We received this morning the French Papers of Saturday, from which we give extracts in a P r eceding column. The reports respecting the qtlestion betweeen Turkey and Russia are still co ntradictory; but if the article from Nurem berg which states that the Porte has resolved on fo r nlitig the two Principalities of Moldavia and '‘ - alachia into aPachalik, be confirmed, a is alone 811flicient to provoke a war with Russia ; for, a ccording to existing treaties, this power has the r ight of opposing any innovation in the Govern- Ment of the two principalities._ - Tile accounts from Trieste and Frankfort give I , a vottrable reports of the affairs of Greece, and prove that the Greeks are taking advantage of the present distracted state' of Turkey to arm and ( liwipline troops, and to introduce amity and Rigour into their Councils. A private letter from Madrid, of the 7th, states that the KING has at length consented to dismiss his Ministry. We confidently hope this may lead to the tranquillity of Spain : one good must result, that the factious at Seville and Cadiz will slow, be deprived of their pretexts for persevering in their rebellious course.

INGTON: [EXTRACT FROM THE INDIA GAZETTE.] • 'CALCUTTA, AUG. 27, 11121.—At a late hour yesterday evening, and when our paper was nearly prepared' for press, We were kindly favoured with the following melancholy details of the loss of the Lady Lushington, and from which we have learned, with extreme concern, that several persons have been lost. The account of the calamity is from one of the surviving mutterers, and we submit ,it nearly in his own language : " 'We sailed from Madras on the lith, and having four passers- , gers to lam! attoringa : saw the light-house at midnight on the 7th ; tacked about, in hopes of being able to land the four Passengers (above-mentioned) in the morning, but owing to the strong currents, we were considerably to leeward of the Port by day-light; we 'endeavoured two days and a night to regain the windward, but finding we only lost ground, cast anchor about fifteen miles to the northward of to riuga. The surf ran very high for two days, so we could have no communication with shore ; we tried to weigh anchor, and drop down to Penticollah, but all endeavours were I neffectual, when the cable parted and night had come on. ..I he Captain gave orders to stand out to sea until 12 o'clock at night, and then tack in to the land: the chief mate took the 4 rnmand of the deck at midnight, and thinking we had sailed 110 , far from the land that we could not possibly reach it, before (I _,kr-break, theehip tacked—a breeze having sprung up we were 4 Lartned by the ship'striking slightly on the sand about 4 o'clock .1 1 1 the morn i ng . Nothi ng can p a i n t th e distressin g scene; the high land was just perceptible, and every wave driving over the ship added to our . horrible situation. In' half an hour every mast was over the ship's side (to leeward); the ship had drifted into a tremendous surf, every boat was staved in the at teMpt to lower them, and the land half a mile on our lee- we had oothingto tru at to but the waves, and to place our confidence in the Almighty. The 'scene of horror and distress then became I ndescribable. The cries of the females and children were h eart-rending. It was said that the bottom had parted from t he upper works. Every person was naked, and up to the oiiddl e in water, and the distress was increasing every m illmut. Three spars of wood were got over the side on which Persons, including myself, providentially reached the shore; but we were all so much exhausted, that had not . the natives come tu our assistance, the return Of the surf would have carried us out again ;-we found on the shore a sailor who had been washed u verhoard," to whom the safety of so many lives is owing : he f ortunately spoke the language and succeeded in getting four Vatarnarans from the shore to the assistance of the suf zerers • a large boat was got off, but could not get nearer than one hundred yards., and with difficulty was kept above water. At eleven, the ship parted across the centre, and