If all the I tames were taken devirn it would, at least, prevent gentlemen from attending the last day only for the purpose of giving a vote, with uot knowing the merits of the case on which the tote was given . Mr. Ll rr ETON said that as the resolutions were postponed. he hoped the discussion upon the reaolutioas weuld be postponed at to lle had the happiness to know that the Itesolutions which he es al drawn up were approved of by those who had the mast prac. field knoale Ige of the esivle of appointing Cominitteeg ; he would Lot, however. enter into discussion upon them. Mr. CA ',CRAFT vindicated the conduct of the Committees. Though some interested persons had been upon them, the partial t•elency of what they might do was checked by thme who were nix interested. For his own part, tie had not ergaged in any of the many speculations of the present day, upon the principle that he ought woe to bee party to a transaction on which lie might after wards be called upon to gi.e his opinion in the character of a judge. He would venture to assert, that of the many private Bills which Tad passed through the 'House this Session, they had all been fairly sad fully extminol into in the Committee upon them. This consideration of the resolutions was then postponed to that day three weeks, which Is equivalent to a postponement of them to the seat Session. • long in operation, and which enccumged that class of persons ifl act oppressively towards the workmen. He hot.ed under ths new Act, that if complainui should unfortunately arise, the Magistrates would he as ready to listen to them against the masters as when made against the men. He confessed, he thought the latter bad not that attention paid to them which their importance to the com. munity made them deserving or. It was because be held that opinion, that he had, on all occasions since this subject was in. troduccd. exerted his humble efforts to promote the interest of the men. He hoped the Magistrates would give a favourable interpre tation to the dubious word enclewing, and was certain, that the operatives would best consult their own interest by altogether re fraining front threats, intimidation, and molestation. Mr. Secretary PECI. did not wish to protract the discussion: Imo he could not hear it insinuated, that it was the disposition of the Committee and of the House to bear hard upon the operatives', who were the matt) strength of the community, without rising to repel that insinuation. There was no disposition in that House to favour the masters at the expense of the men. There was ajust dislike to the abominable system of violence springing front cam. binatious of workmen ; but be had never heard any expression In that House so strong against combinations as those !scribed to the Hon. Member for Aberdeen. in a letter written by him to Mr. Alien, a ;ships/tight of Dundee. Mr. Hume said in that letter, that the plan proposed by the operatives relating to apprentices wcs not likely to produce the desired effect; and that if they did not act with more moderation, fdrness, and rrudence, the legfsla tore must retrace its steps, and adopt measures to stop the unreason able claims of the operatives, which were too often accompan;:d with violence. (Hear, hear.) Now, though those sentiments did not exactly coincide with the Hon. Gentleman's present sentiments, ' he (Me. Peel) was glad to give him the cledit of his former °pi ' nions. It appeared, however, that Parliament did not go so far as the (100 . Gentleman tippreheoded. Parliament did not retrace its ' step!, sod in conclusion, he had only to hope that the operatives would in future be governediby the principles of justice, and avoid these abominable combinations, so injurious to the trade of the ' country, and to their own interest. NIT. C. ELLICE thought many of the objections to the proposed measure, had been removed by the alterations proposed by I the ,Attorrfy.General. He concurred to the fullest extent io:the aetitiment expressed in the letter of his lion. Friend, which was Itnit'lead. If prices should rise, from the reduction of the pro. tenting duties, and combinations !vended with violence should continue. the consequence would be the inevitable destruction of the silk manufacture, which was one of the hest manufaftures in the country. He trusted, however, that we should hear no more ' of those acts of outrage and violence. If they were persevered in, would force the lArlslature to pass strong measures, which all must d 'precate, but olich mac under %milt circumstances slinuld oppose. Mr. 1/I AX‘VELL very notch te,red that such was the financial stato of the country—sorb the system pursued, that the prodoce of firitlsh workmen could not be brought into successful competition with that of the subjects of foreign Powers. He felt persuaded that the state of tasation was such as did not allow those wages which ' afibrd cumfortoble maintenance to the working classes. The question was then put, and the Dill passed without a di vision. out of the town. He was attended by a numcr- EING'S 7 - t7r ITRE. bus party'of the principal people here. Col.

