COCHRANE.

The Port of the Pineue,
April 22, 1827.

The following is the Proclamation of General
Church on leaving his Head-quarters at Megara, to
march to Athens :
The Generalissimo to all the Greeks.

Appointed by the Greek nation and by its repre-
sentatives at Trazene to the dignity of Commander-
in-Chief, I cannot but make known how sensibly I
feel the greatness of the sacred duty which this post
imposes on me, and how highly I appreciate the ho-
nour which it confers on me. I know that neither
my talents nor my acquirements render me worthy
of the glorious title of Generalissimo of Greece ;
but the zeal with which I have long since devoted
myself to the interest of this country, recommends me
to the love and confidence of the whole nation; and
the more so, as a great number of those who have
signalized themselves in fighting for their country,
were formerly my companions in arms.
The Greek nation, happily united in a National
Assembly, at Trazene, must already expect great
advantages from union, patrio.lsm, and energy; and,
delivered from tyranny, it will soon be recognised
by the whole Christian world as a celebrated and
independent nation. Hasten, then, Greeks, of all
ages and ranks, who are able to bear arms, and
range yourselves under the standard of your country.
Hasten to deliver the illustrious Athens, and expel
the barbarians from its sacred walls ! Hasten, and
doubt not that the trophies of victory which you
will gain in Attica will surpass the preceding in
splendour, and lay the foundation of the safety and
the immortal glory of Greece.
On my part I will endeavour, by all imaginable
means, to support the courage of the warriors, and
to preserve from all acts of violence the inhabitants
of the country through which the troops shall pass ;
and if, with the assistance of Heaven, we have de-
livered Athens, the warriors must there receive the
rewards of their valour, and the citizens in the in-
troduction of a system which permits no violation of
the laws.

Such, in a few words, are my sentiments, which

I make known to all the Greeks at the moment
when I take the command of the army at Megara ;
and be assured, Greeks, that the glorious Comman-
der of the Navy, as well as myself, is firmly resol-
ved to contribute, by all his efforts, and all possible
means, to lay the foundation of your happiness, your
glory, and your independence.
(Signed) The Generalissimo of Greece,

PARIS, JUNE S.—The Duke of San Carlos is ap-
pointed Ambassador from his Catholic Majesty to
the Court of France.

A letter from Havre, June 6th, says,—Commo-
dore Porter has captured, off Cape St Antonio, se-
veral Spanish vessels, one with three masts, be-
longing to Cadiz, with a cargo valued at 160,000
dollars.
We have now here three Haitian ships in our
ports.
The new tariff was to be published at Port-au-
Prince on the Ist May ; we expect it with the first
ship that arrives.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE,

MADRID, MAY 28.—Some very singular scenes
have lately taken place at the Court. Even in the
interior of the Palace placards have been posted, on
which were written the watch-words of the Aposto-
lical party, " Viva Carlo Quint° ! Viva la Inquisicion !
Muerte a los Negros !" This outrage on the King
has given rise to very warm remonstrances among
the Members of the Royal Family, and every exer-
tion has been made to discover its authors. Senor
Galindo, the Deputy of the Corregidor, has been
sent to Aranjuez to make the strictest inquiries
among the officers and domestics of the Palace.

(From the Journal des Debats.)
LISBON, MAY 24.—1 t would appear that the best
understanding does not subsist between General
Clinton and Sir W. A'Court. It has for some time
past been remarked that the former does not attend
the dinners given by the latter, and that he more
frequently visits the Minister of War, who is re-
garded as the chief of the Constitutional party ;
while, on the other hand, Sir W. A'Court neglects
that Minister, and is often with the Ministers for Fo-
reign Affairs, the Home Department, and Finance,
who are considered as less attached to the new in-
stitutions.

It is, besides, believed that Sir W. A'Court and
Gen. Clinton differ essentially as to the manner in
which they represent the state of Portugal to the
English Government, the former describing the
whole country as hostile to the Charter, while the
latter is of opinion that the only enemies of repre-
sentative government are the monks, a part of the
clergy, and persons in possession of certain privileges.
An attempt has been made to make the 7th regi-
ment of the line, which garrisons Castello Branco,
mutiny, but it completely failed; and out of 600
troops only 24 showed any thing of a seditious
spirit, and they were intoxicated. They were all
arrested.

