Three o'Clock, P. M. We have received French papers of the 15th inst. The following are extracts : Patois, Aram 15.—The day before yesterday, after masa, whielethe King heard in his apartments, his Majesty received the Persian Ambassador, His Excellency came to take leave of the King. He will depart on Satnrday or Sunday fur London. His Excellency will occupy a spied did home in Charleestreet, Berkeley-square, where every thing is prepared for his reception. His Excellency the Count dr Gazes has for some days experienced an indisposition so severe as to prevent him .from transacting business with the King. The Gazette de France contains a letter from the Se cretary of the Persian Ambassador, complaining of the indecent levity with which his private concerns are brought before the public curiosity. His Excellency seems to be particularly displeased with a ventriloquist, of the name of Comte, who published in the journals a re cital of the wonders he enacted before the Ambassador , and the astonishment displayed by his Excellency. The Secretary, hot , asserts that the ventriloquist lenity forced himself into his presence, and that his ven triloquial sounds excited no other feeling than disgust. Malmo, APRIL 2.—lt is asserted, that the choice of the King has fallen upon a Princess of Bavaria, who is one of the twins born on the Wit November, 1801.

At Holborn-bars it was joined by the Lord Mayor and suite, attended by the Sheritks, who proceeded with the funeral down Chancery-lane to Temple-bar, and then re turned to the Mansion-house. Nearly 50 carriages of the Nobility and Gentry who were acquainted with the deceased, closed the processien. On the arrival of the body at the Cathedral, it was met at the principal entrance by the Dean, Clergy, &c. and the Gentlemen Volunteers then formed three deep on each side. Between these ranks the body was born to the choir, and, after the burial service was performed, it was interred with great solemnity in the vault which had been prepared for its recep tion. The whole of this solemn ceremony did not Iconclude until after i o'clock. The t r u m p ets of the corps and muffled drum occasionally sounded the Dead March.

TILE NATIONAL ItEGISTInt LA!(' INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL, ERIDAT. Avert. 16. Before Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT, and Sp.ciat Juries. ei.oxAst v. ABBOTT. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 200/. which the declaration stated to be money had and received for the use of 4he plaintif f by the defendant, and also for money advanced by the *Miff to the defendant. The defendant pleaded the general lone to all the counts in the declaration, and also a set off. Mr. Scarlett stated the case for the plaintiff. Messrs. Bloxam and Hollingsworth were the assignees of two persons named Fort dtinier, who was the inventor and patentee of a machine now much in use among paper manufacturers. These machines he had been in the habit of lending out to persons engaged in that trade, at different prices, according to their intriiisic value. It was perhaps requisite to state that the present defendant had been appointed one of the assignees to the estate of the Messrs. Foudri nier at the time when they were made bankrupts; but that he had been removed from that situation by an order of the Lord Chancellor, issued on the petition of certain creditors, who stated. that as the death of the other assignees, who were appointed at the same time with Mr. Abbott, had left him sole assignee, and as he has intimately connected with the Messrs. Foudnnier, and was even engaged in certain commercial speculations along with them, he was not a fit person to have the disposal of the funds of the estate. In consequence of his being removed, a circumstance, of the necessity and propriety of which the defendant had himself concurred, fresh assigned were appointed. and those assignees were the present plaintiffs, Messrs. Bloxam and Hollingsworth. Messrs. Crompton, respectable paper manufacturers, near Bolton, in Lancashire. had hired one of the machines to which lie had before alluded, and had agreed to pay istol. a year for it. They had usually paid this sum to Mr. Abbott 6 but in 1817 they had paid it to MC'STS. Bloxam and Hollingsworth, as assignees to the estate. During the last year a Frenchtnan. of the name of Didot, had sent a note round to all tire paper manufacturers charging them not to pay Messrs. Foudrinier for the use of the machines which those individuals had fabricated: the money was due to him as the inventor of them ; and he intended to appeal to the English Courts of Law to set aside the patent which the Foudri niers had obtained. Shortly after the .Messrs. Crompton had re ceived this note, one of them came to town, and consulted with Mr. Abbott regarding the attention which ought to be paid to it. Mr. Abbott told him that Didot was a foolish fellow, and that he had better pay over the money to those who were commissioned to receive it. In consequence he paid this 2001. to Mr. Abbott himself for the benefit of the estate. When the assignees die covered this circumstance, they applied to Mr. Abbott for payment of the sum. lie, however. refused to make it, and stated that he wasentitled to a commission on the sums which he had received for the estate of the bankrupts. and that he should retain the 200/. till his Claims were satisfied. Mr. Scarlett hoped that the verdict of the Jury would *hew the defendant tire futility of such a defence. The learned gentleman then proceeded to call witnesses to establish the right of property to these machines to have been ori ginally in the Messrs. Foudrinier, and to be now in the assignee. He was also proceeding to *how that the money in question had been paid to Mr. Abbott by Messrs. Crompton, when Mr. Gurney interrupted him, and stated that his learned friend might se , e himself the trouble of entering further into the evidence, as there was a legal objection which would prevent his client from reco vering, even if he made good his case. Mr. Abbott, against whom the action had been brought, ought to have been made a party to it, it it was intended to maintain it satisfactorily, he being a partner with Messrs. Bloxam and Hollingsworth. Seine CUWICP;UtiOII then took place between the counsel and attomies of the two contending parties; after which it was agreed that a verdict, subject, however, to a reference, should be entered for the plaintiff fur the whole damages laid in the declaration- This was accordingly done. THORNTON AND CO. T. HILICRS. This was an action brought by the teipestable house of Thorn ton and Cu. merchants in the City of I.ondon, to recover 6301. the amount of lissa sustained by the refusal of the defendant to de liver a large quantity of the best Russia tallow, Ve hick Mr. Thornton had purchases!. The tallow arrived from St. Peters burg, in a vessel named the Koval Oak, and ll:liters sold it to Thornton upon certain terms. The maiket at the time was ris ing. and Ililbers, conceiving that Mr. Thornton took more time to inspect the tallow than Its might to allow, declared the sale null and void. Nlr. Thornton had stated some dissatisfaction with evils:et to the quality of the article, and Ililbers, ia the main time sold the tallow to a Mr. Hawes. By this breach of contract the plaintiff sustained a loss of f 321. being obliged to purchase when the price of tallow was bigi,cr than the price agreed upon. The principal points were, whether sullicient time had been allowed the plaintiff to pay the money for the tallow, and whether the defendant, according to the cus tom of merchants, was at liberty to declare the contract void after the objection on the past of Mr. Thornton to the quality. It was proved by a respectable broker that two things were usual, nei ther of which hail been done for the accommodation of Thornton. As soon as a ship arrives, it is customary to give notice to the purchaser of goods, in order that he may examine the same. This was not done. Secondly, if the broker tinds the quality does not answer the contract, the usual course is not to rescind the contract, but to refer the question to another person by whose decision the parties are governed. It was contended on the rut , of the defendant, that uoniteessary delay ensued, during APRIL 19• 'Miran,. The lady of Win. Mashie, esq. of F.
