Hon&ott, SATURDAY, AUGUST 20. NOTHING CAN be more digusting than he and -intlecent tirades (we had said, the seditiona ribaldry) with vhich some of the itinerant orators in Ire- íludcontinually load the DUKE OF YORK. According to these people, who are iuch wordy lovers of liberty, the Heir Ap- )arent to the throne is the only person in he kingdom not entitled to think for him- elf: and in proportion as they claim and sxcercise unbounded liberty of speech for ;hemselves, would they deny it to those who differ from them. The Catholics com- )lain too that they are accused of holding t divided allegiance between their own So- vereign and the Pope. This they deny jut to disprove it, they evince a divided tllegiance at home, more mischievous to -liemselves and to their cause than the ;o reign one with which they are upbraided; ior while they speak in terms of occasional idulafcion of the KING, the sentiments they ise towards the Prince who may to morrow- )e their Sovereign, are such as nothing like thcspirit of allegiance can for a moment be coupled with. But, luckily, experience has shown that violent talkers are not to betaken at their word and we dare say that should the DUKE OF YORK, in the course of nature, ever ascend the throne, he will find his present vituperators in Ireland, as ready to laud him to the skies, as they now are. to vilify and misrepresent him. THE sudden rise of the. Greek Scrip gives great probability to the report of an expedition which is to be undertaken under the command of Lord Cochrane and Sir R. Wilson, for the assistance of that people. It is stated that the plan was finally agreed upon at a dinner at Sir F. Burdett's: that a sum of E300,000 is to be put at the en- tire disposal of his lordship and a corps of 3,500 men to be armed, accoutred, and plat-ed under the- direction of Sir Robert.— Some versions of the report go so far as to assert that two cut-down 74 gun-ships have been purchased of a northern Power for this expedition: and that, in conjunc- tion with them, two steam vessels are to be employed. The following is the Proclamation is- sued bv Gen. Colocotroni on Ibrahim's re- treat from before Napoli di Romania 'Bra vecotin try men and brothers stationed at Dierveni, Klii, Arcadia Pirgo, and Gastani and all my fellow citizens—We yesterday succeeded in inclosing Ibrahim Pacha, the most dangerous enemy of the Peloponues- sns, in the position agreed on. The day was rendered still more glorious-by the fire ol" the Greeks, which that haughty man had to sustain. However, as he is not en- tirely destroyed, but only surrounded, I call on you as brothers, but especially on such of you as are stationed at Chiussa, Gaski- ni, and Pirgo, to hasten and march day and night in order to arrive here in time. On this depend both the success of Greece, and the lives of your wives ,and children! Has- ten confidently and fearlessly to crush the enemy with a single blow, and to free us ior ever. i f you are Christains and Greeks, if you value your lives and your country, hasten to give your assistance. On you de- pends this day our deliverance or our des- truction. Those who are at present sta- tioned at Patras must remain there but the others should make no delay in coming whither they are called."

The following is an extract from a letter dated Rome, August I, given in a daily paper:— With regard ( o the late rejection in the House of Lords of the Bill for what has been strangely called Catholic Emancipa- tion, the Court of Rome had, until the 16th of Juljf, observed a prudent silence, ØIl that day, howevar, its journal, which coasts "Pontifical privilege," put forth .proposals for publishing translations of Cob- bett's Letters upon the two contending Re- ligions in which Letters, saith the Jour- nalist, the writer undertakes" to delnon- strate, by way of argument, and by induc- tion of facts, the dismal effects resulting to England from what is called the Reforma- tion." All things perpended, it might be fairly presumed that greater benefits to his Holiness's subjects might accrue from ver- sions and applications of Mr. Cobbett's writings upon agricultural topics. The forthcoming translation is to be printed at the Propaganda press!" A Flanders paper states that the plan of cutting a canal at Brussels, to be navi- gated by merchantmen of between 400 and 500 tons burden, or even by frigates fully rigged anctariaed, is prosecuting with great tivity. ¡1

