THE MURDER NEAR THAME.

Sewell and Tyler underwent an examination oi
Saturday, in the Magistrate's Chamber at Ayles•
bury, on the charge of murdering Mr. Edden, it
October last. _ _ _

Eleanor Hines, a young woman who cohabited
with Tyler, was examined, whose evidence went to
show that Tyler could not have been concerned in
the murder, as he was in her company at Thame at
the time it was stated to have taken place, or that
his absence from her was of too short a period—not
exceeding in the whole half an hour—that it was
impossible for him to have been in Haddenham field
when the alleged murder was perpetrated.
The prisoners were remanded for further examina-
tion on Wednesday, when Tyler said he would
bring forward other witnesses to prove where he
was on the night in question.
Lord NUGENT (in the presence of Sewell, who
bad been removed from the bar, and afterwards
brought in whilst Hines was giving her evidence)
told Tyler that he felt it right to inform him that
Sewell had admitted they were together that night,
arid that Sewell farther said he had seen him (Tyler)
strike Edden with a hammer.

Elizabeth Jones was at Sunbury five weeks ago
last Sunday. She saw Solomon Sewell, and told
him there was a great outcry at Thame about the
murder of Noble Edden. Sewell said, if he was
taken, Ben Tyler should not be five hours after, for
he was father of all. Witness saw Tyler afterwards
with Sewell, talking. When she was speaking to
Sewell, he shook his finger at Tyler.
The widow of the deceased deposed to having
heard her husband say he saw Tyler and Sewell one
morning on the Crenion-road, about three o'clock,
with something concealed. It was at the time that
Mr. Harding lost his sheep, and in the spring before
his death. On the night of the murder witness was
ironing, and thought she saw her husband rushing by
her, with his arms up as if guarding his head. Wit-
ness put down her iron and run into Mr. Chester's,
and said, " 0 dear! 0 dear! my husband is mur-
dered, and his ribs are broken !" She said she
thought she saw her husband and Tyler; she never
said so before, because she thought it would be con-
sidered only fancy; but if it was so it would come
out. She sent for Tyler to come and see her hus-
band when he was brought home. She asked him
if he would touch the corpse ; he said " No ; he
did not like to touch a corpse." He turned round
and said, " Ah ! the poor man is murdered, sure
enough."
After other evidence had been offered, the Court
broke up, and adjourned to Monday next.

KING'S COLLEGE.—His MAJESTY'S grant
of a Charter to this Institution has, we understand, been
rcceiyed by the Council within the last few days; and de.
dares, in the preamble, that the College is founded with
the intent that " instruction in the duties and doctrines of
Christianity, as taught by the United Church of England
and Ireland, shall be for ever combined with instruction
in the various branches of literature and science." The
Charter appoints the Lord Chancellor and eight others, in
virtue of their office, as perpetual Governors : the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury as \loiter ; eight Life Governors;
one Treasurer ; 24. Members of Council ; and three Audi-

A WOMAN FINED FOR STEALING HER
owx Goosa !—Last week, a curious case came on for
hearing before two Magistrates (not a hundred miles from
Birstal), arising out of the following circumstances :
A woman, residing at Liversedge, had three geese, one of
which had strayed amongst a neighbour's flock, and the
natural consequence was, that she fetched it home. The
owner of the flock (who appeared to be somewhat of a
gander), on learning this, applied for and obtained a war-
rant against the poor woman, although, on counting his
own geese, he found he had the right number. This,
strange as it may appear, was visited by a fine upon the
poor woman of 14s. although she had witnesses present
(of whom she bought the goose in dispute) to prove it was
her own property, but whom the Magistrates refused to
examine. Query—Can so " geosish" a charge of felony
be compounded ?—.Leeds Intelligencer.

A few days ago, as E. THORNTON was reap-
ing, he inflicted a serious wound upon his ankle with the
sickle, which was aggravated by his fellow-labourer having
advised him to apply a plaster4tobacco. This excited so
great a degree of inflammation; that on his being removed
to the Casualty Hospital it was with great difficulty that
the amputation of his leg, or perhaps the loss of his life,
was prevented ; but by means of great care and attentio.,
he is now gradually recovering...Cheltenham Chronielc.

PARIS, AUG. 27.—We have this moment re-
ceived the following communication :
" PARIS, AUG. 27.—Sir,—I beg you to have the
goodness to insert the following letter in the next
number of your journal;
" I am, Sir, &c.
" The Minister of Marine and Colonies,
" BARON D'HAUSSEZ."
" TO BARON D'IIAUSSEZ, MINISTER OF MARINE.

