The Moniker and other Paris Papers of Sunday are barren of any intelligence of interest. Affairs remain the same in Spain. Outrageous tyranny and wide-spread [ misery reign supreme through that unhappy country. Front Greece, in the other extremity of Europe, accounts are more cheering. While the gloom of despotism has settled over Western Europe, light is every day break ing more folly into the bright day of liberty in the Fast, and diffuring life, and hope, and freedom, over that classic land, so long trampled by the hoof of the savage barbarian. The third attempt of the ruth less Turk on theme has utterly 'failed; his rabble bands have been scattered in disorder, and his fleet has experienced nothing but defeat. A letter, received from &lamina, dated the Sth of November, incloses a copy of one from the Greek Admiral, on board his ship, the Miaully, on the Ist of OetobM. It confirms the de [ feat of the Turkiab fleet in the o Z tu mork of September. The Greeks having found an thy- to Weak In [ divisions with their fire-ships, eleven of the Capitan Pacha's vessels are said to have been 4 desfroyed, and one frigate of 514 guns captured ; fifteen of his ships were blockaded in the Gulf of Vole, end the remainder had fled iu confusion to the Dardanelles, where they and the ('apitan Pacha had arrived. The latter had landed at Constantinople, and abandoned the remnant of his fugitive squadron to hie Vice-Admiral. At the last meeting of the infatuated Divan, where this functionary assisted, the vain project of an amnesty to the Greeks (like that of Fer dinand's at Madrid) is said to have been rejected. Corinth, it was known, had fallen to the Greek forces, and the Asiatics before Missolonghi ha4l broken up in despair : both these events had given new energy to the Greeks. No amnesty or concessions new, short of absolute free dom, will content this gallant people; they never will bend their necks to the yoke of Moslem tyranny again. The Cmestiletionnel of Sunday contains in its columns a long and interesting detail of the last campaign of the barba rians in the Mores, which we regret the crowded state of our columns will not permit us to give this morning. It is full of Greek heroism, and abounds with actions every way worthy of them and the immortal ancestors from whom they arc descended.

On the accession of Napoleon he ' t i me d t o France, ani served in Spain, where he was made Co lonel, lie is said to have owed the favour of Napoleon to the at tractions of his wife, Mademoiselle Marbtraf. In 11113 he earn 'sanded a regiment under the Duke of Anpuleme, in whet was called the campaign of the South, and en the return of the King was sane a 3lartschal de Camp. In the Chamber of Deputies D'Arnbrugesc was one of the most violent partisans of despo. tiara. and rendered himself obnoxious by his clamours in calling the Liberal Orators to order.

FRANKFORT, Dee. 2L—it is affirmed that conferences on the affairs of Greece have been held at St. Petersburgh. between Count Nesselrode, the Senator Tatirelteff, and the Austrian Asa baassilor. These conferences will doubtless assume a toner de cided character, as soon as the Russian Cabinet shall have received the despatches sent to it from Constantinople by the Austrian Is ternunao, which state the new pretensions set up by the Port.

MAICY 7 / 1 1:BRYANSTON-SQUARE.—To-day the new ; Church of St. Mary's, flevanston.square, will be consecrated by the Bishop of London. The architect is Mr. Smltlie. The exte rior and interior are equally plain, but of a simple, aithedral-like character. The building, which is of a grey brick, is thro u gh ou t of the most substantial kind, and the external appearance is very pleasing. The principal front (facing 'Wyndham-place and Bryan. stone...quire) (imian. of a serial-circular portico of lonic pillars, hi' high relief. The interior is almost entirely divested of ornaments, but its size and adaptation are exceedingly st ri kft. The roof is cored, and supported by fluted Ureic pi llars. There is but one" gallery, which as spacious and deep, and admirably adapted to the; ' purposes of seeing and hearing. At thaniztreruiry, near the organ,' there arc WU free sittings; and, In tbesientre 01' the aide, there arc not fewer titan MA additional free iiitings--a plan which salmi* Is{ too much commended. The church will contain 2.000 sitters ; said, I according to report, every rented sitting is engaged. The own is not only very large, but of an exceedingly tine tone. We are glad to perceive, by the Greenock porapuper, that the Cherokee sloop of war, concerning which lOW painful rumours were current, arrived in the I lyde from a cmise on Wed ae.day last.

