SATURDAY EVENING, MAY is, 1828.

The Gazette of this Evening will contain TnE

NAVAL PROMOTIONS.

At a late hour this morning we received the
French Papers of Wednesday, with the Eloile
dated Thursday. They bring us accounts'of the
state of the Ottoman army,--as well as of the
Egyptain force under the command of Ina Alum
PACIIA, both of which are repiesented to be in
a very inefficient condition. If these accounts
are true, little doubt can be entertained as
to the final success of the Greeks. From

these Papers we learnohat our countrymen,
Major DEXHAM and Lieutenant CLAPPERTON,
returned from an Expedition into the interior of
Africa, and arrived on the 21st of March at the
Lazzaretto of Leghorn. They set out in the
beginning of May for Pisa and Florence. These
adventurous travellers have traversed countries
never before visited by any European, and have
collected important information respecting the his-
tory of the country. We subjoin a few ex-
tracts :

(From the Etale, dated Thursday, May 26.)

ST. PETEASBURGII, MAT 7.—immense orders for wheat
have been received in the ports of the Crimea.

The letters from Odessa testify the general opinion enter-
tained there that this campaign will be as disgraceful, and per-
haps even more disastrous to the Porte, than the four preceding.
Russian sailors, who have passed the months of February
and March in the port of Constantinople, where their ships
were in lading, declare, that they never saw any thing more
wretched than the crews of the Captain Pacha's fleet. They
were chiefly composed of vagabonds and beggars collected in the
streets of the capital.

CuxuArrx, MAT 18.—For these three days we have had
in our road two vessels, the Minerva and the St. Bartholomew,
which are going to perform quarantine on their return from
Alexandria.

On board the latter are two German Officers, one Hessian,
the other a Prussian, whom their declining health has obliged
to quit the service of the Viceroy of Egypt. They make a de-
plorable description of the Egyptian army, which has been re-
presented in such glorious colours in some European Journals.
The Viceroy, who is ♦ery liberal, spares no expence to have
European Officers, but he will never haVe good soldiers.
More than three quarters of his regiments are com-
posed of Negroes, who match only under the discipline
of the cudgel, and assassinate their Officers as soon as they
have an opportunity. The cowardice of these wretches is
equal to their perfidy ; as soon as they see the bayonets or the
sabres of the Greeks shine at a distance, nothing can prevent
them from taking flight. As for the Arabs, they first inquire
if there are any Arabs to be got, and if it is necessary to fight,
they desert in troops. According to what these two Colonels
say, it is impossible that the campaign in the Morea should
terminate otherwise than by some great catastrophe.

[From the Journal (k Paris of May 25.]
MILAN, MAY 16.—( Private Correspon(lence.)—The Em-
peror has frequent public audiences to which all persons are
admitted without distinction. His Majesty has already received
a great number of petitions, in some of which he had decided
on the spot, to the great satisfaction of the petitioners.

Prince Metternich seems very much engaged, and it is ob-
served that he has frequent private interviews with the French
Ambassador, and with Sir Henry Wellesley.

For some days past important changes are spoken of, which
the Emperor means to introduce in the Administration of his
Italian States. It is reported, for instance, that there are to be
Provincial Assemblies in Lombardy and Venice, as in the Ger-
man Provinces of the monarchy. An official notice on the sub-
ject is expected. A Cabinet messenger dispatched frcim Florence
has brought the news, that the Tuscan Governnacnt had re_

ceived the details of the disastzrs experienced-in the MQrea by.
the army of Ibrahim Pacha, which consisted of ia,ooo

Since writing the above, we have received the
Etcfle dated yesterday, from which we subjoin
the following articles :-
CAM PEIGNE, Max 21.—The King arrived this day at half-
past four o'clock, accompanied by the Dauphin and his Suite.
Ali the inhabitants from the different Communes' went out to
meet him : the air rung with acclamations of joy. At six
o'clock there was a dinner for the King and thirty persons.
On the 6th of June, the day on which his Majesty enters,
the city of Paris, the Municipal Corps will compliment his
Majesty on his entrance. A splendid triumphal arch will
be erected near the.barrier of St. Martin, and Te Deem will
be sung at Notre Dame ; and at night there will be grand fire-
works, and all the public places will be illuminated. In the
morning a quantity of wine will be distributed to the public. On
the 28th of this month, the Ambassadors and different Envoys
of the Foreign. Powers will depart for the Coronation.
The Emperor and Empress of Austria will leave Milan the
end of the month; they will pass a few days at Genoa with the
King of Sardinia, when it is thought they will return again to
Milan, accompanied by the King and Queen of Sardinia.

LOSS OF THE LARGE TIMBER SHIP COLUMBUS.
[Extract of a Letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Padstow,

. .
dated 2tith Alay.i
Arrived the Commerce, Vine, from Cork. Captain Vine
spoke on the- 24th instant, going into Cork, a brig front St.
dohn's, NeWfoundland,- having the crew of the Columbus on
board, which vessel foundered on her passage out."

