and scientific men of whom I have just spoken. He was one of the ()divers on the expedition of Entrecastcux, sent in 1791, in search of La Perouse, whom we still seek. What touching emotions shall We feel, as Frenchmen and mem bers of the ,S oc i ety, on learning, at least, how that greatexpedition was i n t erru p t ed! Happy if we s, t aouid be allowed to learn it from the mouth of some of those who had survived that cruel Catastrophe ; to see them, after so long an exile, restored to their country and to their King, that worthy brother of Louis the Sixteenth, who traced with his august hand, the instructions-of La Perouis'e ; to that King, whose whole thoughts have for their objects the happiness of his people and the glory of France—who honours and pro tects the sciences—and who has acquired new claims on our profound gratitude, in consecrat ing, by a decree, dated this day, of which I am happy to bring you a copy, the existence of the Society of Geography, and by giving to its statutes the Royal sanction, to which you attach so much value. Pursue, Gentlemen, the career which you have opened before you with such noble disinterestedness. Your first steps have been marked by encouraging success—still more brilliant awaits you ; and your excellent institu tion, reposing henceforward on a solid and durable foundation, will become one of the most Useful establishments of which France can boast." M. Freycinet then communicated to the So ciety an interesting letter, from MM . . Quoy and Gaymard, the Naturalists of the expedition under Captain D'Urville, in the Astrolabe. After some other routine business, eulogiums were pronounced, by M. Larenaudiere, on the Mar quis de la Place, who was one of the founders of the Geographical Society—on M. Malte Brun, and on J. Jacotin. Tw en ty new mem b ers were elecSed, and among them several foreigners. The Society then broke up. BATTLE OF NAVARIN. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. (From the Plymouth Journal.) We understand that Captain Bathurst at first ex presed a,wish to be buried in England, but that he afterwards said it would be better to bury him at Malta. The Admiral conceiving the wish first ex pressed to be that nearest the veteran's heart, re solved upon complying with it. When Captain Bathurst was laid in bed, after his wounds had been dressed, he found his leg in an uneasy position : he therefore called to the surgeon, and requested him to move the limb, saying, in a tone of apology, " I am a little fidgetty just now— but I hope you'll excuse it." When Captain Moore was brought down wound ed, Captain Bathurst, recognising hie voice, ex cle.imed—" Ah ! Moore, is that: you ?"—" ;:es," said Captain Moore ; " I'm wounded."—" replied Captain Bathurst, "Fortune de guerre." The Assistant-Surgeon of the Hind cutter, tender to the Asia, was dressing a wound, when an alarm was given that the enemy were boarding. He im mediately threw down his instruments, ran upon deck, seized a pike, and helped rot manfully to re pulse the foe. This being done he went below, and quietly resumed his surgical operation. He has been removed to a large ship in consequence of his bra - eery. Captain Davies, of the Rose, whose bravery and expertness in extricating a French vessel from a Turkish fire-ship we noticed in our last, was in the chains of the fire-ship at the moment she blew up, and was actually blown from her into his own boat, without receiving any considerable injury. We regret to state that Hill the marine, whose coolness at the moment of losing both his arms we noticed in our last, died at the Naval Hospital, Stonehouse, at one o'clock on Tuesday morning, in consequence of his wounds. He was about twenty one years of age. The following characteristic anec dote of this brave fellow is worth relating :—After the fatigues of the action, one of the officers of the Genoa lay down to rest himself on a chest on which poor mwtilated Hill was sitting. Presently he was aroused by hearing some one near him singing; and recognizing the voice, he exclaimed with surprise, " What ! Hill ! is that you singing ?" " Yes, Sir," answered Hill, " I'm trying what I can do at bal lad-singing, now I've lost my arms." As the purser of the Brisk was assisting the sur geon in dressing an amputation i n th e C a p ta i n ' s *ca bin, a shot struck off his head, and shattered it to pieces. Some of the splinters wounded the surgeon