Ti if' is' (514 C. SOLEII QUIS DICIME FALSUM AUDEAT: LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, FEB. 1, 1825. The Paris Papers of Saturday arrived last night. Their contents, with the exception of a few articles which we have inserted in a pre ceding column, are entirely destitute of interest to the English reader. Tt►e Nuremberg Correspondent of the 23d Jan. Contains an account of the intrigues of CoLoco 'nova and his adherents, which she.vs too plainly that they were leagued with the Turks to crush the independence of their country. To the courage and intrepidity of their naval heroes are the Greeks chiefly indebted for their escape from the guilty and deep-laid plots of their own coun trYrnen, in which we lament to observe they were aided by European Agents, wearing the mask of Pilil-Irellenes, or Friends of Greece. FROM THE FIIQ'ITTItUS OP 'ITALY, .1 . ,\1 , T. We have - lust received' a remarkable report from Corfu, dated '9, from whi c h . we make the following extract :—" The. freedom and the independence of Greece were lately exposed to great danger. The happy events in the-middle of Novem- ' herhave happily averted it, and the protection of Heaven will do the rest. By the occurrences before the last -campaign, Colocotroni, Mauromichali Largos , and their adherents had l ost a ll credit. The Government generously pardoned them, considering the services which they ,had previously done to the causb of the Greeks. It had the intention , of again employing them in a more confined sphere, Because it hoped; that, being - cured of their delusions, t hey would endeavour to study the interest of their country. - But it was deceived in its expectation's. A report had, long since been spread that Colocotroni had peen carrying on secret negociation s with the Turks, and that Maurcmichak had re eeirea Turkish Agents from Candia, and had kept uP'a corm. BPondenee with the Turkish Commander-in-chief in that 'land. These reports, however, met with no credit, and even the Go vernment which caused these chiefs to be watched, could t r un obtain an accurate information respecting their in , But n ow. the important discovery has been made, not I'9' that there was a former correspondence between these chi' that bat that it was renewed at the end of last summer, 7 1 en the Porte seriously turned its attention to the conquest ? the Alorea. To prevent all suspicion, the negociation is said • thr ough have b een carr i e d on t hi s t i me not t h roug h G ree k s, b ut , I ; i r cnigh European agents (whom we will not particularise). ' ese agents pretended to be Phil-Hellenes, who were come to ~e '' illerea to serve the cause of the Greeks. Every thing was r a nged, and the libertieide military was concluded.— roin that time Colocotroni made preparations under rions p re t exts. I t was resolved,- that as soon as Ihrah im , pasha s h ou ld l an d i n the Poloponnesus, Colocotroni should ls , 4ue a proclamation, declaring in his favour, and join him with all his followers. The Greek Government learned nothingof these negociations. It was not till Ibrahim Paella was driven back to the Asiatic Coast, that it was informed of what had passed, and this from a confidant of Colocotroni, who betrayed him. The Government immediately took its measures accordingly, anti the ambitious Chief, seeing his plans betrayed, resolved on civil war. He was defeated, but had the good fortune to escape. It is believed he will leave the Morea. Mauromichali is said to have had no share in the last plot. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 9.5 th ultimo, received this morning, communicates no political intelligence but the failure of the liberticidal en terprize of the insurgent Greek Chieftains, the particulars of which have been already before our Readers. S INGAPORE.—There is a very interesting, ar ticle in 010 last Number of the. Orkniat Herald, o ) tt the i m p ortance o f continuing Singapore a free "rt, and it is highly deserving the a ttenti on o f the Mercantile Interest; as we have reason to ap prehend the East India Company are deter mined that its trade shall be subject to the re strictions which prevail in their other settlements. Though his MAJESTY'S general state of healtl iSV erygood, it is still doubtful whether it would be safe or prudent for him to gratify the wish he has expressed to open the Session of Parliament HI person on Thursday next-; and consequently 110 preparations for that purpose have yet been made. The Address will be - made in the House •of Peers by Lord DUDLEY and WARD, and se conded by Lord Goa T—in the Commons it will be moved and seconded by Lord LEvEsoN C OWER and Mr. FLEMING, the Member for Rampshire.