Interesting News front Europe.
Arrivals at Charleston and N. York have fur
nished English dates to the 3d of August. Their
•’'Contents are of more than ordinary interest. The
Coronation of the King took place pursuant to
previous notice, on the 19th of July. The Queen,
it seems, was true to her declaration, and punc
tually attended, but the door was most uncourte
bnsly shut in her face ! Our limits would not
permit us, were we disposed, to copy but a small
part of the detailed account of the ceremony as
furnished officially by the earl marshal, but we
have hastily collected a general outline of some
of the most prominent proceedings.
The day was remarkably fine, and no accident
occurred to mar the enjoyment of its festivities.
At 4 o’clock, it is said, “ the town was alive,”
and “ preparation’s note” became a “ busy hum.” j
The doors of the Hall were thrown open at that
early hour, and soon filled with the nobility and
gentry of both sexes, superbly attired. The heads
of the ladies were “ decorated with plumes, and
sparkled with diamonds and brilliants.” At C,
the Queen arrived in a state coach, drawn by six
horses, accompanied by Lord and Lady Hood,
and Lady Hamilton. The manner of her recep
tion is thus related in a London paper ;
“ Loud cries, which attracted the attention of
many persons in the hall, now resounded from
Palace yard ; u close the door” was shouted, with j
such extraordinary vehemence, and in such a
tone of alarm, that consternation spread through
the place ; every eye Was turned towards the
door, and immediately the shouts of the populace I
’Sieve heard ! What is the matter, was the general
inquiry ? The cries of “ close the door ” and the
shouts of the publick were repeated. That some
thing extraordinary had occurred, every person j
felt satisfied, and a general anxiety and suspicion !
prevailed. The cause of this singular circum
stance was soon made known. A gentleman be
longing to the press happened to be near the door,:
■when the occurrence took place, and his state
ment, which we believe to be authenlick is as
follows: “the door being open, and the yeomen
of the guard approaching it for the purpose of en
tering the Hall, “ The Queen ! the Queen!”
was shouted. The officers at the door immedi
ately held a consultation whether her majesty
should be admitted or not. Some said, “ Shall
we admit her?” while others said, No ! no!” and
immediately cried out, “ Close the door.” The
yeomen of the guard entering at. the moment an
officer said it was impossible to close the door
without shutting some of the yeomen out: Shut
them out,” was reiterated. The yeomen, howev
er, marched in, and an officer commanding some
of the troops near the doer gave the command for
a company of soldiers to file at the entrance,
which they did on the instant.
Her Majesty, it appears, came down to West
minster, with lord and lady Hood; his lordship
conducted her Majesty from her carriage towards
the Champion’s stable, where he found a gate,
but discovering that he had made a mistake, and
that there was no ingress to the \bbey in that di
rection, his lordship conducted her Majesty then,
towards the kitchens, where he again was inform
ed that he was not in the way leading to the lb
bey, he proceeded towards the platform, when
progress was impeded by an officer, who half drew
his sword, and demanded an authority for allow
ing them to pass; his lordship produced a ticket,
and the officer oowing very low, permitted her
Majesty and his Lordship to proceed towards the
Abbey. On her Majesty arriving at the 4hbey,
(and it was not her majesty’s intention to go to
the Hall, we are informed,) his Lordship was stop
ped at the door by an officer; his Lordship re
quested admission for himself and the Queen into
the Abbey. Ihe officer said that the orders he
had received to let uo person pass without tickets
were imperative; and that he could not allow
him to proceni further without proper authority.
Lord Hood produced a ticket of admission for
himsell, which hav.ng shown to the officer, again
requested to be allowed to enter the Abbey.
The Officer replied, that he (Lord Hood) was at
liberty to enter, but the lady could not pass with
out a ticket. Lord Hood replied that the lady
was her Majesty, and as Queen of England, she
had a right to enter. Her Majesty said, “ Yes,
I am your Queen ! I am your Queen !” The Offi
cer persisted in his refusal to let them pass, and
after a few words between the Queen and his
Lordship, they returned to the carriage and
amidst the shouts of the populace, drove away to
wards her Majesty’s house.
