" We have received intelligence that the Pro-' vince of Rio de la Hache has also united itself .to the Republic of the whole Department of Cundinaniarca; there is nothing left to Spain but Carthagena and the Isthmus of Panama. The Provinces enjoy already the fruits of in dependence." SuGArt.—We notice, with very great regret, the persevering efforts of Mr. ALEX.IND ER BARING, liire RICARDO, and other individuals, to generalize and destroy all those distinctions and restrictions which have been hitherto considered as essentially necessary for the encouragement of the Home and Colonial interests. Their opposition to the small additional duty on East India Sugars, which itr absolutely necessary for the protection and sup port of the British West India Colonists, is as in defensible and anti-national as their constant op position to the British Shipping and North Ame rican Interests, and their support of a free trade in foreign bottoms. If this remnant of The She!- borne Party should ultimately succeed in their views, and the old policy of the country is sacri ficed to their speculative notions in political eco nomy, the Agricultural interests must not expect that the restrictions in favour of British produce will be - continued—but that the trade will be thrown open, and foreign whets and all other produce and merchandize allowed to be imported in fo reign ships on equal terms with British shipping. To satisfy oar Country readers that we are not amusing them with idle rumours on this subject, we can assure them, that even some of the repre sentatives of the Landed Interests are a little tainted with the notions of the new school, and we know that a young Metuber for a Northern County' candidly declared to some of his consti tuents, that he was a warm advocate for a free trade in ships of all countries, and that he was as ready to vote, whenever it was proposed, for a Repeal of the Restrictions in favour of British Corn, as he was determined to vote for the Re duction of the Duties on Foreign Timber. It' is said, that in the course of the present summer the- KING will, in person, open the, new line of streets leading from the Palace of Carlton House to the Regent's Park. All the principal Officers of the Herald's Col- lege, who are to officiate at the Coronation, have superb mantles preparing, which they are to wear when that splendid ceremony takes place. Yesterday morning Prince LEOPOLD left town for Claremont.—The Duchess of CLARENCE and Prince ERNEST HOWENLOH LANGENBOURG dined with the Duchess of KENT at her apartments in the King's Palace, at Kensington yesterday.— Yesterday the Duke of CLARENCE dined with Sir'CHARLES POLE. His MAJESTY, who is always munificently active in the encouragement, of talents and sup port of benevolence, has extended his gracious patronage to the three orphan sisters of the late Mr. BA RTLEMAN, a man whose loss in the musi cal world is at• present irreparable to the public, as well as to those amiable ladies, who have been deprived of their affectionate brother and liberal protector. Yesterday, the Bank of England commenced paying in specie to the public, in pursuance of the Act just passed. The town Bankers were all supplied with gold in lieu of notes under five pounds ; and it is, we understand, impossible now to get a one.pound note. In order to pre vent any forged notes being taken by the country Bankers, the Bank Directors have sent Investi gators to various parts of the kingdom. The Marquess of WoncEsma was one day reading us a lecture of patience in adversity. Among the rest of those witty sayings which came from him, he told us that there was nothing so bad but was good for something ; " For," said he, " if there were no silence, there could be no musick ; for the suddain stops that are in musick adde to the grace and perfection of the arte : ignorance is a spur to knowledge ; dark ness is a pavilion to the Almighty, a cabbin or drawn chamber for us to sleep in, a dungeon for the Judge to punish his delinquents, and a foile for the painter to make his shadowes ; so are afflictions good for our instruction, and adversi ties for our amendment." SCARLET FEVER.—It is announced in the Jour nal de Medicine Pratique of Berlin, that the Belladonna is a preservative against the scarlet fever.

