The Journal des N(N 6, (of th,,J, cOritents itself with only 6,000 ; the Co" - -se ° 1.,1 - , ' ' ar ite date), chooses the mean number of —4friali Observer.) of the raising of the siege by land ; the retreat of the Seraskier to Vraehori, &c. We have just received the following letter : ConFu, AUG. 23.—Great as the joy was which the pre tended raising of the siege of illissolonghi excited in the Greeks and their friends here, it was easily to be foreseen that it would not be of long duration. A Greek who arrived here yesterday, and has come from those parts, says, " that the Seraskier had asembled his troops, that they amount to 25,000 men, that he is most actively preparing to press Missolonglii harder than ever, and will probably soon make another attempt to storm the place, or had perba.na already done so. " The Captain Paella's fleet, consisting. of twelve frigates, thirteen corvettes, and. fifteen brigs and schooners, steered on the sth from the vicinity of Illissolonghi towards the south, to escort, it is said, the fifth Egyptian Expedition from Candia to the Peleponessus, fourteen other ships, viz.—one corvette, four brigs, four schooners, and five transports remain in the Gulf of Patras. On the 6th, the Greek fleet, under Sachtury, consist ing of thirty-seven sail, of which fifteen are fire-ships, and on the 10th, eight sail more, under illiauli, sailed for Missolonghi, also steering towards the south." The Post from Constantinople, which left on the 25th of August, only two days after the last expresses, has brought no thing new from the theatre of war. The Americas squadron cast anchor, on the 218 t of August, in the Roads of Smyrna, having previously obtained permission from the Governor. Brussels Papers to the 28tl► Sept. arrived this morning, but contain ►►othing of any importance. They have, however, some news from Greece, which we have subjoined, stating that an expe dition of 3000 Greeks was forming at Hydra to go to the assistance of Crete, which, it seems ; had risen against the prrrisons left there by fnitampf, and some speculations on the subject of the offer made by the Provisional Government to England. We subjoin the s atement without further remark : VaANicroaT, SEPT. 211—News from Zante of the 4th Sep tember confirm the statement, that the Greeks are preparing at Hydra an expedition of 3000 men, to make a landing in Crete, where the Greek population has risen in many districts, and the garrisons left by Ibrahi►p are much weakened. There was a report at Napoli di Romania that the 3000 Egyptians entrenched at Arachova being cut off from all com munication, have been annihilated by Colocotconi. This news, which is very probable, his not been officially commu nicated. VIENNA, SEPT. 17.-It seems to be the firm persuasion' here, that the step taken by the Greeks in applyin ,, to the Ca binet of St. James's, will have no other result than that of drawing still closer the ties which have for some time subsisted between the Greeks and the English : that it is no part of the policy of the latter to interfere with the independence of Greece, though a report has already been apread that it was intended to give to that country a government in the model of that of the lonian Islands. All these circumstances, howeVer, strongly excite the attention of our Government; and Dispatches are said to have been sent to London from the Foreign Office, which are chiefly relative to the insults which the Greek ma rine constantly puts on vessels under the Austrian flag; which navigate the Archipelago. No secret is now made of the changes that have taken . place in the affairs of Greece since the resistanc e of Mi sso l ong h i and the flight of the Captain Paella. The defeat of ItedsChid Dacha and that of the Egyptian corps before Napoli di Ro mania, have destroyed the hopes of the Porte, which will be obliged to commence a new campaign in the spring. This day we have the satisfaction of publishing the details of the Capture of the Fort and Ca pital of Arracan. The news of the fall of this fortress had reached England some weeks back, and the official intelligence is now given, to gether with some further advices from Bombay received