GREECE.

Coaru, JUNE 31..--The army of Etolia has
"penetrated into Epirus in several places. One
¶part was disembarked in the port of Glycys, near
-Scull ; another on the coasts of Arta, and a
,third passed by Macrynoros. The following
.proclamation has been addressed by the Minister
.of War to the Stratarques (Chiefs of the Army)
and to the soldiers of this part of .Greece

" Stratarques, and Soldiers of the Western Army—The most
cruel tyranny which ever existed, and the hope of liberating
your country, your parents and children, have made you take
up arms. You have soleninly sworn to break in pieces the
yoke, or perish to the last man with a courage worthy of our
,cause. You have been resisted in collie places, but in most of
the combats in which you have been engaged, you have taught
your enemies to dread you ; ycu have proved what the firm re-
solution of men can effect, who, though few in numbers, con-
tend for•freedom.

" You have.reSisted alone during a yesr.the Whole force of
.an en any, who threatened to invade your frontiers, and pass
into the releponacsus. At prZsent, the Governmentbas sent
to you, from this latter country, the legion of heavy armed in-
fantry. ,It is accompanivl by the regiment of Europeans, who
have comc.from.afar to the succour of Greece.; and who unite,
with-great valour, much experience and knowledge of the art
of war. 'A naval force is,destined to assist at sea the opera-
„lions on shore, in cruising against the enemy. Our illustrious
President is coming in person to direct the combined operations
of both form.

" Stratarques of Etolia and of Acarnania—You have for a
~14ang time defended your frontiers, and have constantly repulsed

the attacks of the enemy. The new reinforcements will ensure
his speedy anti total destruction. And you, Soldiers of these
celebrated, countries, who have never disgraced the valour of
your ancesters, forget not at present your duty. Remem-
ber your oaths, and hasten to the defence of your-wives, of your
children, and of your brothers, whose extermination has been
sworn by the enemy. Your just and generous undertaking has
compromised them for ever with the barbarians, in the middle
of whom there is no longer any security for them. Your coun-
try now demands your exertions.
The Minister of War,
" Corinth, May 26t. " JOHN COLETIS.",

REPORT CONCERNING THE PRINCIPAL EVENTS

IN THESSALY.

" We began offensive operations in Thessaly on the 12th of
April; our army was divided into two separate columns; the
first was to attack Neopatra at the same time that the other was
to advance on Zftitonni.

" The latter, commanded by General Nicetas, came by sea ;
it disembarked on the 13th April, in the Bay-of Echinon, near
Stelida; the enemy soon appearea with superior forces, and
twice beaten, retreated on Stelida. Pursued even here, he soon
sought safety in flight, and SO Mahometan Albanians who had
thrown- themselves into two fortified houses to resist the occu-
pation of the town, were six7ll, with the houses, a prey to the
flames.

" The same day Odysseus advanced at the head of a batta-
lion on Santa Marina, a small town of much importance near
Zeitouni, and carried it by storm.
On his side, Coutoyanne, who commanded the other co-
lumn, advanced against Neopatra, defeated the enemy whom
he met about a league from the town, pursued him to the gates,
and even burnt a-part of the suburbs from which the Turks kept
up their fire. At the commencement of the night he returned

to his post.
" On the 14th, Easter-day, the enemy advanced with all his
forces bringing with him a considerable park of artillery. At
first he marched on Santa Marina, but after making several
useless attacks on this position he marched to Stelida. He at-
tacked it three times, and was three times repulsed with consi7
derable loss. His cavalry, Which supported the principal at-
tacks, suffered much more than his infantry.
"At midnight the troops which occupied Stelida effocted
their junction with Odysseus at Santa Marina. The enemy,
who thought them dispersed, marched towards this town the.
ensuing day. A continued cannonade, well kept up but badly
directed, did no harm ; then he advanced to the entrench-
ments, which he thought were defended by only a small num-
ber of men. After three discharges the Greeks attacked him
sword in hand; he beat a retreat, and was pursued nearly to the

