LONDON, THURSDAY, MARC)! 10, MTS.

Ey the Paris Papers of Monday it appears that the
project of a comprehensive decree cf amnesty, laid by the
Spanish Minister CALOM AIDE before the Council of Cas-
tile, has been rejected by that body as ill-timed and im-
practicable. Some great political change, ho3vever, is ex-
pected is that country, though from all appearances we.
can scarcely anticipate that it will be for the better. Con-
spiracies and insurrections are the order of the day.
Amongst others, it is said the boys have formed themselves
into a secret association, in support of Constitutional prin-
ciples. The health of FERDIN•ND mends but slowly, and
hit Ministers are a"raid to disturb him with public
lest they should irritate him again into indisposition.
Every thing is stagnated, even the persecution of the
negroes. The French division which occupies Corunna
wait, evacuate that place on the Ist of April.
According to the Efate fresh troubles have broken out in
the Turkish dominions. The new wens of contention is
Syria, where it is stated the Sheik Bechir has revolted
against the Etnir of the Drures.
It is positively denied that Spain has contracted for a
Loan, on the conditicm of reCognising the bonds of the
Cortes. Certainly, on ro other condition would any ra-
tional man consent to enter into a contract with the ab-
solute Government of FERDINAND. It will, however,
require something more than the authority of the journal
that lately announced the defeat and capture of BOLIVAR,
to induce us to believe that " the Spanish Government
rejected the proposal."

SMYRYA, FED. 1.
We think it our ditty to inform those Europeans who are in-
clined to enter the service of Mehemet Ali, Pacha of Egypt, that
they are misled, and that they:are not aware of the danger to which
they expose themselves in running headlong into the trap set for'
their cupidity. On the 10th of lest month Ibuhim, son of Alehe.
met Ali, hung at Boudron ten foreign officers, whom lie accused of
being the cause of the reverses he had lately experienced, whilst
he might with more propriety
.have laid it to his own door. This
fanatic (Thief is in the habit, just before a battle, to send all the
Franks embarked in his vessels into the hold. Ile has been heard
publicly to say that misfortune was sure to arise from any associa-
tion with Christians; and that if he succeeded his father in the
government of Egypt. lie would immediately order the slaughter
of all the Franks in his service. Let this declaration warn both '
those who are at present in 31chemet Ali's service, and those who
may be inclined to enter.
A stranger from Napoli saw the disembarkation of about 3.000
Egyptian prisoners. Their lankness, and the weakness of their
frame', raised the pity of the Greeks, who uked one another how
Mehemet Ali could think of sending such roldiers against them.
Their condition in Egypt. was so miserable that the greater part of
these unfortunate men rejoiced in their captivity.
We have bean informed of the recal of the Commandant of the
French naval station.

We have inserted in this day's Paper the first part of the
important official document respecting the state and pro-
spects of Greece, to which we alluded yesterday. It has
been compiled, by order of the Greek Government, from
the best sources of information, and may be confidently
relied upon. The course of events, we expect, will soon
render all that relates to the brave people, who so nobly
maintain the ancient renown of their illustrious country,
additionally interesting to Europe. We shall take the
earliest opportunity to give the remainder of this valuable
report.

The intelligence received yesterday from India announc-
ing the mutiny of come native troops near Calcutta, pro-
duced a deep and extensive sensation, which was consi-
derably increased by an imperfect and exaggerated account
posted at one of the coffee-houses. According to the offi-
cial statement, which will be found in another column, it
appears that in consequence of the refusal of the 47th na-
tive regiment then stationed at Barrackpore to proceed to
Chittagong, the Kt:4(l's troops were compelled to reduce
them to obedience by military execution. Some artil-
lery from Dumdum took up a position in the rear
of the mutineers, and after two signal guns had been
fired, opened upon them with destructive effscr. They
instantly fled. Many drowned themselves in the ri-
ver; about fifty others, we learn by private letters,
were killed, and nearly the same number put to (hiker by
sentence of Courts Martial. Two other regiments of native
infantry, the 26th and 621, also under marching orders,
were present, and behaved with the most perfect fidelity
and steadiness. No great alarm seems to have been felt at
Calcutta, from which city Barrackpore is only fourteen

_,.,,~~,

..r._

miles distant. The Government paper fell only one per
cent. on the arrival of the news. The sepoys appear to
have disliked the service on which they were going, but
the dreadful though neceiaary punishment inflicted upon
the mutineers wit', we have no doubt, prevent the recur-
rence of a crime striking immediately at the foundation of
our Oriental empire. That the feeling of disaffection or
apprehension, or whatever it might be, was not general, ws
know by the part taken in the suppression of the mutiny by
the other two regiments of aepoya, who were under the
same orders. Tranquillity was restored and all disquietude
entirely removed.
Intelligence had been received at Calcutta on the Ist
of November, that the Burmese forces in Cachar had
evacuated the posts of Tilayn and Doodpatlie, and re-
treated to Muonapore.

The royal assent was yesterday given, by commission,
to the Bill for suppressing unlawful Societies in Ireland.
If the propriety of putting down these bodies generally.
and the Catholic Auocistion in particular, had ever beet
seriously doubted by any person who has attentively con-
sidered the state of that country, what has lately passed
there must settle the question. We have before adverted
to the false and partial manner in which the proceedings of
the Catholic Association was reported by the Dublin
Papers. The natural tendency and character of that
mischievous club have been more fully displayed, since the
absence of irs leaders has deprived it of the caution by
which it had previously contrived to keep itself just he-
rood the reach of the law. The extraordinary meeting
which was held on Friday evening has hardly been noticed;
though it well deserved attention. The business was
I opened a► eight o'clock in the evening, and the spirit
manifested at this nightly and almost secret assemblage,
was such as mast have satisfied the most sceptical of the
propriety of preventing many repetitions of it. The
principal object was, apparently, by every effort to collect
the largest possible amount of " Rent," previous to the
abolition of the Association. Part of a letter was read
from Air. O'Corts ext., atmouncing the probable suc-
cess of the Catholic claims ; the remainder was sup-
pressed, on the ground that it was " private." It was
understood that amongst other things be directed all his
briefs to be returned, as he intended to remain in London
to insure the obtainment of Emancipation. His style was
unusually violent, and like some other advocates, who love
their cause more for the sake of argument than its intrinsic
merits, he appears to be the more dissatisfied the more be
is in danger of success.

