" DISSOLUTION OF THE CHAMBER.

" We believe we can affirm that the dissolution of the
Chamber will not so immediately take place as the Liberal
Journals appear to wish. Every one perceives the neces-
sity of giving time to the Royalists to recover themselves ;
and we are sure that, at whatever time this measure may
be taken, they will all equally feel the necessity of opposing,
i❑ a firm manner, all the designs of the revolutionists."......
Quotidienns.

" The following artic!e of the Moniteur has, no doubt,
been occasioned by the disputes of the Gazette and Qwo-
tidienne:—

" The public papers which attack the Government
make use of a very convenient system of tactics. They
suppose that Ministers have journals, and attribute to
them the sentiments, wishes, and discussions of these
: journals. If they are asked who assured them of the pre-
tended fact, they will answer that it suited them to invent
it. When these papers use the following expressions--
' Ministers say ;' Ministers write ;" the Ministry sup-
poses ;" we read in the Ministerial journals'—France may
boldly answer them, that there is no truth in it, and that
they ascribe to Ministers their own inventions. In private
life no one would dare to accuse his adversary by gratui-
tous suppositions. Vs hat is unlawful in private, is not
less so in public life. It is not likely that Ministers should
daily reveal what they think, say, or do to any of 'their
pretended confidential journals. An indiscreet government
is no government. The Ministry have not given to any
one the right of speaking in their name, and no one, for
aught they know, has done so. They neither own nor
disown any journal; they leave to each its liberty. Go-
vernment is not composed of private individuals, with par-
ticular affeetions, but it consists of public men, whom a
sense of duty raises above the puerility o ntering into the
debates of opinion. It is to the good of the nation
k
that Government entrusts tlie judgment o üblic visitors.
Journalists in general are not sufficiently aware of the obliga-
tions of Government not to intervene in their quarrels
In their eyes, the only good government is that which
renders an account of its actions on a public stage, where
they appear as severe censors. But the King's Govern-
ment manages the affairs of France without ascending the
benches like mountebanks. Far from insulting the press,
Ministers deem it valuable, when confined within the
bounds of moderation and wisdom. They are aware that
good advice may often proceed from a journalist of talent
and experience. The press ought to enlighten public
opinion by all kinds of discussion relative to our interests,
but it should not excite and cherish the passions. If by
false presumption it misses its aim, it will be its own
fault ; Government will never become the tool of de-
claitners and demagogues. Thus Government, in its de-
signs and acts, is not more influenced by the unjust dis-
dain of the press, than subject to its caprices. It would
be derogatory to its own dignity if it entered into the
quarrels of wounded self-love and disappointed ambition,
with which most opposition journals now abound. This
is a supposition which it disowns, and of which it will
prove the falsehood by its actions.'
" The Gourrier Francais of this morning contains the
following observations upon the article of the Moniteur,
given in another part of the Messenger:—' The MONi•
itU7''S article is the object of a severe censure on the part
of the Gazette de France. Thus war is openly declared
between them. The journal of M. de Villele affirms that
it finds so many inconsistencies and contradictions in the
terms of this article, and they are involved in such ob-
scurity, that it is impossible to make out any sense or
meaning in them ; yet the Gazette perfectly compre-
hends the measure which dictated them. Now, let us
ask, what is the meaning of this article ? What is the
sense of these oracular phrases ? Is it not a declaration
of war between the Prince de Polignac and M. de
Villele ? The Gazette asserts that it feels indifferent
as to being avowed or disavowed by any one ; that it will
continue to pursue the line of conduct it has prescribed for
itself; and will even defend the Ministry, though they
may repel its aid. This is truly an excellent composi-
tion, and at the same time a species of impertinence to
which Governments are little accustomed. Observe this,
then, M. de Polignac ! They are indifferent whether you
acknowledge them or not ; they will not make the
slightest concession of principle to you ! The Gazette
belongs to M. de Villele, and to him will it adhere. Thus
the most warm and acrimonious hostility still reigns be-
tween the two favourites. Liberty and the Constitution
will at least gain strength by these differences."
The following, dated Constantinople, March 11, is ex-
tracted from the Augsburgh Gazette ....—Upon the propo-
sal of the English Ambassador, Vice-Admiral Tahir Pacha
will be dispatched to Algiers, for the purpose of persuading
the Dey to come to an arrangement with France, and of
pointing out to him the dangers .he would be exposed to,
in case a strong body of French troops should effect a
landing. We look for a favourable result from Tahir
Pacha's mission, since the Dey will no doubt listen to a
Turkish Ambassador before any other. The sad disas-
ters lately experienced by the Porte may also serve him
as a lesson not to trifle with a power like that of France.
Tahir Pacha will have full powers to act, in case of neces-
sity, as mediator between the Dey and the French Govern.
ment. Between Constantinople and Alexandria a regular
conveyance for letters will forthwith be established, in
which two Egyptian steam-packets are to be employed.
The Austrian Observer announces, after intelligence of
March 10th from Constantinople, that, in consequence of
the first instalment of the indemnity to Russian merchants
having been paid, the 6th at tick of, the. Treaty relative to
Servia executed, and Giurgewo evacuated by the Turks,
the Russian army have left Adrianople, Kirklisse, Lule-
BurgaQ, Midia, Iniada, and other places, and delivered
them up to the Porte, It further adds, that as the Turkish
Government are prepared to pay the second instilment
according to the Treaty, the Russian troops are making
preparations to evacuate the whole country from the Bal-
kan to the sea, as far as the gulf of Bourgas, and to with-
draw into Bulgaria and Dobrudscha. Part of the Russian
squadron have sailed for Malta. Admiral Heyden re-
mains with two ships of the line; one frigate, and two
brigs, in the ports of Greece. Admiral Malcolm was at
Napoli in the beginning of February, with a ship of the
line and some smaller vessels. The two French brigs,
Voloye and Surprise, - lately arrived in Greece; the
former with 25,000 fr., and the latter with 35,000 fr., for