Ile discloses the nature of his plots partially tn the Christian Knights and Armand, who apparently consents to become hit accomplice ; but on his attempting to put his plans into execution, by attacking the Sultan sword in hand, Armand inter.. poses, and again saves the monarch's life. 'Flits feat being ric onniptished, the piece cods happily In the reunion of Armand and Palmide, and to the satisfaction of all parties, except Gamines anti Felicia, who are both disappointed. the one in his hopes of a wife, anti the other in her expectations of a husband. Having thus givetran analysis of the plot of the new Opera, we come next to the hero of the piece and the evening, Signor Velluti, who made his first appearance on this occasions before a London audience, having previously attained considerable celebrity in some of the highest cir cles, in concert singing and otherwise. Velluti's voice is a very clear and sparkling soprano, possessing neither the usual attributes that distinguish male or female singers. without the solid tone cf the one or the liquid lapse that characterises the other; but with something of an inter mediate, and, we confess, to our simple ears, not very pleasing character. His tones more closely resemble those of a boy than any thing else, with of course consideraWe more volume and power. The contrast between the puerile expression of the organ and the matured skill and musical science displayed by the singer is exceedingly striking and startling in its cff'ect. If the auditor were to close his eyes he might fancy it was a youth of some nine or ten years old he was listening to—so thin and body less is the voice, did not the elaborate art displayed in the execution convince hint of the contrary. We have ex pressed ourselves dissatisfied at this violent and unnatural contrast, and the personal appearance of the singer dotes not tend to reconcile us to it. He is tall without gracefulness —his features are languid without pos>. sessing delicacy of expression—and his whole frame singularly deficient in muscular power. At his first appearance in the eighth scene of the first act there was loud and long-continued applause, mingled with some demonstrations of a contrary character; but they were sut •elued, and few in number. The business of the scene. which was principally engrossed by the chorus and ballet, did not afford Velluti any great scope for his exertiou ; and his manner of giving Popol dEgitto was not particularly striking, except for the contrast afforded between hie tones and the baritone of Remorini, which immediately followed, and produced an almost electrical effect. Non sal quale in canto, in the next scene but one, was better ; and the duet with Adriano (C urioni )in the came scene, 11 brand° insitto" was really excellent in its way, and called clown loud and well-merited applause. Ma-il deuce—tar sncro onor was delightfully given by Velluti, Madame Caradori, and Sig nora Garcia, and was encored. but, notwithstanding the performers came on a second time in obedience to the call of the greater part of the audience, it was not repeated, in consequence of there being some dissentients. 'line qua. tetto in the second act, U name ckencete, i essts well given by Armand, Palmide, Adriur.o, and Felicia, as was the sestetto, ele quest° e ultima ; but, if we were to select one passage for particular and unmixed approbation, it should be Velluti's delivery of Disarmi it few stlegno," in the last scene, which was the very triumph of mtvi•cal skill. The remaining performers exerted themselves with great effect, particularly Signora Garcia , who was rapturously enerred in the aria Giovinetto Cavalier; and Madame Ca eadori, who executed the music allotted to Palmide with great ability, particularly the passage, con quad giqja lc The Bill for amending the Combination lams passed the House of Commons last night, and was carried up to the House of Lords, where it is ordered to be read a second time this evening. A great deal of factious opposition has been made to this Bill, amp which none more important to the best interests of our manufactures has ever received the approbation of Parliament. It is unquestionable, that at • this moment large masses of the workmen are under the guidance and direction of persons who, Ly the machinery of delegation, continue to exercise an influence equally mis chievous and extensive. Those who arc practically con versant with the state of our trade, know the dangerous consequences that have resulted from the absurd and insolent extremes to which combinations have