, T rbal amgAJments7 the Rouse resumed, and the Rtort was or dered to be received to-morrow. COUNTY COURTS. land ALTHORP moved the third reading of the C oun ty Courts Bill. Mr. SCA RLETT thought the Noble Lord deserved thethanks of the country, for the pains he had taken with t h e all. Still he thought the Bill was liable to strong objections, and it would have been enough to have ex. tended t he jurisdiction of the County Courts to debts of tl.e a mount of £5. The main objettion was, that this ('Curt was do be a Court of Conscience, as the pat ties vie to be examined on oath ; that made the difference f e tween a Court of Conscience and Common Law. He t ;, o „ight such a practice held out a strong temptation to perjury. The common law of England prevented a party f ro m giving evidence on oath, and that was the foundation of the whole law of evidences. The Bill wen t to introduce twenty new Jurisdictions and twenty new Judges. Should the Bill pass, and twenty new Judges be appointed with a salary of £BOO each, the Bill would be perpetual. He objected to the Bill also f ro m the additional patronage it vested in the Crown. already quite sufficient for the independence of the Bar, He should feel it his duty to take the sense of the House upon the Bill passing into a law. He thought the pa tronage should be vested in the Sheriff, who might also hare the tight to appoint an assessor. The Honourable Member concluded by moving that the Bill be read a third time that day six months. Mr. SYKES was ready to agree in many of the ob jections made to this Bill by his Hon. and Learned friend, especially to the extraordinary patronage which it was proposed to give to the Crown. Still when he considered the evils of the present system; when he considered that a man had better give up a debt of 251. o r SOL than run the risk of incurring the expense ne cessary to recover it; when he considered the number of Petitions. which had been presented on the subject from all parts of the country, he could not give his s upport to the Amendment now proposed by his Ho nourable Friend. Mr. J. WILLIAMS strongly objected to the appoint ment of the Assessors being vested in the Crown ; such a measure was calculated to destroy, to a great extent, the independence of the Bar. He considered this so great an objection to the Bill that he should support the Amendment.—Mr. R. SMITH supported the Bill. . . Lord ALTHORP did not consider the appointment of the Assessors as giving any material increase of in: fluence to the Crown over the Bar. As for the evils of the present system they were such as called imperatively for revision. He would stare one instance of many which had come to his knowledge recently; a poor wo man in Worcestershire had a debt of 41. due to her; she employed a Solicitor to recover it for her. He ac cordingly commenced proceedings against the debtor and obtained a verdict for the creditor. Soon after he deliveted his bill of costs to the woman; it amounted to 901. ss. The poor woman was unable to pay this sum, and was in July last arrested for the amount of the bill, and was still in prison. Was it not imperative on the Legislature to put an end to such a system as this? The Amendment of Mr. Scaaturr was then put and negatived without a division, and the Bill read a third time. Several addi. tioual clauses were proposed, amongst them Colonel Pasties pro posed a clause for giving compensation to the Town Clerk of Cam. bridge. Upon this clause the gallery was cleared for a division. }or the Clause, 31—Against it, 112.—Majority against it, 81. On the Compensation Clause being brought up, Lord ALTHORP proposed as an amendment, to leave out a number of the names inserted. He thought if compensation was gives at all, it should he given upon future enquiry and investigation. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL defended the clause. In its present state all the Assessors, whose names he had introduced, held freehold offices rated to the land-tax, having votes ut elections, Ind some of them h aving given as much as £lO,OOO for their offices. These persons were, he contended, entitled to compensation. After a few words from Mr. N.CALVILILT, the gallery was cleared for a division. For the Clause, 47—Against it, 41.—Majority, 6. The Bill was then passed. Mr. KENNEDY moved the Order of the day for receiving the Report of the Scotch Juries' Bill. Lord BINNING moved that the Bill be recommitted., The gallery was cleared for a division.—For the recommitment, 22—For receiving the Report, %S.