The Paris Papers of Wednesday contain news from Greece of a highly gratifying nature. They not only announce another defeat of the Turco- Egyptian fleet under Ina Aunt PACHA, but what isof-still greater importance,they communicate the intelligence, that owing to the energy and judicious measures of the Greek Government the civil dis sensions which unhappily existed have been put an end to, and the principal offenders have suf fered the punishment due to their crimes. The accounts in these papers from Spain give us reason to hope that the King at length sees the wisdom of adopting a different line of conduct than that he has pursued since his restoration to absolute power. Ferdinand, it would seem, has lately modified his proscriptive decrees, and Passed others which have already ameliorated the internal administration of his kingdom, and revived the confidence of the nation, of which a strong proof is afforded in the increased value of Public Securities at Madrid. The'following extracts relate to the affairs of Spain, and in another column we have given those articles which recount the Naval successes of the Greeks, and the restoration of internal tran quillity in the Morea ( From the Etoile dated Thursday.) PARIS, JAN. 26. W e have the following account from a correspondent, dated Madrid, Jan. 17 : " For some time past a real amelioration is observed in the course of things in Spain. In a country where every thing has been so shaken by several revolutions, which have so rapidly succeeded each other, too much praise cannot be given to the discernment of the Sovereign, and to the strength of mind by which, disengaging himself from the fetters which parties had imposed on the exercise of his authority, he knows how to force the chiefs of these parties to take another course, to profess Moderate sentiments, and to contribute to the grand object of the general welfare. After having stopped the movement of the re-action, and modified the decrees which inspired the greatest uneasiness, the King has turned his thoughts towards modifying the internal administaation of his kingdom, and re establishing the finances. The re-organization of . the Council of Ministers is an efficacious guarantee of order, regularity, and better administration. -4 An exeellent effect has been produced by restoring to favour .Several Grandees of Sp a i n , one of whom, Count Punson Rostro , had, duri ng t h e popular commotions, several times passed the night, lying down across the door of the King's apartment. " The executions have ceased. The most dangerous laws, Passed during the preceding period,have been revoked or modified, or remain without effect, and are no longer carried into execution. The most perfect tranquillity prevails in the provinces and Madrid; a calm and moderate language has succeeded in the public acts to the tone of some violent proclamations; Spain receives from different quarters at the same time proposals for a loan, and the public fiends, the image and the index of the confidence of the elation, have risen in a few days, some from 3 23 to 29, o th ers from to 14 and 15. If this state of things and this system are supported, as there is every reason to hope, the glorious work of the restoration of the Spanish monarchy 'will be terminated." ?MADRID, JAN. 13. General Cruz, F.x-Minister of War, has been restored to liberty on his parole, that he might make researches, collect proofs, and by these means be enabled to confound his ene mies, who have not only deprived him of a part of his fortune, but left him to languish for a long period in a dungeon, in the most cruel agonies, between life and death. It is to be wished that General Cruz would rest satisfied with ha-ring escaped the dan gers which threatened him, and with being at perfect liberty; but he seems to be inclined to see his case carried, as soon as possible, before a competent Council of War, where, it is said, he will make some important disclosures.

