According to a report, which needs c onfirmation, the Governments of Prussia and Nassau are disposed to take measures to cheek the ex portation of corn from Germany to France. Should any such measures be taken, it may certainly'be presumed that these Governments have been induced to,adopt thicit with a view to the advantage of their own subjects. But corn countries on the Rhine, the Maine, and the Liim, within the German frontiers cf those states, would, revertheless, be sufferers ; because, if they are impeded in the expor tation of their superfluous corn to foreign countries which are in need of a supply, the prices at home must necessa rily fall. We have received this forenoon the Austrian Observer of the 28th Nov., the Franlfort Jour yal of the 3d in s., and the Allgeineine Zeitung of the same date. They do not contain any later intelligence from Constantinople. The Allge wine Zeitung infers from further accounts not having been received from Turkey, " That since the intercourse between the Ambassadors and the Turkish Government has been bro,ken off, no more couriers of those Ambassadors are allowed to be despatched." The Austrian Funds had risen on the 27th to 88 1-10th, but on the 28th declined to 87. II following are extracts from these papers :••••• JASSY, Nov. 16. _ On the 14tb of this mouth, the French Consul received an express from Count Gailleminot, with the news of the destruction of the Turkish and Egyptian fleet at Navarin. This news spread the greatest c onsternation here, especially among the merchants, who expected nothing less than such an event in the midst of peace, while the Ambassadors of the three Powers whose squadrons struck the blow were residing quietly at Constantinople. Yesterday news was received here from Gallatz, that the merchants of that place had received letters by a ship which had arrived in three days from Odessa, which not only con.- firm the above news, but add that an embargo bad been laid on all English, French, and Russian ships in the har hour of Constantinople.

It is reported that several officers of high rank in the Austrian service, who are absent Irons their regiments on furlough, have received orders immediately to join their corps VIENNA, NOV. 2g. The mail from Constantinople, which will bring letters to the 10th of November, has not yet arrived. It seems that since the intercourse between the Ambassadors of France, England, and Russia, and the Turkish Ministry, has been broken off, no moe couriers of those Ambassa dors are allowed to be despatched.

Our leading article of Saturday would, in some degree, have prepared our readers to hear that his Majesty's Government were about to take active measures for enforcing the Treaty of Lon don, as far as rescuing Greece from the yoke of her oppressors. Whether negociations are going on or not at Constantinople, the time is fully arrived when longer forbearance in prosecuting this primary object of the Treaty would be cul pable ; and, if any doubt still subsists whether the PORTE will ultimately determine to submit to the ♦iews of the Allies or not, the intervening period cannot be lost by delaying preparations which may ultimately be found to be necessary. is better to fit out a few vessels whose services may Rot be requi re d, than, by further delay, enable IBRAHIM PACIIA to continue his bloody work throughout the Mores. Bomb and other preparin g w ith a ll p oss ibl e ve ssels are there fore expedition, and within a few short weeks from this time, the armistice de facto contemplated by the Treaty will be enforced throughout the Morea. We have not yet beard the plan of operations which is to be pursued, but we appre hend that one of the first objects will be to bombard the fortresses on the sea-coasts of Greece;which are in the occupation of the Turks, , and by cutting o ff all supplies o blige them to su bmit to terms f or the evacuati on of the coun try. It is probable that the PoRTE will make great efforts to reinforce IBRAHIM in the Morea, as he is doing for the re-inforcement of REDSCHID PAcHA in Greece Proper : but girth the entire command of the sea which the polesAlied Squadrons possess, and COlDievently the er to enforce any prohibition against the importation of pro visions into the ports of the Mores which may be directed, and with the means also they will possess of bombarding the fortreises, we do not apprehend that the dislodgmmt of lERAium can be tong prevented. Huiaanity demands that this object should be ac:om plished speedily, and we trust that the rk a r l s to be used for attaining it will be sufficiently ex tensive to enable our Commanders to do so be i without m uch bloodshed or loss of time.

