tended that the one in Rugstion was net libelous, as it merely charged the plaintilt with plagiaristh. Poets had at alt . times been subject to this charge; et'eti Virgil was accused of plagiaii s i t t tbnn Homer: Not only poets, but philosophers, critics, and even statesmen--(a laugh--had been accused of it. The Learned Counsel argued, that as well might a young lady be indicted for libel, because when aceeliting her lover's proposals she accused hit of being a thief in having stolen her heart; or a man who had charge=d his companion with purloining a joke from Joe Miller, as the author of this pamphlet, for im puting plagiarism to the plaintiff. Mr. BROUGHAM wished to say, as Mr. Campbell seemed to make some allusion to him, that he had bad nothing to do with the article in the Edinburgh Review, to which he had referred. If that article contained the hundredth part of what the pamphlet imputed to it, he certainly could not Approve of it; but he had not even read it. Mr. Cr% MPBEU, disclaimed . having made any allu sion on that subject to his learned friend. The LORD GRIEF BARON told the jury, that although a charge of dishonesty was a harsh charge, yet it was one which admitted of explanation, and it was explained here. There was, moreover, no evi dence before them to'i,how that the plaintiff had in any way sustained a loss through this publication. The Jury unhesitatingly found a verdict for the defendants. DON MIGUEL. (From the Quveidienne.) 'The Prince Don Miguel quitted Vienna on the th of November, for Carlsruhe, where he will ar rive on the 4th of December. From thence he will reach the frontiers of France, and proceed direct to Paris- As soon as this intended route was-known, the French Ministry, at the suggestion of the Eng hsh Ambassador, issued orders through the police to the Portuguese Royalists, to quit Paris, in order, doubtless, that the Prince, like one detained in captivity, should not communicate with his most faithful servants. Some have been ordered to repair to Tours, others to Orleans. M. d'Aponte de Nec raon, who travelled into Germany to see his King Miguel, has been compelled to depart immediately for Bordeaux. There is not one Portuguese, down to the Faithful bearer of some letters from the Queen-- mother to her son, who has not been removed to a distance from 'the capital. • Don Miguel ivill arrive in Paris on the 15th of December, and orders are.given to allow no Portu guese to approach his person, without permission being granted either by the English Ambassador or the Charge d'Affaires from Portugal. It is wished to place ,near the Prince none but men devoted to the new systom, established by the constitution of Don Pedro, and it is dreaded that he should come in contact with any Pohuguese who could reveal to him the real situation of his people. It is believed that the Duke de Gramont, Captain of the Guards, who is perfectly acquainted with the Portuguese language, and is connected by marriage with a noble family - of that country, will be charged with high functions near the Prince, who will occupy the Palace of. l'Elysee Bourbon. Don Miguel is very much liked by our Princes and Princesses, and ..he Court is preparing for him a brilliant reception, which may efface the sombre impressions which the conduct of the French Ministry with regard to him must naturally produce on his mind. Many Royal hunting. parties are in preparation, and Madame the Duchess de Berri will give balls and brilliant soirees. We are assured that the Prince r during his sojourn at Vienna, completed his education, and cultivated the . natural talents which distinguish him. It is - not known what al. be the term of Don Miguel's stay et Paris. We arc also ignorant whe ther he will proceed direct to Lisbon or Whether the English Nvill exact that he shall pass through Lon doti - Souse persons say that during his stay at Paris, the French Ministry will place the august Prince so completely at the disposal of the English Cabinet, that a.journey to London may appear use less even to Lord Granville. Others, on the con trary, believe that he will be conducted to London, and there placed in communication with Saldanha, land the other violent partisans of the Constitutional cause. England desires at any cost to maintain her influence at Lisbon, and the residedce of a month or two in London way, perhaps, dispose him towards English ideas, and, render him favourable to the in tercourse with Great Britain. It is even said that it is the design of the English Cabinet to send Don Miguel to his brother in Brazil, and by that means to avoid the inevitable effect which his presence will produce at Lisbon. Finally, the letters from Portugal state, .that the Queen Mother and the faithful subjects of Don Mi guel, offerlip prayers for the safe return of the cap tive King. A Work is announced as on the eve of pub lication, which is likely to attract the attention of the re ligious world,, under the title of the " Oriental Mis sionary," containing some account of a Mission undertaken for thf propagation of Christian Knowledge in Arabia, and on the Banks of the Euphrates, during the years 182 And 1825. THE SAFEST SITUATION DURING A TriuNnEp. Srortat.