IrtorAL rACRT'CLUB. COWES, SEPT. 21. The sailing season drawing to a close, awl many of the members being about to depart for their country residences, the Falcon, Commodore Lord Yarborough, came into Cowes harbour on Saturday, the IStle inst. preparatory to • ball his Lordship proposed giving on Monday , to the Yacht Members and thew friends. Sunday his Lordship invited the limbers lying in Cowes Roads to dinner, who, with their friends, anionoted to twenty-two. The even ing proved exceedingly wet, which was the occasion of many ladies despairing of a fine evening for the ball the next nigitt ; a favourable change, however, taking place, from a shift of wind to the S.W., the weather cleared, and producer' a fine evening. The Falcon was covered with an awning, and decorated in the interior with colours, and the signal 'flags of the Club, having the distinguishing flag at the stem, with the letters while Crown and foul Anchor (permitted to be worn by the Lords of the Admiralty), ornamented with laurels at I flowers, brilliantly illuminated, which, reflecting from the hew-Work of ',cloying pins, &c. had a most striking aced. At ten o'clock, p.m. Lord Yarborough received the com pany ; but, from the numerous assemblage, the boats did nut cease to board the yacht till nearly twelve o'clock. Country dances, tputdrillx, and Scotch reels were imme diately formed, extentlfig, the whole length of one side of of the yacht's deck. At two o'clock, a.m. the supper was tuntranced, when the gusts descended to the thice cabins, the tables of which presented a most sumptuous display of miry ilelicae; that fancy could imagine, consisting of creams, jellies, preserves, Chainprigne, Frontiniae. and ether French wines, and an unusual supply of particularly tine pines, grapes, and other fruit. (In withdrawing front tins banquet dancing re-commencol. and was kept up with ! the highest spirit and enjoyment till four, a.m. when the huts atsetubled round the Falcon to convey the visitors to their ropective homes ; and many of the boats, fitted up 22 gondolas, with lamps, had a most novel and pleasing appearance. About twelve o'clock on Tuesday the broad pendant was struck, and the distinguishing blower of the Club hoisted, and Lord Yarborough went ashore.

We have received several numbers or the Creek retegrach , pub fished at Alimulinighi in the months of June and July, y which we are mode acquainted wilt some events which, though not very recent, have not hten lief ore known in England. The war in GriNee. !;t brit, at previa !t was of old, and as, from the metfre of the COO nirv, it must ti.:.(' ;-,.e to be till the enemy is thrown en. tirely neon the defensive). _wird on simultaneously, and oftqn. with various miecem, in many distinct and distant points. Persona in this country-who have not made themselves acquainted with this fact, aril with the mate of the lireek affairs in general, consider the news front Greece as MM.! contradictory than it really Is. and attri. bate to the conflicting intelligence the uncertainty which arises from their own inattention. The more narrowly the contest in 1 Greece la looked into, the more reV4llll there is to admire the energy.{ of the people. The war may be considered as divided into Several distinct district., where with more or lens interruption It Is careied on, the operat.ons in one having little ininiediate influence over those in the sinters. In Peloponnewas, which is entirely In the hands of the Greeks, I with the exception of Colon and Nlodon on the south.ivest, and l'a. I I trait and the Castle of the Morro on the northwest of the Penin sula. the war is confined to the blockade of thole places, with.the exception of the intestine hostilities which, when there is no data. ger from the Turks, the Capitani occasionally carry on among thenisclvm. In Epirus and Ennio, and generally Western Greece, the war is rendered complicated by the changeable dispoinion of the half. Ma. I hometan Seypetani of Albania, who are at times willing to fight for the Turks, at others equally weU inclined to fight against diem; but always disinclined to fight at all except for present pay or san guine hopes of plunder. The Epirute or Albanian Mahommans are indeed the only troops of 16 hum the Greeks of the Continent have any derail ; for they are the only ones possessed by the Turks who arc at all tit for warfare in a mountainous country. " I Os. manli Asia," says a writer at M jot:oho:gin, " secistumati a vi. vete al use Orientate, non potranno far it 1111 nl mo danno alb steno dells Grecia ;" and this expression will not appear exaggerated to those who have watched the fate of the large and tomultuous armies which Deems Ali, Khourelnd Pemba, and other Generals. have directed against the Mores. Al present it seems that great diners.l *ions reign tinning the Albanians, with a more than usual indifre mute to the c • :mends of the Sultan. One Gf the Parhas of Al. ',anis, Omen Paella. has been (Iceland Fernotali (or outlawed) by the Porte; and under his orders the Turkish Governors have been refused admittance into Arta and Preresa by Ilechir Aga. who eonininnded those plates, the moat Important in the south of Alba nia. Taking advantage of this diatinion, longs. Stomaris, Range, and other Greek Capitani of Etolia and Epirus, united their forcos and marched against Aria at the end of June; but it is not proba ble that they can do more than blockade it. Meanwhile there is no Turkish I'rcC to interfere with the west of Greece south of the Aspropotaino, though there is Mill a small Turkish garrison in !repent°, ready to *attendee when they are either bribed of bat. tered. In Eastern Greece (klyaseus has still the guard of the passage of Thermopylae, wi era he has so often done good service by keeping nut the Turks, as well as in the caw of the host of Urania Ali, by letting them pass and aft rwards cutting cilf their communications with Larissa. O dysseus has the military command of the whole of the ancient Attica and !tomtits. fiouran, one of It's friends and companions, commends the eitttlel of Athens, and it was by I • (Comas) that a force under I eerviech Pacha was recently defeated. 111 Eubra also a part of the troops of Odysseus carried an the war during the last spring, and pressed earysto and Negropont as vigorously as their means a attack allowed. These places have been since enpplied tud victualled. and a considerable body of Turks landed in the Isle. from *hid& we believe Ikrvisch l'aeha's body was detached into Attica. The Turks, however, are not for. midable enough to do anything against the Greeks in the mountain. mu parts of Ealreta, and will be probably soon abut up again in the fortresses. CrLie Of Car ea is in needy the same state as Eubms ' but no rery recent aconunts of the war there have been received. The Turks hold tlr fonrtsses of ( . 3111:11, Suits, lie() inn. and ('andia ; and oceasiimally, when they r.ce;ve reinforcements front the Pecha of Egypt. or from 11,:unstsmintiole.

