LEGHORN, APRIL 20.—(Extract from a Greek letter;

ii]tolia and Acarnania have now also received a fixed form of I
Government. The country is included under the name of the
Western Continent of Greece (, 6tprix7; e
Qco g 11":104:c)
and the different Cantons accede as they are liberated from the
enemy. In the regulations of separate towns, nothing requires
to be changed, as they have been preserved unaltered from the
oldest times. The other parts of Greece, with the exception of
the Peloponnesus, are included under the eastern continent of
Greece (, avanXmr, zEpo'c".s' (E 20,04), and a supreme
body was formed for their administration, under the name of
the Areopagus, under the presidency of Theodorns Nigri, of
which the seat is at Salona, so far back as last Autumn.—
Thither came also the deputies from Mount Pelion, as did the
undaunted Suliots to the Continental Assembly. This assem-
bly, like that of the Peloponnesus, calls itself Gerusia (Senate),
and had Maurocordatos for President. The Islands had
brought their affairs sooner in orderi but we want accurate in-
formation respecting their political institutions. After setting
on foot Provincial Administrations, the deputies of all Greece,
so fat as it is liberated, set about uniting themselves into a
National Assenably.—( Allgemeine Zeitung, May 7.)

" BUCHAREST, APRIL 14.--(Extract from the Letter of a
German Merchant cstaWshed in that town.)—For some days
past it is considered that the continuance of peace between
Turkey and Russia is certain. Private letters, received by the
Commanders of the Ottoman troops here from Constantinople,
are unanimous on this point. Again, a courier from Galatz,
on the Danube, announces that the embargo placed on the
merchant vessels in that port had been taken off; and that the,
vessels had sailed for Odessa and Constantinople in prosecution
of their voyages.
" Eight of our Boyards of the first class received orders on
the 7th April to repair to f..;ilistria. Five Boyards of Moldavia,
among whom there is not a'single Greek, were also ordered
hither ; and, on, arriving at Silistria, the whole were directed
to proceed to Constantinople. Opinions are divided as to the
11 design of this order ;—some believe that two Hospodars will be
chosen from among them,--others suspect that the Porte wishes
to ascertain the cause of Theodore Wliclimiresko's revolt, and
the grievances of the oppressed people of Walachia ;--and
third party also think that the Porte intends to nominate Hos-
podars, but will limit their despotic power by a species of coun-
cil formed of Boyards. The twelve Boyards are to set out this
day for Constantinople.
" It is confidently asserted at the same time, that all the
Ottoman troops in the two principalities will retire on the other
side of the Danube before the end of this month. These
troops still continue to plunder and murder in our neighbour-
hood.
"An express sent by the English Legation at Constanti.
nople, which left that city on the 29th of March, arritred on the

4th inst. at the English Consul's residence in this town. Iris
despatches are quite silent respecting the popular mavernents
and warlike notes of which we had heard i'bitt, on the con-
trary, they increase our hopes of the preservation of peace."—

German Journals have arrived, but their con-
tents are of little importance.—The Leipsic fair
has been better than was expected ; and not-
withstanding the new Russian tariff had an inju-
rious effect on the fair, in driving several Poles
and Russians home without making any purchases,
yet there was a great demand for coarse cloths,
leather, linen, fine English printed calicos, cam-
bric, muslins,

New York Papers arrived this morning to the
7th April :

[ From the Commercial Advertiser of the 14th

ST. DOMING-O.—A landing was made at Samana about the
middle of February from some armed vessels fitted out at
Martinique, it is said, for reducing the Blacks : the latter re-
sisted
the attempt, when the French were compelled to re-
embark. After all had got safely on board, they bombarded
Samana, which was completely destroyed. Some lives were
lost on both sides. The invaders are said to have plundered
two plantations, and to have destroyed a village.
CIL I NA.—By an arrival at Provence we learn that the Chinese
Mandarins, on the 10th Dec. seized a large quantity of silk be-
longing to an American Gentleman, and had stopped the silk
trade. Neither the place where this said to have occurred, nor
the cause of the proceeding, are mentioned.

Mi-:xico.—Accounts have been received at Ilavanna from
Mexico to the 28th February. The Congress were installed
on 28th February —lturbide has determined on being au Em-
peror
in reality : the Congress are stated to have finally con-'
curred in the fundamental principles of this arrangement,
which, it is thought, will be of short duration. Private letters
give a most wretched picture of the condition of the inhabi-
tants,—the army is said to be composed of a small number of
naked men, who are perishing. This is, we are inclined to
think, an exaggeration.

