LITERARY NOTICE. CAPRICE; or; ANECDOTES of the LISTOWEL FA MILY. An Irish Novel: by Ax UNKNOWN. In three volumes. We venture to predict that the author of this interesting production will not always remain unknown; especially as the work seems, eVell at this early period of its publication, likely to meet with the success it so well deserves. Al though written by an " Unknown," it is not one of the numerous imitations of the IVaverlep novels. The whole-is a smooth, connected, and interesting domestic history:; partaking nothing of horror, astonishment, stage effect, nor even - of remarkable situations and circumstances.— There is some eccentricity displayed in the character of Mr. Listowel; and the title of the book is very well exemplified in the dis. positions and tempers of Lady Elizabeth and Nary. 'We have nothing emirs', or improbable; the events are such as may he every day-encomia. .tered in ptivute life, yet they are linked together by n chaste and pleasing description ; the lan .guage is equally removed from poverty and re. qhmdance, expressing just as much as it is intend ed to express, and no more ; the silk is easy and correct, and the tendency strictly moral. In regard to the developement of natural cha racter, much of Miss Burney's sort of genius ap pears to be exhibited :—we have but to look around us, and we behold the very beings whom the author has depicted. The scene lies in Dub• lin, and about the Lake of Killarney, which .situations afford good scope for humorous per lraiture ami national delineation. In a work' pith possesses more to gratify than to attract — here there is less of glitter than of sound sense and rational amusement—it is difficult, in making an extract, to combine with it a proportionate degree of interest ; for that which is unimportant and trilling in its detached state, may yet possess considerable merit when perused as part of a very pleasing whole. The scene between Lord Ellis. more and the Irish Abigail is well worth no tice ; for there the broad humour and ,1n of the Irish character are pleasantly displayed ; but our limits nil! not allow us a further dissertation no the merits of " Caprice," which we may safely recommend to our readers as a very sprightly, well written, and moral production, particularly as we are informed that it- comes from a female, %%hose youth, if we are rightly informed, renders it extraordinary that she should be so well ac. qualified with life, and possess so much acumen it, the discrimination and delineation of-character. THE SUN. tSMZTON FISHERIES. MR. EIIIT011 1 :1i is surprising that in a country 'so-tenacious of its civil liberties, anti the protec 'tier) of individual rightg, that such abuses should 'have existed with respect to the rights of Salmon Fisheries. So far back ns Magna Charm, v‘e find that the erection of weirs across rivers was repro. bated'in the earliest periods of our law, and were considered as pubbi e nuisances. The t mds of Magna Charts arc— "'That all weirs from henceforth shall be nt "-terly pulled tb by Thames and Medway, tt and through all I.;:n4r,land," and this limed up by subFequeot ketri treatiert tin ..public nuisances, forbidding die erection of nvw • OOPS, and the. enchancing, straitening, or ,etslarg. -lag of those which had aforesaid existed. Many recent trials may be produced wherein judgment has been. given for the plaintiff, on the grounds that gut+ , erections were public nuisances, al. though established by prescriptive use. That .Parliament should at length have taken. the sub ject under its conbideration proves the necessity .of an alteration in the law with respect to the .mwiopely of fisheries. The Report of the Select Cormnittoe on the Salmon Fisheries is before the ..public"; but as the Scotch Fisheries are princi- Tally concerned in- the investigation, it is !WOW. np•ruled by the said Committee that the Fish. .cries in England shall ho brought before it the ensuing session. I myself am aware of great abuses existing in different rivers in the North of :England. Near the mouth of the river Coquet, Northumberland, then. is a dam-head across Abe : riverwhich etTectually prevents Salmon from iw.sing above it ; the consequence is, that those p oprielots of the river above - the said darn are deprived bOth of the profit and amusement of ,fishing. The exclusive right of establishing a 'Sallnort Fishery is claimed on the grounds of some old grant, tchich, if it ever eiisted, is indictable ns a public nukance. All rivers should be open ; ...for a moan claiming the exclusive right of Nht'rY ~ from the source to the mouth of the river (which -river passing through different properties, not not belonging - to him) might 'its well claim the .produce on the whole of its banks ns the whole -of the fish in its course. * * * *, `l'll Nov • COM LT.-4111S interesting visitor ',first became visible .to us on the 27th July, at 13h. 56m. and appeared in the constellation Her cules, near the Z.

