If this should really be the result of th e " i lais, which a ll E uro p e i s o bs erv in g with 13 ' 44 intense anxiety, every possible motive will e added to those which already exist, in order induce the British Government, or at least the British Public, to afford such supplies of Ines and money, but principally money, as shall enable the wretched Greeks to achieve their own independence. By this sublime act of justice, ge nerosity, ana'"o , :nevolence, the English nation will no t °nly acquire an eternal claim to the gratitude o f the Greeks, but she will have a still stron ger 5 r rnotive.for drawing closer those moral tea ' by an allianc e , p o liti ca l an d c ommerc i a l, whic h regenerated Greece must be proud to con tract t with England. The mutual interest of bot h nati ons w ill b e a guarantee for t h e dura b 111t Y of these ties. Greece having no distant "l "ies will have neither the means nor the de 3ire to create or to acquire them, but she will al nays stand in need of colonial commodities, and it must be from England that she must ob tain t hem. In return, th e natural produc ;n3 of Greece, w hi c h th e c li ma t e o f G rea t Britain refuses to her, will probably augment 17 ith her population ; and England, by establish ing a very advantageous exchange for her corn- Inerce, may open a prodigious outlet for her mu- Vactured goods, of which the Greeks will cer tainly stand in need, and which by the nature of thi ngs they cannot procure at home."—lndepen dent of these obviogs reasons, there are many Oth ers Which render it highly desirable that the liberation of Greece should be effected by the assistance of this country, with the intervention of Russia.

GREENLAND FISHERY. VirftiTnY; Atro. I.—Arrived oft' the port the Vigilant, of London, from Greenland, with 14 fish, 180 tons ; and North Briton, of Hull, frOm ditto, a full ship.

I am directed by the Committee for managing the affairs of Lloyd's, to acquaint you that they have been in correspondence with the Committee of the Society of Ship Owners, on a Plan for the purpose of affording assistance to Vessels in distress, at Sea or on the Coast ; and they intend to recommend by public notice (copy annexed) to Owners, and Masters of Ships, that their Vessels should be provided with Rockets and Blue Lights, and in case of distress, in the first instance to fire a Rocket, and then burn Blue Lights until relieved.—The Committee of Ship Owners mean to write to the British Consuls at Ports abroad, soliciting them to endeavour to procure the adoption of this plan by Foreigners ; and this Committee having no doubt that, if carried. generally into effect, it will be the means of saving many valuable Lives and much Property, they request that you will give the measure all the publicity in your power for the information of Owners and Masters of Vessels, and the Boat men belonging to your Port. I am, your very humble Sen. ant,' (Signed) JOHN BENNETT, jun. Secretary. DEPUTIES, " MESSIEURS—NapoIeon is no more ! we claim his remains. The honour of France requires this restitution ; and what the honour of France requires will be accomplished. She cannot endure, that he who was her Chief—that he whom she saluted with the designation of Great, and the title of Emperor, should remain as a trophy in the hands of foreigners ; and that every Englishman may say, on shelving an insolent monument, Here is the Emperor of the French.' " We have the honour to be, with the most profound respect, " Messieurs, " Your very humble and very obedient servants, " The Baron GOURGAUD, Ex-Aid-de-Camp, of NAPOLEON. " The Colonel FABVIER. " The Count ARMAND de BRIQUEVILLE. " FRANCOIS CASSIN (de Nantes). " HENRY HARTMAN, Manufacturer. " Paris, July 14, 101." The Camel storeship arrived on Wednesday morning at Portsmouth from St. Helena, which she left on the 27th May. She has brought to England the suite of the late NAPOLEON, com posed of the Count and Countess Bertrand, and four children, Count Montholon, Professor An tonitnarchi, surgeon ; Signor Vignoli, priest; Marchand, valet ; Novarez, and wife ; St. Denys, and wife ; Archambault, groom ; Pierron, Ist maitre d'hotel ; Courceau, 2d ditto; Ettienne Bronge, servant to Count Bertrand ; Chandelier, a cook, and two Chinese cooks. Colonel Nichol, who has reached town with dispatches, and part of the 66th regiment, also came in the Camel. — The remainder of the regiment is on its return to England in the Abundance store-ship, which was to sail from St. Helena a fortnight after the Camel. The Doris frigate for. Rio de Janeiro remained at St. Helena, wind bound. None of Napoleon's suite had been allowed to land.