THE 'SUN. 301.}:31 OUTS DICERB F.4LSUM dUDEAT? LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1821. Paris:Papers of Sunday an'l Monday arrived this morning. The accounts from Vienna, rela tive to the affairs of Turkey, are very unfavour able to the cause of the Greek Insurrection.— . Letters from: Jassy of the 13th of April state, that as soon 'as the determination of the Empe rors of AUSTRIA and RUSSIA not to interfere in the insurrection in Moldavia and Walachia was known there, the Boyards, with the Archbishop at their head, waited on the reigning Hospodor, Mientt. Suzzo, and desired him to leave Jassy immediately. The Prince lef t his capital with his family and suite, and took the road to Bessarabia, carrying with him the military chest of the Greek insurrection. After the de parture of the Prince a Council was held, and it • was proposed to send a deputation to the PORTE to represent to his Highness, that the Molda ' vians had not taken arms against their lawful Sovereign, and that MICHEL Suzzo was alone guilty ; also to request that a new Hospodar might be appointed. The Moldavian Council - have likewise undertaken to put down the insurgents in that principality, and have en treated that no Turkish Troops may be sent to Moldavia. The intelligence frOm Bucharest is of the same afflicting nature. No cordial -union is said to have taken place between Prince Yrsi- LANTI and THEODORE, the latter confining his efforts, to the redress of grievances in the princi pality of Walachia. It is added that the Boyards at Bucharest, in concert with THEODORE, have forwarded a fresh application to Constantinople, by express, to obtain that object. The Emperor of AUSTRIA is expected at.Scho bnbrunn on the 20th instant, and the Emperor ALEXANDER, it is said, will return to Russia by the way of Hungary. Prince ESTERHAZY DE GALA NTA has been appointed Ambassador Ex traordinary, on the part of Austria, to be present at the Coronation of the King of ENGLAND, and to congratulate his MAJESTY on the occasion. An article from Frankfort states, that the War - Department at Petersburgh have lately issued orders for the march of considerable bodies of troops. Two 'Armies of Reserve are to be stationed on the Eastern frontiers of Poland ; another is to assemble on the Dwina, under Baron SACK EN ; and a third in Volhynia, under Prince - WirroENsrersr. Austria and Russia, it is reiterated, have solemnly pledged themselves not to take advantage of the insurrection in Tur key for the purposes of aggrandisement ; but, in case of necessity, the Austrian Army of Observa tion, forming on the Eastern frontiers, will act in conjunction with the Russian army under Prince WITTGENSTEIN. ,Letters from Naples, received at Frankfort, contain the important' intelligence that the Chevalier d'ONrs, Ambassador froin Spain to his Sicilian Majesty, has received his passports to quit, that capital. The Spanish ships of war, the Warrior and Pearl, have at the same time been ordered to quit the Bay of Naples. A private letter from Naples mentions the ar rest of several individuals, among whom are BOR RELLI, Ex-President General COLLET T A Ex- Minister of War, General PETRINEL LI, Ex-Go vernor of Naples, and - General VARRO. The general disarming of the Neapolitans is carried on without intermission. Four- persons were taken into custody as they were proceeding to take refuge on board a Spanish vessel ; and one. of them it is supposed will be condemned to death, as he was the bearer of a Patent of Car bonaro. The domestic affairs of Spain appear to be in a very unquiet state. The band of MERINO is said to lie very numerous, and daily increasing, and the peasantry from Burgos to Vittoria are represented to be warmly attached to his cause. All the troops in Castille are marching against him. The EMPECINADO left Lerma on the 29th April with 300 infantry, and 150,cavalry ; the Governor of Valladolid is marching forward with 5 or 600 troops, and other divisions are ad vancing from other quarters. RIEGO has left Sarragossa, and is proceeding to the theatre of war by the way of Lyons. Every ex ertion is making to suppress this formidable partizan. Other parts of Spain are also infested with various bands of rebels, who have defaced or destroyed the Courtitutional pillars, which had been erected in several towns. FR ('ti CH FUNDS. May 12, Five per Cents. . Bank Stock.. 