The report is still :;:pt up, that the visit of his Grace relates to a farther di snioutiqn in the Army of . Occrt:)at:on. M. St:netn, Permanent Secretary to the French Academy, died on the (2(44 instant, at the advanced age of S 3. He r. twined all his faculties to the last. The Scientific World has sn•.tained another great loss in the perm of the celebrated minerrilogisr, WZItNEK, who died at Dresden on the :;0111 of June, at the age (.1 €7. He has bequeathed to the Crown his excellent collection of rainer.:l; , ,valuf.d at 1,i0,000 crowns. Among the number of manuscripts left by Madame de Sian, one of the most important is said to he a Parallel between the Revolution: of Ensle.nd and France. The r, deral Diet of Switzerland conimenced its Sittings at Berne on the 7th instant. The President, M. WitrrEtivtuz, in his Address to the Diet, on the present state of the Confederation, represented it as being at length plated under the safeguard of Peace,and enjoying the greatest unionand tratiquilit). • The KING of PRUSSIA, who is still at Carlsbad, is expected to visit Sedan, the head-quarters of his army, on the 13th of August. In the Prussian provinces bordering on the Rhine, there has beedot late a scarcity amounting almost to farun.e, in consequence of a delay in the arrival of a supply of grain, to the purchase of which his Majesty had contributed no less than two millions of crowns. His has ordered a .-..trict, enquiry to be made i.ito the administration of t,;:s ::ratter, and declares that lie will measure the punishment of those who have caused th s delay by the misery which has re• salte;i tr,,rn The LNG and Qtmtu of Wirar.unanct have gone horn Baden, the former to Seta, in Alsace. where a considerable detachment of ‘Virtembergese troops is stationed, and the latter to Strasburg. The most recent advises from Milan state, that the petechial disorder diminishes in Lombardy, but that its ravages have been greater than is generally supposed. Among the distinguished persons who have I.llen victims to it, is the learntd botanist and •tgriciptur►st Count Pump. Re, Edi►or of the Anal: d trusoiture, and author of several other valuable works. The Gcadte of Artmberg contains the following paragraph :-4. We are informed that the Editors of the FreiLibarai, who had proceeded from Brussels to lianibiargii. had entertained a project of publishing in this latter town a new periodical paper in place of the Watchman, which is asleep, under the title of the Guardia. of Germans; but this plan was abandoned, bt chase in peaceable timts there is no necessity either for a Watchman or Guardian. In consequence, these political apostles have continued their route towards the North, to seek out some little corner where likero krns may obtain new partizans." French Funds, July VI, 66 f.. 56 c. On the 13th and 20th instant there was some tu mult in the Theatre at Dieppe, of which we have Tectivcd the following part culars from an eye-witness: " BRIGHTON, JULY 24. Having readied this yesterday, after a passage of ten hours run Diappe, I send you the followtag details respecting a Thea trical Fracas at which I wag present, and which may not otker. wise reach you, as few of the workitgs of political feeling are ever suffered to appear in the French Papers —at least till they have been revised by the Police. " On Sunday, for 13th of this month, the Officers of the Mi litary mill Gene sl'Arnses commanded a Play to be performed, ea:taking allitsiona to the conduct of the Citizen.: about twenty-three years ago. Thee ri flections upon their loyalty, dtirhts the revolutionary period, catueil considerable animadver sion. On Sunday law, by way of retort, the re-ident Nobly's, and ptincipal Inhabitants pattcoised a Comedy, which contained several pointed reflections upon the servile spirit of ntilitarj men, representing them as ever ready to swear allegiance to any Mo narch cr Tyrant, As private conversations had previously been 'narked with unpleasant obaertatious, the Theatre was crowded to excess. and the Boxes were chiefly occupied by the Civil and Military Oilcan, with their friends—the Pit and Gallery by the inhabitants of the town. The grit Act proceeded on with mu. that satisfaction; but towards the latter pan of the second Act, a sentence, clinging the Army with abandoning their Monarch, Instantly commenced the haril burl, of discord. The *Officers Perceiving tl.e acrimony of pohtieal feelings, left the Boxes, and endeavoured to restore peace in the Gallery; but their evertlons stkre ofeo avail. loyal and seditious soap ant expressions vo _ _ _ dictated from the Pit and the Gallery. Twelvvle of men were thi n placed in the Gallery, with their arms and bayonets esposed. The populace overpowered this force, arld farther aid was idled isk At length a terrible scuffle mud, in the* midst of which several persons were wounded. Thee OCizers lost no tins, in calNng to their aid all the disposable force in the town and neigh bourhood. The 'Theatre was tin rounded, and, of corm, the . yhole of the audience Was compered to surrender. The pers ons suspected to be active in the contest werMeesed and sent to prison--otheri• were detained as slowillesse, and, as soon as the town was sufildently garrisoned, the remainder were per. wi tte d to return home. By eleven o'clock at AM peace and loud order were rkstored ; bat when J left Dieppe yesterday moreog, the antip:aby