LONDON:
WEDNESDAY ZVEXING, IMPTIMIIZR 5, 1821.

In another part of our paper, our readers will And a
letter from a correspondent, expressing his, surprise
that no reward has been offered to apprehend and bring
to punishment the perpetrators of a shocking murder
committed near Whitechapel. The measure which he
recommends is certainly proper, and usual in similar
circumstances; and we observed it adopted the other
day, in the case of the murder at Highgate. Bat
while we join in our correspondent's sentiments as to
the case to which he refers, we confess we feel still
greater surprise that no step of this kind has been
taken, or even proposed, so far as we can learn, re.
specting the murder at Cumberland-gat& The Co-
roner's Jury assembled to enquire into the death of
Fasxas, who was shot there on the 14th of August,
pronounced a verdict of Wilful Harder against a Life
Guardsman, to them, the Jurors, unknown.
Have any of the usual proper measures been pur-
sued to discover and bring to justice this
murderer unknown ? Does 'the executive Go.
versants wait for application from the widow of the
deceased before it issue the proclamation, and give en-
couragement common on such occasions ? Does the
duty of the Coroner and his Jury at an Inquqat, close
as soon as their verdict is rtforded ; or dil4hey in
the case of Faaxcls omit what was necessary in re-
commending the usual iacitemeat for the detection of
the offender? Some great neglect in this Pax there
certainly appears to be. An equal degik.e.ra. su-
pineness, has also taken place on the part of
the public. Na steeling' has been held to wi-
llies., as might base bees expected, the strong
feelings which have been roused on the .occasion;
no subscription attempted to offer a reward for the
apprehension of the delinquent. No meeting held,
no subscription attempted, did we say ? Yes, a
meeting has been held sad a subscription has sow
mound, set, however, fee granting a reward on the
discovery of the murderer, but for the reinsure-
don of the corps to which be belongs, on
account of the suffilings they underwent on the
service of that day on which poor FRANCIS was shot.
and even for the remuneration of the very , man by
whom he was shot, in care this unknown offender
bad by chance received the least contusion in the
course of that obnoxious service. As to the offer of
reward for the detection of a murderer, no desk eau
be entertained of its legality, or expediency ; but with
respect to popular rewards for soldiers, fur ser-:
vice, eves supposing their service involved any point
that is Gooney to the ;Constitstioa or the public
welfare, we cannot but declare our Arm con-

_if of Saturday last. We mention them
chiefly for the purpose of expotling two •ile misrepre-
sentations in the last of the papers referred to, the
New Times. Annexed to the account of their corres-
pondent, there first appears the remark that he " wit-
nessed such an apathy among those persons, respect-
ing whom so much has been said in London," [but
whom he does not specify whether as English or as
Remand " that he was disgusted." The addition
shows bow likely this correspondent was to be affected
with the apathy of the people, and how well the 'tone
of his feelings suited the melancholy
_offices be had
been sent to observe and describe. "He adds," says
the papers before ns • that the whole procession
seemed more like a jaunt of pleasure than a funeral.'"
If this be the genuine expression of the Reporter's
miad on the occasion, who would envy him its
possession ? •

The•report-circulated yesterday of a confirmation
of the pacific intelligence received last week, does sot
turn out to be so well founded as pretended. As ex-
piss, indeed, arrived, bringing letters from Con-
stantinople to the 7th of August, but thatch of so late
a date, their coateate are litt:e more than a repetition
of the former statements vritbout any additional circum-
stances of corroboration. In these accounts it is again
asserted that the answer of the Porte was favourable,
but that the delivery of it baring been delayed till
after the time appointed by Baron Strogonofl's in-
structions, it had been forwarded direct to St. Peters-
burgh. The Baron, ever since his embarkation, bad
bee■ detained by strong northerly winds, from pro-
ceeding to Odessa, as he proposed. This detention
may, undoubtedly, be owing to nothing but natural
causes; yet some suspicion of a" political wind" is ex-
cited by the mode of reasoning employed on the occasion.
The settled appearance of the weather, it is said, giving
no indication of a speedy change, it was possible the
reply of the Emperor Alexander might arrive before
he would be able to sail; as two Tartars bad been de-
spatched by the Porte, by different routes, to convey
the answer in duplicate to St. Petersburgh, Immedi-
ately on Baron Strogonoff's refusal to accept it. What
strengthens the suspicion that the cause of the Baron's
detention is of a political kind, is an assertion in the
Preach papers that the refusal of the Baron to receive
the answer of the Porte was, aot so much on account
of its not having been presented in time, as because
" the communications were of such a Wore as would

tend to lengthen out the negotiations and to give
birth to the discussion of counter propositions of
which Russia could not admit." if this state-
ment be correct, it is clear that the Russian Court
will start the same objection as her Ambassador, and
that no advantage will result to the Porte from having
sent her answer direct to St. Petersburgb. In the
mean time, it appears, that not the slightest comma-
Asication had taken place between the Porte and
Steogonoff since the latter withdrew from the capital.
.f
—Though it is still affirmed, in the accounts to which
op have referred, that the Divan had sanded to the
Russian terms, without the slightest deviation, it is
asserted that these terms had been much misrepreseated
ia the former accounts from Constantinople, aid that
they were by no means of so harsh a nature to the
feelings of the Turks as they were at first described.
They are understood. however, to have been drawn up
in a very haughty tome, and to have been communi-
cated in a similar style; and these eircusastasees, it
is said, are noticed, though in a conciliatory manner,
by the Porte in their answer.
The Greeks had made an attack upon the Turkish
deet, in the Island of Stanolsio, without elect. The re-
ports of their success, which turned out to be astounded,
had girtm the merchants of Smyrna reason to fear
that the narks there would have been excited to fresh
excesses on the occasion. Letters from the Raglisb
bosses in that place complain of the want of as adequate
British naval force. aWe have," says one of theta,
" but a eines sloop of seer here, exposed as we are to
the fury of a people, who are only to be restrained, by
force, or by the fear of speedy retribution, from any ex:
ceases they may commit ; Whilst France has jourtent
ships of war, and Austria air, to watch over the safety
sad lives of their subjects. Indeed, to these ships we
are indebted for the safety we enjoy; as the commanders
consider themselves called upon to protect all Euro-
peans, whether of their own country or not."—The most
interesting iatelligeace respecting the Greeks. is the
statement in the French assp of the rising of the ser-
viaco their favour. Should this report be confirmed