83 f. 65 c. 1136" f. 60 c. Spanish Papers to the 3d inst. at riled this morning. The following are the chief contents : " CADIZ, APRIL 24. " Our Mercantile Diary contains several dispatches, extract ed from the Extraordinary Gazette of Chili, of the 4th of De cember, giving an account of the taking of the Esmeralda frigate by Lord Cochrane. " BARCELONA, APRIL 23. " General William Pepe daily receives deputations from all the ladies of this city, who go to prove the interest they feel in his misfortune, and the hospitality which he may expect in his new country, till his own.shall be worthy of such a hero. " MADRID, MAY 1. " It is ten o'clock at night, and we have just learned, in the club of La Fontana, noble principles have been proclaimed The cries of Union and Fraternity resounded in that assembly, and delighted the cars of all friends of order. " MADRID, MAY 2. " The ceremony of laying the first stone of the Monument which is to be erected in the Prado, to the Martyrs of the of May, heightened to-day the pomp of the funeral "solemnity in honor of the heroic founders of our liberty. The appearance of the brave men who compose the garrison of Madrid, the composed and decorous behaviour of the numerous spectators, the l a reneral mourn', _g, and lastly, the expression of grief and of gratitude upon every countenance ; such was the scene that the Prado offered this morning. It is delightful to die for the Country when it so generously rewards the sacrifices of its children." We refrained from all comments on the unfor. innate business at Manchester till the Debates on the subject were wholly concluded,—but we may now be permitted to say, that the daring preparations made by the Rioters, the confident expectations which they had evidently formed, and the ferocious violence to which they proceed ed, were' sufficient to excite the most serious alarm throughout the country. In such a situation it was difficult to know how to act. The Magis trates,in this perplexing extremity,resorted to legal council, and, by the authority of the advice which 'they had received, they prepared, as it was their duty to do, civil and military a.sistance in order to meet the danger. The private accounts, which we received soon after, from the most authentic and respectable eye-witnesses, wholly unin fluenced by party feelings, and which we com municated at the time through the medium of THE SUN, fully confirmed the danger. Common sense is convinced, however humanity must de plore, that the mob provoked what they suffered, and that many of the disasters which befel innocent people were the consequence of their own folly in venturing into such scenes of turbu lence, riot, and rebellion. We hope that the discussion has now finally closed, and that mea sures will be taken to remove or punish those who place in Shop-windows a large Print of the nn fortunate event in question,representing the Mili tary in acts of the most savage barbarity, and which every day serves to disturb and mislead the minds of many thousand spectators. Advices from Rio Janeiro, of so late a date as the. 21st of March, arrived yesterday. They announce the important fact of the final determi nation of the King of PORTUGAL, to return to Lis bon. The decree issued upon this subject is dated the 7th of March, and the 12th of April was the day fixed for his MAJESTY'S departure. The reason assigned for this resolution on the part of the KING was the propriety of his MA= JET being at the seat of Government to give facility to the laws and to the different enact ments of the Cortes. The whole of the Royal Family are to return, except the PRINCE, who is to remain as Viceroy.=Private letters inform us, that in consequence of this event, property in general had 'become greatly depreciated in value at Rio Janeiro, and that the articles of consump tion had experienced so sudden a fall, that it was not likely the trade would for a long time re cover from the effect of the Measure. Hopes, however, seemed to be entertained by some that the KING might ultimately be prevailed upon to remain in Brazils ; or.that even in the event of his carrying his determination into effect, he would be induced shortly to return.—There were reports of a plot to assassinate the KING, but they were not considered as entitled to the slightest degree of credit. It was reported in the City this day, that a particular search had been made this morning at the General Post Office, in order to discover some suspected letters. We have been informed by a Gentleman who lately left St. Helena, that BUONAPARTE'S chief amusement is shooting the Wild Cats which abound in the Island, and that scarcely a day passes without his enjoying this recreation, though his attention is now much occupied with the new residence that has been erected for him. Lieutenant COCIntANE arrived at Plymouth on the 9th inst. from South America ; he is to be Flag Lieutenant to his father, Admiral the Hon. Sir A. J. COCHRANE. The public is already ac quainted with the circumstance under which this young Officer was severeLy wounded, in company with his friend, the Hon. Lieut. FINCH, by an attack of native robbers.

