They have aided them in becoming a nation ; for their cause is gained. Good men of all parties a ll countries are anxious for the deliverance of th e G reeks. Monarchs take an interest in their des tiny, and one Monarch has already openly de clared himself their protector. The noble King of Bavaria has subscribed out of his privy purse more than 10 0,000 f. But he has done still more in per mitting his officers to retain their pay, rank, and unif orm, while serving in Greece. In Prussia, Saxony, Wurtemberg, and Holland, the Govern ments encourage the subscriptions. In France they are tolerated; but the zeal and charity of the French ladi es h ave prompted them to solicit subscriptions, an d men of the highest distinction and rank are at the head o f whatever is done for this cause. In Switzerland, the whole people in mass, the rich and the p oor, the women and' the children, all come forward with their offerngs. The crusade of cha rity has p rocure d numerous supplies, which have been forwarded. The cause of Greece is gained ! for none but a f ew ignorant fanatics can wish that a Christian People should return to slavery, and be exposed to apostasy, violation, and massacre. The cause of Greece is gained ; for the time is arrived when the vise and enlightened policy of your Government is .shout to decide the questioi, of hu manity in concert with the other Powers. Let us hop e that a prompt decision will nrevent fresh disasters; bit let us, at the same time, learn to await, without too much impatience, an arrange ment which may yet have to encounter considerable difficult:es. We must rely on the wisdom of your Ministers, and feel assured that they are sincerely desirous of the complete independence of Greece, under the protection of all the Powers.

" CoNs'rAsirfNorLE, MAY 11.—The ne go ti a ti ons oi the European Ministers are no more advanced than they Were before. The Ambassadors of England, Russia, and Free, having met since the mistake of the 20th of April, agreed on the sth of this month to make a new application to the Reis Effendi, and to ask him whether the Porte Would give a declaration in answer to the proposals of the allied Courts. It is said that Perten Effendi replied tt - ith Warmth, and in general terms, to the Dragomans of the three powers, that the Porte would not accept such pro- Posals, and that it would make no answer.

We know not whether the ATTORNEY- GENERAL will consider himself bound to insti tute proceedings against Lord KENYON for a misdemeanour, in having published the letters of the late KING, addressed to his Lordship's father in his capacity of a Privy Councillor ; but we have no hesitation in saying, that it appears to us a gross breach of privilege in any Peer of this realm to ransack the repositories of a Privy Councillor, whose heir he may happen to be, and divulge to the world those confidential coin- munications which the solemnity of an oath had in vain endeavoured to guard from such a fate. But thr considerations seem to have little weight with Lord KENYON. who, to answer his own private views and those of his Orange friends on . the subject of Catholic Emancipation, has presumed to violate the archives of his Noble relative, and to publish those letters of the late KING'S, which will be found in another part of our Paper. To their publication we, as warm friends to the Catholic Question, can have no possible objection, and they are, no doubt, very interesting, as displaying the con-, scientious anxiety of a great Monarch to dis charge the duties of his high station. But no fresh discoveries can possibly increase our affection and esteem for the memory of King GEORGE the THIRD, who will always figure in the history of the world, as the most amiable and most virtuous of Princes—though at the same time it would be the part of slaves, and not of subjects, to surrender, or rather pretend to surrender, our honest opinion to that of any created being. Our idea, therefore, of the utter fallacy of the construction put on the Corona tion Oath, must continue unaltered, and indeed we had hoped that the surrender of that point by Lord LIVERPOOL had been almost univer sally adopted by the admirers of that most esti mable Nobleman. But we want words to express our satisfaction at the blow given by the present publication to the Orange Clubs throughout the Kingdom, falsely styling themselves the disciples of the Right Hon. Wm. PITT. Will they have the presumption, after this, to identify themselves with that illustrious Statesman, whose Letters, published (treacherously to his cause, we would almost say), by the Orange Doctor PIuLPOT rs, prove beyond the power of contradiction what were the sentiments of his mind on the Catholic Question. All the world knew before that Mr. PITT left office, because the Catholic Claims were not granted, and it was insulting to common sense and to every right feeling, to hear the Orangemen utter their pitiful quibbles on the subject, and endea vour to explain away what was always as clear as the noon day. Mr. PITT, they said, looked to securities (by which they always mean abjuring Popery) ; but what is the fact ? In his letter to the KING, of the 31st January, 1801, he says— " That the admission of the Catholics and Dissenters to offices, and of the Catholics to Parliament (from which latter the Dissenters are now excluded), would, under cer tain conditions to be erecified, lie highly advisable, with a view to the tranquillity and improvement of Ireland, and to the general interest of the United Kingdom. " For himself, he is, on full consideration, con vinced that the measure would be attended with no danger to the Established Church, or to the Protes tant interest in Great Britain or Ireland :—that now the Union has taken place, and with the new pro visions which would make