THE SUN. SOLEI/ QUIZ DICERE 1 , 41.8U31 JUDEAT LON DON, TUESD,II I EVENING, .1.4 N. 4, 1825. From the best information which we have been able to collect respecting the contest between the Turks and the Greeks, it seems to he the inten tion of the Holy Alliance, with the concurrence of Greet Britain, not to interfere in support of either Party. The Turk is obstinately bent to re- COYPT the sovereignty over the Greeks, and the latter are equally resolved to effect their iude- Pendence. Under a conviction that such is the disposition of the contending parties, it Is obvious that no amicable intervention on either side would be attended with a beneficial result. The chief object on the part of the Powers of Europe, will be the maintenance of perfect neutrality, and to leave the contending parties to a trial of their respective strength till time and Providence shall determine the issue. The important question respecting the Inde pendence of the Spanish and Portuguese Colo- Wes seems likely in a very short time to be I ,nelly settled. It is understood that Mr. CAN. leiso has actually signified to the Foreign Mi nisters now in London that it is the positive de termination of his MAJEsTy's Government to conclude Commercial Treaties with the ftepub nes of Mexico and Columbia. It may therefore be fairly presumed that the Honourable Secre tary has communicated this important determi nation of the British Cabinet to the Courts of Spain and Portugal. After such treaties have actually taken place, the next step on the part of our Government must necessarily be the for mal recognition of the independence of both those Republics, as it is obviously impossible that Spain and Portugal can ever recover their sovereignty over them. The Paris Papers of Saturday arrived last night. The Addresses of the Chambers, in re ply to the KING'S Speech, were presented on Friday, and as usual they merely echo the Royal sentiments. The KING'S answers are worthy of notice, as they evince a determination to re store things as much as possible to the state in which they were previous to the Revo lution ; and that such is the intention of the French Cabinet is very evident from the decid edly counter-revolutionary tone assumed by the Ministerial Journals. On Monday the projects of law respecting the proposed indemnity to the emigrants and the Civil List, were to be laid before the Chamber of Deputies, in which the Mi nister has a decided majority ; and report says that, in order to strengthen his influence in the Cham ber of Peers, where the Opposition Party is very strong both in numbers and talent, M. de VIL LELE intends to create eighteen Ecclesiastical Peers. We extract the folio‘‘ ing article ; respecting the affairs of Greece and Turkey ; from a Frank- fort Paper of . the 98th ult., which arrived this morning : FROM TUE DANUBE, DEC. 12. The Chancery of Foreign Affairs at Vienna, is more ac tively employed than ever. The number of the couriers dis patched from this office is Very considerable, and every thing indicates that affairs of the highest importance at pre sent employ our Statesmen. If we may credit the reports in circulation the negotiation carrying on between our Cabinet and some other great Courts, relate to the affairs of Greece and the future fate of that country. All the reports that have been spread of a supposed misunderstanding be tween some of the Powers on this subject are built on very slight foundations, for only those present, who by their situation are initated in the secrets of politics, can be in possession of the facts relative to the negociations, hut will take care not to betray any such secrets. On the other hand, considering all that has passed, a well-founded hope is enter tained that all the Great Powers, without exception, will unite and that the important question respecting Greece will be de cided in a manner perfectly In harmony with the general wel fare of Europe. Rut in the end the most difficult thing will be to isduce the Porte to listen to reason ; for by the last accounts from Constantinople it is known that the Sultan and the privileged party in the Divan still insist on the unconditional submission of the Greeks, and that the pro posal made by one of the most most ancient Turkish Statesmen to place the Morea on the same footing as Moldavia and Wal lachia, not only excited great dissatisfaction in the' Divan, but has placed in a very critical situation the author of the proposal, who was most violently threatened. The Turkish Government is not UQ blind as not to be sensible that it would expose itself to inevitable destruction if it ven tured to break with the great Powers. The late combined steps of the European Ambassadors, peremptorily requiring the evacuation of ;the principalities, have had the desired effect. Positive information has been received at Vienna through the Austrian