Extract of a letter (received yesterday) from Leghorn, Feb. 28. Notice was yesterday given by the government to the merchants of this city, that, by a convention between England, France, An.- trim, Russia, and Prussia. the piratical states of Tripoli, Tunis, and Algiers, are to be destroyed, and, with the assent of the Porte, to be assigned to the Pacha of Egypt. Thus Morocco would be the only Barbary state remaining. and the flags of all nations would be then probably free in the Mediterranean. SMYRNA, JAN. 31. We hear that !several Egyptian ships will go to Cyprus, to convey the Turkish army there (of 1,800 Albanians) to Candice. The Egyptian fleet which accompanied the Turkish squadron to Con stantinople, returned to Alexandria on the 9th ult. A new 80. gun frigate was expected at Leghorn. The Pacha's navy will be so re. inforced and augmented, that in a few years it will not be inferior to any of the second rank. The Courtier, in a long article on the Prince of Greece, proposes Prince Alexander Mavracordato as possessing the highest qualifica dons for that high office. The same paper contains a remarkable article in favour of the Catholic Armenians, in which it says," The necessity of acting justly will not escape the penetrating mind of the Sultan Ali. Alusselmen express the sincerest wishes in favour of the Catholics." HAMBUIIOII. 31Aucm 13. The navigation of the whole Elbe is now all at once, quite uncx. pectedly, free.

The Earl of ROtaEBERY presented a petition most respectably signed, from the farmers of Linlithgow, against the proposed addl. tional duty on British spirits. The noble Earl said that the peel. !tuners expressed their apprehension that the additional duty medi.; tated to be laid on British manufactured spirits would prove pre. judicial to their interests, as growers of barley and oats. Fur his min part, although he was persuaded of the high respectability of the petitioners, he was opposed to them in their apprehension re specting the probability of their interests suffering from the in creased duty on spirits, being of opinion that so entail an addition to the duty which now existed would not affect the petitioners.

The noble earl presented another petition, with a similar complaint and prayer. from the president, vice.president, and meta. bers of the Holderness agricultural society. IMPUOVLMENT or THE LAW. The Older of the Dsy having been read far the LORD CHAR. CELLOS to propose a measure respecting the Court of Chancery, and to submit explanations as to the bills now in progress relative to the administration of the law, The LORD CHANCELLOR rose and said—My Lords, when gave notice, on a former day, of the second reading of the bills which on Friday last passed that stage in this house, I then took OC. casuist to say that I should have the honour of bringing in a bill to. day with respect to the proceedings in the Court of Chancery, and that I should take an opportunity of stating what were the general ovum and description of those measures now in progress, sons of which are actually matured. With respect to the improvement of the law generally, I feel it my duty to call yout lordship' attention to those measures connected with that important subject mentioned in his majesty's speech at the opening of the present parliament :— " His Majesty," your lordships are told, 4 ‘ ban directed that mea. sures shall be submitted for your deliberation, of which some are cal. calmed, in the opinion of his majesty, to facilitate and expedite the course of justice in different parts of the United Kingdom ; and others appear w be accessary preliminaries to a revision of the practice and proceedings of the sot►ertor Courts." I tilt it my duty to state ge ne rally the nature of thole measures which his majesty's government have determined to submit to parliament in reference to that subject ; which measures will be particilarly submitted to your lordships' could:ration. As these u►ta►sures are matters of the utmost importance, as they will be successively pro. posed, it becomes necessary that I should poem out the full scope and object of them, in order that the particular measures may Or distinctly comprehended by your lordships. I am sensible that it will be use...vary for me to draw upon your lordships' patience a good deal, in the details with which I shall be compelled to trouble you. These details, I am hilly persuaded, will be of themselves dry.and uninteresting, if divested of the notion that they are of great importance, but I mu sure your lordships will mod der them of WADI itul►ortance, inasmuch as they relate tR the lives and pre., petty of all his majnity's subjects. My lords, in considering she importance, then, of those details, I am sure you win listen to me with ausucien.