GREEK DEPUI lES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRES& September, ifl Sta—The articles of biography whi c h you have lately published, respecting the Greek Deputies, must assuredly emanate from some hired pen, which records, not wh at the writer knows, but what those who employed it requi re , But it would have been well to have giv en a shadow o r ; semblance of truth to its statements by announcing to the public the source whence they were derived. It would have been well if the writer, instead of jour. neying to distant countries which he is unacquainted with, had said something of the history of th e gentlemen con cerned in a country nearer home. Had lie done this, the value of his facts might have been estimated; as it is, the object seems merely to outrage the feelings of on e o f the Deputies, by contrasting him with the others. That De puty might, if he pleased, deny formally the facts stated respecting him ; but he would prefer that, instead of a frivolous personal inquiry, you would invite him to give some account of the circumstances which have distinguished the public career of the Greek Deputies in this country. What have they done to save their native land ? flow have they employed the resources intrusted to them by British liberality? Do they deserve the applause or the censure of those who have advocated the cause of Greece? And have they obtained the good opinion —slay, rather a re they not the object of the universal execration—of the Greet people ? This would have served the cause ; and as it has bee s ea grievously injured by mismanagement, and by the w ants ( a popular and an e ffi cient control, so I believe the day is not tar distant when the mystery which hangs over certain transactions will be removed ; and then it will he seen how the dearest interests of Greece have been sacrificed; and some additional sympathy will be felt towards an innocent and unjustly-vituperated nation, when it is discovered that her misfortunes have not been the consequence of the vices imputed to her. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, IS, Air-street, Piccwilly. 0. SPANIOLACKI. DEATH OF LORD GIFFORD. We have to announce the death of Lord Gifford, Master of the Rolls. His Lordship had Buff. red severely from in. ternal inflammation, for two days before his death, whi c h took place at his house, on the Marine l'arade, Dover, about six o'clock on Alonday morning. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. old %~ Rosso, Atio.l7. Tta Pepe continues to make reforms In the organizsiimi of the state in spite of the obstacles he meets every where. It Is said that even well-intentioned but weak persons are endeavouring to pre. vent him from continuing the system ; but his Floliness ?ejects all advice that springs from timidity. We have mentioned the abuses which had crept into the administration of the Customs ; the Holy Father has dismissed all the offi:ers and soldiers attached to that department, and they are to be newly organized. He would not Joon to the Commission of Economy, which was opyoscd to all , strenchment. He has also sopptessed the Civic Militia, or rather Me own staff, which occasional considerable expense, and was of Po air. The Employes have been put on half.pay. The admini. aeration of ecclesiastical property has undergone the same fate; it hes been suppressed, and idled to the Finance Ministry. But the ;post important reform is that which threatens the Chamber of Revision, and above all Its Council, named roopahisieria. The atprente Reviser and right other functionaries have been dismissed, and the new Reviser has the power to select a few individuals from among the numerous employes who are to be dismissed. An edict is eapeeted whith will abolish the special licences for shouting acd tithing, which will be partuitted to every one, with some police rintrisdoos. The disputa of the Bishop of Fool, with the inhabitants of that Extract of a letter, dated Dover, September 4.—" This morning, about six o'clock, Lord Gifford, the Master of the Rolla, died at his Louse, on the Marine Parade. His Lordship had been here a b out ten days, and was much i'Alispored on his journey to Dover. An inflammation in the bowels took place on Saturday, which continued, in spite of every medical exertion to stop its progress, until this morning, when death put a period to his Lordship's severe sufferings." (EITIU;ZT OT ANOTIIII IMITATE LETTER.) " DOVER, SEYT. 4. "Died, this morning, at his residence, on the Marine Parade, Dover, the Right Honourable Baron Lord Gifford, Master of the Rolls. His Lordship arrived about a fort. night since from London, and felt indisposed on the even. ing of his arrival. Medical advice was resorted to, and it was feared that the nature of his complaint was cholera morbus, which, however, was got under ; hut fever ensued, and terminated the life of his Lordship at six o'clock. Hu Lordship was in his 48th year." (FURTHER ?A!TICUL .05.) His Lordship left town yesterday fortnight, and wu at that time labouring under a bilious attack, to which it iv understood he was constitutionally liable. In other respects his health was very good, and no serious apprehensions were excited till Saturday last, when symptoms of cholera morbus began to show themselves. On Sunday he became much worse, and notwithstanding the unremitting exec. tions of his medical attendant, Mr. Sankey, he died at a litle after six o'clock on Monday morning. Robert Lord Gifford, of St. Leonard's, in the county of Devon, was a native of Exeter. His father was a respect able tradesman, carrying on the grocery business in that city, and died, leaving a large fatally behind him. The subject of the present memoir being then very young, the brother of Lord Gifford carried on the business after the death of his father, and thus was enabled to protect and educate his brothers and sisters. The education of Lord Gifford was begun at the Grammar School of Exeter, under the learned but unfortunate Dr. Halloran, and from his earliest youth the law seems to have engaged the chief atten tion of Isis mind ; so much so, indeed, that even whilst yets schoolboy it was his habit, when the Judges in the course of their circuit came to Exeter, to take his seat in the Court, and remain there till the close of the day's business, and no during the continuance of the Assizes. Having finished his education, he entered on his legal career by being articled to an attorney of his native city, and, whilst in this comparatively adverse station, used to complain of the neglect he experienced from his kinsman and relation, the late Sir %%easy Gibbs. In the year 1800 he came to London, and tau at that time admitted a member of the Middle Temple, and studied in the office of Mr. Sykes, ire present Solicitor of the Stamp-office, who was then prac tising as a Special Pleadet. At this time his age was '2l. On the 12th February. 