"Th,e opposition in the House, of:Lords has some • curious features.... Lord Winchilsea made a speech last night, intended, we presume,- to be an anti miniaterial speech, though we were. not fortunate enough to detect the dial of it in relation to the !Bill then tinder consideration, being that for dc !legating the power to affix his . Majesty's signature to public instruments, during the. Royal indispo sition. Lord Winchilsea is reported to have said, thirt he was. very desirous to relieve - his:Majesty from trouble, hut that he also Wished to examine the King's physicians, touching the amount and nature of his malady, and' moreover,. that he dreaded the purposes to which such a.preeedent might be turned in the hands of an ambitious Minister, &c. &c. Now, if Lord Winehilsea had not the reputation of being a very honestand truth-telling min, we shnuld r Idly disbelieve altogether that he could attach even thr; slightest importaneeto his own remarks upon this measure. HiS Lordship.wishes the-King to he relieved from inconvenience ; yet he will not credit the royal word, attested by responiihle Ministers, aS To the existence of the suffering with which his Ma jesty declares- h;mself to be afilieted,unleSs'the House will permit him, at the same time, to inquire from the King's physicians what is the specific nature of the illness under which his Majesty labours. Is not enough known by the Legislature, when his Majesty assures them, on the authority of a Royal Aiessage, countersigned and presented by a respocs ible Minister, that the use of his hand in signing State papers gives him great pain and inconve nience the Ntible Lord fears danger' to the State from such a measure, guarded as is the pre sent one by an entire host of securities,_ we need only ask his L o rd s hip " w h at i s to be done ?" Suppose his Majesty bad lost an arm, or both arms, by accident- or disease, is the Noble Lord prepared to soy that a delegated signature would be worse than a total suspension of 'the public btisiness of the country, qualified and restrained, as. under the Bill is question, by the various anti multiplied -precau tions which it contains? Assuming, what was not denied by the Noble Lord, that the intellect, of his Majesty is as vigorous as ever, it - would seem that there is no alternative for the nation, between a sig nature by command (If the King, to l e executed in his Majesty's own presence, and a total stoppage of every act of the Royal authority, however indispen sable and pressing. Noble Lords talked, as does the Bill, of its enduring until the next Session of Parliament, and of its being repealed in this ! Me lancholy, though decorous, phrases! The Bill has passed the House of Lords, and has also been read a first and second time in the House of Commons. —Times. " The Bishop of Lincoln has, we learn, been chosen Tutor of the young Princess Victoria, and is ex pected shortly to vacate the Mastership of College, which he now holds, in order to enter upon his new duties.

The Birmingham Monster, in the shape of a Pri vate Bill, for re-enacting the Test and Corporation Acts, and Catholic Disabilities, by rendering ineli gible, in the year 1830, one-half of the inhabitants of the town to the office of Governor of the Free School—a right hitherto alWays enjoyed—received, last night its first and mortal blon. The obnoxious clause has been withdrawn by its parents, the Go vetnors ; and a more ill-begotten or monstrous pro duction never issued from the prolific womb of in tolerance. Lord Calthorpe presented a petition from the aggregate body of Dissenters in Birming ham; signed by upwards of six thousand persons in forty-eight hours, against this felonious attempt to disfranchise them of the invaluable trust of Public Education; and stated his satisfaction in being able to communicate to the House the fele de se of the Governors. Lord Grey presented a second petition from the general body of inhabitants, . signed by the most influential Members of the Established Church, atni-by the High and Low Bailiffs of the town, ex pressing their disgust at the revival of such obsolete proscriptions; strongly impugning the secret course of conduct pursued by the Governors, and repre senting the expediency of obtaining some addition to the constitution of a body so palpably deficient in it's component parts to the execution of their trust ; also strongly urging the expediency of an annual publication of the receipts a n d ex penditure of the Charity Funds, and of a com pulsory clause to fill up vacancies in the executive body within six months. Lord Eldon took the op portunity of representing that in the rase of a charity where the Lord Chancellor was visitor, and where a scheme was approved by him, any . alterations made in Parliament must - be subsequently submitted to the approval of the omnipotent jurisdiction of Equity. With the shrewd object and chicanery of this position we have nothing to do. Lord Eldon may be permitted to cling to the remains of his jea lousy for his late judicial power : but Mat must in deed be a sorry piece of bigotry, for which Lord Eldon could find no justification. Lord Lyndhurst significantly replied.to the observation of his prede cessor, that the Master's Report of the sweme of the