TURKEY .11.11 L.

The ullinuttum of the Russian Government was
delivered to the Porte on the 18th, and ten days were
allowed for a definitive answer. It is stated from a
quarter of considerable authority, that the terms arc
not so much to be objected to, as the manner in
whien they %%ere dictated. The Turks are very in-

dignant at the short period allowed them fir deter-
mining, but are particularly so at the ultimatum
being accompanied with an intimation that if they
do not conduct themselves better in future, the
Allied Powers will not allow them to remain any
longer in Europe.
The terms of the ultimatum are stated to be as

follows :-
1. Tpe evacuation of the provinces of Wallachia and Moldavia
by the Turkish troops.
e. That no Gteek shall be punished fur rebellion unless proved
to be ;unity.
3. The property of Greeks who have become Russian subjects
to he preserved to them.
4. The te-establishmcnt of all the Greek churches; and.
5. An ample apology for the insult, offered to llama Stmgonce
The Divan had had several meetings since the
receipt of this ultimatum, and were to have another
on the 25th, at which Lord Strangford wars requested
to attend. _

On the 2tl of July, the Porte sent off despatches
to Count Nesselrode, detailing the whole of Strogo-
nuff's proceedings, and siic wing his conduct to have
been most outrageous and improper.
The report of the Tullis!' fleet having had an en-
gagement with, and been defeated by, the Greeks,
was unfotottled. The former, consisting of 25 sail,
of which hair line-of-battle ships and five frigates
formed part, had arrived et Samos with 12,000
Asiatic troops, which were ut Smyrna, but had
marched to Scalanova, %% here they were embarked
for Samos.

MURDER AT CUMBERLAND GATE.

ADJOURNED INQUEST UPON RICHARD HONEY.

[Evithitt nay.]
On Monday, at two o', lock, the Coroner entered the
iiiimest room, and took iiis seat.—Sir Robert Baker, in
c ',fiance with the desire of the Jury. was in attendance
to give evidence. He ar, ,ed some time before the Co-
roner and Jury —Mr. Sheriff Waithuian, Sir Richard
Phillips, and other t Mic 'nen, sere also present, as on
former days.
M►. Adolphus appear d this day in behalf of the Life
Guards The names of the Jurors having been called
over,
'I he Foreman said, it was the wish of the Jury to have
the ti peter of the party commanded by Lieut. Gore, on
the 14th, sammoned to give evidence. His name he un-
derstood to be Farmer, and lie was trumpeter A, of the
"H. Troop." He ineutioned it row, in order that tile
summons might issue immediately.
The Coroner issued his vuuunous for that man's attend'
atmee.
The Foreman here suggested the propriety of summon-
ing the five officers employed on that day, inclnding Liens.
Gore, as it was extremely probable, that if they were pre.
sent, some witnesses might identify them. He wished this
to be done, because he thought it would save a great deal
of trouble.