—Majority, 3. The Report was then received. The Tithes Composition Bill was read a third time and passed. The other Orders were disposed of, and the House adjourned. THE GREEKS AND THE TURKS. The Paper printed at Missolonghi, under the title of I The Greek Chronicle, mentions, in its Numbers of the I 17th, 18th, and 19th of February, the important services already done by the Military School established there by the English. An advertisement in this Paper invites ' young men, from the age of fifteen to twenty, to enter this establishment, where they will learn the trades of ' carpenters, founders, brazier s, &c. receive two rations drily, and a dollar and a half per month. A distin guished English Officer of Engineers is at the head of the establishment, and will shortly form a corps of Ar tt:lery. Every evening, says the Greek Journal, the Of i.ce:-s receive instruction, and in ten days they will be .6,e to direct the working of the suns, and to instruct LUSe who are intended for the Artillery service. fetters from Smyrna of the 3d ult. mention that re po: were current of Janina having surrendered to the tyreek forces under Bozzaris, and that the Albanian garrison had ranged themselves under his standard. The capture of Arta by this Commander was known at Smyrna, but its communication had not tended to ex cite any excesses on the part of the Turkish populace; the severe measures adopted to prevent these outrages having been attended with the desired end. It is sup posed the capture of Janina by the Greeks would decide the fate of Epirus. The accounts received at Smyrna from Scio, hand very melancholy details of the state of that ill-fated island. Prior to the late massacres, the inhabitants amounted to 110,000 persons, but the pre- ' sent population did not exceed 16,000. The Pacha at present governing then e is stated to be a man of great humanity, and it was hoped that under his sway some portion of the former prosperity of the island might be recovered, although many years must elapse before even a partial enjoyment of its former import 4ince could be obtained. His Majesty's ships Tribune and Rose arrived at Smyrna on the Ist of April, the for mer intending to give convoy to Malta on the 10th. CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 10. The Turkish fleet, on the eve of sailingfor the Morea, consists of one ship of the line, one razee (or cut down), eight ships of the frigate class, besides smaller vessels; also transports to carry between three and four thou ..and troops. It is also said that 15,000 Druses (a par.. ticular sect, and repoit saysi good soldiers) are to em bark from Alexandita, under the command of the Se r, askier, the Viceroy of Egypt's son. The Captain Pacha told the writer of this, that their first descent on the Morea would be on the island of Samos.—The counter .f the line-of-battle-ship is coppered tip to the stern v „ iudows, fearing the attack of the ise-shiPs."

It is with peculiar pleasure that we refer to the pro ceedings of last night in the House of Lords, when the Earl of LIVERPOOL, by command of his MAJESTY, laid before their Lordships, Bills for restoring the ho nours to four Noble Scotch families, which had been forfeited by attainder. This act of grace will not, we are sure, be the least acceptable of the many proofs of his MAJESTY'S affection to Scotland; and while it re stores to those families the honours of a long and noble ancestry, it enrols on the lists of the Scottish Peerage names of which the nation was long and justly proud. The following brief notice of the restored families will, we doubt not, be acceptable to our Readers: EASIINS ) EARL or MAR.—The Erskine, are of a very ancient family, and distinguished themselves in the service of their Sove reigns so early as the beginning of the 13th century. Sir William Erskine was an eminent adherent of King Robert Bruce. One of, his descendants, Robert Lord Erskine, claimed the Earldom of Mar (by maternal right), to which be was served heir in 1438. Robert, the fourth Earl of this family, fell at the battle of Flod den-field. He was succeeded by John, the fifth Earl, who had the custody of his infant Sovereign, Queen Mary, which he re tained until the year 1548, when the Estates of the Kingdom or dered him to carry her to the Court of France. His son John, the sixth Earl, was appointed to an ofiice of similar trust to that of his father, and had charge of James VL afterwards King of England, when an infant. John, the eleventh Earl of Mar, was unfortunately engaged in the rebellion of 1715 ; and adhering to the fortunes of the Preten-, der, followed him to ROMC. and afterwards to Paris and Aix-la- ChapeUe, where he died in 1732. His attainder took place in 1716. John, the last Earl of Mar, married, for bis second wife, Lady Frances Pierpoint, sister to the celebrated Lady Wortley Montagu. His descendant to whom his honours will be restored, is John James Erskine, Esq. GONDONNISCOUNT K:Nsrußr.—From Sir Adam de Gordon (the younger brother of Sir Alexander, ancestor of the Dukes of Gordon), who was slain at the battle of Halidon Hill, 1333, descended Sir Alexander Gordon of Kenmore, who fell at the battle of Flodden, }0 . 