CASE OF MR.' O'CALLAGHAN.

Mr. ALLEN,
,the Magistrate, having seen in the
Newspapers of Sattinlay last an account of a case under the head
of Mansion House," in which the Lord Mayor was represent-
ed as having made some observations which Mr. Allen thought
demanded an explanation, he addressed a letter to his Lord-
ship, requesting to know whether the objectionable words had
been used.—Mr. Allen conceived that the words attributed to
his Lordship, and which related to the sentence upon Mr.
O'Callaghan, directly affected his own character, in common
with these of the Surrey Magistrates who presided at the trial
at the Sessions House at ,Newuneton.
The Lord Mayor replied, that any words stating that he
threw the slightest imputation upon the Mindstrates werelneere
rect ; that the case which he had been hearing was .one of
an aggravated assault upon a female, and drew from Mtn
a comparison between the punishment which Mr. O'Callaghan
was undergoing for having shown a desire to protect ladies,
and the indulgence with which the fellow before him (the Lord
Mayor) was treated by a female, Whom the defendant had
so grossly assaulted. His Lordship added, tthat there was, at
the time the case alluded to was going forward, a good deal of
bustle and confusion in the Justice Room—a circumstance that
might account for some inaccuracy.
This statement fully satisfied Mr. Allen, who afterwards
waited upon die Lord Mayor, and stated to his Lordship, what
had been given in evidence upon the trial of Mr. O'Callaghan,
according to the notes of Lord Eastnor, which notes had been
submitted to the Secretary of State, and had determined that
Gentleman not to interfere for the remission of the sentence..—
The following is Mr. Allen's abstract of the case, as it was
taken down anti repeated to the Jury
Mr. Saurin, and a young man of singularly good manners,
whose name did not immediately occur to him, were returning
to town from Deptford on the 29th of April last, from the Dis,
covery ships at Greenwich, on horseback. I Ypon the Deptford-
road, a chariot with pest-horses passed them ; Mrs. Boyle,
Mrs. Thelwall, her daughter, and another Lady were in the
chariot ; Mr. Boyle and Mr. O'Callaghan' were in the back
seat. In the course of going the same road, the Gentlemen on
horseback passed or were passed by the carriage' two or three
times. Mrs. Thelwall, Mrs. Boyle, and Mr. Boyle-severally
swore that Mr. Saurin and his companion looked impertinently
anthem; but not one of them said that either of the young
men smiled, spoke, or made any gesture whatever. towards
them. Mr. Saurin and his companion were paseing or passed
by the carriage a second or third time (111 r. Allen ,did not et.
actly recollect which), when Mr. O'Callaghan called out to
Mr. Saurin that he was a scoundrel, or words to that effect,
and desired Mr. Saurin to come to him. Mr. Saurin and his
friend, however, as they stated, not wishing to hold any inter.
course with a person of such extraordinary appearance and man-
ner as Mr. O'Callaghan, did that which all other men of sense
would have done under similar circumstances—rode away. It,
however, unfortunately happened, that while they were paying
the toll the carriage came up, and without the least delay or re-
monstrance Mr. O'Callaghan leaped from behind, might hold
of the bridle of Mr. Saurin's horse, snatched a stick from his
band and began to beat him violently, using at the acme thus
the most opprobrious language towards him and demanding his
card. Mr. Saurin not wishing to be kntiivn 'as a clergyman,
as he was (although accidentally) embroiled in a quarrel, toethe Word Reverend from his card, which he immediately
handed to his assailant. Mr. Thclwall, who was in another
carriage, had by this time joined Mr. O'Callaglien.—lie im.
mediately remarked that Mr. Saurin had not
address, and advised Mr. O'Calitighan to insist upon itarveisot
act:

dation. The curiosity of men
might very easily be attracted tee
the inside pamengers of a carriage, on the outside of which sat
a person of so extraordinary a figure as Mr. O'Callaghan, whose
face was covered with hair. Mrs. Thelwall's appearance was-.
also attractive, but for very different reasons, as it was ditain-
finished for elegance and grace., and fornied a striking contrast
to that of the gentlemen. There was no evidence to prove that
Mr. O'Callaghan was in the Spanish service, and he was most.
certainly not in the English service. The recommendation of
the Jury wee most certainly attended -to 'by the Bench, who
were not to be responsible for the prison regulations, •which
were made under an Act, undoubtedly a severe one, as far as it related to convictions, anti one which required a speedy al.
teration in that respect.
111 r. ALLEN expressed a wish that this statement should be
made to the public, in order to remove the effect of the cen-
sure (which he considered to be most unjust) passed upon the
Smtr*.ey Magistrates upon the trial and sentence of Mr. O'er,.
laghan.

