SMYRNA, FEBRUARY 28.

A terrible engagement has taken place in the
lonian Seas, between an Ottoman brig of war, which
was bound from Constar.;:nople to Patras, and seven
Greek brigs of war. We have seen persons here who
were eye-witnesses of the combat, which covers the
Ottoman Captain with glory. Ile bravely fought
against a file much superior to his own. The seven
Greek brigs, sonic of which were even superior to
the Turkish vessel, not venturing to approach, at last
sent a fire-ship against it, which set fire to the main-
sail. Then the Commandant, with great ability and
promptness, had the mast, which was on the point of
taking fire, cut away ; after which he put into Ithaca.
Accounts from Magnesia of the 18th, say that an
order from the Porte has been received there, to form
a Corps of 600 men, who are to march against the
Persians. The Government wisely caused all the
taverns to be closed, to prevent the disasters which
listially arise from excessive drinking. Unhappily
this did not hinder six or. seven Greeks from being
flied or wounded by the soldiery.

Conspiracy in Stoedest.—k is said at Copenhagen,
from whence we have intelligence dated sth of April,
that numerous arrests have taken place in Sweden,
and that the conspiracy has very extensive ramifica-
tions: it is said also that several ladies are arrested.
It may not be generally known, that on the 23c1 of
461,1822, the Supreme Government of India, with
the view of marking by a Special Act of Grace the
Ell Anniversary of his MAJESTY'S Birth-day after
the Coronation, released all persons under confine-
rntat on that day for debts of any kind due to them,,
cepting such as had been guilty of gross fraud, in
"'extensive territories under their authority.—Bri-
tuh Pleas.
It reflects no small credit on the abilities of the
t
`Nnish 'lteasurer, MARTINE?, that not ithstanding
tie deranged state in which he found the finances of
111$ coulitry, he has yet been 'able to find means to
equip the army opposed to the French, and has also
!eta some of the largest frigates and brigs to cruise
tr the Mediterranean. Other vessels are preparing
to be pm into commission. A large contract for
roviintts has been oEmett to a highly respectable
Lab iu that

(From the Board at the !gear Ragland Coffee Hovel .
C;►pe,of Good Hope Papers to February 2d, have
been received. The following is an extract:
,‘ The last post from the interior has brought an
account of an affair with the Cafires and a patrole of
infantry on the 18th ult. '

" Fort Beaufort, Jan. IS.
" Ste—l have the honour to state, in obedience to your orders
o:i leaving me on the West River post, I proceeded with my
tarty in the direction of the Macassei River, and that shortly
after we separated. I came on the traces of Caffres and cattle :
I continued to follow the track, when I discovered a large
body of cattle, wl:ich I took without opposition ; I then directed
the march homewards, when I perceived the alarm given by
fires, and the Caffres assembling in considerable numbers.
" The Caffres were now so numerous and daring, that I
found it :a-spossible to continue that route. I countermarched
my party, and succeeded in reaching the high ground, from
which I was descending when your party came to my assistance.
At this ninine::t about twenty C::ffres sprung up from the long
grass a::d threw ascaguays, one of which severely wounded pri-
vate Bedford, of the Gth Regiment. This was answered by an
immediate ire, from which six Caffres fell, and we succeeded in
bringing into camp 172 head of oattle."

PROM THE MUSEUM ; OR, ACCORD OF LITERATURE, &C.

Lone Bird, I bear thy ntel.thcholy voice,
Amid the smote and thickets wandering;
For it delighteth thee when coming Spring
Puts forth the green leaf, and the flowers rejoice
To herald forth the beauties of the year.
I know not why thy monotones appear
Wild and unearthly ; and the hollow sound
As it glows floating on the air around,
Seems born and destined fur another sphere:
But soil is; and though to some thou'rt dryer,
To me there is a measure in the tone •
Of thy simplicity, which strikes my ear
With solitary sweetness, never known
To them who wander not 'mid forests wild—alone !

