end of the next Session. The Report is of consi.
datable length. It concludes with recommending
that the law proposed should not be adopted. The
Chamber was crowded to excess at an early hour,
and a great number of members inscribed their
names, thus announcing their intention to speak,
t.olne for and others against the question. The Pres.'.
skid obseived that a day should be now fixed
for opening the debate on the subject, and it
was determined that it should take place immedi-
ately after the part of the budget Meting to the

11'r regret to state that the latter mention, in • man-
ner too positive to admit of doubt, that the Ktro:
&flume:ire frigate, the Hon. Captain Pellew, has
been fired into by a large armed Greek vessel, by
*hich four men were killed and several others
wounded. The origin of this unfortunate event is
not distinctly accounted foe. The Greek vessel
Lad been fitted out at Gslazidi, and had a large
quantity of arms and ammunition on board, which
some suppose were intended for the Greeks in
the Mores, while other statements make their object
to be piracy, and that they had actually committed
drpredstions on the English commerce ill the
Archipelago. Captain Prilew is understood to have
di mended the surremler of the vessel, which w-4 an-
to reed by fitiog into the lievolationnaire. Thr Greek
vt.s..l was captured, and carried iitto Z intr. This
circumstance, we learn, combined with other evi-
cleoce of the hostile feeling of the Greekstowards the
Etiglielt, has determined Government to strengthen
our naval and military force in the 'lonian Islands.
Two sloops of war have orders to sail immediately,
as is supposed, for that destination, and seine of the
best regiments in the service will be stationed in the
island*. The inhabitants are well known to enter-
tain a strong desire to co-operate with their country-
men, the Greeks, in the attainment of freedom.
Which is the policy of Government to prevent. The
Turkv were in posoescion of Paints, or rather of the
heap of ruins to which that place had been reduced,
on the 22d of May. They had further strengthened
