N.i 4 '''4 3H .PA PI .RS. RSCEIsiD LAST NIGHT. French Papers to the 20th inst. and the Etoik . of Wednesday have reached us. They contain some. in telligence from Greece, ctunmunicated by a French To-' Innteer, the Comte d'Harcourt, and highly cheering to the Chri,tian cause. Notwithstanding the want of hirtoonr b..twsen the Government and the Military Chiefs, the TuAs and Egyptians had esverienced seve ral reverses. Even in the plain of Tripnlizz 1, where the. nature of tf.e ground favoured the operations of disciplined troops, some of Ibrahim's best soldiers were defeated and cut to pieces, and it is sta ed that had not Colocntroni sounded a retreat when he saw 2000 Arabs, with 200 cavalry issuing from the town, that body would have suffered the same fate, as the Greeks were superior in numbers, and animated by success, were equal to the most audacious. enterprises. General Pe trove, who commands the Arcadians, had destroyed 200 Arabs who esc-sted a convoy of provisions through the passes of Londari, and the capture of the convoy could net fail to be severely felt by the Egyptians at Tr ipolizza. The raising of the siege of Athens is con firmed. 'The Capitani, who inh 41)4 the mountains of Upper Pnocis, and had capitulated when Redschid Pacha and his army passed through &Ilona, had raiied Again the Standard of Independence.' The villagers of Attica ss ho had also feigned submission in order to be able to get in their harvest, had resumed their arms, and fallen on the Seraskier's rear, which they had so se riously annoyed, as to have alarmed him for the safety of his army, and induced him to retire to Zeitouni, where be could not be cut off. It was observed with satisfactiso that the Janissaries of Negropont had not co-operated with Redsclaid in his expedition against Athens, and that the Paella of Eubsea, being jealous of his progress, had sent him no assistance, but had kept his troops, under several pretences, within his awn Government. `f\ *** . - i The Journal des Debra: states that Count Pozzo di Borgo, Russian Ambassador in France, had set off for Sr. Petersburg,' on Saturday last, immediately after receiving a despatch by an extraordinary express. This circumstance, however, is denied by the Etoile as wholly untrue. The intelligence from the Russian capital comes down to the Sd inst. It is silent respect ing the war with Persia, but reverting to the executions which preceded the Emperor's departure for Moscow, it chews that he had done every thing in his power to lighten the misery of the relatives of the conspirators who lately perished on the scaffold. Far from follow. in* the victim beyond the grave, and in the barbarous spit it of ancient laws visiting on the innocent children and families of the offender the crime expiated by his death, the new Emperor has displayed a Roble instance of generosity and of mercy. He has not pardoned the relatives of the dead, for that would have been pro claiming them guilty ; he has bestowed favours and advancement upon them, and raised some of them to situations which imply unbounded confidence in their loyalty and their honour. To the unhappy wives of Prince Troubetzkoy, and Colonel Mouravieff, he has granted the only thing which was of value to them on earth, the permission of accompanying their husbands in their exile, and softening its horrors. To the father of Colonel Pestel, 4 avowed head and promoter of the conspiracy. Ore mof fifty thousand rubles has been sent to repair hi{ ruined fortunes, and the rent of an estate which he holds from the crown has been re. mitted to him for a number of years. ?lay, the very brother of the man who was net thought 'worthy to die a soldier's death, instead of being involved in the des.' grace of his brother's condemnation, has been appointed Aide-de-camp to the Emperor, a post of such trust, that the life of his master may, in some measure, be consi dered as in his keeping. These acts of magnanimity had produced a deep sensation in the army in favour of their author, and proved that they were at the same time acts of consummate policy. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON.

The Journals in the South of France abound with rumours concerning the affairs of S, am and Portugal, to which no credit is attached in the capital. The Frankfort Journal, of the 16th inst. with other German Papers, have been received; but they are al most wholly occupied with same details of th• ap proaching completion and opening of the University of Munich, which possess no general interest. Accounts from Madrid state, that the English Am- bassador has remonstrated with the Spanish Minister on the organization of the Portuguese troops, refugees on the frontiers of Spain. The English Minister has declared, that if Spain continues this conduct, it will be regarded by England as a declaration of war; and in future the English Ambassador will only communi• cate with the King of SPAIN in person.

