GERMAN PAPERS.

VIENNA, FEB. 29.—Accounts from Cracow say that the
President of the Senate has resigned. It was, therefore,
necessary to proceed to a new election, which fell on M.
Haller, a. man who is universally respected, and possesses
considerable property in the territory of Cracow. At this
moment the Republic is tranquil, though all the political
fugitives are not yet removed. The peaceable inhabitants
of Cracow openly express their satisfaction at the change
that has taken place, and vie with each other in marks of
attention to the foreign troops.

CIVIL TRIBUNAL.

(From the Boulogne Journal.)
DICKINSON V. SNELL.

This was action brought by the Reveiend T. G. Dickin-
son, who keeps a school in the High Town, against Mr. J
W. Snell, an English Gentleman, to recover 1,350 f. 75c.
Mr. Marteau conducted the case for the plaintiff, and Mr.
Carmier for the defendant. The case occupied the whole
of Friday, the 19th, but judgment was not given till last
Thursday. It was proved by a written agreement, that the
plaintiff agreed to receive the defendant's son, and instruct
him for sixty pounds per annum, and not make any addi-
tional charge, than the said sixty pounds per annum, either
as extras or otherwise, for five years. The defendant, on
placing his son at school in July, 1834, paid thirty pounds
in advance, being for the first half year, and six months
after he paid another thirty pounds, no bill or receipt was
given. At the time the second sum was paid, the plaintiff
agreed to receive the defendant's wife as his inmate, at the
rate of otie hundred pounds per annum, for a period of not
less than three months certain. The defendant bad occa-
sion to go to England, and it was agreed, whenever it was
convenient for him to join his wife, he should then pay at
the rate of two hundred pounds per annum. Mrs. Snell
had lived in the plaintiff's house nearly three months, when
the defendant returned to Boulogne. The defendant, after
living there about a week, complained that the accommoda-
tion, would not suit bim, and stated he must leave. On
the 4th of May, defendant quitted, Mrs. Snell having lived
there four months. A few days atter the defendant came
over, he was informed Mrs. Dickinson had behaved very
kindly to his daughter, a young lady, about twelve years of
age, at school with Madame Faudier. Mrs. D. had given
her several invitations, calling for her at the school, and in-
ducing the child to return with her from church, but she
had never done so but at the express invitation of Mrs.
Dickinson. The defendant, to cancel this obligation, pre-
sented Mrs. Dickinson with a handsome worked pelenne,
which cost him four pounds. After this a bill for fifty
shillings was sent in at one time, and then altered to fifty
francs another, for those visits. On the 4th of May, the
plaintiff sent in his account, but charging much more than
ras agreed. The defendant sent a check for 986 francs on
Messrs. Adam and Co., for the accommodation afforded
for himself for nineteen days. and Mrs. Snell four months,
stating that the other charges for his children were impro-
per, and he would not pay them, at the same time re-
ferring to the agreement, and noticing that any one would
understand that no extras, whether under the head of extras
or otherwise, should be charged. The plaintiff then stated

to leave the whole matter in dispute to his decision. Mr.
M. carefully looked over the agreement and the notes that
lied passed, and expressed himself satisfied with the defen-
dant's conduct.

The Court ordered Mr. Snell to pay 171 francs 11c., the
other charges not being allowed

CONSTANTINOPLE.