Tl►e Irish Papers received this morning CQII,.
tahl some accounts of outrages; but neither very
numerous nor atrocious. These Papers, as well
as those received yesterday, abound with grate-
ful and joyous panegyrics on the benevolence
of the English nation, which has so munificently
stepped forward to the relief of the starving
peasantry of the sister island.

NAVIGATION BILL.—We have been favoured
with a most powerful and elaborate review of
this impolitic measure, which we shall insert in
our Paper of Monday next. It is deserving of

the most serious attention of his Majesty's Go-
vernment, and of the Agricultural, Mercantile,
and Shipping Interests ;—indeed, its effect on all
the great interests of the Nation will be so in-
jurious that we hope the measure will be
abandoned altogether.

ACcounts have been received from Odessa to
he 20th ult. with information from Constanti-

nople to the 14th. The former speak of war as
being extremely probable, but mention that there
was so great a scarcity of food among the Rus-
sian forces on the frontiers of Turkey, that it

was supposed they would be obliged to change
their quarters, as there was not more than ten
days' provisions remaining. The Capitan Paella
had quitted the Turkish capital, in order to take
the command of the squadron proceeding against
the Greeks, and which had been for some time
under preparation.
By a vessel which has had a very quick pas-
sage from St. Petersburgh, letters have been re-
ceived of the 4th instant. On this authority it

is stated that the Emperor ALEXANDER had se
out to join the armies, but the exchange on Lon.
don did not experience any decline in conse.
quence. Of the negotiations with Turkey little
is mentioned, and that, too, in so guarded a way,
that it is impossible to arrive at any conclusion
on the subject. The political relations between
Russia and Turkey, it is asserted, had undergone
no change since the last advices were written.
THE FAIR AT LEIPSIC.—An article in a Ger-
man paper, dated Leipsic, May 5, says, "Our fair has hitherto
not been so bad as we feared it would be, and there has been a
great demand for coarse cloths, leather, linen, fine English
printed calicoes, cambric muslins, &e. We hope that this will
have a favourable effect on the sale of coarse wool. According to
accounts from England, it is said that the prices of fine wool
have fallen there ; but this is considered to be rather a false
report to frighten away the holders than a real fact ; for,
in many large estates in Saxony, the wool is already sold for
two or three years to come. The •Jews that were expect-
ed have not come. The new Russian Tariff has an unfavour-
able effect on our Fair ; several Poles and Russians have in con:
sequence gone home again. The prohibitory system, which
is so injurious to commerce, gains ground more and more.
The number of booksellers at the fair is estimated at about 1501.
many of whom complain of the want of business in the course of
last year. Indigo has risen in price, on account of the failure of
the crop in the East Indies. Great complaints are made of the
want of business; but, if we consider the expensive mode of
living of many artisans, and the extravagance of servants, we
must be sensible that these complaints are not generally well-
founded."

HIS MAJESTY,

HIS MAJESTY was attended by the same suite as
on his. recent visit to Drury-Lane Theatre, and
was accompanied in the Royal Box by the Duke
of YORK, Lord CATHCART, and the usual Lords
in Waiting. The LORD CHAMBERLAIN was
not present, as he is not quite recovered from his
indisposition. A detachment of the Life-Guards
escorted his MAJESTY to the Theatre, and the

streets through which the Royal Cortege passed
were lined with spectators, who greeted the pro-
cession with loyal acclamations. The Royal
Box was superbly decorated for the occasion.—
His MAJESTY, with his usual punctuality, en-
tered the box at seve❑ o'clock exactly, and

nothing could exceed the fervid zeal with which
he was received by the audience, standing ;
continued shouts and waving of hats by the rnen,

and waving of handherchiefs by the ladies.—

MAJESTY saluted the audience with g-racious
condescension, and the Duke of YORK, who im-
mediately followed his MAJESTY, and took his
station on the left side, displayed the same re-
spectful attention, and was received with due
warmth of popular regard. The moment the
itnyal visitors appeared the curtain wa3 drawn,
up, and by all the performers " God save the
King" was immediately given, and zealously
applauded, at every stanza. It was loudly
encored, and most of the audience, and gen-
tlemen, and even ladies, who had been ad-
mitted behind the scenes, joined in the chorus.

