'pie American Commodore, in the Franklin, is gone 'adiz for a few days, perhaps he may have some g to stay iLspeetingtheFlorida Treaty, which has bLvo ratified. This circumstance has certainly n rise to strange rumours. The Marquis (and chimiess too, who is an American Lady) de limo be.mt bani;ited to a miserable village in Old Cas- Th e re asons assigned for this singular measure various. Some say, because he was. greatly in air of the Florida Treaty and the Americans. It eel appears, he was a great landholder in the Flo gas, c onsequently interested in the success of the taty, as he would then be able to : sell his lands to tantage. Others say, that as Minister of State, he given instructions on this subject to Mr. Oms, h his Master knew ncitlung about. For all this, ire say, there are some grounds ; but the fact Is, 'Jo was not liked by FERDINAND'S servile party, lad married an American, the daughter of a ;trey. )us Republican, and is himself well read In Tole RCUSSEAV, and VOLTAIRE. He was not subs i -nt enough to the Friars and Inquisition party ; od, he has lived out of Spain all his life time, to liberal for the race of men employed by g lEEDINAND. C:-..atercr may he the additional reasons, it is con iitly believed the Treaty which was to cede the ridas to the United States will not be ratified, or cert linty not tilt the very last moment allowed the KING'S acceptance. It is, moreover, posi. ly stated, that the British :Minister, in Madrid, entered his solemn protest, on behalf of his Go. , amen; to prevent the said cession of the Floridas the United States, saying, that if they are ceded,' ;land will immediately proceed to acknowledge indee;endence of the South American States; .they urging, that if Spain does yield to the pre lions of the United States, in this instance, she tv be pressed soon afterwards to give up Mexico the same grasping ambition. Such are the ac ints we have here. and they came from a very good patter, and in a very straight line.. As the term for the exchange of the ratikatioq op pies in a few days, we shall soon learn the result, and will be known here sooner than any where else, :onsequence of the presence of the American aqua or., It wirs I e a curious circumstance, if these ships, rich have been overawing the Barbary States, should vLe used to punish the Spaniards.

TILE• REGENTS FANCY BALL. The letropolis of England was never known to be fuller of company, sot even when the Sovereigns honoured it with their p:esence, than at the present time; yet notwithstanding the crowded state of the Town, the business of the retail traders was tot so brisk as might have been exrected. Under these cir cumstances, the PRINCE RE;;ENT, with a due regard to the trading and manitiacturiny part of the com munity, as well as for the great gratification of the higlter orders, determined to give a Grand Ball upon an extended scale ; and that it might give as great a spur as possible to commerce, as well as novelty and attraction to the nobility and persons cf distinction, on his Royal Highness's cords of invitation, he com manded that the Ladies should appear infancy dresses or new ones, &c. a similar command was issued to the Gentlemen, with the addition of full dress or uni forms as fincy dresses. The Dress-makers have been called upon, in con junction with the Ladies, to exercise their invention and taste to produce effect, in wiich great numbers most happily succeeded; as well as the Tailors with the Gentlemen, in producing the costumes of other countries, consisting of Spanish, German, French, Turkish, ladians, Swedish. Some had Getman head dresses; one of them had long curious beautiful sa lter pins in various forms, and fastened to the hair on the back of the head, having theappearance of a fan. there were a number of college caps, or trencher ' taps, as they are commonly called. The Duchesses( LEEDS wore a cap after the manner of the cavalry, With a bag hanging from the top. Poppy-coloured . satin was the most prevailing, and also a consider able quantity of biue. There were a great number of fancy dresses of white lace over white satin, &c They were literally fancy, and had considerable me rit in their invention, not being in any particular. country or costume; they were principally short robes of the above materials, of various colours, very richly trimmed with gold and silver, and were gene rally much shorter than the petticoats. There were a number of splendid dresses of gold and silver lama and tissue. A great number of Spanish hats were worn with plumes of white feathers, diamonds, and other jewels. Many of the veils were very long, sus pended from the top of the head, and formed u taste ful drapery to the general dress. 1 The whole of the suite of rooms were opened for ithe occasion, including the Regent's Closet. The room set apart for dancing was the second from the Grand Hall, the floor of which was most taireiiilly decorated by an eminent Artist. One of the windows I lwas taken out for the purpose of fitting up a tempo rary orchestra for the amusements of the evening, in which was stationed a very numerous and excellently selected Band of first-rate performers. The Quad rilles were called by Mr. MOYART, and led by Mr. PAINE, of Almack's—the Country Dances, by Mr. Gow. The•whole of the suite of rooms were bril liantly illuminated, and decorated with growing plants, exotics, &c. At eight o'clock in the evening, the Porters, in their State liveries, with their long staffs and splen did scarfs, were at their posts in the lodges where:the , carriages entered. The side-doors were opened for chairs, and Livery Servants were stationed there to conduct them. The Marshalmen, the Gentlemen and Under-Porters were also in attendance. Four additional lamps were lighted on the outside of the grand entrance. The whole of the Court-yard and Outbuildings had additional lamps. On each side of the Grand Hall were evergreens, -plants, &c, brougtit from the Royal Gardens.

