The bat accounts from Rome state that the Sovereigi Pontiff, who had been so ill, was recovering his health ; but Once of the Cardinals, S...veroli, Rusconi, and Fahrizzio Rollo, were in extreme danger. The sacred i college has, latterly, been thinning fast ; a new promotion was cxpectel to be made about the middle of Lent. l'aez de la Cadrna, the new Ambassador frrm Spain to this cot.ntry, had arrived at Paris, and mly therefore be soon expected here. The Etaile says it has received the Smyrna paper of the Turks, the Spertateor Orirntal, of the 15th of ' January, and that it contradicts the landing of the Greeks at Selo and Alitylene, and denies also the capture of Caristo, which the celebrated Odysseus was stated to have taken • by storm on the 12th of December: the Smyrna journal no doubt will deny, if possible, every successful achievement of the (:reeks ; falsehood and defamation have marked this journal for the last Ilirm years, whenever the Greek cause has been alluded to. The statements in the French paper, detailing the movements of the Greek chiefs, wit'. be found below. No misrepresentation can disguise the progress they arc making. The plague is raging among their infatuated enemies, and doing the dreadful work of annihilation more widely than the , sword. Odysseus is said to be before Caristo, where this terrible enemy was pent up in full havoc, and eight !peta -1 • riot vessels blockaded Negropont. Patna; the Smyrna paper asserts, was fully provisioned, and, with Cora and Malin, safe from capture. But the Greeka have now got a park of artillery, anti the Turkish holds will soon fall b:fore their tile. and the banner of the Prophet disappear front their walls. 31inziacky, the Russian diplomatist, after a slow progress, so as to watch the course of events. had arrived at the Turkish capital on the 17th. Ile will find it difficult to conciliate the jealousies of the Divan, while the Russian hordes hover on Bessarabia, menacing! the frontiers. The Turkish Reis Effiruli was, it appears, dangerously ill, and the Sublime Sultan hail deputed' his chief physician, with the menace of the bow-1 string in case of failure, to restore his Ilinister to health. This is summary method of cure; but the " brother of the sun and moon" deals in no h elf-measures: threats, however, do not arrest the career of the Christians ; their expeclitions are all successful, and their cause is daily strengthening, and advancing fast to the glorious column nation, at which, through their unparalleled eff.wts, it must now finally arrive. 1 From the M0741(11, of Feb. 27.1 PA It IN, FT). 26. Letters from Rome of the 14th eniifirm what is said in the Mario of the preceding day, on the amelioration of the !'cape's health. His Holiness, however, still kept his bed, and was unable to go to the Vatican, an he intended. On the 14th Cardinal Seven.li had re lapsed to such a degret, the: his recovery Was deTaired of; he was said to be dying. Cardinals It tisconi and Fabei;zio Run are still in danger. Iler Majesty the Duchess of Lucca received the viwi cum on the 11th, and it was expectid that news would soon ar rive of her death, caused by water in the chest. It in said that his Holiness will make a proutufion of Cardinals about the middle of Lent. M. Paez de laCadena, Minister Plenipotentiary front the Court of Spain to his Majemy the King of Great Itrilain, has arrived a:1 Paris, and put up at the (item Mail of Camille, rue Richelieu. 'From the Ltuik of Saturday.] FRANKFORT. FEW. 22. We have just received the 0, iralwl &MO. wr of the 15:h Janu ary. It contradicts the new. of the landing of the Greeks at trio, as well as that of a landing at Mitylene, and lastly that of the taking of Carlon, which Odysseus was stated to have taken by st.rtn on the 1:1th D.censber. Tixo, DEC. 22. Odysseus is before Caristo, with 2,f.00 soldiers. Omar who commanded it, has quitted it, taring a sufficient runtber of men to defend it. Having been simile I'acha of Negroptnt, he is marching against Delyanopulo, in Attica. As the plague rages in the fortress of Carlota, Odysseus has autse.l n trench to be dug round it, to endeavour to blow it up. Eight Ipaariot vessels block. ade Netropont. SIM*, DEC. 23. The Weeks hope to redoes Patna by famine, but we know that it bas a good stock of provisions. Unless it be t:tken by storm it will long remain in the hands of the Tnrks, as well