The Statesman. — London, England, 1823-05-31 00:00:00

-- We shall mums this subject, which is now becoming importantly interesting. A Parliamentary enquiry on the subject most take place ; and being in possession of mule information upon it, this is a fit time for its publi cation. The public journals and private letters of Thursday from Paris have been received. The latter state that M. de Vll leis had caused it to be announced to the Syndic of the Stock-brokers, on the morning of the 25th, that Mina had effected his retreat to Barcelona, and with the other Con stitutional corps of Milne end Liobera had entered that City. The pipers do not mention this fact, but leave it to he inferred as the natural result of the skilful marches and counter-marches by which Mina had defeated every attempt to overtake or force him into action. The Journal de Tow gouge asserts (what has been all 'lonic suspected)' " that the Grandees of Spain and the ancient Cortes hssentbled at Ma drid.atere to confer the title of Regent of the Kingdom on the Duke of Angouleme till Tiny Ferdinand should be set at liberty." The individuals who are expected to form a Regency to govern at Madrid in King Ferdioand's name, are stated to be the Dukes de San Carlos and De L'lnfantado, and the Marquess De Casa Yrojn. The first was one who followed Ferdinand to Bayonne, and shared his confinement at Valengay. He negotiated the Treaty of 1313 with Bonaparte, in virtue of which Fer srlinand obtained his liberty. Ile re-entered Spain with the King, as his Minister ; and continued to exercise a powerful influence as such till the end of 1815. alien he was appointed Ambassador to Vienna, and was thence removed in the same capacity to London. The Duke de L'lnfant edo also accompanird Ferdinand to Bay onne, but afterwards accepted office under Joseph Bo naparte, and next took up arms against him. Having taken a command in the Patriotic army, he retired after two or three defeats from the profession of arms, and in 1511 came on a mission to London. the Marquess of Casa Yrnjo was engaged as a diplomatist in the roiled States, and signed on the part of Spain the cession of Florida. After his return, he held fora while, in ISIS, the office of Secretory of State. It is under the auspices of these men, according to report, that a new Decollation will in a short time be opened by the Duke d'Angooleme, with the Alittiaters and Cortes at Seville. • It is confidently said to be the disposition of the new Ali nistry to negotiate with France. Notwithstanding all that has hitherto been stated. the real fate of Abialial is still involved in much mystery. It appears by all the French accounts of the occupation of Madrid , that he was no longer in command at that period, and that the Conctitutional Army acted and refired towards the Pro since of La Mancha, under the orders of General Legere.— But what had become of Ahisbal is not mentioned. The Pilote, and private letters continue to assert in the most confident manner,, hat he had been deprived of Iris command, and that GeneraMagos had been appointed in hisplace. The state ment, however, is contradicted by the Journal des Debate. Thisdournal, notwithstanding. admits that Abisbal had ad dressed a letter to the Doke of Angouleme, " drawing an Instructive and terrifying picture of the desee ' rate state of the affairs of the Party domineer ing in thb Coates, and of the universal disposi tion of all nervy of influence to abandon, or even to orertorn an authority, whose prolonged agony might still occasion so many unavailing calamities. The ' letter of this General," (continues the Journal des De- / air) "announces that his measure was combined with the Commanders most. esteemed by the troops, such as Morillnand B tliasteros, and declares that the principal chiefs of the army, obeying with reluctance a Ministry' withont skill, and an assembly without political weight, int ifed pith all their wishes a better order of things, anti were ready to hail as a Liberator the noble Prince, who had no other desire titan that of promptly closing the glorious part which he had as sumed." The offer of Abisbal, is however, said to leave heen.rejerted !for, according to the Journal des Debate, '"tlee Duke d'Angouleme will treat with no General, with no separ a te army, out only with King Ferdinand when set free, or with the Government which King Ferdinand shall have freely established." The difficulties of the French, however, are known to encrease and to involve them in perplexity ; and, it is understood they are very reedy to avail themselves of the auspices of England to enter into the negotiation that is reported as about to commence. Fri r:NC I. FUNDS, Ma 2S.—Five per cents. opened at 88. 60. ; lowest, 83. 45.; highest, 88. 80. ; closed 88.75. Bank stock, 1,590. Neapolitan five per cent. 761.

