Itaving been made Pacha of Negropont, he is marching against De lyanopulo in Attica. As the plague rages iu the foriress of Caristo,'pdysseus has caused a trench to be dug round Sit, to endeavour to blow it up. Eight 1 psariot vessels blockade Negropont.

S".II:YaNA, .JAN. 9.—The Christmas Holidays have passed aver in the most peaceable manner ; and the rood order which the police has maintained for this year past gives as the hope that it will notiie again disturbed either here or in the villages and towns in the interior. Letters from Aletaridria of the 3d December say, that a new expedition against Crete was -preparing.; it was to consist of S;TRO men, with 10 ships of war and four transports laden with provisions. The arrival of such a force in the island must greatly increase the distress - of the Greeks.

GOTHA FEB. 17.-A Mr. Arn o ld' , at G ot h a, h as p•iblish ed a singular plan for a lottery, the pviz's which should be German manufactured goods, and which, he thinks, would afford great relief to the German manufacturers. The gre:tt prizes should be deiibinpe.biea - With-tife condition that they must I.:e sent beyond sea; for which purpose an agreement might be made with the Rhenish West India Company and the Elbe' CoMpany, care being taken that the goods should le such as were likely to meet with . a ready sale. Such a plan, he says, would counteract the injtny done to Germany by the - English lattetieS of manufactured goods, which, he says, are conducted on • the same principles, and greatly promote the advantage of the manufacturers 'of England: • BOW -STREET-=Tuts DAY—CAUTION TO CARMEN, A countryman, nanwd Dobbin, was summoned by --,lleasley, ES(f._ charged with having neg lected his team. The circumstances of this.cae were rather hard on the carman, Who had taken off his horses to assist another in dis tress, for which purpose he left his own cart and'oite Itorse without any persOn to attend to it. The.horse went on until it arrived at a part of .11”rnpsuatl Hill, beyond which it could not go, and turin round on the footpath. The defend ant in part convicted himself by his Obstinacy, anti he was fined in the lowest penalty, hut being finable to pay it, he was locked up. until he did so.

It is somewhat singular, that a man in the employ of Mr. Toomer, shot a bird of tile same species some time since.—( Soutizamp toit Hemitzt) mew. The Author of this Appeal is eatiefied, that the subsequen t depelopement of facts has convinced every unprejudiced ob server that. the opinion so unequivocally censured was correctly i nt founded • yet he is aware, that in such cases toe antidote is rarely found to be so active or so extensive as the poison ; it is, however, his intention, not to give general publicity to this ap peal,* but to rest satisfied with presenting it to his friends, and to those distinguished individuals, whose fav oura bl e , o pi n i on he cannot but feel anxious to cultivate, if perchance his n a me should have become known to them only from its connection with a circumstance, in its nature likely to be represented to his preju dice. lie must beg leave to repeat his apology to his friends for the liberty taken in presenting these pages for their con_ consideration, and more particularly to those to whom he has not the honour to be known ; trusting that the attention which he cannot presume to hope for upon his own account, will• not be vrithheld from his sirkject—a structure which still atteets the zeal, the munificence, the united genius, oran Ethelwold, a Walkelyn, ; L: Wykeham, and a Fox. Th e correspon d ence which follows will, it is presumed, require but little explana tion from the Author ; though it may be proper for him to state, that he has the honour to fill the office of Surveyor of the Cathedral of Winchester, to which he was first appointed by the . Dean and Chapter in the year 1809 ; and in consequence of the impute!' before mentioned, he conceives it due t o th at Reverend Ise * dy, as well as to his own reputation, to chew by the recital of fhcts, as he had before endeavoured to do by argu ment, that the means he used for the preservation of the Ca thedral -from approaching ruin, were not so unnecessary, nor extravagant, as he was : informed they were " more than insi nuated to be" t by the Surveyor Extraordinary consulted upon the state of the fabric. In the year,lB2l, in consequence of the Author's representa tion to the Dean and Chapter,of very serious defer pin two prin cipal piers in the nave of their Cathedral,he was directed to take the. necessary steps for an effectual repair of those parts of the fabric ; and, pursuant to that direction, he made a plan and specification for constructing a timber frame, calculated to sup port the weight, and preserve the position, of such parts of the fabric as depended upon the two piers, which, by minute in spection and repeated admeasurement, were found to be in adequate to their important office. The execution of this plan was offered to competition, and a contract was, with the con currence ofehe Treasurer, -made.with a respectable Builder for the use of the necessary timber and the labour of its construc tion anti removal; but during the progress of that preparation, it was suggested to the. Surveyor that it might be prudent in a .a a s pon eng t a h l e e m d 'od tv e consultce,of such magnitude, some or thatas Architect,ino rwh Engineer,ich he , s heof d impair no m t proper c o o s ide, it ntoeclic,e,,,lroypttoedi n i cr t e o as w e h T h e e he ey p r e ep n c l replied, , f -that e repair by su ch additional -assistance, a. s ; I f: neverthelesst n e l c s f or fu E l n l y competent to the undertaking ; but that he should consider it his duty to confer with any o gineer, that the D ean an d Chapter mi g h t think 'proper to con suit upon theoccasion, if they concived such