His MAJESTY continues in the same state of tran quillity that we have reported for many weeks past. Her MAJESTY is so meal recovered from her late indisposition, as to be able to take her usual morn ing airings. The SPANISH AMBASSADOR has for several days been confined to his house, through indisposition. The Trustees under the Act for purchasing an estate' for the Marquis of WELLINGTON, have suc ceeded in procuring the property near Wellington, in Somersetshire, which was formerly in the Wu- Leuze family. Lady HAMILTON has published a narrative of the services she rendered to her country, by her influence with the Queen of NAPLES, while resident with her husband, the late Sir WILLIAM HAMILTON, at that Court ; the cost of which, and the losses sustained by her in the accomplishment of these services, she states at not less than 020,000. Her Ladyship says she is now embarrassed, and wishes for remuneration. Mr. JEuvolsE, Mr. BAKER, and Mr. WADHAM WYNDHAM, are Candidates to represent the City of New Sarum in Parliament. The Ladies, Noblemen, and Gentlemen, of every County of Great Britain and Ireland, Amateurs and Artists, now have such an opportunity tor a treat of SKETCHES in WATER COLOURS as has never betore occurred, and will never be repeated. The admired Drawings of that Prince of Antiquaries, Captain Gaosa, from which the Prints of his Antiquities of England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, were engraved, ate now brought to Public Auction, at No. 42, Old Bond-street.

On Wednesday last was held, at the Assize UAL in Bodmin, a meeting of the Freeholders of the county of Cornwall, to consider of t Petition to both Houses of Parliament against an unqualified concessio to the claims of the Roman Catholics. The High She riff of the county, John Vivian, Esq. of Pencalenick, having taken the Chair, explained to the meeting, that a considerable number of persons were without the Hall, who could not gain admittance, and that he wished to have the sense of the Freeholders present on the propriety of adjourning the meeting to another place.-- (Loud crier of Adjourn ; and No, no.) Mr. CHARLES RASHLZIOR begged leave to address the Sheriff, in order to suite, that on his 'iV4 to at tend the meeting, he had overtaken the captain of a mine, named Robert Hancock, accompanied by a body of miners, who told him that they had been or dered to attend the County Meeting by his nephew, Mr. John Colman Rashleigh, who had informed them, that they had a right to attend and vote there as well as the Freeholders. As the meeting was convened of Freeholders, he contended that these persons, not being Freeholders, had no right to attend. Mr. Jowl COLMAN RASHLNIGII, conceiving that a County Meeting embraced every description of taxed inhabitants, he had publicly said, in Luxillian church , yard, that every taxed inhabitant had a right to at tend ; and If this principle was not admitted by the Sheriff, he should protest against all the proceedings of the present meeting. Mr. Colman Rashleigh next proposed that the meeting do adjourn to the open air, asserting, that many hundreds of persons were on the outside of the Hall, who could not possibly get in to vote on the occasion.— (Loud clamour for adjournment.) The motion for adjournment was strenuously op posed by Mr. Gxeciou, Mr. ROSE PRICE, and others, ho contended, that as there were many persons pre sent who were not Freeholders, they should iippose any adjournment to the open air, where th e triajority of persons, not Freeholders, would decidedly predo minate.—(Amilduse and clamour.) Mr. J. B. THEVANION vehemently protested against the meeting, and all its proceedings. Here the noise and clamour became yea y great. — Order being A little restored, the High Sheriff expres sed his regret at the clamour which was manifested, and stated, that as he was satisfied that the present Meeting was a Meeting of Freeholders only, he was ready to take the sense of the Freeholders present as to the motion of adjournment. ( Hear.) Mr. J. COLMAN RASHLEIGH again warmly protes ted against the proceedings of the Meeting ; and even asserted that the Sheriff had no authority to take the Chair on the present occasion, but that his presiding over the Meeting was a sure matter of courtesy on the part of the persons assembled. (Loud hisser.) His uncle, Mr. Charles Rashleigh, had stated, that he had brought people there to make a riot. (Loud crier of No, no.) The HIGH SHERIFF, in reply, observed, that he con sidered his presiding over the present Meeting of Free. holders was, by right, as Sheriff of the county of Cornwall. Mr. JOHN VIVIAN ' of Truro, said, that the Sheriff' had told him, at the door of the Assize Hall, that he would instantly adjourn the Meeting to the open air ; he was sorry to find that the Sheriff