in the head, and entered the wound he was in the act of dressing. A marine on board the Genoa had one of his arms shot off in the heat of the action. He coolly took up the severed arm and laid it on the shelf-piece user him, saying, " There's an example for you all." APPREHENSION of a GANG of ROBBERS. (From the Liverpool Courier of Wednesday.) It will be in the recollection of our readers, that four men had been arrested, and underwent several examinations before his Worship the Mayor and other Magistrates, on presumptive grounds of being concerned in the late robberies in this town. The police having since learned that two of the prisoners had resided in Circus -street, proceeded thither, where they found the wives of the prisoners with two trunks in their possession, which were found to contain a quantity of jewellery, since identified to be the property of Mr. Nightingale, of Manchester, whose house was robbed on the night of the 3d ult., of stock to the amount of 4001. On the persons of the women were found several skeleton keys, &c. and in the pockets of Adam Simpson and John Jones, two of the prisoners, were two penknives, value 18s. each, alleged to have formed part of Mr. Nightingale's property. Mr. Miller having also as certained that two trunks had been forwarded by the same party to London, from one of the coach offices in Dale-street, lost no time in communicating with the proper authorities in the metropolis, which we have great pleasure to state has had the desired effect. The trunks were intercepted and sent down to Liverpool. I n th em were f oun d a l arge quan tity of miscellaneous jewellery, with two dark lanterns and other articles f or n i g h t l y d epre d at i ons . O n Monday the prisoners were brought up for final ex amination, and committed to the House of Correc tion for trial at the next Kirkdale sessions. George Wood and John George were remanded till Wed nesday. We understand that the real name of Simpson is Charles Smith, and of Jones, James Gould; the latter is one of the three persons who escaped out of Tothill-fields prison in July last.

A correspondent, who was present at the late alarming fire at the York House, observes, with some degree of surprise, the different relations of the event which have appeared in cotemporary prints, and not without astonishment the alleged scarcity of water, which is most strange, as there were two pumps capable of yielding tons, in the stable-yard, within a few paces of the spot where the fire originated ; and had the engine belonging to the office in which the furniture was insured, and which was kept on the premises, been fit for service, the damage might have been confined to the room where it originated. But, although the property was not insured in Bath, the en gines and firemen of the various establishments here were on the spot with the utmost alacrity. Two men belonging to the Bath Sun received severe damage by cuts and contusions, in the performance of their arduous duty ; another, be longing to the London Sun, was taken to the Casualty Hospital in a dangerous state, and one of the West of England men had his arm broken ; yet, strange to say, their dangerous and protract ed exertions of thirty-six hours, instead of being duly appreciated by some, to whom such essen tial assistance had been rendered, were requited by the most unfounded charges of drunkenness and neglect of duty. Some mischief's occurred from well-meant but ill-directed zeal. One of the large engines of the Bath Sun Fire Office was rendered useless for a long time, by some strangers having forced and broken the brass elbow which guides the pipe, and the trampling of the populace burst some of the leather hose belonging to those in Broad-street ; accidents inseparable from such a time of anxiety and con fusion. Our correspondent also observes, that there are not in this city engines provided and maintained at the expence of the several parishes, as in London, where persons bringing them to a fire are entitled to a liberal and settled remune ration. But here, the protection of the place lies entirely with the fire offices ; on whom the public have no claim for assistance, though it is always most cheerfully rendered.—Both Herald. SALE OF MR.

The late attack by poachers upon the keepers of the Earl of Coventry, in the preserves at Clif ton, Worcestershire, appears to be of the most daring and determined character.

