the Ambassador bad sent off instructions to Count Wittgenstein, who was on the frontiers, and to the Russian Admiral in the neighbourhood. A report had been circulated at Odessa that the Porte is on the eve 'of issuing a Proclamation, offering amnesty to all those Greeks who, within three mouths, shall return to their occupations and allegiance. As an other evidence of a pacific-nature, the Porte, it appears, Las at length, after a considerable detention, allowed the numerous vessels laden with grain to pass down, as they are not wanted by the Government, on condi tion they shall be accompanied by a ship of war of their respective country, and that they do trot hold communication with any of the islands, thus prohibiting the Greeks from receiving the as sistance of Foreign Powers. Two Austrian ►essels from Trieste were boarded by a Turkish ship of war and carried into Scio, where their papers were exa mined, and baying been found correct, they were or dered to be released. This, however, the crew of the Turkish ship would not permit, and forthwith began to pillage the vessels, in which they were opposed by the Austrian crews, and in the rencontre four of the latter were killed. Letters from Smyrna to the 4th throw discredit on the account of the victory of the (ree k over the Turkish fleet, offSamos, which has been so often mentioned in the French papers. There had been partial fighting between the Greek fleet (up wards of 100 sail) and the Turks, off the island of Stanchio; but no general engagement bad taken place ap to the latest date. The Romulus, French 60 gun ship, Captain llalgan, and two corvettes, bad lately arrived at Smyrna, making in all seven French ships of war then at anchor in that harbour, together with a Dutch frigate and the Medina, British sloop of war. Halifax papers to the 19th August, and New Bruns wick papers to the Bth August, arrived this morning, from which we extract the following : REMARKABLE EPOCH.

DESTRUCTIVE TORNADO. EXTRACT Or A LETTER PROM AUGUSTA, (GEORGIA) AUGUST 3. A Tornado of the most awful nature in its effect, passed through the counties of Oglethorpe, Wilks, and Lincoln, on Saturday morning, just before day-light, and has done extensive damage.

'the news that insurrectionary movements had taken place iu Servia, is confirmed from all quarters. The Paella of Widdin, to whom the surveillance of the Serbians was confided, has been compelled, in conse quence of the fermentation prevailing in that country, to retire to the right Bank of the Danube, and to take up a position of observation on the frontiers. The garrisons of the for tresses were ordered to be rein forced, and the Pectin of Bornia was directed to carry this order into effect ; but the Servians have declared, that they will oppose, with open force, the passage of the Ottoman troops. CONSTANTINOPLE, Aro. 10.—The Porte has received a very important communication from the English Am bassador. All English and Anglo-lonian subjects are prohibited from affording any assistance in men, money, or arms, to the Greek insurgents, or to pay any debt due to them. The English Consuls have orders to acknow ledge only the Turkish authorities, and to give thenfall the aid due to a friendly power; not to give any pass ports or asylum to the Insurgents, and not to grant protection to any merchant of their nation oho shall have sold arms to the Greeks. The whole of tbe'e orders are in strict conformity to existing treaties be tween the Porte and England. The following is au extract of a letter from Mar . seilles '• MAISEILIAII, SEPT. 3.—The Greeks of Leghorn 1.4.40.4•4 Er i Umelusbipcof Cephalonia, with arms and sepainithis,to the value of 604)0 dollars.

It was there Arrested by order from authority, under the pretentthat it would be a violation of neutrality to allow the. passage of succours to the Greeks tinder the English flag. The inhabitants offered to take chargeof the stores and forward them under another lag; but the Government, far from agreeing to this, confiscated the whole. This proceeding appears to us very extraordinary. " Mr. Green, the British Consul at Patras, is now here , with his brother sad family. it is thought that his eon mersation sad reports are little favourable to the Greeks." Mr. Alderman Wood and his son, the Rev. J. P. Wood, landed at Deal on Wednesday evening, after a boitteross paslage of four hours and a half from Calais.

