RUSSIA. PROM A PRIVATE LETTER. PETERSBIIRGH, JULY 6. . es The present Emperor h?s gained, and is every day gaining, great and deserved popularity. 1-14 activity is very remarkable; and, perhaps, no man in his domi nions works more hours, or works harder, than he does. He eats and sleeps little, and is a pattern of conjugal and parental affection. He has set zealously and fear lessly to work, to correct the abuses whichhad invaded every department of the Government under Alexander's reign, who was, without question, a well-intentioned and kind-hearted man; but in hi; latter - years he had sunk into apathy and indolence, and suffered the vilest corruption and oppression to be practised. 44 Trade is at a very low ebb here just now. There is hula or no demand for the staple articles of produc tion, and neither hemp, timber, nor tallow, can command anything like last year's prices. " The finances are not in the most 11 our' string con dition, but they Must thrive more- and more every day, under the improved system which is now to be adopted in every -department. A great source of wealth to in dividuals, as well as to the Government, is looked to in the vastly increased produce of the gold mines in Sibe ria. Last year no less than four hundred pounds weight of gold—equal to 14,4001b5. in English, averdupois' weight—or say, in value, about a million sterling, was, as I am told, sent to the Mint here, from these mines. 10 The Emperor and Empress are expected to set out for Moscow for the Coronation, in three weeks. The day on which the ceremony will take place is not yet fixed. In the mean time this capital is thronged with Ambassadors and strangers. Among the former, ourj own Representative, the Duke of Devonshire, certainly attracts the most notice, by the brilliancy and splendour of his establishment and equipages, and the number and high rank of the Gentlemen composing his suite. One of them, Lord Francis Levison Gower, who has distinguished himself with you at home, by his talents ' and literary acquirements, and, dining his short stay here, has acquired the good opinion of all who met him, is about to take his deparzure for England. The 'on dit is, that nothing could surpass the kind and fiat • tering reception the Duke has had, both from the Em peror and Empress.-" FRENCH PAPERS. IROU TUE JOURN4L DC PARIS 01 MONDAY. LISBON. Jinx IS. The Gazette of this day contains the following letter from the Infant Don Miguel to his sister, the Priacess Regent, written before he heard of the new Constitution. " MT DEAR SISTEE,—The impatience with which I expected to hear from you, can ;oily be comparable with the inexpressible joy which I f It on the receipt of your letter of the Ilth of May last. Being entirely without any direst news of you, and of our beloved fa mily, since the death of our father and sovereign, judge, my dear sister, what pleasure your -letter has afforded me. The sweetest reward of the sentiments with which I am animated, and which I communicated to you by my letter of the 6th of April, is, undoubtedly, the ap probation you bestow on them; and I esteem myself , very happy if the sincere and authentic manifestation of I these sentiments has contributed to the preservation of good order and tranquillity in Portugal, which were the chief objects I had in view in writing my letter of the 6th of April; and I thank you, my dear sister, for your determination to have it printed without delay; for what I desire, above all things, is to show to the nation, that the qualities in which I most pride myself are those of an obedient son, a faithful subject, and good Portuguese. " As for your private sentiments, nobody can opine elate them better than myself; and knowing you to be exempt from all ambition, I conceive what violence you must have done your own inclinations to accept the heavy burden which the last care of our august King has imposed on you, till the legitimate heir to the king dom) to whom we all owe submission, shall have de clared his will. gs I mast now, my dear sister, thank your goodness for having kindly turned your ,attention to the house hold of the Infantado, which fray absence from the king dom made very necessary. I regret that our august mother is hindered by her weak health from accepting the administration of the household of the Infantade, which you proposed to her; and I thank you for baying taken it on yourself, till I should express my intentions respecting the adthinistration, which I now do, by beg- Bing you to be so good as to continue to manage the housghold of the Infantado, to which effect I you hereleith the necessary powers; and being fully cuo vinced of your friendship and your regard for me, I send you also a power of attorney to proceed to the division of the private property which has come to us ;n consequence of the death of our late ingust father and sovereign. I expect from your sisterly affection that you will have the kindness to take on yourself ibis affair. I pray to Goy to preset ve you, my dearsister, as is the wish of your respectful and grateful brother, " Vienna, July 14. (Signed) ag MIGUEL." Some persons of the interior classes have behaved, within these few days, as well in the theatres as in the streets, with an impudence which has gone so far as to insult even persons wearing the cross of fidelity to the King. The same individuals are known as having been avowed demagogues in 1822 ; they afterwards acted in such a manner as to obtain the medal of fidelity; and, within a short time, they again have shown themselves what they are—that is to say enemies to royalty, and to all kinds of public distinctions; but the proclamation of the Regency has already indicated the course our Government means to follow.

