. s - istelligeace to which we refer, is that of the lotion °earner of the 20th instant, from which it lifer s that the Porte has not only agreed to the de „awls of Russia, for the evacsatioe of the northern p o • , r palities. but has proceeded to carry them into wartime. By the saute channel we leers that en estraerdinary courier bad arrived from St. Petersburg and that another, coming from the former, kl pcs,..l through the latter capital for Vienna. The following is the article to which we allude:— " VIENNA, MAT 20. .. sews from Walachia and Moldavia, at the begin. i i s i of the present month, communicate the following & l unation On the Ist there arrived at Bucharest a tatar (a con ris,) who communicated to Kiaja Pacha important or I to , The Paella proceeded on the evening of the same ie company with the Commissarv-I nspector A atlschi Erin .lee, in haste to Silietria. before be departed, b a s,wr, he ordered the chiefs of the Asiatic troops to l ie a ssembled, and commanded them to hold themselves i s rea.liness for their departure towards home.

The same article contains an account of the pro ne.lings against the island of Selo and of a measure adopted at Constantinople on the 13th ult. to Iran. if,. minds of tile Christians. From these ac counts we may infer that, by the arrangement between its Porte and Russia, the Oreeks have been abandon nl to the Turks, and that the latter are determined to genre them by the united influence of eajollery and tenor. The following is the measure to which we refer : " Tersan•i-Kiajani who, during the absence of the raptain Paeha, superintends the administration of police is the capital, received from the Porte an order to take slider Lis special protection the religious festivals of the tirrtka during Easter, and was s inade responsible that uPither the Greeks nor the Armenians should receive any turbance or molestation during the solemnity. The (4/Iwo - pence was, that not only in the Greek and Aren t:as churches, all the religious ceremonies, professions, .id observances, were conducted with the most perfect pace and order, but the festivities which followed were enjoyed by the Week* in their old style and in the most minterrupted tranquillity.' The same article proceeds %Ai that on the 21st of April the Patriarch was in uwito the palace of the Sultan. As this was the anal wary of a lamentable event, the circumstance excited tarsal interest.

Lord Colchester (late Speaker of the House of Com mons) his Lady, Captain Abbot (who was at Algiers with Lord Exmouth), the Hon. P. Abbot, and family, arrived yesterday afternoon from his Lordship's country seat at Kidbroolte, from Italy, passing through France, on ,Saturday last. His Lordship, it is under stood has returned to Hogland mainly with the view of attending his Parliamentary duties, and chiefly, it is rumoured, with the view of taking part in the dis cussions on the Roman Catholic Peers' Bill. The Princess of Orange was deli►ered of a Prince on the 21st instant, at the Chateau of Soesdyck. Her Royal Highness and the young Prince are doing well. A French Nobleman, of Irish extraction, Lally Tolleadabl, has sent 251. from Paris, to the fund for the distressed Irish. The New York papers mentio■ that the exchange too Wand bad fallen from 14 to 7 per mot., sad the United States' Bank Stock had also fallen from 112 to 100. Extract of a letter, dated Kingston, April 12:— " You heard lately that the coasts of the Spanish main were blockaded by the Spaniards; but the Patriots have now gained the ascendancy at sea, and have established a blockade in their turn. What is better is, that theirs is a real and not a paper blockade ; and our Admiral has given notice to the Royalists that he will not sanction any blockades of the latter description. The Bastard sloop of war sailed a week ago for Maracaibo. Our advice. from Panama are ex mutely gratifying. The three Spanish frigates in the Pacific have gone over to the Patriots. This we learn from Col. O'Leary, the President's Aide-de•Camp, who has marched thither with 700 tr•tops for the purpose of cutting off Murgeon's re treat from Quito. The Tamar is just in from Vera Crux. Captain Sir W. Wiseman had been in Mexico, and all was going on well there. We have accounts also from Santa Pe of the 24th of March, where affairs were going on prosperously." Letters dated the 16th inst. were received yesterday from ()coos, which state that intelligence had arrived there of the appearance of the plague in Algiers.

