LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 1, 1824.

The French paper; of Friday and Saturday reached our
Office List nki,ht. The bat accounts from Rome state that
the Sovereigi Pontiff, who had been so ill, was recovering
his health ; but Once of the Cardinals, S...veroli, Rusconi,
and Fahrizzio Rollo, were in extreme danger. The sacred
i college has, latterly, been thinning fast ; a new promotion
was cxpectel to be made about the middle of Lent.
l'aez de la Cadrna, the new Ambassador frrm Spain to this
cot.ntry, had arrived at Paris, and mly therefore be soon
expected here. The Etaile says it has received the Smyrna
paper of the Turks, the Spertateor Orirntal, of the 15th of
' January, and that it contradicts the landing of the Greeks
at Selo and Alitylene, and denies also the capture of
Caristo, which the celebrated Odysseus was stated to have
taken • by storm on the 12th of December: the Smyrna
journal no doubt will deny, if possible, every successful
achievement of the (:reeks ; falsehood and defamation have
marked this journal for the last Ilirm years, whenever the
Greek cause has been alluded to. The statements in the
French paper, detailing the movements of the Greek
chiefs, wit'. be found below. No misrepresentation can
disguise the progress they arc making. The plague is
raging among their infatuated enemies, and doing the
dreadful work of annihilation more widely than the
, sword. Odysseus is said to be before Caristo, where this
terrible enemy was pent up in full havoc, and eight !peta-
-1 •
riot vessels blockaded Negropont. Patna; the Smyrna
paper asserts, was fully provisioned, and, with Cora and
Malin, safe from capture. But the Greeka have now got
a park of artillery, anti the Turkish holds will soon fall
b:fore their tile. and the banner of the Prophet disappear
front their walls. 31inziacky, the Russian diplomatist,
after a slow progress, so as to watch the course of events.
had arrived at the Turkish capital on the 17th. Ile will
find it difficult to conciliate the jealousies of the Divan,
while the Russian hordes hover on Bessarabia, menacing!
the frontiers. The Turkish Reis Effiruli was, it appears,
dangerously ill, and the Sublime Sultan hail deputed'
his chief physician, with the menace of the bow-1
string in case of failure, to restore his Ilinister to
health. This is summary method of cure; but the
" brother of the sun and moon" deals in no h elf-measures:
threats, however, do not arrest the career of the Christians ;
their expeclitions are all successful, and their cause is daily

strengthening, and advancing fast to the glorious column-
nation, at which, through their unparalleled eff.wts, it
must now finally arrive.

Letters from Rome of the 14th eniifirm what is said in the Mario
of the preceding day, on the amelioration of the !'cape's health. His
Holiness, however, still kept his bed, and was unable to go to the
Vatican, an he intended. On the 14th Cardinal Seven.li had re-
lapsed to such a degret, the: his recovery Was deTaired of; he was
said to be dying. Cardinals It tisconi and Fabei;zio Run are still
in danger. Iler Majesty the Duchess of Lucca received the viwi-
cum on the 11th, and it was expectid that news would soon ar-
rive of her death, caused by water in the chest. It in said that his
Holiness will make a proutufion of Cardinals about the middle of
Lent.

M. Paez de laCadena, Minister Plenipotentiary front the Court of
Spain to his Majemy the King of Great Itrilain, has arrived a:1

FRANKFORT. FEW. 22.

We have just received the 0, iralwl &MO. wr of the 15:h Janu-
ary. It contradicts the new. of the landing of the Greeks at trio,
as well as that of a landing at Mitylene, and lastly that of the
taking of Carlon, which Odysseus was stated to have taken by st.rtn
on the 1:1th D.censber.

Tixo, DEC. 22.

Odysseus is before Caristo, with 2,f.00 soldiers. Omar
who commanded it, has quitted it, taring a sufficient runtber of
men to defend it. Having been simile I'acha of Negroptnt, he is
marching against Delyanopulo, in Attica. As the plague rages in
the fortress of Carlota, Odysseus has autse.l n trench to be dug
round it, to endeavour to blow it up. Eight Ipaariot vessels block.

by an officer of the foreign department. This compliment was

of his displeasure (that is to say on rain of death). to cure the
Minister without delay. The ph) sician is in emuiternat ion.

Letters from Saloniehi of the 3lst of January say, that Captain
lhamante has lauded for the 3d time at Cassandra, with 3,01.10 men ;
he has cot to pieces WO Turks, and r. turned to V01.,t with immense
booty.

IFront the Os irutal Spectator.
SMYRNA, JAN. 9.