Occasloaallythe Candiots have received aid from the Moretti and an exptllition of four thousand men was slid to be preparing to be sent there so lung ago as the middle of June. _ _ _ The events of the naval war, the attack on hisses, and the medi tates' expedltios against Samos, arc well known; but the exclusive interest' in the fate of hisses bait prevented the notice of another ocnt in one of the islands, highly creditable to the Oreeks. To the southward of the fluff of Salorlca runs a chain of islands called I.temotionist, or DeriPs Islands. Previously to the attack on Irian the Turkish fleet disembarked on one of these islands (Scopclo) 2,600 of the rabble of Constantinople, dignified by the name of Janissaries. lo this island was Canoes°, a chief, who had pre. vinosity distinguished himself on the Continent. lie made no op position to the lending of the Turks ; but (according to the Greek Trkgropk of July I) afurieerds, as anon probably as the main body of tho Turkish Nevi hail removed to a distance. be attacked mem, killed nearly half od there disorderly troops. drove WON into the sea, sod obliged the rest to take shelter in their barks. INDIA. We have received Cafe fla Ga2ettrs to the tat of April,' but their contents arc for the mos: part anticipated by our last art ;val from Bombay. The following is the latest from the Sylhet frontier : By letters from Selhet of the 14th instant, It appears that that were rumours of tlie Burmese having obtained reinforcements in Munnipore, and intending to invade Cachar again, but these want confirms:ion. l'he force in Sylhet would be ample enough to repel any invasion of the enemy, and with the howitzers, winch would arrive there shortly, the British troops would soon make their stocks:kw trio hot to hold thetn. Letters of the 15th give no countenance to the rumour about the Burmese reinforcements in Munnipore. The weather had cleared up, and it was not unlikely that a detachment of our troops would march by the route through Jynteea, to form a junction with the lioalpara force, expected to he at tinwaliath. Tha statement of there being about seven thousand Burmese in the town of Calcutta, is, we undentand, erroneous. The slugs, it appears, have obtained this designation; and •e learn, from pretty good authorit y, that the number of Mugs in Calcutta does not exceed tire hundred. There has also been a rumour of a fleet of Burmese boats in the Sunderbunds, manned with fifty men each. This ractiour appears to be entirely without foundation. N:1 !'T/. The following is a translation of an extract of a letter from General Inginae, Secretary-t-lenvral to the President of Hayti. to his correspondent in London, dated Port-au- Prince, the 2.5t11 of July last : .• I have paid special attention to the anggestitms conveyed in your letter,, relative to the precautions which we ought to take, in artier to secure ourselves against a surprise nn the part of the French. We have done everything that has been deemed proper to be done, by erecting fmtifications on our high mountains, 'in the most inaccessible peaitions 4 by establishing in the interior of the country. In", depots. plantations for provisions, gunpowder ma nufacturies and armories. Our army of the lane, and our National Guards, amounting together to I flO,OOll men in arms, are perfectly organized, and ani ated will, the best poisible spirit, so that we have little to hot from any project of invasion. The French might, per. haps, considering their immense resources, and their superiority of numbers, anniltilan• Its, after having made very great sacrifice, and efforts, of whirl' we believe them to be little capable. But as to 1 bringing the existing generation under the yoke of slavery, and de 'droving our independence, it is a thing which I consider alike morally and physically impssible. Should they attack us, the whole world will behold a line example of deviation to liberty and our country, and there cannot b - a a doubt of our success. .• I ant 'truly sorry that the pressure of public business prevents me from transmitting upon this occasion, agreeably to your request, a statement of the number and condition of oar schools.

