sertion of our duty, for the crirninil apathy with which we have hitherto beheld the crimes of their tyrants,and the wretchedness of themselves! We cannot now preserve ourselves from the s hame and obloquy with which we are justly Covered. We may,—however, still evince that we are not entirely lost to all sense of duty,— s till prove the sincerity Of our penitence and our g r ief. The expression of the public voice, in commiseration of the ill-fated Greeks, and in ab horrence of their oppressors, ought to be imme diate and universal; and, if the policy of Govern ments do not permit their interference to rescue t hem from destruction, a great and generous effort °light to be made for their preservation, by every 1)1 : 0 PLE in the world pretending to the appella tk'h of CHRISTIAN, or claiming the rank of civi lization.

An officer, vii - ' with about three hundred soldiers, attacked one of the printing offices, demolished the materials, and shamefully abused the persons employed in it, as well as others who attempted to oppose his proceedings. The printer's offence was, the publishing some strictures on the conduct of the Captain General. A remonstrance to the Spanish Cortes against this wanton abuse of power was drawn up the next day, and signed by more than 3000 inhabitants. All is, con. jecture as to what will be the termination of this affair—but we are in daily expectation of a revolution in the government of this Island." The Resolutions submitted last night to the House of Commons by Mr. WILBERFORCE were all agreed to without either amendment or divi sion. They present a very interesting, and no doubt a faithful sketch, of the present state of the Slave Trade, and of the obstacles which have hitherto obstructed its final abolition,—and an enumeration of the Powers who have co-operated with Great Britain for the suppression of the in human traffic, as well as of those who have openly permitted its continuance, or have virtu ally sanctioned it by the inefficiency of their pro hibitory laws and declarations, or by secret con nivance. It is notorious that England has not only exerted all her influence, but has made great pecuniary sacrifices, in order to obtain the uni versal extinction of this detestable trade ; and though her beneficent efforts have not yet been crowned with complete success, there cannot be any doubt that by the force of her example and the ardour of her perseve rance, she will eventually triumph over all the difficulties which still impede the accomplish ment of that great and good service to the cause of humanity which she has undertaken to perform, and for which the blessings of unborn and count less millions of human beings will be poured upon her honoured name. CHINA. The following is the chop, or official docu ment, by which the trade is re-established on its former footing : " UANG, the late Panyu-Heen, and CHUNG, the Tung- Kuang Magistrate, hereby issue an order to the Hong Mer chants. " 'We have now respectfully received a reply from his Ex cellency the Governor of Kuang-Tung and Kuang-se in the following words : " The Treasurer and the Judge have stated in an authenti cated form what HUANG, the late Panyu-Heen, had stated to them, the substance of which was contained in a Chinese do cument delivered to him by the Hong Merchants from the English Chief Un.sisTox and the others, and was founded on circumstances stated by the Hong Merchants in behalf of the Chief and the others. It appears that the man of war has al ready taken away in her the foreign murderers, and has run away back to her own country ; and the Chief at this time in deed appears not to have any means of ordering the delivering up of those murderers. But it is authenticated, that the Chief and the others have presented an official document, saying that they will take all the circumstances of this affair, from first to last, and write home that it may be examined into and ma naged. " Further, the said Treasurer, Judge, and others, have, founded on certain circumstances, requested and entreated that the trade might be opened, and that indulgence might be shown, and, as in former edicts, permission be given to all the ships to open their hatches and carry on