NOTIFICATION. There being placed out of trade by the new system various goods and commodies coming from abroad, the, introduction of which can only be granted to private persons for their own use, the imperial Government, in conformity with the orders re. ceived from the high Imperial Royal Aulic Chamber, miOcetr known to the public the followinidispositions Art. 1.

Every petition must be signed by the person peetioning.—, No request made in common, and signed. by several indivi. duals, can be admitted. The petition must indicate the quantity and quality of the goods, and must contain the express declaration of the peti tioner, that these said goods are proportioned to his wants, and destined exclusively for his own use or that of his family. There must be noted down the district and the number of the house inhabited by the peison making the demand, who, hay, ing obtained the permit ticket which shall be delivered by the Imperial Direction of the Custom-house, shall with it be en abled to introduce from the post on the frontier, the guods or proiloc:1 described in the same, nor later than six months s after a hicii time the ticket or.card ceases to be of any value. Art. the owner should desire to send commodities re gularly introduced, in whole or in part, front one to another provincd of the monarchy for private use, he must declare at the first Custum-house, un d er p a i n o f confiscation, Indicating the place whither the things shall be sent, and presenting the origined Jetter in Government paper. Instead of it, there shall be sent; as a security, a c o u n ter -m ar k which shall refer to it. A rt. 3.—The commodities and products introduced with the petroission of the Government, or with a transit order, must pay thoir duties in the principal Cust om -h ouses, and cannot - be delivered to the'merchant, or to the person who sent them, in the name of the proprietor, but only to the last person who shall pay the duties. The Custom-house shall take from the proprietor the transit Order, which being annulled, he shall enter into the respective accounts; and shall give in place of it an or der of entrance in blue paper, expressing the precise quantity and quality of the goods. H e will be o bli ge d to k eep it, to jus tify on occasion the duties exacted. Art. 4.—. The commodities for which a permit shall be ob tained, shall not be introduced at ditikrent times, or by various points of the frontier, but must be introduced at one time, and must come into the state by the same official order. For Lye!) , ticket of admission, there shall be contributed a'tax of thirty franca. Art. 1. There arising in consequence of an examination, a diTerence in excess in the'weight, number, or measure of the commodities introduced respectively in the admission.peranit, whatever does not exceed the fourth part of the quantity tic. scribtd. in the said permit of admission, shall not be counted in tiny other way than as a tax, according to the tariff; but if it exceeds a fourth part, there shall he paid upon it a double duty of entrance. As to the commodities the duty of which is established ad talore in, the seller shall be held to declare them beftwe the fix ing'of the duty ; and it appearing to the officer who takes the duty inferior in value by a fourth, it shall remain free to the partioi, ener to yield the commodities to the officers, accord. ing : to the wane ascribed to them, or to pay a duty proportioned to the said value. Art. C.—The objects placed beyond commerce, and with drawn from privet,' .use, as in Article 3, shall not be deposited with another'individual, and much less with a merchant, but shall be deposited and guarded in a place apart, forming part .of the private habitation of the possessor, and separated from every depot of goods. Art. 7.--however the commodities are placed, the proprietor will be always obliged to justify the payment of his duties, on every demand of the Finance Department, by producing the respcotjve order of entrant:a, and the licence given in conse quence of it. In default of this justification, the goods shall be confiscated, a n d a fi ne imposed of double their value. Art. B.—Commodities of every quality placed beyond com. merce, which shall be _sold in public shops or magazines of any kind, shall be liable to confiscation, even though , it may be proved that fa permit was granted for their introduction, and that the duties, were paid upon them ; and where such a justifi cation is wanting, there shall be joined to confiscation a fine of double the value. Art. Every sale, and every contraci: for goods introduced legally by private persons, with a permit, is prohibited, if such articles are new and not used; and likewhie all giving or re ceiving them of them in pledge, is prohibited on pain of confis cation.