1808, he was called to the bar. From this time Sir Vicary Gibbs began to notice him, and it was to the patronage and steady affection of this great Lawyer that Lord Gifford owed his first elevation in the legal world; and his own abilities afterwards enabled him to advance his fortunes so far, that he became successively Solicitor and Attorney General, a Peer of the Realm, • Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, and finally Master of the Rolls, in which elevated station he has just clossd his mortal career. On the Bth May, 1817, he was appointed Solicitor-General, and in that capacity, on the IGEh May following, was elected Master of the Bench of the Society of which lie was a member. In consequence of his appointment to the office of Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, he was made a Sergeant on the 6 th June, 1824, and from thence was almost immediately advanced to be Master of the Rolls, in consequence of the death of the late Sir 'P. Minter, whom he succeeded, so that Lord Gifford has not held his office much above two years. Four and twenty years have served to raise this gentleman to the bight at honours of his profession, and his career, though short, seems to have been one of unexampled splendor. Lord Gifford was only 47 years old when he died, and it seldom falls to the let of any man to go through the important offices that he has done in the short period of twenty four years. A contemporary has asserted that Mr. Gifford was, within lifter n years, an attorney's clerk and Solicitor- General of England, which certainly was nrtibe ease, although it seems that between seventeen and eighteen years only elapsed between these two periods. Lord Of ford, as a lawyer, was never very highly esteemed, a Cu -1 cumstance which may be in a great measure attributed to his comrarative youth when appointed to the office of Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas ; but his perceptions were quick, and be displayed great skill in stating the facts of a case, and drawing them out to his hearers se clearly and plainly, that the feels were easily understood , however complicated they might be.

Their Majesties arrived on the Ilth at San Ildefunso here the enjoy the best health. There were yeaterday three executions in this capital. A man was hanged and a woman strangled, for robbery and murder another man was hanged for highway robbery. At the momen t that these executions were taking place, a panic fear, of which the cause is unknown, was spread among the spectators, and even among the troops that were present to keep order. The sabres were drawn, and the bayonet pointed ; and a pairmulle of the cavalry of the guard, arrested by some gendarme., very nearly occasioned bloodshed even among the soldiers. It does not, how. ever, appear that any accident occurred in consequence of this scene of disorder. This morning three prisoners, condemned to be whipped for having attempted to blow up by means of gunpowder a part of the prison wall, have been promenaded on asses' backs through the principal streets, and flogged. An edict of the police, published at the beginning of this month at Valencia, bears in substance that the combined efforts of the troops of the line and the Royal Volunteers not having succeeded in the destruction of a band of brigands who hover about the neigh bourhood of Alcira and Xativa, a reward of 2.11011 reals is pro sensed to the person who will deliver over the Chief, known under the name of El Clam (the cat). They write from Catalonia that the notary of the village of Al. cover, on coming back from a town, whether he had gone to defend some individuals prosecuted for their opinions, was massacred in the most barbarous manner by five individuals, armed with musket s and cutlasses. It may be remarked here that Catalonia, of all th e provinces of Spain, is that in which political passions have preserved tno reveteracy, no doubt because It hap; the most suffered during the civil war. Such is the irritation of mind which still prevails in the provinces, that several Colonels who were to have been seat out of Barcelona, and dispersed among anti-liberal villages, were shut up, at their own request, in the citadel, in order to escape the fury of the people. This measure restored calm to the agitated public mind. The Greek and Turkish fleets were In presence of each other on the 34 August, near Samos. The Hydriots hid at last sent forty vessels in aid of this island, which sent 200,000 piastres for the eupeisass of the armament. The Capitan Puha had not yet taken in the troops that were assembling on the Asiatic coast. Two Greek fire-ships were lost in two insignificant engagements. The vessel called the Amphitrite was pillaged in the Archipelago by pirate; and also two English ships, early in August, the crew of one of which was massacred (?) Admiral Paulucci, commanding the Austrian squadron, has stopped several vessels of Spezzia and Hydra, and set them at liberty, after having required the payment of a sum of money to reeve as in part ;indemnity for losses which the Greeks occasion to Austrian commerce. 31Eur7, Auo. 20. His Excellency Prince Mettemich arrived here the day before yesterday. We hear from England that 31. Jourdan, Doctor of Laws, died on die 27th August. at Deal, near DOwei, after a severe illness. Jourdan had received orders from M. de Serve to go to England vs study the system of Justices of the Peace, and was appointed Illetnlaer of a Commission charged with preparing a plan of a code rracedure for the French Colonies.

