GERMAN PAPERS.

German Papers to a late date arrived last
night, from which we extract the following im-
portant intelligence respecting the disturbed state
of the Turkish Provinces :-
44 CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCH 5.—A concur-
rence of circumstances which, according to some
persons, is a mere effect of chance, while others
see it in the result of political combinations, ap-
pears calculated to increase daily the internal
embarrassments in which the Ottoman Porte has
been entangled for some time. The war in Alba-
nia, commenced last spring, is not yet terminated
and already Servia has claimed, some months
since, important privileges, and the demand was
made with a degree of confidence which made it
necessary to comply with it. Serious disorders
have broken out in the countries near to Persia,
which have required the employment of a very
con*leiable proportion of the Ottoman forces.
In Arabia the Wechabites have assembled their
hordes and threaten a new war., In these dif-
6calteonionctares, and at the moment when the
Porte. was, as it were, on the point of inditig it.
self its urgent need of the forces under Mahomet
Ali, the Viceroy of Egypt, to oppose thttn to the
wa,acterist' g hordes which his son Ismael Pacha had
before consinered, it has imprudently threatened
'that, powerful chief with a maritime expedi-
tion, with a view if not wholly to strip him of his
power,- at least (which would be the same to
to deprive him of his 'treasures which it un-
willingly sees in his hands. This step being
taken, whether the expedition takes place or not,
Mahomet Ali, well aware of the intentions of the
Poste towards him, can no longer be -considered
but as an enemy, more or less avowedly. While
the Government was already oppressed by so
many burdens, an insurrection broke out in Wa-
lachia ; at first it was hoped that it would be
speedily suppressed, but we now learn that it
has extended to Moldavia, threatens to extend
to all the countries of the Empire which are not
Muss:el/nen, and that it is the result of a plan to
sisparate all the Greek provinces from the Otto-
man dominions. To the obscure leader, the Wa-
lachian Theodore, who first raised the standard
of *volt, has succeeded the young Ypsilanti, a
name equally distinguished and honoured among
the Greeks, and son of the liospodar, who was
for a long time a refugee in Russia : a young
Prince in the lower of his age may have at once
two objects in view—to► change the fate of the
whole Greek nation, and to avenge the long pro-
sctiption oft father whose fight and exile he
shared, and above all, the blood oft grand-
father, who in his old age was torn from his re-
treat'on the Bosphorus, and almost in the midst
of his whole family loaded with chains,-strip-
ped of his possessions, and inhumanly put to death
by.the Porte.

" IV hatever be the fate which awaits tis, and
with whatever indifference the events -which
pass upon as may be viewed in the West, it is
Ito fess true, in our opinion, that the tower of Le-
ander, in the angle of the seraglio, is the fulcrum
ha which the interests of the North and of the

South of Asia are balanced and held in men.
L-rium, and that the 0 tteman Empire,whatever be
'the state of calamity to which it is now reduced,
is still the key-stone of the political arch of this
Ipart of the globe-'--a key-stone which opposite
'combinations may tend with equal persevereace,
- some to maintain firmly in its place, others vio-
• • lently to lean from it. Under such Circumstances,
it cannot be uninteresting to be able to appre-
,
ct,.
ate the military force which the Porte has still
its disposal to meet the dangers with which
it is now threatened. They are as follow :

OLD BAILEY.

THE LATE FATAL DUEL.

•At ten o'clock yesterday morning the Lord
Chief Justice ABBOTT and Mr. Justice PARK
took their seats on the Bench, which was crowded
by a number of Persons of Distinction. The
Court was also crowded to hear the trial of
Messrs. Christie, Trail, and Patmore, the Gen-
tlemen unfortunately implicated in the late duel
in which Mr. Scott fell. As soon as the Judges
had taken their seats, Mr. Christie and Mr. Trail
appeared on the steps of the witness-box ; and
Mr. GURNEY, who was their Counsel, announced
that these Gentlemen► attended to surrender and
take their trials upon an indictment found by the
Grand Jury against them for murder. Messrs.
Christie and Trail, who seem to be about 25
years of age, and were dressed in deep mourning,
then surrendered in form to Mr. Shelton, the
Clerk of Arraigns. They were immediately
placed at the bar.