- -------
" Sir,—l have just read in a journal the following

article :

" M. d'Haussez wrote to Count Roy before -big
was appointed Minister of the Marine, that he eon-
gratulated himself that he did not make part of the
new Administration, which appeared to him so un-
popular that he doubted its duration. M. Roy has
shown his letter to several persons when a report
was spread that M. d'Haussez was appointed
Minister.

" It is very true tharsince my retirement from the
Ministry you have done me the honour to write to
me to repeat the testimonies of attachment which I
have constantly received from you, but your letter
contained nothing similar to what is insinuated in
the article which I have just quoted, and it is false
that I have shown it to any person whatever.
" You may make, Sir, whatever use you please of
my letter. I beg your Excellency to accept the as-.
surance of my distinguished consideration.
(Signed) " ROY."

"Paris, Aug. 26."
The Princess de Polignac, who left London on the
19th with her family, has just arrived at Paris.
The following is an abridged report of the trial
from the Gazette des Tribunau.r :
As had been expected, the court where this trial
was heard was excessively crowded. As soon as
the doors were opened, the people rushed in en
masse; and so great was the noise and confusion,
that the Court was obliged to adjourn for three
quarters of an hour. The Duke de Chartres was
present, and took his seat on the right of the magis.
Btraetretisn; and
de among
mthe aectillidni,toy Deputies, tiies,Claainrdles Dupi
Guizot,
Cousin, and Villemain were observed. When the
Court resumed, M. Bertin, sen., the chief editor of
the Journal des Wats, said that he was desirous of
taking upon himself all the responsibility of the ar-
ticle which was the subject of the present proceed-
ing. After receiving it from the writer, he stated
that he had altered the phraseology in many parts,
and suppressed some portions of it.
M. Bequet, being interrogated, said that his ar-
ticle had certainly undergone some alteration, but
still it had been the free expression of his opinion.
M. LEVAVASSEUR, the King's Advocate, theta
opened the case. He said the cause which was
now about to be tried afforded a mournful example
of the progress which the licentiousness of the press
had made. Hitherto, however violently the deposi-
tories of poWer might have been attacked, the King's
person appeared always to be respected. The jour-
nals acknowledged, that being placed beyond time
sphere of those passions which agitate other men, to
him was due the public gratitude for whatever good
was effected, but to him none of the evil was to be
imputed. At present, however, this was no longer
the case. The Ministers of the King were no longer
attacked. It was the King himself—he, who cats
have no judges on earth, because he knows no equal,
still less master—he is dragged before the tribunal
of opinion. The most independent acts of his pre-
rogative become the objects of bitter censure, and it
is not hesitated to be said, that between him and
his people there exists only the bond of fear, be-
cause that of confidence and affection is burst.
The circumstances which had led to this auda-
ciousness were well known. The King in his wis-
dom thought proper to change the ministry and to
call near him those whose devotion and fidelity be
was sure of. (Here murmurs interrupted the speaker.)
The President directed silence, and stated that he
would visit with severe punishment any one who
should either express-applause or disapprobation.

- _
M. LEVAVASSEUR continued—As soon as the
King had called to his Councils those on whorls he
could rely, an outcry was made, and accusations of
the worst character were directed against the new
Ministry. While those attacks were confined to
the Ministers they were silent, but they could not
quietly behold the King himself attacked. " Thus,"
said the Editor of the Journal des Debals," behold
again broken the bond which united the people to
the King." Now, there were two interpretations
of this passage; either that the King no longer loves'
his people, and had no more confidence in his sub-
jects, or that the people no longer loved their King,
and had no more confidence in him. In the first
case, M. Levavasseur denied that the King had lost
the confidence of his people. His reign had always
been mild, and it was but lately, in one of the most
so'emn ceremonies of religion, he appeared without
distrust in the midst of that people which was said
to dread him. Was his countenance less calm ?
was his look less serene ?—was his guard less nu-
merous ?—(Laughter, and cries of" more numerous.")
He thought he need scarcely attempt to prove the
criminality of charging the King with want of affec-
tion for his people. Was not love for his people
the best attribute of a king ? Was not the imputa-
tion of a contrary sentiment,
" Aux plus cruel tyrans, la phis cradle injure ?"
_ _

and would it change its character when addressed
to the successor of Louis XII., of Henry IV., and
the Martyr King ? The people no longer love their
King. If this were true to whom was it to be at-
tributed but to those diurnal declamations, the ob-

ject of which was, to misrepresent the sentiments of
the King, and falsify his intentions. M. Levavasseur,
then alluded to the case of M. Syrieys de Mayrinhar,
a member of the Elective Chamber, who thought
proper to speak of the enemies of the King. The
orator, however, only alluded to some enemies of the
King, whereas the article in question speaks of the
whole of France possessing a feeling of indifference,
if not of hatred, towards the King. The attack of
the deputy was repressed: so will that of the jour-
nalist be.

from whom emanated all grace and all justice, who

rights, he was not to be allowed freely to exercise st

sitaries of his authority to obtain above all theap-
probation, not of his people, but of certain journals ;
and whether he should be so little master of his con-
fidence as not to be able to bestow it any where
without the fear of seeing himself declared in the
Journal des Debals deprived of his right to the af-
fection of the French. M. Levavasseur called upon
the Court for the infliction of the punishment
ordained by the law against M. Berth], leaving M.
Bequet to be dealt with according to the pleasure of
the Court.

