Counsellor of Leg,ation to the Russian Embassy had, in fact, been plundered and burnt, bat it appears to have been by accident, since aevoeding to the latest ac counts, the most friendly understanding prevailed between the Porte and the %mien Ambassador, Baron Strogonoff, and the latter had renewed the assurance of the strictest centrality on the part of Russia. For the rest, there cannot be the slightest ides of an insurrection of the Greeks in the capital, they being wholly destitute of arms, the late Patriarch, who was so infamously murdered, having, when he issued hie anathema, caused the arms of all the Greeks to he demanded from them and de livered to the Sultan. The Sultan, of his own authority, appointed a new Patriarch; but" 94t Porte has hitherto left the right of election 'ln the superior Greek Clergy, reserving only the Tight of confirming the election, the new Patriarch MI% under these circumstauces, considered by the, Greek Christians to have been forced upon them by the Infidels. Meantime, however, it is said, that the newly-appointed Patriarch died the next day from fright at his elevation, which took place under the most inauspicious circumstances. Accounts from Semlin, of the ititd inst. say, that a report was spread at Belgrade, that the Turkish corps besieging Joaunins, under the committal of Jessaf Paella, had been entirely destroyed, and that Jassaf himself was among the killed. At the same time we hear again from various quarters of the murder of Ali Riche, and the seizure of his treasures by the Greeks ; but as this news has been spread fir these three weeks, and is not confirmed by authentic intelligence, it must still be consi dered as doubtful. as much The following Proclamation was published at Corfu on the 12• h of May : B.

The Greeks make their escape from Constaothlople during the night, and repair to the Archipelago.

LONDON, SATURDAY, Juii 16, 1621. _ • Mr. 411:1111Allti'll Bill for repealing the tax on husbandry horiels - was lust night read a second time in the !louse Or Common,, and ordered to be re ferred to the Cothinittee on Monday nest. Mr. Lusatenrom wished that the Committee might be appended fur Tuesday, in the assurance, no doubt, that notices having precedence on that night, the Committee on this Bill should be further postponed, but the fiends of the Bill persisted in appointing Mondry for the consideration of the details of this measure. The Ministers are certainly determined to overthrow the hopes of relief which the agricul. tural part of the country must have entertained from the success of Mr. Cuawsx's first motion. In the same manner the Ministers disappointed the expectations of the people on Mr. WESTERN'S motion, and *hewed that they bud no intention of affording any relief to a class of the people which, perhaps more titan any other, feels the distresses and disabilities which have fallen upon the coun try since the return of peace. Upon that flees -61011 we remarked upon the want of policy and of wisdom that was manifested by the Ministers in reversing the opinion of the House of Commons, as it had been expressed upon the first motion, re lating to a mitigation of the malt duty ; and the same principle applies, with perhaps still more force at the present moment, to the threatened conduct. of the Ministers upon the agricultural horse tax, fur to the repeal of this tax the firmer, have long looked with great anxiety. The CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER contends, that having submittrd his budget to the House, he will find the repeal of any tax a great inconvenience to him; but the abolition of one or two useless offices, or the reduction of the salaries attached to /I few sine cures, would enable him to afford this very season able relief to the agriculturists. and assist, through thrill, every class of the community. The Bill for appointing Commission ceed to Ireland for the purpose of inquiring into .the state of the revenue of that country, and of correcting whatever abuses they may discover in the mode of collecting it, went last night through the Committee. to pro- In another part of oar Paper will be found an ex tract from certain official returns laid before Par liament respecting the state of the import trade of b e h in d, f r om witch it will appear that in the quan tities of nine, foreign spirits, and tobacco, there has been a very considerable reduction, as com paring the year 1820 with the year 1800 ; and that in teas and sugars there has been rather an increase. The quantity of French wine imported in the year 1800 era+ 657 tuns; in the year 1812 it was at the highest 881 tom; hut in the year 1820 it did not exceed 82 Inns. The Madeira wine imported in 180 C was 65 tuns; in 1808 it amounted, when ft .. the highest, to 210 letaerlet ill 1920 it was only 72 tuna. Of port witse..the quantity imported into" bellied in ;11800 was 5.791 tuns; it was in 1820, the Rbessish "is* fell from 46 tuns to 4 tuns t and even in Cape wi n e thei e h a i been in the last year ;treat falling 'off, far theleart tity imported into Ireland is 1819, when it was at the highest, was 617 tuns, bet in 1840 it did n o t excaerr. 416 tons. In tobacco the falling off is very consideset:' We, for in 1800 the quantity imported into lr:elanr, was 7,744,6911b5., but in 1820 it amounted only to' 3,113,8091b5. The revenue of Ireland - has been i very much diminished by the imposition of very heavy duties which have wholly discouraged con.' soniption, but the Treasery has been also defraudeci by the gross misconduct of the generality of the per sons employed to collect the revenue, and by the enormous expenses at which the system is put into action. The ordinary expense of collecting the revenue in Great Britain does not exceed 7 per cent. on an average; but in Ireland the average , expense exceeds 20 per cent.. The Commissioners will have a laborious task 10 perform, and one which will bring upon them much personal ill will; and perhaps some odium, if they perform it ho nestly and faithfully; but their services will be eventually rewarded by the approbation of the country, and by the conviction that, in removing the gross abuses that now rankle in the system, they will confer a lasting benefit upon the Govern ment and the empire in general. His MAJESTY'a visit to the Duke of DEVON SHIRE ott . Thursday has excited considerable in terest. The dinner party did not exceed thirty.