as Coron and ODESSA, JAN. 21. By letters from Constantinople of the 26th January, M. Min : ziacky arrived thereon the 17ih,atnd was immediately complimented by an officer of the foreign department. This compliment was accompanies' with flowers and preserved fruits. The Iltis Effendi is dangerously The Sultan has ordered his Physician, on pain of his displeasure (that is to say on rain of death). to cure the Minister without delay. The ph) sician is in emuiternat ion. SEMLIX, JAW. 12. Letters from Saloniehi of the 3lst of January say, that Captain lhamante has lauded for the 3d time at Cassandra, with 3,01.10 men ; he has cot to pieces WO Turks, and r. turned to V01.,t with immense booty. It k universally affirmed at Pelgrade, that the furious Abolobout, s era ,,ki rr of t h e arm y of is %uniformed to Cnstanti nople, and will be su erected by the Preha of H i dden ; but where will this new General liail an army ? Abolobaut leaves at Larissa only 3000 miserable soldiers, who are destitute of every thing, IFront the Os irutal Spectator. SMYRNA, JAN. 9. The Christmas holidays have passed over in the most peaceable manner, and the good order which the police has maintained fur this year past, gets us the hope flirt it will nut be again dis turbed either here or in the villages and towns of the interior. Letters from Alexandria of the 3d December say, that a new ex pedition against Crete was preparing. It was to consist of WOO men, with 10 ships of war, and four transports, laden with provi sions. The arrival of such a tome in the island must greatly in crease the distress of the flreeks. Perfect tranquillity prevailed at Chime, where the Greeks and the Mussulmen continue to live on gaol tams. Every measure is adopted to prevent surprise. Sen t iris are stationed night and day on the eminences, and a new bat. tery is erecting to cover the town. The accounts from Hydra state the people to be discontented, and say that most of the vessels are laid up for want of niters to equip them. From Ipsara the ac counts ore of a very different character. The people are in the highest spirits ; all their vessels were gone to Patios, the reduction of which place is the grand object, as it is expected to be fol lowed by the deliverance of the whole of the Mores from the Tur kish power. Eight Turks, taken by the Ipsariots on their expedi. doe to Vourla, have been brought with their vessels to !warm where they are treated leith wildness. —Frank/bre Papers, Feb. 2i. The following Bayonne letter will be read with some interest: it talks of an vilimited amnesty, through French influence, being signed at Madrid. This would be a hard task on the bigoted Ferdinand. Spain is any thing but tranquil under tyranny. This letter says that Oviedo was in the hands of the Constitutionalists, and all Gallicia in insurrection. What else could be cxpcctrd from the out rageous oppression let loose on that country and its devoted people flavossE. Frs. 21. We have news from Madrid of the lath. It is very certain that the French Anthassiolor has oppo‘ed the publication of the Am- I nasty. This act contained classifications which seemed likely to lead to prosecutions rather than to establish union and concord in the nation. As it generally happers that the intended measures of Government do not remain secret, it was known that orders were to be sent to die principal authorities in the provinces, to draw up lists of the names of all individuals included under the several heads of the decree. It is easy to see that such measures were calculated to serve the passions of private persons ; the article relative to secret societies, in particular, was of such a nature that every individual might be persecuted, for when suspicion, or information, unsupported by proof. is admitted, no one. howevcr innocent, can be safe. It cannot be doubted that 500.0110 persons have openly declared in favour of the Constitution, and, with the addition of their family connexions, may make a fourth part of the population of Spain. It seems, however, that the observetions of M. de Talaru have been listened to; and, if we may confide in the accuracy of a letter from Bricossel, Paymaster-General of the army, a full and entire amnesty, without any restriction. is on the point of being signed. The Paymaster waits only for this to return to Bayonne, where his office will remain during the occupation. Ge