NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JULY 19,--On Sunday arrived his Majesty's ship Owen Glendower, Commodore Christian, from the Cape of Good Hope station having been relieved by the Maidstone, Commodere Skipsey. She sailed from Simon's Ba.y on the 15th of May, and touched at St. Helena i which she left on the 28th of May, leaving there his Majesty's yacht, Herald, Commander Astley, with the late Governor of India and family on board, on his pas to England. The late Governor of the Mauritius, his Excellency the Hon; Sire G: Lowry Cole, G.C.B. and family Were expected at the Caper to assume the reins of Government in June, in his Majesty's ship Tweed, Lord John Chttrthill. New lands, one of the country scats of the late Governor of the Cape, had come to the hammer by order: of the Government ; and great retrenchments. in some of the public departments, especially in the minor situations, had taken pl ace , and his Honour the Deputy-Governor, Lieutenant-General Burke, was pursuing a system of the • strictest, economy. A Constitution of the most satisfactory nature -had been announced to the Colonists. Trial by Jury had been established; Magistrates appointed on the footing of English Magistrate's ; and things generally began to assume a more pleasing aspect. Bank ruptcy had'not been so general In the Colony as was the case for some months previously. Several respectable merchants had felt Cape Town, to locate on the fertile banks of the Kowie River, in pic turesque appearance, to the extent of :Graham's 'Town, equal to the boasted parks- of tinglatal, without any artificial aid to assist nature, aoounding with game and wild packs of hounds that often delight the localities in chase of titer. Gaika, King of the Caffres, had a numerous army. On the frontiers, and remained on the most friendly footing with our troops quartered there, and settlers were constantly inlet., changing civilities with him. The sable:Kieg Chas*, of the country from Port Natal nearly to Delagoa . Bay on Orte Eastern CoaSt of Africa .on the one hand, to Caffre country on the other, had an army about him of fifteen thousand men, freqhentlY Skir mishing in the interior of the country to attack and subdue other tribes, carrying devastation before him ; they are a most powerful and warlike set of Blacks. Our enterprising Countryman, Lieut. Fare. ',sell, R.N., who located among them at Port Natal a few years ago, trafficking with .beads and other trifles for elephants' and hippOpotanius' teeth and gold dust, had been treated with the greatest kind ness and civility-by Chace, who is a consummate tyrant over his own subjects, causing, in some in stances, 50 of them to be put to death in the course of a week. Since the massacre by King Cappel of the Portuguese Governor, faMily, and troops, at these settlements, on the banks of the English River Delagoa Bay, the new Governor IV= Nilo sambique has been treated very friendly, not only by, him, but by Macasama and Samba, and other neigh bouring Kings of the extensive Bay of Delagoa, and the banks 'of the River. It was in this river that his Majesty's ship Andromache anchered in the year 1825. His Majesty's ship Sparrowhawk, Commander POlkinghorne, was at Madagascar; Radama, King of that country, was at his chief city in the island, with a force of about at least twele thousand men, enjoying repose after his Conquest of Banbalooka and the Chiefs of the South and North ends of the Island, Radama, fOr some pecuniary consideration from England, has nearlyabolished the Slave Trade with the coast of Africa aid Ziniabar. The Upton Castle and - Sesostris (hornevisod bound), from Bombay, arrived at Table . Balsibii - tbe Ist of April, and an the 25th 'the Alexander, Adam, from Rio de Janeiro. On the 7th .May arrived the Kerswell, from the DoWns, and the lodra.,. from Syd ney; and on the Bth the Sir Edward Paget- from Calcutta. The Owen Glendower sailed ou Titesday to the Eastward, to be paid off. - - On Thursday night arrived his Majesty's steam- vessel Echo, Lieut. Bullock, from -Lisbon,, which place she left on the .11th instant, having on board Prince- Pigzzatelli Ruff, rho an Charge d'Af, faires, and - Chevalier de Zantiow, the SwediSh Charge d'Affaires, and families. The only Ambas sador left was the -Sardinian, who was merely waiting' for an opportunity to embark. The- Echo bronght despatches from Captain Sartorius, of the Pyramuss: and from our Consulate there. It was. understood that Don - Miguel's coronation :would take plirce , on: , Tuesday. - . A meeting'ofthe British - merchants , was held on board the Pyramus frigate,. Captain Sarto. rius (notice of which wasposted on the ExChange,. and which has caused much excitement), to consider the best means to he adopted for their safety, 'when they decided to remain on' shore, provided' the Bri tish naval- force was still retained at Lisbon. They complained very much- - of the-depression of the : mar, kets and the state of trade, no business havingbeen done for the last three months, nor was -there- the least likelihood ola revival. - Sir J. M. Doyle (now under confinement) had been demanded by-the Com modore (Captain Sartorius), and the answer had been received in- a peremptory refusal. There was no apparent cause- for supposing his life to be in im mediate jeopardy. On account of a very serious 'disturbance at an