— They . awaited permission from London, which, as all danger is now passed, will not of course be refused. When intelligence of the death of Buonaparte reached Baden, Prince Eugene and the Duchess Dowager Stephania of Baden caused the invita tions, which they had issued for that day, to be countermanded, and immediately put on mourn ing. The King of Bavaria, who was at Baden at the time, obser. - ed the most profound silence on the subject. We are anxious for dispatches from Vienna, to know what the Court of Austria has done under this circumstance.—(Courier Francaise.) MRS. INCIIDALD.—With feelings of deep re gret we have the melancholy task of announcing the death of this lady. She died on Wednesday last, at the Boarding House, Kensington. Her talents are well known to the world, by works that will always be admired ; and her character, by those best acquainted with her, was held in high esteem and regard. Her mind had an ori ginal 'cast, and her literary style was peculiar, terse, pointed, and impressive. By exemplary industry an4rudence she had raised herself into a state of comfortable independence; but she had a liberal heart, and deprived herself of many en joyments, in order to provide for relations who stood in need of her assistance. She was ani mated, cheerful, and intelligent, in conversation, and her remarks were not taken on trust, but were the effects of acute penetration. Her dra matic productions and her novels, A SIMPLE S CORY, and NATURE AND ART, spew a deep knowledge of the human heart, and those novels in particular are well calculated to improve it. She was very handsome in youth, and retained much of her beauty and elegance till her death. Those who did not know her real character, and the benevolence of her,nature, considered her prudence as parsi mony ; but she was capable of the most generous actions, and, having secured her great object, independence, she was always the ready friend of distress. As a proof that prudence and not parsimony governed her actions, she was offered a thousand pounds, by two different Booksellers, for Memoirs of herself, which she was known to I ave written, and only extended to the period when she fixed her residence in London, but she declimd both offers, conceiving that such a publication would be improper during her life.—We hope, however, that they will be given to the world, persuaded as we are that they were written with sincerity, and that they contain nothing but what will do honour to her memory, and afford an instructive les son to mankind. She was about sixty-six years of age, but appeared to be much younger. Though beautiful in person, and in the early part of her life exposed to the hardships and vicissitudes of the theatrical profession, in a provincial career, her conduct was unimpeached, and unimpeach able, and society has seldom suffered a heavier loss than in the death of this truly estimable ivornan. The following is an Extract of a Letter from the Captain of a vessel employed in the Expedi tion under Lord COCHRANE " Bay of Huyacho, Coast of Peru, March 26,1321. "S. MARTIN and his army are still lying here. It is ex pected Lima will soon fail, as they have no way of getting pro visions sufficient for such an immense number of inhabitants as it contains. The port of Callao is blockaded by the Patriot squadron. On this Coast there are oily two Spanish frigates, which . have run a great way to leeward, .and now about. Panama, being afraid to spew themselves on the coast of Peru. There have been a few skirmishes between the Royal and the patriot troops, but the latter have always been successful." Private letters from Holland state, that the law for the reduction of the Transit Duties in Holland has passed the two Chambers—to take place on the Ist of January, 1822. The duty, which was four per cent. is to be only per cent. This is a measure of considerable importance to the mer cantile world, and will, it is supposed, materially affect the trade of the Hanseatic towns, as much of the trade which is now carried on at those ports will probably be transferred to the ports of Holland. The Dutch are getting the start of us in the endeavour to make their country the gene ral warehouse of Europe. NOTICE. The Committee of the Ship Owners' Society, in concurrence with the Committee for Managing the Affairs of Lloyd's, re corpmend in the strongest manner to Owners and Masters of Ships, that Vessels should be provided with a dozen Rockets, and three dozen Blue Lights, to be used in the following man ner, in all cases of distress ; as the means by which many Ves sels and Lives may be saved, viz.—First, a Rocket to be fired.—' Secandly, Blue Lights to be burned, until relieved.