TIIEG MEEKS. (From the Oriental Spstlalor.) SMYRNA, OCT. 12.—During the whole of the night of the 6th of this month we heard the report of connon at a distance. An explosion at midnight made the whole city feel a slight shock, which was taken for that of an earthquake. We afterwards learned the particulars of an action, which fatal as it was to the commanders of the Ottoman vessels, nevertheless covered them with glory. A Tunisian polacre and an Egyptian brig, leaving Fwllin to join the Ottoman fleet which had sailed from Mitylene, was surrounded anti attacked in the night between Caraboumon and tkio, by the Greek - flotilla of 60 sail. The Tunisian Cap. Min, after having fought with the most heroic courage and done incredible - damage to the enemy, blew up his ship by or. dering the powder to be seton fire. One of the crew was picked by the French corvette, ha Victorieuse. Though the Egyptian brig remained alone, the Greeks, not withstanding the enormous disproportion of force in their fa. your, did not attempt to take It, so terrible was the fire which it kept up without intermission, but sent two fire-ships, which perished without effecting any for the Eg yptian captain ran his vessel asho re , an d barnt it. thing, , The cannonatietrvnui heals] by the Ottoinan fleet. A Turkish frigate came up first. The Greeks sent four fire ships against it, but the friate stink all the four. Other Turki s h came .and the Greeks fled, having had many men killed, and suffered considerabl e damage. The second day after this event the Ottoman fleet, driven by a violent south wind j w as cruising off Mltylene. The Greeks were seen near Scio. • Last .week the Otuso.an..aquadron was at ,anchor in the best order before Ch s snie. It consisted of seventy-two ships of war. Forty : two creek vessels were seen approaching, and the Ottomans in t siediately sailed; but the Greeks, as usual, fled. N ext dry the Ottoman squadron was cruising off Mitylene. Two passed at Napoli di Romania. 31. li nunanding the Au s t r i an sc h ooner A ret h usa , an i d m ie p r o a rts , o ntevents have entered that port on the night of the 2d October, to niake seri ous remonstrances respecting the two Austrian vessels which had been detained by the Hydriots and condemned under van'. otnvretexts . Several of the crew had been scandalously beaten with ropes, to make then declare the place of their destination. equal dignity and en erg y, i ns i ste d on t hei r r Ai. esto na rat n i d on ee , ra nn ' wi t hh d w t i l t ie indemnity which he had aright toclaim, but the Menibers of the tioverninent sought to elude his' demands.: The same day, October :hi, the English frigate, the Sybille, com manded by Commodore Feschel (query Pechell) arrived at Ns. }soli. That officer summoned the Greek Government to give him satisfaction in twelve hours. At the expiration of this time (half-past nine in the evening), seven English boats; filled with armed men, went to board the three schooners of the Greek Government. Th e crews awoke in terror, and escaped by swimming to the b a t ter y on s h ore, where a great tumult was heard, and a cry to tire, but only, three muskets loaded with ba were fired. At day-break the frigate was preparing to sail, with the three schooners and a brig, sent by the Philhellenes, which had on l board 360,000 talaris, and which, instead of delivering that Stith to the Greeks, had immediately placed itself under the pro tection of the English. Commodore. The latter then saw seve ral Members of the Senate come in a long-boat, as supplicants, but he told them that he was only beginning to act, that he was going imediately to join his squadron off Cape Colonna, then to proceed against the Greek fleet. The Deputies of the Senate conjured him to suspend the execution of his threats, and not to attack the fleet, without which Greece would be ruin ed. The Commander promised to defer the execution of the orders of the English Admiralty on the three following conditions L To annul every decree of blockade whatever, and especially that of the latter end of 31tii, 2. To pay' immediately the Erni of 200,000 TUrkish piastres, as an indemnity . for the damage done to the vessels taken in the Isle of Ithaco, in the month of Alarch. 3.