gates of Zeitouni.
" These operations were suspended for a few days by an-
other circumstance. Hassan Pacha, drunk with the blood of
the peaceable peasants whom he had murdered in Macedonia,
in the environs of Naousta, had advanced on Thessaly, at the
head of 10,000 man. Proud of his massacres, h threatened to
cross the mountains arid defiles, to rejoin the argt of Joussouf,
at Patras. On April 26th he penetrated to Agrapha. Stergios,
who commanded there, profiting by his confidence, feigned a
retreat.—After drawing him into the most difficult situations,
he attacked him suddenly. The carnage was dreadful—more
than half the Turks were cut in pieces on the spot, and a great
number perished in the retreat. Hassan Pacha, with the ruins
of his army, reached Phanari, which another Turkish army
had occupied for some time.
" Afterwards the Agraphistes advanced on Chasia, a chain of
mountains which connects Pindus with Olympus, and formed a
junction with Stournane, who commands in this country; they
attacked on May 25, at Keracha, the Turkish advanced guard,
and routed it. On the 2;th they marched on Phanari. The com-
bat which ensued there was bloody, and for a long time doubtful.
At length the enerny,harassed on his flanks,took to flight in great
disorder, abandoned his camp, his provinces, &c. He reached •
Triceala, which he evacuated two days afterwards to retire to
Larissa.

" At noon, on the 22d of May, the Turks in Cleopatra aban-
doned the town, after a brisk attack; they passed the Sperchius
and retreated towards the north.

" From this moment the enemy thought only of retreating at
all points; and at the beginning of June Thessaly as far as
Larissa was evacuated."—(CONStitUtionnel.)

CITY, WEDNESDAY
EVENING.

Consols for the August settlement opened this morning at
801, and advanced to 30i, at which price they closed. Confi-
dence is again gradually restoring their former value, for it is'
now obvious that there was not any siifficient cause fat-the late
decline. A new account was begun for the 16th of October,
arid several transactions were effected in it at 80/. Bank
Stock is noted at-251;10,. The Three per Cent reduced continue
at from 80i- to 81,1. -The cash price of Three per Cent. Con-
sols is 80j 1, and the Three and a half per Cents are 921
The Old Fours continue at 991 d, and the New are 99i
—Bank Long Annuities bring 20 5-16 a 21. India Stock is
quoted 249. India Bonds, 62. 61. At the present moment,
however, the inonied interest does not bestow much of its
attention on the English Securities. The Foreign Funds
offer a much better rate of interest, and as civilization and
liberal opinions are daily gaining ground in Europe, ultimate
safety becomes in proportion more certain. Large transfers ac-
cordingly•continue to take place in every description of foreign
funded debts. A private Express from Paris brings the Rentes
there on Monday last at 93.25. Here, this day, in consequence of
an idea having been entertained that a decline would take place at
Paris, on the death of Lord Londonderry being known, they fell
to 92.50.; but when the small advance at Paris on Monday last
became public, they again re-assumed their former value of 93.
The Exchange is 25. 40.; Prussian Five are 884 a 89; and Mr.
ROT Hsc I.D's New LoanB6l. Neapolitan Stock has risen to73i
a 74, and, being in demand, is likely still to becothe more valua-
ble. Spanish Bonds of 1820 are 64, and those of 1821 are in de-
mand at 63/. Danish Fives are 87/, and the same, in Banco
Marks, 84. Russian Sixes, the exchange being are 82, and
the Metallic Fives are 74 Mr. ROT lIsCIIILD'S New Russian
Loan continues at 83A. Columbian Bonds are 87. To-morrow
being the settling day for the Chili accounts, and some misunder-
standing having arisen amongst sonic of the speculators this day,
there has been greatvariation m the value of this Stock; it opened
at 84k, fell to 821, advanced to 35, fell again to 831, and finally
closed at 821; it is expected lower to-morrow; but when once the
accounts are settled, it will soon recover its former value. At
the Corn Exchange there have arrived since Monday 3,800 quar-
ters of wheat, 200 quarters of barley and 2,700 quarters of
oats. The wheat harvest south of the dumber is nearly finished,
and for many years a more productive crop has not been ga-
thered in the United Kingdom. Another fortnight will nearly
clear the fields of every article except Beans. In Ireland the crop •
of Oats is fully as large as the one of 1818. If any ofhis Ma-
jesty's subjects during the next twelve months should feel any
thing like want of the necessaries of life, it must be attributed
to any thing but the elements. There will be great abundance
at very moderate prices; and if distress be felt, it must be
solely occasioned by the want of living wages to the produc--
, tive classes. Low prices must produce much good, for they
will enable a larger exportation of manufactured articles,
to be effected at less expence, and the present mode of em-'
ploying the Surplus Capital of the Empire in Foreign Loans
will assist Foreign Nations in paving for British industry.—
Low prices of grain will also enable the Merchant to pur-
chase from the Farmer the surplus growth of the fields, and to
export it to Southern Nations, the payment of which will
consist in such products of those nations, as• cannot be 'ob-
tained otherwise without national loss. Low prices will also
shew the Landed Interest the impossibility of their reap-
ing any advantage from Corn Bills, or any Restrictive
Corn Duties. A free intercourse among all nations in the
necessaries of life, is the best means for obtaining freedom of
trade. British taxation will be more easily paid, when all will
have an object in being industrious. The landed interest in a
few years, during low prices and free trade, will soon gain as
much by the increased quantity of their production, as they
lose at present by its dectsed value. All of them, no doubt„
must experiencetemporary distress; but it is a common law of
nature that every thing, sooner or later, must find its level.. At
the Corn Exchange it is almost impossible to effect any sales of
wheat, and the price is again Is.-to 2s. a quarter cheaper. Oats
have declined ls. also, and flour of the best quality has fallen
sg. a Sack.—(Morning Chronicle.)

