Her friends having got this done, a person of the name of Thompson cal ling himself an authorised agent of gov ernment, and who was waiting at Chelms ford for the purpose, caused the plate to b removed, and another put on, more congenial with the feelings of his employ eri.3 When her Majesty's executors, and personal friends, implored Lord Liver- j pool to give a few days indulgence before re.nvinL'the body, in order that prepa rations miht be made to show their re spect for her memory, that haughty no tlemen refused compliance, and sheltered ; Jr.mself under the plea, that " it was j had taken place against the town, which ler .Majesty's express will that her body has a strong fortress, and is held by the should be removed in three days !" and i Turks ; nor had any attach been made up that the kin had ordered this will to be on the Mahomedan vessels in the road at strict v complied with in every particular. 1 Why, therefore, washer wishes, as to the J June, were also in possession of Pa Cofiin plate, not respected with the same trass and the surrounding country.

Nat. Adiocate. The King made his public entry into Dublin on the 17th of August. It was the most brilliant pageant ever witnessed there. A splendid procession having ar rived at the Park, the King entered an cpen carriage, drawn by 8 beautiful hor ses, led by his grooms and attended by a numerous train of footmen in magnificent liveries ; he was dressed in a full milita ry uniform, decorated with the order and ribbons of St. Patrick. On his left arm he wore a crape.

TURKISH, GREEK, AND RUSSIAN i AFFAIRS. A correspondent, who has had the per usal of receut files of Paris and London papers has enabled us to furnish our rea ders with the following account of the posture of public concerns with respect to European Turkey. On the 19th of May last a Turkish squadron, composed of one ship of 86 guns, three frigates of 36, and , two brig antines of 12 guns, sailed from Constan tinople for the Grecian Archipelago. The squadron was to have been reinfor ced in a few days by another ship of 86 guns, and a corvette of 26. This naval force was placed uuder the command of rear-admiral Tombek-Zade-Alv-Bev. .Having passed the Dardanelles, the Turkish squadron was fallen in with by a Greek fleet of about 100 sail, in the vi cinity of the Island of Tenedos, and driv en within the castles of the Straits. On this occasion, one of the Mahorneden two deckers for fear it should fall into the hands of the Greeks, was' by the crew ran on shore and burnt. The Greek fleet continued to lie off Tenedos, block ading the Dardanelles, but not venturing to enter fearing the battel ies of the cas ties. On the northern part of land at the en trance of the Gulph of Lepanto, stands the town of the same name, before which about the middle of June last, lay a Greek squadron of 23 sail; but no operations that time. The Turks, oh the 22d of they are generally in want of corn, and. if not relieved in that particular may be compelled to yield from famine. An at tack was expected at Patrass from the Greeks, in which event the bashaw had notified the consuls there that he should set fire to the few remaining houses and retire to the fortress. From the Gulph of Arcadia ,to the mouth of the Gulf of Venice, off the wes tern coast of the Morea and Greece prop er, lie the Ionian Islands, which under the name of the " United Ionian States," are governed by the British. The gov ernment is exercised by a lord high com missioner, and the laws, are enacted by a senate and assembly, which form an Ion ian parliament. By two acts of 'this Le gislature, the one passed on the 27th of March, and the other on the 5th of April, of the present year, both published in the London Morning Chronicle of the 24th of July, it would appear that tlie spirit of revolution prevaded even the inhabi tants of these islands; whence it seems that the British sway is not more palata ble to the Greeks than of the Musselmen. The former of these acts provides for establishing a tribunal for the trial of all persons accused of high treason, and Other crimes against the state, and for regulating the proceedings to be pursued of such cases.' The offences to be tried are 44 seditious speeches against the gov ernment of the states, or defamation of the lord high commissioner, and mera bersof the senate & assemblv. The tri bunal is in the nature of a court martial, and the rules of its proceedings being ve ry similar, and the time allowed the ac cused for defence being as short as possi ble. The act otjhe 5tb of April has been expressley framed on account of 44 the state of agitation and uncertainty now existing in the neighbouring coun tries, and in consequence of the geograph ical