commerce. " Uniting these circumstances, I, the Governor, hereby direct the Treasurer and Judge forthwith to act in obedience to the tenour of this, and transmit an order to the Kwang- Chow-Too, and to the officers deputed to arrange this affair, to issue an edict to the Hong Merchants, that they may promulge it to the Chief, URINISTON, and the others, to re turn immediately to the foreign factories, and transact busi ness ; that all the merchant ships, without exception, are per m tted to open their hatches and take goods on board, to enable them to avail themselves of the proper season, and set sail to re turn home. This is an extraordinary favour, arising from tender regard to foreigners in me, the Governor, and they ought uni versally to feel grateful. • " 'f hus the Governor's will has come before us the Treasurer and Judge, and we direct that this Edict be communicated to the Hong Merchants, that they enjoin it upon the Chief Wit misToN), and the others, to yield obedience thereto. Do not oppose. • " (A Special Edict.) Tavu Kwang, 2d year, Ist moon, 29th day." (Feb - . 20, 1822.) CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. The Courier this afternoon asserts, that there are no grounds for disbelieving the sincerity of Turkey ; and that the Provin ces have been evacuated. The latest advices in the City are at variance with this information ; and it is not improbable, that, before a few days pass, the Courier may take credit to it self for communicating intelligence of a very different na ture. In England the Greeks have no enemies, excepting a few Gentlemen who have become so from private interest. —These Gentlemen, ever ready to dwell on any of the faults of the Greeks, do not reflect that Turkish barbarity, the sway of tyrants, and the vitiating qualities of misrule, have reduced the sons of heroes and of philosophers to the deplora ble condition in which modern Greece now exists;—they do not consider that the followers of the doctrines of Mahomet arc sensualists from principle, and compelled to remain ignorant from their system of religion ; they do not calculate on the rapid progress which civilization would make in the highest gifted portion of the earth, under the benign influence of freedom of opinion. They do not bring into their calculations the fact, that during nearly five hundred years Europe has been cursed with the presence of the Ottomans, and has not received from them one solitary improvement. They do not recal to their memories that cruelty, barbarism, and crime have attended their victories, and blasted the cultivated fields over which they passed, and still less do they permit their minds to antici pate the immense advantages which would result to human nature were liberty successfully to raise her hcad in European Turkey, and civilization and knowledge to extend them selves amongst her inhabitants. British subjects would not in this event tremble for their safety at Constantinople, inno cent hostages would not be basely murdered, the arts would again revive, and commerce, the great friend of man, would ex tend her blessed influence amongst the human race. Many Gentlemen in the city think that Turkish ignorance and pride will yet produce that crisis in the affairs of man which must be followed by extended happiness and comfort to the civilized portion of the Universe. The Consols for the July account opened this morning at 81i, and continued dull but steady. At one time they fell to 81i, but afterwards regained the opening price. Before the market closed, however, the price was only 81a 1. In Foreign Securities, the scarcity of money has created a great flatness, and scarcely a transaction has been effected in them.

