before, he hail a sudden stroke of imnplexy in the Theatre de Jardin Beanjon, in consequence of which he let go the rope of the curtain which was in his hand, and the curtain fell on his head and severely wound ed him. The hemorrhage rallied by the wound retard ed for some time his decease. M. ttaaxantsr was the first who attempted the experiment of the parachute. The hotly of a youth, about 12 years of age, was found on Tuesday last (19th instant). in a most shocking state of putrefaction, in a wood near Einsworth, having been 'hiss ing ever since the second day of Portsiiown Pair (25th July). The child, an orphan,.had asked his brother's leave to gum to the fair, and on being refused, took the opportn• nity of stealing a sovereign and eight shillings,with which he ran away, and the brother having found him on the hill, corrected him. and ordered him to go home, but instead of ' which be went into the wood near his home, and hanged himself.—(Brigliton Herald) Nsw TURNPIKE Acv.—The objectionable clauses in this A ct r elative to the wheels of waggons, are repealed, and agriculturists, &c. are allowed to use their carts and wag. cons as now constructed, except that after the Ist of Jan. h 26, the nails of the %% heels must be so reduced or counter sunk, as not to project more than one quarter of an inch from the tire. Botritricso MAItRET, AVOUST 95.—The quantity of Cattle at market this morning was not so great as on former Monday's yet the supply was fully sufficient for the demand. Owing to the state of the weather, the Butchers do not like to speculate, and the market was rattier heavy, although a lower price was asked for Oven. CORN Excliaxog, At.n. 25.—T1 e arrivals of Wheat, Flour, and licans last week were goad, but there was very little of other grain. This morning there is not much old Corn fresh at market, but several samples of new Wheat of damp quality., Prime dry parcels of Wheat have °trained 2s. to 3s. per quarter, more than last Monday, bat our mil lers have very little spirit to purchase, notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, and the sales are by no means brisk.—Barley remains as last quoted. —Theme is plenty of Beans at Market, which makes this trade dull, at last piotations.—Boiling Peas are cheaper in consequence of many new parcels being at market.—Grey Peas are an- altered.—l t is at length fully decided, that the bonded Oats are to remain under King's lock ' • and having but few Oats at Market, this article sells with tolerable freedom, at is. per qr. advance on the terms of last Monday.—Flour trade dull. A Coroner's Inquest was held on Wednesday last at the Robin Hood, Portsmouth, on the body of James Clements, a labouring boy, under 13 years of age, who was on that day found hanging on an oak tree, in a very unfrequented part of Havant Thicket. It appeared in evidence, that on Saturday, the 2d inst., the deceased was at work with other boys in a field, and he said to one of them, " 1 wonder if it would hart much to kill oneself." Ido not think it wool hurt to hang oneself." He continued his work, and in the evening turned his horses out in the field, as he was accustomed to do, and having taken the halter from the horse he lode, he 11719 seen to go towards the thicket, for the purpose, as was supposed, of getting a nitcb of fern; and not returning to his home in the evening, every search was made for him, without effect, till Wednesday last, when Ise was found as above described, suspended by the halter be had taken from the horse.
