SOMNAMBULISM.

Many arc the singular cases which have been de-
tailed of persons rising and walking in their sleep; i
but none are more remarkable than that of a boy,
named Thomas Young, residing at Middlefield, a
small farm near Kelso; and chiefly from the fre-
quency
with which he indulges in this practice.
Scarcely a night passes but the people of the farm-
steading have an opportunity of witnesssing some of
his motions, which he goes through with as much
activity and precision as when awake. Sometimes
he has been observed making his way to the stable,
and mounting his old and faithful friend Dobbin,
who may not unfrequently be heard greeting his ar-
rival with a hearty neighing, by way of welcome.
At another time he may be seen engaged in
driving a cow before him to the field; and once he
was seen riding on the " riggin o' the barn," ex-
hibiting, with the utmost apparent pleasure to him-
self, all the manoeuvres of a first-rate Newmarket
Jockey. The other night, when the mistress and
servants, male and female, were all sunk in pro-
found repose, this 7 nidnight agitator of the peace as-
sailed the door and windows of the kitchen with
such violenca as to awaken the servant maid. Being
thus suddenly and prematurely aroused from her
slumbers, and unable to divine the cause of so un-
usual a noise,
the girl became exceedingly alarmed.
Mustering, however, as much courage as possible,
she crawled over the bed with trembling limbs, and
with a faltering accent inquired what was the matter?
Rise, said a voice, in j 4 humble manner; rise Jenny,
and help me to carry in the coin to the barn, it's
raining hard. As soon as she recognised the voice
of hie visitant, her fears A% ere dispelled ; and she
prepared, whet dressed, to obey the summons. On
looking out, she saw nobody ; and in place of.
" torrents of rain," as she expected, the morning was
fair and clear—then she discovered that the distur-
bance had been occasloned by•the boy, in one of his
fits of somnambulism.- A few nights ago, the boy,

FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Gazette de France, Sept. 14.)
ALEXANDRIA, JULY 30.—The same operation is
practised here to re-people a province as is employed
in England to man the fleet—namely, impressing.
All males, from the age of 15 to the age of 60, are
seized and distributed in the country, where the want
of hands paralyzes every thin'.
The evacuation of the Noma seems to be decided
upon. A French corvette has arrived from Nayarit)
with the news, that two English men of war were
to follow it from that port, and take away the Greeks
(8,000 slaves), who are demanded of the Paella, and
to convoy the Egyptian ships which are to go and
fetch Ibrahim.

The Pacha has within these two days ordered the
Russian Consul to remove the arms of his Emperor
and to take down his flag.
AUG. 1.-It seems that an envoy from Constan-
tinople has really came to ask the Pacha for fresh
supplies of men and money, and to persuade him to
send Ibrahim and his army to Romelia, if he should
be obliged to evacuate the Morea. It remains to
be seen what resolution the Pacha will take ; if he
wishes to preserve the friendship of the Sultan, he
must sacrifice his army, and make up his mind not
to see his son again. •
Since our Pacha has received this news, he is
said to be extremely agitated and in a very ill

humour.
AUG. 4.—Some English men-of-war, one with
Admiral Codrington on board, are now anchored in
the port, at the same spot where Lord Cochrane
was anchored fifteen months ago. A schooner ar-
rived this morning, and periled for two hours with
the English fleet; it afterwards stood out to sea
and disappeared. The Admiral, it seems expects
another ship of the line and several frigates and cor-
vettes. Ten or twelve Russian men-of-war are also
expected. Some persons affirm that we shall see
some French ships also. The Pacha, with whom
the English Admiral desires an interview, is in-
formed of all this, and will arrive to-night. It seems
that the evacuation of the Morea, and the imme-
d;ate release of all the Greek slaves will be de-
manded. This, at least, is supposed to be the
object of the appearance of this naval force. It will
not be known till after the Pacha has been here some
days.

