FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Etoik, dated Thursday.) PARIS, SEPT. 21.—The Bayadere French cor vette has sailed from Toulon to make a cruise in the Mediterranean, for the instruction of 30 pupils of the Angouleme, that they may hare an opportunity of adding practice to theory. The corvette arrived at Genoa on the 10th, whence it will sail to visit the other Coasts of Italy. • The Court of Assizes at Rouen is now engaged the affair relative to the events which took place on the 6th and Bth of August in the corn- Jamie of Hou ime. In its sitting of the 6th of September,. the Aca demy of Medicine received from the Minister of of the Interior a communication of great import ance, as it points out a grievous defect in medicinal education. Dr. Dariste, who has Nang practised medicine in the Antilles, has tad occasion to remark, that deaths by poi sea increase there in a most, alarming manner, white the tribunals are in general unable to prove them for want of physicians qualified to decide in such cases. This want or knowled g e iii mem bers of the profession is the more lamentable, as in most cases it favours impunity of crime, and may sometimes cause the condemnation of in nocent persons. M. Dariste therefore conceiv ed the idea of sending physicians - possessed of proper knowledge; and at his instigation, Messrs. Orifala, Caventon, Pellitan, and Pelletier have addressed to the Minister of the Interior a letter, in which, after stating what they have learned from Dr. Dariste, they say that France cannot supply the wants of the colonies, because it possesses so few men versed in toxicology and forensic medi cine. The only thing that can be done at pre sent would be to found a special school of legal toxicology, in which some pupils, from whom previous knowledge should be required, might study for two or .three years, to be afterwards employed in the colonies or attached to the royal tribunals in the departments. Two professors and a preparer would suffice for this school, and a dozen pupils might be admitted annually. The Academy has not come to any decision.

W.—The speedy ter mination of the Greek insurrection is again an nounced with the same confidence as the last four years, and under circumstances equally favour able to the Greeks, and ♦ery few persons venture to express any doubts. The most unfavourable re ports for the Greeks come to us from Smyrna ; ac .cording to these, the Moreotes desert, Colocotroni io unable to assemble any army. Napoli is desti tute of all means of defence ; and Missolonghi, which within a short time has been thrice stated to be conquered, ig now declared to be certainly on the point of falling. All these statements, however, have been so often repeated, that they may very well be left to tite Oriental Spectator alone, were it not the duty of the nar rator to communicate all accounts, whether the news is favourable to the Greeks or the Turks. Bad as was the situation of the Greeks before the middle of Jane, or as it may now be, it is remarkable that no new military event, no fact is communicated with which we were not previously acquainted. This circumstance rouses the hopes of the Greeks here, even without the effect produced on their minds by the appa rently decisive system of England, which seems really now to have embraced the part of the Greeks. The latest accounts, even those from the Consuls, agree, that Commodore Hamilton, commanding the British force in the Archipelago, who has collected his squadron About Hydra, Spezzia, and Napoli di Romania, encouraged the Greeks to resist,and even assisted them on many occasions. Here, indeed, it is said, that the British Government has acted iu this manner 9n account of its subjects who are in terested by the loans (which, indeed, would be the best excuse of this conduct, which affects the re- Aations of several Powers, and will strictly lead to serious discussions between the European Powers.) That this mode of proceeding is therefore founded on financial, rather than political views, and many persons think that the appearance of the British squadron is rather to be considered as a kind of • iaockade, and perhaps as a last means to get pos. session of certain fortresses, by way of security. WEIGHTS, MEASURES, MONIES, &C.--The 'New Law for regulating British Weights and Measures, which is to commence on the Ist of January next, will he found fully explained in the Second Edition of TuE UrfivxusAr.

