ST.

(C (1 d " lltlt reports alluded ctober to in 2s my letter of th e instant, of an engagement between the eL tut caught the back of the frigate ; and in one moment the hates gained the tops of the masts, from one end to the other. Whilst one part of the crew of the fireship hooked it to the frigate, another drew a kind of boat, which the Greeks call Scampagnia, and which all fireships bring along with them, Ito which the whole crew leaped as soon as the enemy was on s rr, and escaped by rapid rowing. From Samos the Isis went t the 24th of August to Scio, afterwards to Lemnos, where it ►ttnessed before Alitylene another action between the Greeks Ind the Turks, in which the former burned three frigates and Aka corvette. A few days before, there had been another en- Begernent in the Channel of the Stanchio, in which the Greeks burned a frigate and a Turkish brig ; so that the Ottomans !whit' those various conflicts five frigates, two corvettes, and two brig.,, Turkish and creek squadrons, appear to, have been much exaggerated, the losses of the former having been confined to one frigate blown up, and two or three smaller vessels destroyed, whilst the latter have lost several fire-ships, be sides having their fleet much crippled. Nothing of great importance appears to have been done on either side. His Majesty's ship Medina, which tnet with an accident in the Arches, was much less damaged than at first reported, and returned to the Dardanelles for his Excellency Lord STIIANGFORD, who embarked on board on the 15th instant." We have subjoined thii day another proof of the intolerance of the French Roman Catholic Clergy, respecting the interment of those who do not implicitly subscribe to their doctrines. The following letter from Troyes, which recently ap peared in a French Journal, discloses the dis graceful fact : " An old man of eighty, as estimable for his virtues as he was venerable for his age, the head of one of the most distin guished families of the town of which he was Mayor, Ellett on the 22d instant. The curate of his parish refused to administer to him the last Sacrament, because be passed for a Jansenist— a profession, however, which did not prevent him from doing to the poor all the good which his iiirtune permitted him, and from being most assiduous in the discharge of the duties of his parish, the doors of which were shut at the moment of his burial, notwithstanding the interference of the family . , and an enlightened public functionary, to remove this scandalous re fusal. A numerous procession composed of the most distin guished persons of the town, accompanied the mortal remains of this venerable citizen of the grave." We see by this letter that not only those who are stigmatized as Heretics, and consigned to eternal perdition because they are Protestants, but even those who generally subscribe to the Roman Ca tholics are denied the funeral service, if they differ with them on mere speculative points. The venerable old man, whose remains were refused the rites of interment, it appears was reputed to be a Jansenist ; but accord ing to another letter, stating the same fact, when he was asked if he 66 abjured his errors," his ex treme debility only permitted him to signify his assent by a sign to the Minister, yet he died " unabsolved," and his corpse was denied the church ceremony usual on the interment. What can be thought of the Professors of a Religion capable of this despicable intolerance. This dis graceful refusal, which is the second that has re cently occurred, is a severe blow upon the ROMAN CATIIOLICASSOCIATION,WiIiCiI is now levying enor mous contributions, for the purpose of effecting the total destruction of our Establishment in Church and State. They have openly avowed, in a pub lic Meeting, by an individual, whose declaration was not contradicted by any other member pre sent, that " they do not recognize as Ecclesias tics any Clergy of the Protestant Establish ment, however high and dignified in station." — May it not be persumed then, a jinliore, that they would not recognise our GraCiOUS So vereign as the legitimate Monarch of the country, if they could once obtain the upper-hand, which they are incessently labouring, per fas et nefas, to accomplish. THE ROMAN CATIIOLIC faith is POPERY. POPERY is the de termined enemy of PROTESTANTISM, and con siders it as its conscientious and imperative duty to pursue it to entire extermination. e appeal to the Protestant world whether it is not time for it to interpose and make a resolute stand against farther concessions to those who never will be satisfied till Protestantism is trampled un der the foot of POPERY. A Newfoundland Gazette, of 'the 9th ult., has been received. It informs us that Major CHAM PION, of the 21st regiment, was assassinated by a sentinel on the 13th of October, at the island of St. Vincent. The assassin has been com mitted on the Coroner's warrant for trial, but it does not appear what motive the wretched man could have had to commit so diabolical a deed.