Estimate prepared by Mr. Nash :—TW Chintney-piecee, parquette

carving at Carlton House have been considered as used again ; also
the screen of columns on the wan have been considered as forming
the pavilions at the ends of the Terrace, and the great stain to fur-
nish the King's private stairs ; but the timber, bricks, lead, slates.
and common boors have not bees ceasidered as applinble to the
new Palace.

The Mot:kw contains some intelligence of a fa-
vourable complexion with respect to the affairs of Greece.
It comes down to the end of Augest, and not only con-
firms the successes of the Greeks before*Athens, hued,-
tails others gained by the corps of General TRONGAS in
Acarnania. MUSTAPHA BST, whom Rruscsun PUNTA
had left behind him to clear the country and protect his
communications, having offered a pardos to this Chief-
tain and his followers if they would lay down their arms,'
received the same answer as another Barbarian did two
thousand years ago: Come and take them." This he
attempted to do, for he grew angry, and is brave ; but
though he brought 2,000 Turks with him, be was at-
tacked with so much vigour on all sides in the moun-
tains, that he led back very few. in the Mores young
COLOCOTRONI is said to have destroyed 2,-'0 Arabian
horse and taken some prisoners, whilst. daily skirmishes
with detached bodies of the enemy, restored the confi-
dence of the Moreotes and prepared them fur greater
and more decisive maim. The army of the elder
COLOCOTRONI was rapidly increasing. This sturdy vete-
`ran had once more taken the field.
