Should the tireekaosccesd im this object, the few Ottoman troops scattered at ',whoa and- Triccala would be cut off, and there will be little probability that they can re-organize themselves during the remainder of the campaign to march against the Greeks. Thus the Greeks will have ample time M combine their pleas and operations against their enemies in Epirus and Macedo n i a . Th e Greeks are now occupied with their elections, and It giving more strength and consistency to their own Government. The Greek fleet after having caused many diversions and much mischief to the enemy by vigorous coupde maims on the coasts of Africa, Asia, and Micedenia, and after having liberated the Island of Thum, sailed to the Hellespont to encounter the Ottoman fleet when it sails. Besides the provinces of Kisses° and Selino, whiA the Candiots have taken from the Turks, and which alone remained in their possession, it is reported to-day that the Greeks have occupied the strong fortress of Cannea. But this requires confirmation. The occupa tion of Selino was the consequence of a victory obtained by the Greek,' over the remnant of the Turkish forces in that kingdom. ‘ The inhabitants have requested to have, as Governor General of the whole island, &manse, Tom • bail, of Hydra, who his, in -bedience to •the public voice, and with the approbation of the National Govern. went, already gone to take the appointment.

On board the vessel Jean Bart, at anchor in the road of Fort Royal (Martinique). March 13, 1843. lime* the hewer to larown-yenvHseelleney of the aret• sal at Martinique, on the I Ith . of March, &Vain. o'clock, p. m. of the ship Jean Bart, after a passage of thirty-ibur daysoritbeett liallaguperiesapit any eatoward circumstance, sad without bevies any of the crew so ill as to require to be sent to the hospital. Os the Roth of February, I came in sight of the island of Saint Mary, one of the Azores. I coothmed my course to the west of these islands, when, on the 22d, at half-pest two in the morning, I was informed that there was a ship very near, which appeared as if it were wat c hi ng us . I immediately eame on deck, and, with the aid of my night glass, I already thought it was a corsair, when a ball fell close to the vessel. I had force enough to pulverise the aggressor, bat, wishing to avoid all mistake, and to put this madman entirely in the wrong, I only raised a lantern at the poop, and manceured so as to observe him at day-light.— At six o'clock it was light enough to distinguish the Bags. I hoisted those of the Jean Bart, and made press of sail.— At three quarters put six I saluted him with blank cartridge, Ind from the side opposite to his vessel. hi a moment the Teasel hoisted a large Spanish Bag, which she only kept up a short tire, and having Breda shot at us, she made all post sable sail to avoid me. I continued the pursuit, without any mark of hostility, till a quarter past one, when I order ed a shot to be Bred. She only persisted more obstinately in flying, and with the assistance of sweeps, succeeded in getting out of the reach of shot. The pursuit con tinued with perseverance all night. We cleared for itetion, and, by the aid of good night glasses, the vessel was not lost sight of for a moment. We profited so dexterously by all , the changes of the wind and their bad manoeuvres, that turning against them several feigned tacks they made we had the satisfaction, on the 211 d, at wan-rise. to see the vessel under the quarter of the Jean Bart, to windward. I ordered the French colours to be hoisted at the sound of music and a volley of musquetry. Their vessel then hoisted the flag of &Spanish corsair, at the same time endeavouring to get off, and hoisting several small sails which it had not yet spread. Another shot failed in making them bring-to, as it had hopes that by means of the breeze which sprung up. its swift sailing would secure its escape. I then tried a fire from two 116-pounders on it, the shots from which, though they went beyond it, did not prevent it from continuing Its course. A third tired at it went so near that the ship then allowed itself to be searched. From an examination of the ship's papers we found that it is called the Nueva Veloz Mariann, Sib tons; that it Is a corsair, armed with twenty-four 12-pounders, having 06 men on hoard, and a cargo for Cadiz, from Vera Cruz and Havanna, consisting nearly of three millions in specie; and' as much in vanilla, indigo, cochineal, and other merchoss Wee of small bulk. The attack of this corsair during the night against a ship whose flag it could not have