A mail has been robbed within these two days in the neighbourhood of Mullingar, and the contents of the post bags have been scattered about the road. Amongst other papers the following was picked up the day after the transaction occurred. It is mani festly half of a letter; but the part that bora the direction was torn off. It announces a tragic occur rence, which very likely, in consequence of this in cident,- will be first made known to the parties most interested through the medium of the public Journals. 4tatement of the circumstances attending an unfortunate P occurrence in the River Berbfce, on tne evening of the 3d November, 1927, by which Lieutenant Coglan awl Lieutenant O'Donoghue, of the 60th Rifles, lost their lives, as well as private Fitzpatrick. The two officers above named, as well as Lieutenant Leman, of the same corps, left the Fort St. Andrew early on the morning of the 3d, to spend the day at the Colo nial Post, on the opposite side of the River. They passed over in a corial, or canoe, which, for a length of time, has been used for the purpose of communicating with the opposite bank, when the weather would permit, being much lighter than the garrison- boat, and they gave direc tions that the same corial should he sent for them in the evening. This was accordingly done, and from the state ment of the three men who Were in it, it seems that they passed over -without danger or difficulty. By the time, however; that the Officers arrived, the tile was running down with 'great ' rapidity, and the wind blowing in the -opposite direction, caused a con siderable swell. They embarked, - on their return, a little before eight o'clock, and there being two men of the band waiting at the ferry for a passage to the fief', also taken in, making in all eight persons, in' addition to whom, a man named John Smith; who kid the appear ance of a sailor, begged for a passage, anti was allowed also to embark. It appears that the curial hni trtplit, or open ing, in one side, a few ' inches below the gunwale, hut which did not cause it to leak until brought low in the water by a heavy load ; or until the broadside olthe boat was turned to the .waves. When, however, they had got a short distance front the shore, the had occasion to. bale the boat, and whilst they were doing, this, and just after the officers had decided on returning to the krry.diouse, it suddenly filled with water, and turned over.. From the best acconnts.that can be collected, ii appears that Lieutenant O'llonog,,bue got entangled vii4b paivate Fitzpatrick, and 44.14- without being seen again ; Lieutenant Coghlan first got hold of the bottom of the corial, but sub -oe4uently left it, and endeavoured to swim, which, however, be never reached. . • Two privates, named Scully and Toole, also attempted ao swim to the shore, and being rauch,lightmelothed, sup ported themselves until picked tip by a liont,-which was sent to their assistance from the Ferry. Lieutenant Lerman and the two. other privates remaiaN.holding to the bottom of the curial, until swealoy,Ae same boat.

LEGHORN, DEC. 21.—The report which had been spread ibr some days, that the Greek fleet with which Lord Coch rane was off Scio had been burnt by the Allies, is false in every particular. We learn, on the contrary, in the most positive manner, that Lord Cochrane, in concert with some European vessels, has visited the islands of the Archipelago, to prohibit the inhabitants from suffering privateers to be fitted out upon their coasts, and has visited the bays, and the most retired creeks—the usual retreat of the pirates— where he has destroyed several mistics, whose crews were composed of the refuse of all nations, acknowledging neither country nor laws, who had united to plunder ships under whatever flag they might sail, not excepting that of Greece itself. The Greek Government, knowing how much these pirates injured it in public opinion, and what advantage the enemies of its cause derive from these circumstances, had long wished to put an end to these crimes, and has taken advantage of the moment when the intervention of the great Powers has caused hostilities to be suspended. The destruction of some mistics of this kind, has probably riven rise to the story of the burning of the Greek flotilla. Augsburgh Gazette. ALEXANDRIA, OCT. 12.--(Ftwat A LETTER. Caleb, s;herif of Measa, who died at Salonichi, was succeeded by his nephew, Sherif Jekza, who at first showed himself full of zeal for the interestof the Viceroy and of the Porte ; but he appears to have been organizing in silence, ever since that time, the plan of a revolt, which has just broken out. " The Turks, under the command of Ahmed Pacha, to the number of 3,000 cavalry, 4,000 Egyptian infantry, and a considerable number of Arabs, were in possession of Medina, Mecca, Taif, Jidda, Jambo, and other fortresses in the country. The first attack of the rebels was directed against Medina. They had the advantage, and took pos session of the defiles to intercept the retreat of the Paella's troops towards Jambo. rebels then advanced against Mecca, where Ahmed Pacha lost part of his cavalry, and escaped himself with great difficulty. Two battalions, whose Commander, Mehmed Bey, had taken flight, were saved at Mecca by the firmness of Ahmed Effendi, who commanded the battalion. The Turks and Egyptians, lipwever, suffered considerable loss in this engagement. It is said that the Rebels had obtained fresh advantages, and that Mecca, as well as Taif, had fallen into their hands. Ahmed Pacha has retreated to Jidda, with the remains of his corps. " On the first news of this revolt, the Viceroy imme diately sent a battalion of infantry, and subsequently two others to Jidda. Afterwards, however, learning that things had taken a more serious turn, he adopted the most ener getic measures against the Rebels. The Sherif Mehmed, cousin to Caleb, who died at Salonica, has received the command of a corps, composed of 3,000 Arabic infantry, 2,600 Turkish cavalry, and 12,000 infantry, at the head of which he has set out for Arabia. We expect the news of /iis operations." FRENCH FuNns.—PARIS, JAN. 1 o.—Rentes, Five per Cent. Iv f.

