FRENCH PAPERS. [From the Moniteur of Tuesday, 0ct.6.1 3. Ordinance of the King, decreeing the or-. ganization of the Medical Corps of the Hospitals and Lund Forces. This Ordinance consists of 34 articles, divided into four chapters. NON-OFFICIAL BAFONNS, SEPT. 28.—A1l that different Jour nuts have published relatively to the entrance of a division of thE . army of reserve into Spain, is, hitherto at least, destitute of all foundation. The two companies of artillery, which we thought had sailed for Cadiz at thelwginning of Septernber,'could not put to sea till the 24th, the wind having been constantly unfavourable. Hall a company of workmen of the artillery left Bayonne on the 26th for Cadiz. Two companies of the 7th Regiment of Artil lery, in gairison at Rennes, have left that city, and are expected here on the 4th of October. Each company consists of 70 men, including the subaltern officers. The most profound tranquillity prevails in all the provinces of the North of Spain. ( From Ihe Etuile of Thursday, Oct. 7.) PARIN,_ OCT. 6.--By a letter from Frankfo r t of the Will or September, we are informed, that M. Manger, brother to the late Director of the Police, at Cassel, is reported in the latest ac counts from that city, to have Committed suicide. He was at the head of the Administration of the Public Pawning Office. The • Conunamlant of the citadel of Erfurt has - been degraded from his military rank, and strip ped of all his digeities, though the investigation of his case has not yet been concluded. An officer of the Danish navy, who commands a division of the Greek fleet, lately wrote to his :family a very detailed letter, front which a pub lic journal gives the following extract " A person who is in such a situation as I am, to examine the state of things on the very theatres of event; cannot but be profoundly afflicted when he sees how little it would cost the Christian Powers to stop the effusion of Christian blood in these unhappy countries. lam sure that two ships of the line arid fOur frigate::, manned with European seamen, would de stroy in a single battle all the fleets of the Sublime Sultan. The Greeks with such means would triumph with equal case, there is no doubt, over their barbarous enemies ; bin they have none but vessels that are too slight to hear the fire of the heavy artillery, however ill it may be directed. " The Turks are in all respects the most detestable seamen in the universe. The ignorance of their Captains of vessels is such, that they are often seem to make their pilots responsible fin the changes of the weather. These unfortunate men, mos of them Grecks, compelled to serve, are liable to be baste nadoed, if a sudden change of the wind forces the vessel to de. .viate ever so little from its course. "The confusion which prevails on a tiny of battle is beyond •description. These stupid Illusselmen, to whom some Journals of Germany, and even of France, generously attribute chival rous qualities, derive all their courage in the sight of the eueuty, from an immoderate use of opium. From the Captain to the meanest sailor or artillery-man, they are all drunk or rather infuriated. Provided they hear the cannormake a great noise, and see a thicksmoke, they are persuaded that all goes on well. "It is pretty much the same by land. In truth we may ob. serve, that out of twenty actions in a campaign, the Greeks will be conquerors in nineteen, though with interior forces. It is only necessary to fight in very close order, and to lire as near s possible. The barbarians will never make any impression On a well exercised battalion ; they will come to be slaughtered like brute be a st s , th at is their whole merit; their cavalry, which is so highly spoken of, has never ventured to make a single serious charge. " It is beyond all doubt that negociations have been several times entered into to obtain a squaclrdn from the United States in exchange for some island in the Archipelago, that might suit therm—The inexplicable manner in which the Europeon Powers abandon these unfortunate Christians, may lead to the conclusion of a treaty with an ambitious Republic in the New World, and the Cabinets will lament their fault when it is too late ; yet history , holds out to them great and salutary lessons."