He said it was almost unnecessary fur him to state that Mr. Sinclair, the plain tiff was a gentleman of high character in the musical wotid, and the defendants were the managing proprietors of Covent-Garden Theatre. Having acquired great cele brity as a vocalist in this country, and possessed many va luable engagements. Mr. Sinclair went to Italy to im prove himself in his art, but returned to this country sooner than he otherwise would, in consequence of an en gagement with the proprietors of Covent-Garden Theatre. This engagement, which was most successful, terminated in the year 1824, and in the following June, whilst Mr. Sinclair was in Dublin, he received a letter from Mr. Charles Kemble, offering him au engagement for 50 nights at 20/. a night, and a benefit. The letter concluded by an intimation that the writer desired to know as soon as pos sible whether Mr. Sinclair aceepted the engagement, as there were two new operas to be brought forward. To this letter Mr. Sinclair replied without delay that he con sidered himself engaged, and added, that he would be in town early enough to study for the new opera. Soon after this communication, Mr. Sinclair went to Edinburgh, where he had an engagement, and whilst there received a letter from Mr. Fawcett, the acting manager, who repre sented the defendants. This letter merely stated that it was desirable to know what day Mr. Sinclair would ar rive in London, and that the sooner he came the better, for that Weber's opera of " Der Freizehuta" was to be brought out, and that the music was ex tremely difficult, and would - require considerable study. To this letter Mr. Sinclair replied, that he would arrive in town on the 15th October, and he actually arrived on the morning of the 16th. He then discovered that " Der Freiahutz" had been played two nights, and that a Mr. Pearman, a respectable singer, but of celebrity g rea tl y in ferior to 51r. Sinclair, had been put in the character point ed out for him. He informed Mr. Fawcett, however, of his arrival in town, and shortly after received notice that the Opera of the " Cabinet" was about to be produced, and that he should attend to chose his part. His appeal anse in the Cabinet was also announced in the play-bills for several nights before it took place. Subsequently Mr. Sinclair appeared, and actually played under the engagement for nine nights, for which he received 201. a night. Up to this period there was nothing like an evidence of intention of waiving the engagement on the part of the proprietors. 'lndeed there was the strongest evidence, that, though they now wanted to make out that they were loose, they thought Mr. Sinclair was bound. A mutual friend, now no more, the late Dr. Kitchener, communicated with Mr. Arnold, the Manager of the English Opera House, whs made a very liberal offer to Mr. Sinclair, which Mr. Sinclair was willing to accept, but upon application being made to Mr. Kemble he replied, that they were going to bring out a new Opera at Covent Garden, and that it was impossible to let Mr. Sinclair go to the English Opera House. Mr. Sinclair, therefore, remained without any other engagement but that with the defendants, 'lntl the end of the season, during which he perferined only nine nights, for which he received 20/. a night. He now claimed the observance of hie con tact, which was for fifty nights, at 20/. a night. The ease had been brought into Court before, and a verdict taken for the plaintiff, but from some discrepancy between the Jadge's charge and the evidence, the verdict was set aside and a new trial granted. hr. Kitchener was exa mined on the former trial, and by the rules of law his evi dence was permitted now to be read. In conclusion, he submitted that the conduct of the defendants themselves put the ma t t er beyond all doubt, and that Mr . Sinclair, under the contract, was entitled to 201. a night for forty one nights. If the Jury had any doubt of th is, there was a count containing a quantum meruit, and it would be for the Jury to say under that count, to what remuneration 4 man of Mr. Sinclair's celebrity was entitled. The different letters alluded to in the Counsel's statsCnent, and also the evidence of Dr. Kitchener on the last trial, were put in and read as evidence. The ktns.NET-GtratitAL then addressed: the Jury for the defentlanL.SrHe contended that Mr. Sinclair had him self abandoned diiscari o agernent entered i nto by him with .' Mr. Kemble. Tho latte?i" in his letter to Mr. Sinclair, then in Dublin, specifically itAed that the season was to commence the first week in Octopi eta and that Mr. Sin clair's presence would be required- Instead of being in town in the first week of Oct , ber, however, Mr. Sin clair stated that his country engagements wou ld not permit hint to come to town before th e 15 t h O c tober. Under those e ireumstences lass situation was given to Mr. Pearman, for the proprietors could not be expected to hare kept the Dove diCe4ed, or to 1311Ve poetpoued the production of