LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 31, 1829.

The Gazette de France of Thursday contains
an a?tide, stating that the Pacha of Widdin has
passed the Danube at the head of 30,000 men,
for the purpose of driving the Russians out of
the Principalities, unless the Grand Duke CON-
ST ANTINE arrives in time to stop the invasion.
We do not believe one word of the ab)ve. The
Turks cannot act upon the offensive any more
than the Russians, during the extreme severity
of the weather ; and it is not likely the Russians
should be in such small force as not to
be able to resist any attack, of the Turks,
seeing that they still retain their positions

in Bulgaria. The ltfessager des Chambres
contains a letter said to have been written
by TCHAPAN OGLOU to Count LANGERON,
giving him a friendly hint of what the Turks in-
tend to do—but the thing is clearly a weak
invention of the enemy.

The Constitutionnel publishes an article to
prove, that if Russia has received a check in the
last campaign, it was owing to her not having an
effective force. " The total number of the Rus-
sian army was composed last year of about
400,000 regular troops, and 42,000 were irre-
gulars, making together 442,000 men ; she
has lost last campaign 62,000, which re-
duced her army to 380,000, to which we
must now add the new levies of 350,000, and it
will be found that at the opening of the next
campaign, Russia will have a disposable force of
730,000 men. The Turks, with the greatest
difficulty, can only bring into the field half of
that number ; but they are masters of Shumla,
Silistria, &c., and the formidable Balkan Moun-
tains." Since the commencement of the war this
Journal appears to have been so well informed
on the affairs of Russia, and her intentions, that
we may look on some of them as official.

By an article in another part of our Paper it
will he seen that the first division of Portuguese
troops which sailed from Plymouth, arrived at
Terceira in eight days' run. The Sy/ph has
brought accounts from that Island of the 9th inst.

The following are extracts from Italian,
Hamburgh, German, and Dutch Papers, re,
ceived this morning :

NAPLES, JAN. 4.

For some days we have had severe cold With
north winds. The summits of Vesuvius, and of all
the neighbouring mountains, are covered with snow.
Till now me have had no signs of winter.
JAN. 6.—The mouth which opened in -Vesuvius
some time ago, having again become enlarged, emits
stones, and from the mass of bituminous substances
before thrown out of the volcano itself liquid fire

now issues.

JAN. 11.—Her Imperial Highness the Grand
Duchess Helen of Russia dined to-day with their
Majesties and the Royal Family, who have shewn
every possible attention to their distinguished visitor.

STOCKHOLM, JAN. 9.

Letters from Finland continue to speak of the
report that a diet is expected to bo called in the
Grand Duchy, for the purpose of completing the
army of Finland, and granting the sums necessary to
defray the expence, if affairs in the south should in-
duce the Emperor to place it on the war establishment.
According to accounts from St. Petersburgh, the
Emperor had deferred for a fortnight his Visit to
Finland.

were not considerable, found purchasers. t.

Accounts from the cities on the Bank of the
Rhine state, that that river is frozen over in several
places.

The Alexandrza United States Gazette,
states that some enterprising merchants are load-
ing_the ship Pioneer with a cargo of upwards of
4,000 barrels of flour for Liverpool, while the
crop of Grain this year has fallen far short of
an average one, not only in Europe but in Ca-
nada, and many parts of the United States. The
section of country from which our market is
supplied has been peculiarly favoured, as we have
an abundant crop, and that of very superior qua-
lity. The prospects of our farmers are cheering.

The Morning Herald, which is decidedly,
and we have no doubt conscientiously, opposed
to the Catholics, has a paragraph this morning
which may be considered as a sort of feeler in
certain quarters, with respect to an alteration in
the form of the oath taken by Members of either
House. As the Herald may be considered
the Duke of WELLINGTON'S Paper—it is
certainly Ministerial—we are induced to sup-
pose that the following article has reference
to the decision lately come to by Ministers
after their repeated Cabinet Councils It
strikes us, and we long since put forth the
thought, that when the King and his Cicwern-
ment have made up their minds to admit Catho-
lics into Parliament, the best plan would be
merely to alter the oaths, taking out the words
damnable; idolatrous,' &c., as applicable to

the Catholic tenets, The alteration of the oaths,
by taking out words objectionable to Catholics,
would enable them to take seats in Parliament,
and, excepting they afterwards raised further
demands—which, however, at present we cannot
see that they could—the question of Emancipa-
tion w ould _be . set at rest, without any of the
present questions being raised, as to either the
payment of the Catholic Clergy, or getting se-
curities from Catholics, or our having any thing
to do with the Church of Route."