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.said, that on refer-
ring to the indictment he observed the name of a
third person, Mr. PatmQre, included therein, and
wished to know if that Gentleman was also forth-
coming to take his trial.
Mr. GURNEY said he understood that gentle-
man was not now in Court.

Mr. Justice PARK desired that Mr. Patmore
should be called on his recognisances.
Mr. Shelton replied that no recognisances had
been entered into by the parties.
The indictment, charging the P‘iisoners at the
,bar with the Wilful Murder of John Scott, Esq.
on the 16th of February -last, at Chalk-farm, was
read to them) and they severally pleaded Not
Guilty.

The Jury being now sworn, 'ana the prisoners
given in charge,
Mr. WALFOaD rose to state the case for the
prosecution. Ile commenced by assuring the
Jury that it Was difficult for him to find adequate
language to convey'any idea of the painful feelings
with which he rose to state the evidence Ire had
to adduce in support of his indictment against the
gentlemen at the bar. It wasimpossible for him,
when he recollected the rank #n society in which
these gentlemen moved, and when he reflected
upon the fatal consequences which might ensue
to them upon this trial—it was, he repeated, im-
possible for him to behold their situation without
emotion. The man, who standing there, could do
so, must have firmer nerves than he possessed.
He should, however, endeavour to discharge the
painful duty which devolved upon him, as clearly
and succinctly as he was enabled to do by the
instructions which he held in his hand. He
must, however, premise his statement of the
facts of the case, by entreating the Jury to
dismiss altogether from their minds all pre-
vious statements which had reached them re-
specting this melancholy transaction. He trusted
they were fully sensible that their verdict must
alone be founded upon the evidence which would
this day be legally submitted for their considera-
tion. That could alone be the proper and legi-
timate source of the information upon which they
would be warranted in acting. This prosecution
was, he said, instituted by the relatives of the
deceased. In bringing it forward, they were
actuated alone by an anxiety to have the matter
calmly and deliberately investigated. They dis-
claimed all vindictive feeling, and were only
anxious that the facts should be examined before
the proper authorities, and such conclusions
drawn from them as the law authorized. It so
happened that of the nature or extent of the
provocation which had led to this unhappy affair
the Jury must remain uninformed. Upon that
part of the transaction he had no evidence to
offer. The deceased Mr. Scott was a gentleman
Well known in the literary world ; and at the
time when this unfortunate affair happened was
the oditier of a well known periodical work tall-
td the Laudon Magasin. Mr. Christie, one of
the gentlemen at the Iran Was, he understood, a
tenveyeeter. The other gentleman, Mr. Trail,
was also of the profer3ion of the law, and
a barrister. He had already informed them
they must remain ignorant of what passed be-
tween the principals in this unhappy affair :
whatever it was) it, probably occurred in secret,
in such a manner as to preclude the possibility of
its being made matter of evidence. • From what
would appear before them they would find that
a medical gentleman) of the name of Pettigrew,
residing in Spring. Gardens) was requested by Mr.
Patmore to meet hint and Mr. Scott the same
night, at Chalk Farm, in his capacity as a sur-
geon. He went, according to the direction of
Mr. Patmore, to the Hampstead-road, in a post-
chaise with Mr. Morris, his pupil; when they
came to theavenue leading from the Hampstead-
road to Chalk Farm, they alighted from the
chaise, and, after passing through the avenue,
ascended the hill behind the house. Mr. Morris,
who went first, would inform them that lie thought
he heard a shot fired as he ascended the hill. It
did not appear that Mr.Pettigrew heard this shot;
but they both distinctly heard the knocking and
priming of pistols, and they observed four or
five gentlemen standing in the field beyond the
hedge, two of them apart from the rest. At that
moment they heard another shot, and saw one
gentleman fall. They immediately proceeded
over the hedge into the field, where the parties
were, and saw Mr. Scott on the ground, and a
gentleman, whom they supposed to be Mr. Christie,
speaking to him, in extreme distress and agitation.
They heard Mr. Scott say that all was fair, and the
other gentleman who was speaking to him fe-
-1 marked, with great emotion, that it was a pity he
should have been permitted to fire a second time,
having fired his first pistol down the field. The
attention of the medical gentlemen was then di-
rected to Mr. Scott, and Mr./Pettigrew thought
that the best step he could take was to have him
removed to town, and he set out himself to Mr.
Scott's lodgings, to prepare for his reception.—
After waiting in town some time, he was sur-
prized that Mr. Scott had not arrived, and he
concluded, what ultimately proved to be the fact,
that he was found too weak for removal. He
immediately returned to Chalk Farm to see the
deceased. In the course of that night Dr. Dar-
ling, an eminent physician, was called :o Chalk
, Farm to attend Mr. Scott, and the latter nude a

