THE GREEKS.

MISSOLONOIII, SEPT. Q.—The advantages pre-
sented, in a military point of view, 'by the geo-
graphical position of the west of Greece, are
very import ; and notwithstanding the reverses
sustained there last year by the Mahometans,
the Porte ordered fresh efforts to be made to re-
conquer it. The plan of operations for this ex-
pedition was well conceived. An Albanian army
of 10,000 or 12,000 men was assembled on the
frontiers of Epirus. The Capitan Paella landed
a corps of Turkish troops at the port of Candyla.
A cplumn of 8,000 teen, almost wholly consist-
ing of troops from Scodra, also proceeded by
Agrapha into Acernania. These two last corps
were to meet each advancing in its direction, in
order to turn the Greek troops who occWpied
the frontier passes, and facilitate the entrance
of the Albanian army into Etolia, where the
three corps were to make their junction, to
march afterwards upon Missolonghi. By his skill
and conrage, General Bonds defeated all these
plans of the enemy. Having early perceived the
general discontent of the Albanians, he made
some overtures to their chiefs, who revolted
against the Seraskier, Joussour Pacha, and
after having carried otr the military chest, they
deserted the Turkish standards to return home.
Bozaris then proceeded to Candyla, where he
beat the troops landed by the Capitan Pacha,
and compelled them to seek for refuge on board
the fleet. After this success, Bozaris took the
direction of Carpenisn, where he awaited the
Paella. of Scodra. On the 18th of August the
enemy arrived in the valley of Laspi, where he
encamped ; his troops double in number to those
of the Greek General. Bozaris instantly held a
council of war, in which he represented, that
considering the superiority of the enemy's force,
nothing but a deed of audacity could decide the
victory in favour of the G reeks. This., opinion
being unanimously adopted, he addressed his
troops in an energetic speech, in which he called
on those who, like himself, were ready to devote
themselves for the glory and welfare of their
country to victory or death, to stand forward.
Four hundred men, mostly Suliotes, answered
the call, end in the face of the army threw
away their scabbards. This is an ancient mi-
litary custom ameng the Snliotes when they are
determined either to conquer or die. The
General selected 2äo soldiers, of whom he
formed a battalion, to execute the enterprise
he was meditating. lie afterwards divided
the remainder of his troops into three divi.

different points while he penetrated the centre

the enemy's troops to the centre of the camp.
At the same time the three stratarchs made their
attacks according to agreement. These simul-
taneous 'assaults spread terror and confusion
among the Mahometans. Roused in the midst of
darkness, and sharply pressed on all sides, they
in more than one instance mistook their comrades
for enemies, and perished by each other's hands.

voice, encouraged his hattaliA. The Mussul.

than 1,000 horses, 7,000 oxen, Scr. On their
side, with the serious loss of their General, they
had only to regret 27 killed, of whom 12 were
Suliotes of Bozaris's battalion, and 69 wounded,
of whom 40 were Suliotes. On the same day,

LITERARY NOTICE.

The SOCIAL DAY; t Poem, in four Cantos. By PETER

'COXE; Esq.
The object, it should seem, which the Author
had in view when writing-this Poem, was to ex-
hibit the delights of social intercourse, through
" a well spent day,". in which the best feelings
of the heart are called into action by the bene-
ficence of our fellow-creatures, and by a pro-
'per sense and enjoyment of the blessings that
an all-wise Providence has thrown around us—
awakening the attention of the affinent to the
wants of others, and inspiring gratitude for the
means of supplying them. To this ends the work
abounds with moral thoughts and beautiful
imagery, leading the readers mind to social con-
templacions, rarely the themes of modern bards.
Making both Nature and Art subservient to his
intention, the Author indulges in reflections, on
all the changes incident to the seasons, and the
day—he revels amongst the charms of Highgrove
(the spot which he celebrates) with easy and poetic
sportiveness ; indeed, the theme seems to be con-
genial to his native character, and he feelingly
illustrates some of his thoughts by highly wrought
episodes, of which the story of Orlando, and of
the Broken Jar, are conspicuous features, and
which afford the opportunity of introducing some
exquisite engravings after ,Wilkie, Cooper, and
others. Mr. Coxe evinces a decided affection for
the Fine Arts, and
.not only treats his subjects
with an artist-like understanding, but teaches
others how to regard the beauties of nature and
art, by affording them the means of distinguishing
excellencies—too often overlooked, because they
are rarely understood. With these properties,
no work can be otherwise than acceptable, and
as this inculc,ates a due attention to the virtues—the
agremens and elegancies of life—the Poem may
well adorn the table of the most fastidious.
The work is illustrated by thirty-two adtni-
rable engravings, from paintings by eminent ar-
tists, and it is believed that the latter were chiefly
presented to him, as testimonials of personal re-
gard—the obligation is, perhaps, a little too often
acknowledged in the work, but who can be of-
fended with the effusions of that ardent gratitude,
which prove that he is worthy of such tributes of
esteem and friendships.