position of the Ionian Islands." The first article, or section, gives to "the president and regent in each of the isl ands of Cephalonia, Zante, Santa Maura, Ithaca, Cengo, and Paxo, the power, whenever they think it necessary, to pro claim martial law, in any part, district, wiumJjC ui uicjc iiauu9 anu iu carry it into immediate execution." The second section authorizes the local go or village of these islands vernments, 44 whenever thev shall deem muU or disorder, to send a body of. troops to any particular place, and compel the ranaoiianis 10 give uuaucis iu me troops, and to levy and exact, in a summary manner, from the place, district, city, or village, the whole of the expense of pro visions, and every other incidental charge, j during the time the troops are employ ed.'' Such are the consequences of Brit ish authority and protection in the 44 Uni ted Ionian States !" ' The outrages at Smyrna appear not to have been countenanced by the Tur kish officers ; but to have been the ef fect of a phrenzied mob, acting from the impulse of religious prejudicis and feel ings of revenge. " ' We pass from Asia Minor, the Archi palago, and the Ionian Sea, to Wallachia and Moldavia. Ypsilanti, who began his career in Moldavia, was compelled to leave Jassy in consequence of victories gained by the Turks at Galaez and Dragascham. He retreated upon Wallachia, fighting; and the Greeks are represented to have ob tained some advantages in the conflict of Focsiang, a frontier town of that prov ince, which, however could have availed them but little, as on the 17th of June, Y psilanli, after a defeat of his brother Nicholas at Bevka, retired, with about 9,000 men, to the environs of Ribnik, in the north part of Wallachia. In an ar ticle from Vienna, under date of the 10th of July, it is stated that letters worthy of credit, of the 20th and 21st June from Bucharest, mentioned that the Greeks had sued for an amnesty, which the Tur kish Pacha was willing to grant to all who laid down their arras. Prince Cillima cha, a Greek, and caimakan of the new hospodar, was Governor of Bucharest in Wallachia. This province has suffered severelv. The losses of landholders on ly are reckoned at fifty millions of dol lars and the higher clergy, the men of talents and of wealth, have been chiefly massacred. The revolutionary army was origin ally composed of hetrogeneous raateri rials; first, of the Greeks who assem bled at Jassay, and at other points of Moldavia, as soon as the hospedur had declared for Ypsilanti ; secondly, of a corps of Albanians, commanded by Ca ininar Sawa, who joined Ypsilanti when he entered : Wallachia ; and thirdly, of theiPandours, who, as soon as their cir Theodore had been put to death, like wise united themselves to Ypsilanti. Af ter the affair of Cragaschan, Camina Sa wa entered into negociatious with the Turks, and joined them with part of his Albauians ; and when the Greeks lost the'battle of Beyka, in which Nicholas Ypsilanti had been nearly made prison er, the remainder of the Albanians and the Pandours likewise went over to the' Turkish side. Such are the accounts, collected from French and English journals, to the lat ter end of July last. The same papers throw considerable light on the dispute between the sublime Porte and the Rus-, sian minister. ' The Russians have, according to con vention stipulations with the Turks en joyed the privilege of passing, in their merchant vessels, with grain, from the Black Sea, through the Dardanelles to the Grecian Archipelago, the Turkish author ities furnishing them, for that purpose, with firmans or passports. The divan, conceiving that the Greeks in the islands and in the Morea would derive supplies from the ports of the Black Sea, through the medium of these Russian merchant men, laid an embargo on vessels arriving at the sea of Marmora from the coun tries above it, and " particularly refused passports to the Amiable Sophia, Capt. Capella, and Camilla, Captain Ferault, two Russian vessels, laden with wheat and barley, and bound down the Straits of Constantinople, Against this inter ruption of the trade, especially of that from Odessa, baron Strogonoff, the Rus sian minister, sharply remonstrated : But the: divan, presevering in their policy gave hini no satisfactory answer. The Turks assert, that the majority of foreign minis ters at the Porte, including the British ambassadors, recognise Vith more or less reserve, the right of the Turkish govern ment to enforce the embargo in question. Baron Strogonoff, however, thought dif ferently, and, on the 12lh of May, sent in a harsh note to the sublime Porte, ac cusing it of a flagrant breach of commer cial conventions. This he followed up with an order of the same