THE CONFESSION OF A MURDERER. About ten years age), Brockway, a waggoner, whi' e passing on the Wilton road, was attacked by five persons, named Foyle, Jennings, Cable, Evres, and Hunt. The three first and the last w ere identified by a boy as the parties who dragged him out of the waggon and robbed him. Eyers absconded, but was subsequently appre hended, and after a short confinement liberated. The others were sentenced to transportation, and hnr since r eturned.

The following additional particulars have sitlce been elicited respecting the shocking murder near Snydal, an account of which we gave in our columns last week : It appears that Longthorne had been a post boy, at Barmby-moor inn, near Pocklington, for five years, and ha.l left his situation three weeks ago. He left his father's house, who lives in the neighbourhood of PoclZlington, on Tuesday week, in search of another place. On Thursday week, on his road from Leede to Wakefield, he met with Mosey, and they walked together to Wakefield. Mossy finding he was going to remain the night th ere , recommen d e d him to a lodging-house, six doors from his mother's house. Mosey got up early on Friday morning, and told his mother he was going to sea ; he called on Longthorne at six o'clock, and agreed .to walk with him on the road ; they were met about two miles from Wakefield by a per son whom the murderer spoke to, and said it was a fine morning; they were afterwards met by 'a miller, who saw them on the road together. On arriving at the stile which adjoins the high road, about four hundred yards from Nnydal, where there is afoot road to Acton and Feather stone, they proceeded down the field, at the bot tom of which there is a beck, about a yard in width, and half a yard in depth—over which there is a large flag—a quantity of willow trees are growing en the bank. It is supposed, on Longthorne stepping on this fl ag , h e was se i ze d by Mosey, who it appears had struck him DU the head with some weapon, as there is a lump on the side of his head, and threw him into the beck. He then got out of the beck, and was making his escape from the murderer ; but the latter, about twenty yards from it, seized hold of his victim again, got him down, took a razor out of his pocket, and cut his throat in a most bar barous manner, within an inch of each ear. He then took from hint the articles mentioned in our last, and dragged him by the feet, face downwards, to the beck side, and threw him in there was a channel of blood from the 'place where lie cut his throat to the beck side It ap pears that at this time he was disturbed .by some children, who were going to school, as the de ceased had on his person a one-pound note, a guates, note, and eight shillings more in silver, which the murderer had not taken. The mur derer then took the road to Acton, leaving the. young man in the beck, apparently lifeless...—. Longthorne, however, managed to' get out of the beck, and made the best of _his way, in: a nearer direction, to Sni-dal, crossing the hedges at the lower end of the fields. When lie shires at the third hedge, which adjoins the back doin of the Cross Keys public-houss, at Snydal, the poor fellow fell down, through loss of blood, and a little girl of the landlord's having occasion to go to the hack door saw him bleeding, and ' went Lack and told her mother. In the meantim( a man, who lives at the house adjoining, came out, and saw him ; he called to him and them got up again, and came to the hedge near to tlu road, but could not speak ; he assisted him ii getting over, and procured him tome pieces of cloth, and wrapped them round his neck, which. was cut in such a dreadful manner, that it %voil. admit of the hand being introduced into the in- Thsv got tint) into the public-house and Dr. tuebanan, of Loscoe, and Mr. Thomp , son, of Pontefract, attended ; and sewed up the would. They got him pen and ink, but he vral. so ext weak; that he could not hold it— they ac - :sr a short time got him a slate and pencil, when lie wrote his name and where he came from, and the above particulars ; he also wrote, that when Mosey had him d own, he had his right hand fast, and in holdin g up his left hand to defend his throat, the two fore-fingers and the thumb were dread fully cut. The place where the mur d er was committed is in a fog field, abut 200 y ar d s from the cart road leading from Snydal to Ac ton, which is about one mile distant, and in the field afijoining there was a man ploughing at the sasse time, who neither saw nor heard any thing of the transaction. Farm houses surround the place in every direction, and two little girls who were in the field adjoining, saw the mur derer walking up the hill