;.¡,a' I A Noble Lord, who was aid-de-camp, to j'ie Duke of eiiingfon, visited the Duke earlv or the looming of the battle of and per- ceil" him lying on a very small camp bedstead, ol/" Tve; that his Grace "hid not room to turn lyj^e: f." The Duke immediately replied, -o ii have lived as long as 1 have, you I- that when a man thinks of turning in his t»«ti it is time he should tern out of it." There lives Ht Marsell-rs an old and ed watchmaker who. wishing to regulate th va- lue of his time by the jmlses of his conscience, has taxed every hour employed by him in business of every kind at the rate of a franc. On a lare occasion he refused to take more than a franc and a half for repairing a time-piece, which, if other- wise paid for, wouid have cost sii francs, aiida, signed as his reason for so doing, that he spent but an hour and a half in mending it. A most extraordinary instance of preservation was discovered a few days since, in repairing some of the vaults of St. Martin's Church, in this city. On opening a leaden coffin, wherein were deposit- ed, So years ago, the ramains of the Rev. Mr. Heron, rector of the parish, the body was found as perfect as when il was deposited in the tomb the flesh yielding to the touch, and recovering its smoothness when the finger was removed and a napkin wrapped round the head, and the shroud covering the corpse, were as white and uninjur- ed as if they had come from a draper's stiop.- Plymouth and Exeli-r Gazette. At Leicester assizes no bill was preferred against Sir \'Vil'oug-hhy Dixie, who had been com- mitted to prison for wilfully shooting. The Judge ordeie the prosecutors' recognizances to be estreated, and expressed his regret that the committing magistrate had Mind them in such tnadequate sums, ( £ W.) He said he did not know upon what principle the reverend persons whose names appeared as prose* liters, could re- concile their corn uet on this occasion; but he took that opportunity of s \ing, that jud°;in<* from what appeared on iii, before him, he held this case to be as gross a one. and as much deserving investigation, as any that ever appeared iu a court of justice. The case against Sir Wiiloughby Dixie, which was thus disposed of, did not appear to have excited much interest in Leicester, and the result had been anticipated the prosecutors and the prisoner being intimately connected by marriage. The Baronet, it appear- ed, came unexpectedly into possession of the title and estates upon the death of his brother Sir Beaumont Dixie, who was a prisoner in France.

What a noble thing is a fire A few minor inconveniences attend these experi- ments occasionally, and therefore we are about to tell our readers how to contrive the burning of their own houses. The sailing master of a vessel belonging to a port on the east coast of Scotland, was, on a voyage to the Mediterranean, captured by the Aigerines, and detained in slavery for eleven years; five of these employe;! at h. i- i., with a ball 11 lbs. weight fettered to one of°S[s allcles. till released from so painful a situation by Lord Exmouth. Returning to his native town sufficiently disguised in tattered apparel, a foi worn countenance, and an unshorn beard he learnt that his wife, after passing ten year's iu supposed widowhood, had married a second hus- band and that a son, left apprentice to the book- binding business, now kept a bookselling and sta- tionery shop, in which he was assisted by a daughter. The liberated captive sought out and entered the shop, and on prelonce or hping recom- mended to a bed, invited himself home with them in the evening, and there found his Jean and her new husband, enjoying themselves around the domestic hearth. After some circumlocution and preparing the way. he inquired (naming his wife) if such a woman still lived in the place, and that if she did, he had some intelligence of her hus- band to communicate. The question caused the stranger to be looked upon .with suspicion as meaning in all probability to impose on theni At length,, assuming the well-known look ai» £ tone of undiminished affection, he appealed to h"- Jean, if she did not recognise him under all h'* concealment. The appeal was not made in vain- the recognition was on both sides tender and af* feeling. On being asked, to which of the hn> husbands she cho. to attach herself, the" wife of two husbands" emphatically exclaimed »ha? Willie (the first husband) had been the betrothed of her youth, her first love, !1nd the parent of her children, and now that, he wa,, as it were restored to her from the dead. herchoiec was to be his for life and death. The second husband, having-had it put m his option, by the rcal gudenian to an propriate what he could justly claim, acted ex- tremely honourable, choosing nothing save a "olrf watch he himself had presented to the BiippSw widow when he wedded her; and, on its bein^ restored, left the house, town, and that distri t of the country, never since having beiug eilher seen or heard of.
