troops were to drive them from the Buse
photos, and take possession of them. The Jams.
lames, their allies, to so.ew their discontent, and
intimidator the Government, proceeded to Pere, where
they killed all the nataks they met with. Thu Go-
stornment did justice prosuptty, by strangling the
most mutinous, brudatig the others on hoard
the Bert against thr islands in the Archipthigo.
This proceeding recited the most lively sensations
amongst the Janissavies, who murmur sad menace
the Government.

Intelligence from Bessarabia states, TIM a great
number of Russian troops has arrived on the lion-
t:ers of Moldavia. The divisions Orloff, Denisow,
and Pahten, ate enesiniwd on the banks of the
Pruitt, and have pushed forward their Cossacks as
far a. Skuleni. Prince A lezantler Ypsilanti has, it
is paid, been conducted under the escort of an
Au.trian Officer to the fortress of sluiikatt, so
I I usigary.
We are assured several engagements have already
taken place between the advanced posts on the
banks of the Pruth.
ODESSA, JULY 44.

We are anxious to learn the effect of the last
dispatches front Russia to the Porte. Accord-
ing a letter of the 14th July, the Divan wishes
to accept the mediation of England and Austria,
and give the satisfaction required by our Court.
But it is doubtful whether the Turkish Government
has power to take such a step, on account of the
fanaticism of the people, and the avidity for plunder
which animates the troops from Asia, The restora-
tion of the churches will be a matter of great dif-
ficulty. Should the Sultan succeed in restraining
the people, peace will be maintained notwithstand-
ing all that has happened.
Amongst the late acts of cruelty of which newt
has reached us from Constantinople, the conduct
of the Jews, in one instance, is conspicuous :
t‘ When hundreds of Greek virgius were aban-
shined to the brutality of the Turks, in the bazar
at Constantinople, the Jews purchased about
twenty, who had survived the ill treatment of those
lbarbariuna, and carried them into Asia. There
the Jew, keep them, and demand immense ransoms
from their emigrant parents, threatening to give
them up again to the brutality of the Turks, should
the ransom not arrive on an appointed day.

LON DON,
THURSDAY, AUGUST 43, 1841.

.
Paris Pipers of the civil' instant arrived at a late
bout last night. They contain the following intel-
ligence respecting Turkey :

lIVCZAW• (Rue%owls♦), JULY 28.
TXTRACT /RON ♦ PIREVATIL LLIKER.

Our neighbours the Muldasiana are is great aaxiety ;
they preteud that the Russia. armies increase iu suds a
manner as to give reason to fear war.

General Count Wittgenstein has arrived at Yisthenow ;
he bas Ave divisions in that province, and he expects four
others. Two regiments of Helarists are going to be formed
—.phis needs contirmatnan.)—The regular troops have
quitted the Pruth, and trlirrd some leagues; the banks of
that river are guarded by Cossacks. The Turks have also
foisted a cordon on the right bank.

It is said that some Russians hare arrested some Turkish
spies at tbe passage of the Pruitt: they are Moldavian.
and Jews. They were sent by hamar Paella to Oasis
iuformation of the strewth of the Roasters [if the Rus-
sian fortes were considerable, N. de Wittgenstels would
have let these spies see every thing, aad sent them back
to Juana Paella. Thus the writer of the private letter
diseredits his former assertions).
A Turkish Colonel, withl,7oo Turks, coming from Follls-
than, passed by the Austrian Custom-house at Brajersb the
23th July, towards Sistine, whim 140 Hetarists were posted:
they retreated to the Convent, which is sisetwoaded with
Meting walls. The Turks Art Are to the neighbouring (wooden)
houses, aad attacked, hut were ►epulsed several times with
luau. They then began lit undermine the walls, and entered
by the breaches. The Helarims entrenched themselves in the
church, and the Turk+ retii jog in the trilling to Follisekaa,
the Hela►ista took the opportunity and retired without arms
into the Austrian ter, itury. On the 26th July 900 Hetatists
came to the Gloving of Stettin', and said 3,000 sea were
going to assemble there, to opera themselves a way to Bessa-
rabia, under Colonel Jordski : 6,000 Turks were marching
against them. Oa the 23th the Turks lust 70 we and the
Hetarists IV. The Hetarists taken prisoners were most bar-
barously treated. The Turks cut off an arm or a foot of
some, roasted them, and made them eat their own flesh!
The cruelties of the lspraouicks (Chiefs of Districts) exceed
all conception.—[But the correspoadent forgets to say that
these Ispraonicks in Moldavia and Wallarhia arc Greeks ur
oatires.]—(Joernal du Debuts, August 20.)

The Jaunted de Paris coutaius the same article, in Nearly
the same terms, ender the head of Vienna, August 9.
The Comfits:rim& (under Augsburg, 141 h August) says,
the five Russian divisions in Bessarabia amount to 60,000
men. The Turks affirm they •Iso bare 60,000 men in Mol-
davia, but that it is probable they have not 30,000, ill-armed,
mounted, and clothed, and nut equal to contend with half
their number of Russians.

In an article from Madrid of the 9th (in the Jointed des
Debate), it is stated that the famous Tint Pasha Alma, owe
of the c►ief actors in the mas•ac►es at Cathie on the 10th
Nardi, 1890, has been executed. Assassinations bare re-
commenced at Saragossa with more fury than ewer.

