&tug a part of its forttine to that of its unfor-
tunate brothels. Let us manifest to the whole world
that the Spanish nation is not only great by its va-
lour but by its generosity and sympathy; that there
is not a single Asturian -whose resources are not
ready to alle% rate the misfOrttmes of his-cOuntry men ;
let us then open a sub,cription to atft;rd them suc-

the perfidious author of our misfortunes may. know
that this union makes us invincible.

FOREIG.AT INTELLIGENCE.

VIENNA, AUG. 24.—" Between the 18th and
r; 9th of July, Constantinople was the scene of re-
turkable events.
" On the 18,th of July, the Aga of the Janissa-
ries arrived in the evening with 15,000 men, at
Daud Pacha, • where he formed an encampment.
" On the in the morning, the Grand Seig-.
ntor MUSTAPHA IV.. attended by his Court, went
out to meet tilt Sangbiaki-Sherif, or holy standard
of the Prophet., He met that ensign of the siipreme
.dignity of a Kalif between Ingirli Koi and Daud
, Paella ; and, the instant he saW•it, he alighted iron
his hot se, momentarily' prostrated himself on the
-ground, and then Messed the standard against his
furetNad. Tbe Grand Vizier iMmediately abet' in='
troduced to the 'Sultan time two subordinate Com
manders, BEREM PAdHA, and the celebrated Pacha
of Rudshuck, MUSTAPHA BAIRACTAR. ' Aftei con
versing sotnerainie with diem, • he rode b'ack to the
Seraglio,- where he held a Rikial, or Privy Council.
He then-secout once more to receive the stand card
of the Empire, which° had, during this interval, ar-
rived at the Porte, and which he depositedin.. the
Kirkai'Sherif Odassi, the apartment appropriate d to
it ire the interior of the Seraglio, On the saind day
a severe aCtion was fought off the mouth of the
Dardanelles between an English Frigate and so veral
Turkish Gun-boats : the result was decidedly dis-
advantageous to time latter.,

" On the f9th, in the evening, thq Aga C)1 the
Janisbaries died- suddenly in his harem, and was
succeeded 4in. his orrice by SEIMEN BAkIHI. • The
same day MUSTAPLIA, BAIRACTAIt sent Off a body
of too() horbe to the relief of .15..ETENGI OGLU AGA,
whO formerly attacked the famous KAVAGHI Q GLU,
and who was at this time besieged by the Tal dales
in Fanaraki, one of the Castles of the Dardant lies ;
howevri, this happened too late, as this small party
having been overpowered the preceding night, was
obliged to take refuge in the adjacent woods, and
afterwards to retreat al,•ag the famous aquebin t of
the Emperor JUpTINIAN to Birgos. Here they
again•re-joined the army of MUSTAPHA BAIRA
'the Tabiales, being snuck with terror, sub4;itted
on the following day, and enrered, paltry on 'board
the- Fleet, and partly into the service of I VIUS'-
TAPHA.

" 011 lild 21st, MUSrAPIIA BAIRACTAR, r the
head Of 1500 chosen cavalry, made a formal vi ,it to
the Grand Vizier. The hater mounted his k ,orse,
while IVlusrarßA anal leis numerous cavalcade
.14 airedfor him.• They then proceeded to be present ;it an
Assembly of State; held at the Palace of the ;rand
Seignior, hen Aitikrt AL ALLAH EkTEND I was
displpeed, and IkaAazADE BLY was apps tinted
in nis place. On the tolio,wing day, both the Kadt-
• leskers; and_ several Ulcers of the Janissariesi, were
also removed, as was also Mourn Et,PENI)tli,. and
Ut. ELLILMA -(President of the Conterencet. with.
Eoreigti nituisters) ;mild the whole of these Officers
Were. banished to qprus, • Brussa, and &ucania.—
.Notvithstanding thee proceedings, all these changes
appeared to be too late, as a triend of IiAIitA;CTALCS,
KALIANGE OGI-11, advanced troth toe Asiatic
side with 5000 &minim toot and 3000 cav;alry, .to
Scutari, where he formed a cartip. r.lll • Grand
Seigitur, the day before, had a view of Mt rsTAPH.A
BALRACTAICSICHCC front a balcony, and on t he .22d,
.11(..companied by several-Uri-is:o4 of State, lie Went to
attend-- morning prayers %Alai MtisTAPtu 111 the
Grit ILL.-sive, • near- the new barracks, ciase by the
entrance of Tera.• On the live following g.dys
ljc tranqulllity remained, in a great measki re, ,undis-
turbed.

