rived from the Archipelago, have stated that the greatest joy prevails in all the Greek Islands. News had been received that Colcontroni had gained a signal victory over the Turks, who were about to enter the Peloponnesus. The carnago was terrible, and the Turkish army may be looked on as annihilated ; on the other hand the Turkish fleet is in a situation of great embarrass ment, for the Greek_ fleet, numerous and well appointed, has taken its station at the entrance of the lonian sea, and cuts off the communication of the Captain Paella with the Dardanelles. — The Greek fleet is to remain in this ppsi- tion as much as possible, in order to pre vent the Turks from leaving the lonian sea, and going into the Archipelago. Favourable news has also been received from Caudia. The Creeks in that island amount to 34,000 fighting men, without including a number of countrymen, who act as - guerillas. The strong places are oc cupied by the Turks, but they have not been ,able so supply them with provisions. The plague commits great ravages among them, and they are closely blockaded. -A Greek squadron detached from the main fleet, has gone towards Alexandria, to watch the remains of the Egyptian fleet. The stoppage of trade is complained of throughout the Levant. CITY, Twelve o'clock.---Consols opened this morning at 83 for money, and 831 to for the account, with little doing.

No defaulter at present. PARIS, SEPT. 13.—We have heard a number of persons who bear the Royal cause a warm and rather jealous lOve (as all true and deep passions are), observe on some bold phrases of an accredited journal, to attribute to the Ministry an Intention and a conduct which would make it lose that confi dence of its first friends, of which alone the strength can support it. According to these suspicions, the French Government has stayed the march of victory on the ramparts of the Trneadero, to resume the thread hitherto broken of certain negotiations. In a word, the most brilliant, the most decisive event of the war has been made use of to treat with rebpllion, instead of being taken advantage of to crush it. Let thb Royalists not permit them selves to be influenced by terrors, which are exaggerated in their minds by the hesitations of men in power, which must easily be put to flight by the simple aspect of the nature of things. &nee the opening of the glorious campaign, under taken to deliver Ferdinand, and to re-establish the Monarchi cal principle in Europe, the soldiers of our young army have done too many wonders, and Royalist opinion has consequently made too great a ptogrs, etito render it possible that this happy movement can be stopped. From the day when the gun was fired on the Bidassoa, from the day when the white flag drove the last shreds of the tri-coloured flag to the columns of Her cules, the destinies of Monarchy have assumed so firm a pos ture, that this consideration alone should remove from the minds of good citizens the idea of all these negotiations which, on the least insinuation of a Gazette, is attributed to that Go vernment which only lives on their confidence, Qno iidienne.) The Lisbon Gazette of the 23d of August con tains the following account under the head o Madrid Lieutenant-General O'Donnel was to have entered Salamanca on the 12th of Aug. with 3,000 infantry and 300 cavalry, iutendino• to collect the troops which were there , at Le ! desma and at 'Alva do 'formes, and to proceed with the whole to Ciudad Rodrigo. But the Governor of that place having intercepted the correspondence of General O'Donnel with the Commandant of the Artillery and an engineer in the garrison, relative to the manner in which the fortress was to be delivered up, he ar rested the artillery officer, and sent him to Ba dajoz, and took measures for putting the place in the best state of defence possible. By the inter cepted correspondence, the Governor also learned that Colonel Farnezio, who was with the Ewe ' cinado, intended going over to the Royalist troops; in consequence of which he sent orders for the Colonel to repair immediately with the cavalry to Ciudad , Rodrigo; but Farnezio apprehending this, picked out the best cavalry, and set off for Salamanca, to join the Royalists there. The Em pecinado retreated upon Ciudad Rodrigo, and has his cavalry in the adjacent towns." The Duke of SAXE WEIMAR arrived in _town on Monday evening, and left town yesterday afternoon, on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, at Bushey. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER arrived at his residence in Downing-street, yesterday at twelve o'clock, from Rist, near Salsoe, in Bed fordshire. We have the satisfaction to state from au thority the most undoubted, that the ,14011. D CHANCELLOR is a great deal better ; and that his Lordship has been only slightly indisposed. The Gazette of last night contains a notice that application is intended to be made to Parliament in the next Session, for an Act to authorise the Corporation of London, to levy tolls upon all horses, carriages, and cattle passing ov tero r Blackfriars.bridge; and to borrow mone y , upon the di the said tolls, for the repairing and maintaining the said bridge, or to empower the Corporation to borrow a certain sum tor • those purposes, upon the credit of the Orphans' Fund. BONDED GOODS.—The following important commercial intelligence is communicated to us from a high au thority in the Custom House Department :—" It has been de cided by a letter from the Secretary of the , T . reasury, that b.ond ed gooth, .warehoused before sth July 1623, may . remain in warehouse without payment of duty, for the unexpired part of five years allowed by their Lordships' ,Mipute of the Oth of August 1815, provided the parties renew their bonds as hereto fore.—( Liverpool Mercury.) We understand it is in contemplation to petition Parliament for leave to erect a Pier our fo e on the coast at Deal, thereby forming a harbour for shipping in all seasons. The utility of such an undertaking to the interests of our naval ser vice, must be apparent to every one, besides the incalculable benefit to the once populous town of Deal. His Majesty's ship Sphynx was commissioned on Friday at Chatham, by . Captain Curtis. An Express arrived at Chatham on Friday evening with orders far the Brisk, of 10 guns, Captain Stewart, to proceed Lo de sea with all dispatch, in consequence of which she sailed the nett day for the Nore. Saturday evening three of the Com.. missioners of the Navy arrived at Chatham i n n the D tte. art, and landed at the Commissioners stairs.—( Kenti Gaze) A. correspondent, who has himself witnessed the facts, tells us that there is a set of ruffians who prowl about the streets of an evening, throw ing vitriol on the dresses of men and women.— ( Times). . • fr , _ ~.t..„1 1, e F es _ ' , -,.., r , ~ -,,,, • 60 4 (~...k kt ~ :- ,- - rt , , t t © ( a ' :"..... , ' ~ ''. , m g. ‘; . ,: i i i ,,,, z...,.. _ .. ~, ..,, .. 4 _ .„/ AN:yf-,--__9+ , V. ) 1- .--.. ~.3., ms's,,... -r • .ft - - 4 . . 4 if ;I'. •'-' ft A\ 1 1 Ni/ •R oi 1- 1 :-- ..0,- , . r ) f , FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

There is no sale to-day as it was originally arranged, as , will be seen from referring to the Catalogue, that Mondays are excepted. Yesterday some hundreds of persons from the neigh bouring towns presented themselves at the different gates, ex pecting to be admitted as on the preceding Sundays. It was, however, never intended that this should grow into a cus tom, and accordingly a stand was made on this occasion. Mr. Philips stated to them that the Proprietors could not have his privacy intruded on every Sunday, and that unless distinct notice were given that they would be admitted the gates would be closed against them. The reasonableness of this was so ap parent, that if it did not console them for the journey which they had performed,. they felt that they had no right to com plain, and peaceably retired., The view continues, and the numbers have been greater to-day than usual. Sir James Mackintosh, who, with his daughters, arrived on Saturday, are still in the Abbey. Sir Henry Wilson has just arrived in a carriage-and-six. A dreadful storm occurred last night; the preceding evening had been remarkably serene, and a number of Gentlemen enjoyed the luxury of promenading the grounds to see the building by moonlight. It would be difficult to imagine any thing more truly beautiful than the scene thus presented. The turrets, battlements, and beheld from the north-east, pre sented a noble subject for the painter. The deep long drawn shadows of the more prominent parts of the build ing,. strongly contrasted with the sweetly graduated tints resting on those points which caught the full ray of the