M. DUPIN, sen., on the part of M. Bertin, said,
he was there to defend the liberty, not the licen-
tiousness of the press. After the closing of a ses-
sion, which, far from being menacing to the power
of the King, was unjustly considered by some as
eharaetcriz(d by weakness—after the separation of
the great bodies of the State, and when every per-
son was reposing, tasting the sweetness of a first
sleep, the nation felt herself suddenly awakened by

events which had led to the present proceeding. If
the Gazette de France, which had been the precut.-

tor of the present Ministry, and now attempted to
direct its march, was to be believed, this prosecu-
tion was intended to stop the progress of the Jam-
-1.);:t and Imperialist conspiracy. He, however, said,
that the Journal des Debats was religious, was
Royalist, and had been proscribed during the em-
pire. He denied that it was a correct interpreta-
tion of that part of the article quoted, to say either
the King no longer loved the people, or the people
na longemloved the King; but he said no one was
bound to love the King. Regent honorificate was
the precept, and with honour it stopped. In his
*opinion, if any King gained the affections of his
people, it was Charles X. ; still he asserted that no
(tom wta bound to love the King, and that very often
there were very good reasons for not loving him at
The article stated, that the bond which bound
the people to the Sovereign was broken, but it did
ttot. follow that it was broken for ever; and that
.o*.mbrht not to be inferred. M. Dupin then com-
mented very minutely upon the article charged.
He denied that any charges were made in it against
the King, but that they were entirely directed
against a faction in the State. The King and the
people, he said, were throughout joined together,

and were considered as partaking of the same fate.
You talk of Whigs and Tories," said he, " but
Mr. Canning and Lord Wellington commenced no
'prosecutions against the press. They have explained
their doctrines. If you wish to imitate the example
of England, imitate it in this point."
M. DUPIN then said, " We are told to wait till
we see the acts of the Ministry before we condemn
them." That would only be waiting till the antici-
pated evil was consummated. The whole of France
was alarmed at the accession of the new Ministry to

power, and he alluded to a speech of M. de la
Bourdonnaye, reprinted in the Journal des Debals,
as a proof that the alarm which was excited was
not without ground. He concluded by stating, that
the Court were the dcfewlers of the press, in the
absence of a jury. The article brought before the
Court, instead of containing an offence against the
King, expressed affection for him. In the King was
still the hope of the nation. He might choose, if
possible, worse Ministers, and would yet be obeyed:
but justice ought always to remain the same ; and
what had been permitted to the Gazelle de France
to say on a former occasion, ought now to be per-
mitted to the Journal des Debuts.

The King's Advocate having shortly replied, the
Court, after an hour and a half's deliberation, found
M. Bertin guilty, and condemned him to six months'
imprisonment, and to pay a fine of 500 francs and
the expenses; and acquitting M. Bequet, as his arti-
cle had been altered and appropriated by I. Bertin,

GERMAN AND BRUSSELS PAPERS.

