the professed, object of libel hunters—why not
rest content with one action ? Is the article so
vile that it requires such earnest repetition—as
butchers are more strenuous in selling their meat
the more fly-blown it becomes ? Really a good
reputation will keep in all weathers ; and men,
conscious of its possession, will scorn to have it
proved before a Jury of their country. The
rich man makes no affidavit of his wealth—it is
only the adventurer, who, endeavours to make
up in sound what he knows is wanting in sub-
stance.

A report was circulated this morning, that
Mr. CANNING was seriously indisposed. We
can assure our readers that the Right Hon.
Gentleman is in excellent health.

We are happy to add, that Mr. HUSKISSON'S
health is improved, and we may say the same of
Mr. HERRIES.

As some of our readers may occasionally have
the felicity of perusing that organ of veracity and
of the Ultras—the John Bull newspaper, we
would warn them against giving any credence
to the contents of its columns, when the present
Administration is the subject of discussion.
On Sunday last it trumped up two atrocious
falsehoods, about Mr. BROUGHAM'S brother and
Mr. TIERNEY'S son, having being appointed
Commissioners of the Customs. We are not
aware of any objection to the appointments if they
had taken place ; but we simply beg to state,
that the whole story is a piece of pure invention.

Frankfort, and other German Papers to the
10th inst., have reached us this forenoon. They
furnish no political intelligence, but we subjoin
some miscellaneous extracts :

MUNICH, JUNE 9.
The son of the heroic Michael Bozzaris, a boy of eleven
years of age, arrived here yesterday with his attendant, a
Suliot, one of the companions in arms of his brave father.
His mother, whom he left at Zante, sends him to his Majesty
the King, who has promised to provide for his education.
She has declared to his Majesty, that she could not pi evionsly
persuade herself to part with her child, though many offers
even from crowned heads had been made to her. The
boy is very well looking, very amiable in his manners, and
his companion is 'n appearance and manner quite a heroic
figure. Both attract the notice of the public by their na-
tional costume, and their long black hair hanging down
their shoulders. At the same time with them, but
through a different channel, we have at length accounts of
our countrymen in Greece, by letters which several of them
sent from Egina the 10th May, and thus an end is put to
the reports concerning them, which have alarmed the pub-
lic since we learned of the battle at Cape Kolias. They
were not present at that unhappy affair. Being detained to
the last moment at Egina, by his duties relative to the distri-
bution of provisions and ammunition for the army and the
fleet, Lieut.-Colonel Heidegger had not been able to obtain,
the evening before the battle, a boat to convey him and his
companions to Attica ; and the following day they received
the news of the unhappy catastrophe, in which 1,000
Greeks perished in the field of battle, and 600 were made
prisoners. For these, too, the Seraskier prepared the fate
of their fallen companions. He caused their hands to be
bound, had them drawn up in order, and beheaded in suc-
cession in his presence. The same fate befel a consider-
able number of German, French, and Swiss Officers, who
fell into his hands. One of them, a Corsican, celebrated
for his valour, spit in the face of the Turk who came to
cut off his head. One of the letters that have been re-
ceived, states, as the - chief cause of the defeat of
the Greeks, the imprudence with which they advanced,
thinking that their arrival was unknown to the Turks.
Thus they fell into an ambush, and found themselves sud-
denly attacked in the rear, by the Turkish cavalry, which
had kept itself concealed on their flanks, behiud rocks and
olive woods. The determination of the Bavarian officers
to leave Greece has no connection with these disasters, but
was adopted previously, on their feeling convinced that as
individuals they could be of no service to the Greeks.
Lieutenant-Colonel Schnitzlein, of the artillery, and the

a►tilleryman Ruprecht, who have already rendered valuable
services, remained with Lieutenant-Colonel Heidegger, who
is at present in the island of Milo. His Majesty has, for
these 12 years possessed an estate there, in which are the
fine ruins of the old theatre, near to which was found the
celebrated statue of Venus, now in the Museum at Paris.
Colonel Heidegger will set some workmen to search for
antiquities, and then return to his companions at Poros.

FROM THE FRONTIERS OF POLAND, JUNE 24.—The
visit of Field Marshal the Count of Ostensacken to St.
Petersburgh, was believed, in that city, to be directly con-
nected with the measures which will be adopted, in case
the Porte should persist in declining the intervention of the
Allied Courts.

ITALY, JULY 4.--The dreadful hurricane which lately
visited almost all Calabria, has done considerable damage,
that in Reggio alone being estimated at a million ducats. The
district of Calona is converted into a lake, which in many
places is 35 feet deep. TWo thirds of Gallico are destroyed,
and one third of the unfortunate inhabitants perished
in the waves ; from the town of Giovanni to Reggio
the whole country is a sea; in the neighbourhood of the
latter a water volcano has A►een formed, which continues to
extend, and lays waste the country. The hurricane con-
tinued, and the inhabitants were in daily apprehension of
hearing of further misfortunes. Many ships were lost,
one with 62 passengers, few of whom were saved.
7anxicn, JULY 5.
By his Majesty's commands, the necessary survey and
plans are making for a canal to join the Danube and the

Maine.
A quarter-master of the name of Kohrs, of the Ist regi-
ment of light-horse, who has been missing ever since the
campaign in Russia, in 1812, returned a few days ago, to
his native city, Munich, after having been fifteen years in
e Siberia.

Accounts from Cagliari of the 19th June,
state, that the VICEROY has caused all the gar-
risons along the sea-coast to be reinforced, and
given orders for all the batteries to be prepared,
in order to prevent the Algerines from disem-
barking ; the same measures have been adopted
on the side of Corsica. Means have also been
taken to protect the Isles of Baleros, and it ap-
pears that the hostilities of the French squadron
against Algiers are reduced to a strict blockade,
not having sufficient force to bombard the city.

Letters dated Palermo, 21st ult. mention two
shocks of an earthquake having taken place in
that neighbourhood ; the first was unattended
with much alarm, but the second created the
greatest agitation, and was extremely violent ;
neither, we are happy to state, were attended
with loss of life or any material damage.

O'CONIsTELL—PATENT OF PRECE-
DENCE.—We have heard, from good authority,
that the Pate►:t of Precedence for Mr. O'Con-
nell is made out.—Dublin Morning Register.
THE LAKES.—The nobility and gentry are
now hurrying to this rendezvous—the scene of
water and wood." The Lord Bishop of the
Diocese is shortly expected at Rydal, where
a pretty little Ivy Cottage is fitting up for
his reception. The worthy Diocesan is ex-
Ipected to stay two or-three months.— Westmore-
land Advertiser.
