LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, JAN. 13, 180'

We have given extracts in another column frool
the Paris Papers of Monday and the Etoile dated
Tuesday, which arrived last night. Accord°
to a private letter in these Journals from 01°
Greek Head-Quarters before PatraS, the siegli
of that fortress was vigorously pushed. Eighi
vessels sent by Admiral MIAULIS cut off I'l
communication by sea, and the blockade vigl.
strictly respected by vessels of all nations stile
its official recognition by the British lonian Uwe
vernment. Heavy cannon and mortars 11°,
been landed, and batteries were erectiot
the artillery will be served by the Foreie
Legion, and the whole of the works o'er'
under the direction of European Engineer
An army of 10,000 men, commanded ll'
ANDRE ZAINIS and CONSTANTINE BozzAl'id
covered the siege ; and the latter, having he°
of the march of two thousand Turks from

•
panto under ACHMET PACIIA to relieve PO',
went in person to meet the enemy with a cho'e4
body of troops, and totally defeated AcitiO,
who was killed in the action. The
of Patras was therefore confidently expected;
a short time, as well as the surrender of Corl,
and Motion, both which places were close;
invested by sea and land, and were in want
provisions.

Frankfort Papers to the 7th instant amt;
this morning. It is stated that the Emperor °(0
Empress of AUSTRIA. are to leave Vienna
Italy in March, and that they will pass
spring at Milan, and part of the sumtneci
Venice. The intelligence in these Journalsf
St. Petersburgh comes down to the 24th
which date the Neva continued to be frozen 0/,
The navigation of this river had remained or
het
to the 17th, a circumstance which has not "

known since 1801.

The rollowing is the only

article worth extracting :
PETERSBURGII, DEC. 24.—The Emperor has issued a
Decree to the following effect :
" Desiring to give our faithful subjects a new proof of
our wish to lighten the taxes, and to protect commerce,
manufactures, and all kinds of industry, we have thought
tit to grant (from the commencement of next year) a con-
siderable diminution of the dues paid by the several
classes of merchants, and likewise to approve the subjoined
additional regulations of the organization of the guild, and of
the trade of the other classes which more precisely determine
the rights and obligations of the commercial bodies. We are
fully convinced that our faithful subjects of those classes pro-
fiting by the favour which we grant them, will strictly confine
themselves within the bounds which these regulations assign
to each, will redouble their efforts and fulfil our dearest hopes
by contributing to the progress of commercial activity.

" Petersburg, Nov. 26. 182-1. ALEXANDER.'
The Minister for Foreign Affairs has exchanged with the
Ministers of several Foreign Powers declarations relative to
the abolition of the duty called jus detract/a. By virtue
or these declarations, which ensure in every particular a perfect
reciprocity to Russian subjects, the duty hitherto levied for
the benefit of the Imperial Treasury, on the exportation and
transfer out of the Empire, of inheritances and other property-
belonging to foreigners, is abolished in favour of the subjects of
Bavaria, Wurtemburg, France, and AI eckl enbu rg-Schw erin, and
this abolition shall have its entire effect, not only in all future
cases, but in those in which, up to the date of the signature of
the declarations, the said duties have not been actually levied.

The Allggnieine Zeitung of the 6th instant
contains an article from Trieste, which states
that since the naval action fought off Gandhi
there had been another engagement near
Rhodes, between the Greek and Turco-Egyp-

tian fleets, in which an Egyptian frigate was

burnt and several transports were captured.—
This highly favourable intelligence to the Greek
Cause was conveyed to Trieste by private letters
from Hydra of the 2d December, and subse-
quently corroborated by a vessel which arrived
in the former port on the 26th of that
Month in 21 days from Tchesme. The death of
CoLocoTaoNes son, who had again excited some
disturbances in opposition to the Greek Govern-
ment, is mentioned in this Journal. It is not cer-
tain whether be was killed in action with the
troops of the Government, or bad been after-
wards put to death by the offended authorities of
Lis country. The following is the latest intelli-
gence from Constantinople.

ODESSA, DEC. 15.

According to the letters from Constantinople of 7th Decem-
ber, it was generally reported that the Capitain Pacha, who has
at all times shewn great attachment to the Sultan, would ob-
tain an office about his person. It seemed that the Sultan en-
tertained some apprehensions, as he had ordered his Ministers
always to attend him in future in the Mosque, and had issued,
at the same time, several ordinances, to keep the common
people in awe. No servant or slave was to appear in the
streets after nine o'clock in the evening. These precautions
excited some sensation. A conference between the Reiss
Effendi and an European Minister was spoken of, which did
Rot promise any favourable result of the negociations with the
European Powers.

