LONDON, MONDAY, SEPT. 3.
Three o'clock, p.m.
The intelligence which the Paris Papers of Thurs-
day contain differs widely from the accounts received
during the preceding week, with respect to the state
of affairs between the Porte and Russia. It is pro-
bable that the first account transmitted to this
country of the Divan having acceded to the Russian
Ultimatum was correct, although the Porte retracted
a portion of its concessions. The latter circumstance,
it appears, according to the despatches transmitted
from the Austrian Minister at Constantinople, to
Vienna, occasioned the sudden departure of Baron
Strogonotr from Bujutadere to Odessa, as he must
have incurred the displeasure of his Court, had he
rtmtained a moment longer after the Porte I.ad
departed from its first determination, as stated, of
accepting of the whole of the Ultimatum without
any qualiiication. In consequence of these adverse
circumstances great movements had taken place in
the Russian and Prussian armies on both sides the

P:Atth, a Council extraordinary of the Austrian Nli-

Listen, were held at the house of Count Metternich,
on the 18th of last month, and, at its rising, des-
patches were forwarded to St. Petersburgh, London,
and the Austrian Commanders in Transylvania, and
the Bannat of Temeswar. The despatches for
London, it is said, reached the Marquis of London-
derry while or u visit at Slane Castle, and are sup•
posed to be of such importance, that it will hasten
his Lordships return from Ireland, to consult with
the Cabinet on the present unexpected change in
foreign politics. It was on the Ist of July that Ba-
ron Stroganoff sailed for Odessa. The same day a
vessel arrived at the latter port from Constantinople,
which was supposed to bring despatches for Count
Wittgenstein, as that General set off next day for
the Lead-quarters of the Russian army on the Pruth.
Hostilities were expected to commence immediately
after the arrival of Baron Strogonoff at Odessa. The
Russian army at Bessarabia had been reinforced by
the 17th division, with a park of artillery. The
Ottoman troops in Moldavia and Bassarabia were
concentrating on the right bank of the Pruth. Their
force, according to one estimate, which we should
conceive to be exaggerated, is stated at 100,000
men.

An article from Corfu, of the 21st July, contains
a proclamation from the President and Senate of the
lonian Islands, recalling all the lonian subjects—
who have dared to declare themselves chiefs and
leaders of the Cephalonians and Zacynthians," and
at the head of an armed force, consisting of lonians,
to take an active part in the war of the Pelepon-
nessus, contrary to the rights of nations, and in
violation of the neutrality y.hich the lonian govern-
ment has engaged to maintain. They are com-
manded to desist from their cuterprize in the space
of fifty-one days, and threatened in case of disobe-
dience with perpetual banishment from the lonian
territory, the sequestration of their property and
yersunal prosecution as criminals, if they should
ever full into the hands of the government. As to
the other lonian subjects, who have been seduced
from their duty by these chiefs, and have acted un-
der their orders, they are ordered to return imme-
diately, if they do not wish to suffer the utmost
severity of the law.

Letters received from Edinburgh say, that Sir W.
Les and Co., the bankers there, havegiven notice
that in consequence of money being so plentiful, they
eon only allow 3 and a halt per cent. for deposits ;
and where the sums ate small, only 3 per cent.
Mr. Kinitaird the ni..gistrute died on Saturday
nio.ning last, ufier ati illness of some months.
The Huntcrian Museum at Glasgow was lately
presented by Lady Keith with a gold sovereign of the
reign of (loci n Elizabeth, two antique coins found
in a temple in the plain ot Marathon, in Greece; two
antique coins finind in the temple of Juno at Athens;
and three ancient coins from the temple of Jupiter
Olympus m Athens.

Letters from Naples say, we have bad here for
some days a true prodigy, a boy ten years of age, of
a noble Hungarian family, named Sigismund de
Praun. He recently made his appearance at Rome,
at the Theatre Argentina, when he executed in per.
fection a sonata on the violin, in which the cele-
brated Pagenini often chose to display his talent in
execution. But what is infinitely more surprising,
the young Sigismund is not less versed in literature
and the sciences than in music. After he had main-
tained on public theses in the must important ques-
tions, the Archi Gymnasi awarded him with a large
gold medal. This wonderful child was presented to
his Holiness, who, delighted with his answers, con-
ferred on him the Order of the Golden Spur, and
also nominated him a Count of the Apostolic Palace.
A respectable body of landed proprietors, as a
means of assisting their tenants, have agreed by
subscription to support an establishment of light
caravans, principally to supply the London markets
with fresh butter, &c. from the dairy farms situated
near the roads leading from Exeter and Taunton to
London. The plan is arranged to convey such goods
into market us quickly us those from Buckingham
and Cambridgeshire; which, frum their freshness,
command a superior price to those sent salted from
Devon, Dorset, and Somerset, where the value is
greatly reduced by the competition it Dutch and
other salt butter. The establishment, it is evident,
must materially benefit the dairy farms, now sadly
distressed, and become generally useful to trade by
a quicker and cheap transfer of goods.
AN IN,LBSIBLL JURYMAN !—At the Lincoln us-
sizes an indictment was preferred against William
Williams, for a riot at Stamford on the I 1 th of Nov.
last (on the occasion of the withdrawal of the hill of
pains and penalties), and breaking the windows in
house of Mr. Hunt. Mr. Denman made a powerful
address to the Jury, and insisted that there was no
riot. The Judge, in summing up, said, that no man
could upon his oath say it was not a riot; after
which, the Jury withdrew, and were absent for
about two hours, when the Foreman came into
court, and said he was desired to ask whether, if
eleven were agreed in the verdict, and only one
held out, tht:se 11 might be discharged? The Judge
said it was impossible. At the expiration of five
hours the independent and inflexible Juryman came
into Court, and said that the other 11 had agreed to
find the defendant guilty, but he could not reconcile
it to his conscience to say that Williams bad riotously
demolished Mr. Hunt's windows, the Jury, there-
fore wished to know whether the Judge would
withdraw him and appoint another in his place.—
The Judge said lie could not. The business of the
Court ended at five o'clock. At half past 8, when
the Jury sworn on this indictment had been fur ten
hours locked up, and the conscientious gentleman
declared that he would sooner eat the mortar of the
ceiling than give in, the eleven others, rather than
be carted on the circuit to Nottingham (as the law
requires in case the twelve cannot agree to return a
verdict), resigned their judgment and gave in at the
Judge's lodgings a vtrdict tar the defridant.