BOW-STWEST.—Perry, the officer, in pursuance of the in structions which he received from Mr. Mr, wsuur.r. on Thurs day, to execute the warrant against Mr. Clement, the proprietor of the Morning Chronicle, in such a way as net to inconvenience that individual, called on that evening at the office of the paper, and left a message for Mr. Clement to attend at 12 o'clock yes terday, that being the - hour appointed by Mr. Minshull for the hearing of the case. Perry was then told that 'Mr. Clement was so ill as to make it extremely unlikely that he could attend in person, but that at all events the charge would be met by some one as his representative. Mr. V. Dowling, one of .111 r. Clement's literary establish- 1 ment, appeared as the representative of that gentleman, and be- ' fore the arrival of Mr. Martin, or of Mr. Adolphus, who was to attend as counsel for the defendant, he informed Mr. Minshull that Mr. Clement was so exceedingly ill with a gouty affection, as to be unable to leave his room, and that of course he was quite incapable of attending here to-day. Mr. Adolphus came i:i at 12 o'clock, but Mr. Martin had not arrived, and the Learned Gentleman went away on other business, for half an hour Meanwhile Mr. Martin entered the office, in his usual bustling manner, and was informed of Mr. Clement's indisposition. What ?" said the Hon. Gentleman to Mr. Dowling, " languidus eb ?" Mr. Dowling—Languidus ! My name it not languidus, Sir. Mr. Martin.—No, no, I know ; but languidne—ill : he is ill, is he ? He is indisposed. Mr. Dowling—He is. Mr. Clement desired me to inform ' the Magistrate that he should be most happy to attend him, but that the nature of his indisposition is such as to render it impossible. Mr. Martin—Well, I am afraid I cannot be his physician. Mr. Dowling—l think if you were, he would have a mad• doctor. Mr. Martin—h that the language of the fancy Mr. Dowling—You won't fancy it, I dsre say. Mr. MrsistruLL—l must put a stop to this conversation ; it is quite irrelevant and improper. Mr. Dowling—You will do me the justice, Sir, to admit that I did not begin it. Mr. Martin (while the Bench was waiting for the return of Mr. Ad.s;phus) begged to say a few words on a subject totally distinct from the present inquiry, at least it had nothing to do with the Morning Chronicle. Mr. Mists Hum. begged that nothing at all might be said until Mr. Adolphus returned. Mr. Martin said, that in what he had to offer he should cautiously abstain from mentioning the Morning Chronicle, or himself. What he had to say related to the Morning Herald. He felt himself botu•d in justice to the Morning Chronicle to state, that when he said, on Thursday, that the nutter copied from Blackwood had appeared in no London newspaper but that, he was in error; for he had since been informed that it had previously appeared in. the Morning Herald. Now the Morning Chronicle should have no reason to complai❑ of a want of impartial justice on his part. They should not say (to use a vulgar adage) that he had made " fish of one, and flesh of the other ?" He would deal equal justice to them both ; and he then gave notice to the Bench, that as soon as he could lay his finger upon the Number of the Morning Herald which contained the libel, he would publicly question the conduct of its Editor. Mr. Thwaites was, lie believed, the proprietor and editor of that journal; and if he (Mr. Mar tin) was rightly informed, he was a little man, and somewhat of a valetudinarian ; but lie hoped this notice would not alarm him. At all events, he (Mr. Martin) was determined to do his duty to himself and to every body else impartially. He had been accused of attacking the poor and indigent only, but he could safely say that whenever he had seen a rich and powerful delinquent inflict any cruelty upon an unfortunate animal, he had, when there was a possibility, brought him to justice. Mr. Adolphus came in soon after the Hon. Gentleman had concluded his remarks, and Mr. Dowling having taken his station in front of the table as the representative of the de fendant, Mr. Woods, the clerk, by desire of Mr. Minshull, read the affidavit of Mr. Martin. The passages complained of as libellous created great laughter in which no one joined more heartily than Mr. Martin himself. Mr. Dowling said he was desired by Mr. Clement to state most respectfully to the Magistrate, that he would have had great pleasure in attending upon him, but that he was really so ill as to be unable to leave his room. He begged him to state that he had no desire whatever to avoid meeting Mr. Martin : indeed, he would be glad to meet him if he were able, notwithstanding Mr. Martin's insinuations that the plea of indisposition was a mere pretext to shrink from the question. Mr. Miststium. said he had heard no such insinuation, and Mr. Martin declared he had not intended any thing of that kind. Mr. Adolphus here said he was attending for Mr. Clement, and he was only waiting to know what course the Magistrate in tended to pursue ? Mr. Muesuuter, said the case must be regularly gone into, and the publication proved. Mr. Martin said there was an officer from the Stamp Office in attendance. Mr. Dowling said, that Mr. Clement's wish was, with as little trouble as possible to the bench, to submit to whatever de cision might be come to. Mr. Muesseur.n—The