Governors was pro forma confirmed by s him on the, consent of Counsel; that his notice was not directed to the device of exclusion contained in the scheme; but that if the Committee on the Bill should repudiate the obnoxious clause, it would certainly receive his repudiation also. -If Lord Lyndhurst should have his attention directed to the Report of the Charity Commissioners on the Bid. minghatn Free Grammar School, and the conduct of these immaculate Governors (so jealous over much for the interests of the Church) be may .de rive some knowledge, e.specially when it shall he further stated to him that the equity proceedings of the Governors were instituted in a 'friendly suit among themselves, studiously kept secret in its pro grels and result from every inhabitant not a Mem ber of the Divan. Lord Lyndhurst may then be of opinion, that the real persons interested in the trust, viz.—the inhabitants—are entitled to a hear ing, and to some influence on the merits of the pro jects of the Governors, and of the present exigen cies of the town in regard to popular education. The monster should be closely watched in every move.---Morning Chronicle. A pamphlet has just been published, of peculiar importance at the present moment, from the light which it throws on the question of the boundaries of Greece. We allude to " The Observations on an eligible line of frontier for Greece, as an Inde pendent State, by Lieutenant-General Sir Richard Church, late Generalissimo of Greece, with Prefaee.by the Right Hon. R. Wilmot Horton, IM-P-"• Mr. W. Horton tells us in the Preface, that he received these observations.from his brother in-law, General Church, on Thursday, the 13th of . May, and that the unexpected:communication made on Monday to :the two Houses has left him no al ternative but to give publicity to them. He has published also a letter addressed to him by General " I remain, my dear Wilinot, " Your affectionate brother, " R. CHURCH.' " P.S. These few lines are written in my way from Egina to Argos and Napoli di Romania." Every one who knows anything of the recent pro ceedings in Greece is aware that General Church, ,however ardent Iris wishes for the country to which he rendered such efficient services, is the last man in the world to be influenced by Count Capo d' Istria, whose conduct he has all along con demned, and of whom, in these observations, he speaks very unfavourably. If, therefore, Count Capo d'lstria had his own game to play, General Church is not one who would choose to forward his views. Lord Aberdeen and friends have insi nuated that the dissatisfaction of the Greeks with the frontier assigned to them was the result of an intrigue of the Count. But General Church, in his observations, states t hat the conduct of the Count has been chiefly blameable in not exerting himself with sufficient energy to obtain a better frontier; and he doe's not hesitate to attribute this conduct to an article of the Pretccol of the 22d March, which made it probable that Count Capo trlstria could not remain much longer President of Greece, and very improbable that he should become her constitutional Sovereign. The news respecting the limits have, according to General Church, strengthened the President, by causing those who desired the arrival of Prince Leopold to be looked on as traitors to their country. " A great fermentation is already working," he says, " on people's minds, since the arrival of the news respecting the ; and even the men moat distinguished for pa triotism who opposed the despotic measures_of the. Presilent, and %rho heartily desire the arrival of the Prince, and the establishment of the new Govern ment, which promises to Greece guarantees for her civil liberties, are looked upon in sonic measure (through Coe intrigues of those opposed to them) as acceding to the cession of the Etolian and Acar nanian provinces." The arrival of Prince Leopold, connected as it would have been with the cession of its best Provinces, • could only have been viewed by the Greeks as their death-warrant. The inteh - ligence of the choice of the Prince, observes the General, " created universal joy throughout Greece in the breast of every man capable of estimating the . difference between Greece as a constitutional king dom, and Greece as tin insignificant province, go verned upon Machiavelian principles. It cannot be doubted, then, that the arrival of a Prince, who was to effect such an important change in her destiny, would be baled with joy by all true friends of their country; out the latter bad never contemplated the possibility of the Prince being placed in so painful a situation on coming to Greece, as that in which the cession of the provinces between the Aspro-Po tamos and the Gulph of Aria will place him. The joy, therefore, which had previously manifested itself is deeply mixed with consternation ; and many of the most distinguished of the Greeks, who have best served their country in- civil and military.situa dons, and who, during the memorable siege of Mis solonghi, signed en address of in' nation to Prince Leopold, offering him the sovereignty of their country, will find. themselves, most probably before long, either without a country, or obliged to sub mit to the Turkish yoke." Can we wonder, then, that