last night, and which bring down the news from the Ist of May, when the Calcutta Journals left it the I4th of the same month. We have much pleasure in record ing the conduct of the native troops upon this occasion, who seethed to have Vied with their British comrades in displaying that spirit of resistance and determined bravery that has so often led the latter to victory and success. The assault upon the enemy's position, after their retreat upon the t.).Stlt, deserves to be particularly mentioned, not only for the skill with which the attack was planned, but for the cool courage which animated the troops on at tempting a pass so strongly fortified by nature and art, and which, it is observed, would in the hands of a few regulars defend Arracan against any army. We will not anticipate the pleasure of our Rpaders by detailing any more of these interesting dispatches, but simply refer to them in preceding columns. The Bombay Papers state the disposition of the army, and say that Brigadier-General MCBEAN has pro . - ceeded with 2,000 men to capture Ramree. Part of the force under General MonitisoN is to pro. ceed towards the Irrawaddy, and the remainder will be cantooned in the neighbourhood of Ar recall. No further accounts have been receive 4 from Denobew, but a report prevails that its fall had been beard of by General MoniusoN. New York Papers have been received to the 3d instant by the Josephine, arrived at LiverpOol. The Leader from Carthagena had brought papers of that place to the Ist of August, Bogota Gazettes to the 14th of July, and verbal accounts from Lima to the 17th of June. Accord_ ing to these, Callao continued in possession of the Royalists, but it was expected to surrender About the middle of August, on account of the want of provisions. Admiral GUISE, who was some time ago arrested for exceeding his powers, was in prison at Lima. BOLIVAR was still in Upper Peru. General PAEZ had written a lette.r to the Executive at Bogota, demand ing satisfaction, in consequence of what he considered an attack on his character by a member of this Colombian Congress, who had moved that the General should be accused before the Se nate for declaring Venezuela under martial law. Although the motion for accusation was not acceded to, there appeared no dis position on the part of Congress to give up the rights of its members to full indemnity, secured to them by the Constitu tion of their expressions in the Chamb ers . \ire perceive, from the Washington papers, that Commodore PORTER is allowed leave of absence, according to his own re quest, during the six months of his suspension, and his full pay and rations during the same period. By accounts from 3lobilc of the 9th of August, the yellow fever raged there with such violence, that the citizens were fly ing from the place with all possible dispatch. A Cabinet Council was held at two o'clock yesterday afternoon at the Secretary of State's Office for Foreign Affairs, which was atte►►ded by the Duke of Wellington, the Earls of liar towby, Liverpool, Westmorland, and Bathurst ; Mr. Secretary Peel, Mr. Secretary Canning, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Viscount Melville, Lord Bexley, Sr,c. The Cabinet broke up about six. o'clock. TILE ICING. WINDSOR, Starr. 28.--I`esterday, the }mulches of the Royal, FA M ILI( expected at the Royal Lodge . did not arrive. At halt-past two o'clock his Majesty, with his.usnal suite of attendants and retinue, left the Royal Lodge for Virginia Vi r ater. where his Majesty embarked on board the Royal cutter; and, after enjoying some pleasant excursions, entered his fish ing-boat,.which accompanies the cutter, and in which his 141a jesty amuses himself with angling, and, as usual, • was yester day very successful, having caught some very fine perch, with other fish. At six o'clock his Majesty returned to the Royal Lodge, and was met by the Duke of Dorset, Lord St. Helen's, and the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Stanhope, who arrived On a visit, and had the honour of dining with his Majesty. This day his Majesty's attendants and retinue 'are ordered to hold themselves in readiness at the usual hour. DEPA RTURES FROM TOWN, &c.

