LONDON,
WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 22, 182).

The affrirs of Turkey, so far at least as they yes
gard the question of a probable war between Russia
and the Porte, seem to approach their crisis. This
point, to which the eyes of the world are now turn-
ed with anxious interest, will soon be determined,
and if an opinion were to be formed from the ex-
tensive military preparations which are said to be
made, both in Austria and in Russia, we should
judge that the result of the discussions which have
so long occupied the several Cabinets of Europe
will be unfavourable to the interests of Turkey.
The Paths Papers of Saturday inform us that the
Austrian army on the Turkish frontiers continues
to receive coesideruble reinforcements, and that ex-
tensive magazines are forming in Hungary. An
impression is hence said to prevail in Vienna that
Austria will take an active part in the ensuing
quarrel in concurrence with Russia ; sad we are
further told that the rashness and presumption of
a Turkish officer in pursuing a fugitive into the
Austrian territories, and insolently threatening a
repetition of this national outrage, have given suffi-
cient cuuse to the Austrian Cabinet fur assuming
a direct and immediate part in the threatened wit.
A rumour prevailed in %Versate about the 30th of
last month, that a conflict had actually taken place
between the advanced guard. of the Russians and
of the Turks, but nothing is said of the result.
This rumour, we hive no doubt, was premature,
said notwithstanding the confidence with which the
statement', are put forth respecting the extensive
preparations for war, we still entertain the belief
which we have already expressed, that the peace
now subsisting will not be disturbed, at least upon '
the present grounds of quarrel. We had at first
hoped differently, but Russia having protracted so
long her claims to satisfaction fur the insults per-
sonally offered to the Ainbaratulee, our hopes and
wishes have yielded to the sober probability that
Russia hats submitted her private quarrel to the
judgment of other Cabinets, and abstains fruits
the exercise of her superior military strength.
The general interest which attaches itself to the
probability of a war between Russia sod Turkey,
has in a great degree absorbed the anxiety with
which the public used to regard the more minute
concerns of the Greeks in the southern provinces
and is the islands of the Archipelago. We have
teen reason within the last ten days or fortnight to
apprehend that much of the intelligence which had
arrived from the Continent respecting the rapid
successes of the Greeks was exaggerated. If the
real state of the contending parties were known, we
fancy that it would offer nothing Calculated to

excite very elevated notions of the courage, con= 1
duct. or resources of either.
We rend in a Paris Paper with surprise, and no in-
considerable share of disbelief, that JOICEIS Bo Nl•
PAltTa, accompanied by Generals LA LLEMAN D and
Lusavas IDESNOONVfts, has B.llllld in Greece.
where he has announced himself ON the deliverer of
the country. Joseph never was distinguished for
his romantic bravery, and there seems no very satis-
factory cause for his exchanging the security and
comparative comforts of hi* American residence for
the chances of a war waged between barbarians, and
conducted upon principles which are disgraceful to
human nature. It is said in a letter from Leghorn,
that the spirit of independence spreads through the
islands of the Archipelago, and, what is of the ut-
most value to the cause of Grecian independence
should it be true, that an Admiralty Council is
established in the island of Hydra. for the purpose
of conducting the naval operations against the
Turks. We must leave these rumours to rest upon
the authority of the contineutal papers from which
they are extracted.