The Committee appointed for the printing, and circu lating throughout the different counties in Ireland, his Majesty's Letter to the Lord Lieutenant, held a Meeting at the Royal Exchange yesterday. Different proposals and specimens were laid before the Meeting, which ulti mately adjourned until two o'clock this day. It was ex pected that a Meeting would have been held, relative to the formation of a Loyal Union, or Georgian Society ; according to the Resolutions proposed by Mr. O'Connell on Friday. No such meeting, however, was held!— (Dublin Morning Post, Tuesday.) LOY,/.1. MON SOCIETY. It was expected that a general Meeting would have been held yesterday at D'Arcy's, relative to the forma tion of a Loyal Union, or Georgian Society, according to the Resolutions proposed by Mr. O'Connell on Friday, and published in our last number. A meeting accordingly took place, but was very thinly attended. A few members of the Committee were present, who transacted some trifling business, and ultimately proposed that an adjournment should take place. Several Gentlemen (not of the Committee) hearing the proposition carried, thought it was intend ed for the general meeting, and departed ; others see ing them go, followed, and the mistake becoming ge neral, the ball was soon cleared. There was, in con sequence, no general meeting.—(Dublin Evening Post, Tuesday.) LOYAL OEORGIAN CLUB. We observe that the intended Meeting, whereat it was also intended to disclose the plan of the " Loyal Georgian Society," was not held yesterday. The Club, therefore, remains still unformed ; and probably will remain so, until Mr. O'Connell comes back from circuit. We have not been able to discover one soli tary individual now in the city, who approves of the projet. For ourselves we disapprove wholly of clubs ; we never could satisfy ourselves that they were service able for any public object-.—we believe they are of pub lic detriment ; but they answer the views of corpora tors and others whose interests are usually opposed to the public interest. This Loyal Georgian Club, with its six dinners per annum, combines something ludi crous with the vicious principles ofclubs in general.— (Dublin Morning. Post.) The Editor of & certain paper has regaled himself as a cow regurgitates, and chews her cud, on the recol lection how, at the de jconae given in the Lawn of the Dublin Society's Establishment, " Ile was cooled with their ice, and Was warmed with their wine," On this occasion one must observe, that this writer should be more congratulated for the felicity of his fortune, than applauded for the purity of his prin ciple, for, surely, that Patriot must betray much de reliction of duty who blows hot and cold in the same short sentence.—(Dublin Evenin' Post.) PHILADELPHIA, :I CLY 30.••••1 3 1.711LIC IMPROVEMENTS. Notwithstanding the pressure of the times, our public improvements in Philadelphia, progress with consider able rapidity.

