[From Galigruniet Messenger of Wednesday.]
The King, it is said, was sonensible of his danger at the mo-
ment whet the horses of hls mange became unmanageable in con.
sequence of the firing of the gum, that he let down the windows to
ware the mischief that might hare occurred by the splinters of
in the event of the carriage being overturned. His Majesty's
is said to be owing to the presence of mind of a young poeti.
rode the fore horses, and who, finding that he was no
riga master of them, did pot attempt to check them, but merely
kaided them upon the pavenaept, and when sure that they would
him strike out on the sides, set them off at full gallop. IA a few
Minutes tits horses were breathless, and naturally slackened their
pace of themselves. Fremont, junior, who had gone out to meet the
King, upon learning that the hones of the royal carriage had run
away through fright, went full gallop to Tincitteux with orders ad.
dressed to tl.e Commander by the General Officer who preceded
the King, not to fire when his Majesty vpproacheil. In fact the
120 guns were not fired till after the King had entered Rheims.
The 'King's coachman, who displayed remarkable rongfroid during
the danger, was so deeply agitated, that he was takeu seriously ill
as soon as tie peril was over.

fought almost at the same time, are not yet kriowp. It is affirmed,
however, that the losses of the enemy are incalculable.
Redschid Puha, who was encamped at Karveuara with 12,000
men, was attacked in a dark sight by 800 Etolians. The Greeks
made dreadful caroms in the Turkish camp, which dispersed in
all directions. .
The British Consul at Prevesa positively announces the arrival of
Redschid Pacha in that city, and speaks of his defeat as of a thing
quite certain.
The affairs .of the isle of Candla remain in the same condition.
However, the advantages gained by the Greeks on the Continent,
and the desperate situation of Ibrahim Pacha, cannot fail to ame-
liorate the condition of the Greeks in that island.
Admiral ill ittlitS, with forty vessels, has succeeded in blocking
up before Suds a division of the Egyptian fleet. According to the

impossible, 'for that part of .the enemy's fleet to escape total de-
struction.

Admiral Saehtuny, with fifty vessels, is waiting off the Dania-
nelles for tht Ottoman fleet, put of which has already sailed for
Constantinople.
GRANT FOR THE EDUCATION OF PRINCE GEORGE 1:11F
CUMBERLAND.—In the debate on this grant, a wish was
expressed that the Bill should contain a clause for securing
the education of the Prince in England. In looking at the
Bill, which is just printed, we find that this object is se-
cured by the last clause, which is as follows:
" Provided always, That inasmuch as it is highly expedient that
his said Highness, Prince George Frederick Alexander Charles
Lrnest Augustus of Cumberland, should be educated within the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland ; be it therefore
enacted, That the said letters patent shall contain a Clause or Pro..
viao that the seiCAnnual Payment or Annuity shall not be payable
or paid at tbel Exchequer, for, or in respect of. or during any
period on whleie his said Highness shall not reside and be within
tips tinned poless his raid Hjghness shall be absent
from the Vatted )(Amami/ with the flames sod cones/it, in writing,
of his Majesty, his Beira at Successors."
On Thursday evening, at eight o'clock, a grand per-
formance of select pieces on the Apollouicon took place at
Flight and Robson's. The overture to Der Freisehuts.,
Weber ; Alt Grazie, Mozart • and the Bridesmaid's Song,
Der Freiscliutz, were encored. The performance con-
cluded by the overture to Figaro, by Mozart, which was
greatly applauded. The room was well tilled with very
genteel company.
Matter Burke,ta child six years of age, whose musical
talent has excited so much attention at Dublin and other
places, makes his appearance to-night, at the Haymarket
Theatre, in the character of Dr. O'Toole, in the Irish
Tutor.
Amid the attractions of the day, Lord Berwick's Pictures
at Phillips's appear to have excited great attentiqn. His
Lordship took s leading and active part in the arrangement
which transferred the celebrated Orleans Collection to this
country, and his selection contains some' of the brighter
gems of that famed Collection. The pictures now at
Phillips's are generally of the most pleasing character, and
their attraction is best proved by the numerous distinguished
visitors duriag the whole of this week: among those pre-
, sent yesterday, we noticed—
His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester, Marquises' leans-
down and Hertfbrd ; Earls Verulam, Cassillis, Roseberry, Darn-
ley, Stanhope, and Mansfield; Lords Klnglladitock,and llowden;
Stu C. Long, T. Raring, Keppel, T. Lawrence, S.c. &c.
LITERARY Haws —A friend who appears to be in the
secret, informs that Brother Jonathan ; or, Th. New Etighwukre,
a book now in the way of publication, is untlerstood to be by the
author of those extraordinary papers about Amities, American
writers, polities, manners, ate. &c. which have appeared Month
after month -for the last year in Blaawead's Magazine. If so
--and we have good reason to believe what we bear—we are jus-
tified in molting for great accuracy RIO great impartiality in this
new account of the gpiailte Yuakew, or Brut'/her 'Jostiiihdra. It is,
Indeed, high time that we knew the truth, the whole truth, and no.
thing but the truth, of this people. The papers in Blackwand have
excited and kept up an extraordinary interest, and don,-great goad
we believe ; and if the hovel be of a piece with them, we shall see
something very much out of the common way.

ASCOT HEATH RACES.

LAST DAY. FRIDAY, Junk 3.
Thew rates have.termintmed with a gond day's sport. and we
ewe it to Lord Maryborough to speak with admiration of his un-
remitted exertions is the excellent suramiernent of the Course, and
every thing connected with it that came within his jurisdiction ;
nor can we say too much in praise of Mr. Jenner. for the zeal he
displayed in the regulations of the running. Mr. Clarke, the
judge. is also entitled to commendation for•the steady and upright
manner in which his decisions have been given.
The week's sport has been very good, but the great attraction,
was the prrtence of his Majesty each day, ss there is no doubt that
the distance from town would otherwh,o have kept many away.
The gaining booths were in strong force, but we are inclined to
think the little space between the different stakes lett them rather
limited tritons of plunder; still there were many ready to jump at
the enticing baits held out. and we were more than once led to reflect
on the anomaly, that while pe.ty thieves are pounced upon with
unspatirr, rigour, these locusts are permitted to prey upon the pub-
lic with impunity. The pickpockets have been pret:y numerous,
but have in mom moaners been frustrated by the vigilance of the
Police. Two were taken this morning, and sent to Reading gaol.
Heady sod another officer had the honour this morning of
amusing his Royal Highness the Date of lark, by taking him
down the Course, and pointing out to his Royal Highness's notice
the most noted thieves.
The company to-day was less numerous than on either of the
preceding ones, but we could sot expect otherwise, particularly
what the unfavourable appearance of the morning waabonsiderell.
The rain, however, kept off till after the second race, when a sharp
'bower drove the company helter-skelter to the booths.
ALS qt aner before two o'clock, ids loieszavr arrived on the
lisash, up the Straight Course, preceded by Lord Miryborough,
sad itteuded as before. On his arrival at the Grand Stand hE wan

jolty luolthl remarkably men. And has every day. expressed the un-
feigned pleasure he has experienced.

stars before they got or. Thirteen hones starting at the same time
has seldom been seen to keep so complete a time us them did, or lie
better together, with • the exception of Frogmore, who made run-
ning from about half way ; be was then headed by Spermaceti a
little; in this way they kept to the distance post, when Spermaceti,
after an admirable race, let loose, and woo by two lengths. Robin-
son rode the winner, and R. Boyce, Frogntore.
