LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF KING'S BENCH. SIR JAMES JELF V. ORIEL. Mr. CAMPBELL (with whom was Mr. Broderick) stated that this was an action upon a bill of exchange for 200/., drawn by the defendant, and accepted by Lord Audley. The Learned Counsel had heard it hinted that the defence to this action was, that it was an usurious transaction ; but how usury could be established he was at a loss to know. He then proved the band-writing of the defendant and Lord Audley. Mr. DENMAN (as now addressed by Lord Tenterden, from his havinm been raised from Common Serjeant to the dignity of King's Counsel) intimated to his Lordship, that although the bill was accepted, and made payable at Sir James Esdaile's bank, yet the following words were added in another hand-writing—" or at No. It 4, Poland treet, Oxford-street." This last sentence was included in ation, which was dearly bad, as it stated the sen tnce to he a part of the acceptance, and that the hilt was made payable at Poland-street, when, in fact, the accept ance only made it payable at Sir James Eadaile's. Mr. CAMPBELL submitted, that this case was the very one which came within a recent Act of Parliament, and hoped that his Lordship would permit them to amend the declaration, as it was clearly an oversight by the special pleader. Lord TENTERDEN said, that it was a blunder by negli gence, and not an oversight that could have been commit ted, if proper care had been used. Mr. CAMPBELL—WouId your Lordship allow justice to he defeated by an accidental slip of this sot t by the special pleader. Lord TENTERDEN—T am not going to allow justice to be defeated. It is always my object to do justice, but there is a discretion vested in me which I must exercise, accord ing to my own judgment, and exercising that discretion, I do not think that this is a cue to which the indulgence of the Act alluded to ought to be extended. Mr. CAMPBELL—But will your Lordship allow me to suggest the reasons by which I think this a ease within the Act. Lord TENTERDIN—You may suggest what you please, Cr ; I thought you had done, or I should not have spoken. Mr. CAMPBELL then submitted that previous to the --rha,-"Aurpna `lsa l 67 - order to correct that defect, and give the Judge power to etend indulgence to such eases as he should think fit.— This was clearly an oversight, and he thought, with great deference, that his Lordship would still allow them the begat of that Act. Lord TENTERDEN said that if he did, he should be holding out a premium to negligence. It had been for m/Ay too much the practice to swerve from strictness in practice, for the purpose of doing justice in particular eases ; that practice lad established precedents, which had introduced an injurious laxity in the practice of the law which he could not approve of, and he regretted that such a laxity should ever have been produced. This was clearly - a piece of gross negligence, and must follow the regular course. The plaintiff then went on the count for the account Air, DENMAN (with whom was Mr. ARLISS RICH ARON') eantended against 6 is count, that the marble for which the bill was given was not bought by the defendant his agent ; aria secondly, that if it had been so bought, it was ►wt worth half what was charged for it, for the purpose of proving which be called witnesses. Mr. CAMPBELL replied, the learned Judge summed up the evidence, and the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff Damages 2001. SPIRACY TO DEFRAUD.-THE KING V. JOHN CAR- KINGTON AND - BEAUMONT. Mr. f', PoLLocx, with whom was Mr. FOLLET, stated, that this was an indictment against John Carrington and another person. named Beaumont, for conspiring to de fraud Messrs. Ferguson and Co. of goods to the amount of I IS/. 2s. The defendant, Carrington, opened a mercer's shop, in Bridge-street, Blackfriars, and induced Messrs. Ferguson and Co. to give him credit to the above amount. The Learned Counsel said, he would be able to prove that as each parcel of goods was furnished to Car rington, it was fetched away by Beaumont, who kept a shop in Holborn, and there exposed the goods for sale, at dress price than Ferguson and Co. could have bought them at. Under this proof, he had no doubt that the Jury would return a verdict against the defendants. Mr. Truesstcgtc appeared for Carrington, but Beaumont had not retained Couniwl. After some evidence had been adduced, the Learned Audge did not think that it could support the indictment, yd theAdendants were acquittefl. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. DIELAPIEL.I) P. Pii.XF.SIAN AND OTHNILS. The plaintiff in this case is a partner in the firm of Messrs, Coombe, Delafield, and Co., the Eminent brewers, and the defendants are respectable solicitors in the city. The action was brought to recover compensation in da mazes for an alleged negligence on the part of the defend mats in their proiessional business, by which negligence the plaintiffs had been indswe4 to advance a considerable sum of money on security of a lesaa of the Bird-cage public house, Bethnal-green, which lease it afterwards appeared bad become forfeited before the money was advanced. After several witnesses had been examined on an objection of Mr. Serjeant Jones's, tint plaintiff was nonsuited. In the course of the above trial, it was found necessary to have the evidence of a person named Junes, the person who received the money of the plaintiW. On his