BERLIN, AUG. 23.—The St. Petersburgh Jour-
nals of the 13th give some extracts from the Journals
of the operations of the army under Count Die-
bitsch, to afford a view of the events that took place
previous to the report from Aidos of the 30th of
July. They contain in substance the statements we
have already given, and we therefore extract only
the following details of the operations of Admiral
Greigh :
" Admiral Greigh reports that he sailed from
Sizeboli on the 7th (19th), with three ships of the
line, three frigates, one brig, two gun-boats, and a
steam-boat, and anchored the next day before Mes-
sembria; the calm which continued two days, then
the violent wind on the 21st and 22d, hindered the
fleet from beginning the blockade of the town. The
wind, however, abated in the night of the 22d, so
that the fleet was able to act in concert with the
troops of General Roth. The fire of the fleet blew
up a powder-magazine in the town."
The latest paper (of the 15th of Auguat) gives
the bulletin front Aidos of the 26th, which we gave
before, but adds the following extract from a private
letter from Aidos, dated July 29:
" At length the Balkan is passed. Messembria,
Achioli, Bourgas,—in short, the country all round
the gulf is occupied by our troops. The defeated
and scattered Turks are flying in all directions. We
have taken 3,000 prisoners, 65 cannon, and a great
number of standards. It was on the 22d that the
Commander-in-Chief was on the highest part of the
Balkan. It is impossible to describe the astonish-
ment of the army at the few local obstacles they
met with in passing the mountain. As for the
army, the troops that are with the head-quarters
have not even got sight of them. Even the troops
of Generals Roth and Rudigcr did not meet with
them till they got on the south side of the Balkan,
At the moment that the troops beheld from the
summit of the mountains the Gulf of Bourgas, a
loud and general huzza!' burst from them. On the
23d we descended into the plain, and on the way
we heard of the taking of Alessembria, and we en-
joyed the fine sight of part of our fleet lying in the
bay. The Commander-in-Chief, with his suite,
went on board the Paris ship of the line, where the
Admiral gave a splendid entertainment.
" From,that time fresh victories have brought us
hither. In fact, all appears like a miracle, and the
disorder, the disorganization, and terror of the Turks,
are quite extraordinary. They fly and retire towards
Adrianople. On the 27th our vanguard was at
Karnabat. We know nothing for certain respecting
the movement of the Grand Vizier; some reports
say he has left Shuinla, and retreated towards
Adrianople.
" We did not get under cover till we reached
Aidos. The Commander-in-Chief occupies the
same house that the Grand Vizier inhabited during
the whole winter. Near us and for a considerable
distance around, all is quiet, as if we were in pro-
found peace. A part of our vanguard must be to-
day at Faki."
SEMLIN, AUG. 13.—Belgrade is in the greatest
consternation at the news from the theatre of war,
according to which the Turkish army is wholly dis-
solved, and the way to Constantinople open to the
enemy. An account sent to the Pacha of Belgrade
by one of his agents, states that the Russian army
arrived between the Ist and 3d of August at Kirk-
Kilissa, where the roads to Adrianople and Constan-
tinople meet ; that a division of Russian cavalry and
light artillery immediately took the road to Adria-
nople, in order, as it seems, to occupy that city, but
that the main army was preparing to march towards
the capital. It is believed that the van of the main
army may be before Constantinople by the 7th of
August, as the distance from Kirk-Kilissa is only
213: German (about 108 English) miles; the roads
are good, the country abounding_ in supplies for
tire army, and not the slightest opposition can be
made to its progress. The means of defence beyond
the Balkan are wretched. At Adrianople the
second city of the empire, there is one battalion
of eg lar nfantry, and two regiments of re-

gular cavalry. The militia, amounting to 4,000
men, are animated by the worst spirit. From
these data a judgment may be formed of
the whole. The only defence of Constantinople is
a fortified camp which,can contain 20,000 men. It
is feared that the capital will make no great resist-
ance, as the friends of the Janissaries are very busy
and agitate the people : in the provinces the greatest
discontent prevails. At Sophia the militia have re-
fused to take the field : the greatest activity is ex-
erted in the city, and the inhabitants will probably
make a vigorous resistance if they should be attacked.
Letters from Widdin say, that General Geismar
has marched towards Sophia, or at least, on leaving
Rachova, announced his intention of doing so. In
Servia some restless spirits begin to show them-
selves. Prince Milosch, however, avoids every thing
disagreeable to the Turkish authorities ; and very
lately, on being requested to have an eye on some
coiners and forgers of foreign paper currency in the
provinces, he has not contented himself with put-
ting a stop to their proceedings, but has delivered
up the persons implicated to the Pacha of Belgrade.
SaLomcm, AUG. I.—A Tartar, who arrived on
the 29th of July from Constantinople, Nought a fir-
man to the Governor, with strict orders to assemble
in 21 hours all the men capable of bearing arms, in-
cluding the Imans and the Effendis, and to send
them as soon as possible by way of Adrianople to
join the army. The liaja Bey, our Pacha's eldest
son, is to command them. Achmed Bey, one of the
greatest men in this Pachalick, who at the beginning
of the war promised to send by degrees a contingent
of 20,000 men, has received orders to send 3,000 of
them immediately. An equally urgent order for a
levy en mane has been sent to all the Pachas of
Macedonia and Rumelia, with injunctions to the
Ayans, Mutteselerns, and Ayas, to put themselves
at the head of the troops, and march partly to
Adrianople, partly to Widdin. In the provinces
nearer to Constantinople, where the firmans were
received sooner, the Sultan's commands have been
punctually obeyed; here every thing is doing to
carry them into effect, and all w►ll be ready to march
in a few days. The Ayan of Seres, with his men,
is probably alreadroll the march. No such firmans
have been sent to Thessaly, which has to furnish its
contingent against the Greeks. M. Chamand, the
British consular agent here, has, by order of Mr.
Gordon, the Ambassador, resumed his functions, and
hoisted his colours on the consulate on the 26th
tilt. We expect, as French Consul, M. Sauveur
instead of M. Dupie, who is appointed Consul-Ge-
neral in Smyrna."—Austrian Observer, Aug. 19.

