Is more titan usually animated, and the information of a
highly impressive nature. We give es an illustiation
the following spirited account of the Greek Corsair, pas-
nano, which will be found worthy of perusal :
At the time of our defe"at at the battle of Pete, Basseno, as I
have already said, was lying with two gun-boats in the Arnbracian
gulf, and had captured sonic vessels laden with provisions for Pre;
moat dauntless courage,
with anda iverwillun
vesa. The Turks were well acquainted with the name of this
corsair, who had taken a great many English ships in the time of
Napoleon. Ile had also rendered essential services to Ali Pella-
feared, bat more particularly by the Turks. At the commence-

money, and engaged seamen, both Europeans and Greeke, 'lito
collected a body of 200 men,
with whom he hoped to do :good
service, both on shore and at sea. So long as be had money to
maintain hie men, all the Greeks Were extreinelteordial with
him, and full of gratitude for the enthusiasm he displayed in their
cause. But as soon as he was obliged to apply to the Ga"rn-
ment for
pay sad rations, they began, with one accord,
to treat him as an enemy, and actually to refwoorA him,
-for forming a company. without reamireet for their sup-
port* My readers will, -f 14SW sure hardly hitlins this to
he possible. It is, however, perfectly true. Though llama"
he was 60 strongly attached to the cause 'of freedom, that be
saw that nothing was to be expected from these. Wretched railds•

middling and inferior quality; but the trade in the carcass mar.

the justice or propriety of Coroners' Courts being closed to the
Odic, while other courts of law were open.

VASMOINTATILE INTELLIGENCE.

WINDSOR, SEPT. 15.—0 n Wednesday his MA-
JESTY, with his usual attendants, left the Royal Lodge
at half-past two o'clock, and took his favourite rides
through the new plantations, Chapel Wood, and the
Royal Nursery, to Virginia Water ; which he had not
visited before for the last eight days. After inspecting
the improvements carrying on, and taking some plea-
sant drives on the margin of that delightful lake, his
MAJESTY returned, at half-past five o'clock, to the
Royal Lodge, where he honoured his distinguished
attendants with his company to dinner.
Yesterday his MAJESTY left the Royal Lodge at
his usual hour, and took some exercise In the Great
Park ; but some heavy showers came on, and obliged
his MAJESTY to return to the Royal Lodge earlier
than usual.

There is nothing whatever heard of here relative to
his MAJESTY leaving the Royal Lodge, nor is it in
the least expected that he will visit Brighton, or any
other watering-place, during the winter.
His MAJESTY enjoys excellent health ; he retires
early to bed, rises early in the morning, and in general
is the whole of the forenoon occupied with public
business.

It is not expected that his MAJESTY will dine again
this season at Virginia Water.

The Lord Chancellor and the Duke of Wellington
paid visits yesterday to the Duke of York, at the resi-
dence of the Duke of Rutland, in Arlington-street.
His Royal Highness transacted military business
yesterday with Sir Herbert Taylor, his Military
Secretary ; Sir Henry Torrens, Adjutant-General ;
General Macdonald, Deputy Adjutant-General ; and
also with Sir Willoughby Gordon, Quarter-Master-
General. The usual medical attendants visited the
Royal Duke.
The Duke and Duchess of Clarence have been
staying on a visit to the Duchess of Saxe Meiningen,
the mother of the Royal Duchess, at her seat at Alton,
in Germany. Their Royal Highnesses were expected
to take their departure on the first of the present
month to return to England. At the time the last
letters received in town from their Royal Highnesses
were written, the Duke of Clarence was in the enjoy-
inent of good health.
Despatches were sent off yesterday from the Foreign
Office to Lord Bloomfield our Minister at Stockholm ;
also to Lord Granville, our Ambassador at Paris.
The Countess of Eldon is so flu recovered from
her late indisposition, as to be able to take an airing
almost daily in her carriage.
This forenoon the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. A. Stan-
hope took leave of her Royal Highness Princess Au-
gusta, and left Frogmore Lodge, for their residence in
town.

Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Codrington is appointed
Commander-in-Chief of his Majesty's ships in the
Mediterranean, and is to hoist his flag in his Majesty's
ship Asia, fitting out at Portsmouth. It is under-
stood that Captain Edward Curzon is to be his Flag
Captain.

REMOVAL OF LORD WELLESLEY.

Nay, start not, Castle Gazetteers, Court Sycophants,
Popish Agitators, or Protestant Conciliators. Lord Wel•
lcsley's removal is resolved upon. Aye, verily
'Tis true, 'tis pity;
And pity 'tis, 'tis true.
But we can assure our readers that they may look forward
to this event as decided. We arc so jocund, so rejoiced
at the good news, that we can scarcely contain ourselves.
We would, however, seriously ask those who have confided
in us—

Nadi there been such a tinte,—(we'd fain know that,)
That we have positively said—'Tis so,
When it proved otherwise?
The Duke of Rutland is confidently spoken of as suc-
cessor. This, if it turn out so, is better news still. The
Protestants have one consolation—Any change must be for
the better.—Dublin Evening Mail.

Hieronymus Cardanus, who insisted upon the ad-
vantage of perfect rest, observes that Trees live longer
than animals, because they never stir from their
places.
Yesterday forenoon a man, strangely habited, with
no other clothing than a flannel jacket, with a girth
round his waist, and a pair of tight worsted pantaloons
reaching to his alleles, started on foot, with Moody's
Windsor coach, from Hyde Park-corner, and kept
pace with the coach the whole of the way ; when the
coach stopped to change horses he also stopped, but
took very tittle refreshment. He ran barefooted the
whole of the way, and arrived at Windsor before the
coach. On arriving at 'Windsor he was met by some
gentlemen, who shook bands with him.
LATE ROBBERY AT THE LITERARY GAZETTE
OFFICE!—We grieve to find that we made a mis-
statement in our account of the burglary lately com-
mitted at this office. It was three shillings and fourpence
(not three shillings) that was stolen ; moreover, this
was not the sum total of a week's but a fortnight's sale,
which, considering all things, is not to be wondered
at. The articles extracted from the Editors box were
not, as reported, " Odes to a Steam-boat" and " The
Moon ;" but a pair of elegies on the " Norfolk Prize
Ox"—of dimensions nearly similar to those of the
departed quadruped. The burglars have since, wt
hear, been apprehended, in consequence of having
fallen asleep while perusing the aforesaid elegies.
JARVIS, THE POLYGAMIST!—We understand that
.a select Committee of Craniologists have resolved on fitting up
a Box at the back of the head of this notable Polygamist, in order
that they may inspect his occiput during the next Bow-street
examination. Dr. Gall also has been applied to, with a request
that he will invent some new hump to fit his sconce. Under these
circumstances we advise Mr. Jarvis to wear a wig.

army ; but Caraiseaki succeeded in teednciling ail patties ;
and from every quarter of, Greece troops asseMbled there
to attack Ibrahitt4 after leaning laid in ambush for him in
the defiles of Parthenia (Cant-Scala), where they gave
him battle; they fell upon his troops; put them in confu-
sion, and obliged them to retreat tO Tripolitza, four leagues
distant, with the loss of 3,000 met 4 and all their baggage
and ammunition. The Gteeks lost only 500 Men on the
field of battle. Atimated by this victory, they marched
on Tripolitza ibul laid siege to it. Ibrahim is surrounded
in this place, and will probably be obliged tti fall back in
the utmost haste on his fortresses.

