The submission of the island of Samos to the Capitan Patha was confirmed by private letters from Trieste, and by the Levant Mail ailvices hare been received of the destruction of the island of Caxo, by the Egyptian squadron. These unhappy islanders arc stated to have fo:iosr.sl the terrible example of the !peartotes, in putting to deal) their wives and children. There was also a ru mour that Candia had fully submitted. Il'e do not exprct that the islands will be able to resist the armament of the Capitan l'acha ; but the capture of them will not advance the Turks one step towards the subjugation of Greece. The islands will fall into the hands of the Turks either desolated or destroyed. Sometimes,as at Ipsaro and Cato, the Mussehnen may glut their revenge, by shedding tor rents of Christian blood ; but ...VCR that satisfaction will be dearly purchan•d by an abundant slaughter of the bar barians themselves. We observe with regret the attempts that are making to deprive the Greeks of the sympathy and support of Europe, by representing them as a cowardly and degenerate race, unworthy of the blessings for which they are contending. An evening paper copies from the Austrian Obsererr a malignant article of this description, and, without naming the source from which it is derived, gives it as an answer to the " emphatic eulogies on the gallantry and heroism of the modern Greeks." We have, i:: another column, inserted this detail, "received from the n.o.,:tir of a French captain," as it is pretended; but we rive stated our authority, and as an antidote to the calum nies of the wretched and slavish As.:rbus Observer, the servile echo of the sentiments of the Iloly Alliance, we bare quoted from the Fr anhfial Journal a paragraph, in which the melancholy a:•nsations infused into the iman people, by the fall of !pars, are eloquently ex pressed. if all that we have read of the valour and en terprise of the %iodate mariners, during this bog and sanguinary contest, were forgetten, the %nigh:fact, that the islanders perished, almost to a man, in defence of their homes, is a melancholy bet triumphant refutation of die a!anders published against their memory. flow can •' heroism" be shewn snore fully than by a devotedness so complete. Let us hear no more odious attacks on a brave and suffering people, struggling for their existence against tint common euany of Christendom. tame alarming, but we believe, esaggerated reports were circulated yesterday in the City, reaps:dings general lusur rretion of the Negroes in the island of Jillll3lol, and of toisegucrier the devastation of the plantations, anil the sfYus;uti of blood in sever. 1 ilirsn'sh:s between the King's troops and the rebels. These rt ports originated in a em u:nu:cation from the Agent to Lloyd's, at Falmouth, who 1,-armmitttd an extract from the la c -book of the Lad) 21 sty l'ollown packet, from the Leeward Islands: — On the 7th :nst. in tat. 48. LI spoke the Richard Reynolds, tf Infidel), Robots, from JAntaita, out six weeks. Sir J. Keane, with h,e companies of the 91,1 regiment, had embarked on board his :4.tjesty's ship Hussar, foe Savannah Is !lac, to quell an insur rection of the Negroes. Some persons thought it partial, others cseral. Mt: Itic:ta I Itermthts sailed, they acre setting Pre to the sugar works in the neiOtbourliood." The Richard Reynolds has aniveal at Dal, but the in teLigence she brings is no fuller or clearer than that con veyed in the cxtrect front her log-book. It is stated, how eta, confidently. that the insurrection had extcarled to the vicinity of Savannah la Mar. where the negrocs were netticg fire to the sugar works in every direction. The letters rec ived yesterday from Jamaica allude only to the outrages in die pariah of St. Ann's, without giving any fur ther intelligence of:mutt particulars. The Ridtard Reynolds left Kiagston on the 30th of June. The James Laing, which vatic I the day before, is also in the Downs. The Hand was t'acn comparatively tranquil. Letters to the 21th of June have also been received at Bristol, which are ailent as to the new insurrection. The embarkation of Sir, lohn Beane with the troops may have given rise to these rumours at hingsto a. The ft ve:ish state of the public mind in the West Indira is such, that every movement of the King's tramps is conjeztured to relate to some appre hended or actual danger. 