LEET JURIES. Mr. Eurron—Not having yet ascertained the .xtsnt of Mr. PEEL'S most admirable and consti- , tutioual measure for regulating Juries, allow me to solicit from any of your Legal Correspondents some' information whether Feet Juries are in cluded. Being acquainted with some iniquitous proaedings in these Courts under the presumed sanction of custom, I shall probably again trouble you on this head. Temple. J. A. TRENCH PAPERS. • T From the Etoik, dated Saturday.) LYONS, MARCH 8. It is announced that the place of Director-General of the Ge neral War Depot, which has been vacant for several months by the nomination of General Guilieminot to the Embaisy at Con stantinople, will be given- among the promotions of the Corona tion to one of our best-informed Lieutenants-General.— ( Universal Lyons Gazette.) (From the Constitutionnel of Friday. ) NAPLES, FEB. 25. It is currently reported that the mission of Count Appony re lates to the evacuation of the kingdom. The Cabinet of Vienna had . hopes that our Court would solicit the lengthening of the residence of the Austrian troops, at least till the Swiss corps which the old-King was inclined to take into his pay, should be 1 3 termed ; but Austria has deceived herself. The King, who , knows with what impatience the Neapolitans put up with the residence of the Austrians, and the expence which they bring. on the country, has resolved to get rid of them as soon as pos sible, certain by this means of deserving the gratitude of the . Neapolitans, who in no respect agree with the Austrian soldiers, who are no doubt well disciplined, but whose character is quite opposed to that of the Italians. With respect to the formation of a Swiss corps, the new King has broken off all communica tion with the Cantons, and intends to have in his service na tional troops only. PARIS, MARCH 10. We are informed by a private letter from Rome, that the Roman College, not long established, and directed by the Jesuits, already numbers upwards of 1,000 students. This number would be more considerable if there was room. The lower forms are double, and have each two professors. The last will soon have three. (From the Courier Francais of Fray.) Pan i s d , Mancit lO. It appears that every preparation is made at the Austrian Ambassador's Hotel, for the r!ception of Count Metternich, who is expected in Paris next Saturday. The arrival of a Statesman who used such exertions to check the constitutional movement in Germany, to elude the promises made tithe German people in the hour of danger, to restrain the conces sions already yielded by some Princes, to submit to a sole direc tion the will of Princes and the march of the States comprised in the German Confederation,—the arrival of such a Statesman among us must of necessity draw attention, and give birth to numerous and disquieting conjectures. OFFM'IAL REPORT ON THE STATE OF GREECE. ( Continued from our Paper of Friday last.) I t may he asked how the Greeks, so strong in the defence of their own territory when attacked by the enemy, have not yet undertaken to invade that of the Turks? The reason why they do not is simple,—they hive hitherto wanted pecuniary 'means, the principal support of an offensive war. It was only in the month of August last that the Greek Goierh , ment received the first instalment of the loan contracted for. at London: The Greeks of Macedonia, Paramythia, and of Chi - Mara, in Epirus, have already several. times applied 'to "the Go vernment of Greece, only begging for arms and-provisions to rise againat the Turks. The fine island of Cyprus has also begged lot a squadron to cruise on their coasts, in order to facilitate the imrnediate erection of the standard of independence. Besides, it ought not to be lost sight of, that the policy of the Greek Go-: *ern:nett is principally turned towards maritime affairs, always .follawing the plan of . Themistocles, in preference to that' of the Spartan warrior. In consequence, their progress on land is -slow. In addition to the solidity which this. slow 'but sure suarch will give to its progress and its plans, the sea promises Greece advantages' infinitely more numerous, more profitable, and more fruitful in happy results; not only will it decide the fate of Greece, as it has at all times, but it will be the cir cumstance which will open to it the navigation and _commerce of Asia, A frica, • and the West of Europe—a commerce which that :country commands in some sort by its situation. A perfect maritime superiority would of itself place in the hands of the Greeks the peaceable possession of the important islands of Candia, Cyprus, and Rhodes. and several others, which, in the golden ages of ancient Greece, formed of themselves fleurishing states; it will give