In Paris, this winter has been as foggy as
London ;, a French wit says it. is owing to the great influx
of the English, who bring the fog in their clothes !
It is the intention of Lora ANGLESEA to
form a Yacht Club in Dublin, which, from the beautiful
Bay, will have every opportunity of pursuing its pleasure
excursions.

AUGSBURCH, FEB. 15.
The Allgenzeine Zeitung contains. the following
letter in the French language :
Sir,—Allow me to request you to insert in your
Journal the following article.
I have the honour to be, &c.
A GREEK.

Prince Alexander Ypsilanti, after a confinement
of two years at Mungatsh, in Hungary, and of
four years and a-half at Theresienstadt, in Bohemia,
has just died at Vienna. In the month of August,
1827, Russia had demanded his release, which, how-
ever did not take place till the end of November,
and upon the condition required by Austria that he
should not leave its dominions. It was on his pas-
sage through Vienna upon his.way to.Verona,-which
had been fixed upon as his place of abode, that he
was attacked with increased violence by a disorder
with which he had been long afflicted, which only a
southern region could have checked, and which had
been-rendered worse by a journey undertaken when
he had a fever upon him, and in very severe weather.
He died on the 31st January, 1828, after two months
of acute suffering of a dilatation of the heart, follow-
ed by water on the chest; he was in the 6th year
of his age ; he died like a Christian; an honest man,
and a true patriot, a victim to the persecution which
had fallen upon him. At a moment when the eyes
of the civilized world were turned towards the
East ; when the hearts of all true philanthropists
tremble for the still uncertain fate of an unfortunate
nation, the news of, the death of Alexander Ypsi-
lanti, who, by his ardent patriotism first revived
the energy of Greece, will awake in all Europe the
remembrance of arnan whom calumny has endea-
voured to blacken at a time when he could not
publish his justification, being deprived of his
liberty. The voice of none of his friends was then
heard in his favour. Perhaps they were withheld
by the fear of increasing the rigour of his confine-
ment, and of increasing the weight of the oppression
under which he suffered.

The hope of one day acquainting his country by
his words and his actions what had been his inten-
tions and what was his real character, supported him
during nearly seven years of a cruel confinement,
during which he was a prey to the grief which has
undermined his existence. This hope has been de-
ceived. It is for those who knew him as he, was,
have read in his truly great soul the generosity, the
patriotism, and the virtues which animated it, who
have been witnesses of his bravery, his disinterested-
ness, and his entire devotion to the cause of the
Greeks and his long sufferings, to fulfil the sacred duty
of performingthistask. It will be performed, but the
time is not yet come when it will be permitted to de-
clare the whole truth, victoriously to refute all the
fables that malice and ignorance' have spread respect-
ing him, and in a word, to withdraw the veil which
still covers his unjust and cruel fate. But in expecta-
tion of that happy day, let me be permitted publicly
to render to his memory the homage of respect and
admiration which is due to it, and to claim for it the
gratitude of his country, and the esteem of all honest
men.

LITERARY NOVELTY.—Mr. BANINT has in
preparation a new Irish novel, ealleil the Croppy, or Orange
and Green.—Literary Gazette.

