"P. C. Our Foreign Intelligence consists of extracts from,the Paris Papers to the sth inst., and from Bayonne Papers to the 30th ult. An article from Frankfort alleges that the King of NAPLES entertains the design of abdi cating his Crown, and retiring to Austria. The accounts from Spain are still indecisive, vague, and contradictory. We remarked se veral weeks since that it seemed to be the plan of MINA to avoid a general engagement, until the projected enlargement of the army should furnish him with strong reinforcements, and that in the mean time he. was occupied in securing the' possession of commanding positions, that . should enable him, when the proper time arrived, to terminate the civil war with Certainty and dispatch. From the latest intelligence, it appears that this is the course of operations which MINA has actually adopted. Some considerable time, therefore, will still pro bably elapse, before we receive the news of any important military achievement. It must be from the consciousness of weakness, or from the want of skill, that the . Royalists suffer MINA to mature his.,plan—jt-Alvay,4e -able to Cope with him, it is oovtously their interest to 'force him to a general battle without loss of time. The news from • Zante informs us that the TUrks have at length avowed their determina tion to exterminate the Greeks ! A firman of the Grand SEIGNon had been addressed to the Pacha of LEpANTCr, commanding every ,one of the Faith ful to put every infidel Christian to death who should ask quarter, prohibiting Christian cap tives from being sold as slaves, and ordering them to be destroyed ! ." The clays of favour for the impious race of the Nazarenes being passed, never again to be revived, the Only One God and his Prophet have ordered it thus at present and for the future !" The first effect of this order was the inhuman butchery of a ,great number of Christian families detained. in the Castle of Lepanto.— Cuounscuto also has murdered four Greek Archbishops, because ODYSSEUS would not suffer them to pass into the Morea, whither they had been ordered to proceed by the Pacha, for the purpose of persuading the population to submit , to the Porte ! How long are these inhuman atroci ties to be tolerated by the Christian Governments of Europe ! When will they awaken the Chris. • \\l 7 * * MASONIC NOTICES FOR NEXT WEEK.

SOLEM QUIS DICERI; F/ILSEIM ALIDEJ,IT LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 182`?• tiara•people of England to a just sense of-what is due from them in the outraged cause of religion and humanity [From the French Papers, .by the Mail this morning.] S EMLIN, 17.—The Tartarian Couriers have arrived at Belgrade with letters from Seres, of the Ist Oct:, and from Saloniquei of the Sept. The Firmans which were : issued in the above places for delivering up the gold and silver had caused great alarm. An persons who pos sessed any riches were endeavouring to escape. Another Finnan has been issued, calling back all the emigrants. Those who are in the Turkish employ are more severe against the Christians, who are already reduced to the greatest misery, and the Jews have also become the object of persecution. It might be . that the Divan has given secret orders to persecute the above persua sions. - The ifeWs are emigrating in crowds from Seres, and the neighbOurhood, making their best way into Europe. PAitra, Nov. 3.—Two couriers arrived this morning, one to the ?Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the other to the English Ambassador. . It is said that the regiments of engineers of Arras Metz an.d 'Montpelier, are to furnish each a Company, to be sent to the Army of Ob servation. Three Companies of our Miners are also to be sent to the same destination. BRUSSELS, Nov. 2.—The Princess AUGUSTA of England is hourly expected at Hanover, and the Duke of CAMBRIDGE is expected the middle of November. Boston Papers arrived this morning, to the 16th October. Custom-House, Baltimore, Collector's Office.. The Pilots of this district are hereby notified that, agreeable to the commercial convention between the United States and France, no other or higher charge of Pilotage can be demanded of French vessels from the day they are de manded of and paid by American vessels. BOSTON, OCT. 15.—The number of deaths in Baltimore, in the week ending on the 7th instant, was 81 ; of these 41 are reported as or bilous fever. The New Orleans Papers of the sth state the number of burials , on the 2d was eleven, all of whom died by fevers, but only two were denomi nated yellow fever. The publication of the proceedings, in the Metropoiitan Court of Armagh, against the Bishop of Clogher, is, in our opinion, calcu lated to advance the interests of virtue.