1 7 011EIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated March 14.) PARIS, MARCH 13.—We have received from Toulon a private letter, dated the 7th of March, which contains the following particulars : " There will remain in the Morea 4,000 men, forming a brigade, which will be under the command of General Schneider. All the rest of the troops of the expedition will return with Marshal Maison, who is expected here at the beginning of the month of April, according to the local arrangements which have been ordered, and the despatches of the Minister of War, which M. de Chabot has taken to the Morea. " According to the news from Egypt, received at Marseilles, it seems that the Pacha is preparing an expedition, which is supposed to be destined against Candia. He hastens the building and the equipment of his fleet, and is continually raising troops. It is said that the Porte stimulates him, and makes him great promises. " Colonel Fabvier rnay, perhaps, return with the troops from the Morea, where he meets with great difficulties. He is directly opposed to Count Capo d'lstria, and the Greek military chiefs will not have any thing to do with him."

A body of 1,500 Greeks, coming from Spaskia, have made an incursion into the province of Pedia, situated between Candia and Spina Longa, and massacred all the Turks, men, women, and children, who had not time to escape. Sulieman Paella applied for assistance to Capt. Maitland , commanding the English ship of the line the Wellesley, which immediately sailed, and picked up on the coast 211 Turks who were flying to escape death. Capt. Maitland landed them at Candia. The English squadron has received orders to quit the island. The French frigate Syrene had sailed away some days before. Our City Correspondent says that gold is again returning to this country. From 80 to 100,000 sovereigns have arrived this morning from Paris. If we wished further proof of the favourable pro gress that the Catholic Question is making with the intelligent and the liberal-minded, in what were once the most uncompromising Protestant districts in Eng land, it would be found in the circumstances that have lately taken place at Leeds. In that populous and influential town, which twenty, aye, we may say even ten years ago, was strongly opposed to Eman cipation, it is a notorious fact that the petition in favour of the Bill, brought into Parliament for the settlement of the Catholic Question, has obtained 8,000 signatures in little more than one day ! These signatures, be it observed, have not been obtained by fraud or forgery, they are not the crosses or scrawls of old women, convicted felons, and charity boys, but the real honest legible signatures of some of the most respectable individuals in Leeds and its vicinity. At Newcastle-upon-Tyne the same en lightened feeling prevails, the Common Council of that town having last week unanimously agreed on a petition in favour of the removal of the Roman Catholic disabilities, and which resolution, when publicly announced on Change, was received with loud enthusiastic cheers. We leave these two im portant facts to work their own way : they are worth whole volumes of argument or declamation. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CIT. Y, TWELVE o'CLour. The advance which took place in Consols on Saturday was not sustained at the close of the day, they left off rather heavily at 874, at which rate they opened this morning for the account; the report of Mr. Stratford Canning having proceeded to Con stantinople on a pacific mission seems to have caused a trilling improvement, and they are now 87-3 for account, and 87i a for money, but with little business doing. Exchequer Bills, 51 3 pm.; India Bonds, 45 47 pm. Scarcely any thing has been done in the Foreign Funds; the Northern Bonds maintain firmly the high price of Saturday, Russian Bonds being 94i 95, and Danish, 64i 5 ; the other Foreign Securities are nominally at the undermentioned prices. In Shares there is a complete stand still. We regret to notice the continued complaints of want of business with almost all classes of tradesmen in the City, and however plentiful capital may be in some quarters, the middling classes of the commu nity are at present suffering very considerably, as is shewn by the numerous engagements which they are unable to satisfy from such a state of affairs ; but, m the Spring trade will shortly commence, it is hoped a more satisfactory turn will take place ; at all events much of the distress which is contem plated by many will be ameliorated.

