• ti 1• V t~ ~;. Li '1 It 1 ~iJ I' i I r ' ~~°`. 384 Votttertpt LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 27. Three oldock, p. m. The Paris Papers of Thursday last have arrived. The inteliigenc2 from Naples comes down to the 7th instant, where the greatest tranquillity prevail::, as t!lo in Sicily, but the hostile demonstrations of Austria have excited general indignation. Offerings of men, anus, and money, arc gaily made to the Neapolitan Government, by patriotic individuals and corporations. The Troppau Dictators are angry that the Revolution in Naples have been cff.cted by the military, which the diplomatic Doctors say ought to be cured by a large dose of mcr:enarics poured into the kingdom, contrary to the wishes or the ' interests of the people. This is prescribing for in dependent nations with a vengeance. Such is the sort of Reform which it is intended to egect by these Radical Sovereigns—the worthy and pacific Mem bers of the holy or unholy Alliance. The advises from Madrid are to the 4th instant. Morales, who had excited a counter-revolutionary movement in - the vicinity of Avila, has been put to flight by Count del Arisbal, who had adopted the most vigorous measures for pursuing and setting the adherents of • the rebellious Chief. Ferdinand the Seventh still remained at thi. Escurial; his health was perfectly Te•cstublished. There were lately some disturbances at Valencia, in which the people loudly clamoured for the head of Gen. Elio; nor was the Archbishop less an object of popular displeasure. Troops were sent to suppress the violence of the people. The agitators in Spain, however, who are anxious to re establish the old and hateful regime, and the infernal Inquisition, have not the most distant chance of success. Every movement they make they only prepare their own grave, and the sooner they are overwhelmed in destruction, the better for the repose of the people and the happiness of the country. The following is an extract of a letter from Ad miral Brion to a merchant in London, dated head luarters, Baranquilla, Aug. S I : " We are now in complete possession of the provinces of Carthagena and Santa Martha, with the exception of the two towns. which arc closely besieged and blockaded. That of Santa Martha will be closely invested in a few days, and not a gun, I expect, will be fired, our force being of that description which nothing cin resist; besides this, the general disposition of the inhabitants is favourable to the Columbian Government. Car thagens will fall of itsolf; the greatest anarchy exists within the walls, and the people are daily passing to our lines. The Pre sident Bolivar was here in person on the 24th and 25th, directing the motiois of the difilrent corps. The Commissioners from the Spanish Government are at the President's heed quarters, Rosario de Cucata, treating Mt peace. I expect the only difficulty in .tendering Columbia independent is, that Spain wishes to retain Panama and Portobello; but as they will be shortly in cur pus stssioa, that part of the treaty will be settled." Jamaica Gazettes to the Bth of last month have been received. They contain no local news of in terest. Intelligence received in Kingston from Curthagena, conveys the correspondence of the go. vernor of that city to the troops, on the failure of his attempt to open negotiations for peace. It ap. pears that Bolivar either was, or affected to be, highly indignant at the proposal of the Spanish governor, and his secretary penned a refusal to treat with hum in a spirited style. A Dublin paper of the 22d instant says—" Yes terday the Lord Chancellor had neither long cause, short cause, motion, nor any court business what soever; of course he and the heads of the bar, who frequent his court, and were, us himself; equally disengaged, interchanged bows, and the court broke up; some laughing, some endeavouring to laugh, and some unaffectedly grave." The Lord Mayor, with several Aldermen, and other members of the Corporation, had an interview with the Home Secretary on Saturday last, on the subject of the Queen's visit to St. Paul's, The Minister, it is said, insists that the gates shall be thrown open, and the people admitted indiscrimi nately into the church-yard, which the Lord Mayor is anxious to prevent, on account of the responsibility he has incurred, and the.additional difficulty that may thence arise of preserving order among the spectators, and of preventing any injury to the Ca thedral itself. A petiti( n hat been sent to her Majesty from the .ca•.lkers, shipbuilders, and seamen of the port of London, requesting permission to wait upon her with a joint address of congratulation, accompanied by a body of 20,000 men.

