Youth, all the firmness of conscious integrity) all the lights of experience, and all the spirit of independence. The Morning Chronicle prides itself this day on having contended that there must have been some secret understanding between Persia and Russia, otherwise the former would not have Commenced hostilities against Turkey, declaring that it has been always of this opinion, in oppo sition to that of a paper . which - it Styles demi official. But is it reasonable to suppose that, if demi-official, it would not have some informa tion, or at least some hint, that would have pre vented its 'persevering in . a wrong course ? The truth is, that from ,all the information which has arisen on the designs of Persia, it was to be in- ferred, by the commonest understanding, that had directed its attention to the subject, that the event now stated to have_ happened was naturally to be expected, and therefore The Chronicle ought rather to .be surprised that doubts should arise in a quarter,. which it holds out as demi official, than to triumph upon what was a matter of obvious inference and general expectation.— The Paper alluded to by The Chronicle certainly affected to speak "from authority," when it scollted the idea of a war between Russia and Turkey, and between Persia and Turkey, as ridiculous. It more than once declared, that there was no foundation for the apprehen -59P . of war, which was so prevalent, and it SO managed its assertions, as to have it inferred, that they were authorized by Government. We knew better, The same Paper, however, now says, " The situation of affairs in the East of Europ e , has assumed a very dWerent apect from what we expected. Persia, according to private letters, has not only declared war against Turkey, but has actually commenced hostilities in Asia against the Turks. "1 he fact is stated positively ; and, it is inferred, that this would not have been done without some previous concert or communication with Russia, and that Russia will put her armies in motion a gainst Turkey, as soon as military •-operations curs be undertaken fronz the banks of the Pruth!" Thus, the supposed annunciations of the British Government are blown into the air by the autho rity o f cc private letters!" To the Readers of T HE Sox, " the aspect of affairs in the East of JArrope," is, we hope, not very different from what they have been led to expect. — I t is upwards of a month since we first al pounced that the Persians were to attack Turkey : and in our paper of the 12th of No vember is the following passage :—" Every man conversant in modern politics must know that Persia would not have dared to send a man against Turkey, unless she had. previously ob tained the permission of Russia."—From the pro gress IA rich the Greeks have already made, there is little doubt that the diversion effected in their favour by Persia, and by the warlike attitude of Itassia, will enable the Greeks to expel the .I " b u r 3 / 4 - 5 ,- without its being necessary that Russia s strike a single blow, openly, in the field; an d her objects will thus, perhaps, be more the eL Lectually accomplished than if she appeared • in contest, since the other European Powers have sufficient grounds for opposing her - 11 eWs.and thwarting her objects. We received this morning the French Papers Of Saturday, from which we gave extracts in a pre ceding column. No business of any importance has been transacted in either of the French Chambers since the last accounts. The intelli gence from Constantinople is decidedly of a war like charfrter, and it would appear that the pro spect of, war gains ground at Petersburgh, in w hich city the course of exchange had fallen, Producing a corresponding sensation at Frank fort. `D ere is no doubt of the actual commence ment of hostilities between Persia and the Porte, and as it is well known that the Court of Russia Possesses very great influence over that of the Schah,.we are disposed to consider the Persian movements as the prelude to the long dreaded war between Russia and the Porte. [Extract of a Letter from Leghorn, Nov. 20.] " On the sth instant, during a very strong hur ricane, a number of fishing boats sunk on the -coast of Rimini and Portofirmo, in the Gulf of Venice, besicles two polaccas and a Sardinian brig that had sailed from hence, and upwards of 0 0 men, were lost. By the last vessels arrived "re in 20 days from Constantinople, we .learn that th e Ottoman fleet had entered the Darda belies with about 30 Greek vessels taken at . 411 elior Galaxis. The Neapolitan brig Nep tune, was robbed off the Island•Of Cassia, 11 ' the Archipelago,' of a quantity of gold dust and cash, by two armed Greek boats, and also of several bales of wool and silks to the amount of about 8,000/. sterling, the major part belong ing to two Morocco Jews, who were passengers on board, the remainder to Merchants established here. The Master was also plundered of seven .cannons and other articles." [From the Noticio Mercantile.] 11AVANNAII, OCT. 8.