moon, and which strong and in same moments almost glaring at the base, grew fainter by degrees as the eye ascended, till the mild glow which rested on the summit of the lofty tower gave the most superb finish to Nature's harmony. Enthusiastic praise burst from the spectators, while they severally pointed mai to each other—here the darkened arches beneath the screen on the South—there the retiring lights in the Cloisters, the recent scene of elegant hospitality—then the silvery surface of the great body of the Abbey , while the surrounding woods and transparent lake demanded admiration in succession ; their varied beauties, or at least the enjoyment of them, being heightened when there was pause of speech, by the profound silence which prevailed, and which was rarely broken even by the rustling of a leaf, though occasional flashes of lightning intimated that the calm would be of brief duration, and announced the storm which followed. It has been dis covered that among the crowd turned back yesterday, seve ral persons of considerable property (and ecconotnical habits) were disappointed of saving, in this way, the price of 'a ticket. Mr. Farquhar kindy allowed his poor neighbours to be admitted on two successive Sundays But on the Sab bath the public generally have been excluded, though a few travellers and others, who could not else have made use of their tickets, are occasionally thus accommodated. THE THEATRE.—The Comedy of Sweethearts and Wives Continues to be very attractive at the Haymarket Theatre, which may well be ac counted for, not only from the intrinsic merit of the piece, but the general talents exerted in sup port of it. There was a change in the perform ance last night, owing to the illness of Mr. WIL LIAMS, a very good comic actor, whose part of Curtis was allotted to Mr. HAMMOND, and Who succeeded very well, considering the short time allowed for qualifying himself for the sub stitution. The Afterpiece was The Highland Reel, and here again a change was necessary on the same account, and Mr. LEE performed the part of 111 6 Gilpin . The house was very well at tended, which indeed has been generally the case through the season, particularly when the popu lar comedy above-mentioned has been represent ed, and still more since it has been strengthened by the very humorous farce of Fish out of Water. LISTON has been an essential prop of both pieces; but of both it may fairly be said that the success has been the natural effect of the general merit of the representation. Ma. BAANDON.—We believe that the public will join with us in feeling satisfaction that a pro vision, though temporary, has been made for this veteran servant of the theatre, as we find by the letter from Mr. ROBINS, which we have inserted this day. Mr. Routss gives the whole cre dit of this arrangement to Mr. FAWCETT, the Actor, from - whom such an act of bene volent interposition might well be expected, but it must be acknowledged that the friendly and resolute stand which Mr. ROBINS made on the occasion, has led to the gratifying result. It may be proper to observe, in answer to the surprise which has been expressed, that, after so long a connection with Covent-Garden Theatre, the veteran BRANDON had not been able to secure a due provision for the decline of life, that he was involved in an annuity of 601., con tracted in favour of an unfortunate relation, which our Readers will recollect was the whole of his saleey from the theatre, end which he was obliged to discharge for twenty-five years of his life. This hardship, and the general me rit of his character, doubtless excited the zeal of Mr. ROBINS, and probably, on reflection, had a due influence on the feelings of the Lessees. P.O E it Y. "MARCH TO THE BATTLE FIELD." SUNG BY MR. BRAMAN, ON HIS LATE VISIT TO DUELIN. Adapted to a Scotch Air, by Join; DAVY. March to the battle field, - • The foe is now before us, Each heart is Freedom's shield, And lleav'n is smiling o'er us ; The woes, the pains, The galling chains, •That kept our spirits under, In proud disdain, • We've broke again, And tore each link asunder. March ! &c. Who, for his country brave Would fly from her Invader ; Who, his base life to save, Would traitor-like degrade her' Our hallow'd cause, Our home and laws, 'Clainst tyrant pow'r sustaining, We'll gain a crown Of bright renown, Or die our-rights maintaining. • March ! &c. THE