utmost that I can do is to order bail to be given for future appearance, to answer to the charge— there my power ends; but to do even that, I must have some thing in the shape of regular proof. Mr. Martin said lie should like very much to have the hear ing postponed for a short day, to enable Mr. Clement to attend and put in bail in person in open Court. Mr. MINSHULL—AII this is premature and irrelevant. Let the proof be called. Mr. Mallison, from the Stamp-office, proved the publica tion, and produced the office-copy of the Morning Chronicle of the 6th of September, containing the article complained of as Mr. MINSIIULie said lie must have a proof that Mr. Cle ment had a share in the publication of the Paper, and asked Mr. Mallison if he had brought the affidavit deposited accord ing to Act of Parliament at the Stamp-office ? Mr. Adolphus said he would not suffer the time of the Ma gistrate to be wasted, but would at once admit that Mr. Cle ment was the proprietor and publisher of the paper. Having made that admission, lie must now beg the Clerk to read from the Paper the whole paragraph, without suppression or falsifi cation, because affidavits were one thing, and facts another, as would appear in the reading. Mr. Woods then read the paragraph, which commenced thus —" Blackwood and Mr. Martin.—lt is well for the former that a considerable interval separates him from Mr. Martin, otherwise we think his friends might be in some apprehension for him. Our hair absolutely stood on end when we read the following attack in the last number." Then follows the quotation from Blackwood, beginning "That Irish jack-ass, Martin, &c." Mr. Adolphus then proceeded to argue, that there was nothing in the whole paragraph which called at all for the interference of a Justice of the Peace; and that Mr. Mar tin, if he had been or fancied he was, injured at all, ought to be left to the ordinary remedies which the law afford ed. He understood it was the wish of Mr. Martin that the defendant should be held to bail for this alleged libel.—. The doctrine that a ma:: might be held to bail by a Jus tice for a libel was of recent date, but the question had been argued, anti was now pretty clearly defined, and it was well understood, that it was only where there was imminent danger of a breach of the peace that this power was to be exercised, and that in ordinary cases of libel the parties were still to be left to their remedy by indicment or action. It was not because a man (deservedly, perhaps) was called an ass, or that lie idly fancied himself alarmed at some newspaper squib, that an individual, whether rich or poor, but especially a man of known respectability, who was to be found at any time, should be dragged from his house to a Police Office, and com pelled to give bail. Mr. Adolphus then commented upon the manner in which Mr. ilartin's affidavit was framed. It con tained, lie said, all the declarations, averments, and inuendoes which were to be found in an indictment, of which it had much more the form than of a simple information, and could • only have been so framed for the purpose of producing effect. But let their Worships examine what this pretended libel really was. The publication in the Chronicle was nothing move than a cri ticism upon Blackwood, quoting certainly, as was the practice, part of the article remarked upon. The Chronicle commenced with saying, it was well for Mr. Blackwood that Mr.. Martin lived at a considerable distance from him, otherwise his friends might be under some apprehension for his safety ; and at the conclusion, it is said, there is something abou t murderin g , which they dare not quote; and so, b ecaus e the Chronicle be ' gins with a little goo d-humoured banter, anti ends with saying that there was something about murdering, which they sup pressed, Mr. Martin swears—he must say, most outrageously swears—that he believes the article contained an incitement to murder Because a journalist said there was something about murdering which h e cou ld n ot quote, and he di d actuall y ab stain from quoti ng ! it, Mr. Martin swore th at he believed the intention of that journa li s t wa s to incite people to murder him He (Mr. Adolphus) was astonished at such swearing. It must either have been sworn in ignorance or in m alice—if the former, he pitied the intellect of the man who could so swear ; if the lat. ter, he would say God forgive him ! and he said that in common charity, for that man would have much more to answer for than the brutes for whom he affected to feel so much compassion.