PnEMATITIIE INTERMENT.—TiIe Wexford Herald' of
June 25, mentions a shocking event which had amtirel
in that town :—Stephen Evans, a Welshman, one of III?
hands of the Harriol, of Milford, lying at Custom-Ito:14.1
Quay, was buried in Selskar Church-yard at one o'clock in
the afternoon of the 21st. On the next day about tils same
hour, two boys climbed the wall of the church-yard, for •the
purpose of robbing a bird's nest. One of them stood on the
grave in which Evans was interred ; and wbile the other was
ascending for the iwet, he called out to him that he heard a
strange noise in the grave, in consequence of which they Unine-
diately gave the alarm. An immense concourse of people so3:1

It appears from SaturdaY's debate,- that
on
Tiprsday last, and riot berore,Ahe Queen th,ght
proper to lay before the Privy -Council F.bme
Claim, the particulars of which are not fully
stated, relative to her stippo-sed right of being
present at the Coronation. Although w are not
aware of any right that her Majesty has, con:.
nected- with this solemnity, although if she have
any, her Advisers must have been guilty of very
gross neglect in.not recommending it to, her to
-urge it earlier; yet we rejoice that the claim is
put in the way of legal. investigatiOn ; since it
decided upon by the proper constitu-
tional authority, to -which, of course, her 'Ma-
jesty will feel-herielf-Lound to pay implicit obe-
diecce.—While we are upon this subject, we
cannot forbear noticing, with the utmost
indig-
nation; .the disgraceful manner in ‘-vhich some
persons are reported to have spoken of the august
and solemn ceremony of the Coronation ; which,
in their flippant ignorance, they have presumed
to describe as a vain and insignificant piece of
pageantry. The best excuse that can be found
for such persons is, that they know as little of the
principles of our free Government-as they do
of the Veneration and respett due to a King
of England. What greater hoMage can be
rendered to genuine Liberty, thnn that a
mighty Monarch, surrounded with his Nobility,
and armed Guards,in the Presence of his people,
and before the altar of Almighty God, should
'solemnly bind himself by oath to rule according
to the laws of the land? This is at once
strengthening the temporal power by a spiritual
sanction, and restraining it within the boundaries
of a free and -equal Constitution. Let it be re-
iucmbered, that besides taking the Coronation
Oath, the King joins in the solemnities of prayer
and thanksgiving; that he is anointed and
.blessed by the .Chief Minister of Iteligion ; and
finally, that he partakes of the Holy Sacrament,
as the highest and most awful pledge that can be
-given of his resolution to preserve- inviolate the.
bond which unites him with his people. It is
possible that these sacred 'rites and ceremonies
may appear -less' weighty in-the eyes of those
who do not belong to the Church of England•;
but no one can speak of them with light-and yid-
-gar-contempt, -whose mind is not alike destitute
of relisious principle) and of genuine loyalty.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
The proceedings in the • House of Commons ond
Saturday last •We-re extremely interesting.
subject of the Queen's right to be crownt7d along
with the King was brought incidentally forward,
and it will be seen from what fell. from Lord
Londonderry that the claim lately preferred by
the Queen has caused no small
.degree of embar-
rassment. Lord Londonderry said. that Ministers
bad decided against advising the Queen to be
crowned as matter of grace and favour, but be
. wished it to be understood that they had come to
,no determination with respect to the question of
Her Majesty, it appears, has presented two
liTemorials on this subject; the first on Monday last,
to which an answer was returned on Thursday,
that it had been laid before the Law Officers of
the Crown; and a second on Saturday last,
clainfing to be heard by her Counsel before the
Privy 'Council on the• question of right, to which
no answer has yet been returned. The language
of Lord Londonderry,: and the time which has
elapsed since the first. Memorial Was laid before
the Law Officers of the Crown, lead to the con-
clusion, that it is-every thing but certain that the
King can Le crowned without the Qupee. If he
cannot, the next question which occurs is, is it
probable thatthe Coronation will be. persisted in
under such circumstances ? Notwithstanding all
the preparations., it appears, therefore, to be by
no means a matter of certainty that we shall have
a Coronation.

[BRITISH PRESS]
An extremely interesting-conversation arose in
the Itonseof Commons on Saturday evening upon
the subject of the Queens claim to share. the
honours of- the approaching Coronation. From
the part which• Mr. Denman and the Marquess of
Londonderry bore in this. conversation, we can
collect that, the Queen on Monday last, for the
,first time, made a formal application to the Privy
Council, deMariding, as.'of right, that she should
be crowned at the .same time With her... Royal
Consort, and on-Saturday morning her. Majesty.