—The safest situation in a thunder storm is in the Middle of a large room in bed, as feathers are bad cOnductors of the electric fluid, or lightning ; but Is the bell-wires readily conduct it, such bed should be re moved fromthern.- , ...1t would be as well to stand at some distance front the chimney on a woollen rug, which is a non-conductor. The safest place out of doors is in the Middle- of a field, anti not near a tree, and to stretch at full length On the ground. Ifa tree be moist, the electric fluid passes down between the hark and its substance, splitting it in all directions, and the lightning will pass to the best conductor near it ; and if any unfortunate animal be under the tree it will be killed. THE MANOR SETO R E.—A discovery was Made on Monday week, whilst digging for stone, in that part where formerly"has stood the south transept of the Abbey, f - ,f a stzbterraoeous passage, 7 feet high and 3 feet wide. This passage; like the palace, and other subsequent buildings, has evidently been formed out of the spoils of the Abbey, A 5 tho materials of which it is composed presented the usual appearance of carved mouldings, segments of arches, &c. thrown together as suited the convenience of the builders. The rude construction of this passage also F ociairn A it-to have been a work of haste, prompted by the nr 4 : s -w<f of the moment, and antiquarian conjecture has probably correctly assigned its date to those perilous times waxen the Parliament struggled with the Monarch for the preservation of the Free Constitution of England against the encroachments of " the right divine," it being sup posed to have been intended as a sally-port for the relief of the palace. For whatever further discoveries may be made amongst those interesting remains we must now be in debted to the fortuitous efforts of the workmen employed on the Yorkshire Museum, which is rapidly proceeding with, as the excavating fund is exhausted, ,and the work men paid horn it were discharged on Saturday week. A - Mason's chisel was turned up a few days ago, amongst the rubbish under the floors'of one of the apartments.— York Courant. - • _ _ . BLonr-uP OF A 1-lELL.—On Saturday night between eleven and • twelve o'clock, chief Peace-officer GOODISON, attended by a posse of Police, succeeded in apprehending eight persons at SrENces gambling-house, in Great Brunswick-street. The' room in which the com pany were assembled, watconneeted with the apartment underneath by a trap-door, through which they descended, when an alarm was given. The gentlemen were sitting round a hazard table, regarding the progress of the game with intense anxiety, when GOODISON made his appearance amongst them. Never did an apparition produce such paralysing dread on a nervous imagination. Having ascen ded the stairs which led to the trap-door, he slowly raised it and presented himself before them. Having given a signal to the patrole, they quickly followed hit vnto the room, and took into custody all the gamblers, vircom they lodged in College-street watch-house. They seized on the ha zard,tahle and other gambling apparatus found in the bnulis, as - well as the money which lay on the table. The prisoners were brought before Sir Gaaarr NEvir,LE, yes terday, for examination. Two of them are half.pay offi cers, two others are College students, and the remaining four consist of an attorney's clerk, and three gentlemen at large, whose Profession it would be difficult to define._ They were fine d 40 4- each, and ordered to find bail for their pod beliti vi 'The Magistrate intimated that he would attend a t four o'clock in the afternoon to receive their bail,. in default of "obt a i n i ng wain in durance which they should re_ übtin Morning ,Regis ter. MUSIC-=-LOGIEWS PLAN. A SYSTEM OF THE SCIENCE OF MUSIC AND PRACTICAL COMPOSITION ; INCHANTALLT COMPRISING WHAT IS USUALLY UNDER- STOOD BY THE TERibt, TliditotaH-BASS. ty J. B. LoGIEB., —GREEN, Soho-square. This work, presented to the public in Two. Parts, confers considerable credit on its ingenious author, as well on account of the systematic plan on which it is conducted, as because that plan► is too clearly explained, not to be rendered as intelligible as use ful to the most common apprehension. In treating this subject, (a subject so important to all who are gifted with a taste for the harmonic art,) Mr. Logier has judiciously commenced with the first rudimental principles ; from the consideration of which he gradually proceeds to that of the higher rules of science, leading his readers forward by the easiest possible gradations. . _ _ After laying down all the several scales, he gives a view of the circle of keys—of their enharmonic