OCT. 6.--By a letter from Frankfort of the Will or September, we are informed, that M. Manger, brother to the late Director of the Police, at Cassel, is reported in the latest accounts from that city, to have Committed suicide. He was at the head of the Administration of the Public Pawning Office. The •Conunamlant of the citadel of Erfurt has -been degraded from his military rank, and stripped of all his digeities, though the investigation of his case has not yet been concluded. An officer of the Danish navy, who commands a division of the Greek fleet, lately wrote to his :family a very detailed letter, front which a public journal gives the following extract " A person who is in such a situation as I am, to examine the state of things on the very theatres of event; cannot but be profoundly afflicted when he sees how little it would cost the Christian Powers to stop the effusion of Christian blood in these unhappy countries. lam sure that two ships of the line arid fOur frigate::, manned with European seamen, would destroy in a single battle all the fleets of the Sublime Sultan. The Greeks with such means would triumph with equal case, there is no doubt, over their barbarous enemies ; bin they have none but vessels that are too slight to hear the fire of the heavy artillery, however ill it may be directed. " The Turks are in all respects the most detestable seamen in the universe. The ignorance of their Captains of vessels is such, that they are often seem to make their pilots responsible fin the changes of the weather. These unfortunate men, mos of them Grecks, compelled to serve, are liable to be baste nadoed, if a sudden change of the wind forces the vessel to de. .viate ever so little from its course.  "The confusion which prevails on a tiny of battle is beyond •description. These stupid Illusselmen, to whom some Journals of Germany, and even of France, generously attribute chivalrous qualities, derive all their courage in the sight of the eueuty, from an immoderate use of opium. From the Captain to the meanest sailor or artillery-man, they are all drunk or rather infuriated. Provided they hear the cannormake a great noise, and see a thicksmoke, they are persuaded that all goes on well. "It is pretty much the same by land. In truth we may ob. serve, that out of twenty actions in a campaign, the Greeks will be conquerors in nineteen, though with interior forces. It is only necessary to fight in very close order, and to lire as near s possible. The barbarians will never make any impression On a well exercised battalion ; they will come to be slaughtered like brute beasts, that is their whole merit; their cavalry, which is so highly spoken of, has never ventured to make a single serious charge. " It is beyond all doubt that negociations have been several times entered into to obtain a squaclrdn from the United States in exchange for some island in the Archipelago, that might suit therm—The inexplicable manner in which the Europeon Powers abandon these unfortunate Christians, may lead to the conclusion of a treaty with an ambitious Republic in the New World, and the Cabinets will lament their fault when it is too late ; yet history, holds out to them great and salutary lessons."

In a few minutes after he was. perceived coming down stairs with his left. hind cut off at the wrist, and holding the bleeding stump with the right. Rurgical aid was instantly sent for, and it appeared that he had completely severed the hand from his arm, and had thrown it under the bed, where it was found. lie has remained insensible over since, and doubts arc entertained ofhis recovery in consequence of the great loss of blood he has sustained.— it appearsthat his mind had been much distracted by religious maters for some time before his rash resolution was fulfilled by " cutting off. the hand which had offended."—(Shreztabury Cbru:dicl,, Oct (3.)

The workmen have begun to Macadwthe the wide roadway from Charing-cross to Puglia,. -ment-street. Temporary fencing is raised half way over the street, from the Admiralty to the Aiorse Guards, thus preventing any interruption of this great thoroUghfare. The great- granite stones are broke into small pieces as fast as they are taken up, and thus, as rapidly as the way is A.leared, the materiels are ready for the cow, Imeacement of the Macadamising system. 4  °