Prince Leopold should reject a sovereignty, looked on by the people as the consummation of their ruin ? To a nobleman like Lord Aberdeen, a proficient in the Metternich school, it may appear in a Sovereign unreasonably scrupulous that he should concerti himself with the feelings of his sub jects with regard to him. Indeed, as the fashion has been of late to force Sovereigns on nations against their will, perhaps the dissatisfaction of the Greeks appeared to his Lordship to constitute an additional inducement to the Prince to become Ruler of Greece. But why are Greeks so dissatisfied with the frontier assigned to them ? In the first place; according to General Church, the people of Acarnania and Etolia, the provinces to be given up, are the best of the Greeks. Greece has . drawn from thence her best soldiers. General Church's army was almost exclusively composed of them. `1 hen the line of frontier is full of such errors' as placing mountains where there are not even hills, and plains and rivers where there are mountains.— Then the frontier is one which cannot be defended. The Turks may overrun Greece within the limits in question when they choose, and " the person of her Sovereign will be in danger in a morning's ride from Missolonglii or Salona," a circumstance not be neath the consideration of the Sovereign. "Every military than acquainted with Greece (says the Ge neral) and the events of the late war, knows that the . principal points from whence the Turks have always operated against Greece, have been Volo and Zeitouni against Eastern Greece, and Arta and Caravassara against . Western Greece, and that the Greeks could never hold the Thermopylae when the Turks are masters of Macrin-Oros, to which Caravassara is the most important entrance and the citadel. . . . The peace of Europe, the prevention of hostilities between Greece and Turkey, and the permanent establishment of the 'former as an independent country, seem to be the principal objects which the Allied Powers have in view in their negotiations relative to Greece and Turkey. I feel that I have acquitted myself of a most sacred duty to my own country,.perhaps to Europe in general, arid particu larly to Greece, in drawing up (for the information of those who have to decide the question) this report, every word of which is founded on personal experience acquired in Greece, and in the command of her armies. I am bound still farther to satisfy my own .conscience, to declare most solemnly that Greece cannot defend her political existence and independence, or maintain order in the country — that neither, Turks nor Greeks can prevent blood shed on their borders,—and that the peace between the two countries, and perhaps. that of Europe, will be seriously endangered, iiot that,etadangered on oneiftheld inesiofef: of therontiergi;lue to t ..) There can be no doubt but that Prince Leopold's ' ultimate refusal to • take upon himself the regal office in Greece places the British Government not only in an awkward, but, as Lord Holland justly describes it, a" most ludicrous" situation. What , ever may have been the true reasons which led to Prince Leopold's nomination to this doubtful dig nity, and to his Royal Highness's final rejection of it, the people of England have good reason to look upon the Prince's " second thoughts" as " the best." In most political transactions there is gene rally so much of mystery and intrigue involved, that there is no safe way of looking at them Nit through their result. On this occasion there is a wonderful show of readiness to give all possible ex planation, and to keep back no one paper which will throw the smallest light upon the matter. But, to say nothing of the fact of all this apparent candour and openness coming at the " eleventh hour," when it is too late to be of any use but as furnishing materials for history, it is worth remarking, that obscurity and uncertainty meet one at the. very threshhold of the inquiry. To the very natural . question of " Who first suggested Prince Leopold to the Sovereignty of Greece ?" no specific an swtr is to be found in any of the documents which we have seen. It is stated, to be sure, that the pro posal cime from the other Governments—not from ours. But proposal and suggestion are very different things, and it requires no great experience in the intrigues - and mystery of diplomacy, to know that it was no uncommon thing for outward appearances to bear the very contrary stamp to truth. - On this one point alone various contradictory assertions are afloat. One, for instance, gives out that the Prince's nomination to the high office was entirely of his own seeking;. another, that it was the result of a deep-laid intrigne„ to put him out of the way here; a third imputes it to a wish on the part of France and Russia to thro a' the whole odium of the transac tion, both in the eyes of the Porte and of the Greeks thetnselves upon this country. But these and other rumours are now scarcely worth unravelling. Judging, as we have already said, by the resulr, the people of England have reason to be Ivell pleated, and instead of troubling themselves with the fabulous part of the affair, should rest contented that they have the prospect of being now spared some of the distressing realities which would have, in all probability, en sued from a.different termination of this ill-advised project.