p II I r' FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, Nov. 14.) CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 18 , 't`.—When we recol lect that the couriers who have left Constantinople must have quitted that capital on the 20th*, and that at that time the cannonade by Admiral CO drington off Zante, and the forced return of Ibrahim, must have been known there, and that, neverthe less, the English and Russian Ambassadors had not quitted that city, and bad not been sent to the apart ments prepared for them in the Seven Towers, it seems pretty certain that the negociations are con tinued., and it is probable that their result will be pacific. (BY AN EXTRAORDINARY CONVEYANCE.) OCT. 20.—Things are still in the same state. Baron Ottenfels, the Austrian lnternuncio, has en tirely changed his language; he has had several con ferences with the Reis Effendi, and is said to have remarked in him some appearance of a disposition to yield. It is affirmed also, that the Reis ffendi has expressed some surprise that Austria should in cline to the views of the Allied Powers, and this change may probably have a powerful influence on the Divan. It is certain that the Porte has hitherto said nothing about the events at !t: .varin, and has taken no hostile step in return, which strengthens our opinion that all will in the end be pacii;iielly ar ranged. As for the order said to have been7ent on the 15th, by a Tartar, to Ibrahim, to continue his operations against the Greeks, no conclusion can be drawn from it for a decisive measure, as the Greeks themselves have not suspended hostilities.—Augs burgh Gazette. " PARIS, Nov. 13.—The Augsburgh Gazette of the 9th announces, that the Austrian brig Monte cuculi broughf to Trieste, on the 2d Nov. the news of the total defeat of the Turkish and Egyptian fleet in the Gulf of Navarin, between the 20th and 23d October.

Their :Majesties returned to Valencia on the 31st. The Count d'Espagne, on his return to Vich, was attacked almost at the gates of that city by an am busade of insurgents. His escort fought bravely, dispersed the ambuscade, and made 16 prisoners. General Caratala, Chief of the Etat-Major of Count d'Espagne, has made some fresh and name• rous arrests. M. de Camane Figuera has published the follow ing Proclamation : According 'to the instructions received from his Excellency the Captain General, I give notice to all persons of whatever rank . and condition, that in the space of 21 hours they are required to deliver to the bailiffs of their respective villages, all their fire-arms and weapon's, long and short, under the penalty of a fine of 100 ducats, and to be sent for two years to the gallies. Nobles, and those who enjoy other pri vileges, are exempt from this measure, it being un derstood that they did not belong to the revolution ary volunteers,. or to the 'militia of the abolished Con stitution, and thtit they have taken no part in the last scandalous revolt of the Principality. corY OF 1 LETTER FROM JOHN COUNT CAN) D'ISTRIA TO THE GREEK NATION. " London, Aug. 26. " At the moment of quitting the Russian capital, I have received, through my brother, the messages which your Excellency did me the honour to address to me, conjointly .with the representatives of the nation, to communicate to me two decrees, one of which places me at the . head of the Greek Govern ment, and the other invests one with power to nego tiate a loan. Ever since the month of May, and since my arrival at St. Petersburgh, the public prints and private letters made me acquainted with the proof of confidence so flattering and . so solemn, which the Greek nation had just given in my favour. 1 will not express to your Excellency and your noble colleagues either the sentiments which the decrees now before me inspire, or the prayers which I offer to the Almighty that he may bestow upon you, gentlemen, and upon me strength to attain the object of the long and bloody sacrifices to which the Creels people have submittdd, and to which it still submits in the hope of a final restoration. For the present, I shall confine myself to giving you an account, in a few words, of what I have succeeded in doing. up to this time, aad in giving you the assurance of my en tire devotio►► to the cause for the future. " On hearing of the catastrophe of Athens, of the pecuniary embarrassment of the Provisional Greek Government, and of the sad necessity which forged it to contract a loan in the lonian Islands, which coula only have sufficed for a few days, I sent to my brother, as my only answer, the remnant of my moderate fortune. I instructed him to take a. portion of that loan, if it had been negociated, or to deposit in the hands of the Provisional Government the sum of 2,000/. sterling, which I have placed at his disposal. At the same time, I proceeded to call on the Greeks, who possessed wealth in foreign ' lands, to follow this example, anti to afford you some assistance. These measures have had some success, and the Provisional Government, in conse quence, is in a condition to meet