+--

The French Papers, received last night, contain no in-
telligence of any importance beyond their Greek news, and
that was principally communicated by the Augaburgh
Papers, received in the course of yesterday. The
substance of it is (under date Trieste, the 28th of April),
that intelligence from all quarters confirm the previous ac-
counu of the relief of Alissolonglii, by the triumphant entry
of Admiral M1A1.71.14 into that port. Scarcely any men-
tion, however, is made of his having encountered any
Turkish flmt before his reported successful relief of the
fortress. The last accounts from Prevesa, which are said
t be of the 19th of April. assert that it was RF.DECHID
PA A, and not IBRAHIM, who was wounded before Mis-
s donghi, and that h? still remaimil thxre, ill of his wound.
It is evident that these accounts refer to intelligence which
we have already laid before our readers, since we have a
repetition of the destruction of the boats or rafts, on which
part of the Er;yptian army had embarked, in order to aid
in a general attack of the town, by their being stranded on
t/me sand-banks, amber its walls, which placed them
of course under a galling fire from th) besieged. It is
also re-asserted, that FA svteß and GOUII4B had advanced
in rest of the Turks ; that they had captured their works
on the land side of Minolongbi, and had thrown their
whole line into alarm as far as Arta ; and that NOTO
Bo rzaars and Mucci! were universally hailed as the tie-
Lverers of Greece.

• Although we still have confident liepes of the ultimate
triumph of the Greek cause, we cannot avoid noticing, that
if the relief of the fortress by NlsAtit.is had succeeded, the
besieged must have known whether the Egyptian fleet had
Leen attacked by Shay cis or not, previous to his throw-
ing in those supplies for which the ltlissolonghians are re.
presented as professing so much gratitude. We reason
thus from the following account, which is dated Corfu,
April 15 -
•• On the 9 h April it was oliservcd from the wills of Miss°.
lenghi, immix Petro, that. same ships were on tire, and it was
4adiered that Miaulis had attacked the Egyptian fleet. The in-
habitants of Nlissolonglii hive wantonly derlired to the Oreek
Osvernment their most cordial gratitude for the supplies of am-
rn.Mision rind provisions, and at the panne time added the assu.
mime, that they needed nothing more, to preserve Dlissolunglii as
a sacred deposit."

Now we take it to be quite clear that if the inhabitants
had the means of conveying their grateful sense of the as-
sistance thus timely rendered to them, the sane convey-
ance would have b-en liked to inform their countrymen of
any action between the contending fle•ts. Th, re is, in fact,
no power of arriving at any correct conclusion as to this
*Saguia and eventful contest, from the various contra-
dictory and jumbled accounts which come to us through
the Continental journals. .A
stronger proof of this, we
think, einnot well be affbniod, than the contrast between
the ibo4e news and the following extract from the Cer-
Men papers, professing to be taken from the Osserinstore
Triestino, or the 47th of April :

" The captain of a merchantman, oho left Presets on the 14th
April, lava, • that it vu reported in Preve.a that there had been
soother action before klissoloNglii, to the divadvatit ige of the Turks,
and that Ibrahim had returned to the 51orea, leaving 14,000 Turk%
to continue the siege, and having given arch IS to the Turkish beet
to maintain the blockade oir the era

The .Con,t ihtionnel says that M. Ey x Ann has trans-
mitted to the Greek Committee in Paris the following letter,
dated April r.t6 _

" A yessd, which arrived yesterday at Leghorn, has brought
Ms news that the Greek fleet has taken thirty sail of vessels,
laded with provisions of ail kinds for Ibrahim, and 111 A brought
thtm 1:.t0 Ncroli di Romania. This is probably the rause of its
delay. I an impatient to beer of i.s arrival in the Entlian irss,

• The Philhellenic Committee of Geneva has transmitted
to M. Ey NA en a further stun of' 10,000 francs. Many other
awns have been collected in Sv. ita..riand. M. Eystann,
who has hi:nsk If so inuc't contributed to serve the noble
anise of the Greets, heing informed that the first succours
tarnished by the Paris emninittee had arrived at Mis-
gokinghi, and had excited the gratitude of tLe heroic in-
habitants, has none to Ancona, to superintend the new
switsvoys of provisions and cinarunition.

The triumphant majurities which kihristers carripl
with them latt night in both Umtata of i'rriaaratra, on

the two measures which they have introduced for the
purpose of giving relief to the distresred manufacturing
and labouring poor, must be satisfactory to the coun-
try. These measures, it cannot be denied, are earnest
of what Ministers would do for the good of all classes of the
community, were they not thwarted in their best endea-
vours by the obstinacy of many, both at home and abroad,
who either cannot or will not see the ultimate advantages
which must result to all nations by a nearer proximity to
equality and good-will, through reciprocity of trade and a
mutual abatement of those which now amount almost to
prohibitory duties on all sides. We fear, however, that
this must desirable end will be of long attainment, through
the strange jealousies of other nations ; and if we find them
perfectly obdurate on that head, we imagine that Minis-
ters must resort to the old prohibitory laws, if not to a still
more powerful systetr of commercial and maritime exclu-
sion than formerly. None could more lament such a return
to old, and we had hoped exploded tneasures, than we
would, should a recurrence to them be rendered necessary ;
but "self-preservation" (as the adage saTs) is not only the
first law of man's nature, but of nations also. It cannot
fail to be understood that, in the foregoing slight observa-
tions, we allude to the difficulties which our Government
has had to contend with, in obtaining from foreign states
their acquiescence in commercial treaties, founded on reci-
procal advantage.