—Morhing Herald. The 64( 1 reading of the Forgery Bill stands for this evening, though whether it will actually come on is contingent, as both parties thought it advisable that the discussion, when it does take place, should commence at an early period of the night, and other business, which may, probably, occupy much time, stands before it. We are informed that Sir Robert Peel, when he fixed the order for to-day, remarked tilos-, as his object was to afford Sir James 'Mac intosh, and the other opponents- of the Bill, an op portunity of debating the subject again, if there could not be the discussion this evening, he would, as a matter of course, consent to a further postpone ment of the measure. It will be recollected that, in the Committee, the clause for abolishing capital punishment was negatived only by a majority of 15, notwithstanding the influence of the Minister. Upon that occasion several Members stayed away from ae debate, who, if they had been present, would, as we are informed, have supported the proposition of Sir J. Macintosh. It is to be hoped, whenever the final dis cussion does come on, that the published li•ts of the voters will show that the representatives of the nu merous places which have petitioned Parliament against the sanguinary spirit of the law, shall have not only discharged their individual duty, but have acceded to the wishes of their constituents co this important question—not a question affecting a small class, nor affecting property and liberty only, but life itself! We have repeatedly expressed our opi- Rion on this subject, and given our reasons for that opinion. We have dwelt upon it, because we have observed that, in spite of reason, and argument, and fact, all combining to show the present law to be as inefficient as it is cruel—the same stale and often refuted sophisms continue to be urged in defence of a principle of legislation which is a disgrace to an enlightened nation and a civilized age. We trust that the advocates,' not of a cruel and vindictive, but of a just, rational, and effective system of punishment, will meet with that support in their laudable exortions which shall redeem the :'British people and the British Parliament from the reproach of being satisfied with the barbarous pre-eminence of possessing what Sir Robert Peel has, in his place in the House of Commons, declared to be " the most sanguinary code of any cc , 6ntry in Europe !" Morning Herald. DESCRIPTION OF ALGIERS, AND ANEC- DOTES OF THE DEY. (From the Intelligence.) The view of Algiers from the sea' is one of those beautiful scenes - to which the pen can scarcely hope to do justice. At a distance the town appears like a chalk mound - in the midst of an amphitheatre of green mountains; a little nearer, its square towers, mosques, and minarets become distinguishable, ris ing above each other like a fight of steps from the water's edge to the summit of the mountain. Right and left -spread undulating heights, whose luxuriant verdure, interspe-sed with gay kiosks, forms an agreeable contrast to the tiring glare of the white houses. In the back ground are still loftier hills, whose sterile tops give another variety to the picture. But whatever attractio n the city may offer at a distance, the illusion entirely vanishes on setting foot on shore; The streets are narrow and filthy, and there are no buildings of importance, barracks of the Janissaries (about 6000 in number, the the only regular troops belongingsave the Dey), the mosques, and the Dey's palace. The Mole, which forms the harbour, runs above 1,400 paces rnto the sea, and is built on a ledge of rocks, within which the navy is all secured in case of attack. The labour of European engineers since the siege by Lord Ex mouth, has rendered this part of -the fortifications unassailable, and leaves little hope of auk other com mander's being able to lay his vessel in the position taken up by the QUCC7I C'harlotte. From the Alcapaba, or citadel, at the apex of the mountain, the Dey may command all the operations of defence. Within this castle he can also retire, in . ca se of a siege, in order to protract his means to t he last, as well as to shelter himself from the violence of the vacillating Janissaries, who ..would In as ready. to. their swords against the Dry . himself, as against the enemy, in case of any proba bility of defeat. From the sea, Algiers may bo.considered impreg nable; and able to defy the menaces of any maritime expedition whatever. England, the only nation which corn boast of ever having intimidated this Re gency, is fully aware of this' truth, and of 'the difffit, citifies, even with her means, of ever again making an impression by.. bombardment on a fortification which mounts 1,200 pieces of cannon, and where the attacking party must be exposed tti such dis proportionate risks. A land force to reduce this place is more likely to be. attended with success, if undertaken on a sufficient scale in the spring of the year, and pushed on with vigour. The old Moorish walls, east and west of the city, are nearly inde fensible, and present but little difficulty to a de termined army, well supplied with a train of