Such ' was the firi; libel of which his client complained. He then read 'and commented un 4e second libel ; and added,that the Jury would now see the way in Is hick things were conducted by the pol luted pat t of the press..- It was proceedings like these which brought the public press into di4epute, and ten den d those who were its best ft iends'ainv.st doubtful of the ben fits of unfettered and untesoicted discussion.

I produce an affidavit from the S deep-s ffice; also two numbers of the paper—that of the 29. h March, and that of the sth Aptil last. Cross-examined by Mr. Sealtirr—My Learned Friend, Mr., Drou&liam, has alluded to yes, I believe, Mr. Wordsworth, as a Gmtlemaa more conversant in poetry tha n eater himself or rue— may I ask you, have you read the poetical line taken by this paper far its motto, of which my Learned Friend gave so flourishing a description?-1 have many a time when I was a boy, 40 years ago. When you and I were at Cambridge, together, Mr. Words worth, should vi.? not, front the rhythm of the' syllables, have divided this enormous line into four verses ?—ln my younger days it used to be printed in four lines. In the course of your poetical studies, did you ever meet with line containing so many syllables?—l did not know that it was printed as one line till I heard Mr. Brougham say frO. I never met au long a verse in my life. The papers containing the paragraphs charged as libellous were handed in, and the paragraphs read by the usual oaken Mr. t-CARILLT r thin proceeded to address the Jury f r the delendants. In the course of his experience he had seen several extraordinary actions fur libel, but ht. remembered none in which the labour of Countei had been so great, and in which the libel complained of had been so trifling, as in the present ac ion. His Learned Friend, amid the difficulties by which he was beset, in the management of this cause, had thought fit to wan,. tier eta of the record to vent his indignation against What he called the polluted pact of the press.• What part of the press his Learned Friendmeant to designate by those expressions he did not pretend to know; but probably it was that part of it which differed from him hi political opinions. His Learned Friend had also v ar.dered out of hi. road to abuse the line which formed tl.e motto of the paper published by the two defendants. His Learned Friend had represented it as a line as long as that-appended to a fishing-rod. It might be so, ae. c' rding to Lis Learned Friend's mode of reading k; hut he read it as four harmonious and melodious lines. He-said nothing of the poetry which they contained; but four lines of verse they acre, if he had ever seen a verse in his life. Let the Jury read them thus: V.Thera moderation dwells, the soul admits Distinct ideas and mauled debate : Ai: eye impartial, and an even scale— Hence wisdom sound and unrepenting choice." In that University where he and Mr. Wordsworth bad t' e good fortune to be educated, there would be no doubt that these lines were four lines of blank verse, whatever doubt there might be as to the fact in that University cf which his Learned Friend was to be the founder—(,4 lau,glt, in the midst of which Mr. Brougham said, " At any rate we wi 1 not write four verses in one line.") His Learned Friend, who could not allow an oportunity tif hitting his political opponents to pass by him, had accused the defendants of publishing a wry offensive and a very dull paper. He would not s3y that their paper was a dull one; but if it were, he would say so 'much the better for the plaintiff, since ealun;ny it contained would be less read. What was The charge against the plaintiff in this libel ? That be had received a reptimand from a Bench of Magis. trates for rudeness and officiousness. For his own part, he could'not see how words like these could be construed ilto a libel on the, character of aa attorney. He bad never heard it stated that it was necessary for an attorney to be the pink of politeness. Why, every man in the pro fession of the law was busy, •bustling, and officious. He himself was so; so, too, was his Learned Friend. The Learned Counsel then read through the paragraphs complain d of by. the plaintiff, and contended at great length . thu they contained nothing libellous. Mr. Limn litiLsocx summed up the case, and told the Jury. if they thought either paragraphs libellous, very moderate damages would, in his opinion, satisfy tare justice of the case. The Jury considered for a few minutes and then returned a verdict fur the plainti ff —Damages One Shilling. Stutturrr.—ls this a case, my Lord, fur a certificate?

But if other serious differynces were ever to arise, those petty provocations would go far to prevent ,their amicable adjustment ; because we forget, in this country, that the Press in other nations has not the sameliceose as here, and that among them nothing can be published which has not the tick sanction of the Government. —lt is extremely natural, therefore, that the Ru'ers of Foreign States may, though erroneously, be impressed al h the idea that the British Government shews no great respect for the honour of other Sovereigns, else ttiey might have repressed such offences. From all quarters, Naples, Spain, Russia, and else where, we daily hear the loude,t complaints from our merchants and countrymen, of the supineness of our Ambahadors and Envoys at Foreign Courts, in ob taining redress for such grievances as may casually arise to their interests.

These reflections are called forth by an article in the Morning Chronicle of this day, wherein the writer is pleased to say, " That Political Coxcomb, " the Autocrat of the Ritssias, ha', it seems, issued an " edict to compel the Jews to reside in the interior, as " they are the persons chiefly engaged in smuggling." Then, after blaming the inspolicy of not discouraging illic;t commerce in the most effectual way, by reduced dutie , , as in America, the writer proceeds : " But this is se the way the world is governed ; and yet this poor wan 46 trotted about the metropolis and Paris, looked at " everything, and no doubt believes what he has been " told, that he knows everything." . .

