On leaving there, abowt four o'clock on Wednesday morning, they procured a boat front the stairs to Westminster-bridge. On deceased getting into the boat, being a little elevated, he fell over, but was soon got . le again by the assistance of himself and the waterman ; the de. teased then proposed to bathe, when he and the Waterman requested him not; he, however, began to pull off his clothes, and declared be would have a swim. Witness then said to the waterrnan, it he will go into the water let him. The deceased was one of the best iiiitimmers in the world, and told the Waterman he apprehended not the !met danger. Witness, at request of deceased, then pulled oft Me neekkerchief. On beirg stripped, he plunged out of the boat, head foremost, and witness never caw him afterwards; indeed, he considered, from his activity in the water on former occasions, that he would have seen him rise again in the centre of tie river. W it- TAWS could not believe he was drowned, and tept rowing shout fur a cons'derable time, endeavouring to find him, but ineffectually. The deceased was d raggedt for, and the body found about two hours after the occurrence happened. Witness had frequently seen the llemased swim, and play most wonderful antics in the water, that aiatonished all who had seen him, which indreed him (witness) to cont,icla lie could not be drowned. The deceased was in liquor, and that he believed was the occasion of his death. Joseph Groves, a watcrman, deposed. that be was in tl.e boss with the deceased and last witness ; he did not know whose servants 'they were: the deceased was not dressed in livery; he was to row limn to ‘Vestminster-bridge. They both stepped into the boat,l when the deceased got up and pushed the boat from a pile, by willett he fell overboard up to his knees in water, he then got into the boat again, and instantly began to undress himself to bathe, esjing he would show .them (meaning several persons who were lsegiong at him on chore) what he could do under water, and then jumped head foremost into the river, and kept under water some 'time. WitOONI saw deceased swimming about a beat's length air, but before he could reach him, he suddenly sunk and did not 'tire again ; the lapse of time could not have exceeded one minute; Witness for an hour and a half kept rotting about for the body, which was discovered about six o'clock in the morning near the, - second etch of Vauxhall Bridge, and picked up in a fisismakies 'net. % heers has no doubt his death was occasioned by sedialls,; l qrsill In no other manner.

There is to be a new park-gate instead of that now close to the Duke of Wel lington's house, and facing the great brazen figure of Achilles; and, as heretofore stated, that portion of the. park now occupied as road is to be enclosed, to increase the private grounds of Apsley House, the present residence of I the Duke of Wellington. The walls at the upper end of St. James's Park, by that nnisance the toll-gate and Grosvenor-place, as well as Hyde Park-wall beyond Knightsbridge Barracks, on to Kensington, are, it is stated, to conic down, and to have substituted iron railing. No preparations, however, are making to remove the toll-gate, for which the Act of Parliament has provided ; but Levi, the renter of the tolls, has not the whole line of roads as heretofore. Theßrentford Trust, leading fro.n Hammer , smith inclusive to Sinallberry-green, is in other hands, Levi having been nut-bidden at the recent letting by se veral gentlemen and tradesmen residing along the road ; and Levi must bid high for the next Kensington tolls, or he will have to bid a long farewell to the opportunity of I t. aching gocd manners at the gates of that trust. Hyde Park-gate, however, is soon to be removed to the sewer by the Cannon brewery, and in furtherance of the extensive improvements contemplated at this point, forming one of the finest entr:nces into the British metropolis, St. George's E Hospital is to be pulled down, and rebuilt gore in the • country.

