Ibrahim Pacha, after being joined by the corps brought him by the Hussein Hes, under. took a second expedition against Napoli di Romania, and had already arrived before the walls of that fortress. On his approach the Greeks, who were in a most critical situation, declared, by a formal act, and, as is generally believed here, at the instigation of Commodore Hamilton, that they implored the protection of Eng. land. Ibrahim Pacha, disconcerted by this event, applied to Com modore Hamilton for an explanation, but, instead of any answer being given him, the Greeks, Impelled by despair, made an unex pected-attack on the Arabs, who were already dispirited. After se veral spirited but sanguinary combats, Ibrahim Pacha hastily ro. treated to Tripolizza. This news and the reverses at Misaolonghi have produced a very great sensation hare."

The German papers which we received yesterday re peat their statements of the decisive part latterly taken by the English officers in favour of the Greeks. There is so much palpable falsehood mixed up with these statements that we know not to what extent to give them credence. It Le, for example, asserted roundly, not only that Commo dore HAMILTON had given the Greeks counsel and assist ance, but that be actually " negotiated frith the Admiralty at Hydra, and the Government at Napoli, and succeeded in prevailing on them to issue the act of submission to England." This statemer•.t, we know, must be entirely without foundation. It is impossible that any English coormatxler would have dared in this flagrant manlier to violate the instructions he had received to observe a strict neutrality between the belligerent parties. The resolu tion of the Greek Government to solicit the protection of England originated, we have no doubt, in the dread they felt, previously to the raising of the siege of Miuolonghi, that their unassisted force would be sufficient to defend tin ir country from the invasions of its barba rian oppressors. Ihe measure appears, by its immediate results, to have been well judged. The Greek soldiery, inspired with fresh courage by the expectation of the powerful alliance of England, attacked the Arabs under the walls of Napoli, and having inflicted a loss of 1,800 men, pursued their defeated enemies to Tripolizea, where lartantm Pacha lay inactive. The longer he remains in that position the more difficult and ruinous will be his re treat from it: and retreat he must before the winter com mences, or surrender in his quarters, for want of supplies. The son of the gallant Mtautts and some other Deputies are, it seems, on their way to this country, bringing with them the dtelaration by which their Government solicits the protection of his 3la3tsry. The issue of this application cannot but he beneficial to Greece. Though the protectorship will, for obvious rea sons, be declined, the offer will naturally draw the atten tion of the Kr xo's Ministers more particularly to the state of the Greek war, and probably lead to an intervention . equally serviceable to each of the contending parties. If the independence of Greece were once firmly and peacea bly established, the GRAND SULTAN would find that, in stead of regarding that event with consternation, he ought to have welcomed it as a source of strength and security. The Greeks would instantly become his natural allies against Russia and Austria, and, as an independent power, they would support the tottering throne of Constantinople, which,•while in subjection to it, they endeavoured conti nually to overthrow. The report of an intended dissolution of Parliament had become so very prevalent, and had been even con firmed in so many places by preparatory canvassing, thit the information on Saturday,. that Parliament would not be dissolved, was received with a sensation of surprise. Rumour was, of course, busy in assigning the reasons for this decision ; among the most influential was said to be the determination of Mr. CANNING to resign if a dissolu tion was resolved upon. We do not hazard much in classing this hearsay with the other idle conjectures which were abroad. Mr. CANNING is not a man to make up his mind on this question—or on any other—without being able to produce his reasons for it. He is the last man that would consent to owe his weight in the Cabinet to the threat of withdrawing from its counsels. He would find no dif ficulty in showing that be consulted the best interests of the country in dissenting from those members of the Cabinet who might think a dissolution expedient ; and the acquiescence of the majority in the views on which he grounded his dissent could not fail to be received as the result of sound policy and reasoned conviction. One inference—and a most important one —may be drawn from the • circumstance of Parliament not being dissolved. It gives the nation an assurance, that Ministers feel quite confident that the pi ace of Europe will not be disturbed, and that nothing is likely to occur either as to our security from abroad, or our prosperity at home, that will at all endanger their popularity in the interval between this and the next Session, at the end of which Parliament •expint of course. Vierted, however, as a meast,re of policy, there are many considerations which we oan imagine might govern the judgment of Mr. CANNING, and of the ma jority of the Cabinet that concurred with him. The fol lowing, among others, would present themselves, we think, as of material weight. Several of those Members who supported the Catholic Bill, after witnessing the stilmsquent conduct of the Catholic leaders in reviving, by a concerted evasion of the law, the Association which Parliament, from its dangerous tendency, had put down ; and observing, fur ther, the hostile spirit with which they began—in despite of tits Legislature and in defiance of it—to re-organise the Catholic force in Ireland, and to count openly upon their numerical strength, have—it may be—considerably changed their senthaents as to the policy of admitting them to political power. The same causes have operated strongly: on the minds of the people out of doors, who, combining them with the reviving bigotry and intoleranec of the Catholics on the Continent, and on the portentous alliance of the catholic Sovereigns with the apprehend great danger from any increase of political in fluence bring given to the Catholics of Ireland, and would consequently not be disposed to favour any candidate who advocated their claims. It would hardly, therefore, be deemed fair to send such Members to meet their constitu ents at a time when this unfriendly impression prevails, and *hen their having voted for Catholic emancipation would be likely to insure succtu to any opponent that should start upon the adverse interest. A Parliament elected under the present apprehension of danger to the Protestant Establishment, which—whether sell or ill ferunded—ii believed to prevail very generally MIESS: •throughout tlrezeountry, would infinitely aggravate that ani mosity which, Heaven knows, there is no need to embitter. To proceed to an election for the known, if net avowed, purpose of prat tingljrthis temper of the public mind, would be considered by the Catholics as a call to battle. IVhereas the respite will give an interval for h(aling measures—there will be a time for the feelings of Christian charity and social benevolence to coma round. Ireland will find it her in terest to abstain from any course of conduct that may thin the number of her Protestant friends. The better disposi tions and feelings both of Protestant and Catholic will have time to ripen—the field of controversy will have lain fallow for nine months, and the advantage gained will be infinite. They reasoned we* that refused to plough it up at this moment. If an Increase to the Anticatholic Party would have been gained in England, the opposite lines would also be in mo tion in Ireland, and the numbas gained on their side would probably have been equivalent. The conflict at the first muster of their forces in Parliament would have been more doubtful, and, co that account, more desperate. Theforty shilling freeholders—let an election come when it may—, will show what may be done tinder a system which destroys all the natural influence of property, by splitting it for election purposes, while it puts the moral independence of the Representative under the control of a starving pea• gantry, to whom the direction of the Priests. —now, more than ever, active in politics—invariably gives the law. Other reasons occur to us beside those we have thus briefly adverted to, as concurring to make it inexpedient that this juncture should have been chosen for a dissolu tion of Parliament. Put we need not pursue the subject further. When, at the close of the next Session, the Mem bers go down to their constituents, the deliberative exer cise of their elective franchise must be taken—with refer ence to the C,itholic Question—;.as decisive of the national sentiment, on which ever side it leans, and thus decided,f,vre hope the question off entancipatiati iv:11 be thereafter set at rest. We regret to petceive in the Dublin Papers of Friday, from which extracts are given in another column, that se veral daring acts of atrocious outrage have taken place in the Irish provinces. The Clonmel Herald fears that the Insurrection Act must again be put in force. " The usual winter scenes," as they are with appaling truth styled, have commenced this year with a deed of the blacket dye, viz. an attempt to assassinate