Mr. Secretary Nit List night, obtained leave to bring
in lint Bill, for consolidating and amending the Laws re-
lating to the Impanelling of Juliet ; of this important mea-
sure we published an abstract at the close of last St ssion,
and expressed our opinion warmly in Its favour. The
praises we then bestowed upon It *ere last night echoed
froth the Opposition Benches ; and certainly never did any
Minister of the Crown better deserve the approbation of
his country than Mr. NEL does on this occasion. The
Ineid and able speech of the Right Honourable Gentleman
will be read with the greatest pleasure, we do not hesitate
to say, by every man in the community. It perfectly ex-
plains the nature and extent of the amendments with re-
spect to Special Juries, the only part of the present system
which it is proposed to alter. After this enactment, it will
be impossible for the utmost ingenuity of malice to pretend
that the law does not award a fair and impartial trial to all
who stand before the Courts for their deliverance. No one
who knows any thing of the Master of the Crown Office
could suppose him capable of sanctioning any abuse in his
department. But it was unquestionably desirable that the
administration of justice in all its ramifications should be,
like CASAIt'II wife, not only quite pure, but absolutely
above suspicion. Mr. Prr Cs bill will render it so. The
Member for Westminster said truly that " this was the
greatest and moat salutary reform which the country had
for ages witnessed. There was not such another to be
found on our Statute Book. The generation who would
succeed us would look up to this as a new era in our legal
records." W, repeat it : never was a larger debt of public
gratitude earned by any :Ilinister of the Crown for any
act affecting the internal improvement and welfare of the
kingdom. _ _

How-roust renewed his attack on the Pasco Peru—
vian Mining Company, last night, but the House disre-
garded him, and the Bill was read a second time.

TLe Times, which is remarkable for indulging every
mean and little passion, has chosen to devote its leading
article of yesterday to the aspersions of the I.llxNnicrry
SOC4ETY. It some time ago, as we all well remember,
made a shameless and unfounded attack on the Secretary
of this Society, of which he took a very strong publ.:
notice. Unable to support its imputations, and mortified
that its malignity and falsehood should have been so openly
and completely exposed, the Tinter has omitted no oppor-
tunity of revenging itself by a species of low abuse, which,
however it may be despised, is not, from its nature, open
to direct and explicit reply.
" A Card (says this Journalist), which ban been transmitted
to us; indicates that the Seventh Annual :fleeting of the Society
for the Suppression of Mendicity will take place on Thursday
next, at Freemasons' Hall, • when a Report of the Society's
proceedings will be read. and *dicers appointed for the ensuing
year.' W e may, probably, attend to this Report, if other mere
important business does not occupy our time. In the mean
while, we cannot help remarking upon the present state of the
streets as to beggars. It is well known that rat-eatdiera en.
courage the breed of those animals which they are paid to
destroy. We should think that the agents of the Mendicity So-
ciety are actuated by some similar principle ; except that the rat-
catchers, though they will not allow the race to become extinct, will
not suffer it to abound ; whereas the beggar-catchers do permit ma
streets to be infested to a dcg.eee which we have neTer keolvn before.
The doors of some of the pastrycooks are nuisances. ll't row and
then see a beadle give a snirdy beggsr-bon plying there a stripe on
the back, but who ever observed an agent attic Mendicity ricioiety
clear the street ?"
The paltry feelinLs which produced all this are mani-
fest. It is a sample of malice which defeats irselt,•.becauset
every honest mind revolts at it. The writer deals in flat
assertions; he

" Sings of beggars blind and dark,
Like some old snuffling parish clerk ;"
but no assertions can be more grossly untrue ; the streets
are not infested with beggars in any thing like the slum-
bers which haunted them a few years back. That there
may be, 'here and there, a poor creature begging charity
at the door of a pastrycook's may be true, and the Mr.-
dicky Society, much to their credit, do not affect to em-
ploy agents to clear the streets with that inhuman and re-
morseless spirit which the Times Journalist would fain
insist upon. The Society are not so strongly stnitten, as
he is, with the love of arbitrary power. The aim of their
benevolence takes a different and a wider range. The
Society announces itself distinctly as being institiveil
" for the put pose of checking the practice of public men-
dicity, with all its baneful and demoralising consequences,
by putting the laws in force against Istrosro as, who adopt
it as a trade, and by 'fronting prompt and '/ritual assiAt-
a:7:T to those ?clot?! sudden (-Amity and ?rani; :led distress.
mail (as: in wont and misery span the public attention."
These are the high and praiseworthy objects of the ma-
nagers of this Institution ; and we aced only turn to their
A NI./ • I.R E roars to learn the very extensive and efficient
services they have rendered to the community, not only in
the vast amount of real distress which they have relieved,
but in the variety of imposture they have detected—the
systematic frauds they have suppressed—the Wpm 'of

wretchedeass they have removed—the useful direction
which they lulve given to the funds of the truly benevo-
kat--abd the success with which they have labastrad to
protect the charitable mid humane against those endless
frauds and impositions with which this metropolis
abounds.
It remains only to quote the concluding observations of
the Times, that we may show up the gvlmact of their spite
and tnalevoknee in all its extent.

