termination of the election of Deputies to the National
Assembly, which is soon to meet at Argos. In most places
the elections are over, and in general, particularly in the
Peloponnesus, they are said to have turned out to the satis-
faction of the President.

* The Universal Gazette of Greece, of 13th June,
says that the Turkish garrison of Athens, 3,000 strong,
had made a sally on the Sth, and attacked Vasso's troops in
the monastery of St. John (upon a mountain to the 'Firth-
east of Athens), hut that they were repulsed with the loss
of SO men killed and wounded, and two cannon.—Not,

If we may credit the accounts in our city
article, the French Consul at Buenos Ayres, in
consequence of a quarrel with the Authorities,
had thought proper to demand his passports.
For some days past rumours have been afloat
that the French squadron at Buenos Ayres
seized upon the flotilla in the harbour, and now
the truth of the matter is placed beyond question,
if we may believe the following particulars taken
from a Morning Paper:—

" It appears that during the confusion and trouble which
reigned in the city, under the expectation of an attack
from the Monteneros, the Government thought proper to
set up a distinction between French subjects and the Bri-
tish and Americans, on the ground that a recognition of
the Republic on the part of France had not taken place--
Thus, although the British and Americans were exempted
from military service in the defence of the tity, it . was
thought right to order the French residents to take up
arms. This was, however, refused, and was followed by
a notice from the Government that the whole of them
must quit Buenos Ayres within 24 hours. The French
Consul, M. Mandeville, immediately set about engaging
vessels for the purpose with all possible activity. He then
repaired on board a French ship of war which was in
the roads, and communicated what had taken place.—
In two days afterwards an expedition was sent into
the inner roads in the night, cut out all the men of
war that were lying there in ordinary, and burnt one
vessel. The French Commander had intimated further,
that he would take possession of all public property, un-
less the Buenos Ayres Government retracted its obnoxious
order. In the confusion, one of the French ships of war
hoarded and detained a merchant-vessel, taking it to be a
ship of war; but she was afterwards released, and a de-
claration made that only public property would be made
responsible for the conduct of the Government. The
situation of the city of Buenos Ayres, at the date of this
letter, was the most critical possible. The Monteneros
were in the town, and skirmishes were taking place in va-
rious parts of it. Preparations were making by the troops
without the town for a general attack, and the utmost
consternation prevailed in every quarter."

In a report from the York Assizes, inserte

in our columns of to-day, will be found a curi•
ous, not to say instructive, specimen of judicia
ethics. It is PALEY'S favorite doctrine of ex•

pediency, reduced to practice and pushed to an
extremity. It seems that a prisoner, named PIL-
LING, who was charged with paying forged
Bank of England 51. notes, and against whom

there were five indictments, was desirous to
plead guilty, urging as a reason for so doing,

that " I wish to speak the truth as near as I can.'
The Judge's reply to this was, " pleading not
guilty to an indictment is not telling a false.
hood in the name of God, it is not

taking an oath or committing perjury, it
is only denying the charge which must be proved
by the prosecutor." %Ve request our reader's
attention to the moral and logical peculiarities of
this opinion. A man who pleads innocent to a
charge, of which he is really guilty, is not, ac•
cording to Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE, telling a
falsehood in the name of God, he is only deny-
ing a charge which must be proved. Now where,
let us ask, lies the difference in this case ?
Where lies the difference, between denying a
well-founded charge and not telling a falsehood ?
We protest in all sincerity we can see none.—
If a lawyer, who is well-known to be one,
denies that he is so, it strikes us, notwithstand-
ing Mr. J. LITTLEDALE'S dictum to the con-
trary, that he is guilty of something very like a
falsehood. At any rate he is urging a " distinc-
tion without a difference." The other portion

of the Learned Judge's dogma is equally felici-
tous. He exhorts a guilty criminal to deny his
guilt by assuring him that in so doing he is not
" taking an oath or committing perjury." Cer-
tainly not, neither is the man who commits a rape
or a burglary, committing murder or petty lar-
ceny. But is he less a sinner on that account ?
And is he to be consoled for his burglarious
predilections by the consciousness that he has
not shed the blood of his fellow creatures ? Yet
this is the tendency of Mr. J. LITTLEDALE's
argument, an argument which, though it may
possibly hold good in law, will certainly break
down in faro conscientice.

A private Correspondent at Paris, under the
date of Wednesday, says, a report has got about
that the Emperor NICHOLAS has fallen dan-
gerously sick in a little village in Bessarabia. The
appointment of Prince POLIGNAC to the Mi-
nistry is announced as certain.

Ever since the arrival of the Ambassadors
at Constantinople, the most contradictory
reports have been put in circulation. It is
now said that all negotiations are broken off
(When did they really begin ?)—.and again it
is as confidently rumoured that the defeat
of the GRAND VIZIER, the fall of Silis-
tria, and the fruitless expedition of the Capitan
PACIIA. to the Black Sea, have inspired the
Porte with more conciliatory senthnents.; to
which may be added the advance of the Rus-
sians, and the sending of troops from Odessa to
Sizeboli.

