GERMAN PAPERS. ODESSA, March 30—In consequence of the applica tion made to our Government, by the Russian Ambassa dor, at Constantinople, ten battalions of infantry were last night ordered to join our auxiliary corps, previously embarked, for Constantinople. Eight other battalions are immediately to follow, and field artillery and train are being embarked. It is said that great fermentation pre vails in the Turkish capital, and that if the Sultan does not receive assistance in time, he may fall a victim to the fury of the fanatic populace. In our army there is in general great activity, anti a large body of infantry in the principalities has advanced towards the Danube in order to march to Constantinople at the shortest notice. The number of our troops ordered to Turkey is estimated at 33,000 men. Should these troops be in sufficient time to occupy the capital, before the arrival of the Arabs, Ibrahim Pacha might hav e a dangerous game to play; but should this not he the case, a tedious war might at least be carried on in Turkey, for the Sultan has still many fithful adherents in th e in'etior of the European pro vinces. Under such circumstances, it is highly important that our troops should be in possession of the passes of the Bulkan, and the fastnesses of Schumla and Silestria; and it is said the Sultan has given orders to deliver them up to our troops. Within the last week, contract' have been concluded for the subsistence of the army of the Danube, and cf the squadron, in which the strength of the corps is estimated on the war est.blishment. VIENNA, Aram 1 I.—A report was spread on 'Change that levers from Constantinople, to the 27th of Nl+rei: had been received, in which it was announced That Ibrahim Pacha h a d made himself master of Brousa, ,t,a detached a part of his army to Scutarla, but that the main army was goinc in the direetion of th. Dardanelles. Great agita ion is said ro prevail at Constantinople, and an insorteetion to be apprehended.

The Funds, however, still fal , 'wlrenre many pervona believe that the merchants must ht:ve received unp'easant news. April 11. April 1:1. 91 1.‘ 4 811 , 4 1,179% Five per Cents. Four per Cents.

SWITZERLAND, Aran. 15.—The Poles who have ar rived in the canton of Berne have so connexion whatever (as can now he positively affirmed) with the disturbances in Germany. They formed the depot of P. lish refugees in Besancon and the environs, and were to he rinsomed, (as they were told,) in consequence of an order from the slinist. r of the Interior, to B-rgerae, near Bourdeaux, and be united with the depot. These unfortunate fuzi tines thought themselves injured by this determination, and especially by the diminution of their allowance, and the rather strict superintendence to which they are •sub . ject in France, and resolved without mans of subsis tente, and without having made any previous application, r.) turn to Switzerland, which is not in a situation to offer them any thing better, The petition to the Swiss Diet is signed by six colonels, in the name of 403 Pole-, who have sought refuge in Switzerland, and the Diet, situated as it is, can at the most recommend this petition to the several states. It is said that the appearance of these fugitives excited a considerable sensation in Neufchatel, and caused measures to be adopted, which have happily proved to be wholly unnecessary, —Akierneirne Zeitung, April 17.

" FROM PERSIA, JANUARY.—The long talked-of ex pedition of Prince Abbas Mil za to Chorasan has at length taken place. That province appeared latterly to belong to the dominions of the Schab in name only, and the object of the Crown Prince was to reduce it to obedience. The Prince's first operations were directed against Reza. Khuli Khan, a powerful and rebellious chief, upon the approach of the Prince, shut himself up with 2,000 in fantry and 400 cavalry, in the strong fortress of Amir Abad. The place is fortified with great care, and as the walls are immensely thick, it was thought it would hold out a long ',time, and perhaps baffle the attacks of the Persians. Notwithstanding these circumstances, and though the Prince's army scarcely amounted to 5,000 men, the fortress was taken by storm on the 18th of July, after having been besieged 17 days. The moral effect which was produced by this brilliant exploit on all Persia, and also on Chorasan, may he of great advantage to the Prince, and probably prevent the opposition which has been ap prehended to his succession to the throne. According to the latest accounts be had commenced the siege of the for tress of Kerchan, which still refuses to recogn . ze the royal authority. " FRONTIERS Or POLISH PRUSSIA, APRIL—From the foolish incursion of two bands of Polish rioters of ab , ut 50 men from Cracow into Podolia, on the same day on which tumults took place at Frankfort, these events ap pear to be more connected, and the source from which those unhappy scenes had their origin becomes more evident. These Polish rioters are for the most part indi viduals who took part in the preceding revolution, who migrated to France, and have secretly returned from that country. We look with anxious expectation fur resolu tions of the German Diet, which must he serious and de sive if they could extirpate the poisonous parasitical plant which has been transplanted from a fireign country to the German soil, and hinder the approaching month of May from begi”ning with bloody May feasts.