A considerable number of the witnesses who
have attended the inquests on the bodies of Richard
Honey and George Francis, who were unfortunately
killed on the day of her late Majesty's funeral,
assembled at eleven o'clock yesterday, at the
Viiste Horse public-house, in Knightsbridge-road,
in order to attend the drawing out.of the Ist regi-
ment of life guards, in pursuance of the direc-
tions given by Lord Bathurst for that purpose.
About two o'clock Mr. Stirling, the Coroner, ar—
rived, and the Jury who had been sitting on
Richard Hooey attended with him, and demanded
admittance. They were admitted within a small
door which adjoins the officers' rooms, but shortly
afterwards they came out again, and we under-
stood they were denied permission to attend
during the time the witnesses were viewiug
the boons. The witnesses then who had tickets
from the Coroner were admitted one by one,
their tickets bring previously examined. On being
admitted, they were sliewn into a sort of kitchen
beneath the officers' rooms, where they mustered
about twenty in number by half-past two o'clock.
A long delay now took place, till the witnesses
growing impatient, one of them insisted on being
suffered to depart, which, after some little delay,
whilst his wishes were communicated by the soldier
at the door to his officer, was permitted, and he
departed and did not again return. Wheu he went
away it was communicated by the soldier that any
gentleman might go away if lie pleased, but no
other person went. Another long interval elapsed.
and there being no appearance of proceeding to the
business for which they came there, one of the
witnesses requested to see Mr. Bernie, the Magis-
trate (who, with Mr. Raynsfurd, was in attendance),
but was informed that he was enguged. A message
was then sent to him to know for what the witnesses
were kept waiting ? a reply was sent down that he
was waiting an answer from the Secretary of State's
office. The room being extremely crowded, the
witnesses were informed they might walk in the
riding-school if they pleased, of which permission
they immediately availed themselves, and the
whole adjourned to the riding-school accordingly.
A sentry was placed at the door, and it was not till
nearly the o'clock that they were informed they
must return to the room where they at first waited
as the business was going to begin. Shortly after
the troops were drawn out in four lines, two on
each side the barrack-yard, both officers and oleo
fully accoutred, and mounted as on the day of the
Queen's funeral, the magistrates and officers of the
guards being in attendance on foot.
The first witness was then called, and was at-
tended by a soldier from the room where they were
waiting to the barrack-yard. The Magistrates
there took down the name and address of the wit-
ness, who then proceeded down the centre of the
lines, attended by the Commanding Officer, the
Magistrates and other officers following. The wit-
ness first 'slumlord the front line on the right, and
then proceeded down the rear rank, and again
goiut, down the centre, exainined the men on the
left, and concluded by examining those in the rear.
In the same order all the witnesses in attendance
followed one by one, and as they respectively conclu-
ded their inspection, were let out of the barracks at
the gates leading to the Park or to Knightsbridge-
road. %lien a witness came to an officer or man whom
lie thought he could identify, he was ordered to fall
out of the ranks, to give the witness an opportunity
fully to see him.

it was nearly seven o'clock before the whole was
concluded. The result of this inspection is noticed
in our report of the proceedings of the Coroner's
Inquest resumed yesterday.

Accounts have been received from St. Thomas,
announcing the arrival of the schooner Fa/swish,
at that island, on the 14th last, with intelligence
that a general battle between the Royalists and the
Patriots had taken place on the 24th June, near
Valencia, in which the former were defeated, and
threw themselves to the amount of 2,300 men
into Puerto Cavello, the only place that remains to
thew in Venezuela. Carthage'sa is the only
'strong hold they retain in New Grenada, and they
had been again driven out of Caroms by the
r.striota.

GLOUCESTER THEATRE —We lament exceed-
ingly that our circurnecribed limits will not admit
of our culogium upon the unexpected treat we hat
week experienced in the performances of that fasci-
nating actress Miss S. BOOTH, who, On Wednesday
and Friday evenings appeared before her Glou-
cester friends in the favon•ite character of Lady
Teazle, Therese, and the Widow theerly. with all
her winded and unrivalled excellence, ar.d exciting
the same admiration and applause with which her
efforts on our boards have ever beeu attended. The
same cause prevents our taking more than a passing
notice of the acknowledged superiority of Mr.
W. FARRZN, in Sir Peter Teazle, and Governor
Heartull. This evening (Monday), Miss BOOTH
takes her benefit. She plays Juliana, in the Honey
Noon ; and Little Pickle, in the farce of the Spoiled
Child.—( Gloucester Journal.)
The Augsburg GU,lelit states, on the all au-
thonty of letters from Route, that the Princess
Boaanxse had obtained leave from the English
Government to visit St. Helena, when the news
arrived of her brother's (BONAPARTE'S) death,
having been apprised by Doctor AUTOMARCHI,
that without an immediate change of climate his
disease would prove mortal. The Princess hod also
received several letters and dispatches from St. tie.
lena, including copies of letters from Gellert, Bea-
VIAND to the Earl of LIVERPOOL, mid of notes
from Sir HUDSON Lowe, its which he says he can-
not send off these letters because they gave the
title of Majesty to NAPOLEON.
Oat harvest was begun on Friday near Greenock,
on a field belonging to Mr. ROUERT BLIRD—an
excellent crop.