them, besides, the means of easily starving Constantinople, and of aiding, by the help of their light and swift sailing vessels, sudden debarkations on the coasts of Asia and Europe, which ever spread terror throughout the Turkish Empire. A number of other advan; tages, which induce the Greeks to turn their attention principally to the cultivation of their navy, I pass over in silence. Had it not been for the perthry of their finances, they would,ere now have substituted; in place of their trading vessels, a really war like navy. It is that poverty which has been the principal obstacle to the reduction of - Patras, Coron, Modon, in the Pe. leponnessus ; of Lepanto, in Western Greece; and of Negro- and Carystos, in the Isle of Eubcea. The siege of these places was the more difficult to the Greeks, that it was neces sary to blockade them by sea and land, which occasioned them a data& mpence.. Sincethe Government.has bad the disposal of.-part of its loan, ithas turned all its attention to those plates • - which it closely blockades. Their evacuation *otild reduce the naval forces of Turkey to 'a state, of inactibn. The Pacha of Egypt himself, if he were -willing again to -attempt any thing . for the Porte, could no longer undertake any serious enterprise. It would even he a powerful motive to detach himself entirely from the Government Of .Constantinople. me geographical sithation.of Greece is one of the 'and most advantageous that could-be pointed out. Nature has not favoured in so eminent a degree any other country of the• same extent; whether with "respect to its fertility, its navigation,. or, its commerce. The mildness of its climate, the . nuiltitude of rivulets with which the country is watered, and mapy other ex . --talent qualities. The plants which grow between the Tropicsl flourish in its plains and valleys : and those of the northern it, gions become 'naturalized oh its mountains. The form of lie . country, bounded on- three sides by seas. and its- coasts indented in all parts, aboUnding, in havens and: ports, are extremely favourable to navigation and commerce'. These advantages. render -it unnecessary for Greece to. make canals, roads; Placed between two seas, its inhabitants have always -a few paces from them a neighbouring port, from which their produce may be carried to other countries. It was these advantages that anciently made even single towns, as Corinth and Rhodes, mistress of the then-known seas and' commerce. It was- the possession of Candia, Cyprus, and other islands, which was the cause of Venetian grandeur. The cause of its decline was the loss- of those important islands. The Greek population, exclusive.of the Albanians, Servians, &c. with whom they have been sometimes confounded, amounts to between seven and eight millions. T....v0 of these are spread over Asia Minor, and another part occupy the countries still subject to the Turks, suet as Macedonia and Thrace. The union of these, when Greece shall have established her inde pendence, will, with her commercial enterprise, form a State much more important than is thought for. It is not numbers, but the activity generatedby commerce, that forms the strength of such States. When the United States of America began their political career their population only amounted to three TILE ARMY.

At one o'clock on Saturday, a deputation from the principal manufacturers of the south of Ireland waited upon the Earl of LIVERPOOL at Fife-house, for the purpose of presenting a memorial to his Majesty's Government, praying pecuniary aid to enable them to provide the means of adequate manufac turing employment for the large population in that part of the sister kingdom who were at present deprived of that source of subsistence. The immediate members of the deputation were Dr. Elmore and T. Lyons, Esq., of Cork, but they were ac companied and introduced by the chief landed proprietors of -the south of Ireland, among whom were his Grace the Dolce of Devonshire, the Earl of D onoug h n rore, Lords Aubrey and Ennismore, the Hon. C. H. BUICiIitISOII, M.P., and several other Members of Parliament. The Earl of Liverpool gave the Deputation a most polite reception,- heard all the argu ments urged by the Deputation with much attention And cour tesy, and on their taking leave, promised to communicate them to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, begging the Deputation, In the pear 1824, th e po pu la tion of jla mbu rgh however, not to depart with any impression that he admitted decreased about five hundtPd• The number of births were— the legitimacy of their claim, however properly it had been Males 1,712, Females 1,643, beside* 270 of both sexes still- submitted to the consideration of his Majesty's Government.— :r.Urn.

