FRIDAY. APRIL 4, 1828.
GOOD FAIDAT.—Cuss HOLIDAY.

Both Honses of Pirliament adjourned last night for
the Eager Hondays--the Lords to Tuesday, the ISth, the Com
pons to Monday, the 14th inst.

The que.tion of the Greeks who were carried to
Alexandria, toe the purpose of being sold as slaves, was again
brought before the House of Commons last night, by Sir Roemer
WILSON, who has shown a laudable desire to have the 'signer fully
investigated. The answers of Mr. Secretary Parr. and Mr. Sucre.
tary Husussort, show that a distinct notification had been conveyed
to Isearrisr, that Great Britain could not tolerate suck a measure.
Intelligence bad reached Government that some women and
children had been deported, some accounts said 600. As soon as it
arrived, instructions were sent, directing the Admiral to institute
an inquiry, and the subject was at present under consideration.—

Sir JAMES I...ctarrosig has given notice of his intention to call on
the Government for an explanation of its Foreign Policy after the
recess.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday, and Gazette de France.
dated Wednesday, which arrived last night, -contain
no political news. They neither confirm the re-
ported passage of the Pr uth by the Russians, nor
the armistice said to have been granted by the
Porte for three months to the Greeks.—lt was
stated a few days since, that the French troops which
were concentrating towards Toulon, bad received
orders to retrograde towards their former cantonments.
An article in the German Pagers, dated Marseilles, in
contradiction to this statement, asserts that the troops
already assemblei at Toulon consisted of 6,000 men
.l
whose ultimate destination mould be Greece ; that in
conjunction with 5,000 troops from Cadiz, and 6,000
from England, they are destined for the purpose of
organizing an independent Government in that quarter,
and especially to take possession of an island before
the Dardanelles (we suppose Tenedos), in order to
counteract the ulterior views of Russia, should that
Power make itself master of Constantinople.

The following information, communicated to us by
our City Correspondent, is derived from a source which.
he says, has seldom failed in his important commu-
nications:
a One of the Turkish Plenipotentiaries who was at the
Treaty of Akermann, has been sent by the Porte to
Ibrahim Pacha, with orders from the Grand Seignor to
accede immediately to a three month's armistice, • and
to suspend all hostilities against the Greeks. Private
letters have also been sent to all the Allied Admirals,l
acquainting them with this important resolution on the
part of the Porte.
The above circumstance, with the Bosphorus being
open, and the peace With Persia, will no doubt have a
great effect on the Russian Cabinet; and it is already
understood that most part of the demands of the CZAR
are complied with, excepting one point, which certainly
is tise.rnost important—that is, the money due to Russia
by the Treaty of Akermann. Both the Austrian and
Prussian Ambassadors are daily eagaged to bring the
affairs of the East to a settlement."

A Dutch Mail and German Papers were received
this morning. The Hague Journal of the 2d inst. states
that the Session of the two Chambers of the States Ge-
neral was closed the day before, with a suitable speech,
delivered in his Majesty the King of the NITHERLAND'iI
name. The Journal of St. Petersiurgh, to the 19th ult.
is remarkably barren of intelligence, and contains no
political news of any kind.
We have also received Frankfort Papers to the 29th
March. They are of the same uninteresting character
as the former regarding political matters. They con-
tain a long article from Bremen, giving an account of
the arrest of a woman in that city, accused of poisoning
a number of men. The article in question, after detailing
a series of enormities, in which this woman was but too
successful, attributes her crime to superstitious zeal and
covetousness.

A Meeting of a number of the Cabinet Ministers
took place yesterday afternoon, soon after flee o'clock, at the
Foreign Dice, Downing-street; the Duke of WIILLINSTON, the
Earl of Damn, the Earl of Assumes, and Lord Itunriaosotrou

13131er oF DYONIt.
Monday owning, the wife and daughter of the elder
prisoner took their farewell.of their wretched. relations,
but no peculiar emotion was manifested by them. The
conduct of Wm. Dyon. the father, has been most cal.
lout up to the very last moment of his existelleo.. He
and his son were in separate cells, and during the night
of Tuesday, a fellow-prisoner of the name of Willis,
who was with Wan. Dyon, prayed most earnestly that
the culprits] " might confess their guilt," on which
the prisoner interrupted him, in a very bad spirit,
by asking, what would he have them to confess ?
that they had confessed all they could. On the morn-
ing of yesterday, before the execution took place, the
elder, gave Willis two notes to give to his son
John, both of which were intercepted, and were to
this effect, that he was to hold his tongue and say lit-
tle. About eleven o'clock in the forenoon, the-door
of the cell of the eider was opened, in order to put the
culprits together, when lie inquired of the turnkey, " if
they were going to hang them directly ?" At twelve
o'clock they were conducted to the fatal platform; the
young man came on first ; he looked pale and distressed
in mind; the father followed, and cast a careless look
upon the crowd congregated to witness the awful scene.
The Ordinary commenced reading prayers, in which
the young man joined most earnestly, but his father was
quite indifferent, and turned round to look at the suspend-
ed halters. The young man repeated aloud the Loan's
Prayer, and continued crying "Lon]) have mercy on me."
Just before the caps were placed over their faces, the
Under Sheriff went to the younger culprit, who, in
answer to an inquiry,. said that they were guilty.
The old man appeared to desire to prevent, this coo-
-1 venation, but was kept, back. The father witnessed
Most.intedsely the executioner adjust the rope round
the neck of his unfortuate son, place the cap over
his face, Stc. without the least indication of parental
feeling, contrition, or remorse. The same ceremony
having been performed for himself, he kept thrusting
up his cap, in order that he might see something. At
ten minutes past twelve they were launched into eternity
amidst at least 10,000 spectators. They were both
dreadfully convulsed. The father was dead in three
minutes, but lite was not extinct in the son for five mi-
nutes. After hanging the usual time, their bodies were
cut down and given to the surgeons for dissection. The
body of the father was sent to Leeds for that purpose

