HORRID MURDER.

(From the Norfolk Beacon of August so.)
On •Thursday last a man named William God—
Frey, residing at Mount •Pleasant,, in tiorfolk
County, about eight miles the Great
Bridge, came to town to purchase some articles
for his family, and among thew bougli.a.pair of
shoes fbr his. wife; On
.the following morning,
on looking over his purchase, his wife observed,
that the shoes he had bought for her seemed bet-
ter suited for winter than summer; but instantly
perceiving that this remark displeased her hus-
band, who she knew to be very irritable, she
refrained from saying any thing further on the
subject. Too much, however, it appears, had
already been uttered for his quick and violent
temper to brook. A tempest of rage began to
rise in his bosom, and, after a short silence, it
burst forth in direful denunciations against her-
a.elf, her :two children, and latlier and mother, all
of whom he vowed he would destroy, and then
kill himself. His wife was thrown into great
consternation, and . knowing the Violence of
his pas-sions, lost not a moment in sav-
ing herself and children from the impending
danger, by flight. As soon as lie discovered
he was gone, he loaded his musket, and
armed himself further with a keen shoemaker's
knife. Thus prepared, be hastened to the house
of his father-in-law,. Mr. Jesse Land, who lived
within half a mile, and meeting with Mrs. Land,
at the door, demanded his wife. Fortunately
Ibr her, she had taken a different direction. In
vain her mother assured the enraged man that
her daughter was not there. He was deter-
mined 4) believe the contrary, and poured on the
old lady a torrent of abuse. Upon this, her son,
Gideon Land labciu.t twenty years orage), came
out and begged' him to forbear abusing his
mother. He was de:4 to all persuasion, and as
they followed him a fide' VjaY) endeavouring to
paCify him, he suddenly cOCked his;gun. Mrs.
Land observing this, • took son round the
neck, and was hurrying•him off; to the house,
when, shocking to relate, the monste7 levelled
his gun, and having the old lady, with her' son
Gideon, and Mr. Land, the father of his wife,
all in a line before him, he discharged the piece,
and lodged its contents partly in the neck of the
son, and partly in the right ear .and neck of the
old lady—the elder Mr. Land miraculously
escaping.
The mother was living on Saturday, when we
last heard of her, though dangerously wounded.
The son (Gideon Land,) died within two
hours.

A Coroner's Inquest has investigated the case,
and after examining the body, and collecting all
the information that could be obtained, has pro-
nounced, that the deceased came to his death by
wounds inflicted by the above named William
,Godfrey.
Immediately after committing the murder,
Godfrey made his escape, and had not been ap-
prehevded when our informant left Mount
Pleasant; on Saturday evening.

A BURIED VESSEL

The inihabitants of Hastings and its vicinity
have had their curiosity excited lately by some
researches relative to a Dutch ship, which is Sup-
posed to have been si,rmided on that coast nearly
a century ago. The follolisin is a letter from a
gentleman on the spot :
From the hesemformation I C.an collect from
the oldest men of Bexhill and its neig;libourhood,
I find that in the year 1748 a large Dutch ship,
called the Amsteeda2n, laden with various kir!is
of goods and merchandize, bound for Batavia
and other•Dutchsettlements, unshipped her rud-
der on a rock off Beaehy-head, and let go her
anchor ; at the same tune a strong southerly
wind set in for several days, threatening all the
dangers of a lee shore ; many individuals of the
crew became sickly, and some of them gave in-
dications of disecnitent, bordering on mutiny.
In this state they 'made signals of distress,
and Captain Wingfield, who commanded a
cutter belonging to Hastings, went out with
the determination of piloting the ship in
distress into port, but he was -.unable to
carry his laudable intentions into effect. The
place of the disaster was three miles and ,a half
to the westward of Hastings, on a swampy
shore, which the water leaves at ebb tides ;
though there are some who say—but in all
Christian charity it is to be hoped it was not
so—that this Captain Wingfield agreed for a
sum of money to tow her to Dover, but when he
had got the inoney',lie left her to become a wreck
for the benefit of the Hastings wreck hunters.—
This happened on a Sunday afternoon; in. the
summer season ; and whether Captain Wing-
field did or did not art with treachery, in three
or four' tides she went down deep in the sand ;
and a report was then circulated and believed
that the crew were infected with . the plague, in
consequence of which but little of the cargo was
-;mshipped. In this state the ship has remained,
pith the exception of her Meets, rigging, and
timbers, having been from time to time cut
away down to the surface of the sand, un-
til last March, when about forty labour-
ing men, residents of Bexhill, agreed together
to clear away the sand and mud, and take out
the remainder of the cargo. After a great
deal of labour, they found a box containing ,
'Various sorts of drinking glasses, which were
eagerly purchased at from 10s. to 16s. per pair,
by gentlemen in the neighbourhood ; they also
found a large chest and a cask filled with knives
and beads, which are now run together by the
corrosion of the iron ore. There were some
human bones found between decks, which did
not appear the !east decayed ; they found many
caller things, such as tobacco pipes, bottles, and
2ar, on none, of which time had made any
ravages. It is to be regretted that • the authori-
ties oterfered on
he halt; of the.revenue, and pre-
vented t•:_ie further prOsecution of this investiga-
tion. It w:s the intention of the laboiners to
take every thing :out of the ship, and then break
her up, as the timbe:s and planks are very sound ;
but the Government oacers claimed a duty, and
seized what was of anti conseque:Aly the
enterprise was given up, as Om
who Undertool;
the task were but poor men, and all they found
would not have overpaid them."

