_ l!krnished to him by the directions of Lachford, and with
aview that Ile should be thereby enabled to obtain some know-
tekndge of the BiShop's name and address, which were still un-
own to him.. The note was writen by the Bishop, and by

sent to the person and place to whom and where it
ddirected.—Latchford retained the note. 'lt was not
obusiness to admit the Bishop to bail—he could not

luested and nzged Latchford to send the. note as directed.

tStellford informed him he did not, and could not, send it. The
ishop again-and again pressed him to do so, and in an earnest
supplicating tone of voice cried out and said, " For God's

to evidence, and before the Court. That note has been exhi-

"P. C.

Our Foreign Intelligence consists of extracts
from,the Paris Papers to the sth inst., and from
Bayonne Papers to the 30th ult.
An article from Frankfort alleges that the
King of NAPLES entertains the design of abdi-
cating his Crown, and retiring to Austria.
The accounts from Spain are still indecisive,
vague, and contradictory. We remarked se-
veral weeks since that it seemed to be the
plan of MINA to avoid a general engagement,
until the projected enlargement of the army
should furnish him with strong reinforcements,
and that in the mean time he. was occupied in
securing the' possession of commanding positions,
that. should enable him, when the proper time
arrived, to terminate the civil war with Certainty
and dispatch. From the latest intelligence, it
appears that this is the course of operations
which MINA has actually adopted. Some
considerable time, therefore, will still pro-
bably elapse, before we receive the news of
any important military achievement. It must
be from the consciousness of weakness, or
from the want of skill, that the. Royalists suffer
MINA to mature his.,plan—jt-Alvay,4e -able to
Cope with him, it is oovtously their interest to
'force him to a general battle without loss of time.
The news from • Zante informs us that the
TUrks have at length avowed their determina-
tion to exterminate the Greeks ! A firman of the
Grand SEIGNon had been addressed to the Pacha
of LEpANTCr, commanding every ,one of the Faith-
ful to put every infidel Christian to death who
should ask quarter, prohibiting Christian cap-
tives from being sold as slaves, and ordering them
to be destroyed ! ." The clays of favour for
the impious race of the Nazarenes being
passed, never again to be revived, the Only
One God and his Prophet have ordered
it thus at present and for the future !" The
first effect of this order was the inhuman
butchery of a ,great number of Christian
families detained. in the Castle of Lepanto.—
Cuounscuto also has murdered four Greek
Archbishops, because ODYSSEUS would not suffer
them to pass into the Morea, whither they had
been ordered to proceed by the Pacha, for the
purpose of persuading the population to submit,
to the Porte ! How long are these inhuman atroci-
ties to be tolerated by the Christian Governments
of Europe ! When will they awaken the Chris.
