r A CALEDONIAN RENCONTRE. An English Gentleman, in clean array, Walk'd straisht through a wide street—when a low Scot, IU bred and blaugnard—pusied against his way, Fool-tnosabl with whiskey—and with brimstone hot. He ey'd his better with black looks of spleen, And tiptoe, strain'd in vain to vie in height ; Then stripping naked to the dirty skin. • Exposed his scabs—and challenged him to light : But the clean stranger (scarcely moved to frown) Cried—" safely pour thy mown Aare of speech— For if at •swe I deigned to knock thee down, How—after touching—should I 'scope the itch I" ••• • • AFFAIRS OF THE EAST. Constantinople fallen—or about to fall—it is Imperative to In quire what measures of safety our Ministers propose to adopt in so alarming an emergency? To have permitted the Basilan power to extend itself so fearfully beyond the Danube, was a fatal error ; and apathetically to suffer it to remain, will be worse than error—it would be crime—a perfidious sacrifice of Britain's vital in terests a conspiracy against her honour a partcidal acquiescence to an attempt upon her very existence. The merchants of England must wake ; their present passive in difference is endangering the welfare of the country—their silence and forbearance encourage the mysterious conduct of power, corruptly or cowardly circumventing their interests ; yielding without remonstrance is to consent to the sacrifice of our dearest advantages—our superiority as a commercial eons. munity, about to be humbled under the growing ascen dancy of the foreigner. Let some question, blazing on matters of vulpr interest at home, be once started, and you have this nation in a ferment ; while Ministers may commit the grossest faulu in foreign policy, without blame or attention. This is being penny wise and pound foolish. What 'cute Statesman would not gladly submit to the cheeks of party in domestic pony,, to play uncontreuled the grand game of Sovereigns? Courted and feared, or, alas ! littered—while humbugged 7 . by the rival dizectors of thin great globe,—chink ye the Lords Wasxmoeon and ABIRDZIN care for your twitting on the subjects of home ar rangements, in their petty details and distinctions 1 No; nothing snore than the great merchants of the City, engaged in specula tions of trifle with the four quarters of the universe. interfere in the concerns of their kitchens, or pay attention to the state of their chambermaids' carpet-brushes. Absorbed in the arch-damnable conspiracies of a PAITTEILMCII against the dignity of man and the progress of society—forging civil :and religious chains for the na tions of the earth, they leave the moues of the petty squabble to subordinates acting in their names ;--and bowing to Francis—con ciliating Nieholas—coogratubdng Charles—defending Ferdisand— initiating Miguel—and hectoring the constitutional monarch et the Brazils, they parody greatness at the ampoule of the nation's honor. Since the soldiers who now command us have directed the nation, observe the progress of our affairs :--lint, the commercial and manufacturing distresses of our own interior, have met with no relief ;—nay, misery is accumulating so alarmingly, that a crisis is anticipated for the approaching winter. Ireland remains in a frantic state, bordering on open rebellion. A deeper cloud ob scures the face of India ;—Canada has become decidedly refrac tory ;—while party spirit and intrigue disturb the peace of our West India possessions. Now let us contemplate the state of our foreign relations. France is exasperated to fury against us;—its indignation is not to be despised. In Spain and Portugal both Constittitionalists and Apostolic*ls curse us ;—the one party fur our perfidy, the other for the pusillanimous manner in which our occult support is exerted. The people of Belgians behold our treacherous and-constitadomi policy with resentment sad contempt. Italy loads us with execra tion, as the accomplice of its tyrants;—Greece curies secret re venge for our double.dealing heartlessness ;—the Government of United States finds ample justification for its Increasing antipathy. The infant Colombia watches us with suspicion; and the Brazils considers us as its declared enemy and oppressor. This is precisely our position with the other Powers of Europe and America. Scorned and bated by all, except Rome, Vienna, and the knot of Royal Conspirators and their Satellites combined, under the banner of Austria, to work mischief to mankind. If all this is not suMcient to rouse the nation, let us turn to Russia ; who, sneering at our ineptitude, after having most successfully hoodwinked our Cabinet, leaves us to plot with Marravancn and his Jesuits, while be steals a march to the seat oldie Turkish empire. Here is the result of an abominable system of disbooesty and error which will avenge every other turpitude. The Russians, once masters of Constantinople, will. within its very walls, forge a thun der that shall shake England with consternation. In our next we shall point out all the danger we have to apprehend, and consider what means are still left to repair the evil entailed upon us, in so short a time, by our present weak and misguided Ministers.