communication to the Doctor, respecting wlat
occurred on the ground and the parties engaged
in it ; bbt,,for 'reasons he would state) he should
abstain from now 'relating that tonversatiOn.--
ACCording to law the declaration of a man be;
lieving himself to be dying, was evidence
against a prisoner. The law held that what
was stated by a than on the brink of eternity
was equivalent to what was said on the so-
lemnity of an bath, and, therefore, safe evi-
dence for a jury. Now a 'question
.would here
arise, whether at the time Mr. SColt made
this declaration, 'there was reason to believe that
he' thought ilitnself in a dying state ; that he felt
himself in great danger was clear ; but it would
be for the Court to say, when Dr. Darling was
called, whether the deceased at the time felt his

danger so imminent as to entitle his declaration
to the force of legal evidence. Ile should there-
fore abstain from saying any thing more upon
that point until they heard the witness. Mr.
Scott continued at Chalk Farm from the night of
Friday, the 16th of February, when he died.
These were the circumstances which he had to
detail to them in evidence ; and he should now
say a_few words upon the law of the case. If
two parties quarrelled, and in the heat of pas-
sion, or before their feelings had time to cool,
and reason to resume her influence, went forth in
a hostile manner towards each other, and that
one of them lost his life, the law would deem it
not murder) but manslaughter. But if (no mat-
ter what was the provocation or original circum-
stances attending the quarrel) a sufficient time
had elapsed between the provocation and the ca-
tastrophe, so as to afford presumption that the
passions had cooled, then the law allowed no
mitigation of its severity, and the parties im-
plicated incurred all the penalties of com-
mitting wilful murder. The law, which
was framed to restrain the impetuosity of hu-
man passion, allowed no man to become the

avenger of his own quarrel : the law provided
redress for any injury that could be inflicted upon
any man, and all were bound to resort to that
law for redress. 'There remained but one consi-
deration more, and that was, whether any doubts
were entertained in the minds of the Jury as to
the prisoners at the bar being the persons en-
gaged in the transaction ; if so, they were., of
course, bound to acquit them. Of this he had
no expectation. It would rest with the Jury to
take all the facts of the case into their most se-
rious consideration, and to return that verdict
which their own consciences, after mature deli-
beration, dictated.

The first witness was Mr. Thomas Joseph Pet-
tigrew.. He had no 4 he said, been acquainted
with the dtceimea, btt he knew, for many years,
Patmore, who called open him on Friday
evening, the 16th February-, and stated that, in
consequence of something which had arisen out
of an affair between Mr. Scott and Mr. Lock-
hart, Mr. Patmore requested hint (Mr. Petti-
grew) to attend in the neighbourhood of Chalk
Farm on the same evening. lie went there ac-
cordingly, in a postchaise, accompanied by his
pupil, W. B. Morris: He got to the lane lead-
ing to Chalk Farm about eight o'clock on the
same evening. It was moonlight. They pro-
ceeded through the lane towards the fields,
and at last reached the top of the hill.
He •then saw some Gentlemen in a field,
two of them walking backwards and forwards,
and two others by the side of the hedge.
He then heard the knocking of pistols,
the priming of them, and flashing of pans.
Soon afterwards both pistols were fired. He
heard the sound, and saw the flash. He next
heard an exclamation from one of the gentlemen,
as if wounded. Witness got over the hedge, and
found Mr. Scott on his knees on the ground.
He pointed out to witness his being wounded on
the right side; the other gentlemen were support-
ing him. At that time there was no conversation.
Witness partly undressed Mr. Scott, and examined
the wound. Mr. Scott was fainting. One of the
gentlemen (which of them he does not know)
came up and took him by the hand, and ex-
pressed a wish that he had himself, rather than
Mr. Scott, been in his situation. This was when
Mr. Scott was fainting; upon his recovery, he
said—" Whatever :nay be the issue of this case, I
beg you all to bear in remembrance that every
thing has been fair and honourable." Daring the
time witness was examining the wound, an alter-
cation took place between Mr. Patmore and
another gentleman. He did not distinctly hear
the whole of the conversation, except that Mr.
Patmore said—" Why was it not communicated
to me—l knew nothing of it ?" A gentleman,
during this altercation, came up to witness, and
asked him if the wound was mortal. He answered
he feared it was, if it entered the cavity of the
abdomen. The gentleman was in great agony,
wringing his hands, and exclaimed—" G 0.3 d God !
why was I permitted to fire a second time ? I
fired down the field—l could do no more." No-
thing more passed on the spot. The wound was
the cause of Mr. Scott's death.

