It also states, that the Grecian General ULYSSES, with 18,000 Greeks, after retreating to a proper position, fought a battle, and gained a great victory ; 7000 Turks, amongst 'whom were three Paellas, were made'pri soners, and a still greater number is represented to have fallen in the battle and in the pursuit. The Greek General was slain, and CHOURSCIITD PACHA was reported to be one of the three Paellas made prisoners. It is impossible to give entire credit to such decisive events without farther confirmation, although the Gentleman at Vienna, who sends the information, assures his friend in London, that he may rely on its correctness, and in no instance yet have his communications proved erroneous. The letters from Smyrna are dated on the 17th ult. at which time that place enjoyed undisturbed repose; they confirm the accounts communicated a few days ago by The Chronicle of the English merlof war refusing to interfere with the Grecian blockade of places belonging to their cojentry, occupied by the Turks. They also make no mention of the Turkish fleet, which _must increase the doubts entertained of its having left the Dardanelles. Advices hive been received from Leghorn, dated on the 13th, and from Genoa, dated on the 15th current. -At the latter place a considerable advance has taken place in the value of Piedmontese and Lombardy 'Wheat. India corn, rice, and pulse, had also risen in price, in consequence of tile deficiency in the Italian crops this harvest. Had the letters from Turkey confirmed the closing of the Bosphorus, this intelligence would have been important to the English agriculturists, as affording them an opportunity of reaping benefit from their surplus growth, but the Constantinople letters make no mention of the communication with the Blak Sea having been interrupted. There is however, at present, a good prospect of a demand for British wheat from Spain, Italy, and tile South of France, should these kingdoms not get supplied from other corn coun tries, where prices are 'cheaper than in England. A severe winter will probably create an export demand in England, for the supplies from the Black Sea are not expected to satisfy the demand in the Mediterranean, and a vent will be found for the bonded wheat now in granary, should the Baltic ports and those in the North of Europe be early closed this season. The letters from Bahia are to the 9th July. There was at that time considerable alarm. All the towns are represented as having declared for an independent Government, whilst the in habitants of the country wished to continue subject to the mother-country. Much tumult and confusion were expected in consequence of this difference of opinion on a subject so deep ly interesting to their future prosperity, and some even dreaded that the result would be a civil war. - The English Funds continue extremely heavy. Very little business is doing in the Consols, for 31. 15s. per Cent. is con sidered very low interest for capital. Consols for the settle ment to-morrow remain at 8O 1, the principal speculators preferring to job their accounts over to the 16th October, at 80, to an immediate settlement. The differences to-morrow in the time bargains are expected to be smaller than ever remembered, for there has, during the last month, been scarcely any variation in prices. The Foreign Securities acquire more interest amongst the monied classes daily, and reflection adds increased confidence in their stability.— They are all much in demand, both for the investment of capital at a good rate of interest, and also for speculations in the future improvement of their value. Should the beneficial influences which all these Foreign Loans must produce in the nations for which they have been contracted be followed by a general freedom of commerce, England will soon not only draw back her lent capital, in profits on foreign trade, but also doubly increase her own prosperity and happiness, by having enabled all the nations with which she is connected, to increase their productive wealth so much as to render them capable or paying for whatever their wants may require England to furnish them with out of the industry of her people.

The perusal of the " Charge delivered to the Clergy of the Diocese of London, at the Visita tion in July, IST!, by the Lo RD BISHOP of LoN. DON," will afford a high gratificati on to , the friends of the Established Church. Charge first treats of that part of the Statute-law which re lates to the " Residence of the Clergy, and the Maintenance of Stipendiary Curates ;" secondly, of " the present state of Society, in its immediate bearings on Religion ;" thirdly, of " the manner of executing the duties attached to the Clergy's parochial Charge ;" and, _fourthly, of the main tenance of " that elevation of character which in their situation can only be gained by wisdom, piety, and virtue." The second division of the Charge is on an extremely important subject, one in which the mass of the public, as well as the members of the Established Church, must feel deeply interested.—The Bishop of London having dwelt at some length on the first head of his Charge, proceeds—" From these matters of discipline, I turn, (secondly) to a subject of more general interest,—The present state of so ciety, in its immediate bearings on Religion. We live at one of those remarkable periods, which constitute eras in the history of the world. For a series of years preceding the French Re volution, the diffusion of knowledge and cultiva tion of intellect in France, and the neighbouring countries, exceeded in such a proportion the countervailing powers of religion and morality, that all competent judges, acquainted with the state of society, agreed in opinion that soma mighty convulsion was at hand. Of the disasters which followed that dreadful event, and the shock which it gave to the civil and religious in stitutions of the Continent, it is altogether super fluous to speak. But whilst the world was in , volved in confusion around us, this country, by the blessing of PROVIDENCE, was not only pre ' served from destruction, but rose to an eminence of glory