being called into the witness-box, Mr. Serjeant WILDE objected to his evidence, on the ground of his having taken the benefit of the Insolvent Debtors' Act. The Learned Counsel contended that that Act only related to the person ; and as all future property of insolvents was liable to the payment of their debts, they must of necessity have an interest in any matter relating to their estate. The CHIEF JUSTlCE—Brother Wilde, Las there ever been any decision on this point ? Mr. Serjeant WILnE was not aware that there had. Serieavt TODDY—No, my Lord ; it is the first Slime an objection of this kind was ever raised. The CifIEF JUSTICE—I have known many persons who Thad taken the benefit of the Insolvent Act examined on matters relating to their estate ; but then no objection was varied, ,and therefora there is no authority. I see very feWe t itt the objection, and I cannot think him an `Atchnitisi‘le *anew., brother Tuldy. =Mr. Serjeant Tannv begged, on so important a point, • • and one of such novelty, his Lordship would hear him, be fore he !tinily decided on the admissibility of the witness: CHIEF JUSTlCE—Certainly, with pleasure. Mr. Serjeant TODDY then contended at considerable length, that theta was no distinction between the compe tency of a bankrupt to give evidence, and an insolvent who had been discharged front his debts under the provisions of the Act. It wait not enough to suppose that by p oss ibilit y sh e witness might bow it future interest in the question, it ought to be clearly proved that be was at the present mo in, nt interested. He did, therefore, hope the Court would lot consider the witness disqualified from giving evidence on the b ire supposition, that he might at a future time pos sess an interest. Mr. COMYN followed on the same side, and contended that an insolvent never could be interested in any such question; for, after obtaining the benefit of the Act, his person was not li dile to any debt previously contracted ; and with respect to his future property, that, by the 57th section, was entirely under the controul of the Court. It was a question never before raised, and therefore ought to be decided by a full Court. The defendants there might take the objection in case a verdict should now go against elem. And as there was no authority on the point, he trusted his Lordship would consider the witness in the same situation as a certificated bankrupt. Mr. Serjeant WILDE was about to reply, when The CHIEF JUSTICE interrupted him. His Lordship said the difficulty lie felt in the question was this : sup posing on the strength of an insolvent's evidence sufficient money should be recovered to pay off all the debts on his schedule, if he should become possessed of property in future, it never could be made available in the manner contemplated by the Act. Ile therefore felt hound to pronounce against the admissibility of the evidence of a person that had been discharged under the Insolvent Debtors' Act. LAW NOTICES.

On inquiry at the Crown (the public-house to which she was conveyed), we were informed that, by perseverance in the application of the usual restoratives, she was so far recovered as to be enabled to return home on Sunday. She refused to tell her name, or the cause of the rash act. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—Yesterday afternoon, a most distressing occurrence took place in the vicinity of Falkirk. CHARLES ANDERSON, a boy of between 11 and 12 years of age, was dispatched by his master to bring home a pony from a stable in Kerse-lane. The pony being in a high condition and finding himself bestrode by a very light, and perhaps an unskilful rider, went off at a full glin consequence of which the boy was thrown from t, and one of his feet getting un fortunately entangled m the stirrup, he was dragged along the hard road from Lady's Mill, to the nearest houses at the foot of Kerse-lane, where it was stopped. When re leased from the pony the poor boy presented a most melan choly spectacle to the bystanders. His features were hor ribly disfigured—the skin was torn from his face, and one of his eyes had fallen from his head, which was dreadfully shattered. Ile heaved one long sigh, and immediately expired,..Stir/iny Journal, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 20, 1829. ANOTEIER RUSSIAN MANIFESTO. Another Manifesto of hypocrisy has just been issued by the Imperial Professor of Moderation in the North, in the shape of a congratulatory acknowledgment that peace has been concluded. This document is apparently addressed to the people of Russia, but indirectly to the whole of Europe, and more especially to those Govern ments who have hitherto reposed their faith on the smooth assertions of the Emperor NICHOLAS. With his usual humility the Emperor ascribes to Divine Providence the glory of having achieved the objects of Russian ambitition, while by a singular oversight in the God of his idolatry, the same Providence was unable to bring the Turks to a sense of their danger, though the Russians had offered them peace after each successive victory. No : Providence hardened the hearts of the Turks till it suited the Russians to offer peace in earnest —or, in other words, till they had accomplished the purposes of their legitimate of Providence is always brought in to sanctify the e insidious designs of ambitious monarchs. No war has ever yet been begun, or peace concluded but " Providence" was lugged in to bless the