LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGU&T 25, 1821. The Paris Journals of Wednesday, which ar rived this morning, contain no additional intel ligence respecting the state of affairs between Turkey and Russia.—The following are ex tracts NUREMBERG, Atra. 15. [EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.] " We learn from good authority that the King Maximilian Joseph has left Munich for the Castle of Tegernsee, in Upper Bavaria, where this Mo narch is to have an interview with the Emperor of Austria, who will be accompanied by the Em- Press, daughter of his Bavarian Majesty. It is said that important subjects will be discussed at this interview. " The last news from Constantinople received at Vienna which came down to the 21st of July, are of a very afflicting nature. The persecution 1)r the Greeks recommenced on the 19th, and *i•^•ce that day the soldiers and people set no bounds to their fury ; upwards of 400 Christians have been massacred in the streets. " Recent letters from Petersburg shew that O nly one opinion prevails throughout the vast empire of Russia, respecting the war against Russia, which manifests itself with the greatest energy even among the lowest classes. The troops wish ardently to attack the Turks, and this enthusiasm animates equally the officers and the privates. 44 FRANKFORT, AUG. 16.—Many Officers of different nations continue to arrive in the large towns of the North of Germany, on their way to Join the Greeks. " The Russian corvette which the Turks lately Seized and disarmed, had dispatches on board f or Baron de Strogonoff from the Russian Go 7ernment. This circumstance is regarded in a l er,' serious light, for it is a manifest violation of t he rights of nations. " B EaLIN, AUG. 12.—According to an Official f ,„ al.et te, since the publication of the appeal ad dressed by Professor Kruz, of Leipsic, to the Germans, urging them to form societies and to ras e subscriptions in behalf of the oppressed 4-r eeks, fourteen young men have already left .I 'e i Psic for Moldavia, to fight under the banners °f the Christians. " POSEN, JULY 27.—The corps of the Russian Guards, cantoned on the banks of the Dwina, as We ll as the Lithuanian corps d'arrnee and the Erst division of the first army, have received °l. ders to advance, and to march to the South east frontiers, to join the army under Count de IV'ttegenstein. They will be immediately re placed by other troops from the interior ; and ev ery things shows that Russia will put in mo ll" a very large portion of its military forces, to t il t an end t o th e b ar b arous u surpation of Greece the Crescent. On her part, the Porte,accord ing to letters from Odessa, has assembled an army of 10 0,000 men on the shores of the Bospho- III ') a number sufficient, if not to render doubtful, t least to re t ar d l onger t h an i s d es i ra bl e f or th e In terests of humanity,the success of so important contest.

The soldiers are to be considered as our fellow-citizens, as well as our fellow-countrymen, and ought to be treated with respect and sympathy. They were acting in conformity to their duty. The mob were bar barously opposing them in the execution of that duty,most probably in obedience to the self-elected ESCORT COMMITTEE, as they styled themselves, who had no right to interfere on the occasion, and who doubtless had previously arranged with the leaders of the mob what steps the mob should pursue, in order to change the course of the Pro cession from that which had been ordered by Go vernment, for the purpose of preventing the City from being disturbed, considering the enormous in flux of people who might be expected to assemble there, if the funeral had proceeded in that direc tion.To this s ELF-ELECTED, officious, obtrusive,and mischievous Escort Committee, may doubtless be imputed the breaking up of the roads, the placing of the waggons, carts, and all the impediments, which ended in the loss of two men, who, how ever innocent they might be, could hardly expect, when mingled with a horde of ruffians, to escape from that spirit of resentment in the soldiery which the persevering violence and barbarity of the mob had excited. To judge from events is the practice with ordinary minds, but it is diffi cult to anticipate the best course in a doubtful case. It might have been better if Government had suffered the funeral to proceed in the course which seemed to be the wish of a party who have too much influence with the multitude; but it was not. possible to suppose that the mob and their Leaders would proceed to those daring extre mities, which produced bloodshed, are now agitat ing the'rninds of the people, and disturbing the peace of the Country.