--(Morning Paper.) At one o'clock yesterday afternoon the Cabi net 'Ministers ass e mbl e d at the Foreign Office, Downing -street. Among them were— ,4.The Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Wellingon, the Earls of werpool, Westmorland, and Bathurst, Mr. t Secretary Pel, Secretary Canning, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Iris count Melville, Mr. Wynn, Mr. Huskisson, &c.—The Cabinet did not break up till past five o'clock Yesterday the LORD CHANCELLOR and Count 41 ETEN, the Russian Ambassador, had audiences of the KING. Letters were yester d ay rece i ve d f rom Li s b on t the 17th ult. Considerable surprise is ex pressed i n these letters , principally coming from liritish residents, that the first public intimation O f ! th e intentions of the British Cabinet regarding °lttli America should be derived to the Conti nental nations through the medium of the Portu guese Government. Of course this acicnowledg 'Meta extends no further than the conclusion of 'commercial treaties; but it was generally re- Ported in Lisbon that Sir WILLIAM A'CouRT had delivered a formal Note of the unconditional 11c knowled gement of the Southern Amer i can States by the Pending Great Britai n . Upon the subject of negociations between Portugal and Brazil, these letters are entirely silent. Letters from Corfu state, that the Greek Go vernment has received from its secret agents at Alexandria, positive information that the Viceroy 5 Egypt has resolved to maintain a strict neutra in the event of his being required by the SULTAN to undertake a fifth campaign against the Greeks. Letters from Gibraltar, dated January 10, . state, that the accounts from Spain were so dis couraging that no shipments to that country could be advised. The lvipes which had been enter . tained that cotton goods would be admitted into Spain upcn payment of duty would not, it was thought, be realized. The King of FRANCE, on the representation of the French Academy, has settled a pension of 2,000 francs on the descendants of the. great, CoIiNEILLE. THE THEATRE. Dnuay-LANE.—We lament, for the honour of the Dui :n.4, the best invention ever devised for the moral improvement of Society, mingling in struction with amusement, that we have to record another scene of riot, turbulence, and mischief, which took place last night at this Theatre. The Play that was to have been represented wasMAs sINGEIeS old Comedy, A New J - Vaq to Pay Old Debts, but previous to the drawing up of the curtain every portentous indication of an approaching storm was to be heard. The pit was filled almost immediately after the doors were opened, and we regret to my that it was filled with a turbulent assemblage, who had no other view than to stifle public judgment, and to render Mr. KEAN triumphant. The tumult be came more stormy when the Performers appeared, 'am( reached its height on the entrance of Mr. KERN. This violence continued through the first two Acts, constantly more violent when Mr. KLAN appeared. At length Mr. ELLISTON came forward, accompanied by Mr. KEAN, who however retired to the back of the stage. Mr. Er.msToN in vain, by deprecatory action, at tempted to ..,_obtain a hearing. his supplica tory attitude, lasted about a qoarter of an hour. During part of the time he shook hands -with Mr. K r..% sr, and seemed intended to betoken the harmony that subsisted between them. This circumstance, however, had no influence upon the spectators, for audience the) , cannot be styled. In the Course of his appeals, by action, Mr. EttAsToN advanced, and took up an orange that, among many other siMilar missiles, had been thrown upon the stage, and held it with a kind , monitory look to the people, and then, after re ferriOg to the performers behind, shook his head " more in sorrow than in anger ;" but all his pa thetic motions were without effect ; he then left the stage, and Mr. K EAN, convinced that all attempts to obtain a patient hearing would be • fruitless, fesumed his theatrical character of Sir Giles 011erreach, and the Play proceeded in ac tion, but not at all in recitation. The dress circle was not fully attended,and there was a sprinkling of ladies, pparently genteel, who seem to take no interest in the passing scene, but what related to their personal safety, for oranges, apples, &c. were thrown from the pit into the dress circle, and some hard substance hit the breast of the writer of this article, t bough lie was not near any party who took a lead in the question, and it was evident that, to avoid this hostility, they were obliged to take part with the advocates for Mr. KEAN, Several of the. lower chandaliers were injured: -Numerous placards were issued of the same description with those which we noticed on the former occasions, but unworthy of farther at tention. The galleries were filled, but not the third tier of boxes. On the final conclusion of the play some cessation