LONDON.
THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 4, 1828,

We learn, on good authority, that his Royal
Highness the Duke of CLARENCE has defini-
tively resigned his office of LORD HIGH AD-
M IRAL, and that the performance of his import.
ant functions at the Admiralty will not be con-
tinued beyond the week.

The French Papers contain no authentic

news from the seat of war, but a -great dea;
of speculation as to the result—and much
more as to the enthusiasm of the Turks, both

in Constantinople and throughout the pro-
vinces in the cause which seems to be one
of life and death to the. Ottoman. Power in
Europe. An article front Orsova says that the
Levies were proceeding withthe greatest alacrity,
but there is much reason to
.doubt
.the correct-
ness of this report. The Grand ViztEß..was to
have left Constantinople for the camp at. Adria-
nople on the 13th of August, after which it was
expected" that the standard of the Prophet would
be displayed from the Seraglio. This may
prove correct, but we have been amused
with similar stories for the last two months
at least. It is said that Austria and Eng-
land -are endeavouring to bring round a peace.
Their success - must entirely depend upon the
means of Russia to carry on. the war: Want of
means only will bring NICHOLAS to a sincere
profeSsion of moderation.

Letters from Vienna, state " that the Emperor
NICHOLAS will listen to any propositions that
the Turks may make, but at the same time the
operations of his armies must be continued : it
is also known that the grand blow will be struck
by the sth of September, when the Emperor will
proceed forward at the head of his army ; and we
may say we have it from a good source (says the
letter), that the Emperor will proceed from
Bessarabia at the head of his Guards and a fourth
army, which is organizing in that Province ; there
is no doubt that an armistice was en the tapir,
but previous to its being granted, the Emperor
deManded that Shun►la and Varna should be
delivered over to him."

The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 28th August
contains a paragraph from Odessa, which shows
pretty clearly that the armistice, said to have
hpen concluded between the Russians and Turks,
'was .founded upon a report generally spread and
believed at Odessa, in consequence of the unex-
pected, arrival, f the EMPEROR. The day of
his departure for the army was fixed for the
22d August. According to news from Bosnia,
things continue in that 'quarter in a feverish state,
as will be•seen by the following

AGRAIq, AUG. 16.
Our journal of to-day contains the following from the

FRONTIERS OF BOSNIA.

The rebels at Sarajewo propesed the following terms to
Abdul Rahman Paeha

I. That he .horrid immediately leave Sarajewo, and go
to Travnik, the former residence of the Governor of Bosnia.
te. That he should give them a receipt for 50 porses
(each of 30U piastres) which had been extorted from them,
and engage to repay them.
3. That he should acknowledge in writing that he fired
with cannon on the inhabitants of Sarajewo.
After he had acceded to these terms, he was allowed to
withdraw uuroole3ted. He then went to Trtivaik, bat

left it again in two days, ordering the inhabitants to enter-
tain the same sentiments as those of Sarajewo, and went
with his whole suite to Zwornik, leaving his harem in the
fortress of Gradachaez. When he arrived at Zwornik he
was refused admittance, and found himself under the ne-
cessity of turning back to the fortress of Tusla, where he
intends to remain with the Governor till the couriers he
has sent to Constantinople return. The Chiefs who are now
masters of Sarajewo on their side have also sent couriers
to the Sultan, to inform him of what has passed, ,r.rd for
their justification .sent him the written acknowledgement
above-mentioned. Meantime, they have appointed a sub-
stitute (Caimacan) to their deposed Vizir Abdul Rahman
Pacha.

The notorious Hassan Aga Pickky is said to hare de-
clared that he will put to the sword the families, and burn
the property, of all the Bosniak Turks on the left hank of
the Una, who obey the commands of the Vizir, and join the
army that he has already assembled in the Drina. On
the 26th of July most of the Turks of the district of Novi
that were with the Army assembled on the Drina, with the
exception of Capt. Cserich and a few Turks, returned, and
relate that not only the Captains, but all the Bosniaks as-
sembled there, are gradually disappearing.