— It is said that his lamented victim had success. fully interposed, on a former occasion, to screen his murderer from punishment for a similar at. tempt, in which he failed. Major C. was highly respected in his regiment and in the Colony, and seems to have died with the sincere regret of all who knew him. Dispatches, dated the 14th of June, were re ceived yesterday morning, at the Colonial De partment, from Governor Lieutenant-General Sir E. I3ARNES, K. C. 13., at Ceylon. Letters dated the 10th of July have been received also from Ceylon, but they bring no news of im portance. We are happy to hear that Mr. Secretary CANNING IS recovered from the slight attack of gout which he experienced last week ; and that the Right Hon. Gentleman transacted business yesterday at the Foreign Office, in Downin g . street. Lord GRANVILLE, British Ambassador at `Paris, dined last Friday with M. de :VILLELE. The dinner consisted of forty covers, and was served up in most sumptuous style. Among the guests was the Swedish Ambassador. Yesterday morning the Duke of CLARENCE came to town from Bushy, and paid a visit to his MAJEsTy. His Royal Highness afterwards pre. sided at a dinner given by the Scottish Corpora. tion, at the Old London Tavern in Bishopsgate. street. A late New York Journal says—" Tobacco is cultivated in several districts of the State of Ohio, which is equal to the Maryland, and will soon be an article of export. THE KING, &c. WI Nnso ft, Nov. 30. —Preparations were yesterday made at the Royal Lodge for his MAJESTY'S reception to dinner; and it was not known until the middle of the day that his Majesty would not arrive. This day the King was also ex pected, and the same preparations have been made by the Royal Household, but his Majesty's arrival still remains uncertain. WORCESTER, Nov. 29.—The Duke of Gloucester took leave of his Noble Host and Hostess at Croome on Monday, and proceeded to Severn Bank, the seat of Lord Deerhurst, with whom his Royal Highness stayed until Thursday, when he departed for Lulworth, and thence to London. r: , i •N ' 4i.

MERCANTILE SHIPPING. FALMOUTH, Nov. 29.—Wind W. strong gales.—Arrived the Marquis of Queensbury packet from Jamaica : sailed the 19th of October, and from Crooked Island the 27th ; off Cape Main, the 23d of October, was chased and hailed by the Inde pendencia Colombian schooner to know if they had seen any Spanish cruizers. Arrived the Hooghly, , from the East Indies ; and several other vessels have arrived, but we cannot get particulars in time to save post ;—between 30 and 40 of the outward-bound which sailed the other day have put back, and remain in safety.

The Unicorn, Hawn, from Liverpool for New Orleans, is on shore on the bar of the 111iasippi , and it is feared will be lost. AGRICULTURE, &c. MONTHLY REPORT FOR NOVEMBER.—Our late prospect of an amendment in the weather has failed, and the low lands continue to be deluged to the entire prevention, in many parts, of those agricultural operations proper to the season. On the Continent also, the farmers are in the same unfortunate predicament. The present month being usually the latest in the autumn, for the commission of wheat seed to the earth, a considerable portion of the business of sowing will necessarily stand over to January and the beginning of Fe bruary. The early sown wheat on dry and hoalthy lands ve getated quickly, and is a strong and forward crop; that on Rom soils and cold infertile clays, is weak, of an unhealthy colour, and much thinned by the vermin. in some exposed districts, the turnips have been singularly affected by the almost constant gales of wind ; they have been blown to the earth, the bulbs half uncovered, anti so much of the fibrous roots destroyed, as to leave little probable hope of farther in crease in the weight of the crop. The excess of moisture, moreover, must deteriorate the quality of the common turnip : and they will be fortunate who have a considerable breadth of the rutabarza or Swedish turnip, which, from he firmer texture, will probably be better able to resist the redundancy of mois ture. However, in general, the turnip crop never exhibited a finer appearance. FREE MASONS' HALL,— Yesterday Mr. Boma., a Gentleman well known and highly distinguish ed for learning and literary talents, manifested in several poetical and other wor k s of great merit, gave a Lecture upon Education at this place un der the designation of PA NEUMATIIIA. The lec ture, which was merely preliminary, took, however, a comprensive view of what is to be devolved through the ensuing course.