LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 27, 16128.

Having given the views and rumours of the
Morning Papers, respecting changes in the
Ministry, and being unable to add any specific
information of our own, it may appear umneces-
sary to offer many observations on the subject.
But if the question has not yet been finally de-
cided,—if the example of Mr. HusKissoN has
not been as yet followed by all his friends
in the Cabinet, we would implore those who
have the present destinies of England in
their hands, to consider well to what inevit-
ableno itlatisntgatinnigeatshuarte
issue they
ba:ecoprrreeccitpii
should rumour an
Ultra Tory Administration, or at least one with
a mere colouring of liberality, is to be imposed
on this, free and independent nation.

We say, 'with a mere colouring of libe-
rality, localise Ye should infinitely prefer a
Qownilient with Lord ELDON at the head
of it, to one made up of merely. plausible
liberals. The House of Commons would
abandon All dem-icy and regard for etia-
racier, if in the face of their lately recorded
opinions on the Catholic Question, and
the repeal of thn Test and Corporation
Acts,

Not that we see any obligation on
to follow the fortunes of Mr. Husxorj,
there is no " necessitudo sortie' in thei,

FRANKFORT, MAY 20•

Extract from the Courier de Smyrne, April 12 :—A
beat belonging to the Austrian squadron hating been sent
into Scio by Admiral Dandolo, to carry some assistance to
the distressed Catholics, Jussuf Paclia sent a request to
the Captain to touch at Ipsara, to promise from him
to the Greek refugees in that island, security for their
PFrso❑s arid property, and to persuade them to return to
their homes. The Captain not judging himself authorised
tu take this mission on himself, the Paella earnestly en-
ti.eated him to make it known that all the Greeks of Seio
Eaight return home, and that he would answer for their
left'tY with his bead.

CARLIORUHE, MAY 14.

Ar. Duttlingen having presented the petition relative to
the clergy, and recommended that it might be referred on
4e. count of ih great importance to the Committee of Peti-
l'°4B, read the names of the petitioners, all of whom, as
as himself are Catholics, and concluded with the last
sentences of the petition, as follows :

" It is no innovation that we ask, but a return to the
llocient practice—it is no single voice which you heir, but
the echo of the voices of so many respectable men of former
tit°,*, and of the present age of ecclesiastics and laity, of
Government and individuals—it is not an undefined ebulli-
tion of enthusiasm produced by general theories that has
41nced 11.1 to this step, but the unanimo.is, deliberate, and
trar conviction of men, who without presuming to set up
their own judgment in a matter of this importance, re-
commend their petition with confidence to the representa-
tives ef their nation. Whatever decision they may come
to in their wisdom, we have the consciousness of having obeyed
the call of our duty, our honour, and our conscience.
But we cannot possibly entertain the thought that a
Petition for a reform, which was formally and solemnly
4ked, so far back as the sixteenth century, by German
Catholic Princes, will be disregarded by an assembly of
German States, in the nineteenth century."
The petition was referred by the Chancellor to the
Committee of Petitions. It seems that when the Com-
naittee was to make its report on the l 2tli of May, the
Chamber declared itself incompetent.

A report prevailed at Vienna on the 15th, that
the Russian fleet which sailed from Sebastopol
hAd met with a tempest near the heights of Varna,
411c1 several ships and transports were obliged to
Pia into Turkish ports, where they were seized.—
Very like a whale !

Letters from Gibraltar of the Bth inst. men-

lion that his Majesty's ship Asia passed the
Straits to the Eastward on that day, and was
im-
-lediately joined by his Majesty's frigate Blonde,
Captain LYON, laying there.

The Allgemeine Zeitung contains the follow-
Itig:-....