The John Taylor was to sail on the 7th January ' • the Duke of Lancaster oi A the 11th ; an d Albi on on the 14th, all for Liverpool. The following information relative to New South Shetland has been received at Liverpool, from the ON:trge, of that port, which has arrived at Cork The country is represented as most terrific, and the sea-coast abounding with dangers. The George left New South Shetland Feb.. 24. On the 23d she ex-. perienced a violent hurricane, in which she lost her anchors, all her boats, and great part of her sails, and was obliged to leave the coast as the only chance of saving their lives, akhough eight of the crew were on shore. It is feared that several vessels may have sufferedin the hurricane, which is said to have been tre mendous. The seals were not in such great numbers as had been represented, and:the breakers were so great that it was dan gerous to approach the shore in a boat." A Dutch vessel has been picked up near Egmond, by a fish erman, without the crew, a little leaky, and taken to Rotter—' dam ; it seems by her papers to be the Ilenderika, Ilugens, bound from London to Amsterdam, A Charlestown Paper, of the 1-Ith of April, says—" The Columbus, line.of battle ship, Commodore Bainbridge, will, it is expected, before her return to the United States, proceed to the Mediterranean on a special visit to Constanti no pl e . Thi s will be the second American man of war that ever an chored within the Dardanelles; and what.is more remarkable, Commodore BAINBRIDGE commanded the first fzigate that ever passed the Strait." FELONIOUS SINKING OF VESSELS, For the purpose of defrauding the Owners of the cargo e s, a nd the , Underwriters at LLOYD'S and Glasgow. [From the Glasgow Herald, of Monday, May. 14.1 HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY, IDINBITRGII. The Court met again this day (Saturday) at two o'clock,, when the Jury, delivered in a written verdict, finding M'Dou gall guilty at common law of procuring mariners to sink the vessel called the Friends, with the intent of defrauding the ' owners of the cargo and the underwriters. After hearing Mr. Murray in mitigation of punishment, the Judge Admiral pro nounced sentence, ordaining the pannel to be transported be yond seas for the period of his natural life.. There must have been considerable diversity of opinion in the Jury on this case, as they took three hours and a half to make up their verdict. Had M'POugall been brought in p,ruilty under the st a t u t e on w hi c h h e was i n di cte d , h e must have been sentenced to death; but the Jury having brought in a special verdict, only finding him guilty at common law, the pu nishment ceased to be capital, and banishment for life was the highest punishment the Judge conk! inflict. The following is the clause in the Act under which M'Dougall was indicted : " That if any owner of, or captain, master, officer, or ma riner, belonging to, any ship or vessel, shall, a f ter th e fi rst d ay of September, in the year 1789, wilfully cast away, burn, cr otherwise destroy the ship or vessel of which he is owner, or to which he belongeth, or in anywise direct or procure the same to be done, with intent or design to prejudice any person or persons that bath or shall underwrite any policy or policies of insurance thereon, or or any merchrtat or merchants that shall load goods therein, or of any owner or owners of such ship or vessel, the person or persons offending therein, being thereof lawfully con victed before any Court competent to the trial of such crimes, in that part of Great Britain called Scotland, shall suffer death, as in other cases of capital crimes." Two objections were taken to the applicability of the statute. The first was, thatthe Court had:not thebest possible evidence of M`Dougall being a partner in the vessel, the voucher present ed in proof of this material fact being a copy of the Ship's Register in place of the Register itself ; the second was, that the Act confines itself to " Owners," whereas M‘Hougall was only a part owner. The Jury found that M'Dougall's case did not come under the provisions of the Act, and accordingly re- ' stricted their verdict and saved his life. • After sentence was pronounced, the Court next proceeded to the trial of the same .John M'Dougall and Archibald 3l'Lach lan, for robbing and sinking the Mary, of Glasgow, in June last, when M'Lachlan pleaded Guilty, under the common law, and was sentenced to transportation for 1-4 years.