WOOLWICH.

The presentation of colours by his Royal
Highness the Duke of Clarence to the Wool-
wich division of Marines, took place yesterday,
and was to have been followed by a review of
that corps, and of the Artillery stationed at the
Woolwich depot ; but, unfortunately for those
persons who had gone from London, in order to
witness the spectacle, in consequence of the ex-
tremely unfavourable state of the weather, all
those parts of the display which were to ,have
taken place without doors, were unavoidably
abandoned. Just before ten o'clock, the hour
at which the troops were meant to have been pa-
raded, the rain, which had threatened during the
whole morning, began to come slowly down;
and, after a delay of two hours, in hopes of a
favourable change, which did not take place, it
was at length agreed that the inspection of the
corps of Marines, and the presentation of their
colours, should take place in the Riding House
of the Royal Artillery, and that the review, or
whatever farther evolutions were intended to
take place in the open air, should be omitted.—
Previous to this decision, however, the Artil-
lery and the Marines had both been pa-
raded, in expectation that the regular business
could be proceeded with, and the aspect of affairs
on the parade-ground (the " Barrack-field")
might have been laughed at, if it had not made
so many people miserable. Numbers of car-,
riages filled with ladies, as well as of horsemen,
had been upon the ground since soon after ton
o'clock ; a..a -e _n wno were not
in close vehicles, were already drenched to the
skin. In every direction, officers were seen in their
full dress uniforms endeavouring, by the help of
a cloak or umbrella, to screen themselves a little
from the weather ; and the ruinous mischief
which was accruing tO.the.best suits of both offi-
cers and men—dressed especially for the occasion
too—was provoking to the charity even of a
fellow-suffering spectator. At last all prospect
of a " holding up seemed at an end, for the sun
did not
the rain had made. About half-past 12 o'clock
peep out even to look at the mischief
the corps of Artillery (with the exception of the
horse who kept the ground) re-marched into
their barracks, and the corps of Marines proceed,-
ed to the Artillery Riding-house, into which,
from its confined area, it was, of course, impos-
sible for the public to be admitted ; in fact, a
very small number of persons indeed, even
of those to whom peculiar facilities would
have been afforded, could be found rqom for be-
yond those who were immediately engaged in the
duty of the
o'clock, a
his Royal
day. At about a quarter before one
under all these discouraeing circumstances,
upon the ground, Highness the Duke °of Clarrnee arrived
y„
the officers of his and. walked, surrounded by
the suite, through two lines of
dripping spectators, from the barracks to the
Riding-house.
His Highness was dressed in
his plain Admiral's uniform,
vigorous and hearty :
he had no military escort
with him. About five
Du-
chess followed in a plaint greenafter;s
cari a
accom-
panied by the Princess Aut,eusta,and the Duchess
of Gloucester, and attended et, henu-
by g
the Horse Ar-
tillery. The ceremony of inspecting the Marines
then commenced within the building
; after
which the corps received its colours from the
hands of her Royal Highness the Duchess of
Clarence. in the mean time, the persons who
had collected without floors waited with great
endurance still in the rain, in hope that some
sight might yet reward their patience : the wet
continued, however, incessantly, and this was not
the case. At half-past two o'clock the whole busi;.
ness terminated, and the soldiers were dismissed
to their respective barracks. His Royal High,
ness then entered his carriage, and proceeded to
the Green Man, on Blackheath, where he en:.
tertained a large party of field-officers to break
fast at three o clock. In going and.returning
their Royal Highnesses received the cheers of
the spectators ; but the unfortunate state of the
weather threw a damp over the whole circum-
stances of the day.

