"' l a "r further details of Os* capture of Ipsara b 1 the Captain PACtI4, from which it now all- Pturs that the sanguinary triumph of that Corn. wander was owing to the treachery of the Al 14"ito mercenaries, who betrayed the forts tad other posts entrusted to them, and even .spiked the guns which were accessible to 114 $ Greeks. 'These ruffians are said to have heats deservedly sacrificed by the Turks, In the first moments of their victory. It is as sorted that the Captain PacuA was furnished • lay Christians with the means for making his de. scent on the island, and that even the Russian Minister at Coustantinople, Altriztant, had permitted the emplopnent of ships under ,the Russian flag for the conveyance of his truups from Mity lene.

Dunt.ix, Aua. 10.—Yesterday her Grace the Dowager Duchess of Richmond arrived at Morrison's Hotel, Dawson street, accompanied by the Ladies Susan and Sophia Lennox. Several distinguished personages have wince waited on her. This day the joy-bells were in motion to testify the respect which this amiable Lady is held in by the citizens of Dublin. A Post Assembly has been called for the purpose of preparing " a congratulatory address to her Grace.' The Duchess has very wisely declined the address alluded to in this paragraph. Her Grace stated she was duly sensible of the kindness of the intention, but that she preferred being permitted to prosecute her tour, without receiving any public nutrks of attention.— Nothing could be more prudent than this. The projectors of the address merely wished to revive party feelings and asso ciations which it is no longer the fashion " at Court" to .che rish ; and the Duchess of Richmond, who is as sensible as she ' is amiable, justly considered that it would be bringing no in crease to her consequence at the other side of the Channel, to be held out at the herald of discord at this side. Her Grace, we are glad to hear, is in excellent health.—t The Patriot.) DANIEL DULAN v, Esq.—This Gentleman, who was well known in thr genteel circles, and the musical world, died ou Thursday, at his house i►► Downing ..treet, at ►►u advanced age. He was a native of America, but disapproving of the Re volution in that country, came with other loyal characters to England. He was polished in his manners, liberal in his disposition, and possessed a mind sti ell stored with learning, literary taste, and knowledge of mankind. Few have been more deservedly respected in life, or have fallen into the grave more respected by those who had enjoyed the pleasure of his acquaintance. The Princess A uGusTA,u ttended by the Dowager . Countess of liAncounT, went from Frogmore on Alonday last on a visit to the Duchess of G_LotreErrEn 7 _ Yesterday was the birth-day of the Duchess of CLARENCE, when her Royal Highness completed her 32d year. The Prince of COllO U who travels under the name of Count HENWEnuno, reached Paris last Wednesday evening. The Governor of the Sandwich Islands, and the rest of the suite of the late Kimo, on Wed nesday paid a visit to several eminent mercantile houses, accompanied by a merchant, Mr. JoHN LOWE, for the purpose of purchasing samples of the different manufactures which are likely to prove valuable in those islands. We understand that they profess a groat desire to purchase all that they may want in this country, in prefe rence to deriving their supplies from the Ame ricans, with whOm they now carry on a trade far more extensive than is imagined ; and they estimate that the islanders, even in their pre.. sent state of civilization, will require articles from this country to the amount of more than 100 ; 0001. annually.

ESCkPE Or A SPANISII PATRIOT.--Two days ago, Don PuLtsro LA CALLE, a surgeon stud on the of Spain, arrived in London, having been aided in escaping from the gallows, to which he had been condemned with four others, who had been unjustly convicted of the murder of the Canon Vinuessa, while imprisoned at Madrid. La Calle was a moderate Constitutionalist, and entered into the Madrid Volunteers to save him self from thee Militia. On his return to Madrid, after the surrender of Cadia and the breaking up of the corps to which he belonged, La Calle, on presenting hienselfat tlsePoliceOilice,was arrested by an employe in it named Puga. On this fellow's testimony, and that of a regularly hired witness against the Constitutionalists, and in spite of the alibi sworn ' to its his favour, by no less that 14 respectable witnesses. Le Calle and the four others were convicted and sentenced to be bunged on the 16th J One. On that duy his companions were exe cuted ; hut, fortunately for La Calle, and proving the sprit which still remains unbroken in Madrid, Ile was rescued, four days provious to his intended e xecution, from prison and from chains, by per sons to whom he was ass entire stranger, who braved every thing to save him.

The deceased, it appeared, was foreman to Mr. Kaye, a baker, of the London-road. Some of his men were em ployed in carrying up flour into the loft on Monday, when they observed the deceased hanging to a beam, quite dead.

