would not swerve from the truth against his corn rades, and he says—" The men went out on the 14th, wider the orders of the civil power. I cautioned them of Mat fact. It is the constant rule to inform the men, when they go out under the civil power, to act by the direction of that power, and by its orders alone." Now, upon these conclusive sentences, we should consider it established that the Life Guards were wrong—syllogistically thus—the Life Guards were cautioned that " they were to act by the directions of the Civil Power, and by its orders alone"—the Life Guards did cut down and fire upon the people without receiving an order so to do front the Civil Power —ergo--the Life Guards acted unjustifiably, and if the parties can be identified they ought to be punished—but every impediment has been thrown in the way of such identification. We therefore rejoice that in one of the two instances a general verdict of " Wilful Murder against a Life Guards man unknown to us Jurors," has been returned; and hereafter, without doubt, conviction will over tax the gui!•y. In the remaining instance a simi lar verdict may be preferable to a specific one—there, the party has been pointed out; he will ogain be pointed out, and he will not, we fervently hope, escape. His Majesty's reception in Ireland has been, en thusiastic—and he appears to be pleased at it—he has been almost without a military escort, and the people have been gratified at that. —Why, we would ask, is not the same confidence placed by Ministers in the English—but that they fear the distortion they have given to the feelings of the King should be dune away—they have deceived liiin as to the loyalty of his people, and they are guilty of every aggression against them to give posthumous verity to their lying report. An English King must be ♦ery bad indeed to need soldiers to guard him from his people, and his present Majesty is libelled by the representation of such necessity. The Messiah, who was lately announced with so much pomp to have arrived in Greece, is no other than Joseph Buonaparte, the Ex-King of Spain, who has quitted America, accompanied by Lefebre Desnouettes, the brothers of Lallemands, and other French officers, for the purpose of offering their services to the Greeks. These officers would be a valuable acquisition, but as to Joseph himself, he has no talent whatever for military enterprise.— According to accounts from Leghorn, of the 6th instant, the Isles of the Archipelago continue suc cessively to shake off the Turkish yoke. At Candle the Turks have been compelled to surrender two forts to the Greeks, who have established an Admi ralty Council in the Island of Hydra, composed of experienced mariners, who direct all the naval ope rations in that quarter. Notwithstanding the Con gress which it is said is to assemble of the Ministers of the Allied Powers, to deliberate on important affairs relative to the East of Europe, yet we find the Austrian army concentrating on the frontiers of the Ottoman Empire, receives reinforcements daily.— Magazines are establishing in Hungary, and the ex portation of grain has been prohibited in Bohemia. It is even rumoured that a conflict has taken place between the advanced guards of the Russian and Ot- ' toman forces on the I'urth. The Russian troops amount at this moment to the alarming number of 91,000 men, exclusively of the colonization forces and the permanent army of Siberia. This is a gi gantic force, and cannot be viewed without alarm by the Powers of Europe. The Emperor Alexander has evidently in view to instil a martial spirit into the entire population of Russia, and therefore we have cause to suspect that his object is aggrandize ment whenever op,ortunity offers. The Paris Papers of Wednesday have arrived ; their contents are unimportant. The following are extracts:— °Davi*, JULY 94.—We wait with the most lively im patience the neat news foam Constantinopli. A letter from this Capital, dated the 141ItufJuly observes, that the Divan is disposed to accept the mediutiou of Austria and Logland, THE NATIONAL REGISTER and give to Russia the satisfaction which she demands. But those who know the fanaticism of the Turkish people and the weakness of the Government, will, with difficulty, believe that the Grand Seignnr can succeed in sending the Asiatic ravages home without booty, or prevail upon the inhabitants of this Capital quietly to behold the rebuilding of Christian churches. If the Sultan has authority to calm his irritated soldiers and people, peace nviy be preserved. Pusan, JULY 27.—The Russian troops, who have been long waiting upon the shores of the Dc inn fur orders to march, we learn (ruin good authority, have at leueth received them, and they are directing their match to the south eastern frontier of the empire. They will,undoubtedly,bereplaced frum the interior. AUG. 12.-.-Letters from Dantzic, which arrived yesterday, announce that some bloody and tumultuous scenes have taken place between the Christians and the Jews. and that neittary inteference has been necessary. M 4 DRIO, AUG. 13.