ROYAL ACADEMY OE MUSIC.

Mu. EDITOR—The Musical Professors of this
country must feel much indebted to the Corre-
spondent who, in your Paper of Friday list,
stated some of the evils which are likely to re-
sult from the projected speculation of a Royal
Academy of Music. I find that the plan has
been announced by public Advertisement in some
of the London, and also 'in several of the Pro-
vincial Journals, a proof that the Directors do
not think that the principles of the plan will re-
commend themselves. The fact is, as your Corre-
spondent observes, that there is no want of able
musical Professors in this country, and it is evident
that they are actively employed in the business
of instruction. For what reasonable purpose
therefore can this crude and unseasonable pro-
ject be founded ? We have already several
Musical Societies, composed of the most
able Professors on their respective instruments.
It appears that at the end of seven or
eight years, a considerable number of pupils
of both sexes are to be turned loose upon the
world to get their bread, to speak in howely
language ; and can it be supposed that they will
have acquired skill enough to contend with prac-
tised musicians who occupy the ground of tuition ?
No—the consequence will be that the male por-
tion of these half-learned students will starve
while they are attempting to procure scholars,
and of the poor unprovided females, many of
them will incur the danger of hecomin4 those
" free hearted wenches" with whom Macheath
boasts that he has enriched the town. Ido not
mean, Mr. Editor, to treat this subject with
levity, but as a serious and alarming project.—
What is to prevent the fate Which I haie ven-
tured to predict as likely to befal these tyros of
Music, who will hardly have passed much beyond
the Gamut when they are to be thrown upon
the protection of Providence, for we do nut
find that any basis has been laid down for the
formation of a fund for the support of the pupils
who by illness, and other causes, may be dis-
abled for the pursuit of their profession. I agree
with your Correspondent, that the motives of the
Projectors and Patrons of this wild scheme may
be pure and patriotic, but they seem to act with
zeal without discretion. 1 understand that con-
sternation has been excited throughout the musi-
cal world by the project in speculation, and
though some may be seduced by the pride of
belonging to a Royal Academy, the'general opi-
nion is hostile to the scheme. It may be said,
that by encouraging an FotoLtsll Schoor., we
may prevent the intrusion of foreign musicians,
but what security is there that among our aris-
tocracy of rank or of wealth, there will not be
found Patrons who will protect foreign, in spite
of the panoply thrown over the rising,students
of the new Royal Academy ? No such se-
curity can possibly be obtained. For instance;
I need only mention THE ENGLISH OPERA
HOUSE, founded by Mr. AuNor.n, the son of a
very distinguished ornament of the musical pro-
fession, who is no more. Has the English Opera,
though it has been the liberal Asylum of the
best native talents, affected, in the slightest de-
gree, the interest of the Italian Opera, which
has been so long tolerated in this country ?
Have the nobility thronged to the English Opera
House for the purpose of fostering native talents
in musical composition or performance ? I s not,
on the contrary, the ITALIAN OPERA, as much,
if not more strongly, supported since the esta-
blishment of the ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE, as it
was before that truly British Institution ? Upon
the whole, Mr, Editor, the new Academy ought
to be discountenanced, as your Correspondent
says, upon every ground of " justice and hu-
manity."

