The hopes o peke thereby created were strengthened by the fact that General Prince Wittgenstein had quittcd Odessa some days previous-to the arrival of t-he despatches 'from Constantinople, leaving the command of the army .that . quarter to a Geueral of 'inferior rank. No steps had been taken to form magazines of .military stores, nor, had any contracts been entered into for-the sup-, . ply of provisiong to the Russian army._ "As another that 'relations of • amity between the two c.funtr:es were upon the-point of being restored,. it is .mentioned in one of the letters.tat a notice had issued' from the' Post-office at Odessa, annouecing that the communications byland with - the Turkish capital were renawed, and 4hat.the - regular post would set out,. as usual, on the 4th Augu - 4.--Intelligence had :been .received. at Odessa, by the Captain of a Sardinian merchant man, Which. left Constantinople on the 1 21'st,- that a naval engagement had taken place near Tenedos ci4 the 17th Jtily, between- the Greeks and, the • Turks, in which the- latter were defeated, with the IOS3 of one ship of 74 guns and two frigates, the rent of their fleet being driven back to the Dardane)les.. This account, however,, was con . 5 ..00:0 to be of doubtful authenticity ; as it on the individual information of the Sardinian ' wlio brought no letters to confirm his statement. LMORNING POST.] The disgraceful transactions which have lately taken place in this Metropolis, and the proceed ings which have . been their result, have hitherto left us ,neither time nor room to direct the atten, tion of,' our readers to the noble and glorious - spectacle _which Ireland now presents. We have published, however, abundant details of 'scenes -which have never had any parallel" in this Country, 'and - which do honour, not to the L"; -. .sh alone,- but to human nature. Surrounded as we are with daily exhibitions of party ran cour and seditious -violence,. it is 'gratifying: to cast a look beyond the gloomy circle, and to light upon a land where all is union, enthusiasm; and Loyalty. We know 'that -we are again exposing ourselves to the charge of -,participating in .that enthwi',asni and loyalty; built is .one from which we to shrink,. We cannot see a long di vided, humbled, and abused nation, blessed at lilt with the presetiCeof her Ring, and refuting by itiefragable testimonies of zeal and affection the foul slanders of her calumniators, without a sympathetic throb of delight and exultation. Neither can we behold aMonarch coming•asaTa ther, where his-pbedecessors trod as conquerors and despots bringing • peace and joy, where - they spread desalatibn,- and throwing himself into - the ar.als of a grateful and affectionate people without feeling loyalty- become enthusiasm, and feeling it withent..shame or regret. - For many, we have no. donb tithe contrast' painftil end humiliating. Whilst they admire that generous and universal flame which makes all Ireland glow like one single heart, they lank around them and see loyalty decided, and sedition' freezitig or perverting all the native nobleness of English feeling. But though humbled and ashamed, they are not un just. They do not join the . scorner in the odiods b,..sk of ;hre wing ridicule on- virtues and excellen cies, of which they deplore the absence or the perversion in their own country. They compre hend and applaud their existence elsewhere, and only linient that they should ntit flonrish with equal vigour-on every 'pa rticle Of British soiL , [nniaiin PRESS.] . . Wily the Treasury Papers should assail Mr, Sheriff Waithroan for the active part he has taken in these proceedings, is 'very easily understood ;, Lot it_ is e:ot equally clear' how they can recon cile the ungentlemanly fierceness of their attack with a sense of the serious nature of the inquiry, and the importance which ought to be attached in such a case to the - discovery of truth.

