THE, ARMYb

tent of Casual', carries conviction to any mind. His
view of. religion was not of a gloomy cast ; but he
was labouring onder temporary fits of insanity for
,some time. How little do we know of human nature
when we lightly attribute to deliberate acts of self-'
murder such acts as are either rash, or are the effects
a insanity. Observe the feelings he laboured under
to afford support to his mother. Would he have leaped
overboard with his gold watch, his money, and other
valuable articles in other than an unsound state of mind.?
I dwell on this, as many; very many, have charged
•
this truly amiable man with a deliberate intention of,
the act, chiefly founding their uncharitable opinions
upon the fact of his asking to be informed when the
'ship approached Charleston. I conclude, Sir, with
alas, alas, poor Conway !"—Your humble servant,

TUESDA Y, MARCH 88, 1828.
LADI DAY--.IIOLIDAT AT TUE BATT.

FROM OUR CITY CORRESPONDENT.
The only arrival this morning of any consequence, is the packet
from Vera Cruz, which she left on the 3d of February, and by
which conveyance we have received letters from the city of
Mexico down to the 31st of March. The accounts state that all
was quiet there up to that period. The Government had become
more firm since the revolt had been crushed, and it was the general
opinion that the Congress would come to a resolution to bring
General Burro and his accomplices to trial; and it was feared that
the Government would use more severe measures against the Spa.-
niards. who were ordered to leave the country. A great distress
prevailed for the want of money, as the treasury was entirely
empty ; but upon the whole, it may be said that the a: counts from.
this quarter are more favourable. This is not the case with Central
America, as the troops from San Salvador has advanced anti Cap.
tured the town of Gualan, of which they did not long remain in
possession; for, on the approach of the troops from Guatemala
they retreated. carrying with them aU their plunder. In Otnoa,
every disposition has been made by the Europeans to embark their
property in either English, French, or American vessels, fearing
the general insurrection of the negroes.
The Consul market has improved this morning, in consequence
of the answer given by Mr. Secretary Pact. to Sir Rozzaz Wixom(
last night in the House of Commons, with regard to the Treaty
of the 6th of July. Consols opened this morning at 83/, receded
to 831 j, and at present may be quoted at 83j 1, with a firm
market.—ln the Foreign market, South American Securities have
rather improved.

In the House of Lords List night, Lord CAwnon asked
the LORD CHANCLLLOR if it was meant to include in the inquiry Into
the state of the Laws, the great Session of Wales, but the Loan
Cluny-Loa was not prepared to give an explicit answer. In reply
to a question of Lord Daitustr's, Lord Wassacs said, no separate
Report would be presented on the mkt, Post Office, but that the
General Report would, be believed, combs all the information on
that subject that was required.
An attempt wet; made last night in'the House of
Common: to postpone the consideration of the all important question
of the Corn Laws, but it was net persisted in, and the Resolutions,
as previously arranged, will be moved simultaneously in the House
of Commons and House of Lords on Friday. The question of
East 'Word SW not decided last night, though Ministers, we are
told, are determined to support Mr. Omegas-is motion. In the
case of Pecryn, it has been determined by ass overwhelming ma-
iority, 213 to 34, that the franchise Should be transferred to Man-
che►ter. The details of the transfer may requite, and will probably
receive, a few modifications. The Report of the Life Annuities
Repeal Bill was furtho considered, and the Bill ordered to be read
a third time this day. It will be seen by referring to Lord Joust
Rissai.t.'s speech on the Corporation and Test Acts, that the Dis-
torters have had the good seine to accept the conditions offered by
Secretary Pm.

The reply of Isle. Secretary Pen. to Sir RunEtrr
Wicson's question, last night, was sati,f4ctory, in so
far as it renewed the pledges already given by the ,
Government, that the Treaty of London shall be punc-
tually cartied into execution. To that part of the
inquiry, which asked the probability of our present
policy being changed by any circumstance that might
hereafter occur, it is perhaps too much to expect an
answer before that circumstance bas taken place. It
appears, however, that in spite of the warning given by
the Allies to IBRAHIM PACIIA not to remove the Greek
population, the atrocious act of carrying away, into
Eggistian bondage, thousands of Greek %%omen and
children, has been perpetrated in contempt of the pro-
bibitices of the Christian Powers, and actually after the
destruction of the Turkish fl-et at Nararin. Is it enough,
the*, in such a case, to say to the Barbarian, a It is the
last time such cruelty u ill be tolerated ?" Are we to
trifle with such enormities until the whole population of
the Morea is removed ? Surely vengeance was called
for upon so daring an outrage on a nation under the
protection of England and her Allies—committed in
disregard of decided warnings, and immediately after
the infliction of chastisement at our bands. We trust,
however, the Turk will hear more of this audacious act.