DEATH OF SIR CHRISTOPHER ROBINSON. —Yesterday morning Sir C. ROBINSON. the Judge of the Admiralty Court, die I at his residence in Wimpale-streer, Cavendiab , square, in !he 70th year of his age. Ha had sat in the Admiralty Court in the first servion of the pre sent term, and appeared in his usual health and spirits. He complained t' e day previously of illness, but his death was not expected by his family to take place Ira so short a period. He officiated, during the greater part of the late war, as King's Advocate, in which capacity, and as the leading counsel of the Admiralty Court, he was engaged in neatly all the prize causes and captures of the time. GLOUCESTER.—On Saturday last JAMES BEARISIAN and GEO. ORGAN PARSON'S were executed at this place, pursuant to their setvencea. Tt , e former was convicted of a robbery at the house of Mr. HANcox, of Risley, near Stroud, and shooting Mr. Ilmccox's son in the eyes, in consequence of which the young man will be deprived of sight fur the rest of hie life. 'The latter was convicted of having robbed Mr. STErnr.Ns, a clerk in the banking house of Messrs. BLOESOME and Co., of Dur 4 leYa of a bag containing between 7,0001. and 8,0001. ; coneiderabl e v i o l ence h av i ng b een us e d in the commission of the offence. The culprits were very young men, and both of them attributed their having fallen into crime to the keeping of had company. Mr. W., the son . of a west-end wine-mer chant, received a check from his father to a considerable a mount, which he Was to pay to some one with whom mr. W., p e n., had dealings. Unhappily he was induced to visit one of the bells near Regentastreet, where lie lost the whole amount. He kept the matter secret, and on the following day a draught for 601. came into Lis hands, which be was to carry to another destination. Hoping to recover what he had lost, he again went the gaming. house, and was again unfortunate. Distracted by t h e reflections conseqUent on his imprudence, on his return home lie resolved to put an end to his existence. He bade his relatives adieu, quitting the parlour in which they were'sitting, and the next moment the report of a pistol announced the desperate attempt upon his own life. The bullet lodged in the joint of the jaw ; it did not inflict a mortal wound, but shattered his face. Though severely injured, he is likely to recover. rifir *Ultt. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 23, 1833. Mr. MATTHIAS ATTwoon's long expected motion on the subject of the currency, came on last night for discussion, and after a debate of seven hours, was adjourned till this evening . We say on the subject of the currency, for although by far the larger part of his speech re ferred to the distress of the country, and the ne cessity of inquiring into its cause, he did not deny that his main object was to bring about, by means of the Committee, an excessive issue of paper, which must at last end in a Bank restriction Act. This being the real question before the House, Lord A LTICORP very properly so worded his amendment, as at once to make the point, in the first instance, to be decided, whether it was or was not expedient to alter the standard of value. The Gentlemen who afterwards spoke upon the question, were Mr. GROTE, Mr. COBBETT, Mr. FORSTER, and Mr. P. THOMSON. Mr. COBBETT is the only one of these Gentle men who is not, or has not been, engaged in commerce, and is the only one who did not strongly oppose Mr. ATTWOOD'S motion. Mr. GROTE and Mr. FORSTER, both bankers, who have gathered from their experience something more than the knowledge of the multiplication table, supported Lord ALTHORP'S amendment in short but convincing speeches. One fact was stated by Mr. FORSTER, which we have often advanced ourselves, but which cannot be too frequently repeated, as long as men can he found unblushingly to call the Act of 1819 one of spoliation and robbery. It was one of justice ; and why ? Because it was promised during the whole period of the depre ciation, that, as soon as we could, on the arrival of peace, a metallic currency would be again resorted to. All who entered into contracts of any kind in the -depreciated currency, knew perfectly well the certainty of the time arriving when Bank notes would be reduced within the limits to which the public confidence might prescribe them. The breach of faith would have been in not returning to cash payments, and although we have undoubtedly suffered by that act of common honesty, we should, after . 