THE GREEKS. The following is an extract of a letter dated A rgostoli (Cephalonia), Dec. 13 :—" A few days a l .;o the Greek squadron fell in with the Turkish lbeet a second time in the Gulf of Vole, and made preparations to attack, on which the Captain Pacha fled before them, making sail with 26 yes mils for Constantinople. This squadron was pur sued by a like number of Greeks; but I believe rsithoot effect. Another detachment of 11 sail Inatie for an island of which ido not remember - the earne,.and was pursued by a smaller division of the - Greeks, which came up with them, en • _0,04, 'iock., or drove on shore nineaf them. Missolnagbi has terminated just as I expected. -On the Ist instant tin. Turks sud denly raised the siege, embarking their artillery and part of their troops; but leaving before the place their sick and wounded., a quantity of stores, horses, wetted powder, &c., and retreated in the•direction of Prevesa. On the 7th, a Greek squadron of 14 sail appeared in these seas, May rOcordato being on board. Therehave since been some encounters of which we have hardly had time' to gather the details. The Greeke fell in with a Turkish corvette on coast ofithaca, and - engaged her so sharply; that after vainly atternp ' ing, to run her on shine, she was compelled to surrender. She was on .her . way from Prevesa from Patras, with stores and specie. Out of one hundred and fifty men, 97 are -said to have been killed, among whom are the Captain and the nephew of Yussuf Pacha ; the rest gained the •rhore- of •Ithaca, and were received into the Laza retto. A letter from Ithaca states that , 6oo,ooo Turkiiit piastres have been found on board the prize. Ott the night of the 9th a Turkish trans port, with 150 men, put into Fiscardi, an outport of this island, opposite to Ithaca, during a gal. : a small Greek vessel did the same,•not knowing of the Turks being-there, and at day-break they found themselves within half a cable's length of each other. A strong -detachment •of :the Sth regiment was ordered to occupy the port, to pre vent any infraction of the neutrality and sanitary laws : neither are allowed to remain more than. `l4 hours in , :fonian ports. .No intelligence from the detachment has yet -reached this •city.— Although these affairs are passing lit -a manner under their eyes, yet it is hardly credible how, • the Turkish men of war suffer themselves to be kaocked about by this Lilliput fleet. DUKE OF BELLUNO. (Fro7the .414m:eine Zeitung of Jan. 18.) LKTRACI: OF LETTItiI FROM 1 - 11-.NNA, DEC. 30. " Astio-ng the many articles which have ap peaxed in the Paris Journals since the appoint- Ment,of the late Minister of War, Marshal Vic tor, to.the post of French Ambassador at this -C:onrt, some on theibackwardness, some on the willingness of the Marshal to accept the post in ct wstion, one of the latest in the Courier Fran. cis. of thel7th instant has especially excited at tention here, because it mentions, and as far as w , k now , for the first time, a difficulty which is said to stand in the way of the newly appointed Ambassador, on account of the title of the Duke of Belluna, given to him by Napoleon at the same time as other titles .were given to other Marshals, Ministers, &c. This title, it is said, Austria will not recognise, as it calls to mind a victory obtained over its .arms, and the conquest of a country which now makes part of its . dominions. The author of the article in the Courier Franc.ais seems either not to know, or not to choose to know, that the French Govern ment, soon after its restoration in the year 1814, formally acceded in diplomatic dOcuments to the principle,..and repeatedly recognized it in subse- WIPSIt negociations, that only those titles which were attached to a certain place, where the pos sessor of them had performed some distinguished military exploit, should be retained., but that all o thers which, without having such an origin, ap peared to indicate a right of possession to lands, cities, or domains, whiCh are situated out of the French territory, should be abolished. If the Allied Powers have not hitherto more peremptorily insisted ..on. the actual cacryiug into effect of this principle, which, if we are not mistaken, was ex. • pr9ssed by the French Government so early as in May, 1814, it can be attributed at the most, if we may so express ourselves, to a delicacy on their side, carried to the highest degree, and time French Government will certainly be less in dined to think of acting in contradiction with its own declarations of maintaining titles, the aboli tion of which it has itself recognised as neces airy, as none of the Allied Sovereigns in