BRUSSELS, AUG. 24.—Lord Cleveland, who is at

ing, the 26th, a courier sent from Vienna by his son.
It appears from these despatches that news had been

COMPLETE DEFEAT of the 111IGUELITE

EXPEDITION AGAINST TERCEIRA.

Don A. de Mello, Aide-de-Camp of the Conde
de Villa Flor, has arrived with despatches for the
young Queen of Portugal, bringing the important
intelligence of the complete defeat of the Miguelite
expedition against Terceira.
The attack on the island was made on the 11th
inst., and a considerable body of the Miguelite
troops were permitted to land. They were attacked
by the troops of the garrison, while the guns of the
batteries were directed against the division of the
expeditionary army which was coming to their assist-
ance. The wind at this time was unfavourable, and
confusion occurred among the boats, and the fire of
the batteries sunk several of them, and did terrible
damage to the remainder. The discomfiture was
complete : and the efforts of the survivors were
soon directed to save themselves, instead of aiding
their companions on the shore.
In the meantime the body that landed was suffer-
ing still more severely under the attacks of the troops
of the Count Villa for, and finally the whole who
escaped the fire of the Loyalists laid down their
arms. The number of prisoners taken is great.—
Five hundred have already joined the standard of
the young Queen. Most of them formerly were
soldiers of the Oporto division.
The loss of the expedition is estimated at 1,200
on shore, and 1,300 drowned ; the beach was co-
vered with the dead bodies, most of them being
washed up by the sea, the wind setting strongly in
shore. Count Villa for estimates, in the procla-
mation published after the action, on the 13th Au-
gust, the loss of the enemy at more than a half of
the whole expeditionary force.
The following is an extract from the proclama-
tion of Count Villa Flor :—" The enemy has left
your shores covered by the dead bodies of his men,
which he sought to inundate with your blood. The
sanguinary orders which they brought against the
garrison and the faithful people
.of this isle, Provi-
dence, which frustrates, and always will frustrate
the efforts of crime, has turned against them. More
than half of his soldiers have perished by your fire
or the waves, or have received from their generous
conquerors that reception which religion and hu-
manity dictate, but which the orders of tyranny pro-
hibited them from giving to your defenders, and
even to you, if we had been conquered."
The following was the order of the day issued
by Count Villa Flor:—

" ORDER OF THE DAY.

" The appearance in the offing of a considerable
number of vessels leaves no doubt that the adhe-
rents of the rebellion meditate an attack on the
town. The Commander-in-Chief seizes the first
moment to announce this to his gallant comrades.—
The eyes of Europe and the whole world are upon
you, as well as those of our beloved Queen. Every
thing is in our favour : our cause is sacred, our
coasts are nearly every where inaccessible, our de-
fence free from difficulty—every thing rests on your
valour and discipline. Should the bands of the
Usurper presume to defile our island, they will have
reason to repent their temerity. Our country will
applaud, and we shall offer to our legitimate Sove-
reign the immortal laurels of the purest and truest
glory.
" 30th July. " Count VILLA FLOR.
(Countersigned) " MENDIZ, Staff Major."
It will be seen that there is an allusion in the
Proclamation to the sanguinary orders which the
Usurper, calculating on success, had sent with his
squadron. All the adherents of the Queen were
to have been proceeded against without distinction,
from Count Villa Flor to every private soldier.
The event is likely to be of importance, not only
in securing against attack the faithful band in 'Ter-
ceira, but in its effects on public opinion in other
parts of the Portuguese dominions. This event has
completely justified the confidence placed in Count
Villa Flor, and must add to the high reputation
which he had previously obtained.
The following is from an official source
" On the 11th instant Don Miguel's squadron
attacked the Villa de Praya, and out of 1,200 men
who dared to fire not one escaped-700 were killed
and wounded, and 500 put down their arms, and
are already in the ranks of the faithful. All the
vessels had cast anchor under the batteries of the
forts, and were obliged to cut their cables to escape.
Twelve hundred muskets, two 21. pounders, and two
gun-boats, are already in the power of Count de Villa
Flor. This glorious news was brought by Captain
Thornton, Lieutenant Don, arid Antonio de Mello,
attached to her Most Faithful Majesty the Queen of
Portugal's Embassy in London, who sailed from
Angra on the 17th instant, and arrived at Falmouth,
from whence they set off immediately for Portsmouth.
" Her Majesty will be informed this morning of
the glorious contents of Count de Villa Flor's de-
spatches. The loyal subjects of the Queen had only
eleven persons killed and disabled; the enemy, or
more properly the rebels, had many officers of rank
killed; among others, Lieutenant-Colonel Azeredo,
Major D. Gil,- brother to Count Mesquite's, and D.
Antonio de Silveiro, another Nobleman?'
Some of the letters ascribe the defeat of the first
part of the expedition to the peasantry, who, after
the Miguelites had landed, and advanced towards
the ambushed troops in the interior, passed between
the enemy and the sea, seized the boats, and thus
prevented their escape.
It is also said to have been ascertained from the
prisoners, that Don Miguel had sent a Commission
(Alcade) of Desembargadors, or Judges, selected
from amongst the most violent in his service, with
orders to try, and immediately execute, not only the
gallant Villa Flor and his officers, but even the pri-
vate soldiers, whom the inhabitants of the island had
been charged, by a proclamation riot to permit to
escape.