ELLIGENCE. . _~ COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WESTMINSTZR, Nov. to. THE KING V. THE EARL Or HE*TEIRATIG The Lord Lads( Jostler sat at Nisi Pries for a short space of time, and disi meta of several undefended causes. After wards the Court sat in Banco, when Mr. Scarlett moved for a rule to skew cause why a cri minal infurinatioil should not he filed against the Eail of Westmeath, for sending a message to Mr. Wood, with in tent to provoke a kcal It of the peach. From the affidavits of Mr. Wood and Mr. Steuart, it appeared that about two year, ago the former gt minium was applied to to become trustee tar the Comae.. of Westmeath, rimier the deed uf se ll:n*4lnm then about to be executed by the Earl and his Countess. Mr. wood became trustee; sad sonic time rem nants his Lordship instituted proceedings in the Court of Chanel - 11, for the purouse of setting aside that deed, is which the trustees ii etc. merely nominal defendants, nod their answers of moose ...mutely formal. But a report of what was said iu the'Court in Chancery by Mr. Wetherell, who was Counsel for Mr. Wood, when the matter came before the Lord Chancellor, being published in an Evening Newspaper, was excepted to by his Loidship, who inane. 'hotel) sent 0 mrsiage to Mr. Wood, desiring him publicly lu comi toilet it. What Mr. Wetherell had stated was grutiuded on Lady Westmeath's answer, and of course Mr. Wired refused eumpliance with his Lordship's request. Ili, Lindshq• then seat another masutge, in which he branded Mr. Wood with the opprobrious epithets of liar and dent, conditionalty depending on that gentleman refusing to gratify his Lordship's desire. The Learned Counsel, in addition stated, that Mr. Wood was a getttleMue advanced in life, being upwards of 60 years of age, and that the Earl of Westmeath had publicly boasted of having sent him such a message. The Lord Chief J estire.—" Take a rale." THE NINO U. DAVISON. 111 this case it will be recollected the defendant was convicted berme Mr. Justice Best, on an information for publishing • number of the itspistrfierni, reflecting on the clirissian religion.; and on a farmer day Mr. Cooper ob. wined a role to skew cause why a new trial should not be granted to the defendant, uti the ground that be had been intimidated in making his defence, lby the lines imposed on hint by the Learned Judge in the course of the trial. Mr. Gurney now addressed the Court in opposition to the Rule, and repeated all those circumstances rrspecting the trial which have already been more than once before the pubic. Mr. Cooper, in support of the Rule, contended that the Jii,ige was but identified in imposiug those totes. It was a power neser before exercised on a defendant, though many defendants had gone far beyond what the preseisl had done in observations on the Court before which they were. He contended that he had made out, iri the present instance, a case fully entitling the defendant to a new trial. The ChiefJostice said, of the power of the Judge to fine, no doubt could exist. He would go further and say if a defendant accused of blupliemy attempted to defend Ii i iii selt by repeating the blasphemy, a Judge was in duly ballad to stop mu the deferie.e. Mr. Justice Bayley aud Mr. Justice Helroyd agreed entirely in this opmion. The rule for a uew trial was therefore discharged, and the defendant was ordered up fur judgment on Moodily next. LING V. CAROLE. Mr. Hill it will be recollected, on a former dayobtained a rule for quashing this information against Mrs. Carlile, on the ground or irrevalarity. Mr. Gurney said, atter consulting with his Learned friends, lie Numd he could not resist this application. The rule for quashing the proceedings was therefore snide absolute. HIGH Tuesson.—The Grand Jury hate found a true Bill against William Fletcher, atlas Forbes, alias Franklin, for Hick 'Freesia'. JENILINII, V. TILE WEST-mauni.Eaax wATen-woass' COMPANY. Mr. Brougham moved the Court fur a rule to show came why a mandamus should nut biome against the defendants in this edge, requiring them to einitit.ue their communisa tion of water to the premises of the plaintiff, and to other premises singled in the same district. The application, Mr. Brougham said, arose oat of the Coar►e pursued by the water companies, to enforce the pay went us emliauced rates, of parcelling out the metro polis into districts, each to be exclusively 'applied by one company; and tile question for decision was, whether the companies could legally withhold a supply of water for ordeal to pay each ennanced rates . / The complainants rates were increased from IW. 15s. to 451. • year, nearly 270 per cent.; and, because he refused to enter into a conti act to pay till in, his pipes had been cult off, and lie was now deprived of means of procuring a supply of water.