modifications—of their relative • mi nprs—their major and minor common chords —their major and minor thirds—their fundamental sevenths, together with the fundamental basses of the scales, and the most eligible methods of avoiding the anomalies of consecutive eighths and fifths. Having thus occupied the first tvtenty-two pages of his treatise, he enters upon the diversifications of the common chord, which he exhibits in the style or manner of variations, furnishing both examples and exercises in the • various keys. These are followed by representations of the several positions of the common chord, the manner in which we ought to commence the task of writing in four parts, the nature and effect of the seventh, and the best mode of its introduction. Certain rules-are then given for accompanying the. scale, by which an almost infinite variety of effect may be produced. We are next led to the specific character of each of the four parts of the harmony, and their occasional local inter ,changes, for the purpose of paetieular advantages in construction or effect. From these important particulars we are carried to the consideration of the vibratory laws of strings, and are made acquainted with the means by which, in imitation of Nature, we may supply the multifa rious scales of the boundless r egions of sound, and receive a sere, though faintly-perceptible indication, that, in music, scientific research should succeed natural instruction—that is, should be founded upon facts, previously observed and examined ; or that (speaking, perhaps, still more clearly) our task should commence where that of Nature ceases. In treating of simple and compound dissonances, and the intervals they suspend, as also their inverted basses, Mr. L. has manifested much address as a communicator of theoretic intelligence, and the exercise in modulation with which he ac companies and illustrates his principles, is happily adapted to its intended use. The remarks made on cadences, though occasionally changing the time of the same movement, the rules for the introduction of dissonances, and for the judi cious selection of inverted basses, are well calcu lated to so advance the knowledge and improve the taste of the student, as to qualify him to form a judgment of his own. Arriving at the province of open or 'extended har mony, the author naturally becomes more elaborate. He takes .a view of double counterpoint in the oc tave, goes on to the consideration of the chord of the minor ninth, and its variously-designated inver sions, and gives rules for modulating by melodial in tervals, which are luminously exemplified, and.fol lowed by well-studied though concise explanations _of the chord of the sharp sixth, both simple and compound ; a. chord prominently essential both to the dignity and the grace_ of composition. The minor scales are lucidly defined, and the har monies of ' the major ninth and the minor ninth are exhibited in all their various for Ms. The method of harmonizing a melody, whether in the. treble, alto, tenor, or bass, and the art of changing the places of the several parts, are clearly shown; by. which the reader is enabled to harmonise a melody, and furnished with a new scope for the exertion of his talents. The observations on accented and unaccented passing notes, are particu larly useful : their objects and consequences arc amply discussed, and as diversely demonstrated as ingenious and sedulous contrivance could effect. In the 214th and four succeeding examples, Mr. Logier has successfully endeavoured to lay down and make manifest the principle of 'auxiliary notes, and the doctrine of harmonic imitation; and in appro. -priate melodies has exhibited the embellishing and effective properties of these accessaries to good composition. After a multiplied diversity of enlightening and highly essential matter, the author proceeds to that im portant portion of his subject, Rhythin; a department of the musician's science in which his feelings find the most gratifying latitude for their dev'elopenient; in which his soul can best express its passions, and the mysterious effects of combined and modulated sound be most strikingly realized. On this topic Mr. Lo gier dwells with the necessary diffuseness, rendering its beauty perspicuous, and its importance manifest. After explaining the . construction of melodies, and* their periods, and the necessity of s ystem in comp.. sition (the exposé of which .constitutes one of the most original and interesting features o f the work), the theorist guides the young composer through the introductory paths of musical azaborsh, instructs hi m ' in the use of his already acquired and accumulating knowledge, anti while he creates, justifies the hope of future proficiency ; a hope further s t r engthened by the advantage the studen t .d erive s from the ju dicious analyzation of selections from Corelli, Haydn, and other classical masters. Did our limits allow, inanY other parts