A Greek, who has lately escaped from. Constantinople, af— firms, that within these five months no fewer than 90,000 Greeks have been put to death in that capital! (No. IV.) [Concluded from our Paper of Yesterday.] I have observed with much concern, that per sons of some talent, and of far more zeal than dis cretion, have thought they were doing the Clerks good service, by loading Ministers with coarse abuse and libellous invective. Nothing could possibly be less judicious or more improper. The Clerks stand in no such assistance. Their cause requires no such support. It is founded on the broad basis of equity, justice, and good faith, and if defended with prudence, temperance, and for titude, it will successfully resist ",the peltings of the pitiless storm," wltich the " cold calculators" have raised against it. MURDER OF MR. GOING. (FROM THE CORRESPONDENT.) P.m's, OCT. 17.—The mournful anniversary of the death of the late Queen, Maria Antoniette, was celebrated at all the chUrches of Paris on DUBLIN, OCT. 17.----Th e Privy Council, which met this day, has just broken up, and a Procla mation, offering a reward of .2,0001. for the dis covery of the perpetrators of the murder, has been issued. The opinion which we formed of the promptness with which measures would be taken for the apprehension of the murderers, and for the re-establishment of tranquillity, was the result of the character of an Administration that has uniformly governed the country without sacrificing any of the constitutional principles of liberty, or resorting to any species of rigour not sanctioned by the laws. Indeed, before the Proclamation was issued,,every precaution which the emergency of the case required was adopted, and accordingly orders were seat last night from Dublin Castle to Sir JOHN LAMBERT, who has the chief command of the military power in the South, to send a competent force to the disturbed districts, for the purpose of assisting the civil authority in the preservation of the peace. The following is a copy of the Proclamation By the Lord Lieutenant and Council of Ireland, 1- On PAINTING, by C.F. PACK, Esq.; to commence on Friday, the 2d of November, at Seven o'Clock in the Evening precisely, and to be continued on each succeeding Friday. 2 . On the ELEMENTS of CHEMICAL SCIENCE, by JOHN MURRAY, Esq., F.L.S. &c. ; to commence Oil Tuesday, the 6th of November, and to be continued on each succeeding Tuesday, at the same hour. 3 .'

The result of the operations of the Coinufercial Committee at Darmstadt do not allow us to entertain any well-founded hopes of seeing the wishes addressed to it by the Society Of Mei= chants and . Manufacturers realized. However well disposed the Governments may be to com ply with them, they meet with one obstacle which it is not easy to remove. Their revenues are partly calculated on the amount of the duties levied on their frontiers, and tho receipts would certainly diminish if there were no duties levied except on the external frontier of all the confe derated states. In' Bavaria, for instance, the net revenue of the duties is estimated at two and a half millions. If the duties hitherto levied on goods, the produce of the several. confederated states, were abolished, and only those articles taxed which came from states not belonging to the confederation, it would be necessary to cover the deficit to tax those last much higher. But the result would be that the consumption of these articles would greatly dimi n i s h, w hi c h wou ld accord with the wishes of the manufacturers of the country, but would not cover the decrease of the receipts on which the state has hitherto calculated. A PROCLAMATION. TALBOT, 'Whereas, We have received information, that, on Sunday, the 14th day of October inst., Richard Going, Esq., a Magis trate of the County of Limerick, and late.

It is difficult to imagine upon what principle of equity, of justice or of good faith this total ,dereliction of every thing that is honourable, 'I had almost-mticl i . of every thing thabis honest, can 'be suppoited. During the long period of the late eventful war, haS any solitary instance occurred, where a Clerk in any of the public offices has been even suspected of a breach of confidence ! Has the breath of slander, so ready on all occasions to attaint the reputation of men in public life, be their situations high or low, ever whispered ,an insinuation to that effect ? Has the public busi ness on any occasion suffered by their neglect? Has the minimum' price, at which a Loan was to be taken, been made known, until the Con tractors were informed of it by the Chancellor of the Exchequer ? Have not the notices of the numerous and splendid triumphs of our arms, by sea and land, been invariably published by the Lord Mayor before the meMbers of the Stock Exchange had any intimation of these events ? Were not the official communications of the sig nature of the Convention with Spain, respecting Ngotka Sound, and of the Preliminaries of Peace with France in 1802, posted up on the b ^gates of the Mansion House s before the Public had any idea that those Negotiations were drawing ,to a favourable