WESTMINSTER SESSIONS.—(TuIs DAY'.)

The Grand and Petit Juries having been sworn
in, the Chairman, F. CONsT, Esq., begged the
former would take (he petty larcenies first, and
dismissed them to their duties.
Lieutenant IV: IV. kelt!, was put the Bar on an indict.
ment charging him with assaulting Captain Robert Ilaygan
on the 4th of June last, at the iiungerford Coffeehause in the
Strand.
Mr. Anotrttns conducted the case for the prosecution,. and
Mr. Cuss. P1111.1.'1'3 the defence. Beftirc any witnesses were
called, Mr. Phillips admitted that an assault had been com-
mitted, and put it to Captain Ilaygan, whether he would not
consult his honour by receiving an apology; which Lieutenant
Kelly was ready to make ?
Mr. A int3t.rin trs Intimated that this was all that was wanting.
Mr. PUILLii'S then said, that, speaking for Lieutenant
Kelly, he should.say that he was extremely sorry for the treat-
ment Captain Haygan had received ; and the Lieutenant was
discharged.

Ertousat Nom:tin-tr.—An •intelligent and
observant friend who came over to this country,
by the last arrival from England, has furnished
us with some information, which it may not be
improper to impart. He resided two months in
England, and during ,that time visited most of
the manufacturing districts, lie was struck with
peculiar surprise and delight, to behold all the
labouring classes of the community' actively
and constantly employed. Indolence seemed
almost unknown, all was bustling enterprise
and active employment. lie had not seen so many
beggars during the whole period of his visit us
lte had: in our streets for one day after his return
to this country. As a convincing and decisive
evidence of this fact, the poor-rates had in some
cases diminished three-fourths from what they
were in the year 1818. In the town of Man-
chester, for example, the poor-rates amounting
to 150,0001. si.Tling remained unappropriated,
and an application was contemplated to be made
to Parliament to appropriate that sam to other
purposes, such as the repair of roads or the
construction of canals. In the same town are
now building or cotorncted for, 44 new steam
cotton mills. In the county of Lancaster, 130
are erecting, and some on a more extensive scale
than have ever been known. New ports seem
daily opening for the introduction and sale of ar-
ticles of Euglish manufacture, the most re-
cent of which are those of Pt.rsia and India. Our
informant attended a printing establishment for
stamping calico, and saw several pieces, twenty.
eight yards in length, stamped in the course of a
single minute.—(Bultimore Gl/4ronicle, Sept. 9.)

Piceitenn risiirny...•The scans in Mount's Bay. have
done very little for the past week. Three means shot on the
evening of Friday, two of which took up about thirty hogs-
heads; the other is supposed to have bad three or four hundred
hogalteade but the scan unfortunately being old, burst with the
fish, *dolt made their escape. The driving boats were more
fortunate; they had from one to fourteen hogsheads of
fish
each. It is caleuted that there have been brought in by the
Newlyn and Mousehole boats, up,to Satutelay morning, up
wards of one thousand hogsheads. Since that time the fish
have been scarce, and are supposed to have passed by. The
weather is also much against the fishery at present.—r Cornira4

DOING BURGLARY.--- Yesterday morning,
about half-past two o'clock, a most daring and extensive rob-
bcry was committed at the residence of Mr. Griffith" Solicitor,
No. 37, Southampton-buildings, Chancery-lane. It'seems the
thieves got over. the railing into the area, where were two
windows with iron bars, through which they forced an entrance
into the kitchen, thence proceeding into the parlour where the
plate was deposited, the whole of which they took away, leave
tag behind them a plated teapot. They then went up stairs into
the drawing-room, whence they took all the plate they could
find there, broke open a writing-desk, from which they stole
a valuable snuff-box, strewing- all the papers about the room.
They searched the office also, but !indit, nothing of value,
they strewed all the papers about the far. They likewise
took away with them linen, money, and some wearing apparel
belonging to the servants. A nurse-woman who was attending a
sick person at the next house heard a violent noise about half-
past two o'clock in the morning, which induced her to look
out of the window; when she clearly perceived a hackney coach
drive violently down Southampton-buildinge, evidently into
Chancery-lane, the watchman then crying c. Half-past two;"
and in two minutes afterwards he called " Past three." It is
presumed the thieves must have had some knowledge of the in-
terior of the premises. The watchmen's box is stationed within
two doors of Air. Griffiths.

,newly-erected place of
worship, on the estate of Lord HOLLAND, at