The dam of the Schuylkill, which raises the water between nine and ten feet, and gives the most extensive water power in the United States, is nearly completed : and cast iron pipes hare been laid in several streets, in place of the wooden cor.duits by which the water was former ly distributed through the city. There are hut few prirme houses erecting, an episcopal church in Southwark, is the only place of worship founded this year. The Presbyterian church on Washington-square, which will be the most elegant religious edifice in the city, is so far completed that the congregation assemble in the prayer-room ; and so much of the northern portico of the Hank of the United States has been raised, as spews that the building, if the southern front were finished in like style, would be the principal ornament lu Philadelphia.—(Ussion.) ELEGANT INIPILOVEMET IN TRAVELLING.—The Steam boats Connecticut and Fulton, on the Sound, have on board a well chosen Library, of 800 latest Publications, for the use of their Passengers. This excellent arrange. went will render it unnecessary for Gentlemen or Ladies to take volumes in their trunks. We learn the North River Steam boats intend to follow thisexample.—(Ncw Fork Evening Post.) The proposed excursion of the Steam-ship around Long Island, offers to our citizens a most novel, agreeable and healthy recreation. As opportunity will be afforded and particularly to ladies, of having a view of the ocean's expanse, the rising and setting of the sun, and of many other objects of poetical and agreeable contemplation no where to be found but at sea. The elegant atcom modatious of the ship, her size (being 7.30 tons) and her perfect security in , all winds and weathers, are advan tages seldom if ever before offered to those whom curio sity, pleasure or health may induce to take the excursion The Robert Fulton is amply provided with every comfort and convenience of a large hotel, and it is confidently believed that no opportunity ever before occurred, em bracing so many appreciable objects, at so trifling an expence.—(lbid.) A Cvaz FOR POISON NT AaszNic.—ln Ole Schoharic Republican, of the IS July, there is a very in;nnte ac count by D octor J. Converse, of his treatment of a per son who had swallowed hale a tea spoon full of white arsenic. A persoa by din inane of John Smit'i, was confined in the gaol Sejpipprie County, on a charg e; which, if made out against him, would send hi n tot he State prison for life. To get rid of his punishment, it appears he determined to destroy his life, and with that view, swallowed the poison above mentioned. Dr. Converse determined to try the virtue of charcoal, and it appears that the - experiment has been seceessful. The account he gives of .the treatment of the ease is as . follows : " Determined to pursue the direction there laid down, (New Ragland Medical Journal, vol. 9, N 0.3,) with such alterations as my judgment would dictate, I com menced the following day, about the meridian, while the hickups continued unabated, the pulse and Imp toms generally, not much more favourable, by gi t : o il:1 half an ounce of Carb. cent, or pulverized &ar mixed in half a pint of sweet Milk every hour ;'and one half pint idol. *lie. or sweet oil r every two hosts. and.water forbis oksaussa Mak which.he teas fend of, seemed to allay in some measure his thirsit.—(From tea Albany Argue.) 'ES MA ST; [ THE ROYAL VOYAGE FRON IRELAND. (PROSE TILE DVDLIN MORNING POST, SEPT. 11.) The Royal fleet, as we announced in a former pub-- liration, sailed on Friday, after two o'clock, P. M. under a light breeze from the S. W. by W. and stood down the Channel. It blew very f-esh on Saturday. Sir W. Curtis returned to King's-town harbour on that day, having escorted the Royal squadron to sea, the wind then blowing directly against it. The following is the latest account of the squadron : King's-Town, Two o'Clock, Sunday, Sept. 9. schooner has just entered our harbour, which, sailed on Saturday evening (ram Milford Haven ; the Captain states, that the entire of the Royal squadron hail anchored in that safe refuge a very short time be fore his departure. One of the vessels (a brig) had suffer. d much in the gale ; but the Captain above-men tioned, states, that the Royal lieorge had not experi enced the most trifling injury. MILFORD, SEPTEMBER 11. The Royal squadron, with the King, sailed this morning about six (o'clock, and was clear of St. Ann's Head about eight o'clock, a. in. The wind being about west, we do not think it possible to get round the land, therefore they may run up the Bristol Channel. Another letter of the same date, says : At five, a. m. left this road his Majesty the King, with his saptadron, consisting of 16 sail of ships, brigs, and cutters; wind at W. N.

The Wellington packet arrived in this port this morning, from Dablin, and saw the Royal squadron yesterday morning, at ten o'clock, about eight or ten miles from the mou►h of 31ilforil Haven, standing across the Channel, with the wind at W. S. W. Plymouth, Tuesday, Sept. 11. This morning arrived the eamelion briE of war, from lieland, one of the Royal squadron, which she left en F; iday last in the Bristol Channel, wind blow ing hard. His Majesty, with the remainder of the squadron, may be hourly expected, shouldohe have not borne away for the Welch Coast, and landed there. Since the arrival of the Camelion, his Majesty's ship Lee, one of the same fleet has put in here. Left the Royal squadron to the westward. In consequence of the resignation of Sir Robert Baker, the Office of Chief Magistrate was yesterday afternoon conferred upon Richard Birnie, Esq. by com mand of his Majesty, through Lord Sidmouth. Mr. White, of the Queen-square Police-office, we under stand, is to be third slagistrate at Bow-street. Nineteen of his Majesty's horses, with their grooms, have arrived from Ireland. and the Royal carriages ate on their way to town. The Regulator, Portsmouth coach, brought to town, as a present to the King, a very fine turtle, weighing upwards of 500 weight. It came in the Tartar frigate, from St. Helena. itkUSSILB, SePT. 7.—The King of England is ex pected in this capital on the 13th of this month.