The state of the parish of Dalmeny, and the ex-
traordinary spectacles it has lately witnessed, have
for some time occupied the attention of the public;
but all the scenes which have yet taken place were
far surpassed and outdone by that exhibited yester-
day, which we will venture to say is almost unique
in the history of the Church. About half-past
eleven o'clock the church gate was opened for the
admission of the paoplt into the church-yard, but
the door of the church was kept shut till about
noon, when the Minister of the Parish appeared,
preceded by the bellman, who held the key of the
church in one hand,and a bell in the other (a hand-•
bell is used),Pand . marched forward to open the
church door. This done the people immediately
rushed in after the Minister, and when they were
fairly assembled, the bellman came out and rang the
church bell. In about three minutes after this, the
Rev. Mr. Fleming of Carriden, the clergyman ap-
pointed to officiate by the Presbytery, made his
appearance, attended by a number of the most re-
spectable parishioners, who proceeded along wieh
;Am to the church. On their entrance, they found
Mr. Greig engaged in reading out a psalm. When
this was completed, Mr. Fleming rose, and address-
ing Mr. Greig, stated that he had been sent .by the
Presbytery to preach; upon which the latter imme-
diately
replied, " I deny your authority ; hold your
tongue, Sir," and rising, looked down upon the
precentor, calling out, " Go on, John; go on with
the service." After some little remonstrance on
the part of Mr. Fleming, which was answered by Mr.
Greig in a furious tone of voice, the former proceeded
to read the order of Presbytery, frequently interrupt-
ed by Mr. Greig with exclamations of " Hold your
tongue; 'tis nonsense, Sir," and vociferous orders to
to retire. Mr. Fleming,however, disregarded these in-
terjectional annoyances, and when he had fin: shed read-
ing the order, addressed the congregation, admonish-
ing them to beware of receiving any church privileges
at the hands of Mr. Greig, as their doing so would
be illegal, and subject them to ecclesiastical censure,
Mr. Greig being, to all intents and purposes a sus-
pended clergyman. Having concluded this address,
Mr. Fleming left the church, accompanied by about
thirty of the most respectable parishioners, and being
still anxious to comply with the order of Presbytery,
repaired to the school-room with an intention to
preach. Upon reconsideration, however, he thought
it would be more advisable to abstain from doing so;
and, accordingly, he stated to the people assembled,
that having done what he accounted his duty, he
conceived that it would be indecorous to exhibit the
appearance of a contest, in such extraordinary cir-
cumstances ; that it accorded better with his diame-
ter as a clergyman to be silent; and that following
a different course would place them upon a level with
Mr. Greig, who had acted in a manner which he
did not think it necessary to characterise. Finally,
he admonished them to retire to their homes, and
spend the remainder of the Sabbath in the way they
judged most becoming.—Caledonian Mercury.

In Turkey the Jews, from a certain age, pay
poll tax. If.the perioil of payment be disputed, a string
is put round the lad's neck, and afterwards doubled in
length and put in his mouth ; if it then pass over his
head, he is deemed an abject of taxation. Each Jew ap-
pears in person to pay his quota; this done, the tax col-
lector touches him on the head with a switch, and cries,
" Jump !" on which the poor Jew is allowed to depart.

It is expected that, in future, the Recorder's
reports will not be so long delayed as was formerly the
case. It often occurred that the miserable convicts were
kept in a state of suspense for sevcl•al months. Since the
present Ministers have been in power, the Recorder has
been ordered to make his report as soon after the termina-
tion of the sessions as convenience and propriety would ad-
mit. This regularity is highly becoming, and has given
much satisfaction to those who are acquainted with the
subject.

General Foy bears the following testimony to
the spirit, activity, and humanity of Sir R. Wilson :
" Fourteen hundred French prisoners were nearly massa-
cred by the Portuguese, and they sought protection on
board the English vessels in the river Douro. The assail-
ants embarked in boats, surrounded the ships, and tried to
board them. The soldiers (230) bad only 60 cartridges
per man for their defence. The bishop and the magistrates
interposed; their influence, however, would have been
unavailing but for the presence of Sir R. Wilson, colonel
of a newly levied Portuguese corps organizing at the ex-
pence of England. This generous enemy succeeded, at
the risk of his own life, in rescuing the luckless French
from the rage of the people. But he could save only t 10;.•
lives."
uAt A,l,lliss E.--Between twelve - and one
o'clock this morning, the rain which had fallen heavily all
day, poured suddenly down in redoubled torrents, with all
the impetuosity of a tropical deluge; the wind rose to a
hurricane, and roared so loud, that the peals of thunder
with which it was accompanied, were only distinguishable
on account of the vivid flashes of lightning which preceded
them. The storm came from the South, and must, we
fear, have done seine damage to the shipping, if it ex-
tended to the roast. At the hour at which it took place,
we could not, of course, ascertain whether any injury had
been done in town. We could not trace its ravages, we

On Wednesday last, the Coroner and Jury,
who sat on the body of Gregson, who was murdered in
Bridge-street, assembled in the Town Hall, for the purpose
of signing the inquest, when Thornton was again brought
up. He was not altered much in appearance, and kept
the same silence as when last before the Court. Previous
to his commitment being signed, he was asked by the
Coroner if he had any thing to say why he should not be
committed to Lancaster Castle, to take his trial for the
murder of Gregson? After some little hesitation, he re-
" No." When about to be taken from the Hall, he,
with the greatest composure, bared his wrists, for the
purpose of being handcuffed ; and leaving the Hall, he
met his sister, who was, if possible, less .erected than her
brother at the awful situation in which he is Pl4ced
by having a crime of such frightful magnitude laid to his
charge. A very considerable crowd of persons assembled
to gratify their curiosity by a sight of Thornton, when
passing the lock-up.bouse, on his being sent off on therm]
to Lancaster, about an hour afterwards, in the custody of
Locket.—Manchester Illercury, Oct. 9.