Baathkr's Great 1r indow of the Lad Supper. for
the Altar of ltereford Cathedral.--This is a copy of
Mr. West's Picture of the Last Supper, stained in glass,
and intended for a window over the Altar of Ileteford
Cathedral. The situation for which it is destined being
considerably-higher, with regard to the spectator,
than its present position, it is seen rather to disadvan-
tage. We should not have mentioned this trifling
circumstance, however, if it were not to suggest to
the artist to block up the steps, and oply allow the
picture to be seen from the passage : which would,
we apprehend, take away every reason for unfavour-
able criticism. At present this can only apply to the
fore-shortening of some of the figures ; and, by
adopting our suggestion, every pretext for making
it would be done away. There is a great deal more
merit in the execution of this work than what consists
iii merely transferring the forms and colours which
are on the canvas to the glass, and there rendering
them perpetual. Mr. West's picture does not exceed
four feet square, and the artist had to transfer this to
a surface more than ten times as large, and of a dif-
ferent form. The greatest diameter of Mr. \Vest's
picture is the horizontal line, and of the window, of
course, the perpendicular line ; and we conceive the
artist has shewn great skill in adapting the painting
to the form he was obliged to preserve. It has been
done by leaving out some of the figures ; and when
to this is added the difference of size, each figure in
the window being fifteen feet high, the picture on
the glass is in until -Mr. Backler's own, though the
sketch may be said to have been furnished by Mr.
West. There is great harmony in the colouring, and
great truth of expression in the countenances; and
we were delighted to see how accurately the different
pieces of the glass blended , so as to form
one harmonious wttole. Mr. ackler, however, ac-
complishes this difficult art admirably, though not
without much care and labour, so as to preserve the
nicest shades. and render his labours fit to perpetuate
those brilliant performances which the first artists are
obliged to confide to perishable and changeable ma-
terials. By the labours of the workers in Mosaic,
the most elaborate works of Domenichino, Guido,
and other great masters, now adorn the walls of the
Vatican, and will last as long as the building itself;
nay, even when that is in ruins, fragments of this
Mosaic may be gathered as relics, and still serve, if
no other memorials are left, to skew the height to
which the arts had reached in the 16th and 19th cen-
turies. So high a merit cannot be assigned to the
labours of those who stain glass—windows are likely
to be utterly destroyed with the buildings in which
they are placed ; still, with but little care, they may
be preserved as long as the walls ; and We must ad-
mile that art which can hand down to ages, in all
their original brightness, the happiest efforts of the
greatest masters. We observe in Mr. Backler's col-
lection a design for the great window of Westminster
Abbey, copied from the Transfiguration of Raphael ;
and nothing, we think, is likely to do more honour
te the Dean and Chapter, in whose care that vene-
rable building is, than to add to the beauties of its
ncture, by adopting the classic, simple, and ele-
gant design which this artist offers to their accept-
ance. To conclude, we must express our great sa-
tisfaction at the progress the art of painting on glass
has lately made in our country ; and it alteady rivals,
even if it does not surpass, whatever has been exe-
cuted in other countries.

So numerous are the works of Art' sent this year
to the Royal Academy for the ensuing Exhibition,
that the Committee will be able to hang little more
. than three-fourths of them.
Saturday, as a countrywoman,' wall her market-
basket on her arm, was gazing with astonishment at
" a bit of finery" in a draper's window, in York, per-
haps coveting and desiring that which she could not
purchase, her partner in life came up, and in the true
simplicity of a " Johnny Raw," thought he would
have a little fun, by playing an innocent trick on his
gazing and unsuspicious rib. There was a handker-
chief in the basket, which Johnny cunningly caught
out, and deposited in his own pocket, at the same
time proceeding forward on his way, in the full en-
joyment of the anticipation of his wife's distress on
the discovery of her loss. Unfortunately, however,
a certain gentleman, from a neighbouring
observed the trick, and, not knowing the circum-
stances of the case, he desired a constable, residing
near the place, to secure the supposed villain; and to
take him before a Magistrate. The man of " brief'
authority" was faithful to 'his trust, and poor Johnny
Raw was seized in the Pavement, and an altercation
ensued, the tesult of which Wass that the countryman
was borne by force before a Magistrate's judgment
seat. The unsuspecting "rib" bad now to apar
to identify the luckless handkerchief. She did pe
it was he: own—the very one which she bad been
deprived of. Turning to the imagined eillans, with
all the virulence of an injured woman, At gamed,—
she was ready--to faint—and in the feeble wows of
surprise and of fear, she exclaimed, " Oh,- Lord
Gentlemen, its my husband." The sworsiu bad
eenstice
now fell prostrate, the affair was explai eld
but taken his own—the Magistrate laughed at the
mistake, the informing gentleman and Om constable
retired, and Johnny flay, with his artless better pit,
posted away, 4:112 in arm, to tell their village neigh-
bours what awful things had happened, and what
sftoccr lab they ate at lark !