towards Acton. The children going to school, saw the young man bleeding at the beck side, were frightened and ran back and said the foot-pad was running after them. The razor case was found immediately after the murder was committed, in the hedge bottom adjoining the beck, on Sunday morning, about half-past ten, in an adjoining field, twenty yards f ro m the place w h ere M osey cut t h e t h roat o f his victim ; it is a black-hafted razor, with a figure of 2 in white metal, let in the middle of t h e h a ft, and had two spots of blood, very fresh, on the blade, and -was spotted with blood on the handle. William Longthorne (the deceased) is not 'eighteen years of age, and is the oldest of eight children—his distracted father was presentfound, Tohiei Sunday morning, when the razor was Coroner's Inquest was held on Tuesday, an d a verdict of Wilful Murder was returned. . It was reported at York, on - Friday, th a t Mosey had been apprehended at Howden ; the rumour, however, turned out to be unfounded. — Mull Packet. The Following is the extract of a letter, dated Oporto, October 16, which was received at Liverpool on Tuesday by the Oporto, from that city--" We are all quiet here, but fear we shall have another row, as it is re ported there is a large party in arms in Tras-es-Montes, in favour of Don Nano. POltrfON iNTlntlCitt•tCt. FRENCH PAPERS. (Prom the Gazette de France, dated Oct. 28.) TRIESTE, OCT. 18.—Lettert froth Otranto saw that Ibrahim Pasha - had ionseated, at the latter end of Sept , to surrender the fortresses which he held to the French troops ( 4 9. It is chiefly owing to. the, exertions of Count GUillem:not t÷:at the Egyptian Commander has resolved to retire voluntarily, and taken upon himself to a o beyond the terms of the Co nventtort of 'Alexandria, and probably to the orders of the Sultan, in thus akin:: up the fortresses of the Morea without blootklied. M. de Ribeempierre seems powerfully to have seconded Count Guilletninot. If these Vatemetitg ide confirmed, the object of the French ETpc:li:i, ! o seems to be attained. It is, thc - efore, presumed, :hat as soon as► the frontiers of Greece are positively freed, the French troops will return to France. It is said that the blockade of the Dardanelles by the Rus , ian fleet has been ordered, and that Admiral Heyden is preparing to Carty it into effect. This measure will do More harm to the sea-ports of Italy than the piracies ►which have just been put down. It is to be hoped that a speedy peace in the East will restore the liberty of corn. merce, which is the life of our sea coast, We begin again ft) do some business with Alexandria. PARIS, OCT. 27,-.=A letter from Toulon contains the following 'statement :—" Orders were received on the >KOth to send to the Morea twenty-five pieces of cannon, to be taken from the arsenal? of Toulon, Perpignan, Toulouse, and Grenoble. " It seems that hopes are entertained of occupying the fortresses of the Morea, which it is intended to fortify. Large quantities of powder will also be sent. " 'The army is in want of provisions--a two pound loaf is sold at 40 sous—the country is with out resources ; and the bad diet, added to the bad climate, has caused an epidemic disease (intermittent fever) in the army, to which many fall victims ; se veral officers of the artillery and engineers are dead. The Gazette de France, Moniteur, and lliessager des Chambres, have no news whatever from the thea tre of Avar, (From the Journal des Debats.) PAM ) Ott. 27.—1 n the spring, a campaign in the summer was hardly thought necessary; now we have autumn, and nothing is spoken of but a cam paign in winter. The present war between Russia and the Porte has falsified too many conjectures not to make us timid in hazarding new ones on the con sequences of one of the most important events which has agitated Europe for 15 years. Some writers, however, are not discouraged by them—prophecies have been refuted. They now place the Russians on the shores of the Bosphorous, with the same con fidence with which they formerly made them cross the Balkan. They only change the road and the date, and do not pass by Shumla, but by the Black Sea. Servia and Bosnia were to make common muse with the invaders. The Pachas of those pro vinces have sent their contingents to Remelia, and not a Christian has taken up arms against the Cres cent. This is of no consequence; and this diver sion; judged to be so careful six months ago, is now found to be useless. The Servians and Bosnians are dispensed with. Four bridges over the Danube were to keep up the communication of the Russians. One alone is in their possession, and the nearest for tress to the passage, with its,garrison, is a source of