of this in genious publication would hav e the notice due to their respective merits; but, t o use the author's , own language, in page 193, 4. It would have led us far beyond the limits necess a rily prescribed to us." We must, therefore, confine what we further have to say to a few general obs e rvations Though, viewing this systent of the Science of 11Iusic in the aggre g ate, w e cannot but allow it to possess very considerable merit, and to be calculated to greatly benefit musical Students (as we under stand the use' of it in Mr. Lo gier's own Academy has already proved)) yet we , do not mean to speak defects; of it as a work free from but as partially partaking of those imperfections which experience has long since taught the public to expect in all didactic . publications. The first error in theproduction before us, is in its title. Mr. Logier does not, in fact, present us with a systcto ofthescieneeef nzusie,but with a system of musical instruction—a system purely his own—and w hich, as embracing the whole course of an harmonic education, and being eminently calcu lated to effect its laudable purpose, confers upon his industry, and up o n his abilities, no common degree of honour. W e are not only pleased with the nu merous demonstrations he adduces of his science and' i nge „.„i ty ,. but with the ardour or zeal he every where evinces in dispensing information, and en lightening his readers on the delightful subject of his lucubrations; but the very intenseness of his ardour, the v er y warmth of his zeal, has, we must betrayed him into what we consider a somewhat a nomalous 'arrangement of dome portion of his say, betray materials. N o t always concluding the topic imme diately.before him, he passes prematurely to more forward Points, which necessitates a kind of retro gradeprocess. These, and some few obscurities, together with a certain degree of quaintness, and, perhaps a little occasional pedantry of manner, form the sign of our objections; which, however, are too strongly contrasted by the great and numerous merits of the work, and the magnitude of its utility to aspirants in musical study, not to be of but very diminutive consequence. The present Treatise, in deed, is the best concocted, and most comprehensive practical instruction book, in its particular kind, that has yet appeared. It has i n i t , s o much of the authors own p ec uliar and ex c l us i ve inctlxl; so much novelty of design, and propriety of conduct ; that it is not going too far to call it a production sui generic ; to say that it is not less distinguished by its originality of character, than by its so per fectly supplying what. has long been a desideratum in musical literature; and that it cannot fail to pro mote the cultivation-of a science at once rational and delightful, and the 'interests of which Mr. Logiel has evidently so much at heart. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE FRENCH PAPERS. (From the ConstitutionneL) LISBON, Nov. 17.—The Government Gazelle yesterday morning published the following official declaration - • (MINISTRY FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS.) It results from despatches received from the Por tuguese Legation at. Madrid, that the Government of his Catholic Majesty has again directed the Cap tain-General of Provinces bordering on this king dom, to cause to retire 60 leagues from the frontier all the Portuguese military who have sought an asy lum in Spain, and that it - has in like manner deter mined that the citizens who have taken refuge with in the said kingdom, who, up to the present period, were established within six leagues of the frontier, should retire into the interior of Spain to the dis tance of twenty leagues. This measure was taken on the 22d October, and - on the . 2d November a communication on the part of that Cabinet 'was re ceived, relative to doubts which had arisen, whether if the emigrant Portuguese who, after having re entered Portugal, should return into Spain to seek an asylum, it should be allowed them. His Catho lic Majesty has thought fit to declare, that for the future an asylum is to be refused :to those who may solicit for the second time. These orders are a ma nifest proof of the good faith of the Spanish Go vernment, -and of its sincere desire to proceed in every way so as to avoid any pretext whatever, which might cause any change in the good under standing which happily subsists between the two nations. (raivATE coaaesrownENce.) • MADRID, Nov. 2.—M. Cordova, Secretary to our inbassy at Constantinople, 'has just arrived here with a treaty concluded by us with the Porte rela tive to our navigation of the Black Sea. There is again talk of negociating a loan; it is the house of Hope, of Amsterdam, that the Govern ment now addresses itself to. The Queen has made a lottery of all the jewels with which she was presented since her arrival at Valencia, in order that the produce may be given to the poor.