Before any answer was given,
Mr. Blakey (a Juror) rose, and begged In be iaformed
by whose authority and for whom Mr. Adolphus attended
here this day. He was lull aware of any right that any
learned gentleman had to he present at an inquisition,
and lie wished to observe, that the isnots could know of
uu two parties here, and in his opinion it was with them
atom- to put questions, and to conduct the incoiry.
Mr. Adolphus said lie attended here in behalf of the
I st regiment of Life Guards, and as to his right to be lies e
lie slim Id only say, that he VfMA quite satisfied that he haul
that right, and he did not come here as a matter of favour.
—The Ivarited gentleman bet e commenced an attack upon
the conduct of Mr. Sheriff Weidman. To those who
know Mr. Adolphas we need only say, that it was in his
usual style—to those who have not had that honour, we
shall merely state, that it was entirely unwarranted, ex-
cessively gross, and more vulgar, as well in idea as in
language and delivery, than any other thing of the sort we
have seen or heard of —The worthy Sheriff, though la-
bullring le, extreme cud apparent indisposition, rose
and vindicated his conduct anal his motives from the slate-
tiers of Mr. Adolphus, to the entire conviction of all who
heard Mon, anti iii such a way as to call forth the testimony
of the Jury to his gentlemanly and correct deportment
throughout.
Sir Robert Baker was called in and sworn. He at-
tended the procession of the funeral of her late ll,l'ajeaty
by coder of Government, and the direction it wee to take
was no Church-lane, Kensington, to the Gravel Pits, into
the New Road, and so no. It did not go in that direction,
owing to obstructions which were placed in Church-lane.
Witness finding it impracticable to proceed hat way,
proceeded on towards Kensington Park Grtes, considering
himself at liberty to take the nearest road to the direction
he had described. When the procession arrived at the
Park Gate at Kensington, a party of the Life Guards
(*Mlle to the spot in aid of the civil powt The passage
be those gales was attempted, when Coe gates were imme-
diately closed by the mob. The few constables who were
their attempted to open them, but they were overpowered
by the people Some of the Life Guards then attempted
to open the gates, when the mob began to pelt them with
armies and d. After a conflict of a considerable time,
witness succeeded in getting through the eate with his
horse. Considering it very dangerous to the attendants
no the co °cession to attempt to go through the Park while
this conflict was going on, lie consented to go on to Hyde
Park Corner. When they got there they found the Park
Gate obstructed, anti also the end of Park-lane. He
stopped there while the commanding officer of the Life
Guards sent to the Horse Guards for further orders.
When he had been there some time, lie was told that the
Park Gate was opened, and that the hearse, with the car-
riages which followed it, had gone through the Park t he
therefore turned tip Down-street, and two or three of the
carriages that preceded the hearse followed. He saw
come pieces of timber lying in the road, which the people
had 'dared there. lie went on with the procession. He
knew nothing of the affray; it all happened before lie
came ap.
By at Juror.—He gave the soldiers no orders to fire.
He did not read the Riot Act at Cumberland Gate, nor
dial anv whet magistrate that he knew of. He was sent
foi to Kensington in consequence of the obstruction that
bet: :okeei place there. The mains, y were there in aid of
the civil power,and acting 'Hider his ( witness's) direction.
Sir Robert Baker being asked whence he got his isffor •
million that the military commander sent for limiter in-
ate I. e:ions?
Mr. Adolphus .:.jested to the question.
Mr. Blakey aga..l rose and objected to the interference
of the remise!, unless he could skew that he had a right
to attend there.
After some conversation the question was not persisted
iii.
Examined by Mr. Blakey.—He did not read the Riot
Act, and lie would tell the Jury why. The reading of the
Riot Act would have made it a capital felony for any per-
WM to remain on the spot mule 111/111 hour cites it wits
read, and he had no intention of satin( in any given place
for one hour for that purpose; it brine his oliju et to get
the procession on as quietly as passible.
By Mr. Adolphus.—Sir Robert resumed :—He had no
orders to give which way the procession was or was not
to go. He had no orders until he went to Kensington,
and there he received directions to go as near to the pre-
scribed route as he could. There was an immense
number of persons at Kensington, and every where
else that lie passed. The conduct of the people was
disorderly, outrageous, and riotous in the extreme. The
cutiollict of the military, as far ■s he had an oppor-
tunity of observing, was ■s he thought perfectly
good. They were very much instilled. He saw a great
quantity of mud anti stones thrown at them, and was
struck himself with both. The soldiers chewed no dispo-
sition to revenge this conduct. They tried to rompel the
people to open the gates by cutting at their hands, either
with the bark or edge of their swords, he could not tell
vu tech. He saw a great number of stones thrown before
the Illtli.Aly began to rut. He wall out horseback aII the
hole, and in Piccadilly lie had some conversation with an
officer of the Guards.

