Deeds; the Law relating to Trustees, awl the mode of changing them ; the practice relating to Estate Bills, and the possibility of creating a jurisdiction to render them unnecessary ; and the rules of Courts of Equity relating to election, the defective execution of powers, and constructive notice—rules apparently formed on . principles of justice, and often efficacious in furtherance of right, but requiring, we think, to be reviewed, from the subtleties, uncertainties, and lengthened litigation to which they inevitably give rise. There are probably many other important subjects within the scope of our Commission which have not yet occurred to us. but which we may hope to reach in the progress of a systematic inquiry. We are conscious of the difficulties which we have to encounter in these various researches; but we shall pro ceed to fulfil your Majesty's commands to the hest of our ability, in the humble hope that our efforts may be conducive to the public good. We humbly submit this our First Report to your Majesty's Royal consideration. JOHN CAMPBELL (LS) WILLIAM HENRY TINNEY. (La) JOHN HODGSON. (L&) SAMUEL DUCKWORTH. (LS.) PETER BELLINGER BRODIE. (LS.)

Some changes have taken place in the management of this Paper, which, it is confidently hoped, will secure the public approbation. In announcing these, the PROPRIZTORS do not feel it at all necessary to make any declaration of principles, in the strict sense of the term: nevertheless, they think this a proper opportunity to state, that they come for ward is a pure and liberal spirit, fettered by no party, though certainly favouring the remains of one, which it was once equally popular and patriotic to uphold. Concerning this Party they have elsewhere given their opinion at greater length—and perhaps with keener animadversion—than comports with the equanimity of these explanations. But they are not bound, nor do they belong, to any set of men whatever; and it is only in consideration that the body alluded to yet contains within its pale some shining and uncorrupt individuals —a nucleus of redeeming purity—that they permit themselves to mention it for a moment. Higher— incalculably higher—is the errand on which they start; yet if, in the discharge of their great advocacies, they find themselves side by side with men whom the people have ceased to count upon as their natural auxiliaries, their satisfaction will be proportionate to the surprise. From their youth upwards, the writers of this an nouncement have always attached themselves to that scheme of Government which has seemed to them to unite the greatest administrative purity with the sound est views of practical improvement. During the last twelve years they have lent to soch principles of policy no feeble advocacy through the press. To the Ltvsa- POOL Administration—of whichLordCASTLIRZAOII was the master-spring and informing spirit—they were con scientiously and consistently opposed : but when, at the death of this public scourge, Mr. CANNING suc ceeded in the Foreign Department, they felt that the dissolution of an arbitrary system was ensured• —lt would be superfluous, after this avowal, to dwell on the animation and cordiality with which they hailed at a later epoch the accession of that great man to the helm, and the anticipations which they formed for the country. They were blighted in their very formation by his death in the midst of his in valuable plans—but the conviction that his enlightened views will yet be realized, is strengthening more and more. The impulse which has been communicated to the popular mind must force it onward—the embank ments of prejudice are thrown down. The writers of this article have not been inattentive spectators of the secessions which have lately taken place. Among these, the separation of Lord BLANOPORD from the high Tory league has afforded infinite setup fiction. It would be presumptuous in them to coPytc tare even, how far—in their general views—they will be likely to coincide with the Noble Marquis in his new character: but their impression is, that they may travel far togither. It is true, the unconditional adoption of Roman Catholics into the Legislature of this Protestant empire, appears to have alarmed him into some original reflection of his own, and aroused in him a deep anxiety, left it may be turned to the detriment of the State. But the law is passed, the innovation is introduced: the business is to guard, now, the Constitution—such as it remains. It is true, also, that the abolitions which the Noble Marquis aivocar.s, might still encounter—as Ili& they hitherto did—his hereditary hostility, and that his friendliness to ameliorations has been contingent upon his terror at one liberal measure. But he has stretched forth his hind to the Reformers; the writers of this note are of that class--and they take it, though many have rejected it. It is no time now to coquet with true men, and examine too curiously if they exhibit the criteria of party. The •iews which the PROPRIETORS entertain of domestic government, are liberal : they will never sup port measures which tend to abrogate the freedom of the subject. In like manner, their opinions on foreign policy will be bottomed on the soundest principles of liberality; encouraging free trade, and all those inter national reciprocities which foster amity, and diminish the chances of collision. With regard to the mechanical appearance of the Paper,. arrangements are in progress, which the PRO• Pal non hope will render it worthy of public favour: and until the completion of these, they look for the public indulgence.