" It is some tune ago 'knee des wmaineil OW celebrated Briefer-
street Gam, ; end It will bate bees elferlf*, radioed with what
energy the more respectable trembles of Myaboittration repelled
from theumeites any charge of be: Oat oileriiiss • Asso-

of the Beggar Satiety to catch the amialtili at *l+ apastitutionat

gar Society-men, so that we might be rflf ed thew bath- sod have

A keen satirist has said, speaking of the effect of wi4lice
on a vulgar mind,
" This active principle within
Produces sometimes on the brain
A rage and violence like gin."
This unseemly exhibition is here L.:anglified to the very
letter. But rte will now tam to the real cause Which oc-
cation all this foul gall to flow over. The fact is, that in
the last Report (the sixth) of the Society for the Suppres-
sion of Mendicity, the false charges which the Times some
time :Lure brought against it, and to which we have above
adverted, are completely disproved; they are Stamped as
false with a elearnewrnot to be resisted. It is this exposure
that has taxed its wrath. We have here the secret of all
that rancour against this Society, which, 'in language
equally offensive to truth and decency, they have so meanly
displayed.
We quote the following ii•om the conclusion of the tie-
port, which rebuts the slander we etude to:—
* The Managers have now applied themselves to every part of
the • flagrant deception,' and the • shameful disclosure,' which the
Times affects to have promulgated. They feel no uneasiness as to
the consequences of censure so wholly groundless--so entirely un-
deserved. The subscribers will no doubt think with them, the:
imputations which admit of such easy refutation may be expected
to advance, rather than impede, the prosperity of the Institution.
'f ht explanation those imputations have Called forth will probably
pm an accession of supporters, now for the first time satisfied with
the capability of this Establishment to diminish the sum of human
suffering, and to direct the general flow of benevolence into useful,
and proper channels. The undeviating attention of the Managers
to the trust reposed in them fat six years, iu which period more
than 23,000 cases have been treated with care and humanity, must
reader them competent ledges of what is the true mesninc and
intention of the subscribers ;* and, in regtrd IS the success which
has crowned their exertions. the improved state of the public streets
affords unequivocal and unerring evidence."
We need seek no further for the cause of the attack on
this Society by the Times %Journal. The conscience of the
writer is taking its revenge.
CITY, %VenXIIDAY Evewnec.
A considerable sensation was produced in the City this
morning, in consequence of the unfavourable news from
India. Fur a time it even affected Consols, which fell for
the account from 94 to 931. But the panic ceased towards
the close of the market, rid stocks were firm at the latter
quotation. The money prices were, 931/. In the foreign
market, Spanish Bonds were 24i, and the new 193. Oid
Greek Bonds were at 35i, and the Scrip fluctuated between
and I/ discount, and it was rather light at that price.
Mexican Scrip drooped • it was Slj, and the Brazilian
3 . Colombian Bondi were from 91i 92 : indeed,
SJuth American Securities were heavy throughout
the day. India Bonds were considerably depressed ;
holders were inclined to sell for the opening, at '278,
although the price was 284 when the close took place for
the dividend ; the shares were generally heavy, owing, it
was supposed, to some remarks made in the Court of
Chancery. Anglo-Mexicans were partiettlarly heavy, but
their decline seemed to be attributable to another cause,
viz. the call . for a further payment on the shares.
Thera was nothing doing in the Nail Roads. It
was expected that the Atlantic and Pacific 'Shares would
have been at a higher premium. This Company is for
mining and trading in central America, at well as for
uniting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The distance
necessary to cut through to form the canal is not more
than twelve miles, anti a large revenue is expeCted from
the whale vessels, 'to save them the trouble of going round
('ape Horn. It is exted that this source alone will pro-
dun • revenue of 150,000/. per annum. There was
sc rcely a hogshearl'of Sugar sold in Mincing-lane to-day.
A Coffee sale was fixed ; which was afterwards withdrawn.
Thore was nothing doing in spices.
OFFICIAL REPORT ON THE STATE OF
GREECE.
Four years have passed away since the Greeks began the war of
independence ; their et e say has been discomfited wherever he has
appeared. They began this struggle for freedom, for the most
part, with the rudest weapons of warfare. They are now in pos.
session of arsenals, and have pottested themselves of the im-
portant pans at the country, which they have gained by their
courage from the wormout despotism of their old masters. Pro-
digies of valour, not often exhibited even among nations the most
advanced in civilisation and the most perfect in the art of war,
have signalised the triumphant struggle of this nation, to whom
their oppressors had even forbidden the use of arms. Their con-
tinual SUCCel,4ol—the distinction they have gained in the career of
military glory—the determination they have manifested to deliver
themselves from the tyranny that bowed them to the earth—the
manly and successful resistance they have made to this tyranny—
all concur to demomitrate that it must be a vain attempt ever to
trio g them again under the Turkish yoke.
The explanation, however, of the true cause which led to the
astonishing and unexpected results of which we have just spoken,
may prove still more decidedly the impossibilky that the Tutkish
banners should ever again wave over the plains of Greece. A hatred
of the Mussalnian power worked in the hearts of the Greeks far
centuries ; the recollections of the ancient glory of the Hellenists,
and the vexatious proceedings of the Ottoman Government, had
rude this unfortunate people at length resolve to rescue themselves
from the igeomiuieua bondage which had so long stained their
It ea:. and disgraced their name. From that moment all the
port atioa were committed, not only with respect to the Mussul-
ni a Government, but every individual Turk. The Creeks of
all c asses have long felt that they must either triumph or be exter-
n in i:ed. Now, as it is impossible to destroy a whole people, the
t re ks hare succeeded, and will succeed to the end.
Blades, the great resources which the Ottoman empire corn.
sanded. and which gave the Turks their immense superiority at
el • beginning of this struggle, have all been successively called
loth and exhausted in the different attempts they have made
tiuring the tour campaigns against the independence of Greece.
All thew efforts have been in vain.
In 1821 the Sultan brought forward all his disposable forces ; but,
breasted OD all sides, they were obliged, at the commencement of
w.nter, to evacuate the redeemed territory of the triumphant
Its 181 C, instructed by misfortune, the Divan combined
thiir sea and land forces; and profiting, at the same time, by
the rich spoils of the famous Ali-Pacha of Janina, they were able
to place at the disposal of their most skilful General, Chourschid-
Poch*, a considerable army,which began its operations or. a plan de.
wised by wane apostate Christians to reduce Greece. The naval forces
cruised round the coasts, ready to favour t he operations on land. The
de,igti was to strike terror by some powerful blow, or by several si.
.Itaneous and well-combined attacks ; and as soon as consterna-
tam should be lamed into the Greeks, to offir them an amnesty,
a d thus at once slide the insurrection. In pursuance of this
8 !heire, besides several bodies of troops who were marching
in
other directional, an atmy of 32.000 men penetrated into the Pelo-
ponnesaus. and • body of 3,000 troops landed at Patras joined tiem.
All is over with Grefer wee the cry even of its friends. In a few
days. however, the Greeks in the memorable battles of Argue and
St. George, slew the greater part of that army ; the afikir of Aerate
destroyed the remaintla, and not a man of those 40,000 Turks
returned out of Peloponnessue. An Albaniun army of nearly 16,000
men, under the command of the skilful and brave Albanian, Omar
Vrioni, penetrated into Etolia. and besieged 3lissilmghi. Of all
thr army, the flower of bower and Lesser Albania, 3.000 men
oily regained Epirus. On the Other hand. the recut, of war be.
tinging to the Archipelago blew up two Turkish fing-ships, and
,lestroved several vessels in the canal of Scio and in the port of
'f enetiot ; they have proved that it is not messes of wood, but
mm, that gain naval victories. The Government expresses itself in
t to following manner in its solemn declaration at the entwine efi
.kstros on he results of this campaign :—" Of the numerous hoed. 8
gathered into inasees from Europe. Asia, and Africa, again to wt.
,ugate Greece, more then 80.000 have thanks to the courege of our
ree leveed on the soil they came to drench with blood."
In 1/13 the Porte turned their eyes upon 31t.s.apha, Paella of

