LTIIL: TIMP3.J The Etvele, dated Sunday, and the other Paris Journals of Saturday, have brought a rumour of a signal advantage obtained by the Greeks, on the truth of ►chich, however, we are sorry no reliance can be placed. It is stated, on the authority of letters from Constantinople, received -at 'Vienna by the way of 'Odessa, 'that twentylive sail of itydriot and Spezziot ships appeared off Ipsara soon after the Turkish troops had landed, and attacked and destoyed the Captain Paella's fleet. The same story has reached us through the Dutch papers, but still with a reference to letters from Odessa, which isnot the most credible source for such intelligence. The Azigii. burgh Gazette, from which both the French and Dutch seem to have copied their accounts, judi‘' lously observes, that it will be prudent to await the confirmation of this report, as it may have been disseminated to console the Greeks and their friends for the disastrous catastrophe of ipsara. It is said that the King of Prussia has resolved to appoint his brother, Prince William, Governor-General of the Prussian provinces on the Rhine, and that Coblentz is to be the seat of the Provincial Government. It is to be hoped that this arrangement will give more satisfaction to the governed than the people of Italy have derived from the Austrian Viceroyships, of which it is an imitation. The Co7lBii. tutionnel extracts from a French Ministerial paper the► following remarkable paragraph : " As to the affairs of the Peninsula, their disorder is anterior to the present organization. The last Minister for Foreign Affairs has left to his successot only evils to be repaired in our foreign policy, end more particularly in Spain." The closing mice of the Funds on Saturday was, lolf. sc. for money, and 101 f. Vic. to 30c. for the cud of the month.  boRNING IlinAL,D.i aturilay's Paris Papers arrived last night. They mention some successes obtained by the Greeks on the Continent ; but with little autho. rity,beyond vague .rumour—probably set going as a counterpoise to the calamitous affair of Ipsara.—A very singular discovery was recently made in the Grand Duchy of Hesse ; details of which are occasionally extracted from the German Journals ; the affair was simply this— ft may be recollected, that some months since it was announced that a plot had been formed—in llstlth, many plots—to assassinate the Grand, Duke. The Consequence was, that the Prince dreaded leaving his apartMents ; never went agroad without a guard, and could not be approaChed .but by his Minister of Police. .-..Several persons were thrown into solitary dungeons, and many, despairing of obtain. ing justice, hemmed in as the Prince was, released therfiselves.by suicide. The whole duchy was in a state of suspicion and terror, the more alarming that no.motive was assigned for the supposed de. sigas of ,the assassins. At length the truth came out in a most revolting discovery. The Director of Folic° himself—a Boron Manger, was the contriver of all the plots, the. accusations, imprisonments, and deaths, as the means of o l,taining otpney for " Aecret service," w hich, its fart, he . wasted •in the prodigality of his: private expences.—Justice has .at length real4ed fre has been tried, condemns*, publicly exposed on the pillory, and dreo .of a common cortyl,ct,,.to the rt .forass of -iipagewherg, there to he ittcArcerated. -741, was with difficulty that an escort of gens. • dilTnei,fornterly the, instruments of his elseinble tltitony, could protect, hire on his way from the "o!geence of:the peasants and ;villagers, general 'lO inured and terror excifrd. by his,Octs as 'l4/nister ref Police.