PORTUGAL.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

LISBON, AUG. 25.—There is a sort of political
stillness here, which looks like the prelude of a
storm. The Apostolical party know riot, how to act
from apprehensions of the Emperor's arrival ; while
the Liberals are stupified. by the news which the
last packet brought. of the death of their protector.
There is no confirmation of the coming of the Em-
peror, and neither of the conflicting factions dares to
take ally effective step. " What is the news ?" in-
quired a gentleman of my acquaintance from one of
the Apostolical supporters. " None," was the re-
ply, " since the death of the English Eolus ; the
winds have wafted no novelties here."

There is no division or quarrelling spoken of, us
existing in the Cabinet, and the reason is obvious.
Each of the then existing Ministers holds the office
and emoluments of two, that is, the Minister of War
is. also the acting one for Foreign Affairs, the Mi-
nister of Finance is also a Minister of Justice, and
the Minister of the Home Department holds that of
the Marine. It is a state which surprises almost all
parties; for the wish for place and lucre is so great,
that it is wonderful there is no intriguing • for some
of these interim places. The Cabinet, although not
caballing against itself, is not idle
.in removing
others; the Conde de Sampayo, a respectable old
General, has been removed from being Governor of
the province of Estremadura, and General Caula,
the late Governor of Elvas, has been appointed in
his room, ad interim only. The Count de Sampayo
was also dismissed by another decree from the situa-
tion of Inspector-General of the Cavalry, and Major-
General Cardozo appointed in his stead. This
Nobleman, who is generally much respected for his
upright conduct, on the occasion of his dismissal
published the following address to the troops under
his command. It is rather a remarkable circum-
stance, for it is, I believe, the first attempt of a
dismissed Officer to appeal to the opinions of the
people :
Her 13,0yal Highness the Infanta Regent having thought
it proper to 6:mei:ate me from the office of Military Com-
mandant of this city and province, with which I had been,
entrusted, it would be a reprehensible act of neglect, if at
the moment of my dismissal I omitted to declare, as well
to the garrison of this capital, as to the troops of the first.
and second line in this province, my sincerest gratitude for
the good. will with which all the officers, non-commissioned
officers, and soldiers belonging to these corps performed so
promptly and faithfully the orders which I issued to them ;
and I also take the opportunity of recommending to them
in the name of the King and of the country, not only in
the cac4citY of Military Commandant of this district, but
also as a ral in his Majesty's service, that they will not
desist, even one moment, in making the greatest efforts of
love and loyalty for lte defence of the most just and inalien-
able right which Don Pedro, our immortal and most
amiable Sovereign, has to the Crown of this Monarchy
.—of the Constitutional Charter which his Majesty has been
pleased to grant us, and which Fe swear to maintain, and
cause to be maintained, at even the cost of our blood—of
the august person of the most Serene Lady the Infanta Re-
gent, his only and lawful representative in these realms ;
and finally, to the promptest and most punctual obedience
to the orders of the Government, as the organ by which
are communicated legally-to us the determinations which
her Royal Highness may be pleased to adopt.
(Signed) Conde DE SAI%IPAYO.
Lisbon, Aug. 23. _ _ _

