TILE LONDON JOURNALS. DAI E3i/ acts from the Moriang l'apers,Aug.l ( 2, 1825. ► {THE PUBLIC LEDGEr..] . I'he Paris Papers of Tuesday contain advices from Zante, dated the 7th ult., which fully con firm the intelligence of the arrival of the Egyptian fleet at .Modon. On the 3d it landed 6000 men at t avarin, and this news is the more inopportune far the Greeks, as, besides the large reinforce ment for the enemy, in men and stores, which it announced, it spews that they do not possess that superiority at sea which is generally supposed. This is the third or fourth time that the same fleet has made the passage from Candia to the ;Nlorea, without any molestation on the part of the 'Greeks, that we have heard of. Ibrahim Pacha, having the sea thus open to him, with the resources of Egypt at his command,cannot have suffered much from want of provisions, particularly as he could besides help himself to the best in a country which he had nearly subjugated. He could draw upon such stores as the Greeks had, for the subsistence of his troops, which, with the supplies he received by sea, mast have been amply sufficient to meet the wants, particularly of an army composed of Arabs, who can support privations, and live on as hard fare as any other people upon earth. These ad vices, though dated the 7th instant, and written by persons friendly to the Greek cause, make no mention of any change in the position or circum stances of the conflicting armies, though they mention in that vague and loose manner, charac teristic of nearly all reports from the same quar ter, that Ibrahim Pasha was surrounded on all sides by the Greeks in the interior of the Morea. But, if he had sustained any overwhelming dis aster, or met with even a serious repulse, in the last days of June, it must have been known at Zante on the 7th of July, where it would have been proclaimed with an enthusiastic joy, cor responding to the warm and generous sym pathy, which the people of that island feel for their Greek brethren in the Morea. We men tion this omission the more particularly, as there are letters in town from Leghorn and Trieste, which, by rather a singular coincidence, are of the same date, and speak in the most confident terms of the total defeat and capture of Ibrahim Pasha. The intelligence was brought to both • places by Captains of merchantmen, who had received it from Greek cruizers. Neither the place nor the date of the engagement is given ; but the fact itself is mentioned with a degree of confidence that would serve to counterbalance this omission, were it not for the silence of the letters from Zante, and for the querulous, almost desponding, tone of the communication from Ge neral Roche, which we laid yesterday before our Readers. From that letter it appears, that the Greeks could muster with difficulty 900 men to repel the attack of Ibrahim Pasha ; and it is therefore improbable that the latter was defeat ed and taken three or four days afterwards. — The improbability of the account is the more glaring, as it is expressly stated, that the Greeks who had been sent to molest him in his retreat s were recalled after they , had proceeded but a short distance. The reason too that is assigned for their recall, is the imminent risk they in curred in continuing the pursuit of so superior at: enemy, and to whose discipline and skill a very reluctant homage is more than once paid. Emoirstsacr POST.; All the arrivals from the Continent yeiterday brought intelligence most gratifying to the friends of liberty, religion, and humanity. They an nounced that the event which our hopes and prayers anticipated had actually occurred, and that the Ravager of the Morea r and the as sassins under his command, had at last received the chastisement due to their cruelties. Sur rounded on all sides, and starving in the midst of the desert which he had created, Ibrahim Pacha was said to have endeavoured to force his way through the defile's which lead in the direction of Corinth, and to have been totally defeated in the attempt,himselfieverely wounded, taken prisoner, and carried to Napoli di F. omania, where he was negociating the capitulation of his whole army. That' this intelligence may prove true to its full extent is our most fervent prayer : —that it is so; there is every reasonable ground of probability to suppose: First, the news has not' come from one quarter only, or through one solitary channel. It Will be seen by our extracts from letters received in town yesterday, that it disseminated:itself at different places and through different agents at the same time. Even Austrian Captains, the last men to believe or to circulate any reports favourable to the Greeks, conveyed it to Trieste; and by the French Journals to the 10th instant, whkh reached us last night by Ex press, we find that it was also brought to Leg horn by a- vessel belonging to the same nation.