It gives us great pleasure to find, in the German Papers
that reached us on Saturday, a confirmation of the report
we noticed last week, respecting the intended interference

of the Great Powers for the pacification of the Eastern pro-
vinces of Europe. The continuance of the war between
the Greeks and Turks would now only be an unnecessary
aggravation of the calamities it has produced. All doubt
of the establishment of the independence of Greece must
be at an end. At least it is quite certain that the GRAND
SULTAN, without foreign aid, cannot again subjugate the
Greeks. One consequence alone can result from the
prolongation of hostilities, viz. that the belligerents will
exhaust each other, and perhaps effect their mutual
destruction. But the interests of England and France
require that the empire of Constantinople should remain
a powerful state, and in that shape an insurmountable
barrier to the designs long meditated by Austria and
Russia, but particularly by the latter, on the East.
Ataxixnza, however, at present, has his attention en-
grossed by objects of paramount importance, and the con-
dition of his finances would not enable him, in defiance of
his allies, to pursue the vast schemes of ambition on which
the Court of St Petersburgh hive been intent for the last
half century with respect to Turkey. It appears, that
conscious of his true situation, and sincerely desirous of
preserving unbroken the peace of the world, and by timely
precaution removing the probable motives of future dis-
agreements, his Imrzatit \larss•rs has directed the at-
tention of the other Courts to the Greek question. We
hope that the proposed plan may be accordant with the pug
expectations and political welfare of the Greeks themselves,

and calculated to consolidate and ensure the permanent
tranquillity of Europe. The following is the extract to
which we allude :

NUREMBERG, OCT. 21.

It is affirmed that Count Pozzo nt Boaoo has presented •
very Important memoir to the French Government, the object of
which is, to unite (on the principles recommended in the monoir)
with the other great powers, in the restoration of peace in the
East. Nothing has transpired of the plan proposed in this paper,
but it seems that copies of it have been presented also to the Courts
of Berlin, London, and Vienna.

In another part of our Paper will be found, the observa-
tionsof J. G. Cut w, Esq., F.R.S. on the misstatements
in the Morning Chronicle and Times newspapers, respect-
ing Sin Hummer Davy's method of protecting the copper
sheathing of ships' bottoms, as well as to the President's
having made a late voyage to the Baltic at the public ex-
pense. Mr. Children is right in abstaining from all com-
ment. In the way of refutation, to add another word
would have been superfluous. A man of science, who, like
Sir H. Davy, has given to the public the invaluable
fruits of his labour, without seek!ng in any instance to
profit by his inventions, or to secure them by patent, is a
public benefactor. With all manly and enlightened minds,
the fame of such men is sacred But when the Times
wants a subject for abuse, these matters are beneath its
" high consideration ;" it is enottgli that the individual at-
tacked is of sufficient importance to excite attention, and the
purveyors of its malignity arc at liberty to fasten upon any
one that falls in their way.

" In Holland thus, PRTZR the GREAT
IVanting to see a lire dissection,
Bid them take any qf his suite,
To be car ap fur his inspection."
But the empire of Conscience has gained strength since the
days of Peter the Great : indeed, there is, at this moment,
a risible penitence, and sensible reparation going on in the
world: hIuNT has retreated upon the profits of blacking
and breakfast-powder--CosszTT upon straw-plat and
Swedish turnips. We trust the good exomple will spread,
and:that the Tins' journal will seek its profits in future
from the resources of honest true:, and genuine mattee-Lf-
facl.

We have given a very full report of the trial of Mr.
FAUSTLSROS. IS is not a subject which seems to us to
call for any remark from us. The judgment of the law
will be passed upon him, as usual, at the close of the Ses-
sions. We feel nowise disposed to trespass upon the awful
solomnity of h:s situation by any comments upon his con-
duct. The document read by the ATTOSNET-GLKEIAL,
containing, in the prisoner's own hand-writing, a list of
his forgeries, and a confession of his motive for committing
them, has excited the greatest attrrise. In his defence,
he denied the irrei.mlarities of life imputed to him, and
asserted that the whole proceeds of his forgeries were applied
to uphold the credit of the banking-house. We know not
how to give credence to these assertions. lie must surely
have been aware that the train he was laying would some
day or other take fire, and involve himself and all who
relied upon hire in utter and irretrievable ruin.