{The Constitutionnel, which gives a letter from
Lisbon, corresponding as to the main facts with
the above, quotes for its authority the Augsburg
Gazette—rather a singular source for Portuguese
intelligence.]
MADRID, MAY 29.—The dispatches by which
M. d'Ofalia announced the failure of his negociation
for the evacuation of the French troops have sur-
prised very few persons who are at all initiated in
the secrets of the Governme-.it ; but what now ex-
cites general astonishment (a id I warrant the fact)
is, that in pursuance of fres s deliberations of the
Council of State, a new negociation is commenced
with the French Governmen- for withdrawing its
troops; and that before this letter reaches you these
new propositions will be officially made by our
Charge d'Affaires in Paris. It is even said that an
antor:raph letter of the King has been transmitted to
his Christian Majesty, earnestly urging the
withdrawal of the French troops.
The Court of Rome has commenced a negociation
of a difficult nature, and which may terminate by
embroiling us with the Holy See.
You are doubtless aware that several of the new
States of America have solicited the Court of Rome
to enter into concordats with them, and that the
Papal Government had already, without success,
made overtures to our Government to induce it to
enter into some compromise with its former subjects.
However, some of the states which applied to the
Holy See, appearing to set no great value on the suc-

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 11, 1827.

The French Papers of Friday, with the Etoile,
dated Saturday, have been received. The latter
contains some important news from Greece—or
rather a confirmation of what we have already
published respecting the defeat of the Turks be-
fore Athens. 'The Austrian Observer, con-
taining this news, has been received by an ex-
traordinary conveyance, and contains the de-
spatch of Lord CocHnANE,to the Greek Go-
vernment, announcing the brilliant success of
the combined Grecian forces under his Loin•
SHIP and General CHURCH. A proclamation by
General CHURCH to the army, before marching to
Athens, is also given, and will be found in another
column.

Thus it appears that the first movement of
Lord CocHRA NE has been gloriously successful,
and gives decisive promise of the important cha-
racter of his future operations. If the Greeks
but listen to his Lordship, and be guided by his
chivalrous daring, the success of their cause ie
sure. Lord COCIIRANE'S enterprising genius
is not more conspicuous for its wisdom and skill
in planning great deeds, than his intrepidity is
remarkable in achieving them. His name alone
is a host in the cause of Greece, and his
presence is the bright harbinger of her in-
dependence. We look with impatience for

the next news from Athens. IBRA.HINI
PACHA has hitherto trampled over a disunited
people, but if he ventures to await the approach
of COCHRANE—he will find 4 grave amid the
scene of his recent triumphs and brutality. The
heroic impulse is now given, and Greece will
henceforth march in the career of victory.
The private correspondence from Lisbon men-
tions some misunderstanding as existing between
General CLINTON and Sir W. A'CouRT, re-
specting their views of affairs in Lisbon and the
popularity of the Constitution, but we trust there
is no foundation for such a circumstance. Sir W.
A'CouRT has certainly been singularly unlucky
in witnessing the downfall of liberal institutions
—as Naples and Madrid can unfortunately tes-
tify, but we hope that he is not destined to be-
hold a similar catastrophe in Portugal.

The House of Commons is to receive this
evening the report of the East Retford Elec-
tion Committee. It is impossible for us
to anticipate what that report may be, or
what measures the House may adopt in con-
sequence,—but we cannot help expressing an
anxious hope that each established case of corrup-
tion may be visited with those penalties which
have already overtaken Grampound and Penryn.
This is the true species of reform which antici-
pates the wholesale trade of the radical—shewing
that Parliament are ever ready to vindicate
themselves from the charge of countenancing
corruption, though well aware of the necessity
of its existence in the present state of the
world. At the same time, the exercise of
this disfranchising power is evidently de-
serving of the greatest caution on the
part of those who are invested with so
high a privilege, and it is no trifling case
of corruption which should deprive a commu-
nity of the Elective Franchise,---but a repetition
of bad cases, proving incontestibly the existence
of something rotten in the state of that city or
borough.

We received, this morning, the Journal de St.
Petersburgh, of the 24th May, the Allgenzeine
Zeitung, of the 4th instant, and Dutch Papers,
of the 9th, but their contents possess little poli-
tical interest. A-statement ofthe Greek forces in
the Peloponnesus, or rather the number of men
able to bear arms, is given below—and is much
more considerable than was generally expected,
being 150,000; but the extreme scarcity of pro-
visions is a great obstacle to their being embodied.
News from all quarters tend to confirm the late
reported success of Lord COCHRANE, before
Athens, which has been no doubt effectually re-
lieved, and the discomfiture of the besiegers
completed :

GENEVA, MAY 26.