TRANCE OF LOVE., (FROM TUE ITALIAN{) Love in a drowsy mood one day ' Reclined with all his nymphs around him, His feathered darts neglected lay, _ . And faded were the flowers that crowned hint ; Young Hope, with eyes of light, in vain Led smiling Beauty to implore him, While Genius pour'd her sweetest strain, And Pleasure shook her roses o'er him. At length a stranger sought the grove, And fiery vengeance seemed to guide him, He rudely tore the wreaths of Love, And broke the darts that lay beside him ; The little god now wakeful grew, , And angry at the bold endeavour: He rose, and wove his wreaths anew,- And strung his bow more firm than ever. When lo ! th' invader cried, " Farewell, " My skill, bright nymphs, this lesson teaches, " While love is sprightly, bind him well • " With songs and smiles and honeyed speeches ; " But should dull languor seize the god, " Recall me on my friendly mission, " For know when love begins to nod, " His surest spur is OPPOSITION !'' N. A. 130XING. The Boxing Match on Wimbledon Common , for Fifty Sove reigns, yesterday, between Pill Page ( the Woolwich Baker) and Harry Mayne. This battle excited much interest. P. is known to the ring by a severe combat with Harris (the Waterman), and his anta gonist, a Clerkenmeller, had fought himself into good repute. The Fancy mustered strong in quantity, if not in quality, and the Commissary-General firsrmade the ring on Putney Com mon, but here it was intruded on And removed to Wimbledon Common, about a mile across the Kingston-road. It was nearly two before the combatants peeled in the second ring. S2conds —Harry Holt and Cooper (the gypsey) for Mayne, and Bishop Sharpe and Picket (the Dartford carrier) for Page. sto 4 ou Page, who was 21bs. the heaviest, was the strongest, anti had greatest length. In the first round there was an exchange of hits, from which the men broke away. On meeting _again, Mayne knapped a smart hit on the and he was thrown heavily; 2. A very game rally. The hitting, was quick, and both were like hungry fellows devouring a meal. Strength told for Page, and his superiority in throwing was evident. 3. A smart rally with returning hits. ' First claret Was pro. duced from the olfactory or snuff organ of Mayne, but he never left his adversary until he went down. Even betting. , 4. A manly round in favour of Mayne, who would not be denied his share at the scratch. He placed a rattlin hit on his adversary's chest, and he was paid by a blow at sight on the head. After a good rally Page was thrown. 5. The best in the battle. Mayne was pressed into a corner, but he shifted out with much dexterity, and made play by placing a hit upon the forehead. Page returned upon hun, and next received a hit with the left hand under the lug. The round finished after a rare rally, after which both went down. 6. A scrambling round ; Mayne was thrown a screwing awkward fall. _ . 7. Mayne ran himself down by an over hit. 8. Page hit his adversary twice on the head, and threw him from the ropes. 9 and 10. Both fought in dietress, and Mayne worsted by falls. 11. Mayne led most decidedly in this round. He 'placed three hits upon his adversary's head with quickness, in the last of which Page was dropped upon one knee. 12. Mere struggling, and both down. This was a scramb ling round also, but it was evident to good judges that Page must win. The Clerkenweller foutiht with great gaiety, but the smashing falls he received were enough to hit the wind out of him. His lion heart gave his best, but in the last half hour he !received much punishment, and Page won in 67 minutes after hard labour. MR. DAVY, THE ComposErc.--We regret to learn that the paragraph which we wrote in re commendation of a subscription fur the support of this unfortunate gentleman, and which was humanely copied by 'most of the London and many of the Provincial Journals, has not been at. tended with success. Mr. DAVY is much ad. vanced in life, is the victim of infirmity, is passed the exercise of his talents, and is without. any provis i on. We again appeal to the lovers of music and the friends of Genius to come forward in his cause, and contribute to smooth the pillow of age and debility ; and, for that purpose, we again state that his residence is 21, in May's Buildings, St. Martin's -lane. Surely the Musical Profession will be ready and liberal in assisting a brother in distress.