An Express arrived this morning from Paris, bringing the Gazette de France of yesterday morning. It contains very important intelligence, on the authority of accounts from Trieste, namely, that the French Admiral, DE RIGNY, had destroyed the Greek Fleet off Scio, for hav ing refused to obey the injunction of the 24th Oct., to desist from hostilities against the Turks ; and after having summoned Colonel FABVIER to suspend further operations. This intelligence had produced a considerable sensa tion at Vienna, where it was expected that the event would force the SULTAN to accept the intervention ; but it appears to us, if the intelligence should prove correct, that the de struction of the Greek fleet, by lessening ,the means of annoyance against the Turkish pos sessions, is more likely to have a contrary effect on the mind of the SULTAN, already pre disposed to follow his own game against Greece. The Vienna Article of the 18th also states that letters from Odessa of the 7th, men tion that accounts have been received from Constantinople that the Ambassadors had ac tually embarked on the Ist inst. The Augs burg Gazette, however, states on the authority of news from the same place, that the Ambassadors were only preparing to embark on the Ist. It is certainly possible that both accounts may be correct, as the latter accounts may have been written at an earlier hour of the same day, and it may actually prove that the Ambassadors took their departure on the afternoon of that day. We must therefore contrive to exercise our patience, and wait for another arrival from Constantinople before we entirely conclude that the die is cast. We subjoin extracts : VIENNA, DEC. 18'.—Letters from Trieste announce that Admiral de Rigny has burnt, before Scio, the Greek fleet, which had refused to obey the injunction of the 24th Oct. Letters from Odessa, of the 7th instant, state the news had been received from Constantinople, dated the Ist. The Ambassadors had embarked there the same day.* Bank Shares, which fell yesterday to 1030, have risen today to 104 T. PARIS, DEC. 27.—(From our correspondence relative to the affairs of the East.) ODESSA, DEC. 7.—We have news from Constantinople to the let December. The three Ambassadors were yet in the capital, but upon the point of setting off. Every thing was tranquil. TRIESTE, DEC. 16.—Admiral De Rigny burnt the Greek fleet at Scio, after having summoned Fabvier to sus pend hostilities. This news, which has caused the greatest sensation, is official. Our Governor has sent a courier to Vienna. VIENNA, DEC. 19.—News of the disaster of the Greek fleet, burnt by Admiral Rigny, has arrived here. It is ex pected that this affair will force (forcera) the Sult m to ac cept the intervention. The Exchange is rising. We have this moment learnt that tke Glasgow frigate arrived at Toulon the 22d. It had on board the Vice- Admiral Sir J. Gore, sent by Admiral Codrington, who was the bearer of important despatches for the three Allied Courts. FRENCH FUNDS, DEC. 27. —Five per Cents. 101 f. 55e. ; Three per Cents. 67f. 30c. ; Bank Stock, 1940 1930. A note accompanying the Express gives the Three per Cents. (at 50 minutes past three o'clock) at 671. 25c. ' The Gazette of Angsburgh gives news from Odessa of the same date, which states that the Ambassadors were only preparing to set off, and that Constantinople was tran quil.—Note of Gazette de France. No Morning Papers were published on Wed nesday in Paris, in consequence of the festivity of Christmas on the preceding clay, but the Gazette de France was published in the after noon as usual, and a copy of it reached us last night. It does not contain any news from Con stantinople, except such as had been previously received through the German Papers, but it con tains the following details of the preliminary con ditions of the peace between Russia and Persia. The terms are humiliating and disastrous to Persia, and such as she would never have sub mitted to had she not felt that the loss of her independence as a nation would be the conse quence of further resistance : PARIS, DEC. 26.