LON DON,
TUESDAY. ()cross' 8. 1822.

German Papers to the Ist instant, arrived la't
night. Their accounts of the Greeks are, us
usual, contradictory. It is stated under the head of
Augsburg, that the cause of the Ore. ks is en-
tirely lost, while other accounts represent them in
a prosperous condition. The following are extracts :
•UOSBURG, SEPTEMBER 9.7.
According to letters ►rom Zinte, General Count
Normann had arrived there from the Mores, with
a few Germans, and the cause of the Greeks was
considered to be wholly lost. This news, which
agrees witl► the opinions prevalent et Trieste and
Vienna, make it our duty not to communicate the
two following letters from friends of the Greeks
at Trieste and Seinlin, without an express decla-
ration that we do not in the smallest degree warrant
the truth of the facts which they state. Even if
they should be well founded, they almost appear
as no more than the last convulsive agonies of an
expiring people.
" Trieste, September 17.
" We have news from Corfu to 30th August.
They say that Chourschid Parka, though lie had
the chief commend of the expedition to the Mores,
was not is person its the Peninsula, but had re-
f
monied io Theassly, and had sent thither the two
leaps of Dram Ali and Mehemet Ali. According
to Greek accounts both these corps have been
beaten. Drain Ali taken prisoner, and Mehmet
Ali killed near Argolsza, as early accounts have
reported.
()stymy' 'hes not betrayed the Greek cause.
liuteccupied thcaefiles leading to the Isthmus of
Corinth, end purposely retired into the mountains
when the Tusks @pp:lnched. According to this
he must have cut off the communication between
the Turks Se the More* and Choorschid Para.
" Almost sill the private letters agree in giving this
account ottbeAehaviour of Odysseus. Colocotroni
and Mautoundato, -the last of whom commanded
the reserve, are said, however, to have contributed
the most to give a happy turn to the affairs of the
Mores, after the entrance of the Turks, whose pro-
gress was masked by fire and sword. Colocotroni
is military Dictator, and sill have submitted to his
command. After the victorious engagements near
Argoltzs, the Turks retreated to Corinth, and the
castle of Napoli di Ilonisswa surrendered to the
Greeks on the 22.1 August; the Turks, as was
before known, not having observed the first capitu-
lation, though they- had given the Pscha's sou as a
hostage. This is at least affirmed by the Captain
of a ship from Napoli, which arrived at Corfu on
the itgsh of August. With respect to the great
Turkish fleet, which is said to be in the most de-
plorable condition, mid not to have any troops on
board, nothing was, known at Corfu, but that it had
' been lingering for a month its the vicinity of Paints.
Six•and-twenty Greek ships were watching its mo-
tion', hot on the 23d of August another Greek
fleet, stated to amount to 70 sail, was observed iu
the lonian Seas."

r' l9emlin, September 14.
" Letters of the 29th of Aognst from Serra have
arrived at Belgrade, the controls of which are fa-
vourable to the Greeks ; but the latest letters from
Conotautitiople are of ■ different import, and
do not alarm our Greekv, who think that people
there do not venture to publish any good news—
but others are of opinion that the Porte will much
sootier tell the truth than people in Europe appear
to believe."

MUNICH, SEPTFAIRR 45.
We learn the following particulars of the arrival
of our Illustrious Visitors at Tegonser :—On the
3d October the Empress of Austria will arrive
from Sal:berg at Rosenheim, and proceed to Te-
gurisee the next day. Ou the sth the Emperor
Francis, and on the 7th the Emperor Alexander,
sleep at Rosenheim, and arrive the following days
respectively at Tegurisee, where the illu•trious Ira.
sellers will remain only till the 10tH of October.

LEIPIIIC. salivating 25.
Mary sellers have slresdy arrived, thinking the
fait would begin this week; among these strangers
are some Greek merchants,,-who have bespoken.
lodgings 'for several of their countryman who are
coming. This makes it be supposed that the cause
of the Greeks is not so desperate as certain Journals
have static!, slid that the Greeks continue •
struggle which must be approved by God and man.
Tl:e fate of the Greeks continues to escite the
greatest interest here and elsewhere, and their real
or pretended defeats are listened to with a degree of
sorrow such as is adapted only to the loss of the
mot sacred professions. Mankind are every
where too much enlightened to approve of Turkish
barbarities.

