It is not to the Government that I have lent my money, bat to you, as may be seen by your signatures. There fore, I once again write to you for the last time to send me the money I expended in victualling your fortress, as also my phy sician whom you have detained ; if you comply not, know that I will send, and have your olive trees burnt, and your fields laid waste : think not to intimidate me with your Government, for when lam in the right, I fear not God himself. I expect from you a categorical answer in five days; but do not forget that you will be answerable for the misfortunes the province may suffer by your refusal. " ODYSSEUS ANDRITZO. " Tzeveniko, 1825." 'ANSWER OF THE ATHENIAN PRI-MATES. " General ODirssEus—We have received your letter, by which you threaten to lay Waste our fields; and burn our olive. trees, if in five days we do not send you your money and your physcian. " The money, as you know, was spent by yourself in provi, .sions for the citadel, which belongs to the Government; your• physician is employed As surgeon in the garrison,.and in conse quence fills a public office ; for these reasons we have referred you, and we refer you again, to the Government, who would not be inclined to do you the least injustice; bring your claims forward before those whom they concern, and you will be satisfied. With regard to the menaces you hold out to us, we certainly have no ground to fear that our fields and olive trees, untouch ed after four invasions, will be wasted by that same Odysseus, who has so often fought in their defence. • " THE PRIMATES OF ATHENS. " Athens, 1825." Amongst the French Papers, whence the fore going letters - were extracted, there is a Procla mation by CONDURIOTTIS, and the moderation and firmhess which it evinces, and which his conduct has always displayed, will, we- hope, be found more than adequate to prevent the evils the factious and the discontented (impatient of controul) appear disposed to excite, now that a rettun to civil order takes from them all hope of plunder, and deprives them of that lieenCe the previously disorganized• state or . Greece-had no means of repressing. The accounts above referred to, as Coming from Augsburg; are similar. in some degree to those contained in the Courier Francais of Monday, 'dated Corfu, 7th May, but are fuller and more explicit. We have therefore given them the pre ference. They.appear in the Augsburgh- Gazette as extracts from the Florentine Gazette of t6th May, but no date is given by which we can infer the period when the events transpired. • " Redschid Pacha's army of 20,000 men, in its advance into Western Greece, had an engagement near Anatolico with the Greek cavalry, in which the Turks lost 300 men, and were forced to retreat. The Greeks under Constantine Bozzaris pur sued them, and in the retreat another more considerable combat took place, in which the Turks lost 1,000 men, among whom were many European adventurers. Bozzaris was slightly wounded. 3lissolonghi is suffiCiently furnished with ammuni tion and provisions, and .5,000 of the Greek troops are as sembled there. Conduriottis has drawn together 10,000 men near Navarino, and there is consequently nothing more to be feared from the Egyptian expedition. Admiral Sachturi sailed with .a division to illyteline, where there were seventeen Turkish transports waiting for the fleet coming from Constantinople. On the appearance •of the Greeks the crews fled and took refuge on shore, and the Greeks captured all there vessels. Near Snda, Admiral Miauly, after a combat of eleven hours, has captured eight Turkish ships, set fire to a frigate, and sunk twelve smaller vessels. At Volo, the Ipsariot vessels, under the command of Diamanto, have taken five small Tur kish vessels." LISBON, MAY `2s.—This morning sailed his Britannic • Majesty's ship IVellesky, Captain GRAHAM C. ElimmoND, for Rio de Janeiro, to touch at Madeira, having on board his Excel lency Sir CHARLES STUART and suite. In the honourable and important mission with wl;ich this illustrious and estimable Negociator is en trusted he is accompanied by the ardent and cordial uishes of all those loyal hearts which are interested in the honour and glory of the august House of Braganza, and the real interests of the inhabitants of Portugal and Brazil. Nothing of any moment took place in either House of Parliament last night, and we are left at liberty to recur again to the previous night's debates. We wish to express our satisfaction at the appointment of a Committee to take into con sideration the constitution of Committees on Pri vate Bilk, and report to the House their ob- servations and opinions thereon. Every body rousthave been aware of the very defective system on which the proceedings of these Com mittees are at present conducted, as little calcu- fated to effect the purpose for which they were appointed, as to benefit the parties interested. Their avowed object was to elucidate the real facts of a case in which any person sought to be invested with extraordinary powers, and for which reason the aid and assistance of Parliament was required. The necessity of