part of the plan ; it could never give any such weight in office, or in Parliament, either to Catholics or Dissenters, as could give them any new means (if they were so disposed) of attacking the Establishment : that the grounds on which the laws of exclusion now re maining were founded, have long been narrowed, and are since the Union removed ;—that those principles, for merly held by the Catholics, which made them be consi dered as politically dangerous, have been for a course of time gradually declining, and, among the higher or ders particularly, they have ceased to prevail :—.that the obnoxious tenets are disclaimed in the most positive man ner by the oaths which have been required in Great Bri tain, and still more by one of those required in Ireland, as the condition of the indulgences already granted, and which might equally be made the condition of any new ones : that if such an Oath, containing (among other provisions) a denial of the power of Absolution from its obligations, is not a security from Catholics, the sacramental test is not snore so : That the political circumstances under winch the exclusive laws originated, arising either from the conflicting power of hostile and nearly balanced sects, from the apprehension of a Popish Queen or Successor, a disputed succession and a foreign Pretender, and a division in Europe between Catholic and Protestant Powers, are no longer applicable to the present state of things. That with respect to those of the Di.7:enters, who, it is feared, entertain principles dangerous to the Constitution, a distinct political test, pointed against the doctrine of modern Jacobinism, would be a much more just and more effectual security, than that which now exists, which may operate to the exclusion of conscientious persons well affected to the State, and is no guard against those of an opposite description : That with respect to the Catholics of Ireland another most important additional security, and one of which the effect would continually increase, might be provided, by gradually attaching the Popish Clergy to the Government, and, for this purpose, making them dependant for a part of their provi sion (under proper regulations) on the State, and by also subjecting them to superintendance and controul :--That, besides these provisions, the general interests of the Estab lished Church, and the security of the Constitution and Go vernment, might be effectually strengthened by requiring the Political Test before referred to, from the Preachers of all Catholic or Dissenting Congregations, and from the Teachers of Schools of every denomination. " It is on these principles Mr. Pitt humbly conceives a new security might be obtained for the Civil and Eccle siastical Constitution of this country, more applicable to the present circumstances, more free from objection, and snore effectual in itself, than any which now exists ; and which would, at the same time, admit of extending such indulgences, as must conciliate the higher orders of the Catholics, and by furnishing to a large class of your Ma jesty's Irish subjects a proof of the good-will of the United Parliament, afford the best chance of giving full effect to the great object of the Union—that of tranquil lizing Ireland, and attaching it to this country." Does this resemble their ideas of securities, or arc they not the exact sentiments of the Eman cipationists of the present day, whom these Orangemen denounce as radicals and dangerous men. But we trust we shall never again hear of Mr. PITT'S being an enemy of the Catholic Claims. Let Orangemen retain their conscientious scruples if they will, but do not let them shelter themselves under the authority of that Illustrious Statesman whose opinions were diametrically op posite to their own, and that not on any minorpoint, but upon the great Question which divides the political parties of the Empire. The Earl of ELDON may now have his mind enlightened respecting Mr. PITT'S ideas of Securities, which the Noble Earl pathetically complained at the late dinner of the Pitt Club, he had never been able accurately to comprehend. But none are so dull as those who will not understand, and it is not impossible that his Lordship and others of the craft will still continue to at tend dinners of the Pitt Club ; and though the withholders of the civil rights of one third of their countrymen, and the staunch supporters of abuse, persist in claiming as their Tutelary Saint, that distinguished individual, the first impulse of whose generous wind led him even to advocate Reform in Par liament, till convinced of its being an unat tainable blessing, and who 'continued, to the last moment of his existence, the sincere, firm, and eloquent friend of Catholic Emancipation. The Paris Papers of Saturday, and the Etoile. dated Sunday morning, reached ,-s last night, but they contain no political intelligence, except an article from the Augsburgh Gazette relative tc, he state of the negotiations with the Porte. The conduct of the REIS EFFENDI seems to encourage but few hopes that the Turkish Go vernment will be induced to consent to any mea sure which has for its object the independence of Greece,' though the last communication, made to Mr. STRATFORD CANNING by the REIS EFFENDI, is said to have been of a milder cha racter. A very few days must decide the ques tion whether the DIVAN will consent to submit to the declared wish of all the principal powers of Europe, or by a blind infatuation risk the overthrow of the Empire by the united vengeance of all Christendom. We have long been con vinced, and expressed our conviction, that if once the sword is really unsheathed against the Turks, the Ottoman Empire in Europe will be annihi lated for ever. Extracts will be found in another column, and we subjoin Saturday's price of the Funds.