of all the officers of his Staff beseeching him, as they saw his army
wasting every day, to raise the siege, did not shake his firmiterc
All his efforts, however, only brought on the destruction of more
than two-thirds of his army ; the remainder returned to chyle
country in a deplorable condition. The Porte, seeing, ten
one hand the t‘ro must skilful and influential ABsliniao Cidefs,
placed as it were hors etc combat, and on the other all the Eti-
ropean forces exhausted in useless entlerrOurs, turned their views,
in 1824, towards Egypt, and succeeded in engaging the -Pacts in
their struggle against the Greeks. Asia wts also required to. eon-
trihttte according to its means. The regular army of Illeheuitd-
Ali Paths, to the number of about 16,100 men and $OO sail of
vessels, composed of the force. of Egypt and Ilarbarysjoined to
European transports, set sail from -Alexandria, under the, com-
mand of Ilarahim Pacha. The Capitan Paths himself hvl al-
ready entered the Archipelago with mote than 200 sail. .The
Asiatic army was assembled on the coast opposite Own, and
ready to be embarked ; another army was assembled itriair the
orders of Bandit Pacha, in the plains of Thessalia. The whole
of this Was+ of combined forces seemed on thr point of. swallowing
up the Archi?elago and the whole continent of Greece.
In the mean time., a part of the Greek fleet, to the amount of
39 'sail, directed its course to Santos; there it beat the Turkish
teat at different times, and pursued and burnt a part, which com-
pelled it to take shelter in the ports of Asia. The Asiatic army,
being terrified, instantly disbanded. The same fate awaited the
Egyptian fleet ; being beaten wherever they met the Greeks, dis-
persed and burnt, it only found safety in flight.
It may perhaps be thought that all these advantages of the
Greeks arise only from their haying to deal with a barbarous and
impotent enemy ; yet several European States, who keep up a navy
more or less considerable, such as Naples, Sardinia, Spain, &c. still
pay tribute to the Barbary Regencies, whilst the Greeks, who as
yet only reckon in their navy vessels of commerce armed for war,
have a moat sovereign contempt for the squadrons of the Regencies.
lit the assemblage of the naval Musaulman force they look upon
them as nothing. In 1823, wishing to make a diversion agatmo
these 'aquadrons, they contented themselves with sending two
blydriot toss-saillng brigs, in order to annoy the connesesial shipping
of Barbary. This they executed during an entire summer, in spite
of all thc naval forces of three treys. They attacked every merchant
vessel which dared to show itself upon the seas. If one of the Eu-
ropean Slates tributary to the Barbarians had the means of the Greeks
no docbt.they would obtain from those rutfaans all the cm-anions
b.", could desire. A thousand other facts, which the limits of a
Memorial cannot admit, prove that the Greek navy possesses a pe-
culiar strerg It, in consequence of the tnoral energy and the daily
hab is and genius of its seamen, of greater efficiency than mere
dosses of wood. The conclusion to be drawn from the facts we
ha' e related is, that all the efforts of the Turks have only served to
procure Greece new, triumphs, and that the Porte has at last e c
hausted all its repointes; Omar Vrioni and the Pacha of Scodrs.
after their bold and fatal attempts, can no longer undertake any en-
terprise, however unimportant ; and the Paolia of Egypt will.
doubtless, reface to co-operate in an effectual manner to the ap-
oroaching canipaign. The same events prove that the more the
Turks enfeeble themselves the more the Greeks gain in be-
coming more and more accustomed to war. There is,
however, another still more important fact, which we have not yet
touched upon ; it is that of the finances, the chief sinews of war.
Front the firm outset the Greek Ilevolutian in itself struck a fatal
blow to that p3werful resottiTe of the Turkish Empire, in depriving
it of those revenues which it drew from the insurgent provinces; the
taxes of the Peloponnetsus alone, amounted to 38,000,000 francs.
The Greeks were the soul of the Ott..nnn Empire: the Turks in
their pride only deign to learn the trade of arnie, and are in that em-
pire fit for nothing else but garrison soldiers it was the Greeks
Who filled the soil, trafficked, navigated, exercised every species of
industry, and who, in a word, vivified the East ; and without that
intelligent and active people, the empire of Osmanlis would long
since have been nothing more than a lifeless arty.; so that the
insurrection of a part of the people has truck the finances of the
Porte with a paralysis, greater than that caused by thelast six years'
war with the Russians. In the short space of the present war
the Turkish Government have thrice adulterated the circulating
medium, which is reduced to one-fourth of its intrinsic value. It
is this that occasions the Turks to keep on good terms with that
part of the Greek population which is still subject to their empire:
it has also made them repel the proprisal of the general massacre of
that population, a prep oral that, in gm, was often debated In the
Divan.