PARIS, SEPT. 13.—The Gazette Universelle of
Lyons has the following article :
" Our Correspondent at Toulon sends us the fol-
lowing details :—An aviso sent to the Commandant
of the Marine brings news of the expedition to the
Morea. One brigade has landed without obstacle, in
the island of Sapienza; another was to land at Na-
varin. Ibrahim has received our troops in a friendly
manner, and is preparing to embark, with part of
his army, on board the vessels which had brought
him reinforcements and provisions. Transports
were expected from Egypt to take away the remain-
der of Ibrahim's army.
" The Ville de Marseilles, which was with the
first division of the expedition, has continued her
voyage for Toulon, and is now in the roads."

TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH DATED SEPT. 8, 1828, ONE

O'CLOCK P.M.

" The Prefect to the Minister of Marine.

" The Lamprosi has just arrived ; she sailed from
Navarin the 29th of August ; the Dion had just
previously entered the Gulph of Calamata.
" The Laniprosi met on the 30th, at the distance
of 20 leagues from Navarin, the 35 transports, and a
convoy of the Hassard, which must have arrived on
the 31st, as the wind was favourable."

PARIS, SEPT. 13.—1 t is now three months since
hostilities between Russia and the Porte began,
since the expectations of England were prolonged,
since our expedition to the Morea was prosecuted,
and no one of those great events has occurred which
seem appointed to resolve those questions on which
human science and wisdom are forced to be silent.
We are yet ignorant and uncertain in what state the
first reports of our expedition to the Morea will find
us. We described it as an honourable proceeding
intended only for the safety of Greece, and an indis-
pensable measure of precaution if a change were to
take place in the domination of the Bosphorus. We
have not been able to state any thing different since,
and this is all that we now know of the affairs of
the East. In general, the same reserve has been
maintained ; patriots have put up, as we have,
prayers, that the elite of the French Generals and
soldiers might find in their mission ssimething to
perform in favour of humanity, and in the interest of
their couttry. Whatever may be the secret designs
of the two Powers associated with us, we have felt
no jealousy, and we think our situation affords us
excellent reasons not to be afraid.

An English ship of war has arrived at Marseilles
from Alexandria, which place she left on the 10th of
August. The despatches were immediately sent to
Paris. The following is an extract of one of the let-
ters brought by this ship :
" AuGusT 6.—The Pacha has just ratified the
treaty, which Ibrahim concluded with the Admirals
for the evacuation of the Morea. The Consuls of •
England and France were appointed to conclude the •
negociation, the Admiral having declared that he
would not land till he was certain that his proposals
would be accepted; and that, in case of refusal, he
would blockade Egypt; and that from twelve to
fifteen Russian ships, who were at a distance, should
employ other means than negociation. These threats
produced the desired effect, and the Pacha consented
to the demands. In three or four days all the
Egyptian vessels now in port are to sail for the Mo-
rea, under •the convoy of an English ship, to take
on board the Egyptian army and its chief, estimated
at from 15 to 20,000 men, all that remain of 50,000
who left this place. It seems that in consequence
of the impossibility of restoring all the slaves, this
has not been much insisted on. The greater part
being women, and converted to the Mahometan
faith, have been espoused by those who brought them
thither, or they have been introduced into the se-
raglio of some great man, in which case, religion
forbids to take them away. There are in the galleys
about 168 slaves, who will be set at liberty, and
carried back to their own country, on board the
English ship. The last article of the capitulation
bears that the fortresses of the Morea shall be
evacuated by Ibrahim, and placed in the possession
of the Turkish troops.
" After concluding the Convention with the Pacha
at Alexandria, for the return to Egypt of Ibrahim
Pacha and his troops, Admiral Codrington arrived
on the 2-Ith of August sff „Navarin. Forty-one
Egyptian vessels, convoyed by French and English
.ships, followed him to receive on board the Egyp-
tian troops. This division must have arrived off the
coast of the Morea on the 29th. On the 25th,
the French and English squadrons, in consequence
of an agreement with the Kiaga-bey of Ibrahim,
anchored in the harbour of Naval in, to wait for the
Egyptian transports. During this time a brig de-
tached by General Maison informed
,Admiral Rigny
of the approach of the expedition. The Admiral
went out to, meet it. It is suppposed that the
French troops will be landed at Calamata." -
The following is an extract of a letter from a
young officer, without a date :—" In passing before
Athens during the night, this town was all in flames
as well as the surrounding plains. The Turks have
set fire to it, being persuaded that they will soon
be compelled to leave it."
PRBVESA, A.uG. 15,—Extract of a Private Letter.
• —Firmans of his Highness have been read in all
the mosques of Macedonia and Thessaly for calling
out the spabig,
the Timarots, the guards of the
passes, and generally all the militia to the defence of
Greece, Monstrd, Pacha of Scoudra, Redschid
Pacha, and Omar Briones, Paella of Salonia, are to
command the expedition ; the principal rendezvous
being at Larissa, in the month of September. If
we may believe the Turks, this army, destined to
act against the Morea, will consist of 60,000 men,
disposed of its follows :--The Paella of Scoudra,
having under his orders the Kaidocks of ctoie? of

