REJOICINGS LV TILE COUNTRY.
FORT REGENT-JERSEY.

Amongst the various demonstrations of loyalty and
devoted attachment to our beloved Sovereign, GEORGE
the FOURTH, which the recent auspicious solemnity
of his MAJESTY'S Coronation has so universally pro-
duced, iL becomes one of our most pleasing duties to
notice the magnificent entertainment at Fort Regent,
given on the memorable occasion, by the Officers of
the 12th Regiment of Foot. Since the arrival of this
distinguished old Regiment on the Island, we have
had many opportunities of observing how much the
exemplary conduct of the men has contributed to our
comfort and happiness, while the gentlemanly qua-
lities of the Officers could not fail to render them
objects of just attraction in that society on which
their polished manners and acquirements reflected so
much additional lustre. The splendid Fete we allude
to was arranged and conducted in such a manner as
snore than fulfilled the expectations which were na-
turally excited, by our previous knowledge of the re-
fined and elegant taste of the gallant hosts. To enter
into a minute description of the exquisite specimens
of taste and fancy which were display ed on this in-
teresting occasion, would far exceed our limits ; we
eau, therefore, only say, that the tout ensemble was
such as to present the appearance of enchantment,
more than the delightful reality which existed. One
of the large Mess-rooms of the Fort having been ap-
propriated to the Ball, was bitted up and decorated
in a style of elegance, which surpassed anything of
the kind we have ever seen : devices, composed of
variegated lamps, &c. emblematical of the glorious
object of celebration, eierywhere met the eye of the
enraptured guests ; while a profusion of laurels, and
other evergreens, were made to encircle a beautiful
collection of transparencies, representing the many
brilliant victories, in various quarters of the globe, in
which the 12th Regiment bore so conspicuous a part.
The design and execution of those representations re-
flect the highest credit on one of the Officers of the,

Corps, whose skill and taste in this beautiful species
of ornament, is well known and appreciated.
The company, which consisted of all the rank and
fashion resident on the island, in addition to the many
distinguished families and individuals who at this
delicious season visit our picturesque scenery, amount-
ing in all to upwards of 200 persons, were assembled
and received by the Officers at about nine o'clock,
when the Ball was opened with an English country
dance. Afterwards that beautiful 'movement, the
quadrille, so eminently calculated to display to just
advantage the angelic forms of our fair Islanders,
assumed its wonted sway, and continued with little
intermission until one, when a signal from the musi-
cians caused the company to proceed to the tents in
the Barrack-square, in which supper was prepared.'
We need scarcely observe, that the banquet was corn-'
posed, of every delicacy which the season affords, or
could be procured from the, mother-country and the
neighbouring French coast, and was served up in a
style of elegant hospitality. The appropriate toasts
proposed from the Chair, were of course preceded by
" the health of our most gracious Sovereign King
GEORGE the Fourth," with a suitable Address, fully
embracing the ardent sentiments of love and attach-
ment for his MAJESTY'S sacred person and Govern-
ment which animated the bosom of every individual
of this delightful assembly. Dancing was soon after
resumed, and continued with the greatest spirit until
the following day was well advanced, when the com-
pany, with visible reluctance, separated, deeply im-
pressed with the elegance of the entertainment, and
with sentiments of the most enthusiastic admiration
of the memorable and glorious event which they
were invited to celebrate.
LEOMINSTER, JULY 31.

At Leominster, the day of the Coronation was ce-
lehrated with every mark of respect. The Corpora-
Lion and many inhabitants dined at the King's Arms,
the Chief Magistrate in the Chair. During the after-
noon several appropriate toasts were given, with con-'
gratulatory sentiments expressing attachment to our
crowned Sovereign, &c. and a variety of songs, which
contributed not a little to promote the general hila-
lity. The day closed with a grand display of fire-
works, and a masked ball, the characters in which
were well sustained. Thii auspicious day will long
be remembered by the inhabitants, and recounted by
their children, to their children's children.

TOMKINS'S PICTURE LOTTERY, TO-MORROW—
A RED AND A BLACK Ticg.ET 3s. EACH),
ARE SURE OF A PRIZE!