" On the 28th of July, the designs Of Mus'rk-
PHA 13AI1{ACTAii were pretty well unveilied. utter
the Sultan had, by his own flattt-sherit;, appointed
him Generalissimo of the Subinue.Porte,, he had the
audacity to surround the Palace of the; Grand Vi-
zier ; he demanded- of him the Great Seal of the
Empire; atter which he sent the Vizier a State_
Prisoner, under 'strong escort of cavalry, to the camp
near Daud Nona. Immediateiy *after this, the
Grand Seiguor 'bent two black eunuchs and eight
trusty Moors,• with the silken bow string', to his uncle,
the deposed Sultan Seliin.—Histody 'was actually
exposed in The Great Court of the Seraglio ; still
the able& of opposing the plans of Mustapha's de,
pendants did nct succeed ; and in the. evening at
rive, the cannon from the Seraglio, Tophane, and
the fleet, announced a change in the Government,
and hr the room of MUSTAPHA his young bro-
ther, MAtimiEn IL the last :branch of the' race of
OSMAN, was proclaimed. He was born an the
2o: hof June, 1785. The new Sultan transmit-
ted the Seal of the Empire to MUSTAPHA BA-titAc-Tait, and delivered 'the Moors. before-mentioned,
for punishment, into the - hands, of the Bostang
Pasha, or Captain of the Guard. Nothing more
remarkable has- hitherto occurred in consequence of
this revolution; and the pablic peace seems to be
perfectly restored."

OLD BAILEY.

THIRD DAY--.PR;DAY, SEPT. 15.

Henry Locke, a very genteel-looking, welL-dressetl.-
young man, was halide(' for forging a draft of 101.
directed 310 srs. Clarke and SCisson, and purport-
iiig to be.; signed 'by William Bliss, with an inten:ion
to defraud Messrs. Clarke and Scissots ;. anothet7,
count in the indiefment charged him with uttering
the check, knowing it to be forged, with an inten-
tion to defraud Thomas Baverstock.
Thomas Baverstock deposed, he kept-the Crokt.n
and Cushion public-house, Prince's-street,,Holborn
be had been tonnerly in. the .watch-case taking bu-
siness; at which time he knew the Prisoner,, who
was in the same business. On the 21St of Novem-
ber last, the Prisoner came to his house, 'and asked
the Witness for change for a 501. note; he said, he
wanted it for a Mr. ItichardA, a. wateb-ease Maker,
in Blidf,reWater-street. The Witness knew Mr.
Ili-
chords, and would have changed the .note, but had
not so much money in- the, house. In about' ten-
minutes after, the Prisoner returned, and asked Mrs.
132 verstock change for a draft 'of i 01. ; :he 'also- then
said itwas for Mr.,llichards'. The Witness changed it,
ve the ,Prisoner a bl. Bank note, and the remainder
guineas and silver. Atter the Prisoner hadl gone,
his wife scented to have some suspicion that the`
check was not a good one, and the Witness went to
Richards, who denied .having any
,knowledge. of
the check or the• Prisoner 3 on the following day he
went to the banking-house of Messrs. Clark 2., and
Scisson, and was informed they knew no one of the-
name of William Bliss, the name to the check, pur-
porting to he the drawer. He then applied toTrott,
the ()dicer of Hatton-Garden P.oliee-Otlice.
did not see the Prisoner again until he saw him in
_custody on another charge. To the best of his be-
lief the Prisoner was the Man tOat had tendered the
check to him, but he could not swear positively. it-
was4 at that time the Prisoner had a wen on his
face, and although there was the mark where the
wen was cut out on the Prisoner's face, vet it teing
off had altered the appearance-- of his face so much,.
that he had some doubt whether he was the same
person.