The.case lies'in a. nutshell ; and the facts are notorious to the whole world. . A premeditated and precottrertedob struction was raised against the.pnogrvw of the Royal FuneraZ. The Civil Power. was resisted, and the Police_ Officers cruelly beaten and ill-;• treated. The Military 'Power .was then neceS sarily called in. That also met with a darin,c, , , illegal, and savage resistance. The soldierS, aftp. long, heroic i -and patient .'forliearance, turned. on their *brutal aisailantS ,and; in Self-de- . fence,- shot two persobs ontof a crowd of perhaps ten thousaricL . -In the conflict, thirty`-seven of the soldiers, and seven of their horses, were wounded. Two had their shoulders broken, one . had his leg= broken, "and another - was so severely wounded in , the head with a brick-bat as to leave him fo r 4. week aft , rWards in imminent danger of a locked jaw. The most infamous arts have been era ,- - .ployed, we trAistin:vain; to induce the Coroner's Jury to pronounce this a case of .Wilful Murder on the part- of the soldiery. And what is the ultimate object of obtaining such d-verdict ? To stir up new riots, 17itft increasing numbers and audacity—Ao goon, from outrage to outrage, till the memorable project .of Ings and Thistle wood can be carried into effect; and a rebel, lious mob can march with cannon through the streets. of the Metropolis, plundering the shops, and ,nautdering :all whom their malevolence or caprice devotes to the dagger. Already another Fun.eral .Procession has been- determined . On: It was proposed by Watson, the fanatic, and en couraged by Galloway, the ex-Secretary of the treasonable London Corresponding Society ! We can assert it to be a fact, that the agitators of this'ne-w disturbance bad made it a part of their plan that the. Carpenters, who were to walk in the- procession, should carry their axes! The god& sense of the mechanics, however, 'revolted at a proposal evidently calculated to lead to bloodshed : and the suggestion was there fore withdrawn ; but still means must be taken to guard the peace, of. the Metropolis -agaivat so alarming an assemblage.---Thera can be •no confidence •of . safety, if traitors `can w with impunity fOrm a plot to enable a_Mob to " levy war within .the realm "'against the King's forces.

These atrocious violations•of law must lie punished, or Government will evince a weakness no less fatal than contemptible. • [MORNING CIIRONICLq Mr. Hanson has hitherto been very . unfortunate •in his witness e s, for . most of them have.taken from the soldiers the only justifiable groUra. for firing on the pe*Ople.- - our Report yesterday's Proceedings at. the Adjourned Inquest on George Princis,:JOhn Lloyd will be found fo have expressly stated,.:" about ten nutes elapsed between the throwing of the. stones and the firing.; between five and ten infnutes;but . I cannot speak precisely to the time."' Mr. Henry Charles. Elsgood, surgeon, of Park-street, Gros venor-square, stated, the mob seemed very. quiet for two or three minutes, which le.d me to oliserve to a person near me that they were:reading the Riot Act, but in a minute or . twol heard firing ; the first shot I heard was below the Tyburn-gate, and appeared to be directed towards the Park, as the people there were rtinnin? away . I can't sayisaw any cause for the firing; I think it might have. been done without;_ there was a cessation before the firing for two or three minutes; the soldiers had gained their point; and I saw nothing to justify the firing. . The.shots.l saw fired could not be directed against - any per sons who offered" obstruction 'in the Edgeware road." A number of witnesses have distinctly stated, that no stones were thrown till the sol diers had struck several people with their swords". SOme of Mr. Hanson's witnesses haVe also. sworn that they saw individuals-struck before the throw- ing commenced. 13ut supposing even it were other wise, if an interval, such as that above described, took place between the throwing or stones (4141 the firing, the firing could not possibly' be. in 'Self-de fence. The soldier who presumes .fire, except in self-defehce, is guilty 'of murder, .in the eye of the law, if he happen to kill any one. 7 The reading of the Riot Act, and the requisition of the 'Magistrate, can alone authorise him to 'fire, except on such an occasion as would justify any other individual in firing. • B.ut.no Riot Act. was read' at Ciimberland 7 .gate, and the •officers and soldiers who fired orf . the . people' are bound to prove 'that they were .compelled to do so in self-defence, to.free themselveS•from the charge of murder. Some of 'the Ministerial Journals are quite enraged at .the idea -of so fe* orthe people having been killed, and. they take every opportunity of venting' their spleen against Sir Robert Baker, because he" was. not sknguinary . enough to wade to the accomplishment of the object of Ministers through the blood of his .fel fow4-citizerts; In noticing, an intention said to be eatertained by some;''persons,". of .Having pub-lic funerals for the bodies.of Honey and .

PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. [From " The Leeds Intelligencer," Aug. 20.] (Continued from yesterday's Sues) • We now come to the atrocious proceedings of Tuesday last. And here we would observe, that let the dame pursued by Ministers hav'e been ever so impolitic, (which we do not admit,) yet that it was strictly legal ; and that the oppo sition made to it constitutes a high inisdetneanoiu.; and involVes• the utniosi contempt for his Majesty's ge:vern rnent. We, however, contend,, that the measures pursued were nbi only eustifred by the law . ; which places the ordering of the 'Queen's funeral in . the hands of the. liing,eleut that they were such as a deference to eif. the late Queen, as far. - as those wisheS seeri"inOwhe folly Warranted. Every diposi don was made to shew respect to the royal remains ; every 'desire was evinced to in the grave all feelings of animo sity and of party zeal. In her :will, the Queen desired her body to be removed in threedays ; and in herprevious conver sations, we 'can collect, that she was desirous her funeral should be conducted as privately as possible. Against lying in state she particularly Objected.: She wished not to be made a shew of after' death; : there had, she emphatically observed, " been enough of that in her life time." The time that elapsed between the royal demise, and the removal of the corpse from Brandenhurgh,house a was : amply sufficient for every prepa ration ; indeed, we haVe as 'Yet heard no . complaints of any thing being wanted : and all the inconvenience which await ed the mourners on the evening of the first- day, their fa tigue, &c. was owing to the disgraceful conduct of the mob, and their abettors': As to , the route which had been marked out by - government, if the pretended friends of the un fortunate Queen, (unfortunate in being made the tool of such a desperate faction,) had really wished for nothing else but to shew their respect for her memory, it afforded ample scope for that purpose. A procession on the largest scale might have followed the funeral cavalcade ; and eveey" public testimonial of respect" might have been paid. There was no wish to pre vent . this, there was no wish to ".outrage deeency,"-•--or to " endanger the peace",—on the part of gneernment—all this, however,, his been done by the Queen's friends. They have been the cause of the blood that. was spilled—they haveheen the sole authors Orthose deeply to be lamented and atrocious proceedings, which, disgraced the funeral other Majesty—and violated the solemn order that ought to have : been preserved on that occasion: • " No insult to the Queen's remains was either offered or in tendedly Ministers ; but deeply have they been insulted by the,conduct of the faction which degraded her before her death ; and whith,' by at length making her sensible of that degrade . - tion, Initiledher to the'grave ! The spirit that would not bend to-the . wishis- of the King—that braved the proceedings of his Ministers-that refused to accept the mediation of, the House of Commoris, was' broke by the painful conviction that public opinion,' upon which she had leaned, was a broken reed ;' and had only hurried her to her destruction. Not content with this, the selfish partizans of this abused and deceived lady— fixed on the day of her funeral—on that day when the enmity of her most bitter opponents would have been hushed ; on that day when a decent respect would have been shewn to her memory, by those who were compelled by public duty, and public principle, to be her adveiiiiies when alive-:--that (hy was fixed-on - to consummate their guilt, by a violent and determined opposition to the constituted authorities of the country; and by substituting scenes -of riot and outrage, for that respectful so lemnity which would have been preseired, if . the measures of Government had not been interfered with by:it set of unautho rized and desTaning individuals. • " The result of this conduct has been the shedding of blood And on their 'heads who promoted arid directed the outrages of the mob, will this blood rest. .As was the case at Manchester, an attempt (lease enough jai's, and desperate we hope it will be) is making to direct the indignation of the peo ple from the instigators of the 'outrages, 6 the noble and distin guished -men who acted in pursuance of the commands of their Sovereign, and in furtherance of the wish to exezute the will . of the late Queen; and to the soldiers, whO ; when in performance of their duty, were pelted and insulted by a set of vile raffienS, and who took no measures of' retaliation till these insults and outtages .had`• reached : a height, beyond human forhearance.-a The same factious press; which so industriously circulated ea luniny and falsehood at the former period, is again at work," the same nefarious practices- are resorted to, and we hope it will be, with the same result. " Deeply dc we lenient thi fate of the unhappy men wild lost their lives on this melancholy occasion ; we pity the misguided populace, who were made the active agents in theae atrocious outrages ; but, we can scarcely command our feelings, when, we contemplate the consummate hardiho4 and the deep 'designing villainy of the men, who instigated the populace to canduCt so disgraceful ;• or the cool,calailating malignity -of those who czn defend it. If Ministers do not strain every nerve to bring these men to justice, itthey do not use every endeavour tnintliet on them an exemplary punishment, ,they will be lost to what is dtie to therpselv:.l; and_ to what is due to the county. The tine is come when they rgustte.firrn.