1513. His descendant, Sir John Gordon of Lochinvar, being eminent for his loyalty, was created Viscount Kenmore, May 8, 1633. His collateral heir, William, seventh Viscount, engaged in the rebellion of 1715,and was taken prisoner at the battle of Pres ton, when he was tried by his Peers, condemned and executed, and his estate and honours forfeited. The present representative of the family is John Gordon, Esq. DRUMMOND ) EARL. or family of Drummond was always ranked among the most ancient and illustrious names of the Scottish nation, highly distinguished by a long train of worthy an cestors, not less remarkable for the noble alliances they made and the dignities conferred on them, than for personal merit. Sir Mal colm Drummond flourished in the middle of the 12th century ; from him descended Sir John Drummond, of Stobhall, who made a great figure in the reigns of James 111. and IV. and was concerned in Most of the public transactions of the time. He was raised to the •P+eerage, by the title of Lord Drummond, January 14, 1487. His grandson James, fourth Peer, was created F.arl of Perth, March 4, 11105. His great nephew James, fourth Earl, was successively Lord Justice General, and Lord Chancellor of Scotland. On the accession of James IL of England, he was in great favour with that Monarch, and attempted to follow him abroad after his abdication, but was taken, and suffered four years' imprisonment. On his liberation he followed his master, who created hint Duke of Perth, First Lord of the Bedchamber, Knight of the Garter, &c. He died at St. Germain's, in May, 1716, and was interred in the Cha pel of the Scotch College at Paris. His eldest son James (by Lady 'Jane Douglas) attached himself firmly to the House of Stuart. He opposed the Union, and was very active in the insurrection of 1715. His son James, tallied Duke of Perth, imbibed all the principles of his family, and joined the standard of the young Pretender. At the battle of Preston he acted as Lieutenant• General ; " and in spite of a very delicate constitution," says Douglas, " he underwent the greatest fatigues, and was the first on every occasion of duty, where his head or his hands could be of use ; bold as a lion in the field, but ever merciful in the hour of victory." After the battle of Culloden had extirpated the hopes of the House of Stuart, he embarked for France, but died on the passage• May 13, 1746. Having died before the limited time appointed by Parliament for the sun - ended:lg, he escaped the attainder, but it fen on his brother and heir JIM, who was embarked in the same cause, and whose estate and title were forfeited to the crown. The present heir of the family is James Drummond, Esq. This Gentle man is, we believe, heir to the title of Viscount Strathallan, which became forfeited in 1746, when William, the fourth Viscount, fell at the battle of Culloden, and his son was included in the attainder of his father. NAIRN, Loan nizaw.—Michael de Nairn, the ancestor of the Lords of Nairn, flourished in the reign of Robert 111. His de scendant, Robert Nairn, was raised to the Peerage by the title of Lord Nairn, 1681, with remainder to his daughter Margaret and Lord William Murray, her husband, who became second Lord Nairn. This Peer engaged in the rebellion of 1715, and was taken prisoner at Preston. He was conducted to the Tower, tried by his Peers, convicted, and sentenced to death, but obtained his liberty on the general Act of Indemnity in 1717. He died in 1745, and was succeeded by his son John, third Lord Nairn, who, having ea gaged In the rebellion of 1745; was *tainted of High Treason, and his estate and honours forfeited to the Crown. Such is a brief but correct notice of the families to whom his MAJESTY has graciously proposed to restore their forfeited honours. This, as the Noble Earl who introduced the Bills said, is an act of grace and favour; but another Bill, which was presented to the House at the same time, was an act of justice—we allude to the Bill for reve rs i ng t h e atta i n d er o f Vi scoun t STAFFORD, whose trial, condemnation, and execution form so af f ecting a page in English history, and so foul a blot on an English Parliament. He was the last victim that fell under the charge of the Popish plot- Speaking of his death, HuMs says, " This is the last blood which was shed on account of she Popish plot : an incident which, for the credit of the nation, it were better to bury in eternal oblivion ; but which it is necessai y to perpetuate, as well to maintain the truth of history, as to warn, if possible, their poste rity, and all mankind, never again to fall into so shame ful, so barbarous a delusion." It may not, perhaps, be generally known, that in 1685 a Bill was bought into the House of Lords for reversing the attainder of Lord STAFFORD, on the ground, as stated in the preamble, that " Whereas it is now manifest that thesaidWccc.AAM, late Viscount STAY FORD was innocent of the treason laid to his charge, and the testimony whereupon he v. as found guilty was false." So soon after the death of this Peer did the Upper House become convinced of his innocence, and the Bill passed, although some Protests were made against it. On being brought into the House of Commons, it was, however, thrown out; and BURNET, if we mistake not, attributes the rejection of the Bill to the obstinacy of the House