CORsTANTINOPLY, APRIL 26.—0 n the 21st there was
Mud review of cavalry in Daud Pacha, at which the
to the astonishment of every body, appeared in Euro-
-744 costume ; he here also commanded in the European
Ituaer ; the Grind Vizier and the Seraskier were mere
."'
"Pktators.
Reseein Pacha is said to have declined the chief corn-
11,',Iivid of the Army against the Russians, probably because
having been the chief promoter of the new system and
14 the destruction of the Janissaries, would have great
reason for apprehension in case of any ill success.
Tranquillity still prevails outwardly, hut there is much ap-
Pi'Phension and general alarm. There is a report among
populace that the capital will soon be bombarded by
Russian, English, and French men-of-war, but no credit is
liven to it by the Divan. It seems to have originated in the
4113Parance of several Russian men-of-war at the entrance
of the Ilo.sphorits, The families of the Consuls, and
pinstns attached to the Legations, have received an in-
Zstion (as they had before at Smyrna) to provide for
own safety, aid are preparing to depart. The be-
lviour of the Sultan, under theee circumstances excites
tti'llrise and admiration. He, as well as his Ministry, con-
41lee to shew the greatest composure and resolution. The
Zateat men of the Empire, and the lilemas, on the contrary,
'Wen the most lively apprehensions.

Jamaica and Carthagena Papers, the former
11° the 13th of April, the latter to the 24th of
March, have been received at the North and
/`'llth American Coffee-house, from which we
;!41.13, that the late Colombian Charge des Affaires,
j'e celebrated Mr.HURTADO, had been arrested
:II the island, immediately on his landing from
packet, at Kingston, at the suit of Mr.
,:15WARD MILES, of London, for 3,6001. Mr.
qutiTADo, it seems, made application to be dis-
• rllrged by habeas corpus, first on the ground of
43 privilege from arrest as an Ambassador, and
ondly, contending that he was not liable for
the debt for which he was arrested, in copse-
(lttlettce of his having signed the document
fisting
the claim) in his official character. The
L3t cause for discharge was only, however,
Pitght before the Chief Justice, the second
Jug matter for the consideration of a
I.Y. This affair seems to have puzzled the
4thorities in the island, under the peculiarity
7h(l. novelty of the case. Counsel was employed
„ °Ppose this person's discharge, on the ground
i:;4t he had not proceeded by the direct route on
return ; that HURTADO s passports were
10ed by the late Mr. CANNING upwards of
l'4111! months ago ; and that in the interim he
4 visited the Continent for purposes uncoil-
til4
letQcd with the objects of his mission. Mr.
t lIRTAno stated in his .affidavits that his visit
t(1 the Continent was in search of an early
ii°4veyance home, and although he was not
effiee, yet he was not discharged, but
171 actually on his way to make a re-
tt to the Government of the Republic

!Ilsulted the authority of VATTEL, the late

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TwEL vs a' CLuer.

This being a holiday at the Bank and both Stock
Markets, the jobbers have, as usual, honoured the
Royal Exchange with their attendance, and the
present deranged state of our Ministerial arrange-
ments has caused rather a numerous meeting, but up
to the present hour little or no private bargains have
been made, and the only quotation given for Consols
is 85i for money and .account, and 85i- for the
new account.

The only business which has taken place in the
Foreign Funds has been devoted to Portuguese
Bonds ; a broker who had been a considerable seller
some time since having come forward in the contrary
character to-day, and being known to be more par-
ticularly connected with persons who had good infor-
mation of the events going forward in that country,
a few purchases made by him influenced the price
very materially, and from 53i they went immediately
to 57i-, but have since receded to 55i; at one time
it was reported that an advertisement would ap-
pear in the Everting Papers of the payment of the
dividend, but it has since subsided in the less satis-
factory rumour that a communication from the Bra-
zilian Minister will be made to the Bond-holders,
that notwithstanding the dividend will not be paid
at the time it is due, from particular circumstances,
the money is ready, and he hopes in a short period
that events will take place which may authorise the
payment being made. This, true or not, shews,
however, that by some means •r other information
creeps out on which the jobbers act, which has been
so repeatedly denied. Every other foreign stock is
nominal in prices.

Consols have had no fluctuation, and the price

mined to make a holiday, and are already gone away

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

STEPNEY VESTRY.-PARISH ROW.