and power, which it had never attained in former times. In reasoning on the causes of this difference in our favour, we are justified, I trust, in ascribing our safety to the quantity of virtue and good sense produced in the country by the free constitution of our government, the equal administration of our laws, the principles which re gulate our seminaries for the education of youth, and, above all, to the prevalence of a sound, a pure, a reasonable Religion, dispensed and ad ministered by a body of Clergy, who, from their external condition, and still more from their learning and piety, have an influence on the minds of the people, not, only through the me dium of their pastoral functions, but by the effect of their writings,and the estimation which they bear in the community. The immediate danger is now past : but when we direct our attention to the systematic culture of intellect introduced in the course of a few years among all classes, we can not but feel an anxiety lest the balance of socie ty should suffer disturbance from this sudden in. crease of its momentum. In proportion as these additional energies imparted to the mass of the people are under the direction of good principles, they will give stability to the Government, ad vance the cause of religion and morals, and con tribute to the general advantage.' But there is no necessary connection between knowledge and goodness, between the possession of intellectual power, and a disposition to apply it to its proper ends. Its legitiniate use may exalt us to heights of civilization and happiness, as much above our present condition, as that condition excels the state of society at the commencement of the 15th century; its abuse may be fatal to our existing esta blishments, may demolish the bulwarks of strength and security, erected by the wisdom of our an cestors, and consolidated during a succession of ages, by their continued labours. The enemies of religion and order are so well aware of these consequences, that, while they profess an earnest desire to enlighten the people, they encourage that mode of instruction alone which instils no -fixed principles of religion, no preference to any form of worship. It therefore must be our ob ject, on the other hand, to maintain the propor, tion which should always exist between the ac tive powers of the public mind, and the controul and direction of theiy exercise by the operation of moral causes. And this we must do, not by discouraging the acquisition of knowledge, or the cultivation of understanding, among the lower orders, but by taking e ff e ct ua l me th o d s to supply their minds with just notions of their duty to wards God and man, and place them under the habitual direction of sound principles and good feelings. I need not inform you, my Reverend Brethren, that this is our peculiar province, and that the filial attachment, which is manifested by so many wise and virtuous persons, to the Church and the Clergy, is founded in a rational persua sion of the superior excellence of our national faith and worship, and of the benefits derived to the country from the ability and zeal of its Mi nisters. I have adverted above to the influence of the Clergy as one of the principal causes which insured the safety of the nation, amidst the ex tremes of confusion and anarchy which agitated the neighbouring countries; and I cannot but think that any material diminution of thdt influence, which is essential to the success of their exertions, and of course still more its extinction, would produce, at no great distance of time, the most injurious consequences both to the Church and State. Their weight in society of course will depend on the estimation in which their character is held, and on the manner in which they discharge their duties.--puis Lordship's own italics.]—Allow me me to call your attention to these two points.— The Laity have a right to expect that the attain ments, in learning and piety, of the Clergy, con sidered as a body, should rise, at the least, above the ordinary level of other classes of society.— Such comparative excellence, I believe, to have been found in every country where the discipline or doctrine of the Church has been maintained in tolerable purity. I even think it essential to the continued existence of any religious establish ment. It was one of the most efficient causes of that respect for the sacred order, which occa sioned their gradual advance in riches and power, and was long retained amidst gross abuses of both, in the middle ages. If, in that period of darkness, ecclesiastics were licentious and illi terate, the body of the people was still more deeply immersed in vice and ignorance. It is true, that the scandal occasioned by the remiss ness of discipline, and the immoralities which infected the Church, undermined by degrees the foundations of the ecclesiastical power, and at length brought about the Reformation. Yet it does not appear that the clergy in that day were less respectable in attainments or morals than in se veral preceding centuries. The number of eccle siastics distinguished by learning and sanctity who respectively supported the Reformation, or ad hered to the Church of Rome, abundantly proves the contrary. But of the general improvement which took place in society at the revival of let ters, the largest proportion had fallen to the share of the Laity ; the Clergy, from various causes, were not benefitted in an equal degree : and from this alteration in their relative circumstances, and its effect on the feelings of the public, they necessarily lost the ascendancy, which had been preserved without difficulty by their less merito rious predecessors in a darker age. In referring to these historical facts, it is simply my object to urge the ~ necessity of maintaining our proper position in relation to the - mass of society ; to press the important truth, that, if other classes advance in knowledge, intelligence, virtue, and piety,and the Clergy, whatever are their positive merits in all these respects, continue stationary, they are placed on a different level in regard to their flocks, and will suffer a proportionate loss in their credit and weight With the public, and consequently in their professional utility. It is incumbent on us to advance with the progress of the times ; and every individual should act as if the whole interests of religion depended on his personal character, and the faithful exertion of his powers within his allotted sphere. 