The Sun. — London, England, 1821-12-31 00:00:00

FOR THE SUN: THE GREEKS. MR. EDITOR-1 came a short time since from Stanemore, in Westmoreland, and having been recommended to this Coffee-house as an agreeable place to dine at, at a mo derate expence—l followed the advice of my country neigh bours, and I find them, from my experience, justified in their recommendation of it —Little acquainted With the Town, my evenings have been principally occupied in the perusal of the London Newspapers, and especially of all those articles which in any way related to the generous ,and noble efforts of the Greeks to rescue themselves from the bondage and tyranny of their Turkish Masters. I have, however, felt, great mortifica tion in observing two Papers,—one a Morning and another an Evening Paper, which arc considered, as it were, to be con nected with; the Government, availing themselves of every op portunity to deprest..and degrade the conduct and character of the Greeks, and endLvouring to excite an adversefeeling to the Grecian Cause, without...openly and baldly avowing the grounds on which THEY think 'ffie Greeks are not entitled to the support and commiseration of • the British Government and Nation:—There has been shewn throng - bent the whole of the autumn, in the observations of these two Pifrirs, - Fach a little ness of spirit on this interesting subject—demi-oflidiel as it is—which does not accord with the high tone and - fe'eling, which is in other respects assumed by the advocates of The 110 l Alliance ; but be,that as it may, it is quite inconsistent with the former magnanimous character of Great Britain, and in 'the end will bring shame and disgrace upon the country, un less the Government, on the opening of Parliament, candidly avows the principles by which it t is influenced with respect to Turkey in the present state of affairs in Europe, and can shew that it is the interest of this Country at this time to attempt to perpetuate a system as injurious to z)itr trade as it is contrary to the better feelings and affections of our nature. • It is many years since I read the works of Mr. ETi - iN and other writers on the political relations of England, Russia, and Turkey ; but I believe it is now universally admitted that it is for the benefit of European Commerce in general that the Turkish Government should have no power 'or controul in Eu rope, and that the passage to the Black Sea should be free; and therefore it is considered, by well-informed practical men, to be the duty of this Government, if they do not choose to sup port the Greeks in their glorious' struggle for national indepen dence, to TO BE NEUTER, and not to give any assistance what- • ever to the Turks. • On the King's Government in the lonian Isles I will not now venture to offer a comment ; but if HALF what 'I heard in the coach between Cambridge and London be true, I am not surprised at the indignant spirit which has been shewn by His Majcsty's New Subjects in those Islands. It is really abominable that, in any newly acquired Dependencies or Settle ments—principles and rules of Government should be adopted which are UNKNOWN in the immediate Kingdom of the Ruling Powert s j The obloquy which is attempted to be thrown on the condu,Xof rive orave and unfortunate people is evidently with a view to palliate and justify the harsh proceedings which have been adopted against them, and which from the information I have received from learned and respectable indiViduals whO have re ently returned from Greece, I believe to be altogether unne cessary and uncalled for : but to remove any doubt of the truth of this assertion, it is the intention of a distinguished Literary Character to publish soon, a narrative of the sufferings of this insulted and injured people, which, from his own personal ob servations and experience, cannot fail to make a strong impres sion on the public mind. His talents and rank Tender him indifferent to time frowns of power, and he will doubtlessly ex. hibit in its true colours every interesting particular which has occurred in the administration of the affairs of the lonian Islands, since they were INTRU-STED to the special protection of Great Britain. Many interesting anecdotes, and strange and curious circumstances, will be shewn to have occurred in the intercourse between the lonian Government and Am DACHA and the Turks. Some facts will be elicited, Which will shake the nerves and shock - the feelings of the modern Whigs, but which will convince the world—if it were wanting—that the most clamorous partisans for general rights are too often, when invested with power, the most illiberal, intolerant, and despotic. BUNCLE REDIVIVUS. Dick's Coffee-house, Dec. 29, 1821. As it is our main intention to support the Re ligion of the Country, we cannot but be highly gratified in being the medium of the admir-. able Letter on Atheism, which appears in THE SUN of this day. Having the honour to possess the patronage of the Clergy, and of many Members of our Universities, we con celve that our Paper will this day receive the particular approbation of those learned bodies, as it not only puts the general arguments in support of a Supreme Being with unusual force, but offers many others which • are by no means • familiar, and are, indeed, striking and irrefragable. DovEn, Dtc. 30.