—Rule granted. The Ennis Chronicle says, one of the revenue police, named Stewart, stationed at Ennis, has been missing for the lag few days. It is supposed lie has destroyed himself in a state of insanity, as he was previously observed much disturbed in mind. The Belfast paper says—" Early on Monday morning, three men were apprehended in their own houses, not far from this town, under an accusation of having been concerned in the murder of Mr. B. M'Nair. They were brought to the Police Office, where the Magistrates and Sir R. Bateson, Burt. were, on Monday, engaged in their examination.— In this stage of the business, it would be improper in us to state further particulars." Col. Browne, since his arrival in town, has taken up his Oxide in Somerset-house, where he is daily visited by several political characters of distinction. One of the numerous pickpockets, who, to the disgrace of the police of the metropolis, daringly in fest the street: l not only by night but by day, when apprehended a few evenings ago, had no less than thirty-Iwo pocVet-handkerchiefs concealed about his person. REMARKAIILE COINCIDENCE. - .Sir Samuel Garth dedicated his translation of Ovid to her Royal Hi*: ness Caroline Princess of Wales, afterwards Queen Caroline, and in that dedication are the following expressions:— " Your Royal Highness, who feels for every one. hat lately been the mournful occasion of a like sensibility is many ethers. Scarce an eye did not tell the danger you were in ; eveseardes, though different in principles. united at that time is Uwe ins( and affectionate concern for an event of so much coasequence tb the interest of humanity and virtue, whilst yourself was the only person shim unmoved.' IMPORTANT FROM THE BRAFILS.••••••EXtFact Of 11 letter from Salem, October 13th:— "My friend left Pernambuco August 24th.

A series of Madras Gazettes to June 23, contain no intelligence of much public interest. The news of the deaths of his late Majesty, and of hie Royal Highness the Duke of Kent, had reached that Pre sidency on the 12th of the above month. According to letters from Vienna, of the sth inst. a singular communication had been received there from his Holiness the Pope, in reply to the offer of the Austrian Government to send troops into the Papal dominions for the purpose of redressing the ardent desire for a free constitution which hard been manifested by the subjects of his Holiness. The Pope's letter states that he is grateful for the pro tection offered him by Austria ; but that he was so sensible of the spirit of the people, and of their una nimous wish on that subject, that he felt compelled to abandon the thought of placing a military con• troul over them, and that he had himself, therefore, called together a conclave, fie the purpose of pre paring a free constitution to be submitted to his subjects. Kriunute Encorrnler.—Friday night four well known thieves, alter getting drunk at a public-house in Kent street, sallied forth, and committed several most daring outrages in the neikhbourhood. They forced their mai into a baker's shop in Sutton-street, where the baker s wife and daughter, and a young gentleman, who was paying Isis addresses to the latter, were sitting, and com menced a most brutal attack upon all present; they knocked down both the women, and then forcibly drag. Red the young man into the street, where they beat and kicked him till he was almost insensible. His own cries, and those of others who beheld his situation, at letigils brought Snow the constable, and a posse of watchmen to the spot. at sight of uhoin the ruffians took to flight. The young man grappled one of them; but by dint of superior strength the fellow got clear, and attempted to escape, pulling the wounded man after him, who, as a last atm, made a grasp at some part of his clothes, but he missed his hold, and his hand caught his assailant's watch chain, six lengths of which, to. gether with five chased gold seals and key, were left in his posseuion. The seals are worth 10 guineas at least. By the prompt assistance of the constable and his party, the assailants were forced to fly in all directions, and were chased as far as Dover street, where they escaped.
