Mr. HALLS therefore ordered .I_r defendant to be detained until he had an opportunity of. e carefully considering the mode in which he ought to Proceei The Paris Papers of Sunday contain news from Constantinople, which represents the Ottoman capital as a scene of the greatest disorder, owing to the mutinous spirit of the Janissaries, and the extreme misery to which the people have been re duced by the exactions of the Government to carry on the war against the Greeks. Notwithstanding the boasted plan of operations for the next cam paign, made public a few days ago by the Turkish Government, it is manifest by these accounts that the Porte, from the distracted state of its affairs, will not be able to carry that plan into execution, or even perhaps be able to make an other effort against the Greeks. The following are extracts of the intelligence above allud ed to : ( From the Etoik, dated Monday, March 14. ) CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 1!. The Sultan has lent to the 111iri, for the service of the State, 19,000 purses, that is, 9 millions of piastres. The Pacha of Egypt has sent to the Sultan 5 millions. Abdallah, Pacha of Acre, whose pardon has been negociated for 15 millions, has sent 200,000 piastres. FEBRUARY 2. Last, Friday ten persons were arrested, and most of them executed on the spot. Ali Pacha, the ex-Grand Vizir, who has retired to Philippopoli, has just received orders to raise the money for the extraordinary wants of this year : similar orders have been sent to Asia. Each of the continents is to furnish 15 millions of piastres. ' The forts on the channel are being repaired and put in a better state of defence. The children of Ali Paella, of Joan nina, have been sent for to the Grand Vizir : it is supposed this family will be again called upon to act a part. FEBRUARY 3. The banishment of several persons arrested some time since excites sensation ; among them are four Ortas of the Janissa ries: The corps of the Ridjigals is supposed to be secretly im plicated in the intrigues of that body. - A project of the Sultan is talked of, subjecting to military regulations all those Janissa ries whose pay is above 40 aspers per day. FEBILUARY Last week there were again some disorders in Constanti nople, such as the arrest in broad day-light, and that at night, of two persons followed by their domestics. About 40 persons belonging to the different corporations in the city . have been strangled. FEBRUARY The partial troubles which called for the vigilance of the Government continue. Three 'Janissaries who resisted the Guard on Sunday the 6th Feb. were embarked in vessels in the arsenals, which are to sail as soon as possible. Eight others, who also resisted and wounded a sentinel, were carried before the Janissary Aga, and executed on the spot. The Chief of the Market of Malta has been seized in the night in his house and put on board a boat, which it is sup posed did not carry him far. TWelve Ortas are spoken of, said to be suspected by the Go vernment. Though the Aga of the Janissaries has shown the greatest activity in his duty, he was deposed this morning at three o'clock. Tnere are persons who pretend that all this agitation is only a trick of the persons holding the reins of Government' to alarm the Sultan, who dreads nothing so much as a revolution, and to attribute these troubles to Ghalib Podia. Others main tain that the conspiracy is real, and that its object tends to a complete catastrophe. They found their opinion on the fact that Constantinople presented a similar scene of partial disorders on the dethroning of the Sultan Mustapha in 1808, and that the real focus of the revolt is in the body of the Ulemas, who - collect the complaints cf all the brinches of the State .which, are perishing from want and misery. They mention on this subject the 72,000 purses which the Sultan has caused to be levied this year for the extraordinary wants of the State. The distress in Asia is so great that a feher prosecuted for debt, has been obliged (a thing unheard of among the Mussul mans) to give his daughter in pawn! A poor peasant has been forced to sell the tiles off the roof of his house to "pay his creditors. It was some time ago reported that , the King of PRUSSIA had shewn a disposition to follow the policy of this country with respect to the new States of South America, and bad accordingly appointed a Mr. ESCHENBERG, lITS Majesty's Con sul General at Buenos Ayres. The appoint ment of Mr. ESCHENBERG was contradicted by the Berlin Gazette, but it appears by the follow ing article from Stockholm that the Assembly of the Pomeranian States have been permitted to express their wish that the Prussian'Govern ment should conclude treaties of commerce with the South American Republics. (From the Journal des Debats of Sunday.) STOCIMOLM, FEB. :12. By an article in one of our Papers we learn that the States General of Pomerania have expressed a wish that the. Prus sian Government should conclude treaties of commerce with the States of Southern America, oa account of the advantages likely to result therefrom to Prussia. Hamburgh Papers to the I2.th instant arrived this morning. According to an article from St. Petersburgh of the 26th ultimo, it would seem that the trade of the Russian capital has increas ed so much as to render it necesiary to erect ad ditional buildings for the accommodation of ware honsed goods, and for affording greater facility in the management of the customs. The works are to commence i❑ the summer, and a million of rubles has been appropriated to their erection for the current year. From Stockholm' we learn, that proposals for extending the commercial re. lations between Sweden and the Netherlands have been made by the Government of the latter country, and is now under the consideration of the Swedish Board of Trade.

