years of age, rolled down stones during the whole ac-
tion upon the Turks. Like another Leonidas, the young
Bozzaris, covered with. glory and wounds, breathed
his last sigh amidst the cries of Elutheria (Liberty).

sacrificed himself through patriotism. Like his great
prototype of old, he joined art to enterprize, and went
over to Chourschid Pacha, to persuade him to pursue
the Greeks among the fastnesses where they had
formed ambushes for his destruction. For this pur-
pose he represented, in the strongest colours, the di-
visions which were, believed to prevail among the
Greeks, and promised Chourschid both his advice
and his support. The nubs]) Commander, how-
ever, still doubted his sincerity, and when he found
that defeat was the result of the advice thus given,
he caused Odysseus to be beheaded, and the guard
of two hundred men whom he had brought with him,
to be massacred."

The speech of M. BERVILLI is interesting inasmuch
as k stews how contemptible the cdespiracy was
which has given such alarm to the French Govern-
ment. The following area few of his observations on
the subject:
44 The accusation has laid down general facts ; it
then has endeavoured to :hew a participation in the
pin on the part of the prisoners belonging to Paris,
and among them it includes my client, Barasiere.—
Let us examine these pretensions. What is the situa-
tion of an accuser ?—that of a person who makes a
demand. Every person who does so ought to define
that demand, and the obligation is strictly imposed
pon an accuser who pleads against the presumption
of innocence—who claims not money, but human
blood, and who, ir he gains his causes does not obtain
damages or compensations, but punishment and scaf-
folds. In conspiracies especially, the accusation can-
not take its elements of conviction but in the circle
of the cause, and in facts personal to the accused.--
In fact, here the corpus delicti is not a material fact
certain and fixed in its nature—it is a fugitive thought
which must be seized and fixed, and which cannot
be exactly known but in making it personal to the
accused by the evidence.
" Has this course been followed ? What abuse of
general facts! What disproportion between the im-
portance of the accusation and the consequence of
the accused. It is the soldier, Bicherou, who leads
us through all Europe, and even into Greece—it is
the serjeant-major, Goupillon, who is called to answer
for the excess of civilization! Among the general
facts there are some of two orders. The first are facts
of Csrbonarism. They are not the objects of the
charge. AU those who were accused of pure and
simple Carbonarism have been released: but these
facts are a kind of train introduced into the cause to
frighten your imagination. Let us see how far this
fear is well founded. We bear talk of poniards, oaths,
and executions. Oh ! if I bad to prosecute a Mason-
lodge, how easy would it be for me to raise up, before
your eyes, the most frightful images! What terrible
oaths—what fi ightful trials, could I not conjure up
to your view ! And yet all the world knows that a
Mason-ledge is only a society for pleasure and bene-
volence. The poniard may be an innocent instru-

As private letters from Zar►te give a very different
account of the recent engagements between the Turks
and the Greeks, further information is necessary to
enable us to judge correctly as to the success of
the latter.

PRIVATE LETTER.
" P•■ts, AUGUST 26.

" We have got the English Players once more upon the lapis;
and as there is at this moment a dearth of opportunity for dis-
playing our Ministers in their more extended capacity, I will hold
up one of them, at least, in the narrowed sphere of domestic po-
licy. After the infamies of the Porte St. Martin, and the cowardly
retreat made by the Government before the violence of the mob.
Mr. Penley and his company found themselves here in the utmost
difficulty. Pillaged by the Proprietor of the Theatre of their just
share in the profits of the representation, and at immense loss by
their journey and sojourn in Paris, the Manager was ailised fo
ask leave to perform for six nights, by subscription, in a small
private Theatre in the rue Chantereine. He accordingly made
his application, and it threw the whole Cabinet into a dilemma—
such as might have been caused by a treaty of commerce or a
declaration of war. The point was debated in several successive
Councils, while the poor Players were kept dancing attendance
for nearly a fortnight in the greatest suspense, and at an almost
ruinous cost of living in the hotels of Paris. At length it was
hinted to Penley, that he might expect an answer on a certain
day and hour ; and, after several adjournments, he was at last in-
formed, that he might have liberty for his performances—not in
the Theatre he asked for—but in the Salle Fawn, one four times
as large as was r4ouired ; the fining up of which would cost an
immense expense, and which had no recommendaticn whatever