such an intervention in such a case is sufficiently obvious without com ment, but in the present way in which the busi ness is conducted, they are not only entirely useless, and totally fail of the object for which they were introduced, but they are worse ; for they cause a most ruinous expenditure, and it quite as often happens that Private Bills,evidendy out, calculated to work the public good, are thrown as Bills of an opposite character, and thus in this the most favourable view of the caseohe good ex- pected to be derived by the nomination of a Com mittee is at least neutralised, so that the expendi ture occasioned by them might just as well he sav ed. The expenditure, however, large us it is, is not so much objectionable, if the parties interest ed in promoting or opposing the Bill, could only feel certain that when it was incurred, when all the trouble they had given themselves was over, they should have a decision on the merits of the case, and one accordant with jnstice,and made on due consideration, without influence, and with out " jobbing." An enquiry of .some nature into the truth of the facts alleged in the peti tion on which the Bill is founded, we have said is obviously necessary, and if, therefore, the Select Committee now appointed to consider on the subject, shall only point out the weans that will save the proceedings of Committees on Private Bills from being influenced by Members interested in the issue of the Bill, and from the votes of those who have not heard the evidence, and the Report, when made, from taint and sus picion of partiality or interest, they will work a great and most extensive public benefit. Private letters received this day from Paris, state that no Bills upon Londo n can be obtain ed, and in consequence, it is expected that most of the bullion sent from this country will be re turned. An article from Brussels, 'dated May 31, says Great damage has been done by a hail -storm in the pro vince of Liege. Though the storm lasted only ten minutes, a great many birds were Sound dead, and th e h a iL stones were the size of a pigeons egg . 3 . M.

Yesterday afternoon, about:two o'clock, :his AIAJESTIC at rivecl at his Palace:in Pall.mali, from tl►e Royal Lodge-Wind sot, in his travelling carriage, escorted by a party of the 7th Hussars- • In a short time after the RING signified his .com-- mands to receive the Duchess of CAMBRIDGE, and Us Royal nephew and niece, the Prince GrounE and the Princess AUGUSTA ANELra, of Cambridge. At three o'clock the Royal Party waited upon his MAJESTY, accompanied by the Duke of CAMBRIDGE. • Tits MAJESTY'S DRAWIN G Room.---The pre parations for this splendid scene, which took.place this day, are in the usual grand and magnificent style. The usual regula tions for the approach of coMpany, have been posted, and in order to insure regularity, strong parties of the dismounted police were placed in St. James's -street, on the Mall, and various stations in St. James's Park; also through St. James's street, Pall-mall, and Piccadilly: The guards have been doubled, and the Ktsre's guards, to which an additional num ber of men have been added, were selected from the Cold stream, and were stationed in the Palace, where his MA JESTY slept last night. The usual Patrols of Honour were formed from the Life Guards, those men, dressed in their new uniforms and splendid cuirasses, gave to the ani mated scene an air of great and martial grandeur. • The Parks have been, throughout the day, thronged with elegantly dressed company, and many who were so fortunate as to procure tickets of admission to the anti-rooms, were all the morning busily thronging to their places. The Yeomen of the Guard line the principal staircases,' in full Court uniforms, and the anti-chambers and saldons have been occupied by the Pages in, Waiting. The company commenced arriving rapidly at half past twelve o'clock, and at that hour the line of carriages ex tended a very considerable distance : only those entitled to the pi ivilege of entre passed through the Park. Janiees, Tiro o'Clock.—The magnificent suite of Rooms occupied on this occasion by his MAJEsft and the Court: were thrown open, and the Ladies and Gentlemen who had obtained tickets allowed the pleasure of inspecting the whole. —The grand entrances to the Palace were oecupied by the Veo- Men of the Guard, in full uniform, and they lined the avenues to the stations of his Majesty's Pages of Honour, who conducted the company to the Lords in Waiting, by whom the presentations took place. His .MAJxsT v was graciously pleased to appoint the hour of two o'clock for hold ing the Drawing-room, but previous to that hour the arrival of company was very general. We have only been enabled, from our limits, to give but a slight description of the arrange ments of the interior.—The usual King's guard on this occa sion was doubled, and the Band of the Coldstrearns, in their new and splendid dresses, occupied one of the Court-yards, and enlivened the company by performing ,some delightful airs. The Guard of H.onour was commanded by Col. 11'001)1.01w. FASHIONABLE. ARRIVALS. The ion.

