CANTERBURY, JULY s.—Last week an order of affiliation was made in this city, on a Clergyman of the Established Church, for two bastard children. The Rev. Gentleman now resides about three miles from this city. The girl, whose name 19 SARAH LINTON, has had three children, two of which are living, and she has been in the habit of receiving from this pious Clergyman, for the maintenance of herself and children, ss. per week. On this small pittance being kept from her, she was under the necessity of swearing the children, and the Magistrates of Canterbury ordered him to pay the unfortunate mother 4s. per week for the two children, thus giving a saving of Is. per week to the Clergyman. Neither party has yet seen 25 years. There are a number of letters written by the gentleman handing about. Several respectable families are forwarding a subscription for the children, who are much in want of clothing.—. Kent and Essex Mercury. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 13, 1829.

GERMAN PAPERS. lIAmEm, JULY 3.—The Batavia Journals, from the sth to the 21st of February, do not contain any reports respecting the war with the Javanese insurgents ; but pri vate' accounts from Djncjocarta, of the Ist of February, contain the following important intelligence :—After the fortunate capture of the notorious Kiai Modjo, with his sons, brothers, and a number of priests, the Commis sioner-General thought of making use of this person, who Possesses so much influence, for the commencement of negociations, in order to bring about a peace, which is so much desired. After mature deliberation and many con ferendes, between Kiai Modjo and one of the most confi dential officers, it was resolved that the first, as the spi ritual adviser of Diepo Negoro, should write him a letter, to the effect that the Government of the Netherlands was very far from desiring to oppress the Mahometan faith, but rather disposed to protect it; that the war in its de fence was an unlaWful contest ; and that the Kiai Modjo as a faithful counsellor, expected him to make peace.—' Two confidential priests, accompanied by Capt. Roeps, were sent with the letter. Ali Bassa, commander of the insurgents, assured them in his master's name, that the latter sincerely wished for peace, and desired to speak to Colonel Nahuys, Commissioner of the Netherlands, at Djoejocarta, for that purpose. The Colonel upon this went to the advanced posts on the Progn, intending to prtlceed to the enemy, he advanced without any distrust, as be had alWayti treated the natives well. Some circum stances, however, exciting his suspicion, he resolved to re main on the east of the Progo, and wrote to Ali Bassa that he wished to see him on that side of the river, and de•. sired him to state how many attendants he would bring with him, that he might not bring a greater number. The enemy then threw off the mask, deferring under idle pretexts the interview with the Colonel, and unjustly arresting Captain Roeps, threatening to cut off his head, because our troops had committed some hostilities, which werehowever necessary, because the enemy with armed bands from all quarters passed through our lines, and molested and plundered the faithful islanders. A stratagem which was justified by this treacherous conduct saved Capt. Roeps from a cruel death, without affecting our military operations. Col. Nahuys wrote to Ali Blssa that he would come to his camp the next day, if he, considering the respect due to a Commissioner, would send two principal Chiefs to meet him, with a written promise not to detain him above twelve hours. Ali Bassa was ready to agree to this, but Diepo Negoro would not let the Captain go, so that the two Chiefs came alone to our outposts, when they were imme diately arrested, and told by the Colonel that he was going to their camp, but that they were hostages, and he should leave orders to have them put to death and quartered if he should be detained longer than twelve hours. In consequence of this threat one of the Deputies confessed that it was the intention of Ali Bassa to arrest the Colonel, in order to compel the Government to agree to the exorbitant de mands of the insurgents. One of the Deputies was re quired to write a letter, saying that the Colonel would im mediately come for him, in consequence of which that brave officer was sent back the next day. Thus ended this unpleasant affair. It must be observed that such per fidy is not natural to the Javanese, and is probably a con sequence of the distressed situation in which the insur gents now are. After the failure of this plan, Diepo Negoro showed himself disposed to answer Kiai llodjo's letter, but the Colonel having signified to Ali Ilassa, that on account of the breaking of the armistice, and the unjust detention of Captain Roeps, he was ordered not to negociate with the rebels, and that therefore the deputies of the priest might be sent back, the latter came to the camp the next day, and charged with a letter from the chief of the insurgents to Kiai Modjo, proceeded to Batavia with Captain Roeps. BATTLE OF NAVARIN. CHARGE AGAINST CAPTAIN DICKENSON, C.B. Our recollections of the battle of Navarin are likely to be revived, by such means as are least ac ceptable to us, namely, by an inquiry, at this distant period, into the conduct of Captain Dickenson, C. 8., on whom, it will be remembered, devolved the com mand of the Genoa, 74, upon Captain Bathurst's receiving a mortal wound. We are aware that Captain Dickenson was included in the public thanks to the fleet—that the Order of a Companion of the Bath was bestowed on him—that he received honorary distinctions from the Emperor of Russia and the King of France, with permission to wear them ; and that no question was at that time raised touching the behaviour of the Genoa. Upon Cap tain Dickenson's return in the Wasp - sloop of war to the Mediterranean, after having brought to Eng-, land the Genoa, Sir Edward Codrington sent him a second Russian Order, that of t. %Vladimir, and which, en his return to England, he asked permission of the Admiralty to wear; to obtain the approval of which a certificate was required from Sir Edward. This the Admiral has declined, alleging, as a reason for it, that he was not satisfied with the conduct of Captain Dickenson. The :Admiralty, on this inti