---Extract of a Letter from Vera Cruz, Sept. 24 The Governor of this Place has ordered mines to be dug under the forts of. Santiago and Conception, for the pur pose of blowing them up, in case of an attack by the forces of Trigarante. The greatest part of the troops which came from the Havannah are ill with the fever; not more than 150 of them can be relied upon for our service. We are in great uncertainty of what is passing in Mexico, which has been long isolated by the siege ; but No- I'ALLA has beaten the besiegers do two occasions, and particularly on the sth, when their loss was conSiderable; our's also has been great, having lost the whole regiment of Castella. On the 7th an armistice was entered into, in order to treat on the affairs of the Empire ; but it was broken on the 13th, NOVALLO not agreeing to any of the propositions made." The Times of this day affects to find what it styles an amusing specimen of logic," in The Sun of yesterday, because we said the appoint ment of Marquis WELLusLEY, who " is known to be favourable to the Roman Catholic Claim," and of Mr. GOUj,BURN, as his Secretary, who is known to be adverse to them, may be considered " as a measure of conciliation."—We cannot per ceive any logical inconsistency in the statement. The co-operation of two able men may lead to measures of conciliation, while they have both the interests of the Empire in view, and neither would propose measures without due consulta tion, and the concurrence of each other. In another column we-have inserted, from the Chester Courant, some very just and pertinent reflections on the judgment pronounced by the Court of King's Bench on, the late Mayor of intended to have made some for- ther observations on the same important and in teresting occurrence, but are prevented by the press of other matter. We participate, however, heartily, in the feelings of the friends to Consti tutional Liberty, at the blow which has thus been given to those corrupt practices which endanger the rights of the people and the security of the State. DOVER, DEC. 3.—Soon after nine this morn ing our boatmen observed the Dasher steam packet, and several passage vessels, stepring from Calais for Dover, it then blowing strongly from the Southward—the wind shortly increased to a gale, which has continued the whole day. The Dasher and other vessels persevered for a long , time in their exertions to make Dover, but the violence of the gale baffled their efforts, and compelled them to bear up, and we imagine the Dasher must have run into Margate Roads, as ' I the heavy sea which a southerly or south-west wind causes at the mouth of Ramsgate Harbour must have made it too hazardous for her to have attempted that port. Her Royal Highness the Princess AUGUSTA was on board the Dasher, and as Mr. CuAnLus WitionT, of the Ship Tavern, had received orders to have apartments and horses in readiness, every preparation had been made to receive her Royal Highness. A consi derable degree of anxiety and interest had been excited in the town, in the expectation of her Royal Highness landing here, and a congratula tory and loyal Address from the town had been prepared to present to her Royal Highness on her return to her native land. Whatever may be thought to the contrary, and although some recent events, in which the respectable part of the inhabitants took no part, may have conveyed a different impression, a more loyal town, and one more attached to the House of Brunswick, than the town of Dover, is not to be found throughout his MAJESTY'S dominions. RANtsGATE, DEC. 3. The Dasher steam packet, with her Royal Highness the Princess A UGUSTA and suite, has arrived here from Calais. Her Royal Highness landed at 4' P. M., and pro ceeded immediately for Sittingbourne. LORD KENYO N.-In justice to this Nobleman, is is proper to state our full persuasion, arising, indeed, from positive knowledge, that in giving his sanction to the origin of the Evening Paper intitled The Tcue Briton, his Lord ship was not actuated by, any pecuniary. views, but by the most disinterested regard to the welfare of our Establishment in Church and State, which he doubtless at that time considered as being in a state of imminent danger. Without entering into any of the disputes which have arisen relative to the Paper alluded to, we feel sincere regret that the name of this respectable Nobleman should have been brought forward on the occasion. Letters from Gibraltar of the 12th ult. state, that a French 74. gun ship passed through the Straits on the morning of that day to the east ward, supposed-to be on her voyage to reinforce their Squadron in the Archipelago. Letters from Patras of the Ist ult. were re ceived yesterday, which confirm the fall of Tri polliza, but give a different account of the man ner in which the place was conquered. They say that the Albanian Turks, who formed its garrison, unfaithful to their trust, had delivered it up to the Greeks. \V hether accurate or not, this account obtained entire credit at Patras, where they in consequence deemed it prudent to disband and send away froth the place all the Albanian Turks in the citadel. By this step the garrison of Patras was so much weakened, that resistance to the Greeks:was no longer contem plated ; and