CONITINTINOPLy, the Wth of September the Porte sent to Jassy the most pre cise orders that the evacuation should not be any longer delayed, the epuratiox of .the persons protected drawing to a close. - On the S7th of September 400 Austrian subjects were already -examined. M. Minziacky is here at present only as Imperial Commissioner for the Russian trade and navigation. He will not assume the character of Charge d'Affaires of Russia till the evacuation shall have been completed and made known. No change has yet l , een made in the Ministry. The !leis Effendi retells% his situation. A •great de spondency it observed in all the Musselmans ; Tartars, who have arrived within these two days from the Mussel►nen camp, in Thessaly, have brought the news of a defeat experienced by the near Larissa, in which they are stated to have suffered g,-)at loss, including two Pachas. The mariti►ne news is not more favourable to the Porte, The united fleets of Constantinople and Egypt hare quitted their posttion off Stanchio, and ar.- !':ved Oil the September in the channel of Scio.' They have suffered severely by bad weather. The European vessels, which had Egyptian troops on board, have for the most part . sailed for Candle. The remainder are at Bow. ()mufti.

PA ors, Nov. 3.—Some journals, on the • authority of an paper, have stated "that a new tax has been lately laid en . foreign.engravingiimported into - France, and that three copies were kept by the Custom-house officer for the Directors elite Library. The facts wet forth are incorrect, as are, the conscltiencts deduced from them. The truth is, that pursuant to4tl t:IsW of the 25th March, and of the ordinance Of May 0,44 one proof of every engraving or lithographic print is *tea at the disposal Of the library, to servo for a copy, and another proof, on which the authorisation is inseribed, is transmitted tux deposant. This formality-once satisfied is not v rated when other copies are sent. It -will be seen, therefore, that ,a deposit of three proofs is out of the question. It has near been customary. It may also be 'reniarked, that foreign cornmerce has not to support the charge .of depositing live coPies, , which, however; is imposed on the productions of Fr•ttclt artists by the eighth article of the Ordidance of Octo h.T 21, 1824, issued in .consequence of the lawpassed in the Audi a month. 'His Majesty the King of Naples, wishing to recompense the often proved fidelity of the City of Aquila, has' just or. that the Prince Don Louisfle Bourbon, fifth son of his Real Bighnesa the Bake q.Catabria, and brother of the Dorhess,of Berry, shall, ip future, -Wu the title of Count d' .t All the letters which arrive from Corfu and the other - lonian Lies beyond doubt, a, great battle to have taken place on t! , 4rr t4ept.cmber, in the: icinity of Patmos. The Egyp. tieu fleet then-received Its soup de grace. Waiting for the offi. ciat accounts to tnake known this new triumph of the soldiers of Christ-ethey have publi.shed authentic details of the battle of titeAth ofSeptember. The slaughter was great in the extreme. ne - 'Smeice produced by the fire.shiPs of the Greeks was so. thielc, that the two fleets were mingled 'lbr some time. One Greek division distinguished itself by consummate intrepidity. Admiral .Miptlis saw himself' sur.rounded by many Turkish ve,..sels, which (blotted with each other the honour of taking so %pleriiiitt a prize. Na himself not believing it possible to escape, prepared,to blow up his ship, in the hope of involving thexnerny in his ruin.; but. twenty-four Christian vessels ar rived in hill sail, extricated him, and pUt the barbarians to flight. After the battle, the English and Austrian officers came on board to the Admiral, and entreated him to spare the lives of the Christians whom he had taken in the Egyptian vessels, and• strongly pressed him to send them to the Greek po vcrnmentit Napoli di Romania. As to the ships themselves, the munitions, baggage; dee. the officers admitted, that the Ad. ntiral had incontestably the right to dispose of them as he pinased. The brave Miaulis• replied to them, " Fear nothing ; I consent to spare these Christians, though they have unwor thily violated towards us the.rightsof nations, and the holy laws of our religion." In-conclusion, to satisfy their minds, •he shewed them two hundred and fifty Turks whom he had just taken, and whoni he was going to send safe andvell to Napoli di Itornania. The news of the capture of the son of the Vice. "Y of Egypt, and, of his Admiral, Ismael Gibraltar, appears to be confirmed. ( From ?h. Constillitionnel of Friday.) .:%faDatri, 00T. 28.—Private letters of this date say, that the resolution of the' French 'Government to withdraw its troops from the Peninsula, except• from the fortified places, wasknown on the 15th al/member.