Cross examined by Mr. GURNEY.—The Gen-
tleman alluded to did say that when he fired
down the field the first times he was obliged to
fire the second time in his own defence—he al).
peared certainly in great agony, and manifested
the most humane solicitude for Mr. Scott. Wit-
ness left them in the act of carrying him to the
house.

Witness said, in answer to questions by the
Judge, the night was not sufficiently clear to dis-
tinguish the persons of either of the two Gentle-
men whom be saw in the field.

Wm. Bevill Morris examined by Mr. WALFORD.
—On his way to Chalk-farm on the evening men-
tioned in the indictment, he was in a chaise with
Mr. Pettigrew,and heard the report of a pistol shot.
They made for the spot, and they heard a noise
like ramming pistols, and two heads appeared
above the hedge ; on his approach he saw two
gentlemen presenting pistols at each other, they
fired, and the one nearest him on the right fell.
He went and assisted to raise him from the ground.
A conversation ensued between two of the •gen-
tlemen, one, he believed, was Mr. Patmore, the
other he does not know. By Mr. Pettigrew's
desire, he went for the •postchaise in which they
came down. On his return for the chaise he was
stopped at the farm-house, and on returning to-

wards the field found they were bringing the
deceased on a shutter towards Chalk-farm: Four
or five gentlemen were round hito. The pri-
soner, ailstie) was 'one of those in the room,
but he caf:ii't say if he was in the field.
Hoili Watson is landlord of Chalk Farm ; re-
members some gentlemen coming on the evening
the affair happened, about a quarter to nine o'clock,
and had a bottle of wine. lie should not know them
again. About 90 minutes after they had left the
house an alarm was given of an accident having
occurred in the field. On bringing Mr. Scott in,
he remembers the two gentlemen at the bar being
there ; soon after the latter of the two (Mr.
Christie) went away. They conducted them,
selves with humanity towards Mr. Scott.
James Ryan was 'hostler at Chalk-farm tavern
he remembered, on the Friday evening, some
gentlemen having had a bottle of wine at his mas-
ter's; they stopped 20 minutes) but he ktiew not
who they were. lie afterwards described their
departure ; and soon -after the alarm of an acci-
dent in the field he went forth; and found a
wounded gentleman ; he assisted to get him upon
a shutter, with the assistance of four or five other
gentlemen present) who came when he called
them. They took the wounded gentleman into
the house. He had no knowledge of the gentle.
men who were present on the occasion.
Thomas Smith is a carpenter, and lived at
that time at Kentish Town. lie was at work at
Chalk Farm when the alarm was given, and went '
to, the field with Ryan. The prisoner Trail was
one of the gentlemen in the field.
Dr. George Darling is a physician, living in
Brunswick-square." lie was called on by Mrs.
Scott to attend Mr. J. Scott, in the middle of the
night between Friday and Saturday; he found
him sensible, but he certainly was in great dans.
ger. Witness communicated to him his opinion,
Mr. Scott asked if the wound was necessarily
mortal ; and he was answered it was not neces-
sarily mortal. He was told that it was just pos.:
sable his intestines might not have been perforated)
in which case recovery was possible. Mr. Scott
then inquired of Surgeon Guthrie, and said, " I
have only one question to ask—ls my wound ne-
cessarily mortal ?" The answer given was—
" Not necessarily." This was before the ball
was extracted. Mr. Guthrie added, that it was
a case of the greatest danger ; but lie had seen
recovery from similar wounds. Mr. Scott replied,
" I am satisfiedi." and laid his head down on the
pillow again: Mr. Scott made a statement to
witness of what took place in the field. The
conversation respecting his state of danger took
place at the first visit, on the following morning
(Saturday morning) before the ball was extracted.
Mr. GURNEY left it to the Court whether Mr.
Scott's statement, under the circumstances, could
be received in evidence.