Brussels Papers of the 3d inst. furnish us
with another sample of Piracy, almost accoin-

plished, but for the Turkish Pass which pro-
tected the Dutchman. Really these things have
been suffered too long to go unpunished:—

BRUSSELS, AUG. 3

Captain C. Van der Drift, of the Dutch ship de Verwisa-
cling, from Amsterdam for Lisbon, writes in a letter from
the latter city, dated Aug. 9, that on the 29th July, being
eight miles north el Oporto, he was hailed by a brig under
French colonts, the crew of which asked him in Frenct)
where he came, and whither be was bound, ordering and
obliging him to lie-to, on which the brig hoisted a red
flag. Captain Van tkr Drift went oa board the brig, and
passing bettvecs two files of men, dressed in the Turkish
fashion, and aimed with -sabres, was led before the Cap-
tain, whom he found seated in the Turkish fashion,
holding a sabre in hand, and whip very roughly de-
manded his papers. However, he immediately changed his
tone, and his behaviour on seeing the Turkish pass, which
Capt. Van der Drift chewed him, who was then recoil-
ducted with much civility on board his own ship, after
they had asked him if he was in want of any thing, and
wished him a good voyage.

BRUSSELS, SEPT.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who arrived
here on the 30th August, left this city again yesterday
afternoon, and took the road to Maeatricht, by Tervenren,
where he went to see the Palace of the Prince of Orange.

• Russia and Turkey are now fairly committed
- in an arduous struggle for military superiority.
Hitherto the tide of conquest has rolled into
Turkey with little resistance. In every encounter
the Russian armies have been victorious ; they
have crossed rivers, and taken towns, and no
army has appeared to resist their advance. But
though such has been the previous history of the
campaign, it is impossible to believe that the
Turks, ignorant and barbarous as they are, have
altogether neglected the means of defence ; and
accordingly we find that the Russians have been
forced at length to pause in their victorious
career. The position of Shumla presents an
obstacle to their progress, which they have not
yet been able to overcome. In modern war
strong positions have generally been of little
value, because in the attack of a country the in-
vading army, extending its line by a chain
of posts over a large tract of country, and
_selecting the most favourable point of attack,
will naturally avoid the strongest positions, and
will rather break through the enemy's line where
it is weakest, in which case all the strong local
defences of the country will fall just as effectually
by being flanked by this irruption of the hostile
army as if they had been attacked in front. But
there are some- positions so situated that they
cannot be flanked—they must be carried by a
front attack ; such was the position of Torres
Vedras, in Portugal, before which the French
army ingloriously mouldered away. We are
told that the position of Shumla has this advan-
tage, that it is sturounded with hills in the
north, west, and south, in the form of a cres•
cent, and that it is only open on the east, where
it is strongly fortified ; and further, that there is

o other, practicable road •by which the Russian
armies can penetrate the Balkan mountains. The
hills by which it is shut in on the north are,
moreover, said to be so covered with briars and
thOrns, as to be quite inaccessible to artillery.
In this case the Russians haNe no alternative but
to attack in front. ThiS is the most hazardous;
but it. is at the same time the most decisive
course ; it wastes men, no doubt ; but this is in-
evitable ; it is the price of success; and any
other plan that would cause delay, would be in
the end equally fatal to the Russians, and more
inglorieui. The campaign having been'brouglit:
in this manner to some plain issue, it seems clear,
if the above premises be well-founded, that the
Russians must attack, and that the longer they
delay this necessary course their difficulties will
be the greater. The successful assault of such a
position, so defended .aS it appears to be by a
numerous and well appointed army, would be a
great military achievement. It is a bold, a dif-
ficult, and a. doubtful enterprise. If it fail,
Russia must relinquish her ambitious hopes of
eastern conquests, at least for a season, unless
she could renew the assault by accumulated
forces ;. and its success does not . ensure the sub-
jection- •of the - country, or an easy uninter-
rupted march to the Turkish Capital.
..As we
have already mentioned, success can only be
Purchased by a prodigal sacrifice of men, and in
-this case the. Russian army, crippled by its dear-
bought victory, has to proceed to "new and san-
guinarytl rough achievements---it
has to force its way

twins, with the irregular
hanging on its steps, and the army opposing it in
front. Such are the ,difficulties, if the Turks
exert themselves in the. defence of the country,
which it will require all the respurces of the