of Commons of that day, who would rather continue an act of injustice than acknowledge they had com mitted it. - Frankfort Papers Papers to the 18th reached us this morn ing. The following are extracts: LEIPSIC, MAY 9. Our Easter fair appears at its beginning much more favorable than we had any reason to expect, after the accounts we received from Frankfort. Very extensive business is done in woollen cloths and leather. Though the prices are not so high as to afford extraordinary profits, yet the great quantities sold make up for this. Of the Saxon and Prussian ordinary and middling cloths, almost all the stocks, even those that have been long lying in the warehouses, are already disposed of, ifid - partly even at better prices than at the last Michael mas fair. Even fine Saxon cloths have been much more in demand than for a long time past. The principal purchasers are from Switzerland and the North and South of Germany : there were but very few foreigners, which makes it the more surprising that there should be so great a quantity of goods sold. A good beginning, too, has been made in the sale of English manufactured goods, and, on the whole, we may expect a pretty good fair. The retail business of the place is very indifferent, and much diminished by the vicinity of the barriers, where tolls are levied on other States. STRASBURG, MAY 12. Prince John of Saxony, and his august consort, have been received here with every mark of honour compa tible with the incognito which they wish strictly to ob serve. They have proceeded on their journey to Basle, and, as we hear, will travel through Switzerland, and over Mount Simplon to Milan, and thence to Flo rence, to visit the Prince's sisters, who are married to the Grand Duke and the Hereditary Prince of Tuscany. Here, and in all Alsace, great hopes had been enter tained that the monopoly of tobacco would be abo lished, and the cultivation and manufacture of that important article be made entirely free. But these hopes are destroyed by the new project of law laid be fore the Chamber of Deputies, by which the monopoly is to continue until the year 1835. Letters from Paris say, that the Government insists on retaining the mono. poly, and will not hear of any concessions. As its in fluence in the Chamber is so very preponderating, the law will doubtless be passed by a great majority, not withstanding all the efforts of the Deputies of Alsace, who will do their utmost to advocate the interests of their constituents, who are interested in the free culti vation and manufacture of tobacco. STUTGARD, MAY 15. A Decree of the Royal Council of Public Instruc tion, again urges the execution of the 17th article of the law on the freedom of the press, of 30th January, 1817; and of the ordonnance of the 2d January, 1818, which order that a copy of all writings printed in the kingdom shall be deposited in the Royal Council of Public Instruction. Henceforward all printers are to deliver to the superior authorities, a catalogue of all the writings which they shall have printed in the pre ceding year, and in which the date of each work shall be inducted. DARMSTADT, MAY 16. The Government Gazette contains a notice from the Minister for Foreign Affairs, according to which the Hessian Government recognises the second and third forced Loans of Hanau, and the arrears of interest (as far as relates to those parts of Hanau which are now united to the Grand Duchy of Hesse), as a debt of the Exchequer of Hanau, and undertakes to pay it. We are happy to state that his MAJESTY, who was somewhat indisposed yesterday, is much better this morning. A Council was held this day atCariton Palace, which was attended by the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Duke of Waulsievon, the Earl of WZSTMORILAND, and other Members of the Cabinet. At this Council the RECORDER'S Report of prisoners under sentence of death in Newgate, will be made. Yesterday Prince POLIGN AC, the French Ambassador, had a long interview with Mr. Secretary CANNING. The Duke of WELLINGTON WaS indisposed for several days last week, and his presence being deemed necessity at the Cabinet Council which was held on Saturday, it was originally summoned to meet at his Grace's house, in Piccadilly, hnt his Grace was so much better on Friday night, that the Cabinet assembled at the Foreign Office, on Saturday, as usual. Last night Mr. Secretary PEEL was absent from the House of Commons in consequence of indisposition, which, how. ever, we are hal py to say is not likely to detain him lung from at tendance on his various duties. The Duchess of KENT, the Princess AUGUSTA, and the Princess From*, dined with the Dachess of CI.A 'Mai on Sun day. In the evening the Royal Duchess bad rtiuct: Laorol.D and nunitioui party to tea, atc. IL YACHT .C.LW4! •isooos.-- The periodical assemblage of the Mcini,ttrs of tit& alstinguished Matkirue Institodon being near at hand, severd of tide yachts 110tve reached Cowes Roadstead, preparatory to the Audit and ii4llut Meeting of the lit of June ensuing.