Consul, not only that orders for the evacuation had arrived, but that they had been immediately carried into exe catkin, and that the troops stationed on the left bank of the Danube are in full march to proceed to the right bank of that river. There is no doubt that as soon as this is accomplished, M. Menziacky will deliver his credentials as Charge d'Affaires of the Russian Court. Norfolk Papers. to the 7th December arrived this morning, by which It appears that about twenty vessels are at St. Thomas's preparing to engage in the Slave-trade. Soveral of them are American under Dutch colours. New Brunswick Papers to the Sth December have also reached us. The Batik transport had, it is stated, arrived at St. John's from England, with 13 Officers and sel rank and file of the Ve teran Battalion, commanded by Cot. Bulks, to relieve the 81st Regiment, which was to embark for Halifax upon the arrival of another transport, which was momentarily expected. The British Parliament would do well, on Its approaching Session (says the intelligent Cor respondent who transmitted us the article under the head of " Foreign Corn Trade"), to take into immediate consideration the present absurd laws respecting the Corn Trade. It is not true that the agricultural interest would be ruined by even a perfect freedom in the Corn Trade. But if an absolutely unfettered trade be too much to look for, under existing circumstances, for God's sake let us at least get rid of the trickery and fraud which is so deeply interwoven with the system of averages. Let Government impose a fixed duty on the admission of foreign Wheat, of eight or ten shillings per quarter (a very clever article iu the last EDINDURGII Re• VIEW recommends six shillings), and other Grain in proportion. We should then be advancing the interests of the community in general, and establish a more intimate union among nations ; which, in the extension of markets, would be every thing to this great commercial country. Mr. CURWEN, Mr. ELLA( &N, and others, who labour under such gross misapprehensions as to the price at which Baltic Wheat may be imported into England, will see, hi the above letter, additional proof of the cor rectness of Mr. EDWARD SOLLY'II evidence before the Committeeof the Hon. House of Com mons, on the Corn question ; and that in point of fact, the evil would be greatly outbalauced by the good that would result by the transit from the restrictive to a free system. INDIA.-111 the various topics for discussion on the attempt which will be made to renew the East India Company's Charter, none will exceed, in interest or importance, the question which will arise on " the difficulty of determining any mea " sure of State, with regard to the widely-increas " inn branch of India population, growing out of " the irregular connexion of 30,000 Europeans," and which " has hitherto caused an apparent " apathy on a question of such momentous poli " tical importance. The question must now soon " force itself upon public consideration, and the " longer it is delayed, the more difficult will be " its decision." Letters from Gibraltar to the 9th ult. an nounce the receipt of accounts from Madrid, mentioning that the Spanish Ministry had deter mined to admit several kinds of prohibited British cotton goods, on payment of a certain duty ; and that this measure had originated in the e-xhausted state of the Treasury, which was unable to meet any further disbursements. It was calculated that this procedure would cause a considerable influx of the goods in question into Spain, and that consequently the duty collected would alle viate in some measure the present wants of the Government. kt 'r e . t,jlA - .1:44-1 0..}: -.

The above Lady gave a splendid entertainment at her Marine Residence, at Hastings, on Friday last, the 31st of Dec., which consisted of a Ball and Supper. The drawing rooms were bril liantly illuminated, and filled with beauty and fashion at an early hour. Dancing commenced at nine o'clock. The supper was announced at twelve o'clock. Waltzes and quadrilles were re newed after supper, and kept up with the greatest spirit until three o'clock in the morning. There were about one hundred and fifty present ; amongst whom were, the Dowager Marchioness of Hertford, Lord and Lady Robert Fitzgerald and their lovely daughters, Lady Mary and Miss Ross, Lady Maria Meade, Lady Mary Coates, Lady La vington, Theos. Jones, Sir lt Mimi) Ashburnham, Sir William and Lady Welby and family, the Hon. Mr. and the Misses Wellesley, &c. Lord Stowell gave an elegant entertainment, on New Year's Day, to the Duke and Duchess of Montrose, Lady G. Graham, Lord and Lady Sidmouth, and a large party. Yesterday his Lordship entertained the Judges and a distinguished party at his house in Grafton-street, Bond-street. The Newbury Christmas Ball was unusually well attended, and, with very few exceptions, by nearly all the families of dis tinction in the neighbourhood, to the amount of about 200 per sons; among whom were the Right Hon. Earl of Carnarvon, Sir J. Fellowes, Messrs. Peere, Clinton, Iloublon, "%Telford, Cherry, Denford, &c. Dancing was kept up with the utmost vivacity, and every thing was so admirably well conducted by the Stewards, that the company appeared highly gratified with their polite attentions. W e anticipate that the next Ball will be more numerously attended. W. were misinformed in stating yesterday that Miss STEPHENS, our admired Syren, was one of the friends of the late M. WEwITZER, who adhered to him with the kindest attention for many years, and to his latest moments.