G ERMAN PAPERS. 'We received last night the Milan Gazette to -the 2Srh July, and the Nuremberg Corres pondent to the Ist August, from which we make the following extracts : NOTIFICATION. MILAN, JULY 26.—" By a Sovereign's resolution of the 26th of last month, his Majesty the Emperor and King has been pleased to sanction the plan, according to which, Communal Guards are to be established in Lombardy. " The Government, in obedience to the commands of the Viceroy, communicated on the 2d inst., publiihed the said plan, that it may be carried into execution. " Count de STRASSoLDO, President."

" A happy opportunity again presents itself to .the Vene tians to manifest the respectful and spontaneous sentiments of devotion by which they have always been animated towards his Majesty, by going with the most joyful,..dernonstrations to meet our most excellent 51 (march and Father, who is coming to see agaila hie most faithful.subjects.—Venice, J uly 22. " Count CALBO CROTTA PODESTA. " Colint G. CORNER, Amessor. " G. SENONI,, Secretary." [The Milan Gazelle continues to give ample details of the tour of their Majesties in Italy.] F2ONTIER9 OF ITALY, JULY 21.—We just learn by letters fro:n persons deserving of credit, that the Pacha of Scutari and °theft eighbouring Pachas have received orders from Condantinople to form new corps with all possible expedition, and send them to Arto and Prevesa, where they will be imme diately placed at the disposal of Redschid Pacha, who has lately rene4ed his urgent solicitations to the Porte for rein- iercemen ts. .The Pacha of Travnick, who has hitherto been excused in. a great degree, has also received orders to levy troops. The Pachas have shewn great readiness, hut there is a particular difficulty. They have been at great expence for fitting out troops, &c. They are now called upon to make further dis bursements, which are to be repaid by the Seraskier, because all the sums destined for the arming and equipment Of the troops are placed by the Porte at the disposal of the Seraskier. The Pachas have, therefore, caused representations to be made at Constantinople to obtain the repayment of the sums they have advanced, and .also money beforehand for their future disbursements. The decision of the Porte is expected. The accounts from Thessaly agree that the Turkish troops, which had advanced from that province into Livadia, have returned la a bad condition to the banks of the Sperchius. It is said that they have lost about a third of their number in this new campaign. Meantime they are taking new positions about Zeitouni and Patrodik. They are to advance again as soon as they are able to renew their operations, because the Greeks turned their whole , force agaitu,t - lledschid Pacha, as soon as the Thessalian army was obliged to retreat. It seems that they are destined to make a new diversion. In the neighbouring Turkish provinces, it is said, that the liospodars of Moldavia and Wallachia have gained their cause against the Bojars, who complained against -theta at Constantinople, for an abuse of their power. Several Bojars have lately been arrested, as alleged enemies of the Porte. • VIENYA, , jULY 29.—The Austrian Obse?vcr has a long article directed against two articles in the Constitutionnel. The two articles, says the Austrian Observer, are of such a nature that it would be loss of time to attempt a formal refutation of thee► ; they bear too plainly the stamp of-their origin. One.6f them relates to t!se late Count Bubna, Commander-in-Chief in Lombardy, whose death, says the Constitutionnei, is regretted in Lombardy, " because he had proposed to give the Italians " a Constituent Government,'''&c. all which is a mere fable. Ile other article is from a respectable correspondent, and dated Napoli di Romania, 15th May, and states that an Ans *tier, squadron had arrived here, on board which was an Officer charged with a mission to the Greek Government, the object of whirl► was to propose the establishment of a Monarchical Government in Greece, in the person of the. son of the Ex. Ring of Sweden. " /t seems hardly possible," says the :4ustrian Observer, "! that even the Editors themselves, great as is their ignorance of the real• state of affairs ire Greece, should credit so clumsily • lisrZted a fable." FAIENCE', PAPERS to Monday ) Aug. 8, (From the Moniteur.) The official part contains-1.