In this suite of apartments, moms were set apart for refreshments and supper. The principal dining-room, and the temporary room in the garden (which was used for refreshment at the late Juvenile Ball), were set apart for supper. Re freshments were also served from the Octagon-room and Council Chamber in the State Rooms. A Quard of Honour marched into the Court yard at nine o'clock, preceded by the Band of the Sd Re giment of Foot Guards, is their State uniforms. A detachment of the Life Guards arrived about the same time in Pall-mall, atul halted opposite Carlton House, to assist the Police, of which there were Townsend, Sayers, and a numerous assemblage, who preserved the greatest order and tranquillity. The Pages and other Gentlemen of the Royal Establish ment appeared in their State uniforms in the Grand Hall and other apartments of Carlton House, to re ceive the distinguished company. 'The company con tinued to arrive till twelve o'clock, in the greatest order and regularity. • The PRINCE REGENT was in most excellent health, and received his distinguished guests with his usual affability and condescension.

Tittfollowing is an Officiiii Ciunalar: DoWiling-street, London, 1919. I have to acquaint you iu reply to your letter of the -, that We following are the conditions under Which it is proposed to give encouragement to emigration tattle Cape of Good Hope. - aufferings to which many individuals have been exposed, who have emigrated to his Majesty's foreign possessions, uncon nected and unprovided with any capital, or even the means of support, having been vety afflicting to themselves, and equally burdensome to the- Colonies to which they have proceeded, the Government have determined to confine tlie application of the money recently voted by Address in the House of Commons, to those persons who, possessing the means, will engage to carry out, at the least, tell able-bodied individuals above. 19 years of age, with or without families, the Governmpnt always reserving to itself the right of selecting from the several otTers made to i them those which may prove, upon examination, t? be most eligible. In order to give ionise security to the Government, that the persons undertakingin make these establishments have ibe means lof doing so, every person engaging to take out the abovemen doned number of persons or families shill deposit at the rate of £lO (to be repaid idt hereinafter mentioned) fur every fare,i,ly so, taken out, provided that the fatuity does not consist of more than one man, one woman, and two children under 14 years of age. AU children above the numiter of two will be paid for, in addi tion to the deposit abovemenganetl, in the proportim of £5 for every two children under 11 years of age, and ,C. 5 for every per son between the ages of 14 and 1 3. In consideration of this deposit, a passage shall be provided at the expease of Government for the settlers, who shall Aso be s.,:tualled from the time of their embarkation until the time of their landing in the Colony. A grant of land, under the conditions hereafter specified, shall be made to him at the rate of 100 acres for every such person or family whom he so takes out ; one-third of the sum advanced to Government on the outset shall he repaid on landing, when the victualling at the expense of Government shall cease. A fulther proportion of one-third shall be repaid. as soon as it shall be cer tified to the Governor of the Colony that the settlers under the direc.lon of the person taking them out are actually located upon the land assigned to them ; and the remainder at the expiration of three months from the date of their location. If any parishes to which there may be a redundancy of popu lation shall unite in selecting an intelligent individual to proceed to the Cape, w!th settlers under his direction, not less in number and of the description above-mentioned, and shall advance money in the proportion above-mentioned, the Government will grant land to such an individual at the rate of 100 acres for every head of a family, leaving the parish at liberty to make such con ditions with the individual, or the settlers, as may be calculated to prevent the parish becoming again chargeable with the mainte nance a such settlers, in the event of their return to this country, But no offers of this kind will be accepted, unless it shall be clear that the persons proposing to become settlers shall have dis tinctly given their consent, and the bead of each family le not in firm or incapable of work. It is further proposed. that in any case in which one hundred families proceed together, and apply for leave to carry out with them a Minister of their own persuasion, Government will, upon their being actually located, assign a salary to the Minister whom they may have selected to accompany them, if he shall be approved by the Secretary of State. The lands will be granted at a quit rent to be fixed, which rent, howevec, will be remitted for the first 10 years ; and at the expiration of three years, (during which the party and a number of families, in the proportion of 'one for every hundred acres, rn::st have resided on the estate,) the land shall be measured at the expense of Government, and the bolder shall obtain, without fee, his title theretoi on a perpetual quit rent, not exceeding its any case 4 sterling fur every 100 acres; subject, howeiter, to this claese beyond the usual reservations•—that the land shall become forfeited to Government, in case the • party shall aban don the estate, or nut bring it into cultivation within a given umber of years.