The new play of The LA' -a of Java immediately
followed, and obviously excited in the Royal
visitors as well as in the audience every feeling

which the author intended. The admirable al-
ternation of pathetic and humorous scenes had
their due effect, and never was an audience more
fully gratified. It may naturally be supposed
that His MAJESTY, who has long been the patron

of -Mr. CormAN, commanded the play in some
degree in compliment to the author, but the
Royal taste, as well as kindness, was fully grati-
fied by a compositiond such singular and striking
merit. Mr. CO LMAN,WIIO attended in State d ressos
attached to the yeomen of the Guards, had the
pleasure of witnessing this triumph of his genius.
At the end of the play " God save the Icing"
was given again, and followed by " Rule Bri-
tannia."—The afterpiece of Cherry and Fair
Star was the concluding piece, and was received
with great applause ; at the end; the Per-
formers and a party of Ladies and Gentlemen
behind them again sung " God save the King,"
at the end of which the Royal Party retired,
amidst the warmest testimonies of affection-

ate loyalty. As his MAJESTY passed through
the antichamber to Lis box, he saw Mrs. SID..
nom, whom he immediately approached, took
her most kindly by the hand, congratulated her
on her appearance in good health, and said he saw
her with great pleasure, as she reminded him of
the delight which her talents had so often afforded
him. Mrs. SIDDONS was so forcibly impressed
with this condescending attention that her feel-
ings almost overpowered her, and she with diffi-
culty expressed the emotions which it produced,
and which, no doubt, were as strong as any that her
great and unrivalled talents had excited in the sym-
pathy of the admiring world. Mr. COLMAN, who
at times visited the green room, with his usual
prompt humour, observed that he that night ap-
peared in two characters, viz. as " Bard and
Beefeater." Some judicious arrangements were
made by the Managers, precluding all persons
from coming behind the scenes, except those
who belonged to the Theatre, or who had re-
ceived tickets of admission. There was conse-
quently not the indiscriminate crowd who had at-
tended on former occasions,but the visitors were all
select and respectable. We hardly need add that
his MAJESTY returned to his Palace in the same
State, and he bad the gratification to receive, as
he passed, the congratulations of numerous.spec-
tators who had waited in the street to witness the
returning procession. By some mistake, those
persons who were on the free list were refused
admission at the doors, contrary, we are assured,
to the order of the new Managers.

FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.
Count D'Orsay, and the Duke and Duchess of Guise, at
Nerot's Hotel, Clifford-street; the Marquis and Marchioness
of Downshire, at ditto ; the Earl and Countess Howe, at ditto;
Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Holland, at the Lincoln Hotel, Manchester-
street, from Brighton.
DEPARTURES.—Mrs. Russell and family, and Miss Thorn-
hill, from Nerot's Hotel, for Bognor; Mr. and Mrs. Tenny-
son and family, from ditto, for Bognor ; Mr. Calvert arid Mrs.
Clarke, from ditto ; Col. Younge and family, from ditto.

FASHIONABLE PARTIES.
The Marchioness of Lansdown has issued cards of invitation
for a rout on the 24th instant, at Lansdown House, Berkeley-
square.
The Honourable Lady Smith's rout yesterday evening, in
Piccadilly, was very numerously and fashionably attended.
The Duke of Devonshire gave his first grand rout for the
season, on Thursday evening, at Devonshire House. The
whole suite of apartments were thrown open, which were Mu-
minatedSvith great brilliancy. The company present exceed-
ed 300 persons of the first distinction and fashion.
Mrs. Beaumont gave an elegant ball and supper yesterday
evening at her house in Portman-square, which was attended
by upwards of 200 distinguished fashionable..

His Royal Highness the Prince of DBinutßx not having as
yet a town carriage or horses of his own, availed himself yes-
terday of that of Count Molkte, and accompanied by his Ex-
cellency visited St. Paul's Cathedral, and other public edi-
fices, and at four o'clock his Royal Highness returned to his
residence in Nirimpole-street to dinner. Hi, Majesty has been
pleased to offer carriages and servants to attend their Royal
Highnesses during their stay in London, but Isis Royal High-
ness, with the most gracious politeness, declined his Majesty's
offer, wishing to live as private as possible during his stay in
the Metropolis.

The death of the Archbishop of CAstiEL was

COURT OF KING'S BENCII.—(Tuts DAlr.

JUDGMENT UPON THE EARL OF WESTMEATH,

On Mr. Justice BAYLEY taking his seat on the•
Bench, the above Noble Defendant appeared on,
the floor of the Court to receive its_judgment,
Our Readers will recollect that this Noble De-
fendant had suffered judgment, by default, on a
criminal information filed against his Lordship.
for sending a message and challenge to fight a
duel with —.---- Woods, Esq., a trustee to Lady
Westmeath, who is the daughter of the. Mar-.
chioness of Salisbury. .

The defendant proceeded to read some pas-
sages from a paper in justification of his conduct
on the occasion, and concluded by thanking the.
Court for the kind indulgence they had allowetl
him.

