On*llie Report of Ike Sheaves* Lands Bill being brought . . top— Or, CA I.CRA PT said he bad been applied to by several pcnutots at Stecritess for informatics on the subject of this EFII. • A Bill had bees kept hanging over their heads for thrse or four year+, empowering the Commissioners of the Pithy to purchase their lands, and they hail received notices ' to se:l. Nu step, however, had in many instances heel, taken Ly the Commissioners Inwards comply' mg the objects of those niSireori, and stow the inhabitsuts saw that soother Bill re ' lilting the subject was brought into the House, of the eon tents of whirls they were entirely ignorant. They were de 'lron+ Or learning whether it was intended by the present to repeal the former Rill, or to confirm it, or whether any and what alterations were to be made. He did not know if the Bill had been printed, sad sow came down for information on the puliject. Mr. fIUSKISSON said, as Act having parsed four years ago to enable the Commissioners to purchase cartels leads if they should he required for the purposes of the naval per • tike, obis Bill wsa intended to invest the land so purchased is certain Trusties. Mr. CA LCR A FT mid, the explenation gives by the Right Ifononralile Gentleman was Iry no means satisfactory as to say of the points to which he (11r. C.) had adverted. Lord BINNING said, that he had been applied to by • tome of the parties interested in the lands in question, on the initioducticio of the former Rill. Having, however, re , ceived no . -cosnonenieatiion from them ou the present occa sion.. he Chould infer that the inhabitants of Sheerness were perfectly satisled with the arrangements which might have Lam' male. Mr. cA t.cR AFT could only say, shot so longer since than the •preceding day (Friday), two most respectable persons from the vicinity load applied to him on the subject, attention to these points which be had men hosed. He therefore could not infer that they were goitre satiellediffith the matter as it now stood. Mr. LUMIINGTON, in the absence of his Hon. Friend, Mr. Waiiit wei not able to give the Hem. Gentleman further information on the subject, but had no objection to postpone the consideration of the Report till Tuesday, which was agreed to. The furibes consideration of the Report of the Navy Pro perty Bill was also postponed to Tuesday. EAST INDIA CADETS. Mr. HUME'said, lie had now a emotion In submit, to which, as be understood, there would be no objection, be would only make one observation. By the charter of the Last India Company, writers were to be educated In the us. tire language previous to toiler out. Cadets, however, were not en educated, although this was particularly seminary, as it frequently occurred that cadets, soon after their arrival is /ndis,•were appointed heutenasts, and bad to decide disputes between the natives belonging to their respective temperer*, which orvolved some knowledge of the language. The im portance, therefore, of young men being educated in this Jangusge before they went out, was evident; sad it would be •iseioded•wlth hut trilling inconvenience or delay, as they might acquireta knowledge of the Hiudostannee language auffieieut for this purpose is three mouths. Notwithstand ing this eiretinostance, though in the comm.- of 1820 ow less thawslll- cadets were seat out, 484 had had so tower. lion to this language. He hoped the attgotion of Govern ment would be directed to this subject before next Session. The papers .which he was about to move for would thew that the adoption of the regulation which be suggested might be erected with., very triStsg, daisy, iticrease of expense. The Moe. Member eneelniled by moving for separate Returns of the Expenses of the E tat India Company's Colleges at Hai. leyhery sod Additcombe, from their foundation to 1820; and of the number of Writers and Cadets educated therein, and sent net from each College is each year; diatioogitishing thaw sent to China, and to the several Presidencies is the Last ladies. The motion, after a few words from Lard BINNING, was agreed to. The lion. Member moved for several other returns on the same smelt ci, which were ordered. . The 14.1 n. Member then moved fur the amount of civil perriutis paid by the Company, and also for accounts of re tired allowascep to officers, and of the number of officiate WO the retired list of the Company.---Orolered. QUEEN ANNE'S BOUNTY. Mr, HUME then moved for returns of the produce and applieation of Quern Anne's Bounty to the Clergy, from the date of the-last returns to the preset.' time. The CHANCELMOR of the EXCHEQUER wished the Mora to be volved, and that it rhould /weed to all sums graoted fur the relief of poor Clergy. This would be rem .itterd ueoe.mry by the building of new rhurctws, the clergy of which moth, be but poorly provided fur. a. they would only bare the pew relit. for their support.

