His Royal Highness the PRINCE SOVEREIGN of the United Netherlands has been pleased to appoint ED WARD S. OMMANNEY, Esq. of North Yarmouth, has Consul at that Port. _ A Gentleman now in France writes thus to his i friend t—" Could you believe it—could any rational I creature suppole, after all France has suffered, and When a paternal and legitimate Government is re stored to them, that a feeling in favour of the Ty rant should exist amongst the people ? Grieved to the soul am I to say, that it but coo true. In Nor bandy, and in the Pas de Calais, where, in former days, I knew them so loyal And attached to their rod Xing, they speak openly in favour of Bo naparte ; even here ( Rouen), which suffered so many privations by the war, in the most shameful and barefaced manner, deplore his downfall. I think I can trace this base feeling to its source ; wounded pride is the cause ; the idea of having been conquered makes them frantic. At a table where I dined, the day before yesterday, the conversation turned on the Allied Sovereigns. I took occasion to praise their anildness ; when a man at the lower end of the table 'nattered in a sarcasticunder tone, "Yes, mild enough for Conquerors, hat if the Emperor had not been be. trayett by rascals, they would not have had that title They did not claim that title," replied I, " r or act as it they coosidered themselves conquerors."

SWEDISII BULLETIN. • —77-- " His Niaiegur, ntsv beloved Sovereign, had long !since taken t he resolution to revive atnong the officers and crews of tit' fleet, the remembrance of the deeds Hof arms which his presence , light to inspire. After ftavitigbreakfasted with his Royal Highnessthe Crown Prince, his Majesty went On board the Gustaathe ' Great, at StrornsinAt. '• as Royal Highness removed his headquarters from Stromstadt to Swinesund—all was in motion. " On die 3d of August, General Sandels, com manding the first division of the 2d corps, pushed his reconnoitring paviies as far as Ingedahlen. Colonel Bergholtz, who was employed in this service, fen in with some battalions of the enemy, accompanied with cavalry, nestr Ingedahlen Church, and drove them hack to Gus'tond. We lost a serjesnt, who was killed, and Lieutenant Baron Sporra, and nine men "ere %roundel. The enemy's loss was much more considot able. . " The (Admiral in Chief, Baron Puke, who had received orders from the Crown Prince to attack Kra gero, made the following dispositionk: • " General Count Gustavus Morner landed on the west coast of the island, with two thousand foot, sup ported by, a division of -gun-boats and their crews, under Colonel Wirsen. Colonel Hay landed on the east coast, with one thousand infantry, supported by Colonel Brunkrona, with a division of gun-boats and part of their crews. Lieutenant-Colonel Nordenskeold, with the officers, volunteers, and seamen of the fleet, landed on toe south coast, supported by the small armed vessels of the fleet. After a slight resistance the enemy fell back. FreJerickstadt was summoned. " On the refusal of the Commandant, Major Kier ker threatened the fortress with a division of gun boats and two bomb vessels, which kept up a fire upon it till the evening " After a cannonade of an holr and a half, the re doubt Huth, and a battery on Kr .gero, surrendered. Captain Elfwing, of the fleet, threw the first ball into the redoubt, m which - were found 8-pounders. " The battery on Kragero was occupted by Lien tenant Timer of t..e fleet, who rornmanded the line of chasseurs on the shore. We round there . three pieces of cannon, and in both places a great qaantity of am munition and other effects. Lieutenant-Colonel Baror Cederbtroin was detached to su tnmon the &s -tress of Frederickstein ; but the Commandant re fusing to surrender, Major Trolle's division of bomb vessels and gun-boats opened a fire upon the fortress. Every precaution was taken not to injure the town; but the strong current making it impossible to throw the bombs with precision, some fell into the town, but fortunately without doing much damage. The bomb vessels of Frederickshall lost one man killed, and seven wounded. "'On the 4th of August his Royal Highness re moved his head.quarters to Westgardon. Reports heibg / received that an enemy's force, of 5 or 6000 men, was approaching from Kjol, to attack General Vegisack, who blockaded Frederickshall. His Royal Highness immediately repaired to Berg, to view the General's position, and reconnoitre the place. General Vegic4ck received feelers, supported by some batta lions of General Boye's division, to advance against ,the enemy, and drive him back to Raekestadt. This 'norning early General Vegisack was in possession of Kjol and Glumsero. " The Commandant of Frederickstadt desiring to capitulate, Admiral Puke, with his Majesty's permis sion, sent Colonel Kleist, Flag-Captain of the fl et, and Colonel Skioldebrand, to settle the conditions, which being concluded between these Commissioners and the Commandant Lieutenant-Colonel Hiels, were ratified by his Majesty. . 