CITY, THURSDAY EVZNINO.

The buoyancy that was apparent in the money markets yeater.
day has passed away, and rumours of warlike intentions on the part
of Russia, and of unfavourable news from the manufacturing dis-
tricts, have caused Consols to decline considerably in the course of
the day. They opened at 79, but they soon retrograded to 7011 f,
with a very heavy appearance, and subsequently were done at 0,
at which latter price they closed, having been previously, however,
done at d. Exchequer Bills were at 9s. 10s. prem. for the large, and
Vs. l IP. for the small; and the New Scrip I prem.

The reasons that were yesterday assigned for the improvement in
the South American market appeared this morning to lose their in-
fluence, and were considered as the mere loose assertions of some
interested individuals at Bogota. The consequence has been that
Colombian Bonds have declined from 44 to 421, and Mexican 6
per Cents. from 631 to 62i. The transactions in the other Securl.
ties of the New States were very limited. Spanish Bonds were 7i
Although the intelligence respecting the Greek cause is com-
paratively satisfactory as tar as it can be relied upon, still the Bonds
do not rally, as might have been expected, since their depression in
consequence of the report of the fall of Missolonghi. Today they
were 15., without any elasticity in the market. The business In
the Share Market has again relapsed Into the same dormant state
that we have so long had occasion to notice.
By the following extract from a letter, dated Madrid, April 24,
it should seem that the Spanish Ministry is no longer under any
apprehension of a pressing scarcity of corn. The other extract that
we give from this letter will not be very satisfactory to those per-
sons in this country who have claims on Spain. The extract from
the letter dated Corfu will be read with interest, and cannot fall to
produce general satisfaction.
" BiALIIID, APRIL 24.

" The Council of State has decreed that no licenses whatever
shall be granted for the importation of Wheat, and those already
given to be rescinded. It was expected the drought would have
compelled the issuing of permits, but the late abundant and conti-
nuing rains assure the farmer of his crop, and put an end to every
idea of importing from abroad.
,• The prevalent opinion is, that Mr. Simon Cock's mission will
rum to nothing, or next to nothing. He will be amu.ed with
all mannrr of shuffling and delay. There is not a dollar in the
Treasury to pay any one, nor will there be ; therefore what is to
be done ? There is a meeting to-day of the Duke del Infantado
and the other Dams, on the business: We shall see the result.'

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAT Ili.

[Before the LORD CAM JUSTICE and Middlesex Juke.]
REBBECK AND WIFE'I. KNIGHT.
This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, who were in as
humble sphere of life at %I auditor, against the defendant,the propri-
etor 9f the Buckinghamshire Gazette, Windsor and Eton Express,
and Reading Chroiikle, to recover compensation in damages fur an
alleged libel on the plaintiff's wife, contained in a report of what
was supposed to have taken place before the :Nlagistrates of Wind-
sor, and subsequently at the 11'indsor.Sessions, on a charge of
assault preferred by a pawn of the name of Itangecroft. On a
former occasion an action against the same defendant was tried
at Guildhall for the same libel, and a verdict fur 501. was found by
the Jury. The present action was for that part of the libel which
referral to the plaintiff's wife.
The publication of the libel was proved in the usual way by wit.
nentlt from the Stamp-office, and in aggravation, a report of the for-
mer trial at Guildhall, insetted in the defendant's paper, was also
read, together with the record of the former action, containing a
justification pleaded by the defendant.
111 r. Robinson, of Clifford's Inn, the attorney of the plaintiffs,
was called as a witne.s, to prove that the defendant had refused to
Insert any explanatory paragraph, and, in his cross.exainination,
admitted that he had brought actions against the Morning- Chroni-
cle, Englishman, Observer, British Peen, and Morning Herald,
for aupposed libels contained in reports of the former trial inserted
In these papers, both in his own name and In the names of the
plaintiffs. lie had also brought another action against the Morn-
ing Post, which had been discontinued in consequence of the pro.
prietor inserting an apology. The amount of damages and costs
which he had received in the former case was 1271. 10s.
The Jury found fur tile plaintiffs—Damages, Is.

common Jury.

ROBINSON B. PALLTHORPL.

This was an action brought to recover twenty pounds, the sum
paid for a hone, which, at the time of the purchase, was blind.
The plaintiffs a liorse.dealer and coachmaster, and the defendant
a private gentleman. The latter had represented the horse as hey.
ing no fault, with the exception of being blind ; but after the poe.
chase it was found that the hone had the megrims, and eight days
after he was sold to plaintiff he died. The lungs were opened, and
found to be in a state of suppuration.
A discarded groom of the defendant's proved that his master told
him to say the horse had no fault but that before.mentioned. This
witness also swore, that, after the horse was sold, his master said,
D—n him, I'll give him a week to live."
A horse-dealer, of the name of Best, proved, that the horse was
sent to him with similar instructions. Witness sold the horse once,
but he was returned, not being sound.
The defence set up was, that the words did not amount to a
larranty.
The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE charged the Jury. His Lord.
ship thought the conduct of the defendant had been highly im.
proper, ou account of the danger of such a horse being put into a
carriage.
Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 20/.