AARCELOXA, OCT. 26.—The following article was pub. -fished by the Governor of the town of Vich, in the Journal of this town of the 2let When I was appointed Governor of Vich, I did not conceal from myself the great difficulties which circumstances imposed on me in fulfilling my duty. Every where in my district there were bloodshed, burnings, and mi sery of every species, the fruit of the revolution. But seeing among the inhabitants many Royalists, I thought it my duty to engage them to bestir themselves, and prevent the impious race of the Literals from destroying every thing, and exterminating all honest men, as is proved to be their object at Alineira and Tarifa. There are only two parties in Spain—the one Royalist, the other Liberal; the one Catholic, honest, just, and pacific— the other heretical, perverse, unjust, and disturbers of public or der. There is no middle term between .these extremes. Neutra lity and indifference are unpardonable crimes in the eyes of the King and the country. Let us resolve, therefore, to take arms against our enemies and hear the voice of our Sovereign, who, full of confidence, wishes to place arms in the hands of the Royalists, organised into corps. Ile places in your hands his safety, and the tranquillity of the country, the persecution of the wicked, and the continued surveillance of the Constitutionalists, the observance and the reporting of their places of meeting, and .finally, the punishment of their impudence. Do not trust those who wish to keep you out of the ranks of the Royalist vo. lunteers. I order the Alcaldes to publish this at a public meet ing, or some festival to which all the men aged from 18 to 40 years shall be summoned, whose zeal they are to excite; they are then to send me an account of all those who desire to join the companies of the Royal Volunteers. (Signed) ." DIMIONT.'" " ,Vich, October 13, 1024." ( From the Courier Francais.) VITTORIA, OCT. 26..—(Extract of a Lettex.)—There is not a week passes but our intendant of police receives orders from the Inquisitor General Rufeno Gonzales, and of such a nature as to make the people believe his object is to beget regret for the loss of the proper Chief of the Holy Office. The ban just published, to compel all the inhabitants to give up their arms, while the Nobles and the Royal Volunteers were allowed to retain theirs, has produced among the Nobles much discontent, because the Police will not recognise as Nobles any except those who have given proofs of their devotedness to the cause of the King. Although most of the Nobles are at present Exalt4s, they only chewed tlieir loyalty when the country was occupied by the auxiliary army. In this unhappy country, things have come to such a pass, that prosecutions and vexa dons are exercised against the Blancos as against the Negros. The Alcalde of Barriobruto, accused, though a Royalist, of having meetings at his house, has been arbitrarily condemned by the Intendant of the Police to a line of SW ducats. Hay refined to pay till the affair was settled by the proper tri. bunal, he has been sent to prison, and has been informed that he shall not be allowed to leave it until he has paid at least 300 ducats. hlr.—, a rich Cur 4 of this province, at very good Royalist, has just paid a fine of 30 ducats, because he had spoken to some ecclesiastics, who have been punished for their opinions. Being at church praying, a Negro Cure placed himself on his knees near him. This was also a crime, and another fine of 59 ducats was imposed. It is not to be believed that all these sentences are dictated by zeal,—they are often the result of private interest. The functionaries receive no salaries, and they endeavtur to pay themselves by imposing fines on those who are able to pay them. PARIS, Nov. s.—Sir Charles Stewart set out to-day for London. The German mail has not arrived, which is attributed to the overflowing of some rivers. ( From the slournal dcs Debats.) PARIS., NOV. 6.—Yesterday the Archbishop of Paris cele brated Mess in Notre Dame. The'pews were occupied by se. veral members of the carps municipal, none of whom were:in costume ; they wished to repair, without derogating from an august authority, to the altar of that God who gives good' Kings. 'rhe.prayers of all seemed animated by gratitude, and after they were finished, each one returned to his duty, thus re plying by a profound submission to the intentions which are re spected by all France.