MADRID, JULY 28. The Spanish armed brig Provide"mitt, which arrived at Cadiz on the btlit July, has brought the Government official news from the Philippines, dated Alurch 1. The greatest tranquillity ptevaih in those Colonies, and the Captain. General announces, that the Mu.erte o Gloria corvette, and the Relit-au() brig, which belonged to the insurgents of Peru, have arrived at Ma nilla to place themselves at the disposal of the Spanish Govern ment. The captains and crews of these two vessels declared that they hal taken this step, because they were indignant at the proceedings of the independent party. (Front the Stolle, dated )Nonday,.Aug. 8.) Th,rAug.rburg Gazette has the following article:— TRIESTE, JULY 23, Capitan Paella seems to have at length arrived on the coaat of the Mona t the Captain of a iesselavhich has just an—j chored here states, that he sailed two days in the midst of the fleet, and did not quit it till he arrived rear Motion. However, the Capitan Pacha arrives much too late to second the operations against illissolonghi, sinceseveral uccqunts agree that the siege is raised, and that the Seraskier has been obliged to retreat, in consequence of the events at Salona, and the desertion of the Albanian troops. Recent accounts which have reached us announce that Ibra him Pacha is surrounded at Tripolizza by Colocotroni with 12,000 men : that he is entirely cut off frbm the coast, and that all his communications with Motion are intercepted. The arrival of the Capitan Pacha of Motion is, therefore, a very favourable event for Ibrahim Paella. PARTS, AUG. 7. • We have just learnt that Ibrahim Paella, who had advanced to Napoli di Romania, after passi;ig all the defiles without meeting any resistance, had retired after attacking the post of the Mills, because he depended on his fleet for supplies, and had received no news of it. (The Etuile subjoins extracts from the letters of Geu. Roche, which are inserted in the Journal des Debuts aid Constitu ,tionnel, and are very favourable to the Greeks.) THE GREEKS. Letter from General ROCHE to the Committee of the Philanthropic Society of Paris in favourof the Greeks. NAPOLI DI ROMANIA, JUNE 28, 1825. " GE - I , r rLE ME et—Since the defeat of Colocotroni by the bar barians, Ibrahim Paella, like 4tll able. and well-advised Gene ral, has profited by the panic of die Greeks to march direct ly upon Naioli. The head of his column appeared at the post of the Windmills on the morning of the 25th. I imme diately went to the post of the wind-mills, in order to have a conference with Prince Ipsilanti, who was in command there. It is a most important post to the Greeks, for their mills and a large portion of their provisions arc stationed there. At my return to the Government at Napoli I showed the necessity of having that post strengthened, for Prince Ipsilanti had under his orders only about two hundred irregular troops. The o vernment sent him a company of voltigeus belonging to the new regiment of the line organizing here, and also 300 Palicares or Greek tirailleurs. I observed the enemy's motions ; they came out of the defile of the windmills in platoons, then formed into divisions, and afterwards deployed into two lines in very good order. The Arabs then piled their arms, and halted for dinner. In the course of the day there were some few skirmishes between the outposts. Thef.orces of the enemy amounted to 5,600 infan try and from 690,ne 700 cavalry, with two small field-pieces.— The force of the Greeks, at the beginning-oldie action, , was only 250 men, as I have already had the honour to inform you. At half-past four o'clock the enemy formed into three columns, and marched upon the windmills. Tice strongest column, com posed of infantry, took post upon the plain to the left of the mountain upon the road to Argos. A second column came straight upon the mountain, in order to turn the mills, whilst a third came up by the road from Civeri. Prince Ipsilanti had disposed of his 250 men in the following mannere—l 00 occupied the ground to the right of the snills ; the same number was to the left, and stretched a little down the side.cf the mountain.; the re mainder were placed in the centre. Seve.ral mistics were near the shore, in order to sustain the Greek infantry. At five o'clock the general attack began ; the Greeks sustained it with extraordinary courage. In vain the Egyptian column from the Civeri road en ' deavoured to force the entrance to the mills; itsvas repulsed three times following, and at aluarter past six was put to the route. The Greeks immediately pursued it, but the fear of the enemy's cavalry made them return to their post. At half past six the enemy rallied, and directed his march to the back part of 'the mountain, where he halted to call in his tirailleurs. 