Elbassan, of Ochrida, and Monaster, after descend-
ing from Upper Albania, will unite with the others
at Larissa, extending towards ?Ocala and Pharsalia,
so as to bear on the mountains of the Gulf of Le-
panto. Redschid Pacha proceeding from Janina
will hoist his standard on the heights of Misso-
longhi, and support. Moustai Pacha. Omar Briones
united with the Pacha of Negropont, will enter in
Beotia, so that the Peloponessus will be attacked
both on the north and west. The orders of the
Divan are to put all the strong places in Albania in
a state of defence, and particularly Parga and Pre-
yesa, where numerous garrisons are expected. The
Pachas of Asia Minor have received orders to send
the troops in Cyprus to Cos, Chios, and Mitylene.
Regular troops are to be sent to Tenedos and Lem-
nos, and Mount Athos is to be occupied by the
Spahis from Macedonia, who hive in part been
raised in the neighbourhood of Serrez. It is pro-
posed to disembark immediately 1,500 tacticians in
Attica. The fortresses of Crete will receive sol-
diers' ammunition, and provisions. The Sultan has
employed 40,000 purses of his own private treasury
to bear the expences of the war in Greece and the
Archipelago.
Hitherto we did not know how to explain these
extraordinary measures at a moment when the Otto-
man Empire is attacked by the Russians, but the
business is explained by the. announcement of the
speedy arrival of a French fleet in the Mores. The
Porte having been informed of this in a positive
manner, has placed itself in a condition to repel an
aggression which it regards as a declaration of war,
and it is possible that ere long it will publish a Ma-
nifesto, in which there will be no mention of Eng-
land. In fact, it is indebted to this Power, which
will see with regret if the Turks should fall in the
contest. The Pachas are ordered to make a general
inspection of their governments, in order to seize all
the Christians, and compel them to work at the for-
tresses. More than 25,000 have been taken up in
Macedonia, and seat, coupled like hunting-dogs, to
Shumla, where they will be employed to dig the
trenches, and receive the first fire of the Russians.
The same thing has taken place on all the points of
the Danube where there are fortresses. In the
single department of Monaster or Bitolia, 6,000
Christian masons have been collected, and sent to

Constantinople, and it may be estimated, that up-
wards of 15,000 Greeks, Bulgarians and Walla-
chians, all Christians, are employed in the Corvees,
where they expire daily under the blows of a Turk.
A piece of maize bread, water, and blows, constitute
the nourishment of a people whom the Sultan wishes
to annihilate before be gives up the country to the
Muscovites.