At this moment, when the Greeks arc upholding their independence with an heroic devotion worthy of the most illustrious of their anueetors,• the following account of the noble and successful stand made by the Sulieges in 1792, In defence of their country against Ali Pasha, the tyrant of 'Epirus, will be read with great interest. It is extracted from a journal given to. 'Mr. Eton by a dragoman at that .time in the British service, and published by that gentle man in his "Stitvey of the Turkish Empire'':— " In 1792, hein,, ,, in the French service as interpreter, I was lent from glonica by the French Consul, Mr. Cose pity, on some husiiiees regarding the consulship, to Ali Pasha, at Yanina, the capital of Epirus. I arrived there the Ist of May, and found the Pasha Making great preps tions for war.' I found also there the French Consul of ,Prevesa, Mr: de la. Sala (a descendant of the Sales, who ,betrayed the Morea to the Turks, when iu the possession of the Venetians), and acting as Commissary, not only to provide timber at Epirus for the French navy, but also for rgrolutionizing that country. • " He communicated to me his commission, insinuating, 4lisi if 1 would assist him, I might expect great rewards. .One day, when we were with• Ali Pasha, our conversation tattled upon the French revolution, which was always in troduced with. a view to excite him to throw off all obedience tothe Porte. The Pasha said to us—' You will , Awe .That Ali Pasha, the successor of Fires Vyrrhus) will sarpasshim ill every kind of enterprisi." " 'The Pasha continued to assemble the troops without taking known his intentions. In July, his army consisted it, 20,000 good 'L'urkisk soldiers, who were the more for- addable as they were all Albanians. He then declared tsar his design was to attack the Mahomedan town of Ar- Ilrocastro, claimed twelve leagues distant from Yanina, . ' vthieh would 'not be governed by a person he sent for that purpose, nor anywise submit to him. With this excuse he wrote to Captain Bogie and 'Captain Giavella, • two of the most considerable of the chiefs of the Greek inhabit ants of the mountain of Sulli, praying them to meet him with all their soldiers qr companions, to assist in this expe dition. his letter *as in modern Greek, of which the following is a verbal translation:- 4 My friends Captain Bogie and Captain Giavella, I, Ali Pasha, salute you, and kiss your eyes, because I well know your courage and herqic minds. It appears to me that I have great need of you, therefore I entreat of you immediately, when you receive my letter, to assemble all your heroes, and come to meet me, that I may go to fight my en mica. This is the hour and the time that I have need you. I expect to see your friendship, and the love ' -- double'' They speak Greek, Ind know no other language; they look on the Turks and other Albanians as effeminate, and hold them in them-final cOntenlpt. They have no regular Government ; each family or relationship (clan) administers justice among themselves. The largest clans have the most influence in the country in all public or general matters. They are careful not to kill people of another kindred, as the relations revenge his death ; ' and when once bloodshed has thus begun, it goes on till one of the clans is extinct. They always carry their , guns with them, whenever they go out of their houses, and never quit them ; even at lionsel they are not without their pistols in their girdles ; at night' they put them under their pillows, and lay their guns by I them beside. The same precgutions are observed in aIF these parts, except the town of Yanina. There are amongst the Paratnathians, however, a considerable num ber of Greek Christians, who live all in the same manner. Those who are Maliomedans know little of their religion, or pay little regard to it. Their women are not veiled; they drink wine, and intermarry with the Christians. It is true, indeed, that they will not eat pork ; but if the hus band and wife are of different religions, they make no scruple of boiling in the tame pot a piece of pork and a piece of mutton. " All strangers, Tusks ; Europeans, Greeks, or °theft,' who happened to pass on their territory, or are caught byl them, are carried to their public market,- and there sold. " Being one Clay at Yanina, at the -Greek Archbishop's house, I saw a Piedmontese priest, who, travelling in these parts, had been seized by the Paramathians, and sold: his story, as related to me by the prelate, is as follows : Soli man Ciapar being at his house one day on a visit, told him, that he had bought a Frank for four piasters, but that he was good for nothing, and though he beat him daily, he 'ftuld not make him do so much work as his bread was , worth ; be would therefore, he said, when he got home, kill him as a useless beast. The Archbishop offered to' buy him for the four piasters he had cost, and to pay the money immediately, if Ciapar would give security (for here no one trusts another). The bargain being settled,, the Frank was sent: he proved to be a man of learning, and the'Archbishop established a school under his direction at Yanina, tbr Greek children. When I was there, he gained fifty and sixty piasters a month, and was so pleased with his situation and the kindness of the Archbishop, that he resolved to remain in that country, and marry. " A stranger