(From the -Quotidienne,) MADRID, NOV. 22.--The Marquis de Torte, who was already on board a ship ready to leave Tarragona, came on shore in puler ,to lie confronted with the brigand chief Ballester ; the latter declared that it was the Marquis who had supplied him with the money necessary for the raising of his band; in con sequence, the Marquis was committed to the prison of Tarragona. Ballester has since been hanged. The MercheAts of Barcelona having consulted the Count D'Espagne, as to what present his Majesty would receive with most plea Sure, have, on the General's advice, decided, that they would ask the f avour o f b e ing allowed to clothe 'the Ist and 2d Regiments of the Guard, who are immediately to arrive at Barcelona, and whose equipment is in a very wretched state, taking into 'consideration that t h e s e tw o regiments, which formed part of the Army Of Observation of the Tagus, have been campaigning for a long time., PARIS, DEC. ?..—His Majesty Gustavus Adolphus, formerly King of Sweden, who, according to some German Papers, was about to take a journey into . T u rkey, is at present engaged in visiting the Low C o untries. This Prince arrived on the 26th, in the morning, at Utrecht; in the evening be went to the Theatre, and on the next day set off for the gape. On Tuesday night the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE gave a ball and supper at their residence in Bushy-park. Their Royal Highnesses dined in a private manner at five o'clock to avoid interfering with the pre parations for the entertainment. The grand entrance to the mansion was brilliantly illuminated ; the ball-room and the state suite of apartMents leading to it were most taste fully decorated on the occasion. Prince Lxorotn was the only member of the Royal Family present. The company consisted ofhetween 400 and 500 of the Nobility and Gentry. The Duchess of GLOUCESTER left the re3i dence of the Princess AuausTA. in the King's Palace, St: James's, yesterday morning, (where the Royal Duchess has been staying for some weeks past on a visit to her Royal Highness), for, her Royal Highness's scat in Bagsbot-park. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday after noon at the Foreign-office, Downing-street, the summonses for the assembling of which were issued on Tuesday morning. A short time previous . to the assembling of the Cabinet, the Marquis of ANGLESEA arrived at the Foreign-office in his carriage and four, having come to town from Hastings, for the purpose of attending the Council. The other Ministers present were, the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Mar quess of LaNsnOWNE, Viscount ,GODERICH, the Earl of CAP.LISLE, Earl DUDLEY, Viscount PALSIERsTON, Mr. HussassoN, Mr. WYNN, the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER, Mr. CHARLES GRANT, Mr. STURGES BOURNS, and Mr. T1E142 , 7 . 11'. The Ministers assembled at. half past three o'clock, and continued in deliberation till half-past six o'clock. Prince ESTERHAZY, the Austrian Ambas-. sador,'Prinee LrEvEN, the Russian Ambassador, and the Marquisqle PaLamELLa, the Portuguese Ambassador, trans acted business with Earl DUDLEY yesterday, at the Foreign office. The DUKE of WELLINGTON arrived - at his residence, Apsley-house, Piccadilly, yesterday morning. The Committee appointed to conduct the Concert, to be given to-morrow at Albion-hall, London wall, for the benefit of the Spanish and Italian Refugees, present their respectful compliments to the Editor of the Ti m es, and beg to inform him that the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR has most handsomely' condescended. to state that he will attend time same, with his family and friends.-- Times.—[We earnestly hope the proposed Concert will meet that encouragement which its generous object so enti-; nently deserves—an object not more worthy, of the patron age of a free people, than melancholy, that the votaries of freedom should ever be redmiced to require that charity which themselves were the first to bestow.--E 44 ] COMMENCEMENT OF THE SEASON IN THE FASHIONABLE WORLD.—Mr. —, purveyor of animal substances, residing in the neighbourhood Of Grosvenor square, some days ago issued car& of invitation for last evening, which ran thus :—" Mr. and,Mre. at home on Wednesday evening, Dcc. 5. Cards and quadrilles." And accordingly last night there was a most numerous as sembly at his house, the corner of street. Mr. GUN TER, the celebrated confectioner, of Berkeley-square, sup. plied a splendid supper on the occasion, and a distinguished knight of the thimble officiated in aid of time worthy host, as master of the ceremonias.— Times. We hope - that the intelligence contained in the two following paragraphs (which we extract from the Brighton Gazette) is incorrect, or at least exaggerated : " We understand that Mr. KEAN coutiuues in a most alarming state of health, so that it is doubtful whether he will be able to play again.' Two ulcers have, we are told, made their appearance • on his face, and he is altogether in a most debilitated condition. Our readers will remember that we were the first to point out last year the serious ill ness of Mr. KEAN."—" Since the above was written, we have received the following from the same correspondent, by whom we were furnished with the account of NIL KEAN'S illness last year Mr. KEAN, whose precarious state of health we have repeatedly noticed, is now so bad as to render it probable that he never will be able to appear on the stage again. The truth is, his nose is sunk, from the erysipelas having attacked that organ." '--Brighton I Gazette. PRICES OF STOCKS 'PHIS Rank Stock 3 per Cent. Red. 82N 3 per Cent.