Dnuny-LANE.—The same scene of riot and confusion took place last night as on Monday evening. The bills of the Theatre, and advertise ments in the public prints, announced the per formance of Othello by Mr. KEAN. There was by no means so great a crowd, or so vehement a struggle for admission, as on the former night, but, as soon as the doors were opened, the people poured in, chiefly to the Pit, and as soon as they were settled in their places the uproar began.— . . On the rising of the curtain the tumult increased, and broke forth with redoubled fury as soon as Mr. KEAN appeared. Though the outrage some what abated on his leaving the stage, it was al ways renewed with equal vigour on his return. Occasionally a very few words were heard from the other characters, but hardly any while he remained in sight. During the representation, which with scarcely any exceptions was in dumb-sheto, many brief placards were thrown into the Pit from se veral parts of the Theatre. On some were— " KEIN for ever,"—" explain,"— " Cheers for The Chronicle,"—" Groans for The Times,"—written in very large letters, upon slips of paper. The Pit was full, and very few women appeared in it. None in the dress boxes. The cheerings for -KEAN in the Pit were generally accompanied by wavings of hats, but with very few handkerchiefs. That the majority in the Theatre were in favour of KERN was evident, but the opposite party were too .. . _ resolute to , be overpowered, and his friend's deemed them too strong for hostile encoon- ter. Previous to the rising of the curtain Mr. ELLISTON came forward, and by the most'• cour teous action," attempted to obtain a hearing, but in vain, and after using every attitude of entreaty, without any hopes of attention, he re tired, and the play commenced. It proceeded, as we have said, amidst uproar and " confusion worse confounded," till the final dropping of the curtain. Many persons, apparently conceiving that on the close of the Play no further tu mult would take place, had therefore left the Theatre. At this period Mr. ELLISTON again came forward, and with evident emotion addressed the audience in the following terms, interrupted in its progress, however, in the manner stated : " Ladies and Gentlemen—You honour me by your silence. I entreat you to attend to me for a few moments; and if any word 'fall from me which may appear improper, I trust you will attribute it to the agitation under which I labour:—(Ap plause.)—l stand before you as the servant of the public; I come forward as a peacemaker, and I hope what I shall say will not lower Mr: Kean or myself in your estimation. The engagement which Mr. Kean is now endeavouring to fulfil was made in July last. At that time it was not expected that the question which now agitates the public mind would have undergone any discussion. The engagement was for a period of twenty nights, at 501. a night, to commence on the 16th of January, and end on the 16th of March.—(Here there was .some disapprobation.) The present moment is one of . too much interest to me to suffer me to quibble or to go nigh a falsehood. I give you my word as a man—as the manager of this theatre—and, as I trust you have • always found me, as an honourable gentleman—(loud laughter)---Ithat I have stated nothing but the truth. I could hot break this engagement." (" And why not ?" cried some peston from a box in the dress circle.) " Why not ? Because Mr. Kean was advertised to appear before you. Could I, Ladies and Gentlemen, withdraw Mr. Kean's name under these circumstances? (Mingledapplause and disapprobation.) If I had done so, I should have made a party againstMr.Kean, and that I never will do. I wrote to Mr. Kean's solicitor and to his friends, and I learned from them that the cause would not be tried. I also wrote to Mr. Kean during his progress through the provincial towns, to know whether he would fulfil his engagement, and he answered that he would. I can assure you, Ladies and Gentlemen, that the best feelings have always subsisted between Mr. Kean and myself. I have assisted him, and he has assisted me. So anxious was I that he should enjoy the full tide of popularity which your patronage has procured him, that I have had a play written for the sole purpose of displaying his peculiar talents.—(Applause.)—One word more, and I have done. I can assure you, Ladies and Gentlemen, that I have not endeavoured, directly or indirectly, by any influence or power I may possess, to procure your judg ment in favour of Mr. Kean. I 'have literally suspended the free list—the public press excepted; and I defy any man to say that I have introduced persons into the house for the pur pose of influencing your decision.—(Applause.)—Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Kean is in the house, and if you will have the condescension to hear him, I hope every thing may yet be ami cably arranged." _ _ . Altogether, Mr.•ELLTsTON was heard with at- tention, and retired with applause. After a few moments had elapsed he returned leading Mr. KEAN by the hand, and shaking it with cordiality. Some bustle prevailed at first, but at length silence ensued, and Mr. KEAN delivered himself nearly as follows : " Ladies anti Gentlemen—Jr you expect from me a vindica tion of my own private conduct, I am certainly unable to satisfy you.—(Applause and disapprobation)— I stand before you as the representative of Shakspeare's.heroes.—( Much contention be tween the parties favouring and disapproving of Mr.Kean.)