R. M. THOMAS, Esq. his Majesty's late
Agent and Consul-General to the Regency of Algiers, has
arrived in town, and brings intelligence of every thing being
perfectly quiet at that place when he left, a month ago.
LIFE OF LORD BYRON.—Some incorrect
statements having appeared respecting the late agreement
between Mr. MoottE and Mr. MURRAY on this subject,
we think it right to give the circumstances of the transac-
tion accurately. It is not true that the Messrs. LONGMAN
entered into any terms with Mr. MOORE for the purchase
of this work. The sum which they so liberally advanced
to him (2,000 guineas), at the, time when he consented to
the "destruction of Lord Bvitost's Memoranda, was merely
in the nature of a private loan, to be repaid out of the
profits of the works they might publish for him ; and
a Life of Lord BYRON, founded upon the valuable ma-
terials in the possession of Mr. Moon; has for some
time been in preparation. Within the last few weeks,
however, Mr. MURRAY, having been induced by the late
shameful misrepresentations of Lord BYRON'S character,
to bring forward those letters and papers of the noble poet
which he had originally intended to reserve to some future
period, submitted a proposition to Mr. Mootte, offering
not only to place these materials at his disposal, but to give
him 4,000 guineas for the work. Acknowledging the
liberality of this proposal, Mr. Mooez merely stipulated
that the sum in which he stood indebted to the Messrs.
LONGMAN should be immediately repaid, to which Mr.
MURRAY assented, and, with the full consent and ap-
probation of the Messrs. LONGMAN, this agreemerit, so
interesting to all lovers of genius, was on Friday last for-
mally ratified by the parties.
EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM ALMORAN
IN THE HILL, PROVINCE OF KUMAON, DATED SEPT. 5,
1827.—0ur General having tempdrarily established his
head quarters here in the mountains of his district for the
benefit of the climate, a few lines descriptive of the remote
part of India may not be unacceptable. We completed our
position here on the 13th April, after a hard march from
Sooltanpeor of 33 days. We have been repaid however by
the beneficial change, as we have thereby avoided the heat
of the plains. Our present station is about 6000 feet above
the level of the sea. We are perched on the ridge of a pre-
cipitous mountain, with deep picturesque glens on either
side, and in every direction other mountains arise far above
us. Being within 40 miles to the South of the gigantic
range of the Hirualeh, with their snow crested summits, I
can now from my window distinctly see the highest moun-
tain in the world, estimated I believe at about 26,000 feet
above the sea; it is called by the natives Norrida Devi, or
the Throne of the great Goddess Devi. The surrounding
country, though inaccessible, except where we have cut our
roads through the thick and impervious forest and jungle,
which form the belt of these mountains, abounds in oak and
pine, with many species of the European vegetable king-
dom, such as walnuts, apricots, raspberries, quinces, lac.,
yet none approaching to perfection. Our elevation and
proximity to the snow render this climate cold as compared
with the plains, for although we are not in a direct line
distant more than 90 miles from Burrelly, where the ther-
mometer ranges at 95 deg. in the middle of the night, it
was here only at 70, and at the higheit is seldom above 76.
The lower regions of these mountains are so unhealthy as
to be almost impassable for travellers, except during three
or four months in the year. By our last advices from
Sooltanpoor all remained quiet in that district.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—Caution to Banksmen.
—An inquest was held at Hales Owen, in this county, yes-
terday week, before GEORGE HrwcnureE, Esq., on the
bodies of two colliers who met their deaths through the
carelessness of a banksman. Two men, named SAMUEL
TROWMAN and TRostas TomuszsoN, were employed in
the coal-pits of M. ATTWOOD, Esq. near Hales Owen,
which are 300 yards deep. A person named Thomas
FOSTER, was employed as banksman, and as he had been
several times very careless when men were ascending or de-
scending the pits, he was cautioned upon the subject, and
desired not to move any thing on the bank when the
workmen were coming lip Or going down. About five
o'clock in the afternoon of Wednesday the 13th instant,
TaowstaN and TostuissoN rung the bell which is
placed at the top of the pit (a wire at the bottom be-
ing attached to it) as a signal that they were coming out of
the pit. FosTee. immediately ordered the engineers to 'set
the engine On, as the men were coming up. The men ac-
cordingly began to ascend, and when they had got half way
up, FOSTER placed an empty skip on the trolly waggon
which was about ten yards from the pit, and notwithstand-
ing the caution he had received, he forced the trolly waggon
and skip along the rail-road till- they reached the edge of
the pit, and then being unable to hold them, they descended
the pit shaft,. and literally knocked the poor fellows who
were coming up all to pieces. The carelessness of FOSTER
was so apparent, and his conduct 60 wantonly negligent,
that the Jury immediately found him guilty of manslaughter,
and the Coroner committed him to Shrewsbury gaol, to
take his trial at the next Assi,zes.....:Shrewsbury Chronicle.

PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 23.—0 n Monday the Lord
Wellington transport, Lieut.. R. N. Williams, Agent,
arrived, in sixty-eight days, from Rio Janeiro (hav-
ing sailed five-days after the Jasseur). When she
left, the Ganges (flag) and Heron, were lying in
the harbour, the former intending to sail in a few
days for Monte Video ' • the Forte had goneto Bahia
and Pernambuco ; the Thetis and Cadmus were in
the River Plate; the Adventure and Beagle had
proceeded to resume their important scientific ser-
vices in the Straits of Magellan. Political affairs at'
Rio had no novelty. The mass of the trading inha-
bitants complain loudly of the unfavourable state of
affairs—exchanges were low and money scarce—the
bad system of paper money, which is carried on to
the utmost extent, being universally condemned.
All the copper money in circulation at Rio was buy-
ing up at 15 per cent. to ship off to merchants in the
provinces. The Emperot is not thought to be so
popular; there is no cheering him as formerly, when
he appears in public ; but he- icx4ibits ses Much
energy, activity, and confidence as ever, and keeps
all the folks in good order by such meani. A great
number of Irish emigrants had arrived there, and
there was much disaffection among them, complain-
ing that they had not had the promises which were
made to them fulfilled. They were, it appears, re-
cruited in Ireland by Colonel Cotter, not as settlers,
but as soldiers, and were promised the same pay as
British subjects, with the full understanding that
they were to be embodied into one regiment or
brigade. On their arrival at Rio, however, the
Emperor gave them very little pay and small rations,
and wished to embody a portion of them into each
•f his regiments: This proposition was rejected by
the " Emeralders," who were, consequently, in a
state of starvation. From 1,200 to 1,500 had arrived
out. The boats of the Forte frigate lately took
a pirate, off Maldonado, which a few hours previously
had captured an English brig ; the brig was re-taken,
with fourteen of the Buenos Ayreans, and abota as
many more were drowned. The Wellington brings
home forty invalided seamen, and ten distressed
British subjects, principally Cornish miners, who
either could not get work at the mines, or had been
turned off from want of employment.
On Wednesday the Kains transport, Lieutenant
Burwood, Agent, arrived in 49 days from Jamaica,
with 200 invalid soldiers from the regiments in
garrison. Captain Foggo, with Lieutenants Shep-
herd and Hinchcliffe, of the Royal Artillery, and
Messrs. Clifford and Gregory, Surgeons of the Navy,
are among the passengers.' She brings no news.
The ships left at Port Royal were—Magnificent
(flag), Barham, Druid, and Ferret. The Slaaey
had "gone to the Leeward Island station ; the
Arachne was expected up from those Islands. The
troops were quartered as follows :-22d Regiment
at Uppark Camp; 33d, Stoney Hill ; 77th, Spanish
Town; 91st, Falmouth and Maroon Town; 84th,
Fort Augusta ; Royal Artillery, at Port Royal.
The Onyx, Lieutenant W. J. Cole, for Sierra
Leone, was spoken on the 25th ult. in lat. 42. 9. W.
long. 9. 55. W. having experienced successive gales
from the Westward, since sailing from Plymouth on
the 6th; on the following day she was struck by a
heavy sea on the quarter, which stove in several of
her ports and filled the waste.

On Sunday sailed the Grasshopper, 18, Captain
A. Crawford, for the West India station; on Wed-
nesday arrived the Bittern, with seamen from Ply-
mouth, and sailed thither again; on Wednesday, the
Badger, 10, Captain Crowdy, came into harbour.
No vessel at Spithead. Ships in the harbour :
Victory, Asia, Blonde, Mersey, Challenger, Wasp,
Rose, Chanticleer, Beaver, Cracker, and Starling.
The Wanderer transport, with stores and provi-
sions for the new settlement of Fernando Po, on the
coast of Africa, put in here last evening, for orders.
She will sail for her destination in a day or two.
The Freak, Taylor, from New York for Hull, in
twenty-six days, was driven into Spithead this even-
ing, by contrary winds. No news by her.
On Tuesday the Albion, 74, Captain J. A. Om-
manney, C.B. was paid off, on which occasion her
gallant crew voluntarily subscribed the sum of
26/. 7s. for the Seamen's Hospital Ship, the Gram-
pus, in the River Thames. We mention this cir-
cumstance with pleasure, and hope it will prove an
incentive to the crews of other ships to subscribe
towards so laudable a charity.

Yesterday morning his Majesty's sloop Grass-
hopper, 18, Commander A. Crawford, bound to the
West Indies, while weighing anchor in Torbay, to
proceed on her voyage, fouled her anchor with the
cable of a merchant brig, and fell on board of her,
btit, having shortly cleared from the latter, she was
prepared to slip, when the cable of the brig broke,
and she in rettun fell athwart the Grasshopper's
hawse, earring away her bowsprit and foremast.
The Bittern tender, and Hamoaze lighter, have been
despatched, to afford the Grasshopper the assistance
necessary to bring her to Plymouth.

the British and Portuguese ships bound to Lisbon,
on Friday evening last, above 200 miles S.W. of the

DREADFUL CASE 0-F STARVATION

On Friday afternoon, a Coronet's Inquest was
Esq., on the body of John Cooke, aged
,-',whose death vat -tensed by want of food.
h44„,in St. Giles's workhouse, beforP THOMAs
4TSBThelyßeaJLulrNsry ,on being sworn, viewed the body of the
unfortunate man, which presented a most deplo-
rable appearance, the bones nearly protruding through
the skin.