. _
The dismissal of the General, to whom Don Mi-
guel is said to have entertained an especial dislike,
is attributed by some to' his attachment to the Con-
stitution, by others to his not having interfered in
the late popular tumults in a more decided manner.
The persons who were put into prison on that occa-
sion, still continue there : so that there is a sort of
despotism existing here at this moment. It is rather
ridiculous to find among the provisions of the Char-
ter, one which guarantees the personal liberty of all
the Portuguese, and to find more than fifty confined
on the vague ground of crying out for a Republic.—
There is no such thing here as an Assize or a Spe-
cial Commission, and those prisouers will be kept
six months in prison, and let out without trial. So
much for the old mode of distributing justice, which
is the only one in practice here, as the sink of the
Law Courts—which are the most corrupt in Europe
---.-has not been purified by any new measures,
There were. willows circulated of some commo-
tions havntr taken place in Madrid for the removal
of ,the InteridaW-rPerieral of Poket who is said to be
a moderate man; they were, it is said, allayed on
his being dismissed.
The Princess Regent continues still to reside at
Cintra, where her health has been triVeh improved.'
It is stated to be. her intention to proceeti, to the
Royal Marine Palace at Caixas, for the benefit of
suit-water baths.

••
The Conde de Villa Mar left, this city yesterday
on board the steam-boat, for Oporto, in order to take
the command of that city from the gallant General
Stubbs, who so successfully defended it against
Chaves and his army in the month of February last.
The British merchants and the lovers of Port wine,
in England, have good reason to thank him for his
exertions at that period; but he is now about to be
removed to a distance—to the Governorship of the
Azores islands.
The heat of the weather, after buying decreased
considerably, has again become very great. , The
vines, which now form the only article of agricultural
interest, have suffered a great deal, for which reason
the price .of wine has risen. The great heat—the
eating of too much fruit—the use of raw sour wine,
and the exposure to the night air, have produced
great-sickness among the British troops. There are
few regiments that have not an extraordinary num-
ber on the sick list. This certainly has been a re-
markably hot summer, and the young men who .com-
pose, the majority of those soldiers, were not suffi-
ciently ileclistomed to campaigning to guard against
the dangers of this climate, which, for men who love
the juice of the grape, are more formidable than
many in England suppose.

In the expectation of hearing every day some cer-
lainty respecting the proceedings of the Emperor,
the spirit of party is now at rest here, but after the
vintage, which will very soon begin, it is expected
to break out wiNl renewed violence. There is talk
of some Guerilla attacks from the Spanish confines
on the Portuguese villages in their neighbourhood,
which the Apostolical party is said to encourage, in
order to keep the flame alive. They have, withiu a
short time, gained much in the Cabinet, and if the
Emperor does not come heore October, they will,
as a Portuguese gentleman said ti me to-day, soon
find means to tear fife Constitution to pieces.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER, BATA ,LISpoZI, AOC:. 25.

The week has elapsed without anything of ma-
terial interest; - and the public, as well as Govern-
ment, appear to have dropped into a kind of slumber.
The Infanta continues to be overpowered by the
fear of republicanism, which the Intendant of Police
has inspired into her mind. She has almost, in
consequence, become a Corcunda, and considers
Bastos as the saviour of the monarchy.

• • -
Count Villa for departed for Oporto yesterday,
by the steam-boat, to take the military command of
that city, instead of General Stubbs, who has been
recalled, and is to undergo a court-martial, on
ac-
count of the address be directed to the Infanta about
General Saldanha's dismission. It appears that
General Stubbs, excited by some deputies from the
canaille of our streets, not only animadverted on
tiuit dismissal, but advised the Infanta to send awa.y
some gf her ladies of honour, to 7.vhose influence
that step vi 4s attributed. He stated, that if her
Royal Highness 1144 not sufficient energy to du it,
and to call hack Saldanika, he would march upon
Lisbon With the troops under his command, on
which he could rely, • to assist her! It is on ac-
count of the hater part of his address that it had
been spread that General Stubbs was recalled to.go
Governor to the Azores.
General Ceuta, late Governor of Elvas, has been
appointed General of this province, instead of old
Count Sampayo, who neglected his duty in the dis,
turbance of last month, and who, in fact, is a Liberal,
but such a whimsical old man that he was not at all
fit for the situation : whilst General Caula, who is
the commander of the corps of engineers, and who is
a very able and respectable officer, proved at Elvas

that he knows how to put down seditions of what-
ever descriptions they are. He is the same that was
Minister of War at Rio Janeiro, after the King had
adhered to the Constitution there.

It is, however, the fate of things here that there
shall always be something disgusting mixed with any
thing regular that appears by chance. The old
Count Sampayo was at the same time inspector of
cavalry, a sort of sinecure, and this appointment was
also taken away from him, to be given to a General
Verissimo, left-hand husband of one of the Infanta's
maids of honour !
Dr. Abrantes' letter to Sir William A'Court has
been distributed here with profusion, but it has pro-
duced no effect.