Opera,-no British _Officer was allowed on shore after sum-set. - There were patrols night and day in the streets, but everything:was-my quiet. The Badger of 10 guns,. Captain:Crowdyswith five of: the Por tuguese Junta,- -and a •eonsiderible.artimber of re fugees, had left there -three siaya , .before the Echo, and may. be hourly. expected. A large double-bank French frigate was entering as the Echo quitted. the . Tagus. The Pyrsuants-,.Galatea, Alligator, Harrier,, Vigilant,-aud Bramble, .whiehswere filled with Por tuguese-refugees,. were lying there. The iVledina had sailed-for the toastotAfrica,.the -day:preceding the departure-of the , Echo. -The-Echo'brought to at one o'clock; her Commander (Lieut. Bullock) started at three withdespatehes,' and arrived at the Admiralty at half-past ten. immediately held. Letters from his Majesty's ship Tyne, dated St. John's, Newfoundland, June 1.1,, state that she would proceed on the :20th for the coast of Labra dor, and there remain until the latter end of Octo ber, previously calling at the several ports and towns on the coast of Newfoundland, by the Governor's order, for the purpose of vaccinating generally, and to allay the apprehension of the small-pox spreading, which had broke, out at St. John's, and committed great ravages. No tidings had been heard of his Majesty's ships Acorn and Contest, up to the date of these letters. My a letter from•an officer on board hts,Majesty's ship Asia, at Corfu, we learn that Sir Edward Codrington received, on the 22d of June, by a me ,. stinger overland,' a letter announcing his recal.

THE LATE SINGULAR CASE OF ADULTERY AND :HAN- SLAUGHTER AT SOUTHAMPTON. &eorge White, aged 32, was . put to the bar, charged with the manslaughter of Thos. Macdonald, at Southamptonoin the -17th . June last. The pri soner, who is a respectable-looking man, conducted himself with great propriety at the ,bar, 'and seemed deeply affected with his unfortunate situation. Mr. MEssING, jun., detailed the facts for the pro secution. Charles Quirk--I am a carpenter, living in South ampton ; on the 17th of June last I was in Lower East-street, near White's. house; that was about balf-past ten at . night. I heard a 'quarrel intermixed with a scuffle' iii White'S house. I was on the other side of the road; I. crossed, and heard a man's voice say, " This is what I suspected a long.time." That was said passionately, in a great state of excitemero: ;- I: heard the same voice say," Now I have caught you in the fact, you rascal." I heard another voice, apparently. a man's, reply twice " It's a lie." I heard . a woman's voce say, " Tom, Tom, get out." A severe scuffle ensued in the house, and the door was opened ; some man; whose clothes were disordered, ran out; he ran as fast as he could down the street ; when he was about three doors from White's house, White came out, and returned for a moment out of my sight, and then came out again almost immediately, and followed the other man down the street; he ran as fast as he pos sibly could; when White came out the second time the man was at the corner of King-street; that is about fifty yards; I followed within a few yards of White till I came near the Carpenters' Arms, in King -street, when, both running so fast, they were out of my sight - for two or three seconds; I followed till I - came to a place in Queen-street; I saw some man holding White in his arms, and I heard White cry ".Murder !" Some Man released White from the arms of the person who was holding him ; White 'theu ran :towards.his own home; as he was released, he said:to the people about him," Come along with me, I found that man with my - wife ;" his mind seemed very disordered at the time; he seemed quite lost; when he Was: running towards his home, some man stopped him, by taking hold of his collar ; at that moment I - saw something in White's hands, but I' could hot tell - what; I went into White's yard, and . saw - .White sitting in his own room ; I then Weht to . a room 'near wherel had first seen White' caught, and there I saw a man sitting in a chair and bleed ing very fast; White's wife was there, and said, "White, you. ought to be ashamed of yourself." I then said, " your wife is here, why don't you let.her go. up stairs ;" he then gave .her a key; she went -up and brotight . , ! . f-apvass bag. White then went away. Cross-examined—l crossed the road, because I heard a hard struggle in White's house. Joshua Short—l am an assistant to Mr. Stacey, the surgeon,.of - Southanyton... I - saw the deceased "bleeding at the mouthi.and in his neck. I endea voured to stop the bleeding, but found it impos sible; he died in about 20 minutes. When White was going baek, I heard him say he had watched for an opportunity. Thomas Barnes—l am a labourer. I live at Southampton. I was at Mrs. Macdonald's house on the 17th June. I saw the deceased come in. I Was at slipper when he ran in. Mr. White came in directly afterwards, and bursting open the door, Struck the deceased under the left ear with a knife. It was like a knife they cut meat with. I did not see any wound or blood at the moment. I caught White round the middle, and got him out by strug gling. I took him out into Queen-street. The prisoner put in a written defence, in which he said it was impossible for him to call any witness, as the only persons present at the commencement of the