A great number of volunteers, it is stated, have arrived there from the inte rior of Asia Minor; some . of them are to serve in the navy, the other., who are the most numerous, to take part la the expedition which is preparing against Samos.— 'hey think, it is said, that the military operations will esmatence with the attack of thot Island ; and the village . 4 Scio pillaged, burnt and enslaved, irritates their cupi- 1 Cystic, their impatience. They indulge in the most littering hopes, and would gist to time swifter wings to hasten the moment when they shall be able to shed hostile blood, to carry off women, and to amass riches. The catastrophe of Scio has beeb more fatal to the Turk*• whom it has demoralized, than to the Greeks whom it ex- terminated. Smyrna and its neighbourhood are rem tented as continu:ng to enjoy tranquillity and order; and the Pacha neglects nothing to ensure their duration. From Stetgard we learn that the great Council of the • Canton of the Vend. has resolved to suspend the law of the 'l4th of May. 1822, relative to the Liberty of the •Press. The Council of State is to receive extraordinary 'powers, writich are to continue till the Ist of July 1824, for the purpose of superintending Printers, Booksellers, ' Circulating Libraries (or Reading-rooms); and to inflict Penalties which. however, must not exceed the maximium fixed by the law , Accounts from. Elberfield state that the Rhenish West IsdiaCompany 'nas received the agreeable intelligence, that the Ca:trial's consignment of goods intended for • Manion, hat safely arrived at Vera Crux. Thor, the first s.nhiPoiades ens elusively with German goods, and fitted for I a Osemou Port, which has 'reached the sew Empire of li tilden it belongs to the Rhenish West India Company. 'rite STOCK EXCHANOK, TWELVE O'CLOCK.--COOMAS opened this morning at SIR, and the Market appoirs heavy up to this hoar, with little business doing. The Express from Paris this morning, we are informed, brings the French Rentes at 88.50. The Private Letters state, that the Re- gency has been appointed at Madrid. We do not hear as yet any information of importance from the above capital. It is generally credited in the city that a uegociation Is on the tapir, but that the Spaniards will not listen to any terms before the French withdraw their forces to the Fre ch frontiers. • FOREIGN MARKET.—This boing settling day for all Fr,. reign Securities, most of the Brokers are busy in winding up their Accounts ; consequently there Is little doing io the above Market. Spanish Bonds opened at 37H. Chili, nothing done—New Spanish 374—N ew P r ussia, fill 83--Russia, soi—Danish, nothing done.—Colombian, soh and was done at 02. It is reported that a considerable redaction will soon take place in the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, principally among professional persons attached to that department, and in future it will be required that candi- Idates for the Ordnance Military Corps will be educated at their °on expense forthat service, by which reduction a very great saving, will be effected in the Ordnance.-- The average average expense during the war, it is supposed, could not be less than 1,0001. to the Public for the education of each Officer, previous to his leaving the Academy.— During peace it must be considerably more, as the establishment at present has still the same number of pro fessors as it had during the war. A meeting of several Gentlemen (Civil and Military) took place at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen street, on Wednesday last, the 21st inst., for the purpose of taking into consideration the most speedy mode of erecting two colossal equestrian Statues, one opposite Buckingham Howie, in honour of his present Majesty— the other apposite the Horse Guards, in Sr. James's Palk, in honour of his Royal Highness the Duke of York, PS Commander-in-Chief. Anil a General Meeting has been appointed to take place at two o'clock precisely, at the Freemasons" Tavern, on Wednesday the 4th of June, for that purpose. BRIOIITON, May 31.--The pier is approaching towards its completion;a lamp is now conttantly kept burning at the ou ter pier bead,as a caution to ships and boats,not t o approach too nose, during the night; and in the day time, when the weather proves fogy, a bell will be kept continually ringing, to give notice to shipping not to approach the pier within a certain depth of water—these are essen tial and salutary precautions. We do not recollect to have seen, for years, so few ba thing machines in requieition, as at present ; this indi cates, we conceive, the coldness of the season; perhaps our numerous warm and cold baths, may also prove a drawback on the sea-bathing. Although the mackarel have not during the week been brought on shore, in abundance, they have fetched tole rable prices—say fr-on two to four hundred fish its a boat —prices from 40 to 50s per hundred. This we think a fair average. The Journal des Debate of Wednesday says, " Doe natlieu has rendered himself master of Cellent ,• on his arrival, Mina abandoned it."