might travel into these mountains, and would be treated hospitably by the inhabitants, if, while he was in a neighbouring country, lie put himself under the protection of a Paramathian, who would give security for his being brought back safe. " But to return to the Pasha's expedition. The second _ of you have for me. Your pay shall be u,.._ .. that which I give to the Albanians, because I know that your courage is greater than theirs ; therefore I will not go to fight before you come, and I expect you will come soon. This only, and I salute you.' " I was present when the Pasha's Greek secretary wrote this letter, and I took a copy of it, it not appearing to him or to me as a matter of secrecy. " Ali Pasha is an Albanian of Tepe-dellen; be is a son of Veli Pasha, who gOverned a part of Albania; though a afahornedan he understands very little Turkish, and speaks only Greek and the Albanian language, which is a mixture of Selavonian, Turkish. Greek, and a few old French words, but perfectly unintelligible to those who understand all those languages. " On receiving this flattering letter, the chiefs held a council with their men. Captain Bogia, and the majority of the soldiers, thought the Pasha's proposal was only a stratagem to get them into his power, and make himself master of their mountain. Captain Bogia, in consequence, wrote to the Pasha, that he received his letter with great respect and submission, and was himself ready to obey his orders ; but as he could not persuade his people to follow him, it was unnecessary for him to go alone. Captain Giavella, either through avarice or ambition, was induced to comply with the Pasha's request, and went to his army, though only with seventeen men. Ile was received with great marks of friendship. The Pasha and his army marched four leagues on the road towards Argirocastro, and encamped ; but he sent an advanced post, consisting of 400 men, under a Buluk-Bashee, as far as the town, and the people snaking a sortie, a skirmish ensued. Gia vella and his men were now perfectly convinced of the Pa sha's design, and laid aside all suspicion ; but six days af terwards they were all seised unawares, as• they were dis persed in the Turkish camp, aml put in heavy irons, ex cept three, who, getting their arms, defended themselves till they were slam. The men were sent to Yanina, and imprisoned in the small island which is in the Acherusian lake, on the banks of which Yanina stands; but Giavella was kept in the camp. The Pasha immediately turned his march towards 6tilli, and arrived before the mountain the next day. The Suliotes, who are always on their guard, had notice of the Pasha's approach, and of the fate of their countrymen, six hours before he arrived. They assem bled, and gave the commatul in chief to Captain Bogie, whose abilities they knew. " The mountain of Sulli, or Caco-sulli, so called on ac count of the ill the Turks have experienced from them, is 1 situated eight leagues from Santa-maura (o r Letter's), in the lonian Sea, having Prevesa (Nicopolisto the south west, distant ten leagues ; Yanina to te east, twelve leagues ; and south-east, Arta, distant eight leagues. " To the south, this mountair joins the Chimera moun tains, which are inhabited also by independent Greek Christians, allies of the Snliotes. On the east, at the foot of the mountain, is a fine plain of about six square leagues, which is very fertile ; in it they have built four villages, for the purpose of cultivating the land ; but in time of danger the inhabitants fly to the mountain. There being no water in the plain, they have sunk cisterns or reservoirs to collect the rain. day after the army had encamped in the plains of Sulli, the Pasha caused Captain Giavella to be brought before him,. and told him that if he would inform him how he could get possession of the mountain, he would not only spare his life, but make him Beluk-Baabee of the province. Giavella answered, that if he would set him at liberty he would go to the mountain and engage his party, and at least half the inhabitants, to submit to him, and take up arms against Bogio : that by these means he coil(' intro duce the Pasha 'a troops into the Trips, when the other party would also be glad to make peace without fighting. The Pasha asked him what security he would give for his donning his promises. Giavella answered, he would, give him as an hostage his only son, a boy of twelve years of age, who was dearer to him than his own life, that if he deceived him he might put his son to death. Giavella lie imbrdingly called his son down from the mountain ; but u soon as lie got to the mountain himself, he wrote to the Pasha as follows: " ' Ali Pasha, I am glad I have deceived a traitor; I' am here to defend my country against a thief. My son will be put to death, but I Will desperately revenge him before I fall myself. Some men, like you 1 urks, will say I am a cruel father to sacrifice my son for my own safety. I answer, if you take the mountain, my son would have been killed, with all the rest of my family and my country men; then I could not have revenged his death. If we are victorious, I may have other children, my wife is young. If my son, young as he is, is not willing to be sa crificed for his country, he is not worthy to live, or to be owned by mess my son. Advance, traitor, lam impatient to be revenged.