all the crew passengers were obliged to get on the masts to have the tui.P as a breakwater, from which many were washed away, V_eml; so fatigued they co old not hold on. The Catamarans nit at work until two o'clock, when the wind increased that luercould not get near the wreck, and had afterwards to desist, muting it impossible to be of further use. A Frenchman, his wife and two daughters, with two of the crew, were seen on the l teck ; at four o'clock the stern parted, on which the French ' I4 Y, with her eldest daughter, reached the s hore ; the f a ther, with the other daughter„ perished, as did the two sailors, one of whom was seen at dark sticking to the remains of the bows, which , was held by the Anchors. The shore for six miles was strewed with the ship and cargo. The total . number that „perished is stated to be 22. It is added that Capt. Scott exerted himself wonderfully, and is free from all blame." ••AKOTHER ACCOUNT. [EXTRACT FROM JOHN BULLINT THE EAST-CALCUTTA, AUGUST 27, 1821.1 " Just as our paper was goinc , to press, we gained the fol lowing particulars regarding th e loss of the ship Lady Lush ington, which : may be, depended on :—The Captain sailed fry Madras on the. sth instant, intending to - land Major Yeatherall and his .. Lady at Coringa. On the evening of the 7th, they saw the Coringa light, but could not snake the, Nnt after beating for it fOr several days, the Captain re saved to make for Pentacottab, which. he neared, we b•T lieve, on the evening of the 11th, and then , cast anchor.— Having however parted from this the Captain stood out for sea about midnight the officer of the watch conceiving they were A sufficient distance to allow of their running in shore during the remainder of the night, put the ship about. A. brine from the seaward arose towards morning, and at four o'clock, A.M. the vessel was driven further 'in shore, and at length stuck firm on the sand about half a mile from the beach. - It was now apparent that all was lost, and every one began to think how best to save himself—so:ne got on shore on spars, almost miraculously through the dreadful 'surf, others in catamarans, which wereprovided by . a heroic seaman, who swam on shore and collected all the natives he could find.—The number lost was 22, among whom, we regret to state, were Capt. Hampton, 7th Madras Native Infantry, Ensign Wright, Mr. Wilson, for merly. Purse! in the country service, Mr. Ito seas and his daughter, and Mr. Lyster, 2d officer of the Lushington. The ship parted in two at eleven, A.M., and before evening scarce a vestige of her was visible. Airs. kosseau, who was saved, was on the stern, and her unfortunate husband was on the stem, when she parted.—Major Weatherall and his . Lady are like wise safe, and Mr. Carpenter, onl7 son of Colonel Carenter. The situation of the su.vivors is said to have been truly deplor able;.- all were nearly without clothes. The Commander is ac quitted of blame." SOUTH AmEtticA.—Numerous letters were re ceived in town yesterday - from South America, brought by the Own Glendower, but they add little to the information given in our paper of yesterday. The entry of the troops under Gen. .CANTARAC, is considered a favo'urable circum stance rather than other Wise for the Independent cause, and likely the sooner to bring the contest to a termination. They remained for two days drawn up in view of the army of General SAN MARTIN, «ho then permitted them, without ma - lestation, to enter the fortress. General CAN TARAC, it is understood, could take with him no supply of provisions, which were the real want of the garrison, sufficient before to defend Callao against a much more powerful force than SAN MARTIN commanded, but which was now. likely, by the additional number of months, to be reduced . the sooner to extremity. The feeling of the lower .orders in Lima is Stated' to be decidedly. in favour of SAN MARTIN : he had raised 4,000 negro volunteers in, two' days, and a s4pply of more than 10,000 muskets would,reach him about the 20th of September from Valparaiso.