Mr. Justice BAYLEY, in delivering t,he judga
ment of the Court, commented, at very great
length, on the conduct of the Noble defendant,,
in endeavouring to provoke Mr. Woods to fight
a duel, who, the Learned Judge said,, was only
acting as mediator, and was appointed by the
defendant. It became his painful duty to pro-
nounce the sentence of the Court, which was,,
that he should be imprisoned in the custody of
the Marshal of the N.Jarshalsea of this Court, for.
3 months, and at the expiration of that period,
to give security for. three years„himself
and two sureties in 5001.

Samuel Waddington was brought up fro'm the
New Prism' to plead to an indictment preferred
against him, by the Society for the Suppression of.
Vice, for publishing a blasphemous work, called

The CLERK of the Court having read the La-
dictment, called upon him to plead.

pleaded Not Guilty, and withdrew, to file an
affidavit to entitle him to mate some cibsers7atioas:

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

lIIITAACT3 FROM. THY. DAILY MOTINING P VPERS,

May 18, 1822.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
;l the Debate of last night on the West India
and American Trade Bill, several particulars
stated by Mr, Ellice furnish a very apposite
somment on the notions entertained in certain
quarters, embodied last night in a stricture on
Sir James Mackintosh, for daring to allude to the
practices of the republic of the United States,
-when condemning the Swiss Job. " Among the
ridiculous arguments used for a contrary policy
i. e. an economical policy) the most ridiculous
-was that 'which Sir James Mackintosh derived
troth the practice of his favourite Republic,
Ms ' land. of public felicity,' the United States.
it would be just as rational to bid one of our
wealthiest merchants, with untold thousands
at his daily disposal, regulate his scale of expen-
diture by that of a young and prudent trades-
man who has just commenced business, as it is to
retpire that England should tower her proud sta-
tion to the humble level of an infant Common-
wealth." Without stopping to admire the apt-
ness of this comparison, and the gratification
which it must afford us to know, -that the power
from which we suffered the most on our own pe-
culiar element is yet an infant, we would say,
caking by the comparison, that tradesmen with
narrow means are frequently seen to make rich
by prudence, while merchants with untold thou-
sands as frequently become beggars from the
want of it. Cosmo de Medici had ships on every
sea, and factors and clerks in every country ;
but his expenditure exceeded his profits, and he
dissipated his estate and stopt payment, while his
ancestors had acquired wealth because their pro-
fits exceeded their expenditure, There are in
like manner rules by the observing o► which in-
fant nations will become great nations, as others
have been occasionally given, and seem to be
familiar to our rulers, for converting a great na-
tion into a little one.

[NEW TIMES.]
We observe With pleasure the rapid progress
that is making in the subscriptions in different
parts of England to relieve the starving poor of
Ireland. These are the bonds which must at-
tach our wish brethren to us, and make us truly
an United Kingdom. The declining prices of
Irish produce, we fear, will for some time render
the state of the peasantry of that country most
pitiable. Good Irish butter, we understand,
lias fallen to 40s. a cwt. and even lower. It has
been suggested, and the measure appears to us
worth consideration at least, that a proportion of
the warehoused corn in this country might without
any injurY to cur home market be suffered to be
taken out of bend, for the express and sole
purpose of being transmitted to the Corn-
rr4ttees- in, Ireland, for relief of the ,dis-
tre•ied poor. The effect, it is contended,
would be at once to assist the aicted suf-
ferers in Ireland, and to relieve a class of
merchants in this country, who experience great
itconvenience and toss from having their funds
5.., long locked up and rendered unavailable,
Bonded Wheat it is said might be purchased for
a quarter or less, and it would produce a
:nore nutritious food than Oats or Potatoes, and
equally cheap. Of course such a plan, if adopted,
crest be under due restrictions ; but it would be
e:ziy, we apprehend, to grant permits so guarded
:::at the grain could never go to any other desti-
nation than that intended to be permitted by the
proper authorities.- If so, itcould not injuriously
..c.,.:erfe,re with the demand of the British Farmer:
Gut, on the contrary, would relieve him, so far
es it might go, from the dread of a competition
it-, ways hanging over his head, and always casting
as ac!ditional dullness over his market,

[THE I:7MES.:I
:-:ame feeling that prompted to such ac-
tive exertions, and called forth such liberal
bscriptions in favour of the distressed por-
:ion of our Irish fellow-subjects in the metro-
polis, we observe with pleasure, is fast spread-
ing over all parts of the country, and swelling
from innumerable channels the means of relief.
We might refer for evidence of this fact to the
accounts -of proceedings which reach us by
every pest from almost every considerable town
in the kingdom, Edinburgh has hod its meet-
ing, and formed its subscription : Liverpool,
,:.',Portsrhouth,.and other towns, follow the example
.?,,9f:the metropolis.. Subscriptions have been en-
tered into at Bath, Bristol, Gloucester, Shrews-
bury, Monmouth, Brecon, and other places.
Where, indeed, is the place that has been in-
active in this great Irlicur of charity

