SOLEM QUIS n►crfE FALSUM AVLEir LONDON, srp, un.l),4Y EVENING, MARCH 19, 1825. The Paris Papers of Wednesday evening ar rived last night. They do not contain any intel ligence of interest. It appears that the law for indemnifying the emigrants was carried by a ma jority of 259 to 124. We received this morning the Austrian Observer of the 7th instant. It contains an account of the late alarming discontents manifested by the Janissaries at Constantinope, which are attributed to their apprehension that it was intended to re vive the nisami dschedid, or the new military in stitution attempted by SELIM 111. We suspect, however, that this is by no means the real cause of the recent disorders in the Turkish capital, but that they have been produced by the ill success of the Ottoman arms against the Greeks, and the oppressive exactions to which the Porte has resorted, in order to raise money and troops, to try the fate of another campaign. If the 3 1 4 6( of discontent manifested by the Janissaries h ad been confined to that body, some credit Illight be given to the reason alleged by the l ' o rrespondent of the Austrian Observer; but t he evil is more deeply seated, for the same s pirit pervaded the mass of the inhabit "ts in Constantinople, and has widely ex tended itself throughout the Turkish pro viuces• The conspiracy, in fact, we learn by t he Augsburg Gazette, was really formidable, and Boone of the pa r ti e s implicated belonged to the c 'ltun's household, such, for instance, as the As trologer, SeidscheikMustapha, who possessed the entire confidence of His Highness. The information contained in the Austrian Ob server h highly favourable to the Greeks, and leav es no doubt as to the ultimate issue of the st ruggle between them and the Turks.

A Russ an ship with a cargo :rom Smyrna to Scala . Nuova was lately pillaged by them near Samoa, under the most frivalous pretexts, or rather with open violence. A'captain of a ship which arrived at Smyrna on the 31st ult. says, that at that time Patras was entirely free from blockade. acid that place as well as ( oron and ..)lodon were well provided with ammunition and provisions. No certain news has yet been received here tieat Ibrahim Pacha, since his late retuin to Rhodes, has again quitted that station. (There is no later account of the affairs of the Mores than what is afforded by the Hydra Gazettes up to the 7th January. The civil war seemed to have taken a very favourable turn for the Government at Napoli, all the chiefs of the insurgents hav ing been beantn, but it is not stated that any of them had been taken. The contagion at Napoli is stated to have bees very malignant.) An accurate printed list of the vessels that arrived at Alexan dria and sailed from that port in 1824, is a very interesting do cument. The arrivals in 11124 were 1290, (in 1823, only 933) sailed 1199, so that 91 remained in the port on the Ist of January, 11123. Among the ships arrived were, 600 Austrian, including 52 Tuscan tinder the Austrian flag, (in 1823 only 351). 11l French, (in 1823, 52). 251 English (including lonian and American). 100 Russsian, (in 1823 onl► As). 77 Sardinian. 70 Spanish. 47 Swedish. 14 Neapolitan. 13 Danish. 5 Dutch. 2 From the Papal States. The most remarkable document in the Hydra Gazettes is the following Report of General Gouras, which we translate lite rally, dated Lukura, 16th (28th) December : °• To the August Directory, " Most of the western treops under my command are at Ca lavrita and Kerpeni, while the others besiege Diakopto. " The tyrant 'Zaimi is besieged by the brave Suliots in three towers near Kerpeni. I hope that the measures I have ordered will bring this wicked apostate to Napoli. It will then appear whether the laws of Greece are founded on justice. If from false notions of philanthropy and political delicacy the Members of the Government should choose to pardon these anti-regents, and their late or present partisans, thew may know that next year they will have to pardon me, fur where wickedness is not punished, it easily finds imitators. " Gentlemen !—You will please not to despise these rude words of mine : For the Greeks are not a saleable commodity, to be given up to the contempt of a Zaimi, the dissoluteness of a Londo, or the hypocrisy of a Notara, to say nothing of the rapacity of Colocotroni, and the folly of Nikita, as being too notorious. The pious Sissini, after having drained Greece, and sent the wealth of Gastani to Zante, now sends his son with 300 men to support Zaimi at Kerpeni. (Signed) " GOURAS." A Jamaica Mail arrived this morning, bringing Papers to the 15th January. [From the Rao! Gazette of the 22d July.] By the Thracian, 13, we learn that hostilities were still carried on between the Castle of Saint Juan di Ulloa and the Town of La Vera Cruz. When she left the latter place, several houses had suf f ered severely from the bombardment from the Castle.