--Official accounts from St. Peters burgh, dated the 6th of December, announce the following details : Immediately after the taking of Tauris, Feth Ali Khan, who had held the office of Governor-General of that city, had been commissioned by Abbas Mirza to carry proposals of peace to General Paskewitsch. The latter took advan tage of this mission, to make Feth Ali Khan the organ of his answer, and to acquaint the Persian Prince with the conditions upon which peace would be granted. A few days afterwards, be received by the same officer the assur ance of the entire adherence of Abbas Mirza, the news of the sending of a Persian Plenipotentiary in the person of his Caisnacan, or Principal Minister, and an urgent request to fix as soon as possible the time and place for an inter view, which the Prince himself asked of the General-in- Chief. In consequence, M. Obsenoff, Councillor of State, met the Persian Plenipotentiary on the 2d of November, in a village beyond Tauris, where they agreed the next day on the following preliminaries : " 1. That the Schah of Persia should entirely cede to us the whole of the Khanate of Erivan, both on this and the other side of the Araxes, as well as the Khanate of Nakhitchevan. • " 2. That the Russian part of Talyche, which had been occupied by the Persians, should be restored to us imme diately after the conclusion of the peace. " 32That a pecuniary indemnity should be paid to us for the expences of the war, and the injury done by the invasion of the enemy. " 4. That a part of this indemnity should be paid imme diately on the signature of the peace, and the remainder in short intervals. " 5. That, till the whole is paid, our troops should oc cupy, by way of security, the whole of the province of Adzerbidjan. " The Plenipotentiaries having at the same time fixed the term of six (lays, dating from the sth of November, to wait for the categorical assent of Abbas Mirza to these preliminaries, General Paskewitch received from him, on the 9th of November, an answer, by which he declares, that he entirely assents to them. In consequence, the interview was to take place, on the 16th of November, at Dekhar gane, a village between Tanris and Masagna, so that we have every reason to believe that peace is now actually signed." Faxxcn FuNns.—Pants, Dxc. 26.—Five per Cents., 101 f. 50c. ; Three per Cents. 67f. 30c. ; Bank Stock, 1,982 f. 50. Exchange, one month, 25f. 15c. ; three months, 25f. His Majesty's packet-brig Zephyr has arrived with a Buenos A 3 rean and Brazilian Mail ; she sailed from Buenos Ayres on the 16th October, from Monte Video on the 23d, and from Rio Janeiro on the 11th November. At Buenos Ayres there appears to be no extraordinary news, and matters remained in much the same state as our last advices left them. tl o p—exchange was 12d. per dollar ; the loan of six millions of dollars had been completed, and nothing was heard of relative to peace, though the Buenos Ayreana express themsel warmly relative to Lord PONSONBY, and mplain that but for him they would be in the enjoyment of a good understanding with the Brazilians. The private letters which we have been favoured with a sight of, from Rio Janeiro, are equally silent on the question of peace or war, observing, however, that they still had hopes of the former being concluded in a few weeks. They mention, as the cause for this expectation, that accounts had been received that General LAVELLEGA, ill the Banda Oriental, bad dissolved the Cortes or Congress, and had declared himself Dictator of that Country, independent of the Argentine Re public. This, it was conceived, would have the effect of bringing the latter to some peaceable inclination. _Business in Rio de Janeiro was not so brisk as it had been for the last two months, although considerable purchases had _been made for the Southern Pro vinces, which shelved a greater degree of confi dence. The Brazilian Government were busy in planning schemes to raise money, and one of the modes was to issue a species of Exchequer Bills ; for this purpose the same had bean brought into , the Lower House and passed into a law, and was expected also to meet the approbation of the Upper branch of the Government. The amount is stated at 12' millions of milreas, the interest to be paid every six months. The exchange had declined to 32i I per milrea, from 33i ; in con sequence, as it is reported, of Government being about to make remittances to England for pay ment of the dividends on the loan. Coffee was 3 mil.; for Sugar 3 mil. 500 reas was asked, and 3 mil. 300 reas offered. Buenos Ayrean Papers to the sth October have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. By this medium we learn that the vessels of war are in a considerable active state of warfare against their opponents on the River Plate, and it will be neces sary for the latter to imbibe some of the spirit and activity, as well as system, into thei r Brazilian marine. Privateering is carried on v ery successfully, and the injury done to Bra ziliair commerce is immense. On the 14th of September Admiral BROWN sailed from Martin Garcia in company with the National schooner of war Saranda ; Eighth ofFeb. brig ; Balcarse ; Ninth of Feb., Rossalis, and Maid°. nada, and on the 25th of Sept. the latter being a dull sailer, was sent back. On the 28th, when 12 miles below Colonia, the Brazilian squadron to the leeward, made a signal to rendevous off Monte Video, but becoming becalmed under the Mount, it appears an engagement took place between them and the Brazilian frigate Isabel, three schooners of war, two schooners, and a gun-boat. It appears the former sustained no damage, the shot of the frigate going over their petty opponents, and on the 28th they returned to their former anchorage.