COVENT-GARDEN.—This Theatre opened again last night, before a thitnerous audience, with The School for Scandal, which was altogether so well supported Olaf nothing but the frequency of its repetition, during the - long' period which has elapsed since its original appearance, can render it less operative in its general effect. CIIAR LES KEMBLE in Charles, COOPER' 41 Joseph, JIPNES Sir Benjamin, FAwcErr in Sir Oliver, FAIIIIEN: in Sir Peter, Miss.Cnr.srEn in Lady s Teazle, and Mrs. GI BUS in Mrs: Candour, gave full effect to their respective characters. KEELEY was Moses, and Miss SCOTT Maria, the only changes in the .performance. A ludicrous derangement in the dress of FA R REN excited a hearty laugh, but it soon gave way to the merit of his acting.. ENGLISH OPERA MOUSE.—After Broken Pro mises, one of the most interesting and successful draMas of the season, The Blind Boy followed last night, .and Miss KELLY, as usual, acted powerfully on the feelings in the hero of piece. As Mr. BAttrr..Ev was obliged to attend his duty at Covent-Carden Theatre, Mr. LEE, late Stage Manager and Actor at the Adelphi Theatre, took the part..of Oberto at a short notice, and Sup. ported it with more impressive force and feeling than could- be•teasonably expected on. a sudden call., .Mr. PERKINS, a very promising young :ac tor, was The King. The performances were for the benefit of Mr. STEVENSON, and we were glad to see that the respectable veteran had a' good hOuse: PERU.—The following information %vas yester day posted at LlOyd's, brought -by the Mora? , FF. 'IRANI', arrived off Weymouth, in .52 days, front Bus nos Ayres : •‘ By the Minstrel, arrived at Buenos Ayres on the 2d of August, intelligence has been received from Lima to the 21st of June, At that time the castles of Callao still held out against the blockading force, nor was there any prospect of a speedy surrender. Rodil had-issued proclamations in terms of strong insolence and defiance, and declared his intention to hold out to the last extremity. The Government of Lima had prohibited - the introduction into Peru of Spanish produce and manufactures of every description after the 17th of August. Their decree not only orders the confiscation of such Spanish ,property as. may arrive in the ports of Peru after the time before.mentioned, but declares as good prizes all vessels found with such property on board." " BaussEr,s, SEPT. 27. I he King of PausstA has ordered that the Prussian Loan, contracted in Holland, shall be itmnediately p a id o fr . CORFU, AUG. 31,---His Excellency the Lord High Commissioner of His Majesty the Protector of these States, has received a dispatch dated the 20th June last, from the Right Hon. Earl Bath urst, One of His Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, announcing by the Kings' command, that his Majesty has been pleased to appoint His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Grand Master of the Illustrious Order of St. Michael and St. George. An Order in Council, we understand, has been sent to the Custom-house, to stop the clearance of any vessel for the Mediterranean having arms and a mmunition. on b oar d. Th e or d er i s sup _ posed to be directed more particularly against the shipments of that nature which are making for the Greeks, though it will, of course, have the effect also of preventing any supplies for th e Turks or the Egyptians. By a singular coinci dence indeed, it happened that clearances were demanded for an Egyptian vessel, with warlike stores on board, immediately after the prohibi tory order was receive) at the Custom-house. ANECDOTES, CLIAICLES • ToWIsiSEND.-- , -ThiS able. and witty Statesman, whose character was. highly eulogize() in' 01W of Edmund Burke's Parliamentary speeches, was very subject to flattery. One day, after bringing out a Budget, which he deemed admirable, being in company with a select set of friends, he asked how they liked it ? Seine said very well, others very good, and others that they hoped it .4vould be productive. This not being' praise enough, he turned. to Touchet the banker, who had just dropped in, and asked the same question. " Like it," .said Touchet— " f am transported with it ; by G--, there never was such a scheme of finance before in the world, and, if any thing could exceed it, it was your eloquent manner of glving it." . " My dear Toucher," said Townsend, gettin. , ; ui. and embracing him, 44 you are the man that gives inc comfort—as for these fellows, they have been doing nothing else this half hour but throwing brickbats at we." Such is the influence of fiat-. tery even upon reat minds: Logo MANariELn.