uneasiness and danger to the Imperial army. Now the Danube is not wanted, or, at least, its mouths are sufficient. In spite of the assistance of a fleet,which has not met a Turkish vessel in the Black Sea, the difficulty of, supplying the army has been great, and has been cruelly felt in the Russian army. Famine has destroyed es msey Russian soldiers as the Mussulman's sword. In the winter. the Black Sea, scarcely navi gable, will not admit of that regularity of supply ne cessary in a country, the inhabitants of which dis appeared, as . if by enchantment, at the first appear ance of the Cossacks. This is of no consequence; the Russians will now do without their. fleet. A r single road, never yet closed against the incursions fit the Spahis, will suffice for all the convoys. The firm ground of the Balkan presented in summer in surmountable obstacles to the passage of artillery; and now, when three months' rain will have ren dered it impassable for foot travellers, the Russian guns are to pass it with ease.and safety. This is an extraordinary way of:acknowledging an error shared try almost all Europe. It is expected that events, ailet; having falsified probable predictions,- will, out 'of revenge, confound the best calculations ? ,Cart.it, however, be now predicted that the war of extermination preparing between Russia and the Porte will next year find all the Powers of Europe in that political optiniisin with . which they have witnessed its commencement ? What, because when it was supposed. that Russia had only to draw on sight on the Sultan; Austria and England kept - heir swords in the scabbar4s—when Russia, awake from its error, shall pour on Turkey men and trea -ure—When the possession of Constantinople will fot be regarded as an indemnity for the expense of the war, is it to be believed that the Duke of Wel ington and Prince Metternich will still play the arts of spectators ? Is resentment at negotiations broken off nothing ? Will there not also be a cam ~sign of Cabinets in the winter, and will it bring aeace in the spring ? No persons are more dis posed than we are to acknowledge that England, f r some time past, has been paralysed in her move ments; but between that and a complete impotence to mingle with events which she cannot rule, there is a great distance. With Ireland and her National Debt, people offer the Cabinet of St. James's, bound hand and foot, to its rivals, and England in 1828 will become what 'Turkey was in 1827. This may be specious, but this delusion may be dissipated with more noise than the other. As for Germany, her features have been modified for some months, and appearances are no longer the same as at the commencement of the Russian cam paign. The probability of Russia demanding as sistance of Prussia has already set several Cabinets in motion. The family connection between the Sovereigns is in opposition to the interest of the two countries. This may prolong, but does not guarantee the union. Let us admit the docility of the Prussian Cabinet; if any limit has been laid down at Vienna to neutrality, it will be reached the instant a Prussian regiment marches for the Danube. We speak not of France. More disinterested than the rest of Europe in the quarrel which is settling on the bor ders of the Eaxiiie - Sea, she may one day find herself obliged to throw into the scale something more weighty than her councils. Hitherto her's has been a noble part. Religiously observing .treaties, she will be in war, as in peace, faithful to her allies, formidable to her enemies. Let us have no alarm on the probable consequence of wants of importance sufficientto ie awakenus have l th a e t a r t u te c n e ti t o o n th o o f g o e u i r llu s s ta io t i e i s s: men ; but which consist in making that which one desires that which one believes. (From the Courrier Francais.) INTRIGUES IN THE LEVANT. h f o ro se ni w B h y o ra are ; not stran gers its indications ._ P A RIS, OCT. 27 . — We have had comm un i cate d to us , the e t u 'o n l I d o e k r v s i ; l o g o d letter b t to political events :—" The intri g ues whic h have been going on in the Levant during the last two months exceed belief. While France was pre pari• ng an expedition to deliver Greece , Sir Arthur Paget was neeociating at the Dardanel les to p lace Greece .. under the yoke of its old masters; holding out the hope to the Porte of an offensive and defensive al liance with England. It was proposed to stop the French at the place of disembarkation, keeping them idle till they would be brought into open war with Turkey, and till the fever had spread itself among the - army. Negociutions were accordingly car ried on through Admiral Codrington with the Pacha