Mr. HuME abandoned last night the opposi tion which he had intended to make to the vote of credit for 500,0001. on account of the expenses of the Army in Portugal. The propriety of arming the Executive with a power to maintain our Forces in Portugal, or to increase their num ber in case of any absolute necessity for such a measure, is so obvious that we are not surprised the Hon. Member should feel it useless to resist the sense of the House, as well as the common sense of this question. The sum will not be expended because it is voted, unless such a ne cessity should arise as would oblige Ministers to increase the expences of the expedition, and in that case they will be responsible to Parlia ment for incurring the responsibility of extra ex penditure. While, however, Parliament places at the dis posal of Government this additional sum, the Government are anxiously waiting to avail them selves of every opportunity which may present itself, for the curtailment of expense in all the departments. The work of retrenchment is not to be postponed till the Finance Committee commences its labours, for Mr. CANNING dis tinctly stated last night, that, as soon as the Go vernment bad it. in their power to turn their minds to the subject, every possible reduction should be made. Thus it is, that the Government will retain, as it well deserves, the confidence of the. country. If the state of public affairs is such as to authorize the Ministers to reduce expellee, they will apply themselves seriously to that object, while, on the other hand, if events should require further exer tions on our part, they will be prepared to act with energy and decision, on their own respon sibility. .

The Loan CHANCELLOR sat to day in Lincoln's-inn Hall. EXPARTE LEIGH IN THE MATTER OF CLAWTON, A BANKRUPT. Mr. Suc - aEN moved that this matter might be ordered to stand in the paper for Saturday. It was of great im portance that the matter should be heard without delay, from this circumstance, that property to the amount of 120,0001. ws depending, that a sale of property to that amount had actually been made under the Commission, with the sanction of the bankrupt, who had since disputed the validity of the Commission, and circulated placards, giving notice to the public not to purchase. Mr. MONTAGU was on - the same side. The bankrupt Lad stated that he had commenced an action to try the validity of his Commission, which he certainly had done, but had proceeded no further though he had had ample time. Mr. TRESLOVE opposed the application. He had heard nothing from affidavit, but a mere statement at the bar, which he entirely contradicted. He submitted the Court could take no notice of such a statement, and that if it were to advance the hearing of the matter, the gentlemen applying for the advancement were bound to show a case for it upon affidavit. His LORDSHIP--It is not suggested, Mr. Treslove, that you are not prepared. Mr. Taxsr.ovE—No, any Lord, but -1119 LORDSHIP-Then we will hear it on Saturday. Mr. TREsLovE--But, my Lord— His Loaosutr--We will hear it on Saturday—we can' hear it twice. IN THE AIATTER OF BURGESS, A BANKRUPT. Mr. SUGMEN stated, that he had another application of a similar kind. An attorney, who bad been touched with the tender passion, wished to get hold of a lady for his wife who had some fortune. She was the sister of Mr. Bur gess. Mr. Burgess did not approve of the proposal, and therefore forbade further advances. This so mortified the suitor, that he became a suitor of another kind, by suing out a commission against. Mr. Burgess. Mr. B. now pro posed to give security for the payment of every farthing that might be found, due to the attorney from him, swore that he was perfectly solvent, and prayed to haie his ap plication to supersede the commission heard on Saturday. Application granted. HABEAS CORPUS. IN THE MATTER. OF WILLIAM ATKINSON, A BANKRUPT. Mr. ROSE said, he had obtained, on the last day of sit ting, a writ of Habeas Corpus, to bring up the body of the bankrupt, returnable on this day; that Atkinson was now in Court ; therefore, he moved that the return should be read. He did not wish to occupy time in having it read over, but be considered he should have no difficulty in showing, upon one point, that the committal could not stand. • _ _ Mr. Tvvlss was on the other side, and he did not press to have the return read. Mr. ROSE then admitted it to be read pro ,forma. The point on which he submitted the commitment could not be supported was, that the Commissioners, in their examina tion, had proceeded throughout upon a written document, as the foundation of their examination, which had been written by the bankrupt, purporting to contain a full dis closure of all his affairs, and which document had neither been incorporated in, nor appended to the commitment. Mr. Twiss contended that the examination was through out most prevaricating and unsatisfactory ; that many of the questions and answers were totally unconnected with the document that had been referred to, and that if even they were not, the document was now in Court, to which, under the Act of Parliament, his Lordship could refer if necessary ; but he submitted that that was neither neces sary, nor was the bankrupt entitled to claim the advantage of the formal defect, if defect there was. His Lounsmr said, that many of the passages in the examination, which had been read by Mr. Twiss, had n o reference whatever to the document, the absence of which had been complained of, and the answers of the bankrupt in those passages