" The Precurseur.de Lyon has published the following in telligence INIARSEILLT:S, MAY G.—A letter from Palermo, of the 23 d April, announces the evacuation of Sicily by the Austrian ; the last reinforcement which arrived in the island, at 'be period of the discovery of the conspiracy, was the first to quit it for the Continent. " A Russian vessel, the Leonidas, which left Constanti nople the 9th ,April, has arrived at Marseilles in 27 days. We learn by a Frenchman, a passenger on board, that at her de- Parture from Constantinople, large reinforcements of irregular :lentat ion prevailed t roops were arr i v i ng from different parts of Asia.

" VENICE, APRIL 26.—A vessel arrived to day, which quitted Mytilene the 13th of April. The grand Turkish fleet was then at Gallipoli. The fortress of Scio had not, up to that period, surrendered to the Greeks, who were besieging it by land and sea. " TRIESTE, APRIL 30.—We have accounts from Smyrna to the 14th inst., which give a melancholy picture of the dread ful scenes passing there. The Greeks might be said to be besieged in their houses by the Asiatics, who fired into the houses in order to compel them to come out. All those who fell into the hands of the soldiers were assassinated ; in fine, murder, pillage, and burning, were the order of the day, and the Governor gave little interruption to all these excesses. " Several European vessels had left Smyrna by the desire of the. Consuls at Salonica, to proceed to the latter port, in order to protect the property of the Franks, the insurgents under the command of Ulysses, &c. having advanced to within 12 leagues of that city, and spread a general alarm. The Pacha of Sa lonica had bean repulsed at Veria, and was endeavouring to collect a new force to make a second attempt against the Greeks. Chourchid Paella was attacked on all sides at Janina. " VtExxa, MAY 4.—We know nothing certain respecting the affairs of Turkey.. The Court publishes; nothing. At the Exchange many reports of peace and of war are circulated. We expect with the greatest impatience intelligence from St. Fetersburgh, which would put aside all uncertainty. " Mr. Gordon, the English Charge d'Affaires, has had within a few days past several conferences with the Prince de Metter nich, and has sent off a courier to London. " We have no accounts from Constantinople, subsequent to the 13th April. At that period the Turkish army was still re ceiving new reinforcements from Asia, but these troops remained in the environs of Constantinople. " The Turkish fleet, commanded by the Capitan Ali Bey, was to have proceeded to the Black Sea, but his des tination was suddenly changed, in consequence of the insurrec tion at Scio. The Grand Scignor sent positive orders to Ali Bey, to put down the rebels at Scio, and to annihilate the Greek navy ; but the Turkish vessels are not completely equipped, and are very badly armed. Compelled to sail, Ali Bey proceeded to Gallipoli to complete his equipment. There are some thousand troops on board, for the purpose of effecting a debarkation. " HAMBURGII, MAY. 6.—We have received from the banks of the Pruth accounts, dated the 21st April, containing the important intelligence that the second Russian army had received, for the second time, orders to hold themselves in readiness to march; the third order will fix its destination. The Emperor was expected in Bessarabia. " LAUSANNE, MAX 10.—The Governments of the Cantons of Western Switzerland have received _new summonses not to suffer the residence in their territories of any foreigner pro scribed, or a fugitive on account of political offences. The Mi nistry of a Great Power has declared to the Swiss, that if they are not more correct in future in satisfying the demands ad dressed to them in this respect, it will be obliged to adopt such measures as circumstances may render expedient. The Direct ing Canton could do no less than transmit to the Cantons inte rested in it the communications thus made, accompanied by considerations derived from' the present situation of Switzer land. This explains, without altogether excusing it, the atten tion which our authorities have shewn to acts which at another time would have been considered as attacks upon our indepen dence. " We have been much occupied here for some time with the ' projected Tariff of Customs, which is to be proposed at the next Diet. If it is adopted, it will be ruinous to the Cantons which carry on commerce with France, but it will give great advan tages to the German manufacturers, and to the Cantons which trade direct with them. From the manner in which our affairs are now managed, there is but too much reason to fear that this Germanic combination will prevail over the general interest of the Swiss communes."._ LEGHORN, APRIL 20.—(Extract from a Greek letter; ii]tolia and Acarnania have now also received a fixed form of I Government. The country is included under the name of the Western Continent of Greece (, 6tprix7; e Qco g 11":104:c) and the different Cantons accede as they are liberated from the enemy. In the regulations of separate towns, nothing requires to be changed, as they have been preserved unaltered from the oldest times. The other parts of Greece, with the exception of the Peloponnesus, are included under the eastern continent of Greece (, avanXmr, zEpo'c".s' (E 20 ,0 4), and a supreme body was formed for their administration, under the name of the Areopagus, under the presidency of Theodorns Nigri, of which the seat is at Salona, so far back as last Autumn.