THE DIAMONDS.—We regret to have been the means of communicating to our readers last week, as a statement of facts on this subject, what we are now convinced, from information on which we can implicitly rely, is entirely without foundation. The proceedings in the House of Commons since our last, have been unattended by any occurrence worthy of animadversion—they have in fact ex tended no farther than an arduous struggle between the biassed and the unbiassed—between those who gain by a bad system, and those who are anxious to reform it—or to condense the terms, between the dependent and independent component parts of that honourable House—we give the priority against our will to the dependent part, because to our great sorrow, and to the misfortune of poor old England, it constitutes the majority.—Mr. Ilume proceeds fearlessly, and with laudable - perseverance to un mask in all their labyrinthian secrecy, the impo itiuns practised on the public by Messrs Liverpool, Londonderry, Vansittart, and Co., and although Lis efforts are night a:ter night opposed by all the phalanx of impure and purchaseable soi-di.cant Representatives of the People, one unquestioned and undeniable good must result from those expo xitions—they inform the country at large, through the medium of the Press, not lino arc their ftepre tatives, for that is but too well known, but WHAT are their Representatives, which cannot be too well known—indeed were it not for the benefit conferred on the country by that part of the Press which is devoted to diurnal and weekly publication, through which alone the speeches of our legislators and their opinions become known to the country at 1 rg,e, we should consider the continuance of a I louse of Com :nous unproductive of any other good Own as the means of voting impositions on an already heavily oppressed community—but however they may en deavour to di , guise it we know from experience that the most callous and impudent men alive (we do sot restrict this observation to the Members of the Cabinet) cannot slim an untlanched cheek when they encounter the groans and execrations of their injured and insulted countrymen. A Half-yearly meeting of the Proprietors of Duilt Stuck was held at the Bank on Thursday last, THE NATIONAL REGISTER . ' which was numerously attended. It was expected that the Chairman would have announced the in tention of the Bank to reduce the rate of discount to POUR per cent. a rumour to that effect having been for some days past circulated, but it now proves to have been at least premature. A pro prietor having called upon the Chairman for infor mation on the subject, the latter observed, that any opinion expressed by him would only tend to in crease and not diminish the disposition to speculate ; but of course the Directors would not take any step on so important a measure without due deliberation. —The Court, after disposing of a variety of other business, adjourned. A splendid ornament, describing the shield of Achilles, of solid gold, to hang over a sideboard, and a plateau of the some precious metal, both of great weight, are nearly finished for his Majesty, to be displayed, it is presumed, on an expected approach ing event of great interest and importance to the country. Advices have been received Irons Corfu up to the sth inst. They mention the arrival of the Turkish fleet, in all 70 vessels, at Patras, where they had lauded 12,000 men. All doubts are removed of the fate of Ali Paella, who has fallen into the hands of Chursehid Paella, the Turkish General commanding the force before Joannina, by whose orders] he has been decapitated, and his head sent to Constanti nople. This event is a most fatal one tin. the Greek cause, as the army of Churschid Paella is estimated at 23,000 men, who would be placed at liberty to support the operations in the Morea. Another di vision of the Turkish army, of nearly equal force, under the Paella of Salonica, by whom the surrender of Cassandra and the convention with the Greeks of Mount Athos had been effected, is also understood to be marching for the same destination ; so that the Greeks in the Mores would have opposed to them a force little less than 60,000 men Of the move ments or strength of the Greeks by land, there have been no recent accounts that can be relied on. Their fleet is said, in the letters from Corfu, nearly to equal that of the Turks ; and it is added that they meditated an attack on the Turkish fleet at Patras. A Supplement to Tuesday's Gazelle has been pub lished. It contains a copy of a report which had beet received at the East India House, from Lieut. Col. Maxwell, of the Company's service at Mon groul, Oct. 1, 1821. This dispatch details an ad vantage obtained over the Maharao of K orah, Kishou Sing, whom it was necessary to attack in conse quence of Capt. Tod, agent to the \Western Rajpoot States, intimating all hopes of pacification were at an end. The victory obtained was decisive ; the cavalry of the Maharao, although they fought bravely, were rapidly broken by the artillery; and being also charged by two squadrons of the 4th light cavalry, under Major Midge, the enemy was defeated with a loss of 500 men, and their whole camp and baggage were captured. The following is a list of killed and wounded : Return of Kialed and Wounded of a detachment, under the com mand of Lieutenant• Colonel W. G. Maxwell, in action near Mongroul, lst Oct. 1821. 2 lieutenants 2 havildars, 3 rank and ale, 6 horses, killed; 1 major, 4 havildars, 16 rank and tile, 1 horse, wounded.