Several of these we have before enumerated are daily expected, but the difficulty of procuring any kind of freight at the port of Calcutta has so greatly increased, that considerable delay may perhaps be experienced in the dispatch of some of them. Freight to England is now down to 31. 10s. per ton, which we believe is lower than at any former period since the opening of the trade ; the eonseqnences must be ruinous to the shipping interests. if this depreciation continues." AFRICAN COLONY. —The follOwingveryansatisfactory coonsusication respecting the new settlement has reached us:- - - Cape•Tairs. Feb./. 1822. • I sus norry:ie-miysike-ooelem so "melee very treating accounts merman' the *migrants, many of whom are absolutely -starving, on account of their crops having twice failed, and the Oovernesent rations have been reduced. The Committee for their relief at Cape-Town have already distributed 10,000 rix del- Isrs, and the balance now on hand is only 1,600 rix dollars. If any of our friends feel inclined to help their poor fellow-countrymen, donations will be thank fully received, and, I think I may add, will be well ap plied through the means of the Committee."—Edin berth Courant.) The above is, as will be perceived, from an Edin burgh paper ; but we have ourselves also learned with some pain from other quarters, that the plan of emi gration to the Cape has not been successful, and that the money appropriated is that purpose has in truth been wasted. We have likewise heard that the com plaints of the colonists, though rising into perfect in dignation, have been smothered as much as possible, and kept from public notice, from an apprehension, which even the colonists themselves feel, that by io dolging in invectives against their rulers, they might forfeit their only chance of relief from the Cape. The Governor of this settlement, Lord C. 11. Somerset, has the enormous salary of ten thousand pounds a-year. It would be difficult to persuade a person so endowed, that there is any distress in his vicinity ; or if there is any, that those who feel it should cry out.--(Morning paper.) The National Intelligencer states, that of the pre sent Members of the House of Representatives of the United States, there are Itinety.seven 151,3 ere, fifty nine faunas and planters, thirteen merchants, fifteen physicians, four manufacturers, and one clergyman.

