DECISION IN THE CASE OF THE KING v. CA RULE.

GUILDHALL.--This day, at twenty minutes
past eleven, the Jury returned into Court,-after
an absence of nineteen hours, when Mr. Justice
HOLRO YD informed them, that by consent of the
Counsel for the prosecution and the defendant, a
Juror would be withdrawn; they were conse-
quently discharged without a verdict being se-
corded.

RUSSIA, PERSIA, AND GREAT BRITAIK.—The
following is an extract of a letter from Paris :
" PARIS, JULY 19.—We have never held two
opinions on the part which the Emperor of Russia
would ultimately take, relative to the affairs of
Greece and Turkey. At this moment, when
war between Russia and the Porte is generally
considered as certain, and when, perhaps, some
provinces of the latter are already occupied by
the troops of Alexander, we think ourselves au-
thorised to assert, that this tardy determination
would not have been so long delayed if Russia,
whose whole forces are concentrated in the )✓Western
portion of the Empire, had not been anxious, in
the first place, to satisfy herself as to the fears
she entertained, that Persia has no eye towards
regaining the possessions bordering on the Cas-
pian Sea, and which she has been compelled to
cede at different periods. Although we have not
in our possession documents sufficiently authentic
to give these details as official, we must consider
them accurate, unless the Russians, who were
eager to see their Sovereign embrace the cause of
the Greeks against the Turks, have affected to be-
lieve these rumours, as an excuse for his not having
sooner acted conformably to theirwishes. One thing
strengthens us in our opinion, which is, that long
previously to this circumstance, we heard Rus-
sians who are the best informed respecting the
affairs of their country, admire the tranquillity
of the Sophi, which they compare to that of the
King of Prussia during the war waged by Napo-
leon with Austria and Russia, and which ended
in the day of Tilsit, and the treaty of Presburg.
It is also notorious, that the Russians still com-
plain, as they have always done, of the .influence
exercised in Persia by England, and of the pre-
tended errors into which, they say, the English
betray Persia, and all parts of the East, in which
they have established factories, with respect to
the affairs of Europe."

A letter from Madrid of the oth instant gives
the following as the mode in which the loan with
the Spanish Government is to be carried into
effect :—The amount to be 200,000,000 of reals
effective, of which 160,000,000 of reals are to be
advanced in money, and 160,000,000 of reals in
the Government paper, bearing interest, which
is estimated at 40,000,000 of reals effective. An

interest of 5 per cent. is to be paid on the loan,
and the whole is to be liquidated in ten years.
The value of the real is about 100 to the pound
sterling.

A letter from Lisbon of the 9th instant states,
that in the sitting of the Cortes of the 7th, it was
determined that all British woollen goods, after
the expiration of the present month, shall pay
a duty of 30 per cent. grounding the decree on
the interpretation of the 26th article of the
treaty of 1818.

ENGLISH AT PARIS.—On the day of his MA-
JESTY'S Coronation, the English residents at the
Hotel Meurice celebrated the event by a dinner,
at which sixty persons sat down to table. " God
save the King" and " Vive Henri IV." were ex-
ecuted by a military band. The healths of their
Majesties GEORGE IV. and Lours XVIII. were
drank with great enthusiasm. The company had
also the gallantry to drink a bumper to the
Ladies of France.--(French Paper.)
His Royal, Highness Prince LEOPOLD, of SAXE
COBOUIIG, arrived at Dover on Saturday, at half-
past one, and immediately embarked, under sa-
lute from the Citadel, in his Majesty's packet
the Lord Duncan, Captain HAMILTON, and land-
ed at Calais, after a fine passage of only two hours
and a half.

The Duke and Duchess de FRIAs will leave
`own on Friday for Brighton, on their way to.
Portsmouth.

Mr. COOPEOS knowledge, both legal and politi-
cal, was much grrater than his own!"—and, that
as he is." not at liberty to suppose that a Judge,
on so serious an occasion as this, would venture
to indulge in irony, he must therefore take the
compliment to be not a little honourable to his
candour!"—Really, this affected -gullibility, on
the part of the sapient organ of disaffection,
is not a little diverting, notwithstanding its
coarse and clumsy execution. Mr. Justice
BEST, with his extensive knowledge
,and long
experience, in the study, practice, and admi-
nistration of the laws, playfully observes-(if he
used the words attributed to him at all), that a
flippant young Barrister no doubt possesses more
knowledge, -both legal and political, than the
Judge upon the bet ; and the political friends
of the Barrister with infinite gravity receive the
jest, or rather the sarcastic though mild reproof,.
as a serious, public, humble admission of the
Judge's inferiority to their proleg!—make their
bow of grateful acknowledgment for the " com-
pliment!"—and, (what could they do less ?) not-
withstanding their habitual dislike to-all who sit
upon the Judgment Seat, with turned up eyes
and outspread hands, express their admiration
of the candour and humility of the confession !!
. Though the usual heavy solemnity of the writer
to whom we allude affords little reason to ttri-
bute to him a very nice perception of theludi-
crous, we still.cannot suspect him of being so
stupidly dull as he would have us to believe he
is on this occasion. We should as soon expect
him to receive an ironical eulogy on the loyalty
of his own publication, as a sincere compliment
paid to his well-known attachment to the Throne
and the Constitution! Even if he could so
far preserve his composure as to make obei-
sance to the justness and candour of that com-
pliment, the affectation would fail of its in-
tended effect. The contents of his paper are too
well known ! The dullest of his admirers could
not for an instant mistake the sense, or perver
the intended application and just construction o
We satire !
