ATTACK ON MR. FRENCH, THE BAR-
R/ifia'Eß, BY THE SONS OF MR. COBBW.

Last night, at the close of the business et Bow-
street Police-office, a gentleman came before Sir R.
BIRNIE, and announced himself as Mr. French, the
barrister, and stated, that he applied to the Magis-
trate for a warrant against three persons who had
attacked him in a most cowardly, and in fact mur-
derous manner, on the Kensington-road, on Wed-
nesday evening last.
Sir R. BIRNIE asked Mr. French to describe the
assault he complained of.
Mr. French said, that the persons of whom he
complained were Messrs. John, William, and
Richard Cobbett, the sons of 11r. 'William Cobbett
the well-known political writer. He Was going
along the Kensington-road, about six o'clock, on
Wednesday evening, and the three young men, who
had concealed themselves, and had for some time
been lying in wait behind a cart, pounced upon him
as he passed by, and one of them struck him with
a bludgeon, and beat him as he lay on the ground.
They were all three concerned in the outrage.

Sir R. BIRNIE said that there must have been
some cause of provocation, surely ; but that was
no justification of the assault they had committed ;
and he ordered a warrant to be issued against the
parties. _ _

Mr. French bore on his person visible marks of
the violence of the assault which had been committed,
and he declared that, he was sure his assailants in-
tended to murder him.

It is stated thst the assault was provoked by Mr.
French having spoken in disrespectful terms
,of the
young gentlemen, which he refused to retract.

MR. GORDON'S AUDIENCE OF THE

GRAND SEIGNIOR.

The grand audience given by the Sultan to
our Ambassador, the Hon. Mr. Gordon, has
produced an uncommon degree of interest at
Constantinople, on account of the peculiar cir-
cumstances under which it took place, and the
important consequences expected to result from
the new diplomatic relations between Great 13ri-
tain and the Porte. The letters from the Turkish
capital, which reach to the 17th ult., are full of
details on this event.

Monday, the 13th, was the day appointed by
the Sultan for Mr. Gordon's audience of recep-
tion, in the magnificent Turkish camp, on the
great plain of Buyukdere. The ceremonies with
which the audience was conducted were remark-
able for their pomp as well as for the departure
which on this occasion was made from the forms
hitherto so strictly observed by the Porte.
The Blonde frigate and the Rifleman sloop
of war, which brought Mr. Gordon and his
suite to Constantinople, had moved on the 10th
before Tophana, where they had lain since the
arrival of the embassy, to the bay of Buyukdere.
The French frigate Arnzide, on board of which
Count Guilleminot arrived, accompanied the
English ships on their passage through the
Bosphorus, and cast anchor opposite Tarapia,
off the heights of Kunkiar-Yskelessi, on the
Asiatic coast.

Early on the 13th, several detachments of
Turkish infantry, each about 2,000 strong,
marched into the camp to do the military ser-
vice during the ceremonies of the audience.
Pieces of artillery were distributed over the sur-
rounding heights nearest the camp. In a charm-
ing situation, between Tarapia and Buyukdere,
a grand tent, with two divisions, was erected for
the Sultan. The roof of the first division was
supported by 24 columns, and adorned with an
equal number of gilded balls. Under this fine
canopy the visiters approached the interior and
semi-circular part of the tent, which was hung
with the richest damasks, and the most costly
tapestries, and in the back ground of which was
a splendid throne. Over this was extended a
rich canopy of red cloth, embroidered and set
with rich pearls and precious stones. Behind
this grand tent, which was destined for the audi-
ence, another smaller tent was constructed, in
which stood a richly covered sofa, on which the
Grand Seignior reposed.
To the right were tents for the Ministers, th e
Seraskier, and the Sultan's suite ; and on the
left were others for the diplomatic body. Im-
mediately in the rear of these, was the large tent
of the Caimacan-Pacha, representing the Hall
of the Divan. Still farther back might be seen
the tent which served for the Sultan's kitchen ;
and, finally, all the tents, which formed the grand
camp.

At 10 in the morning Mr. Gordon disem-
barked from the Blonde, and proceeded to the
camp. The following was the order of the pro-
cession :

A detachment of Marines and the baud of
musicians belonging to the Blonde.
The Ambassador's Chocadares, 14 dressed in
white, and 18 in red.

Sixteen servants in yellow livery.
Six chamber attendants in dark blue livery,
edged with gold.
The officers of the English ships of war.
The Interpreters, the Secretary of the Em-
bassy, Mr. Parish, and the first Doltmetsher,
M. Chabert.
Mr. Gordon on horseback.
Lords Yarmouth and Dunlo, and the gentle-
men attached to the Embassy.
Some English officers and seamen.
In this order the procession advanced to the
Caimacan's tent, where Mr. Gordon, on alight-
ing from his horse, was received and welcomed
by the Seraskier. A conversation was main-
tained for a considerable time between Mr. Gor-
don and the Camaican, through the Interveu-
