provided the parish found sites and furniture. The parish funds,
however, have already been charged with £75,385, and several
thousand pounds remained unpaid at the time of your Committee's
investigation. The the of ore of these Churches cost £11,665.
In 1222, they had power to raise £20,000 for attain purposes
of the Courthouse and %Vetebiome, upon which has been expended
£27,000, and the Courthouse remains in an unfinished state.
In 11124, they neglected to pay off, as required by law, £47,000
on bonds bearing 5 per cent. interest. when money was to belled at
Se or 4 per cent. The major part of this debt was due to Tarrytown.
In 11124, 5, and 1, large sums (.UO,OOO at a dine). were bor-
rowed of their bankers upon the Vestry Clerk's note of hand; the
encase set up by the Vestry was, that the rates could not be col-
lected of the ric► and influential parialthrowns thus the Vestry 1601
only levied rates upon the more constant residents, but compelled
the latter to pay hundreds of pounds per annum interest upon
money so borrowed to accommodate absent parishioners.
In 11125, they purchased land illegally of a member of their own
body for £4,1100, without having any use for it, and many months
afterwards they appropriated it to uses not recognized by any local
Act. Proofs were also Oven of other dealings with members of
their own body, and their nearest relations, the latter being in con-
travention of their own bye-law. No wonder then that debts should
accumulate; and but for the facts being in evidence before the
House of Commons, it might be doubted that singe 1611, the enor-
mous debt or £227,000 has been incurred and still exists against the
parish; while the rates have increased SO and 60 per cent. in 1424,
U, and 26.

That their expenditure has been extravagant beyond calculation.
In 1113, The Rectorial or Saint blary.la.bonne Church was
resolved to be built as a Chapel, and contracted for at .C 19,810.—
When completed to its cupola and vane, it was in put pulled down,
and by a vote of Vestry of Seams to Si:.

In iBl4, it was converted into a Church, at a cost of 471,830.
The following items deserve attention--

If from the above you can say the parishioners have cause to be
satisfied, I will be silent ; but first I will mention one fact, that a
meeting of parishioners I. announced to take place within a fort-
night, us establish a parochial rent, after the manner of the Catholic
rent, to form District Committees-so collect and receive such sub-
scriptions, in ender to establish a fund to overthrow, by every legal
mean, the present system of Vestry in fit. Mary-in-bonne ; and
that at this Meeting Josses' Huns, El. M.P. has kindly con-

hi. de Royer, Minister Plenipotentiary of Prussia to the Porte,
arrived here from Naples on the 7th. He sent M. Brassier de St.
Simon, his Secretary of Legation, to notify his arrival to the Minis-
ters of the Porte, and be received to-day an official visit from Ischak
Effendi, the Interpreter of the Porte. The Ambassadors of France
and England, who left Naples almost at the ante time as M. de
Royer, arrived on the sth at the entrance of the Gulf of Smyrna,
whence they will immediately proceed to the Dardanelles,
Iwbere the Commissioners appointed to receive them are in at-
tendance. At the same time with them several French sod
English men of war arrived in the bay of Smyrna. The Rus-
sian fleet at Tenedos lately consisted of nineteen sail. The
Turkish Sect, since its fist return to the anaphors's, has made
two other Incursions into the Black Sea, where it probably is at
present. as no news has been received of its operations since it sailed
for the third time, which was on the 7th. On its second recursion,
upon the g6tla ?day, it had a serious engagement, in which a Rus-
sian brig, the Mercury, bravely defended itself against the Turkish
Admiral and Vice Admiral's ships, and dial not escape without
suffering severely. The Raphael, Russian frigate, Which was
taken by the Capitan Pacha an ha first cruise, has been manned
with a Turkish crew, and will be employed against the enemy.—
The crew. with the °Seen, have been sent to the Baguio. We

to have taken place on the Ist of June. between Prayed' and Kali-

this affair than upon that of the 7th of May.
Osman Aga, the Topchi Bache (General of Artillery), and the
Treasurer of the Seraskier. Slalomed Pacha, have been raised to
the rank of Packs' of Two Tails, retaining the offices which they
have hitherto held. The coaskkrabk supplies which have arrived
from different Tanen have completely removed the search, of

Oa the Sid of May (4th June) at ten o'clock in the evening,
the Turks attacked our centre with unexampled boldness; they
passed the second line, as well as the battery No. 33, on our left
wing. Favoured by the night, a party of them secretly approached
our first intrenchment. where they suddenly opened a very brisk
fire, and' endeavoured to advance to the middle of oar batteries
bat they would have been beaten back by two companies of the
regiment of Pultava. a battalion of the Akkopol,
and by a battalion of the 57th regiment of under the
orders of General Prince Golskow, bad they not been repulsed by
a battalion of the 47th Regiment of Chimers before that could be
effected. Their attack on our left wing was not more successful.
for they were repulsed at the bayonet by the 24 battalion of the
Regiment of Coernikow, under the orders of Major Bulgarow.
The second Turkish column fled precipitately, and took shelter in
the fortress before it cosh' be overtaken. Our loss consists in So
killed and SO wounded. The Turks left 40 dead on the spot, and
the deierters reckon their bee at SOO men. The laliabitants and
the garrison of Minds, who are no where protected from our but.
lets, deplore their wretched condition. They are altogether die.

Risked their means at safety.—Opurier grlimace and Ver.

among the crew of the Conquerant. This affair, which has been,
much less serious than it would be represented, was almost cosi-
pletely settled at the departure of the last courier. Yesterday.
half an hour after the departure of my letter informing you of tlai•
movement among the marines of the Conquerant, we saw more
than halftof those men who had been so culpably disobedient retail',
into our city. Nothing more was necessary than the presence uf
some Officers. who had sailed in the Conquerant, to induce them
to return to their duty. One reminded them of their former glory
at Navarin, the character given of their bravery by the Adniiral
who commanded them, and the deep sorrow that Admiral would
experience on his arrival, if they persevered in their guilty reso-
lution. In fact, the suavity with which these remonstrances were
made operated more on the minds of these sailors than Ave or six
hundred bayonets would have dope.

Our Ministers are Incessantly occupied in hastening the return
of Count Malta from Paris, and be has at last promised to them to
take his departure by the 6th or 7th or neat month. They rely
much on this diplomatist to extricate them from the labyrinth
they are involved in. M. (Midi* is not on a good footing with
their Recellencies, and be possesses talent enough to be aware lit'
the difficulties which this affair presents. He has frankly declared
to them that be was not able to do any thing at Pah. ut.le.s tbry
acted as they ought at Madrid, and unless they furnished him the
ducumenis requisite to refute the charges that hang over them.
One of the Liberal Papers makes the following statement :
• The Journals have hitherto remained silent respecting an u'u.
pleasant affair, which has nevertheless transpired. It seems that
General Al—. known for his devotedness to an illustrious un-

The Consul. on his part, sent a ship of war to the Amba-sadors going
