SOLEM CIUIS DICEBE FALSUiI AUDICAT LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MARC HlO, 1825 We received by Express to-day the Journal du Commerce of Tuesday, from which we extract the following important articles : Pittzs, MARcu 8. A private letter from Bremen, of recent date, asserts that the independence of Greece is almost the exclusive object of the mission of Mr. STRAT.. FORD CANNING to St. Petersburgit. The same letter states, that England having recognised the new States of South America, Russia claims the right of interfering in the affairs of Greece according to her own views and interests, and that the approaching journey of Prince de METTERNICH to Paris is undertaken with the object of engaging the IFrench Government to join Austria in opposing the aggrandizement of Russia. The works for the repairs of the ships of war composing the Russian fleet in the Baltic, at Cronstadt, are carried on with extraordinary activity, under the directio►► of two Adjutant- Generals of the Emperor ALEXANDER. The Iterates on Tuesday were 103 f. 65c. ex dividend. It w ill be seen by our extracts from the Paris Papers of Monday, that the Spanish Minister of Grace and Justice, by order of the KING, has laid. before the Council of Castille the project of a Decree of Amnesty, most comprehensive and satisfactory in its :attire, which has, however, bee►► rejected by that body as unseasonable and impracticable. In spite of this opinion the mea sure had been referred to the Council of State, and it was generally expected that a political change would soon take place in that country. Such is the account given by the Journal des DI:- bats and Constitutionnel; hut the Eloile, without positively denying its truth, expresses some doubt as to the authenticity of the proposed Decree of Amnesty. Frankfort Papers to the 4th inst. arrived this morning. The following ,article from Carlsruhe is the only one worth extracting : CARLSRUIIE, MARCH 1. Yesterday morning the Grand Duke gave audience to the Deputations of the Two Chambers appointed to present the Addresses, in reply to his Speech at the opening of the Session. His Royal Highness the Margrave William spoke in the name of the First M ember. The Grand Duke replied as follows : " I thank the First Chamber for the Address which you pre sent me in its name. From the sentiments it expresses,— seeing again part of the farmer Members, and the good dispo sitions of the Chambers confinnid by the cliaCe of the others,— I cannot doubt that in future, as hitherto, its efforts will be always to my great satisfaction, as honourable as useful." The following is the answer of his Royal llighness to the Address of the Second Chamber : " I receive with pleasure the Address which you present to me. By the manner in whiech the Second Chamber has appre ciated the contents of my Speech, it gives me the assurance that my presentiments have not deceived me, when I promised my selft he happiest results from this Assembly. • " Tell the Chamber, in returning my thanks to it, that I am satisfied with all that has hitherto come to my knowledge." llainburgh Papers to the sth instant preset' nothing of interest except the following accoun of sonic religious disputes in Switzerland : swiTzERLAND, FED. 25. Great sensation has been cxciten at Geneva by thdeposition of the Rev. M. Mudry, Catholic Clergyman at Versoix. This Clergyman had, on the distribution of the prizes in the girls' school in his parish, made a speech, in which he bestowed due praise on the system of mutual instruction. The Rev. M. Vua rin, Clergyman of Genera, who had declared against it in a pseudonymous letter, " From Brother Bonnefoy to Father Girard at Freyburg," was indignant at this innovation, hastened post to Freyburg, and induced the Bishop, has the title of Bishop of Geneva and Lausanne, to depose the guilty party. But the inhabitants, who did not see the force of these reasons, obstinately re fused to receive another Clergyman, and affirmed that M. Mudry had hitherto preached the word of God to them in such a manner, that every body could understand it, and that they wuuld not have a Vicar who preached Latin to them from the pulpit, of which neithy;rthey nor he himself understood a word. afd; They Clergyman of Collex-Bossy and a M. Bondion have teen sent to them, but instead of singing in the mass they set up a violent whistling and hissing, tningled with threats, and have gone in a body to heat divine service in the neigh bouring Protestant iillage oflienthod.

