'We are informed that the Greek Deputies in London Lave received despatches from their Government, placing heyorel all doubt the reported successes of the Greeks b:riee the fall of 'purrs. The Dutch and German Papers re7eiveil yesterday led us to expect this official confirmation of these highly gratifying rumours. The Christian popu- Leion of Greece is not about to be exterminated, or reilueid to a id: ilage even worse than death, in order that the bar hetcus and fanatical Musselman may glut his revenge for C.eEr brave and glorious resistance of his detestable yoke. is appears. from the accounts that have reached us, that 7reat, and, we trust, final and decisive naval victory ever the Turks, was gained by the united force of the sessels of Hydra, Speszia, and Ipsara. The latter had joined the combined Greek flotilla in June, and therefore tee:: not destroyed, as formerly reported, CM the capture of the island. As soon as the Turkish troops were debarked, the Greek flotilla, consisting of twenty-five sail, attacked the fleet of the Capitan Pacha, and its • short time •lefeated it with great loss. Many of the smaller vessels and three frigates were taken, and the remainder compelled to save themselves by flight. The troops who had been landed fell into the avenging hands of the victorious Greeks, 'the inflicted upon them the condign punishment of their c: lines, in the very hour and on the spot where they had consummated their guilt. The surviving Ipssa riotes, the few who had taken shelter in the fastnesses of, the island, had withdrawn with their families, and what ever property they could embark, to the Continent, not judging it prudent to expose themselves to the consequences of another invasion by the yet formidable powev of the Turkish armament. It was intended that the Ipsariote refugees should be seated at Napoli di Romania. The Sa voie:es. it now appears, had not submitted when summoned to surrender by the Capitals Pasha. On the contrary, they had rejected his overtures with contempt and indignation, and were making the most vigorous preparations for their defetee. Previously to the sanguinary transactions at 'pore, the Turks had been repulsed at Sciathos, according , to the official despatch, with a loss of 2,000 men, the 1 whole number landed being either killed, drowned, or captured. The Egyptian squadron had also been de feated at Lysani, in Canilia, with considerable slaughter. The prospects of the Greeks, therefore, upon the whole, I are net such as to give any solid reason for dreading the ascendancy of the Crescent. The disaster at Ipsara, far • from depressing their ardour and dispiriting their exertions, bad only taught them the neecaNity of union, and inspired] them with increased energy and enthusietni. The news froze !pairs haultio sooner spread through the Are'rip elago. than every. decked vessel, of whatever size, was launched te annoy and harass the enemy on every side. The pa tefesie devotion of the Ipsariotes had warmed every breast,' and raised to the highest pitch the loftiest sentiments of feirlass zeal. It is imputed to the agents of some of the eonfederatrd Powers of the Holy Alliance, ye hope with out foundation, that they have furnished every kind of asset:a:lee, however base and dishonourable, to the Turkish expedition. They are charged with having negociated the tee ichery of the Albanian Schypetars, and with having ce ...ally piloted the Maliometans to the very place of their chsenittarkation. We learn, too, with great surprise and ) messureless disgtist, that among the transports attached to the Catetan Pacha 's squadron, were ten Russian and f l e-! fee , : .;e, r irtn rends. Surely it can form no part of the I of an alliance, professedly based on the Christian re:igion, to give such aid as this for the extermination of a Christian people, who have suffered for ages the brutal op preaei on of an infidel yoke, because they would not desert their pure and holy faiths.