—The Miscellanea has published ex. tracts from the proceedings instituted against the authors of the massacres in Cadiz, on the fatal 100 of Hatch last year. The re sult of the testi ttttt ny of a great crowd of witness.' proves that every possible means of seduction was employed to indscr the soldiers to massacre the ink aid money were dim ibuted in site Inveigle , . The Generals Caption, Freyte, Rodriguez, Valdez ; tete Colonels 6abarie and Capneete,tind many subaltern officers eve greatly COW promised, The sentence will be quickly pronounced. The three Generals and the sup. rior (Aim are strictly guarded. The people wait with gnat impatience for jostice.—Tlke were 136 persons killed and grievously wounded. The Journal de Paris eontains the following cu rious piece of intelligence:—" We have already stated that a report prevails in London that George IV. will contract, after a few months, a new mar riage. Some pretend that it will be with the sister of Prince Esterhazy; others say the sister of Prince Leopold his Majesty's son-in-law." The remains of her late Majesty have reached Cuxhaven. Early on Sunday morning last the funeral squadron, consisting of his Majesty's ship Glasgow, with the Royal corpse on board, accom panied by the Tyne, the Rosario, the Wye, and the Gannett, appeared off that port. They had not been brought to an anchor when the mail left Cuxhaven ; but as the wind was then blowing from the eastward, it was supposed that it would be necessary to moor the vessels, and that some days might elapse before the fleet, on account of the prevalence of easterly winds, could proceed up the Elbe as far as Stadt, the place fixed upon for the disembarkation. At a dinner given by his Majesty in the Park of Dublin, on the 15th inst. the Dutch Ambassador. Baron Fagel, was present. He was, according to the custom of his Court, decorated with some orange ornament. On his Majesty's observing the decoration, he is reported to have said to the Am bassador—" My dear Baron, this is a very excellent colour in the Netherlands, but in this country it does not do so well; I pray you lay it aside fur my sake." On the day of his Majesty's entry into Dublin, a Dragoon, pressing on the people at the Circular, road, near Eccles -street, a nobleman of high dis tinction, from his carriage, reprimanded him severe ly, stating that " the King would be very angry if he had seen the humblest of his people ill-used ;" and ordered him forthwith to desist. Quebec papers to the the Roth ult. arrived on Friday. Some inconvenience to the merchants of Canada appears likely to arise from the too limited period allowed for c►rrying into operation the new timber act, particularly as regards that portion of it relating to the transit of American timber through the province. Property in timber to a great value from Lake Champlain was then in the Canada mar ket, contracted and paid fir on British account last year, and which arrived in Canada previous to the passing of the law. Most of the surplus value of this timber was on account of the merchants of Lake Champlain and other places, and intended, in the usual way, as a remittance to pay their Canada debts. Little doubt was, however, entertained by the commercial interest of Quebec, that, on a pro- ' per representation of the ease being made to the British Ministry, those goods will be allowed to be taken to England on the same footing as American property actually deposited in Quebec previous to the 25th of March last. The Quebec Gazelle, in commenting on the possible disappointment of this expectation, observes with a ftecduin rather remark able fir a paper under the immediate control of the Government, that it would arise from there being " no accredited agent to Parliament to represent the interests of the country." A census of the city of Montreal this season fixes the number of inhabitants at 30,000. The preparations making at Wynnstay by Sir W. W. Wynn, for the reception of his Majesty, are of the most splendid order. Cooks, confectioners, and mechanics, in great numbers, have left town to assist in the preparation. The Dipatch transport is arrived from Alexan dria; it has un board several colossal pieeLs of anti quity, discovered by Mr. Belzoni in Egypt.—Also arrived the lung expected sarcophagus ut' alabaster found in the Egyptian tomb at Thebes. This rare piece of antiquity is now at Deptford : it was brought over by a Turkish frigate. POETRY. .-.m..- " AT LAST THEY HAVE DESTROYED ME!" ST THE IEV. J. NIGHTINGALE.

Since this day week we have had several fresh arrivals of fine Wheat from the coasts of Essex, Kent. and Sutflrik, but there was very little disposition to buy, and although the apearance of the weather was favourable for a rise in the price of wheat, yet an unusual dullness pervaded the market, and only a few samples obtained lag week's prices, the inferior descriptions being nearly unsaleable. Barley remains as last week. Oats were dull in malt. but not cheaper. Scans and Peas were a trifle lower. In other articles there is no alteration.