known, is an infringe. meat of theright of nations, if It is not even an act of pi racy; it is, to say the least of it, an act of hostility against France; and, no doubt, hut if the Jean Bart had been merely a merchant vessel, it would have become the prize of this corsair! Its arrogance, whilst it thought that it could reckon on its swift sailing, its hostile con duct till open day, when perceiving a French ship of the line, it only sought to make its escape ; its obstinacy in not allowingitsellto be searched as long as it thought it might possibly abuse my moderatiod; its false conrse; its effort to accelerate its I:iglit by disembarrassing itself of any thing which might impede it; its armament and its dispositions for"kttack and defence, which even ex gated when it had been boarded ; in fine, every thing has persuaded me that the Captain of this corsair, aware of • the hostilities against France,or at least presuming them to exist, intended to take one of our ships. I gave the necevary orders that the corsair might be provisionally delaineti, and that it might be brought with the Jean Bart to Martinique ; lid Frenchmen were put on board, in exchange for lIS Spaniards which have been taken from it. 'I he seals were strictly put on the bitch. ways in presence of the pretended supercargo, who re mained in care of it, together wit. M. HERLIEnT• Mid shipman, to whom I bare given the cmmand of the yes• tel. An officer of the marines and ten soldiers have also been put on board as an additional security for the invio• lability of all the propertf—aothing whatever has been taken out of the vessel. , When I willed to lien Spanish vaptilio my rasiatkati to take the vend to Martinique, there la no ear; Alf or.; ralagement that be did not propels to Me in coehlactioil with the self-styled supercargo (who I have aims lensed is merely an adroit passenger); as for hotelier, so de stroy his armament, to land apart of his crew, and only to leave such a number of men as were absolutely neces sary /or the navigation of the'ship to Cadis. He was ex tending his propositions even,still furahr, when I put an sad to them by positively informing him that I would ebt receive lay of them, and that my decision was irre vocable. PACKING 61ir JURIES. To the Itopourable the Cousatonsof Great Britain sad Ire land, in Parliament assembled;—Tye humble Patties of J. iii Trilst, of Bell. Bewails-street, in the City of Lon dee. bookseller—Se evertn, - That your Petitioner hatriag been subjected to a.oroseets don, Sr-officio, by the Atterney-General, for having pub lished itrhafthat Law Officer of the Crown has thought pro per to consider a blasphemous libel; your Petitioner in the 4inalar llagio_ . W. Ain! ( St siteli moms went before the Muter of.ffiMee for es purpose of being Fremont at the Kittle& of the Oswald Jury, prayed for on the part of the Crown. That on such nomination, your Petitioner found that the Master of the Crown Office (who besides holding that office, Which be calls his freehold, is also tenant at will of another appointment in the gift of the Ministry) refusesl to nominate the Jury in an evidently fair aid impartial manner, by taking the names without individual preference, by some indifferent model Ind, on the contrary did carefully pick or pack each names only as he thought proper, taking a name from one page, and a name from another, just as he happened to light upon each names as it pleased him to prefer ; thus ex ercising a porter which enables such an officer to pack any Jury according to his liking, or the direction of his em ployers; and also enables the Ministers of the Crown to destroy by the forms of law, men whom they may have con ceived were moieties to themselves, whenever circumstances may in their eyes seem to require such a sacrifice. That against the exercise of such a dangerous power, neither conferred nor recognized by any known law. and in direct oppositioa to the fair inference, if not the absolute letter of the Act regulating the formation of Special Juries. your Petitioner attempted to address the Court of King's Bench; but that tribunal, as your Petitioner believes, arbi trarily, unjustly, illegally, refused to hear hint, on the pre tence that the practice had continued for many years ; al. though he was perfectly prepared to strew that it was a no vel coutrivanhe to supply the want of a packed Jury list, and which had hot been in practice more than live years. That your Petitioner is informed, and is prepared with Creditable testimony to support the information at the bar of your Honourable House, that in the