—The Ed _ _ ward Ellice and Lord Suffield; two of the vessels sent into Valparaiso for adjudication by Lord COCHRANE, have been liberated, and proceeded on voyages to Peru. They had scarcely left the port, when the Creole frigate arrived from Lima, on board of which were documents found by Lord CocuaANE in that city, of a nature to jus. tify the detention of those vessels. The Lord Cathcart and the Indian, which remained at Val paraiso under similar circumstances, would, it was supposed, in consequence of the additional evidence procured, be condemned. Letters from Malta to the 20th of December state, that the Government of the island had issued a proclamation, prohibiting the exporta-, tion of warlike stores or ammunition. The brig Nymph, which arrived a few days before from London, with muskets and 400 barrels of gun powder on board, was laid under an embargo ; but as her cargo was originally intended for Con stantinople, it was supposed she would be suf fered to proceed. The only consequence of the prohibition would be to transfer all the trade in the articles comprehended in it to Genoa and Leg horn, where no such impediment existed. This measure was extremely unpopular with the British merchants resident in Malta, who were looking with some degree of hope to the removal of old restrictions, rather than anticipating. new, ob stacles to their declining commerce. Sir Tito m.l.s MAITLAND arrived there a few days before from Corfu. He has desired the principal mer chants of Malta to submit to him their opinion respecting the continuance of the monopoly in corn, together with the grounds on which that opinion was formed. A report was current that this branch of the trade of the island will be thrown open in June next. Extract of a letter dated Santiago di Chili, Oct. 9.—" The death of Carrera, in Mendoza, will restore tranquillity to that and the neigh bouring provinces, as well as give greater secu rity to that which we enjoy already. Benavides is again disturbing the Province of Conception, but the force which is on its march against him ought to be fully sufficient to put him down.— Last year he built a vessel, with which he took one or two whalers, and lately received, it is said, from the Spanish Ambassador in Rio Ja neiro, a supply of arms. But his ships are ren dered useless, by his having cut up their sails for clothing for his men, and two armed vessels have sailed from Valparaiso, to take or destroy them. The issue of the campaign in Peru is looked to with a very natural anxiety, but with great con fidence, as no doubt San Martin will continue to lact with that prudence and discernment which he has hitherto shewn." Extract of a letter recently received atGreenock from Demerara ItouGn, the President, has been lately suspended by the Governor, a thing which was devoutly prayed for, and expected to happen a year ago. The Court of Justice has undergone a thorough purification, in the nomi nation of new members, and Judicial business now proceeds with regularity, in the most satis factory manner. In other respects, lam sorry to say, that the interest of the Planters continues to suffer severely from the uncommon depression in the produce markets, at home, and that of the merchants here, suffers proportionately, from the intimate connection that subsists between the two bodies. In short, business is alMost at a stand." —(Glasgow Courier, Jan. 19.) Yesterday THOMAS EVINCE, Esq. who has for 21 years presided as a Magistrate at Union Hall Police Office, resigned the. situation, and MAU RICE SWABEY, Esq. was appointed to fill it. The resignation of Mr. EVANCE is much regretted by those who were , in the habit of acting under his authority. lle has been 46,years Recorder of Kingston-upon-Tharnes, 20 years Recorder of Deal, and - 44 years Chairman of the Michaelmas Sessions of the county of Surrey. In the former part of his life he was in extensive practice at the Chancery Bar, during which time, in conse quence of the respect entertained for him by the late and present Lord Chancellors, he was suc cesively appointed a Commissioner of Lunatics, a Commissioner of Tam Quays, and a Commis sioner of Bankrupts, which he still holds.