The advices by the Lisboa Mail of yesterday, etc ugh
act of an immediately decisive character, may be con-
sidered as a clear pregrostic cf the overthrow cf the
Constituticn of Portugal. Don Minuet, in order to get
rid of those remonstrances which could hardly fail to
accompany any attempt to throw off the authority of his
brother, or to abrogate the Charter, has dissolved
the Chambers, never in all probability to be again as-
sembled. The more immediate cause of the dissolution of
the Cortes is stated to be, that a vote ofthaiiks was to have
been proposed to the British Government in the Cham-
ber of Deputies, for the friendly and orderly conduct
of its troops while in Lisbon, and this motion it war.

have gone so far as to send to Spain for an army of

from which she had printed off a vast number of pro-

We received this morning Brussels Papers to tl
29d inst. The following are extracts:
BILUSSELSI DlAacu St.

The following is the report made by Colonel Fabvier
to the Greek Government, on a sally made by the Turks
in the fort of Scio, and of which a notice has already
been given in sever al Journals :

" SCIO, JANUARY 24.

" I have the honour tp send you an account of a
brilliant action, which does the greatest honour to the
Greeks. I had given orders for the occupation of an
elevated position, named Nemoreas, which is near the
gates of the fortress; but before this order could be
executed, the Turks, sallying from the place to the
number of about 1,000 men, themselves attacked this
position. Captain Ghee as, with About 30 men only, de-
fended it with the greatest valour. There the enemy
falling in a mass on the left, succeeded in passing the.
positions of Captains Papadopoulos and Neophitas,whose
soldiers, almost all of them natives of Scio, took flight.
" The Turks continuing to advance, occupied the
position called Hudak; but the 2d Regiment, con-
sisting of 225 men. rushed forward against that in-
rrenchment and attacked the enemy. At the same time
the regular corps of the right line approached, and the
line was again occupied, while other troops, supported
by a small corps of cavalry, under Captain Juvet, at-
tacked the Turks, who had occupied Turlotis, and
rursued them towards the town.
" The slaughter was terrible : of 1,000 Turks who
sallied from the fort, scarcely 100 returned. We have
taken thirty prisoner, among whom is an Albanian
Chief. The ditches are filled with dead bodies. The
Chiefs of the Turks and the flower of the garrison have
been killed. Seven standards have fallen into our
hands. During the action an immense number of balls
and bombs were fired from the fort. Our loss amounts
to forty killed and wounded. Among the latter is
Captain Neophitas, and I have myself also received a
very :light wound. Our greatest loss is that of Capt.
Vautier, of the H.noveri in service, who was killed in
the middle of one of the enemy's battalions, w here
he had made a dreadful slaughter. The prisoners
have informed is that one thousand five hundred
Turks, with provisions and ammunition, had arrived
in the fort, all whose officers are either killed or
wi unded. But for this reinforcement the place would
have capitulated long ago. The object of the enemy
was'to favour the landing of the Turks from Tchesme.
under the command of the Pacha of Smyrna.
" The honour of this glorious day is generally attri-
buted to the regular troops, and especially to -the 2d
Regiment. I have also great praise to give to the offi-
cers of the irregular troops, who, though the enemy had
occupied all the heights, succeeded in dislodging them,
and caused them great loss.

A Report from General Church, dated Mytico, the
4th February, announces that Missolonghi, blockaded
by sea and land, will soon surrender ; that the fort of
Anatolico would have been taken had not Captain
'ratings unfortunately received a slight wound; that
Omer Vriore still occupied Arta, though with few
troops, and that the Greeks had just taken four con-
voys of supplies destined for Missolonghi.—Brussels

