AUGSBURG, NOVEMBER 41.

Letters from Belgrade speak of the great sensation
which the successes of the Greeks have caused in Servia,,
Bulgaria, and Thessaly. The Turkish authotities in
these provinces are in the greatest anxiety, because the
military force at their disposal is utterly insufficient to
put down any insurrection that may break out among
the inhabitants of the Greek religion.
The Divan is said to be extremely dissatisfied with
the Viceroy of Egypt. At Constantinople it is reported
that an Ager.t is to be sent to Cairo, with very strict
orders from the Sultan; but it is thought that nobody
will venture to go or. such a mission to the Pacha, who
is absolute in his Province.

In another part of our Paper we have given an ex
position of the numerous and extensive forgeries com-
mitted by Mr. FAUNTLEROY. While tiv:re was a pos-
sibility (for hope there seemed none) of his life being
saved, we avoided any observations which in the least
tended to aggravate his case, though we are of opinion
that the false sympathy excited in his favour, clitl more
harm than the most aggravated picture of his conduct;
it was calculated to lessen his crime in his own
opinion, and to give him hopes of life for which there'
was no ground. That there is no attribute of Royalty
which his MAJESTY so much delights to exercise as
mercy, we are convinced, but there never was a case of
forgery which presented less claim to it than that of Mr,
FAUNTLEROY ; for had it been determined to abolish
capital punishment for this crime, there would be an
inconsistency in giving the benefit of it to a man, the
amount of whose forgeries exceed those of, perhaps, all
the persors executed for the crime during the last twenty
years put together. The defence he made was one of
the most extraordinary ever heard in a Court of Justice.
Of its truth we say nothing, because if true, it could not
Avail him; nor will we call the sacrifice of himself to-
support the credit of the house with which he was con-
nected, an act of generosity, since it was done by a
felonious appropriation of the property of others—
the property of widows and orphans. Surely, to hold
up such a man as having a claim on public sympathy,
is to abuse the term, and most grossly, and to
overthrow the great barrier between right and wrong.
~There is another point in which a portion of the public,

'Press has :hewn bad taste, if sot 'injustice 1 we alludes
to the case of the Lady Mr. FAUNTLZROY, kept at
South Lambeth, whose affection, griefs, and sufferings
are blazoned forth, while the amiable and neglected
wife is treated with cold indifference. Seclusion and
retirement surely best become this Lady, and they do
her a manifest injustice who thus drag her before the
public, for it never can: be forgotten, that she was the
mistress of a man uho had a lawful and amiable wife
still living.