The necessary arrangements having been made
for going through the ceremony performed before
.the King, prior to his leaving the Hall to go to the
Abbey, the Lord Great Chamberlain and other
* officers who had assisted in attiring his majesty en
tered. The most breathless anxiety was evinced
by the audience, and they rose from their seats
by the throne on the King entering the Mall thro’
the door behind the throne. He was ushered to
liis seat on the throne by Lord Gwydyr. On his
Majesty entering he looked very pale ; and it was
remarked that he was exceedingly agitated. He
took his seat with the dignity becoming his high
Station, and waved his hand most gracefully right
and left as soon as he was seated. His Majesty
very soon recovered his wonted gaiety.
The dress ofhis Majesty was of the richest des
cription. He wore a black velvet hat, with a
large plume of white feathers flowing over the
top, out of the centre of which appeared a heron’s
feather. His nnder dress was while and silver
with white silk stockings, and while shoes and
tassels. He wore a large mantle of crimson vel
vet, which was covered with gold stars, the train
was supported by six pages. While Ihe Regalia
was being presented his Majesty bowed to the
persons who assisted in the ceremony, and during
l the time the procession was formed to proceed to
, the Abbey, his majesty conversed with his Pages
and others who surrounded him in the most affa
ble manner.
When the officers had presented the regalia to
the King, they retired backwards down the steps
from the royal platform, bowing as they retired.
When the Marquis of Anglesey received back the
crown, his Majesty addressed a few words to him
It was understood that he permitted him to walk
down the steps with his back towards his Majesty,
in consequence of the noble Marquis being lame
from the loss of a leg at Waterloo.
At a quarter past eleven o’clock, the greater
part of the procession had passed out the Hall;
and the canopy being raised by the Barons of the
Cinque Ports, and the Officers of State, Ac. being
ranged before the canopy in due form, the King
rose from his seat, and assisted by one of his min
isters, his train being supported, he walked down
the steps into the lower floor of the Hall and walk
•*d under the canopy for a short time ; after which
his Majesty walked before it, mid proceeded dur
ing the firing of cannon A (he enthusiaMick shouts
• f tin populace, to the Abbey. In the Hall no
expression of feeling was shown during the whole
ceremony
When the procession, which was long, and of
course very splendid, reached the Abbey, and the
previous ceremonies had been performed, prayers
were offered up, and a sermon delivered by the
Archbishop of Y ork ; after which the King, at
tended by his supporters, advanced to the altar,
kneeled upon a cushion, and laying his hand on
the Holy Gospels, took the Oath. Prayers were
Again read, and a hymn sung by the attendant
choir, when the ceremonies of anointing, and the
presentation of his majesty’s robe, spurs, sword,
ring, sceptre, &c. followed. The Archbishop of
Canterbury then took the crown into his hands,
I and having “ consecrated and blessed it with
prayer,” placed it upon his majesty’s head, while
, the cry of “ God save the King,” the sounding
of trumpets, the beating of drums, and the thun
der of cannon, “ made the welkin ring.” His
majesty was then enthroned,and the benedictions
pronounced, which were answered with a loud
“ Amen” by each peer. Anthems were sung, and
the archbishops and bishops kneeling dowD, were
severally kissed by the King ; and in return these
reverend prelates were permitted t® him “ the
left cheek” of their sovereign. The King’s bro
thers, preceded by the Duke of York, and follow
ed by all the peers, then knelt before him, pro
nounced the “ words of homage,” touched the
top of the crown, kissed the left cheek ofhis ma
jesty, and retired. The holy sacrament having
been administered to the king by the archbishop,
the procession returned to the Hall, and after de
positing the regalia, his majesty took his seat in
the chair of state at the dinner table. The Cham
pion of England appeared at the conclusion of the
first course, on horseback, in a complete suit of
bright armour, with bis esquires, trumpeters, Sic.
