response from their right honorable guest
he was as dumb as ever. The well meant
compliment, the unequivOcal appeal, the IN
disguised invitation. produced no effect he
was as mute as at first he surveyed his cap

stained table, as the hermit did on the turf;
but no reply was extOFted from him. He re-
manned insensble-the whisper went round
aud the cOuntenaDces of his friends fell. The
hilarity of the evening was dispelled, and
it was terminated in gloom and disappOint-

The Portuguese exiIes in England have

Portugal was hers.
1t is said that some of the advisers of the
Queen of Portugal. or Duchess of Oporto,
wish that she should be removed to Vienna !;
but that the Marquis of Barbacene, under
whose care she is, thinks her caLse would be
better promoted by keeping her in London.
We think the Marquis is under mistake if

deep interest in her affairs. She will not be

The Turks aud Egyptians evacuated the
fort of Navarino. The Egyptians are embar-
| king to return to Alexandria. The camp
which was near Modon is also embarking.-
| Ibrahim Pacha will not embark till the sec
, ond Egyptian expedition sails meantime he
will occupy Modon and CorOn. These two
places will be delivered up to the French af-
ter his departure. Gen. Maison, wishing to
occupy Coron Immediately, had invested the
place. Ibrahim gave notice to the Admrals
that if single musket shot were fred, and if
the troops made the smallest movement, all
the conventions should be broken, and that
he would not be forced from the Morea
while he was alive. The Admirals immedi-
ately sent to request Gen. Mason to cause
the troops to retire, and they have returned
to Calamata. English. French, Russian and
Greek vessels are entering the bay of Calama-
ia to land the Ambassadors of the Three
Powers, and Capo d'Istria, President of
Greece.
| p. S.-The Ambassadors have landed at
the head quarters of Gen. Maison. There
has been a conference between them, the
Admrals, and Count Capo d'Istria. The
Egyptians are embarking amidst the thunder
the cannon of all the fleets, which salute
the Ambassadors of the Allied Powers, and
through the smoke we see the Greek colours
hoisted in the room of the red flag of the
Egyptians.
The Charleston Southern Patriot is in
mourning for the loss of Major General Tho
mas Pinckney, president of the Cincinnati So
ciety. who died on the Cd inst. aged 20, after
a painful illness of some months. He. was a
Rev dictionary patriot of considerable efficen-
cy and reputation; represented his country a
broad, as minister plenipOtentiary at London
and Madrid, with signal credit held con-
spicuous station among the accomplished
scholars and thorough bred gentlemen Of his
time. and maintained the purest character in
social and domestic life. The two brothers,
Charles and Thomas, have rendered the name
OF Pinckney, we might say national and il
!ustrious, BY their publick and private merits.

| Daring Robbery.-On Tuesday night, three
OF the western stages were plundered of their
baggage, on the Schenectady turnpike, about
| three miles from this city. The robbers did
not cut. but deliberately unbuckled the straps
OF the boot which contained the trunks of the
passengers. broke them open. but very fortu-
| nately. there was little or no money in them.
One of the trunks containing sixty dollars, the
little all of an industrious young man. is mis-
sing. This is not the first nor second robbie
ry which has taken place at about this spot
within few years We fear there is knot
of desperadoes lurking about our city. The
proper authorities are on the alert, and every
good citizen we hope will lend helping hand
in bringing to justice these midnight robbers.