mation, instructed Sir Edward to shape his accusa don against Captain Dickenson, and called upon the latter Officer to prepare for a defence of himself in a Court Martial, for which he is here waiting, and. for which an order is now in the hands of the Com mander in Chief, Admiral the Honourable Sir Robert Stopford, who is to preside at it. We are not well versed in naval law, but we were under the impression that the period elapsed since the transaction for which this officer is to be arraigned would exceed the limits within which, by the arti• des of war, any complaints would be cognizable, and we now hear that Sir Edward Codrington re fuses to prosecute. Though the charges do not implicate Captain Dickenson's personal courage, and refer only, as we learn, to the loss of mizenmast for want of proper care—to the time the Genoa was preparing for sea after the action—to an irregu larity in reporting Captain Bathurst dead, when mortally wounded only—and to not having, in the Admiral's estimation, hove sufficiently upon the spring on the Genoa's cable during the action; yet we lament that the proceeding which has been taken should have wounded the feelings of an officer whose gallantry on that occasion no one can call in question. MURDER AT WOOLVERCOTT: (From the Oxford Herald.) On Nlonday an inquest - was held at the Radcliffe Infirmary, before Mr. CECIL, Coroner, on view of the body of John Barrett, a youth of abont 16 years of age. Many witnesses were examined, and the case occupied upwards of twelve hours. The unanimous verdict of the jury was " Wilful Murder" against Thomas Beesley, William Newman, and Thomas Medden. The particulars of this murder are as follows :—ln the afternoon of Friday se'nnight Thomas Beesley, William Newman, Thomas Med den, Thomas Cooper, and another man at present unknown, were seen by William Robinson and Wil liam Eeley, jun. of Woolvercott, near this city, in the act of chasing and pelting ducks, which were feeding on Port Meadow, and which belonged to poor persons of the above-mentioned village. They also saw Beesley take up a duck and put it into his pocket. This behaviour of the five men induced Robinson and Eeley to point out to them the im propriety of their conduct. The five men imme diately attacked Robinson and Eeley, repeatedly struck and kicked them, and at length drove them into the village. The five men then went to a public•ltouse in Lower Woolvercott, where they remained some time. Thence they proceeded to Ball's public-house in Upper Woolvercott. In the mean time Robinson and y oung Eeley went to the house of Mr. Williams, a farmer of Woolvercott, informed him of the ill usage they had experienced, and intimated their suspicions that the men would return to the meadow and kill more of the ducks and geese. Mr. Williams, who, on all occasions of this nature, exerts himself to protect the property of the cottagers, immediately expressed his determination to prevent further de predations, or, should they be repeated, endeavour to take the men into custody. For this purpose he went towards Port Meadow on horseback, with three of his men, viz. Eeley, sen., Gilkes, and Lines, accompanied by Robinson and Eeley, jun. When they were within a furlong of Ball's public-house, they saw Beesley, Netvman, Madden, and Cooper come out of it, and go to the bridge over the canal, where they stood still. When they saw Mr. Williams and the five men coming towards them, Beesley, Newman, and Medden, left the bridge, and advanced to meet them, and attacked Mr. Williams's three men, and Robinson and Eeley, jun., in the most furious manlier. A severe contest took place, in the course of which Robinson succeeded in getting one of the attacking party on the ground, and was endeavouring to secure him, when Beesley snatched a bludgeon from a boy, who was on the spot, and struck Robinson a violent blow on the back part of the head with it. Robinson immediately fell senseless to the ground, and was carried away in that state. At this time Mr. Williams was close to the combatants, imploring them to desist from their violence. Several other persons from Woolvercoot were now drawn to the spot, and amongst them was the deceased, John Barrett, who was standing looking at the fray, his back turned towards Beesley, who was several yards from him. Mr. Williams saw Beesley suddenly rush towards the boy and strike him a furious blow on the head with a bludgeon, which felled him to the ground, where he lay, motionless and senseless, until he was carried to his home. He and Robinson were the same evening conveyed to the Radcliffe Infirmary. Barrett never once spoke after he re ceived the blow, and died at one o'clock on Sunday morning. Robinson is in a state of convalescence, It appears that Cooper remained on the bridge, and was not at all engaged in the last fatal fray. The fifth man was not seen after the attack on the ducks. Beesley, Newman, Medden, and Cooper, were at length apprehended, and give❑ into the custody of the Woolvercott constable. In Conveying then to the county gaol Beesley and Newman contrived to escape. Medden was on Saturday committed for the assault and riot, and Cooper was bailed. After the verdict of " Wilful murder" against Beesley, Newman, and Medden, the Coroner lodged a de tainer against Medden ; and a reward of 50/, has been offered for the apprehension of the othe4. two. When our Paper went to press no tidings of Beesley and Newman had been. received, Since writing the above we have learned that Beesley and Newman would have been taken at Kennington, had not a man of the name of Tubb rowed them over the Isis in a punt. We hope this fellow will be punished for his conduct, as the two constable told him they were in pursuit of the men. A Divine, tso,us to change his cure, men tioned ;,be circumstance from the pulpit. At the conch', sion of the service an old negro addressed him, and, after lamenting his intended removal, asked him the occasion of it. The Parson replied " that he had a Divine call." The negro, snspeeting there was some more substantial reason for th e change than the one assigned, inquired, aid learned that the priest gave up a li% ing- of 2001. a year for one double that sum ; on which he exclaimed, " Massa ! if God had called you till he was blind £ro►u 4001. to 2001. you no go, 111455 a."