- ALLEGED MURDER.—A shocking occur-
rence took place on Friday at Pennicuik Fair, of which the
following are the leading facts :—Two persons, of the
names of Cleghorn and Henderson, who had formerly
quarrelled, and consequently did not regard each other with
friendly feelings, met at the fair. Some words passed be-
tween them ; when Cleghorn went home, (about a mile
from Pennicuik,) and procured a lo4ded gun. Having
thus armed himself, he went in search of Henderson, with
the intention, as is supposed, of shooting him ; but not
finding him in the fair, he stationed himself in a planta-
tion near Kirk-hill, past which he knew Henderson would
return on his way home. Information of this circumstance
being brought to Pennicuik, a man named Nevison, who
bad formerly acted as a constable, and three or four other
persons, proceeded to the place where Cleghorn was lying
in wait, with a view to dissuade him from his murderous
intention. Having come near enough to speak to Cleghorn,
Nevison, who was in advance of his companions, seeing him
levelling the gun, said, " Surely you will not shoot sue ;"
but the words had hardly escaped his lips, till the gun was
fired, and he received its contents in his
i breast. lie was
killed on the spot. One of the party instantly rushed for-
ward to seize Cleghorn, but he was knocked down by a

THE FANCY.

Tisdale and Dick Curtis both arrived in town on Tues-
day night ; the firmer sheaved at Jack Randall's, but the
latter went to his " lawful home." Tisdale eomplaifled
of his upper works ; but his friends were satisfied that he
had done his best. Dick has got the snuffles from the
taps be received on the smeller ; and his right eye is in
mourning. Paying and receiving was the order of the
night at the Castle last evening ; and the stake money is to
be paid over at the same house on Friday evening, when
both men will be present.—lf Curtis fancies it, Jack Ran-
dall can be matched against him on the same night, for
3001., each getting as well as he can.
Tisdale takes his benefit at the Tennis Court this day,
and a grand muster of the pugilistic corps will assemble to
"go their hardest" in his behalf. Thu game of Tisdale
entitles him to every consideration ; and Dick confesses he
never encountered a better man.

The whole of the stakes for the fights between Reuben
Marten and Young Gas, and Young Dutch Sam and Bishop

perceive is sufficiently recovered to be able to take his part
as usual.

LIBERALITY OF GEORGE THE FOURTH.--
The following proofs of the liberal and generous feelings
manifested by the present King, we have received from an
unquestionable source. The case of a worthy, but poor
Baptist Minister, was some time sincif, represented to his
Majesty as one needing pecuniary assistance; the King de-
sired that one shilling per day should be paid him for his
life. A pour orphan child belonging to one of the Dis-
senting Sunday Schools in the City, was also spoken of to
his Majesty, as one deserving attention. He instantly de-
sired that she should he supported at his personal expence.
We are assured that many similar cases of the King's regard
for his people, irrespective of their religious opinions,
might
be mentioned to his honour.— World.

On the night of Sunday se'nnight, three pri-
soners who had been committed to the Guard-house in Trow-
bridge, made their escape by taking up some of the flooring
leading to the common sewer, and have not since been
heard of.

Yesterday evening, between six and seven
nearly
o'clock, two smartly dressed men, in a state of intoxica-
St. Br church, the
tion, drove furiously up Fleet-street in a gig. On arriving
chaise came in contact with a cart ; the shock was so great
that the vehicle was upset, and both the gentlemen were
thrown into the street ; the animal being frightened, conti-
nued its course for some distance, dragging the chaise,
opposite the opening by ide's
which was considerably shattered, behind. The gentlemen
were taken up, one of them nearly in a state of insensibility,
and conveyed into the oil-shop close by ; the other's face
was much lacerated, and his coat nearly torn from his back.
The horse was stopped without doing further mischief.
Milton did not begin to write Paradise Lost
until he was 47 years of age. He sold it for 51. to Samuel
Simmons, April 27, 1667. In two years more, he had 51.
for the second edition. In 1680, Mrs. Milton sold all her
right for 81. Simmons then sold the copyright for 251.
It is an extraordinary fact that Milton had great difficulty
in getting the book licensed. Dr. Bentley, the first editor
of the Paradise Lost, got 100 guineas for his edition. Dr.
Newton, the next editor, got 6301. for the Paradise Lost,
and 100
.guineas for the Regained. It was an extraordi-
nary misjudgment of the celebrated Waller, who speaks
thus of the first appearance of Paradise Lost The
old blind schoolmaster, John Milton, bath published a
tedious Poem on the Fall of Man ; if its length be not
considered a merit, it has no other."

