St. Paul directs Timothy to " be all things to all Men," and Ministers imitate him.—ln Ireland the King declared himself " all Irish"—in Hanover, he said, he was " all Hanoverian"—and we hope now that he is returned to his native land, he will con vince us that he can be " all English." His Majesty arrived at Carlton Palace at six o'clock Thursday evening, in his private travelling chariot, attended by Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, and escorted by a party of Lancers. The carriage drove at a rapid pace through the Park, and entered the back gates to avoid any public inconvenience.— The King is said to look remarkably well, and is by no means so much exhausted as might have been anticipated, from the excessive fatigue he has un dergone, and the celerity of the Royal movements. His Majesty, we understand, arrived in the Roads off Ramsgate, during the night, and slept on board, Early Thursday morning he landed, and after taking some refreshment, left immediately for London.— The bells of St. James's and St. Martin's rang a merry peal during the evening, and the Park guns announced his arrival in the metropolis. The Duke of York and Marquess of Londonderry dined with his Majesty. The French papers of Wednesday are by no means without interest, but so diversified in the manner of conveying it, that we find ourselves constrained to allude to the points, instead of translating the articles. —ln reference to France itself the first thing we are called upon to notice is, the first Sittings of the two Chambers, which of course were occupied entirely with routine. The muster of Deputies is described, and it seems that the right side were the most nu merous, although several distinguished Liberals are mentioned by name. M. Benjamin Constant, who appeared supported by crutches, took his usual scat on the left. Some rather noisy discussions on points of form followed, but nothing very characteristic.— The Constitteionnel informs us that the schools for mutual instruction increase in the departments, and that the advantages are so conspicuous, they are unwillingly admitted, even by those who have hitherto opposed the system. NVe are told that the siii: manufactories of Lyons, which have been ex. ceedingly depressed, are becoming once more brisk :a consequence of numerous orders from America.— The death of Mr. W. Johnston, an eminent mer chant at Bourdeaux, is mentioned as having taken place on the 2d instant, to the infinite regret of many indigent finilies, whom he was known secretly to assist. We must not forget to observe that the Mtn: iteur contains a long Ordonnance regulating the duties on foreign wool and woollen cloth. In respect to the Grecian question, the most in• tcresting article in these papers is supplied by a private letter, dated Toulon, ‘29th ult., which men tions the arrival of the Bonite from Smyrna, from which she sailed on the Ist Oct. It commences by some just eulogy on the benefits produced by the THE NATIONAL REGISTER • French squadron in the Levant, which draws down blessings on " our august Monarch, whose flag flies only to succour the unhappy and protect the weak against the outrages of the strong." It then states that after a short cessation disturbances had recom menced at Smyrna, at the festival of the K urban Bairam. At this feast it is usual to sacrifice lambs, but in the present instance the Turks gave the pre ference to Greeks. There was, however, no general massacre, but a great number of particular assassina tions, to which the local authority supplied a very slight resistance, after the departure of the Captain Pucka. In this emergency the French vessels ' are again described as the honourable refuge of the unhappy Greeks. In speaking of the efforts of the French fleet to repress insults and pro tect general commerce from the disorderly attack to which it is liable in the present state of those seas, equal praise is given to the British and Austrian squadrons, and some instances are mentioned of their beneficial interference in the protection of each other's merchant vessels. The Greek fleet, at Hydra, is described as continuing to harms the Turkish vessels with fire ships, which although for present ably avoided, are likely to be effective, as the season obliges the latter to concentrate. The Greeks are said to have no less than 170 vessels in these seas, although but badly provided, and with little discipline among their crews. From Trieste we learn some reported advantages of the Turks, in a descent in the Bay of Coron, and the re-victualling of the fortress, after repulsing a vigorous attack from the Greek fortress. In other places they have had less success. The various rumours in respect to the diplomacy of the Great Powers are scarcely worth noticing , whilst things remain so ridiculously contradictory A letter from Vienna states that our Ambassador at• Constantinople strove to modify the demands of Russia upon the Porte : whereas Austria and Prus sia were of opinion that the Porte ought to accede to them. Hence, says this letter, the journey of Prince !Metternich to Hanover. If he succeed in his negociation " England will be obliged materially to relax in the policy which she has adopted towards the Greeks." The Lisbon Mail which arrived yesterday morning brings intelligence of a very important motion made in the Cortes for the abolition of the Order of the Knights of Malta, and of the application of the Revenues, after the death of the present holders of of the different benefices, to the reduction of the national debt. The extent of the burthen of these politico-ecclesiastical sinecures on the people of Portugal is little understood by the people of England. The revenues of the Commendarics, as they are generally called, which arc held by these Knights, consist in a portion of the gross produce of the soil, after the manner of tithes, but frequently consisting of much more than a tenth. The I'or tuguese were thus, under the range of some of these Commendaries, in as bad a situation as the people of Ireland, who pay a double tithe, one to the Pro testant clergyman or lay itnpropriator, the other to the Catholic Priest. A letter reocived in Edinburgh, from a gentle man attached to the Arctic land expedition, dated in April last, and written from Fort Enterprize.— Lake Winter, which is in the neighbourhood of the Coppermine River, and in the country occupied by the Copper Indians or Redknifes, states that the party had passed the winter at that place ; during which they enjoyed good health, though they had suffered some inconvenience from the cold, which was so intense even in the interior of their huts, as to freeze rum a very little below proof: The ther mometer suddenly fell to minus 57 degrees Fahren heit. The party intended to prosecute their journey in June; they have found, from the information of Indians, that the maps hitherto published are not to be depended upon, but Hearne's information to be tolerably accurate. One of the guides was a boy at the time of Hearne's journey, and accompa nied the party to sea. A RUSSIAN PRINCE A RRIVED.••••. There are more Russian Princes and Princesses in London than in Petersburgh. The birth cf another Russian Oil Prince took place un the 7th instant. kNOE, Nov. 9.