— The lady who took so laudable an interest in his welfare, we understand, was Miss STEVENSON, the daughter of Mr. STEVENSON, of the English Opera House. To her perse vering solicitude was poor WEwyrz E kindebted for a mitiga tion of his sufferings. It may be proper, however, to add our persuasion, that tss STEPHEN a, if she had been equally well acquainted with his merits and his privations, would have been ready to administer effectual consolation. As it has been reported that Madame CATA LANI was in treaty for un engagement at the King's Theatre, for this season, we are authorised .by that Lady to state, that there is no foundation whatever for such rumours. The fact is, that she has absolutely renounced the Stage for ever. NEW TRAGEDY.—We understand that a new Tragedy has been received and approved of at Covent-garden. The piece had a stage rehearsal yesterday, and will, of course, be shortly pre sented to the public.—(Morning Paper.) CAUTION TO MARINERS.—The at Fresh water in the ISLE or WIGHT, having recently been burnt down, and as this mill has been used as a land mark for Tit r. WARDENT LEDGE, the attention of navigators is particu larly called to this circumstance; and information has been received that the light vessel off THE Sat.TEr.s, near Water ford, on the coast of Ireland, has been driven off her station during the late tempestuous weather.—(Hampshire Ciumiele.) POPE!: We miderstand the inhabitants of Bishop's Waltham intend petitioning Parliament against any further concessions being granted to the Catholics.—(Rid.) The Mayor and Corporation of Newcastle. upon-Tyne, with a liberality that invariably distinguishes that body, have subscribed Fifty Pounds towards the fund for pre liminary purposes, connected with the nail-way, or Canal, be tween Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Carlisle. The benevolence of his Grace the Duke of Nott'rnuatuEaLAND has been manifested in the usual liberal manner, at Alnwick, this Christmas, by large donations of provisions to the poor,besides articles of clothing, blankets, &c. Sir Timm AS Buono:4,ot West Jesmond, New castle-upon-Tyne, with Isis accustomed benevolence, gave on Christmas-day, the sum of twenty-live guineas to the poor, in manner lidlowing, viz. ten guineas to the poor of \Vest Jes mond—ten guineas to the poor of St. Andrew's parish, New castle-upon-Tyne—and five guineas to the poor of the parish of Felton, Northumberland. 'nip New York Gazett3 of the 25th November, gives the following account of an extraordinary and ingenious escape made from the State Prison at Charlestown a few days prior to the date, by ou r of th e conv i c t s . H e worked in a shop as a cabinet-maker and upholsterer, and having orders for a large sofa, he made it with a false bottom, and stated it with some very light materials. In the space formed between the top and lower bottom, he contrived to introduce his body, at the time when the waggoner came to take away the piece of furni ture. Ile was a small man, and weight was not sufficient to produce any suspicion iu the mind of the driver. The sofa, thus loaded, was accordingly stowed away in the baggage wag gon, and our Hero effected his escape in a manner that for some time eluded the detection of the officers. CANOVA AND BUONAPARTE.-111 a Life of Ca nova, which has been recently published in Italy, there is a long conversation which took place between Buonaparte 'and Canova, while the former was sitting tv the latter for his bust. It was written down by Canova immediately on their sepa. ation. Lord UXBRIDGE, the Lords JOHN, GEORGE, WILLIAM, and SUSSEX LENNOX, K ith other uisin characters, spent the Christmas at Goodwood. On Monday an alarming accident oc curred to Captain and Lady CHARLOTTE BERKE LEY, on taking their departure thence in a gig drawn by a spirited horse, which becoming impa tient, reared and plunged violently. The animal at length fell, and precipitated the Captain and Lady C. on the ground. The former escaped un hurt: her Ladyship received a severe contusion, but the best hopes are entertained of her speedy and perfect recovery. The animal was dreadfully lacerated.