The praises of Lord Byron's genius outstrip in enthu-
siasm any thing I have heard in England. There is hardly
a print-shop, or stall, or book-shop of any kind, where a
bust or a head of his Lordship or Sir Walter, don't attract
your eye. So that, in this at least, we must allow the
nation shews itself sufficiently disinterested : in fact, to
judge from all you see and hear, you would suppose there
were but two men of genius in the world, and these the
authors of Childe Harold and Waverley. Sir Walter .is
only known for his novels; the poetry having had its
" dreary fuit" long since.
Spent the evening at the house of Madame Lefevre, the
widow of one of Napoleon's most favourite Generals : and
here I found matter for the preacher. This lady, still in
youth and beauty, lives in retirement, devoted to the edu-
cation of an only child ; beyond which employment, the
vanities of the world appear to have for her but small at-
traction. Her apartinents are hung with some of the me-
morable achievements of the wonderful man whose fortunes
her husband followed with so much devotion—a sad me-
mento of the days that are gone ! She bears it well, but
feels deeply. Perhaps bereavement is never more keenly
felt, than when the bloW that severs the object of our af-
fection, at the same time annihilates the hopes of our am-
bition. Then it is the heart owns the full force of the
sentiment—

The whole of poor Napoleon's court, with a very few
exceptions, are now as if they never had been. " Their

EXTRAORDINARY CHARACTER.

(Prom an American Paper.)

The curiosity of mankind is naturally excited
by the display of unusual and extraordinary qua-
lities, whether they be such as entitle their pos-
sessor to infamy or honour. Among the vast
variety of individuals who have, by their genius,
their labours, or their eccentricity, profoundly
attracted the attention of the present age, few
have caused a deeper interest than John D.
Hunter. His own narrative of his early lite,
wile-ALA,. s -,,e. fsr folm,r pr la
alted tenour of his private life—the eclat with which
the world once received him—the deep stain with
which the subsequent charge of imposition has
overspread his name—the impenetrable mystery
that still shadows his history and real character
—the manner of his tragical death, and the
events and circumstances connected with it, have
raised an extraordinary interest in behalf of this
singular being, at least in the bosom of the wri-
ter of this communication. To gratify his own
feelings, and as an act of justice to the unfortu-
nate Hunter, he has devoted a leisure moment
to record the instances of his death, and to
pay a tribute to the great and amiable qualities
of a man so injured, if innocent—so unaccounta-
ble, if guilty.
I first saw Hunter in Nacogdoches, in the
early part of last summer. His narrative, the
reputation-it had given, and the charge which
had so suddenly blighted his fresh fame, were all
known to me, and little did • I expect to meet
him in the wilds of Texas. His countenance
and demeanour, before I knew who he was, drew
my attention ; and though no physiognomist, '
nor pretending to any unusual tact in penetrating
the character through the external appearance,
I was aware, notwithstanding the plainness
of his- dress and: the simplicity of his manners,
that I was in thP, society of a highly-intelligent
man, and a gentleman. He was called Dr.
Hunter. He had just returned from the city of
Mexico, where he had been endeavouring to ob-
tain a grant of land for numerous tribes of In-
dians, which had formed a kind of political alli-
ance, at the herd of which was Richard Fields.
the principal Chief of the Cherokees. Fields

the greater part of the promised land. He re-
turned by land over a desolate waste of country-
that would have intimidated a less energetic and
enterprising man. He brought hack feelings of
the strongest disgust towards the Government,
and harrassing fears lest the Indians, who were
extremely irritated by the treachery practised upon
them, and who were determined to have tin
land by force, if it could not be obtained other-
wise, should declare open hostilities, and massa-
cre the !Americans who were settled upon it
Such had been the injustice and tyranny of tin
local officers in Texas, sactioned and supported
as they were by the Government, that nothing
but a consciousness of their own weakness had
restrained the Americans from open resistance.