—M'Dougall pleaded not guilty, and the diet was continued against him to the 11th of June.—lt is not supposed that the trial will be' proceeded with.- t.* The substance of thes:, Trials appeared . in TuE SUN o: Tuesday. THE ARMY. The Regiment of Loyal London Militia, under the command of Sir CLAUDIUS HUNTER, had yesterday morning a grand field-day in the Artillery Ground, in the presence of several officers .of distinction. They went through their evolutions, &c. much to the satisfaction of all present. The Hereford Militia meet on the 28th of May, for twenty_ one days training.

Yesterday the Duke of YORK, the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, the Princess A UGUSTA, and the Princess SDPHIA, visited the KING.—The Duke of YORK and the Princess AUGUSTA, and a nu merous party, dined with the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE yesterday.—Yesterday Princ Luo roLn dined with Earl DARNLEY 'to meet the noble directors of the Concert of Ancient Music; afterwards his Royal Highness accompanied their Lordships to the performance of the Concerti at 1 the Hanover:square Rooms. The LORD LIEUTENANT of Ireland landed at Liverpool'on Monday morning at eleven o'clock, from the William and Mary yacht, and proceeded immediately for Staffordshire.. His Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON has most generously transmitted one hundred guineas to the Treasurer of the Hampshire County Hospital. At the late Hants Sessions, GEORGE HoLms, Esq. was re-elected Treasurer to the County, for the year ensuing. The Bishop of Cl/ESTER intends, in the course of the ensuing summer, to visit every church and chaple in his Lordship's extensive diocese. FlRE.—Yesterday.morning, about half-past two o'clock, a fire broke out at the Three Horse-shoes public-house, in Pear-Tree -court, ClerkenWell-close, ,and raged with great violence, threatening destruction to all • the adjoining houses, which being very om, lave no party Walls ; but the flames were subdued after the house in which the fire originated, and three others, were consumed. The origin of the accident is not known • but the conjecture is, that it was from.the . bar, the fire having begun in the loWer part of the house, about an. hour after the family had retired to rest. The smoke was discovered by a watchman, who; unable at first to alarm the inmates, broke open the door, when the flames burst forth into the street. • The landlady was saved with difficulty, and the lodgers, we are .happy to add, were also saved, by inea:ls of ladders, from the peril to which they were exposed. In the adjoining house, one of those - destroyed, lived a poor old woman, alone, this habitation having been provided for her by the parish,: she was taken out of her bed, and carried to a neighbouring house, with only a few things around her, the rest of her clothis, and what little property she had, having become a prey to the de vouring, element. IttGISTtR OF FASHION.. FASUIONABLE ARM - VALs.—Dowager Lady Welby and family, in Argyle-street, from Allington House; Grantham; Mr. and Mrs. William Abbs, and Miss Scott, in Bruton street, from Hertfordshire; Lord Rivers, from Hare Park, Newmarket; Sir John Frederick, Bart. at Read's Hotel; Lady and the Miss Lovetts, at the St. James's FANCY DliEss BALL AT. ALMACK'S.—More than three hundred fashionables were present at the fangy ball on Monday night ; and a great variety of splendid cOssline was - displayed. Spaniards, Switzers, Poles, and Turks predominated ; Country Girls were very numerous, and there was an' excellent group of Moriscoes, whose exertions produced much amusement. Ham let and Romeo bad a pensive_representative or two; each. The 'officers of the Life Guards, Coldstream Guards, the 10th and 18th Hussars, the Lancers, and Yeomanry, wore the full dress uniforms of their respective corps. With the exception of the " Morris," waltzes and quadrilles were the only dances. The company broke up about haMpast three. On Friday the Society of Ifigh Constables held their election dinner in the Royal Hotel, Edinburgh, George Spankie,. Esq. moderator in the chair.. The Lord P rovos t an d M ag i strates, Sheriff Duf, William Arbuthnot, Esq. and a number of dis tinguished per-sonages, were present. GRAINI . POUND. MOTION submitted to the House of Lords by Lord ImunEn r...a.LE, before going. into the Committee on the Bill, en titled " - An act to exclude