GREECE AND RUSSIA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. SIR-1 was very glad to find that whilst advocating the cause of a Grecian State you were not making your self the agent of Russian encroachment. The language of Gre4t Britain and France should be—" To this boundary line the Greeks shall go, and no further; and beyond this boundary line the Russians shall not come." A free Greek community judiciously located is an ad ditional security for the freedom, independence, and civilization of nations. A Russian establishment south of the Danube would produce consequences the most fatal to the safety and well•being of all Europe. The Black Sea is the greatest naval arsenal in the world. Every thing that can be required for the construction and equipment of ships o war abounds to an unlimited degree. Sailors only are wanted ; but if Russia should possess herself of Greece, that want would immediately cease, and the Levant, the Archipelago, the Atlantic, and indeed the whole Mediterranean ht covered with her fleets. Her warlike hordes, issuing from a popula tion of more than sixty millions, would no longer be checked by any of the obstacles which now impede their desolating march. Their legions—their materiel —their stores—their food would be conveyed in safety to points the most favourable for their assaults, and each of which might then become a new basis of operations. We do not wish to see the Knout Code of Legislation acquire such a power of expansion. We are afraid of the restless ambition and energies of these rude Goths, " the surface of whose skin," as NAPOLEON said, " you have only to remove, when you will discover the bar barian." We prefer the slumbering professors of the Koran, who only rouse to repulse assailants, as the guard of the sea and water-line of communication be. tween the Danube and Greece. And we are inclined , to believe the progress of social improvement will meet; with more encouragement from Sultan MAHMOUD than any Russian Autocrat. Spain and Egypt have ere now afforded splendid proofs that the protection of the arts and sciences have not been incompatible with the pure principles of the Mahomedan Religion. I am, your's, • • • TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. July 2, 1 829. &s--A Correspondent of the Morning Journal, in an article of his own peculiar pith, denies that private letters coming from or going to France or England, are secretly opened for the convenient information of Don Miguel's excellent police,—that immaculate Mo narch being, it appears, above such dishonourable practices—re specting opinions and persons too much to pry into secrets, which, however disagreeable they might be to learn, can contain nothing of power to injure so legitimate, so upright, so clement a Father of his people, enthroned in their hearts, and propitiated with their prayers. In support of his cause, the friend of the Morning journal offers himself as example, and candid/y asserts that he has regularly received letters in Portugal, * sealed with wax and with British seals of a peculiar nature, which, if the letters had been opened, must have been broken, and the impression could not have been given ;" from which he concludes, as he expresses in one word, that all complaints of Don Miguel's" formes acerb's" are a lie. Now I should like to know whether it was owing to the ad dress on these letters, or to the peculiar wax and seals, that those communications' made to the friend of the Morning Jaime, were so peculiarly respected: for, notwithstanding his choleric advocacy and summary conclusion, I am of opinion that it is to some very peculiar circumstances indeed that the correspondence of this mend of the Morning Journal has been so peculiarly privileged. For. that private letters are subjected to the secret scrutiny of spies attached for those very purposes to the General Post Mats of Por tugal, I positively maintain as incontrovertible. Who has resided under any absolute Government in Europe, and is ignorant of the little scruple with which sealed correspondence is violated? The system is so little doubted, that throughout Austria, Italy, and Spain, as well as Portugal, individuals rarely venture to express their free political sentiments in letters consigned to the transport of Government. Lit to be supposed that Miguel, the philanthropist, neglects any of the worthy precautionary measures that are employed by that description of Royalty be has chosen to model himself on, and infringe so imprudently on the maxims of his delicate preceptor. Metternich, and his liberal apostolical coadjutors and guides, who aid him with the assistance of the Morning Journal and °them, to snake himself so popular? As to the unbroken appearance of a seal being proof of its having been inviolate, I have only to com pliment the friend of the Morning Journal on the innocence of his mind, and refer him to the disgraceful exposure in the French Papers, not long ago, of the old secret Post•ofBce Police in France, and their ingenious modes of opening any letters, watered or sealed, without the least mark by which the moat attentive eye could detect such atrocious violation. Oh! it is sickening to behold a British Press in Constitutional England supporting, in the nineteenth century, the cause of despo tism and oppression, advocating the conduct of a man who, if reigning but one day over us, would provoke the avenging steel of a thousand patriots. Who has marked the progress of the modern Nero, and can suffer the sophistries of any apologist to persuade him in contempt of facts?—to defend such a monster is a stain to the times, and an insult to the minds of a British people.

