SONG OF THE GREEKS,
— The following Song, from the last number of The New Monthly Magazine, is one of the finest efforts of the great Poet to whom we are indebted lor it :r— ■ • SONG OF THE GREEKS, BY T. CAMPBELD. AGAIN to the battle, Achaians Our hearts bid the tyrants elf fiance Our land, the first garden, of Liberty's tree- It lias Been, and shall yet be, the land of the free For the cross of our faith is replanted, The pale dying crescent is daunted, And we iniireli, that tile -fo6t-prli its of Nl*llo*.FT'i slaves, May be waMt'd out in blood from our forefathers' graves. TheirspiritTare hovering o'er us, spirits- are j Ak:d the sword shall to glory restore us. .^Ah wiiat, though no succour advances, r^Nor Christendom's chivalrous laiiees Are stretch'd in our aid ?-Be the combat our own I And we'll perish or conquer mote proudly 'alone For we've sworn, by our Country's assaulters, By the virgins they've dcagg'd from our altars, .By our massacred patriots—our chifdren in chnmv By our Heroes of old, and their blood in our vents, Thattiving,weshai)bevietorious,- i Or that dying, our deaths shat) be glorious. A breath of Submission we breathe not; TThe sword that we've drawn we will sheathe not ,Its scabbard i? left where our martyrs are laid; And the vengeance of ages has wetted its blade. •Earth may hide—waves enguipli-fire coiistiiae, us; But they shall not to slavery doom us If they rule, it shall be o'er our ashes and graves; But we've smote tlieiu already with fire on the waves, And new triumphs on land are before us— To the charge -Heaven's banner is o'er us. This day shall ye blush for its story, Or brighten your lives with its glory. Ot)twotnen—Qi)!say,sha))thevshnekindespa!r, Or embrace us from conquest with wreaths in their hair ? Accursed may his memory blacken, If a coward there be itliat,would slacken, Till.we'-ve trampled the Turban, and shewn ourselves worth being sprung from and named for the godlike of citrlil. Strike home, and the world shall revere us As heroes descended from heroes. 'Old Greece lightens up with emotion Her inlanrls,-hcr isles of the ocean: Fanes-rebuilt, and fair towns, shall with jubilee ring, And the Nine shall uew-hallpw their Helicon's spring. (Our hearths shall be kindled in gladness,: That were cold and extinguisli'd in sadness; Wiiiisto-iriniti dens shall dunCf", with iheir white-waving arms, Singing jay to the bra.ve that deliver'd their cliaruis; When ilie blo'od of yon IVlussulftian craveii# ^hall have criiajjii'd the beaLs of our raveuti S rOÓK Ex.cH-ise J, Twelw 'e'c/oc^.—Owing Iii the anfor- • ntatio.ifroinPiuis this morning the above market WIIS, crowded at an early hour, and Consols opened at.80| went up to 81, 8l| 81.

. SWANSEA, FRIDAY, Ncm 15.