During,. the present week, Salmon ) Furzman, and Gardiner, officers Of Bow street, have been night and day in pursuit of the murderer. Too much praise cannot be given to them for their exertions ; in fact, "sleep has not touched their eyes, nor ,lumber their eye-lids," for the last three nights, so anxious have they been to effect the capture of the , ipposed murderer.. It will be recollected, that on the night the murder was committed, a man, dressed !II a blue coat and a white apron, was seen talking to the , deceased in the passage of Mr. Lett's house. Every means have been adopted to find out who that individual was, and an extraordinary accident disco vered him to the Police. Not a moment was lost by the officers to effect his apprehension, and, by the direction of Mr. Halls, they went to Lambeth. where the'man had for some time resided, to take him into custody. One of the officers called at his residence and asked for him ; but he was told that he was from home. A watch was set upon the house, and yesterday it was ascertained that the individual they were pursuing had absconded on Monday last. Last night Mr. Knight (the son of the deceased), and his son, and the Police Officers, went in different direc tions about the metropolis, and exerted themselves to discover the suspected person. There is every reason to believe that he is now concealed in Lon don. They were pursuing their inquiries during Thursday night, and also yesterday till one o'clock, when they had an interview with Mr. Halls, at Bow-street Office. The facts communicated by the Officers to Mr. Halls induced him to order a hand bill to be circulated, offering a reward for the appre hension of the supposed criminal, as follows : " Public Office, Bow-street, 10th Jan., 1327. " TEN POUNDS REwAnn.—William Jones stands charged on oath with a capital felony, and has absconded. lie is about 24 years of age, rather stout and strongly built, stands about five feet five inches in height, dark eyes, with hair brushed up in front, no whiskers, and has a very pro minent mark of a cat about an inch long on his left cheek, near the mouth; he has been several voyages to sea.—ln formation is requested to be given to Mr. Stafford, Chie Clerk, at the above office, where a reward of Ten Pounds will be paid on the apprehension of the offender." The worthy Magistrate had evidence of the raostf stisfactory description laid before him, previous to Ins giving directions for advertising the suspected person. We have been informed that the suspect ed individual had several times called upon the de ceased prior to the commission of the murder, and that he had not long returned from sea. Last night, at a late hour, the officers were in ac tive pursuit of Jones. At twelve o'clock they had not captured him ; but they had obtained a " scent," and probably before our next publication he will be in custody.

