With "'this view, and -under the impression that it was the intention of •the British GovernMentto abolish all Quarantine `regulations, they have Lbn*ll[4la fit to subject yes !leis arriving from England to longer Quaran• `tine than heretofOr t e, the injurious consequences of which, in a commercial point of view, it is hardly necessarytopoint out.' We trust, however, Itintt when the subject is fully explained they will remove these new restrictions. The abject of the present Bill is not the abolishment of the system but s i mp l y. ft consolidation of .the ,present laws, { hem with such amen d m ents as may render 'nem less burdensome to commerce, by reducing tile number of days hitherto -devoted to quarantine. Whateve r opinions may be abroad as to the doc trine of contagion, and even admitting that of Ila Ncontagion w as b e tter established than it is, ' st ill whilst a doubt on the point remains the pre cautionary system of Quarantine ought not to be a .bandon e d.

Innattrit PACHA landed 5,000 men at Coron towards the beginning of March. This corps was provided with every thing necessary to reduce the fortresses in the Mores; but finding, that his force was insucient; he sent to Crete for reinforce ments, and having assembled an army of 12,000 men, he quitted the shores of Messina, and advanced to the walls of Neocastron, continually harassed by the Greek corps, which were then assembling to fight a decisive battle. On the 22d of the same month he laid siege to Navarino, which had a very small garrison ; but Col. Coliopoulos, making his way through the Egyptian camp, entered the place, encouraged thegarrison, and maintained himself till the arrival of two corps of Arcadians and Maniottes, who drove the enemy back into his entrench ments, after killing 1500 of his men. Then Ibrahim Paella, with a small number of his troops, threw himself into Coron, where, without hope of succour, and surrounded by enemies, he thought flt to revenge himself .by causini , the hands and the ears of the . European o ff icers to b e cu t off, as if thq had betrayed the confidence which he had placed in them to de stroy the dominion of the Cross. ,It is affirmed that the num ber of French, Italian, Genoese, and German officers who were in this expedition under the banners of the son of the Satrap of Egypt, amounted to above 1000. • The horrible mutilation which - these men have just Under , gone, as the reward of the services which they had rendered to the cause of despotism, makes it ourtluty to give publicity to this shameful affair, in the hope of preventing further misfor tunes. . • CORFU, MAY 2. Letters from Missolonghi and Prevesa, which have arrived here in a few days, announce, that all the Turkish corps which had penetrated into Arcarnania have been completely destroyed on several points. General Karaiscaki, in the district of Volos, and Generals Nods Bozzaris, Zongos, and Stournaris in Pa laiocatouna, have displayed all the energy and courage that the circumstances required. -The particulars of the combats, which were fought almost at• the same time, are not yet known. It is affirmed, however, that the losses of the enemy are incal culable. Redschid Pacha, who Was encamped at Karvessara with 12,000 men, was attacked in a dark night by 800 I , :tolians. The Greeks made dreadful carnage in the Turkish camp, which 'dispersed in all directions. The British Consul at Prevesa positively announces the a rival of Redschid Pacha in that city, and speaks of his defeat as of a thing quite certain. The affairs of the isle of Candia remain in the same condi tion. However, the advantages gained by the Greeks on the Continent, and the desperate situation of Ibrahim Pacha, can not fail to ameliorate the condition of the Greeks in that island. Admiral Miaulis, with forty vessels,, has succeeded in block ing Alp before-Suda a division of the Egyptian fleet. Acccri ing to the last reports from that brave Commander, it will be difficult, perhaps impossible, for that part of the enemy's fleet to escape total destruction. Admiral Sacbtuny, with fifty vessels, is waiting off the Dar danelles for the Ottoman fleet, part of which has already sailed for Constantinople. FILOK THE SOUTH OF FRANTCE, MAY 19. We have letters from Marseilles, which quote letters from Europeans in the Levant, in which no mention -whwever is made of the news circulated by Greek houses of a capitulation of Ibrahim, stipulating .the evacuation of the Morea by his troops ; they say, . nevertheless, " that 'negotiations had been carried on for some days between Ibrahim and the Greek Pre skim Conduriotti, but. that the object of these negotiations was not known, and they had not led to any result." Ibrahim Pacha had in fact - at length been reinforced by the troops that he left behind at Soda, and thus repaired his first losses. But these European accounts, coming from persons who are extremely indisposed towards the cause of the Greeks, clearly shew that I bra ham Pacha cannot obtain firm footing in the Peloperrn emus. All his efforts were directed to the conquest of the ill fortified fort. or Navarina, and were of no avail. The number ,of the Greek troops posted at Calarnata continually increased, and the Greeks had had the advantage in several actions with the Arabs and Egyptians.