It is stated under the head of Ulm, the :id instsotobat the Civil Section of the Superior Corn missiou established at Turin, for the purpose of de ciding upon the fate of the persons implicated in the late resolution in Piedmont, have made a report, in which they state that they are iirevented frcim proceeding ag ainst said persons, by the amnesty granted by the lima, and also by the omission of the formalities required by the fundamental laws of Sardinia. The Military Section of the Commission has not made any report on the subject. The Milan Gazette, of the 31st May. contains a letter from CHAal.laS FtLIX, the new King of Sar dinia, to Field-Marshal BtiattA, in which he says, that next to the suistaoce of the Almighty, he owes the preservation of his States to the powerful protection of his august Allies, and the seal of the Field-Marshal in the good cause. These Paper* contain intelligence from Madrid tothe 2d instant. It states, that the Cure Maairso, far from being ' killed, has iuued a circular in Old Castile, put. ling 400 horses in requisition to re-mount his ca valry, and carries on his guerilla system with great activity. A man named BARCIELA is to be tried fur having said in a tavern that MERINO would arrive with 20,000 men, and that he spoke with certainty as he was one of his spies." The Paris Papers also contain a variety of details relating to Turkey. A Flanders Mail has arrived with Papers from Brussels to the 12th instant. It was reported et Vienna that a new Congresi will meet in that city in the course of the summer to deliberate upon the affair* of, Turkey. The anarchy to which that country has been for some time • prey appears to increase, and the accounts of its progreis are as confused us the subject. The Turkish corps which had passed the Danube has recrossed that river, and no progreis had been made in reducing Moldavia and Wallachia to subjection; on the contrary, the atrocities committed by the Turks in Constantinople had excited • more determined spirit of hostility in those provinces.

On Thursday night a grand masquerade, an nounced as the last for the present season, was given at the Opera-house. The arratigeineuts were ou a liberal and spendid scale ; the pit, being, as usual entirely boarded over, formed with the stag a grand saloon. The stage part was enclosed with scenery representing views of a beautifully diversi fied garden and pleasure-ground, ornamented with bowers, u►ed for the servisig of refreshments; and, in the centre of the back-g►ound, an orchestra was raised in the form of a stone veranda, in which was placed the military baud of hie Royal iiigb nets the Duke of Gloucester; on_ the right of the pit was erected another orchestra, in which was placed a theatrical band, which► played, alternately with the other, waltzes, reels, cipuutry-daucer, jig., aod, military airs, throughout the night. Oppmate to this ou•hestra a temporary flight of steps led through an opening, caused by the removal of two of the boxes into the King's Concert Room, where an excellent quadrille baud was stationed for the service • of those who were disposed to join in that elegant trod fashionable dance. The two central boxes to the mine tier were removed to form the general em trance to the Grand Saloon. The lower tiers of boxes were opened for the reception of the maskers and dominos, as well as for spectators, of whom there was a great concourse, coal prising many elegant and beautiful females. The gallery was also tilled with spectators nearly the whole of the night.

At tea o'clock the doors opened, ■std the compsny began to arrive; by tw e lve above thousand persons were assembled within the house, prerenttug a varied mass of groups and characters of every form and kind. The privilege given to the purclu•rrs of tickers to send in one character each, Ho doubt :aided greatly to the number of dressed characters, but it as certainly tended to de. tract from the spirit id the entertainment, by the in. troduction of a ciowd of exceeding dull wearers of antic shape► and fantastic suits.