The Ministry—the. Ministry is still the all absorbing topic of conversation, but up to the present have nothing is definitively settled —at least nothing authentic has transpired upon this momentous question. We can there fore only offer an opinion—and every man is busy in shaping his own views, and drawing his own conclusions, as to the probable results of the new arrangements. Thegeneral opinion, we believe to be, that a Ministry will be formed professing mo derate principles,—but how far it will act upon these principles is doubted. That an exclusive Tory Government will not meet the wishes of the people is as clear as that it will be subversive of the best interests—the very character .of the country. We hate the distinctions of /nig and . Tory—they are mere nicknames, serving only to engender and perpetuate party animosities. The interests of the country know no party feelings ; they require no divided friends to support—to cultivate—and to con tinue their existence. Those who wish well to the country are its best friends, be they Whig or Tory ; but as party feeling and certain views are entertained by different men •possessing large property and influence in the country, it would be very desirable for the interests of the people that they should meet and coalesce at the " golden medium." A nation divided against itself can no more prosper than a private family ; would it not therefore be wisdom in both parties, each professing to have the good of the Country at heart, to unite for the public welfare ? The present—for it still exists—the present Administration is composed of men representing the varied interests of the country,—men pro fessing Whig and Tory principles, united for the same end, and pursuing, till the present inauspi cious moment, the same object—cannot the major part of these, since some wish to retire, coalesce with the more liberal part—with men who entertaining conscientious scru ples upon certain points, are yet agreed upon . general matters,—for the interests of the country are general, and not particular ? In saying this, let it not be supposed that we shall change with the ' shifting currents of political events ;—no, we stand pledged to no party but that which is liberal : we have supported Mr. CANNING'S Government, because it was founded, in our humble judgment, upon principles which men having the interest of their native country at heart, ought to support, and we will still advocate those principles, and support men who act upon them, be their denomination, Whig or Tory, but not otherwise. Of those men, known as Ultra Tories, we have no hope, and shall therefore waste no advice upon them, because it would be useless. But moderate • Tories and liberal Whigs have united, and, we think, can unite again in the same Administration, thus blending 'the trivial distinctions of party feeling i n one broad stream of national prosperity. L et suc h men unite, and they shall have, because' they will deserve, our support : let men of an il liberal bias take upon themselves the administra tion of public affairs, and they shall have our de termined, and, we trust, effectual opposition, The Paris Papers of Wednesday, and the Gazette de France of Thursday morning, we re received last night. They contain no news from Constantinople later than the 11th Dec., when tranquillity prevailed. M. RIBEAUPIER RE was still at Bujukdere waiting for a favourable wind.

A letter from Alexandria of so old a date as the 12th Oct. describes the particulars of the rebellion of the Sherif of Mecca against the authority of the Viceroy of Egypt. Con siderable success seems to have attended the first operations of the insurgents, but the Viceroy subsequently sent a powerful force against them, which it is expected will speedily put an end to the revolt. The French Funds maintain their price. Extracts of these Papers are given in another column. No Express from Paris with Thursday's papers had reached London when we went to Press. Accounts from Odessa, dated on the morning of the 19th ult., were received in the City yes terday ; but at that date no intelligence had been received from Constantinople later than the Ist of the month. The Allgemeine Zeitung, of the sth January, has been received this morning, but it contains no news. It appears that large purchases of corn and wool have recently been made in the neighbourhood of Frankfort, for the French markets. An article from Warsaw, mentions the great popularity of the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE, and states that the deepest regret would be felt throughout Poland, " if he should leave us." Are we to conclude from this, that the ARCH DUKE is about to quit Poland with the veteran troops, who are on the march for the South, for the purpose of putting himself at the head of the army, destined to invade the Turkish dominions ; and, perhaps, to reach the capital of that Em pire ? The following are extracts : FRANKFORT, DEC. 31. Last week the corn trade was very brisk both here and at Offenbach, and the prices rose. The principal pur chasers are dealers from Worms, who buy up the corn here, and send it direct to France. It is affirmed that at present more extensive business of this kind is done at that place than even at Mayence. Considerable quantities of German wool have lately been sent to France, especially the better sorts from Waldeck. We know nothing here of the purchase of the Red-house by Baron Rothschild, men tioned by several journals. WARSAW, DIC. 22. We are assured that his Imperial recommended the Grand Duke Constantine has s t r o n gly our countrymen, implicated in the Russian conspiracy, to the clemency of the Emperor his brother. It is there fore not doubted but that these persons, as soon as the Supreme Court of Justice'shall have passed sentence, will obtain pardon. The Grand Duke daily becomes more po pular, and has gained the attachment of the Polish nation to such a degrse that, if he should leave us,.the greatest re gret would be felt by the inhabitants of the capital, and of the kingdom of Poland.