been carried. Mr. Ewer: stated last night that the silk 11/aTitCl'il:re— one of the most thriving in the country—was in imminent risk of destruction through evils of this chareeter. We have heard that in like manner several of the established branches of our manufactures • have been exposed to consi derable loss and danger. No one pretends to justify or excuse the practices in which the workmen have indulged since the repeal of the Combination Laws. No one at tempts to deny the injurious effects that must result, both to masters and workmen, from these practices. The single question then that remains, is, how they shall be sup pressed, without intcrfcring with that perfect freedom which the artisan should enjoy in disposing of his labour. The object of the Bill now before Parlia ment is chiefly to prevent the use of " violence to the person, or property, or threats, or intimidation," towards those who may not choose to comply with, or insist upon, the terms which may be required by some of the workmen. Surely there can be no doubt of . the propriety of tdis measure. Yet the Bill, of which it is thee rsential part, has been resisted by Mr. Heats and Sir F. BCRDETT, as if the constitutional rights of Englishmen • were about to he at once and fur ever abolished. With regard to Mr. [fume's opposition to the Bill, it may be worth mentioning, in order to disabuse the work men of their reliance on this sturly champion, that every clause of the Bill is iu accordance with •Itis recorded opinions at a former period, and that since the in troduction of the present Bill into Parliament, Le fully and distinctly gave his assent to its principle. The intemperate language in which he subsequently con ducted his perverse opposition deserves the reprobation of every sound and rational friend of the pubic wennc and tranquillity ; and we are convinced tl:at th very men whose bad passions lie endeavoured to inflame, will, when the present excitement has passed away, and the evil practices in question are suppressed, be the first to cond,ten the tone and spirit in which their supposed interests were defended. They will have under this Bill all that tLcy should possess: the unlimited right of consulting and agreeing together as to the rate of wages they will accept, and the hours of work they will be em ployed. All that is forbidden is the use of threats and violence, to compel the dissentient minority of their fellows to labour on the 62111 e terms that the majority may think fit to demand. catenc. . _ We have already said something of the corrpowr, " Signer Maestro Giacomo Nleyerbeer," who is a Jew, and a man of fortune. It is but seldom that those who compose for their own amusement, will for the amusement of others. Ama teur authors, whether of mirth or music, are gen:rally vast annoyance, and realize the saying of the Poet— " Your easy writing 'a hard reading." But our musical friend Meyerbcer, though an amateur, and a rich man to boot, does not entirely hear out the proverb in his own persm ; for although his music pos sesses little of a sustained and elevated eharaetet, and moreover has the limit of reminding us now and then of Rossini, yet arc there many very pleasing and felicitous movements scattered throughout, not indeed with a very lavish hand. We particularly refer to the passages be ginning " Legni ridenti," in the first, and " Con 'sal qiqin,' in the second act, as favourable specimens of this composer's style; and to the chorus of Emirs, " Nei si knzio," as recalling to our recollection Rossini. The dresses and scenery are splendid and characteristic. We now take leave of Signor Velluti—nec rir, rue metier, nec androgyne: and, deprecating all unnecessary and indecent attacks upon him, inasmuch as the weight el them falls not upon odious practices, now happily disused, but upon their victim: we ray to the assairants, in the words of Rabelais on another occasion—"Nesont ilzassez meshaignez's les pauvres dyables? Ne sent ils asses es fmnez, et perfnmez de miscre et calamiti, les pturris haires ?" " Arc they not wretched enough as it is, poor devils?