MUTINY OF NATIVE TROOPS IN INDIA.
to the Cakkfla Gazdte of Nov. 4 1
OFrICIAI. REPORT.
" CALCUTTA, Nov. 4.41
" As considerable public anxiety will naturally have been f
regarding the events which have recently occurred at Barraeltpore,
we are authorised to state the following particulars :
" Symptoms of insubordination had manifested themselves for
some days io the 47th regiment of Native Infantry at that station,
under orders to proceed to Chittagong On Monday morning $
large proportion of the corps refused to obey their officers, and
conducted themselves ih a moat outrageous manner. Notwithstand-
ing sufficient time was allowed them for reflection, and every effort
was made to induce them to return to their duty, they continued on
Tuesday morning Ina state of open Mutiny, which it beams Ars..-
clispensably necessary to put down by the employment of force.
In consequence, at an early hour, the battalion of his Majesty's
Royal Regiment and some artillery from Dumdum took up a po-
sition in the rear of their quarters, while his Majesty's 47th regi-
ment, the body-guard, and the 62d regiment of Native Infantry,
firmed in line on their left. Colonel Neil, Colonel Stevenson, and
Captain blacan were then sent by his Excellercy the Commander.
in-Chief to order the mutineers to ground their arms. This they
refused to do. Two signal guns were immediately fired, as pre-
viously concerted, and the artillery opened upon their rear. 'I hey
then fled in various directions, and were pursued by the King's
regiments and the body-guard. A considerable number were
killed, and many prisoners taken, for the trial of whom • Court
Martial was immediately convened. The 26th and 62d regi-
ments of Native Infantry, which were also under marching or-
ders, behaved throughout the morning with the most perfect
steadiness ; and, by the accounts received yesterday, it appears
that tranquillity has been completely re-established, and that the
severe example which it has been necessary to make has produced
the desired effect.
" Two of the body-guard were unfortunately killed by a shot
from one of the guns, but no other casualty occurred among the
troops employed on the occasion."
The folloaing is an extract of a private letter of the
nine tlate:—

[From the Suppleme4st

•• On Monday last a mutiny broke out amongst the native regi-
ments at flarrackpore, on the occasion of three out of live being
ordered to march for Chittagong, by the route of Dacca. Whether
it was dislike of the service, or the sense of real or supposed hard.
ships, is hardly yet ascertained, but certain iris, that both had for
some time been rankling in their breasts, and the morning of the
intended departure of the first of the three regiments was the
time chosen for declaring their intentions. Accordingly, at day.
break on Monday morning, the 47th Native Infantry appeared on •
the parade without their knapsacks, and being questioned what
was the reason of their doing so, in disobedience of the previous
order, avowed their determination not to march unless allowed bul-
locks and coolies to convey their moveables. The officers first, and
General Dalul, the Commandant of the station, expostulated with
them ; but they stood resolute, and not only disobeyed the order to
I pile their arms, but obliged the General to quit the field upon
which they maintained themselves. The other regiments, all but.
one, it is said, refused to act, though one other expressed its readi-
ness to march Couriers were accordingly despatched to the Com-
mander-in-Chief, who was at Calcutta, and he repaired imme-
diately with his guard, followed by the Governor-Otneral's body
guard, to the spot where the mutineers kept their position. Their
appearance, however, was of no avail, and unluckily 411 rounds of
ball cartridge had been recently served out preparatory to the
march, so that very serious apprehensions were entertained of the
result. IV'e had then in garrison at Fort %Villiain the Ist battalion
Royal Scots, about 1900 strong, and the 44th regiment, and by
great good fortune the 47th had dropped down the river in boats,
on their route to Rangoon or Chittagong, only the evening before.
The latter were countermanded by express, and directed to ascend
to Barrackpore in their boats with the tide; and the Royals, at
sun-set, were marched along the high road. The artillery from
Dumdum fell in on the line of march, and the whole force was
brought to bear on the mutineers before daylight of Tuesday.
The 47th King's took up the ground behind them towards the
river, the artillery on the verge of the park opening embrasures
in the bamboo hedge, and the Royals, on the Calcutta side,
drawn up its line. The mutineers, who seem to have been
about 6.000 strong, were then summoned and harangued by Wat-
son, and their object demanded. They asked for their bullocks
and coolies, as accustomed, and for douhlo boas, which were re-
fused, and an order given to ground their arms, which they reso-
lutely distegarded. At this time I understand they were formed
in three lines, presenting faces each way ; but I have yet no par-
' ticulars of what passed before the order to lire on them, which was
executed; first, by a single gun shorted, being tired over their
heads (Intentionally t ; next, by a general discharge of grape.
The mutineers do not seem to have been aware of the presence of
the artillery, which, however, did but little execution, owing to
the intervention of the trees, huts of the cantonment, and other
impediments. It however caused them to break, when the light
companies dashed in and did considerable execution. Ninety pri-
soners were taken, and secured in the guardhouse; the greater
part escaped. 1 believe facilities lolly were intentionally afforded.
fhe Provost Marshal and Its myrmidons were forthwith put in
requisition, and the prisoners, we understood, were all to be shot
or hanged; but, in truth, though no more than fourteen miles'
distant, we at Calcutta know nothing of what is passing but what
we can glean front private friends. The Papers are silenced, and,
es is the common case, rumour is ten times more Mischievously at
work, and has gone all over the country with the most frightful
exaggerations. The business is,however, considered as suppressed
for the present, though it is very doubtful how the regiments under
orders to march, both implicated beyond doubt, will act when
called upon.
way of increasing perplexities, we had only yesterday ad-
' viers from Rangoon or the most unsatisfactory kind. The Bur-
mese have cut oils detachment of 200 sepoys and their officer', and
after massaerving the whole, have barbarously mangled their re-
mains and hung diem tap is (crewel's. Colonel Smith's regiment
of Madras sepoys were fairly panic-struck, and ran oil from a
stockade they were brought up to, swearing it was manned by Eu-
. worms. The place was afterwards found abandoned, on the ad-
vance of an European detachment under Macrae, and its guns
l discovered to br. all wooden."