This was an. information filed by the ATTO'RNEY-6ENE RAL4ainst two Custom-honse Officers named flaisell and Gurr, for a conspiracy to aid, assist, and ;bet certain smugglers' in the landing of unaccustomed gaods at :Guildfbrd, near 14e, in this County, on the 4th of September, 1819. . . The witnesses for the prosecution were all nottorioits'srimg glers,.with the exception of one, a Custom-house officer, and tliesubstance of their statement was 'this :-4n the evening of. the 4th of September list, a large qiiantityof smuggled spirits and foreign silks were landed at 'a place called Jew's Gut, near Rye. Whilst the smugglers were landing the cargo .thetwo defendants and anothecofficer; named Chapman, came up, and it was sworn that the defendant QUIT, in the - presence of. others, said to one of the smugglers, - named Hersfield; " We must have some of the tubs." The-smugglers said, that if they did not - make any-alarm they should have. soppe. °tar. then said, " We must have 39 of them."' The smugglers ,answered that they could not let them have so many, as it was but-a small crop. The defendants- then agreed to .take 22 . or 25 tubS, the witness could not say which, as their share, and prinised, not to give any alarm. The good s w e re accordingly ..landed,, and the defenclants.received as their share 22 tuba, which- they car, tied off, and took them to the Custom-house, but suffered the smugglers to take away the remainder of the cargo. Under these circumstances the prosecution was instituted against.; the de fendants. In opening the case, the Counsel for the prosecution gave.the defendants:the benefit cf having been active, merito polls 'officers previous to this transaction. - On the cross-examination of the witnesses - for. the Crown, great pains were taken to shake their testimony. It appeare4 that the information which led to this. rosecution had not been gives bythem until a. year and a 'half after • the alleged trans action.. One of them admitted that he had been ruined by the defendants and other. Custom-house 'officers in his--trade of a smuggler. The witnesses, however, four in number, acknow ledged themselves to be notorious smugglers, and hid support, ed themsel; , es ail their lives. by -such illicit means. They were examined separately, and all gave an unvaried aceoptit of the transaction, and were consistent in their story. 'Their testimony was corroborated by that of - Mr. Chapman, the officer above mentioned: • • Mr. Serjeant TAPDY remarked upon the novelty of. this.sin , gular coalition of the Board of Revenue, with notorious smug glers, against their own officers. The• defence he had to.set up was, that the evidence of the smugglers was founded in vindic tive motives towards the defendants; in consequence, - al one of them admitted, of the activity which they , had shewn in - the suppression of smuggling.. Be particularly .dwelt upon the stelenecs of that infoimatren neon whirl} tins prosecution was founded —a year and a half having t-lapSed before the slightest hint was given of any thing of kind having taken place. It was manifest from this that some malicious feelings had influ enced the witnesses; .and the Jury therefore ought to watch their testimony with' the greatest jealousy. The Mayor of Rye, the. Town Cierk„ Mr. Watson, - a collec tor of customs, and several other respectable persons, gave the defendants a most unexceptionable character for being very active and zealous officers. The case went to the Jury, under the Learned Judges direc tions' and after retiring for three quarters of an hour, found the defendants—Ou ILT Y. • • LEWES; .AtTo. 22. THE ICING V%—BAIIIIOW•AND ANOTHXR. This was an •information against- the Defendants, charging them with offering. a bribe to John Burn, an Admiralty Midshipman, employed in the Pre'ventive Service, to induce him to permit the Defendants and;others to land a cargo of Smugglett spirits. The ease was opened by Mr. Sojeant ONsLow, from whose statement it appeared; that the 'Defendants, &arrow; and Hen bery, hiving obtained an introduction to Mr.' Burn, darkly hinted to him, that, by means which they could point out, he might get a little money for himself. They lamented that he was employed on so fatiguing service, and hinted- at his al lowing them to land a cargo of. etnALtraband, goodi on his sta don; by which he might get 401:' 501..;• and ultimately they agreed to give hiM 1001. The time arrived when this landing was to take place, and a part of the clew of the Severn frigate were concealed around the intended landing place, and the above named DefeudantS were apprehended in the fact. _ Mr. Burn - was called; and proved tae above circumstances;- that he had communicated the'reallt of the different interviews he had with the.