SWANSEA, FRIDAY, Ncm 15. A meeting of the county of Gi1 morgan is adver- tised to be held at Pyie on the 10lh of next mouth, for the purpose;of taking into consideration the improvement of the New PassugR Ferry, and of the line of road apd general commanieatiou between Bristol and Waterfurd. On Sunday se'nnight, the Lord Bishop of St. David's held a private ordination at the Chape) of St. John the Baptist, Abergwilly, and ordained Mr, Watkin Herbert, ol Rhiwhren and Mr. Llewellyn Lloyd Thomas, of Ahertluar, to the Holy Order of Deacons; the former of yvhotn was licensed to the Curacy of Nash, in the county of Pembroke, and the latter to the Chapel, called Cappel Cynon, in, the county of Cardigan, On Friday, the 1st instant, it was discovered that the Parish Church of Narherth, in Pembrokeshire, had been broken into, and that the pulpit cloth and cushion, the. desk cloth, the bier cloth, two surplices, a folio bible and prayer book, had been stolen therefrom. A duel was fought on Monday, the 21st ult. at Cil-y-cwm, near Llandovery, between Capt.Rice, Of Liwynybrain, and Mr. Chas. Bishop, of Kington. The former gentleman received his opponent's fire, which happily proved ineffectual, and discharged his pistol in the air; thus the affair terminated.— Carmarthen Journal.—[We, a few weeks ago, re- ceived a similar account; bur, adhering to our in- variable practice of riot giving insertion, to ano-, nymous communications, where the names of respectable individuals are liiuiiioned, we declined noticing it at the time.] Last week David Samuel and James Jenkins were committed to Cardiff gaol, by our Magistrates, for feloniously stealing a quantity of varnish from the premises of Mr. Francis, coachmaker, of this town. FATAL OceuitnENCE.—On Monday last, an In- quest wis held before James Evans, Rsq. Coroner, at the Three Tuns, Chepstow, on the body of John Howe], the son of creditable parents in that town, who Was tound drowned on the banks of the Wye, opposite the Alcove, in Piercefield Watks. After J. the examination of the body, sufficient reasons appearing to justify an adjournment, the enquiry was resumed on Wednesday morning; but after the strictest examination of several persons, the, verdict of the Jury wis delivered—Found drowned, No trace whatevei" appeared in evidence, to prove that the deceased committed the rash act himself, as he was on the best of terms with his relatives and. his, employer; so that the cause leading to the 'awful event remains veiled in mystery. At an earty hour on Friday morning last, an iti- nerant cork-cutler, from Bristol, of the name, of Win. Reed, was found dead in the back-yard of the Carmarthen-Afms public-house, in the town of Carman hen, into which he had apparently falteén from a ruinated part of the Castle, called the Mount. It appeared in the course of the inquest which was held on the body, that the deceased had been in the above town for about a fortnight pre- vious to the fatal event,that he had been seen in company with a female of ill fame, and in a state of intoxication on Thursday evening,—and that a pair of pattens, supposed to be hers, were found, with a bag of corks, which had belonged to him, in a stable, near the Mount, on Friday morning but the evidence not being sufficient to establish, any charge, the verdict returned was—Found dead. On Thursday week, John Morgan, substitute for Morgan Price of Buiith, in the Breconshire Militia, was apprehended at Brecon, as a deserter, for not having attended the annual meeting for exerbise; at Brecon, in Sept. 1820 and xVUy, A8W. He was committed by John Brown, Esq. Bailiff, to .hard labour in the House of Correction, for the space of six months, or until he should pay the penalty of twenty pounds. Edw. Ludlow, Wrh. Herbert, and John Biackwell, privates in the Iloyal North Gloucester Militia, have been committed to Ilorsley Prison for six months, for having enlisted in his Majesty's regular forces; and will, agreeabiy to instructions received from the War-Office by the Adjutant of the Regi- ment, be delivered over into the corps, into which e they haverespectively enisled, at the expiration of their service itl the above Battalion of Militia, We trust the above commitments will serve as a further caution to Mititia Men who enlist into the regular forces before the expiration of their service in the former corps. Mr. Lloyd has signified his intention of relin- quishing