PARIS PAPERS.

[From (hi EOM, dated Thursday, July 1.1
PARIS, Jura 30.—The following are the new
reports which the Liberal Journals, and their

new► allies, would make us believe to-day :
" It is not only the Minister of War, but seve-
ral others, that have tendered their resignations.
The Chambers, which will be closed in the begin-
ning of August, will be convoked in the month of
November."

We shall reply to the first Insinuation, as we
did yeeterday as far as the Minister of War was
concerned, that is, the fact is false. With respect
" to a new convocation of the Chambers in the
month of. November, we cannot conceive what
could be the object. it is hard to guess how any
hope could be entertained that credit would he
given to a report which does not rest even on any
apparent foundation ; accordingly, this report has
not gained ground enough to merit the honour of
a discussion; a direct contradiction seems to us
sufficient.

It seems, then, that every day is to produce
.some false news of this kind. But what is the
object of all these manceuvres ? Is it expected to
disturb by them the King's Government ? This
object will not be attained. Is it intended to
mislead public opinion ? It may be deceived fors
day or two, but it cannot be long abused ; it is a
kind of credit which is lost more easily than it is
acquired.
ST. CLOUD, JUNE 30.--The King heard mass
in his apartments. At noon, his Majesty pre.
sided at a Council of Ministers, which sat till
half past one. His Majesty has not beet: out to-
day.

:Sagraxp JUKE 13.—Within these few days,
several. Tartars, coming from the camp at Luis-
son, have arrived at Belgrade. A report has been
spread among the Turks themselves, that the
Seraskier Dervisch Pacha had commenced his
operations, but that he had met with such a vigo-
rous resistance at Zeitouny, that he had been
obliged to retreat. The Greeks give particulars
-which would make this event considered as a
great victory gained by their countrymen, but we
shall wait for authentic reports. A fact that'
seemed indisputable is, that the Captain Pacha
has sailed for Salonichi, after taking 3,000 Alba-
cians on board his squadron. Various conjectures
are circulated respecting the real object of his

expedition; the most probable is, that he intends
to make an attempt upon the island of Ipsaru.

:(From the Courier Francois.)

P AlllB, JUNE 30.—M. de Villele takes on
lrirnserlf the responsibility of the contracts with
,M.Ouvrard, end undertakes to defend them.
Which of the Ministers, in this case, merits the
most praise, it is difficult to say. In the debate,
liowever, of the 'lath, M. de Villele showed how
lie could hear the load of such enormous respon-
sibility. The first attack was so softened by the
amenity of the mode that M. de Yillele did not
shew any sensibility. There are some things,
said M. Benj.Constant, concerning which silence,
`mare convenient than words, is at least as elo-
quent. I appeal to men humane, just, arid gene-
.rous, and their conscience replies sufficiently to
my silent interrogatories as to'gpain. M. de Vil-
.lele acted like a discreet man, and would not be
behind in eloquence, nor in the observation of
convenience—to silent interrogatories lie opposed
silent answers, and even his adversaries admit
that he escaped with advantage from this attack
of silent eloquence..

[From the Courtitutivand.l
Just: 30.—General Foy, speaking on
-the With of the uncertainty which prevailed so'
'long in the Council when the question of attack-
ing Spain was in agitation, said, " God forbid
'that I should reproach the King's Ministers, and
certainly at present any reproches would be
mai...apropos, when the frightful state of Spain
expresses clearly how many powerful motives
there were to hesitate before encountering so
.dark a future." Murmurs from the right side
were heard at this reflection, which may, how-
ever, be so easily corroborated by facts now
imssin4 before our eyes. j rapid eXatnination of
,what taking place in the Peninsula, is, quite
sufficient to give us an idea a the deplorable si-
tuation of that unhappy coontrY. After remain-
_bhp, a few weeks at 4ranjuez, the Kiog of Spain
returned Madrid on the l oth, and the
following order preceded , It being
the pleasure of the King, Our Lard and
Master, that on his arrival there may be
no persons in the Capital but such as may remain
440i:fading to law; or by some particular orders)

