HINCLEY.

On Thursday morning the Vicar and principal Inhabitants
assembled at the Town Hall, and proceeded from thence, at-
tended by a band of music, Br,c,";-. to Church, where .a Sermon
was preached on the occasion, and the Coronation Anthem, the
National Anthem; and-appropriate Psalms, were sung by the
Choir. Immediately after Divine service an ox, 23 sheep,
18441b5. of bread, 28 strikes of potatoes, and 547 gallons of
ale, were placed before the pock (amounting to more than 4,000)
on 23 dinner tables in different parts of the towns. In the
afternoon a numerous and respectable party of the inhabitants,
attended by the neighbouring Magistrates, sat down to an ex-
cellent dinner at the Town Hall, THOMAS SANsomE, Esq.
in the Chair. Many appropriate toasts were drank, and the
company continued to enjoy themselves till " dusky night ap-
proached," when they retired much pleased with the festivities
of the day. We understand that (with the exception of the
circumstance which we are about to mention) the greatest
harmony, unanimity, and order, prevailed among all classes,
from the highest to the lowest ; but it is with much regret we
are obliged to record the prostitution of the sacerdotal tribune
to the delivery of some of the most improper and dangerous
observations.—lt was well observed by a worthy Magistrate
who was present, that " though it, is the boast and privilege of
" every Englishman to hold any opinions he pleases, there are
" times when, and places in which, it is not only IMPROPER,
" but INDECENT, to give utterance to those opinions." We
must deprecate the taking advantage of such an opportunity to
make the pulpit the vehicle of sentiments, which ought not to
be tolerated in popular or democratic oratory.
NORWICH, JULY 20.

The Coronation was celebrated in this city by every species of
rejoicing that can serve to fix such an event on the minds of the
inhabitants. The annunciation of the intended festivities, to-
gether with the necessary preparations, had already excited the
universal curiosity of the citizens, when the clear bright sun-
shine of the morning gave promise of enjoying the several parts
of the spectacle with the full delight that a brilliant atmos-
phere affords. The flags floated from the steeples of the
churches, the bells rung out their merry peals, the population
thronged into the streets, the firing of guns, and the strains
of music resounded at intervals throughout the city.—
In the market art Arch was erected which occupied the approach
to the Hall between the South entrance, but something below
the Hall itself, and the range of houses on the west or upper
side. In the centre of the spacious area, on the descent fronting
Davey-place, a lofty pile of wood for a bonfire was raised, and
just beyond, a bullock, weighing upwards of 60 stone, was seen
roasting entire between two fires within walls which inclosed
them. A platform was built in such a position as to receive the
bullock when cooked, trona whence it might be distributed to the
populace.—At half-past four about 300 gentlemen sat down
to a plain but substantial dinner, served at three tables, in St.
Andrew's Hall. The Mayor presided at the centre, and John
11 Morse and John Patteson, Esqrs. at the right and left tables.—
A Baron of beef, weighing 179 pounds, was served, but was
first paraded round the Hall, borne by four brave fellows
who fought at Nirateiloo, and preceded by two drummers and
fifers who had been in the same glorious action, playing
" 0 the Roast Beef of Old England," and by the two carvers.
—The cloth being drawn, the toasts were given by the
Mayor through his official toast-master, the, Beaman.—
In the evening splendid fireworks were exhibited. No situation
could be more favourable to such a display, and it did great
credit to the artist, who is a female (Mrs. Jones), and who in
person played them off. The bonfire, which formed the cli-
max, was lighted during the explosion of the fireworks, and a
little too early : its sudden flames threw red and lurid gleams
upon all the surrounding objects, which rose at once to sight
from the partial obscuration of the night. For the moon
had scarcely risen, when her face was veiled in misty
clouds, and darkness ministered to the effects of the fire. The
spacious avenue of Davey-place, which opened a direct
vista to the flaming pile, and the steps lending to the ditches,
were crowded with spectators ; the Castle Hill-too was covered,
where, viewed from the Market, they seemed to rise in suc-
cession (some What broken indeed by the intervening trees),
series above series, as in a vast amphitheatre. This perhaps
was the finest moment ofthe spectacle, and served to close with
becoming grandeur this scene of popular excitation. At one
o'clock the bonfire was extinguished, the sounds of rejoicing
gradually died away, and, the city sunk into its common and
nightly conditicin of ztoiaeleas tranquillity and repose.

LONDON,
SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1821.

We received, at a late hour this day, the Paris
Journals of Wednesday, which contain further
accounts of advantages gained by the Greeks
over the Turks. Letters from Odessa, of the
22d ultimo, state, that the fleet fitted out by the
Porte at such enormous expence, and which
passed through the Dardanelles on the 15th or
16th of last month, in order to cruize in the Ar-
chipelago, was met by the Greek fleet, near the
island of Mitylene. An obstinate action ensued,
which terminated in favour of the Greeks, who
succeeded in capturing two frigates, and several
other vessels of a smaller class. The remainder
of the Ottoman fleet escaped. A line of battle
ship, which formed part of this squadron, re-
turned to Constantinople, much damaged, with
the disastrous intelligence. Since the receipt of
this news, Constantinople resembles a town taken
by assault ; several of the streets are filled with
dead bodies, victims to the fury of the Turks,
and numbers of Greeks have been carried out
into the Bosphorus and drowned ; fifty-one
Priests were massacred during the celebration of
Divine Service, and the most horrid indignities
were practised on their mangled corpses.

The Turkish fleet at anchor in the Port of
Patras, in the Morea, has been captured, by
boarding by another Greek squadron ; and sub-
sequent accounts report that the Fort of Patras,
and several other fortified places in the Morea,
have fallen into the hands of the Greeks.

Little hopes are entertained of the adjustment
of the differences between Russia and the Porte.
The general opinion is, that war will be imme-
diately declared by those two Powers ; and what
gives greater credibility to this apprehension is,
that both Austria and Prussia are making large
military preparations.—lt is conjectured that
both of them will adopt the same line of policy
in the approaching contest : but what that line of
policy may be still remains doubtful.