The history of that short-lived struggle for in-
dependence is well known to most of our readers,
and I will therefore only say, that Hunter's con-
duct throughout was faithful, active, and ener-
getic. On several occasions, when imminent
danger was apprehended, he acted in a manner
that convinced every person who saw him that
his courage was equal to his enterprise. At the
time when :the few faithful adherents to the in-
dependent .standard were surrounded on every
side by their enemies, a runner was sent to the
Cherokees to urge them to Conic instantly to the
succour of their allies at Nacogdoches. Fields
and Hunter strained every nerrt ,to rouse the
faithless Indians to the performance of tkeir re-
iterated promises, and their Oolenan obligation
by treaty ; but in vain. The emissaries of the
Mexican GOvernment had been among. them,
and the renewed promise that the land they con-
tended for would be granted with other and
great advantages, seduced them from their faith,
and thus rendered the revolution
Hunter snding every effort fruitless, for the .few
who had not been brought over were unwilling
to act with so small a force, let them saying be
ivould go alone, and share the fate of his Ame-
rican friends at Nacogdoches. His opposition
to their treachery excited their deadly hostility.
—He proceeded to join_the Americans, accom-
panied by two Indians. 'He stopped at a creek
near the Anadagua village, to let his horse
drink, and while time unguarded in his security,
one of his savage companions shot him with a
rifle in the shoulder. His horse started, and
he fell into the creek. The monster raised
another fatal weapon, and, ,while the unfortu•
nate Hunter implored him not to ire, for it was
hard, he said, to die by the hands of his friends,
sent his extraordinary spirit to appear before an
unerring tribunal.
Hunter was, a person about the middle sire,
stoutly mede, and apparently of much strength.
Its countenance, though far from handsome,
was very expressive. The strong lines of a
marked character were his, indicating the power-
ful feelings and the glowing enthusiasm that be-
' longed to the man. His manners were in ge-
neral quiet, grave, and gentlemanly ; but they
would burst out into singular vivacity ,vben Ins
feelings were raised : and then, at times, his
high excitement would render him masterless of
himself, and while it made him eloquent in gesti-
culation, deprived him of all command over his
words. Any discussion relative to the situation
and character of the Indians would rouse the
level caln of his ordinary manner into a storm
that agitated his entire soul. Grave, deliberate,
and intelligent on every other subject, the
moment that ebord was touched, his enthusiasm
and ardour overpowered the sluggishness of cal-
culating investigation, and his imagination burned
with the distant prospect of the civilization and
happiness of the persecuted Indians—the long-
cherished object of his philanthropic ambition.
Can it be -that this man was an impostor ?
Apparently with all the artlessness and simplicity of
a"child, glowing with generous feeling, and mani-
festing always a fastidious delicacy of -sentiment
and honour, can it be that the odious name of
an impostor can be justly imputed to him ? I,
for one, will never believe it. Some Indian

trader, it seems, has been among one of the tribes,
with whom Hunter relates he had lived, and one
or two Indians of the tribe being interrogated
had no recollection of such a person. If lam
rightly informed, this is the only foundation upon
which rests this damning charge, and the world,
more willing at all times to hear accusation than
defence, has without investigation blindly aid
implicitly branded with odium the man it once
delighted to honour, as if to revenge itself of its
former kindness. Yet it is most certain that
Hunter had been and lived long among the In-
dians, end that he was familiarly intimate with
their character and customs. I went with him

last summer to the Cherokee village, and while
there, was informed by some of the tribe of a

early life, while he lived with that or g..-.17,-,'`tV

I shall ever deeply regret that a false delicacy
withheld me from ever mentioning to Hunter
the subject of this odious accusation, for I ant
convinced that lie died .profoundly ignorant that
any stain rested upon his reputation. He could
then, if innocent, have had the opportunity to
restore his name to its former purity. He had
been, from before the time when he was first stig-
matized as an impottor, travelling through
Mexico, or living among the Indians. He once
mentioned to me, that he had not seen a news-
paper of the United Stites since he had left
them. He could not, therefore, have known
that such an imputation had an existence.

