G R F,-/-:C E. ACK CaDdia, June 12, 1825, on board the Mars, Adrxlintl Miaoulis. - Wall a.mostlav-ourable wind we are now set out on cur expedition to Suda in Crete, where the united fleet of the Ottoman Power at present lies at anchor—in all, 130 sail. We are, however upwards of fi ll, and 10 brulots. :I have the greatest hopes of our suceess; but shall give you the details when it is over. Our latest news is as tollows :—On,the 24th of May, the Turkish squadron passed the Dardanelles, their intention being to sail for Previsa, where 15,000 Albanians are staid to be ready to embark for the north of the Alorea and Al is solonglii. On the Ist of June following they we met by Sac buri's squadron in th,e etreit between Andros and Capo Doro, in Eubota. Our fire•ships were, as usual, successful. One ship of 66 cannon, a frigate, and a corvette, were burned. The ship had on board almost ell the, tteasure and 750 men, and the corvette 300 ; six or eight transports were taken, laden with balls and powder, spades, and other useful apparatus. The squadron, which escaped immediately scampered in the direc tion of R hodes, and has since joined the Egyptians at Suds, where they bad reviously entered on the Ist or June, for the purpose of bringing fresh troops and 'provisions to follow up Ibrahim Paella's late successes in the south of the Morea, Where he is now repairing the fortification of Navarino, re building the old castle, and planting batteries on the island. On the 4th, Sactouri's squadron joined usoff Falconera, and we put into the harbour of Milo, where we have since remained, careening, taking inprovisions, and waiting for the wind, which we have at last gni. On Shell or 4th instant, a corvette sepa rated from the rest of the Turkish Eect, was chased into the port of Lyra by three of our ships. A capitulation ensued, by which the Turks were to give up the ship to the Greeks, if allowed to escape on shore. This was agreed to, but, instead of observing it, the Turks immediately set fire to the vessel and escaped. The Greeks : pursued them on the island, and took 159 prisoners, who are at presenton board a ship with us, and will, I hope, be sent to Napoli. I understand that some irre galaries were committed.by the Greeks on this island. By land, Colocotroni is again at the head of. the Moreate army, and act ing against Ibrahim Pacha. 'We have, however, had no news of any Importance as yet. At Arcadia, a small town about '2O miles north of Navarino, en the coast, Pappa Flessa, the AIL plater of the Interior, was stationed with 200 meo, when they were surprised by the Egyptian, ;tad biu3self anti 100 men cut off. He is, however, no loss, as he was a man of most despicable character. Missolonghi is still blockaded, but has provisions for a short time. Four ships and one brulot has been dispatched to its as sistance by the Admiral ; they have daily skirmishes with the enemy, and are usually successful.. The Turks have possession of Salons, but in Attica all is quiet. - A t SPezzia the Amazon Bobalina has been shot about ten days since. a•ler brother had seduced . a girl, whose rfiations were making some elamMir about the house. Bobalina made a sortie upon them, and had insulted them, when some unknown hand drew a pistol, and shot her through the bead. All now depends on our affairs at Suda. If we can burn the half of the ships, we'can prevent the intended debarkment at the.noith and south of the I%lorea. Three or four ships will be sufficient to blockade Modon and CorOn—a few more can rescue illissolonghi and take Patras; and we can cruise before Navariuo, and prevent any landing of troops or provisions, so that Ibrahim Paclia must tall an easy prey to Colocotroni ; and the Mores is tree. . June 15. I have delayed this letter for some time, in hopes of conclud ing it with the news of our success; but as yet the wind has been unfavourable, or too feeble to attempt any thing. Yesterday, ;about two o'clock, there being a slight breeze, the Admiral gave the signal for attacking about 40 ships of the enemy, which lay outside the mouth of the harbour. We had an engagement of twohours, but the deceitful wind ceased almost as we com menced, so that our brulots were almost 'useless. We hoivevcr burned one corvette of 24 guns and 200 men, and drove the remainder into the port, where the weather would not permit us to follow them. The entrance of the harbour is defended by a small castle on an island at the mouth, which mounts . some excellent cannon, and these, together with the good position taken by the enemy within, render the attempt desperate, even: with a good wind, and impossible without one. The news to day from Missolonglii is good.- Hopes are entertained that the succours sent will be sufficient to save it. Two thousand Turks are at present blockaded at Salona, , where it is expected they must soon capitulate, as they have no provisions. Colocotroni is in Tripolizia; making all preparations to start for Navarino. We yesterday took five prisoners from the wreck of the corvette; who represent that the enemy have the greatest difficulty in col-, letting the soldiers heie (Suds) for the Morea ; and it is pro. bable they will be detained here for some time yet. • June 17. 