The Duche.ss of Bedford gave a grantU ball and supper on Tuesday evening, at her house in St. James -square. The whole suite of drawing-rooms were elegantly fitted up, and were most brilliantly illuminted. Dancing commenced at eleven o'clock, in the principal drawing-room. The supper, which consisted of every luxury of the season, took place at two ; th e confec tionary was furnished by Monsieur De May ; and the ice and fruits by Smith of Piccadilly. Dancing recommenced soon after three, and continued till nearly six yesterday morning.— There were present upwards of 400 of the hang ton. Lord Holland entertained the Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdown, and a distinguished party, to dinner yesterday, at Holland-house. The Earl of Falmouth had a dinner party yesterday, at his house in St. James's square. The Ladies Fitzpatrick had a grand dinner and evening party yesterday, at their house in Grosvenor-place. Lord 13erwick had a dinner party yesterday at his house in Grosvenor-square. Sir Montague Cholniondeley entertained a large party to dinner yesterday, at his house in Brook -street. Lord Carrington had 3 dinner party yesterday, at his house in Whitehall. GRAND DINNER AND 13ALT. AT THE MANSION- HOUSE. Yesterday the Grand Entertainments, which were postponed at Easter on account of the dilapidated condi tion of the Egyptian Hall, were given by the LORD MAYOR. Although great disappointment was felt at the usual period of fes tivity, consequence of th e p ostponement, by those who make gaudy preparations for the evening display, the respect able citizens had no reason to complain of the delay. It was generally known that the ball tickets were to be limited to less than one half of the usual number, so that the bustle and con fusion which have prevailed at civic banquets, almost without abatement, up to the present year, Were strangers to this, one of the most important in the catalogue of metropolitan feasting. The Egyptian Ball, which has been long complained of as a place disfigured by neglect, and which, at last, came under the hands of a spirited Committee, has received such embellish ment); as might have been expected from the taste of the man who cast out the abominations of the old state bed, and its tat tered hangings. The numerous columns and the ceiling, which, ' though classical, presented an exceedingly heavy appearance, h ave been painted and decorated with great skill. The columns are now of a bright yellow colour,. slightly tinged with other hues, and the Corinthian capitals are splendidly gilt. The walls, which were before as dark as if the numerous parties invited in former Mayoralties, regaled-themselves, after dinner with pipes of' tobacco, have received the lively brush, - • and correspond with t h e i mprovements elsewhere exhibited. The niches are parti a ll y supp li e d with figure s , copied from the works of Canova and others of the most celebrated masters ; and all the spaces will be occupied in the same manner, as soon as the figures are finished by the artists. That cumbrous, mis shapen, and ridiculous pi ece o f d e f orm i ty, the canopy, which stood at the head of th e h a ll, h as b een removed, and it s pl ace is beautifully occupied by immense mirrors, which, in the blaze ' of the light, give an artificial size to the room, and number to the company, surpassing any effect we have seen in rooms of similar extent. At the opp os i te en d o f t h e Ball are mirrors coecesponding in size. New gas chandeliers have been sus pended from the ceilings, by gilt rods. New windows have been made at each end, formed of ground glass, with stained sustained his cha borders ; and behind those windows were introduced lights, wly;ch contributed to give the Hall a-degree of brilliancy never The .w e h x o er i t l i a o s n s s u s ta of the City Gas were engaged on the occasion.

The company sat down to dinner at seven o'clock.—By an arrangement that the guests should t a k e th e i r seats as they ar rived, the confusion which has generally been occasioned at dinners of the kind, by letting in the whole of the company to I scramble for places, was avoided. After the health of " the King was drank, and the national anthem was sung by some of the first professional singers, under the direction of Mr. Nicholson, The LORD MAYOR proposed the health of the Duke of York. His . Lordship expressed his - regret that his Royal High ness had been prevented by sudden indisposition from honour_ ing them with his company. The toast was drank with en thusiasm. The Lotto Maxon then proposed the health of his Royal Highness the Prince of Saxe-Coburg, whose presence was, he was convinced, a source of great gratification to the whole of his distinguished visitors. Prince LtiziPotn, in returning thanks, begged to assure his Lordship that no one could be more sincere than he was in his wishes for the prosperity of this ancient City ; that no one could be more anxious to have an opportunity of serving it, or feel a higher degree of respect for the distinguished Chief Magistrate who presided at this Grand Civic Fesuval.—(Applause.) The LORD 3/A YOR, in a very complimentary speech, pro.: posed the health of the Lord Primate of all Ireland. His Lord ship expressed much gratification at the presence of that much respected Prelate.' The LORD PutstaTs: briefly returned thanks. Prince LEOPOLD, said, it wa s unnecessary f or hi m to say any thing to th e company; to recommend the toast he was now about to propose. They all knew the estimable qualities of the Lord Mayor, as a private citizen, and his zeal, activity, talent, and integrity, as a Magistrate,and he wasconvinced they would drink his Lordship's health in the warmest manner. This toast was enthusiastically drank. The LoRP .M AY OR, in retu rn i ng thanks, said, that surround ed as he was by some of the most distinguished persons in the realm, in rank, commerce, and the arts, it was impossible that he should not feel highly flattered, by the approbation with which his health had been drank. But, he