PAWS, SEPT. 2.—The Augsbeirgh Gazette says :—Let-
ters from Constantinople inform us, that Mr. Stratford
Canning (probably in consequence of complaints previously
made to the Porte) has presented to the Divan a note, in
which he declares that Lord Cochrane is an adventurer,
escaped from England : and he adds, that in case he
should fall into the hands of the Turks he would not be
claimed by the English Govenunent, as he is no longer
considered a subject of his Britannic Majesty.
We have spoken of the advantages obtained by the Mai-
notes over Ibrahim. We copy the following letter, which
relates to it, from the Genoa Gazette, which gives it as
official

" To his Excellency the President.
" Verge Armero, June 26 (July 8).
"1 this moment learn, by an express from my uncle
Mauromichali, from Capo Grosso, that the number of the
enemy who have fallen at Zimora is above 1,000. The
courier,. who was in the battle, states, that of above 1,500
Arabs who were in the field, scarcely 200 saved them-
selves by leaping into the sea and taking refuge on board
three of their vessels. While they were throwing them-
selves into the water, our people pursued them either to
kill them or take them prisoners; the fire of the vessels
did not check their courage in pursuing the Arabs. These
vessels have retreated. We have the pleasure of assuring
your Excellency of the truth of this fact.

The Moniteur contains an extract of a letter, addressed
to his Excellency the Minister of Marine, by Rear-Admiral
de Rigny, commanding the French naval force in the
Levant. In that letter, Admiral de Rigny states what
happened at Tino, in the same manner as we recounted it
yesterday. " I have succeeded (says he) in bringing
about an entire reconciliation here ; but the same arts will
be repeated in other quarters, because the armed Greeks,
perceiving that these islands, without defence, are every
instant exposed to the necessity of capitulating with the
Turks, are desirous, before that happens, of depriving the
inhabitants of all their resources, in order to apply them
to the defence of Hydra and Napoli." The Admiral then
complains of libels published against three officers of his
squadron in a document published by the ex-Government
of Greece.

guished too as that Government .is hy the

be allowed to pass, unnoticed. We subjoin the article
that our readers may see that we have not spoken too
strongly- of it : •

PARES, SEPT. 2.—We have once more to deplore the
excesses of intolerance. An English Journal (The Truth-
teller) denounces to Europe atrocities committed in a
prison of Dublin, called the Richmond Penitentiary.
We have already announced that the Marquis of Wel-
lesley had ordered a rigorous inquiry to be set on foot to
ascertain the facts.

Violences have been exercised on prisoners to force
them to abjure their faith. We know now, says the
English Journal, and the Report of Commissioners charged
with the inquiry will soon become public, that the Go-
vernor of the prison employed instruments of torture to
constrain the Catholic prisoners to become Protestants.
The instruments have been found, and a blacksmith has
been examined who made one of a particular kind, to be
fastened to the head. This man declares, that having
been employed in fabricating these instruments, and in
fastening them to the heads of the unconvertible prisoners
(non conVertissibles), he imagined he was obeying the
will of. the Government, and not that of the Protestant
Inquisition.
The,otlicial Report of the inquiry, continues the Truth
Teller, will soon be printed. An Ecclesiastical Agent of
the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, aided by an advo-
cate and a short-hand writer, was present at every sitting
of the Commissioners.

The Correspondent of the Truth Teller writes to it :
" I have seen the instrument of torture, and I own that
I could not have believed that the heart of man
was capa-
ble of such inhumanity as to invent any thing of the kind."

The beneficial effects of the measure adopted by
His Majesty's Ministers, for the admission of Foreign
Oats and Pulse, begin already to be manifest. All
kinds of Grain met with a very dull sale in the Corn
Market yesterday, and the prices of all, with the ex-
ception of that of Barley, considerably declined. The
price of Wheat, of course, was not so much affected
as that of other descriptions of Grain ; Wheat, how-
ever, might be quoted about two shillings a quarter,
and Oats and Rye, full six shillings a quarter lower.
Beans and Peas declined in value in about the same
proportion, and an expectation was entertained that
the market would decline more considerably in the
course of a few days. Had it not been for the ac-
counts of the very unfavourable nature of the harvests
in the North of Europe, a much more important fall
,in the value of all sorts of Grain would have taken
place ; reports were even circulated, that the Conti-
nental posts would be shut for the exportation of Corn,
but there is no ground for entertaining such a belief,
and we have no doubt, that the influence of His MA-
JESTY'S Order in Council, will be very considerable
within a short period from the present time.

The Courier and Nett' Times, 'both fall into, the
error of the Hamburgh Papers, in calling our Minister
at Stockholm Sir B. BLOOMFIELD. These papers
at any rate ought to have known, that Sir B. BLOOM-
FIELD was sometime since created an Irish Peer, by
the title of Baron BLOOMFIELD.