(I,ROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.)

LISBON, AUG. 25.—Since the sailing of the last
packet, the capital presents little news of interest.
People in general continue to be alarmed for the
Charter. The Apostolic party and the Camarillo
show every day more and more audacity. The
worthy Count Sampayo has been dismissed through
their influence ; and Count de Villa Flor, of whom
the Liberal party now entertain suspicions, is no-
minated Governor of Oporto. The Count went
away yesterday by the steam-boat, to supply the
place of the brave General Stubbs, who is called to
Lisbon on account of his firmness to the Charter and
to Don Pedro.

The faction is very active, and if they had not
been afraid of the King's coming, would by this time
have exhibited wonderful feats. One of the reasons
for which Saldanba was dismissed was, that he would
not sign the decree for Dr. Carvalho, one of the Ca-
marilla, to be Master of the posts of Oporto (Correio
?nor), and that of Count Paraty to be Envoy at the
Court of Turin. Count Paraty is brother to Maria
de Resgate, who belongs to the Camarillo also, but
possesses little influence now.

Jialicial proceedings continue still against the
authors of the late meetings. The Intendant Bastos
looks out for victims, in order that his calumnies
to the Infanta may have sonic appearancel of
reality. Many persons are in custody; and a great
number is expected to be taken, as the prescription
is extensive. The Magistrate who proceeds to the
judicial inquiry is Semblano, known to profess opi-
nions against the Charter. If any respectable man
wishes to make any declaration in favour of the pri-
soners, as lately happened in behalf of two of them,
who were at the time of the shouts out of town,
the magistrate's answer is—" In proper time the
petitioner shall be admitted to give his declarations,
if thought useful."
The Regent continues still at Cintra, and, it is
said, will go by the end of next week to Caxias, to
make use of the sea-baths.

In Spain there have been great troubles; and
letters received to-day from our frontiers mention,
that on the - 16th inst. there was a great rout in
Madrid of the rabble and Royalist volunteers,moved
by the sanguinary Apostolics against Intendant
Recacho, who was obliged to rue away.

FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Gazette de France, dated Tuesday, Sept. 11.)
ODESSA, AUG. 6.—Commerce, which has de-
clined here ever since the beginning of the Greek
insurrection, and seemed in danger of being com-
pletely destroyed, has recovered, since it was known
that the squadrons of the three Powers were soon
to assemble in the Archipelago, to adopt vigorous
measures against piracy, and maintain, with the dig-
nity becoming those Powers, the neutrality which
alone can restore the peace of the East.
The premiums of insurance are already lower, and
will, doubtless, decline still more, in consequence of
the general opinion, that the scenes of carnage in
Greece will soon be stopped, by means of the neu-
trality without the use of hostile measures
towards either of the belligerent powers. For
though at the first sight the obstinate resistance of
the Porte gives reason to apprehend some dangers,
and the declaration in favour of the Greeks, even-
tually stipulated by the Allies, may be the result, a
person must be little acquainted with the symptoms
of politics to believe that the Greeks can expect
more than this mark of good will, and that the
Powers will draw the sword against. Adie infidel., in
case of the continuation of hostilities between the
Turks and Greeks. Are not all the political efforts
of a State, when it forgets its own interest, a kind
of political suicide ? And what interest can France,
England, or even Russia, have in making war on the
Porte, without any hope for any of •th.ose nation* to
govern Greece. No; it is the interest of all to re-
store tranquillity in the East without any hostile
Pleasure, ftnci to solve the difficult problem without
drawing the swo,tiL The instructions of Admiral
Hayden,
which are now generally known here, say—
" The Rear-Admiral will go to the Mediterranean,
and will announce in every port, on arriving in the
Archipelago, that he conies—first, to protect the
Russian commerce; second, to maintain the strictest
neutrality between the contending parties." This
document of the Russian Cabinet will clearly show
the intention carefully to avoid whatever might ap-
pear like an armed intervention between the two
parties.
• When we consider, besides, that Admiral Hey-
den is not to consider any vessels as entitled to Lis
protection but such as can produce a certificate from
the Russian Admiralty, or from the Russian Am-
bassador Constantinople, that Russian merchant-
men aie most strictly enjoined not to take on board
any cargo for account of the Greeks, Turks, or
Egyptians, and that in case these orders are dis-
obeyed by a Russian Captain, he will be tried by a
Court Martial,—that, in consequence of these strict
principles of neutrality, the Russian Admiral is not
to permit a Russian merchantman, sailing under the
protection of the Russian fleet, to be searched by
either of the contending parties—it must be con-
fessed, that at the moment when such orders are
given (from which the instructions of the squadrons
of the other powers in the Archipelago cannot
differ, since they are to act simultaneously) the
treaty signed by the Allied Powers cannot have
bees drawn up with any other intention than that of
re.-establishin tranquillity in the East, by all ima-.
ginable means consistent with a strict system of
neutrality.
IXTRA CT Of A T.ETTN. FROM ALEXANDRIA, JULY 21.