Meantime, and till our merchants turn their atten-
tion to Georgia, that country seems destined to be-
come a sort of colony to France. Specimens of
silk from the banks of the Rhine will soon arrive in
ecusideeelde numbers, to improve the spinning of
ilk in Imiretta, Georgie, and Schirwan. Workmen
of different professions and two physicians are also
announced, who will be followed, it h; said, by other
Frenchnice. If we look Oh this small emigration in

Jo Whatever manner we consider this question of
p ogtki cal economy, it will be interesting to be in-
formed of the suecessive increase of the French
Colony in Georgia. It may be considered as the
point of departure for the foreign commerce of Asia.
'BARCELONA, SEPT. 29.—We have had no post
from France since the 18th, yet the diligence arrives
from Perpignan every day; but the fears entertained
of the robbery of the mails has caused measures to
be taken to send them by sea; And the wind is con-
wiry, which has, however, favoured the departure
of our mails.
The Marquis de Campo &grade) is recalled to the

nior he is succeeded here by the Count d'Espagne.
In consequence of the arrival of his Majesty at
Tarragona, the- principal authorities of Barcelona
have hadto.reproe to that city. The Marquis de
Campo Sagrado "seethe first to set out, with some
other persoas of distinction. Though there was a
kind of parley with the rebels, that the road might
be free, his escort was attacked at. Villa Franca ;
eight of the malcontents were killed, and four taken
prisoners.
The Junta of Manresa publishes a Journal, The
Catalonian Royalist. - Some numbers have reached
this city. We see by it that they press the siege of

fusal.

PARIS, OCT. 7.—While expecting news from
Greece every one is reasoning without any know-
ledge of facts upon the destinies of that unhappy
country. More than ever has been within these few
days days talked about the ambition of Russia, and the
jealousy of England; we ourselves have used our
privilege unsparingly. The more the world is astray,
both at the one and the other side of the question,
the more it appears demonstrated to us that the
Treaties with which we are acquainted are not equal
to the accomplishment of the great work they have
in view. Our reasoning here has been on a subject
unknown to us, and while we thus continue to rea-
son the Egyptian Fleet has arrived upon the shores
of Greece, which proves, at least for the present, the
inefficiency of the measures which have been taken.
On looking at the actual results of the diplomacy is
not this a case which will call to our recollection the
famous comparison of Solon, and to cause us to see
in the late Treaties nothing but spiders' webs in
which only flies can .be caught. The Gazette de
France has been at much expense of erudition, and
in order to prove to us that there is nothing to be
feared either from the ambition or the jealousy of the
Allies, it has cited to us Gengis and Tamerlane,which
no doubt throws very great light upon the question.
Meanwhile the wolf is in the sheepfold, and God alone
can ealm his rage or check his voracity. It lois been
often said, an 4 we believe in its truth, that the Ot-
toman Empire is of some weight in the political
balance of Europe; it is an immense tree which has
pushed its branches under every throne, and which
cannot be rooted up without disturbing the founda-
tion on which the Christian Monarchies are fixed.
We share in this regard the inquietudes of penetrat-
ing minds ; but we have also another fear; all this
noise which is made in Europe on the subject of the
c*„l' :RAcs Tax it not
_leaktoanunfortunateinaction,
of that fe;inder which they would wish to escape.
When a thing is seriously wished for, it appears to
us that more is done and less is said. We wish that
our words may not be taken in bad part ; but is it
not true that all o4r negotiations with the Ottoman
Porte can, up to this moment, be explained by what
follows. On cne side we say to the Grand Seignior,
with most praiseworthy politeness—" Will his High-
ness be so ,;nod as not any longer to cut the throats of
the Greeks, as he has done for five years past." On
the other, his Highness answers by his Reis Effendi—
" God is God, and Mahomet is his Prophet !"

AFFAIRS OF GREECE.

The following letter has been addressed, he
M. Eynard, to the Greek Committees of Eu-

rope ;--

" Bea►lieu, near Rolle, Switzerland, Oct. I

" Gentlemen,—The news which I have received from
Greece continues to be favourable. The Greeks are in
possession of all the defiles. The appearance of the com-
bined fleets has proved to the Hellenists that they were not
abandoned by the Christian Powers ; and in the Churches,
prayers are offered up to God to bestow his blessings on
the interference of the Monarchs."

The following comes from Count Viaro Capo
d'lstria, dated Aug. 28, and Sep. 5 :

" The Greeks have chased the Egyptians from
Volitga, and by that means are masters of the im-
portant grape harvest of Corinth, which the enemy
had possessed himself of. Nicetas has surprised a
convoy of a thousand horses. The escort, composed
of .Egyptians, after a feeble resistance, was dispersed,
leaving all the horses in the power of the Greeks.
This biisve Chief has gone to Modon, with five
hundred chosen men ; he attacked, during the night,
the Egyptians encamped close to the fortress, killed
a good many, and retired, carrying off a great number
of prisoners, and a rich booty. General Ckurch has
taken the direction of Patras ; Le has force enough
to keep the Turks within that fortress; the latter
are in want of every thing, and will be obliged soon
to surrender, if they do not receive provisions from
Egypt. The Seraskier is at Thebes; all the strong
positions of Continental Greece are in the power of
the Greeks. Concord has been re-established at
Napoli this month past, and the certainty of the
mediation has united all the Chiefs.