—The long succession of gales from the Southward and South-West caused an accumulation of beach at the mouth of Dover Harbour, which it has not experienced fcir more than thirty year past. This occasions some interrup tion of the daily intercourse between Dover and the Continent. The cessation of the gales, and the wind having come round to the Northward, the mouth of the harbour has been cleared by the force of the back-water ; and this afternoon sailed for Calais' with the mail and passengers, his Majesty's packet Chichester' a French packet, and the Rob Roy steam vessel.—One of our boys, with a valuable lading of groceries, which, during the late severe gales, ran for shelter into Ramsgate, received so much damage whilst in that harbour, by the heavy swell of sea to which the internal parts of it are so much exposed, and her consequent heavy striking against the ground, that a great part of her cargo is materially damaged. One of our grocers has sustained a loss by this circumstance of several hundred pounds, and many other tradesmen will be great sufferers.—Although four boys for many years past have been constantly engaged in trading be tween Dover and London, not a single instance of damage of this kind was ever known to have happened in Dover Harbour. It is stated, upon pretty good authority, that the Caledonia, from Lima, POW at Cove, has brought 300,000 dollarS, exclu sive of several bars of silver, for account of Lord Cochrane ; this is the second precious importation for the same distin guished character, a vessel having lately landed at Plymouth a quantity of silver estimated at 100,0001. sterling.—(Cork 111er- Chronicle.) Friday se'nnight, the Bishop of Limerick held an Ordination at the Cathedra, when the Rev. James Maguire was admitted into Priests' O;ders, and Alcssrs. Henry Harte,, F. T. C. D. Joseph A ldridge, irminghain. Horatio Maunsell, and Thos. Fitzgerald, into Deacons' Orders. The country people near Listowel, have given up fifteen stand of arms to Dr. Church,. and have invited him to their Parish Chapel of Knozl;nagoshil, to administer to them the oaths of allegiance, THE THEATRE. Datray-LANE.—The new piece of Giovanni in Ireland was on Saturday last assailed with increased Violence at this Theatre, and Was at length withdrawn. The opposition to it, on this occasion, was nearly as outrageous as any other scene of theatrical commotion that we have ever witnessed. It commenced early, and, as might be expected, augmented beyond all power of resistance when the half-price visitors made their appearance. The call of " Alanager— Manager .f" was so loud and persevering, that the Performers in succession retreated, as the opposition continued during the commence ment of the first Afterpiece, which was The Prisoner at Large. MuNntv, the chiet Perfprmer in this piece, though deservedly popular, was obliged to retire, and at length Er.usToN was forced to appear, before, he had divested himself of his Royal Robes. When he was able to obtain a hearing, he spoke with evi dent agitation, but with the most respectful earn estness. lie signified that what he said should be uttered with the strictest regard to truth. He then informed the audience, that the piece which had incurred their disapprobation had long been preparing, and that one motive for bringing it forwa.rd,veas to give farther scope to the talents of au actress (Madame VESTRIS) who had been well received in a popular character (Gio vanni), and that from private cymmunications, he had reason to ' believe the opposition • to the piece in question was the result of a medi tated plan of hostility, and he offered to submit those communications to any gentleman from any part of the house, who would come behind the scenes to inspect them : that he had reason to hope, as Giovanni in London had been so very , successful, Giovanni in Ireland might expect to : be received with proportionable favour, and finally he signified that the latter piece should be withdrawn.—Phis speech encountered much op position in its progress, but the concluding decla ration allayed the storm, and the two after pieces, viz. The Prisoner at Large, and Ella Rosenberg, proceeded without intezzoption, except by the applause which the merit of the acting naturally excited. With respect to Giovanni in Ireland, we cannot help think ing that the Manager has been treated with unjust and illiberal severity.