— Are they not, poor reptiles, smoked and soaked through nil through with misery and calamity already ?" CITY, T -111.TRSIDAT EYESINCI. This being settling-day in the Foreign Market, the English Funds were in a great degree deserted. Consols for the opening were quoted at 918 88, and the Reduced Annuities 20 8 8. The business in the Foreign Market was principally confined to the settlement cf balances. Spanish Bonds were rather under yes. tetday's prices, the old ones being done at 211 2, and those of 1023 at 168 17. South American Securities were held with great firm ness. Colombian Bonds were 88f, and Mexican Scrip 2i discount. Another depression has taken place in Greek Scrip ; to-day it was quoted at 12 discount—the Bonds were 478. Brazilian Scrip was discount, end the Danish 3.1 3 discount. There was but very litttle variation in the Sham Market this morning. Anglo-Mexican Shares were 05 90, and those of the United Mexican Company 27 9. Rock Salt Shares were from 5 to I. The settling-day has passed off very smoothly, and the differ. encea were not large, excepting in Spanish •Bonds•and Rock Salt Shares. The former have fluctuated between 214 and 23i, and the latter between 2i and 51. These securities consequently have caused very large balances to, be paid and received.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed that the Report did not recommend &my particular plan reiatiae to the erec. thin of those proposed buildings, and without pledging himself to anything specific on the subject, lie would take that occasion to say that he was willing to concur in the support of any plan which appeared most to consult convenience and accommodation. The Report was then brought up and a Resolution agreed to, to the effect that an Address be presented to his 3lnjestv, praying that he would be graciously pleased to direct the b u ildin g o f suitable Committee Rooms for the use of the House, and also a Library allowing of convenient access for Members. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, . _ Mr. Seeretri;yPEEl.,iW voice, made a few observations preparatory to moving for leave to bring in a Bill em. powering the Insolvent Debtors' Court to dispense in some carts with the necessity of prisoners residing within the walls. Mr. A BERCRO3IBY agreed with the Right Hon. Secretary, that there might exist a necessity for such a dispensation, and he would take that opportunity of observing, that throughout the' country generally there prevailed a feeling very favourable to the Insolvent Debtors Act, and he hoped that nothing would arise likely to alter such a sentiment. lle trusted that the proposed Bill would not have that effect, and that the public might be. induced to' acquiesce in a temporary repeal of one of its clauses, supposing it to be called for by some pressing emergency. Mr. HOIGIOUSE feared that something had occurred to make it necessary for the Government to adopt such a step. Mr. Secretary PEEI. assured the House that nothing but • mast pressing emergency would have induced him to come forward to the House with that proposition—nothing less than the certifi. ece of a physician would have induced him to apply for the leave which he then sought. —Leave granted.

From the protracted period to which the exalt:ins:ion of witnesses' had been carried down, it wan inipmaible to expect any detailed ob- serrations upon that evidence; indeed, it was not drawable to hate a commentary upon all The points of local arrangement.. and the variety of topics brought l'efore the attention of the Committee; neit"er wan it nectarine, perhaps, to bent their obiscreatians upso that most important subject, the CatholicQuestlon, after site ample discussion It had so trequently undergone in drat Houser but it would be very dairable, in hie opinion, that that Committee should be reappointed Pent Session of Parliament. add be called upon to famish their oheerratinia on enure of the topics in the re., pert to be speeilied tot their consideration. T he report was then Iteenght up. E PIA/I'M ENT OF THE PEOPLE. Mr. 8. RICE presented a petition from the county of Limerick, praying for the employment of the distressad people of that district. livinurable Member presented a similar redden from due county of Westmeath. CA !MILE. Ilr. BROUGHAM presented a petition from Richard Carllle, oomnlaining of hardships and undee severity, and n. a conviction for a blasphemous libel. The petitioner was :it present confined In the goal of Dorchester. He had been convicted In the year 181 n, and then sentenced to a fine of and to there years' imprison. meet. He had not paid the tine, and his imprisonment was con. tinued, and if it were to continue until that fine were paid, it would amount to a perpetual Imprisonment. There was the greater hardship in the e.