Weber's opera, merely to oblige Mr. Sinclair. --As to the letter written by Mr. Fawcett, it was merely a friendly communication. Mr. Fawcett had no authority to alter the terms of the engagement made by the plaintiff with the proprietors, and only wrote in a friendly manner to the plaintiff, to tell him , that his pre sence was looked for early. The best, proof, however, that Mr. Sinclair himself felt that he had abandoned his original engagement was, that he had expressly declared so, and expressed his regret at the oversight he had made in not being in town to fulfil his engagement. In a cianumni cation with Mr. Kemble soon after Mr. S. arrived in town, he expressed his regret in very earnest terms, and Mr. K. said, Well,we can't give you an engagement for 50miglits, but we shall employ you as often as we can during the season."— Mr. Sinclair acceded to this new engagement, and became one of the Company for the season. The " Cabinet" was revived, and the " Hebrew Family" produced on purpose to bring out Mr. Sinclair, but. neither of these pieces had taken, and, in consequence, Mr. Sinclair was only e mployed nine nights,• for which he was paid. —lt was under the new engagement that Mr. Kemble thought proper to refuse to allow Mr. Sinclair to accept the engagement which Dr. Kitchener proposed he should enter into with Mr. Arnold, the proprietor of the Lyceum. By the new arrangement with Mr. Kemble, Mr. Sinclair bound himself to the Theatre for the season, but 'no particular number of nights was speci fied. In May lie found his engagement was not pro fitable, and wrote to Mr. Fawcett, requesting that his b ene fit should be fixed . for as early a night as pos sible, and that the night of his benefit should be the last of his performance for the season. This letter was a demonstration that Mr. Sinclair knew that his engagement for fifty nights was abandoned, the at this period lie had only performed nine nights, and the season was yet two months from its termination. The fact was, that from the production of various pieces in which Mr. Sinclair did not perform, especially " The Woman never Vext" and " Der Frieeclitte," as well as from the appearance of Mies Foote, who was at that period, from peculiar cir cumstances, a very popular actress, the Proprietors could not have employed Mr. Sinclair oftener without a decided loss. Th e y therefore granted his request, and let him have his benefit on the 25th of May, before the town emptied. This arrangement was made to oblige and serve him, and after his benefit -. night he did not perform. Under all , the circumstances , he insisted that not a doubt remained that a :mutual understanding existed , that the original e ngagement was dissolved, and it• was admitted that under the new, arrangement, Mr. Sinclair's claim had been fully satisfied. • Under those circumstances, for the Jury to constitute themselves jndges, and decide whether Mr, Sin clair had been employed ,a sufficient number of nights, would be ridiculous. It was hard to divest one's self of a prejudice in favour of a popular performer, but it was for the jury to decide upon this case exactly as they would on any other case, and in law and justice lie submitted they were bound to find for the defendants. Mr. John Fawcett said, I was Stage Manager of Covent garden Theatre in the years 1821-5. I wrote to Mr. Sinclair on the 21st September, without the knowledge or privity of the defendants. It is not the practice to apprise performers that their engagement" are about to commence. I had no authority to write to Mr. Sinclair on the subject. I believe Mr. Sinclair arrived in London about the middle of October. I know that lie was not in town ae the open ing of the Theatre. Dec Freischutz was ,in preparation from the opening of the Theatre. It was produced on the 14th October and . was performed fifty-three nights. I did not see Mr. Sinclair nor hear of bins for some time after.• When I saw hire, :I said, " You t have come too late .for your engagement ;" and his reply was, "It is of no consequence, for the mu sic of Der Freischutz would not suit me." On the sth May I received a letter from Mr. Sinclair, asking me to fix his benefit, and hoping it would be the last night of his performance for the season. Mr. Sinclair's benefit took place on the 25th May, and he did not perform afterwards for the theatre, which did not close until the middle of July. Der Freischutz - was' in the run when Mr. Sin clair first appeared on the 15th of December, but the Proprietors were 'anxious to try his strength, and produced the " Cabinet." The receipts of the theater that night only amounted to 173/. 7s. The next night " Freischutz" was produced .for the 27th time, and the re ceipts of the theatre amounted to 357/. Under those cir cumstances Mr. Sinclair could not have been employed oftener than he was, without a considerable loss to the theatre. Cross-examined. --The letter I wrote to Mr. Sinclair when lie was in Edinburgh; Was . merely an act of civility.