SATURDAY, MAY B.—We aro happy to an nounce to our readers that the Supreme Court of Judicature at this Presidency was this day established. A. few minutes after IP o'clock, Sir Edw. West, with Sir Charles Chambers, entered the Cour*, and immediately, afterwards the New Charter of Justice was openly read and proclaimed ; after which Bir Edw. West took the oaths as Chief-Justice, and Sir Chas. Chambers as one of the Nimes, Sir Ralph Rice, the other Puisne, was not arrived. He is not expected here, we believe, for some months. Upon the publication of the Charter, a royal salute of 21 guns was Mid. Upon the Chief-Justice being sworn-in, a salute of 17 guns was given, and Sir Charles Chambers re ceived one of 16 upon his taking the oaths. MONDAY, MAY 10.—The Supreme Court met this morn lag, and after the Barristers, Solicitors, and Officers of the Court had been sworn— The ADVOCATE-GENERAL rote, and obßerred to the Court, hat his Majesty had been graciously pleased to grant him his Letters Patent, giving him precedence over the rest of the Bar of this Court, and moved that the same might be read, and u copy filed, and'an order consonant thereto made. The Letters Patent were accordingly read, and the motion complied with. A discussion then took place respecting the right of Mr. Morley to precedence over the other Gentlemen of the Bar, namely, Mr. Irwin, Mr. Parry, and Mr. Le Mesurier. The three latter Gentlemen objected to Mr. Morley's right, upon the ground, that they were Barristers called to an Inn of Court in England, whereas Mr. Morley had never been so called, but had merely been permitted to act, as an Advo cate, in the Recorder's Court, upon its first institution, having been originally an Attorney. The question had been before discussed so far back as the year 18011, between Mr. Morley and Mr. Macklin, when the Court (Sir James Mac kintosh being at that time Recorder) decided in favour of ifr. Macklin. Upon an appeal by Mr. Morlerfrom this decision, ' the Appellate Court in England refused to interfere at all in the matter; it being a question, they said, solely for the considers. tion, and at the discretion of the local Court, at Bombay. Not. withstanding the decision, Mr. Morley, during the Recorder. ships of four of Sir James Mackintosh's successors, vlz.—Sir Alexander Anstruther, Sir George Cowper, Sir Wm. Evans, and Sir Anthony Buller, had been allowed to take precedence over three of the Barristers of the Cuurt, viz. Mr. M'Naugten, Mr. Staveley, and Mr. Irwin. After an argument of some length, the Court gave it as their , opinion that Mr. Morley was entitled to the precedence. In the course of the discussion, Sir C. CitAstamts observed, that the power which this Court had over its Bar, under the Charter was similar to that visitorial power which the twelve Judges in England had over the Barristers there, in respect to their privileges and conduct, and that the opinion of this Court, there- tore, upon any of the rights of the Advocates practising in it, was without appeal. It was a Local Court, and was the most _ _ proper and fit judge of the merits and qualifications of its ad vacates. fn the Local Courts in England, and particularly as he had noticed in the Mayor's Court at Chester, shortly before Leaving England, persons practising 83 Advocates in those Courts, though not regularly Barristers, are yet allowed, and do take rank and precedence over the Advocates, who are actually Barristers, and have been called to one of the Inns of Court.