1 have an occasion to-day for Zante; for two days back the wind has, been such as to prevent any movements against the enemy : there ig no fresher news by land than what my letter contains; every where there are great hopes and but little action. Colocotroni, however, has much in his power. EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED ZANTE, 28TH JUNE, BY WAY OF OTRANTO, " In my last I mentioned that Ibrahini Pacha 11ml-destroyed Arcadia, - .Nisi, •Calamata, and Armyro. Afterwards he pro ceeded to Kytries, the capital and residence of the Bey of Maina, which place he took and levelled with the ground. He thence returned to Alodon, where leaving part of his army, he set out with 10,000 men towards T;ipoiizzi, which placehe occupied without much resistance: it was, however, nearly burnt to the ground, e ith er by th e E g ypti ans or G ree k s , w hi c h of the two has not been ascertained. It is very generally be lieved here, that Colocotroni and • his adherents, who have been liberated, are actually in the interests of the Egyptian Pacha : whether such is the case or not, it is certain that these chiefs could not induce the 3loriots to enlist and oppose the enemy. " The Capitan Pacha is in Candia with the Egyptians anti Algerines. The combined fleets are expected soon, with troops and provisions. "We have just received advices from MissOlonghr of the surrender of Anatolica, the key store of the firmer place, which still holds out, although the Seraskier continues to invest it closely." EXTRACT rnom THE OFFICIAL GAZETTE OF HYDRA (THE FRIEND OF THE LAW) OF THE 22D OF MAY, (3D OF JUNE.) The Commissioners of the Maritime Tribunal have sent us the tbllowing agreement in Italian (which we have trans lated into Greek).between Messrs. C. Dantz and Co., of Con stantinople; and Captain Stephano Andritzevitz, Master of the Austrian merchantman the Crion. The .said vessel was taken and detained in the port of Spezzia, and, the Austrian Com mander 'carried -it away from there by forCe, and by threaten ing the local government of that island, under pretext that it had been unlawfully seized. The above.nentioned agreement develops the intrigues employed by many captains of European merchant vessels, in opposition to the dignity of their respective flags, gs and to the neutrality whi c h th e y p ro f ess , i n or d er to validate all the means which the universally-recognized rights of nations affbrd us, and of which the justice of the august so vereigns of Europe allow us to avail ourselves, for the protection of our natural and political independence. .We proceed to give the agreement. " It is understood by the present agreetnent that the char ter-parties, instructions, bills- of lading, and all other papers drawn up between Messrs. G. Dante and Co. and Stephano Andritzevir, Captain of the Austrian merchant ves.-A the Crier), relative to two cargoes to he received on board the said .vessel for Prevesa, the one at -this-place (Constantinople), and the other at Saro (in Thrace), and serving to show that the said two cargoes appertain to Messrs. C. Dantz and Co., are ficti tious, and that truly and really the said cargoes belong to the Turkish Governm e nt, an d t h at t h e above-mentioned rapers are drawn .up for the sole purpose of protecting the said car goes during the passage, they being Turkish property. There fore the said papers are by no means binding to the contract ing parties in whatever may occur. .Further, the Captain Ste- pharu) Andritzevitz hereby declares, that ha has received from the Turkish Government, by which he is chartered, through the means of Mers: . C. Dante and Co. the half of the freight for his second voyage,-namely, from Constantinople to Pre- .vesa, being at the rate of 60 pares per kilo on 7,040 kilos of corn ; and he obliges himself, in case he should be taken by j the Greeks, and if the whole of • the amount of his freight should be paid hiM by them, to repay to the said Messrs. C. Dante and Company, or to their order without the least difficulty, the . above half, . which he acicnowledges to have received from them. And on their side the said Messrs. C. Dante and Co. acknowledge that they have already received from the said Turkish Government, the half of the freight for , the second voyage—namely, from -Saro to Prevesa, being 50 paras per kilo on the same quantity of corn ; and they engage themselves to hold the said half of the freight at the disposition of the captain as soon as he will have received his second cargo at the above-mentioned place (Saro), on condition that the said, captain oblige himself to repay ,the said half' of the freight, (should he have disposed of it) in case in his s econd voyage hi s cargo should be taken from him by the Greeks, and the whole of his freight should be paid by them. And the said captain moreover promiseS, that in case the cargoes should be taker, by the Greeks, either in his first or second voyage, and in case they should parhim the , l,ooo Spanish dollars,' which the charter parties and the bills of lading testify he has advanced on each of those cargoes, to.give that sum to Messrs. Dante and Co: "In testimony-of the above, the said parties have mutually given this present obligation to provide for cases, in which it may be found necessary. (Signed on the original) " C.