the contest for Shropshire on the present occasion the struggle is therefore, now between Mr. Pelham and Mr. Childe, whose respective friends are, of course, sanguine as to the success of their favourite candidate. The day of nomination is fixed for Thursday next. Carmarthen fair, yesterday, exhibited a tolerably good show of cattle, the sale at which was consi derable, but at very low prices. The horse-fair was but indifferent. é During a gale of wind on Friday a brig was driven into Mount's Bay, when a boat from Newlyn courageously went to her assistance, and succeeded;; in conducting her in safety to Guavas Lake: for which we understand an appropriateprcmium was given. The gale (which was very heavy) continued till Saturday morning, and caused a tremendous sea in the bay. At Porthleaven the waves broke in awful grandeur over the pier, and roiled in impe- tuous torrents upon the wharf, tearing up the wheel road in several places, from one to two feet deep; and has so undermined the road, adjoining to where the masonry ends/as to bring some newly- erected houses into jeopardy, and which indeed evidentty must shortly fall down, if not prevented by the seasonable completion of the wharf. NEATE AND SPRING.—The match is off Spring did not make his stake good at Belcher's yesterday, as it was confidently expected he would. Great in- terest prevailed on the subject throughout the day. The fluctuations of the betting up to the last mo- ment, were considerable. At nine o'clock it was 5 to 4 on ISfeate; at ten o'clock 6 to 4 Neate; at eleven o'clock 2 tp 1 Neate. p. p.; at half past eleven 3 to 1 on Neate, p. p. Soon afcer! his time the truth. came out to the great dismay and regret of the, company assembled on the occasion—Spring; did not make his appearance,—British Traveller Nov, 13, I A rtflw mail from Oldster: to Hereford ihrotigh Shrewsbury has commenced rumiing. An inhabitant* of .Leominster, Herefordshire, has lately erected there a mill for spinning Has, on an extensive scale; and has thus probably laid, the foundation of a linen manufactory in a place excel- lently calculated- for the purpose. A large field of com at Pontesbury, Shropshire, belonging,to Mr, John Lawrence, of Sheffield, which was sown in May, was last weeji collected together, having been only five months in the ground; the crop was abundant, and the corn very fine. The same agriculturist, a few years ago, on the same farm, had corn in the ground nearly thirteen months DARING ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY AND MURDER,— On Friday morning, about bait-past three o'ci.ock, as Mr. Win. Gill,, butcher, oil Rock, near Bewdley, was on his way,to Leominster, he was stopped in- Poach Brook Lane, by a foot-pad, who yvresenting a pistol, demanded his money. Mr. Gill struck at the ruffian with his stick, when the fellow dis- charged the pistol at him, the ball from which passed through his hat, happily without injuring him. Mr. G. maintained his seat, and whilst struggling with his assailant, his horse was shot dea.d under him, by another villain, who" had secreted bimselfbehindrhe hedge. Both the des- peradoes now fell upon Mr. Gill, &nd began beat- ioghim with the b'Ut end of their pistots in the most cruel manner, threateniag. with horrid im- precations, to murder him, unless he surrendered his money, Mr. G. promised to comply, if they would spare, his,l.ife.Aud taking off-his coat, told them they would^find his pocket-book in one of the pockets. One of the wretches was for dis- paching him instantly but the other demurred to this blood-thirsty proposal, and desiring him to take off his waistcoat, began to search the Coat for the booty. In the waistcoat pocket was lOOi. in bank notes, but the attention of the marauders beitig engaged in examining the contents of- the pocket-book, which consisted of blank cheques only, Mr. G. determined upon an effort to escape their.clutches, a-n 1, rushing by them in a resolute manner, succeeded in doing so, and thus, by his intrepidity, preserved his money, and probably his .life. Mr. G, gave immediate alarm throughout the neighbourhood, and instant pursuit was made in every direction in search of the. villains, but we regret to say without effect a handsome reward has, however, been onrered' for their apprehension, which, we hope, will be speedily effected. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' ACT.