of Egypt to induce him to withdraw his troops from the Morea. We are ignorant what passed at the Dardanelles and at Teaedos, between the Envoy of Great Britain and the Turkish Diploma tists, but it is supposed that somethingpositive was stipulated with the Grand Signior: We know, '"' It ii not known that Navarin has been given up to the French. however, what happened at Alexandria. there the most humiliating and most extraordinary conventioss that was ever signed was agreed to. Ibrahim quits as a conqueror the country he has devaatat . ed, carrying away his arms and baggage, and pro visioning the garrisons of the fortresses. They hFve flattered themselves that the troops under Gen. Maison would not suffice to capture these places; in this, perhaps, they are deceived, though our troops may be too few to preserve these places if the Greeks are to be saved. There is Machiavelism on the part of the foreigners and the diplomatists, who have constantly bowed down before Mahmoud, placing him above Frederick, Napoleon, and Peter the Great. It is also remarked, that persons high in military and diplomatic situations do not agree. .They seem to be guided by opposite .motives ; one wished to negociate, by which the Porte (rains time; the other, apposing the expedition, wished that the cannon of Navarin had been the last heard in the waters of the Pelopot►essus. It is now the fashion to say, that the 60,000 martyrs of Chios were legitimately butchered—that the Greeks are wretches fit only tobe slaughtered,and that the Turkish Government is a mo del of excellence. All wish that Gen. Maison should remain inactive, that he may not obtain the high re ward which is to be bestowed on his exertions and valour. Discontent in the mean time is propagating among the Greeks. Every one knows what to think on the subj( et of the Panhellenion and the Plague of Hydra—two means of being absolute. Trickery is now more convenient than to act constitutionally, and the Pacha of Egypt, could he have entertained the idea, might have done as well as another, General Maison has, however, already triumphed over the most serious obstacles, and will soon make himself master of Coron, Motion, &c., and liberate the Pelo ponnesus. Perhaps, however, the expedition will return at the end of a few months, for the winds of intrigue blow from all quarters. If we may believe the reports in circulation, the disasters of the Russians have not been solely caused by the activity of the Turks, though that has been great, but serious dissensions have broken out :among the Russian Generals, and old resentments have been revived. The severity of Nicholas, on his accession, to some of the military, has not been forgotten by their comrades; and a want of unanimity and concord was displayed when the enemy's presence made every exertion necessary to triumph. The discovery made the leaders doubtful; and hesitation and delay oc curred in their operations. 'Some notion was en tertained of recalling the suspected corps, particularly as the suspicions were confirmed by some officers of artillery disappearing, when despatched on service, without their disappearance being accounted for. RUSSIAN WINTER CAMPAIGN. Turkey in Europe has a population of 2,800,000 Mussulmen, and in Asia eleven millions. The Turks in Europe follow no other trade but that of arms; those in Asia have a few agriculturists among them, .ut no merchants or manufacturers. The civilised nations of Europe cannot furnish in peace above 10,000 soldiers for every million of inhabitants; in war, when they double this proportion they make great efforts, which cannot last. France, with 32,00:0,000 of inhabitants, could not support an army of 600,000 for three years, and provide for the wants of agriculture and commerce. Turkey, or the contrary, with 13,000,000 of people, could sup port such an army without sufaring. She is cal culated for war. To try a winter campaign is to ex pose the Russians to multiplied disasters. The ex traordinary levies in Russia cannot complete till spring, with inexperienced soldiers, the skeletons of their regiments. A campaign in winter is above all murderous for an invading army. An enemy who acts on the defensive, and fights for his home, will obtain resources that the invader cannot find. The capture of Varna will hardly change the nature of the Black Sea, which is scarcely navigable in winter. To pretend, therefore, that the fleet cannot only supply the army with provisions, but can fellow, and support its movements along the coast, is to be ignorant of the climate and the seasons, and is to fall into absurdity. The capture of Varna, if followed by that of Silistria, would at most only secure winter quarters.