--(hear.) lo the am Ihsteeee, I feel it my duty le all your lordships' attention to what has been done with respect to the improvement of the criminal law. Much, on this head, I am satisfied your lordships will consider hits tarn. done by my right hon. friend, the Secretary of State for the home department. To him must he ascribed thole improvements a bleb have taken t ; and from the situation which he held, he had various opportunities of seeing the evils connected with the criminal laws, as they then stood upon the statute-book. The right hon. gentleman, from his situation. as I have said, had frequent opportunities of wit nessing the defects in the criminal law. He abrogated many of those obsolete forms, among which was one—the benefit of clergy. Having.brushed away that law rubbish, if I may be allowed to use such an expression. we an now in a condition to look distinctly at the subject. My right hon. friend consolidated the laws with res. pat to larceny, also all that part of the criminal code which has re ference to offences against the person and against property. He has now ready to be submitted to the other house of parliament a con solidatiou of all the laws with respect to forgery. When I state to your lordships that he has repealed no less than 400 statutes, and Olen I state that he has taken away the punishment of death from. I believe, warty 300 distinct offences, I think your lordshias will agree with me theft my right hon. friend is entitled, for his tier. Sons, to the thanks and gratitude of his country. In what he has accomplished, there is an advantage which must be apparent to every one; for now, instead of looking through all the statutes con nected with the offences to which I hive made allusion, they ate all contained in rive or six distinct acts. This consolidation of the laws, this arrangement, enables any individual to see, almost at a glance, the whole of the criminal laws, as far as enactments are concerned. By this arrangement errors are more readily detected, and an oppor tunity afforded of carrying on still further impnweinetts of the sta tute-book. I pass, my lords, from this subject, because, as I have already intiirrated, I intend to give a general outline of the improve ments, and can only touch on each point Your lordships are aware that about two years ago a commission was appointed by his Ma jesty to inquire into the general state of the law of the country, as administered by the superior Courts of Justice. The cemmissiontre have made two reports, which have been laid upon your lordship's table. One bill has already been proposed, and another is in pro gress, to give effect to those regulations. I will now proceed to state to your lordships what is in further contemplation, and what the probable result of their proceedings. Your lordship* are aware that the superior Courts of Westminster Hall, into which the inquiries of the commissioners were directed, are the Court of King's Bench, the Court of Common Pleas, and the Court of Exchequer. Thee courts, in their original formation, were differently constituted ; their attention was directed to different objects. The principal ob ject of the Court of King's Bench was the criminal Jurisdiction. The Common Pleas had • civil one ; end the Court of Exchequer dealt with the revenue of the crown. In the course of time, the King's Bench court, by a fiction, assumed a civil jurisdiction. The King's Bench had. by this fiction, a civil jurisdiction over the per sons who were in the custody of its officers ; and it assumed a similar jurisdiction to that which the Common Pleas possessed. The Court of Exchequer in civil cases, when a debtor of the crown WAS concerned, had a jurisdiction, because it had right to look after the revenues of the crown. But. now, by a fiction, a party was assumed to be a debtor to the crown, although in reality no debtor, and then he was pencilled against. Now your lordships will understand that, in consequence of the original jurisdiction, a different mode of practice was founded in each of the three Courts which I have named. With respect to the jurisdiction and practice of the King's Bench court, there are two volumes in octavo, very closely printed, containing many peon. These two volumes are necessary for explaining the rutin tir *s court and its proceedings. With respect to the Court of Corns= Plea% them is nearly as much :published on the same subject. There Is us work relating to the practise of the Court of Exchequer. If these were sea s it would be still more voluminous, and still more costs plicated. The real object that the commissioners directed their at. tention to was, to see whether the practice of the three courts could be assimilated, and to shorten the whole of the proceedings, for the purpose of diminishing the expenses. My kids, I am sure your lordships will agree with me that the character and intelligence which these learned gentlemen forming this commission pones' well qualified them for their task, and that it is highly commendable the course these gentlemen have recommended