'rt.? colonists repose on a init e 'of gunpowder, and the utmost vigilante and fortitude an alone save them from destructioti- An esPinlhiti°n has been► given of the departure et the Lieutenant-Governor from Kingston, which may account for that fact, without supposing it to arise from the extension of the insurrection. By the last packet, a letter was received from Sir John Keane, stating his inten tion to proceed in person with troops for Savannah is Mar, where there were excellent barracks, and in the neighbourhood of which the late insurrections have oc curred. We trust this explanation may prove as consistent with truth as it is agreeable to our wishes. The Leeward Island mail brings accounts from Barbadoes of the Ist of July, and from Trinidad of the 4th, as well as letters from Caracas of the 18th of June. All was tranquil at these places at those dates. If the rumours should ulti mately turn out not only exaggerated but groundless, they are still pregnant with lessons to us at home, with regard to the forbearance we ought to observe, just now, in our in inference with colonial affairs. Without the unfriendly pressure of the authority of the mother country, the cola nista can hardly keep down the mutinous spirit of their slaves. As in the midst of these continual alarms no ma chinery for the further improvement of the condition of the negroes can be brought into operation, as no concession can or ought to be hazarded which would wear the appearance of an extorted right, we are sure that every temperate and reflecting person will Dee the absolute necessity of abstain big, in future, from that pernicious iartermeddling with the colonial Authorities, which, if it have not actually pro duced results deeply bloodstained, has certainly collected a threatening mass of black clouds, from which destrue tion seems ready, at a moment's warning, to be poured down on the ill-fated heads of the colonists. By a private letter, received by the last New York Packet, we learn, with great pleasure, that the dissentions, which were on the point of breaking out between the Con gress of Xalisco and the supreme executive authority of the Mexican federation, have been suppressed by the energy of the Dictator Bravo. There was every reason to suspect that Iturbide bad been tampering with Quintanar and the principal persons in the local government at Xalisco. and if the Dictator had not crushed the designs of the conspirators by his expeditious movement on Guada laxara, a civil war :night have ensued. We are much gratified to find, that the feelings of the people arc decidedly in favour of the federal union, and that Bravo entered the city amid the enthusiastic applause of its inhabitants. The military faction, on which hurl:fides hopes rested, is now powerless, and the adventurer himself will in all pro bability fall into the hands of the Republican Generals almost as soon as he makes his descent on the coast. We cannot pity him, though the sternest decree of public jus tice should be executed upon him. No criminal enterprise was ever undertaken to disturb the peace of a nation with less ground of extenuation. There can be no doubt now of the solidity and strength of the Mexican Government. The only danger that could menace it has passed away. Nxw You:, Jus.r 17. I have just time to writs you by the packet to inform you, that the schooner Eclipse, enpt. Marshtou, Is this Instant arrived in twenty days from Sotto la Marina, a small port to the northward of Tampico, the very same whets the enterprising, but unfortunate, Mina lamled some years ago. By this vessel we have rect•lvcd the intelligence that General Bravo, after snaking a rapid march, had entirely disconcerted the projects of his opponent Quintanar, and enured the rich and populous city of Uusdalagara on the Illth of Jane, where he was received with the most enthusiastic acclama tions, the people exclaiming " Viva Bravo I" " Viva Ii Soberano Coognano Coustituyente Mexican!"