GRAND ENTERTAINMENT, BROMPTON PARK.—Yester day a most elegant entertainment was given to the Nobility and Gentry by Mr. Greenwood, of the firm of Cox and Greenwood, in his spacious park at Brompton, to which the chief of the No bility and Gentry in London were invited, and honoured with their attendance.—The entertainment was in the share of a public breakfast, and the park, which is extremely capacious and beautiful, was in every respect calculated to excite admira tion. Marquees, &c. were erected on the green for the accom modation of the numerous visitors, and tables of Immense size were arranged around the place, bearing delicacies, wines, and every refreshment that the season could produce ; the orna mental decorations on the tables gave the scene an appearance of the most interesting description. The company began to assemble at an early period of the day, and in a short time the town of Brompton was so completely thron g ed by N o bl emen and Gentlemen's carriages, that it was rendered almost im passable. We noticed particularly amongst the company his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, the Duke and Duchess of Rutland, Duke and Duchess of Wellington, Lords Sid mouth Londonderry, Archibald H a milt on , Lord and Lady Harrold, Lady Beauclerc, L a dy D onega l, Lady Je'sey, Count and Countess Lieven, and numerous others of distinction, amounting in the whole to upwards of 1000 individuals, most of whom were Ladies. Two military bands were in attendance, and stationed at each side of the Park, and during the day re lieved each other by playing several pieces of modern music, to the amusement of the assemblage while at breakfast.— In the centre of the Park a temporary erection was made for dancing, which was kept up with gr e a t s pi r it. W a l tz i ng , quadrilles, and country dances were the order of the day. Lady Vane Stewart led off the first quadrille with Lord Brudenell. The company continued enjoying themselves until dusk, when they began to separate, highly gratified with the entertainment. ALMACK'S GRAND BALL, on Wednesday last, was decid edly the most brilliant of the season. The Lady of the Russian Ambassador displayed a profusion of diamonds, and particu larly a cestus of brilliants, excelling in beauty those displayed by the young Duchess of Richmond, and the Marchioness of Conyngham. The dresses were more than usually splendid. The dancing commenced at half-past eleven, and ended at four. Upwards of five hundred were in the circle. BALL AT WooLwzcx.—The Ball given by the Officers of the Royal Artillery at Woolwich, on Tuesday last, was most numerously and fashionably attended.—Upwards of 600 Guests were entertained in the noble mess room of the regiment and anti-rooms adjoining. —A fter partaking of an elegant supper, the dancers again resumed their festive employment, and the Com pany did not separate until Phcebus's bright ray had long warned them in vain. The Duke of Grafton entertained a distinguished party at dinner yesterday at his house in Clarges-street. The Marchioness of Waterford will give a juvenile ball this evening at her house in Mansfield-street. Viscount Hampden had a dinner party yesterday at his house in Green-street, Grosvenor-square. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LlFE.—Vesterday was married by special licence, at the New Church , Marylebone (by the Rev. Augustus Asgill Colville), J A M ES HULLER EAST, Esq. only son of Sir EDWARD HYDE EAST, lately Chief Justice at Cal cutta, to Miss CAROLINE ELIZA LEIGH, second daughter of JAMES HENRY LEIGH, Esq. of Stoneleigh Abbey, in the County of Warwick. After the ceremony the happy pair pro ceeded to Minchentlen House, the seat of their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Buckingham-and Chandos. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON-BRIDGE —On Wednesday afternoon, at low water, the Surveyors appointed by the City surveyed the depth of the River from the present Bridge to Old Swan Stairs, between which two places, and 170 feet from the present Bridge, the contemplated structure will be erected. They ex tended a rope across the whole of the River at Old Swan Stairs, and another from the point of one of the starlings of the centre arch to the point of the other starling; a third rope was fas tened to the middle of each of the two first ropes, and was di vided into a scale, having every twelve feet made conspicuous by a piece of red cloth. The Surveyors measured the depth of water in the centre of the River, from the commencement of the rope at Old Swan Stairs to the point of the starlings of the centre arch, and back again. The following is a correct state ment of the depth of the River at low water-mark : _ Ft. In.

