HALL'S NEW GENERAL ATLAS. We are happy to perceive' that the first num ber of • this desirable work has just made its appearance, ;n a style which does •no less credit to the skill arid ingenuity of the author, than to the enterprising spirit of its pub lishers. The Engravings are executed with great dearness, and the several boundaries traced with much perspicuity, which will render the present work, when finished, a very superior source of re ference. The first map in this number is France —the second Russia—and the third ilindostan: On the first map we were pleased to see the places where great battles were fought, ac curately marked, with the dates of the memorable events, and the names of the heroes who com manded. This we think a great improvement, as it combines Chronology with Geography.— The science of Geography must, from its nature, be in course of constant improvement; and works of the present kind will be occasionally wanted. — Indeed we think, were a knowledge of Geo graphy more universal, that people would greatly benefit by learning the relative extent and re sources of nations, with many of which they are at present acquainted only by name. Geographi cal information is as necessary to a commercial people as good roads are to:travellers. But the utility of the science is now too generally known to re quire observation. We shall only remark, that this specimen deserves every encouragement; and, if the succeeding numbers will be equally good (of which the respectability of the publishers is a sufficient guarantee), the work must be successful. But the following preface will best explain the pre tensions of the work : With every disposition to acknowledge the respective merits of the various geographical compilations that have appeared of late years, the Proprietors of the present work de not hesitate to declare that they have undettakea it from a full conviction of its necessity. The discoveries of recent voyagers and travellers in every known region of the globe, the nautical surveys and exploratory enter prises instituted by various governments and states, and the important changes made in the demarcation of bounda ries between contiguous territories belonging to different Powers, continue to supply a multitude of data for increas ing our knowledge of the earth and its divisions, natural and political—and are daily.furnishing additions and amend ments for the published records of that knowledge. With these materials the Geographer is enabled to supply the deficiencies and correct the errors of his predecessors ; and thus a new Atlas, like a new Cyclopwdia, may,by due care and diligence, be made to possess all the advantages of its prototypes without their faults, and must for a time claim precedence as the latest compendium of a science which like all others is incessantly, progressive. From these considerations, and from the very natural desire of applying to a useful purpose materials which had been long accumulating, the present undertaking origi nated. In preparing the drawings, the best and most re cent authorities have been consulted ; reference has been had to archives and to private collections not generally ac cessible, and the e mendatory suggestions of experienced travellers, both native and foreig n , have been requested and obtained. The greater numbr of the snaps are in a very advanced state, and are engraved on such a plan as to admit of all the alterations that fresh discoveries may render necessary at any time previous to publication. The work will be completed in Seventeen Parts, each containing Three Maps. A part will be published every month, price half a guinea. The size of each map has been fixedjat.twenty inches by sixteen, those dimensions being found most convenient fur preservation and reference, anti in the chorographical delineations, as well as in the ortkography of the names inserted, the strictest attention to accuracy has been and will be unremittingly bestowed.