She has been fitted with a new mizen and patent canvas, and is in high order as to general equipment and rigging. The yachts which have commenced cruizing fur the season are Sir Aamun Pakozz's Union, 48 tons, with a new flush deck ; Sir GXOIIOX Tsramas's Eliza, 54 tons; Sir Groitoa Leens's Ruby, 48 tons, altered from yawl to cutter, with great improvement; Mr. Vansatt's Charlotte, 66 tons, altered from yawl to cutter, her original description, and looks far better for the change; Mr. Rime's Frisk, 20 tons ; Mr. Swot:mit Louisa, 24 tons; Mr. Pen azazz's Mary, 55 tons; Mr. PARKS' Rosabel, 23 tons; Mr. Seas e- SPCAILX'S Experiment, 36 tons; and Captain SYMONIII'S Admiral Cornwallis, 22 tons. Mr. T. A. Storm has just launched a yawl of 140 tons, of fine model and beauty; and if inference is to be drawn from her name, which is " Jack-a-Lantern," she may he seen, but not caught.— The Elizabeth, 65 tons, possessed by this Gentleman last season, is sold to Sir Gonraav Wassras ; and Mr. Taos. P. Wuxissts has purchased the Hussar, beautiful schooner, 120 tons, for 1,300 gui neas, late the property of Captain Bacon. The yachts of the Members of the Royal Yacht Club are ad mitted into the ports of France exempt from tonnage dues, by courtesy of the French Government, on the production of a certi ficate, signed by the Secretary, of actual ownership, tonnage, port of registsy, &c. but it isintimated at the French Custom-houses on the coast, that new lists and renewed certificates will be required after the Ist June next, not a vessel of any description being al lowed now to go into the ports of France (except those mentioned) free from dues. \ THE ARMY. The 2d (or the Queen's Royal) Regiment of Foot is ordered to embark for England, on board the transports that conveyed the 34th (or Cumberland) Regiment of Infantry from Portsmouth to Dublin.

The last Division of the 94th Regiment marched on Friday from Edinburgh for Greenock. They were accompanied by Sir THOS. BRADFORD, who takes great interest in their welfare, and were pre ceded by the band of the 65th Regiment. The following Regiments of Infantry are stationed at the Cape of Good Hope, and to the Eastward of it, viz. Ist Font, 2.d Batta lion, Madras ; 3d do. New South Wales ; 6th do.

CORFU, APRIL 10, 1824.—This day was published the Proclamation of Sir PRW.DIRICIC Aoax, announcing his eleva tion to the dignity of Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Isles, and paying a just tribute of respect to the memory of his illustrious predecessor, Sir THOMAS Materreo. We learn too, with pleasure, that Major-General Sir PATRICIC Ross, who has with universal ap probation exercised various functions in these Islands, bas been ap pointed to succeed Sir Faeneatce ADAM as Major-General of the Fotces. Yesterday being the Birth-day of the Princess Vrr• INDIA, when her Royal Ilighuess completed her fifth year, kw Royal Highness's uncle, Prince Leoroto, gave an elegant drUsara at Marlborough-house, at two o'clock, to the Duchess of Kelm and the infant Princes., in honour of the day, at which were present the Dukes of Yoe', Sussex, and GLOUCCSTCR, the Prince of La -1 stooge, the Duchesses of CLAZINCI and Gwvcasrra, and the Princesses AUGUSTA, Sonata Mamma, and Foonos. The Royal Party broke up about four o'clock, and soon afterwards the Duchess of Kinn and the Princess Vrrroaet left Marlborough-house for Kensington. We understand from good authority, that Commis sioners have been named by the Portuguese Govern ment for entering on a negotiation for an amicable ad justment of the differences with Brazil, and that the conferences on that subject will be held in London.— Messrs. BRANT and GAMRIRO, the Commissioners no minated to act on the part of Brazil, are already here, and also one member of the Portuguese Commission ; the next packet is expected to bring over his coadjutors, when the discussions may forthwith commence. The appointment of Commissioners by the Court of Lisbon is understood to have taken place at a Cabinet Council, held on the sth instant, and it is said that a communica tion of the result was made by the last packet. Minuet, the second son of the King of PORTUGAL, is believed te be friendly to the ao coatmodation by treaty with Brazil, because he expects that one consequence will be, that of securing for him the succession to the Crown of Portugal. There is not, it is said, any mediation to be exercised, either by England or any other Power, in the discussions about to take - place between the Portuguese and Brazilian C'em missioners, but the conferences are to proceed on certain bases al ready laid down by both Governments.—Morning raper.