of tumult took place, and, during its progress, more of what the other Performers had to -say was heard than on the preceding nights. Several of the Public Journals of this day record passages from the play, which they state to have been taken up by the public, and applied to Mr. KEAN, but we do not think, from what we observed, that it was possible for them to be heard so as to admit of being thus re corded. This reign of outrage, with little inter mission, remained to the end of the Play. The Farce was Old and Young, and Miss C. FISHER was acting with applause, when the tumult again broke forth, and vehement calls for Mr. KEAN. At length he came forward in his usual dress, and, after some difficulty and great interruption, was permitted to utter the following speech : " Twill make any submission to an English audience that can become an English 'charactcr.—(Applause and some hoot ing.)—l hope, for the honour of my country, from which after twenty nights I shall retire for ever—( Cries of" No, no," front part of the pit); 1 hope, for the honour of my country, that the report of this persecution will never find its way into foreign journal.." Ile then withdreW amillst mingled applause and marks of displeasure, and the farce was suffered to go on. flow this matter is to be settled we know not, as we anticipate nothing but a repe tition of the same turbulence wheneVer. Mr. KEAN appears. It is proper, however, to offer a few words in vindication of the Public Press. Some of the daily Journals have made bitter comments on the conduct of Mr. KEAN, and others have been warmly in his favour, but for the honour of them all, they have never lost sight of morality-, or at, tempted to palliate his conduct, as reported in a Court of Law, and it is impossible to suppose that the most hostile Journals could have induced the riotous wretches who attended the Theatre to enter into the cause, as perhaps most of them were unable to read the contents of those Jour nals, much less to comprehend their reasoning, or to relish their oblique satire and sarcastic inu endues. We have faithfully recorded the events of this disgraceful warfare, so far as they pre sented themselves to our notice, and sincerely hope, that the general feelings of au impartial Public will be manifested on all future occasions, put an end to party dissensions on either side, give fair scope to theatrical talents, and restore the freedom of our great National Amusement. PUBLIC CnAnurres.—lt is rumoured that it is in the contemplation of tl►e CHANCELLOR of the ExcnEonen. to include the repeal of the LEGACY DUTY on bequests to PUBLIC CHA ITI ES, kith that of other Taxes, in tl►e approaching Session of Parliament. EnwAnn EARL, Esq., who has been several years Chairman of the Board of Customs at Edinburgh, has been appointed a Commissioner of his Majesty's Customs in London. The " 'Merchant Company of Leith" have sent him a Letter of Thanks, for his past conduct, and of regret at his departure. The " Chamber of Commerce" of Edinburgh have sent him a similar expression of their feelings, and testimony of " the sense they entertain of his intimate knowledge of all matters connected with the Revenue; of his uniform suavity of manners on every occasion, when the Trade either individually or collectively had occasion to consult him ; and who, while he never compromised the interest of the Crown, was most useful in obviating the difficulties which occur in Mercantile trans actions." Lord BRAYMIOOK, we regret to hear, has been seriously indisposed. No fewer than 1,100 stage-coaches are esti mated to pass daily through the Borough of Southwark. Miss FOOTE is to make h er first appearance on Saturday next at Covent-Garden Theatre, in the Belles.' Stratagem. ~ „ c•• ~c,- . .'t4,3 -: , .

The Duke of York has reconitnence.d his dinner parties at York House. The first was on Sunday hit, to a party of twelve. _ . The Duke of Sussex gave a dinner, on Sunday last, to a party of his Royal Highness's ftientls. The apartments in Kensington Palace arc now admirably well calculated for en tertaining- large parties. The improvements display much taste. Lord Colchester entertained a distinguished party at dinner yesterday, at his house in Spring-gardens. Two separatiomi are talked of in the Fasionahle World, but as two Establishments are more expensive than one, the differ ences are likely to be adjusted. Yesterday morning the Duke of York left his residence in Stable Yard, St. James's, in his travelling carriage and four, for ' the seat of the Marquis of Salisbury, at A-ldborough, on a shoot '4l,* excursion. Soon after the breaking up of the Cabinet Council yesterday, Mr. Secretary - Canning left the Foreign Office for Gloucester bulge. ' 'll , r. Secretary Peel and family removed yesterday from Greats.

