NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 9.—The Active transport,
Lieutenant Pritchard, arrived here on Monday, from
the Leeward Islands, with invalids, long service
men, and widows and orphans of deceased soldiers.
The Icarus, 10 guns, was at Barbadoes ; the Victor,
15 guns, was cruising ; the Aurora frigate and the
Harlequin sloop had left Barbadoes for Jamaica, on
their way to England; the Barham, 50 guns, had
returned to Jamaica ; the Harpy, 10 guns, had left
St. Kitts for New Providence. A beautiful and
powerful Dutch steam-boat had recently arrived
from Holland with a new Governor for St. Eustatia;
she mounted 10 guns, and was intended to cruize
against the many pirates which still infest the dif-
ferent islands. The station was very healthy. The
troops were stationed as follow :—The Ist Royals
and the Tat West India regiment were at Trinidad
and Barbadoes ; the 19th and 86th at Barbadoes ;
25th at Demarara ; 35th at St. Lucia and Dominica;
2d battalion 60th at Berbice and Demarara; 93d at
Antigua and St. Kitts.
On Sunday arrived the Nestor, transport, Lieut.
Lester, from the River St. Lawrence; she has
brought home Ordnance Stores, limited servicemen,
and invalids. The Amity, transport, with a detach-
ment of the Staff Corps, had arrived at Quebec.
Lord Dalhousie was preparing to return to England
on leave, and would leave the charge of the two
Canadas, as well as Nova Scotia, in the hands of
Sir James Kempt, who was shortly expected from
Halifax, in the Challenger frigate, Captain Fitz-
ilarence.
The Royal Sovereign yacht, bearing the flag of
the Lord High Admiral, attended by the Procris,
10, and (lonflance steamer, arrived at Plymouth, on
Sunday afternoon, having parted from the Prince
Regent (with the flag of Sir Henry Blackwood),
the Britannia, and Orestes, which ships had put into
Torbay. The Royal Sovereign yacht sailed from
Plymouth on Monday, and past this port on Tues-
day night for the eastward. His Royal Highness
reached the Admiralty on Thursday.
The Russian Admiral has persevered to the utmost
in obeying the orders of his Sovereign, not to enter
an English port. Since the squadron has passed the
Isle of Wight, it has had to contend with contrary
winds. On Saturday it was off the Lizard, with
the wind blowing fresh from the westward. On
the following day, our squadron, with the Lord High
Admiral, found it necessary to bear up, yet the Rus-
iian squadron continued its course, and on Thursday
morning was 14 leagues S.W. of Scilly, when the
pilots, who arrived this morning at day-light, left it.
At that time the wind was westerly, and has con-
tinued west and south-west, and blown a gale. The
squadron may probably get into Brest or Rochfort,
our can hardly be expected to keep the sea.
The Wellesley, 74, with the flag of Vice-Admiral
Sir Pulteney Malcolm, passed Gibraltar on the 13th
ult. She did not come to anchor, but left despatches
for the Governor.

The Meteor Bomb, Commander David Hope,
now fitting at Plymouth, will proceed with all de-
spatch to the Mediterranean.
A report is in circulation of the appointment of
Sir John Gore to succeed Rear-Admiral Gage in
the command of the naval force in the East Indies.
The Rear-Admiral, we have heard, is desirous of re-
turning to England, in consequence of ill-health.
Two frigates have been laid down at one of the
naval yards, to carry twenty-six 32-pounders on the
main deck, and fourteen 32-pounders on the quarter-
deck and forecastle. They are to be two feet broader
than our present 46-gun ships, and will be roomy
powerful men-of-war.
The Diadem transport is ordered to take provi-
sions to Rio de Janeiro; the Britomart transport,
to take stores to the Coast of Africa; and the Wil-
iiam Harris transport, to carry supplies to the Island
of Ascension.