NASII r. MARSIL. Mr. HlttOls applied to the Court on the part of the plaintiff inthis case, praying That a former order to the assignees of Hirsh, Scracey, Graham, and FauntleroY. "to deliver ep to plaintiff all acceptances of his which were in their hands, nr those of their agents, on the 16th of September, 1824," (which was the date of the com mission of blnkruptcy), should be amended, and that it should now stmt thui—" should deliver up to him all his acceptances in their hands," without any reference to dates. MONTAOI72 opposed the application, and contended that it would be an act of injustice to the interests of the alnignees. The VICE CHANCELLOR said, that he could not ex- tend the former order to acceptances, which had, on the day named, been in the hands of bona fide lrilders, and which might have since come into thz hands of the as- 1 signees. The assignees having acquired such accept enc.!: would be entitled to all the equities that had be longed to the previous holders. He must therefore . re fuse the motion. • • INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Aimee 3. The Court was occupied to-day in. disposing of cases which has! been heard on former days, but had stood over to produce documents, complete services, Ste. Alm Having already reported any circumstances of public interest which belunged to them it is unnecessary to re peat them now. Edward Peters and David Carter were remanded within the prison walls for eight, and George Bingham and Morris John Mellon fur six calendar months each. William White, late proprietor of the British and Indian Observer, who had been opposed by Captain Kinnaird Smith for the amount of a verdict re covered against him in an action of libel, was declared entitled to his discharge; the Cater CoatstissioNsta ob serving, that neither his predecessors in this Court, nor, consequently, himself, had construed libel or slander to be a malicious injury within the meaning of the old Act of Parliament, during the operation of which the pre sent case arose. By the present Act, however, libel was expressly mentioned : and it was extremely proper that it should be so. made a ground for withholding an in solvent's_discharge, because it was quite Monstrous to say, that a man might go on libelling another as long as he pleased, and then defeat the verdict of a jury by taking the benefit of the Insolvent Act. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MONMOUTH, Ann: I. Mr. J. Morgan, one of the proprietors, and the con ducting manager of the GAS Works at Newport, in this county, was indicted for an assault with intent to com mit-a rape upon Martha Reece, a smart-looking girl,. sixteen years of age, who was a neighbour's servant, in the habit of going to Mr. Morgan's promises to pur chase coke for her mistress. The assault was stated by the girl to have been committed between six and seven o'clock on the evening of the 19th of January last. The case excited sonic interest, from the respectabi lity of the prisoner, and the deliberate manner in which the girl bad persevered in her statement, since the time of the occurrence. The prosecutrix was examined at considerable length, and her evidence was, that her mistress bad sent her to buy a basket of coke at Mr. Morgan's store yard ; that Mr. Morgan had taken her into his store, and there made the assault which was described in the indict ment. She, however, succeeded in preventing his in tention, but nevertheless remained for the coke, took it from Mr. Morgan, borrowed one of his baskets, and carried it back again the same evening to the yard. She never left the premises smirking and laughing, or spoke to Mr. Morgan when she returned the basket. She icompleined to her mistress on the same evening, but never went before a Magistrate, her father being told that it was better to keep the ease for the Assizes. She went into a fit on returning to her mistress, but posi tively declared that she had given no encouragement for the assault, and had never since made any offer to compromise the matter. She had cried " murder" while with Mr. Morgan, but she supposed the reason she was not heard without was, that the gas house being high, the sound ascended within, and did not pass through the yard