not deny without compromising himself, but protesting that he was not the murderer of Ann Maria, a ttributing her death to Madelaine, who was jealous of her. With the, most perfidious skill he combined, and put in the strongest light, all those circumstances which could render this system of justification probable. The examining Judge, unable to reason the prisoner into an acknowledgment of his crime, sought to act upon his imagination. On All Slints' Day, the anniversary of the murder of Ann Maria, at four o'clock in the evening, he entered upon the 88th examination. After en deavouring, during eight consecutive hours, to wring an avowal from the prisoner, by laying be fore him the evident proofs of his guilt, he gave up the attempt as useless. At that moment it struck midnight, when the Judge suddenly un folded a black cloth, containing the skull of Ann Maria. At this sight Reimbauer started from his seat, opened wide his eyes, and smiled, according to his usual custom, and yet drew back three paces, as if retreating from the accusing, looks of the fleshless skull ; but, quickly reco vering his self-possession, he exclaimed, " My conscience is at rest ; that head, if it could speak, would say, Riembauer is my lover, and not my murderer. This is the anniversary of her death." This extraordinary case has been pending for the last four years before the Supreme Criminal Tribunal of Bavaria, and the proceedings on re cord already occupied 42 volumes, when at the moment of one of the Judges.sending in a final report, it was announced to him that the prisoner had changed the nature of his declaration, now asserting that it: was. the widow Fravenkneiht alone who murdered Ann Maria. Upon this a new series of examinations was entered upon. The prisoner at first persisted in this novel de claration ; but at length, on the one hundredth examination, he made an avowal of his guilt. The motive of this avowal, so obstinately with held during four years, was not a little singular. Riembauer stated that he had seen, from his dungeon, a Jew who had committed murder going to the scaffold. He was struck with the serenity and firmness exhibited by the Jew in his last moments, and, on speaking of the circum stance to his gaolers, he learned that it was only after a full confession of his crime that the cul prit, named Lammfromm, had recovered all his tranquillity of mind, and that from that moment he (Riembauer) resolved to declare the whole truth. " Yes," said he, "I am seized with horror. I feel that my health is daily perishing. You are right in advising me to make a full and sincere confession. Before doing so, I recom mend to tile care of Government my innocent children and my last cook-maid (ma derniere cnisiniere.) Catherine told truth —it was I that murdered Ann Maria Eichlaetter." And to prove to the Judge his love of truth, he more over confessed to hire that he had caused the abortion of two of his mistresses, which, he added, he considered no sin, as, according to the ecclesiastical law, in the first months of preg 'lanes' the ileum is deemed not to be possessed of life. He :deo related to the Judge, that wishing to get rid of a man whom he hated, lie had ardently prayed to God to deprive him of life, and that soon after the ;sadividual gave up the ghost ! He also added, that on an inn keeper refusing to lend him a small sum of money, be was seized with the most violent des sire of setting tire to his premises. But what is really singular and curious are the sophisms by which the prisoner sought to justify his crimes. " When Ann Maria (said he) endeavoured to compel me to take her again into spy house, I began to reflect upon the bad consequences ,sueli a step might entail upon my reputation and credit. I recalled to mind the principle of the Jesuit Father . Steller, who, in his work called Ethics Christiana,' declares that it ie allow able to kill another, if there be no other means of saving one's honour or good renown.' I also recollected that other principle of the Jesuits, that the end sanctifies the means, I reflected upon the great evils that the public seansial with which Ann Maria menaced me would cause to the people and to my sacred profession , and said to myself, If a Priest of stch unblemished reputation were found to be a sinner, great would the detriment thew( be to religion ;' therefore, as there were no other means of avoid ing public scandal but by the death Ai' Ann Maria, and that this death tended to produce a laudable result, I do not think I have acted criminally, for my intentions were pure, and ad majorem Dci gloriam." " Moreover," added he, " before hitting Ann Maria, I exhorted her to repent of bee sins, and I gave her absolution. When she bad no longer the strength to support herself, I very eently stretched her on the floor. J merit the consideration of my Judges, because my actions have been always ordered so as to avoid public scandal." This last principle Riembauer seemed to have preached to the young girls whom he wished to seduce. Among other extraordinary opinions avowed by him to the examining Judge, lie stated that he conceived it no crime to be the father of children, even out of marriage ; " for," added he, " it is imitating le Bon _Dieu, and increas ing the number of I)elievers and good citizens." Riembauer, strange - enough to say, never .ne glected to go through a kind of nuptial cere mony with his mistresses, either for the purpose of tranquillising his own couscienee, or for the better securing their fidelity. Clothed in priestly vestments, with tapers lighted, he wont through all the ceremonies of marriage, he him self performing the_ double function of priest - and bridegroom, end concluding the ceremony by placing a ring ors his mistress's finger. The children resulting from. those conneetiona he regularly baptised,. giving them for father and 0 mother names taken at hazard. The Supreme Criminal Tribune' of Bavaria has C ondemned this extraordinary criminal to close confinement in a fortress fur an unlimit4l period. WINCESLAUS, King of Bohemia, showed as great a disposition N cruelty and mad acts as the most ac complished tyrants GI Rome or Himiortan. His cook having, on one occasion, ' wiled his dinner, he had him impaled on the spot, and roasted before his kitchen are.