‘se of the petitioner, as a difference of opinion pre. yrled amongst the most eminent authorities, rrhAher or not the oflrrce f i at which the petitioner suffered, was or was not punishable at cornatoo law. Sir llatthew Hale, an eminent and a high authority, sated that it was so. Lord Coke, in titter and a higher autfterity, said that it was not, and in the eminicration of cfl'onces, it was made cognisable, not at common law, but before an ecelesi mtical tribunal. Ile (Jr. Brougham) wished to disclaim partici pation to Me opinions and principles of the petitioner. (Hear, hear.) He felt it to be hie duty, however, to present the present prition, and although he did differ widely from hint, he thought all puniabrnenta for the free entertainment of opinions were most ob. ctiittable. Although a person was an Atheist, (if such a thing there could be) yet it one impolitic, in his opinion, to punish him for the expression of his opinions or the promulgation of them. in promulgating them, however, he was guilty of any thing in -1 'leant, then he was liable to punishment for the indecency, far I I - , at W* 4 an offence punishable by common law ; hut for the were entertainment of capreselon of opinions, ■ person ought not, in Ira (Mr. B.'s) opinion, he liable to penalty. MR. BUR aOY Mr. Secretary PEEL sald'ehat as the rose or this gentleman had been referred to by an Hon. Member (Mr. Brougham) net reed in his piece, he had attended to the subject, and lie found that the delay cumpleined of in his case was occasioned by the necessary interven. tton of the Coot of King's Bloch before the Ecclesiastical Court weld come to • final decision. Nothirg that he (Mr. Peel) could do ir. the business would at all expedite its completion. lie had no hesitation, however, in ',tying, that if the case hail not been al. ready taken up li: would have felt it his duty, en the part of the Cmwn, to advise that it should be taken up and prosecuted. (Hear, bear. IeXPOIITATION OF MACHINERY. Mr. IiUM E. oashe bringing up of the Report of the Bill rela tive to machinery, observed, that the Committee had not come to any decision as to the expertatinn of machinery. A petition bad been preferred to the House by the Hon. Member for Staffordshire (Mr. Littleton), stating diet it would be destructive to the superiority in enichinera which this counter enjoyed if free exportation were per mitted. For his part, he did not ace why the free policy adopted with respect to other branches of manufacture should not be ex. tended to this department also. lie begged also to state, that these was nothing in the evidence taken before the Commitment all shut lar or corresponding to the sediment in the petition. Thom ob. serrations he has induced to offer, in the hope that Gentlemen du!. tag the recess would attend to the whiten- and be prepared to coati to ft decision upon it in the course of next Session. 'The Ittp-rt was then brought up. Mr. F. rALMER moved roe a Return of the names of all the towrships and parishes in the kingdom which extended over two et more counties. secretary PEEL agreed to the proposition that they be laid on the table.

Flit ewe ' contained in the letter of the King, On the 22d June Till, be laid on the table.—Agreed to. COMBINATION LAWS. The ATTI I IRNEY-(iliN ERA le on the third reading of the Bill en the Combination Laws, said that he had introduced three amendments into the Bill since it was last before their con sideration, whilst) wield., he thought, be acceptable to the House. The lira was, appointing a lintitariin of time as to the period a: which the prosecution for offences under the Act should take place. He could theeefore propose that it be insiituted within six months after the commission of the alleged ofience. The eecond clause he proposed to introsluce was. that the ftecieted party sticuld have the privilege of appeal from the decision of a Magi,- trate. (Hear, hear.) This would do away with the objections that bad been tingle -to the wiarmary jurisdiction of the Alfteistrecy. Lilt then he would :require what was but fair—that the petoop tusking the appeal shouldwertet into reeegnizeuces, himself in 104 wed two persons i h lei. each, to prosecute; and in the trent of Iseure to reverse the decision of the Magistrate. . that he should' ray the costs of the trial. The third clause which he should re n pose was, that instead of an termer of imprisonment Le investe d is the elfteiAtrete to cuatiae a perenu refusing to answer gerations put to Lim by a Magistrate, that power should net extted heyar.d imprisonment re: three mouths. fie had pro. penal these clauses fro.:) a feeling which he observed to prevail on the points to which they referred, and he hoped they would meet satisfa non of the House. • Mr. HIJSKISSON said, if this Bill should cease at the end of a