In Is2o the Ministers of the Medical Board at Smolensk deli-
vered to Lieutenant Colonel Rutkowski a false certificate relative

to his wound. In cider to prevent such abuses in future, the Em-
peror has ordered that the medical men who signed the certificate,
shall repay to the fund of the invalids all the sems which it paid to
Lieutenant Colonel Rutkowski, from nth February, 18*1, to ad
December, 1826.

These Papers contain as news from Greece; and we
wish we could reasonably foetid upon this omission
hope, however faint, that there was no truth in the news,
of her recent disasters. The report is unfortunately too
well authenticated to admit of any further doubt ; and
we refer to our extracts from the Paris Papers for the
details. The result is the more painful. as nothing
could to all appearance have been better concerted
than the plan, which in the execution failed so mise-
rably. The plan, which was the result of several

conferences between the Greek Commanders and Lord
Cocas...um was to surprise the Turks in their entrench.
menu, by means of a night attack from the Pima.;
whilst a feigned usaolt was to be made simultaneously
from the opposite side by the Greeks under KARAIS-
HAIM The abject was to raise the siege of the Acro-
polis, if pouitde ; if not, to throw supplies both of men
and stores into that fortress. The death of KARAts•
NAV. who fell on the 4th, in a trifling skirmish, dis-
concerted the whole scheme, though the leaders were not
aware of this till the moment of execution. His troops,
who placed their whole confidence in him, refused to
fight at the trying moment, when they no longer heard
the voice that had wont to cheer them on so many
other trying occasions. The division, likewise, which
was to make the real attack, did not come up in se&
Icient time, and was there therefore surprised itself,
instead of being the assailant. The result was most
calamitous, as the greater part of them were either cut
to pieces, or taken prisoners, consisting, too, of
their best and most devoted troops. When we
calculate upon the remote effects of this unfor•
tunate affair, we are unable to fir any limits to our
1
apprehension, because it is likely to break the Greek
nation again into minute and factious sub-divisions, and
to exasperate them against the Europeans in their ser-
vice, to whose plans and interference they will proba-
bly ascribe this fatal turn in their affairs. At the same
'time, it will greatly weaken, if not wholly undermine,
the unlimited confidence, they were at first disposed to
place in Lord COCHRANE. Whilst they are thus in dan-
ger of relapsing into their former weakness and discord;
the enemy threatens to act with redoubled energy ; and
this year, which set in under such favourable auspices for
the Greeks, promises to see the end of their struggle and
of their existence as a nation, unless the European

Powers speedily interpose between them, and the eater-
rninating swords of the Turks and Arabs. They have
deliberated long enough on the subject; but if they
mean to act, they must do it promptly, as there is not
a moment to low.

Yesterday morning, at half-past seven o'clock, the Second Regi-
ment of Life Guards, under the command of Colonel Lvoon.l
marched from Knightsbridge barracks, to Wimbledon Common,
for the purpose of having a field day. The Regiment was put
thtough a great variety of fine evolutions by their gallant Colonel
after which they returned to their barracks, where they arrived
between two and three o'clock. The day wn remarkably fine, and
a concourse a/fashionable company was assembled on the Common,
who appearedgreatly to enjoy the scene.
Teo —Our yeomanry have been in quarters nearly a week,
and their presence has tended not a little to enliven and diversify
what some may call the still-life of a country town. They are a fine
body of men ; have mustered very strong this year, and,with a few
exceptions, are capitally mounted. Their behaviour has been ur.-
etceptionable ; but this was to be expected, and is only In accord.'
MCC with their former high character. Though changes are con-
stantly occurring In the corps, the bulk of the members are veteran
horsemen, and hence their great proficiency in the field as compared
with the shortness of the period they are embodied. In addition to
the usual drills and exercises, medals have been given this year to,
who excel in the sword exercise ; and a friend informs us that
t competition for these has been In the highest degree spirited and
cr table.' Today in to be what is called a crack occasion, end in
