FRENCH PAPERS. F rode Ms Morning Bodkins' of liredriesday's Quotidienne.) PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. " NUREAIBUILG, JULY 29.—Various reports respecting the Congress of Johannisberg are cur• rent here. It is said that an ultimatum will be spot to Don Pedro, Emperor of Brazil, and in case lie does not accede to the views of the European Powers, troops mill be embarked for the New World, with or without the consent of Er.gland. It is also said that a' squadron will leave a port of the North to proceed to Cadiz, to be at the disposal of the-King of Spain. What is positive amidst all these conjectures is, that the relations between the Cabinet of St.. Petersburg and Europe have never been more actke than :mating the last two months, and the passage of Erench, Russian, Austrian, and Spanish Couriers ,still continues." (From the Pilate of Thursday.)

Ju Ls( 29.—Letters from the coast of the Me diterranean, dated July sty, that by accounts bronsht by ships from the Levant, it appeara that the Greeks in the Wanda of the Archipelago are very busily' engaged in military prepa rations. They areilot only taking the most active measures to: place the Islands threatened by , the Capitan Pacha in abetter" state of defence, but are equipping their fleet, so as to be able shortly to commence offensive operations. All the ships of war are fitted out, and form several divisions, which incase of need may be promptly used. It is well known since the return of the Turkish Admiral to Mitylene, he is engaged on a plan of attack on one of the Greek islands. The Turks every where give out that their intention is to make themselves masters of 'spare. But it is believed that it is only a stratavaini on their part, and that their real inten tion is to attack ilydra, in order to pass over afterwards from that island to the Morett, and overrun the Peninsula.— Iry this operation they would chiefly employ the fresh corps of Asiatic troops, which have formed part of the armrthat was sent to Persia, and Which are assembled on the coa.st. of Asia Minor, ready to be conveyed over to Europe. How ever this may be, it hi certain that the preparations for defence. have rot bsen neglected either at Hydra or Ispara, end that all the points where a landing ; might be practicable, are co vered by forinidable batteries. The - Capitan' Paella may be certain that lie will meet with the most vigorous resistance front those islands, and that the Greek flotillas besides will everywhere harass him. The inhabitants of all these islands are animated with the greatest enthusiasm, and the more so as they are convinced that this expedition will be at all events de cisive. According to letters from Alexandria, the Egyptian expedition, reinforced by the Egyptian troops pow in the Isle of Candle are to make a landing at Navarino on the south point of the Morea, while the Asiatic troops of the Capitan Pacha are to land on the cast coast of the Peloponnesus. But the necessary measures have been taken in that Hart of the Pe ninsula also to oppose a vigorous resistance to all these attempts to land. The threatening danger has at length the effect of putting an end to the unfortunate divisions which prevailed be. tween the Commanders of the Morea. The party of Coloso. troni is entirely subdued, and its Chief is carefully watched.— It is said lie has fully justified himself from the reproach of having negociated with Turkish-agents • but his countrymen in general distrust hint too much to confi de to hint a stew com mend.

On our passage we threw 'overheard (agreeable to old custom) a copper cylin der, containinga paper with our situation on it, and a notice in different languages to those who might pick them up to forward them to the Admiralty ; therefore, I dare say, you will hear of us at home occasionally in that way, but the ice will soon cut off' that sort of communication.

CHtLiiISFORD, SATURDAY, JULY 7. The Assizes for this county ended about two o'clock this afternoon. Sentence of death was passed upon five capital con_ victs, but none of the wretched culprits were left for execu tion. Four were for burglary, and the fifth for horse stealing ; and. although in all their cases there were circumstances of aggravation, the Learned Judge exercised his discretion in fa tour of mercy. JURORS'. EXPENCEq. -• When Mr. Baron GRAHAM discharged the Jury, who had served during the Assizes, one of them, in the. name of his fellows, addressed the Learned Judge and requested to know whether they ought not to be allowed something for their loss of time. They had, now been detain e d f r om their home six days, at considerable expence and inconvenience, and they hoped that the court would award them some compensation out of the county fund'. Mr. Baron (iluAitAm said, it was quite out of his power to yield to the request. lie had no authority to make any order upon the subject.. Indeed, if such authority were vested in a Judge, it might be productive of serious consequences in the administration of justice. The office of juryman, though it might be burthensome to the individual, was.most important to society, and ought to be discharged without fee or reward. It was one of the honourable duties imposed upon persons in the station.of life from which jurors were selected ; and in the uninfluenced discharge of which the.deepest interests of society were concerned. The Juryman dicl not seem at an satisfied with his Lordship's answer, and expressed a hope that his Loroiship would take the subject Mtn his serious consideration, and bring the matter be fore the house of Lords. The ; t i earned Judge smiled at this aliggestion, and assured the Gentleman that he had no authority or influence one way or the other upon the subject. The matte; was entirely for the consideration pf the Legislature. • YORK, AVOITSV fL CROWN StDE.--,Before Mr. Baron lIV u.ocl. • MURDER.