Acanumic FLATTsay.--Clermont Tonnere, Bishop of Nuyon, a titan ridiculous for his attachment to high birth, gave an annual prize to the French Academy, to be be stowed nu the best poetical composition ; but the only subject to be treated of was the praise of Louis XIN After all the ordinary topics of adulation had been ex hausted, the Academy proposed, for the year 1700, the following hat fir the prize-poem: " That the King pos sesses all the virtues in so eminent a degree, that it is im possible to judge by which of than he is principally cha racterised.' Mien this topic was shown to the King for his approbation, (for this was always done previously to its being given out; and his Majesty, moreover, sat to hear the piece recited) enured as he was to flattery, he felt that it was ruttier too mach, and put his negative upon it. The Academy then, by advice of the Bishop, let it down a little in the following maimer: " That the unites in his perstm so many great qnalities, that it is difficult to judge which forms his principal character." Even this qualifitaltiost of incense proved too strong for his Majesty's relish. The Academy and Bishop, almost reduced to des pair, tremblingly proposed their third edition : " 'Chat the King is nut less distinguished by the virtues of a man of worth, titan by those of a great prince." This luckily did not offend the Monarchs modesty, and he tuffiered it to poi without further alteration.

They contain the intelligence of Olaneta's defection from the Royal standard in Peru, u published in the Panama Ga zette Ettruordiskary, but without any additional particu lars, though letters bad reached the United States to the 21111 of May from Guayaquil. By the last accounts which had reached Guayaquil of Bolivar's movements, be had advanced no further than Cuara, a short distance in the in terior from Truxillo, with the view of making himself muter of the passes leading to Lima. About one thou sand eight hundred men hail, a few days before, arrived at Guayaquil, on their way to join him. By the Colombian brig of war Yencidor, arrived at Baltimore from Puerto Cavell°, information was brought, that preparations were! still going on at that place to forward additional troops to Peru, to augment the army under Bolivar. Conumolore Daniels was at Puerto Cavell°, actively employe:l in fitting out transporta for the reception of the troopz, and in pre paring the squadron which he was appointed to command, In order to convey the military to Chagres. thi the day the Veneedor left, he was to sail in the Santander, for Lo ony:a, and return iininediately with the necessary sup plies, when the expedition would depart for its destina tion. The Marquis de la Fayette arrived at Boston on the 25th, and was escorted by an immense multitude to the Senate Chamber, where the Governor trod Coundl Were assembled to receive and welcome him. PIIITADELi•UtA, Amp. 17. The visierable Charlts Thomson, the Secretary of Congress from the commencement to the conclusion of the Revolution. departed this life last night, full of 'years and full of honours. He has for many years braided on a farni in Montgomery County, and not• withstanding his advanced age, 93 years, continued to receive corn patsy till within a short period before his death, retaining the us. of his faculties to a remarkable degree. An intefriew between him anti i.e Fayette would have been highly interesting. tirstrtsti ARMED the Ameriean of the Idth instant we published the report of Captain Ranks, of the schooner Princess Ann, at Norfolk from Havannali, in which he staved that ha had fallen in with the wreck of a vessel supposed to be a Colombian brig of war. We have received slips from our Charleston CORI!. spondenta, which correct the impressions of Captain Ranks.