—A Pubfic Meeting took place at the Guildhall, Bristol, on Thursday week, on this highly important subject, which was most numerously and respectably attended. The Right Worshipful, the Mayor, who presided, stated that he fully agreed with the geniicniea who had y 6 signed the requisition, that some relief from the obnoxious clauses of the Insolvent Debtors' Act was absolutely necessary. Mr. Livett, the solicitor employed on this occasion, produced a copy of the Report of a Select Committee of the Honse ot Corn- mons, appointed to inquire into the Acts respecting Insolvent Debtors,;and read from it mnch inter- esting matter. Tu th.e cour'.e of this comtnunication tt.appeared, that the; number of Insolvents dis- charged in the four years previous, was 13,572. The whole amount of their debts, 9,506,8071 16s. lild. The amount of debts stated by these Insolv- ents iln their schedules to be due to their estates, was, 2,912,4341, 15s. 10 I. amounting to about 6s. in "tlwpound.-At lite same time another return was ordered tq be printed, of the zchole number of per- sons, discharged under the Act, amounting to, 15,219. The gross amount of their debts, 10,979, 94Pl. 3s. 9^d. The gross amount of their property got tn by the Assignees anil filed in the Court was, 160,0341. of 6s. in the pound, f as stated i"ii- the ibeliedules in the politic! on thi§; imtnen&e amount of debt! The different Resolutions were then moved and se- conded by various respectable tradesmen of Bristol, all of whom deprecated in strong terms the injus- tice and impolicy of i^e law, and some of whom stated several gross acts of injustice and fraud in the immediate neighbourhood of that city;—The Resolutions, and a Petition to the House of Com- mons, were all carried unanimously. At Ludlow Quarter Sessions, Edward Sankev, late liostler at the Feathers Inn, Ludlow, was found guilty of an assault, with intent to commit a rape upon Louisa Chi[de;jan infant under sfiven years, and was sentenced to be imprisoned one year, and kept to hard labour in the common gaol, and to be privately whipped. We underst u ] that the C'orn Inspectors have received a Circular from the General Receiver, desiring them to certain any eases in which persons shall I.ted to make returns of corn bought by them, on any market day, or on any day between two markets, in order that directions; may be given for the recovery of the penalty or penaUjes, by due course of law; it being the deter- mination of the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade, to enforce a strict compliance with the Act of Parliament." The following is the declaration which a country dealer is required to make I, A. B., do hereby declare, that tile returns of the quantities and prices of bushel corn, which henceforward shall be bought by me, together the uatnesof: the Spersorts from whotn I shall ninke such purchases, sliall, to -the bestofmy knowledge and bejief. be true and.just.and to; th7 bestuf my judgiiie.it conlorinablo to the direction of. .in Act passed in the second year of the reign of his present Majesty King George the Fourth,, intituled, An Act to repeal certain Acts passed in the 3M, 35th, 44th, and 45th years of his late Majesty K^n^g George the Third, tor regelating the" Importatinnand, Exportation of Corn.' Grain, Meal, and Flour mto and fro in Great Britain," and to mike further provisions in lieii thereof. Witness ray hand this —— day of fii the year of our Lord 18 — A. B. The above declaration is to be taken by the dealer in corn who makes it, to the Mayor or Chief Magistrate of the town where the inspector resides, who will certify the sable, and deliver it to be filed to the Clerk of the Peacè or Town Clerk.o.i Dealers in corn may plead as an excuse their igno- ratsce of the provisions of the Corn Act but when their duties are laid forth in a plain 'niatiner'" in a widely circulated provincial paper, there can be ho excuse for their not complying with the direc- tions of the Act,—nor can they blame any inspector for being exact in executing the duties of bis office. By an Act of Parliament lately passed, all common prostitute-sand night walkers, wandering in the public streets, are liable to be apprehended and committed to the House of Correction; it is lawful for any person to apprehend them, withrmt a warrant; and watchmen, constables", and other peace officers, refusing or neglecting to do so, are liable to be fined 5l.