The LORD CIIIEF JUs'licE, Mr. Justice PARK,
and Mr. COMMON' SEROEANT, consulted together
for a short time, when his Lordship delivered the
opinion of the Court that the statement could not
be received, as it did not appear that Mr. Scott
thought himself at the point of death at the time
when he made the declaration : he had been told

that his wound was not necessarily mortal, unless
the intestines were perforated. There might
have been still a hope that that had not taken
place which rendered the wound mortal. The
declaration could not, therefore, be received in
the sense of that of a dying man.
Mr. WALFORD having closed his case on the
part of the prosecution,

- Mr. GwtNrY left his place in Courts and com-
municated for some moments with the defendants.
. The LORD CItIEF JUSTICE then informed Mr.
Christie that the period for his defence had
arrived.

Mr, Christie, in a voice almost unatidible from
emotion, said that he should merely call wit-
nesses to his general character and habits of life.
Mr. Trail, to a similar intimation From the
Bench, replied in the same terms used by Mr.
Christie.

Mr. GURNEY thee called, successively, the
Rev. Thomas Griffiths, Mr. Robert Baker, sur-
geon ; Mr. Dubois, M Serrier, Mr. Groonie,
Mr. W, Ford, Mr. Wateley, and Mr. Amos, bar-
risters ; Dr. Jenkins, master of Baliol College ;
the Rev. W. Nicholl, Mr. Tate, the Rev, W.
Knight, Mr. R. Swain, attorney-at-law; Mr. Her-
ring, conveyancer ; Mr. Russell, law student ;
the Rev. J. Williams, Mr. W. James) Mr, E.
Blount, Mr. W. Colmar, special pleader; Mr.
Connell, and Mr. John Balfour, M. 135 and Dr.
Geldhardt. The majority of these gentlemen
deposed to long and intimate acquaintance with
both the defendants ; and all bore witness to the
general humanity and benevolence of their dis-
positions.

The Loan CHIEF` JUSTICE then, after stating
to the Jury the nature of the indictment, pro-
ceeded to instruct them as to the law of the
case. The accusation charged three persons as
aiding and concurring in the death of Mr. Scott :
two individuals only appeared ; but if the Jury
believed that the individuals at the bar were
really two of those who had aided in the com-
mission of the crime, it mattered not by whose
particular hand the pistol had been discharged.
The distinction, in cases of duels, between man-
slaughter and murder, had been very clearly and
correctly marked out by the Learned Counsel
for the prosecution : if parties in heat of blood
went out and fought with deadly weapons, then
the law, allowing for the frailty of human
nature, deemed the party killing guilty of
manslaughter only ; but if, yielding to a '
false notion of honour, they went out upon
deliberation, and in cool blood, to fight,
then the death of one man fixed the crime
of murder upo❑ all concerned, upon seconds
(frequently the more culpable parties) as well
as upon principals. The first question then was
—were the prisoners at the bar two of the parties
known to have been in the field at the time when
the shot was fired ? and was the duel fought in
heat of blood, or upon deliberation ? His Lord-
ship then recapitulated the main points of evi-
dence, and upon that evidence, left the fact of
identity to the Jury. It wal possible, he said,
that the real perpetrators of the crime might
have escaped from the field before the ar-
rival of Mr. Pettigrew, and that the priso-
ners at the bar might have appeared acci-