DESTRUCTION OE A GREEK STEAMER BY FIRE. --On Monday afternoon, the Irresistible, one of the veesels lately built for the Greeks, and intended to have been sent ant immediately, to Lord COCHRANE, sailed from Limehouse, for the first time, on an experimental trip, as far as the Nore and back again. She proceeded admirably, until, on her return, l ifter Gravesend, she was discovered to have caught fire. IrOtnediately, every possible effort was made by all on board, to ascertain the cause and pre- vent the further action of the conaagration, but unhappily, without success. At nine o'clock la,,t night, the steam. vessel was burnt to the water's edge. Two of the men on board, in their efforts to secure the steam apparatus from explosion, (in which they providentially succeeded) were severely scalded. The vessel was estimated at about 9,0001. On Wednesday a fatal accident occurred on the Queensferry-road to a very respectable and useful mem ber of the College of Justice, Mr. Dow, well known in the Parliament House as a s hort-hand writer. Riding with a friend, his horse took fright somewhere near Blackball. He was seen on the road to the theistnort of th s, a end t vil clinging lage, his horse at full gallop, his f e et out of irrup with his hands to the saddle.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Moniteur.) CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 19.—The visit of the Greek Patriarch to the Porte had been announced on the 17th. On the 18th he went thither in grand procession; having been introduced to the Kiaja Bey, he presented to him 97 acts of submission. of the towns and district of Rumelia, from Prevesa to the Isthmus of Corinth and Thessaly. These acts were signed and sealed by the Pri-, mates, the Capitani, and the elders of the country, who expressed on this their repentance of their re volt, implored the Patriarch's pardon for the excom munications which they had incurred, and declared their firm resolution to live and die henceforth as faithful Rajahs of the Sultan. The Patriarch added, that the principles of the religion which he professed ordered him to pardon, and that he had now only to implore the clemency of the Sublime Porte. The Kiaja Bey, after having read. and verified these several documents, which had been previously translated into Turkish, replied—" The Divine law commands us to spare him who submits. If an in fidel kills the son of a Mussulman, and asks pardon, the father must pardon hirQ, even though he had the lifeless body of his son before his eyes; in the same m anner, following the precepts of our holy religion, the Sublime Potte grants forgiveness to all the Greeks who had laid down their arms. You may announce to them this good news, and increase in all places the renown of the clemency of his Highness !" It has been seen, that in taking this step, the head of the Greek Church had yielded to the demand of the Porte, which desired to have an opportunity to give a proof of its moderation. At the close of his audience, lie had humbly solicited the liberty of three Bishops who were kept, as hostages ; these Prelates were released the following day, as well as the Pri mates of the islands, who were also detained in the residence of the Bostangi Bachi. SEPT. 20.—The Patriarch has despatched two Tartars to Romelia, to announce the pardon ; he has written to the Bishops, and called on them to use their influence to induce their flocks to submit. It is said, that the Porte is going to recall all the exiled Greeks. It is affirmed, that Redschid Pacha is at Thebes, in great danger, surrounded by his Albani ans, who demand their full pay, amounting to 7,000 purses. Atta Effendi, who is still at Larissa, has joined him in representing to the Porte his embarrassing situation. A hatti-sheriff has just been published, by which it is forbidden to engrave on ambas, boats, or on any thing else, the stars and crescents which are the badges of the officers of the new regular troops, in order that these badges may preserve the respect due to them. (From the Gazette de France, dated Monday, Oct. 29.) STUTGARD, OCT. 22.—Their Majesties returned yesterday afternoon .from their excursion to Frank fort, to meet the Queen Dowager of Wurtemburg, who left London on the 9th, arrived on the 14th, after a dangerous voyage to Helvoetsluys, and on the 20th at Frankfort. Her Majesty will be at Monrepo on the 24th. (From the Journal des Defects.) BUCHAREST, OCT. 10.—The Hospodars of the two principalities have received the Sultan's orders to furnish immediately an extraordinary contribution of money, corn, horses, and hides. These requi sitions are so exorbitant, that it is almost impossible to comply with them. In each principality a demand is made for 20,000 lasts of corn, a million of piastres, ten thousand oxen, thirty thousand sheep, six thou sand horses, and many millions of quintals of hides. All this is to be carried, in the space of five weeks, into the fortresses of the Danube. The inhabitants of Walachia and Moldavia have already been almost ruined by the troubles of 1821. The Boyards, who lost large sums by their emigration, endeavoured to recover them from their peasants after their return, and they are farfrom being in a situation to satisfy the de mands of the Porte. All this has excited great dis content, especially in Moldavia, and it is to be feared that the vicinage of the Russian troops may incline the inhabitants to some culpable excesses. (From the Quotidienne.) VIENNA, OCT. 18.