morrow :

The Assize Court of Paris was occupied the
whole of Thursday. in hearing the pleadings of
counsel in the complaint made against the editors
of four newspapers for having " published a ma-
licious and unfaithful report" 'of part of the pro-
ceedings in the trial of the Rochelle Conspiracy.
The four papers charged were the Constitutionnel,
the Journal du Commerce, the Courier Frangais,
and the Pilote. There is one most extraordinary
feature in the proceedings—that the Attorney-
General's Deputy did not think it necessary to
prove that the passage charged as unfaithful was
unfaithful, nor argue that such infidelity, must
have originated in malicious motives. He con-
tented himself by saying, that as the Attorney-
General was part of the Court, his mere declara-
tion that the passage was incorrect and malicious
was sufficient. The counsel for the journals
spoke with great zeal and ability, but without
effect ; for the Court, after a sitting which, with
a short interval of adjournment, lasted from two
o'clock in the afternoon till a quarter past one
the next morning, passed the following sentence
(which they had been deliberating upon from
ten till a quarter past one :)—M. G vise, the
Editor of the Constitutionnel, and. M. Faucillon,
the Editor of the Journal du Commerce, were
sentenced (each) to one year's imprisonment, and
a fine of 5,000 francs.
M. Legracieux, the Editor of the Courier
Frangais, to six month's imprisonment and a fine
of 3,000 francs. M. Cassano, the Editor of the
Pilote, to one month's imprisonment and a fine of
1,000 francs.
The four journals are also forbidden to publish
any reports of judicial proceedings—the two
former for the space of a year; the third for six
months; and the last for three months.

They are condemned in costs in nearly the
same proportion. The two first to pay a third ;
the third two ninths ; and the last one ninth.—
The papers containing the account complained
of are to be seized.

This proceeding was instituted under the new
law passed in March last; the law is cruel
enough in itself,' but the mode of administering
it, by making a charge of an interested party
tantamount to sworn proof, shows how ignorant
our neighbours are of even the first elements of
civil liberty and criminal justice.

Viscount Chateaubriand arrived at Paris on
the 12th. He will not set out for Verona till
the commencement of the ensuing week.
The illoniteur of yesterday contains a Royal
Ordinance, appointing the Secretary of State for
the Department of Justice to take charge of the
affairs of the interior, during the indisposition of
the Minister of that department.

[From the Austrian Observer of Sept. 2.]
VIENNA, SEPT. I.—Accounts from Zante from
the 4th to 22d July, furnish us with data respect-
ing the military operations in Albania and the
neighbouring countries, which differ in no mate-
rial particular from those- received from Corfu
and Constantinople (in the Observer of the 16th
and 29th August), but complete and confirm them
in many points. So long as the latest. operations
of the Turks against the Morea cannot be viewed
in their full extent, we shall not permit ourselves
to draw hasty conclusions from individual reports,
even though they should, like the present ones,
deserve entire confidence. The following extracts
from these reports will however enable judicious
readers to form an opinion on the true state of
things :

Chourschid had long hoped to end the war in Albania by the
taking of Suli, and the entire subjection of the Suliots. He was
more than once near to attaining his object; the Suliots, like
the other Albanian tribes, are no friends to the Greeks ; they
have merely taken advantage of their aid, without having the
least share in their insurrection, to sell their submission to the,
Turks as dear as possible, and would long since have returned
to their obedience had the terms they asked been granted them.
At the beginning of June they were so pressed on all sides, and
in such want of provisions, that they declared themselves will-
ing to capitulate, and Chourschid' really expected on the 7th of
Jima, to accomplish the capitulation before Sidi, which he
blockaded. But just at this time the insurgents again pro-
mised the most effective assistance ; all Albania was to be soon
conquered ; the Suliots believed these brilliant promises, and
the negotiations were broken off Chourschid, thinking his
presence more necessary in Thessaly, where he had meantime
collected numerous corps, left the further conduct of the cam-
paign to Omer Pacha and Mehmed Pacha, left Joahnina on
the 17th of June, and proceeded by way of Trikala to Larissa:
Meantime, Maurocordato had sent from Missolongi several
small corps, partly by the route of Arta, and partly by sea, to
land between Prevesa and Parga. He entrusted the main ex-
pedition for the relief of Suli to Marco Bozzari, an enterprising
and able partisan, who really advanced as far as Carvassera,
but was there repulsed and obliged to take a position in the
mountains of Chimrnra and Combotti, near Arta. Omer
Pacha here attacked the insurgents about the middle of July
at Placca, and afterwards at Patta, and defeated them in two
decisive actions. Maurocordato fled precipitately with Bozzari,
who was severely wounded in the arm, and sought to reach
Missolongi by way of Vrachori and Landacco. The remains
of the insurgents dispersed in the mountains, where they may
indeed for a time carry on a petty,.warfare, but can undertake
nothing of importance, and especially not hinder Omer Pacha
from marching against Missolongi ; since, after the late battles,
he had collected at Arta. his lylinle force, amounting to 15,000
men.

The maritime operations of Maurocordato were not more for-
tunate. The troops landed near Fanari (between Prevesa and
Parga), estimated at about 1,500 men, made at first some pro-
gress, which not only encouraged the Suliots to farther.resist-
ance, but induced some of the former. inhabitants of Parga; o
their misfortune, to repair from Corfu to Epirus. Soon things
took another turn. The Samiotes, upited with the Turkish
garrison of Glisri, totally defeated the insurgents, and all those
who had joined them, in a sanguinary battle,.hi which, among
other persons, the brother of the Bey of Maim, a man of impor-
tance, lost his life. Ile was solemnly interred at Missolongi,
on the 20th July.
Before Patras the affairs of the insurgents were in no better
condition. Colocotroni, who directed the blockade of this most
important place, was placed in such a situation by the insubor-
dination and jealousy bf his companions in arms, that he formed
himself a body guard of 300 men to be safe from assassination.
Ile sent one message after another to the Senate to ask rein-
forcements, and was answered that the troops were wanted else-
where. After a violent dispute with the Treasurer Landi, he
retired with his body guard to Gastuni. Immediately after
this Mehmed, Pacha of Patras, attacked the Greek camp on all
sides, and forced the Chiliarch, Petimessa, to retreat into an
old half ruined fort, where he will probably be soon obliged to
surrender.

The plan with which Chourschid Paella began his operations
in Thessaly was to penetrate through Livadia against the Penin-
sula, and to march directly to Tripolizza. A part of this plan is

Thyexecuted. This march through the defiles which separate
saly from Livudia seems to have been facilitated by the defect 2
of Odysseus. This Chief, long at variance with the Senate