came into that Hall to be .rhaci/cd in his conduct. The HIGH SHLRIFF denied u; he came into that hall perfectly independent. At length the motion for adjournment was put, and negatived. A Petition against the Catholic Claims was then moved, and agreed to by a large majority. Thanks were then voted to the Sheriff, and the Meeting clis. persed. As soon as the Sheriff determined to take the sense of the persons in the hall on the question of adjourn ment, the Gentlemen ivho meant to oppose the Peti tion in its present form, withdrew, in order to draw up and sign a Protest against the proceedings. Not a word was said on the principle of the Petition; and as it was known that the principal persons on each side were prepared to speak on the subject, those assem bled were greatly disappointed. Thus ended this extraordinary meeting. The up roar continued for about two hours. At a late meeting of the Portmen of the Borough of Ipswich, Petitions were agreed to in favour of the Catholic Claims. - Petitions against the Catholic Claims were in the course of last week agreed to by the Freeholders of Cornwall, the Archdeacons and Clergy of the division of Hereford and Carmarthen, and the Cities of Bath and Coventry. A Dublin Paper says It is understood that the Earl Of DONOUGHMORE and Mr. GRATTAN will be able to present the Catholic Petitions on or about the 15th of February; and the debate in the Commons will probably take place on the 24th, and in the Lords on the Ist of March." The Secretary at War of the United States has is sued a General Order, forbidding officers' and sol diers of the army to correspond with their friends and others on subjects relative to their duties and the public service. Several vessels arrived yesterday from France with licences, and some of them left the coast two days age. This at once contradicts the statement of an embargo on the other side. Various letters have been received by these conveyances, but in none of them is the least mention made of fresh disturbances in Paris. It is estimated, that by the whole of the British li cences now in circulation, BONAPARTE will derive duties from his own subjects to the amount of from I eight to ten millions sterling. The following is an extract of a letter from Mes sina, dated December 10, 1812 The Ist and 27th regiments, the grenadier battalion of the foreign light intantry, a battalion of the Italian levy, a divi sion of Calabrese, and the grenadier battalion of the Neapolitan guards, sailed from hence on the 10th ultimo for the Peninsula, the whole under the corn mand of Major-General CAMPBELL, Adjutant-Gene. rat of Sicily. Lord WM. Basirismc, it is said, will soon follow. Courts Martial are constantly sitting in the citadel, for the triad of Sicilians accused of holding correspondence with the enemy, but no ex ample-has hitherto been made of these traitors. The recruiting for the 2d battalion of the Greek light in-, fantry goes on slowly, owing to some a b s u r d sti p u l a .l tions made in the letter el service for the increase of this corps." INTILLICZYCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, FEBRUARY!. =PARTE BRYANT. This was a petition by Mr. Bryant, an ems, • Solicitor, to stay the proceedings under a cam • sion of Bankruptcy, taken out against him, as d and chapman, and bookseller, until be should lair an opportunity of trying its v alidity at law. Mr. MONTAGUE, for the Assignees, resisted the a plication, on the ground that a trial at law had ~ ready taken place, and in the judgment of th Con of Common Pleas, the petitioning crediroi 6 - debt, tk. trading, and act of bankruptcy, had !Len proved as to support the Commission. He hoped thereto that the Court would see no reason for any Lath delay. No difference ought to be made between. rich Bankrupt and a poor one ,Mr. M. to sliew th delay was the great object, adverted to certain %Trot • in the petition, from which it appeared that it • designed to carry the case into the House o! Lends: Sir SASIt'CL ROVILLY said it could not be ca • . into the House of Lords, and yet his Learned Friers kad condescended to dwell upou these foolish word in an ill-drawn petition ; like a lion labouring to in pieces a fly. He contented, that though M Bryant had at times purchased valuable and curiou books, and afterwards disposed of them for profit, i. ought not to be cons;ered as a bokseler, in th usual sense of the term , and therefore o was not halal to the Bankrupt laws. Mr. Bryant was fully con petent to pay his debts, and offered to give up a estate to his creditors, to secure such payment ; tiu 1 as he did not think himself liable to the bankrupt la w he was anxious to get rid of the Commission. t The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that he hinisel ' and he supposed most gentlemen at the bar, had • • a good deal surprised, to hear of a coMmissio, against Mr. Bryant, the solicitor, as dealer an• chapman, and bookseller. It appeared, however, ties Mr. Bryant bad occasionally purch.tvd valuabl • books and prints, and afterwards sold them, and Court of Law bad pronounced that this was a tradin within the Statute; he therefore saw no reason to staying the proceedings upon that ground. But i the offer of Mr. Bryant was such as ought to satisf the creditors, then there could be no occasion to pr . teed in the commission. He would consider t point, and give his opinion on Wednesdays Hi Lordship also adverting to a statement of Mr. Bryant that he had suffered some inconvenience from th ' non-attendance of the Commissioners, said that thi • was very wrong, and hoped he should hear of n suck complaints for the futore4 The case stands over till Wednesday marring: COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEBRUARY t. Mr. Justice daose took his seat on the Bench ti the usual hour, and was occupied till near th , o'clock id hearing justification of bail. None of tl other Judges came down to the Court, and no oth business was done. as rTINOS AT GUILDHALL BRIORI LORD LLLENDOROODIE, i ANA A SPECIAL PORT. W/LSOIL AND OTHERS v. RYMER AND OTHERS. This was a case of considerable conseqiience to the mercantile world. The Plaintiffs, as ownets of the ship Harmotty, brought the action to recover a sum of between twit and three thousand pounds, for the freight of goods brought in their ship from one of the West-Indie Islands to the port of London, in the year 1810.. The ship was freighted in this voyage q the firm of Williams and Wilson, and to them the cargo was consigned. About the time of the ship's arrival they indorsed the bills of lading to Kymer and M'Taggarr, the defendants, who were then in advance to them; above £lOO,OOO, upon this and other cargoes. Ky mer and *Taggart landed the goads at the Custom, House in their own names, but they were entered in the books of the West-India Dock Company, in the names of Williams and Wilson, the consignees ; and i by an order from Williams and Wilson, were after. wards transferred to the defendants, who sold them, and applied the proceeds in reduction of the debt due i to them from the consignees. Messrs. PARKE, MAILRYATT and CAMPBELL, called a number of witnesses to show that under these cir..l cumstances Kymer and *Taggart were liaSle fori the freight of the goods ; that it is customary for Mel persons who enter and land cargoes in this n annetn to pay the freight, although the ship be chartered' to another party ; and tha: the Defendants had them.'' selves before paid freight upon similar occasions. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL and Mr. PULLER, on the other side, proved that the, Plaintiffs had demanded k the freight from Williams and Wilson, and had proved it under a commission of bankruptcy, after- wards taken out against them, and contended, that the defendants merely stood in the situation of broe kers, who ctid not render themselves liable for freight' by landing the goods; that the Captain ought to' have detained the goods for the freignt, and that if i the doctrine contended for by the Plaintiffs should' succeed, no purchaser of goods would be secure' against a demand for freight. . Lord ELLENBOROUGH lett it to the Jury upon the usage of trade, whether they would infer a promise by the defendants to pay the freight, as they had real ceived the cargo after the bills of lading had been in. ' cloned to them, and when they were not merely bro. hers, but beneficially interested in the goods. Verdict for the Plainti ff s for their whole deman d. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FEBRUARY 1. This Court was wholly occupied to-day in hearing the justification of bail. A young man, who represented himself to be a . ' Clerk to an Engraver, offered to become bail in a ease where his employer was one of the parties.. Mr. Serjeant BEST said, that an Engraver's Cierk was certainly a situation in which a man could not with much propriety give himself the title and des signation of Gentleman, which, as it appeared, the present bail had assumed. He would therefore subz mit to their Lordships, that an Engraver's servant was not admissible as bail under the designation of.a Gentleman. On the other hand, it was maintained that the Court of King's Bench, ccnceivies the pubic had ' not agreed by what pal ticular designatic a to recog nize a person in the present bait's situation, had per mitted him to become bail, and lad ordered the ob.. jection to be recorded for the purpose of being an* swered on another day. Mr. Justice Hederet, however, held the objection ' raised by Mr. Serjeant Best to be good and pro,ne, and refused ID admit the person to !Account bail.