Letters from Nauplia state that this battle took place on
the 18th, and that the immortal garrison of Missolonghi
were actively engaged in it,
While Ibrahim marched on Nauplia, Redschid puha at-
tacked Athens ; but he was repulsed by Gouras, and
obliged to retreat:
The division of the Greek fleet which was before Samos?"
has burnt a Turkish frigate and two corvettes, and obliged
the Capitan Pacha to give up his enterprise against this
island. A second division, composed of forty-four vessels
and fire-ships, has just quitted the port of Hydra, and di-
rected its course towards Smyrna, for the urpose of meet-
ing the Turkish fleet, which was supposed to take this di-
rection after the attack on Samos. Hydra is well forti-
fied. Colonel Fabvier' with \his regular troops, as well as
the Cranidiotes aml Pnreotes, are in this island. Thus
the Greek fleet may scour the Archipelago, and follow the
moveuftts of the Capitan Pacha, without the least
anxiety for this island, which contains within its precincts
the tatnilies of these brave sailors.
All Greece is now in motion. This month and the next
will decide her fate; and we hope that she will come out
of the struggle triumphantly. There are no Turkish troops
either in Thessaly or Epirus, and we hear of no new enrol-
ment in any quarter.

31ACCLESFIEL1).—You may have heard probably of the
marriage of Miss Turner, only daughter of Wm. Turner, Esq.
High Sherif of Cheshire, to a Mr. Watefield, who is, I
am told, employed in a confidential situation by the French
Government. The bride is nearly " fifteeb" years old,
with a prospect of a fortune of at least 200,000!. and
the Adonis is about " forty," and a widower. She was at a
school in Liverpool. The pair are supposed to be in France.
The disparity in age, and the extreme youth of, the
lady, have excited a strong feeling in thin neighbourhood. it
is worthy of remark, that Mr. W. married his first wife, who
was heiress, with about 70,0001. at her disposal.

effect of aggravating the evil.

A DREADFUL AcciDENT occurred yesterday
afternoon, in Crawford-street, 3iontagn-square. As a little
boy about eight years of age, named William Hicks, whalived
at 25, John-street, New-road, was in the act of crossing Craw.

the wheel of the cart paused over his head, and crushed it .to
atoms.

ORATORIO.

COVENT.GARDEN THEATRE.—The Oratorios
closed last night with a most brilliant audience ;
and strange indeed would it have been had such
powerful attraction proved otherwise than irre-
sistible. If BaAttAst, Purr.tars, STEPHENS, PA.
TON, VESTRIS, CAWSE, FA ItltAtt, in the Vocal
department—Moat, at the head of a fine Band,
with Sir GEORG t: SstAßr to conduct, cannot
command success, what can ? The First Part
consisted of a portion of Der Freisehutz, perform-
ed under the direction of the Composer.—
'
Mr. BPLEON performed a Fantasia on the violin,
and displayed much talent. He introduced
HottN's catching melody of " Cherry Ripe"—
here we have nu objection to it, but when called
for, ad lib. in any Play which V EST RTS performs
in, we say it is very reprehensible. The Second
Part opened with the immortal HANnEr.'s Hal-
lelujah Chorus. BR A HAM'S Luther's Hymn was
as usual sublime. Miss STEN) EN'S sung " Let
the bright Seraphim" with her wonted taste
and power. The Misses CAWSE and Miss FAR.
RA It gave " Giovinetto Cavalier" in a style that
reminded us of the manlier it was performed at
the Opera House last season. A selection from
HANDED'S Israel in Egypt closed the Act. Part
111. commenced with %VEBER'S fine Jubilee Over-
ture. The manlier in which the composer intro-
duces " God save the. King" by the wind instru-
ments, while the violins, &c." run about in every
direction," is remarkably ingenious. Miss STE-
PHENS sung, for the first time, a ballad called
" 0 merry row the bonnie Bark," arranged for
her by P.tnny, with all her sweetness of tone
and matchless simplicity, mid was rapturously
encored. Madame VESTRIS sung a new song of
liouNgs, " I've been roaming," which was en-
cored. BRAHA m gave " The Horn Chase" all the
strength magnificent voice. After the
cc I'relly STEPHENS and VEsrritts,
I,ag bei
byi
HORSLEY'S pretty round of " The Village
Bells,"a trio by the Misses CAWSE and PHILLIPS,
the entertainment concluded with a selection of
LocKE's music in Macbeth. We cannot suffer
these performances to pass without giving our
meed of praise to every individual concerned in
them, from Sir G. SMART to his Organ Blower;
and we do so with more satisfaction than usual,
because the Orchestra, generally speaking, was
composed of native talent. This, without de-
tracting from the merit of foreigners, must surely
be highly gratifying to John Bull anti his family.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STRIaIE
T. Williams, a little boy, who was found all but dead at the
door of Mr. Tower, in Bedford-street, Covent-garden, was
brought before the Magistrates. His father and mother being
dead, he
.had come to London from Devizes, with a shilling
only in his pocket (a waggoner kindly assisting him with food
and a ride on the way), and, after wandering about the metro-
polis for a length of time, he sunk at Mr. Tower's door, from
cold, hunger, and fatigue. The Magistrates ordered him to be
taken care of in St. Martin's watchhouse, until something could
be done for him.