On the 26th, to the satisfaction of many, and to the great surprise of others, was announced the arrival at Bujukdere, of a 48-gun Russian frigate, that was captured by the Capitan Pacha, in the vicinity of Senop, without even firing a gun, as, to the great shame of her Commander, she struck at the very sight of the Turkish colours. The Grand "Seignior two days after went on board, and admired her extremely, she being the handsomest frigate in the Russian service, and only 12 months old. She was called the Ruhel ; when the Sultan went on board he gave her the name Allaverdy, or the gift of God. The Captain, officers, and crew, consisting of 365 men, are all sent into the arsenal for the present, but I believe they will be ordered to Schalki, one of the Princes Islands, to join their fellow-countrymen, consist ing only of about 600 men, an epidemic fever having carried off in the course of a few months no less than 800 of them. The fleet, much damaged, returned to Bujukdere on the 29th, having on the 27th of that month, met, and en gaged a division of the Russian one. It appears, however, that the Turkish gunpowder was found damp, and made no impression on their enemy, and therefore the Capitan Pacha prudently availed himself of the northerly winds, that fortunately prevailed, to limit himself merely to a run• ning fight, and thus save his whole fleet. On his arrival at Bujukdere he sent in his resigna tion, which was not received, but a strong and energetic investigation was ordered, regarding this suspected high treason ; and on the 6th inst., a Turkish Grandee was taken up, and on the next day was decapitated at Bob Jumahy, the gate of the Imperial Palace, a place where only criminals for high treason are executed, and therefore every body is of opinion, the nature of his crime not having transpired, that he was one of those concerned in the gunpowder plot. The Turkish fleet, after refitting and taking fresh supplies of gunpowder, started again on the 6th inst. for the Black Sea, under the orders of the same Capitan Pacha, and every body's attention is again engaged in the approaching event of the two fleets meeting. P.S. I am informed that the Turkish fleet sent in to Demus Derry a large armed steam vessel, mounting, as I am told, 24 guns, which was sent to watch the motions of the said fleet. The fleet, as it appears, kept on towards the gulph of Feros, Bergos, and iVlioservia, therefore in the course of a few days we may hear the re sult of their visit to those ports. A duel was fought between two of the officers of the sth Dragoon Guards, Capt. R—L and Capt. H- 7 —y, behind the Canterbury barracks,. on Sunday morning, at eight o'clock. [laving receieved Capt. R.'s ball, Capt. 11. fired in the air, and the parties left the ground.—Kentish Gazette. TURKISH STANDARDS.—The great standard, won by the King of POLAND from the Infidels in 1683, at the affair of Kalemberg, is about eight feet in breadth, a green and crimson stuff, of silk and golden tissue mixed, with a device in Arabesque characters, which may be thus translated. " There is no other God but God, and Mo. ISAMET is his prophet." At the four corners of this standard are also written the names of Austiguga and Omart, who were two successors of MODAMET. The ball on the top of the staff (about the size of a man's joined fists) is of brass gilt. This standard was sent by the King of POLAND to the Pope, who has suspended it from the roof of St. Peter's, by the side of another standard taken from the Infidels at the battle of Chotzeu some years ago. The banner named by the Turks " Basarac," is carefully preserved in the seraglio, in a case built into the wall on the right-hand side as you enter the chamber, in which is the GRAND SEIGNIOR'S summer bed ; the Turics believe that this standard was sent from Heaven to Mario :lll7, when making war on the Giaours, or Christian Princes, as an infallible pledge of victory.— United Service ihurnal. PRICE 7D. ACCELERATION OF THE MAIL. Lord ROSEBERY, in proposing that the Lord Advocate and Sir George Clerk be added to the Conullittee already appointed on the sub ject of the acceleration of the London mail, and the improvement of the roads, took that oppor tunity of stating, that he had seen letters frail different individuals in the south, who 1,1 formerly opposed the measure, which showed that the opposition of the Duke of Northumber 7 land had been greatly lessened; that his Grace and others had proceeded on the mistaken no tion, that it was wished to do away. with the r ,nail by Ainwick and the coast road ; but upon their learning that no such intention existed, several of them had fully concurred in the appli cation ; so that many of those who were origi nally enemies now appeared in the character of friends. He (Lord Rosebery) had seen a letter f:om the Duke of Manchester on the subject of th e memorial, on which he would take the liberty to say, that there were great fallacies in his Grace's reasoning. The letter first made