— %Ve consider the object as so important, that we shall resume the subject to-morrow, and state the main principles on which the course will in future proceed. We regret that the in genious Lecturer found it necessary to apologize for any want of energy which might have ap peared on this occasion, on the plea of recent in disposition. The late race between the private steam-packet Britannia, Captain RUSSELL, and his Majesty's Post-Office packet Spit fire, o re a Captainscui Kivu, has (says a Cor res po n d en t) cr e a t e d a en t discu ssion a t w Dover; and what greatly added to the int wrest of the experiment, it happened that the very worthy Secretary of the Post-Office, Mr. FREELING, was at Dover at the time, and was an eye-witness to . the decidedly superb() sailing of the Britannia, although the S pitfire reckoned one of the most complete steam-packe ts in the publi c serv i ce . The feat was as follows :—On the 15th inst., Capt. kin g h av i ng sa il ed from Calais with 30 passengers, Capt. Bushell, a n x i ous to try the merits of the two boats as to sailing, (about whi c h a great p d as ea s l e i n la g ( e t r h s e b e e n h s in a d id . ) s l l l i e pp g e o d t o h u is t o}' the leaving n ear l y a ll hi s harbour eleven minutes and a half after the Spitfire. It was not long, however, ere the Britannia came up with and passed the Spitfire—aml, in point of fact, arrived at Dover 326 minutes before Capt. King, —thus beating the Post-Office packet 44 minutes. The trial as to the power of the engines was of the most equitable nature, as steam was the only propell a nt ; an d i t blew nearly a gale of wind immediately against them. The Britannia was built at Dover by Mr. Richard Bushell, from the designs of Mr. Pascoe of London ; and the engine made by Messrs. Barnes and Miller, London. The engine on board the Spitfire is of equal power, and made by Boulton and Wert. ALARMING FI RE.—A bout one o'clock yester day morning, a fire broke out in the premises of Mr. M‘Car. thy, a large wadding manufacturer in Gravel-lane, South wark, immediately adjoining the shop of Mr. Thompson, the smith, Mr. Braithwaite, the hat manufacturer, and the dwell. Irg-house of Mr. Wood, of Princes-street. From the nature of the goods in Mr. M'Carthy's manufactory, and the build. ings being principally of wood, the tire burnt with great fury, and threatened at one time the destruction of all the adjoining houses. The firemen and their engines were as usual soon on the spot; but their efforts were completely paralyzed, from there being no supply of water. No less than eight of the dif. ferent insurance engines were on the ground before any water could be obtained ; and indeed the premises of Mr. M‘Carthy and Mr. Thompson, were reduced to a heap of ruins before a proper supply of water could be had. Mr. Wood's house was preserved from total destruction by a very strong party-wall, although it is considerably injured. Mr. Braithwaite's warehouse suffered greatly, but most of his stock in trade was preserved by its speedy removal. The fire was not got under before four o'clock. We are glad to conclude with ;saying that no serious accidents occurred. Letters from Berlin state, that Government intend introducing a n ew rate o f postage t h roug h. out Prussia on the commencement of the new year. COURT OF KING'S BENCII—(Turs DAY.) SITTINGS AT GUM - MALL 'THAW V. BROOM. This was an action on a Bill of Exchange for 1001. drawn by Edmond Clifford, (defendant on un indictment tried and convicted yesterday at Westminster) upon and accepted by Mr. Broom, stated by Mr. ticarlett, a gentleman of consider able property in Buckinghamshire, who having occasion to raise money on mortgage, became ac quainted with Clifford through the medium of an advertisement, after which several transactions took place in exchange of paper. The plaintiff claimed the right to recover as a bonafide holder. The defence was, no valuable consideration had been given by the plaintiff, who stool in the relation of