Russian empire, and all the talent, energy, and

skill of the Generals to overcome. At the same
time it is hardly possible to believe. that the

Russian Statesmen would have entered into this
war without a previous estimate of its difficulties.
They invaded Turkey in 1810 ; they advanced to
the position of Shumla, all the peculiarities of which
they must have been thoroughly aware of ; they
must have exactly foreseen, in the event of their
success, that the two armies would face each
other where they now are ; and it would argue
a more than ordinary fatuity not to have digested
some plan for their subsequent operations—it is

a crisis that must have been foreseen, and they
must be duly prepared for it ; they cannot have
been taken unawares, and if they had not con-
ceived that they could master the difficulty, they
never, certainly, would have gone on so far with
the invasion of the country—they knew perfectly
that they would meet the position of Shumla,
and would they have advanced upon it for the
purpose of retiring with disgrace, and acknow-
ledging the failure of their enterprize before all
Europe ? We cannot believe that, with their ,
eyes open, they would rashly incur the hazard of
so signal a dishonour. The campaign has now
reached a most interesting and critical point ;
and a short time, for which we must wait
patiently, will solve the problem of its final issue.

The Star, Guernsey Paper, of the 2d inst.,
gives the following account of an attempt to es-
tablish a Jesuitical College in that and a neigh-
bouring island:—
An extraordinary sensation has been excited here during
the past week, by the arrival of two Jesuitical teachers from
France, with the professed object of founding a Jesuitical
College in this island. These individuals, it appears, have,
with others of their order, an establishment of this nature

in France, in which there are 1,200 pupils ; but the Go-
vernment of that country having recently suspended all
Jesuitical seminaries, theirs must be closed very shortly,
and they wished, if possible, to transfer it to one of these
islands, where the greater part of their pupils will follow
ann. They endeavoured in the first place to obtain a
footing in Jersey, but the popular feeling there was strongly
against them, and eventually, if we are rightly informed,
Sir C. Halkett, the Lieut.-Governor, refused to allow them
to settle in Jersey. Two of the principal conductors of the
seminary came over to this island on the 22d ult. Their
object, as might have been expected, no sooner became
known, than great were the discussions to which it gave
rise. As in Jersey, it was very seen manifest that the
popular feeling was decidedly hostile to their views : some,
however, and we must be candid to say that among them
were men who yield to few in general talent and sound-
ness of judgment, were of opinion that the only result
that would be sensibly felt in the island would arise from
a vastly increased circulation of money. In the mean
time the two disciples of Loyola applied to the local autho-
rities far their sanction, and the Chief Magistrate promised
to submit the matter to the Royal Court. A full Court '
accordingly met at 12 o'clock this day, for the special pun.
pose of taking the request into consideration. Upwards of two
hours were spent in deliberation, but as the whole passed
in private it is impossible for us to report the proceedings.
We, however, learnt, on the meeting breaking up, that it
was the opinion of the majority of the Court not to allow
any Jesuitical seminary to be established here. Had the
division. been otherwise, it appears that it was the intention
of several gentlemen, of the first respectability, to hold a
meeting on Wednesday next, for the purpose of petitioning
his Majesty against the measure, and that our countryman,
Sir James Saumarez, had engaged to take the Chair. The
same paper states, that although we are not so apprehen-
sive of danger to our political institutions as many of our
fellow-citizens seemed to be, yet we cannot bat participate
in the joywhich the Court's decision has verygenerally created.

We direct the admirers of Lord BY/toN—
and who does not admire his transcendant
genius ?—to an article from a Morning Paper,
which professes to be the exclusive organ of the
Church and State. The worthies of St. Paul's
and Westminster have come to a resolution

not to admit a monument to the memory of the
first Poet of the day to adorn the sanctuaries
over which they preside ; and for this pious de-
cision they are extolled to the skies by the high-
priest of Fanaticism. We should like to know if
the private virtues of the worthies in question were
sufficiently known, whether the cause of morality
did not benefit as much, if not more from the
Poet, as from those who modestly set themselves
up in judgment upon his demerits. But the
course pursued by these Reverend Gentlemen
can only be disgraceful to themselves—the
fame of the Bard will endure, when their memo-
ries will not even be honoured by the contempt
of Posterity. They will not be Bishops not-
withstanding, for
" The force of canting can no further go !"