The Christmas holidays have passed over in the most peaceable
manner, and the good order which the police has maintained fur
this year past, gets us the hope flirt it will nut be again dis-
turbed either here or in the villages and towns of the interior.
Letters from Alexandria of the 3d December say, that a new ex-
pedition against Crete was preparing. It was to consist of WOO
men, with 10 ships of war, and four transports, laden with provi-
sions. The arrival of such a tome in the island must greatly in-
crease the distress of the flreeks. Perfect tranquillity prevailed at
Chime, where the Greeks and the Mussulmen continue to live on
gaol tams. Every measure is adopted to prevent surprise. Sen-
t iris are stationed night and day on the eminences, and a new bat.
tery is erecting to cover the town. The accounts from Hydra state
the people to be discontented, and say that most of the vessels
are laid up for want of niters to equip them. From Ipsara the ac-
counts ore of a very different character. The people are in the
highest spirits ; all their vessels were gone to Patios, the reduction
of which place is the grand object, as it is expected to be fol-
lowed by the deliverance of the whole of the Mores from the Tur-
kish power. Eight Turks, taken by the Ipsariots on their expedi.
doe to Vourla, have been brought with their vessels to !warm
where they are treated leith wildness. —Frank/bre Papers, Feb. 2i.

The following Bayonne letter will be read with some
interest: it talks of an vilimited amnesty, through French
influence, being signed at Madrid. This would be a hard
task on the bigoted Ferdinand. Spain is any thing but
tranquil under tyranny. This letter says that Oviedo was
in the hands of the Constitutionalists, and all Gallicia in
insurrection. What else could be cxpcctrd from the out-
rageous oppression let loose on that country and its devoted
people
flavossE. Frs. 21.

We have news from Madrid of the lath. It is very certain that
the French Anthassiolor has oppo‘ed the publication of the Am- I
nasty. This act contained classifications which seemed likely to
lead to prosecutions rather than to establish union and concord in
the nation. As it generally happers that the intended measures of
Government do not remain secret, it was known that orders were to
be sent to die principal authorities in the provinces, to draw up
lists of the names of all individuals included under the several
heads of the decree. It is easy to see that such measures were
calculated to serve the passions of private persons ; the article
relative to secret societies, in particular, was of such a nature
that every individual might be persecuted, for when suspicion,
or information, unsupported by proof. is admitted, no one. howevcr
innocent, can be safe. It cannot be doubted that 500.0110 persons
have openly declared in favour of the Constitution, and, with the
addition of their family connexions, may make a fourth part of the
population of Spain. It seems, however, that the observetions of
M. de Talaru have been listened to; and, if we may confide in the
accuracy of a letter from Bricossel, Paymaster-General of the army,
a full and entire amnesty, without any restriction. is on the point of
being signed. The Paymaster waits only for this to return to
Bayonne, where his office will remain during the occupation. Ge-
neral Sentpere, on whom the l'alenciani fired their cannon while they
sent a deputation to the French, arrived on the Irah inst. at Madrid,
whither he is said to have been summoned by the Government
to give an account of the extraordinary contribution which he
levied during the siege of Valencia, and which would have sufficed
to maintain an army of 15,000 men for six months. General f'hau•
bon, who took one of the forts of Tortosa by aid of the commaions
he had in the place, has also been at Madrid for about a week fur a
similar purpose. It is supposed that these Generals will lilad nit ans
to justify thenischwa. It isweponed that Oviedo is in die bands of
the Constitutionalists, and that Gallicia is in insurrection against
absolute power. The French Ambassador and Count Itourniont
are supposed not to be on good terms together; they sometimes
have no communication with each other for several days. General
Bourmont wishes to be :nadir Marshal of France.

SWITZEULAND, FEB. 17.

The King of Spain has ordered the remains Of the Swiss regi-
ments to be re-organised, rind placcd again on the same footing as
they were on the 7th March, Int/. It is also desired to raise a
regiment of Swiss guards.

The Petition in Mr. Charles Flint's case, which was
withdraws, after considerable discussion, on Friday evening,
we are compelled by want of space to postpone till to-
morrow ; we shall then give it entire, and not in substance,
as we had at tint intended,—that Mr. Chetwynd, whose
'inert-ill, we will take for granted, may be gratified in his
earnest wish that it should be "fully read." his appeal
to his sutroesedin,tr friends on the occasion was quite 'Pa-
thetic : " he wished every charge to be separately entered
into ; he would la cas the House to go through every sentence ;
■nd if dare were die slightest grounds for anyone of the
charges contained in it, he would implore Me Mese to
pass the most severe animadversions on him," and so on.
This affec'ing address, enough to make a stone speak, in-
stantly brought the Attpprary-Geserat on his legs. After a
long preamble, in the way of prefaez—not of proof, for it
avoided all the facts of the case —he came to a conclusion

exactly uppusite to the expressed wish of his client. So
overpowering is the at-rise of duty in a lawyer's mind!
Ile could not concede to his entreaty that the yeti-

