44ligaliC.IN PAPERS. . . NEW Yogi, QC?. 18.—From the moment the a nointment of Mr. Jackson to succeed Mr. Erskine was known in this country, the democra. fie Papers have teehted with the most scurrilous abase of that Minister' and of the nation he repre. s:nts. Before his itrrical, every effort was made to prejudice the Pr:mitirvitth refuse to acknowledge kir as a Poreign Minima ; and even now, not. witktawdeng thn litieelltive has resisted their ef. furls, and•receirrd Me. Jackson with customary cisjity, yet the same system of slander is continued in operation the same strewn of calumny is poured forth; I. the tiisgr ice of our national cha. racier, aml the regret and disgust of all decent men in the'coinmunity. IVhat object can the democratic Editors have t,) mince them to proceed in this scurrilous ca. mor ? 14 it to disgust and irritate the accredited llinister andllse Government that sent him ? Is it to confuse and distract our own Adininistra. tints? Is it to thr aw obstructions in the nay to an amicable and honourable adjustment of diffi culties, and thus involve our country in a ruinous and exterminatiog war ? Whatever may be their object, their conduct, at a moment like the pre. sent, thserves and will receive the. indignation of the public. Ocr. 43.... A letter from London, received at Rotten, by thes•patket i auesitions that a gentleman had arrived there Sun Rotterdam, who saw Mr. Armstrong at that place on the IStli August. He was informed by the Minister, that after the defeat at Aspen), h..: was called upon by a mein. her of the Bureau, n Ito said the Emperor was ilisposed to be in amity tvi•it us ; and after sonic further cunferetice, articles were actually agreed en as the basis of a treaty, which were sent a to the Emperor ; hut in the meantime, the victory o f Wagram chauged his disposition, and notice ve.is . Ant to Paris that nn further negotiation should take place, until t:te United States declared war against England. Mr. Armstrong said lie rhould nut attempt any thing further ; but expected is r c turn to Paris, and embark for America, with leis family. Reports :runs Washington Concur in stating, that the Executive are in close and constant dis. :assion with Mr. Jackson ; and the impression is .erally in favour of these discussions terminating ► •bly. A NW days will perhaps shed light this highly interesting subject. r.