— Mr. Adolphus, after sounding the praises of Blackwood's Maga zine in very lofty terms, o b ser ved that it was its practice and its delight to detect and expose to public scorn and ridicule every thing in the shape of humbug; and if they found a man stalking abroad who deserved the title of humbug, he was certain of being properly shewn up and cut up in that ex cellent publication. If they found a man in the world who, having neither rank, nor talent, nor any one quality to en title him to eminence, chose to set himself up as the friend of humanity, but who in that character really practised no thing but tyranny and oppression against every unfortunate wretch upon whom he laid his hand, him they called a hum , bug, and dealt w ith him accordingly. There might be such men in the world, and Blackwood might think Mr. Martin • one of them. With respect to the " angry gabble" spoken of in the article in question, it was well known to all who read the papers of the day, that there was a person who went about to the various police-offices, disgusting every body with his angry and vulgar gabble, dealing out by wholesale and without discrimination, such epithets ax " atrocious wretch, savage scoundrel, ruffianly miscreant," and a dozen others equally violent. If he stopped there, perhaps there would be no great harm, for those who heard these rantings could • judge of their value : but when that man could deliberately swear that he saw an animal beaten savagely with a bludgeon, which bludgeon afterwards turned out to be a mere switch, (" A switch ; ' repeated air. Martin) ; yes, a switch—when he could magnify a switch into a club or bludgeon, and that, too, on his solemn oath, he (Mr. Adolphus) could not, he would not, trust himself to express Isis opinion of him ; and when such men as that came forward with such a charge as the pre sent, it ought indeed to be received with great caution. Let it not be supposed that he (Mr. Adolphus) was an advocate for cruelty to the brute creation. If he had been in Parlia ment, which he did not wish to be, nor should he ever be, and therefore he spoke it very innocently, he should have given the bill in question all the support in his power, and he had always been determined, since the bill became a part of the law of the land, to enforce its provisions against any one whom he might see inflicting cruelty upon a beast; but in all his walks through the streets, he had never happened to 'meet with an instance of the kind. But there were some tender-hearted men who could magnify a switch into a bludgeon, and because the miserable wretch whom they charged came clothed in rags, could tell him that fourteen days at the treadmill was the greatest treat lie could have. Long experience bad , shown,• that, under the colour of hu manity, the greatest tyranny imaginable was often practised. So a man who affected to be the advocate of decency anti mo rality, often under that semblance uttered the grossest obsce nity ; and, again, no one talked so loudly of virtue as he who assumed the outward appearance of it to hide the infamy of his own heart. Every body knew what Sterne said, speak ing in the same strain of virtue—" Give it a head, and it become a rampant lion." The paragraph quoted from Black wood began—" That Irish jackass, Martin." Now he ob aetiv..,d that the affidavit was signed by one Richard Martin ; and whether the writer called him Dick.ass or Jack-ass, it was all the same. It was well known, that in Essex and some other neighbouring counties, it was as common. to say Dick-ass as Jack-ass, and therefore either would apply. Ik (Mr. Adolphus) should like to know which was libelled by the application of the term jackass in in the paragraph—the ass or Mr. Martin ? There was one ass, it would be recol lected, which spoke but once, and never told a lie : was that the case with Mr. Martin ? He (Mr. Adolphus) was afraid not. There was another ass who provoked a fit of laughter from a philosopher, by his funny way of eating a basket of figs. Let Mr. Martin go into wgrocer's shop, and devour a dozen baskets, and he would never move the risible muscles of any human being. One of the ancients had written an eulogy upon the ass, but no one, he would venture to say, would ever write one on Mr. Martin The Learned Gentle man, after proceeding its this strain for some time, returned to the subject of the affidavit, denied that it could be re garded as an incitement to the Smithfield drovers, who, he would be bound, never read Blackwood, and perhaps seldom the Morning Chronicle. Their reading (if they could read at all ) was, he durst say, almost confined to the publican's Morning Advertiser, which was every where to be found in their travels. He would, with leave of the Bench, proceed to call evidence to show that Mr. Martin's declarations upon oath here, and his 'assertions elsewhere, were widely different, and that so far from feeling any fear as he had sworn, he had treated the matter with the greatest levity, for he had gone even into the lion's den, the Chronicle office, only on Thursday night, a few hours after swearing the affidavit, and said, " Well, how do you get on ? What's doing ? This is all nuts for me: it brings me into popularity; I like all this sort of thing." And in so delivering himself the gentleman rubbed his hands in great glee ; and yet to-day he came—he had the audacity to come forward in support of that most im proper affidavit— Here Mr. Martin, who for some time had exhibited symp toms of the greatest impatience, threw himself forward on the table, and exclaimed, in a tone of violent anger—" You scoundrel, how dare you say it is an improper affidavit ?" Mr. MsNSsiuLL—Mr. Martin, I am astonished. I must hold you to bail, Sir. Mr. Martin (to,•3lr.•Adolphus)—l say you are a - scoundrel. Mr. M ne sit ur.r.