its most urgent wants, for the moment ; I say for the moment, for I. flatter myself that by the aid of God and your wis dom, the Greek nation will shortly receive more im portant succour. " In the present state of things , this assistance, in order to be effective, ought to have a double object. It ought to draw Greece from its fatal isolation, and put it in contact with the Great European Powers. It ought to procure for it the means of existence and of defending itself, till its Government can intro duce something like order into the external concerns of the nation, and put it in a situation to provide for itself. It is with these two great. interests that I am now exclusively occupied, and with which I will still occupy Myielf when on my Way — to you I pass through Paris. Should Heaven continue to bless my efforts u it has `blessed them up to this day, I .lare indulge the hope, that it.will be merit to offer you some consolation and 'that the Greek nation will not refuse to me the powers which I ask, to regulate, in the legal eterciseof the honourable func tions which it offers me, all the' necessary arrange ments with the Courts which interest themselves in its behalf. • " I will not lose a moment, for time presses from day to day, to decide for Greece the question of life death. Doubtless the event is in the hands of God; but let us not dissemble, that much depend, on you, gentlemen, to render it propitious. Be as sured, such it will prove, if, faithful to the immu table principles of our holy religion, you labour una nimously,and with good faith, for our common safety, some in carrying arms, not only with devotion and courage, but with a perfect subordination to the rules of your Chiefs; others in administering the affairs of the country, for the country, and not for or against particular individuals, or for particular in• terests. " I pause here, and I resign, gentlemen, to your wisdom and your patriotism, the care of weighing the immense responsibility which falls en your heads. I shall have the honour to share it with you, but I hesitate not to repeat here that I cannot share it with you till a f ter y o u shall have heard me, and that I myself s h a ll h ave o b ta i ne d f rom y ou a ll th e confi dence which I wish to inspire.

We have already stigmatised these criminal manoeuvres, and we again denounce them before justice and the public opinion. We give the particulars of our denunciation. The list of our subscribers in the Departments whose names were reprinted, could not have been taken, except from the offices in the street, J. J. Rousseau. Common sense %yin suffice to determine ' whether this fraudulent abstraction, containing se veral thousand names, could have been made with out the participation, or rather without the express orders, of the Marquis de Vaulchier, the Postmas ter-General, or of the functionary who acts fur him, in case he may have set off for the College over which he presides. We have submitted to the inspection of several printers, the printed covers under which the pam phlets were sent to our subscribers, and all thoee skilful persons affirm, that these covers come fr6m the Royal press, directed by M. dc Villebois, Mas ter of Requests. Thus, then, the Marquis de Vaulchier, or his sub stitute, and M. de Villebois, arc either guilty of or accomplices of the acts which we denounce. If they submit to this distinct accusation, their guilt is de monstrated; if they do not avow it, they will bring us before the tribunals; we shall meet them without fear in the presence of justice. (From the Journal des Debats.) PARIS, Nov. 12.—Time flies ! These lines will have scarcely arrived in the distant provinces, when France shall already have begun to decide upon her destinies. The Moniteur cries to-day—" Royalists, stewd firm, it is the fate of the restoration which your votes are to decide !" The .211onitcur tells the truth.i— more truth than perhaps it thinks fur. _ _ The conjuncture in which we are, is too great and too solemn to admit of disguise. 'We shall express all our thoughts, which is, perhaps, the:only mode of doing all our duty. Restorations are, it is well known, laborious en terprises. ' It is attempted to rivet, once more, the chain of time over an abyss,. to establish a throne, heavy with the weight of ages, in the midst of pas sions, of habits, of laws, which have no longer any recollections of • it, but which, instead, have many wants and many wishes. The tree has been broken in two by the lightning ; it is wanted that the muti lated trunk should revive. Restorations have but one mode of establishing and making themselves lasting; that is, to accept things as they arc, to resign themselves to them, in order to lay hold of them, and be at their head. Thus is it, that all restorations commence in this way. But if promises are forgotten; if easy vic tories over engagements made in support of a new state of affairs, embolden persons to aim at greater victories ; if, in the intoxication of prosperity, the councils of the throne, which had agreed