or in consequence of some other regulations, it is
ordered that all those who hare not resided six
years in the town, engaged in commerce, or in
some known occupation, with a public and known
residence, shall immediately leave the town, as
they cannot be considered as citizens of Madrid."
Thus every Spaniard or foreigner who has esta-
blished himself at Madrid within 5 years and 11
months—that is, before any symptoms of revolu-
tion had made their appearance in Spain (at that
time several Publicists and M. de Chateaubriand
himself represented Spain to us as a model to
imitate) ; every capitalist who may have chosen
the heroic city of Madrid as the place where he
means to terminate in peace a life consecrated to
the encouragement of industry, commerce, and
civilization, has been forced to quit the Capital,
and to expose himself to all the dangers which
menace those who are obliged to travel by the
high roads, or to seek refuge in spots where the
public power is yet iu the hands of the fanatics.
'"'"*" The employes," continues the Ordinance,
" who have received orders to leave the Capital,
cannot return in or make the least stay there."
—This order applies particularly to the Eccle-
siastics, who, by special direction, must not re-
main in Madrid.
I From flat Journal des INbats.l
SMYRNA, MAY 19.—(11stract of a letter tran-
Whited literally from the ;reek.)—Must we al-
ways be condemned to see only tears and blood ?
When shall I escape far from a sacrilegious land,
where we have no other prospect, after the ex-
termination of the Christians, than an inevitable
war between Turkey and Russia, as the latter
only waits till the belligerents have exhausted.
themselves to impose chains on both ? Europe
has beheld, without shuddering, the massacres of
Chios; some merciless men have considered this
holocaust of a population of ninety thousand souls
us au expiatory sacrifice offered 'to the legitimacy
of the Sultan. The public credulity may have
been imposed on, but what reason can be assign-'
ed to excuse the massacre of the Christians of
Asia Minor—a timid and defenceless race, who
have never done any thing but bow their necks
to the fklahommedatr yoke ? Christian Europe !
learn the miseries of Greece, and of those who
would still blind you ; lift up their voice, we
will tear asunder the veil of iniquity. Hardly
was it known that the Captain Pacha had ar-
rived at the Dardanelles, than it was also known
that the different Contingents of the provinces
of Anatolia, on their march to Smyrna, where
they were to embark, shed the blood of all the
Christians they met with on their route. The
shore from Scala Nova to Tchestue was covered
with thousands of robbers. The Government
having taken no precaution to provide them with,
provisions, nor to give them any pay, was obliged
to satisfy them to permit them to plunder, point-
ing mit to them the Island of Samos, like another
Chio, as the object of the great expedition in
this campaign. In this view, our Governor,
Hassan Paella, gave orders to the volunteers to
repair to Melenia, where they had scarcely ar-
rived, when they put all the Christians, except
children above eight years of age, whom they
could find, to the sword. Children of a
less age than this were thrown into the
river, or trampled under foot by the horses. The
same scenes of carnage took place in all the vil-
lages within ten miles, but the most mischievous
blow was aimed at the unfortunate city of Per-
gamo, where above ten thousand perished in a
massacre which lusted thirty-six hours. The
whole of Magnesia was in alarm—the Greeks
there. all expect death or servitude, for the bar-
barians are not going to attack SaMOS. They
know, and other people know, that the object
of the Porte is to extirpate Christianity from
its empire. A Greek and Turk can no longer
live in the same spot, and the whole of Chris-
tendom will soon find itself obliged to take
up arms. The Captain Paella, m place of com-
ing to our coast, has directed his course to the
Thermaic Gulf, to atttsck the island of Sciathos,
where, according to the report of the Captain of
an Austrian merchant vessel, who was then there,
the Greeks, informed of his intention, are ready
to receive him. The Captain Pacha, ignorant of
this circumstance, after firing seven thousand
balls, bad landed with a numerous corps. At
least this Austrian Captain, Saves Pesta, says so.
A battle immediately ensued ; the Turks were
charged so vehemently by the Greeks under the
orders of Odysseus, or
beau-
tiful Maurogenia of M Diamantes, and the
ycone, that only the Cap-
tain Pacha was enabled to effect his, escape in a
small boat. On reaching his ship he immediately

call it Otto's School.
