We this day have the melancholy duty of giving
the evidence on the Coronet's Inquest relative to the
death of the Marquis of LONDONDERRY. That it was
occa,ioned duping a fit of insanity there cannot be
the least doubt; but various causes are assigned for
his Lordship's unfortunate malady. Some attribute
it to the excessive cares and fatigues of his office,
while alters, who profess to have had the opportu-
nity of learning the sentiments of his Lordship, state,
that a supposed slight on the part of his MAJESTY, in
not commanding his attendance to Scotland, weighed
most heavily on his mind. Whether the extreme
pressure of business may not have harassed his spirits
and weakened his intellect, so as to unfit him for re-
ceiving patiently any mortification, it is difficult to
say; but, to a man who had so delicate a sense of
peisonal kindne,s, this imagined neglect may have
preyed too forcibly upon him.
It is reported that a misunderstanding has pre-
vailed for some time between'his Mozart and the
MARQUIS ; and that disagreement of opinion had
cccasionally taken place on affairs of State ; but, it
is said, on last Friday a very decided difference of
opinion between his MAJESTY and the Marquis ex-
isted on a subject not strictly political.—We give
these as the rumours of the day, without pledging
ourselves fur their accuracy.

The French Papers of Sunday have reached us.-
- They contain some speculations on the state of Spain,
further details of the destruction of the Turkish fleet,
a dreadful picture of the new atrocities committed by
the Turks on the few remaining inhabitants of Scio,
and an account of a frightful murder committed by
an Ecclesiastic in France.

It would really appear by the language of the Quo-
tidienne, and the articles of news which it continues
to insert, that a change had taken place in the senti-
ments of the Ultras towards the Greeks. Neither is
the alteration confined to the Quotidienne, it has taken
place in a quarter where it is still more extraordinary,
the Spectatcur Oriental, a Journal which appears
at Smyrna, under the very eyes and authority of the
Ottomans. This Journal, speaking of the late enter-
prize of the Greeks, says, " Nothing equals the sensa-
tion produced in the minds of the Turks, by the ca-
tastrophe of their fleet, at Scio. Nothing can recover
them from their surprise, and we admit that this
catastrophe is calculated to.give a new directions
to their ideas, and perhaps to events themselves.—
The self-devotion of LSONIDAS, amongst the an-
cient Greeks, produced, it is well known, more than
the most brilliant victory could have done, for it re-
tempered their souls, and carried them to a degree
of elevation till then unknown." On this passage the
Angsbwrg Gazette makes the following observations
Sach language was certainly not to be expected
from a Turkish J.•urnalist; but this time the disaster
has been too great to be concealed. According to
the report of the Turks themselves, their fleet con-
sisted of fifty-five sail before the catastrophe of Scio,
and after having been joined by the expedition which
left Constantinople on the 4th of June, it was com-
posed on the 7th of July of only thirty :five vessels.—
Twenty were therefore missing. Let us hope that
the panic which has taken possession of the Turks
will not cease, and Greece is saved.". This panic
seems indeed to be of no common kind, and to have
produced a most salutary effect at Constantinople, as
the following article, given by the Quotidienne, under
the date of Odessa, July 17, will prove:—" We have
at last received intelligence from Constantinople, of
the 11th inst. The catastrophe of the Turkish, fleet has
produced in that capital the effect of an electric stroke.
—The SULTAN himself and the Divan have been
equally struck, and Lord STRANUFORD, who lately
said that be direst not propose to the Porte to appoint
a Commissioner to treat with M. de TATISCHEFF,
has profitted by this general tenor to obtain from
the Divan every possible concession. If there ever
existed a favourable opportunity for making the Porte