:transmitted a further memorial to the 'Privy
Council; desiring that 'she Might be heard by her
Counsel is support of her claim. •The .tub-;
ject has, according to the stateinent of the INiar-
guess of Londonderry, been submitted by the
Privy Council to the opinion of the Law Officers
of the Crown, for. the purpose of asce.rtaining, in
the first instance, how far the • Queen's claim is.,
cons'stent with, the laws-arid usages of this realm ;
but therNoble-Marquess-dicl.not.-intimate whether
the judgnriit,of. the Council were eventually to.
.be governed:lg the tenor-of the report which may
lie returned by the King's Attorney, Solicitor,
and Advocate-General, The Privy Council have,
in fact, long.sioce arrived at a conclusion upon
this point, *chick 'the -several members -of it
have not affected to_ conceal or deny, and which
is indeed .avovi4d tobe• hostile to the spirit of the
,claim now. preferred by .the Queen. From this
conclu,ion. it is not•lroliable that any report of the
Law Officers.oftheCrown could induce them to
depart, and it was ill, this feeling that the Mar.;
quess of Londonderry declared in the House of
Commons on Saturday evening, that,-so far•as hiS
-advice could exercise, any influence, her Majesty
should not be admitted to participate iu the ho-
nours of. the Coronation:.

[EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM THE isAn.]
" I. will row. impart to you an abatratt of the news which,
during the last few weeks, has reached me from many quarters,
respecting. the revolt of the Greeks and their proceedings. I am
induced to do so partly from the scantiness and defectiveness of
what is generally given as information to the public relative to
the late occurrences in Greece itself, although here the chief
matters are openly going forward, and the adventures in Wal-
lachia are looked upon only in the light of an episode belonging
to them ; and partly on account of the great and general parti-
cipation which is justly felt by all in the unexpected movements
of this anciently-tenowned people. 'Every unprejudiced spec-
tator makes with justice a distinction 'between the commotions
which social order in Christian Europe had endured during the
last year, and the efforts of those countries which, although in
many respects deficient, yet felt themselves possessed of suffi-
cient strength • and courage to- avenge the ignominy of Chris-
tianity in their native country, anti instead Of having their home
desolated by-the dissolute Government of Asiatic barbarians, to
reinstate ft in the enjoyment of the blessings of proper regula-
dotes and regular laws. It . is not the want of laws, but the
total impossibility of rendering them effective, a deeplanesta-
blished impotence of Government, that has brought the Turkish
power to ruin, and especially since the exertions of the •wise
Emperor Selini,united to those of-his resolute friend Bairactar,
to introduce the regulations of civilised society into Turkey,
were not long ago rendered ineffectual through the stubborn
obstinacy of the Janissaries. While, therefore, all the nerves
of the-States were torpid, and the very foundations of society
were tottering, the GreekS began to recover -front the effects of
.the state into which the unfortunate issue of the war under the
Empress Catharine. had plunged them. Through their pru-
dence, activity, and industry, a great portion of the trade of
.and soon after-the valuable trade of Macedonia and
Thrace, came into their hands. Chios; Hydria, Smyrna, and
Thessalonica, vied with Constantinople, PatraS,. Corfu, and the
other chief plates 'of. the" Greek trade, in prudent enterprises,
and Greek merchant ships nnade their appearance at Peters,
burg, in the Thames, and in the harbours of North America:—
Ten . years since there were 20,000 Greek, sailors • on board'
nearly 1,000 vessels, who had purchased from the needy Turk-
ish Government petmissiori • to tarry' arms and heavy 'guns.
against the 'pirates, who infested their seas. Thus was the
foundation lard of a naval power, of which it is easy to forebode
that in its extension and prosperity the Greek-interest may find
its natural and secure basis, and European policy a powerful
support for maintaining the freedom of.the Mediterranean Sea,
But at the. Greeks on the one side succeeded' in 'obtaining the
means of riches, advancement, and prosperity; so on. the other
the.great. commotions which have excited Europe since the
breaking out of the 'French Revolution, Contributed to awaken
their attention to the Means of 'knowing thenriserable and dea
graded state.of their country, and also inepired.them with de-
sires of obtaining for it the privileges Of freedom. • With the
' politics. of-Europe, the circiimstances, the means, and the views
of. each of the _combating POWers in- the late wars, tht,y were
well acquainted ; and they cautiously calculated upon every
turn of affairs, in the least advantageous to their object, being
resolved to make use of each opportunity to obtain their free-
dom Which Might offer to them in the conflicts of the separate
Powers, and from any, differences of opinions. The multipli-
cation f their Wealth and means through trade, and the esta -
blishinent of - a -general .public interest, which was encouraged
and rendered general through the circulation of: Greek news-
papers, and:their extensive trade correspondence, were produca
tive, within these ten years, of great eorts to collect Informa,
tion and to scatter it over• Greece on , all sides. New Schools
were established, and flourished close to each other, in Sidonia,
Smyrna, Chios, • Constantinople, Bucharest, and at last in
Athens and on Mount Pelion. Young teachers, who had re- '
ceived instruction in Germany and France, undertook the.