—The following is the sub stance of the petition which the primates of 12 in surgent districts of the Greek continent have ad dressed to the Patriarch of Constantinople : " In throwing ourselves at the feet of your Holi ness, and praying the Most High that he may be pleased, for the benefit of the Greek Church and for our salvation, to grant you a long life and all happi ness, we, the undersigned primates of districts, set forth, by the present humble petition, what follows: " Since our country was conquered by the Otto man Emperors, and more particularly during the reign of the present: Sultan, the Greeks have con stantly enjoyed tranquillity, welfare, and complete prosperity, and remained constantly faithful in their duty, as well towards the august Government as the holy church, until the year 1821, when, as a punish ment from Heaven for our manifold sins, the pernici ous spirit of revolution penetrated hither, and carried us away in its train, after having seduced the Capitani of our provinces. It instigated us to raise the standard of rebellion against our legitimate Monarch, and . made us transgress the precepts of our holy religion. " Since that period we have frequently intended to return to our duty, and to repair, by repentance, our unpardonable errors; but dread of our Capitani and their partisans, who came from the Morea and the Archipelago to oppress us, has always prevented us from throwing off the yoke of these rebels; and thus we have remained deprived of the benefits of our Government, and excluded from the faithful flock of which your Holiness is the spiritual guide. But • since his Highness, our august Monarch, sent two years ago his Excellency Redschid-Mahmed-Pacha, Governor of Romelia , Ja nina, Delfino, and Malone, into these countries in the character of Seraskier, where he has, as well by his personal bravery as by the magnanimity of his conduct, subdued the insur gent districts so completely, that the sedition is en tirely extinguished in Romelia, our provinces, repre sented by their primates, have determined, though some more tardily than others, to rely op the inex haustible fountain of the grace of his Highness, our most gracious Sovereign. We have implored am nesty and pardon for our past misdeeds, and have been so fortunate as to have had our prayer granted by his Excellency the Seraskier. Penetrated with the most sincere gratitude, we have addressed to his Excellency our humble thanks, and we pour forth benedictions on our paternal Government. " After the capture of the Acropolis of Athens, and the occupation of the coasts and other positions by the troops of his Excellen c y , — secure of being no longer incommoded by the rebels ceming from the Morea and the isles,. to tyrannize over us,—and in the persuasion that we should be recognized anew by his Royal Highness as faithful subjects, we, fife undersigned deputies from our districts, proceeded to the camp of his Excellency the Seraskier at Thebes, and made known to him the sufferings And the wants of our provinces. We were received gra ciously, and in consequence of the measures adopted in our districts by Mehmed-Redschid Pacha, we no longer doubt that in a little time a still greater state ,of happiness than what we' formerly enjoyed will arise in this country,—a benefit for which we shall be indebted to the good order which his Excellency the Seraskier maintains, and the justice which he exercises there. In order the better to guarantee our submission, as well to his Excellency the Seras kier as to his Highness our august Sovereign, until the period, doubtless not far distant, when the affairs of the More will acquire more consistency, we, the undersigned, have given to his Excellency our families as hostages, and our Capitani will follow our example, " But although this mutual convention guarantees to us the return of our ancient prosperity, our con sciences, nevertheless, unceasingly reproach us for having been averse from the salutary exhortations of our church—a reproach which disturbs oar happi ness and tranquillity. It is thiS which has deter- 'LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 31, 1827, Mr. SHADWELL is appointed to succeed Sir ANTHONY HART as Vice-Chancellor. The Paris Papers of Sunday, and the Gazette de France dated Monday morning, which were received last night, add but little to the intelli gence we published yesterday from Constan tinople to the 2d instant inclusive, which had reached us through the German Papers. An article