THE MURDER AT COLCHESTER. • TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Six,--4 have' read with the greatest surprise an account of a murder at Colchester, by a person (for what reason I cannot imagine) who has assumed niy same. To prevent the public•from supposing that I am capable of so atrocious and cruel an act •as that with which the prisoner stands charged, I beg to observe that I never heard of, nor have I the slightest knowledge of any .person of the same name as myself, and that I have not been out of Lon don for the last month. • . • I avail myself of this opportunity of saying that I, have marls up my mind to give up. fighting, having taken the City Of London public-house, in Berwick-street, Soho; and where, I hoPe, by strict attention to business and general gond conduct, to be enabled to obtain an honest livelihood. Your early insertion of this letter will much oblige, • Sir, with great respect, Your's very obediently, REUBEN MARTIN. City of London, Berwick-street, Soho. VAGRANT ACTS. SlR—Change seems the order of the day—and the spirit of innovation gathers strength; vices quirit eunda—within the last ten years there is scarcely one' of the laws which govern the poor man's conduct that has not been tampered with. An old country 'Magistrate of twenty years' standing has' had not only to obtain an acquaintance with in numerable new statutes, but to forget the law he conscientiously digested in his mind before he began to act, and remodel the principles of his practice. But he is not safe, what is law to-day may be illegal to-morrow—and there is, I think, every reason to apprehend, that the pruriency for legislation, the silly ambition so many legislators feel, to be the putative fathers of an Act of Parliament, will be rather more than less prevalent in the course of the next session. It is with this anticipation, I take the liberty of so liciting your attention to the following remarks : The Vagrant Act, as a matter of necessity, -must be tither-re-enacted in its present shape or remodel led —or, in consideration of its utter deficiency, re jected altogether, to give place for an entirely new one. I solicit the attention of your readers to this legislative curiosity ; whilst it is at the same time vague and defective, it opens - the door in some of its provisions to the most arbitrary and oppressive con duct on the part of the Magistrates.- It perpetually refers to the intention of the offender, and measures the degree iu which he is submitted to the mercy or severity of his judge by that intention, respecting which that Judge alone is todecide. But will it be believed ? by the 9th sec. Justices after committing judicially a poor creature as a vagrant, may compel persons to enter into recognizances to prosecute the wretch at the ensuing sessions, it may be nearly three months after; and the public purse is loaded with the - exp - ences. I cannot trespass longer on your columns by dwelling on the' incongruities of this act. I suppose the late Jury Act, and the consoli dation of the Criminal 'yaw, will have several off-sets. in the shape of little bills, to amend -and explain— and then with each a knot of these, they will be de- • lightfully lucid. The mail) object of this letter is'to notice the pre sent law as it redresses assaults, or rather as it fails to redress then]. , . licensing , • The steeper of li atenouses will he, I sup pose, another 'puddle, in which there will be some voluptuous rolling. E. J—, a poor destitute woman, is brutally as saulted and beaten. ;She applies to a magistrate for a warrant ; it may be, she dwells six or Seven miles from his residence. On a cold rainy day she goes • to him, tells her story, and after being necessarily detained a considerable time, till the information anal warrant are drawn, she pays the clerk two Shillings . for the precious precept, and gives it to the con-• stable of her !township, who must have . a shilling in. hand for • executing it ; at the appointed time she returns to the Justice, who with the best intern Lions in the world, can only hold the offender in sereties . for 'his appearance at the ensuing Quarter Sessions. In the mean time the constable is entitled to 6d. per mile ferhis attendance with his prisoner, which the poor woma n must pay, for it Would be hard in 'that die offender shOuld pay when -a jury May: eventually acquit. Thus a poor injured creature iS - sit or seven shillings our of pocket, andhas lost two dap, and incurred fatigue and trouble, when probably her earnings are only tirL per day. Well, hut her redress is at hand—she can indict at the Sessions. The Sessions may be twenty or thirty miles flom her botoe, and the witnesses poor as her . - , self. It may be, she obtain,s money poftigh to convey them and• herself to where the Sessions are held. Then conies the 'necessity of employin,..re an attorney and counsel, if she mean to succeed,' Well ! this also is OvercOme. • And the' culprit is regularly tried and convicted.

