TO SIR FRANCIS BURDETT.

Gloucester Lodge, June 9, 1991.
Stn,--Lordßentinck has just delivered to me the
answ‘,•r, which you havo transmitted to his Lordship through
Mr. Kinnaird, to the letter which !addressed to you onThursday.
" Lord William tkntinek's opinion (with which my own
feelings entirely coincide) satisfies me that I can have no other
reply to make to your letter than to express my acknowledgment
for the franknessand promptitude with which you have dised
any intention of personal offence.
" I have the honour to be, Slr,
" Your most obedient see eant,
(Signed) " GEO. Caxxiso."
Thus the business rests—it is a well known fact,
that among tl:c most unfortunate and debased of
their sex, a more unpardonable offence cannot be
committed than the application of the epithet
which the English language applies to those in
such a situation—the {light I lon. George Canning
seems to be equally sensitive—he clues not object
to his mother, his sisters, anti himself; being quar-
tered on the public, but he would step forward and
revenge himself on any one who should remind hint
of the fitct, by breaking at once the Law of God
and of his Country !

TRUST E, MAY 28.—Intelligence from Smyrna
states that several insurrections, which are in con-
nexion with the events in the Greek islands have
broken out against the Turks on the coast of Asia
Minor. Apprehensions are entertained for several
of the establishments at Smyrna, since there have
been, it is raid, two revolts already, and some
bloodshed in that city. Some disturbances have
also taken place in the island of Cyprus, which
hitherto has been faithful to the Turkish govern-
ment. We are assured that two offieers of great
ability direct the military operations of the Greeks
in the Morea. According to a letter from Corfu,
several English have entered the Greek ranks with
enthusiasm. The junction of the Arnauts with
the Greeks is confirmed ; the Pacha of the Morea
in consequence hoses the greatest part of his army.
MADRID, MAY 28 —An amnesty is spoken of
for those condemned on account of the revolt at
Alva, and other provinces, where the insurrection
broke out before the passing of the new law against
infractions of the constitution.

The tribunals of Saragossa have given jildgment
on the persons guilty of sedition on the 14th May,
18:20. An ecclesiastic has been sentenced to two
years' seclusion in a convent ; a labourer to death ;
and three other persons to three years in the galleys.
M. Sacurino, lieutenant of a Neapolitan vessel,
wrote to the Cortes that he had entered the port of
Barcelona with a ship of war, armed with twelve
pieces of artillery, and filled with emigrants, He
offered his vessel to the nation: The crew and its
leader offered their services to Spain,
This petition gave rise to some discussion. The
Cones declared that they had heard the sentiments
of the petitioners with satistetion,
A new troop of Guerillas :lave shewn themselves
at the gates of Espinosa. Some companies have
been sent against them.
VieNva, MAY 27.—1 t has been asserted during
several ;Lys past, that a Diplomatic Congress will
be formed in this capital, to deliberate upon the al-
fails of Turkey.
Intelligence from Lemberg, dated the 213 d May,
states:---General movements of the troops have
taken place in the Southern Provinces of the Rus-
sian empire. The regiments of the Imperial Guard
arrived at %Vitepski on the Bth and following; days.
The Polish army has also received orders to hold
itself in rea.iiness to march. It is thought its des-
tination is for the frontiers of Moldavia.

NAPLES, MAY 22.---On the 20th it t. the King
went, in grand state, to the Church Del Camino
Maggiore, to °Him thanks to the Most High, for
his happy return. The people united their prayers
to those of the Monarch ; and, with an imatiinous
Nuke, prayed licaveo to preserve the august dy.
nasty of the Bourbons.

LILLE, JUNE 3.—At a moment when all the
powers ot• the north of Ei.rope have fiirmidablis
armies on flea, and which are even unproportioned
to the population and their revenue. Fiance has
not an army which she can chew with confidence
either to her friends or to her enemies ; it i• even
doubtful whether it will be complete on the peace
establishment by the end of the year. The only
corps which have attained their full complimeqt
are, the Royal Guard, the Swiss regiments, ~irn.
ing together a total of 10,000 men, mid the legion
of the Prince of tlohenloe, composed of 2,400
men ; all the corps of the army, artillery, cavalry,
and infantry, are very far from being on the footing
fixed by the ordinances.
• Since the events of the month of August last,
many utbaTs who were in active service have been
placed on half-pay, and a great number of subal-
terns, the term of whose service was expired, have
asked their discharge. The levy of 40,000 men,
whieh is now ving on, is ihdeed to serve to fill up
the regiments, but they are young soldiers, which
it would take some time to form. In general most
of the old soldiers accustomed to make war in the
north and south of Europe, cannot accustom them-
selves to the state of repose which they enjoy ; the
militiny spirit which gave birth to so many heroic
actions subsides but slowly. The rich dotations,
the military decorations, the rapid promotions which
took place when the army was decimated every year,
all this exists no longer, and cannot return., A
garrison life appears dud to those old soldiers who
have been accustomed to traverse Europe, to treat
with all rigour of the right of conquests, and to
enrich thtinselves at the expence of the u;ofortunate
'lnhabitants. Some officers huge gone to join the
insurgclit Greeks, but the number of those is in-
onsfkrable : the y is long, their future
• piospett unceitain, and most of them are destitute
of the mcaLs lie cis.ary toga th Turkey.
AVCSBCI G, MAJ. '2B.—A part of the Sercians
are la last 111 .1110, Silile of their chiefs are at
their brad ; they are those whose lives were in
danger, and who nem to have been beheaded at
Belgrade, whither claw were invited to repair.