SNARL rain. 55 20 40 39; 83 84 83 131 Brazilian United Me:leas Having from the very commencement of the pending contest between Russia and Turkey, regarded it as a struggle between civilization and bar barisrn,— between 4 first-t ate military Power with vast resources, on one side, and a people who have in reality made but little progress in European tactics, on the other—it will excite no wonder that we have all along anticipated the final triumph of Russia. The recent defeat of the Gaa.ser Vann, in the disastrous extent of which we firmly believe, only tends to strengthen our first impressions; nor shall we be surprised, if it is followed by a succes sion of other victories. Be this as it may, the mo ment has surely arrived when the doubts so generally entertained relative to the intended policy of Ministers, should be dispelled by some measures of a more decided character. Up to the present hour, we have rather favoured the objects of Russian ambition, than opposed any check to it, even by exercising those rights which the most obvious construction of international la* fully justified. It was, for instance, a palpable error to suffer the Autocrat to renew his belligerent rights in the Me diterranean after he had so formally renounced them; but when this was followed by the blockade of the Dar danelles and adjacent coasts—a measure of incalculable injury to British commerce—no consideration on earth ought to have prevented Government from declaring itself at once. The recognition of this unprecedented blockade will be a stumbling-block to the WELLINGTON Cabinet while it exists, and leave a deep stain on the national dignity long after its dissolution. Taking it for granted, as we do, that nothing but direct interference can stop the career of Russia towards those gigantic projects which, according to the most able writers of the day, may threaten the liberties of Europe at no distant period, we trust that a firm—nay, a peremptory tone—will be adopted without further delay. There are two modes of opposing the Colossus of the North: force on one side—negotiation on the other. With respect to the first alternative, it can per haps only be avoided by such a demonstration as would convince Russia that she had nothing to hope from making an active enemy of this country. As to new*. ciation, much may be done by the employment of able diplomatists : but they must be men of English feelings —not apprentices in the school of MITTERNICH. On the subject of Greece, our policy has been so extra ordinary, that it is utterly impossible to account for the motives by which we have been actuated. One of Mr. CANNING'S convictions was, that Russian aggrandise ment could not be more effectually checked than by the establishment of a strong Government in Greece, and the extension of its territory to its natural limits. There is something so clear and self•evident in this reasoning of the lamented Minister, that it would be a waste of time to offer a single word in its illustration. And yet, the entire of our present system seems to be diametrically opposed to •this principle. It is a fact which should never be lost sight of, that the Greek people had from the/very outset of fheir struggle, looked to England as their natural protectress. Lord Am- , DERN has only to search among t'le archives of his de partment, to find numerous proofs of this assertion. When, however, they considered themselves on the point of being abandoned, a person who has since been re garded—we fear too justly—as a creature of Russia, was called to the Presidency. It would be a libel on the people of Greece, to suppose for a moment that they laid aside their natural predilections when they agreed to this nomination. It was the result of sheer necessity. We are now enabled to state thit CAPo d'lsrataa, so far from having conciliated the people who conferred on him the honours of Supremacy, has, either by his par tiality to his old masters, or notorious inefficiency in the science of Government, made himself ex• tremsly unpopular. It is now universally acknow. ledged by the Greeks themselves, that to be constituted as a nation, they ought to possess a more capable head: and there is no doubt but an approximation to the monarchical system would be hailed as a signal blessing by the whole country. We therefore call upon the Dugs and his colleagues to reconsider the Greet question, on the principle laid down by Mr. CANNING. We repeat it: the best way of opposing Russia, so far as negotiation is concerned, is to take immediate steps for rendering Greece powerful and independent. This is the tree interest of England; and, to crown all, it is in pc:Get accordance with the principles of humanity aid justice! The Speech of the Brazilian EMPEROR, on the opening of the Legislative Assembly on the 3d of May, will excite considerable interest. His Majesty an nounces to the Chambers that he has ratified a Treaty of Commerce and Navigation with the King of Den mark—concluded an especial conveition ss ith the King of France—and settled the preliminaries of peace with the Government of Rio de la Plata. He then speaks of his " beloved daughter, the reigning QUEEN of Portugal." Anxious to watch over her interests, he