The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived this forenoon.
The Constitu:io,:!:e! contains the following extract
of a private letter from Smyrna, dated 19th June,
two days later than the accounts from that place
which we yesterday extracted from the Monitcur :
" Within these four days past the European Con-
suls and Agents, who have taken refuge on board
the vessels in the roads, have seen their houses and
stores sacked by the Turkish populace, joined to the
Janizaries. This un.lisciplined race, after killing
their Lieutenant-General, who opposed himself to
their fury, used such force with the Paella of Cesarea,
that he was obliged to allow them to do as they
pleased. Thus in a few days the first sea-port of the
Levant, the opulent Smyrna, its magazines, its
riches, and its prosperity, have disappeared.
" All that was Christian, Armenian, or Frank, is
exterminated ; the Catholic and orthodox churches
are a prey to the fury of an unbridled people, ex-
cited by a thirst of plunder and by fanaticism. I

reckon at about 12,000 the number of Christians of
all ages, and of both sexes, who have fallen under
the poigniards of the Maltometans, who no longer con-
ceal their design of extirpating Christianity, and
transforming their empire into another ancientTatu ida,
where Europeans shall be as little admitted as in Ja-
pan. The city of Sidonia, which the Turks call Iva-
dia, and in which there are about 30,000 Christians,
has been set fire to by the Tusks, who have put to
the sword all the inhabitants capable of bearing arms,
and carried into slavery in the interior the women
and children. The Colleges, the Churches, the In-
firmary, the Public Library, the whole of this flourish-
ing city, exists no more l"
The disastrous intelligence contained in this letter
is confirmed by a Vienna article of the 12th of June,
in which it is stated, that, " according to letters from
Smyrna, dated the 17th of June, the troops of Asia'
had forced their entrance into the town, and killed
the Governor, the Cadi, and the Mollah, who en-
deavoured to keep them out. They afterwards pil-
laged and assassinated all the Christians who had
not taken refuge on board the European ships."
The accounts from Constantinople come down tol
the 24th of June. They are also of a most afflicting
description. The losses at sea had still further exas-
perated the SULTAN and the populace; the houses of
the Greeks were all given up to be pillaged; and
the Jews served as spies and guides to the populace.
The women and children had either been assassi-
nated or carried off as slaves. The Greeks, natives
of the Morea, were first given up to the people ; 300,
who survived the massacre, were sold at from 20 to
25 piastres, with the condition that the purchasers
should transport them into Asia.
A letter given in the Courier Franpais, dated Con•
• stantinople, June 22, adds, " The fury of the Mussul-
mans of this Capital having preyed for upwards o .

three months upon the unfortunate Greeks, and being
almost exhausted by a series of massacres, Legins to
be directed against the most wealthy Armenian
Christians. This people, deriving its origin from
Asia, exasperates the Turks still more by a similarity
of dress and language : the Armenian language is
used only in the Churches. These persecuted Arme-
nian Christians, jointly with the Greeks, compose al
population estimated at 200,000 persons ; being dis-
armed like them, thq are likely to become the vic-
tims of the same cruelty, and Constantinople will
soon lose half its population."
The Russian Ambassador, Srnocoxarr, was still at
Bujukdere, and strictly watched. He is neither per-
mitted to send nor to receive letters. He had suc-
ceeded in embarking his family for Odessa, but the
populace insulted them test grossly during their
embarkation ; they even fired upon the ship. Some
Greek families had also escaped.

The Emperor ALEXANDER has, it appears, not only
permitted the Greek Patriarch, who had been exe-
cuted at Constantinople by order of the SULTAN, to
.be buried at Odessa, but has honoured his remains
with a solemn funeral ceremony. Numbers of the
Clergy, from various Russian Governments, assem-
bled at Odessa to attend on this occasion ; and Rus-
sian soldiers, to the amount of eight thousand, under
the command of Count LA NCERON, lined the avenues
through which the procession passed. A still more
useful mark of benevolence towards the Greeks, on
the part of his IMPERIAL MAJESTY, was a remittance
of 100,000 roubles, to be distributed among the poor
fugitives from the Turkish capital, who crowded the
streets of Odessa.

According to letters received in Vienna from Sem.

lin, of the 3:1 ult. the posts from Seres and Salonica
had been interrupted for twelve days. As the incur•
rcction of the Greeks had spread to Pharsalia and
Larissa, it was suspected that troubles had also broken
out in Salonica. A courier arrived at Belgrade the
'AI of July, brought intelligence that HASSEM PACIIA,
who fought ALI PACIIA, of Joannina, was in full re-
treat towards Macedonia.

TILE NORTHERN EXPEDITION.

We have been favoured with the following interest-
ing extract of a letter from one of the Gentlemen
employed on the Northern Expedition :

" His Majesty's ship Fury, liu.lson's Bay, the
Coast of America, June eo, 1821.