A part of the Egyptian transports fled, as is well known, to Boudrouni ; the Egyptian ships of war united with the Captain Paella, are, since the battles of the 10th and 23d, of which an account has been already given, off Mitylene.

FRANCrowe, Oc T. - 30.—Letters from the frontiers of Italy say that the Convention made by Sir F. Adam with the Greek Government will, it is hoped, put un end to all differences on the subject of neutral +vessels fhighted for the use of the Turks. The Greeks have consented toadopt the principles generally followed by the maritime nations of Europe. All such ships may be detained, and provisionally put under sequestration ; but an impartial Greek Court of Admiralty must decide on the legalityor illegality of the capture, anti no neutral ship shall he considered as a good prize, till it has been condemned by a Court dilly authorised. Though Sir F. Adam, of course, only agreed- on the part di Englund, yet a these principles are adopt ed by all oakum, none can complain, if . the (4 ( 4 8 ou r , to tlie Frankibrt Papas, Oct. 31.) • THE GREEKS. PORTSMOUTH, Noy. 00-....0n Thursday his Ma jesty's sloop Dispatet,lo, Captain EDWARD U. SCOTT, ar, rived from Smyrna, Tante,' Naples, and Gibraltar, with db patches. The intelligence she brings is fully confirmatory o the successes of the Greeks during tbapast summer, by which they consider Their independence is certain. The Dispertela was released from quarantine this morning. The following is an extract from a letter we have received -- ‘IVIOTHEILBANK., Nov. 6.—The Dispatch havinig been much employed in the Archipelago, I am enabled to give you a few factsrelative to the struggle of the Greeks for independence, which must prove gratifying. The Greeks having foru nsttly received the loan which was raised for them.early in the summer, they were enabled in June to commence opera. tions, and they have since been successful at almost every point. The Captain Paella, having.determiaed to attack the Isle of Samoa, with the Turkish fleet, he for that purpose embarked a large number of troops in transports, and as. metaled a much larger force on the shores of the main land, to the southward of Smyrna, immediately opposite to that island. The daring Greek Admiral, Canereo, ever on the watch, attacked them with his tire-ships before they could reach the island ; but not being able to get at them with his larger ships, he was successful in burning a sixty-gun ship (on two decks), a frigate and a brig, and the Captain Pacha's ship narrowly escaped the same fate. The Greek fleet, at the same timeogot among the Turkish transporta • and destroyed fifty of them, principally by running them down, in which mur derous work, no quarter being given, about eight thousand Turkish soldiers were drowned. The remainder of the Turk ish army. who were encamped on shore, hearing the fate of the expedition, became refractory, disorganised, and ultimately returned to their homes, taking with them their arms, and I committing every excess on the defenceless 'inhabitants. The Capitan Pacha, after this defeat, went on to the Idle of Stantia, to meet the Egyptian fleet, under Illahoinet All Pacha, who was coming up from Rhodes. The Greek fleet still fol. lowed, and though much inferior In force, attacked them, and took a frigate, and twenty-live transports. Subsequent infor mation received at Zente, on the 111th of September, by Sir F. Stoven, states, that in a second attack, four more Turkish frigates were destroyed. The Egyptian fleet of transports did not include one Linglisit vessel ; there were a few Maltese, but the principal number were Austrian ships. • 'While the Greeks were thus successful on their waters, they stood in a no less prosperous state on shore. No decided attempt was made on the land side, excepting upon Athens. Goorah commanded and maintained his post most valiantly. • Ody. seos (commonly called by the Greeks Ulysses) commanded more in advance, and lie signally defeated the Mussulmen at Marathon and Salona. The Turkish fleet, thtis defeated, and thwarted in all their endeavours, are at anchor on the coast of Asia Minor. Our squadron in the Archipelago consists of the Sybille frigate, Captain S. J. Pechell, C. 8., and the Medina, eighteen guns, Captain C. M. Walker.— The latter ship had got on shore in the Dardanelles, but by great perseverance she was saved, and had been taken to Athens. Plitt of the lonian squadron, consisting of the Tribune frigate, Captain Guion, and the Weaele, 10, Captain T. Curtis, had taken Sir Frederick Adam, to remonstrate with the Greek Authorities at Cerigo, on some Proclamations whieli they had issued, and which appears to have been done only to deter our ships from assisting the Greeks, without the least intention of acting hostilely towards the British flag. Sir Frederick was ,completely successful in his remonstrance, and had returned to Corfu. 'The Tribune subsequently went to Athens to assist the Medina.—The Tribune, Euryalus, Rose, and Martin, are. to leave the station shortly, and return to England.—Sir harry Neale was lying at Naples on the lith Oct.- with The Revenge, Seringapatam, and Sparrowhawk.— The Naiad was spoke offSartlinia on the 12th Oct., going with a message to Algiers.