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, Twz€Lrx 0'

No symptom of an increase of business in the
English Funds has taken place, and in the absence
of news prices may almost be said to be nominal.
Consols opened this morning at. and with the
exception of having been sellers at this rate no fluc-
tuation has taken place; the Commissioners gave
87i: India Bonds are 107 9 pm. ; Exchequer Bills,
74 5 prn.

The Foreign Funds are in an equally languid
state, and scarcely a transaction has taken place to
vary the dullness that exists. Colombian are quoted
at 24 ; Mexican, 3.91 40 ; Portuguese, .53i 4;
and Russian, 93i 94 ; but these prices are quite
,
nominal.

to be an equal want of business, an►l the few Brokers
that remain in 'town complain bitterly-of the stagnate
state ►n which. every thing remains.

CoNsT, and a full bench of Magistrates.
ISIrORTANT TO STAGE-COACH PROrRIETORS.
Charles Smith and George King were indicted fat

to Piccadilly on the 3d of June to engage a Beat nn'
coach to Windsor. The defendant Smith, is the Coo
man of a Bath coach, and asked ss. as the fare to Sloai

me when I t.et you down." 'Witness got. on the

threatened to tiling an officer. The witness still refd

forcing the witness from the coach. A person iff the `roe
called out " Soldier, do not come down, for a geode fir

armed, but said that he would not-use his arms, though'
would resist by force as long as he was able: They t 1
threw his cap into the street, and in despite d his et*
resistance they forced him from the top' of the coach, b
. he still was on the wheel resisting, lieheti cog, Tovvßae
came up and beckoned him to come dowd# which
accordingly did.
Another witness corroborated the evidence of the Pi
secutor, and deposed to hearing the guard say that
would get him down. Immediately after this, King got n 0
the coach, and threw the cap of the prosecutor into the Stir(
Another witness proved the contract made between 0
prosecutor and the coachman.
This was the case for the prosecution.
Mr. A notru us addressed the jury for the defendant, ae
said the bargain made by coachmen with individuals for she'
distances are always conditional, upon tin re being room, #
the coachman cannot know the state of the coach until it
about to star; for the seats 'upon the long coaches are d
gaged at the offices, and the coachman therefore could
make any other than a conditional engagement. What di
King do? Ile took precisely the very step which Way'

his cap into the street, and his head must follow it, and
will remove the cause of rentention."—(A

Mr. BODKIN then addressed the Jury for Smith.
'Be CHAIRMAN, in summing up, said, that the oonchic
of the defendants was perfectly illegal. The proseot
had contracted with the coachman to be conveyed to Sloug
and it was quite indefensible in the prisoners to remove
him from the coach, because they could procure anal°
passenger, who was going a greater distance.
The Jury llnind both defendants guilty, and the CHAO/
MAN sentenced them to two months' imprisonment.
Then, said Mr. Anosmus, this case is of great pull'i
importance, and these coachmen and guards ought to kney
that they ought not to allow passengers to get upon
coach unless they intend to convey them. The het)),
way would be to make the passengers who were 0 ci,

The CHAIRMAN—I know that it will be a gra Ce

TIIE FIRST OF SEPTEMBER.—FroaI this
immense number of birds which have been seen for e°,linxtre
time past in every direction round Cheltenham, Men-,h"-",
last may be recorded as a day of unusual interest i" -
sporting world : and in no former year do we ren3ell::
the shooting season to have commenced under mere sun''_
viola circumstances. The fineness of the day induced an.
unusual number of sportsmen to be early in the field, and
if they did not return amply rewarded for their toil,
they
had only to thank their own want of dexterity. The gal"
is said to be remarkably abundant upon the hills, though.
at present both birds and hares are very wild. On the
estates of some of our friends the partridges are estimated
at more than double the number of last year; and a, the
corn is nearly gathered 6