' " W! are indebted to aCorrespondent, who is an industrious reader of tlfe Continental Journals, for the ,subjoin ed account respecting the greet and increased attention that is now being devoted by the Russian :Government to the study of the Oriental Languages in St. 'Peteraburith by the - Natives of Russia. It strikes m e , o b serves o ur i n t e lligent Correspond. ent, that the solution to a ll t hi s i s th e longing eye which the Russian Government has upon the riches and wealth of t he great Indian Continent. " The General College f or Ori e ntal Literature at St. Petersburgh," says a Journal pub lished in that city on the 30th o h. " is confided to the care of Professor SENKOWSKIE and his adjunct Doliaraar, a learned native of 'Persia. The institut e which was organized last year by his Excellency Count NES S ELRODE, of the Foreign Department, for the acquirement of the Eastern Languages, was for the first to be limited to 16 Students, though it will shortly be extended to a much greater another. Exclusively of the three great leading languages of Asia, viz. the Arabic, the Persian, and the Turkish, the pupils are taught.the Tartarian, the Mogul, the Calinuc, the Chinese, the Georgian, the Arminian, and the new Greek tongues. Four of the pupils have already quitted the Institute, and gone to the Caucasus to exercise the functions of Interpreters under General SERS O LOW, the Governor-in-Chief. The Director of this learned Establishment is the Counsellor of State, M. ADELUNG. It seems to be generally understood, that his Imperial Majesty contemplates the Instit u tion of a third College, for the study of Oriental Literature, but more especially the Languages,—and that such College will be under 'the controul or management of the General Staff of the Army:" • ELLING WONDEIIB.—One day when a person hail been relating many inc re dibl ea tories, Professor ENGEL who was present, in order to r ep ress his impertinence, said " ' But, G en tlemen, this is all a m ere trifle, when I assure you that t h e celebrated organist , Abbe VOGLER on ce imitated a th un d er s t orm so well, that for miles round all the milk was turned sour." INDIA. ( From the John Bull.) The military services of our troops in India are almost universally underrated, the distance at which we are placed from the scene of action, the want of immediate in terest in their results, and the want of proper means of estimat ing the advantages of those result's, combi tottlo, asst were, injustice to the gallantry and heroism of ou Ne coontrymen who are fighting for the East India Codspanc a y, in a schorching tif 4 and occasionally pestilential climate. Perhaps the most splen did of all the great DuKE's triumphs was at ABSAYE, but seldom is the name of that ever memorable battle placed on the' same footing as the least important victory obtained by the in vincible hero on the European Continent. %%Ye refer our readers to dispatches from Brigadier-General Sir A. Campbell, for the details of most distinguished gallantry on the part of his Majesty's.. forces and the Sepoys belonging to the Noitourable • Rast India Company in the attacks upon the Burmese--the 13th Regiment of Foot appears to have done Wonders ; we find that Major Sale, of that regiment, who led the storming party, was actually himself the first man who, sword in hand, mounted the works :—the Navy ap ' pears equally to merit the approbation of the country, and 'the native troops employed seem ably to have seconded the ex ertions of the regulars with whom they were combined. To canvass the policy or 'humanity' of such conquests is not our present intention, nor shall we touch Akron the delicate question of renewing a tra dingi company's privilege to assume a power 'land dominion over millions of human beings, to subjugate ' thousands of free and happy people, and carry fire and sword into the houses and temples of the natives of India - until we are provoked to it by the bleating: of such injudicious quacks as the author 'of the tract' which we have "noticed to-day in another part of this paper, which, may perhaps irritate us into making a comparison between the tyranny of the West India planter who cultivates sugar by the 1 labour of slaves, his own property, in whom he has a vital inte rest, and upon whom he bestows the greatest care and atten tion ; and the humanity of that illustrious corporation of tea-1 [ dealers And cotton-pickers S who are authorized by charter to butcher thousands of peaceable Indians, whenever they presume i to breathe a wish for freedOM,, or appear likely to interfere with the gigantic Monopoly which the lionoarable Campany at present enjoy.—The consideration of such a subject as this, would occupy much more time and space than it is worth while ' at present to bestow upon it ; but, whether the policy pursued! by this Imperium in Iniperio, be good or just,. most certain it is, that the greatest praise is due to those brave fellows who. so I nobly fulfil the designs of their rulers, and who in India, as.l part well a* in every other of the globe, maintain the honour, of the British nation, and the glory of the British name. - . 