......--.

The seizure of Mr. Bowring at Calais, and his
imprisonment at Boulogne are the only topics of
interest at present on the political lapis. Some of
the newspapers rail loudly on the subject, because
the usage adopted towards Mr. Bowring is not ac-
cordant to English custom—just as well might the
British Government be charged with murder, when
it sentences a Lascar to be hanged under Lord
Ellenborough's Act—because in his own country
stabbing and cutting are as common as pugilistic
rencuutres are here—the fact is, that when any man
enters a foreign country he must become amenable
to its laws—if those laws are strained or misapplied
vabassador at Paris will doubtles appeal effec-
against such injustice—but while we know
foreigner here is punished for a bread' of our
severely as though he were an Englishman,
ly cannot join in the violent condemnation of
rencli Government, until we have reason to
:hat there exists some ground of complaint on
of illegal violence or uncalled for severity.

nia, where the Greeks had assembled all their forces
round them. The situation of the barbarians was
highly critical, fur they were hourly exposed to an
attack, and their destruction Was extremely proba-
ble, for the Greeks, recollecting the bloody scenes at
Scio and Cyprus, were filled with the most deter-
wined purpose of revenge,particularly the islanders.
SAN SEBASTIAN, Ocr 14.—The evening before
last a disturbance took place, caused by an artillery-
man and a corporal. A patrol of volunteers, going
the rounds, came about ten o'clock, to La Brecha,
where they found an artilleryman, who was not a
sentinel, with his musket. He gave the usual
litary challenge—" Who goes there? " To which
the volunteer answered—" The patrol !" The ar-
tilleryman replied—" Patrol, or pot patr.:l," levell-
ed his piece at the volunter, crying—" Mucra la
Cons/due/on ! "—but fortunately it missed lire, for,
otherwise, us he was so close upon them, it is pro-
bable that some of them would have been killed.—
The 'volunteers, seeing the flash, and hearing the
seditious cry fired, and the artilleryman fell wound-
ed in the left hand, which .vas amputated yester-
day. This was followed by a commotion tunong.the
volunteers. Light persons the most noted for dis-
affection, some of whom are friars, and one a curate,
have been arrested and, sent to the castle. it is
proposed to send them to Santeinta or Corunna.—
The Ayuntamicnto have admonished several other
persons to regulate their conduct in conformity with
the constitutional system, and five strangers, three
of whom are lawyers, have been ordered to leave the
town within 48 hours.

An article from Vienna, dated October 13, says
—" Mr. Irving, the banker, and Mr. Ward, un
Officer under Government, arrived here from Lon-
don a few days ago. They set out flyr Verona the
day after to-morrow, for the purpose, it is said, of
obtaining the repayment of the sums lent to Austria
in the years 1796 and 1797."
The complaints of' the Bri tish.merchant respecting
the piracies committed upon our commerce in the
West Indies, proceed chiefly from the Underwriters, •
who are always the greatest suffirers. and were
answered by assurances in. the usual style of official
• perspicuity. At lust, about a fortnight since, four
vessels of war were dispatched to increase the squad-
run under Admiral Rowley, and which was in due
course, most pompously announced-in the ministerial
prints. In the mean time the correspondence has 1.
been goinc, on between the " Constituted A uthori-
ties." as the French have it ; and this has ended
most abruptly, and left both parties in mutual dis-
gust. The Sgeretary of' the Treasury, it appears,
had desired that two of the committee should wait
upon him at the Admiralty. This mandate gave'
great offence to the City magnates: they demurred.
ut *hut they conceived to be derrogutoey fn.m their
dignity ; And they, not in Of politeness, " de-
clined," but in very plain refused to comply, alleging
that in all interviews heretofore they (the commit-
tee) had invariably the honour of an interview with
their Lordships, and nut their servant. The result
was an order from their Lordships to the Hight lion. •
Secretary, directing him to signify to the merchants
in the City that all correspondence fix the future •
must cease.

Sir Robert Wilson landed at Dover, on NVednes-
day, from France, and arrived in town on Friday,
with Laly Wilson. The statement in an Ultra
Government paper, is totally unfounded, that he
wrote a letter to Mr. Bowring, who is still in close
confinement, and not even sutkred to have any com-
munication with his legal adviser, though tic has
received notice of trial.