SIBLEY, who has orders to get ready for sea with all possible dispatch. -Some of our contemporaries' have been stating, with great apparent precision, the particular re ductions which are to take place in our Militar Establishments. Tile fact is undoubtedly cor rect that the Government are occupied in making arrangements for considerable reductions, in con formity with the pledge !riven, by the Address to which they agreed at the close of the Session, but those arrangements are not as yet sufficiently matured to permit of any detailed statement of their. nature and extent.—Cirornin,_9: .Post.) Accounts have been received at Copenhagen, from Christianburgit, the principal of the Danish settlements onthe coast of Guinea. It appears that Major STAFFENS, the Military Commandant of that station, has recently had occasion to put in force, in a very marked manner, the rigorous orders he has received froth, his Government, to prevent every sort of traffic in slaves. A Portu guese slave vessel, supported by another vessel of the same class, but well armed, made itSTappear ance before Thamrna, a town under the Danish. sovereignty, with the intention of, making some purchases there. of slaves. Major STAFFENS im mediately occupied the place with one thousand men, and made the Portuguese Captain and a part of his crew prisoners. The Major has sent them to Sierra Leone for trial. We are sorry to add, that two Englishmen were seized at the same time, for participating in the diabolical traffic; they had been delivered to the Commander of the English Fort of St. James, and will, it is said, be sent to London' to be. tried. - The Chief of the town is supposed to have had a secret un derstanding with the Slave Merchants. The vessel which accompanied the Portuguese trader, and whicfi is said to have been Dutch, effected its escape. Mrs. M.

BRIGHTON, AUG. 1.-The anxious expecta tions to which The various preparations for his MAJESTY'S return to this place had given birth, a re now lost in one common feeling of regret, which, though unavailing, feelingly expresses the ardent loyal character of the place. The Duke of YORK, however, is on the point of paying us a visit.— The house, No. 8, in the Palace adjuncts, last year the temporary residence of the KING, has been fitted up. to receive him, and his Royal Highness will be expected there on Friday or Saturday. The stay of the Royal Duke with us, it is said, will include a period of about three weeks or a month. Miss STEPIIENS concluded her engagement at the Dublin Theatre on Saturday night. The New Operatic% Play called Don John, or the Two Vialettas, founded on BEAUMONT and FLETCHER'S comedy of The Chances, was pro duced forithe first time on Saturday night at the Dublin Theatre. At the end of the piece, when Mr. FARREN came forward to announce it for repetition, the " Ayes" and " Noes" appeared to. divide the house. Perhaps 'there was a small preponderance on the side of the dissen tients---but this was by no means certain. The Manager, however, with becoming deference for the opinion of a very large portion of the au dience, changed his announcement, and gave out Guy Alannering.

Cii,CUii WINCHESTER ASSIZES, Aua. 2. On Monday evening Mr. Baron GRAHAM opened the Commission for holding these Assizes, Mr. Justice BEST being so ill with the:gout that he could riot conveniently be• driven to the County Hall ; and oh Tuesday, abotit one o'clock, the Judges, after hearing Divine ger- Vice, went to their respective Courts, Mr. Baron GnAnAra to the Nisi Prius, and Mr. Justice BEST- to the CroWn Court. The latter Judge's Charge to the Jury was very short, as the pri soners were few and their • offences light. At the Nisi Prizes Bar there have been but two causes of any consequence tried as yet; the one a sheep cause of warrautry, in which.thedefen dant who warranted gained a verdict; the other was an action against the Royal Eichinge Assurance Company, who resisted the payment of 1501. due to Mr. White, the Company think ing that at the time when the insurance was made the insured was afflicted .with such a disease as would occasion her life to be shortened. The old adage of " Who shall decide when doctors disagree," was verified in this case, a Surgeon being brought by the plaintiff and a Physician by the defendants ; but the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, thinking, in all probability,' that as he had been in the habit of visiting the patient for three years, and the Physician but half au hour, that lie was the most likely to be right.