3 time, have to suffer still more by playing the rogue. What the result of the debat e will be we will not pretend to predicate, but as far as it has vet gone, reason and argument are against Mr. ATTWOOD, as well as justice. Mr. POULETT THoMSON'S speech was, as his speeches generally are, distinguished by a mass of facts of the most convincing description. We have great pleasure in referring our readers to it. The only flaw we observe in his reasoning is with respect to the poor's rate. There is no doubt that the wages of labour are now higher, taking into account the difference in the price of provisions, than they were during the period of depreciation, but for the same reason, although the money amount of poor's rate has been diminished since 1819, its actual weight has been much increased, as have the actual number of paupers. This misfortune, however, is not to be attributed to the change in the currency, and therefore, affects Mr. THoM- I i SON'S argument very little. If we may be illowed to hazard a conjecture, we should say ,hat the debate will not be closed even to-night. Nothing of any consequence took place in the House of Lords last night, except the adjournment (till Friday) of the debate on the second reading of the Stafford Witness In demnity Bill. The friends of Sir ROBERT PEEL are busily circulating a report that the Hon. Baronet has been three times invited to join Ministers during the last six months. We should not notice this report if it were not current in a respectable quarter, and we confidently hope that our notice of it may produce a contradiction from those who can alone contradict it with effect. The approbation bestowed by Sir ROBERT PEEL On the lamentable concession made by the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER to the Monopo lists, who have laboured so successfully against the removal of the restrictions from the public press, has been considered by some persons as in dicative of an understanding between Sir H. PEEL and the Government ; but we must confeas that we see nothing more in this than the natural satisfaction which a shrewd politician must feel at the conduct of an opponent whose weakness strengthens his own game. Neither is it to be inferred from the report that Sir H. PEEL intends to support Ministers in their opposition to Mr. MATTHIAS ATTWOOD'S motion, the object if wnich is to effect an alteration of the currency, that he has become the ally of the Whigs. A common regard for consistency must compel Sir ROBERT PEEL to take this course. We only wish that Ministers had done nothing else to conciliate the aid of the Honour able Baronet, than following up his views _upon finance, although we are by no means pre pared to say that those views were correct, We have seen Ministers and Sir ROBERT PEEL voting together on the Irish Coercion Bill, and have heard Sir ROBERT compliment ing a liberal CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER on the retention of a tax upon intellect which he cannot defend, but which, from his dread of the Conservatives and the monopolists of the press, he has not the courage to remove. It is distressing to see a man of Lord ALTHORP'S sterling honesty made the instru ment of a Tory faction ; and Ministers must not be burpr;sed that reports are current of their hav ing offered office to Sir ROBERT PEEL, when they take so much pains to secure his support by the sacrifice of principles which they had so long professed. We stated yesterday that the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had received so many com plaints relative to the mode in which he pro poses to reduce the duty on advertisements, that an alteration in his plan was reasonably to be expected. We learn this morning that, with the exception of two or three leading papers, Lord ALTPORP'S plan has given general dis satisfaction to the London Press, and that he has already received several serious remonstrances from the country. The chief objection to his plan seems to be that it is not calculated to afford the advantage to the public which he in tended, owing to its being unaccompanied by any reduction of the stamp duty. It is sup posed that as the leading papers for advertise ments have now as many as they can find room for, and indeed more, since they frequently re sort to the practice of giving double sheets, which is so much objected to by advertisers, they will not, if Lord ALTHORP'S plan be carried into execution, give the benefit to the advertisers, but charge the old price and keep the increased profit. Persons who know nothing of newspapers will imagine, perhaps, that this may be prevented by competition ; but this the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER effectually prevents by refusing to take off any portion of the stamp duty. Had this duty been materially reduced, the papers now in existence would have been able, by an increased sale, to command a fair share of advertisements, and other papers, some with new claims to patron age, might have been started ; but as an estab lished reputation as an advertising paper goes a great way, those papers which now take the lead for advertisements, will be able to maintain their monopoly, and to charge the old prices. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER admits, we understand, the reasonableness of this objec tion, but has not signified any intention of re ducing the stamp duty on newspapers. It is probable, however, that he will modify his plan respecting the advertisement tax, as he has re ceived so many complaints of its unnecessary complexity. German Papers confirm, what we mentioned yesterday, that the greatest ferment exists in Constantinople, so much so, as even to en danger the life of the SULTAN, and that ten battalions of Russian infantry, together with an auxiliary corps, have been ordered to set off in stantly fur Constantinople. These are to he fol lowed by eight other battalions, so that the posses sion of the Turkish capital by Russian troops, if t h e y be not anticipated by the rapid movements Of IBRAHIM, may shortly be calculated on. It would seem that the Sultan had already given orders that the fastnesses of Shuinla and Silistria should be surrendered into the hands of the Russians. The force of circumstances is thus fast driving Turkey into the power of its most implacable, hereditary'enemies. The French papers received this day, contain a long letter from the Viscount de CHATEAU'. BRIAND, relative to the Duchess de BERRI, in which he takes an opportunity of roundly rating the Government for having refused him permis sion to visit her Royal Highness, more especially as it was at her own express entreaty. The letter contains nothing worthy of extract, though it is marked by the Noble Author's usual elo quence and animation. When we observed yesterday that the Bel gian question had advanced a little, we took care to put the words in italics, to prevent its being supposed. that any material progress had been made in it. It appears now that the new propositions of M. DEDEL are almost as un acceptable as the last, and that the communi cation from Prince METTERNICH is a mere attempt to gain time. The answer already given by Lord PALMERSTON and M. de TAL LEYRAND amounts to a refusal to treat upon the terms proposed by M. DEDEL. The expulsion of the Correspondent of a London Morning Paper from Holland, by or• der of the KING, forms a singular contrast to the conduct of the King of BELGIUM under provocations of a much higher order. Not a week passes in which there is not a violent letter from Brussels in the columns of a 'Morn ing Paper against the King of BELGIUM and the Government ; and it is not unfrequently that these attacks are founded on gross mis representation. Yet we do not hear of any arbitrary proceeding towards the Correspondent who supplies these letters, although he is said to make a public boast at Brussels of the means of annoyance which he possesses in the English Press.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved for a rule to show cause why a crimin,l information should not be filed alainst John Marten Smithson, the proprietor of the Northampton Herald, for a libel on Mr. Spalding., /Inn in-law of the Lord Chancellor. The libel was contained in an account of a dinner at which Mr. Spalding presided, as steward of the Northampton races. It appe iced to come from a correspondent, and towed, that on the occa sion ofthe dinner Mr. Spalding had presided as steward, and that " The King" having been given as a toast, it was proposed to give " The Queen," when Mr. Spalding said to those by him, " Let us bitch her, and give the Royal Family," and that on its being represented to him that that course would not be acceptable to the company, Mr. Spalding ■aid, " Then, let us shake them together, and give the Queen and the Royal Family," which toast 'vas actually drunk. The article concluded in these terms :-- " Such conduct needs no comment." The Learned Counsel said he had the affidavit of Mr. Spalding dis tinctly denying the truth of this statement. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE-Take a rule to show cause. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have no arrivals this morning, with the exception of the French mail and estafette. The former states that the following from the East was posted up at the French Lloyd's Coffee-house:— " It ie stated that the Russian fleet has taken possession of the D trdanelles, and that ten thousand Russians have entered Constantinople; all was tranquil there, and it is asserted that AI. Broglie has received the above infor tnation." Accounts from Antwerp state that on the arrival of the French ship, the Two Brothers, from Havre, at the above port, crowds of persons flocked to the quay to salute the French flag; a sight they had not experienced for some time. W e hear that accounts have been received that Admiral Sartoriva was at Vigo on the 13th inst., and that two months pay fur his sailors hail been sent him. We understand that the Marquis I'almella is expected in London this day or to-morrow. FUNDS. The eatafette from Paris states that the Russian army has arrived at Selistree, on their march to Constantinople ; also that the second French Chambers are to open their session on the 2d of May, and no opening speech to be made. Mr. Attwood's speech last night on the currency is the general topic of conversation in the City this morning ; alti generally looked upon as a complete failure, and which was nowt ably refuted by the Whig party. To•night, no doubt, will give his machinations a dea , h• blow. Consols, which left t yesterday at El fur account, have not opened so good—at only 87i i ; little or nothing ooing as yet. HALF-PAST ONE. We have seen a private letter from Oporto, by the ar rival of yesterday, stating that the Pedroites' situation was greatly improved, and they had now six months