—ln compli ance with the obvious taste of the public for magnificent spectacles, processions, Sc. &c., he brought forward the most splendid work in representing the late CORONATION that had ever appeared on theatrical boards. The success of this piece was unprecedented, and with a laud able zeal to gratify the public still more, he appears to have lavished most of the profits of that piece in preparing another exhibition of the same kind, in order to represent the late IN STALLATION in the Sister Island. For this pur pose he employed the same dramatic writer who had been so successful in Giovanni in London, and since, in the popular farce of Monsieur Ton son, to introduce Giovanni in Ireland. What is there in this conduct that could reasonably give offence I—The splendour of the Installation was hardly less than that of The Coronation, and the expence was probably as great. The Manager, therefore, in our opinion, rather deserves the approbation than the displeasure of the Public. His conduct has evidently been disinterested and liberal; for, as we before observed, lie ven tured upon the last grand spectacle all the pecu niary advantage which he had derived from the former. It Was to be expected that the national spirit of Irishmen would induce them to support a piece that was intended to do honour to their country, and •that was to present to their patriotic feelings some of its most superb and interesting scenery; and the natives of that country, as far as we can learn, actually gave to it a resolute sup port. A Morning Paper of this day has censured the " rashness of offering to expose letters with the writers' names to the • eye of the Pit, Box, and Gallery," but this is not the fact—the com munications were to be submitted to any indi vidual, from any one, or all of those places, in order to prove that such communications had really been received. The Manager was " driven to the stake" by the opposition which had as sailed him, and it was necessary that he should en deavour to vindicate his conduct. It may indeed be said that Giovanni in Ireland was destitute of dramatic strength and interest; but it may be justly observed, that, as it was intended merely as introductory to a grand Exhibition, critical nicety was not required in considering its inhe rent qualities as a drama.—We have no partiality to either of the Patent Theatres, but we feel it to be a duty of justice, as well as candour, to sup port them upon all proper occasions, and we conceive that the Manager or Lessee of Drury lane Theatre has, in the present instance, been the. victim of illiberal and unjust persecution. THE REV. Mn. MArrntits.---We feel deep re gret in stating the death of this Gentleman, which took place last week, at his residence in Mary-le bone. He was of the Roman Catholic persuasion, but meek, benevolent, and most liberally tole rant to all whose religion differed from his own. He had been elected Canon of St. Penis, and had been frequently solicited to accept a French Bishopric, which he declined from motives of hu mility and love of retirement, added to his great attachment , to this country. A month previous to his lamented death, we are assured that he re ceived a letter informing him that his name was drawn for the first vacant See in France. He was respected and beloved by all the Bourbon Family, and by a very extensive circle of friends of the highest rank in this country. 'To the Poor he was a faithful Pastor, a protecting father, a liberal benefactor. In the circle of his own family he solemnly and affection ately fulfilled ,those sacred duties enjoined by God \ himself, administering to their necessities while living, and bequeathing to them at his death the bulk of his property. Thus, his death-bed, as might be expected from his conduct and cha racter, exhibited a scene of genuine piety and peace, edifying to all i around him. It will be remember ed that this Gentleman was attacked with a sword by an insane person in the Spanish Chapel while officiating at the Altar, a few years ago.— His manners were meek, elegant, and unaffected. . „ Lady Douglas is expected in town this day frOm Brighton.

All strangers are delighted with the ancient magnificence dis played through the interior of this fine edifice. The florid Gothic in the Great Hall of entrance is surpris ingly grand and beautiful; its elevation is seventy feet, and leads to the great Saloon, which is thirty feet. Then comes the Library, on the left ; the Drawing Room on the right.—On the other side of the building is the Banqueting Room, the ceiling of which is of carved oak, as well as the walls : its proportions are fifty feet by twenty-eight; height thirty-five feet. The Billiard Room, not being finished, the tables were placed in the Drawing-room. The Festivities of Eastnor are approaching with more and more of every thing elegant and superb. The arrangements, although impeded by the late floods, will be on the most enlarg ed scale. Sandleford Priory is rendered gay by the bounties of the Montague family.

A curious circumstance occurred at Wells a few days since. As J. P. Tudway, Esq. was hunting in that vicinity, his hounds put up a hare ; after running her some time, she stole ,away, and sought an asylum in the cellar of the CrOwn Inn, in the centre of the town, where she was taken alive.