After the Juiy had been sworn, The Cu.: nx of the A MIA G informed his Lordship, that one of the Jurymen wished to withdraw, on account of his being it near neighbour of the prisoner. :11r. Baron Ilut.t.ocK—That is no objection in law; but if the prisoner's Counsel has no objection, the Juror may withdraw. Jorirs consented. After another Juryman had been added, and the Jury re. sworn, the case proceeded. Mr. ALEXANDEtt then said, the prisoner he believed was non cowls menlit. • Mr. COLTMAN (who was also for the prisoner) said, he be lieved the prisoner bad never spoken since he had been confined in the Castle. _ _ Gaoler—lie never has, my Lord.

The Ova of Not Guilty was then recorded. The primmer was afterwards tried on the Coroner's Inquest. Clerk of the Arraigns—Gentlemen of the Jury, look upon the prisoner, and say whether he. is guilty of the felony and minter with which he stands charged.

Mr. BLACKBURN cross-examined the defendant—Always paid at Midsummer and Martinmas. By the notice it did not appear when the rent was due, and the demise in law could not therefore be fixed.

It was brought, said the Learned Counsel, for a breach of promise of marriage under an engage ment in writing, and given by the defendant, When he well knew what he was doing and the engagement he had entered into. The plaintiff' was the daughter of a poor widow woman, Sarah Malloy. The plaintiff had been a servant in the eni- Mploy of the defendant's father and mothe r , w h o res id e d at N ew all, near Sheffield. The defendant, Richard Swallow, con ceived a violent attachment for her, and agreed in writing to marry her, which promise he had given to the ear, but broken to the hope; this action was brought for a compensation of that breach of promise. The Learned Gentleman - then called IVm. Ashmore, who proved that the parties had been to his house and had dinner, where the defendant met the plaintiff; he was 28 years of age he. believed, and hid known him 20 years. The witness then described that the clergyman at Sheffield had refused to marry them without the consent of his parents; he afterwards said he would not marry, but give her in lieu thereof. . _ _ Cross-examined by Mr. ScAuLETT—Ilad heard her say, if he did not Marry her, she should have 40001.; he did not think the young man a weak person, but should not think him clever in giving such an instrument. Re-examined by Mr. Ilitoyanist—lle knows, gliard Swallow's hand-writing ; the defendant is a man of property, and has a colliery; he has managed the business three or four years ; he is a man of considerable property. Martha Swallow examined by Mr. Ilnottattau—She mar ried the brother of the defendant on the 27th March, 11123; she.kztew the plaintiff; they hired together as.fellow-servants' in the sarnelrouite; therwere at Mr. Ashman's on the 211th of March all together, where the defendant said be would marry her, and never run off his promise, although his uncle Parker had advised him never to marry her; had heard that the plain tiff'had had a child, and that the defendant had said he thought her none the worse fin that. Cro* examined by Mr. ScAn LE T T—ller age is 24. She has lived in two places before. She was under maid, and Sarah was housemaid. She did not gain the affections of John so soon as Sarah did that of Richard. lie told her he did not want his papers hack. She never thought him a ninny. The plaintiff told wittiest:she had , had a child by the butler in the family where she lived; she thought her none the worse for that. The but ler was a married man. She did not get a . contract from John us Sarah had done froni Richard. She never act her cap at him herself. Her husband John was sober when be married. Sa rah had eight: guineas a-year. —Agreement put in and read , 4 I, Richard Swallow, do agree to marry Sarah iilalloy, or forfeit all my proryity.—Feb. 14th, 1824.' The defendant it appeared had made an appointment to meet the plaintiff; and not being able to •keep h is wor d, h e wrote the following love epistle:— _ _ " My dear SaralC—You will feel by no means surprised at my not coming over at eight o'clock according to appointment —don't be afraid I shall run away from my. wind. My mother keeps a good look out, and father is on the watch : make your self comfortable, and I will never f orsa k e y ou . I h ope 1 shall not be in prison lung. " Your ever faithful lover, NICHATID SWALT.OW. " P.S. I hope to call you my wife very soon, when all your troubles will he over." But then came the one that was to blast her affections, couched in these cold and laconic words : " Miss Sarah Malloy—After I saw you at Sheffield I pon dered on the great impropriety I had been guiltrof, and which has set my friends against me. I shall not marry you, and therefore won't deceive you any more. - My friends say I shall not marry any person so inferior to myself. I hope you will not trouble yourself any more about me. " P.B. I%ly servant will ask you for some papers." Mr. ticattLETT replied, and 'with, it was a paltry action, brought by a servant for the eyidentpurpose of gain. Mrhat did she want, the man Or the m,,ney , l why the money to b e sure , 4,000/. ; aye " There's the rti). ' What would the Jury think of this case ? Where was his ',earned Friend's tears, his sighs —he had shed none, nor heaved his bosom at the dreadful tale. Where were the blighted hopes of his. client, her loss of time, the trifled affections of the heart ? It was a conspiracy between the two servants, and nothing else,-•to make a fortune. What did Sarah say, why, he, the defendant, should not have. his papers back under 4,0001. • This was her loss ; and it would now ho Keen what datuagea.the ory. woahl give nmicr such :cir. curnstanc!:s as these. It was a catching bargain, and reminded" him of a case (probably a York one) where a person had agreed to sell another a horse at a farthing a nail doubled every nine.