yeti, the common law toted revive, and the object was to protect the workmen /neediest the revival of the common law. The clause was then age 'ci to. The AI"PORN LA' -GENE Ili,. rose to propose a new clause, giriog Magistrates the power of awarding costs at the Quartet /Keelson. The clause wits agreed to end ordered to be committed. • The House then resolved itseft into a Committee on the clause, which passed without opposition. Toe House then resumed, and Mr. BROODEN brought up the• teepSet, which was read and agreed to. Tee clause was then reed a third time. Mr. HUME said, the alterations made by the Learned Gent. (the Attorney-General) had centered this Bill much less ehiee t.enable than it was when that introduced. If.two other ohjections we'e taken away he should feel great pleasure in giving his support to the DUL . The objectionable matters which lie lied alluded to were, the use of the incletini.e word `k moiestattot a " and tire per neesine that masters shauld net as magistietes. 'The Magistrates seeuid he above suspicion, which- amid not be the case if those in. tereetee were allowed to act. Mr. Hume cottchwted by moving a else,. that no manufacturer, or the eon or father of a manufacturer,' shads! sex under the provtiens of this Act. The chines was negethred without a division. Mr. f;eILCRAFT proposed an alteration in the preamble of the Sir F. III:RDETT greatly disapproved the continuance of the word molestation in the Bill. If ebb: word was ermined the Bid :Fluid meet the general concerrenee of the House ; at ell sinnte. if it he retained, the word should be construed, and the acts in which I molestation consist should be plainly declared. Toe proposed alteration of the preamble was adopted withou opuesition. Mr. 111/31E contended that the preamble would be at variance witu the Bill if the word molesting' was retained. Mr. S. Vi - ORTLEY objected to the omission of the word " mo lesting." lie was surprised that the lion. Baronet and the lion. Gentleman did not perceive the apeiiention of that word. His priacipal object in rising was to cone:Mut a misrepresentation of west he had stated in the (louse lest tight.

The only intelligt nee in the French papers which arrived last night relates to the Greek contest. The Austrian (M -otive, reluctantly confirms the intelligence of the victory Of MIAULIS, and the other successes of the Pa'riots. Old Navarino, of which las/tutu PACHA had obtained pos session, is only a sort of letc-de-post, by which the Isle of Sphagia is covered on the north side. This Isle closes the Bay of Navarino, in the southern part of which the real fortress, or New Navarino, is situated. There will be an end, we suppose, now, to the system of fabricating news unfavourable to the Greeks. We give the article front the Austrian Older rer at length, as it is of importance, as the admission of a decided enemy that the Greek cause is triumphant. [From the Etoile, dated Wednesday.l The Austrian Observer was eon/thievishly in sneer with news from Turkey. In its number of leth June, it at length gives a letter from Constantinople of 23th May. It is of execeeive length, and contains, in a great degree, only facts already known ; but it confirms, at last, the triumph of the Greeks. The following is $ faithful extract from it : The Sultan lately lost his two eldest sons ; the smallpox has sow deprived hint of his daughter Minira. In consequence, all the public reioieines usual at the commencement of the Heiman have bees prohibited. Some important 64540040 taken tisce in the admlnistratiot of the Imperial treasury. Amore remarkable nomination is that of Ahmed Chelasse Kffeeth, first Ma i tre des Bemeetea (this is the French title that the Artstritss Observer gifts him) to the dignity of 'fbehausch Becht, or Grand Marshal of Me Empire. Baron de Mattita, hitherto only Minister resident of Prussia to the Porte, has been mired by his Sovereign to the rank of Ambassador Extra. ordinary • and M. de Costello, Consul General of Spain at Odessa, has arrived at Constantinople, with the title of Charge d'Affaires. The accounts from Western Greece speak favourably of the first movement at' Rettechot Yacht to advance to Missolemeti, which it beeer defended by its position between the sea and marshes than be its fo tificattons. Itedschid cannot attempt more than a mere bl wkaee on the land side, because the etentounications of the Greeks by sea are quite free. No action has yet been fought in that quarter. Ire have much less precise accounts of what has passed in Eas.em Greece. A Proclamation of General Goitre