Saturday evening last, and it must he gratifying to the public to know that the Selection was .entirely English, consist ing of the most beautiful glees, by, various Au thors, interspersed with songs and choruses from the Divine Oratorios of Handel.—About 60 of the Nobility were present. His MAJESTY was it ex cellent health and spirits. The Performers were, Master Gear, Master Jones, Mr. Hawes', Mr. Vaughan, and 3. B. Sale. Mr. Attwood pre sided at the Grand Piano IForte.--p-On Sunday his MAJESTY attended Divine Service in the Chapel Royal, when an excellent Sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. Pearson ' • the Prayers were read by the Very Reverend the Dean of Hereford, assisted by the Reverend W. Holmes, Sub-Dean of the Chapels Royal. The music was a " Dcum," by Dr. Aldrich—with — Hear my prayer, by Kent, sung by the Gentle men who had the honour of performing before his Majesty the previous evening. THE THEATRE.—The Tragedy of King Lear introduced Miss EDMISTONE last night at Drury- Lane Theatre, in the part of Cordelia, in which she Certainly appeared to greater advantage than she did in Jane Shore and Lady Macbeth. In the former •she did not sufficiently exhibit the patient suffering and meek submission of the persecuted heroine; and in the other . she did not adequately supply the vehemence and energy of the ruthless Scottish Queen.—ln Cor della she was tender, spirited, and affecting. Mr. KEAN's Lear was not successful when he performed the part before, and though it was im proved last night, it was by no means equal to the dignified standard of the injured, choleric Monarch. . COOPER gave the assumed madness, the filial affection, and the gallant spirit of Edgar, with Critical truth and feeling, and POPE %veil hit off the resolute bluntnesir.Of old Kent. The play was on the whole .very well received. CHARLES KNY VETT, Esn.--This Gentleman, after a lingering illness, which he bore with manly fortitude, closed his respectable life, in the 70th year of his age, oui Saturday last, at his house .in Blandferd-Place,. Pall Mall. He was long known and highly respected in the Musical World. His. professional talents pro cured him the patronage of our late vene rable Monarch at an early period, and that patronage was graciously extended .to him by his present MAJgsTy. Mr. .I{.2vrvErr had three sons, one of whom is now on the - Staff of the British army ; he educated ' the other two ,for the musical profession, and the distinction which they have attained, as Performers and Composers, with the respectability of their private -characters, manifest the excellence of parental instruction, moral and scientilic.—The . com panionable qualities, good sense, knowledge of the world, propriety of conduct, and ardent loyalty of the late Mr. KNYYETT, render ed him an acceptable guest to many of our highest Nobility 'during the musical vacations, particularly to all the Directori of the Ancient Concerts; and it may be truly affirmed ; that his merits, personal and professional, will long be re meinbeted,auetesteemed by . all who had the plea sure of being acquainted with him. • • , . • FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

SINGULAR WILL. . • ; t•• A% . rj•N, • ; tt A t e 4 • _2",.';• Vi , S'2-r OY qi • % - irCC TO THE EDITOR OF THE CALCUTTA JOURNAL; Stx— In the absence of other local news, perhaps.the follow ing singular Will; publishedin Calcutta, in the year 1780,May be acceptable to your Readers : The following very remarkable and facetious Will was made by a Mr. Daniel Nlartinett, of Calcutta who, besides leaving various laughable ,Legacies to many of the principal Gentle men of the Settlement, left all his Debts to be paid by 11. Van sittart, Esq. then the Governor of Bengal, who with great rood nature and humanity- very faithfully complied with the Will of the deceased : The last Will and Testament of Mr. Daniell illartinett, of Calcutta, in the East Indies. In the name of GOD, Amen. _ I, Daniel Martinett, of the Town of Calcutta, being in per fect mind And memory, though weak in body, make this my last Will and Testament in manner following, appointing my truly beloved Mend, Mr. Edward Gulston in the service of the Honourable United East India Company, of the aforesaid town, to be my Executor, revoking all my former Wills. To avoid Latin phrases, as it is a tongue I am not well versed in, I shall speak in plain English. • _ First. —I recommend my Soul to Almighty Gon, hoping for pardon for all my past iniquities. Secondly.—As to wordly concerns, in the manner following : As to this fulsome carcase, having seen enough of worthy pomp, I desire nothing relative to it be clone, only its being stowed away in my old Green Chest, to avoid expenec ; for as I lived profusely, I die frugally. Thirdly.