—This is the Genera l, whom it has pleased some of our contemporaries to undervalue; yet, though we have heard fur the last month, of Curial's corps, and Donnadieu's corps, and d'Erules' corps, anti two or three others, constantly in his trsckt not one of them has been able to find him. Now, as it was ob viously his object to give employment to the enemy's troops, and such employment as would prevent them from advancing to support the other divisions of the army, can it be denied that he has succeeded ? than it too, be denied that his plan was a good one, living a nuateri tally inferior force, and one greatly inferior in military equipmints, &c. lf, then, it be allowed that Mina's plan was good, and that he has successfully carried it into execution, we confess our inability to understand by what process of reasoning it can be shown, that he himself is not a good Oeneral.—(Courier.) BILPAST, MAT 27.—We have been informed that the celebrated Miss Edgeworth sailed in the :;team Packs from this harbour for Glasgow yesterday morning. It is said she is going on an Invitation to visit the tamilt of Sir Walter Scott.—(Belfast Neter-Leiter.) RAYON Nit, MAT W.—Notwithstanding the advance of the head-quarters towards Madrid, without any material inter ruption, those persons who are of opinion that the Spanish Generals act upon a preconcerted and well. digested plan, are not quite at their ease respecting the results of the Cam p sign. They see in their movements an intention of sepa rating the various corps of our army, by dtlawing them to different puts of the kingdom, whets they will be unable to afford each other any, support. Thus Mina has been con stantly hovering on the French frontiers; Ballasteros, who might easily havejoined either Mina or Abisbal, prefers re tiring towards Valencia, drawing the second corps after him ; Morino suffers himself to be entirely out-fianised, and even cut off by the first corps, while he remains in ()elicits and the Asturias, where he may soon double his force, and render our position, advanced as far as Madrid, and the frontiers of Portugal, whose neutrality is very problemati cal, extremely critical, by attacking as in flank. Abisbal, with an army increased by all the Constitutionalists, who have retired as the troops of the Faith advanced, may dis t ute the ground which he is charged to defend. Add to this six thousand chosen m, n from the capital, who have left it in eighteen guerillas, disposed to do us all the mischief they can, and taking in the chances of scarcity of provisions, and diseases—such is the picture which the fears of some persons present to their imagination. latsts Ecosromv.—A recent resolution at Vestry, to inter the dead poor of this town, in future, without cot fins, hail created a great sensation amongst the lower orders. An effort at such a description of economy, dors not, we must confess, appear to us to be very praise worthy.—(Galway Chrox.) I RISII COMPORT.—A Meeting was held last week of a Committee of the Society for Improving the Habits of the labouring classes in Ireland. At that Meeting a well informed Gentleman of this country who bad recently returned from a long • residence in that, assisted the Committee with his observations and suggestions. Af ter the meeting, on joining a party of friend, to whom he stated the objects and obstacles of the Society, lie re lited the following anecdote as an instance of one of the . loverate habits with which the Committee had to con tend :—A landed proprietor in the South of Ireland, hav ing been long disgusted with the sight of a pig in the parlour of one of his tenants, prevailed upon Murphy, by arguments and the aid of materials, to build a cabin, or stye, for Murphy's pig. For some time Murphy and his quondam companion lived at a respectful distance from each other ; but one day when Merphy's landlord called, he was vexed to find the quadruped and biped living together in the same place and on the same terms as before. On this the landlord demanded why the pig was again admitted to be a parlour guest, after Murphy i had given a solemn promise that t and he should live apart. " Why plase your Honour," quoth Murphy, " 'tis only for this day and to-morrow that 1 meant to keep the pig here. Phase your honour, you must know that yesterday Darby Barry, the boy, was married to Ma ry Normoyle, and, poor cratures, they bad no house nor home of their own to go to; so I pitied them, and thought that if I did but bring the pig again into the house with me here, they might live very well, for a white, in the pig's cabin. Well, your honour, there Darby and his poor young wife were bedded, to be sure, awl very com fortable they are together, I can tell you. But 'tis only awhile, as 1 told von, they'll stay ; for Darby's f a ther is building a cabin 'for the poor young cratures' selves, and it will be all complete in a day or two. Aod I thought there would be no harm in shifting the pig for so short a time, to make . the two pow cratures happy; and 1 hope your honour will not think there is any harm, for you see the pig too, is comfortable here." COURT OF CIIANCERY.