After that, and the transaction of other busi ness connected solely with the Institution, the Members ad. )(Rimed to the London Tavern, where they enjoyed an elegant dinner. About five o'clock Admiral Lord Viscount Tomtit; TON entered the great room, accompanied by the Stewards, and took the Chair. The object of this Charity is toprovide for aged and distressed l s iaVt9dows, and Famili es . I t h as b een established Mariners, 40 years, and mu s t fl our i s h as l ong as e s h tn e a r their; y British enterpize brings home the wealth of all other nations: A more meritorious cltea than those whose relief is centemplated by this Institution cannot be conceived. By them commerce is advanced ; and knowledge, through them, extended to every climate and to every share. Aner dinner Non ~dais Domine ! was chaunted in admirable style by Messrs. Taylor, Broadhurst, Goulden and Clarke. The first toast wits, of course ` the King.'—gong, God save the King ;' and The Royal Family.'—Glee, Awake the Lyre!' 'rhe De;:e of York and the Army.' Sang—' The Wonders of the World,' Mr. Taylor. The next tout, ' Duke of Clarence and the Navy.'— ' Rule Britannia' sung in parts ; Mr. Goulden singing the first stanza, Mr. Broadhurst the next, and in the last, the whole of the vocalists joined, the company enthusiastically mingling in the chorus. The NoULE CHAIR HAN said, the next toast was the occa sion which brought them together that day, and therefore he would give it himself; ' the London Maratime Institution, and success to it.' Drank with three times three, anti deafening applause. Lime CHAIRMAN then announced that the Secretary would read to them an account. of the origin and progress of the Society. The SECRETARY then stated:that the Institution originated ut a Meetin g o f t h e A m i ca bl e S oc i ety of the Owners Mem ters of Ships belonging to the Port of London, on the 12th of October 1790, when it was resolved to establish a fund for the relief of decayed Master Mariners and their Families, under the denomination of the London Maritime Institution ; the indi. viduals who constituted it, first members, subscribing ten gui neas each, and exerting themselves to obtain subscriptions from Honorary Members, who were principally connected with Ship ping. The progress of the Society was very slow until 1800, when a grant of land on Bow-Common, from the Lord of the Manor of Stepney, was obtained, in order to erect some houses for the residence of the immediate objects of this Institution, and sufficient subscriptions were obtained to enable time Coin. mittee to build, in 1804, eight houses, the occupants of which being allowed 10/. a year each, for their lives, with some other allowances. After the erection of these Alms-houses, the So ciety became more generally known, anti further subscriptions having been receiv e d in a id o f the Building Fund, four more houses were built in 11110, and endowed on the same footing as the former. The ground belonging to the Institution is suf ficiently extensive for building at least twenty more houses, and every exertion will be made to accomplish so desirable an end ; for which purpose several subscriptions have been recently made to the Building Fund. The Pensioners resident in the Alm-houses are twelve in number, and receive amnially among them 1201. The Out. pensioners arc thirty, and receive each 101. a_year, together 3 001.—besides which, occasional relief is given to decayed members who are out of employment. The funds of the an. ciety consist of 9,900/. 3 per cent. Consols, and annual Sub scriptions and Donationa from Honorary Members ; but from the increasing demands on the Institution, its annual income does not keep pace with its expenditure, and there is now a deficiency for the l a st year of 174. The Report concluded with a strong appeal to the Masters of Ships to eontribute to the funds of the So c i e ty w hile in their power, and to tho s e re spectable individuals who constituted the Honorary Members of the Institution. Mr. C. RicuartEsox then rose, and said, it was customary to drink die health of their Chairman. It fell to him, and though others might provie it in a much more satisfactory milliner, yet it gave him an opportunity of publicly declaring how deeply they and the Charity were indebted to hint. He had had the Honour of his Lordship's acquaintance for above, thirty rears, and he had ever found him the first in charitable acts. Phis, the lists of most charities in the country would prove ; and as he never left tiny thing unfinished which he had en gaged in, these could not be a stronger reason for hopes of suc cess in this undertaking. ! Ilia Lordship had been, as it were, brought up in the b osom o f Neptune, and had partiCularly shewn himself the friend of mercantile seamen. The health of th e Ch a i rman was then drank with three times three, and great app l ause, which was redoubled when his Lord- The CHAIRMAN said, th e very ship ros e . his health had been prop ose d by his m anner i n w hi c h is very old and sincere friend, and the way in which it had been received, deserved his wannest thanks.