tetweta the Military and Ciliate* was ty no mums ;ppe;•ed.'', THE BRAZII.q. A Lisbin Mail arrived this morning, and brought letters to the 12th instant. They are entirely silent re specting the reported capture of Pernambuco by the Portuguese Expe.lition from Rio; and we now doubt very much the statement that this event took place on the 20th of June. Indeed there are other and strong reasons for discrediting the fact. There at letters in town from Maranham of the 4th July, liiteen days later than the reported capture, the news of which, had it occurred on the 20th June, would have reached that place by the 25th: Nay more, before this time we should have received the intelli gence direct from Pernambuco, for it is known that several vessels were lying there loaded and ready to start, being only prevented by tho blockading squa dron. Had the place surrendered, some of them would lave sailed immediately and would have been at Liverpool or London before this time ; kr the voyage may he pertorrtei in six weeks—but say in 50 days; whereas it is now two months and five days—i. e. 66 days sitice the place was reported to have been placed under the Royal flag. EXTRACT Al A LiTTER 1 , 14(41 THE AGENT To LLOYD's AT LI.BON, DATED THE 12Th INSTANT. " Yesterday were landed from a vessel jest arrived from the Azores, part of the crews of the ships Grao Para, and Caroliva, of this port, which were cap tured on the Ist ultimo in the vicinity of those Islands, by an Insurgent schooner privateer, of 1() guns and 130 men.—The first was from Bengal and Rio, the other from China and Bahia. It was calm when they fell in with the privateer, which, by the means of sweeps, got under the stern of the Gran Para, and after capturing her a breeze sprung up, when both the privateer and her prize bore down on the Caroline- I have also to state the arrival here of the Pnassian brig Industry, SCHUMAN. from Riga to one of the Gali cian ports, which had been captured by a Tunisian corsair, and which kft pan of the original crew on board, who rose on the prize master and his men, and threw them all overboard. Accounts from Ca diz and other quarters state, that there is a number of privateers now cruizing, which must do great injury to the trade." The Eliza, SALSZRO, from St. Bartholomew's, hai arrived at Maranham, and been seized there. She was plundered of a groat part of her cargo by the Insurgents at Pernambuco. The VOLAGE frigate which arrived yesterday at Portsmouth from the East Indies, has, we are happy to say, greatly lessened the appreltencions whiclt are entertained of some Indiamen having been lost in the China Seas. The BAROSSA, which was prine;pally mentioned, and on which Insurances were yester day effzcted at Ltovv's at 50, 60, and even so high as 75 guineas per cent, is announced to have arrived safe at China. The Were 'no, one of the other three ships said to have been lost, is reported to have been actually destroyed—net in a wham, be: by fire, at Canton—of the other ships, the EL PHINSTONZ and ANNA, there is no account. Some of our contemporaries, animadverting on the proceedings at Edinburgh on the trial of APKin lay, betray great ignorance of the nature of criminal procedure in Scotland, and express surp•ize that the' Judge should have turned the verdict into matter of stigma on the character of the prisoner. But, look- I ing at the verdict, the Judge would have failed in his duty bad he made any other use of it. In Eng-1 land the Jury must say either 4 ! Gsilty," or " Not • Guilty." . The law allows them no middle course : in Scotland it is otherwise— if the prisoner is conceived by the Jury to be perfectly innocent of the crime laid to his charge, they are bound by their oath to say—" No, Guilty ;" but, on the other hand, if they believe from the evidence that, to a cer- 1 tain extent, his conduct has been criminal, but not of such a quality as deserves to be visited by the full inflictions of the law, they are permitted to qualify their verdict, and free him from its punishment, but not entirely from its censure, by saying Not Proven." If there be sny error in this verdict, that Lys with the Jury alone—not with the Judge, who is bound to receive it. In applying the verdict to the criminal he only acts•as. the organ of the Court—the mouth of the Jury, when they have once returned their verdict. On thii point we think it very possible that, when duly considered, many may be inclined to prefer the Scotch to our own procedure ; for where the minds of Jurymen are fettered, and an unanimous verdict must be given of " GOO), " or, " N .t Cidity, " it must often happen that the evidence will strike them differently. There may be no difference of opinion as to a certain extent of criminality but great doubt whether it reaches that character to which the law ap plies the punishment which would be brought on the person of the culprit by a verdict of " Guilty." In such cases the Jury here have no way of marking their sense of the blame that attaches to the criminal. but are bound to say " Not Guilty ;" fur no indivi. dual who is not convinced of the can yield to his fellow jurors and bring in a verdict of guilty. The conduct of the Judge was, we think, most correct; but he would probably have gained in pub lic estimation, h.d he directly reprobated the con- Atm of those Agents who appeased to have tam pered with the witnesses. tvAr,a mrpLi.larKcp.