a step tO benecessary. ' Neat the same time represented to them theconviction of his Mind that whatever might be the mode of repair ultimately determined upon, she most ample provision was indispensable for the Seca. ray of the adjacent parts of the previous to the restoration of the parts so evidently approaching the last state of instability ; observing further; that the want of due precaution in this re spect might produce - consequences most disastrous, and occae stun expencea incalculable. This reasoning -was .acceded to with a degree of confidence and liberality which demands the Author's most grateful acknowledgment, and Which he con ceives.would have been improperly met, if he had not ultimate ly accepted the offer, which, he is persuaded, was intended rathar to assist than to condeennliis operations. The Surveyor, however, in the first instance, neeneed it most proper to proceed with his projected preparation, and having completed it, he made a report to the Dean and Chapter to that effect, and stated his readiness to proceed upon the restoration .of the de fective piers ; hut at the same time, when he reflected, upon the suggestion made to him respecting a conference with ano th er Architect, and the increased responsibility he must incur, if .he declined the proffisred assistance, he was induced to frame his report conformably to that suggestion. An Architect of eminence was accordingly selected, with the concurrence of the Dean and Chapter's Surveyor ; but it was soon discovered that this gentleman commenced his proceedings with a pre-disposition to dictate rather than to consult, which was evinced by a sort of mandate (communicated through an official channel) to the Dean and Chapter's Surveyor, to meet him in the Cathedral, on a day peremptorily fixed on by him self only. In compliance with that intimation, the Chapter's Surveyor met the Surveyor Extraordinary in the Cathedral on the day appointed, and during the short interview with - which he was favoured, explained his ideas of the cause of the defects, and the principles o f hi s prop o se d plan for the. restoration of the failing pillari n vvhich the Surveyor Extraordinary did not appear in clined entirely to approve of: lie was however understood to admit, that the preparations which had been made were neces sary , and that they had been judiciously arranged. On the. following day, the Chapter Surveyor, after reflecting upon what passed at the transient interview (or consultation if it may be so termed) w ith th e Su rveyor Extraordinary, thought it right to communicate to th e l a tt er t h e res ul t of his delibera ticns as follows: WINCHESTER CATHEDRAL. OBSERVATIONS and CORRESPONDENCE occasioned by the FAILURE and RENOVATION of a PRINCI PAL PIER in WINCHESTER CATHEDRAL. The Author of the following . pages conceiving it necessary to offer an apoloky for thus intruding upon the no tice of his friends, anti thoSe who may please to honour him by the perusal of this appeal, begs leave to state his humble opi nion, that the subject, connected as it is with the preservation of one of the most venerable and extensive ecclesiastical edifices in this kingdom, cannot be entirely devoid of interest to any of the distinguished and intelligent individuals to whom it is in tended to be addressed.-Ik, however, feels - that he should be wanting in candour if he did not acknowledge that a regard for his professional reputation has been a principal stimulus to his present pursuit ; and he trusts, with some degree of confidence/ that his solicitude upon this point will not be disapproved,when he states the circatmstanco of his having been officially (and he hopes it will be found successfully) engaged in an arduous un dertaking, the 'result of. which has 'been misrepresented, much to his disadvantage; since the formal Report of a Gentleman enjoying very high estimation in the architectural profession, has fixed upon him the imputation of having incurred a consi derable and unnecessary expence .to his employers, through an erroneous opinion upon a case committed to his manage- (COPY.) 'Winchester, Oct. 23,1821. Stu—Since we parted yesterday, my mind has been some what occupied respecting the, piers in the Cathedral, and the result of the deliberation induces me to address you upon the subject, as I feel persuaded you will allow me to submit to your consideration what has occurred to use ; which is, - that if the iron. columns (which we mutually consider necessary) were to be placed within the new casing, that situation would render them the most efficient, as the weight imposed upon them would 'be most advantageously disposed upon the foundation of the pie'r, while the part of the superstructure requiring the as sistance of the core for its support, would receive that support the most efficiently from the iron colon - ins so. placed ; and in this case, as well as in the other, pair of the iron columns • may be first put up and secured, before the ether side of the pier be at all disturbed ; and besides . the greater stability, which, with deference to your judgment, I conceive the arrange ment would insure,. I cannot but believe that it would be gene rally considered as a more perfect renovation of the pier, than if iron were to be ostensibly employed. I have thought it right to take the earliest opportunity to lay these observations before you, and if you should happen to be passiniT_ through Winchester before you snake your Report,. I shall .be most happy in having an opportunity to talk the mat ter over with you again, with - the plan of the pier before us : for which purpose, I will take care to be at - home if you will favour me with a line a day . or two before you expect to be this way. Believe me to be, with sentiments of perfect respect, Sir, Your most obedient Servant, Jno. Nash, Esq. AV m. GA R BET T.

