To-morrow (Sunday) there will be grand parade.
Tliz Emperor will give audience in the palace of
the Thuilleries, to the Ambassadors and Ministers
who have received their new credentials.

M dauhert, whom the Emp-ror had sent to
Constantinople. is on his return to Paris. He em-
barked at the mouth of the Danube, and ascend-
ing that river, has come by the way of Yassi and
Bucharest. The troubles in Romelia render the
dire& road extremely dangerous. The petty Pachas
infest the whole of that province; hut it appears
that the Porte has just takea 'strong measures to
subdue the spirit of revoh which prevails in'these
countries, and which is supposed to be fomented
by some European Power.

_COPISTANTIMOPLE, MAY SO.

The Russian travellers and observers increase in
the different provinces of our Fmnire. The young
Russians, who reside in our capital, do not dissemble
that they consider our country as already devolved
to th-ir nation. They make a great noise about the
success which their armies have experienced in Ar-
menia and Georgia. It appears that they have
retaken Derbent ; and even that Eriean, toe
capital of the country whose name it bears,
has fallen into their possession. Thus at the
moment when this power is at war on the eastern
confines of the Ottoman empire, on the western we
see it change the constitution of Carlo, procure itself
to be declared the prntedor of that Republic, to the
detriment of the Porte and the Allies, and send thi-
ther fresh troops, which are unnecessary for the mere
purpose of maintaining the tranquillity of a country
sn thinly peopled, too few in number to give uneasi-
ness to European Potentates; but, nevertheless, suf-
ficiently numerous to support the increasing parti-
san:, whom the community of religion causes Russia
to have in the Morca and throughout European
Turkey. It i. known, that a detachment has taken
possession of Preveza, which has much alarmed the
Pacha of Janina, who has found himsi-lf obliged to
march 1,600 men to keep the Russian detachment

en re:i.ea.
The death of Dgezzar Paella seems to have made
an agreeable sensation here.—(3fdauser.)

The remonstrance of the Elector of 13A DEN against
the violation of his territ"ry in the ca-e of toe ar-
rest of the late Duke of Evanieit, was only received
at Ratishon upon the nth last, and was to be com-
municated to the Diet on the 4d instant. The ut-
most curiosity was, of course, excit7d, to learn the
contents of this declaration, but st was generally
understood, that it was of such a nature as to ren-
der any further deliberation upon its object wholly
useless; especially as there was reason to believe
Cara the Emperor of Rvuta had concurred in it--

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

, Duni tx, im.y 11.

" An event which certainly makes a very formi-
dable Azure, vamped up and embellished as it has
been, in sense of your London Papers, was nothing
more than a trifling dispute, which took place, more
than Svc weeks since, between A few of the Galway
Militia, then quartered at Belturbet, and some yeo-
men, natives of the town. I am sorry to say, it pro-
ceeded from religious differences, and that intolerant
spirit which has generated so many evils in this
illlated country. The yeomen in the County Ca-
van, are almost exclusively Orangemen. Some
of them, elevated with liquor, threw out some
aspersions upon the Catholics of Ireland. This,
A few of t'ie Galway Militia, who are almost
all Catholics, overheard and resented. A riot
was the consequence, but happily no lives
were lost, nor any serious injury received by any in-
dividual of either party. Considering the violence
of party zeal that prevailed here a few years back,
and the extraordinary pains that have been taken to
foment it, it is astonishing that scenes of this kind
Jo not more frequently occur; and we must bestow
the highest praise upon the Earl of HAIDMICKE for
his unceasing efforts to prevent their recurrence.—
Since the year 1796, the twelfth of July has been a
gra al gala with the Orange-men, and our streets
have been annually disgraced with the drunken
or-
gies of the lower classes of them. It is with sincere
p.easure 1 am enabled to say, upon the best autbo.
rity, that Government are resolved to discounte-
nance such proceedings in future, and that the sta-
tue of King Wit. i.l A os, in College Green, instead of
being tricked dlit in all the Orange frippery of Rag
Fair (as has been the case of late years)* will remain
to-morrow, as it came from the hand of the artist,
a noble monument of that great Prince, who united
to the sincerest pity the most unbounded toleration.
Vs ithin these few weeks past, new rumours have
been .et afloat herr, and new alarms excited. It is

. •
said a new plot is on font, and a new insurreßion
hatching; that on Wednesday night last, a Ficr.ch
privateer came into the Bay, remained in it cluing
the night, and sailed the nest morning ; ti.at several
expatriated Irishmen have returned, and are now
traversing the country, as emissaries from DONA.
; that within the last ten days, more
than twenty thousand persons have come in.°
the Liberty, &c.: that these accounts ate greatly
exaggerated, I have nn doubt ; that they ate
almost wholly without foundation, is more than
probable. In fa 1, a number of labourers always
come up to Dublin at this season of the year, to as
silt in getting in the harvest in the surrounding
country. This circumstance, never, perhaps, at-
tended to in happier times, and the return of
Weiser., who was a leader of insurgents in the re-
bellion of 1798, and fur whose apprehension a re-
ward of 5001. is offered, are, it is snore than proba-
ble, the sole causes of those alarms. Government
has, however, adopted every necessary precamion
toga ad against surprise. The Conservators have
had orders to be on the alert, and the military posts
.n the Libi•rty have been doubled. In truth, the
most feminine spirit must feel secure, when we re-
Ark that xO,OOO as brave and as well-idisciplinod
men as any in Europe, could be assembled in the
awuopelis in the course of twelve hours."

