LONDON, FRIDAY, Ili 1% 1821. +-- The French Papers, received last night, contain no in telligence of any importance beyond their Greek news, and that was principally communicated by the Augaburgh Papers, received in the course of yesterday. The substance of it is (under date Trieste, the 28th of April), that intelligence from all quarters confirm the previous ac counu of the relief of Alissolonglii, by the triumphant entry of Admiral M1A1.71.14 into that port. Scarcely any men tion, however, is made of his having encountered any Turkish flmt before his reported successful relief of the fortress. The last accounts from Prevesa, which are said t be of the 19th of April. assert that it was RF.DECHID PA A, and not IBRAHIM, who was wounded before Mis s donghi, and that h? still remaimil thxre, ill of his wound. It is evident that these accounts refer to intelligence which we have already laid before our readers, since we have a repetition of the destruction of the boats or rafts, on which part of the E r ;yptian army had embarked, in order to aid in a general attack of the town, by their being stranded on t/me sand-banks, amber its walls, which placed them of course under a galling fire from th) besieged. It is also re-asserted, that FA svteß and GOUII4B had advanced in rest of the Turks ; that they had captured their works on the land side of Minolongbi, and had thrown their whole line into alarm as far as Arta ; and that NOTO Bo rzaars and Mucci! were universally hailed as the tie- Lverers of Greece. • Although we still have confident liepes of the ultimate triumph of the Greek cause, we cannot avoid noticing, that if the relief of the fortress by NlsAtit.is had succeeded, the besieged must have known whether the Egyptian fleet had Leen attacked by Shay cis or not, previous to his throw ing in those supplies for which the ltlissolonghians are re. presented as professing so much gratitude. We reason thus from the following account, which is dated Corfu, April 15 - •• On the 9 h April it was oliservcd from the wills of Miss°. lenghi, immix Petro, that. same ships were on tire, and it was 4adiered that Miaulis had attacked the Egyptian fleet. The in habitants of Nlissolonglii hive wantonly derlired to the Oreek Osvernment their most cordial gratitude for the supplies of am rn.Mision rind provisions, and at the panne time added the assu. mime, that they needed nothing more, to preserve Dlissolunglii as a sacred deposit." Now we take it to be quite clear that if the inhabitants had the means of conveying their grateful sense of the as sistance thus timely rendered to them, the sane convey ance would have b-en liked to inform their countrymen of any action between the contending fle•ts. Th , re is, in fact, no power of arriving at any correct conclusion as to this *Saguia and eventful contest, from the various contra dictory and jumbled accounts which come to us through the Continental journals. .A stronger proof of this, we think, einnot well be affbniod, than the contrast between the ibo4e news and the following extract from the Cer- Men papers, professing to be taken from the Osserinstore Triestino, or the 47th of April : " The captain of a merchantman, oho left Presets on the 14th April, lava, • that it vu reported in Preve.a that there had been soother action before klissoloNglii, to the divadvatit ige of the Turks, and that Ibrahim had returned to the 51orea, leaving 14,000 Turk% to continue the siege, and having given arch IS to the Turkish beet to maintain the blockade oir the era The .Con,t ihtionnel says that M. Ey x Ann has trans mitted to the Greek Committee in Paris the following letter, dated April r.t6 _ " A yessd, which arrived yesterday at Leghorn, has brought Ms news that the Greek fleet has taken thirty sail of vessels, laded with provisions of ail kinds for Ibrahim, and 111 A brought thtm 1:.t0 Ncroli di Romania. This is probably the rause of its delay. I an impatient to beer of i.s arrival in the Entlian irss, Ike It is there oily that they will 13- able to forte the Tarks t. , re. the from Ittisoplonglii.

Ey NA en a further stun of' 10,000 francs. Many other awns have been collected in Sv. ita..riand. M. Eystann, who has hi:nsk If so inuc't contributed to serve the noble anise of the Greets, heing informed that the first succours tarnished by the Paris emninittee had arrived at Mis gokinghi, and had excited the gratitude of t L e heroic in habitants, has none to Ancona, to superintend the new switsvoys of provisions and cinarunition. - racwcri Fttwus.-PAlig.