The heatilitles between the Carbonell of Foetus and the 'autho rities also continue ; the gates are closed at .onset, and those who svish at paas through them are obliged to give their onuses in writing. Of all the Cardinals, Cardinal Minim, General of the Capu chins, appears to enjoy most the confidence of his Holiness. The Giarnak Recirsiastiro has again attracted public notice. It had fallen to such decay that even the help of 400 scuilis from the Pope did not suffice to enable it to continue vegetating. The number of January appeared in July ; still his Holiness declared to the Editor that he was to keep it up at any rate, and in spite of all obstacles. The Cardinal Capillari has been charged with a new organisation of this undertaking; it will probably have a new title, owing to its being prohibited in France. The health of the Archbishop of Matinee (Abbe de Pradt) does not ameliorate, and fears arc entertained respecting him. Pasts, SEPT. 2 The Minister of War left Paris this morning at eleven o'clock] and is expected to arrive at St. Omer on the 7th, where he wil stop two days. On leaving St. Omer It is his intention to visit Dunkirk. During his stay at St. Onset, there are to be several reviews In an immense plain, about two leagues from tent city, on the road to Boulogne. The place is sufficiently capacious to contain an immense army, and offers several military positions which will be successively defended and attacked by the troops en camped there. The Abbe de la lllennais arrived at Bourdeaux on the 30th ultimo. The Count de Monllosier presided at the late sitting of the Academy of Clermont. 'From the Coesfitstrionnel.l Notwithstanding the assertions of the Ministerial journals, it is difficult to believe that die Foreign Ministers who are assembled at Johannisberg went there merely on a complimentary visit to M. de Metternich. Reflecting persons cannot lan to have remarked that these is a representative from almost every European power, with the exception of England. It will be remembered that the death of Lord Castlereagh wee the signal for the official renuncia. deo of the principles of the Holy Alliance by the Court of St. James's, and caused the almost total extinction of this unpopular confederacy; it has received a still more important check in the death of its chief, the Emperor Alexander. Time, and the events which It was the object of the Holy Alliance to arrest and retard, have timely added the finishing stroke to its destruction, and that unholy _fraternity.** dear to M. de 3letternich, is now , in fact , completely annihilated. Has M. Aletternich conceived some new plan with a view to re seseitate an alliance, which, after an existence of ten years only, fell into a premature old age ? Can England have a similar deingn ? and is this the reason that she alone, among all the great Powers, has declined sending an ambassador to Johannisberg ? Every day produces some event which gives the magistracy a froth claim to the confidence of the people. The Royal Court of Amiens last year refused to be present when the Missionaries preached ; but, by a deception worthy of the disciples of Escobar, advantage is taken of a ceremony. at which the Courts have the right to be present, to set intrignes on foot, which the authors dare rot openly sanction. The magistrate., however, though they will not unnecessarily bring these things to the notice of the public, will not suffer themselves to be deceived, and they know how to maintain their dignity and independence. On their return into Court, they entered onto an energetic protest against the miserab e subterfuge by which it was sought to cite the refusal in question a a precedent, and to construe their conduct into a retractation of the principles promulgated a year since. KEAN. Kean made his first appearance at Montreal on Monday last. We extract the following from a critique on his per- formance in the Montreal Herald : " Richard is said to be Mr. Kesn's principal character t and it is probable, for he has all the physical qualities adapted to the cha racter; short stature, aquiline profile, guttural tone, and dark eyes, set so prominently that every motion of them is conspicuous. But he has also all the intellectual requisites ; a generally perfect con ception of the character, distinct enunciation, most judivous em phasis, and an extremely skilful use of pauses—we were going more technically to say of the pause, but were deterred by the apprehen sion of wicked wits. His action, look, and gesture, were equally suitable; solemn, deliberate, and emphatic, or hasty, abrupt, and impetuous, as the occasion required. Above all, he has the power of modelling his features into a concentrated expression of sneering malice, the effect of which, if in real life, on the person to whom it were directed, might be perhaps illustrated by imagining the sensa tion produced by having a razor drawn over the flesh, and lemon juice sprinkled on the incision." What bathos !—The writer, after noticing several de fects, concludes with the following beautiful flight cif fancy:— " such instances, however, were, nevertheless, few as the spots on the sun ; while to quote his merits would be to allude tc, all the rest of his performance, from which, at short intervals, sprung up numerous pointed and singular beauties, like the tall apires of a Gothic building, or rather, perhaps, like rockets on a night of re joicing, sudden, soaring, explosive and radiant, each, however, brilliant, superseded by the novel attractions (tilts successor."