the course of , those campaigns, which twice brought about the overthrow of Napoleon, ever made use of the right confirmed by the public law of Europe, and not disputed by France itself, of conferring on any of its Generals a title, calling ‘. to mind a victory gained by thern on French ground, and the same manner as there are now Princes of Wagram and the IYlowska, or a Duke . of Da lizic— or creating, for instance., -Dukes or Princes of Paris, Lyon, La Rothiere, &c. It may be rea sonably expected, that the French .Government Willi rather embrace this opportunity to fulfill the Nvell founded expectations of the rest of Hurope, and do away with the impropriety of seeing French stobjects invested with the titles of Duchies and entire provinces, atl right to which WitS formally renounced by France in the treaties which re conciled it with the rest of Europe." MR. LAMBTON AND MR. PEMBERTON. [From the Durham Advertiser.] As so much has been said respecting Mr. LAMBTON'S heroism, it may not he amiss to sub mit the following explanatory circumstances to, the public Mr. LADIBTON attended a meeting of the Commissioners of the river Wear ; he wasaccompanied by his brother, his agents, his coal-titters, and other friends and adherents, of whom the meeting principally consisted. It appears that Mr. Lambton's primary object was to remove Sir C. Sharp from the chair, which, of course, with his coadjutors, he effected ; he after. wards attacked Messrs. Pemberton, for the vexatious opposi tion which they had created. (It is supposed that this alluded to some opposition by Messrs. Pemberton to Mr. Lambton and his friends, at which they were of course irritated, espe cially as they had been foiled by a verdict in a Court of Justice.) Mr. T. Pemberton 'not relishing this attack, told Mr. Lambton that he did not conceive Mr. Lambton was treating him handsomely in using such language, and that he had acted entirely in compliance with the recommenda tion of his laa' adrinrs. This was enough for the fiery (or rather smoky) Member, who, with ;be assistance of his brother, commenced a violent tirade against Mr. Thomas Pem berton. Every one allows that,Mr: -Lambton's talents consists in the cominand, selection, arrangement, and endless trans_ position and repetitiou . of every term of invective the English language affords. With such powers Mr. Lambton might at one time have been.considered as a tremendous antagonist, but he is now become a very harmless gentleman to his opponents, as they now discover he is only great in words, alike incapable of originality of thought or of deep reasoning and research ; of the justness of this remark the Parliamentary annals will afford ample proof. What a field for such a gentleman ! the opponent against whom he bad commenced an attack, he de dared to be without character, courage, or friend, and yet (waving all these circumstances) whom he would compel to fight. How safe the Member thought himself—how noble and generous his conduct in waving his antagonist's want of cha- . racter, &c.! Had Mr. Pemberton's courage been at as low. an ebb 113 Mr. Lambton supposed, how magnanimous his con-. duct in thus insulting him without any provocation. POKER. Mr. T. Pemberton was then, by this valiant gentleman, summoned out of the Commission Room, and report says, that Mr. Lambton used the most opprobrious epithets as to Mr. T. Pemberton's want of character, courage, &c. ; and when Mr. Lambton observed Mr. Pemberton about to seize him by his sensitive organ, he had recourse to the poker, with which he saved himself pure, and which he brandished about in a most spirited style. It appears it was then attempted to transfer the quarrel to Mr. William Lambton. VOTE OF CENSURE, AND CHALLENGE OF AN OLD GENTLEMAN NEARLY EIGHTY "SEARS OF AGE. During Mr. Lambton's absence from the Commission Room, his friends, (ever re a dy to accommo d a t e t h emse l ves to hi s wishes), and entirely forgetting how he and his brother had outraged the board by their conduct and public challenges, drew up and passed a severe vote of censure on Mr. Thomas Pemberton ; this was moved by one of Mr. Lambton's hired agents, and seconded by another. During Mr. Lambton's absence, a gentleman, wholly unconnected with either parry, declared, that if Mr. Lambton had said half as much to him as he had done to Mr. Pemberton, he would have taken him by the nose. When Mr. Lambton returned to the Commission Room, by stated, that he had exposed Mr. T. Pemberton's character to himself, in such explicit and intelligible terms, that no one but himself could possibly pass it over. When Mr. Lambton was acquainted with the vote of censure