2.5.--PSITATI larrtilt.

For some days past it is observed that there is a con-
siderable degree of activity in the Department of Fo-
reign Affairs. Cabinet messengers are frequently dis-
patched to London and St. Petraurgh, and others
arrive from those two capitals with dispatches from
the Ambassadors of England and Russia. It is cost-
lectured that the affairs of Turkey are undergoing a
serious discussion, and that plans are in contemplation
which Will greatly embarrass the Turkish Government,
if it persists in disregarding its true interests by finally

regard to the affairs of the Pcloponnesuu

PROM Mg JOURNAL Das DEBAT. Or SUNDAY.
While M. Dams announces from the Tribune that.
France is acting in the East a part which corresponds
with her dignity—although this action consists only in
the conferences of our Ambassador with the Austrian
Internuncio—two Powers, the Ministers of which speak
less and do more, press the Divan to accept a mediation,
the result of which would be to pacify Greece, which
has been desolated by a struggle of five years' duration
against its oppressors. The Divan resists, talks of legi-
.tinsacy, invokes sovereignty de facto, and declares th.t
it will not acknowledge in any Power the right of in-
*terventi-n in its own affairs. There is no oppress r who
does not seek to give the shew of principle to his argu-
, meat at the very moment when he is attempting to sub-
e'en it. It is an homage paid to principle, but it is that
of hypocrisy to virtue. Let us not overlook the fact,
that preparations for war are made at Constantinople,
and that regiments manseovre there with a standard, to
die,under which is to be esteemed a martyr. Allow the
Divan to continue to believe that the demands of Chris-
tian Powers are formalities which may be eluded with
address, or repulsed in case of need by force; let it con-
fine an Ambassador in the Seven Towers; and, in 20
years hence, it will be difficult to say which will be pre-
' dominant—barbarism or civilization; Doubtless this
is not the only consideration which has determined
Russia and England to speak to the Divan io strong
language. Powerful as this consideration ought to be
with Statesmen, it is not the only one which has had an
influence on this occasion. The commerce of the Ar-

chipelago and the Mediterranean—a secret sympathy
for persons of the same religion—a numerous army
upon the frontiers, surprised at having to wait so long
for the object for which it was assembled—these may
explain the recent attitude of the two Cabinets, who
imagine that, even in politics, there is a limit for
patience. But who will undertake to justil the in-
dolence of our Cabinet? What "are we to be-
come i r Europe? 1. France less powerful than she was
when confided to our Ministers? Have they rendered
her voice impotent with other Governments?•• We all
remember having heard that voice, but it is true it was
not they who were then its organ. Ail the eloquence
of M. de Damas must fail in convincing us that the part
which we act in the negotiations at Constantinople
corresponds with the dignity of a great nation. There
is a public voice which does not deceive, and which is
quite equivalent to official declarations. Is the question
that of saving a people, whose cause has made as many
hearts palpitate in France as in other Christian countries?
Ye.. England and Russia threaten. It is not sufficient
for France to advise. It is in vain to talk to us of di-
plomatic reasonings, which, according to our statesmen,
ought to moderate the ardour of out philanthropy. It is
in vain to justify our uneasy reserve towards Austria,
.end our tergiversation with the Divan. In all this there
is nothing but weakness. Let us await the conclusion,
and we shall find that Austria will not forgive our
. councils—that England and Russia will consider them
timid; the Porte will think them officious; and eman-
cipated Greece will not reckon tie amongst the number
of its saviours.

DRESDEN, May !6.
Since the secession of our new King, there has been
ao change in the Ministry, and it is understood that the
system pursued by his late Majesty will not be at all
modified. It is asserted that, oa the evening of his death,
Frederick Augustus called his brothers and nephews to
his bel, and recommended to them toleration and im-
partiality in all the relations between Catholic and Pro-
teitant subjects. Her Majesty the Queen, who is sister
of the Emperor of Austria, has appointed two Protestant
, Ladies to be her maids of honour. This it without pre-
. cedent in Dresden. _ . .

. _
The Journal de Lyons mentions that a young girl,
• whose head had been turned by the Missionaries, has
destroyed herself by burning herself upon a funeral pile
of her own erection. B. fore she died, which was not
until some days afterwards (having been snatched frcm
the pile by htr mistress), she declared that she had re
cefved an'order from Heaven to burn herself ; and the
. night before sbe died she got up and sang her canticles
of remissiqn.