A herald then proclaimed,—“ If any person, of
what degree soever, high or low, shall deny or
gainsay that our sovereign lord and king George
IV., &c. to be right heir to the imperial crown of
this United Kingdom, or that he ought not to en
joy the same, here is his champion, who saith that
he lieth, and is a false traitor ; being ready in
person to combat with him, and in this quarrel
will adventure his life against him on what day
soever he shall be appointed.” The champion
then threw down his gauntlet, which nobody
choosing to take up, it was returned to him by
the herald. He then advanced to the centre of
the hall, and repeated the challenge, and again,
the third time, at the foot of the throne ; when
his majesty, seeing no one disposed to break a
spear with the steel-clad hero, drank to the cham
pion from a golden cup, and sent it to him by his
cup-bearer ; the champion having made a low
obeisance to the king, drank of the wine, and re
tired, carrying off the cup as his fee ! His ma
jesty’s Styles were then proclaimed in Latin,
French and English, and the ceremonies soon af
ter concluded.
The following was a part of the bill of fare serv
ed up at the coronation dinner :
Hot dishes. —lso tureens of soup, 160 dishes of
fish, 160 hot joints, 160 dishes of vegetables, 480
sauce boats.
Wines. —loo doz. Champaign, 350 doz. Port
and Sherry, and Burgundy, Hock, Moselle, Sic.
in proportion.
The King has since embarked for Ireland, and
it was expected that he would visit his Hanoveri
an dominions.
The Queen at the last dates was seriously indis
posed by an inflammation of the bowels. Regular
bulletins of her health were published. Her ma
jesty certainly was not poisoned at the corona
tion dinner !
THE GREEK WAR.
The affairs in European Turkey have assumed
; an additional interest, though no important facts
i in relation to the progress of hostillities are given.
; exoept that the Greeks had obtained two brilliant
; victories at sea. one in the gulf of Lepanfo, where
; the whole Turkish fleet was destroyed, and the
J other at the mouth of the Dardanelles, which
I eventuated in the capture of most of the Mahoio
j etatv squadron. The most shocking murders and
I outrages continue to be committed at Constanti
nople. A letter from that place mentions, that
the Morean Greeks, men, women and children,
are daily sacrificed to the vengeance of the popu
lace. They are brought there in vessels, tied to
gether in parcels of six persons, and thrown into
the sea ! Their dead bodies are carried to the
shore by the waves, and the Turks hurry to the
beach in crowds, for the purpose of cutting them
to pieces with their swords, and throwing the
fragments to the dogs ! The revolted Albanians
had so irritated the people, that the wealthy Turks
repaired to the markets, and paid a considerable
sum for the privilege of killing the Greeks, who!
were offered for sale as slaves,on condition of their
being carried to Asia. One hundred and fifty
young Greek females of distinction, whose parents
had been previously murdered, were exposed in
a puhlick market to the brutality of the mob,
and most of them had perished. The treatment
they experienced was of a nature too shocking to
be described. History scarcely affords a parallel
to the enormities committed by these ruthless bar
barians upon the innocent and unarmed victims
of their detestable cruelty. A fresh impulse
was given to their rage on the return of their fleet
in a shattered condition, from the battle at the
Dardanelles, and hundreds of defenceless Chris
tians were instantly sacrificed. The Jews arc
said to act as spies for the Turks, and carry their
enmity to every thing that bears the Christian
name, almost to as great a length as the Mussul
mans themselves. A number of unfortunate
Greeks had been betrayed into the hands of their
murderers by the perfidy of these miscreants.
The Greek forces had sustained no serious de- J
feat, and the revolt was fast extending itself. It
was reported that the Greeks had forced the pas- I
sage of the Dardanelles, and taken the new castle |
on the European shore. In such an event. Con- ■
stantinople will no doubt rt£eive an unwelcome
visit from their fleet.
The accounts respecting the interference of
: Austria and Russia, are extremely contradictory.
| The Russian ambassadour had quarrelled with the
Divan, and left the capital, advising his country
men in Turkey to prepare for an immediate dec
laration of war by their sovereign against the Porte.