" We approach, Gentlemen, the conclusion of
that work of Christian charity which we have taken
upon ourselves. In a short time, the problem of the
emancipation of the Greeks will be resolved in the
Archipelago; but the intervention of the Monarchs
will at present be limited to arresting the disasters
of war, without as yet diffusing the benefits of
peace. Meanwhile, Gentlemen, you know that
Greece, up to this day the theatre of battles, can-
not support her children ; would not then abandon-
ing them at present be leaving them to perish at
the very moment of their arrival in port ? I dare to
hope, that these considerations will be all-powerful
with the Philhellenists. Greece requires a last aid,
and her voice cannot be despised by those who have
so often been alive to her cries of distress.

" Gentlemen, I believe it is my duty to explain
a circumstance, welcomed, without doubt inno-
cently, but also a little slightingly, by some jour-
nalists. The. Count John Capo d'lstria will, it is
said, take with him to Greece considerable pecu-
niary means. Several millions have been men-
tioned, and there has appeared a design of pointing
out the source from which this aid was drawn. I
should be sorry to think that there was any design
of exciting jealousies amongst the Powers; but I
am authorised to give the lie to this information, the
effect of which would be to deprive Greece of the
charity of Christendom.
" Count Capo d'lstria, whose fortune at any time
small, but now almost nothing, has refused all al-
lowances on accepting the post to which the wish of
his fellow•citizens called him. He has even refused a
retiring pension which the Emperor offered him.
He thought that it would be for 11:i honour and for
his dignity to destroy every pretext of malevolence,
and thus give to all Europe a pledge that he would
not and could not be any thing but a Greek.
" At Moscow and at Odessa he has besought the
aid of the Philhellenists, and he has written to us
from London to engage us to unite our efforts to
his. With earnestness, Gentlemen, do I become
his interpreter to you, persuaded that his appeal
will lie listened to by all the friends of Greece. The
Hellenists supported a little time longer, will be able
to await the results of the mediation; and when
that period has arrived, we must believe, will re-
gard as the fulfilment of their interference, the sup-
port of those unfortunates whose political existence
they will have secured. I have in this respect the
most entire confidence that, at last, Greece will be
succoured. The Ministers of the three Powers all
know that at this moment private charity is on the
point of exhaustion. They know the details of the
miseries of Greece, and they will take, we may be
sure, every means to continue those aids which we
cannot any more send them. At the same time, in
concluding my letter, I take the liberty to repeat,
that the friends of the Greeks should make a last
effort.

" J. G. EYNARD.

ended on the 10th of this month. By reference
to these returns it will be seen that the amount
of the Revenue in the Quarter has exceeded the
amount of the corresponding Quarter of the
Year 1826, by the sum of 605,7871. This has
arisen by an increase of 335,978.1. in the Cus-
toms ; 130,2791. in the Stamps ; 13,0001. in
the Post-office ; and 211,3321. in Miscellaneous
receipts ; reduced by a diminution of 78,9231. in
the Excise, and 5,8791. in Taxes.
The increase in the year has not been so
great, being 325,0051.i9n6g7,0151.in

reduced by a diminution of 613,2791. i n the Ex-

the Post-office, snaking the actual increase in
the year 325,005/., as before stated.
It has ever been our principle to take a fair
and impartial view of the subject of finance, and
not to follow the practice of some of our Co-
temporaties, in always describing the state of the
Revenue as flourishing, and as matter of con-
gratulation, without reference to its actual con-
dition. We may therefore be allowed to say
that, although the improvement which has taken
place in some particular branches of the National
Revenue, and the increase which appears both in
the Quarter's and the Year's Receipt is satisfac-
tory, still the general result is, on the whole, less
favourable than we had in common with others
entertained an expectation that it would prove.
The increase in the whole year is very far short
of the sum which has been received in it as duty
paid upon the introduction into the market of
foreign corn, which must form a very consider-
-."- of the total increase under th. Lona
of Customs, of !;67,01.5i., while a decrease of a
most serious and important amount iu the per-
manent revenue of Excise, of 613,2791. has
arisen. The falling off also in the year, of upwards
of 60,0001. both in the Stamps and the Post
Office, is a serious consideration, and although
the increase in those heads in the last Quarter
gives ground for hope that these branches
of Revenue will recover to their former amount,
yet tl4:t circumstance little counterbalances the
more material defalcation of the- Excise Duties.