(FURTHER PARTICULARS.)
It appears by private accounts received from Ter-
ceira, that the number cf the Miguelites killed in
the late affray is above 450, and 500 were wounded,
many of them dangerously. The number of pri-
soners, including the wounded, amounts, it is said,
to 800; while the loss on the part of the Consti-
tutionalists is extremely limited. It is scarcely pos-
sible to describe the feelings of delight exhibited by
the Portuguese on this event. The Royal Ex-
change was on Saturday crowded with refugees,
congratulating each other.

FURTHER PARTICULARS RESPECTING THE DEFEAT
`OF THE

MIGUELITE EXPEDITION.

The action began at eleven o'clock on the morn-
ing of the 11th instant, and closed at eight in the
evening.
Upwards of 1,000 men landed (consisting of the
11th, 3d, and Bth Cagadores, Ist, 7th, 19th, and
20th Infantry) upon some rocks, in order to come
by the sands.
The Volunteers (300 in number) were the only
troops to oppose the attack. The regular troops
were at Angra, 14 or 16 miles distant. A thick fog
preventing the telegraph working, it was late in the
evening before some of the troops arrived. At
seven o'clock the second attack was attempted from
the squadron. Captain Vilarinho directed the fire,
and sunk four of the boats. The attack was then
abandoned.
The Don John, 74, and the Diana frigate fired
constantly on the shore, but on retiring they suffered
materially. The squadron consisted of 23 sail:
553 were taken prisoners,and upwards of 500 killed.

A King's Messenger was sent off from the
Foreign-office on Friday night, with despatches for the
Continent. The despatches were understood to be for Mr.
GoanoN, our Ambassador at Constantinople.

Despatches from Lord COWLEY, our Ambas-
sador at Vienna, for the Earl of ABERDEEN, were brought
to the Foreign-office on Saturday night, by an extraor-
dinary messenger.
It is intended that the new Lundon-bridge
shall be opened on the 18th of June next, the anniversary
of the battle of Waterloo. The old ricketty bridge will
be cleared away immediately afterwards.

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 31, 1829.

Despatches have been received at the Foreign
Office, from the Hon. R. GORDON, at Con-

stantinople, and from Lord COWLEY, at Vienna.

Mr. GORDON'S despatches are dated the Bth

nstant, and contain exactly similar news to the

last that were received from that gentleman. The

SULTAN is represented as being now anxious to
negotiate. They bring no news of the Russian

army.

A Cabinet Council will assemble at half-past

Irce o'clock this day.

The French Papers have little further definite

intelligence from the theatre of war. According

to the Gazette de France no present apprehen-
sions need be entertained for the safety of Con-

stantjnople, for General DIEBITSCH is said to

have with him only about 25,000 or 30,000 men,

• ,
and it is:4 probable that he will not act immedi-

ately agai►t Constantinople.

If the Gazette de

France derives its notion of the safety of the city

from the scanty number of the Russian General's

troops, we can oily say that it argues on weak
and imperfect promises, for surely 25,000 men
are sufficient to surprise a city which, on the
land side, has neither natural nor artificial

ramparts to protect it ; and which is, besides,
according to report, deserted by its Sovereign
and its soldiers. The Messager des Chambres
confirms the entrance of the Russians into Kirk-
kilissa. The trial of the Editor of the Journal
des Debats, for a libel on the King of France,
contained in the number of the 10th August,
came on before the tribunal of Correctional Po-
lice on Wednesday last. The trial excited great
public interest, and closed by the defendant's
being found guilty, and sentenced to six months'
i►nprisonment, and five hundred francs of fine.
M. Durex made an able speech for the defend-
ant, in the course of which he launched some
adroit sarcasms at the new Ministry.

A detailed account of the defeat of the
MIGUELITE expedition, against Terceira, will
be found in another column.

