T _, `'-{ ' . there were no direitiona to legume whether the Lord Chancellor or the Maniere in Chancery hid ear had not discharged their duty pro- perly i but when they ram • o selt whetter any part of the Citriadie don of the I , tr ou t out,hree 'm e et not to be taken away. then must oteeseariiv arise the question, whether the Judges had or had no[ discharged their duty princely ; for how could they detemiine the piestinn. or decide whether the defects arose front) the practice of the Court or the conduet of the men ! But it was said this was raising an inquiry into the conduct of the Lord Chancellor inci dentally. He did not wish to avail himself of an incidental queer. toe in order to bring the conduct ninny man before them ; but when it became their duty to examine the course pursued by any in. din ad, be trusted m God he had that mental courage which would anab,e him to discharge that duty faithfully.

He could not be placed there as a spy. nor toad it be with a view to any favours he had received or should re. we ve from thehi gh personage who was at the head of the Commission.

R IDLEY referred at the RdistarArh Review for • I eiteze: er of Lord Eldon. la that work his Lordship was theme- 1 Witai as a great and learned Amiga, endued with singular powers of mind, and mottoes and cirasmapeet itr ail his judgments. Mr. JAMES considered the Caen of Chancery not as a Court of Equity,• but a Court of robbery. (Hear, and a laugh.) Ile. BROUGHAM was net earpripied at the attempts which Ind been so anxiously made, towards a defence of the Noble and beamed J..dge. Ne iedivielesl existed in a similar ta ped y that had ever manifested more courtesy and condescension towards al who were in anywise connected with him than Lord Eldon; in those 'respects time Noble and Learned Lord did un. ennbredly surpass every Judge that bed at any time sat upon the Bence, and, on this account, any man rising to make a charge, or a aeries of charges, veinal Lord Eldon, in his judicial capacity, mast, if he ever practised in the Court of Chancery at any period eat bre professional career, feel a very great disinclination, and have to overcome no small decree of reluctance, at using a single harsh expression towards one who had himself Dever used one harsh ex pesaion towards an individual in the ley asses of his nublic life. dime hear, from the Treasury Besabss. 1 Beeeerable Gentle men appeared to manifest some 14,011161 WINWINISA at those senti ments, coming as they did frees sb het limy went his sincere convictive ; flowerer. is eieteieep shwas be did MIN to speak of Lord Eldon at a Judge end age as aplidena. *peaking of Lord Elden In nisi udieial estimity, es fek the moo eyepiece to touch upon the subject in theiIIIDDET it eliasindes had bin previously felt by Sir S.

Tees was, that al hawk in h sjudicial c opacity, the Learned Lod was singularly mild and CM! onus to all men ; yet, as a politiehm, and In his meths Par liament, he was always as ready to yea ansegly and freely of his enemies es any man, and it he (Mr. BIWNWORRAW) bad is speak of Lord Eldon io the sink capacity, Ists wield us die very weft freedom. With respect to the quotatlea which had beet made by the Honourable Baronet, (Sir hl. W. Ridley) from what he been pleased to call a most important work, the Edinburgh Re sits, sod the testimonial to i he chewier of Lord Eldon, which he had derived from that authentic source, the Hon. Member, in selecting thateefeb. had winced hiesieguleraetuteness and tact, and in the manner of his quotation, and the portion of the article he had selected for that pm peee, he had displayed at least equal skill. Ile had just selected what sunetehis purpose, and no more; for all the rest of the article, which the - Honourable Member had not quoted, curtained a very severe and rigorous and unsparing, but as he (31e. B.) thought, just and merited attack upon the character of that Judge. Indeed, he never knew anything more skilful than the conduct of the Honourable Member, in quoting one-tenth of an article (the exact portion ,which mad e for him) and omitting the 1 other nine-tentns, which were not so much to his purpose, but which, and indeed the whole article taken together, quantum B akal, went to lower the judicial character of the Lord Coancellor. The lion. Ban, was acting exactly in the same way as Mr. Butler. who, in the liberality and kindliness of his flaunt, had quoted the opinion , of Sir S. Romilly as entirely favourable to Lord Eldon. Accord ing to Mr. Butler's mode of quoting Sir Samuel Romilly, that esti mable and able man was represented to say that no Judge was more able, possessed greater subtlety. displayed wore courtesy, and pester and more exteneive resources, than Lord Eldon. But here Mr. Butler stopped : this was all he represented himself as having' heard Sir S. Romilly say. Now he (Mr. Brougham) had often heard that lamented and great lawyer say the same thing, but then he had never failed to add, that • toy Lord Eldon was, from the peculiar conssitution of his mind, one of the worst Judges in equity that ever existed." (liter, and laughter.) By this ex- ample the House would see in what manner a skilful