The only article of foreign intelligence these papers communicate is the following extract from the Nuremberg Gazette :—" It is said that a person of consequence, who belongs to one of the European Eta twits at Constantinople, has written to a commercial Louse at Odessa, that it was generally reported in the suburb of Pera, that the Reis Effeadi, after an extra ordinary Council of all the Nobles of the Ottoman Empire had been holden, had transmitted to the Mi nisters of England and Austria a Note of the highest importance, the contents of which were of a aature to pat an end to the uacertaiaty which had so long pre vailed in the affairs of the East."—The Alorategor gives the issue of the trials which took place before the Court of Assizes at.Colmar. for the conspiracy of Belfort. lestead of finding all the nettled guilty of the conspiracy, the Jury found only four of them guilty, and tint of not rcceeliag the existence of a conspiracy, which took the capital charge away.— Tht se four individuals, Colonels Teillier and Pailhes, and the Inferior Officers (Wound and Dublar, were therefore only condemned to five years' imprisonment, together with a fineof 500 frames (about 201.), and to remain for Eve years longer nada the special aeperia tendance of the Ertaxtn FUNDS, Auo. 16.—Five per Cent.

CASTLEREAGH'S CUTTING HIS THROAT. The Courier of Friday says, " trret,4 at Patens " Emu, upon hearing of the fatal event, offered the "' ringers a sovereign to ring the bells." The Courier adds, that it has the sense and the calling of the wretch! We wish we had the same; for, to a certainty, we te , •tad go to PetereGeld expressly to shake this " tge "by the band ;as we already have many a 'nu on congratulating him on the occasion; an occasion of greater and more general satisfaeion than any that we have witnessed, except that of the ac quittal of the injured Quests, against whom this very CAXTLERLAGIi presented the green-bags. And now let us ask,is there any thing immoral or sremenfy in exults, t sties ? If so, how shall words express the conduct , of those who rejoiced at the fall of Naeohaose ? Bat tte Morning Chronicle, who has moralised upon the subject a good deal, does not seem to view this matter in the true light. This paper of the other day says:— " We pity from the bottom of onr soul those who can " feel any delight in exposing the weaknesses of onr " nature. or in converting a calamity of %Mason into the " means of wounding thefeeli4B of surviving relatives 1 ,, (I riends." And, after some further remarks of l: es ituportance, it concludes io these words :—" Good Goo! whatever may have been a man's opinions, is " it the time when he has just been called to his long " account, and when the hearts of those to whom h e " was endeared are tremblingly susceptible, that we •• ought to display the pride of one own self 0 . 1 fiei• ‘• • 'icy, or supposed infallibility?" No : but, if it ..n:d ever. be proper to make a display of our own self-sufficiency. this would he as fit a time as any other. It is not just to charge a man with presuming that he is infallible, because he strongly reprobates an act of self-destruction in another. If no such re probation were to take place, is it not evident that t',ese acts wools! be much more frequent than they are? If self-murder were not reprobated and despised, Low many more families would have to mourn over the disgraceful act ? The Chronicle has mentioned the affair of ROMILLY: sae invite 7'he Chronicle, io this twasoo of dearth of news, to answer the arguments on that affair, which it will find in the Register. The Chronicle wants the law altered. The law is as old as t irilizerl - man. But, 7'he Chronicle would torn the world upside down because two Whig bakers cot their throats. The law is jest what it ought to be ;it Duly requires to be impartially administered. It is monad here, by the Chronicle, that those who exult (as I do most sincerely), exult over the relations and friends of the self murderer. Such persons, such telations and friends, are quite safe on this score : fur, if there were any one brutal enough to do this, they would tee bins punished by scorn as universal as the air. Bat, no such thing is.ever done. When men oval on such an ocussion, it is because the party who has fallen has lived to their injury and wrong, and , THE STATESMAN, because the patting an end to his life, sod tltat,too. by his own bat de, removes him out of the way. effec tually prevents hint from doing thews any wore wrong. and, at the same time, makes bins appear In the light either of an insane person or in that of afelon. is real, ream!, sad just grilled for exultatioe In the' wronged party; and that party is by no means to be accused of triumphing over the re/aliens and private friends of the deceased; aud•is a poor, weak-minded thing indeed, if be be restrained from expressieg his joy merely because be may thereby give pain to such relations and friends. To act on a principle liko this would introduce strange customs indeed. We must write and print about criminals of any sort; and, indeed, we mast wholly cease to pnuisb and no tice crimes; for any criminal Las big " relations said friends." Bat, what doe. the Chronicle mean by saying, In case like this, that a "men': opinions" are nut to b raked up on such an' occasion ; sad that we ate set to exult at his fall on account of them. Bpi/dome! Faith It is net opinions that we *scribe to COSMO. ,IlltAG/f, or that we ascribed to Pitaccvax. Asa. here, let us stop a moment, to remark, that when Mr. BOL LING/1111 was tried for shooting Pertcava L, no atten tion was paid to the plea of insanity pat forward by hi, friend., though the grounds for such plea were ten thousand times stronger than in the case of Catme- IlllAon. He had been dancing attendance atiht offices for mootbe and months in vain. His despair *4s the effect of this. Yet. though there was plenty of evi deuce to prove the melancholy, into which. he had been pillaged for some months, he was hanged as a riffs/ murderer. But, the insanity of CASTIASZAON is to be credited at once, though he was sitting in conned with the king only about arty hours before be I did the deed. To return, it is not opinions, but sets, publi7 acts, acts affecting the freedom, the happiness, the lives, of a people, that we ascribe to CASTOLIMAGII and to PCRCEVAL. The latter, it the very moment when lie expired, had the design of calming a fortress to be erect. od in Hyde Park, sufficient to contain thirty thousand horse, foot and artillery, for the avowed purpose; for the purpose explicitly stated by himself, of keeping the people of London in awe ! This was the most insolent of all mankind, as far as our observation has gone. And, when the people of Nottingham made bonfires 4 and rang the bells on hearing of his death, did they do it to give pain to his relations gaff f• iemis ? Did they do it in mitosis!' over him on account of