Yesterday morning, being the anniversary of the Em peror's Saint's day, solemn mass was performed in the chapel of the winter palace, at which their Majesties the Emperor and Empresses, and other members of the Imperial family, were present. The members of the Council of the Empire, the Senators, Generals, and persons of distinction attended the ceremony, after which the diplomatic body paid their compliments to their Majesties. Te Deem was also performed in the Cathedral of our Lady of Casan, and in all the churches of the capital. - The city was illumi nated in the evening. On this oecasion his Majesty was pleased to make numerous promotions, both in the army and at Ceurt. Accounts from Rio de Janeiro are said to mention that the Marchioness DES SANTOS, the First Lady of the Imperial Palace, has, out of love for her country and its honor, and for the glory of the Emperor Don PEDRO, to whom she owes all her fortune, offered to lend the Government, to enable it to carry on the war, One Million of Milreas, and Forty Thousand Milreas per month without interest. The Director, in his reply, pays many com pliments in the name of the Emperor to the Marchioness, for her disinterested patriotism, and accepts her offer. Our City Correspondent adds, that 60,0001. sterling has been shipped for this country for the purpose of paying the dividend on Brazilian Stock, due in April next. It occasions us great regret to announce that the water has again forced its way into the Thames Tunnel, and that a melancholy loss of life has attended this unfortunate event. The progress already made in this extraordinary under taking, which, as far as it had been carried, already had become one of the most striking works in the world, of the ingenuity and perse verance of man, afforded a fair and reasonable ex pectation that the, plan might have been com pleted. We fear, however, now that there must be an end to such an expectation. The enormous additional expence which this dis aster would occasion, and the exhausted state of the funds o f th e C ompan y, preclude the hope that the ingenio us pro jector, Kr. BRUNEL, will be able to per sua d e persons of capital to pursue their object. We shall rejoice if it should be otherwise, for it is lamentable after so large a capital as has been already sunk, that a work of such utility, as well as -curiosity, should be abandoned for want of means to meet the expences of a contingent accident and to carry on the works.

The confusion created by inch an alarm can never be described. The men rushed to the mouth of the tunnel in the greatest terror, and we are grieved to relate that six of them met with a watery grave. In less than fifteen minutes the tunnel was filled to within a few feet of the top of the shaft, and all attempts to relieve the unhappy sufferers were ineffectual. Several others, who had fallen down in the rush to escape, were also in the most imminent peril, and were saved by the greatest good fortune. The water came in at the right'haud corner of the, shield, and burst in without hardly any warning. ' The following are the names of the lost men :—John Ball, leaving I widow ;Thomas Collins, a widow and one child; Jeptha Cook, a widow and four children ; John Long, a widow ; and Geo. Evans and Wm. Seaton, single men. The accident is supposed to have origi nated while working into a " dredge hole," a place from whence gravel had been taken for ballast, and which had been filled up with filth and soft mud. Mr. Brunell has been there this morning, and has sent for the diving bell to examine the bed of the river. A great number of bags of clay have been kept in readiness, and more are preparing with all speed. The workmen' are now engaged in getting out the loose timber, and the earliest possible search will be made for the bodies of the sufferers, none of which have yet been found. Mr. Brunel!, jun., was in the tunnel at the time of the irruption, and retained an astonishing coolness during the deafening and terrifying noise of the water, which was truly appalling, and seemed to paralyse the efforts of the men. He is an expert swimmer, and, regardless of his own personal safety, he actually swam with the man Ball in his grasp a considerable distance, but as the lattes—xnade desperate efforts to get hold of him, he was at last obliged to leave the unfor- • tunate man to his fate, in order to nave himself, which he did with some difficulty, as the violent rush of the water had destroyed part of the stair case. The impetuosity of the rush of water is perhaps attributable to the high tides of the last few days. The consternation in the neighbourhood o n the alarm being given vas indeed distressing. A crowd of the relations and friends of the different work people suvrounded the entrance, some of them half dressed females, and evinced the most intense anxiety for the safety of those for whom they enquired; and it was not till the accident allowed sufficient relaxation to call the muster, that they could be prevailed on to depart. We ,believe none of the sufferers' wives or children were then present. The Duke - of Clarence had fixed his visit to the Tunnel on the 26th inst. Great crowds of , persons were, anxiously trying to obtain ad m i ttanc e 1 to see the ravages of the irruption, but the gates; were closed toall but those connected with the works.' The majority of the old members of the Chesterfield Yeomanly have offered to continue their ser vices as volunteers, under Capt. Warcirx. We under stand also, that the hoops of Captains Por.a and %Yuma have acceded to the proposition of their Colonel, Sir 11.. WILMOT, and have tendered their gratuitous services, Nottingham Review.