FEB. 10.-Lord Ponsonby met on the 6th inst. the Reis
Effendi in conference at the Porte, and on the following
day despatched a messenger to London. The public has
not yet been able to ascertain officially what motive occa-
sioned this interview. By many persons it is supposed that
the difficulties Colonel Chesnby encountered at Bir on the
part of the local authorities vexed our Ambassador to such
a degree, that he had determined on going in person to the
Porte in order to remonstrate on the subject. These per-
sons are evidently not aware that upon being made ac-
quainted by the English representative with what had oc-
curred at Bir, the Porte sent, it is now ten days since, a
firman to Redschid Mehmet Pasha, enjoining him to take
the steps necessary to prevent the recurrence of circum-
stances so highly disagreeable, and recommending him to
use every means to maintain a friendly intercourse between
the subjects of the Grand Seignor living in his Pashalics
and the Englishmen belonging to the Euphrates expedition.
It is to be presumed that by this time one of the steamers
is on its way to Bussorab.
I have grounds for believing that Lord Ponsonby's chief
object in demanding an interview with the Turkish Minister
of Foreign Affairs was to expose the ruthless canduct of
Ibrahim's Lieutenant at Aleppo towards the British Consul
in that city, and to insist on a reparation of the insult which
the troops under his orders had lately offered to the King
of England's flag.
According to letters received from Aleppo, a fresh levy
of troops was ordered to be made in that city in the begin-
ning of January. A few days after the publication of
Ibrahim's proclamation, the Governor finding that many of
the young men whose names figured on the register of the
individuals.fit for military service had. not made their ap-
pearance, gave orders to the troops to search every house
in town till thy were found. Several of these individuals
belonged to families which from time immemorial had
lived under English protection. Shortly after his arrival
in Syria, Ibrahim having declared that he considered this I
privilege as null, they felt that they could escape the
pursuits of the local authorities only by taking refuge at
the British Consulate, where they were kilidly received by
Mr. Nathaniel Werry. After having vainly looked after
them in their own dwellings, which they forced open, the
soldiers of Ibrahim presented themselves at the glte of the
British Consulate, and told the Consul, on his appearing
before them in full uniform, that unless the individuals who
were concealed in his house were immediately surrendered
up into their hands, they had orders to take them away by
force. Mr. Werry's expostulations were of no avail, the
soldiers rushed into his house, and dragged, in the most
brutal manner, out of their concealment every Syrian they
could lay their hands upon.
Lord Ponsonby has, it is supposed, assured the Porte
that it was quite out of the question to think that England
could allow an insult of this nature to remain unavenged,
and has invited the Porte to give to our Government a re-
paratory satisfaction tantamount to the injury its dignity
has received. How can this, however, be accomplished by
the Porte, unless our Ministry agrees to the removal of the
status quo which it has imposed on Turkey ? It is absurd to
hold the Porte responsible for the acts of the governors of
its provinces, while we deny her the faculty of punishing
them for their misrule.
The frigate and two corvettes forming part of the flotilla
commanded by Tahir Pasha, which had for some time been
missing, arrived here on the 7th instant. Two of the fri-
gates which had been sent last summer to blockade the
coast of Albania returned to port also on the same day.
The Turkish fleet is not dismantled—on the contrary,
every ship in the harbour is kept ready to put to sea within
three days' notice.
Austria has lately had occasion to repent having allowed
Russia to take possession of the islands at the mouth of the
Danube. The Danube Steam Navigation Company having
sought, for the convenience of the vessels which are to keep
up the communication between Galacz and Constantinople,
to establish a depot of coals on the island formed by the
Soulina and the St. George branch of the river, the Russians
have objected to the formation of a similar establishment,
Art. 3 of the treaty of Adrianople stipulating, that " a
• partir du point ou Ic bras de St. Georges se separe de celui
de Soulina demeurcra inhabite a la distance des deux heures
de fle.uve, et qu'il n'y sera forme d'etablissement d'aucune
espece, et que de meme sur les isles qui resteront en pos-
scss'on de la Cour de Russie a l'exception des quarantaines
qui'y seront etablies, it ne sera permis d'y faire.aucun autre
etablissement."

The Mussulman i.oputation of this city was lately rouses
out of its habitual apathy by the report that Dervish Ali
the most renowned among the Velis, or saints, in Turkey
had been stopped on his way to Mecca, and been brought
back in chains to Constantinople, and thrown, by order
of the foremost among his patrons, the Seraskier, into
the dungeon where the most guilty criminals are usually
confined. For some days it was believed that the
treatment to which the holy pilgrim had been ex-
posed was but one of those castigations to which
Providence is pleased occasionally to subject the just
and virtuous, and it was inferred that upon beinti
brought to triel it would be an easy task for him triumph.
antly to prove his innocence, and cause his light to shine
with increased effulgence before me. To the utter dismay
and surprise of the numerous auditory collected on so
interesting an occasion, the nature of the evidence brought
in proof of the accusations laid against Dervish Ali
was so irrccusable, that, not daring to venture a
single word in his own defence, he merely recom-
mended himself to the mercy of his Judge. It re-
sulted from his own confessions that, after obtaining
the Sultan's permission to proceed to the tomb of the
Prophet, he advanced several:days' journey into the inte-
rior of Asia Minor, and, changing his dress for that
of a Pacha, assumed the name of Altik Ali Pacha. A
magnificent diamond order, once the property of Sayd
Pacha, appended to his breast close to a decoration
similar to those given by the Sultan to those of his
grandees who have rendered important services to
the empire, and a firman, signed by the Seraskier, rea-
dily insured, wherever he presented himself, the most
obsequious reception, the blindest submission to his com-
mands. In compliance with the secret instructions given
him by Government he raised in a few weeks a considerable
body of troops, and laid heavy contributions on every district
through which he judged most proper to pass. Unfortu-
nately for the rising fortunes of the Pa'cha, Essad Effendi,
the Sultan's Envoy to the Court of Persia, happened to:ar-
rive with his suite at a small village not far distant from Si-
vas; where the former had taken up his quarters on the pre-
ceding eve. The Motisselim, while making his apoligics to the
Envoy fol not giving-him an accommodation due to his rank,
had naturally repeated occasion to mention the name of fiis
other guest, the Pacha. He could hardly recover from his
surprise upon hearing Essad Effendi assure him that he not
only did not know, but, moreover, had never heard of a Pacha
of the name he mentioned. The very suppositiOn of such a
circumstance, he added, appeared to him totally inadmissible.
Having up to the day of his departure for Persia acted bolls
as historiographer of the Sult4p and editor of the official
.Ga-
zette, he assuredly ought to be familiar with the name of every
Pitch in existence. Finding, however, that all his assurances
went but a little way in changing the Mousselin's opinions,
he offqed to send his brother, Teftli Bey, to wait on this
distinguished guest, positively to ascertain who he was,
whether perchance, he was not a person who, entrusted
with a secret mission, had assumed this unheard of name, in
order to avoid discovery. Tafeli Bey, who on more than
one occasion had seen Dervish Ali when at Stamboul rea-
dily recognized him, but had tact enough not to betray the
slightest sign of surprise in witnessing the transmutation
he had undergone- On the contrary, he was during the
whole time of his visit so prodigal of Zemenahs, so hum-
ble in his prostrations, that Ali felt satisfied that his arts
of deception had produced as complete an effect on the
Constantinopolitap cockney as on the Asiatic boor—the
Mousselim. Upon hearing his brother's report, Essad
Effendi informed the Governor that it was his inten-
tion forthwith to acquaint the Porte of this sharper's
proceedings, and declared to him that unless, he ar-
rested him he would have to answer for his negli-
gence. The task of arresting him was, however, one
attended with no trifling difficulty. Dervish Ali had
no less than fifteen hundred men under his orders, the
Mousselim but twenty cavishes, or policemen, of some-
what dubious volour. It became necessary to try how far,
under similar circumstances, the saying " plus fait douceur
que violence," might be applicable. A superb snuff-box
was sent him as a present by Essad Effendi, along with a
request to meet him at dinner at the Governor's. So flattering
and flowery were the terms in which the note was couched,
that AR could not but accept the invitation. Nothing had
been spared that could add to the brilliancy of the entertain-
ment, nothing neglected which could entrance the comfort
of the guests. The greater part of the night was spent enter
pocula et joces, with so much glee that a sense of decorum
could not allow the host to permit that his guests should
return home in the un-Mussulman condition to which the
juice of the vine had reduced them. Altik Ali Pacha
was laid to bed, to awaken out of the dreams of hapness,
in which his mind luxuriated, to the appalling conscpiious-
ness of being
fetter-bound and doomed to be sent to the
capital. It is not known yet to what fate justice reserves
him. A few days he was promdted from his situation in the
Seraskier's dungeon to one in the galleys.