EDMUND'S Ago. 7. (afore Mr. Jaßticc (FASELEE and a Special Jury. ) M.:FA MAT lON.—ronn V. runricosE. This was an action for words spoken. The plaintiff' was a farrier or veterinary surgeon, at Mildenhall, in this county ; the defendant is a surgeon residing at the same place ; and the charge was, that the defendant had said of the plaintiff' (under circumstances specified,) " he" (the plaintiff) " was the death of his first wife, and he ought to have gone to Bury for it;"—the inuendo alleging this as an imputation of murder, or at least manslaughter, against the plaintiff' Bury being the assize and jail town of the liberty. There were other counts, charging the defendant to have said, on the death Of the plaintiff's housekeeper, Mary Wing, that the matter ought to be most rigidly inquired into, for that h e (pl a i nt iff) had murdered his former 'wife, or woman, by giving. her proper medicines for a peculiar complaint, which caused her death. Further counts stated the mere words to have been used, without any inuendo as to their import; and there was a plea of special damage to the plaintiMin his business. The defendant pleaded the general issue, without setting up any justification. • Mr. H. Coot , c: ft opened the case, as one of the highest im. portance to the plaintiff', whose livelihood, as well as his moral Character, stood deeply implicated in. its result. No verdict as regarded damages could compensate for the injury which the plaintiff's feelings had sustained ; but the Jury might do some,. thing by making up the loss which he had suffered in his call. ing and consequent income, owing to this conduct of the de fendant : and at all events their damages would so far restore him to his proper place and reception in society, as that they would mark the sense which his country entertained of the un• merited attack to which he had been subjected. The Jury had heard, from the opening of the pleadings, the nature of the slander charged against the def e ndant.; the words used were such as admitted neither of misconception, nor of compromise.— These words had not been spoken either hastily or in passion; the defendant had uttered them at two different times to two different-individuals. They were words which imputed= to th e plaintiff. not a crime of ordinary magnitude or infamy, but Sc. tually the almost inconceivable villainy of having 0 0 1 first his own wife, and afterwards a wom a n with whom (for the fact must come out), a nd bein g Mar r i e d to he r belied cohabited. It was fit, however, that the Jury should know the chew stances under which these accusations had been put forth by Mr. Primrose; and the einem, or at least some of the imme diate ones, with which they had been attended to the plaintiff —The first set of words complained of had been spoken to Joan Wayman, a gentleman &Feat respectability, one of the Coroner's of-the county. Mr. n ayman, it would appear, ha d come over to Mildenhall, in the execution of his office, to ts!: an inquest upon the body of a c hild w hi c h had lost its life by accident. This had h a pp ene d a b ou t the time, or o n the same day, on which Mary Wing (Mr. Ford's housekeeper) had died ; and the defendant, coming up:m3lr. Weintel in the street, had told him, unsolicited; that the plaintiff bait been the death of his former wife, or mistress (using one of these terms or the other, th e witnesses were not positive which); that he had been the death of hi s f orme r w if e or Mistress, and that he deserved to be sent to Bury for it. On subsequent ee' casion, Mr. -Pritnose was found a g ain Klieg to Mr. Ceegca a surgeon of alildenliall, " I think this business (the (lona a l di 3 n l g ary fu a rt V b i e n r g , ) t o h l a ig t l t it he to o b ai e nt li fi ns .