Sir ANDREW HALIDAY, who attended the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE on their last tour into Germany, and who had prepared to accompany them on their meditated ex cursion into that country, has had the misfortune to break his leg, and is at present with their Royal Highnesses at Walmer Castle. A young Scotch Physician has been in consequence appointed in his stead. The Royal Party go from Walmer to Antwerp, and from thence up the Rhine to Frankfort. They intend to continue some time with the Princess ELIZABETH of HESSE HOMBURG, and afterwards go to Stutgart, to remain during the Winter with the Queen Dowager of WUR. TEMBURG. As the soi.disant Princess of CUMBERLAND was about to proceed to Doctors' Commons on Wed nesday, to be present at the decision of Sir JOHN NICIIOLL on his late MAJESTY'S Will, she was removed, by a writ of Habeas Corpus, to the King's Bench, in the rules of which she is now placed. The Hon. Sir EDWARD PAGET and Lady HAR RIET arrived at Ceylon on the Ist of February, on board the Glasgow frigate ; and on the fol lowing morning Lady HARRIET was safely deli vered of a daughter. POETRY. THE LION WORN WITH AGE. Worn out, an . d,in a dying way, A venerable Lion lay : The Boar came on with iankling tooth, For some offence receiv'd in youth ;, The Bull then ventur'd' With his horn, To gore him for an ancient' scorn ; The sorry Ass, 0 ! last disgrace ! Approach'd and kick'd him in the fate : Then he expiring—" 'tis severe,• An insult from the brave to bear; But, Wretoh ! when spurn'd by thee I lie, High time it is indeed to die !" When fate and fortune cease to smile, Prepare for insults from the vile. ",,,* As The Morning Chronicle of this day has thought proper to apply a fable to Mr. CREEVEY'S attack upon Lord SIDMOUTH, which the Earl Of LONDONDERRY termed " the most disgusting and disgraccfnl speech ever uttered within the walls of an English Parliament," and which; to speak of it in the mildest terms, was lame and impotent," we beg leave to insert the foregoing fable, as much more suitable and appro priate. THE THEATRES. KING'S THEATRE.—The comic Qpera of Don Giovanni was performed at this Theatre last night, for the benefit of Madame RONZI DE BEGNIS, one of the most beautiful women, and one of the most interesting actresses, that has ever appeared on the Stage. She supported the _part of Donna Anna with feeling and elegance, and excited universal applause. CINTI was the Donna Elvira. She is pleasing as a singer and as an actress. ZUCHELLI, who obviously improves in ease and comic power, was very spirited in Giovanni, and DE BEGNIS gave an animated sup port to Leperello. He is a scientific and agree able singer. PAUL, MERCANDOTTI and NOBLET, and indeed the whole Coq's de ballet, came zealously forward to support the accomplished actress for whose benefit the entertainments took place, in the Diverlisement and in Le Petit chaperon Rouge. Madame DE BEGNIS, 011 the conclusion of the Opera, came forward, and tes tified her gratitude with so much unaffected grace and beauty as perhaps to engage the hearts of many, and to secure the applause of all. The house was well attended, and the Duchess of KENT and a numerous host of Nobility were present. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—The theatrical ve teran, General ARNOLD, we see, is on the eve of opening his summer campaign, and he comes for ward with so powerful a host, that it is likely to be attended with triumphant success. We will mention the names of a few of his theatrical staff, in order to shew the probability of success, viz. Heroes, BARTLEY, WRENCH, EMERY, PEA RMAN, WILKINSON, I'. P. COOKE, GROVE, &C. &C.— hieroines, Miss K ELLY,MiSS CAREW, Miss PovEY, Mrs. GROVE, Madame FouLoN, Miss CL kRA FISHER, and a number of new recruits of both sexes, who have signalized their skill and prowess in other fields of action. 'Letters from France state - , that besides the devastations caused by bail and thunder-storms in many districts, the country is suffering deeply in many parts under a severe drought. A letter from Toulon, dated 17th instant, says, " The heat has been excessive here the last twelve days. The corn harvest has been entirely destroyed by extreme drought. Many proprietors will not reap the quantity of grain which they sowed. It is a real calamity f9r this country, which had lost one half of its revenue by the frost which killed the olive trees in 1820. Water begins to fail in many parts of this town : for ten months we have had no rain, and the roads are covered with peasants with mules, who go to fetch water from a great distance. The springs which sup plied the numerous fountains of this place are now less abundant, and for some time tl►e local authorities have taken measures to prevent water from being conveyed to those parts where it was not absolutely necessary. I f the drought ceases the vintage will be abundant." It is rather ex traordinary that so much apprehension should be entertained lest water should fail in a city which is placed at the confluence of two great rivers. INSTANCES OF gPANISII PATRI OTIS M.