artillery. The landing, which should be .made in the imme diate neighbourhood of Algiers, would doubtless meet with some opposition, and would have to con tend, With hosts.of Arab foes, of which the Dey can easily raise 200,000 amongst the Bedouins and Koheylls, every subject of this • Regency being obliged to bear arms ; but their troops are mostly mountaineers, and would' yield to the superior ma noeuvres and tactics of an European force. The first 'shock successfully sustained, the farther pro gress of an invading army becomes almost certain. The allegiance of the Dry of Algiers to the Otte min Porte has been at all times too equivocal to suppose that Turkey could have any influence over the conduct or policy of the Dey. It is thrown aside at pleasure, although formally kept up by the payment of u triennial tribute, for which each new Pacha rt ceiveS the cattail, or pelisse of honour, and . some presents in return. A circumstance which occurred, not many years ago, may serve to show the small influence of Turkey over the Regency. Applica tion was made by the English Government to the Sultan of Turkey, to put a stop to some unprovoked annoyances against the Italian States by a late Dry of Algiers. A new Pacha of three tails was in con sequence appointed to supersede the reigning one, and despatched with a firman to take possession of the Regency. On arrival, however, of the new candidate for power at the island of Candia, he re ceived a message from the reigning Pacha to halt, as in case he attempted to set foot in Algiers, his !load would pay the forfeit of his temerity.. The same fate awaited the new Pacha if he attempted to return to Constantinople without fulfilling the Sultan's orders. In this dilemma he threw himself on the protection of the British Consul at Ctudia, who having represented the hardship of his situa tion to the Great Sultan, the Turk was at • last allowed by the Consul's mediation to return to this country. _ _ The Turks, However, (of which the Janissaries are mostly composed) assume an insolence and de meanour at Algiers, which the distant homage can scarcely be supposed to tolerate. • " I am a Turk," is an answer which often screens the . respondent from a punishment which would be sure to fall on a Moor. The authority of the Dey himself is curbed, and his conduct regulated by a handful of Janissaries, the refuse of the streeti of Constanti nople and Surgena ;_ to them he is, in turn, a slave. The Dey 's often compelled to acts which may be ascribed to their influence alone, and compelled to make war, or sue for peace, according to their de termination. It is. the trade of a Dey of Algiers to be at ‘var; if he fail to declare hostilities when alair opening, is presented, it is considered a robbery of their perquisite=, arid a contravention of the treaty by which he is supposed to govern; 'if perchance he comes out of a war unsuccessfully, a certain death awaits him; of this course of things the present Der of Algiers, Hassan Paella, seems perfectly aware; I have often heard him express his senti ments on the subject of death—he is a most decided fatalist, and contemplates the end of life most phi losophically. Should he die a natural death, a thing of rare occurrence in the annals of their history, his favourite; the minister of marine, will succeed to the throne. _ The custom of paying tribute to the Algerines is certainly disgusting, and requires the intervention of extraordinary powers to be generally abolished. In )825, the English frigate, the Lovely, Captain Elliott, was despatched from the Tagus with the arrear of tribute money due from Portugal to Algiers. At this interview, at which I was present, his High ness the Pacha insisted on " his bond," and pro tested against the pleaded mitigation of damages, notwithstanding the impoverished state Of the Po:- tuguese treasury, the loss of the Brazis, and the great length of time that country had been the arena of a contending enemy. " For the love of one person" present, his highness relaxed a wall part of his demand, with the condition that the Portu guese should forthwith establish a Consul in that. city, which is considered a hostage for the regular payment of tribute. His Highness Hassan Pacha, previous to the de parture of the embassy, presented the usual compli ment of lions, ostriches, Bze. The ostriches arrived' at the house in which the embassy resided totally naked, having suddenly moulted all their fine feathers; certain traces - - of blood left little doubt that this operation of nature had been facilitated by the good-natured Moors who conveyed them. Don Juan the Vl.th's Menagerie was thus deprived of their feathered or rather featherless beasts, and the ! Infaina of-Portugal of some fine plumes, for in con sequence of this robbery, part of the ostriches - died on their passage, the surviving ones were landed at Gibraltar, th , it dubious state of health' rendering it nt cessary to send them on shore; here•they were met by some experimental philosopher, who recol lecting the old saying, that " ostriches could digest any thing," gave them a dinner of oakum, of which they died. On post mortem examination' it was found oakum did not agree with their stomachs, which may perhaps pardon this episode, and save