The article gives as to understand that he will shortly be tried. " If," it says, "he is ac quitted, the Commission of Mentz will cause him to be set at liberty instantly ; if the contrary, he must expect the legal punishment according to the degree of culpability. In the first case, it Ivould doubtless be a subject of regret that an unhappy event should deprive of liberty a learned man of some merit, and distract him from his studies ; but it is an occurrence which must be expected, when a man becomes an object of suspicion from his dangerous connections, acid from', numerous circumstances."

We have received the Allgcmcine Zeitung dated the Ist instant, from which we extract the following article, containing another version of the actions between the Greek and Turco- Egyptian fleets. It is manifest, even from this report, that the CAPTAIN PAcUA's fleet has been almost entirely destroyed, and that the Egyptian squadron has also suffered great loss, and been Otherwise solnuch crippled, that its Commander has resolved on leaving the waters of Greece, and returning to Alexandria. MARSEILLES, Nov. 18. According to the latest accounts from the Le vant, th e Egyptian fleet have not by any means suffered such extensive losses as was stated in Preceding reports. The following particulars are laid to be correct. When the Egyptian fleet after the action of the 10th Sept. had left its station at Ileudroun to follow the Captain Paella to Samos, Ibrahim Pacha ordered his transports, of which he could not make any immediate use, to sail down the Bay of Stanchio as far as Kossidek, and caused the troops which had suffered much by sickness to go on shore and take up a camp along the coast. The transports, which had on board a great quantity of military stores, ammunition, and valuable effects, were got into the harbour. At the entrance of the Bay, Ibrahim Pacha left a division of eight men of War, which have not since quitted their station. The rest of the fleet accompanied him, and he lost some vessels in the actions which took place in the coarse of September; but the beginning of October t he fleet was still together, with the exception of "le greatly damaged ships which put back into t he Bay of Stanchio. Ibrahim (who it thus ap- P e ars was far from being taken prisoner) re ceived at this time a letter from the Sultan, an nouncing his appointment to the chief command of the T urkish and Egyptian fleets, by which t he complaints which he had made were re • medied. The Capitan Pacha was at the same time summoned to Constantinople. On the sth of October Ibrahirn took upon him the command of the united fleets, which p did not appeueto be agreeable to the subaltern ru rldsh Commanders. Be was on the point of making several new regulations when the Gr eeks; unexpec t e dly a tt a ck e d hirn on the 6th. ; t he Egyp t i an s hi ps d e f en d e d th em s e lv e s, but Il e Turks fled and sought refuge in the re t o 111 of Mityleue, where several of their ships were destroyed in the night of the 7th by Greek fire-ships. Ibrahim did not arrive in time to save them. The Greeks then turned against him, and used their fire-ships with such effect, that on the 10th of October several Egyp- tian ships were burnt. This was in a manner the signal for the dispersion of the Egyptian fleet, yet , the Commander succeeded in assembling the greater part of them, and returning with them to the entrance of the Gulf of Stanchio, where the transports and the division of the fleet left for their protection joined him, and all set sail to return to Alexandria. The Greeks pursued him. Those Egyptian ships of war which were separated from the fleet are palely taken, and partly have escaped to Candia ; those Turkish ships which were not burnt, or greatly damaged, on the 7th October, left the Itarbour of Alitylene, and returned into the Dar danelles. •'There is not any truth in the rumour that the Earl of LIVERPOOL intends to retire from Office ; but we believe that the Marquis of WELLESLEY will succeed the Earl of linallowT as President of the Council. The intention of remunerating those .wlio•4ost their property during the horrors of the . French Revolution is an act of justice that ought to have been the subject of consideration at an early pe riod since the return of the Bourbons to the throne of France. Many of those victims to that dreadful outrage on mankind, have perished . under the axe of democratical tyranny, .riiany were driven into exile, and many are doubtless, at this moment, pining in indigence and obscurity. The only fault of these victims of injustice, cruelty, and oppression, was their devotion to the Altar and the Throne. It was therefore the duty of the late King of FaANce to suggest and to promote some means of relief to the unfortunate and innocent victims, if entire indemnity cannot be awarded. Indeed, it would be absurd to expect that ample justice can be rendered to those who suffered under the spolia tions of the usurpers that obtained a temporary ascendancy over the State ? but the Government of France should interpose and extend all prac ticable .relief to those who suffered for their loyalty. A great part of the landed property confiscated by the usurpers under ,the name of NATIONAL DOMAINS, have passed into other hands. Some, no doubt, were purchased at a fait.valuatlon, and others were the reward of treachery, and revolutionary turpitude. The purchasers ought not of course to be. divested of what they