A boat belonging to the Cracker cutter, employ-
ed in looking out for smugglers, was upset on Wed-
nesday evening in Chichester harbour. .By the great
exertions of the people of Bosham, particularly of
John Alemore, the crew were picked up, with the
exception of John Griffiths, a pilot, who was un-
fortunately- drowned. •
His Highness Prince Maximilian of Bavaria, the
lr to that Throne, arrived at the George Inn,
here, on Sunday. On Monday and Tuesday he
visited the Flag-ship, Dock-yard, Gun-wharf, and the
Public Establishments, escorted by the Naval Cora-
mander-in-Chief and the Lieutenant-Governor. His
Highness left on Tuesday afternoon for Brighton.
The ensuing week affords a prospect of the most '
ample amusement here, to those who are gratified by
such enlivening scenes ; first, in the contest between
the several yachts, for his Majesty's cup, value one
hundred guineas (the cup is truly elegant in its
execution), which will be sailed for on Tuesday.
The vessels will start from Cowes about eleven
o'clock, and will sail round\the Nab Light, present-
;n7 to the spectators on our fortifications, and on
.t..;outhae.a. Beach, a most interesting sight, and a per..
feet view of the most critical part of the ra'.e. On
Wednesday, our first day's Regatta—the attractions
are vessels sailing, boats sailing, and rowing, for
liberal prizes; and in the evening a grand display of
lire-works, on the glacis. On Thursday, the Ladies'
Challenge Cup, value 250 guineas, will be sailed
for from Cowes round the Nab Light. The winner
of this cup must maintain his pre-eminence for three
ltecessive years; at present it is held by the Earl
,of Belfast, who won it last year, for the first time.
several vessels have entered the lists against his
Lordship. On Friday, our second day's Regatta
will take place, when a most superb Gold Cup,
called the Royal Gloucester Cup, value 100 guineas,
will be contended for by the largest class yachts ;
and several matches of sailing wherries, rowing gal-
leys, and prizes for the ordinary boats, will give life
And spirit to Spithead. In the evening a 134 will
lie hkld at the Royal Clarence Rooms, on Southsea
Beach; and another Ball, called the Friendly Sub-
4-ription will take place at the Friendly So-
, iety s Room, near St. Paul's Chapel.
A seizure of I 1 pieces of silk, about 2,500 yards,
was made this week on tho Point; these goods were
monveved from Cowes in the steam-vessel.
The sale of ladies' ornamental work, for the bene-
fit of the Infant School at the New Buildings, Port-
ea, on Tuesday last, at the Green-row Room wil9
well attended; and the articles sold (many of which
were of good taste and execution) amounted to

CHESS.—MATCH BETWEEN THE LONDON
AND EDINBURGH CLUB 9. This extraordinary match,which
commenced on the 24th of April, 1524, has just terminated
in favour of the Edinburgh
players—the fifth game, on
the result of which the match latterly depended, having
been resigned by the London Clnh on the Slat of July.
There does not appear to he any decided error in this
game. The other games resulted as follows:—The first
was drawn at the 56th move; the second was won by the
Edinburgh Club at the 52d move; the third, which lasted
upwards of three years, and is perhaps the finest game of
the match, was drawn at the 99th move; and the fourth
was won by the London players on the 55th move. We
understand the greatest cordiality has prevailed between the
Clubs during, the match—Caledonian Mercury/.'NE WEATHER AND TILE CROPS. The
wheat harvest has commenced in the West-Riding of York-
shire, on a pretty extensive scale. In the parish of Mir-

nesday, '
actively employed in ten or a dozen fields and in
she less fertile districts around us the corn is nearly ripe
for harvest. The weather still continues
gloomy, but the
showers are only occasional, and there is by no means that
soaking and long-continued rain which, in the summer of
of IS IG, ruined the crops. The corn markets at present
may be considered "weather markets ;" the price of grain
is, however, pretty steady, though rather on the decline.

that the corn harvest treads upon the heels of the hay bar.

LONDON.
MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 11, 1828.

The French Papers of Friday contain no
positive news from the Theatre of War, later
than what we gave in our parer of Saturday,
through the medium of the Hamburgh Re-
porter.

The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 4th of Aug.,
says that the Turkish garrison of Giergevo had
made a sally with such effect as to induce the
Russians to retire till they received reinforce-
ments. This we are rather inclined to doubt,
forshould
the R
Russians not be strong

making the most energetic defence in all their
fortresses which their means admit of. And yet
it is reported in this Doper that they are actually
disposed to abandon the strong hold of Sehoumla,
and to retire upon Adrianople. This appears
so improbable that we will not credit it till it
comes in a much more authentic shape :

13ISTRITZ, JULY O.