the necessity of any other such experiment on these animals. To shew the species of subjection to which the Algerines would reduce the whole world, I shall mention one anecdote, which occurred during my stay here, and which may be considered a. fair sample of their policy. The Captain of the port arrived.,ene morning in great haste at the house of -the Miebelacei, or Minister of Marine, to report the appearance of a tri-coloured flag in the roadstead. The Mini,ter in astonishment looked over his list of flags, but in vain could he find anything of the sort reported, and began to suspect another revolution had broken out in France; the arrival of the Spanish Consul, however, in a great rage, soon cleared up the mystery; it was a Columbian privateer with a Spanish prize, making for the Mole. "- Oh, oh !" exclaimed the Michelacci, " I see how it is; it is one of those bastard Powers who have no Consuls in any part of the world, I must teach them proper respect for our nation." The Captain of the priva teer soon landed and claimed permission to sell his_ prize ? The Spanish ( onsul, reckoning on the f a vourable disposition of the Algerine Minister, made sure the Columbian was about to fall into his power, and urged the detention of the vessel as a forfeiture to the Spanish Monarch ; the wily Moor,. who, upon reflection, saw no advantage to be gained by such a step, began to weigh the probabilities of getting a new customer with the threatened dis pleasure. of the Consul, and deciding against the latter, suddenly changed his tone. He now treated the privateer Captain with great politeness, giving him, however, to understand, "that according to the law of nations he deserved to be condemned as a pirate, but that the Dey being a liberal and en lightened Prince, would disregard the origin of their Government, provided the Colombians would establish a Consul at Algiers, and. pay tribute like all legitimate monarchs." The Columbian Was finally dismissed. to return to his country with tile Michelacci's propositiOn, till the. which was complied w i t h, he was informed the Columbians riot sell their prizes in the .ports of Barbary, nor even rely on the general usage of getting a supply of pro visions and water.

On Sunday morning last a pleasure heat belonging to a white smith named John Simpson, of Lancaster, left that place with about 20 passengers on board, for Sunderland, where they arrived safe. In the latter. part of the day, a vissel called the Louisa packet, from T. initial, anchored off the•coast, and t'ae crew of the pleasure boat, expecting to hear from or see some of their friends, determined to g o on board the packet. The sea at that time was in a . very violent state, and the boat' s com p an y were s t rong ly recom mended by the pilots not to venture out. They, however, set sail with fifteen personson board, and they had not pro ceeded far when they got on a sand hank, and it was not without some difficulty that she was pushed off. They then went at a most rapid rate before the wind a considerable dis tance, and.suoldenly came in contact with a buoy, against which the boat was driven with so violence, that the keel started front the garbord streak... The peak and mainsail were. then lowered, and the boat was turned round, and set in for Sunderland Banks. She coniinued beating against wind and tide snout twenty minutes, and then fell over, keel uppermost. Several boats immediately put off from shore to render -assistance, but the whole .of the fifteen persons had perished before they arrived. Two of the dead bodies. were found p trtly buried in the sand, and it is supposed that the others have been washed out to sea. The following is a correct list of the. sufferers : John Simian], 19, an apprentice; Robert Caton, lett a widow and three small children; Edward Duct lon, a young unmarried min '; Robert Tomlinson, unmarried ; Taylor, unmarried ; John Hartley ; William Braith waite and -John Bosch, two boys, 12 years of age, who had run away from school Thomas Wilkinson, un married ; Thomas Hewardson and William Hethersail, two boys, aged 12 ; William Downey; aged 17 ; Dobson, aged 20 ; and Thomas Park and John Sd keld, unmarried.

SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.—On Mon day a gentleman, in walking along the road from the bot tom of Pitt-street to Canomnills observed the fingers of a human band above the water, in the mill-lea near the loch. On getting hold of the hand it proited to be attached to an arm, supposed to be that of a female, apparently sepa rated from the body at the shoulder. It appeared to have been in the water for some time; and is conjec ture! to have been thrown t':ere by slue dissecti.r.— A number of persons immediately . commenced fishing in the loch, expecting .to drag out the bogy, but so far us we could learn no other portion of a WIT was found. It is said, however, that some female wearing apparel tied up was found, and a silk bag, in which was two shillings. It is probable the water of the loch will be taken off, co as to enable a more minute search to be made. Various 'ru mours are in circulation of a holy having been found, which on inquiry we have ascertained to be without any fuundation.—Edinburgh Evening Courant. SOUTHALL MARKET.—May 23.

