SECOPiD DAY—(raokstrxv.) • Mr. Serjeunt Joe stated the Defendant's caeo, and witnesses were called fur the defence. John Bryant, a medical gentleman, said he lived at No. 15, Edgeware-road, London; he knew the house of Mrs. M`Nauturs, as she then called her self ; she sent for witness to attend her niece, Caro line Exton, professionally, and that he delivered her of a female child in Mrs. Coda's house, on the 30th October, 1817; !hit Mrs. Calls paid him fur his attendance, and maid that Caroline Exton was her niece.

HAGUE, JULY 23. (VIENNA, JULY 11, now A PRIVATE CATION.) It has been observed, especially of late, that the Astiriuu ilbserver i, much inclined to spread re• ports unfavourable to the Greeks, and to represent their cause as hopeless. Whenever an opportunity •offers, it praises the discipline and conduct of the Turks in Wall.ichis, and vehemently reproaches the r troops of Ypsilanti. The same is the case with other journals published in Austria. From this unit other circumstances it is inferred, that some peraous of influence in our Ministry would regret the establishment of the independence of Greece, and earnestly desire that things should re main inTurkey in the same state. The present rels tionr between Russia and the Porte alarm them ; they will by no means agree that war may break out between these two Powers, and as they cannot de ceive themselves so far ar to overlook the conduct of the Porte to Baron St►oganoff, they load that Mi nister• with the m st violent invective•, raying that he barn exceeded his powers, and has interfered in the internal concerns of the Porte; that his conduct has been calculated to excite the displeasure of the Sultan and the Divan ; and that his Court must publicly disavow his proceedings and meal 'him, with an apology to the Porte. From all the letters which deserve any credit it appears that those gen tlemen will seen be better informed.—(Hugue •Courant, July 4.3.) PARIS PAPERS. PARIS, JULY 28.

CON6TANTINOPLE, JOKE 44. (EXTRAVT vim( A PRIVATE LETTER.) For some smooths past our city hes been the theatre of atrocities and inhuman cruelties, of which no idea can be formed in the !nippy conistry in which you reside.

But the most dreadful scenes took place after the defeat of the Turkish fleet m the Archipelsgo. At sight of the wreck of that fleet, which returned in a very damaged state, a fresh massacre com menced. more cruel than the former, the drown ing. were renewed with increased fury. It is impossible to give an adequate descrip tion of our condition ; every day scenes of cruelty occur with circumstances of still greater horror, scenes at which nature and humanity shudder.— In the perusal of history, examples cannot he found of sock detestable cruelty, executed in cold blood on the feeble and unarmed. Another fleet is being fitted out here with all possible expedition, to oppose that of the Greeks. The crews-are its general formed of Greek trades. men from the Archipelago, who are forced into the service. But if this fleet set sail, it will only serve to augmeut the number of vessels in the Greek armament. ODESSA, JUNE 29. Tke religious ceremony of the funeral of the Patriarch Gregory, assassinated at Constantinople, took place this sley with great pomp. At nine o'clock ia the morning salutes from the batteries of the town and from all the vessels in the port, and the tolling ofllie bells of all the churches, an nounced the approaching removal of the remains of this martyr of the faith from the port to the town. The streets were bloated up. All the officers and persons in public employ, civil and military, h► uniform and io mourning, as well us all the troops of the place, commanded by ti►e Governor, Count Laig-Peon, attended the mortal rensri►n of the Grerk Pontiff; which were placed upon a bier, magnificently decorated, and drawn by six hones. A 'great number of Archbishops, among whom wereaeverol members of the Russian Synod, had arrived by order of the Government from div. tent provinces, and assisted at the ceremonial, which lasted three hours, and which will be repeated the day after to-morrow, when the corpse of the Pa triarch wilt be removed from the Cathedral to the Greek Church, and there interred. The last oceoants from Turkey state that the insurrection has obtained the ascendancy even in Thrace. The town of Philippopolis, and that of Captain, situated at the foot of time Batlearn, have revolted, and Enos has followed their example. The mountains of B.algaria are occupied by the insurgents of that province, it is even added that Ternova is in their power, but this requires con firrnatiun. VDCSSA, MAT 3.