PUGILISM.

FICIIT AT WAIAMIII ORLON.
Yesterday the scientific bruisers had, what may be
termed, :t grand field day. The long depending
match between two boxers of celebrity, riToom,
the fighting Jew, and Woon, the coachman, which
has occasioned-comidel able stir in the sporting cir-_
Iles, was decided. The combatants, after meeting
early in the morning at a public-house iu Vccadilly,
unpaired in a post-chaise to Welsden-green, near
Kilbourn Is, on the Edgware-road, where they
arrived exactly at half past ten o'clock. A ring had
been formed long btfore they came, but of very
small circumference, owing to the pressure of an im-
mense concoui se of persons of all descriptions, who,
apprehensive of being too late, had assembled as
early as nine o'clock. The Green uas covered Ly
people; and at least five hundred coaches, carts, and
vehicles of different kinds, were stationed in every
position that could command a view of the battle.
Belcher, Bourke, the Chichi', Litik Pear, George
Maddox, and others of the pugilistic corps, conscious
of the confined situatiOn of the scene of a&on, as
at first formed, resolutely determined to enlarge its
iimensions, accordingly exerted themselves to that
effect, and succeeded in forcing the mob back; after
which Maddox marked out the ground, and stakes
being driven, lines were affixed, which enclosed a
tolerable theatre f r the gymnastic sport. All be-

ing prepared, and the parties absent, a general de-
letion appeared to prevail, lest the fight should not
take place; but the arrival of the post-chais-,
with the contending heroes for pugilistic tame,
disticiled the gloom, and they were led into the
sing amidst the shouts of the multitude. Wood
threw. up his hat in the air as he approached
to meet his antagonist ; the Jew was silent, and con-
deSed himself orderly. Wood's second was
George Maddox, and Paddington Jones was his
bottle. holder. The Jew's second was Wilson, alias
Williams, a hatter, and Isaacs a Jew, bottle holder.
The fight then commenced : Wood had the advar.-
age, and evinced much more altility tn his ad-
versary, his spatting was considered etc... Dent ; he
threw out well ditched blows with the greases
effect. and knocked the Jew down at almost every
round, during the first seven About this time the
strength of Wood was observed to fail ; a circum-
stance which bad been anticipated by those who
betted on the Jew, on account of :hegrear difference
in point of age between the combatants, Wood being
upwards of 44, and the Jew a fine young man, five
feet nine inches high. about twenty-four years old.
It is not to be mach wondered at, if, under .such
circumstances, Wood's strength yielded to the vi.
gour and youth of his adversary, who was, is every
other respect. inferior to the coachman. The fight,
however, continued with great spirit; and plaudits,
which echoed front the surrounding hills, encourag-
ed Wood to maintain the contest. Indeed. there
appeared no want of resolution on either side; hut,
in the course of ten more rounds, Wood bec“me
kreatly the worse man, and at the last round, being
nocked down, was unable to rise within the time
allowed, being compietely out of breath. The Jew
was then declared victor, after as severe a fight AS•
any in the annals of bating, and in which much
skill and courage were ealtibtted. They fought up-
wards of thirty roendt. and the contest lasted ex-
actly fifty minutes. The purse of fifty guineas, nut
of which ten guineas went to the loser, was then
given to the conqueror, who immediately went off to
the Cock at Kilburn. Wood, though obliged to
resign for want of breath, did not thew mugs) hard
beating. a slight cut over his eye was all that bore
evidence of the coldest ; the Jew, on the contrary.
was dreadfully disfigured. At the second round,
his right eye was closed, and his head and neck were
shockingly bruised at the end of the fight. No
sooner had this fight terminated, than another match
was made between the seconds, Maddox and W
il-
hams, for twenty guineas, subscribed by Mr. Mel-
lish, and another sporting are:Rieman. but, just as the
parties were setting to, blacroanut, 'Carp meal, and
two other Police officers belonging to Bow-street,
entered, and dispersed the populace, who retired
without making any disturbance.
The Israelites, who might be said to consist of all
Duke's-place, and the Jews in the Metropolis, ex-
pressed great satisfaCtion at the success of their
champion, and did not leave the ground without
carrying awajtcnnsiderable bets.
Many sporting gentlemen were in the ring during
the fight : among them we observed '•ir Tis urns
Apreece, Sir John Lade, Mr. Mellish, and Mr.
Buxton.

On Saturday, the third Regiment of Fast India
Volunteers, under the command of Colonel Ito-
Scars, marched to Mitigate, for the purpose of
firing with ball cartridge. A private, in returning
his ramrod prior to the discharge of his piece, had
the misfortune to teceire the ball in his hand. It
was found necessall, 'to have recourse to amputation
immediately, and the operation was performed by
the StlTKeofl un the dram-head, who cut off the two
middle hngers. The Colonel gave dire:lions that
every attention should be paid to the man, and we
are happy to hear that nu fatal cunsoquence is likely
to attend this accident.

wind, in the Gulph of Lyons.
