172 posaartg- LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 27• Three o'clock, p.m, The Paris papers of Thursday last contain some favouruble acconnts of the progress of the Greek patriots. The bishop of Achaia, in an address, dated Calvary ta, July '2, announces, that the whole of Pele ponuesus is in the possession of the Greeks, so that the colours of the Cross float in nearly 1000 villages, which have been liberated from the yoke of the Turks. The intelligence of the defeat of the Ot toman fleet is confirmed in letters from Cephalonia of the 19th ult. and it is addA, that an insurrec tion had broken out in Cyprus, in which the patriots had a decided advantage. Accounts from Odessa st,tte, that the Divan was disposed to accept the mediation of Austria and England, and to give Rwsia the satisfaction required; but it was doubted it the Grand Seignior could succeed in inducing the insuborainate Asiatic hordes to return to their ter ritory without the expected spoil, or bring the in habitants of the Porte to witness patiently the re-construction of the Christian churches which the ferocious infidels had dilapidated in their blind and intitriated Zeal in support of the Crescent. It is asserted that the troops of Russia, eantoned on the Dwina, have broken up for die southern frontiers. Naples continues in a wretched state, and, as is usual in every change in that country, the proscriptions are numerous, and many have been selected as the victims no doubt of private jealousy and dark in trigue. A resolation has been taken to exile number of perouns, charged with taking a more or )ess distinguished part in the revolution : a revolu tion, however, that was suppressed by a fizeign power, contrary to the law of nations, and which seems to be followed up with the most unjustifiable perseverance and persecution. The list will, it is said, extend to about 90 persons, including Puerio, Boreili, Areovito, Petronelli, eve. Liberty will be given them to reside in Austria, Prussia, or Russia. There has been an affray at Dantzie between the Jews and Christians, which was not terminated without bloodshed. Extracts have been published in the Ma drid papers from the proceedings instituted against the authors of the massacres in Cadiz, on the fatal 10th of March last )oar. The result of the testi. many of a great crowd of witnesses proves that every possible means of seduction was employed to iaduce the soldiers to massacre the inhabitants. Brandy and money were disiributed in the taverns. The Generals Campana, Freyre, Rodriguez. and Valdes, the Colonels Gabarre and Capacete, and many sub altern officers, are greatly compromised. The sen tence will be quickly pronounced. The three ge nerals and the superior officers are strictly guarded. The people wait with great impatience for justice. —There were 1. - J6 persons killed and grievously wounded. The Juurnal des Debals says—" We read in the Brussels Oracle of the 13th inst. that they value the property ‘vhich Buonapartc had placed in different banks at 3j millions of flames.— As to the memoirs which Buonapartc wrote at St. Ilelana, it appears certain that there exist three copies of them; but it seems doubtful whether they will be delivered to the printer, at least for some taste to come." ATTACK AND CAPTURE OF TIIE ALGERINE FLEET RY THE GREEKS. PARIS, Aua- 22.—A letter just received from Marseilles, conveys the following details revecting she defeat of the Algerine fleet. A vessel artivect from Mos.sina, brings news that the squadron from Tripoli, composed of a corvette, three polacres, brig, and a xebec, hive L:leti into the hands of the Greeks. The squadron from Tripoli being inferior to the Greek &,:t, endeavoured to avoid an engagement, and raaile sidi to enter the port ofSalonica. The Giecks ro sorted to a stratagem, which was successful They made the tAo tiagates taken from the Turks the heaCimuit ships in the chase. The Tripoli squadron ►uf&e:ed thoze frigates to come up with them, sup- THE NATIONAL REGISTER posing they were friends. The ftigates at the same time ran to a position to cut off their retreat, and placing them between two fires. They then pulled down the Ottoman flag, and hoisted the cross. They were soon captured. This victory, which must con vince the Turks that they cannot hope for assistance from the Barbarians, will he of great advantage to the Greeks. Tunis has nu more than a few miserable barques and the corvettes which they are building for the Bey, and far from being ready for sea. '-`"" ft:rops..- FUNERALS OF HONEY AND FRANCIS. "~=~_:~ „~~ _..

Mr. Sheriff Weidman, observing the manlier in which they had avranged themselves on the footpath along which a great part of the crowd were certain to walk in their return trom Hammersmith, rode up to them and requested them to withdraw from the conspicuous position is' which they hail placed theinselses. The sol diers disked that the y had a right to stand in the position which they then occupied, and declared their resolution of tiot movilag from it. Mr. Sheriff Waillllll4lll then said to ths to, that he did not mean to insist, as he was justified in doing, upon their complying with his desire to remove from the footpath; that his isle anxiety was to preserve the public peace ; and to effect that object lie would ask it Of them as • favour to retire to their quarters. lie fur ther added, that if they would oblige hint in that point, Willll.l order his °dicers to arrest the first in.ssi who ntreted them an insult. Notwithstanding this conciliatory address, ohne!), had it been complied with an the that is'- stance, would have indivpistably presented all the commo tion %glitch alternarits ensued, the soldiers persisted in mctaifling their station. The worthy Shedd then asked them to give him the name of their commanding °nicer, that he might co 111111 l 'locate %lilt him upon the subject. To that proposition the soldiers, at whose head was r tiller a corporal or a serjeant, gave a must polities' refusal. Mr. Waitlimati matte, however, another attempt to effect his object.