give way, it
.is the present; and we entertan the
pleasing hope that, thanks to the valour of the (reeks.
the expedient so long and so vainly sought after has
been found." . Accounts of the 26th ult. from Trieste,
contain these additional.particulars of the atrocities
committed by the Turks in the villages of Mastic, in
the island of Scio, after the destruction of the Capi-
tan Pacha and a part of their fleet:—" The Turks,
after taking possession of these villages, collected
thirty thousand men, women, and children, whom
they drowned, burned, or carried into captivity.—
On the sth of July the Asiatics brought to Tchesme
780 young girls, from IS to 17 years of age; and
after having bound them with ropes, they carried
them to the market of Smyrna, and to other parts of
Asia. Many of them died on the road through want
and grief." And is it to protect such monsters that
all the Christian Governments of Europe have lately
exerted their influence, rather than abandon Turkey
to that fate which her crimes demand; and which
PROVIDENCE is now raising up more faithful instru-
ments to inflict ! It is in fact remarkable, that the
more the Greeks are deserted by their brother Chris-
tians, the more they seem to become objects of DIVINE
favour and protection, and succeed in their enterpt kes.
The Constitutionnel says that a courier from Vienna
has brought intelligence announcing that the Austrian
ICourt was not disposed, any mole than the British Ca-
binet, to second the views of the Counter-revolu-
tionists iu Spain, but intended to leave them to their
own efforts and resources.

The following is the account of a most horrible
murder committed by a Priest. Is is given by the
Mayor of the Commune where the crime took place :

" On Monday, May 8, 1828, in the afternoon, M.
Ecclesiastic, of the age of £B, Cure of Quentin-sur-Isere, went to
the house of a young woman, whose tragical end I announced in
my notice of June 5 (Marie Gerin, whose married name was
Charnalet), and remained there about two hours. This woman,
who was pious, was to have gone the next day to communicate
at Vcury, a neighbouring parish, where the first communion of
children was to take place, and it appears that the Cure appointed
her an hour to hear her in confession in the evening. She was
seen entering the Church about six in the evening ; she went in
alece, and was not seen to come out.
" The husband of this unfortunate woman went at nine o'clock,
to seek her at the houses of several of her relations; he went
with a female cousin of his wife to; the Parsonage-house, conti-
guous to the Church. The Cure, who made them wait a few
instants, said, at first, he had not seen her—then, recollecting
himself, added, he bad seen her devoutly praying, but without
speaking to her.

" While he spoke, the Cure walked out from the Parsonage,
as if he feared they might come in. The Cure afterwards held
the same language to different persons; to others he said, that
not having found this female in a decent dress enough, he had
declined bearing her confession. The Wednesday, it must be
remarked, was a working day.
" About half-past four o'clock in the morning, an inhabitant
of the town, descending towards the plain by a path, not fre-
quented at night, perceived a little from it, and about two hun-
dred yards from the Parsonage, blood in abundance, a penknife
stuck in the ground, and a string, about six metres long, both
bloody. In the same place were found rap of flesh and some
fragments of bone. Traces of blood led other persons to the
bank of the here, where the neck-handkerchief of the unhappy

woman was recognised, without doubt placed there to give rise
to the idea that she had drowned herself. The idea of assavoina-
tion occurred to no one in a country which, within the memory
of man, had not been stained by any aims. Suicide was thought
of. It was imagined, contrary to all prebabWty, that after
having stabbed herself with the knife (which was afterwards
recognised as not belonging to her). she had preserved strength
to go and throw herself into the Isere. It is 890 paces from the
place where the knife was found to the bank of the here, where
the handkerchief was.

" The despair of the woman was explained by the rigour of
the Curd in confession; and it was imagined, that having been
refused absolution, she had destroyed herself. Her death was
said to be the work of the devil, and credulity and superstition
propagated the story. On the 111th of the same month, how-
ever, the character of the terror that was created was changed,
when some shepherds discovered in a creek of the here, SW paces
from the place where the handkerchief was found, the thigh and
the left leg of the victim. On the Thursday following, the day
of the Ascension, the bust was found, about six leagues below
St. Quentin. The identity was established. It appears hence
certain, that the body of the victim was carried whole by the
assassin to the place where the rope and knife were found, and
that be there dismembered the body !
" On Friday, May 17, about ten in the morning, the gen-
darmerie came to St. Quentin and went to the parsonage to make
investigations. Almost immediately after the departure of the
gendarmes the Cure went off himself, and the same day gained
Les EcheUes, a frontier of Savoy. He was arrested a few days
after and conducted to the prisons of Chambery, where he re-
mains detained. No other inhabitant of St. Quentin has left it
Mice May 8. I could enter into other details—speak of groans
heard the evening of the same day in the neighbourhood of the
church. But the procedure wiU undoubtedly dissipate the dark-
ness in which crime would envelope itself.
(Signed) " DAVIN, Mayor."