Church, " which he should not have thought it necessary to publish, notwithstanding : his request, had not the period of his receiving this letter, and its enclosure, precisely tallied with 'the . resignation of the Sovereignty of Greece on the:part of Prince Leopold." The following is the letter " Epid a urus, 14th 1830. . ".MY DEAR Witatar,--To whom Can 'I ;0 . -properly confide the accompanying report:as to you? .Unintluenced as I am by . the spirit of party, in any country, but deeply interested itl the fate of Greece, and closely connected with her, as having served in her armies, and witnessed particularly the glorious . : effoits. of the men of Western Greece, shedding th;ir -blond rprofuse'y for the general li beration of the nation, it cannot be Supposed that I can be indifferent to the fate of the latter at this moment, and of Greece herself, when definitive arrangements arc abaut to be concluded for the eStabliShment of this country as an independent'State ; but which arrangements, if car ried into execution as is repotted, will deprive of freedom, to which they have so just a right, the most deserving of the Greeks ; will leave Greece without a defensible fron tier, and will make her Sovereign of less importance, in point of extent of territory, than . a Roumili Valissy, and less powerful, in point of military strength and position, than a Pacha of Joannina or of Scutari. " As a frontier, the Thermopylw has long ceased to be such. The celebrity which this pass owes to the glorious dealt of Leonidas, and to Xerxes having confined his rye ralions to the Etstern shorts of Greece, will not be suffi cient to defend modem Greece as an independent king dom. It is in the union of the Thermopylae and the Macrin-Oros, as her frontier, that site can alone find safety; and it is well known that the road of Epirus is thA which she has to dread in our day, the concentrating point of which, as well as that of Thtssaly, is Joannina " I have to beg of you to have the Report printed, toge•- tlter with this letter, for the information of Parliament and of his Majesty's Ministers, who would not, perhaps. disdain correct information on this important subject. You may have an opportunity of presenting it to Prince Leo pold, if he has not already left England. About to return to England, after a painful absence of above three years, I feel myself obliged, by a feeling which I cannot overcome, to retrain in this country until the final settlement of the important question of her frontiers. To you, then, and to your generous exertions I commit the Report ; and, be lieve me, that every noble effort that you make towards the accomplishment of the object of it, will bind still stronger those ties of friendship by which I am already bound to you. crin-Oros, which she at this moment holds, and on the other, of Thermopylte, including line. the strong positions 'of Tatragik, -,Carpe nitza. and the district of Agrapha. It is , '-the Niacrin-Oros which defends Greece from all :Al bania, the country from which she has. most to.fear. It has been the road of every formidable invading army, who,' after concentrating their forces in Joan - - nina and Arta, have proceeded over the Macrin- Oros, spreading fire and bloodshed.. We have lately witnessed the expulsion of ReSchid Krinitaki, the most ferocious of all the Ttirkish Pachas, from the Macriti-Oros. God grant that no PaCha.mar ever enter the gateS lately erected by the Greek troops across the . roads of this important mountain ! If this- frontier is given up to,the Turks, the Isthmus of Corinth becomes in reality the frontier of inde pendent Greece." ttt the line for which General Church contends, and far beyond it, the Cantons of Agrapha and the Province of Aspro-Potamos ' are in the peaceable possession of the Greeks ; and the passes of the Macrin-Ores are fortified. " Such is the line of frontier which Greece at present bohli ; and I doubt if the Turks themselves wish to come again within that line, for they were more masters of Acarnania de facto, and they have a proverb which says—' All. Roumili is for the Turks, bur Karlin—no.' Those that are acquainted . with this country know that Karlili • is Acarnania and part of F:tolia." So much for the geographical blunders of the Allies, and the indignation of 'the British Ministry because Prince Leopold will not'eonsent to become the victim of them, after knowing the sort of welcome he would receive.—Morning Chronicle. E 5: :PAPERS RELA'ANG TO GREECE. (FURTHER EXTRACTS.)