He Married the youngest daughter of the late Duke of La Foens, natural grandson of the King Don Pedro 11. and uncle of queen Maria the First, who died at Rio Ja neiro in 1817. he paid one posta on account of the purchase-money, and from that time to this - not it farthing more had ever been got from him. The honest Clergyman, being a quiet and well-di-posed man (as Mr. MALI) quaintly stated), and having been sickened with this suit, he bad a great desire never to be a party to another Chancery suit, but was most anxious to get out of this one, that he. might die in peace. He bad found that he had as little chance with Lawyer Simon Payne, as he would have with a tiger, if he had met it in a f orest. The Learned Gentleman went through the different proceedings in the cause, and then hoped the present motion would be dismissed with costs. 'IL OF MONDAY. " LOAolg, JOLT IS. PROCLIMATTON. PORTVOUIVIM—The Regency of the Kingdom is about to relieve you from satiety, and to fit your at tention upon decrees which interest you generally, and which his-most faithful Majesty, Don Pedro the Fourth, has designed to issue from his Court at Rio Janeiro.— With these decrees will be also published the Constitu tional Charter of the Portugue,e Monarchy, which the same Sovereign has designed to decree, and which, ac- cording to his intentions, must be sworn to by the three orders of the stare, in order that it may govern the Kingdom of Portugal and its Dependencies. In the mean time the Regency informs you that this ;barter differs essentially from tJae Constitution produced by in. fatuation in 1822, and which contained principles incom-. patible with e tch other, 'and condemned by experience. —The character of the Constitutional Charter which ;mom ilia "It is said that General Alava, the friend of the .

He had been in Salisbury gaol for a great many years. He had conveyed this very estate away for the beatific of his creditors in general ; the tru tees had entered into a contract to sell it again. and these was another cause pending in this C'm't respecticig, the very title of this estate. The Vice-Chancellor had' decreed that he should pay the purchase money, toge ther with the costs. The Master had reported the amount due, but Mr. Payne was m"st anxious to. appeal against the report, and therefore he hoped the Court would stay all proceedings till the appeal could be heard. His LORDSHIP never knew a case in which a man Wa; less entitlpt, Lo. indulgence than, J‘lr, Payne *still the. pi4setit case; Add 'would not stay the proceedings one hrur longen than giving , him the opportunity of resift ting the amount of the purchase money, together with 2001. for costs, into.the hands of the Accountant Gette r.l ; and unless that was done before the office closed, the Court should dismiss this motion with costs.

LAW REPORT. COURT OF CHANCERY, Amur: e. In the course of- yesterday two different Counsel ad dressed the Lord Chancellor, for leave to give notice of motions for injunctions. They were sorry to have had to trouble his Lordship, but the Vice-Chancellor had re fused them, saying he should not be able to get through his bankrupt petitions, and, these'ore, he should not be interrupted by any motion. His LORDSHIP was quite astonished to hear such 'statements. He should give leave to give the notices, mud desired the Gentlemen to say to the Vice Chancel lor that he desired him to hear them. He used the word desired, because he thought that the most respectful. If Gentlemen were to look at the Act of Parliament, appointing the Vice Chancellor, they would find that it was quite incompetent for him to say be should not hear anything the Chancellor pleased to order him to hear. , According to the present practice, however, he seemed to direct the Chancellor instead of the Chancellor di recting him, because his Lordship apprehended that no branch of this Court had a right to refuse to hear mo tions for injunctions at any time suitors chose to apply for them, either in or out of the vacation ; and he wouyt take the liberty of saying, that he should not suffer a . branch' of the Court to regulate his hearings either di rectly or indirectly. For the Vice Chancellor to say be should not hear an injunction motion till after he had heard the bankrupt petitions, what was that but saying that the Chancellor should hear it before he heard his, bankrupt petitions? And he should wish very much to know where the reasonableness of that was. His Lord ship would acid, if notice of motions continued to come in as thicklyas they had done lately, he would have to sit in the evening as well as in the morning. Mr. HALe did net knew when it would be over with his Lord ship, but he knew very well that it would soon be all over with his Counsel, if he sat much longer. His Loamnir did not think that killing his Counsel would be any great sin, and therefore he could not give diem much hope of a speedy cessation.

"All the letters which we receive from the Provinces agree in stating that the most lively joy has been pro duced by the Proclamation of the Constitution, and without occasioning any unpleasant occurrence, not withstanding, the rapid transition from an arbitrary to a representative Government. In the mountainous dis tricts, fires have been lighted up by the inhabitants, to signify their satisfaction in the change which bas taken place in the affairs of the country. " The choice of the new Ministry obtains the general suffrages of our best citizens. Public opinion has long been hied with respect to M. Silvestte Pinheiro Fer reira, one of the most distinguished Statesmen of the age, and who was called three times to the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, under different and difficult circum stances, by the deceased John the Sixth, who honoured him with his entire confidence. "M. Giraldes (Fernando Alphonso), the new Minister of Justice, who was niled by the faction of Bemposta, was Regidor of Justice at Oporto, under the Cortes. This is a post similar to that of First Presid2nt of a Royal court in France. He is a man of a firm and dis• Bided character, “ It is asserted that the Marquis of Palmella, who is the particular friend of th. new Minister for Foreign PAYNE V. DURRIDGIE. Mr. SHADWELL moved that proceedings in this case might be stayed until an appeal cluld be heard against what had taken place in this case. Mr. 111ALD opposed the application. Of all the bold and barefaced application he ever heard of, this bore away the bell. This was a case in which the delay that had occurred had been enormous; he had intended stating it before the Chancery Commissioner, but he afterwards thought it would overload the report too much r and therefore he abandoned his first intention. An estate was sold by the Reverend Mr. Burridge, in the country to an attorney of the name of Simon Payne; Ithe contract was entered into in 1708, and the bill was filed twenty-ode years ago. The contract was drawn by the Attorney hithtelf, and he agreed thereby to pay 4,1601. for the estate, upon entering into the contract, and having poisession delivered to him. At tbat time 'MONMOUTH, Anomie 1. Was. Powell was indicted for stealing two notes for 11. each, of the Chepstow Bank, from Andrew Watkinseat Chepstow wool fair, on the 17th of June last. The prosecutor was, it appeared, hustled, and had his pocket pick:d of the notes in question by the prisoner, who was immediately apprehended, and who offered Si. for his release, but the stolen notes were not found upon his person : he was at the time in company with others. Verdict—Gain!. The prisoner , who was known as a plapeeket, was sentenced to transportation for 14 Tsars. Richard Pr i or, Richard Wilds, and Elija& Persons, were indicted for a hi A hway robbery, on the 14th of June, upon Thomas Watkins, and stealing from him a watch, 9s. and a handkerchief. Wilds pleaded Guilt", though informed the charge was capital. Mr. Justice stated the case for the prosecution, from which it appeared that the prosecutor and prisoners had been drinking together at a public-house, at Whitchurch, in this county, on the night in question, and had gone sway together for a short distance, when they separated at a gate-the prosecutor going one way, and the pd. soners another. By a circuitous route it was possible for the parties to meet again. The evidence was unfavourable to the rhesus. Price and Parsons, in their defence, denied all knowledge of the robbery. Verdist—Oullty. Sentence of death was recorded stalest them. There were two other indictments against Wilds for robberies, but no evidence was offered in support of them.