We are somewhat surprised (says the Constitutionnel)
at learning that a man accused of so execrable a
crime has not yet been delivered up. The Piedmon-
tese Government made no difficulty in giving up Di-
dier, accused of a political conspiracy Is
it that men accused of murders that make one shud-
der appear less dangerous than those cast forth by
our sad civil dissensions ?

We have received, by express, Madrid Papers to
the 7th instant. They contain a variety of details
relative to the political and financial state of Spain.
The most important article is the announcement of a
change of Ministry. It appears in the Universal of
the 6th, in the form of a postscript, and the follow-
ing are the terms in which the statement is given:
" It is twelve at night, and we are informed that his Majesty
has now agreed to the formation of the new Ministry., We do
not pledge ourselves for this news; but the following are the
persons said to be Sled on for Ministers, via.—Don Evuisto
San Miguel, Don Francisco Fernandes due*, Don FeHpe
nieio Navarro, Don Antonio Martinez, Don Manuel VadiHo,
and Senor Caps. We repeat, that we do not pledge ourselves

to this acesent, bet we em stmt thet"the itew Adage
win be essmiseted te.eiseriew."
The same paper contains two Decrees addressed to
the Marquis de SANTA CREE, Major-demo, of the
Paldce. These Decrees relieve, according to the of-
ficial language, the Conde del PUMA from the alcel
of Chamberlain, and the Marquis de MOIIIESPARE
BELOIDA hint the office of Master of the Muse, sod
appoints the Marquis de SANTA CEDE to discharge
the dutiespre empire.
General LOPEZ BANOS* the new Minister of War,
arrived in Madrid on the evening of the Sth. The
liberal party hailed his arrival with eaultation. He
was expected greatly to influence the appointment of
the other Ministers, and 03 urge the adoption of ener-
getic measures for defeating the wicked designsof the
external and internal enemies of the liberties of Spain,
MINA arrived in the capital on the 4th instant, to
confer with the Government on the Mtatis of tran-
quillizing Catalonia.
The conduct of the Duke of INFANTA/Xi is still re-
garded with suspicion. He was ordered to Badajos.
and, on his application to the Government, was per-
mitted to pass to the second military district ; but
the express condition that he should reside in Co-
runna. On his way he lingered at Ponferrada, and
the Government had to send fresh orders for him to
proceed to his destination. Reimours had prevai:ed
of his having headed a party of insurgents.
The accounts from the provinces do not possess
much interest. Some uninteresting skirmishes with
the.banditti, who take the title of " Soldiers of the
Faith," are detailed. It appears that these insurgents,
though they commit great depredations on the de-
fenceless inhabitants, are incapable of coming into
the field in any force; and that, when they do chew
themselves, they are invariably defeated by a very
inferior number of the Constitutional troops. 'The
leaders of the servile bands endeavoured to turn to
their advantage the mutiny of the Guards, by spread-
ing the report that the KING was absolute at Madrid ;
but this manoeuvre was not attended with any success.
It is, however, in the Palace that the principal ene-
mies of the Constitution are believed to exisv; and
some of the Madrid Journals are loud in their demands
that the Royal Household shall be purified. Some
occurrences have lately taken place, which, though
rivial in themselves, acquire importance as indica-
tions of the spirit that prevails.
It appears that, at half-past five o'clock on Tuesday
evening, the 30th ult. six stones, of considerable size,
were thrown from a window of the Palace, at a Mili-
tiaman and a soldier of the regiment of the Infante
Don Carlos, who were on duty at the place called
Panto de Diamante.
The Commandant of the Guard, on being in-
formed of this insult, communicated the circumstance
to his Excellency Senor Don ion de PALAFOX, Cap-
tain of Halberdiers, pointing oat the window whence
the stones had issued, and alleging that they had
been thrown by a woman. His Excellency immedi-
ately proceeded to verify the fact, and it was proved
that the stones had been thrown from the apartment
copied by the Senora de Lociuz, duenna to the
Senora Infanta Donna FRANCISCA de Aszs, as it ap-
pealed by a seamstress who was in the habit of going
to work by the day in the said apartment, and who,
by order of his Excellency, was immediately placed
in the custody of the guard of the Palace.
His MAJESTY being informed of the circumstance,
transmitted a Royal Order to the Secretary at War,
for ascertaining the truth, and for the speedy punish-
ment of the guilty. His MAJESTY says he does not
wish the Palace to become an asylum for delinquents.
" Though from the statement of the Captain of
the Halberdier Guards, it appears that the person
ho threw the stones was not a dependent of the
Palace, but a seamstress, who happened to be in
the chamber of Senora de LOCUS, duenna to the Se-
nora Donna FRANC/SCA de Am; yet his MAJESTY
has determined that all who inhabit the said apart-
' ments shall abstain from making use thereof, until
they have legally proved their innocence—the Fiscal
who directs the inquiry being empowered freely to
arrest those to whom any suspicion may attach, and
to receive the declarations which he may think pro-
per, without the necessity of any farther authority."
A few days afterwards a similar insult was offered
to the exterior guard of the Palace: a large glass
bottle, and some old shoes, have been thrown at some
soldiers of the militia, but it has not been ascertained
from whose apartments they had been thrown.
There are in these Papers several articles contain-
ing statements respecting the Spanish finances.
On the Ist inst. Senors DIAZ del MORAL, PARDO,
and SUAREZ del VILLAR, entered on execution of
their functions. The first takes charge of the office
for the examination, recognition, and liquidation of
the documents of the public debt; the second is com-
missioned to superintend the incorporation and aliena.
lion of the property consigned to the same object;
and the third is exclusively charged with all the na-
tional property applicable to public credit, and with
the collection of the duties thereto appropriated.
An abstract of the Budget fixes the charges for the
public service of the year, commencing with the Ist
of July last, at 664,813,324 reals. The Ways and
Means ate calculated to cover this expenditure,
Among the items under the last head, the Revenue on
articles of consumption is estimated at one hundred
millions of reels. .
A Memorial, addressed to the Minister of the In•
terior, has been published by Don NT/MI rt Ben-