The commercial letters-from Lisbon, received by the packet, touch very little on political events, but from the tone of most of them it may be collected, that public affairs are held to be by no means in a settled state, and that since the arrival of the young Quisx in England was known, a re-action in her favour was very generally 1. - ..oked for. This opinion is founded upon the state of public feeling, from the continued atrocities of Mauer., and a knowledge of the situation of the interior of the coun try, where large guerilla parties are forming. Some of citese bad collected in such numbers in the neighbourhood f Guimaraes and Viana, that they had defeated all the regular troops sent against them. of all the late measure?. ..1 Micor.L, that which has spread the greatest alarm among the merchants has been the decree for terming a battalion of Royalist Volunteers, composed of individuals of a.l chit ses, from the age of 18 to 45, as it is understood that in order to attach them more strongly to the - cause of the usurper, the .privilege is to be granted to ~11 the individuals to arrest on suspicion, and imprison any persons they think proper to denounce. Every man of property in the country, therefore, was placed by this de cree at the mercy of the lowest vagabonds in it. By the English residents in Lisbon, as might be expected, the an noyance of being subjected to the examination of the armed boats of Ittrauxx. before being allowed to enter the packet, bound to their own country, is much dwelt on. The alternative, however, by which this annoyance was alone to be avoided, viz. the being compelled to have re course to the Captain of a French ship of war for pro tection, was, if possible, still more galling to them. Se veral of the mercantile establishments are preparing to wind up their affairs, and to quit a country where property and life itself are rendered precarious A few days since a wolf issued from a forest in the vicinity of Rotrec, department of the Charente, and at tacked at noon-day two women returning from market, whom he tore in a most dreadful manner. After seriously wounding two other women, he was shot at the moment when he was attacking a sock of sheep. One of the women has since died, and serious apprehensions are enter tained for the recovery of others.—French Paper. A few days ago the Tritium' de Premiere In stance, at Paris, decided that a foreigner who signs in a foreign country a letter of exchange in favour of another fo reigner, is liable to be sued before a French tribunal for the recovery of the amount by a Frenchman, to whom the let ter of exchange may have passed by means of endorsement. The facts upon which this judgment was grounded were as follows :—Mr. Oxitsav, an English gentleman, signed a letter of exchange in England, which, after passing through several hands, came into the possession of M. Daazza, of Paris. Mr. ORMSBY' having arrived in the French capital, M. Derma had him arrested in virtue of a warrant of the Court obtained at his request.— Mr. ORMI , BY appealed against his detention, and the affair was brought before the above tribunal. Mr. ORMSBY'S counsel, after stating that the letter of exchange was given to cover a gambling debt, argued, that accord ing to the terms of the 14th article of the civil code, of which the decree of 1807, which authorizes the provi sional imprisonment of a foreigner, was only a corollary, a foreigner who had signed a bond in his own country, was only amenable to a French tribunal in case he phould have treated with a Frenchman direct, and supported this opi nion upon two recent judgments of the Royal Court. He also argued that the letter of exchange was irregular, as it was without date. The counsel for M. DF.BEZR resin • tamed that there was no irregularity, as the person signing had nothing to do but to pay the letter of exchange when presented. A letter of exchange, he added, was not like an ordinary contract, but from its nature passed fro Th m e i o n nee divi p d r ua so i n si t g o nin an g ot s h u e c r h , andl letter roomf exchange was t w o a a s noer. conse quently bound to whomsoever might happen to be the holder of it when it becarre due. The King's Advocate thought that 111. Dirsesx's claim could not be established os the decree of 1807, or the 14th article of the Civil Code, but upon the Sd article of the law of the 4th Floreal, An. VI. which authorises the tribunals to pronounce arrest against foreigners for all bonds signed by them, which would have rendered them liable to arrest in the places where they were signed. Mr. ORMSBY'S appeal was rejected with Galignanes Messenger. LONDON. THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 30, 1828. MR. SHEIL'S SPEECH. Much observation has been made upon the speech delivered by Mr. SHELL at the Penenden Meeting, and the variances between what that gentleman actually