'ln all ranks of society are numbers of persons who are quali fied to judge of our learning, of the soundness of our doctrine, and the efficiency of our instructions, and who regard with disg - usts vett the slightest inat tention to duty, or impropriety of moral conduct. And far be it from us to consider this as an evil. If such conscientious censors had the direction of public opinion, their honest inspection would be of the greatest advantage to all classes of men, and, without offence be it said, to the Clergy.-- But where knowledge is extensively spread, the power it gives will be often exerted detriment ally. Even the spirit of piety will sometimes act on erroneous views; will be found in combina tion with attachment to party, which gives an ob liquity to its motions, or defeat its own inten tions by an alliance with enthusiasm or folly. It is not easy to calculate the multiplied difficulties which, from these and similar causes, increase on the Clergyman, as the world advances in know ledge, and create a corresponding necessity of , discretion in his conduct, and energy in the dis charge of his duties. There have, perhaps, been times in the Church, when reverence to official station might protect the infirmity, or throw a veil over the failings of the Minister : but now, when he is subjected at every step to the scru tiny of inquisitive malice; when opposition is created to his honest endeavours to be useful, from so many various causes ; when the esta blishment of a School, or the enlargement of a Church, is resisted by one man from some wretched political prejudice, by another through caprice or perverseness, and by a third in resent ment for some fancied neglect, which disposes him to mortify the pastor in the tenderest point bide feating his schemes for the benefit of his flock, we see how great is the necessity of the utmost assist ance which personal qualifications can lend to his sacred function. But if the Minister has on the one side to contend with the opposition of adversaries, he is assailed on the other by the in judicious zeal of real or apparent friends; who, pursuing beneficial objects without due regard to the means which they employ, or sacrificing ge neral principles to the prospect of.some imme diate good, are disposed to accuse him of indif ference, or bigotted attachment to forms, if, through regard to good order or apprehension of distant consequences, he refuses to co-operate in their favourite schemes. In the midst of these difficulties our only real security will be found in a fixed resolution to act in every instance on de liberate views of duty, and a sincere and sober love of truth, under a controliing sense of that Supreme Authority, from which we derive our commission, as the guides and teachers of our brethren. The natural tendency of these prin. ciples to enlighten and tranquillize the mind, af fords the strongest of safe-guards as well against error and indiscretion (more frequently the effects of some undue bias on the affections, than of na tural weakness of judgment) as against the trans ports of passion, which irritate, offend, and dis gust, and produce lasting resentments and divi sions. A Clergyman who acts on these motives will have the advantage of moving with authority, dignity, and freedom ; he will retain his influence over his friends, though he may refuse compliance with their prejudices ; he will treat the gainsayer with kindness, whilst he exposes the unsoundness of his principles; and will show courtesy and friend liness to the dissenter, without being supposed to Pi is SEVENPENCt. approve his errors. The general rule of his pro. ceedings will be, to " overcome evil with good," by conciliation to all men, as far as it is consists ent with the interests of truth, and that enlight ened attachment which he feels to the Church, from a thorough persuasion that the best interests of religion are concerned in its stability, and that no particular advantage which can be expected from popular favour, or the exertions of irregular piety, would counterbalance the evils arising from the neglect of its discipline and ordinances, or the diminution of its salutary influence. This, I conceive, is the genuine liberality which is the grace and ornament of the true Christian ; a virtue, as far removed from indifference, as from the contentious spirit which ,assumes the disgu: , ?., of zeal. The sentiment misnamed which looks with equal approbation on every sect that professes Christianity, is, in its most inno cent form, a low and contemptible vanity ; it is more frequently, perhaps, a profligate indiffer ence to religion, or insidious hostility intending its ruin, by depressing the Established Church. But true liberality is firm iu its own principles, while it looks with indulgence on the mistaken views of others ; and never approaches so near to perfection, as in union with zeal, under the direction of charity and prudence. It would ill deserve the character of a Christian virtue, if it could lend its countenance, however indirectly, to error or falsehood, or shrink from the defence of truth." [FURTHER EXTRACTS.] _ _. On the subject of CHURCH DISCIPLINE, the following Remarks on RESIDENCE are entitled to the particular attention of the Clergy : " On the ger eral obligation to residence, I will not re peat what I have said in former addresses, and have never failed to inculcate, as opportunity offered, upon individual Clergymen, in private. You cannot be ignorant that, what , ever exemptions are allowed by the law, or left to the con , sideration of the Bishop, the responsibility of declining the personal discharge of your duties must rest with yourselveS ; and that if you would staid absolved at a higher tribunal, you must be well assured