Titan its ka, in which the Memorialist proposes, on
(certain considerations, toyfurnish all the money which
may be required for carrying on all the public worl3
of acknowledged utility in different parts of Spain.

This forenoon we received a mass of intellizence
frogs Spain, by the way of BatOnne, tip to the eeh
instant. The accounts from Madrid, which are only
to the Sd, are chiefly anticipated by later intelligeree
direct from that capital. On the Ist inst. Salvaeor
Gabardo, a soldier in the Guards, and one cf the ac•
complices in the murder' f Lieutenant LANDABuitcr,
was executed in the public 'square. All the g;arivai
was under arms. He wished to harangue the people
from the scaffold, but the Priests would not allow it,
The crowd was immense, and generally pitied the
victim, whom they would willingly have delivered
if they could put in his place the principhl wersons
whom public opinion designates as the atith,zs of
the plots.—lt is affirmed that pallisades are truing
to be placed on the heights (Vistilla,), and even that
several cannon will be placed at different pmts of
the capital.
The accounts from flit Provinces arc nrt of much
importance. A strong column has made itself mas-
ter of Mequinenza, in Arragon, according to letters
from Saragossa, the Governor of which has applied
to Madrid for reinforcements.

A confederation has been formed in the three Pro.
vinces of Biscay to raise ten companies of Chas,,eurs
to pursue the factious, who commit the greatest ex-
cesses. These soldiers will be paid by the Prov;nces,
and placed under the command of three distin-
guished Officers.

QUESADA has withdrawn his whole force to the ex-
treme frontier, and is employed in constantly exer.
cising his soldiers. According to the last statement
w;*.h he has sent to General Ecims, his division con
sists of 2300 foot and 300 horse. Orders have come
from Madrid to Bayonne to suspend a;1 supplies, and
to require accurate accounts from those who have
managed the large sums received from the 114ninsula.

New York Papers to the 14th of July, and Phila..
delphia to the 13th, arrived this day.

PROM TILE BALTIMORC PATRIOT, JULY I I.

The schooner Amanda arrived at this last
evening, in the remarkable quick passage of sisty•five
days from Valparaiso : she left Valparaiso on the 3d
of May. The United States ship Franklin, and the
frigate Constellation, were to sail in two days for the
United States, via Rio Janeiro—NO news.
