We took a correct view of the' rent condition of the Greeks and their interesting cause, and that all the pretended aisunions and other misfortunes which were said to have befallen them, were either gross fabrication., or unimportant circum stances malignantly magnified into luinous disas ters. The prowess of the Greeks, we trust, will soon prove, on the heads of their barbarous ene mies, that the confidence with which their friends continue to rely on their valour and. patriotism has been misplaced. " The articles inserted in The' Courier of the 15th, in Tire Morni,g Chronicle of the 17th, and in The Slar, oblige us to break the silence we had purposed to preserve, in the hope that the ulterior results of the affairs in Greece would have -spoken sufficiently fur us ; but the effect that these articles Appear to have had on the Greek Scrip makes it incumbent on us to point out to the intelligent public, and to the holders of our bonds, the absurdity, not to say unskilful wickedness of these articles. Our Laconic refutation is founded on letters quite worthy of credit, and on the details contained in the different ,public • of Gree, which we have received from time to journals Greece . time. We hope that those who have placed confidence in extracts of news, dated Constantinople, or forged there, and in details which the Editor says are little certain, and only tolerably correct, will not find it difficult to believe what we. are about to say. 1. There never was a conspiracy worthy of the name, much less of a serious nature in Acarnania, and in Etolia. The business which has received this imposing rouse took place in the small town, of Anatolie& It created no sensation in Greece, much less in Western Greece, because nothing more was discovered in it than one of those manceuvres or cunning tricks, already employed more than once by the same, and by other- great Chiefs, to extract money from 'the Turks, and enticethem into a snare. The fact is, a person nam ed Gaveilina, acting in concert with Caraiscaki (the latter is now probably dead, his health was so much injured), entered into a treaty with Jussuf Pacha to deliver Missolonghi and Vali sadi n kim. Caraiscaki received 40 , 000 piastres of the Pacha. The 'lurks canto both by sea and land, but in place ;if finding the promises fulfilled, encountered the Greek troops, and made a precipitate retreat. This explains why Caraiscaki, when tried by a Court of five Members, was found not guilty of the crime of treason imputed to him ; 2d, it is certain fact the Suliots, the corps of which is formed of Greeks chiefly of other provinces, went from Missolounglio in good order, and with the greatest Harmony; and they went. to Anatolie° and the neighbourhood of Arta, by the orders of the Government, to keep the Turks in check. They were replaced at aliesolongho in rotation of service, by Greek troops from. the Mores. Anatolie° having been the last place of their residence; these cannot have been brought to seize the town and Peninsula of Anatolie°, where they fortified themselves in the houses to &fend themselves.- 3. There having been no cause, therefore there could he no such effects tie the expulsion of a Suliot family from Mimi longho. For the same reason the pretend .1 alarms, fortifying houses, murmurs, accusations, and levelling guns, particu larly against Missolonghi, are dreams rather than details, which can be supposed to be tolerably correct. 4. For the honour of the valuable memory of Lord Byron, for the honour of Alaurocordato, we can assert that nobody ever dared to suspect them of a treasonable correspondence with the Turks. , Their enemies even (and what men of talents have no enemies), could not conceive and have the effrontery to cir culate such reports, which public opinion indeed has already rejected. 5. Costa Valpiotte was arrested and tried at the instance of. Mautocorilato for reasons which we have explained under NO. I. 'He was found not guilty. B. The pretended con spiracy, the discootent of' the Souliots, was such a trifling matter, Vast Maurocordato went amidst them at Anatolie° with out any escort,' and satisfied them, by informing them' Of the loan contracted for at London, the daily expectation; of the money, and the speedy payment of their arrears. 7. Tripolitza has lon been in the power of the Greek Go vernment. 11. No officer or other person in the suite of Lord Byron was killed in cold blood; but a Sweedish officer, who drew 116 sword against a Greek, exposed himself by his imprudence to a pistol-shot, which the latter tired at hint to defend himself. Lord Byron and his whole suite were too much respected for any thing of this kind to occur. 9. The English artificers and gunners, 'who abandoned Greece, only did so because they were displeased (right or wrong) with their commander, who was not a Greek, nor imposed on them by the Greek Government. 