felt, that the respect that had been paid to him, was rather due to the high office in which he appeared than to the humble individUal who had the honour of filling it. Whether he looked to the past or to the future, however, he felt the very highest gratification at thia nu merous attendance of his fellow citizens. The health of the Duke of Newcastle was next drank. His Lordship, in returning thanks, complimented the city of London audits Chief Magistrate, and proposed the health of the Lady Mayoress. The next toast was the health of the Peers who honoured the Mansion House with their presence. Lord BATIIURST returned thanks. The Bishop of Chester was then drank, who.returned thanks in a neat and appropriate speech. The LORD MAYOR, in proposing the health of Mr. Peel, and those of his Majesty's Ministers who were present, said it was impo ss ibl e t h e country could have enjoyed the blessings of peace. without the exertions which had distinguished the able individuals of whom he spoke. .Although they had been aided by the support of the great body of the Legislature, and by the zml of the people, the merit of bringing the ar duous struggle to a conclusion of the happiest nature, was certainly theirs. Not only was the nation indebted to them for the management of the war,. but for their enlightened and liberal policy in peace, in securing, by wise and liberal com mercial regulations, the prosperity of the country. He felt he was not only spealeng the sentiments of the City of London, but of the country at large, when upon such grounds he pro prosed the toast.—(Applause.) Mr. PEEL, returned thanks on behalf of his colleagues who were present, as well as on behalf of those who were absent, and begged to state, that they were always glad to have an op portunity of testifying their respect for this great Corporation. fhey felt they would be wanting in their duty to their King and their Country, if they did not attend most scrupulously to the interests of the City. Mr. Peel then complimented the Lord Mayor upon the very efficient and distinguished manner in which he performed the duties of his office, and begged to he allowed this opportunity of pr o p os i ng t h e toast o f " Prosperity to the City of London." The healths of the Speaker of the House of Commons, the Judges, the Foreign Ambassadors, &c. &c., were then drank, and the ball company. began to arrive. . Sir Ilumphry Davy, Sir Thomas Lawrence, the Recorder, Sir E. Knatchbull, and Alderman Wood, expressed their thanks in appropriate speeches. A t half-past ten there were about 1500 of the evening com pany assembled, and the dancing commenced, and continued to a late hour. The Duke of York and the Duchess of Gloucester paid visits to the King yesterday. On Tuesday the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge honoured the Italian Opera House with their presence. Yesterday the Duke of Cambridge dined with the Archbishop of York previous to attending the performance of the Sacred Oratorio of the Messiah, at the Hanover-square Rooms. Yesterday, about two o'clock, the Princess Augusta and the Duke of Cambridge walked round St. James's Park. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge accompanied by Prince George and Princess Augusta Amelia of Cambridge, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Princess Sophia, visited the Princess Augusta yesterday. Ilmunn KOH, MAY 31.—His Royal Highness the Prince of Orange arrived at MOSCOW on the this of May, and went to the Kremlin. We understand that a Dinner is to be given to Captain GEORGE WELsT EAD, Commander of the Hon. Com pany's ship General Harris, Commodore of tbe.Season, by the Naval Officers of the Hon. East India Company's Service now at home, at the London Tavern, on Tuesday, the 28th of June, when a piece of Plate is to be presented to him. NEW ENGLAND COFFEE-HOUSE. (From a Nero York Paper of the 18th May.) DELAYS OF JUSTICE.—Thcre is, we perceive, to be another meeting of Members of the Bar this afternoon, in relation to the judiciary system. Dilatory litigation is an oppressive evil in any, but more especially in a commercial country ; it is a kind of palsy to all who are so untbrtunate as to be involved in it. We are persuaded that the community will cheerfully second every effort that is made for the removal of the evil, and cannot but express our own pleasure that such a man as Tiros. Aunts EMMET, who is now at the head of the profession, should take the lead in devising measures to accomplish so desirable an end. Dispatches from the Cape of Good Hope, dated the Gilt of April, mention that Mr. Bresler one of the Members of the Court of Justice, had committed suicide. The Malta Gazette of the 14th o f A pr i l states, that the individuals concerned in the atrocious acts of piracy and robbery on board the Speranxa brig, had all been found guilty, but the Governor had commuted the sentence of death for that of transportation for various periods, in consequence of a recommendation from the jury, on the ground that they had all been blind instruments in the hands of others, rather than the planners of the piracy. One of the prisoners, who com mitted suicide in prison before trial, made a very extraordinary confession, from which it appears that the property in the pira tical vessels which plundered the Speranza, was vested in mer chants of different nations, and that the proceeds were as regu- larly appropriated as those of the most legal un d ertaking. Papers from Halifax to the 4th ult. say, that when the intelligence was received there from England, of the Gottvlernrnent, that intention of the British Government to modify the restrictions on the colonial trade , the Province Building and Exchange Coffee-house were brilliantly illuminated, in testimony of the satisfaction of the inhabitants. specie to the amount of 20000 sf thteonatyhteianl Of April dollars, for British Government bills lately sold in New York, had arrived f it will not, after the 15th of June next, make any advances of money on account of emigrants from America.