Tills Society includes the names of a nuusberof metnbers of both Houses of Parliament, and of Foreign Ministers; and, among those of other persons, that of Mr. Robert Owen. It appears as if no small portion of that Gentleman's plan was likely to be adopted and acted on by this Society ; Mr. Owen having consented to withdraw those parts to which the chief objections have been made. The report of the Committee, which excites no small degree of curiosity, will be read to morrow, when the General Meeting of the Society takes place. GRAND BALL FOR THE RRLIEF OF NIP SUFFBRIXO This splendid Assembly took place last night, un der the superintandeace of a Committee of twelve Noblemen, and from the preparations which had been making for it fur some day* past, and the converse lieu itexelted at the west end of the town, expectation was highly raised respecting its magnificence. Throughout the day, a number of labourers were employed in erecting barriers around the Theatre, for the purpose of keeping off the populace, and regu lating the approach and departure of the carriages. Others were engaged in elevating framework of de vice; for exterior illuminations along the satire front of the building. The most conepiesoas and appro priate of therm, were the words "Brio go Brogh," im mediately over the principal entrance; but these illuminations, from some cause or other, were not car rried into effect. AS eight o'clock is the evening the Surrounding streets became animated with innumerable groups of gaily-dressed persons, promenading in every direction, and Wag lines of aspleedid eqeipagers and gaudy live ries slowly approaching the great centre of attraction. The crowd directly in frost of the theatre, and for a icooslderablerdistance up the Haymarket, as very dense, and ether rude. Nevertheless, so Om was the desire to obtain instant admission to the loterior tptiodours evea at that early hour, that my of the carriages discharged their precious burdens as far up the Haymarket as Panton-street, and their plowed in mates were content to make their way throegh the rdae multitude with most exemplary hardihood ; and in some instances with considerable disarrangement of costume. As the night advanced the confusion be came greater. There seemed to be some col:ander standing in the admission department, for the numer ous doors in front of the Theatre were occasionally closed, and whole " bevies of fair dames" were com pelled t s wait beneath the colonnade, shivering at the night breeze, and the discordant noises of the mul titude, for threetqaarters of an hour together, whilst their Attendant beaux stood by in miserable helplessness. Os the western side of the Theatre matters were much better managed. Early la the evening it was endetetood that the King bad been pleased to signify his idtention of entering on this side of the house ; and iii consequence, the gond people who inhabit the Arcade removed the sashed fronts from their shops, fitted them up with • benches, amohitheatre-wise, and let seats readily at high prices. Every thing was here more select; is the multitude did not appear to be aware of the arrangement, and continued in the Hay market, and the Cockspar- aaaaa t end of Pall Mall, in full expectation that the King would enter by the same door as Tuesday evening. At ten o'clock an escort of Lancers took up their ground in front of the Palace, and about the same lim a detachment of the Grenadier Guards lined the Ar cade from one extremity to the other. From ten till half-past ten was takes in the strangensent of the mili tary, and the assembling of the Committee within the vestibule of the Arcade entrance, for tire proper recep tion his Majesty. Field Marshals. thrld Sticks, sod Silver Sticks, and &one, and Lords of she Bedeillember, he. &e. were continually hurrying to andaiffall was brilliant abrasion. At length, precise y at half-past ten, a loud shout, accompanied by a flourish of trumpets, proclaimed the approach of the King. His Majesty left the palace in a car riage drawn by two cream-coloured horses, and having alighted at the end of the Arcade, advanced along ii on Toot with his Royal Highness the Duke of York on his left, and the Duke of Devonshire on his right, sur rounded by the great Officers of State, anti preceded by the Yeomen of the Huard. His Majesty wore a full dress military noiform of scarlet and gold. His Royal Highness end the Duke of Devonshire appeared in the same splendid costume. The King appeared in the enjoyment of full health, and highly delighted with the scene around him. TIM PALL ROOM. The preparations that had been made by the Com mittee, were fully commensurate with the greatness of the occasion. The Pit of the Theatre was made level with the Stage, so as to give the whole one mitten% appearance, and this, forming the principal saloon, was appropriated to the promenade and to dancing. In the front of the House was his Majesty's box, which was so arranged, as to occupy a large sweep of ordinary boxes, and to contain all the Members of the Royal Family, and their trains of Noble Attendants. The decorations which surmounted it, formed the frost of a tent, and reached to the gallery. The dra petits were of the contrasted hues of crimson anti white, ornamented with the silver ficur de and a Crown rested upon the whole, surroun,l,- , 1 with digs and trophies of various descriptions. The front of that portion of the Royal Box immediately appropri ated to the use of his Majesty and his Royal Highness the Duke of York, displayed the King's Arms embla zoned in the richest manner, anti shining with increased lustre from the blaze of three chandeliers of the most exquisite wor k manship, which were suspended over the centre. At the back of the stage, directly oppo. site to this tent, rose another of still greater magnifi cence and size. It was elevated above the floor, and composed of pink and white draperies, whose folds and hangings evinced the finest order and taste. It was supported by columns banded in gold, and adorned with various emblematical gronpes and trophies. At the back were stationed the Royal band, and the sides were lined with the choicest exotics and shrubs. 't he centre was occupied by a large transparency, consist ing of 'an allegorical subject appropriate to the occa sion. A superb effect was produced by this correspond , ing splendour in the two extremities of the scene. which was heightened by the decorations of the bad) of the house. From the ceiling were suspended large festoons and wreaths of laurel inter woven with rosettes of gold, and of the national colours ; and the space Inetweeu each tier of boxes displayed orhaments of a similar description. Oa his 31ajesty's entering the house Le was conduct ed to hisbox by the Duke of Montrose, the Lord Chain berlaio, and the Duke of Devonshire, and was follow ed by their Royal Ilighnesses, the Duke of York, Princes Augusta, Princess Sophia, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Prince and Piincets of Den mark. As soon as his Majesty appeared; the bands played " Hod save the King." The company standing up, after which they played the much-admired tune of " Patrick's Day in the Morning." His Majesty stood the whole time, and in viewing the immense museum. blage of personages present, seemed highly gratified, and kept conversing alternately with the illustrious personages on his right and left ; and when seated her Royal Highness the Princess of Denmark sat on hie left, and his Royal Highness the Prince of Denmark e his right, together with his Royal Highness the Dike of York a na the other branches of the Royal Family.— Their Highnesses Prince and Princess Esterhazy were on the lefe of the Princess of Denmark in another seat. which wee Only divided by a curtain, which his Majesty caused ,to he withdrawn, and conversed with their High• In the coorse of the night his Majesty visited several of the Nobility and Gentry in their different boxes. At the moment of his Majesty's entry every part of the theatre was crowded to excess; not a single box was naorcupied—the saloon from one end to the other was literally crammed. The company of course was as fashionable as numerous. No gentlemen were ad mined except in uniform, or in fall court dress ; the proportion was, however, full three to one in favour of the former. The ladies, composing the majority of the company, were dressed in robes of white, taste fully adorned with shamrock, sad sparkling with jewels, and decked according to the present fashier,,•; with a profusion of ostrich feathers ; and spate ' the whole, taking the rank aid number of lisa company, so splendid an assembly has not bees witnessed since the King's Coronation. For a while the scene itself appeared the only enter tainment to be exhibited. VitsTRIS and VoLIT, how ever, at length opened the Hall, and the Gavotte of the Allard de ra Corr was gracefully performed. Tben followed, at some slit: ht intervals, a quadrille by all the principal dancers of the Theatre, a pas de dm, in which D AAAAA 24141h8 made herself conspicuous, sad repetition of the gavotte by Paul. and MittCAXDOTTI. a very elegant and animated peformance. The fete was in full display about 12 o'clock. His Majesty left at two o'clock. BETTING AT TATTERSALL'S, MAT 110. DONCASTER ST.

