EAST INDIES.

'We have been favoured with a series of Cal-
cutta Papers to the Bth March last, f.tom which
we make the following extracts :
" MADRAS, FEB. 19.—The Glasr-to has brought out orders
for the reduction of the squadron in India. By the new ar-
rangement the Admiral is ordered home, and is to be relieved
by Commodore GRANT in a frigate. Only a few brigs will be
under his command. The Commodore is not expected to ar-
rive before May. The Admiral will pursue his plan of pro-
ceeding to Bombay before he goes home. CommissionerUPT ort
is very ill, and is going to England.
" The Second Ceylon Regiment -is to be disbanded immedi-
ately. A terrible fire had broken out at Trincomalee, in which
many houses were burnt and many lost.
" The ship Catharine came in yesterday from Calcutta. The
Henry, PORCHER, has not yet come in ; she was to go into
the Cape ; so that she may not arrive for ten days to come.—
The Apollo and Belle Alliance will probably be the next ar-
rivals from London.

" The Honourable Company's chartered ship Albion is nearly
ready for sea ; but she is waiting for her consort, the Kingston,
it having been ordered that the homeward-bound ships this year
are to sail in pairs. The latter vessel may be expected every
moment, as accounts have been received of her arrival at Mad-
depollam. '

" The ship General Palmer reached St. Helena, all well, after
a run of 10 days from the Cape, on the 22d, and continued her
voyage on the 23d of October, intending to reach Portsmouth
on the 10th of December, and to start again on the 10th of the
following month.
" MOHAN.—Accounts from Ellichpore mention the surren-
der of a fort called Mohan, about 60 miles from that station, on
the Hyderbad road. The fort was occupied by a discontented
fellow of the district, and a miserable band of 200 followers,
whom he had coaxed into his pay, and by whose means he ex-
pected to resist the Aumil and the other constituted authorities.
A battalion of infantry was preparing to march against the
place, when it was given up to Sir J. GORDON and a party of
horse under his command, who had been previously sent to
summon it ; and the principal insurgent is now in safe custody."

Yesterday at the meeting of the ToWn Council, it was rep
solVed to build a church in Bellevue Crescent. No particular
plan has yet been fixed on. We understand that the Magistrates
have it in contemplation to extend the pier at Leith to the
Martell° Tower. - We also understand, that in consequence
of what appeared in our paper of Saturday last, in regard to
the prolongation of the Pier of Leith, that subject has ar-
rested the attention of the Gentlemen of Leith to such a
degree,. as seems to bid fair for an improvement of such vital
importance to the port being accomplished at a period very
little distant indeed. It will not only do great credit to the
town, but may be considered as a national work of vast value.—
(Edinburgh Courant, Sept. 12.)

The Paris Papers of Thursday• and Friday,
Madrid Journals to the 6th inst., and numerous
other Continental_ Journals, have arrived since
our last, from which we have given extracts in our

preceding columns.
The trial of General BERTON and his asso-
ciates is at length concluded. BERTON and five
others are condemned to death ; Aux- and 32
others are sentenced to various terms of impri-
sonment, and to the payment of certain fines ;
and two are acquitted.
The case of the Editors of the Constitutionnel,
the Courier Francais, the Journal du Commerce,
and the Pilots, who were accused of infidelity in
their reports of the proceedings of the Paris
Court of Assize on the late trial of the conspi-
racy of La Rochelle, was heard and decided on
Thursday last by that same Court. The conduct
of the Court on this occasion gives but a very
unfavourable idea of the administration of jus-
tice in France.

We refer to a letter from Constantinople,
among our extracts, by which it will be seen that
the statement which we published some time since,
that the United States had entered into a treaty
with the Government of Greece, is confirmed.
Our intelligence from Spain states, that the
convocation of the Extraordinary Cortes has been
determined upon, the requisite decree signed, and
the opening fixed for the 7th of October. The
Ministry continues to adopt the most energetic
measures for the suppression of the Anti-Consti-
tutionalists : the militia under arms amounts
already to 40,000 men, and in another month it
will be augmented to 00,000, composed in a
great measure of old soldiers who served in the
war of independence against the French troops.
General Eta° has been tried by a Court Martial
at Valencia, and unanimously condemned to
death. The sentence was carried into execution
on the 4th instant.

A letter from Constantinople, of the 11th of
August, confirms the important intelligence_ that
a Treaty of Alliance had been formed between
the United States of America and the Greeks.
In this letter it is stated that the American squa-
dron in the Mediterranean has been authorized,
in case of any general disaster, to save the Gre-
cian emigrants.—The Americans landed a large
quantity of arms and ammunition at Hydra, on
the 23d July '; and at the request of the Ameri-
can Commodore, the brave Greeks, who had
destroyed the vessel of the CAPSTAN PACIIA,
were presented to him, and received his congratu-
lations on their skill and bravery. It is' further

stated that Lord STRANGFORD, our Minister at
Constantinople, had betrayed some uneasiness at
the arrangement in favour of the Americans, by
which they become entitled to the possession of
a station in the Mediterranean, and had sent
agents to Tina, Syra, and Melo, to,induce the
inhabitants to prefer the protection, of England
to that of the United States. It is too late to
prevent the Americans from obtaining that ad-
vantage, to which their wise and beneficent
policy, in stretching out the hand of succour to a
brave, an oppressed, and a struggling Chris-
tian people, has so fairly and justly entitled
them. The British Government, however, may
still secure the lasting gratitude of the Greeks,
and the interests of England, by boldly and
decisively aiding them to throw off the yoke of
their tyrants.—We have always been of opinion,
that the best check upon Russia would be the
erection of an independent Greek empire upon
the ruins of the domination of the Turks.—The
desertion of the Greeks by Russia presents a
favourable opportunity for a striking manifesta-
tion of the generosity of England.