a highly respectable and efficient Magistrate, Mr. DxsrArta, of 'Killaghly Castle, who, it absolutely shocks us to state the fact, appears to have rendered himself obnoxious to the hatred of the wretches who attacked him, in consequence of his zealous and praiseworthy exertions to bring to justice the inhuman murderers of the SIIEA S. There has not been so audacious an attempt made on the life of a Magistrate since the dreadful murder of Mr. BAKER. The intelligence of these outrages gives us ex treme pain, as it seems:to remove to a period, we know not how distant, the prospect of that season of general tran quillity, during which only can the appropriate remedies be applied to the grievances of Ireland. There have been two additional public Meetings of the Catholics of that country held during the last fortnight; one at Tuatn, the other at Donegal. We forbear from troubling our readers with the details of the proceedings, in which there was nothing remarkable either with regard to novelty or talent. At Tuam the chief object of' the Meet ing appears to have been the vindication of Mr. O'CON SELL's fair fame from the slanders of his quondam friend, the " tine animal" COBBETTy who is now abused by the Catholics as heartily as lie was recently praised. It is cer tainly to the discredit of these Catholic orators that all their charges against C:teetzt relate to matters anterior to the time when they held him up as the most enlightened and virtrous of the sons of 'nen. Hear, for example, what a Mr. M'DLRMOTT says of him at Tuam : Oh, Cobbett, your bombast will not do here; you may impose on the honest credulity of John Bull, but you will no longer impose on the Catholics of Ireland; you have tried it elsewhere, and it did not answer ; you tried it in America, but the Yankees soon found you out ; your truckling character would not answer in that land of freedom, and with that enlightened people ; you found yourself falling, and, like an old General, you thought it best to retreat ; you seized the golden opportunity, and when radicalism was at its height in England, you thought that was the time for you to embark ; and to insinuate yourself the more into the favour of the radicals, you sailed for. England, loaded with a precious relic, the bones of the impious Tom Paine. So, when you found that the Catholic cause was every dry becoming more popular, and that the Catholic Association commenced its labours in this coun. try—when you saw that the rent yes established, and that hun. dreds were coming in weekly, you thought it would be a good thing to eulogise that body, and to espouse the cause for which it had been established. But when you found that there was nothing to be got—no secret service money, if I may use the expression— for nothing was hidden or secret in its proceedings, no grant could have been made without public notice, and the public concurrence of the whole; when you saw this, you basely deserted those whom but a short time since you so strenuously eulogised. All the facts here charged against COBBETT must have been known when the Catholics took him into thCir ser vice, and they consequently cannot reproach him with them now, without detracting in an equal degree front their own claims to public attention and respect. We turn from such squalobles with feelings of disgust at the barefaced profligacy of all the parties concerned in them. CITY, w _irrianAr EVENING. Saturdays, even In more cheerful times, are often unim. portant days, anti therefore it is not surprising now that this should have been a' dull day.

' tit i .. 4 • t - - - 11— ' ,CRURk-EANE. '. On Saturday this theatre opened for the season. The performances were Raising thelrind, which is a favourite with managers in general; for resjons that may be guessed at ; and Faustus, which is a favourite with milliners in particular, because it is a sort of raising the Devil in a quiet way. We had our old Peiend Harley as new as ever in Jeremy Didier and Wagner ; indeed, there were no raising the wind" without him ; and we ate Veatly' to back him against Faustus, or any magician of them all, for raising the spirits ! Who ever took honest James IVal lack tgr a conjuror !