duties of those offices; .who,._ provided with libraries, and col-
lections of mathematical and physical instruMents; dispensed
the blessings-of light and •kriowledge among numerous assem-
blies of youths eager foninstruction ; even the advanced in
years-. and the old attended their lectures,and heard with agi.
tatted bosoms and tearful eyeS the truths f science and.of wis-
dom which appeared to Arise, from enlightened Europe, in order
to pour over their country the joys of civilization,. to -dispel the
darkness of ignorance, and to remotie.the stains of disgrace.—
A great number of the distinguished works of all sorts of know-
ledge, especially frem the German,' were translated into the
Greek language, of made up to suit the necessities of Greece.—
e Greek Classics- were .newly printed, and principally from
Paris, were scattered over all the Islands anti the Continent.-..-
All this, the schools, the libraries; the`Publication of these nu-
merous Itorksailiesupport of the students,'were willingly esta-
blished and preserved by the wealthy men of the nation'. -
"-As the ancient Greeks were accustomed -to givethe tenth
ofaheir booty and .of their acquisitions in -peaCe to the Gods, so
do their :successors now love to give a portion of their wealth to
the church, or to the strangers whom their religion points out
es objects worthy Of relief. .So quick and successful. were the
commencement and continuance-of those ardent spirits in the
ways of knowledge, that all the paths of literature were at once
as it.... were filled with men eager to become eminent, and the
scientific works and merits of it -Coray, a Mustorydy,• a Gazy, a
Duces, a Kumas, a Bambas,. a- Gorgoriost an fEconomos, a
Kapetaniki, and many others, gave strong proofs to every at-
rte.:dive. observer, even befsre the clang of arms had attracted
the eyes of all men to_ the field of classic battles, that Greece
would soon arise from the sleep of thraldom.
Whatever feeling existedan the nation itself of their miser-
able state, was gradually extended by the French; for their
.plans arid views principally awakened and encouraged by de-
grees the power. terminating that misery, and by exciting an
unpatience of it, hastened the approach of the day of Salvation.
Since the return of the French army from Egypt, many French
Officers travelled through Greece in all directions, in order to
examine its military strength, and to direct its political views.
The system of politics by which Illyria was created, and which
placed it in immediate in tercourse with the Turkish countries, was
not the work of a day, nor of 'casual observers. Soon after the
battle. of Wagram, an united body of Greeks, for the liberation
of Greece was formed at Paris, • under the 'protection of the
• French Wovernment. The Envoys of this union, and among
them Rftheas, the head of them, were indeed seized-on their
road from 'Paris to Bucharest, and their heads were cut off on
the day of their capture. The. blow had, however, been strack,
and the war songs of Rhigas, more ardent even than those of
Tyrtaeus, resounded-from that time on the mountains of Thes-
saly, in the Peloponnesus, as well as in the Ifmmus. In the
,years 1810 and 1811, the preparations for the conquest of
.Greece on the part of France were completed. Thirty thou-
sand stand of arms were dispersedtkrough the mountaineeh cf
ancient Epirus, extensive combinations were formed all through
,Thessaly and Macedonia, and they were supported by the re-
volt of the Servians. Even troops of Turks, descendants of
Christians, were won to the cause, and ready to embrace Chris..
tianity, and to amalgamate themselves with the people among
whom they lived. A body of 50,000 Italians and 80,000 French-
men were collected in Italy and Piedmont ready for commenc-
ing the war. The magazines, the military roads were known,
and the support andtheopposition_whieli might be experienced
had been calculated by men of experience in war,.who.belonged

Signor.
" That tyrant, Whom Napoleon had flattered with the empty
Ilene of being acknowledged as as an independent King, was to
have made the first attack., the `army was to- proceed partly
through Thessaly and partly through one of the _northern pas
sages to Macedonia, where it was expected to meet the Turkish I
power and to destroy it. Greece was to be erected into a king-
dom, of which Janina Was tei be the capital, and the King of
which was-to be a Prince of the ImperialFarnily, who already
had acquired a great character both as a General and as a Re„
gent. This plan Was, throligh the breaking out of the war with
Russia, stopped at the commencement; and through the ca=
tastrophe•of that world exciting war, an wadataking was de-.
stroyed for, ever which had been expected to .have been post-
poned merely foe a few years. But the effects had not alto-
gether ce. asett. From 1812 the fermentation of the Greeks
which continued to be very•great in that country, was.looked
upon in a favourable light by Ali Paella, who entertained the
notion that France was to'have exerted itself for his advantage,
land that the Crown of Greece had been, in fact, designed for
him. From that time the Greeks were full of confidence, and
also Much feared. Pachas whom they disliked were constrained
by open force, and then exchanged by the compliant Porte for
other. rulers; arms were also intrepidly carried about and used.