We are besides given to understand that the Executive Council of alexico was strongly W- I dined to lit out an expedition against Cuba, which had met with the concurrence of the Senate ; but the proposition was ►ejected by the popular branch of the Legislature.—Sonthers Patriot. A letter from Laguira of the 12th ult., received here via St. Thomas's. mentions that it was reported there that Bolivar had arrived at Bogota. The report was not fully confirmed, but Its truth was little doubted. We have made some inquiries concerning the Truth- Teller of the Elate, and the result is that it is not an Irish paper, as some of our contemporaries have supposed, but a London weekly journal, of which nobody ever heard till it succeeded in procuring an advertisement of its ex istence by one of the most extraordinary expedients we ever heard of. The Eluile continues its extracts from this notable production ; and if it were not for the awkwardness of retranslation, we should lay before our readers the ex tract which is inserted by the French journalist in his paper of the 4th inst. The lateness of the hour at which we received the Mode prevents us from attempting to pro cure a copy of the original; and as the Treilh.Telkr has probably its only circulation among the lowest classes of the Irish Catholics, we hardly think the article deserves any farther notice. The statements contained in it are evidently calculated fir intellects of the lowest order. We shall, however, notice the pretended facts as a matter of curiosity. The advocate of the gaoler, find ing that his adversaries were also assisted by a law yer, proposed that both parties should be left to them selves, without any legal assistance. His proposition was adopted; but the ecclesiastical agent of Dr. Mus ser was allowed to station a judicial agent in the adjoining room to interrogate the witnesses, and send a copy of the result, to guide the Commissioners when the same witnesses were again examined on oath. Next day the gaoler exerted all his influence to prevent this arrange ment from taking place, and he was successful in his en deavours; but finding, after all, that the witnesses were still unfavourable to him, he next objected to receiving the evi , donee of the prisoners. This objection, .however, was overruled by the Commissioners; and he next objected to the admission of short-hand writers, lest an incorrect account should be published: but the Solicitor, Mr* TOWNSEND, would not agree to that ; and the Marquis Wei.t.es Ley being consulted, the short-hand writer nployed by the Correspondent of the Truth-Teller con- . _ inued to take notes. The inquiry in this case was cc fined to the means used to make proselytes; but, even in that confined view, the accounts were frightful. Ten days after an order was sent from the Castle to investigate all the acts of cruelty and tyranny committed in the prison, without exception. The inquiry was adjourned, in conse quence of this, for three weeks. Some very extraordinary facts were then brought to light; the barbarous instru ments used for torturing the Catholics were then disco vered. The gaoler at first denied the existence of any such instruments, but the blacksmith who made them was at length discovered. This person exhibited the models by which he had made them, and declared on oath that he had rivettetl them on the heads of the prisoners, supposing that the Government authorized such mea sures. The Protestant Chaplain of the prison solemnly declared that these things had been done without his knowledge. He detested such a system, and paid many compliments to the virtues of Mr. O'Donovast, the Catholic Chaplain. He said he had seen the instrument alluded to, and did not think the heart of man had been sufficiently barbarous to invent such things. " What will the biblical. say," adds this most true of truth-tellers, " when they see, with their own eyes, the irrefragable proof that means so iniquitous and so barbarous have been employed to teach the beauties of Protestantism and the advantages of private interpretation ?" What will they say when they find that this biblical (the gaoler) has kept in solitary confinement, on bread and water, for five days, an individual whose only crime was his un willingness to believe that the Virgin Mary ever had any children besides our Saviour? Such is the abridged account of the proceedings of the Protestant inquisition, and really we are at a loss whether most to admire—the folly or the guilt of such calumnies. If a gaoler of Dublin is to blame, let him bear the blame; but who will believe that any thing in the shape of cruelty has arisen from the Pro ' I testant religion ? The Truth-Teller may change his name when he pleases: England will know him in future by a 1 different title from that in which he has made his debut. , P r . ," .tr ':: Tv,T'g j q ~~ ,i~~ MOVEMENTS.
