It Is affirmed that the Archduke Ferikaand, Goveraor- General of Heagary, will have the chief command of all the tiers. The strength of this army has been exaggerated ; it will not exceed 80,000 mew at present; the case would be 41fferent if war should break cut, for if the., even if Ass "tria took no part io it, the army would be probably aug mented to dOuble its actual force. Opinions here are more than ever divided on the subject of peace and war. The arrival of every new courier causes a change of opinion. It is certain that our Government does its utmost to prevent war. The pimple of Vienna, as well as the Austrians In general, take a lively interest in the fate of the Greek.. If the Government 'allowed it there would be already numerous associations in their favour. The Greek merchants at Vienna eagerly refute the reports contained iu some papers of the cruelties exercised by the Greeks against the Turks. These accounts are, if we believe them, mere Actions. A Declaration of the Cabinet of the Tuileries is spoken of, but which, far from being alarming, furnishes a new proof of the prudence and perspicacity of the present Government of France. On the other baud, an extraortheary activity pre vails in our Cabinet. Our resoletioes is taken with regard to Turkey; oar relations with Russia are must amicable, and we shell, at all event., make common cause with that Power: however, we meat think on maintaining peace with ' the rest of Eut:ispe. To this effect fresh iastrectimm have been seat to Prince Esterhazy, at London, w►o, under the present circumstances, will double his zeal. and it is not likely that England will fail to be convinced of the sincerity of our friendship. The Declaration of France, as we have said, is nothing less than alarming. Besides, as tbeamistaace of our Cabinet may be depended upon to maintain the balance of Europe, we are less embarrassed about the fate of Turkey than about the form of government - to be gives to the Greek provinces which may be delivered from the Turkish power. Conjectures are endless: and swing other projects spoken of, some politicians are for forming Greece into a confede ration of small State., like that of Germsay. 'Me re-esta blishment of the Order of Malta is also spoken of. VIINIIIi, AUGUST 28. 1 We mill doubt of war. The Porte has taken off the em bargo which it had laid on Russian vessels, accoraME to letters from Coostaotinople of the 10th, which we have just received, and have opened to them the passage of thc Dar anmansa. It is of that the answer of the Porte, which Me bees sent to St. Petersburg's. is of a very pacilic nature. A report prevailed yesterday in the City that the .Turkish Government has, by a public Proclams lion, offered a free pardon to all the Greeks who will return to their allegiance within three months from the date of the Proclamation. The report, how ever, does not seem to have exercised any favoura ble influence upon the state of the Funds, and yet the intelligence is of a nature which might he re garded as a strong indication of a pacific disposi tion on the pert of the Turkish Government, and consequently would, we think, if generally believed, have caused some improvemeut in the appearance of the market. The Russian ultimatum is said, among other things.: titare required upon the part of Turkey souscpruseeding of this nature, which might operate as an assurance to the Greek. that their per sons and property would be respected by their bar barous masters; if therefore any such offer of a general pardon line really been held out by the Turks, it would imply • readiness to acquiesce in the terms of the Itussian requisition with respect to this particular, and proportionally diminish the pro babilities of war. The accounts which we have lately published, and more especially those which appear ed in our Paper yesteriley, exhibit the Greeks as. exulting loudly in the success of their arms. If. those statements give us a correct picture of the present posture of their affairs, it is not likely that they will readily accept the proffered mercies of the Ottoman Government. We fear, however, that the victories of the Greeks are for the most part the glowing offspring of some warm heads iu Paris, and that • protracted war presents to the great body of the Greeks so little to hope, especially when they ' shall be left to cope single-handed with the whole force of the Ottoman power in Europe, Asia, and Africa, that the mass of the nation wonid, we ap prehend, not unwillingly exchange their dreams of conquest and independence for the sober reality of protection for life and fortune under the immediate guarantee of the Russian Government. We have received Paris Papers of Monday