Anecdote lillle A’now/j.—During almost the whole of the last century, the family of the Parisian executioner, so celebrated amongst the people under the name of Chariot, inhabited a soli’ary house, situa ted about the centre of the l^'tite rue St. 2icholas,between the faubourgs, St. Den nis and St, Marlin.

He hlid a long white bea''d, w hich evidently had not ielt the edge of a razor for niany \ears : he wore a drab colored hat, ii»ade of a %er\ uiu onmion kind of beaver, and in a very unusual kind of forn»—that jjarl of il which fils on the head was nearly ghtbu- lar in sha]>e, and was surrounded by a brim of such ,’uormous magnitude, that ev(M) John Fo\ cf)uld not have seei\ it w ith- oul anenujlion of envy. 'I’he color of his coat, which canje down to his ancles, was ligiil bronn ; the bultoiis of il v.ere very lai!',e, and, like angel’s visits, were “few and I'ar between the pockets of it aj)- pcared of capacity siitrieit:nt to carry otV len such dinners as are u'^ually eaten in these ile;;tnerale day.s. His waistcoat, which had a ll.ip as large and os long as any wai>lcoat that ever was exhibited at the court in thf, !)est da\soflace and em- bntidery, seemed to be made of scraps of jilumage belonging lo \ arious hirds, and also of scraps of skins belonging to vari ous animais, and was a vest of far more colors than any jihilosophcr h;is yet dis covered iti the tints of the rainlxjw.

'I'he kitest intelligence from CJreece, received'in London,' appears lo be con- taiiu’d in the following letter. Extract of a letter IVom Leghorn, da ted 1st September :—'I'here arrived here to day a v essel from Salonica, the Cap tain of which deposed at the Odice of Health, that more than 1000 (Jreeks made a descent on Eponomy with more than 40 boats, the most of whom w ere from Sca- thos and Scopelos, atul attacked atul beat completely the 'I’urks who were there.'I'he I*acha, having heard of this defeat. Hew lo their assistance with ‘JOOO men, caval ry and infantry, ami four uioces of can- nun, but he was also beai ,.nd he lost more than 200 men, wilii 1. ■> cannon, and was obliged lo retire to Salonica. 'I’he 2(1 of August, the 'I’urks returned to at tack the Creeks, but were again repulsed. After this combat, the Cireeks embarked, and went to Salinis, which is still nearer Salonica, w here they were again attacked by the Turks on the 3d and 4th August, but these latter were once more repulsed, 'i’he Creeks then left Salinis, and landed at Caterini; but the result of their move ment is not known, as the vessel sailed before any thing further had taken place.” The said letter from Leghorn confirms all that has been staled tuiicerning the ri'-cai)lure of Ipsaia. It furiher adds, that the papers of Missoloii-hi, which iiave reached Leghorn, relate that ;5oou (lieeks, under the command of Conslan- une Botsaris, brother to the hero, Marco Uolsai is, who lost his lil'e at Carpenilza, like a rsccund Leonidas, descended at the Messinian (iulf. Another body of 3000 Creeks landed at Castor ini, and another also, of 3000, at Petras, under the com mand of diilereni ( icnerals, to besiege that fortress. As soon as the Creek gov ernment heard that the Egyptian lleet had (|uitted Alexandria, they sent part of their lleet to attack it, and to watch its motions, and very Livorable results were (•xpccied, since the troops w ho composed that expedition are an assembluge of A- rabs, Negroes, and Albanians. W'e like much the i'ollowing observa tions from a London Evening paper. 'I’hey do not exactly chime w iih those of the.

But they were of no great magnitude. On the 29th August, iicth Hayden, a native of our country, was assassinated iu his dwelling by a man who lied as soon as the deed was done, and whose name and residence remained unknown.

We are sorry to say that this commu nity, which has alwajs been distinguish ed for the purity of its morals, and for its domestic felicity and lepose, luis for the two last weeks been disturbed and dis harmonized by riot and rebellion. On Sunday evening last the centre of the town presented a scene of tumult and disorder, and a most furious riot took place between our black population, and a body (d’whites, which evvMituated in ihe loss of blood and rejnitation. On INlonday evening we were again thrown into a state of ccHifusion, l)v a simi lar transaction, dilfering only from that of Sunday evening, by its desolation and w icked cousecjuences.