provisions in the place. We have been favoured with a private letter from Oporto, dated the 11th April, as follows: " I will give you a true account of the state of our present situation. I can tell you, without hesitation, that it is most satisfactory. By this time, I tru.t, you know of our last two engagements. Owing to the beau iful weather which we have had for the last four weeks, we have landed provisions for 6 months, and if speculators were a less ambitious, we could get them cheaper than when I was here two meths ago; however, they are not very dear. We have received a part of the 1,500 French men that are coining out, which, added to the peat num btr of deserters that corns over every day, and also to 5,000 national troops, has increased our army very much. Indeed, our batteries are much better than when 1 left here." The Funds continu e steady at 871 i for the Account, with but little doing. We have received a Vienna paper of the 13th instant, which stares that the influeaz t prevails at Constantinople, and that the Sultan had been a t t ac k e d by it. In the Foreign Market there is nothing doing THREE O'CLOCK. Consols for the Account, 871 THE BLUE BAG.—Formerly to walk the streets with a blue hag was considered by no means dis. r eputable, as it marked the bearer as a member of the legal pro'ession • now, however, it has become the app e ndage on ly of thieves and tailors. AN ELOPEMENT.—We learn that one of t h e clerks in an extensive foreign house in Glasgow, has within these few days, in the absence of his employer, de camped, caking along with him betwixt 500/. and 6001. belonging to theeoncern. His employer is, we believe in the metropolis, and had, before leaving town, signed a blank check, which his faithful steward filled up, and drew accordingly. A search has been set on foot, but his route has not yet been discovered.-. Scotsman. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING, 1833.

AWFUL INSTANCE OF SUDDEN DEATH. —On Sunday evening Mr. TIERNEY, a j e a medical gentle man of some celebrity, though very eccentric, late of No. 4, Warwick-street, Cockspur.steeet, died in the fol lowing awful manner :—lt appeared that, for the last three weeks, the unfortunate gentleman had been cohabiting and living with a girl of the town, in that sink of iniquity, No. 9, in the Almonry, Westminster. About nine o'clock on Sunday evening he felt himself ra.ther unwell, and got one of the females in the houses to walk with him to Mr. LEARY, a surgeon, in Parliament-street. On the road he got into a cabriolet, but before he got to Mr. LEARY's he was a corpse. The body was removed by the police to St. Margaret's workhouse. Yesterday a number of highly respectable gentlemen were making inquiries after the deceased, and expressed the greatest surprised at his un fortunate end. In consequence of a medical survey having been held on Second Lieutenant O'CONNELL, of the Wool wich Division of the Royal Marines (previous to the hold ing of the courtmartial on that officer, for charges stated in our last), which reported him of weak intellect, the Court declined passing any sentence on the prisoner; the Admiralty, in consequence, have ordered him to be placed on half-pay. We are bound to notice that the country, in this case, is saddled with an annuity to an officer after only 18 months' service. Mr. O'CotrtrELL, from his first joining the corps, was known to he unfi t or any duty. We fear the Government has consented to this as a sort of peace-offering to the great Agitator, who is uncle to the party in question.—Hampshire Telegraph. fIATTON-GARDEN -- EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF RAPE, AGAINST FOUR Bova.—Yesterday JAMES FALL, aged 11, THOMAS WAKEFIELD, aged 11, THOMAS YOUNG, aged 10, and THOMAS RADLEY, aged 11, were charged With violating MARY GOULD, an intel ligent little girl only seven years of age, who resides with her parents in Somer's•court, Spa fields. The little girl stated that on Thursday night she was passing by the house in which WAKEFIELD resides, in Sumer's. court, when he seized hold of her, and, assisted by the other pri soners, dragged her into the passage. They then threw her down, and successively violated her person. She became very ill, and on being questioned by her mother, stated what had taken place. Dr. WHITMORE proved that violence hod been committed. The prisoners stood at the bar with the utmost hardihood, and denied the charge. Mr. LAING expressed his surprise that boys so young should have committed such an outrage. The prosecutor had given her evidence very clearly, and his only doubt was as to whether he should commit the priso ners on the capital charge. RADLEY'S father said he was an exciseman, and on promising to give his boy a sound thrashing he was allowed to take him hou e. YOUNG'S mother said his father was a coachman, and that the lived with two old ladies. He was ordered to he whipped. The prisoner, FALL, is a charity buy in St. Ai.drew's -chool. Mr. COLLINS, the master, was sent for, and in structed to explain the enormity of his offence ta the scholars, and to give him a severe 11 igging. Mi 11.