Ai/luttgtjt the Turkish skip-conld no longer stand t so vigorous an attack, but saved herself by bearing! away-targe before the wind. Towards the close of the day, the enemy, closely pressed at all points, betook himself to flight, and was pursued to the Isle of Parapota. On the 24th he re-appea;ed in the waters of Stratonice, directing his course to- wards the channel opposite to Spazzia, but at the sight of 15 fire-ships, which were stationed there, he-put about, and stood towards the first channel from which he was repulsed with the greatest ar- dour. Aided by the darkness of the night, the Turkish Admiral then dispatched two ships full of provisions towards Negrepont, but the Greeks succeeded in capturing both of them. One of them was ati Austrian vessel, having onboard a Tchayuus (an Adjutant) of the Captaiil Pacha. The Greek fleet was left in pursuit of the Turks. This evi- <1 en ly refers to part of actions between the Turkish and Greek fleets, which we have mentioned from the German papers that arrived oa Monday. A letter from Madrid, which has heen very widety circulated, and is received with credit and confi- dence, asserts as a positive fact, that the Portu- guese Charg6 d'Aii'aires, by order of/his Govern- ment, has demanded of Mr. Canning an open, explicit, and decisive declaration of the position which the British Government will take up, should the Powers of the Holy Alliance threaten the inde- pendence of Portugal by an interference in the in- ternal government of that kingdom. The Portu- guese Minister said in his note, that all the Powers of Europe had preserved tbeir ancient friendly intercourse with his government, excepting the Eraperor of Austria, the King of Naples, and the King of Sardinia. Europe, cohtinued the Minister of Portugal, coutd no longer doubt, the,sincerwy of the wishes of Don John VII. who, of his own tree will, from pure conviction, and without the least degree of violence, direct or indirect, had accepted of the new social compact.—Mr. Can ning, in answi i tothe note of the Minister, said that he had no hesitation, publicly and solemnly, to declare, in compliance with the wish of the Portuguese Envoy, that the English Government would never consent to an attack upon Portugal in consequence of her political opinions." A letter from Brighton, dated November 9, says His Majesty was slightly indisposed during some days of the past week, and last night (Friday), it is regretted, the King was attacked with a sharp fit of the gout." It is. rumoured, but the trnth of the report is doubtful, that the Lords of theAdmiratty have in contemplation a very material reduction in the expense of the naval department, by the discon- tinuance of the Flag Officers at Chatham, Leith, and Cork. The new monument to the memory of the late Mr. Fox, erected on the north side of WestinioSter jibbey, has been within these few days opened to the public view, as have the old monuments of Queen Elizabeth, and Mary Queen of Scots, which have lately utidergone a thorough repair, and have been newjy beautified. The internal trade of the country (at all times its chief bulwark) in various artictes of our prin- cipal manufactures, is, we are happy to lu.irn, lately much altered for the better, .an(t:dai)y im- proving, under auspicious prospects for greater activity and profit. This improvement the agri- cultural interests must soon and profitably feel. The demand from the continent for goods is considerable, and, for cotton yarn, great and in- creasing. The spinnm is at present a flourishing • trade. In short, appearances are very favourable for » good winter trade, instead of a stagnation, las was at one time seriousty apprehended. There is no lack of employment at ordinary and even at ^uiid wages, while the low raife of provisions.keeps. the mahiifactnring population in a more comfort- able situation than they have been in for many years, The Magistrates of London have expressed their determination to prosecute pawnbrokers as the rc- (titers of stolen goods, in all c;tses where the nature of the articles pawned and the appearance of the persons offering such articles by way of pawn, ought to induce a reasonable suspicion that stiel) goods are not the property of the persons so offer- ing the same, and when proper and strict inquiries 'under such circumstances have not been ina.de to ascertain the fact.—Those inquiries pawnbrokers are the 39th and 40th Geo. 8ii, c. 99, authorized to luajce; and to detain any person offering goods in pawn, not giving a good account of himself, and of ths means by which he became possessed of the • -goods. It has lately been discovered that ladies dresses are prevented from taking fire by being dipper in a solution of pure vegetable alkali after the dresses haYebeell, washed abd wrung our. of the last waier. This solution is as clear as spriog water, and with- out the Jeast smell. IV., Bertholet, the celebrated chymist, died at Paris on the 6th instant.