A report prevails in London that a Russian squadron has passed by,to reinforce Count Heiden, in the Mediterranean. We cannot learn from any of the pilots of this port, or from any other quarter, that such has been the case. Detachments of the 51st, 90th, and 94th regiments are ordered to be sent forthwith to the Mediterranean. That part of the B.ld regiment, which embarked last week, sailed on Wednesday for Leith.

BATTLE OF NAVARIN. COURT MARTIAL uros CAPTAIN DICKENSON, RN. (rams oua conarseonismr.) POILTSMOUIII t SATUILDAT—Taut= DAT. At the meeting of the Court at nine o'clock this morning, Mr. Andrews sent a message to the President, that he was desirous of saying a few words, in consequence of something which he wished to explain in his evidence of yesterday. He bad understood that be was supposed to be implicated in the ship's company's letter, of which he had already said he knew nothing, except what he bad mentioned. His reason for troubling the Court was, that be bad understood yesterday it had been intimated that Commander Dick enson and the crew of the Genoa did not get up this letter (the round robin), bat somebody did ; and he understood his name had been used as that of a person likely to give further information upon it. " I have already," continued Mr. Andrews emphati cally, declared that I know nothing about its origin. I have been 34 years in the service, and I hope I know better than to be en gaged in such an act, and when Capt. Dickenson mentioned it I expressed my opinion upon it." The President—Mr. Andrews, we have not the slightest reason to ',oppose you were concerned in getting up that paper ; and if we even had thought you were involved, your evidence of yester. day, in which you stated that you bad endeavoured to dissuade the Captain from presenting it, would have completely effaced such an impression. Sir Robert Otway repeated the same opinion. The Judge-Advocate—l am bound to say, that Sir Edward Codrington had not the least idea that Mr. Andrews had any con cern in getting it up. The following interrogatarles were then put to Mr. Andrews : Did you know at the time you were apprized of this letter, that any body had been appointed, or was about to he appoilited, to the command of the Genoa?-1 did not. Had you heard any rumour or conjecture of such nomination ? had not. In fact, this occurrence, as well as I call remember, took place only two days after out arrival in 31alta. James Collier was then called to speak concerning the round robin. What situation did you fill nn board the Genoa ea the :oth of October. 1827. and subsequently?—Boatswain'. mate. Can you read??—No, State to the Court what you know of this round robin?—A letter was requested to be written by the petty officers and ship's company at large to the Vice-Admiral, requesting hint to keep Captain Dickenson as Commander. If you know who wrote that letter, name him ?—I cannot ex actly state who did. nor did I hear it read on board, though I knew it had been. and I saw the letter myself at the time it was agreed to on the lower deck, before James Burgess, the captain of the forecastle. The letter in Court was very like what I saw on hoard when 100 or 200 of the ship's crow were present, or more, attending to it. The President—Do you know what it was that led the ship's company to do this ?—Beins used to Captain Dickenson, we did not like to have a strange commander : we preferred to have hits. Sir R. away—Do you know by any means whether Captain Dickenson, or any of the ward.toont (I don't mean petty) officers, had any thing to do in getting up that letter?—No, Sir ; none. Captain Inglefield— You are quite confident of that, are you ? I am, Sir. The President—Where were you stationed in the action?— Third gun from the mast on the main deck. Had you but work of it P—Yes, we had. From what ship were you engaged most?—The Turkish line of battle ship. For bow long ?—lt might be (our hours, I think. Do you know whether your gun was at any time pointed at my thing else than that Turkish ship ?—No, Sir, we always fired at her. I was captain of the gun. Had you to train it much to fire at her?—Sometime, we were about half a point forward. At what part of that ship which was so near you did you point your gun 2—Between wind and water. Were you lying head and stern ?—Yes. Could you see her bowsprit ?—Yes. and it was nearly in a line with my gun. Sir H. Blackwood.