Ilis premature death, which occurred on Saturday last, was caused by his immersing his foot when attacked by erysipelas, into cold water, which fixed the disease in his stomach, and proved fatal to him, in his 49th year. We understand the chief part of his large per sonal and other property has been left to his nephew, Captain MAGENts, late of the Royal Fusileers, nephew to the Earl of Enniskillen, and one of the Commissioners of Civil Accounts. The gallant Captain lost an arm at the battle of Albuera.— (Dublin Paper.) P 0 E T Y. ' SONG.

Wantley, the pedestrian, undertook yesterday morning, for 20 sovereigns, to go over the six bridges in ;15 minutes, which is much less time than it has ever been done in. The task has been often attempted lately, and Want'ey king a ten miles an hoar runner, the distance can be ascertained to be about five miles. Front the Surrey side of Vauxhall Bridge the pedestrian next crossed Westminster Bridge, up the.steps and over Waterloo, down Fleet.street, and over Maelariats, down the Stir ley'Aiiid 'and over Southwark, down Thari't ' , and then over lionthm Bridge. The match was performed in 34 minutes and 211 seconds, but with much difficulty. The steps up the bridges were the greatest task. Madame CATALAN] having received very kind and favourable offers to be in Paris doting the ensuingfdes, ,he intends to arrive there in the beginning of April ; but before her departure she is to give some Concerts 'in London, which will take place during the month of March next. A report was very prevalent yesterday at the West end of the town, that a Noble Peer had been called out. by a country. Gentleman whom he had injured in a tender point. The story will no doubt be eagerly laid hold of by the A. - caulks, as placing their hero on a level with the Peerage. —(Nero Times.) A new hall, or guard-room, has been erected in front of the House of Lords tier the Peers' servants to wait in. It occupies the space left by the circle for the Royal en trance from the Lords' door. The servants, heretofore, had the piazza and a lobby only. The Marquis of AYLESBURY has just returned from a tour through Italy, and brought with him, besides much valuable iniOrmation respecting the Opera in general, the score of the Crusaders in Egypt, an opera by Mayerbach, now performing at nearly all the Italian theatres. His Lord ship has presented this piece to Mr. Elie:l.s, and it is intended to be produced at the King's Theatre early in the ensuing sea son, which will commence in a fortnight or three weeks from the present time. The commercial house of TAssts, in Orleans, well known in the Peninsula by their great speculations in Spanish wool, have just concluded a contract with FERM NAND's Government for the new clothing of the Spanish troops.—( French Paper.) The case of MA n v Queen of Scots, •which has been but imperfectly understood by all, save his torians and antiquaries, during the two past cen turies, is now cleared from its obscurity and the trammel's of party and prejudiced writers, by Dr. CAMPBELL, who was the first that plaCed the authenticity of Ossian's Poems on ratibtuttgrouirds. The Doctor asks with Terence— Consens ne to posse reperire ullam mulieram qute careat culpa? After giving the Love Letters from the Queen of ScoTs to BOTHWELL, he adds, the adVocacy of all the distinguished writers on the subject of the QUEEN'S guilt or innocence respecting the murder of her husband, and illustrates the whole collec tion by a mass of State Papers, which authenti cate and render this Work one of the most in teresting volumes that have issued from the press for several years. Dr. CAmPnimr., we understand, is employed on a new and enlarged edition •of ROBERTSON'S History .of Scotland, which has long been considered capable of emen dations, and, indeed, is a desideratum. Yesterday an English Gentleman arrived in town from 13oulogne, bringing with him the keel of the prawn built exclusively for the accommo dation of BUONAPARTE, to accompany the flotilla on his Bobadilean threat to invade Great Britain. SUlClDE.—Matilda Jennings, who lately _fi gured away in the boxes and lobbies of the Opera and Theatre, put a period to her exist ence, at a miserable apartment in Duke-street, Oxford-street, on Sunday, by taking acid of sugar. The deceased, it seems, was much re duced in circumstances; which no doubt led to the rash act. II to E 8 to 11 to 10 to 24 to r.~. _. THE ARMY.