FRANcis LEVESON GOWER, second son of the Marquis of Stafford, and heir to his mother, who is, in her own right, Countess of Sutherland, the premier-Peerage of Scotland, was in the Chair. His Lordship was supported on his right by Lord .hmes Stuart, brother of the Marquis of Bute, on his left by Lord Glenorchy, son of the Earl . of Breadalbane.,The company, who were not very nu merous, but, were highly respectable, sat down to an excellent dinner at half-past six.. The usual loyal 'and pathetic toasts were drank with every honour and cordiality, professional singers accompanying them with appropriate songs and glees. When " the health of his Royal II ighnesS the Duke of Sussex, Earl of InYerness," was drank, The Highland Laddie' was played with great effect by 'the bag-pipe ; the piper marching round•the company. Lord JAMES STUART rose to propose a toast, which he was sure the company would receive with great pleasure. It was the health of their Noble Chairman.—( Great applause.)—Whets he heard that both his Royal Highness the Duke of York, and his Royal Highness Prince Coburg, were unable to preside, he felt great regret; but thougls deprived of the honour of their presence; he saw and felt that ..the greatest service and dignity were conferred on the Meeting by. 'his Noble Friend.—(Ap plause.)—They all knew his Noble Friend to posseSs high cha racter and distinguished talents.—(Applause.)—He was de scended of one: of the oldest and most honoured families in the -country, and the Representative of the most ancient familyin the. Highlands of Scotheed—a family long distinguished • for. patriotism and generosity--,a family now doing all in their power for the interest of - their, tenantry and the good of the country. Such, then ; he.enight: call upon theM to drink with enthusiasm, " Lord Leveson Gower, their Chairman.—(Great applause.)" The toast was recei:Ved.4 . 4iith every demonstration of respectful affection and regard... • Lord LEVESON Or' E -expressed his thanks in the warmest terms. Those of them with had been in foreign parts, as he had been, must have perceived a very - great distiuctton between the state of. society in this country, and that of all other countries.. In this country alone meetings of:individuals were held to pro mote the great ends of improvement and.eharity.—(Applause.) In this country the stream of charity was not forced to flow as the Minister of State ' already burdened more than enough with other affairs, might be pleased to direct it.—(Great applause.)—• With respect to.this - Institution, it was not necessary for him to say much. No object could excite the-feelings of the people of this country more than charity, whose purpose it was to provide for persons left destitute through the , exertions, wounds; and death of their - parents in their country's cause ;—(Repeated pludits.)—to protect them from want and insult, and to rear them up good and useftti• - Members of society. To remedy the . deficiency of prOVision for per Sons thus destitute and interesting, the Caledonian Asylum was instituted. - It was not merely to. provide what the poet describes as " Meat, clothes and fire" that this Charity .was directed, but to bestow education, the parent of every moral arid' religious excellence.—(Applause.)— - to afford them the means of honest competence, and the hopes of salvation.—(Great rip(mlause.)—Happyshould he always feel, • if, from family circumstances, or otherwise, he could contribute to the prosperity of such an institution. The Noble Lord con eluded by proposing "The Caledonian Asylum, and may the sons of thebraye never. Want a-protector." When this toast had.been drank with due fervour, the bOys 'supported and edUcated in this Asylum, marched into the Hall, dressed in tartan and wearing the bonnet.. They presented a most striking and interesting sight as they marched round the *room to the martial music of the bag-pipe. Their countenances • eXpremed most eloquently the attention paid to their comfort and education. They formed themselves at last in a line behind the chair, while the state of the institution was laid before the :Meeting. .• . -. • - • . • Mr. TmioatPsonea Director, explained with much minute ness, and at great length, the state of the - funds.. The funds of the Caledonian Asylum were derivedfrom two Sources--Ist, from the interest of capital ; and 2d, from annual subscriptions and donations. The receipts of the last. year . exceeded 2000/.. The ordinary expenees of the -establishment were moderate, but in • course of the year considerable expencei were incurred in securing a freehold in the house ,and chapel in Cross street; and in paying off' balances of account-for an Act Of Parliament. Votwitlistandrokall , clierges, - there was added to the permanent !ands oftleeinstnutiou in the-last year 7751. The fluids, in fact, - were eitfficient for the.extension of the. charity to a Much, 'greater eltunimerof boys. . The great obstruction to this - most desirable extension . was: the want of acebtrimiidation - for a greater nu mbet; itirto remove this obstruction it was India ; peneihle to be at l'itiTeXiience of - building' more extensive; pte . mimes in another ietnation. In order to meet fidsexpence with out enceoaching on the capital of the-charity;' it would be 'ne e .• • cessaey to appeal to . the liberality of a humane and generotts public. The managenment of the establishment was such - must endear it to every enlightened mind. The faces of. thdee boys bespoke the - care and judgment with which they were trained; but Could - lie exhibit before that assembly the prin ciples of knowledge, wisdom, .virtue, and piety, with which • their minds were' Stored, all would be struck-with' admiration. The Reverend Mr. Lee's conducted their education with a degree of skill, assiduity, tenderness, and success, almost un qualified—(Great: aripb:use.The Report of the Scottish Pres bytery was most satisfactory to every one interested in this Institution. - Ilehegged leave to conclude-by reading the con eluding paragraphei-Le " The Presbytery cannot conclude without •congratulating .the Directors.. of the Caledonian Asylum on the state of their Institution. The style of Education is truly Scottish—plain, substantial, and unostentatious, wherein Conduct is founded on Religion, and Character formed by Piety ; and while things con tinue so well . ordered as we have this day found them, a blessed thing it is for every poor Scottish'youth who finds his way to the door of this Asylum, and obtains a place among the little ones , who are therein training up for the life that now is, and the life that is to come." • Mr. B. B. CABBY:et gave " the Highland Society," the pa rent, author, and founder' Of this Institution, affbrding a home and an asylum to the children of those who shed their blood and lost their livei in the.service of their country. Colonel HAatterpie - felt it his duty to thank the company for the honour they had done to time-Society of which he was a 31eneber., There could be no person, particularly no High lander, whoSe breast did not swell with pride and delight at the sight exhibited in that-room a few minutes since—(Applause).; That the Highland Society had contributed to the establishment . . of such an Institution WaS highly to-their honour. It could not be too distinctly understoodthat the Caledonian Asylum was for the children of men who had bled and fallen in their coun try's cause, who had carried )Britain's fame to the extreme ends of the . world—(Applause).—The Asylum was. open only to the Children ofsoldiers who were not admissible to Chelsea or Green- Wich, and of indigent Scotch parents, not entitled to parochial relief-,(Great applauSe).- • . - Lord JamEs tea - nte his health , being drank, returned thanks. - His heart felt the highest pleasure at the. sight of the boys; and he should always feel delighted in doing all in his power towards the SuCeess - of so excellent an Institution.

