" QUIS DICERE FALSUM 4 UDEAT ?

LONDON,
THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 18'21.

Tile Paris Journals of Monday reached us
this morning. Their contents are of a very war-
like nature. The Russian armies on the fron-
tiers increase in such a manner as to leave
little doubt of war. General Count WITT-
:"sTEIN had arrived at Kisthenow with
"e divisions, and four others were closely
following him: Two regiments of Iletaerists
were to be raised, and various accounts concur
in repeating that the Greeks were still maintain-
L P a Guerilla warfare against the Turks ,in
eldavia with various success. Such of them as
fall into the hands of the Turks are most bar-
barously treated; these barbarians cutting off
41 arm or a foot of some, roasting them, and •corn-
Pelting these unfortunate prisoners to eat their
°h" flesh, Many spies sent across the Pruth
by
RJussup PACHA, to ascertain the force of the
ussians, had been seized by the latter. They
ere chiefly •Jews and Moldavians. These
4cenunts appear in the Journal des Debuts,
?der the head of " Suezawa in the Bukowina,
Fu I 28)" and are repeated in the Gazette de
trr-"
ce) and the Journal de Paris, in an article
-lh.Gn'' Vienna, dated August 9. The Constitutionel
4ngsburg,der Aug. 14), says, that the Rus-
sian
divisions in Bessarabia amount to 60,000
:en' The Turks affirm they have also 60,000
:11 in Moldavia ; but it is probable they have
30)000, ill armed, mounted, and clothed,
sad
---°t equal to contend with half the number
13r4ussians.

Ali article from Odessa, of the 7.7 th of July,
'unicates a most important piece of intern-
-411: cethe defeat of another Turkish fleet by
Greeks on the I.Bth of last month. This
-count Was brought to Odessa by the kmister of
Russian Vessel,
0 21st. Which left Constantinople on
The Turkish
k'") shi fleet, consisting of
1004 Ps of the line, three frigates, three cor-
,,es
two brigs, and tl '
nay vessels, sailed

from Constantinople on the 0.111 of July, undee
the command of CARA-ALI, to avenge the
losses suffered by their first fleet in June last.
It passed through the Dardanelles on the 18th
of July, and was immediately attacked by the
Greek fleet which was lying off Tenedos, watch-
ing for its appeanance. The Greeks, after an
obstinate conflict, captured two frigates- and
eighteen of the small vessels, and pursued the
remainder of the fleet under the very guns of the
castles of the Dardanelles. As soon as the report of
this disaster reached Constantinople, the Turks
dragged- 300 Greeks in the space of a few
hours from their homes, and cruelly murdered
them. Drownings and stranglings are again the
order of the day. It does not appear whether the
English fleet took up its station near Tenedos,
before or after the last engagement between
the Turks'. and Greeks, but an article from'
Vienna states, that our fleet is actually cruizing
off the entrance of the Dardanelles, in sight of
the Greek squadron. The Odessa article fur-
ther says that the Russian ultimatum had been
; received by the DIY' AN, but no decision had been
come to by the Porte. Baron DE STROGONOFF is
still a close prisoner at Buyukdere.
The accountsfroM Madrid represent the pro-
vinces of Spain as still the prey.of civil disorders.
Several bands of insurgents assemble in great
force, and bid defiance to all 'the efforts of
the _Government for their destruction. The
famous TRES: PANEZ ALIAz, one of the chief
actors in' the massacres at Cadiz on the ,10th
of March 1820, has been executed. We are
concerned to. have to s report that assassinations
have recommenced at Saragossa with more fury
than ever, and that the yellow fever of the worst
nature has appeared at Barcelona, supposed to
have been introduced into that city by a vessel
from the Havannah. Strict measures are pur-
Suing to subdue this dreadful malady, and to
prevent its spread beyond the quarter. in which
it made its first appearance.