Immediately on Ig.ding he took post for Deal, to acquaint the friends of the parties concerned of their safe arrival. Too much praise cannot be given to the captain and crew for their intlefatigable and almost unex. ampled judgment in the management of the craft at such a dangerous crisis.—(Kentish Gazette.) . ALARMING FIRE AT BRENTFORD.—On Sunday night, about seven o'clock, the inhabitants of New Brantford were greatly alarmed by a fire breaking out in the house of Mr. Dw v mt, chemist and druggist, opposite the Church, which 'burnt with unabated fury for about an hotir and a half, by which time, although the engines ar rived immediately on the spot, the house, stock, and ,furniture, were totally destroyed, leaving nothing but the bare walls. The fire then com municated to the adjoining house, Mr. CALuts'..t, broker, and undertaker, which was seriously in jured, fortunately the whole of his property was saved, through the prompt assistance of the fire men. The above-houses and property have only been insured within the last few weeks ) since the fire at the Castle Tavern. IPsWIEri, SEPT. 15.--Last week, on emptying a pit on the premises of Mr. Downing, at Mellis, a solitary pike was found near the bottom, which weighed upwards of 771 b.: it had been remarked, that whenever any young ducks, on making for the water, entered this pit, they soon ,cliesp peered ; and it is pretty evident that they became his prey, as well as every living thing in the pit. When taken, it had a large water rat stuck in his throat. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.--On Wednesday even ing, (10th Instant), as two poor women, one aged about 70 (sexton of the parish of Ilingmore), the other a young woman about 20, who lived with her s were gathering sticks on the edge of a tremendous precipice near the Ness, at Sheldon, the younger one missed her footing, and her aged companion, her nurse and friend from infancy, caught hold of her hand to save her, but, shocking to relate, both were immediately hurled to the depth of 200 feet ! The only person near was a wo man, a neighbour of the unfortunate sufferers, who procured assistance from Sheldon as soon as her emaciated frame, rendered doubly weak from terror, would suffer her to crawl so far. Some honest sailors, ever ready in the hour of danger, immediately got off' a long boat, and with great exertion brought her round the Nes.a, though a strong east wind was blowing upon the rocks, and the surf ran high ; when at last they reached the objects of their compassion, and were getting the young woman into the boat, a high sea washed her out of their arms; in a second attempt, both she and one of the seamen were washed down, and the poor fellew in struggling to save her was nearly lost himself, but happily two of the other men succeeded in getting them out of the water ; they were then all compelled to return with the boat up the Teign, leaving the bleeding creatures on the rocks. A number of people who had assembled on the cliffs, watching the event, saw that the only means of saving them was to get ropes andhlankets to draw them up i which, with the assistance of lights, (for it was near eight o clock), and at the risk of the lives of those who ven tured in a circuitous way, descending from craig to craig, to get to them, theyeffected. They found them living, but in a dreadfully mangled state; anti the poor sufferers are now lying in one house near the church in Ringmore, about a mile from Sheldon. The poor woman who was with them when they fell, lives also just by • she is the mother of five children, and has long been in an ill state of health. The humane efforts of the sailors, too, who evinced all the kindness and fortitude of human nature, will, we hope, be effectually remembered. The Rev. Clergyman of Ringniore, or of any neighbouring parish, would, doubtless, receive any sums for the sufferers, or for those who rescued them from their perilous situation. The women are yet living, and the younger one may possibly recover.—(Exeter Barrette.) HORRIBLE ASSASSINATION%--.ollSaturday (Gth inst.), at 10 in the morning, N. Dclaye, formerly a merchant, was assassinated in his own house. He was pierced by a poniard in various parts of the body. His servant, on hearing his cries ran to his assistance, and endeavoured to arrest the villain in his flight. In the attempt he received two wounds in the shoulder which are supposed dangerous. The perpe trator of this horrible deed is a person named Dupuin, sheen- date of law, and formerly a traveller in the employment of N. Delaye, with whom he had some altercation on pecuniary affairs. After murdering the master; and wounding the servant, he made his escape in the direction of the AV:e de Brotteaux.