FURTHER PARTIC UL Ans.—The .Tuliana (country ship), Capt. Ogilvie, left Bengal the latter end of July, and had a fair run to the Downs, at which place she put her mail-bags ashore on the 21st ; and a short time after, Mrs. Ogilvie, the wife of the Captain, was landed. The ship brought up on Sunday in the Margate-roads, but the weather being tempestuous, she drove, and lost one, if not two anchors. A fishing-boat spoke them, and promised to send off an anchor and cable, which was duly performed ; lnit, owing to the state of the tide, this valuable assistance could not depart before the evening, and their utmost exertions could not enable them to find , the Juliana. On the evening of the 24th inst. she lost her =MO., and the distressing situation of the crew during the night passps descrip tion ; all hands were employed at the pump, but tha water yet increased upon them, and every moment they expected the ship to go to pieces. Captain Ogne, unwilling tO quit her till the last remnant of hope was exhausted, prevailed upon his men to continue their exertions, and it was not till the after noon of Christmas day that they resolved to abandon her, and endeavour to save their lives. They then hoisted out the long-boat, into which all who could were taken, and the rest got upon a raft. After the unfortunate beings, thirty-seven in num ber, had thus left the ship, the Cap:An imagined that he yet saw some hope of saving part of her cargo, by waiting till the morning ; and as there was no immediate danger of the ship going down, actuated by an ardent desire to promote the in terests of lus employers, and reluctant to abandon his post, unfortunately persuaded the crew again to return 'to a scene, from' which sa few were ever to escape. They did so, and lashed the boat and raft to the ship. During this night their sufferings were beyond description ; the sea ran Mountains high, the water continued to gain upon them, and they were obliged to remain upon the deck, exposed to all the horrible inclemency of the weather. When every hope of saving any particle of the effects was lost, and every moment added to their danger, the Captain gave orders to sefk safety in the boat, and notwith standing the intense darkness of the night, all were in stantly in motion. Before, however,. the unavoidable pre parations were completed, •a most violent sea broke upon them, and shivered the boat into pieces. Nothing could now exceed the consternation and despair of,the unfortunate victims, but it was of short continuance, for, soon after the vessel itself was struck, and immediately sank. In the dreadful scene that en sued, six of the men only were able to find the raft, and they by that means avoided the ,immediate fate of their wretched companions. Such, however, had been the privations they had endured, and such the dreadful inclemency of the night, that four out of the remaining; six, perished before the morning, and the other two when quite exhausted were picked up by a fish ing boat, and they only have escaped to tell the dreadful tale. —These men reached London on Saturday evening, and from them we have collected these painful particulars. The only passengers who were on board, indeed the only one during the voyage, was Miss Heriot, daughter to Lieut. Heriot, of the Bengal establishvent, and her female attendant. This inte resting child was coming to England for her education, and the Captain was to have delivered her to the care of her grand father, who resides at Chelsea. The 'distress occasioned by this dreadful event to all the relatives,of the unfortunate sufforers . may be partially congeived, but totally passes description. Mr. Edward Hay, Secretary to the Roman Catholics, has received a most friendly letter from the Marquis Wellesley,— (Dublin Evening Post.) The Corporation of waterford, on Thursday se'nnight, ap pointed Henry ;11‘Doughall, ESq. Barrister at Law, to be. Re r carder of that city. THE ARMY. PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 28.—The Provisional Bat talion stationed in Our garrison has been aug mented this week. by 200 men from the Army Depot, Isle of Wight. It is now . SOO strong, and is formed of the Depots of : the following eleven Regiments, viz. :17th, 24th, 34th, 46th, 53d, 58th, 59th, 61st, , 65th, 72d, and 87th, under the command of Lieut..-ColOnel Calvert; of the 72d, whose Regiment is on its passage home from the Cape. The PrOvisional Battalion now con sists of 10 companies, of 80 each. It is entirely composed of active young soldiers, and is in the highest state of efficiency: For some time after its arrival, owing to the many recruits, the garri son duty was very unequally divided; and fell heavy on the Royal Marines ; but from the active egertions of . Lieut.