The following, are extracts from the German
Papers of the 9th inst. relative to Greece. We
fear from the selfishness and utter want of prin-
ciple displayed by the Greek Chiefs that Prince
LEOPOLD will have no sinecure of his kingly
office for the first year at least. The
wish expressed by the Greek Deputies to have

the PRESIDENT confirmed as the " head of
Greece," appears to have been prompted on
by his Excellency Count CAPO
and is perfectly consistent with other samples of
Russian finesse and moderation

smvarrA, red. 27.
The Courier de Smyrna says, the delay of our
letters from Napoli has hindered us from acquainting our
readers with the details of the audience which M. de
Ribeaupiere, during his stay at that place, gave on the
9th January to a deputation of the Greek Senate. M.
de Ribeaupiere received the Deputies in the most affable
manner, and desired they would express their wishes to

it•

him without reserve. One of them spoke in the following

manner :--
" It is at the invitation of the President that we ap-
pear before your Excellency to offer to you, as represen-
tatives of the Greek nation, the expretsions of its respect,
and to add that of our gratitude, for the benefits which
his Majesty the Emperor of Russia has deigned to confer
upon us, as well as for the confidence with which his
Majesty has been pleased to honour our President.

We all belong to the different provinces Cf- Greece,
which have taken up arms to shake off the yoke of ty-
ranny, the Sporades, the Cyclades, the Peloponnesus, and
the continent. As the organs of Greece, it is in
its name that we beg his Imperial Majesty to con-
tinue his favour to us, and that we entreat you to in-
tercede with his Majesty not to forsake us at a critical mo-
ment, but to hasten our restoration by completing the
work of oar deliverance, which his Majesty has undertaken
in concert with his august Allies. Lastly, we are com-
missioned to recommend, :in the name of the whole na-
tion, to your Excellency's kind consideration the three
following points