spoke, and what we published in our report of the proceedings. The facts stand thus :—I saw Mr. SHELL for the first time at the meeting, and a few minutes -before he rose to speak, I introduced myself to him, and told him that I was exceedingly anxious to send a report of what he should say to Ireland, in the Second Edition of the SUN Newspaper. I further mentioned to him that it was not my intention to publish the Second Edition in London, as the Morning Papers might consider that an undue advantage was taken of them. I then requested as a fa your to myself, in case he had written anything which he intended to speak, to assist me by letting me have it. Mr. SHELL then said, that of course he should adapt what he should say to the incidents that might arise during the meeting, and that therefore it was unlikely that he should deliver what he had written in the words in which the matter had been composed. In order, however, to facilitate the reporting of his speech, he furnished me, at the meeting itself, with the heads of what it was his intention to say, and at the same time begged that I should alter what he had written according to the variations which he should himself make while speaking. He at the same time said, that he was much more anxious that hisspeech should be read than that it should be heard, and that from the factious feeling of which he saw the evidences at the Meeting, he despaired of ob taining a fair hearing. "My object," he said, "is to forward the cause which may be promoted by the perusal of the arguments I intend to use, al- though my yoke may be lost in this dreadful uproar." I found that Mr. SHELL spoke, in substance, the written matter which he had given me ; and immediately .after the speech had been spoken, I transmitted it by express to London. It did not appear in the first edition of the SUN—the second edition was not published in London, but at great expence, in order to conrey the earliest intelligence, was despatched after the mail to Ire land. The speech, as printed in the SUN, was furnished to the Morning Papers in which it appeared. It is almost unnecessary to add, that the charge brought against Mr. SHEIL, of having sold his speech, is utterly unfounded. When I perceived that the report of Mr. S ElL's speech had crested so much discussion, I applied to him to contradict the allegations which were contained in several Journals ; to which he replied, " You may state the circum stances if you think proper—l will not. lam only anxious that the public should read my ar guments, and am indifferent about imputations in which the merits of the Catholic Question are not involved." EDITOR OF THE SUN. By Brussels Papers to the 30th inst., received this morning, it appears that twenty-two projects had been laid before the Second Chamber of the States General, among which is the Budget. The receipts of last year present an excess of nearly four millions, one million of which is placed at the disposal of his MAJESTY, and three millions are carried to the credit of the year 1828. These Papers and the Ordinary Supplement to the Prussian State Gazette, to the 23d instant, do not contain any further in telligence whatever from the theatre of war. The following are extracts : BERLIN, OCT. 23. The Prusaian State Gazette of this date, and the ordinary Supplement, do not contain any news what ever from 'the theatre of war. VIENNA, OCT. 19. The Austrian Observer of this date gives, from the Journal of Odessa of the llth (received by ex press), the Russian bulletins of Ist October, but nothing whatever of a later date. 16.—The Universal Gazette of Greece of Sept. 3, announces that the President issued a decree on the 29th of August, for the levy of a regi ment of artillery of six battalions, of which two bat talions alieady exist. The privates are to be allowed three months' furlough every year; they are enlisted for four years. Those who enlist voluntarily will enjoy several advantages. It is expected that young sailors of Hydra, Spezzia, and Ipsara, will form the chief part of the corps. ROME, OCT. 11. We learn from Civita Vecchia, that in the night of the 2d inst. two Tripolitan schooners captured the Neapolitan brigantine Victoria, near the Torre Chiaruccia; the Captain arid the crew of twelve men escaped in the long-boat, and have arrived in our port. This vessel came from Marseilles. BRUSSELS, OCT. 27. Twenty-two projects of law have been laid before the Second Chamber of the States• General, among them is the budget. It appears that the receipt of last year presents an excess of nearly four - millions, three millions of which are carried to the credit of the year 1828, and one million noted as placed at his Majesty's disposal. Another of these projects is the decennial budget, amounting at a little more than sixty-eight millions, of which about seven mil lions are for the eipences of manavinent.