By. this disposition of their minds, and by the still daily snore
and More apparent inability of the Porte, all that was wanting
was an occasion which would unite the suitable moment of
neral union at home with favourable circuinatances abroad, in
order'th bring forward the general revolt. Both were fonnd in
the Hetaria, or the Union of the Friends of the Muses, and in
the measures.in which-the Porte suffered itself to be led against
Ali Pasha. The Hetaria was established in 1814, at-Vienna,
during the Congress under the eyes of assembled Europe, bye
Statesman Whom the best feelings of his nature have united
with Greece, and *hose high character being adOrned with great
virtues, places him far above the suspicion of being actuated by
any base or improper selfish motives. With him laboured in
common, the respectable Archbishop Ignatius, who having now
retired to Pisa, lives there.the father of all the Greek youths,
who study at that Seminary. The object of the .union was to
lestablish through voluntary and annual sUbSeriplion a ftind, by
which the 'new establishments in Athens and on Pelion, might
' be better endowed than hitherto, and ffoin which .the young pro-
mising Greeks, who might be desirous of visiting the German.
Academies, in order.to'fit themselves well for being teaehers or
Ecclesiastics, might be enabled- to derive support. The uader.
taking having been commenced by. men of great worth, anti far
a glorious purpose, had quick success.
A brilliantdisplay of names, even of Princes and of others,
whom-Europe- accounts among her most distinguished politi-
cians, filled the register of the Iletaria, who, according to the
Statutes printed in the new -Greek character in France, pro-
mised' to take each year an account of the proceedings of the un,
dertaking, and of -the•distribution of the contributions.' The
symbol of each Member is-a gold ring, with an impression of
an Owl and of Chiron, who; as the educator of heroes, plaCes
a boy on the rudder, being the United token of both -schools,
for the-. encourageinent of which the Hetaria was principally
established. However this union, apparently constituted for the
noble object of the extension of learning in Greece, and for the.
purpcise of thereby protecting the, poor, was by the Greeks
themselves,-,who bring every tiling to bear upon their miserable
situation, soon clothed with a political signification ; and what
through Europe was leoked upon solely in the light of a society
fOr the advancement of useful.knowledge in Greece, was there
interpreted to he a united body for saving Greece. The place
from whence the Hetaria took its origin, the moment of its e,ta-
blishment, the illustrious names at its head; all co-operated to
procure for it, not.only iu Greece, but in every place where the
Greeks resided, a favourable reception, as well as esteem and
the most general circulation. -Those powers of mind, of body,
and of wealth, which had been before dispersed into many divi-
sions, had now a .point of union ; the uncertain and fleeting ef-
forts of the people had now an appointed direction ; the whole
1 had a signal, by which it could be collected in one spot, and
fitted as it were to the occasion. Whole districts of people, as
the Pargiotes and Suliotea, sided together according to agree-
ment even with All Paella, at a time when he was humbled to
the earth by. the power of his 'enemies. That was the signal of
the breaking up • -for the general •cause: In order to procure a
leader whose terrible name might unite the whole, . and whose
treasures, Computed at fifty millions of piastres, besides his ex-
ceeding warlike stores, could give-to the Greeks the best assist-
anee, the &hetes rose in his defence, and thosomen whom lie
had betrayed on a .former occasion while combating like heroes
in defence of. their liberties, equipped on the mountains of Thes-
saly 20,000 of the Agraphes;Until then-his most-inveterate' enc.,
rues, and who, living in the homes of the ancient Dorians, bad
always heen.terribloto the neighbouring people as robbers, but.
who were living among themselves 'according to- certain laWs
and- to old -established usages. •The Sttliotes' having equipped
with alms those 20,000 young men,well'aceustomed to the feats
of war,, on the 6th of April, the day agreed upon by all. as the
day for a general revolt; the M =notes, - the-successors of the
ancient Spartans, rushed down from their moitntains, and the
-marine forces of the HYdriots • set. out in . order 'to seek the

ed, that the entire- Army sent against Ali Paella was beaten,
I'arga and Arta were occupied, ,Prevesa surrounded, the whole
Peloponnesus-as far .as Napoli liberated, Beeotia and Photis
tinder arms, and that the alarm had extended itself as far as