conclusion ? I cannot here refrain from a quotation which appears to me to be "pat to my purpose," " Est et fideli tuts silentio coerces ;" and a pretty re ward seems to be in store for the " long, faith ful, and deligent services" of these unfortunate Clerks. One would rather suppose that their conduct had been the direct reverse of what it really was, and that the anathema of the Sabine Poet might with justice be applied to them— " Vetubo qui Cereris sacrum vulgarit arcena sub itsdem sit trabibus, fragilemve mecum solvat pha selurn." In that case they would indeed richly deserve the treatment with which they are threat ened, and the Heads of the several Depart. rnents would be justified in saying to them— " Begone, ye faithless and unprofitable servant's ; the same roof shall no longer cover US ; never again shall we sail together in the same boat." The Clerks entertain no such apprehensions. They look up, with grateful and well-founded confidence, to Lord Liverpool and to Lord Lon donderry, for succour and protection in this their hour of need. They know the characters of both those statesmen too well to believe it pos sible that the former will trample on his own acts, or violate his own engagements : or that the latter will forfeit a pledge given by Lord Castle reagh. They well remember that it was one of Lord Liverpool's first acts, on becoming Premier in 1809, to advocate and sanction, and in his qua lity of Chief Minister of the Crown to advise his Majesty to approve and confirm, those very arrangements which it is now proposed to do away. Nor can they forget that it is to the countenance and support of Lord Castlereagh, when holding the Seals of the Department of the War and Colonies, that they are mainly indebted for a measure so beneficial to their interests. Their just expectations are built upon a still more solid foundation. They are the holders of a con ditional promissory note for value received and services to be performed, drawn by Government, endorsed by the Crown, and accepted by Parlia ment. Having on their part fulfilled every con dition of the compact to the very letter, their claim on the country is indisputable :—lt is a debt of honour, as well as of justice, and it must, and will be paid. Dulwich, Oct. 18. MERCATOR. *• * We were 'sorry that a p ressure o f m att er o bli ge d us yes terday to omit what we have now inserted. We hope our in telligent correspondent will persevere in discussing a subject so interesting to the parties concerned,, as well as to the cause of justice and huthanity. MURDER AT HIGIIGA.TE.-112 . the expectation that circumstances might probably have been brought forward to implicate Barrett in the charge of murder, prior to the commencement of the Sessions, the Reverend Doctor Owen, of Highgate, on the last examination, appointed yes terday for Barrett andhis wife being again brought up in custody, in ' order that they might hear any evidence brought forward again4.them. Mr. Harmer, the solicitor for the prosecution, thought it, however, unnecessary for them to be brought from Newgate, the Sessions being so nearly approaching ; but in their absence, recommend ed -that every exertion might be made to for 3vard the ends of ' justice by tracing even the most frivolous matter to the bottom. It was intended to have brought forward a private watch man, late in the employ of Mr. Rothschild. who discharged him for having stabbed the coachman in a quarrel, but he .has not yet been found.— The prisoners, Barrett and his wife, 'stand fully committed for trial on the charge of robbery at Mr. Rothsthild'S, and it is expected that 'their trial will be brought 'forward at the Old Bailey in the course of next week. TWO THOUSAND POUNDS . 1 The same to be paid' in the following manner, to any Person or Persons who shall, withi n th e space of Six Calendar months from the date hereof, discover the Persons concerned in the said Murder, so as that they, or any of them, be apprehended, and prosecuted to conviction—that is to say, the suns of THREE HUNDRED POUNDS For each and every of the first Five, and • ONE HUNDRED POUNDS For each and every of the next Five Peisons concerned in the said Murder, as Perpetrators or Accomplices, who shall be ap. prehended and prosecuted to conviction as aforesaid. And, in order to induce"any of the accomplices in the said murder to make discoveiy thereof, we do hereby offer his Ma jesty's most gracious pardon to any of the said accomplices, except the person or persons who actually fired at the said Richard Going, who shall give information so as that the others, or any of them, may be apprehended and prosecuted to conviction, and so as said last mentioned discovery shall be made within the space of two calendar months from the date hereof. And we do hereby strictly charge and command all Mayors, Sheriffs, Bailiffs, and all others, his Majesty's loving subjects, to be aiding and assisting in apprehending all and every of the person or pFrsoris, who was or were concerned in the aforesaid murder, or in instigating the same, so WI that - he or they may be apprehended for the same, according to law.