in the Journal des Debats, dated • charest, October 10, states that the Hospodars of the two Principalities have received orders from the SULTAN, to furnish immediately an extraordinary contribution of money, corn, horses, and hides. These requisitions are described to be so exorbitant, that it is almost impossible to comply with them. In each Principality the demand amounts to 20,000 lasts of corn, a million of piastres, 10,000 oxen, 30,000 sheep, 6,000 horses, and many millions of quintals of hides ; and the whole of the requisition is to be carried in the space of five weeks into the for tresses of the Danube. The measures resorted to for complying with the demands are said to have produced great discontent, particularly in Moldavia. If any further proofs were wanting of the determination of the PORTE to a vigorous resistance, it would be furnished by these pre parations which are making on the northern frontier of the empire ; and when such prepara tions for hostilities were going on, it is not sur prising that the SULTAN should temporize and procrastinate the negotiations which were carry ing on in his Capital. The Moniteur of Sunday contains, from the Austrian Observer, a petition addressed by twelve Primates of districts in Romelia to the Patriarch at Constan tinople, soliciting absolution for having rebelled against the PORTE, and expressing gratitude for the pardon which they had received from the Seraskier. The Capitani had not joined in the petition, but the Patriarch is said subse quently to have presented to the Kiaja Bey 97 acts of submission by Capitani and Primates. The whole is considered a contrivance to afford the PORTE an opportunity of making a display of moderation. The intelligence from the interior of Greece is unfavourable to the Turkish arms. REDSCIIID PACHA is said to be at I Thebes, in great' danger, and surrounded by mined us to address to your Holiness our earnest prayer that you would be pleased to grant us absolu tion for our disobedience, and receive us anew in the number of children of the church as faithful subjects of his Highness. Deign, if it seem proper to you, to present on this occasion to our very gracious Mo narch the assurance of our sentiments of fidelity and 'submission to his sublime sceptre. This is the favour which we supplicate of your Excellency by the pre sent humble request, until the general petition of our Capitani shall reach your Holiness. " We conclude with beseeching your Holiness to give us your holy benediction. (Signed) " The Primates of Trikala, Valtos, Karparissi, Agrapha, Ladoriki, Kravari, Satradschik, Salon', Apo con), Arrnyros, Malandrini, Goura." FROM THE FRONTIERS OF CATALONIA, OCT. 21. —There remain at present very few Chiefs in Ca talonia who have not submitted. The severe mea sures adopted by his Majesty, and the devotion of the royal troops, who are directed upon every point of the province, give us reason to expect a s peedy pacification. The brother-in-law of Bessieres made his escape on the night of the 17th, from the prison ofPuycerda. It appeared that his escape was aided, and lie took the route of France by way of Aix. Jeps del Estangs is in the neighbourhood of Baga with a few miserable insurgents; he will be forced in a few days to lay down his arms. We have been assured that a very strong division of the Royal troops is coming by way of Ourdagna, and there are already two hundred Cavalry stationed at Belver and Montailla, and they are obgerved by one hun dred and fifty Miquelets from ~tidagne. It is to be presumed that Bozom will not again venture to repass our frontier. They are preparing at Barcelona, for the resi dence of the King and the Royal Family, a chateau, within two gun-shots of the town. His Majesty, it is said, will pass a part of the approaching winter there. __ _ _ _ On the occasion of the anniversary of his birth, the King granted at Tarragona a large pay extraor dinary to the sub-officers and soldiers of his troops.

