THE GREEKS.

MARours OF HASTINGS.—To announcing the
arrival of the Marquis of HASTINGS at Gibraltar,
we added a statement, copied from the Morning
Papers, intimating that his Lordship would pro-
ceed to the lonian Islands, to relieve Sir Tuo.
MAS MAITLAND,as the High Conimissioher. We
can, however, contradict that statement, as Sir
Tiros!As MAITLANI) will resume the Government
of the lonian Islands, whilst the Marquis of
HASTINGS is to proceed to Naples, as the Repre-
sentative of his MAJESTY at that Court.

We yesterday announced the departure of
M. de Mactukno, formerly Consul-General of Spain at Paris.
It is announced that his place will be filled by 31. Lahore, the
former Spanish Consul at Marseilles, who has been appointed
to the situation by the Provisional 'Government of Spam esta.-
blished near the Duke of Angouleme.
AIX-LA-C/lAPFLLE, MAT 9.—Letters from Warsaw ex-
plain the facts which have given rise to the reports so fre-
quently repeated of the assemblage of a considerable number
of Russian troops in Poland. Some movements have, in fact,
taken place, but only in the Polish army, the regiments in
which are organised in such a manner as to be ready to march
on the first signal, but nothing has occurred to indicate that
they are to march out ol'ihe kingdom on any expedition what-
ever. But what particularly excites the public attention, is the
.assembling of a considerable corps-d'armtie in the government
of Witepsk, under the pretext, that the peasants of this pro-
vince had tumultuously refused the payment of a certain quit
rent in consideration of which they have been exempted from
services (eorvee;) that were formerly exacted from them. This
affair is not of so serious a nature as several papers in the North
of Germany have represented it to be, and a few regiments
would have been quite sufficient to have restored every thing to
order. It is supposed then that the assembling of more than
40,000 men in one point of the Russian Empire is for quite
another purpose than that which hasjust been assigned to it.

Yesterday, at three o'clock, a Cabinet Coun-
cil was held at the Foreign Office, which was
attended by the LORD CHANCELLOR, Viscount
MELVI LLE, ViSColltit Si DUO I) Tit, the CIIA N-
ceLLon of the EXCHEQUER, Mr. PEEL, Mr.
CANNING, Mr. WYNN, Lord DI EXLEY, &C.—
The Council continued in deliberation till past
four o'clock.
The Duke of 'nal: arrived in Town from
Newmarket on Thursday night.—Yesterday the
Duke and Duchess of Gloucester had a nume-
rous dinner party.—The Princess Sophia visited
the Duchess of Gloucester yesterday.—Yester-
day the Princess Sophia Matilda walked in Ken-
sington Gardens.—Last night the Duke and
Duchess of Clarence honoured Covent-Garden
Theatre with their presence.
The late Earl BEAUCHAMP is succeeded in his
title and estates by his next bmther, the lion. Jour; REGI-
NALD PINDAK, now Earl BEAUCHAMP.
KING'S Tue.vrat.—As this Theatre would
not be permitted to open on Whitsun-Eve, the
performances took place lust night, and had a
very large and brilliant audience. The Opera
was °kilo, and GALICIA again displayed his great
musical and theatrical talents as the hero of the
Piece. lie was well supported by REINA and
CURIONI, and particularly by CAmeoltEst, who
was very affecting and impressive in the heroine.
A new Ballot followed, entitled Aline, ileine de
Goleonde. We cannot pretend to develope the
Plot, which we confess was wholly unintelligible to
us, and we believe to more sagacious auditors,)
but as we were gratified by splendid scenery,
and admirable,dancing, we were little solicitous
to interpret the dumb sheze of the kble. Cou-
LoN, ANATOLE, V ESTRIS, and Madame RONZ I
VESTRIs footed, vaulted, and pirouetted with ad.
mire ble grace and agility. So did A rmE, but we
advise her not to wear a perpetual smile, as it
to
is not becoming, to her face, though it enables her
to display a fine set of teeth. The thunder
a sl
rolled in Otello with impressive effecti, but
fluid was disturbed in, its course, the audience re-
mained quietly in their stations, and devoted
their attention to the opera. Some murksof dis-
approbation attended the Ballet, but considering
the beauty of the scenery and the excellence of
the dancing, it was unseasonable and unjust.

POPE'S CUstom and Excise Guide, containing the

On Tuesday last, the daughter of an elderly
woman, residing in the vicinity of Milton, was
confined, and it is most singularly remarkable,
that) at the same hour and minute of the ac-
couchment, the old Lady expired, without having
experienced any sumptorns of illness until the
moment she was struck with death.
