Hydra, and the executive, the President of which is Pe-
tro blanrocordoto, formerly Prince of Maine. The go-
vernment has already issued many ordinances; it has
also addressed a proclamation to the European nations,
in which it returns thanks for the assistance which in-
dividual friends of humanity have hitherto afforded to the
cause of the Greeks.

Paris papers to the 26th, have reached us, since our
last. With the exception of a Telegraphic Despatch,
which asserts that some trifling advantages lead been
gained over the rear-guard of Ballasteros in his retreat
towards Grenada ; they chiefly consist of Reports from
Marshal Moncey, who has returned to his old head-
quarters at Gerona, and who for the third or fourth time
described the late operations of Mina and his pursuers,
and the successes said to have been gained over that
indefatigable and skilful commander. He is said to
have been again overtaken by the Baron d'Eroles,
and after an obstinate combat, to have been forced
to continue his retreat, with the loss of several
hundred men, whilst th.• enemy, as usual, hai
only 30 soldiers put °44 ,re de combat!" His
final arrival at the Sen d'llrgel, is, however, once more
stated to have taken place, and it is added that d'Erotes
was to commence the blockade of that fortress, in the
hope., no doubt, of being able to keep Mina within its
walls, or of ultimately starving him into a surrender ; a
hope which we entertain no great apprehension of seeing
cver realized.
These Papers contain no intelligence whatever from Poe-
togas. The Journal des Debate publishes a letter from
Trieste, dune 11, which announces that the cause of Greece
continued m triumph. The castle and town of Lepanto
are said to here been taken by the Greeks; and one of the
strongest fortsin the whole country, Negroponte, is also re-
presented as having surrendered to their arms. Colcotrine
had acknowledged the central Government, and every thing
was harmoniously settled in the Mores.

sleep at Circa. It appears that he was attended by no
more than three Grandees of Spain; the Marquess of
Santa Cruz, the Duke of Nijar, and General Palafox.
The departure from Seville, it is said, took place so pre
cipitately that the Cortes have left some millions in mo-
ney, a great deal of silver plate, and a part of the artil-
lery of their troops. The greater number of the Conn-
' oillors of State have remained at Seville, as well as thirty
of the Deputies, and from two or three hundred officers
General Bordesoult, instead of entering Seville, which
is at some distance from the high road to Cadiz, is pre-
paring to march rapidly to Port St. Mary's, in order to
overtake, if possible, the rear guard of General Zayas.—
lie has directed General Boarmont to occupy Seville, and
then to join him near the Bay of Cadiz.
The illoniteur of Thursday, contains a bulletin of the
Army, which repeats the statement of Bordesonit's in-
tended march and Buurinont's future junction with him
at Cadia.

STOCK EXCHANGE, 12 O'CLOCK.—Cmisols opened this I
morning at 89, and went up to S 9 4. The improvement is
attributed to acrounts in town that the Cortes have offered
to negociare with the French Government, provided their
persons and property are secure. Upon these events, the
Stodc gXcliange states that they will give up the King.
Private letters Troia Paris of Thursday morning., state
that they are still in the dark. Concerning the tdrairs

OLD BAILEY-(Tau Mosixtmo.)

before Mr. /ostlers BunnOVOnS.
ARSON.
John Gotti, aged 3S, was put to the bar on an indictment,
charging him with wilfully and maliciously setting fire to a
certain dwelling-house, in the parish of St. Luke, Old-street.
with intent to injure and defraud George Penton Carr. The
Prisoner is also detained for a like offence, alleged to have
been committed in the parish of St. Martin's in the Fields.
As soon as Gotti entered the dock the eyes of all persons in
Court were fixed upon him. He approached the bar with a
trembling step. His cheek was pallid, and his eye suspi-
cious. and diiected with fearful anxiety towards tire Court
and Jury.
An affidavit was put in signed by a person named
Knight who stated that he saw Mr. George Panton Carr
,last night at Edmonton, and who was extremely ill and
incapable of attending.
A certificate from a Medical Gentleman named Ham-
mond, was also annexed, declaring Mr. Carr to be unable
to leave his house: After a few observations from
Messrs. Rolland and Law, the cause was postponed for
a few hours, the Court directing some person to take a
post chaise and either to return with Mr. Carr, or bring
some further testified intelligence concerning im.
William Reynolds, (aged 17), was indicted for steal-
ing seven silver spoons, two gold rings, and divers other
articles, the property of Helena Ireland, in the dwelling
house. It appearing, in the course of the cross-examina-
tion by Mr. PHILLIPS, that the indictment was wrongly
charged, as being the property of Helen, instead of He-
len Christiana Ireland, the Jury were directed by the
Learned Judge to scquit the prisoner. The Prosecutrix
on hearing this, burst into tears, and was carried out of
Court, in strong. hysterics. The mother of the prosecu-
trig was also on Court and exclaimed loudly of the
hardship of the case, of her daughter being compelled
in to n lose her propertvconsequence of the informality
the indictment. The Learned Judge informed her that
her property would be restored to her, and desired the
pawnbroker in attendance to give them up immediately.
She, however, continued in the witness box, imploring
his Lordship to restore her daughter her property, and it
was some time before the officers could make her under-
stand the nature of his Lordship's order. She then left
the Court to join her daughter, whose yells in the yard
resounded through the Court, and hastened the mother's
departure. The Learned Judge informed the prisoner
that he had had a narrow escape, and advised him to take
care of himself.
Maria Watson and Hannah Hutchins, were capitally
indicted for stealing in the dwelling house of Miles Met-
calf, a Linen draper in Holborn, a piece of poplin, value
40s. his property. Hutchins was found guilty and Wat-
son was acquitted.
John Guttridge was indicted fur stealing on the road
to Edmonton a bundle containing 12 Brooms, the pro-
perty of John Clayton, a waggoner.—The prosecutor
was called to by a Patrols, and asked if Ire had lost any
any brooms—upon examining his team he discovered
that one of the bundles had been taken away.
The prisoner was observed about thirty yards
behind the waggon with • the brooms on his
shoulder, and given in Custody to the Offi-
cer. Prisoner in ha defence stated, that he bad been
to Edmonton to see his brother, and got very !ashy.—
When near the waggon he saw the //marl/ lying o n the
tetrad, which he dragged as well as lie was able towards
he waggon, but before he could reach it, he was given in
Custody to the constable, and charged with stealing them.
The Jury acquitted him.
At one o'clok, the messenger, who was sent to Edmonton
to ascertain the state of Mr. Carr's health, returned, and
Gone was immediately placed at the bar. The Counsel for
the prosecution were Messrs. BOLLAND, ANDREWS, and
M.thsnssm ; for the defence Messrs. ADOLPHUS and Lira.—
The re were twenty-eight witnesses to examine, and the trial
was expected to last the whole day.—lt was proceeding when
our paper went to press.

