HAGUE, JULY 23.

" VIENNA, JULY 11.—From a private commu-
nication it has been observed, especially of late,
that the Austrian Obserrer is much inclined to
spread reports unfavourable to the Greeks, and
to represent their cause as hopeless. Whenever
an opportunity offers, it praises the disci-
pline and conduct of the Turks in Walla-
chia, and vehemently reproaches the troops of
Ypsilanti. The same is the case with other jour-
nals published in Austria. From this and other
circumstances, it is inferred, that some persons
of influence in our Ministry would regret the
establishment of the independence of Greece,
and earnestly desire that things should remain
in Turkey in the same state. The present re-
lations between Russia and the Porte alarm
them ; they will by no means agree that war
may break out between those two Powers :
and as they cannot deceive themselves so far
as to overlook the conduct of the Porte to
Baron Strogonoff, they load that Minister with
the most violent invectives, saying that he
has exceeded his powers, and has interfered in
the internal concerns of the Porte : that his con-
duct has been calculated to excite the displeasure
of the Sultan, and the Divan, and that his Court
must publicly disavow his proceedings and recal
him, with an apology to the Porte.—From all the
letters which deserve any credit, it appears that
those Gentlemen will soon be better informed."—

THE CONSTITUTIONAL ASSOCIATION.—We have
attentively examined the proceedings on the re-
cent trial of MARY ANN CARLILE, at the prose-
cution of this Society; and we have vigilantly
watched the conduct and language of the avowed
enemies of the Association since, in order to dis-
cover if, on that occasion, any evidence had been
produced of improper agency on the part of the
Constitutional Association, or even if there had
been any circumstances which the ingenuity or
malice of its opponents could so distort, as to sup-
port the charge of unlawful or corrupt agency.
'We rejoice to say (and we can say it without the
probability of contradiction) that there has been
neither. Though our sentiments respecting the ex-
pediency of the measures pursued by the Society are
pretty well known, we rejoice sincerely at the tri-

umphant attitude in which it still stands, be=
cause we should be sorry indeed to find that an
Institution, comprising many of the first charac-
ters in. the country amongst its members, and
having a most laudable object, the protection of
the laws, institutions, am:Nconstitutron, of the
empire from violation, 'tad either been illegally
constituted. _or had committed itself -by the em-
ployment ofnitlawful or even improper means
for the furtherance of its purposes. So far as
the conduct of the Society itt the case of MARY
ANN CARLILE is concerned, there has now been,
ample time for the malice and ingenuity of its
enemies to give the worst possible colouring to
Its proceedings ; and it cannot but be gratifying
to the Association, and to the friends of Good
Order in general, to find that ingenuity has ex-
hausted itself in vain, and that the malice of its
enemies has proved nothing but their own impo.
tence. The manner.in which they have gloatd
over the escape of CARLILE, notwithstanding
their admissions of the wicked and mischievous
tendency of the proceedings of that family, shews
any thing but a sincere respect for the laws, or a
desire to see justice impartially administered.
Indeed one of them, in the ebullition of his
hatred to the Constitutional Association, went so
far as to express a belief that if CARLILE had been
tried at the instance of any other prosecutor, the
Jury would not have hesitated to pronounce her
guilty. This is far from being a compliment
to the Jury with whose conduct they affect to be
so well satisfied. The simple question for them
to consider was the guilt or innocence of the ac-
cused. They were bound by their oaths to de-
termine on the criminality or innocence of the
publication charged to be libellous, and on the
fact of its having been published by the party
charged in the indictment ;—and not on theld-
gality or illegality of the Society by which the
prosecution was preferred. If, disregarding the
evidence produced before them, and by whit*''
alone they were sworn to decide, one or snore of
the Jury thought fit to attend to a mere alleosa-
tion which was not at all submitted to their con-
sideration, and regarding which no evidence
whatever had been produced,—and if they per-
sifted in deciding against evidence, from consi-
derations entirely foreign to their duty, it is easy
to see that their conduct affords any thing but a,
triumph to the enemies of the Society, and only
an escape, not a victory, to the party put LW's'
her trial.—The dismissal of the Jury, without a
verdict, was a mischievous precedent,which maY
in future be regretted.

We have great pleasure in referring Or
Readers. to an advertisement in the front pagcy
completely exculpatory of the character of Mr.
BODKIN, Honorary Secretary to the mENDIcror
SOCIETY, from a charge preferred against him lY'
the managing proprietor of The Times newspaper'
On his MAJEsTy's first visit to Drury-Lane
Theatre, The Times had thought fit, with its
usual disregard to truth, to indulge in ,positive
assertions, as from its own knowledge and
ob-
servation, that the audience had been packed/
&c. &c. Now it seems that, after these asset.'
dons, The Times had received two letters, beariq
a false signature, and pretending to corroborgatb°
information on which The Times grounded its
gations. The whole story of the packing
been ascertained to be a gross fabrication, the
proprietor of The Times was naturally au%i°ll•
to shift the responsibility of the falsehoods from
himself to any other person or personspi and cir-
cumstances induced him to fix the charge of \cot'
ing the two surreptitious letters upon Mr. BOP
tux. Mr. BODKIN, upon being interrinate
denied all knowledge of the letters ; but
also produced a wafer stamp which exactly
corresponded with the impression -upon the
seal of the letters, and which seemed to
afford a triumphant confirmation of I‘l"ii
WALTERS'S suspicions. After much trouble "It
painful investigation, hoWever, it was at ier4t
discovered that the letters had been vvr•ite!),7s

and admirers of The Times itself, one of wo

the privacy of Mr. .13onKIN's office, into.wh%
they were unsuspiciously admitted, to writeti"i,
letters in Mr. BODKIN'S absence, to use

a signature which they observed on :)11,),
letters and papers lying about on