—The Commander and Officers of the 16th Regiment of the Line, stationed in Valencia, have peti tioned the Cortes that their pay may be reduced. Don Ansensio Nobot petitioned the Cortes that he might be permitted to proceed against the insurgents without fee or reward.—A silversmith at Madrid has petitioned the Cortes to be per mitted to clean all the plate used in the palace of that august body without any other reward than the honour of serving them. This worthy citizen's name is Don Placido de Martinez Saenz. FRANKFORT, JUNE 19.—Several German Go vernments are preparing to follow the example of the Grand Duchy of Baden. Already the Grand Duke of llesse has prohibited, under very rigor ous penalties, the importation, of French wines into his dominions. Letters from Vienna an nounce that the Austrian Government has adopt ed new and very rigorous measures, which change the whole system of importations. The orders given to the Officers of the Customs are contain. ed, it is said, in sealed letters which are not to be opened till a certain fixed day, on all the frontiers of Austria ; and the execution of the new laws will take place from that day. We understand that Miss BYRNE is gone to spend the summer upon the Continent, on account of her health, i which is in a very delicate state. During her engage ment n Edinburgh her musical talents were highly ap preciated, and she met with the greatest success. In Glasgow her benefit was literally a bumper ; every part of the house having overflowed before the rising of the curtain, and numbers were turned away who could not procure admission. Mits. MouNTFoitn.—This unhappy maniac, who, it will be recollected, was tried and convicted at the last Old Bailey Sessions, for the horrible murder of her female in fant child, by severing its head from its body, but it being found by the Jury that she was a lunatic at the time she com mitted the shocking deed, the Court sentenced her to be con fined in a lunatic asylum during the King's pleasure. Yester day, in pursuance to her sentence, she was conveyed from the infirmary in Newgate in a hackney coach to Bethlem Hospi tal, accompanied by two turnkeys, On her removal she ap peared quite sensible, but a few days previous the malady was so great, that she was obliged to be restrained by a strait jacket. THE ARMY. YORE, TUNE 27.—The second regimenCof Dragoon Guards mustered in full strength yesteiday, the detachments having previously arrived from their different . quarters, anif were in spected on Knavesmire by Major-General Lord Edward So merset, K.C.B. The handsome appearance of this respectable regiment, and the correctness with which they performed their evolutions, while they merited the eulogium bestowed upon them by the Inspecting General, afforded a high_ gratification to the numerous spectat o rs assembled on the occasion... At the inspection of the 7th 'Dragoon Guards .'and Scots Greys, at Houghs-end, on.

Bray, a Duinmer in the Regiment, has been committed to the County Bridewell, for one month, pursuant to the sentences of Courts- Martial held on them, for absenting themselves from parade without leave.—On Saturday last, the North Cornwall Ilussars, 375 strong, commanded by Lieut.-Col. Vivian, completed their eight days permanent-duty in St. Columb. They.are a fine body of Cornish youths, and their conduct was most orderly. The state of discipline to which they had arrived in tip short a time reflects the greatest credit on the Colonel, 04cers, and Non-Commissioned Officers of the Regiment. . Orders were issued on Saturday by his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, commanding that the Yeomanry of the North be forthwith discontinued from serving on permanent duty.—One company of the Ist Rifle Brigade, quartered in Newcastle, will leave that town on to-morrow morning for Kilmallock, where they are to be stationed.—(Dublin Correspondent, June 25.) The two troops of the 3d Light Dragoons, which marched in here on Thursday, under Lieut.-Col. Hutchins, with the Staff of the Regiment, still remain on shore, waiting for a fair wind to embark.