M ELANCIIOLY A cc , DEN'T.—Between the hours of eight and nine o'clock on Thursday evening, as Miss HAR RIET SEYMOUR, third daughter of Major SEvstlitt a, of Gower-street (formerly attached to the lion. East India Com pany's cavalry) was dressing for a hall, some part of her ap parel took tire during the momentary absence of her attendant, who had been sent into an adjacent apartment. The principal materials of the dress being Italian gauze and thin muslin, in stantly ignited, and the young lady, before she could be aware of the circumstance, was completely enveloped in flames, which ascending rapidly to the bosom, throat, and head, rendered her incapable of making a single effort to arrest their progress. In this dreadful state she rushed from the apartment, screaming wildly, and was met on the landing by her mother and the maid servants ; the former swooned away, whilst the latter, joining their shrieks to those of the sufferer, made some ineffec tual attempts to quench the fire. The alarm reaching the din-, ing-parlour, where Major Seymour and three or four other gen tlemen were assembled, they immediately ran up stairs, and by the help of blankets, the flames were effectually extinguished.. Surgical aid was quickly obtained, but from the d rea dful state of young lady's throat and head, very tkint hopes are entertain ed of her recovery.

At 12 o'clock the prisoners wt :a placed at the bar, when the following evidence was adduced : Matthias Sundhohn being sworn, deposed, that he ha , i been to Africa, in the Adonis, with the prisoners, in OA capacity of ship's carpenter ; and on their return to t 1.14 country, Joseph Franklio, a youth, officiated as steward in the vessel. bout the latter end of July last, the stew - sad, Franklin, served all hands with an extra portion of liquor, and was himself very drunk at the - time, so much so as to he unable to walk the deck. The Captain, being apprised of his situation, heat hint with a speaking , trum pet, six feet long, over his head, until it was broken into pieces, and then took up a batten in like manner, until the hots became stupid, and was removed forward by the mate, efttr which, in the state he was, forced hint to go up to the fore-mast head, and send down the top-gallant yard. Fraklin went up., but came down again without obeying the orders given to hire ; after which the prisoners gave directions for one of the crew, named Proctor. to go aloft, and forced Franklin after him.-- Many minutes had not elapsed before the witness heard a cry ' the boy is overboard," but no Assistance was offered to rescue him truth his perilous situation. The wind was blowing ha7.l at the time: a steady man would scarce have been able !u hold on. Edward Proctor on the 30th ofJuly last was on board thot Adonis, and recollected Joseph Franklin, the acting 4tevrard. serving all hands with art extra portion of grog. Ile was very drunk, and incapable of walking the deck ; the mate (messiii. the prisoner Finn's) took Franklin in his arms, arid carri...i Min into the forecastle, and in a short tittle afterwards called trio boy three times to conic upon deck ; he was backward and refused. The mate then came down, and asked the wintrys for a knife to cut rope's end; the witness told him he! had nut got one. The unite then forced the bay upon deck. before him, where the Captain was waiting; and the wit nes heard hint (meaning the Captain) order the boy to go tip to the foretop-mast-head and send down the foretop-gallant yard ; tire buy went up, came down again, and said he coukt not do it ; the mate then called the witness for the purpose, awl insisted upon the boy Franklin going with him, who at wis time was 411i,king with cold, and unable to act for himself; th.! boy was unwilling to toll.* witness ; the mate then took a rope's-end, and forced hint up the rigging, crying out " up, you rascal." When the deceased had reached the cross_ trees he was unable to hold himself, and called out to witorev, saying, " you do not want me there." Witness replied," No, keep wl,,re you are, and bear the yard clear oil the top." At this time there was a heavy gale, which prevented the witness from hearing any thing passing below. Robert It . right, the cook, said, on the 30th or July he was in the tbrecastle trimming Iris lamps, he heard the Mate say the Captain had ordered him to send Franklin on deck : the bo o r then said, " It' you force me to go, I will go." In a short ftn, , afterwards I saw the Slate going aft, he was crying and looking over the stern of the vessel: the boy was then overboard A was blowing very bard ; the Captain observed it could not Gs helped, and the vessel could not he pot about.

Mr. HARMED, who attended on the part of the prisoners, addressed the Bench and observed, he hoped if the impression was, that under the circumstances it was a case to be sent for a Jury to determine. that his clients might be admitted .to bail.

Muni - mt.—A ino4 extraortlinnry case of mur der took place on Saturday last at Uploders. A young woman, named Ann Ituddon, about 2b yearn of age, In an advanced state of pregnancy by her sweetheart, was rtrstiaded by him to put an end to her existence by drowning nerself, as he said ha had no intention of marrying her. Search was made for ha on satutday and Sunday, and in the evening of the latter day she was found dead in about 18 inches at` water, close to the field where the said sweetheart was working on Saturday. Titer body on examination was found to be much bruised in (lift:rent parts ; it had evidently received some very violent blows., apt cially upon the head. A Coroner's Jury sat two days on the inquest, and returned a seriliet of ` 4 Wilf.:l murder against sonic person or persons unknown." Great alarm exists in the neighbourhood, anti certainly some grounds for suspicion, as the young man by whom the deceased was pregnant had mule an engagement to meet her friends at Itridport on the same day (Saturday last), for the purpose of making some settlement on the girl. They attended, but he did not. An active investi gation is still going on, l y Sir 31.
