We pUblished,in our lait number another trial
of a Policeman for the murder of • a peasant in
behind. The sting frond with which these gen-
tlFkmen peepetrate their crimes is frightful. We
could instance•half a dozen cases that have come,
before the public within a short time, all marked
ty precisely the same circumstances, and in .all
of which the culprits have escaped with impu-
nity, loaded with testimonials of good character
from the neighbouring gentry ; indeed, from
these appearances, one would be inclined to in-
that the very best men in Ireland were the
homicides. The usual method of proceeding in
the CMPS alluded to, is this—The Police attempt
to apprehend a man ; he runs away, and they
theothim through the head with as much indif-
ference as they would shoot a partridge. Some-
thing of the sporting law, indeed, seems to regu,
late, the butchery, for we observe that, as with
ether sportsmen, there appears to he an etiquette
that they should shoot their prey flying.

[MORNING; POST.]
Brussels Papers to the 21st, Amsterdam to
the 10th, and Hamburgh to the 14th instant,
reached us lost night. Their contents aro not
important. Austria seems desirous of postponing
the evacuation. of the kingdom of Naples till
next year. The Russian Government is said to
11111/0 obtained from the Porte, that its ships
coining from the Black Sea shookd proceed into
the Archipelago or -the Mediterranean without
being visited. Prince 'Wolckonsky died at St.
Petershurgh on the 20th ult. It is said that the
King of Bavaria is to have an interview
.with the
Emperor of Austria next month at Sehoenbrunn,
and that later in the season his Imperial Majesty
will meet the King of Sardinia at Milan.

[BRITISH PR ESS.3

By the Fland;rs Mail which arrived yesterday,
ree have received the Brussels Papers of Friday
last.—They contain the liberal decree of the
King of the Netherlands, for the admission of
British vessels on the same terms as those under
the national flag, until the conclusion of the
commercial treaty negociating between the two
countries. We have already given the substance
of this decree.—By the news from Vienna it ap.
pars that the military occupation of Naples by
the Austrians is to be terminated the beginning
of next year, " unless unforeseen events should
feeder it necessary for the troops to remain
longer." Independently of all the other con.
siderations which lead us to condemn and
regret the prolonged subjection of Naples
as an Austrian province, we find that the
Austrians avail themselves of their power over
that country, to manifest their hatred of
the Greeks, by cutting off all communica-
tion het ween them and the Neapolitan people.
No Goveintnent has shewn a spirit of more deadly
hostility against the Greeks than the Austrians.
Its agents in Greece have been employed in
creating and fomenting internal discord. The
insubordination of the Capiiuni was mainly owing
to the intrigues of Austrian emissaries. In no
country, not even in England, has the Greek in-
surrection more enthusiastic or numerous friend?
Ihsti 'in 'ltaly. '[lto sovereign' Pontiff anti the
Roman Clergy have offered up their prayers for
its success. The religious zeal of the Italians
induced them to regard the contest with the Ma-
itometans as a holy war ; 'as.d, forgetting their
iticlent jealousy Of the Greek Church, they have.
since the Commencement of the struggle, shewn
tha utmost anxiety for the triumph of the Cross
b'ver its barbarian enemies. This feeling has
iioubticis been considerably repressed by the
presence of the Austrians in Naples, but it can-
-1414 be-extinguished. If they were oithdrawn
v.te should soon witness a cheering display of the
sentiments of-the Italians ; and the knowledge of
those sentiments will probably, when the period
iffriVes, cotrititute another reason for not with-
drawing the " protection" of the Austrians frorti
that country.