had resolved that she should go to Europe, where she arrived after the usurpation of the Crown. The Imperial Parent thus proceeds:—" Nothing has been decided with respect to this usurpation, as the tranquillity and interests of this Empire demanded my sole care ; hut / am equally firm, in not compromising the interests of my daughter." Here, then, is language, which at once sweeps away all the scandalous insinua tions, that Don Puna° would come to arrangements with MIGUEL : language, which covers with shame that jesuit paragraph about " reconciling conflicting in terests," which has been palmed upon us—at the insti gation of Austrian councils—as a sentiment of the King of ENGLAND. But the interests of Donna MARIA will not be "reconciled" after that fashion. STAR OFFICE, HALF-PAST THREE O'CLOCK. At this hour, just as we were going to Piess, Berlin and Dutch Papers were receiveJ, containing the fol- lowing news trom the theatre of war : NEWS FROM THE THEATRE OF WAR. BERLIN, Julia 27. Report of the Commander• in Chief of the second army, to his Majesty the Rmperor, dated from the camp at the villap of Ma dara , frd 04th) of June— " My report of the 12th of June has acquainted your Majesty, that after the Grand Vizier bad been defeated in the defiles at Kulawtsebo on the 11th of June, 1 resolved, in order to profit by thin glorious victory, not only promptly to pursue the enemy's army, but also to hinder, as far as possible, the return of the remainder of it to Schumla. To this end, the corps of General Count Pablen was every when to pursue the enemy, and General Kuprianoff to oppose him on his Sight on the side of Pravadi. The corps of General Roth, to which the third division of Hussars was added, advanced on the 11th of June by way of Ka. sepia towards Maras ; and it was ordered that General Rodiger, with his vanguard, gravid extend his line along the Namschlk, and send strong detachments towards Kski Stamboul and Kostesy. Count Pahko announced that the enemy bad not reached the village of Markowce, but had left the road and turned to the right, in the direction of Sankow, by by-roads which were accessible only to infantry and cavalry. As the division of Major General Koptianoff had showed itself near the village of Markowce.tbeCotent left the pursuit of the enemy to him, and returned to the position occupied by the army. On this ground General Pahien found the road covered with such a quantity of abandoned baggage, ammu nition waggons, and arms, that it was difficult to make his way through them. The Reports of Major General Kuprianoff say the same. In his pursuit of the enemy be found still worse roads, 30 that a line of 20 wersts presented the appearance of a total rout of the enemy's army. Prisoners are constantly brought in. Many 410- lions of the regular troops throw away their arms, and give them selves up to the generosity of the conquerors. While General Roth, according to my orders, was proceeding towards Maras, be perceived a division of about one thousand five hundred of the enemy's cavalry on the road to the village of Kasapla at Kurganek, where the redoubt No. 26 stood. He immediately detached Lieutenant General Prince Madatow, who covered his right wing, with the regiments of Huuars Alex ander and Astrachan, and artillery, against the enemy, and if pos sible to cut *this retreat toSchumla ; while thelst Regiment received orders, with two pieces of horse artillery, to attack the enemy in front. He executed these orders with his usual intrepidity. He attacked and dispersed the enemy, and took two standards. In his rapid pursuit, he came to an enemy's redoubt, and was received by the fire of two cannon and musketry. However, be made the Hussars and other cavalry dismount, attacked the redoubt, and made himself master of it in a moment, as well as of the guns and two standards. Only a naafi part of the garrison of this re doubt was able to escape to another that was near. This was also attacked by the brave Hussars, who were, however, obliged to retreat, because there were above four hundred infantry, with three guns, in it. Meanwhile General Roth arrived on the field, and as the Turks answered the personal summons of Prince Medatoff with a shower of balls, a fire was opened upon it at a distance of less than 200 paces, and the two regiments brought by General Roth attacked it with the bayonet. The opera lion was executed to a moments we took the redoubt with the 'three guns and standards in it. The garrison was put to the sword. The loss of the enemy was 600 killed, five gess, and twelve standards. The seal of our troops in this rapid and decisive operation is not to be described. General Moraview was the first who took the standard of a Pacha. Prince Madatow was every where the first on the way to victory, and all those under him followed his example. During the engagement, General Rudiger, with the 18th Re giment, and lid Regiment of Helens, continued his march towards Maras, whither other troops of General Roth proceeded after the battle. We had about 100 killed and wounded. I have the pleasure of 'ending to your Majesty at the same time the 16 standards taken in the battles of the 11th and 12th of June. (Signed) ADJUTANT-GEN.