— It appears an unpleasant occurrence took place during this cruise, the Saranda had parted com pany on the 26th, the rest of the vessels, whilst proceeding down the North Channel on the same night, observed a frigate at anchor off Santa Maria (the British frigate Thetis, Capt. BING HAM, at single anchor watering), and thinking her a Brazilian, some shots were fired at her from the brig Eighth of February, the schooners Ninth of February, and the Maldonada. One of the round shot and some grape and cannister shot passed close to the frigate ; the Captain of the latter was in bed at the time, and came in stantly on deck, both jibs were run up, the ves sel got under weigh, the men at quarters, and strict orders given not to are. Lieutenant BOLTON was despatched to demand an explana tion, which was given, we understand, to the effect, that being night the frigate was taken for an enemy, and having a force of only a few small vessels, they could not take the usual pre caution on such occasions. An account of the affair! had been sent to Admiral OTWAY, and the Government will probably institute an inquiry. The frigate had her fore-royal back stay and stay-sail halyards shot away; no other damage. Few officers, it is observed, would have had such forbearance as the Cap tain of the Thetis ; he could have sunk several of his assailants ; but as no one was hurt, he generously preferred explanation. His conduct on this occasion has been noble, and it is from such traits we disco ver the truly brave man. Retaliation could not be blamed, yet under the actual circumstances of the case few would have applauded such a pro ceeding. In these papers, under date Oct. 13th, it is stated that the Brazilian brig of war, Twenty ninth of August, Capt. WILSON, was lost near Colonia a few days since. The Captain, (son of Sir ROBERT WILSON) with the greater part of the crew, drowned. A grand ball had been given at Monte Video, and other festivities, upon the occasion of the installation of Don TOMAS GARCIA ZUNIGO as President of the Cisplatine province (Banda Oriental.) The following are some extracts : 2UENOS AYRES, SXPT. 17. General Laralleja, Commander-in-Chief of the Repub lican Army, issued a Proclamation on the 14th September, strictly prohibiting all communication with the enemy in Monte Video and Colonia. Suer. 18.—The Government is authorised by the Junta to negociate in the province the amount of six millions of piastres of public funds, at 6 per cent., according to the law ot3d Nov. 1821. They cannot be negociated at less than 60 per cent. The produce shall be employed in national objets and affairs of the province, according to the estimate, which will be prepared as soon as possible. SEPT. 20.—The Minister of Finance being authorised to negociate six millions of the 6 per eent. is ready to receive proposals on the subject. SEPT. 24.—The day before yesterday the Rio Brazilian sloop appeared in this port with a flag of truce, and landed Lieutenant Fitzroy, of the Thetis English frigate, with despatches for Lord Ponsonby. The Rio sailed from Monte Video for this purpose on the 20th instant. At Rio and Monteo Video peace was the subject of all conversation ; and at Buenos-Ayres it is affirmed that the proposals contained in the despatches are founded in the total independence of the Banda Oriental. SEPT. 26.—The Chronicle of this date contains various official documents relative to the arrest of Drs. Don Juan Andres Ferrera, and Don Gabriel Ocampo, by order of General Lavallega, by whom they were sent to the Pro vincial Government at Canalonee. The Government, in reply to the General, alleges that this arrest is illegal, and that if the individuals in question are guilty, the Province has its magistrates and laws to judge and punish them; but that to take a citizen from his house by an incompetent authority for reasons unknown to him, is an irregular pro ceeding. The Government, therefore, requests the General to state his complaints against those persons, that they may be tried according to law. The General in reply, declares that the objections of the Provincial Government are futile, and demands that in an hour's time, Messrs. Ferrera and Ocampoe shall be delivered up to his aid-de-camp, Jose Blanco, according to his first orders,: the aid-de-camp having instructions to execute this order if the Governor should persist in opposing it. The Government single* t t o h at r r i e t sctantnhootseco personsns ent ; bat at as a al s l d i e t - f ig o amp has o rders to pro t estsrde z s and declares the General answerabl e f a o g r ai t n h a e t cthoanspergnueeencedesin.g, To the above are added two letters from the persons thus arrested, dated Buenos Ayres, Sept. 23, to the Secre tary of the Government of Buenos Ayres, complaining of the illegal proceedings to which they have been subjected. Sim 29.