The gowns were some of those pasitied immediately After. The Bankrupt, in person, addressed his Lord ship against the Petition. He observed, that, both with respect to the fermi and to every other point ,connected with his affairi, he Was anxious to have given the Assignees every information, had they af. forded him an opportunity. lie then proceeded at length into an 'lamination of the question, and par. titularly of the deposition of his brother George, which he only learnt from the contents of the Peti tion presented to his Lordship. This deposition (the second) was made by his brother, in feelings of en mity towards hint; and with respect to the first de position, as to the mode of payment adopted by his brother, there were the affidavits of several other persons to corroborate his (the Bankrupt's) state ment ; sod, if he spoke truth, he was not called on to vouch for the veracity of his brother. — He had delivered to his creditors the promissory note of ris brother for 3801. sod they had ascertained, by the valuation of their own broker, that they Could not have made mote than that sum of the farm. lie had obtained the signatures of I suf ficirtit number of his creditors to entitle hits to his certificate ; and, on hearing of the reports raised by his Assignees of his attempts to defraud his crediters 4 he attended a meeting at Guildhall, and demanded an ezplenation, and desired to have any questions they-, might think proper put to him ; but the Assignee, who was most active in spreading these reports, declined putting any questions on the subject. He could not but consider this as a hard case, thus to be deprived of his character, which was all lie had left, and thus to be slandered behind his back, by charges which those who made them had not courage to state in the pre sence of the Commissioners. All that he -desired was en opportunity of having hi's character cleared, or of being proved guilty. Teat opportunity the Vice-Chancellor would have given him, and lie was ready to meet it ; hut an appeal was now made against it, and by those who, having brought the charge, were, he thought, bound to try the issue.— They would have a purse made up by numbers, whilst he stood alone, poor awl friendless; yet they called out, fearful of the expellee. He then commented on the charge of fraud, which he contradicted iu the most unequivocal terms. • 314 ; • rO.-,4(?, COURT OF CHANCERY, AWL Id. The Lord Chancellor sat at nine o'clock.

Lopez, whom the Spaniards style, in their report, el bee artissinto Coronet Lopez, was killed in the Wien, with:a great many other officers; •and the independents, it is said, perhaps eaaggerated in the number, lost bezarrissimo Coronet Palacio:, with 250 Infantry and 35 officers. So you may judge how deeptretely both parties fought! Lopez was a Wise of Bartels, and one of the most active end indefatigable al tizans of the Spaniards. lie served under Belies end Morales, with great eclat, iu ezterminating bismitri trymen. I endow you the Spanish acentint of the neat battld fought at Caged. on the 2d of May.

General &Hear had been at San Fernando some time before, and on the 3d of May the English, to the number of two hundred and fifty officers and men, and a quantity of ammunitiop, proceeded thither its gun-boatr, and had arrived. second supply has been sent up since.

It appeared that the Applicant was confined by his son, after he had been in Loudon to publish some reli gious books. Mr. Justice Abbot was first applied to fur the writ of Habeas Corpus, then Mr. Justice Ilolroyd, and subsequently Mr. Justice Bayley,who presided at the late York Assizes, who, after read ing the affidavits, felt he would not be justified in granting the writ ; and on the application being made to his Lordship, he observed that he would read over the affidavits which had been submitied to Nomv ICII UNION FlitEery!

Every one knows that the policy of the Allied Sovereigns is peace, a long peace, to enable Europe to recover from her onerous condition. Spain, on. questionably, has laid her case, as it respects' the United States, before them, and we have no doubt has received for answer, that they cannot commit We tranquillity of Europe, to gratify individual pest. lance, or to resent unimportant wrongs; Spain must go to war with the United States on ac. count of the Floridas, spoliation', or any other trifling cause, she must fight single-handed. Know. ing this, and knowing further, that she cannot roper with the United States, nor have the smallest chance of preserving any of her Colonies, in case of war; we have no doubt, that Spain has ere this given or ders to her Minister in America to propose a Treaty' for the accommodation of all subjects in controversy between the two countries, and if no better terms can be obtained, to relinquish all the conquests we hare made in the Floridas, and to cede the balance of these provinces to the United States, demanding at the same time some remuneration in cash, part of which the Citizens of the United States may receive as indemnifications far the spoliations on their pro perty. The weakness and poverty of Spain must, we think, compel her to these offers. It remains to be seen whether the magnanimity of the United States will demand so much from a prostrate Power. Caplets!