dehtally at the moment ; still the onus of
sheaving that such had been the case lay in some measure - upon them. Upon the se-
, cond points his Lordship continued, the feeling
under which (assuming the identity) the duel had
taken place there was little in proof before the
jury. Of the time or place at which the quarrel
, originated; there was no evidence ; and although
between the time at which Mr. Patinore first
ap-
plied to Mr.Pettigrew) and the time of the meet-
ing at Chalk Farm, there was tertainly space
enough for reflection ; yet it was possible that, at
the moment of Mr. Patmore's application to his
surgeon, the meeting might not have been con-
templated by Mr. Trail or Mr. Christie. The
declaration of Mr. Scott at the moment of his fall
that all had been done fairly and honourably,
wash although the law would not recognise such
ideas of honour, entitled to the attention of the
jury ; and there was another circumstance arising
out of the words of the supposed Mr. Christie, to
which their consideration should be directed. The
words to which his Lordship alluded were these
—" Why was I allowed to fire a second time ?
I fired down the field at first; what could I do
more ? I was compelled to fire in my own de-
fence." Now the circumstances were not such,
as would, in law, acquit a man as having fired in
his own defence; but the words might have art
operation upon the feeling under which the se-
cond shot—for that was the shot which did the
mischief—had been fired. The parties might
have met deliberately and in cool blood, and
under those circumstances the first fire might
have taken place. Had death followed that fire,
such death would have been murder; but it was
possible that Mr. Christie, having forborne to
'take aim the first time, might have fired the se-
cond shot under an impulse of immediate anger
produced by the failure of his pacific proceeding;
and, in that case, although his adversary fell,
the crime amounted only to manslaughter.—
The Lord Chief Justice concluded by recom-
mending to the Jury, in. a case of doubt, to take
the side of mercy, and by observing (upon the
excellent characters which the prisoners had re-
ceived) that, unfortunately, men of the most ex-
emplary humanity and benevolent feeling were
too often led to take part in transactions which
led to the loss of life on one side, and to remorse
and repentance during life on the other.
The JURY, after a deliberation of 25 minutes,
returned a verdict of—Not Guilty.
When the verdict was pronounced, a death-
like silence prevailed throughout. the Court.
Mr. Trail immediately caught Mr. Christie by
the hand, and he remained for some seconds as if
in a mixed mood of profound reflection and inex-
pressible gratitude ; his hand uplifted to his
mouth, and his eye bent rather towards the
ground than to the Jury. After a few seconds
more he turned towards the Jury, and bowed
most respectfully to them. Mr. Christie and
Mr. Trail immediately left the dock, and on
their passage throughout the Court received the-
hearty congratulations of their mutual friends.
During the trial their demeanor was of the mild-.
est description ; -and while the Jury were delibe-
rating Mr. Christie occasionally cast an anxious
look at them. Mr. Trail preserved a calmness
and a confidence throughout. We never saw the
Court so respectably filled, nor so soon emptied
of eager and attentive spectators.
BANK Pftostcd;tiONS.—No less than 30 indi-
viduals, of whom 25 were men, 4-females, and
one a child under 13 years of age, pleaded guilty
before the Common Sergeant to the offenc,' of
having forged notes in their possession, knowio;
them to have been forged, and. were sentenced to
transportation beyond the seas for 14 years.

CORN-EXCHANGE, Arun. 13.—A consitbrable quantity of
Wheat remained over from Wednesday's market ; and, in :Kt'
dition to which we had a few fresh arrivals this, morning florrt
Suffolk, but the demand for Wheat being very trifling, the
sales were extremely heavy, even for the finest qualities,' AI
Monday's prices, whilst the inferior samples could not be 014
offat an abatement of 2s. per quarter; in fact, the prices 're
quite nominal.—The Barley trade was very heavy, at a declin.c
of Is. per quarter.—Oats are Is. per quarter cheaper, the arr.'
vals being very large, and far exceed the demand—ju Pe
and Peas there is no alteration.
SMITHFIELD, APRIL 13.—There was a good supply of al
descriptions of Cattle at market this morning ; every descrir
tion of Meat is lower in price, except Lamb; the tall of ell
morning's market is owing to a great supply of Irish Pork, an"
the market was very heavy.