PARTS, OCT. 27.
One of those changes which so peculiarly mark the
French character is now taking place here. When
Charles X. removed the Censorship, he was praised to the
skies, and it was generally considered certain that the
Government would th..nceforth be conducted upon true
constitutional principles. A month, however, has since
passed over our heads, and the same Ministers are still in
office ; nor has any other act of the least importance fol-
lowed the suppression of the Censorship. People ask each
other with surprise whether things are to remain as they
are? and the common observation is," surely the King
cannot suppose that our situation requires no other remedy
than the emancipation of the Journals." This feeling is
natural enough on the part of the public, especially if we
bear in mind how ignorant the generality of Frenchmen
are of the real state of France, and of the immense difficul-
ties which stand in the way of the establishment of a bet-
ter system—difficulties which I have already stated to you
in detail in a former letter. If everybody would take the
trouble to reflect upon our actual condition, and look at it
in the point of view in which I placed it in that letter,
there would be much less expectation of any speedy or
important change in the administration of public affairs.
Already, among the occurrences from which such happy
nitwits have been augured, it has been observed that there
have been some of a quite opposite character. lam not
aiding to the unfortunate affair of the actor Philippe,
which perhaps cannot in strictness be charged upon the
King personaliy ; but it is worthy of mention, that at the
aud:ence his Majesty gave at The beginning of this month,
when he welcomed several Members of the Opposition
with so much kindness and condescension, the King al-
tered the Presence Chamber between his Grand Alinoow 1,
and the Bishop of llermopolis. The Parisian public hats
not failed to draw unfavourable inferences from this same
ciation. They say, " How much better would his Ms)1017
have appeared accompanied by his aides-de-camp, or sow,
of the Marshals, or the officers of his household, rather
than by two priests." But the public opinion has been prim-
cipally scandalised by the continuance of the Ministry is
office, particularly the three Ministers, Villele, Corbiets,
and Peyronnet, who are throughout France objects et'
hatred and contempt. The courtiers in the interest of XI
de Villele circulate a report that Charles X. bas expreorld
his resolution to keep all his Ministers until the opening of 11
the Chambers, when Corbiere and Peyronnet will perhaps
be dismissed, but as to M. de Villele, lie will certainly re-
main, whatever minor changes take place. The decline of
hope is indicated in the languidness with which the war of
the journalists with the Ministry is now carried on. The
popularity of the King is fast passing away, though it may
be some time before he will know the disagreeable fact.
Our feelings are too easily excited in France by our wishes,
and when we find that we are deceived, or have deceived
ourselves, a corresponding reaction follows, which not un-
frequently prevents us from attaining the little good that is
within our reach. I only can say now, as to the politics of
the day, what I said before : our situation is such, that we
ought not absolutely to renounce all our hopes, but there
are too many chances that our hopes will not be realised.
It is reported, that, despairing to draw any confession or
explanation from Papavoine,the magistrate (.huge lotanic-
Hon) has had recourse to the following stratagem :—When
he was interrogating the accused in his chamber, an agent
of the police entered suddenly, stating that the knife with
which the assassination was committed, had just been found
in the wood of Vincennes. Papavoine changed colour, and
seemed much alarmed. This trick, it must be confessed,
does not agree very well with the dignity of justice, or the
course which ought always to be followed towards accused
persons.

It is reported that the King leaves iVindsor for Brighton

to-morrow.
The Duke and Duchess of Clarence left their residence
at Bushy on Saturday, and proceeded to the apartments of
the Duchess of Kent, at Kensington, where the Royal
Duchess alighted. The Duke of Clarence proceeded to
his residence in town. The Duke and Duchess of Clarence
returned to Bushy to dinner in the afternoon.

Dar sr -La x E.—The Dramatist wasplayed at this theatre
on Saturday. Mr. Elision's Vipid was a spirited per-
formance, but there was nothing in the representation of
the other characters, (which indeed are generally very
feebly drawn) to deserve particular notice. The. Enchanted
Cmirser followed ; but in spite of the scenery, which is
very good, it cannot have a run. think it a proof of
the good sense of the public, that they have grown tired of
these spectacles, and look for something more intellectual
from the management of the Winter theatres. On Saturday
night, much disapprobation, and more indifference, was
displayed by the audience during the progress of the
" winged horse" across the stage up to the moon ; and it
was as much as Monsieur Ducrow's troop could do to keep
the company in passable humour. The scenery was sot
well managed ; in the last act, part of a scene fell on the
stage, to the manifest inconvenience of the warriors, horse
and foot, who figured at the storming of the fortress of
Curdistan.
The Dublin Freeman's Jogrnal says, that Mr. H. Grat-
tan intends to offer himself a second time for the City of
Dublin.
We observe by the Edinburgh Papers that we may hourly
expect the long-promised and favourably-anticipated new
work, Rothrlan, a Romances!! the English Histories by
the well-known author of Annals nf the Parish, The Spac-

shorter tales, the scenes of which are chiefly laid in foreign
countries. _ _ _

to what the Newspapers may say of him, you may depend

ELorawaaT.—On Saturday last, on the arrival of the
Rockingham coach at the Rein Deer Inn, Doncaster, a
young girl from Darlington (imprudently on a trip to town
with a London lover) was fortunately overtaken by her
brother, who had pursued the fugitives on horseback.
The lady was instantly handed down, and the disappointed ,
admirer, who is well known to the brother, quietly relin-
quished all claims to his prize, and proceeded on his jour-
ney. After a short remonstrance the ring was doffed, and
the runaway consented to return to her almost distracted
friends.—Leeds Mercury.
The Snuffer Stated alone of the Grand Seraglio at Con-
stantinople, is worth 16,000 purses. This snuffer stand
elates from the reign of alahmoud the Ist. It has already
caused the impalement cf more than a dozen individuals,
black eunuchs as well as white, who had made attempts to
steal it. A remarkable fact in its history is, that every
time it has been found, it was almost always on the sea-
shore, in a woman's slipper. The eunuchs being nearly
naked, had no other means of carrying off' this so-much-
coveted prize.—Neter Literature.

Extract of a letter from Carthagena, dated August 15 :
" The volition state of the country improves every day
and a supply of one million of dollars, landed a few days