The Viceroy is exerting himself tp accelerate the
departure of his fleet; it is almost certain that it will
be ready to sail by the end of this month. A great
number of large cannon and balls are embarked ; but
provisons come hit slow from the interior, which
has hitherto delayed the departure pf the fleet. A
part of it, however, has begun to go out of port ;. it
consists at present of two ships of the line, four fri-
gates, eighteen corvettes, and 17 smaller vessels,
besides transports. An Algerine frigate and cor-
vette will remain, in consequence of news from Al-
giers : 4,000 troops will he embarked, with 800,000
talaris in money. The Paella has out-done himself
in the preparations for this expedition.* He enjoys
good health, and intends to return immediately to
Cairo, to continue his improvements in the internal
administration there.
The plague has been arrested this Year, by salu-
tary precautions, which may yet be improved. This
important subject will be one of the tirst to which Ma-
homed Ali will direct his attention. The Russian
Consul-General arrived on the 15th of July,
without
accident, but has been prevented by opthalmis
from making his entry as Consul.

irritated against the Intendant of Police, who thought
it prudent to save himself from his numeroas enemies
.by flight. The intimacy that exists between M.
Calomarde and the Duke de San Carlos, is remark-
ed with satisfaction, and both seem to act in concert
for the consolidation or legitimate power. Extra-
ordinary couriers continue to arrive ; many of thins
proceed on the road to Portugal, where the Infant,
Don Miguel, is on the point of going : an Aus-
trian courier, lately arrived, leaves no doubt upon
that point.

The last letters from the Army of Observation are
very favourable; the troops who had been assem-
bled in the vicinity of Arenas, have returned to their
old quarters.

The establishment of a Tribunal of Commerce ap-
pears certain. Messrs. Angulo, Caballero, and other
merchants, who at first refused to be concerned in
it, have yielded to the entreaties which have been
used with them.

PARIS, SEPT. 9.—The King on leaving Cambrai
presented the Mayor, M. Bethune Houriez. with a
magnificent golden box,enrich ed with his cipher, in dia-

His Majesty the King of the Low Countries has
directed, that from the Ist of January, 1829, no
burials should take place in any Churches, Chapels,
Oratories, whether public, private, or upon founda-
tions, in any part of the Kingdom, except in com-
munes, where the population should not exceed
1,000 souls.

Several Russian and English couriers have passed
one another at Prussels going to London and St.
Petersburgh.
The audacity of some thieves is extreme. The
night before last several endeavoured to carry off the
heavy iron railing which encircles and protects the
column in the Place Vendome; the soldiers of the
Etat-major, on hearing the noise, came up and the
robbers made off. U You will see," says the Jour-
nal des Voyageurs on this subject, " that it will soon
become necessary every night to march the column
into the corps de garde."

Crown, which will continue to pay the old officials
of the Holy Office, and to pay the temporary or per-
petual pensions with which the property of the In..
quisition was burdened. The letters that we receive
from the Provinces announce, that every where the
news of the overthrowing of the Police has given
rise to disorders. The Apostolics are no longer kept
down by the fear which that administration imposed
upon them.

MADRID, AUG. 30.—Amongst the plans of re-
form proposed by the Connell of State in the budget
for the year 1828, is one very remarkable—namely,
the reduction of the Royal r
Guard. The Council
proposes to place it on its ancient footing, and shows
that in the existing state of the public revenue it is
impossible to provide for the maintenance of the
Guard without some other branch of the public ser-
vice suffering thereby. If the recommendation of
the Council should be acted upon, the Guard will
be reduced to three regiments of infantry—one com 7
posed of foreigners, and the other two of natives ; a
regiment of horse riflemen, a company of halberdiers,
and four companies of Life-guards.
The budget is accompanied by a kind of memo-
randum, drawn up by M. Erro, in which that ex-
Minister of Finances proves, that on his quitting
office, he left in the coffers of the. Treasury very con-
siderable sums, and that the expenditure of these
sums is by no Means accounted for in the accounts
of M. Ballasteros, his successor, and the present
Minister of Finance.