paid for, but yet they ought to make some sacrifice to the injured, parties, and the lat ter also must admit, that as the nation itself suffered under revolutionary hoirors, it was im possible 'foi:individuals to escape without injury in a general convulsion of the State. The KING, whose departure we yesterday an nounced, arrived at Windsor to dinner. The Duke of YORK returned to town yester day afternoon. Yesterday the Duchess of GLOUCESTER took an airing, and received visits in the course of the day from, the Duke of Youx, the Princess So- PRIA, the Princess VITTORIA, and the Princess FEODORE. Yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, the whole of the Cabinet Ministers in town assembled at the Secretary of State's Office for Foreign Affairs, and sat in deliberation for three hours. The Prince de POLIGNAC, French Ambassa dor in this country, will, it is said, proceed to France in short time. We understand that a deputation of West India Proprietors had an interview with the Earl of LIVERPOOL yesterday, at Fife Honse, to re quest his sanction of an application to his Ma jesty's Government to permit Distillation from Sugar. They' were also to communicate the amount of the Subscriptions to the New West India Company, which is said to be no less than 4,000,0001.—( New Times.) A BallOf took place yesterday at Lloyd's for the election of five new Members of the Com mittee of that Establishment, hi the room of five 'others who . go 'out by rotation, when the follow ing Gentlemen were elected, viz.--Mr. WILLIAM PRATT, jun., Mr. WILLIAM WHITMORE, jun., Mr. JOHN BUCK, Mr. JAMES LINDSAY, jun., and Mr. ROBERT DEWAR. We are happy to find that the subscriptions for the relief 'of the sufferers by inundations, both in Germany and England, go on very suc cessfully. The Earl of ROMNEY has given fifty pounds In aid of the Charity Schools in Maidstone. EARTHQUAKE IN ENGLAND.—At about two o'clock on Monday afternoon, the shock 'of an earthquake wit, ,felt at Portsmouth and in its neighbourhood,. as well as at Chichester and Hayling Island. • It was very sensibly felt by many at the lower end of the Point at Portsmouth, by the Custinn-house, but more particularly at Kingstone Cross:. The convulsion was so'great there, that the::family of a ,Mr. Piddle was so alarmed that they feared their residence would be rased to the . ground. The plates and dishes . were all [(lngle-, such articles as were ins pended moved as a pendulum' of a clock, and, indeed every thing in the. house was iu great agitation. GRAND FETE AT BUSHY PARK. On Tuesday night the Duke and Duchess of CtattENGE gave a grand entertainment at their mansion, in Bushy Park, in honour of the' birth-day of the Princess Feodore, the eldest daughter of the - Duchess of 'Kent. The party con sisted of 'about three hundred, among whom were some of the principal Nobility and Gentry, including the Duchess of Kent, the Princess Feodore, several foreigners of distinction, the Earl of Cassillis and . family, the Hon. Mrs. Hope, the Mar chioness of Westmeath, Earl and Countess of Errol, Sir Andrew and Lady Halliday, Lord G. Seymour, Mr. Arthur Seymour, Misses 'Fitzclarence, Misses Seymour, the Hon. B. Paget, and several of the'OfEcers of the 7th iegiment of dra goons, who are quartered at Hampton Court, &c. &c. Pre parations were made several days previous for the occasion.— ' The awning in front of the Mansion was brilliantly illu minated ; over it was placed a splendid star. The balcony Was illuminated ; over it was G. R. the 4th, in variegated lamps ; inside the awning was also a display of variegated lamps. A frame was placed in the centre window of the Grand Saloon, in which was a considerable number of lumps, which reflected a most brilliant light into the interior. The Hall and the whole of the Mansion were most splendidly illuminated with lamps of variegated colours, wax ligiuS, &c. The com pany began to arrive about ten o'clock. They were received by the Royal Duke and Duchess in the most affable and con descending manner, accompanied by the Duchess of Kent, and the Princess Feodore. A band was stationed in a tempo rary orchestra, in the Grand Saloon, which had been prepared for the Ball, the floor of which had been chalked with the Royal Arms, G. R., and a Star, with various appropriate devices.— in most of the splendid State apartments were placed choice plants and exotics. At eleien o'clock the band struck up a most delightful Quadrill; which was commenced by the Princess Feodore and the Earl of Errol. The merry dance continued till one o'clock, when the grand dining-room was opened, and a most sumptuous princely banquet was displayed. There was a most 'splendid display of plate 'on the tables and sideboards. The principal table was in the form of a horse shoe, at which their Royal Highnesses presided; and entertain ed their numerous and distinguished guests with every de licacy that could be procured. There was a great profusion of pines, grapes, the most delicious ices, &c. The whole of this extansiVe entertainment was arranged and conducted by Mr. Law, the Royal Duke's Steward. Every thing was managed with the greatest order and regularity ; not the least confusion occurred, although such a very numerous assemblage was col lected on the occasion. After supper, dancing was resumed' which was kept up with great spirit till near 4 o'clock. • • 4 , • ,; - • .1 P • , t1e,.;1 1 :4V 4 4. • . 4 I) ‘' k: .1... • • , —"Rub"; • FAS!! lONABLE ARRIVALS.

