Ibrahim has sent the garrison of Castel tornese to
Patras, where land has been given them to cultivate, as
has already been done to the other Greeks taken in Elio.
Ibrahim has retained Michael Sissini, the Commander
of the fort, as well as the other Captains, and has left
them their arms. He has bad the hit rased, and has
set out for Patras, whence it is thought he will proceed
to Corinth along the coast of the Gulf of Lepanto. On
The other side of the Gulf 3,000 Albanians had marched
by way of Salone'towaids Athens. 'On the 22d May the
Perseverance steam-packet was seen from the imams of
ante steering towards the Gulf of Patras. At five in
the, afternoon, the Hellas frigate was seen following the
course of the Perseverance. The two vessels then steered
towards Clarente, and at half-past eight in the evening
a cannonade was heard, and by the light which it af-
forded it was perceived that the Greek frigate was en-
gaged with two Egyptian corvettes that were at anchor
in the port of Tigani, near Clarenza. The firing con-
tinued till 10 at night.
The next morning the cannonade recommenced, and
a boat from Clarenza brought word that there were in
the port of Tigani, besides the two Egyptian corvettes,
a brig and two transports, which had Greek prisoners on
board. Lord Cochrane had hoisted Turkish colours to
illiproach these vessels. At two o'clock, the Greek fri-
gate was seen, with the aid of telescopes, steering along
the Scropias (stead islands at the entrance of the gulf
of Panes) towing a vessel which appeared to be a
brigantine.
On the.3oth of May, a boat arrived at Corfu, in four
days, from Santa Mama, with dispatches from ;Major
Temple, the English resident it, that island, to Sir F.
Adam, the Lord High Commissioner. The subject of,
these dispatches was the arrival, at Santa Maura, of a
Turkish brig of war, which had taken refuge in the port
of Skorpias, to escape the pursuit of the Perseverance.
It is said, that the Perseverance remained 24 hours
off that port, and at the expiration of that time Copt&
Hastings, who commands the steam-boat, sent to the.
Unglish Resident at Santa-Manta, requiring him to order
the Turkish brig to quit the port in which it bad taken
refuge, since, according to the system of neutrality
adopted by the Government ofahelturian Islands, the
vessels of the belligerent port es- were net allowed to
remain above 24 hours in the ports et those Islands.
Major Temple intimated so Captain Hastings that ha
mese withdraw to the distanutoi a, sea mile from Santa.
Maitre, in compliance with the same system of neu-
trality, and that then he (Major Temple) would not fail
to make the brig depatt. Captain Hastings imme-
diately replied, that first of all the brig must be made
to depart, and that he would return at the same moment
to the distance required ; and that if it was per-mined
to remain there any longer, he was resolved to burn it
in the port. It was under theseciecunutancee that the
Major has sent to ask instructions of the Lord High
Ciantativianer.
A letter from Zante says, that on the 23th of May,
the Hellas trigate was seen with a brigantine. At two
o'clock these vessels were so acre the coast that the
persons on board could be distinguished. Lord Coch-
rane was in the frigate, which, besides the Greek colours,
bore also the Admiral's flag. Two boats came to the
Lazzaretto—one brought some Turks, and a Captain of
a merchantman from Cephalonia; the other, Lord
Cochrane's nephew and Miaalis. The Cephalonia
Captain was owner of a martignane, taken near the
Scropias, on board of which were 27 Greek prisoners
and ten Turks, who were to be conveyed to Patras.
Admiral Cochrane delivered up the eleven persons at
Zane', and required that the Captain should be punished
for basing violated the system of neutrality by convey-
ing Greek prisoners. The brigantine was a Turkish
vessel, laden with 180 barrels of gunpowder, butter,
and ether ptevisions, which had left Prevesa for Paten,
with 40 Turks, both men and women.
Lord Cochrane had landed at Clarenza all the Tur-
kish prisoners, with their effects, giving them a letter
for Ibrahim Pacha, in ankh he said, that civilised sea
tions acted in this manner, and he hoped that the Perla'
would therefore do the same. The ships remained till
ten o'clock with all their sails spread. They then sailed
for Clatensa, perhaps t r join the Perseverance. We do
not know where that vessel is, but it is said to be block-
ading two Turkish vessels in the port of Skropias, in
Santa Maura.
Lord Cochrane has sent to the Resident at Zante, the
declaration of the blockade of the Gulf of Patter. Since
that time all consignments to that place are postponed.
A Captain lately arrived from Modon, who says that
the Turkish fleet. of 29 sail, from Constantinople, had
entered that poet. Some days earlier, the Egyptian ships
which the new Governor of Candia brought from Alex-
andria to Candia,had arrived at Navarin.
TRIRSTE, June 14.
Letters from Syra, of 27th May, say, that nothing
new was known respecting the Acropolis, which had
provisions for several months. The Greeks in the
ll'irmus, after endeavouring to entrench themselves,
were said to have dispersed. Redschid Pacha had sent
to Megara 5000 of the new troops who gathered in the
harvest, and returned with 2000 slaves, and a quantity
of cattle. The brother of an inhabitant of Syra, who
was among these slaves, was ransomed for a large sum
CI money.
The Captain of a vessel, in seventeen days from
Alexandria, says, that the Egyptian fleet was fitting out
very slowly, and would not be ready to sail in less titan
three months. The same Captain met, near 'ante, the
Turki.ll fleet, from Constantinople, amounting to 30 sail.

without going further than Irun. The Manorial Bar-
defais of the 22.1 states, that it is by an order of the
Spanish Government he has been prevented from going
to Madrid, and obliged to return to Prance. It is pre-

After forty years of revolutions all have learned that
opin;Ons as well as conscience should be respected and
iniriolable; that there is always danger, and never pro-
fit, in attempting in subject them to violence. If Mi.
nisters really wish the welfare of the country, and con-
sequently the integrity of the Charter, which is its only
guarantee, they will take care to abstain from such a
course. By repnmsing opinion, instead of watching
over its expression, since they have the right so to do,
they would rue the risk of being precipitated into a
labyrinth, which would every moment present in-
convenience and daily. danger. -They would become
the guarantees of all.the facts, of all the phrases printed
in the journals, since they would puns the monopoly
of all thoughts, of all words. which might be impru-
dent or fatal on the part of the Government, while no
consequence attaches to them on the part of citizens.—
Ministers would thus be rendered responsible for ex-
pressions and acts with which they have no concern,
and no Government can support the burden of such
responsibility.

the other from the seventh, having been closed, the.first of these
two has entirely failed, and the other must, of course, depend on the
declaim of the claim of Thomas Wentworth-Dillon,who is a minor.
The But of FALMOUTH protested the Petition, and Mr.
Eamatax, the agent for the claimant, having produced his case
ltrail pedigree, together with the epitoine of the necessary proofs,
their Lordships were pleased, at the solicitation of Mr. Lomas,
to adjourn the further consideration of this claim until the first
Committee of nest Session when the necessary evidence alluded to I
in the case is to be produced.
This claim differs from the preceding claims to this Earldom,
lessamith as the case lies within a narrow compass, and requires, In
the main, the coacurreot proof of the perish registers referred to,
to prove the title of the minor, without resorting to any other evi-
dence, except as confirmatory of the registers.