Consols opened at the closing price of yester-
day, 78k i—and gradually advanced to 781.
About 12, a bargain for 150,000 at 78Z somewhat
flattened the market, which from that time con-
tinued to decline till one, when the potation
was 77-g.

The late advance in Consols, from 76f, is
now generally ascribed to the sudden purchases
by the Bears, who, under the influence of
panic, rushed in as buyers, to turn their ac-
counts. The depression since yesterday is account-
ed for by various rumours—an express from Ham-
burgh, with unfavourable accounts from Russia—

sere not connected' with the army; had suggested divers plans
which were calculated in - their opinion to do away with flog-
ging, and had expressed a wish that they should be tried by
nffieers in the army. This was very well for them to advise,
but he was convinced that they would divide the odium with
those Officers if, on the trial of these plans, they were found not
to succeed, and the army consequently get the character of
being badly regulated. He would merely state one case which
had often happened, and might recur still oftener. Suppose a
private were to knock down a non-commissioned officer, was he
to be put into confinement? no ; certainly not: his comrades
would not be acquainted with his punishment, and he contended
that corporal punishment was as much calculated to impress
terror in the minds of the spectators as to inflict pain on the
individual who was subjected to its operation. Another plan
suggested by Honourable Members was to confine the prison-
ers to barracks ; this, he contended, was impracticable, be-
cause he believed even the Tower could hardly contain a
single battalion in addition to the guard stationed there.—
During the time of the riots in 1815, about the Corn Laws, he
had the honour to command a battalion called out to quell the
disturbance. There was no room for the soldiers in the bar-
racks where they were stationed, and they were obliged to lay
down straw in the mess-room and in the kitchen.

[MORN] NO POST.]

Previously to the House of Commons resolving
into a Committee of Supply last night, Mr. Ma-
berly called the attention of the House to the
present state.of Exchequer Bills and the transac-
tions of Government with the Bank of England.
Ile was ably replied to by Mr. Berries, who, with
the utmost neatness, showed that the confusion
which the Bon'. Gentleman affected to have dis-
covered in the statements of the Treasury existed
only in his own mind—a fact conclusively demon-
strable, even by the paper moved for by the
Hon. Gentleman himself. He exposed the im-
propriety and inconsistency of putting resolutions
upon the Journals relating to subjects which
were so soon to be brought regularly be-
fore the Douse by the Chancellor of the Ex.
chequer : and upon this and other points his
reasoning obtained the full approbation of Mr..
Baring, who expressed a hope that no further
delay would take place in bringing forward the
Annual Financial Statement, which our readers
are aware stands definitely fixed for Monday
next. The Chancellor of the Exchequer gave a
most satisfactory statement of the financial
proceedings for some years back ; and the
sense of the house was so clearly manifested
on the occasion, that Mr. Maberly's motion
was negatived without a division. in answer
to a question by Sir Robert Wilson upon the
subject of the continued occupation of Spain by
the French troops, Mr. Secretary Canning said
that he could not undertake to specify the pre.
cise time at which die evacuation of that country
by the French Army
would take place. It had
certainly happened that arrangements had been
made for it Nice, when some miserable paltry
attack again frustrated the object. It was there-
fore the fault of those who mnde such insensible pal-
try, unprofitable attacks, that no further steps
had been taken; and he was confidently per.
evaded, that the French Government were as
anxious as the lion. Gentleman could be, to have
their troops out of Spain. The !louse then re-
solved itself into a Committee of Supply, when
Mr. Berries moved the Miscellaneous Estimates
of the Commissariat and Army Extraordinaries.
In the course of the desultory conversation
which took place, Mr. flume made some of his ac.
customed random assertions relative to the Govern-
ment of the Cape of Good Hope; to which Mr.
Wilmot Berton replied. In the Committee upon
the Mutiny Bill, Mr. Hume moved that a clause
be introduced to put an end to the practice of
Flogging Soldiers. After some debate, the Rouse
divided on the motion of Mr. flume, which was
rejected by a Majority of 99 to 47.

