The Paris Papers received since our last are anisuportenti except that they contain further corrobonttiona of the victories said to have been gained by the- G ree k s , b oth on sea and lan d , inme ' d iately after they had lost Ipsara. It is how aajd II that th ree of the CAPTAIN PACA'S frigate* were destroyed by the Greek fire-ships, end that his own vessel was so much damaged by the weil-directed fire from the batteries of I Nara,, that she effected her escape with great difficulty, and• will require repairs, the execution ° r which must occupy two months. The details are said to have been officially published in the Catelle of Missolonghi. The French papers, per. haps through the instrumentality of the Censor 'hip, are silent as to the progress of the Consti tutional insurrection in Spain. The accounts re seived from different quarters, however, repre-I sent it as far from being contemptible. Hatred or the French, which our Readers are aware we Predicted would sooner or later be violently ma. Ilifested if they remained long in military posses '!" of the country, has at length bum-forth with all the deadly energy which charaeterises a Spa niard's antipathy to foreigners. The soldiers of the Army or Occupation, therefore, are now exposed to m uch greater dangers than they encountered during their triumphant march fiom the Pyrenees to Cadiz and their commanders are so sensible of t heir perilous situation that they are securing it li ne of fortress which may protect them in their rvirl tt) if a retreatshould become necessary. In Pursuance of this system, they have garrisoned four of the strongest places in Catalonia, in addition to ilircelona, viz. Tortosa, Tarragona, Lerida, and Csrdenne, from which, as well as from several Other fortresses :and cities, including Madrid it ilelft they have' Wholly ejected their ci-derant 41110 1 the Royalist Spanish troops, who may therefore .be expected soon to shew themselves *t flosigst the 'numbe r of their enemies.

Even if the present insurrectionary move . Inent Should :he frustrated, the hour of re tribUtion for the injuries inflicted up S • Pon pain must eventually' arrive ; and France, ns the re. ward of her iniquitous invasion, must o day ne either consent to the re-establishment of a Roverinnent capable of.preserving the tranquillity of the„ Spanish Monarchy without foreign aid, or Plan 13e with all her resources into n war with a Pe°Ple w . l leT , detest,.more than all others, the r y idea o f f oreign.subjueation, and whose coun try F has. already proved th e grave of more than renCh one Army.

WINDSOR, AUG. 27.—This afternoon the KING, accom panied by the Marquis Conyngham, and attended by one of the Park-keepers, and his usual outriders, took an airing in the Great Park. Since his !Majesty has resided so constantly at 'Windsor, the greatest attention has been paid to the various rides that intersect the Parks, and several new ones, embracing a variety of the most picturesque scenery, have been formed under the King's immediate direction. The great extent of ground which is included in the Parks, enables, by this means, the Royal Party to vary their daily exercise in the most agree able manner.—Last evening their Royal Highnesses the Prin cess Augusta and the Duchess of Gloucester arrived at Frog more Lodge, from Bushy Park; and this day her Royal Highness the Duchess. of Gloucester left Frogmore for Bag shot Park. . . ..) 4. • ~, , ..' ....ift 4.

POETRY. A GREEK WAR-SONG. It comes—the Crescent o'er the sea! With baleful light, from far. Oh, Greece, its flame glares woe on thee, Like a malignant star. Then let us raise our brighter sign— The glorious Cross on high, And pour around its light divine, To blast it from the sky. They come—the foe is on the wave; They proudly break the foam. Oh, let the ocean be our grave Ere they go proudly home. Ipsars ! we'll remember thee, Amid the dashing spray, That reddens where our sails shall be Mix'd with the foe's array. Tim' the dark Savage tore thy bloom, And slaughter'd and defil'a, Tin thou wert like a place of doom, So desolate ! so wild ! Yet there's a vengeance lives to sweep, Around thy fatal spore, The tyrant to the howling deep, And in his shroud of gore ! Ipsara ! we'll remember thee When o'er our fathers' graves i • Like mountain hunters, we sh a ll spring . Upon the startled slaves. The columns of our native land, Remind us of our race, That, 'mid barbarian ravage, stand In glory's broken grace. So, bow'd beneath a savage yoke, The Grecian heart enslav`d, - Might by the iron rod be broke, But not be all deprav'd. Oh ! for our temples--for our right, And for our lovely laud, Raise high the Cross in Freedom's light,. And arm its soldier's band. Heed not the bloom that waves around The valleys of our birth, But think this son was Freedom's grounll, _ When first she trod the earth. See by each rock and mountain-glen The trophy and the urn, Inscrib'd with deeds of god-like men That make our spirits burn. They tremble at no Despot's look, Nor worshipp'd kindred dust, Their CHARTER from their GOD they took ' 1 As an immortal trust. Our Sires disdain'd the Tyrant's wrath, His purple and his chains, Oh ! be their spirit on our path iVhose blood is in our veins. So we strike Oppression down, So quell barbaric pride ; Nor crouch beneath the Moslem frown, Where the proud Persian died. TV E ARMY. GRANT) REVIEW IN THE PBCENIX PARK. Monday there was a splendid military spectacle in the Pluenix Park, Dublin—two Regiments of Cavalry, and four of Infan. try, with Artillery, &c. having been reviewed by Lord Cox. RE 113IERE. General GRANT commanded. At two o'clock the regiments marched into the Park. and the ground was kept by Infantry, stationed along the extensive re view ground, at proper distances. Ar tillery, formed on the right ; next them the I st Battalion of the The 4th (or Royal Irish) Dragoon Gu ards, flanked by 3d Guards. The 79th Highlanders, the 84th, the Rifle Brigade, and the oth Lancers, and Artillery, were paraded in ordinary succession. At a quarter past three o'clock, discharges of artillery an nounced the arrival of the Commander of the Forces.