—{Bravo for ever! The Sovereign Constituent Mexican Congress for ever l)—The troops immediately atrandoned Quintanar, and joined the brave filexicans. In the evening the city was illuminated, and public rejoicings of every description took place. Deserted by all his followers, Quintanar has lied fur safety to the province of Sonora. Thus has tranquillity been restored to, and the union mosolitlated be. t wren two of the most populous and interesting provinces in the New World, and schemes dismal:cried which had extensive ratui ticat ions. Alter remaining in Guadalsitara a few days, It was the inten tion of t imeral Bravo to put himself in communication, or rather to form a second line of operation, with General Is Garza, who commands a considerable force of faithful troops In the province of Santander, and closely watches the coast at the same time, In the event of 'turbid° daring to make an attempt at landing. General Gana is a man possessed of immense property, and is the sante individual who tirat opposed the Ex-Emperor when he caused twcuty-four Members of the Congress to be arrested. His tidelity cannot fur a moment be doubter'. Prince Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambassador, had a long interview yesterday afternoon with Mr. Secretary Canning, at the Foreign Office. Prince Esterhasy, who Is appointed Ambassador from Vienna to the Court of France, does not enter upon his mission until the autumn. The Prince's suite will comprise some of the sons of the highest Statesmen and Nobility in Germany, at the head of which is young Metternich. VIENNA, JULY t? 9.—11 is Highness Prince Gustavus, son of the Es-King of Sweden, who has been treated with the greatest distinction by the Imperial Family, set out yesterday to continue his journey. He took leave of their Majesties at Baden on Sunday. The Emperor and Em press arrived here yesterday from Haden. es•tta.—ln a private letter received yesterday from Smyrna, the taking of Ipsara is thus in substance nar rated :—" On Friday, the 'A ultimo, the Capitan Paella (.rrived off the island, and, on the following morning, open ed such a terrible and well-directed fire, that two hours af ter sun-rise the Lipal batteries of he island were dis mounted. The disembarkation of the troops, to the num ber of I was then effected upon different points ; t h e :reeks were driven from position to position, and a horrid massacre followed. At three o'clock in the afternoon the Turkish flag floated upon all the fortifications, and the town and surrounding villages were set on tire. On the follow ing day the whole of the island hail submitted, with the eseertion of a fort named Pako Castro, situated upon an elevation in the centre of the island, and in which all the Greeks who bad been able to attain it had taken refuge. This fort was blown up at noon, but it was not known whether by the besieged themselves or by the besiegers. The fate oi* the Ipsariot vessels was unknown, but it was fear( II that th, y hail fallen into the hands of the Turks, or bad beer( destroyed. It is said that very few Greeks were !saved, but that whilst they had life they fought desperate ; ly, and that be. loss of the Turks was in proportion to the boldness of their enterprise. Despatches, dated the lit July, were received at the Colonial 011iee from Barbadoes, and also despatches, dated the Ith July, from Trinidad. Both Colonies re mained in a trangitil state. Levers of the '26th June were received yesterday morn ing from Bermuda. They give a matisfimtury account of the slate of the Colony. The public works were proceed hag, and the convicts remained healthy. It is generally reported tha• the negoeiations which have latterly been carried on between his Most Faithful Majesty John, King of Portugal, and his son, Don Pedro, the Emperor of Brazils. arc drawing to a favourable conclu sion. It is asserted that all t h e claims of Portugal on the „ Brazils have been adjusters, and that the only remaining obstatie to a complete recognition on the part of Portugal, of the independence of the Brazils, centres in the claims of the Home of Braganza to the Portuguese and Brazilian Thrones. Halifax papers to the tstli ult. were received yesterday at our officw. They contain the Address of the inha bitants of Quebec to his Excellency the Earl of Dalhousie, with his Lordship's Answer. The inhabitants express sentiments of warm and affectionate regret at the departure of his Ezeelkney. They acknowledge the benefits the Colony has derived from his iii iii istration—praise the readiness and courtesy with which every application was received and attended to—and hope for his return. They also express the kindest wishes for a safe and ph want pass-:te to himself and his Lady. These are proots of the high estimation in which his Lordship's public conduct and private virtues arc held in Canada. ! i, ul 2 4 , .. n g e u t r h e : :ir e ri x eit t tra r i a : Til t , a rra : p ez ii:r i.repn xedthetthhofra.t7ermirwecahis:ll:::!h;:ittientit,ih:driTaedjt.:ui tna r . , :" - P:iin i""--. -i t; COBURG THEATRE.