The British and French Admirals, however, are said to have insisted that Lord COCHRANE and Colonel FABVIER should sus pend any operations against the posts in the hands of the Turks during the existence of the Armistice. It is stated in a letter from Riga of the 14th inst. that the Emperor NICHOLAS was on his way to Odessa, and .from thence to the head quarters of the Army. The accounts from Spain are unimportant. Extracts of these papers are given in another column. It will be seen by the Order in Council, pub lished in last night's Gazette, and inserted in another column, that a slight mo dification has been made in the regulations excluding vessels belonging to the United States from the British Colonies, by permitting vessels of that country to enter the ports of the Bahama Islands in bal last, and to export from thence•salt and fruit. The United States are already suffering much from the policy their Government adopted, which led his MAJESTY'S Ministers to exclude these vessels from the West India Colonies, with which they had so long carried on an exten sive and lucrative trade ; and we have no doubt they would gladly retrace their steps if our Government would now make the concessions which they originally offered. The trade, how ever, of our Islands is now getting into other channels, and the inconvenience at first occa sioned, by the cessation of direct intercourse with the United States, in a great degree removed ; and therefore there is every reason to believe that our Government will not relax in the restrictive regulations, except in those cases, like the pre sent, in which it may be for the special advan tage of some local interest of our own Colonies to do so. Private accounts from Paris state, in positive terms, that the Chambers are to be dissolved on the sth of November, and that it is expected the elections will be finished by the 15th, and the Chambers meet again on the 15th December. The following is an extract from the Calcutta John Bull Paper of the 2d of April The David Malcolm has arrived from Rangoon, bringing round the expected Ambassadors from his Majesty the King of AVA. The main object which these Ambas,ssadors have in view is to obtain from the British Government a prolongation of the period at which the next instalment under the treaty of Melloon is due, on the alleged ground that the treasury of the King of AVA is too poor to disburse anything at present.—Our letters refer to an attempt on the part of an Armenian, well-known at Rangoon, to make a bargain with the Court of Ava, by which, on promise of his interest with Sir A. CAMPBELL, to procure delay in the payment of the instalment due, this Armenian was to enjoy a mono poly of trade of various articles at the port of Rangoon. This intrigue, which the Armenian had carried on at the Court of Ava personally, had come to the knowledge of Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL, who had taken the most effective means to defeat it. It is also said that the Burman Treasury is sufficiently able to make good the money due under the Treaty." There is a silly gentleman, named FRENCH, going about town, whose 'eccentricities of mind have lately taken a very deplorable turn, namely, a cucoethes loquendi. Under the influence of this malady, he has ventured to attack every thing decent and respectable in his country's institutions; has discovered that Mr. CANNING was Anti-Catholic at heart, and that Mr. COB ! BETT—the polite, insinuating, classical, anti all- accomplished Mr. COBBETT—is among the best friends that the Papists ever had. But this is not all ; he has even ventured to put the two in direct contrast to each other.— COBBETT versus CANNING, is the cause which the Counsellor (for we have reason to believe that Mr. FRENCH practises at the Bar) pleads before the Catholic Association, and we need scarcely add, that he takes good care that the Plaintiff shall not be nonsuited. We are really at a loss what terms to employ in speaking of such manifest absurdity : to think that, in the Nineteenth Century, when the universal " march of mind" must, we should conceive, have de scended even to Mr. FRENCH'S level, a person should be found silly, mad, or mischievous enough to question, not merely the Catholie sincerity of Mr. CANNING, but the detestable apostacy of Mr. CoBBETT,—to think, we repeat, that at such an enlightened period so peculiar a nondescript should exist, affords a melancholy proof that there is no sounding the depths of human folly. Mr. FRENCH, we hear, is a scholar ; he may perhaps remem ber a striking passage in RABELAIS' Voyage to the Holy Bottle, wherein he observes that there is a certain class of politicians who seem so in curably smitten with self-love that should they ever be discovered, like NARCISSUS, by the banks of river, pond, or lake, it would be a debt owing to the public for the nearest byestauder to push them into it. Let Mr, French take the hint. " Mutato nomine"—he knows the rest. On Thursday the Rev. DAVID DAVIDSON was unanimously elected Minister of the Chapel of Ease at Broughty Ferry.- . Caledonian Mercury.