Who does tint see inrall this a pompous troublesome hUmbug. Sir, • every' acting Magistrate sees the most shameful instancesof the WeakoppiesAed and' injured by. 'the brutal and strong, • and laments - his want of pOwer to award a pronipt recompense anif redress to - the injured party. , brutality of Manners and conduct is much encouraged by the present state of the law—particularly among the lowest orders, and by the want of a sufficient protection against personal violence. At present.we hear much of the Increase of crime, and the criterion is the increased lumbers of prosecutions and convictions for felony, Sir, this increase leads to a very fallacimiS conche; , i i ore Any one who is accustomed to attend Courts d Justice cannot avoid being struck with the num ber of trumpery prosecutions that are tried.— Hundreds, - nay thousands of cases, now are tried, which formerly never - found their way into Court, and why ? because the. County allowances are so liberal that police officers and rascally attornies make a job of them ; no sooner is a petty theft com mitted, than a keen nosed police b off ore er s iccents out the thief, his charges are allowed ef the Magistrate, he makes a profit by hhejOtirney with the poor rogue to the 'County town.---he Can find twenty petti foggers who will frank the prosecutor for the County allowance, and they all - get a jolly trip together to the Sessions Assizes to see the bill throWn out.

FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de Fraiee, Nov. 28.) VIENNA, Nov. 17.—According to accounts from Constantinople of November 3,.it ispresumed here that the Divan will not use any reprisals in con sequence of the catastrophe' at Navarin, and that in the end every thing will be arranged according to the Convention of July 6, 1827. • PARIS, Nov. 27,--We have already remarked how' fOreign the discussions of figures, in which the Journals indulge to confute the division of suf frages in the approaching Session, are to the real question, and . unworthy the gravity of a Legislative Chamber. We accordingly disdain to take up one by one the votes reckalted by those Journals, to shew them the error of their calculations, and to reduce, by more than one-third, on the whole of the elections, the lists which they publish with so much assurance. This would . seem to ns indecor- Otri with respect to the Deputies elected, and mean, in comparison with the interests which are confided in them. We shall leave the wrong to Journalism, which is still busy about the Electoral Urns, till the day when all these lies will expire before the Legis lative Urn. The Gazette enters into' some further discussion, which it concludes by saying : . . " In support of . these arguments we ivill ask the Constitutionnel only' for one trial, from which it ~ vottld be impossible for it to come off with honour. It is, to submit its number of this morning, for instance, to the consciences of all the Deputies whose names it,places on the list, and we engage before hand; to leave on it all those who should decline, on their honour; that they approve the factious appeals which that number contains. On the other hand, it will permit us to strike off all the names of the newly elected Deputies who should reject with horror such doctrines and such. language.'! • We have calculated that, in the Colleges of the Arrondissements, there were 127 Royalists of all shades to 136 Liberals of all shades, from the latter of which• 27 double returns were to be deducted. Their remain, besides the 263, the two Deputies of Corsica not yet chosen. To-day, in the Great Colleges, we have 44 . Royalists and 13 Liberals. _ The account at present, therefore, stands thus :- 178 Royalists to 122 Liberals. (From the Journal des Debats.) PARIS, Nov. 26.—The Count de Peyronnet, Keeper of the Seals, was at once . candidate for Bordeaux, his native place, and for Bourges, where his duties as Procureur-General, had made him known, and where his son-in-law, the Marquis D'Alon, is Prefect. His Lordship, in 1824, was elected in iboth departments. This time he took care to declare at Bourges, in an official pamphlet, that having received the King's orders, he promised to fix his election for the Cher. It is seen that the Cher has not taken advantage of this favour. Neither has his Lordship - been elected at Bordeaux. It is asserted that the Ministry, in its great solicitude for the election of M. de Peytonnet, and in its just fears of his failure at the College of liourges, enjoined se veral Prefects to nominate him as a candidate in a College of their respective departments. (From the Constitutionnel.) PARIS, NOV. 26.