\ N. S bel h angiWto t.p!t_Eati Abergaeenny. That Noble mane hoWt.rlflkwishing to have ground occupied in that summary manner. consented to affix a small rent upon it, of It. 6d. a year; on payment of which he per' mitred this man to reside there. On the night of the 17th of last May, the house. was discovered to beton fire, and the risonee was found in the act of removing away a past of hit tittle furniture. He voluntarily con fessed to thaaonstable. that It was he who had set the place on Pre; and - in - Inrtber explanation, the. Learned Counsel humanely adde . rl;. that the prisoner had had a quarrel with his,wife , and it was for refienge upon her that he had burnt their little dwelling ; he was a person of very violent and insane temper when drunk, and was eeidenfli , into:jotted - at the time of the outrage. James Jones, the principal witnesswas ealkd, but did not answer. The constable was then called, who apprehended the prisoner by his 'Mei desire, while he was trying to rescue his little furniture from the flames, which he de. Glared he had himself kindled to be revenged upon his wife, who hid complained of his violent conduct when drunk on the night in question. The constable described the house, as . it *was called in the indictment, to be a *retched thatCherci.fisst,Ar bore!, with one apartment, or enclosed placcomach initaior to the general plan of vier sheik. Mr. Justice IluttnnUun said that there was hardly sufficient evidence to shew this building to have been a house. It was a pity the case had come before him ; for the law, which imposed an awful penalty for arson, did not disritiguish large inhabitable houses from small ones, and he could not compromise his duty by milting any such distinction. Mi.WArsou concurred in the insufficiency of the evi dence. The only object of the noble- prosecutor was to shew that such proceedings ought not to be permitted v. it h total iMpunity. The ct ime ttself was, in principle, a serious one, though he was by no means disposed to carry this prOsecution any further. A verdict of acquittal was pronounced, and the Learn ed Judge admonished the prisoner to avoid a similar offence in future. He ran the risk of being hanged if he set ale to his landlord's house because he could not agree with his wife. It ought. however, to be a warning to him how he drank to excess, for it was the influence of liquor which had first caused the quarrel, and then the burning of the place. RORY WELCHMAN V..TONZS AND DAVIS. The plaintiff, Henry Welchman, a linen draper at Bi iAvl, brought this action against the defendants, who were, one of them, a linen draper, and the other at Abergavenny, for a, Malicious prosecution. The circurri.tances were these:—ln February, 18/.5, the defendant, E.R. J ales, then a linen draper at Aber. gavenny, wished to dispose of his stock in trade, and the plaintiff went to him for the purpose of making a bargain respecting it, for hit brother, John Welchman. A negotiation was entered into, and a memorandum of an agi cement was prepared, and signed by the plaintiff. not in his own proper signature, but that of his brother John. The purchase being completed, bills were trans mitted in payment, signed John Welchman ; who sub sequently became a bankrupt, and never appeased to his com Mission—the bills were subsequently disho noured ; and in the month of July following, - the de fendants went before a Magistrate, and made oath that tlte. _plaintiff .bad fraudulently personated his brother 3°11144nd. by that artifice had become possessed of the defendant Jones's property. Having made this affida 41i; (bey obtained a warrant coarsest the plaintiff; After several witnesses had been examined, Mr. lttrasELL, for, the deft ndant, took a legal objec. tion Upon certain variances between the original docn meats produced, and the descriptions of them in the I declaration. It was averred in the first count that the warrant was backed by one Robert Haystill, Esq. the Mayor of Bristol, whereas the warrant, on being pro duced, exhibited the signature of a name which merely consisted of certain up-and-down strokes that were perfectly illegible as letters, and might or might not have been taken for a name. On the other side it was _contended, that however badly written, it still purported to.be the Ilona Ale signature of the Mayor of Bristol. On ,tastber inquiry, however, it was a•cettained that the Mayor's name was Haysill, not Hay still. —Mil Baron.