[Extract of a Letterfromthe.Agents to Lloyd's- at Carthagena

de Columbia, dated 15th Illarith.]
" On the 10th instant thetie tribunals pronounced decision
on the cargo of the John and Ann, Critchell, of and from Lon.
don for Havanna!), brought in here last month by the Clara,
Columbian schooner. The greater part has been condemned as
Spanish property, and orders were issued this morning for the
sale of it, for the benefit of the captors. His Majesty's Consul
here has represented the case to the Government of Bogota.
Captain Critchell states, that the crew' of the privateer plua=
tiered the vessel of various articles and packages in the cabin.
Last wet-k three schooner privateers sailed from hence for the
coast of Cuba."

The Message from the KING to both Houses
of Legislature, requiring provision to be made for
the daughter of the Duchess of KENT, and the
son of the Duke of CUMBERLAND, was last night
taken into consideration. The provision asked
for is 6,0004 per annum, to each child. That to
the Duchess of KENT was carried, nem. dis. That
to the Duke of CUMBERLAND met with great
opposition, although eventually it was agreed to.
As these children stand in so near a relation to the
Crown, and in all probability one orother of them,
and; perhaps both will be called in succession to the
throne, it is proper that due care should be taken
of their education, and English principles, and
English feelings instilled into their minds. It
must be obvious too, that there are sentiments
regarding tine political connexion between the
King and his subjects, and on the rights of
those subjects (received as undeniable and current
as such in these kingdoms), which no foreign edu-
cation could confer, and which, it is of the most
vital importance, should be fixed on the minds
of these children, that they may grow with their
growth, and stengthen with their strength.—
Such sentiments as these form greater barriers
to the encroachments on the privileges of the
people, than all the securities the law and
constitution can afford, because they would pre-
vent the wish to arrive at arbitrary power.
This view renders the Education of the young
Prince GEORGE of CUMBERLAND in England,
an object of great importance. The in-
creasr of income thus given to his Royal Fa-
ther, and the pledge of the Minister that his
soe. shall be enTucated in England, unite to give
us hope he will return to his native country, and
here pursue such a line. of conduct that will
banish the recollection of former grievances, and
give a countenance to those who merely require
such conduct to justify the favourable opinions
they may hold, and wipe away that suspicion
which oft repeated changes are calulated to pro-
duce.

WI xnsoß, 31.ar 27.—Yesterday evening, at ten minutes
before eight o'clock, his M&JEST y arrived at the Royal Lodge,
in the Great Park, in his travelling carriage and four, from
Carlton Palace, attended by outriders. The King wan escorted
as far as Hounslow, and proceeded from thence to the Lodge,
attended only by his own servants. His Majesty was accom-
panied by Sir W. Knighton.
PARIS, MAY '2s.—The day before yesterday the Church of
the Sorbonne took fire, and but fur the speedy assistance of the
engines, this old building would have been destroyed. Some
members being at work on the roof, the cloth which was fixed
up to keep the wind from -the chaffing-dish, over which they
melted the lead, got loose and took fire; the flames soon caught
part of the scaffolding. The workmen did their utmost to stop
the flames, and the iremen coming up, succeeded, after two
hours' labour, in extinguishing them. Little damage has been
done, and nobody hurt. A fire broke out yesterday morning at
the house of a rag-merchanat, in the rue Froidmanteru : the
merchant, about-60 years ofage, was found still breathing, but
half burnt, and holding his key in his hand. It is said that he
possessed two houses in Paris, and that 40,000 francs were found
in flower-pots and under rage ; also 300 bottles of wine and
brandy.
Letters from Paris, received yesterday, state,
that the Marquis of HASTINGS was landed at
Nice, on his way to this country.
Letters dated the 6th April have been received
from Sierra Leone. They announce the satisfac-
tory intelligence that the troops were very
healthy, and that every thing was going on well.
The Duke'of CAMBRIDGE arrived on the 13th
instant at Emden, and on the 17th at Bremen, on
his tour to visit the districts that suffered by the
inundations.

FASIIIONABIX ARRIVALS.—Baron and Baroness Reo-
beck, Lady Caroline Beauclerk, and Mr. and Mrs. Twisleton,
from Paris; Lord and Lady Anson, at the Clarendon
Hotel, Bond-street, from their seat in Stffordshire ; Lady
Molesworth, at Gould's Hotel, Jermyn.street, from her seat in
Kent ; Chas. Mackenzie„Esq., at Holme's Hotel, Parliament..
street, from South America; H. G. Knight, Es 7., at the St.
James's Hotel, Jermyn-street, from his seat in 1 orkshire.
DRURY LANE.—The Maid of the Mill was re-
presented at this Theatre last night, for the be-
nefit of Mr. SAPIO, and a numerous and brilliant
audience evinced the respect in which his ta-
lents and character are held. Ile performed
the part of Lord Aimworth, and displayed feel-
ing in his acting, and great excellence in his
singing. We have not room for particu-
lars. The Opera was followed by a Con-
cert of vocal and instrumental music. Miss
STEPII ENS exerted herself with great effect.—
Madame SALA also appeared to great advantage
as a singer. So did Mr. A. SAN°, brother of
Mr. SAPIO. HARLEY enlivened the scene with
a comic song. The farce was Monsieur Tonson.
