GERMAN PAPERS. German Papers to a late date arrived last night, from which we extract the following im portant intelligence respecting the disturbed state of the Turkish Provinces :- 44 CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCH 5.—A concur rence of circumstances which, according to some persons, is a mere effect of chance, while others see it in the result of political combinations, ap pears calculated to increase daily the internal embarrassments in which the Ottoman Porte ha s been entangled for some time. The war in Alba nia, commenced last spring, is not yet terminated and already Servia has claimed, some months since, important privileges, and the demand was made with a degree of confidence which made it necessary to comply with it. Serious disorders have broken out in the countries near to Persia, which have required the employment of a very con*leiable proportion of the Ottoman forces. In Arabia the Wechabites have assembled their hordes and threaten a new war., In these dif 6calteonionctares, and at the moment when the Porte. was, as it were, on the point of inditig it. self its urgent need of the forces under Mahomet Ali, the Viceroy of Egypt, to oppose thttn to the wa,acterist' g hordes which his son Ismael Pacha had before consinered, it has imprudently threatened 'that, powerful chief with a maritime expedi tion, with a view if not wholly to strip him of his power, - at least (which would be the same to to deprive him of his 'treasures which it un willingly sees in his hands. This step being taken, whether the expedition takes place or not, Mahomet Ali, well aware of the intentions of the Poste towards him, can no longer be - considered but as an enemy, more or less avowedly. While the Government was already oppressed by so many burdens, an insurrection broke out in Wa lachia ; at first it was hoped that it would be speedily suppressed, but we now learn that it has extended to Moldavia, threatens to extend to all the countries of the Empire which are not Muss:el/nen, and that it is the result of a plan to sisparate all the Greek provinces from the Otto man dominions. To the obscure leader, the Wa lachian Theodore, who first raised the standard of *volt, has succeeded the young Ypsilanti, a name equally distinguished and honoured among the Greeks, and son of the liospodar, who was for a long time a refugee in Russia : a young Prince in the lower of his age may have at once two objects in view—to► change the fate of the whole Greek nation, and to avenge the long pro sctiption oft father whose fight and exile he shared, and above all, the blood oft grand father, who in his old age was torn from his re treat'on the Bosphorus, and almost in the midst of his whole family loaded with chains,-strip ped of his possessions, and inhumanly put to death by . the Porte. " IV hatever be the fate which awaits tis, and with whatever indifference the events - which pass upon as may be viewed in the West, it is Ito fess true, in our opinion, that the tower of Le ander, in the angle of the seraglio, is the fulcrum ha which the interests of the North and of the South of Asia are balanced and held in men. L-rium, and that the 0 tteman Empire,whatever be 'the state of calamity to which it is now reduced, is still the key -stone of the political arch of this Ipart of the globe-'--a key-stone which opposite 'combinations may tend with equal persevereace, - some to maintain firmly in its place, others vio • • lently to lean from it. Under such Circumstances, it cannot be uninteresting to be able to appre , ct ,. ate the military force which the Porte has still its disposal to meet the dangers with which it is now threatened.

THE LATE FATAL DUEL. •At ten o'clock yesterday morning the Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT and Mr. Justice PARK took their seats on the Bench, which was crowded by a number of Persons of Distinction. The Court was also crowded to hear the trial of Messrs. Christie, Trail, and Patmore, the Gen tlemen unfortunately implicated in the late duel in which Mr. Scott fell. As soon as the Judges had taken their seats, Mr. Christie and Mr. Trail appeared on the steps of the witness-box ; and Mr. GURNEY, who was their Counsel, announced that these Gentlemen► attended to surrender and take their trials upon an indictment found by the Grand Jury against them for murder. Messrs. Christie and Trail, who seem to be about 25 years of age, and were dressed in deep mourning, then surrendered in form to Mr. Shelton, the Clerk of Arraigns. They were immediately placed at the bar. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE . said, that on refer ring to the indictment he observed the name of a third person, Mr. PatmQre, included therein, and wished to know if that Gentleman was also forth coming to take his trial. Mr. GURNEY said he understood that gentle man was not now in Court. Mr. Justice PARK desired that Mr. Patmore should be called on his recognisances. Mr. Shelton replied that no recognisances had been entered into by the parties. The indictment, charging the P‘iisoners at the ,bar with the Wilful Murder of John Scott, Esq. on the 16th of February - last, at Chalk-farm, was read to them ) and they severally pleaded Not Guilty. The Jury being now sworn, 'ana the prisoners given in charge, Mr. WALFOaD rose to state the case for the prosecution. Ile commenced by assuring the Jury that it Was difficult for him to find adequate language to convey'any idea of the painful feelings with which he rose to state the evidence Ire had to adduce in support of his indictment against the gentlemen at the bar. It wasimpossible for him, when he recollected the rank #n society in which these gentlemen moved, and when he reflected upon the fatal consequences which might ensue to them upon this trial—it was, he repeated, im possible for him to behold their situation without emotion. The man, who standing there, could do so, must have firmer nerves than he possessed. He should, however, endeavour to discharge the painful duty which devolved upon him, as clearly and succinctly as he was enabled to do by the instructions which he held in his hand. He must, however, premise his statement of the facts of the case, by entreating the Jury to dismiss altogether from their minds all pre vious statements which had reached them re specting this melancholy transaction. He trusted they were fully sensible that their verdict must alone be founded upon the evidence which would this day be legally submitted for their considera tion. That could alone be the proper and legi timate source of the information upon which they would be warranted in acting. This prosecution was, he said, instituted by the relatives of the deceased. In bringing it forward, they were actuated alone by an anxiety to have the matter calmly and deliberately investigated. They dis claimed all vindictive feeling, and were only anxious that the facts should be examined before the proper authorities, and such conclusions drawn from them as the law authorized. It so happened that of the nature or extent of the provocation which had led to this unhappy affair the Jury must remain uninformed. Upon that part of the transaction he had no evidence to offer. The deceased Mr. Scott was a gentleman Well known in the literary world ; and at the time when this unfortunate affair happened was the oditier of a well known periodical work tall td the Laudon Magasin. Mr. Christie, one of the gentlemen at the Iran Was, he understood, a tenveyeeter. The other gentleman, Mr. Trail, was also of the profer3ion of the law, and a barrister. He had already informed them they must remain ignorant of what passed be tween the principals in this unhappy affair : whatever it was ) it , probably occurred in secret, in such a manner as to preclude the possibility of its being made matter of evidence. • From what would appear before them they would find that a medical gentleman ) of the name of Pettigrew, residing in Spring. Garden s) was requested by Mr. Patmore to meet hint and Mr. Scott the same night, at Chalk Farm, in his capacity as a sur geon. He went, according to the direction of Mr. Patmore, to the Hampstead-road, in a post chaise with Mr. Morris, his pupil; when they came to theavenue leading from the Hampstead road to Chalk Farm, they alighted from the chaise, and, after passing through the avenue, ascended the hill behind the house. Mr. Morris, who went first, would inform them that lie thought he heard a shot fired as he ascended the hill. It did not appear that Mr.Pettigrew heard this shot; but they both distinctly heard the knocking and priming of pistols, and they observed four or five gentlemen standing in the field beyond the hedge, two of them apart from the rest. At that moment they heard another shot, and saw one gentleman fall. They immediately proceeded over the hedge into the field, where the parties were, and saw Mr. Scott on the ground, and a gentleman, whom they supposed to be Mr. Christie, speaking to him, in extreme distress and agitation. They heard Mr. Scott say that all was fair, and the other gentleman who was speaking to him fe -1 marked, with great emotion, that it was a pity he should have been permitted to fire a second time, having fired his first pistol down the field. The attention of the medical gentlemen was then di rected to Mr. Scott, and Mr./Pettigrew thought that the best step he could take was to have him removed to town, and he set out himself to Mr. Scott's lodgings, to prepare for his reception.— After waiting in town some time, he was sur prized that Mr. Scott had not arrived, and he concluded, what ultimately proved to be the fact, that he was found too weak for removal. He immediately returned to Chalk Farm to see the deceased. In the course of that night Dr. Dar ling, an eminent physician, was called :o Chalk , Farm to attend Mr. Scott, and the latter nude a communication to the Doctor, respecting wlat occurred on the ground and the parties engaged in it ; bbt,,for 'reasons he would state ) he should abstain from now 'relating that tonversatiOn.