to govern the people, such as God and the times had made them, attempt to re-model them to their fancy, and to force them to the system that is gone by ; if at each of their attempts they see, without dread, faith ful servants keep aloof, and mix their loyal griefs with those of the public —a restoration has conducted itself in this way, and we see what has come of it. Restorations, in fact, are as inseparable from the promises by which they are produced as a state is from its laws, as a people from their institutions. When M. de Villele, an obscure gentleman, protests against the Charter, he at the same time protests agains the restoration. When M. de Villele, the head of the Councils of the Crown, perseveres in his unrelenting hostilities against the people and the franchises of the Charter, it is upon the restoration that be makes war. In 1814 the august precursor of the King, who returned to us from the land of banishment, cried, Nothing is changed; there is but one Frenchman more ;" then did he, amidst unanimous acclamations, enter the palace of his fathers. Since then all is changed around us, and an ho nest magistrate, in making his escape from the bonds of blinded power, has pronounced the memorable saying, " The Jesuits are every thing—the liberties of France nothing." The article from which the above is an extract proceeds at great length in the same style, and con cludes as follows : " Electors ! The history of England is before you. You, within ►► fortnight, will create the history of France." ELECTIONS FOR PARIS. We can affirm, in the most positive manner, that the Constitutional electors of Paris have a great majority in all the Colleges, and that never have they exhibited more real, more devotion, or more patriotism. Their choice has been fixed for some days, and their elections will be as follow :—For the 2d College, M. Lafitte, sth College, M. Schoner, 3d Ditto M. C. Perrier, 6th Ditto, M. Ternaux, 4th Ditto, M. B. Constant, , 7th Ditto, M. R. Collard BOROUGH OF MALDON. The adjourned Meeting of the Freemen of this Borough, resident in London, was held last evening at the Crown and Magpie, Aldgate, to learn Mr. Quintin Dick's determination whether lie would stand candidate for its representation, vacant by thu death of the Hon. Mr. Winn. By eight o'clock about 150 freemen had assembled, and some time after Mr. Dick, accompanied by his younger brother, Hugh, Mr. Horace Twiss, and a few other friends, entered, and were hailed with cheers. The chair was taken by Mr. BYGRAVE, who read the resolution to which Mr. Dick had come, drawn up in the form of a motion. It was to the effect that Mr. Quintin Dick being unable to resign the borough of Orford, for which he is at present member, offered to the consideration of the electors on the present occasion, his brother Hugh. This resolution was put to the Meeting, and carried una nimously. Mr. DICK addressed the electors. He regretted that he could not on the present occasion► come for ward; his engagements with the electors who had returned him to Parliament were such, that he could not, consistently with those principles of honour which every gentleman should maintain inviolate, offer himself.—(Hear.) —He could assure them, that his brother's principles differed in nothing from his own—they were true blue.—(Cheers.) —lt was not a desire to advance his family, or gratify ambi tion, that he offered his brother to their notice, but he wished to preserve his connexion with them un broken.—(Loud applause.) Mr. HORACE Twtss spoke at considerable length, and with much animation. He could say for Mr. Quintin Dick, that at the next election he would come forward in place of his brother as their repre sentative.—(Cheers.) Shortly, after, Mr. Dick and his friends left the room, and the Meeting separated. WENTWORTH AND Co.—lt is said that the Assignees of WIENTWORTH and Co. have sold (privately) Mr. AVEzerwoicrn's life estate,at three* and a half years' purchase. This gentleman's income, from landed estates,. has been generally estimated at 16,000/. or 17,0001. per annum, but to avoid the possibility of error, let it he taken at 14,0001. per annum ; and at the time of the sale be was fifty-two years old. Upon such an estimate, and accord ing to the rates of assurance, in public offices, Mr. WENT wortneslife interest, at fifty-two years of age, would be worth eight years' purchase.—And thus, as another instance of gross mismanagement under this unfortunate bankruptcy, the creditors have to console themselves with the following heavy loss on the single transaction of Mr. WENTWORTH'S life estate. £14,000 at Sf years' purchase, would produce...£sl,ooo £14,000 at 8 years' purchase, would produce.. L 112,000 £61,000 Therefore the kiss of 61,000/. thus wasted has accrued to creditors ; besides the loss on the deer, furniture, wine, plate, &c. at Woolley Park. * This is the sum always understood, but taking it at four. /ears purchase, (for we wish to give every reasonable allowance) the loss to the creditors will be 56,0001.—Leeds Intelaveneer.

