were afterwards discovered to be agents of the rebel Ali Pacha of Joannina, who, in order to effect a diversion favourable to himself, had formed the plan to spread alarm in va rious parts of the Empire. According to the report of their Dervises the whole of the -Nl orea Was i n a state o f i nsurrect i on : Y psara a .i nct Y dra had also r evo lt e d ; th e y were arm i ng their vessels and cruizing at the entrance of the Gulf to stop the Ottoman vessels. After having thus excited the greatest uneasiness in the minds of the Turks, they said to them, ' Why do you delay to take arms ?—Will you have the Greeks first come and massacre your wives and chil dren?' The Magistrates arrested these Dervises, and thus prevented the ill consequences that might have arisen from these incitements to tumult. The Greeks, in order to give'a_proof that they were fat: from entertaining any such ideas as were imputed to them, offered to place all their arms in the hands of the Turkish Authorities, which was done without difficulty. However, the Janissaries, roused by the Proclamations of the Dervises, claimed their ancient privileges, which they had suffered to fall into disuse. They demanded, in consequence, to take the city under their protection, and that they should be com manded by their own Officers, which was granted . them ; so that besides, the Governor's guard we _lave now that of the Janissaries, which is an ad ditional security for our tranquillity. Since all . 'these inhabitants are, in general, persons in business, to - whom the Greeks owe large sums, their interest, therefore, requires that the Greeks should not be massacred, but, on the contrary, that they should be able to return to their usual occupations. Another circumstance, which serves to relieve us from all uneasiness, is, that the authority is at this moment in the hands of well-intentioned persons, who act in harmony with the Consuls of the European Powers. We Can, therefore, assure our correspondents that we shall not have any revolt to announce to them, and that the political existence of this country will not be compromised." It can hardly be necessary to remind our . Countrymen, or the People of all Countries, that this day is the anniversary of the glorious ATictory of Waterloo, which rescued Europe from the se *verest, most oppressive, and cruellest despotism that ever appeared among mankind. The wise S Ystern of the immortal PITT was firmly and Judiciously followed by ,the Government of this country ; it enabled us to hold out an example to all the States of Europe, roused t hem from timid submission, and at length ef fected their deliverance, and restored them to freedom and independence. This day then, like the Anniversary of the Birth-day of the illus. ;trious Founder of the System which has been productive of so much glory to - this Country, and advantage to the civilized World, should therefore be a day of universal triumph and rejoicing; but Britons particularly should " stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd," -nd to the end of time " Be in their flowing cups freshly iremembeed."

[From THE KENTISH GAZETTE.] " We understand that the decision in the House of Commons respecting the right of election for this Borough, has given very general satisfaction, and that it will completely restore the in habitants of the town to the enjoyment of their legitimate in fluence in the election of their Representatives in Parliament, which it appears had been usurped upwards of eighty years by the Lords of the Manor, who have during the whole of that period either filled the seats themselves or have nominated the individuals who have been successively returned as the Members for the Borough. The questions that arose in the course of the in vestigation were of the most interesting nature. It seems that a, strong spirit of opposition to the influence lately predominating in the Borough has long existed, and that so far back as the year 1774, Captain Luttrell (now Lord Carhampton) made an unsuccessful attempt to destroy it. From that period no indi vidual was induced again to come forward till 1818, when Na thaniel Atcheson; Esq. became a candidate in opposition to Hylton Jolliffe, Esq. and 6eorge, Canning, Esq. (now Lord Garvagh), but failed, in obtaining the return. Mr:Atcheson was a candidate a second time at the General Election in 1820, when he stood in conjunction with Colonel Camac, of the Ist Life Guards, but was also unsuccessfui, as well as upon the petition to the House of Commons against the Members re turned. The 'case lately decided arose out of the determination upon that petition, but was confined solely to the question re specting the right of Election for the Borough. Mr. Atcheson contended, on behalf of the Town, that the right of voting was in the burgesses, being the inhabitants, householders, resiants in the borough, and in the freeholders of lands and houses gene rally; without regard to entire antient tenements. Mr. Jol life, on the contrary, alledged, that it was only in the free holders of lands and houses, being entire burgage tenements.