The Learned Baron, in conclusion, held ihautise-raciance in the Mayor's name, Haystill, instead of Baran, was fatal to the declaration. • 'lnt. Tathtlraw, Weever, showed that the second count was free porn i the objection, and the case went on. "Mt Roams. made , an energetic appeal to the Jury in behalf of the defendants, in which be urged, that they bore no malice, which infist be the ground work. of a false charge, and that in reality their rills' bid been obtained by the plaintiff's having assumed his • britliefs name in the signature to the agreement. Th . * :pity found a verdict for the defendants. The ease lasted titil tight o'clock on Tuesday mains. CORK. Patrick Sullivan, a lad about eighteen years of age, was indicted for having received stolen goods, namely— font butter firkins, the propetty of Messrs. Leatry, of Cork. The prosecutors w ere persons extensively engaged in trade, The prisoner was in Astir employment. It was found that upwards of 200 butter fit kins were taken out at the stores. D Lane—Witness knows the prisoner at eie bar. Witness and the prisoner were in the employment of Messrs. Leatry. The prisoner proposed to witness to let him have some butter firkin:, which he observed airtight be easily sold, and they could settle as to the buneyl Witness was at length, after much p resin g' prevailed upon to give over to the prisoner a number ' of the butter fu kins, and witness accordingly left she firkins in a certain place, for the prisoner, as it was , previously arranged bet*eeu them. (Here four firkins were produced by a woman, to whom they were sold b y the prisoner ; but the desk of Messrs. Leatry was not able to identity the fit kins) They were like those in the stt.tes ; hut it was lie conceived impos.ible to swear to them.

An article in the Frwrossrnd, received this mauling, gives some further particulars of the late affair -with the SYSILLZ and the Greek pirates: MALTA, June 27. His Majesty's frigate the Sybil., Captain Pechel, returned to this port cm the 2Sth; after having spent a month at Alexandria and in the Archipelago. While it was at Alexandria, the Maltese brigantine the Sue, and the Sardinian brigantine Phenomenon, entered that poet, after having been visited and pillaged by four Greek mystics. Captain Pechel being informed of this, tool on board a sailor be longing to the Sun, and went in search of the pirates. He fell in with them off Gozza, thirty miles from Chad* and gave them chase. The pirates, having taken refuge in shay, the Sybille armed its boats to attack the mystics, but the latter kept up such a heavy Are on the bouts, that they were disabled, and wete in danger of being all taken, bad not the frigate some to their aid. The Sybille has returned to this port , having had 15 me n 'among wham are two Midshipmen ( Aspirars)of distiataishett families. - She has brought back 27 wounded; among whom ate two Lieutenants, whose wounds are mortal. We have received certain information, that his Majesty's frigate CaMbria, Commodore Hamilton, has destroyed about 50 mystics, and taken nearly 1,000 men, who coMposed their crews. German Papers were Also received this morning, from which the following are extracts: NUREII'CURG, Jute . 45. There is now scarcely any doubt that the differences respecting the navigation of the Rhine will be shortly settled to the satisfaction of the parties interested. The Government of the Netherlands, as we bear, has expressed its readiness to desist from the claims it has hitherto made, to restrict the navigation of the rivers through its territory, and now pretends only to a suitable indemnification for the great expends of the dikes, sluices, and other works, without which the navigation of the river into the sea would not be possible. The only point therefore would be to fis the amount of this in demaky, as the equky of the claim will hardly be disputed by any 'party. It la said theta great German Power, which has no direct . interest in the business, will take on itself the office of mediator, at the joint solicitation of all the States on the banks of the River. BERLIN, Jura , 14. All kinds of law proceedings have latterly increased in such a degsee, pastly foam the increase of business, and partly front the genera► revolution that has effected almost all classes, that the ' Supreme Tribunal, notwithstanding its acknowledged activity, • cannot pus an ordinary conlirsnatory sentence a less than eight months, or a sentence altering that of an inferior Court in ku than 16 months : some measures have been taken to remedy this evil, by ;transferring fart of the business to other Courts. An Otdonnance Itis just been published, extending to the whole kingdom the regu tations giving certain advantages us Prussian civil officers in case their salary is sequestrated by virtue of a judicial sentence. In this case an °fuer in active service retains 400 dollars bf his salary for his support, and if he is a pensioner retired from service, 600 dol lars. Still more important is a declaration relative to the law of Finances of 17th January. 