—Does it come within your own knowledge that all or a great proportion of your starboard guns were fired during the time you speak upon your opponent ?—Yes. Sir. Did the ship vary her position much ?—About half a petit. I should think. Du you know whether springs were made use of, and bow often ?—Yes, Sir, once I can speak to. Were the stern guns on the main deck fired?—Yea, from the larboard stern port. Do you know that at any period during the action any and what number of guns were fired on the larboard side ?—None that I know of ; but t h ey m i g h t. .. .... Did you see the object on which the larboard stern gun was fired I —To the best of my recollection it was at a double-banked frigate. I saw that myself. .Catild you see the Aria out of that stern port I—Yes, Sir, by looking two points on the starboard.quarter, I think. Did you see a schooner or cutter lying near her or asternl—No. Was that double.banked frigate a cable's length from you/ Two lengths I think, I can't be positive. Captain Schoenberg—l a.k you, as a seaman, was the Genoa placed advantageously to bring her broadside to bear upon her op ponent during the action ?—Yes, Sir. Captain Slimly—Could the stern gun have been pointed to the Asia, if you had wished it ?—I can't say, Sir. Captain Elliott—Was your opponent the Turkish Une-of-battle ship) ever two points abaft your beam?—No, Sir; never, I think, above half a point. Hew often could you see your opponent so as to take aim ?—1 believe, about every quarter of an hour or 20 minutes. Could you at that time see the whole of the ship, or only a part of her?—Sometimes part, sometimes the whole. Did you ever see the Albion during the action?—No, Sir. Were you ordered to point your guns at the water line?—Yes. With what shot ?—Always round shot, sometimes double, some times single. The President—Were they constantly firing during the whole of the action, I mean your gun ?—Yes, Sir. Captain Inglefield— Was the Genoa raked at any time of the aedon, and if so, by what ship ?—1 cannot say ; no ,hoc came in at my quarters in a raking direction. There were several shut nest day on our side. Were any men killed or wounded at your quarters 7—Noun at my gun. Captain Gordon—Are you sure that thr starboard stern gun was ever fired during the action ?—I cannot say. Was it out at the stern port ?—Yes, Sir. Was that done before you went into action?—Going in. At what time of the action was the spring used, was it early or late?—About two hours after we began, I think. Can you particularize any person, either officer or man, seen by you, hauling on the springs?—l saw Captain Dickenson himself. Did you see the Turkish line-cal-battle-ship out of your pun ? —Yes. Was she before or abaft the beam ?—Abaft a little; sbe sprung, I think, above half a puint. • • Io answer to questions from Capt. Mundy, he said he bad been 16 years in the King's service, but bad never been in action be fore. When be mentioned hot work at his gun, what he meant waso.the labour of pointing thr gun, and the bre of the enemy. (Apish Mundy—But if nobody was hurt it your guns, your hot work must have been froas mere manual labOur.—The Turkish ship of the line sometimes ceased Bring for about twenty minutes. The President—ln what part of the ship was the greater number of the Genoa's men killed ?—About the main hatchway. Cross-examined by Capt. Dickenson—At this distant period can you recollect whether I was on board the Asia a abort time after the battle ceased ?—I cannot say. Captain Morris, who was a Lieutenant of the Genoa at the bat. tie of Navaine said he was quartered at the eight foremost guns of the main dra, and considered their opponent to be the Turkish 74, tipott which they had brought their guns to bear immediately after the action began, chiefly upon her hull midships. They could bring the guns near hi, quarters to bear upon the opponent by training, except the three foremost. The Genoa's posit on was first taken without udtag springs although he heard thi were used afterwards. She anchored in a parallel line with her opponent. He was on the main deck when the ship an chored, but be had been on the upper deck previous to her firing. The Turkish frigate was lying broadside out when they went in. He bad received and given directions to the men to avoid firing near the Albion, towards the latter part of the action. There were, at the 7th and Sib guns of his quarters, nearly all the men killed