THE ANSWER. (Cora.) Winchester, Nov. 28, 1821. Stit,—l beg to acknowledge the favour of your letter of the .24th instant, and I have since received from the Dean and Chapter of Winchester your Report relative to the failing piers in their Cathedral, together with the plan to which it refers. By these, I find, that we do not coincide in opinion upon that subject, so nearly as.l thought we did; when I met you in the Ca thedral, which gives me additional cause to regret that 1 had not' the pleasure of seeing you again :upon the spot, as it would, have gi►en me an opportunity to recal to your recollection that the separation of the masonry composing the greater column and moulded part of the pier towards the nave, extends con siderably above the longitudinal arches. 1 also beg leave to observe, that the plan of the pier, which I sent to you, repre sented the casing as I - proposed to make it, and not the original caning ; that being much less substantial, which I consider, in no slight degree, the cause of its failure. As the plans which 1 sent you are the corrected drawings, of which there was not time to rnake.duplicates, I should be much obliged if you would return them, that I may have duplicates made, and 1 will send' them back to you. I remain, Sir, your most obedient Servant, To John Nash, Esq. . WM. GARBETT. To this no answer Was ever received. • ( To be continued. me these to-morrow, I 311411 have time to consider the subject, and due attention shall be paid to your observations. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, East Cowes Castle, Oct. 25, 1821. Wm. Garbett, Esq. J. NASH. (Conc.) Winchester, Oct. 26, 1821. Stu,—l hasten to acknowledge the favour of your letter, and inclose herewith the plans you deSire. In addition to my ob servations of tke 23d, permit me to state, that my intention was, first to place one large stone upon the Foundation of the base on each side, either upon or below the level of the pavement, as may appear most eligible when the state of the parts can be more plainlyseen ; each of which stones will form abase for a pair of iron columns which I should p re f er t o pl ac i n g the fulcrum nearer to th e edge of the original foundation ; and as the stones nearer the springing of the arches are expected (and, in deed, as far as can'at present be ascertained, appear) to be of larger dimensions than those composing the other parts of the casing —the proposed columns would catch the tails of them, and thereby equalize the support to be derived from them to the massive pier above. I should place a plate of lead between each joint of the iron columns, which would be compressed so ai to accommodate any little inaccuracy of bearing, and I should provide a screw collar at one joint of each iron column, which must be screwed up in the first instance, and relieved afterwards, by means of a strong punch, to be driven against a saw-toothed edge of the collar, for the admission of which punch, one stone must be left out opposite to each place re quired. I should also brace the iron columns together horizontally at each joint, and securely cramp together every fourth or fifth course of the new casing. In the hope of seeing you when you pass through Winchester, 1 remain, Sir, your most obedient Serv a nt, To John Nash, Esq. ` WM. GARBETT. Here the Correspondence ceased till the 24th November, when the Chapter Surveyor was favoured with the following communication : • (CORY.) Sin,—By this night's past I send to the Chapter Clerk my Report. I have considered both your letters, and should have called on you'had r time. I see you have adopted the inser tion of iron columns, but you have placed them so much in wards, that the masonry of the pier must be very much cut away to get them in, and as the sound part of the stones are stationary, and nothing has given way above the springing, nor the foundation moved, rthink it will not be advisable to dis turb any part of the piers that are not fractured—the strength of the piers should beincreased, and the foundations made se cure against the possibility of future danger : but nothing that has not moved should be disturbed. I -m, Sir, very sincerely your's, Dover-street, Nov. 24, 1821. 4 J NO. NASH. • Mr. Ciarbett. QUARREL WITH - ALGIERS. ( From tlie . .llarnp:hire Telegraph.) PortTsmotyru, Fro. 2g.,—On Monday ]fist his Majesty's brig Carnelian arrived from Algiers, last from Fal mouth, where she landed the dispatch from the Hon. Captain Spencer, which appeareel in last Saturday - night's Gazette. The arrival of the Carnelian at this port enables us to correct several m 4 .s-statements :which have been made relative to her visit, with the Naiad, to the pat of Algiers.. The specific object which in- Iffbarctain°dnltake away in duced our Govermnentto order these 'ships thither was, to demand in fromtathe house of 31r. _Macdonald, our consul, or an apology, for having made an at two of his servants, who are Cabbais, natives of the interior, against whom the