The Paris Journals contain the proceedings of
the Court of Cessation upon the appeals of Colonel
CARON, lately executed at Strasburg, and also
of BERTON and his accomplices. In the case
of BERTON. the Court decided against him and
his accomplices. Ou the point ►elative to the
c.;nduct of M. Ditauta, the advocate who had
refmed to speak for lizarots, the Court decid.ti
that as the Counsel had been regularly appointed,
hie partial discharge of the duties of his office
could not be allowed to operate to nullify the
proceedings, inasmuch as the Court was in no
wad• inetrumen al to such failure of his duty. The
appeal was therefore dismissed. The Prisoners,
with the exception of JAOELIN and SAUCIE, who
are to be executed at Thouars, will sutler at
Poitiers, in the public square.
Some. of the Paris Papers slate, that the Duke of
WELLINGTON bad arrived 'at Stiergerd at ten
o'clock on the evening of the 25th last, mud had left
that place the next mo r gat eight o'clock ; that
lie had passed through Augsburg on the 27th, and
V.llll expected to arrive at Verona on the 30th.

A Lisbon Mail has arrived with Papers from
that city to the 29111 last. They state that on the
25th Lisbon was witness of a most magnificent and
impressive ceremony—the procession of the Deputa-
tion of the Cortes to present to the King the Con-
stitution of the Portuguese Mona►chy. When the
President of the Deputation addressed his Majesty,
and came to the passage where lie said the King
was at liberty to take the oath to the Constitution
or not, his Majesty interrupted him, and said, he
had already sworn to the baser, and would keep
his oath, and that he now swore to the Constitution.

The St. John Baptist, in 47 days from Per-
nambuco, has brought accounts of serious' dis-
turbances in that colony, and excessesogainst tbs
European forces and inhabitants. It brought forty
passengeri, arid more are expected with en English
vessel. It is understood that the Portuguese
Government relinquish the claim to the additional
duty of 15 per cent. on British woollen goods.
The proposition annulling the existing Gore►n-
ment of the Brazils, and recalling the Prince Royal
to Portugal, has been adopted by the Cones with
some amendments. 1

Papers brought by the Hamburgh Mail which
have arrived, state that several shocks of earth,
quake were felt on the night of the Bth last at
Carlstadt, iu Sweden, and that on the 12th there
was a dreadful storm at Aalborg, in Denmark,
during which an earthquake was felt in several
!dares. The following are extracts:—

HANOVER, SEPTEMBER 28.

will be kept this year ou Sunday, 21st October.
On the 16th of this month the village of Bor-
kern, in the district of Lemford, was almost totally
destroyed by tire. The church, the school, 137
houses. and 39 barns were destroyed. On the 18th 49

Exchange on Loudon, 10 1.32.

It is conjectured that the destination or the
Seringapatain, Redwing, and Grecian, is connected
with the present state of affairs in South America,
where, from the contending state of parties, the
British interests may require protection ; and also
with the piracies committed on our commerce in the
American and %Vest Indian seas, particularly at
Cuba, where it has been charged upon the Admi-
nistration our commerce has been abandoned to the
ruinous depredations of pirates, or the humiliating
protection of the French and American navies. The
delicacy towards Spain, in whose ports these ma-
rauders harbou►, which has been stated in extenua-
tion. cannot be ■ny longer listened to, but these
glaring offences, the existence of which brings an
opprobrium on the Administration and the country,
must be put down. It is understood the above ships
go direct to Bahia. The S er ing spat ass is fitted on
the main deck with wrought iron gun-carriages,
'nano Newer, according to the plan of Mr. Put ac.

The, combine nametons advantages, being lighter
aims those made of wood, affording much more air
sod room between deck., not to be splintered, are
,eerily taken to pieces, and stowed away below if ne.
cemaryy thus enabling spare carriages to be token to
veg. which could not be effected with the wooden
ones, are worked with two men less to a gun, and
their durability, when compared to those of elm, is
very obvious.

The William Pewn, from Philadelphia, which
arrived at Liverpool on Saturday, has brought
American Papers to the Ist of September. Thee
state that the yellow fever was making alarming
progress in New York, in which it lies extended to
the highest and healthiest part of the city. These
Patten; also contain the Proclamation of the PRE-
SIDENT, declaring the ports of the United States
open to British vessels, in consequence of the Act
of Parliament passed last Session, opening the ports
in our West India Islands and Colonies to the ves-
sels of the United States.