JERSEY AND FRENCH FISHERMEN.
ST. MA LO, MA lien 16.
You will have doubtless heard, ere this, of the affray that has
taken place between the Jersey fishing smacks and the French armed
cutter Geoland, off Granville. It has excited a great deal of con-
versation here. We received the accounts on the 14th, as from
twenty to thirty boats cross Concall hay daily, the distance being
four leagues. As you will already, I dare say, have seen by the
Jersey Papers, more diffuse accounts than it is its my power now
to furnish, I shall not give you the full patticulars, but merely state,
that the general impression here is, that she aggression of the Jersey
men justified the French in the resistance they offered. It appears
the English snuck was anchored inside the Mast Rock (about a
league from Granville, and a sea-mark denoting the limits of the
English rights of fishing), and consequently was considered by the
French Captain completely out of bounds.
Desperate fights, betwe-n the French and English boatmen,
are of common occurrence on the fishing ground between Cape
Frebel and La Hogue. The Goeland is a beautiful little cutter,
about sixty tons, mounting four small brass swivels; she was em-
ployed last summer to fetch the Duchess D'Angouleme from Havre
to Cherbourg, and has but lately left this port.
The good people of this place are also on the qui eh*, In con-
sequence of the recent decision of the Chamber of Deputies an-
nulling the late election for this arrondissement. There were three
candidates last November, each differing in his political principles
—one, a M. de Fougeres, a partizan of M. de Villele, though an
Anti-Royalist; theother,a M. Velluchet Mavis, a Royalist, but
an opposer of Villele's 'Alinistry ; and the third, another M. Fou-
geres. M. de Fougeres (Villele's partisan) was returned by a
majority of four. The setting aside of this election has given great
joy to the St. Maloines, who arc, I may say, Liberals to a man.
There has latterly been a great demand for seamen for the
Royal service here, the St. Main-Mull being esteemed the best
sailors in Fiance, and they receive higher wages.
Two frigates and one corvette ara building at St. Servans (oppo-
site here); they go but slowly on, but the build is of a superior
description.

The Duke of Wzia.traurnt has been slightly indis-
posed; but we can assure our readers, that there is
nothing serious in his Grace's indisposition. His con-
finement to Apsley House arises from a slight accident
at the o,.era n Saturday night, when his Grace was
stepping into his cabriolet ; and with the exception of a
Scratch on the face, his Grace, in other respects, is in
perfect health.
A lamentable catastrophe occurred during the dread-
ful storm on Tuesday night, by which seven persons,
have lost their lives. The Venus steam packet, one
of the most beautiful vessels of its kind, is stranded at
a place called Glyn, a little to the southward of
Courtown, on its way to Dublin from Waterford,
which latter place it left on Tuesday night.—Dublin

A Ctroner's Inquest was yesterday held at the Peni..
tentiary, Milibank, on the body of William Goodricl ,
who was capitally convicted at the Old Bailey Sessions
of robbing his master, Stephen Price, of Drury-lane
Theatre, and whose sentence hid been commuted to
ten years' imprisonrrent in the Penitentiary. He vied
on Friday last, after a short illness, in the arms of his
wife, who stated to the Jury that he had every possible
bttendance during his indisposition. Verdict, Natural
Death.
EXECUTION AT Avuisauny.—The last awful punish-
ment of the law was carried into execution upon Robert
Saunders, for theisurglary at Radnage, of which he
was convicted at the last Bucks Assizes, on Friday
morning, at Aylesbury. When brought out upon the
scaffold, the rope was adjusted about his neck, the cap
drawn over his face, and the fatal bolt drawn which
consigned him to eternity, with as much celerity as
these various operations could be performed, and
which did not altogether occupy a minute. Life seemed
half extinct in the unhappy culprit when he came out,
and it was neces•ary to support him even during the
short time the preparations required. lle appeared to
die almost instantly.
LANCASTER, MARCH 22: THE EXECUTION OF JANE
SCuTT.—This wretched being did not leave her bed
since her sentence. She never once got up until this morning,
about ten o'clock, and she had refused all sustenance until this
morning, when she took a little tea ; she was in a state almost of
madness, and during the night, as on the former night, was crying
out aloud. Early In the morning, she was in such a state of ex-
haustion, that at one period it was thought she would have ex-
pired ; but she afterwards recovered, and became a little more
composed: still her state was that of the extremest wretchedness.
The Rev. Mr. Rowsar, the Chaplain, attended her for a consi-
derable time previou_ to the hour of execution. A few minutes
after twelve o'clock, the door front wh'ch culprits pass on to the
scaffold was opened—a deathless silence instantly pervaded the
crowd present: in less than a minute the wretched creature was
brought out, carried by two women; life was all but gone—she
had not the least use of her limbs ; her eyes were closed, but she
once opened them, and gave a ghastly look aroin.d her; the exe-
cutioner then turned her face to the gaol, put a cap over her eyes,
hooked the halter (which was adjusted round her neck) to the
chain that was suspended to the fatal beam, and retired. The two
women supported her for a moment, when one of them left her in
a hurried manner, in an apparent state of alarm ; the other woman,
who kiased the culprit the moment before the cap was pulled over
her eyes, in another moment followed the example of the first, and
the just victim of the law remained for a second, supported by the
halter, in a leaning position; while in that state the drop fell, and
launched her into eternity. The whole time front her coining out
until she ceased to exist, did not exceed two minutes.