In the evening sitting of the Cortes of the 6th of June, a dispatch was read by the Secretary at War, sent by Don Fraaci•ce Valdez, commanding the light battalion of Catalonia, who is churned with the pursuit of the band of rebels commanded by Merino. This dispatch, dated front Sepulveda, the 6th of t h is month, states, that having learned the day before that Merino, with 72 horsemen, bad gone to that town, and passeelihrough it at two o'clock, lie had repaired thither at four o'clock, with his brave troop, composed of a Captain, two subalterns, and 33 privates of the cavalry regi ment of Lusitania, and having got sight of them about Borrio, he ordered his men to charge, which they did with so much impetuosity, that 14 or 15 of the rebels were killed on the spot, severs taken prisoners, of whom six were badly wounded ; five horses were killed. and 24 taken, with a quantity -.1 a►ms, &c. lie highly commends his troops, and the wore so as neither the men nor the horses bad eaten any thing the whole day, and had marched 11 leagues. lie also praises the militia of Sepul veda, who immediately took their arms, and marched out to cover his rear. MADRID, JUNE 10. Petitions continue to come from all quarters re questing the King to convoke the Extraordinary Cortes, We said • few days ago that the limits of our Journal would not allow us to give even an ex tract of the arguments adduced to skew the limes ' sity of this measure ; but the number of petitions is How so great, that it is impossible fur us to give even a lot of the places and corporaliosis that ex press their wishes un this subject. Provisioual De putations, Constitutional Muncipalities, and mili tary bodies, have all united on this occasion to ap proach the throne, requoating his Majesty to autho rise by his approbation this measure, which they consider as necessary to the preservation of the Constitutional Systein. All these petitions are dic tated by the same love of liberty, and respect for the Constitutional Throne; and it may be justly inferred from them that these are the sentiments of the whole nation. His Majesty has been pleased to appoint Lieut.- General Don Francisco de Compous y Na,,., to the post of Political Chief of this province. li is said that his Excellency has to-day expressed a wish to decline this office, but his Majesty has not judged fit to accede to Ins desire. JUNE 11. A circular letter has been sent to the Political Chiefs, desiring them to take all the means in their power torepress smuggling. In this circular it is stated, that, according to of f icial information from Cadiz, smuggling is not carried 011 clandestinely, and in the night, but that contraband goods are landed in open day by main force; that a quantity of English goods was landed at noon, and detained by the officers, who were on the point of lodging the goods in their warehouse, when they were attack ed by a baud of smuggler., who retook part of them before the guard Caine, under whose protec tion the rest was carried to the Custom-house with imminent danger of a riot, front the number of persons who followed with violent menaces, and the seditious cries of " Those Servile robbers." The officer. are insulted in the execution of their duty, and one of them was lately thrown into the sea a n d perished. Similar disorders prevail every where, one these scandalous proceeeings have gone so far that the most energetic measures are necessary to check the unparalleled audacity of the smugglers. The Cortes have been principally engaged in continuing the discussion of the plan of finance, and that of the system of public instruction.— (The Universe' to Jane 12 ) FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAILS. CORFU. NAT 23. The accounts we receive from the Morta inform us that Demetrius Ypsilanti, the brother of Alex ander, ha■ joined the Greek army in the Pelnputs , nexus. This young man was accompanied by Alex slider Cautacuzeno, brother to the Commander iii-Chief of the ca►alry of the Greek army in Wallachia, and by two Peloponnesian officers, who have quitted the Itua.ian service. These four Gene. roil Officers, after taking the orders of Prince Ypsi lanti, General in Chief of the Greek forces, have succeeded, in spite of a thousand obstacles, in reaching the Peleponnesus. The young Prince De metrius published on his ar►ival a very energetic Proclainaiiou, which was received with enthusiasm by the officers of the various corps already organised in the Peninsula. There is no doubt that the greatest harmony prevails between the armed corps in the different parts of Greece, and that their operations will in future be on a combined plan. The conduct of Lord Strsngford, the British Ambassador, has been very energetic. The safety of his countrymen residing at Constantinople is due to his firmness.

Lieutenant-General Barou de Vincent, the AIM' biro Ambassador, dined at the Castle of the Tui leries on Monday, in the apartments of the Duke of A tigooleme, where a table was laid of 45 covers.