will tale upon myself the responsibility of deviating from
the route. if it should be necessary." He never used the
words. "if any thing sl Id happen, I will take the
responsibility upon myself." He does not know Mr.
Grieg (a witness) by name. but there was a man who ap-
peared particularly anxious about the procession going
through the city, and who frequently rode up and ad-
dressed him. Witness did tell him he thought they would
be obliged to go through the city, and if they did so,
they must pass down St. James's street and Pall-mall, as
it was market day in the llaymaket. He does not recol-
lect any person saying any thing r ;rout Mr. Waithman or
Lord Hood, nor does he remember giving him any autho-
rity to communicate any thing to them. There were ge-
nerally five or six persons talking to him at the same time,
and lie cannot recollect clearly all that passed. He did
desire that person to use his influence to prevent any
insult at Carlton House. The intended route of the pro-
cession was altered in obedience to a force which could
not be resisted, without serious mischief to the soldiers,
to the people, and to the attendants in the procession,
many of whom were females in a dreadful state of alarm
and anxiety,
Jurors.—Does not know of his own knowledge thtel
a man was sent to the Horse Gurds for fultherfnstrac

lions, or that one came back with orders. When he
joined the procession at Kensington, he conceiver' it to be
his duty to conduct it as near to the prescribed Tonto as
possible, end that he was accountable for any deviation
t=om it. It was in consequence of the danger which he
apprehended that the consented the procession should ge
another way than that prescribed. He communicated his
apprehensions to the commander of the escort. He does
not remember receiving any particular answer from the
commander, but he understood he was willing to go any
way which he (Sir It. B.) should direct. He believed
Captain Bouverie• of the Blues. was the commander of
the escort, hut he did not know him personally. Witness
did not order the procession to go through Hyde Park.—
He considered himself at liberty to send for more sol-
diers, if necessary.
Sir R. Baker then signed his deposition and withdrew.

and men of your regiment, stationed at the gale of the bar-
rack,, when we attended with the witnesses to identify the
men who shot the deceased. We were then assaulted by
them, and 1 beg leave to state it was an illegal obstrumion.

Col. Cavendish.-1 hope the Jury will let me know if they

Mr. Adolphus put the question.—Though you did not nee
stones thrown when the defendant fell, you cannot say
stones were not thrown?
Mr. Waithman objected to that mode °renomination.
A Juryman also protested against it as unfair.
Mr. Adolphus said, every Juror would do his duty accord-
ing to his oath, but how he did it posterity would judge.
Juror.—That insinuation is of no consequence to

Coraneee—My opinion is, Mr. Adolphus ought to be per-
mitted to go on.
Juror.—And he is legally Isere?
Coroner.—Yes, be is.
Juror.—lf that is the Coroner's decision we must go on.
Josiah Brown.of N 0.2, Cumberland-street, deposed, that
he saw the procession come through the gate. The soldiers
rode on at a very brisk rate, and one of the horses fell. At
that time lie saw nothing thrown at the soldien. Soon after.
wards he heard firing, and he maw a man carried away on a
shutter.— W bile they were earring him away, he heard cries
of " murder !" and " shame r from the crowd.
It was now asked by the Foreman if any more witnesses
were in attendance to give evidence, and be was answered in
the negative by the beadle.
A Juror obsessed, that this was very extraordinary, as
summonses bud been issued for the attendance of several, and
bow was their absence to he accounted for ?
A Jstror.—Have we the power to summons witnesses
before us?
The Coroner.—Certainly.
Juror.—But if they do not attend upon one summons,
bow are we to get at them
Coroner.—Upon proof that any w fitness has been
actually served with a summons, and does not appear after
a reasonable time has been allowed, I shall issue a warrant
to bring him here.
The Foremau then wished to know whether they would'
adjourn till to-morrow or Wednesday.
Mr. Adolphus hoped it would be Thursday or Friday,
for Ise could not atteud on either of the days mentioned by
the Foreman.
The Furemsn.—l certainly shall not consent to a longer
adjournment than Wednesday.—Several Jurors called
out, "Let it be Wednesday."
Mr. Adolphus.—Then, Mr. Coroner, I cannot attend.
A Juror.—.We are not to consult your couvenience, sir t
we do not even consult our own.
Another Juror observed, that perhaps they would be
able to get through the investigation without the assistance
of the learned gentleman.
The Coroner.—Well, gentlemen, to what slay do you,
mean to adjourn? This is only a waste of time.
The Foreman.—To Wednesday. certainly, and before
we do adjourn, I hope summonses will be issued to Capt.
Oakes, and Lieutenants Story, Gore, Hell, and Terry, the
officers of Guards proved to be on duty on the 14th of
August.
The Coroner said the

should be issued.

