[The following article purporting to be the copy of a letter fiom Paris, appeared in The Courier of last night :—) "pasta,JULY 26.—1 t cannot be denied that a new Mate of affairs is on the point of taking place in Europe, alid he must indeed be a superficial observer, who has not been prepared for it, as the cense/relics of that ar rangement concluded at Paris, at the close of the year 1815, between all the European powers (Turkey except ed), which left Russia without an enemy whom she fear ed, and which had so augmented her greatness and her territories. The dismemberment or fall of the Turkish Empire, to which a long decline has been leading it , wo uld have been e ff ected long ago, had not the French Revolution, and the events and wars consequent upon it, delayed it. The war that was terminated by the Treaty of Bncharest, in 11512, would have accelerated, if not completed, the ruin of the Turkish power, had not Russia been threatened with an invasion from a more formidable foe, and been equally disposed with the Porte to put a period to thecoetest. Yet the course of the Pruth fixed by that Treaty, as the limit of the two Em plres, gave to Russia nearly a third of Moldavia, in c:iitling the important fortresses of Chotsim and Bender, and the whole of Bessarabia, with Ismail and !Lelia. Russia, in a preceding war, bad secured all the territory between the Bog and the Deiester, including Ocsakew, and thus always encroaching upon Turkey, she has se cured an easy entrance, in any future war, into the heart of the remains nj provinces of Turkey . in Europe. It was evident that affairs could not remain in this situation be. (wren the two Powers. though the course of events has been different from what was originally contemplated. he independence of Greece seems to be no longer an improbable event, and thus the Turkish Empire has an enemy within, nearly as formidable as the enemy with f That the Turks will be able to put down the tsreek Insurgents, is scarcely to be expected. Besides, their attention is more engrossed by the movements of the Hessians, to whom the detachment of any large farce against the Greeks, would open an easy passage to the very gates of Constantinople. "Of the real nature and character of the events that have recently occurred in the Turkish Empire, we are very inaccurately informed. It is not to be believed that the Porte would provoke Russia; and yet the ac- IMI iit that are inserted in the German and our papers. represent the Porte as the aggressor. That the Porte s t o old suspect Russia to be favourable to the Greek In t.tagents, who are furthering her policy by weakening the power, and distracting the attention of the Turks. is perfectly natural. his impossi ble, indeed, that Row aim, aid, in any point of view. caold, with disapprolsa tion,_the course of events In Greece. •‘ The question then is—What ought to be the policy of France and of Great Britain at the present moment? '1 a suppose that either of those Powers tan remain us * oisrerned spectator*, were absurd ; they cannot. if they would; they ought not, if they could. Your lonise i .1:Lulls. so c ontiguous to the shores of Greece and the :%lorea, cannot but be affected by the events in Greece. Nor can you be indifferent to the fate that seems to be i 'upending over Constantinople, unless a powerful end I..ancdratc mediation take place ia her favour. It were ;Ale to repeat, what is known to the most superficial pee htician, that the possession of Constantinople has been tt.e favourite project of the Court of Petersbnrgh. It ss ere equally idle to deny, that circumstances were never more favourable to the accomplishment of that project. 'I tie sttecrss of the arms of Russia against Bonaparte. given her more confidence and strength t and we should be silly indeed if we supposed that in proportion es the means of a nation are enlarged, her ambition is disoini•lied. The manner in which the Emperor Alm sootier has supported the policy of Austria. with respect lo it.ily, has git en him strong claims upon the Caboose al Vienna, from which it is not easy to believe be would so. counter any vigorous opposition in his designs Turkey. It is not necessary to enter into any roves tion of the question, whether Russia is wise in enter in IleAgns against Turkey—whether she may not be as' hipolitic as Bonaparte was, tu his attack upon Spain PA. F o rtelle unnecessary is it to chew, that the possessios even of 'onstatitiuople would not involve in it the co. quest of Turkey. We have seen in Spain what a vigor ous impulse the destruction of a weak Government can Five to en Empire. Russia can never achieve the corn ',hie subjugation of Turkey, eves if the policy of the rest of Europe suffered her to attempt it, withont opposition. She may. indeed, effect the destruction of the present Ow vcrninent, but a new Power may spring from its ashes more dangerous, because, with the means and resources of the ola liovertintent, it will have more impetuosity, wore enterprise, more daring, OHM energy. " ttnt wind will be the policy of France and Great Britain To offer their mediation in the first instance is so obvious, that we cannot but suppose that system lies Dom) adopted. But if it be