1 1• -.. . MADRAS COURIER EXTRAORDINARY, JULY .23. " We have just learned that the anticipated attack has beeii made in force and with full effect upon the enemy. He had erected several stockades, it seems, which were taken without much resistance ; but the principal one, supposed to contain a force equal to our own in the field that day, or 4,000 men, was not attempted, .as night approached ; but was deferred until 1 the following day. The whole stockade w a s in co n se quen ce sur rounded by our trotwo,tyho began a cannonade upon it 'about 3 "a. m. which was kept up until daylight, when it was discovered that the stockade had been evacuated, and is now in our pos vssion. Two Chiefs visited our camp with a flag of truce the day before the attack, and one was reported to have been for merly the Governor of Basseen. They had an interview with Captain Canning, but the result is certainly, in spite of all that has been said about it, unknown. The Envied and A nna , Robetson, had arrived rom the Chetluba, and gave flattering accounts of that island and of iticapture, about which the pub lic are ahead . ) , informed. A force consisting of 1,000 men were sent to the Della side to attack a stockade, but owing perhaps to mistake on the part of the guide they returned without find ing its site." By advices from ;Madras to the end of July, welearn that the greatest distress existed there on account of a scarcity of grain and food. To such a pitch had this increased, that the poorer classes of the inhabitants were daily perishing in the streets from starvation. A subscription had been set on foot by the richer inhabitants, which had at the date of these advices been very munficently supported..—(4lforniug Post.) MR. FAUNTLERO Y. AFFECTING INTERVIEW WITH HIS WIFE, &c. Mrs. FAUNTLEROY having learnpd that her husband was determined to shut himself up from. all further communication with his relations and friends after Saturday, sent to him on Friday night a message by her son, tellinghim that she would be with him, if god would give her strength, next morning. He prepared for the meeting, which he had hoped he could have avoided, and at eleven o'clock on Sa turday morning she arrived at Newgate, in a hackney-coach, accompanied by her son. • Upon going inside the first door of the prison there was necessar i ly some delay, the turnkey being obliged to communicate to 31r. Wontner the appli cation of any person to visit a prison er . Nes.' Fauntleroy concluded that she was to be refused, and wildly said, " Oh, for God's sak e , w ill you k eep me from him? ' One of the principal officers of the prison went to her, told her that she certainly should be admitted, and begged her to be calm. She promised to be quite calm ; but it was apprehended, from the woful condition in which her health and feelings ap peared to be, that the unfortunate convict would have to un dergo a scene of affliction' exceeding any which he had yet endured. The officer went up to inform Mr. Fauntleroy that she was in the prison. " Yes," said he, " I expected her, God help her; bring her t o me ." The o fficer then conducted, or rather . carried, 3lrs. Fauntleroy into the apartment of her husband. She dropped into his arms, and was unable to utter a word for some time. The two turnkeys who attend the prisoner retired to the farthest corner of the room. The scene was one, which, even those amongst whose ordinary avocations was that of witnessing the eternal parting of wives front husbands, and fathers from children, were deeply affected at. The officer who led hei to the presence of her husbanil went over to her, and again entreated that she would be calm, and say nothing calculated to draw away her husband's mind ,from his religious contemplations.— She seemed to derive strength from . this hint of, the ne cessity of checking her feelings, and she talked to him for a considerable time without interruption front sobs and t w e h ar o s : th l e `he u i n r r p o r r i t n u c n i a p t a e l c r o ft !: I %; e e r rsa n d o o p n ed h a a d m re i t' b er e e l n ie z d to , t w h o ci u r ld so b n e , brought up with the fear of (Joel constantly before his eyes, and the terror of his parent's fate ever present to his imagination,— The son occasionally Spoke a few words of consolation to both, assuring them of the love he had for them, and his determina tion to live free frpm reproach. At the expiration of a full hour spent in this manner, the officer entered, and taking Mrs. Fauntleroy by the hand, quietly led her away from her bus band, without waiting for the ceremony of farewell, and before she thought she was from his side,the door was closed for ever between them. For this sudden sepitratiOn which the officer had contrived to accomplish with such humane ingenuity, Mrs. F. was not prepared. She screkned, and