A dispute has arisen here respecting the statement given
by Dr. Gosse, of the military force of the Greeks. Count
Lunzi, from Zante, who has been thoroughly acquainted
with Greece and its military relations for some years past,
affirms that Gosse's statements, or rather those which have
been communicated tc them as accurate, and which lie sent
hither as such, are quite incorrect. He blames them first
of all for enumerating the forces of Greece only ac-
cording to the names of some leaders. This, he says,
may be very proper in the case of a regular army,
where all the Generals and Colonels are known, but
in Greece it is different ; the Commander of the corps
as well as their effective force change daily ; lie who has
some reputation, adherents, and money, collects more or
fewer people, and becomes Capitano. " I am able," con-
tinues Count Lunzi, " to mention a good many consi-
derable Greek leaders, of whom Gosse says nothing, though
all of them are known to have distinguished themselves.
I could easily prove some have not so many troops as he
assigns them, and that others command more. How can
he affirm, for instance, that Nikitas, the Turcophagus, the
Massena. of Greece, 4nd T, Colovotrnili, the con-an:Ander ha

chief of the Greek army in the Peloponnesus, have only
300 men under them ? And why does he not speak of
Apostolo Colocotroni, the brothers Jatrakos, the brothers
Delignani, Pietri Mauromichalis, &c. &c. ; and
there are still more Capitaaos in Greece, whose names
are unknown to me. If we allow to the Capi-
tanos, whom Goose does not name, but a few troops,
we shall have from fifteen to twenty thousand men who
are wanting in his account. By my exact knowledge of
the Peloponnesus, I am &bre to correct these inaccurate
accounts.

The Peloponnesus is divided into twenty-four cantons or
eparchies. To the name of each I have added, &et, the
number of men able to bear arms, who might be assembled
if there were money and provisions, not only for them but
for their families.

The second numbers are those of the effective force
which are at all times ready for action.

Tota►l

Count Lunzi adds, that ho has uniformly given the mi-
nimum, and that he is convinced that the Peloponnesus
could furnish 150,000 men in arms, but on account of the
inconceivable scarcity of provisions, and other necessaries,
almost all the able bodied men lead an unsettled life
and all their efforts are confined to the defenee of their
families against the savage hordes of the Mahometans.

wards Modon. News has been received at Leghorn, that

HAGUE, JUNE 7.

A letter from lielvoetsluys, written yesterday, says :
" The Netherlands merchantman Helena Christina, Cap-
tain Martuez, from Batavia, which it left 26th February,
struck and lost its rudder yesterday evening, between half-
past seven and eight o'clock, on entering the port, and is
now aground. The passengers, whose names are Baron
de Salis, Captain Van Geen,,M. Van Schoor, and M. and.
Mrs. Van der Laan, have all got safe on shore, and some of
them have already passed through this town. The ship is
stranded on the Goedereede, and will probably be lost.

Hatnburgh Papers to the 9th inst. have been
received this afternoon, which confirm the article
in the Etoile, from the Austrian Observer.
The following are extracts :

VIENNA, JUNE 1.

The Austrian Observer, yesterday, gavg extracts from
the Greek Gazettes to the 23d, containing some news of
the operations of Lord Cochrane and General Church
against Redschid Pacha. To-day it gives a long account,
from its own correspondent, at Salamis, up to the 24 of
May,.which gives reason to imagine that the relief of the
Acropolis may haie been effected. This account states,
that, on the 28th of April, General Church compelled the
monastery of St. Spiridion, near the eastern shore of the
Piraeus, to capitulate ; but the men under his command,
in despite of the capitulation, murdered the greatest part of
the garrison; on which General Church threatened to leave
the army, if the guilty were not punished as they deserved.
Ten of them were arrested. During the night of the 29th no-
thing took place, but the Acropolis was in the greatestdistress
and danger ; 4,000 Greeks had marched towards Asernatos
(north of the Piraeus) to attack in the rear the fortified
position of the Turks in the Grove of Olives, while the
other corps were to attack in front : the Turks, however,
were strongly intrenched at all points, and seem resolved
boldly to expect the projected attack. " The ship," adds
the Observer, "which brought the above news to Smyrna
was unfortunately obliged to leave Salamis at the decisive
moment, so that several days will probably pass before we
learn the issue of the combat that was then impending."

Gibraltar Chronicles to the c22d ult. continue
to represent the two Colombian privateers, one
of 14, the other of 163 guns, as continuing their
system of annoyance with impunity on the Spanish
Coast. They capture and plunder Spanish
vessels, literally putting an end to the coasting
trade, and it appears difficult to account for this
apathy, when we learn they have at Algesiras, a
corvette, a brig, the Jason, two brig schooners,
and a schooner of war, besides three armed
Revenue vessels.

Private letters from Constantinople of the
10th of May, from Corfu the 7th of May, and
Zante, May 3d, all confirm the success of the
Greeks.

From a gentleman just arrived from St. Pe-
tersburgh, by the Haniburgh steam-packet, we
learn that nine sail of the line and nine frigates
were leaving for the Mediterranean.
It appears that at Toulon, orders have been
received, to get ready frigates and other ships of
war of the first classes, which are to be pro-
visioned for one year, and they are pressing
sailors in the fifth maritime arrondissement, to
complete the above ships. Many conjectures
are formed on the above preVurations and desti-
nation.

