[Extract of a Letter from Leghorn, dated Sept. 22.1

" The tender of Admiral Sir G. 11,10013,1: ar—
rived this morning in 15 days from Corfu, a"4
brings information that in the IVorea the GreelLs
have taken possession of Navarrino and Corrool-
At Zante the news had arrived that the Ottomau
squadron had been attacked by the Greeks, lithe'
had taken and burnt 17 transports ; and that the
Ottoman fleet was situated in the Channel Of
Scio for fear of the Greeks, who had a tleet of
upwards of 50 vessels, each manned with about
WO men. Every thing was quiet at Smyrna and
Constantinople."

The French Papers of Wednesday, ThursdaY,Y
and Friday last, arrived this rooming, and last
night. We have given amplo extracts from there
in our preceding columns, from which it will be
observed that the prevailing opinion in Ger''
many and Russia is, that war will take place
between Russia and Turkey. The desire °I,
attacking the Turks, and a strong interest in:.
favour of the Greeks, are universal through°.
every part of the Russian dominions. The 1117:
nister of Public Instruction, Prince GA1%01112'1;
has, with the consent of the Emperor .0.-f'
ANDER, appealed to the public generosity
%-
behalf of the Greeks who, have sought ref`l6',
in the States of Russia; and this appeal has oo
been made in vain, for large subscriptions were
immediately raised, and have been sent to the
Military Governor of the Chersonesus for distri-
bution.

TILE KING.—An article of the 30th ult. from
Brussels, states the following particulars witlf
respect to our Sovereign •----" All the necw-

t4rY arrangements had been made th*G rosinq
for the departure of King GEORGE IV. when
a slight indisposition experienced by his MA-
4ZsTY, caused his journey to be postponed
tin to-morrow. It is thought, however, that
he will attend the Theatre of the Park this
evening, with the Royal Family. The fa-
cade of the Theatre is to be illuminated with
coloured lamps, as on the preceding nights. In
the course of the morning their Royal Ilighnesses
the young Princes, sons of the Prince of Orange,
visited the King of England in his hotel. If we
are to credit reports, which proceed from a re-
spectable source, his Majesty intends, at his re-
turn from Hanover, to pay a second visit to our
Court. Until now it appears that his Majesty
will neither go to Vienna nor to Paris."
A

_t a moment when the dismissal of Sir Ro-
BLAT AVILsoN from the Army has excited so
moth curiosity and agitation in the public mind,
it ovay be proper to recal the attention of our
Readers to a few facts, stated in an extract from
" Tile British Monitor," in another column.—
tut still, however faithful may he the memory
of the Monitor, as to the more remote transac-
ti°43 to which he alludes
, he seems to be as un-
acquainted- as the Public care with thepartiCular
and recent facts which led to Sir RO.BERT'S dis-
nli"i". Respecting those facts, the Public are
naturally deeply anxious to 'be informed ; and
ire .think it is an anxiety which should in
-,"'ne Way or other be gratified. Sir -ROBERT
IVILsov, notwithstanding his manifold incon-
slstencies, and notwithstanding his exceedingly
reprehensible conduct, as a British' Officer,
in the anir of LAVALETTE, has occupied a con-
siderable space in. the notice of the English
People. Neither the English Governtnerit nor
tire English Nation are too ready to merge all re-
collection-of the services of public 'characters in
their public "offences, nor to suffer their resent-
Inent at the one to obliterate the. traces of _admi-
rWrt, ova ation and gratitude for the other. Sir ROBERT
during many years., and in various ar-
duous situations, served his country with fidelity
411(I zeal. In the •Guerilla- Warfare for the libe-
rati" of Spain he was particularly active and
"urageons ; and both as a military and diploma-
tic character his conduct generally entitled hi.n
to dis.tinction. Though the people of this coun-
try, therefore, could not without 'indignation be-
ligld his unwarrantable conduct in France,—
!hough they have lamented to see him associat-
ing with the turbulent and disaffected members
of .the community,- and forward to join in the
koat outrageous, invectives against those very
Authorities with whom and for whom he
ltunself formerly acted,--though they beheld
l'ol with alarm and horror,. following in the
l'iotpus train of her late MAJ Esrk, and'present at
Me- tumultuous and disgraceful proceedings which
attended her funeral, still they are unwilling to
a4.elieve him guilty of any thing, on this last occa-
4on, so flagrantly improper as to deserve the severe
1;11. nishroeut with which it has beeu• visited. His
itt:stnission from the army for the affair of LAVA..
c7TE would
riuse the not have excited surprise ; be-
offence was publicly known, -and was
j such a nature as to, have justified such a
i;slark of displeasure : but his dismission for hay.-
merely (as far as the public yet know)
t'Ltended -the funeral of the QUEEN, has of
excited the most intense _curiosity- to learn
l'i,Lat Were tile circumstancesr-in his conduct on
vi a.t occasion whist' have been thus severely
slited• The Government have no doubt satis-
themselves that that- conduct Was improper;
a:IdL,
Sir ItoncaT, while on half-pay, was not
ritllenable to a Court.,Martial, perhaps there was
..t), other mode of punishment but by his dismissal.
4;:e Public, however, have. on such an occa-
ive think, a right to be satisfied as well
fa the Government, and we hope that satis-
lon will be given, either by an .official state-
to. ".t of the affair, or by bringing Sir gonEnT to
sel,` 41 before a-Court of Justice.—We have our-
alidves made diligent inquiry into this mysterious
sePainful transaction, and have obtained pos-
4so" of a number of facts, which, however,
terser the reserve maintained in the official guar-
vul We do 'not feel ourselves at liberty to di-
.
pri •We may, however, state without unpro-
that not less than ten depositions were
14711 as to the conduct of Sir ROBERT at her
be •ItsTY's funeral, and that, if those depositions
.substautially true., his dismission from the
ritish army
was unavoidable.