The Paris Morning Papers of Monday, which reached us in usual course last night, con tained nothing which had not been anticipated by the Express received in the morning. The Constdutionnel, indeed, states that the Spanish Government is about to apply to the great house of HOPE, of Amsterdam, for a new loan. It does not surprise us to hear that applications of that nature are made in any quarter possessing the means of furnishing a large sum—but we should, indeed, be surprised if we heard that any such application had been complied with. The character of FERDINAND and of his Minister is too well known, and too justly appreciated by all the monied interests of Europe to warrant any expectation that the Capitalists of any country would again trust them—or the national faith of Spain. A few extracts from these Papers are given in preceding column. It is expected that his Royal Highness Don MIGUEL, the future Regent of Portugal, will arrive in this country on Monday next. A yacht is to ,proceed to Calais for the purpose of bring ing over the illustrious visitor. His Royal High- ness. will remain in England only six days ; he will then proceed direct to Lisbon ; and, we are happy to add, that on his arrival there the Bri tish Army in Portugal, and the Fleet in the Tagus, will return to. England. This Measure has been determined upon and we heartily con gratulate the country on the unexampled success which has attended the measures which Mr. CAN NING adopted with respect to Portugal. By the arrival of the British Army in Portugal the ex plosion which was about to take place in that Kingdom, and which would, in its consequences, have overthrown the Constitution, and, perhaps, the throne, was averted ; by its presence, rebellion has been quelled, and foreign invasion prevented. During its stay there, all the liberal institutions have been established and consolidated, and Don MfouEL will return to his Kingdom under the most solemn obligations to maintain those ,insti tutions, and under such other limitations as the people can now enforce, without the aid of foreign forces. Our army will have accomp lished all the great objects which it went to effect, with out bloodshed, a nd will re turn to this country with incre ase d honour, from the respect which its discipline and high character have acquired for it during-its employment In the Kingdom of our most faithful Ally. 4 Reports have been in circulation for some days that, in consequence of the present posture of affairs, Parliament was to be assembled for the dispatch of business earlier than had been in tended. This we believe to be the case, as it is now said that it will meet on the 21st of January, instead of the Bth of February ; but the principal reason for this measure - is, we have reason to believe, to enable the Speaker to issue new writs for the Election of Members for places, the re presentatives of which have vacated their seats during the present recess. By this means, Mr. HusicissoN, Mr. HERRIES, Mr. CHARLES GRANT, and other Members, will be,again re turned, and able to attend in their places by the day on which it was originally intended to con vtne Parliament, prior to which, we understand, none but common► place business will be gone into. The tranquillity which prevails generally through the country, enables his MAJESTY'S Ministers to effect a very considerable reduction of expence, by discontinuing the services of the Yeomanry Cavalry in those districts in which they have not been called upon. to act in aid of the civil power, during the last ten years. - This most respectable body of men will retire from their military duties with the gratitude of their fellow-citizens, and with a consciousness of having deserved well of their country. It is the natural force of England, and that which must be looked to again as her best safeguard against domestic troubles, if such should ever in future disturb her quiet. Happily the good sense of the people, r.nd the full occupation of the lower classes, at present render it unnecessary to require the respectable men who compose our Yeomanry, to trouble themselves with military service, and we hope, on their retirement, they may long continue to enjoy the otium cum diguitate. New York Papers to the 17th ult. reached us last: night. They do not contain any political news of importance. An extensive ,fire has de stroyed great part of the town of Mobile. Bombay Papers to the Ist of August have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, per the Triumph, Capt. GREEN, which sailed from thence on the 4th, they con tain little that is interesting, except a handsome testimony to the eminent services and character of Sir THOMAS Mwin.o, whose long services, it is observed, and