door, which was wide open all the time. The next - witness was Dinah Roberts, who stated that the prosecutrix had been her servant in her shop at Newport. She remembered sending her for some coke to Mr. Morgan's; and also, that when she returned, she was in low spirits, and in about an hour she went into a strong fit, and it required the aid of several persons to hold her. When she regained her senses, she was much exhausted. She had lived with witness four years, and had never been in fits before. Charlotte Roberts corroborated the evidence of the last witness, adding, that the prosecutriz told her, as soon as she brought home the coke, what had been done by Mr. Morgan. Croes-exantined—After this, she went back with the basket to Mr. Morgan's. Lewis Edwards deposed, that he had met the father of the prosecutriz at her brother's • he was accompanied there by Mr. Morgan, who remained outside. As, how ever, this visit was made without the desire of the de fendant, the further examination of this witness was not permitted. He added, that Mr. Morgan was a most re. spectable young man, married, and having a child. Charles Reece, the lath, r of the prosecutriz, said, that soon after this business he was accosted by defendant, who said, " Reece, I understand you are muckannoyed at what passed between your daughter and me. Why, I have only kissed her." Witness answered, " You have not only done that, but nearly killed her." " Well," said Morgan, "I shall give her a #ound." Witness walked away. In his cross-examination he said, that his daughter never went before a Magistrate at Newport about this matter, because that was the advice of Mr. Smith, the Attorney, who des red theta to keep it for the assizes.— Witness, such had been his worse luck, was certainly a plaintiff in a court of justice in an action of crirt. cwt. 'about his present wife, with whom, however, be bad suge resumed ctshabitation. Mr. rustirrs addressed the Jury for the defendant, and called witnesses lathe defente. My. Justice Boutotnut said, that in eases of this nature . , Whs. hove& juries to watch very clearly the evidence of the proseeottti, for upon that chiefly depended the ground wort of their, verdict. , He then summed up the whole of the evidence, and the Jury, alto. a few minutes' consultation, acquitted the prisoner. t AIAIDSTOCIF, imam 2. John Pede, alias George Watson, a man of most re., spectable appearance and gentlemanly deportment, 'desciih:d is the calendar as a.merchant„was arraigned. on lour several indictments for forging bills of exchange on houses in the metropolis, purporting tobe drawn by• foreign houses, to the amount, in the - whole, of abOut 1501. and uttering the same at Penshumt, knowing them to be forged, with intent to defraud persons in this county.—The prisoner, though humanely warned oft his peril by the Learned Judge, persisted in pleading Gui/ty to all the indiermentsSentente postponed. The prisoner's self-possession did not desert him throughout this appalling situation. It was rumoured throughout the Court that he word 3 stand his trial,though he had, since his apprehension, determined on the line of conduct which he this day pursued. and the post ponement which he requested in the earlier pan of the day, gave a kind of confirmation to the report.-- That, however, did not proceed from any thing like hesitation; as it was solely asked to enable him to execute a conveyance, which had been in preparation, of some property, the fruits of his plunder, in favour of an tra fortunwe female whom he had seduced from her friends, and who was for the last two years his associate in the daring schemes by which he levied contributions upon the public ; and thus, by a strange anomaly in our cri minal code, whilst the personal chattels of the criminal are pronounced forfeited, he is still allowed to execute deeds by Which landed property to any extent may be conveyed, if executed previous to arraignment and con. ♦fiction. We understand that the prisoner is from the neighbourhood of Cockermouth, and is most respectably connected there. He was employed as a commercial traveller for many years by a first-ratehou se, and having become a defaulter to them about seven years ago, he absconded, and has ever