DOVER, MARCH 15.—Sailed for Boulogne the Monarch steam boat, with his Grace the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, and the King George sailing packet, with his Excellency Prince PAUL ESTER .HAZY. The general importation into St. Petersburgh, in the course of last year, amounted to 120026,175 rubles, and the exportation to 97,066,608 rubles. Among the 116 wholesale houses mentioned in the Commercial List, that of CLEMERS and BEitG imported to tl►e greatest amount, namely, 16,681,075 rubles; and that of THORNTON, C.l Y LEY, and Co. exported to the greatest amount, viz. 8,900,8 50 rubles. The Journal of the Russian Bible Society, which was begun in January last year, was closed on the ID!' February, by -order of the Metropolitan Seraphiu President of the Society, which has not had any annual meeting 51116 " July, 1822. • Sir W. Colsancvc returned. to Berlin on the 9th instant, and the preparations for lighting the city with Gas are going on rapidly. "I'l►e cause way from Berlin to Charlottenhurg will be first lighted in this manner. By the Mexican, arrived at Liverpool, letter* to the 97th of January have been received - from n ava/ma t ) . Vessels front Alvarado had arrived t.ler by whom the state of :Mexico was reported t: perfectly tranquil. The Mexicans had , be , fortified the island of Sacrificios. The Urica, Colombian vessel of war, had been cruizing off the Havannah, and had proceeded to •Phila delphia, to convoy a number of gun-boats from thence to Colombia', there to be employed as guarda costas. Mr. LAWLESS, one of the Deputation of the Roman Catholics, has published- a long letter, against the proposed Bill of Emancipation. In this letter he states, that the arrangements conse quent upon the measure are three—that an an nual stipend shall be paid to the Roman Catholic Clergy by public authority—that 40s. freeholders shall no longer have a.right of voting at Elections — and," there is a Board to be constituted composed of Catholics—the appointment to be sanctioned by the I rish Government, whose duty,it is said, is to be limited to the exclusion of foreigners from the Catholic Prelacy of Ireland, and to the report ing to the Government the characters of the per sons seeking ecclesiastical promotion in the -Ca tholic Church ; to the registering of their places of birth ; and the communication of all such in formation as may best regulate the mind of the Irish Government iii the distribution. of the an. nual stipend to the Irish Clergy." FATAL DUEL.—Mr. ARROWRIGHT, who was wounded in a duel with Mr. C —E, a gentle man of independence, .died, on Monday night from fever. The meeting took place on Hurst Common, near Oakingttatn, and Mr. Arnow; RIGHT received the ball of his adversary in die' left breast, in the second fire. It was extracted at the house of the deceased at Shiplock, on Monday morning, soon after which appearances were alarming, and death eased the sufferings of the deceased at 11 o'clock at night. Sir Wm. C. DE CRESPIGNY, Bart. we regret to hear is dangerously ill ; he has been visited by a paralytic and apoplectic attack. Sir F. BURDETT appeared last night in the House of Commons with his left arm in a sling, in consequence, we believe, of a slight touch 61H the gout. Mr. PLUNKETT was also in the Honse for a. short time, in the early part of the even ing, and had a conference with. the Honourable Baronet. It is not true that Mr. MAcREAny has had a relapse, or, that.his state of health will at all in terfere with his profession, as stated in a para graph copied from a country paper. He. was ad vised by his phy si c ians to renounce his country engagemen ts, but a very recent letter fro m . him states that his health was almos t completely re established, an d-that he should resum e his en gagethent at Drury-lane immediately after Eas ter.—(Moriziog Paper ! ) .