refused, are they there fore to enter into a war i The remonstrance against any grievance—the offer to arrange the differences be tween hostile Powers, does not necessarily oblige us to take part with one against the other. But it can never he of little consequence to express, and to record, the opinion of an independent and impartial Power. It is the p sliry, both of France and Great Britain, to prevent the destruction of the Turkish Power, and to see the cre-eent still hover over the port of Constantinople. The iiidereilence of the Greeks is a subject we touch with more doubt and hesitation, because DO man can be ig norant of the oppression under which they have so long groaned, and because the very idea of restoring liberty to Greece, conjures up such delightful images of future happiness to mankind. But let us not too hastily be lieve that nothing wore is necessary than the removal of tie. Turkish Power, in order to discover the same race of men to whom we have constantly applied the name and character of Greek—let us sot forget too that the Albians who may have encouraged the insurrectiou of the Greeks, will be in the end the greatest obstacles to their emancipation. They niaL o sithem to strike the sceptre from the grasp of the fns, in order to seise it themselves. That any efforts of France or of England can or ought to prevent the Greeks from using every effort to recover their independence. we are by we *Deans prepared to maintain. Bet let as not bogy ow selves up with the belief that emancipation ibe Turkish yoke must necessarily lead to the esta of real liberty in Greece—or that the destruction Turkish empire is an event which we ought to desire et to promote.

C%tL% r. MACNAttAItA. (erIITHER PARTIcULAKS.) Lord Nnititt•ltV having taken his seat on the Bench this morning, and the Jury having appeased in the Box, Mr. Serjeant Joy stated the case on the part of the Defendant, nearly as follows: Gentlemen of the Jury—l tis my duty, as Counsel for the Defendant, to address a few words to you, on the subject of this action. I trust, Gentlemen, that you owe me no ill will. for having been, in goose mea snre, the cause of this action having been adjourned to this day. You will now come to investigate the case, with your bodies refreshed and your minds in full vigour; and you will be the better enabled to judge dispassionately of the nature of the evidence adduced. My client, Gentlemen, comes into Court under many disadvantages. My adversaries com plain that he has violated a deliberate engage ment into which he entered with the plaintiff.— You have had an eloquent address already, and you may look forward, Gentlemen, to another; for me, I shall offer yoga but a dry detail of farts. My client comes before you, lahooring under the influence of a former verdict ; twelve men in that.litry Box returned a verdict of .C2OOO against him. You are not to con sider if by that verdict'lle would be imprisoned for life; let him be imprisoned for lift if he deserves it but u high-minded men, as men of honour, you will say, we will find our verdict, and not look to theirs. The temper and disposition of my client has been brought forward ; you have heard that he was violent —letters were read to that effect ; but will not you in your coulee judgment admit, that the 111E1 who could boldly °image law in defence of one woman's charac ter, could never have acted as has been represented by another. I know not how far the feelings of one man may influence another ; there are twelve of ynu, Gen tlemen, and I do think that not one of you has entered that box without a feeling of prepossession against my client. I know not if you possess that sublime vir tue that ran resist the prepossession which you feel ; I know, Gentlemen, that you mean justice, but I know not if you can achieve it. book to the facts of the ease—see of what the defendant is accused :---a gentle man, an officer, is accused of having violated Isis en gagemeots. Gentlemen, there are cases where the feelings of a Jury 1113 y be aroused, and where they would he well u arraotcil in afflicting punishment, letting their private feelings go along with their ver dict. If a young and inexperienced girl is seduced by an old and practised seducer, if a wife is se duced from an affectionate husband, or a mother from her infant children, I know not what damages might not be given. Gentlemen, I will put two ea. treme cases. lam not now speaking of the proud case; but, I say, suppose a common prostitute ob tained sufficient influence over the mind of a young man, to induce him to make her a promise of mar , nage—suppose your own son, by arts practised un was placed in such a situation, would you treat that woman, in a Court of Joistire, as you would treat a young and innocent girl, or a virtuous wife? No, I Gentlemen, you would not give such a woman dama ges ; you world not permit her to barter on her infa my ; you would hoot such a case out of Court. Sup pose another case; suppose a roman, a widow, be comes acquainted with a man of warm temper, who, yielding to the irnpul , e of the moment, after years of co-habitation, makes her a promise of marriage, would you call that seduction ; think on it—reason un it— could