The Turkish garrison of Giergevo has made a vigorous
Silly, in-Consequence of which the Russian corps of olser-
v,.tion is said to have retired to Daia, till the arrival of re-
11,1oreeinents with the teavy- artillery from Brailow. 'flit

building of the bridge at Oltenitza, if it is not now useless,
is likely to require considerable time to complete it. The
Turks in Silistria are raising entrenchments and preparing
for a vigorous defence. The number of oxen required by
the Russians in Wallachia is not 3,600, but 7,500.
Beside thele, each district must furnish 500. All the
hay and corn are also put in requisition. A private
person has offered to furnish the 7,500 oxen at 16 florins
(convention money) per head. Many volunteers are en-
listed in Wallachia. The Chief Physician of the Russian
Army will not allow the epidemic at Bucharest to be the
real plague. The conquest of Anapa, the staple place of
the Russian slave trade, and the key to the sea of Azoff, is
a most important acquisition to Russia.
BUCHAREST, JULY 15.

Private letters from Gallax say, that the Russian van
guard had a sharp engagement on the Sth of July, with a
corps of Turkish cavalry near Bazardjik, the result of
which seemed at first doubtful, though it ended to the ad-
vantage of the Russians. The Turks, say the letters,
were compelled on the following day to abandon the ad-
vantageous position of Kudzuck, and to retire to the en-
trenchments of Reghirli, which are the key of the passes of
Shumla. It is believed here that the strong position of
Shumla will be speedily abandoned by the Turks, and
that the Russian army will advance without much oppo-
sition against Adrianople.
VIENNA, Ju Ix 30. —Metall. 93. ; Bank Shares 1066}.

By an arrival from Lima we have obtained a
few particulars of the earthquake which took
place there on the 30th of last March. The fact
of the earthquake having occurred, we were pre-
viously acquainted with, through the American
Papers, about three weeks ago :

(From the Peruvian Mercury, Tuesday, April 1, 1828.)
LlMA.—The day before yesterday (Sunday, the 30th
March), at 35 minutes past seven in the morning, there
was experienced in this capital one of the mast extraordi-
nary earthquakes, as well from its duration as its violence.
Its direction was from east to west, and 45 seconds of
shaking has thrown down some old edifices, and those
which remain are much injured. The steeples of the
churches, and particularly their cupolas, have been all of
them rent—the ornaments of plaster and kick have fallen
down, and it may be said with certainty that not one single
house remains without requiring some repairs.
By a most happy protection of Heaven, the number of
deaths do not reach forty ; whereas, in former epochs,
after such an earthquake, the city has been rendered almost
desolate, from the excessive number of deaths.
The Government has taken the most efficacious mea-
sures to avoid the disasters which are wont to result upon
like occasions, destining military bodies to the pulling down
of those buildings which threaten destruction, and pro-
hibiting for the present the running of carriages in the
city.

The Nuremburgh Correspondent, of the 3(1
instant, contains no news of any interest. The
King of BAVARIA had gone to the Baths, at
Bruckenati, for the improvement of his health.

According to the Allgenzeine Zeitung of the
3d inst. the PORTE received, on the 27th of
June, through the Ambassador of the Nether-
lands, a letter from Count Gut LLEMINOT, dated
Corfu, June 14, declining the invitation made
him of returning to Constantinople. It appeared
quite confounded at this, though it was generally
expected in the palace of the GRAND VIZIER, at
which the Tziaouch Bachi, who was Plenipo-
tentiary at Akermann, was present. It is not
exactly known what was resolved upon in this
Council, but it is supposed that fresh proposals
will be made to the Courts of Paris and London,
though a hope is still cherished that Mr.
STRATFORD CANNING will accept the invita-
tion and soon return to Constantinople. It is
remarkable what confidence the Ottoman Mi-
nisters have in the new English Ministry, and
how implicitly they helipvp that they shall have
its support, though they cannot allege any
public act to justify this confidence. We
are much mistaken if the Duke himself
could assign any satisfactory reason for this blind
confidence of his friend the Grand SULTAN,
unless it be the recall of that brave officer, Sir
EDWARD CODRINGTON.

The following is from a French Paper re-
ceived this morning by the Mail :

" From persons well informed, we have the following
intelligence,which was spread in the Saloons at Paris :
" The Porte has decided to acknowledge, in regard to
her, the stipulations of the Treaty of the 6th July.
The Russians alarmed at the ravages which the pestilence
has made in the provinces behind her, are disposed to ter-
minate gloriously tho campaign by the deliverance of
Greece, and the occupation of some strong places on the
Danube and on the Black Sea. The evacuation of
the Morea is already decided on by Ibrahim Pacha,
Admiral De Rigny only waits the coming of a General.
In this case the expedition will not take place, and a part
of the troops assembled at Toulon will be employed against
the Regent of Algiers.
Consols for Account S7ki.