—The Undertaker's Fees come to nothing, as I won them from him at a game of billiards, in the presence of Mr.. Thomas .Morice and William Parke, at the said William Parke's house, in February last. I further More request, not only as it is customary, but as I sincerely believe the prayers of the good availed) and are truly consistent with decency, that the Rev. Mr. H. Butler read the prayers which are customary at Burials, and also preach a Funeral Sermon the Sunday next after my decease, taking his text from Solomon—" All is va nity." In consideration of which, over and above his fees, I bestow on him all my hypocrisy, which he wants as a modern good man ; but as my finances are low, and I cannot conve niently discharge his fees, I hope he will please to accept tho will for the deed. Fourthly.—To Governor Henry Vansittart, F..•. as an opu lent man, I leave this discharge of all such sum or sums of Money (the whole not exceeding 300 Rupees) that I shall stand indebted to indigent persons in the town of Calcutta. Fifthly.—To Mr. George Gray, Secretary to the Presidency, I bequeath all my Sincerity. Sixthly.—To Mr. Simon Droze, all my Modesty. Sevcnthly.—To Mr. Henry Higginson, all 'the Thoughts I hops I shall die possessed of. Eighthly.—To Mr. Thomas Forbes, all the Assurance which I haol when I had taken a cheerful glass, though in fact a dole ful cup. Ninthly.—My Wearing Apparel, Furniture, Books, and every thing else I die possessed of; I bequeath to them who stand most in need of them, leaving it to the discretion of my Executor, Mr. Edward Gulston (excepting the things after mentioned). Unto Capt. Edward Nlenzies, of the ship Hiber nia, I give my . Sea Quadrant ; invented by Hadley, and made by Howell; in the Strand; likewise my two-feet Gur.ter's Scales ; these I give him, because I believe he knows the use of them better than any Commander out of this port. My. Silver Watch and -Buckles, I give to Mr. Edward Guls ton, in lieu of his sincere friendship to me during our acquaint ance ;, and these I hope he will not part with, unless his neces sities require it, which, I sincerely hope, will never be the case. Also to Mr. Thomas Forbes, I my gold ring with a blue stone therein, which he may exchange for a mourning one if he pleases. I give my Bible and Prayer-book, to the Rev. Mr. Ilepry Butler. My Sword with a cut and thrust blade, I give to Captain Knox, as I verily believe he not only knows hOw, but has courage to use it, and I hope only in a good cause.. As I have lived the make garde of a modern Gentleman, be ing a butt for envy, and a mark for malice by acting a little out of -common road, thouo thank God, never in a base way, I hope I may die with sincere love and charity to all men, tor giving all.my persecutOrs, as I hope for forgiveness from my Creator _ As it lies not in my power to bequeath any thing to my rela tions at home, 1 shall say nothing concerning them, as theY have not for' these six years past concerned themselves' about me ; excepting that I heartily wish them all well, and that my brothers and sisters may make a more prosperous voyage through this life than I have done.

The horse immediately returned to the house, where its master had been to receive the money, and by its neighings and the noise of its feet at tracted the attention of the people of the house, who were no less astonished than alarmed at its re-appearance without its rider. One of them mounted the horse, and allowed it to go its own course ; the animal set off at full trot in the di rection of the river, and stopped at the very spot where it is supposed its master had disappeared. The body was taken out of the water, and in his purse was found the money he had deceived. ADMIRALTY Jolctr S'lebNne, IVrn.

Board-room of Middlesex flospital, on the body of Jane Mitchell, who was burnt to death on . Friday last. Previous to the , Jury being: sworn, one of the Gentlemen .asked the Coroner, if there was any objection to a tradesman being on the Jury ? . The Coroner, in answer, said he knew of nOne.

During• their absence' the deceased, who was about eight years of age, kindled a fire, from which a spark flew out, and the unfortunate. girl was instantly enveloped in flames, and ran into the, 'court; where a neighbour gave her ' aSsistance and extinguished the fire by throwing a 'counter pane over her person. A surgeon was sent for, who directed her to be taken to the hospital, which was done, but; medical aid was of no avail, and she died on the following day. • The Foreman of the Jury, addressing the, Coroner, said,: he fore they returned their verdict they entreated he wonld,ad monish the parents of the deceased, as it would serve as a cau tion, and prevent accidents 31r future.