Michael Baverstock, wife of the last-witness, cor-
roborated his testimony, but she had also her doubts,
on account of the wen being gone.. .
The Learned JUDGE informed the Jury, there was
a deficiency of evidence; the witnesses had a doubt
whether the Prisoner was the person who tendered,
the check, and when a subject's life was at stake, it
was the duty of the Jury to give the Prisoner the be-
nefit of that doubt.
• The• Jury accordingly acquitted him.
He was. theh indicted tor forging, uttering, and
publiThing as true,. in the city 'of London, a false,
forged, and counterfeited oide'r for the payment of
6001. drawn on thehouse of Messrs. Prescott and
Co. Bankers, purporting to be signed by Charles=
Price, John St. Bathe, and Thomas Harcastle, with
intent to defraud William Willoughby Prescott anal.
George Grote, he, the said Henry LoCke, at the time
he uttered the said forged and cetinterfeited order,
well knowing the same to be forged and counter-
feited.

' .Charles Jackes,. Secretary to the.. Commercial
Dock Company, deposed, that Sir Charles Price was
Chairman-of the Counpmy. On the first -cif 'April
he received a check of 201. from the Corripany,
signed' by Sir William Price and two others of
COmpany,'on" Prescott and Co. Bankers. The Pri-
soner on that day called to see him,
.and to pay him
tot. he was indebted_ to him; he had known the
PrisQuer three years; he was going to send a porter
with the, check to the Bank, when file Prisiiner
offered to change it for hiin, :And did, change it ; the
CoMpany's check-book was on the table ; the Wit-
tress :vas obliged to go r
out of the room fosbout five

minutes, and left the Prisoner soon after thp
Prisoner took his leave and went away ; on the .20th
of April he saw the Prisoner tigain, who told him be
was going to the countrY ; did not see him again
until he Was in custody. •
William Husk, Clerk of Messrs. Prescott and Co,
deposed, that a draft for 6001. Purporting to be signed
by Sir CharleS Price, and two others of the Cominer-
eta' Dock Company, was tendered by a ticket-porter
of the name of Jones, t; ,r payment, and • the Wit,
ness gave' him the amount in two 3001. Bank of
England notes. The check d, and the
Witness proved it was the same that he had oiven
the porter cash tor.
William Jores, ticket-porter, deposed, that on
the 20th of April, a young man at the •Angletnan
COfiee-house called him, and desired him to go to
the Bank of 'Prescott and Co. and bring him change
for a draft of 6001;1/ and to bring it in "501. notes of
the Bank of England, to the Secretary's room in
the East ledia House, and inquire tor Mi. JackSUp.
He tendered the bill, and received two 3001. Bank

of England:notes ;, went to the Bank, and got them
changed for 50i. notes; went to the Secretary's
roon.;, and inquired for Mr. Jackson, but was in-
formed. they knew of no such person; then went
to the codee-house where he- had received the note,
and found the person who bad given it to him, to
whom he, delivered twelve Bank of England notes
for 501. ' each. He could not see the person. in
Court that he had the transa6tion with, and he did
not believe the Prisoner vas the.petson.
Mr. GURNEY,. Counsel tbr the, Prisoner, obs'erved,
that the charge of uttering the note was-cidne away
with against the Prisoner.
Mr. Justice BAILY said, without the-Prosecutors
could prove the Prisoner forged the note in the coy
of Uniion, they could cot support the inditt:Lent.
Mr. COMT,,C,,unsel for the prosecuiion, staied;
that they could prove that one of the 501. notes, re=
ceivecUat the Bank Of "Englaiid, was • traced to the
Prisoner. , • _ -•

Mr. Justice HP.ATir obserted,, that if it was even
proVed,that the Prisoner waszuilty of the forger ,
and 'pertorthed it in Westniinster, yet the p'resent iti
dicttnent could mit be supported, as the count lair the
•act to have been done. in the City of -London.
The Learned JUDGE then informed the Jury there
-was a deficien4 in the evidence, and that they must
acquit the Prisoner.

The Jury returned a 'verdiEt or---,Not Guilty.
• The Pvisoner went out of Court, 'apparently in
high spirits ; he nockled most smiling.ly andlamiliarly
to several persons in Court.