-- ACCording to law the declaration of a man be; lieving himself to be dying, was evidence against a prisoner. The law held that what was stated by a than on the brink of eternity was equivalent to what was said on the so lemnity of an bath, and, therefore, safe evi- dence for a jury. Now a 'question . would here arise, whether at the time Mr. SColt made this declaration, 'there was reason to believe that he' thought ilitnself in a dying state ; that he felt himself in great danger was clear ; but it would be for the Court to say, when Dr. Darling was called, whether the deceased at the time felt his danger so imminent as to entitle his declaration to the force of legal evidence. Ile should there fore abstain from saying any thing more upon that point until they heard the witness. Mr. Scott continued at Chalk Farm from the night of Friday, the 16th of February, when he died. These were the circumstances which he had to detail to them in evidence ; and he should now say a_few words upon the law of the case. If two parties quarrelled, and in the heat of pas sion, or before their feelings had time to cool, and reason to resume her influence, went forth in a hostile manner towards each other, and that one of them lost his life, the law would deem it not murder ) but manslaughter. But if (no mat ter what was the provocation or original circum stances attending the quarrel) a sufficient time had elapsed between the provocation and the ca tastrophe, so as to afford presumption that the passions had cooled, then the law allowed no mitigation of its severity, and the parties im plicated incurred all the penalties of com mitting wilful murder. The law, which was framed to restrain the impetuosity of hu man passion, allowed no man to become the avenger of his own quarrel : the law provided redress for any injury that could be inflicted upon any man, and all were bound to resort to that law for redress. 'There remained but one consi deration more, and that was, whether any doubts were entertained in the minds of the Jury as to the prisoners at the bar being the persons en gaged in the transaction ; if so, they were., of course, bound to acquit them. Of this he had no expectation. It would rest with the Jury to take all the facts of the case into their most se rious consideration, and to return that verdict which their own consciences, after mature deli beration, dictated. The first witness was Mr. Thomas Joseph Pet tigrew.. He had no 4 he said, been acquainted with the dtceimea, btt he knew, for many years, Patmore, who called open him on Friday evening, the 16th February-, and stated that, in consequence of something which had arisen out of an affair between Mr. Scott and Mr. Lock hart, Mr. Patmore requested hint (Mr. Petti grew) to attend in the neighbourhood of Chalk Farm on the same evening. lie went there ac cordingly, in a postchaise, accompanied by his pupil, W. B. Morris: He got to the lane lead ing to Chalk Farm about eight o'clock on the same evening. It was moonlight. They pro ceeded through the lane towards the fields, and at last reached the top of the hill. He •then saw some Gentlemen in a field, two of them walking backwards and forwards, and two others by the side of the hedge. He then heard the knocking of pistols, the priming of them, and flashing of pans. Soon afterwards both pistols were fired. He heard the sound, and saw the flash. He next heard an exclamation from one of the gentlemen, as if wounded. Witness got over the hedge, and found Mr. Scott on his knees on the ground. He pointed out to witness his being wounded on the right side; the other gentlemen were support ing him. At that time there was no conversation. Witness partly undressed Mr. Scott, and examined the wound. Mr. Scott was fainting. One of the gentlemen (which of them he does not know) came up and took him by the hand, and ex pressed a wish that he had himself, rather than Mr. Scott, been in his situation. This was when Mr. Scott was fainting; upon his recovery, he said—" Whatever :nay be the issue of this case, I beg you all to bear in remembrance that every thing has been fair and honourable." Daring the time witness was examining the wound, an alter cation took place between Mr. Patmore and another gentleman. He did not distinctly hear the whole of the conversation, except that Mr. Patmore said—" Why was it not communicated to me—l knew nothing of it ?" A gentleman, during this altercation, came up to witness, and asked him if the wound was mortal. He answered he feared it was, if it entered the cavity of the abdomen. The gentleman was in great agony, wringing his hands, and exclaimed—" G 0.3 d God ! why was I permitted to fire a second time ? I fired down the field—l could do no more." No thing more passed on the spot. The wound was the cause of Mr. Scott's death. Cross examined by Mr. GURNEY.