that had passed on Mr. Pemberton, he became more furious and formidable than ever, and threatened Mr. T. Pemberton's father, a gentleman nearly 80 years of age, by saying, that had not his age pro tected him, he would have called him out alto. The public will naturally make the following inquiry : Why was not the highly indecorous conduct of the Messrs. Lambton, in abusing and challenging gentlemen at a public board, noticed in the vote of censure ? The answer is obvious.;—is it possible that Mr. Lambton's hired agents, who receive their salari es from hi s own hand, would have joined in publicly censuring thei r own mas ter Wherefore, then the exultation of the hi g h. minded Gentleman on being informe dl of the compliment he had received, and the remark of the sapient Editor of his Newspap er, as to the con. elusiveness of this famous vote. Might it not have been expected f rom such an exalted per sonage as Mr. Lanibton, that lie should have despised availing himself of such support, or have, at least, requested his hired agents to have withdrawn, or to have remained neutral upon this occasion? Mr. T. Pemberton having waited in vain for a formal mes sage from Mr. Lambton, sent his friend, Capt. Burne, to Lambton Ball, and remained himself at hand, ready prepared to meet Mr Lambton. Capt. Burne did not in the first instance gain access to the great personage, and was at last required "to send up his business in writing;" which he complied with, and procured an interview, when Mr. Lambton (stating certain scruples he began to entertain) concluded by refusing the chal lenge. This refusal Capt. Burne with difficulty procured in writing, and proceeded with the precious document to Sunder.. land, where he posted it in the public News-Room between 2 and 3 o'clock on Friday the 9th. , The public must be well aware of the new point which Mr. Larnbton had discovered in Mr. 'l'. Pemberton's character—a most material one ! He had previously stated his thorough conviction of Mr. Pemberton's cowardice ; but now for the first time, most unexpectedly, discovered his great and appal ling mistake ! ! Oh Member ! get over this if you can !! Recollect, at the meeting of the Commissioners you waved every thing. Capt. Burne has declared repeatedly, that he never met with a more cool, collected, or determined person, than Mr. Thos. Pemberton. Mr. Lambton's mind now misgave him ; and it appears Sir Hedworth Williamson, Capt. Cochrane, and Mr. Baker, were dispatched to Sunderland on the Friday evening, when Capt. Cochrane was assured by Mr. T. Pemberton's brother-in-law, (on the subject being mentioned to him at his house by Capt. Cochrane) that Mr. T. Pemberton should not go out again to meet Mr. Lambton a f ter w h at h a d transpired. And late on the same evening, when another gentleman was called in by the friends of both parties, and when some conciliatory mea sures were proposed by the friends of Mr. Lambton, it was then alAo distinctly stated, in the presence of the gentleman so called in, that Mr. Thomas Pemberton should not go out to meet Mr. Lambton again. Mr. Thomas Pemberton's friends being most decidedly of opinion that there would be the great est impropriety in Mr. T. Pemberton's subjecting himself to Mr. Lambton's repeated vacillations, should he again be screwed up to the fighting point. On the following day, Mr. Pemberton's character was again brightened up. Mr. Lambton thinking himself in perfect safe ty, sent another challenge, which his friends consider as an ad ditional ostrich feather in his cap. That this great champion is quite immaculate is very clear, by his never entering into any combination to enhance the value of so necessary an article as , coal. Of the proceedings of M r . L a mbt on ' s f r i en d s i n t h e Sun- 1 derland River Commission, the public shall hereafter be in- I formed. They have been distinguished by luminous Acts of Parliament, never swerving from the Act to screen their own friends, or to continue their emoluments after their places were vacated. Never proposing and carrying Notes, and (finding • they did not answer their purposes) again rescinding them, and finally, never using personalities. A single anecdote may be given as a bonne bouche :—When Sir C. Sharp, about six months ago, was elected to the chair, in opposition to the leading gentleman of Mr. Lambton's party, this disappointed leading Gentleman exclaimed in an agitated and agonized tone of voice, " Gentlemen, you have done very terong"—they had done very wrong, fbrsooth, in not electing himself ! What a fine compliment to the Commis sioners and Sir Cuthbert, and what an excellent specimen of egotism ! It is much regretted, that such exalted personages as Sir H. Williamson and Captain Cochrane should have moved in this business ; it is thought that had they been present at the meet. ing, they would have declined interference. _ _ To the Honourable Captain, a gentleman of high honour and conciliatory manners, Mr. Lambton is doubly indebted, Mr. Lanibton having not long ago uttered a severe and undeserved philippick against that gentleman's . father-in-law, which he has kindly overlooked ; and the Honourable Captain must be well aware, from circumstances in his own family, that an innocent man may be easily involved by law proceedings in the faults or errors of others,—as such he will probably be now lenient in his judgment on Mr. T. Pemberton, from the errors of whose workmen the alleged prosecution has arisen. That Sir H. Williamson should have joined in this affair against the old and intimate friends of his late father,• whose good character was duly appreciated in the: county of Durham, is still more extraordinary. Bishopwearmouth, 21st January, 1824. " The. late Sir liedworth Williamson was sponsor to Mr. T. Pemberton. WEST INDIA DOCKS.

QUIS DICERS FALSUM AUDEAT LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 27, 1824. The following are the only articles of intelli the Spa n i s h Mi n i ster, C ASA worth extracting : gence in th e French Papers The illness of YItUJO has terminated fatally. The Marquess de TALAnu, who has been removed from the French embassy at Madrid, is to be succeeded by Count MA RCELLUS, recently Chargo d'Affaires at our Court. The Count, we understand, is now a Peer of France. ( From the Con:titutionnel of Saturday. ) VITTORIA, JAN• B.—(From a Private Letter.) —lt is said that the Constitutional bands increase much in Estremadura, which appears to have be come theii rallying point. The individuals who compose them give themselves the name of good men. It is now no longer doubted that M. de Talaru has given in a note to our Government, to fix a time for the recognition of the capitulations con cluded by the French Generals, and in virtue of which many strong corps of the Constitutional army surrendered. The question respecting the recognition of the loans of the Cortes is again on the carpet. It seems that his Majesty has shewn on this point an opi nion contrary to that of the Ministers, and that in consequence of this difference, those of Fi nance and Grace and Justice, also the Minister of the Interior and the Minister for Foreign Affairs, think of retiring.—(Brussels Oracle.) (From the Journal des Debate.) PARIS, JAN. c 2. 4 . —Letters from Madrid of the 18th, announce the death of Cusa-Yrujo. lie is succeeded as Minister of State, by M. Heredia, Minister of Grace and Justice, and the latter'. office is conferred on M. Calomanda, Secretary to the Council of Castile. [From the Etoile.] It is affirmed that the Marquis de Talaru has left the embassy at Madrid. Report says that he is to proceed to Vienna.

Exchange on London, one month, 25f. 45c. ; three months, 25f. 35c.—( Court Authentique, Jan. 24.) It is not a little curious to hear so much of the demands which are said to be addressed by the Cabinet of Paris to FERDINAND VII. relative to the granting of an amnesty, and to the formation of a Constitutional Government, &c. An Eng- lish paper of this morning even says that it is now understood that the Ultimatum of the French Government, on these points, has been recently transmitted to Madrid ! We thought that the in. vasion of Spain had been undertaken for the pur pose of rendering Ferdinand VI I. free to govern his states as he himself might think proper ! It was not to be tolerated that any portion of the Spanish nation or the whole of that nation should presume to dictate to him as to institutions which could proceed only from his own royal spontaneous will! Yet the French now unblushingly tell the world that he shall adopt the maxims and form of his Government from them,—that they have sent him their ultimatum,--and that if he does not yield obedience to their dictation, "matters can not long remain between France and Spain in their present stale !" We have taken an article from the Allgemeine Zeitung relative to the alleged refusal of the Court of Vienna to receive Marshal VICTOR as Ambassador from France, under his Buonapartean title of Duke of BELLUNO. The German Jour nalist asserts that the restored French Govern ment formally consented to the extinction of all titles, which had been conferred upon French subjects, that seemed to imply a right on their part to lands, cities, or domains, not situated within the French territory. The titl e o f