The Corporation of Devizes should consist of thirty-six members, a majority of whom must .be present when any vacancies are to be tilled up ; but for some time past there have been, but twenty-five members, and several of thase now live at a distance, so that there must necessarily be a great diffi culty in obtaining at any time the presence of 19. .k Council was summoned for one o'clock on.

By the Po.st_thiemorning we have the follow ing Letter, respecting the riotous proceedings at Sunderland, from an. intelligent Correspondent, dated, - • . NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYIE, AUG. 6. " As might naturally be ejcpected, the calamitous catas trophe consequent upon the riotous proceedings of the Union Sea Plea at .Sunderland, last Wednesday evening, has produced a very deep sensation in this district. But with every bias to . .htnanity, and most deeply,deploring the sacrifice of the. lives of our fellow-creatures, it is impossible not to admit it was Ale 'mended by the exigency of the circumstances. The conduct of the Magistrates is spoken of by every one as deserving of praise for their forbearance and humane efforts to avert the pains of military execution; tolit, unfortunately, there was no making any impression upon the. riotous multitude. Nay, they, had the temerity to attack the soldiers with 'brickbats and various other missiles, some time before a single musket - was.fired. One or more of the soldiers, in feet; were knocked down, and somewha t seriously wounded in the fece. In this state of things there was only one way of acting—force was to be repelled by force. And it is but justice to observe, that in discharging a very painful public ditty, the Magistrates displayed great coolness, and .seemed perfectly reckless of personal danger. The military at first were ordered"to fire over the heads of the rioters ; but when 'they saw nobody hurt, the mob seemed to defy the Authorities, and to grow more outrageous than ever. Hence the dire ne cessity of prineetling to extremities in the way that has already been mentioned in my Lett rof the 4th instant. Instead of three, five persons,it appears, were shot; and two individuals, it is said, are missing, supposed to be drowned. The Coroners for Essington Ward and Chester 'Ward, I'. RUSSELL, Esq: and M. HALL, Esq. with two several Juries; have examined a great mass of evidence, with a view to ascertain all the particulars that surrounded the five unfortunate men'at the time they came. by their death ; and there can be no doubt that a most diligent and ample investigation -has been gone into. It lasted nearly the whole of two days. Although I cannot give the precise phraseology of the verdict, it is equivalent lojustiflable homi cide. One-of the Magistrates, JOHN DAVISON, set off Ibr London yesterday, in order to lay the whole details of the distressing affair before the HO M E SECRE TARY. Nothing, certainly, can be Said in defence of 'the seamen ; for it is well known, that at the present moment the wages on the Wear and the Tyne are higher than what axe paid to any other of the same class of men in the kingdorn, or perhaps in the world. One of our local papers Of this day observes, with great truth, 4 , It is the duty of every honest man to tell these misguided individuals that the proceedings in which they are engaged are intolerable, and cannot possibly he suffered with impunity. What right has one man to interfere witlythe pri vate individual conduct of another? Let every man please himself, either to work or not, upon the terms proposed by the Ship-owners. This might be fair ; but it is not•to be endured for a moment that men shall form combinations among them selves, dictate terms, and molest or murder all who do not con form to this abominable Association.' When the last. ac counts left Sunderland all was quiet, and the ships, were getting to sea as usual. Independently of two troops of the 3d Light Dragoons quartered there at present, a strong detachment of the Tyne Hussars, under the command of Captain PEMBErt- TON, is also there upon duty." INQUEST ON THE BODY OF THOMAS AND. SUNDERLAND, AUG. 4. A Coroners' Inqufst was held to-day on the body of Wil liam Aird, a sailor, wh ) was killed by a gun-shot wound on' Wednesday laSt at Sunderland, at the north side of the river Wear. This inquiry also involved the manner in which Wal lace and Dove came by their deaths, as nearly the same' evi dence.applied to all. • John Coxen examined—l am a surgeon, and was sent for on the 3d of August to attend the deceased ; I found a gun-shot wound in his bead ; the, ball entered the back part of the head, and came out in the front; he w as a li ve , b u t di e d i n a s h or t time.after ; I have no doubt that his death was caused by this Wound. Wm. Young, of Sunderland, seaman.—,On the. evening of the 3d of August, I was standing on a block of wood on the 'beach, when.l saw. Mr. Hutchinson, a ship-builder, on board the ship Mary, he presented a pistol at the people who were on shore. IdO not belong to. z the Union Society. 