and wounded by the shot of their opponent, as well as be could judge. They must have been in action with that Turkish 74 about three hours and a half, or four hours. At this distance, It was im possible for him to speak upon details with minute accuracy. Capt. Curzon was called, and at the same time a basket, con taining several 521 b. British shot, was brought into Court, muted with the King's mark, as was said. When this shot was examined, nobody could, however, prove it to be British ; and Sir H. B ack wood said, even if it were, it would not bear on this case, for the Turkish ships had shots of all nations. President—How long was the Asia in action with the C.pitana Bey'a ship cannot p ossibly tell exactly. Were you two hours .—No, I think not one; sbe was silenced sins ; had not a gun out of her board, or a man to be sees en her decks, before she drifted. How many broadsides did she fire at the Asia 7—lt is difilcult for me to say, but I do not think she loaded ber guns three times. How long was the Asia in action with the ship of Moharem Bey?—slitokatens Bey's cables were either cut or shot away in less than ten minutes, and she drifted away out of our fire. I think we gave her oidy wo broadsides After the first ten minutes, what fire did you keep up ? cannot exactly say. Cross-examined by Capt. Dickenson—Did the Capitana Rey's ship strike her colours when she went adrift?—Sloe diJ not. Did blobarem Bey's, or any of the Turkish ships?—l saw none of them strike their colours. On the nest morning the Turkish ships had both French and English colours up. How long did the Genoa bre after the Asia bad ceased?-1 have really no precise recollection, for I was scut ea board the Trident to stop her hre. Sir Edward Codrington here sent in a note to the Court, stating that he wished to explain the promotion he made after the death of Captain Bathurst. and was introduced for this purpose. He said— " Thinkingthat I bad left an impression on the Court yesterday, that I had promoted Capt. Irby to the vacancy caused by Capt. Bath urst's death, in the Genoa, I beg leave to explain, that I gave that vacancy to Capt. Davis, then commander of the Rose,by the concur tent testimony, I may say, of the whole Allied fit -et, as to his es • traordioary merits and superior claims; and I made known to hhn, and generally to the officers who came on board the Asia, that such was my decisioo on the 21st, before Captain Davis kit the fleet with the dispatches ; and I will add. that if times bad been chival rous. and I had had chivalrous power, I should hive knighted him no the field of battle; such was my admiration of his condect.— Nly reason for sending him off immediately with dispatches to Smyrna was this—Admiral de Rigify, on (witting Smyrna the first time after receiving the Treaty and the Instructions of the 6th of July, 1 t 137. concerted a private signal between him and the French Consul lor the information of the other Consuls, resident at Smyrna in case of any collision taking place between the Allied and Otto man fleets ; and also for the protection of the Franks in the Turkish dominions, by enabling the British Consul to communi cate rapidly with Bar British Ambassador at Constantinople, in the event of any re-action by the Turks. MIA some mere formal evidence was adduced, the Judge-Ad vocate announced that he had closed the case for the prosecution. The Court was then cleared for an hour ; and, upon the re-ad mision of strangers, the President informed Captain Dickenson that the prosecution was closed, and he was now called non for his defence. _ _ _ . Captain Dickenson—l would, if allowed that indulgence t.y the Corer, solicit until Wednesday or Thursday neat for thJt purpose, promising 'he Court that my defence shAll he as short as possible under the circumstances. The President— We rely upon your making it as short as you can. Sir H. libeler:wed—You bad better take at once the time you think you shall require. Captain Dickenson—Then, on Thursday I shall certainly be ready ; but should my defence be prepared sooner, I will notify it to the Court, as I am aware they must meet daily. The President—Yes ; the Court can only adjourn from day to day. We .ball adjourn now to en o'clock on 31onday morning. Mr. Minchin, the Solicitor for the defendant, promised that not a monieut should be lost in completing the rrarganent% for the defence. _ _ _ From the lbzwpsh;re