his "opinions?" No: it was his deeds which bad given them offence ; and, it was on account of those deeds that they felt and expressed joy at the death of the man. And, is it not the same in the case of Cisfs.n• anion ? We do not know or care any thing sheet his opinions. We do not know what he thought ; bat we have good reason to know what he did. Ilia deeds are written in ten thousand plates, where we read them every day of our lives. Can we forget these deeds? And shall we not rrjoire that the like of them can OC• Ter araio be committed by the same man ? It is ssid, that we are not to tilumph over a fallen enemy. This, like most other rules, must have its exceptions; and, mind, Gaol to as enemy that 'no inefitir means. It him ; to defend oars& the compass of possibilii ways supposed, when umph over him after assails u with means sible, we can trit So that, if we are not, over a firden enemy, we are never, even when the act of Ood, or his own act, frees us fiom his,corpit n rods, to express our eatisfiction ; and yet, such, of ;alt the cases that can happen, is a case which ought to call on us to rejoice. Tibet were the sort of toms with which CASTLEREAGH assailed us: whether his were fair and open combat with us ; whether We had fair play with him ; whether it were possible for us to te iamph by any means other than such as would effect his/all; three are questions that every one is able to d e cide, and if decided in the negative, our present triumph is natural and just, and no more argues a want of manfiaers in the people of Engisntl, than the crowing over a dead fox would argue want of game in the inhabitants of the hen-roost. BISHOP AND SOLDIZILLWG have mentioned the bailof Mr. eset.tut and the females of his family, compared with that taken in the case of the Bishop. We now have to point out the boil, taken, before trial. in the ease of Mr. JOSIPII Jonsson of Manchester . Mr. Jounson, a tradesman, was indicted for attending the meeting of 16th of Atigut ; and he was held in bail to the amount of TWO THOUSAND POUNDS! And yet the same bill of rights was in existence that did, we are told, comp( Mr. Deus to let the Right Reverend Father is GOD and Cotomissioner of the hoard of Education go with bail to half the amount given by Mr. JOHNSON, wbo, in a very interesting pamphlet states this fact of the bail incidentally. Wives or SCIFIRIRG.—We are not to meothin the throat-rutting of CASTLIME•OII on account el Lis wife. It Is very right to feel completion fur the wives amen in unhappy circumstances. But, we recollect, that, when Mrs. Tuts ILIWOOD most hutubly petitioned the KING to have the beheaded body of her husband de livered to her, in order that she might perform to wards her husband the last sad duties of an affection- Ste wife, the Teases: was rejUsed. We also remember, that, when Mrs. Jonsson, brought to a death-bed by the persecution endured by her husband and the thought of his being it. a dungeon ; when this affectionate wife implored diet she might see her husband on that death bed, and when that husband most bonttly petitioned for permission to gratify her dying wish, offering to give any bail and to endure any length of imprisoment as the price of the indulgence, the petition was re jected! That amiable and tender wife and mother was left to expire sat rounded by her helpless children, and the husband was left to learn the fact in his dongeon while one side of " the House" so:icited and the other aide agreed to the release of Sir lIIANAISZII Loren! Talk of history indeed! This is the kind of history that is of ace. When we have seen a suitable degree of compassion be-towed oo the relations of the suf fering reformers by persons in the ries rooks, we shall begin to bestow compassion on their relations; bat sot before. Txs H•avesT.—Very little core is eat in Roy part of tho Wisdom south of Staffordshire; aid the crop is so large and so good, that the price mast be ►ow. Apple. are abundant too ; aid sterna and bock•nate are a good crop. The turnips, cont►ary to all rupee tatioo, are good, and the crop will be large, though sot so forward as some years owing to the dry weather in JIM aid July. The wheat has been got off SO early, that it will, in many cases, be followed by large crops of turnips. It is a year of years. Such crops base never been known since 1762, which was talked of for thi►ty or forty years afterwards. What, then, is now to be the eff.ct of •' over-production!" What will our ?ripe cock of a Minister say now! The reports of the day relative to ministerial ar: rangemeets are that the Duke of MILLINGTON, ll listed by Lord Magri!Ham, is to attend Congress. in lien of the late Marquess of Loadooderry, and that the duties of the late Marquess of Londonderry will be divided between Mr. Peel and Mr. Cannieg ; Mr. Peel to take the Secretaryship, and Mr. Canning to supply the deficiency occasioned by the death of the Marquess in the House of Commons. Mr. Walters, the King's Messenger, arrived at Lord Bathurst's Office on Saturday, with dispatches from the King, and immediately set off to Coombe Wood, where the Ministers are assembled, and a Cabinet Council is expected to be held this day. A King's Messenger arrived in the course of yester day at North Cray, with despatches (said to be from Edinburgh) for Lord Clanwilliato ; and a letter from the Karl of Liverpool to that Noble Lord arrived at the same time. A On Wednesday evening. Lord Sidmonth passed through Doncaster, from the North, on Lis way to town. The King. in the course of his stay in.Edinburgb, will lay the first stone of the grand national moue meet, the Parthenon, which is to be erected on the Calton Hills. _ . . The Duke of Wellington arrived on Friday night at Apsley-bouse, and on Saturday dined with the Earl of Liverpool at Coombe Wood. His Gene, it is said, has not yet visited North Cray. Th. Duke of Cambridge is expected to arrive in England the latter end of this month. The Duke of Bedford is sufficiently convalescent to hike hit departure from his present resideace, Ends leigb, Tavistock, which his Grace purposes to do is a few days. Sir Francis Burdett is now residing with his lady end family in the house of Sit John Keunaway, at Sidmouth. The Antelope bas arrived from Buenos Ayres with letters of the 6th May; the following is an extract : BA D News most USU.—Lord Cochrane has disap peared with the fleet. Two Spanish frigates are off the coast taking all the vessels they can meet with. San Martin bas got sick of the English; there is only one of them with him new. A Mail from Lisbon has arrived, by which letters and Papers to the 4th instant have been received. By the for mer we learn, that on the morning oldie 3d, a notice had been issued by Government that they were ready to.re ceive tenders for a loan, to the amount of about one million sterling. A new Report on the Government of the Brazils was read in the sitting of the Cortes on the 2d.

