LONDO:.7, MONDAY, JULY C.
Three o'clock, p.m.
The Purii papers of Friday have just arrived.
The Greek army, so far from being dispersed, is re-
ported to be in finee, as Ypsilanti is said to have
under his command 20,000 men.—The French
C!aamber of Deputies. on Thursday last, was engaged
la a discussion on the proposition of the grant for
the maintenance of the naval forces, which led to
some observations upon the practices and policy of
France with respect to the Slave Trade. General
Foy inquired whether " the ships destined to re-
volt the felonious and detestable traffic in slaves
had discharged the duty assigned them in an exem-
plary manner? Europe (exclaimed the General)
says no!" M. Duvergier de Hauranne replied,
" The English Parliament has said yes." General
Foy, in continuation, observed, " It is precisely
what has passed in the English Parliament that
proves my doubts are but too true. We are guilty
of an infraction of the treaty, and thus foreigners
may justly interfere."

The horrid circumstances developed in the de
bates on the Slave Trade, in the House of Com-
mons last week, must chiil the blood with horror,
a 3 being most revolting to humanity. It is strange,
after the notoriety of such facts, that any civilized
Power should permit a continuance of this scanda-
lous traffic in !Inman flesh, to gratify the avarice of
those ‘vretelks Over whom they have controul, and
ho carry nu the trade under their flag to its eternal
disgrace, and attendant with all its concomitant
Lit. ors.

THE KING'S STAG HOUNDS.—Some time ago the
h:ng's stag hounds were sent to Brighton, under
the hope that sea-bathing might recover them from
symptoms of hydrophobia which they had shewn—
the expected improvement, however, not having
taken place, it tv:ls found necessary to destroy the
whole, consisting of 26 couples of perhaps the finest
des the world. This was done on Friday last
by die whipper-in and under huntsman. The
huntsman was so much attached to them that he
wept when their destruction was determined on, and
declared he could not assist in it.

RECORDER'S REPORT.—Saturday the Recorder
made a report to his Majesty of the prisoners under
sentence of death in Neivgate, when Charles IN'tule,
Itchert Holding, John Blakeney, Mathias George
Cephus Quested, and John ~nape, were
ordered for execution on Wednesday next. The
others were respited during his Majesty's pleasure.
Saturday evening a young lady was killed in Ox-
ford-street by the wheels of a curricle passing over
her head, which was literally crushed to pieces, and
presented a dreadthl spectacle. She was crossing
the street when the curricle drove over her.
HiMRID MURDER AT STEPNEY.-1t will be
recollected by our readers, that some days back a
gentleman, then unknown, was found in the Re-
gent's Cnnal, near Stepney, where he was suprosed

itecoant was heard of him until the day previous to
his burial, when his body and apparel were itlenti-
thAl by his brother. The utmost exertions have
been -ince used by the police of the district where
this horrid deed was committed, and at length three
men were apprehended, and taken to Shadwell
police attic:, against whom very strong suspicions
are entettuitted of their being the murderers of the
decease!! Their musics are John Enulish, a rape
maker, John Warren. and George nettling, both
well known characters to the police. They under-
went as. ~,:snlivation on Friday befiwe T. Hardwick