gad that, if there were time, the petition should be presented for
that purpose. He had no doubt that the whole body of Au aionects
would come fotward and sign the Petition; but as yet th.tre had
not been sufficient time fully and fairly to enforce the importance
of the question upon the minds of a at number of them. He
thought each Gentleman present should undertake to see a certain
number of Auctioneers in his district on the subject; and he had
no hesitation to say that every one of their profession would joist
in opposing a B:ll so fraught with ill consequences to their coin-
Mon interests. He Kr one would gladly call on twenty or thirty
Gentlemen, whose signatures he was certain of obtaining.
Mr. Mining satd he was happy to hear such a proposition
made, and they only wanted a few such Gentlemen at Mr. Cam.
plan in order to oppose successfully this moat injurious Bill, which
was in almost all its provisions opposing itself to every one's in-
terests. Every Auctioneer with whim he had spoken on the sub-
ject considered it highly necessary to do every thing on their parts
to prevent such a measure being passed into a law. They were all
fully impressed wilt the truth that it was calculated to trespass
roost unfairly on their eligible and admitted rights as Auctioneers.
With regard to the Committee of the house of Commons appointed
to sit on the Bill, he wished to avoid saying any thing that could
be construed offensive, or to make one single invidious remark;
but a fact had come to his knowledge which lie hoped 3lr. Ramp
would be made acquainted with ; it was this, that out of twenty-
one Gentlemen who composed the Committee, no less than nine
of them were either Directors or Vice. Presidents of this Equitable
Loan Bank Company. This was, be conceived, an important fact.
Their Gentlemen were going to d::cide the merits of a cause lu
which they arpeared to be plaintiffs. He would not presume to
say that they had an 'ad interest in the question ; but the Let
he had mentioned certainly did appear extraoril inary.
Mr. CAMPION felt that the circumstance just communicated was
of that importance that it ought to be known to the public.
The Reaolution was then put, and unanimously agreed to.
Mr. ELGOOD moved that the petitions should be laid at Garra-
way's Coffee House, Cornhill, for signatures, till Monday next,
from one to four each day, slid that public notice should he given
thereof. .

On the motion being seconded. it was unanimously agreed to.
Mr. FORSTER thought that if it were considered worth while to
oppose the Bill at all, It ought to be done with vigour, and he
trusted it would be done with effect; but at this must necessarily
be attended with considerable expense, he should beg leave to pro-
pose that a subscription be entered into to defray all the costs to be
incurred in the prosecution of their object. No one could doubt
but that those who favoured the obnoxious Bill now before the
House of Commons, did en with a view to aggrandise themselves
at the expense of the Auctioneers and their families; he therefore
trusted every one whose interests were thus assailed would come
firward and support the measures of the present Meeting. He
then moved that a subscription be entered into.
Mr. SCOTT seconded the Resolution.

The CHAIRMAX said that a very important proposition had
brew made, and which it was essential should be attended to.
The Resolution was then put and agreed to.
Mr. Macntx begged to inform the Chairman and the Meeting
that it had just been communicated to him that tit Committee of
the House of Commons would not sit till Monday ; and it bad
been suggested to him that there was a wish to Wing this subject
forward on Friday in the Common Council, by watl' of memorial.
How far such a course might be advisable it was for the Meeting
to determine.

......
The Cm•inatior observed that the Meeting were driven up into
a corner. lie did not mean to say that such a step would not be a
good one, but the difficulty of effecting it at so short a notice forced
itself very strongly upon him.
Mr. SCOTT said it was doubtful whether a memorial would be
entertained by the Common Council unless it were signed by gen.
demen who wire citizens.
Mr. It .perceived several gentlemen present who Were
Citizens of London, and who perhaps would take advantage of
this hint to forward a measure which appeared calculated very ma-
terially to promote the interests of the Auctioneers.
Mr. CAMPION thought that the proposition to bring the question
before the Common. Council ought not to be lost; and he would
therefore move that such a memorial should be prepared; and he
for one would sign it. lie had no doubt many gentlemen would
do the same who were not only Citizens, but Liverymen and Com-
, mon Councilmen too, and whose interests, as Auctioneers, were in-
volved in the question now before the Meeting equally with the
interests of those who were not Citizens. lie begged to move that
a Memorial be drawn up, and laid before the Common Council of
London to-morrow.
Mr. BULLOCK seconded the Motion.
The CHAIRMAN put the Resolution, and it was agreed to LIDS-

nineously.
Mr. FOISTE a was then appointed Treasurer.
The thanks of the Meeting were afterwards given to Mr. J.
Abbott, and the Meeting adjourned to Monday near, at seven
o'clock.

The Puke of Cambridge had determined on visiting
England for some months during the present season, ac-
companied by his Royal Duchess, and preparations were
making in Lo idon for the reception of their Royal High-
nesses. A mansion-hcuse was about being taken suitable
for their accommodsfy ; but the whole of the preparations
have been stopped, in consequence of letters having been
received in London from the Duke of Cambridge within
these few days, from Hanover, stating, that in consequence
of the grievous calamity which has befallen Hanover by
the breaking of the dikes, and the dreadful and disastrous
calamities brought on the inhabitants, his Royal Highness
has determined on foregoing the pleasure of visiting his
native country, and intends to remain in Hanover to give
every possible assistance and relief to the distressed Mita-
bi:ants.