In this manner the squares withstood repeated charges of cavalry, and reformed into line by a new and dexterous m a . nceuvre. Another discharge of musketry along the whole line was followed by a charge of cavalry, and discharges of artillery. The battle over, the Commander of the Forces advanced, and the whole line presented arms, the various bands playing " God save the King." In the advances of infantry, before alluded to, the general effect was greatly enl'anced by the ancient music of Scotland—. the pipers of the 79th Highlanders struck up the pibroch with great animation. A vast number of carriages were on the ground ; in many of them were ladies of rank and fashion. The day was peculiarly favourable to the grey scene ; all passed off without any accident that we could hear of, and without even a single horseman having been deplumed. MAJOR-GENF.RA I. W. A. PREVOST. The late Major-General William A. Prevost, entered the service on the 15th of March, 1770, as an Ensign, in the 60th Regiment of Foot; obtained on the let. Oct. 1781, a Lien tenantry in the same corps ; and, on the 17th Dec. 1781, a Lieutenantcy in the 3d Regiment of Infantry.

The room Prosenkd a brilliant die play of fashionable company, and the performances were exe cuted in a way calculated to afford gratification to every lover of harmony. Mr. Kalkbrenner was most enthusiastically ap plauded in a composition of his own, in which he introduced, most appropriately, one of our sweetest national melodies...... M iss Ashe and AI r. Larkin contributed their vocal powers upon the occasion, and the orchestra was ably led and conducted by Alesars. Alday and Blewitt.— (Dublin Star, du g . 25.) SUIDDVN DEATH. —On Saturday, Mr. Robert Tustin, bricklayer, Evesham, went to bed apparently as well as usual ; his wife waking in the night, thought he seemed cold, and on farther examination found him a corpse At tr Privy Council, held on Saturday last in Dublin, two Proclamations were a upon, whereby the In surrection Act was removed from the Ebllowinsigacest—Wset Division o ee of KU of East C ar b er y ; E a st and Wester West Carbery I Baronie s o f Ibane and Barryree, and pariah and Kiltrarifr; and the part or partial's of laud, easnt l y ie = s , known by the name of the Brebands of Tentplebraln and Cur ragraneniore, in the baron of East Carboy, by the first, and the liberties of t h e county of the dty of Corks b the 406411* THE - THEATRE. tIAYMARKET. — As the indisposition of Miss PATON unhappily continues, Miss Ilimmes, who was her substitute for Polly. in The Beggar's Opera, on Saturday last, resumed' that character yesterday evening. Considering that, as is as» serted in a respectable Morning Paper, this was actually her second appearance on any stage, she would be entitled to indulgence, even with less merit than she really displays. It is only by practice that what is technically styled the busi ness of the stage can be acquired. She sings with taste, and appears to act with feeling. She was, as before, encored in " But he so teazed me," and, last night, in 46 Cease your funning,” and altogether acquitted herself to the satisfac tion of a very numerous audience. We cannot help again protesting against the ludicrous ab surdity of allotting to Madame VESTRIS the com mand of a band of desperadoes, ripe for robbery and murder. She might alternately be tried in Poi/3, and a snale representative be found for Machcath. FARaes and WILLIAMS, in Peachuni and Locket, were diverting without extravagance, and M rs. C. J oNts was excellent in Lucy. W. NV EsT sacrifices too much to the taste of the galleries. He possesses merit tktt deserves public encou ragetnent, but his humour is rather too,broad fur a regular Theatre. SPORTING INTELGENCE. BEDFORD RACES, WEDNESDAY, Auo. 25.

So great was the sensation excited towards the Races at Exeter this season, that early in the morning of Wednesday the city began to assume an animated appearance, by the vari ous preparations making to convey company to the spot on Haldon. Almost every beast of burden, from the humble donkey to the high mettled steed ; and vehicles of all descrip tions, from the lowly cart to the splendid curricle or barouche, were put in requisition for the occasion. The weather also being uncommonly fine, the number of persons on the Course was unprecedentedly large, and a variety of elegant equipages filled with beauty and fashion, augmented the gaiety of the scene. The running was of the first order. The Devonshire Stakes of 25gs each (23 subscribers), to which 501. will be added. Once round the Course. Mr. Farquliarson'a g.