Advocate, brought up at the feet of Gamallel (a laugh), could support his cause by suppressing every thing that made against him and was Enpleasant. Never had there been a more gross perversion than this character which Mr. Butler in his kindness had published of Lord Eldon, and put into the mouth of Sir S. Romilly. With re- 1 gard to the motion of his Hon. Friend, now before the House, never, he thought, WAS there a motion which stood upon a stronger or more Irrefragable ground than it did, particularly as it had not been opposed by one lion. Gentleman who constituted a part of the Commits . on, and was supported by another Hon. Member, sinekrly situated. Under those circumstances, what had been urged :against the motion—what, but delay ? They . were told to wait till the next Session, till the lteport of the Commissioners had been male, and the mass of evidence accumulated beyond all bounds anSlimits. That de:ay would nominally procrastinate the examittrion of the evidence till next Session, but in reality to the Seeiien seer. For, at the commencement of the Session they would have their hands full of Irislt dieturbanera and Insurrection Ac's, and then the House would be told to wait till the backwater— the peliceful backwater after the Easter recess, and that would be telly to wait till the next Session had passed over, for it would be impossible to read and determine on Cie ma s s of evidence that would be then produced within the limits of the remainder of the !smite), and so it would be thrown into die next. The present time, before the long vacation, was the time to produce the papers, e.d so afford :11 entlem s an opportunity to mark, retie, and digest their contents previous to the commencement of next ricasion. 1V hen in the next Session the House on the production of these papers and the re. port of the Commissioners, learned, that the Commission had nut done its duty, ar d he was satisfied in bit soul they had not— . cheers) tie felt a "Dotal certainty and assurance they bad failed -_( bar ) --what then would be theeline of arguteent adopted by the abettors of the Chancellor and the Court of Chancery e They would sew, here is a vast mass of docuinentery evidence, examine is--came not toe rash conclusion, you have not time to determine this Bee man ; end surely you cannot think of hanging up a Judge under the weight of heavy imputations during the whole continuance of the long vet: aeon. You can never send him during the remainder i of the session to administer justice with the weight of those accu sation* hanging over his head in the interim. lie had not the sha dow of a doubt such an appeal would he made, and he entertained RR little doubt it would be made successfully, and leave the effect of rani iii ti fug the present system, and protecting the Lord Chancellor 1., his praceces. The question was, whether the state and eranice of the Court or Chancery was to be inquired into text Session or in the Session afier ; and he was sullied, unless the evidence required were given now, and time permitted to Gee mine it during the long vacation , th ey ' might despair of effecting WY thirg in the next Session. When he looked to the component Pens which eonsituted the Comatieition, and considered the infir mity of human nature (he did not them to speak personally or par tlerlaely, but generally), and when he farther observed that there Ti? only one Opposition 'Member in the Commission, and come 1, •- Al the strong influence of gratitude for favours received, and the tell stronger influence of hope for future favours, and tile candour them would be expected front aliberal foe towards an adversary— !bib be reflected on all this, and moreover that the Hun. and framed Member to whom lie had alluded, was an entirely insulated . eher on that Commission, he could not Neater expressing the fees he felt , and his mere that other Hen. Gentlemen who vat at h, side of the House had nut been included in the Commission. It- Te•ttetted they had been bereaved ut the assistance to be de -7,,,ed Iron, the talent' of the Hon. and Learned Member for Lincoln lilt. .1. Williams) and also the loss of the assistance of the ho- table, conscientious, consistent, anti beareed(Member for Dur we theerand laughter,) who had been nuot active In drawing the fatten of the Hoene to the state of the I aurt of Chancery : he teed whet he had already said In chaeacterising his Hon. need 1 31 r. Larnbton), and he should like to see the man who took • that Gentleman as he did, and repeated hie conviction of his r • le's) conscientious coneisteney and learning. He saw•Mem &bout him who were scarcely able to count tea upon their fingers (a laugh), who never opened their mouths in that House except to cover themselves with ridicule, and prone the wiadont of their usual silence (hear), he sew such Hon. Gentlemen sneering it the panegyric which he had pronceinced os his Hen. Friend, and which airmen who knew his heart and were the just judges of know. ledge and talents must concur in. (Cheers.) His Hon. Friend the Member for Durhara had been the individual chosen by Sir Samuel Hominy, to consult and advise with daily upon the question of the