Admiral Lord GAMBIER. was unanimously called to the Chair. The Secretary— read the Report, stating, that Branch Societies. had been formed in various parts of England, Ireland, Scotland, and Gibraltar. and the most salutary results were anticipated for the future from the success hitherto expe rienced. Upwards 9f 1600 'Bibles and Testa ments have been distributed amongst ;the several regiments stationed in Ireland. In Scotland 1000 copies of the Scriptures had been supplied to persons in need of their. Upwards of 9000 Bibles and 4800 Testaments had been distributed by the Naval an4l Military Society of London. Through these efforts to circulate' the Word of God, as well as from the daily increasing de mands upon the Society, a balance of 10001. was due from them ; and an energetic' appeal was made to the liberality of the Meeting, to enable the Society to follow up their proceedings with' increased vigour. ON THE P.RESENT STATE OF GREME. Mn. Erna - ore—l think that, under existing circumstances, a few observations on the Greeks will be rather. interesting to your Readers. I shall endeavour to make them acquainted,. by a short sketch,with the ancient country of THE m IST 0 C L ES, ALEXANDER, and PHILOPEMON ; and shall combine in this article what appears to me entitled to credit, among the contradictory assertions of recent travellers, with the result of the information I have received from other quarters. The modern Greeks have been singularly ill-treated in the works of those who have visited them, and have h a d opportunities of studying their char a ct e r. I have no wish however to run into the opposite extreme, and extol them beyond their deserts ; nor indeed is it prudent to anticipate the eulogiums which this peo ple may hereafter merit from history. Greece is certainly no longer what she formerly was ; but she • is far removed from that state of degradation and humiliation which is supposed.. It is true that we must not seek for proofs of the present valour of a' Nation in the history of the high ,! deeds which signalized her in ancient times ; but it must at the same time he admitted that he will reason badly who, forming his opinion of a people, depressed by servitude; from - their pre sent condition, shall consign them to perpetual infamy, and pronounce them incapable of improvement under good inatitus dons. The Greeks of the present day are certainly not eaual to those in the time of LEONIDAS • but are 'they very inferior their ancestors, who maintained, with no slight degree of courage and resolution, the tottering remains of their empire, during the first half or the fifteenth century ? ',Phis question may lead to a curious comparison between the modern Greeks and Turke, by which it would appear that the modern .Greeks, though they do not exist as a Nation, are un doubtedly more enlightened than their ancestors of the Low Empire ; that they are no longer divided, like the latter, by theological disputes; that they feel the necessity of instruction in the sciences of Europe, and that, free from the scholastic prejudices of the middle ages, they ground the system of human knowledge on its true basis, the philosophy of experience and common sense. On the other hand, manst be obvious that the Turks have remained stationary in the midst of the amazing progress in the Arts, Sciences, &c. made by the Nations of •Europe. - The Turks are now what they were in the time of MOHAMMED ; they harepteserved the same contempt for the Arts and Sciences; the cultivation of them is still opposed by their religious faith, and civilization is among them in the same degraded state. The knowledge diffused among the Greeks has not yet reached the lower classes, who are still buried in ignorance.— But with the exception of a few countries, of England, Fr a n ce , and Germany e is it not the s a m e i n all Europe ? Yet, if the exertion of those worthy philanthropists, who propagate in- Greece -the Bell and Lancasterien mode of instruction, were seconded by some - fortunate political tombinations, the lower classes among the Greeks might perhaps, in a quarter of a cen tury, be as well educated as the peasantry of Alsace, or Scotland. In fact, when we contempl a t e th e astonishing results that have been obtained in our climate s f rom a good plan of elementary instruction, what may we not expect among a people whom Nature has end() led with quick conception, an astonishing ap titude of mind, and a memory as retentive as their imagination is ardent ? It gives,me heartfelt pleasure to observe, that schools of this description have been established in Greece more than three years. Here I cannot refrain from bestowing a just tribute of praise to the zeal of the Greeks of the rich and commercial class.— About twenty years ago they began and still continue to im pose on themselves, the greatest pecuniary sacrifices which their fortunes will admit, to promote the civilization of their country ; and they also . dedicate a part of their wealth to the Support of establishments for the instruction of their fellow citizens, or the aniehoration of their Condition. . Considerable sums are raised by voluntary contributions, and appropriated to the maintenance of a number of young Greeks in the prin cipal capitals of Europe, who devote themselves to th e s t u dy o f the Arts and Science s , , but more particularly to the study of medicine, and the several branches of natural philosophy. Paris and Germany contain a great many of these young end stu dious adopted children of their country, who are distin guished for their assiduous attendance on the lectures of the learned Professors of those . countries. At the expiration of three or four, years they return to their native country, edu- • cate in their turn fresh pupils, and diffuse around them the knowledge which they imbibed at the fountain head. What a delightful and affecting object does this travelling prytaneum exhibit, traversing enlightened kingdoms, in order to carry back civilization to the mother country ! Wiser