• Russia, wearied with the eternal tergiversations of the
Divan, and justly irritated at its refusal to listen to the

TRIBUNAL OF CORRECTIONAL POLICE.
♦r7ATL Of TIM CRNSTITOTIONNIM. ♦ND Copan". FRANCAIS. COMPLAINT
.0/ DEFAMATION AIDA/NST K. COPUMNON, INSTICTOR OF !WC&

Al ter the usual formalities, and the customary ques-
tions pot to Messrs. Pauchet and Guise, the responsible
editors of the above, Papers,
DIXACALMB, the King's ♦dvocate, stated that
errs: persons were cited for defamation of the public

' Authorities and Administration. M. Cophignon, thr
agent of the police, had been pointed out as having
flayed the part of an inciting agent in certain dis•
turbances on the 17th of lay, and as having been found
the bearer of a false carte ofeledeur, has cited the re-
sponsible Editors of the two Journals as gray of defa-
mation against him.
Cophign4m was then examined. He was an old man,
and wore the riband of the Legion of Honour. He de
scribed himself as employed in the office of Inspector
of the Police. He had been beaten, and his papers taken
from him by the audents of Medicine, and deprived of
his carte crelectear, dated 1822.
Two witnesses were called to prove that the com-
plainant had been occupied on the morning of the 17th,
in arresting a M. Carpentier, a bookseller, till two
o'clock, and consequentky that it was impossible for him
to have taken part in the disturbances which had taken
place in the morning.
M. DELAPALME, the King's Advocate, then gave a
rapid statement of the disturbances caused at the course
of M. Recamier, by some turbulent person I he spoke)
of " a venerable old man insulted," of " young men re-
sisting the severe measures of authority, in the same
manner as the advice of their masters, knocking down'
and dragging in the mud the persons .invested with
authority, and in the name of liberty, rummaging an
old soldier coveted with honourasle wounds, and the

marks of honour."
Ah! Gentlemen (said M. D ), let ns turn from this
picture to the scene where air young men, to save the
unfortunate old man, and at length, at the hazard of
their own lives, placed him in satety. Some days after
these disturbances were about to be quieted by those
means which the instructors, placed in the situation of
fathers, would be able to employ. At that time these
two papers Viought proper to represent the transactioh
under such colours as those of which the complaint was
made." He e he read the objectionable passages, and
concluded by requiring that both Editors should be con-
demned to one month's imprisonment; and the first to
a fine of 5.000 f. and the second to 3,0001.
M. pontaa-Durcuats was heard uD the part of Co-
phi grlon.
M. %snug w accused the rules Advocate of not
reading the Attic* preceding and following the ob-
jectionable Articles; from which it appeared that the
Courier Francais had reczived certain explanations with
respect to the young man whose body was exposed
at the Morgue. The body had on the left side of the
forehead a long oblique wound. It was impossible,
under the circumstances attending its mode of exposure,
to distinguish whether the wound had been inflicted by
a cutting or a bluut instrument. Ti.is was the effect of
the Article which appeared in the Etoik, and it was
immediately copied by the Courier. So far was it from
any bad intention, that it endeavoured to indute the
young students not to participate in those tumultuary
as emblies.

The reasoning on the other side was strange enough.
M. COPHIGNON said;:—"You defame me by saying, a
spy voted as an elector.; It I am a spy, thave been
an elector." The Advocat:, after pointing ot4 the
evil effects of forgery at elections, produced some
curious statements on the subject of Ministe ial pro-
cee‘'.ings at Elections. "It is," continued he, "curious
to remark, that the elector, Copi:ign..n, whose exist-
ence, it is said. was quite independent, is indicated by
the letter C.—that is to say, es one of that class who
have occasion to preset ye the confidence of all parties,
which would be quite conformable to the office of a
secret agent, silhich was to precede that of Inspector
of Police. We have other document's to rroee, that
in this second College, into :inch we see the electors
classed by power, there sere at least thirteen persons
with forged cartes. I see on the list of this College M.
Delaquit, Rue Cadet, No. 5, calculated at 1.218. lc.
of direct taxes, in.cribed offici .lly by the Prefect of
La Seine, among the electors of that D part:nent, al-
though he had previously exercised his political rights
in the Department of Aisne, and no proof was pro-
duced in his narre either for his age or contributions.
M. Delaquit answered to the call of the Prefect : he
voted for the nomination of Ministerial scrutineers, and
an extraordinary thing, for he had been dead for 14
months. An elector of good memory observed the fact
aloud, and his vote is no longer to be found in the pro-
ceedings of the College. A still more important tact
exists, which has been pr ved at the request of Brron
Schonea, Counsellor at the Court Royal, in the preces-
verbal of the College. of the arrondissement of which
this Magistrate formed a part: —An Elector appeared
on the list as twenty-eight years of age: his certificate
of birth was prerented to him, and yet he was allowed
to vote by the President appointed by the Government,
although unable to produce a contradictory certificate.
A. M. Noirot, jun. aged 23 years, a wine merchant,
Rue Saint Marc, No.lB, was not mentioned in the list
of electors; he had no right to vote ; he did not present
himself in any of the sections of the second Arrondisse-
ment, in spite of the official transmission to him of a
calte d'ileaeur. The contest lay between Messrs. La-
fitte and Sanlot-Bagnenault. M. Noirot received a
second carte, accompanied by this letter :
" Paris, Feb. 59, 1826.
" Sta.—.l have karat that you have not been, either yesterday or
to-day, at your College. Undoubtedly, important circumstances
can have alone prevented you ; I hope this will not be the case to-
morrow. The Election may depend upon your vote. You would
not, I am sure, refuse it to the general good; and I am quite sure
that this appeal to your honourable feelings will be attended to. Ac-
cept, Sir, the a,surance of my great consideration.
(Signed) CHABSOL,
" The Prefect of the Seine."
In this there is nothing but a very laudable desire, as
he would have us believe, for the welfare of the State,
but the postscript explains the matter in question.
" P.B. You no doubt know; that ht. Bagnenault has only wanted
three votes."
Thus it was for the success of a candidate, and to
prevent the public misfortune of H. Lafitte's nomination,
that the good Prefect converted M. Noirot into an elec-
t:T, who had not required it, and who had no tight to ir,
and whose vulgar scruples were to be conquered by an
invocation of the general interet.
M. Dural then addressed the Tribunal ; and, after
the reply of the King's Advocate and M. Metilhon, the
decision of the cause was deferred for a week.

