Vogtcrtpt- LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 4. Three o'clock, p.m. The Paris papers of Thursday lust arrived on Sunday. The Turks, it uprears from these, con.. tinue their ferocious career with unabatiag fury:a— The indi4nities ofkred to the body of the venerable Patriarch, whom they murdered, has been as impo litic, as disg , usting, as the whole of the Greek popu lation, capable of bearing arms are expected to join the insurgents. Considering the well-known fana ticism of the Greek Church, it is easy to imagine the dan.,;ers to which the Porto is exposed by this proceeding The Ramadan has commenced, which must be strictly observed on pain of death. No military operations arc permitted during its conti nuance, and as it will not terminate before the 25th of next month, the Greeks will avail themselves of the interim to punish their ruthless and implacable enemies The Greeks have a formidable marine, which will give them a decided advantage over the the Turks , and it is asserted, that the Janizaries h the refused to march, on the ground, that by the .11ws they must remain at Constantinople to protect the capital, until the Sultan can place himself at their head. A Turkish army has crossed the Danube, which is likely to come in contact with the cprps under Ypsilanti and Theodore, so that we may expect to hear speedily of a furious battle having been fought, as neither party will give or take quarter.

A number of respectable persons posi.vely contra dicted the evidence of the approvers, and the prisoners received very good characters. Mr. Justice 13ayley commenced summing ti the et i dence at a (planter betine seven o'clock, and fitiiiiished at half-past nine o'clock. The learned judge, iii coo clusit ni, said, with great heel og—" Gentlemen, we hate now arrived nearly at the conclusioa of ii most nos. tnenimis case, and I have endeavoured to the best of my ahiiity to lay the facts before you in the clearest manner. It has seliMin been my task to preside upon a trial of higher importance than the present; important, both as it re , laids to tile interests of the public and the welfare of tile prisoners at the bar. In your consideration of the case you will remember, that according to the testimony of unimpeachable witnesses, a very wicked outrage has bet commuted, and a gentleman Who W.V. in the exer cise of a duty whicit he was hound to perform, has come to his death by a lawless band; butt, on the other hand, you will also recollect, that the Ines of the six men at the bar are at stake upon your verdict, and unless you snail be of opinion that the evidence is so clear as to produce in your minds a certain convictioil of their guilt, you will give them the full benefits of your doubts, and return a verdict of acqiiitt;:l. With reference to tins part of the case, I cannot no strongly call to your recol lection the extraordinary good character the prisoners hive received. C.:Piano:kr, however, gentlemen, ought not to weigh against bets; if you are satisfied with the evidence that has been adduced, you are bound in justice to the puralic, and by your owls oaisis, to pronounce a verdict of guilty; if you are not perfectly satisfied, then you will take character into your consideration, and let it operate pervert fully in favour of the prisoners. Gen tlemen, I will now leave the case in your hands, am yl:iced that you will come to a dispassionate conclusion, and that you will etii your duty Win to the prisoners and to your country." A pause of some minutes ensued after the learned judge had concluded his admirable charge, and the ,jury then reined, and were absent about 20 minutes. VI hen they rammed into court the most breathless, anxiety was manifested ley the audience, and when the verdict of not guilty teas pronounced, j murmur of applause ran through the court, but was instantly checked. West exclaimed, with tears in his eyes, " My lord, and gen tlemen, 1 thank you front the butt mm of my heart! The outer prisoners bowed gri.tefoilly, hut did not speak. Mr.Jusuce Bayley.—" Prisoners, listen to sue 100 one moment. You have had a m u tt considerate and humane jury, and do sot, 1 entreat you, let your acquittal be re■arded as a mace, of triumph by you, or your connec tions. 1 hope you will carry back to your own county this suggestion, that the iratlie in which persons there are enga A eil, is a moat dangerous and wicked one, and that justice must overtake tiltl3l if they persist in it.— In the case of tu.day it has been proved, that one man has unfortunately been deprived of life, in conse quence of it, aisd I hope what has occurred will make a proper impression on your minds, aml on the minds of others. You have this day had ■ saiking proof of the powerful advantage of good character in the hour of dan ger. Go Isome to your wives and families, and endeavour by future conduct still to maintain the character that has been given you here this day. The address of the learned judge seemed to snake a strong impression on the prisoners.
