" To THE PRESIDENT .OF THE COURT OF ASSIZES.

" The Procureur-General has the honour to point out, that
from information which he has received, it results that the Con-
stit utionnel, the Courier, the Journal du Commerce, and the
Pilate, have reported the proceedings of the Court of Assizes
in the affair of La Rochelle, and particularly the proceedings on
the sth of this month, not only incorrectly, but obviously with
bad faith.

"In consequence he requests that the President will be
pleased to order the responsible Editors of the above-named
..tournals to be cited on the earliest day, that the 7th article of
the law4pf the 22d March, 1822, may be applied to them, and
in execution of the 15th and 16th articles of the same law, and
this without prejudice to the more severe penaltiei, which may
be inflicted on account of defamation, or of injury committed
against the Tribunals, or on account of any other crime forbidden
by the law."—(Constitutionnel.)

We learn from Marseilles that M. Lepide-
Compolis, at the head of twenty German officers
and two Poles, embarked at that town to repair
to Greece, his native country. The officers were
All well armed and equipped by the societies of

makes new elibrts in favour of the Greeks:

The Moniteur of Saturday contains the follow
Lug Ordinance : _ _

'`• In pursuance of the report. made by the Director-General
of the Customs, on the arrival at Havre of the American ship
Mary, from the United States, with a cargo of leaf. tobacco, and
on the necessity in which the said vessel was placed of putting.,
again to sea, if, in order to be admitted into the port of ,Havre,
:she should be obliged to pay the duty of 90 francs per ton,
which, according to the terms of the convention of the 24th of
-June last, and of the ordinance of the 3d of September, do not
cease to be demandable until the Ist of October next, his Ex-
cellency the Minister of Finance has on the 4th of September
issued the following order :
• Considering that if the interest of our commerce requires
that Amercan ships shall not enjoy in France the full effect
of the Convention of the 24th of June, until the epoch in
which French ships ships shall enjoy the same in the United
States, it would nevertheless be contrary to the sentiments of
reciprocal benevolence which unite the two nations, if, by a rigo-
rous application of subsisting regulation, the vessels of a friendly
Power should be placed under the alternative of submitting to
extraordinary duties, the operation of which is about to expire,
Or of exposing themselves by keeping out at sea, particularly at
this season, to risks which an act of ligitimate condescendence
might enable them to avoid—the American ship Mary shall
therefore be permitted to enter and lie in the port and basins
of Havre, there to await the epoch of the Ist of October,
at which period the regulations of his Majesty's Ordinance of
the 3d instant have effect ; for which purpose the said ship
shall merely deposit her manifest at the custom-house, and
shall, until the before-mentioned epoch, be relieved from the
necessity of making declarations, and observing other forum-
lities, the performance of which is by the general laws pre-
scribed within determined periods.
The present decision shall be applicable to all ships from
the United States which may arrive at French ports before the
Ist of October.'

" The Secretary-General of the Customs has transmitted to
all the out-ports orders conformable with the above decision."
CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 10.—Et •is said that
the French Ambassador, M. de
,Latour Mau-
bourg, has complained to the Reis-Effendi, that
he had not received an official copy of the Notes
of the Porte, of the 16th July, relative to the
nomination of the Hos,podars. The Reis-Effendi
replied, that'•this note was destined only for the
. .

Ministers of the Mediating Powers, and that it

bad not been communicated even to Russia.—
Lord Strangford proposed to the Porte to give a
direct reply to Russia, but the Reis-Effendi
refused.
BUCIIIREST, AUG. 14.—There is nothing new
here;' but the discovery of combustible matters
placed under the houses, has spread a general
panic.

WARSAW, AUG. 21.—The Jews who carry on
the trade of liquors are not to enjoy this privi-
lege lonaer than a year. In consequence they
are forced at present to supply liquor on credit;
the peasant who contracts debts with the Jews
on this score will not be obliged to pay them.
SEMLIN, AUG. 23.—Letters from Vitoglia of
.the 9th August inform us that Chourschid Pacha
.nuived at Larissa after his defeat, on the 20th of
June, where he was joined by his reserve, and
again marched to Zittoni with 30,000 men.—
The facility with which the Turkish militia is
assembled makes this fact appear probable.
The same letters add that he was defeated a.
-second time on the 26th July, but we must
wait for more certain and circumstantial intel-

ligence.
Captains Tassis and Diamanthy, disembarking
at Platamore, near Mount Olympus, on their
return from Cassandra, summoned the moon-
.taineers to arms, and advanced at the head of
15,000 men to Servizia, between Larissa and
Janina.
The Pacha of Belgrade has received intelli-
-gence,of his .son, employed in the army opposed

* NOTES OF THE FRENCH EDITOR.-01H readers are
informed that the Spectateur Oriental is published at Smyrna,
under the inspection of the magistracy, and is not a pure and
authentic source of news from Greece. It is, however, less
bitter against the unfortunate Greeks than a certain official
Journal of Germany ; it sometimes gives us a glimpse of facts
which make no doubt of the ultimate success of the oppres-
sors of the Greeks, and it gives circumstantial details which
appear gathered on the spot. From this circumstance it is
our duty to communicate these extracts from this Journal
to our readers, though they are contrary to our wishes. To
conceal the news which displeases us, to fabricate vic-
tories in favour of those persons whose cause we support,
would perhaps be more easy for us than for many other Editors
of Journals, but it would not find a single approval among
those enlightened and well instructed men who read our Paper,
and know our impartiality.
t We must request our readers to observe this date. The state
-of things has changed considerably since then. The capture
of Napoli de Romani, confirmed by the Spectatcur, has given
the Peloponnesians a military point of support very import-
ant, and which corresponds with the citadel of Corinth, natu-
rally very strong. Master of these two positions, an army
might maintain itself for a long time in the Isthmus of Corinth.
But a vigorous resistance on the part of the Greeks in the
mountains of Thessaly, Etolia and Phocida, would even pre-
vent the Turks from approaching the entry to the Pelopon-
nesians. Neither the reported victories of Chourschid Pacha,
nor of the Greeks being confirmed, seems to prove that they
are still fighting in small detachments, and with balanced suc-
cess in these mountainous countries, so favourable to an army
like that of the Greeks, composed of riflemen and partisans.
In such a situation courage may dispense with discipline. We
may hope, therefore, to see the Mahomedan army stopped be-
fore it reach Livadia.
The warlike Albanians, however, keep the passes of the
mountains in their hands; if more enlightened it would seize
this moment to ensure their own independence, in taking part
with the Greeks; but corrupted and greedy of gold, the Alba-
nians will probably endeavour ,o betray both the Turks and
the Greeks to gain subsides and booty. If the Albanians
continue die system which they have hitherto pursued the cam-
paign will be tedious and slowly brought to a conclusion.