—The journals of the Banda Oriental report that the Governor of the Province having communicated to the Chamber of Representatives the documents relative to the arbitrary arrest of Messrs Ferrera and °camp°, the Chamber had passed 'he Decree approving the conduct of the Government, declaring the proceeding of the General in-Chief arbitrary and eontrary to the law, and at the same time authorises the executive Government, to make a formal complaint of the violation of the law, and to com municate this resolution to the General, &c. It also sanctioned a law, declaring that the Junta has resumed all the sovereignty which the Oriental Province had committed to the Congress, by means of its Deputies, and that the military authorities existing in the Province are responsible to the Junta for the infraction of the laws.— This resolution passed- unanimously. OCT. 4.—General Brown has had a battle in the very port of Monte Video. Last Saturday he cast anchor near the American frigate Boston, and hoisted the American flag in the Sarande. After which he hoisted the national flag. The Twenty-ninth of August then came out and fought with him for two hours. Meantime four more of our ships of war, and seven more ~of the enemy, besides four gun-boats, came out and commenced a battle, which continued three hours. Our squadron retired, and the enemy remained at anchor. Though we do not know the result, it is impossible not to admire the intrepidity of Brown, in attacking the enemy with a force so inferior, and in sight of a place like Monte Video. Our whole squadron had but 55 guns, whereas the enemy, besides two 62-gun frigates, had three 18-gun brigs, and other vessels. s.—ln the sitting of the Provincial Junta of Buenos Ayres of Oct. 2, a project of law, respecting the abuses of the liberty of the press, was presented, and re ferred to a Committee. The Diario of Rio Janeiro, from Oct. 23 to Nov. 10, contains no news relative to the war,with Buena Ayres, and is chiefly filled with debates in the Chambers on mat ters of local interest. Despatches were received at the Admiralty this morning from D ear-Admiral Sir R OBERT WALLER OT wAY, Commander-i n - Chief of his Majesty's ships on the South American station. Vice-Admiral Sir JOHN GoRE, who left this country on the 13th November, on an impor tant mission to Vice-Admiral Sir EDWARD CO:RINGTON, arrived at Toulon on the 22d inst., in hi s M a j esty ' s s hi p Gl asgow, on hi s return from Malta, where he found his gal lant brother Officers. Sir Joy's arrival at the Admiralty may be momentarily expected ; any allusion to the objects of his mission would be evidently improper at present. But it is unnecessary to notice the silly reports of his return having any reference to the destruction of the Greek fleet at Scio. The gallant Ad miral will have performed the duty entrusted to him sooner than could possibly have been ex pected. Some of the private letters from Rio de Ja• neiro, by the packet, mention that warm debates had taken place in the two Chambers on grant ing further supplies of money for the prosecution of the war against the United Provinces of the River Plate.

We were much amused with an article en present state of the Turkish question whic h contemporary, the Courier, put forth last eve ° in a style of official importance, for the pulp we presume, of keeping up the delusion th attil paper is still the organ of Governmen t. writer, however, csf the article in q uer. although hacknicd in the trick ° f deca l, out facts which a r e no t or i ous t o all the :a oc l in language int en d e d t o g i ve th em the° t of official n ove lty, carr i e d hi s at t e mpt ra ttle' far, and by one or two ex p ress ions exP° 36d artifice which he endeavoured to practice. Wa need not dispute with our contenlec the prominent facts of the case, as stated bY . I ; lot. That the Allied Ambassadors had Dmi.oo 9 passports, which have been REFUSED them. , all 2d. That the embargo bad been practically, 'Lit t ? formally replaced, inasmuch as no Finnan' Were in the usual way. bd i 3(1.

B ut, our contemporary—" We arc assuming a ri t possible case ;" for adds he, and then conic climax—" The Allied Ambassadors, if r , , found they were not allowed to depart in o de comporting with their high functions, wed mand to b e con d uc t e d t o th e S ev en 911 and leave it to their respective Sovere 4° ,o vindicate the insult of their detention !I # is capital.