" 1. -The loan for whichlthe President has long since
begged the assistance of his Majesty.
" 2. That his Imperial Majesty will be pleased to inter-
vene with the allied Courts that our rights as a nation may
be preserved to us, and that our President may be left us
as the head of Greece. We have not failed to apply, by a
message of the Senate, to his Most Christian Majesty to
this effect; and we venture to hope that those two Mo-
narchs will deign to listen to the wishes of the nation.
"3. That your Excellency will be pleased to intercede for
us with his Imperial Majesty, in order that the free navi-
gation of the Black Sea may be granted to the Greek flag."
This speech, delivered in the Greek language, was
translated by M. Rizo. One of the Senators, who under-
stands a little French, complained that the translation was
quite unfaithful. M. de Ribeaupiere replied that he would
do his utmost to fulfil the wishes of Greece, and that his
Imperial Majesty's wishes were to that effect; but be
thought it would be very difficult to obtain from the
Porte the free navigation of the Black Sea for the Greek
flag. After the departure of M. de Ribeaupiere, which
took place on the 10th of January, the President went on
the 13th on board the steam-boat to Salamis, and cast
anchor the same d,:y off Ambelaki. The troops there,
which were in a state of mutiny, sent a deputation to
compliment him, and at the same time to require the
execution of the promise made
.by the President on the
29th of December, to discharge their arrears of pay.—
After reciprocal disputes, excuses, and threats, the Pre-
sident ordered M. ahodios, the Paymaster-General, to
repair on board the Helena Russian frigate, which
lay in the harbour at anchor, and there to get 40,000
Spanish dollars, which, with 50,000 dollars from the pub-
lic treasury, made six months' pay to 23d Sept. 1829.
After this payment, the President promised another
quarter, deducting, however, one month's pay to be dis-
tributed among the wounded; but upon the condition that
the troops should assent to a new organization, by which
the Government should be secured against all impositions
with respect to the number of men entitled to pay, for
it was demanded for 8,000 men, whereas the President
was able to convince himself that there were in fact only
2,800 men actually under arms. The troops were not
inclined to this on any account ; but on the one hand they
were threatened that if they did not return to order it a
moment's notice, the Allied Powers were on the point of
finally determining the fate of Greece, and they would lose
all claim to Rumelia, their native country. On the other
hand it was intimated to them that in case they
persisted, the mutineers would be arrested and sent to
Siberia. The deputies of the troops, therefore, agreed to
the proposal, and a committee of seven members, among
whom were the two brothers, Andrew and Constantine
Metaxa, proceeded to effect the new organization, after
which another quarter will be paid, deducting a month's
pay for the wounded. It is remarked, however. that Con-
stantine Metaxa, who is always with the Greek Captains,
and hay; only about 100 men in his pay, always gets from
the President pay for 200. The chiefs, therefore, cannot
well be expected to give an example of order and correc-
tion of abuses.

The affair being thus settled, the President left Salamis
on the 14th January, promising to return in a fortnight
and receive the new oath. At this time (22d January)
there are in the Exchequer 1,400,000 Turkish piastres,
including the 180,000 francs which the Baron de Rouen
lately delivered from his Government.

AARIISTADT, APRIL '7.
The event which we have apprehended for some weeks
past has happened; we have to lament the death of the
Grand Duke, our revered Sovereign, who expired yester-
day at half-past twelve o'clock, at noon, in the 76th year
of his age, and on the last day of the 40th year of his
memorable reign.
The Grand Duke Louis has issued an ordinance an-
nouncing that he has assumed the reins of Government.
His Royal Highness has ordered a mourning of twelve
weeks for his august father. The garrison of this city
took the oath of fidelity to the new Sovereign yesterday
afternoon.

BRUSSELS, APRIL 13.
The papers cis?stain various accounts of the damage
caused by the storms, accompanied with thunder and
lightning, on the Bth and 9th of this month. Several
farm-houses were struck by lightning, and entirely con-
sumed.