ANOTHER PROFESSOR, wyru A FAMILY.

FOR THE SUN.

MR. EDITOR—As there is no better corrective
to a public evil, than bringing that evil before the public, you
will render an essential service if you will permit the follow-
ing observations to appear in your very ably conducted and
sound constitutional' Paper :—I am an invalid, and haire been
at Margate for some time, and am a subscriber to. BALE'S
Room, where several metropolitan papers are taken in, but
among which your's appears to be the favourite. Now, Sir,
the evil of which 1 complain is the long detention of a paper in
hand, by any individual, in a public room ; there cannot be any
objection, towards the close of the day, for any porer over a
paper to Spell and go thro' every article from beginning to end ;
but in the morning, when every person is anxious to knoW what
may be considered as news, it is a great bore for any of these
humdrum politicians to keep a paper in hand longer than two
or three minutes. I have several times waited more than an
hour before I could possibly gain a sight of any paper, which
has compelled me to throw away my time very improvidently,
when it might have been so much better employed in inhaling
the sea breeze from the pier, or in takihg a sail upon.the water.
1 have great hopes, Sir, if you will permit, this gentle hint to
appear, that it may be instrtunental in correcting an evil, which
is grave matter a-complaint by many others, as well as
&c.
Margate; Aug. 14, 1822. AN INVALID.

THE LATE 111 n. IgGLis.—Yesterday forenoon were depo-
sited, in the family vault at Walthamstow, in Essex, the re-
mains of Joux hunts, Esq., a merchant of London. The
deceased was a younger son of a surgeon practising in the town
of Lanark, N. 8., and while yet a lad, came to the metropolis
in search of employment. His original service was as clerk to
a person trading with America named Russell, who lived in
Grutched-friars, or its vicinity, and whose integrity is said to
have been remarkable. The subsequent labours of the deceased
were in the mercantile house to whiCh he so recently belonged,
and which has undergone many changes of firm ; suffice it to
observe, that the alteration from Inglis, Ellice, and Co., was
owing to the present Mr. Ellice having married into a political
family. Besides the individual concerns of the deceased, he
was a Director of the Union Assurance Office; of, the London
Dock Company, •to which he acted as Chairman ; and of the
East India Company, in which he had been the Deputy Chair-
man for one year. It may be presumed that he afterwards de-
clined to fill the principal chair, because he could not find
spare time for discharging the complicated duties of this
arduous station. So far as ins mercantile life compelled him to
assume a political character, he was a follower of Mr. Pitt's
principles, and thus may be.said to have been a supporter of
the present Administration : nevertheless, at the last election
for Lanarkshire, lie voted in favour of Lord Archibald Hamil-
ton ; but this secession, if It shall be called such, was probably
made to requite an obligation, which had been conferred on him
by a living and therefore nameless friend. Throughout his
domestic life the deceased was grave rather than gay. Let it
be attributed to this serious habit that his vices became few,
while his charity grew boundless.—( morning.- Herald.)