Ent N nuaeti THEATRE.—On Thursday night Miss Tree had her benefit, when the opera of A'ative Land, with the entertainment of Clari, were performed. The house over flowed in every part, and Miss Tree performed and sang with exquisite feeling and effect. She was encored in the favourite air of " My heart is sair for somebody," " Rest, Wanior, Rest," which was given in her finest style, and several other airs. Mr. Sinclair and Miss Hallande lent their effective aid, and the v:hole went off with great eclat. :Hiss Ilallande also had an excellent house last night, and was encored in two of her songs.—Caledonian Mercury. On Wednesday last, during the representation of the last act of Macbeth, in the Cork theatre, an accident oe curred, which for a moment excited a very general alarm in the house. Mrs. Daly, who played Lady Macbeth, in the scene with the Physician, unfortunately came near to a candle which was placed on a table at the left side of the stage, when the flame caught the light drapery which she were, and in a nioment it appeared in a blaze. Sonic gentleman leaped from the boxes on the stage, and the per formers who were on the boards ran to her assistance ; but before they had reached her, Mrs. Daly herself contrived, with wonderful presence of mind, to extinguish the flame, without haviro , sustained any material injury. The play then proceeded,' the actress having immediately recovered her composure. Mr. Macready was Macbeth. At a meeting held on Thursday in the Town Hall, Dundee, it was resolved to found a " Watt Institution," fer the instruction of young ttadc,.nen of that town, in the useful branches of the arts and sciences. By the kindness of a commercial friend we have beeni l favoured with the following extract of a letter, dated Cal cutta, 10th March, t te24:—'Fhe war with the Burmese is going to be more serious than was at first expected. They not only fight well, but have been successful in one or two skirmishes. They have really threatened to send 100,000 men to Calcutta, and we could not at present comniaud 10,000, if FO many, to oppose them. Our soldiers are dreadfully scattered all over India. Coming to Calcutta, however, is out of the question. There is also a report to day that Government intend to make every Englishman in Ca'.cutta take up arms for the defence of the place ; but these are just reports, and we pay no attention to them., At the same time look a: the map and you will see that the Burmese arc not far from us ; but we will soon, I have not the least doubt, have all these barbarians under our fet t. They have been allowed to insult us too often with out feeling the weight of our power." "Ft itION 000133."—ThCre are numerous gangs of fellows new going about Greenock, known in London by the name of duffers, who pretend to have just arrived with lots of smuggled goods. Among other things, they will pre duce pieces of imitation of Indian silk handkerchiefs, containing seven in the piese, for which they will ask 495., the real value of which is lets. to 213. a dozen. They are most insolent and importunate in pressing their sales, yet I pretend to be in dreadful fear of the Excise; but they sadly overdo their part in attempting to imitate the man ! ners of seafaring persons. They succeeded on Wednesday tight in selling several lolb. rolls of tobacco, for which they obtained 30s. to 40s. This article turned out to be earth, pressed and artfully plated with spun tobacco, and not worth as many pence. They deal in French cam- I brie, as high as los. to 13s. a yard, which will turn out to ; he cotton, worth Va. to 3a. a yaod ; and also in brandy, at is. to ss. a bottle, which is made up of the worst whiacey, I and probably . worth as much a gallon.—Muguto Chronic/c. !

We hare received the Second Edition of M. de Chateaubriand's pamphlet. entitled, " La Censure que l'on vient d'etablir en vertu de ('Article de la 10l dtt 17 Mars, 11t22." We learn that 5,000 copies of the first edition were sold in three hours, although the' Censorship prevented the brochure from being advertised in the ' Journals. • The Censorship," says M. Chateaubriand, in his Preface, " would not allow this brochure to be announced in the Journals, although the title certainly contains nothing rsd.tious. Is there anything in it against the King or the haw ? Does the title state whether the author is for or against the Censorship? What instinct in the Censors ! What marvellous sagacity ! But I shall say no more ; my name is printed in the title-page of the brochure. Is it possible to believe that we art under the Alinistry Of Messrs. Corbiere and De Villele?" In the Preface to the Second Edition. 31. de Chatesubtiand al- Iludes to the rapid sale of the first, which he says was sold in less time than it was written, notwithstanding the Censors would not let it be advertised, and the post refused to transmit copies to the departments, as usual. " This," he observes. " says nothing in favour of the work, but it strews how far public opinion le in fa j tour of the tribunals, and with what ardour it demands the fiber , ties of the public, in opposition to the present Ministerial system." We yesterday gave some curious anecdotes respecting the French Censorship, but these are nothing to those which 31. de Chateau briand', pamphlet supplies. Among the articles struck out of the ! Journal des Debate of last Teesday. the 17th, was, Ist, A second 1 article taking a retrospective view of the business of the last Session of the Chamber of Deputies; 2d, The advertisement of M. Cho- teatibriand's pamphlet ; 3dly, Some lines on the sensibility of the IDuc d'Orlecns, on hearing that his son, the Duc de Chartres, bad obtained a prize ! Against the Coortitationne! the Censors were still more severe, . anti that Journal was even precluded from mentioning the Due d'Angouleme as engaged in a cause much more honourable to hu manity than leading a French army in Spain to