admirable qualities, had gained hiM• the appellation of the Father of the People. On the 17th of July, a Bombay Courier Extra ordinary was published, expressing the deep regret of the Governor-in-Council, at the melan choly intelligence of the death of Major-General Sir THoAtAs Mumto, Bart. K.C.1.3., and orders the Flag at the Castle to be hoisted half staff high at noon, and remain so until sunset, and that 68 minute guns be fired from the Apollo Battery, as a testimony of the high respect enter tained by the Governor in Council, for the dis tinguished talents and eminent public virtues of this lamented officer. We have received this forenoon the Allge meiue Zeitung of the 29th instant. It furnishes from the Florence Gazette some interesting telligence, through Zante and Corfu, of the state of affairs in Greece. IBRAHINI PACHA, who ~ , vas on his way to relieve Padres at the time of the battle, was recalled to ,Navarin in consequence of the destruction of his fleet. The .Egyptian troops in Patras, are said to have quitted that place, and retreated to Modon and Coron, and the . whole Turkish forces in rhe Morea, would appear by this account to be in a hopeless state. , We subjoin extracts : SItITRITA, .NOV. 3. The Imperial Austrian squadron in the Levant has con voyed, in the months of August, September, and October, 499 merchantmen—namely, 287 Austrian, 22'Englisli, 7 French, 3 Dutch, 22 lonian; 4 Neapolitan, 72 Russian, 76 Sardinian, 2 Spanish, two Swedish, and 2 Tuscian. :It has retaken by force from the pirates 17—viz. 13 Austrian, 2 Russian, 1 Swedish, and 1 Sardinian. Seventy-six merchantmen, of all nations (as far as was known at Smyrna at the end of Eeto'oer)had been wholly, or in part,. plundered by pirates—viz. 27 Austrian, 17 English, 3 lonian, 3 Swedish, 6 French, 6 Russian, 1 Neapolitan, S Sardinian, 1 Dutch, 2 North' American. The cargoes of these 74 vessels were worth 960,000 Spanish dollars, and the actual loss amounts to 1,170,000 Spanish dollars.— Only 16 of the above-mentioned vessels were taken by mistimes, proanes, and other small piratical vessels i the 58 others were captured by- pirates carrying from 12 to 18 guns, with crews of 60 to 100. men.

On the news of the destruction of his fleet, he turned back without executing his purpose.

For want of arrivals from the Levant Rumours were afloat in every direction last night of the receipt of further intelligence from Constantinople. There was no foundation for them, to and, up to th e .h o ur at which our Paper went press, his MAJESTY'S, Goyernment werewithout further despatches'. We think that a good deal of misunderstand ing prevails with respect' to the first measures which would be resorted to by the Allies, in the event of the Ambassadors' Withdrawal from Con stantinople. It by no means follows as a matter of c onsequence that the refusal of the PORTE to submit to the terms dictated by the Allies ; Will be the signal for an attack on any part of the Turkish Dominions.' So far from it, the Treaty of London expressly declared that such ulterior measures as might. appear to be necessary in the event of the refusal of the PORTE to accede to the terms proposed, should be hereafter agreed upon ; and consequently con siderable time must, in all probability, elapse before the discussions, which the consideration of this branch of the subject will give rise to, can be brought to an end. Immediate anna ment, therefore, against Turkey seems to be out of the question, and such an alternative will only be adopted as reprisal against steps she may take, or whenever other means to accomplish the object of the Treaty of London have been tried without effect. The object of that Treaty was the pacification and modified Independence of Greece. To attain it, the Allies will now resort to stronger mea sures- than had perhaps been exactly con. • temPlated ; but b e y ond measures necess!,ll fig the attainment of ' that object, .kF" the Allies • will not interfere ,with the Tor pursuit of ambitious views, go nor allow the integrity of the Turkish emp ire to be affected. .If . Russia should, in the intentions of the other Allies, o f which th°sB who are best acquainted with her policy entert3i° serious apprehensions, she will do so in vi° l3 ‘ tion of the express principles of the Treaq! and in direct opposition to the distinct desire ot the other Powers ; and hence a rises a stroager excited by the cause for uneasiness than need be t our pr expectation of any operations, on 'th against Turkey. If nil the Allies a ct No good faith to each other, the object o f the : i ut b CY Ond t be Treatyof London will any measures being resorted to n - l' ich " anY be likely to involve this c ountry ill itis .. very expensive. operations.