Court of Chancery. He in common with that lamented and great roan had employed himself' upon the MINK', and while they confined themselves to the general question, it was well; but no sooner did they inquire into the causes of the delay, and talk to the Registrar of the probable time it would take to decide a cause, than an ad journment was moved, just as if it had been a Private Bill Com mittee; and Members who had never been prevent on the previous discussion came down., and they were outvoted by the Chancellor's friends. In consequence of this they applied to the House, where they were certainly defeated, but defeated by a very narrow ma jority. He marvelled to hear Gentlemen i n d u l g i ng i n a panegyric on the Commission of Inquiry ; and he was to be told, forsooth, that the Lord Chancellor. though on the Commission, made it a rule not to attend, except when a personal charge was brought against himself. His answer to this was—a practitioner in the Court of Chancery was examined four days, and the Lord Chaimellar di. vided 4 by 2, and finding the quotient to be 2, he attended only two days out of the four. But what did this amount to? Was it not as gross to talk of the Chancellor's absenting himself, as if that Learned Lord were Introduced saying, " I take care to frame the Commission so that the inquiry shall take place in my absence, and I absent myself in order to affoid no interruption to the exercise of their inquisitorial Mita : in this manner I will not attend the meetings, except when a specific charge is brouet against me per sonally, but I will take good care whom I name on the Com mission." (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) The first name on ihat Commission was Lord Redesdale, a Noble and Learned Lord, who bad mounted the ladder of preferment at the same time as the Chancellor, but always one step behind bim. (A laugh.) For when he was Chancellor of Ireland, Lord Eldon be. came Chancellor of England. (A. laugh.) The next name warn that o the Vice Chancellor, a member of his Lordship'e Court la laugh), and the next in order was a Noble and Learned Lord, lately ele. vated to the Peerage (hear,) and certainly no isidividuat could be more fit to conduct ) , the present inquiry.for he ewegisothing to the Lord Chaneator (slatigh); nor was lie indebted to him foe his legal promotion , because he had forsooth never caught up • wig at the Exeter Sessions, and after three mouths, been made a Solicitor. General (laughter), nor been pushed forward prematurely, at the instance of Lord Eldon. (Cheers and laughter.) Hut seriously speaking, let the House consider how lewd Gifford had been raised, and reflect how much he owed to the Chan cellor, who was the Architect of his fortunes, to which his own talents bad not contributed. True, be had obtained credit for the possession of abilities, but if so, it was on tick he had been elevated, and his abilities had never justified the opinion en tertained of them. (Laughter.) This Learned Lord was a judge, and if he (Mr. Brougham) practised in the Court where he pre e'ded, and though what be now spoke should be to his own lola, he could not help saying the rapidity of hie rise was only equalled by the ascent of a balloon (a laugh) ; and after his first elevation he had farther tasted, not indeed of the Royal, but the Chancellarian bounty, and been elevated to the chief seat in the Common Pleas, where he believed he was the youngest Chief Justice on record. Sub sequently Lord Gifford wan made Master of the Rolls, which was considered an easy post. and finally lie was elevated to be a Peer of the realm.. Lord Eldon employed this learned personage ea a sort of Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Speaker or the House of Lords, where he did the Chancellor's business, which he could not himself perfoim, by journeywork. (A laugh.) Nay it was farther and openly said, that the Lord Chancellor designed to leave him as a legacy the place of Chancellor he was to be his Lordship's favoured heir, and the Great Seal was to be devised to him as a legacy, when the present owner, who had occu pied it a quarter of a century, was done with it. (A laugh.) It would be then traneferred to Lord Gifford, to have and to hold for the term of his natural life. With thine prospects, with past gra titude and future hopes, might. not the Chancellor safely trust Lord Gifford in the Commission. Then there was the Solicitor-General, practising in Lord Eldon's Court, and next Mr. Courtenay, • Master in Chancery ; then his Hon. Friend, and next several other Learned Members who were generally supposed not to be far from being Masters in Chancery. (A laugh.) Then there was another lion. Gentleman, who within three months of his nomination on the Commission, was promoted to be a Judge, to show tile remain ing Commissioners that they were not out of the way of pro motion in accepting that office, and that they were only to to pass through the shadow of the valley of death of this inquiry into the resurrection of judges. (Heat, and laughter.) The whole construction of this Commission reminded hitu of a eircuinstance that occurred in Westmorland in a trial