neral Sentpere, on whom the l'alenciani fired their cannon while they sent a deputation to the French, arrived on the Irah inst. at Madrid, whither he is said to have been summoned by the Government to give an account of the extraordinary contribution which he levied during the siege of Valencia, and which would have sufficed to maintain an army of 15,000 men for six months. General f'hau• bon, who took one of the forts of Tortosa by aid of the commaions h e had in the place, has also been at Madrid for about a week fur a similar purpose. It is supposed that these Generals will lilad nit ans to justify thenischwa. It isweponed that Oviedo is in die bands of the Constitutionalists, and that Gallicia is in insurrection against absolute power. The French Ambassador and Count Itourniont are supposed not to be on good terms together; they sometimes have no communication with each other for several days. General Bourmont wishes to be :nadir Marshal of France. SWITZEULAND, FEB. 17. The King of Spain has ordered the remains Of the Swiss regi ments to be re-organised, rind placcd again on the same footing as they were on the 7th March, Int/. It is also desired to raise a regiment of Swiss guards. The Petition in Mr. Charles Flint's case, which was withdraws, after considerable discussion, on Friday evening, we are compelled by want of space to postpone till to morrow ; we shall then give it entire, and not in substance, as we had at tint intended,—that Mr. Chetwynd, whose 'inert-ill, we will take for granted, may be gratified in his earnest wish that it should be "fully read." his appeal to his sutroesedin,tr friends on the occasion was quite 'Pa thetic : " he wished every charge to be separately entered into ; he would la cas the House to go through every sentence ; ■nd if dare were die slightest grounds for anyone of the charges contained in it, he would implore Me Mese to pass the most severe animadversions on him," and so on. This affec'ing address, enough to make a stone speak, in stantly brought the Attpprary-Geserat on his legs. After a long preamble, in the way of prefaez—not of proof, for it avoided all the facts of the case —he came to a conclusion exactly uppusite to the expressed wish of his client. So overpowering is the at-rise of duty in a lawyer's mind! Ile could not concede to his entreaty that the yeti 'lion should be read. With the moving torn hardly out of his ear, in which the Member for Stafford had implored ths... House to go through every menu nee, not a single sec' .nee would he consent to hear. What a *ulna ,/or M,. . :roles--the one ! What a model fur At torney- Gener . the otlif " I nor," said the Learned Advocate, " I hope the House wi:l not sut!..r itself to be misled by hearing only an ex-parle sial•mral. for I can assure them that when the facts ar shied, to will find the conduct of my Hon. and Lea, nsl Fr'erd to be all that cou:d be desired." It is rather extraidMaty, that in the teeth of his own entreaty he should the House la laws anlfs an c---ixtrle ,falentu.l; to heatn ature to the rtitioa ua the part of Mr. Chetwynd, wh;: • he strenuously and successfully ap rased the reinfia.• ( die on the part of Mr. Flint. Ile assures tir• House, that when the . filels are staled, his lion. and L. ain.ll Friend will come out from the in quiry with his ermine of office unspotted. He will be proved to be all they could d< sire. But the Learned lientleman ptovid. s before-hand, that the facts Ann nal he slated. Ile talks triumphantly of the splendor with which his client's reputation will come out of the refiner's • fire; but he takes special care that it shall not pass the test. • " If I oppose," says he, " the bringing up of th.• peti tion, I do so because the petition states what is untrue— ; because it contains calumnies and aspersions against an Honourable Member of this (louse and a Magistrate." (Loud cheers from the Ministerial Benches.) IF, instead of cheering the Learned Member, they had asked him how the House were to inform themselves that the petition stated what u•es untrue, if they apposed its being r reeierd, and rchised to hear it reeit,.it would hate been ch more to the purpose. Nor do we see how he could have eluded the question. We should say, that, chatter das Mr. Chetwynd has be-n, to have the petition, containing these charges and alining to verify them upon' oath, uitSdroten, is not the acquittal with which a man. conscious that the charges were fa'se, should be satisfied. It is not, in our opinion, an acquittal that, omit r the dr , cumstancs, as a • Member of Parliament, he could honour- ably receive. His self-respect, his rank in society, his character as a Magistrate, his feelings as a man. should have mad.