Dey had corn eommenced a war of exte rmination and of plunder. Captain S. rd ti e lh r 4e . nt oDdsebeYraosrk:etihn open' was also to demand permission tor .the English Consul to hoist the British colours on the Consular Town-House, as a pro tection of himself and family from unprovoked insult. Captain Spencer, on his arrival at Algiers, found two Spanish vessels in the Mole, which had just been captured by the Algerine Cor vette Tripoli, and the crews of w hi c h were. d est i ned to slavery. Captain Spencer, therefore, with the , most praiseworthy feeling, made the case of abese poor captives a part of his demands to the /Is agreeabl y to the Exmouth treaty, which renounced the rig t of th e D ey to this inhuMan practice over Christian subjects. Captain Spencer having waited four days for the Defb reply to his demands, became appre hensive for the safety of the Consul an d hi s f am il y ; h e, there fore, as a stratagem to - get them on board,gare out that he meant to give a dejenne a la fnircidette and accordingly sent in. vitations to the Consulate, and all the merchants and Euro peans on' s h or e, to honour hin t with their company. The next day (the 31st ultimo), t h e De e y not having made any reply to the demands, -Capt a i n Spencer made the signal .for the Carnelian to get under way, and he left the Bay, with all his pretended guests on board the Naiad. Whilst the ships were working out of the bayatha -Algerine corvette, which had captured the, two Spani s h vesse l s b e f ore a ll u d e d to, was espied d os e under the land, running for the Mole, which anchorage she would have reached bad not the Carnelian instantly laid her on board, when Lieutenant Bagwell, at the head of a party of the Carnelian's crew, resolutely jumped into the main chains, followed by the second Lieutenant, Master, and the remainder of the crew, excepting about ten men, whO, 'after having killed seven and wounded twelve of the Algerines, drove the remainder' below, and captured the Tripoli corvette, of 18 guns, and 100 men, in fine style. The crew- of the Naiad, (which ship was outside of the bay), observing the gallant efforts of the , Camelion, manned the rigging, and gave three cheers at the moment. of boarding. Cap tain Spencer took out the Captain ; but the corvette, being in a leaky state, and disabled by the fire she had sustained both from the . Natid in, passing her, and the Camelion, was abattloned. Ciptain Spencer proceeded t o Malta, to ap prise the Coasanander-inXhief (Sir Harry Neale) of what had occurred, and he dispatched the Cant lion to England, with the result of his communication to the Rev. 1t was observed that the Algerines - had considerably strenar,thened their weak points; the Crown and - the - Seraglio bhttericsa tri particular. They tried the effect of their shells, from one of the batteries 'nearest to the Carnelian, whilst she was attacking the corvette, but she was at too great a distance (about four miles) to.receive any harm from them.a When the Camelion sailed (oh the Ist instant), the Algerine squadron was at sea, cruising against the defence less Spaniards. A large razee frigate was cruising off Cape St. Vincent ; two smaller frigates, and five corv e tt es , were o ff Minorca and Majorca. It i s ,' however, supposed that they all returned to port in a day or twn afterviards, - as, whilst the Naiad and Carnelian lay there, a brig sailed suddenly, it is . presumed, to rccal them. .The 'Carnelian stayed at Gibraltar only a few hourS. There was no British ship of war then there.. The Camelion is refitting at Spithcad ; it is expected she will be the next convoy to Gibraltar. We understand that it is the intention of Government to send out another expedi tion to attack Algiers, should the Day persist in violating the treaty which he mad e w ith L or d E xmout h , b y which be agreed to abolish Christian slavery fir ever. For this purpose, eight bomb -vessels are ordered to be prepared for sea ; two of which—tile Terror, at this port, and- the Infer nal, at Deptford—will be commissioned in a few days. Cap tain .A. D. Y. Arbuthnot (now in the Redwing) is appointed to command the Terror, and Captain Williams Sandom the Infernal. The Ranger, 24, Captain peter 'Fisher, sailed from tins port on Sunday, and ;the Active, 46, Captain A. King, on Tuesday, from Plymouth, to protect the British trade in the Gut of Gibraltar ; and the Pandora,.l3, Captain W. Gordon, sailed on Thursday. for Falmouth, to convoy any ves sels which may have collected at that port bound to the Medi terranean. A ship of war will be appointed for the same ser vice every fortnight, until afrairs.are adjusted with the Dey. The Lively frigate, Captain W. Elliott, C. 8., is ordered from Chatham to this port and Algiers. a- The Pnris papers state, that the French cor vette Coquille, Captain DUFF:DAY, (who is now on a voyage round the world,) was fallen in with by an American 'whaler, on the lath of April last, about 400 leagues east cf Otaheite.