affair were his wife, himself, and the man whose death he had unfortunately occasioned; but that he could not permit the case top to them for their decision without detailing the facts connected with it. The deceased had been employed in his service, but as circum stances occurred in his family which made him sus• picious that an improper degree of familiarity existed between his wife and the deceased, he dismissed the latter from his house. Still; however, after that dis mission, he had reason to believe that an improper intercourse was carried on, and on the night in ques- tion he stationed himself in an adjoining room, in or der to watch them. He had not been there above ten minutes, looking into the room where his wife was, and where her last child, only ten months old, was sleeping, when the deceased came in. With his feelings most terribly excited, he rushed in, and en deavoured to detain the man ; they struggled toge ther, and the man escaped ; he snatched up a knife, followed in immediate pursuit, and, miserably for himself and for the deceased, overtook and killed him. He was sensible of the rashness and guilt of the net he had committed, but he prayed the Jury to consider the circumstances by which his mind had been acted upon, anti which they could not have known but for the statement he had just made. Mr. William Cator—l am a miller living near Southampton, I have known the prisoner. four or five years. I. always found him a mild , good-tem • pered, and industrious man. Mr. John Peaty--I was a baker in this city.- Before he commenced business he was in my ser vice, and I always found him an honest, quiet, and industrious man: . irose,ph . Sinith, Henry Day, Robert Smith, .and *WePeaty, had known him from six to 16 0b gave him a good character for inoffensive belpvmui, sobriety, and industry. . The Jury instantly returned a verdict---" Guilty of Manslaughter.. Mr. Justice PARK then addressed the prisoner, telling. him that he had been convicted i and properly convicted, of manslaughter. The prisoner had al ready suffered one month's imprisonment, and in consideration of that,. and of the peculiar eircunr stances of this unfortunate case, the sentence of the Court was, that he should now pay a fine of Is. and be discharged. The Court was extremely crowded, and on the announcement of the sentence a general expression of applause was heard. it was, however, immedi. ately checked by the officers. The prisoner bowed respectfully to his Lordship and the Jury, and then retired from the Court, followed by a large body of friends, who offered him their sincere congratulations on the, event. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.-BUCKINGHAM, JULY 18 Joseph Ilialker was indicted for the wilful murder of Ann his wife, by mixing a quantity of arsenic m tea, which she drank, and after languishing six hours died. The prisoner also stood charged, on the Coroner's Inquisition, with the murder of the said Ann Walker, by administering poison to her. He pleaded " Not Guilty" to both indictments. The prisoner appeared about fifty, with a heavy inex pressive countenance. Mr. Sergeant STORKES stated the circumstances. The prisoner had been parish clerk of Oving, in this county, till within a few months of the time when the crime imputed to him was committed, and till within the last year he had conducted himself in the most correct and exemplary manner. About twelve months ago he formed a criminal connection with a fcmalc.named Bagot, and since that period he had treated his wife with great cruelty, and their quarrels had been incessant. On Sunday the Bth of June last, the prisoner and his wife left home about two o'clock in the afternoon; the former to go to church and the latter to a Methodist Meeting. About ten minutes afterwards the prisoner returned home, and afterwards went out again. This fact wa s important to be borne in mind, because it was at that p eriod the prisoner'was believed to have, put poison into a tea-pot, which was commonly used in the afternoon by his wife, when' she took tea. It was also so to be borne in mind, because it woulcl proved that the prisoner had denied that he returned home after he set out to go to church. On that day the v fe of the prisoner was observed to be in better health and spirits than usual. When she returned from meeting, about four o'clock, she " c alled at a ne i g hbour's, and said she would go home and have her tea. She did so, and immediately afterwards she complained of a burning in her throat, and sick ness. 'f he prisoner and a son of his came home soon after the deceased was taken ill, and on the boy taking the pot to drink some of the tea, the pri soner advised him not to drink it. The boy drank a very small quantity of the tea, and he soon became exceedingly ill. The prisoner was a dvised to go for medical aid, and at eight o'clock at night ;he started for Winslow, for a surgeon. In about an hour after the prisoner left his wife died, and the surgeons after wards ascertained that she had died from poison, and they found poison in the tea-pot. Elizabeth Claydon . examined by Mr. MONRo.