solved the i•ommission, and ordered all the persons
arrested to be set at liberty, on condition of their gir-
jag to the government at iante security fur their good
oendeetin future. Pietro Logotelli and Dione,io PlA-
titoessi are expected, from this measure, not to he
rrmitted to return to Zante till after the lapse of a

year.
threes INscuoicTtoN.—The two following articles
are from a Ministerial paper of last night, and are
conveyed in terms to intimate that they proceed from
good authority :
There has been much speculation as to the course
which Russia and Austria would pursue with respect
to the Greek insurrection against the Porte. We be-
lieve our readers may rely upon the folio sing state-
ment :—' At the first breaking out of the insurrection
it was generally supposed that these two powers would
adopt the saint line of conduct as they had in Naples
anti Piedmont. We nosy learn, however, that the two
Emperors have atone to the resolution of observing the
sirictest neutrality. Thev have, in consequence, de-
spatched instructions to all the local authorities of both
empires, on the frontiers, to prevent, as much as pos-
sil..e. all communication with the revolted districts,
and not allow any individuals of either kingdom to
pass the frontier without the assigning of some good
.ott. With regard to the military, the orders are
still more strict, the police being commanded to put
nutter immediate arrest any soldier or soldiers who
might attempt to pass the frontiers to join the revolu-
f.,a,isis, Whether ;his decision is the result of any ne-
gotiations with the Sublime Poi te, we are not informed.
I: is probable that such is the case. Declarations from
both the Emperors nn this subject will be published at
%%culla and St. Prtersburgh; "
" Extract of a hotel from Odessa, dated March 27 :
We think that we can state positively that the re-
p 4 which hare been intlustrinosly circulated in this
pLite, of disturbances having broken out at Constan-
ple, deserve no credit whatever. We have arrivals
is six days front that city, and instead of its being a
stette uf great anarchy and confusion, it appears that
Cnustantioople has seldom enjoyed greater tranqnillity,
and the disposition manifested by the Greek,
there to rebel has snbsided, on their learning that they
could get no support from our Emperor.'
'T, APRIL 15.—1 t is affirmed that the
V. n eror of Russia, who, as we before mentioned, has
e tpt (Ascii to the liratt.l Hoke of Hesse his satisfaction with
ne.leitreseittative runstitution which is now established
ish s dutuittiont, has lik-wise approved of the new con-
mina on which the Duke of Ohlenburgh has hail drawn
as fur his dominions. His Serene Highness had mo-
ulted his Imperial, Majesty on the basis of this Consti-
tation.
TJ gin an idea of the manner in which the present
poOtital situation of Earope, and of tierrnany in parti-
cular, is considered in our diplomatic holly, we quote the
copy of a report sent within these few days by a lega-
tion to its court. It is as follows :
Since the Neapolitans had shown a cowardice surpass-
ing every thing their adversaries dared to hope, things
Lave taken a very remarkable turn. The monarchical
Principle has obtained a victory so decisive that the
trews in Piedmont hare lost all their importance, and
tat fate of Italy is considered to he decided ; that the li-
berals of every description universally disappear; that
people cease to talk of constitutions ; finally that the only
tear now renteining is, that the solid advantages that
have been gained, almost without striking n blow, may
rut be wisely turned to an account. The moment is
twee when it is possible to give with a good grace, and
*Mutat being constrained to it, those institutions which
the voice of the age demands, and which may be granted
without injuring the royal power, as the exausples of
Wartemberg and Bavaria prove.
ARCTIC Exrentatios.—Captain Parry exports to
atil in a few days. In a letter to Dr. Rigby, of Not-
Ilia, of the 25th, he says, " we drop down the river
ea Prillay, and shall, probably, he at the Nore till the
4th or sth of May, and then make a fait start across
the Atlantic. Every thing belonging to our equip-
meat is as I could wish. I have nut a thing left un-

are, 1 believe, too generally formed of our complete
success."