since pursued the course which has led him to his fate. He is stated in the calendar to be only 38 years of age, and appeared at the bar plainly dressed in a blue sailor-like jacket, and drab terseymere pantaloons. CAItLISLS, Amos I. Hannah Grave, a prepossAssing young female, was , indicted for privately stealing 14 a dwelling house a quantity of lace, Ike. the property of him Margaret Nicholson, of Cockernsouth, in this county.' It appeared that the prosecetrir kept a dtest•maker's and milliner's shop, iiitbeabode place. and the upper part of the house was occupied by a - person natotd Stodatt„ with whom the prisoner lived aß,sarvant. In consequence of articles of lace being frequently missed out of the shop, the prisoner was tared with stealing them. Her box was searched, and a' piece - of lace con taining several yards was found thetein,,;iihich the prosecutrix recognited to .be her property, which she identified by the pattern s and.ahto the orige ante:pin& ing with-the aige. 401.14 - .44freirsillerwhnistii-seeseVetb s3e, accordingly, was carried before a Magistrate, by whom she WAS COThlrlittAd: The hits betoglioved in evidence, The Jury said, they did net believe the hashed been proved is evidence. • Mr. Justice PAVE (waraily)—Why so, Oeptlemen?

These cases are gene rally proved by circumstances alone. Sr, if this be your opinion, you are not fit to be a juror. In this case the law has done all that is required; the ptosecutrix has proved the propeity found in - the prisoner's box i s . . be hers —now, what motets . required 7 The Jury then consulted, and at length wit], they found the prig." amset guiltrof having the late ht her possession. Janus—That won't do. I can't sake that verdict. Foreman—.Weil, then. guilty altogether. The verdict of guilty was then recorded. and the prisoner, after an admonition, was sentenced to three months' imprisoiment, and -- to be kept to hard labour. Richard Bailey, John Thompson, and Mary Cool, were indicted for a highway robbery, committed by them upon the person of itihn bl , Master, at- three o'clock oet the morning of the 18dt of March last. From the•avi dence of M , Master, it appeared he had been drinking at a house some distance from his own home, with amass named Stuart, and another person, and that when Le-weei about to return, Stuart's friends begged him scr stoke Stuart. who was very drunk, under his peoteetiort; he did so ; but just before they got to the worts. in. which the two courts are situated, Stuart burst wrap. from him, and ran up to a bad house. from whence, however, he speedily retreated, having had someetrater, thrown at him. The two men -and the woman Shea rushed upon prosecutor, who was left alone in the meets" and while the men beat him, the woman snatched-his. watch from his pocket with such violence as to • seat , that side of the pocket ; prosecutor afterwards gotta watchman, and had them apprehended. • ~ • :34,-• In giving this evidence, and on his cross•examioation, the prosecutor spoke so mach of not stretching, hisaos. science, that Mr. Justice Park at last remarked that the. often thou en those people who talked the. least *boot their consciences mint:fed them the most. The prosecutor swore that Stuart was very drunk, but that he himself was perfectly sober. Stuart, on ben! examinedoraried a little from M ' Master's ate r . ment ; and, from his testimony, it hardly seemed possible that the prosecutor could hate been quite sober. A boy named Reed, who had been brought up by Habeas Corpus, from the city gaol, in which he WAI confined under a sentence passed on him at the seisicias, behaved with great impudence. Ile :More chit he was present on the mottling in question, and s'esi Rik prosecutor beaten by the two mate prisoners, and that afterwards the female prisoner told him to 'call upon her the next day at two o'clock, but that he called at eight in the morning, when she :hewed him a silver watch, and told him that he might do what he pleased with it; that he took it and told tweed people about it; thAt this watch afterward: proved to be the prose.utor's, and that when the Constable came to him (geed), and asked whether he had*socht, swore, that Reed denied a watch, he said yes, and gave it up it once.