PARIS, SEPT. 13.—MISTAKES OF THE JESUIT
TRAVELLERS.-If we are to believe M. de Courcy,
all nations were going to dispute the incalculable
advantage and the honour of receiving and pro-
tecting the Jesuits on leaving France, whence no
one drives them; but where they wish no longer to
sojourn, since they can no longer reign as despots.
The Reverend Father ought only to have the diffi-
culty of choosing; they might, choose between all
countries of Europe and America, which emulated
each other in extending their arms with tenderness
to them.
M. de Courcy had presumed far too much on the
feeling of our neighbours. It is very little better
apparently than ourselves; for they do not appear
to care for the holy personages whom we have re-
jected. The King of Piedmont, who hitherto had
treated the Jesuits with so much favour and libe-
rality, has suddenly become armed with scruples and
prejudices. Far from giving them castles, he has
not even wished to permit them to buy them.
Their descent at Guernsey has not succeeded any
better. The mere appearance of the holy fathers in
the island has been a signal of alarm. The inhabi-
tants soon concerted together, and addressed a pe-
tition to the British Government, praying it to re-
move these guests, whose presence would endanger
the security of the isle, and thy peace of the Protes-
tant Church in those regions. The answer of the
Government was—" That the French Jesuits were
allowed to establish themselves as private men in
the English islands; but they ought to be severely
forbidden to form any Corporation there. The strict-
est watchfulness will be employed towards them, to
force them to live merely like all the other inhabitants,
to whom the protection of the laws cannot be refused,
nor any thing else which they permit."
Without doubt the Jesuits will not accept an asy-

lum granted on such condition : they wish not the
protection of the laws, if they are only to obtain
what the latter will permit—they would find as
much in France : of what use, then, have been these
expences of a shifting by sea ?
A Journal announces, that " yesterday morning
a considerable crowd was assembled at the corner of
Rue de Vaugirard and Rue de Notre Dame-des-
Champs. A Swiss battalion was stationed in that
distant part of the city, which is occupied by Swiss
soldiers. This display of force was rendered neces•
nary, by the great disorders which the soldiers of
the guard on this post had committed in consequence
of drunkenness."

On this subject very afflicting details have been
transmitted to us, and from them it would appear,
that at ten o'clock that evening some Swiss soldiers
were stopping all the citizens who passed that way
in the Rue Vaugirard, and did not release them
without obtaining money from them. Not finding
receipts produced sufficiently quick, they laid under
contribution three coachmen, whose vehicles were
standing before doors. Various other excesses were
committed by them, in representing which we hope
there is some exaggeration. Nov, although these
misguided soldiers are only answerable to their offi-
cers for their conduct, yet it is but proper that pub-
lic justice should interfere to ascertain facts, which
interest, in so high a degree, the public security.

Mi. JACOB, who has been so much employed
by Government in procuring information of the corn
markets on the Continent, &c., was here on Friday last,
having come round by the West Coast, where he visited
Appin, and other places. He stated his tour to be merely
one of curiwsity; he said, however, that his observations
enabled him to assert, that the crops in Scotland had sus-
tained much less damage frona the rains than in England,—

CARLTON•HOUSE IMPROVEMENTS.— The
new buildings erecting on the site of Carlton Palace, not
the slightest vestige of which now remains, are proceed-
ing rapidly to completion. They will, it is anticipated, be
ready for the residence of the distinguished individuals to
whom spots of ground have been granted to build upon
by the commencement of 1829. It has not yet been finally
decided that the recommended flight of steps into the Park
shall not he adopted. The covered fountain will be adopted
as proposed by Mr. Nast!, and eight additional pillars
to those of Carlton-house portico erected for the support
of its roof. The right wing of the terrace is all in car-
case, and undergoing the process of cement, to give the
houses the appearance of those in Regent-street. The
terrace to the Park will be raised about ten feet, and will
be ern tmented in front with cast iron fluted Doric pillars,
painted a stone colour, and supporting a coping of stone.
Some of these pillars are already set up. They are rather
heavy, but will relieve the otherwise dull uniformity of
the front of the terrace. The Atheneum, and other build-
ings facing Pall-mall, are proceeding rapidly.