— Thither came also the deputies from Mount Pelion, as did the undaunted Suliots to the Continental Assembly. This assem bly, like that of the Peloponnesus, calls itself Gerusia (Senate), and had Maurocordatos for President. The Islands had brought their affairs sooner in orderi but we want accurate in formation respecting their political institutions. After setting on foot Provincial Administrations, the deputies of all Greece, so fat as it is liberated, set about uniting themselves into a National Assenably.—( Allgemeine Zeitung, May 7.) [From the Journal des Debals.] " BUCHAREST, APRIL 14.--(Extract from the Letter of a German Merchant cstaWshed in that town.)—For some days past it is considered that the continuance of peace between Turkey and Russia is certain. Private letters, received by the Commanders of the Ottoman troops here from Constantinople, are unanimous on this point. Again, a courier from Galatz, on the Danube, announces that the embargo placed on the merchant vessels in that port had been taken off; and that the, vessels had sailed for Odessa and Constantinople in prosecution of their voyages. " Eight of our Boyards of the first class received orders on the 7th April to repair to f..;ilistria. Five Boyards of Moldavia, among whom there is not a'single Greek, were also ordered hither ; and, on, arriving at Silistria, the whole were directed to proceed to Constantinople. Opinions are divided as to the 1 1 design of this order ;—some believe that two Hospodars will be chosen from among them,--others suspect that the Porte wishes to ascertain the cause of Theodore Wliclimiresko's revolt, and the grievances of the oppressed people of Walachia ;--and third party also think that the Porte intends to nominate Hos podars, but will limit their despotic power by a species of coun cil formed of Boyards. The twelve Boyards are to set out this day for Constantinople. " It is confidently asserted at the same time, that all the Ottoman troops in the two principalities will retire on the other side of the Danube before the end of this month. These troops still continue to plunder and murder in our neighbour hood. "An express sent by the English Legation at Constanti. nople, which left that city on the 29th of March, arritred on the 4th inst. at the English Consul's residence in this town. Iris despatches are quite silent respecting the popular mavernents and warlike notes of which we had heard i'bitt, on the con trary, they increase our hopes of the preservation of peace."— (Augsburgit Gazette.) --~-~ German Journals have arrived, but their con tents are of little importance.—The Leipsic fair has been better than was expected ; and not withstanding the new Russian tariff had an inju rious effect on the fair, in driving several Poles and Russians home without making any purchases, yet there was a great demand for coarse cloths, leather, linen, fine English printed calicos, cam bric, muslins, New York Papers arrived this morning to the 7th April : [ From the Commercial Advertiser of the 14th ST. DOMING-O.—A landing was made at Samana about the middle of February from some armed vessels fitted out at Martinique, it is said, for reducing the Blacks : the latter re sisted the attempt, when the French were compelled to re embark. After all had got safely on board, they bombarded Samana, which was completely destroyed. Some lives were lost on both sides. The invaders are said to have plundered two plantations, and to have destroyed a village. CIL I NA.—By an arrival at Provence we learn that the Chinese Mandarins, on the 10th Dec. seized a large quantity of silk be longing to an American Gentleman, and had stopped the silk trade. Neither the place where this said to have occurred, nor the cause of the proceeding, are mentioned. Mi - :xico.—Accounts have been received at Ilavanna from Mexico to the 28th February. The Congress were installed on 28th February —lturbide has determined on being au Em peror in reality : the Congress are stated to have finally con-' curred in the fundamental principles of this arrangement, which, it is thought, will be of short duration. Private letters give a most wretched picture of the condition of the inhabi tants,—the army is said to be composed of a small number of naked men, who are perishing. This is, we are inclined to think, an exaggeration. Tl►e Irish Papers received this morning CQII , . tahl some accounts of outrages; but neither very numerous nor atrocious. These Papers, as well as those received yesterday, abound with grate ful and joyous panegyrics on the benevolence of the English nation, which has so munificently stepped forward to the relief of the starving peasantry of the sister island. NAVIGATION BILL.