A singular case has lately come under the
decision of the Police Magistrates, A Mr.
Lawford, a respectable boultseller in St. James's,
has been fined for refusing to take cognizance
of charges brought before him as constable of
the night. Mr. Lawford claimed the right of
exercising a certain discretion in such cases,
and upon being over-ruled by the Magistrates,
gave notice of his intention to appeal against
their decision. We know not whether to wish
success or not to this spirited individual. He
is at all events actuated by the best feeling in
his opposition upon this occasion. The autho-
rity of the intolerably ignorant guardians of
the night is already almost insupportable in a
free city ; and if there is to be no check upon the
caprice of watchmen in the discharge of their
high functions, our condition will be almost as
bad as that of a province under the operation of
the Insurrection Act. The personal liberty of
the subject will be reduced to a low ebb when
every man who has the intrepidity to be out after
dark may be dragged through the streets, and
laid by the heels like a felon at the discretion of
these lantern and bludgeon Justices of the Peace.
Mr. Lawford states upon his experience of the
office, that no street in the parish would be
large enough to contain the unhappy prisoners
who are nightly collared in their passage through
the streets by • these- Parish Dogberries.—(lbid.)

IEMORNING POST.] •
French Papers to the. 31st ult. with the Etoile
of Monday, reached us last night, by express.
It is now stated More positively than before, that
Conferences were really held at St. Petersburgh
between the Ministers of Russia, Austria, France,
and Prussia, relative to the affairs of Greece, and
that the result was communicated to the 13-,rte
_by means of a Note signed by all those Minis-
ters. This probably contained some proposal
for placing a Christian Prince (young Gustavus,
most likely), at the head of Greece, under the
title of Grand Duke or Viceroy, in order to
:preserve • a nominal sovereignty for the Porte.
.But whatever the proposals might he, they
were instantly rejected with the hauteur pe-
culiar to the Ottomans, and without the formality
of a written answer, the Reis Effendi verbally
decaring to each Ambassador that the Porte
must decline all. intervention in that affair as dero-
gatory to its dignity. It is not very long, how-
ever, since the language of the Turkish Go-
vernment, or if not its language, since its con-
duct was widely different. For when the Rus-
sian armies were encamped on the !milks of the
Pruth, the Porte, with all its sense of dignity,
felt no hesitation in claiming the interfer-
ence, if not,the protection, of the British Mi-
nister. Now, however, that it has ceased i o feat'
the.power, it derides the counsels and reinon-
straticeS of Christian Sovereigns. It would appear,
however, that those'sovereigns were more serious
on this occasion, than the Divan, judging . from
their.former supineness and indifference, is will-
ing to suppose. Even the Quolidienne now de-
clares, that the declaration of the Ministers of
the Allied Power must have grave results, and
tnust, sooner or „later reduce LAI-isnot) Europe to
the necessity of declaring war to the Ottoman
Empire, if she wishes to staunch the effusion of
blood, rind to restore some kind of order in the
provinces inhabited by the .Greeks. There is no
:doubt that affairs will come to this point some
,cioy or, .othOr, awn only Will those of Greece
'he arranged, if it. be. possible to arrange thi,m."
Meanwhile the events of the campaign continue to
assume a more favciUrable appearance, and little
doubt remains of the siege of Missalonghi having
'been raised in consequence of General Goura's
victory at Salona, and of his advance on the rear
of Redschid's army. This information is chiefly
derived from the following accounts, dated Mis-
soloughi, June 22.:—" The Seraskier, Redschid
Pacha, has- raised the siege of Missoloughi, in
consequence of the events 'which have taken
place at -Salona, and has gone to V rachori. It
is said that the desertion of the Albanian troops
has much 'increased on the news of the defeat of
the Captain Pacha, who was to .have brought
provisions and ammunition to the Turkish camp
before Missolonghi.—Accounts from the Morea
state, that ColoCotroni has already had on en,
gag'ement at St. Fiore with Ibrahim Pacha, and
that the latter has sustained a considerable loss.

[NEW. TIMES.]
It was yesterday evening _asserted that letters
from Trieste of the 19th instant, had brought in-
telligence of the capture of Tripolizza by the
Turks. Our advises from Trieste-come down to
the,2oth, li.ut they contain no mention of that
news. From a different- source, however, we
samehave the report, with some important addi-
tions„li Small vessel reached Marseilles from
" Malta,. kinging letters from Zante, of the 30th of
• June. They state, in substance, that the Turkish
forces had taken Tripolizza ; and- in revenge
'for some..'•otitrages of the Greeks, had- burnt -it
to the ground. • They add. that the 'advanced
gOard'of Ibrahani -Pasha was within a short- dis:
tatice,of Napoli- de Romania. The Turlcs. are
Said to be in possession of Calarnata and anti-
(her'town.iti.thatneighbourbood; and the
. com-
bined effect -of all this- disastrous intelligence
-has. been -to reduce the unahppy Moreotes to
to a state -of despair. •Without crediting
these 'accounts to their full extent, we tnay
.easily believe that the affairs •of the 'Greek
Covertiment must have been in
..a very critical
State„ when MaurocordatO,- a man of superior
intellect and information, could find himself under
tbe necessity of releasing. his deadly-enemy, Colo-
: cotroni, who is little, better. than a chief of ban-
ditti. The first use 'that Corocetrotii is said to
hive *de of his liberty, was to behead MauroT.
' cordato. How true this may• be we -know not.
At MI -eVentS, Maurocordato has disappeared, and
Colocoirotir has assumed the' powers Of a-DiCta-

, • . .4THE PUBLIC LF.DGEK.I
Aceord.iog'.to ,the botch roper's; the face:of
th'hii;"s.lll•Wester'n Greece was fully as; gloomy as

it was in the Morea. Solona, the most important
place in that province, next to Missolonghi, has
been taken by the forces of Redschid Pacha,
without the least resistance ; and all that Gene-
ral Goura could do was, to save the women and
children, before the enemy entered the place.
This statement is given on the authority of a
Greek Journal, and the account of its re-capture
was a mere fable, invented by the friends of the
Greeks. Farther to the East, Beotia and
Attica, were overrun by the Pacha of the Ne-
gropout, who threatened Athens with a hostile
visit, where no adequate preparations to give him
a suitable reception seem to have been mae ; and
it is a melancholy truth, that the pecuniary as-
sistance furnished by this country to the Greeks
has produced no corresponding exertions on their
part. To the West, the Seraskier Redschid Pacha
was thundering at the gates of Missolonghi at the
head of 20,000 men, and he was preparing, at the
date of the last accounts, to take it by assault, hay-
ing already made, it is said, practicable breaches
in the walls. This success would be the more to be
regretted, as it is stated that he has positive orders
not to leave one stone standing upon another in
the event of his capturing a place, which may
be called the last bulwark of Western Greece.
We have been trying for some time to prepare
the Public mind for these reverses ; and our ef-
forts have not been altogether unavailing, not-
withstanding the system of delusion kept up by
most of our cotemporaries. The shock which
would otherwise have taken place, when the
truth came to be fully known, will be thus
broken ; and, in the mean time, it is but too
clear that the Greeks have not in themselves the
means of averting the ruin with which they are
menaced. We shall see what the Christian Go-
vernments mean to do for them !