Among the other sued by the Cortes in their late Sit‘ings, is a project of law for the secularisation of tie reli gious orders. The preamble says, The Cortes. he. considering the necessity of reducing the number of the religious of both sexes, and of their convents, to such a number that they may not be detrimental to labour and industry, enacts the project—the substance of which is, that no novices shall be admitted for the present, and till further orders, and that monks sad nuns may leave their convents under certain regula tions, which are contained in five articles.—This plan was discussed in three saccsasive sittings (July 31, August 1, and 2,) and gave rise to mach deLate: it was adopted. Dutch papers to the lfith inst. bring accounts of a terrible fire which bed broke out in the woods of Not. way. Several bandied peasants were collecting to cut down as many trees as would arrest the progress of the conflagration.

The King of the Netherlands rent-nod to the Hague on the 14:h. The Bill respecting the Salt Duties had passed the First Chamber of the States- General by a majority of 24 to 2, and that r,-I;tive to the grinding of corn, by a majority of 22 to 4.

The Emperor Alston der war expected to arrive at Vienna between the 1:0:4 and 20th instant. The King of Prussia was estreted about the same time ; and after a short stay i t the Austrian capital, it was understood that these S..ve reigns, with the Emperor Francis, would repair to Verona to open the Congress to be there held. The following is from a United States Newspaper. —A short time since there were published in the Sew York Statesmats, certain queries to the honourable Jonathan Russell, which insinuated in very plate terms, 'hat during the negociations at Ghent, he was engaged in giving a house in London certain informa tion as to their progress, for the purpose of commercial speculation, in the advantage of which, he was to be a participator. On this the Boston Stateetnin ass its that " Mr. Russell has inquired of the New York Editor, who published the series of innendoes against him, the name of the author, and has given an utter and indignant denial of the charges which they inv o lve —To this the Nett York S'ettesotaa joins issue ss fol lows Our correspondent • Ariel,' has rcturhed to this city from which he has been absent for the last fortnight.

If we should lie cold in describing the thickly pen• pled shores and piers of Leith, or the well massed yards and shrouds spiring high above them, it is be. cause we bare since followed bat the route of proces sion, and teen the mountain of heads where erst stood Calton-hill, the site of our intended Parthenoa. We. however, shall not overleap our story ; but talus; that we be bolt ill our narration now, 'tis prodest is give out that there is somewhat that shall war 0 soon. True it is, that we did neither overlook 64 importance, nor underrate the pressure, of the crated in which we, like all unimportant noes, were Width on the shore of Leith. Sure are we, that we did not undervalue the stout and able-seet .. i)) r , tars who stami aloft, nor the manly hearts which we could belie ve I then : to posters: nor did we fail to' prize their mare ' securely seated sweetheirts, who studded the fere castles with their roses and bright eyes—hot less a monarch's than a sailor's pride.