Mi. Secretary Canning, we are happy to say, was so
much recovered yesterday as to be able to walk with the
assistance of a stick. The Right Hon. Gentleman is still
attended by Dr. Holland and Mr. Muter.
Sir Charles Stuart left London yesterday upon his mis-
sion to Portugal. He is not expected to sail for Lisbon
until Monday.
The Hon. Mr. Ponsonby and Lady Barbara Ponsonby
gave an elegant entertainment on Monday to the Catholic
Deputation. Among the guests were—The Marquis of
Lansdown, Earl Fitzwilliam, Earl Grey, Earl Beshorougb,
Lord and Lady Duncannon, Lord Killeen, the Hon. Mr.
Preston, Sir Francis Burdett, M.P., General Ponsonhy,
Mr. O'Connell, Mr. O'Gorman, Secretary of the Catholics
of Ireland, Mr. Shell, Mr. Finn, &c. &c.
Amongst the numerous petitions presented against the
Bill for suppressing the Catholic Association, the mot t
important was one brought over by Mr. Lawless, of WA.
fast, from the Presbyterians and Dissenters of the Nv rtli
of Ireland. It was signed by persons possessed of mer-
cantile and landed property to the amount of nearly five
millions.

CHARGE OF MURDER.
John Alb's, Thomas Reeve:, and Thomas Collier were indicted
for the wilful murder of Wiiham Il:orris.
Mr. ROBINSOY opened the case to the Jury. Mr. ANDREWS
was with Mr. Robinson.
Mr. STORM' and Mr. DOVER st!speared for Allen and Reeves,
Mr. STORER was Counsel for Alleleslone, and Mr. TAYLOR ap-
peared fur Colliet.—Mr. Waal. for Reeves.
Wm. Reeves—ls a labourer, lives at Buckland ; knew deceased
and his brother, and the prisoners at the bar. Recollects the 19th
Feb. last. Was then at a pubic house w;Ct de.•isid and That.
Morris. They left at half-past ten, and deceased wu with him.
William Morris continued with me, but Thomas passed on to the
left. Thomas carried a shovel and la draining spade. I heard
some halloo behind, and went back and saw my brother and the
other two prisoners. My brother had a bag. I said you have got
potatoes there. lie made no reply. After my brother reached his
house the two prisoners continued on the road. My brother over-
took us along with them. 1 asked my brother why he had not
ataid at home. lie made no answer. There is a path which' leads
to the did Bell from the place where we stood. The prisoners
were in one path, and they turned into another, and then came
back to the same which led to the Old Bell public house. They
went up to the Old Bell public-house. The deceased and witness ar-
rived first at the New It.-11, as the people were not up at the Old Bell.
There was no light in the New Bell, and I heard Allen ask the
other prisoners if they would go down to his house, and have ionic
wine. The prisoners then went down the street after them, ns it
was their way home. My brother said as we went along, that I
deserved a good hiding, and if I was not his brother he'd gr''.-e me
one. We were then near Allen's house. There is a yard near
Allen's house. The deceased was then behind me. I saw Allen
then give something to Collier—it was a bag with something in it,
and a little dog. He then had nothing in his hands. Allen then
went down the road towards his house, Collier followed. The night
was dark, and I was unable to see where Allen went to. He re-
turned ; he had been gone about a minute Or a minute and a half.
I continued to stand where I Wu, and the deceased stood behind
me. Allen, on his return, had in his hand a rail, about two yards
in length be guessed it to be ; it *as a thickish rail. He punched
the rtil at me, but it did not hit me. I had a draining spade in my
hand. I drew a little on one side. He then lifted up the rail, and
bit Wm. Morris, apparently on the head, bat I could not see—l
merely heard it. It was a downright blow. My brother, at the
moment the blow was struck caught hold of the draining-spade,
and took it away from me. I resisted. Allen came up to me again, and
hit me on the aideof the head with his fist. I did not at this time see
the rail in his hand. I let go the spade, and hit him again, and he
knocked rue down, and I saw Collier coming up just at that time.
Allen and Collier kicked me about. I begged and prayed or them
to let me get up, and they did let me get up. • They went up
Allen's yard to have some wine ; I then followed them. I never
saw where deceased then was, as I never looked behind Inc. I
went into Allen's yard, and asked where William Morris was, and
Collier said I must go and final him. I went hack to the spat
where I saw John Allen strike him ; I found the deceased there,
lying rather on the side of the road ; his face was laid downwards,
and his chin was on the ground. I felt all along him, from his
breeches up. and when my hand reached his head, my linger
slipped into a great hole. I said, " William Morris isidead, and
John Allen has killed him." Collier slid, "No, he can't be
dead." I said, " Yes, he is." I asked a lantern from Wm.
White ; he did not give mr. one ; but Collier got a lantern, and
returned with me, and we looked at him. He was a dead man.
The ground where his head lay was bloody. George Thorne was
the next person who came up to the body. I staid by the
body for an hour and a half, and then it was removed. Allen
came out at the gate, and he might have seen the body ; it was
about fourteen yards from his gate ; he had a blc..:k jacket on ; he
had before a light frock on him. The body was' removed to the
Old Bell. I was not able to assist in carrying the body my knee
was so bad. I was assisted by two men. I was not drunk. nor was
the deceased. We had ten quarts of beer between seven of us.
By the Cot:lT—We were not all drinking together.
Cross-examined by Mr. SToacts—Were you not drink
was not.

Upon your oath will you swear you were sober was a little
fresh.