• him.ditslain to take reAlge in the panc e tyr'cs a party. To do Ministers justice—for the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mr." Canning both spoke on the occa sion—they were not very lavish of their praise ; they spoke as vindicating one whom they could have wished had made it less necessary to defend hint. This threw the weight of protection more strongly on th•e A ttorney-11. meal ; and the raw material must be bad indetsl, out of which he cannot spin a defence in same shape or other. In the present case, scorning the assistance of truth and fact, he relied on the resourc.•s of his own rich invention ; a spring, that, when all others are dry, never fails. But Westminster-ball and the House of Commons are very different theatres. As an Advocate—and there is no better— his client has, perhaps, a claim to all his power of maeage ment and and misrepresentation, but as a Walther or Par liament, the public have a claim upon his integrity, and have a right to demand that, in that House, he should espouse the cause of truth and the interests of justic Because if the protective spirit of the Constitution is to be kept rip, it is in tout House its principles must be recog nized and recorded. If the people of England are net to be hire - after at the mercy of the county magistrates ; if they are not to be brought under the capricious and usurped dominion of Justices of the Peace ; if they are not hereafter to be sentenced without cause, or to suffer with out appeal—then has the Attorney-IGene•ral, in his plan• in Parliament, a different duty to perform from that of screening official delinquency, or of smothering the ap peal that prays redress against it. %Ft; hare no toom fur a (Lulled discustion of his mis statements, but there arc two leading points which we must not permit to pass without putting the facts before the public precis..ly as they stand, and can be supported by unexceptionable and aermu testimony. " And now," says the Attorney-Gmeral, " as to the h,:rdship which the petitioner alleges he endured from a sentence of three months hard labour at the tread-mill. Why, the fact is, he was smtmeed to three months hard labour, but upon his representing that his health was such as not to allow him to work at the he was not work ed at it for more than fire hours. (Loud cries of " Hear, hear," from the Ministerial benches.) " Mr. Denman—Do you mean altogether? " The A ttorney-General—Altogether,--upon his repre senting that his constitution unfitted him to work at the tread-wh:el. For a polion of his confinement he was put to spinning wool, and for the rental ldrr of his imprison ment he did nothing ; he was itllc." In the first place, there was no just ground for charging Mr. C. Flint with a riot, nor any legal warranty for passing upon him any simtence at all. Now to the fact. Ile was stript of his own clothes immediately on his arrival at the prison ; and everything he had was taken from him, even to the money in his pockets. He was then compelled to put on the gaol dress, consisting of a black and purple jacket, waistcoat, and truwsers, of the coarsest kind ; rou,;11, coarse, party-coloured worsted stockings, a cap, and heavy wooden clogs. The very next day (Saturday), he was put to work with the felons repos the tread-mitt, and worked, as the rest, the whale they, and was kept to the gaol allowance, — water-gruel morning and night ; potatoes and salt, with dry bread, to dinner. On Monday be was put wain on Mw head-mill ; but after working an hour. was fetched away by Palmer, and taken to the Weavers Yard, where, with criminals of the very worst description, he was put to turn-I ing a large rui.t.t0•5111.1., for the scow ing of dirty ban kets and foul linen, which was turned by four prisoners at a time. At this labour, accompanied with circumstances too offensive to detail, he was kept for nearly two whole weeks. When it was intimated to biln, on the Saturday, that he was to be again put upon the tread-mill, be represaite el to Mr. Cut:MY:in pen/en/oily, who attended the gaol out that