that the grounds of your proceed ing are ench as will abide the scrutiny of your own con science. In determining a point of so much importance, you should be careful to understand your motives, and not be lightly discouraged, by apprehensions for your health cr comfort, from the performance of a bounden duty. Ido not press the invidious topic of abandoning your charge to a " hire , ling." Thy expression involves an affront to a highly meritc rious pc ram of t:ie Clergy, engaged in the active and faithful di, .4 c barge of the most useful professional duty, and supplying a suc , cession of Ministers for the higher departments of the Church. The "hireling" is he, whether beneficed or not, who acts or. personal views of pleasure or proiit, without concern for the welfare of his flock; and nothing can be less consistent with truth than the imputation of such criminal profligacy to any de scription of the Clergy. The distinction of beneficed and stipen diary is accidental and external, affecting in no way the intrin sical dignity of the Priesthood, which is neither increased nor di minished by the proportions of honour or emolument attached to different situations in the Church ; nor do I knotv of any inferiori-. ty of the Cnrate to his Rector, beyond the subordination result ing from this particular relation. This view of the case sup plies infallible rules for the regulation of their mutual inter course. The beneficed Clergyman contracts an engage ment with a brother, on whom he devolves a most sacred and important trust; and not, it is to be presumed, without proper regard to the requisite qualifications of attainments, temper, morals, and pi e ty. F rom a fellow-labourer of such ' a description in the care of his vineyard, it is hardly conceiv able that he should withhold the liberal treatment, the offices of courtesy, the marks of attention, which are neces= sary to make the situation of a Curate agreeable to himself, and respectable in the eyes of his parishioners. In return, he has a right to expect equal civility, a friendly and zealous concern for his reputation and interest, a ready attention to his advice, a respectful deference to his suggestions. The Curate is without excuse, if he lose sight of the subordination implied in his office, and of his obligation, both in duty and decency, to comply, in a ll t hi ngs h onest and lawful, with the directions of a principal, who cannot divest himself of the right of con troul over his parish, or of responsibility for the conduct of his substitute: 1 have been led to these reflections, from the desire of rectifying the preposterous notion, which I am told has been sometimes entertained, that the Curate is rendered inde pendent of the Rector by the Bishop's license, and cannot be justly displaced, except for such flagrant misconduct as would render him altogether unworthy of any professional employ ment." The following is the close of the Bishop's charge to his Clergy : " In conclusion, allow me to observe, that While the Clergy maintain that elevation of character which in their situation can only be gained by wisdom, piety, and virtue ;—while they la bour with the zeal which becomes their profession, to train up the rising generation in the principles of sound morality and Christian faith, and secure the attachment of their flocks to their persons and office, by conscientious attention to their duties, there is little cause to apprehend that eitherdissent or irreligion will be finally victorious in their assaults on the national Church. It is true, that while the reason of man is obnoxious to error and prejudice, while his affections are warped, by the influence of partialities, interests, and passions, we must never h o p e to _ accomplish the entire extirpation of infidelity, or the union of the whole population in the profession of one Common faith.— But, whatever impediments are opposed to the complete suc cess of our exertions, we have no reason to think that, as long as we labour with sincerity in the service of God, they will prove altogether fruitless. The heart of the people is still sound. If the ebullitions of desperate wickedness, at a period of incidental excitement, 'occasioned a temporary alarm, the opposition by which they were instantly met, and the rapid return of tranq u illity, h ave ev i nce d t h e stea dy preponderance of better principles and feelings. I am, indeed, fully persuaded, that the extravagancies of frantic infidelity are means in the order of Providence for the promotion of virtue and truth, by provoking discussions which lead to the disper sion of error, by disposing the careless to reflection, by de termining the irresolute to inquiry, by awakening energies which might otherwise have slumbered in inaction, and rous ing the horror and indignation which vice and impiety, when they throw off the mask, will never fail to inspire in generous and honest minds. Such, on all former occasions, has been the uniform result of the violence directed by infidels against our holy religion in this country ; and when I con sider the general expression of disgust at the blasphemcus bell which were lately pat in circulation—when I recollect the number and excellence of the popular tracts in deren..e of the religion so basely traduced, and the reception which they experienced from the public, I cannot but think that the evidences of the Christian Revelation, and the nature and grounds of the Christian Faith, are in consequence more generally understood, and th e p eo pl e , on t h e w h o l e, more firmly attached to the creed of their fathers,' than if it had never been called in question. 'When I behold, on the other hand, the continued exertions of piety, in the distribu tion of the Scriptures and Scriptural tracts—in the enlarging of churches—in the erection of schools, at home and abroad— in founding extensive establishments with a view to the coin. version of the Heathen—l am compelled to infer from this active munificence, that the breath of impiety has neither quenched the flame of religion among us, nor sallied its purity, nor abated the intensity of its power."