1820. According to this Edict, not only are the whole of the public debts placed under the guarantee of the future estates of the kingdom, without whose consent they cannot be increased, but the Rnyal Domains and their revenues are pledged to the•publie creditor, under the superintendance of sworn Commissioners. According tb the declaration, all the domains un der the administration of • the Board of Finance are to be here understood, including the abolished monasteries, which are not men tioned in the law df 1820. It its said that the celebrated traveller Alexander Von Humboldt is expected, on a visit to his brother the Minister of State, William Von Humboldt, and that he wiU make a long stay with him, at his country seat, Tegel. BUCHAREST, JULY 4. Our letters from Constantinople of the 29th of Julie and Ist of July say nothing of the state of the capital. The arrival of Lord Gordon at Napoli, who announced the coming of Lord Cochrane, has caused a great sensation at Smyrna. 10th.—We have no late news from Constantinople. The Russian post, with the letters of the 7th, is expected. Bogota Pipers of the 25th May, received at the North and South American Coffee house, contain a cop, of the law passed by the Colombian Senate and House of Representatives, for the consolidation of public credit. The Decree was passed on the 19th Mays it is of great length, but we have only room for the fol lowing extract: " First, They put aside to pay the interest of their foreign debts the duties on tobacco, the eighth part of the proceeds of the duties collected at the Custom-houses, and the proceeds of all mines sold. And for the payment of the interest of the home debt, they assign, amongst other objecti, the tenth part of all municipal duties, and the ninth part of ;11 the tythes. A Commission of Inspection for public credit has been appointed. Their foreign debt is about six millions, seven hundred snd fifty thousand pounds, at six per Cent. Home debt about seventeen hundred thousand pounds, at five per Cent:" Carthagena Papers of the SOth April contain the Ales• sage from the President of Mexico to the General Con•' press, in which he states, that France has solemnly declared its earnest desire to draw closer its mercantile relations with this and the other modern Republics of America. We have given its leading points. Jamaica Papers to the 24th of June were received last night, at the North and South American Coffee house. The following is an extract : SANTA MARTHA, Jostle. On the 9th Instant, a squadron, composed of one ship of the Roe, four frigates, and a schooner, came o 1 this port ; they hovered about us until two o'clock, when they proceeded to leeward. This day's post brings accounts of their being at anchor off a deserted part of the coast to leeward of SavanWa, in all probability In search of water, or, perhaps, lurking for prizes. Everything was ready here to give them a warm reception, bad they attempted a landing. General Montilla, who happened to be at one of his estates, about tea leagues from where they were lying, immediately came up, and raised on amuse the militia of the district. He also ordered up the Tyradores of the Guard (one of their crack Regi ments) from Carthagens so that Wale enemy attempts to land, be will be met in all vulnerable points of the coast. Nothing can equal the enthusiasm with which every individual runs to arms to defend his home. At a late hour this morninge reseiied Dutch Papers to the 2d inclusive, but the following is the only politi cal article which they contain __ BATAVIA, Mama IS. Our accounts from Djoejocarta are only to the 15th of last month. There had been some skirmishes with the rebels, who were always defeated. It now appears that several of these Chiefs were killed in an action of the tsth of February. The native Chief Wiroyoedo, who was mach devoted to the rebels, and has great influence, has submitted, and four other Inferior Chiefs, to the Resident at Kadoe, who thinks that others will follow the example. tid.—The Batesis arrant contains accounts of various actions of little importance.