De spatches from both quarters are momentarily ex- petted, and we have made every arrangement to publish any news which may arrive after the usual hours, in a SECOND EDITION. In our Paper of yesterday we mentioned the receipt of the Gazette de France of Wednesday, and gave a paragraph from it containing intelli gence from Constantinople to the 20th. We perceive that this intelligence is extracted from the Augsburgh Gazette, the fertile channel of communications from the East, the major part of which have proved so incorrect as to lead us to suspect that they were never received from the quarter from whence it has been pretended they came ; and there is so much confusion of dates in the present articles that we suspect they have been manufactured nearer home. One thing, however, seems certain, that is, that Austria has changed her tone, and is striving now, when it is perhaps too late to prevent the effects of herprevious advice, to induce the PORTE to admit of her mediation. A disposition to do so has, it is said, been manifested by the SULTAN, but whether with a sincere intention, or with the sole view of gaining time, remains to be seen. Within forty-eight hours, however, we shall pro bably hear of the effect which the destruction of his fleet has had on the SULTAN, and no further speculation on the subject will be necessary. We are happy also to perceive that the Gazette de France classes under the head of Lies of the Day, the assertion of the Quotidienne, that an affray had taken place at Milo, between the boats' crews of a French and English man-of-war. Catalonia continues the scene of continual disturbances. The Count d'EsPAGNE, on his return to Vich, was attacked almost at the gates of the city by an ambuscade of insurgents, wlio were nut dispersed until some hard fighting had taken place, and they had had 16 men taken prisoners. Proclamations have been issued by the Captain-General for disarming the whole population, by requiring them to deliver every description of weapon to the bailiffs of their re spective villages, under a fine of 100 ducats and two years' spell in the gallies. Surely the noble spirit of the Spaniards will be again roused by this measure, and they will never consent to part with their rapiers to be afterwards butchered in cold blood. The minor papers contain no news. Th e y are full of discussions on the elections, and the unfair means used by the Government to secure the return of their partizans.

BRUSSIELS, Nov. 13.—A letter from Janina, of the 11th October, gives some particulars of the embarrassing situa tion of the Pacha of Romelia,--" The Pacha," says th e letter, "is in the greatest alarm ; he sent his troops no less a sum than 12,000 parses (6,000,000 piastres), and not withstanding his urgent solicitation, the Sultan sends him nothing in consequence ; there are almost daily mutinies among the troops. Not knowing what to do, he has resolved to levy a contribution on the inhabitants, and has begun with Demetrio Athanasio, whom he has taxed at 1,000 piastres. This forced loan will he imposed on all the Greeks of Epirus, Thessaly, and Romelia, according to their fortune. The ruin of the country will be the conse quence of it."