ST. PETERSBURGH, OCT. 14. The Journals have no later accounts than the bul letin of Oct. 1. The Allge►:eine Zeitung of the 23d inst. contains an article from Berlin, which states that the situation of the, R . '.iian army is by no means so dangerous ai bad been represented. The SULTA N is said to expect great results from the successful effects of his arms, but he is ranch deceived if he hopes to preserve Greece : BERLIN, OCT. 16. We have lately received circumstantial details from the theatre of war, which make us pretty well acquainted with the state of affairs. The situation► of the Russian army, us appears from them, is not so dangerous as it was lately represented, and though the campaign may perhaps lead to no decisive re sult this year, the Russian army has, however, gained several advantages, which it may improve in the sequel, for the attainment of its great object. It seems that at the beginning sufficient caution was not used, and that it is to be attributed to the firm character of the Emperor Nicholas that nothing worse happened to the Russian arms. In the in terior of the Empire it is understood that great pre parations are making for a new campaign, as it is evident that no concession is to be expected from the Turks, and that the Sultan is inclined to risk the utmost rather than devte from the principles he his once adopted. The departure of the Sultan for the camp at Ramis Tchitlik seems to prove that the Turks intended to Garry on the campaign in the winter, which is not usual with them, and that the Sultan will not return the sword into the scabbard till he has obtained a peace ac cording to his OWTI mind; for it is a custom with the Turks, when a Sultan has once taken the field, that he must not return to Constantinople till he has corn pelled the enemy to make peace. Sultan Mahmoud 11., who has more reason to respect the voice of tke people than his predecessors, will therefore not re turn to the Seraglio.till he can bring peace with him. The answers which the European Ministers continue to receive from the Porte seem to co►,- firm this. The Reis Effendi is said to have de clared very recently, that all endeavours to persuade the Porte that the war with Russia and the inter ference of the Powers in the affairs of Greece are two distinct things, would not be regarded by it; but, on the contrary, the roue was resolved, by disposing of one question (the war with Russia) to make the ether fall to the ground of itself, for which it confidently relied on the sword of its armies. VIRNNA, OCT. 18. The post from Bucharest is not arrived; it is expected to-morrow. It is reported that Prince Kinsky and Count Lebezeltern, who were to have received Queen Maria da Gloria at Genoa, are gone by way of Milan to London. Metalliques, 944 ; Bank Shares, 1077. The following is from the Morning Herald. We arc sure that the respectable Conductor of that Paper must have been imposed upon, or he would never lend his journal to such violent, such untrue, such unjust imputations as th ose contained in this article. To shOw that we feel them not, we publish them without any other hesi tation than that they reflect more upon the Herald than ourselves. As to the threat that the Times and Chronicle will not say anything upon the subject, it • is ridiculous. Why should they speak when there is no cause ? As to the epithets of fraud, &c. it is pitiable to see th em inthe Paper which ou g ht t o k now bder colu e s could a tale unfuld,—but t ‘ m v n of a Jet that pass. Even supposing that Mr. SHIEL was not permitted to speak all that he had intended, but the heads of which he had written out the better to prepare his memory, is it any . .fraud to publish a correct ccpy of a speech interrupted at every se cond sentence by a tumultuous, and, in many instances, hire.) crowd of partizans, who would only hear their masters ? It is idle to quarrel with Mr. SHELL as to the manner in which his speech was reported in the 'art, Times, Advertiser, Herald, and Chronicle —let those who object to the speech answer its • arguments MR. SIIRICS srarett. We have made further inquiries with respect to the speech published in the Sun, Times, Morning Chronicle, Morning Advertiser, and Morning Herald, and we can assure the public that it is a fraud, a most impudent fraud. The thing, as it appears in the papers we have named, was never spoken ; and Mr. Sheil knows it. The Tiffg43, Morning Chronicle,Morning Acivertiser,and Sun tditors know that the speech puhlisheci in o* it- -P $PBl4 sol was never spoken ;—...that, in fact, Mr. Sheil C o * - nr , have spoken it on account of the din and the ela l°o- A That published as Mr. Sheil's speech in the Sufi ' s' io we have no doubt - , composed before Mr. Sheil 've nt ed , the Meeting. Mr: Sheil a tt em pt e d t o speak abo ut ";. 0 He did speak a m id s t y e ll s - and alt i..A 97 i x t of noises for about half an hour, not l onger . Eves o f not been interrupted, he could net ha ve s p o k e n a er t 7; g i, four columns in half an hour. As we have have 1 ) 4)11 . 1 / . 0 we pronounce it, as given in our ow n , an d the paP e ;i, have named, one of the most impudent, bud o p shameless and scandalous frauds that has ever be e° tempted. The Editors of the Times and the O; Chronicle have s.,id nothing, nor will they—neith er . tor will contradict what we have stat e d. This kia l t terary fraud may do in Dublin, where, we underet tP "" common enough, but it will not do in Lyndon. Extracts from the French Papers will be. °- in another column.