—One is inclined to smile in scorn on still reading in the papers in the pay of M. de Villele that the Ministry will preserve a majority in the Chamber, which meets on the sth of February. If there is at present one thing clear and evident, it is the moral improbability of finding among the new Deputies a hundred favourable to the deplorable sys tem we have had the misfortune to be governed by for the last six years. The Arrondissement elections have irrevocably decided the question : the Depart mental ones can only add the conviction we have of the fact above stated. M. de Villele and his hire lings are so convinced that they speak against truth, that for several dayspast the President of the Coun cil has determined; on sacrificing the greater part of his colleagues and creatures, in the silly hope of. con structing a new Administration, of which himself should be the head, and which have in its support the majority of legislative votes, such as it will shew itself at the opening of tbe Session. It requires all the tenacity and pride of' M. de, Villele to dare to conceive such' projects. Let us examine the present state of Ministerialisin. ft is clear .that in dissolving the Chamber M. (1 Villele completely deceived himself; - and that, in the eyes of his partisans, he . has committed the greatest fault the party had to fear; 'a fault, in short, so capital that nothing hereafter can repair/ The Mi nitry havingso grossly deceived itself in a decisive measure, where their interests were so .much. at stake, will continue to blunder on from 'one fault. to. another; one fall 'will succeed- another, till the time, which, is assuredly not far off, when it will become annihilated : this is an inevitable . consequence .of human weakness. . How is it possible, in such a situation, at the moment }leis vainly struggling with: the death„ that, is about to master him--how ,is it possible that M. de : Villele should find men silly or stupid enough .to join themselves to a corpse ? In order to seduce those he wishes .to deceive, in de ceiving himself, M. de Villele will not fail to affirm his ardent love for the Constitutional Charter, his sincere and absolute devotion to the public liberties; but this will be now too late. M. de Villele is discredited, in the eyes of his own people, by the enormous fault he has committed. The experience of six years—tke Charterviolated, the laws despised, the Censorship revived, the celebrated proclamation of Toulouse—allow none to give credit to his promises or. believe his protestations P • all France has pro nounced its judgment, and has repudiated M. de Villele. Cuss he find any persons sufficiently cor rupt to replace those be intends to separate himself from ? Who would consent to transform themselves into politicid puppets, to play the part of a hat, to enter into an Administration that would be shame fully overthrown the very day on which the Cham ber discusses the Address, in answer to the Speech from the Throne ? . Two truths are. undeniable. The present Mi niqry7Cannot stand even till the opening of. the. Ses sion,:and.a new Ministry, modified with M. de Vil lele, is impossible. It is needless for. M: de Villele to combat facts so plain—he must bew to them. Nothing in the world can now maintain him where he is, not even cannon loaded' with grape fired in the streets of Paris. - - • . _ The system of violence has not yet been quite abandoned by . all the soldiers of the gendarmerie.— The fact we are about to relate proves how neces4ary it is to dismiss from that body the men who make use of their aims, not to protect, but to oppress their fellow-citizens. Yesterday (Sunday) at half-past eight in the morning, four gendarmes, who were to escort the carriage of prisoners leaving La Force, made their horses curvet, to keep the curious at a distance. A well-dressed man coming out of la rue du Roi de Sidle, to enter that of des Ballais, quickened .his step to get out of the horse's way ; a gendarme, thinking he did not get out of the way quick enough,.gallopped his horse up to him, and thus knocked him down. ' The Andignant citizen raised his voice to complain—the gendarme laid his band upon his sword, and threatened to strike him with it. The expression of indignation which ani mated all the spectators of this outrage, enraged the wretch the'rnore; but one othis comrades restrained him from doing harm by. his bitter reproaches., MELANCHOLY AND ItEYOI 4 TING CONSE- QuEN cEs or A COACH ACCIDENT.---It is our painful duty to notice some circumstances of brutal villany attending this accident, by which Hr.