On Saturday morning the wives of the prisoners un-
der conviction for the Cusiom-house robbery were permitted
to visit their husbands in Newgate. One of-those who availed
herself of this privilege was Seale's wife, who went there soon
after ten o'clock on the above morning. She had a long in-
terview with her husband, and appeared to be very much
affected on being apprised by him that it Was probable he would
be transported for life. She afterwards proceeded home, but had
scarcely entered the house where she had been lodging since
her husband's incarceration, when she dropped down and
almost instantaneously expired.

EXETER ADDRESS TO HIS
MAJESTY.

On Monday we very briefly noticed the excellent and
Loyal Address of the Exeter Town Council. This sen-
sible and spirited expression of public sentiment was adopted
on Tuesday on the motion of Mr. It. Bastard, seconded by
Mr. Snell, and supported by a strong muster of Reformers,
among whom honourable mention ought to be made of Mr.
Mark Kennaway. This gentleman, in supporting the
Address, argued with singular force and eloquence ; nor
did he fail to apply to the Tories of the town a castiga-
tion to the full as merited as it was searchingly severe.
We regret that the pressure of Parliamentary and other
matter will not allow us to give insertion to a report of the
proceedings. We regard the• carrying of the Address as
specially worthy of notice, since it affords decisive evidence
of the weakness of the Conservatives, even in their old
strongholds.' It appears from the report of the proceedings
in the Western Times, now lying before us, that the illiberal,
or, as they call themselves, " Conservative" members of the
Exeter Town Council, wished very much to stifle the natu-
ral and proper expression of gratitude to his Majesty for
reforming the corrupt corporations (that of Exeter was
among the most corrupt) ; but they had not the courage to
try their strength. The soi-disant lip-loyal gentlemen were
willing to wound, and yet afraid to strike ; and accordingly
we find them resorting to pitiful shifts, to miserable pettifog-
ging evasions, worthy of the practice only of the Old Bailey.
Their defence proved their guilt. They denied any dis-
loyal intention to withhold thanks from his Majesty.
They were fully prepared to thank the King for Munici-
pal Reform, but they refused to thank his Ministers
who effected it. They attempted to evade the expression
of gratitude to the men who actually worked tho good—to
the men who framed, introduced, and carried into effect
that great and beneficial measure of Municipal Reform, to
which the King did no more than give his Royal assent.
The Tories are the same everywhere ; they are the Evil
Spirits of the world, who mask their hatred of good and
reformed institutions with some form or shew of attachment
to King, Monarch, or Emperor, in order only the more ef-
fectually to poison the sources of social improvement and
human happiness. The Tory Town Councillors of Exeter
must, however, eventually be destroyed by the better and
more liberal influences now abroad there ; nothing more is
wanting to their complete destiluction than well-directed
efforts similar to those the Liberals, made on Tuesday.
They cannot long withstand that mighty current of opinion,
;he force of which is now felt more or less in every part of
he world.