It is even stated that a Russian army, 150.090
strong, had passed the frontier, and that the com
mander, Cotint Wittgenstien, had declared he
would be in Constantinople in two months. Oth
er accounts state that the Grand Seignor wiuild
make every concession, short of actual submis
sion, which Russia could demand ; knowing that
be had sufficient employment for all his resources
without contending with a foreign power ; and
that the conduct of the Russian minister was not
, approved of by the emperour. This, however,
‘ is denied in the German papers, and the inaction
of Russia imputed to the remonstrances of Eng- i
I land, Austria and France. These powers are un- j
’ willing that any additional territory should be ad- 1
ded to the gigantick empire of Alexander, and !
are disposed to thwart him in any designs which ;
be entertains of extending his power on the side j
. of Turkey. ,On this j object a London paper fur
: nishes the following information :
j “ The journey of Lord Walpole to Vienna has I
67
for its object, it is understood, to persuade Aus
tria to concur with ns in some measures for frus
trating the views of Russia with respect to Turkey.
France, it is said, is as much alarmed at the pres
ent aspect of affairs, as our government, and ready
to join with us and the government of Austria in
the above object. It is wished to endeavour to
prevent, if possible, the advance of a Russian ar
my on Constantinople, but at the same time to
withdlaw the Greeks from the dominion of the
Turks. At all events to obtain for the Greeks
the independent possession of the Morea and
the Greek islands.”
“ A Vienna article of the i9th July asserts on
the authority of letters from St. Petersburg!), that
the emperour of Russia had given a categorical
answer to the complaints of the Ottoman govern
ment against the Baron de Strongonoff, and had
demanded complete satisfaction for the insults of
fered to his ambassador, to be given within eight
days, otherwise the ambassador was to quit Con
stantinople, and the Russian troops were to enter
Moldavia. It is added that all the Russian gene
rals had received sealed orders which they were
to open on a certain day.”
When the disturbances in European Turkey
first pommcnced, an opinion ws generally enter
tained in Europe,that the insurrection was planned
and conducted by a few desperate men who had
private injuries to avenge, or who were led by a
Quixotic spirit to attempt the accomplishment of
a design which required the ablest heads and the
stoutest hearts; and which could not then be ef
fected without the aid of exterior force. Russia
and Austria having disclaimed all intention to tske
part with the insurgents, but little expectation
was indulged that the Turkish authority over
any part of Greece would be either destroyed or
abridged ; on the contrary, it seemed the most
rational to conclude, that this attempt to obtain
their freedom would bring upon the Greek insur
gents the most terrible vengeance, and, if possible,
produce a still more degrading state of subjection.
It appears, however, that the present contest orig
inated from other causes than those generally sup.
pused, and that all the principal Greeks have
long been watching for a favourable opportunity
to effect their liberation from a power which they
feared and execrated. An article has been trans
lated into the American papers, from the True
Liberal, a French publication, the writer of which
asserts, that a project for emancipating Greece
from Turkish thraldom, was formed between Bo
naparte and some distinguished individuals of that
nation, in the year 1811, when the French em.