—yet is he as good a Faustus as any one can desire ; and, in the drinking scene, proves him self a superlative /mile-conjuror, and quite capable of looking /Pep into the glees of—futurity. We were happy to observe, and join in, the cordiality manifested by the audience at his first appearance on the scene ; and equally rejoiced to see him looking well in spite of the Mite devils of Goethe and Mr. Scene. We assure Misses Pow y and 1. Paton, on the word of a critic, that they looked as gretty in our eyes as their lovers or looking glasses could represent them; and surely that is sufficient. Their singing, too, was "prettily done i faith." Miss Graddon succeeded the Stephens in .Aline ; and we arc well pleased to say, she sweeeetkd. Her song in the second act called down an encore, as it deserved to do. .Mr. Bedford was loud hi .Gronosei, and Mr. Fitzwilliam lackadaisical in Beec,3). We should have thought very well of the latter, had it not been for our r emembrance of Knight ; not that we mean to charge Mr. Fitzwilliam with at all put ting us in mind of him—quite the contrary. However, Mr. Knight is still one of the.company, if we may judge from his being set down for Silky, in the Road to Ruin, on Tuesday se'nnight, and we wish him to resume his own characters—that's all. It Is only left to remark on the performance of the Printer': Devil, by Mr. J. Russell. (By the way, our readers will recollect, Faustus was a printer, and in future we wieb every typographical demon to be denominated a " Mephistophiles —it is n,..tch more elegant and cleanly than the old appelleion.) Mr. ltussell is wrilknown hi his performancer of Shylock at Covent garden, and Pitch at the Haymarket. We leave it to his ad 'MITA to say whether lie is greatest as the Jew or the pickpocket —tire characters may be more,closely connected than is commonly imagined. We have at present only to do with this gentleman's personation of Mephistaphiks, which. while we allow that it is respectable (a respectable Devil !) we are bound to say is much inferior to Terry's, "whose dry, iron and sarcastic tone and manner, har monized excellently with our conceptions of the fiend," as we remarked at the period of the first production of this melodrame. Some judicious alterations have been made in the theatre. among which we do not include the semicircular shape uiven to the orchestra ; because although it improves the appearance of that part of the house, it is a sad en croachment on the rights and privileges of us critics of " the front row." But let that pass. There has been no stint of varnish and gilding, and the faces of the boxes and the chorus singers have been new painted. Dowton re-mimes his station as Sir John Fuhtaff on Tuesday, and an Old Dornton, of whom report speaks highly, is shortly forthcoming. We wish him and the theatre every success. There was a very good house on Saturday. WINDSOR. SUNDAY, SEPT. 23. The King attended divine service this morning at the Royal Lodge, which was performed by the Rev. Dr. Sumner. The Princess Augusta and the Duchess of Gloucester, accompanied by their Ladies in Waiting, attended divine service at the parish church of New Windsor, where a sermon was preached on behalf of the charity children, by the Rev. W. L. Rham, Vicar of AVinkfield. The First Life Guards marched from their barracks this morning, to those of the Fcot Guards, where divine ser vice was perfermid to them in the Barrack-square. The King took his daily drive in the Park yesterday, and paid a visit to the Castle, where his Majesty inspected the progress of the il'tftrcnt works, &c. and afterwards re turned to the Royal Lodge to dinner. ARRIVAL OF THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF CLARRNCE. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Clarence embarked on Monday afternoon last, at Antwerp, on board the Royal Sovereign yacht, which had been sent there to convey their Royal Highnesses to England. Their Royal Highnesses' carriages and horses, together with part of their suite, went on board a Government steam-packet. The Duke and Duchess dined on board the yacht, and on Tuesday morning set sail, in company w ith the steam-packer, with the int e ntion of p rocee di ng t o Dept ford ; but the weather became so very rou g h an d s t orm y on Wedneaday evening, that the two ve sse l s l os t s i g ht o f each ot4ter, and the yacht was driven off' the coas• of Nor folk. The Duke and Duchess, in consequence, landed at Yarmouth, on Thursday evening, where their Royal Highnesses slept that night, and proceeded on Frida) morning to Newmarket, and there dined and remained till Saturday morning, when their Royal Highnesses left, and . arrived at their temporary residence in Charles -street, Berkeley-square, about four o'clock in the aft ernoon , at tended by Sir enry Blackwood and Baroness Ilanstane. The steam-packet, aftim a very boisterous passage, reached Deptford on Saturday, when their Royal Highnesses' suite landed, and proceeded to town. About five o'clock the Duke. and Duchess left town in their carriages and four, for their residence at Bushy. A Cabinet Council was• held on Saturday afternoon, at one o'clock, at the Foreign Office, which was attended by the l)uke of Wellington, the Earls of Liverpool and \Vest moreland, Mr. Secretary Canning, Mr. Secretary Peel, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Wynn, &c. The Cabinet continued in deliberation three hours. John Bull of yesterday states that the Bishop of Barba does has returned to England to be married to Miss 114.il nell, the amiable and accomplished daughter of the learned Dean of Winchester. It is said that William Merry, Esq. the Deputy Secre tary at War, is about to retire, and that he will be suc ceeded in office by Laurence Sulivan, Esq.