restore Ferdi. nand VII. to his absolute authority. Indeed 51. de Chateaubriand says, the thing seemed so improbable, that he could not believe it was suppressed until he saw the article. It was merely a notice !sent from the Due d'Argoulenie, inviting the Members of the ' Royal Society for Prison Discipline to meet his Royal Highness at a Sitting of the Society on Thursday ; accompanied by a few re ' marks of the Editor. expressing a wish that all the abuses ‘:hich exist in the prisons. and give so much pain to the true friends of ha j monks , and religion, could be made known to his Royal Highness; that he might be well informed on a subject so worthy of his bee licence and humanity. j Well may M. de Chateaubriand ask if there is anything in such • an article that mold excite the wrath of the Censure, those " ra. guest., de piresee." as he terms them. lie continues—" It is, , , t h en, no longer permitted to spec': of humanity nor of religion ; 1 , and thus the name of a Prince, the restorer of our army—a name, that Europe respects, and France has inscribed among the great actions (Ades) of her glory—is blotted out by some obscure Cen. ' sirs in a pollee office. It is true that the Prince, though a Chris , mtian, Is suspected of being attached to the Charter . It is true that' all parties in Slain have found their only shelter in his sword ; that he has inculcated concord in the midst of divisions ; that he j has repressed the ramEings of liberty, as well as the vagaries of arbitrary power ; that lee is opposed to re-aetior.s and vengeance ; j that he has not suffered proscreptions to dishonour his army, and j that the piles of the Inquisition have given way to the altars raised Ito his victories. ! In the pamphlet, M. de Chateauhriand commences by alluding i to • speech he made in the Chamber of Peers on the 13th March, 12Z, in which, in replying to a previous speaker, he said, " A 1 Noble Baron anticipates that France will be Invaded, and all our • , liberties destroyed by Spain. As to the invasion of France and the '1 loss of our public liberties. one thing shall console me, that these events shall never take place while I and my colleagues are 311- i ! nistera. The Noble Baron, who possesses so much talent and such generous sentiments, will pardon this assertion." These words, and the establishment of the censorship, 51. de Chatesubriand says, i explain why he is no longer Minister, and the cause of the treat ment he has experienced tiro his colleagues ; but he says he will I leave persons, and speak only of France. " I need not repeat," lie says, " what I havesaid a hundred times in the tribune,and what I have printed a hundred times in toy works, that there can be no representative government without the liberty ' of the press. With the censorship of the journals, the constitutional monarchy will become either more weak or more violent than abso ' lute monarchy. It is a weak or unruly machine, which interrupts by the complexity of its wheels, or breaks by the force of its , I motion." - . . _ . .. . . The Ex-31inister then proceeds to notice the fourth article in the law of the lith of .March, 11122. which provides for the revival of the Censorship, and contends that according to the spirit of that law, no event or circumstance has occurred to justify its revival. The article says, " If in the interval of the Sessions of the Cham bers, serious circumstances should render ineffectual for the mo. meet, the measures of guarantee and repression established, the Censorship may be again put in force." " I demand," says M. de thateaubriansi, " if the case provided foe by the law has occurred ? Are foreign armies at our gates ? Is there any conspiracy in the in terior? Is the throne menaced? Has one of our beloved Princes fallen under the dagger of • new Lorre,? So—happily not. What, then, has happened? Why, the Minister has committed some faults : he has lost a majority In the Chamber of Peers ;he is de tected before the tribuna ls of shameful negociations, in order to purchase opinions—he has dissipated the advants,qcous results of the expedition in Spain ; that he has separated front the Royalists; in one word, that he appears incapable of his offices. These are the serious circumstances which compel us to violate the fundumental liberty of institutions which we owe to the wisdom of the King. if the circumstances are serious he bas made them so, and it is against himself that he has established the Censorship." 31. de Chatesubriand then proceeds to an crposi of the eireum. stances which have led to the revival of the Censorship, against which he ably contends ; be speaks with great bitterness against his rival, 31. de Viliele, thomM not by name, and contends that the country is endangered by die measures he pursues. In coaclu shut, be sera. •, The remedy is easy if the malady is taken in time ; if it is suffered to go on, it becomes incurable. I cannot develope all my thoughts in this little pamphlet, the rapid work of a few hours, which I publish in a hurry on account of the importance of the subject. It is hard for me, that am so far advanced in my career,' to re-engage in struggles which have consumed my life ; but, a Peer of France anti a Magistrate, I cannot see public liberty perish. I could not see the tribunals attacked without raising tiny voice, with. out giving my support, feeble as it may be, to the institutiotis that were endangered. That the throne of our wise Monarch may re:. main unassailable—that France may be free and happy, is my prayer--and as to my own destiny, let it be as (led pleases." 31. de Chateaubriaturs preface to the second edition is dated on Friday. We are informed that he leaves Paris on Wednesday. for Switzerland, but retails, in three weeks. Parties are at the highest pitch of mutual exasperation. It was reported in the City yesterday, that the King of France was dangerously ill, and that the news had de pressed the French rentes on Saturday. This is not true, and we arc enabled to state, on the best authority, that the King of France was on Saturday in better health than he bad been for some timc.