• an extremely wicked thing, every body
'nows and allows, to have given Mr. Stratford
Canning the sum of 4000'. a year, or thereabouts,
for the Embassy to the Swiss Cantons; and it is
yet incre wicked, in the presert state of the
country, to give nearly GOO/. for the first year
to a man engaged on the same service. We con-
dole with the nation on the waste of its resources
at this period of agricultural distress, if in truth
there be any agricultural distress : and with the
Swiss re condole on the mischievous example of
extravagance which must he exhibited among
them, by a man Who can spend so great an in-
come with, what they all must see, Eothing to do,.
This is a very wicked jobs,--disgraceful to ail
concerned in it--disgraceful to those who have
not opposed it to the. utmost degree of constitu-
tional opposition.—(lbid.)

fIifORNHICI uaiu.LD] . . 1
- Private accounts, countenanced by some arti- '
ties in the. French and, Spanish Papers, intimate
that there exists •Considerable irriation at pre-
ent between the French and Spanish Govern-
wents, and that a remonstrance, absolutely de-
mandingjhe retirement of the French army on
the Spanish frontier, Las been presented by
the Spanish Ambassador to the French Cabinet.
Th,l preservation of the public health was the first
pretence for this armament on the frontier. But
that has Low disappearet ; and in Spain the

opinion prevails that the design of the French
Government is to encourage, if not support,
the Spanish Insurgents. Some of the more
violent Spanish Journals go the length of
charging upon the French the fresh troubles in
some of the provinces. It is very unlikely that
the French Government has any design of ag-
gression upon Spain. The truth is, that the
latter country is in a better condition to wage
an offensive war. Even the present Administra-
tion in France would hardly venture to array the
French armies, in their temper of mind, against
such a cause as that of Spain would be. Some
foreign accounts say that in England and Russia,
as well as in France, the Spanish Government is
in bad odour—that the Spanish Ambassador
is slighted here, and that the Spanish Ambassa-
dor at the Court of St. Petersburgh demanded his
passports and departed. Under present circum-
stances, he must he very credulous indeed who
I should suspect Ministers of engaging this country
in a war for the purpose of effecting the restora-
tion of the old Spanish Government—and as to the
departure of the Spanish Ambassador from Russia,
it is in execution of a Decree of the Cortes,
which, for the purposes of economy, has reduced
the number of Diplomatic Envoys, and substi-
tuted Consuls in the places of those who have
been recalled.

[MORNING POST.]
We have been favoured with the following
extract of a letter, received yesterday from Havre
de Grace, which contains some interesting infor-
mation :—" All the merchants here are in the
greatest state of alarm, in consequence of a letter
received from St. Domingo, which states that
President Boyer has laid a general embargo on
all the French merchantmen. It is imagined that
this has been done as an act of reprisal for
an offence which is said to have been com-
mitted by Captain Jacob, the Commander of the
French squadron. It is supposed that he wished
to favour a French inhabitant of the small island
of Samanah, by conveying away his negroes, who
were become free by a law lately proclaimed by
Boyer. This letter has spread great consterna-
tion on 'Change ; but if the news should be con-
firmed, we still hope that our Government will
interfere and obtain in a short time the release of
our men, our ship, and our merchandize."

The missing American Papers came to hand
yesterday, and they contain the important Reso-
lutions of the American Congress upon the sub-
ject of the very formal motion of the Inde-
pendence yr the South American cities, viz. Ist,
" That the House of Representatives con-
cur in the opinion expressed by the Pre-
sident in his 'Message of the Bth of March, 1822,
that the American provinces of Spain which have
declared their Independence, and are in the en-
joyment of it, ought to be recognized by the
United States as Independent States."-2dly,
" That the Committee of Ways and Means be
instructed to report a Bill appropriating a sum
not exceeding 100,000 dollars, to enable the
1 President of the United States to give due effect
to such recognition."—(lbid.)

[BRITISTI PRES 3.3
The Roman Catholic Peers' Bill was read a
third time last night, and passed in the House of
Commons without a debate.

The West India and American Trade Bill
produced a long discussion last night. All par-
ties agreed in its principle. The Bill was read a
second time.—Mr. Goulburn brought in his Irish
Poor Relief Bill. A sum of 50,0001. was voted
for the purpose in a Comtnitte.e of Supply.—(ibid.)