FILENCIT PAPERS. (F,om the F,toile, dated Sanday, 4kg. 29.) COURT NEWS. The King heard mass in his Apartments. Ills Excellency Counfde Vlllele arrived at hat( -pat, one, and transacted business with - his Majesty. At,hatf.past two his Majesty took an airing in] an open chaise",-and drove towards'St. Cloud. Ills Majesty had been advised not to hold a Court on the day of the Fête, for fearhe should undergo too much fatigue ; he answered, " A King of France may die, but he never must be ill," words entirely worthy of a great Prince. In re ceiving the diplomatic body, 'Ma 'Majesty spoke to each Ambassador separately. Ile said to Baron Vincent, who is shortly to return to .Vienna, " Baron Vincent, I em happy to see you once more." The reply which his Majesty made to the discourse at the Nuncio filled all those who heard it with surprise and admiration. The Moniteur contains an ordinance regulating the dress of the Councilloes of State.

The Suzyrafen, a Journal published at Smyrna, in French, by Europeans who do not blush to sacrifice to petty commercial interests the sacred interests of humanity, resounds with a song of triumph, in consequence of a victory gained by the Austrians, who, amidst loud cries of " Long life to the Emperor !" re-captured an Austrian cargo, which was destined for the Turks, but bad been captured by the Greeks according to their laws. The Smorden is silent, however, on the glory which the Greeks have gained at Ipsara, by their sublime disaster and their speedy vic tory. The writers in this Journal call them selves Frenchmen. (Prom the Courier Francais.) PARIS, Aug. 28.—The Governmenrs of Ger many cannot agree, it seems, as to the change to be mudel'elative to the Press, the Universities, the Police, &e. Negociations have been begun between the Governments of the second and third rank, in order to form a treaty for a free trade amongst them ; but it appears that they have not been able to agree. Some of the pro jects of Austria as to• Germany have met with un expected opposition.

His Excellency has, it is said, replied that his authority could not prevent private persons from trading in arms more than any other mar chandixe, that the revolted used for their expe dition merchant vessels belonging to private per sons ; that these last were free to take on board passengers who paid them for that purpose ; in a word, that if the Spanish Government was not advised of the project of the factious, it ought to apply to its Consul residing at Gibraltar, whose business it was to guard against what occurred in that place.—(Qqatidienne.)

The following are extracts: u xt: 30 . —The Turks of the Euripus (Negropont) lately left their fortress to come on the Continent. They had already advanced as far as the boundaries of Attica, on their way to Athens, when the Greeks observing their motions surrounded them, and made prisoners of nearly 490. A great number was killed. JirLY 3.—A report of Commandant Salaam, dated the 211th Jane, and addressed to the Director-General Mauracer dato, contains the following :—" The Commander-in-Chief of Romelia has just sent to Lianoelade, under escort of a body of troops commanded by a hey of Larissa, munitions of war destined for the campaign. On the first night after their arrival, a thunderbolt Ml on the castle where they were tleposited, wh:ch, together with 130 men, the hey, and all the munhions, was blown up. 7.—Later accounts say, that the number of Turks blown up by the said fall of the thunder-bolt, amounted to up wards of 400. Tun5TE, Auo. 12.—News from Constantinople to Nth July say, that the bay of Ipsara resembled a sea of fire. The number of Turks said to have perished on the island Is reported at 8,000. The Mussulmans are greatly irritated against the Franks for having giv e n an exaggerated account of the conquest of Ipsara. The ►:tf'air is likely to cost the Captain Paha his head. EXTUACT OP A LevrEtt mist SAMNA, DATP:D JITLY 17. " YOU will no doubt hive heard of the success of the Turkish squadron at 'Nara, which would probably ?cite; you last post, as a Tartar had got up very quickly to Constantinople. The news was not then exactly believed; it Is, however, confirmed, and we have tinily