Count PALA/A lias publishei a statement of the pro-
ceedings taken by the friends of the Greeks on the subject of the
ships built at New York for the Greek service, which are there
ready to sail, and which cannot sail, because they are not paid for.
According to Couut .Pat.sta's statement, the Deputies, at the ur-
gent entreaty of some friends of the Greeks. of distinction, sent
General La ciaseasn to New York to buy two frigates. The Ge-
neral, instead of buying two frigates, got two ships of the line built,
a thing not to be done In a day, and he havisig espended 15.5,0001.
the ships lie in pawn for 50,0804 more.
A little Court scandal is making a great noise at Rio
Janeiro. It is stated, the Estrous is highly dissatisfied with her
Royal Consort, respecting some family arrangements, and also at
the Royal Decree, lately issued, proclaiming the illegitimate daugh-
ter of the EMPIIIIOI4 by the Viscountess s—s, Duchess .of
Govan. The &mass had solicited permission to return to Eu-
rope on a visit to her family; the request was peremptorily refused.
Saturday evening, a gang of fellows rushed Into the
shop of Mr. Sykes, a butcher, of Winchester. street, and stole a
piete of beef, weighing about 20Ibs. When Mr. Sykes interfered
to protect his property, they knocked him down, fractured his arm,
and he was otherwise so much injured, that he was conveyed to

the Hospital.
Mr. Ellis, a celebrated hop-grower, has, at this time,

has produced.
. The people of the United States affect to despise titles,
sod yet none are fonder of being called Excellencies, Judges, Your
Honour, The Honourable, Colonels, Captains, &c. and to address
a letter to any decent person in the United States without dubbing
him an Esquire, would be the greatest of affronts.
Cc um Encs.—Letters from DAntzic state, that a very
sensible effect has been produced in the corn markets t Stocks are
reduced, and pf ices high. At St. Petersburgh tallow buyers at
96—sellers at 100 ; little doing. Riga markets stationary. Coffee
and Indigo scarce, stated from Constantinople. Coffee, sugar, and
tallow, at home, firm, and improving in price. Exchanges favourable.
Although the account of the dispersion of the caravan.
with which Major Lanni was travelling through the African desert
was obtained through a high channel, still there are hopes that that
traveller has reached Timbuctoo without injury. A letter, dated
Tripoli, June 18, states that the Bashaves kiloliter of Foreign
Affairs had communicated to the writer of the letter the fact that
Major Lama had reached Timbuctoo " safe." No further parti.
cobra are given; but letters were expected at Tripoli from the tra-
veller about the Sth July.
At an evening party last week the conversation turned
upon the personal &inactions possessed by a popular actress. A
Lady baying observed that the face of the actress in question had
become so brown since she had been in the country, as to destroy
all trace of beauty, one of the company remarked, " That it was
not at all strange she should be browos since she bad been so often
touted."

EDINBURGH, SEPTEMBER 11.

DINNER TO LniuD MELVILLE.

Friday, a splendid dinner was given to Lord Mel•
vine, by the Lord Provost, Magistrates, and Council of
Edinburgh, in the Royal-Hotel, for the purpose of tes•
tifying to his Lordship the grateful sense they entertain
of the important services rendered by him to the city,
'in many public measures connected with its prosperity,
and especially in the arrangements recently adopted
respecting the port of Leith. Tne company was nu.
merous and respectable. About 90 sat down to dinner.