Which are we to believe ? The fact we think
will turn out to be, that the Turks have not

abated one jot of their pretensions, but pro-
crastinate as usual ; and that, in the mean time,
the Emperor NICIIOLAS preaches moderation,
while his armies pursue their conquests.
It was asserted at Vienna that Rudschuk had
eapitulated, and.that a considerable Russian corps
had advanced from Rachova towards Sophia.
Nothing more likely.

off this port the 29th ult., from Buenos Ayres,
bound to Antwerp. She sailed on the Ist of June
from the outer roads, at which time the civil war
%vas continuing, and no prospect of any accommo-
dation being entered into with the contending fac-
tions. This vessel brings the important intelligence
that the French Consul had had a quarrel with the
existing Government, demanded and obtained his
passport, and had left Buenos Ayres. A part of the
French fleet had subsequently arrived there, and in
the course of the night they took, burnt, or other-
wise destroyed the entire flotilla of the Republican
Navy, in the inner and outward roads. The Cam
den and Osborne packets were both at Buenos Ayres,
and the former may be hourly expected home.

THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.)

CIT Y, TIVELVE o' CLocx.

Accounts received from Falmouth this morning
bring the important intelligence, by the James Noble,
which sailed from Buenos Ayres the Ist of June,
that in consequence of a quarrel of the French Con-
sul with the Government of Buenos Ayres he de-
manded his passport. The French fleet subsequently
arrived and destroyed the whole of the Buenos
Ayres flotilla, which was lying in the Roads. The
civil war continues, and there was no prospect of an
accommodation.
Accounts from Lisbon, via France, of the 15th of
July, state that the discontent in the above capital
daily inc►eases, caused by the extreme misery
latterly. Don Miguel was walking in the Quay of
Belem, when he was surrounded by a mob,
calling out—" You are destroying Portugal, and
we shall soon perish with hunger." The state
of the prisoners is beyond description. The un-
fortunate Colonel Pinto, and Don Joseph de Souza,
sent a petition to Don Miguel, soliciting him to have
them put to death, as their torture and bitter con-

finement surpassed every cruelty. Orders have been
sent to Oporto to try sixteen Portuguese.
Consols opened this morning at the same price
they left off yesterday, 88i 89 for the Account;
but soon after the market receded to 88g "„i, sup-
posed to be owing to the express from Paris stat-
ing that the negociations between the Russians and
the Turks were broken off. Procrastination is gene-
rally the order of the day with the Turks, which the
Russians are aware of, and will not grant an armis-
tice but on solid grounds. We may soon expect to
hear of another desperate battle.
We have very few arrivals this morning in the
Foreign Market; nothing doing as yet, and prices
nominal.

TWO O'CLOCK.

Consols have been fluctuating during the morning
between 88/ and 88i for the account, and at pre-
sent may be quoted at 88/ 4, with very little doing.
It is said that after the express left Paris, the
French Three per Cents. fell 20 cents.
Private letters from Holland state that the Bank
of the Netherlands have reduced their interest on
discount of bills, from 2f to 2 per cent.
Information was received at Amsterdam from
Hamburg on Saturday, of an improvement there
of the Foreign Funds.
It appears that our City Bankers have also ex-
perienced a great stagnation in business, as they
have balances in hand to a very considerable
amount, which at present they cannot employ,
owing to good bills being so scarce.
We have conversed with a gentleman who has
been resident at St. Petersburgh for many years,
and also has within a few days arrived in London
he asserts that the Russian population, and parti-
cularly the Nobility, begin to be heartily sick of
the war.

In the Foreign Market little doing. Portuguese
Stock has improved.

BIRTH EXTRAORDINARY.—Last week the
wife of a labourer residing at Winterbourn Steepleton, near
this town, was safely delivered of three children; one of
whom has since died, but the other two, with the mother,
are doing well.—Dorset County Chronicle.
STAGE-COACH ACCIDENT.—On Wednes-
day morning the Regulator Bristol coach had scarcely left
the office, when one of the hind wheels came off, by
which the coach was upset. The coachman was thrown
off, but not materially hurt; but Captain WyNnowx, a
passenger, bad his skull dreadfully fractured. He was
immediately taken to the Saracen's Head Inn ; he lin-
gered in excessive pain for five hours, and then expired.
Captain WTYNDOWE was on his way to join his wife, pre-
vious to his going to his regiment. A lady who was a
passenger had her thigh severely fractured, but is likely to
do well. A youth received a severe contusion on the
head, and several other persons were much injured. Only
one passenger, a sailor, was capable of continuing his
journey.
THE HARVEST.—For the state of the Crops
here we can speak in the most satisfactory manner. The
Wheat will be an excellent crop; a few fields of it on rich
high ground about Cork, were cut down within the last
two days. Oats and Barley also look extremely well, and
several fields of Beer have fallen under the sickle. Pota-
toes are in great abundance, and will be very cheap ; and
the aftergrass has a most luxurious appearance. If the
present fair weather—which is occasionally interrupted by
smart showers principally at night—should continue, the
blessings of PROVIDENCE will be showered down on us,
in a bountiful Harvest. We have conversed with a gen-
tleman who has just returned from France, and he states
that the crops in that country have been very generally
lodged, and in some places materially injured by the heavy
rains.... Cork Conaitution. •