than the Ar gonauts, their fabulous predecessors, the Greeks of the present day think only of the conquest of this noble civilization, which forms the true wealth of man, and ought to be the sole object of the ambition of Princes ; a treasure far surpassing those for which the latter have contended, and shed so much blood ! In the event of a oreat insurrectional movement being direct ed against Constantinople, the Northern Greek Provinces are the most worthy of attention. Their situation, extent, and proximity to European States, their population essentially military, and chiefly composed of Greeks,, and the leading station they have always occupied, all concur in assigning them the foremost, rank in the contest which is on the eve of taking place. The Greeks of some oth er p rov i nces , may , perhaps, be more war like than the Walachians, but they would meet with greater obstacles in marching on Constantinople, and there resides the whole Ottoman power. The Moldavians and Walachians are the descendants of those Gette and Dacians, whom Trajan had so much difficulty in subjugating. They are proud, bold, vindictive, and believers in predestination t• and they make no scrupl e in Turk. They nominate their Princes and . Nobles, - bean among whom alone the Porte can elect the Hospodars who govern them. In truth, the se Hospodars, who are true Greek Paellas, signalize their administration by shameful ex tortions and violence ; but the people imagine they are free, because they are not governed by a Mussulman. The fertility of these provinces is well known ; their horses are little inferior to those of the Cossacks, and are capable of enduring great fatigue. Jassy, the capital of Mold avia , con t a i ns near l y 30,000 inhabitants ; and the population of Bucharest, the capi tal of Walachia, is computed at three times as many. For the last twenty years, the Hospodars have induced many learned men and skilful mechanics to settle in those towns. It is rather a singular fact, that the Italian is here very generally spoken ;- the rich send their sons to study in Italy, and by a fort of na tional pride, they pretend to derive their origin from a Roman colony established in their country by TRAJAN. ' Albania, or ancient Epirus. cont a ins a muc h more war lik e po pulation than Walachia. The Albanians, or Arnauts, ate re markable for the roughness and ferocity•of their - manners.— The always go well armed, and • are.fond of lighting. Their fanciful costume reminds us of that of the ancient Roman sol diers ; and it is a well-known fact that Rome drew her best legions from among them. They have retained the caliga and the mantle ; they wear a kind of cuirass, a short broad sword, the beard long, and the arms and neck bare; add to these a bad carbine or musket, . and you may form some idea of their accoutrement, alike grOtesqUe and martial. • GIBBON says of Albania, that this -country, which, we can perceive from the coast of Italy, is less known than the interior of America. The difficulty of travelling through it, and the savage character of the inhabitants are the cause; but of late years we have receiv ed most valuable information respecting the Arnauts, the Mon tenegrins, and the Chimnariots, feom the works of some En g lish and French travellers, who succeeded in traversing . the.s country. It was on the courage of th e Alb an i ans th a t the power and audacity of the famous ALI Paula ware founded. llis active and enterprising spirit, his ferocity and love of plunder, render ed him popular among these barbarians. The part which this tyrant-should take, in - a movement against the Porte, would be attended with the most important consequences. loannina, his former residence, is nearly the centre of Greece ; it is inhabi ted by rich Greeks, and might serve as a rallying point. to Ma cedon and Thessally. As for the Animas, they would desire nothing better than the plunder of Constantinople ; tney are neither• Christians nor Mussulmen, and their mode of life has engendered among them the most profound indifference in mat ters of religion. There exists at the farthest extremity of the Peleponn esus a small warlike people who will, ['think, one day act a glorious part in the destinies of GrecCe. The Mainotes boast of having in their veins the blood of the Spartans, and they are worthy - of it. They inhabit the mountains of Laconia, and never permit a Tuek to set their foot on them. They love to idolatry, virtue, and liberty ; and it would seem as if the great shade of Lycur gus still visited them, for we find, in their customs many reesem blances of the excellent institutions of that. Legislator. Agri culture and war are the only occupations of the.Mainetes.-- They can bring into the field 15,000 fighting men, and for some years they have made great progress in the European mia litary exercise. There is extant a description of MaMa, written in modern Greek by a native, which contains very interesting particulars of their character. The virtues of hospitality whiten distinguish these people, their mutual confidence m the trans actions oflife, which are carried on without the aid of any Ma gistracy, their high respect for modesty and her sister virtues, the Christianity of the primitive Church preserved among them in its sublime simplicity, the peaceful- and democratic regula tion of their internal police, present a picture worthy the pen of a Tacitus. This article has already occupied too much space, but when we are transported in imagination into a land so fertile in im posing recollections, when we recal to memory the glorious nand' s of Athens and. Lacedemop, we are lost in thought and suffer ourselves to be led away by illusions, why should 1 not say hopes, which are,noble and, enchanting, though they may prove chimerical. The love of order should not in our minds supersede the interest which we ought to feel for suffering and op pressed Christians : nor does the respect due to legitimate Govern ments incline us to admire the government of the Grand Turk.