antis of the aggressor, and to receive thanks for the return of peace, after the perpetration of a multitude of crimes by the victorious violator of every law, human and divine. Acting upon this principle, the Em peror. NICHOLAS ascribes the success of his cause to the interposition of the AL MIGHTY, whose Providence is irreverently mixed up with the " combat and glory—the happy and prosperous results—and the blood of warriors redeemed by numerous advantages be stowed on Russia by the benediction of Heaven !" Really the heart sickens at such canting hypo crisy. Nor is the moderation of the EMPEROR behind his religious gratitude. He set out in the war with disclaiming all territorial aggrandizement, and we behold in this Procla mation how well he has redeemed his promise. After dwelling upon his commercial successes, he says, " the security of our frontiers, especi ally on the Asiatic side, is for ever guaranteed by the incorporation with the Empire of the fortresses of Anapa, Poti, Akhalzik, Atzkour, and Akhalkalaki These are his own words. Only five fortresses and a large tract of terri tory ! But this is not all ;—just indemnities are secured for the expences of the war, and the individual losses of Russian subjects. How comes it that the amount of these just indemni p ties is not mentioned with the stipulations for their payment, that the world might form a more correct idea of their justice than can be learned from the Imperial hypocrite ? But no ! the time is not yet ripe for the disclosure of the terms. Russian policy has so far succeeded, and it would not be prudent to exhibit how much the practice of moderation squares with the pro fessions that have hitherto imposed upon Eu rope, but can deceive no longer. The following is the precious Manifesto : (From the Moniteur of Sunday.) PARIS, OCT. 18. We have received the followingcommunication :• MANIFESTO OF HIS MAJESTY THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA. " By the Grace of God, We, Nicholas the First, Emperor and Autocrat of all the Russian, &c. " Thanks to the Decrees of Divine Providence, the Treaty of perpetual Peace between Russia and the Ottoman Porte was concluded, and signed at Adrianople, on the 2d (14th) September, by the re spective Plenipotentiaries of the two Empires. ".The whole world is sufficiently acquainted with the irresistible necessity which alone could force us to have recourse to arms. In this legitimate war, undertaken for the defence of the rights of our Em pire, our faithful subjects, incessantly animated by an ardent attachment to the Throne and country, have eagerly offered to us the tribute of their pro perty, to second us with all their efforts, and God has blessed our cause. " Our intrepid warriors have given, both in Eu rope and in Asia, both by sea and land, new proofs of their heroic valour. They have triumphed at once over the obstacles presented by nature, and the desperate resistance of the enemy. Hastening from victory to victory, they have crossed the chain of the Saganlouck mountains. They saw the summit of the Balkan sink before them, and have stopped only at the very gates of Constantinople. For midable only to the enemy in arms they have shown themselves to the peaceable inhabitants full of cle mency, humanity, and mildness. In these days of combat and glory, constantly free from all desire of conquest,we have never ceased to invite the Porte to concur in re-establishing har mony between the two empires. The commanders of our armies, after every victory, hastened, by our order, to offer to it peace and friendship. Never theless, our efforts were always fruitless. It was not till he saw our standards displayed not far from his capital, that the Sultan was at length sensible, from our conduct, that our object was not to over turn his throne, but to obtain the execution . of the treaties. Being then convinced of the purity of our intentions, he held out his hand to receive that peace which had been so often proposed to him. This peace promises to Russia happy and prosperous results. The blood of our warriors is redeemed by numerous advantages. The passage of the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus is henceforward free,and open to the commerce of all the nations of the world. The security of our frontiers, especially on the Asiatic side, is for ever guaranteed by the in. corporation wills the Empire of the fortresses of Anapa, Poti, Akhaltzik, Atakour, and Akhalkalaki. Our preceding treaties with the Porte are confirmed by it, and re-established in all their force. Just in demnities are secured for the expenses of the war, and the individual losses experienced by our subjects. The scourge of the plague which has so often threatened the southern provinces of Russia will, in future, be checked by a double barrier, by means of the establishment of a line of quarantine on the banks of the Danube, agreed to on both sides.