We have received Brussels rapers to the 18th inst. and the ihrstrianObserver of the Btla.The former contain com munications from Jassy, which explain what the Porte understands by the evacuation of Moldavia and Walla chia. It is not the removal of every Turkish soldier from those Principalities, but only of " those troops which were not thought necessary to maintain public tranquil-' lity in the interior." This, it is said, has been done; bat go Anima as the individual whose judgmenewarto be exercited on this occasion, was the Turkish Aga, he may have retained, as necessary to maintain public tranquillity, all the troops required to keep complete possession of those provinces. In such a case, the evacuation would be merely nominal, and could only be viewed by Russia as an attempt at delusion. The Austrian Observer 'an nounces that an extraordinary Council was held at Con stantinople on the 27th of November, at which the SUL TAN assisted. Many important points, " partly military and partly political," are said to have been. discussed, and the whole terminated by orders being issued for the stricter observance of religious ceremonies in all the Mosques. The same Paper contends, that though the Turkish fleet effected nothing, and was worsted in se- veral encounters, it only lost half a dozen vessels by the Greek fire-ships, and that " the situation of the Empire, though in many respects critical, was by no means desperate." This is a very strong admission to be made by so zealous and constant a friend of the Turks, and is; nowise qualified by the subsequent as sertion that the Egyptian armament was in the best con dition, and seemed disposed to effect a landing on. the Morea, or, if it were too late,, would winter in Candia. The French Paper s of Friday, and the Etoik of Satur day, have reached us. They contain no domestic intel ligence of any interest. The pole of the KING'S car riage broke last ThUtsday, on one of the quays, but his MAJESTY and the DAUPHIN, by whom he was accom panied, Here not butt by the accident, and are said to have been highly gratified by the deep anxiety which the people displayed about their safety. The accounts from Spain, in the form of correspondence, are of some interest. The occupation of lvica by Constitutionalists is doubted. Bards of Constitutional Guerillas ark stated to have spread alarm in EAramadura and Ga.. licia. In connection with this, it is asserted that orders have been sent to the French troops to halt, as they are not to return, even in part, to France. This we also think doubtful. At Cadiz, a Military Commission had sentenced a Spaniard to strangulation for having assassinated a French soldier, and the sentence had been carried into execution. _ _ _ These Papers state, that a Lord GORDON (probably l Colonel GORDO)4 had arrived at Napoli di Romania,. with a hundred embroidered banners, sent to the Greeks by distinguished Scotch Ladies. They also add, that 40 young English volunteers had repaired to the same city. The intelligence from Constantinople comes down to the 13th ult. and states that IBRAHIM PACHA had quitted the bay of Helicarnassus with the iutention of attempt ing a landing on the Nlurea. The Greeks, aware of the impending danger, are said to have drawn thirty ships from their station at Ipsara, and to have sent them to ei nfoi ce their squadron - before Paras. A letter. from Constantlsople, dated Nov. 11, says, that they had alrea.ly had few skirmishes with the Egyptian fleet, since it had left Ilelicatuassus, and had succeeded in burning two corvettes. The Sultana 11Eitt A 4, sister to the unfortunate Sultan SELIM, died a short time ago, by which the SULTAN in herits neatly two millions of piastres. Anther meeting of the Roman Catholic Association, took place in Dublin on Thursday. A letter from Clon mel, signed by JOHN (not Marcrm) LUTHER, inclosed the names of 74 persons who were anxious to become .Members of the Roman Catholic Association. The names of the candidates were real, and they were una nimously admitted Members. Several other persons were admitted Members, including General O'FA a RELL Amsnose. A Report was read, recommending that Mr. O'Co NELL, Mr. Sir ter., and Mr. Belo, should pro. teed to Eogland, to exert themselves in bringing their. cprestion before Parliament, with every possible effect. Mr. O'CONNELL frequently addressed the meeting. In the cour s e of one of his speeches he said, II Nations have been driven mad by oppression ; he hoped that Ireland would never be driven to resort to the system pursued by the Greeks and South Americans, to ob tain their tights; he trusted in GOD they would never be so driven. He hoped Ireland would be restored to her rights; but, if that day should arrive; if she were driven mad by persecution, he wished that a new Bo livar may be found—may arise—that the spirit of the Greeks, and of the South Americans, may animate the people of Ireland." • Mr. Sum recommended that the Roman Catholics should coalesce with the Presbyterians, and " unite in sending to the Legislature one general, one common re monstrance against the enormous abuses of the Esta blished Church." Committees were appointed for pre paring Petitions, and the Meeting adjourned. The amount of the Catholic rent for the week was stated to be 9001. 9s. 7d. • • Lord COMBERMERE is expected shortly in England, on leave of absence.

MURDER AT BECKENHAM. Thomas Coombs, aged 23, was indicted for the wilful murder of Thomas Morgan, under gardener, in the stn. vice of Emmanuel Goodhart, Esq. of Langley Park, in the parish of Beckenham. Mr. BeODRICK stated the case for the prosecution, and gave a succinct detail of the circumstances by which he proposed to bring the charge home to the prisoner. All the particulars of the case, and the evidence, have already been made public through the medium of the Police Office examinations, and have appeared in our Paper. The following are the only new facts which came out : _ _ Mr. James Watkins, a tobacconist, of Kent -street, in the Borough, looked at some pieces of paper found in the prisoner's room, and comparing them with the paper wadding taken from the gun and pistol, had no doubt that they formed part of the wrappers used in his shop in the way of his trade. They corresponded Two pieces of paper taken from the pistol and fitted to a third piece found in the prisoner's room, formed one entire bill, with his name and address upon it. The prisoner being called upon for his defence, said, that some parts of the evidence against him were untrue; but be did not state in what particulars it was false.— He said he had no friends to assist him in his defence. Mr. Benstead, a Maidstone hoyman and stone mer chant, said he had known the prisoner for ten years.— For seven years of that period he had employed him as a labourer, during which time he had conducted him self with great propriety. For the last three years he had known very little of him. Mr. Justice Bunnouon summed up the case for the Jury, as one requiring the peculiar attention of the Jury, making such observations as were calculated to assist them in coming to a satisfactory conclusion, from the various minute circumstances upon which the question of guilt or innocence depended. If the Jury were con vinced, by what they had heard, that the prisoner was the murderer, they ought to say so by their verdict; but if they entertained any sober, rational doubt upon the subject, they ought to incline in favour of innocence. The Jury deliberated a few minutes, and found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Justice BURROUOH immediately pronounced the awful sentence of the law, and ordered the prisoner to be executed on Monday next (this day.) Two other capital convicts, one named Ingrain fora burglary, at Sheerness; the other, George Sti-mbaele, for stealing 29 sheep, were also left for execution. The Assizes ended on Friday evening about seven o'clock. The translation of the Private Journal of MAciAsix CAsseaw c.smptislng her Correspondence, &c. will be publishe d re Thursdi:y nest.