10. The loss of Lord Byron was a real loss, a misfortune even fur Greece. The union and harmony which existed between him and Alaurocordato, and between them and the brave Greeks, anti particularly with the influen tial and respectable members of the present Government, assured the beat results in Western Greece. The departure of Colonel Stanhope Woe also injurious, particularly as his leaving, joined ;to the death of Lord Byron, will prevent the money sent from here reaching Greece. But we can affirm that other Englishmen are going to Greece to replace those, who, in con aeguence of their private affairs, could not continue to reside there. 11. It is not possible to have read the journals of London or even those of Paris, and try to give another colour to the death of Lord Byron than really belongs to it. To sup pose that some vexations, so trifling as those mentioned, and others inseparable from circumstances, could have killed bjm, is to do wrong to Greece, and to the strength of mind of a titan who knew how to lay aside the Lyre and clothe himself with Armour, saying, " When the liberties of the country, threatened by an invasion of the enemy, is to be defended, every man ought to be a soldier, and giving up all other objects, employ himself 'solely in his defence." la. If there arc any com pensations (though nothing can compensate the loss of genius, Particularly , that of a Byron to Greece), we can announce that the Ottoman Porte has also just met with one, in the most formidable of its Generals, the only one in Greece who possessed talents and an army, and who, for the third time, vise to march against Greece ; we will add, in con clusion, that the discontent of the Souliots at Anatolie() was produced by want of the pay due to them and promised ; and that, notwithstanding; this, the number of discontented was very 'mall. It is more than three years since the Greeks have fought !mutat without money—where can troops be found who will per ',arm truth severe service fur- such a length of time without pay'? _the Lo an contracte d f or at London i s k nown in Greece; it is also known that the money has been sent from London. How can their murmurs, their complaints, their discontent be repressed, when th e y cannot o b ta i n what is their due? It would have been better that the Loan had not been made, and the money sent to be, as it were, placed und er th e i r e y es . With money there woold be neither dissention nor discontent. The innu merable Greek ships, which for want of motley to repair and victual them, are obliged to remain in port; would put to sea, the guns would be mounted and made ready for service ; the troops, well disciplined, would serve zealously . the siege of the fortresses held by the Turks, would be regularly pushed, and by this time would have been in the bands of the Greek Government. The army of Egypt and of Constantinople would he laughed at, and would meet the same fate which the preceding armies met, and they were inure numerous than the Porte will ever again be able to collect. This year would have been decisive for the Greeks, and the philanthrophy of th e h o ld ers of Greek' Scrip would be fully recompensed. The true enemies of Greece, the real authors of the inconveniences which it suffers, are those who forge news of so old a date and :melt evident falsity to injure it, but the time will come when all shall be better known. " At the same time the Greeks will have more merit in lus t/lining themselves, and in triumphing in the midst of so many unfavourable circumstances. We hope it. ".LEAN ORLANDO. " AND. LURIOTTIS.

COVENT..G ART) EN%—This Theatre closed on Saturday last with the Comedy of Much ado about Nothing, which had the general strength of the Company to support it, and consequently was well received. Mr. C. KEIMIILE'S Benedick is one of his best comic efforts, and is, indeed, an admirable, piece of acting. Miss Cncs- TER'S Beatrice was very animated. The other characters were at least respectably sup ported. At the end of the.COmedy,.Mr. FAW• cgrr addressed the following speech to the au dience, which they heard, with great applause : " LADIES AND GENTLEMEX,--.OUr !lemon closing with the representations of this evening, I come, on the part o f the Pmprietors, to offer you their sincere thanks for the dis tinguished, patronage with which you have honoured thi Theatre. " The new embellishments, I am happy to say, hare given universal satisfaction. Our success in . ttie attempt to revive a taste for Comedy has answered our most sanguine expectations, while our effbrts to give additional effect to the plays of :tak specie must, we trust, have convinced you of-our love and ve neration for the greatest dramatic Poet that ever charmed or instructed mankind. " In short, when I call to your recollection that we have, in the course of the 'present season, produced thirteen new pieces, besides many revivals, I trust you will allow that neither pains nor expence have been spared to make the Entertainments of Covent.garden /Theatre worthy of the greatest nation in the world. " It only remains to assure you, that the vacation will be entirely devoted to your future entertainment and convenience, and that no efforts will be spared to ensure a continuance of your favour. And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, on the part of the Proprietors, and myself, and all the other Performers, until the 27th of September, 1 must respectfully bid you farewell."

