LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 1, 1829.

The French Papers state nothing decided or
important beyond what we gave yesterday, re•
specting the military proceedings in the East.—
The Gazette de France attributes, and with
some plausibility, the SULTAN'S present dis-
tressed condition to the late disaffection of the
Janissaries. It is through their intrigues, it

Seems, that the fortresses are every where sur-
rendered up to the enemy, and their progress ma-
terially accelerated. The trial of the two
Papers, the Figaro and the Apostolique,
Came on on the 29th. One was accused of

attacking the person of the KING, and the
other of attacking the Charter. M. Bo-
RAIN, responsible proprietor of the Figaro,
Was condemned to six months' imprisonment,
and 1,000 francs fine; and M. LE MERCIER,
responsible proprietor of the Apostolique, to a
month's imprisonment, and 300 francs fine.—
The Messager des Chambres, in an article
dated from Constantinople, states that on the Ist
of August General DIEBITSCH still had his
head-quarters at Aidos. On the 7th nothing
was feared for the safety of the capital, or at
least they were not well informed with respect to
the movements of the enemy.

The Hamburg Papers state, that according to
accounts from Constantinople, the SULTAN had
at length resolved to accept the Convention of
London, of July 6th, for the pacification of
Greece, and to negotiate on that basis. Letters
from Berlin, of the 26th, it is said, confirm this
rumour. It is also added, that some Turkish
Deputies, accompanied by Mr. GORDON, the
British Ambassador, have set out to the head-
quarters of General DIEBITSCH, for the purpose
of making him acquainted with the result of the
negociations respecting Greece. Accounts from
Kraj ova, dated August 8, state that General
GEISMAR has ordered his troops to quit
Rachova, and retreat+across the Danube, in con-
sequence of the advance of the PACHA of
Scutari, at the head of 30,000 men, towards that

town, Report adds that Rachova has bee
destroyed by the Russians.

Dr. DOYLE, the Roman Catholic Bishop of
Kildare, well known by his polemical disser-
tations under the signature of J. K. L., has just
Published an address to the Clergy and lay inha-
bitants of his diocese, which cannot be too ex-
tensively perused and circulated through Ire-
land. It is a solemn—an affecting—an un-
adorned, but impassioned, appeal to his coun-
trYmen, more particularly to those in the neigh-
-4 bourhood of Tipperary, conjuring them to re-
frain from violence, to lay aside all rash thoughts
of revenge, for real or imagined injuries, to cul-
tivate the arts of good-fellowship, and, above all,
to confide in the sound intentions of Govern-
°lent, and set an. example to their Protestant,

subjects of implicit obedience to the laws

much wanted, and coming forward as it does, at

South of Ireland is so unusually excited, cannot
fail to have a beneficial, tranquillizing effect.—

cannot fail to produce an effect, while it equally

confirms those who might previously have been
inclined to entertain doubts respecting the le-
gality, or at any rate, the wisdom of perpetuating
the absurd civil distinctions of past times. The
Catholic Bishop shows himself a good Christian
and a good subject : the Protestant Judge proves
that he is an exclusive in the one, and a partisan
in the other, character. The Catholic Bishop
expounds the Law in the spirit of wisdom and
beneficence ; the Protestant Judge, in the spirit of
an Orangeman and a zealot. The one directs
his efforts to promote peace and benevolence,
the other to perpetuate discord and intolerance,
among his countrymen. " Verily, both shall
meet with their reward !"

COURT-MARTIAL UPON CAPT. DICKEN-
SON, R.N.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.)

PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY—(FIFTH DAY.)
This morning at nine o clock the Court again resumed
leir labours.

Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON was called to be cross-exa-
mined by Captain DICKENSON—On his advancing to the
table, he addressed the Court and said, " I would wish to
add to nay foregoing evidence that I did not even know
Captain Dickenson ; that I do not believe I ever had a
personal conversation with him until after the battle; I
had no recollection of any conversation having passed be-
tween me and Captain Dickenson, as stated by him ; I do
not undertake to say that Captain Dickenson was not on
board, but I will say that, according to my view of what
was his duty, under the circumstances, he had no business
to be on board."

Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON then complained of the want
of several documents to enable him to establish the charge.
The PRESIDENT said that he could write to the Admi-

ralty for such as were considered essential.
The Vice-Admiral would bow with deference to the
Court, but said he had written already there, and he had
hoped when he came down here to find the documents be-
fore the Court. Sir Edward said there were many ques-
tions to be cleared up, and from the papers he had seen,
such was the contradiction of the evidence, that many of

the depositions that had been made required the most mi-
nute examination, and if he had been made prosecutor,
he would venture to say that he would shake much of the
evidence they had heard.
Sir HENRY BLACKWOOD said, that he (Sir Edward)
was asked to become prosecutor, and if he had complied
he would have been able to have put things possibly into
a better light.
Sir EDWARD—Why was I not made prosecutor ? The
Admiralty had the means of doing so, if they had pleased,
and so I told them in my letter, but they did not; and it
was out of that document all the charges arose.
The PRESIDENT said that he would, if he had the ap-
probation of the Court, writs to the Admiralty to send
them down not only that document, but copies of his
letters, so as to enable them to take them into the pro-
ceedings.
Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON—I have considered the evi-
dence, and I am of opinion that those documents ought
to be produced.
The Court had no power to enforce the production of them.
The Court was then ordered to be cleared, when, after
the absence of half an hour we were again admitted,
when the Court put the following question to Sir Edward
Codrington :—" Will Sir Edward Codrington undertake
to say that those documents are absolutely necessary to
carry on the prosecution?" Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON
—I cannot undertake to say positively that they are.
By Captain DICKENSON—Were you aware, on the morn-
ing of the 21st of October, that I came on board the Asia
at two o'clock to report the death of Captain Bathurst?
Sir EDWARD—I do not recollect. _

By Captain SCHOMBURCH-Did the report come to you
officially, or by any other officer or conveyance to your
knowledge, and when were you made acquainted with the
positive death of Captain Bathurst? Sir EDWARD CO-
DRIITGTON—I do not at all recollect.
Sir HENRY BLACKWOOD—I wish to know if Sir Ed-
ward addressed himself on the gangway to any officer rela-

tive to Mrs. Bathurst ? Sir Enwait]) CoimnioroN—l
am not aware of it—l do not wish to deny it—lt is a
very probable thing I did, and that I should have made
such an inquiry.
By Captain GORDON—Does Sir Edward Codrington
recollect in what way he was made acquainted that Captain
Bathurst was mortally wounded, previous to his going on
board the Genoa? Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON—I am
under an impression that some officer, (not Captain Dick-
enson), first informed ine,—he came on board, not in a
regular man-of-war's boat, and said that Captain Bathurst
was wounded—l think it was a Lieutenant of the Genoa.

By Captain DICKENSON-Was it during the battle that
apprehensions were entertained of the Asia being on fire
from the frigate in flames, and that the hawser was in-
tended to be used ?
Sir EDWARD—No. The Asia, I believe, did not fire
a single gun. Afterwards the Genoa did, and it was in
consequence of that that I myself, I am pretty sure, hailed
her, and desired her to leave off firing. I think the
Genoa's log, before the Court, refers to that very time.
--(The log was here referred to.)—lt stated that a boat
was sent to assist the Asia with a hawser to swing cle it of
a frigate in flames; that is under the time of 4. 20. At five
the frigate blew up. It is difficult to say when the action
was over ; the ships kept firing ; I have a record of 17
vessels blown up.
Captain 03IMANNEY being called, stated that he was on
board the Genoa at ten o'clock at night of the 21st Oct.,
and saw Captain Bathurst wounded in the cockpit ; he was
quite sensible at the time ; he was not present when Sir
E. Codrington was there ; he was on board some time pre-
viously, as he had been informed by Sir E. Codrington
himself.