Now, toatter , santla e ; 4 words and allegations, there w as n o t a j uet ifi cet i en y e n elza" d. The delendanediel not dare even to assert t l ett had eeistsu the slightest foundation for them ; and if the e ll pre net su' words as deserved to dr aw upon him .the inai a u e tion of the Court and the Juty, he (M r . Cooper) did not w e ll know wh4 slander could ev er p ro d uce suc h an effect ; and the eperati e e of these wends ::s charges had horn a s am pl e ns t h e heart of the defendant could d es i re . Mr. lawman, in consequence o f inquired into ; what was stated to him, had felt himself bound to hold an inquest on the body of Mary Wine. This must have been no slight matter of distress to the 'feelings of the plaintiff as it were, . accusing him publicly in his own house of having caused the death o f a woman to whom, whatever wue tl:e ne tore of his connexion with her, lie had at least for rimer years been attached. For the result of this inquest, the Cc' roner'e Jury had been satisfied in a moment. They had not even desired to have the body of the woman opened ; but th e eff ' c't of the defendant's malevolent insinuations was not yet to be at a n end. The Coronerhed left the body,the funeral arrangements had proceeded in the usual course, and the corps of this unfortunate woman, follOWeit: be , ebe plaintiff and her own relations, had been carried up to the church in order to its being interred; when here ag a in, ow i ng to the general suspicion which t h e de fendant's word s h a d ra i se d aga i nst the plaintiff, the clergymen' notwithstandin g th e i nquest; had refused to bury Eventually, it had been carried back to the house of the plain tiff; and lain there five days longer, before it was permitted the rites of sepulture. Now there was no affirmation, even by the defendant himself, that these things which he had spoken were true; and there was evidence in the case to show that, while be spoke them,'he bad known them to be false. The defendant bad. asserted that the plaintiff's former wife died in consel e ence at his adminis'ring Improper medicines to her for a pecu iar corn% plaint; wofflid it be believed that the defendant himself and a g tended this very woman, as a surgeon,in her last illness ? His ho' was extant, and through the whole brit, there did not appear single medicine which would have been given to a person la' bouring under such an aihnent as that he alluded to. The fact was, that it was a seandalotia falsehood . , the having insinuate the. body the existence of such acomplaint at all. The plaintiff's wif e had died of a dropsy, accelerated by a general decay of the system. The medical _gentlemen who had attend e d her, after the defendant's attendance on her had ceased, would.prore that the whole story, as to the nature of her complaint,. val e a calumny of the foulest description. Now this case was to be met by the defendant, he (the Learned Counsel) could Or very well imagine. He had heard 'suggestions that something was to be done in the way of attack upon the character of t%' plaintiff: But if, in answer to such charges as were open in the present cause , t h e J ury were to be told " that the !that' tiff had cohabited with a woman to whom he was not married," he hoped such a defence would be treated with the cons tempt which it deserved. .A course like this would amount to nothing more' than an aggravation of the injury which Mr. Ford had already sustained.. If, the plaintiff had corn' mitted a slight act of misconduct, - the way to reform Ilan was not to hunt him out of society—to drive him to despair. The Jury would recollect that a greater power than they held did not disciala to pardon the offender who resolved to sin no more--that there was mere joy in, II oven over one shiner who repented thati over ninety-nine righteous men who had no need of repentance. In concl us i on , the Learned Counsel sub mitted that no choice had been left to the plaintiff but to bring the present action. After such imputations as had been thrown upon him, he could not continue to exist in society, withe,l giving his accuser an opportunity to p rove th e t ru th o f themt` they were true) before a Jury of his country. Mr. John %remain one of the Coroners for the count/' proved the words stated in the declaration. Cross-examination continued.—Every person who spoke , said how stran ge i t was t h e y e oman should have di e d ad se" denly. She had miscarried, but was thought to have got Pe: ; fectly well. These reports were accomp an i e d by remarbeOr the plaintiff 's former wife bad 'died very stiddenly ; an i t 'e woman, with whom lie had formerly cohabited had also llt very suddenly: Mr. Justice GASELtt said, that the last fact was not Mim i ! . able evldence. ess— he reports which I heard in this way excit ed WI suspicions, and induced me to take an inquest. at Mr. Arthur Lloyd (edge said-4 am a surgeon, Mildenhall,and recollect the 11)th of September, when rilr.l re: man came over t o h o ld t h e i nquest on the child.