It is a re markable circumstance that the stag, having taken through stoke-park, entered the house of Colonel Vyse, and having re mained in the hall a short time, very deliberately proceeded up the principal staircase. His progress was, however, arrested, and he was turned out of the premises, after several amusing scenes, in which he displayed remarkable quietness. After a run of about two hours, he was taken at Farnham. A Fox Hunt took place in the Isle of Wight, on Monday se'nnight. Reynard was turned out on Limerston Down, and chased for several hours by about lAO huntsmen. The ground was so particularly wet, that the horses got completely stuck in some of the low lands, which prevented their realizing so much sport as was anticipated. PEDESTRIANISM. The great Foot Race, for a 1000 sovereigns, between J. P. Nicholson, Esq. the fastest in Cheshire, and Captain Meth win, took place on Saturday over two miles of ground at Had ley I'ark, Bucks ; many hundred persons being present. The distance was twenty miles; the competitors starting from dif ferent end.. The match was made on the evening of the late race of Captain Parker, at Sunbury, and the Squire was backed at sto 4 ; but the Captain's friends were free takers. Mr. Nicholson performed the 20 miles in 2 hours, 5 minutes, and 19 seconds ; and Capt. M. in 2 hours, 6 minutes, and 40 sec. The Captain run strong until the last, but Mr. Nicholson had strength and speed, and he won within himself, the Captain making all the exertion. They were together to the end of the 19th mile, when the match was won easy. MERCANTILE SHIPPING.

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 2.—wind W. .W. strong gale.—A r rived the John, Vernon, Bursley, from Virginia, sailed the Bth ult. in company with the Gulnare for this Port; the Herald sailed on the 6th. The Prince Royal, of London, Clawd, from Smyrna to Lon. don, was driven on shore at Ballytique on Friday morning last, and has since gone to pieces ; the cargo, it is feared, will be totally lost ; crew saved. The Hero, Crawford, front Londonderry to Liverpool, was driven on shore near Stranraer the 213th ult., and it was feared would be totally lost. Arrived off Dartmouth the Meridian, Coaker, from Oporto in 7 days. The ?Jelly and Margaret, from Troon to Greenock, fout•.- dered offArdrossan the 29th ult., and the crew drowned. A letter from the Harbour Master, &c. at Richebucto, re. ceived at Lloyd's, and dated Dec. 1, mentions, that all vessels making for that port should steer for two buoys placed outside the bar, and keep the two beacons (placed on the south beach at the entrance of the harbour) in a line, which will bring them safely over the bar. It appears that three vessels have lately been lost there by not paying attention to the above-di rections, and entering the port without a pilot. • Yesterday the dispatches for Bombay and China, by the ship Vansittart, were closed at the East India Douse, and delivered to the Purser of that ship. - - - --- THE MURDER AT BEXHILL. In The Sun of yesterday we gave an extract from a Brighton Paper respecting a young man, a shepherd, belonging to Messrs. lirook, farmers, at Bexhill, who had been found dead in a pond. It was also stated that the young man's throat had been cut, but such, we believe, is not the case. The lad, whose name was Sawyer, and who was not more than eighteen years of age, not returning home at his accustomed time on Wednesday evening, diligent search was made for him, and on Thursday morning his lifeless body was found in a muddy pond, half choaked with reeds, and not more than three feet deep. A little dog belonging to the deceased had re. mained near the spot all night, as if willing to guard him in death, from whom in life, he had received kindness, and shewn approved fidelity. The moment the body was found every means were taken to apprehend the murderers, and suspicion falling on a man named George Daw, who was in company with the deceased youth, near Cooden, anti was afterwards seen walking alone, a quarter of a mile from the above spot he was taken into custody. Daw 's brother was also apprehended, he having been a short time before in the deceased's company. It also appeared that George Daw had pawned or offered for sale the deceased's watch, which, with a few halfpence, was the only property the deceased had about him. A chain, which was formerly attached to the deceased's watch, and identified as his property, was also found in the possession of George Day when he was apprehended. Some suspicion having been excit ed against the brothers of the deceased, in consequence of very extraordinary language they had made use of with respect to their unfortunate brother, they also were apprehended, and sent