The Law Commissioners have recommended

the raising the sum for which an arrest for debt
may take place, from 201. to 1001. This will
be a salutary alteration, and whatever difference
of opinion may exist on the expediency of al-
lowing arrest for debt in general, there will not
be much on the propriety of confining its opera-
tion to cases where there is really a considerable

lamount of property at stake.
Under proper regulation arrests on mesue
process are not to be sweepingly condemned,
though they ought not certainly to be resorted to
with so little check as at present. They are not
sanctioned either by' the law of Scotland, or of
any other country in Europe, unless upon proof
that the debtor is about to leave the kingdom.
The most generally recognized proceeding is an
attachment on the goods of the debtor until he
gives bail, which we think might well be sub-
stituted for the attachment on the person in the
first instance. In the city of London attach-
ments on property are found to work extremely
well, and there is no reason why they should not
be extended to the rest of the kingdom. This
should he the first process against a debtor above
100/. ; and if he has no tangible property, the
creditor should then be allowed to apply to a
Judge or some proper authority for an order to
arrest his person, if the circumstances of the case
should appear to require such a proceeding, for
the creditor's r,ecurity. In the same way, after
judgment, the person of the defendant should
only be taken in execution as the last resort, and
not before ascertaining that no goods are to be
found. Arrests are at present used as much for
intimidation as for security, and so far, are oc-
casionally a mercy to debtors in frightening them
from litigation ; but when we consider that by far
the larger portion of the actions which go to trial
are defended not upon the merits, but in order
to gain time, and take advantage of technicalities,
it can hardly be supposed that arrests often have

the effect of compelling debtors to satisfy imme-
diately the just demands of their creditors.
This intimidation system, moreover, may, and
often does, lead to instances of great individual
oppression, and partakes more of the spirit of
the bully than that of even justice.
Where commercial credit is so useful and so'
indispensable as in England, and in a state of
society in which nine people out of ten actually

•

live by anticipation of their revenues, some secu-
rity either in the shape of arrest or attachment
seems necessary at the commencement of legal
proceedings. We cannot, therefore, agree with
those who would totally abolish the system of
bail, though its better regulation is strongly called
for. A debtor, after remaining in prison a few
weeks fbr want of bail, comes regularly out under
the Insolvent Act, after the loss not only of his
time, but of twenty or thirty pounds spent in
obtaining his discharge, which ought to have
been applied to the payment of his debts. The
Insolvent Court is a sort of safety valve for pro-
fligates and swindlers ; the practice in it is one
of th e most thriving and profligate branches of
the law, and its business seems to be gradually
swelling. By reforming the Law of Arrest this
insolvent relief system would be, in a great
measure, rendered superfluous, and creditors
would gain, in fact, a full equivalent for the loss
of the power of arrest. But the Law Commis-
sioners, throughout their Report, carefully ab-
stain from recommending on any occasion any
thorough change of system ; their endeavour has
rather been to smooth down things as they are,
and the amendments they have suggested are
altogether so small as to be almost imperceptible
on the face of our " rudis indigestaque moles"
of law. They have pruned down a few little
excrescences, of whose existence few people knew
or cared about, and they have been inactive
when hard strokes ought to have been struck.
They have certainly recommended the dismissal
of John Doe and Richard Roe from his MA-
JESTY'S service ; but these gentlemen, if they
have done no good, have certainly done no harm
in their career, and it is pure humbug to say
that the law will be improved by their removal,
or that it can signify a speck of dust whether we
have them with us or not. There are abuses,
however, left untouched which do signify very
much, and which, as it were, for that reason
have been left to grow in tranquillity.

OLD BAILEY.---(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.

These Sessions commenced this morning before :the
Right Hon. the LORD 3.layoa, Sheriffs, and usual city
Officers.
The Judges in attendance are Ur. Justice Nevi •sni
Mr. Justice GAZZLZE.