—We have been favoured with a most powerful and elaborate review of this impolitic measure, which we shall insert in our Paper of Monday next. It is deserving of the most serious attention of his Majesty's Go vernment, and of the Agricultural, Mercantile, and Shipping Interests ;—indeed, its effect on all the great interests of the Nation will be so in jurious that we hope the measure will be abandoned altogether. ACcounts have been received from Odessa to he 20th ult. with information from Constanti- nople to the 14th. The former speak of war as being extremely probable, but mention that there was so great a scarcity of food among the Rus sian forces on the frontiers of Turkey, that it was supposed they would be obliged to change their quarters, as there was not more than ten days' provisions remaining. The Capitan Paella had quitted the Turkish capital, in order to take the command of the squadron proceeding against the Greeks, and which had been for some time under preparation. By a vessel which has had a very quick pas sage from St. Petersburgh, letters have been re ceived of the 4th instant. On this authority it is stated that the Emperor ALEXANDER had se out to join the armies, but the exchange on Lon. don did not experience any decline in conse. quence. Of the negotiations with Turkey little is mentioned, and that, too, in so guarded a way, that it is impossible to arrive at any conclusion on the subject. The political relations between Russia and Turkey, it is asserted, had undergone no change since the last advices were written. THE FAIR AT LEIPSIC.—An article in a Ger man paper, dated Leipsic, May 5, says, "Our fair has hitherto not been so bad as we feared it would be, and there has been a great demand for coarse cloths, leather, linen, fine English printed calicoes, cambric muslins, &e. We hope that this will have a favourable effect on the sale of coarse wool. According to accounts from England, it is said that the prices of fine wool have fallen there ; but this is considered to be rather a false report to frighten away the holders than a real fact ; for, in many large estates in Saxony, the wool is already sold for two or three years to come. The •Jews that were expect ed have not come. The new Russian Tariff has an unfavour able effect on our Fair ; several Poles and Russians have in con: sequence gone home again. The prohibitory system, which is so injurious to commerce, gains ground more and more. The number of booksellers at the fair is estimated at about 1501. many of whom complain of the want of business in the course of last year. Indigo has risen in price, on account of the failure of the crop in the East Indies. Great complaints are made of the want of business; but, if we consider the expensive mode of living of many artisans, and the extravagance of servants, we must be sensible that these complaints are not generally well founded." Yesterday the Duchess of GLOUCESTER rode out in her carriage and visited the KING.

HIS MAJESTY, HIS MAJESTY was attended by the same suite as on his. recent visit to Drury-Lane Theatre, and was accompanied in the Royal Box by the Duke of YORK, Lord CATHCART, and the usual Lords in Waiting. The LORD CHAMBERLAIN was not present, as he is not quite recovered from his indisposition. A detachment of the Life-Guards escorted his MAJESTY to the Theatre, and the streets through which the Royal Cortege passed were lined with spectators, who greeted the pro cession with loyal acclamations. The Royal Box was superbly decorated for the occasion.— His MAJESTY, with his usual punctuality, en tered the box at seve❑ o'clock exactly, and nothing could exceed the fervid zeal with which he was received by the audience, standing ; continued shouts and waving of hats by the rnen, and waving of handherchiefs by the ladies.— MAJESTY saluted the audience with g - racious condescension, and the Duke of YORK, who im mediately followed his MAJESTY, and took his station on the left side, displayed the same re spectful attention, and was received with due warmth of popular regard. The moment the itnyal visitors appeared the curtain wa3 drawn, up, and by all the performers " God save the King" was immediately given, and zealously applauded, at every stanza. It was loudly encored, and most of the audience, and gen tlemen, and even ladies, who had been ad mitted behind the scenes, joined in the chorus. The new play of The LA' -a of Java immediately followed, and obviously excited in the Royal visitors as well as in the audience every feeling which the author intended. The admirable al ternation of pathetic and humorous scenes had their due effect, and never was an audience more fully gratified. It may naturally be supposed that His MAJESTY, who has long been the patron of - Mr. CormAN, commanded the play in some degree in compliment to the author, but the Royal taste, as well as kindness, was fully grati fied by a compositiond such singular and striking merit. Mr. CO LMAN,WIIO attended in State d ressos attached to the yeomen of the Guards, had the pleasure of witnessing this triumph of his genius. At the end of the play " God save the Icing" was given again, and followed by " Rule Bri tannia."