— The accounts, therefore, cannot be represented as invented and_circulated by the friends of the deserted Brave. They. proceed from those who btsve hitherto displayed the : most determined hos tiiity, towards ti/ern, and. must therefore.have had some foundation in truth which enforced convic tioh, or else' they would have been rejected as usual with contemptuous disdain as long as it was -possible to doubt or-to deny them. Secondly, the critical position of Ibrahim Pacha, after his re pulse at:the. Mills near Napoli, was positively ascertained - :by the clear and authentic Reports of General Roche, and it was such, that the present consummation must appear to every impartial mintinot-its forced, but it.naturatiesult.. Thirdly,. it almost certain that Ibrahim's. next attempt to ex - Li - kale himself, after his failure at Napoli, would be in the direction of Corinth ;. for if he 'succeeded, he wojild have to march through a country as yet uninjured, and full of resources to, :satisfy the ~ants of his army. The isthmus be sides would;iirtie'as a bridge to enable him to fall back; and j'oiti .the Turkish Armies in Greece Proper; whereas, if .he attempted to retreat the -lay he had - come,, he. would have to pass throlfgh, a 'devastated ..track which would yield him, no. , supplsr, and supposing that he .reach ed Navarino, be might find that place blockad ed by the Greek fleet, and himself as completely surrounded and as destitute of resources as wlven he was in the centre of the Morea. To stay where he was, General Roche informed us, was impossible, and besides would have had no object, for he only possessed the ground on which his fatigued, reduced, and provisionless army stood. In a few days he must have surrendered without a blow. It was therefore .necessary for him to endeavour to force the defiles, and to do so in the direction of Corinth, so that all the probabi lities, nay the necessities of the case agree with the preliminary details hitherto received of the reported event. That the Greeks should be able to resist and to repel him in passes perfectly known only to themselves, where the superior discipline of his troops was of no avail, and where they had not only held all the strong grounds with superior numbers, but had long prepared every means of defence and annoyance which could stop and destroy an enemy, is not a thing calculated to excite incredulity. That the im portance of his object and the wish of inspirit ing- his troops may have led him to expose his person in such a manner as to be wounded and taken prisoner, is equally natural. And that the result of a repulse under such circumstances must be the ultimate capitulation of his army, is a matter not of calculation only, but of cer tainty. We therefore trust that an event which means the probabilities and necessities of the ' case at every point—an event which satisfies the claims of human and Divine Justice, and vindi cates the governing Providence of an Almighty God, will shortly be proved to have occurred by the most irrefragable evidence. Hitherto, we admit, we have nothing official. [NEW TIMES.] We have learrkt that a combination of work men not far from the metropolis, who are holding out against their employers, have lately obtained five hundred pounds in a manner which may lead some of the parties concerned into a very un pleasant situation. The committee of the com bination applied to the managers of a benefit club, and, by dint of persuasion, induced the lat ter to commit a direct breach of trust, by selling out of the stocks the above sum of money, con trary to an express regulation of the club, and lending it to the combination. Our informant goes on to state, that the committee who had thus fraudulently obtained possession of the property of the benefit, added the further deception of stating to their own society that the 5001. was not a loan but a gift, to enable them to hold out the longer against their employers. We are in pos session of the names of some of the parties con cerned ; but as legal steps will probably be re sorted to on the occasion, we do not think it ad visable to enter into further particulars at present. We have been called alarmists for, , warning the public at large, and the workmen themselves, of the dangers of combination ; but no one who dispassionately considers the extent to which those dangers have already gone, can deem our warnings premature. We do not refer to the actual murders committed in Dublin, or to the lives lost at Sunderland : our thoughts are principally directed to two measures ut terly destructive of all freedom of contract between master and workmen—we mean the sending itinerant Delegates throughout the coun try to form a combination of combinations, and the collecting funds for the support of this com prehensive system. Except that it is not, at the present moment, directed to a political end, the the system is exactly analogous to the Catholic Association, which Government so wisely put down at the beginning of the last Session. If such an Imperiurn in imperio be permitted