44 At seven brittle evening, Swedish troops entered Frederickstadt and Kongsteen. The garrison con sisting of fifteen hundred or two thonsand m•n, was 'nett made prisoners of war. They were deluded, who renouncing their false notions. gave themselves up to 'their lawful King. They have receives permission to return to their homes. One hundred pieces of can non, and provisions for six weeks, were loand in the fortress. Frederickshall commands the passage over the' Glommen, and is the key of Christiana. The The Sseedish flag is flying on its walls, but instead of that the 'Swedish and Norwegi In flags are to be planted there, its a symbol of the union of the two nations. 11 There, as in the other parts in the possession of our trnopsohe inhabitants unequivocally expressed their joy at the arrival of the Swedes, and their hopes that their union with Sweden will put an end to their long sufferings.. 61 Evil-minded persons, enemies to the repose of the North, had spread a report, that the people of Norway hated the Swedes; but, since the entrance of our army into Norway. every day has furnished re peated proofs of the falsehood of this assertion. " The Swedish soldier, naturally brave and hu mane, lives with the Norwegian peasants and soldiers as with his brethren. They visit us in our camp as old friends. Our troops bivouac amidst the heads of the peaceable peasant, who sees his property re spected, and with joy and gratitude acknowledges that his happiness coincides with his duty. " Those who have endeavoured to irritate the people against the Swedes are deserving of condign punishment. Descended from one common stock, Sweden and Norweirians will from henceforward 'form but one family, and shame and regret will be the lot of those who tread under foot the most indis putable rights and the most sacred dutiei. Gottruburgb, August 2." A Female liiinthigton;ast being asked her opinion of Johanna Southcote, said, she thought she was pate all bearing. The failure of the prophecies of Johanna Southeoto, have no effect whatever in opening the eyes of her deluded votaries. On one occasion she prognosti cated the death of her own falser at a precise period. She had some chance to be right, for the man was above 70 years of age, and his death was daily ex.' pected ; but, as if in spite to the prophetess, he long survived the appointed period. To confirm her dis ciples, a miracle was announced to be performed on a certain day. A corpse was to be raised to lite. The Devil. however, in the shape of Wortley, an Officer of the Union , Hall Office, interposed and spoiled the effect, by proposing, that the dead man should first be stabbed with a dagger. The corpse, perhaps, not liking such a process, got aft and ran away, to the great ,istouishment of Ole cungregation. L4Of INTELLIC4tVCX. • COURT, OF.OfIANCE4Y, AUL:U4'I' se. PRIVATE Al AD-lIQUSE. 10C-PA LInDREY. Mr. HART stated, that he was desired by Doctor Sutherland, and others, who his Lordship directed a Itukas Corpus to he served on, to ptilduce Mr. Lim brey, who had been stated to be of sound mind, and confined against his will at a private receptacle for lunatics, called Fisher's Hottie, Islington, kept by Mr. Barstaple, under the inspection of Dr. Suther land. His Lordship would recollect the order only issued on Saturday, and was not served until a late hour the same night ; that his clients had not had time to get copies of the affidavits which the Halms Corpus had been grounded on ; there might be seve ral allegations in them, which it might be necessary for hid clients to answer. Mr. Limbrey was at Fi sher's House, which was not far off, and might be brought up at any time. He trusted that his Lord- I ship would grant time to answer the affidavits. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, it was the paramount duty of the Court, when they found a person of sound mind confined against his will, to enlarge him. Mr. HART.—" But your Lordship will find he is of that sound mind before you discharge him. We .cannot get a copy of the affidavits before to-morrow morning." - - The LoRD,CtrANCeLLOR.—" I am to take him of sound mind and confined against his will, tor it is sworn to : let him be brought up on Wednesday.— I do not go so far as to say that I would discharge him without inquiiing into his state of mind." Ma. I-Ltnr.-4 , We do not know what the affi. 