ROYAL HUNT.—His Majesty's Stag Hounds met on Mon day at Two Mile Brook, near Maidenhead, where a fine Deer was uncarted for the day's diversion at 1l o'clock, which, after a short but severe run, was taken at Wootaurn, near Beaconsfield ; the field, although fashionably attended, was not so numerous as we have sometimes witnessed. ITALIAN OPERA.—The Barbiere Seviglia, and the new ballet of La Coquette Sountise, were repeated last night at the Haymarket Theatre, before a fashionable, but not a crowded audi tory. GARCIA and DE BEaNts, as before, ex erted thetnselveg with great effect. A printed paper apologized for Madame VESTIIIS in the Countess, on account of a severe cold. A sister of the Lady who has recently announced her acquaintance with " the general camp, the pioneers, and all," appeared in one of the pri vate boxes, and, the rumour having circulated, she attracted no little attention. The dances were admirably performed, but, as usual, were too long. PgRENOLOGY.—Dr. SPUIMIEIM last night gave an introductionary Lecture, preparatory to a series on thiS visionary system, having changed its former title of CitAPHOLOGY. It seems im possible .to suppose that any person of common sense will seriously attend to the elucidation of doCtrines of which it is impossible to examine the foundation in Ow living subject,. or that the Pro fessor himself should be absorbed in such delu sion. Argument and Wit have been employed to refute it, and if there are still believers, they must be incapable of comprehending the one, or have any notion of the other. We thought that the impracticable absurdity was at an end, but it seems to be supposed that Ingenuity can always reap a harVest of folly in Old England. But 'his, not even specious nonsense, will in time upon the credulity of mankind. follow t American ca } rT i fatetA.c of A N I M Ll‘ Tou s and A tiiaiiy iA Cl G L N h E'ri era S tT theeillpts PITT.—The following anecdote which was related by M r. J ustice GAItROW, on Monday last, at the Staffordshire Assizes, on an indictment, the KfNG versus AmenLET,. Proprietor of The Pot ter!) Gazette, for a libel on Messrs. IttD6WAY, displays such a proof of the •acuteness and sa gacity of our late illustrious Statesman, during the short period when he was at the Bar, as af fords a fair presumption, that if he had pursued the Law he would have attained the highest ho nours of the Profession. The point was the ap plication of an inuendo, which occurred, as the Learned Judge stated, very long before he was called to. the Bar : " A person was tried for libelling the late. Marquis of SaliS bury ; on that occasion the late Lord Erskine led the case for the defendant, and he well recollected that the jtinior Counsel for the defendant was a person of whose talents as a Statesman he could not speak too highly—he meant the late Mr. Pitt. In the libel the Noble Marquis was not mentioned by name, but was denominated " the tallest and proudest Peer in the realm ;" a' witness was called, who proved that, in his qpinion, the Marquis of Salisbury was the person , theant ; upon which Mr. Pitt got up and said to the witness, I know the Marquis is a tall man (which was the fact) but do you think him the proudest Peer in the realm ? To this the witness answered—" I have the good fortune to know the Marquis of Salisbury very well, and am therefore aware that he is not at all a proud Nobleman ; but among those who do not know him as I do, he is so considered." After this answer the great Statesman he alluded to sat down, and neither of the Counsel thought it prudent to ask the witnesses any more ques tions.on that point, the question being, not whether the descrip tion was a true one, but whether it was such a one as shewed who was the person meant." • We underitand Mr. GRA IMES PHILLIPS, the Barrister, was taken dangerously ill at Worcester (on the Oxford Circuit), but we are happy to hear he is so far recovered that it is expected he Will meet the Judges at Shrewsbury•tQ.marrow. ' INDIA. lFrom Last Night's Gazette.l INDIA BOARD ; MARCH 12,, 1826. A dispatch has been receisd at the East India House, from the Governor-General in Council at Fort William in Bengal, with inclosures, of which the following are extracts Extract from a Letter from the Governor. General in Council to .the Secret Committee of the Court of Directors of the East India Company, dated Fort William, August 12, 1324. • " We will not trespass the time of your Honourable Com mittee with any detailed statement of the . contents of Brigadier- • General Campbell's