We appeal to those of our readers, whose
means enable them to second the charitable im-
pulses of the heart by a timely donation, to peruse
the following extract from the Address of the
Governors of the Licensed Victuallers' Asylum—
an establishment which has been instituted with
the most humane liberality, and whose object it
is to shed the rays of comfort round the retire-
ment of those who in their morning of life were
the first to hold out the hand of benevolence to
their brethren in distress. We trust that the
following simple but forcible address will open
the purses of those whose feelings are always
alive to benevolence, when a proper opportunity
presents itself, and none can be more so than the
present :

" The Governors of the Licensed Victuallers' Asylum
are proud to acknowledge the very great support the In-
stitution has already received from their fellow Tradesmen.
It is their duty however to state, that much remains to be
done to perfect the noble work they have had de happiness
to begin. It is generally known that they purchased
freehold land some time since, and are now erecting forty-
three houses to form the centre of the Asylum. The present
funds are considerably short of the amount necessary to com-
plete that part of the building; but the confidence of the
Governors in the liberality of their brethren to enable them,
not only to meet that deficiency, lint to complete de whole
superstructure, is strengthened by what they have already
done; and the Governors being compelled now to make a
further call on them, are assured, that ,in a cause like this,
in which every Licensed Victualler is deeply interested, it
will he cheerfully attended to, and effectually met.
" The Governors anticipate that in October next they
will be prepared to proceed to an Election of proper objects
for the occupation of the houses."

It will be seen by an article from liroadstairs,
that the Lord Bishop of BARBADOES has ar-
rived in this country for the benefit of his
health. He has just come too late to be Arch-
bishop of CANTERBURY.

The Morning Advertiser says that young
NAPOLEON is to supplant Don 'Vim uRt, in the
affections of DONNA MARIA DA GLoRIA.—
The match is not at all improbable, but how
will the BOURBONS of France like a rival so
near the throne of his father ? The elements of
a general war are busily at work at this moment.

We direct attention to an article from the
Times of thi,, morning, under the Spirit of the
Jouniak, by sybieh it will be seen that

the Egyptians ate now seriously bent upon
evacuating the Morea, and yet the French
Expedition is determined upon proceeding
thither !—aye, and the Navy of England
is to transport a great portion of the troops.
The Duke of WELLINGTON is even more
condescending than Lord CASTLEREAGH Of
old, and that much to the satisfaction of our
polite neighbours. We have not heard whether
the Austrians are to get a subsidy to enable them
to take possession of Bosnia and Servia for their
own benefit.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
ROBINSON V. DICKENSON.

The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that in this case he
felt considerable difficulty. In contemplation of a marriage
the lady made a settlement of her real and the gentleman
of his personal estate. The marriage took place, but which
was subsequently declared to be void by the Ecclesiastical
Court. After this decision the two parties executed in-
struments, by which they declared their original settlement
to be null, and reciting, that should they marry again, it
would be on terms to be at a future period to be agreed
upon. After this, a question arose in the Court of Common
Pleas, upon which the lady's original settlement of her real
estate was held to be operative; and the difficulty his Lordship
now had was to know why the same law was not to be
meeted respecting the gentleman's original settlement.
Lie wished to know whether the bar could explain this ?
31r. SHGDEN said the case was before the Court, and
upon it the decision would have to be made.
His Loaostor promised to dispose of the case as it stood
before him on Wednesday.
The Court sat on lunatic petitions.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
GREEN V. GREEN.

An application was made to-day, by Mr. SUCIDEK, that
the defendants (three brothers, named Green) should,be
restrained from bringing any actions for false imprison-
ment against certain parties who had been concerned in
their arrest under an order of the Court. The defendants
were arrested upon a process of centempt ; but his Ho-
nour was pleased to direct their discharge, on the ground
that the proceedings were irregular. They have since
commenced actions for false imprisonment, which it was
the object of the present application to restrain.
An objection was taken by Mr. AGAR to the form of
Mr. Sugden's motion, and it was ordered to stand over
until Thursday, in order that a fresh notice of motion
might be given, and the case be then decided upon its merits.