lest. The most important part of their intelligence is the assurance that the PORTE bus already so far seceded to one of the demands contained in the Russian nilimuturn, as to issue optima declaring the passage of the Dardanelles tree to all Russian ships. This Erman is dated the Bth of August, and its appear ance es i ners a disposition so pacific upon the part of the Poore, that wvShink It cannot fail to disarm the Russian Gov Nutria of every pretence for going to war. 4 An article of intelligence from Frankfort, dated the sth of September, asserts, that the Russians have actually passed the Pruitt, and that. the de clared purpose of the invasion is to restore the tran quillity of the Turkish dominions, by bringing the Greeks back to their duty, and compelling the Turks to secure to them safety of persons and pro. perty. The invasion of Italy by Austria is the precedent now said to be used in justification of the invasion or Turkey. The Athenians are said to have sent a deputation to Odessa, for the pur pose of conveying to the Emperor ALexANDER the expression of their hopes, that he will extend to them Ins favour and protection. The Turkish fleet has recently acquired some considerable reinforre.4 but the Greek squadron is represented a)1 being willing to meet it, should it venture amon 4 the islands. The Hydriotes, who form the chief strength of the naval force of Greece, are threat_ coed with the severest vengeance of the SULTAN ; they have therefore fortified their island, and have mounted 700 pieces of cannon, in expectation Oi . a visit from the Mursulmans. • rifsdrid Papers to the 3l't of last month have arrived. The King of SPAIN still continues at the Palace of San Ildefornso, where it is thought his Majesty will remain during the winter. This inten tion on the pert of thelit NG will be very displeas ing to the inhabitant/of the capital, but it is nut surprising that his Majesty should wish to avoid a city which is so frequently made the scene of tumult. A quarrel between a Colonel in the army and a porter, about the payment if a fare, was suffi cient upon the evening of the eStil to excite 'a violent commotion among the Roiling mob of the capital. This shews an extraordinary want of energy in the persons who now form the admini stration of the country. The plague or yellow fever still continues its ra►ages at Barcelona. A correct copy of the Treasury Minute fur the reduction of salaries in the public officer, the sub stance of which we gave lately, will be found in soother part of our Paper. The verdict of the Coroner's Jury in the case of HOMEY seems for the most pert to have pleased the public. One of • harsher character, we believe, was generally expected, and there can be no doubt, from the great length of time occupied by the Jury in considering the evidence, that a serious difference of opinion prevailed among the Jurors. Some of them, we suspect, were desirous of recording a ver dict of Wilful Ithirder against the officer and men forming the detachment of the life guards employ ed at Crunberbind 7 gate, us was done in the case of Vitsrceis, while others adhered to the opinion strongly and emphatically expressed by the Co roner, that their verdict ought to be Jarsrifla4le 1 - 10. auricle ; the disputants occupied the time between half-past eleven in the morning and six o'clock in the afternoon in agitating this subject, and it is probable that they resolved to compromise the mat ter in dispute when they agreed in • verdict of Manslaughter. There are many persons, however, who lament that the Jury did not return a verdict of Wiffe/ order—not influenced by any hostile feelings towards the life guards, hut anxious that an opportunity might be raised of collecting the sentiments of the twelve Judges upon the legality of employing military force on every occasion of supposed necessity or expediency. A Jury, how ever, ougbt at all times carefully to abstain frotn mixing politics with the discharge of their duty. It is not for them to assume the character and func tions of legislators or politicians in • calm and dis passionate investigation of facts, neither does it be come them to inquire into time two of any ease, or to discuss its nice bearingv and critical diatincliour. To ascertain the law belongs to the Judges ouly ; to determine the expediency or wisdom of a law is the exclusive province of Parliament. The sober fact, rest with a Jury, and if they venture to soar a Bight beyond the collecting of facts alone, they 'invade the provinces of others, whose rights are as ,sacred as their own, and tend to derange the action of a 'littera, the beauty and excellence of whiCh tusisily cousist iti its division and separation of pub lic duties.