The principal Vocalists were Miss Paton and Messrs. Sapid and Atkins. The Church was completely filled at the opening of the doors, and the audience comprised all the leading families of the county. In the evening there was a Miscellaneous Concert at the Theatre, which was equally crowded. The whole Festival appeared to give the highest satisfaction to all present, and the manner In which it was received will probably i nduce a repetition on some future occasion. The Bishop of LONDON visited the Duke of Yonx yesterday, at the residence of the Duke of Romania, in Arlington street. His Royal Highness took an airing yesterday afternoon, in his open barouche and pair, for about two hours.

The intercourse with France is kept up briskly. Tuesday night, Lieut. GILL, R.N. Chief Officer of the Coast Guard station at Hurst, seized, off Mineway, a boat and 196 casks of foreign spirits. By the rctnoval of the fence in front of she new building in Whitehall, this morning, the Board of Trade and the Council Office, which are supported by Corinthian pillars, exhibit to public view a most beau tiful edifice, the architectural deign of which does infinite credit to tbc taste of Mr. &MHZ, by whose care the whole is rendered fire-proof. A few days ago, the bed room of Mr. Holden, of the Devonshire Arms, Devonshire -street, Lisson Grove, was entered by s me expert thief, by means of a pick-lock, and a bureau also opened, and 6:i sovereigns, a check fur 151. drawn on It insom and Moreland, and a bill for 251. was taken therefrom. The Stamp Office duty on advertisements in Irish Newspapers, for the year ending the 51h of January la t, amounts to 14,0001. only, whi!e in the year 1823 it was 23,0001. This is a conclusive fact, that the trade of a Newspaper is not a prosperous one, at least in , .Ireland. CHELTENHAM. Strnettsaa - 40.

He was received with the usual salute, the whole line presenting arms, &c. after which the troops passed the General in review, and proceeded through the evolutions of a grand field day, which were performed in a style that reflected the highest credit on the various Regiments, and exhibited the very superior state of discipline to whieh the army has arrived.