—,A. Catholic Priest was maliciously prosecuted in tl►e Cotsrt Of King's Bench for having said Mass. Lord :MANSFIELD asked the principal witness if lie•wils sure that the man was a Popish Priest, and that he Slid Mass. " Yes, my Lord," said the man. " Then you know what Mass is ?" said his - Lordship. The witness was confused and silent. Ilis Lord . - ship then addressed himself to the Jury as fol lows : " To find this•man guilty, you must have full proof that he said Mass, awl it must be proved to you that it was' the Mass which the mat► said, when time witnesses saw hiu► perform ing acts which they took to be Mass. You must judge for yourselves, whether your consciences are entirely .satisfied or► this point." The man was acquitted. OLD ENGLPiIf ITOSPITALITY.L-ID those days when the refinement of the Court . had not,quite expelled the rustic manners of our old English squires, and when in country society there was an odd sort of a mixture of town manners and country bluntness, a knot of young fellows in the army, lovers of fox-hunting and drinking, were invited to dine at the house of a wealthy squire, in the county of The dinner passed, a most formidable regiment of bottles provided by the care of the lady (the dowager squiress), had been severally discussed, when the unwelcome sounds for more wine reached the ears of the astonished matron, " Odd chalk 'em," cried she, " be 'em a dry yet ? then do ye, Jahn, car 'em up some zider." KING Wur,Ltm.—ln the reign of King WM.. LIAM, a Member of the House.of Commons hav ing applied for a grant of lands in favour of a builder, who was his friend, another builder pp, plied afterwards to the Earl of Portland for the same spot ; his Lordship found from the latter that the grant was worth 10,0001. This infor mation he conveyed to the King ; and when the Member renewed his application, the King asked him what the grant might be worth ? The Member answered about 1,0001. "Is that all ?" replied the King; " then you shall have 1,0001. without so much trouble." OLD FuLLEtt, the biographer, in speaking• of Sir llonenT 13notte,. who was:Lord Chief Justice of the . Common Pleas in the reign of Henry VIII. supposes the place of his nativity (whicli happened to be in Shropshire) to have been Suffolk, " fAir that his posterity flourished in a worshipful . equit- - page at Nacton, near Ipswich, in that county," and, as another reason, " that lawyers 'always purchase near the place of their birth." The same historian-, after quoting Camden's fithous character of Plowden, the great lawyer, ex claims, " How excellent amedley is made, when honesty and ability meet .in a man of his profes sion ;" then adds, in allusion to the Middle Temple-hall„ " nor must we forget how he was Treasurer for the Honourable Society, in the year 1572, when their magnificent . hall was builded." Ele also assigns to the eminent yer Lord Chief Justice Popham, who lived in the 'lath century, the following accomplish menis .11e. was in his youthful days as stout and skilful a man•- at' sword and buckler as any in that age, and wild enough .in his recreations." KING GEORGE the SECOND was very fond of old WinsToN the Theologian, and was walk ing with him one day in the gardens of Hamp ton-court, during the heat of the persecution, when the King said, " Mr. Whiston, - you may perhaps right in your opinions, but it would be better if you kept them to yourself." 44 Is your Majesty really serious in your advice?" an-. swered the old man. " I am," replied the King. " Then," said Whiston, " I ant sorry for it : had Martin Luther been of your way of thinking, where would, your Majesty have been at this time ?" ELECTION OF Loan MAyott.---This day a Common Hall was held at Guildhall fur the pui. pose of electing a new Lord,Mayor for the en suing year, when the Court of Ald ermen an flounced WILLIAM VENABLES, Esq. Stationer, duly elected the new Lord Mayor. SWEARING IN OF TilE SllERlFFS.—Yesterday the new SherifTh, Alderman Crowder and Julia Kelly, Esq. gave a grand breakfast at the Albion Tavern, at which were present about 100 members of the Companies to which they belong.

The half-pay to the Purser is but 3s. per diem, whilst the Lieutenant of the na v y (an officer of the same rank with the Purser) has ss. per diem : in the kindred service.of the army, the Assistant-Com missary, whose rank and duty on land are similar to those enjoys a half-pay of 4s. l per diem.

So strong indeed is the current, ,that we have ourselves been set against a strong westerly gale;96 80, and 76 miles in three days respectively. Without this:Orrent, ships would often be delayed much longer than they are by these gales. A steam-boat need not seek the current. By keeping in —shore, she whould not encounter so hard gapes, tor so heavy a sea, and would be enabled to make her , passage round the Cape with speed and security.—( Calcutta Jolo4 Bull.), A Gentleman of our acquaintance, recently returned from a visit to Constantinople, reports, that in perambulating that extraordin - ary city, his attention was suddenly attracted by a-crowd of persons, who were witnessing, at the corner- I *f a street, the emptying of one or two sacks, ;which • were filled with human ears, cat from the Greeks, who, in struggling for their lik(erty, were taken prisoners by the Turks.—(Morning , Chronicle.) • ° ~i•R.•