His Highness the Sultan of Palembang, Hoesien Dlia Ordien, who was lately brought as a prisoner from that place to Batavia, died on the 22d of Febraary, of a consumption, with which be had been for some time afflicted, and on account of which he was removed a few days ago from the Town Hall to the residence of the nativellaster of the Ceremonies. His Majesty's corvette the Dolphin, which left Pa lembang on the 4th of February, where everything was tranquil, arrived, on the 13th of this month, in this port, having on board 14 persons, who were sen tenced by the tribunal of that place to banishment and chains, for being concerned in the treacherous at tack on the Kraton. Accounts received at Palembang state, that the fugitive Sultan had- left oar territory, 'and had fled, without.aoy followers, into the territory of Bencoolen. A detachinitt of 100 men, under Capt. Limmer, sent to the Rawas to disperse some rioters, had returned to Palembang, having accomplished the object of their expedition. . _ The rebels were driven with considerable loss from the beatings which they had thrown up, and forced to evacuate the Rawas. The loss on our side was trifling, but the detachment has many sick, and sickness pre- vails at Palembang among the Europeans in the 'Craton. At Muntok fever prevails to an alarming degree, among the European residents. The number of pa tients in the hospital was a hundred and fifty, besides some civil officers. The number of deaths, however, was latterly small (only one in fourteen days), but the sick did not recover, and those who had partly re covered remained very weak. There was a total want of medicines. The Shewa brig was, however, on its way to Muntok, having on board Mr. Van Sevenhoven, Commissioner from Palembang, and a large supply of necessaries for Muntok, including medicine. The mea sures adopted last year to secure the coasts against pirates, have on the whole had a favourable effect, so that very little loss has beea sustained by the inhabi- tants of the coasts, or the little trading vessels, from the attacks of the pirates. Spain seems to have reached the last point of degra dation. Her own territory is occupied by foreigners, because the Government is unable to protect itself ; her Colonies In the New World are for ever lost to her ; and her navy, which once menaced England with a larger fleet than ever approached our shores, and which 20 years ago was considerable, is now annihilated. An article from Cadis, in the Nemirow of Wednesday, dated the 22d ult. states, that the oust afflicting letters bad been received front Vigo ; the Spa nish flag did not dare to venture a league from shore, and that many chasm manes had been carried off by the Corsairs and Independent vessels of America, who, after taking out everything that was worth taking. burnt the Spanish ships, and all this in sight of the Spanish coast. It is impossible to conceive a greater national humiliation than this. The annals of the world do not present an instance dunk a change in so short a period. • In a preeding column we have inserted some intel ligencc from Greece. which, if true, would almit;t be decisive of the present campaign. It is stated, on authority of intelligence from Trieste, that 1,114411111151 PACUL bad been defeated by the Greeks in a signal victory, and that he has been wounded and taken prisoner. If the previous accounts could have been relied on, we might in some degree have been prepared for such an. event. They stated, that when 111tAIMI P•tua gained the barren triumph of capturing the sumking assns d Triiolizza, he was so disappoint that he l ~!• • ....IMF • it.•,.4 • r•- hesitated to advance, tad euerniptal at Argos, ',hate a email body of Creeks made a vigorous atsack or.' him. It farther appears, by an article from Zante,in the Aron:/eur of Tuesday,which'ave received this morning, that when lagattrag did advance, he suffered great loss in the pass Age of Mount Partheni. It would seem, however, that he hadapproached nearCorinth,when the accumulation of Greek troops, who possessed the defiles In his rear, rendered it unsafe to advance any - farther, The position of the Greek troops is thus fixed in th e Atingteur—,:the elder COLOCOTWONI was .alt *Ficaria ; Captain CA uortivao,with young CoLocoiastmat, at I:laity:4; the brothers DA MAN& occupied the position of St. Theod ire ; ANDRE Zaraim, Loudos; and Noessoruotaa occupied Livadia. Ileac'', and Ki - RATA3IIO, with the regular troops from Napoli di Rumania, were near Mount Partheol. The.wbale of these several corps are sa id to have amounted to 20,000 men, without comprising several de tached corps of Greeks Which occupied the defiles. In referring to the accounts from Greece, in our preceding columns, it will be seen that the date of the defeat and capture of IBRAHIM PACHA k not given, nor is the place fixed, thongh cue cf the accounts supposes It to have been near Corinth. We shoats, however, rather suspect it to have been not far from Napoli di Romania. No particialars of the engagement are given, and the account is certainly not altogether free from suspicion, although it seems to receive corrobaration from an article from Trieste, dated the 27th July, in the Allgenielw Zeitaag of the sth inst. received this morning, which states, on the authority of the Captain of a ship arrived from Odessa, that , ahe met, off Calamata, an Austria-a ship, which gave him the news that Imaintat Vacua, a(rer taus battles in the interior of the Mores, had been wounded, and after wards taken prisoner by the Greeks." An ankle from Leghorn, of the 28th of July, also states that 'l-e Imperial brig Carolina, Captain lhaatno Ilaa•contcm, had arrived there from Constantiouple and that when off hydra and Spexz'a he heard a great cannonading, and shortly after, on meeting the vessel of the Captain Ttiataasts, he enquired the cause, and was told that the Greeks fired front on hearing that laausoas Mena Md been taken prisoner. Most anxious shall we wait for the confirmation of this intelli gence. Sinc e writing the above we have received the ifenteere of Wednesday. It contains an article from Trieste, at the 24th July, which state, that REDOCHID PACHA bad quitted allasolunglii, wind his principal forces, leaving a corps to 'mask it. It is stated, in a letter from the frontiers of Spa n, that a battalion of the 741 Spanish Regiment, stationed at St. Ander, bad revolted,when theyreceived order s to embark for the f Lava torah. V The Debtin CorrespoNdent of Tuesday states, titat an adjournment to November of the New Roman Ca tholic Association will be moved on Saturday ; and ?.ids, " but we have been told that they are not determined on resuming their sittings."—The Association has cet tainly been a failure, and its founders must be disap pointed at their plan not having been m ore success‘ni. If the great body of the Catholics only knew how much their associations, and the intemperate harangues and disputes of their leaders, injure the cause they pretend to advocate, they would give neither their suppoi t. 11TE KING.