who have an opportunity of indulging in the sporte of the

The person belonging to the Henry Bell, was bit sd see

of Messrs. Praed and Co. bankers,
Oeet-street. On the 24th November, 1827, the
of exchange now produced, dated " Cornish
Naval Bank, Falmouth, 23d Oct. 1827," for the
:1411 of 60/, 1.55. 7d. payable at 30 days after date
:' the order of the Treasurer of the Royal Hospital
P‘-treenwich, (value received of Lieut. Edward Jen-
igs), was brought to Messrs. Praed and Co. and
141 id the account to person whom I believe to be
clerk at the Bank of England, whose name appears
to
be R. 130souet. The bill is endorsed as follows :
,
.'or procuration of Sir T. B. Thompson, Bart.,
easurer of Greenwich Hospital, Thomas Austin,
etity Treasurer."
A
or; wn Salmon- exarnined.—l am one of the
' liciPal officers at Bow-street. I went, in corn-
-1,).11Y with Farmer, a constable at Greenwich, to
"merick, and there we apprehended the prisoner
lon !he 21st ult. The day preceding, viz., the 20th
iveugust, I had the large trunk now produced de-
ed to me at Cork, Mr. Fisher gave me the
terunk. Mr. Fisher keeps a shoemaker's shop at
'iork, and he also gave me at the said shop the•two
rk* produced,—namely, a blue pocket-book and a
ti ussia case. The case is engraved " Thomas Aus-
n, Greenwich Hospital." L found on the prisoner's
Person 74 cancelled cheques, now produced. I
toiced the prisoner from Hounslow to Bristol ; from
'Bristol to Milford-Haven, and from Milford-Haven
to
Waterford. We afterwards traced him to Cork
r.4l'd to Limerick,
and at Limerick we took him into
lnly, as before stated.
flTthevidence having been concluded, the solicitor
ILrteee prosecution pressed to hare the prisoner com-
.. capitally. A long discussion then took place
ii" )","sreen , the Magistrate (Sir R. Birnie) and the
been
Geritletnen at either aide.