By the COURT—After the action he went to pay his re-
spects to the Admiral, to know what his commands were.
The Admiral said to him " Get your ship ready as fast as
you can."
By Sir H. BLACKWOOD—. It does not come within his
knowledge whether Captain Dickenson was on board the
Asia on the night of the day of the battle or not. Sir E.
Codrington mentioned the Genoa's name to him, either to
express his approbation, or the contrary. His interview
with the Admiral was a very short.one.
By Admiral OTwAY—Captain Bathurst, when he saw
him in the Cockpit, was so sensible and collected that it
was his opinion that he was capable of giving orders. He
spoke to him of his private affairs in a firm and collected
manner. When he offered his good wishes for his re-
covery he thanked him, and said it was impossible that he
could recover, having seen his entrails out ; be then spoke
to him of his family affairs.
By the PRESIDENT-Did he make any reference to the
battle, and state what it was ? CaptainnitsiaNNEY—To
the best of my recollection I think he said " My good
friend I fear we have fired into you, but I hope we have
not done you much damage ;" to which I replied, to the
best of my recollection, " Do not let that distress you, I
cannot say whether it has or has not." I think he said,
" I did the best I could to prevent it."
By Admiral OTWAY—IIe did not hear Captain Bathurst
give any orders during the time he was on board ; be heard
no reports made to him. He conceived every Captain
has the command whilst he has life.
By Captain SCHOMBURGH—Did the Vice-Admiral sug-
gest to you that it might be necessary to put to sea that
night, under the apprehension of a fire ship, and desire you
to prepare his Majesty's ship for that purpose? Captain
OMMANNEY-Ile did not express any such intention of
going to sea that night, but on the contrary he told me
not to concern myself about them rowing guard, for that
Count Hayden had olYered to take that service. His
order to get the ships ready as fast as they could was a
general order.
By Captain INGLEFIELD-In the conversation you had
with Captain Bathurst, do you recollect whether he men-
tioned any commendation that Sir E. Codrington bestowed
en the Genoa for her conduct during the action? Capt.
OMMAN wry—No ; nothing of that nature did transpire.
[lt was here remarked, that in the log-book of the Al.
Lion there was a new leaf put in and an old one cut out.]
By Captain DICKENSON-I am not certain whether the
French Admiral was on board the Asia when I was.
Sir Edward Codrington was busy writing. Ido not know
any thing of the introduction of a leaf in the log-book of
the Albion. I never remarked it until I saw it in Court
now. The action ceased shortly after six o'clock in the

evening.
Mr. WILLIAM LINDSAY, late assistant-surgeon of the
Genoa, stated that he was first assistant-surgeon on board
the Genoa. Witness was not present when Captain Om-
manney visited Captain Bathurst.
By the l'anslDENs--After Capt. Bathurst was brought
into the cockpit, did he receive any reports, and did he
know how to receive any reports of the. conduct of the
Genoa ? Mr. LINDSAY—None that I know of; at one
period he gave an order, but it did not appear to me to be

addressed to any particular person. The order was to
Captain Dickenson to fight the ship, and to keep up a
steady fire to the last.
PRESIDENT-Have you seen the report of the killed and
wounded ; and did you assist the surgeon in making it up ?
Mr. LINDSAYNCO. _ _

PRESIDENT-Does it come within your knowledge that
any person who had been wounded in the battle, and died
during the twenty-four hours, was returned in the list as
killed in the battle? Mr. LINDSAY—I do not recollect.
Captain Bathurst lived the longest of any who were
grievously wounded. Several died in my presence in the
cockpit. I believe Captain Bathurst was the only one, ex-
cept Captain Moore, who survived the battle some days.
By Captain DICKENSON-Do you remember the firemen
being called ? Mr. Lindsay—Yes.
Capt. DICKENSON—Did you hear Capt. Bathurst make
any remark? Mr. LINDSAY-None to my recollection.
Mr. C. E. ANDREWS, late purser of the Genoa, examined
—I was in the cockpit when Sir Edward Codrington was
there, but heard no conversation pass. I saw the Admiral
going to the birth to Captain Bathurst, but I did not think
it eight to follow him.
By the CounT—Captain Bathurst, after he was brought
into the cockpit, issued no orders respecting the ship, ex-
cept when he heard voices on the pier cables, he requested
me to order them on deck.

