• A Pamphlet has recently appeared under this
title, trom the pen of an ()dicer swho, we hurl
Gas resided in those tatesfor some years.. It is
difttributed into ilistinct parts, witch develop
many interesting particulars relative to the present
state of affairs in that quarter, and form
.shoge-
cher a very
,acceptable addition to e the xisting'
stock of information respecting moiler') Greece.
One of these divisions t: particulfly claim the
attention of Antiquaries and Lover`i or Art, as it
pill tycall Many reeollectious associated wi h the
ancient Blot its of that classic country. It relates
to a project for Armorial Bearings, proposed by
the Author for the lunian:lslands, plostiant to art
intimation train Government, after the establish-
ment off-this .tita.te under British prbtection. Ilis
plan is to select for the Arms of each I shi
11A
the
embleMs fortnd on its ancient coins. The details
of the project, and the correspondence relative to
it, are introduced by the following remarks :

" The establishment of a. Coat of Arms for the
lonian Islands, originated in a project which I
cotnmunicated to his Excellency. Sir Thomas
land in June, 1816, and which was approved after
due consideration, both in England -and in thoso
Isl'ands. •1. was, therefore, rather surprised of
late, on seeing at the house of Mr. Halthide, en-
graver, some seals, upon which be was engaged,
after drawings furnished. to him from the Office
of the Secretary of -State. Although these seals
are evidently framed upon by designs, the latter
have been so grossly mutilated, as not only to
frustrate the original intention of awakening in
the winds of the lonian people proud recollections
of their former history, Got to rippear in the eyes
of every person- of taste altogether futile and in.
cor•skteitt.

" It is unnecessary to advert to all the changes
that have been made in the original composition,
di awing, figures, legends, &c. I shall merely
point out the seal for the small sland of Paso,
which is as large, if not larger, than the Great
Seal of the United Kingdom of Great Witt:din and
Ireland. It represents a trident, an emblem,
which, among the ancients, conveyed the idea of
maritime power, and which consequently never
was, nor Could' be, applicable to an island, the
name of which has not even been recorded in his-
tory, and of which the whole nasal resources
could, at no priori, have exceeded the possession
of a fe'w ffshing boats.
" I shoufil not have noticed this affair of the
seals, if the correspondence, and discuision re-
slfecting tt,liad riot made known to many persons
ai well iu this country as in, the lonian Istards,,
that the original project was mine; and that con-
seprently I
,have a good chance of Sharing the ri-
dicule,- which will, no doubt, attach to the under-
taking, if completed according to the plan which►
has been Subsequently adopted."

calling on the Jury to give such damages as the

IMTaACT OP A LETTeat DATED TRINIDAD, APRIL 7.
Vesterday there was ass arrival here from Maturin,bring-
ing accounts of a battle haring been fought at San Fernando,
is, which the Royalists were defeated with loss of 2,000 men,
and also that a stroag position its front of Cumatta had been
fqrced. We are luokiug anxiously for ass ars-iv Ai from An-
gostura with the above good stews confiriued, which if true
t‘a it full extent, decides the business. It is said, the v..-bole
the British who sailed in• December, were iv actinn, and
that it was all accoatplishrd at the point of the bayonet by
theist. It appears, however, they would not stir a step with-
out cash, fur which all the cattle, ffi.c. were put in requisition,
and the I,s-cidace ()ethic prizes at It.trgarita. Admiral Brion

another British vessel, having large quantities of

(Morning Herald.]
ilia Grace the Duke of Bedford, at the com-
mencement of last week, had two interviews with
the Prince Regent at the house, No. 5, Marlbo-
rough-cow, Brighton, (within the precincts of
tt,e Pavilion) then occupied by Lord Williatn
Goreloo, who, it is said, was the only person pre-
sent on each occasion. It is contoured that the
staTe of political parties in the country was the
sohject of conversation. Some say that the in-
terview was at thee inilance of the Noble Duke
others helese that it solely origivated with his
Royal Highness. _