towards stripping the law of those unnecessary technicalities with which it is encumbered. This is the first object to which the commissioners directed their attention, and a bill has been framed to carry into effect that object. The bill is now on your lordships' table. The snood report of the commissioners relates to a subject of very great importance ; I allude, my lords, to the science of special pleading. I have heard it said , or reported to have been said, that all special pleading is lumber and jargon, calcu lated only to increase the expenses of • case, and prevent the facts from being perceived. The Commissioners entertain a different opinion; and, my Lords. so do I. They have pursued a wiser and a better course than those who seek to have special plead. ing abolished. Special pleading puts the fact between the parties at issue. It is of infinite importance to the interest of the suitor that he should know what is the fact at issue If he do not, how can he know what witnesses he shall require ? lie will be put to ad ditional expense in calling witnesses whom it may ant be proper to have, unless be be acquainted with the fact. I say, my Lords, if the facts are not put on record, expenses will be considerably ncreased. Would there not be repeatedly applicationefor new trials ? Such an omission would undoubtedly multiply relning greatly ;therefore it is that I say, my Lords, the Commiss i o n ers have done wisely in the counte that they have recommended. What is special pleading, my Lords ? It is no more liep this—the plaintiff' states his case, - which the defendant answers ; :The replica las the defendant, and the question is then at issue. Tile praihtiff is confined by the original declaration, from which he cannot depart without parti cular reason The fact then at issue is brought into Court. What, my Lords, we have done is this, for, like every thing else in this world. abuses will arise, and from the impntation of which special pleadini; is not entirely freed. The object we have in view is to strip this science of some it its abuses, to bring it to an exact form, getting rid of the incumbrances which now attach to it, sod reserve only those forms and proceedings which are essential to it as a science. The second report, my Lord*, as 1 before intl. mated, is directed to this &jeer. I trust, my Lotds,when you come to see a bill relating to the subject, you will think that the Commissioner* have done essential ser vice to the country. They have cot fined their inquiries to the Courts of Common Law, to assimilate their proceedings, and shorten the process, with a view of diminishing the expense (without reference to courts of equity); and I am quite sure that, when their future labours are nen, they will be found highly beneficial. The commissioners are proceeding in their inquiries, and will pursue them in the same spirit until they have e u nipleted their task. But this is not all; there is ano ther important subject to which they have successtully directed their attention. I am persuaded your lordships ate of opinion that the inquiry into the actual state of our superior courts is one desert,. Mg considerable attention. In the Court of King's Bela& there has been a large accumulation of business. The Court of Common Pleas has had a considerable portion, but the Court of Exchequer hes had Luis to do. I find. from a return laid before Parliament, that within the last five yeses there have been tried in the Court of Kind's Bench 11,000 cases; in lb.. Common Pleas 3,300 ; and in the Court of Exchequer, between subject and subject (for I do not speak of cases tried there in which the adonis a party,) there have only been 300. Fur the purpos- us alluding relief to the King's Bench, the noble and learned lord added, that when he was Attorney.tienera/, he in tneluced a bill fur enabling the judges to sit out of term. When that bili was introduced it was called a temporary measure. but ex perience had proved that it must be permanent. The practical in. convenience of this was, that questions sent to the King's Bench were decided by two ur three judges, and the suitors had not the benefit of the bard chief Justice, who usually Oaf trying nuns st Nisi Fritts. Is was also injurious, ism-much as it had a seadesey to impede the examine of counsel. The suggestion of the tomeils. sinners on this subject was this f—they thought the common Pier did as much business as a ug h t to b e m inuti a H e bed long beam of opium's that neither 'Judas our counsel ought to have ell their time taken up by their profeleion. They ought to have as eppoe. amity of keeuing up their knowledge. The Court of Eiclonyow cottaisted of four barons. There was smother aunt of equity in which the Lard High 'treasurer ought to preside. That oHnv however, bad not atiesdeal, and the bassos were °liked to ahead, curiae qusatly less had been date in the Court of Escheqeer. sea court of law.

