l essa, 18, Captain P. D. MT. Nothing had oc. ' e rred lately among the Greeks and the Turks Ise-; yawl sanguinary combats between small p.trtiei it these ferocious enemies. The Greeks, by their mil l perior dexterity and trounce' knowledge. weretord4 paramount of the sear, but none of-their rencontres had been attended with any important result. The French had a squadron of five ships, tinder Admiral HALGAM (in the (:nerriere. razee 64), the Detch one frigate (the Diana). and the Auatrines one fiigate and a brig, under a Commodore, lying at Smyrna. Captain Ilaistvrou, of the British frigate Cambrian, gave an elegant ball and supper ;.r Smyrna, on the Ist of October, to Admiral Ilst.oatt, the Dutch and Austrian Commodorea, all the foreign Consuls and English residents, and merchants, on the occasion of our gracious lime* auspicious visit to his (Celina' 11.'s) native country, Ireland.

Hie Excellericy Gen. Sir T. MAITLAND intended to embark in the Rochefort, for Malta. The Racehorse spoke transpoits having the 90th regimeot on board, going into Lillie, whither they hod been suddenly ordered from Malts, in conse-, quence of the discovery of a dangerous spirit of commotion and revolt extensively among the Greeks . , in that island. The Seringapataaa frigate, Captain 5, WARRRN, C.B. ; and the sloops of war C'hanii deer, Captain EDEN. Dispatch, Captain JERVOISE, Larne, Captain R. Tarr, and Hedpole, Captain R. ANDERSON, were lying at Zinte. The Race horn bad a bad tempestuous passage of three weeks from Malta to Gibraltar, at which place, on the 26th ult. about fifty vessels were driven on shore upon the lines, seven of which were totally loot. The Independent Buenos-Ayrean frigate Heroine, commanded by Colonel MA SON, hod arrived there to refit, having live feet water in the hold. She had captured, due her cruise on the coast of Spain, a Spa nish man-of-war brig, and sent her to Buenos Ayres. A Portuguese frigate was cruising against the Algerian; the treaty having expired, the Portuguese have dared not to renew it, by with holding the customary tribute to the Dry.— The American frigate Constitution, Commo dore Jones, with the Ontario sloop of war in company, had left Gibraltar for Minorca. The Earl of CHATHAM had been in good health since he took the command of Gibraltar. General DON had removed to St. Roque. The Racehorse spoke iu the Bay of Biscay the Rayleigh, STAN NU, which left the Downs on the 7th ult. for Tobago. bat on the 28th, in lat. 45. long. 7. every thing was carried clear off the deck, except the stump of the mainmast—the bowsprit, foremast, main top mast, boat, &c. all went by the board. The Burkigh has since arrived at Plymouth. Lieut. WALLACI, R.N. ; Ensign JoHNITONE, 90th re giment; and Lieutenant PENOELLY, It.M. in valided from the Herolutionaire, came passengers in the Racehorse, with invalids from the squadron. The Racehorse is ordered to be paid off at Ply mouth. On Monday the Iliad .loop of war, Sir CH aaLti BuItRARD, Baronet, returned from New York. She arrived there on the 45th December, and sailed on the 2d January.—The sum recovered from Tweedie was 18,000 i. and this was effected by in. timidation. Within an hour and a half after the *Meal of the Hind, by the vigilance of the British Coniul, and the offer of 500 dollars to the Magis trates. Tweedie was traced to his lodgings, and the optioa offered him of either being sent on board the Hind or giving up the money ; he acted upon the latter, the amount being in bill.. On the follow ing day to that on which the money was restored, the American Judges .nid, that if they had been consulted, they would have contended against the right of exacting the money from him in that couu ay : the Government would not permit his person to be given up. The Iliad is come into Ports mouth harbour. The anniversary of Mr. Fox's birth-day was ce lebrated at Norfolk on Thursday last by a public dinner. The assembly of Whigs on this interesting occasion presented • most gratifying display of rank, integrity, and talent ; it is therefore with sinceie pleasure that we refer our readers to the ac count of the proceedings, which will be found in un. other part of this Paper. Many of the topics which have so much occupied the attention of ull the pub lic meetings recently held in various parts of the country were again discussed at the Norfolk din- Ter. The distress of the agriculturisia was la mented as a 'natter upon which no difference of opi nion could be entertained, and it was as unani muu►ly admitted that nothing but retrenchment in til e public expenditure, and an immediate reduction in the taxes, could save the lauded interests from ruin. The assembly was honoured by the presence of the Duke of Susasi, to whose admirable and c onstitutional speech we refer our readies with a mixture of pride and gratitude. The illustrious nuke warmly exhorted the meeting to resist every '/tempt th a t might be made to impose an Income Tax upon the country. A detachment of the 77th regiment or foot ar rived at Stirling on Thursday.