— Great rejoicings took place at Carthagena, in consequence of the defeat of the Royalists, and the capture of Lima. Several valuable Spanish merchantmen, which were at Callao, fell into the possescion of the Patriots. The Venezuela frigate, Commo dore Chitty, was fitting out at Csrthagena to take dispatches to England from the Colombian Government, announcing the total annihilation of the Spanish forces in the South Sea.— A double bounty was paid to able-bodied seamen who enlisted on board the Venezuela. Front the Jamaica Courant of the 24th January.] His Grace the Governor has issued his Proclamation for pro roguing the House of Assembly to the tat of March. A most diabolical plot was lately formed to set fire to the town of St. Thomas, in the island of that name, which, how ever, was happily discovered in time to prevent the wicked design being carried into execution. It is repotted at Lloyd's, that the Diamond f r i ga t e , Lord NA PIER, from Mexico, &c. is ar rived off Plymouth. M R . PEEL--A Morniug Paper, we observe, notices a rumour said to have been in circulation, importing that this Gentleman intends to retire from office• This rumour, we conceive to be to tally destitute of foundation, as we doubt not that the same honourable motives which prompted him to accept of office, will induce him to retain it as long as his great talents can be of Y•er% ice to his country. lie stands aloof from all pecuniary motives for seeking public employment, and as he justly ranks among the most eminent and enlight ened Statesmen of the day, and is in the highest estimation with the people at large, in consequence of the important services which he has rendered to the country, by his zeal, ac tivity, knowledge, and abilities, to which he has added great official experience, we are per suaded that his public spirit and patriotism, will induce him to devote his high powers, as long as his health will permit, to the advantage of his country and of mankind. An English Company has pnrchased in several sea-ports of Spain a great quantity of colonial goods. COUNT GEORGE STACKPOOLE.—M. HENNEQUIN concluded on Saturday last, before the Cour Royale at Paris, his pleading for Mr. HENRY DRIVER COOPER, the representative of two of the plain tiffs against the deceased Count GEORGE STACK POOLE. In a previous Sitting this able advocate developed the facts of the case ; and on the pre sent occasion he discussed the legal reasons which in his opinion ought to cause the decree of the Lord Chancellor of England and the decision of the English House of Lords to be carried into execution in France. The cause was adjourned to this day for the reply of M. TRIPIER, the Ad vocate of the heirs of the deceased Count GEORGE STACKPOOLE• We are happy to find, that the account in the last East India Paper of the death of Mr. TuAcKEtty, of the Madras Establishment, is not corroborated by any advises received at the India House. Hopes are therefore entertained that the statement may prove untrue. We are happy to announce that Mr. CHARLES PHILLIPS was so far recovered from his severe illness at Worcester, as to be enabled to attend the Assize Court at Shrewsbury, on Thursday last, but he was very weak. FIRE IN W ESTAI NSTER.--(A WO/Nall Burnt, 4c.)---Last night a fire broke out in the house of John Heron, bricklayer, of 52, Duck-lane, Westminster, which caused considerable alarm and confusion. The flames were seen issuing from the hack part of the house, and the neigh bours rendered every assistance in brinaing, water to throw on the element. During the fire, the shrieks of a woman were heard, and Mr. H., at great personal risk, rushed through the flames, and brought out an old lady named Thompson, who was so much injured that she was carried to the Hospital without hope of recovery. Mr 11. was considerably injured, the whole of his hair and hands being burnt. The engines soon ar rived, and succeeded in extinguishing, the flames. The old lady, it is supposed, came home ine briated, as was her frequent habit, and the candle, or the sparks from the fire which was burning in the room, caused the accident. f 'L • i z ?-tr:; :‘,•41,PF0 • ' CA\ t 0...; • n • ••;?, • „ L% t • 0, a ,144: .V • : 4: • m • 40 • '•;.‘ ~24 , 44%'" e t . .;• t : • r C • g rFe rvw TEIE RING.