'Whilst the the left wing of the Greeks was beating off the enemy i .the centre column had arrived --at the foot of the mountain, where some fighting ensued in the enclosed gardens, which I had in the morning advised Prince Ipsilanti to have entrenched and make a regular post. At a quarter to seven the 'firing ceased, but began again with greater vivacity at seven. During the fight the enemy continually reinforced their attacking columns, as were also the Greeks, tio whom the Government had sent out as many as 450 men, which raised the forces of Ipsilanti about I l seven o'clock to 700 men, and towards eight at night further additions had raised them to nine hundred. At that period the Turks began to retire in disorder on the road to Argos. The centre column endeavoured to take up a position in the moon.. Itain opposite the .wind mills.; but the company of voltigeurs pursued and routed them. The lass 'of the enemy in killed and wounded must amount to 400 men, that of the Greeks is very slight. The brave Colonel Macriani was dangerously wounded in the arm. •__The mistics effectually seconded Prince' Ipsilanti by a well sustained fire of-ease-shot. The conduct of the naval service was of great advantage to the little band of Greeks. M. de Craze, an ancient officer of the French _Marine, 'Commander of one of the mistics, has particularly distinguished, himself, as also a young officer from Brussels, M. Truinner. " Rear-Admiral Rigny, who was on this occasion at anchor off the point, taking in water, had the goodness to receive on board his vessel the Greek Colonel Macriani, and gave him that help which was due to his bravery. On the eve of the battle, M. de Rigny had had the humanity to have the women and children who were at the mills carried on board of his ves sel. On this occasion the Greeks have proved to the barbarians that when they are well commanded they can fight like men worthy to become free. The beautiful' and rich valleys of Mo don, Calamata, and Leondari, after having been pillaged and the inhabitants massacred, hive been delivered to the flames. Since 'lbrahim Paella has been in _the plain of Argos, he has burnt that large town, and redoced to ashes the thousands of olive-trees _which grew in that fertile plain. IHe has pitched his camp near the ruins of Argos. -.lf he remains long in that position ; the Greeks will have time to cut off his retreat both by the defiles of Tripolizza and of Corinth. lie cannot under take the siege of Napoli, having neither cannon, ammunition, or provisions. . He-reckoned on his fleet.; but that the Greeks keep strictly blockaded at Suda. " P.S. 1 have just learnt that -the Arabs are withdrawing; they have taken the road which leads to Tripolizza and Cala vrita, but it is not known what is -their destination. The Go vernmcnt has just given orders for some guerillas to follow them, in order to harass their retrograde march. Ibrahim Pacha's true object is to carry desolation wherever he can, 'for he fully sees the impossibility of at present conquering the Peloponnesus."

JOANNENSIS. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. IMPORTANT TO POSTMASTERS. UNrox-HAr.r..—Yesterday 31r. ..jellett, the "-farmer" of the post-horse duty at the Marsh-gate, attended before Mr. A r. LEN, at the instance of Mr. Bryant, the post-Master, in order to have the Magistrates opinion upon the following question : Whether a toll-collector ofthe post-horse duty was authorized in stopping a chaise and four from proceeding to Dartford, 'without the production of a long day's post duty-ticket-? Mr. Bryant said, , that in this case, which was one of consi derable importance-to the public, Lord Auckland sent to his stables, desiring that two fours—i. e. eight post-horses—should be immediately sent to his residence. Mr. Bryant asked the messenger whether they were wanted-for a long or a short rdis. tance, in order-to make out a ticket accordingly. A decisive answer was not returned, the person scying he believed his Lordship only intended proceeding a short distance out of town. Mr. Bryant, conceiving that his horses were not re quired for more than a drive of a few miles, made out two short day tickets, and gave them to the post-boys. When the car riages, areieed at the Marsh-gate, and his Lordship having told the -collector that he was proceeding‘ ;to Dartford, in Kent, the latter, upon the production of -the short day's ticket, refused to allow them to pass through the gate, say ing, that he must have either a long day's ticket, or is. 9d. extra duty on each of the horses.; this latter demand was complied with by his Lordship, to prevent further delay on his journey. Mr. Bryant now contended• that the toll collector had no right to make the demand.: he should have taken the ticket that was presented to him, and , given a certificate back to that effect, informing his employers of- the fact, wirn had continual access, if they pleased, to his books, where the duty was always entered, on ascertaining-the dis tances to which his horses were driven, which was not on all occasions known until after the return of the post-boys to town. And in the event of his only having given a short day's ticket, when, in fact, a longer . diStance had been performed, an entry to that effect -was made, and the full duty paid into the Treasury. The solicitor of the person who contracted with Government for the letting out of. the post-horse duty at the Marsh-gate, contended that by a recent Act of Parliament, the toll-collector was authorized in demanding a long day's ticket, when he was informed that in this case Lord Auckland was proceeding to Dartford. This was refused, however, anti then the ls. 9d. extra duty was claimed, which was a legal claim. Mr. Bryant said, that as this was a question which was never before brought under the consideration of a Magistrate, should it be decided in - favour of the farmer of the post-horse duty, it would be incredible the inconvenience and delay which the public would -be exposed to that travelled post. No fraud, he again asserted, ,nas ever contemplated, either on the Trea sury, or on the persons who farmed the