The part was not given to Mr. Pearman until Mr. Sinclair wrote to say that he could not come to town until the 15th October. 1 knew he would require at least a week to study it, and that if we depended on him, the 'Opera ou which the Theatre principally depended, would be put off until the end of October, Itherefore directed the,. music to be given to Mr. Pearman. Air. Robinson, the treatmer of Covent-garden Theatre, stated that he was present at a conversation be tween Mr. Sinclair and Messrs. Kemble and Forbes, the defendants, soon after Mr. Sinclair's arrival in town. The conversation took place in the Treasurer's office. Mr. Kemble had sent expressly for Mr. S., and told him, that as he had arrived in, town too late for " Der Frei saute," which was produusd a few nights before, the Pro prietors didnot feel themselves bound to the engagement forso nights ; but that, if Mr. Sinclair liked, they would em ploy him as often as possible during the season, at the sans nightly salary. After some reluctance, Mr. Sinclair as.o seated to this arrangement, but regretted that he had me come to town early enough to fulfil hia engagement. To wards the close of the season, Mr. Sinclair also said to wit ness, that lie bad only received 1801. during the season, and that de was unfortunate in not coming to town early enough to fulfil his engagiment. Mr. Alexander Oliver, the Deputy Treasurer of Covent Garden Theatre, remembered a conversation with Mr. Sin clair, about the period of his benefit, Mr. S. said he had never received so little Money any season during his pro fessional career, and that he had been very foolish in not coming to town in time to fulfil his engagement. Mr. BOUGIIAN having replied, Lord TNICCERDEN summed up, and left it to the Juty whether they thought thnplaintiff had proved that the pro prietors bad excused the plaintiff from not strictly adhering to his original engagement,. or that a second engagement was made for a reasonable number • of nights. The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict o for the defendants. IT- wassaimmasamoriarrampugamin THE LATE JOSEPH PLANTA, ESQ.

TIRE MATIKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE. Last week's supplies of most kinds of Grain were mode rate, and of Oats short. This morning's arrivals are mo derate, chiefly Wheat, Barley, Beans, and Pease, from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk. The Wheat trade for fine dry samples is tolerably free at last quotations ; all other de scriptions are languid. The best Barley has obtained last Saturday's terms—samples below superfine difficult to sell. Boiling Pease obtained this day se'nnight's quotations, and Grey Pease with difficulty maintain their value. Old Beans of prime quality are very scarce ; some ordinary samples were offered at lower terms than lately. New Beans find slow sale, and hardly support last quotations.— Some business doing in good Oats, at rather better prices than of late; but in the general quality there is no im provement. The Flour trade is unaltered. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP.

CHELMSFORD. -(THIS DAY.) BY EXPRESS. This morning at 10, Reuben Martin, alias . Jas. Wittier:, who was convicted on Saturday last at the Chelmsford As sizes of the murder of Mr. Thomas Patrick, of Colchestcr, pursuant to his sentence was executed on the new drop in front of the newly erected convict jail at Chelmsford. The wretched man, after receiving the awful sentence on • Saturday last, was removed from the court house to the jail, and on his way thither behaved in a most unconcerned manner. On getting into the vau the shouts of the popu lace were tremendous and deafening ; he bowed, and with a smile threw his hat into the air, exclaiming, " you inky gshoewledshatlnia'tt want you a y s o w u holly sen T s h ib i l s e , a o i f id t o is tl a i , e v r fu ex l I)Le i s ia st : Immediately on his arrival at the prison, the Viee. J ames Hutchinson, Chaplain to the gaol, visiteil, hint, and in vain endeaVoured to offer him spiritual, consolation, and procure from him an admission of tb j us ti ce o f hi s sen tence. He said that be was I :erfectly resigned to his fate, although his executio , ;, for murder was unjust. Mr. Patrick had been killed in a drunken scuffle, at the time when he (the malefactor) was heated with li quor, and knew not, what he did. That he deserved death he did not deny; for he', had committed hundreds of rob beries,..but would not confess them, as it might implicate other parties, and he scorned to be a snitcher. He had acknowledged his manifold sins to God, whom he Loped would forgive him ;• but further he would not say. He listened very attentively to the Chaplain on his reading the burial ser vice, and appeared to pray inwardly. After being piuioned i e walked with a firm step . towards the scaffold, and on 'A ug asked by the executioner (from London) if he w',nld have a bandage on his eyes, he exclaimed, " Oh, ; I am not • ashamed to see the people." On his arr;;eal at the fatal place, hie conduct was most Arm thml,gli decorous. Ile shook hands with the persons ar , A n d him, and desired _ _ them to remember him k) the f a_7lergyman, (who in cases of murder never accom Par,e.a the malefactor to the scay