date, addres sed to the Russian chancery of commerce a: Constantinople, in which after sta ting the futility ot his efforts to bring the Ottoman government to a sense of justice, and that he had been compelled to lay the fact before the Emperor of Russia, he advices the masters and supercargoes of vessels arriving and being refused pass ports; to make protests and eater a xaem orandum of losses sustained by the de- . tention, with a view to future indemnifi- ; canon. In the concluding paragraph of this or der, the baron says, " as to the Russian grain on! board of foreign vessels, and foreign property on board of Russian ves sels, you wiir follow the rule that the car go is covered by the flag.." This is worthy of particular notice, as a practi cal illustration of the principle of the arm ed neutrality of 1730, and 180oJ in botlj of which the sovereign! of Russia was a leading party. The principle, However, has been; distinctly and forcibly opposed by Great Britain ; but it is maintained, where practicable by the U. States. V Upon jthe intimation of this state of things to the governor of Odessa, by Bar on Strogonoff, an official notification was issued from that place on the 6th of June, to the Rpssian merchants at Odessa, in forming them that the baron had advised the Russian merchants established at Constantinople to put their affairs provis ionally in order, and to secure their propV erty, so hat they might not be taken by surprise ;by a government which! no lon ger regarded any measures in its conduct. Baron Strogonoff had previously leftsthe Turkish metropolis for the country. ms tetter to the government of Odessa is dated at : Bujukdere, on the 29th Under the head of Constantinop of May. June the 12lhj it is said that the effecjs of the baron hve been detained and that a strict eye is kept upon him to prevent his final departure. In the mean time, the divan had despatched two couriers direct ly to the Emperor Alexander j himself, and their return, it is alleged, will decide the important affair. Subsequent accounts, which however require confirmation, men tion a declaration of war by Russia. ! THE QUEEN. f i i " I desire to be buried inBrunswicli" Foul persecution's prey, betrayed, beliedj She Hoed in misery, and so isAe died; But like the hero of the elder time, Her spirit spoke, & thus abjured our clime: 1 The tears and sighs, the broken hearted owns,, i ' Be thine but not. oh cruel land my bones." From the Liverpool Advertiser, Aug'. 21. The mortal remains of 44 Caroline op Brunswick, the injured Queen! op-England," -are now on their way to the tomb of her fathers. Six and twenty years ago, the Chronicler of that day, an noun ced,- That Caroline of Brunswick,' the in tended consort of the heir apparent to the crown of England, full of youthful gaity and joyful expectations, had sailed for the land of her adoption, to receive and confer on her approaching union as much happiness as honor and wealth can im part.. How striking the contrast, and to what a train of melancholy reflections does it give rise. What were her expec- tationsonthe morning of life, collected from her own words. may oe On . her arrival at St. James7,' and in answer to the glowing bursts of spontaneous loyalty with which she was hailed, she said, 44 Believe me, I feel very happy and de lighted to seethe good and brave people of England the best nation upon eatth." How soon this brilliant '.sun of early ex pectation became overclouded, jt is not necessary for us to tell, and as ilittle ne cessary is it to say how, altera, course, performed through storms- and troubles, it set in a night of thick darkness. 1 he heart that can contemplate this wreck of human hopes, without emotion, is more or less immoral. Tuesday last'was the day appointed by govern nient for the removal of her majes ty's body from Brandenburgh louse. Her executors and the officers of her household, male and female, had pressed most earnestly for the delay of a day or two, in Order to make suitable tions for the solemn ceremony, prppata but the answer given to their applications, was that the resolution to remove the body on that day was 4 irrevocable.' A wish,was then expressed in the same quarter, that the procession might be unattended by militaryjas it was apprehended, and with too much reason, as the event has proved, that the most serious consequences might arise from their presence ; but the reso lution to place a guard of honor over the Queen when 3he was dead, though no such honor had been done to her when living, was also irrevocable, and: in the face of all warning and admonition, Lord Liverpool, acting as he. averredj by di rection of the King, sent soldiers to the funeral. 