They contain a few additional Particulars respecting the progress of the Greeks, 44(1 communicate extracts from a private letter, dated from Constantinople on the Ist of August, 1 : 7 w hich it appears t h at the Ordinance of the Iman OMAR EL RnA - rin has been revived, and ordered to be strictly carried into effect. This Ordinance is directed, not against the Greeks, but against Christians in general, whom it re aces to a condition more degenerated and more lamentable than that of the brutes under Turkish Inasters. Is it not probable, if this be true, that the account we presented to our Readers yester day, from C onstantinople, stating that the Porte had be en suppo r t e d b y t h e A m b assa d ors o f some of t he Eur opean P owers, is substantially correct, na 4ri ha s embold ene d th e T ur k s to rev i ve t hi s -we mh/u s and oppressive Ordinance ? And what are t o think of those Christian negociators, whose sole object is t o maintain the integrity of the Ot t°rnan Enl pire in Europe ? The following are e xtract s of the Constantinople letter, communi cating a copy of the Ordinance in question : tnCON'STAXTTNOPLE, AUG. I.—When the first intelli ce of the insurrection of the Morea arrived at the Divan, ~1 1eO that i nsurrection was found to extend daily, and when the victory gained by the Greek flotilla ov er th e Ott oman fl ee t to describe th at success an alarming importance, it would be difficult 1114c iter ibe to wh at an extent of exasperation the Mahometan Perstition, roused anew, seemed to be transported on the ~(11444a.linoetnent of the appalling news. The numerous ex ti:ns of the Greeks who were the most distinguished e chur c h , in public offices, and for their property, ste_ jectsiltlY proved t o E urope how extensive were their pro- ofthe 'f vengeance. The exasperation was too great for any members of th e Di van to attempt to disguise his rhat.ls• It h as i nvariably been affim red that the plan of !creiiig was not intended to be general, but confined to caus -11;:24el. the Cl i l iefs only to b e d ecap i tate d .

A ugust ( I% lee 3 f rom Co nstantinople up to the 9th of gust have been received. They state that the faro de STROGONOFF had sailed from Buyuk lireiOn the evening of that day, the wind hav titll s I:f ted and become favourable. During the e the Baron Was on board the French Frigate in which he and his suite took their passage for Odessa, a very active correspondence was carried on between him and the Ambassadors of England and Austria, from which great hopes of the con tinuance of peace were entertained. In oppo sition to our Constantinople article of yester day, it appears by this subsequent communi cation that the negotiation in favour of the Greeks is supported by all the Foreign Am bassadors at Constantinople. The last accounts from Odessa are dated the 11th of August ; at that date the Baron de STROGONOrF had not ar rived, but he was expected daily. The march of Russian troops to the yurkish frontiers continues without ceasing. The intelligence from Smyrna of the 17th of July is of a contradictory nature ; one account representing the town as perfectly tranquil, while another states that all commerce is at an end, and that not a day passes on which some Greeks are not massacred. The news of the Greek insurrection in Candia had increased the state of exasperation among the Turks. It appears the Asiatic Turks are march ing in great force to Scala Nuova, a Sea port opposite to Samos, with a view of invading that island. The numbers destined for this enterprise amount to 80,000 men, but none of them have been able to effect the passage, in consequence of the vigilance of the Greek cruizers. Even should they succeed in making the descent, the Greeks of Samos, consisting of 40 or 50,000 individuals, are prepared to give them a powerful resistance. The masters of these Austrian vessels, who arrived at Venice from Smyrna on the 17th of August, saw the Turkish fleet which had just passed through the Darda nelles, and heard that the Greeks were prepar ing to attack it. A letter from the lonian Islands, dated the 31st of July ; says, that the Archbishop of Achaia, GEaMANO, has published an Address to his countrymen, dated July 14, informing them that tC the whole of the Peloponnesus is in their pos session. Lala, Dimizzana, Lautenna, Phanaris, T ripolizza, Kalavrita, Vortezza, and Monembasia, are free under the banners of the Cross ! and seven hundred and twenty-four towns are delivered from the yoke of the Turks. Our cruel enemies, shut up in their strong places, only wait an op portunity for escaping. Already are they suf fering the horrors of famine ; and in a few months hence our efforts will be crowned with complete success. The banner of the Cross l floats over all Bceotia, Livadia, Etolia, and Acar nania. The municipal authorities are eitablished in the principal towns. Our corn and cattle are secured in the interior of the mountains, and if the Turks arrive, they will find no means of sub- sistence." It is reported that a French army of observa tion, 60,000 strong, will be immediately as sembled in the vicinity of Strasburg. FRENCH FUNDS. Sept. 4, Five per Cents. Bank Stock 1547 f. 50 c. The following is from a New Orleans Paper, dated the 20th of July last : " Mrxsco.