German Papers give a distressing picture of
the state of things at Constantinople. Its only
defence, it seems, is a sort of half-fortified camp,
which, however, is not likely to be of much be-
nefit, inasmuch as the SULTAN and his satellites
are about to quit it, and retire into Asia.
Meantime a general order, of an extremely ur-
gent nature, for a levy en masse, has been de-
spatched to all the Pachai of Macedonia and Ru-
melia, with injunctions to the Ayans, Mutteselems,
and Ayas, to put themselves at the head of the
troops, and march partly to Adrianople, and
partly to Widdin. From this last place, letters
state that General GIESMAR has marched to-
wards Sophia, or at least, on leaving Rachova,
he announced 4is intention of doing so.
The Gazette des Pays Bas, states
that news had been received at Vienna
that the Russians were only four leagues from
Constantinople, that the SULTAN was leaving
the Capital to retire to Asia, and that Mr. GOR-
DON, the English Ambassador, accompanied
him. Of Adrianople, the second city in the
Empire, an article dated Semlin gives a
most deplorable and extraordinary account.—
Notwithstanding its immense importance, it is
garrisoned, it seems, by only one battalion
of regular infantry and two regiments of regular

cavalry ; the militia, adds the same authority,
amounting to 4,000, are actuated by the worst

Hamburg Papers have been received, they
state that it is reported that the Russian fleet
which had long been expected from Cronstadt,
on its way to the Archipelago and the Darda-
nelles, has received counter orders, and will not
therefore proceed to its intended destination :

ELSINORE, AUG. 2l.—Hitherto only a few small men
of war have arrived in the Sound of the Russian fleet,
which has long been expected from Cronstadt on its way
to the Archipelago and the Dardanelles. It is now re-
ported that the ships of that fleet have received counter
orders, and will therefore not proceed to their intended
destination. There are various reports in circulation re-
specting the reasons for these new orders. Some persons
think that serious differences are to he apprehended between
England and Russia respecting the affairs of the East,
which, if not amicably adjusted, might lead to the deten-
tion of that fleet in the channel.

CHRISTIANIA, AuG. 16.—The members of the English
Yacht Club have obtained permission from his Majesty
for their vessels to enter and sail from the portsof Norway,
without payment of the usual harbour dues.
THE HAGUE, AuG. 27.—Accounts from Major-Gene-
ral Bischeff say that he arrived safe on the 7th May in the
Straits of Sunda, and the Nehallenia was to sail for Ba-
tavia the following day. Hostilities were recommenced in
Java about the middle of April, the negociations with the
insurgents having failed. Up to the 7th May, according to
the official accounts, no engagement of importan6e had
taken place. Private letters, however, say that there had
been a severe engagement with the insurgents, in which
the Netherlands troops had gained a complete victory,
which needs confirmation.

According to the latest reports from Lieut.-General de
Kock, Diepo Negoro, at the head of about 1,200 men, had
made an excursion into the district of Deraetsewoet. He
still retained his greatest influence in Mataram, and ex •
erted himself to the utmost to maintain his ground there.
The head-quarters of the troops of the Netherlands was
still at Magalang, at the end of April. One of the smartest
actions was on the 18th of April, when a column of the
enemy, consisting of 600 men, attacked Lieut.-Colonel
Ledel in his position, near Sentolo. The attack was very
impetuous, but the enemy was at length put to flight by a
charge with the bayonet.
BERLIN, Auc. 22.—His Majesty set out yesterday for
Brussels, and will then go to Luxemburg, and as some
say to Paris. Various reports ire in circulation respecting
the journey. The Prussian Ministry appears very desirous
that France may not, under present circumstances, be too
closely connected with England, that Russia may not be
placed under the necessity of putting itself in a manner
more forward than it has hitherto done.
The Prussian Government continue to observe the most
profound silence respecting the mission of Gen. Muffling
to Constantinople. The Censors of the Press have not
even allowed tile account of the General's having embarked
at Naples to appear in any of the Prussian Papers.
Cuaacoa, Auc. 7.—According to the accounts
of numerous travellers, and the contents of letters
from the interior of Russia, the military force of
the empire is more and more developed, especially
since the return of the Emperor. All the roads to the
Dnieper are crowded with raw recruits. As the warm
weather hinders the march of the columns, they march in
the night and early in the morning, with a zeal that could
not he expected. These columns are accompanied by a
great number of waggons, not only for the baggage, but
also for the soldiers who are over fatigued, a useful and
humane care for the men which is too much neglected. It
animates the zeal of the soldiers, whose courage is inflamed
by the accounts of the victories gained by their country-
men. The Russians consider this war with Turkey as a
national concern, and proceed to the theatre of war with
so much zeal, that no doubt can be entertained of their
success.