—Sir, I deiire you to hold your tongue, and I must hold you to bail. Mr. Martin—l Intro said it, Sir ;do as you please with me. Sir It. BIRNIE—Mr. Martin, you have said you are ama gistrate—pray pay some respect to the bench here, whatever may be the custom in Ireland. Mr. Adolphus begged Mr. 31inshull would not hold Mr. Martin to hail on his account ; he felt no apprehension. Mr. Martin was about to reply to Mr. Adolphus, when Mr. 31fleshum. said be should determine the case at once, without allowing another observation. He had heard sufficient to authorise him to call upon Mr. Clement to give hail. Mr. Martin - wished to make one or two observations in reply to " that man" (meaning Mr. Adolphus), but Mr. Minshull would not allow Mr. Dowling—lt is quite evident, as we could have shown, that 3lr. Martin can say one thing and swear another. Mr. 311Nsuu LI. said he would not allow such remarks to be made. Mr. Adolphus asked the amount of recognizances that world be demanded, and being told Mr. Clement in 2COI. and two sureties in 1001. each, he said, " The amount is a matter of total indifference to my client—he pays his debts and has no privilege." The Learned Gentleman then left the bench, and would have been closely followed by Mr. Martin, who seemed in very angry mood, had not the Hon. Gentleman been stopped almost by force by Mr. Minshull. The Hon. Member, in speaking of the amount of the recognizances as being in his opinion too small, repeated that he considered his life in dan ger. He had never been chary of his life when his honour or any circumstances required its risk, but he did, notwithstand ing, think it now in danger. Mr. Dowling said he was sorry the Magistrate bad riot given an opportunity for the defendant to prove by evidence how in consistent with his oath of that day were Mr. Martin's declare ions of the previous night at the Morning Chronicle-office. Bail to the amount required was then pelt in, and here for lie present the matter rests. The office was much crowded. IMPROVEMENTS.—The alterations and addi tional rooms recommended by a Committee of last Session to be made in the House of Lords, near the Royal entrance, have been commenced. Great improvement will be made in the Bishop's staircase. Workmen have lately raised a scaffold to repair the south west end of Westminster Hall. A very convenient Bail Court adjoins the new Court of King's Bench at Westminster. Polso-NED CituEsE.—The Leeds Intelligence,- says—" A professional gentleman in Leeds, of the first respectability, sent us yesterday morn ing for inspection, a portion of what may be literally termed a poisoned , cheese. Of all sorts of food, we had though this one not only free from but repugnant to adulteration. The sample now before us shows to what an extent and perfection the science and art of contaminating the neces saries of life has been carried. Many persons, it is well known, fancy and prefer 46 old cheese," and the artificial mode employed to provide this favourite article is exemplified in the portion we have been shown—which in no respect differs from the rest of the cheese. It has inserted into it a number of common brass pins, and in conse quence of the inherent moisture acting on them, is as mouldy, mity, and green, as the most exqui site epicure could desire. Some parts of it, in deed, are so " high" that they resemble what is called blue stone. These delicious appearances are, however, produced by acetate of copper ; and the digestive advantages of having eat e n such cheese after dinner, would be a violent sickness of the stomach, and the other results of having swallowed a deleterious substance. account for the discovery of the process, by sup posing that the wholesale merchant, who resor ted to this method of expediting 44 age," forgot to remove the means."

Our intelligence from abroad is not of a nature to excite the slightest interest. The Pails Papers are entirely Barren of nevrs, and offer therefore but little worth extracting. The South American Papers represent Callao as likely to surrender, the situation of the besiegers becoming daily more criti cul.frt Rs: i n t r. f , it appears, has offeted to give up the fortress hi m . The resistance made by this town is highly ° , v ourable conditi ons are o ff ere d t o o 1 creditable to the Governor ; and we are only sorry so much spirit and bravery have been *dis played in so bad a cause. The Frankfort Papers co ntains an article dated Constantinople, respect ing affairs i n the Morea. There is however no thing new, and it is for the most part occupied with the question of the English Protectorate for Greece. Extracts from all these Papers will be found in a preceding column. The caso of the Argonaut decided in the Tri bunal de Commerce de Nantes, deserves the seri ous attention of our Commercial Readers. This ship had been i nsure d, an d was captured on her voyage. The Owners abandoned to the Under writers who }aid the loss. The vessel was how ever recaptured, and the Owner again claimed her, and she was restored. The Underwriters then claimed the vessel or the proceeds of the sale. The Tribunal de Commerce decided against the Underwriters. We cannot but express our indignation, in c° " " mon with a leading London Journal of 0 116 dal (The Times) at this decision, which, mo nstroa i d A ll th e as it is, by outraging common sense an the mo re principles of natural justice, becotnes so when it is considered that the defe ndant president of the Court where the cause was tried , Hand he pleaded in person before the r est of the Judges thereof.

That, however, t o as not the case.