In the Government of Kaluga (Russia), a peasant's wife bore a child is the month of May, which was preternaturally large. It had two heads, four arms—of which two were at the shoulder and two at the breast—and three feet, one of which had three toes. At its birth it ut- tered a cry front a peculiar orifice, and breathed out of two others.

'fur. Mn►tQUta ne LA FA ETT E.—We are in- formed by a letter from Havre-de-Grace, dated yesterday, that on 'T uesday last the celebrated Marquis de la FAYETTE embarked at that place, in the American ship Cadmus, for the United States of America. Such was his enthusiastic reception in that town, that the population poured out miles on the Paris road to meet his carriage. The moment he was admitted within the harrier the gates were closed, by which mense numbers were shut out from their homes. They. were afterwards admitted by the military, as fast us their names could be taken dozen ! This conduct, both on the part of the Bourbon Go. vernment, and of the people of Havre, may seem extraordinary ;, the former in liaving ordered the Governor of Havre to pursue such a course, and the latter in shewinm such a warm feeling for an old Jtevolutionary Chief.' also a fact that every inducement and invitation has been I held out by the Governor•of Havre to the young men to enrol themselves into a body-guard, to escort the Duchesse de Berri in a visit she in tends shortly to make to that town, but only 30 have volunteered for the honour. The Marquis de la Fayette, it may be remembered, com menced his military career in the American artily, as a volunteer, at the commencement of that war, and by his activity and ardour contributed es sentially to the success of :the Alnerican revolu tion. He returned to France when the inde. prudence of the United States was recognised.-- , He is now in the 68th year of his age. The Cadmus sailed on Tuesday, for New York.— (Portsmouth Paper.)

FALSE ARREST. The following circumstance, tit Once . novel • and painful as regards the individual i mme dia te ly concerned, took place about one o'clock, on S a t ur d ay last in Duchess street, Portland.place :—Mr. George . M. T a lb ot , a young • gentleman, highly connected both in this .country and in Ire land, bears it appears so strong a reaerublance to a person known on what is called " Town," under less favourable auspices, that the friends of one and the associates of the other have committed frequent mistakes not perfectly gratify ing to at least one of the parties. Mr. T. haring lately entered as a Law Student, the greater part of his time is spent In London, where, of course, he is commonly accosted by persons that to him are utter grangers ; these familiarities, however xlisagree able, were yet inferior to the event of Saturday. Mr. T. h av i ng taken breakfast at the house of his uncle, in Ilaker-street Port. man.square, walked thence to Portland-street, and after leaving some papers at the house of a Noble Lord, .struck into I)ucheis street with the intention of passing through Cavendish-square ; , as he walked along two hi m on men ran from the opposite side of tha g " street, and, one tapped the shoulder, sayin you are my prisoner," at the ,same time producing a writ. In a somewhat angry tone of voice Mr. T. informed the fellow that he had been too often troubled with the inmertinent *salutations of strangers, and that if he chose to play such trick:on his ruisociate, he ahould not permit them to be played offat his expense with impunity. The bailiff's reply was as insolent a s la cuu k_.-" None of your 1 Yon shall come."