to Horsham gaol, to answer any charge of so serious a nature as that of being accessory to their brother's death. On Friday afternoon, a Coroner's Inquest was held on the deceased's body at Bexhill. It is presumed that when the attack was first made on him the murderder gave him a very severe blow on the side of the neck ; the Medical Gentlemen who opened his head found a quantity of extravasited blood, produced from the effects of the blow, and they were also of opinion that instant death did not follow such blow, but that the deceased's existence was terminated by suffocation in the muddy pond where he was found. The evidence was not of sufficient ►trength to charge either the deceased's brothers or the Daws with the murder, and the Jury, after a long consul tation, returned a verdict of—" Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown." The GRAND DUKE OF TUSCANY has been stay. ing at Pisa during the summer. Most of the in valids from England, who resort to Italy for the restoration of their health, avail themselves of the mild climates of Pisa during a portion of the year. Good Friday, this year, will fall on the Ist of April ; Easter Sunday is of course the third of April. This is' the first year after Bissextile, so that February bath only 213 days. It will be the sixth year of the reign of his present Majesty. Whit-Sunday will be May 22d; and Christmas-day will be on a Sunday. _ _ _ MiltAcui.nus EsCAPE.—On Saturday. last as a man was riding a horse belonging to Mr. TANNEit, Steward to the Earl of ESSEX, in Cashiobury Park, Watford, the rider felt the horse's hind legs giving way, and instantly jumped off, when the horse disappeared from his view ! On giving the alarm to some work people, they found the animal had fallen into a chalk pit, or rather well, to the depth of about thirty feet, where he appeared apparently resting on his hind legs, and his fore legs confined to the sides. Some of the people were immediately set to work under the judicious ad. vice of Mr. FELLOWS, the foreman, and three strong fir trees were securely placed over the well in a triangular form, with a pulley and rope attached. A man named Thomas Wilson then descended and fixed the rope round the horse's body, and tied the fore feet, and by these means the animal was released from his temporary imprisonment, having apparently suffered little injury. Oh Sunday last, during the hours of Divine Service, two Methodist Preachers (Americans, we understand), at tempted to preach in Carysfort Avenue, when they were attacked by a ferocious mob, who commenced pelting them with stones, and one of the unfortunate men being severely wounded, obliged then, to fly for their lives, Half an hour after, two of the vagabonds concerned in this disgraceful outrage sallied out of a porter-house in the Rock (where more whiskey is sold on Sunday than all the week), perfectly naked, and boxed in the street for half an hour, to the amusement of the rest of the ruffians.—( Dublin Star.) About a month since Mr. Cornelius Clark, farmer, of Barnby, sent a young cow down to a pasture near Whitby, for grass. The cow was soon after missing, and he concluded she was stolen, and published bills,' offering reward for her recovery. Last week there were some heavy rains, which caused the ditches to fill with water. Bag dale Beck empties itself into a large conduit quite under the turnpike, and into the low side of the field where the lost cow was feeding ; and one morning last week, the water forced the cow out from under the conduit, where she had been lying dead some time. It is conjectured that the other cattle in the field, finding the cow a stranger amongs t them, had chased her, and made her take refuge in the above place, where she had not room to turn herself, and therefore had remained until she died. The Severn has again considerably overflowed its banks ; such a succession of floods is very remarkable, the fall of rain during the last three months greatly exceeds the usual average. A short time since a servant woman, Who wish ed to get married, applied to the Roman Catholic Bishop residing not a hundred miles from Newry, humbly soliciting his Reverence 64 to do the use ful." A guinea was his fee ; and without this the ceremony could not be performed. The con sequence of which was, that the poor woman had actually to pawn her clothes in order to satisfy the rapacity of her Father Confessor, whose re gular charge was five shillings only !—( Irish Times.) - On Saturday evening an unfortunate young woman who had come out of the Edsinabtutreghdl.—n ficormusaergyuetilliecesaomf sam e intoxication, c f a e o upon v esupcahvevmioelnerti,cien, hertsthiaethas s f i r n o c n e ta d l i b e o d n , bone was completely hre