—Star. The Eloile of Sunday contains an article, announcing that the opinion of the Departmental Councils in France will be collected on the subject of the law for the reduction of the Routes, which was passed by the Deputies, and re jected by the Peers. The Departmental Councils, being generally composed of landed proprietors and of persons under the control of the Ministers, will, it Is no dou bt - cal culated, give an opinion favourable to the proposed reduc tion. The Monikers mentions the surprise of Tarifa by a party of Spanish Constitutionalists, and says, that the troops sent against them from Cadiz consizted of a battalion of in fantry, and a squadron of cavalry, and that the Diane and Pomone frigates had sailed from Cadiz to support the at tack, and to prevent the Patriots from escaping. The insurrection in the South of Spain, which we alluded to some days ago, on the faith of letters from Gibraltar, is, confirmed b_y the French papers. Mr. Iluriado, the Columbian Minister, left town yester day morning for Paris, accompanied by his family. We understand his departure is connected with the circum stance we mentioned, some time since, of an invitation from the French Goverment to proceed to Paris, for the purpose of receiving from him communications relative to the state of Colombia.—E eening paper. A rumour has very generally prevailed during the last day or two, of advices having been received from M trid, stating, that Don Francisco, the trother of the King of Spin, is about to proceed to South America, but to what part is not onentioned. Mexico will probably be his sit s tination, if there be any truth in the report, of which, however, we know nothing, more than the fact that such intelligence has certainly &en transmitted from Madrid. The King of Spain is at Sacedon, in a house of six rooms, living in Ices state than an English squire, and taking no other enjoyment than his aegar, and a visit to a little theatre which has been erected for him by a strolling company. Ile is so fond of this recreation, that if any thing occurs to interrupt the performances, he imposes silence hitalself.--Seolsman. nA commercial house in Newry has received a letter frern I St. Petersburg!), dated July 7, of which the following is an extract. It contains some particulars of the visit of Alex ander on board the French frigate, and ►tats s an insult offered to the English flag by the French Naval Com mander, which the Autocrat, our late ally, witnessed:— " We arc likely to have had work hcre by sonic French frigates; they have an Englishman on board in irons, whom they took out of the cook-house and abused very much. This is not all : the Emperor was going on board rote of the frigates, and the French rascals spread an English ensign, or Union jack, for hint to walk on. As soon as he saw it, he made his boats pull off, and would not on hoard. I ant afraid it will end with bad work if our frigates arrive 1a fore they sail, which I hope they may." There is much reason to doubt the cerrectneas of this statment. GEI?M'AN P.IPERS. Frankfort Papas to the Istit instant reached our one yesterday. The following are extracts:— PLTrassunctr, A tc.3.

The negotiations of the Court of St. Petenburgh with the prin ' cipal Powers of %Ventura Europe, continue to be carried on with un abated activity. Another Russian Cabinet Messenger !LIS just passed through, on his way from Patis to St. Petersburgh. I‘II*NICH. AuG.ll. Great attention was excited here by a Pastoral Letter, issued by the Archbishop, under the date of the 9th of June, this year. against the prevalent want of zeal in the exerci:e of religion, and the increasing licentiousness of morals: the letter concludes with a notice, that according to directions which have already been sent to all the French priests of the diocese, those parishioners who shall be guilty of illicit intercourse with the other sex, both the seducer and the sedneed, shall not only be held to a more frequent use of the religious means of salvation, according to a certain gradation, but, on the first offence, be reproved in presence of the parents; on the second, in that of some respectable members of the congre gation ; and, on the third, before the whole congregation ; but, on the fourth, be exeleded foes time from the congregation. This pas. tool letter has given occasion to a Royal declaration, which, after reongnising the salutary views that may have actuated the Arch bishop, disapproves the promulgation of this letter, without the Royal consent ; r:eclares null and reid the regulations threatening punishmerr for repeated misdemeanours in the commerce of the sexes, from consideration of the numerous difficulties in the execu tion, the consequences that would ensue, endangering the honour and tranquillity of families, as well as the respect due to the cler gy themselves, and because they evidently exceed the limits of the spiritual authority. The Magistrates are directed in general to em ploy all proper and legal means in their jurisdiction, in order, with the active co-operation of the clergy, to check the progress of ha morality, and gradually to restore a better state of things ; but, at the same time, to keep strictly withi n th e bo un d s o f their autho rity, vigilantly to seeto the maintenance of the rights of the Royal Supremacy, and preserve the subjects agairst any threatened to frlngemnnt, since ' though the Church may be assured of the most powerful AU pportfrani his 3lajesty in all los efforts for the promo tion of good morals, his Majesty never could allow objects in them selves the most laudable to be pursued with the violation of the legal forms of the State, and that the limits fixed to the spiritual power be in any marmot' exceeded.