the Borough of Grampound, in the County of Cornwall, from sending Burgesses to Serve in Parliament, and to enable the Borough of Lee& in the county of York, to send t w o B urgesses to serve in Parliament in lieu thereof," with the Protest enterettby his Lordship on • its being negatived. Moved, that . a Committee be Appointed to inquire into,. and report to this House, the names of the now existing Ntayor,,Al dennen, and , Freemen of the Borough of Orainpound, distin guishing thoSe against whom evidence has been given, at the bar 'of this House-, train th ose aga in st w h om no evidence has been offered. PROTEST. Ist, Because, by rejecting this motion, this House appears to me to avow its intentiowol. punishing, by an- Ex POST rAe'ro law, the nmocent, however. numerous, on the . sole ground that some, of their fellow freemen have given their votes from corrupt motives. 2d, Because I-cannot , conceive , a , proceeding which exhibits a greater and more unprincipled disregard of justice than that of disqualifying the innocent as well as the guilty, .by an EX PORT - FACTO law. To me it has alwayi 'appeared that the great-object of punishment is to secure by example againSt the future commission of clime; but this Bill; if passed into a law, must infallibly tend to encourage and increase corruption amongst the electors of all the smaller boroughs in the kingdom ; for it proclaims to them that the only difference betwixt.giving their votes from pure and from corrupt motives is, that the cor rupt will be punished Under the existing laws, and the innocent by .an EX POST FACTO law, without any regard to the compa rative number of those who are pure and those who are guilty. 3d, Because, after the doctrines recently held by this llouse, on the' danger with which the constitution of the, country was threatened by an EX POST FACTO law, in the shape of a bill of pains and penalties, it is with the deepest regret I have seen this bill receive the support with which it has been counten anced. It is true, it is said, that the right of voting is not pri.: vateproperty, but a privilege vested for the benefit of the com munity; and that Allis bill cannot, therefore, be called a bill, of pairs and penalties : tome, however, it appears equally true that privileges vested even in the highest in rank and station can not be considered as private property, these two involving concomitant- duties to the community. The attempt to make such a'distinction leads ale, therefore, to dread the people at large will conceive that, contrary. to .all principles of. British justice, a proceeding in .this House is:deemed to be wise and constitutional' when directed against the innocent poor, which is held to be dangerous and Unconstitutional in the case of those whose station in. life is high and elevated. DESPERATE RIOT-MILITARY CALLED OUT. • Yesterday Larrenee Clare and Martin White, two Irishmen, were charged at Queen-square office with wound ing two privates of the'Ouards. It appeared that on Tuesday night a drummer of the Guards was going through the Almonry„ .and broke a coop containing some fowls, belonging to a youth named Cannon. An alterca— tion took place between • them,. which terminated in a pitched battle, in which the drummer. was vanquished, and he went to the Marquess of Granby public-house, where some of the men belonging to his regiment were drinking, and stated his case to them. One of the soldiers, who was intoxicated.; ran intathe street to obtain satisfaction, and he was immediately fol lowed by the rest. Not finding- Cannon, they repaired to a house where the prisoners lodged, - and - demanded with • threats he should be sent out to them. - • In vain they wire told no such person was there, and they were ordered about their business, but they insisted upon entering the house. •An im mense crowd, consisting of 'prostitutes and their fellows, with whom that place abounds, collected, and a great number of soldiers from the different public houses, but the Irishmen barri cadoed the door, and threatened - to knock down anyman who entered.