An Opthalia has for some time prevailed in York, aral the neighbourhood.

Tliz Emperor will give audience in the palace of the Thuilleries, to the Ambassadors and Minister s who have received their new credentials. M dauhert, whom the Emp-ror had sent to Constantinople. is on his return to Paris. He em barked at the mouth of the Danube, and ascend ing that river, has come by the way of Yassi and Bucharest. The troubles in Romelia render the dire& road extremely dangerous. The petty Pachas infest the whole of that province; hut it appears that the Porte has just takea 'strong measures to subdue the spirit of revoh which prevails in'these countries, and which is supposed to be fomented by some European Power. _COPISTANTIMOPLE, MAY SO. The Russian travellers and observers increase in the different provinces of our Fmnire. The young Russians, who reside in our capital, do not dissemble that they consider our country as already devolved to th-ir nation. They make a great noise about the success which their armies have experienced in Ar menia and Georgia. It appears that they have retaken Derbent ; and even that Eriean, toe capital of the country whose name it bears, has fallen into their possession. Thus at the moment when this power is at war on the eastern confines of the Ottoman empire, on the western we see it change the constitution of Carlo, procure itself to be declared the prntedor of that Republic, to the detriment of the Porte and the Allies, and send thi ther fresh troops, which are unnecessary for the mere purpose of maintaining the tranquillity of a country sn thinly peopled, too few in number to give uneasi ness to European Potentates; but, nevertheless, suf ficiently numerous to support the increasing parti san:, whom the community of religion causes Russia to have in the Morca and throughout European Turkey. It i. known, that a detachment has taken possession of Preveza, which has much alarmed the Pacha of Janina, who has found himsi-lf obliged to march 1,600 men to keep the Russian detachment en re:i.ea. The death of Dgezzar Paella seems to have made an agreeable sensation here.—(3fdauser.) The remonstrance of the Elector of 13A DEN against the violation of his territ"ry in the ca-e of toe ar rest of the late Duke of Evanieit, was only received at Ratishon upon the nth last, and was to be com municated to the Diet on the 4d instant. The ut most curiosity was, of course, excit7d, to learn the contents of this declaration, but st was generally understood, that it was of such a nature as to ren der any further deliberation upon its object wholly useless; especially as there was reason to believe Cara the Emperor of Rvuta had concurred in it-- (Leydee Gazette.) PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. , Duni tx, im.y 11. " An event which certainly makes a very formi dable Azure, vamped up and embellished as it has been, in sense of your London Papers, was nothing more than a trifling dispute, which took place, more than Svc weeks since, between A few of the Galway Militia, then quartered at Belturbet, and some yeo men, natives of the town. I am sorry to say, it pro ceeded from religious differences, and that intolerant spirit which has generated so many evils in this illlated country. The yeomen in the County Ca van, are almost exclusively Orangemen. Some of them, elevated with liquor, threw out some aspersions upon the Catholics of Ireland. This, A few of t'ie Galway Militia, who are almost all Catholics, overheard and resented. A riot was the consequence, but happily no lives were lost, nor any serious injury received by any in dividual of either party. Considering the violence of party zeal that prevailed here a few years back, and the extraordinary pains that have been taken to foment it, it is astonishing that scenes of this kind Jo not more frequently occur; and we must bestow the highest praise upon the Earl of HAIDMICKE for his unceasing efforts to prevent their recurrence.— Since the year 1796, the twelfth of July has been a gra al gala with the Orange-men, and our streets have been annually disgraced with the drunken or gies of the lower classes of them. It is with sincere p . easure 1 am enabled to say, upon the best autbo. rity, that Government are resolved to discounte nance such proceedings in future, and that the sta tue of King Wit. i.l A os, in College Green, instead of being tricked dlit in all the Orange frippery of Rag Fair (as has been the case of late years) * will remain to-morrow, as it came from the hand of the artist, a noble monument of that great Prince, who united to the sincerest pity the most unbounded toleration. Vs ithin these few weeks past, new rumours have been .et afloat herr, and new alarms excited. It is . • said a new plot is on font, and a new insurreßion hatching; that on Wednesday night last, a Ficr.ch privateer came into the Bay, remained in it cluing the night, and sailed the nest morning ; ti.at several expatriated Irishmen have returned, and are now traversing the country, as emissaries from DONA. ; that within the last ten days, more than twenty thousand persons have come in.