It is said there troops will forma grand encamp ment near Wilepok fur the purpose of exercise. °DMA, MAY 18. _ For three weeks past no vessel, have arrived in our harbour from Constantinople ; we were uncer tain what might have happened, end even anxious with regard to the navigation. At length, the day before yesterday, eight vessels arrived which left Constantinople on the 14th, and had not expe rienced the least difficulty in the passage of the canal. From their statements the people of that capital continued, notwithstanding. all the efforts of the Government, to indulge is the moat revolting excesses against the Greeks Government has exe cuted all those who had niformation of the Greek insurrection. or who countenanced it. The Turks have totally destroyed seventeen Greek churches at Constantinople. ♦IENNA, JUNE 9. _ The Greeks resident at Vienna constantly assert that Ali Pacha of Jawna has been a•bassinaird ; but this statement. although generally ciieulatrd for some weskit past, appears to be without foun dation. Letters from Constantinople, dated May IS, aver that the new Greek Patriarch did riot die • natural death, hut was strangled in his apartments by order of the Grand Signior. The Greeks preterid to have slain 1.500 Turks in the affair of ailacz, and that they lust only 300 men themselves ; that is the purport of a bulletin, signed by Prince Cantacuzeno, and addressed to the Governor of Odessa, Count Larigeron. The Greeks alto assert that se veral districts of Bulgaria hove revolted, and threaten to cut off the ;provisions and supplies of the Turkish corps which 'have passed the. Danube. The districts and towns of Teruo's, Pliilippopoli, and Rasgrad, are mentioned. The fugitive Bishop of Terriciva had put himself at the head of the in surrection there, and had collected a force, it is said, of 12,000 men. He had puhl:shed is procla mation, in which, after having exposed the perse cution of die Greeks, lie declares to them that death by the baud, of Bre executioner awaits the Bishops and all Greeks of distinction, whether they take part in the insurrection, or conduct themselves as peaceable subject.. lle calls upon all Christians to light for their faith aid their lists, setting before them the example of the Patriarch of Colistaritiaople, arid of the Greeks who have fallen victims there to the fury of the Musiihnen. On the 15th of May he advanced, accompanied by a number of Greeks, and having the cross tome before Inne, from Philippopoli to Ternova. SPANISH PAPERS. ♦RANDA, JUNE 6.

He ad dressed mum remonstrances In the Porte. and de dared that unless consplete protection was afforded to the English, both for their persons and their pro perty. lie would order • formidable rquadron to pass the Dardanelles. to inflict a terrible vengeance for the outrages which might have been offered to his countrymen. The step taken by his Excellency was not without good grounds, for during the mas sacres at Constantinople, the Turkish soldiers tired indiscriminately at the Franks of ell nations, and several Englishmen had been wounded. FRANKFORT, JUNE 17. The accounts by way of Austria state, that the Greeks who were in &pay had fled to the Russian territory ; but it is by no means confirmed by let. term from Lemburg, of the beginning of June, in which it was asserted that J.issy was still held by 300 or 400 Greeks on the 30th filily, that is, seventeen days after the action it Galacz. The reports in circulation at Lemburg were of a very contradictory description; some pretended that the Greeks had obtained a great victory, whereas others said Ypsilanti and Theodore had been already beheaded. BRUSSELS, JUNE 21. The public curiosity is greatly excited by the affair of M. Hentiequin. one of the Barge/wasters, and of nine other members of the regency of the city of Muestricht, who have been deprived of their offices and • ;prosecution instituted against them for haring neglected or refused to execute certain de crees of his Majesty in conformity with an existing law. They have addressed petitions to his Majesty. which they have published, with a statement of the facts relative to the affair. By accounts from Liege we learn that the Tri bunal of the First losiatice has declared the first article of the accusation unfounded. This article accused them of having concerted measures con trary to the execution of the law of the 27th Fe bruin, 1815, and to the orders of the Government. The other article accuses them of having interfered in the exercise of the legislative power, by Pus pending and stopping the execution of the same law.—(Brussels Papers, June 22.)

LON DON, - MONDAY, JUNE 25, IBM We ha►e received the Paris Papers of Tiversday. It woes lately stated that the Duke De °RAYNOR? has been deputed by the King of FRANCE to England, to pay his respects to his MAJESTY on the ensuing Coronation. The Duke, we *re now informed, will be accompanied by se►eral other persons of distinction. We have made extracts from Spaniah Pspors to the 12th instant. The fighting Priest, MERINO, maintains his petty warfare with all the charac. terisie energy and activity of a Guerilla Chief. His force and means must, however, he greatly under rated, if he should much longer baffle the efforts of his enemies. Flanders and Dutch mails arrived last night with Papers from Brussels to the 42d instill,. The ac counts from Constantinople give the British Antibes. sador, Lord STRANGFORD, greet credit for his energy and activity in protecting his countrymen from the indiscriminate fury and barbarous excesses of the Turks. The reports of the military opera tions on the side of the Danube are, as usual, vague and contradictory. According to some, the Greeks had obtained a victory. Others state, that YPSILANTI and THEODORE had been beheaded— a statement which, if true, would imply that the Greeks had been every where defeated. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have been pleased to appoint Vice-Adiniral Sir BENJA• MIN HALLOWELL, K.C. B. Commander.in-Cinef of his IVleJxsvir's ships at Chatham, at which port he will hoist his flag on the lst of July, in the room of Sir JOHN GORE, whose period of command has expired. JANE! Duerr, Esq. (Purser in the Royal Navy) has beeu appointed his Secretary. The next Session of Parliamene promises already to become far more important, with reference to the financial condition of the country, than any we have passed since the return of peace. The assent expresses: by the CHANCELLOR of she Excieeovee to Mr. EL:Ace's proposition, on Friday night, re specting the appointment of a Committee in the next Session, for investigating and simplifying the accounts of the. Sinking Fund, must prove highly satisfactory to the country. We hope, however, that important as this particular object undoubt. edly is, the duty of the Committee will not be re stricted to it ulune, but will be made to embrace a general examination of the mode of framing the accounts of the whole revenue of the country, with a view to the simplification of every part of the system. There prevails at present, in the mode of keeping the public accounts, to extraordinary de. gree of complexity and confusion, which cal have no other effect than to mislead and deceive the. public, and to incapacitate the great majority of the Members of Parliament who have sot specially devoted themselves tteilse seedy-of the siecionta as to an abst►use science, from forming an indepen dent opinion upon the actual state of the finances of the empire, sad consequently to prevent them from suggesting the means of correcting the errors, or guarding effectually against the commission of abuses. But the worst of the evil seems to be the extreme difficulty, nut to say the emulate impossi bility, under the present aspect of our public ac counts, of discovering frauds committed by officers upon the public purse, should soy of them betray the confidence that is reposed in their fidelity and honour. We have no cause to suspect that stirlt crime is practised by any persons now in hut all who have had occasion to see sod exauti..e the returns made from the Mosul to the tittle,* of the [louse of Coalition', must feel how easily the 'moieties and diversities than appear in the details, occasioned by the frequent transfers of sums of money from one heed of account to another, and the different aspects under which the same accounts are usually presented, may be made a cloak for dishonesty, and no wise Government ought to con fide too implicitly in the iucorruptible ►utegrity of its inferior agents. The machinery of our Sinking Fund is particu larly complicated, and proportionally clumsy and expensive. The nominal amount of this fond is about 17,000,0001. a year, which, if it sieve suffered to operate freely, would quickly disencumber the station of its debt, and enable even the present gene ration to taste the advantages of • very considerable remission of taxes; but our Ministers are so hi mentality euansoured of unnecessary and wasteful extravagance, that since the return of peace the funded debt of the country has rather increased than diminished. The Sinking Fund now supposed to be actually *wadable is said to be 4,000,0001. but in point of fact it does not at present exceed 4,000,000/.; and even this sum, the stile remaining hope of the nation, the Ministers would, without the slightest remorse or hesitation, convert to some more selfish purpose, should the indulgence of any favoniite scheme, or the unexpected failure of the receipt of the revenue resider the appropriation of it convenient. There is a manifest absurdity is thus maintaining a nominal Sinking Fund to a large amount, while the nality is so inconsiderable; but the absurdity might be endured if the system of upholding it in name, while the ants.tance per forms the numerous evolutions prescribed by the magic influence of an Act of Putliament, were not attended with much inconvenience to the public in practice, and with much expense and waste. The object of Mr. Eeercs's Committee will be to re duce the nominal fund to a real one, and when this operation shall be performed, we trust thut Par liament will so consecrate the actual Sinking Fund to the purposes of its creation as to secure it from the unhallowed gripe of any present or future Dieters. Connected with this arrangement, which bespeaks the assurance of • permanent system, the promises made by the Marquis of LONDONDERRY of fur titer retrenchment in the expenditure of the Govern ment become doubly important. It is ■ fearful thing to contemplate the magnitede of our public debt, and compute it with the means now provided for its liquidation. No Minister who prefers the public good to his own personal and transient in terests can, without alarm, view ouch a burden as inseparably annexed to the country ; and if he he an honest or a humane man, he must prepare him self to sacrifice some portion of his patronage, when it is obvious that without so doing be cannot establish any adequate means to counteract the evils of so oppressive • burden. During the discussions this Session on the budget, in whicla Mr. Hume so essentially contributed to enlighten the Government avid the country upon the possibi lity of effecting an extensive retieuelmaitt in the expenditure, it was strewn very sufficiently that reductions might he effected with ease to the amount of from three to four 'lndio'''. Let the Ministers iu the next Session adopt this principle let them, in proposing their estimates, skew such a diminution of expense us will leave a clear surplus of revenue, under the name of a Sinking Fund. to the amount of 8,000,000!. annually ; and if, by the wisdom •ud firmness of Parliament, this sus► be scrupulously deemed to the payme.it of the debt, the people will feel grateful to the Miti s taters of the Crown ; and as energy flows from confidence, thee will, by increased activity, enterprise, and insfus t t , %. promote the salutary objects of the Govecumeo and enlarge generally end individually the sphere and means of public prosperity.