We this morning received Spanish Papers and
a Flanders Mail, of which the following are the
chief contents

" CADIZ, JULY 30.—According to accounts
from Rio de Janeiro of the 18th May, the Spa-
nish army of Peru had its vanguard commanded
by General Canterac at Chaucal, at the end of
February. San Martin was at lluaru, and had
sent thirty-nine of his officers to Chili. The
reason of this measure was not known.

" It is said that the English corvette The Ler-
ner, which sailed on the 28th for Gibraltar, was
met on the evening of the same day by a pirate,
which taking it for a Spanish merchantman, had
the boldness to attack it.

" CEUTA, Jur.r 23.—.8y inquiries made on
the 15th fist., we learn the following particulars
of the affairs of Morocco :—That the discharge
of artillery, and many other rejoicings at Te-
tuan, were on account of a victory gained by
Muley Zeid with his army of 30,000 men over
that of his uncle Soliman of 28,000, between
New Fez and Old Fez, at a place called El
Pal Mar ; that Zeid had caused six of the Gene-
rals of Soliman to be beheaded, and also a famous
Christian engineer. Zeid had 600 men killed in
the battle, and Soliman 5,500 killed and pri-
soners. The battle was on the 7th. The heads
of the persons above-mentioned are fixed up over
the gates of Tetuan. Zeid, with half his army,
was at Marguinez, and the other half in Old
Fez ; but. that all would unite at the first place,
and likewise an army of Blacks, who had pro-
claimed Zeid Emperor. Soliman was retreating,
with the rest of his army, 20 leagues from New
Fez : that Zeid, after the battle, attacked that
city, wh:ch shut its gates against him : he raised
batteries against it, with which he destroyed its
walls, palaces, and many houses. After the
firing had lasted five days, the women and chil-
dren, and old people, came oat with the books
of the law to beg for money, which he granted,
on their proclaiming him Emperor. Zeid is said
to have taken a solemn oath on the books of the
raw not to lay down his arms till-his uncle is
killed. He is very angry with the Jews of
Tetuan for having alarmed those of 'Gibraltar,
which has induced the English to break off all
commerce with Barbary.

" MADRID, A uotts-r 9.---An extraordinary
Gazette has been published to day, containing.
a dispatch from the Governor-of Port Reio, an-
nouncing the re-capture of Carraccas by General
Morales on the 7th May, and the total defeat of
Bermudez : it states that General Latorre -had
defeated the- army of Bolivar.
" BRUSSEPS, AUGUST 18.—The Duke.of Wel-
lington has successively inspected the line of
fortresses along the Meuse from Dinant to
Maestricht ; he has every _where expressed his
satisfaction with the works, which are advancing
rapidly, and the execution of which does honour
to the engineers who are charged with the direc-
tion of them. The Castles of Namur and of
Huy, in particular, were highly praised by his
Grace. On the other hand we learn from the
frontiers of France that a certain. jealousy is ex-
cited by the erection of a line of fortresses in the
south part of our Kingdom, from Niewport to
Luxemburg.
" VIENNA, AUG. B.—The last letters from
Odessa confirm-the accounts of the defeat of the
Algerine squadron by the Greeks, who took se-
veral vessels.

AUGSBU RG, AUG. 13.—We hear that Prince
Alexander Ypsilanti, accompanied by an Aus-
trian Officer, who bad arrived in Hungary, has
been conducted to the fortress of Munkats, an
unhealthy place, where priSoners arrested for
political transgressions are 'usually confined.
" BRUSSELS,
_AUG, 19.—Last night. a courier
arrived here from Paris, with dispatches for

the British Ambassador, who immediately sent
him back with dispatches to Paris.
" A great number of persons, both in car-
riages and ou foot, have set out this morning for
Louvain, to be present at the double Jubilee of
the 150th anniversary of the renewal of the Arch-
brotherhood of the Holy Rosary, and the 250th
anniversary of the famous Victory of Lepanto
over the Turks, in 1571. On no occasion since
this signal triumph of Christendom over the bar-
_barons Mussulmen, has the celebration of it ex-
cited more interest than at this moment, when
we see Christiins suffering the most horrible
cruelties from their most ferocious and implacable
enemies."

