Greece. Advises had reached that city from
Smyrna to the 22d ult., which stated that an
Austrian vessel had arrived there of that date,
seven days from Candia, by which the satisfac-
tory information had been received of the Otto-
man forces in that island having been again com-
pelled to take refuge in the fortresses, and to

abandon their attempt to reduce the population
to subjection. The same advices also confirm a
report, which has previously been in circulation,
of the repulse of the Turkish forces in an attempt
to capture the Island Skiatho. We yesterday
stated that the Turkish fleet had arrived in the
beginning of May hi the Gulf of Salonica. By
the information now received, it appears, that
3,000 Janissaries had subsequently been landed
the island Skiatho from this fleet, and
that they had experienced a very signal de-
feat. It happened, fortunately, that a con-
siderable force had arrived there a short pe-
riod previously from some of the neighbouring
i,lands, and the Ottomans, consequently, instead
of landing on a defenceless island, found one
filled with Christian soldiers. Their discomfi-
ture is represented to have been so complete that
not more than about six hundred men were en-
abled to escape on board the ships, the remainder
of the invaders having been either slain or made
prisoners. This account is confirmed by letters
received direct from the Islands at Marseilles.--
From the llorea the dates are to the middle of
May, at which time the arrival of the Turks was
expected with much impatience. By this channel
also it is stated, that all the disputes amongst the
CLristian Chiefs had been at length finally set-
tid, and that seventy Greek ships were about to
sail in quest of the Turkish fleet.

Demerara Papers to the 14th ult. have arrived,
from which we make the following extracts :
GEORGE Tows, llar 10.—On Saturday last, at noon,
an untOrtunate man, of the name of Peter Beck, wha had
been convicted on the clearest evidence by the Hon. Court of
Justice, of having wantonly shot a negro slave belonging to
him, in a state of intoxication, underwent the awful sentence
of the law in front of the Court-house, in presence of a large
concourse of spectators. The Rev. Mr. KNOLBY, of the Lu-
theran Church, attended him in his last moments. The Peti-
tion of the inhabitants upon the present state of the Church
Establishment, and for the suspension of the Rev. Mr. Aus-
T IN, was presented to his Excellency the Governor on Friday
last, by S. 0. NuRsE, Esq. and the Honourable MicuAr.i.

Yesterday morning, soon after ten o'clock, the
KiNG left his Palace in Pall-mall, in his travel-
in, carriage and four, for Windsor.
The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE left
town on Saturday for their residence at Bushy.
Yesterday the Duchess of KENT and the Prin-
css AUGUSTA visited Prince LEOPOLD.
It will be seen by our French news, that the
Grand Duke of Tuscany, FERDINAND Third,
died on the 18th of June, in Florence, in his 56th
year, after six days' illness. His only son suc-
ceeds him, under the title of Lr.oroLD Second. '
An unUsnal degree of activity was observed
through the whole department of the Foreign
Office on Sunday Inst. Mr. Secretary CANNING
transacted business for a considerable time, End
Lord FRANCIS CONYNGHAM, together with Lord
HOWARD DE WALDEN, attended the office from

ail early hour until late in the evening. The

messengers in waiting were continually on the
alert, and it is supposed that at this moment
something of more than ordinary importance oc-
cupies the atttention of the Cabinet.
Letters have been received from Sierra Leone
to the 3d ult. but they contain little in addition
to what had been previously received from Cape
Coast. Active preparations were making, as
well offensive as defensive, against the Ashantees.
Saturday's Gazette contains the appointment of
the new Governor, General TURNER ; and we
understand that the most active steps are taking
by Government for forwarding stores and rein-
forcements to Africa.

THE DUKE OF ATHOL.—On Monday, the 21st
instant, the Duke of ATHoL arrived by the Ma-
jestic steam packet at Douglas, in the Isle of
Man. His Grace landed at the Pier, where
some thousands of the inhabitants of the town
and neighbourhood were assembled to greet his
return to the Island. They manifested their at-
tachment to his Grace by repeated cheers.—So
much for his Grace's unpopularity, and for the
veracity of the Petition lately presented to the
House of Commons by Mr. BROUGHAM!
Sir MATTHEW and Lady RIDLEY left town
on Sunday morning for Cheltenham, where they
will remain a few weeks for the benefit of her
Ladyship's health, previous to their return to
their beautiful seat, Blagdon, Northumberland.

On Saturday the Earl-and Countess of LIVER.-
Pool, left town for Coombe Wood.
BINS SLOANE STANLEY, ESQ.—This Gentle-
man, to the regret of all who had the pleasure of
being acquainted with him, died yesterday, in
the 86th year of his ago, at his house in Upper
lie rley-street. He was a striking and impressive
example of that good old school of manners which
blended urbanity with uniform correctness, unaf-
fected courtesy, and polished breeding. He was
a gentleman of elegant taste in matters of litera-
ture, and particularly a judicious critic on the-
atrical merit ; one of the few remaining judges who
well-knew and duly apppreciated the unrivalled
excellence of GArtnlcs. His stature was com-
manding, his features expressive, but always
marked by the suavity of his disposition, and
indeed by his deportment in general he formed 'a
model of dignified ease and conciliatingaffability.
This gentleman was father-in-law of JOSEPH
Jsa-rt.r., Esq., whose talents and character are
tno well known to need any eulogium in this
place.

The Floating Island in Derwent Lake, Kes-
wick, has again made its appearance above the surface of the
water. It it seven years since this phenomenon was last seen.
Mr. SPANKIE intends taking the Sergeant's
Coif during the present Term.