ceitain assertions, and then proceeded to reason upon these in a manner which might be very. justifi able, as coming from a servant of the Crown ; but which the Lords of the Treasur3, acting for the good of the community, he trusted, would not sanction, when they considered that the establishment of the mail coach system was for the public service, and not with a view to public revenue. The Duke of Manchester might have argued very properly as Post-Master-General, but not impartially as an individual, viewing the subject in all its bearings. The motion of Lord Rosebery was agreed to. AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE. The citizens of the United States residing in Paris, according to custom, celebrated the Anni versary of the Declaration of their Independence on the 4th instant. General Lafayette attended, and the company was presided over by Mr. Kirkland, of Howard College, Massachusets. After dinner the Declaration of Independence was read, and thirteen toasts drunk in compli ment to the original members of the United States. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of their illustrious friend, who had toiled, fought, and suffered in the day of their danger, and had afterwards become the witness of their prosperity. In his youth he supported the principle of self government among the American people, and fitty-three years of a happy experience prove its justice. " The health of their venerable guest, General Lafayette," was then given. The GENERAL, in returning thanks, stated the pleasure he felt in celebrating this Anniver sary, which enabled him, as it were, again to breathe the American atmosphere. He spoke with high gratification of their associating him with the principles for which he had struggled under the illustrious and well-beloved Washing ton. The independence of the United States began a new era of political civilization, which will finally extend over the whole world, and which is founded on the natural rights of man kind. He was proud to own that the first decla ration of those rights bore the indelible imprint of its American origin. He referred, in eloquent terms, to the delight with, which all generous minds had hailed the recent triumph in Great Britain over religious intolerance ; and earnestly advised the Americans, in consolidating their Constitution, not to listen to European sugges tions, nor admit any exotic materials. He con cluded by giving a toast to " National Legiti macy, which, while it choaked and destroyed the weeds of privilege, nourished the roots of natural social right." CROWN PROPERTY. The following letter relates to a subject of great pecuniary interest, and has been sent by Mr. D. W. Harvey to Lord Viscount Lowther:— " 7, Great George-street, June 6. "My Lord,—l address you as the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of his Majesty's Woods and Forests, to state that .1 have care fully perused the return recently made to Parlia ment of that portion of the Crown property of which the leases expire within the next seven years ; also the return of the presumed value of sonic parts of this property at the expiration of such leases ; and having made inquiry, and re ceived much information, both upon that which is not estimated, as also of that which is, I feel it my duty to apprize your Lordship that the estimated value is, in many cases, greatly, and in all considerably, below the real value. In deed, you must be aware that it is only by pub lic competition that the real value can be ascer tained or the country satisfied ; and as your Lordship is apprized of the notice I have given to bring the whole subject of the land revenue before Parliament early in the next session, with a view to its most productive appropriation, you will, I think, concur with me in the inexpediency of at present dealing with any of the property referred to. " Upon the examination of the leturn before noticed, I am struck with the insufficiency or the information it supplies, thus rendering it difficult, except at a great expense and much local inquiry, to ascertain the extent and value of many large and important estates. (( I will instance the following among many:— Granted to. Property. John 131agravt Attd Another. George Earl of Jersey. John Scott, Lord E4rdley.' 12171 0 3 " As my purpose in this communication is to promote the all-important object of economical reform, I shall, of course, consider myself at liberty to make such use of it, through the me (l44m.of the press or in Parliament, as may tend, in my opinion, to advance that design. " I have forborne to specify any pal t of the valuable ia propertyy4iy Noble l situated ards endttheandMembers of of the of which Parliament are lessees, as I am convinced your Lordship will sensibly feel the impropriety of pivate arrangements, which can be suspected to have had other inducements than public consi• derations.—l have the honour to be, may Lord, your Lordship's most obedient humble servant, " DANIEL W. lIARV.EI.
