No ; when the friend of the people perished , the French goTernment was silent ; bnt when differ-• noes arose between the temporal Prinoe—for such , I maintain , the Pepe mast be considered in this caw , and his people , at once it sends out aid to tho former against the Utter . But there is another point « f a Tery important nature , to which I desire to call the attention of the Assembly . Has the head of the Executive aright to thus send forth troops without
consulting the Assembly ? Can he thus engage the country on his own . responribility f I do not think so .

' The fact of the Pope having , taken the Naples road rather than the more obvious one to Civifca

In 1821 these new forces ware ready to take the . field . One regiment was lent southward and another ' against the rebelllouB 17 ahabse « , whole last attampt was completely defeated by the stoa dy gBllantey and discipline of the Egyptian Infantry . In the following year , at tho entreaty of tha Sultan , 17 , 000 trpopi , nnder the c » m . . mand . 6 f Ibrahim , were sent agslnst ' the Greeks , whbm h » defeated ' In tbreVgeneral abtlOBi to 6 k Old and New Navsrlno , ' and marched victoriously to the very gates * of Hauplta , ' He thence orosted to Roumella and took MtsBolbnghi , she a siege of three months , and great Iobb of life , accompanied by Btar ' UiBg deeds of biraviry and
slaughter . Greece thus again subjagated , the Egyp > tiai army was on the point •( being despatched to some other part of the seat of war , when ' the triple alliance interfered , and the battle of Navarlno , in 1828 , sent Ibrahim , ihora . of hticonqaeit « , baok to Egypt ; Tbe war in SjriVbroke out ioob aft « r through a quarrel betwsin Mehemct and the Paoha si Saida , and the farmer threatened unless justice was done him to resort to arms , to march apon Acre , and chastise Abdullah , The Snltan » ppoared to coinolde with hli views , and sent outi ' tha Capnda ' nPioha with a fl" « t . s . ? pgrently to . aot In concert with blm . But when tha various ' measures
for sicurlBg . the object of the campaign were arranged , and th « fleet had already arrived at Rhodes , the Sultan stt the Paoha at defianci , and rsonlled his flaet . Im . niediatsly upon this the Pacha pdthed forward sll . ne * besiary preparations for the eip ' ed ' . tlon ; and to the dlsmay . ofUahmoud , Ibrahim'had already'dtiembarked In Syria , beforethe Imperial messenger , 'despatched from Constantinople wltt orders to « UBpcmd * 6 ptralloni , could arrive at Alt xsndrla .

' The ambaiiador ritnrhed and advliei Mahmoud to consider his ' true poiltlon , and make peace . The nd . vice was rejaotfld and the counsellor' punished !

' So sooner had he collected hla foroos and left Kintubla , than the Russian troopa landed and aacamp ' ed between Win and the'Bqipnorus , which so alarmed the Sultan , who , feared his illy eveu nora than he did hlB opea enemy , that he ' at length ' concluded a treaty , yielding the whole of Syria to ' tbe Pacha ; and granting an amnesty to all its inhabitant .

The Potato Disease . —Autumn Plantins . ~ Little new ! light has hitherto been thrown on the cause of the blight or rot , ' except that it is pretty generally believed to be owing immediately to atmospheric influence . In which way this has acted , and how it may he prevented , neither , experience nor ttie researches of science have yet shown . . It seems almost waolly out of the reach' of human power . Ifext , therefore , to ' - ' tlie advice - strenuously renewed , to substitute bats ' , parsnip ' s , carrots , beet , and turnips . ( the Swedish is excellent at table ) , little can be done except to attend to the mode ^ of cultivation . The best rules are , to plant in the autumn , ar soon as the year ' s / tubers are out of the ground j
to choose a'light sandy soil instead . of . a clayey one ; ah ' d not to manure too heavily , and . to let the earth lie lightly , over ' the plkntecl seed ; by attjmeans select the largest potatoes foi / seed : When not wanted for seed , potatoes " should , be kept in _ the ground during ; the autumn ; and when taken up and stored , place a layer of dry sand between each , layer of potatoes . > Mr Johnson , who ha 3 so sirohgly recoinmended autumn planting for potatoes , ' says , in arecfent' communicatioh to the Gardener s Chronicle , 4 i ' vflil atafe only farther , tbat my . autumn planted crop , " flud those planted .