" Why, a gentleman in crossing that terrible place at the end of the street has put out his leg." This was quite enough ; a steeple chase ensued, and in 10 minutes they all returned breathless. 44 There is no acci dent !" " We can't find anyone I" " The man has been removed !" burst at once from the disap pointed Doctors. "Why, probably," said Charles ) " the man removed himself." " Oh, that's im possible where a leg was broken." 44 A leg broken," returned BANNISTER," who heard but yourselves any thing of a broken leg ?—I said, a gentleman in crossing the kennel had put his leg out, and how the Devil can a man cross a kennel without ?"

FRAUD PUNISIIED.-011 Wednesday last, in the Justice Of Peace Clerk's Office, at GlasgoW, a woman, resi dent in Stockwell-street, was tried on a charge of fraud brought by the Glasgow Agency Pawn-broking Company against her, for having altered two duplicates which she had re ceived from them. The prisoner had, on the 6th of August, last, sent another woman to pledge a counterpane fa her, on which she received four shillings, and she had altered the ticket from four shillinsg to one shilling, with intent to defraud the Company of 3s. It further appeared that on the llth September last she sent the woman to pledge for her a pelisse cloth, , on which was lent 55., the ticket for which she altered front ss. to tls. with intent to defraud the Company out of additional 3s. and that she presented these tickets at the office of the Company. —The Worthy Magistrate stated that he was authorised by the law to send the prisoner to Bridewell for three months, but as it was the earnest request of the Company's agent that he would deal leniently, he would sentence her only to 14 days' imprisonment in the Tolbooth of the city of Glasgow. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—SICAITINO.—'rho weather for the last three days having been intensely cold, owing to a smart frost, the Park was yesterday crowded with pedestrians, intent on keeping their blood in motion. Unfortunately three young men, anxious to avail themselves of the slight coat of ice of which the pound was but partially covered, most impru dently proceeded to enjoy the amusement of coursing over the glassy surface, when the skaites of one of them loosened. He fell, was immediately precipitated into the water, and instantly disappeared. The other young men flew to his assistance, and were near sharing the fate of their unfortunate companion, both having fallen into the water, without being able to save him. Two officers of the 7th Highlanders, who chanced so be near the spot, procured ropes, which were made to extend across the " pond, and had the ice broken for a considerable distance, but unhappily without effect, as the body never rose after it first dis appeared. It is impossible to do justice to the humane activity and exertions of the two officers upon this melancholy occasion, when they so fully proved how closely humanity is allied to tore bravery. The unfortunate sufferer was Mr. Keatinge, of No. 23, Strand-street, aged about 11l years.—(Dablim Paper.) ll DROPHOBI A.—The following circumstance took place a short time past :—A young man was bit by his own favourite dog, which naturally ex cited alarm. He had the dog tied up, and sent for a dog doctor, who declared him to be mad from a variety of symptoms. The man had im mediately the bitten part cut out of his arm, and Sir ASTLEY COOPER was called in, who ordered the dog to be opened. On doing this, there was found in his stomach a halfpenny worn to a very inconsiderable size, which had led to the disease of the dog. Sir ASTLEY had a deeper incision made in the man's arm, and the patient remains in very low spirits until the final result is known. Fl RE.—Yesterday evening an alarm prevailed that the extensive pottery belonging to Mr..Wis ker, near Vauxhall-bridge, Lambeth, was on fire. The occurrence, it appears, took place in consequence of one of the furnaces being ac. cidentally overheated, when the flames com municated to some timber in the building, which soon broke forth into a blaze, and burnt for some time. However, imme. diate assistance being at hand, the flames were speedily subdued by the workmen, with out the premises sustaining any material in jury. A number of firemen and engines promptly arrived on the spot to prevent the devouring ele ment extending its ravages, had their services been required. AccinENT.