She touched a t Bahia on . the 7th of Sep tember; and arrived at Pernambuco three days before it fell into the hands of the Brazilian forces. In standing into the port, the Brazen was fired at severa l dates by a scheoner: at anchor there, , and one shot. struck, but did not do much damage. The Tweed, it was understood, was to cruise on that station for three months, and then rejoin the Rear. Admiral, after which they expected to be sent round Cape Horn. The Cambridge, Briton, Tartar, and Mersey, -were on the Chilean side of the Continent; the Aurora, it was thought was coming home with a very large freight ; the Doris, at Rio de Janeiro, expecting . to be ordered hom e ; t h e E c l a i r also 14 Rio, and , the Fly cruising.

It is confessedly he beet qualification of a ship of war, that she pos seas a weatherly quality, or, what some of our readers will bet ter understand us to mean by saying, the best constructed vessel to sail or make her way, wh en the wind is foul or blowing against her. This quality the Champion (built upon Captain Hayes' new principle) possesses pre-eminently over both the other ships. In running off or before the wind, there appeared but little difference in the three ships (neither of them proving remarkable for velocity ; b ut if there was any , i t wa s to the ad vantage of the Pyladea and O restes — to t h e fo r mer in smooth wa ter only.

EDITOR—I wish some of your Irish Correspondents to inform us, on this side of the Channel, on what constitutional and legal principles THE LORD LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND tolerates and allows the Catholic Association in Dublin to hold Its meetings, and to declare and disseminate, through the me dium of the Public Press, Its objects and intentions, (alike subversive of all toleration and of obedience to the State), and to levy on the Popish Population of that Kingdom a pe cuniary contribution, to enable its members to bid defiance to the laws, and to resist all legislative measures which may be considered as essential to the happiness and prosperity of Ireland—when the Meetings of the Protestants of ALt deno minations, and of the Lodges of FREEMASONS in Ireland, are not allowed to assemble on any pretence whatever, although His 31.txxsT y is the Grand Patron of the Order, and Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of York and .

The recent unconstitutional proceedings of the Catholic Association demand the immediate attention and official interference of the Attorney-General for Ireland, whilst the conduct pursued by several of the Popish Clergy of distinction and rank in that unhappy kingdom begins, to ex.cite.much attention and alarm, and to be seriously felt throughout the various grades of Protestants in this coun try ; and unless His Majesty's Government will act with promp. titude and firmness, and boldly and honestly interfere and de. stroy all favouritism, both Protestant and Popish, in the Sister .