Not only has the King refused to acquiesce iu the

All the Ambassadors went to kiss hands at St.
Ildefonsa, on the morning of St. Louis's day; but
although it is their custom on such occasions to
return the same day, they have not yet come hack
—a circumstance which has given rise to much ob-
servation. Some persOns pretend to discover in
this prolongeil stay of - the ArnbaSsidors, a simulta-
neous nttempt to obtain some 'official explanations
respecting the troubles in Catalonia. Such expla.
nations have already been dethanded by Mr. Lamb.

An extraordinary courier has brought from Rome
an answer to our objections to the appointment of
the American Bishops. It consists merely of a re-

city of an arrangement calculated to conciliate the
spiritual interests of the americans, without injuring
the temporal interests of Spain, and to an answer of
the Duke which placed the care of this matter in a
manner almost exclusive and absolute in the hands
of the Sovereign Pontiff.
Letters from Tordesillas, in Old Castile, state
that M. IRecacho, on arriving at that city, quitted
his carriage and mounted a mule to prosecute Iris
further journey to Oviedo, by cross-roads, in order
to avoid a continuance of theinsults of the populace,
to which he had been heretofore subjected in many
towns through which he passed.

At Saragossa, Burgos, Toledo, and Santiago, in
Galicia, the suspension of the police system has
been the signal for the old disorders, perSecutions,
and insults of every description. At Murcia the
event has been celebrated by 'the ringing of bells, by
illuminations, and the discharge of fireworks.
At Medina del Campo, the officers who were
there on indefinite leave of absence, have been
placed in prison, as well as a canon and many
curates, who are supposed to entertain liberal
opinions.

LATIN AND LABOUR.--.The following anec-
dote was related by the late John Adams, even
to the last days of his life, 'with all that good
humour which was so characteristic of him, and
it is presumed has not yet passed away from the
minds of many who have heard it from his own
lips ; a few only of his strong expressions are re-
membered. When I was a boy I had to study
the Latin grammar, but it was dull, and I hated
it. My father was anxious to send, me to Col-
lege, and therefore I studied the grammar till I
could bear with it no longer ; and, going to my
father, I told him I did not like study, and asked
for some other employment. It was opposing
his wishes and he was quick in his answer.—
' Well, John,' said he, if Latin grammar does
not suit you, you may try ditching, perhaps that
will ; my meadow yonder needs a ditch, and you
may put by Latin and try 'that. This seemed a
delightful change, and to the meadow I went.
But I soon found ditching harder than Latin,
and the first forenoon was the longest I. ever ex-
perienced. That day I ate the bread of labour,
and glad was I when night came on. That
night I made some comparison between Latin
grammar and ditching, but said not a word about
it. I dug the next forenoon, and wanted to re-
turn to Latin at dinner, but it was humiliating,
and I could not do it. At night toil conquered
ride, and I told *Tattier, one of the severest
,Trials o
back to Latin grammar. He was glad of it ; and
-
have(iflrn
siy ;life, that, if he chose, I would . got
hasnce gained any distinction,
been owing to the two days labour in that
abominable ditch."..--Salem Gazette.

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 13, 1827.

Mr. STANLEY, Member for Preston, haalleen
appointed to succeed Mr. WILMOT HORTON,
as Under Secretary of State for the Colonial
Department. The talents whicir Mr. STANLEY
has already displayed in the House of Commons,
afford the best proof of his fitness for the post to
which he has been called, while the fact of his
being the representative of one of the most
ancient Whig families in the kingdom, is a con-
clusive answer to those who insinuate that any
diversity of principles exists between the Members
of the present Cabhaet. We need not add, that
Mr. STANLEY is the son of Lord STANLEY,
the eldest son of the Earl of DERBY.

His MAJESTY has been pleased to advance
the Earl of DARLINGTON to the dignity of a
Marquis, by the title of Marquis of CLEVE-

The Paris Papers of Monday, and the Gazette
de France dated Tuesday morning, reached us
last night. An article, under date of Odessa,
Aug. 6, inserted in the Gazette de France,
labours to prove that hostilities between Russia
and the Porte are not likely to be the consequence
of the recent Treaty,—that the instructions to
the Admiral commanding the Russian Naval
Contingent in the Mediterranean, direct him to
maintain the strictest neutrality, and the sole
object of the Treaty is to re-establish tranquillity
in the East. •

Tbi3 article is evidently put forth solely with
the view of quieting commercial uneasiness, and
cannot be considered as entitled to the conse-

quence given to it by some of our cotemporaries.
The Gazette de France, in its next article,
repeats the notification given to the Pael►a of
EGYPT, that the allied squadrons would not
permit his reinforcements to go to Greece, and
thus proves that a system of .neutrality is not the
principle upon which the Great Powers intend to
act. Their object is to rescue Greece from the
grasp of its oppressors, and they will accomplish
this purpose even by an armed interference, if
the Porte will not abandon its hostile exertions
to conquer that unfortunate country. Whether
the SULTAN will risk the vengeance of the three
most powerful nations on the face of the globe
remains still to be seen.