day at visiting magistrate, the severe treatment be under went, and Orr representing that his constitution was daily breaking under 1:, entreated that he might not be again put upon the tread-wheel. Mr. Uhetwynel inquired of the task master " to what labour Mr. Flint had be: n put ?" who I told him " to the fulling-mill," to which Mr. ( betwyud's reply was, " That is not hoed labour :" and afterwards went away. Sunday intervened. On the Monday Mr. Flint was ordered go volt the tread-mill, which he refused to, do, saying it was utterly impossible, for he had neither health nor strength to support it. l'pon this he was ordered, into the prison yard, to break Ames, and an iron hammer and other materials were supplied to him far the purpose— and this in the month of November ! Tills disgraceful labour he likewise r,-,7itstxl, on the same pounds as before,' and require:l that the surgeons of the prison (for Mr. 11 awthorn, the physician to the family, had been peremp torily refused permission to visit him) !night he sent fur, to examine and report upon the state of his health. When he complained to Mr. Brutton (the gaoler) of being put to • break stones, when he must know his connexions and his pro:•te:i.; onal prospects, his reply to him was, "Sir, we Make no tii. unction li.re betweeu lawyers and beicAfoy m e When the prison surgeons arrived, and attended on Mr. Charles Flint, they could not help reporting that his health was not such as tope • him to be put either to the labour of the tread-mill or of stone-breaking. Ile was, in conse quence of this report, consigned to the wearisome labour of carding and spinning, from the time he got up till he went to bed ; and at this lie was k, pt, without intermission, till the eery hurt day if his impri.wtonie flow, arter this, stands the Ateorney-General's state ment? What impression must this produce upon the public mind, and what inferences will be drawn as to the reiianey to be placed upon the veracity of those who would heap praise and humor on Mr. Clietwynd ? This is beg one fact. We are plevented by want of room from gait.' into others to-day ; to-morrow we shall resume the sub ject. L. is of the utmost importance that the public should he awakened to the gri.vanc. s of the great multitude that throtiyhont the Litiploin have 'off. red, and are at this ma went sufflring, tender the arbitrary and most alarming power vested by recent statutes in the County Magistrates. The cas. r of Mr. Char', s Flint and his brother will ex emplify its afflictive consequences. There is no stretch of despotism to which it may not be made subservient. it is utterly incompatible with the security of public liberty, and is in league against the best inttrvsts of the people. Lider the overtime of Ws power, open as it is, to abuses of the worst kind, the privily. es of the English constitution are a dead !cure, and the rights of the subject an empty name. We have of late seen the seeds of this power shoot forth rank and bold, and it is daily striking deeper root. It is among the mum alarming aympteins of the limes, and the Public attention, strongly t xvited towards it as it now it, will, we trust, not readily be withdrawn from it. A snob-meeting has been raised witb ed ov in I t Eilu aa blin exy.e y pti ll o f n r.. O'Connell, from which, almost ev, ry Catholic of character and respectability in the country was absent: not a Peer, a gentleman of fortune, or a well-meaning man in middle life, would ideliti!y him with the vulgar violence and vituperation of the two or three declaimers, who rant weekly in Capel-street, and collected at Cis :meting a noisy rabble, to hear their in temperate crations, and applaud them. We know no language of eprobation sufficiently strong, to apply to the conduct and prepositions of 111050 who are thus heapirg obloquy and injuries on the Catholic body generally. There is not a re:Text:dile (*lobate Gentleman throughout Ireland, who does not feel most indignant at the violence and ribaldry of this mischievous faction. Mr. Mahon, a wealthy and most respectable merchant of Dublin, hos already emend his protest agai.sst it in the strongest terms ; Mr. O'Connor, the head of the greet West India house of that tiame in Dublin, would not UM. I I lion them longer by his presence ; Mr. Browne talked of Mr. O'Co,nnell's bigotry and violence with unqualified disgust. We copy from the