We cannot but again express our surprize at
the persevering obstinacy and folly of some of
the French Journals, which affect to condemn
our virtual recognition of the transatlantic Re-
Publics, and to consider it as pregnant with most
alarming events resulting from the discontent of
other Powers, and particularly Russia. If such
discontent is really felt by any of the Members
Of the HOLY ALLIANCE, it must be the conse-
quence of envy, and the want of the same oppor-
tunity of cultivating an important commercial
intercourse. They may also be mortified by
their consciousness of their comparative in-
feriority as Statesmen, viewing the prompt
and sagacious policy of the British Cabinet,
Which has so judiciously taken advantage of
a critical moment to form, and eventually to
establish, commercial and political connec-
tions of the highest national interest. As to
the positive independence of the revolted Colo-
nies, it is no longer a question. Spain and Por-
tugal must despair of ever regaining their trans-
Atlantic possessions ; and if they had as much
vigilance and wisdom as the British Government
has
shewn on this interesting and important oc-
casion, they would ere now have established ami-
cable connections with their former subjects, and
have converted them into the most friendly and
beneficial Allies. Away then with the silly com-
Plaints, imaginary alarms, and impotent portents
of the French wiseacres. Let us cultivate con-
nexions With the rising States of South America,
and, by an early acknowledgment of their inde-
Pendence, bind them to us by gratitude as well
as by national policy and commercial interest.

Ills MAJESTY arrived in town in his travelling
carriage and four, with out-riders, &c., from the

evening, and proceeded for the Mediterrancan.—Arrived the
Monarch steam-boat, from Calais, having on board his Serene
Highness the Prince E. SAPIEIIA, with the corpse of the Prin-

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.

The Deputies assembled this day at one

ing named the Commission charged to make the
report.

THE THEATRE.

COVENT-.3ltlncx.—The pleasant and interest-
ing Opera of bade and Yarieo was last night
brought forward at this Theatre. THE SPECTA-
•rott rendered this story universally known, and
the genius of the younger COT,MAN was most suc-
cessfully employed in giving it dramatic effect.
Judging a priori, it seemed hardly possible to ex-
pand the simple story into so entertaining and
pathetic a Drama. The character of Sir Christo-
pher Curly is well imagined and well sustained.
_Kirk() is rendered deeply interesting. Inkie
is also well drawn and well sustained, and
his reformation, for the sake of poetical jus-
tice, and a good finish, is judiciously con-
ceived. The other characters are agreeably
diversified, and the whole constitutes one
of the most agreeable and affecting Ope-
ras in our language. This amusing Piece
was last night well cast and highly applaud-
ed. FAR It EN's Sir Christopher• CurrN was warm,
manly, and completely characteristic. There
was a plaintive charm in Miss Taces }arico,
which reminded us of the first excellent repre-
sentative, Mrs. STEPHEN k EMBLE. COOPER en-
tered fully into the character of the " prudent
Mr. Inkle," and the simple and modest manner
in which he joined in a duet excited so much ap-
plause that it was nearly encored. FAwcr'r•r's
Trudge was as humorously effective as ever.
Indeed the Opera altogether went off with such
general spirit as roust strongly tempt the Mana-
gers to a frequent repetition. The House was
crowded, and were kept by the Pantomime till
a late hour.

THE ARTS.—The BRITISH INSTITUTION, with
the usual liberality which characterises its pro-
ceedings, in order to patronize taleuts and pro-
mote the FINE ARTS in this country, have
offered a premium to the students for the best
Picture on the subject of the Battle of the Nile.
This memorable triumph of British heroism has
been so often treated, and the subject itself is of
such a nature, as to preclude the hope of
any striking novelty. It is a proof, however.
of the patriotic feeling, as well as of the li-
berality, of the INSTITUTION, to suggest a
'subject so honourable to the naval skill
and bravery of our countrymen, particularly
of the istmoturAr. NELSON.—Air. M. SHARPE, so
well known for his humorous paintimo, and re-
cently for his Bee's wing and Black Draught, has
entered the lists on a subject so different from
the usual style of his productions, having nearly
finished a picture of the memorable battle in
question, and has displayed the variety of his ta-
lents on the interesting occasion. In the position
of the ships he was of course obliged to he histori-
cally correct ; but in his treatment of the subject
on the whole, he has given so striking, spirited,
and impressive a representation of the awful
event, as may well justify the probability of a
decision in his favour.