1 saw the pistol go off, but I cannot Say that it took effect or not. There were soldiers on board the - Mary ; they fired, and I reckoned seven shots. I yaw Richard Wallace fall, and a . sailor. Wallace only lived an hour atfter the shot. He belonged to one, of the Associations, but I can't say to which. There was a disturbance on the river. I saw four boats, the crews of which were endea vouring to take the men out of the-ships; they boarded the ships for that purpose.. I did not • know the name of Mr.. Hu tchinson until after•the shots werefired. . Mr. Davison, one of the Magistrates, who was with the sol diers .when they fired, now entered the room, and said, that as the body.of the Magistrates had determined to send him off to the Secretary of State, he was , anxious to be examined, if his evidence was thought necessary. • • The CORONER said he would then examine him, and. the examination proceeded. Perhaps, said Mr. Davison, it may be proper for me to st a te .u p o n what authority -I acted. The CORONER—IF there be any one present who can give any evidence of the authority of Mr. Davison, it would, perhaps, be Satisfactory to hear him. Mr. Davison—l wish to sliew, as far as my opinion' goes, that a riot did exist. • . 1 Mr. Davidson examined—.l received a communication on the evening of the .?.d of August, that the assistance of a Magis- I Irate was rendered necessary, in consequence,of a riot which had taken place. ,I did not a tt en d o ffi c i a ll y to th a t message.--: In a quarter of an hour after my acting in this manner, Mr. Kitson, an attorney, came to me, and requested me to go down ;Immediately, as a considerable alarm 'had taken place. I has tened down to the Exchange, .and found that i detachment of the 3d Light Dragoons, with several gentlemen, merchants, and ship-owners, .were waiting for a Magistrate. I asked several gentlemen if they would 'state to me, upon oath, that a riot existed ? 'They answered Le the affirmative, and I put the oath to them. I asked them if a large assembly of people were acting in a riotous and tumultuous man ner ? Their • answer was, that an alarming riot had oc curred, and that murder was supposed to have been corn. mitted.' I left the room in which I met them, and went to the Officer commanding the detachment, and told him that as as Magistrate I was ready to discharge my duty. The party, consisting of about twenty-four men, went along with me through the:High-street, and other gentlemen were with us. We were met by several Persons, who cried out that murder had been committed, and it was supposed that a person of the name of Hubbard had been murdered. We then left the Iligh-street, and proceeded into the Low-street, and along to the Fish-market. I then observed that a considerable. riot existed, which induced me to read the Riot Act. The procla mation was made in a low voice before the Act was read. I only read such parts of it as were necessary. I desired the people to disperse, which they were not inclined to do. It was impossible to tell how many people were assembled ; there were at least 1,000 persons present. I requested the Officer to disperse the crowd. The soldiers drew their sabres, at the sight of which the people on the south side of the river dispersed. During that time Mr. Robinson, a magistrate, had arrived. We then proceeded along the quay, eastward, near .100 yards, and where it was supposed that the riot continued to exist. During that period Mr. 11. appeared, and said he had, been ill treated, and had his stave taken from him by one of the rioters in a fall. About this time two persons were apprehended, and 1 it was said that the people on board the ship Mary had been very ill used. I was requested to go with the military in the boats, and on going into the mid-channel, I discovered that the ships in the harbour had their rigging and yards thronged with people, who assailed us with stones. When we got more to the north side of the river, I perceived several boats filled with sea men, and attempted to board the loaded vessels as they came down. We assisted a vessel to sea, and in doing so a,q uan tity of stones w ere t h rown at us, an d I ilk every, one of us were hit. The shore was crowded to a great extent. All the people on board our boat were wounded. I was hit on the back part of the head. The noise was so great, and the stones flying so fast, that I requested the Commanding Officer to have his men ready. `We proceeded further down the river, till we, got opposite the Cohbie slip on the south side: the showers of stones were so large and so frquent that I resolved upon consulting the Commanding Officer upon the expediency Of firing. The Com manding Officer (Mr. Phillips) thought it advisable to fire high, with a view not.to hurt any of, the people on shore, and I be lieve that the first the did no injury. It had however the effect of irritating.. the people more, and the stones came, if pos sible, in still greater quantities than