MOCK AUCTIONS.
TO THE EDITOR.
SlR.—Attracted by an advertisement in the morning papers; •
Mrs. 0., a widow lady front India, attended a sale by auction 1111 •
Lime-street, on Wednesday last. When she entered the room, •
she was politely asked to a beat, and upon evincing bOone apps.
rent ignurance of such proceedings, a person who represented
himalf WI a broker recently commenced in business, made a
tender of his services to purchase any article the might fancy ; or
if she preferred it, ithesleieW be at liberty to select from his pur-
chases any furniture that would suit her, and he was siding to
depend for compensation upon her generosity.
Matters proceeded in this way mail the fall of the hammer
upon the last lot declared the sale was terminated, when Mrs. 0., •
much to her surprise, was called upon fur a deposit upon the
purchases, and upon her declaring she had none, the gentleman
who lied so politely tendered his service. iiithmied her that the
lots lie had bought were upon her account,. and it was customary
to 'alike a deposit. Mrs. 0. hesitated complying with this de- -
team', until trout the peremptory conduct of the auctioneer and
hie attetichims, she became alarmed, and having no money in her
pocket, premised to go to her agent and procure it ; to this no
objection was made. provided her sister, who had nozmnpanied
her, remained as a hostage until her due return ; this also, under
the alarm which had been excited. was agreed to, and Mrs. 0.
proceeded to her agents in Devonshire-square, procmeel a draft of
501. upon a banker,which he paid into the ',rands of the auctioneer,
and thus obtained the emancipation of her kinswoman.
No sooner had Mre. O. and her sister escaped from their impri-
sonment, for such was literally their situation, but they proceeded
to take advice as to their future proceedings, and, sunitipenied by
a friend a professional gentleman, called' at the Alaniion'llome„ •
when they were told by the clerk, Mr. nobler, by Mr Newman,'
the City Solicitor, and by the Lord Mayor, that nothing could be
done but to ende.svour to frighten the parties into a compromise,
either by a return of the money, or by permitting Mrs. 0. to call
in an appraiser, and to receive at his valuation a full equivalent
fir her deposit of 54.
In this stage of the business, I was waited upon by the frien.l
of Mrs. 0., to request I would accompany him to carry the last
proposition into effect, if no better terms could be made. To this
request I readily acceded, but solely with an intention of urging
the parties to telsgal investigation of the transaction, which ap-
peared to me nothing short of fraudulent extortion of inteney,and
ViiiiCil I believe is daily practised by a party of twindlerif who are
constantlpimpo.ing upon the pubic by mock aucti sob.
When, however, I arrived at the house, instead of being con- .
suites! upon the business, Mr. Cope, the City Marshal, cline oue
of an apartment where the parties were assembled, and congratu-
lated the gentleman who had introduced me upon the turn the
business had taken, and that lie had no doubt the whole of the
money would be obsained back.
I expressed my surprise at such a mode °feeding the businceee •
and declared Wit was their intention to compromise such a ras-
cally transaction, 1 would hale nothing more to do with it,
adding that I would myself contribute tool, towards a proseution,
and give up gratuitously both time and trouble in promoting so
desirable an object. The lady declared she had been so imulted
that she was ready to spend 50101. in legal proceedings and wile
ling to undertake any trouble that might be occasioned her..+
llowever, after much whispering between the Marshal, the sub-_
ordinate officer, the professional gentleman whom name I am not
acquainted with, the matter temiinated by Mrs 0. receiving her
money and complying with the demand made by the odleer fot
a pecuniary &Paccar • the amount of this Ido not knww, bu. the •
least 001$1 I pert:eas:din her hand was a sovereign.
My reinototiances having proved in. vain, I addressed myself
again to 0. and she prouneed, with her friend to cull wpm
me in the course of the Jay to discuss the propriety of adopting
s ate measure for exposing the -whole transaction; but that
reining,: not having been fullilled, I have to request the favour
tot' you to give this statement a place in your journal, as some-
slight cautiou to ineaperienced strangers, and with a hope thee
some peofeesional gentleman will be kind enough to favour the. •