BEILLIN, MARCH I.—London, three months, C. 2-Ig. Mr. PEEL, by the Bill which he introduced in the House of Commons last night, has shewn that he possesses all the sound qualities of a prac , tical Statesman, particularly acuteness in research, patience in investigation, and judgment to simplify and methodize. The object of the Bill in question is to consolidate and amend the exist ing laws relative to the empanelling of Juries, and to combine in one comprehensive Statute all the various regulations that are now spread over not fewer than eighty-five Acts of Parliament, framed at distant periods. The idea evinces a clear and judicious mind, and is well calculated to give additional purity to that great bulwark of the Constitution, and protection of general freedom and property, the trial by Jury. We have not room to expatiate on the sub- ject at present, but as the object in view is of high importance, we cannot for bear to offer our tribute of respect and grati tude to a Gentleman, .whose situation in life ef; places him so far abovg pecuniary temptation, that lie may be fairly supposed to undertake the fatigues of office from the noblest motives of patriotism and philanthropy, and consequently mnst have peculiar claims to the esteem, venera tion, and confidence of the People. Aceounts from Smyrna of the Ist ultimo men, tio 1, that the European Officers serving on board the Egyptian fleet were sent below deck, 'Prtile t m en of them had been during the actions ' w m i d th a th g e u G ar r d ee s k et o‘ileet, and haTiged at Boudroun, by order of lartAiiim PACHA, as having occasioned the reverses which he owed solely to his want of ability, and to the eater prising heroism of the Greeks. Ile is said to have declared that hisfirst act, w h en h e sh o uld su cceed his father in the Government of Egypt, would be to massacre all the Europeans in his service. Letters from Alexandria of the Ist ultimo state against the Emir o f th e D RUSES. that fresh troubles had hir OUNT LEBANON broken out in Syria, where the Sh eik tlechir f A ° —• 0 infan t ry _ G YPT had sent hi s S e li ctar B ey had Tiie i, rebelled aeh a of f E between them, reconciliationga4oo t a o n d bring s a n abou t i and 2,000 cavalry to give effect to his interposition. Letters from Italy announce that an epidemic disorder, the symptoms of which are very alarm ing, has appeared in Romagna. It is supposed to be the cholera worbus, rhe Cabinet Ministers dined with Viscount MELVILLE yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. Nicholson Stuart gave an elegant dinner on Tuesday to the Prince and Princess Polignac, Prince Ester hazy, the Duchess of Leeds, the Marquis and Marchioness of Downshire, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Earl and Countess of Darnley, and Lady Elizabeth Bligh, Mr. and Mrs. Hope, the Earl of Essex, and Sir George Airarrender. The Countess of Sandwich entertained a select circle on Tties day evening, at her residence in Dover-street. Yesterday his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex gave a grand dinner to a political party, at his apartments in Kensing. ton Palace. The Duke of Montrose gave a grand dinner in Grosvenor. square, yesterday. Yesterday Earl Gower gave an elegant entertainment in liamilton.place. The Marchioness Dowager of Salisbury yesterday gave an elegant dinner in Arlington-strect. Yesterday the Earl of Derby gave his first dinner. This day will be given at Devonshire-house, the sumptuous Banquet which has been more than a fortnight preparing. Lady Langford's party on Saturday evening, in Berkeley square, was one of the most agreeable petite parties the season has produced. The Duke of Devonshire intends giving a third grand dinner on Saturday next. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—On Monday evening, the 28th of February, by special licence, at Garbally, the seat of the Earl of Clancarty, Thomas Kavanagh, of Borris, County of Kilkenny, Esq., to Lady Harriet Trench, second daughter of the Earl of Clancarty. The marriage ceremony was per formed by the Honourable and Venerable the Archdeacon of Ardagh, and early on Tuesday morning the happy pair left Garbally, in a chaise and four, for Kilkenny Castle, the seat of the Earl of Ormonde and Ossory. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE had determined on visiting Eng land for some months during the present season, accompanied by his Royal Duchess, and preparations were making in Lon don for their reception, but which have been stopped, in con sequence of letters having been received in London from the Duke of CAM/1111130E within these few days, from Hanover, stating, that in consequence of the grievous calamity which has befallen Hanover by the inundations and breaking of the dykes, his Royal Highness had determined on foregoing the pleasure of visiting his native country, and intends to remain in Hanover to give every possible assistance and relief to the distressed inhabitants, LONDON ORPHAN ASYLUM.—The Anniversary of this excellent institution was celebrated yesterday at the City of London Tavern. The Duke of Volts was to have presided, but his Royal Highness sent an apology, expressive of his re gret at not being able to attend. The Lou D MAYOR, there fore, was called to the Chair in his stead, and was supported by the Marquis of Salisbury, G. Byng, Esq. M.P., } . Buxton, Esq. M.P., Sir Thomas Turton, Bart., Colonel Stevenson, and several other gentlemen of rank. The room altogether was moat respectably and numerously filled. After the cloth was removed,•the children, who presented a very interesting appear ance, were introduced, and walked, in procession round the room. Various appeals were made in behalf of the charity, pointing out the humane objects it had in view, and the exec. tiona that were *till necessary for their accomplishment— a result thatmight well fill the minds of i promoters with delight. The list of donations amounted to a considerable sum, but one which was still unequal to the purpose for which it was required. From the Allgenzeine Zeitung of the 3d instant we learn, that Prince METEERNICII was to sel out from Vienna for Paris on the 28th ultimo The Austrian Court will not go to Italy unti l after the Easter Holidays. A dvices from Stockholm of the 22d February state, that iron and Baltic produce have risen in price at Gottenburg, owing to the purchases of two English Agents, it is supposed, on account of the Colombian Government. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of CumnEa.LANn, on hearing of the disasters oc casioned by the late floods iu Hanover, imme diately sent 500/. sterling for the relief of the sufferers. A King's Messenger was expected to leave town last night, with dispatches for Alcona. Mr. Secretary CANNING, we are happy to say, was so much recovered yesterday as to be able to walk with the assistance of a stick. The Right Hon. Gentleman is still attended by Dr. HoL LANO and Mr. SHUTER. Sir CHARLES STUART was to leave town yes terday on his mission to Portugal. Prince ESTERHAZY is appointed by the Empe ror of AUSTRI I Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at the Coronation of the King of FRANCE, at Rheims, instead of his father, Prince PAUL, who came to England in that capa city at the Coronation of his present MAJESTY. Mr. O'CoNNELL was yesterday examined be fore the Committee of the House of Lords ap pointed to inquire into the state of Ireland. The Earl of HAanowav was in the Chair. The Com mittee assembled at twelve, and continued till four o'clock. There was an unusually full attend. awe of Lords. Mr. O'CONNELL, was the only witness examined by the Committee during the whole day. His examination excited great interest. We have great pleasure in stating that RALPH ATKINSON, Esq., of Newcastle.upon-Tyne, a Gentleman of vast landed property, and cousin to the LORD CHANCELLOR and Lord STOWELL, is greatly recovered from a severe illness that attacked him in the early part of the winter. A recent letter from Dresden states, that Madame Devrieux, one of the performers at the Court Theatre in that city, (the talented daughter of the well-known Schroeder, manager of the Harnburgh Theatre), had been appointed by the Queen to be Reader to her Majesty, with a handsome salary, and to be permitted, besides, to retain her engagement at the Theatre. Po wrsmouTtl, MARCH B.—The Diadem trans port, has gone out of harbour this afternoon, and will proceed, as soon as the wind permits, to Falmouth, to take onboard the officers and men of the 31st regiment saved from the Kent, to bring them back to this port. NEW QUAY. —A Meeting of the Vestry of the Parish of St. Martin in the Fields was held this morning, to consider of the plan for the erection of a Quay on the North Bank of the Thames, at which it was unanimously resolved to oppose the measure, and a Committee was appointed to carry that resolution into effect. ~....; r k.. • ' f , i 0 Npfr7,. .. , ' , :.• , • 4 .- fr P c p * ( 5 s 4 . t1".; .-;'.. —:',.. • 4^ . , fli 4106 , --# •" s e n - , - - : . ..-tir;101. 4 ; '''. ,a. s t ,,; i , pli t'4 . .,:: . ,.1;•; ; i1 1 . :: . 07 .; :e ‘, l / 4 \ 0, ~" z .,/5 i 4 4. : 4 -,, . c .),.$ 1 ' , i) r ...7' . „._;. * 48. c,,,,.. -c-R OT 3- -.. .-li.'

