What could not fail to happen if the Porte did not agree to the stipulations of the Treaty of 6th July, was easily to be foreseen by those who considered the political situation of Europe, and the circumstances which made it the duty of the three Great Powers to 'put an end to the bloodshed between the contending parties. floc what will happen if the chief condition of the Treaty of the 6th July should be fulfilled, and the Morea voluntarily evacuated by the Egyptians and Turks, at a 4noment when the Porte seems on the whole to have forfeited the benefits of the Treaty, and is not in a condition to recognise it without reserve, is another goes tire, which will require much consideration in the conferences a, Corfu. According to the Treaty of London, Greece is to remain &pendant on the Porte; and in the situation of a vassal, it is to roioy only a municipal freedom, and to pay a tribute to the Porte, which is to be fixed by an agreement. The Porte, hindered, as it affirms, by its religions institutions, cannot take any part in such negotiations ; it can only show by the measures which it takes, that It desires to be on good terms with,the Powers, and to give them sati-faction. The evacuation of the Morn, for which orders are said to have been sent to Ibrahim, is a favourable indication of the good intentions of the Divan, and gives it an implied right to the advantages of the Treaty of Loudon. Is Greece now to expect entire freedom, or only an improvement of its situation according to the sense of the Treaty ? And in case the Porte should content Itself with evacuating the Morn, and the fortified places in the Arch ipelago, and thus effecting an actual state of peace, without taking part in the conferences at Corfu, would the Greeks be bound to pay the tribute to the Porte, and to allow it a right of nomination in the appointment of the members of the Government? Or can the parties concerned believe that they have a right to another application of the Treaty, and to deprive the Porte of a right which was guaranteed to it by the Powers, upon certain con ditions, it is true, hut which religion prevents it from fulfill ing? Meantime, is the latter no obstacle to the attainment of the end proposed, and the happy arrangement of the existing dif ferences? It is clear, that without being accused of intolerance, it might be difficult to recognise the entire liberty of Greece as soon as the Porte does any thing to restore tranquillity and order; but it is also evident, that it may be very difficult to induce the Greeks, after se many sacrifices, voluntarily to replace themselves under the Ottoman dominion. Amidst these questions,owhich will afford many difficulties in the negotiations at Corfu, besides that deter mining the boundaries of Greece, it must appear singular to see Count Capo ellstria negotiate with Ibrahim l'acha at Navarin about the evacuation of the Mom. The projected French expe- dition to the Mures also gives scope to many reflections. VIiNNA, Amuse 7.—Meralliques 92L—Bank Shares 1,060. AlgesteitteZitung, August 12. FROM THE DANUBE, Aucusr 4. Letters from Constantinople express fears for the life of the Sultan. The belief of the approaching dissolution of the Turkish Empire prevails, like a kind of fatality, among his principal States. men, the inhabitants of Constantinople, and of those the Urinal are the most cowardly of all Musselmen.

The following is the account of an interview which a deputation of the Underwriters at Lloyd's had with the "Earl of ABERDEEN; Secretary for, Foreign Affairs, on Saturday last. This deputation waited, by appointment, on his Lordship at the Foreign Office, to request, as they told him, the interference of the British Government in behalf of Mr. WM. YoUNO, an English subject, and formerly holding a commission in the army, but who has resided, ever since the peace; in Portugal, and has been employed as agent by a considerable number of the London underwriters, in which capacity he has been the instrument of detecting fraudulent claims on marine insurances to a consider able amount. This indivi'daal,ewill be recollected; was arrested and conveyed from his house at Leiria to the prison at Lis• bon, at the time 'when the Constitutionalist: first de clared thennielves at Oporto, and -at the date of the last advises still continued in confinement. The deputation stated the hardship df the case to his L•irdship, and gave it as their opinion that 'Cie arrest and eetentioti of this Gentleman had not' been occasioned by any political mo tive, but most probably was owing to malevolence to some individuals whose fi:mdulent conduct he had been the means of exposing while employed in the per formance of that duty with which heliad been intrusted. The Noble Lord replied, that he hoped the Gentle men composing the deputation did not imagine that his MaJEsry's Government had /Bowed the commis sion of so flagrant a bleach of the solemn treaties sub sisting between this 'country and Portugal as that which had taken place in the case of Mr. YOUNG, without instructing the British Consul to remonstrate with the persons at present exercising the Government of Portugal in the strongest terms. • This had already been done more than once before the date of the last dispatches from Lisbon t and he was sorry to say with out effect up to that tithe;. but he calculated that in a few days thereafter a communication would be received from the Foreign-office which would have the desired effect ; both in the.case of Mr. YruNo and Sir JOHN M. DOYLE, as he therein notified to the de facto Government of Portugal, that if the proper steps were not imme diately taken in respect to the two individuals in ques tion, it must be prepared for consequences of the most serious nature; as in a case like this, where the liberty and rights of British subjects are invaded, his Majesty's Government were determined that they would not be trilled with. His Lordship added, that he had no doubt but that this remonstrance would have the desired effect, and that by this time Mr. YOUNG would be me leased. The deputation,after expressing their satisfactioi with the steps which had been taken, withdrew.—L imes. ASSIZE INTF.LLIGENC6c -- • G LOUCESTEII, A IJOUbT 16. CIVIL Srua --Before Mr. Justice Gasetie. DEFAMATION.