Stones were thrown by both parties, and so situultaneonsly that it would be difficult to decide which were the aggressors. In less than two or three mi nutes atter the commencenieut of this distant warfare, se veral of the soldiers climber over the wall into the street, and made an attack on the people, as we were informed by a respectable witness, though we certainly did not see the fact ourselves, were maltreating a drunken Life Guardsman, who was staggering through the street to hi* quarters. A general engagement ensued between this man's comrades (some of whom were ruined with bludgeons, but at this time had swords) and the multitude. The sac . cess was various; but during the time that it was carried on, repeated vollies of stones were hurled from the upper st iudows of the barracks. At last the people succeeded in dining hack the soldiers who made the sally. Their comrades in the bat racks perceived that their friends Mere defended, and home. diately issued f the barracks, some with swords, and others with carbines, to assist theta. It was at that exact moment that we ourselves became eye-witnesses of the scene, and we conceived, and are still inclined In coucene, that it was at this moment that the affray really commenced. It was a frightful spectacle. Soldiers, same dressed, some in their undress, were seen bursting out of the gates of their ban acks, clambering over its walls, and rusliiiig, will drawls swords and inforiated looks, into the midst of the unarmed multitude. Others were t tiro% logloolllll and brick-bats into the streets from their private lies than were thrown from the streets. We saw several people around us struck by them. Some of the people now began to Sy from the unequal contest which they were waging, but others stood up to the Guards, in spite of their superiority of WC:naive weapons, with the most undaunted for titude. Blood was flowing m both sides pretty freely, when Mr. Sheriff Waitliman, in whose absence this tumult had occurria:. rode up to the scene of action, and in the very throng of the contention. He endeavoured to part the combatants, which were then fighting at that end of the barracks which is nearest to Hyde Park. Not succeeding immediately in his efforts, he unreal back his horse, aid was riding on the foot path towards the front gate of the barracks, out of which the men armed and unarmed kept continually issuing. As lie was going along, he tbund another party scuffling with the military. He immediately order ed them to desist, and contrived to separate the corporal or wr jeant, with whom lie had been before conversing at the gate, and who, from the conversation which he had held with him, mud have known him as the Sheriff—a point that it is material to keep in mind—from the conflict in which he was engaging. The worthy sheriff immediately desired him to return to his quarters and to induce his companions to return; the answer which the man made him was to slip aside and knock down an individual who was stanuing near hun. Still the sheriff attempted to per suade him to retire, and whilst be was doing so, a young officer. in plain clothes came up, and if se saw ri ghtly, attempted to shoulder the Sheriff off the footpath. The corporal, to whom we have alluded, took courage upon seeing this outrage, and ham , distely seised the Sheriff"s horse by the bridle, saying to him. .. Damn you, I'll soon show you the way off the footpath." Mr. Waithman, around whom there were not more than five or six of his officers, all of whom were struck and wounded by the mi litary, seeing himself thus assaulted, hit the individual thus wilfully impeding him in the discharge of his ministerial duties, a heavy blow on the top of the cap with a riding stick which he had in his hand. The blow stunned the man, but others of his comrades forced the Shcritf and his horse into the middle of the street. Immediately afterwards every person who witnessed the transaction, either from the sueeLs ur the neighbouring houses, must have expected to have seen Mr. Within's:in murdered. Two or three ruffians—for they deserve not the naive of soldiers—ran at him with their pointed swords; his officers turned them aside —another was seen at the same moment, after having first deli• berately taken a cartridge out of his pouch, and primed and loaded his carbine, to place it against his shoulder and to take a deliberate aim at the worthy Alderman. Whilst the carbine was in that situation a sheriff's officer of the name of Levi, ran up and knocked the ruffian down. The struggle continued a few mi nute.' afterwards, and then suddenly closed, the men retiring, as we understood, by the command of their officers to the barracks. The Sheriff was then fully occupied in canning the spirits of the enraged multitude, many of whom, even whilst the struggle was at the hottest, applied to him to know whether they had a right to repel the brutal force which was brought against them, : adding, that, if they had, and lie would lead them on. they were ready to die by his side. Of course. the Sheriff's answer to these applications was an injunction w those who made them to keep themselves quiet and disperse. That. however. was advice not always very palatable; tor the irritation which these events had excited in the minds of the people was nut likely to cease immediately. This circumstance rendeied it necessary fur the Sheriff to remain riding up arid down all nearly eight o'clock, to prevent the accumulation of crowds before the bar. sacks. This he was at last enabled to accumplish, partly by Wrests and partly by the influence which his conduct in the affray with the Life Guards had given him with the multitude By eight o'clock the streets about Knightsbridge were compare ' tively cleared, and we have not basil of any interruption tit the itablic tranquillity occurring during the evening, save that which we have just recorded. We did not hear that any person had been mortally wounded in the affray ; several of the people had received heavy contusions, and sonic severe cuts.