The poor man wsisted for a lengt4 of time, and at length. urged by reiterated menaces, .o . ently touched the Monarch's neck with the axe. The King immediately arose, made the executioner Itn.eJ in his turn, and with one blow severest his bead from his Hunt ing in a forest one clay he must a numk, whom he intim diately pleioed With his spear, and shouted to his atten dants that he had slain a wild astonished gusrds replied it was not a wild beast, but a monk, he had " You are wrong," replied the King, " for monks belong to the cloisters, and not to woods."

I 17.—The most vigor ous measures are taken het se to repulse the enemy; but the people are discour. ged, and consider the cause of the Sultan as despera.t , e- The negotiations relative ro ,the Greek question have formally lrgun, after the audience of Mr. Go r don. This Ambassador has alre.stly been able -to convince himself that his mission is unavailing 3n this respect, and that his efforts will have no none success than those of his predecessors. The Reis Effendi positively declared on the 14th, that the protocol of the 22d of :March, and tbat of the IRth of April, would never obtain the assent of the Porte; and that no power on earth will be able to make it recognize those stipulations. In a vvord, it rejects, as it did before, the mediation of the 'Powers on this affair, and will not hear of the i ode pendence of Greece. It remains now to be :seen what the Powers will do. It is thought they will recognize Greece if the Porte persists in its refusal. The Sultan would then be obliged to con sent, and it would probably make no objec tion to such a declaration if the new State were limited to the Morea and the Cyclades. Urgent orders have been sent to all the Pachas to hasten a levy en masse, and to send the militia to the army without delay. It is thought that the Sultan is going to join the army. The greatest uneasiness prevails.—Augsburg Gazelle. BUCHAREST, JULY 19.—Evil-minded persons spread a report that the plague rages in the army. The great operations which are undertaken at this moment sufficiently show the contrary. The sana tory state of the country, both on the right and left bank of the Danube, is improved, and the official lists prove that latterly only 16 patients have died out of 400. Most of the great people in this country send their children for education to Paris. At this mo ment the foundation of a high school in this city is in contemplation, and it seems that the plan has been concerted with some French literati. If it be carried into execution, it will be principally owing to the lively interest which is taken in it by an august personage. General Geismar is drawing his forces together, and will soon strike some great blow. The reserves, under the command of Gen. Tolstoy, have reached the banks of the Danube.—Gazelle & Augsburg.

There must Le some mistake in the report, that the Turkish cavalry are going to Silistria, now that it is in possession of the Russians. Widdin is a more likely destination : ST. PETERSBURCH, JULY 29.—The inhabitants of this city were yesterday rejoiced by the happy arrival of their Majesties the Emperor and Empress. Though the weather was not very fine, the whole city was in motion ; all the streets leading to the Kasan cathedral were filled with bril liant equipages, and the square before the cathedral tv:is crowded with spectators, who greeted their Majesties as soon as they were in sight with Vie loudest acclamations. Their Majesties were received at the door of the cathedral by the Metropolitan and all the Clergy, and after prayers a salute of artillery, and the ringing of all the bells, announced the thanksgivings fur the glorious and im port int victory gained by Count Paskewitsch over the Se raskier of Erzeroum on the 2d July. After Divine • Ser vice their Majesties went to their country seat in the island of Yelajin. The trophies, consisting of 91 standards, taken from the enemy, were paraded through the streets yesterday with the usual ceremony, and the city was illuminated in the evening. ODESSA, JULY 22.—The English brig Helen has ar rived in this port in 16 days from Constantinople, n ith a cargo of suzar, coffee, aneother goods. _ _ . JULY 24.—A division of Turkish cavalry has received orders to march ft om Belgrade' towards Silistria. Six thousand men are on their march from Bosnia, to re inforce the army of the Grand Viz;er. The militia are assembling in all quarters, and it seems as if the war were just going to begin in earnest. It is not doubted that the Russians will prevail, but their victory will not be easily bought, for fanaticism and national hatred enhance the activity of all the Mussuhnen. It is said, however, that great uneasiness prevails in the capital, and it is feared that the Sultan may be exposed to personal danger if the enemy should approach the city. In the provinces every thing is tranquil ; and what has been reported in the public journals of tumults, attended with bloodshed and executions, in Servia, is to be ranked with the fables that are daily circulated respecting the affairs of the East. , VIENNA, JULY 31.—Metalliques, 99; Bank Shares, 1135. .

At a late hour this afternoon, we received the following details of the battle gained by General PASKEWITSCII over the Turks in Asia. If the General may be believed, the loss to the Turks must prove very disastrous i❑ its future consequences BERLIN, Auc. B.—The Prussian State Gazette of this date is almost wholly filled by the report sent by Ge neral Paskewitsch to the Emperor of Russia, with the details of the victory over the Seraskier of Erzeroum, who hid 30,000 men under his command, and over Haggi Pacha, who had 20,000 men. This latter corps, whose commander is celebrated throughout Asiatic Turkey, was totally defeated and dispersed. The General having convinced himself that it was im po,sible to attack with any prospect of success the camp of Ilaggi Pacha, either in front or on the reft wing, where it was protected by steep mountains covered with snow, and a deep ravine overgrown with thick wood, resolved to turn the camp, notwithstanding the numerous difficulties and the danger to which he would be exposed with a train of 3,000 wageons, as he would be cut off with his commu nication with Kars, having the Turkish camp only eight wersts from his line of operations, from which he was obliged to go thirty wersts ; besides, he had a march of fifty wersts to make through the worst roads, and to pass two steep ranges of mountains covered with snow and ieteieceted with deep ravines, and all this in the pre senee of an enemy, threatening both the flank and rear; but the absolute necessity of undertaking something against the enemy, left him, as he says, no choice. From the details given by the General, it appears that he had taken every possible precaution which the superior numbers of the enemy rendered necessary. The Turks, he says, fought with incredible boldness.' Their sharpshooters penetrated every moment into the Russian ranks, who were pbliged to repulse them with the bayonet. Nay, they even advanced as far as the battalions drawn up in squares, and only a well-directed fire could oblige them to retreat. By a successful manomvre the Russian General divided the enemy's force, and drove-part to the steep mountains and defiles on the left, and the others to the right. This was on the left win of the Turks, On the right wing the Russians encountered even greater resistance. The General being informed that the Serasker had brought 30,000 men to the assistance of Haggi paella, whose troops were now retiring to the camps, resolved iimne diately to attack the Seraskier, and prevent the junction of the two corps. In this operation he was completely suc cessful. The enemy fled in the greatest disorder, and was pursued 30 wersts, till nine p'elpek in the evening. The whole camp of the Seraskier, all his artillery, ammuni tion, and provisions, fell into the hands of the Russians. Thie attack on the Seraskier was indispensable to future stfccess ; for, if that day bad been suffered to pass over, he would liz,ve joined Flaggi Pacha, and the Russians would have been exposed to the attacks of an poetry ef $O,OOO men on three sides—namely, in the front, rear, and flank. The Seraskier being totally defeated, it was found pos sible to attack Haggi Pacha with some prospect of suc cess, ae the Russian army had occupied a -.valley in the 'enemy's - rear. Still a %marl! of fifteen wersts through a Most difficult country was tp be effected before they could reach the Turkish camp ;,-,-howeyer the Gene ral set out at day-britak v, ith all his troops and artillery, and at nine in the morning occupied the eminences in the rear of llaggi's camp, where the General drew up his men in order of battle, at a distance of three wersts. His posi , tioa wes extremely advantageous, being covered on both sides by impenetrable 441!...5. The Turks leaving all their tents in the camp, to the number of 2,0 p, drew up in or der of battle in an equal advantageous position. A pri soner, taken by the Cossacks; having informed the Rus sian General that the defeat of the Seraskier was not known in Haggi's camp, set him at liberty, and sent him back to inform the Pacha, " The movement by which ! had so rapidly got into the enemy's rear, the sight of our victo rious troops, who had cut off the communication between the Turkish camp and Etzeroum, and the news of the Seraskier's defeat dept iced Haggi niche of every hope, and he sent back the same prisoner to say he was ready to sorreoder with his whole army, I returned for answer, that I should expect his troops to lay down their arms, and come to meet me ; but before nay answer reached him, the Turks had renewed their fire, and I perceived a great confusion on their left wing; on which I led your Majesty's troops, in five columns, against the enemy. The first column rushed upon the enemy's camp, when the enemy, seized with terror, took flight, princi pally towaids the mountains and forests, where our ca valry and infantry could not penetrate. The second co lumn it was that took Haggi Pacha, with all his officers and suite." In summing up the result of these battles, General Pasketvitsch states that the loss of the enemy in killed is at least e,pop. The whole of the remainder of the two corp ,, is dispersed in varigus directions. The enemy did not save a single cannon, all his ammu nition and provisions fell into the hands of the conquorcrs. In Midsehingerd above 1,200 chetwerts of corn, and a large quantity of powder, were found. These memorable battles have completely decided the fate of the Tgrkk); army. Within 24 hours, and after a march of 55 wersts, your Majesty's troops have defeated two numerous armies, commanded by oii;cers of the highest rank, one of whom was made prisoner, taken two camps, one of which was entrenched, the whole artillery, consist ing ,q 1 cannon, all their ammunition and provisions, and 19 stant;oll_, 4F 4 7 .! ! 0ve 1,500 prisoners. The loss on our side is not yet atwi:rai.eiy - i .sceT:tained, because the troops are dispersed in different diredionS ; 44: z,:-;y r?.. t e? h o weyn it does not exued 100 men in killed and ivoundEd..'? The report concludes with a warm enlogium on the Mussul:nen regiments under his command. Dated froth the near the village of ..9:dassan, Ju'y 5, 1829. Advices from Toulon, of the 2d august, an- Pounce th,e, arriyal of the brirof-war Stork, bearing despatches feom the, Trench squadron blockading Algiers. It was reported that the DEY demanded an indemnity of 6,000,0 00 francs, buy th:!t 3,000,0(k) had been offered by the French Commander and refused. If it be really true that the nench have submitted to offer an indemnity at all, we think the Dey of ALGIERS is mire right in treating them with indignity. The majesty of France ought surely to be above such disgraceful humiliation, for the French may depend on it, that while they tolerate the arrogance of the DEY, he will be sure to exercise it. Sincapore Papers, of the 'l2th March, an nounce the arrival on the 11th of the Governor- General of India, Lord W. BENTINCK, in the Enterprize steamer. His Lordship's health was entirely re-established. If we may credit the news from Constantino ple the Turks are as obstinate as ever, being re solved to concede nothing either to friend or foe. But the SULTAN Will find that endurance has its limits as well as pride. Letters from Saragossa of the Ist inst. state that numerous arrests had taken place there, at the command of ihe Count D'ESPAGNE. Col. VILLA, one of the ex-deputies of the Cortes, a man much respected, was among the number. Several executions had taken place at Barcelona. The care of JOHN HALL, which was given a few days since at length in our Police Office Report, came on yesterday for a rehearing, at the Mansion-house, before the LORD MAYOR. The case, as our readers cannot fail to have al teady perceived, is one of considerable hardship, and to which no adequate remedy can be applied, till an alteration, searching and extensive in its character, be made in the Act for Estreating Recognizances, which, as a Morning Contem porary observes, is an Act for the Collection of Fees, and not for the benefit of the public. In the course of discussion on this question, Mr. RICHARDSON observed, that he had enquired, as the LORD MAYOR had di rected him, into the cause of the charge of the two shillings discount which HALL had to pay to a person upon receiving an order for the pay ment of the expenses of prosecuting, and learned that a person named HOARE had received this discount money, a thing not sanctioned at all by the regulations of the Court, and that the She riff's yeomen were the introducers of prosecutors and witnesses to the discounters, with whom they (the yeomen) shared in the profits. These yeomen, instead of attending to their business at times of trial, were usually acting as " touters" to the discounters, and as on some days as many as fifty trials took place, the poundage became considerable. The LORD MAYOR'S reply to this was, " he trusted that a very important re form would take place in his Mayoralty," and, from the proofs we have already had of his Lordship's good sense, firmness, and sagacity, we have not the slightest doubt that such will be the case.