It had bees also men. mended that anotiste assonant judge should be at OMNI. p m= Welds jade:alum had eltee escupied the attention et ; and the metal opinion was that the *hams of Wales sh.tt:l' be pit on a footing with English judicature. It was recommet.ded that t of toe judges in Westminster-hall sh ou ld attend the Sellliflll of Weirs. 'f here was another sot jest of Imroriance he alluded .o jury trial- in tlard. A commission had been arpoinred To inquire whether the syst-in or trial by jury could he applied in Sentiamt Hitherto the Jury Court in Scotland had stood isolated, best it had been found to work well. and a bill would be intnsinoed to annex trial by jury to the juris prudence of that country. There was another measure of importance. t commission had been appointed to inquire into the laws relatin4 to real property. They had not made their report, bet he had no doubt the rearommerdation of that commiosion would he highly neticial to the country. Inquiry had beat node Into the state of the ecclesiastical courts. He could not anticipate the report of that learned commitaion, but it had been eppointed to per the law re gulaing those tuns on the best possible foisting. l'he Noble at d !awned lord then adverted to the Crain of Chancery. The %hole slim of money then in the Court of Chancery amounted to no less than £401000,000 sterling. The House would, therefore. see that they had to legislate upon an itt:portnnt branch of .he law at. ministration. The Noble and laarr.rd Lord :oh:crud to :he re- ports of commissioners, and he could say. notwithstandmg s.l that had been said shout delay+ in Chancery, that the progr• as of a cause in Chancery had been as rapid is Co Use% is (MA of Law and Equity. From the time of lord Hale con". plaints had been made against Chancery. Within the last fa y year. the business had beets its arrest ; but for the last three years Ito causes had been gaining on them. Caottaltins might weer to throw causes hack. It so happened wires the \'s a of the Roll., trim T. Pion cr. prasitied ; and the lAMB easuslti.s might occur agttn. The reirtedy lie ptopo.ed last year was tit. ad. (futon of an ALA. Judge. lie sh , tuid, however, propo•e, t it at would be competent in his .Majesty to remove thot oflizet. if the arrears of causes should he worktil olf. The Judge might hr traits. fared to another branch of service. Notwithstanding the ithsaircs recominc.dad for shortening the business of Chancery, the business had bean nearly as great last year as during preceding years. A great part of this business in the Court of Chancery arise out cif hearing niosioiss instead of ans‘-a. That could not he 3r4).ttetl. The accumulation of causes lIKt +Weed mutiots, aid :he anise:eat increased. The hearing motions multiplied th Wheat sitting as Chancellor to hear appeals. lac was tol there was an itnportaat motion or such a direction out of a motion. The consequence was, that not more than forty days had been occupied by the Chancellor in hearing appeals. In that Monte only ninety appeals stood fur hearing--of that nunit.er thirty had been heard. With the assiotance or the noble lord, 14tely appointed, the whole would be, probably. disposd of this sertua. Much had been said that the privy council required the atte'sda: re of the lord Chancellor ; but he was glad to say there was no op ' peals in arrest in the privy council. With respect to the Master's Office. the learned persons in that office had been charged with de lays ; but he was able to assert that the charge was unfounded Four thousand reports had been made by that learned body in each year, for several yeasts back. They had been charged with takiog improper remuneration. They were paid by taking tees for copies made by their clerks The commission hail recommended an altera tion in that mode of remuneration, and he should propose that the fees be fixed in a tot which would furnish each master with a re muneration of about 3,0001. per annum. In that way they might accomplish the object the commiooion had in view. They had tin power to provide a better mode of retnuisetation. When he maid an additional Judge should be ap po inted, he did not mean to say the arrangement would fix any addit io nal expense on the country. There wax a fund in the Court of Chancery, which he compared to unclaimed dividends. It had been frequently applied to various purposes. At present there was a amigo' of £30,0110 per annum, and out or that surplus he proposed to pay the additional judge. When a cause went in to the !!aster's Office, he pro posed that a constant account should be kept of all cases in which no report had been made. On the subject of proceedings in lunacy cases, he admitted that great expense had been incur red in the cases of Lord Portsmouth, Mr. Davis and a gen tleman named Holmes. A bill had been brought into the other House, to enable juries at Nisi Prime to try cases of lunacy. He had satisfied the gentleman who had conducted that Bill that it was unnecessary. The Lord Chancellor had the power to direct such questions to be tried by judges at common law. The expense of such causes arose from the number of witnesses called, and he proposed to give a judge at Nisi Prius power to point out the number and quality of witnesses to be examined. With re spect to bankruptcy business the noble and learned lord proposed some regulations, among others he should propose to make country commissions embrace about the same number of commissionets as London commissions. Having stated all his views upon these im portant questions, the noble and learned lord concluded by moving the second reading of the bill for further facilitating the adminis tration of justice in the superior courts of law. The bill was accordingly read the second time. The houae then adjourned.