between two parties named Thomson and Jackson : one Thomson was discovered to be on the Jury, and when it was asked was he any relation of the plaintiff, he made answer, " l'n the plaintiff." (Laughter.) Here was a Commission to inquire into the conduct of the Chancellor, at the head of it Lord Eldon, and when it was inquired, who is this Lord Eldon? Is he any connexion of the Chancellor? the anewn was I precisely the same as in the former ease—it was, " the Chan. cellar." (A laugh.) Here did the Chancellor take to himself tea others wickeder thanhimself, and framed a Commission, the effector which might be easily divined, and these were to enter into a strict, close, conscientious, and rigorous inquiry. It had been said that sys terns were corner stones in the constitution, but they had heard that night • saw doctrine. ft *se said men were not to blame, the eye. tem was to blame. No man blamed the system more than the Member for Oxford. The fact was, to screen the Lord Chancellor, the system was to be blackened night after night. It would corn. fort him to hear whether it really was the system or the man that was to blame. It did not appear that Lord Eldon, with the assist. ance of a Journeyman Chancellor, had done more business than other Chancellors. Did the Noble Lord sit six hours in Chancery with his mind on the full stretch ? These questions had not bees the subject of inquiry. By agreeing to the motion of the lion. Member for Westminster, they might confer a great benefit on the country. Dr. LUSHINGTON, in explanation, could not admit that the Lord Chancellor had exercised any influence whatever during the inquiry. Ile put it to his brother Commissioners, whether the Lord Chancellor had been present at the examination of more than three or four witnesses out of the whole number examined. They had followed up the inquiry according to the plan arranged by the Committee. The proper time for inquiry into the conduct of the Lord Chancellor would be when the jurisdiction of the Court was examined. In case they had gone further in the examination than the rules of evidence allowed, they could not have discharged their duty fairly. Dlr. TIN DAL whaled to say a few words on the question. Whether the Report ought to be laid on the table would depend on what had been the course of proceeding in the Committee. From the beginning of the Commission they had directed their attention to two points :-Ist, they inquired into delay ; and, Idly, the ex pense in a suit, from its commencement in Chancery to the termi nation. If they could prevent delay and expense, a great object would be answered. In the eitamiustion of witnesses they had proceeded fairly and to the best of thtirability, being desirous of applying a re medy for expense and delay. They had gone on gradually, and he would pledge himself that his individual exertion, should not be wanting to get the Report ready to be presented to his Majesty before the next Session. If the ordinary course had been taken, what was there to induce the House to oppose the proceeding. He wished to know from the Hon. Member who proposed the motion, I whether it was intended to found any Resolution upon it. If such was the intention of the Hon. Member, lie might ask whether the Commission could do their duty as well es if they were left to their own judgment? The Commissioners would be lout to inconvenience if the evidence was brought forward.— There certainly was amongst the Commissioners a diversity of opinion as to whether separate Reports should be made, or a single one which would embrace the enure subject; and amongst the advocates for publishing separate Reports was the Lord Chancellor, (hear, hear), so that r.o delay could be imputed to him t to others it occurred that it was better, even though it occasioned a delay of a few menthe, to fbrnith s full and satisfactory Report; such was his own opinion. On the whole he hoped the House would not depart From the ordinary course, and as it were take away the evidence on which the Report was to be founded. Mr. Secretary CANNING said he should detain the House bn t for a few minutes, whilst he shorly stated the grounds cn which he opposed the motion. Through the whole of the very clever and entertaining speech of the Hon. and besotted Gentleman op. polite (Mr. Brougham), there ran one fallacy, and when that was exposed the entire fell to the ground. Ile seemed all through to conceive that the Commission was appointed. by the House to in stitute a criminal inquiry. No other man in that House thought such were the grounds of las appointment. The country did not think so, and he was sure the very respectable ,individuals who composed the Commission never entertained such an idea. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman said, that in former times the usual course was to attack the man, and not the errors of the system, but that now it was the fashion tii shield the man and attack the system. He assured him that there was no wish entertained to shield any person, nor was the Commission instituted with such a view. The duty of the Commission was to put the ) louse it) possession of such prima facie evidence as would show whether the system itself or it s administration were in fault. (Hear, hear.) The Hon. and Learned Gent. (Mr. Brougham) Resumed, at setting out, that the fault lay in the man, and therefore contended that the whole inquiry fell to the ground. As it was ditected solely In scru tinize the conduct of one man, there Were no grounds for charging the Commissioners with shrinking from the inquiry, unless it was shown that the fault did not exist in the system. The Hon. and ' Learned Gentleman, in a speech rem ar k a bl e f or i ts grea t ability and ingenuity, as well as for its little candor, describes the Colo r minioners as not having done their duty. But they might be said to shrink ia their places, if they did not cure the evils, when the seat of those evils was found. The dhow , tion of the evidence by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman would have been great indeed, if he could affix any criminality on Lord Eldon ; but so long as there was on that Commission one individul who did lot wish to screen that Noble Lord, the charge was with out foundation ; but it was quite evident, from the speech of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, that his wish was to alter the ground of inquiry, and criminate Lord Eldon. What was to fol low from agreeing to the present motion ? If this motion were adopted by the House, it was impossible that the Commission, which had already sat seventy days, should sit one d a y more .— Mrhat good could result from such a motion ? 11'hat benefit could be derived from throwing away rashly what had hitherto been done by the Commission ? ['hat advantage could compensate for such a manifest and positive disadvantage? Was the Homes asked to act so unwisely for the purcose of avoiding delay ? Were they, on such a pretence, to stultify all those concerned id the inquiry, and nullify all that had hitherto been done in it ? (Hear.) 11 hat would they avoid by delay, when they did not give date to the Com. .e, L. ~ BRITISH PRES - S. minioners to present their Raroet—when, too, there was a distinct pledge on their pith that it shaesid be presented at no distant period, which pledge, if it wen not redrerned. he next Session, as art honest man, would nottippeneasrpOlSlMlNffee that It would be fitting to adopt.

Canning) was a sharer, to take the. business from the Commissioners Into their own hands and dispose of it though they weee entirely in the dark.

The BRITISH Pates coulinanced publishing yesterday snera tag as half-past Five o!eloek. LONDON, WEDNESDAY. Jun' 8, HMS. The Paris Papers of Sunday are occupied principally with the programme of the public rejoicings to be given in honour of the Coronation.' The foreign intelligence they contain is of little interest. According to the ad vices from Madrid, a change favourable to reason and moderation has taken place in the councils of TBILDINAVD VII. We hope that it may be permanent, though wecon feas we rather wish than expect that such may be the cue. The news from Greece agrees with all the accounts we have lately received from that quarter. There seems to be no ground for doubting that the endeavours of the Maho metans, to penetrate into the Peloponnesus, have been en- tirely defeated. Irwin the Coarrier i'ranrais of Sunday.) BARCELONA, MAY 26. Among the infinite number of persons confined in the priions of this city and of Villafranca, there are 144 who are to be tried by our Executive Illilitary Commission. The day before yesterday the preacher of the Cathedral, exhott. ing the faithful to chow themselves as good Christians ' said, " You have seen that in the same manner as the Holy Ghost descended on the Apostles, it has likewise descended on the true friends of reli: gion, to induce them to arm, and to exterminate the Constitutional heretics, in which they have partly succeeded." On the same day, the church at Badelona, a pretty considerable village, a league and a half front Barcelona, was burnt down : it is not known whether this event is the effect of chance or design. [From the Josireal de Park of Sunday.) (PitIVA*ZE CORRISPONDENCE.) AUGXBURG, MAT 29. The Pecha of Scutari has lately received such positive orders from Constantinople, that he has resolved to send two or three thou sand men to reintbrce the Ottoman army in Thessaly. These troops are commanded by llscheledin Bey, the Pacha's nephew. Omer Vrione has done great service to the Greeks, by emploing all his influence over the Albanian Chiefs, to dissuade them front accepting the terms offered them by the Seraskier Redschld Pacha. Omer, besides being an inveterate enemy of liedsehid, cannot for get the conduct of the Ministers of the Sultan towards him, who at different times have paid secret agents to assassinate him, flow erer, the better to conceal his projects, Grote has made some Turkish corps advance from Thessaly, by way of Karpenitza, who have been suddenly attacked by the Acarnanians, twisted by some Albanian Christians. This action, in which the Turks were com pletely beaten, took place in the environs of Plompari. MADIUD, MAT 23. • Many persons bad been drawn into the revolution rather by circumstances than adherence