BERLIN, Au°. 23.—The Grand Duke Constantine and
the Princess Lowicz arrived on the 19th at Breslaw, from
Warsaw, on their way to Ems.
AMSTERDAM, AuG. 28.—Exchange on London, 12
25 ; Two months, 12 12 5-10.

A Morning Cotemporary is, we perceive,
already endeavouring to turn the late disturbances
at Borris-o'-kane to account. He is endeavouring
to represent them as growing out of the settle •
ment of the Catholic question, and as mixed up
with the general system of disaffection, which,
he hints, either more or less pervades all Ireland.
Now nothing can be more insidious, more unge-
nerous, more wantonly and flagrantly false than
such a representation. The disturbances that
took place at Borris-o'-kane have no more to do
with the Catholic question—have no more con-
nection with any wide-spread spirit of insubor-
dination or disaffection to Government, than our
Cotemporary's remarks with common sense or
common justice. The fact is they were merely local
matters, merely provincial quarrels, unconnected
with any sense of national grievance, till they
were elevated into importance by the recent trials
and acquittals of the Policemen at Clonmell.
Yet from such slender materials as these partial
riots offer, does our Cotemporary attempt to build
up an imposing edifice of calumny and misrepre-
sentation ? From a petty riot in an Irish pro-
vincial town, he attempts to deduce proofs of
the rebellious spirit of the country, with the
same effects and the same felicity that he some
time since deduced the ruin of England, from
the circumstance of his having seen an Irish
potatoe afflicted with the unusual visitation of
bashfulness

THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TvalLrz o'CLocr:
Although it is double post day we have had but very
few arrivals this morning, and they are not of much
importance. The Consol Market, which left off ou
Saturday at 88-3 9 for the Account, opened at 881 if,
and may be quoted at present 88i buyers, and for
Money 88 with little doing. The fall of
the French Rentes is attributed by the private letters
by the Express from Paris this morning to the ap'
proaching settlement of the account there, and not
to any political information.
Jamaica Papers have been received at the North
and South American Coffee-house to the 12th of
July, but they do not contain any fresh accounts in
regard to the Spanish expedition for the coast of
Mexico. The Courant, of the 9th of July, says, we
regret to observe that the George the Fourth arrived
here yesterday from St. Thomas in ballast; flour
was scarce, and high at the date of her sailing,
but large importations were daily expected
there from the United States. The scarcity of
flour in this market is unprecedented, and
unless a seasonable supply arrives we shall soon
be without a barrel of flour. Small- sales were ef-
fected yesterday at 8/.
Letters from Madrid of the 17th August state
that persons who are well informed of the affairs of
our Cabinet, state that the expedition from Haven-
nah will make a landing to the North of Vera Cruz,
and not in the province of Yucatan. The Juna
Sanitaire of Cadiz has ordered that the quarantine
of six days, which was laid on all vessels coming
from Marseilles, is annulled. Letters have been re-
ceived here, via Gibraltar, by a vessel arrived here
from Mexico, of the 12th June, stating that .the
measures proposed there fer the destruction of the
expedition from 1-lavannah have been approved of
by General Guerreiro.
In the Foreign market not a feature at present
worth observation.

TWO O'CLOCK.

Accounts have been received by Express from
Constantinople, bringing the important information
of the arrival there of the Prussian Ambassador
Extraordinary General Muffling, who was most
graciously received by the Grand Sultan; and after
a conference of some time with the Sultan, he suc-
ceeded in proving to him the great danger which
threatened his person and Empire, at the same time
soliciting of him to spare the further effusion
of blood by entering into a negociation for peace
with the Russians, which his Highness at length
complied with ; in consequence of which, when the
accounts left Constantinople, some arrangement, or
an armistice, was expected shortly to take place.
The Consol Market has improved since the early
part of the morning, when they were 88i for the
Account; but up to this hour they are 891 to 1'
owing to a report that an armistice had alrtady
taken place between the Russians and Turks, but
no official information has as yet been received to
that effect, only the preceding account.
We have no further news from the Island of
Terceira, but report says that the Don John VIP
which was driven on shore, had been taken posses-
sion of by the garrison of the above island. Thie
requires confirmation.
The Foreign Market is very inactive—little

THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK.—Extract of
private letter dated Brunswick, Aug. 17 --" The cra4
Duke of Bausswicx has been lately busily employed in
collecting gold, and it is believed that he means to abdicate
his throne, rather than make the apology to the King 01f
ENGLAND which the German Diet have ordered him tO
make. That proverbially slow body, now sitting at Frank"
fort, have given a quick decision in favour of a King ; and
it is expected, that should the Duke refuse to comply with
their decree, the King of PRUSSIA will march with to
army into Brunswick. This I learn from a private source.
The newspapers have been prohibited in Germany (tool
writing on this subject."
