An insurreEtion has broken out in -the Island of Cephalonia. This intelligence was brought to Venice by a Vessel which arrived there •after a. week's passage. The following ate the details of this event The,Gcrvernment of Lipstiri, a 'town in the Island of Cephalonia, had issued an_ order prohi, biting the peasants from coining armed into the town. Four peasants, however, of the neighbour_ ing villages came in aimed in defiance of ,ttis order, 'The Commander of the Native Troops, who is named 'ThrALoo, caused them to be 'arrested and confined in the prisons of the Government. The moment the families of these four persons learnt what had happened, they_ wrote a very violent let ter to TIPALDO, ordering him to apply to the Go vernment for their enlargement, and threatening at the same time to come into the place in a nume rous body, to set them at liberty by force, and to destroy him. M. TIPALDO sent the letter to the Government, which caused two out of the four pri soners to be instantly shot. , The peasants of the adjoining' villages on hearing of this event, as sembled to the number of 4.000, and advanced to_ wards the town. TIiALDO marched to meet them with a few 'Troops, and two Field-pieces. The in surgents attacked the party, and took the two field-pieces, and the Commander TiPA too. — Thirty of the soldiers who had shut themselves up in a house, became a prey to.,the flames. TIPAL DO'S head was cut off, and his body being divided into four portions, one was sent to each of the families of the four prisoners ; .by whom his Mangled limbs were adually roasted, and given to the dogs. At the time these accounts came away, the whole Island was in a state of insurredion, of which it was. impossible to anticipate th. conse quences." v. The Russians having evacuated Corfu, \Tv`ntch the Turks had left some time before, the inha bitants met together, and established a kind of Didatorship, assisted 'by a Council, consisting of Deputies from all. the States, and all the Distri4s of fhe Town and Country. On the teth of July ap peared ofF the Island a Turkish Squadron of six Frigates. The Commander signified his intention to land. The Chief of the Government replied, that he i.vas at liberty' to do so, but on condition that his attendants should be few, and that both he and they should come ashore unarmed. At the same time, supplies of any kind which he might re quire were offered to him. The Turkish Squa drop soon sailed, and every thing is quiet hi that Island. The Special Tribunal of the Eure, after nine days deliberation, has passed sentence of death on eight Brigands, who exercised their depredations for four years in the vicinity of Andelys. Their immediate Qhief was . DESPARS D'AUXBOURG, a natural son of one of the family of that name. The President had to pronounce sentence amidst the hisses and hootings of those Brigands, who' attempt ed to intimidate the Judges by cries of " down with the villainous Members of the Revolutionary Tribanal,l _Lang, live the King! Farewell, friends Long live the King I" They suffered on the same day, and continue& with their last breath to utter imprecations against the Judges, and to exclaim, Long live the King !" . 4 LEGHORN, SEPT. 24.—The besieged of Porto- Firrfjo, have attempted a sortie, which has not succeeded better than the preceding : they were repulsed with loss, and the French took zoo Pri soners.

That Which lately was sent hither from Paris has not been approved by the Legislative Commission, charged to examine it; and on theloth, Deputies it is said were dispatched to Paris, to make some remon. strances in regard to this Constitution : one of the - faults. retnarked-in it is, that too large propel ty is requited as a qualification to be elected to Public Offices. It is thought that this measure would con. fine all Deputies to a few families ; we are even as sured that persons were already selefted to occupy them.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM SHREWSBURY, . OCTOBER. 14. REJOICINGS AT HAWKSTONE. On Satutdar last there were gt'eat rejoicings at Hawkstone, the Seat of Sir RICHARD HILL, Bart. M. P. for this County-, on account of the Ratifica tion of the Preliminaries of Peace, and the late abundant Harvest. After givirT a most -elegant-and hospitable din ner to a large company of his friends at tiawk-- stone, and after having drank the Heald' of lits MAJEsiv,and all the - ROYAL FAMILY, Mr. AD DINGtos, -- Lord FUIVICESBURY, and . a lasting Peace, as also or Major Mu, (whose Birth-day it was), Sir RICHARD HILT, regaled all his numerous workmen and poor -day-labourers wit'it plenty of good Old English fare,. con s i st i ng o f severa l pie ces of fat ox beef, with pies, puddings, and Hawk_ stone ale, and expressed his wishes to see them all the next day; attending divine seNice, - both morn ing and afternoon, to testify their gratitude, and to return thanks to Goo, for the double blessing of Peace and Plenty with which a new century had begun. All the Ladies and Gentlemen then proceeded to the Octagon Tower on the Terrace, which was il luminated for their reception here they drank tea, whilst a Band of Music, with two French horns, clarinets, &c. played several loyal tunes, among which God Save the King, and Rule Britannia, had the pre-eminence. Tea was just finished, when the discharge of a cannon announced that the Grand Obelisk, which stands near the White Tower on the very summit of the Terrace, .was lighted up, and that the Fire-, works were going to be let off; which Was then done, amidst a tremendous mar of cannon, which, from the advantageous situation amongst high rocks arid woods, echoed in a most astonishing manner from all quarters ;. but the principal trans parency, which was fixed .on the very top, of the column, with the words." PEACE'' in large tele graphic letters on all the four side s , lost its effe6t by the violence of the wind, which at so great an height extinguished the torches 'as fast , as .they were lighted, and tore the transparent materials to pieces this, however, did not prevent the general effect from being truly superb. Before nine o'clock the company and most of the speftators went down to the house, the whole long front of which was brilliantly lighted up, and ex hibited a most beautiful spedaele, which was height ened by the illuminations in the neighbourhood, among Sir RICHARD'S tenants, particularly in the Village of Weston, where Hawkstone Inn, and the Citadel (the,: house of Sir RicitAa o's Steward), were eminently conspicuous ; nor must Industry - Hall, the useful School of the Rev. BRIAN HILL, be omitted—the windows of this neat .edifice were lighted up in an elegant taste, with gilt laitrel leaves behind each of the candles. In the West'Portico, in the front of Hawkstone house, between , the two middle pillars, was fixed a transparency, on which was painted a Crown, with GEo. REX, and CHAR L O TTE REGINA, under it.— Facing this Portico the music struck up again, after Which a cannon was discharged, and the whole con cluded with three huzzas, upon the word of com mand being given by Major HILL, Much commendation is due to the household ser vants of Sir Rt c HAR D H L, who planned and con_ duffed all the operations - of the day, which were begun and finished with a degree of decency and de corum which seldom prevails at such scenes of hi larity and joy, as well as with the greatest satisfac tion and gratification to all who were present.

Mr.Wrariham, stationer and pocket_book_maker, 'in Bond street s stared, that on the loth of last month the Priioner came to his shop, and repre- Sented himself to be servant to Mr. Wentworth, the Member of Parliament, obtained three valuable pocket-books. with instruments, which he pretended Were.ibr his master .to look at, and, that he 1;';' ould return with them, but never did ; 'the witness since discovered the whole story to be an imposition. Crocker, the . Constable, - who apprehended the Prisoner, produced a red morocco pocket-book with instruments, which Mr. Wranghain dechired to be one of those the Prisoner defrauded him of. It contained 271. in Ilttnk,:notes, which the Magistrate ordered .to be detained.