— The Committee in 1820 declared the right of election to be in the freeholders of such lands and dwelling houses as were entire antient tenements ; but the late Committee, which was a Com mittee of Appeal appointed under the Grenville Act, have re versed that decision, by determining ' That the right of elec tion for the Borough of Petersfieid is in the freeholders of lands, or antient dwelling houses or shambles built upon antient foun dations within the said Borough, such lands, dwelling houses, or shambles not being restricted to entire antient tenements,' so that lands and houses may now be divided to any extent ih this Borough. The right of the inhabitants was founded on an entry on the Journal of the House of Commons of 1658, de claring the right of Election to be in" the freeholders together with the burgesses.' It appears that the burgesses had on that occasion gone to an election upon a short notice, and surprised divers fr_;holders,' that is, all the freeholders who were not resident in the immediate vicinity of the Borough, who were compelled in consequence to assort their right by a petition to the House of Commons, whep the House annulled the return made by the burgesses solely, and declared the right to be jointly in the freeholders and burgesses. It further appeared that the returns from the 6th Edward VI. when the Borough was restored to the privilege of sending Members to Parlia ment down to the commencement of the usurpation by the- Lords of the Manor, were made either in the name of the Mayor and Burgesses or Mayor and Commonalty, .and were sealed with their common seal. The Borough first returned Members in the 35th Edward 1., but all the returns to that Parliament, it seems, are• lost, and there is no evidence to shew that Petersfield ever sent Members afterwards, till it was restored in the 6th Edward VI. " The Petitioners produced a variety of other evidence, which consisted principally of some charters in the reigns of Henry 2, and Richard 1, describing the Burgesses as inhabitants, and of some deeds and bonds of a later date, to which the Burgesses were parties. One of the charters was from John Earl of More. ton (afterwards King John), granting the town a guild of mer chants, and the same privileges as were enjoyed by the citizens of Winchester. Mr. Jolliffc, who was the sole petitioner in op position to the inhabitants, rested his case upon a resolution of the House of Commons in 1727, which was made in conse quence of a dispute amongst the Freeholders of the Borough as to the classes of them entitled to vote, the Lord of the Manor at that time contending that all persons who had afreehold inte rest in the Borough, including the proprietors of split tenements, and even of incorporeal hereditaments, had a right to vote ; and the others contending, on the contrary, that only the freeholders of lands, or ancient dwelling-houses or shambles, or dwelling houses or shambles built upon ancient foundations, were legal voters. He produced some evidence to shew that there were anciently burgage-tenants in the Borough, but it was of a very slight description ; •and he produced no evidence to shew that if there were burgage-tenants, they were, on any occasion what ever, in this Borough, designated as " Burgesses." One of the documents which he produced was a Decree of the Court of Ex chequer, dated in the Bth James Ist, and made in a suit be tween the Lord of the Manor, who was one of the Auditors of the Exchequer, and the Mayor and Burgesses of Petersfield, respecting the Manor and the waste lands, which were awarded to the plaintiff, but it was remarked that the plaintiff in his Bill did not in the most distant manner intimate that the defendants were his tenants, or that they owed him any suit or service, whilst the pleadings evidently shewed that the Burgesses were inhabitants of the Borough, which was at that period a place of considerable wealth and importance, and maintaining upwards of one thonsand persons by the manufacture of woollen cloths, and contributing at the public charge of the town forty men to the King's levies, besides those sent at every man's private cost. On the other part of his case, as to the freehold right of voting, he called five or six old persons, who swore positively that en tire freeholders only gave a right of voting, and that they had never heard any right claimed for divided freeholds ; but it turned out in the progress of, the investigation, that so far from the right never having been claimed for divided freeholds, the Lord of the Manor, the person from whom Mr. Jolliffe derives his title, actually relied upon his split votes in 1727, and that the great question then in dispute was whether a divided or split tenement conferred the right of voting. It also appeared that some of these witnesses had acted as faggots' for the Lord of the Manor at the late contested elections ; that one of them had twice been appointed by him Mayor of the Borough, and had twice been turned_out by process of law ; and that another was the present Mayor s who admitted that the same legal process which had been enforced against his prede. cessor was now in prosecution against himself. &nil is the short outline of this interesting case, of which we regret our limits prevent our giving a more ample detail ; but we cannot forbear remarking that the case must be considered highly im 'portant, not only as the decision has restored the town to the exercise of its fair influence in the choice of its representatives, after a long series of usurpation, and when it had been deemed irretrievably lost ; but as it tends to convince the rational and respectable part of the community that there is no indisposition on the part of the House of Commons to protect and uphold the just privileges of the people when they appear to be infringed and violated, and that they will never sanction usurpation;how ever long it may have existed, or however powerful the influ ence of the individual interested in its continuance." The decision in this case is the more important, as, being madel3y a Committee of Appeal appointed undq the.Qrenville Act, it is Unalterable, and finally concludes the Excilrx or Election for this.