Thurtell and Hunt then bowed, and, secrenpanied by Memos. Fenton, Jay, and Harmer, retired, greatly fatigued by the long and anxious so licitude they had undergone during the day. HIIT►ORD, TVLIDAT NI;,,T. The town has been filled to-day . in a most inconvenient degree: every bed has been engaged, and the highest prices have been obtained. The sudden fullness of the town has surprised every one. Late this evening there were several arrivals. The prisoners behaved during the day with great pro priety in their demeanour. They were attentive to the Proceedings. A candle was placed on Thurtalfs desk dur ing the trial. Ile listened to the whole evidence through out the day with the moat marked attention. At intervals he took notes, and evinced a very correct and nice dis crimination in selecting the leading points of the evi dence for taking notes, which he took very copiously. The length of the investigation did net appear at all to fatigue him, and he seemed to acquire renewed and augmented composure on the appearance of each witness uhe appeared in succession on the table. Mr. Jay was seated beside him during greater part of the day, and he continued in constant consultation with him on various party of the evidence. Thurtell and Hunt seemed to re gard Probert, whilst he was giving his Isaiwoory, with • glance of very significant contempt. Hunt did not take notes during any part of the trial, and now and then seemed lost in apathy, and totally indifferent to the pro ceedings in Court. Towards the close of the examination he evinced more attention to the proceedings, and occasion ally took a notice of the evidence. Considerable confusion prevailed this morning at the entrances to the Court, from the inertness and stupidity of the constables, and the apparent want of system in the arrangements for the admission of the parties entitled to enter the Court. At the door for the Magistrates, and that for the Solicitors and witnesses, the most violent con flicts ensued, and it was with extreme difficulty the , gentlemen of the press obtained admission in the morning, when the Court opened; and throughout the day the utmost pressure was sustained both in the Court and in the passage to and from it. We regretted to observe that the excellent regulations adopted on the last occasion were so much departed from now, or if not de parted from, at hut so ill enforced. It is not to he ex pectid that the public can hope to be accurately informed on these subjects, if such obstacles are unnecessarily raised in the way of reporting the proceedings that excite public interest.

Sin--Nothing so much contributes to render your valuable of such high consideration, as the regard with which you ewer the interests of society, and the sea l y ou ev i nce in poindng out and reproving the spirit of oppression and injustice, and diming to light the "hole and corner areues" of power and authority, wis unjustly and improperly exercised. The object of my present appeal through such an invaluable m e di um , i s , to po i nt out, it not a breach of public faith, at the least an inconsieteney, which I trust the proper authorities will not continue to 11110Cti00. I allude to their present conduct in regard to the trade with Cey lon, where every hope of the merchant has been defeated, end every pledge on the part of his 3lajeety's Ministers broker. Public de deletion was made that the cinnamon of Ceylon should be sold on the part of his Majesty's Government to the his*st cyder, without reserve. But, Sir, you will be astonished to Mew that In no one instance has th e c i nnamon b e e n so so ld . I t has ben inns riablv bought in for Government, with the exception of a very few !saki, shipped to Frai.ce in a ship sent out expressly foe it. The consequence has been, that the merchants could neither podia* for themselves, nor execute the commissions they were drifted with. Surely it cannot he urged (even if such en argument Wgresibeis. bilge), that a mildew* high Twice wow tun offered ; as I would beg to shew that as highs price was bid at Ceylon, as his Majesty's Government are likely to obtain tot it in this country—ex. gr. ; R.

DESTRUCTIVE Fta v.—Yesterday morning, at five o'clock, as Brown and Ward, two watchmen stationed in Mac. eksfield-strees, Berkeley-square, were going their rounds, they observed smoke issue from th e l ower part o f t h e h ouse of Sir Wi t- Liam Walpole. On their approaching nearest they smelt the burn ing of wood, and, not doubting but that the house was on fire, they knocked at the door, but untimticately could not gain miniittancei till they forced in the door, which was strongly barred and bolted. On going into the kitchen, the first thing they observed sas a wooden bucket on fire; the duetting and wainscot had also caught, as they imagined, from the lire is the kitchen range. They pro cured water from the chum, atilt attempted t o put i 4..• vat their aims proved unavailing. The flame toms forth in all direc tions and they were obliged, as well is all th e servants, to depart.