—The office of Superintendent of Army Accounts is to be abolished. Dowton and Miss Kelly, since our former announce.. ment, have been engaged. at• Drury-lane Tin - atm.—The former, after a two years' absence, appears as Falstaff on Tuesday night. The alterations and improvements made in Drury-lane Theatre, during the vacation, are of the following nature: The gold in front of the boxes hat been cleansed and re burnished, and the front of the boxes painted of a straw colour. The red devices in front of the lower tier of pri vate boxes have been effaced, and the panels are now or natnented with alternate medallions and antique scrolls in yellow, the centre of each scroll containing a bronze (painted) bust of some dr tmatic author, Shaspeare, of course, occupying the Lont of the house. The roof has been painted to correspond with the facade of the boxes, and the old gold ornaments have been rebutnished. The red draperies have been changed to green, and the crimson velvet panels so beautifully folded between the gold Co rinthian columns at the side of the proscenium, have given place to plain fronts of deep green velvet, ornamented with the old gold devices and borders. The most material im provement consists in an enlargement of the orchestra, which is brought out, in a bold sweep, to the sixth or se venth row in the centre of the Pit, the trespass upon the space of which, is compensated for by an increased num ber of benches in the back ground, in what was formerly the vacant space for passing to the seats, this passage being now supplied by openings into the Pit, through what last season were the two extreme private boxes. The alterations and additional rooms recommended by a Committee of last ti,:ssion to be made in the House of Lards, near the Royal entrance, have been commenced. Great improvement will be made in the Bishop's staircase. Workthen hive lately raised a scaffold to repair the south west end of Westminster Hall. A very convenient Bail Court adjoins the new Court of King's Botch at Westininater. Seven gold coins, in the most perfect state, have been found upon Holyhead Mountain, by a woman digging peat, for firing. They were coined in the reign of Con stantine the Great, and ceusequeutly are nearly fifteen hundred roars old. GERMAN PAPERS. CONSTANTINOPLE.

The Governm ent o f N apo li has, in ill d es p air. applied for English protection,. and sent deputies to implore the King of Great Britain to give them succour. As Commodore Hamilton, who is at anchor before Napoli di Romanis, has several , times openly. taken the part of the Greeks, this intelligence has excited a sensation here, that It would be difficult to deacrib t . This was still more increased by the information which was re. ceived at the same time, that the North American sa.uatiron, so long announced by the Greeks, has arrived 9ff' Hydra, and has taken possession of the Island of Porros, situate opposite to Hy. des. The Devan has since had several extraordinary sittings, and the consternation that has been excited is evident. The Prinen Ambassador. Count Guilleminot, and the Russian Charge WA:. faires, M. al inziacky, sent expresses to their Courts. A t alisso longhi the Turks have be e n d e f ea t e d, bothliy seafood land. TRIESTE. SEPT. 10. A ship which sailed from Syra on the lath August, confirms the retaking of Calamata by a ,detachment of ilatnoms, under Pietro Bey, as well as the entire reconsiliation of the illainotes with the central Government at Napoli. I brah im Paella marten second advance tawartla Napoli di Romania, but things had already taken a deciaire turn there by the declaration of the executive power, that it would place itself under the protection of England. This extraordinary step. in consequence of which the younger iauli was uespatcrud as Deputy to London, had inspired" the Greeks with fresh courage ; they attacked the Arabs under the walls of Napoli. and drove them back to Tripolizsa, with the loss of 1,601.1 men. It was reported in Syra, that Ibrahim Pacha had since retreated to Narartno; but this latter circumstance seems to require further confirmation. Ad. miral Sachturis was preparing at Hydra to sail to Alexandria, to watch the motions of the new expedition fitted out there. It was aid that an American ship of the line was to accompany him.