you term that seduction? no, you would hold the balance of justice steadily ; you would see which side would preponderate, and your verdict would be accordingly. Let me ask any one of you, if a melts bee of your family hail become connected with a wo man of artful a.:d violent temper. perhaps affectionate; if, under these circumstances, he had been induced to commit to writing a promise made to such a woman ; it might perhaps, he your own casr, Gentlemen ; 1 do nut mean in your own pOrson‘, but iu the person of some friend or relation I a'k you, then. Gentlemen, which of you, if your son was !inn situated, which of you would not iloist on his breaking off such a conuec lion ; I know if he hail seduced a virtuous girl, he should pay the price of his folly or his Let me now state the present case t t you tlemen, I think I have been stating it : the plaintiff, Mrs. Calla, lived in George's•street, where she let lodgings; she was introduced to my client by a Mrs. Hamilton, who lives in Dif,e.street. Perhaps,Gentle men, you have been in London, and may know Duke' street there. (One of the Jury here remarked, that he knew Duke-street, London.) lam particularly happy that yon recollect Duke-street, Sir, and I hope you are not forgetful of the kind of accommodation which you have been accustomed to receive there.—. (Laughter.)--31rs. furniture, however, was not complete; she wanted a sofa.--(Laughter.)—a- Gentlemen, Mrs. Calla hail one, and it was in the purchase of this ‘iifsi by Nlr:. Hamilton that the in troduction between the young Irishman and the plaintiff took place. Caroline Exton, the %illness on the part of the plaintiff, tells you that lie repeated his visits, and that lie was p:tying his addresses to her mistress, as she believes ; it ended, however, in their going off in a hackney-coach to the barrack, or withi• a few yards of h; you find her afterwards living with the defendant; they said they had been married, bat she afterwards resumes her own name. I know there are instances where marriages are kept secret, but I never heard an instance of a woman sleeping with a man to whom she said she was married, if her object was to keep that marriage a secret ; a woman of vie toe owes too much to her characte to risk the impu tations that would thus be thrown upon it. Coiodder this case coolly, Gentlemen, and I cannot fear your judgment, fur you will then decide justly. The plain tiff had no means of living hut by letting her house, and when it was let she was quartered on Captain' M'Namara. I know that lie was represented as living on (ter; is not such conduct incompatible with his character? The bold, impetuous man, cannot be the crawling reptile, whose progress is traced only by the slime it leaves behind. Whatever faults i.e may have, they are those of his country ; be is generous, warm hearted, impetuous, but never mean. l have me., ver seen himself, but I see his character in Isis 01111111111.1 that conduct is to be condemned, it is violent, weep was, but It is not mean. In all the letters whirl MPS' been produced, titers is not any evidence of money has ing been reoeined 14 him from the plaintiff except one. which encloses two pounds, and that very letter epolo gises for not seeding her a receipt to draw his pay ; he tells her that it is Sunday, and he cannot get a stamp. Look to Lis letters ; are they written in that mean and contemptiblespirit which you are told i nffuenced his con duct ? In one of them he tells her, that though not used to it, be has been obliged to travel on foot, and even to borrow from the serjeant of the regiment ; but he says he cares not if he leaves her comfortable. Is this the conduct of a man who would owe 11;s subsist. once to her parse? Will you visit him with damages because he lived with this woman ? The evidence as se the promise rests solely on the testimony of Caroline Eaton, the servant of all work; and she deposes to conversations at which no third person was present, and where she cannot be contradicted. There has been no account how that paper was procured ; what the nature of that contract was I appeal to vou as men of understanding to say, was it not to induce her to cohabit with him; how else can we account for it ? There was no conversation as to marriage. She lived for two years as his mistress after having re ceived that promise to marry at a future period, and 'the future period had not arrived. The witness who was examined yesterday, Caroline Exton, is really n very clever girl; you thought it was simplicity; I put one question to her, I asked her if she ever bad a child ? and I could not but remark her strength of nerve, while she distinctly and emphatically answered no'. If we prove that she had a child, what degree of credit will you then give to her evidence ? Will it not surprise you, Gentlemen, if we prove that she had &child in Mrs. Caila's house and with Mrs. Caila's knowledge ; I repeat it, Caroline Exton is really a very clever girl. The plaintiff is a woman of no edu e,ation; a woman who dined with her servants and lived in the kitchen ; a woman who visite . ' the kept mistresses of the defendant's both, r officers. If we prove all this, what is the measure of damages that