The triumphant majurities which kihristers carripl with them latt night in both Umtata of i'rriaaratra, on the two measures which they have introduced for the purpose of giving relief to the distresred manufacturing and labouring poor, must be satisfactory to the coun try. These measures, it cannot be denied, are earnest of what Ministers would do for the good of all classes of the community, were they not thwarted in their best endea vours by the obstinacy of many, both at home and abroad, who either cannot or will not see the ultimate advantages which must result to all nations by a nearer proximity to equality and good-will, through reciprocity of trade and a mutual abatement of those which now amount almost to prohibitory duties on all sides. We fear, however, that this must desirable end will be of long attainment, through the strange jealousies of other nations ; and if we find them perfectly obdurate on that head, we imagine that Minis ters must resort to the old prohibitory laws, if not to a still more powerful systetr of commercial and maritime exclu sion than formerly. None could more lament such a return to old, and we had hoped exploded tneasures, than we would, should a recurrence to them be rendered necessary ; but "self-preservation" (as the adage saTs) is not only the first law of man's nature, but of nations also. It cannot fail to be understood that, in the foregoing slight observa tions, we allude to the difficulties which our Government has had to contend with, in obtaining from foreign states their acquiescence in commercial treaties, founded on reci procal advantage. CITY, THURSDAY EVZNINO. The buoyancy that was apparent in the money markets yeater. day has passed away, and rumours of warlike intentions on the part of Russia, and of unfavourable news from the manufacturing dis tricts, have caused Consols to decline considerably in the course of the day. They opened at 79, but they soon retrograded to 7011 f, with a very heavy appearance, and subsequently were done at 0 , at which latter price they closed, having been previously, however, done at d. Exchequer Bills were at 9s. 10s. prem. for the large, and Vs. l IP. for the small; and the New Scrip I prem. The reasons that were yesterday assigned for the improvement in the South American market appeared this morning to lose their in fluence, and were considered as the mere loose assertions of some interested individuals at Bogota. The consequence has been that Colombian Bonds have declined from 44 to 421, and Mexican 6 per Cents. from 631 to 62i. The transactions in the other Securl. ties of the New States were very limited. Spanish Bonds were 7i Although the intelligence respecting the Greek cause is com paratively satisfactory as tar as it can be relied upon, still the Bonds do not rally, as might have been expected, since their depression in consequence of the report of the fall of Missolonghi. Today they were 15., without any elasticity in the market. The business In the Share Market has again relapsed Into the same dormant state that we have so long had occasion to notice. By the following extract from a letter, dated Madrid, April 24, it should seem that the Spanish Ministry is no longer under any apprehension of a pressing scarcity of corn. The other extract that we give from this letter will not be very satisfactory to those per sons in this country who have claims on Spain. The extract from the letter dated Corfu will be read with interest, and cannot fall to produce general satisfaction. " BiALIIID, APRIL 24. " The Council of State has decreed that no licenses whatever shall be granted for the importation of Wheat, and those already given to be rescinded. It was expected the drought would have compelled the issuing of permits, but the late abundant and conti nuing rains assure the farmer of his crop, and put an end to every idea of importing from abroad. ,• The prevalent opinion is, that Mr. Simon Cock's mission will rum to nothing, or next to nothing. He will be amu.ed with all mannrr of shuffling and delay. There is not a dollar in the Treasury to pay any one, nor will there be ; therefore what is to be done ?

This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, who were in as humble sphere of life at %I auditor, against the defendant,the propri etor 9f the Buckinghamshire Gazette, Windsor and Eton Express, and Reading Chroiikle, to recover compensation in damages fur an alleged libel on the plaintiff's wife, contained in a report of what was supposed to have taken place before the :Nlagistrates of Wind sor, and subsequently at the 11'indsor.Sessions, on a charge of assault preferred by a pawn of the name of Itangecroft. On a former occasion an action against the same defendant was tried at Guildhall for the same libel, and a verdict fur 501. was found by the Jury. The present action was for that part of the libel which referral to the plaintiff's wife. The publication of the libel was proved in the usual way by wit. nentlt from the Stamp-office, and in aggravation, a report of the for mer trial at Guildhall, insetted in the defendant's paper, was also read, together with the record of the former action, containing a justification pleaded by the defendant. 111 r. Robinson, of Clifford's Inn, the attorney of the plaintiffs, was called as a witne.s, to prove that the defendant had refused to Insert any explanatory paragraph, and, in his cross.exainination, admitted that he had brought actions against the Morning- Chroni cle, Englishman, Observer, British Peen, and Morning Herald, for aupposed libels contained in reports of the former trial inserted In these papers, both in his own name and In the names of the plaintiffs. lie had also brought another action against the Morn ing Post, which had been discontinued in consequence of the pro. prietor inserting an apology.

