It is now certain that the Army of the Mores is

order ?or the recall of the Army, of which he was
the bearer. The Geoeral in Chief was veiolvei

giments sbnutrf go home first. In consequence all

General Schnieder, and drew. No. 29. The Colonel of
the 85th drew the number of his own Regiment, and

Air political affairs continue to improve. Order and
tranquillity continue to prevail here, and tradi begins
to -revive.

The Greek voops encamped at Megara have taken
the field, and have been victorious in several actions
which they have bad with the Turks in Eastern Greece.'
We hope that by this time the Greeks are musters of
all the coast of the Gulf of Lepanto, including the town
of &lona.

In Candia affairs continue to be favourable to the
Gsveks, who oblige the Turks to remain shin up in the
fottresses. An expedition of '2,500 or 3 000 men is
soon to go to the support of the Greeks ut chit island.
It will be accompanied by about ten large, vessels,
I besides smaller ones. Tombasis will command
espediti oh He is to be Governor-General f CanJia.

Dardanelles passed through theNe seas a fortnight ago.

preceding day several transports had arrived in two or
tutee days from Varna.
The snow in the vicinity ef Varna had wholly dis-
appeared, the weather had become very fins, which
facilitated the communication between the Russian
corps and Varna.
Accounts from Tiflis, of the 27th of November, say
that General Paikewitsch had ordered most of the troops,
about Khol to proceed under General Pankratjot to
reinforce the detachment in the Pachalik of Bazariljik,
at which place that Genteel mired on the 23d of
November, an] took the command of the left wing of
the army. The arrival of these esh tr,iops hid induced
the Turks to retreat to Eiscteum and March. 1 was
supposed that as the cold was becoming m"re
they would gn into Winter gainers. T.he most s.ati—

which have submitted to the ltu.s.an arms. Perfe‘t

Captain Studdett, U.N. and *bout Any other Gendemen.
The chief Mint of the dinner was to suggest the In-
stitivion at Madras of a Branch of the Royal Asiatic
Society of Great Britain.
With this view Mr. Lustituorou rose and requested
the attention of Whose around hull to a few an, d. he
WAS desirous of addressing co them, pref..toty to .4 tt:a
he was r.ure they would all heattily concur with Lim in
thinking. Before he left Erglata, a deputation of the
Royal. A4atic Society, consist:ng if some of its most
learned aid distinguished Members, Mr. Colt brooke,
Dr. Wilkins Sir Alexander Johnstone,
.and otters, did
hi.m.the houour.of waiting upon him to request, that
"on hi. arrival at Madras, be wt,tild use the influence
which the o situafin he had tow the honour to bold
must bestiiw, in promoting the Inflects of their institu-
.tion. lae under.tood their wish to be, and he believed
in was tbeittbeir wish, that. he should we his endeavour

to organise a S•Jciety at Madras, of a nature neatly
simiiar to their own, constituted in the same way. and
having fur iti etid precisely the same ohject.i. From
pai.ers which have since been sent out by a Committee
0144 Rossi Society, he imagined that they WO in sonic
measure limited their original views. or at all everts that
they conceive realer nut nines: mi,•ht be attained by the
lot !nation in the fist instance e.f a Society at Madras to
correspond with their own Committee of Translation
for this purpose they had r.quested him to unite with
the President of the Madras Literary S.viety in selectirs
from tha' Society and the body of the different Services,
such persons as are most likely to give vtfectual aid in
furthering the important objects they Lave in view.—
The objects to which they wish the atteini in of the yew
Society to be chiefly directed, are the ttatiil ti ns of
lam ks in the Arabic, Syriac, and Persian largi:4ges,
which Above ell may tend to tlunw lig, t t e Ot I-
Hebiew test of the Holy Scriptures, whi.ll mad

may resfote many mail sled pisssges in the Grecian

high encouragement for the composition of orii,inal
essays, illustra iie Cl the his•ory and manners ot the
inttives inhabiting the Peu,nsula, the s, uth ot India, and
the "Eastei n A•chipelago. Such being the object of this
Society, it was obvious, that whoever was to be P:esi-
tient of it, might to be a person well skilled in the Oti-
ru al lairguages. In inking round him fora person
posses ed ot this qualificatii,n, they would not be rip.
poised that his own choice should have rested upon th,
• Venerable Archdeacon, whose attainments in the lan-
guoges ot the Last are only eci .ol.ed by the lame of
..is great talents anJ extra-rdinary acquirements in the
ancient and mo2trit lite, ature of E•liope.
Atter is uch diffidence and reluct• ice on the pa t of
the Archdeacon, Mr. LuaulsoroN wes happy to say,
that he had persuaded hint to accept the office I f Plea
silent, and he felt that the f undaticn of this Institution
was well laid in this choice, and was confident that the
Archdeacon's consent would be hailed with the most
corotal satisfaction. Having seemed so aJmiratie •
Presittr n.. the next tit ng to he done was io protu•e a se-
r tar y, in whom sh uld he.united a portion of the sons*
knowledge of Oriental languages, the same ardent love
of knowledge and zeal for its promotion, and (what,
would mike him ot the greatest use to the Society)
who should possess a degree of influence from his con-,
fidental intercourse with the Government that slit uld
ensure the promotion of all such portions of the So.
ciety designs as may depend upon the due assistameof
the Government. The Venerable the Archdeacon
hawing been pleased to express his concurrence in the
nomination and qualifications of his (Mr. Lushiligton's)
son, he hoped he should be forgiven for saying that he
would not have proposed it to a person so nearly con-
nected with himself, if he had not known Oat he pos
sines till the qualities necessary for the useful execution
of the duties if the office.
Having thus provided a President and Secretary, he
hoped he might look to the assi•tance of the Honour-
able•President of the Literary Society in the selection
of fit petit:mit* the Committee of Papers, and in con.
tributtsig to promote all the other useful objects of this
Institution. It only remained for him to assure them
that it would be his own pride to give all the aid in his
power, either by advice or by any p,cnniary contribu-
tion which his own means might enable hint to supply,
• .for the promotion of the highly interesting and impors
tent purposes of the Association. Imperfectly as be had
thus explained the objects of the Society at Lome, it
would be very unreasonable to ask any -person to be
Conrail member until he should have had time to con-
sider and to Understood the subject better, and to !M.
die that option which every Englishman loves. Fur
the reseistktbetefote, he would only propose to them