A report has been circulated in the City, of a
revolt among the Russian Southern Army having
taken place, and that they had shot one of the
Generals who was sent to supersede their former
Commander, and imprisoned another.

ADDRESS TO SIR THOMAS LETHBRIDGE, ON
HIS DEPARTURE FOR ITALY,
BY TUE MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY.

Imitated from Horace, Book I, Ode 111.
" Sic to diva potens Cypri."

May the proud Queen of Love, may the twins at the least,
Shed light on thy voyage, and each breeze of the main
Fill gently thy sails—all except the South East,
Which would waft thee, my Lethbridge, to England again.
And thou too, oh Bark, with such freightage to boast of,
Watch o'er it with zeal, as Lord Eldon his pelf,
And return it unharmed to the House, from the coast of
Some far distant land—for 'tie dear as myself.
Sure brass was his forte, both in face and in puree,
Who first in his skiff dared to cross the seas over;
He feared not the Thames in a storm—what is worse,
He feared not the Straits between Calais and Dover,
Unmoved he beheld each sea-monster and brute
Of a mermaid (which Buffon declares is a flam), '
Each porpoise and crab, with each lobster to boot,
He beheld all their terrors, yet cared not a d—n.
How idly has Jove cut * the land from the sea,
How needlessly ranked them apart in condition,
If man thus, in spite of his awful decree,
Can strike up between them a Whig coalition.
Some centuries back he stole fire from the Sun,
Resigning his race ()twits Prometheus) to slaughter,
And the Whigs, his descendants, still keep up the fun ;
And the world's as a matter of course in hot water.
There was Daedalus too, a mechanic, I guess,
He must needs try his hand at a trip to the Moon—
Oh, that the Whig leaders, with equal success,
Would try the same trip in a leaky balloon !
For nought is too high for their daring, the prigs,
Were the sky filled with Tories and Nobles, its hall
Would straight be besieged by a posse of Whigs,
Who would bundle us downwards, Peels, Tories and all.

The lovers of the Fine Arts at Liverpool will
be highly gratified by calling at the Molly Malone, kept by
Mr. Stebbings, who was a few years back a favourite on

there last season. His collection at the Molly Malone com-
prises a beautifully painted likeness of his present Majesty
in his state robes; a valuable original water-colour drawing
of Shipping, with a distant view of Dover Cliff, by the
late John Emery, of Covent-Garden (Mr. S. has refused
40 guineas for it) ; an excellent painting on 24 feet of can-
vass of a Green Grocer and Oyster Stall ; and upwards of
a hundred others, well worthy the attention of any Noble-
man forming a picture gallery.
ACQUITTAL EXTRAORDINARY.-Mrl.
Minty Graham was lately tried at Hagerstown, (Md.) on
an indictment as a common scold. After a tedious exa-
mination of witnesses, and a zealous prosecution and
elaborate defence by able counsel, the jury retired, and soon
returned with a verdict of not yuilty. It satisfactorily ap-
peared in evidence that she was an uncommon scold.
An Irish landlady being entreated by a tra-
veller to see that his sheets were well aired, replied, with
great naivete, that his honour might be sure of that, for
there was not a gentleman who had come to the house for
the last fortnight but had slept in them !
GOOD MANNERS.—WhiIe the late Mr. Gif-
ford was•at Ashburton, he contracted an acquaintance with
a family of that place, consisting of females somewhat ad-
vanced in age. On one occasion, he ventured on the peri-
lous exploit of drinking tea with these elderly ladies. After
having demolished his usual allowance of tea, he found, in
spite of his remonstrances to the contrary, that his hostess
would by no means suffer him to give up, but persisted in
making him drink a most incredible quantity. "At last,"
said Gifford in telling the story, " being really overtlooded
with tea, I put down my fourteenth cup, and exclaimed,
with an air of resolution, I neither can nor will drink
any more.' The hostess then, seeing she had forced more
down my throat than I liked, began to apologize, and
added, but, dear Mr. Gifford, as you didn't put your
spoon across your cup, I supposed your refusals were
nothing but good manners.' "

A raw-boned scare-crow sort of an Irishman, 'yclePt_„;
Nolan, with one eye, and without those un-Irish groor
—coat or stockings, was charged by W. Reeve, a agacilibt
looking constable, of Kensington, with having last
ferociously annoyed two respectable females of that 70,

letting me have such a tussle to take him they hay'llt

The prisoner, in defence, said, that he had been ail os

He was then reprimanded and discharged.