---Yeaterday morning, about half past g o'clock, as the groom of - Portman, Esq., M.P.p . was leading a va l ua bl e horse from the stable to a farrier's shop in the vicinity, the animal slipped into the kennel, and broke Its poor,beast re m ained there nearly an fore a person arrived to put an end to its hour r b the sufferings. We understand that the horse was ;one of the most valuable in the stud of Mr. Peanut% who valued it at 300 guineas. WESTMINSTEaSCHOOL PLAY. Last night the young Gentlemen of 'Westmin ster School enacted TERENCE'S Play of Phormio to a crowded audience of the friends of the mas ters and scholars, among whom we observed the Bislqop of London, the Earl of Aberthwn, and several other persons of distinction. it would be needless at this time of day to poiut out the in congruity (which is at once so obvious and so easily ridiculed) of representing a Roman play, especially as a school exercise, without endeavour ing to imitate the Roman costume and other - dramatic appendages, us well as to rehearse a Roman dramatic dialogue. Last night there was no change or improvement in this respect. The two slaves, Danis and Geta, were dressed like fashionable EngliSh velets of the 19th century; with shoulder-knots, plush smallclothes, and cocked hats—Antipho and Phwdrio like fashion able beaux going to a ball—Phorntio in a ‘rhite beaver, Wellington pantaloons, and coloured handkerchief, like a dandy of the tirst water —the two old Gentlemen like the money making citizens who keep possession of the Stages of Covent-Garden and Drury-Lane— the three laWyers in English gowns and wigs— and Sophrona with a bonnet and feathers, a scarf, and reticule. With the exception of the costume, and the arrangements of the stage, we were highly pleased with the entertainment which the young Gentlemen of Westminster last night offered to their friends. They all seemed to be thoroughly penetrated with the spirit of the piece —they all appeared to feel perfectly the force of every humorous turn or allusion in the dialogue—they all seemed to comprehend the claims of their dra matic situations ; and four or five of them displayed very considerable power and skill in supporting their parts. Dunlop, who acted Geta, was the favourite- of the evening. Ile had a great deal to do, and he did every thing with much spirit and talent. Ilis manner of supporting some parts of his character was so arch, skilful, and na- tural, that it would have entitled him to con• siderable applause on any stage. Next to him, Phillimore, as Phormio, obtained the most cor• dial and most unanimous approbation. The young gentlemen who represented AntOto (Jeff. revs) and Nansitrata (Heath) likewise evinced considerable power in supporting the spirit of their parts, and were deservedly applauded.— The Prologue, which contained nothing very striking, was well repeated by Littledale, the . Captain of the School. The Epilogue was a more laboured and a more happy attempt to please and amuse the audience. The parasite Phormio returns on the stage with a mass of projects in his hands, accompanied by (Armes and . Demipho, who demand their money. He tells them that he will be able to pay them from the fruits of some of those numerous schemes ; and then give a humorous list of those which have been started within the last year—docks, roads, canals, bridges, Macadamization, mining enter. prises, tunnels, and lust, the great ship Columbus, a large picture of which is exhibited on the stage. In the dialogue and description to which these projects give rise, there are interspersed several jokes and puns, which, if not very relined, are very laughable. SPORTING. A FINE FOX CHASE. Emmert:ix, Dec. 7.-:-The East Sussex fox-hotinds, and a splendid field, met at iVestminster, near Stamper Park, yester. day, where they threw off and carefully drew the gorse; but, not finding, they diverged to Westminster-wrxxl, below the hill. In the wood, two foxes, at one and the same instant, were pre sently unkennelled, one of which broke towards the south, and the other in a northern direction. The dogs would. have took to the latter, but were checked off; exceptin two couple and an half, but which were eventually stopped E by the whipper.in. The northern fox, in despite of the eifints used to compel hits, would not break cover ; in about twenty minutes, therefore, the forfeit of his obstinacy was paid with Iris life. The pack was now laid on upon the other wiley animal, which had Wien cover to the south, and melodious and inspiring. was sheLlitsp. which made the welkin ring the instant afterwards. WIM hearti light, spirits buoyant, and steeds in lively -aelitor4 l)itchling Bostic was now crossed, Smarm Hi* ihishe*, over, and on to Clayton and Clayton Holt.

The depth of his ,retreat precluding digging as . unavailing; disappointment increased. its gloom, and the - dogs were tak .n off; the latter Movement; however, had scarcely proclaimed the admitted death of hope, when the fox suddenly exhibited his brush within two hundred yards of the dogs. " Tally-ho I" was now the simultane:ous • and delighted cry; and a more interesting and beautirid burst in view was never enjoyed. Reynard t as in triumph, boldly took a direction for Horst l passing through Dannywoods and Stonestaple, and then leaving Hurst on his left,' pursued a cir cular course, and eventually reached his forrper earth; hut, as his metal was up, he scorned the inviting refttge, and posile t j for Newtimber, and thence dashed for Poynings Park. ,Here he beat the pack; for not a glimpse could be obtained of him afterwards. During the chase, which had been merrily continued for one hour anti thirty-five minutes, a severe acci dent occurred to the Rev.