" P.S. I have this moment received letters from
Napoli, of the 19th of August. They completely
confirm the intelligence given by Count Viaro Capo
d'lstria. The substance is as follows :

Volitza and Calavrita have been abandoned by
the Turks, who were completely beaten by the son
of Colocotroni.

" Nicetas has gained a signal advantage over the
Egyptians, and taken a considerable convoy.
" The Greeks have recovered hope in all parts,
,-.J..,,,,,k...erneditions by land and sea, in order to
are discouraged. - Turks
" Grivas has given up the fort of Palameda to
General Church, and all the Chiefs have submitted
themselves to discipline, agreeing to be treated as
rebels if they disobey orders.
" The Committee has just received ten thousand
dollars sent by the Committees.
" The arrival of the President is looked for with
the utmost impatience.
" Tl- • Egyptian fleet, after a fierce tempest, was
cast upon the southern shore of Candia, on the 16th
of August. It is not as yet known whether it con-
tinues its passage."

We have heard there is a schism in the
Quarterly Review, arising from a difference of opinion
between some of the contributors and the publisher, but
having, we believe, on connection with politics.—Brighton
Paper.

'f ha rump of the Herefordshire Pitt Club—
the only portion of that venerable body now Evil' —met
on the 9th inst. to celebrate its 10th anniversary. We
shall take no farther notice of this imposture than by tran-
scribing' one of the toasts—namely, " May the principles
of Mr. Pitt elways animate the Councils of Great Britain."
Very well : but what principles ?—of his youth or of his
age ? At the earlier period, he was for reforming Par-
liament ; at the later for emancipating his Catholic fellow-
subjects.—Tunes.
Miss Paton, in renovated health, left Brighton
on Tuesday, to prepare for her engagement at Drury Lame.
—Briyhttm Paper.
Miss Grant made her second appearance last
night at Drury-lane Theatre, in the character of Diana
Vernon, and was received with great applause. Mr. Wal-
lach played the hero Rob Roy with infinite credit.
The two first Concerts for the present season
were given at the Music-hall, on Monday and Tuesday
evenings last. Mr. Braham needs not a word of our com-
mendation. It was with his Elegy on the death of Weber
that we were most pleased. It is an exquisite: composi-
tion, and was sung in such an emphatic style, that Mr.
Brabant seemed to excel himself. Miss E. Paton's voice
is a contra-alts of great sweetness. In concerto pieces she
appears to have a thornugh Ittowledge of her profession,
and she drew forth an encore in Dr. Acne's beautiful song
"In infancy." Miss E. Paton possesses great compass
and flexibility of voice. She sang " With verdure clad"
in an exquisite manner; and succeeded admirably in " Di
tanti palpiti." The audience went home delighted with
the entertainment prepared for them.—,,s4ffield Mercury.

FIRST DRAGOON GUARDS.--On Wednes-
day last, this distinguished regiment, at present quartered
at Peershill Barracks, under the command of Lieutenant-
Colonel Teasdale, were examined on Portobello-Sands, by
the Honourable Major-General Sir Robert W. O'Callaghan,
K.C.B. Commander-in-Chief of the forces in Scotland.
The troops went through their different evolutions with
the utmost steadiness rdul precision,' and their' soldierlike
appiaranee, tOgether tvitlr the• excellent condition of the
horses, called forth a geneial expression of admiration from
the spectators.-4(4,iN47P; Observor. • -

If we examine also the Quarterly Receipts with
care, we fear we shall not find much cause for
congratulation. The increase in Customs in the
Quarter is decidedly not equal to the amount of
duty on foreign corn received in the Quarter; and

venue of the country. It will also be observed,
that the surplus of income over the charge on the
Consolidated Fund, which for the year ending
10th October, 1826, was 4,658,8221., is for the
year ending 10th inst. only 3,847,016/.
From these facts we are bound to say, that the

improvement in the financial situation of the
country is not so great as we hoped it would
have proved ; still, however, the reviving state of
our trade, and the activity of our manufactures,
encourages us in believing that we have passed
the worst, and that a gradual, though not a rapid
advance, may fairly be calculated upon in future
years. The present difficulties must be met with
boldness and resolution, and we know that his
Majesty's Ministers will strain every 'nerve to
uphold the national credit, by affecting every re-
duction of expenditure which is consistent with
the safety, the honour, and the justice of the
country!