THEATRES. OPERA-HOUSE. This house was, extremely brilliant on Sauurday night. The boxes were tilled with beauty ; the ladies never appeared more elegantly dressed. In the pit, which was crowded to inconvenience, were many Noblemen end Gentlemen of distinction ; Lord Easaims was amongst the number, and seemed to be iu good health and spirits. The new opera was repeated, and went off -very well. DRURT-LA NE. The tragedy of Othello was represented at this theatre on Saturday night, Mr. KEAN playing /ago, according to the announcement in the'bills, for the last time. This determination must excite the last big-regret of every . aimirer of true dramatic genius. who has tier witnessed the inimitable portraiture of the cool, calculating. intriguing, deliberate villain, by his masterly hand. He seemed to be in parti cular good spirits on Saturday, and the air of care less gaiety and jovial companionship with which lie covered his real nature in his scenes with Roderigo ; the smooth and plausible weruing of honesty, with which he masked his wily schemes when work ing upon the noble and open.hesrted Moor ; and the tremendoui occasional bursting forth of the de moniac prisious that raged within his bottom iti sums of his soliloquies, were given in his best and hap piest style, sod elicited continued peals of an. plaose from a highly-gratified and numerous au dience. Mr: COOPER was the Othello, and gained considerable approbation. Mrs. W. Wsre• Des desiona was an enchantingly chaste and interesting performance; sod Mrs. EGERTON displayed her wonted energy and dtscrininistion in marking- the distinctive traits of the character of t me/ia. The interesting opera of Paul and Virginia was revived for the afterpiece, aud seemed to afford more gratification than any piece of is kind which has for a long time been brought forward. It was strongly and moat effectively cast, and the exertions of all the performers were fairly and happily put forward. The beautiful music of the piece was charmingly sung ; the choruses and concerted pieces in particular were delightfully executed ; and the sweet duet, " See, from ocean rising," was perhaps never heard to greater advsistege. It was rap turously encored, as were several of the songs. COYENT-OARDIIII. The play of The Tempest was revived on Satyr. day night ■t this theatre. Misr M. TREK resumed her favourite part of Arid. The singi•g was beau tiful, particularly the " !tcho Duet," which was exe cuted by Mira STEPH6NS •nd Miss liALLANDS, •nd loudly d. The house was crowded with • moat elegant audience. Yesterday divine service was performed to the King's Household •t his Majesty's Palace in Pall 1/1311, by the Rev. F. W. BLomsego. The Duke of Yogi arrived in town on Satin. day. Yesterday bis Royal Highness attended di vine service at the Chapel Royal, and heard a ser motiby the Rev. Mr. BURRAII.9. The Prince..

His Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE Was expected to arrive vesterd.v at Portsmouth to dune wish Admiral Sir JAMES WHITSHED, K.C.B. His Royal Highness's visit is underaioud to he to take leave of his son, Lieut. ADOLPHUS FITZ. CLARENCE, who is about to sail fur the Mediter ranean station in the burs/alas. On Monday last hie Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex accompanied by his sou Captain D'Emrs. the Earl of ALBEMARLE, Captain GORE, T. W. CORE. Esq. the 1101). EDWARD KEPpEL, Lady ANSON. wild the Ladies KEPPEL, partook of a cold collation with Mr. and Miss ilLood, at Wells. His Royal Highness may have received more splendid masks of respect, but • more sin. cere welcome he never did. • The bells rang, the royul standard greeted the Royal visitor, and every vessel its ihe harbour assumed its gayest attire. As a proof of the high esteem of the Royal guest for his omisble hostess. he presented Muss BLOOM with a portrait of himself. The Duke of MONTROIR has issued cards of in vitation for two parties on Wecluesday and Thurs day next, at his house in Grosvenor square.