—(Tau DAT.) DOWIN AND OTHERS IN_BCSITILL AND OTIIIIM• JUDGMENT. This singular cause again came before the Court this day, the Loan CHANCELLOR proceeding, on taking his seat, td givejudgment in it. It originally was a bill filed by certain persons claiming legacies against the defeeonts, the ex ecutors of the will of William Litchfield. of Ilanwell, Mid dlesex. The short facts of the case were, that in ISO 7. he made a will.bequeathing to an adopted child his real estate, sad teasing certain portions of his personal property to other persons. In ISIS he again made a will. altering his former one, and in which he read the folaiwing words, " I hereby tevoke all former wills." The plaintiffs contended that the second paper was hut a co "icil to the first one, end that the above words had crept Into the will inad vertently. It Was also alleged that at the time of executing it, the testator was not of sound mind.— On the other hand it was contended that the Testator knew well what he was about, and meant to bequeath his property as described in the will of 1813. An issue on the hearing was directed to be tried, and the Jury found; first, that the Testator did not mean to devise his property as stated 1-4111 y. That be was not of sound mind:-idly. That the will was made according to the Statute of Frauds ; and, 4thly. That the will was exe cuted by a man who was of sound mind, and who meant to bequeath his property as stated throughout' with the exception of the last clause : a more unintelligible verdict his Lordship Said be had never witnessed, and the question here was, was the paper a real will or was it not, and the question must be judged both as to the real and personal estate.;-- The question whether this will was such a one as wool] authorise the granting of probate was not for this Court to. decide, and therefore his Lordship was of opinion the case ought to go before the Ecclesiastical Court for the purpose of trying whether the will hail or had not been proved. This Court, it was clear, could not entertain question as to personal property, nor could it say whe ther this will which had been proved in the Commons was the only will made by the Testator. After some observations from the respective Counsel, his Lord ship said, the general view with respect to wills was, that the Testator reed the will over, or had it reed over to him; and in the absence of evidence, and that strong evidence too, it would be a proceeding fraught with great danger were the Court to direct an issue to try the validity of its contents It was clear that lifs Lordship would not grant the issue, as in the present case nine-tenths of the claims were relative to the personal es ate, It was here observed, that there %raja very. wreat mass of eriderce, and the Lord Chancellor said, he must then see it; hut, he hoped that only one copy would be sent. The formal parts of it might also be struck out, but as the question required to be settled es soon as possible, the gentlemen who furnished need not do as had been done in the present case, namely, by way of sav ing time, send him three copies, which had been remitted of the present petition. The following are the names of the eight Irish Mem' ben who voted last night for giving a discretionary power to the Commissioners to increase the income of the Clergy, one-third more than they already have received on an average of seven years; ail the other Irish Mem bers voted against that power: Sir tieorge Hill, George Dawson, Right Hon. W. C. Plunkett. holding offices; Sir Arthur Chichester, %Vm. Stuart, of Armagn, Richd. Martin, Thomas Ellis, Master in Chancery, Sir John Dredges. (heat numbers of persons are daily viewing the large oak tree, which has lately been felled in Tooley Park. Leicestershire. This surprising oak, is ten yards round the butt of solid timber, and is valued at about 200 gui neas. The bark is estimated at three tons ; and the tree and branches now fallen, cover half an acre of land.— It is supposed to have been growing several hundred years. Many of the branches are from three to four yards round. Among the performers alreadvengaged by the indefa tigable Manager of the Haymarket'Theatre for this next season, are—Messrs. Harley. Terry, Liston, Vining— Miss Chester, Miss Paton, Miss Love, Miss Johnston, Mrs. Orger, Mrs. Jones, and Mts. Davenport. Last Monday, at the Fighting Cocks Inn; at Win farthing, a large click, of the trite fighting breed, at tacked a beautiful child, about a year and an half old. belonging to the family of the landlord, and wounded him in several places in the head and face; and if timely assistance had not been at hand, there is little donbt that he would have repeated his attacks till he had de prived him of his sight, if not of his life. The cock was killed immediately.—(Norfolk Paper.) LYNN, Mar 90.