Frankfort, and other Gorman Papers to the 30th nit
reached us 'this morning. They contain advices from

Constantinople to the 9th ult. received by way of
Odessa, which mention, as a report very prevalent in'
that capital, thai Lord COCHRANE had already struck
a great blow. But, as neither the exploit is seecified.
nor the time and place are mentioned, the Terri appears
to merit very little attenion. Besides, we have had
accounts from &lite of nearly as recent a date, which
.fiteke no mention of any naval achievement performed
by his Lordship, who !sad not in fact thevequisite time
to do any thing worthy of his professional reputation,
or the expectations of the people, whose cause he has
joined. We suspect, Therefore, that the present rumour
has some connexion with a former very loose report, in
which it was stated that he had desteoyed or captured
some Turkish' illippiog in the port of Navarins
There are accounts in these Papers from St. Peters-
burgh to 17th May, suiting, amongst other things, that
the EMPIROR would %snout lot Wraacoa, near Smolensk,
in a few dap, for the purpose 61 reviewing the large
body cf car air y assembled there. We alluded to this
subject before, upon which scission we endeavoured 1
draw the attention of our readers to the power of a So.
vet eign, who could thus muster in one place a corps of
60,000 cavalry, without subtracting a regiment from
the forces, quartered in Old Russia, in Besserabia,
Georgia, &c. Fortunately for the tranquillity of the
world, and the security of the rest of Europe, money is
not so plentiful in Russia as men; and, to make war
feed war, is an art, as defective in practice, as it is
sounding in name. We cannot conjecture the exact
purpose for which the Russian EMPRROR exhibits this
grand pageant A the present moment, unless it be to
influence the negociations now pending in the Turkish
capital, for which purpose, we allow, it is admirably
calculated. But, when we hear that Russia is preparing
for actual hostilities, we treat the intelligence with deri.
sion, for we are persuaded, she will not take a step with
respect to the contest between the Greeks and Turks, ex•
cept in concert with her allies. If she were to make it a
mere Russian question, those Powers, which now. act
with her in unison, would be her most decided and on-
compromising opponents. They may make demonstra-
strations in common to induce the Porte to come to a
seasonable arrangement ; but they never will have re.
course to an armed waadiation, mail they find that di-1
plomatic means fail. In the meantime, the idea of a
Russian army passing the Pruth, and occupying the
two Provinces provisionally, appears to us pre-emi-
nently absurd ; and, though we are obliged to allow
that things, fully as improbable, have taken place,
we must say that no English Statesman at all
worthy of the name, would wink at, much less openly
sanction, sts dangerous an encroachment on the part
of Russia. Indeed the article, upon which we are
courmenting, shews that no warlike purpose is connected
with the present movements of the EMPEROR; as it
distinctly says that he will not be absent more than a
fortnight from his capital.
We extract from a Brunswick Paper the following
peevish remarks upon an individual, who, through the
indiscretion (to use the mildest possible term) of the
Brunswick Government, has made more noise recently,
than he probably contemplated, or wished himself:

The Privy Counsellor, Von Schmidt Phiseldeck, asked to be

grounded his application on the circumstance that he had some
years received and accepted an offer of being employed In the ger.