THE BISHOP OF KILDARE.—We are happy to
find that the statements in the Dublin Papers of
the death of this excellent Prelate are likely to
prove erroneous. A near relation of his Lord-
ship has, within these few days, received a let-
ter from him, dated Tours, in France, Dec. 31,
at which time his Lordship stated himself to be
in a much recoverd state of health.—(Morning
Paper.)
NEWPORT (ISLE OF WIGHT), JAN.
Sir LEONARD TROUHEAR WORSLAY IiOLMES,
Bart., Member of Parliament and Recorder of
the Borough of Newport, universally respected.
The inhabitants of the borough, on hearing of his
death, instantly closed their shops, which will
so remain till after his interment, to take place on
Tuesday next. His remains will be removed to
the ancient vault at Arretou, in the Island.

Yesterday the Members of the Common Coun-
cil for the ensuing year were sworn in at the
Council Chamber before the Lord Mayor, at-
tended by the Recorder and several Aldermen.
The model of the Statue of General PicnE-
GatJ represents this warrior erect, in military
costume, with a mantle negligently thrown over
his shoulders in such a manner as to leave un-
covered the upper part of the bust and the left
arm. On that side his hand presses a lily to hi,
heart. The right arm hangs down, and in the
right hand there is a palm. A lion and a dog
are at the feet of the Statue to the right and left,
as emblems of valour and fidelity. It is known
that this Statue is to be executed in bronze
by means of a subscription raised in the country
which gave birth to General PICILEGRU.—(The
Dale.) _ .

It is reported that the Bank of England has
abandoned all idea of claiming to come in as cre-
ditors under the commission against MARSH and
Co.; and that there is a fair prospect of the cre-
ditors obtaining a dividend of 15s. in the pound.
—(Morning Paper.)
The Cork Southern Reporter of Saturday says,
" The city was enlivened all this day by nu-
merous parties, with bands playing, drums beat-
ing, and colours flying, beating up for recruits,
in which, we believe, they were very successful,
though the number of idlers exceeded those who
felt the military mania."

temberg Minister at this Court after leave of ab-
sence, is arrived at Paris on his way to London,

to the Earl and Countess Harcourt. On Monday evening her
Royal Highness the Princess Augusta gave a splendid Balland Supper at her residence, Frogniore Lodge, to the principal
part of her tradespeople, and other inhabitants of Windsor and
its neighbourhood. Her Royal Highness, accompanied by
Lady M. Taylor and Miss \Vynyard, honoured the company
with her presence for nearly two hours. Quadrilles and country
dances were alternately performed, which were kept up with the
greatest spirit until a late hour, when the company separated,
delighted with die marked attention shewn them by the stay of
her Royal Highness,

CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES.
Sir George Sitwell, Bart. gave a splendid Fete, last week, at
his superb seat, on the borders of Yorkshire, in Derbyshire, in
the same princely style of munificent hospitality as in days of
yam Open house had been kept fir many days previously.
The accounts from Alnwick Castle are of a very pleasing
description. His Grace of Northumberland at no period ever
displayed the principle of Old English hospitality with more
eff,.ct than he has done this season. _ .

Powis Castle, wherein there was such magnificent doings in
the Autumn of the preceding year, has been again enlivened
by the presence of noble company. From Christmas-Eve till
Twelfth Night open house was kept.
blandilo, the seat of Lord l)ynevor, in South Wales, has
also been a scene of great gaiety.
And Chirk Castle must not be forgotten. 'the fair, amiable
owner, kept up the life and spirit of the scene on Twelfth Night.
We have already stated, that there are a table and a bed, for one
night, for all strangers, of every rank and description, who
come under the denomination of travellers.
Sir Samuel Fludyer has taken the lead in Silt:l'olk. The
worthy Baronet and his amiable daughters have had three
parties during the holidays.

SPORTING.

A FINE FOX CIIACE.

On Monday the Cottesmore hounds met at Market Overton.
There was a capital field of sportsmen, there being upwards of
200 horsemen present. The hounds threw off at Wood well
Head, and almost immediately unkennelled a fox. The hounds
ran in fine style. Reynard made first towards Teigh at a rapid
pace, from thence he made to Wymondham ; after leaving
Wymondham the fox made for Whissendine, leaving it on the
left, from thence across the Melton Mowbray anti Oakham
Road, near Somerby to Burrow Hills. In this distance it is im-
possible to convey any idea of the state of the country ; it was
with much difficulty the horsemen could keep with the hounds.
The fox dashed over Burrow Hill, skirted Thorpe Trussels, by
Twyford, over a severe country by South Croxton ; skirted
Barkly Holt, when the hounds earthed him at. Barkly Village
after a severe and capital burst of two hours and twenty minutes,
one of the best runs of the season, and very few of the sportsmen
lived to see the end of the day's sport. It was considered to be
at least 20 miles from point to point, and the extent of country
run over was not far short of 211 miles.