The fact, however, is, that there has been no hostip
lities between the Servians and the Tusks who are
stationed in the fortresses of that country.
The insurrection which was said to have broken
out in Bulgaria is of no consequence. There are
besides so many ottoman troops in that province,
thAt it would be impo►sible for the Greeks to make
the slightest Attempt. The inhabitants of a few
villages have tied into the mountains, because they
fear the vengeance of the Turks.
FROM THE BANKS 0/ TEE DANUPE, MAT 21
The Bache of the Mores has applied to the English
government of the lonian islands, complaining in
the strongest terms that ammunition of all kinds,
and even cannon, has been sent to the rebels. He
has threatened to employ the most rigorous me .
sures against the English commerce, and to mill,.
cate the property of the English in his power, katiltts
proceedings so hostile are put an end to. It is al-
firmed that the Pacha has shut a circumstantial m.-
ematat to Coastantinople.
It is in consequence of these remonstrances that
injunctions were issued, not only to the inhabitants
of the lonian islands, but to all lonians inhabiting
Turkey, not to take any part, or to favour in any
manner, any insurrection against the Ottoman
Porte ; all under threads of some penalties. It is
believed,• however, that this order will be es,..
cutest.

DARMSTADT, Jums 2.—The negmiations
establishing u commercial alliance in tie south of
Germany continue. The ministers and plenipoten.
tiaries of the states who propose to form this
lance had their seventh sitting on the 28th May.
Kair 29.—Our fair, which is now
finished, may be called a tolerably good Jilin There
were not many Greeks; but the merchants from
Brody and some Russians made large purchases of
silks and other expensive articles. The English had,
on the whole, a good flair, though some sold large
quantities of goods very cheap. The wool fair is
now begun. Fine wool, being employed in so many
articles of an expensive nature, maintains last year's
prices. The stone (.221b.) has been sold hitherto at
84 to 40 rix d, Bars. 3liudling wool is the cheapest
in proportion Coarse wool maintains its price.

Accounts from FrankfUrt to the s2d inst. state,
that according to the letters received there from tl.e
frontiers of Turkey, great exertions were beginning
to be made to finrtify the weaker points of Constan-
tinople, and that all the troops composing the gar-
rison of that capital were employed on the works.—
fhe strongest place. it is added of the Akprea, is that
of Napoli, called Malvoisin, whence tt.e wine of the
neighlsoirtaiod takes the name of Malvoisin, and it
is how besieged by a fleet, the Admiral of which is
a Greek heroine. She is called Wablina. Her
husband, who was Captain of a ves-1, was killed
some time ago by the Turks ; five of her :aims were
also massacred by the inhabitants. Among the
Greek squadron there are seven vessels, the property
of this lady. She has signified to the Turks Oat
the persons who summons them is a Grecian, and
that bile was animated with generous sentiments;
that iu case of submission, she would guarantee
to them their lives ; but if they were obstinate
in making resistance, she would put them all to the
sword l This appears to be the same Amazon of
whom we had befiire some accounts.

Papers tram New York to the 19:h ultimo, have
arrived. Advices from St. I)omingo to the cud of
April had been received at New York. Ihe presi-
dent, Buyer, is establishing hilustlf• limey in hi.;
late acquisition, the territory of his rival Christoplie,
and giving the best proof of his really possessimr
power by his magnanimity to those who oppose
him. General Itomain, one of the leaders of Car -
toplic, having been impeached by the rest of the
officers, for attempting to corrupt some of the regt.
meats, was sentenced to banishment only. The
sentence, however, gave rise to a mutiny in two of
the regiments; but it was suppressed almost im-
mediately. The ringleaders of the mutiny were
brought to trial, and found guilty; but the puttisi.-
tnent of death was inflicted on very few of them.—
An order of the day was issued, erasing the names
of those regiments titan the list of his army.