'davits contain, and will not be able to answer them' by Wednesday." The LORD CHANCELLOR." Let the party mak ing the application shew them to you. This is a case that every unnecessary expense ought to be spared. If I was to suggest any thing, I would say the Lord Chief Justice and several of the other • - Judges are in town, and at present have more leisure than I have." To be brought up on Wednesday. UUMTH IN THE MATTER OF SIR JEREMIAH HUM PHREY, A BANKRUPT. •_ _ _ Sir SAMURL RObIILLY stated, this was the Petition of Dr. Griffith, praying that the Commission of Bankruptcy might be superseded, or otherwise that the Assignees of Sir Jeremiah Humphrey might be ordeted to fulfil the agreement betweeo him and the Petitioner, and to pay up all arrears of rent due with interest. The Petition' set forth that the Petitioner granted a lease to the Bankrupt of a colliery in Gla• morganshire, for 99 years, on condition that all coals from the colliery sl:ou:s1 pass through the Plaintiff's canal, for which they wore to pay a certain toll, since which trine the Petitioner had completed the horse way of the canal, which cost him ail 5,r)00. Sir Je remiah getting tired of his a:ffeement, wanted to get rid of it by a commission <u bankruptcy being issoed against him, that the Assignees might be able to sea linquish it. For !!t purpose he got a person of the name of Rees to strike a docket againt.t him, who was not a Creditor, further than being in possession 1 of a bill of the Bankrupt's for 4200. payable at sight, which was given to him for the purpose ; that. Rees was appointed assignee under the commiasinn ; that when the colliery was put up to sale there was no bivider; that the Bankrupt had . never committed any act of bankruptcy ; that he had a life interest in se;1500 per annum ; that his other property amount ed to £13,000, besides an expectancy of £9OOO, and all the debts he owed • in the world did not amount to more than £5OOO. The petitioner proveo a debt of £3OO under the commission ; but was informed by the . Commissioners, if he did do so, it would be no bar to the superseding of the commission. The Learned Counsel contended, there were sufficient in the affidavits, in answer to this petition, to prove that there was no nec'ssity for the issuing ofthe, commission. Mr. Rees, in his affidavit, denied that it was a con certed commission— but admits that he had once said, jocularly, to SirJeretniah, that the best thing for him would be to be made a bankrupt of, to get rid of his incumbrances, and also to be 'shire-washed of the lease of the colliery. Rees also alledged, that he sold the bankrupt a piece of ground fur £9OO, which he himself had purchased froth a person of the name of Meaks, who was pressing him for the• purchase money, and had only given him to a day in Novem ber t ,, pay it. The bankrupt gave him £7OO in cash, and his note on the Sth of September, payable at sight, for £2OO, ansi immediately takes out the com mission of bankruptcy—and this, he says, without having made any communication to the bankrupt. —He (the Learned Counsel) would ask, hovi Rees could demand the £2OO on the note, before the deed was made over to the bankrupt ? He could not, transfer it, for it was in Meak's possession. Could any person shut their eyes against this transaction, and say it was not a concerted bankruptcy ? It was not. found even necessary to ;ell all the wine that was in the bankrupt's house, to pay the debts under the commist'ain, as there was 100 dozen left unsold. It was not even pretended there was any act of bank , . ruptcr committed by the bankrupt. Under these considerations, he trusted that his Lordship would grant the prayer of the Petition. Mr. Cooke followed on the same side. Mr. Lanett, Counsel for the Assignees, contended that the prayer of the petition onelit not to he grant ed, on the ground that Rees had sworn most posi tively that the commission had not been taken nut by collusion ; he was pressed for money by Meaks ; in June he was arrested by him, who 0 - .tve him until November to pay it. He then sold the land to Sir Jeremiah for ,E UO, who was to give . him all cash ; but being disappointed in the payment of the £`ZOO, he struck the docket against him, and issued out the Commission. His Lordship would recollect, that the Bankrupt had obtained his certificate. His client had no objection that his Lordship would direct an iasue to try the question at law. The LORD CUANCILLOR—" Is it sworn when the note for 0200 was signed ?" Mr. LEACH-1 1 6 It is not, my Lord." Mr. CULLKN and Mr. MoNrisoue followed on the same side, and contended, that it was a question his Lordship could not decide without first having the opinion of a Jury. • Sir SAMURL RoMau.Y replied, and observed, that since the year 1809, the canal on purpose for the col lery had cost the Petitioner £15,000. The 13,ink rupt's in the colliery had been put up to atm tinny and purchased by the Bankrupt's son for eon, and since that it had been , assigned over to A pauper. If there ever %%as a case that called for his interfe rence this' was one. The Lonn CU/own-um —fi I desire to have an aft.- davit *hell the contract was executed, and when the. .note to Recs WAS signed " Mr. LCACII" the original contract is lost." The Lotto Cum.:m.l,mi •-"• The witor = is not ; let him make an affidavit to those facts, and also lit him inform me on what priced st tnip the agreemelt was executed on ; until this is done, let the Petition stand' at the bottom of the list." Further consideration postponed. Bow-STREET.— RonnERY OF TIIEHERTFORD CO/Leff. —Yesterday IV.