., INSTRUCTIONS TO THE RESIDENTS OF THE ALLIES IN GREECE. I have the honour to transmit to .you the three an nexed Pretoca's, which will. put you in possession of the measures adopted by the conference for the completion of the work of peace, the principal bases of which are !aid down in the Protocol, No. 1, of the 3d of February, of this year. Of these three documents the two first comprise the mo tives which have actuated the Alliance in offering to the Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg the Sovereignty of Greece, and the proposal which has in consequenoe been made to him. The third records the acceptanc e of th a t proposal by his Royal . lfighness, and the decisions of the conference upon the wishes expressed by that Pricce on declaring his acceptance. The Protocols in question are intended only for your private information. But it will he your duty, Sir, to communicate, without delay, to the Provisional Government of Greece _the .iin portant provisions of these acts, so deeply interesting to the future destinies of the country. You will therefore, in the first place, announce to the Greek GovernMent in con cert with your colleagues of . . . and of , that, in deciding upon a Sovereign for the new State, the choice of the Alliance his fallen upon the Prince Leopold of Sore Coburg. The personal qualities of that Prince, the circumstances of his rank and station, appeared to the three Powers to offer every desirable guarantee. They therefore trust, that the Greeks will receive him, as their Sovereign with gratitude, and that they will view this cloice on the part of the Alliance as a f - esh proof of its friendly devotion to their interests. The solicitude of the High Powers for the welfare of the Greeks is not limited to the present moment. It is with the view of giving additional strength 'to the an thority by which the Greeks are to he governed that the 4th and sth clauses of the list Protocc.l have been framed. The Residents of the three Courts iire charged with the duty of notifying to the Provisional Government the measures provided by. those two clauses. They will further state, that until the arrival of Prince Leopold in Greece, the relations established between the existing Go vernment of that country and the Alliance will be main tained on their present footing. • (Signed) ABERDEEN. MONTM ORENCY-L A VAL. LIE VEN. PROTOCOL OF THE CONFERENCE HELD AT THE roll:T.l°N OFFICE ON THE 14TH OF MAY, 1830. PRESENT-THE PLENIPOTENTIARIES OF GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCE, AND POLICE INTELLIGENCE. UNION-HAW An elderiy gentleman 'came bef"re the Magistrate and applied for a warrant against an individual who had forci bly carried off his daughter on the preCeding . night. She had, he said, just attained •her 19th year, and the indivi dual by whom she was suspected to be harboured was • a • married man. • lle was first introduced to thefainily at a party, and afterwards was observed to pay particular at tention to' his danghter. On this discovery the applicant made some inquiries, and ascertained that he was a mar ried man, when he Was instantly forbid the house'; but since then he had been seen lurking llout, and on tt - •e pre ceding- night he succeeded in forcibly carrying away eon!, plainatie! &tighter, while he was absent from home. " have, however, (added tl►e applicant), found nut where he • has taken niy girl to, and . my wish in applying for a war rant on this-occasion is to prevent the peace being broken in regaining possession of my Chiid." The'Alagistrate said a warrant could not be granted against the complained of, unless it could he proved that a forcible abduction bad taken place. He would allow one of the officers to accompany the applicant to the house where the young lady resided. The Chief Constable said,' that he found the parties to gether very comfOrtably situated at a lady's seminary, Union -street, Vauxhall. Ween he made his appearance at the house, and told them his business, both the appli cant's daughter and the gentleman seemed much affected, and appea►ed unwilling to part, especially the young lady, who . repeatedly embraced the object of her affections, de ckling that it was almost death to her to be taken from his presence. , When at the office the lovers could scarcely be prevented from falling into each other's arms. The MAGIsTRATE asked whether the young lady liad abandoned home of her own accord?—She replied in the affirmative, and declined returning to her father's house. The man stated, in reply to the Magistrate's questimis that he was married, but that his wife and he were Lying apart. Mr. SIVABEY recommended the applicant to take his daughter home in a coach ; and warned the young man to keep away from his how.' • The scene that here took place was beyond description. The.young lady gave a scream of anguish, and was con veyed out of the office, apparently in a swoon, and placed in a catch ; while the diselmsolate•lover paced to and fro the office apparently much agitated at the re'ult of ti.e hearing.