• The Lord Provost was supported on the right by Lord Melville,
and on the left by Lord Abercromby. There were also present
Lord Binning, the Lord Advocate, the Lord Clerk Register, Barns
Hume, the Solicitor-General, Sir John Hope, Sir John Dalrymple,
Sir John Erskine, Sir Philip Durhpm, K.C.B. Sir Henry Jardine,
Colonel Thaclaray, Colonel Thornhill, Colonel Farquharson, Keith
Douglas, Esq. M.P. Captains Taft, Stoddart, Deans, Wauchope,
and Hodgson, R.N. the Commissioners of the Leith Harbour and
Docks, the Honourable Henry Hondas, M.P. for Rochester, the
Honourabk Charks Ihmdas, Mr. R. A. Dundas, Mr. Buller, &c.
dce. The Lord President and the Sheriff were prevented, by in-
disposition, from attending.
After the usual preliminary toasts, the health of Lord
Melville was proposed by the Lotto PROVOST, in terms
of great feeling and eloquence, in which he alluded to
the deep interest his. Lordship had always taken in every
thing relating to the welfare of Scotland, and of this
metropolis in particular, and especially noticed the
great personal labour he had bestowed' in making the
arrangement, now so happily carried into effect, re-
specting the port of Leith ; an arrangement calculated
to benefit the public at large, and to increase the re-
venues of the city of Edinburgh. The Lord Provost
alto very feelingly adverted to the obligations Scotland
owed to the father of Lord Melvil!e, from whom he
might be said to have received, as an hereditary success
sion, that regard for its interests which he had so nobly
and amply exemplified.
Lord Matvii.ca., in that dignified, powerful, and im-
pressive manner for which he is so much distinguished,
replied to the topics alluded to in the Lord Provost's
address. After personally complimenting the Provost
for the able and successful manner in which he had
discharged the arduous duties of his high office, he
proceeded to state his attachment to the interests of this
metropolis—his anxiety .to promote its prosperity by
every exertion in his power—his satisfaction at finding
that what he had done had met with approbation—a
satisfaction enhanced by the recollection of the long and
intimate conntction that had subsisted between his
family and the city of Edinburgh, and added, that he
should at all times be gratified by having an opportunity
to exert any influence he possessed in favour of its im-
provement and advantage.
The health of the Lord Register, the Member for the
city, being drank, lie,wade an eloquent and appropriate
reply, in the course of which he dwelt upon his obligas
tions to Lord Melville, to whom he was much indebted
for co-operation and support whenever he had occasion
to apply to him on the affairs of the city of Edinburgh.
To the toast of 41 His Majesty's Ministers," Lord
MeLsrita.a returned thanks for himself and his collea-
gues, and stated in an energetic manner, the great
anxiety they all felt, in a time of no common difficulty,
to adopt and pursue those measures which seemed best
calculated to promote and secure the prosperity of the
nation.
The healths of the Lord Advocate, Lord Abercromby,
Lord Binning, the Solicitor-General, and other distins
guished characters present, were successively proposed,
and followed by appropriate replies. Totehat of the
University, Professor Wilson returned the thanks of
his
colleagues in an eloquent manner.
The evening was spent with the utmost harmony and coon.
viality, and the noble guest and Isis friends left the room at a late
hour, apparently much gratified with the conduct of the entertain-
meat, and the attention which bad been paid them.

The following, it is confidently stated, will be the
new Law Appointments consequent upon the death of
Lord GIFFORD: Sir John COPLRY, the present Attorney.
General, will be Master of the Rolls; the Soticrroa-
GENERAL succeeds Sir JOHN COPLRY in the office d

!FURTH SR PA RTICULA RS.

The outer gates leading from Chancery-lane into the
'olls Court were closed at an early hour yesterday
'morning, and a party of police, under the superintend-
ance of the veteran Townsend, were placed there to
prevent the intrusion of the crowds who were collected
on the out,ide, and who, but for the police, would have
rushed in when the gates were thrown back f6r the ad-
mission of the carriages of the mourners. By one o'clock,
the distinguished Law Officers who had signified their
intention of attending having arrived,the door of the offi-
cial residence of the deceased Nobleman was thrown op. n,
and the procession moved forward in the following order:
Two Mutes.
A plume of feathers.
The Rev. Mr. Erskine (brother of Lord Erskine) having an ern
Prayer-book in his baud.
11111 corns.
Which was covered with black cloth, and studded with nails of the
same colour.' The pall covering it was supported by the following

distinguished Law Miters:
On the one side—The Lord Chancellor, the Lord Chief Baron of

Scotland, and Sir Williim Grant.
On the other aide—'lke Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench,
the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, Mr. Justice Park, and

Mr. Justice Gazelee.
The mourners in esief were Mr. William Gifford. and
Mr. Charles Gifford (*others of the deceased Noble-
man), and some other branches of the family. Behind
followed the Attorney-General. The rear was brought
up by the officers of the Rolls Cnurt.
The procesSion having entered the chapel (a distance
of only a few yards), the solemn ritual appointed by the
Church of England was read by the Rev. Mrarskine,
'after which the body was deposited in a vault on the
northeast side of the altar, immediately above the re-
mains of Sir William Fortescue, and opposite to those
of Sir Thomas Plurner. Lord Gifford, we learn, has
left a family of six children, besides which Lady Gifford
is said to be in daily expectation of being confined. The
eldest, a boy, and now heir to the title, is only ten years
old. Lord Chief Justice Abbott appeared mush indis-
posed, and it was evident that it.was not without pain
that he sustained the part which his respect to the de-
ceased Nobleman bad induced hint to accept.