—HALL V ROBEIttSO24. The plaint:ff in this cause was John Cuthbert Hal, and the defendant James Robertson. The declaration steed that the plaineffhad made proposals of marriage to Ann Rich, the daughter of Wm! Rich ; but that is consequence of certain defamatory expressions, u'.ed by • the dehlndant, the marriage had been broken off. • Mr. CAMPBELL, for the plaintiff, •aid, that this action was brought by the plaintiff to vindicate his character, which had been most unjustly attacked by the de fendanr. The plaintiff was a most respectable woollen draper, residing at Bristol, and his character had been tree from the breath of slander until it was thus most in justly attacked by the defendarit. The plair,tiff had beer) a married man, and had lived.happily in that state with the wife of his choice until her death. They had no children, and after some time had elapsed, and his grief had been consequently very much a.stia.: ed, he chanced to meet a Miss Ann Rich, the daughter of a respectable tanner in Bristol, anti for her be conceived an affection. He was received at the hntoe of her father as a lover, and h,ad re ison to believe he was making considerable progress in his sui - , when on a sudden he was forbid.fen to enter the house. Now, if the stnry told of the plaintiff by the defendant was true, it must ire admitted that Mr. Rich, in thus breaking off the con nection between his daughter and the plaintiff, had acted the pal t of a moral man and a prudent father, and saved hi s daughter from disgrace 'by the alliance. But it would be proved that a difference had existence between the plaineff and the defendant, and that the defendant, seeing the progress the plaintiff was making in t'he affections of Miss Rich, determined to take measures for putting an end to his happiness. He therefore went to a person named Cowley, and told him that the plaintiff had taken a young woman' from under his (the de. tendant's) roof, and provided genteel lodgings for her, where he. had her in keeping ; that is, alleging that the plaintiff kept a mistress at the very time he was en treating Miss Rich to become his wife. Upon hearing this piece of malicious slander, no course was left to Mr. Rich, except to put an end to the connection between his daughter and the plaintiff, nor none open to the plaintiff except to bring the defendant into a Court of Law, and either give the defendant an opportunity of justifying his slander, or, by disproving it, vindicate his character in such a manner as would enable Mr. Rich to again sanction his addresses to his dauglner. What, however, was the.course adopted by the defen dant ? Had he justified the attack made upon the plaintiff, or explained away the imputations upon his moral character? No. The plaintiff. had generously given the defendant an opportunity of explainingaway his unjust accusations, by writing to him through the medium of leis attorney, and•what was hisanswer ?—a denial, an excuse, or a palliation of his conduct ? No; he had added insult to injury, and repeated the.accusa don in a manner the most offensive.—(The Learned Counsel then read the letter in reply to that fiorn the plaintiff's attorney. The defendant began by expressing considerable surprise that the plaintiff should think of proceeding against hire for defamation of character ; but for the guidance of the plaintiff and his attorney, in the event of. their bringing an action, he would inform them that he contracted for the support of the• poor of a certain.parish, and some of the.paupers were prepared to swear that the plaintiff was irr the constant habit of visiting.a girl in that house, and that he was freqoently locked up with her for a considerable time. He'added', that these persons bad been so curious as to watch -the departure of the plaint ff from the house, they found that he did not go away sometimes until two Or three o'clock in the morning. He.(the defendant) CQII. eluded by saying that he had been ascused i f being in bed with the girl himself, and •fe was, therefore,• the more injured man of the two; and he desired the plain tiff and his attorney to understand, that this information was derived from some of the paupers, who would ' forthcoming to:prove its truth).—Under thege citeum. stances, the plaintiff now came f.lward to give the de fendant an opportunity of justifying his slander ;..but if he tailed to du so, then the plaint if claimed at their hands the damages to which he was entitled, as a re paration for a most serious injury. His (the plaintiff's) object was the vindication of his character; but unless the Jury marked, by the amount of those damage., their opinion of the defendant's conduct, the plaint fi could not be said to teceive from their hands the seise.- ration which he deserved.• The Learned Counsel then' called the following witnesses: Mr. William Cowley—l.know bOth the plaintiff 'and the defendant; I am also acquainted wish Mr. John Rich, of Bristol . ; in the early part of last January I'met the defendant at a place called the Ctossway.; in the parish of Thornbury, in this county. We had sothe conversation about parish business; in the course of 'it I said to the defendant," Why, Mr. Robertson, I untie/. stand you have a pretty consorn with . Miss Pen fie replied, " No, she is gone from Thornblity ; and report is, that Mr. Hall has takln lodgings for her, and got her in keeping." I mentioned this Conieritition aft .rwards to Mr. In cross.examination, by Mr. Taus:you, the witness said he was the uncle of' Miss Rich, and he admitted that Mr. Risk told him, before he mentioned ilk Con versatior, that he had put .1 negative upon the plaintiff continuing his addresses to his daughter. Mr. John Rich-s-I am *a farmer, of Bristol, and I have a daughter named Allr, who is as good and duet ful a child as ever lived ; I know the ptaisit if,; he is a woollen diaper in Bristol, but am very slightly ac quainted with his affairs. Tim witness then begged to be. spared any interrogatories, arid he would tall his own tale, and all he knew about the matter. The plaint tiff (Mr. Hall) met my daughter Ann in,the street, aad addressed her ; she went, as she ought to do, into a shop to avoid him; and when he followed her, she re ferred him to me; he then came to me, and.said he wished to become a suitor to my daughter; he saw. my daughter hut twice; my wife and daughter ate like sisters together; I place implicit confidence in Otero, and GOD forbid I should ever exercise any. severe con . noul over them; my daughter never encouraged the defendant's visits, and after calling twice, he had a most decided answer before I heard a word of the conversa tion between the defendant and Mr. Cowley ; Cowley is my brother in law, and I have great confidence in him; I metbim in the Hide Market and tad him Hall bad been rejected, but I cannot .charge my memory with what he told me about Miss Perry; I was not present when the decided negative %tat given. to Mr. Hall, for I would not hurt the feelings of my daughter (poor thing) for the world.