They are front the governme : t of Bombay, dated March 10, and April 9, I S2l, with enclosures; and relate to the successful opera. Lions of the expedition under Major-General Smith, in the Red Sea; against the Beni 800 AU Arabs.— This success, however was not obtained, we regret to add, without considerable loss. Captain Parr, of the Bombay European regiment, was killed in a night attack with the enemy ma de upon the force under Gen. Smith, on the 10th of February , while . . Lieut.-Col. Cox, commanding the left brigade, was dangerously, and Lieutenant Watkins and Burnet, of the Bombay European Regiment, were severely wounded. At the date of the despatches they were undoing well. The Ist battalion of the 7th Native Infantry sustained a very heavy loss in the decisive action of the 3d of March, and Assistant Surgeon Gown of the Ist battalion 7th regiment was killed. The following officers were wounded, Lieutenant Madden, 65th regiment, severely; Lieut. Cuppage, ditto, slightly; Ensign Malkin, same refit. slightly. Capt. Stewart, Ist battalion 7th regiment, severely, and Lieut. and Adjutant Thurnhum, of the same regiment, slightly ; the loss of the enemy was much more considerable. The piratical tribe of Beni 800 Ali is considered as effectually put down, while all our demands have been complied with, and the Bri tish factory of Mocha placed on that respectable footing on which it ought alone to stand. '1 !le Gazelle return of the loss in the night attack of the 10th of Feb. of non-commissioned officers and pr i- Yates, is 16 killed and 23 wounded. In the affair of the 2d of March, 28 killed and 168 wounded. . _ A gentleman in the neighbourhood of Perth who - has made various excursions through the most inter esting parts of Europe and Asia, was lately in Con stantinople, where he was more than once exim.c.l to the outrages and insults of the populace. Having applied to Mr. Salt, our Consul, for protection, he gave him in charge to a Musselman in the service. of the Sublime Porte, under whose guardianship he visited every accessible object of interest in that wonderful city. He was surprised, on a very short acquaintance, to find that his companion spoke t'.e English language fluently. On questioning hint he was informed to his no small amazement, that he was a native of Scotland ; and that he was born and spent his youth in Luncarty Bleach field, in the neighbourhood of Perth; that :la had a scuttle with another young man there, w:.,• , e lite was in consequence despaired of, and, drea,laig the punishment of the law, he had fled from jaa. native place, and taken refuge in a vessel bound far the Mediterranean. This vessel wa*captured, the prisoners carried to Constantinople, %here he was for some time in the service of an apothecary, who employed him to sell drugs thrcugh the city,. allowing hint a very small pittance from the r.ats he thus collected. He afterwards applied to Mr. Salt, who kindly assisted him with money, sufficient to commence business as an apothecary on his own account, and he had been so successful that he soon repaid the borrowed money, and was now in very comfortable Circumstances. This anecdote with remind our readers of the story of our ambassador, who, ;I arranging a treaty with the Grand Vizier, found considerable difficulty in coming to an tinder standing by means of an interpreter, until the Vizier ordering the interpreter and all the by-standera to the door, saluted the Ambassador with, " Fu' !ang free Aberdeen, man ;" and the business was cen eluded between the countrymen in a trice. It is supposed that some thousand tubs of Geneva have been smuggled into Sunderland and its imme'- diate neighbourhood within these few days. About midnight on Sunday last, the captain of the watch meeting two carts at that unusual hour, traced them to an out-house behind the Cottage tavern, Headon, where, with the necessary assistance, he titund aad secured 411 tubs. Near 50 more tare discovered on Monday morning in an old hulk near Deptterd glass-house, and immediately appropriated by the ..:lass -men. Many partial seizures have been ina.!* both by the Customs and the Excise, but so gen.:rat has been the distribution, that individuals, both :.tale and female, are constantly to be seen either,cha i ,ing to the w ails in the streets, or holding by the grass on the moor. The drivers, who were also the a .vn ers of the carts, have been committed to gaol. It is rumoured that Mr. Sergeant Onsluw aid succeed one of the Judges resigned, in which c v;:at there will be a vacancy in the repres.attatien of Guildford, and the office of llocortkr fur that bo.s rough: A detachment of the Rival Artillery, ami a ; which Major Munro's company is named, is orders to embark for the Mauritius.