The following new regulations have been just issued by the Lords of the Admiralty, for the establishing an improved mode of vidualling the seamen of his Majesty's Navy, and paying to them a portion of their pay whilst employed on foreign service : Admiralty Office, Jody 1,1824. The lEtwo having been pleased , by Itis Order in Council of the 23d of .tune, to establish a new and improved scale for vic tualling his Majesty's Navy, a copy thereof is subjoined. There shall be allowed to every person serving . in his Ma jesty's ships, the following daily quantities of provAions, viz. Bread Beer - 1 lb. Cocoa -41 b. Tea - - - ioz. When fresh meat and vegetables arc not issued, there shall be allowed in lieu thereof : Salt Beef, alternately - 7lb. I Salt Pork, alternately ilb. Flour . . . . ilb. Pease - . 4 pint And, weekly, whether fresh or salt meat is issued, oat-meal halt' pint, vinegar half pint. On the days on which flour is ordered to be issued, suet and raisins, or currants, may be substituted for a portion of flour, at the following rate : Oae Pound of Raisins being considered equal to llb. of Flour. Half Pound of Currants ditto ditto. Half Pound of Suet ditto ditto. • In case it should be foUnd necessary to alter any of the above species of Provisions , ' and to issue others as their substitutes, it is to be observed that ' I}lb. of. Soft Bread, or lib. of Rice; or '- 11b. Flour ' '- 1 Pint of Wine - P: 1 . is to he considered equal to jllb of Biscuit. -1 is to he considered equal to a Gallon of Deer. jut of . - Ounce of Coffee, or - -)f is to he considered equal t o - I I Ounce of Cocoa. Ounce 01 :ea - - Ilb. of Rice, or - • " is to be considered equal to . 1 Pint of Cavalances, or - 1 Pint of Peas. 1 Pint of - I lb. of Butter is to be considered equal to llb. of Sugar. tlibr. of Cheese are to be considered equal to Ilb. of Cocoa. • lb. Onions - dr Leeks to be equal to llb. of other vegetables. Flag Officers, Captains, and other Commanding Officers will observe in the above scale, and will fully explain to the Ships' Companies under their Milers, the advantages of this new sys. tern, viz. that what were called banyan day:, are abolished ; that Meat, Vegetables, Flour, or Peas, is to be issued every day; that Flour, instead of being exchanged for a portion, of Beef will now become an article of the Men's regular Allowance; and that a quantity of Tea or Coffee, sufficient to make a Pint of liquid, will be issued every evening. It will be observed in the Table of Substitutes, that the quan tity of Spirits to be issued in lieu of Beer or Wine is diminished one half; but in addition to' the pint of tea or coffee allowed in part compensation for this. diminution of spirits, his Ma. ,jests hal; been graciously pleased, in further and full compen sation, to add two shillings per month to the pay of such Warrant Officers as do not rank with Lieutenants, and of each Petty and Non-commissioned' Offi cer , Seaman, l 3larine, and Boy. As the diminution of spirits only takes place when beer and wine are not issued, while the addition of tea or coffee and the increased pay are permanent;: it 'will be obvious how much this regulation is to the pecuniary advantage and comfort of the ships' companies, while it is confidently expected that the di minution in. the article of spirits will conduce to the health of the people, and the good order and discipline of the ships. In addition to these advantages, it is intended that a certain portion of the pay which may be due to each Warrant and Petty Officer (not allowed to draw bills), and to each Non-commis sioned Officer, Seaman, Marine, and Boy, who may be desirous of receiving, shall be Waled to them when in any port abroad or at home, at the expiration of every one, two, or three months, as the Captain may judge expedient, by way of pocket money, viz.; four shillings' per month to 'Warrant, Petty, and Non commissioned Officers, Seatrieni and Marines, and two shillings to each boy; but as the carrying this arrangement into full effect will require the sanction Of the Legisliture,it is intended to sub mit a Bill to. Parlianient,:early in the next Session, to authorise it ; and in the mean While,* in order to carry the same principle into' effect as fkr tor is at peesent • practideble, the at ditiemal Two Shillings, now added to the Pay as conipensation forpart of the Spirits, 'will he paid to the befOre-nintioned classes, in thesame way that ghort Allouianc4. Money is now paid. • The Lords Commissioners'of the Admiralty, in eommunicat ing to the Fleet the gracious -airs' beneffeent intentions of the Ktwo, are satisfied• that! they will he received by the Officers and Men as additional marks.of his Al'A.irrry's fainrar, and as real and substantial iinproverrients to the condition of the Petty. and Non-commissioned Officers and Men.—By command of their Lordships, J. W. CRO KER. An Order in Council has also been issued to raise a new class of Officers, to fill the situation of Masters in the Navy (but who are to be held likewise eligible for superior ranks).— to increase the pay of Potion', and equalise the pay of Mid shipmen in whatever rate of ships they may serve in. The statement in some of the London. Papers, that se veral ships of war are about to sail direct for Lisbon, with detachnients of . the Royal Marine corps and Artillery, &c. is incorrect.' The only ship under orders for Lisbon is, the OceanOto, 'Captain Lucius Hardman, C. 8., which it fit ting as Plymouth, for the flag-ship of Lord Aloefins Beau clerk, whose recent new appointment to the command in, and sailing for...the Tagus, in the ►Manche frigate, we have before stated.
