Nafplio falls to the Greek rebels on…

Okhotsk is ranked just after Barnaul as the neatest, cleanest and most pleasant town in Siberia, according to the observations of the English traveler Captain John Dundas Cochrane in 1822.

An illegitimate son of Scottish adventurer Andrew Cochrane-Johnstone, Cochrane comes from a large and adventurous family—he is a cousin of Admiral Thomas Cochrane, 10th Earl of Dundonald, and nephew of Admiral Sir Alexander Forrester Inglis Cochrane.

John Dundas Cochrane has crossed France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Russia and Asia to Kamchatka on foot, hence his nickname of the "Pedestrian Traveller" ("voyageur pédestre" in France).

He marries Ksenia Ivanovna Loginova (1807-1870) in 1822; she is an adoptive daughter of Admiral Pyotr Rikord, the Russian governor of Kamchatka.

Honga Hika leads his force up the Waikato River where, after initial success, he is defeated in early 1822 by Te Wherowhero, before gaining another victory at Orongokoekoea.

Te Wherowhero ambushes the Ngāpuhi carrying Ngāti Mahuta women captives and frees them.

The Mermaid had been grounded in 1820.

Philip Parker King's fourth voyage is undertaken in the one hundred and fifty-four-ton sloop HMS Bathurst.

The ship heads north, through Torres Strait and to the northwest coast of the continent.

Further survey of the west coast is made after a visit to Mauritius.

Valuable contributions have been made to the exploration of Australia.

Governor Macquarie had resigned in 1821 partly due to undermining forces within his own government.

His replacement, Thomas Brisbane, has different views through which he begins asserting his authority.

Under Brisbane's hand settlement laws are changed leading to a flood of land grants across the Blue Mountains.

An enormous influx of the British onto the Wiradjuri lands puts great strain on traditional food sources, and destroys some of the Wiradjuri social and sacred sites.

In response, the Wiradjuri resistance is born.

Well aware that they have no chance against guns, they adopt a guerrilla-warfare approach, in which attacks are made against outlying and undefended stations.

The Marquess of Hastings, Governor General of India, appoints John Crawford British envoy to Siam in 1822, but his negotiations prove fruitless.

A number of governments have treated Freemasonry as a potential source of opposition due to its secret nature and international connections.

After the founding of modern speculative Masonry in England in 1717, several Protestant states had restricted Masonic lodges: the Netherlands banned the lodge in 1735; Sweden and Geneva, in 1738; Zurich, in 1740; and Berne, in 1745.

Catholic Spain, Portugal, France and Italy had attempted to suppress Freemasonry after 1738.

Bavaria followed in 1784; Austria, in 1795; Baden, in 1813; Russia, in 1822.

Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz publishes his first volume of poetry, a collection largely containing ballads and romances expressing the cause of Polish nationalism, in 1822.

Coffee is longer banned in Sweden as of 1822.

The ban has been renewed multiple times since the government once again tried to impose a ban on coffee in 1794, but it has never been successful in stamping out coffee-drinking.

With the ban lifted, coffee will become a dominant beverage in Sweden, which is today one of the countries with the highest coffee consumption per capita.

The Greek rebellion shocks the Porte, which will no longer appoint Phanariote princes to the Wallachian and Moldavian thrones and will choose instead native Romanians.