" The Pasha's troops, suffering very much through want of water, which was brought to them six leagues on horses, as all those who attempted to fetch water from the brook under the Sulli mountain were killed by stones the women rolled down on them, or shot by the men, began to mutiny ; the I'asha therefore determined to storm the Tripa the next day, and having assembled the principal officers, and chosen 800 Albanians, he exposed all his trea sure in his tent, which consisted of Venetian ducats, and told them, it should all be distributed among them if they took Tripa ; and that, besides, they should have all the immense riches which it was known were there.

There is only one narrow steep passage to ascend to it, awl it is defended by three towers, nearly a mile distant from each other, situated on eminences, where the road is most difficult. The ascent is about three miles long. In the first mile there is a village called Kapha, which signifies top or summit. " On the side towards Chimera there is a small brook.

That the Pasha cedes to the Sulltnes ail the territory as far as Derviguna (six leagues from Yanina) Inclusively. " 2. That all the Suliotes, who were prisoners, should be set at liberty. (Then Giavella's son returned see to Sulli.) " 3. The Pasha .should pay 100,000 piastres as a ran. som for the prisoners the Suliotes had made. " With the Paramathiana they concluded .a separate peace, as they are not dependent on the Pasha. " The conditions were, that they s should in future be allies, and that they should on all occasions succour the Suliotes, with men, arms, and provisions, when they were at war. " Returned home to their mountain, the Suliotes divided the booty and the 100,000 piastres into five pans; one wait destined to the repair of churches which the Turki bad damaged, and to build a new one on the Trips, dedicated to the Holy Virgin; the second part was put into the public box for the service of the community; the third was equally divided among all the inhabitants, without distinction of rank or age; the two other parts were distri buted to the families of those who had lost men in b►ttle. " This peace was soon broken by the Pasha, who was twice afterwards defeated, and the Sutiotes gained still greater honour. " It was afterwards discovered, that the French Consul Mr. de la Sala, had advised the I'asha to get possession of Sulli and Chiintera, as then he would have nothing to f ar from the Porte, if he threw off all olsdience; and that the , French could then supply him with artillery and ammuni tion, &c.

(From the Etoik of Tuesday.] We have before announced that a commission nominated by Baron Milius,' Governor of French Guyana, had act out to explore the sources of the Oyapock and the Maroni. This commission returned on the 'ilth January last; and though a variety of circumstances have prevented the com pletion of its object, yet it proceeded a considerable distance from the mouth of the river Oyapock, and has entered into an alliance with the tribe of the Oyampis. Ounanica, the chief of this tribe, had sealed this union with an oath of fldt lity t > the King of France. M. Bodin, commander of the French ex pedition, invested him with the uniform and insignia of captain, and during this ceremony the French flag was hoisted by Ounanica, who gave a fete upon the occasion, enlivened by dancing, and at which there was no want of cachiri (a fermented beverage). The tribe of Oyampis is composed of about 6,000 individuals, and is not far from that of the Emerillons, which is also very numerous. Amen the useful things which were brought by Baron Milius, is some cotton, cultivated by the Oyampis, whiel is extremely beautiful, and is said to be much superior to that of Cayenne and even of Pernambuco. In a great part of its course the Oyapock is barred by cataracts and waterfalls, which in some places are at an he mense elevation ; one of these cataracts is 300 feet long and 80 high. M. Bodin has brought hack a branch of a tree called the galibis or carouachi, the leaf of which is a mortal poison. The difficulty which the Indians raised to Monsieur Bodin taking this away, led him to believe that it is with the sap of this vegetable that they poison their arrows. Ounanica accompanied the expedition as far as Camopi, and Maearayou, another Chief, confided his son, a youth, to M. Brehm who brought him to Cayenne. The Abbe Fournier, while with the Oyampis, baptised forty-nine children. The relations which will be esta blished between this people and the French colony, is not the only advantage likely to be derived from this ex. pedition.