duty, who were well aware of the penalty which a post-master" incurred in the event of any imposition of this description. The Solicitor said, that the farmers of post-horse.duty were continually subject to impositions. He did not mean to im pute any charge of this kind to Mr. Bryant—far from it : but he could instance many cases where post-masters had sent short-day tickets for proceeding to Hampton, Richmond, and Windsor. The chaises proceeding to those places required long-day tickets; therefore it was obvious the former were sent for the purpose of cheating the collectors of the duty. He again -contended, that the Ast of the present ling relative to the Pest-horse duty was applicable to the case. Mr. Bryant, on the other hand, contending, that the Legislature never in tended-that-the public travelling post .should be put to the in. convenience and trouble of being cross-questioned by a person employed by the far mer o f t h e duty, as to whither they were going, &c. Should any mistake occur by the post-master giving a wrong ticket, which .was an error that was easily detected, as lie before-stated, it was uniformly corrected, and the 'full I duty paid:. The Solicitor said, that notwithstanding the little difficulty of discovering errors of this nature, the ,Collectors of the duty were frequently " done:" -Mr. ALLEN postponed the decision of the question until Thursday. MARY r.EssDNE • Orr rcE..—Yesterday John Baker, a toll keeper at Tyburn turnpilo, was brought up on a warrant, in the custody,of an officer, charged by Miss Dunford, a young lady residing► in Connaught-terrace, with the most impudent assault. 1 1 1iss`Dunford, being sworn, stated that on 31onday, the Ist of August, she went cut to take-an airing in her gig, and on passing through the Tyburn-gate .at which the defendant takes toll, he dem an d e d i n t h e most ru de manner, the ticket from her groom, which being presented. to: him, he snatched it from his hand and toreit in pieces, intimating that it was incorrect; and she knowing it to be contrary; and the abuse and violence of the defendant having collected a crowd of persons on the spot, she endeavoured to whip .the horse on, on which he seized the whip in the most violent mariner, and nearly pulled her out of the gig. Ultimately he got-possession of the whip, which he would not return to her. _ . Daniel Webb , the groom, stated; that on passing through the gate he called out the letter " 1) " to the defendant, but he would not let Them proceed, saying it was the wrong letter. He was extremely abusive to Miss Dunford, who was dragged by him with great violence when he seized the whip. The prisoner , in his defence, said that Miss Dunford cut him with the whip over the eye, which caused him to seize hold of it. _ . Mi. Dunford declared positively that she did not do so. Mr. GRIFFITHS, the Magistrate, felt quite indignant at the behiftviour of the prisoner, and said it was one of the most im pudent assaults that he ever heard of in his life, and committed him in default of bail. PARLIAMENTARY OFFICES. Yesterday the proposed alterations, by pulling down houses, &c. in Cotton-garden, for the form ation Of new Offices and Committee-rooms for the House of Commons were about to be commenced tinder the directions of Mr. CitnEKEit and Mr. LEE, of the Board of works, when they were suddenly interrupted by Gentlemen connected with the House of Commons. Pursuant to the Report of the Commons' Committee, made at the close of the recent Session, the house of Mr. Ley in Cotton-garden, one of the Clerks at the table of the House, the Journals Offices and the Engrossing Offices, situated bet Ween the lobby of the House of Commons and Cotton-garden, were to be pulled down, to mak e way for the proposed alterations. In com mencement of these works, several Irish labourers, &c. appeared at Mr. hey's house to remove the roof, and to proceed with the pullings down : but Mr. Ley, who happened to be in town and at home, checked their career,' wishing to know, not only where his residence was to be, but where the clerks of the Journal and other offices were to be accommodated, especially as those official . personages are still engaged on the labours of the last Session. These works of pulling (101111 were of course stopped, and for the present are sus pended, till the plans are More completely and . satisfactorily matured. It has however been deter ' mined, in promotion of further accommodation for Comtnitteesof the House of Commons (of which ac commodation there was much want, nine and twelve Committees meeting in the same room last Session I) to convert dining and other rooms now allotted to Mr. Bellamy's coffee-house into Com mittee Rooms. Amongst these alteraions, .a uew • Library for Commons' Journal and Members is• mentioned, but no distinct plan for it is yet formed. The present Library Room is of very. limited space ; and yet till the Speakership of Mr. Abbott (now Lord Colchester), the House was-without any such advantage. At the House of Lords alterations on an extensive scale are also proceeding. Those buildings that were partly raised during the last Session of Parliament, and which were stopped about four months ago, have. been cleared out for more enlarged alterations.; and, in addition to various pullings down, work 111n have removed walls, &c. near the new .Royal staircase, also the cupola, &c. over such staircase. A complete clearance is made on its site of the Bishops' former entrance, and the resi dences of the housekeepers; on such spot Com-, mittee Rooms end Parliamentary Offices are to . be built forthwith.