The accounts from Madrid contain nothing
new,, if we except a statement contained in a
private letter that an Austrian Courier had arrived
in that Capital to announce that Don MIGUEL
was about immediately to proceed to Portugal.
The news from Lisbon comes down no later than,
that which reached us yesterday.
Further details are given of the journey of the
King Of FRANCE. HiS MAJESTY appears to
be well received every where. We are satisfied
that the loyalty of a Nation is greatly increased
by the Sovereign allowing his people opportuni-
ties of seeing him.
The French Funds declined on Monday. We
subjoin their prices, and extracts of the Papers
will be found in another column.

In addition to the letter which we published
ycsterday from Alexandria, dated 21st July,
we have been favoured with the perusal of other
communications from thence of the same date.
Rumours had reached Alexandria of the inten-
tion' of the European Governments respecting
Greece ; but the Treaty itself had not arrived.
Cap
had had an audience of the PACHA,
and it w
supposed that he had officially com-
municated HAMILTON, of His Majesty's ship
Cambrian, aa:'
the.intentio3 dal: Allied Sovereigns.

The conference had, however, no visible effect
in checking the military. and naval preparations
of the PAcHA. The fleet, according to report,
would sail the first week in August, and would
consist of two line-of-battle ships, eleven or
twelve large frigates, and about 6,000 men.
The number of banal' vessels and transports, and
ships of every kind, is stated at 100 sail. His
Majesty's ship Gannet had sailed to cruise
against pirates: she would in the first place pro-
ceed to the Island of Candid.

We-received last night Dutch Papers of the
11th inst., and the Allgenzeine Zeitutig and a
Frankfort paper of the 6th, from which we make
the following extracts. At the date of the latest
accounts from Constantinople, namely the 11th
August, the Ministers had still refrained from
presenting the Ultimatum to the Porte :

FRANKFORT, SEPT. 7.—With respect to the delivery of
the Ultimatum to the Porte, we have no certain news, and
it is at present difficult, if not impossible, to say any thing
positive of the sentiments of the Porte with.regard to the
convention of the European Powers. There are reports
and conjectures in abundance, and while some pretend
that however uneasy the Porte may seem at the command
of the Allied Cabinet, it is not inclined to yield, others
assert that, when it comes to the last extremity, it will not
fail to accede to the terms proposed for the pacification of
Greece.

The English frigate Ariadne, with the Alacrity and
Pelican brigs, has sailed from Corfu; to take possession of
the Rock of Carabusa, which has long been the retreat of
the pirates who infest those seas.

The Ariadne French frigate, the French brig Palinure,
and the English brig Gannet, cruise off Caudia, watching
for some pirates who have lately plundered ,several ships,
and among others a rich English merchantman.
The Juno frigate, and two other French men of war are
in the harbour of Alexandria, to watch the motions of an .
Algerine frigate of 58 guns and a corvellte of 36 guns, dose
to which they lie at anchor.
Aitrwitar, Sam 6.—The Rev. M. Buelers, a Roman
Catholic Priest, has been sentenced by the Court of Assize
to a year's imprisonment for. a certain Latin Poem.

Ritussims,Sarr. 9.—His Majesty the King of Franca
arrived at Lille yesterday. It is said that a number of
the inhabitants of that city have voluntarily offered to go
to meet and receive his Royal Highness the Prince of
Orange.