you will award the plaintiff? What was the use she made of that promise ; was it not held over until the defendant was married ? Site lived with him for four years without requiring a pro mise, and after having got possession of that written one, she lived with him for two years without enforcing the fulfilment of it. When the defendant had married another, she found it would be worth her while to have kept him to herself; she knew his li ttle income was more her own than his. If your own sun was to circumstanced, and that the verdict rested on such evidence as that given by Caroline Exton, no other wit-! mess having been produced, could you an aril the plaintiff damages? bly Learned Friends were quite thunder struck at the verdict returned on the late trial ; I was mat in that case, but it was the opini on of my friends, that even if the evidence was not contradicted, the damages were outrageous. Gentlemen, the defendant has but SM. in the world, left him by his father, and w ill you, by your verdict this day, visit my client with such damages as may amount to a sentence of imprisonment for life? After concluding a very able speech the Learned Counsel proceeded to call Mr. Bryant, a medical gentle man of Edgeware-road, who deposed to his having de livered Caroline Exton, a principal witness in behalf of the prosecution, of a female child in Mrs. Caila's house, on the 30th October. 1917 ; that Mrs. hails paid him for his attendance, and said that Caroline Exton was her niece. The next witness was Ann M'Donnell—Knows Mrs. Utile; lived with her in London; remembers the time that Caroline Exton was delivered of a female child; she, witness, and Mrs. Calla, went for Doctor Bryant, who attended Caroline in her lying-in. Some other Witness were examined, who deposed to the effect, that they thought Mrs. Caila was a kept woman. The ease having been here closed on both sides, Mr. Dolwell 1 Walshe rose to address the Jury on the part of the' plaintiff, which he did to the following effect: Gentlemen of the Jury—The evidence having been closed on both sides, it is my duty as Counsel for the plaintiff, to address a few words to you, en the nature 1 1 of the evidence which you have just heard. I shaft not commence, as the Learned Serjeant did, in depre. eating your ill will; I will not suppose that yen come into that box with any prepossession on your minds. I will not suppose that you arc inclined Ito pre-judge that case which you are called on to decide; you have taken your oaths to do justice between the parties, and you will abide by the oaths which you bate taken. Gentlemen, after all the arts et Counsel. ingeniously devised and ingeniously prac tised ; after all the address and adroitness manifested 1 In the framing and presenting that bill of exceptions, which wrung from us that verdict, which a Jury on their oaths had awarded, justice once more holds her unerring and majestic course. The cause which you are about to try, Gentlemen, is that of a woman, a widow, and a stranger. The defence which you have heard is precisely that which becomes the party who makes it; be would be as false to himself as he has been to others if be retired on any other ; it is of the, same stamp, colorer and character as the rest of his conduct, exhibiting throughout, the one 4101, hardened incapacity of shame. If, however, he has been uni-1 formly shameless, boas has been admirably consistent. —He has added the crime of seduction to a breach al faith, and hesitates sot afterwards to caluMniate the' woman he has reined. The plaintiffs maiden name was Beeson, Gentlemen, she was married when very young, to Mr. Peter Calla. On his death, she left that house and bought another. This house was bought with bet money, and furnished by her. The defendant is the second son of a family of great opulence and unquestionable rank ; he, of course, has all the influence such wealth and rank procures fur him. The acquaintance between the plaintiff and defendant commenced through a Mrs. Hamilton, and made a much more favourable Ins pressiow on the defendant than on the plaintiff; she gave diroetions that be should not be admitted to her house when he called. This was not the conduct of such a woman as she has been represented to be by the defendant's Counsel. The defendant, however, perste vered ; he was but too successful, and their acquaintance ended in an intercourse which I au not called on to pal liate. Gentlemen, I admit that she has fallen ; no ntat ter now by what insidious arts lie had prevailed upon her ; she acknowledges her shame, she comes into court, and bows down her head in the (Inst. But while she this bumbles herself before you, will von permit hint to triumph in the misery, the ruin, and the degradation which he has brought on her ? Will you permit him to point to his purse with one hand, end to his victim with the other telling yOu to spare that purse because he made that victim ? What is her crime ? A confidence in his bower, and now is be to taunt her with her wild in hawing believed him? Is he to laugh at the 5 „,.. fool, who would believe in tbe honour of an Irish ? Moen be made that promise, he either was es was asst slams. if be was sincere, it need not be mg-