Mr. Serjeant A RABIN said, from the great number of
prisoners for trial, the present Sessione would in all probe
bility last a much longer time than usual ; and as the tiro.
of the Court was frequently wasted by witnesses not being
in attendance, he wished it to be known that in all such
cases they would not in future be allowed their expellees.
Henry Wright Smith, aged 20, a young man of veil
respectable appearance, was capitally indicted for stealing
in the dwelling-house of George Duekett, two watches and
other articles, value 501., the property of Charles Carols,
There are four other indictments of a similar nature
against the prisoner, amongst which is one for robbing
Messrs. Sewell and Cross, his employers, of 200 yards of
silk, and a great quantity of other goods.
Elizabeth Caron stated that sire lived in Seymour-street,
Somers-town. In January last the prisoner called at ber
brother's house to look at lodgings ; they were shown to
him, and he agreed to take them, and said he would take
possession on the following day. Prisoner gave witness
a reference as to his respectability to No. 3, Judd-places
He called again on the following day (Saturday) whet/
witness told him he was not known at No. 3, Judd-plat*
He replied " No ; I have made a mistake as to the now
ber : it is not No. 3, but No. 28." Prisoner slept at the
house on that night, and staid at home all the following
day until evening, when he said that be must go out, 0
his brother had been taken ill. Witness sat up for bias
till very late, but he did not return until the following
day. Witness told him that his luggage had not arrived,
when he said that there must be some mistake, eta
he supposed the porter had serried it to a wrung
number. Shortly atter this conversation the prisoner &glair
left home, and did not afterwards return. Witness, osi
the following morning, missed a trinket-hoz, containing
a watch, and the other articles named in the indictmentk
Was quite sure they were safe when the prisoner left the
house. He was apprehended a few days afterwards. "-
Cross.examined by Mr. CLeaxsow.......Witness is a,
married woman, but did not live with her husband ; they
bad been separated for a length of time, and she could not
say whether he was living or dead. The property belonged
to her, but there was no settlement previous to her marriage.-
Mr. Burgess, a pawnbroker, produced the article
stolen, which he was quite positive had been pledged br
the prisoner at different times, who said part of the arti-
,
cles belonged to himself, and the others to his sister.
Mrs. Caren was recalled, and identified the artieles prni`'
duced as her property.
Henry Davis produced a gold watch, which the
loner had pledged with his master, Mr. Beecham, a paws'.
broker, in Holborn.

Mr. Justice Parora—l suppose pawnbrokers do ant
usually lend the full value on articles? Witness-14.A'
often, my Lord, although we do sometimes. If the watch`
had been hung up in the window for sale, we should We:
asked 71. for it.
Several pawnbrokers produced a variety of article,
which had been pawned by the prisoner, and all of which
were identified by Mrs. Caron as her property.
Mr. J. Mills stated that the prisoner lodged with him`
about five or six months before he was taken into custody.
He told witness that he was a draper's shopman. In owl-
sequence of something that witness had heard he request'
Limbrick, the officer, to watch the prisoner, and after
wards caused him to be apprehended.
Cross-examined--Had heard that the prisoner's mother
WAS a very respectable Woman, and also that the prisoner,
on one occasion, made an attempt upon his life, by taking
a quantity of poison,
Limbrick, police officer, apprehended the pri-
soner in February last, at the house of the last witneen.•
On searching him he found a great quantity of pawn-
brokers' duplicates. Witness on taking him into custody'
said, " You must be a very bad man to rob a poor
woman like Mrs. Caron." He replied, '4 lam Yell
sorry for it, but I was so mush in debt."
_ _

Mary Brett stated that the prisoner lodged for a time at
her mother's house. When he came there he brought the
trunk now produced.

By Mr. 6LAaKsox—Had read the story of " George'
Barnwell." Never lived with the prisoner, or passed es
his wife.