—f am, your most obedient humble servant. • The wsual reservations are the rights of the Crown so mines of precious stones, of gold and silver, and to rnake such roads as m 4 be netesaary fur the convenience of the Colony. A decision important to families was made, on Thursday last, in the Court of Conscience, in Ful wood's lients.—A Gentleman agreed with a domestic servant for a month's warning or a month's wages, but was obliged, by the servant's grossness of beha viouf,. to dismiss him with only three days notice, of fering to pay him to the day of his dismissal. The servant obtained by the extraordinary judgment of the Court, wages for a month beyond the day ofgiv ing warning. The master very properly pleaded that the servant's agitement to complete a month's ser vice or forfeit a month's wages, necessarily implied a moderation and decency of behaviour, and in ceasing to be respectful, he ceased to fulfil one im- Chity ponstttuting servitude, and, conse r quentlt, violated his contract. It was further argued, that any other construction of such agreements would render such covenants de nature absurd and unjust,. and which would destroy all reciprocity of obligat:on if the servant wished to be relieved from his covenant, he has only to behave ill to that degree which renders it 'impossible to retain him in the family, and he would thus not only obtain his 'release, but would receive a month's wages as a bcur.ty or reward for such ill behaviour. Such an absurd construction of these agreements, enables ser vants to obtain by misconduct one month's wages for a few days service, . and being a direct encourage ment to bad morals, is, therefore, not only contrary to law and equity, but an agreement itself which is, de natura contra bonos mores is held to be illegal and void. It was lastly pleaded, that the case had been decided by the Chief Justice in the cause Saunders versus Gaulty, h the sittings after the present Term: The Court found for the plaintiff. The 'Act 23 Geri., 11. cap. 33, declares the decisions of these Courts to • final ; but a body of freeholders have resolved to awn themselves of a section of that Act, which ena bles them to apply to the Chancellor for the 'remedy , of sack froccecrings. LAW INTELLIGENCE. CONSIBT4RY COURT, JULY 16. PROCTOR AOA IN..!T PROCTOR. Sir WILLIAM Scorr gave his judgment on this cause to-day. The pasties (he ol3ervecl) to this suit were husband and wife, and were married in Sep tember, 1810. The marriage was proved in else usual firm, as well as their subsequent cohebitaticn, at Thorley, in liertfordshises end at Mardoas-hall, in the same County, the seat'of Mr. Proctor, and its other places ; in ail of which they mutually recoge nixed each other as husband and wife, and were so received :ind accounted by their friends and acquain tances. There appeared to have been no issue of this marriage, in consequence of the repeated mis carriages of Mrs. Proctor. In the month of August, 1814, Mr. Proctor carriee his lady to the Continent, he being attended by a valet, named Charles Bacil lery, and she by her servant Dorothy Marks • 'After visiting in succes,inn Paris, Florence, and Rome, they arrived at Naples on the 10th of November, where they remained till the 23d of March. 1815 ; and here they became acquainted with Temple French, Esq. But on the 28th. of March they ar rived again at Rome, and there they lived in a house situated on the Corso. In Rome they were intro , duced to Charles Standish, Esq. an English Gentle man of large fortune, between whom and Mrs. Proc tor an adaterous intercourse took place, which was ' • known to the servants of this, family, but which was unknown to the husband till the month of February, 1816; 'when he first received notice of her infidelity: in consequence of which he brought an action at common law against Mr. Standish (in the Court of King's Bench), and recovered, in May, 1817, £5OO, damages. It appeared that while they resided in Rome, it was the custom of Mr. Proctor not to retire, for the night, till his lady sent her servant to inform him that else was in bed; and that it was also his habit to rise early in the morning, and go imme diately into his dressing-room. By the connivance pf Dorothy Marks, Mr. Standish