uncle to Clifford, and who, notwith standing considerable advances made by him to" Clifford, received this bill as a specific security for being bail for his nephew in an action to which Clifford had surrendered, and consequently, the plaintiff's liability was discharged. Mr I'EnKE, for the defendant, proposed calling Clifford to prove his fraudulent conversion of the Bill in that of his indorsing it over to the plain tiff without its being intended by the defendant to be negociated. Mr. SCAttLETT submitted a proposition that ti case might go to a reference, which being assented to on the other side, all matters in dispute w ere agreed to be referred to arbitration. LONDON SESSIONS, GUILDHA LL. This day these Sessions commenced before the llEconnElt, Aldermen SHAW, SMITH, MAUNA I, As AULT ON TILE WATCH.—TWO men, named Rossiter and Davis, were indicted, at the instance of the City, for assaulting several watchmen, on the 29th of July last, in Fleet-Market, in the execution of their duty. It appeared, on the prisoner's being taken into custody, they at tempted several times to make their scape, and repeatedly struck the watchmen ; also, that in the watch-house their conduct was of the most outrageous description, and endeavoured to strike the night constable. The Jury, without the slightest hesitation, found both the prisoners THE ARMY. The 7th Regiment marched on Monday from Cnatham for ➢lanchesster. The 99th Regiment, now in Glasgow Barracks, has received orders to embark immediately at Leith for Portsmouth where they are to disembark till transport s a re co ll ec t e d, in which they are to proceed to the Mauritius, to relieve the 46th Foot, now ordered home. This information is important to many officers now on leave of absence, who will ,join at Portsmouth, instead of incurring the expence of a longer journey to Scotland. ROBBERY DURING THE EXECUTION. Gurt.nit 1.1..—A fine-looking lad, apparently about fifteen years of age, named Edward Norman, was brought up yester day before the Sitting Magistrate, Mr. Alderman VENAnr..t s. charged with _picking a pocket in the Old Bailey, during the execution of Di Faunticroy. Mr. Joseph Mee, a gentleman from Wellingborough, N or th am p tons hi re , s t a t e d that he had been drawn by curiosity to witness the execution that morning, and was in the crowd at the top of the Old Bailey, nearest New. gate-street, when he felt a motion at his pocket, and on turning round saw the prisoner, who was standing close behind him, with his silk handkerchief in his hand. lie collared him instantly, when the prisoner passed his hand behind him, and dropped the handkerchief, which he (Mr. Mee) picked up close at the prisoner's heels. He secured him, and gave bin in custody. From the careless indiffi:rence and apparently har dened behaviour displayed by the prisoner, who sneered and even smiled whilst Mr. Mee was giving his evidence, the Al derman concluded he must be an old thief'; but en enquiring, none of the officers knew him. When asked what he had to say, he replied, in a very pert tone, " I never took the hand kerchief, and never sateen,' thing about it." On enquiring who an 1 what he• was, he re i ed, he lived with his father, a watch-jeweller, No. 55, Wellington -street, (Remelt -street, who, he said, was the housekeeper there. As Wellington-street, is a very reputable street, and in a respectable neighbuui hootl,the pri. goner's story wasconsidered fictitious, and the Alderman directed him to be placed on one side. and L ock, the officer who had hiss in custody, was sent to inquire, and if his story were true, to desire the attendance of his father. The prisoner heard these directions given without exhibiting , the slightest symptoms of shame or concern. To the s upnse of every one, Lock, on his return, was accompanied by an elderly gentleman of most respectable appearance, who acknowledged in a ten: that was scarcely audible from his emotion, that the prisoner was his son, and that the account he had given was true. When put in possession of the facts by the Magnurate. he express, ci is feeling terms his horror and surprise. The boy lived and worked with him ; he had a comfortable home, and every thing he wanted, and he never heard an accusation against his honesty. Mr. Alderman Venables s:emed to feel deeply for the old gentleman's situation. Ile would rot question him very closely ; but Mr. Norman's regard for truth drew from him an acknowledgment that the boy had latterly been somewhat more irregular in his conduct than heretofore.