the p soner was then committed to Newgate on

EXANIINAtION AND CONINIITTAL OF

The final examination of Austin took place yet—
`day at Bow-street. The prisoner was conveyed in
a coach to the office, where he arrived about half-
. past twelve o'clock, accompanied by Vicary, the
Governor of the House of Correction, Salmon, and
Farmer, the Greenwich constable. The examina-
tion, as on the former occasions, contrary to expec-
tation, was ordered to be strictly private, and none
were admitted but the solicitor for the prosecution,
the solicitor for the prisoner, Mr. Adolphus, who
appeared to defend him, and the witnesses in the
ease. We are happy, however, in being enabled to
give a faithful transcript of the whole of the evi-
dence taken against the prisoner on the several days
he was under examination. The final examination
was expected to have taken place at Greenwich,
tend several persuns connected with the press pro-
, oeeded to that plate at an early hour yesterday
Turning, but t counter order was given at the
rtLitle of Qorrection, and the prisoner was forwarded
nowaarreet.
. The %Hewing is the evidence :
John Bruce examined.—l am Deputy Secretary
'at Greenwich Hospital. The prisoner, Thomas
- Austin, was lately Deputy Treasurer of Greenwich
itospital, and he was also a clerk on the establish-
ment. Mr. Austin acted in both capacities during
the lifetime of Sir John Colpoys ; and after the
death of Sir John Colpoys, Mr. Austin continued
to act in the same capacities to the time of the sleuth
t.r. Sir T. B. Thompson, who was lately the Trea-
Itiree of Greenwich hospital. Sir T. B. Thomp-
boa died on the 3d of March last. Mr. Austin con-
tiaked to act as chief clerk and Deputy Treasurer
• 'tllter the death of Sir T. B. Thompson, and before
the appointment of any other treasurer. Mr. Austin
• recetved a salary for his services. He was paid by
the Ihspital. In his situation he was in the habit
of receiving and paying monies—the monies of the
hospital. -During the whole of the titne aforesaid,
,• he was entitled, by virtue of Acts of Parliament, as
I}eputy Treasurer, to receive various sums of money
for the 'Hospital. In fact, the greater part of the,
money received at the Hospital was paid to Mr.
Austin. He was also in the habit of selling out
stock for the Hospital.
Wm. Paine examined—l am Deputy Treasurer of
Greenwich Hospital. I succeeded the prisoner Mr.
Austin in his office of deputy treasurer, and to the
Papers belonging to the office. Amongst Mr. Aus-
tin% Rapers, I found the paper now produced marked
`,Aa containing the following directions from the
General Court of Commissioners and Governors of
Greenwich Hospital of the 12th of January, 1827,
" The Court approved of the sum of
00,000/, of the Hospital stock in the 3 per Cent.
Reduced, being sold out in the name of the Trea-
:eFer and Deputy Treasurer, for the purpose of car-
tYnig on the public service, and that a power of at-
orney be prepared and pass the Hospital seal for
dthat
_purpose accordingly." The prisoner has reit-
.ered accounts to the Hospital, from a date prior to
t.thoee sale of the stock on the 4th of February last to
tiit,s;ime that he was superseded, and in none of
'accounts is there any entry of the sum of
Its. 6d., as the produce of any stock sold.
Prisoner has, since the said 4th of February,
m p
aid
over certain balances of
money to the Hospital, and
lifter all such payments, there is still a greater
deficiency than 12,843/. 12s. 6d. due from
the prisoner to the Hospital. That particular sum is
altogether unaccounted for by the prisoner, and there
are still other sums unaccounted for by- him. The
accounts rendered by the prisoner were rendered in
the Hospital. He had apartments in the Hospital
and an office, and there the books were kept, and
there the accounts were made out. I have exa-
mined the contents of the Russia ease now produced
by Salmon. They consist of bills of exchange and
promissory notes to the amount of 15,0001., and
also some acceptances of Mr. Austin. I have also
.examined the contents of the blue pocket-book, pro-
duced by Salmon, and I find them to consist of sun-
dry cheques, drawn by Mr. Austin en the Bank of
.ngland, out of the Treasurer's account of Green-
wich Hospital, in favour of an individual not con.
eected with the }hospital, to the amount of between
4. and. 5,0004 The said hills of exchange in the
Russia case are private bills of Mr. Austin,.not at
all connected (by any thing that appears upon the
face of them) with Greenwich Hospital. I found
amongst the papers in the Treasurer's-office, a freight
return, signed by Lieutenant Jennings, commanding
the Plover packet, showing that the sum of 60/.
15s. 7d. was due to the .Hospital for freight carried
by him, which he (Lieutenant Jennings) had not I
Paid. I made reference to Mr. Praed's, the corres-
pondents of the Falmouth Bank, who are agents of
Lieutenant Jennings, to pay the amount, and they
Bent me the copy of a bill of exchange, showing that
the Falmouth Bank had remitted a bill of exchange
for the said amount to the Treasurer of Greenwich
Hospital, and that such bill of exchange had been
Paid by Messrs. Praeds and Co., and that the name
of " Thonias Austin, deputy treasurer," was en-
dorsed upon the said bill. .
Alexander Trotter sworn.--I am a partner in the
house of David Marjoribanks and others, of Throg-
taorron-street, London. We are stock-brokers to
Greenwich Hospital. In the month of February
64 (on the 4th) we received instructions from Mr.
Austin, upon the power of attorney given by the
Commissioners anti Governors of Greenwich Hos-
in favour of the Treasurer and Deputy-
Treasurer of Greenwich Hospital, to sell out
eeti thousand pounds, Three per Cents. Reduced.
, e sold out the stock; the net produce was 12,843/.
(4. (id. The prisoner attended personally and
treesferred the said stock. We paid the same sum
to the prisoner in bank notes and cash. On the 27th
°f March last we sold out another stain of 15 000/
, .
oiler Cents: Reduced, upon the same power of at-
-Iroey ; the net produce was 12,5571. 10s. and the
411 e was paid, as I have no'doubt, to the prisoner.
fade the entry of the sale of such first-named
'ttottk. I have seen my partners' signatures on the
uitek books, as accompanying the signature of Mr.
ustitt upon the said last-named tale, and also the
414-named sale.

'stealing and embezzling 6(1/. li,s. 7d., the inohies of
our Lord the King.
The prisoner will reniaili vewgate toldl the
next Assizes for the ~'!otility of Kent, when he will
be removed to Maidstone by habeas corpus, in order
to stand his trial.