— The loathsome and melancholy spectacle which he has been rendered, by his addiction to a course of detestable depravity, cannot but shock, and disgust every individual who beholds it, and make him recoil with horror from the very idea of that, which has brought upon its guilty per petrator such overwhelming degradation and shame. If the Report of the Proceedings had contained any indecent expressions, we certainly should have excluded it from our columns, how ever strong might have been the curiosity of the Public. On examining that portion which has reached us, we think that as an awful warning, and a most impressive example of the deplorable results invariably springing from vicious habits and pursuits, its effect is likely to be favourable both to morality and religion, by the abhorrence of crime, and the dread of its debasing conse quences, which it cannot fail to excite. Accounts from' Vienna, received by the Ham burgh mail, say,' that his Majesty of the Two Sicilies intends to resign his Crown, and then to fix his residence in the Austrian dominions. By the Agnes, Which arrived at Liverpool G 9 Monday, we have accounts from Bahia to the 19th September. The place was• in a complete state of blockade, and the merchants were all preparing to leave it, as they were in daily ex pectation of an attack. WlNoso►t, Nov. 5.---This day the Duke of Sussex arrived at Frogrnore, and paid a visit to the Princesi AUGUSTA. The Princess AUGUSTA left Frogmore soon after 12 o'clock for Bushy park, where her Royal Highness is expected' to dine.. Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, the Duke of CAMBRIDGE arrived at the King's Palace at Pimlico from Bushy. The Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER arrived in town from Bagshot on Monday. Yesterday morning, being the first day of Michaelmas term, the Judges (with the excep tion of Houtoyo and RICHARDSON), the Attor ney and Solicitor-Genera - !, and the King's Ser geants and Counsel, breakfasted with the Lord- Chancellor at Lincoln's-inn-hall; and at half past 12 they proceeded to Westminster-hall in state, to open their respective Courts. Captain FRANKLIN arrived in town on Wed nesday night, from his friends at Horticastle, in Lincolnshire, and is about to proceed on a visit to Earl BATHURST, at Cirencester. A Gentleman who has lately travelled through Herefordshire, informs us, that in several parts a tine turkey might be bought for 25., a goose for ls. 10d., two fowls Is. 2d., a pair of chick ens 10d, and butchers' meat and provisions cheap in pro portion.

' Oro t - `ZR OY - 4!•1 THE THEATRES. DRURICA',ANE.—As we have already noticed the representation of Pizarro at this Theatre, we-have only to state, that it was performed suc cessfully last night, and followed by a new Melo drame, • entitled The Two Galley Slaves. We subjoin an outline of the PLOT. ! Francois, (Mr. COOPER) a stranger to the village, and in distress, obtains 'from Dumont, (Mr. GavriE) an asylum in his house. • After a long residence, he engages the affections of Clara, (Mrs. WEsT) a young widow, who is the niece ofDu mont.; Notwithstanding- . the mystery which 'hangs over Fran cois, and which he refuses to explain, Dumont consents to his union with his niece; being perfectly convinced, froth the con duct of the stranger, of his uprightness and integrity. The first scene discloses the dawn of 'the wedding-day, the serenity of which is disturbed by the appearance of an unknown person (Mr. TERRY) meanly habited, who is flying from the officers of justice, and being overcome with fatigue, faints at Dumont's door. Dumont and his family come out to relieve him, when ,Francois is recognised by the unknown, and thrown into no small consternation, upon his threatening to disclose his ( Fran cois ) real niune.and infamy. Francois, to avoid this, soli cits a private interview on the following morning. At this meeting the villain extorts money from 'him on the ground of ,relieving him of his company, and finally succeeds in discover' ing the place where Ckrra's property is deposited. This hi takes the first opportunity to carry oil', but is discovered by the servants, and pursued. During the pursuit, he falls in with Francois, and demands of him his safety, but Francois, de termined no longer to be frightened by,his menaces, refuses it, Upon which the villain fires on him, and wounds him in the left arm. Whilst he is insensible, from loss of blood, the servants .take (Olds coat, and discover, imprinted on his arm, the brand of infamy. His afflicted wife demands of him the nature of his crime. He confesses that he has escaped from the galleys, and that the wretch who wounded him effected his escape at the same time, but he declares his innocence of the crime imputed to him, alleging, that it was to save a, brother, who, with him self, had been intrusted with the management of his Uncle's busineas, and which brother had purloined a considerable sum of money. Francois is 'charged with the theft, and, to ex onerate his brother, refuses to clear himself, upon which he is convicted and branded. In the mean time, the unknown villain is retaken by the Police, and being confronted with Francois, he makes known the real name of Francois, and his escape corn the galleys. The Uncle, who is present, upon this dis closure, steps forward, recognises in Francois his N e ph e w Dclville, tells him that his elder brother has confessed his guilt, and by so doing, has freed him from all imputation, and that a f3ree pardon has been grantetAim from. Upon this the villain, who, it turns but, was instrumental in Francois' conviction; attempts to stab him : this, however, is frustrated, and the whole concludes with the happiness of all parties, as usual. This Piece is an avowed translation from the French. It was very well represented throughout, ,and made a, strong impression upon the audience. It was announced for repetition with warm and univeral consent.