Extract from the agent to Lloyd's at Malaga, dated 2d March :—" By a decree of the Cortes, sanctioned by the King, a duty of one dollar per ton is imposed on all foreign vessels (without exception) that may enter any port of the peninsula of Spain, whether they discharge or not. A singular occurrence lately happened at Orleton, in Herefordshire. A man had been cleaning a well. In ascending he saw some jutting stones, and having a mallet and a chisscl, he took oil some of the pro- jecting parts, tut immediately observed the sides giving way, and called to his companions to wind up quicker; at that instant the well closed upon and buried him under six yards of stone and earth ; this happened ut nine in the morning, and no hopes were entertained of his extraction alive. The most prompt exertions were made to clear out the rubbish, and at two o'clock they got him out alive, though much bruised, but by proper attention he is now likely to do well. This young man had a strong presentiment that something was to happen to him in the well, for on the day preceding he told his sweetheart in the presence of his brother, that if he should not survive the well cleaning, she should have his money, and the brother his clothes, and hoped the brother would take his place in her affections ! The persons who have dissented from the plans of government, fur transferring the 5 per cents into the fours, are 1,373; the amount 2,605,081. (is. 1041. A mail from Constantinople has arrived with let. ters of the Ilth of February. An energetic remon. strance has been addressed to the Turkish Govern. ment by the Austrian Ambassador, calling on the Divan to accede to the just demands of Russia, by withdrawing their troops from Walachia and Mol davia, and by reinstating the Hospodars in the government of those provinces. Lord Strangford had adopted a similar course; and these representa tions are said to have made the impression on the counsels of the Divan to which they were entitled. Indeed, it is now asserted that the disposition of the Porte has long been to preserve peace by making the requisite concessions ; but that it has been kept secret tbr the purpose of overawing the turbulence of the Janissaries by the prospect of a Russian war, and thus establishing the favorite prtject of the Salter', for creating an army disciplined after the European manner, to which the Janissaries are so decidedly opposed, that the Sultan, in the event of a failure would have just reasons to fear their ven geance. An encampment of troops, from Roineba and Anatolia, consisting of 50,00 u or 60,000 men, had been formed round Constantinople, and further reinforcements were expected, after which it was supposed the whole would be stationed within the city. As a further indication that peace will be preserved, it is stated in letters from Odessa, that the regular communication between that place and Constantinople by post has been restored. Letters have been received from Vienna, dated the sth inst. They mention the arrival there of M. Tantischeff, a member, it is said, of the Russian Cabinet, and to whom full powers are confided, for the adjustment of the diffi!rences with Turkey.— A Plenipotentiary from the Porte was also expected to arrive at Vienna, empowered to act in a similar manner in behalf of his Government. They were to confer on the respective claims of the two countries, and any disputed points were to be referred to the decision of the Emperor of Austria, who acts as mediator. LADY STEWART..--Fler ladyship had nearly Mlt with a serious accident on Sunday. Her ladyship took an airing in her carriage, and went to Battersea House, to pay a visit to Lady S. Kerr (Lord Stew art's sister). After alighting from her carriage, and going up the steps to the hall, her ladyship slipped and cut her nose and lip, and was so much frightened that she fainted. Great apprehension was entertained for her safety, her ladyship being very near her accvuchemenf. We arc happy to add that her ladyship wt:s as well us could be expected on Monday, and has not received any other injury than what has been stated. An express was imme diately sent off to Lord Stewart, at the Pavilliun, Brighton, who arrived in town on Monday morning. A Kerry paper announces the following account of the military preparations of General Bock.— " Within the present week numbers of persons re siding in the mountainous district between this barony and that of Clammaurice, were visited by the insurgents, and sworn to repair an old road, long since sufkred to go to ruin, running through the mountains of Glashorecgh. and in the direction of the county of Limerick. 'Phis task was imposed for the avowed purpose of facilitating the march of Gen. Rock's army from Abbeyfeale. &c. and such is the stupid infatuatuation of those deluded persons, that hundreds of them have been working with the greatest assiduity on this old road, in obedience to this ridiculous mandate." Toe AMERICAN Priormr.T.—We are informed that the poor enthusiast, called the American pro phet, Joseph Decker, who preached and baptised about a month ago in the vicinity of the King's Bench prison, embarked a fortnight since with one of his disciples for France, with the view ofjourney ing to Jerusalem. They had proceeded about 1(at) miles in France, without any knowledge of the French language, and wandered they knew not where, when the unfortunate prophet was taken ill of the small-pox, and expired on the 4th instant, after lingering a week. His body was refused in the first instance, Christian burial, but his friend having explained, through an interpreter, who the deceased was, and the object they both had in view, the corps was interred with great pomp and cere mony. Decker wore a surtout with a leathern girdle, and went without shoes or hat. His beard was red and long, and he was six feet high, and from the singularity of his appearance attracted much notice, and excited much pious feeling. His wearied com panion returned home on Saturday last, and not much disposed to go on another pilgrimage. On Monday a deputation of the Livery waited on the Lord Mayor with a requisition most numerously and respectably signed, for a Common-hall, to take into consideration the present distressed situation of the country, and the best means of promoting Par liamentary reform, as the only certain means of redress. His lordship received the gentlemen with great politeness, inquired the day that would be most agreeable to them, and immediately acceded to their wishes by appointing Thursday the fiBth inst. for the Common Hall. • ... ~~::.:
