FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. • FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated Aug. 3.) BUCHAREST, JULY 13.—Private letters from Gal len, which require confirmation, say that there has been a battle near Bazardjik, between the Russian vanguard aml'a Turkish corps of the army of Hus sein Pacha, in which the first were defeated. It is added, that in this battle, in which the Russians at tempted to force the position of Bazardjik, the Turks displayed extraordinary courage and perseverance, and baffled the efforts of the Russian columns, which were superior to them ; and that having received reinforcements from Choumla, they were able to act offensively, and killed and wounded great numbers of the Russians. It is singular that the Russian Bul letins, which are drawn up with so much correctness and regard to truth, have not said any thing that can confirm the least part of this news ; and we know by the latest and direct accounts from Karasou, dated the 6tb, that the centre of the army was going to march against Choumla. We mast, therefore, wait for official communications before we give credit to the numerous reports which are circulated. The plague, which appeared to be abating, has increased again with the extreme heat, and the au thorities have been obliged to adopt the most rigor.. ous measures.—Augsbzi•gh Gazette. (From the Messager des Chambres, dated Aug. 2.) PARIS, AUG. I.—(After quoting a few lines from the Times, relative to his Majesty's Speech, the Messager adds)—" We are able, as far at least as France is concerned, to satiefy the Editor of the Times. It is not independently of its allies, but in concert with them, that France has conceived its generous expedition to the Mo rea ; it is the conse quence and execution of the Treaty of the 6th July. The conquest of Athens is no part of the upright in. tentions of the French Cabinet. The object of the expedition is no mystery to the allies of his Most Christian Majesty. As to the occupation of Con antinople by the Russians, we think that if it takes p ace it will be to the Emperor no more than the means of again manifesting the sentiments of mode ration and magnanimity which he has shown under all circumstances." (From the Journal des Debats.) PARIS, AUGUST 2.—While the darkening sky o France threatens our harvests, as in 1816 , peace is departing—now exiled from the East, and perhaps, ere long, banished from .the whole world. The Co lossus of the North is approaching the South. With one step lie reaches the Danube, with another he cr osses the Balkan, and with a third he will be ra vaging both banks of the Propontides. The Otto man empire, attacked in Europe, in Asia, and in Greece, seems ready to fall on all sides. Who can foresee what new States—what unexpected catas trophes—what new political views may not spring from its ruins ? Austria is arming; and it is not known whether she threatens Russia by making a di version—Turkey with a partition—or Italy with a Protectorate. At the same time the storm of revo lution begins to blow in the West. The ustapa lion of a brother, a husband, an uncle, a guardian, who despoils at the same time his ward, his niece, his bride, and his elder brother, has be. gun in Portugal. Ireland is agitated in a terrible manlier ; less like a persecuted sect, than as a vanquished natioe which is preparing to throw off the yoke of the conqueror. The second plague spot of England—its workmen without em ployment—its numberless paupers are preparing for it, a few months hence, fresh torments. It must make great sacrifices to give them bread, or fight battles to keep in subjection people excited by idle ness, hunger, and want. Struck to the heart, Great Britain ceases to offer to the political systems which divide the world a stable point of support ; and in the thousand events which the vicissitudes of the fucure may bring forth, it is possible that France may have to support, without the assistance of her rival, the weight of serious contests. At first one is disposed to murmur at the unequal distributions of Providence. Let us not complain, however. What would have become of us a few months ago, if we had had then, in the midst of our afflictions, to take a part in the affairs of the East ? What would have happened to us if the sun had not ripened our barley and wheat ? A famine, though we hope we are not destined to experience one, would now only be an additional embarrassment —a public evil ; but had it happened last year, in the midst of the public exasperation of the disbanding of the National Guard, it would have led to a convulsion. So true it is, that the security of Constitutions which support the throne, and are the safeguard of the people, 'renders every thing easy. England is labouring under the misery of violent laws, partial liberties, and intestine divisions. With her high civilization, her powerful intelligence, her magnificent institutions, her love of freedom she has not elevated he rself to comprehend that guardian principle which separates religion from the state. the has overlooked, of all liberties, the most moral and the most holy—liberty of conscience. She ha:l disinherited of the right of citizenship a creed pro fessed by the half of the civilized world. Her laws have affixed the badge of slavery upon fidelity of a whole people to the faith of their ancestors, and these laws have treated dogmas as crimes, and dissent from articles of faith as insurrection. She has made a people who ought to be united become two hostile nations; the one serving and suffering, the other free and oppressing. To this state our late Ministers wished to reduce France. There would have been two nations among us, and one would have been persecuted for its attachment to the poli tical principles which are the bases of our laws.— What would the Monarchy have gained by that ? As little as Eng l a nd g ain s. She send s tro ops to Ireland —we send ours to Greece. She disavows Codrington—we give Rigny Maison to support and ena :ilate him. She is conquered in Portugal, cona prom .sl in the Ea st, lowered in the estima t i on of is all the world, and her Chief Captain seems only to have been placed at the head of affairs the better to prove the necessity which obliges the British Go vernment to wait in silence and inactivity the fall of the Ottoman Empire. Our interior situation is like that of no other State; we are not divided into dif ferent and hostile races like Austria, nor into Nobles who posse ss a whole province, and people who have but a stone for a pillow, like Spain—nor into oppressinn sectaries and indigent elasses, like Great Britain ; blood, mann us. ers, T in h tellig . enee, for tunes, are all unifo rm ainon 7 for interminable discords; mid 1) . rofo u n d dissentious. no a i_ are divided have no Even the parties int o which v l onger a motive for hatre d ; for ‘ ' the Royalists do not wish to be slaves, and the Constitutiona trious and wealthy, do not sigh for a narchy. lists, indus- The Representative Monarchy must u nite all hearts.

They do not, however, possess any authentic news from the theatre of war, but the observations of the Journal des Debuts upon the march of events, will be read with interest proportioned to the severity—would we could not add the justice, of its remarks. The Al lgemeine Zeitung of the 29th ult. says that Lord HEYTESBURY still means to ask the Emperor of RussiA respecting the nature of the Guarantee of the Indemnity which Russia requires of the PORTE. We will answer him— Constantinople, and the complete command of the Hellespont—that's all ! VIENNA, JULY 23. His Highness the Prince of Hesse Homburg set out from Lemberg on the 11th, on his mission to the Russian head quarters, by way of kischeneff, Jassy, and Ismael, from which last place be will perform the ,journey on horseback. Lord Heytesbury left this capital on the 14th to proceed to the Emperor of Russia's bead quarters. It is still affirmed that his Lordship is to ask some information of the Russian Cabinet respecting the nature of the guarantee of the indemnity which Russia requires of the Porte. VIENNA, JULY 24.—Metalliques, 93 3-16 ; Bank mares, 1,070. FROM TUT MAINE, JULY 20. It is long since any thing has excited such an unfavour able degree of attention, and so seriously occupied all the Governments of Germany, as the complaint agalnst Hanover presented to the Diet on the part of the Duke of Brunswick, in the affair of the Privy Councillor Schmidt. Every body is impatient for the farther progress of this affair - in the Diet. Will the complaint of Brunswick be discussed in the Diet in the Constitutional form prescribed by the act of tke Confedera tion and that of the Congress of Vienna, or will superior political considerations interfere? This question is now the subject of animated discussions in our higher circles. We hear of a special declaration which the English Charge d'Affaires is to present to the Diet on this subject, and also of an embassy which the two principal Courts of Ger many will shortly send to his Highness the Duke. Mean time the Hanoverian reply to the complaint of Brunswick is expected before the beginning of the approaching vaca tion. It will then appear whether the two Great Powers alluded to will, as it seems to be probable, advise that this affair be carried no further before the Diet. Frankfort Papers of the 29th of July were received this morning, from which we make the Following extracts:— BREMEN, JULY 20. M. Kelkmann, Brazilian Vice-Consul in this city, has given notice that Lieut.-Colonel Schaffer rec e ived orders from superior authority, as far back as the 12th of January this year, not to make any more disbursements on account of the Brazilian treasury for Colonists. With the excep- tion of such persons as were engaged already last year to emigrate to Brazil, but could not reach the place of em barkation till this year, no more Colonists will be forwarded to Brazil till farther orders. Even those emigrants who were engaged last year, and who have not yet left home, are invited to remain there till they receive farther notice from the Brazilian Consul here. The last ship with Colonists, that is those who are already in Bremen, or on the way to that city, will sail in August. THURINGIA, JULY 21 We hear that his Excellency the Minister of State, Von Carlowitz, is to be present on the part of the King of Saxony at the conferences which are to commence on the 15th of next month, at Cassel, between the Governors of those States of the Confederation which belong to the Commercial Union of Central Germany. The more hopes are entertained of their conferences as the principles, which according to the best information the Union has assumed as the basis of its system, evidently shew She intention of making such arrangements with all Commercial States in and out of Germany, as may pro mote as far as possible a reciprocally free intercourse. Liar sic, JULY 22, His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Saxe Weimar arrived here yesterday from St. Petershurgh. M. de FretAch, Minister of State, and M. de Spiegal, Master of the Household, had been here a week, waiting to receive his orders. The Grand Duke goes first to Wilhehnsthal, to visit the Dowager Grand Duchess, where he will find Prince Charles of Hesse Darmstadt, and Prince Bernard o f S a xe Weimar. The Grand Duchess will arrive here in about a week. By the Hind, Captain Itoo,Ens, arrived at Glasgow , Van Diemen's Land Papers to the sth April have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The following Z in g are extracts : We have the un s p eakable satisftct i i i o te n ned of l‘ a i n in n i o s. our readers, that his Majesty's eniig by one stroke of the pen, done that for their colonies which entitles them to our warmest gratitude. The ports of the island of Van Diemen" Land, and of New South Wales, are declared free ports, and placed on the same footing as respects trade and commerce with Gibraltar and Malta, by an order of his Majesty's Council, dated the 16th • July, 1827. The ships of all nations have now unre stricted admission into our harbours on the same footing as the British (those of the United States of North Ame rica excepted), and this latter exception only so long as their Non-intercourse Act .is unrepealed ; which done, we shall havefree commercial intercourse with the whole world. This is indeed glorious intelligence, and will contribute more to the advance of our prosperity, than any other meamtre which could be desired. This it is to have for our Colo nial- Srcretary of State a man of business and of liberality. This event seems to be hailed as the commencement of a liberal and enlightened policy on the part of the Home Go vernment, and will be attended by consequences which it is not easy to calculate : it requires, no very great power Qf intellect to foresee that the British Government wishes to place both her commercial and political operations upon such a firm basis as will support her establishments, con tain her rapidly increasing population, and render her per fectly independent of Europe in the event of a war, which may not be improbable at any very distant period. The growing importance and geographical position of New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land has not es caped the lynx eye of the Government at home.— The Papers then go on to observe, that the privileges of Trial by Jury, and a Constitution perhaps similar to that given to the Cape of Good Hope, are only wanting to con firm and fix the gratitude of these Colonies ; and then re commends them to lay aside all party spirit, little squabbles and animosities, and forgiving injuries whether real or supposed ; to call another public Meeting , a nd draw up a new petition to his Majesty's Government f or these inva luable blessings, which it is firmly expected will be readily attended to by the enlightened Administration. Since the arrival of the despatches of the Beddington, rumour is exceedingly busy, as to a variety of ial pormnt changes about to be made in the subordinate civil establishments of the Colony. Our readers may rely the reports are not wholly without foundation. 100,000 bushels of wheat will serve the Colony for one year, and it is suggested that if the one half of the arable land of the Colony were put under wheat, at the usual average of 20 bushels per acre, it would, even at the low rate of five shillings per bushel, produce, on the fairly suppoied quan tity of 600,000 bushels, 125,000/. As the means of pay.. ing for their imposts, independent of other grain, wool, wood, and other valuable productions, this calculation seems to he reasonable, as we observe that, at M‘Kiml,lay's farm, the produce has been 25 bushels per acre, notwith standing the dry season. It is reported in well-informed circles, that a promotion in the Peerage is likely to take place very shortly. The Marquis ,of HERTFORD, and the Marquis of STAFFORD are to be elevated to the dignity of Dukes. Sir \Vii. CURTIS is to be created a Peer. Mr. LLOYD, of the firm of LLOYD, JONES, and Co. Bankers, is also to be created a Peer—and it is said, that Mr. J. DALY, the Member for the County of Galway, is to be created an Irish Peer, with some others who are not spoken of so positively. An Address has been published by the Grand Convention of Ocano to the people of Colom bia, in a style of bombastic eloquence, embody ing much truth, but we have not room for it to-day. The following is from Portugal : ORENSE, JULY 24. This town is completely crowded with persons that have sought refuge from Portugal, consisting of merchants, Coimbra students (volunteers), and soldiers, all of whom experience the greatest want of comfort, and are very ill treated ; they are not allowed to go to any sea-port, but have the choice of being sent to Lngo or returning to Chaves. About twenty of the soldiers have preferred the latter; in either case they are accompanied by a military escort. OPORTO, AMY .19. All is quiet here, as far as regards the.public peace, but great apprebensions are entertained from the seizure and confiscation of property continually taking place ; not even such as Las been shipped in British vessels is considered safe. So much has lately been said, and said truly, about the impurity of the Thames water, that public attention has naturally been directed to every plan which has been submitted to inspec tion for a correction of the evil, so far as human ingesiuity can apply a corrective. At the same time, the public felt what they have too often experienced in other proposed specifics, that those plans which ostensibly held out the greatest temptations were not in reality the best. Indeed, so much were we impressed with this truth, that we treated all the plans suggested for the purifica tion of the Thames water as mere moonshine, on the principle that what is inherently corrupt cannot be rendered pure by any scientific process. Act ing upon this impression we laughed at the 'wonders, advertised by Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, to be performed by his iqfallible filter, and told him that he might " puff" himself (puff is the usual expression) as much as he pleased, but that we were proof against the mysterious agency of his Water Nymphs, whose corrective purity we had no ambition to put to the test. " Then I challenge you to be candid," was the reply, " try the effect of my filtering ap paratus, and just speak of it as you find it,—if you disapprove, I charge you no thing—if you approve, I expect you will pay ; just have the candour to try, that's all I want." The proposition was so fair that we accepted it, and accordingly next day two Frenchmen (Mr. GEORGE ROBINS is quite a liberal !) called and fitted up a filter in the wrong cistern ! This we considered lucky, as getting a filter for nothing, as workmen can never have the assurance to charge for their own mistakes. However, the mistake was corrected, and for the last two months the filtering apparatus has been daily doing its dirty work, with a purity which we now almost regret, for we-shall have to pay. To be serious, we have fairly put the merits of the filtering machine to the test, and we can freely declare that the purity of the water is unrivalled by any thing we have hitherto seen of Father Thames, and our gratification at the circumstance has been as pure as unexpected. But in the midst of our' admiration a question presented itself—what be- - comes of the filth ? To this we are now en abled to give the following answer : The prices will be regulated by the dimensions of Cis terns, from three, and seldom exceeding six guineas ; and as the Filter will require occasional inspection and cleans ing, the proprietors have been induced (in order that families may know the utmost extent of expense) to un dertake to keep the apparatus in order during the continu ance of their patent.for the annual sum of One Guinea. In addition to all these wonderful properties of the apparatus, we are informed that it will actually make salt water fresh ! but as we have had no means of putting this assertion to tl►e test,. we abstain from saying any thing about it upon our own experience. Indeed, while we are so near fresh water we have no ambition to try. Mr. GEORGE ROBINS may go to sea with his filter for that purpose, where we have no doubt he will find it eminently useful.

The departure of the great capitalist for the continent seems to be attended with nearly a stag nation of business on the Steck Exchange, and there is all the appearance, unless some occurrence should take place of political importance, that no further transactions beyond mediocrity will signalize the present account—it is right to state, however, that the report which exists that the Chancery pur chases are by no means closed, may seem an excep- tion ; at present the Jobbers are borrowers of stock, and Consols, which opened at 86.1 excepting for a moment when the current price was 87, and a Broker, deemed rather a fortunate operator, appearing as a seller effected some sales at 86k, they are now nearly at the first price ; the Commissioners gave 87.

His Majesty's ship Leveret has arrived from Oporto, sailed on the 23d ult., at which period the English vessels, formerly mentioned, were still de tained: the work of confiscation and proscription still continued in that unhappy town, and the must trifling suspicion of having even an opinion contrary to that of the absolute faction, was quite sufficient to entitle the parties to imprisonment and persecution by the wretches who at present administer the paternal Government of Don Miguel.

BOW-STREET. - - John Pollet, the unfortunate veteran who applied yes terday for advice and relief, and was referred by Sir R. BIRNIE to the War Office for a pass, which he promised to fill up, in order to enable Pollet to reach Manchester, appeared again this morning. He stated that he had ap plied at the War Office, and had been there informed that the clerk haviag the care of the passes was out of town, and would not return for a month. The MAGISTRATES regretted the circumstance, and enquired what sum would enable hint to reach Sir R. Peel's (near Manchester). The soldier answered that with economy a pound would suffice. Some gentlemen immediately subscribed six shillings, and Sir Richard added fourteen more from his box, which being subscribed by humane persons for the benefit of the unfortunate, could never have been better applied. The veteran, struck with the unexpected amelioration of his long-endured miseries, received it without speaking; but his embarrassment spoke his feelings more eloquently than " a world of words.'• By an error of punctuation, we regret to be informed that many people have been led to suppose that Sir CLAUDE Scores property was to be sold. The para graph stood thus :—" LARGE ESTATE, CONTIGUOUS TO LYTCHET MINSTER.—.The beautiful Seat of Sir CLAUDE ScoTT, Bart., is, we perceive, coming to the hammer. The Farm Buildings upon the Property, including the Gothic Residence, are said to have cost the worthy Proprietor 10,0001.

We can assure the Ho nourable Baronet that the mistake was entirely unin tentional, and we hope that he may long live to enjoy his beautiful property. No respite has yet arrived for BucKLAND, who is laying in Aylesbury gaol under sentence of death for maliciously cutting his wife. Should he not be reprieved, his execution, it is expected, will take:place next Friday. —Bucks Gazette. WATERSPOUT.—On Monday the 21 st inst., a waterspout f e ll among th e b ra es of Glenmorriston and Strathglass, awl in a few minutes the river Morriston rose about seven feet, and spreading over the adjoining fields, caused considerable damage to the crops on each side. The D , 'avoell, a small stream in Stratliglass, was also swollen to such an ex t en t, th a t it came d o wn rapidly five feet high, presenting an appearance, as the country people say, exactly like bags of woo l. I n it s progress, it carried away a small bridge, and materially injured the crops, on the farm of Guisachan. At the distance of twenty-six miles from the spot, the river Beauly was discoloured for above two days, and the fish were seen swimming at the top,•in consequence, we suppose, of the violence and impurity of the stream. Livernos Courier. LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. FRANKLAND V. FRANKLAND. Mr. PHILLIMORE applied for an order to confirm the Master's report approving of a settlement. , This was the case of a marriage of a ward. By the will of the young lady's father she had a vested in terest of a fourth of his personal estate, and in case of a brother and sister she had, dying before they at tained the age of twenty-one, or without issue, to the whole of it. They died under circumstances that entitled her to the whole, and her fortune now amounted to 70,0001. By the will, too, she was to have at her marriage 1,000/. as an outfit. The petition consequently new also prayed for an order directing so much of the funds in Court as would produce the 1,000/. to be sold out, and the produce paid to her. The husband's fortune was from 4to 5,000/. The Court approved of the settlement, and made the order as prayed. A few other things, of no interest, were men tioned, and the Court proceeded upon the petition papers. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. In consequence of the absence of the leading Counsel, who were engaged before the Lord Chan cellor, no business of any importance could be brought on in this Court during the:greater part of the day. His HONOUR, in the first instance, went through the cause petitions' paper, and it happened, with only a few exceptions, that the Counsel, either for the petitioners or the respondents, were absent. The bankrupt petition paper was then proceeded with, but the same cause prevented his Honour from disposing of any petitions, except those which were of course. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. Joseph Wright, whose case had been formerly before the Court, was again brought up this morn ing, to be re-heard upon his petition to be discharged. Upon the former hearing, he had been opposed upoa the ground of having, by his vexatious proceedings, in defending an action, brought against him, put 'his plaintiff to an expense of 351. The Commissioner now said, that he thought the case had been made out against the prisoner, but that he thought it would be unnecessary to call him up for judgment upon that ground, as it might have been the act of his attorney, and not his own. Mr. HEATH now took another ground of opposi tion. The petitioner, through the medium of his attorney, made a deed of trust of his property to be sold, and the proceeds to be given to certain trus tees for the benefit of his creditors. The deed, however, did not give the proceeds to the trustees in the first instance, for it appeared that the first trust was to pay Mr. Tuxwell's (the attorney) bill and the expences of the assignment, and the residue too for the benefit of the creditors. The COMMISSIONER said that this was clearly a fraudulent preference, but still it might have been, and most probably was, the act of the attorney. Mr. HEATH then said, that 170/. was realized. and of this 140/. was paid into the Lincoln Bank for the use of the creditors, 30/. having been de tained by Mr. Tuxwell. It was therefore but fair to presume that Mr. Tuxwell had detained enough to cover all expellees, and that 140/. was the minimum for the use of the creditors. After the money was paid in, however, 444 was drawn out again for other expenses; and upon looking at Mr. Tuxwell's bill, it was not a little remarkable that the very first item should be 13/. for the expense of defending the very action which the Court had already decided to be vexatious. Now it was too much to say that the creditors should pay Mr. Tuxwell this mo ney, for having put them to an expense besides of 351. He hoped the Court would not let the peti tioner go until, at all events, the sum of 140/. was replaced in the bank, for the use of the creditors.— The Court had no power over Tuxwell, and, there fore, unless the petitioner was detained, there could be little chance that the money would be replaced. Mr. COOKE, for the insolvent, said, that it was not Mr. Tuxwell who was before the Court ; and he hoped, therefore, that the Court would not visit the conduct of Mr. Tuxwell, who had certainly no right to take money out of Court, upon the in solvent. _ _ ---- ----- The COMMISSIONER said, upon looking over Mr. Tuxwell's bill, that he observed the sum of 3/. charged for having asked a Mr. Retgard to become trustee, and taking his refusal. It was clear that the 1401. was paid into the bank as the minimum for the creditors, Mr. Tuxwell conceiving that 301. would be sufficient to cover his own expenses and those of the auctioneeer ; but now, when it was said that the whole sum should be paid into Court,the pre sent experiment was made to see if a little more plunder could not be got out of the property. The bill made out by Mr. Tuxwell could not be allowed; but as it appeared that the insolvent had been in some measure imposed on, he would not visit the matter upon him further than by ordering his discharge upon the repayment of the 441. With this arrangement the insol vent was remanded. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) HAY MARKEFS-(At ST. JA per Load of 36 Trusses ) NEWS. s. £.B.

Solicitor, and PATRICK SKERRETT, Esq. of Eyrecourt, the former gentleman attended by Jorm KELLY, of Liskelly, Esq. and the latter by JOHN BURKE, Esq. The parties having exchanged shots hap pily without effect, Mr. RIDCE was preparing to fire a second time, when some gentlemen present interposed, and the affair terminated, Mr. S. accompanied by his friend, having come up to Mr. limit at his post and apologised. The transaction, we understand, originated in consequence of Mr. RIDGE, in the discharge of his pro fessional duty, having found it necessary to ask a witness in a Court of . Justice, a question which Mr. SKERRETT conceived reflected on the character of his father, who was the traverser in the cause in which Colonel 111‘19gamorr was the prosecutor,-.-Dublin Evening Post. ASSIZES.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) BURY ST. EDMUND'S, Aim 4. This morning, at 12 o'clock, Chief Baron Alexander took his seat on the Bench for the purpose of proceeding with the criminal business. Long before ke entered the Court it was crowded to suffocation by per Sons anxious to hear the charge—it being understood that allusion would be made to the case of Corder in the 'Learned Baron's address to the grand juries : we mention juries, for by a pe culiar jurisdiction in this county, two juries are impan nelled at each general gaol delivery —one for the liberty and borough of Bury St. Edmund's, and the other for the county at large—to each of which are allotted the investi gation of such offences as may have occurred in their pe culiar districts. Sir Wm. Rowley is Foreman of the grand jury for the borough and liberty, and the Right lion. Joshua Lord Hnntingfield, for the county. On the Juries being empanelled, the learned JUDQK ad dressed them briefly, but took no notice whatever of the ease which had brought so many persons together. The Grand Juries then retired to their respective jury rooms to investigate the several bills to be laid before them, and several being sent down as found, business was pro ceeded with. MANSLAUGHTER • William Baxter, aged 20 years, was indicted under the inquisition of J. Wood, Gent., Coroner for the liberty of St. Etheldred,*for having killed and slain Frances Leech, in the parish of Grundisburg, on the 6th day of June last. Mr. PRENDEROAST stated the case for the prosecution, and Mr. PALMER appeared for the defence. Robert Brown is an innkeeper at Grundisburg, and saW the prisoner and the deceased on the 6th of June; they ap peared to be going to fight, and proceeded for that purpose to a field opposite to his house; witness prevented theror and they then adjourned