sEA, JUNE 23. —about two months since, St. Oeorge's
chapel was broken into and robbed of several articles.
and 1^ guineas in cash ; and a light was left burning in ;
the Chapel, no doubt to destroy the place, in order to
conceal the robbery ; it was however luckily discovered
time enough, to prevent mischief. Two men were taken
up and sent to prison, on suspicion ; but, it appears, they
were entirely innocent. The Mother Church in Ports-
mouth, about six weeks ago, was also broken into and I
robbed, and although, On troth occasions, large rewards
were offered ; for the apprehension of the delinquents,
until within these two days, no trace of them had been
discovered. A Mr. Levi in Queen-street, Portsea,
most respectable Grocer and Merchant, and a Mr. Webb
of the same description, in High-street, Purists, were
laid under contribution by the same party, one gang. Two
of the principals are taken., and strange and lamentable to
say, they are little better then great hors. They were
yesterday brought np to the Bee of the Aessions House
and had an examination before Mr. llosard, the worthy
Mayor, Sir Samuel Spicer, and Messrs. Carter, the Sitting
Magistrates. It appeared that the lads are both natives
of this place, and first cousins. The principal setae in
these robberies is named Chick, and his cousin, Sims ;
who has turned King's evidence. The greater part of
his deposition rested on the confession Chick wade to
him ; as he only was concerned with him in robbing
Portsmouth Church; but that appeared conclusive. Chick
entered Mr. Levi's House, with whom he had formerly lived
servant, in the night, and managed among other things
to help himself to is watches. Early in the morning he
let himself oat at the street door; but seeing a marine
pass, who he thought seemed to notice the fulness of his
pockets, he was so frightened, that for fear of detection,
he threw the watches down among the logs on the
Hard, at what particular spot he did not say; but if found
now, of course, after laving so long among the mud and
water, they would be of no service. lie acknowledged
that 12 guineas were taken front St. George's Chapel;
but that he did not take them. Sims protested that Chick
euticed him to the robbery at Portsmouth church. They
got in at a window, the compartments of which are so
small, and so well fasteseds that they were obliged to
get in almost in a state ul nudity; however, when- they
were in, they dressed again, and let themselves coin-
fortibly out at the church door. They got little there ;
but took two bottles of sacramental wine, which they
were audacious enough to drink in the market place,
which is close by the church. It was the intention of
Chick to destroy this sacred building, as well as that at
Portsea, but Sims said lie put the tire out with his foot.
The suspicion fell on Sims, from a person seeing him
lurking about soon after Mr. Webb's robbery; and on
being taken into custody, he instantly confessed, and
impeached Chick, who was soon after taken. Atter
Sims gave his evidence, Upon being asked by the. Magis-
trate, if he had any thing to say for himself, he scarcely
said," Nothing." It the great Lavater bad seen these
youths before he wrote his book on Physiognomy, he
would saved himself much trouble; for if the countenance
be an index of the mind, these young rogues (the one
only 17, the oUier lst,) would be as innocent as children
yet unborn—so artless is their appearance. They were
fully committed to Winchester to take their trial at the
next assizes. Chick has been well brought np, and was
a member of a Mr. Miall's meeting-linose, which lie also
confessed to have broken into and robbed some months
ago of a few shillings,