This is a complete sporting dictiona.rY• 311 one of the completest we ever Met vvi til. o f has the still further and rarer recoinmendation being edited by a gentleman w ho has alre.etis 11 distinguished himself by the freshness, varl and general excellence of his sporting Publicaj tions. The " Field Book" is the ` re production of the author of "Wild Sports st the West," a work which was among the 1 attractive of the last season, and 1113 Y se appropriately be called the " Country Gerl°f tleman's Vade Mecum." Th e range t‘ its information, as respects sporting I'l3 ters, is almost unbounded ; and is maderuPs of dull compilations from other works 0' the similar character ; but is, for the most party result of the author's own extensive Pers°.nh, experience. We may add, that the embell is h, meats throughout are numerous and of very sof penor character, particularly the engravingio the different classes of dogs an d horses. 'tt sportman's library can be pronounc ed cowr ie without the " Field Book." Of . THE PARLIAMENTARY POCKE n e , PANION POR 1833. SEcoivo Evi ri ; It will be recollected that we notice' - n of approbation the appearance of the first edit -le-0 this work, but suggested some improvementt,e, its arrangement. We are gr a tified to °hser n , that the compilers have adopt e d our stigg est io; and the consequence has been that sP 3ce ce hti been gained for a variety of additional o f matter, the most important of which are l ists to the Privy Council, Parliamentary ag ents ' 01 1 Club-houses, and accounts of the proceedi4oo private bills. With respect to the cotrec:m in this edition, they chiefly consist in t he ae up of omissions. The few mista kes t he had noted in the first edition, have, for„ still most part, been corrected, but one or tilt ,5 remain. The principal mistake on " rli e9 of yet uncorrected, occurs in the account g' s9 l,o . Mr. Lefevre. , He is, we believe, grand pep- d e i; not nephew, of Mr. Lefevre the Banker ; decejo NV his father, if our memory does n°t us, who changed his name from Shaw to L e ' t - t hii We have the less hesitation in pointing 01). tir r) error, as really amongst such a mass of ° us . , even some hundreds such would be ve r y el tt c ie of h able in the first edition of a work, in s° li s hea r which assistance could b e d er i ve d from `he I c hetl of predecessors. We imagine, from a note att3-t the to the account given of Mr. O'Connell' rhfsfrota compilers have received som e intimation .I',el that gentleman that he is n o t a " King's C°ti ni 3l and a brewer." In order that our reade rs t he judge of the merits of the question, Ice 15). t 0r note before them. After reiterating t he 5 o ct ment of his being a brewer, the co mpil ers , o nt " Since the above was written, we ha ve ,: e iaa that it is in the name of Daniel O'Conn e , o ef the brewery is carried on, but that th e crj bi te? invested in it was part of a year's gl file fact of Mr. Daniel O'Connell, jun ., uieb t . 1 :0 minor, prevented our buspecting the rss of a mistake, if, indeed, we have Coallite of one."