—The errors I have committed have been scanned before a public tribu nal; and—(here the uproar was so great that we could not collect the termination of the sentence)—On the occasion, Ladies and Gentlemen, to which I have alluded, I have withheld circum stances from delicacy. (Much laughter, applause, and hisses.) If, Ladies and Gentlemen, I have withheld circumstances from motives of delicacy (laughter), it was from regard to the feel ings of others—not of myself. (Clamours of applause, mingled with hisses.) It appears at this moment that I am a profess sional victim. (Laughter.) If this is the work of a hostile press, I shall endeavour with firmness to withstand it ; but if it proceeds from your verdict and decision, I will at once bow to it, and shall retire with deep regret, and with a grateful sense of all the favours which your patronage has hitherto con ferred on me." Mr. KEAN'S speech was received with mingled censure and applause, but the latter seemed to be predominant. Thus ended the second at tempt of M. KEAN to recover his professional station. Whether his speech will soften the feel ings of the Public it is difficult to say. For our own part we cannot but think that Mr. K. did not reflect on the impression which the recent trial, and the exposure of his letters, must have made on the public, otherwise he would have foreseen the probability that he would have to encounter so decided and so emphatic an expression of ge neral displeasure. It would have been wise in the first instance, if he had endeavoured to prevent the disgusting transactions in which he had been engaged from coming into a Court of Justice. In the next, whatever were his pecu niary engagements with Mr. ELLISTON, and however' antecedent to the expectation of a legal trial, - it would have been equally wise if he had entered into a compromise with Mr. ELLISTON to delay his appearance before the London pub lic, till the general sentiment of reprobation had cooled, and censure given way to clemency, and a due consideration for human frailty. Nor do wpprove of Mr. KEArr's attempt in his speech to discriminate bet Ween the censure of the Public Press and the voice of the Public at large. Some of the Public Prints have indeed manifested a se vere animadversion on his conduct, but others have been as determinately in his favour, and . it is not probable that the censures of the former would hage beets of so strung a nu• ture, if he had not ventured, to appear so soon after the recital of transactions of so revolting nature,and which,under such circumstances as were developed, if the public, had passed over with in difference, they would have brought discredit on the country as 'being inhabited by a people in sensible of virtue, and regardless of decency. PO E TR Y. The following EPITAPH, written by the late General FIT z rATnicx, on himself, was sent about three weeks before his decease to his pariicular friend, the present Earl of COVENTRY :- Whose turn comes next ? This monitory stone Replies, vain passenger, perhaps thine own : If idly curious, thou wilt seek to know Whose ashes mingle with the dust below, • Suffice to tell thee, that his destin'd span, On earth he dwelt, and like thyself, was man i Nor distant far th' inevitable day When thou, sad mortal, shalt like him be clay.. Through life he pass'd uneniulous of fame, Nor wish'd beyond it to preserve his name, Content, so friendship o'er his humble bier Dropt but the heartfelt tribute or a tear, Though, countless ages should unumber'd glide, Nor learn that ever he had lived or died.

We regret to announce that official intelligence has been received of the death of the Honourable the Archdeacon of CEYL(.N, by dysentery, fol lowed by a severe attack of fever, whilst on a clerical tour at Hambantotte. on the 15th of Au gust last. Dr. THISTLETON had for many years most ably and conscientiously fulfilled the duties of Sitting Magistrate at Colombo, and of senior Colonial Chaplain on that, station, and was in 1815, by his Majesty's gracious favour, appointed Archdeacon of the Island, as a mark of approba tion for his services. Ile was the second and only brother of the Right Hon. Baron SAA r. and SELF.. Died, at Strasburg, on the 6th instant, M. CA mILLr BARDIER, Secretary-General to the " Mairie" of that city, an office which he filled with great integrity for the last twenty-five years. This fact alone is a volume in praise of the deceased. LADY MosfYN.—A. serious accident befel Lady illosYYN on Tuesday evening, as her Ladyship was re turning from Spring Bank, about eight o'clock ; one of the wheels of the carriage slipped into a water-shoot, and the shock precipitated the coachman from the box, who immediately ran to the heads of the horses, but was knocked down, and the wheels going over him he was severely injured. The horses proceeded at a smart trot, about 200 yards, when, unfortunately Lady Mostyn attempted to leap out of ie carriage, and it is supposed that her clothes entangled in the wheel, by which she was thrown down, and her head and face dreadfully bruised; she was taken up quite insensible, and conveyed to Spring Bank. Several tnedical gentlemen were immediately sent for, and an express dispatched to Sir E. Mostyn, at Leicester.— The horses proceeded to Barbourne turnpike, where the keeper as usual, threw open the gate, with which the,.carriage came in contact, and the splinter bar was broken. The . footman leaped from' the carriage at the first, and attempted to stop the horses, but was unsuccessful. Five o'clock.—We regret to add, that we have just received information that Lady Mostyn's case is considered quite hopeless. Sir Edward has not yet reached Spring Bank.—( Worcester Journal.) —Lady Mostyn is since dead.