before. Mr. Phillips then said, it Was probable that firing high would do as much mis chief as firing low, inasmuch as the hill, which was high on the, north side, was crowded with people who came out of curiosity, and who took no part in the riot. After a few shots were fired, I can't say what number of persons• dispersed, but we pro ceeded to sea with the vessel. During the firing I remarked that the seamen separated, and when I returned to the harbour all was quiet on the river. In our way back we were not in terrupted, and the vessels went to sea. " A Juror—Was the Riot Act read on the North Shore when the slaughter Was committed ? Mr. Davison—No, if it was read it could not be heard in consequence of the noise and tun nit which prevailed ; that is my opinion. _ A juror —Do you think that the Riot Act was known to be read by the people on the south side of the river 111 r. Davison—l read the Riot Act very loudly, and re peatedly called silence. A Juror—The people on both sides of the river could not hear the Riot Act read ? A Juror—lt might have'been read from a boat. • A Juror—Ouit it not to have been read at both sides of the river ? The CORONER could give no specific answer. The Witness examined by Mr. DAVISON, jun.--The crowd on both sides of 'the river and on the water I consider to have been equally engaged in the riot. I know nothing of Aird or the other men who were shot. I thought the riot at both sides the river was the same. I could only read the Riot Act where I did. with a view to our personal safety. Had I proceeded otherwise I consider I should have bcen-inurdered. Mr. Laws was of opinion that the -use of Military -was neces sary to disperse the crowd; and felt .convinced that if the sol i fliers had not been placed on the-ship where he was, they would have all been murdered.. The witness, in continuation, said, that he did not think the pistol of Mr. Hutchinson would have carried a ball to the shore, much legs have killed a, person standing at such a distance. Several witnesses corroborated Mr. ,Laws, as to the part taken by Williams, and in opposition to his evidence. Richard Thompson saw John Down. fall; he was one of the per Sons killed by the tiring;. he saw no stones thrown. , It was here asked if Mr. Hutchin s on mi g ht not beexamin ed ?—The Coroner agreed to do so;. but a Mr. Palmer was called, who swore that he was on board the ship Mary from the time of her getting under weigh, and that no shot was fired by him or Mr. Hutchinson, or any other person during that day. Mr. Hutchinson had a pair of unlcisded pistols which he presented, when presently the boats sheered ofF. ; Watford, the constable, swore that he was on board the Mary, and that no gun was fired from her while he was on board of her. Other witnesses were called, and the Coroner summed up the evidence, when the Jury found a verdict of " JustifiLtble chic" on the part of the military. Another inquest was held on the south side of the river, upon the body of Creighton, who happened to be taken to that side after he was shot. Nearly the same evidence was adduced, and the Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death." •PRICE OF STOCKS THIS 13,thic Stook 3 per Cent. Red 9ls 3 per Cent. Cons. 3) per Cent.

Commissioners of his Majesty's Navy; to engage such of the shipwrights in his Majesty's dock-yard as might be disposed to volunteer their services, to proceed for a limited period to work in the river Thames. The .deputation opened their commission in the Mould Loft, where an animated discus sion took place, an impression prevailing among the ship wrights that they were invited to proceed to the Thames for the purpose of opposing the shipwrights of that port in a struggle for the maintenance of their rights.. This .lomression the gentlemen present endeavoured to remove, and to convince the workmen that the conduct of the shipwrights of London was destructive of the interests of the trade, and a gross and arbitrary invasion of interest and right of every workman to carry his labour (his stock in trade) to the best market that may be open to him, uncontroulled by the opinions and actions of others. In this endeavour they, ,appeared to be successful, ;end, aided by the offer .of liberal wages, we understand they have already engaged a considerable number.

URDEIL—An Inquest was held on Saturday, at the Coach and Horses, Turnmill-street,ClerkenWell, on the body of Jane .Earl, who was murdered by a man named Cor nelius Sullivan. It appeared that the deceased and Sullivan had cohabited together for some time, and lived on very bad terms. It was proved that on one occasion the deceased ran into the shop of a person named Hearn, in Turnmill-street, in a terrible fright, and pursued by Sullivan; he dragged her out, and having knocked her down on the pavement, lie kicked her several times. She was unable, from his violence, to speak, when the brute stamped upon her with his. feet. The Jury re turned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against Sullivan."