—The Gen tleman alluded to did say that when he fired down the field the first time s he was obliged to fire the second time in his own defence—he al). peared certainly in great agony, and manifested the most humane solicitude for Mr. Scott. Wit ness left them in the act of carrying him to the house. Witness said, in answer to questions by the Judge, the night was not sufficiently clear to dis tinguish the persons of either of the two Gentle men whom be saw in the field. Wm. Bevill Morris examined by Mr. WALFORD. —On his way to Chalk-farm on the evening men tioned in the indictment, he was in a chaise with Mr. Pettigrew,and heard the report of a pistol shot. They made for the spot, and they heard a noise like ramming pistols, and two heads appeared above the hedge ; on his approach he saw two gentlemen presenting pistols at each other, they fired, and the one nearest him on the right fell. He went and assisted to raise him from the ground. A conversation ensued between two of the •gen tlemen, one, he believed, was Mr. Patmore, the other he does not know. By Mr. Pettigrew's desire, he went for the •postchaise in which they came down. On his return for the chaise he was stopped at the farm-house, and on returning to wards the field found they were bringing the deceased on a shutter towards Chalk-farm: Four or five gentlemen were round hito. The pri- soner, ailstie ) was 'one of those in the room, but he caf:ii't say if he was in the field. Hoili Watson is landlord of Chalk Farm ; re members some gentlemen coming on the evening the affair happened, ab o ut a quar t er t o n i ne o ' c l oc k, and had a bottle of wine. lie should not know them again. About 90 minutes after they had left the house an alarm was given of an accident having occurred in the field. On bringing Mr. Scott in, he remembers the two gentlemen at the bar being there ; soon after the latter of the two (Mr. Christie) went away. They conducted them , selves with humanity towards Mr. Scott. James Ryan was 'hostler at Chalk-farm tavern he remembered, on the Friday evening, some gentlemen having had a bottle of wine at his mas ter's; they stopped 20 minutes ) but he ktiew not who they were. lie afterwards described their departure ; and soon -after the alarm of an acci dent in the field he went forth ; and found a wounded gentleman ; he assisted to get him upon a shutter, with the assistance of four or five other gentlemen present ) who came when he called them. They took the wounded gentleman into the house. He had no knowledge of the gentle. men who were present on the occasion. Thomas Smith is a carpenter, and lived at that time at Kentish Town. lie was at work at Chalk Farm when the alarm was given, and went ' to, the field with Ryan. The prisoner Trail was one of the gentlemen in the field. Dr. George Darling is a physician, living in Brunswick-square." lie was called on by Mrs. Scott to attend Mr. J. Scott, in the middle of the night between Friday and Saturday; he found him sensible, but he certainly was in great dans. ger. Witness communicated to him his opinion, Mr. Scott asked if the wound was necessarily mortal ; and he was answered it was not neces sarily mortal. He was told that it was just pos.: sable his intestines might not have been perforated ) in which case recovery was possible. Mr. Scott then inquired of Surgeon Guthrie, and said, " I have only one question to ask—ls my wound ne cessarily mortal ?" The answer given was— " Not necessarily." This was before the ball was extracted. Mr. Guthrie added, that it was a case of the greatest danger ; but lie had seen recovery from similar wounds. Mr. Scott replied, " I am satisfied i ." and laid his head down on the pillow again: Mr. Scott made a statement to witness of what took place in the field. The conversation respecting his state of danger took place at the first visit, on the following morning (Saturday morning) before the ball was extracted. Mr. GURNEY left it to the Court whether Mr. Scott's statement, under the circumstances, could be received in evidence. The LORD CIIIEF JUs'licE, Mr. Justice PARK, and Mr. COMMON' SEROEANT, consulted together for a short time, when his Lordship delivered the opinion of the Court that the statement could not be received, as it did not appear that Mr. Scott thought himself at the point of death at the time when he made the declaration : he had been told that his wound was not necessarily mortal, unless the intestines were perforated. There might have been still a hope that that had not taken place which rendered the wound mortal. The declaration could not, therefore, be received in the sense of that of a dying man. Mr. WALFORD having closed his case on the part of the prosecution, - Mr. GwtNrY left his place in Court s and com municated for some moments with the defendants. . The LORD CItIEF JUSTICE then informed Mr. Christie that the period for his defence had arrived. Mr, Christie, in a voice almost unatidible from emotion, said that he should merely call wit nesses to his general character and habits of life. Mr. Trail, to a similar intimation From the Bench, replied in the same terms used by Mr. Christie. Mr. GURNEY thee called, successively, the Rev. Thomas Griffiths, Mr. Robert Baker, sur geon ; Mr. Dubois, M Serrier, Mr. Groonie, Mr. W, Ford, Mr. Wateley, and Mr. Amos, bar risters ; Dr. Jenkins, master of Baliol College ; the Rev. W. Nicholl, Mr. Tate, the Rev, W. Knight, Mr. R. Swain, attorney-at-law; Mr. Her ring, conveyancer ; Mr. Russell, law student ; the Rev. J. Williams, Mr. W. James ) Mr, E. Blount, Mr. W. Colmar, special pleader; Mr. Connell, and Mr. John Balfour, M. 1 35 and Dr. Geldhardt. The majority of these gentlemen deposed to long and intimate acquaintance with both the defendants ; and all bore witness to the general humanity and benevolence of their dis positions. The Loan CHIEF` JUSTICE then, after stating to the Jury the nature of the indictment, pro ceeded to