This was an action brought to recover twenty pounds, the sum paid for a hone, which, at the time of the purchase, was blind. The plaintiffs a liorse.dealer and coachmaster, and the defendant a private gentleman. The latter had represented the horse as hey. ing no fault, with the exception of being blind ; but after the poe. chase it was found that the hone had the megrims, and eight days after he was sold to plaintiff he died. The lungs were opened, and found to be in a state of suppuration. A discarded groom of the defendant's proved that his master told him to say the horse had no fault but that before.mentioned. This witness also swore, that, after the horse was sold, his master said, D—n him, I'll give him a week to live." A horse-dealer, of the name of Best, proved, that the horse was sent to him with similar instructions. Witness sold the horse once, but he was returned, not being sound. The defence set up was, that the words did not amount to a larranty. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE charged the Jury.

These Sessions commenced this day, before Mr. Baron HUL• LOCK, the LORD ItIAYOR, &Cf M.'Donovan was convicted of stealing In the dwelling-house of James Hauls, a quantity of cheese, &c. This prisoner was convicted by leaving part of his waistcoat in the prosecutor's yard, which had been torn off in his attempt to get over thc wall. When taken by the officers, they immediately fitted the piece to the torn part of a waistcoat he had then on him. The conviction was not capital. Hannah Green was indicted for stealing in the house of Amelia Bond, a purse, and 41. 10s. her moneys, and other property. Mrs. Joyce lodges at Mrs. Bond's house, in the parish of St. James, Westminster. The prisoner was employed as Mrs. Bund's nurse; Mrs. B. is confined to her bed ; the obtainer had been there eleven weeks. _ A. D. Bund, an adopted daughter of the prosecutrix, with whom she lives, said, her mother had told her where her money was placed, and wished her to fetch it, which she did ; it was in a jar in a closet, and in a purse, in the first fluor front room, where her mother lay ; there were three guineas and three crowns; when she had counted it over with the last witness, she replaced it; the closet was open, and the prisoner had access to it. A day or two after, when she went to look for it, she found it had been removed, though the jar still remained. Wm. Ballard, an officer of Marlborough-street, went with a warrant on Saturday, the 29th of April, to the proseeutrix's house. Saw the prisoner. and told her he had come for the money she had taken out of a jar belonging to Mrs liund. She said she had nei ther taken any money, nor seen any. lle then told her he had a war rant to take her into custody, and should search her. Site then said, •' do you mean that little old purse ?" and upon being answered in the affirmative, she pulled out a leather purse, saying that that, pointing to a guinea in it, had fallen out, and that she had intended to return it, and denied any knowledge of more. The witness next proceeded to search the contents of the box of the prisoner, who again inquired whether they meant that little old net purse. The purse, which was identified by Mrs. Bund, was in the prisoner's box, but he found nothing in it. There were two half-sovereigns in the box, as well as eleven shillings in silver, which she stated were given to her by her husband. During this time the husband came in, and witness told him that he had taken his wife into I custody upon a charge of stealing money, and that, as the whole of the money was not found, he should search him. Upon en deavouring to put his hand into the left hand breeches pocket, the husband made some resistance. However, upon taking out what was there, he found a new crown, which he said lie had re ceived as wages; but witness saying he should show it to his master and inquire, he said it had been given to him by his wife. Witness then took diem to the watch-house. On the Monday morning, when witness went to take her to the office, the prisoner offered, if witness would let her go, to tell all about it. Witness of course refused ; but she, however, went on with her account. She then acknowledged having token the whole of the money on Saturday out of the jar; ;hut she had purchased a gold seal in Leicester-square with one guinea, and changed another in Sydney's-alley, for a brooch. Some of the silver she confessed having given to her husband. Witness used no means to induce her to give this confession. The prisoner received an excellent character from two witnesses, who had known her four years. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, accompanying it with a strong recommendation of mercy. NEW COURT. Yesterday G. Juldtrom was indicted for stealing a silk hard. kerchief, value 2s. from the person of Jane Carlton, a child under ten years of age. The evidence showed that the child, whose father is coachman to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, was inveigled frttm her play. mates by the prisoner, and taken into a dark Passage near the Treasury, where he had taken the handkerchief off her when disco vered by wine of the neighbours, who had laudably gone in pursuit of her. • fie was convicted ; and it was intimated to him by Sergeant A WABIN, who tried him, that he might expect to be transported f or life. Messrs. Broadwood and Son, Great Pulteney-street, Golden-square, piano -forte makers, have, in addition to subscribing to the general fund for the relief of the Spital fields weavers, given orders for 900 yards of rich silk, the labour of which will give to the weavers' families 1,400 quarter') loaves. It is with regret we announce that Mr. Coles, a highly respectable paper-maker at IVookey, near IVells, put a period to his existence on Wednesday last, by hanging him self. The mills of this gentleman had been for some time stopped, in consequence of disputes with the workmen; and though his property was extensive, it is supposed that the anxiety attendant on this circumstance, in connexion with the peculiar features of the times, led to a temporary derangement, during which the fatal act was committed.— Tuaregs Courier.

CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION. The following observations were made during a debate on the Catholic Association last week :- 1 Mr. O'CoNwEr. t. said, that if a discussion would be the means of depriving a single Englishman of • beef-steak or a pot of ale, then, and not till then, might Mr. Dwyer talk to us about generosity. The people of this country, governed as they are, he was sorry to say it, have a positive interest in the misfortunes of England. AVheti, therefore, she was in distres , , that was the time for them to send forward their petition for redre's. ' The CHAIRMAN, in putting the question of adjournment, said, he was ready always to lament the misfortunes of his fellow-man, but he was ready to avow that he did rejoice in the national cala mities of England—(murmur)—because the Catholics of Ireland had an interest in their depression. He again avowed, that he was delighted in the national calamities of England—(loud mur murs)—because it was always in such times that Ireland received any thing from her. At a Catholic Meeting, held at the Corn Exchange Hotel, Dublin, on Monday last, Mr. O'Connell (in opposition to the opinion of Lord Killeen, who thought the advice of the friends to Emancipation in Parliament should be attended tor, carried • reso. lution, to be submitted to the Aggregate Meeting the next day, appointing • Committee, to whom the care of their petition should be entrusted for fourteen days, and who would be instructed to procure a discussion, " if possible or practicable," during the present Session. The sequel of the debate was amusing. Mr. A. BROWNE was of opinion that they ought to return thanks to Cobbett, " the greatest public writer since the days of Swift." (Cheers.) Mr. BRIE was determined to oppose thanks to a man "who had abused the best advocates of the Catholic Claims." Mr. O'CoNNELL—"And I will support it." (Laughter and cheers.) This pleasant proposal the CHAIRMAN pledged himself to bring forward. 0. which announcement, Mr. O'Cowawr.r. expressed a doubt if it would he quite prudent to introduce it at the Aggregate Meeting ; but at all events he was pledged to support it. MRS. IVILMOT, " ON CUMBERLAND." [From the OM rier.l A strangely written pamphlet, called A Memoir of John 7'hos. Serm—the gentleman who was husband to the fat lady that lived at the stocking-shop at the corner of Fleet-market, and called her self " Princess of Cumberland"—has just been published. Poor Mr.Serres, who in his latter days was a scene-painter, seems to have had a touch of eccentricity as well as his spouse: tor, just be. fore he died ( which was some three months ago), he thought it ne emery to publish a very long solemn will, " disinheriting" his wife and daughter; although he must have been aware that the mulcted parties would escape this fulmination. from the circum. stance of his whole earthly possessions not being sufficient to pay the fees upon proving the document. The lady " Olive" is de scribed as the daughter of a house-painter in Warwickshire, and as a wotnan uniformly of the most mad as well as abandoned chit racier ; but no light is thrown upon the circumstances which first suggested the idea of her becoming a Princess. The only laugh. able matter in the book is the following letter, addressed, or said to have been addressed, by her " Highness" to Mr. Sheriff Par kins. It was found, according to the biographer, among Mr. Serves' papers after his decease ; and is supposed—miaow:to lade fides—to hays come there by being returned by the Sheri ff himself ! " My dear feel that I am outstepping the usual bounds of female delicacy by thus opening my heart to a stranger; for such I am to you , although your personal qualifications and superior mind presents your beloved image cons antly to my enamoured senses. It is in vain, Sheriff, that I endeavour to surmount the affections I bear to you ; thus I throw myself on your honour, and feelings as a gentleman and a man of honour, convinced such a heart as yours will always hold sacred the confidence of a lady. Sheriff! how shall I tell you that I find it impossible to live any longer without you ? Virtue has hitherto been my chief observ ance, and I respect its precepts—but love, constant as the return of day, triumphs over me. Sheriff, meet me on Saturday, at the Gros. senor-gate, Park-lane. If you are inclined to profit by these semi ments, no obstacles shall prevent our mutual happiness; but be delicate, and spare me in the first and second Interview. Be mine, Sheriff, and the world will no longer interest a thought. " Be exactly at three o'clock in Park-lane, and I will meet you. M y parasol is blue, with a white edge; that will direct your atten tion. Commit this to the flames the moment you receive it, and recollect, dear Sheriff, my honour, my happiness, and all my hopes are in your possession. " P.S. Ride to-morrow morning slowly round Bedford-squsre. and I shall know that this letter has reached you safe, which will occasion no further 'rouble until we meet on Saturday. " Thursday evening, iledford.square." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECOND SPRING MEETING. NEVINAREET, WIRDNISO•T MORT. The sport to-day was confined to three races, but such was their great excellence, that few regretted they were less numerous. The Heath was attended by most of the noblemen and gentlemen whose names we have before mentioned, and was honoured by the presence of his Royal Highness the Duke of York, who, we are happy to add, appeared to be in the best health and spirits. in the evening, his Royal High ness honoured Mr. Douglas with his company to dinner, at his apartments In the King's Palace, where also Mr. Douglas entertained Sir John Shel. ley, Col. Udny, and Mr. Wortley. The Jockey Club dinner was attended by Lord Jersey, Lord Anson, the Duke of Grafton, Colonel Aubrey, Messrs. Scott, Goddard, Ftamsbottom, Gioborne, Payne, Newton, Hunter, and other members. After dinner his Royal Highness, accompanied by Mr. Douglas and his party, visited the rooms.