The Brazilian Consul, M. l'EssAyibt, and family
lave arrived by the Brazilian, at Liverpool.
Sir FRANCIS Bun:Ps:TT is now sojourning at Mau.
ma's Hotel, in Paris, where he and his Suite occupy twenty-
seven ropes.
This day is remarkable as the anniversary of the
deaths of General WoLrz, 1759; and CHARLES JAMSI Fox, 1806.

Dr. COMMON, the new Dian of Chester, arrived at
Chester on Tuesday.
The Magistrates were engaged till nearly one o'clock
.on Monday, at the Sessions House, Horseeionger-lane,
for the purpo}e of granting licences to publicans. There
were no fewer than fifty-eight Petitions (for the South-
wark and East 13rizton division), presented for new
victualling-houses.
The Journal de St. Petersburg contains a very long
article from Odessa, relative to a new Company called
" The Odessa Black Sea Company :" authorised by the
late Emperor ALEXANDER. by a rescript of 10th Oct.
1825. The object of the Company is to erect mills, to
be worked by steam, for the purpose of converting the
wheat which abounds at Odessa into flour.
It is said that the Bank of Brazil has consigned to
their Correspondents in London a parcel of rough dia-
monds, and a considerable quantity of Pernambuco
wood, on account of the Brazilian Government.
Letters from St. Petersburgh state, that several per-
sons have been arrested in Moscow, upon a charge of
being implicated in the late conspiracy.
GREEK PIRACIER.—The following letter has been
received from the Agents to Lloyd's at Smyrna, dated
August 4 His Majesty's ships Cambrian and Rase
came into port yesterday afternoon. We continue to
enjoy perfect tranquillity. The brig Skylark, Captain
Davis, which carried out stores from London to Napoli '
di Romania, and on sailing for this place in ballast, was
• furnished by the Greek Government with a letter of
protection, was completely plundered by upwards of
JOO pirates in boats, off Cape Doro, about 14 days
ago, of every thing portable, so that Captain Davis and
his crew arrived very destitute of provision and cloth-
ing. Mr. Jolir, who had gene with Captain Hamilton
on a cruise in search of pirated British goods, left the
Cambrian at Vourla some days ago. They had visited
Gira, and most other places where property was likely
to be secreted ; but the object of their visit being unfor-
tunately too well known, he only succeeded in recover-
ing, at different places, a variety of trifling articles, pro-
bably part of the plunder of the brig Helen, whichl are
on board the Cambrian. Information was obtained ofl
property concealed at 'l'hermia, to the value of 10001.
or more; and Mr. Jolit sailed yesterday in His Wk.-
ty's frigate Seringapatam for that island. Of the few
goods obtained here on landing from Gira, by authority
of the Consul, great part has been returned to the
claimants, after due investigation of their documents,
and for want of proofs to warrant condemnation. Some
shawls remaining unclaimed, those, with the goods on
Ward the Cambrian, will likely suffice for all expenses
hitherto incurred here, if nothing else be recovered. It
is too evident that there is not a sufficient number of
=gall ships of war on the station to suppress piracy, un-
less much more rigorous measures be taken. It is in
vain to expect the fresh Government will put them
down; and when it can be said, without departure
from truth, that the inhabitants of the islands are all
interested, more or less, in this nefarious trade, they will
not be inclined to discourage it, nor the pirates to desist
of their own accord. The Captain Pacha's fleet, and
some thousand troops, are opposite Samos, and an at-
tack on the island is hourly expected, which rill pro-
bably be frustrated by fifty Greek cruisers in the vicinity,
and by a vigorous defence on the part of the Samiots."
News from Hayti says, "the corvette Isis had arrived;
the French Consul General had been several times to the
Palace of the Government. It was generally believed at
Port-au-Prince, that all the difficulties relative to the
Treaty of Commerce were removed, and this was in-
ferred particularly from the approaching departure of
the ships Deux Freres,L'Emilientie, and the General Foy,
charged in great part on the account of Government."
Le Telegraph, a St: Domingo Paper, has brought an
account 9f the appointment of a Consul, M. EVERAERTii,
by the King of the NETHERLANDS, to reside in Hayti.
The Decree, under which he is appointed to that situa-
tion, was transmitted by M. EVERAERTS to the Presi
dent of Ham' and in doing so, that Gentleman gave
an amusing proof of his anxiety to promote the com-
mercial interests of his country. He actually sent, with
his letter, some specimens of merchandise, to which be
cal ed the attention of the Panstnatcr, expressing the
patriotic hope, that the time would, soon arrive when
such commodities would be purchased by Hayti from
Holland.
