MALTA, arraign 19.

• ..••ini,...

Admiral Sir H. Weak has just come in with twenty
Owners (pirates), taken on board a private vessel : he
has brought witnesses with him to prove their guilt, so
that we expect their trial almost immediately. The
treachery of the Greeks under General Fabvier, is consi-
dered here as the final overthrow of the Greek cause.
It seems that the General. with 15,000 troops (of all
kind%), 6,000 of them Greeks made an attack upon the
Turks ; when the Grecian force was detached to turn al
particular wing of the enemy this, howevir, they did'
not attempt, but deserted the field, which led to Gene-
ral Litrier's immediate retreat, with considerable loss.

The departure of a King's Messenger for the United
States of America, is said to have been occasioned by a
misunderstanding with the American Government, on a
claim set up by the Americans, aad particularly by the
State of Maine, to a tract of land always heretofore
considered as a part of our Province of New Brunswick,
and inhabited by people who have always acknowledged
the British Sovereignty, and been actually enrolled in
the New Brunswick Militia. This territory, only im-
portant to the Americans as a means of aggression, is
important to us as a means of defence, and to preserve a
winter communication with Canada.

In the Palace Court, on Friday,-an action was brought
by a tradesman named Danks, against a Mrs. Fernan-
dez, of Norfolk-street, Strand, to recover the amount of
101. due by her upon a promisiory note. The defendant
pleaded her coverture, and called a witness named Heave,
who pro►ed that other dealings had taken place between
the parties, independently of that for which the note in
question was given, and thatall those dealings had been
honourably met by the defendant ; that the plaintiff had
admitted his being aware that Mrs. Fernandez was a
married woman when he gave the credit, which the
plaintiff stated had been given on her honour; and that
finding she did not display that degree of honour he
expected, be would spend 601. in exposing her. This
witness also proved that the husband of the defendant
was living. Verdict for defendant.

from its place of interment in the upper ground.
Mr. Morris, of the Haymarket, is reported to have

It is understood, that in consequence of the dreadful
acts of violence and robbery which have for some time
past been committed by gangs of bullock-hunters, as
.hey are called, in the neighbourhood of Bethnal-green,
it was recommended by the Magistrates and others that
.he execution of those who were convicted of the high-
' say robberies should take place near that quarter. This
proposition under" out the consideration of Government,
.ut it was upon the whole deemed most expedient that
the usual course should not be departed from. '