An Express has arrived from Constantinople, with letters of the 7th of November. After the DIVAN had deliberated, they asked permission to "extend the time for their final answer to the 1 lth; at the same time they assured the Allied Ambassadors that no harm should befal them or any of the Christians. Government have reeeived Despatches this' morning from Constantinople, dated the Gth, at which time things remained in the same un- settled state. We extract the following from the Gazette de France, dated yesterday : AuGSBURC, 'NOV. 19. The Gazette Universal contains the following ab stract : • CONSTANTINOPLF, NOV. '7. The Porte has taken a strong resolution, which has caused all incertitude to cease, which lasted .for eight days, 'and agitated the capital. The Battle of Navarin so greatly agitated the Sultan, that, no person could get near him for 12 hours. The Reis . Effendi at length was admitted, and on the 3d the Dragomen of the Ambassadors appeared in great consternation. He asked them why they acted against all and told them that the Porte regretted having lis tened a moment to their insinuations, and the pro rniies of the Allied Ambassadors, it is assured that the treaty with the Allied Powers, as well as the conven tion of Akermann, is declared void and null ; and that the Porte breaks off all communication with the Ambassa dors:, but considers the Ambassadors protected by tlte IL-10sta anstione. and meattres their safety. Taxis. was communicated to the Austrian Ambassador. Every moment an order is expected front the Sultan to order a general armament, and the. Prophet's standard to be hoisted on the mosque of Saint Sophia. CONSTANTINOPLE, 6 AT NIGHT Nothing yet has transpired as to the decision of The Di_ van, and the resolution of the Sultan, The Ambassadors of the three Powers are still here, and peace is main tained; several versions are circulated on the advice given by the Divan, but it will be imprudent to give credit to them. M. Ottenfels is still working to open new nego. - - ciations under his mediation. We can assure that on the 7th none of the resolutions which the German Papers have given had taken, place, and it is in a second Divan all measures wi4.be adopted. • The Dutch Papers to the 29th inst., • which reached us last night, contain intelligence from Constantinople, which, though not :of later date than the despatches from our Ambassador, viz., the sth lust, furnishes s ome interesting par ticulars, and communicates the fact that both the SULTAN and his Minister, the REIS EFFENDI, are obstinately determined to resist the wisheS of the Ambassadors' of the Allied Powers. Baron , OTTENFELS, wlio is said to have misunderstood in the first place the instructions of Prince METTERNICH, continued to advise conciliatory measures ; ; in; the mean time every thing was prepared for the departure of the Ambassadors, who had sent on board ship the Archives of their Legation, on The receipt of the news of the destruction of the fleet at Navarin. It is stated, in an article from Bucharest, of the .7th that the SULTAN had declared, tiotwithstandin , o .the destruction of his fleet, that he would not now hear of an intervention or pacification. The following are extracts from these papers : CONSTANTINOPLE, NOV. s.—(By way of Augsburgh, b y express.)—nn°the let of this month news was received here, that the Allied Admirals, in consequence of the con tinuance of Ibrahim's operations in the interior of the Althea, had resolved to attack and to destroy his fleet at Navarin. Both have been done, and the fleet no longer exists. The -Divan endeavoured to keep the bad news secret ; but the report spread like wild fire. The Govern ment, however, took energetic measures to maintain tran quillity, and up to this time order has, in fact, been pre served, with thti exception of some few assemblages of people. These endeavours of the Porte to- preserve tran quillity clearly prove that it is sensible of the danger of the moment, and of the consequence which' might ensue froma rising of the populace against the Franks. The Ambas sadors of the Allied PoWers are Still here, and the Mistrial Minister, BarorrOttenfels, continues to advise conciliatory measures, notwithstanding the resistence of the Reis Effendi. Meantime, every thing is prepared for the departur e of the three Ambassadors. BUCHAREST, Nov. 7.—Accounts from Constantinople 4,f the 2d November, received ber.i, say, that an English ship bad arrived from the Archipelago, which brought to tlr. Stratford Canning the first news of the burning of the Turkish and Egyptian Peet at Navarin. The English, French, and Russian Ambassadors are said to have here upon se9t the archives of their legations on . hoard this s hip e aga u ilmntasentdiately declared, that notwith for safety. .Nome hours later, the Porte also received this without having yet adopted.