A Bill whirls was presented by Joseph Budworth Sharp, Secretary to the Constitutional Association, against Mr. Phipps, fur a libel in The News, was thrown out yesterday by. the (hand Jury for Middlesex. The statement we gave in our paper respecting the amount collected fur the sufferers by the fire in Prince's-street, on the first day of the collection, was incorrect. The whole amount we learn, from good authority, was 681. 15s. Id. Mr. Rowlani Hill, the candidate for the county of Salop, still remains on the Continent, but his grand father, Sir John Hill, Bart., of Hawkstone, is actively canvassing the freeholders in favour of his grandson, and no other candidate has yet started. A Correspondent of a cotemporary Journal states as follows t—A gentleman just returned from France. thinks it a duty he owes to his countrymen, to acquaint them, by every possible means that, in consequence of a law passed very recently, no mare, once landed. in France, under whatever circumstances, can be Pewm'. barked. A similar law bas long been in Atte re specting entire horses and still continues set' , The above gentleman was detained at Calais nearly a fort night, in the hope of obtaining some mitigation of this unjust act. by a petition addressed to the Director-tle neral of the Customs, at Paris, but in this he was dis appointed, his answer being that the law could not be infringed in his favour. It may be super/isms to re mark, that the law now existing has a particular pros pect to the detentbn of English mares, by which France is desirous of improving her breed of horses. The English, genetally, appear ignorant of this 'law : and avou atthe Cuitont-house at Dover, the gentleman whir writeribis wet shewn the Preach tariff of the Customs of 1814, to shew That the prohibition ex tended to stallions only. Auscoove.—An Englishman, who, attracted by the amenity of the climate, wished to fix his residence in Naples, desired his banker to look out for a villa for him, which was done, and the gentleman regularly installed in his purchase : the nest day, however, be came in mach burry and alarm to his banker, to say, he was determined to be off, for a fellow bad assailed him with a claim for 12,000 crowns, which he iirbre bad been lent balf-a dozen years ago, though tee poor Englishman was scarcely a mouth old in Italy. • How many witnesses has he got to prove it ? said-the banker. No less than ten. What is to be done ? Acknowledge having received the money. Acknowledge the debt ? Certainly, and we will get BP whimsies to• swear that they saw you repay it.

HAYMARKET NEW THEATRE.—This delightful scene. • of rational amusement was last night crowded to tea ness the representation of The Marriage of Figarei. The manner in which this performance was got np does great credit to the taste and ingenuity of the Proprie tors, and we hope will be rewarded with the success which it deserves. As we have but little time and iipacs on the present occasion, we shall take a future opportu nity of expressing our feelings with regard to the admi rable manner in which the various parts were stietainett, an(' by pointing odt the individual passages wherein the different performers excelled. Miss CAREW is, we think, deserting of every encouragement, and thoneh her suc cess is doubtless great, we expect and hope it will soon be greater. A tradesman of Shrewsbury, who weighs full ten stone, undertook for a wager, on Tuesday last, to ride his pony, rising four years old, a distance of sixty-two miles in nine hours, which won nineteen minutes all a half within the given time, without apparently dip tressieg the animal. We notice in an American newspaper that the Mar quess de :liaison Rouge, whose title to a large tract. of 90 square miles of land in the flourishing state a Louisiana, granted by the Spanish King before t h same was delivered up to the United States, and whose title had been confirmed by the decision of the Supreme Conn of the United States, has, Ruttier LI secure himself in it, got a bill passed in Congress. lit this state, lands which in ISO 3 sold at 3s. per acre are now selling front 30s. to -10 s. and rising in value every year.

On the trial he could give no satisfactory account of himself, or of the manner in which he obtained his livelihood.— (American Paper.) The enclosure of the Steyne at Brighton, which was in rapid progress, met on Saturday an n texpectel interruption. The fishermen have had he privilege of drying their nets on this lawn, and as hey allege of drawing their boats upon it, when the weattser or the tide render their removal necessary. For these privileges they ground their claim upon a document which they s ty they have in their possession, so far back as the reign of Austen Blixabeth. They thesefere demanded a gate to the Tenor, of snfficient width to admit their boats within the enclosure ; and, this being refused, they dragged and placed two of their largest boats to the lawn, and caused a suspension of the work. To avoid dispute and litigation a committee on the part of the fishermen, and another on that of the Commissioners have been named to adjust the existing differences, and the fence work is again going on. A gentlonan of very fickle disposition made so many changes in a mansion which he was erecting, and asked the advice of Ms friends so frequently about the arrangement, that it seemed a miracle that it was ever finished at all, At length, however, it was com pleted, and nothing but the giving it a name remain ed to be done: this was a sore puzzle, till a wag told him if he wanted an appropriate appellation he could give it him. *hat is it?