perour was in the zenith of his power. The plan
appears to have been to establish a Greek king
dom, on the throne of which one of Bonaparte’s
brothers was to be placed. Emissaries were sent
into every part of the country, and arms and am
munition secretly distributed. The Greeks were
to rise simultaneously at a given signal, and a
large French and Italian army, already embodied
for the purpose, was to march to their assistance
from Venice and Dalmatia. The scheme was on
the eve of being put in execution, when Russia,
grown tired of the restrictive system, threw open
her ports to English commerce. The destruction
of the French army in the war which immediately
followed, and the consequent dethronement of
Bonaparte, destroyed all the hopes which the
Greeks entertained of assistance fiuvn France.—
The Porte discovered the plot, and all implicated
in it, who did not seek refuge in foreign countries,
were sacrificed. In 1814, a Society was formed
jin Paris, called the Helena , having professedly
! for its object the promotion of literature and sci-
I ence ; but its proceedings were all published in
i modem Greek , and its purpose was soon discover
j ed to be the propagation of liberal principles. —
The young Greeks abroad were among its most
I active members ; and a fund was secretly accu
| mutated to be employed in the regeneration of
i Greece. Whether the secret motives of this So
■ ciety were fully understood by Russia and Aus
| tria we arc not informed ; and we are equally
j in the dark as to the real intentions of those pow
j ers in regard to the insurrection when it first com-
I ruenced ; but (he barbarous policy of the Turks
; seems to have aroused Russia, if the latest ac
j counts can be depended on, to a determination
ito espouse the cause ot the oppressed. Had the
| Porte been less cruel and vindictive in its meas
j uresto suppress the revolt, Alexander would have
i been dei re. and of a very reasonable pretext for
Jpourinirui ! s ‘egions upon the Turkish territories;
j and the Greeks, left to contend single-handed
I against the whole Mahomedan power, and hope-
I less of succour from abroad, must have eventual
ily sunk under the struggle. But, whom God in
tends to destroy he first makes mad. —The horrid
and unnatural cruelties exercised by the Turks
upoft the innocent and unoffending, their threats
| to exterminate all the Christians of the empire,to
[ gether with the haughty replies which have been
i made to the remonstrances of foreign ambassadors
in relation to these barbarities, will, we have little
, doubt, stimulate the neighbouring powers to take
’ such measures as must eventuate in the complete
annihilation of the Turkish power in Europe.—
i Will Russia look idly on, while the savage and
besotted followers of the great impostor are butch
ering, without mercy and without necessity, an
innocent and oppressed people, who have been
long borne down to the very dust by the most
ruthless and abominable tyranny that ever cursed
the earth ?—a people who have seen the purity
of their altars and firesides insultingly violated—
the ministers of their religion torn from the sanc
tuary, inhumanly bung, and their bodies throws
to the dogs !—a people who have seen their wives
and daughters dragged away to minister to the
infamous pleasures of their brutal tyrants!—will
Russia suffer 6iich a people, worshipping the same
God, and professing the same faith with herself,
to be tbuß barbarously sacrificed, without inter
posing a portion of her immense power to shield
them from destruction ? And will Austria, will
France, and, above all, will England attempt to
| prevent such interference, in the present condi
! tion of the Greek people ? Surely every feeling
!of humanity must cry out against that cold
j hearted selfishness which would prompt to such
j a course ; and we sincerely hope that nei-
I ther their remonstrances or their threats will pre
i vent the Russian emperour from putting an end to
the dreadful barbarities which are now perpetra
trated both by the oppressors and the oppressed
lin the Turkish provinces. It is a duty which he
| owes to that God who has given him the means,
i and to that world over so great a portion of which
j he sways the rod of empire.
STILL LATER FROM ENGLAND.
DEATH OF THE QUEEN.
After our paper was nearly arranged for the
press on Saturday, we received the N. York Spec
tator of Sept. 18, containing extracts from London
papers to the 14th August. We have only room
to mention the most important items of intel
ligence which are given.
The Queen of England died on the evening
of the 7th of August, after an illness of about
eight days. Her disorder was an obstruction of
the bowels, ending in mortification. She was
sensible to the last—gave directions for her in
terment, and requested that her body might not
be opened after death. A few hours before her
decease she said to a female attendant, “ The
doctors do not understand my malady ; it is here,
(laying her hand ‘on her heart,) but I will be
silent ; my lips shall never make it known.”—
She expressed a wish when first attacked, that
her disorder might lay herself and her sorrows to
gether in the tomb. “ Why do you wi'h me t 0
live, (she observed on one occasion) life to me
can be nothing but a series of persecutions and
sorrows ; I shall be happier in another world than
in this.” She said that her enemies had been for
years plotting to destroy her, “ At last [said she]
they have destroyed me, but 1 forgive them— l die
in peace with all the world.” The accounts state
that though she evidently died,heart-broken,from
a recollection of the injuries she had received, she
uttered not a word of reproach against any indi
vidual. The English Court had gone into mourn
ing, and the shutting of the shops almost univer
sally in London when her death was announced,
attested the respect and affection of the people.