We regret to announce that the apprehensions
which we expressed in our Paper of yesterday, of the
alarming nature of the illness with which Lord GIF.-
,ORD had been attacked at Dover, have been realized.
His Lordship expired yesterday morning at 'six o'clOck,
after two days' extreme suffering from inflammation of
the bowels. By the death of Lord GIFFORD, the
high offices of Deputy Speaker of the House of
Lords, and Master of the Rolls, become vacant.
His Lordship's professional career was marked by
the most extraordinary success of which there is an
instance on record. Possessing neither the advantages
of birth, nor splendid education, and. entering at first
in the lowest branch of the' profession, he in the
course of a very few years attained the very highest
honours and 'emoluments of the Bar and of the Benefi—
eld a British Peerage. His first advancement in his
Profession was, we believe, owing to the partiality of
the late Sir V. Glass; for, although no one can deny
that he Possessed great knowledge of the Law, and
acuteness in reasoning, still his talents were not
of that order to command the extraordinary rapidity
of his advancement, without the combination of a
number r
of .ortintous circumstances. Being
ed Solicitor-General in May, appoint-
1817, he succeeded
to the office of Attorney-General in July, 1819,
and the mode in which he fulfilled the duties of
that
important post, particularly during the proceed-
ings against the late Queen, are known to every one.
He accepted in 1824 the Chief Justiceship of the
Common Pleas, which he had declined on a former
vacancy soon after he became Attorney-General;
was created a Peer of Great Britain, by the title of
Baron GiWord of St. Leonard's, and. within a few
weeks afterwards was appointed Master of the Rolls'.
Lord GIFFORD was born on the 24th of February,
1779, and consequently wax in the 48th
married on the 6th* of A year. He

It is melancholy to think how few honest men are
fatilld to co-operate in a good cause ; but, if any one
doubts the truth of this observation, let him turn to
thereport of what transpired yesterday at a meeting of
holders of Greek Bonds, and then think of Greece
`unhappy Greece ! and her strangling friends—those
insidious patriots who held

the word of promise to her ear,
ur Bat broke it to her hope.
• •
We mot sufficiently express our indignation at the
ini4mous manner in which all that appertains to Greece
bein conducted in this country. Loan after
I;044 hai been raised from the generous people
2' England, who felt for Greece with a mother's
"t 1"; but the money that might have redeemed
ue
.hherties of Greece, prevented the loss of thou-
4, of her warriors, and tens of thousands of
lovely daughters and children ; that money as

never tent prom this country, excepting a sinail portion,
as if to tantalise • the struggling patriots in the hour of
their tribulation, with a foretaste of the blessings which
they might, but would not be allowed to enjoy.
And yet the people of England—nay, the friends of
Grecian independence throughout the world, were
gulled from time to time, with the mighty things in pro-
gress for the deliverance of Greece from her heathenish
and barbarous oppressors. Ships were. building—arms
were making—volunteers from every quarter were -in
motion—all to be directed by the most chivalrous—the
most enterprising Captain of the age—the mention of
whose name was a guarantee for the success of the
cause. All this sounded very well, and people waited
very patiently, because confident of the glorious, re-
sult, but they reckoned without their host. A
set of jugglers—mere cup-and-ball men, played ,
hocus-pocus with the money in a manner as
extraordinary as it was disgraceful. We do not
know who these parties are, and it would be well for
the cause of Greeee, if she were equally ignorant, but
one would suppose from they studious misapplication of
the money raised for the Greeks, that it was intended
-from the first for the benefit of those who now enjoy
their ill-gotten gains. The public wonder was often
expressed at the slow progress -made in the equipping
the armaments destined for Greece, but explanation,
there was none—at least, nothing satisfactory. Of the
last loan, amounting to about 1,200;0001., only
209,0001. was sent to Greece ! Oh, shame, where is
thy blush ? This loan must, indeed, have passed through
pitchy fingers, and the wonder is how any contrived to
escape their contamination. For better secrecy, frigates
were ordered to be built in America, but the Pacha of
Egypt would have equipped them in much shorter
time,—and what a price ! Then the steam-boats--
why if the managers were paid for ruining the Greek
cause, they could not have gone to work more heartily.
For lack of better reasons, the public were now and
then insulted with the selfish dissensions among the
Greek leaders, and the hopelessness of the cause,
because they could not agree. Another fabrication
was industriously circulated, that the money sent to
Greece was all perverted to selfish purposes, (would
that the only selfish knaves were in Greece) but the
only thing certain, was, that the cause of Greece was
every day getting worse, from the destitution of her
resources, and the treacherous rapacity of her monied
friends.—Oh ! it is galling to the spirit to contemplate
such a tissue of dishonourable proceedings.
The poor but brave Greeks had to contend against
the increasing power of an unsparing enemy, and
worse than all—the treachery of those who had sworn
to support them. No-,wonder that their country was
over-run, and their wives carried into captivity—that
Missolonghi, after sustaining a siege worthy the de-
scendants of those heroes who

" At Marathon and Leuctra bled,"
should have at last yielded to famine, though it de-
fied the sword. They must indeed have cold hearts
who saw all this, but did not employ the means to
avert it—they had the power omnipotent to save, but
would not. If these worthies have a conscience, we
trust it will be visited with " nightly horrors and daily
spectres," till they make some amends to poor, bleed-
ing, and calumniated Greece, for the miseries she has
suffered through their instrumentality.
As for those generous people who have advanced the
money, so shamefully misapplied, it is clear that they
can never receive a farthing until Greece is emanci-
pated. But one consolation remains--4he. indepen,
dente of Greece, may even yet be secured, if men of
common honesty and determination take up the cause,
and we are happy to perceive that such is likely to be the
case. Now that the secrets of the prison-house are '
exposed, the public may expect to get some edifying
lessons in the science of schenzing : but we hope for
the sake of humanity, as well as for the honour of
our country, that this foul stain upon her character
may not attach to any of her sons, whose high pride
has always been to foster liberty—not to overwhelm
those who are struggling to obtain it.

A Greek Captain is said to have betrayed the cause
of independence at Athens, and to have gone over to
the Turks with .500 men. The Pacha Kiutaky im-
mediately honoured him with the caftan, and dis-
charged the arrears of pay due to his troop.