- The soldiers - forced the door, and drove one of the Irishmen, who guarded it with a sword in his hand,- away, but he and another, armed with a shovel, placed themselves on the stairs. One of the soldiers rushed forward in order to seize the first man by the legs and pull him down ;: when stooping .for that purpose he received a blow of the sword on the back of his head, which felled him to the ground and wounded him very seriously. The man who was armed with a shovel, at the satne instant, struck another soldier, and cut oil the greater part of his chin. A general fight ensued.: The Irishmen in the neigh bourhood, on - hearing what occurred, repaired to the assistance of their countrymen, and the • soldiers mustered still stronger; the whole street was in a state of alarm, and men both in red ' and coloured clothes were to be seen mixed in all directions bleeding upon the ground. The constables were of no use, till information was given at the Tilt-yard, and a file of soldiers dis patched to the scene of action, but much to their credit, al though they met with much resistance, they declined using their arms, and at length succeeded in di s p e r s in g th e mo b, t a ki ng a few f the ringleaders into custody. Every pane of glass in the house where the affray took place was demolished, and the doors and shutters were broken. The Prisoners, on 'tieing called upon for their defence, said, they gave no offence to the soldiers- They considered they had no right to molest them in their own places, and in ,what they hail done they thought they 'were justified by the law, as it was in sclfLdef?nce". The 11:tgistrate said, as they were taken with unlawfOl arms in their hands, it was his duty to require proper bail for their appearance to any charge that might be preferred against them at the Sessions.—Committed for want of bail. ELOPEMENT FROM DEVONSHIRE. (FURTHER PARTICULARS rno3r THE ALFRED, MAY 15.) Monday se'nnight,. Mrs. Haydon, wife of Mr.. Haydon, siding at Grove-house, Topsham; eloped with a person named Symes,,fortnerly a midshipman in the navy, but of late a spirit dealer at Martock in - Somerset:Shire. The details of this case are of the most shockin g description—Mrs. Haydon having se far forgotten the duties of a mother as to leave two babes at home, only seven months old, and to accompany a - married man, who has left a wife at Crediton, with one child, and in hour:. ly expectation of another. The fugitives were pursued by Mr. Haydon and a Police-officer,abent 10 hours after their departure, and traced direct to London, not even disguising their route at any stage. At Salisbury the paraMour place& himself and there amie outside a coach and reached: London about four o'clock the same afternoon. The pursuing party arrived at Bow-street in two hours after; but no clue could. be obtained likely to effect a discovery until the following morning, when they were recognised by, Salmon, the Bow-street officer, at the Green Man, 131ackheath, where they had passed the night. The lady was immediately taken into custody, and the destroyer of the peace of two families was overcome by a fainting fit. Mr. flaydon resigned his wife into the hands of a friend of her father, and the affair 'ended. A separation, we un- . derstand, has taken place, and a divorce will immediately fol. low. But what adds horror to the crime is, that the opportu nity chosen for the elopement was at a time when the father of Mr. Haydon lay a corpse ! . On the whose, we never' met with a cirCnnistancemore relete. with depravity, or more repugnant to the feelings of humanity. . Conx-Excirmror,• MAY 16.—:-The supply of Wheat being small, that of fine quality met a ready sale this morning, on full as good terms as on Monday; but there was scarce any demand for the. inferior samples. The continuance of cold weather has increased the demand for fine malting Barle, prime samples of Which go off freely, and what little epp eare d to-day obtained Monday's prices. Having large arrivals of Oats from Yorkshire and 'Lincolnshire, as well as from Ireland, the sales were heavy to-day, at a decline of full 6d. pa. quarter. In-Beans and Peas no alteration. A Ndblemtn's assistant gamekeepi, in the ,vicinity of Gravesend, Kent, was watching two crows on the ground, when a young rabbit came out of a btrrow, which the crows instantly seized. The cries of the yoing rabbit brought the old one to its :assistance,. and while figiting with the crows, the man firecrand killed both crows and bah rabbits. - LAW INrrELLIGENCt. KING'S BENCH—(THIS DAY.) LIBEL.—TH E KING V. TIIFLIYALL. Mr. BLACKBURN, on the part of the defendant, moved for a rule, calling upon Mr. Murray, the Attorney to the prosecution, to disclose the names of the prosecutors, at whose. instance a true bill for a Seditious Libel had been found against the defendant. The Court refused the motion, but said the defendant was entitled to challenge the Jurors on the trial, and to•ask them if they were prose cutors ? He was also entitled, if the Jury was special, to a list of all the prosecutors whose names were on the Jury-book for the county of Middlesex.