they had made preparations to de stroy the fortress, which they were prepared to quit immediately on the approach of the enemy. All the inhabitants, likewise, held themselves in readiness to leave Patras at a moment's notice. Letter:;, dated the 25th of October, were re ceived yesterday from Constantinople. They re peat, in positive terms, the statement in the French Papers, that Persia had declared war against Turkey, and add, that advantages had been gained over the Turks near Bagdad, and also in the vicinity of Erzerum. No intelligence had arrived there from Petersburgh since the return of Baron Strogonoff, but all apprehension of a war with Russia hid subsided. The contest with the Greeks and the Persians was likely, without the interference of Russia, to find suffi cient employment for the troops of the Porte. An account, said to be official, has been trans mitted from Constantinople, announcing the cap ture and destruction of a fleet of Greek ships by the Turks, in a naval action oft* Patras ; but this is supposed, and with some colour of probability, to relate to the vessels lying at anchor in the har bour of Galaxidi—an affair which has been al ready narrated, and which bore no semblance to a sea-fight, as most of the ships had been aban cloned by their crews, and the remainder made little or no resistance, CITY BANQUET TO THE KING:--It is now re ported that his MAJEST Y is to dine with the L OR, at the Guildh a ll o f the City of Lo°nßdp l‘ A on ' , l w l ten that ancient edifice will be illu minated within and without. At no period in the history of this country has this famous hall exhibited half the splendour which is to be bla zoned forth on St. George's Day. To give full effect to the scene, it is said that the Committee concluded a bargain with the GREAT LORD CHAMBERLAIN on Saturday last, for the whole of the Coronation decorations which adorned Westminster Hall during the late festivities.

DEPARTURE OF THE GUARDS FOR IRELAND. — This morning, at an early hour, the third Batta lion of the First, or Grenadier Regiment of Foot Guards, under the command of Colonel STEWART, began to assemble at their Barracks at Knightsbridge, for the purpose of marching to the Basin of the Grand Junction Canal, where boats were waiting to convey them to Liverpool, on their way to Dublin. The Regiment marched from the Barracks about half-past eight, across the Park, Edgware-road, &c. Each boat is said to contain about 60 men, and the whole number of the Battalion is nearly 700. The day being remarkably fine an immense concourse of persons assembled in Knightsbridge and the roads through which they passed ; it is said they will reach Liverpool on Thursday se'nnight. The 16th Lancers, the 19th, 29th, 84th, and 89th Regiments are gone to Ireland. Yesterday the three troops of the 4th Dra goon Guards, who have been stationed at Piershill Barracks for some time, marched for Glasgow Barracks, under the command of Lieu tenant-Colonel Ross. It is but just to say, that during the time the above division of this very distinguished regiment was stationed here, its conduct was such as to reflect the highest credit on its officers. Their departure is much and uni versally regretted, and they carry with them the good wishes of many individuals here, for their welfare and prosperity. We understand they are to be replaced by the 3d Dragoon Guards, from G lasgow.—(Edinburgh Courant, Dec. 1.) The French ship of the line, La Normandie, from Brest, arrived at the Cape of Good hope the 10th September, and was to sail immediately to take possession of the jsland of Saint-Marie- Madagascar. BRIG lITON, DEC. 3.—Divine Service, in the presence of the KING, suite, and household, was yesterday'performed at the Palace by the Dean of lIEItEr•oRn and Dr. PEARSON. His MAJESTY continues in the happiest state of health and spirits. Her Royal Highness the Princess AUGUSTA re turned to this country on Wednesday last from Hanover. On Thursday her Royal Highness arrived at Buckingham House, which had been previously prepared for her reception, and not, as was generally supposed, for his MAJESTY. Her Royal Ilighness is much benefitted in her health by her Continental trip. The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND are not coming to this country at present, as erro neously stated in some of the Papers, but are gone to Berlin. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of KENT has recently sat to Sir WILLIAM BEECIIEY for her portrait. The picture is a half length, and in eludes also the infant Princess ALEXANDIIINA VICTORIA, her Royal Highness's daughter. When honouring the artist by her presence at his paint ing room, the Duchess was accompanied by Princess FED DORE, and the Baroness DE SPA DT. It it understood that the performance will grace the ensuing exhibition. Yesterday evening Sir A NTIIO fIC CARLISLE de livered his fourth Lecture upon Anatomy to the Members and Students of the Royal Academy, -when the works =of the candidates for the diffe rent medals were publicly exhibited. The his torical subject selected this year for the best pic ture, for which the gold medal with