troops returning with much booty, but few or no slaves; it has been a very sanguinary battle, nearly . the whole of the ipsuriote having been cut up, with a great many women, some of whom fought bravely. The Albanian troops (about 2000) iu the service of the Greeks went over to the Turks, but they got no quarter, and were cut up to a man. The principal part of the business was over in three hours; but a few Greeks got into a Monastery, and held out neatly two days, when the Turks made a breach ; they then found it Was of no use holding out any longer, and immediately set fire to the powder magazine, and blew themselves up, with about 400 Turks that were on the spot. Several of the Greek vessels escaped, with numbers of women and children on board, anti got to the Morca. It is now reported that about 70 of the • Greek fleet have again refitted, and coins out with a determi nation of attacking the - Turkish fleet on their approach to Samos, 'Which is to be the next island they attack. This will also be a very sanguinary business, as Turkish troops have crowded in from all quarters, principally passing by this place to assemble at Scalanuova, supposed to the amount of nearly too,ooo. The loss of the Turks at Ipsara is calculated at about 1200, and nearly 2000 wounded. The Greeks have now be. come desperate, and it is said are in Nigh spirits in the Morea, waiting the arrival of the fleet of Mchmet Ali Pasha of Egypt, which it appears is to:attack them with a large force of dis. ciplined troops. Every thing perfectly tranquil here." AMSTERDAM, At; o. 2fl.—According to the accounts whicl, we have: received from Smyrna and Constantinople, and also by way of Italy, no doubt remains of the truth of the news com municated through us of the destruction of all the Turks who had landed at Ipeara. It appears from the reports, that the blowing up of the fort of vSt. Nicol° destroyed most of the. Turks who were about the fort ; that the Greek fleet, of 04 sail, sent by the Govern ment from Newli di Romania to the aid_ of Ipsara, attacked the Turkish fleet, and it is positively stated the result was, that ori gun-boats, eight sloops, a corvette, and three frigates, were taken or burnt, or otherwise destroyed; that the Commander of the Turkish fleet, favoured--by the wind, fled to hlltylene ; that on the subsegtieut landing of the Greeks at Ipsara, allothe Turkish garrison was put to the sword; so that the Greeks re mained In posssession of the island. The Greek fleet then sailed in search of the C4ipitan _Pacha. It is further said that the Greeks had landed on the Isle of Chios, and that all the Turks in the vill ge of Wollina were killed. The bravery of the heroes of Ipsara is unparalleled.; even the women took part in the combat, with the same cool ness and bravery. The number of Turks who perished Is esti mated at 2:1,000. Accounts are Impatiently expected of a second meeting with the remainder of the Turkish fleet, which, it is not doubted, will be to the advantage of the Greeks. The ardour with which they are inspired is a sure presage to victory. ' We learn from Coda chat the report which had been circu lated that the captain racha would go from Ipsara to attack Samos, was a mere feint to deceive. the weeks. The Turks, proud of their temporgy success, had conceived a bolder plan, that of attempting the conquest of the important island of Hydra, which is du: centre of all the naval force of the Greeks. however, the Capitan Pacha being aware of the important means of defence which secures Hydra from a coup da cloth., and knowing that the troops which compose the garris i on are all natives, has shewn much hesitation-in his conduct; for, at the departure of the last courier, who brought dispatches to the English Vovernnaent in the lonian Islands, the Ottoman Ad. miral was still off Mitylene, where he expected the Egyptian squadron which was to leave Candia to jinn him. The Turks having massacred the traitors who delivered up to them the post which was confided to them in the Isle of Ipsara, will be a great obstacle to the success of the attempts which-the agents of the Cupitan Pacha may make to corrupt the Albanian Chiefs in the other Islands of the Archipelago.