to the principles of the political innovators. His Majesty, who is aware of this, and desires only t 6 remove those who are really guilty, has restored to his con. fidence tunny officers of distinguished merit; among them are Generals Piles and Sontoeildee, Who have been tutored without any previous sentence of purification. Far from accepting the resignation of General Carvajal, Governor General of Madrid, and sending him to Valencia as he has just asked for the third time, his Majesty has sent for him, to ask why he 30 much desired to retire from active service. it is affirmed that the General answered his Majesty, that his conduct in the affair of the Ex-Minister &inns Cnte, having been censured in the Supreme Council of War, he thought he ought to resign every con,. mind, or at least exchange that of the province of Madrid for another nothing is yet decided, and M. Carvajal is still our Cap tain-Geneve. The Court seta out for Lidesma the 13th June. The Chapter of Toledo has earnestly solicited the King tint to visit Toledo, to be present at all the solemnities of the Fete Dies; but it is not yet certain whether his Majesty will take that journey. The King has just authorized the city of Madrid to raise a 4th battalion of Royalist volunteers. It is reported that some regimcnta of provincial militia now in arms will be disbanded. The delay of a rich convoy from the Ilavrinnah causes great un easiness among the merchants of Cadiz„ because if it should arrive when the season requires the sanitary laws to be enforced, it would have to go to 31abon to perfordi quarantine. Advices have been received of great importance to Greece. They are communicated in a letter, addressed to an emi nent Greek merchant in the City, dated in Trieste, on the gith ult., and the utmost reliance may be placed on all in telligence received from the same source. It was previously known here that IBRAHIM PACHA bail been compelled by the Christian forces to abandon the siege of Navarino (the ancient Pylus), and to collect the remains of his followers under the walla of Motion, there to await the arrival of the ' second division of the Egyptian army, destined for the in vasion of the Mores. Happily for the csuse of civilization, and tile progress of freedom in the Levant, his hopes of assistance have been destroyed by the Greek Admiral MIA l; tas, whose name already stands conspicuous amongst his countrymen. This celebrated Greek, with a fleet of .10 vessels of war, had the good fortune, on the 30th of April, to meet, in the waters of Candia, that of the Paella of Egypt, consisting of RO vessels, including transports. An action was tile consequence, and its result was not for a moment doubtful. The Barbarians suffered a signal defeat. Three o f their corvettes were burned, one corvette was ►unk, two - - - - !brigs of war were captured, sixteen transports experienced the same fate, and the remainder of this fleet being dia.- persed, was purified in all directions by its conquerors ' Thus the fate of the Egyptian invasion of the Mores has been decided by a naval victory. The same letter contains information equally important to Western Greece, for it communicates the destruction of another detachment of the Ottoman fleet. The Greek Admiral Sac - rums, who had been entrusted with the im..l (arrant duty of watching the Motions of the Turkish fleet, under the immediate command of his Highness the CaplTaN Pacn•, having received Information that a Turkish aguadron of 70 transports, loaded with provisions for the relief of the castles of Lepanto, and of the fortress of Patras, had been seen in the neighbourhood of Metelin, directed his attention to that quarter, and was fortunate enough to fall in with them. The weather being stormy, the Ottomans made no resistance; the whole convoy war captured, and sent to Napdli di Romanis. Thus the fifth campaign against the independence of Greece may be said to be concluded, almost at the moment in which it was commenced. By the Prince Regent; from Bengal, we have receited letters and papers to the 19th Frbivary, the day on which I I this vessel sailed from that Presidency. Some letters have arrived by this conveyance, dated the 25th of February; they were sent on bosh' after the Prince Regent had de parted. The army from Chittagong was advancing with '..out interruption. The Burmese had abandoned every post which it was expected they would defend. Their spirit seemed to be broken, and their speedy submission was considered certain. We have, in another column, given the most interesting extracts from the Indian Papers. By the following letters, it appears clearly that the enemy is reduced to the most abject state of despair:— " No news has arrived lately from Rangoon. Somethidg im portant may be looked for shortly. We think it probable an ad vance of the troops in Amman, combined with the w.avements to take place at Rangoon, about this date, is lik e l y to l ea d to offers for negociating semis a peace from the Court of Ava. Should not initials be adjusted in three, months, or even less time, another long and bloody campaign may be looked forward to." Another letter thus anticipates the close