Now in going from the public-house to Bucklar'a which is the
nearest way ?-111, house is two furlongs from the public-house.
The deceased lived below me. He lives not inn contrary direction
from me. My house at Buckland is about half a mile from the
prisoner ; it may be a little more or a little teas.
Now do you mean to represent upon put oath that It is only
half a mile ?—No ; I never measured it.
Will you swear it is not two miles ?.._yea, I will.
A mile and a half ?—I think I car..
Will you swear that the Way you went that night from the
public-house is not more than hal, a mile?—Year upon a mile, I
think.

Well, we have got a.little nei.rer the truth. Now, is yJur house
or the public-house nearer Allen's ?—1 can't understand that
question.
You can't—Try ?
Mr. RoUllwaofi—Oh 7.'11 admit it further.
Which was your house or the deceatted's nearer Allen's ?—Mine.
You followed them aYt the wiy from the public-house
You turned out of Y.te road to follow them ?—Yes.
Whose meadows 'rid you gross ? Thomas Hewood's and Mr.
Ginger's, of Astov . The next field was ploughed, and we went
across the bottom sJI it, and kept close behind the prisoners: that
was a round. A t this time I had a spade and deceased a shovel.
Allen had a bar and a little dog with a string. We first joined at
the Plough ; I was sober enough ; I knew all that passed. I never
heard Allen si.y at the Plough, • Why do you push and shove me
about ?" li.lon't mean to swear that 1 heard all that passed ; Ido
not mean tr, swear that no words passed ; there was no dispute ; no
quarrellinsi; no great to-do. Angry words might pass, but I
did'nt her tr them ; I did'nt hear the deceased say, " I'm as good •
man as •vou are, and I've got live shillings ih my pocket., I'll
swear erat I never said, " That's right, Will, don't be afraid. I've
got turns in my pocket," nor anything of the sort. We passed
Mf. Marks's stile ; the three prisoners gat over thst stile first.
Neither of us flourished ou: spade or shovel. I finer said to Mrs.
',u.eene that I had marked the stile. It was about eleven o'clock
when we reached the New Bell. That's out of the way. The first
attack was made upon me ; I saw Annex hand cut bifore the Ma-
gistrate ; I saw it before I went there at 3lr. Spencer's. There
was a bit of a scratch on it as if from • spa3e. 11l swear there were
not high words before he struck me. My brother threatened to
give me a hiding. I suppose because he thought we were following
them, but my only reason for following them was, that if they got
into a public.house witness would also gain admission. Het Mien)
ran down, and suddenly returned with a hedge stake, and attacked
me first, and then the deceased.
Cross-examined by Mr. Wgxsn. for Reeves -My brother joined
us before we got to Mark' stile. fly brother did not say to the other
prisoners, " Let us get up the lands and get rid of them." He
said something I did'nt hear, and then they tamed up the fields.
By the COL' T—liow often did your brother state that you rie-
served a good hiding, and that if you wets not his brother he would
give you one ?—Twice.

There were several witnesses corroborating in some respects the
previous testimony.

The prisoner., in defence, declared that they had been followed,
pereeute3, and annoyed by the deceased snd the first witness, be-
fore the prisoner Allen struck deceased.
For the definer, witnesses were called to show that the pri.oners
had to •n provoked by decewd and the tint witness. They all re-
ceived good characters for humanity.

The Lca-ned Junor nrocreicel to tell the July that under ibis
in lictmei t the Jury could not convict one prisoner of amnia and
the others of manslaughter. though they might convict all of man-
slaughter; and he thought it quite clear that l'olher r.•dld not be
deemed guilty of murder —he was net present when the bktr was

Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 10!.
SUMMERS V. 11ENHOW.
Just, opened the pleadings.
.31r. C. PnILLIPS stated, that this was a cause of very great op
piessiOn, committed by the defendant, au opulent farmer, on the
pLuntiff. who was a eery poor man—a wotking gardener. In the
per 1810, this poor man was prevailed upon by his richer neigh-
bour to take of him the cottage in which the plaintiff afterwarte
lived, Ord the defendant promised that so !yogis the plaintiff re-
gularly paid his rent he would never men hint nut of the cottage.
However, notwithstanding that the poor man kept mum' his hard.
earned pittance enough to pay the rent regularly, this rich tamer.
his landlord. gave Imo notice to quit his cottage on the Pd of Fe-
bruary, 1323. This, between it arose from ithe Anne caprice at the
defendant, he had no right to complain of; but in the cot:nee-1
that tuorth (the plaintiff not being in arrear for cent) the defendant
came, with other men, and took away the whole of the furniture of
the cottage, under pretence that double rent ,vas due, because the
poor titan had not gone out of the cottage on the 2d of Febrhare.
The poor man's wife begged that their tieh oppressor would but Is:
than have time to get another cottage ; but to that very smelt ro-
quest a deaf car was turned. She then asked that they would lam e
a bed fur the children to sleep upon—but to this the defendant
inside no answer,and took the whole of the little furniture of the cot-
tage away. This, liewever, was not all he had to complain of—fer
pp sooner had the charity of the poor train's neighbours ir.doced
them to lend him soine.other furniture to use in his corsage. the&
the defendant came again, and, under pretence of making another
distress, seised the whole of that, anti all the•wearing-apparel of test
poor man's wife, even to her very shifts ; and when she (being vets
ouch frightened) did but complain, the defeatism said it was at.
through her d—d tongue. lie supposed that it would be said cat
the part of the deduct, that the defendant generously sent to the
poor man's wife to say, that if they would but turn out of the cot.
edge they should hare their goods again. Baton this the plain-
tiff's wife had very truly observed, that she and the children could
no: lie under the hedges. None of the furniture had ever been re-
stored. lie would call upon them for such a compensation as would
tcaeh rich men that their riches were not given then for the parpose
Glomming their poorer neighbours.
Richard Hodges stated, hat the defendant said he would never
tarn the plaintiff out of the cottage as long as the raw was paid
that he was with the plaintiff when lie offered the definslant lie so►
vereins for a year's rent of the cottage, bat that the chnedinh.