--The house was crowded. COVENT-GARDEN.—The Comedy entitled The Soldier's Daughter, which was uncomm, tly suc cessful,when it first appeared, was represented last night at this Theatre. The obvious purpose of this revival was to give scope to the talents of Miss CHESTER in the part of the Widozo Cheerly, and a more sprightly representative of it has not been seen since the days of Mrs. JORDAN. Miss CHESTER, has not• fully established her character as a comic actress of distinguished merit, and Will give animation to any dramatic works that may lie dormant for want of so sprightly and so elegant a performer. JONES, FARREN, ABBOTT, EGERTON; and CHAPMAN, ably supported the rest of the characters. After the Comedy, a Melo-drame, entitled The Tzio Galley Slaves, or The Mill of Aldervon, was represented for the first time. As it was derived from the same source as the piece with the same name, which was brought forward last night for the first time at Drury-Lane Theatre, we have , only to refer to the outline of the plot, which we have given above in our report of that Theatre. The names of the characters indeed differ. Mr. T. COOKE was the hero of the piece, and he dis played considerable merit in his part. Mrs. CHATTERLEY, who was the heroine, played with great feeling. FAWCETT, EGERTON, KEELY, and FARLEY, all acquitted themselves so well that the piece excited much sympathy as well as ap plause, and was announced for repetition with the hearty assent of one of the most numerous audiences that we have observed during the present season at this Theatre.—Some incidental dances, by a numerous- assemblage of children, produced a very pleasing effect,, as several of them are very young, and all of them were cor rectly in time and displayed their innocent graces in a very interesting manner. Madame Goss was deservedly applauded for her grace and agility in a pas seule. The third anniversary meeting of the Orange strect Sunday School Auxiliary Religious Tract Society was held yesterday evening in Orange street Chapel, Leicester-fields. The Rev. Mr. LEIFCHILD having been called to the chair, the Secretary read the Committee's Report, after which several Reverend Gentlemen addressed the meeting, and explained the object and ad vantages of the institution. A number of resolu tions of the usual kind upon such occasions were then passed unanimously, a collection ensued, and the meeting adjourned. It was more nu merously and respectably attended than the preceding meetings. MERCANTILE SHIPPING. The following was posted at Lloyd's this more. MORE PIRACIES.—The Adelphi, Movee, from Jamaica, arrived at Liverpool ; boarded on the 22nd of Septa the brig Hannah, of and for Philadelphia from St. Jago de Cubit, out 35 days : she had-been taken by a Piratical schooner and carried into Rio de Porcus, and detained 28 days ; they took ftoni her 28 bags of coffee, 14 cases of sugar, a quantity of hides, 10 Watches, quadrants and cloathes. n the 23rd of Sept. spoke the Vittoria, from Jamaica to LiVerpool, out 19 days : she saw a Piratical schooner take a French ship and an English brig the day before.

The Margaret, Fox, from Quebec to Cork, was driven on shore near Galway the 2nd inst., with loss of bulwarks, sails, and about one-fifth of her cargo, hut was got off nett day. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when Captain Alexander Nairne was "sworn into the command of the ship General Kyd, consigned to Bengal and. China. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WORSIIIP-STREET.—IMPORTANT TO LICENSED VIC TUALLERS.—Mary Jackson, of the Salmon and 1311, Lamb.street, Spitalfields, was summoned for keeping her house open at late hours. The Bow-street patrol proved they found persons in the par lour with liquor in their glasses, about 17 minutes befote 12 o'clock at.night. Mrs. Jackson admitted that persons were there, but she • proved that the tap-room was cleared at the proper hour ar4 and that the persons in the parlour were respectable tradesnieh,- and that two of them had come a considerable distance, and on their arrival came there for refreslunent. Mr. BEVILL observed this was not a case for conviction. The officer said, of this Were admitted, there would always be found an excuse for parlour custom, and it would be no use for the officers to trouble then,iselves about the parlour. Mr. BEvrii...—Nor fs if our wish that you shodld trouble yourselves with the parlour custom; where it is so respectable. The act of Parliament says, " late hours ;" and in deciding what late hours are, it leaves it to the discretion of the Magistrates, and in exercising that discretion, they are aware, that what are late hours to one class of. persons, ,may not be late hours to another; and what may be a late hour for a labourer, may not be, a late hour for a nobleman, or a person in a different station of life. In administering the law, they were bound to extend: it according to the purposes for which it was made.—The com plaint was accordingly dismissed. BOW-STRF.ET.