ful period. (Here follows an account of the measures adopted
by the Government : of receiving bullion and foreign coin not
legally current, in depot, .as.vecified In the decree already
published.)

The propriety of this' measure has already been proved to-
day, though no business was done, yesterday being Sunday.
It is understood that by twelve o'clock •,o-day application had
been made at the Chamber of Accounts, for about half the
amount of the millions of florins, which shews that the
measure was well-timed, though it is thought that the whole
amount will not be required.
Accounts from Berlin say, that the affairs of the house of
Crcllinger are in a much better state than was apprehended,
and that a dividend of BO per cent. may be expected.—(All-
genrcine Zeitung, 3farch 4.)

By an arrival from Van Diemen's Land, Ho-
bart's Town Papery, to the 18th Sept., were re-
ceived this morning at the North and South Ame-
lican Subscription Room. It will be seen by
our extracts from the Hotxtrt's Town Gazettc,
that this infant, but rising Colony, has been sub-
jected to great inconveniences and privations, from
the occasional scarcity,and consequent fluctuations
in the price of wheat. Hitherto the population
has been relieved by supplies from Sydney. It
is however asserted, that Van Diemen's Land,
will ultimately, become the granary ni the Aus-
tralian Colonies, from the superiority of its soil
for the growth of wheat, which is of greatly su-
perior quality to any grown in the neighbouring
Colonies:—

ORATORIO,

COVENT.GARDEN 711 Ea Ttt second
pearance of the celebrated WEBER at this Theatre last night
was honoured with the same enthusiastic cheers and !tunas as
attended him on Wednesday night. The first part, at wh q
he presided, consisted, as before, of selections from Der
Freitchntz. The Overture was performed in inimitshis,
style, and was repeated by the unanimous theatre of
the house, Miss PAT net's Grand Scene Aria is in the firs: it y.e
of the art, and was loudly applauded. The same may be said
of the delectable ST trumvs in the charming air of " Monet
Muds L
,y Tempests," which received the warmest applause.-_
BITAHAM and PHILLIPS were all that could bedeslred in their
respective songs; the latter introduced his celebrated Baccha.
nation, which he sung with his usual spirit, though of cause,
without the accompanying attitudes in the acting of the part
to which it belongs. The Bride4.llfaide Chorus, and the
Hunting Charm were (Neared. Perhaps the "hark, pilaw,"
in the latter, might be sung more distinctly. Great credit is,
due to the instrumental, as well as vocal department, for the ex-
ac ness and unison of the performance. Between the parts of the
Oratorio, Mr.FuitrrEwati made his first appearance as a per-
former on the flute. To those who understand this elegant in-
strument, the skill which he displayed, must have afflnded
great gratification, for there is no requisite of a first-rate player,
either in tone grace, or eiecution that he does not possess in
an eminent degree. He was deservedly much applauded. A.
trio by Miss ST E.P It ENS, Miss PATON, and Madame Vs: s-
rats, was well executed, The house was well atteadeilfroixt