—I live next door to the prisoner at Oving, in this county, and knew him and his wife for twenty years; they have lived very unhappily siuce he be came connected with a girl named Bagot, and were constantly quarrelling ; I recollect the prisoner's wife dying on the Bth of June ; I saw her and her husband at a neighbour's named Smith a few days before ; the wife asked prisoner to come home, and told him something about poisoning a child; the prisoner said to his wife, " she wished to hang him," and then he kicked her, and told her " he would split her head open with a hoc;" he took up a hoe and attempted to strike his wife, but Ann Young, who was present, prevented him ; I saw the wife of the prisoner at four o'clock in the afternoon of the day she (lied at my house ; she was in good spirits, and appearedbetter than she had been for some time; she remained a few minutes at my house, and said she would go home and take tea, and go again to meeting ; in about tell minutes after she left, I was sent for to the prisoner's house, and found the de ceased very ill; she was sick; the prisoner had not come home ; there was a'tea-pot on the table ; the prisoner's son had just come home, and the prisoner came home soon afterwards; the son drank a little of the tea after the prisoner came home, and the pri soner told him not to drink it, as his mother would be glad of it. It was about half-pa,t four o'clock when the son of the deceased took the tea, and he went out and returned at six o'clock, and he then complained of a burning in his throat, and was very sick ; the son said it was the tea which had made him ill; the prisoner said it could not be the tea, for he had drank a cup and a half himself; I did not see the prisoner drink any tea; the deceased went into the bed-room about half an hour after she became ill. The tea was. on the table in the kitchen. When the prisoner's son became ill he lay on the bed ; the prisoner came into the bed-room, and the son said, in the hearing of the prisoner, " it is the tea that made me ill," and the deceased said, and "so it did me." I took the tea-pot to the door and observed some brown powder in the leaves, and -.flowed it, to the boy, Wm. Walker. John Claydon, the husband of the last witness, stated, that the prisoner and his wife lived happ'ly till the last twelve months. The prisoner had had a child by the girl Bagot, and frequent quarrels had occurred between the prisoner and his wife. Zacelieus Gouthern--I went to Winslow on Sun _ day evening, the Bth of June, for a doctor; I left Oving at twenty minutes past nine, on horseback, and I met the prisoner about a mile from 'Winslow, coming to Oving ; I said, " Joseph, your wife is dead." The prisoner was in great distress, and said, " Oh, what shall Ido ?" I told him, that if he • walked on gently, I would overtake him, and he might ride. I went to Winslow, and on my return towards Oving I overtook the prisoner about three quarters of a mile from the place, and he rode with me on horseback to Oving, where I left him. Robert Thorpe, a constable, said—l had the cus tody of the prisoner when a man named Wm. Nash, was present, and a Coroner's Jury was about to sit on the body of the deceased. Nash is ill from an accident, and cannot attend the trial. The prisoner told Nash, isi my presence, to go to his son William, and tell him not to tell the gentlemen that the tea tasted queer, and caused a burning in his throat, as he knew the gentlemen would try to pump all they could out of him ; and though he knew but little, the boy knew less, and could not keep his council. Mr. John Kellam!, surgeon, went to the prisoner's house on the night of the Bth of June, and saw the prisoner's son, who had taken something that had disordered his stomach and bowels ; the boy was very much alarmed; I received the tea-pot produced, and ascertained that there was arsenic therein ; I saw the wife of the prisoner ; she was dead before I arrived ; I was satisfied that her death was caused by her taking a corrosive poison. James Thomas Brill examined :—I am employed by Mr. Sheriff, the Governor of Aylesbury Gaol, to assist him during the Assizes. I had the prisoner in my custody this morning, in a room below this Court, and I received Mr. Sheriff's orders not to allow him to have communication with any one; there are bars in the room instead of a window, and the prisoner climbed up to the bars to speak to his son and daughter. I tried to pull him down, but could not, he clung so fast to them, and I called a brother officer to assist me. I stood at the door when I first saw the prisoner at the bars, and I heard the son or daughter of the prisoner say to him, the woman has confessed all." I afterwards brought. the prisoner into this Court, and placed him on the dock.. The prisoner was a good deal agitated. The Judge had not arrived at that time. I said to the prisoner where did you get the stuff from ? The prisoner said that he bought sixpenny worth of stuff at a chemist's at Winslow, but whe ther he said it was arsenic or mercury, I can't say the prisoner told me that the woman had persuaded him many times to get . it, and at last he consented. Cross-examined. by Mr. TAI.LOR-This conver sation took place a' few minutes before his Lordship came into Court. I never told the prisoner yester day that Mr. Bull, his attorney, had been and had said" that the woman had s p lit, and his case w as desperate."