'lion should be read. With the moving torn hardly out
of his ear, in which the Member for Stafford had
implored ths... House to go through every menu nee, not
a single sec' .nee would he consent to hear. What a *ulna
,/or M,. . :roles--the one ! What a model fur At torney-
Gener . the otlif

" I nor," said the Learned Advocate, " I hope the
House wi:l not sut!..r itself to be misled by hearing only
an ex-parle sial•mral. for I can assure them that when the
facts ar shied, to will find the conduct of my Hon.
and Lea, nsl Fr'erd to be all that cou:d be desired."
It is rather extraidMaty, that in the teeth of his own
entreaty he should the House la laws anlfs an c---ixtrle
,falentu.l; to heatnature to the rtitioa ua the part of
Mr. Chetwynd, wh;: • he strenuously and successfully ap-
rased the reinfia.•( die on the part of Mr.
Flint. Ile assures tir• House, that when the.filels are staled,
his lion. and L. ain.ll Friend will come out from the in-
quiry with his ermine of office unspotted. He will be
proved to be all they could d< sire. But the Learned
lientleman ptovid. s before-hand, that the facts Ann nal
he slated. Ile talks triumphantly of the splendor with
which his client's reputation will come out of the refiner's •
fire; but he takes special care that it shall not pass
the test.

• " If I oppose," says he, " the bringing up of th.• peti-
tion, I do so because the petition states what is untrue—
; because it contains calumnies and aspersions against an
Honourable Member of this (louse and a Magistrate."
(Loud cheers from the Ministerial Benches.)
IF, instead of cheering the Learned Member, they had
asked him how the House were to inform themselves that
the petition stated what u•es untrue, if they apposed its
being r reeierd, and rchised to hear it reeit,.it would hate
been ch more to the purpose. Nor do we see how he
could have eluded the question. We should say, that,
chatter das Mr. Chetwynd has be-n, to have the petition,
containing these charges and alining to verify them upon'
oath, uitSdroten, is not the acquittal with which a man.
conscious that the charges were fa'se, should be satisfied.
It is not, in our opinion, an acquittal that, omit r the dr-
, cumstancs, as a•Member of Parliament, he could honour-
ably receive. His self-respect, his rank in society, his
character as a Magistrate, his feelings as a man. should
have mad.• him.ditslain to take reAlge in the pancetyr'cs
a party. To do Ministers justice—for the Chancellor of
the Exchequer and Mr." Canning both spoke on the occa-
sion—they were not very lavish of their praise ; they spoke
as vindicating one whom they could have wished had made
it less necessary to defend hint. This threw the weight of
protection more strongly on th•e A ttorney-11. meal ;
and the raw material must be bad indetsl, out of which
he cannot spin a defence in same shape or other.
In the present case, scorning the assistance of truth and
fact, he relied on the resourc.•s of his own rich invention ;
a spring, that, when all others are dry, never fails. But
Westminster-ball and the House of Commons are very
different theatres. As an Advocate—and there is no better—
his client has, perhaps, a claim to all his power of maeage-
ment and and misrepresentation, but as a Walther or Par-
liament, the public have a claim upon his integrity, and
have a right to demand that, in that House, he should
espouse the cause of truth and the interests of justic
Because if the protective spirit of the Constitution is to
be kept rip, it is in tout House its principles must be recog-
nized and recorded. If the people of England are net
to be hire-after at the mercy of the county magistrates ;
if they are not to be brought under the capricious and
usurped dominion of Justices of the Peace ; if they are not
hereafter to be sentenced without cause, or to suffer with-
out appeal—then has the Attorney-IGene•ral, in his plan•
in Parliament, a different duty to perform from that of
screening official delinquency, or of smothering the ap-
peal that prays redress against it.

%Ft; hare no toom fur a (Lulled discustion of his mis-
statements, but there arc two leading points which we
must not permit to pass without putting the facts before
the public precis..ly as they stand, and can be supported by
unexceptionable and aermu testimony.
" And now," says the Attorney-Gmeral, " as to the
h,:rdship which the petitioner alleges he endured from a
sentence of three months hard labour at the tread-mill.
Why, the fact is, he was smtmeed to three months hard
labour, but upon his representing that his health was such
as not to allow him to work at the he was not work-
ed at it for more than fire hours. (Loud cries of " Hear,
hear," from the Ministerial benches.)
" Mr. Denman—Do you mean altogether?
" The A ttorney-General—Altogether,--upon his repre-
senting that his constitution unfitted him to work at the
tread-wh:el. For a polion of his confinement he was put
to spinning wool, and for the rental ldrr of his imprison-
ment he did nothing ; he was itllc."

