THE GREEK BLOCK.IDr.

The following is an extract of a letter from the
agent to Lloyd's, in communicating un authentic
copy of the Greek decree, by which a portion of the
coasts of Turkoy is placed in is state of blockade:
SMYRNA, JVNE 27.—We think it may he important for
the Committee and general interests of Lksyd's, to receive the
copy of an authentic docun:ent promulgated by the newly orga-
nized Greek Government at C.rintlt, and of whic.ls we tratvonit
a translation herewith, by which a certain extent of Turkish
coast is declared iu a state of blockade. At the same time, it
is esaential to Mate, that as far as we are aware, the command-
ers of the British and other ships of ...ar in these parts r‘siat
the operation of this decree on their respective national mer-
chant flags, nor admit their violation under any pretext what-
ever. In consequence, littl • alarm is fi It here fur the shipping
interests, nor do the toasters of merzhant vessels decline such
voyages as are comprised in the prohibitory declaration; and it
seems of a nature to prove of no effect is respect to the mer-
chant navigation of all Powers which have a sufficient naval
naval force here for its pnaection. There is no farther public
news its this quarter except the intelligence circulated of the
fall of Napoli de Romania in the Mores, nor any sure advice'
yet of the junction of the Egyptian beet, or another squadron
(Which was on the point of leaving Constantinople), with the
Captain Pleha's force off Scio. His Majesty's ship Cambrian
is absent on a cruise and announced to be for Salonica. The
city is its the meantime perfectly quiet, sad no appearance of di s
turbance.

(CoeY.)
Translated from the Frzticb, entitled" Literal Translation of
the Manifest issued from Corinth relative to the blockade of
the Mores, &c."
The Greek nation streneounly employ all their strength in
their contest against spline,. Their rights are known and in-
disputable. They have oily in.view the downfall of injustice
by making great sacrifices, and endeavour to attain their object
without in any manner giving .unilivage to equitalde govern-
ments. Knowing how to appreciate their own rights. they can.
not fail of being sensible of their duty. To establish the first,
and determine the other, they bare had to declare their reso-
solution to live independent under their own Government; to
fulfil the sacred views of their country, they are bound to press
their enemy on all points of resistance ; and they now declare,
according to the laws of nations and of Ecrope, iu a state of
blockade all the coasts still in the power of their enemies, edl,lr
in Epirus. the Peloponuessus, Eubea of Thessaly, and esteiwii.,‘
from Epidaninum Tunisia to Salonica.
" The same prohibition is eqnelly intended for the ports of
the Isles in the Egean Sea, the Sporades, and those of Candle
still occupied by the. Turks. In consequence, all vessels, after
being duly acquainted with the present edict, either by the ad
minds, or in their name by the commanders of the independent
ships which shall enter either of the enemy's ports above men-
tinned, shall be taken and detained in virtue of the present de-
cision of the Greek Admirals, in regard to foreign flags. The
present decree shall be executed conformably to the (bite of its
reception in each port, and as the Government may become in-
structed in that respect. Communications of the same will be
given to all representatives of friendly Powers residing in the
different places under the Greek dominion.

Thorinclay afternoon last, Ilse cereniony of removing the remains
of this celebrated actor, for iuterment, took place, when the
deepest :oterest seemed to prevail in the Incases of numbers of
indiriduule of every clans, W.., assembled round the house of
the deceased, prier to the body having been brought from its
nielincholy abode to be carried to its destination. About Cirri,
o'clock a hearse, followed by live enourninz' cu whet, drove up
to lire deceased's house, in Hyde-street, Bloomsbury, and in
a short time alter the coffin, committing the body, was brought
from die house and deposited in the hearse—and it bare the
following •ii :—'• Mr. John Emery, died }sly ads,

mony. On the collie [raving been taken from the hearse, rte
mourners alighted from the carriages, and followed tire prosrs.

were already crammed, and mostogat the auditory we recognized
the features of marry ancient actors, who attended to witness
thin last ceremony performed over ilwir respected brother, and
the tears were to Ire seen trickling down their cheeks, as if it
were a member or their own ramifies that they had lost. lu
fact the whole assernirlage seemed to possess but one feeling en
the occasion, at losing a member of society who• had so fro-
(pettily tended to amuse theta, and drive sway the care of dull
moments. During the Amend prayers the members of the pro-
fession In wlritb Ire belonged, including those who were mourn-
era, were obaervrd to indulge iu the mast excessive grief, and
daring the period were employed wipin the tears from their
eyes. After the ceremony the procession moved towards the
vault, at the Holborn side of the church, where the body wet-
deposited. The crowd was so great, and particularly anxious,
that much sliffieuity .was canoed to make a passage for the pro-
cession. Oa the coffin, arc. being placed iu tha vault, the latter
part of the etre iiiii ny was read, and the scene bore this .reasest•
solemnity. At its conclusion the proerfoion relented iu Cie
same form to the house in Hyde-street, to the female part of
the deceased's family, who were indul,..iug in the most hitter
grief at parting with a husband, father, tend sincere farad, .fir
et er —until death. The multitude were so &axioms on tl.e
occasion, that after the gentlemen .forming the procession had
quitted the vault; a rush was made, and iu a moment it was
nearly filled, in order to have a view of the coils.