— Our solicitude has also been extended to the fate of the nations professing our religion, who are subject to the Ottoman dominion. The ancient pri vileges of the Principalities of Moldavia and Wal lachia have been sanctioned, and their welfare con solidated by new advantages. The rights granted the Servians by the Treaty of Bucharest, and con firmed by the Convention of Akermann, were still suspended in their application. " These stipulations will henceforward be faith fully observed. The political existence of Greece determined by Russia, in concert with the Allied Courts of France and England, has been formally recognized by the Ottoman Porte. " Such ate the fundamental bases of a peace which have happily terminated a sanguinary and obstinate war. " In announcing to all our beloved subjects this happy event, a new gift of the benediction of Heaven bestowed upon Russia, we addressed with them the most ardent thanksgiving to the Almighty, who has deigned, by Isis Divine Decrees, to raise our dear country to such a high degree of glory. May the fruits of this peace be developed and multi plied more and more to the advantage of our be loved subjects, whose welfare will always be the first object of our constant solicitude. " Given at St Petersburg 19th September (Ist Oct.) the year 1829, and the fourth of our reign." (From the Allyemeine Zeitvag of Oct. 14.) VIENNA, OCT. 9.—Aletalliques 101-I. —Bank Shan 1, 1225. Upon the above Manifesto our Paris Cor respondent makes the following observations : " Although this Manifesto is ostensibly addressed to the.subieeks.,?r.." - : - .. -- .7,;.u.5, aitsu w hi. p .esy on foreign Governments that character of moderation, which has uniformly been professed by the Emperor Nicholas, and it would be unfair to deny that it car ries with it all air of perfect consistency, with refer ence to his previous declarations. As long, how ever, as any thing remains to be communicated a variety of speculations are to be expected as to the nature arid object of what till then will be denomi nated the secret and concealed articles of the Treaty. It is maintained for instance by some, that while the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia are gra dually to sink into the bands of Russia, the territory of Servia is destined as a bribe for the neutrality of Austria, in case England should interpose any obstacle to the execution of the Treaty of Adrianople. It is argued, that as no permission is expressly given to the men-of-war of nations not parties to the Treaty to pass the Dar danelles, the passage to armed vessels will in effect be foreclosed; and it is inferred that English merchantmen will not venture to pass without the protection of national convoys, so that by proscrib ing the military marine it is concluded that Russia is thus enabled also to proscribe the mercantile ma rine of other nations. It is at the same time main tained, that in case of war between Russia and Eng land, while the armed vessels of Russia will be at liberty to pass wherever they please, their Mediter ranean squadron will find protection and a safe pas sage in case of need under the cannon of the Dar danelles. But it is clear that the whole hypothesis is founded on assumptions which are not supported by anything which has yet transpired. It may be true, and indeed it is scarcely to be doubted, that the Ottoman Power is tottering to its fall, and is destined to a speedy dissolution ; but there seems to be nothing in the present treaty, so far as yet known, which warrants the conclusion that the Emperor of Russia is seeking any thing but what he has all along professed, and if the Porte must fall, it will be a consequence not of the ambitious projects of Russia, but of its own condition as a barbarous Power, on the verge, if not within the limits, of eivilia..d Europe. The destruction of the Turkish empire is neither interminis a condition of the present treaty, nor to me at least does it even ap pear to have been the object, direct or indirect, of the invading Power; but yet that destruction will probably result from it as the inevitable conse quence of a successful invasion, by withdrawing the curtain which has so long concealed the nakedness acid weakness of this barbarous Power, and throw ing on it a stream of light and intelligence, before which, like a midnight apparition, it will hence forth be unable to stand. In this view of the mat ter it appears to me that one of the conditions of the Treaty, which will prove in the issue most fatal to the permanency of the Ottoman Government, is that which provides for the retreat of its oppressed and discontented subjects to the territories of the principalities, where under all improved system of l aws , and a better administration, they are more likely to find personal safety and protection for their property. It is to be expected, therefore, that the old Janissaries and their adherents, with the Jews and the Christians, who form so large a proportion of the European subjects of the Porte, will gra dually withdraw themselves and their fortunes to Moldavia and Wallachia,and will thus create a double source of weakness to the Porte, by diminishing the number of the wealthiest of its subjects, and at the same time strengthening the principalities them selves, which, by hereafter becoming independent, are destined, I hope, to a better fate than that of becoming border provinces to an overgrown empire like that of Russia. Another source of weakness to the Porte is to be found in that clause of the treaty which provides a separate jurisdiction and a separate system of police for the merchants of Russia who may trade hereafter in the Turkish dominions. In transporting themselves and their merchandize to Constantinople, Scutari, or Bagdad, they are every where to find the laws and the authorities of St. Petersburg!' arid Odessa. This again was, perhaps, a necessary result of the state of barbarism m which the affairs of the Turkish Government