MR. BATTIER, LATE 10TH HUS'ARI. Extract of a letter from Parts, June 24—" The Mr. Battier, who made such a noise some years ago, by his disputes with Lord Londonderry and the loth Hussars, is, to my personal knowledge, at this moment literally starving, with a wife and two children, in an unfurnished garret, in a house here, Rue de Monceau Faubourg du Route. On being driven from his profession, he imprudently embarked in one of the 1825 scheme., and, I need hardly add, was soon stripped of his last shilling. He has, I understand, repeatedly memorialised the Government to be restored to half pay, of which he was da priced for his duel with Lord Londonderry, but has been decidedly efused. Being rather a clever fellow, he has endeavoured to get employment as a writer in periodicals; but he has found too many eompetitors in these literary days to make any thing of that." VERMIFUGUS. THE KING. WINDSOR. Jots I.—Yesterday, neither the Kum nor any of his distinguished visitors attended the races, owing to the badness of the weather, it having rained incessantly the whole of the day. Notwithstanding, his MAJasTv, with the whole of his Royal party, visited the Castle, and inspected his MAJESTY'S suit of apart ments, and St. George's Hall, which is in a forward state of completion. His MAJESTY and party left the Castle at six o'clock, and returned to the Royal Lodge to dinner. This day his Maim; with the whole of his august visitors,lattended the races, and proceeded to the Heath in the usual form, but in close carriages. COURT CIRCULAR. His MAJESTY, and the company who are staying on a visit to him at the Royal Lodge in Windsor Park, after dinner on Wednesday evening, were gratified with the performance of the King's private band, who were stationed in the conservatory.— Dancing was introduced by some of the company, and was kept up till eleven, when.the Kum retired, the band playing ' 4 Gov save the King."

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE AGAINST THE RECORDER OF HAVING SUBSTITUTED A MILD son A HEAVY PUNISHMENT. Yesterday a Court was held for the transaction of some impoitant business. A good deal of conversation had taken place since the last dig of the late Old Bailey Sessions on the subject of a very singular in nonce of lenity, in the awarding of punishments to the offenders convicted; and upon this occasion the matter reached the Court in a serious form, and in the presence of the Recorder, o ho was the Judge to whom the task fell of pronouncing the seritei,ce of the Cow t. One of the Aldermen (we believe Alderman Wood) rose to present a memorial, which will espial' the nature of the complaint, and was as follows— • "TO THE HONOURABLE COURT 01 ALDERMEN. " Your Memorialists beg leave to draw the attention of the Court to the following statement of circumstances connected with a prosecution they have recently been engaged in ; and they consider the cue of sufficient importance to occupy the attention of the Court, as it appears to them that the due administration of justice has been impeded by improper in. fluence or interference, and that sentence has been passed, basing no reference to the crime committed. On the Ist of June your Memorialists received an anonymous letter, stating ' that a person in their employment was not acting honestly; and that by referring to the bills and receipts of a Mr. Potter, in Watling street, they should find that goods were had and no entries made.' Your Memoriali►ts did apply, and discovered the information to be 'correct; and that Samuel Watts, their warehouseman, had been in the habit, from January, 1527, of selling goods to Mr. Potter, giving him a bill of parcels and receiving the money, but making no entry in your Memorialists' books, or only a partial one. They found that not less than 35 cases of fraud had been practised in this way by Watts, who, upon being questioned, acknowledged his guilt; and, after much hesitation, confessed that he had received money in a similar manner from three other persons, but not to a similar extent. Your Memorialists felt that under such circumstances they could not, consistently with their duty to the public, forego a prosecution, and applied for a warrant. Watts was brought before Alderman Brown, and cum• mitted upon two charges selected from the number. Ms. Sheriff I Copeland was present at the committal, and Inspected the bills of parcels and books with Alderman Brown, and was acquainted with the circumstance that a selection of two cases was made out of the whole series for the convenience of prosecution. Watts was arraigned, and pleaded guilty ; and being brought up for sentence on Friday last, was fined Is. and discharged. Mr. Conway, one of your Alemorialists, between the time of conviction and the time of sentence, was told by Mr. Sheriff Copeland that the Recorder had noted down the punishment, which would be 'two years imprison ment, and hard labour; and further, that the prisoner would be useful as a schoolmaster in Newgate. Soon after hearing the sen tence, your Memorialists applied to the Recorder to express their surprise, and to ascertain the grounds of a sentence so dispropor tioned to the offence. To which be replied, that he had been de ceived; that the recommendation he bad received was from such au thority as to induce him to pass the lenient sentence, which he now much regretted. Your Memorialists have entered on this prose cution (at all times an unpleasant task), and having refused to sign any petition in Watu's favour, knowing there was no palliating circumstance to sanction such interference, feel assured that your Honourable Court will agree with them that the sentence of the Recorder has not been properly obtained; sad, indeed, may fairly be considered as a reflection upon the prosecutors; and they trust that the Court, considering the extent to which depredation Ls well known to be carried on against the trade of London, and the diffi culty of conviction, will be of opinion that some inquiry into the circumstances of this case is necessary ; and that the Recorder shall be requested to state the reasons of his decision, and also the high authority of the recommendation to which he has referred. Your Memorialists will be ready to afford any further information or explanation which your Honourable Court may require. (Signed) " THOMAS CONWAY, " JOHN PIIILPS, " JOSEPH RAW, " Maiden Lane." " THOMAS HAYWARD. Several Members of the Court expressed an opinion', that, under the circumstances represented, it would have been proper in the Recorder to have communi cated o ith the Alderman who committed befote a sentence of a mature se disproportionate to the offence was passed. The Court, however, was obliged to con.' tent itself with expressing a disapprobation of the sen tence. It could not call upon the Judge to vindicate himself, nor to state the grounds upon which he sen tenced to be fined a shilling and discharged, a person who bad been guilty of robbing his employers, and had pleaded guilty to two indictments of that serious nature. The RECORDER said that he had been led by the statements made to him relative to the former charac ter of the prisoner, and the assurance that he should be taken into immediate employment, to inflict the nominal punishment. He regretted that there had been occasion to complain ; but he considered at the time that he was doing what would prove most advantage. ous to the prisoner, without subjecting the public to injury. Some of the Members of the Court thought that the public were likely to sustain serious injury from the setting at liberty a man who had been guilty of several depredations upon his employers. The subject dropped here. Alderman Vziasscsa, after making some pointed observations upon the manner in which the sentences upon prisoners at the Old Bailey were arranged and passed, gave notice of a Motion, 4, That the Clerk of the Peace, the Clerk of Arraigns, and the Court, should be furnished with Sentence Papers; so that the confa. sion and mistakes which were constantly occurring, to the disgrace of the Court, might be effectually pre. vented."

PROCEEDINGS OF DON MIGUEL. --61..._ _ The Captain of a merchant vessel. who has arrived in town from a voyage, la the course of which he fell in with the blockading squadron off Terceira, gives an account which is absolutely ludi crous of the freaks played by the Officers of the contemptible little tyrant, who, having obtained a sort of impunity from his very insignificance seems resolved to insult and brave every flag that waves on the ocean. The cases now to be mentioned relate to three of the very first class—viz. British, American, and French. The English ship was the Handl', proceeding from Terceira to Faro in ballast. She was fired upon with 80 or 30 musket balls, brought to, and detained by the I'ortuguere ship of war the Don John VI. Soldiers were then placed on board—she was sent to the island of St. Michael's, which I. about 80 miles from Terceira, and kept for seven days, probably with the intention of making a regular capture of the vessel, but the Undaunted frigate chancing to come to anchor there, the Ilalkin was released. The French flag was not quite so respectfully treated, for the Commander of the blockading squadron actually made prise of a schooner belonging to the French merchant service, fitted her up, and armed her as a tender, with a small party of marines on board, and the vessel in the beginning of last month was cruising as part of the Portuguese squadron off the island of St. George. Of the fate of the Commander and crew of this ship nothing is known. The American ship, which is called the Gleaner, was also made a regular capture of by the Don John VI. She was lying at anchor off Terceira at the time, when a boat's crew were sent on board, who plundered the vessel of all she contained, not excluding articles of wearing apparel belonging to the sailors. They took her quad rant, telescopes, and even an apparatus f o r the wh a l e fi s h er y, i n which the vessel was employed. They then took possession of the ship, assuming the entire charge, and navigated her to St. Michael's. There the whole of her cargo, consisting of rice, flour, and other articles, was unloaded, and she was regularly moored in the har bour with the Portuguese mooring chains, her own anchor and cables having been cut away at the time she was first taken posses sion of ! roses. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Letters received yesterday from ficamd state, that the former predictions, of the Emperor Nicholas being obliged to raise more money to carry on the war against the Ottomans, are realized; and that the firm of Hoe and Co. of Amsterdam, are the Contr Jetts:a, or Agents is the Contract of a Luan of 2,000,004. at the very high price of 99, bearing an interest of five per cent.