—Prisoner —Yea you did, yo u did. Witness—lt was a very short time before the prisoner was put upon his trial when I put the ques tions to hint. Mr. Sergeant STORKES said this was the case for the prosecution. . Mr. S. TAYLOR felt it to be his duty to object to the admissibility of the evidence of the last witness. The scene he had just witnessed, he would venture to assert, was unprecedented in the annals of English Jurisptudelice. A prisoner standing in the dock, and about to . take his trial on a charge affecting his life, was tortured into making a confession. He (Mr. Taylor) trusted his Lordship would reject the evidence of the witness altogether. The LORD CHIEF BARON knew of no rule of law that rejected a confession, made at any time, except it was extorted by means of threats or promises. His LORDSHIP called upon the prisoner for his defence. _ Prisoner—l am not guilty; lam innocent of the LONDON. MONDAY EVENING, JULY 21, 1828. DEATH OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY. It is with sincere regret we announce the death of his Grace the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, which melancholy event took place this mor►ing at the Archiepiscopal Palace of Lambeth. His Grace had been for some time seriously ill, in consequence of which he was not able to attend his parliamentary duties ; but we are extremely happy far his own fame that one of the last acts of his Senatorial life was his unqualified assent to the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. It now remains for his successor to fill up the measure of national justice by voting for Catholic Emancipation. His Grace was fourth eon of Lord George Manners, (third son of John, third Duke of Rutland, great uncle of the present Duke,) who assumed, upon inheriting the estates of his maternal grand-father, Robert (Sutton,) Lord Lexington, at the demise of his elder brother, Lord Robert ' Manners-Sutton, (the first inheritor,) without issue, the surname and arms of Sutton. Doctor Manners. Sutton was consecrated Bishop of Norwich, in 1792, and trans lated to the Archiepiscopal See of Canterbury in 1805. The death of his Grace will disconcert the arrangements for adjourning the House of Com- Mons this evening. The SPEAKER is the Archbishop of CANTERBURY'S son, and was this day to have given the customary sessional dinner to the Sergeant, Chaplain, and Clerks of the House. There are three or four Bills to be passed through their last stage, which was fixed for this evening, and it. is usual on events of this melancholy nature taking place, merely to meet and then adjourn. Mr. Secretary PEEL will no doubt make a motion to this effect. His G race enjoyed the high honour of ME TROPOLITAN for upwards of TWENTY-THREE years. PROGRESS OF THE RUSSIAN ARMS. CAPTURE OF ANAPA. We have this morning received very recent news from the Russian army, with a flourishing detail of its operations down to the 3d instant. The Prussian State Gazette, of the 15th inst.— the earliest authentic channel of communication with the seat of war—furnishes us with several in teresting and very important particulars respect ing the progress and success of the Russian army which have hitherto been of a uniform character. It appears that on the 30th of June, the Imperial Army, at the camp of Karassa, was reinforced by fresh troops, a division of cavalry, and twenty-four pieces of horse artillery, which travelled two thousand wersts to share in the in vasion of Turkey. The distance alone conveys a sublime idea of the expansive dominions from which the EMPEROR of Russia draws the sinews of power and ambition. His mandate is obeyed over nearly half the habitable Globe, and thou ' sands of warriors press forward eagerly to obey his absolute behest. The progress of the Russians appears, ac cording to their own accounts, to be uninter rupted—the Turks at no place offering to with stand their advance in the open field. It is, however, expected that at Sehumla the . grand stand will be attempted. The fortress of Anapa surrendered at discre tion on the 23d June. The Turks withstood the siege for 40 days with great valour, and they did not surrender till all their means of resist ance were completely exhausted. By this cap ture the Russians have taken 3,000 men, 85 p i ece s of cannon, besides large quantities of ammunition and provisions. In addition to this important advantage on ' the shores of the Black Sea, the Russians have also taken the fortress of Tulcza, with a garrison of nearly 2,000 men, and 91 cannon on the ramparts. At Brailow, 278 cannon had been taken, besides an immense quantity of powder, and provisions amply sufficient to supply the whole army for a month. The Russians give the following account of the result of their campaign, no doubt as a set off to the imputation of tardiness in their move ments :—The campaign commenced on the 7th May, and up to the Ist July we have occupied Moldavia and Wallachia, passed the Danube at Issaktchi under the fire of the Turks, destroyed their flotilla on that river, advanced on the right bank of that river to the wall of Trajan, taken seven fortresses, namely, Issaktchi, Brailow, Matchin, Hirsowa, Kustendtchi, Anapa, and TulCza, and taken in those places, and in various actions with the enemy, above 800 cannon. The following is a detailed account :---- FROM THE CAMP OF NARASSA, JUNE 30. The Imperial army is reinforced by fresh troops, a divi sion of cavalry (chasseurs) and twenty-four pieces of horse artillery have just arrived. After a march of .2,000 wersts this