By Capt. ELLIOTT—He did not recollect any message
being sent by Capt. Bathurst to Capt. Dickenson, as to
fighting the ship.
By Sir HENRY Br.AcKwoon—He heard Captain Ba-
thurst, when in the cockpit, express a hope that Captain
Dickenson would fight the ship well; and he considered
the ship in the hands of Capt. Dickenson.
Capt. SMYTH re-examined by Capt. DICKENSO---I do
not recollect sending Lieut. Sturt to the Admiral with a
message on the evening of the battle. I have been subse-
quently under the command of Sir E. Codrington, and he
never complained of the conduct of the Genoa at Navarin.
The PRESIDENT-We have now done with the fifth
charge.
The Court then adjourned until to-morrow morning.—
The interest seems to increase considerably as the Court
proceeds, and the chamber was more crowded than on any
previous day.

THE FUNDS.-(TIIIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE o' CLOCK.

The prior intelligence which we communicated
yesterday, received express from Vienna, of the
change in the disposition of the Grand Sultan, and
who at present is anxious to negociate for a peace,
is confirmed this morning by the arrival yesterday
evening of the Hamburg steamer; this sudden
change on the part of the Sultan no doubt has been
effected by the interference of the King of Prussia.
Owing to the French Mail not having arrived this
morning we are without an express from Paris,
consequently no further intelligence has been received
from the theatre of war; to the present hour the ar-
rivals are few and of no importance.
Consols opened this morning at the same price
they left off at yesterday, 89i for the account, since
which the market has become heavy, and Consols
have receded to 89 for the account and 881 for
money, owing to several sales having been effected.

TWO O'CLOCK.

The Consol Market has been in a very fidgety state
during the whole of the morning, when Consols
were at 89 sellers, since which a reaction has taken
place, and Consols may be quoted 891 for the Ac-
count, buyers, and 88i- 9 for money.
The cause of the previous fall in the market was
attributed to a Stock Exchange report of some
naval preparations going forward, which soon dwindled
into smoke; and the market resumed its former
firmness. A list has been seen of no less than
twelve failures yesterday, independent of the great
house which failed on Saturday in the wool trade,
some of them being to a large amount. Baron N.
M. Rothschild takes his departure for Paris this
evening. His sojourn in the above capital will be
of short duration.

MAGAZINE DAY.

BLACKWOOD S MAGAZINE.

PART I.

There is a double number this month of Old
Christopher North's spirited Miscellany, and
each is excellent in its kind. In the one ‘ve
have a romantic poem by the Ettrick Shepherd,
entitled " Elen of Reigh," not altogether un-
worthy of his well-known fairy tale " Kilmeny,"
and in the other an imaginative piece of blank
verse, modelled on the Lake school, both as re-
gards its style and sentiment, by Professor Wil-
son, under the name of " An Evening in Fur-
ness Abbey." In the present Number the ar-
ticles are numerous and well-selected ; the only
one to which we feel inclined to object, being
an analysis of a strange German tragedy ; which
however, as a piece of criticism is unimpeach-
able ; though we must confess we should have
preferred to see the writer developing his ana-
lytical faculties on some less exhausted topic
than German melodrame. " A scene off Ber-
muda" is a spirited little description of a nau-
tical manoeuvre, by which an English little brig
escaped the clutches of a huge uncouth Ame-
rican frigate of the largest class. In ,one or two
points of this sketch—for it is but a sketch—
we are reminded of the vigorous and graphic
powers of the American novelist, Cooper. " My
Landlady and her Lodgers," by Mr. Galt, im-
proves upon acquaintance.. The following de-
scription of a drunken negro is amusing :