" Saz nxa, Jut.a 20.—You must no doubt have heard of the destruction of Ipsara by the Turkish fleet. The event has caused great lICIUM,IOII here. The place was consider ...4i to be ono of the bulwarks of the Greek cause, and impregnable. It was taken with comparatively no difficulty. The first impress clan w a s, that the Greeks had scarcely offered ,any resistance, but which appears not to have been the ease, as the remnant of the garrison, after fighting from thernorning of the aid until five P. m. of the 4th, tired the magazine of the convent into which they had retreated, and overwhelmed their enemies in their own destruction. 'rho Turkish Joe* is computed.at 6or 8000 men, but which may be much exaggerated ; of the Greeks very few Escaped, not more than 500, and very law wdinen, who fought with the men, and destroyed thanielves when they saw all was lost; twentyawo Greek vcssels of all the Ipsariot fleet have escaped, but with scarcely sufficient people on board to nevi gate them. " Thu next object of attack is said to be Samoa, which cannot retast die immense force directing again►t it. Turks of all de itcriptiuns are leaving their occupations, and pouring into Scala nuovara by thousands, expecting to iairich themselves by the plunder. The plunder at Ipsaru appeani to have been consider able chiefly in specie. " I fear that the Greek cause is fast drawing to an unfortu- nate end. The Paella of Egypt has inepumd an immense, and very well -appointed foetus to, proceed to the slorea. There ate reporbi of its having arrived. " The fleets of Ilydra and Spezzia are out, but cannot op poet the Turkish and ggy.ptain squadrons. Smyrna is per fcctly tranquil, notwithstanding the constant passage of troops. " P.S. Advice* have just leached here of the Greek fleet, 72 vessels, having landed 4,000 men at .Ipsara, and having dc. feared the Turkish garrison there; it is also said that they embarked inardediately, and proceeded to Samos to wait for the Turks." • (EXTRACT OF ANOTHER LETTER.) " SMYRNA, JULY 17.—The various contradictory reports respecting Ips.ara prevented our entering into detail« for which we could not vouch. The Capitan Paella, with about 200 sail of vessels of all sizes, atter the Ipsariots refused his assent to treat, made his long threatened attack upon the Island, by land. ing 15,000 men at day-light on the id Instant, who, in a very few hours, overcame all resistance. Almost 2,000 persons, chiefly women and children, escaped in 15 of their vessels. Of the few that were left, few or no prisoners were made, and the carnage on both sides must have been great. " The Capitan Pacha has actually sent back many of the nu. merous volunteers flocking to lila standard, saying his antra. meat • was sufficiently strong for the intended attack upon Samos, and the other Greek Islands.' rhey were at Alitylene a few days ago, whence they sent home for all the small vessels the Paella of Smyrna can procure. It iszeported the Pacha of Egypt's fleet has taken Hydra anti Spezzia, and that all the Islands offer to return to their allegiance to the Grand Seignor.

Let that melanCholy event occur when It may, it will probably occasion no change in the policy of France, nor in the com position and spirit of the French Cabinet. IW. ne Vir.r.t.r,r. is in fact the Minister of the suc cessor to the throne; and the continuance of his system of government may therefore be regarded as certain. The present King of FIIANCE will leave behind him the memory of a reign, and of private virtues, which have only been stained by the iniquity of the Spanish invasion, by the duplicity and had faith which preceded that outrageous aggression on the rights and territory of a great and unoffending nation, and by the calamities to which that unpro voked outrage has given birth. The Monarch who really deserved the glorious distinction of being called the 'Pacificator of France has, therefore, under the pretext of seeking for the title of the Pacificator of Spain, thrown that ill fated country into a state of irretrievable confu- Sion and irremediable misfortune,—has endan gered the, future tranquillity and prosperity of France herself,—and has sown in the Peninsula the possible germ of convulsions, revolutions, and wars throughout all Enrope. The advices from all quarters, including Con stantinople itself, received not only throu g h th e medium of the French Papers, but in this c o u n t ry direct, all concur in stating that the Greeks h ave re-captured Ipsara,—that the original d e f ence of that island by its inhabitants was most heroic, that the last great action of its self-devoted defenders was to Involve themselves and mul. titudes of their barbarous enemies in a COOL.