In our Paper of to-day will be found an
ample report of the particulars that transpired at
the execution of BURKE— a monster who stands
prominently forward in the annals of crime, and
who was altogether deeper dyed in guilt than
any miscreant on record, with the sole exception
if that more glozing arch-fiend his instructor,
whose life (were justice done him) would also
be offered up in expiation ofhis self-acknowledged
murders. The thousands that flocked to BURK g's
execution were all inspired, as one man, with
one individual impulse, and never yet was there
a mob—and a Scotch one, if we may trust Sir
W. SCOTT, is, when once roused, inconceivably
terrific in its passions—inspired with a more just,
energetic, or praiseworthy feeling. 'To talk of
their "insulting exultations," 'as an Edinburgh
Paper has phrased it, is nonsense : it is in the
worst spirit of maudlin sensibility, and naturally
leads the reader to conclude that they Were wrong
in the expression of their feelings, Such feel-
ings were not " insulting"—they were simply
just and natural ; and as such should be appre-
ciated.

CORONER'S INQUEST.

SUDDEN DEATH OF THE BARONESS LE DESPENCER.

This morning, at eleven o'clock, an inquisition was
taken before Thomas Stirling, Esq. at Green's Hotel,
Lincoln's-Inn-fields, on the body of Recited Frances Anto-
nini Lee, commonly called Baroness le Despencer, aged fifty
years.
Mr. James Green, proprietor of the hotel, deposed, the
dereased resided here for the last seven months; she came
in good health, and remained so until about ten days back.
She occupied the first floor front, then retrieved to the third,
and subsequently to her original apartments. Whet I con-
sidered strange was, her occupying as a bed-room a small
apartment on the fourth floor front, the night she died.
She was a very extraordinary woman, and I some-
time; thought her deranged, as she never would suffer
herself to be attended by a female. The last time I
saw her she talked fligkty, saying, " I am kept here a sort
of prisoner, and you, Sir, contrite at it," &c. On coming
from Hampstead, on Wednisday, I asked my waiter how-
she was, awl learned she WAS ill, and had not even then
got up, although half. past three. o'clock, I went and
knocked at the door, and getting no aeawer, procured a
lock-smith to open the door, when her Ladyship was
found dead in her bed ; her hands were clasped close and
hanging out, of the bed. She had left her wax candle
burning. The body was quite cold. Deceased never saw
any company, except a Mr. Coper, her law agent.
Abraham Christmas, waiter, deposed,—l always at-
tended on deceased ; I waited on her at dinner, last Wed-
nesday, at six o'clock ; she ate very sparingly of some fish.
She had a pint of ale, and one of porter, but only drank
two-thirds of each : she had also a pint of wine. I thought
her eccentric, but not deranged. She usually rose from
six to seven o'clock in the morning ; but on going to bed
on Weducteley night, bid me nut to disturb her if she
slept till four the next day. There was nothing tOund in her
room to excite a suspicion that she made away with herself.
No female or stranger was ever permitted to enter the
room where she was. She was cheerful in her disposi-
tiuu, and I never saw her depressed. I used to assist her
up and down stairs. Often when the inmates of the hotel
were at rest, have I shown her at her desire the various
rooms in the house. _ _

Mr. Titus Owen, surgeon, Chancery-lane, deposed—l
am decidedly of opinion that the deceased expired of apo-
plexy. Verdict—" Died by the visitation of God."
Her deceased Ladyship had formerly excited a great sen
sation in the fashionable world, having been -carried off
about 22 years ago by the two brothers, named Gordon,
for which offence the eldest stood bis trial.

Lord Errol will attend his duties in the House
of Peers in a few days.—Dublin Morning Register.
Mr. Liston, we regret to hear, met with a
severe accident on Tuesday eceuing bit. In alighting from
his carriage at the door of the Eagh Opera Hous.e, his
foot slipped, and he dislocated his collar-Übe. We, how-
ever, see he is antic/tweed again fur Tuesday net, which
implies he is doing Well.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

v. Kemble. His appeal has already occupied the

its conclusion.