In one of the numbers of the Mexican paper, El there is a full account of the origin of the unhappy dissen tion between the Supreme Federal Government and the State of Jalisco, in a speech addressed to Congress on the Ath of June, by the Minister of lVar. After some obser vations on the danger of a revolution, to which the federa tion had been exposed, he proceeds by official documents to 'hew the sinister conduct of the Government of Jalisco, and its military commandants, Bustamante and Quintanar, pursued by thctn for the purpose of overthrowing the re public, subjecting the nation again to the yoke of Iturbide. To prove this charge, a series of acts of disobedience to the supreme executive power is alleged. These acts relate principally to the admitting and retaining of military officers in the Jaliscan service, who had been degraded, and some even who had been banished for their adhesion to the usurper. One of these, named Garcia, was a re lative of Iturbide, to whom the Jaliscan Government bad given an important command. The Minister then read three letters from Guadalajara, which stated, that that city, its principal chiefs, and a part of the army, were in favour of Itueuitle; that placards and inscriptions were seen in the public places, contain ing the words " Live Augustin I.' and that the Supreme Power of that State had resolved on re-establishing the tyrant. He then proceeded to read documents, from which it ap peared that Bustainante, in the early part of May, was taking measures fur proclaiming Jalisco independent of Mexico, and that he had sent arms to Garcia, for the pur pose of enabling him to fortify that place, and resist any force which should seek to deprive him of his command. Upon this the Supreme Government despatched an officer to supersede Bastamante, and ordered him to repair to the capital. That General answered these measures by de claring himself, in union with Quintanar, a rebel against the Government of his country, snit determined to resist force by force. The result was, that General Bravo marched against Jalisco. By other documents it appeared that these two Generals were implicated in the conspiracy lately :liscovered in the city of Mexico for the restoration of Iturbide. We have authority to state, that the Colombian Govern ment has consented to pay the full amount of the De bentures issued by Mr. Luis Lopez Mendez, in favour of Mr. James Mackintosh. An arrangement to this effect was concluded at Bogota on the 27th of May last, through the kind interfcre::ce of the British Consul-General.— Courier. The Pernambuco Papers contain an article from North Paraiba, of the 4th June, giving an account of hostilities having commenced between the Serviles and Liberals, in the environs of Itabaiana, the seat of the Provisional Go vernment elected by the inland towns. 1t is stated, that on the 24th of May five h fired men, consisting of the troops and militia in Vilar do Pilar, and of all the ruf fians in the prisons of the town, approached ltabaiana with two pieces of cannon, which played for some time, though to very little purpose, upon the Liberals, who, on descrying the enemy, had, to the number of 1,500, taken up strong positions. At nine in the morning • mos. obstinate action began, in which the Perviles were so roughly handled on all points, that they called for a sus.. pension of arms, which being acceded to by the Liberals, one of the last officers of their party, Lieutenant Silva, was prevailed upon by the Servile Captain, Franca, to ac company him to his own side of the field of battle, where he was treacherously killed by a pistol shot. Eaasperated by this perfidious deed, the Liberals advanced upon the enemy, and about four o'clock compelled them to retire in great confusion, leaving one of their cannon behind, and the field Crewed with dead bodies, and carrying away a number of wounded. On the followingday the conquered abandoned Vilar do Polar. The killed amounted in all to 113, twenty-three of which were Liberals. The hate also sustained considerable damage from the sacking of part of the town of Itabaiana, which was mercilessly ravaged by the militia while the other troops were engaged.