We copy the following paragraph from the i17a310 Constitution :—" We are concerned to hear that the spirit of infatuation, which has seized upon the minds of the people in other coun ties, appears to have taken possession of some amongst ourselves. We have authority, which we cannot question, for stating, that m illegal oaths have been administered to a lamentable extent in this county, and that marauding parties have been recently in pursuit of fire-arms, and in some cases have succeeded in their ob ject, not many miles from this town. We do not make this statement for the purpose of creating alarm, but rather in order , to put people upon their guard, and that timely means may be taken to check the evil. We feel more of re gret than fear upon the occasion. We know that the delusion must vanish, but we shudder to con template the miseries it may entail upon its votaries. A Meeting of the Magistrates of this county, is called for Saturday next. Probably, their deli berations may refer to the subject of this short article." The following disgraceful fact occurred a few nights ago in the county of Kildare :—A tenant of Col. Bruen, from whom he had received no rent for two years (tolerable indulgence), and from whom his agent could not get any rent, was distrained, and a keeper left to watch the property ; on the succeeding night a party of men came to the pre mises, and havied lied the bailiff and the farmer, back to back, swept away the entire property, which was under seizure, on curs which they had ready for the purpose! Of this part of the out rage the farmer pretended total ignorance ! (Curlozo Morning Post.) DUEL.--It is with sincere regret we have to state that a duel was this morning fought near Belview, in this county, between PATRICK Do- NELAN, Esq. of Ballyeighter, and EDWARD CAL.. LANAN, of Eyrecourt, Esq. when, on the first dis charge of pistols, Mr. DONELAN'S ball entered the heart of his adversary, who, we need scarcely add, expired on the ~p ot.—(Galzony Chronicle.) EXORMOUS CARROT.-Yesterday, nr.GEORGE BOOTH, gardener, Mansfield, drew from his gar den a carrot of the following extraordinary weight and dimensions. Weight six pounds, and within four inches of the top (that not being the extremity of the girth) it measured 16 inches!! It consists of six separate branches, the centre one in particular being considerably larger than any carrot almost ever seen. ' To-day it was ex hibited at Mansfield market for public inspection, and allowed, by all who saw it,' to be the largest they eve witnessed.—(Doncasier` Gazette, Oc tober 19) Tuesday. Letters from Saragossa of the 3d announce, that the yellow fever has disappeared from Fraga, where only one person had been attached by the disorder, which he had caught at Mequineuza. The latter town is the only place in Arragon which is infected, and a cordon has been formed around it. Advices from Perpignan of the 6th state, that the contagion continues its ravages at Barcelona. The contagion has not manifested itself in any other towns of Catalonia. We read in The Journal de LNon of the 13th October, that letters received, from Marseilles the day before mention the appearance of the yellow fever at Leghorn. This news wants con.. firmation. MARSEILLES, OCT. 10.-Our intelligence re specting the state of our lazaretto and quarantine establishments is most satisfactory. We have now only one convalescent, and no sick in the lazaretto. The town is very healthy. VIENNA, OCT. 6.—[Extract of a Private Let ter.] —We have received news from Semlin, which state that one of the old Servian Chiefs, known by the share which he took in the insur rection of Czerni Georges, is now commanding a corps of the Insurgents in Moldavia, and has sent several agents into Servia, to induce the heads of the districts to rise in favour of the Greeks. This chief is the celebrated General Miloradowisch, who was often mentioned in the recital of the events which took place last sum mer in 'Walachia and Moldavia. He has been proscribed some time by the Turks,who have set a price on his head. It seems he possesses con siderable influence over his countrymen, but not sufficient to engage the Servian authorities in measures which may be 'attended with the most disastrous consequences to them. It is said a misunderstanding has taken place between the Pachas of Belgrade and Widdin, which has been referred to the Grand Signior, whose decision is daily expected. It is probable that one of them will incur the displeasure of the Sultan. It is strongly: reported that a corps of Alba. nians has gained a victory over the Turkish troops under Courscheld Pacha. FRANKFORT, OCT. 11.-(8.9 Ktpress.)—All Austrian ship which, left Zea on the Ist Septem ber,. and which lately arrived at Trieste, brings word that the different divisions of the Greek Fleet have returned to the ports of Itydria, Ip sara, and Spezia, tc) refit and obtain supplivs of ammunition and provisions. Letters from Calamatta, in the Morea, confirm the news that the fortress of Monembasia (Napoli) had capitulated to the Greeks. One hundred and twenty pieces of artillery, ten thousand muskets, and a considerable quantity of ammunition and stores fell into their hands. A letter from Posen announces the arrival of the Emperor Alexander at Witepsk. His Ma jest), will proceed immediately to the army of the west. IIAGuz, OcT. 15.—His Majesty opened to-day the Session of the. States General with a speech, in Which he gave a most satisfactory account of the present state of the kingdom. His Majesty states, that he continues to receive the most un equivocal testimonies of friendship from. other Powers ; and that notwithstanding the events in the Levant, there are still well-founded hopes that peace will be,maintained. The fears of an unfortunate harvest are vanished. Commerce and navigation have not been neglected ; and there is reason to hope that they,will be.come more animated. The manufactures have not prospered as Might' have been wished, but some of the most important have considerably improved of late, and there is 'little reason to complain of want of work. His. Majesty speaks with satisfaction . of the diffusion of knowledge among ..the people, and of the improvement Also of the fine arts.