C.A. Souther n Iteporte t, the west influential paper in the south of Ireland, a short hut decisive article on the insane trocerdinge of this " Ass 'ciation," which will spew the loathing and eont(mpt with which the Catholics generally regard their proceedings. No falsehoods, or vulgar slanders, vomited about Cie Press" of London, by any individuals, shall prevent us from vindicating the rights of the Ca tholics gent rally, to equi.l justice and freedom ; or exposing the inotritchanks and bigsts, among that body, who are the greatest enemies Catholic Emancipation new ppaestra. The pithy, reply of Mr. Nicholas Mahon, at die last inert. ing of that Beard, to Mr. O'Connell's abase of the Duke of York, ohe n he said " be bad yet to learn that bun. cipation would be obtained by idle walls, and empty threats," was universally felt and ackm ovrledgma in its truth and justice. The calmness and compound of that knot, called " an Association," may also be learned from the printed remarks of Mr. O'Gorman, the respectable Sr cralary of the Irish Catholic*, at the same Meeting:—" Mr. " O'Connell," he said, " had already spoken four times on " the question of his report, and he asked it' Mr. O'Connell " was to be the whole Catholic Association himself." The fact is, the vanity and vio!( nce of one man, have for rars been the bane of the Catholic close; he deals eter nally in personal vituperation and abuse; his quarrel with Mr. Peel, in which lie cut so ehientruns a figure, anti about whom he has not dared to mouth a word since, strung from that source. Mr. Shell—who now talks, in place cf writing his tragedy si.n tenet's, and is content to play Mauler Mephes to the ',Alava B. Ladd of Dublin, until he found that Mr. Plunk( tt, whom he lauded so lone, gave him roaming—was Mr. O'Connell's inveterate atttagonist ; he has now taken up his weapons of abuse ;—antl these are the nwn who thrust themselves forward as the organs of the Catlielie body, and otter sentiments and resolutions the millions of Ireland utterly disclaim. We are persuaded that the vitupe ration of Mr. O'Connell, in perticuiar, has made and cot . firmed many enemies to the t 'atholic cause. We rennin - her his epithets on Mr. Peel—his talking of him, wine i mast izetrilemanlq feeling, no doubt, as basing been ‘• squeezed out or a c.itton manufactory," and as an Orange Peel." The presomai dec i sion of the then Irish Secretary soon, however, put an end to these tirades, and the Morale S..cretary is since °mitt:a iii Mr. O'Connell's " Billings:rote." Wet egret sincerely Mr. Peel's prejudiecs; and, from his high charactio and principles, we additionally lament thou. We base lately learned an anecdote of his private life, which is pinch to his honour, and spews that isrliriduallq lie entertains wither hostility to the Cad'• lie, nor distrust of dhoti in the most con!idential relations. On purchasing Lttlworth Castle, the tine roman:v residence cf Mr. Weld, one of the first Catholics in England, not a single Catholic servant was discharged of the many then in the house; sttil the most strict attention bas since be. n paid to their religious contents, in providing thous wits tish on all fast days, when Catholics, from a conscientious feeling, do nut eat Inuit. This trait in .Mr. P el's private conduct has come to us from a source we cannot doubt, and it is most credit:Ode to him. tahnnts: and dispassion, to argument might eoneiliate such a man. and Lave' the same ef fect with time next heir to the Throne, making both powerful f r i en d s in place of oppApoiti. But a vulgar Eno', would not shout at suds orattry ; and abuse amid bigotry are therefore substituted. As to the idle charge of our being connected old' Marep.ii Wellesley's Government in In land,—suelm a comiectie mm, if it did exist, we should con ceive most honourable to us ; but the character and g, - vernment of that cidi ; 4litclieil Noble man both stand to high to need for a moment our feeble support ; his own measures, his political career for 39 years, and the gra titude and respect of all that is enlightened, honest, or well-intentioned in Inland, form his best eulogitun—an universal homage to which we can add nothing. . • CAT 1111 l SS , JC lAT 10 N.-If it were possible'that the pto eeedings of this selr-elected body could be considered by Pasha- I mem, atar the enlighte:ted Pnaestants of the Empire, as either indi.