denounces to the Greeks the Englislinian Trelawny as the infamous agent when) the Turks had employed to corrupt Odysseus. The latter is de cidedly in prison, where be awaits has trial. The siege of Navarino, by Ibrahim Pacha, has given occasion to several very warm actions. That of the 19th April, in particu lar, was attended with great loss on both sides. The Egyptians I ot in it their Cahnaca a, anti their Kiaja Bey ; that is to soy, their tee chief commanders next to Ibrahim. tin the I Ith May, the Egyptians occupied Ohl Navarino, situated in the little island of Sphaggia. On the 12th, the fortress of Navarino offered to capitu late, upon terms which lborfaim thought too advantageous. The lire was then reitened, as well with the heavy cannon lately arrived from Egypt, as with that of the twelve ships of war at an ther in the port. The Greeks did not return this fire, and re. utained in their casemate'. Every thing announced the speedy surrender of the place, and it would have been impossible for it to have resisted long, but for the efforts of Admiral bliaulie, the nem daring and most able of the Captains, who had the boldness several times to traverse the Egyptian fleet, and to penetrate to ' the town of Nayarit" where he landed soldiers and ammunition. The Weeks are also indebted to the assistance of several Eutopeata officers, of different nations, among whom the PiedmonteseGeneral, Santa Rosa, is mentioned. But after the despatches arrived from Smyrna, and the report of the Dutch Colonel Bottlers, who quitted the roads of Motion on the 12th May, at tine o'clock, p. in., and who was sill oft' the roast, the following night, it is proper to wait to see what in fluence the events that took place in the nigh: of the 12th of May will have on the operations of the Egyptian army in the Mecca. 'e must re-capitulate what preceded these events. At the beginning of April the Egyptian fleet, composed of 9 nigntee, 10 corvette', and 21 brigs and echeoners, had returned train Motion to Suds, to embark the reinforcemente expected from Egypt. Seven clays after, the Egyptian squadron, of II ' sail, which had re-victualled Paints, also returned to Suda. On the 23ili of April appeared the convoy front Egypt, consisting oil European vessels, having ow Ward 2,inio troops and anununi-1 tion, artillery, boneseate. On the 27th the whole nest united, amounting to 91 vessels, sailed front Soda, and doubled Caps -Mattes. The next day Admiral bliattlie appeared with 26 vessels; and notwithstanding the inferiority of number, he was going to attack the Egyptians, wheel a dead calm set in. All the following days lie continued to pursue the enemy. lie lost two fire-shipa r but he was on the point of entirely &merot log an Eapkirag frigate. The Egyptian fleet succeeded in reaching blodon, but already, on the 3tl May, 31inulis was fn sight, and a cannonade took place, which had little effect, because the Egyptian+, notwithstanding the efforts of Ibrahim Pacha himself, who went on board a faucet to encourage them, did not dare to approach the Greek vessels. Things remained in this mete till the 2d May. Ibrahim riche had returned to the camp before Navarino to press the siege, anal the Egyptian fleet, which was reinforced on the 10th by the Al. gerine squadron, was at anchor in the port and in the roads of Motion. All at once. says the report of Col. Ruttier, the Greek fleet appeared on the 12th May, at six o'clock in the evening, under the command of Admiral bliaulis, to the number of ivessels. Miaulis advanced between the islands of Cabrera and Sapienza, and detached four fire.shies against the Turkish vessels an-, citoreil in the position. Several of them immediately stood out to sea ; but the Asia ftigate. of forty-four sues, bulk 1 in Sweden, at the expense of the Viceroy of Egypt, was over-I, taken by a fire-ship, and devoured by the tiantes in less than a quarter of an hour. Two corvettes and three brigs, two of' which defended themselves for a long time, had the mime fate, as well as several transports that well near shared the saute fate. (The re port estimates the number at '2O or more.) Col. Bottler declares betides, that when he was already at a dis tance from Motion, he heard, at half-past ten st night, and at half past twelve, two dreadful explosions, tiom which he infers that time powder magazines of the fortress must have been blown up. The Caphan Paella has steered with his fleet towards the Ar chipelago : he cannot possibly avoid meeting with Adm. Sseeturis, win is cruising with the second Greek fleet off el itylene.