FREDERICK Wrap, Esq. REGISTER OF FASHION. FASHIONABLE PARTIES. TilE COUNTESS OF SEFTON'S BALI..—The Countess of Sefton gave her second Ball for the season on Monday even ing, at her elegant residence in Arlington-street. The whole range of apartments on the drawing-room floor were thrown open, which were most brilliantly illuminated : the back draw ing-room was fitted up with unique taste and. elegance for dancing ; the floor was beautifully chalked ; the whole of the apartments were decorated with a profusion of pots of the. most choice and - odoriferous flower s ; the refreshments consisted of every delicacy of the season; with fruits and wines of the first qualities. The Ball commenced at eleven "o'clock :- it was nearly half-past six yesterday morning before the whole of the com pany had left : there. were upwards of 300 persons of the first rank, distinction, and fashion present. • Countess Munster will give a grand dress ball on Friday next, at her house in Grosvenor-place, at which kis Majesty • has signified his intention of honouring her - Ladyship with his company. General loss entertained -a distinguished party at dinner on Monday, at his house in Portland-place. NVAREFIEI.D.-L-BACHE'LOR'S FALL AND SUPPER.—On Wcdncsday last the Bachelors of Wakefield gave a b a ll an d supper at the White Hart, to nearly. 200 of the principal inha bitants of the town and neighbourhood. The ball was opened with a favourite country dance ; after which, quadrilles 'and country dances were alternately danced until nearly one o'clock, when the party sat down to supper in an elegant suit of rooms, which as well as the ball-rocm, were tastefully ornamented and. brilliantly lighted up for the occasion. After supper dancing was resumed, and kept up with great spirit until about four o'clock in the morning. The music was under the direction of Mr. W. Hardman of York, •and it is but justice to observe, that the arrangements made by the Committee seemed , to give general and great satisfaction, as did the attention and assiduity of the landlord. DUELIN, MAY 4.—Wednesday night the Lacy Mayoress gave a grand Ball and Supper at the Mansion-house. Be tween 10 and 11 o'clock the rooms, which had been prepared with infinite taste and splendour, were filled with the company. In the great room were, His Excellency Earl Talbot, th e Com mander of the Forces, .ady Baird, and a crowd of persons of rank. Two quadrille sets occupied the centre of this room.— The company forming a dense mass round the partition ropes, and glittering, in the richness and variety of dress and or nament, and the still more delightful brilliancy of beauty which sparkled from so m a ny poi n t s , a ff or d e d a " cou p d' ec il," beyond description, captivating. All the rooms were so thronged that they became almost impassible, until the heat and pressure called away numbers to seek the refreshments. which were provided without any limitation. About 1 o'clock the supper-roonis were thrown open. Ms Evcellency and his suite, and several persons of rank, approached the places pre pared for them. At this table there were covers laid for 60 guests ; at the other table there were covers prepared for COO. All the dainties that the season could afford were provided with unbounded liberality ; indeed it would be impossible to at tempt.a minute description of as splendid an entertainment as ever was seen in th 6 metropolis of Ireland. The attentions of the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress were unremitting ; and, notwithstanding the imm e nse n u mb er o f th e i r gues t s an d the difficulty of moving through the rooms, there was not an iruli vidual who did not experience some personal instance of their courtesy. The following were among the company present : His Excellency the Lord - Lieutenant, the Commander of the Forces, and Lady Baird, the Attorney-General, and Lady Mary Saurin, Mr. and Lady Anne, and Miss Gregory, Lord and Lady Aylmer, Lady Rossmore, Earl and Countess of Farnham, the Misses- Fox, .