supplicated to be re. admitted; but when the officer told her that her poor husband would not be able to bear it, she acquiesced, and after hay. ' ing been relieved by a•proluae flood of tears, returned with her son, and the Rev. Mr. Springett, who was waiting outside the room, and who, we understand, suggested the mode of separat ing them. Soon after the departure of Mrs. F. and her son, Mr. Fauntleroy 's brother and sister 'came to pay their last visit. This scene was also exceedingly heart-ren ding; but the pre sence of the Rev. Mr. Cotton, tulip entered and spoke in a cheer ful. tone to them, in'a great measure dissipated the horrors of the interview. Mr. Fauntleroy requested that the Ordinary would administer the Sacrament to them all: This was done in the most solemn and impressive manner. After which the Ordinary left the room. This interview occupied nearlv two hours, and after it closed, Mr. F. expressed that he was content.; that God had enabled him to go through the worst part of his earthly sufferings, and that the moment Of execution - would be as nothing to him. CONDEMNED SERMON. Yesterday, nearly two hours before the eommene?,ment of ' .service in the chapel of New ate numbers of persons assembled at the entran ce . The Sheriffs had issued tickets, but we be lieve that in their anxiety to give as much accommodation as possible on the occasion to the multitudes who wished to be present, they were rather too liberal. Whether this was the case or not, thete were, when the chapel was quite full, great numbers of resjpectable persons on the outside. A very general report wag in circulation during the last two or three days, that Mr. Fauntleroy had made up his mind to absent himself from the chapel ; but although he certainly; soon after the Recorder's report was communicated to him, expressed an objection to ap pear in the chap e l, he soon yielded to the Ordinary's request that he would attend divine service. At a quarter after ten o'clock, the public were admitted to the gallery attic chapel (the whole of the lower part being now appropnateci to the prisoners.) There were no more than three or four ladies present. Imme diately afterwards the turnkeys and other officers of the prison entered the body of the chapel 'with the crowds of prisoners, condemnedentere the tried and untried. Those who were condemned to die and were respited, sat immediately opposite to the publie gallery ; th ose who have not been tried sat under the gallery to the left o f t h e pulpit. Harris, the convict whose case was not repented , and l w a h rge o of pewin course the e middletillremains n t r in t ( l i t er e cla called sentencet o deat h,tlle pew, and opposite to him sat the convict who was th e great objeFt of the public curiosity and astonishment. M r , F aun ,. leroy was accompanied by the Reverend Mr. Springett, who sat on his right, and Mre Baker,' who eat on his left hand. —There were also in the same pew, Mr. Forbes, one of his solicitors; Mr. Wadd, his medical attendant; and a gentle. man who has testified his friendship ter Mr. Fauntleroy in the most unequivocal manner in the whole progritiB of his case. Mr. Fauntleroy betrayed no emotion upon entering the chapel. lie sat without raising his eyes to those around him . In 'fact, he presented the same appearance which he main tained in the Old, Bailey Dock upon his trial, and iteton the day on which sent morning pu of death eves pas s ed upon Il When the rs Commenced, he put on his q+ectaclo, and seemed to fix his attention upon the book which he hel d in he k. hand in conjunction with Mr. Springett. He was dressed in A new suit of black. The whole be the arrangements were cake• laced to strike those who had `Dever wimessed such a scene be fore most awfully. In the psalms, lessons, and prayers, there were passages which were applicable to the case, and those he seemed to mark by a solemn motion of the head. He joined in the responses with great apparent fervour,and when theOrdhere came to the words ." Oh!, Lord, make haste to help us !" he raised up his eyes, and repeated the supplication in a most earnest manner. He leaned lus head upon his hands, which vete clasped toether, where tberayers of the congreyation 'verge:: • quested "for him who awaited the awful execution of the lair and when the .collect in the Communion service imploring the ,favour of the Divine Being to be shed upon the King' was' read, he manifested an extraordinary degree of earneatn ese The Ordinary havin finished the litur , which he re ad im pressively, he proce -Wed to the pulpit, where, after &prayer In which there was no peculiarity,_ he delivered a Lemon upon g the first Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians, chap. 10, verse 12, in whieb'are the words —" Let him that thinketh he stsneeth, take heed lest he fall."—The Ordinary, in his openin t g, old , that it sometimes happened that offences were brought to ligh sa peculiar in their nature, and so alarming in their extent, es inflict.