fold, but reads the Buri a l . serv i ce i n the P ress - room ), w h om lie said had behave'', exceedingly, kind to him. Shortly afterwards this w.orld closed on him for ever. The corrt'a name of the unfortunate man a ascer tained to •us James Winter, he has a sister residing in the Metopolis, matron of a public instigation, but as it would he likely- to operate to her disadvantage, without produc ing any good, we refrain from entering into particulars. She visited him on Sunday night, and gave him all the consolation in her power, and the parting, it is said, was heart-rending ip the extreme, he being particularly partial to this sister. He does not come from Lancashire, as stated by himself at Colchester, but- 'is a native of Walduck, in Hertfordshire, where his parents reside. On being asked by the Under-Sheriff, if he would like to have his father and mother sent for, Le said, " oh uo, they are a bad set altogether, and I don't want them." On his taking leave of Turner, the convict, who is to be executed on Friday week for a burglary, at Ratioden Crays, be said, " wLy don't you be a man as I am, and not snivel, but you are a snicker—you peached—ard i scorn you." The behaviour of this unhappy culprit, upon the whole, when on the verge of eternity, was becoming the wretched situation in which his: previous disregard to the dictates of religion and the obligations of morality had placed him : he was at last extremely penitent. The body, after hanging the usual time, was cut down, and delivered to the surgeons for dissection. OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. Edward Kimpion was indicted for a rape on 'theperson of Jane Busby, a girl of 13 years of ag►e, who stated that on the 2d of April last, the prisoner, who it a sawyer, the same as her father, met her as she was returning on an errand from her father's house, at Winanore-hill to a grocer's in the neighbourhood, overtook Ler, and said he wanted to speak to her. She had knnwn him for more than a year, and had been in the habit of seeing hint often. It was then night, and quite dark ; prisoner took hold of her, and pulled her down a lane into a held, saying that she must g o Along with him. She said she must make haste (touts with her sugar. He made no reply, but proceeded to throw her on the ground, where he remained as long as he pleased. She cried out and struggled, but could not get away, and the prisoner, before he left the held, offered her a shilling not to tell her mother, and gave her some excuse to account to her mother for her lengthened ab sence. She told the prisoner that she would. tell bee mo ther the truth. Did not tell her mother when site returned home, , although ehe scolded her for remaining so long. It was about eight o'clock when she started. She told her mother the next morning of the violence. By Mr. CLitaxsols..--Was returning from the grocer's with the sugar when she first saw the prisoner. The shit ling was offered to her after she got up, Did not ask him for it, nor receive any halfpence from Lim. He unbuttoned his coat with both his hands ; she had then been thrown down. No person came to disturb him. Nobody had told her to may "disturb." Was with him in the field for two hours. Did not cry out load, as every body was a-bed.- Said she was in a hurry, and could not stay so long, as she was going to the field. Went there with the prisoner, he having hold of her hand, and did not cry out then, Hie hand was not then before her mouth, although it was afterwards. 'Walked home with the prisoner as far as her father's gate, Knew what he was going to do when they passed Mrs. Padman's house. Had often epokeq to hint before, but not in that way. Both her father ved mother scolded her for not coming home. Her t,other had been out looking for her, but could not find ) :Ler. Told her mother the next morning, because she I.:as going tee beat her. Would have told her without; but did not tell her the over-night, because she was so cross. Had been promised some money, hut did not expect to get any money from prisoner, the next day. Never cried out till he / a id her down. Two doctors had seen her ; the last who saw her was in Court. The first had said before the Magis trates that nothing had been done to her. The second saw her on the same day. Remembers the prisoner being dragged into a pond. Her mother was there thee. Did not think that be had been taken up before October, al though it happened in April. By the Couar—Prisoner had gone away with his family front Winehroore-hill. Had never seen him after it hap pened before he was taken up. Jane Busby, the mother, corroborated her daughter's evidence. Jacob B. Asberry, surgeon, examined the proseeutrix about nine iu the morning, and was decidedly of opinion. that vioknee had been used ; but the appearance would have been the same if the proaecntrix had either consented or dissented. The constable apprehended the prisoner at his own house on the Sd of December. He stated that he had the warrant on the 27th of September, but could not find him. As tiny wore:passing the field together prisoner pointed out the place where he said it had happened. He said that he was sure that he had not hurt the child, as he had been drinking all the day, mid was quite drunk.