Viscount ITABAYANA, the Brazilian Minister, and
Baron VoLow, the Prussian Minister, transacted business with the
Ear/ of MoDLZY yesterday, at the Office of the Secretary of State

The:Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, accompanied
by the Princess Emma of CAZOLATH, left their residence -in the
Admiralty about half-past three o'clock yesterday afternoon, in
their carriage and tour, for their seat in Bushy Park, where their
Royal Highnesses will spend the Easter holidays. The household
of the Duke and Duchess left town for Bushy in the course of the
day in three carriages and four. Their Royal Highness's plate.was
conveyed to Bushy on Wednesylay. The Duke's noble stud of
horses has also been conveyed to Bushy.
A Confirmation of the Juvenile Branches of the No•
bility took place yesterday, at his 'Majesty's Chapel Royal, St.
-James's, by the Bishop of Lemma, as Dean of the Chapel, when
about ninety of the Nobility were confirmed by his Lordship. who
delivered an imp's-wave Address suitable to the °mason. The Chapel
was excessively crowded.

Letters received yesterday morning at the Nivey-
li
office, Somerset House, from the agent for transports at Malta,'
dated 17th of February, confirm the intelligence published by ui
on Wednesday. of the safe arrival there of the Ann and Amelia
transport, all well on board.
-Information was obtained at Lloyd's yesterday, of
the loss of t►e Asia merchant vessel, bound from Hamburgh to
China, basing on board a very valuabk cargo. The Underwriters
at Lloyd's alone are supposed to be losers on the ship and cargo of
a sum nearly amounting to 60,C001. She was lost near Manilla, on
the 16th of October.

The accounts from Barcelona bring intelligence that
the KING was positively to leave on the 10th of April,
for Madrid. This was issued by the Count d'Eseacee,
in an order of the day to the troops.
Between one and two o'clock this morning, the vici-
nity of John-street, Clerkenwell, was Thrown into great
alarm, by the premises of W. CLIFTON, a jeweller,
being discovered by the watchman to be in flmes. An
instantaneous alarm was made, and the family escaped
by the roof without difficulty. They had not • been
many minutes in a place of safety, when the flames
mounted throughout the building, which was com-
pletely destroyed in less than an hour.
DARING HIGHWAY Rossany.—This morning, about
four o'clock, a most daring highway robbery took
place, between Gravesend and Dartfoid. It appears,
that Monsieur LA FONTAINE and his Lady were travel.
hug post - from Dover to town, having landed at the
former place from the Continent on the previous after.
noon, and having some urgent business to transact, de-
termined to travel by night. The chaise was proceeding
at a slow rate up a hill when a light cart passed, in
which were three men, and as soon as the chaise arrived
at the sumniit of the hill the cart was found standing
there, and the men at the horse's head : they instantly
commanded the postilion to stop, and seized the horse's
reins, while a ruffian opened the door. and piesenting
a pistol to Monsieur LA FONTAINE, with hdrrid threats,
demanded his money or his life. Monsieur, ierlscitaci a
large sum of money in the chaise, resisttd. 'alien the,
villain fired at him, but providentially missed. bin) in
the scuffie;and the ball penetrated the back of ihie
riage; finding be was-not injured, the ruffian a
blow on the temple which stunned him, and then drag-
ged him out of the carriage, and threw him into a ditch
on the roadside. Madame, who had fainted in the
carriage, was also thrown into the ditch, and, the villains
ransacked the carriage of a portmanteau, which was in
the seat, containing about six hundred Napoleons and
a jewel case, containing-jewels and trinkets of the value
of 4001 and upwards, together with two gold snuff
boxes and other valuables': ticles. The robbers, to pre-
vent pursuit, then cut the traces of the harness, and
jumped into the cart with their booty, and galloped off
towards town. o.ve of the villains held the postilion
during the time the ethers were ransacking the car-
riage, with a pistol held to his head. In about a gnar-
-1 ter of an boar some farming men harpened to pass, and
assisted the unfortunate Gentleman and Lady into the
chaise,aud after some time they proceeded on their jour-
ney. It is supposed that the villains were aware of the
property which Monsieur La Fontaine had about him.
The Society for the Distbarge and Relief of Persons 'I
imprisoned for Small Debtslave, within the last twelve