—The state of the Royal cause in Mexico appears to be almost as desperate as among the Sambos at Carraccas. A British fri gate, which lay at Vera Cruz in the middle of May, was hastily dispatched from that place, and several vessels had been dispatched for Vera Cruz to bring all British property. Every means usually resorted to in the last extreme of danger were in operation at Vera Cruz. Every man that could be found, without regard to colour or country, was seized and sent into the garrison of St. Juan." [From the Santa Martha Gazette, June 14 " General NIARIANO MONTELLA makes known to the troops generally, for their satisfaction, that the smaller forces of the Republic, under the command of JOSA PADELLA, have succeeded in forcing the passage of the Entero, which had been obstructed by the enemy; and that in consequence of this event, they have taken possscssion of the Lagoon of Cartha gene, whereby the city is deprived of its fishery and provisions, with which it otherwise could have been supplied, and of the possibility of sending out forces through that channel. " FRANCISCO DE REGUA." The Proclamation of ODYSSCEUS (Ulysses) Commander-in-Chief of the Macedonians, cannot be read with out exciting the most powerful emotions. " TILE FLAG OF LIBERTY FLOATS ON TIIE SUMMITS OF OLYMPUS AND PINDUS !" Magic sound !—how long is it since it has been heard ! From those classic eminences, the demons of rapine and murder have alone looked for ages over the scene of desolation, created by a ferocious and destroying tyranny. They have re sounded with the cries of the oppressed, and the insulting shouts of the oppressors—the groans of the slave, and the blas phemous imprecations of the tyrant ; but the reviving Genius of Greece has driven from them the Ministers of devastation,—has unfurled from their sacred summits the standard of libLrty,—and in the name of their country, their children, their forefathers, and their GOD, calls around her, in the universal language of nature, those Gceeks who are de sirous to prove themselves worthy of the glory of their ances tors, and of the emancipation of their posterity. May the blessing of Heaven attend the banners of the regenerators of their country ! May the crescent of the infidel be trodden under foot by the phalanx of Macedonians who fight for their altar and their homes, under the inspiring in fluence and holy protection of the Cross ! May the sword which has so long scourged the finest countries of Europe be broken to pieces, and the barbarians whg,have so long steeped it in the blood of their victims be driven back to their native wilds. The Proclamation of ODYSS-EUS can scarcely be read without tears of mingled pleasure, and shame, and anguish, and hope. We sympathise alike in his patriotism, in his struggles, in his hopes, and in his dangers. The burning blush of shame dies the forehead with the con sciousness that the apathy of England in this glorious cause has already exposed her to the reproaches of her more generous rivals. 'Was she descended from the proud elevation on which she was looked up to by surrounding nations as the Guardian of Freedom ; and is she content, instead of leading the van in the glorious warfare of humanity, to become the 'Ally of the foulest despotism that ever stained Europe with its presence? Has she lost the noble impulse given to her spirit by her his torians, her senators, and her poets ? " Thy spirit, INDEPEXDENCE, let me share,— " Lord of the lion heart and eagle eye ; " Thy steps I follow with my bosom bare, " Nor heed the storm that howls along the sky. " Deep in the frozen regions of the north, " A Goddess violated brought thee forth, " Immortal LABE RT Y,—whose look sublime, " Hath blanch'd the Tyrant's cheek in every vzrying clime." If the Greeks be abandoned to their fate by the Allied Powers, the Sun of Independence, we fear, will for ever set for them. The amnesty said to have been stipulated for in the Russian ULTIMATUM will be disregarded by the blood hounds, whom no ties can bind. "Amongst us," says Mr. ETON, " the unsuccessful revolt of a whole province would in deed give birth to some additional rigour, and to some striking example of punishment ; but the ferocious Turk proposes nothing short of extermination, in order to free him self from the fear of future defection. It was thus, that when the inhabitants of the iliorea, who, instigated by the desire of liberty, had taken up arms in favour of Russia, returned under