The Camp at St. Omer must be very fine. The officers
and soldiers will receive an addition to their pay while his
Majesty is present, and it is supposed the officers will be
presented with a month's pay. The soldiers have suffered
a good deal by the continued rains, and it is said there are
many sick.
Count Agoult, French Ambassador to this Court, who
went some days ago to St. Omer, to pay his respects to his
Sovereign, is appointed Ambassador to Berlin, instead of
Count St. Priest, who goes in the same capacity to Madrid.
UTRECHT, SEPT. 9.—A private letter firom Groningen,
of the Ist instant, gives an unfavourable account of the
state of the disorder in that city. The weather not being
so warm as last year, we may hope there will be fewer
sick ; and, indeed, the sickness has set in later this year,
but has lately become more violent. In the week ending
7th September, there were thirty-three deaths and nine
births. The preceding week there were thirty-nine deaths.'
CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 11.—The Imperial Russian
Ambassador, M. de Ribeaupierre, probably in consequence
of the London Convention of the 6th July, has issued a
Circular to the Captains of all Russian ships, forbidding
them to take on board ammunition or provision for the
belligerent Powers, under pain of confiscation. The order
is supposed to be introductory to the measures to be carried
into effect by the Allied. Powers for the pacification of
Greece. The Ultimatum has not yet been presented by
the three Ministers, and the Porte does not seem disposed
to receive it favourably. The capital is tranquil, and there
is no sign of the assembling of an army on the Danube,
though some artillery has been sent in that direction.
SMYRNA, Ana. 4.—We have no news from-Napoli di
Romania since the 16th July. We are equally uninformed
of the state of Greece, and of the operations of Redschid
Pacha and Ibrahim. The latter appears to be waiting for
reinforcements front Egypt. The famous Dr. Pariset, who
went in 1818 to Spain, to stay the nature of the yellow
fever at Barcelona, is expected at Smyrna: He is going to
.different ports, of Asia, to investigate the nature of rbe.
cholera morbus, which is a more fatal scourge than even
the plague itself.

Our advices from Constantinople give us every
reason to believe, and in the best informed circles
of that capital the conviction was entertained,
that the Porte would give way to the re-
monstrances and active measures of the three
combined Powers for the liberation of Greece,
Times.

By the undermentioned account it appears
the French trade was suffering severely by the captures
made by Algerine corsairs, a number of which, it appears,
have got to sea in spite of the French blockade, which is
by no means effective. Added to this, it is reported
not to be, difficult to find Algerine letters of marque cut
and dried, ready to be filled up and executed, for vessels
sailing from neutral ports, and which will be doubtless
acted upon by needful adventurers without principle or
common honesty. We have been told of letters of marque
of this description having been actually offered for sale
even in this country. ;

PARIS, SEPT. 9.—The Antis Lenoir, from
.
Havre to Barcelona, was boarded off Lisbon by a Tunisian
corsair. A letter from Marseilles states, that an Algerino
corsair has tarried into Tuuis a French vessel, -which
would be sold : also that a French vessel from the Colonies
has been carried into Algiers, and the cargo Ell. The
.Eole, from the coast of Brittany to Marseilles, is reported
to be taken.

PARTS, SEPT. 10.--A.priYateer'has appeared
in the neighbourhood of the Canaries, and already captured
a vessel laden with oil.

NAVY OF TIIE UNITED STATES.—The
Navy of the United States, when all the vessels authorized
to be built are afloat, as nearly every one of them may be
speedily if required, will consist of 12 sail of the line, 20
frigates, 16 sloops of war, and seven other vessel', exclu-
sive of those on the Lakes ; to man, they would require
more than twenty thousand men, one half of which must be
seamen.

His Majesty's sloop of war Britomail, Cap-
tain Chamier, on the 12th July, was at Tampico de Ta-
manlipis, waiting for specie for England. .

The Norfolk Board of Health (America)
having reason to believe that malignant disease exists in
the Havannali and other.parta of the island of. Cuba, have
ordered, that all vessels arriving from any porta of the said
island of Cuba, do come to an anchor at the Quarantine-
ground, there to visited by the Health-officer. •

• We are happy to state that his' Grace the
Duke of Northumberland has generously returned 20 per
cent., to his tenants on the Backworth estate, at the half
year's audit.

Matthew Lansberg (the Francis Moore of the
Continent) observes, in his last publication, that "if you
wish to have a shoe of durable materials, you should make
the upper leather of the mouth of a hard-drinker;—for
that never lets in water."

We have had a great increase of fashionable
visitors this week, and houses and lodgings in good situa-
tions have become scarce. On the Marine-parade, one day
last week, there were only three bills to be seen.—Brigh-
ton Paper.

In Daghestan, on the borders of the Caspian,
are found the largest partridges, probably in the world ;
their weight sometimes exceeding 21b.

The Sale of the Theological and Classical
Library of the late Rev. Dr. Garrow, son of Mr. Baron
Garrow, took place on Friday last, at the Rectory House,
East Barnet.

The Twopenny Post-office in the Royal Ar-
cade, at the back of the Opera-house, was entered on Sur
day morning by a picklock, and cash and notes stoleo
the amount of 911., 101. worth of bill and receipt stator'
silver spoons, shop goods, bed and table linen, and ritri°l
other Wicks, above 801. value.