If this be so, can it be presumption in tae to inquire why it is so? if I have done any wrong, let me know wherein I have offended. If I have done no wrong, is my total exclusion front the theatre an act of justice, either to the pub lic or myself ?" Now, in the present dearth of female dramatic talent, we may be naturally astonished why this lady has been so strangely abandoned. If Mr. Elliston have " made his arrangements for years to come," Mr. Elliston has forgotten the duty of a theatrical manager. in closing the doors of his theatre thus hermetically against the entrance of any talent that may appear; and if lie have not made such ar rangements, we think he might have been hold enough to have assigned a more independent reason for the exclusion of a lady, who is manifestly superior in natural talent, ac quirements, and a knowledge of sfve-facl to any actress on the Lon don hoards. Notwithstanding the narrow limits to which her exertions were confined, we have been borne out in our latter assertion by her performances at the Co burg theatre, and by her recent and more private recitations at the Argyle Rooms. In the drama of last night, and par ticularly in the latter scenes of it, her powers were ably and effectively displayed. Iler fine voice, chaste action, and dig ' nified demeanour, were only excelled by her perfect concep -1 tion of the character she sustained. Miss Nlacauley was ably supported by Messrs. Huntley, Cobham, and Bengough, as well as by Miss 11'atson. The whole performance of the evening was most satisfactory ; so much so, as to make us readily forgive the play-bill puff's direct of the l'ilanager, as they related to " most rapturous approbation," " delighted and overflowing audiences," "intense and pathetic interest," and even " the sudden appearance of one of the Spectre Band from the Old Oak Chest."

Every place of public amusement has some pa. day selected and set apart for peculiar display. The oc casion of the King's visit to the Theatre, the day of the Derby stakes at Epsom, and the lYth of August at Vaux hall, are the days on which these respective resorts of the gay and fashionable world are thronged with a more than ordinary numerous aid brilliant concourse of visitors. In the selection of the day by the proprietors of Vauxhall, a becoming motive of loyalty seems to have had a share which is well adapted, and agreeable to the feelings and taste of the people of England. Last evening these gardens, " put on all their beauty and their brilliancy," and shone forth in all the gorgeous splendour of oriental magnificence. Several thousand additional lamps (we could not easily count how many), variegated and disposed in curious and !fantastic forms, greatly augmented the beauty of these de lightful gardens, and enhanced the entertainments, which were kept up in great variety, and corresponding excellence throughout the evening. The space enclosed by the co vered walk was literally enveloped in " one unclouded blaze of living light." From an early hour the company began to assemble, amp the gatdens were soon filled. The performances were all highly creditable to the management of these gardens. The orchestra was under the controul of Mr. Rooke, and the style in which the musical pieces were got up, bespoke great ability and competency for the department entrusted to his charg e. The overture from Der Freieehuta was very effectively performed, though with the disadvantage of encountering the drawback inseparable from musical performances in the 'pen air. There was a song, " Even as the Sun," by Miss Witham, a young lady, and a debutante of considerable! promise. The Musical Temple. the Fantoecini Exhibi don, the Cosmoramaa, and the French Jugglers, were all' la requisition to heighten and diversify the entertainments. "The King, our Patron's Natal Day,' in green and pink variegated lamps, was tastefully arranged, and attracted particular attention. There were many new devices in the ! display of fireworks. Amongst the most attractive we! noticed a r•sperb circle of forty-eight radii, with " rivat Rex" in the centre ; a new piece of firework, ctanging at interval', displaying the words, " God save the King ;", a grand representation of a cross, with scroll-work in edits son and yellow, and a variety of chain-work represented in white first, wills a conclusion representing lattice-work of the most extensive magnitude. If there were any fault to be found, it was with the crowd, which was excessive ; but it is a very unavailing censure to utter this complaint, fer the fault, we fear, is one which the Proprietors will not be very solicitous to correct. Indeed, when the vast and expensive preparations which were made for last night's amusements are taken into consideration, one can hardly be selfish enough to deny others the pleasure of being spec tators, and the Proprietors the well-earned profits of the spectacle. Up to an advanced hour this morning the utmost good humour and propriety prevailed, and at the hour we left the Gardens the joyous inspirations of spark ' ling champaign, ahil other excellent wines, induced nu ! tnerous parties " to twirl the light limb" in waltzes, qua , drillcs, and Scotch reels. It was calculated that there were not less than 11,000 persons present, and the night !continued highly favourable, although there were a few in timidating showers in the early part of the evening. Amongst many distinguished families and persons pres nt we noticed the Russian, Portuguese. and Dutch Ainks sailors, the Earl cf Onnonsle, Lady lturgoye', &c. 8:c. AMERICA.