Thomas O'Brien, of Bainbridge•street, St. Giles's,
stated, that he keeps a cook-shop and lets out beds
to hire by the night. On Sunday night last the de-
ceased came to lodge in his house ; he appeared in h
shocking state of emaciation ; about nine o'clock the
next morning the deceased rose from his bed, paid
fourpence 'for his lodging, which he said was all the
money he had, and left the house.; witness did not
see him again till the following Tuesday night, about
nine o'clock, when hearing the noise of a crowd in
Church-street, he went to the spot, and saw the de-
ceased lying in the street. Two or three watchmen
were present. Witness mentioned that the poor man
had lodged at his house the Sunday night before, and
appeared in a starving condition. The watchmen
took him to the watch-house, and wirne,,s saw no
more of him till he heard of his death.

A watchman of St. Giles's, on Thursday; night,
as he was calling the hour of nine o'clock, discovered
the deceased lying on the pavement. Witness and
three other watchmen carried him to the watch,
house. He 'had never seen the deceased before, but
thought he was reduced to the dreadful state•he~~a
n by want of food.
At►uther watchman corroborated this evidence,

Mr. Felix Lyons, surgeon to the workhouse, ex-
amined the deceased on his. admission to the work-
house; he was in a state of great emaciation, 311 d.
evidently dying; witness had him put to bed, and
administered stimulating medicines, and ordered the
nurse to give him arrow-root and wine at different
periods of the night; witness inquired for him early
the net morning, and found him dead. He opened
the body, and found the stomach empty, with the
exception of a little arrow-root, which had been given
him in the night. The heart and brain were dis-
eased to an extent sufficient, to cause death.

CORONER—In your opinion was the diseased state
of the heart and brain brought on by want of pro-
per food to support life ?—lt might ; but other
causes would have produced it.
The Jury, after consulting about a quarter of an
hour, returned a verdict, that " the deceased died by
the visitation of God, for the want of proper food.'

CLERKENWELL SESSIONS, FEB,

umuccEssrut ATTEMTT TO AFFILIATE A CHILD.

At the December Sessions an application of an unusual
nature was made to the Court by the officers of Clerkenweii
parish, for an order of affiliation against a gentleman named
Gowers, which had been refused by the Magistrates of
Hatton-garden, upon three several applications made to
them, and a full consideration of the evidence produced to
rebut the charge. The case then.stood over and came
.on
again to-day.
Mr. BODKIN. called the mother of the child and examined
her as to the time of her pregnancy. She stated that the
intimacy took place in London during the months of Janu-
ary and February, 1826, and that she was delivered of
the child in November of that year.
Mr. ALLEY expatiated on the enormity of a false charge
of this nature, which he should prove it to Ise ; and after
adverting to the hardship under which individuals suffered
against whom such charges were brought, proceeded to call
his witnesses. The first called proved, that during the whams
period in which...the intimacy was alleged to have ta'a-en,
place, and for three months subsequently, Mr. Gowers,
who is a respectable attorney, resided in Lincolnshire.
The COURT refused to make the order, observing, that
the proceeding was a shameful and disgraceful one ; anii
that it might deserve consideration whether the mother
ought not to be prosecuted for perjury.

The petitioners against the Malt Act have
ascertained and stated to the House the following facts, that
since its passing 104 convictions have taken place, mostly
in cases where no intentional wrong was committed ; and
that upwards of 13,000/. have been levied for penalties
under its vexatious enactments.

In addition to the Deanery of Worcester, a
valuable stall at Canterbury,, has become vacant by the
death of Dr. MARLOW, the late President of St. John's
College, Oxford.

As I was crossing the Channel, not. long ago,
there was a cry of " A man overboard." The vessel was stop-
ped in an instant. The boat, which had been just lashed to
the rigging, was only halfdisentangled, when three of the sailors
hung in it like' swallows. It was no sooner let down than
a fourth jumped-into it; and they set off with the rapidity
of lightning in pursuit of the drowning man, eagerly seizing
eVery, hint and-sign-front-the ship as to the direction they
were.to take. They got: up with him just in time, and
