SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 7, 1833.

We have received Buenos Ayres Papers to-
day, particulars of which, from a press of other
matter, we are unavoidably compelled to post-
pone. They refer chiefly to the occupation of
the Falkland Islands by the British, which has
created much agitation at Buenos Ayres.

It is almost a pity that the Jury did not in
the action brought by the attorney DICAS
against Lord BROUGIIAIIf find a verdict for
the plaintiff sufficiently high to carry costs.
His Lordship, fortunately for himself, had a
verdict entirely in his favour ; but had Mr.
DICAS succeeded in getting a handsome sum
from him in the way of costs, his Lordship
would have been made to feel the full weight of
one of the most unjust parts of the libel law.
'With his income the payment of a hundred
pounds in the shape of costs may be nothing ; but
let him suppose that Mr. DICAs had brought an
action against him for a libel instead of for false
imprisonment ; let him suppose that the jury
thinks the action vexatious or malicious, and,
in consequence, only gives a farthing damages,
although the amount of the costs might not
distress, they could not fail to annoy him. He
would feel that the power such a man as Mr.
DICAS might exercise ought not to exist. But
if he would imagine that same man bringing
eighty-four actions against different newsvenders
for selling a newspaper in which there was a
libel, but against the proprietors of which he had
recovered damages ; let. him imagine all these
defendants to be certain of a verdict virtually
in their favour, but nominally against them, and
therefore carrying costs ; let him imagine them
unable to bear those costs; let him imagine them,
therefore, either ruined by the verdict meant
to be in their favour, or obliged to compound
with their adversary ; let him imagine, we say,
all these things, would he not say that they
constituted a species of oppression disgraceful
to the law which suffered it ? But this is no
imaginary case. It is one now pending between
the Newsvenders and Mr. DICAS, a gentlema::
too laudably sensitive on the subject of cha-
racter not by this time to have convinced all
readers of the law reports of his unexampled
disinterestedness and moderation. Shame upon
such a law ! Shame upon the Legislature which
hesitates to abolish it!

We have read with considerable interest an
article which appeared in the Times of yesterday
on the state of Turkey. This article is ably and
closely argued, and shows an intimate acquaint-
ance with the affairs of Europe as they act, and
are acted on, by those of Turkey. The writer
plausibly enough observes, " The most curious
of all facts connected with this subject, is the
line of conduct adopted by Austria. The dread
of the
propagandism of the Parisian revolu-
tionists is the professed object of the army,
400,000 strong, maintained by this state, but
the true cause is believed to he, to aid Russia in
seizing Turkey. The scheme of JOSEPH the
Second and CATHERINE the Second is about
to be realized. The death of MAHmoup the
Second is to be the sequel, and that event is
hourly predicted by his own subjects, who detest
him and who hate the Russians more, in con-
sequence of their having come to support him.
It is even affirmed that the treaty of partition
was signed between the despoilers at their late
