CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 25.

On the lOth a firman was published, forbidding
the sale of Christian Slaves, and another which was
immediately put in force, to disarm all Musselmen
below eighteen, and above sixty years of age. It is
hoped that this is intended to lead to a general disarm-
ing of the people, and it has made a very agreeable
impression on the levers of order. The neguciations
with the Boyarsof Moldavia and Wallachia are con-
cluded ; they are at liberty to go all over the city,
and converse with whom they please. The Ministers
of the Porte affirm, that the nomination of the Hos-
podars will soon be published, and orders were is-
sued a week ago to hasten the departure of the Otto-
man troops from the Principalities.
The following is the Postscript of this letter."
" Just before the post sets out, we have received
the news, that in the night of the 19th the Turkish
fleet, off Scio, experienced a severe loss. The fol-,
loss ing are the particulars of this catastrophe, which '
we have been able to collect with some certainty, at
the first moment of receiving the news:
" Three Greek fire-ships, disguised as merchant-
men, and appearing to be laden with tobaCco, an-
chored before Thimiana, and had been for sOrne
al.tys near the Turkish fleet : as they had hoisted the
Austrian flag, and had Austrian papers, either forged
or taken from some Austria's vessels, they were con-

sidered as harmless and disturbed by nobody; nor
were they hindered when they took a position in the
evening very near to the Admiral's ship.
In the following night these same vessels (with
what materials or instruments is not known) set fue
Ito the ship of the Captain Pacha, and two smaller
,sbips of the line. The crews of the two latter suc-
Ceeded in extinguishing the flames, but the Admi.
ral's ship blew up with the Captain Pacha and the
whole crew. The corpse of the Captain Pacha was
found swimming in the sea, and buried at Scio the
next day. The Greeks had already made two other
other attempts, which failed. Their stratagem must
have been contrived this time with great cunning
and ability.

SIR WALTER SCOTT.
A Correspondent in Derry writes us this morning,
that Sir WACTaa and Dr. CHALmaas landed there on
Wednesday last, from a steam-picket from Glasgow.
Some say that he is on a tour of observation, and there
are ample and untouched materials before him: No
country has such a history for the choice of such a
novelist. The attempt of PEREIN WARIECK; the
different wars bet Ween the natives and the English
invaders; the reign of ELIZASICTH, in which SPUNCE,
RALEIGH, and Essex, adorned its; from that time,
classical shore; the grand Rebellion of 1641, and
more especially the period of the Revolution of 1688,
all present a noble field on which to exercise the
highest powers.—Qulllie Paper.

"ERIAL ASCENT AND ACCIDENT

CHELTENHAM, JULY oh
Yesterday, at. half-past three o'clock, Mr. GREEN,
the zronaut, with a Gentleman named GaIFYITn, of.
Cheltenham, made an ascent with a large and very
beautiful balloon, from sa yard At the back of the
London Hotel, in this town, amidst a more numerous
assemblage of Nobility, Serail, and Fa.hionables,
than was ever witnessed on any former occasion.
At half-past three o'clock the Gentlemen entered
the car (which was of most costly and elegant struc-
ture, a gift to the zronaut by Colonel REDDELL of
this place) apparently in high spirits: the? both dis-
played the utmost coolness and intrepidity; and hav-
ing attached the cords, they bade adieu to their friends,
when at the moment the car was removed to the far-
ther end of the ground to windward, it was.disco-
vered that some wicked person had cut one of the
cords that suspended it from the net-work. Mr.
GREEN, with the greatest promptitude, ordered every
person to leave the car, and when urged to have the
cord repaired, he replied, " I'll not hazard the cut-
ting of another cord—l do not depend upon one line
only, unloose the ropes." The cords were loosened
immediately, and the Balloon ascended in the most
majestic manner, amidst the plaudits of thousands.
They had scarcely, however, attained-the height of
half a mile, when the netting gave way considerably,
yet they threw out some ballast, and still continued
to ascend. Their course to the Eastward was plainly
visible until on the other side of the Cotswold Hills,
when they remained some time stationary, and then
were out of sight. When they had proceeded to
within a mile and a half of Salperton, they deter-
mined to descend, the car being at that time only up-
held by one side of the balloon. Their grappling
iron came in contact with a wall, into which it was
fastened by some country-people near the spot ; but
it was speedily torn away, and they were dragged
across four fields and knocked from hedge to hedge,
till at length the balloon carrying them over a large
grove up into the air, the car got entangled in a tree,
and the cords, which had been maliciously cut pre
vious to the ascent, now gave way ; the balloon, freed
from all controul, rapidly ascended, and the cronauts
were thrown from a tremendous height to the ground:
both lay for some time insensible and nearly lifeless.
Mr. DAY, of the King's Head, Northleach, and his
son, being near the spot, came up to the poor suf-
ferers, and as soon as they could be placed on horse-
back, conveyed them to the house of Mr. J. STONE,
at Turk Dean, where they were immediately blooded,
and every attention paid to them that humanity or
skill could suggest. At an early hour this morning
the following Bulletin was issued :

Y' Turk Dean, July 31, 1822—One o'Clock,
“ We have examined Mr. Gaunt and the Gentleman who
ascended with hint, in consequence of their accident from the'
descent of the balloon, and find them both very seriously injured.
Mr. GRZIN has a severe contusion on the left side of the chest,
but unattended with fracture of the ribs. The other Gentleman
has received a severe injury of the spine, but unattended with
paralysis of the limbs.

" CHARLES LA 111LEY,} Someone." S. H. MURLEY,
A subscription is about to be opened in our town,
to recompense, as far as money can recompense, Mr.
Guzzle, for the great injury he has sustained in the
loss of the balloon, which, it is said, cost him 5001.

Tuesday, the Duke of YORK held a Levee as Com-
mander-in-Chief, at his Office in the horse Guards.
which was attended by about thirty Military Officers,
Lot•d BRUDENELL left 17, North Audley-street,
for Paris, yesterday morning.
The projected Royal visit is the prevailing topic of
discussion at Cupar. The last Royal visit to Fife was
made by CHARLES 11. who was entertained by the
Magistrates in the Tolbooth—being the best place
which a primitivAge could afford to entertain Royalty.
A search is making into the Council records for the
minute of Council, with reference to this visit—an
extract of which, rumour saith, is to be presented to
his MAJESTY by the Magistrates, at an anticipated
Levee at Holyrood House.
We are happy to learn that Extents in Aid, so
dreadtully oppressive in their nature, and so liable to
abuse in their operation, are likely to be abolished.
The following is the official order on the subject:—
«
Order of the Court of Exchequer, respecting the affidavit on
which the process of Extents in Aid shall in future be issued.
" Upon the motion of Mr. Arroattv-Gxxxam., it is ordered,
that from henceforth no Sat for an Extent in Aid shall be granted,
unless the party applying for the same, or some person or per-
sons in his behalf, shall make affidavit that, unless the process of
extent for the debt due to him front his debtor be forthwith
issued, the debt due to the Crown from the party applying will
hei_n danger of being lost to the Crown.