— The Grand Jury found a bill of indictment this morning against Messrs. C. J. Hector, William Mitchell, and George Durant, for a conspiracy. ELECTION OF AN ALDERMAN FOR THE WARD OF CHEAP. Yesterday a Wardwote of the inhabitants of the Ward of Cheap was held at the Church of St. Lawrence Jewry, Cateaton-street, for the purpose of electing a fit and proper person to serve the office of Alderman, in the room of RICHARD RoTnivrt.r., tisq. deceased. The Ward mote was most numerously and respectably at tend,d. The precept having been read, The Loan MAY or, opened the business of the day in a neat and appropriate speech. Mr. BURT proposed William Thompson, Esq. Citizen and ironmonger. Mr. BOOTH seconded the nomination. A pause took place, during which no one came forward to propose any other Candidate. The LORD MAYOR then took the show of hands, and de clared William ThoMpson, Esq. Citizen and Ironmonger, to be duly and unanimously elected. Mr. TnomPSON returned thanks. Mr. JAMES moved an expression of the regard of the Ward to the memory of their deceased Alderman. Mr. BROOKS seconded the Resolutions, which were carried unanimously. They were ordered to be printed in the Morning and Even ing Papers, and circulated in the Ward, to be fairly transcribed and presented to Thomas Dutton Rothwell, Esq. Mr. JAMES moved the thanks of the Wardmote to the Lord Mayor, for the gentlemanly manner in which he had conducted the business of the day. The Resolution was carried unanimously ; and The LORD MAYOR returned thanks. Mr. LoxLEY begged, on account of the infirmities attendaat upon age and long service, to be allowed to resign his situation as Deputy. The Alderman elect conTerr?d the situation upon Mr. Brooks, the Senior Common Councilman. Thanks I.ire voted to Mr. Loxley for his past services, and the Warlmota separated. A CURE Fon SUICIDE.—On Friday last, some boatmen took out of the Seine, at Paris, a man who had precipitated himself into it from the Pont-au-Change. Having taken him to the Corps de-Garde, they succeeded in recalling h m to life. He had scarcely come to himself, when he very seriously assured the Commissary of Po lice, that it was still his intention to drown Wm self on the fir, - ;t opportunity, and as soon as he should be set at liberty. The Commissary asked him to sign a declaration of his intention to destroy himself, which the fellow readily Con sented to do. While all this was going on, a woman arrived vociferating, "My husband ! Let me see my husband." When she perceived, however, that her better-half was alive and well, she became instantly silent. The boatmen, not withstanding, approached her, and claimed to be rewarded for the good office' they had just ren dered her in saving her husband, but she angrily repulsed them, exclaiming, " why did you not let him drown himself ? why did you inter meddle ?" At these words, the husband, it is said, suddenly found himself cured of his folly, and swore he would make no more attempts to drown himself.—(Gazette de France.) An ELOPEMENT under very curious circum stances, and sheaving a determination on the part of the young lady seldom equalled, took place in this neighbourhood, on Monday morning. The daughter of a gentleman of fortune, residing within a few miles of WorceVer; came a few days since on a visit to a friend of her father's, who lives about three miles from this place. On Sunday last, a gentleman, who afterwards proved to be her lover, called upon her, introducing himself to the friend of the lady as an intimate acquaintance of her father. He spent the day with the family, and, as it was supposed, took his departure for Worcestershire in the evening. So well did the parties arrange their proceedings, that they fixed their plans in the' presence of the whole family, without the slightest suspicion being excited. Early the next morning, it was discovered that the young lady had escaped in the course of the night, and had left a note assuring her friends that should they succeed in overtaking her, nothing should prevent her bestowing her hand upon the object of her choice. Instant pursuit' was made, and at every stage the pursuers had the mortifica tion to find that they . had little chance of over taking them, till the knot of Hymen had been irrevocably tied. Unfortunately for the fu gitives, the celebration of the ceremony was not so well arranged as the elopement, for owing to the absence of the Clergyman of a small town in Shropshire, they were compelled to wait " in dire suspense," and before his return the friends of the lady arrived. Remonstrance was however, in vain, and in the presence of her friends, the lover and his fair fugitive proceeded to the church. The clergyman doubted,. the. happy pair insisted, the friends opposed it by every means , in their power, but as no legal dif ficulty intervened, the ceremony was performed. Report says the lady is very handsome, and the gentleman possessed of an ample fortune. Both parties are exceedingly well known.—(Binning ham and Lichfield Chronicle ) Aug. 2.)