Th e prosecution of the KING against the Pro prietors of The Dublin Star newspaper, for an alleged libel, took place on Tuesday last, in the Court of King's Bench, Dublin. The trial, as far as it proceeded, is given at length in that spirited Journal, but. had not ended on that day, , as the Court, at a pa r ticular stage of tne ev idence, broke up at five in the afternoon and it was to be resumed on the . followirig day-. GRAND DINNER AT THE lIIANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday the Lord Mayor gave a very elegant entertain ment to his Royal Highness the Duke of York, his Majesty's Ministers, and several Membersof both Houses of Parliament• The preparations, which have been going forward for several days were well adapted to the occasion. The grand entrance to the Mansion-house was covered over as has been the custom at the various populous entertainments given to the citizens, the Lord Mayor having determined that his guests upon this occasion should have no cause to be offended, upon a compa rison of what had taken place in any former Mayoralty, with his endeavours to sustain the civic hospitality. An additional number of gas pipes had been introduced in the Grand Saloon, and just within the large glass doors, as the company entered, G. IV. It. burst upon them with the greatest brilliancy. Large evergreens were disposed in different parts of the Saloon, which was chalked with the King's Arms the City Arms, and the Lord Mayor's Arms. At the lower end of the Saloon, and just before the great door of the Egyp." tian Hall, which may be said to be almost in ruins, and was most judiciously kept closed up from all human inspection, appeared a most splendid gas exhibition, surrounding the letter " F." lighted up in honour of the Duke of York, but not thrown into full blase until his Royal Highness approached it himself, in passing to the Drawing Room. Upon the en trance of his !loyal Highness, the military and quadrille bands, under the direction of Mr. - Nicholson, of Co vent-garden Theatre, played " God save the King ;" and the various ornamental devices with which the building abounded, became more distinct and beautiful. Amongst the dinner company, which certainly was one of the most select ever entertained at the Mansion-House, were the fol lowing distinguished personages :—The Lord Chancellor, Earl of Westmorland, Earl of Shaftesbury, thd Bishop of London, Lord Stowell, Earl of Harrowby (President of the Council), the Duke of Wellington, Bishop of Landaff, Lord Gifford, the Speaker of the House of Commons, Mr. Peel, Mr. Wynn, Mr. Wilson, M.P., Mr. Huskisson, the Chief Baron, and Mr. W. Garrett. Several members o f the Court of Aldermen were also present. —Amongst those who accepted invitations, but were unexpectedly obliged to send apologies, were Lord Bathurst, Mr. Canning, Lord Melville, Lord Bex ley, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Loyd Chief-Justice Best. At half-past 7 o'clock the company were summoned to the long Parlour, where dinner was laid out with taste and magni ficence. The tables were graced by the presence of the Lady Mayoress, and a few other ladies. As soon as the cloth was removed, " the health of the King" was drank with the usual honours, and-the band struck up the national anthem. The Loan Maxon. then rose, and in a very animated man ner expressed his high sense of the honour which he had that day received in the presence of his Royal Guest, who testified his respect for and attachment to the citizens of London, by conferring so distinguished a mark of his notice upon their Chief Magistrate. His Lordship then proposed "the health of his Royal Highness the Duke of York." This toast was drunk with the utmost enthusiasm. His ROYAL HiciixEss, in returning thanks, warmly com plimented the Lord Mayor, and expressed his deep sense of the manner in which lie was received by the Chief Magistrate of the City of . London, -who was, by respectability, zeal, and talent, eminently qualified to fill the high situation in which he was placed—(Applause.) The next toast was " The Duke of Clarence and the rest of the Royal Family." This toast was succeeded by " The Army and Navy." The Loma MAYOR then rose and said, it gave him peculiar pleasure to propose " the health of the great Law Officer" by whose presence he felt so highly honoured. That distinguished individual entered into the office nearly 20 years ago - at a pe riod when the country was involved in that dreadful war on which its prosperity, it not its existence, depended. He formed one of the Administration to whose hands devolved the task of conducting the eventful conflict. His Lordship then expressed his opinion that the Lord Chancellor and his Colleagues merit ed the thanks of the country, and - ef posterity, for the manner in which they had executed their great duties, and elevated Great Britain to its present high prosperity and reputation.— The Lord Mayor, after an allusion to the manner in which the Lord Chancellor had - performed his extensive and laborious ju dicial functions, proposed bis health, which was - drank in a very warm manner. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in returning thanks, said he could pretend to no merit beyond that of having performed, at all times, his duty, to the best of his ability, as an honest man, and lie hoped he had succeeded in that course which he had in variably followed, and which he was determined to persevere in without deviation, or compromise. He also expressed the great pride he felt in observing the prosperity of the country, and his conviction thatit was only prosperous because it was free. The Loan Mayon, then proposed " the health of Lord Harrowby, and the rest of his Alajesty's Ministers"—in doing which, he eulogised their great talents, and spoke of the able manner in which they had conducted the contest to so glorious a termination. . The Earl of HAR nownY returned thanks. " The health of the Duke of Wellington" was next proposed by the LORD MAYon, who took a review of the great glories achieved by his Grace throughout the Peninsular war, and of the advantages derived by his country, particularly by the last grand struggle made at Waterloo for the liberties of mankind. This toast was drank most enthusiastically. The Duke of WE MAN aToN, in a very few words, expressed his sense of the high honour conferred upon him. The Duke of YORK gave " the health of the Lord Mayor;" and the Lord Chancellor proposed that of " the Lady Mayoress." "The health of Lord Shaftesbury, the Bishops of London and Landaff, Lord Stowell, Lord Gifford," &c. &c. followed. At a little before eleven o'clock the dinner party broke up., and the evening company, to the number of about 350, ar rived. Soon after eleven quadrilles commenced, and continued till past one in the morning, when the company sat down to a grand supper, and the festivity was maintained till a late hour.

PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE F ROM SHIPWRE CR.—Letters from Crookhaven, dated the 19th inst. give an account of one of the most providential escapes from shipwreck on Satur day last, that we have ever read, and which Daniel Coghlan, Esq. the Agent for Lloyd's in that district was mainly instru mental in effecting. On the night stated, the brig Charlotte, of Elsineur, from Medelina. R. IL Ronne, master, laden with rock-moss and matts, and bound for Greenock, ran into Barley Cove (where the Leander was wrecked) in a fog. When inside the crew found themselves in a dreadful place, with terrific breakers all round them. They let go an anchor and cable in 100 fathom water, but it would not hold her. The situation of the vessel was discovered from shore, and information was sent to Mr. Coghlan, who immediately on getting it proceeded over land, accompanied by 49 men, who carried his whale boat to the bar of Barley Cove, where shel was launched. Mr. Coghlan himself was the first to step in, and, followed by eight brave fellows, put off for the vessel, which lay about a mile from any point of land surrounding the bay. Before they could succeed in reaching her the boat filled three times, but they still perse vered, and at length got on board, when a stream- anchor was run out from her, and every assistance having been given in striking yards and topmasts, she rode something easier ; but it was not till the next morning, and that Mr. Goghlan procured the aid of other boats, that she could be got out of the bay, the bar of which presented a most perilous obstacle. The work was however at length happily - effected, and the sloop, crew, and cargo fortunately preserved, by the activity, influence, and: personal exertions of Mr. Coghlan, aided by his men.—( Cork Advertiser) SPORTING.

The flames were so impetuous, that in a few mi nutes the building was one entire blaze. The devouring ele ment soon communicated to an adjoining building kept by Mrs. Groves, also a lodging-house, and both were entirely demo lished. A vast number of engines speedily arrived on the spot ; and although a plentiful supply of water was procured, all exertions to save the premises were fruitless. Not a vestige of the valuable property was secured from whence the fire - commenced, and nothing remains but the bare walls. UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT AND FORTUNATE ESCAPE. —The Journals of Switzerland contain the following recital : On December 20, four men, belonging to the parish of I,enk, formed the rash project of penetrating into the Vallais by the Ravylberg, to purchase brandy. They fortunately arrived there and made their purchases, but the snow which fell in the night rendered their return nearly impossible. Braving the danger, however, they set out, and reached the top of the mountain and the dangerous passage, called the Terrible Corner. Here they ventured on a small bridge which unites two points of rock, and one of them, a young man, aged 23, lost his self-corn ' mend, slipped off, and fell down the terrible precipice be neath. The small cask of brandy which he had on his bead y he th d ey ark ag n a e i s r s t accelerated his fall, and his companions saw him tumble from rock to rock without being able to give him the least assistance. They hastened, however, to the neighbouring vil. lage (Poshenreid), and got assistance, and, g uided by torches, ;ther searchm o mountains a n in n s a v ; a b i l u . but the c) n returnedrendered upttheir returned; twenty men accompanied them, and they descended to the bottom of the precipice, when fell and covered four of them.