On-Tuesday an Inquest was taken by Mr. Lowucaorr, ut North Stoneham, on view of the body of Mary Page, who, on the preceding Thursday, died in the parish of St. Peter's Cheesehill,. near Winchester, and on Sunday was conveyed to Stoneham for interment. At the time ap pointed for the' interment, a mob of females gathered round the. hoUse and protested against the removal of the body, declaring ,that the death of the woman was occasioned by the 111-treatment of James Page, her husband. As soon, therefore, as the necessary evidence could be collected, a Jury was summoned to investigate the circumstances. It ap peared that _the deceased had been married about eight menthe, prevpus to which lime she had been a domestic in the house of John Fleming, Esq., M.P., of Stoneham-park, and had there established a most unexceptionable character.— The principal witnesses produced on the inquest were the nurse and companions of the deceased during her illness, a person who had .witnessed her bad treatment, and the surgeon who had attended her. Numerous instances of extreme want of feel ing were related by the witnesses in the caurse of the examine dohs ; but that on which the Jury founded their verdict was a complaint by the deceased, in the month of August last, that her husband had been cruelly beating her, when she produced a large stick, with which he had given her a violent blow on the back of the head. The deceased frequently, especially during her last illness, complained of pains in the head,but never stated to the Burgeon any probable cause ; and that gentleman, not having reason to suspect any thing improper, of course at. tributed them to the effect of her illness. On the llth of Oct. the poor woman was seized with convulsions, within two days she was prematurely delivered of a still-born child, and on the 29th death terminated her sufferings. Upon a more minute ex amination of the body during the Inquest, the surgeon dis covered a mark on the external surface of the back part of the skyll, corresponding with the plaCe alluded to by a former witness, evidently produced by a violent, but not a recent blow. Under that bruise lie found a formation or deposit of bone, which must have been increasing for some time, and which would produce cenvitleion tits; and he had no doubt that those convulsions w ere te e , immediate cause both of the premature confinement, and of the death of the unfortunate object of inquiry. The Coroner explained to the Jury such points of law as were neces sary for their consideration : and they, after a very short deli beration, returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against James Page, her husband ; who was immediately committed by the Coroner to the county gaol for trial at the next Assizes.— (Portsmouth Paper.) In addition to the foregoing particulars, we learn from in quiries made on the spot, that the body was brought on Sun day, the 31st ult., in a cart from Winchester, to be buried in North Stoneham Church, when the Rev. Mr. leadon, the rec. tor of that parish, having previously been made acquainted by the Rev. Mr. Richards, the Vicar of South Stoneham, who re sides at Winchester, with the suspicions and rumours which were afloat, very properly refused it interment until a Coroner's inquest had been held;--the body in the mean time was depo. sited in the aisle of the church.—We learn further, that the Rev. Gentleman immediately wrote to Mr. Fleming on the sub ject, who stated his determination that the case should be par ticularly investigated, and that strict justice should be done.— The deceased had be e n t a k en by him when a child *om the poor-house, and had been bred up and provided for as an under servant in the family.—(Southampton herald.) SUDDEN DEATu.—Saturday morning, a middle a ed man, named Foley, who resided on Safflvri-hill, was in his apartment conversing in the most cheerful manner with his wire, and shortly after he quitted the room, bidding her " good Y. He had not been absent more than a minute, when she Was alarmed by the intelligence that he was found dead in the Passage, where, on proceeding thither, she found him a corpse, baying been seized with an apoplectic fit. DBATD BY FIGHTING.—A pitched bottle, for live sovereigns a-side, was fought on Sat urda y at Miekleham Common Bucks and Oxon, which proved fatal to Jem Barret, a man who has exhibited in the Fives-court. His adversary, Bill Probart, a man also from Oxfordshire, had much the worst of the battle, which was fought in an inclosed ring. After lighting twenty-four rounds, Barret was run down with she side of his head against one of the rough huge stakes. He was taken up and carried off ,the ground in a senseles state to the nearest public-house, but he died before medical aid could be procured. • ORANGE INSTITUTION.