— They began to despair of taking him, when a corporal of the 43d perceived the assassin running towards him. Hearing the cry of " stop," and seeing a man bareheaded endeavouring, at the same time, to turn in another direction, he bravely came up, not considering whether the villain was armed or not, and though much inferior in strengh and size, stopped him until he was taken into custody, and conveyed to the Hotel.de- Ville. He was soon after brought to the place where the murder was committed, where the King's Attorney and the Judges of Instruction attended.—( Lyons Gazette.) GRAPE-STEALING EXTRAORDINARY..--. Mr. PHILIP BOWLES, butcher, of Ragland, has a very large vine in front of his house, full of fruit, which for several weeks past he has observed to dimi• nish very perceptibly in quantity. Determined to detect the thieves, and bring them to justice, he sat up all night with two friends on Satur day last, but nobody came to disturb them. Abeut five o'clock, however, on Sunday morning, they heard a rustling noise in the vine, and going gen tly out of the house, to their great astonishment, they saw eleven rats descend from the roof of the house into the vine, and gorge themselves with the fruit. OLD DAittY—(lifirs DAT). -DARING ManwAy RoBBEIty.---lienry Bar don and John Elder, were put to the bar on an indictment, charging them with assaulting on the King's highway, William Tho-a, and taking from his person with force and violence certain monies, his property, on the 13th of September last. The prosecutor was returning home from his work about eleven o'clock through the Edge ware road, when the prisoners attacked him, stopped his mouth, and, after ill-treating him, robbed him. Elder proposed to drag him to th 4 cut and throw him in, observing, 4 % th e can't then appear against us ;" to which Bardon sa id, ic we'll let him lie where he is, he's got` etniugh of it." The prisoners then wade -off. The prisoners were taken into custody the fol lowing morning at the king's Arms, in the Edge.. ware-road. John Baron, a watchman on the Edgeware road, described the prosecutor to have told him the following morning of the robbery. Witness did hardly distinguish his features, he had received so much injury. He took the prisoners into cus tody. Wm. Carpenter, another witness, %vas called but did not answer. lie was then called'on recognizances, which were ordered to be estreated. The prisoners declared they were innocent, and called George Whitaker, who swore that he, in company with tw o p e rs o ns, name d G eorge an d Kendall, wire in the company of the prisoners from half-past ten o'clock until a quarter to twelve. Kendall and George swore to the same effect. A number of persons gave the prisoners very good characters. Air.

Mr. ANDREWS said he had a motion to submit to the Court, in the case of a libel, and it respected three individuals of great respectability in this city, against whom bench. warrants had been issued, and who were to give 48 hours' notice of bail. Ha now moved that that notice milht be waved, and that the bail might be received upon notict , given to the prosecutor. The prosecutor in this case wits a Mr. Dunn, anti the defendants were Mr. Lawson, Mr. Quick, and Mr. Couchman. - The RECORDER Asked if the bail was in attendance. • Mr. ANDREWS replied in the affirmative. Their nation were Mr. James and Mr. NiTilsen. The RECORIAII. inquired whether' the prosecutor was pre. sent. Mr. Dunn then appeared; and being asked by the Corr: * * whether he had any objection to the bad now produced, he said that he had but a very short time ago received notice that bail was to be produced. The RECORDER asked if he had any objection to the bail. Mr. Dunn - said he had a right to 48 hours' notice; and he had another objection—it was unconstitutional. The RECORDER.—Don't talk to rue o constitution, that's nonsense. The question is, whether you have any sound obu jection to the bail now produced. Mr. Dunn then proceeded to state to the Court the various expences he had incurred in fees to Counsel, &c. He thought it was very hard he could not have sufficient notice. The RECORDE it said, that he did not sit there to sell tice, but to del justice to all parties. He would not allow any one to exercise their passions or private animosities in this Court. Mr. ANDREWS then called Mr. James as one of the bail. The RECORDER asked if the prosecutor had any objection to make to the gentleman who now appeared as bail Mr. Dunn.—illy Lord, lam taken by surprise. It is to the other person I object. The RECORDER.—Do you object to thli gentleman? Mr. Dunn. —I do not know. I have had no time to make iaqu iries. The RECORDER.—Then hold your tongue, Sir.