—Tle neighbourhood of High-street was on Tuesday morninc: thrown into a state of much alarm and consternation, in c insequence of a dog having every symp tom of madness, rushing violently down the pavement, end forcing his way into the house of Mr. Raven, painter. from the lower rooms of which he soon banished the family, hap pily without injury to any one. The poor animal raged most furiously about the shop and parlour, broke several panes of glass end a chair, foamed and bit at every object in his way ; he was at last, with mach caution, forced into the street, when he was quickly dispatched with as air gun b y a neighbour, and taken away. Much enquiry has been made, but we do not hear of any damage being sustained by any other person. A Labia on the lands of Ballinora, near Ballincolig county Cork, occupied by a poor man, his wife and three children, the mud walls being melted by the Hite rain, suddenly fell in, on Friday night, while they lay in the same bed, and honied the entire. On the following morn ing they were dug out, when the two elder children were foetid dead ; the poor man was so dreadfully bruised that his recovery is considered hopeless—the mother in a state little better, but the third child, an infant, lying between its parents, was providentially protected from the overwhelming weight, and was taken out smiling, unconsciously and uninjured. A FALSR ALARM.—Ar ew weeks ago, the inhabitants of one of the principa, cities la the West of England were tided with conjecture and consternation at the followin g notice, painted in large capitals on the front of a house, re cently fitted up and repaired, " Mrs. M—, from London deals in aU sorts of Ladies." All was consternation ! Inquiry was instantly set on foot as to who this Mrs. M. might be? No one could tell; she was a stranger from London about to establish a new concern. Great anxiety prevailed as to this equivocal proclamation of the new esta blishment. For two whole days all was injusti•e and con. sultation. On the third morning, behold, the mystery was unravelled. The house painter. who had, it seems, been suddenly attacked by a fit of the gout, returned to finish his work, and in ten minutes concluded it by adding— "end Gentlemen's wearing apparel." Survoi.u, Mar 29.—A few days since as some carpen- I ters were employed in patting down a new fence in the ehurch-yard, at Earl Mohair. In this county, they discovered a few silver coins, about two feet below the surface of the ground ; they are now in the possession of the Rev. J. Groom?, and, open examination, proved to he the coins of the earliest date of Henry the Third, and consequently have been coined about six hundred years, and are yet in a state of very good preservation. Luaus, Pow, CARRR.—A girl, named Catherine Perry. was charged on Wednesday, at Usher's Quay Po lice Office, by peace officer Hawthorn, with having at tetnpted to drown herself. A man, named Peter Hughes, was charged the ."e day at Marlborough-street Police Office, by Mr. t hris topher Pallace, with having attempted to drown himself. A fellow, of the name of John Johnson, was charged at the same office the same day, by Mr. Edward Gorman, with having concealed himself in his drawing. oom chimney; and a woman, named Mary Kelly, was charg ed at the same office by Mr. Norman. on sosnicion of being an accomplice in attempting to rub his house.

Mr. Mainprise, of WOO !side, near Plymouth, had on Sunday last, a swarm of hms, which is the first to the neighbonrhood, and considered very early, particular's so, the season being so cold. The same gentleman had It swarm of bees presented bim by the master of a ship, on the boom of which they had settled on his voyag,e front Deptford to Plymouth ; they were shook into a basket, and brought safe, after being at sea nearly a fortnight. Green peas were said in Exrtor, yesterday se'nnight, at half-a-guinea a perk. Anittceimusraa garotte FOR NORFOLF.—The month set in with cold unseasonable weather, whirl' considerably re tarded the blossoms, as well as the growth of corn and grass; latterly, however, the season has been nore mild and genial. and vegetation has very radidly improved. The wheat, are generally looking well, with the exception of certain spots, which are thin of plant. Barley sowing was concluded in tolerable order—the land workin.r well for the reception of the seed, and the late rains have come most opportunely for the light lands, which begun to be much in want of moisture. All hands are now tit work up , m ilt-s (allows, and tit,• muck carts are almost es ery where in operation. A g-ea! breadth of layers havirg failed, °cessions an unusual growth of peas and beans. Tne corn trade has been higher than for months. we may say years past, bat the late rains letting changed the appearance of the crops greatly for the better, our mar kets are by no means so brisk as they were. Wheats must be good to reach 303. Harley 'Gs. to his. Stock of all sorts in great plenty, especially sheep, which have been rather its demand at from 2Ss. to 345. fur hoggets in the fleece.