division is quite complete : it defiled before the Empe ror, who was highly pleased with the fine appearance of the Dien and the beauty of the horses. Our communica tion by sea with Odessa is very frequent, and ships laden with supplies arrive almost daily in the port of Kustendehi. On the other hand, numerous convoys of provisions arrive in divisions in perfect order, and the important object of the supply of the army is fully secured. This morning early the Emperor, who continues to en joy good health, reviewed the corps of General Rudze witsch in order of battle. His Majesty was much pleased with the appearance of the troops, and with' the rapidity and precision with which they executed the manoeuvres. The Grand Duke Michael is expected every hour in the camp. His Imperial Highness will doubt less bring the trophies of Brailow, and the account of the artillery and stores of all kinds which have fal.. len into our hands in that place. The Grand Duke is followed by the 7th corps of the army, which after be seiging Brailow, crosses the Danube at Matschin, and will join the corps of Gen. Rudzewitsch. Our van-guard has occupied on the one side Mangalia, and en the other Kouzgoun, without opposition. The enemy no where stands his ground, and retires hastily as we approach ; the Seraskiers of Schumla and Silistria appear however to have sent some divisions of troops to Bazardschick, who may perhaps be more inclined to wait our arrival. CAMP AT KARASSA, JULY 2. The fortress of Anapa has surrendered at discre tion to Vice-Admiral Greigh and Prince Menziksff. The success of the action of 9th June, had enabled the latter to surround the place with a strong line of circumvallation, which intersected the neck of land on which Anapa is situated, and extended on each side to the sea. In a few days the works were advanced to the glacis, and three breaches having been made on the 22d of June, the Paella was summoned for the last time, to surrender. At first he insisted on leaving the place with arms and baggage, declaring that, unless this 'ere granted, be would defend himself to the utmost. The negociations were broken off, and preparations were making to carry the place by storm, when deputies again came from the Pacha offering to surrender at discretion. On the 23d at noon the fortress was occupied by our troops, but we must do the Turks the justice to say they had bravely defended themselves for forty days, and that when they capitulated all their means of resistance were exhausted. The garrison consists of 3,000 men ; 85 can non, and large quantities of ammunition and pro visions, have fallen into our hands. Vice-Admiral Greigh and Rear-Admiral Prince I\lenzikoff, who directed the siege in the most perfect understanding with each other, and have displayed great ability and bravery, have been promoted by his Majesty, the first to the rank of Admiral, the second to that of Vice-Admiral. Prince Menzikoff is also finally appointed Chief of the General Staff of the Imperial Marine. We have this moment received the news of the surrender of the fortress of Tulcza (or Tultschi), with a garrison of nearly 2,000 men and 91 cannon on the ramparts. At Riailow we found 278 cannon, 17,000 Foods (36 lbs. per pood) of gunpowder, two timber magazines, which will suffice for all the repairs that our artillery may need, an immense quantity of cannon-halls of all sizes, and provi sions amply sufficient to subsist the whole army for a month. - The campaign commenced on the 7th May, and up to the Ist July we have occupied Moldavia and Wallachia, passed the Danube at Issaktchi under the fire of the Turks, destroyed their flotilla on that river, advanced on the right bank of the river to the wall of Trajan, taken seven for tressses, namely, lssaktchi, Brailow, Matchin, Kustendchi, lAnapa, and Tulvia, and taken in those places and in various actions with the enemy above 600 cannon. This evening we shall celebrate Te Dam to return thanks for the manifest protection we have hitherto enjoyed, and to implore the continuance of it. We are happy to announce that the Genet al- Ste am Navigation Corapaßy's packet the Be fast, has safely arrived at Plymouth on.Ftidai, from Oporto, which port she left on the 4th. The Belfast was forced to put into Corunna, to re pair some damage, where she was detained eight days. She brings to England the Marquis de PALMELLA ; Count VILLA FLOR, lady, and brother ; General SALDANHA andlady; Gen. STUBBS and lady ; with all the other passengers who sailed in her from Falmouth on the 16th of June, who have returned from their abortive attempt to succour the Constitutionalists. She also brings many other officers and families of distinction, to the , number altogether of 63 per sons. The Bedfast is expected in London to-morrow. We have received the following letter from a very intelligent Portuguese gentleman, who left Oporto the day after the Belfast : TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. On board the Coriolanus, in the British Channel, July 19, 1828. SIR—On the supposition that no vessel has arrived in England with news from Oporto since the arrival of the Belfast steam-boat, Captain Wittingham, which place she left on the 3d instant, with the greater part of the Portu guese officers she had carried there, I hasten to give you such information as I was able to obtain during the time