1 The third ?nd last point urged upon Ministers, was, that they would al low thefuneral procession of this illustri ous lady to pass through the city of Lon don, which was the direct way to the place of embarkation, in order that the , and the great might enjoy the mournful gratification of paying a last tribute of respect to the memory of their departed Queen ; but this request, most reasonable as it was, , was also refused, and it Was determined to hurry the pro cession through an obscure and circuitous route, in opposition to the public will, and for no other reason that can be dis covered, but to shew that the same spi rit of jealous apprehension, which bad envied her Majesty every mark of public honor and respect when living, was still in active exercise, and pursuing her with inabating rigor even to the tomb. Un der these inauspicious circumstances, and in opposition to a solemn protest made by both the learned gentlemen named in her Majesty's will as her executors, the body was removed from Brandenburgh house on Tuesday morning, and proceeded on the preposterous route marked out by ministers, attended by a body of soldiers. The public feeling was strongly exci ted by these posthumous indignities, and as might have been foreseen, an attempt was made by the assembled thousands to direct the procession through the city of. London, instead of skirting its extremi ties. The first, effort made by the popu lace was unsuccessful, but another attempt to diverge was made by the undertaker, and his train, at Hyde Park corner, and in some degree with success. A consid erable augmentation to the military, . both horse and foot, was how made ; the popu lace had also increased in number and in confidence, and at Cumberland gatef leading out of Hyde Pajk, into Oxford st. a conflict arose, in which some lives were lost, -and a number of persons were wounded. The procession still kept on its way down Edgeware road, towards the suburbs, buf when they arrived op posite Tottenham court road, all the out lets, except those which led to the city wer so completely blocked up by cartsf waggons and other vehicles, that the far ther, advance ot the procession was com pletely arrested, and they were obliged to pass down Drury Lane into the Strand, and from ther.ee through the city of Lon dort There was in the metropolis, we believe, only one opinion about the con duct of Ministers on this occasion. In every quarter it was loudly condemned, and even where there was a difference of opinion as to their behaviour to the Queen when living, their conduct towards her in the last awful ceremony, called down upon them universal reprobation. The Qufen, peace be, with her depar ted spirit, is now beyond the reach of the shafts of her enemies. Up to the very day that her remains quitted the shores of Britain; 44 the brave people of Eng land" justified the favorable opinion she had expressed of them when she first landed irt their country. In no other na tion in Europe would so much constancy and public devotion have been exhibited toward one so incapable of cornering re wards, and so persecuted by powerful en-, emies; but justice requires that we should add, and we make the admission) with humiliation, that by no other ministers of state in the world, those of George IV. alone excepted, .would a princess so much wronged, and of such distinguished mag- nanimity, nave been overwhelmed ana precipitated intdlhe grave by such an ac cumulation of indignities and persecu tions. Contrary tp the dying request of the Queen and the wishes of her legally ap pointed executors, who were making suit able preparations for her funeral, the go verniiient appointed Mr Bailey conduc tor of the luneral ceremony. On the body of her Majesty being demanded of the executors, Dr. Lushington spoke to the following effect " Sir George Nayler and Mr. Bailey, you know what has' already 'taken place upon the subject of her late Majesty's in- . terment ; you know what has been the expressed wish of her Majesty's Execu tors upon the necessity of delay, for the purpose of making preparations for so long a journey ; : and also upon the dis graceful conduct that has been persisted in by; his Majesty's government (in such direct opposition to the known will of her late majesty) in forcing into the funeral procession a great body of soldiers. I enter my solemn protest against the re moval of her Maiesty's body, in right or the legal power which is vested in me by. her late M a lest v as executor, rroper. arrangements for the funeral, and the long journey, and voyage by sea, have not been made j there has not been time for it : and I command that the body be oot removed till ihe arrangementg, suita ble to the. rank and dignity of the de ceased are made.