May your Majesty long enjoy their glory and their fidelity ; and may your happiness be henceforth equal to your virtues, and to the universal veneration for your august person. Be pleased, Madam, to acc2pt the medal which the Aca demy is happy and proud to lay at your Majesty's feet on this solemn clay." _ . Her Majesty accepted, with the greatest condescension, the medal presented by the Academy, and the .next day ad dressed the following letter to the Academy : " Alexander SernenoTitsch—When the deputation of the Academy of Sciences, presented by you, delivered to me, yesterday, the offering of that illustrious Society, I was ;so affected by this agreeable and unexpected proof of zeal and attachment to my person, that I was unable to express so strongly as I felt them the sentiments which filled my heart. Desiring, however, that the Academy should be fu,lly informed of the lively gratitude with which I have received this mark of its regard, I beg you to be the organ of it, and to transmit to the Academy the assurance of the sincere in-. terest with which I have, for half a century, observed its useful labours—an interest which I shall always feel in its success, begging God to bless its exertions, and to make them always contribute to the glory and the advantage, of fur dear country.

It is with deep regret that we have to announce the death of his Excellency Major-General Sir NEIL CAMPBELL, Governor of Sierra Leone, which melancholy event took place on the 14th August, at the Government House, after a few days' illness. The particulars of this afflicting event were announced to the Colony by the fol= lowing Gazette Extraordinary, which was im mediately published. Lieutenant-Colonel LuM LEY, the Lieutenant-Governer, immediately as sumed the Government of the Colony, by virtue of his MAJESTY'S Commission. We also sub join some further extracts from the Freetown Royal Gazette, containing the particulars of the life of Sir NEIL CAMPBELL : (From the Sierra Leone Gazette Extraordinary.) Government House, Freetown, Aug. 14, 1827. - - This morning, at five minutes past nine o'clock, departed this life, after a short but severe illness, his Excellency Major -General Sir Neil Campbell, C. 8., Captain-General and G overnor-in-Ch ief. Immediately after this sad event, his Honour Lieutenant- Colonel Lumley, the Lieutenant-Governor, assembled the Members of his Majesty's Council, to communicate to them the afflicting intelligence, and to take such steps as are usual on occasions of the lila melancholy nature. His Honour, in communicating to the public the severe loss the Colony has sustained by this very melancholy event, feels that he cannot adequately express his opinion on the death of so distinguished and valuable an Officer, of whom it may be truly said, that he has sacrificed his life to his never-ceasing zeal and exertion. The following is a statement of the disease of his late Excellency, together with its alarmingly rapid progress, signed by the medical gentlemen who attended him : " After a febrile indisposition of several days, against which he endeavoured to contend, his Excellency Major- General Sir Neil Campbell reluctantly submitted to medical treatment on Monday, the sth instant ; after which period he laboured under the usual, symptoms of remittent fever. On the morning of the 9th, a remission took place, when his Excellency, contrary to the repeated and urgent solicita tions of his medical attendants, entered deeply into public business of rather an agitating nature. On the same even ing the complaint returned, and was shortly followed, by an alarming loss of mental power, which continued, and was accompanied by gradual sinking of the bodily powers, until the morning of the 14th, when his Excellency expired:at nine o'clock. (Signed) " WILLIAM BARRY, " Deputy Inspector of Hospitals. " JAMES BOYLE, " Colonial Surgeon. " W. FERGUSSON, Surgeon R. A. C. Corps." NOTICE. His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor directs, that the Civil Officers put on deep Mourning for six weeks, as a mark of dutiful respect to the memory of their lamented late Governor-in-Chief, Marr-General Sir Neil Campbell, Knight, C.B. deceased. By his Honour's Command, WALTER W. LEWIS, Colonial Secretary. (From the Freetown Royal Gazette of Aug. 18.) The funeral of his Excellency the late Major-General Sir Neil Campbell, our lamented Governor-in-Chief, left the Government-house at a little after two on Wednesday afternoon (the 15th) preceded by a detachment of the Royal African Colonial Corps, and the hand of that regiment.