Jpho Aoderson-- , ,1 keep a public-house. nearly 'adjoining- the north side of Sunderland-bridge. I was in my gi4rclen on the 16t14 and saw the mail-coach coming about 20 yards ftom roe. It was coming very quick; in a gallop. I saw a person. on horseback oppOsite to the leaders ne.irly. .The prisoner was using his whip more than common, and shaking the • reins, shoving the horses forward. Il e was t yards from th e bridge whenl first saw him. 'When they took the turn they were in gallop; the whole of them. I have frequently.seen the mail peastherebefore; I cannot say I evef , saw it at - thei. pace. It ' appeared. to mean unusual pace: JuSt b e fo re h e.en t ere d the I bridge at the turn, he applied 'the whip ' • I heard it crack. I feared feir hini running down the groom. . When the coach took • the turn I saw it go over. I ran as hard as 1 could, anda salt tiv4..geritlemen lying on the frame- work. Thothas Donaldson appeared dead. Samuel Initaker lay on his side,• and asked me to help him up. He asked if the man beside him was dead- I sad was. He said he was dying too: : he had a seve.ff children at "Bingley, in Yorkshire. He died in about sib hours. • . By. Mr. ti - nr..rams—l did not apprehend the coach was :going over-till I saw it over. Thomas Salkill—l am a surgeon. I saw Whitaker lying on a bed in the last witness's house. He had fallen 22 feet• His lbwer jaw was broken. He died from the fall. - ••}l4 . s. INAse Was scarce perceptible. He said his name was Samuel Whit aker, and desired me to write to his wife. • Henry Kipling, the guard, was cabled by the C.titsel•for the prosecution, and examined by Mr. Wri.r..m.ms 'for the prisenier. I have known the prisoner three years. lain not the regular guard of the mail. He is a very good coachman.: I never beard any complaint. I had a main bar on that day. One of the re gular bars had broken, and the spare bar was used. It is very dangerous to.turn, it will give no way. Ifthe horses get a little' out, they won't turn as with another bar. By Mr. JoNES—I cannot tell whether the prisoner knew of the temporary bar, it had been used before we name to Durham, and when he was not the driver. • The prisoner said that if the groom hod not been there, the affinr would never have happened ; it was to avoid him' that be had gone so far to the other sid e . John Paulson, proprietor of the Telegraph, had known the prisoner 9, years; and always 'considcied him a 'very Steady driver- He could say that he had never seen Inm in liquor. Thomas Holt, innkeeper at Rusheyford, employed the nri.• soner four years to drive the Wellington first, and then - the mail. - He never heard a complaint before, never Saw him in liquor, and never heard him swear an oath. • The Jury found - the prisoner tautsTY., but recommended him to mercy. The other indictment for the manslaughter of,Thes. Dona son'was not tried.