In the first place, there was no just ground for charging
Mr. C. Flint with a riot, nor any legal warranty for passing
upon him any simtence at all. Now to the fact. Ile was
stript of his own clothes immediately on his arrival at the
prison ; and everything he had was taken from him, even
to the money in his pockets. He was then compelled to put
on the gaol dress, consisting of a black and purple jacket,
waistcoat, and truwsers, of the coarsest kind ; rou,;11, coarse,
party-coloured worsted stockings, a cap, and heavy wooden
clogs. The very next day (Saturday), he was put to
work with the felons repos the tread-mitt, and worked, as the
rest, the whale they, and was kept to the gaol allowance,—
water-gruel morning and night ; potatoes and salt, with dry
bread, to dinner. On Monday be was put wain on Mw
head-mill ; but after working an hour. was fetched away
by Palmer, and taken to the Weavers Yard, where, with
criminals of the very worst description, he was put to turn-I
ing a large rui.t.t0•5111.1., for the scow ing of dirty ban-
kets and foul linen, which was turned by four prisoners at
a time. At this labour, accompanied with circumstances too
offensive to detail, he was kept for nearly two whole weeks.
When it was intimated to biln, on the Saturday, that he
was to be again put upon the tread-mill, be represaite el to
Mr. Cut:MY:in pen/en/oily, who attended the gaol out that
day at visiting magistrate, the severe treatment be under-
went, and Orr representing that his constitution was daily
breaking under 1:, entreated that he might not be again put
upon the tread-wheel. Mr. Uhetwynel inquired of the task-
master " to what labour Mr. Flint had be: n put ?" who I
told him " to the fulling-mill," to which Mr. ( betwyud's
reply was, " That is not hoed labour :" and afterwards went
away. Sunday intervened. On the Monday Mr. Flint
was ordered go volt the tread-mill, which he refused to,
do, saying it was utterly impossible, for he had neither
health nor strength to support it. l'pon this he was ordered,
into the prison yard, to break Ames, and an iron hammer
and other materials were supplied to him far the purpose—
and this in the month of November ! Tills disgraceful
labour he likewise r,-,7itstxl, on the same pounds as before,'
and require:l that the surgeons of the prison (for Mr.
11 awthorn, the physician to the family, had been peremp-
torily refused permission to visit him) !night he sent fur,
to examine and report upon the state of his health. When
he complained to Mr. Brutton (the gaoler) of being put to •
break stones, when he must know his connexions and his

pro:•te:i.; onal prospects, his reply to him was, "Sir, we Make
no tii. unction li.re betweeu lawyers and beicAfoyme
When the prison surgeons arrived, and attended on Mr.
Charles Flint, they could not help reporting that his health
was not such as tope • him to be put either to the labour
of the tread-mill or of stone-breaking. Ile was, in conse-
quence of this report, consigned to the wearisome labour of
carding and spinning, from the time he got up till he went
to bed ; and at this lie was k, pt, without intermission, till
the eery hurt day if his impri.wtonie
flow, arter this, stands the Ateorney-General's state-
ment? What impression must this produce upon the
public mind, and what inferences will be drawn as to the
reiianey to be placed upon the veracity of those who would
heap praise and humor on Mr. Clietwynd ? This is beg
one fact. We are plevented by want of room from gait.'

The cas. r of Mr. Char', s Flint and his brother will ex-
emplify its afflictive consequences. There is no stretch of
despotism to which it may not be made subservient. it is
utterly incompatible with the security of public liberty,
and is in league against the best inttrvsts of the people.
Lider the overtime of Ws power, open as it is, to abuses of
the worst kind, the privily. es of the English constitution are
a dead !cure, and the rights of the subject an empty name.

country was absent: not a Peer, a gentleman of fortune,
or a well-meaning man in middle life, would ideliti!y him-
with the vulgar violence and vituperation of the two

temperate crations, and applaud them. We know no

of York, ohe n he said " be bad yet to learn that bun.

threats," was universally felt and ackm ovrledgma in its
truth and justice. The calmness and compound of that
knot, called " an Association," may also be learned from
the printed remarks of Mr. O'Gorman, the respectable Sr-
cralary of the Irish Catholic*, at the same Meeting:—" Mr.

The fact is, the vanity and vio!( nce of one man, have for
rars been the bane of the Catholic close; he deals eter-
nally in personal vituperation and abuse; his quarrel with
Mr. Peel, in which lie cut so ehientruns a figure, anti about
whom he has not dared to mouth a word since, strung from
that source. Mr. Shell—who now talks, in place cf writing

Plunk( tt, whom he lauded so lone, gave him roaming—was

up his weapons of abuse ;—antl these are the nwn who
thrust themselves forward as the organs of the Catlielie
body, and otter sentiments and resolutions the millions of
Ireland utterly disclaim. We are persuaded that the vitupe-
ration of Mr. O'Connell, in perticuiar, has made and cot .