---CRUELTY TO A NIMALS.—The driver of a hackney-coach was charged, under the late Act of Parlia ment, with wilful cruelty to animals.—lt appeared from the evidence of tic . ° Gentlemen, Whose humanity induced them to bring forward the charge, that the prisoner was driv ing a hackney chariot in Leicester-square, the horses in it were so extremely weak and exhausted that they were scarcely able to draw the vehicle, when the prisoner flogged them to a very great excess, particularly about their, heads; that they had every reason to believe he cut out one of their eyes, and he gave one of them such a violent blow on his head that it was heard at a considerable distance, and the poor animal reared up with agony. The conduct of the prisoner at tracted a number of persons. The Gentlemen admitted, that on the prisoner being remonstrated,with he was not impudent, but, on the contrary expressed his sorrow for what he had done. Mr. MINSHULL observed, that this was the first time the Act of. Parliament had come under his cognizance ; and tinder, all the circumstances he should inflict the smaller penalty which was 10s., which the prisoner or his master not paying, he was committed for fourdays. 11.1 Rua ono u Gn-s nma OT.-1n consequence of a re presentatiohat the office by the respectable inhabitants of Shep herd's Market, that fires were repeatedly made in the market by a rabble who nightly assembled there, and the depreda tions committed upon property, the whole of the officers, with plenty of assistance, repaired thither on Tuesday -even ing, it having been stated that the effigy of Guy Faux was to be burnt there. An immense fire was burning, which the officers put out, and they were assailed from the windows - of the houses with stones, bottles, &c. John Probat, a but cher, was singled out as a ringleader, inciting the mob to as aaults, and he was secured. It was represented-4o the Magis trates that the nightly assemblage of vagabond boys was into lerable. Probat was ordered to find bail. NEW LONDON BRIDGE.-The Bridge-House Committee will, we are informed, enter, in the course of this week, into an examination of the . fifty-two plans for a new Bridge, sent in for their decision. Before they commenced their task, the Committee adopted an ingenious and effec tual plan to prevent partiality in their selection, and to frustrate the efforts of those who would have exercised strong interest in favour of parti cular plans. It was at first arranged that each design sent in should have a particular motto.— The name and address of the artist were written in a sealed letter, which was endorsed with the same motto. It was soon found, that although the names of the artists were not mentioned, that per sons were disposed to exert themselves powerfully , in favour of those designs bearing particular mott-s. The Committee, to put a stop to this system, before they examined one of the designs, caused all •the. • mottos upon them to be erased by two confi dential persons, and a number to be substituted. A private account was taken of the numbers thus: substituted for the mottos, which account was immediately sealed up, and it will not be opened until a decision has taken place. Other precau tions have been adopted by the Committee, to the best of whose judgments the public may rely on an impartial choice. The Committee, hoW ever, to whose pursuits matters of this kind are foreign, do not intend to take the whole respon sibility of a decision upon themselves. They , ` made application to the Board of Works, that ' they, as a public body of scientific and practical men, would examine the plans for the new bridge, and give their opinions upon them for the benefit' of the public. The Board, however, declined taking upon themselves the task, and the Com mittee have in consequence deter Mined upon ap." plying to a number of men of science, architects,, engineers, and surveyors, by whose opinions and advice they will be principally guided in this: matter, in which the credit of the city is so much at stake. GUY FAUX DAY.—Tuesday night the whole neighbourhood of Kennington was one scene of confusion, in consequence of the celebration of the above day. The sky was completely illumined by the various bonfires which had • been made in the early part of the night, and sky-rockets: • squibs, and every description of fire-works, were let off in defiance of the public cautions that were generally issued from the various Police Establishments. At a late hour of the night the most grotesque figures, effigies of the izidivdual , c) whose memory the day was appropriated, were hoisted -ou high gallows and consigned to the raging element, which very soon demolished the men of straw, who bore tVeir sentence without a groan. The hideous yells uttered by t.te wild groups who attended the executions, reminded us of a body of savage indulging in a peculiar ceremony,; and this lind of work was carried on till a very late hour. Officers' attended at many places, and took some persons into custay, but it was"im possible for them to attend at the num rrouo places where - such proceedings were carried on. Numbers ofslight accidents occurred, and the houses of the inhabit lots Updetwent the greatest danger. ingl.