Telegraph. Pumas. TH, Sim 5. The Court-martial on Captain Dickenson still continues to en gross attention, and to excite very con-iderable interest, which h.. rather increased than diminished a. the business has advanced to wards a termination. The evidence for the prosecution closed to-day, and the Court have granted Captain Dickenson the in tervening days to Thursday to prepare his defence. It is evi dent that the trial lass occasioned a strong sensation, and given birth to a variety of feelings and opinions, which, with the ex traordinary circumstances of the case, must render the event a kind et epoch in our naval history. All patties appear to be placed in a difficult and painful situation, arising from a complication of causes which it is impossible wholly to develop; and if ever there was a case calculated to show the necessity of abridging the limit of time for bringing accusations to trial, the present instance has established it, evincing, as it dors, how imperfectly facts are remembered beyond a period even shorter than that which our naval code has appointed as a term of limitation to prosecutions. By the narrative of Sir Edward Codrington with the Admiralty, which he gave to the Court, we have an insight into the origin of this remarkable trial, and little is now wanting to make the history complete. The narrative brought the correspondence down to the letter of information dated the 17th of July, 1829, which the Vice-Admiral has emphatically said at the table of the Court, he placed before the Admiralty for their Lordships to consider, and out of which they might extract such charges, as they bad witnesses to depose to, and not as Welt a charge, upon which Captain Dickenson ought to be arraigned. He has also complained that his statement so given in deference to the Heard, who bad decided on a trial which he bad relin quished, has been put before the Court without the other let ters, which would show that the line he has adopted ha. been forced upon him. He quoted on one occasion from Mr. Croker', letter, certain expressions confirming the impossibility of his acting otherwise than be had done under circumstances, such as, " you have brought charges—it is incumbent on you to prove your said charges—and I am desired to ask if you are ready to proceed to the trial, and so forth. The refusal of the Court to receive these letters has led the Vice-Admiral to show the whole correspondence freely amongst his professional frienda,wbo, to do them justice, we must say, follow his example of being pretty com municative; and we have therefore learned that the remainder of Mr. Croker's letters, not gone into on Friday, and which the Vice. Admiral referred to in au early stage of the pioceTtlings, as material in elucidation of the one letter from him, which was read to the Court by the Deputy Judge Advocate, upon the point of his own p sidon, exhibits strong proofs of the first order for trial having beet, given in hostility to him. We have caught the following expres sioos--" Sir Edward Codrington not having asked for a Court martial, could net, of course, be held bound to undertake the dis tinct character of prosecutor; but as charges were made by Sir Edward Codrington which their Lordships considered rt quired in vestigation at a Court-martial, it was incumbent on him to establish the truth of the charges advanced"—" It was fur Sir Edward Cudrington to take measures with the Judge-Advocate to substan tiate the charges ; or if he declined so doing, their Lordships would consider themselves at liberty to view Capt. Dickenson's con duct as free from all imputation," &c.—" Sir Edward Codrington was to state if be were willing that the trial should proceed " " And that if Sir Edward Codrington did not appear willing (or the trial to go on, as before understood, the Admiralty had no alter native, but to consider Capt. Dickenson free from all imputation." These extracts. as coating from the Admiralty's Secretary, did nut deter the Vice-Admiral from moving steadily onward in the course be had chalked out for himself. Bolton Abbey, in Yorkshire, has become the favourite residence of the Duke of Davouswiaa, during the autumn of the year. At Christmas the princely Palace of Chatsworth enables his Grace to entertain isrge parties, and in the spring, the Villa of Chiswick, and the dinners, balls, and rotates at Devuushire-house, fill op the measure of his Grace's hospitality.