Early on Wednesday morning list, the body of DANIEL REYNIER, Esq., a gentleman of considerable opu lence, resiling opposite the Terrace, in Highbury-grove, was found floating in a horse pond by the road side, between the Balfaced Stag and Finchley Church, at East Finchley. The deceased was well known in the City, and especially on the Stock Exchange, of which he was for several years a member, and from which he retired, to the enjoyment of the otium cum dignitatc, about a year since. Shortly previous to that event, the mind of the deceased sustained a shock, in the unex pected death of a beloved wife, and from that period it never retained its former healthful vigour. Mrs. R. had scarcely given birth to a sixth child, when her offspring became motherless, and it is an affli c ti ng cons id erat i on, t h at a fam i ly of six children, by•the untimely death of their father, is made doubly orphans. Of these the eldest is scarcely fifteen, the youngest not two years old. About nine o'clock on Tuesday night, deceased called on the Rev. Mr. Williams, at Ho me -ton, to whom he was well known, requesting to be ac e 'mmodated with a bed ; this, however, was refused him, probably under the conviction that he would return home, and relieve his family from the - anxiety consequent upon his absence at that late hour. Deceased, it is said, then proceeded to the house of another friend, and from him he re ceived a written direction, which was found in his pocket, and which led to his discovery. On Thursday evening, an inquest was held on the body, at the Five Bells, East Finchley. A ser vant to Mr. Brewster, of Finchley, said, on Wednesday morn ing he found the deceased's clothes by the side of one of the hay-stack, and having informed his master of the circumstance, they searched over the ground, and found the body in a horse pond, which was very shallow; the deceased appeared to have first walked in with his clothes on, as the stockings and lower part of the trowsers were wet. The Bow -street patrol, stationed between Finchley-common and llighbury, overtook deceased in the road across the common about a qua r t er b e f ore eleven on 'Tuesday night; he spoke to him, but r ece i ve d no answer; he then asked where he was going; upon which he (the deceased) without uttering a word, ran away with all his speed ; he followed at a brisk trot, and at length overtook him ; de ceased was then lying on his back in the road, having run against a bricklayer by which they were thrown down ; w it ness di smou nted and assisted deceased to rise; he the n sa id h e li ved at Highbury, and asked to be allowed to ride h ome b e hi n d witness, promi sing i t fss told give hrim half' a soverei gn f or t h e trouble he had he could not do so; dec ease d asked if he could take him to a house where he cou ld h ave a t akenwtn bed ; witness observed, that it was too late, as all the houses were shut up, but that he could have a chair by the fire-side, at the station watch-house ; this offer deceased refused ; he continued walking by the side of witness for a considerable 'and stating that he had dined out time, conversing rationally, l • and hank rather too much wine ; witness eft deceased about a quarter past twelve o'clock on the com mon. —Several wit nesses deposed to the circumstance of the dece ase d h aving been afflicted with an aberration of intellect. The Jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased drowned himself while in an in sane state of mind." PO E T it Y.

COLONEL BERKELEY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR—liaving been present at the occurrence which took place on Monday, the 14th instant, between Colonel BERK ELET and Mr. JUDGE, and which has been most grossly misrepresented by a statement in The Morning Post of yester day, sinned "John Joseph Hadley," (a person who was not present), we beg leave to contradict such statement, and to assert that no hunting whip was used by Colonel BERKELEY on the occasion alluded to. It was simply a common riding or hand-whip with which Mr. JUDGE was' chastised; and the butt-end of it was not used once. Our object in accompanying Colonel BERKELEY was to pre vent wrong impressions being made by mis-statements and misrepresentations of the above kind, and by the propagation of falsehoods similar to those in which Mr. JUDGE has of late so invariably indulged at the expence of Colonel BERKELEY. — Your obedient servants, SUSSEX LE N NOX. ROBERT CARR HAMOND. Cheltenham, March 113, 1323. DRURY-LANE THEATRICAL FUND. The Anniversary Dinner, to commemorate the foundling of this Institution, was holden yesterday at the Free masons"laYern. His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK entered the room soon after half-past six, supported by Lord Morley, Lord Wm. Lennox, Mr. R. Colburn, M.P., Mr. M. Dawson, M.P., Mr. Hyng, %1.P., Mr. Calcraft, M.P., and other Gentlemen. An excellent dinner having been dispatched, and Non Nobis Domine sung, the health of" The King" was drank with fer vent applause, and the national anthem fbllowed in fine style by nearly all the vocal strength of the Theatre, and the sup porters of its Fund. The usual toasts, " The Royal Family,"—" Army and Navy," &c. were given in the usual manner. Lord AI Ont. EY, in rising to propose the health of their Royal Chairman, said that his Royal Highness only attended Meet ings of this nature occasionally; he might, by possibility, be in.. duced to do so by a variety of motives—such as curiosity, the change of scene, or many others ; but when they found him ever ready and constant in his desire to promote by his presence such objects as that for which they were now assembled, it could he from one motive only, and that must be the charitable and benevolent feelings which were so deeply seated in his heart.