VIENNA, SEPT. tB.—The following are the latest
accounts relative to Greek oflitirs which have been
received via Corfu:—

" Hostilities have ceased for some time past in
Albania and Epirus. The rumours which have been
current of the progress of Ali, and of his having
formed an army, &c. are destitute of foondation.
He has nut lett his fintress, and has lost all his cre-
dit, since it is known that he has made propositions
for an accommodation to the Turks, which were re-
jected. Prevesa remains in the possession of the
Turks. The Greeks have gained some advantages
in the Morea. Tripolliza and two torts have sur-
rendered. Patras continues to hold out with Napoli
di Romania, Coron, and other fortresses. Thessaly
has been evacuated by the Turks. All the attempts
which have been made fur the establishment of a
concentrated Greek Government, and for the dis:;o-
lution of separate authorities, have hitherto proved
int:actual."

THE KING OF ENGLAND.
The King of England left Calais on the morning
of the 26th. About five in the evening of the saute
day, the cannon of the citadel of Lisleannouneed the
approach of his Majesty to that city. The Marquis
de Jumilhac, who had arrived an hour previously,
proceeded ut the head of his staff, to the fitubourg
de la Barre, to accompany the King on his entrance.
A trivial accident procured to the inhabitants of Lisle
the pleasure of having a full View of his Alajesty.—
Near the barrier, a spring of the carriage broke,
and the postillions pulled up. The carriage of
Madame de Lamaire fidlowed that of the King ; this
lady alighted, and had the honour of ceding it to
the Monarch, who, at the invitation of the Marquis
de Jumilhac, consented to occupy it. An immense
multitude preceded his Majesty, who was welcomed
by the most animated acclamations, which he ac-
knowledged in an affixtionate manner. The King
alighted at the Hotel de I'Europe, where be received
the principal authorities. The population of the
town thronged the Rue Basses, in which the hotel
is situated. In the course of the evening the gar-
rison band played various military airs and select
symphonies under the windows of the saloon
His Majesty the King of England, having passed
the night at Lisle, left that city on the morning of
the 28th inst. for Brussels, where he would arrive
the same evening. It was expected that after having
dined with the whole Court, this Monarch would
go to the theatre, to see the opera of the Bayadcres
per i i,rmed
To the details which have already been given to
the stay of this Sovereign at Calais, we have to add,
that on drinking the first glass of wine after dinner,
at the hotel Dessin, his Majesty gave, " Gentlemen,
I drink the health of the King of France." With
his last glass he toasted " The good welcome which
I hive received in this town."

Every thing concurs to induce the belief that his
Majesty will visit neither Vienna nor Paris, as has
been rumoured.
The King of England left Lisle on the morning
of the 27th, at half past nine o'clock, after breakfast,
at which were present NINE dc la Chatre and
Jumilliac, the Prefect and the Mayor. His Majesty
took the route to Belgium. At the moment of his
departure M. de Jumilltac received a very beautiful
snuff-box ; the proprietor of the Hotel de FEuropc
a draft fir 6,000 francs ; the guard another fin 500
and the band one for 200 francs.
Srr•r. 25.—We every instant expect
his Majesty the King of England in this town.
It is said that our Sovereign, in order to give his
illustrious host, the King of England,.a high idea of
his royal munificence, and of the Itkurithing state ()I'
the Flemish school, intends to offer his Majesty 12
of the best paintings in our Saloon, in different
styles If this, which we doubt not, be true, the
present (Alined to a great King, worthy to possess

SOUTH AMERICA.