The general rights of Lett Jerks, were rubli, by Lord ELLEst. NORM/GU ; but in the present case the weights seised being of higher weight than any of those standards which the Jury possessed would make together ; it was consented that a Juror should be withdrawn, the Plaintiff's Counsel stating, that all his object was to clear his character. WATTS V. lESIIOII. This was au action brought by the Plaintiff, who is a livery.stab!e.keeper, against the Defend. ant, who is a man of large fortune, for ►Mines sustained by the Plaintiff, who, in conseqiietice of the negligence of the Defendant's coachman, had his gig upset, by which► accident his vehicle and harness were broken, and he himself was thrown from it, and was consequently confined to a sick bed for seven or eight weeks, when he was order. ed by Mr. Heaviside, the surgeon, to visit Brighton, for two weeks more, for the complete restoration of his health ; the whole damage he sustained being, therefore, this confinement and inecusvenimacc, and tbe Loss he incurred from not being able to atteiiii his business during all that time. The accident happened in May last, as both parties were returning to town from Epsom rac►s, on the bill at the entrance of IVimUledon Common, the Plaintiffdriving a friend in hi, gig, and the Defendant being driven by hi, coachman in abarouche and font. The evidence was con. tradietury. The first witness called on behalf of the Plain. tiff was a man of the name of Williams, gardener to Sir William Rush, who saw the accident from over his mutet'A wall, and who said that the Plaintiff's gig was walking quietly up the hill, in the middle of the road, which is 24 feet wide, and that there was room fur the Defendant's ba. rouche to have passed the Plaintiff's gig on either side of it, the carriage of Lord Sefton having passed it but a very little while before, and it not having swerved from its direction since. The De finidant's carriage had just got into a trot up the bill, and the witness did not hear the affendant's coachman call to the Plaintiff till his leaders had passed the gig. ' Mr. Theophilus Dennis was with the Plaintiff' in his gig. They were walking up the hill, in the middle of the road, as the last witness had testi. led ; and the present witness had just given the Plaintiff half an orange to eat, as the Defendant s leaders passed the gig, and it was overturned. ' The witness did not hear the Defendant's eoachintin call to the Plaintiff, till his leaders had passed : • they crossed the Plaintiff's horse when they had dune so, and immediately the gig was overturned. Both the witness and the Plaintiff were thrown out ; the Plaintiff was shinned, and the blood streamed over his flees the Defendant and hisser. vents, who were in the barouche, did not stop long to *Mit the Ptafirtiff, end the airforislant on claimed, " G—d d—a them, I Irish they had both Moo killed." [Mr. Ganksim, for the Plaintiff, however, admitted the humanity of the r - Datandattt's conduct afterwards, in sending his owes Surgeon to the Plaintiff's relief.] 'rho damage dime to the Plaintiff's gig was prove t tis be 71. IGs. and that done to his harness was admitted to b • 21. R o bin gurt , Sorgenn and Apothecary, was called in immediately after the Plaintirs arrival in tolvii. Ile found the Plaintiff in great pain, with a small contusion in h,s arm, awl a strained hip. 'On the secand or third tiny after this, the witness thought it necessary to call in Mr. livavisicle, by whew aslaisamlaariaiatiff meat to SriOtto*, after he had been confined about eight weeks in town. On the part of the Defendant, was first called John Dove, the driver of the barouchc, he havin4 been released from any action the Defendant might have against him ender the present circuaistanctz. He stated that Lord Sefton's carriage had passed the Plaintiff's gig some hundred yards heroic the Defendant's carriage came up to the Plain tiff 's ; that fur this purpose the Plaintiff It made way into the middle of the read, but then reverted more into the right side of the road, on which the Defendant's carriage was to pass the Plaintiff's ; that the %Roves called loudly to Plaintiff, to make way fur him, three or four times, at which the Plaintiff turned round anti ►aughed, without deviating fron► his track ; that when the Defendant's carriage cunt up to the Plaintiff's, the leaders of the baruuche. tied the bar, which separates them from the wheelers, and which is wider than the barench , itself, passed the gig clean, so that there wool( have been room for the whole vehicle to have pass ed, had not the Plsintiff then turned his gig stil more towards the Defendant's carriage ; iit cense tisence of %eltich the 1) •fondant's splinter-bar w a broken and the Plaintiff's gig'upset. This account .f the transaction was corrobo rated by the evidence of the Defendant's valet ant his postilion, who heard the coachman cell to th. Plaintiff long before they came up with bim, one of whom saw the Plaintiff tore his wrist so a to run the sk alblnstthe bareuthe. I w I) bt tr The valet, stpon his cross.ezaminalion by Mr Gaanow, said, that the Plaintiff did not appeal much hurt, but eery drunk. A litleblood flowed of his face, bet the whole appeared to him a drunker fr o lic. The Plaintiff d—utttl all the DJfendasr party, and swots he would leather them qll. Mr. GA1M0W......" Fur what ?"

The Turks were attacked between Havchowea and Silistria.

On the sth, advice was re. eeived from Itenty, that the Insurgents were ilii. posed to submit; but this morning, early, the Deputies, whom we had been expecting, arrived by a circuitous route, which they took ender co ver of the night. They bring intelligente that a destructive affray took place the pieceding day, between {be parties inclined to submission and their adversaries. They at first fought with their fists, from which they proceeded to fire upon cad; other. The consequence was, that 1l persons Wern killed, and between 40 and 50, chiefly of the pacific party, were nound. ed. At the solicitation of the Deputies, the General detached th • whole of the 65th regiment of the line to Itcuty, which is ih!.ec leagues from this place ; but on their arriving within a qttartm• ~f a league of the town, at the foot of the Black Moun tain, the insurgents, who were posted on the top, of it, fired upon them, and the troops nor haring. received orders to repel tome bT force, fell hack.

The English are detested by the inhabitants : their beitsg in possession of that place renders articles of the first necessity excessively dear. There are not above 1800 men fit fur duty, and these are chiefly foreign troops in the pay of England. Ten thousand men have been embarked on board the fleet, where they re►naia, to escape the peiti. leiter. They arc in hourly czpectation► of being attacked, and our preparations inspire them with the most lively apprehcnsions. It is reported that the English are making pre. partitions to evacuate the island, and that they will not wait at. attack, lest they should be frozen in, and their escape rendered impracticable.— South Beveland presents amen formidable aspect. Saturday, as Mr. Ward, horse.dealer, was et. excising four young horses in his sociable-break, near St. James's-street, they suddenly took fright, and ran the carriage against a past. Mr. Ward was thrown frum the box, and had his leg broken; fire of his children in the sociable were dashed upon the stones wish much violence, one was taken up apparently lifeless, and the others ware seriously hurt.