The following communication was forwarded
to the New England Coffee-house this morning,
for the information of Merchants interested in
the trade :

" Consulate of the United States,
" London, Sept. 16, 1822.
" By a decision of the French Government, under dateof
the sth instant, American vessels may enter the ports of France,
and remain with their cargoes on board until the Ist October,
when the commercial arrangement lately concludzd goes into
effect. (Signed) " THOS. ASPINWALL."

The Duke of YORK visited the KING on Sa-
turday.
The Duke of 'WELLINGTON and the JUDGE-
ADVOCATE had audiences of his MAJESTY yes-
terday.
A message from the Admiralty to Portsmouth
is conveyed in one minute and a few seconds.
The Duke of WELLINTON will this day have
an interview with Mr. Secretary CANNING, after
which his Grace is expected to set out for
Vienna.—The Marquis of ANGLESEY is spoken
of as likely to be appointed Governor General
of ludia.—( Morning Paper.)
The horses and carriages belonging to the
KING, which went to Edinburgh, will all arrive
at Carlton House in the course of this week.
Among the number is the favourite grey charger
which the KING purchased at Dalkeith, of the
riding-master belonging to the Scotch Greys.
Particular orders were given that every care
should be taken of it. Is MAJESTY rode it at
a Review, during his stay in Edinburgh.
Friday the Dove pilot-boat arrived at South-
ampton, with a female passenger, taken out of

the American brig Eclipse, of Philadelphia,
bound to lia:vre, to land her passengers, and then
to return to the Downs, to await the Ist of Oc-
tober, to land her cargo there, according to the
CommerCial Treaty lately concluded between the
two countries.

Sir %V KNIGHTON has succeeded Sir B.
BLOOMFIELD as Private Secretary and Keeper of
the Privy Purse. Mr. MARRABLE still retains

his place as Clerk of the Privy Purse, and Mr.
WATSON assistant Private Secretary. The latter
gentlei-nan was many years with the Duke of
CUMBERLAND, and has been a good deal abroad.
The Red House, lately occupied by Sir B. BLOOM-
FIELD, is to be got in readiness, it is stated, for
the reception of the family of Sir W. KNIGHTON.

CARLILE.—The agents of this incorrigible
wretch have opened another shop for the sale
of his pernicious publications. The house is in
Giltspur-street, and the works are sold by a kind
of legerdemain, the person who sells them being
concealed behind a curtain. Surely the law has
power to reach this offence and prevent the diffu-
sion of sedition,Tebellion and blasphemy I.—Un-
less some expedient is adopted, there is too much
reason to fear that the middling and lower orders
of the people will gradually lose all sense of
Loyalty and Religion. No other country in
Europe would suffer such a deplorable abuse of
the invaluable freedom of the Press.

THE THEATRE.—The success of the new Opera
of Morning, Noon, and Night, at the llaymarket
Theatre, has been progressive, and on Saturday
attracted a very numerous audience. Much,
however, is to be ascribed to the merits of the
Performers, among whom LisToN, TERRY, and
Miss PATON were of course conspicuous. The
opera was followed by the farce of The Liar,
and Mr. C. KEMBLE, for the first time, assumed
the part of young Wilding. We have often seen
the character performed, and it is but justice to
this actor to say never with more spirit. In one
respect, indeed, he was more critically correct
than most of his predecessors, for, instead of at
once exerting his inventive powers, as if his nar-
ratives came from memory, he made such signifi-
cant yet momentary pauses as obviously indicated
that he was hatching. The audience felt this
judicious peculiarity, and heartily anticipated his
" poetical prose" on every occasion. He received
great applause, and confirmed the public opinion
that, besides his other merits, he is the best getleral
actor of his day. The pretended Mrs. Wilding
stated that " she was married to him, and that
their names had been placed upon the Church
doors." This hit at the New Marriage Act excited
a general and continued burst of merriment.

The Litckfield Mercury states, that Miss STE-
PHENS, of vocal celebrity, was married last week,
to Mr. THOMAS BROADWOOD, of the firm of
BROADWOOD and Co. musical instrument makers.

ART OF PR INTlNG.—(Haartcm, Sept. 11.)—
The Senate of this city, considering that M. JACOB KoNING,
in his " Essay on the Invention of the Art of Printing," for
which, in 1816, he received the gold medal of the Academy
of Sciences, has not only confirmed by new and very satisfac-
tory arguments the opinion that the above art was invented
in this city by Lawrence Koster, likewise that the invention
may be dated from the beginning of the 15th century ; and M.
Koning having, in two letters published last year, given it aslhis
decided opinion that it may -be fixed in the year 1422, so that
the 4th century of the noble invention will happen in this
year, the Senate has thought it due to the honour of this city
to examine this point as accurately as possible, and in conse-
quence appointed a Committee to investigate the probable
epoch of the discovery ; and if the Committee should agree with
M. Koning, to give their opinion how the 400th anniversary
may be more pro_perly solemnized.—The Committee has just
presented a long Report on the first point, stating it to be their
opinion that the invention of printing by Lawrence Janszoon
Koster may be certainly stated to have taken place between the
years 1420 and 1425, and that consequently the celebration of
the fourth centenary may properly take place in the year 1823.
The Senate in its sitting of this day has approved of the Report
of the Committee, and resolved that the celebration shall ac-
cordingly take place in 182. ,