Our Allgemeine ..Zeitung ,:l t he head of C onsta n t i nop l e , Octob er ,2s ? an iVeth.uuder 1 account of the strength of the Ottoman fleet, as it was before the battle of Navaria. It neatly agrees with that given by the Austrian Obser ver, a month ago, but makes the total number 89, and not 92. We see, frotwthis statement, that the Egyptian fleet had 1600 guns. Twenty-eight of their ships bad crews organized on the European system. Vice-Admiral Letel liers, a Frenchman, was on board the ship of A/ohareni Rey, the Egyptian Admiral, son-in-law to the Paella of Egypt. On board the other Egyptian ships there were eight French staff officers, to superintend the manoeuvres:' [lt should seem, from Admiral de Rigny's account, these left the fleet before the blew was struck.l It is generally asserted' among the European diplomatic body at Pero, that Baron Ottenfels had received a despatch from Prince Metternich so far back as the 22d of September, in which the refusal of that Ambassador to join in the late step taken by the three AMbassadors at the Porte is disap proved.- The Internuncio, it is said, on receiving this des patch, visited his thiee Colleagues, and declared to them that he had misunderstood his former instructions, and that 1w was now ready to second their efforts in future, to the 'utmost of his power. - At the same time, he (as we have before heard) sent his ,Dragontan, M. Von linszar, on the 9th October, with a note contaising the most urgent exhor ,tations and warnings to.the Porte no longer to remain deaf to the voice of friendship and reason. AMSTERDAM, 27.—Exchange on Lon:ion, 1 1. 95. to 11. 92i. ; Two Months, 11. €i'l:. to 11. 90: We received last night the Paris Papers of Tuesday, and the Gwreite de France dated. Wednesday morning. They are entirely filled with observations upon the state of the Elections —a Subject which absorbs- every other consideration, and - places political news in the back ground. The. Gazette-de France affects to treat with diS dein the enumeration , of the opposite parties made by the other journals, and goes so far as to assert that the returns stand thus-178 Royalists to 122 Liberals, after abating.from the latter 27 double returns. The , Journal des Debuts, however, states distinctly, that on Mon day evening the known result of the Election up to that time was 192 Opposition Members, and. only 103 Ministerial. We have only, however, to wait a few hours longer, and all doubt on the subject will be at an end. Sufficient . is already known to convince us that the Chamber of Deputies must be Liberal, and whether M. VSLLELE has a few more co a:few less partizans signifies not. The national feeling has been shewn, and it must be attended to in the Chamber. The Gazette de • France has a paragraph dated Vienna 17th inst., which states, that ac cording to accounts from Constantinople of the 3d November, it is presumed at Vienna that the Divan will not . use any reprisals in consequence of the catastrophe' at Navarin, and that in the end every thing will be arranged according to the Convention of the 6th of July.