have hitherto been administered ; and although the moral influence which will arise from the daily exhibition of a better order of things, may eventually prove destructive to the influence of the Porte, such re sults cannot justly be imputed to any improper in terference on the part of the conqueror. The view which I have been induced to take of this subject is however diametrically at variance with every thing which has yet appeared in the liberal press of this country—so much so indeed, that one of their ablest writers has said, in the Constitutionnel of this morning, that if England submits to a treaty like this, which wounds and humiliates her on all points, she will abdicate at once her prepon derance and her dignity. " The Treaty itself is said to have been in the hands of the French Ministry for the last ten days. How does it happen that the copy 'published in the English papers does not contain the signatures of the Turkish Plenipotentiaries ?" The Prussian State Gazette, of the 14th of October, has been received this morning. It contains a long and Jesuitical article in praise of the exertions of his Prussian MAJESTY and his Ambassador, General MUFFLING, for bringing about a peace between Russia and the PORTE. The visit of the Emperor ALEXANDER to Ber lin, we are now told, was in a great measure oc casioned to interest the KING as a mediator. For our parts, we think very differently of the reasons for the Imperial visit. We rather sus pect that the mission of General MUFFLING was concerted for the purpose of serving Russia at Constantinople—there being, of course, no re presentative for that nation there, while the A mbassadors of England and France were con sidered as inimical to the views of Russia, and likely to suggest hints which might prove highly detrimental to the progress of the war. To counterbalance this, the wily NICHOLAS sent the Prussian Ambassador apparently as a neu tral, but really as a Russian Ambassador. And what has been the consequence ? Why, that the Russians have been able to effect more by the awful but confidential advice of the Prus sian Ambasador to the SULTAN, that they had before accomplished by the terror of their vic torious arms. The SULTAN had hitherto borne up under every reverse of fortune, and resisted every entreaty to make a peace which he con sidered dishonourable—till the grave dis interestedness of the neutral Ambassador convinced him that submission, and that instant, was the only means of averting the overthrow of his empire. Ilow far the plot succeeded may be seen by the terms imposed—terms so subver sive of Turkish independence, that the utmost success of the sword could not render it more complete. But the Russians have not yet realised the fruits of their policy, though they have so far exceeded the measure of their moderation. By the way, we may ask the Prussian Negotiator how it is that we have such a long strain of self- ~.... _..~a..1..t:.... ...+,... t 1,.. 0..nnn.... _ r t ...o~.t ference, and not one word as to the nature of the treaty—or of the additional treaties, whose ob noxious stipulations arc intended to rivet the chains of the first ? BERLIN, OCT. 13. The many erroneous statements and opinions which have been spread by the journals respecting the co-opera tion of Prussia in the restoration of peace in the East, now happily effected, induce us to give the following con cise view of the whole course of the affair. From the very commencement of the war between Russia and the Porte, his Majesty the King cherished the conviction that the Emperor of Russia, while he felt the necessity of having recourse to arms, yet persevered in the generous feeling which considered peace as the inva riable object of his efforts, as soon as the conditions laid down in the Russian Manifesto should offer. This con viction could not fail to be strengthened, while the Em peror was at Berlin last summer. In the conversations which the King had with his august son on the affairs of the East, the Emperor declared himself ready to contri bute all in his power to the ending of the war, as far as was in any degree compatible with the indisputable inte rests of his empire, as soon as the Porte should seriously seek yeace, and enter into negociations. • His Majesty was hereby induced, with the entire con currence of the Emperor, to announce to the Porte his conviction so happily confirmed, and to signify this in tention to the other Courts. As things then stood, it ap peared advisable immediately to send a special mission on the part of Prussia to Constantinople. The choice fell on Lieut.-General Muffling, whose rank and personal charac ter, were peculiarly qualified to assure the Sultan of the importance of his mission, and give him confidence in the pacific overtures which he was to make. The sole object of his instructions was to induce the Porte, by positive as assurances, of the unaltered desire of the Emperor of Russia to make peace, to induce it immediately to send plenipotentiariesto the Russian Lead-quarters, to enter into negociations for peace. It was of course entirely beside the purpose of this mission to exercise a direct influence on the transaction, either as negociator or mediator. When General Muffling reached Constantinople, on the 4th August, General Count Diebitsch had meanwhile suc cessfully passed the Balkan, and was advancing without obstacles towards the capital of the Turkish empire. The Porte perceived the danger of its situation, and the pacific overtures so unexpectedly renewed could not but mike a decisive impression. In fact, Gene ral Muffling found himself listened to by the Porte, which had already been advised to the same effect, on the united representations of the Ambassadors of the Great European Powers ; and the energy and decision with which the General urged the Ministers of the Porte, could not, under such circumstances, miss their object.