dispatches* of the 16th June and I lth .TUly, reporting the partiCulars of the brilliant affairs in which our troops have been engaged, but request leave to refer you to the dispatches themselves. . Your Honourable Company will not fail to remark with the highest satisfaction the gallant behaviour of the native troops, who on several occasions have emulated the exarqles •• of intrepidity and valour- set them by the Europeans., We have signified to Brigadiers-Generals Sir Archibald CaniPbel.l . and Macßean our highest approbation of all their proceedings;' and have requested them to convey to the several officers, whose . services have been particularly adverted to, our thanks and ac knowledgments for their gallant exertions. In the affair of the 10th June, against the 'fortified - camp and stockades, at Kemarr- dine, the flight of the enemy alone prevented the complete,suc cess of Sir A. Campbell's judicious and well-concerted measures for striking a most impressive blow, by the destruction which must have inevitably ensued, of ;the whole or the main part of their force, had they ventured to abide .the assault; but still a great point was gained by that and the preVious attacks en the several fortified positions of the Burmese, it being evident, from their subsequent abandonment of all the stockades in the neighbourhood of our army, that the enemy was now convinced those strong holds were no security against the British bayonet or the force of our artillery. The result of the operations on the Bth ult. was peculiarly decisive and brilliant ; on that day ten stockades were carried at the point of the bayonet, 38 pieces of artillery, 40 swords, and 300 muskets captured, and upwards of 800 of the enemy's best troops, including some Chiefs, left dead upon the grounl• " From the dispatches referred to, your Hon. Committee • will also learn; that on . the ISt of July an attempt was made by the enemy, under positive orders from the Court of Ava, to make a general attack upon our line, and drive us at once out of the country; and that this mighty attack was repulsed . by three weak companies of. sepoys and- two pieces of artillery. From some prisoners who were taken on that occasion, Briga dier-General Sir Archibald' Campbell learnt that the enemy's fbrce . on this.occasion consisted of 12,030 men. • "On our north-eastern frontier few events of any conse quence have occurred since the date of our last address. In Assam the Officer commanding has fallen back. and conce...- I trated his force at Gowahatti. The detachment on the frontier I of Sylhet has taken up its quarters at Buddapore and the neighbourhood, after an unsuccessffil attempt to shell the enemy out of their fortified position on the hill of Tiloayn. The particulars of this affair are contained in letters, copies of which are numbers in the packet." '[Here follow- dispatches from Lieut.-Colonel Nicol and I.ieut.-Colonel Innes, giving an account of their operations en the Sylhet and Cachar frontier against the Burmese. These dispatches are entirely unimportant; and, as the substance of the transactions to which they allude appeared in our Paper some months since, it is of course unncessary to repeat them.] • See THE SUN of 20th November, 1824, and 24th of Feb.

FlRE.—Yesterday morning, at about 5 o'cloci, the house in the occupation of Mr. Hewitt, pork-butcher, at the corner of St. Thomas's-street, Southwark, was discovered to be on fire; and so rapid were the flames in their destructive pro= gress, that before eight the walls had fallen in, and the pre mises were in ruins. Fortunately the inmates escaped, and we are not aware of the occurrence of any accident. DREAD7UL ACCIDENT.—This forenoon, soon after ten o'clock, a young lady, of prepossessing appearance, in endeavouring to cross the narrow part of St. Martin's-lane, was knocked down by a horse and cart, which at the moment turned suddenly down, and before she could avoid the danger, she fell, and the cart passed over her ; a dreadful shriek notified to the passengers the ca tastrophe, and she was immediately raised anti carried to a surgeon's, and on examination it was found the young lady's right thigh was dread fully fractured, and she has sustained other very severe injuries. Every medical care was paid her,and she was put to bed. On enquiry we have ascer tained her name to be SRA, ' and she has con ducted the millinery department of a house of business in: Albemarle-street; and was on her way to the City to make some purchases when the distressing occurrence took place,