The Friends, Maw, from London to Gainshorough, was driven on shore, near the Spurn Point, on the 7th inst., and filled with water. The Mellish, from Calcutta to London, was to sail on the 16th of November; she may be daily expected. DEATH oy LADY BELL.—Died at her house in Dean-street, Soho, sincerely and most deservedly lamented, Lady BELL, relict of Sir Thomas Bell, Knight. Her Lady ship was eminently distinguished for her abilities in painting; copies of some of the most celebrated pictures taken at Carlton House, and submitted to his Majesty, it' no others existed, afford the strongest proof of her Ladyship's taste and talents, and will hand down the name of Lady Bell as one of the most eminent artists of the present day. A letter from Newcastle-upon-Tyne says, the greater part of the engine -builders and mill-wrights, employed in the different manufactories in that town, struck for an ad. • ranee of wages on Monday last. Their. demand is three shil lings per week more than what they have been usually paid. This claim is made at this time under the pretence of a rise in the price of provisions, but the more probable cause appears tl be, that their labour is now in greater requisition than it has been. The alteration in the law last year, as affecting masters and servants, though well intended, seems to be taken advan. tage of by workmen whenever they can frame the least excuse for opposing their employers. This is a state of things that the Legislature are bound to put a stop to. The extreme briskness of trade last year at Liverpool, is evidenced by an official account just published. The excess of 1824 over 1823 is more than 4,500,0001. The export of cotton manufactures and yarn, are estimated at the vast sum of thirty millions! A late Paris Journal announces the sale of the celebrated flock of sheep of Torres•Pauler, about 15,000 in number. It was conjectured there would, in consequence, be a fall in the price of Spanish wool. A Berlin Paper state, that a seal was sh - ot in the river Moldau, near to Dessau, on the 19th ult., by Lieutenant Count VON SALMS, Deputy Grand Forester. This inhabitant of the German Ocean,. which had got so far out of its way, was 41 feet in length, and weighed 1741b5. There are at present published in S'. Peter - burgh (says a letter from that city, dated the 12th ult.) periodical works, and in Moscow 7; of which four, namely, the Northern Bee, the Journal of Interior Trade, the Bitti:). graphical Sheet, and the Iforcow Telc:raph, commenced with the year 1325. Ten men were tried at Naples last month, for 'a horrid murder, committed in 1821. Two vverti condemned to death, and the others to 30 years' imprisonment. One of them condemned to death confessed that, since the year 1818, he had corn. mitted seventeen murders. REFORMAP_ON AMONG TUE CATuoLto.—The Members of the Anglican Church frequently re proach the Catholics with permitting revelry and mirth on the Sabbath ; and it is probably to show the superior sourness of Catholicism that the Catholic Council of the Canton of Schwik • has ordained that its subjects shall only dance on the three last days of the Carnival, and on the Feast of the Dedication. Whoever dances, or makes others dance, except on these four days, in the whole year, is to be fined two Louis. It is also forbidden to go about the villages play. ing the fiddle. There will not be a single vice committed in the whole Canton after fiddling and dancing are left off.—(French Paper.) The Neva York Gazette of the 98t January says—" Miss KELLY had a real benefit on Wed nesday evening, The receipts amounted to seventeen hundred dollars."—The same Paper says, " It is very generally rumoured that JOSEPH BUEINAPARTE has bought an extensive site mansion O for f A his pin Philadelphia, and that he is about to erect a suitable P f tlEN ami T ly l . C " INDENTURES ESHIP.--It was finally decided by Mr. Norris, at the New Bailey, on Tues. day last (after the case in which the point arose had been several times postponed for further consideration), that unless the paper on which an indenture of apprenticeship is engrossed, to be intented, or notched at the edges, the insut ment will he void, if it begins in the usual way, This Inden ture," notwithstanding the provisions of the Act of the 54 Geo, 3; but if the instrument purported to be an agreement, instead of an indenture, it would be valid.—Manchester Paper. I NACTI VIT T.—POLYIII us relates, that when the battle was begun which was to decid3 the fate of the Mace donian empire, Perseus basely withdrew to the city Pydna, under pretence of sacrificing to Hercules—" a god (says Plutarch) that is not wont to regard the offerings of coward, or grant such requests as are anju• t; it not being reasonable that he who never shoots should carry away the prize— that he should triumph who sneaks from the battle—or he who takes no pains should meet with success. To Emilius's petition the god listened, for he prayed for victory with his sword in his hand, and was fighting at the same time that he implored the Divine assistance. There are some who have too mean an opinion of their own abilities, and by fancying them selves to be useless, become so, and dare not attempt many things in which they are capable of succeeding, and which they ought to perform. This behaviour arirks more fromlindolence or melancholy than from humility." John Fisher, alias Smith, who was some time ago apprehended by Shergold, the constatele, and taken before the Magistrates at Union-hall, charged on suspicion of having been implicated as one of the party who shot a gamekeeper in the service of Mr. Stracey of Ruckheath, in the county of Nor folk, was a few days since sent down to Norwich, in the custody of the officer who took him prisoner. On arriving at Norwich jail. Fisher was immediately identified by one of the turnkeys as the accomplice of the man who had already suffered the penalty of the law for the offence. Fisher underwent an ex. amination before one of the Magistrates, the result of which was, that he was committed for trial at the Assizes. An accident, which had nearly proved serious, happened in the Old Chapel for French Protest ants, in Martin's-lane in the city, on Friday last. A. country gentleman, accompanied by his son, went into the chapel, in which the pulpit, seats, seats, &c. were set up for auction, it being in tended to pull down the old building. Justas one of the lots were put up, the stranger opened his mouth to bid, but was prevented by the fall of a large fiag.stone, upon which he stood, into the vault, which had not been o pened for many years. The old gentleman's fall was about 15 or 16 feet in depth, and amidst the dust and bones of the departed. He fortunately sustained but little I