Thomas Ellis, Richard Palmer, and Wm. Groves,
respectable inhabitants of Stepney, were indicted for as-
saulting Wm. Thomas Moore and Wm. Sadler, two bead-
boroughs of the said parish, at a Vestry holden therein on
the 28th of February last.

MT. ADOLPH US and Mr. CLARKSON stated the case for
the prosecution.
Mr. C. PHILLIPS, for the defence, observed, that his
clients had a counter action in the Court of King's Bench,
and as the parties were all respectable, he thought the
better way would be for them to drop proceedings on both
sides, otherwise the case would last all day.
Mr. CONST, the Chairman, said, he thought the propo-
sition a very fair one, but the other party would not accede
to it.

The CHAIRMAN.-4 see that the attorney is ;:iimical to
an accommodation. When the devil stands at your elbow,
you must needs go on.—(A laugh.)
Mr. Cluttan was then called to prove, as collector of
the poors' rates, that the defendant Groves had not paid
his quota at the time of the meeting, and therefore rendered
ineligible to attend. The witness, however, did not prove
the fact,—indeed the Chairman thought the reverse. He
suggested that it would he better for the prosecuting party
to withdraw a juror.
Mr. CLARKSON submitted that the case should proceed ;
the assault complained of bad no reference to the poor
rates. lie then called the two headboroughs, who stated
that because Mr. Groves objected to the proceedings, he
(witness) was upon the motion of a parishioner ordered to
turn him out, when the other defendants fell upon him and
knocked him down, and they served his companion in the
same way.

CHAIRMAN-Why, you prove nothing, except that you
commenced the first assault. What business had you to
turn out a parishioner front an open vestry, or what busi-
ness had any person to move to that effect—how could you
expect any thing else but resistance, or to be knocked
down ?

The Learned CHAIRMAN said, that the parties in this
parish would never be friendly, they bad been bickering
for more than twenty years, and no sooner was there a
little squabble than the opposite party got a bill of indict-
ment, thereby wasting both the public time and the public
money. O❑ the present occasion there was no pretence to
say that any thing had been proved to sustain any part of
the indictment, the Jury would therefore find for the de-
fendants.

The Jury immediately returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
There appears to be what is called a Union Club iu this
parish, of which the " would-be select" are members,
many of them were present at the trial, and appeared chop-
fallen at the result.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

GUILDHALL.

Mary Ann Donovan was charged by Jonathan Wil-
kinson, a water-cre,s.grewer, in the parish of Harefield,
with robbing him of three sovereigns and fourteen shillins,4,
and Peter Crawley and Mary Ann Sullivan, with buiug
her accomplices.

Mr. Wilkinson stated, that he had travelled all the way
from Uxbridge alone in the night, which indeed he was in the
constant habit of doing every night except Saturday, for
the purpose of selling the fruits of his honest industry:at Fleet
Market. Upon Air. W.'s arriving at the market this
morning, he met a friend, who asked him if he would go
into a neighbouring public-house, kept by a Mr. Mason,
and take a glass of something; having agreed to this, as they
were proceeding on the way they met the three prisoners,
who asked them to treat them with a little blue ruin. When
they were at Mr. Mason's, one of the prisoners, Donovan,
being a plant of rather warmer growth, squeezed rather
close to the grower of water-creases, and immediately
after he found he had lost his money. lie instantly
gave her in charge ; saw her drop his purse from her right
hand, but upon picking it up found it was empty.
The prisoners were not searched till they got to the
Compter, when ss. 6d. was found on one, and Bs. 6d. on
the other.

The MAGISTRATE thought, with respect to Donovan,
the case was perfectly clear, and said he should certainly
commit her, but as to the other two, he had some doubt,
and ordered them to be remanded.

William Garvin, charged with an assault, was lis-
c•harged.

.John Turrey, charged with raising a disturbance in
White Cross-street, was discharged, with a suitable ad-
monition from the Worthy Alderman.
For a season like the present, there was a great scarcity
of drunken sprees.