— It was followed by his Honour• Lieutenant-Colonel Lumley, the Lieutenant-Governor, the Members of Council, the Civil and Military Officers, the troops of the garrison, and nearly the whole of the respectable part of the popula tion ; and although the weather was exceedingly unfa vourable, there was a large concourse of spectators. Dur ing the movement of this mournful procession towards the burial ground there were fifty minute guns fired from Fort Thornton, the African, a steam-vessel, and the Prince Regent, East Indiaman. The remains of his Excellency were deposited in a vault, prepared for its reception, about half-past three, with the honours due to officers of his rank. We have been favoured with the; following particulars of the public life of our late Governor-in-Chief, which, we feel confident, will be read at this moment with great interest His Excellency commenced his military career in the 6th West-India regiment, to which he was appointed Ensign on the 2d of April, 1797, and was soon after pro moted to a lieutenancy in the 57th regiment. After serving upwards of three years in the West Indies, he're turned to England, and in 1801 obtained a company iu the Rifle-Corps (then the 95th Foot.) About this time his great abilities began to attract the attention of his superior officers, and, after having been sometime at the Military College, he was appointed Assistant Quarter Master General to the Southern District of England ; in which situation he remained until promoted) a Majority in the 43d regiment, in January, 1805,—from which he was shortly after removed to the 54th Foot. In the month of August, 1806, he was appointed Deputy Adjutant-General to the forces in the Windward and Leeward Islands, with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. He served in the several expeditions undertaken against Martinique, Guadaloupe, &e., in 1809-10. The following extract from Major- General Maitland's public dispatch, dated April 18th, 1809, will show how highly Lieut.-Colonel Campbell's services were appreciated by that gallant officer : " Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell, Deputy Adjutant-Ge neral, has been always forward : he is an officer who must rise by his merit." The following observation also, which occurs in a dis patch from Major-General Harcourt to Sir George Beck with on the capture of Guadaloupe, speaks more warmly 01 his able services : " Guadeloupe, Feb. 7tb, 1810. " Lieutenant-Colonel C am pbell, Deputy Adjutant-Ge neral, merits my warmest a cknowledgments by his zealous services, which have been unremitting; and particularly for hie exertions and able assistance in the affair of the 3d." Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell having returned to Eng..' land in the latter part of 1810, proceeded immediately to the Peginsula, then the seat of war ; having previously resigned his situation as Deputy Adjutant-General to the Forces in the West Indies. IA April) 181 j, he was appointed Colonel of the 16th' ~.. Regiment of Portuguese Infantry, and was actively en gaged in the military operations of that period ; particu larliat the sieges of Ciudad Rodrigo, Badajos, and Burgos, and at the battle of Salamanca. On these occasions, the Duke of Wellington made honourable mention of Colonel Campbell's name, in his despatches of the 20th January and 21st September, 1812. On the retreat of the British army, i❑ 1813, Colonel Campbell, in consequence of severe illness, returned to England. In the month of February, 1813, he proceeded to join Earl Cathcart, at the head-quarters of the Emperor of Russia, in Poland. Here be was employed, along with Sir Robert Wilson and Colonel Lowe, in reporting on the force and military operations of the different corps of the Russian army. Ilis eminent services while in this station are known to all Europe. On the 24th March, 1614, he was severely wounded at Fere Champenoise, in France, as appears from the following despatch from Lord Burghersh, dated March 26th, 1814:-- " It is with the greatest regret I have to announce to your Lordship, that Colonel Campbell was yesterday most severely wounded by a Cossack. Colonel Campbell, conti nuing that gallant, distinguished course which has ever marked his military career, had charged with the first cavalry, which penetrated the French masses. The Cos sacks, who came to support this cavalry, mistook him for a French officer, and struck him to the ground." In June, 1814, he was gazetted Colonel of the British Army ; and subsequently received no less than five different Orders from the crowned heads of Europe, and the honour of Knighthood from his own Sovereign.