instruct them as to the law of the case. The accusation charged three persons as aiding and concurring in the death of Mr. Scott : two individuals only appeared ; but if the Jury believed that the individuals at the bar were really two of those who had aided in the com mission of the crime, it mattered not by whose particular hand the pistol had been discharged. The distinction, in cases of duels, between man slaughter and murder, had been very clearly and correctly marked out by the Learned Counsel for the prosecution : if parties in heat of blood went out and fought with deadly weapons, then the law, allowing for the frailty of human nature, deemed the party killing guilty of manslaughter only ; but if, yielding to a ' false notion of honour, they went out upon deliberation, and in cool blood, to fight, then the death of one man fixed the crime of murder upo❑ all concerned, upon seconds (frequently the more culpable parties) as well as upon principals. The first question then was —were the prisoners at the bar two of the parties known to have been in the field at the time when the shot was fired ? and was the duel fought in heat of blood, or upon deliberation ? His Lord ship then recapitulated the main points of evi dence, and upon that evidence, left the fact of identity to the Jury. It wal possible, he said, that the real perpetrators of the crime might have escaped from the field before the ar rival of Mr. Pettigrew, and that the priso ners at the bar might have appeared acci dehtally at the moment ; still the onus of sheaving that such had been the case lay in some measure - upon them. Upon the se , cond point s his Lordship continued, the feeling under which (assuming the identity) the duel had taken place there was little in proof before the jury. Of the time or place at which the quarrel , originated ; there was no evidence ; and although between the time at which Mr. Patinore first ap plied to Mr.Pettigrew ) and the time of the meet ing at Chalk Farm, there was tertainly space enough for reflection ; yet it was possible that, at the moment of Mr. Patmore's application to his surgeon, the meeting might not have been con templated by Mr. Trail or Mr. Christie. The declaration of Mr. Scott at the moment of his fall that all had been done fairly and honourably, was h although the law would not recognise such ideas of honour, entitled to the attention of the jury ; and there was another circumstance arising out of the words of the supposed Mr. Christie, to which their consideration should be directed. The words to which his Lordship alluded were these —" Why was I allowed to fire a second time ? I fired down the field at first; what could I do more ? I was compelled to fire in my own de fence." Now the circumstances were not such, as would, in law, acquit a man as having fired in his own defence; but the words might have art operation upon the feeling under which the se cond shot—for that was the shot which did the mischief—had been fired. The parties might have met deliberately and in cool blood, and under those circumstances the first fire might have taken place. Had death followed that fire, such death would have been murder; but it was possible that Mr. Christie, having forborne to 'take aim the first time, might have fired the se cond shot under an impulse of immediate anger produced by the failure of his pacific proceeding; and, in that case, although his adversary fell, the crime amounted only to manslaughter.— The Lord Chief Justice concluded by recom mending to the Jury, in . a case of doubt, to take the side of mercy, and by observing (upon the excellent characters which the prisoners had re ceived) that, unfortunately, men of the most ex emplary humanity and benevolent feeling were too often led to take part in transactions which led to the loss of life on one side, and to remorse and repentance during life on the other. The JURY, after a deliberation of 25 minutes, returned a verdict of—Not Guilty. When the verdict was pronounced, a death like silence prevailed throughout . the Court. Mr. Trail immediately caught Mr. Christie by the hand, and he remained for some seconds as if in a mixed mood of profound reflection and inex pressible gratitude ; his hand u plift e d to hi s mouth, and his eye bent rather towards the ground than to the Jury. After a few seconds more he turned towards the Jury, and bowed most respectfully to them. Mr. Christie and Mr. Trail immediately left the dock, and on their passage throughout the Court received the hearty congratulations of their mutual friends. During the trial their demeanor was of the mild- . est description ; -and whil e th e J ury were delibe rating Mr. Christie occasionally cast an anxious look at them. Mr. Trail preserved a calmness and a confidence throughout. We never saw the Court so respectably filled, nor so soon emptied of eager and attentive spectators. BANK Pftostcd ; tiONS.—No less than 30 indi viduals, of whom 25 were men, 4-females, and one a child under 13 years of age, pleaded guilty before the Common Sergeant to the offenc,' of having forged notes in their possession, knowio; them to have been forged, and . were sentenced to transportation beyond the seas for 14 years.