Johnson, 13, Louisa Hughes, 16, and Rachael Wilkinson, 17, were charged by Hall, the superintendent of the police at Vauxhall Gardens, with being _disorderly, and exercising their infamous pursuits at the grand entrance to the gardens at two o'clock that morning.—The prisoners, who were all well-look ing' girls, but very wretchedly attired, appeared ,to hesitate for a few minutes ; but atlength, apparently with the consent of the others, Wilson ac ivainted the Magistrate that herself and companions were the total support of three men and their wives and families, who lived luxuriously on the ill-gotten rrofits of their practices. Their names were, Israel Belasco, Simmonds, and Allen. These men kept three houses of ill fame—one in Gravel-lane, Wapping; another in White Hart yard, Dru• y-lane ; and the third in the neighbourhood of Vaux hall. The latter had only been instituted since the • opening of the gardens ; and, for the better administering to the pro fits of the infamous traffic, they had been removed from their haunt, up and down Catherine-street, Strand, to this new babitatio 1, where their nocturnal pursuits might be turned. to more lucrative advantage to their wicked employers, who provided them with food, lodging, and clothing -for their services. It was entirely at the discretion of their piasters, as to what public place they resorted. Sometimei they attend ed the gardLns, at other times the theatres, for which places they were attired in the most costly dresses ; at other times, they were dispatched in their dishabille, amongst the Lascars and Sailors in Wapping. Their duty was to go out every evening about twilight, and to entice as many gentlemen as they could, where one of the pro) iietors was stationed, to take the money. The prisoner Hughes said, she had only left her parents a few days before she engaged her self tol3elasco and his compani )ns. ALARMING FIRE.—Two LIVES LOST..—" Si. Coland), Cornwall, Tuesday, June' 25. 7 ,-T his morning, about one o'clock, a fire broke out in a stable belonging to the Half Moon Inn, 'in this place, kept by Mr. Lawrence, and in little more than an hour, the said Inn, with the whole Hof the furniture and stock in trade, together with the adjoining houses in possession of Mr. -.Ellis, addler, Mrs. Keam, grocer, Mr..Yelland,.baker, and Mrs. George confectioner, were .totally CO :stirred. The flames at one time.7raged with such fury as to threaten destruction to the whole town, principally owing to a scar ty of water, but as fast 'as it could be procured the fire-engine was supplied, and worked With the utmost effect, which, aided by the greatiexer tions of the inhabitants, happily prevented the further progress of the devouring element:' . Me lancholy to relate, the daughter of Mr. Lawrence, a fine girl of about 12 years of age, and maid servant, perished in the flumes ; their bodies were dug out of the ruins about six o'clock, burnt in a most shocking manner." ALARSIING Fiar.—On Tuesday, aboh'. six o'clock in the evening, the extensive stack-yard belongng to Mr. W. Minter, of Ickham, was discovered to be on fire at the back, towards the fields, which being to the windward, in a few moments communicated from stack to stack, and barn to barn, so that the whole square was a continued mass of flame; the devouring elem en t quickly communicating to an ad joining.cottage inhabited by a poor mechanic, which it ent r ly demolished, in a few minutes the workshop, dwelling-house, and outbuildings of widow Sha p, a carpenter and wheewright, became a prey to ;11: devouring element; and now the scene became awful, and the probable Lonsequences very alarming, for buta fewyardadistant, across the road, in the direction of the wind, were an extensive range of farming buildings, with large wheat and bean stacks, which continued for hours in extreme Jeopardy. A little before 7 o'clock an express arrived at Can erbury for aid ; in about 20 minutes two engines reached the scene of devastation. The at tention of the conductors was directed to allay the burning masses, which, wi6 infinite Air, they accomplished between the hours of 2 and 3 o'clock in the following morning. A very fine cow, a favourite pony, 2 greyhounds, some poultry, rabbits, &c., were burnt in the devouring element. The cries of the poor pony, while he was enveloped in flames, were of the most heart-rending de scription. The stacks consisted chiefly of seeds, straw, &c. TI e loss falls very heavy on the widow Sharp, whose house is burnt to the ground, and all the yard a mass of injured timber. 1 11s cause of the fire is involved in mystery, but suspicion attaclei - to an individual (whose name, from motives of delicacy, we for. bear to mention) who was seen near the spot where the fire corn menceil, and who is said to be deeply tinctured with insanity. ( Kent llra'cl.)