Mr. RoDwELL was accompanied by Mr. O'CALLAGHAN, one of the Performers on his minor establishment; when the former, in rather an uncivil tone, demanded some explanation with respect to a letter he had received from the lessee of Drury-lane house. Mr. ItonwELL first asked Mr. ELLISTON if he was really the writer of th e _ _ letter which he held open in his. hand ? Being soon satisfied as to this particular point, Mr. R. called Mr. E. a " rascally scoundrel," and began to horsewhip Mr. E. Hereupon a scuffle took place, and Mr. E. being provided with " night preservers," a knock-down kind of side-pocket canes, leaded at both extremities, snatched this self-defence instrument suddenly from a private drawer, and inflicted two severe blows upon the forehead of Mr. It. Copious streams of blood flowed. Mr. O'CALLAGHAN now seized Mr. ELLSSTON by his arms; and so prevented the latter from repeating his blows. Alarmed by the noise, Mr. RUSSELL came into the room, and was followed by others who be longed to the Theatre. Mr. RUSSELL then en, deavoured to separate the parties. Mr. RODWELL still boasting that he had horsewhipped Mr. E.; and Mr. E. denying it, Mr. R. rushed on Mr. E., and said, to convince all present that he had horsewhipped Mr. E., he would repeat it, when he struck •Mr. ELLISTON several times with the horsewhip. Mr. E. closed on him, and forced the horsewhip from Mr. R.'s hand, and broke it to pieces. BOND, the Constable to the Theatre, having been sent for, Mr. R. was given into his custody, who brought him to Bow-street Office,' where he underwent an examination• before Sir R. BAKER, when Mr. E. proved by several wit nesses, that he was not . armed with the night preserver by design or in expectation of any at tack from Mr. RODWELL; but that he had been in the habit of carrying them for these eight months.—No defence was set up; and Mr. RODWELL entered into a recognizance personally for 1001., and to find sureties.—(Neza Times.) The Marquis of LONDONDERRY is much re covered from his attack of the gout. The Noble Lord received visits on Saturday from the Duke of WELLINGTON, the Earl of W EST.- WORLAND, and several others of the CAinet Ministers. The Duke of WELLINGTON gives a very grand entertainment this day, at his house in Picca dilly, being the anniversary of the memorable Battle of Waterloo ; to which all the Officers who were at that celebrated battle, belonging to his regiment (the Royal Horse Guards), are in vited. The band of that regiment are to be present, to play during the evening. An English Gentleman of rank, hi his recent tour on the Continent, availed himself of the oppor tunity, and had the honour of paying his respects to the Queen of WIRTEMEEITG ; to whom her Majesty expressed the perfect satisfaction she at present enjoyed in Germany, and her detertni , nation never again to visit England. COURT OF CLAIMS. Saturday the Court of Claims sat in the Painted Chamber, to 'consider further of all claims made, or to be made, for the per formance of services at his Majesty's Coronation. Business commenced at two o'clock, with the presentation, by the Re corder of London and the City Remembrancer, of a petition from the Lord Mayor, praying for leave to substitute one or two names in the place of others in the 'Lord Mayor's petition to the Court of Claims last year, for the assignment of a place for himself and twelve citizens at the coronation festival, in Westminster Hall. One or two alterations in last year's list had occurred by deaths, and the present application was to fill up the blanks. When the Recorder had handed in this petition, twelve War dens of the Liveries of the City of London made their appear ance with another petition, stating they were the Wardens for the present year of the Liveries named in the Lord Mayor's petition of last year, and they therefore claimed the privilege of having their names inserted instead of those already set down, and who were the retired, not'the present Wardens. The Earl of HARUOWBY said, that that Court knew nothing of who were or who were not Wardens of the City of London Liveries, nor had any persons, as Wardens, & right of presence at the Coronation. The Lord Mayor, ex officio, had a right, and his Lordship was also to beaccompanied by twelve citizens, but the latter it was , for him, not the Court, to nominate. The claim, therefore, of the twelve wardens for the present year was rejected. The claims of Lord GWYDIR, as Deputy Chamberlain, act! Lord ORMOND, as Chief Butler of Ireland, to attend at the Co ronation, were then put in by the respective Lords, and refer red to the King in Council. Mr. DY MOKE'S claim to appoint his son, a minor, to per ' form the office of Champion, was then discussed. Mr. GASELEE was heard at considerable length, as Counsel. for Mr. Dymoke, in support - of his claim. The Learned Coun sel contended that t cf ancient right, the family of Dymoke were entitled, as Lord of the Manor of ScriVelsby, tnot only to per form the office of Champion at the King's Coronation, but is case of inability- from sex or situation, as in the present case, (Mr. Dymoke being a clergyman, and as such unable to offi, ciate in person as Champion) to appoint a deputy. The Learned Counsel cited records from the ancient Coronation Rolls in support of his positions, but admitted that, as here, Mr. Dy mpke's son, the proposed deputy, was a minor, he being but twenty years of age last March, he could not officiate, except by leave of the King. The Court was cleared, and on the re-admission of strangers below the bar, it was announced, that the Rev. Mr. Dymoke ought to be excused from officiating as Champion, on account of his being a cleygyman, and that he should be allowed to ap, , point " a sufficient dephty." The Court then adjourned until Friday next: SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.—Saturday a drover was brought up on a complaint made against him by Mr. MARTIN, off}al way, for having maltreated some animals under his charge. It appeared, from the statement of Mr. Martin, that the prisoner some days ago was driving a flock of sheep down Newrate-street, when, being very numerous, they blocked up the street, and could not get on so fast as he wished. The prisoner, however, began to lay about at a most furious rate with his stick onthose sheep which were in the rear. He . gave some order to-h t s dp g , who, misunderstanding hi m , came in for a share of the beating which his master had given to the sheep with so m uc h crue l* It appeared further in the course of the statement, which Mr. Martin made with great eloquence, that the prisoner was at the time without his badge. The Sitting Magistrate, Sir J.