—After the cam paign of 1815, in which he, as usual, was found at his post, Colonel Campbell retired to private life, covered with honours. On the 27th of May, 1825, Colonel Campbell was ap pointed a Major-General ; and on the 18th of April, 1826, on the lamented demise of General Turner being known in England, was commissioned by his Majesty as Governor in-Chief of these Foseessions. He arrived in this Colony on the 22d of August following : thus having, within a twelvemonth after landing, terminated a life, during which kis zealous exertions were ever devoted to the duties of his profession ; and were more particularly exemplified to our selves in the extended duties which devolved upon him in the administration of this Government, and in the public and private interest he took in all that concerned its trade and commerce, its agriculture, and its foreign and domestic policy with the surrounding nations of the Colony, and our important dependency in the Gambia. We have also the melancholy duty of stating, that Mr. JOIN LEWIS, -the Agent to the Vic tualling Board, at Sierra Leone, has also fallen a victim to that dreadful climate.. He died of the remittent fever, on the 9th, after an illness of. only a few days' duration. Mr. LEWIS had tilled the situation' of Agent Victualler, at Sierra Leone, for four years, during which he. had en joyed health. He was a most respectable man, and a valuable officer, and will be a great loss to the service to which he belonged. In a letter which we have seen written by Mr. LEwts himself to a friend in this country, only a few days before his death, he stated, that the colony had been, on the whole, inure generally healthy than in many of the ,for mer seasons, notwithstanding the excessive se verity of the rains, which exceeded that of all former years. His letter added, that on the 26th August, the quantity of rain which fell in fourteen hours measured, with a proper instru ment and observed by a scientific gentleman, was 11/ inches. In a climate subject to such tremendous rains no European, however strong his constitution, or prudent his habits may be, can be safe for a day ; and we do earnestly hope that; his MAJESTY'S Government will shortly balance the value of the Colony to the Mother Country, against the number of valuable lives which are annually sacrificed to its maintenance, and abandon it altogether unless it can be shown that it is productive of much greater benefit to Great Britain than we have any idea that it is. We direct public attention to a very extraordi nary letter, inserted in another column, respect ing an occurrence which places the state of our Police in a very strange light. Our correspon dent had some property stolen, and on receiving information that part of it—a saddle—had been traced to the possession of a Jew receiver, he applied to the police-officers of Union-hall to take the fellow into custody, which they did. But behold the sequel! No sooner had they touched the Jew, than their fingers became so conscientiously slippery, that instead of se curing their capture in a coach, they allowed him to walk on quite friendly at their side along the populous thoroughfare of White chapel in broad day-light. And for what ? because the pious Jew had religious scruples to . go to prison in a coach 'on .Saturday ! What next ?—Opposite Petticoat-lane, the Jew was rescued by his less scrupulous associates and carried off from the simple officers, who never suspected that the Jews would break their sabbath for a fellow on two wooden legs. Application was made to the Magistrate, but he could never think of hearing a complaint against the virtue of his officers, whose character never stands so s'va.fn)Y imputation that they when could do wrong. We high (honest, es honestdgeor, never yet heard a Police officer's conduct ques tioned, but he rose cent per cent in the Magis trate's estimation. The culprit in the present case was borne off' in triumph, and has since walked across the Atlantic—leaving the. officers to pay his passage, for they mean to charge twenty pounds as a set off' for the prisoner's escape. We wonder what these worthies would charge for his re-apprehension ? It is rather singular that Jews, of all others, should be so slippery in the hands of justice, when Christians have no better chance than Turks ; but perhaps the thing may be accounted for from their peculiar expertness at throwing dust in people's eyes, and as Police officers are but men, they cannot • see better with Jewish dust in their eyes than other persons. Ikey Solontons effected his escape out of a coach, and the officers probably thought the wooden-legged SOLOMON might make his escape by getting in ; so they made sure of him, because he was a Jew who had some conscience—the first they met in their x ~'~ lives. What a lucky fellow to get in clutches !