We have taken the most anxious care to furnish
our readers from day to day with correct reports of
the proceedings b. fore the Coroner and his Deputy
in the inquiries mower:ling the unhappy circum-
stances which led to the deaths of RICHARD
HONRY and GEORGI Fitancts. To this duty we
have confined ourselves, conceiving thet nothing
could be more indecorous thou to peso any mu-
stiest's upon evidence adduced in eases of such •
nature before the investigation had come to
a conclusion. We regret, however, to find that the
same reserve has not been practised by all of our
contemp►ofuries. but !hit attempts have been made
by certain portions of the public press to pervert
the Inquests froze► their legitimate purpose of dis-
tributive justice into occas►ons for the indulgence
of politicid animosities. We lament as siuterely as
any one the distressing eseitts which gave rise to the
Wel quarrel at Cumberland-gate—we deplore as
deeply the loss of lives that was there occasioned,
but we confide in the laws of the country, and feel
no doubt that upon a subject so solemn the truth
will be ascertained, and justice impartially execut-
ed. Of this too we are satisfied, that it is nut by a
prenniture, and, in 11010 e instances, an intemperate
agitation of tl►e facts now in issue, the muse of

truth and of justice eat be promoted. It apt by
angry charges std no less boteeertreeriariostioos
that the powers of Government, the discretion of
Ministers, the employment of troops, the right of
the people to batter them with stones sod brick-
bats, end of the troops to retort with pistols and
sabres, can ever be satisfactorily determined. These
see solemn questions which will come in due time
before the tribunals of our country, and no man
who entertains any respect for the honour and wis-
dom of these tribunals will endeavour, by pas-
sionate invectives, to anticipate their decisions, or to
prejedice the minds of the people from whom the
Juries are to be selected for the eventual determina-
tion of such weighty matters.
We do not consider that we depart from the rule
we have hitherto pursued, in saying, that the Mi-
nisters of the Crown ought to lament deeply and
seriously their obstinate refusal to gratify the wishes
of the people by permitting the QUEEN'S funeral
procession to pass through the City. Their strict
right to prescribe whatever route they may think
proper for the procession cannot be questioned;
their wisdom, however, ought to have suggested to
them the danger of exercising their rights in oppo-
sition to the expressed wishes of an immense mul-
titude of resolute people. The fatal consequences
of she commands issued by the Ministers upon this
subject ought, therefore, in a moral point of view,
to be ascribed altogether to the Ministers them-
selves, and not to the soldiers, who were placed its
situations which must of necessity have led to evil
revoke. A quarrel between the troops and the
multitude ought to have been foreseen ; the troops,
indeed, were originally dispatched towards Ken-
sington in contemplation of such an event, for they
were sent expressly for the purpose of dispersing
the crowd, who resisted the prescribed progress of the
royal body, and those who employed such means
of dissipating the obstruction, raised by the people
ought to have shuddered at the effects which must
have necessarily followed. It is mid that of the
soldiers engaged in the service of the Ministers on
that day about thirty or forty were severely wound-
ed by stones and brickbats. If it be true that not
so minty of the people were wounded, the compa-
rative view of the casualties would speak favourably
for the forbearance of the military.
Some censure lies been thrown upon Sir ROBERT
BAKES for having at length permitted the proces-
sion to enter the City, and it has been said that he
ought at any risk have obeyed the orders given to
him, and have employed the military force which
was at his disposal in cutting his way through
every obstacle. It is, we think, very probable
that Sir ROBERT BARER did obey the orders given
to him, for a constant comtaunication was main-
tained during the day between him and the Home
Office, and nothing is more likely than that the
Ministers, seeing the perseverance of the people,
and convinced at length of their own error in so
long resisting the wishes of the multitude, in-
structed Sir ROBERT BAKER to yield to the pres-
sure as he found it necessary, and to permit the
procession to bend towards the City. But were
this supposition not supported by the fact, we
shoeld say that Sir ROI:MIT BARER exercised a
sound discretiou in yielding to circumstances, cud
in neglecting orders which were likely to be.
come more deeply stained with blood. Those
who exclaim against his considerate humanity
seem to hold the lives and limbs of their fellow-
creatures at very little value. The execution of an
obstinate and foolish order weighs more heavily in
their minds than the interruption of the public
prime, the loss of human life, and the shock which
society must receive from the extravagant exer-
cise of military power. The fetal circumstances
which had already disgraced the Government
must have taught him the necessity of mak-
ing guy sacrifice of personal feelings to prevent
the recurrence of so dreadful an outrage, and
he judged well fur the honour of the Crown, the
dignity of the civil power, the safety of the metro-
polis, sod the respect that was due to the inanimate
remains of the Queen of ENGLAND, to yield in a
contest where nothing could be gained by ;terse-
vetauce but bloodshed and disgrace.

There will be three additional Preventive Sta-
tions in the Isle of Wight, for more effectually de-
trethig smuggling on that coast, to which will he
attached three officers and thirty-three men.
Among the rumours on the Continent respecting
Turkey, it is said that liar Allied Powers have de-
termined to revive the Greek Empire, end to re-
place on the throne of Constantinople the descend-
ant of the Emperors of the East, Prince ALCMS DI
COMMONS, who is now hiring et Novena, sod
tla►t overtures have been oaade to him for that
purpose.

The lost few days of warm weather have caused
considerable bustle iu the harvest fields, and an.
usher fortnight, should the weather continue fine,
will greatly decrease the quantity of standing corn.

The Dumbly of grain was larger at Norwich
market on Saturday than the preceding week, uud
on account of fine weather rather lower prices were
submitted to.—There was a considerable show of
Scots and Homebred*, as well us lambs, &c. in
the pans. Prices continue very low, and sales slow.
Saturday night the shop of Mr. J. Ilom.owAY,
saddler, In Scotland-yard, was broke open and
robbed of saddle., gig Woes., bridles, martindalet,
stirrup-irons, horse-cloths, chaise, and other whips,
&c. It is supposed the villains must have had two
coaches to hove carried otT their booty.