The Papers from Ireland, received at our Office
contain accounts of new outrage., in the list of
which the wilful deatruct•ou of property by fire
is the most prevalent. They notice a case of
two men detected near Mallow with a red hot ha
in a kettle. This is probably the invisible de-
vice for setting fire to stacks of hay and corn, which
was supposed to be some extraordinary chemical
preparation. The system of outrage is not the ouly
evil of which that part of the country has to com-
plain; it is aggravated by another of a most dia.
teasing and even Blaming character. The Free-
roan's Journal says—fi Any thing like the dearth
of snooty at present prevailing all over the counties
of Cork, Cla►e, Limerick, and Kerry, has not been
known iu those districts in the memory of the oldest
inhabitants—net even at the close of the Ame-
rican war was the pressure at all so great as it is
now. With regard to rent, is is sca:cely to be hid
under any circumstances. The tenant does not
hesitate to tell the landlord that he has it not to
pay, nor does be know when he shall be able to ren-
der any other account. His tillage when brought
to market does not realise the expense of producing
it, and his cattle when brought to the fair are sold,
after twelve months' pasturage and herding, for less
than the first cost, or driven baek to the farm to be
disposed of at a still smaller price after another in.
fervid, during which, of course, en additional charge
has been incurred."

We have good authority for stating, that it is not
the intention of Ministers to propose a property
tar, loony shape; but we understand hats Mem-
ber of the House of Commons, who stands high in
the estimation of all parties, intends to bring forward
s 'notion to that effect at a very early period is the
next Session.—(Bristol Mirror.)

Mr. LUSMINGTOW and suite embarked at Ohm
on the 41st Ult. on board his Majesty's revenue
cruiser Stet. Captain HENRY MINDS/ BEATSOII.
for.the purpose of making a !Autrey of the Custom
Houses in the north of Scotland.
We are authorised to contradict a statement that
appeared in our Paper of the Vet of September,
copied ftom a Cork Paper, " that all the Gentle-
men at the Meeting held at the Court House, Lis-
more, signed the Resolutions adopted at Louden
with respect to tithes," as the Dean aid Archdea-
con of Lismore, and other Clernanen, did not sign
he m.—( Waterford Mirror.)
Let ter, dated August 9, received from flavannah,
contain no local neer, but supply suave interesting
details of. the state of Mexico, from which quarter
there hoe been of late a a:ngular deficiency of Intel-
ligeece. According to the latest advice. from
N'era Cray, which sere of the 40th of July, the
ceremony of crooriag the new Emperor, ITMR•
BIDE, had not taken place, and some obstaths
had presented themselves which would require all
the craft of that pulitic adventurer to overcome.
The crime of maliciously setting property on
fire sprees to make lamentable progress in Wilt-
"bile. A fourth instance of 014 sort occurred ON
Wednesday mornicg. alien a fire was discovered in
the rick-yard of Mr. BALE, of Ford, about two
miles north of Salisbury, and though an alarm was
immediately spread, and assistance soon procured,
SO quarters of barley, 20 quarters of vetches/, mid
about 100 tons of hay were destroyed before the
flames could be extinguished. Fortunately, there
was very little wind at the time, or properly to the
amount of several thousand pounds must inevitably
have become a prey to the flames.—(lianipshire
elegraph.)
PLYMOUTH, OCTOBER s.—Oar advice, of the
pilchard fishery from Mount's Buy, are ep to the
morning of Thursday last, and we have great
pleasure in annouucing, although far the last three
weeks 110 fish have been taken by the aeons, and re y
few sesniera remain in pay, that an immense bocy
of pilchards made their appearance in St. lye's Bay
on Wednesday last, viteuding to the westward, when
two scans were goaded to enclose fish towards eve:l-
ing ; one is supposed to have taken from 200 to 230
hogsheads; the quantity caught by the other was
uiiknowa when the post left St. lye., at eight
o'clock. 'tee seen-owners, whom groeral had cot-
ridered the reason at an cud, will now, io all proba-
bility, get many of their scans afloat, and keel)
them manned so long os the weather may continue
moderate. From the direction the fish were ob-
served to take, it is confidently expected that they
will soon make the:r appearance io Mount's Bay.