. -
but that it belongs to the brother-in-law of M. Corbiere, the
Minister of the Intesior—for whose family patronage a poor com-
pany of English Comedians were to be duped and re-pillaged. I
believe the secret annals of Ministerial meanness afford nothing
worse than this—but it did not succeed. Another of the Ministers
interfered, and the prisms* mairie of the Cabinet—fear, came in
to the decision of the point. It was apprehended that the' Central
situation of the Salk Aware might attract obstructions to the per-
formance, and as the English Ambassador warmly espoused the
claims of Mr. Parley, the little private theatre was finally granted,
and the Mini►terial Rulers of France thus finished a negotiation,
worthy of the Cabinet which, in its wisdom. ordained Talma
not to pace, the stage, in the character of Sylla, with his hands
behind his back, because such was a common habit of Napoleon !
—The representations of the English plays go on quietly enough,
and are patronised by a number of amateurs of La Litteralure
Anglaise, and oppoiers of the new system of French Pufftesse."

ment—and that of the Carbonari has not, since the
society has been established in France, inflicted the
least wound. This fact speaks volumes against the
frightful suppositions of the indictment. The con-
demnation of the Templars took place on charges
equally terrible, and posterity has cleared them. Since,
then, simple Carbonarism is not the crime, let us pass to
the second order of facts—namely, those relative to the
plot. The accusation denounces a vast conspiracy
formed against social order, and against all thrones.
Now turn your eyes to the prisoners at the bar. You
see a young Advocate—a schoolmaster—a student of
medicine—a clerk in a private administration—a
'Captain (abandoned by the prosecutor)—three Ser-
ljeant-Majors—a soldier—such is the vast conspiracy
against all thrones! I look for the funds of this con-
spiracy, and I find thirty francs (twenty-four shil-
lings and sixpence) given by the charity of the Pi erect
to one of the accused. Such is the opulence of the
conspirators! But their arms ? Twenty blades,
mostly without handles, proved to be the sabres for
Wants, shortened. But we hear of a Directing Com-
mittee. Where is it ?—who proves its existence ?
It escapes, it is said, judicial proofs. Why, then, do
you introduce it into a judicial process ? But it shews
itself by its acts! Where are they? They are es-
tablished by former judgments. What are these
judgments? There was a conspiracy, they say, at
Nantes, at Strasburg, at Belfort, at Joigny. My
client replies, verdicts of acquittal were pronounced
at Joigny, at Belfort, at Nantes, and at Strasburg."
The Coubsel then asked who were the conspirators ?
what were their means of seduction? and what was
the conduct of the Chiefs of this military plot . Be-
ties was imprisoned for quarrelling with the Sy/la—
the inheritance of his plot, like the Impassion of
Alexander, passed successively into the hands of,
Pommies and Goabio, who likeoriet contrived to get
into the clutches of the polka. The conspirators
were thus reduced to two agleam and one soldier !
who had no money, and made no preparation in their
barracks for executing their plot."4—The Learned
Counsel then shelved that his, client had nothing to
do with the conspiracy.
These Papers contain letters from

The Portuguese Papers contain some Royal letters
from the Ktxa at Lisbon, to his son, the PRINCE RE-
GENT, in the Brazils. One of these letters directs the
Palma REGENT to institute a summary investigation
into the reasons why the Deputies of Minas Geraes,
and the other transmarine Provinces, have not taken-
their seats in the Sovereign Congress. A second let-
ter contains the Decree of the Cortes, authorising the
continued residence of the PRINCE at Rio Janeiro
and governing under the KING and the Cortes until
the publication of the Political Constitution of the
Portuguese Monarchy ; and orders that the Provi-
sional Juntas of the Government be elected and in-
stalled, conformable to the Decree of the 29th of Sep•
tember, 1821, in all the Provinces in which it has
net yet been faithfully executed.
Another Decree of the Cones condemns the De-
cree of the PRINCE REGENT of the 16th of February
last, directing a convocation of Representatives of the
different Provinces of Brazil, and :declares it null
and void.

Gibraltar Papers to the 18th ult. state, that the in-
surrection in the Ronda Mountains was begun by a
few vagabonds, for the sake of the plunder, and that
their whole force is calculated at not more than 200
men, and against them troops were advancing from
Algeciras and Malaga, while others were assembling
in the Ronda Mountains to attack them.

lALDIYAR has again made his appearance in the
neighbourhood of Xeres. The city of Leon is reported