flue RECOCINIZANce ACT.—The Chairman, in ad-
dresstite. the Grand Jury, said he thought it very material
to prosectitors, witnesses, and defendants w know, that
the act of last session, called the Recognizance
would commence its operations these sessioais, and that
it therefore became necessary for all parties, who were
bound upon their reco4lnzances, to appear to plead, it
trot 1, try, at all events upon the adjournment day.—
The consequence of any neglect in this part would
be doubtless most disagr: cable, as the it xt place retorted
to would be the Court of Exelieqin r, where the recogni-
sance,: would be v....treated, and tie defaulters ohligeil to
answer with their persons.
Edward Kelly, a seavaiiger, who resides upon the
Barrow-road, was indicted for an assault upon Edward
Ilureottth, a pansh constable, on the 1 I th of May last.
It appeared trom the evidence of the posecitior, that
as he and his biother constables, George Brown and
John Moore, Were duty, on the night of the I lilt et:.
Aley, they heard a cry of murder, from the house of the
defendant, at Paddington. lit the execution of their

Jives with the prisoner, took the glut front him, upon
, which he seized a quart bottle, threw it at II urcontb,
and severely wounded hint in the breast.
The evidence of HUMOIIIb was supported by that of
~Brown and Moore.
The defendant desired to withdraw his plea of Nut
, 4aiailty, and to plead Guilty.
The Chairman told hint he had been well advised.

shilling, gave 51. to a charity, and was dischare
William Willis, a respectable y 01111; Mall, was tried
. for an assault upon Isaac Hawkins, a constable. or put-
ting an end to a fight to a light. 1 tie Jury acquitted the
defendant.
TUESLAy, OCT. greater part of the day was
occupied with the following trial :
Samuel Johnson was indicted for assaulting John
Davis; Chas. Dzvereux and John Holten were indicted
for assaulting James Hicks; and John Davis, James
I I icks, and John Jones, were cross-indicted for assaulting
Samuel Johnson, one of the watchmen of the parish of
St. Pancras.
The Chairman summed up, and the Jury found John-
sail guilty, and acquitted Devereux, Rotten, Davis, and
nicks.
9.11a9E9 DAY, OCT. 23.--John Simple, a wharfinger,
residing near Camden Town, was indicted for assault-
:nig Robert Lewis, while the latter was ende..vouring to
protect a.boy, who was banging froui a crane over a
canal.
Robert Lewis stated, the on the 4th of September he
saw a boy thrown into a pond of water, near the canal,
and then dragged along the ground by the defendant,
who said the buy had been stealing his apples. Soon
after the defendant dragged the boy to his wharf, sod
witness heard cries of—" murder" from the buy, who

i is black in the face. Woness went to the wharf to
the boy's assistance, hut de...natant interfered to prevent
him, act' struck hint violently, at the same Milt catch-
ing hold of him.
The Jury asked whether the boy could !tat e got down
without assistance.
Witness.--" He could got. If 1 had not gone, he
would have been destroyed. His mouth was wide open,
and he wps black in the lace."
A witness described the scene as one of great cruelty
to the boy.
A boy, who was passing by, confirmed the account
of the inhumanity of the defendant.
Another witness said he saw the boy hanged, and the
prosecutor hanged, fiir saving him from Ling hanged.
James La)lield said, he was the hoy wi) stole one or
two apples. D.tlendant threw him tip to his knees in
the pots i twice, with the assistance of mother 111311.
Mr. Broderick, for the defence, stated, that tho de-
fendant was a respectable wharfiager, and had been sub-
ject to innumerable garden roblieries. He had piinished
the boy himself, rather than inflict upon him a punish-
ment with the assistance of the law, wii.ch, the learned
. counsel believed, would have sent lion as a rogue and
- vagabond to a mill.
'fire Chairman said, that such acts were going sin
upon the premises of the defendant as seemed to reqihre
the interference of strangers. The defendant [MOIL be
a very respectable man; but lie had evidently 11/Vat/lien
himself upon this occasion, and ought to be obliged to
those who would interpose. *flare was a justmeatimi
in entering the premises, upon the grounds oi huma tiny,
all uo doubt existed of tile too great severity ut the pu-
nishment iuli,cted on the boy.
Verdict—Godly.
The Chairman, in addressing the defendant, said, he
was sure the violence h-id been co tttttt Med wisbuut
thought, and sentenced him to pay a fine of wish
liberty to speak to the prosecutor.