He proceeded to examine it, and for that purpose drew out the charge, which consisted of shot and slugs, which charge he immediately afterwards returned into the . gun. Witness having a knowledge of the murder that had been com m i t t e d in Langley Park, instantly took away the gun to Mr. Goodhart's house, and gave it to Glen. non the Officer, who happened to be down there at the time. George Lyon, Mr. Goodhart's gardener, stated, that when the last witness brought the gun to his master's house, he im mediately recognised it as having belonged to the deceased, James Morgan, and was stolen from the se e d-h ouse i n Mr. Goodhart's garden, on the night of the oth of May, when the hot-house ie the grounds was robbed of eleven pine -apples. It will be recollected, that on the morning of the 10th of May, the prisoner offered ten pine -apples for sale at the shop of Mr. James Stock, in Orange-court, Kennington-lane, which cir ciinistanee ultimately led to his app re h en sion.—The gun was here produced, an also Identified by Mr. Tyler and Mr. Green, two farmers of Bexley, who stated that it was the same gun they observed in a wood called Westwood, near Shooter's Bill, hidden under some leaves, but which they left In the place where they first had seen it, in order that they might apprehend the person who came to take it away. However the gun was removed from that spot in the course of the night, and was not heard of since, until the witness Keywood picked it up in the manner described.-111r. Goodhart examined the gun, and stated that he was co n v i nce d i t was t h at w h ic h h e had fre. quently seen in the possession of Jas. Mor ga n, hi s l a t e un f or . ' tunate under gardener. The charge was now ordered to be taken out of the gun by the Magistrate, when a piece of:pakg• ..t.s divvy. yr 42'. _ and exhibited the name of " Watkins" legibly marked in print. --Glennon now stepped forward, and stated that he had taken some pieces of paper from the prisoners person, as well as from his late lodging, which, lie said, he felt a desire to compare with the wadding taken out of the gun. One of the pieces of paper thus compared exactly corresponded with the piece of wadding in the place torn, and had printed upon it " To bacconist," underneath the name of Watkins. This circum stance, the Magistrate observed, was another strong feature in the charge against the prisoner, who was then fully committed to the next Assizes at Maidstone for trial, for the wilful murder of James Morgan ; and all the witnesses were bound over to prosecute. LOGAN ROCK.—It is with a great deal-or plea. sure that we are enabled to inform the curious and the lovers of antiquity, that an attempt is at last being made to restore this celebrated stone to its former pinnacle of wonder and surprise. We are aware of there being a diversity of opinion respecting it, but we hope the majority of our readers will be gratified to hear that Lieutenant Goldsmith, with a zeal truly characteristic of the British tar in redeeming past errors, and ever anxious to please, commenced his operations on Tuesday last with about thirty able seamen, by landing the requisite apparatus from boats beneath the cliff.—The weight of the rock has been recently found to be SEVENTY tons, to lift which a triangle is erecting over it of proportionat e stren gth, with tackle, blocks, &c. of the first magnitude. It is only three feet from its original site, and our best wishes attend their en- deavours to replace it. It was disturbed on the Bth of April last.—(Exeter Flying Post.)

Ma. EDITOR—Dr. JOHNSON was fond of what he styled " a Coffee-house life," and as conver sation was his chief delight, it was hardly possi ble that a man with various acquaintances, could, in any other place have equal opportunities of in dulging his fa vour it e p ro p ens ity. This life ht,, ilea mine, hut hot having Dr. Jourssetu's talents',4 and fame to attract attention, °f have chißly amused LL myself with newspapers, of which I am a constant and insatiable reader. My notice has been natural ly drawn to what are termed LEADING A ItTI which have risen into existence during my limes but which appear to me to be very unskilfully handled by those that are designated as "Leading Journals." ForMerly it was the custom for real news to take Me lead, and the Editors afterwards drew their inferences and announced their pre• dictions, but now long-winded discussions take the lead, and we are afterwards furnished with the facts and movements to which those discus. :ions refer. But the greatest folly that marks those leading Journals is when they consist ut tedious controversies and venemous abuse or each other. Can the Editors think that their Benders will feel any gratification in attendin„; to the scurrilou s recriminations of party-writer • No, Mr. Edito r , th e R ea d ers of Nocipar" l l ` want news, news, Si r , an d h av i ng b e en apPrb" of real intelligence or probable rumours, they may have leisure to turn to the sound obser• rations and rational deductions of intelligent and judicious writers ; but we should not be crammed with controversy when we are goPiug for information. A Newspaper should be what CONGRI:VE styles " sauce for the nation;" it should be calculated to please all palates except that which is inclined to " f ee d on garbage. Y.