DREADFUL OUTRAGE ON THE PREVENTIVE SERVICE IN SCOTLAND.—'Thursday night information was received at Bow-street, of a most daring attack made on Captain HASTIE, and a boat's crew of the Earl Moira revenue cutter, by an armed body of smugglers, off the coast of Shetland, by which one man was killed, two mortally, and several others danger ously wounded. From the pat ticulans transmitted to town, it seems that Captain 11. having for some days observed a dark, suspicious looking vessel off Whalsey Island, on the Shetland coast, on the morning of the 4th instant manned a boat, and proceeded' to examine her by virtue of the King's authority.— The strange vessel allowed him to come so close, that he heard several of the men on board speak very good English ; but when he attempted to board, a heavy discharge of musketry was given him by the smugglers, which at once brought down three of his mariners, killing one on the spot. The Captain made a second gallant effort, but the galling fire of his adversary so thinned the brave little party, that they were obliged to retreat, and the lugger got off, with her cargo, which is supposed to have consisted of smuggled tea, gin, and tobacco. From some circumstances that have transpired,—it is suspected that the smuggler came from the coast of Kent, probably Deal, and of ricers have set off thither to make inquiries. The Commis sioners of Excise have offered a reward of 1001. for the appre hension of any of the parties. Mr. ANTONIE 'VALORANI, Courier to his Se rene Highness Prince Nrcor.as ESTERHAZY, ar rived on Thursday at Chandos-house, in seven days, from Vienna, with important dispatches for his Serene Highness and Prince PAUL ESTER HAZY.

CORONER'S INQUEST.—Thursday night an inquisition was taken before THOMAS STIRLING, Esq. coroner, in the Board room. of the Workhouse of the Liberty of the Rolls, in Bream's- buildings, Chancery-lane, on the body of Thomas Scott, aged 40.—1 t appeared that the deceased was by trade a shoemaker, and formerly lived in respectability ; but for the last two years had been a pauper in the above workhouse.— Wednesday night, a woman who was also a pauper named Mary Bray, went into the long ward, an which the deceased lay, fbr the purpose of making the beds.— The deceased, who was then in bed, desired her to go into the upper ward, and ask a man named Harwood for his cutting knife, as he .(deceased) wanted to cut his corns. Witness fetched the knife and gave it the de ceased, who then told her to make the. beds at the other end of the ward first, and by that time his would be ready. Shortly after, the woman on going to the bed found the deceased co vered with blood. Mr. Owen, the surgeon, was sent for, when on examination it was found that the deceased had cut the sinues cf his left arm, near the joint, completely to the bone.— All attempts to stop the blood were fruitless, and he died soon afterwards. He had appeared desponding and wild for some days. Verdict—lnsanity. A melancholy catastrophe has carried desola tion into the family of the Marshal Prince D'Ecx•- 3tunr.. His eldest daughter, who last year married M. Vigier,. jun., Proprietor of the Baths on the Seine, was happily delivered of a son, eight days ago, at the chateau de Savigny, department of the Seine and Oise. Her health was in a very favourable state, and there was every reason to hope her prompt recovery. On Sunday, the 19th instant, her young sister swallowed a pin, which, after long and painful efforts, was extracted. In the mean time, an imprudent person ran with a countenance betraying great terror, and informed Madame Vigier of the disaster, which caused so sudden and Niolent a revulsion of nature, that in two hours, notwithstanding every professional aid, she expired. She had not attained the age of 18.—(Pty, is Paper.) The new line of road from Sheffield to Man chester, through Glossop, is now completed.

DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS, August 25. [THE TimEs.l At a late hour last night we received the con-1 eluding accounts from the Inquest which sat on the body of George Francis. The verdict which they have brought in is " PVilful, Murder against 'a Life Guardsman unknown." With pain we record this afflicting verdict, because it gives us deep concern that a British soldier should, on the oath of 14 respectable,citizens, deserve to be charged with such a crime. Whether the same anxious and disgraceful efforts will be made to screen the criminal from public justice, as before the nature of his offence was determined by the voice of a tribunal recognized by the laws and Constitution of England, a day or two perhaps may decide. No blame can be thrown upon the respectable portion of the Press, at least, for any attempt on its part, to bias, corrupt, or inti midate the Jury. The verdict is as it ought to beL---their own. In spite of all the re proach and impatience man:fested, the In quest listened to and weighed the evidence -; they heard all that could be told of the origin, progress, and dreadful results of the attack made (as they have now most solemnly decided) on the people. The principal circumstance in the great mass of testimony delivered on this Inquest, to`which we feel it necessary to turn the atten- Gott of our readers, is this :—That although stones and brickbats were flung by the people before the firing, none were thrown until after the soldiers had been seen by a crowd of wit nesses cutting at the people with their swords. The above fact is of prime importance, because it ascertains the authors of the original aggression. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The - proceedings of yesterday, at the inquest on the body of Richard Honey, offered the most convincing proof how much better the ends of justice would have been answered, by the ad-: mission of the Jury into the Barracks along with .the witnesses, than by their exclusion. The Jury, instead of seeing themselves what really took place, the looks of the witnesses, the decision or embarrassment of their manner, the observations made by them in identifying any individual, and the tone of certainty or hesitation in which they were delivered, were obliged to content them selves with such selections from his meagre notes as Mr: Stafford, the Chief Clerk of Bow street, chose to communicate to them. This is contrary to the spirit of the English law, and the uniform practice of our Courts, in which the best evidence of any thing which can,possibly he obtained, is always taken in pre ference. it would not he more absurd to appoint a Clerk or other officer of a Court of Law, to take the evidence, and report his impression of it to the Jury, than it was to make Mr. Stafford the medium of communicating to .the Coroner's Jury, the important part of the evidence given in the Knightsbridge Barracks. Mr. Stafford had made some memoranda in pencil to assist his me mory, but he could not swear to the exact words, nor could he part with his book, and lie briefly described his impression of the manner in which the witnesses pointed out individuals. The Foreman with great good sense observed to the Coroner—" It is evident now that it would have been of great moment if the Jury had been present at the inspection ; much time would have been saved to you and the Jury, as well as sa tisfaction given to the public." [NLw TIMES.] One of the Coroner's Juries has returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against a Life Guards man unknown. This event was to have been an ticipated from spirit w hich has been but too evident in these proceedings. For our own part, we have most cautiously abstained from any remark ~tihatever on the evidence, while the inquiry was pending ; but now it is over, we must say that, in our opinion, a clearer case of justifiable homi cide, upon the evidence, never was shewn. And we think the Jurors would so have found it, if the Coroner had clearly explained to them what justifiable homicide is, and how the facts deposed to bore upon that point. It is distinctly laid down, that "in case of a riot or re bellious assembly the officers, in endeavouring to disperse the mob, are justifiable at Common Law in killing them, if they resist."—(l Hal. P. C. 495.-1 Hawk. P. C. 161.)—0f course it is not to be understdod• that men are to be killed wantonly, even in a riot; but where the riot cannot 1.;,. otherwise suppressed, or where, in at tempting to suppress it, the officer (by which we understand any person civil or military authorised and directed to assist in keeping the peace and preventing a forcible crime) is himself placed in hazard of his life, there, both for the ad vancement of public justice, and for self-de fence, the homicide is justifiable. Nay, this prin ciple is carried so far, in our law, that if a stranger interpose to part the combatants, in a common affray, giving notice to them of that intention, and they assault him, and in the struggle he happens to kill one of them, this is justifiable ho micide ; and the reason given for it is remark able : " because it is every man's duty to inter pose for the preservation of the public peace." [MORNING POST.] The Jury sitting on the body of Geo. Francis, who lost his life when a brutal attack was made on the Military, have brought in a verdict of " Wilful Murder against a Lifeguardsman to them unknown." When we call to mind the disposition which they evinced in the course of the proceedings, it would be affectation in us to say that we are surprised at the result. But if we do not experience surprise, we feel both regret and alarm. For we think that after such a verdict as the present, so much discredit will be thrown upon an Institution which had hitherto been considered as the safeguard of life, property, and liberty, that in future it will lose both its dignity and efficacy. At this moment, however, our immediate attention is called to the extraordinary charge which was deli vered by the Coroner last night to the Jury, sit- ng on the body of George Francis. The Coro- ti er, it is to be remembered, is the Judge of the Court. The office of the Jury is to ascertain the facts, while that of the Judge is to instruct them in the law, to which those facts are to be applied. This being premised, it follows, that if the Judge has grossly mistaken the law, the verdict which originates in his mistake, must fall to the ground. These, we boldly assert, are propositions which cannot he denied ; and we proceed to skew their application to this charge of the Coroner. In a few sentences he takes the two extremes of the law, and brings them under the consideration of the Jury, leaving all the intermediate poiuts untouched. The import of his charge is this : " If you find that the deceased was not killed ia " self-defence, you must find that he was mur dered." Surely, this Gentleman has yet to learn the rudiments of the legal profession ; surely, he has yet to be informed of the various degrees of criminality which the law attaches to the depriv ing of a fellow-creature of life. The first degree of criminality is called " Chance-medley," % hich consists of accidental killing, but not without some fault in the person giving the blow. The next degree is called" Excusable Homicide," where the killing is intended ; but under circum stances which, morally, though not legally, justify the giving of the mortal blow. The 3d degree is ca ed "Simple," or" Culpable Homicide," where the killing is intended, and is without excuse, but is without previous malice. The next (al most the last) order of criminality is that which the law designates by the name of " Wilful Murder," where the killing is intended, is wit`:- out excuse, and is the result of previous malice, either proved in evidence or implied in law. Nut one of these degrees was brought under the no tice of the Jury in this important case, al though it was a case, of all others, which sheaved. the wisdom of the law in making out the va. rious distinctions of guilt which we have enu merated. DESPERATE AND FATAL. OUTRAG. On Wednesday night (15th instant), upwards of two hundred misguided wretches, mostly armed, many of them mounted on horseback, and the entire dressed in whi:e shirts, surrounded the house of Mr. John Ives, a tithe-proctor, at Inchirourke, near Askheaton. After dragging him out of the house, on the highway, they proceeded to adminisnr oaths, prohibiting him from ever interfering in tithe business.; ; and, while thus employed, a party of Mr. Going's police, consisting of seventeen sub-constables, under the com mend of Thomas Doolan, Esq. Chief Peace Officer, ap proached the house, having received private informatics in Rathkeale that such proceedings would take place :during the night. On being challenged by Mr. Doolan, and com manded to surrender, they drew up in regular line for battle, and immediately commenced firing on the police, by an °tale: from their leader. In that discharge, one of the police named Thomas Manning, was shot dead. Mr. Doolan instantly or dered his party to fire in return, which was quickly obeyed, and a regular volley obliged the assailants to break line, and disperse in all directions. A charge was then made by the police, who succeeded in taking three prisoners, in full costume; two were also found dead, similarly attired. A pursuit after the fugitives took place, and maniskirrnislies occurred, in which upwards of sixty shots were fired by the police. From every information that can be collected, great numbers have been wounded, and we are told several dead bodies are concealed in the neighbourhood. Thche found by the police, in the first instance, were taken to Rathkeale, where they were interred on Thursday without coffins, in a large hole dug by their companions, in a piece of waste ground hear the guard house. The two prisoners were compelled by Mr. Going perform all the offices at the burial ; after digging the hole, they were obliged to bear the bodies and place them beneath, and afterwards to shake quick lime plentifully over them. Another of the gang died last night in a hut on the mountain, where he had been removed from the scene of action .; his name is Moran, and was brother to one of the prisoners in Custody: he was shot through the abdomen. Many more would have been shot by the police, but after the first volley the fellows all dismounted, and took shelter behind their horses. ' The roads in the neighbourhood of Askheaton present a most horrid appearance; streams of blood in various parts, and th.e different gaps, across which the wounded were borne away, are all besmeared with blood. There were fifteen horses brought into Rathkeale by the Po lice, upon which those wretches were mounted,but had deserte.?; many of them were dreadfully wounded. A considerable number of spits, old scythes, and some &e -arms, were brought into Rathkeale by the Pollee. Mr. Doolan missed fire twice at the leader of the gang, his pistol having got wet. He was very close to him at the time, and would certainly have shot him dead, had the pistol gone off: Before the police came near Ives's house, there were regular sentinels placed at different points, to give the main body notice of any- alawn. When they were challenged, the answer was, " We are Christians." After the volley fired by the police, the captain, or leader cf the gang, who was attired in a most conspicuous manner, with a white dress, a cocked hat and feathers, endeavoured to rally his troops, but without effect. It is supposed, from the numbers, that the Police would hay.: suffered severely, were it not for the wetness of the night, which must have had its effect upon the fire-arms, with which they seemed to be well stocked. Yesterday, a strong cavalry detachment of the Police, well equipped, conveyed three of this notable gang to the County Jail ; they were brought in on horsebatit, and exactly in the dress as when taken.. Their names are Michael Moran, Michael Halloran, and Michael Fitzgerald. One of them, we are told, is willing to give full information against the entire party. The Sub-Sheriff. while remonstrating with the prisoners., while in the yard of the County Jail, asked them whether then had not been at prayers last Sunday, and whether th had not heard a very strong and impressive Sermon froni the Clergyman, to desist from illegal proceedings, which were freely answered in the affirmative. The committal of those persons, by Richard Going, Esq., Chief Magistrate of Police, runs thus :—" Fir being thre? of a Body of armed Rebels, (consisting of about- 9.00,) :.-p -prehended on the night of the 15th inst. at Inchirourke, near Askeaton, in an engagement between said Rebels a - i,d the County of Limerick Police, in which Thomas Manning, Sub- Constable, was shot dead."—(Limerick Chronicle.) Peckham and Camberwell fairs have just con cluded, and if We may judge by the numbers of persons apprehended for picking pockets at these celebrated places of annual resort for the citizens of London and Westminster, their harvest must have been considerable. Tuesday evening two children, James Saun ders and Edward Morton, between three and four years of age, being at play near the Grey hound, at Hendon, unfortunately fell into a draw-well, which had been left uncovered, atzd both were `drowned.