—(Morning Paper.) CORONERS' INQUESTS. EFFECTS OF JE.I LOUSY. An inquest was held on Monday night, and again by adjournment last night, before Mr. limos, Coroner for Westminster, at the Triumphant Chariot, Pembroke-mews, Grosvenor-place, Pimlico, on the body of Samuel 'White, a labouring man, whovesided in Haystack-lane, Paddington ' who .cut his throat in a fit of jealousy. Many ex aggera t e d and un founded reports were in circulation respecting the death of this individual. The following facts were proved in evidence : The deceased was near 50 years of age, and had „lived with his wife 21. years ; he was a drunken, passionate, and jealous hus band, and, in his fits of jealousy, he had repeatedly beaten his wife so .dreadfully that she had left him ; but she had gone t o live with him again , on his expressing his sorrow for his con duct. A short time ago a brother of the deceased returned from sea, where he bad been for 25 years. Recently the de. ceased had taken it into his head, when he was intoxicated, that his brother and his wife carried on a criminal intercourse, and on Sunday week, about one o'clock in the morning, the deceased struck his wife a violent blow on the head, and the two brothers went into the garden and fought. The deceased received several severe blows with a broomstick, and the neighbourhosd -was alarmed by the cries of " 'murder:" It was stated that the wife put her head out of the window, and exclaimed e m Give it him.eit serves him right." This language was addressed by her to the brother. On the following day the brother was charged by the deceased, at •Marylebonnt Office, with an assault, and ..after the case was heard, the .deceased forgave his brother, and the warrant against him was dis charged. On Wednesday last the deceased went to his wife, who had left his house, and entreated her to return and live with him. She said that she would not, for he had blasted her character by charging her with being criminal with his brother, and be made an oath he, would kill himself if she did not., On the same Morning the deceased returned home in a dejected state, and shortly after he was found lying on the steps of his door, having his throat cut with a razor, which lay on the ground by his side. Mr. S. C. Griffith, of Connaught-terrace, surg.,ion; stated, he was called - in to attend the deceased on Wednesday morning, and found him lying on the sill of the door where he resided, in Haystack-lane, Edgware-road ; a person was kneeling down holding his hand to the Wound. There was a vessel bleeding, which.he secured, and applied a bandage, and then had the de ceasert,conveyed to the Hospital. He was insensible all the time. A razor was lying on the ground bloody. Mr. Henry Pitman, house-surgeon of St. George's• Hospital, sworn, stated that the deceased was brought Into the Hospital on Wednesday last, with a wound in the throat between two and three inches in length, and several bruises on the body ; he regularly attended him till one o'clock on Monday morning, when he died,; the cause of his death was the inflammation in the throat, which extended to the lungs • he could sneak in .a low tone of voice, and said he had been beaten by his brother; the bruises were on the chest, head, loins, arms, and other parts ; the blows did not appear to be inflicted with a sharp in strument, but might be done with the fist. In addition to the above evidence, several persons came for_ ward, who stated, that the deceased had repeatedly charged different persons, who had defended his wife, from his violence, with being criminal with her. The wife, a very decent woman, • was examined, and she satisfied the Jury that the reports against her reputation were unfounded. Mr. ritman was re-examined, and deposed, that the blows did not cause the death of the deceased, ,but the wound in the throat. The Jury returned a verdict, ." That the deceased died from a wound which he inflicted in his throat, when in a state of insanity." The brother, whohas been for several days in custody, will therefore be liberated. • ALLEGED MURDER. Last night. an Inquest was held at`Saint Bartholomew's hospital, on the body of Johanna Rourke, aged thirty, who -was supposed to have been murdered by tier husband, who is at present in custody on the charge of murder.—Ann Her ring, of No. 2, New-street, North -square, deposed that the de ceased lived in the same house with her husband. On Mon day fortnight, witness was alarmed by screams which proceeded from the first floor, where the deceased lodged. Witness went down stairs, - and heard high words and blows between her and her husband. Witness begged of him to desist from beating her, but he would not, and eventually he forced the deceased out of the room : she was dreadfully beaten about the head and face; -she complained to witness of being very ill, and went to a doctor ; she shewed witness her legs and arms, which were covered with bruises; the deceased uitimately went into the hospital, where she died: Several witnesses corroborated this tesurnony.--Mr. Pierre, surgeon, attended the deceased, who was afflicted with a dangerous disease called the " land scurvy," which caused her death, and certainly not the blows. —Mr. Normal, the -surgeon, corroborated the above witness, and the Jury returned a verdict of—" Died by the visitation of God."