U. KELLY, and the very numerous audience that attended is a proof that her talents are admired by . the public and her character respected in private life. She .performed Mrs. Oakley with• morel Sprit that* could be expected, considering that her powers :seem chiefly of the pathetic kind, and these she so successfully exerted as AnnetteOn the afterpiece of The Magpie, or the Maid, as to excite itrte rest and applause. The Comedy 1;-as admirably supported by Mr. C. KEIVIBLE'S Oakley, Mr. JONES'S Lord Trinket, FAwctrOs Sir Harry Beagle, Mrs. GIBB's Lady Freelove, and Miss FOOTE'S Harriet. The Comedy is`so.excellent, and is so well sustained, that we wonder it is not oftener brought forward, amidst the • evtine-seent novelties of the day. •. . ••• AMERICAN PAPERS. New York Papers to the 17th ult. hate been received. They contain accounts from Lima of the Ist of Fe.. bruary. His Majesty's ship Mersey had sailed from Callao for Valparaiso. •The commercial regulations acted on at Lima were similar to those which had been in force for some months previous at Truxillo. Imports, in a citizen's name, were sub. jest to a duty of 30 per cent. ; in a foreigner's, .5 per ceat. ad ditional. General Ronir. still held out in the castle of Callan. Admiral BLANCO was blockading the port -in the frigate O'Higgins. The troops from Guayaquil were expected at Lima, and would, as s o o n as th e y arr i ve d , com me nce the s i ege of Callao in form. Under the date of the 29th ofJanualy, it tat stated that BOLIVAR had decreed- that the army should be paid in preference to any other claimants on the Government, and it was said that 390,000 dollars had been sent from Lima for this purpose. He had also appointed a Jwita de Liqvida elan to receive and examine claims on the Government, and to decree how and when they were to be settled. This letter con firms the rumour Which had previously reached us by. way of Jamaica, of the assassination of lion BEnsrAnno MoktEa- GuDo.

MONTEAGEDOIIIO been Minister of State under the Spanish Government, and con ducted himself in a very tyrannical manner. The same letter also confirms the statement (in the New York Papers) of BoLt van. having received dispatches from OLANETA, in which the latter declared himself in favour of the independent cause. Thus the whole of Upper Peru is freed from the despotism of Spain. Direct advises had been received at Pensacola from Cuba, presenting a lamentable picture of the state of affairs in tha;. island. It is stated that the system of proscription had been extended to females, and every woman who appeared in the streets with any part of her dress of the colours called " of the Constitution," was immediately stripped by the lowest of the rabble, " guided by the monks, who encouraged the popu. lace in the perpetration of these infamies." All.officers in Ha l/nun:di who, five years ago, were active in promoting the Con. stitution, even though they had since been pardoned for. that offence, were under orders for arrest, and it was known that similar orders had been received from Spain respecting private individuals, which, however, were not to be enforced till the military were purged. The philanthropic Bishop of HAVAN-. WAR had been ordered to Madrid ; but, aware of the conse quences if FERDINAND got him there, he feigned sickness, and his popularity in the island rendering it unsafe to use force, the Governor imposed a fine on him of 4,000 dollars for disobe dience, which sum was instantly paid.

The accident was occasioned by the glue-pot boiling over, which caused the shavings to ignite. This fire was placed in the bottom of the building, and so rapid did the flames spread, that a poor boy, who had beenlatt in the care of the fire, was under the necessity .of running to the top of the building to escape. There, however, he was fixed, finding no means of escape, and in this-perilous,situatkln he was seen supplicating for assistance, and after sonic delay he jumped out of the top window, and was seriously The Beacon and West of London fire-office engines were soon on the spot, but the want of water rendered them whop use less for some time.