— The Porte sent Plenipotentiaries to the Russian head quarters, who were instructed with respect to the terms of peace, and the indemnities which Russia had to claim, to leave every thing to the generosity of the Emperor.— General Von Muffling sent the Counsellor of Legation, Von Koster, to accompany the Turkish Plenipotentiaries, that he might describe to him the dreadful popular fer mentation in the capital, and the imminent danger to which the Christian inhabitants were thereby exposed; and to induce him provisionally to suspend hostilities. Count Diebitscb, mindful of the principles of his Sove reign, and postponing every other consideration to feelings of humanity, immediately complied with this wish, and as soon as the negociations for peace commenced, all the hostile movements of the Russian army ceased. The object of General Muffling's mission was now at tained ; the business entrusted to him had been honour ably and successfully accomplished, and he prepared to depart. The Sultan, however, being informed of this, de sired to see him before his departure. He received the Prussian General in a private audience at one of his country seats (an honour to which it would be difficult to find a parallel), and formally addressed him through the Reis Effendi, to express in the most solemn manner his 'grati tude for the important service which the King had ren dered him, and he several times interrupted the Reis Effendi, in order to confirm, by remarks of his own, what he had said at this audience, at which not even the Drago man of the Porte was present, but only the interpreter of ' the Prussian Legation ; the strict etiquette usual on such occasions was wholly laid aside. General Von Muffling left Constantinople on the sth September. Meantime the negociations at the Russian head-quarters were so far advanced, that no difficulty re mained except on the article relative to the indemnities. The Turkish Plenipotentiaries, though fully empowered by their instructions on this head, desired to wait for farther orders. The Russian General-in-Chief granted them a delay of five days from the Bth September, but , at the saute time caused h m Otis vanguard to make some mote ments, in case the delay granted should expire without ef fect, and he should be obliged to renew hostilities. In the consternation which this measure again spread in the capital, the Porte saw the extreme danger of its situa tion. The Reis Effendi invited the Ambassadors of Eng land and France, and the Prussian Ambassador, M. Von Royer• to a conference, in order to obtain their advice in this extremity. They could do no otherwise than unani mously to advise the speedy signature of the peace, as the only means to hinder the overthrow of the Empire. The Ministers of the Porte themselves recognised this necessity, and ardently wished that one of the three Ambassadors pre sent would repair to the Russian head-quarters, and testify the readiness of the Porte to accede to any conditions of peace, and only to prevent meantime the advance of a victorious army to the capital. The Ambassadors de clined this because they were not authorised to act as me diators. But the Turkish Ministers, seconded by the Am bassadors of England and France, urged the Prussian Am bassador to undertake this mission, and thus to complete the work began by General Von Muffling. M. Von Royer, however, felt himself equally obliged to decline this request, as the object of Prussia and the obligation which it had taken on itself were, in fact, fulfilled as soon as nego ciations for peace were begun. But urged by the increas ing danger, the Sultan himself caused N. Von Royer, in particular, to be requested in writing, to under take the desired journey to the Russian heal-quarters, and that Minister thought it was the more incum bent on him to comply, as the two Ambassadors again united their request with that of the Porte. Accordingly he immediately embarked for Rodosto, and proceeding from that place on horseback, reached Adrianople on the I lth in the evening. The Russian General received him with politeness and frankness. In the confidence that, in con formity with the new assurances, the Turkish Plenipo tentiaries would give up their objections and conclude peace, he again suspended the movements of his army. M. Von Royer having again impressed on the Turkish Plenipotentiaries the necessity of doing every thing in their power, and conformably to the will of their Sovereign, submitting to the will of the Emperor, they at length de sisted from their opposition, and the peace between Russia and the Porte was signed on the 14th. This was the course of this affair, the happy result of which allows us to consider a number of apprehensions, connected with the long and sanguinary differences in the East, as removed in all their essential points. Dutch Papers to the 17th, St. Petersburgh.', to the 20th, and Hamburg to the 13th October, have been received, but they contain no particu lar news.