Paris Papers of Saturday last have arrived at our office.; we have also received Dutch Papers to the same day. Several articles of intelligence, purporting to be derived from various parts of the Continent, seem to concur in representing the im mediate commencement of a war between Russi■ and Turkey as inevitable. The insults that have been offered in Constantinople by the Sultan and his M• stets to the Russian Ambassador, end some infractions of the T►eaty of Commerce su b sisting between Russia and the Porte, undoubtedly offer sufficient causes of quarrel to the Emperor A LEX. A NOES, if ht should wish to take advantage of . then► fur interfering iu the internal concern. of the Turkish empire. Considering, however, the events that bate taken place in Turkey, the extermi nating civil war that rages in its provinces, the brutal persecution of a large proportion of the po pulation, and tl►e refusal, or absolute inability of the Government of the tinpite to afford protection and safety •to the Christians residing within its limits. we do nut think that Russia is reduced to the necessity of reposing her right of interference between the Christians said. their assassins upon any private Or peculiar - ground of cuuteuttor. Humanity would justify such s measure of policy, and we cannot doubt that every generous and feel ing heart would rejoice in en event which would give assurance of pres-nt safety to the wretched beings who ere now trembling in the appreliention of becoming the next victims of Turkish courtly, and told forth ■ permit& of future protection to countless numbm df nue fellow-creatures. It is impossible, however, wheis the question of an invasion of Turkey by her powerful neighbour is offered to public view, to dismiss every conside ration of the effects which such an occurrence might produce upon tire general politics of Europe. It is universally %they'd, as may be collected from the 'concurring testimony of all the continental papers, that time question has been formally sub !Mated to the attentiou of the several Csbineis of i the great Powers of Europe. An impression has also beet. generally received on the Continent, that the invasion of Turkey by Russia meets with tile • concurrence and approbation of Austria and Prus sia, but that it does not receive the sanction of Great Britain said Fra n ce. The measure, however, j we are assured in an Augsburg Paper, has been Gamily determined by Russia, and it is further aiss reeled that an Austrian army will pass the Turkish frontiers simultaneously with the invasion by the tramp" of Russia, for the purpose of acting it. con currence with them, and promoting the great object of giving security to the Greeks. A Manifesto is prepared which will shortly be published, sod will explain. to the world the motives that govern the invading Powers, and the principles upon which they have determined to act. The importance of such a publication cannot be estimated too highly, it will be looked fur with anxious interest, aud be read oith avidity. In the mean time 'peculation is, as usual, busy in endeavouring to anticipate its contents. Thew are few who, looking at the convulsed state of the Ottoman empire, at the miserable imbecility of its Govertiment, and the immense power and resources of the invaders, can doubt the probability of their rapid success. The Ante, nimble to organise su effective fame, even for the suppression of the Greer insurrection, does not seem capable of offering much serious opposition to the progress of a Rus sian sod an Austrian army, each formidable by its numbers and discipline. The fate of the Ottoman empire, therefore, will rest in the bands of the conqueron; but how will the victory be used, sod will the other nations of Europe suffer it to be used fur the territorial uggrandixemeut of either or both of the invading Potentates? Rumours ire afloat that Russia and Austria will both recom pense themselves for their expenses and exertions, by appropriating to their respective crowns large portions of the Turkish dominions, and that it is their ioteutiou to establish mm independent Chtistiau Government too the ruins of the Ottoman empire. The latter is, in our opinion, an object earnestly to be desired. The Turks ought to be driven across the Bosphorus, and Europe relieved from the Asiatic stain which their hateful presence now stamps upon her character. But it world be impossible that Great Bitten'', or France, or Spain, or even Prussia, could consent to are time limits of the Itursimi or Austrian empire farther extended. The acquisition of Coustantisiople as a part of the Russian empire, or at least as an appanage of the reigning family, was an object of ambitions in terest with time Cabinet of St. Petersburgh, even before the great CAIIIEIIIE6 caused her grand son to be called CONSTANTINE, to he attended by Greek nurses and servants, to have him taught the Greek language, and u corps of 200 Greek youths, of distinguished birth, formed as the immediate body guard of the intended Sovereign of the Southern Empire. This object was pursued with lively solicitude to the last moment of CATE RINE'S life, and there is no reason to believe that it has ever since been disclaimed. Such au acqui sition, however, would now undoubtedly render Russia the most formidable fuser that modern Europe ever witnessed, said must place the fortuues of every other State at its disposal. It was solely for the purpose of obviating so imminent a danger, mud not from uoy respect fur time Ottoman Go vernment, that Great Britain sod France have occasionally lent their powerful aid to maintain its precarious existence ; but the same object of preventing the probability of further en croachments on the part of Russia, and of upholding a Power on the banks of the Dantsbe capeble of checking the further progress of her arms, would be much more effectually accomplish ed by substituting a Christian Power in the place of the present Mahoinetan Government, which would assimilate its principles to those of the other Powers of Europe, and wield the energies of the empire with greater and more formidable vigour. The genius of the Moslem faith bids defiance to im provement on the part of the Government and people; it has fixed the character of both iiicorrigibly, aud so long as it shall be suffered to blast the energies, physical and intellectual, of one of the inost de lightful portions of Europe, it will be vsiti to hope for even the personal security of the Chris lions who msy continue exposed to its influence. The dissolution of the 'Pinkish Government may be effected with perfect safety by the happy co operation of the five great Powers, and the !stuited idterests of all wall prevent any one of them from deriving any undue or formidable ad vantage from this great event. The Governmeut of Turkey alone will be chatigrel, it sill be as situilated it. tone aud character to the other ..mss.. <' Governments of Europe ) and this alone will in process of time add greater importance to the empire, and contribute to increase the seen. Pity rod happiness of the people. Property will become sacred, human lite a ill be preserved from the horrible caprices of derpotism, industry will thence be promoted. and individual en terprise will lead to the mental improvement of the people. A country that seems formed by deuce for the delight and happiness of mankind, will no longer be viewed with apprehensioi,s still horror, no► be suffered to lie as it does at present for the most putt an inhospitable desert, of resounding with the busy hum of human exer tion, and exhibiting in every part the pleaving aspect of human happiness. Among the regimenta enumerated by tie in our Paper of Wednesday last, as bring named for re duction, we included the 7th Dragoous Guard.. A Correspondent assures us there is not the least foundation whatever for the report of that old regi ment being reduced, and particularly as there are eighteen other regiments of cavalry junior to them in the service.
