would not swerve from the truth against his corn-
rades, and he says—" The men went out on the 14th,
wider the orders of the civil power. I cautioned them
of Mat fact. It is the constant rule to inform the
men, when they go out under the civil power, to act by
the direction of that power, and by its orders alone."
Now, upon these conclusive sentences, we should
consider it established that the Life Guards were
wrong—syllogistically thus—the Life Guards were
cautioned that " they were to act by the directions
of the Civil Power, and by its orders alone"—the
Life Guards did cut down and fire upon the people
without receiving an order so to do front the Civil
Power—ergo--the Life Guards acted unjustifiably,
and if the parties can be identified they ought to be
punished—but every impediment has been thrown
in the way of such identification. We therefore
rejoice that in one of the two instances a general
verdict of " Wilful Murder against a Life Guards-
man unknown to us Jurors," has been returned;
and hereafter, without doubt, conviction will over-
tax the gui!•y. In the remaining instance a simi-
lar verdict may be preferable to a specific one—there,
the party has been pointed out; he will ogain
be pointed out, and he will not, we fervently hope,
escape.

His Majesty's reception in Ireland has been, en-
thusiastic—and he appears to be pleased at it—he

has been almost without a military escort, and the
people have been gratified at that. —Why, we would
ask, is not the same confidence placed by Ministers
in the English—but that they fear the distortion
they have given to the feelings of the King should
be dune away—they have deceived liiin as to the

loyalty of his people, and they are guilty of every
aggression against them to give posthumous verity
to their lying report. An English King must be
♦ery bad indeed to need soldiers to guard him from
his people, and his present Majesty is libelled by the
representation of such necessity.

The Messiah, who was lately announced with
so much pomp to have arrived in Greece, is no other
than Joseph Buonaparte, the Ex-King of Spain,
who has quitted America, accompanied by Lefebre
Desnouettes, the brothers of Lallemands, and other
French officers, for the purpose of offering their
services to the Greeks. These officers would be a
valuable acquisition, but as to Joseph himself, he
has no talent whatever for military enterprise.—
According to accounts from Leghorn, of the 6th
instant, the Isles of the Archipelago continue suc-
cessively to shake off the Turkish yoke. At Candle
the Turks have been compelled to surrender two
forts to the Greeks, who have established an Admi-
ralty Council in the Island of Hydra, composed of
experienced mariners, who direct all the naval ope-
rations in that quarter. Notwithstanding the Con-
gress which it is said is to assemble of the Ministers of
the Allied Powers, to deliberate on important affairs
relative to the East of Europe, yet we find the
Austrian army concentrating on the frontiers of the
Ottoman Empire, receives reinforcements daily.—
Magazines are establishing in Hungary, and the ex-
portation of grain has been prohibited in Bohemia.
It is even rumoured that a conflict has taken place
between the advanced guards of the Russian and Ot- '
toman forces on the I'urth. The Russian troops
amount at this moment to the alarming number of
91,000 men, exclusively of the colonization forces
and the permanent army of Siberia. This is a gi-
gantic force, and cannot be viewed without alarm by
the Powers of Europe. The Emperor Alexander
has evidently in view to instil a martial spirit into
the entire population of Russia, and therefore we
have cause to suspect that his object is aggrandize-
ment whenever op,ortunity offers.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday have arrived ;
their contents are unimportant. The following are
extracts:—

°Davi*, JULY 94.—We wait with the most lively
im-
patience the neat news foam Constantinopli. A letter from
this Capital, dated the 141ItufJuly observes, that the Divan
is disposed to accept the mediutiou of Austria and Logland,

and give to Russia the satisfaction which she demands. But
those who know the fanaticism of the Turkish people and
the weakness of the Government, will, with difficulty, believe
that the Grand Seignnr can succeed in sending the Asiatic
ravages home without booty, or prevail upon the inhabitants
of this Capital quietly to behold the rebuilding of Christian
churches. If the Sultan has authority to calm his irritated
soldiers and people, peace nviy be preserved.
Pusan, JULY 27.—The Russian troops, who have been
long waiting upon the shores of the Dc inn fur orders to
march, we learn (ruin good authority, have at leueth received
them, and they are directing their match to the south eastern
frontier of the empire. They will,undoubtedly,bereplaced
frum the interior.