—The afterpiece of Cherry and Fair Star was the concluding piece, and was received with great applause ; at the end ; the Per formers and a party of Ladies and Gentlemen behind them again sung " God save the King," at the end of which the Royal Party retired, amidst the warmest testimonies of affection- ate loyalty. As his MAJESTY passed through the antichamber to Lis box, he saw Mrs. SID.. nom, whom he immediately approached, took her most kindly by the hand, congratulated her on her appearance in good health, and said he saw her with great pleasure, as she reminded him of the delight which her talents had so often afforded him. Mrs. SIDDONS was so forcibly impressed with this condescending attention that her feel ings almost overpowered her, and she with diffi culty expressed the emotions which it produced, and which, no doubt, were as strong as any that her great and unrivalled talents had excited in the sym pathy of the admiring world. Mr. COLMAN, w ho at times visited the green room, with his usual prompt humour, observed that he that night ap peared in two characters, viz. as " Bard and Beefeater." Some judicious arrangements were made by the Managers, precluding all persons from coming behind the scenes, except those who belonged to the Theatre, or who had re ceived tickets of admission. There was conse quently not the indiscriminate crowd who had at tended on former occasions,but the visitors were all select and respectable. We hardly need add that his MAJESTY returned to his Palace in the same State, and he bad the gratification to receive, as he passed, the congratulations of numerous.spec tators who had waited in the street to witness the returning procession. By some mistake, those persons who were on the free list were refused admission at the doors, contrary, we are assured, to the order of the new Managers. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

The Honourable Lady Smith's rout yesterday evening, in Piccadilly, was very numerously and fashionably attended. The Duke of Devonshire gave his first grand rout for the season, on Thursday evening, at Devonshire House. The whole suite of apartments were thrown open, which were Mu minatedSvith great brilliancy. The company present exceed ed 300 persons of the first distinction and fashion. Mrs. Beaumont gave an elegant ball and supper yesterday evening at her house in Portman-square, which was attended by upwards of 200 distinguished fashionable.. His Royal Highness the Prince of DBinutßx not having as yet a town carriage or horses of his own, availed himself yes terday of that of Count Molkte, and accompanied by his Ex cellency visited St. Paul's Cathedral, and other public edi fices, and at four o'clock his Royal Highness returned to his residence in Nirimpole-street to dinner. Hi, Majesty has been pleased to offer carriages and servants to attend their Royal Highnesses during their stay in London, but Isis Royal High ness, with the most gracious politeness, declined his Majesty's offer, wishing to live as private as possible during his stay in the Metropolis. The death of the Archbishop of CAstiEL was caused by taking's goat's milk, which coagu lated i❑ his stomach, and caused mortification. —(Dublin Patriot.) A very extraordinary circumstance, at this season of the year, has occurred on the coast of Sussex :—a vast quantity of sprats of excel lent quality have been taken by the fishing boat. COURT OF KING'S BENCII.—(Tuts DAlr. JUDGMENT UPON THE EARL OF WESTMEATH, On Mr. Justice BAYLEY taking his seat on the• Bench, the above Noble Defendant appeared on , the floor of the Court to receive its_judgment, Our Readers will recollect that this Noble De fendant had suffered judgment, by default, on a criminal information filed against his Lordship. for sending a message and challenge to fight a duel with —.---- Woods, Esq., a trustee to Lady Westmeath, who is the daughter of the. Mar-. chioness of Salisbury. . The defendant proceeded to read some pas sages from a paper in justification of his conduct on the occasion, and concluded by thanking the. Court for the kind indulgence they had allowetl him. Mr. Justice BAYLEY, in delivering t,he judga ment of the Court, commented, at very great length, on the conduct of the Noble defendant,, in endeavouring to provoke Mr. Woods to fight a duel, who, the Learned Judge said,, was only acting as mediator, and was appointed by the defendant. It became his painful duty to pro nounce the sentence of the Court, which was,, that he should be imprisoned in the custody of the Marshal of the N . Jarshalsea of this Court, for. 3 months, and at the expiration of that period, to give security for. three years„himself and two sureties in 5001.

The Prosecutor stated, - he went to the privy in the morning, where he left his watch, which he missed about half an hour afterwards. The prisoner and her husband lodge ip the house, and it appeared that the prisoner was the only person seen in that direction during the half hour. The watch could not be found, and about two hours after Garton, the Officer, was sent for, and search was made without effect. The prisoner' said she should leave her case to the .41mighty, and on him she would rest her salvation. She was committed to Newgatc for trial. n•O• q t q. • 0 a or'
