St. Paul directs Timothy to " be all things to all Alen," and Ministers imitate him.—ln Ireland the King declared himself " all Irish"—in Hanover, be said, he was " all nanoverian"—and we hope now that he is returned to his native land, he will con vince us that he can lid " all English." His Majesty arrived at Carlton Palace at six o'clock nunAlay 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 buck 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. oil Ramsgate, during the night, and slept on board, Early Thins:day 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 arc 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 culled upon to notice is, the first Sittings of the two Chambers, which of course were occupied entirely with routine. The muster of Deputies is describad, and it seems that the right side were the most nu merous, although several distinguished Liberals arc mentioned by name. M. Benjamin Constant, who appeared supported by crutches, took his usual seat on the left. Some rather noisy discussions on points of form followed, but nothing very characteristic The Consiitutionne/ informs us that the schools for mutual instruction increase in the departments, and that the advantages are so conspicuous, they arc unwillingly admitted, even by those who have hitherto opposed the system. We are told that the immufactories of Lyons, which have been ex ceedingly depressed, arc becoming once more brisk in consequence of numerous orders from America.— The death of Mr. W. Johnston, an eminent mer chant at I3ourdeaux, is mentioned as having taken place on the 2d instant, to the infinite regret of many indigent families, whom be was known secretly to assist. We must not forget to observe that the Munileur contains a long Ordonnance regulating the duties on foreign wool and woollen cloth. In respect to the Grecian questidn, the most in teresting article in these papers is supplied by a private letter, dated Toulon, 29th ult., which men tions the arrival of the Bonke frpm Smyrna, from which she sailed on the Ist Oct.

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 bhort cessation disturbances had ream- menced at Smyrna, at the festival of the Kurban 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 Podia. 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 arc mentioned oftheir beneficial interfCrence in the protection of each other's merchant vessels. The Greek fleet, at Hydra, is described as continuing to harrass the Turkish vessels with fire ships, which although for present ably avoided, arc likely to be effective, as the season obliges the latter to concentrate. The Greeks arc said to have no less than 170 vessels in these seas, although but badly provided, and with little discipline among their crews. Front Trieste we learn some rep , rted advantages of the Turks, in a descent in the Bay aCoron, 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 Priv 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." A Lisbon Mail which arrived on Saturday 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 benefice?, 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. Tho 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 Por 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 impropriator, the other to the Catholic Priest. A letter received 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 Redlnifes, states that the party had passed the winter at that place ; during which they enjoyed good health, though they had stitlitred 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 Fuhren• hcit. The party intended to prosecute their journey in June; they have found, from the intimnation of Indians, that the maps hitherto published are not to be depended upon, but Hearne's inhumation 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. . . . The p.irties who met to light the duel, and who were prevented by the appearance of a police officer, aficrwardm met and fin it, when one of the coin. batants received a slight wound in the belly, but unattended with dlnger. 357 A Supplement to Tuesday night's Gazelle, con taining despatches from India, was published on Wednesday morning. They are from the government of Bombay, dated March 10, and April 9, 1821, with enclosures; and relate to the successfill opera tions of the expedition under Major-General Smith, in the Red Sea; against the Beni 800 Ali 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 made 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 all doing 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. Cuppagc, ditto, slightly; Ensign Malkin, same refit. slightly. Capt. Stewart, Ist battalion 7th regiment, severely, and Lieut. and Adjutant Thurnham, 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 13ri tish factory of Mocha placed on that respectable footing on which it ought alone to stand. The Gazelle return of the loss in the night attack of the 10th of Feb. of non-commissioned officers and pri vates, is 16 killed and 23 woundtal. In the 'Zeit' of the 2d of March, 28 killed and 168 wounded. A gentleman in the neighbourhood of Perth who has made various exavarsions through the most inter esting parts of Europe and Asia, was lately in Con stantinople, where he was, more than once exposed to the outrages and insults of the populace. Having applied to Mr. Salt, our Consul, for protection, he gave him in charge to a Nlusselman in the service of the Sublime Porte, under whose guardianship he visited every accessible object of interest in that wonderful city. lie was surprised, on a very short acquaintance, to find that his companion spoke the English language fluently. On questioning him he was iuforined'tu hid no small amazement, that lie' teas a native of Scotland ; and that lie was born and spent his youth in Luncarty Bleach field, in the neighbourbrod of Perth ; that he had a sea We with another young mall there, whose life was in consequence despaired of, and, dreading the punishment of the law, lie had fled hem his native plate, and taken refuge in a vessel bound for the Mediterranean. This vessel was captured, and the prisoners carried to Constantinople, where he was fur stone time in the service of an apothecary, who employed hint to sell drugs through the city, allowing him a very small pittance from the sums he thus collected. He afterwards applied to Mr. Salt, who kindly assisted hint with money, sufficient to commence business us an apothecary on his nu account, and be had been so successtiil that he soon repaid thc borrowed money, and was now in very condlirtable ciretunstances. This anecd ate will remind our readers of the story of our ambassador, who, in arranging a treaty with the Grand Vizier, found considerable difficulty in coming to an under standing by meitas of an interpreter, until the Vizier ordering the interpreter and all the bv-standers to the door, saluted the Ambassador with, " Fu' litag free Aberdeen, man ;" and the business was con cluded between the countrymen in a trice. It is summed that sonic 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, Hendon, where, with the necessary assistance, lie finny' and secured 41 1 tubs. Near 50 more were discovered on Monday morning in an old hulk near Depttind glass-house, and immediately appropriated by the glass-men. Many partial seizures have been made both by the Customs and the Excise, but so general has bi en the distribution, that individuals, both male and female, are constantly to be seen either clinging to the stalls in the streets, or holding by the grass on the moor. The drivers, who were also the own ers of the carts, have been committed to gaol. A treeting of the noblemen, gentlemtn, ma, ie ttutes, &c. of the county of Renfrew, was recently held at Renfrew, at which the policy of the present corn-laws was discussed. Mr. Maxwell, M.P. spoke against the existing laws, and in fitvour of a perma nent protecting duty, but did nut state what he eon. ceived the amount of that duty should be. His ob servations, indeed, were too general and desultory, to admit of funding any proposition upon them, and accordingly, alter ProVutit Carlile of Paisley, and Mr. Sp cirs of hiderslie, bad been heard on the saute side, it was agreed to leave the matter to the,consi deration of a committee of six individuals equally chosen from the agricultural and manufacturing interests, who should report to a extuul meeting to Le held in December.