— The internal administration of the kingdom is: improving; the communcations are facilitated by , new roads; important works have been exeCuted . to prevent the inundations. of the Rhine,. and' others are contemplation ; a great reform is intended in the prisons ; the state of the 'finances is promising,and the new projects of laws on that subject are nearly ready. FROM THE FRONTIERS OF MOLDAVIA, SEPT. 20. —The cause of the Greeks in Moldavia seems for the present to be nearly desperate : 600 Turks having advanced on the 17th towards'the mountains, 300 Hetarists, with their chief leaders i Jordaki. and Farmaki, threw themselves into the covent of Sika, situated to the N.W. of Ayanez, at the foot of the mountains, which is provided with ammunition and provisions for some months. The rest of the Hetarists dispersed among the mountains ; 130 of them are to-day before the Austrian quaLrantine office at Bujascheskie„ and desire to be admitted into the Bukowina, which will not be granted as long as they are armed.— The convent of "Sika has been formally besieged by the Turks since the evening of the 17th, but as they have only light artillery, and the walls are very strong, they have hitherto done nothing and have lost many men by the skill of the marksmen of the Hetarists. In a sally which this handful of men made, they took from the Turks two bad cannon. The Turks amuse them selves from time to time with attempting to storm the place, in which they get only broken heads; according to the assurance of some Caloyers (Greek monks), who have fled hither, they have already lost above 1,000 men. The night before last we clearly saw. a large fire near Sika; it was SPAIN. [PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.] MAPRID, OCT. 5.—A most persevering and obstinate contest is carried on between the Poli tical Chief of Madrid and the Communcros who organized and defrayed the expellee of the last seditious procession when the portrait of Riego was paraded Armagh the streets. Macerone and Nunez, the leaders arid famous orators of the ci-devant club of the Fontana d'oro, are still ili the town prison, whence they publish the - most virulent letters against the Political Chief and the Minister of the Interior. The first of these public functionaries is accused by them of having forged the signature of his Secretary to the order which he issued for closing the club of the Fon tana; the Secretary himself has brought this charge against the Political Chief in the Journals, to which no answer has been made, but the Se cretary has been in consequence dismissed. Co lonel Serrano, Lieutenant-Colonel Cerutti, and Colonel Torrijos, of the regiment of Ferdi nand VII., in garrison at Madrid, have been sent to prison, and put into close confinement. This procedure will be still further pursued and it is reported that General Ballasteros and the Deputy. Romero Alpuente will be arraigned of high crimes. You can form no idea of the agitation winch prevails in this cipital. Every night an hum , nso multitude assembles in the room of. the Club of the Fontana, which they dared not shut up entire! c, because ; it is a public coffee-house. There the orators are requested to mount the tribune ; but as the prohibition is so rigorous that no person dares to infringe it, the enraged spectators vent the most horrible imprecations against the Go vernment. There are reasons for fearing the. Communcros are preparing a fresh blow, a n d th a t we shall soon bp involved in new troubles. A total change in the commanding officers of the different regiments of infantry and cavalry is talked of. The new Minister of War has dis played great energy and firmness in the late events. To his conduct are we indebted for the improved spirit of the army ; for within the last few days we observe the Spanish soldier declare warmly against the late disorders and seditious opinions. It appears, from information just communi cated to me, that the deputies possessed of the greatest influence have disapproved the conduct of the Ministers towards Riego ; on the other hand, it is certain that the King has informed his Ministers they must justify temselves to the rra 7 ‘ tion, and make known their reasons for-prose cuting a man who is regarded by all Spain as the founder of the constitutional regime in ,this country. The Ministers have declared their in ability to do so; and his Majesty rejoined, " Prepare then to retire, for I cannot retain a Ministry in opposition to the wishes-of the tiation.” CATALONIA PAPERS. 44 FUBLIC BEALTH. " From the 26th of September, inclusive, there died in Bar. celona,' including the Lazaretto and the Casa 'de la Vereina, (without the walls), 163 souls. " In the same period there died in Barcelonetta 116 souls. " In the same period in the Hospital del'Seminario theredied only 19, souls. " Published by order of the Junta of Health, (Signed , " FRANCISCO ALTES." From hence it appears that the'malignity of the fever is some what abated ; and it gives us additional satisfaction (days the Editor of the Spanish Journal) to find that the number of new cases have diminished in a greater ratio s so that we hope the next details we procure will be still, more satisfactory. Advices from Lerida, to the end ofSeptember, state that the fever had not then reached that place, or its neighbourhood. It is mentioned in an article from Saragossa, that the miser able inhabitants of Barcelona and Barcelonetta had suffered extremely from a want of provisions, and that, to relieve them, boats had been went, unmanned, •into port, laden with flour, &c. • The sails were set and the helm tied, so as to carry the vessels, • , with a favourable wind, into the harbour, where they were taken posse s sion of by the Municipal-Officers.