to sub sist, it must soon stifle the national industry, and it will easily be led by designing men from com mercial to political objects. EBIIITISH PRESS.] The intelligence received yesterday from the Morea by way of Trieste is highly important, if it he correct, as we belieo. it is. We stated seve ral days ago that Ibrahim Pacha was completely surrounding by the Greeks, and could not escape without an action, which, under all circumstances, must to him have been full of peril. It appears from the letters, of which we give extracts in an other column, that the Egyptian Commander has been made prisoner after having been wounded. The details of the battle are not yet published, but we learn that it took place in the neighbour hood of Corinth. The victory over the Egyptian troopsmust have been of the most decisivecharacter. The Commander-in-Chief, the son of the Viceroy, could hardly have been captured, unless the army had been routed. We may therefore conclude that the danger that menaced the independence of Greece from that quarter no longer exists. The patriots, in that case, have triumphed 'over the last obstacle by which their success was endan gered or impeded. We shall look with anxie ty for the official confirmation of the news conveyed in these letters from Trieste ? The Austrian Observer of the 30th ult. arrived last night. The information it contains from the Mo rea is not so recent as we have already re ceived. It announces; that the advanced posts of Ibrahim Pacha were in front of Napoli di Ro mania, at the place known by the name of the mills. The dispatch we published on Wednesday from General Roche gave us the particulars of the barbarian's defeat, and his subsequent retirement t . upon Tripolizza. A story, evidently untrue, was in circulation that Jussuf Pacha had landed a considerable corps from Lepanto, on the opposite coast between Patras and Vostizza, and that Missolonghi had been taken by storm. Even the Austrian Observer admits that these rumours re quire confirmation to entitle them to credence ; but it adds, by way of consoling the enemies of Greek independence, that the reports of the re taking of Salona by the Patriots, and of the vic tories of Goura, are equally without the slightest foundation. This Journal states, as a piece of certain intelligence, that 64 the division of the Egyptian fleet, commanded by Hussein Boy, con. sisting of nine frigates, nine corve ttes, V. brigs and schooners which had been sent to Candia, to convey to the Morea a part of the Albanians still on the island, sailed on the 23d June from Suda with 50,000 infantry and 800 horse, and steered . together with the fleet of the Captain Pacha to- wards Navarino, near which place the combined fleet, of above 80 sail, was seen at the beginning of July by an Austrian ship. This same ship also met between the Isle of Cerigo and Cape St. Angelo the united Greek fleet under Sach toury and Miaulis." [MORNING CHRONICLE.] We received last night Brussels Papers to the 11th August. That political coxcomb, the Auto crat of the aussias, has, it seems, issued an Edict to compel the Jews to reside in the interior, as they are the persons chiefly engaged in smuggling. So long as the duties on importation are high enough to make smuggling profitable,there will be no want of Christians to supply the place of the Jews, otherwise Russian Christians must be of a very different stamp from all the Christians with which we are acquainted. The traders of the United States do not rank very high in point of principle, but we never hear of their smuggling—and why ? Because the duties are not so high as to make it worth a man's while to smuggle. But this is the way the world is governed. And yet this poor man trotted about the metropolis and Paris— looked at every thing ; and, no doubt, believes what he has been told—that he knows every thing ! We have perused with great interest several letters, dated Trieste, 28th ult. They give most important intelligence, and are, we hope, from circumstances, entitled to some credit. Two ves sels had arrived from the Levant, with nearly si milar reports respecting great successes of the Greeks ; one of them had been spoken by an Austrian vessel off Cape Matapan, the other by a Greek cruiser. The Captains had reported that the Greeks had been completely successful in the vicinity of Napoli di Romania. Ibrahim Paella had found his situation so critical, that he commenced a rapid retreat, but the Greek forces having taken possession of all the passes, he was brought to action, and completely de feated; himself a prisoner, and brought to the capital severely wounded. Both accounts agree in this general outline. We are, however, sorry to state, that the Egyptian fleet had succeeded in throwing in reinforcements into Navarino.— Between five and six thousand men are reported to have landed in the neighbourhood of Nava -1 rino.