prevent the supercession of the Vice Regal Power in
Ireland, in consequence of his Majesty's visit to this

An erroneous account of a late seizure of the Dun,
Bannon mail coach, in Armagh, having been inserted
in some of our contemporary journals, we are autho-
rised to lay the following statement of that singular
transaction before the public. On the 12th instant,
the driver of the coach was addressed, within a few
miles of Armagh, by a person who said be wanted a
seat as far as that city. The driver, as far as it was his
duty, complied with his wish,and took him up, with hi.
luggage, which consisted of two parcels. On the arrival
of the coach in Armagh, it was stopped by Mr. Brady, a
gauger, and a party of the military. In the confu-
sion which ensued, the passenger alluded to suddenly
made his escape. and Mr. Brady having commenced a
search, found in his parcels five rolls of tobacco ;
on which he immediately seised the co (cis and
horses and took them to the King's stoves, where
they still remain. When the seizure was made,
Mr. Leonard Dohnin, Surgeon Vogan, and other
respectable inhabitants of Armagh, aware of the
great inconvenience which the public might expe•
tience from the detention of hif Majesty's mail,
offered to give security to any amount, for the warn
of the coach and horses. This proposal was rejected,
and the post-mistress was necessitate(' to forward the
mail on horseback. Notwithstanding the untoward
circumstances mentioned above, and the unexpected
detection of their cattle, &c. the contractors for the
conveyance of the mail, attentive to the public in-
terest, have forwarded every subsequent snail in an-
other coach.—(4 ewry Telegraph.)

(P1i0311._,, Tnlt 111111ONTON nattat.n.)
On Monday afternoon, the Princess Aniasta and
Lady Mary Taylor, arrived at the Palace to dinner.
Her Royal Highness, who appears, in the hest health
and spirits, has taken airings in an open carriage.
several times in the course of the week. OnVetletes•
day, His Majesty accompanied his Royal Sister fur
two hours. A dinner and music party was given by
the King and the Princess, on Monday, at which were
present :
The Marchioness of Tacistock, the Marquis and
Marchioness of Lansdowne, Marchioness of Bath, &c.
A report is current, that His Majesty has given up
his intention of visiting Ireland : but we arc assarell
from authority that it is not correct.
On Thursday, a dinner party was given Ir; His Ma-
jesty, to which the following persoasys hail ttie honour
of being invited :
Marquis and Marchioness of Lans iotrne, the Earl
and Countess Cowper, the Countess of Mesboron.4, &e.
We regret to say that our beloved Sovereign takes his
..;ePartute, on Monday, from Brighton, which has been
so long cheered with his presence. The period of Isis
'Majestys return is, at present, uncertain. The Princess
Augusta and Lady Taylor leave the P dace this slay.
The weather has, during the week, ',eel' most sultry.
On Thursday, there was a violent storm of thunder and
lightning, which purified the air, and rendered it less
oppressive. We do not remember a year when the heat
has, in the month of April. been so great as at present.
Pcsausst.—Our Duivits exhibited a gay appearance
on Thursday, no less than 1,300 persons, many of
.a Isom were of the first class of fashionables, having
assembled to witness two faille. The first was between
Wren, the slyer, and the Portsmouth painter, for a
purse of 31. Fourteen rounds were fought, when the
painter, being unable from the punishment lie had re-
ceived, to come to the scratch. the dyer was proclaimed
the victor.—The second affair was between two coun-
trymen, the one a youth, anal the other somewhat ad-
vances' in years, for a purse of 4/. This fight lasted
one hour and rigid minutes, and produced 49 rounds,
when the veteran, by Isis superior strength and size,
at length succeeded in subduing the science :opt eon-
rage of his opponeit. Oar fashionable% seemed to
view with great pleasure these gymnastic exercises,
I
i sad freely iietted on the occasion.—A j•surneyman
taylor and bricklayer bad, on Monday, a sa•to on the
level, whirls ended in the discomfiture of the former,
by a broken arm.
PEUESTIIIANISU.—On Monday last, a young mar.
t named Brown, undertook to walk six miles in an
hour; which lie accomplished two minutes and forty
second. within the given time. Bets were four to one
against him. The spot allotted fur the task was a
mile on the turnpike-road near the mills, on the
Church-hill.
SHOCKING CI Itcr?.1!:T.0:41:.--.% must afflicting Of-
currence took place at E ist iVittering, in this county,
on blon•iay last. Mrs. Isle, of that place, who had been
in a desponding way for some time past, lint who had
that morning appeared more cheerful, and performed
her household affairs in a regular manner, went up
stairs into a room where her two daughters were ; ant)
with a sharp knife, which she bad secreted, attempted
the lives of her children, both of whom she despe-
rately wounded in several places. A woman in the
house, alarmed by the noise, bastened up stairs ; when
the unhappy maniac inflicted a wound upon herself;
but providentially not in a vital part. 'fliey are all
expected to recover.