After some further conversation, the Court adjoin-nut,
to Wednesday, at two o'clock.
[EIGHTH DAY.)

The Coroner's I witrest on Honey was on Wednesday
resumed at the New Inn, Edgwart.road. The Coroner,
Mr. Stirhvg, arrived soon after two o'clock, by which
time most of the Jurymen had assembled. The room at
the commencement was not so crowded as on former oc-
casions. Mr. Henson, the attorney, was present bu
neither Sheriff ‘Vaithman nor Mr. Adolphus had arrived
when the Jury were called over and sworn.
The beadle then stated, that the corporal and the
trumpeter were in attendance.
The corporal was ordered, by the Foreman,to be called
John Hayward, corporal in the Life Guards, of Troop
C., being sworn, said, that he was out hi the party ots
the day. There were ten privates, two corporals, a
trumpeter, and an officer of the party. When they ar-
rived at Cumberland Gate they were divided into two
divisions of six each—one division on the right, and the
other on the left of the Gate—all were in Oxlird•road.
After they were thus stationed, they were ordered to
cloak. Lieut. Gore had no cloak. He rode out of the
ranks, and asked Lieut. Gore to accept his (witness's)
cloak. He said No; and he (Gore) lifted up his shate-
raque, and added, his servant had sent him out without
cloak or pistol. They afterwards rode their horses about
backwards and forwards in the street. Next came a large
crowd of people and shut the gate. They (the Guards)
opened them, and placed a sentinel on each side of the
gate thus opened. Next there was a larger crowd still,
who again shut the gate, and forced the two sentries.
They opened the gate again by force, and placed swo
additional sentinels. At that time they were saluted with
a shower of stones and brickbats by the mob. It was
about dinner time, somewhere between tweive and two
o'clock ; it was before the procession came up. Witness
was then hit on the temple with a brickbat, which made
him dizzy. deaf, awl blind for sonic minntes. When he
came to himself he saw a great crowd most active and
noisy. 13y the assistance of his comrades and the police
they next set to work or remove two wafalons, posts, and
iron grates, taken from the streets, all being placed across
the Ldgware-road. That was all he saw. except being
hammered with brickba.s and stones. There were no
horses in the war•tons. Some of his comrades had been
ordered to the gateway; but the mob was violent, and
endeavoured to keep we gates closed. They drew their
swords, becau. e the mob would not submit without; and
they used the fiat part- of the swords in defence, and to
enable them to execute their orders. The salute of
stones and brickb is was made at the second attempt to
open the ga•e. there seemed to be a confederacy between
those who brew the stones and those who endeavoured
to keep the gate shut. He, however, did not know such
fact of his own knowledge. Before they began to dis-
perse the people, there was a good deal of foul language.
—Before there was au attempt to disperse the people, at
the first shuttin7, of the g_te, there were some few
stones thrown, but they were not of any consequence.
The officer g..ve orders to disperse the mob. He heard
die firing, but it was not where he was; he saw
no man fall ; he was at the time at the end of Edg-
ware-road. He remained at Cumberland gate station
about twenty minutes after the corpse had passed. They
formed again; lie was in the rear. He did not see the
officer and trumpeter in conversation together. He did
not hear the crowd say " there goes the two butchers
together." lie heard no such cry. It was the duty of
the trumpeter to be in the front of the a.:vaticed guard;
and to be with the officer only if called by Stud) officer.
The trumpeter was a boy; his name was Bishop, he
believed. He did not positively know that his name
was Bishop; he did not wish to tell a lie.
Coroner.—lle said nothitig about tieing frightened.
Witness did nut know the names of the soldiers plc-