-Colonel Calvert, and the ra pidity ivith which 116 has brought forward 'his men, the.duties of the garrison at present are fairly shared. The 7th Light Dragoons have taken possession of Piers-hill Barracks, Edinburgh, wherein .they will Wait for orde.rs from the new Lord Lieti tenant df Ireland: • Captain WEATHERttii of the Royal Artillery, and his detachment, hate departed for the Cape of Good Hope. . Colonel ItoSs,C.B. Coniniandant of the Army Depot, at the Isle of Wight, is appointed Presi dent of the General Court Martial about to he held in Portsmouth garrison. Major M•Caskill, 53d regiment, is to be the Acting Judge Advo cate. Friday last, being the second anniversary of the Airdrie Yeomanry Cavalry being embo died, they had a field day, in the morning, on their parade ground, in the vicinity of Airdri•e, and in the evening they assembled in the Mason Hall, where they had their an nual ball, which was very numerously and re spectably attended. Conviviality and good hu mour universally prevailed, and dancing was kept up with great spirit till an early hour next mornin g .---(Glasgoto Courier, Dec. 27.) The detachments embarked for the 'West In, dies and Gibraltar continue still wind-bound at Cowes. Could it be done with convenience, it would certainly be an improved arrangement if the reinforcements for regiments abroad were dispatched at an earlier season of the year. In the West Indies it is especially an object of sa lutary importance to arrive in the beginning of our winter months. ROYAL NAVY, esc. On Tuesday arrived at Portsmouth the Beßette, l 9 Captain George Pechell, in twenty days from the Bermudas, having been three years and a half on the North American station ; the Argus, Ceptam Arabin, relieved her on the 10th of Novem ber; after a passage of 35 days from Torbay. She experienced very severe weather, being . a continued gale of wind from the Western Islands, and from its violence could not make any land before the Isle of Wight. The Bellette has been stationed chiefly on the coasts of Nova Scotia and NeW Brunswick, for the protection of the revenue and fisheries against the encroach ments of the Americans ; and upwards of 11 vessels have been condemned to Captain Pechell, for violating .the existing laws and treaties, as well as a number of boats. The Islands of Bermuda had this year escaped the fever, not a single case hay... ing occurred, which is Lttributed to the strictness of the qua rantine laws. His Excelleney . air W. Lumley had dissolved his parliament, and probably would never have occasion to call another to obtain supplies, as there are funds .in the hands of . the Governor and Council fully equal to meet the expenditure of the Government. The Niemen, Captain Sibley, was the only vessel of war at Bermuda when the - Bellette sailed. On Tuesday arrived at Portsmouth, the Newcastle, 60, Vice- Admiral Griffith Colpoys, from the North American station; in I which command he was succeeded by Rear-Admiral Fahie, from the Leeward Islands, who arrived at Halifax in the Forte frigate, Sir Thomas Cochrane, on the 10th instant, from Bar badoes and Bermuda. All the West India Islands are now included within one naval command—that Of Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Rowley, who is stationed at Jamaica. The Newcastle had a short run of only thirteen days from Halifax, it blowing a gale of wind all the passage through. The Forte, Jasseut, and Argus, were to proceed to Bermuda ; Niemen to winter at Halifax. The Athol had sailed for Jamaica to convey specie for thetGovernment at Quebec. Admiral Colpoys struck his flag on Friday night, and the Newcastle is ordered into the harbour to be paid off by ()apt. Fanshawe. On 'Thursday the Coromandel storeship came into Ports mouth Harbour, to unload the cargo of New Zealand spars, and pay off.—Ships in the Harbour—Queen Charlotte, Rami hes, Albion (guard-ships) ; Salisbury, for North America ; Liffey, for the East Indies ; Euryalus, for the Mediterranean ; Andromache, for the Cape; Active for the home service ; Fly, for the Cork station ; Driver, for the Coast of Africa ; Sham rock, for surveying the coast of England and Ireland ; Grass hopper, for Newfoundland; Ontario and Dromedary, paying off. At Spithead—Newcastle, Tees, Brazen, Bellette, Came leon. The Cameleon is ordered into the harbour to be paid off, having completed her three years of Channel service. - The Naiad frigate has been taken out of Portsmouth dock, and the Apollo royal yacht taken in, to uralergo alterations and be fitted for his Majesty's use ; her decks are to be heightened: The American schooner Selina and Jane, D. Drew, mas:. ter, arrived at Cowes . on Wednesday, with the Captain of the Palemon, Cumming, from London, bound to St..Thomas's, which was abandoned off the Lizard on the 20th instant, after having had most of her crew washed overboard, and the remain der had suffered incredible hardships. The Palemon was one of the ‘t est Indiamen which sailed froth Spithead on the 6th instant. The following is.an extract from a letter from Newfoundland, dated November 25, 1821 ; • ." The Egeria is to winter at Harbour Grace ; the Drake at St. John's ; the Clinker is expected to go home ; the Valoious is gone home by way of Cadiz.