COIMESCBANO6, MAT 31.—Owing to the fineness of the weather and some fresh arrivals, the market was very dull this morning, and nothing bat the finest samples could be disposed of, at a reduction of NI per • quarter.—ln Barley we had a great supply, and the price may be quoted as per Monday.—There was a good demand for Oats of prime quality, hot the inferior sorts are cheaper. SMITIMILD-MARKET.--The market was rather shortly supplied this morning in Oxen, but io Lamb and Mut ton it was good.

Ssq. which is expected to be fit f r reaping, should the weather prove favourable, about the 20th of July.—(lbid.) CLOSNICL, Stav 25.—1 n oar immediate district, it is a most cheering reflection, that no scarcity is felt or apprehended, as the crops have a most luxuriant appearance, and promise to be more abundant than they have been for years past. In proof of this we have to state, that several large ears of Oats were taken yesterday out of a field in the North Schacht of this Town, occupied by Mr. Kenny. This is the third crop without manure, the last of which, sawn on stubbles, in September, was simply covered with the earth from the trenches, without having been ploughed. It is supposed that this field of corn will be ripe by the lst of July. New potatoes appeared in our mar ket yesterday, which brought 6J. per lb.—(Cloamel Advertiser.) Titowrino.—Mr. Hutchins undertook yesterday to trot a galloway three miles in eleven minutes, on the Staines road, for a stake of 50 guineas. and to carry feather weight. The galloway did it in four seconds within the time, wihont making a break. Mr. Aldridge's match, to trot his horse fifteen miles within an hoar, and to carry 12 stone, took place on a three mile circle, on the Ashford road, after the other race, for 200 guineas; and each three miles was per formed as follows: min. sec. min. sec.

The third match was to trot 10 miles in an hour with a hackney, and to carry IS stone. The horse fell, but could not have done it at any rate. Ito %Ix.; Marce.-a-Yesterdav a bard contest took place between Mr. Hodson and Mr:Webber, gentlemen who were formerly members of the Funny Club, tor a bet of 501. to row in two pleasure-boats from Battersea Bridge to Fulham Bridge and back again. The match was kept a erofound secret, except to the friends of the par tier. hoots, the celebrity of the opponents, who are at Fast 40 years old, it however created a considerable de gree of interest, and a great number of boats filled with their friends graced the river, and attracted a vast con• course of persons inorant of the affair, who were upon the banks. 51r. I lodson kept the lead mostly all the way, but in passing Yound the pier of Fulham Bridge, and shooting backward through the arch, Mr. Webber got first, and in a few minutes shot a-head at consider able distance, which he maintained apparently with great ease till he came to Battersea Bridge, where it was announced by the umpires that be won the bet most fairly.