--The incestutt rain impedes the movement of our troops, so that they do not act except in cases of extreme ne. ceseity. This seems to have encouraged the rebels, and in some degree to have gained for the moment more adherents. The Paris Papers of Monday, and the Etoile dated Tuesday, have been received. The latter contains a long official correspondence, extracted from the Mezican Government Gazette, relative to the establishment of a French commercial agent in Mexico. The history of this affair may be succinctly stated. It appears that a ' Mr. MURPHY bad been established as an agent for the Mexican Government in Paris, under the authority of Mr. ROCA, WIRTZ, Mexican Envoy to London ; and that, on the application of Mr. MURPHY, the King of Dunce bad allowed the formation of Mesican commercial agencies in different parts of his kingdom. Admiral * DUPER RR, commander of the French naval force in the %Vest Indies, dispatched the Nymphe frigate to Vera Cruz in April, with a letter trs the Mexican Minister for Foreign Affairs, in which he announces that his Most Christian Majesty had authorised him, through the medium of Count CRABROL, his Mi nister for the Marine and Colonies, to ask of the Mexican Government the establishment of a superior agent of French commerce, accredited under his autho city as Admiral of the fleet on that station. M. MARTIN, the agent so appointed, was on board the Nymphe, and waited the reply of the Mexican Minister to this despatch, before proceeding to the capital. The singular form in which he was accredited by the French Admiral, instead of direct from his Government, did no t escape the notice of M. CAMACIIN the Mexican Minister for Foreign Affairs. In his reply, however, after stating the necessity, in similar cases, of a direct authority frOm the Government represented, he declares his willingness to have waved this. pint, through his anxious desire to cultivate the good-wilt of Prance, had Mr. MUMMY, the agent appoihted in Paris by M. Rocatusale, been pub licly acknowledged in that character. Thiti, however, was not done, and the King of Fnanos,. furtlitr., in his speech at the opening of the Session, had made no men tion of relations with Mexico, although, delivered sub sequently to the mission of Admiral DllPEallt. M. CANIACHO declares that the rule of his Government is that of perfect reciproeita, and on the ground that Mr. Mummy's official character in Paris is that of (widen tial, as distinguished trom authetised agent, he grants permission to M. MARTIN to Like up his tesidel•ce in the Republic under a similar tide. He would thus be enabled to fulfill all the functions assigned him, until the King of FRANCE., informed of all that had occurred, should confirm his appointment in the usual form.. The Dale 'tresses doubts of the intelbgence from Lisbon re• specting a change of Ministry, first published lry the Maritsa/mad, and professes to consider the event, if true, an affair of very ill omen, inasmuch as it world show that the leading party in Portugal • were in regular communication with the French "rev du ;.1;I :try" papers.

THE DUKE Or DEVONSHIRE. - By a letter we have waived from a Gentleman, in the suite of kis Grace the Duke of Devonshire, dated the 20th Jun., at St. Petersburgh. we are informed, that the Duke gave a dtjeteni nit board the Gloucester, 74, on the 17th, which was attended by 90 persons of the must distinguished Nobility of St. Petersburgh, who were tread' , delighted with the novelty of the entertainment. Monday, the 19th June, was the first day of his Grace visiting the Emperor to elate, who received him at the Imperial Palace of Crestolfske, about eve worsts fT•I3I St. Petersburgh. The cavalcade consisted of three carriages; in the first of which (the state carriage) were his Grace and the Noblemen e ' bit suite. drawn by six horses , w ith postillions, and "d by id footmen and a chasseur • he whole in splendid state liveries. The neat carriage was dra wn ' by four horses in hand, with new harness, attended by six footmen and a chssseur: the last was a chariot, drawn by four Russian horses, with Russian coachstiaii and postillion, in new Russian liveries attended also by six footmen and a Anwar. His Grace was received with the most ilatteriog marks of distinction by the Emperor, who was pleased to highly compliment the Duke on the elegance and splendour of his equipage. width. for chasteness, far exceeds anything of the kind that has yet been displayed in St. Petersburgh. The French Ambassador Ex traordinary (the Marshal Duke of Ragusa) was highly delighted; and expressed to the Duke of Devonshire his astonishment, that his Grace could ets soon have appeared at the Imperial Court so mag nificently attended, after having received such little notice previous to his Embassy. His Grace has not yet given any dinner parties, nor will any in vitations be issued till after the funeral of her late Majesty the Empress. It is expected the Doke will proceed to Moscow about the middle of July, whither the greater part ofthe baggage has already been forwarded. The time for the Coroaatioa of the Emperor is not positively fixed, but it is thought that it will take place early in September.

The Sardinian Ambassador to the Russian Court, when he passed through this city, declared that he had never felt suck heat even in Italy. The state of the atmosphere does nut alarm us, as we have rain from time to time, but the rivers are sse low that an eonununication by water is suspended.