the dis courses of the Presidents REYNOLDS and WcsT will be given, is the Prodigal Son, from St. Luke. That in sculpture, for a similar prize, Llwmon and Anligona. The room was excessively crowded. A fraud, to the amount of six thousand pounds, has been committed on a most respeCtable com mercial house in the island of Jersey. Two per sons connected ,with the firm are in custody, on suspicion of being the offending parties. The firm of the Bank which has stopped pay ment at Newcastle-upon-Tyne has informed the public that it is their intention, forthwith, to sub mit a statement of their affairs to persons of the highest respectability, who will report upoil the subject in a few days. COLONEL SEYMOUR. - It is with extreme regret we announce the death of Colonel S EYMOUR,' the son-in-law of the Marquess of CIIOLMONDELEY. This melancholy event took place on Saturday night it Chohnondeley House, Piccadilly. The Colonel had been ill for some time, and had never wholly recovered the fatal effects of the pestilential disease he had contracted while on duty with hisregiment, the 3d Guards, at Wal cheren. Ile was in the prime of life, universally respected, and considered one of the finest look ing men in his MAJESTY'S service. lie has left by his amiable wife one child. The Noble Mar quess and family are inconsolable. The pl:ly of De 11fontfort, according to report, is withdrawn. It i s a strange proof of caprice in the public that Mr. KEAN should not 'have been successful in this Piece, as even in the opinion of those who are not his admirers, he appeared to more advantage in De ?Montfort than in any of his former. efforts. Sunday evening, a few minutes before I 1 o'clock, a Meteor of rather unusual magnitude appeared, taking its commencement near the Zenith, and passing a few degrees eastward of Polaris, through the constellation Ursa Minor, and was lost or disappeared in that of Draco.— The diameter of its nucleus appeared about four or five times that of Jupiter, and its colour a very lively blue, leaving in its train beautiful corm cations of red light, very similar in its appearance to the tail of a skyrocket. The Bristol Mereurg gives the following re port of a riot in Monmouthshire :—" In Alerga veiny, on Wednesday last, accounts have been received of an extensive movement of some kind or other among the workmen at the Tredeger Iron Works ; and it was there said that a vast body of them had gone down to Shirhowhey val ley, in train waggons, before day-light on the morning of Tuesday last. From another Corres pondent we learn, that it was reported in New port on Wednesday, that the Riot Act bad been read, and one of the mob seized by the Magistrate with his own hands. We anxiously wait the ar rival 'of further particulars." MERCANTILESITEPPING, &e. DEAL, DEC. 3.—Wind BAV.—Caine down from the. River the Carshalton Park, Clark, for Jamaica ; and Lady Ilarewood, Young, for Grenada. A brig and an American ship have gone to leeward, but no boat went to their pssistance. The boatmen an still determined not to go off to any ships except to save li yes. _ HALF-PAST 4 r. in.—The wind has suddenly shifted to the northward, and great part of the cutward-bound are getting under weigh. SuvEN o'CnocK.—Wind more to the westward again ; light breeze, thick weather with rain. • RA :4fGAT E, DEC. 3.—Arrived the Fox, Irvin, from Ply mouth, with stores ; and Esther, Johnson, from London for St. 3lichaers, with loss of anchor and cable. PLv DEC. 2.—Wind W.S.W.—Arrived the Hope, ICellock, from Lisbon. The above, with two or three coasters, are the only arrivals for many days, the weather having been very tempestuous, and still continues so with rain, thunder,. and lightning; it occasionally blows a hurricane. PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 3.—Wind N.W.—lt blew a strong gale lait night from the S.S.W., and continued till 2 P. be., when it changed to the north, light wind and hazy, with rain. HAnwecee, DEC. 3.--Arrived the Perseverance, Wood, from London for Hull, with loss of anchor and chain. A brig is ashore upon the Main. in Hundfleet Water, but expected to be gotoff next tide; name not known. YARMOUTII DEC. 3.—The Barbara, Nicholson, from Mahlon for Leeds, has been brought in with loss of anchors., A large vessel was seen on Saturday at the back of our Sands, towing to the southward by three smacks. • ABERDEEN, Nov. 30.—Arrived tlie Betsy, Clark, from Shields, with loss of mast. I.YmeszoTo er, DEC. 3.—The John Baker, Anlaby, re ported yesterday, is got off without discharging her cargo, or, receiving any damage. WHIT EHAVEN, .DEC. I.