Incidents in and near London. 
[Dec. 1, 
Prince Demetrius Ypsilanti has put an end 
to the species of war which existed be¬ 
tween the Senates of Calmata and Modou. 
RUSSIA. 
Recent advices received from St. 
Petersburgh, announce, that notwith¬ 
standing the colouring given to the 
negociations carrying on, war between 
Russia and Turkey is inevitable. The 
greatest care has been taken to disguise 
the real intentions of the Emperor, so 
as to make the professions he has so re¬ 
peatedly uttered to the States of Europe 
hide the secret policy by which his 
Councils are actuated; but liis journey 
to the head-quarters of his army, the 
great stir in the War Department, the 
extensive preparations made, and, 
above all, the state of public opinion in 
Russia, warrant the conclusion that it 
is no longer in the power of the Empe¬ 
ror himself to stop the enterprise. 
We give place to the preceding para¬ 
graph, but as the cause of the Greeks 
is considered as identified with that of 
Liberty and Jacobinism, a lukewaym 
and even hostile feeling towards them 
is believed to actuate many cabinets, 
and to counterbalance the policy of the 
Russian government, and the generous 
feelings of the people in the east ol 
Europe.

CHRONOLOGY OF THE MONTH. 
Oct. A PUBLIC meeting was held at 
25. the City of London Tavern, for 
promoting a subscription to indemnify Sir 
Robert Wilson. The Marquis of Tavistock, 
the Hon. H. Grey Bennett, Mr. Lambton, 
Sir F. Burdett, and several other public 
characters, nominated as a committee to 
co-operate w ith the Southwark committee. 
The subscription proceeds well; but the 
greater claims of the families of Honey and 
Francis are cruelly neglected. 
— 26. At a Court of Common Council 
held this day, a resolution was passed “ to 
present the thanks of the Court and the 
freedom of the City, in a gold box, value 
one hundred guineas, to Joseph Hume, 
Esq. for his parliamentary exertions to 
reduce the public expenditure, and his 
indefatigable labours for the introduction 
of practical economy. 
Nov. 3. A fire broke out on the premises 
of Mr. George Hoppe, corn-merchant, in 
Old Gravel-lane, Wapping. The flames 
communicated to the granary, and consum¬ 
ed the Whole, and materially damaged the 
adjoining houses. 
— 8. The King arrived in town from 
Hanover, after a very satisfactory journey. 
— 9. Alderman Mag nay sworn in Lord 
Mayor. The only difference in the civic 
procession from that of former years, was 
the omission of obnoxious soldiers and of 
men in armour. 
— 15. Mary Ann Carlile, tried in July 
last at Guildhall, for publishing a libel, w T as 
this day brought up for judgment in the 
Court of King’s Bench. Mr. Justice Bayley 
pronounced a very severe sentence, as fol¬ 
lows :—“ That you, Mary Ann Carlile, do 
pay to the King a fine of £500.; and that 
you be imprisoned in Dorchester gaol, for 
a period of twelve months ; that at the ex¬ 
piration of that time, you do find sureties 
for your good behaviour during five years. 
yourself in £1000. and two other persons in 
£100. each.” A fine of £5001. on a 
wretched female, probably not worth as 
many farthings, seems to be contrary to 
the spirit of our law, and particularly to a 
clause in the Bill of Rights. It is true the 
object is obnoxious, but against such feel¬ 
ings the administration of the law ought to 
be on its guard. If not remitted, it seems 
equivalent to a sentence of perpetual im¬ 
prisonment. 
— 16. The Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, and 
Aldermen, presented the addresses to the 
King, to both of which his Majesty re¬ 
turned suitable answers. 
— 24. The King’s Bench sentenced 
Messrs. Shackell and Arrowsmith, for a 
libel on the late Lady Wrottesley, in the 
John Bull newspaper, to nine months’ im¬ 
prisonment, and a fine of £500. each ; and 
Weaver, the printer, to a like imprison¬ 
ment, and a fine of £100., with securities 
for good behaviour for five years. 
— 26. The same Court sentenced the 
Rev. Richard Blacow, for a libel on the 
late Queen, in a sermon at Liverpool, to 
six months’ imprisonment, and a fine of 
£100., with securities for good behaviour 
for five years It also sentenced Williams, 
Mayor of Chester, to six mouths’ imprison¬ 
ment and a fine of £1000. for partiality 
during the last city election. 
The same day accounts received of con¬ 
tinued disturbances in the county of Lime¬ 
rick, and of the horrid massacre ot a mid¬ 
dle-man, his wife, children, and friends, 
to the number of seventeen persons.