The brig's crew consisted of 110 men, out of which 31 were picket! up by the boats of the Padilla, put on board a Spanish drogher, and arrived at Matanzas on the 2.1 inst.—lfetliinture The Rich mood compiler says, "Several of the pavers have lately Asserted, that General La Fayette is the last surviving General firer of the Revolution. But here they 'forgotten General Sumtet, of South Carolina, the distinguished veteran of about ninety year. of age ?—a man, who yet rides about and attends to his own busi ness. lie is surrounded by his grandchildren, the family of Mr. Thomas Sumter, our late Minister of the Brazils." Several cases of yellow fever have accursed at l'harleston. It will be forty years on the 16th of nett ttctober since General La Fayette landed in America, on his second visit. Mr. Custis, of Arlington, we learn, is causing to be made a ring, to contain smne of the hair of the Father of the Country. and will present the same to General La Fayette, when he sisal' visit the tomb of the Great Chief at Mount Vernon. The ring will (leveed in the family of La Fayette, a token of the affection which subsisted between the father and son of American liberty. It is making at the shop of Mr. G. Gaither, in this city, will be of plain gold, beating simply the inscription " Patrice Peter." The hair derives its date from 17110, the General being then first Pre sident of the United States, and slightly ;hens the frost of time.— Nat. lokl.

Quincy, Mayor of the City, was brought to trial upon the corn plaint of Asakel Drake, cuter, fur calloring his horse so as to endanger " persons standing or walking in the streets, lanes, and alleys.' It appeared in evidence, that the Mayor, on this day week, galloped his horse through Sea-street, at 7 o'clock in the morning; and two witnesses testified that the gallop was manifestly dangerous to persons who might be passing through the streets at that time. The Mayor, though he pleaded not guilty (because he considered his riding not to be Cangerous to the citizens) yet ex pressed his desire to he fined by the Court, in order to show that no individual could be placed above the law ; that those appointed to execute it were equally as amenable to its penalties as every other person; and that every one, whatsoever might he his situation, must expect to Incur a line upon being proved guilty of drlying at an immoderate rate through the city.—Justice Onus summed up the case, and after dilating upon the circumstances, fined the Mayor the sum of 2 dollars and costs, amounting to 6 dollars 34 cts.—We ought to said, that at the time mentioned the Mayor was engaged on public business, was hastening to meet a com mittee, and that there were very few persons in the street.— Sentinel. a S (15 , -.4t0CC.0Z... 11 2 2 eglitslo thaatmt 2tEM*2 w-ac.mpum nkMtt ttlain FiEft.int v A=Ed Ze.VIZZE?

John Tay'or had the merit of interrupting the servi . ..‘ etiquette of kneeling to the King. I myself (sacs the Watt r P et), gave a book to King James once, in the Great Chamber, at Whitehall, as his Majesty came front the Chopel. Tbe Duke of Itichmond said merrily to me " Taylor, where did you horn the manners to give tit. King a btr:k, and not kneel?" " My Lord," said I, it please your Croce, I doe give now ; but when I beg at:• : thing, then I will kneele." DEST..VCTIVE FlRE.—About two o'clock this morning. the timber-yard of Mr. Loader, of 'fair-nacle-walk, (Icy toad, was discovered to be on fire. The parish engine a soo. arrived, and other engincs in succession ; but though the: was no want of water, the tire spread over the yard ; an.. another timber-yard adjoining had just caught, when me informant left the spot. Ara kItI No Ft ar.—Ahout half-past three o'clock yes terday morning, a flre of the most destructive nature broke out in the very extensive and valuable premises of Mr. Mills, the wholesale leather manufacturer, in Silver-street. Falcon-square. As some part of the manufactory was composed of wood, the devouring element burnt with a tie gree of rapidity nod extension truly awful. Ins few mi nutes it communicated to no less than seven or eight dwel ling-houses adjoining ; and such is the closeness of the buildings, that at the same time three houses in Silver !street, two in Feats tt's-.:.tert, and three in Iliral-court, both in Noble -street, were burning. It was some time before the fire-engines, aft: r their arrival, could, not withstanding all the exeitie n of the firemen, to whom every 'praise is due, operate actually on the flame. To witness the great distress of whole t'atnilies niak- Mg their escape from the fire, many of them having scarcely had time to put on their clothes, was truly heart-renting; and their furniture, at least such parts thereof as could be sawed, huddled into the street, in one confused mars. The fire burnt for upwards of two hours with a fury that even defied the power of die enoines and a plentiful suppler of water ' • but by six o'clock the great exertions of the hre men and neighbours confined the fire to the devastation above-mentioned. Mr. Mills' manufactory and seven or eight houses are now reduced to almost a heap of ruins. It is satisfactory to add, that no lives were lost, and r.o serious accident occurred, but the property dcstrove • able. The property consumed belonging to Ali is estimated at about 10.0400/.