The fire originated in the kitchen, owing to a pot, containing some combustible matter, boiling over.—Another fire broke out early yesterday morning, at the house of Mr. Parker, ja panner, Cohen place, Mile-end, and destroyed the whole of the premises. Serious apprehensions were entertained for the safety of an elderly Lady, who was with diffi culty rescued by the watchman from the flames. The cause of the accident is not yet ascertained. THAMES TUNNEL.--Many visitors, by tickets from a Director, are admitted on Wednesdays or Fridays, to view the double arch from the platform, but are not ad mitted to go down the arches, because of the interrup tion which would thereby be given to the numerous workmen. Even from the platform, the archway now carried to about 260 feet, which is within the line of low water mark, furnished with lights, and alive with the busy workmen, is beautiful ; and the machinery, by which they are with the utmost ease supplied with bticks, cement, &c. die. and by which at the same time the ponderous quantity of soil is brought up, and by which the warm air is extracted, and a due temperature preserved for the workmen, is well worthy of vied ing ; but it is the immense machine in which the excavators work with ease, and with undoubting security, which speiks most the genius of the Engineer, and the execu tion and skill of the workmen. The arches are formed on moving centres, or wheels,. and *tie. follow the work; and the whole is now by practice brought to such perfection, that the work is progressing day and night. CIRCUIT COURT OF JUSTICIARY. 15UMFR/RS, Streonall 19. Our Circuit Court of Justiciary was held Thursday, by Lords MACKENZIE and ALLOWAY. ROBERT DEN.; DAS, Esq. Advocate Depute. This is the first of our Circuits in which Lord ALLOWAT has presided, and this circumstance, combined with the 'metering nature of some of the cases, and the remarkable fineness of the weather, created considerable bustle in town, and omit& sioned a very crowded Court. James M'Manus, alias Jas. Coyle, Robert. Platt, and James Ilion, were then brought up, accused of assault. ing.and robbing Andrew Small, farmer, in Beckton, Parish of Dryfesdale, upon the road leading from Dun)• fries, by Lochmaben, to Lockerby, upon the ni g h t - o f the Lath August last. The prisbnerspleadrd Not Guilty and a Jury being empannelleci and sworn, the following evidence was adduced for the prosecution Andrew Soma, a farmer, at Beckton, in the parish of Dryfesdale, was at Lockerby fair on the 15th of August last, and left that town about eight o'clock in the evening, for the purpose of returning home When near to Beckton, which lies on the road side leading from Lockerby to Dumfries, he was attacked by three persons, who came up to him on the road, and attempted to knock the feet from him. He asked them what they meant, or some such word—perhaps it might be more rash. Two of the men then knocked him down, laid him upon his back, crossed his arms over his breast, and there held him. They also pressed their knees on each side his breast, and held his mouth Witness was making resistance, when one of them knocked his head against the road, and said, " You b----, if you make the least resistance, run that knife through you r' Witness did not see any knife in the hand of him who said so. Panels asked him if he had money before they stopt his mouth, and he said he had, and everything he had wag in his trou ser's pocket. They asked him "how much?" He said. " A guinea note, and 18s. in silver." The third man then came forward, tore down his pocket, and to,sk out 18s. in silver. (Witness here identified the prisoner McManus as the one who took from him the money).— Part of the money fell on the ground, and one of the others said, cc D—n ye, pick that up." The too men who held him then made off; before this, witness felt a hand at his watch pocket, but he had no watch. A. guinea note of the Carlisle Bank was also taken from him out of the other pocket. Could not say that the man who took the silver also took the note. All this took place on witness's own farm, where the road runs through it. Next morning witness perceived that the inside pocket of his waistcoat had been torn away.— (The vest, w;th the pocket.which it contained, were here shewn to, and identified by witness). After the two men ran away, the third again went through witness's pockets. He who did so was McManus; witness lost also a pocket knife, a small comb. and an iron instru ment for picking horses' feet ; M'Manus after thus again searching witness's pockets, ran off towards Lockerby, and witness got up and shouted " Murder." He then started in pursuit, and McManus was shortly after stopt on the road by some men who were coming up with carts. This might be about sixty or seventy yards from the spot ou which the robbery was committed.— Witness never lost sight of M'Manus, but lost sight of the other two. McManus was caught by one of the no n who. were with the carts; did not know who these men were, but thought he had before seen them ; could not.posi Lively state their number, but thought thete were three men and a little boy. Witness, on coming forward, caught McManus by the neck, and took him to his own house, with the assistance of the carters. Witness ob served M'Manus threw away a half-crown piece, and lifted it. Prisaner was afterwards taken to Lockerby, and nest morning brought before a magistrate and committed. There were five half-crown pieces among the silver taken by McManus. Witness could not iden• tify the other prisoners; he thought that Flinn, the one nearest to him, resembled one of those by whom he was robbed, but could not speak with equal certainty of the other. On being cross-examined, witness stated that the time at which he was robbed was about half-past eight at night ; that the night was rainy, and was not so dark as to render objects undistinguishahle;_ that he first observed M'Manus when he was taking the silver from his pockets ; and that he could swear to his dress, several parts of which he described. Evidence corroborating the foregoing, and partially Inculpating Flinn and Platt, was given by several witnesses. The several declarations of the prisoners were read, and no exculpatory evidence being called, the Depute Advocate addressed the Jury at considerable length.— With regard to M'Manus, the evidence adduced had so fully brought home to him the crime for which he was indicted, that he should leave his particular case en tirely in the hands of the Jury. And with regard to the other two, the Jury were placed exactly in this dilemma, that they must either deny the evidence of the two wit nesses, Breck and son, or return against them a similar verdict. The Learned Gentleman then recapitulated. and commented on the several heads of evidence, and concluded, by craving a verdict of guilty against all the prisoners. In the course of his observations he no ticed the dreadful penalty consequent upon conviction for a crime of this nature, and McManus, who now doubtless perceived his danger, wrung his hands, and changed colour frequently, as if much affected. The other two seemed quite indifferent. Mr. Fenoussme, the Counsel for the prisoners, made a very'ingenious and able defence, after which Lord Mackenzie summed up the evidence, and the Jurr, having retired for a few minutes, pronounced, by their Chancellor, a verdict of Guilty against McManus, but. by a majority, recommended him, on account of his youth, to mercy. Against the other two the/ Wend the libel not proven. Another case having before this been called, judgment was defer red, and sbe prisoners in the meantime were conveyed from the bar. About nine o'clock, the three prisoners, McManus. Platt, and Flinn, were ordered up to receive sentence. Lord MACIESNRIE then addressed Platt and Finn, and in a strain of most solemn admonition, entreated therm ever to bear in mind the very narrow escape which they had just now made from an ignominious death. having put on the fatal hat, he turned to M'Manus. towards whom, he said, he had a much more painful, but not less necessary duty to perform, which was no other than pronouncing upon him the last penalty of the law. , His Lordship then sentenced him to be executed here on Wednesday, the 18th of October next, between the hours of two and tour in the afternoon. The other two were assodaied, and dismissed from the bar.
