London, in which a Mrs. Scott and her husband were plaintiffs, and a newspaper reporter the defendant, and in which the complaint was grounded on a publication of certain affidavits which went to shew that she had commated perjury in her subsequent testimony, the privileges of the reporter were discussed at length. Lord chief justice Best presided, and, in summing up, took occasion to say, on the subject of reporting trials, that "it was most useful and proper to publish proceedings of causes in the high courts of Westminster, when finally concluded, as such publications were calculated to distribute most useful, interesting and valuable information throughout the country. The public were entitled to such information, even although at the expense of private character, unless the detail was calculated to shock public decency, or to injure the morals of the country.'

How flourishing then would she become with peace and liberty, and what resources would she afford to commerce and industry. At the beginning of 1825, the population of the 27 eparchies of the peninsula of the Morea was 700,000 souls: one twelfth of the territory belongs to the state, and consists of forests, olive plantations, salt pits, fisheries, public baths, country houses, and gardens. The revenue of the Morea, at the same period, exclusive of the domains of the state, amounted to five millions of francs. Northern Greece, divided into 26 eparchies, contained in 1825, a population of 800,000 souls. The disasters of war have so completely overwhelmed this part of Greece that the revenue has only amounted to three millions and a half of francs. The archipelago and the rest of Greece united, contain a population of 300,000 souls, who paid to the "different sizes.

LIBERIA. OFFICE OF THE COLONIZATION SOCIETY, Washington, September 1st, 1827. The despatches just received at this office from Mr. Ashman, colonial agent at Liberia, up to the 18th of June, exhibit a detailed and most animating account of the progress of the colony, and such evidences of its promise and utility as even its warmest friends would not have ventured to predict. History affords no instance, we believe, of a colony, enjoying at so early a period of its existence, greater prosperity. From the numerous documents transmitted by Mr. Ashmun, we can at present only give a few extracts, having reference to the geinterests of the colony, omitting whatever is of subordinate importance. From Paris papers, up to the 2d August, inclusive, fater intelligence is received from Odessa and Corfu. I was no longer doubted that the protocol of the conteren-neral ces at St. Petersburg, reduced into the form of a treaty, would be presented to the porte as an ultimatum, with a preremptory condition of thirty days for its acceptance. Within two months from the date, (July 15th), it was confidently anticipated that the affairs of the East would take a decisive turn. "The passengers by the Doris, ninety-three in number, were landed, after a pleasant, but somewhat protracted passage of forty-five days. All were, soon after their arrival, slightly affected by the climate, which proved fatal only to two small children." "The people from On the 25th June, lord Cochrane had an action off Can- Baltimore, (says Mr. Ashmun), were the first, and gedia with the Egyptian squadron of 120 sail, which he dis-nerally the greatest, (I might almost say the only), sufpersed after a cannonade of 48 hours, and sunk some of ferers. The Virginians followed next in the order of the vessels.

The porte has issued a manifesto, see page 45, containing an exposition of what it conceives its rights, and concludes by declaring that from religious, political, administrative, and national considerations, it cannot countenance the proposition brought forward. BUENOS AYRES AND BRAZIL. On the 7th March, a Brazilian squadron, consisting of four vessels of war, manned with 654 men, attacked the small establishment of Patagonas, but were repelled with the loss of three of their vessels captured and the fourth got aground and went to pieces, and about 40 of her crew perished. Of the vessels captured, one mounted twenty guns, and the others three guns each. COLOMBIA. General Santander, vice president of Colombia, has published a pamphlet of fifty pages, vindicating his political conduct, from the first emancipation of Venezuela, to the date of his manifesto. He labors to show that he has always been faithful to the cause of independence, and to the constitution; and that he has been a friend of Bolivar, and anxious to see him still, legally, at the head of affairs. MEXICO. The Louisiana Advertiser contains the following extracts, translated from a file of Mexican papers to the 26th July. salutary effort of nature to accommodate the physical system of its subjects, by a safe and gentle attenuation to the new influences of a tropical climate. The most protracted than five days; three days is perhaps the average term of case of illness in the whole number, has not lasted longer the in-doors confinement of such as are pronounced sick, and about one-third part have not been confined at all." Of the attentions experienced by the emigrants from the officers, particularly from William P. Matthews, esq. supercargo, Mr. Ashmun speaks in the highest terms, representing them as being of the most minute and judicious kind, and indeed as all which the "most amiable humanity and benevolence could prompt. The factory at Young Sesters, which was suspended for a short season in consequence of a war between two of the native chiefs, has resumed its operations. "All the public and private property which had been confided to Freeman's protection during the absence of the factor, was scrupulously respected and preserved amid all the alarm and disorder of the war. Three of the colonists are now permanently fixed at this factory, engaged in trade and making improvements. The St. John's' establishment continues prosperous. A large plantation has been connected with the factory of the island, and the way is perfectly prepared for the introduction of a little colony of twenty to thirty families to |