I was on shipboard in the Douro with many other refugees, almost all English, in order to relieve the minds of the people of England, and my own natives there resident, from the anxiety they will be in for their friends at Oporto. We sailed on the morning of the Mb, in company of the Truelove, Captain Watson, and the Ringdove, but judg ing from the winds we have had, we are likely to be the first to arrive. About eight o'clock in the morning of the 3d, the rebel troops and Guerrillas began to appear in Villa Nova, .which is on the other side of the river, opposite Oporto, but finding the bridge taken away, and every boat out of their reach, they did not effect their entrance into the city till about eleven o'clock. During this time the inhabi tants were seen in great crowds leaving the city, or taking refuge in the ccnvents and churches ; a great many families Hew on board the ships, into which all the English resi dents had gone during the night. Never in my life did I witness such a scene of c onsternation and despair. Al though it had been generally reported the day before that the intention of the Constitutional army was to retreat into Spain, and abandon the town to the mercy or fury of Don Miguel's troops, very little time remained for ,th e people to take refuge, and eve n had time been afforded where could they find it, for the enemy were besieging Item all quarters? However, no sooner had the troops passed over to Oporto than things assumed another appear.. ance ; although they bore on their hats the sign of bloou— a red ribbon—the distin ction of p eace was blended with i t at the same time—the olive-branch. Their commanding offiocc e b e s l s r o orders that the city should be spar e d, n ,gpaaenr.(e property held sacred ; and, in fa c t, n o x perpetrated besides a f e w s li g ht ro bb er i es, excesses I :s ' l: re as ed and here and there a house broken i n f or h av i ng t h e i r s t ree t doors closed against the exp resse d or d ers o f P ovoas. One exception, however, tactho7e''er' was experienced; a Constitutional in the city dressed in w volunteer his uniform, was accosted by a capta i n an d a f ew so ldi ers nela nc!ly el un of cavalry with the words " Quern viva?" he replied, 66 Constituierp ou morte;" then take the last, answered the brutal officer, and with hi s pistol shot him, and left him for some time bleeding in the street. The Guerrillas were the most difficult of being repres sed, and several houses and persons in the streets were robbed ; the country seat of one of the Members of the Junta, nut far from town, was entered and r obbed of every thing portable, and what was not so, entirely destroyed.— Evident were the expressions of the soldiers that their ex pectations of depredation and slaughter were . disappointed ; but thanks to the humane disposition of their leader, Oporto immediately assumed an app earance of quiet and satisfai;tion, and the people began gradually to return to their houses, particularly on finding that the public authorities, who had flown with the C o nstitutional army, were imme diately nominated. The British Consul and a respectable wine -merchant, called on Povoas, in order to know if the subjects of his Britannic Majesty might test assured that no violence would be offered against their persons and pro perty? and obtained an answer from 'Min that as far as re garded the effect of his orders they would be unmolested, but recommended them to remain on the look out. Whatever might have been the motives which induced the Generals, who had come from England, to abandon the cause of liberty in Portugal, it is not for me to dwell upon —they will soon be known, but they were not known even to the people themselves, who were, and even now remain, interested for the blessing which we hope soon or late to enjoy. As far as regards the numerical force of the enemy, it appeared that it was not so great as to leave no hopes of being vanquished if an effort were attempted to do it. We hope and trust in Providence that Portugal will yet acquire the blessing of Constitutional freedom, which all anxiously wait for, and myself, as a Portuguese, pray for. I am, Sir, yours, &c. The Marquis PALMELLA and his compa nions have arrived in town. It is said that SAL. DANIIA intends to publish a " statement of facts" relative to the Oporto business. A French Messenger loft London on Satur day, in great haste, for Paris. So urgent was his mission, that he hired a steam-boat at Dover, and proceeded forthwith for Calais, from which he proceeded with speed. It is supposed that the situation of affairs in the East of Europe is the subject which more particularly engages the attention of our Government and that of France —especially as the Russians are bent upon rein- Forcing their naval forces in the Mediterranean. The sudden return of the LORD HIGH AD- M IRAL from Portsmouth was also connected with this important subject. On the 27th June a French line-of-battle ship, three frigates, and 31 transports, arrived at Cadiz, to take on board the French garrison. The Hamburgh Borsen Salle, of the 15th instant, gives some account of the rejoicings at St. Petersburgh, in honour of the Russian victories : ST. FETERSBURGH, JULY 5. Yesterday Te Donn was performed in the Tunic Palace in presence of the Imperial family, on account of the taking of Kustendschi and Hirsowa.

