A letter from Bayoone, dated the 29th of Au-
gust. states as follows :
" You have of coarse sees the &alleluia circulated by the
Vie,*ls, snd which state that the Trappist has bees com-
pletely defeated. This account is totally blue, because we
• have this moment received an O&Ml account of the entry of
WOO Chief on the 45th, into °Await* at the bead of 1,800
men, for the purpose of concerting with the Provisional Jests
of N , placed is this town, as to the ►est means of de-
stroying the Constitutional troops to be found in this
• Province."

General Eguya,. with his staff, is about to quit
our town. His project, it is said, is to occupy with
a division the frontiers of Navarre, in order to prevent
ell communication between the Liberals.—(La
Quotidievnte.)
In the public sitting of the Society of Agricul-
ture, Commerce, Arts, and Sciences, which a to
take place in the department of the Marne, in the
month of August, 1823, a gold medal, value 300
fiance, is to be given to the writer of the best arti-
cle in answer to the following question :-
0 Does sot the society, in whose name a prosecution is in-
tltitt•ted, owe an Indemnity to the accused, when the law
declines bin innocent ?"

In case of an answer in the affirmative, let an in-
.qatry be made into the motirts which have cau.ed
the maintenance of a contrary system in France, and

let the means be pointed out by which this legis-
lation is to be modified, in conciliating the general
interests of society with the interests of the accused.
A letter from Madrid, dated the 29th ult., states
that the Extraordina►y Cortes will be convoked on
the 25th inst. It was on the morning of the 24th
alt. that the King signed the Decree of Convoca-
tion, which has not yet, however, been made public.
it was known that his Mojesty was averse from this
measure; but the Ministers declined to him that
they would quit their posts, and publish the motives
of their conduct.
The Minister of the Colonies arrived in Madrid
on the 29• h ult. His colleagues, it is said, only
waited for his co•operatiou to adopt energetic
measures, especially against the Royalists who are
in arms.

The military command of Madrid has been taken
from General Copan', who is succeeded by Gene-
rat O'Daly. The latter bad • command in the
army under Riego when he declared the Revolution

COURT OF ASSIZES-POITIERS.
SITTING Of SEPTSSISSIL 7.

Seems of the minor criminals were defended by
MM. Bowen°. and Calnsiel, and Brecht's!, but
dor proceedings were destitute of interest.
• There are only two witnesses, said M. Som-
etime, against my client, Singe, who prove that
he received an individual in his boast of the
mime of Dubois, and that • boa marked with this
name contained General Berton's unifo►m. Be-
rides my client has been divorced three times.
Na doubt he law of divorce ought not to exist un-
der, the King; but Singe had only profited by it to
gal rid of .• wife,.wbo had thrown herself into the
arms of an apostate priest ; and while he had acted
Coder the law, his manners, however bad, would
net be a reason for condemning him when accused
of a conspirecy. The Court is not sitting to pa-
nosh au offence against morality. I have seen •
pietism of justice pursuing crime, bat she was pre-
ceded by. tooth ; . you, Gentlemen of the Jury, must
search by the light of truth, before you authorise
justice to burl her vengeful steel.

COMITANTISOPLE, •UOVIT 10.

The Greek Patiiareh died on -the Bth of this
066th after a long and polies! disease (the dropsy).
His obsequies were performed today with much
order and dignify; tunny thousands (Greek.) follow-
ed him to the tomb. According to ancient custom,
the body hsd been previously exposed on the Pa-
triarchal throne in the cathedral ; and more than
8.800 persons have heen there to kiss the hands and
lost of the chief of their church. On the evening
et the name day the Grand Seignior permitted the

choice of a inceelfor to he 'proceeded in. At the
same time, six Greek Bishops were set' at liberty,
who had been detained es hostages for some months
in the Seraglio. The Porte has informed the Synod
that, if its choice falls on any one of these Bishop►,
it will be approved of without difficulty, provided
the candidete possesses the five following quelities—
rnperienee, prudence, skilfulness, learning, and
fidelity to the Government.
The names of sixty-three Bishops were after-
wards read in the Synod, of whom three were de.
signed as candidates. uniting the necessary qualities.
The Representatives of the Greeks at Constanti-
nople, amounting to GOO voters, proceeded then to
the election, and their choice fell on one of the six
Bishops, viz. the Bishop of Chalcedonic, who was
formerly Bishop of Smyrna. The Synod confirm-
ed this election immediately, which it is hoped will
meet the approbation of the Sultan, and that to-
morrow the new Patriarch will be clothed with the
Ca/tux.
Some days before his death, the Patriarch wrote
an affecting letter to the Sultan, in which he re-
commended the Greeks to his favour. In particu-
lar he requested the abolition of a heavy tax, which
the Greeks of the capital, as well as the Jews and
Armenistis, are obliged to pay every month to the
arsenal. The Grand Seignior received this letter
very graciously, and even before the death of the
Patriarch the tax was abolished by a &min.

PETARIBURGH, AUGUST 20.

Count Nesselrode, Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, set out to-day for Vienna. Count Ferronsys,
the French Ambassador, is also departed (he has
arrived at lleilin.) During the vb•ence of Count
Nesselrode the department fur Foreign Affairs is
confided to 1111. Doff, Privy Counsellor and
Senator.

The news of the march of several Turkish corps
across Theirsly and Lividia, against the Mores, is
folly confirmed. Besides Chourschid Priebe, the
Pachu of Salonica, who had nothing more to fear in
Macedonia, has also advanced with an imposing
force by Larissa and Thermopylae, on Livedis ; and
probably it was he who &ward the corps which
proceeded from Negropont against Thebes and
Athens. But this is all we at present know of the mili-
tary operations in those quarters. Neither the strength
of the opposing armies, the positions they occupy,
• nor the issue of the combats which have taken
place between them, is at all known. if there had
been a great battle in the early part of July, it is
almost impossible that the news should not hive
arrived here, whoever might have had the advantage.
But no one of the Embassies, sod no mercantile
house of any eminence has received any news of thib
kind.

At present it is certain that the Turkish Beet.
amounting to 120 vessels. having on board 40,000
troops, has not stopped et any one of the islands of
the Archipelago, but has proceeded to the Mores,
where it is to assist the operations of the army.
Very decisive events must soon took place there.
