FATAL BOXING.

Another death by boxing occurred no board a lighter in the
River, on Monday. Two men, named Goddard and Anderson,
having had a dispute at a public-house, agreed to go thither and
fight it out. The men, who were heavy round slashing bitten,
fought for fifty minutes, and both sustained much injury by
heavy falls in almost every round. At length Goddard was
knocked down, and he was stunned with the blow, his head
having fallen heavily upon the planks. His seconds were unable
to souse him, and be died in less than two hours.

An account from Corfu, dated April 24th, states,
that the Greeks were again in possession of Patras.
They had also obtained possession of Modone, as the
Greek flag was seen flying there by a vessel which
passed from Alexandria to Trieste. It was also stated,
that the Greeks were in actual possession of Napoli
di Romania, the strongest fortress belonging to the -
Turks, and which, if the report should be confirmed,
must have been taken by surprise, as the Turks are
remarkable for their obstinate defence of fortifications.

The following is an estract of a letter dated Genoa,
May 10:—" Everything continues tranquil here. The
Deputations sent to the King have been given to
understand that no foreign troops will be allowed
to enter the city. In fact, some Austrian picquets,
which had reached Voltaggio, on their march hither,
have received orders to halt."

Baron Nicolay, the Russian Ambassador, is gone
with his family to Kiel, and will go by way of Gluck-
stadt and Cuxhaven to London.
A letter horn Burgos of the Ist inst. says—" The
Prior and three or four of the brothers of the Con-
vent del Carmen have been arrested for participation,
as is supposed, in the designs of the Curate Merino,
against the Constitution. The discovery was effected
in a singular manner. The Curate had sent a letter
to the Prior of the Convent, telling him that his plans
were ripe, and nothing but money was wanted, which
he requested him to send by the bearer. Our Poli-
tical Chief intercepted the messenger, but sent the
letter to its destination by another person, similarly
habited, who was admitted into the Convent, regaled
sumptuously, and presented with a bag of money.
The next morning the Prior was surprised by a visit
from the Officers of Justice, to whom he for a long
time refused entrance, and caused the bells of the
Convent to be sounded, in the hope that the country
people would flock to his assistance, but without
effect, and he and his brethren had, of course, no
alternative but to surrender at discretion. Surely
these holy persons seek to fill Heaven with martyrs!'
No Report has yet appeared from the Agricultural
Committee : we observe however, with pleasure,
many announcements of reductions or abatements .of
rent, among which may be noticed that of the Mar-
quis of LANSDOWN, who has lowered the rents of his
Wiltshire tenants—of Lord GAGE, who has abated
one-fourth of the rent due from his Sussex tenantry--
and of the Earl of CHESTERFIELD, and Earl MA*.
VICES, who have made a reduction of 10 per cent. on
their estates in the Nort}..

In the diary of JOHN EvEt vx,Esq. for the year 1703,
is the following entry : "Corn and provisions so cheape,
that the farmers are unable to pay their rents."