year Itll7, on the nomination of the Special Jnry in the ease of the King versus Wooller, a packed and illegal list st'as found in the hands of the Master of the Crown Office ; which illegal list contained tire names of a few trailers in the art and - mystery of Special Juryship, not amounting in the whole to More than two hundred individuals ; bat of which about one fourth of that number were the princi pal practfeers ; and some of them were annually clearing some hondreds by such illegal traffic in one of the most sacred institutions of the country. That the Master of the Crown Office, with each pack ed, imperfect, and mutilated list in his hands, was then accustomed to nominate the Jurors in an evidently impar tial manner, inserting his.pen at random amongst the closed leaves, and taking the name on which the pen so rested. Your Petitioner need not remark that this seeming impartiality did not benefit defendants, became* the Mas ter could not choose wrong; but this circumstance goes to show the original construction of the direction to no minate : and in this mode there is now an affidavit of the Master of the Crown Otfiee, that lie was accustomed to nominate from the period of his entrance into office, ;Intl l the period alluded toorhen the packed and illegal list was forcibly struck out of his hands. That thus the Master, as if to supply time loss of his old list, began to pick and pack out of the new and more enlarged list, seemingly to look for the names of his old servants. In • this unfair and illegal method has he been accustomed t,i pack Juries ever since that period :—and in this condnet has he been supported by the Court of King's Bench, which continually declares, when applications are Made against the Master, that be pursues a method of many years standing; which declaration your Petitioner o ff e rs to prove at the bar of your Hon/arable House, is as directly opposed to the truth, and the facts of the case,, as the method is contrary to law, and subversive of the clearest principles of justice. That your Petitioner ventures to suggest, no legislature Could ever intend to pat such power into the hands of any man, as that which is claimed by the Muter of the Crown Office t and that although Faction has contrived to throw such power into such hands, the Legislature will not tole rate a practice which sets the intention and spirit of thelaw at defiance. A proof of the mischief to which such powi r may lead, Is afforded by the recent events in Ireland : wheel% a powerwf packing Juries, the usurpation of which was winked at while used only in favour of the Ministers of the Croern,is loudly eondemned,sinee the Faction possessing the power have ventured to use it against the interests of. those who ought never to have allowed it to exist. Your Petitioner therefore humbly requests, that your lion. House will take into its early and serious considers ti on the monstrous abuses which prpvail in the packing of Special Juries ;—abuses not less atrocious in their es tate, though• hitherto they have been less sanguinary their results, than those by which Sydney and Russets were murdered by the forms, in defiance of the spirit of the laws :lend by which abuses any Minister may. at . any time, ruin all those who:have courage and honesty to exercise the inalienable right of freemen to express their opinions on the nature of the ministerial measures, or' on the system of Government under which they live. —And your Petitioner further prays, that an inquiry Mfly be instituted into the conduct of the Court of King's Benrh,in declaring that to be law, whit'i is evi dently lejnstice, contrary to the acknowledged maxim of the Constitution. that whatever statutes are contrary to the liberties of,the subject, are not laws but corruptions. std ought to be hoiden for nought. And your Petitioner shall ever pra', fie. J. %V. TRUST. _ . A boy was lately amusing himself about the buildings of one of Loril Gage's farms, at Firle, when pte, through a hole in the door of the farmyard, lie spiel amongst the cattle what he first believed to be an I wo /t i l ts. ing number of very active birds, apparently intent on the amusement of staling a post, which stood in the tarin yard. On a clover inspection, the birds were tranvforeted to rats, and a countless multitude appeared to be gam boling around the Marpole, in imitation of the h e m :n bipeds, at a festive village holyday. The sports of the active throng were, however, soon inteeruptel, by the boy's lustily calling for the Shepherd, who war i t the neighbourhood, to share in the rural sight.