—ln Patras every thing remains on the same cooting/lshefore. Though the Governor had succeeded in pro curing some provisions by means of European ships, the blockade of the place by sea had been suspended only a few days, and is now stricter than ever. By . land it has always been closely invested. The diversion in Ibra him's favour, contrived by Redschid Pacha, bad entire ly failed. It is affirmed in the Levant that Omer Viene's intrigues had caused an insurrection among the ,Alba nians against Redr k ellid Paella and his adherents. It is said that Redschid narrowly escaped an ambush laid for him. The Turks have not yet penetrated either Acarnania or Livedia s ; if theyean be hindered till the termination of the-operations against Ibrahim Pacha'for inundating the Greek territory, the Greeks have nothing more to fear in this campaign. On the whole the affairs of the Greeks have"takeif a Very favourable turn since the latter end of March.--G4llgemeine Zeituv, May 28..) We received Frankfort and Iramburgh Papers last night to the '2Bth ult. The late winter had been felt most severely in the southern parts of the Russian Empire, and immense losses had been suffered in sheep in the Steppes of the , Crimea. The following is the only article of interest:— "Alexandria (in Egypt), lifarch 23. " It is reported that an English Envoy is expected. in this city, who, in ; the name of the British Government, is to pro pose a plan to-the Viceroy for forming a junction between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean. The Viceroy has sold within a short time, Mocha cotton to the amount of twelve millions of talaris." Music.—A Concert took place yesterday noon, for the .benefit of MadeMoiselle Dus rouatuN, at Willis's Rooms, which was attended by several of the Nobility, and a very respect able audience in general. This young •Lady is highly admired as a performer on the harp. The music was well selected. Miss CUBITT in La accompanied herself on the Dolce Speranza pianoforte. She sang and performed with such taste and skill, that we wonder she does not de vote more attention to Concerts. Miss Bucn wkr,n gave a Fantasia on the pianoforte, and was deservedly applaudecL A Duett for the harp and piano :was admirably supported by Mademoiselle DESPOURUIN, and Signor p,O ciANciiETTINT, with an ,accompaniment on the French, horn by Mr. SCHUNK.E. Miss :PATON and Miss MELVILLE were prevented from attend. ing by indisposition,,but Miss VENES volunteered her,services. Mis& CUBITT sung 131snoe's beauti ful air " Should he upbraid." She also joined with Messrs. So ca and EscunEao in " La mia Dom belto,"' which was well supported. The whole was highly'atifilanded, and Miss DESPOUtinfleS merit on the harp cannot but ensure success to her professional exertions.

This extraordinary specimen of a Cheshire dairy, weighing, we understand, about 1601 b., and purchased from a tenant o Earl Grosvenor's, is daily expected in London ;. it was to be sent off from Chester as yesterday. It is splendidly ornamented with the arms of Chester, and the heraldic bearing* of his Royal Highness, and is packed up in a case made pur posely for it. The following is given as a copy of the Address which accompanies it : " To his Royal Highness Frederick, Duke of York and Al bany ; Earl of Ulster; Knight of the Most Noble Order of the G.trter ' • Commander-in-Chief of all his Majesty's Land Forces, &e. Stn,—The noble, manly, and consetu'o mai, declaration, made by your Royal Highness in the House of Peers, on the 25th day of April last, on the question - of throwing open to the. Roman Catholics of the Unitel Kingdom, all places of trust, power, and authority, has given that unmixed satisfaction to the country, which might be expected from the illustrious brother of the Monarch of these Protestant realms, and has obtained for your Royal Highness the full confidence and gra tituie of the nation. " We have beheld, Sir, certainly not without apprehension, - the endeavours which, for the last two years, have been made,. to sap the Protestant Constitution of England—to bring the Government of this country into disesteem—to vilify anti libel the Clergy of the Established Church—and even to offer insult, through the medium of a depraved and jacohin press, to the Sovereign - himself ! We are aware, too, that these en deavours of the factious have been brought about by the machi nations of a comparative few—of ambitious and disappointed men; but we are also aware that the ♦oice of the great body of the nation will, if called into action, put dOwn, by its powerful and irresistible energies, all all such anti-British intrigue ;• and that we have an ample guarantee in our beloved King, and of your Royal Highness, that the Protestant ascendancy in this empire shall be maintained inviolate, and that no dependents on a foreign prelate shall share with the Protestant people of England in that supremacy belonging only to the Sovereign who reigns over this free and united empire. - " May it please your Royal Highness, therefore, to accept from a small number of the loyal inhabitants of the ancient city of Chester, the accompanying humble and inadequate tes timonial of their 'high admiration of your „Royal High ness's conduct as a Peer of the Blood Royal of England. offered with unassumed humility, but. at the same time with an assured hope that it will not be displeasing, as. the native produce of a county which has at all times evinced by the profuse expenditure of its wealth, and the sacrifice of its blood, an uniform and unalterable attachment to the sacred person of the Sovereign, and an uncompromising adherence to. those principles which seated your princely house on the impe rial throne of these realms." • _ [Here follow the signatures of the subscribers.] " Chester, June I."