to the parish of Burgh. They were also prevented from fighting there, and returned to Grundisburg, where they commenced the battle ; he was present, and saw the fight,_ which continued for an hour and 33 minutes. He did not see it throughout, but save the people picking up the deceased, who appeared. to be quite insens►ble. Witness saw the prisoner on the ensuing day, and told him that Leech was dead. William Steggell, a surgeon, visited the deceased on the 6th of June ; subsequently opened his body, which wes in a healthy state; he also opened his head, and found I quantity of extravasated blood on the brain; this might arise from other causes besides external violence. The Jury consulted for a few moments, and then re turned a verdict of " Not Guilty." James Wright was indicted for having stolen a brag; kettle from the dwelling-house of Peter Beards, of Stoke-bp Nayland, on the 27th of April last.—Acquitted. Lionel Lee was charged with having, on the night of the 19th of Dlay or the morning of the 20th, broken into and robbed the dwelling-house of Thomas Hammond, of Tanning - ton, and stolen therefrom notes and cash to the amount of .50/. Samuel Cooper, a constable, apprehended the prisons' on the 20th of May, and asked him if he had heard MP Hammond bad been robbed ? and he repliell, that, he 11 34 not. fie then asked him if he bad any money about hiss, and he said that he had, and that it was his own. immediately pulled out his purse, and he (witness) asked the prisoner to let him look at it. The prisoner consents" and he took possession of it. The purse, is the same h i then produced. He brought him before a 'Magistrate' where the prosecutor saw him, and prisoner then said hoped he would be favourable to him. Groom, another constable, produced the notes, the nut' hers of which he compared with those entered in tY banker's book, and found them to correspond. The pit' soner, without any solicitation, told him that he lie" broken through the wall of the prosecutor's house with! stick, put in his hand, opened the bureau, and took 0' the pocket book, The prisoner having called one witness to character, j The CHIEF BARON went through the evidence, 0 , the Jury, after a few minutes' consideration, brought in verdict of Guilty, and sentenced of Death was recorded' i About one o'clock a rumou r w as ver y prevalent 0 . 13 , Corder had attempted to commit suicide, but upon eng o2 % it was found to be groundless, and must have originated the supposition that he feared to meet his trial. I n plO l of contemplating self-destruction, he was actively engsr,, in preparing his defence, and for that purpose was yesW o day supplied with a blank book iby the Governor, Orridge.

This day (Monday) at twelve o'clock, the utmost poi . ment of criminal law w a s put int o e x ecu ti on U pon she I , )° , dies of the murderers convicted on F r id ay an d Satur°s' last here, of the most atrocious crimes we ever recol lec to have recorded. There are two different cases, which we state hereund er —With respect to the first case, the point is this :-•*" 1 Thomas Elston, who was the son of Ann Harris, was i tj dieted at a former Assizes for sheep-stealing ; and in orde to prevent his being convicted, it was necessary to P' James Harrison, the principal witness, out of the wa: This occurred so far back as July 1527.

It must here be observed, that the whole + the parties were members of one of the most despoil gangs that ever infested any county—were guilty of slur every description of crime, and were in common leap' carry the most villainous projects into execution. L had the Magistrates known of the existence of such a g' and soon would they have brought the offenders to jus could they but have found out their secret haunts the police of the county, even, could not ascertain thrill The purpose was effected in the most complete man The unlucky Harrison was enticed out upon a preten stealing bacon, and while lying down by the side of a rick with one of the prisoners until the proper time rrived for committing the robbery, another of the prisoa l namely, John Cox, threw a rope over his head with an" on it, and by main force they strangled their unhappy tim. They had only one object in view, which did appear en the trial, but which has come out by tl own confession ; they say it was not to save Elston they did it, because they knew that he would be ° J , transported, but they knew perfectly well that " Harrison was a turn-coat, and they were afraid he oi peach about some things that would scrag them all.", After the conviction , the prisoners were conveyed 1 to the gaol, and Mr. Griffiths the Qevernor, with i usual humanity and feeling, used every exertion, urged every topic to convince the convicts of the o''i and inevitable state in which they stood. Robert who had stood at a distance to keep guard, thought' because he had not actually assisted in etranglint.' man, therefore he did not deserve his fate, and his pall ment was too severe. Mr. Griffiths remonstratri , j l him, and pointed out to him the fallacy of his aon7 and, after a mild and calm remonstrance of consider i l en gth, the unhappy wretch was convinced of the e` code of his sentence, and turned his thoughts to pray?