restored to liberty in the period of twelve months, since

Pounds for carrying into effect his benevolent Wien-

‘bIIIIADIVUL AND DebTRUCTIvII,4IIIr&
Sunday morning, about two o'clock, tire extensive
premises of Messrs, Joshua Lockwood and Co. manufac-
tures: of cotton and woollen cloth, &e. in Manchester- •
street, Huddersfield, was discovered to be on fire; and.
such was the rapidity with which the devouring Ale-
ments pursued its devastation, that in about twenty mi.
nutes the roof of the principal mill fell in, and shady
afterwards all the- floors in succession. Two fire eds.
pines arrived as early as p,ssible, and by dint of ona•
remitting exertions, the remaining parts of the premises •.
were nearly all preserved without material injury. The
scene at one time was awfully grand, the whole of the.
factory, six stories high, being one mass of fire. Perhaps
an instance was never seen of a mill being more corn.
pletely destroyed by fire, nothing remaining but a fete
beams. The loss is estimated at about 10,0001. and no.,
part of the once valuable premises was insured ; and
there is very little doubt but that this dreadful calamity
is the diabolical act of some incendiary, as the fire
broke out in a new unfinished building adjoining the
mill, in which there had never been any light or fire
before.

BETTING-ROOM, TATTERSALL'S, AWL 3.

The room was again crowded, and the betting again any titbit
than heavy; nothing in fact was dune till towards the close. Fresh
changes have been effected, but as we know not for what reasons,
we can only mention their occurrence. Between five and six o'clocii
some general betting commenced, having the effect of bringing both
Mona and Omen into request; and they both left off on the ad.
vane. At one time Giraffe threatened to go into the rear, but bid
friends having rallied, be was backed freely at 20 to 1. Some offer)
were made about Navarin and The Colonel, which proved the
former to have the call; none of the offers were taken. A five
straggling bets to sujgreat amount were made on the Stakes of neat

odds were thus— _ • .

LAW INTELLIG tNCE.
COURT OF CHANCERY, Aram 3.

The LORD CIIANCELLOi-It will be proper to Men-
tion that I h ive delivered to the registrar a series of cr-
eels; which have been prepared by the advice and with
the assistance of the other Judges of the Court, the
Master of the Rolls, and the Vice-Chancellor, founded
upon the propositions recommended by his Majesty's
Commissioners. These orders are to come into operation
on the lst day of nest Easter Term. They embrace
a considerable proportion of the objects to which
those propositions were directed. With respect to
those which remain, they divide themselves into two
classes. One of these classes cannot be carried into
effect without the aid of Parliament. That part of
the practice of the Court which depends upon Acts
of Parliament, should be altered, when it is requisite,
by the Legislature. Those propositions which relate
to the regulation of the offices cannot be carried into
effect without pecuniary aid, for w!'ich it will be neces-
sary to apply to Parliament. The Commissioners have
recommended the abolition of orders of course: We
have not yet carried into effect that recommendation,
and for this reason—we think that application for that
purpose should be made to the Legislature, because the
change will most materially and essentially aff.ct the
ancient and established emiluments of the officers of,
the Court; and we think. therefore, that an opportune y
should in justice be afforded them to apply to the Legis-
lature for compensation. A Bill, framed for these pin-.
posesitas been prepared. •With respect to the remaining
propositions, they have not yet all been converted into the
shape.of oiders t they are, however, neatly completed,
and will, from time to time, be issued ; until, with some
exceptions and modifications, which further experience
and inquiry have suggested, the whole of what has
been recommended by the Commissioners wiU be finally

adopted. The bide's are signed, not only by myseli,
but by the Master of the Rolls and the Vice-Chancel
lor. It is proper to add► that they have been prepared
cbiefly by the Master of the Rolls, who v, as a most
effective member of the commission ; and I believe sat
in the chair of the commission ; and I am happy to h ive
this opportunity of espies:in my personal obligation
to hits, for the very great Attention he has paid to this
important subject.

Mr. ROUPELL moved for a special injunction to re-
straiwthe defendants in this case from conveying abroad
certain valuable property belonging to the plaintiff. it
appeared that some time since the plaintiff had placed a
number of jewels, to the value of between 5,0001. and
. 6,000/. in the hands of the defendants, for the purpose of
• being sold by commission. At the same time, being shoe t
• of cash, he had obtained advance; from them, for which
.be had given his acceptances and bills of exchange as se
curity.The jewels were subsequently taken t:-Paris, but a
. sale not having been effected, the plaintiff wished to get
them back again, and accordingly applied to the de-
fendants for that purpose; and. as the money he had
Obtained horn them remained. unpaid; it was agreed
that the property should be returned to England and

Was not indebted to them fur. The defendants, however,
intiiied upon the demand ;-and upon its non-payment,
they proposed to re-eoLvey the property to France, to
pievent which the present injunction was prayed.
His HONOUR being of opinion that a sufficient Case
bad been made out, granted the injunction.
