Atter the Jury were inmannelled, they proceeded to.yiew the re-

act was perjuttested, and presented d meet pitiable evert:este. When
„they were about retiring to the inquit rooln4 one td then' body ob.

ilt-
treatment the deeeatted had experienced from her husband, he
thought it absolutely necessary that there sboold be a close invest.:
gation of the body, to ascettein if there existed any, aced what,
marks of violence.
This was opposed by some, on the gronnd that it was uncalled

was a mark, as If from a violent kick. On the hotly several con-

appeared a slight laceration. This. however, seemed to hare been
occasioned by the tightness with which the handkerchief had:befit

The delay, coupled with reports in circulation, 'erred to strike
the Jury as most culpable, and the witness endeavortred to explain
it by the following account, in reply to their question :

At this stage of the proceedings some of the Jury expressed a
wish to examine the servents,in order to find out if ill-treatment bad

LONDON, TUESDAY, Sri'l EMCLR 96, 1&26.

We have received the French Morning and Evening
Papers of Saturday. By an article in the Journal des
'Malta, it appears that the conferences at Akermann, be-
t wren the Russian and Turkish Ministers, have been con-
ducted in so unsatisfactory a manner to the former, that

they have formally delivered a note, stating all the matters
',Attired by Russia from the Porte, to which they have re-
quested a definitive answer to be obtained by the Turkish
Cornnissioners from the Divan aikido a specific period,
namely, the 7th of October. In ease the answer should
not be satisfactory, it is said that the Russian Commie-
samers will suspend the conference, until they receive
further orders from their Sovereign. The Turkish Com-
missioners have sent this note by a courier to Constan-
tineple. It is supposed that if Rusaia should not receive a
satisfactory answer by the time limited, the Russian army
will then pass the Pruth, and take military occupation of
Moldavia and irallachia. The correspondent of the
Julien°, des Debut', in addition to this intelligence, states
that the enumeration of the grievances complained
of by the Russians, relative to the oppressions exercised
against the Wallachians, Moldavians, Servians, and those
Creeks who have received letters of protection from Russia,
does not comprehend any thing speriall. concerning the
actual insurrection of the GrteLs; but that mention is
made of the outrages committed upon the Creek Church,
of which his Imperial MAJEsev is the protector. in fact,
k nothing more than a repetition of all the notes which
bad been previously presented by N. de STROGONOCE
duties his embassy. Whoever considers the nature of
tilers mks may judge whether, from so furious a character
as that of Sultan Matt morn, a pacific answer may be ex-
pected. The Jour/rah/es Dtliati, however, is assured that,
even it it should come to an actual military occupation of
Walachia and Moldavia by the Russians, still that Power
will declare their only end to be to protect those Christian
countries from the vexations of the Turks, and to maintain
the constitutions and national authorities which they have
a tight to enjoy. As Russia will not find any Turkish
troops in those provinces, sine will nut be brought into
hostile rented with the Turks, nor will she consider herself
to be at war with the Ottoman Empire; on the contrary,
she ofrer to resume the conferences in some city upon the
Danube. But it is probable, says the French Editor, that,
considering the expense of occupying those countries,
Russia will add to her former demands that of the entire
independence of Wallachia and Moldavia, under a na-
tional Prince; and thus the secret views. of Austria upon
st enaeilis will be frustrated. In this ease, should the
Turks attempt to present, on the 7th of October, an am-
biguous or unsatisfactory answer, it is certain that Russia
will not remain inactive, but will immediately put the
army of occupation on the march, which will consist of a
term of 15,000 men. The season will be too far advanced
pettnit Russia's keeping such a considerable body
of men in the province of Ihssarabia, particularly as
that army is already exhausted ; independently of the
political reasons why it should take up its winter quarters
at Bucharest before the middle of November. It is also
stated that an army of 100,000 men, con centrattd in the
environs, will take different routes towards the southern
loovinees of Kiovia, Podolia, and the Ukraine.

BARCELONA, SEPT. 12.
A ftightfel crime has just thrown the whole of this city into the
utmost consternation. The Prior of the Convent of La Mercy, e
merablt rid kind old man, was assassinated iu hit cell at 11
'eleck this rooming. It is said that the perpetrator or this deed is
yoang m who confessed yesterday before his ; that he

chocolat:. The etime was not committed for the rake of pl .ndet,
masenuch as nothing has been take* sway. This assasAnation of
the chief of • convent appears therefore to have been front political
motives. It is intletd rcportcd that the Prior had been very
qtengly in favour of the ticegy ',mitring support to the State,
a:11 that he was about to Le nominated °metal or his order

The Cworent of lAA Mercy is perhaps the richest of any in Ca.