The Turks and their agents continue to complain of the frequent assistance which English ships of war and merchantmen give to the Greeks in the lonian sea, and the Archipelago. After the late defeat ut Missolonghi, the Capitan Pacha and Hettschid applied to Sir F. Adam, complaining of the conduct of the English Audio. Titled at Corfu, and particularly at Zante, at well as of t h e i n h abits ants of the lonian Islands in general, because they had on various occasions, some of which are stated, violated the laws of neutrality and the previous ordinances of the Lord High Commissioner, ft is Said, that they received an immediate answer, but was not sari.. tied with it, because they tound it quite evasive. The events tkae took place at the beginning of August put an end to this diploma. tic correspondence while it was going on. Commodore Hamilton negotiated with the Admiralty, at Hydra and the Government, at Napoli, and succeeded in getti-g them to issue an Art, declaring their submission to England. id e are not yet informed of the actual terms of this Act, but all :how negotiations prove that the English party has a complete prepor. derance in Greece, and that the Russian party, as it is called, toe quite lost its influence. The instructions of the English were ee.. pected on this important atildr, which excites an extraordinary sensation throughout the Archipelago, and especially among the squadrons of the other European Power,, and will also not fail to atttact the serious attention of their Governineuts.—lVieremlxr; Correrpoident, Sept. 17. SOUTH A lf ERICA. The following is an extract of a private letter dated. Bogota, July 19th. The particulars which it comninnicatot are extremely interesting : You will be amused at seeing in the papers I send you here. with an account of the races we have had here, quite a l'Attellott. They have excited much interest, and the only cause of regret seemed to be that they did not last longer. At the end of the races many horses were brought in from the country, which were no: in time. They are to be repeated in October next. One effect of them will undoubtedly be to improve the breed of horses here. We are to have an election for the Vice-Presidency here this year. There seems little doubt, but that Gen. Santander will be re-elected. It would be difficult to find any good reason why lie shote.d no:. He is attentive to business, works Inted,lnot a very common thing, let me tell you, in this country) and has now acquired a certain de gree of experience ; in addition to which, I do not know that any man of grtuter ability could be found. We can have no chance of seeing Bolivar here for sometime. He is gone into Upper Peru to settle every thing there, and it is said here, that if he finds the Provinces of Upper Peru wishing to be independent of Lower Pern, he will form an Independent State. there. There must be tell a twelvemonth's work for him in Peru. Our mine owners are all alive, in consequence of the proceedings of the London Companies ; and parties are despatched to different parts, to examine mines, set them to work, &c. The only party of miners that has yet arrived from England has gone to the Illariquila mines, about three days' journey from this place. The accounts from there state, that, within the last few days, they have penetrated to the principal vein, and find that it conies up to every thing which the importance at. tached to these mines by Humboldt led thet•t to expect. These minas are the property of Government, and thc English Company holds them at an annual rent, payable out of the net produce. We have had an English physician practising here for the last year or t No, who is doing extremely well." Letters from Corfu state that-some despatches had been seized upon a messenger of Ibrahim Pacita, by which it was uncovered that several Austrians of rank have h. en deeply intriguing with the Turkish Government for the destruction of Greece. • We have received ;a file of Peruvian Gazettes to the end of May, and Bogota Papers to the 18th July. The former contain no political intelligence of a more recent date than the accounts already received, and are in a great degree filled with articles relative to the praiseworthy attempt of the Liberator to diffuse the benellts of public education throughout the Republic. In the Colombian Papers there is nothing now to notice. The private letters which have reached . us, state, that the Electoral Colleges have com menced their proceedings, and that a vigorous opposition will be set up against the re-election of the Vice-President, Santander. IVe have received papers and letters from St. Vincent's to the 9th August, which are of a very unfavourable nature. By these we learn, that on the Friday precetlirg I (the Gth): the estate of Col. Brown had been nearly des stroycd by fire; the negroes having burnt down the kil -1 ing-house, the negro huts on the estate, and finally, the proprietor's house. Such a fire had never before been known at St. Vincent's, and the greatest alarm prevai:ed among the inhabitants of the colony, as it was known to be the work of incendiaries, seven"of tlic negroes concerned being in custody, and four more, who had effected their escape, were closely pursue]. The advice' from Berbice also mention that great sickness prevailed throughout that co lony, hut in other respects that place was quiet. A New Joint Stack Company is in contemplation, which is to be styled " The Royal Sea-Coast and Waste-Land Society of Ireland," and the object of which is to purchase the fee simple, or take leases of lands on the sea-coast and the banks of navigable rivers or canals, fcr the purpose of erecting thereon towns, villages, and fishing stations, at which great multitudes, hitherto dispersed on miserably small farma, may be collected together, and by their joint labour being employed in the improved cultivation of the the soil, in the fisheries, and other useful arts, they may acquire a comfortable subsistence for theinseves tire • families, create additi ona l nurser i es f or seamen f or hi s Ms jesty's navy, and a dditi ona l wea l t h an d strengt h t o the ' State.