The Rev. 'Mr. let'ayDjoirnerly Minister.of the Caledonian Church (his health having been drank), returned thanks in very eloquent terms. As a native of Scotland, and:Minister of • the Gospel, he felt deep interest in this Institution.

The Law of Indemnity is still under discussion. On an amendment of M.

The President ut last de-' cided against the amendment, when an animated opposition arose in several parts of the Chamber, and the reproach, " It is abominable," was heard from a Member in the middle of the room. A great agitation ensued, and the assembly broke. up in considerable confusion. • FRENCH MARCII 11.—Five Per cent.

It is with painful feelings we announce that the island of Santa Maura (one of the 'lonian Islands) has been visited by an earthquake, which has nearly destroyed the city of Santa Maura, and reduced the inhabitants to great misery and distress. _Prompt succours were sent to the sufferers by . tbe lonian :Cpvernment, and every measure has been adopted which their unfortunate situation required.—The following ate the particulars that have reached tiS of this calamitous event : Corr .lAar. 22. The same terrible calamity which at the end of 1820 afflicted the city of Zante, has fallen with still greater fury on the un fortunate city of Santa Manra. On the 11th of this month, one of the most violent shocks of an, earthquakeever felt in that island, plunged the unfortunate inhabitants into the utmostdistress. We arenot yet acquainted with all the particulars, and the terrible effects of that disastroui event; but from the authentic reports which have reached us up to the 21st of this month, we cannot, without the most profound sorrow, announce to the public se tremendous a calamity. The whole city presents to the yiew only a vast scene of desolation and ruins; all the houses are either entirely overthrown or extremely damaged. All the churches except one are destroyed, and we say, without exag geration, that the city of Santa 3laura is uninhabitable. This disaster having occurred in the midst of winter, and in ex tremely stormy weather, the consequences are, on that account, still more fatal. The mills and ovens being all destroyed, and the unhappy people having no shelter from the inclemency of the season, it is easy to conceive the dif ficulty of procuring bread, and the scene of horror which desolates the town, and the lamentations and cries of despair of the families who see the streets inundated with wine and oil, by the destruction of their magazines and all their. I provisions spoiled. Thousands of persons are reduced to beg- • gory. The number of persons who perished up to the 21st was 24 in the city, besides 13 who had received bodily, injuries.-- Twenty-three others are buried under the ruins of the village of Zucccalades ; the earthquake happily spent its who:e fury durin 4 the day, so that the inhabitants both in the city and• the. country did not suffer in their persons, but they would have suffered had it happened in the night. It is, worthy : of par ticular notice that in -some parts of the interior of- the Island the shock was not at all felt. It sews .that, whole force was spenton the Nits nearest the sea. The Fors tress and the Custom House have not suffered much damage- We know also that the city of . Prevesa has suffered greatlY, but we have not yet received the particulars. The earthquake was also felt here in Corfu, .ort the same day and at nearly the same hour. ' No sooner had the official notice of this ca- lamity reached this city than the - . Government, deeply mote l by the distress of those islandeis, hastened to take measures' to afford them prompt relief. It sent without delay, and, not withstanding the Unfavourable weather, his Majesty's frigate the Naiad, with provisions of all kinds, timber for building' workmen, and succours of every description which the - unfor' tunate. situation of the Inhabitants of Santa 3laura requirta' The Government has displayed on this occasion Ab e greatest activity and energy ; and, thanks to its paterna l cares, the lot of those unhappy people is rendered less , distre' 6 " ing. We hope that the inhabitants of this and the other' sister islands, moved by so fatal an event, and' by the , melancholy a l ' tuation of those who have been its victims, will generouAy row tribute to their . relief.—( Gazette Piednuintesc, _March 3.)