' NEWS FROM" THE ARMY IN GEORGIA. General paakewitich:sendsthe following particulars re specting tlie.taking-of Erivan : After the reduction of the fortress of Sardar AUad, Ge neral Pasketvitsch, with the principal corps of the army under Isis command, marched towards Erivan. Having arrived on the 6th October before the walls of thst,city,•he canned the trenches to be opened on the, night 'of the '76. During a siege of six days, the works were carried on with great activity and skill, and a 'battery erecteJ, which on the 12th had done great daniage in the 'place. The enemy already terrified by the news of the unex pected reduction of Sardar Ahad, were thrown into con sternation by the effect of our bombs and cannon, as well as by the constant and intrepid attacks of our troolis. On the - 19th October, when the united battalions of the Impe rial Guard bad mounted the breach, the inhabitants hn plored the.elemency of the conquerors, and the garrison, which till then had ,defended itself vigorously; and only a few moments before was still fighting desperately, laid . down their arms and surrendered prisoners of war. Thus this fortress, which till this time had resisted the efforts of all those who had attempted its conquest, and which was considered in Asia as impregnable, - and 'as the strono-est.bulwark of Persia against Russia, has been taken by the valour of our victorious troops with almost incre dible rapidity. This important conquest, for which we are particularly indebted to favourable circumstances, and to the distin guished talents of our Commander-in-Chief, has hardly cost us auy loss. Among the prisoners are the Governor of the fortress. of i Erivan, the celebrati4 HaiSan - Khan, brother of the Sar dar of Erivan, • some of the most distinguished 'khans. three battalions of the flower of the SartZasim troops in the army of Abbas Alirza, in all three thoasand men. We found in the fortress thirty-five cannon, two howitsere, eight mortars, four standards, 1,500 poods• of powder, a great quantity of ammunition, a considerable part of the treasures of the Sardar, and 1 0,000 chetwerts of corn. The army which has increased the glory of the Rus sian arms by the taking of Erivan, has at the same 'time set an example of the spirit, order, and subordination which characterises it, notwithstanding the incredible hardships and'multiplied privations endured by our troops - during this campaign, and though the inhabitantS and garrison had . surrendered at, discretion, not the slightest- disorder was committed, and the tranquillity of the city was not dis turbed for a moment. This laudable conduct gives them just claims to the favour of theit: august Sovereign. ARCHANCYL,. OCT. 25.

Nov. 26•—An Austrian Cabinet Messenger, with des-, patches for Loudon, h as passed through here. packet brig, Dove, has arrived His Majesty' s with mails from Bueno3 Ayres and Rio Janeiro, of later date than those received yesterday. Th e Dove sailed- from Buenos Ayres on the 28th of August, from Monte Video on the 31st, and from Rio Janeiro on the 28th of September. FROM THE BRITISH PACKET PRINCE, AT BUENOS AYRES, RECEIVED BY THE DOVE. Gen. Alvear has addressed a Proclamation to the inha bitants of the Banda Oriental, on his retiring from the command. FROM inntezcq, JULY 27. Several English gentlemen at Buenos Ayres are engag ed in the very laudable undertaking of establishing a Philanthropic Fundi. for assisting those of their country men who may need it from sickness, accidents, or other causes. The necessity of :such an undertaking is self evident, when it is considered ! there are above 4,000' Englishmen in the city of Buenos Ayres and its vicinity, a great pot tion of whom are mechanics and labouring men, without an hospital or charitable institution to apply to. . Several decrees and documents have been published ; amongst them is the prohibition to export gold and silver under heavy penalties. The, following clause appears re lative to passengers, who shall be only allowed, to take, with them to the amount of 50 dollars; and seamen, whether belonging to vessels of war or merchantmen, four dollars. An order, directed to the Collector-General, is addressed by the Minister of Finance, to carry these regulations into force. The Buenos Ayres American of the 3d of Aug. contains the particulars of the two" projects of laws submitted to Congress by Government. The following is the outline :--The President of the Republic is empowered to negociate a loan within the territory of the State for five millions of dollars. For the security of this credit, the public laud and city edifices throughout the State, are mortgaged, without prejudice to the law of the 15th of February, 1426. For the pay ment of . the said, sum .the general revenue, rents of leased land throughout the Republic, and the . product of the war impost, which the following larticles designate, are amenable ; all produce and manufactures, whether national or foreign, that may, be exported for the provinces:of the interior, and Campayna, of Buenos Ayres, shall ,pay, on leaving. the city, 4 per cent. ;' all produce and manufactureS which may be imported 'into the, provinces of the State, and are mot expressed in the following articles, shall pay 6 per cent.; Yorba mate, tobacco, cigars, wine, and vinegar, pay . 10 per cent.; spirituous liquors and cot-, dials, 20 per cent. ; the impost to be calculated on the wholesale prices' amount.