" I take the opportunity of writing you, by the re-
turn of the Nautilus transport, which accompanied
us to carry our heavy stores. We have had an ex-
cellent passage from the Orkneys to this part of the
world ; the weather, however, since we have been
here, has not been so favourable.
aWe have made two attempts to unload the 1
transport, having made fast to icebergs for that
purpose, but have been blown off successively by
heavy gales, with the loss of some of our boats from
the deck, and no small share of tribulation for the
transport, which has not been properly fortified for
the ice. She has come off, however, very well, con-
sidering everything, having only lost the copper from
her bows. We are now taking advantage of a fine
day, and hope to get rid of her in
,a day or two,
and to proceed upon our destination.
" We made an island about a week ago, called
Resolution Island, where we expected to see some
Indians, but there was so much ice between the ships
and the land, that we could not get in.
a I can hardly give you an idea of our intended
route, or, more properly, of our ideal route; first, be-
cause our course must, in a great measure, depend
upon the state of the ice; secondly, for want of a
chart ; for those in common use are so incorrect in
the general outline of the coast, as to be perfectly
useless. If, however, you should fall in with a good
map of the country, I will tell you the track we shall
endeavour to take.

" After making Cape Farewell, the southern ex-
tremity of Greenland, in lat. 59. N. and long. 44.
W. we proceeded nearly due west between Cape
Chidley, on the Labrador Coast, and Resolution
Island, in lat. 61. 40. N. and long. 63. W. where we
now are; from hence we intend to steer, if wind and
ice will permit, about a North-west course, and en-
deavour to explore an inlet to the East of Repulse
Bay, which has never yet been entered by any one
but Fox, about 150 years ago ; thence we shall pro-
ceed to Hearne's Sea, where we shall winter (if we get
there) ; then to Mackenzie's Sea, Bchring's Straits, &c.
" All the Officers are exceedingly agmable, and
I have but little doubt we shall spend the winter very
comfortably together. We are all preparing our
rifles for shooting deer, with which these islands
abound. We are, however, exceedingly well off in
the eating way—plenty of fresh beef, mutton, pork
eggs, fish, and poultry on board, besides sheep, pigs:
and 22 fine bullocks, on board the transport, and
potted meats and soups of all kinds for more than
three years, so that our salt provisions we scarcely
need taste the whole voyage, unless we choose.
" The mean temperature where we now are is
about 35° Fahrenheit, the sun just skimming below
the horizon at this time at midnight, so that we have
constant day, which you may conceive is a great
comfort in navigation amongst ice. An apparatus was
yesterday let down to the depth of 500 fathoms, for
bringing up water: its temperature by a registering
thermometer was 10y degrees Fahrenheit; that at

the surface Leing 96 degrees. The specific gravit7,: t
the same depth, was 1.0278, and at the surface,
1.0260. Our position, as determined astronomical)v
is always to the north-west of our dead reckonin,!
from which it appears, that there is a cr./nee:ft cur-
rent setting from the north-west to south-east:

DREADFUL FIRE AT B.4RBADOES.

" Barbadoes, June ii, 1821.

" We are sorry to announce the intelligence of a
most dreadful fire, which took place at Bridge
Town, Barbadoes, June 10th, and which is supposed
to have originated through the carelessness of a
baker; the conflagration soon spread in all direc.
tions, with the most alarming rapidity, and the
town presented a scene of confusion and dismay which
no pencil can depict. A strong south-east wind added
to the fury of the flames. The inhabitants were per.
fectly aware of the necessity of immediate exertion;
nevertheless, so great was their amazment, that
they were unable to render the least assistance,
until the arrival of the 4th (or King's Own) Regi-
ment of Foot, who, with the utmost al.icritv and
sangfroid, threw aside their arms and accoutranent,
rushed into the flames, and at the hazard of their

lives, saved many individuals from the devourin,
element; and at the same time prescrve', much valu-
able property, which would otherwise have been de-
, stro(ed or plundered.
In fact, the exertions of the 06.1cers and men
were beyond all praise, and will leave a lasting im-
pression on the inhabitants of 'his Island. We lave
not yet been able to ascertain the amount of the pro-
perty destroyed, but it must be very considerable, as
upwards of sixty houses were consumed.

.‘ We are much indebted to General Manwar'
for his exertions, and the prompt assistance affordeti
by the Garrison, but for which the greater part of
the town must have been burned."