—(ibid.) LMORNING HERALD.] It is now almost a twelvemonth ago since the unfortunate events in Berners'-street began to at tract so much of public attention ; and which (to say nothing of the awful catastrophe involved in them), brought ruin and distress upon so many individuals. We well remember auguring at the time, the gulph of law and litigation which the affair would become involved in,and the consequent delays and expences which would ensue. Rivalut torneys struggled for the golden prize ; while the creditors looked on with dismay at a prospect, which seems to have been but too fully realized. Only one dividend has as yet been made, and that we believe to no very considerable amount ; the main question as to the right of the Bank Di. rectors to claim as creditors, remains as yet wholly undecided, and seems as if it were not yet put in u train for decision. Now, if there ever was a plain and obvious question, as far at least as the facts connected with it was. concerned, and one therefore which ad mitted of a speedy decision, this, we should imagine, was it. And if the Bank Directors really can persuade themselves to agitate a ques tion in which all the world are against them, surely the sooner it is done, and the matter set at rest, the better. Do not let them, when they have failed, as fail it is supposed they must, have to bear the additional odium attached to their delay and indecision. We do not mean to impute blame to any one ; but surely there must be a fault somewhere, or in the system, which can cause or suffer such delay as this ; and that, while in all probability a mass of individual distress is struggling, and perhaps sinking ,under the conse quences of this extensile arid calamitous event. [THE TIMES The poor seamen of Sunderland, who rather strangely attempted to follow up their " loyal" association by an attack upon the King's peace, and on the persons and property of his subjects, have addressed a letter to Mr. Peel in the nature of a defence of their proceedings. Disposed as we are, in common with the bulk of the na tion, to look with a partial eye at the in terests of that brave and valuable body of men, it would undoubtedly have afforded us much satisfaction to find that they had been able to exonerate themselves from the blame of having provoked by their misconduct the fatal punish ment with which some of their unhappy associates were visited on this recent occasion : but on their own showing the seamen were manifestly in the wrong. What the differences may have been between the ship-owners and the men is beside the present question. Even admitting that the sailors were unreasonable;and that they demanded from the owners what the lat ter would have been unwise to grant, the men had a right to be un. reasonable, they had an undisputed right to make exorbitant claims upon the shipowners, at their own peril—that is, at the risk of being thrown out of employment, and of seeing other seamen supply their places on board the coal ships of Sunderland ; but beyond That express limit the sailors had no right to proceed. Yet what is the statement of their own case, trans mitted to his Majesty's Government ? They re solved to man two boats, and to " invite the men out of the light ships" coming into port, as a means of bringing about an accommodation ; or, in ether words, an unqualified submission on the part of the merchants. Be it so. The boats thus manned to meet the h om eward -bound shipping, by some unaccountable vagary of their cockswains, instead of rowing for the ha rbour s mouth, ran up the river, where none b ut shi p s with full cargoes, and outward bound, were to be met with. These ships, they say, were protected .by the policemen, and ship-owners as petty con stables, armed 'with pistols. Well, what business was that of theirs ? Were the guards on boaru those ships for the purpose of molesting the confe derated seamen—or for any other end but the recu- ray of the vessels and their crews. " An alterca tion" then we are told took place between the men in the boats, and the sailors on board the Busy, " concerning their clandestine manner of going to 44 sea." This is worthy of notice. It seems plain that the altercation must have been begun by the associators, inasmuch as the crews of ships going to sea, and engaged in a serious duty, were not very likely to volunteer a contention with men whom they were neither seeking to advise with nor to controul. But not only were the disaffected seamen originators of the verbal dispute,—the manual outrage which followed, and which pro- 4 duced such sanguinary consequences, was, accord ing to their own acknowledgment, perpetrated by them. From abusing the ship's crew for going to sea " clandestinely,"—that is, without permission from these tyrant rulers,—the loyal associators were" irritated to board the ship!" They "car- ' " ried the ship, and drove their assailants aft." Who were these assailants, we wonder ? Why, the men who were acting honestly in their own defence, and in that of the property intrusted to them : these were the " assailants," who are said, in the tone of a victorious dispatch-wri ter, to have been " driven aft" by the gal lant outlaws that boarded them. It is evi dent that the poor fellows who thus address Mr. Peel have got into bad hands, and are in want of better teaching. Far be it from their country to deal harshly with them ; and far from us to upbraid them with their extreme and ruin ous indiscretion. They are prosecuting what they conceive to be a right ; but they must learn to respect the rights of others, or they will have no security of their own. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, AUG. 11. EXPARTE LUCAS IN RE LUCAS. LORD ANCI.LOR—In that matter of Lucas, I have seen Sir George Tuthill, and without entering into the question of soundness or unsoundness of mind, I am quite satisfied this is a case in which there is no call upon me to grant a commission of lunacy. From him 1 learn that the person is happy, and treated with kindness • and as I conceive this matter of lunacy depends not only on the fact of soundness and unsoundness of mind, but also on that of expediency as regards the happiness of the individual, I am of opinion that at present there is no oc casion for issuing a commission of lunacy. Mr. HORNE—Does not your Lordship think that the peti. tion should be dismissed with costs ? LORD CHANCELLOR—No, Mr. Home : all I mean to say is, that I do not consider myself called upon to issue a com mission ; and I wish, therefore, to say nothing about costs at present. EX PARTE CORBETT, IN RE SIB. G. P. TURNER. The LORD CHANCELLOR decided in this case that the Court had no authority to prevent the access of persons to Sir Gregory, in order to enable him to traverse. He directed, therefore, that Mr. Corbett should be admitted to the lunatic, and that Mr. Corbett should inform his Lordship in a fortnight of the result. EX PARTE CRANE, IN RE DODS, A BANKRUPT. ALTERATION OF A COMMISSION. Mr. HART, previous to opening this petition, which prayed that the commission issued against the bankrupt might be su perseded, stated that he had a preliminary objection to tile commission; which might be sufficient to induce the Court to snpersetle it without going into the other grounds he had to allege. It was admitted on both sides, that the commission had been altered since it had passed the Great Seal. The commission was then handed up to his Lordship under a sealed cover (with an atteStation that it was in the same state as when received by the present from the former solicitor un der the commission) ; and upon the Lord Chancellor examin ing it, he sent for the docket. Mr. HART said, he• did not know how far the alteration might be material, but he thought the Court was bound to vin dicate the sacredness of the Great Seal. The LORD CHANCELLOR—If there be an alteration of but half a letter, the commission shall not stand. Mr. HART then read an affidavit, bringing home the fact of the alteration to Mr. Lester, the former solicitor under the com mission. He had altered the name of Dods to Pod, by ex punging the s. Mr. MONTAGU, on the same side, called upon the Court to vindicate the insult thus offered to it. Mr. CHING, on behalf of Mr. Lester, alleged that the alter ation was an act of inadvertence. Mr. itosE, for the petitioning creditors, disclaimed all parti cipation in the act of the solicitor. The Lola) CHANCELLOR observed, that the simple ques tion was, whether the commission had been altered or not. It appeared to him that it had. His Lordship recommended that the case should stand over till Monday, in order that Mr. Les ter might file an affidavit in explanation. Mr. Ca ma said, that as Mr. Lester could afford no further explanation, it was perhaps superfluous to incur the expence of filing affidavits. The LORD CHANCELLOR—My wish that the case should stand over till Monday is out of regard to the solicitor. It is impossible that the Court can suffer such an act as this, on the part of one of its officers, without some explanation. Delay is desirable on another account; for if 1 were to make an order under my present impression, I might deal more severely with the case than if 1 had more time for consideration. Let the petition stand over till Monday. and let Mr. Lester in the mean time consider whether he will file an affidavit or not. EX PARTE DAVIS IN RE GARRETT. This was an application to dismiss a very ponderous petition for impertinence. Mr. HART wished to know whether he was to read through the petition, or point out those parts only which contained im pertinence. A conversation then took place, from which it appeared that this case came before the Court on an order for rehearing given by the Vice-Chancellor, and that new matter had been intro duced. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that the rule of the Court was, that an appeal from the other Court could only be heard upon the matter produced before the Court below ; and that a rehearing before this Court, after the introduction of new matter, could only be had with the permission of his Lord ship. The Vice-Chancellor had no authority to direct a re hearing of a case before his Lordship after the introduction of new matter; the Vice-Chancellor, and all the bar together, could not compel him to hear such a case; and lie would not hear it. The case stands over. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, AUG. 11. ritIME AND OTHERS versus THE ASSIUNEES OF MARSH, STRACEY, AND co. Mr. HORNE said he appeared on the pact of the plaintiff in this case, which had been part heard, and was ordered to stand over, to enable his Honour to refer to the books of the partner ship. The question which the Court was called upon to decide was, whether any money had been paid into the banking-house of the late Mr. Fauntleroy on account of the trustees of Col. Bellis ? His HONOUR. said, he had attentively examined the cash book and the receiving day-book, but he found it impossible to trace the sums said to have been paid in on account of the trus tees. lie found the entries, but nothing further. It was im possible, therefore, to determine whether any cash had actually been paid into the bank. Mr. Mmeracits said that the entries had been made fn such an intricate manner by Mr. Fauntleroy, that it would be impos sible for the most acute accountant to unravel them. His HONOUR said that he was quite incompetent to the task. He therefore directed an issue, to try whether any and what sums had been paid into the banking-house on behalf of the trustees of Colonel Bellis : the issue to be tried in the sit tings after Michaelmas term. --------- There is now in the London Docks, on board the Jones, Capt. IticnAaoso:v, from New Or leans, an Alligator near four feet. long, and which it is supposed will arrive at thrice its present dimensions. It is about seven months old, and was caught on the Banks of the Mississippi.— All attempts to tame or render it docile have proved in vain ; and on its being disturbed, by approaching the cage in which it is confined, it makes a noise, and appears eager to commence an attack. It is to be removed to the menagerie in the Tower. A REPRIEVE ai a CRITICAL MOMENT• (From an American Journal called the Brookville Ildirsa • Inquirer.) Samuel Fields had been convicted of the crime of murder, and sentenced by the Court to be executed. On Friday last, the 27th of May, the Sheriff of this county , pursuant to the sentence of the Court, at about twelve o'cloc t, opened the prison door, and exhibited to public view one of th e most awful spectacles the human eye could have beheld—it was Fields. He was lifted by four or five men upon a platform' erected on a waggon, and seated in a recumbent chair, whi ch was considered necessary on account of his bodily debilitatio n. A procession was formed, and the waggoner drove towards the place prepared for his execution. He was clad in white, the usual habiliment. The old man, with snow white locks, and a countenance that had lost its expression in wrinkles, whcir manly frame had been visited by 86 winters, and whose candle of life was just flickering out, was conducted through a synlio; thetic throng of thousands to the gallows. Here he was ha lt ': in the midst of three or four thousand people, who assemble" to witness the solemn scene. The Rev. Augusta Jocelyn rose and delivered an eloque nt and and appropriate sermon, and then stated that he had freqac i " conversed with the old man during his confinement, and thel he had always found him duly penitent. Some well adapt.% remarks were made by the Rev. Mr. —, and divine serv ic ' was then concluded. The Sheriff told the prisoner " lie 06 but 23 minutes to live." At this time all was in readiness to suspend the old man, the rope round his neck and made fast to the gallows. Every eye was rivetted ott the unfortunate objec in breathless expectation. At this crisis a noble feeling P er , vaded the whole assembly—the impulse of humanity were 0' sibly depicted in almost every face. Even at this moment, the numerous multitude beheld in Fields all that was characteristic of a brave, patriotic, nr2 A effective officer of the volition, and a man who had fough t $7,, bled in support of our institutions, and had wasted the fin/ I ' of youth in conquering and dispelling the enemies of our cons mon country, and who, for the first time in so long a life, I's, been charged with crime—forced by human authority to exPc e nothing but to meet his God ! No pardoning power was known to be present, willing to in` terpose between the veteran and the grave. At this critical juncture, just as the Sheriff was about t o P€ r 1 form his duty, his Excellency James B. Ray, Acting 14°/ ‘ - ' 1 nor of the State of Indiana, appeared, addressed the pr iscin " in words to the following purport— of " Samuel Fields! You have been convicted of the crime rt murder by a jury of your country, and sentenced by the u d, to be executed on this day.