— It would seem that the Dutch capitalists did nut much relish the terms on which the Loan was taken, not more than one-fourth of the amount having been disposed of up the beginning of the week; the new Loan is, in lac., nearly two per cent. above Russian Stock in cir culation here, and yielding precisely the same rate of interest. Dispatches from Colonel Campbell, at Bago , a, dated the 10th of April, were received yesterday at the Foreign Office. No political event appears to hive occurred in that quarter between Colombia and Peru; tranquillity prevailed throughout the Republic. Colonel Campbell had left Bogota for a few weeks, for the benefit o' his health, and purposed making a tour to the mines work ing by the English Company. Sir Robert Ker Porter, his Majes:y's Consul at Caraccas left that city for Eng land, via the United States, an leave of absence. We have had letters from Panama to the 25th April. His Majesty's ship Alert had arrived there from San Blas, front which place she sailed on the 19tH of the preceding month. The Alert landed at Panama trea sure to the amount of 63,447 dollars, and departed from that place on 23d April with 911,380 dollars, destined for England by way of Cape Horn. The British merchant ship John Catto was cot out from under the batteries of Panama by four armed launches from the Peruvian vessels of war, Congro and Macedonia, on the 7th April. She had been previously taken possession of by the authorities of Panama on the plea of her having been engaged in smuggling at the Pearl Islands. Accounts from Algiers, by way of Leghorn, give a different explanation respecting the Envoy sent by the Sultan to the D., to that hitherto current. It is stated that the object of his visit is to call upon the Dey for a contingent of vessels of war in defence of the Empire, and that the Dey had acquiesced, but expressed his belief that the French blockading squadron would not suffer them to sail. The Commander of tie French force had been applied to, but his answer had not transpired. The Turkish Envoy had proceeded from Algiers to Tunis, Tripoli, and Morocco, with a view to obtain horn the different Governments similar assistance. A letter from Alexandria, dared May 5, says, that though Ibrahim Pacha has not yetti ke„ any consider. able part in the interior administrati , n, yet hr has made many important amel.orations in the system ; and a measure which he has just adopted to er force the pay ment of notes when &It., has given great satisfaction to the European merchants. The brig Tambour had sailed a few days previously for Egina, with 136 Greek slaves, which were ransomed by France. Two French physi cians, who are charged with p' ironing the Chief of a Turkish battalion, and 16 soldiers, have b-en roarchial to the military hospital at Cairn, where they await the decision of the Council of Health upon the circumstances. The North Star has, we understand, been the bearer of some brilliant gems from South America, namely— diamonds, on account of the Brazilian Government—a great part of which are already cut—that Government, with its usual sagacity, having long since imported from Europe machines of the newest construction for that purpose. These diamonds, with the Brazil wood arriving almost weekly, are the exclusive property of the national Tr eavury, and, together with other remit tances from the Northern provinces, in sugar, cotton, and bills of exchange, being at the free disposal of the Brazil Legation in this city, must, under proper manage ment, contribute essentially to uphold the credit of Brazils in Europe, and to improve the currency at Rio d e Janeiro.

It would appear that the fraud was effected by an individual representing himself to be the proprietor of stock, and standing in his name. The particulars, as far as they have transpired, are the:et—The individual alluded to went to a broker, and desired him to sell out 3001. ,tack, which was effected. the broker identifying the party at the Bank in the cus tomary manner, as the party owning the stock standing in the name on the Bank books. Subsequently, it is said, another sale of 501. stock was made by the same broker, 'or the person before alluded to, who again personated the owner of the stock, making the total amount for which the forgeries were committed, 3501. stock. The forgery was soon discovered, but the loss will, we un derstand, in this instance, wholly tall upon the stock brokers, who undertook the task of identifying the in dividual who has thus personated another, but who are fortunately well able to bear the loss. The individual committing the crime has been able to escape, and must have been acquainted with the amount of stock standing in the name of the person whom he represented. and with the manner of transacting business at the Bank. The name of the person committing the forgery has not transpired, but the above statement is given as an accurate account of the transaction. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ASCOT HEATH RACES—(ComcLcDro). Agreeably to the promises held out on Wednesday, the race, yesterday proved highly attractive. the company being numerou and fashionable, the sport very fair, and the weather favourable His Majesty arrived at about twenty minutes before two, accom panied in his carriage by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cum berland, the Duke of Devonshire. and the Duke of Leeds.