their yoke, a deliberate proposal was made in the Divan TO SLAUGHTER THEM ALL IN COLD BLOOD, innocent and guilty, of whatever age or sex. Nor was this the first time that the MASSACRE OF THE WHOLE GREEK NATION HAD BEEN SERIOUSLY DEBATED ;" and the hellish design was only abandoned, from the consideration that the revenue would lose the CAPITATION TAX ! " Even without provoca tion, Sultan MusTArA, on his accession to the throne, pro posed to cut off ALL THE CHRISTIANS IN THE EMPIRE•.; and was with difficulty dissuaded from it !" Are the Turks or their Government deserving that relations of amity should longer be preserved with them ? Let the renewed outrages, which have again deluged the streets of Constantinople with Chris tian blood, answer the question. In another part of our paper, under the head " PELOPONNESUS," - we have inserted an in teresting article, which will be read with pleasure by the public. Extract of a Letter from Bahia of 26th June We are quiet in politics, with every likeli hood of continuing so; in fact, as far as the po litical change has elicited public feeling as yet, the country is perfectly satisfied with the new order of things. The elections for Deputies to the Cortes have lately been going on with great order and spirit: we hear the people that have been chosen are not so conspicuous, in many in stances, for either wealth or learning, as for cha racters of known integrity and honour—this is as it should be. Our Provisional Government is most popular, and there is no danger of a change; it is happily secured in the attachment of the people, and all classes of them are perfectly sa tisfied with the present order of things. In Rio, we regret to see the military maintain an undue influence in the Councils : the Conde dos Arcos has been lately deposed and sent home prisoner to Lisbon. This nobleman, and deservedly, has a great many admirers in this country, and his disgrace is by no means a popular measure, though our Gazettes are very acrimonious." Extract of a letter dated Baroda (East Indies), April 4 :—" We are all in a bustle here on account of the arrival of orders for our regiment to march en the 7th for Morassa, a place about 250 miles to the northward. When we arrive there, we are to be joined by some other regiments. What the nature of the service will be, or what sort of an enemy we shall have to encounter, we are quite uninformed." BRITISH ARMY IN INDIA.--MS Majesty's Royal Scots Regiment, 2d battalion, is quarter ed at Trichinipoly, Madras Establishment. The 45th Regiment is now quartered in Kandy, Cey lon, and the 83d and 16th Regiments are quar tered at Colombo. The Ist Ceylon Regiment is now stationed at Kandy, and the 2d at Colombo. It is reported that the 2d Ceylon Regiment, now stationed at Colombo, Ceylon, under the com mand of Lieutenant-Colonel SMELT, will relieve his Majesty's 73d Regiment at Trincomalee.

The latest letters received from his Lordship came on Wednesday last, dated from Port Patrick. He comes by way of Scotland.—(Morning Paper.) We lately stated, that the KING'S intended visit to Wynnstay was given up. Some of the distinguished persons who had been invited to meet his MAJESTY have returned home. Among them were the Duke and Duchess of NORTHUM BERLAND. Their Graces and suite, on Tuesday, passed through Liverpool from Wynnstay, for their seat, Alnwick, Northumberland. POETRY.

THE THEATRE.—The amusing opera of The Marriage of Figaro, which has been so popular on other stages, was brought forward last night at the New Theatre, Haymarket, and altogether so well cast, and so well supported, that it af forded high gratification to a very numerous audience. JONES was the Count, and his merit is too well known to require our praise. Miss CAREW was very interesting in the Countess, both in acting and musical excellence, and well deserved the applause which she received. DE , CAMP, who is now one of the easiest performers on the stage, gave all due spirit and humour to the part of Figaro. TAYLEURE, who made his first appearance on the London boards, at this theatre, and whose talents do not appear to have yet reached the proper standard of public esti mation, was very successful in the Drunken Gardener. The Page was supported with true characteristic vivacity by MPS. CHATTERLEY. LEONE-LEE, another importation from the pro vincial boards, was very respectable in Fiorilli, and sung with such taste as very properly pro cured Um the compliment cit an encore.

William Pitt," which was drunk with much enthusiasm, and followed by the song of " The Pilot that weather'd the Storm."—Nu merous other appropriate toasts were given with the usual honours, and. the evening passed off with the utmost unanimity and conviviality. A GENUINE IRIS? BuLr..—The porter of a Dublin grocer was brought up by his master on a charge of stealing CHOCOLATE, which he could not deny.