Notu ithstanding the very heavy rains, and humid weather experienced during the greater part of the. month, the Wheats continue to look kindly, and have not run so much as might be expected ; but should the present mild season continue, it will be necessary to permit the sheep to have a few days pasturage upon them to prevent their becoming too winter proud. The season has been so mild that the slug and other insects have been enabled to commit great devastation, and of consequence the labour of the farmer's friend, the rook, has been incessant; a great portion of the cold lands remain untilled, and must have of course to be sown with the spring seeds.—Barley, in consequence of the quantity required by the Scotch distillers, remains in very great request, and keeps up its very high price.—Oats and Beans turn out but very indif ferent, and maintain almost importing prices ; and indeed we should not be much supriseii to find the ports opened for seve ral sorts of Grain before the next harvest. —Huy of4ood qua lity is rather scarce, and ,will be very high in price by the spring, as it generally-happens that such mild winters as the I present always precede cold : and backward springs.—The Man -1 gel Wnrzelaud Cairots will then he in great request, and the experienced by those. who have a steele will .no donLt induce many of their neighbours to cultivate such beneficial plants.—Potatoes generally do not keep well this year; the I quantity of rain that fell just before they were harvested causes I them to decay in the burrows. LAW INTELLIGENCE. .: ~..--- COURT OF KING'S BENCH, .lAN.. 31. ( Sittings in Hilary Tcrrn for the City of Loudon, 13,y:we the • LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and a Special Jury.) MILITARY ASSAULT AND FALSE IMPRI9ONI:ENT. M'INTYRE LAYAIID. Mr. BROUGHAM stated the case to the .fury. The plaintiff had been Quarter-master-serjeant hi'thelOth Regiment of Foot, which was in 1819 stationed at Malta. The defendant was Major-General of the same regiment, and at that time was Governor in the absence of Sir Thomas Maitland. The plain tiff bad held the highest character for correctness in all the duties of his station. But there had been serious complaints by the troops of being supplied with bad pork s • but whatever delinquency there had been of this kind, it had been that of another person, who was allowed to sell out all his commissions, and, what was most extraardiaary, to rrtire on the rank of Brevet Colonel. The plaintiff was tried by a Court-Martial, and found guilty of having neglected to examine tha pork, or submit it to examination after he had received it from the Commissary. He was sentenced to be reduced to the ranks; and he was so reduced. But, after he had been thus sen tenced, General Layard, who acted as Governor, thought pro per to have the plaintiff arrested, thrown into the provost prison, and there confined from the Ist of July to the sth of October. For some days no person was allowed to see him, and during the whole of the trine his wife was not suffered to see him or converse with him, without the presence of the gaoler, who placed himself between them. The cell was a nar row, low, dark hole, without window or opening for light or air. The Jury could judge of the nature of so long a confine ment in such a place and in such a climate. The consequence was a fever, which had nearly proved fatal. His food was exa mined ; even a lemon was cut into quarters to see that no com munication was made to him. The Learned Gentleman then called witnesses to prove the facts, and powerfully ap pealed to the Jury to redress such grievous oppression and suffering. The evidence of Colonel Rate was read, from which it ap peared that General Layard had ordered the arrest and impri sonment, and that the reason was to prevent any communica tion between lU'lntyre and Major Trickey, who were believed to have conspired in the issue of the pork from the stores. Majer Trickey resigned rather than stand a Court-martial. The AT addressed the Jury, and began by expressing his conviction that they would decide according to the evidence, and not the inflamed and exaggerated state ments of Mr. Brougham. The case was defended by the Trea sury, because General Layard, who had served for many years in Spain and various other places, was now absent on the public service ; but if any one supposed that, should damages be given, the Treasury would pay it, lie was greatly mis taken. The Plaintiff's character had been good, and there fore he had been promoted ; but he lent hiniself probably to the temptations of Major Trickey. It was not because Major Trickey was superior in command that a fraudulent collusion could-be justified. The plaintiff had made an over-issue of beef without authority, and he had also withdrawn beef an& substituted unwholesome pork. This was-done in the a bsence or the officer whose duty it was to inspect the . provisions. They. fcrouunl thisno t i.supposeraud.
