Mr. Justice ?MIX said, certainly not.
Mr. Sergeant PELL cited the case of Nurse and Craig, in
the New Reports, as perfectly analogous' to the present one

still neither the-husband nor wife could beititnitted as evidence
against each other during the precedency of any put of the

Memoirs of his captivity among the tribes of North
American Indians, and whose fate will he the
subject of my theme, interesting ns these are, have

as their author himself has met with that friend-
ship and regard that one placed in circumstances
sta peculiar as he was, from infancy to the age of
10, having known neither parent nor relative in
this mortal pilgrimage, can never in. Britain, the
-.oetid of patriotism, generosity, aud brotherly
love, fail to secure. Mr. HUNTER'S Memoirs,
iu-
deed, unfold much interesting and affecting in-
formation in regard both to himselland his own
extraordinary life, and to the persecuted, though
noble, anti, t will affirm, virtuous Indian tribes
in North America. From hiMself, however, in

PARIS PAPERS.

( From the Courier Frannie.)
Pettta, Note. 10.—The. English papers assert, that the inde-
pendence of the Spanish colonies in America is acknowledged
in fact by England, that this Power did not choose to wait for
the decisions of the Holy Alliance : and filially, they express
an opinion, that very.soon a Plenipotentiary of an elevated
rank will be sent to those new American States. What will be-
come, after this, of the assertions of the Journal des Debate ?
How is it that the Journal whieh ought to be the best informed,

is that one which gives the most incorrect notions of EuroPean

policy? If the Journal des Debats spoke only its own senti-
ments, its errors would. be of no consequence; but it is the
avowed organ of the influential part of the Ministry, and there-
fore its clisnrableness of opinion, and the small share of
correctness which appears in its communications, become ajusi

subject of reproach against the Ministerial system.
VIENNA, OCT. 31.—1 t must be remarked, says the Aus-
trian Observer, that the Turkish High Admiral has traversed
the Archipelage in his voyage, has stopped before several
islands, which are in open inrurrection against the Porte, such
as Milo, Andros, and Tino; anti that he did not commit the
smallest act of hostility towards them. The Primates of the two
'former sent presents of fruit •and cattle on board the Captain
Poch's'" ship, but he took only the fruit, and immediately paid
for it. At !Vino the' Greek Priests wished also to send the
same sort of things on board, but the people would not per-
mit it, and fired fowling-pieces fur several hours at the Turkish
ships. ' The Captain ' Paella appeared to pay no attention to
this, and never deigned to reply to it. For some time past the
Supreme Government of the insurgent Greeks, or the sot disant
Executive Council, is fixed at Salambe. •It is composed Of
Pietro Bey .Mavromichale, President; Theodore Colcotroni,
Vice-PreSident, and Andre Zaimi, Sotirl Karalambi, and
Andre, Count of Metaxa. Colcotroni had not yet arrived
there. .111:tvrocordito has quarrelled, it is said, with the
other Members of the Council, and has returned to the
Wand of Hydra. In the meantime his office as Secretary-Ge-
neral is filled by a person named Sepihadi. ' Negri is no longer
employed, and is at Athens, and Demetrius Ypsilanti, with-
out possessing any office, lives as a private person at Tripolizza.

PARI,S, Nov. 11—Yesterday the King heard mans in his
apartment. Ills Majesty afterwards transacted business suc-
cessively with the Viscount de Senonnes, Seeretary-Oeneral of
the Royal Household, and his Excellency M. de Villele.
.The following statement is extracted from one of the Bordeaux
Journals, entitled the Memorial liordelais :—" The Count
d'Onate, who has been exiled by the decree of his :Majesty the
King of Spain, and Madame the Countess d'Espinardo, the
widow of Sastago, are, daily expected to arrive with a nume-
rous suite, at Bordeaux, which they have chosen for their
residence."