IN Tun MATTER OF JODDRELL, A LUNATIC. The LORD CHANCELLOR had ordered this to stand in the paper to-day. He had seen the Master, and had had a conversation with him upon it. He had informed his Lordship that the inquiry in the matter before him had proceeded to a certain point, nothing was done formally before him, nor had he been pressed for his report; he had not, therefore, made his report, but was ready at any time to do so to the extent to which the proceedings had gone. According to the investigation he had made, his impression was, that it was a fit subject for thorough inquiry; what the result of that would be it was impossible to say. The proper course under these circumstances now to be adopted in the opinion of the Court was, that Master Eaden should proceed with the inquiry, to ascertain whether the money alleged to have been expended, had been beneficially laid out for the lunatic; the investigation to be conducted in the most liberal manner, which would be as well for the comfort of the lunatic as for the credit and honour of the family. EX-PARTE ROMAN, IN THE MATTER OF RAINES, A BANKRUPT. Three or four Counsel on each side were arrayed to proceed with their arguments in this matter, which it was expected would occupy the greater part of the day ; but after Mr. ROSE, for the petitioners, had Li part opened the petition, The LORD CHANcELLoainterrupted him to say, that he found this matter had been not only heard as an appeal, at great length, before Lord Eldon, but that it had then been disposed of by having, on the 19th of August, 1822, been directed to stand over, that the petitioners might have the opportunity of electing whether they 'would take an issue, try an ac tion, or proceed to a reference. Since that period nothing whatever had been done, until now, when the matter was attempted to be forced on as if it bad been an appeal regularly in the paper. Mr. RosE 'endeavoured to persuade the Court to believe that his clients had been ignorant that such an order had been made. Mr. IlottNE contra declared that • the gentlemen had intentionally lain by ever since 1822, for the purpose of taking the chance of the death of some of the witnesses. Two of them had died, and their evidence therefore on a trial could not now be had. It was the duty of the petitioners to have got the order drawn, and acted upon long ago. The Court could only now dismiss the petition with costs. The LORD CHANCELLOR concurred in the last observation, and dismissed the petition accordingly with costs. DUNN V. DUNN-DISCORDANCE OF OPINION. Mr. KNIGHT understood his Lordship had inti mated his intention to give judgment in this case to-morrow. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had-. Mr. KNIGHT then observed that the Solicitor who instructed him, thought, in which he (Mr. K.) agreed, that the Court ought not to be permitted to give its judgment without being first apprised of a fact which had come to his knowledge. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, on the other side, ob jected to any statement whatever, in any way, at this late hour, calculated to affect the mind of the Court. _ _ Mr. KNIGHT felt called upon to make the dis closure. Captain Goldecote, the next friend in one of the suits, had called on his client, and said it was his intention to withdraw from the suit. • The SOLICITOR-GENERAL had never met with any thing so irregular, Mr. KNlGHT—That's a question of opinion. The SOLICITOR-GENERAI.—It is most irregular. The fact is, that Captain Goldecote is my client, and now the Counsel on the other side comes into Court and makes a declaration, on his part, founded on some verbal statement of his client, that I have never heard of. . Mr. KNIGHT—My client and myself concurred in the propriety of giving the Court this information. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL (with warmth.)—lt is most improper. When I have the honour of con ducting a gentleman's case, I expect that lie will only instruct me, until he is pleased to supersede me by regularly employing another; and that the Counsel on the other side is not to come forward just when the Court is about to deliver its judgment, and make a statement, as he says, on the part of my client, likely to damnify my case. Mr. KNIGHT—I stated no reasons. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL—But such a course of proceeding can only prejudice, and can only be meant to injure my case. Mr. KNIGHT—We differ in opinion. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL — TO be sure we do, and because we are on opposite sides. We are employed to differ in opinioi, and that is the rea son why we ought to have a Learned Judge placed over us. Mr. KNIGIti,,Well, this is just what I should do to-morrow in a similar case, and under similar circumstances, had I the opportunity. Thf , SOLICITOR-GENERAL —With all the respect I have for my Learned Friend, I do trust, that we shall not have such a difference of opinion prevailing at this bar on a point so decidedly most irregular; and I do hope that Counsel opposed to me, will not in future come forward with verbal statements from my clients, injurious to the cases I make. Your i.brdship will of course not permit what has now taken place to influence your mind in any way, and I shall with these observations dismiss it from mine. The LORD CITANCELLOW—I shall give judgment exactly us I should have done, had I delivered it on the clay on which this case was argued, but for my - • ,noo own convenience you must permit me to posit — giving my opinion till Saturday. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. EX-PARTE SURRIDGE, IN RE JOYNER. f Mr. SWANSTON said this was a petition of one the bankrupts, who were bank ers a t Itomf(n .d ': Essex, and it prayed, that as their separate. esn': t had paid twenty shillings in th e p oun d, an d the j°lli'le estate fifteen shillings, the Court would order t t assignees to pay over to th em th e allowance,:, which they were entitled, under the 128th •sec t ':',l, 0 1 of the Bankrupt Act. Th e Lea rne d Counsel ~ the only difficulty in the case was that a final dend had not been declared, and h e understood l lit would be contended that other creditors 0 4 1 yet prove debts to an amount that Would 1011. 1 ; the dividends under fifteen shilling in the po un ti t i but even supposing such a circumstance prn b . ,,''' n e e he (Mr. Swanston) felt confident, that 0.'1'4 5 who had already received their dividend of -, e 3 " - could rot be called upon to refund any part, in "ti there should not be enough for debts that might Y. l be proved, that the bankrupts were enti t led to theli, allowance on the dividends already paid. The p e e tion further prayed, that if the Co ur t thought .t i b , e ,;, were not entitled to the - allowance until a final n'`{ dend was paid, that the assignees might be erd er c e i to reserve a sufficient sum out of the estate for su purpose. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said, the petition be dismissed, for a creditor might y e t come in ' l , - prove a debt, that would take th e assets all en: With respect to the other prayer of the petiti°.l there was. nothing before the. Court to induce ln",, to think the assignees would act wrong, and th er' fore it must be dismissed, and that with costs. A notice was stuck up in Court this morinZ that the VICE-CHANCELLOR would not sit after lh ' o'clock on Saturday next, when the Court Adis:O rli for the long vacation. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT., William Augustus Miles came up to be discPub n , on his petition. He described himself as "1 1- g e tleman." The COURT thought that the description did "w ee sufficiently identify the insolvent with his fog° pursuits. aole 4 The Insolvent stated, that he had been eml )l°) o . g ,n the Privy Council Office, and was paid a ccord' , to the quantity he wrote, but not being , regtlinri c Y„ e : i gaged, he bad a delicacy in desc r ibing him no r clerk. He had also been paid in the same maxikee, for decyphering some records in the Record Q"'pa Mr. Commissioner LAW was of opinion t hat i t' descriptions was not sufficiently clear to point ' i d the world that the insolvent was the man' 11 : 1, acted in that capacity, and remanded him tl i l er morrow, when he would take the opinion of al w ' Commissioner on the subject.