CT! kitLESTON, JULY 19.—Th(* French sloop of
war Zetc, 20 days from Guadaloupe, arrived at
Norfolk. She is recently from Cayenne, and has
on hoard as passenger Mr. LE3PARD, Aid-de-
Camp of the Governor of that Island, who has
come out on business. Off St. Batts the ZeMe
fell in with a French squadron, commanded by
Admiral DUPENE, who was looking out for pi-
rates, which continually infest these seas.
Extract of a Letter from an Officer iately arrived at Philadel-

phia from Mexico, to his friend in Baltimore.
" All the inhabitants of Mex:co are now undeceived. The
insurrection is general since the 2404 of February last; when
Colonel Iturhide proclaimed the' intelietidente a' the country
at the head of the troops of the Viceroy. All the towns which
have been taken have surrendered without spilling a drop of
blood. Mexico and Vera Cruz are on the eve of being entirely
free. Never was the cause of liberty so prosperous as at pre-
sent. The insurgents of Mexico are in possession of the port.
of Alverado, near Vera Cruz. I hope that, ere three or four
months we hall be able to return to Mexico, and receive the
reward due to our services and privations." -

GOVERNMENT REDUCTIONS.—We are again
obliged to postpone the further consideration of
this sufiject. We are truly glad to see, however,
that the severe measure, wit:l which the Clerks
in the Public Offices are threatened, has excited,
as we expected, the sympathy of periodical
writers of.all parties,.and - that the Daily News-
papers, in particular, now warmly advocate their
cause. Perseverance in this humane course, we
trust, may even yet be crowned with success.

Mr. BIRNIE, by his evidence before the Coro.
net's Inquest on RicnAanNsly, has disproved
some of the statements respecting the manner in
which the witnesses were represented to have
been treated, when they were -admitted to in-
spect the military. We have conversed with
more than one person who saw the unfortunate
tumult which produced the fatil.result now un-
der investigation. Those persons, on whose ve-
racity we would place unbounded reliance, con-
cur in stating that the military were treated in
the most brutal manner by the populace, before
they resorted to the use of their fire'-arnis ; and
that their patience and forbeirrafice were not ex-
hausted until it became absolutely necessary for
them to repel force with force, in- defence of
their own lives. We state these facts, not with
any view to bias the Inquest, nor to prejudice
the ultimate investigation of this melancholy
affair, should it be sent before a superior tri-
bunal. Indeed, we are.Avellawares that no-state-
inents but such as are given in as evidence on
oath can have any influence whatever on the
decision, in any stage of the proceedings. Our
sole object is, to recommend that all persons-
who saw the fatal affray should frankly come
forward, and offer Ahemselves for examination.
Every consideration of
.duty and of humanity de-
mands that they should not hesitate to adopt this
course. After the mass of criminatory evidence
which has been gone through, it is particularly
incumbent upon all persons- having any know-
ledge of exculpatory facts, to step forward and
establish those facts by their *oaths. Nothing
less than the lives of some of their fellow-crea-
tures, the interests of jUstice,. the satisfaction of
the public mind, and the tranquillity of the
country, are at stake. They should remember,
too; that, independent of a sense of duty, under
which we doubt not that most of the witnesses for
the prosecution have acted, in all cases affecting the
measures of Government and the conduct of the
Civil and Military Authorities, the spirit of fac-
tion evinces itself with its usual active malig-
nity. On the other hand, exculpatory evidence
can be offered from a sense of titity alone, and
that sense, we trust, will be strong enough, in
all parties having knowledge -of the transaction,
to overcome those feelings of delicacy or repug-
. mince, at the idea of making a public exhibition
of themselves, -which we know frequently deter
respectable persons from appearing on legal
proceedings. .