The Bro. • sell Papers are almost wholly occupied with the detail of the KING'S journey through the southern provinces, enlarging, of course, on the enthusiasm with which his MAJESTY is received. It will be perceived that Russia is busy cultivating the friendship of. the rude 1130116. taineers of Tarki and the Caucasus. Of the operations before Silistria, and the hopes entertained of pe4ce Constantinople, there are some interesting notices. Th e plague still rages in the Principalities. The follow, g are extracts: PETERSBURG H, Jinn 17. Letters from Tiflis of the 15th of May announce that Prince Cbosrew Mirsa was immediately to leave that city to proceed to St. Petersburgb. It has been observed for some time past that the warlike tribes inhabiting the north east coast of the Caucasus be. - come much more peaceable, and meet the beneficent endeavours of our Government to bring them to a state of civilization. A great number of the oldest of the Tschetscitenzes, among whom is the notorious Beibutat one of the boldest adventurers of the Caucasus, have lately. as a proof their submission, requested for their Chief the Shantschal of Tarki, who has long been a subject of Russia.— Mehti Chan Shantschal of Tarki has received the consent of our Government to come to this capital. and will soon arrive at St. Petersburgh. This Prime. whose domains are the most consider. able in Dagbestan, and who has great influence over the Princes of the mountaineers in his vicinity, has always been remarkable for his unshaken fidelity to Russia, and has the rank of Lieutenant. General in our army. The Province of Tarki has recognized the sovereignty of Russia ever since the first half of the 17 th century; and Czar Michael Feodorowitsch, the first Sovereign of the House of Romaoo, gave the first investiture to the Shanne.hal in 1638. ODESSA, Jews 10. The Russians set at liberty by the Sultan, who have been brought hither by a Sardinian and an Austrian ship, are four superior Officers, two Ensigns, and 106 privates. Nobody here knows the Sultan's reasons for setting them at liberty. As far as we can learn, one of his favourites visited, in the beginning of May, the Russian prisoners of war, who are in the Prince's island, and told them that the Sultan intended to restore them all to liberty. Seen after. wards the same person returned, selected the above-mentioned individuals, and told them they were to go oo board vessels ready to convey them to Odessa. At the same time, be informed those who were left behind that they too would soon have their liberty. On their departure, no questions were put to the prisoners, nor were any promises whatever required of them.—Praissien Slate Gazette, Jane 26. FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, Joys 6. Greek merchants at Belgrade have letters from Coaseandnopk, which say a great deal about the mission of the Persian Ambassador to the Porte. He is said to have travelled from Teheran to Scu• tart in ten days; from which it is inferred that his mission is im. portan sift t. He immediately bad an audience of the Reis Effendi; "- and er it was over, dispatched a courier to his Court. We hear that the Shah much regrets having concluded an unfavourable peace with Russia, and does not intend to keep it ; that he is therefore endeavouring to gain friends, and his Ambassador to the Porte is to endeavour to gain its support. The Divas Is said not to be averse to an alliance with Persia • but the el- • puled arrival of the French and English Ambassad ors hinders it from giving at present a decisive answer to the proposals of Persia, as the Porte attaches great importance to the renewal of the friendly relations with the English Cabinet, and will do nothing I without its advice. This is said to have been the spirit of the answer of the Reis Effendi to the Persian Ambassador. It was affirmed at Constantinople that great preparations for war were making in Persia, which divided the attention of Gen. Paskewitsch, i so that be would not be able to prosecute his campaign against the Turks with the same energy u the last. The Sultan is said to be • greatly satisfied with the proceedings of the Grand Vista hitherto, , but to have given him positive orders to drive the Russians from Bischoff. it being very disagreeable to him to have the enemy so , near the capital. The Padta of Belgrade has received a large remittance of money. BUCHAREST, Jose 9. Though the plague has not spread since the Sth, all the