There is a letter in town from Gibraltar,
stating that the Algerine squadron, consisting of
five frigates, two brigs, and one corvette, had
sailed for the Archipelago, to join the Turks
against the Greeks.

Extracts from the French Papers will be

I:,l:3arope ingenersil.- It becomes daily more and more doubt-
-4:: whether the affairs of Greece will be discussed at all at
10•4.40. It is probable
.enough that they are often mentioned
114entaLly, but it is still affirmed by many present, that
441 will not be the subject of formal conferences till after
the teturzi of the Emperor Alexander to St. Petersburgh, and
11011..ortiral of Lord Stranford in that city, who has been ap-
t:Lited English Ambassador to the Russian Courts That
Strangford should be commissioned to take part in these
voriretenCes 4eeruslighly probable, as he enjoys the particular
rtillt/tleuceof the Emperor Alexander, in every thing relative to
i4e Fairs of Turley and Greece, and was chiefly instrumental
fttieinging about the arrangement between lZbssia and- the

t:
oti 4:)-0Paration of England, would be of no avail. On the

The proportion the expenditure bears to the

varies from 6 to 15 shillings per head, except in
the county of Lancaster,where it is only 45.; in
Sussex, where it is 205.; in Essex, 17s. ; in
Suffolk, 18s.; and in Kent 16s. In Wales the
variation is between 6 and 10s. The general ex-
penditure for England and Wales is 9 shillings
per head, which is 4s. less time the expenditure
of the year 1812-13. The money levied for
Poor Rate in 1822-23 was obtained by assess-

The average price of w heat for93

period was 99 shillings ; for the second, 799.
lid.; for the third, 713. 6d.; fur the last,
50s. 6d. The report concludes with the ob-
servations of the different Parish Officers,
as to the causes of the increase or decrease
of the Poor Kates iu their particular pa-
rishes. The Committee, however, do not pre-
tend to give " the causes to which is to be
ascribed the check which has been put to the
progressive diminution of the Poor .Rates, fur-
ther than by referring to an observation in
the Report of last year," viz. " The de-
" gree in which the account of the Poor Rates

" is affected by the variation of the price of
cc wheat, will be more correctly ascertained when
" the expenditure of 1823-4 is known, because
" in that year wheat rose again to an average,
" according to the legal returns of 565. 8(1%."
The average of the year 1824, and the two pre-
ceding years is however only 50s. 6d. and looking
at the amount of the average expenditure for the
third triennial period, and the average price of
wheat for the same three years, it would appear
that the price of wheat would in a very small
degree (if it did at al!) affect the Poor Rates,
because the average price of wheat for the first
triennial period was 99 shillings, and the poor
expenditure was only 6,129,8441.; and for the
third period the average price of wheat was only
71s. 6d., and the expenditure amounted to the sum
of 7,273,5351., a sum very far exceeding that of
any other period, and moreover the difference
between the expenditures of the first and last
periods as only 9,0001., whilst the difference of
the price of wheat is 48s. 6d.

SE 11 AMPORT, EAST NIB Es.—We have been
informed, from undoubted authority, that tidings have just
arrived, announcing an unexampled rise in the Ganges, which
has been attended with the most destructive consequences. The
account has been received from one of the Missionaries at
Serampore, who states that the Ganges swept away, in, that
place and its vicinity, several hundred houses, and drowned
some thousands of the inhabitants. The large Baptist Mission-
house, in which were all the printing; presses, has bean nearly
destroyed, although some part of paper and types was
saved, as were all the manuscripts. The large new college also
is safe, havin,,, been built on higher ground. The venerable
missionary, Dr. Carey, was in the Missionary-house at the
time (in a convalescent state, after a fever), and as the-waters
advanced, he was with difficulty removed ; soon after which
the walls fell, and all was desolation. Nothing was said of
Calcutta, which lies on a different side of the Ganges to that
of Serampore, and on somewhat higher ground ; but thelower
parts of Calcutta have probably suffered from this dreadful vi-
sitation.
The next tidings from India will be looked for with
great atriiety, from an apprehension that all the towns and
villages in the course of the river may have been similarly
affected. The disaster at Serampore occurred in the-night,
which greatly aggravated the evil.—( Times.)

A letter has been received, by his relatives. in
Bath, from an officer in the East India Company's ser4iee,
stating the capture of the King and Queen of Ava with im-
mense treasure, in a fort where they had taken refuge : the
native troops suffered great loss. The writer's share of' prize.
money, as Lieutenant, is estimated at 18,0001.—(Evcning
Paper.).

A new cutter-built pleasure boat has been
conveyed from Woolwich to Virginia Water, for
the use of the KING. The cabin is capable of
dining 24 persons.

I year, and only Q,710!. less thau that of the year
1816, the concluding period of the war. The Re-
port remarks upon two circumstances arising
out of these returns ; first, the small dif-
' ference between the amount collected in the
year ending the 25th March, 1816, and that
ending 25th March, 1821, and secondly, the
fact that, notwithstanding there has been a di-
minution of one per cent., the diminution has I
teen much more partial than in former years, so
that whilst one county (Leicester) exhibits a de-
crease of 11 per cent. as compared with the pre-
ceding year, another county (Wilts) returns an
increase of 8 per cent. This increase as com-
pared with the preceding year, occurs in. the fol-
lowing Counties :

VAuxuAt.t..--A grand military gala,
,in commemoration
of the battle of Waterloo, took place at these wardens last night.
The usual brilliancy of the illuminations was greatly enhanced
upon this occasion by the addition of upwards of 15,000 varie-
gated lamps, which, formed into characteristic devices, and
aided in their effect by the picturesque splendour of an illu-
minated grove, imparted quite a magical appearance to the
scene around ; and the illusion was still heightened by the
martial strains breathed frOm the orcheitra, while the banners
of the different nations of Europe hung waving in the night
breeze, beneath the dark green foliage of the trees. Unfortu-.
nately, however, the unfavourable state of the weather prevent-,
ed this delightful scene from being enjoyed by so many.sisitors
as would otherwise have been present. a'he cornirany,bowevr, was much more numerous than could, under the circunisti9tes,
have been expected. Amon4st the nottiOeit of the evening, One,