Ihe Turkish colours taken in the fortresses were paraded through the streets as usual, and carried round the monument of Peter the Great. The Grand Duke and Duchess of Weimar left us to. day. The Empress mother accompanies them to Tchir kowitz the 4th stage. They go by way of Warsaw, where the Grand Duchess will stop some time with her brother the Grand Duke Constantine, while the Grand Duke, her Consort, 'will proceed immediately to Weimar. Our latest Journals give accounts from the Imperial. head-quarters, from the 12th to 25th of June. (These reports are the same we have given in the Borsen Halle, from the camp of Trajan's wall, of 20th June, and from Karassa of the 25th of June, and contain some details beshks those which we have already given.) The plague has broken out in the whole, camp of IBRAIIIM PACHA, who fled for shelter on board a vessel, at Navarin. It is said in a letter, from Corfu, that CAPO D'IsTRIA has had an interview with the Envoys from Constantinople. The French Papers of Friday, and the Ga ette de France of Saturday,. contain little news. Dutch Papers of the 19th instant, received this morning, contain the 'bib:v/jug, from the Banks of the Danube : FROM THE DANUBE, JULY S. All the measures taken by the Russian authorities in the principalities, such as the imposition of heavy military contributions, &c., show that these provinces are considered merely in the light of resources for carrying. on the wars and not ati objects of permanent conquest. It is supposed that Russia will demand the indemnity to be claimed in ready money, and will hold as security the fortresses i° Asia, to which it besides pretends to have well-grounded claims. HAMBURGH, JULY 15. The Russian squadron, from Cronstadt, was seen on the Ith, in the mottling, off Copenhagen. rIiANKFORT, JULY 15. The Austrian papers have news from Greece, but not of a late date. They relate to an unsuccessful attempt of Ibrahim to send 800 of his men from the Murea 0 Alexandria. It seems that his force consists of seven me' ments, and in very good condition. • A mail from Jamaica has been brought by his MAJESTY'S packet il/yrlc, Capt.

In the Courant of the 6th, a letter is stated to have been received by a respectable mercantile house, written by a person of good credit, and also a letter sent to Captain Courtenay of a similar tendency, commanding o n the station, and, it appears, the statement may be relied upon• From this it appears pirates have again made their appear ance in the seas, and it is hoped some energetic meaattras will be adopted to crush the regeneration of murder and robbery, which has for many years devastated the West Indian Seas. The following is the extract alluded to I bad occasion, from Manzinella de Cuba, t° make some communication to our Flag Officer, com manding at Port Royal, informing him of some pirates in festing our trade, in which I took the liberty of referring him to your house, if he required it, as to a knowledge of myself. I have made further communication this week, by enclosing him a letter received at Manzenilla de Cubs, from savannah, express, stating the capture of several ves sels by another gang of desperadoes. One named the Bordeaux Packet, from Vera Cruz, bound home, with 400,000 dollars in specie : her crew and 60 passengers were all murdered."

Very little, we believe, is authentically known relative to the opinions of the English Bar on Mr. O'CeS NKLL's right to sit and vote in Parliament. We can, however, state with c onfidence, that the judgment, at least, of Mr. DENMAN is decidedly with the Learned Gen tleman.—Dublin Morning Register. Extract of a letter from Manzinella de Cuba, dated June 6 :-Where is a pirate on the coast, a long schooner with half deck, and 18 men in number, having one gun, and well furnished with small arms, which hag been seen • twenty-five days at the Keys called Don Leagues.

I never had such a thing cross my mind, and 1 never thought of doing such a thing. Thomas Walker—l am a son of the prisoner at the bar by a former wife ; the prisoner has no daughter; I did not go with any woman to the bars of the prison below this morning, and say to the prisoner, " that a woman had confessed all ;" if any one has sworn so in Court they have sworn falsely ; I saw my father at the gaol, but not at the prison bars below. The LORD CHIEF BARON summed up the case. If the Jury believed the evidence of Brill, there could be no doubt that the prisoner had made a con fession of his guilt. The Jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, re turned a verdict of guilty—Death. The LoRD CHIEF BARON placed the tap on his head, and passed sentence of death on the prisoner, In very affecting terms. His Lordship said, that no human being who had heard the evidence could doubt his guilt. He had destroyed his wife with the anticipation of supplying her place by the wo man Bagot, and, but for an act of Providence, his son would also have fallen a victim to his murderous designs. His Lordship ordered him to be hanged on Monday, at Aylesbury, and his body to be given to the surgeons to be dissected and anatomised. The culprit stood unmoved till the sentence was passed, when he burst into tears, and he exclaimed. " I did not do it, my Lord; I did not do it !" and be fell down in the dock.