— (Applause.)—When they remembered too that their illustrious Prince did not come there after spending his days in recreation and amusement, but after zealously discharging the duties of a most important office, they must be still more firmly convinced that nothing but the unmixed desire of doing so much good could actuate his conduct. This applied to the general protec tion and support which his Royal Highness afforded to cha ritable institutions ; but in attending to this particular estab lishment, there might be some further inducement in the gra titude which he and all of them must feel for the many hours of pleasure and amusement they had derived from the exertions of that profession to which it belonged. Ills Royal Highness would also feel that it was intimately connected with the arts and literature of the country ; the support of which had always been the care of the most distinguished Princes. He was sure it was superfluous in him to say one word as an inducement for drinking the toast with fervour and delight.—(Great cheering.) The toast was then drank with three times three, and continuedlong applause. His ROYAL. Mom; Ess then briefly returned thanks, and said, there was no duty which he performed with more heartfelt satisfaction than that of being; present on this occasion. He wished every success to the "Institution, and hoped that the Report and the subscription of the day would shew its pros perity to be as great as he wished to see it.—(Great applause.) (flee—" flail Star of Brunswick." The next toast was, " The Drury-Lane Theatrical Fund, and its Master, Mr. Kean."--Three times three, and loud applause. Mr. KEAN returned thanks, and explained the situation and object of the Charity. He began by acknowledging the great services which his Royal Highness had rendered to the esta blishment, and said that it was indebted to him fbr its pre sent flourishing condition. A miserable defalcation had left the Fund wholly inadequate to its object, when his Royal Highness came amongst them and dispensed the sun-beams of charity through the gloom of wretchedness and despair. —He then took a review of the origin and progress of the Charity, and stated some new regulations by which the Widows of Free Subscribers were to have a benefit in the Fund. This, however, depended upon the benevolence of its supporters, and upon the collection to be made that day. Ile was sorry to observe that his brother actors did not come forward to support the Establishment with the alacrity he was anxious to see. Upon his return, however, he sincerely hoped to find that they were all become members. He then returned the grateful acknowledgements of the Com mittee to their Royal Chairman and benefactor. For himself, many years might elapse before he should again be present at their anniversary, and he therefore the more ardently tendered his eternal gratitude to the same illustrious quarter; and not only for himself, but in the name of the happy twelve who bad been rendered so by the benefactions of his Royal Highness.- -Mr. Kean proceeded to give a detail of the advantages which had resulted from the creation of the Institution, originating from absolute necessity : in one instance, in particular, he mentioned the only son of Reddish, an actor of suflicient talent to be ranked as a rival, and the only rival, of the immortal Garrick. This orphan in 1778, his father having died in a state of mental derangement in York Asylum, was brought up, and received a classical education, entirely from the funds of this Society, which at that period were extremely limited. He now had the satisfaction of addressing them under more favourable auspices : the wives and children of deceased members of this Fund now claimed their bounty, and it had been determined to adopt the following new regulations :—" The widow of a deceased mem ber to receive half the annual allowance which the husband en joyed at the time of his decease ; and such moiety not to be less than 201. per annum. To each child, the sum of 101. per annum, until he or she should arrive at the age of 14 years, then to receive the sum of 201. ; and if an orphan 201. per annum, instead of 101. per annum."—(Great applause.) The Subscription of the day was afterwards announced to amount to 1,2201. _ _ _ " The Gentlemen of the Drury Lane Committee" were next drank, and Mr. CALCRAFT returned thanks. The next toast was, " The Drury Lane Theatrical Fnad, and Mr. Elliston." Mr. EttisTorr, in returning thanks, adverted to the diffi cultic in which his management of the theatre commenced, and the large expellees which had necessarily been incurred, as well by the proprietors as by him privately. The success with which he had met these difficulties was to be attributed to the generosity of his creditors and to his own industry.— (Applause.)—Adverting . to his management, he said there were occasional breezes In the Theatre—(A laugh)—but they never lasted long, and were upon the whole beneficial to the Theatrical constitution.—(lkud laughter.)—Depending upon the kind support of the public, he would only say, that if suc cess followed as it had gone 'sefore, he should be content.