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TWELIS o'CLoar The gloom which has been oast over the British Funds within these last few days has not been dis pelled, and many of those persons whose connections are in the habit of giving them early information of the movements in the Turkish capital, from a san guine expectation of every obstacle being likely to be overcome, are now induced to think differently on the subject, and since the receipt of their last letters have formed anticipations of a most unfavour able character. In this state of affairs the English Funds naturally wear a heavy appearance, to which the reported disagreement between the British and Russian Ambassador, and the equivocal conduct of Austria, has added considerably. Consols opened for account at 874, buyers, became sellers, but have since recovered to the opening price, and 874 4! for money, with little business; there seems a disposition in the speculators to wait for the French prices of the Rentes, and to ascertain what effect the fall has had on them when the account of the decline of Saturday in our. Funds' arrives. There is not the least variation in India Bonds or Exchequer Bills, the former remaining at 97 9, and the latter 62 3 pm. This being settling-day in the Foreign Funds, the chief attention of the brokers and dealers has been paid to the adjustment of accounts. Mexican Bonds are, however, heavy at 534 54; Brazilian are also a trifle lower, 6114; the same observation applies also to Russian, which are 934 4. The other Foreign Funds remain at yesterday's price.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(TVIS COURT OF KING'S BENCH. Before Lord TENTERDEN and a Special Jury. xis ROYAL lIIGUNKSS THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE V. Fl fbe The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opened the case. 0 action was brought by his Royal Highness the Of Cambridge, to recover the sum of about 311e'. which was overpaid to the defendant, who is l', or maker, residing at Ipswich. The Duke of ot bridge, during the late war, was Colonel °L, German Legion, and it was his duty as one t' provide for the supply of the regiment in Cl°°.y This duty he delegated to a Mr. Mackenzie, '4itl employed the defendant to supply the regi m ent ' c oy shoes. His Royal Highness was peculiarly Linf°tei nate in pecuniary matters, for his regiment, ow. of being a source of profit, was attended with t il e to him of many thousand pounds. The Attv o General was about to enter into a particular de of the accounts, when he was interrupted by osi. LORD TENTERDEN, who suggested that es fr i question was merely one of account, it sho uld° ferred to some gentleman of the bar. .„ bJ His Lordship's suggestion was acquiesced the Counsel on both sides, and the case I "' cordingly referred. BRAZIER V. JONES. f This was an action against the Marshal "411. King's Bench Prison, to recover the sum o', ot ilf lOs. 5d., the amount of a debt due to the 13`1,-,tri by a person named Briant, who had been st r e ri 4 by the plaintiff under an attachment,.find de, ! . . d " to to the custody of the Marshal, but was suffer - 0 escape. It appeared that Briant had obtain o . l o l l rule, and went into Sussex, where he was 1 0 " or Manor, to hold a Court, and after it was ovet„'110 pared to return, but being seized with illness c" road, remained out all night, but returned ir it° l ,6 custody of the Marshal by eleven o'clock th e morning. The ATTORNEY GENERAL, w h o stat ed th e for the plaintiff, insisted, that according to th e t of the day rule which Briant had obtained, he,,,v bound to have returned by nine o' cl ock at 170 and failing in this particular his ab s e nce ines considered an escape. ' el Mr. GURNEY on behalf of the defendant, d 00 tended, that as Mr. Briant was in custody utieoci attachment, and not under an execution, his eusid, could not be considered an escape, unless the . ip t should be of opinion that the plaintiff had susfr ti any real damage. It was impossible, however, ; Iv the plaintiff could have sustained any darog e „1 4 Mr. Briant was only absent one night, and re ivy next morning to prison, where he had since r 0 ed. So anxious was the plaintiff, h o wevert.`o o the Marshal, that he called at I 1 o'clock at o .l ' y the clerk's office, to file his declaration, e n ' s itie an additional fee for having it entered at usual hour. Under those circumstances, he s, ted that nominal damages were all the r t ‘ was entitled to, having suffered no real injori c ' e , was enough for the Marshal to pay the expe n d VI the action, which he must do, though he ha Do e guilty of no dereliction of his duty, for he wae . tit' to grant the prisoners a day - rule under cell' ' cumstances. jot Lord TENTERDEN summed up, and the de after a few minutes' consultation, returned s for the plaintiff—Damages, One Farthing. • 'G 8 °~ BAIL COURT.