He has not time for the speculatious of wooden wits, sod must lose is the labour of reading thumb more of the benefits of [metal exercise than theirsealleted crumbs of intelligence can repay. One defect in the cattail. lion, which is attributable to the exhibitors wholly and not to the management, is the great °ember of paintings which have been shewn is the spring exhibition of the Royal Academy. There is something of unfair ploy in this. There are et least a dose, large paintings which have been so es bibited. Mnat of theia occupy good lights, have already been wet) spoken of, and are the works of highlpireputed artists, who might, in conscience and without any loss in fame or profit, care made way for some of the rejected works of candidates less known. The managers, of course, are not bound to charge an elitist with having exhibited a good painting elsewhere before bringing it here; but the ;mutters themselves ought to hare a higher feeliag *lmo to shut out competition, by repeated exhibitions of their own works iu an establishineut intended fur the display of new pieces alone. Among the most inecessfal performances are those of EDWIN LANDITIR. No. 94. The Larder Invaded, and lit The IValehfal Sentinel, shear tile full fruitiou of his talent in painting animals with the guest precision of pen ciling and colour, and with all the variety of spirit and ex. pressioo of which the heads of cats and dogs are capable.— In the latter there is something about the air of the dog (his fore paw being laid on some of the baggage iu the inn yard while the horses are changing), which approaches near to the saucy dignity of a coach-office clerk lately pot in confi dential employment. His dogs have ao extraordinary air oj amenity and cotiveriational capacity about them. blo. 93.—Meg Marrilfee. The late E. BIRD —A small picture, possessing his rich and deep sobriety of colour, with an air of rural mystery in the setae, in flue hationny with the subject. No. 109.— e Vint of London, from Somerset-korai Stair.. T. C. HOISLAND.—A still and tranquil piece, with an effect of summer light and warmth; of good drawing, and a pleas ing tone of colour, except that the aunabioe has caught rather too deep a tinge from the reflection of the surrounding brick-work, and the water is too white. The picture *ems to be very fresh, and these defects will abate with time. Nu. 206.—{isms on the Tkaneee, looking to Waterloo. bridge. C. DISANB.—Tbia is an accidental piece of rivalry in respect to the last-eased picture, of a penciling not quite so bold nod happy, but of more correct colouring. This gentleman goes on realizing the hopes eatertaioed of him from the first. His views our and sear Wiudsor last year, are far outstripped ►y ►is improvement in 440.—Prindror Castle, frees Eton, which has deep woody colouring, breadth of shade, an atmospheric sky, and fine water, with good distances, merged in aerial perspective. No. 43.—Diogroas of Me halite of Waterloo, GEORGE Jon b, 17 feet and a lila by 9 feet and a half —This is the impel and most impoi taut historical work in the Exhibition. The cluefmerit lies io the hist°. ical and topographical truth of the description. The foreground is somewhat too bare. It represents a swamp thinly occupied. The first fignres in hunt are not worthily engaged, considering the business that lies before them. They are flaunting in all the isantoooese of youth, freshness, and military finery. Their faces are of deep vermilion—their horses prance as if full of rest and fodder. They look like any thing rather than English troops twenty hours on the field. The middle ground atones for these faults of specious description. The battle is the centre is led up with sublane horror. The point of contact is obscured by a cloud of smoke, but the retreat and coati lion of the foe thus obscured, is related by the onward peloosity of the British line. The life-guards are preparing to charge against the rally of Marshal NET on the left. The effect is abat of composed and appalling resolution, predicative of extensive havoc and horror. There are other details, such as the arrival of the Prussians, the points of observation and attack on the part of the french, which are all given with corresponding accuracy. As a dia- gram, the description of the ground, with the operations of the battle, and the relative distances of the ob jeetr, this correctness is desirable. If the intention of the artist bad been to paiut what is generally understood by a battle picture, these delineations would have been too cor rect to suit the sublime of his subject. No. 65. —The Entbawhistelsl. .1. F. Eu.u. A piece of fine gra-colouring, with a bold and fluent surge, upon which • ship, gallantly raged, rides with daring buoyancy. The castle and quay bare an air of strength and repose which coot r finely with the disturbed swuio• or the waters.— There is a depth and sobriety in the shadows and colouring in very fine accordance with the subject. No. 198.—Fiaherlsen howeroardlmend. J. F. ELLE, She's, connecting it with the last, great versatility In the same (the marine) class of subjects. This is a still and snotty Pea, with a water sod sky of genial warmth, in the style of VANDER CAPULLA, though not so strictly coloured. The piece is not so well finished u this last-named. - . No. 79. Celsbrahom of the Coronaticm at Newcastle -wpm'. Tyne. H. P. PAlSea.—This is an txcellest mob piece. The scene is Sandhill, and the main actioo is the distribution of wine through the point in the centre. The tumult is power fully described. There is the wavy fluctuation of au im meuse multitude reeling from its aggregate impulse, while the skirts of the crowd are fringed with episodical groopes, indulging their vulgar riot in strange varieties of character and action. The piece is said to have a great many peer liarities in the characters of merely local interest. 1 he ge. neral effect, however, is very happy, and she's that the author would do well to choose subjects which are more ge. nerally engaging. There is a great deal of the satirical die_ cernmeut of tioariaws in the conduct of the piece. The colours are, upon the whole, a little too glowing for the moral meanness of the subject, but the implied capabilities of the painter are considerable.

As was seaseeive before, there is • general ad meat to this brooch of RP art. The works of these artists comprise the main good characteristics, which are, colours of a more distiect and simple kind that" those heretofore prevalent, not only io better agreement with nature, but brought into harmony with each other by the labour of tint, instead of the old and bad method of fusing dont in some geni rill nod vicious hue of red, purple, or yellow, to save trouble to the artist.

The Havannuh packet has brought letters from Hievannsh to the 13th December, and from Vera Cruz to the 17th November. They assert that the division of the Imperial army of Mexico had suf fered so much from the yellow fever, and by deser tions caused by the dread of the fever, that only 100 invalids were left in the town. In consequence of this, Governor DAYILLA, who had retired to the Castle of San Joao, in the harbour, on the approach of the Imperialists, wrote to tlit Governor of Ha vannah that lie was about to leave the fortress, and take possession of the city of Vera Cruz. A letter front Havamish, dated December 10, says :—" On the 30th of November we had a ter- rible deluge.