— (Applause.) The other toasts were—" The Covent Garden Theatrical Fund," " The Stewards," and " The Ladies." The last was drank with even more than usual animation ; partly, perhaps, owing to the period of the evening, and still more in compli ment to the large number of elegantly dressed women who filled the galleries. The music of the evening formed a treat of itself. The glee singing was done, as we have before stated, by a large body of the Corps Operatic belonging to the Theatre, and occasional comic songs were introduced by Mr. T. Cooke, Mr. Harley, and Mr. Fitzwilliaw. But the harmony of the occasion received a still greater sup port in the exertions of Miss Graddon and Miss Cooke, Mr. Braham ' Mr. Sappio, and the instrumental performances of Messrs. Nicholson and Platt. Miss Graddon sung a Scotch air with remarkable sweetness, and was loudly encored. Messrs. Braham and Sapio, greatly to their honour, came from the Covent Garden Oratorio between their several performances there ; and their exertions were pro perly appreciated. Braham sang " Scots wha ha'e," and Sapio " Let us haste to Kelvin Grove." Both were encored. At a little before eleven, his Royal Highness retired amidst the grateful plaudits of the whole room. Every body appeared to be delighted by the manner in which the whole had gone off, MR. BUZONI. The following article appeared In th e Cam.- bridge Chronicle, after the letter from the late Mr. BELzoNr, addressed to his friend Mr. ilarcias, which was inserted in TnE SUN of Saturday ins -t, and as the widow of that enlightened traveller and excellent man is left in but indifferent cir cumstances, we feel it to be our duty to present . it to our Readers : This interesting document of Belzoni's excellent hear'. and frame of mind, is now in th e po ssess i on o f M rs . B e lzoni, to whom it was kindly given by Mr. Briggs, as it must always afford her a source of consolation. We are h a ppy t o s t a te that the renewed exhibition of the tomb will be opened in Leicester square during the course of this month : it will contain, in addition to the " room of beauties" and " the hall of pillars," which were exhibited in Piccadilly, the grand saloon in which the celebrated alabaster Sarcophagus was found. The whole of the tomb has been finished with scrupulous exactness, under the superintendence of Mrs. Belzoni and Mr. James Courtin, who was the late Mr. Belzoni's assistant. Several Egptiart antiquities and drawings will be placed in the room leading to the entrance of the tomb ; and, from a correspondence inserted in the Courier of Monday last, and which will be found in another. part of our paper, we cannot help expressing a hope that the matchless Sarcophagus itself will find a place in the centre of the saloon. We are led to expect so much from the well-known kindness anti liberality of its present possessOr : and here we must take leave to express our regret that so precious and in teresting a relic of the early ages of Egyptian splendour shoUld not have found a resting-place in that Museum for which it was designed by the discoverer of the tomb itself; nor can we help lamenting we ought indeed to use a stronger term) that neither Mr. Belzoni in his lifetime, nor his widow and family since his decease, have ever been benefitted one sixpence by the sale of the Sarcophat,eits.• We understand, from the best authority, that the expences incurred by Mrs. Belzoni in forwarding ant completing the intended exhibition, have been great indeed, and we sincerely hope that a generous public will not disappoint her labours,—we trust that every one will feel an interest in softening down the expression in poor Belzoni's letter—" that." after all, he died a beggar !" and we will ven t ure t o h o p e t h a t his wife and his mother's family, who were dependant upon Belzoni's exertions, will derive, from the success attendant on the coming exhibition, that assistance which was denied to 'Belzoni whilst he was alive. It is to the public alone that Mrs. Belzoni can now look : she is a native of England, and site has strong claims upon the gratitude of this country ' • and we con. elude with repeating our hope that she will not look to it in vain.-(Cambridge Chronicle, March 11, 1825. ' We are surprised at . this statement, as it is well known that the present Proprietor of the Sarcophagus, Mr. SOANE, paid for it immediately 2,000/. in Exchequer Bills, and was be sides at a great expence in opening the back part of his house for its admission. This gentleman, we understand, means to illu minate his house a few days hence, for the purpose of gra tifying his numerous friends, and other enlightened characters,. with a view of this Sarcophagus, and his other treasures of Antiquity.

Proposals we find are issued for the raising ,a sum of money for the purpose of forming a new street from - the north end of the Southwark Bridge to the Royal Exchange, At present, certainly, the apprlaches to the Southwark Bridge are so extremely inconvenient as to deprive the public, in a great measure, of the great advantages which that bridge would afford, were its means of communication to the south side of the river facilitated by a new street erectetton the plan proposed, leading from the Bridge to the Royal Exchange• IDIORAMA, REGENT'S PARK; will Re- Open on MONDAY.NEXT, the .2 Ist Instant, with a V, LEW of the RUINS of HOLYROOD CI-lAiEL, a Ninon ileht Scene, Painted by Mons.
