Yesterday afforded another proof of the com-
plete triumph of justice and loyalty over all the
delusions of the past and the arts of the sedi-
tious. Hii Maiesty's.Birth-day ivas diStinguished
by a Drawing-rootn, decidedly the most splendid
ever wi'tne'ssed in this or any other country ; and
a Bali.of. unparalleled magnificence closed the
cOehrationof the happy occasion.. Every thing
coviibined to render the day one 'of uniningled
festivity.. On high; all was brilliancy of sun-
shine:Hon earth,: all was good-will and exulta-
tion. Thousands of well-dressed individuals
crowded the Park at an early hour, and. lined all
the avenues to the Royal Palace. The metro-
polis sent. forth all her life and beauty to add a
beam to 'the festival, as well as to enjoy its splen-
dour ; 'whilst from the most distant provinces of
the empire, the Gentry and Nobility, all ranks
and all parties, flocked to. lay their homage at
the feet of their Sovereign. Never before
had such numbers in one single day assembled
round the Throne. Never had they.. been
animate i by purer sentiments and warmer
love. All felt that it was not to a mighty
King alone, but to an INJURED DEAN, that the
offering of their hearts was due. They did not
come to.bask in Royal splendour=they came to
assure:their common Father of the attachment
and admiration of his children. They came to
prove that whatever dangers might arise; they
had; espoused, and would support his cause.—
Nay, they came to vindicate the character of
their country ; for every knee bent in homage
before the Majesty: Of England, gave pledge that
disloyalty only' existed in the calumnies of a
mischievous or senseless few. The enemies to
constitutional monarchy, to order, and to reli-
gion, if any Such. remain in this country, have
received their death-blow. The land has risen,
as If by common consent,in behalf of the Throne
and the Altar-The cause of Justice is trium-
phfait—Loyalty is once more acknowledged and
practised as a virtue ; and 'peace and prosperity
will.naturally follow this return to sound prin-
ciples and public, duty.

Intelligence of some interest relative to the
contest between the Turks and the Greeks in the
Morea was received on Wednesday from Patras.
AVe collect the. details from letters direct from
that place, and from passages in the mercantile
correspondence both from Trieste and Leghorn.
It appears that.a,perfect understanding existed
between the northern and southern provinces of
Greece, and that a day was to be fixed by the
leaders in the north for a general rising in the
"Morea against the Turks. Two messengers,
charged with this important mission, arrived at
Patras in the beginning of, the l'ast month ; and
the leaders of the Greeks had determined, in
consequence of the instructions communicated to
them, that the Turks should be attacked on the
sth or 6th. By tile treachery, however, of
some individuals who were in the secret, their
intention became known to the Turks, whose
forces being inadequate. to the resistance of an
insurrectionary spirit in the. whole popula-
tion, they retired into the citadel and fortified
themselves in that position. Gaining confidence
from the apparent tranquillity of the town, they
shbrtly afterwards ventured out of theirentrench-
ments, and committed some acts of aggression
against the houses of those inhabitants who were
suspected of acting a conspkuous part in the de-
signs for the subversion of the Turkish power.
Among these was the Palace of the Bishop, which
mas Set on fire and deitioyed. These outrages
filled the Greeks with indignation : they col-
10;ted in large numbers,.and making a desperate
onset on the Turks, drove them back with,consi-
derable loss into the citadel. In that situation
the town remained when the accounts came
,
away: The Ttirkish garrisqn were cannonading
the town from. the citadel ; and. as the Greeks
were not in possession of any artillery, there was
no..prospect of their being able to make any im-
pression on it before the arrival of reinfOrcements
to the Turks should render all further resistance
unavailing.