ALDERMAN DARLEY. [FROM THE DUBLIN EVENING HERALD.] IMFORTANT COMMUNICATION TO LORD FINGAL. It has never fallen to our lot to publish any document which we consider so important to Ire land as the following statement : On Sunday Lord Fingal, with some other distinguished per sonages, dined with Mr. O'Connell in Merrion-square. In the course of the evening his Lordship received a message from Mr. Grant, acquainting him that he had a communication to make on the part of the Government. His Lordship lost no Lime in waiting on the Chief Secretary, who apologized for send ing for him at so unseasonable an hour, by stating that it was the wish of his Majesty, that what he had to impart should be made known to his Lordship, and through him to the Catholic Body, before his Majesty's departure from Ireland, which was fixed for the following day. Mr. Grant then proceeded to state, that Lord Sidmouth, by the directions of the King, had sent for Alderman Darley, and made known his Majesty's strong displeasure at that Magistrate's conduct at the late civic entertainment. Lord Sidmouth, he added, had inquired into the character of Alderman Darley, and found that be fore this transaction he was a meritorious officer. He had learned, besides, that he had a large family, and had ex pressed the strongest contrition for his offence. These con siderations had induced his Majesty to abstain for the present from marking his displeasure in the most exemplary way, and • to confine the punishment of the transgressing party to a severe reprimand. In conclusion, Mr. Grant stated, that though his Majesty wished it to be understood, that, in respect to this incident, he acted altogether from his own feelings, he (Mr. Grant), was nevertheless authorised by Lord Sidmouth to state that the sentiments of his Lordship, relative to the cir cumstance, altogether coincided with those of his Royal Master, and that instructions had been given to the Lord Lieutenant to conduct the Government of this country on principles in accord ance with these sentiments. The communication to Lord Fingal was altogether a verbal one. As, however, it was intended i`or publicity, his Lordship felt the necessity of drawing up a m i nute of it, and submitti ng it to Mr. Gr a nt, for the purpose of obviat ing all possible mistake touching a matter of such extreme import ance. The proceedings of yesterday impeded the execution of his Lordship's design—but we expect to receive a document for publication before the close of this day. If it arrives in any time, it shall be given in a Second Edition. We shall only add a line to sav, that the Catholic body are perfectly satisfied at this mode of dealing with the offending party, whom, for the sake of the country, they wish to see corrected, but not made an absolute victim even of his own imprudence. ist * The imprud e nt t oas t a ll u d e d to we bel i eve was " The glorious Memory of King William the Third," a toast certainly improper at a convivial Meeting of Protestants and Catholics, when nothing to have been introduced that could tend in any respect to disturb the general harmony on so loyal and festive an occasion. But we think that too much has been made of this matter, as the Alderman could not be supposed to act from any improper motives, and probably was influenced by his reverence for the memory of a Monarch, to whom we are in debted for the restoration of our glorious Constitution in Church and State.

S G G LING.- The statement in our last, as to the 'affray in the night of :Saturday, on the Isle of Thanet coast, between the Smuggkrs and :t party of the Coast Blockade, from the diffi cul:y of obtaining correct information at the moment, and the caution consequent on these occasions, was unavoidably erro neous. The following may, however, be depended upon as authentic : " On Sunday morning last, about two o'clock, a small galley rowing six oars, attempted to work a cargo of spirits in Marsh Bay, near Margate, and was discovered in her approach to the shore, by a seaman of the Coast Blockade on the look out, who instantly gave the alarm, when an officer (Mr. Washington Carr), accompanied by two of the seamen of that service, proceeded towards the spot and there encoun tered e. party of smugglers, about one hundred in num ber, most of whom were armed, and beginning to dis charge the cargo. In their advance, Mr. Carr and his men were fired upon by the smugglers, but rushing on to the charge, they succeeded in forcing the smugglers (who were also galled by the fire of two other men of the Coast Blockade in an oppo site direction) to drop and relinquish all the tubs or casks, 15 in number, and at the same time to disperse themselves in the greatest consternation, leaving behind them one musket, the stock and lock of another, two - hats, a handkerchief, and several large bludgeons ; and from the quantity of blood which marked the direction of their retreat, it is conjectured some of them were severely wounded. The boat at the same time put oil; and if she had on board any more goods, there can he little doubt but that they were sunk or altogether abandoned ; as no thing on shore escaped the vigilance of the party. In the cuifiict Mr. Carr received a severe wound on the head, supposed from a sabre, and one of his men was also wounded from a shot, but it is satisfactory to add, both are doing well.—lt is understood that most of the smugglers were labouring men collected from the interior of the country, and hired for the occasion, many of them from the vicinity of this city ; and it is to be regretted that the reward should be so great as to tempt them to engage in such illicit practices."—(Kentish Gazette, Sept. 7.) The naval command at Cork is, it is said, to be reduced on the expiration of the time for which Admiral Sir JosIAH ROWLEY was ap pointed ; and a frigate, instead of a line-of-battle ship, is to bear the flag of the Commander in Chief. Admiral Lord COLVILLE, it is said, will be the successor of Sir J. ROWLEY.—(Cork In telligencer.) It must afford to every friend of his country real satisfaction to learn, that in most of our principal manufacturing places, great activity prevails at the present moment.—(Worcester Journal.) DELICATE BENEFICENCE.--.BUONAP.AR.T E , when Emperor of France, ordered letter boxes to be fitted up in all the churches of Paris, where the virtuous poor, without their delicacy being wounded, could, as they pass, deposit a note ex pressive of their wants. These boxes were only opened by the higher clergy, who were sworn to secresy ; and the wants of the parties were thus relieved without any of the humiliating circum stances of a public application. `We hear that of the prisoners sentenced to death at the late Assizes for this county, five are left for execution, among whom is Wiliam White, a notorious character, from this city.-- (Bath Herald.) SHEFFIELD, SEPT. s.—An inquest was held here yesterday, which returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against a man of the name of Mosely, who brutally stabbed John Mackay, in a public-house, with a butcher's knife, in conse quence of some offence taken at a trifling inci dent. Mosely is committed to York Castle.