As Mrs. Town, of the tiaorge Inn, Buckingha—
was returning front Croughton, on the evening of
Wednesday, the -ltli she was most brutally as-
saulted, between the Barley Mow Public-bone and
rininere, by a gang of ruffians, who almost stript
her, and left her to pursue her journey barefoot.
Their object was, no doubt, robbery, as they forced
off her pockets, and threw them into a ditch ; which a
labouring man, who was near, observing, he secured
them, and the next day restored them to the owner.
The latter was a most fortunate circumstance for her,
for they wcte found to contain upwaria of 1,90111. in
Batik of England notes, and different securities. The
ringleader being known, they immediately absconded ;
hut there is every reason to hope that they %ill not
long escape detection.
ATitoctots OCTRAGE.—On the night of Monday
last, the 16th instant, a most barbarous murder was
committed in the neighbourhood of Bannagher, in the
King's county. Between the haurs of twelve and one,
a body of villains, in number about thirty, most of
them armed with muskets and fixed bayonets, attacked
the house of a man of the name of Murphy. On their
shooting the dog outside the !loose, Murphy took the
alarm, and had scarcely pot on his clothes, when his
door was burst in, and fire or six fellows entered.
against whom. having seized a pitchfork, he defended
himself with desperate resolution. The villains hav-
ing retreated, had nat courage to enter into the house
a second time, but despatched three of their gang to a
short distance for fire, with which to burn the house
and inmates, consisting of Murphy, his sister (a wo-
man about forty years of age.) his aged blind mother,
and his nephew (a boy about ten years old.) The roof
being set on fire, blurphy's sister first endeavoured to
escape ; but, on her coming out, one of these savages
stabbed her in the eye with a bayonet, which pierced
through to the back of her head, whilst oho, beat
her about the face with the but ends of their muskets,
until a musket-shot through the heart, front the hand
of another, put an end to time period of her existence!
The house being in flames, and part of the roof having
fallen in, Murphy next rushed out, when he instantly
received a tuusket-ball in his bead, which traversed
the skull ; a second shot passed through his heart,
and lodged in a block of wood upon which he had
fallen. The next victim was the poor, old, bind mo-
ther, whom they carried to a deep hog-hole, in which
they threw her. (In departing, they struck the boy
with the hut-end of a musket in the mouth, by which
several of his teeth were knocked out ; they then
tired at him, and lodged several slugs in both his legs.
'Co onet L'Estrange, of Moystown, as soon as he wa,
ed of the outrage. repaired with a party of his
to the house, and afforded the unfortunate man,
olio was still surviving, every kind assistance, and
jkail him conveyed to the barrack at Bansgber, where
he now lies without hope of recovery. Nearly 12
menths"bgo the /louse of Mitrpny was attacked by a
body of ribaadreen, who demanded his fire•arms. The
assailants were repulsed, and-pally beaten Off which
is supposed to have been the cause of this dreadful out-