A certain Ding had a jester at Court, and observing ttio ee day carrying in hi, hand a book, the King inquired whelk ta to which the jester answered—" A Register of Fools." " Indeed," yuuth the King, " and whom did you regisetan last ?" " You? Majesty," said the jester. " And wily ?" asked the monarch. " I heard that your Majesty had given one, of whom yea Inv , but little, ten thousand pieces of gold to go to Arabia and p,:ir chase horses fur you, and so I put down your 3lsjesty's ors seeing that he whoni you have sent newer will return." " But, fool," imedh the King, " he bed' returned even Os very day." " Then," quoth the jester, " I will rub your Majesty's om out of my regintor, and insert his."

The rides and drives in the neighbourhood are very superior.

THE KINGS BIRTH-711T. Wiwpsoa, Avousr 12. This day being...ii r. blajesty!a birth-day, the morning was ushered in witlinagingsof bells, and other demonstra tions of' rejoicing. Boon after twelve Omsk, the 341 Regiment of Guards, on duty here, marchedlrom the foot barracks, in their full uniforms, to the 5 1,orrir Walk, •and at one o'clock fired a jest de jou., and gable three elitiers. Shortly after one o'clock the King came down the Long Walk, in his carriage, and drove to the Castle, where Mr. Wyatt, the architect, and the tradespeople employed in the projected alterations and improvements, were in wait ing. The workpeople all stood in a row, and saluted his Majesty as he passed, which the King graciously returned. His Majesty proceeded to lay the first stone for the new grand entrance : everything was in readiness for the oc casion, anti the silver trowel was presented to the King, who then laid the first atone, after which his Majesty pre sented Mr. Wvatis •Ckyk of the Works with the silver trowel. The King ordered each of the workmen half-a crown. The King afterwards inspected the alterations making in the interior of the Castle. The workmen, in digging in the Castle-yard, which they are lowering about three feet, found a hole which goes down near twenty feet, anti also a large passage that goes under the Castle and 'Ferran:, which had never b.en heard of by the oldest man living ; it was pointed out to the King, who gave directions for its being cleared out. The King will return its the evening to the Royal Lodge, where his Majesty will have a grand dinner party, at which the band of the third Regiment of Foot Guards are la attend. All the King's tratierpraple in the town are making pre parations to illuminate in honour of the day. Yesterday was the King's birth-day, when his Majesty completed his 621 year. The day was not observed as a national rejoicing, the King having been graciously pleased to comtnantl that the day should be observed as a national fesfival on the 23d Api His Maje sty, however, received tho congratulations on the happy return of the anniversary from the Duke of York, who came from Brighton expressly for the occasion, and others of kia Royal relatives ; together with a number of the Nobility and Gentry, who reside in and near Windsor. The day was observed at Kew by its being fixed on for laying the firstitone of the new Free School, by his Royal Highness the 'Duke of Clarence, in the performance of which ceremony his Royal Highness was accompanied by the Royal Duchess. A sermon was preached in the church on the occasion, by the Rev. Thomas Haverfield. The church service was performed in the' eathetkal st ) le by Mr. Ilawes, Mr. Cooke, and other professicnal gentlemen. The day WWI observed by some of the Fire Insurance Offices, and other public cAablishments holding their an niversary festivals, parading through the streets of London. WORTHING, Act:. 12.