° the Liberty, &c.: that these accounts ate greatly exaggerated, I have nn doubt ; that they ate almost wholly without foundation, is more than probable. In fa 1, a number of labourers always come up to Dublin at this season of the year, to as silt in getting in the harvest in the surrounding country. This circumstance, never, perhaps, at tended to in happier times, and the return of Weiser., who was a leader of insurgents in the re bellion of 1798, and fur whose apprehension a re ward of 5001. is offered, are, it is snore than proba ble, the sole causes of those alarms. Government has, however, adopted every necessary precamion toga ad against surprise. The Conservators have had orders to be on the alert, and the military posts .n the Libi•rty have been doubled. In truth, the most feminine spirit must feel secure, when we re- Ark that xO,OOO as brave and as well-idisciplinod men as any in Europe, could be assembled in the awuopelis in the course of twelve hours." PUGILISM. FICIIT AT WAIAMIII ORLON. Yesterday the scientific bruisers had, what may be termed, :t grand field day. The long depending match between two boxers of celebrity, riToom, the fighting Jew, and Woon, the coachman, which has occasioned-comidel able stir in the sporting cir-_ Iles, was decided. The combatants, after meeting early in the morning at a public-house iu Vccadilly, unpaired in a post-chaise to Welsden-green, near Kilbourn Is, on the Edgware-road, where they arrived exactly at half past ten o'clock. A ring had been formed long btfore they came, but of very small circumference, owing to the pressure of an im mense concoui se of persons of all descriptions, who, apprehensive of being too late, had assembled as early as nine o'clock. The Green uas covered Ly people; and at least five hundred coaches, carts, and vehicles of different kinds, were stationed in every position that could command a view of the battle. Belcher, Bourke, the Chichi', Litik Pear, George Maddox, and others of the pugilistic corps, conscious of the confined situatiOn of the scene of a&on, as at first formed, resolutely determined to enlarge its iimensions, accordingly exerted themselves to that effect, and succeeded in forcing the mob back; after which Maddox marked out the ground, and stakes being driven, lines were affixed, which enclosed a tolerable theatre f r the gymnastic sport. All be- ing prepared, and the parties absent, a general de letion appeared to prevail, lest the fight should not take place; but the arrival of the post-chais-, with the contending heroes for pugilistic tame, dis t iciled the gloom, and they were led into the sing amidst the shouts of the multitude. Wood threw. up his hat in the air as he approached to meet his antagonist ; the Jew was silent, and con deSed himself orderly. Wood's second was George Maddox, and Paddington Jones was his bottle. holder. The Jew's second was Wilson, alias Williams, a hatter, and Isaacs a Jew, bottle holder. The fight then commenced : Wood had the advar.- age, and evinced much more altility tn his ad versary, his spatting was considered etc... Dent ; he threw out well ditched blows with the greases effect. and knocked the Jew down at almost every round, during the first seven About this time the strength of Wood was observed to fail ; a circum stance which bad been anticipated by those who betted on the Jew, on account of :hegrear difference in point of age between the combatants, Wood being upwards of 44, and the Jew a fine young man, five feet nine inches high. about twenty-four years old. It is not to be mach wondered at, if, under .such circumstances, Wood's strength yielded to the vi. gour and youth of his adversary, who was, is every other respect. inferior to the coachman. The fight, however, continued with great spirit; and plaudits, which echoed front the surrounding hills, encourag ed Wood to maintain the contest. Indeed. there appeared no want of resolution on either side; hut, in the course of ten more rounds, Wood bec“me kreatly the worse man, and at the last round, being nocked down, was unable to rise within the time allowed, being compietely out of breath. The Jew was then declared victor, after as severe a fight AS• any in the annals of bating, and in which much skill and courage were ealtibtted. They fought up wards of thirty roendt. and the contest lasted ex actly fifty minutes. The purse of fifty guineas, nut of which ten guineas went to the loser, was then given to the conqueror, who immediately went off to the Cock at Kilburn. Wood, though obliged to resign for want of breath, did not thew mugs) hard beating. a slight cut over his eye was all that bore evidence of the coldest ; the Jew, on the contrary. was dreadfully disfigured. At the second round, his right eye was closed, and his head and neck were shockingly bruised at the end of the fight. No sooner had this fight terminated, than another match was made between the seconds, Maddox and W il hams, for twenty guineas, subscribed by Mr. Mel lish, and another sporting are:Rieman. but, just as the parties were setting to, blacroanut, ' Carp meal, and two other Police officers belonging to Bow-street, entered, and dispersed the populace, who retired without making any disturbance. The Israelites, who might be said to consist of all Duke's-place, and the Jews in the Metropolis, ex pressed great satisfaCtion at the success of their champion, and did not leave the ground without carrying awajtcnnsiderable bets. Many sporting gentlemen were in the ring during the fight : among them we observed '•ir Tis urns Apreece, Sir John Lade, Mr. Mellish, and Mr. Buxton. On Saturday, the third Regiment of Fast India Volunteers, under the command of Colonel Ito- Scars, marched to Mitigate, for the purpose of firing with ball cartridge. A private, in returning his ramrod prior to the discharge of his piece, had the misfortune to teceire the ball in his hand. It was found necessall, 'to have recourse to amputation immediately, and the operation was performed by the StlTKeofl un the dram-head, who cut off the two middle hngers. The Colonel gave dire:lions that every attention should be paid to the man, and we are happy to hear that nu fatal cunsoquence is likely to attend this accident. On Thurs Jay mnrn;i)g a Court-Martial was sum. moved at the Royal l-lotv:, Liverpool, by order of His Royal Highness the Costasssosa in Cnitsr, for the trial of Captain CA ItaIICII A L, Adjutant of the Liverpool Fuzileers, for negle& of orders and contemptuous treatment of his superior officers. The Court consists of the Field Officers of all the Volunteer Corps, and snn .! of the Captains, assisted by Mr. RAINcOcK. deputy Judge Advocate. Col. ftocrow is the President. The trial is expeCted to last several days.