"That same night after the conversation I have just
told you of," said Mrs. Winsom, " Jugurtha, the now
corrupted creature, came home in the twilight ree with
drink, his face shining like a carved mahogany head var-
nished, and his white eyes rolling audaciously. But as he
was in the main a good-natured thing, he was more an
object of derision than of anger.
" He had not well sat down at the kitchen fire, till he

began to sing, in a very odd way, the song of Rule
Britannia—Britons never will be slaves ;' and every now
and then he rose and rampauged through the kitchen,
giving a stamp with his foot that made the whole house
dirt, crying out, ' Don't care d—n for Massa—me Massa
now—Massa fleggee me—me floggee now Massa—Rule
Britannia—Britains eber will be slave !'

" ' Jugurtha,' said I, in a kind and composing man-
ner, he advised by me, and sit down soberly, and tell us
what all this outstrapolousness means.'
" Missee,' replied he, 'me free—me no black man,
nigger—me Briton, me heart of oak—me drub 'em—old
Massa pay me shall wage for time me come to Old
England—

Me gentleman of England,
Dat lib from home at seas.'

" Well, well, Jugurtha,' was my sedate observation,
no doubt ye are a gentleman. It may be seen ye are,
just by looking at ye ; but what's to become of this Maroon
war that we have heard so much about, and how blood-
hounds were brought from Santamingo to hunt the runa-
way niggers? Surely ye're no turned a Maroon ?'
" No, Missee—no, Missee—me fire out de clearing-
house round de door, when 'em d—n Maroon would
kill Massa.'

" At this moment Mr. Flowerfield, who had heard the
uproar, and something of what was going on, came down
stairs, and cried, You black rascal!'
" The sound of his voice cowed Jugurtha, the intoxicated
emancipator, causing him to retire slinking towards his
seat at the fire-side, rebuked and subdued. But it was
only for a short duration, for the drink was in his head ;
he became most dreadful : starting from his seat, looking
awful with his white teeth, and crying, as it were with a
roar, 'Me no black rascal—me free man—my soul
buckra soul.'

" And who washed the Ethiopian ?' said Mr. Flower-
field, looking round the kitchen, as I thought, for some
weapon to inflict law and justice for such contumacy.
Jugurtha snapped his fingers at the old gentleman, who
had, by this time, caught hold of the hearth-brush, and
who, without saying a word, knocked him down in a most
methodical manner. I thought he was murdered, and
Babby thought he was dead ; and so, to see such a black
act as the slaying of a nigger in our house, caused us both
at once to cry out in desperation, ' Murder and help—
help !' "
" Colonna, the Painter" is an impressive and
finely penned tale, full of high wrought incident.
" The Ruined Nunnery," by Delta, is a pas-
sable specimen of versification, and the " Noctes
Ambrosianw," replete, as usual, with fun and
spirit.

PART 11.

" The Family Library," is a sensible lauda-
tory notice of a very deserving and diversified
miscellany. " A Prose Essay on Prosing," is
lively and anecdotical, interspersed here and
there with some sound, pertinent reflections, ex-
pressed with point and neatness. " The First
and Last Sacrifice," is a powerful tale, but
abounds too much in description, and too little
in action. It will nevertheless reward a perusal.
" An Essay on the Theory and Writings of
Wordsworth," is a prosing, spiritless dissertation,
on a subject which, from its exceeding triteness,
no power on earth can render interesting. We
are threatened with a continuation of it. This
is a dreadful thing to look forward to. " The
Loves of the Poets," is an eloquent notice of
Mrs. Jameison's late interesting work on that
subject. It is written in an amusing vein, half
sprightly, half serious, and cannot fail to pleaseE
" An Evening in Furness Abbey," is worthy of
its author. This is the highest praise we can
give it. The politics of these numbers are less
truculent than usual. This is an improvement.