The King was on his visit to Ireland.
The accounts relating to Greece afford the'most
shocking details of barbarity. The Turkish sol
diery had cut off the noses and ears of such of the
Wallachians as fell into the their hands, and com
mitted other horrible excesses. They had
defeated two small parties of Greeks in Moldavia,
but the latter were, on the whole, evidently gain,
ing ground.
1 he Russian army had not crossed the frontiers,
but the men were constantly deserting to the
Greek standard. The treops are extrme
ly anxious to march against the Turks, and the
Emperor Alexander had suddenly left St. Peters
burg!) for the Turkish frontier, and his arrival
would probably be the signal for hostillities. It
was reported at Vienna that war had already been
declared—that it was determined on, little doubt
was entertained. The redress demanded for the
Greeks by Russia had been refused by the Turk
ish government.

last date: no new case of malignant fever having
occurred for three days previous. Many of the

’ From the Richmond Enquirer, Sept. 8.
The Prevailing Disease.
We are visited in this neighbourhood, viz. on
both sides of James river, in and around New
• Canton, with a most severe, and 1 might add ma
lignant fever, which appears in most cases highly
hilious, inflammatory and nervous ; or rather
tending to, and terminating in the latter. Itcom
i mences with a pain in the head and sick stomach,
. and sometimes with a chill, and always attended
i with one at some period or another of its progress.
There is scarce a family or a member of a family
: exempt ; not a sufficient number scarcely to
■ i bring water for the afflicted, which is all they seem
, to desire, and that generally forbidden. Fortu
nately, if a great calamity could possibly be spok
en of, their sick stomachs loathe and reject every
thing like food, or there hardly would be a suffi
cient number well to cook for the sick. The most
unfortunate attendant on this billious nausea is, !
that, in many instances, it will not peimit the j
stomach to retain the necessary medicines.
The practice of our physicians has been first an |
emetick, then copious doses of calomel and jalap, |
and in some cases of inflammatory symptoms, j
blood letting ; and as the billious symptoms seem .
!to disappear, more gentle cathartics. But these
i last bilious symptoms are most obstinate, and at- j
! teuded with the most frequent relapses ever
known, and these generally more severe than the
1 original attacks, and every repetition more se
vere than the preceding.
Travelling strangers have beeu struck down on
the road, and compelled to add themselves to the
numbers of the afflicted in some of our own fami
lies. In such cases, and all others of distrtss, wc :
should hold hi remembrance the parable of the
good Samaritan, and endeavour to practice on
the benevolent precepts of our holy Master.
Essex, alias Jack Lewis. —lt is stated in the
Augusta Herald, that on the 10th inst. parties of
citizens in Burke county had assembled at differ
ent points, embracing a circumference of 15 miles
in which it was supposed the murderer was, and
closed to the centre, but that he had escaped, and
it was impossible to find his track. Seventeen
subscription papers have been distributed in Burke
and Richmond counties, for the purpose of rais
ing a sufficient reward to stimulate exertions for
his apprehension.
The last time he was seen, he was in company
with a driven by a black man, near Gen.
Walker’s in Richmond county, going to Augusta.
The following is given as an additional description
of bis person :
“ Jack is country born, about 6 feet high, stout
form, very black, and is gifted with uncommon j
bodily power ; when he walks he steps far, and
bends a little ; his countenance is not bad, and
he is very artful. It is probable Jack will have a
pass, written in a hand resembling that of a school
boy.” Georgian, j
Fortunate.— On board one of the sloops lost in
the late gale, was a lad, son of Mr. Smith, of
Cheapside street, who was returning home, after
an excursion of pleasure, to resume his studies.
The news of his loss soon reached his parents,who
were overwhelmed with grief. The wreck float
ed on the beach at Rockaway, and in the hinna-!
cle, safely stewed, Smith was found safe,!
drenched with wet, an starved. His return
home, as may well bf; imagined, was unlooked
for, and diffused grt/* joy- It was a Providential