Duk e of BELLUNO was one of thi s d escr i pt i on, an d if we mistake not, Marsh a l V ICTOR actually derive d a e revenue f rom hi s D u k e d om of Bel ious to the g rea t even t s w hi c h hurr i e d u c n o o n ,, s c ons id e rab l e e e r v a b his late imperial Master from the Th rone o f France. Under such circumstances, it cannot be ma tt er of surprise that the Austrian Cabinet has opposed itself to a recognition which is not a mat ter of mere etiquette, and which might hereafter give rise to discussions and pretensions from the whole crowd of the French Imperial nobility. The Allgemeine Zeitung very justly reflects upon the Government of Louts XVIII. for having neglected to abolish, by a formal Act, all the titles which it had in 1814 admitted to be spuri ous, and which it engaged to abrogate ; and the writer of the article even reminds the French that the Allied Powers from motives of deli cacy conferred no titles upon their subjects commemorative of the triumphs of their arms upon the soil of France. This is, at a moment when the Freuch are somewhat too much elated by the military glory they have obtained in Spain, a well timed hint. It is not, even yet, too late to create some new Princes, Dukes, &c. &c. with French titles, in commemoration of the events which preceded the Peace of Paris ! his MAJESTY.—The account which we re ceived this day, we have the pleasure to say, states that His MAJESTY is gradually getting better. The attack of his old enemy, the Gout, (the only one we hope that he has) affects His MAJESTY chiefly in the hand. CITY, Twelve o'Clock.—Consols opened this morning at 90i to 91 2 but soon after lowered to 904- for the Account, and 9024 for Money. Up to the present hour I do not hear of any Ex presses from Paris, nor are auy expected, unless some political event of importance has occurred. All the reports concerning the financial system to be adopted by Ministers at the opening cf Parliament are still vague and uncertain. FOREIGN INIARKET.—AIexkan Bonds opened at 34 p., at which they remain, with little fluc tuation. Spanish Bonds opened at 2-44 —5, with not much doing in them. Letters have been received from Pernambuco, dated the 6th of December, at which time, owing to the embargo laid on al. Rio, intelligence had not been received, of the important events occur ring in the capital of Brazil. The Bahia, a Bra zilian ship of war, cruising off Pernambuco, had captured and sent in the Carvahlo, a Portuguese vessel with a very valuable cargo. The com mander of the Bahia had announced his intention of continuing his cruise for the purpose of inter cepting other Portuguese ships on the voyage to Lisbon. It was understood at Pernambuco, that a visit would shortly be paid to that port by Lord COCHRANE, he having sent instructions, as Brazilian Admiral, for the detention of all uhaving Portuguese produce on board,tailthe parties should clearly prove th a t intetral vessels as not on Portuguese account. THE THEATRES. DrtuitY-LyNE.—Mr. KEAN has made a pro vincial ramble, but last night returned and re sumed-his part of Richard the Third, which, after all, is the part in which his acting is least excep tionable. He was received by his admirers with the warmth which usually attends his perform ances. We know not why POPE should have been divested of his royalty in I lenry the Sixth, as it is improbable that he should have abdicated the character. Mr. ARCHER is a respectable actor, but he is evidently too active and juvenile for the part. But Managers can elevate and depose at their pleasure. WALLAcic was admir ably spirited in Richmond, and Mrs. W. WEs'r very interesting in Queen Elizabeth. The house. was very well attended. COVENT-GARDEN.- The Tragedy of Kin; Lear, one of the most powerful works of our unrivalled dramatic Bard, was revived last night. Mr. YOUNG is better qualified for the part of the venerable Monarch than any other actor now on the London boards, and if it is not the best of his performances, he at least renders the part very effective. Mr. C. KEMaLE has long esta blished his supremacy in Edgar. Miss LAGY was a most pathetic representative, of Cordedia. This actress displays a just conception and strong . sensibility in all she performs. The unnatural Sisters were strongly supported by Mrs. VINING and Mrs. FAUCIT. The' blunt loyalty of Kent was well given by FAWCETT, and the Play altogether was well received by a numerous audience. " THE CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION."-This ano malous assembly met again this evening, to legislate on the af fairs of the country. The principal speakers were—Mr. Plun ket, Mr. Kirwan, - Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Shiel. The Chair was filled by a Mr. Fitzsimons. The first business introduced was a motion made by Mr. Plunket, that the Address of the Catholic Board in 1814 beinserted in all the Dublin papers; which, no t being seconded, fell to the ground. Mr. Kirwan moved, that a Committee be appointed to frame an official letter, to be di rected to the Aristocracy and Members of the old Board, in order to induce them to join the Association. On this motion Mr. O'Connell proposed, as an ameArnent, " That a Com mittee of nine be appointed to devise the best means of en larging the numbers and funds of the Association ;" which was finally carried, with the single dissentient of Mr. Kirwan. Mr. O'Connell signified the mode in which the funds are to be raised is, by bringing the whole Catholic population under a contribution of monthly payments, from 2s. to Id. in every pa rish in Ireland. Mr. Sheil, in his address, distinctly announced, that the interests of the Body were confided to them as the representatives of this population. At the hour of five o'clock we left Mr. O'Connell on his legs, recommending that Aggre gate Meetings be held in every county and principal city of Ireland, and that the AFgregate Meeting for the city of Dublin be held on the 13th of ebruary, instead of the 2d, as first pro posed. There was the usual quantum of abuse on what was designated " the Orange Press."—(Dublin Correspondent, Jan. 22.) The KING will certainly, unless prevented bf serious illness, open the Parliamentary Session in person. Yesterday, at half-past two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, Downing street, being the first since the general return of Ministers to London. The Council was attended, by all the Cabinet MiniSters. They continued in deliberation till about a quarter before five o'clock. On Friday night, Mr. DRAFFEN, the King's messenger, left town with dispatches to the Right Hon. Sir CHARLES BA•OT, our . Ambas sador at St. Petersburgh, in reply to those brought on the Tuesday previous by Mr. Muxxo, the King's messenger, who travelled from Russia in less than three weeks. Friday evening Mr. HILL, the King's mes senger, left town with dispatches for the Right Hon. HENRY WELLE‘LY, our Ambassador at Vienna. Yesterday morning Lieutenant Winn arrived at the Colonial Office, with dispatches from New South Wales. His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK arriv ed in town on Sunday morning early from Got... hambury, the seat of the Earl of VERULAid. Kingston (Jamaica) Papers to the 4th alt. have been received. Many extracts might be selected, both from the Journals and the pro ceedings of the House of A ssembly, of au intern-. perate and hostile tone towards this country ; but they are evidently any thing but formidable, and are not worthy of notice. The Marquis of TICHFIELD, we are happy to state, is considerably recovered from his late in disposition. Commodore Sir THOS. HARDY arrived in town yesterday, and had a long conference with the Board of Admiralty. Sir THOMAS, it will be recollected, was at Rio de Janeiro during the late important occurrences there. Molts. M. ORLANDO and Mons. J. LURIOTTIS T the Deputies from the Greek Government, ar rived in London yesterday. The letters received yesterday by the Spanish mail from Estremadura, announce that province~ to be in an extremely disturbed state ; and bein4 without French troops, the diso7ders of the Con stitutional party could not be checked or con troulled. In the town of Safra about the 6th instant, a troop of guerillas, scarcely consisting 100 men, was sufficient to put down the publi , 3 authorities, and to throw the whole town into confusion. Having obtained plunder, which was their chief object, they departed, threatening extermination to all the priests and serviles that fell in their way. A Leeward Islands mail has arrived, with letters of the I.sth of December from St. Tho mas's, the last port touched at, and correspond ing dates from Ihe other Islands. Nothing had occurred on the Colombian Main subsequentlf to the fall of Puerto Cavell(); but it is stated, that many commercial adventurers were repair ing to that place, invited by the apparentlf tranquil situation of the Republic, to conduct mercantile operations in that country. In TA' nidad some symptoms of insurrection had beer' evinced in the plantations immediately adjoining Port Spain, hitt they had been promptly sur pressed. In the rest of the island all was per fectly tranquil. The islands of Barbadoest Tobago, and 'Antigua, also appear to be 10 a state of trangttillity. • We eqi Vra litt ?l er , Are a thzt