Lord Anson's Nuredditt went off with the lead at a strong pace, till within • short distance of home, when Pigmy came up, and both let loose ; a des perate slashing struggle followed, and so closely was It run, that the Judge decided it to be a dead heat.

The betting this afternoon was confined to the three first favourites and a few of the outsider. for the Derby. and the match for 1,000 sort. to be decided at York on Monday next, between Dauntless and Cleveland, the latter receiving 7th. It turns out that Dauntless Is a roarer, and a. it notorious that "the ould horse" Is a confirmed one, a curious race may be expected. We have heard it rumoured that Bo.

On Thursday last a deputation of gentlemen from the town of Sheffield, consisting of Henry Moorehouse, Egg., the Master of the Cutlers Company, and William Sansom, the Senior Warden, attended by William Parker, Esq., were introduced by Lord Milton and Stuart Wortley, Esq. M.P., to his Royal Highness the Duke of York, a nd preytoted, on behalf of the Coe. poration, a splendid assortment of specimens of cutlery and Shef field ware, enclosed in an elegantly car te d b ox of heart of oak, emblazoned with the arms of the town and various emblematical devices. His Royal Highness received the Deputation with his usual condescension, and expressed himself highly gratified with the present, when he was reminded by Lord Milton that Sheffield work stands unrivalled in Europe or the world. The specimens are certainly proofs that they need only to be seen to be duly appre ciated, and that the manufacturers of Sheffield have no occasion to be under any alarm that the London sutlers will long deprive them of their fair share of business, and th a t t h e quackery of marking " London," on their knives will be tem avail, wham they are fairly brought into competition.