was admitted, att lurch times, into the bed-room, where those scenes of Infidelity took place between him and Mrs. Proctor, which were the subjects of the present suit. But it was further proved in, evidence, that on many occa sions (while tl,e parties so lived in Rome) it occurred, that when Mr. and Mrs. Proctor were sitting toge ther in the drawing-room, Mrs. Proctor was often.. called out of the apartment, leaving her husband re maining there, by Marks, who was accustomed to say that she was wanted by her shoemaker or by the milliner, but which pretences were made use of in order to permit Mrs. Proctor's adjourning to Marks's room, where the servant, having admitted him into the house, used to secrete Mr. Standish, and where the illicit intercourse of the parties was charged to have been frequently repeated. In one instance, after Mr. Standish had quitted the house, Marks found his watch upon the. table in het room, and carried it to Mrs. Proctor, who appeared much eon fused, and Mal ks took that opportunity of endea vouring to persuade her mistress to break off her adulterous connection with him ; hut she replied only, by protesting her vehement affection for him. Immediately uron the circumstances coming to the ears of Mr. Ptectoe, which happened by .4titiedish'e publicly mentioning his familiar intimacy. with Mrs. Proctor, the former of those gentlemen adopted the., legal steps already noticed, It was in the same capi tal that Mr. French visited them; and id Consequence of their former seciety at Naples, proffered hiscora paey to them on their intended journey, whiek.offee was accepted. They travelled from Rome to Padua,. Florence, Bologna, and Vienna; and afterwards arc( Milan, Schauffhausea, Frankfort, and finally tattle's ! • sels. During this tour an adulterous intercourse apse' pears to have been fern,ed between the same lady angle M. French, and carried nu, on ids part, with great adroitness and seciecy. It was his custom always to travel on before them to the various stages, in order to. inspect and hire the rooms at the differen t i nns or ' hotels at which they were to stop, taking care that his own bed room should, if possible, adjoin theirs.— Having accomplished this point, his next care west° bore holes with a gimlet through the partition, by which means he was enabled to ascertain when Mr. Proctor went out of his room, and avail himself of these opportunities to go in. At Padua, he was ob served coming out one day of Mrs. Proctor's bed chamber, when her husband was not in the house.— At Schaffhausen Mr. French's valet, one Lanterre, a Frenchman, was brushing his master's coat, when .a note fell out of the pocket, which he, not being able.. to read English, carried to Marks. It was directedk; to French in Mrs. Proctor's hand-writing, and reale thus —e My dear love, for Gon's sake be more care-• ful; for Marks, who has just left me, has noticed the holes in the door." At Frankfort Mr. Proctor be came very ill, and as he was sitting alone, his valet Bacillery first suggested to him, one evening, theens pscrous conduct ot his wife and, French : he was els ceedingly surprised at the intelligence, but could ob tain vet positive evidence, amounting to proof of the • adultery. He determined, however, to part with hiss, travelling companion, and on getting to Brush neer quested Mr. French would.deiist from accompanyintt them : some disagreement ensued, and that Gentlest: man quitted theM. A private and fraudulent corer respondence was, however, continued to be carried on between him and Mrs. Proctor, after she, with her husband, had returned to England, through. then kind offices of a Mdme. Detree, a millener at Bensee sels, by whom Mr. French's letters were forwarded to Mrs. ProstOr, 'under the assumed name of Madman Woodforte, and addressed to be left till called for, et - the Saracen's Head, at Ware. The husband, having bis suspicions awakened, and being determined to. ascertain whether they were well-grounded, obtained possession of one of these packets, the contents of which revealed the whole history of this latter con nexion of his wife's. They had arrived in Busload in August 1815, and went to live at Gordop's Hotel, Lions v.-hence they removed shortly after.. • But while they continued ihere, Mr. French returned from Pa ris, and took up his residence at Long's Hotel, and immediately letters and ' , resents were interchanged in profusion between that Gentleman and Mrs. Proc tor ; for whom he ordered some rings, ornamented with a variety ot significant devices, at Gray's, in Bond-street. These, she observed to her husband, she had received from a female trier. e. Having at : length got back to Mau - docks, she was asked at dine ncr one day, by the Rev. Mr. P.octor, tae father cf her husband, whether she had Any command fur the 4l' i !ri ~.i ..I 4 II 1 i , .1 I , , t , . R 4 ,1: 1 11 i 0 1 , 1 ; ; 1 1 1 1 , , 1 , i 11 1 i , 1