TA was supported by MUNDEN, HARLEY, T. COOKE, HORN, Miss CUBITT, and Madame V ESTRIi. It was not well attended, and though it wanted not good comic and musical support, it did not make so favourable an impression as might be expected. VAR mouTii, MAY 3.—An Assembly was this day held at ' the New -Hall, to fill up the vacancies which had occurred in the Corporation, when John Danby Palmer, Esq. was chosen an Alderman ; and Messrs. Sam. Costerton, John lierrison • Preston, Richard Ferrier, Edward Youell, and John Masters Bell; Common Councilmen.__We are sure it. will afford sincere pleasure.to all bene - :olent minds to learn that our Repository was this year most numerously and fashionably attended, and that the profits arising from the elegant and ingenious contri butions of our fair townswomen have exceeded those of any former year. A great variety of fine screens; work boxes, and Chimney ornaments, album and admirable productions of the pencil, were mixed with the most exquisite specimens of netting and needle-work : among the latter class we noticed with great satisfaction the useful though less dazzling articles of apparel for the poor, and the well firrnished workbags adapted for prizes to the children in the Charity-and Sunday schools. The Ladies. of Yarmouth have by this kind and .most interesting employ ment of their leisure moments been the means of contributing 601. to the funds of the two mo s t use f u l c h ar i t i es w hi c h supp l y nourishment to the sick and clothing to the destitute. ARCHERY.—It affords us much pleasure to have an oppor tunity of noticing the revival of Archery in this neighbourhood. It is an exercise at once interesting and healthy, and most as suredly ought to be freed from the reproach of being childish, or trifling, were it only to vindicate, as an elegant a m use m en t, that which the bravest of our forefathers boasted as a warlike acquirement. The first monthly meeting of the Bowmen of Walton-le-Dale, took place yesterday, and after nearly three hours of miremitted shooting, the gold arrow, for the best single shot, was presented by Mrs. RADCLIFFE, the Lady P a t roness , to Mr.-Citas. Swailisox, jun. ; and the second prize. was won by Mr. C. SWAIN SON, sen., who, after a most spirited competition, was declared Captain of Numbers. The shooting was at a distance of 100 yards, and if it be considered, that with one or two exceptions, the whole club is composed of gen tlemen not of twelve month's experience, we may pronounce the general practice of the day to have been excellent. The winner of the second prize had two shots in'the gold, five in the red, seven in the blue, seven in the black, and none in the white.—(Preston Centenel,.

BORGASSE, who published a wor k, declaring, in open violation of the Charter, the holders of national and church property criminals, and that the Emigrants and Clergy had a right to insist on the restoration of the confiscated property; the Govertunent . seized the work, and prosecuted the author, who was but can we wonder at this, when the thousand acquitted by the unanimous votes of the Jury; murderers of the South, who call themselves Royalists, go about in broad day, and fear nothing? If the French Monarchy fall, it will not be by the attacks of the Liberals, but by those of its pretended friends. By the decision of Sa turday, an author is authorised to publish that the Charter is revolutionary, and that no French man ought to obey it; that it consecrates injus tice and robbery ; and that the KING, who de clared it his best title to til►e gratitude of Poste rity, is little less than a Jacobin.—lmmense pre parations are made for the fates of the Ist; -2d, and 3d of May, and the influx of strangers is be yond all precedent.—lt appears that some difli culties*have been started as to the passage - orthe Russian troops through France ; the Russian 3 having a singular veneration for the motto, " Übe bone ibi patria."—l understand that it is the in tention of the Procureur du Roi to appeal against the verdict of the Jury, as contrary to both the law and the fact.