were most unsatisfactory to his (his Lord ship's) mind, as well as they had been to the minds of the Commissioners, therefore he felt bound to send back the bankrupt to prison iu Yorkshire, until he was prepared to give more satisfactory answers to the questions that had been put to him. THE LATE MR. FAUNTLEROY, IN THE MATTER OF MARSH, STRACET AND CO. BANK RUFUS. ' Mr. HostNx was instructed to apply for leave to have a petition in this matter heard on Saturday sennight. The petition was for further directions after an action directed by this Court had been tried by law, respecting circum stances arising out _of the misconduct of the late Henry Fauntleroy. His LORDSHIP said the rule that had been laid down was, that no bankruptcy should be taken on Saturdays, except what pressed very much for a decision. Mr. HORNE knew this matter to be of great importance. The disposal of questions respecting very large sums of money between the Bank of England and the body of cre ditors under this bankruptcy depended upon it, as well as the payment of dividends. His Lorsnsnsr could not see that the largeness of the amount could have any effect whatever in entitling the ease to precedence. He wished Mr. Horne to consider the matter a little snore, and if afterwards he would pledge himself to the Court that when the matter came on it would appear to be of a most pressing nature for decision, it should he in the paper as required, but not otherwise. DEACON V. DEACON. The Court was again occupied in hearing this par heard motion. VIOE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. This was the second Sea .refure Trinity Term. REED V. DINDE. The bill filc.l in this case sought to compel the defen dant, Major Hindc, to bring into effect an agreement, by which he engaged to convey to the plaintiff a moiety of a certain real estate, as a security for a large sum of money lent to him by the plaintiff on post obit bonds ; and the bill prayed that a receiver might be in the mean time ap pointed to that portion of the estate; and that the defen dant be restrained, by the injunction of the Court, from receiving the rents and profits, or from committing waste. Mr. SUGOEN, in support of the application, said, that the post obit bonds were payable after the death of the de fendant's eldest brother, a lunatic, and the defendant under took to levy a fine and suffer a recovery on his share of the estate, for the purpose of securing to the plaintiff the sum borrowed from him. The plaintiff was unable to proceed at law for the enforcement of the agreement in consequence of an outstanding term affecting the estate, and therefore was obliged to have recourse to a Court of Equity. Mr. TIDMARSH followed on the same side. Mr. Uzi% Ln, for the defendant, said, that as the debt ori ginated in post obit bonds the plaintiff was entitled only to the sum actually lent (30001.) with the interest on it since the time of its being lent. The defendant was ready to do this, and only required that the matter might stand over until a petition of his, now before the Lord Chancellor, praying to be allowed to take certain funds, originally belonging to the lunatic, out of Court was heard. This petition would, in all probability, come on to-morrow. The Learned Gentleman said, that the very fact of there being post-obit bonds in the transaction ought to be enough to disentitle the plaintiff to any favour from the Court. Mr. Cos followed on the same side. The VICE-CHANCELLOR could not agree in the observa tion that post obit bonds were held in so unfavourable a light by the Court, as that it should baffle the holder of them when he applied for the enforcement of his rights.— The Court was in the habit, when it saw that the security was outrageously disproportionate to the sum ac tually advanced, of granting relief to the borrower, by restraining the leuder from interfering with hie perion, until the hearing of the cause ; but his Honour never knew a Court of Equity to go further, and say that it would also discharge the borrower's estate from all liability, merely on his allegation-that the transaction originated in post obit bonds, accompanied with an offer to pay the sum actually advanced. At present the Court had nothing to do with the favour or disfavour of such a class of transac tions, but was bound to take care that the estate should be secured, and with this view, his Honour directed tho ap pointment of the Receiver. Mr. SUGDIN—I hope your Honour will also grant the injunction. The defendant has already cut down timber on the estate, and damaged it to the extent of 4,000/. The VICZ-CHANCELLOR also granted the injunction. In the course of the morning Mr. Witaaanasi. informed the Court, that there was a Lady now in Court, in custody, under an attachment, for not paying a sum of money, in oursuance of an order of the Court. The Learned Gentle man moved that she be committed to the Fleet prison. . The prisoner, a very old lady of respectable appearance, was then brought forward. The Vicz-CHANCELLOR—Pray, why don't you pay this money ? The Prisoner—l shall have nothing to support me if I pay it. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—I have no discretion—you must either pay it or go to prison. Let me advise you to pay it. Prisoner—l can't—it is ix my attorney's hands. What then am Ito do? The VICE-CHANCELLOR, after expressing his regret that a lady of her age and appearance should be sent to a prison, directed her to be removed. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. COE V. HAILES AND ALCOBIB.

The LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE sat at Guildhall,bnt nothing of public interest occurred previous to our going to Press. ADMIRALTY COURT.. PIRATICAL FELUCCA. This was a claim for head-money. It appeared from the affidavits read by the Lord Advocate, that his Majesty's ship Icarus was lying off the Isle of Pines, a small island near Cuba, on the 14th Feb., 1824, when information was received that a . piratical felucca was lying off the island. Capt. Graham, of the Icarus, immediately despatched his boat's crew, under the command of Lieut. Linton, who came up with the felucca near the mouth of the river Santa Fe, when she suddenly opened a dreadful fiie on the boat's crew, which killed a midshipman and three men and wounded two others. The pirates then took possession of one of the boats' and murdered Lieut. Linton. The other boat escaped to the Icarus, and Capt. Glaham having been informed of what had occurred, gave notice to the Admiral commanding on the Jamaica station, and the Hussar was sent to the assistance of the Icarus, with orders to destroy the pirates. The two ships having landed their spare men on the Island of Pines, by hunting and following the pirates through the caverns and recesses of the Island, succeeded in killing five, and taking 14 pri soners, who were afterwards sent to Jamaica and executed. Only ten of the pirates escaped, and the felucca which they had run ashore, was got under weigh, and given as remu neration to a person who had acted as pilot to the Englisl. vessels. The Court granted head-money for 19 men killed and captured, and ten who escaped. THE MALTA. Our readers will recollect, that Thomas Young, the master of the Malta, was tried some time since at the Old Bailey for slave-dealing, and acquitted. The principal witness against Young was Walker, the mate of the vessel, who instituted a suit in this Court against the owners for wages, which was opposed on the ground that the appli cant and others of the crew had conducted themselves mutinously on the voyage. The ship and cargo were seized and declared forfeited at Sierra Leone, and applica tion was now made to step proceedings in the suit until the log-book and other documents were brought from Sierra Leone, as it was alleged these would support the defence set up by the owners. Dr. LUSHINGTON was heard against the application, and Dr. JENNER for the owners of the Malta. The COURT ordered the case to stand over to the end of the present term. IN THE MATTER OF GRACE, A FEMALE SLAVE. This was an appeal from the Court of Antigua. A female slave, named Grace, was brought to England in 1810, in a domestic capacity, and exported from England to Antigua sometime afterwards, and upon her arrival re turned into a state of slavery. She was claimed by the Officers of the Customs in Antigua, as forfeited to the Crown, having been imported into the island, illegally, and against the provisions of the Slave Consolidation Act. The case involved a question of great importance to slave dealers. The further arguments were postponed, under the sug. gestion of the Court. LAW SITTINGS.

Three out of the five arches are completed, and the other two are far advanced. The approaches on either side are also com plete, and the noble proprietor is building a handsome inn near the bridge on the Saltram side. The Celerity new coach runs daily over the new line of road to Totness, cross ing the Lara in tke Flying Bridge.

Several other noblemen, who lately held offices under the Crown, were expected to have attended, but it is un derstood did not do so, under the apprehension that it might be considered a party dinner. A splendid portrait of his Royal Highness the late Duke of York was exhibited in the ball yesterday, exquisitely finished by Sir Thcm:.i Lawrence. The price of the pic ture is 800 guineas, exclusive of *he frame, which, it is said, will cost 30 guineas more. FASHIONABLE ♦ND MISCELLANEOUS.
