Majesty has also assigned* sum of 6,000 florins for the smile pur-
pose.

M. Iloogen, a Cabinet Messenger of our Government, set out
yesterday with dispatches for our Ambassador at Rome.
The Court of Assizes yesterday sentenced J. B. Van Goethem,
convicted of murder, to two years imprisonment, a fine of 60
florins, and the costs.

The Courier du Leman of the 3d January has a letter from
Alexandria, of the 30th Dec. (this date is evidently erroneous),
which announces that Ibrahim Pacha, with his whole army, was
expected to arrive shortly in that city, as be was to embark at
Modon on board the fleet which has just arrived there.

SWITZERLAND, JAN. 2.

Lord Cochrane left Geneva on the 22d Dec. to go to Italy.
The great Council of Lucerne opened its Sittings on the 27th
Dec. and the Corragioni declared that in the Session of the month of
January they would lay before the Sovereign Council a statement of
the odious persecutions of which they have been the object for more
than a year ; that this statement shall be drawn up dispassionately,
but explicitly and frankly, and that they hope the Great Council
will be the more disposed to second their application for satisfac-
tion, as it was by its own resolution that they were subjected to
the accusation.

In the sittings of the 28th and 29th, the Great Council con-
sidered the petitions presented against the introduction of the
Protestant worship at Lucerne. The petitions having been read,
a long and animated debate ensued, after which the Great Coun-
cil, by a majority of 52 votes to 39, confirmed the permission
which it bad given, and reserving to itself any extension of that
permission.

Frankfort Papers of the 9th instant have also been
received this morning. Their contents relate chiefly
to the affairs of the Greeks, but there is nothing of
stirring interest. Much powder and shot have been
expended between the Belligerents, but apparently to
little purpose, according to the Oriental Spectator.
Famine seems to do more than the sword, and the
Seraskier has retired from Athens in consequence of
the want of provisions :

SMYRNA, DEC. 1.
The Greeks, who had made an excursion into Attica, have re-
turned to Salamis, where the Palicari have•plundeted the unhappy
fugitives. Fabvier has retired to Methana with 500 men. The
whole country suffers by famine, and the Set-spikier has also fallen
back to Salma, to get provisions, of which he was destitute at
Athens. But these movementahave been effected very peaceably,
and for the present the siege is raised. Such are the chances and
alternatives in this year, nothing advances or 'retrogrades. Hap-
pily, if a good deal of powder is consumed, but very few men have
been killed for some time past ; in'spite of the accounts of battles
published in the European Journals, by dint of parodying the bul-
letins of a time which is past, the petty affairs of the present
time will be rendered ridiculous.

Our quays have been covered within these few days by Philhel-
lenes, in all sorts of costumes, wearing orders, &c. These ho-
nourable victims of our classic illusions appear to have had quite
enough of those trials they have made of the courage of the
valiant Palicari, who have abandoned them three times. They
anxiously inquired after means to retui n home. When they ar-
rive at Marseilles they may give useful information to those who
are prepared to follow them. Most of them were part of the
expedition put by the Greek Committee under the command of
soi-disant Colonel Raybaud, who is now dying at Smyrna, of
sabre wounds, which he has received from a soi-disant COlonel
Voutier.

M. David, the French Council-General, has embarked to-day,
with his lady, on board the Truile French corvette, to return to
France. Till the arrival of his successor, M. Schmalz, who em-
harked at Toulon for Naples, the 20th October, on board the
Volage schooner, M. Tancoigne will perform the functions of
Council.

We have received a letter from a correspondent for
whom we have the highest respect, suggesting that a
general subscription should be immediately com-
menced for the purpose of erecting a Colossal Statue
of his late lamented Royal Highness the DUKE of
YORK, on the Parade, in front of the Horse Guards.
We fully concur in the propriety of this suggestion,
and shall publish the letter to-morrow—not being able
to find room for it to-day.

THE FUNDS.

CITY, (This DAY), Twelve o'Clock.

the information that the dividend shortly due would not be paid
has had little effect on their price; Spanish are worse, being
quoted at 121 4 ; Portuguese, 74 5. Shares remain quite a dead
letter, and nothing new can be said relative to them, so little is
the business which has lately been done in these speculations.

794 80 ; India Bonds, 44 6 pm. ; Exchequer Bills, 24 5 pm.

This being settling (lay in the Foreign Funds, little is doing,
except the brokers making up their accounts, which are understood
to be very small, and appear likely to go off smoothly. Mexican

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY_(TiIIs DAY.)
REMOVAL OF A CORONER.

ATTORNEY-ORNERAL V. ROOK.

Mr. HART stated, that there was a petition in this matter, pre-
sented by a certain number of inhabitants of the county of Hert-
ford, which prayed the removal of Mr. Hook from being Coroner.
The defendant had been informed, that on that petition coming
on, provided it were supported with evidence of certain facts, the
Court would make an eaparte order for the removal ; but the
present application was, that his Lordship would not make the
order until the defendant had had an opportunity of being heard,
as he felt satisfied that he had the means of fully answering the
statements in the petition.
His Loansuzv believed he had not yet signed an order for the
removal.

Mr. HART said he knew he had not, and that this was only a
precautionary measure on the part of Mr. Rook.
His LORDSHIr intimated that Mr. Hart's best plan would he
to give notice to Messrs. Bray and Warren that this petition was
to be opposed ; they were the gentlemen through whom all peti-
tions of this nature came to his Lordship.