shops and the markets are closed, and all communication made with the greatest precaution. News is received from Galan that the plague has also manifested itself there. As the Russian hospitals are in that town, and the communication between Wallachia and the I coasts of the Black Sea puns through it, this is a melancholy cir cumstance for us. From Saluda, though only • few days journey from us, we have nothing certain to add to the news lately com municated. FRONTIERS OF MOLDAVIA, Jule 11. Nobody remembers such a summer as this. All the rivers in the Bennet bun overflowed their banks. On the 4th the rivers had risen to a dreadful height, and for these two days past the mammalm have been Umered with snow as In the midst of winter. We hear that the plague is not only in the villages in the principa. lidos, but in the towns, and in some of the Russian regiments and depots. The Governors of Hirchova and Issalitcha, where there are large hospitals, have fallen victims to their zeal in the service. These distresses are Increased by the state of the weather for some months past. For the last fortnight the rain has poured down in torrents. All the rivers over flow, and it is feared that the Danube may greatly impede the siege of Silistria. Reports of all kinds are in circulation respecting several sallies of the Turks at Silistria, 0 from 23d May to 2d June. They are said to fight with desperate courage. It was reported the day before yesterday at Jassy, that the Grand Vizier, after a sanguinary action near Pravadi, bad re- ' turned to &huinla, and detached armed parties in all directions to intercept the communications of the Russians. FRONTIERS OF WALLACHIA. June 8. It is reported that the Grand Vizier bad sent from his camp at Schumla 25,000 men to Pravadi,and occupied that place. by which the communication with Varna and the corps before Silistria was interrupted,—the Turkish cavalry scouring the country as far as Varna, and disturbing the communications with Kovarna. The Grand Vizier is said to be making great preparations to relieve Silistria, and to have already sent a park of artillery on the road. The garrison of Silistria makes frequent sallies, and is said to have stormed a Russian battery some days ago, after a severe contest; and, having spiked the guns, returned into the place. The loss on both sides is described to be great—however. we have no official accounts of these events.—Letters from Warsaw say, that the Polish army still wishes to take part in the campaign egoista the Turks • but there are circumstances which prevent this wish being complied with; It least this year.-41gemeiste &stung, .hreer BRUSSELS, JUNK 30.

"TO TUX AUOUST AND UOSLX Or TIII BILAMUM6III NATION. "At the closing of the extraordinary Meeting, I ennoonced to the Assembly that our alliances remained entire and unaltered. The best noderstandinp continue between me and the Sovereigns of Europe, and the States of the Continent of America. Heave ratified a treaty of commerce and navigation with the King of Denmark,an additional Article has been added to the Treaty of 11126, concluded with t►e King of France, and an especial Convention has been concluded with the same Sovereign; and I have concluded the Preliminaries of Peace with the Government of Rio de is Plata. Our Secretary of State is empowered to ratify these sets. Anxious toswatch over the interests of my beloved daughter, the reigning Queen of Portugal, I resolved that she should go to Europe, where she arrived after the usurpation of her Crown. Nothing has been decided with respect to the usurpation, as the tranquillity and In. (crests of this Empire demanded my sole care; but I am equally firm in not compromising the interests of my daughter. The perfect tranquillity of the Provinces of the Empire also required my utmost attention, for in Pernambuco a re►ellion had raised Its bead. I was compelled to take extraordinary measures for restoring the Government to a sound state and to preserve our religion. I shall ever take measures to defend the form of Government established under a Constitutional Monarchy. a The abuse of the liberty of the Press has Increased, to the scandal of the Empire—it demands the most serious attention of the Assembly to repress the evil, from which the most fatal resoles may be expected. The state of the Empire will continue to demand your most particular care, and I hope you will employ yourselves with equal solicitude to the prosperity of the Brazils.