Letters dated the .28th July have been received
from Buenos Ayres, and the Ist of August from
Monte Video, on the opposite bank of the river
Plate. No accounts, it is stated, had been received
from Chili fur some months by the regular mail, the
disturbed state of the interior having long prevented
all information by that channel. A few travellers
with great difficulty ..td danger occasionally effected
the journey, but as the haste and secrecy with which

incumbrance of letters, great ignorance pro -Ailed in
Buenos Ayres regarding the situation of the i.:,
pendent cause in Peru. Better prospects appear to
await the province and surrounding territory of
Buenos Ayres, which have so long been a prey to
internal quarrels, and struggles of so many different
parties for pre-eminence. The death of Ramirez
has been a fatal blow to the cause of which he was
the leader. The accession of Salta and Tucuman to
the league, which was deemed certain, would give
increased strength and consequence; and the extir-
pation of the Montoneros, with the establishment of
a federal Government, might be expected to follow.
At Monte Video a revolution of an important na.
ture has occurred, that province having declared
itself a portion of the Brazils. An assembly of the
representatives of the people was called on the 15th
of July, to consider that step, or the alternative of
establishing an independent government. They
Chose to become a province of Brazil, but on what
terms is not distinctly stated. It is mentioned as
one indispensable condition, that 6,000 European
troops shall be maintained for their protection. We
may doubt, however, whether the united government
of Portugal and the Brazils may think the adherence
of Monte Video worth purchasing at so expensive a
rate; yet it is clear that their vicinity to the roving
tribes that have so long been the scourge of Buenos
Ayres, render a large military force indispensable,
and the province is too poor, unassisted, to support
them. Vessels had previously been sent from Rio
de Janeiro to bring off the troops from thence, but
they were disembarked as soon as the above deter-
mination was adopted, and the vessels sent back.
The military were by no means satisfied with their
detention, as it appeared to remove the prospect they
had of receiving their pay, which was no less than
23 months in arrear. On the night of the 24th of
July, therefore, they advanced, in arms, to the gates
of 'Monte Video, and demanded admission. Being
refused, they were on the point of forcing them,
when their commander, General Lecor, appeared.
The soldiers, instead of submitting to his authority,
loaded hint with reproaches, and demanded their
pay. General Lecor was only able to pacify them
by promising within one month the full payment of
all the arrears. Should he be compelled to forfeit
• his word, which the exhausted state of his military
chest and of the treasury at Monte Video rendered
extremely probable, very serious consequences were
apprehending from the resentment of the soldiery.

PARENTAL CRUELTY. The following account
of a barbarous father is extracted from the Journal
des Dehats of Thursday :
BnussEr.s, SEPT. 23.—A private letter states, than an extra-
ordinary discovery has excited much interest in the environs of
Alerbes de Chateau. A young woman shut up in a dungeon
during twelve or thirteen years by her barbarous parents, was
recently discovered by one of the hoarse police, and restore! to the
world. A potter residing in the above Commune had several
children, and one daughter named Mary, who resided at Mons;
she suddenly disappeared, and no person knew what became of
her. It was given out that she had committed suicide, and nutny
believed her dead. The police officer who made the discover,
having recently lent an attentive ear to the conversation of several
individuals, heard expressions which led him to suspect the
voting woman was still living. He spoke to the Commander of
Iris Brigade, and they held a conversation with Lambotte, which
confirmed his suspicions. An information was laid before Lieut.
, Mathieu, at Charleroy, who went himself to the place, acconipa-
nied by the Deputy Prucureur. The porter was interrogated,
and denied that his daughter was with him. He added, that he
did not know what had become of her. The officers of justice
searched the house, and they found the unfortunate girl thrust
into a dark hole, covered with a few rags, and laying upon a
handful of rotten straw. Iler state was the most miserable that
imagination could figure. Several mouldy crusts of bread were
scattered near her. This wretched victim, who enjoyed robust
health Wore her horrible sufferings, had lost the use of her
limbs. The proceedings of justice against these unnatural pa-
rents will, doubtless, throw more light upon this crime.

BUTTER TR:►DE.—TLC following is a copy of a
letter from the Secretary of the Treasury to the
Dublin Chamber of Commerce :

" 'freasury Chambers, Sept. rz. 1821.

Mognanimily.—Lord Byron, in his letter to
Bowles, says, " I hate the word magnanimity, be-
cause I have sometimes seen it applied to the grossest
of impostors by the greatest fools."
Appearances.—Lord Byron also observes, ,s

and one of the mildest persons I ever saw was