It was a diamond ring , and I was-in tht habit of wearing it when I was going to a party , which I was gw " Dg ; to do that evening .. " The prisoner asked me to let her look at the ring , and I tpbkitoff j L ] t t 0 her » 8 Bd 8 ne P ^ , if % "her finder , and asked me what I had . got in another , casket that was lying en the . desk . I then took another ring from that casket and handed it also to the prisoner . Thai rm ^ waflso small in the gold part that 1 could no * get it over theJrst joint of my little finger ; I fold heritwaBthe late Lady Hare ' s ring , and the pri . sbner remarked that she must have had' a verf small finger . I was going away to the Poat
Officeanotne pniener said 'Iwill keep these rings . ' I told' , her I set a high value upon them ; and re . queBted her ; to return them ; to which she " replied , No ; I will keep them . ' I pressed . her- to giva them back to toe , ; and she repeatedly ' refused , and said she would keep them , but assigned no reason for doing so , and I went oat , leaivingtha p gs in her po «» s » ioD , the prisoner ' s intended husband accompanying me to the Post Office , and ! on to ihe . party which I was to attend . I got : home about twelve o ' clock at . night , and aawr the pri * sonerbutldid not say anythiny more to Her about the rings on that ocoasion , or at any time before ths prisoner , and her mother left en the Thursday . I was engaged in the interval by having a large party .
ami visitors who came to xaj house , , and I did not ; think of the rings until they had left the house . Tho prisoner was married to the baron on the lsi of May * and I was invited to the wedding , and drove to theie honaein Thayer Street . They wereat dinner whea I arrived and joined the party . During the dinner the prisoner left the table ,. and as she was going out © £ theroom i I asked her to brine down , my rings . I spoke in a low tone of voice , and she made no anBwer » bnt went up stair * , sudwaa absent abontfiveininutea When she came down ; ? he said to me , * What did yon « ay * ' I said , Bring down my rings . ' She replied , 'I have notgot , tham . '' . I then appealed to tha countessber mother , sod a Bcoffler-words 1 meanensued . and I left the house . We had high words about tha
rings before I left ; After leaving the housa Iwentito a relation ot mine , named Pleay ' , and ha accompanied me to the prisoner ' s houBeon the following morning . I remained in the street while he went in , and when he came out he made a commimioatioH tome , Late the same evening I myself went to the prisoners honse , accompanied by . Sir ^ 'lexandee Dowwe . and Mr M'Kinnon , and . I saw theprijonee her mother , and the baron . I agairi demanded tha ripgB , aad the mother , 1 think , said , they had not gofi them , and toe Baron came towards me to'forca ma out of the room . 1 immediately went to the polica court at Marylebone , but no magistrate being present , I was unable to make a complaint . I went to tha hause in Thayer Street , on the following Monday , and ascertained that the prisoner and her mother and husband had left . Enelahd for the continent : In Julv
following I again met the prisoner and her husband at Boulogne , aad I had a commuBicatien ' with tho prefeot of p » lioe , apon . ihe aubjeot of tho , rings . I heard Bothingmoro of my property unUl I received some information from a sergeant of pelics gn the 8 th November , at my residence in Bath . ' I immediately came up to London ,. and Baw the police ' sergfant , and gave him a desqriptipn ^ f the rings ,, and topk the necessaiy steps to have the prisoner taken into custody , and was present . when she was arrested , and her mother who was with her said that I was road , and the polioaman wag my keeper . ( A laugh ) Tha prisoner , herself , implored me to Jet her go , and said ' Pray , Sir . John , iorgive rue ; do let me go . ' Tha priiener was subsequently taken , before the magistrate , and after two or three examinations ; was corn * mined , ior trial . I consider my rioga were worth £ 40
a piece . ....... Oross-txamlned : I retired frem . busineBS about tea years ago . I believe I first became acquainted with tha prisoner ' s mother , in 1815 , when she lived in Brnna . wick Terrace .. I met the . prisoner and herjnother at Boulogne in 1846 . I went to Boulogne in 1815 . Mr Cockbnrn ; That was rather an awkward yem to go to Boulogne in . ( A . laugh . ) , Cross-examination continued :. I continued in France for som » time , apd I met them again in Paris . They invited me to call and see them , and I dined at the same boarding-house five or six times . ' I did not do so for the sake of the ladies' society , but fer tha sake of the company . I lent thern my carriage once or twice , I don't know that I recommended a partilar
cusort of wine to the young lady for £ » r complaint . I was myself recommended to drink a . particular serfi of wine , and I may have advised the prisoner to drink some of the same sort of wine . I gave up my apart * ments to the prisoner and her mother , and went to live at the top of the house myself . I did not express any regret when the prisoner and her mother left Paris , and I cannot say whether I did not beg them both at Boulogne on the following morning . I started off for Boulogus the same night the priioner and lies mother went away , and travelled all night , but 1 do aot recolUbk tfcat the ladies expressed . their astonish * ment at seeing me . I do not recollect telling a gentleman at BonloRne I bad been to see two ladies off by ¦ thoBteamer , orthathereplied , 'What ! ' is that tho
young lady you are sosweet upon ?' . ( A laugh . ) While we weie . at Paris , before this , I ^ nd the prisaner ' a mother gave a ball , but I don't think I paid half tha expenses . I sent in a , dozen of wine . ( A laugh . ) Mr Cockburn ; What , ofthe . precious wipe you wero talking about ? ( A laugh . ) . Withera ; Yes . —Was that aU your contribution to the entertainment ? No ; I eent in Borae things from the canfectioners . — What , some tarts , I suppose ? Yes , Borne things of thataort .: ( Renewed laughter . ) I remamber meeting a lady and gentleman named Peniungton at the prisoner ' s house , and I was invited to a ball at theie houie . Idanoe very frequently . ( Laughter . ) lam about sixty years old . —Are you sure it is cot sixty * five t No , I am not sixty-fiva . —Not sixty-two—are
you sure ? .. Well , for the sake af Baying something , I will ( ay lam sixty . four . ( Raneved laughter . ) CroN-examination contiaued : I wqold not sit down to breaxiast until the > young lady . came dewn . That iithe custom in my . house . I cannot reoolleot whether I aver placed a bouquet of flowers , and a eopyvof verMB on tho young lady ' * pl ? te . I ma ; have done so but I really oannot reoolleot . I think it is very Hkely : that I placed flowers on > $ r plate , and I ' iroo ^ t swear I did not place Teraeeoa her pJate also .

Tha Baron St Matt was present on the 2 Cjh of April , wh » n the traojaotion with regard to the rings took place , but 1 did not bc » the prisoner plaee the rings in his hand , and I distinctly recol ^ ct that he neves returnedthem to me .