of the war :—" We have very little doubt of a negociatien taking place between the Company and the Court of Ava immediately." The eontraet for the new Spanish loan is, we believe we may at lehgth announce, concluded. Advises received yes terday from Madrid, dated on the 97th ult. at midnight, state that this long-pending negociation had been finally brought to a close. This is a subject on which we have felt some interest, because we have stood alone in asserting that this result would take place. All our contemporari, a have either broadly and positively denied the fact that the negotiation was continued, or held a prudent silence, origi nating in their absolute Ignorance of what was passing. Our sources of information have enabled ns to state accu rately from time to time the progress of the negociation. It is now terminated, and we shall shortly see Spanish Scrip again in the money market. We have, in formerly speak ing of this subject, intimated the terms on which it was en -11 peeled the contract would be taken. An important Bill was last night brought in by Mr. Secretary PERI., to prevent the practice of suing out fivolcus Writs of Error. This was stated by the Right Honourable Secretary to be one of the first fruits of the intended improvements grotring out of the increase of As? 'salary of the Judges. No greater evil has existed in the administration of the law than the delay gained by vexatious suitors in consequence of obtaining these Writs. It appears that in three years-1817, 1818, and 1819, the number of them sued out, in the Court of King's Bench alone, in cases wherein judgment had been given, amounted to 1,147. In 158 of these cases no further proceedings were taken beyond the attainment of the Writ; in 702 cases the 'judgment was affirmed ; in 336 the proceedings were abandoned by the party applying; and, out of the whole, there were but nine cases in which the Writs had been sued out to any valid purpose, and only one in which the judgment was set aside. The fill to correct this evil will require the appellant, in future, to sue out his Writ of E.Tor at his own peril, and give bail to prosecute the suit. This is one of the most valuable amendments of the law that has at any time been introduced into Parliament. Wo congratulate the country on the substantial benefits it will receive from this measure, and also on the disposition thus further evinced, on the part of his Msisterv's Ministers, to carry into effect every practicable and desirable improvt ment which circumstances may admit or require. Mr. SYKES'S motion for the repeal of the duties oft 4 candles and soft soap, and the reduction of the duty ow hard soap to one-half of its present amount, was newer tined without a division. The arguments, such as thee were, that were urged by the Honourable Member, w.i e ably and satisfactorily refuted by the CIIANCLLLOK of the EXCHLQ , :kk, in a witty and cogent speech. CITI, TUESDAY Evsstss. The transactions on the Stock Exchange are now proceeding so calmly that very few remarks are necessary respecting them. The principal feature in securities is a strong indication to maintain themselves firmly. In the British Market Consols for the Opening were at 914, and the Reduced Annuities were at 9114 j. In the Foreign Market Spanish Stock was held with great steat!i. nears the Bonds of IH2I were at 24 f, and those of 11123 at 18j. Greek Sails was an exception to the general lightness of the ma.. ket. It was worse than yesterday, being as low as 104 discount. At one part of the day there was a good deal doing in South Ame rican Securities; Colombian Bonds were at 861 74, and Alowicau Scrip at 21 discount; Danish ditto was at 34 4 discount, sad iira ellen ditto at 14 discount. The activity that was apparent in the Share Market three mouths ago is in a degree returning. The business of the morning was principally in Anglo-Mexican bhares, which were dome at 110 115 ; in the United Alexican Company's Shapes at 24 26 ; in the Paseo Peruvian Shares at 144 ; in the New Potash Company's Shares at. 74; and in those of the General Mining Company at 14 IS. There was no Coffee Sale in Mincing-lane this morning. The prices of Sugar were very firm. The transactions in Rum were in abeyance, in consequence of the discussion expected to take place in Parliament this evening with reference to the imposts on that article. Extract of a letter from Lima, dated January 29, 194.5 : " Last night, about half-pant eight o'clock in the everting, the hits Prime Minister, 3lnotiagado, under San Alartin, was stabbed to the heart, in the street. on his way home. Bolivar was taking every pains to Lind out the perpetrator, and for that purpose had seized upwards of 300 barbers, to discover, if possible, whether any of them had soid or ground any knife or knives fur any particular person or persons (the barbers them are cutlers and bleed persons,. Also se veral other persons were seized, to endeavour to find it out if possible. " The fortress of Collo& still held out, and it was supposed would for some months. " The llsvemor of Lima died '2.7th January, Ifei." The above', letter came from Lima by the North Puint to New York.