—We have experienced for the last 10 days a succession of westerly gales, but without doing much injury to the shipping, till at 5 p. in. yesterday it blew the hea viest gale we have experienced for many years, which .continued for 12 hours; most of the ships broke their moorings at the piers, and many have been damaged, running foul of each other. The Henry, of Haddington, drove on the beach to high water mark, and must discharge to be got off ; a small Irish wherry, 31 4 Lean master, with a . number of passengers; came on shore behind the North Pier, and immediately went to pieces, when all on board (except - the master), 16 in number, perished ; only three bodies have yet-been found. -A boat has been cast ashore at St. Bees, belonging to the sloop New Triton, Beadon, of this port. The Defence cutter, Lieut. Reid, has arrived here ; left Douglas yesterday, with the above sloop, and parted with her at 5 p. In. off Maughaldshead ; great anxiety is expressed for her safety ; it is reported she had a number of passengers on board. The gale has now abated. Le E nrooL, DEc. 2 --The Repeater, Maxwell, from ' Baltimore for this port, was driven on shore the 30th ult. aboat 7 miles from Pwlhely ; she is bilged, and all the masts gone by the board ; crew anti passengers saved, and cargo expected to be saved. . Yesterday the dispatches were closed at the East India House, and delivered to the Pursers of the following ships, viz. :.—Earl of Balcarras, Capt. P. Cameron, foe Bengal and China ; and Thomas Coutts, Capt. A. Chrystie, for Madras . and Ch inn. FATAL ACCIDENT.— During the tremendous storm on Friday night, Miss RUSSELL, who was on a visit to her aunt, Lady DARLINGTON, at New ton House, -a stack of chimnies fell into the room where the • youivr Lady had retired, and buried her in the room. - When the rubbish was cleared away the Lady had expired. BURIAL OF ANN Nonats.—Yesterday after ternoon a large concourse of persons asemble-t in front of Whitechapel Church, to witness the obsequies of this unfortunate young woman, who underwent. the sentence of the law on Tuesday. last, at the Old Bailey.—At four o'clock the mournful procession arrived. The corpse was preceded by the undertaker, borne by four of his men, and followed close in the rear by fivd couple of mourners, in front of whom was her brother and near relations. The burial service was read by the Rev. DANIEL MitermAs, the 'Lector. The coffin was very neatly made up; and bore a plate, on which were engraved the deceased's name, age, and date of her death : her age was only twenty-two. SllocKiNq Acci DENT.—On Sunday afternoon, about four o'clock, a very 'fine youth, about 14 years.of age, - one of the .Marine Society .13.0y5, fell from the ladder at the side of their vessel, and sunk., , The drags were instantly procured from the Grampus ; the Seamen's Hospital Ship ; but after dragging the remainder of that day,•and the greater part of yesterday, the body could not be found. SHOCKING CAT ASTROPIIE.—Mr. M., a person of highly respectable connexions, was carried be; fore the Magistrates at Bow-street, a few weeks ago, charged with having embezzled various sums of money from Messrs. Grillier and Frith, ex-. tensive dealers in lime, at Guildford, in Surrey; and at Milbank r Westminster. Mr. M. was their agent in town, and the embezzlements complained of arose in the course of his collecting the debts due to the concern. lie firmly denied the charge, and complained that Messrs. Grillier, and Co. by taking the books from him, had made it impossible for him to explain and balance them correctly ; but he was ready to do so, if he was allowed an opportu nity. Several very respectable friends immediately offered themselves as his bail ; they were ac , cepted, and he was liberated upon an understand.: ing that he would immediately give a satisfactory explanation of the. accounts.—Some time after this, Messrs. Grillier and Co. discovered farther and more extensive defalcations ; and having heard nothing from Mr. M. since his liberatimi o they . again applied to the Magistrates, and a summons was issued for his appearance on thi's • fresh charge. This summons was returnable about ten days ago ; and Mr. M. not appearing to its a warrant was issued for his apprehension. Iu the mean time the persons who became bail for him, in the first• instance, began to get alarmed at his, continued absence, and hearing that he had been borrowing various sums of money, they apprehended he was meditating an escape from the country. Under these circum stances, they made diligent inquiry after him ; and, in. consequence, they received a letter from him, stating that he was in - Windsor, and s!:•ould be in town in a few days. But upon their going to Windsor in search of him, they found he had not been there at all. They now became stilt more anxious, and at length, on Wednesday last, they discovered him at a respectable boarding school at Chiswick, to the proprietor of which he - was nearly related. They remonstrated with him on his neglect, and with some difficulty pre vailed. upon him to accompany them to town.-- • Accordingly, at the appointed hour, they.set out with the intention of taking coach at Turnham green ; but they had not walked more than three or four hundred yards, when he fell down hi the road, was carried to the Coach and Horses rib lic house, and in less than half an hour he ex pired with every appearance of having taken some very powerful poison.—A Coroner's In quest, however, has since been held upon the body, and a verdict of i‘ Natural Death" returned —a medical gentleman who attended the inquest having given his opinion that he died of apoplexy.