AUG. 12.-.-Letters from Dantzic, which arrived
yesterday, announce that some bloody and tumultuous
scenes have taken place between the Christians and the Jews.
and that neittary inteference has been necessary.
M 4 DRIO, AUG. 13.—The Miscellanea has published ex.
tracts from the proceedings instituted against the authors of
the massacres in Cadiz, on the fatal 100 of Hatch last year.

three Generals and the sup. rior (Aim are strictly guarded.
The people wait with gnat impatience for jostice.—Tlke

The Journal de Paris eontains the following cu-
rious piece of intelligence:—" We have already
stated that a report prevails in London that George
IV. will contract, after a few months, a new mar-
riage. Some pretend that it will be with the sister
of Prince Esterhazy; others say the sister of Prince
Leopold his Majesty's son-in-law."
The remains of her late Majesty have reached
Cuxhaven. Early on Sunday morning last the
funeral squadron, consisting of his Majesty's ship
Glasgow, with the Royal corpse on board, accom-
panied by the Tyne, the Rosario, the Wye, and the
Gannett, appeared off that port. They had not been
brought to an anchor when the mail left Cuxhaven ;
but as the wind was then blowing from the eastward,
it was supposed that it would be necessary to moor
the vessels, and that some days might elapse before the
fleet, on account of the prevalence of easterly winds,
could proceed up the Elbe as far as Stadt, the place
fixed upon for the disembarkation.
At a dinner given by his Majesty in the Park of
Dublin, on the 15th inst. the Dutch Ambassador.
Baron Fagel, was present. He was, according to
the custom of his Court, decorated with some
orange ornament. On his Majesty's observing the
decoration, he is reported to have said to the Am-
bassador—" My dear Baron, this is a very excellent
colour in the Netherlands, but in this country it
does not do so well; I pray you lay it aside fur my
sake."

On the day of his Majesty's entry into Dublin, a
Dragoon, pressing on the people at the Circular,
road, near Eccles-street, a nobleman of high dis-
tinction, from his carriage, reprimanded him severe-
ly, stating that " the King would be very angry if
he had seen the humblest of his people ill-used ;"
and ordered him forthwith to desist.

Quebec papers to the the Roth ult. arrived on
Friday. Some inconvenience to the merchants of
Canada appears likely to arise from the too limited
period allowed for c►rrying into operation the new
timber act, particularly as regards that portion of
it relating to the transit of American timber through
the province. Property in timber to a great value
from Lake Champlain was then in the Canada mar-
ket, contracted and paid fir on British account last
year, and which arrived in Canada previous to the
passing of the law. Most of the surplus value of
this timber was on account of the merchants of Lake
Champlain and other places, and intended, in the
usual way, as a remittance to pay their Canada
debts. Little doubt was, however, entertained by
the commercial interest of Quebec, that, on a pro- '
per representation of the ease being made to the
British Ministry, those goods will be allowed to be
taken to England on the same footing as American
property actually deposited in Quebec previous to
the 25th of March last. The Quebec Gazelle, in
commenting on the possible disappointment of this
expectation, observes with a ftecduin rather remark-
able fir a paper under the immediate control of the
Government, that it would arise from there being
" no accredited agent to Parliament to represent the
interests of the country." A census of the city of
Montreal this season fixes the number of inhabitants
at 30,000.

The preparations making at Wynnstay by Sir
W. W. Wynn, for the reception of his Majesty, are
of the most splendid order. Cooks, confectioners,
and mechanics, in great numbers, have left town to
assist in the preparation.
The Dipatch transport is arrived from Alexan-
dria; it has un board several colossal pieeLs of anti-
quity, discovered by Mr. Belzoni in Egypt.—Also
arrived the lung expected sarcophagus ut' alabaster
found in the Egyptian tomb at Thebes. This rare
piece of antiquity is now at Deptford : it was
brought over by a Turkish frigate.