Barbery Wandsworth Favourite Thomas Roberts Ditto Henry William White Chiswick Victory Thomas Brill Wandsworth Father's Child Forgot John Garthwaite Greenwich Friend's' Goodwill Robert Edmore Bankaide- William and George G. Banks Lambeth Henry and Jane J. Harbutt Wandsworth Endeavour J. Reed Greenwich Favourite Samuel Perkins Wandsworth 'Thomas and Agnes Thomas Pridmore Battersea And the conditions of the match were stated to be . that;the peter-boats were not to exceed a certain len g th (22 feet) anti to sail, under spritsail and foresail, the dist a nc e f r o m Black. friars to Putney •and back. All having agreed and ratified those terms, the wherries moved out of the way ; the 'stream appeared clear 'for action, when the " fleet" containing ► the lookers-on set sail, and in a f e w m in u t es t h e s i gna l for being at positions was made, and at 20 minutes to four o'clock the start took place. The Victory and the Ann's Delight having declined the competition, only 12 boats started. The contest at the setting out was very fine, the wind blew fresh from the east, and the tide fully favoured the expectation of the come titors. The Betsey took the lead, and kept it in tine style through Waterlm-bridge, having evidently every advantage of tackle ; however, the Father's Child Forgot bore up, and in • a gallant way took the lead ' • and at Vauxhall-bridge, she was passed in fine style by the Endeavour, Favourite, anti Thomas anti Agnes. This last boat, in Chelsea-reach, was slightly fouled ; she, however, bore on her starboard tack away, and had gained the lead, not only at Battersea, but in the far-famed reach for trial of skill, at Wandsworth, where the Betsey, by bearing to the windward, gained considerably upon the Thomas and Agnes ; but this boat, by great stress of sail, pusliedhpon a contrary tack, and, by dint of the most skilful management, gained the breeze, and gallantly passed round the boat stationed off the Powder-house, Putney, fol lowed by the Betsey ; but this beat had something to do to avoid the Father's Child. Forgot, and at this time the contest , was between the three boats. The Thomas and Agnes cut on under every description of tack, closely pressed by the Betsey, who made every effort to keep under her wake. At Nine .Einis the second boat was slightly fouled, but she had no chance of winning the prize, as the leading bout was at least, on every tack, 30 lengths a-head. At 20 minutes past six, amid' the roar of cannon, and cheers of an immense assemblage at Cum berland-gardens, the Thomas and Agnes came in the winning boat, striking the sprit-enil. The order ofatomlug in appeared to be the Betsey, The Father's Child Forgot, and the . Favourite. The coming in was very fine :--there waltecarOY ftn•• I n sa iling, but evidently Pridmore, the.owner of t o Thomas an d Agnes, well understood the weathei-gage of the river and co nsequently distanced his opponents. i Were* MOST ALARMING FIRE. This`. morning, about two o'clock, a iitit! br the. most disastrous nature broke out iii . Abe saw-mills of Messis. • Tuitivxtt and Company, in Gravel-lane, lloundsditch, whOse preriuses extend' to a neighbouring court backwards, towards C u tl e r -str e et,' in th e cl ose ' vicinity of ono of the East India Company's 'warehouses.. 'the alarm spread throughout the neighbourhood, and at such an hour, may be easier conceived than ex pressed. From the nature of the property where the fire commenced—the very close buildings--H -the hour of the night—and the complete want of water, the devouring element'gaini.d such ground, that at one time it was fearer? that the fire wcitil4 find its way to Petticoat-lane,"whtett the destruc tion would' have been most dreadful. Coufieed as the fire was kept, not less than seven or eight houses were, in the course of two hours, reduced to ruins. l t was not possible to - ascertain,the names and numbers of all 'the houses destroyed, but we saw the Box-tree public-house, f(qA. by Mr. Swaine, completely burnt down ;and the other number of dwellings above mentioned in such state of conflagration, before their filling; thei several other houses were severely ilatnaged.-- 1 Cock-and-Hoop-court, adjoining to t 'Where . the fire broke out, had wine of the housis daMaged, and at one thne the fear was that Aldizate work house, situate in that place, would, kaye e Aufil e x e ii the fato of Messrs. Turner's premislai. It •was distressing to see the individuals, whoili property was wholly destroyed, escaping from Ouger, and those who saved a little of their furnittire, lodged it in the front of the work-house in Cock-and-. Hoop-court. Mr. Cope, the City-marshal, Led better, and the officers of the city, were at their posts, and, in addition to their meritorious exer tions in preventing thieving, and taking - a , ll doubt ful characters into custody, they preserved that peace and order that, under such circumstances, are always desirable. It is but ,justice to say that fire-engines in abundance were pkOmpty the spot, and that the men, as usual;! exerted themselves, but the scarcity of water, for a time, thwarted their exertions. Had there Bern water sufficient at the commencement 4f this dis. nitrous fire, the parish-engine, the fist on the spot, would have quelled it. It is consolatory to have to state, that, under such circumstances, no lives have been lost. MERCANTILE SHIPPING.