Mr. Justice PAILICZ—I suppose you are an unfortunate
woman ? Witness—Yes, my Lord.
Mr. Justice Pi. —I am sorry for you, young woman.
By Mr. CLAitason—About a mouth before the Pri"
sonar was sppreheudtd, h• book a quantity of laudanum.
He was ♦ery ill afterwards.

This was the case for the proseeution.
The prisoner declined saying any thing in his defence.
Mr. CLARK SON said he thought he should be able to
prove that the prisoner was at times labouring ender in-
sanity.

Mr. Justice PanicE—Thatt will be for the decision of

Ann Clarke stated that the prisoner and the girl Brett
lived together at her house at the time he attempted to
poison himself. His conduct on that and several other oc-
casions was most wild and extraordinary.
Mrs. Smith, mother of the prisoner, (a most respect-
able looking woman) said that she went to see her sou
often; he had taken a quantity of laudanum, ke appeared
very ill. The prisoner, when a child, received a blow on
the head, which so affected him that she was advised by
the professional gentleman that attended him to watch '
his future actions. Witness had another son who was
similarly afflicted. He died a few months since.—(Tbis
witness was dreadfully agitated whilst giving her evidence.)
Mr. Justice PARXE slimmed up. His Lordship was
of opinion there was not sufficient proof of insanity.
The Jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of .
Guilty—Death.

Justice PARKE said, he was quite satisfied with the
verdict, and was sorry to take up the time of the Jury
wick trying another case against the prisoner, but as there
were several other capital indictments against him, he was
bound by command of his Majesty to try some of them,
The prisoner was then arraigned on another indictment,
charging him with robbing his employers, Messrs. Sewell
and Cross, linen-drapers, of 229 yards of silk and other
articles value 501.

Mr. CHARLES PHILLIPS conducted the prosecution.
Two shopmeu of Messrs. Sewell and Cross proved the
prisoner living as shopman with that firm, and that the
property produced, which bad been pawned by him, be-
longed to the prosecutors.

In answer to a question by Mr. Clarkson, the witness
stated that the private mark of Messrs. Sewell and Crow
wa. DJ L M4:l UAS R. The interpretation of which
was, " Do justice, love mercy, be upright, and sincerely
righteous."

Air. Justice PARKE—Nothing could be better than a
text of scripture.
Mr. Justice PARKE, in summing up, said as there was
no proof that property to the value of Sit. had been stolen
at one time, the prisoner could not be convicted for the
capital past of the charge.

The Jury returned ;verdict of guilty of stealing under
;he value of 5/.

111 r. Justice PARKE—Really, gentlemen, this is a most
heart-rending and distressing case. There is no less than
fire other capital indictments lying upon the table against
the unfortunate young man at the bar, but I think it is not
necessary for the ends of justice to proceed with them. His
Lordship then addressed the prisoner, and begged of him, in
the most earnest manner, not for a moment to flatter himself
with any hope of mercy. It was lamentable to see one so
young cut off from society ; but the cases against him were
of such a heinous nature, that the extreme penalty of the .
law would assuredly follow.

A great quantity of property Mt then produced by va-
rious pawnbrokers, which was ordered to be given up to
its respective owners._

The prisoner was then removed from the bar. He re-
tained the greatest composure throughout the trial.

The prisoner was charged with a robbery in the house of
Mr. Bowles, at Enfield, for which Sales, the man executed
on Wednesday last, had been convicted. Another of the
gang had also been convicted, and the other two have not
yet been taken into custody. The Learned Counsel theu
stated the facts of the ease, an afterwards proved in
evidence.

Mr. Bowles examined—l resided at Middleton-house,
Enfield, on the 19th of October last. My house was
broken open on the night of that day.

Mr. Bowles, jun.—On the 19th of October, I was
called up about a quarter before six, and I found when I
got down stairs, that the panel of the back door had been
cut out, and the back door standing open. Four hats, an "
eight-day clock, writing desk, and a variety of abet
articles were stolen. I attended last Sessions, and gave
evidence against Sales. On that occasion I identified
several articles of property that bad been stolen.