GEORGE TIIE FOURTH'S BRlDGE.—Yes terday the Commissioners for the improvement contracted with Mr. James Milne, for the building of the new bridge across the Cowgate, for the sum of 13,500/. The tene ments which occupied the site are nearly all taken down, and the work will be commenced almost immediately, and finished before the end of 1830.—Scotsman. THE TUNNEL.—The guide mine, in the King's Park, was carried though on Wednesday last. This is a small tunnel, about the height of a man, and fuur or five feet wide, which is first cut, and serves both as a guide in cutting the larger tunnel, and as a drain to carry off the water, the quantity of which that collected in the part previously cut, rendered constant pumping necessary. More than one-third of the large or full-sized tunnel is also now arched over and completed.—Scotsman. The French Papers of Thursday and Friday, which arrived yesterday, are chiefly filled with the proceedings of the Legislative Chambers. Those of Thursday con tain the speech of the Minister of Finance on pre senting the Budget. The statements of the French Financial Ministers on such occasions : usually embrace the period of three years,—the accounts for the preced ing year as passed,—the accounts of the current year, so far as they can be ascertained,—and the estimates for the succeeding year. The expenditure for 1827, as concluded and liquidated, amounted to 961,682, 145 francs, or about 38,500,0001. sterling ; and the receipts of the revenue amounted only to 957,431,769 francs, leaving a deficit of 4,250,376 francs, or about 160,0001. sterling. Various items afterwards enumerated raised the supplies for 1827 to 989,448,052 francs, thus snaking a deficit of 32,016,283 francs. The revenue for the year 1828 was 982,758,694 f. The produce of some of the taxes has fallen below the estimate of the Minister, and that of others has exceeded it. The votes of credit for the ordinary ser vice o; the year 1828 amounted to 964,028,933 f, Sup plementary credits to the amount of 71,387,319 f. will be required, thus raising the expenditure for the year 1828 to 1,033,515,552 francs, or upward of 41,000,0001. sterling. In thin large excess of expenditure over income, are included the charges of the accupation of Spain, of the expedition to Greece, of the blockade o f Algiers , and of the fleet sent to Brazil. For most of t hese serv ices , special credits ha d been already grante d. In the present year ( 1820 ) , the Minister calculates that his last year's estimates of ex penditure will be exceeded, by the department of War bi,00,000 of francs, by the Department of Marine 18,000,P0U of f;a4osi and by th e D epartme nt of Foreign Affairs, 3,500,000 thus making a total increase of more than 2,000,0901. sterling. The Mi nister proposes to fix the votes of c redit for the e n sui n g year (1830) at 977,935,329 francs, cr about 39,000, 0001 . sterling. revenue to meet this charge is calculated at 979,5 2 , 224 francs, being a very small excess over the expenditure. 'the reading of the extensive statements from which the se remarks are taken , was followed the forlPal with presentation of the accounts to the Chamber. No debate takes 'lace on them till they are examined in 1. commission, and reported upon by its chairman. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS.. Lord TENTERDEN, the Marquis of SLIGO, and Lord HARRINGTON, sat on appeals to-day. BALL V. MANNING. This case came before their Lordships upon ap peal in error from the Court of Exchequer Chamber in Ireland, the material question in which appeared to be whether a deed, executed by John Hunton Ball in October, 1785, was invalid, in consequence of the weak capacity of his mind at the time of executing it. Mr. Ball was entitled, as first tenant in tail, to certain estates in the county of Kilkenny. The deed in question was executed for the purpose of pro viding for the younger children of the mother of Mr. Ball, by a second marriage. Launcelot Hunton Ball, the next brother to John Hunton Ball, raised the question as to the validity of the deed by filing a bill in the Exchequer, asserting that it was exe cuted for no other purpose than to prevent the estate coming to him. An ejectment was afterwards brought, for the purpose of recovering the lands, which was compromised. Mr. Hunton Ball subsequently, however, refused to abide by that, and brought another ejectment, during the pending of the proceeding in which ‘ he died. The issue in that ejectment was tried before Mr. Justice Jebb, whose charge to the Jury was considered by the defendant to be incorrect, and a bill of exceptions was filed. Upon that bill of exceptions coining on to be heard in the Court of King's Bench in Ireland, their Lord ships overruled the exceptions. The plaintiff, in error, then brought his writ against that judgment of the Court of King's Bench to the Exchequer Chamber, where it was argued before a full Court. The Judges were divided in their opinions, but in consequence of the rule of the Court, the judgment of the King's Bench was ultimately affirmed.— Against that decision the parties appealed. Mr. SUGDEN and Mr. SWAINE appeared for the appellant, the SOLICITOR-GENERAL and Mr. JERVIS, jun. for the respondents. BRUSSELS PAPERS. VIENNA, MARCH s.—According to authentic letters from the Russian head-quarters, of Feb. 23, <Atha news had been received there of the destruc tion of the Turkish flotilla before Nicopolis. For the performance of this brilliant exploit General Malinofsky had sent 200 volunteers, of the sth divi sion of infantry, under the command of Major Ste phanoff. The Turkish crews of the flotilla were surprised and put to the sword. Of the 30 vessels and gun-boats which composed the flotilla, 29 were burnt. The artillery and provisions on board the ships were destroyed.—Allgenzeine Zeitung, March 9. , BERLIN, MARCH B.—The Odessa Journal of the , 21st of February contains the following news :-- ' "On the 13th of January, Major-General-Ku prianoff sent to General Roth two Tartar deserters from Shumla, who had come to his out-posts. They stated that the Grand Vizier had arrived at Shumla on the 6th of January, and had collected about 30,000 men to attack Paravadi. In consequence of this information, the troops were enjoined to be doubly vigilant, and orders given to send out patrols to learn the enemy's motions. In the evening Major-General Rogoffsky sent word from Devno that a corps of observation of 80 Cossacks, posted near Koludjik, had been attacked by a much superior force of Turkish cavalry. This news bad been brought by a Cossack, who escaped. The necessary steps having been taken, the 31st and 32d regiments of Yagers, with four cannon, were sent to reinforce the post at Paravadi, and orders given to some detachments of troops between Varna and Kustendji to draw nearer to the former place. General Roth then received a second report from General Rogoffsky, who informed him that Lieute nant-Colonel Deriltroff, who had been sent to re inforce the troops at Koludjik, had met, about two wersts from that place, some hundred Turkish horse men, who, however, immediately retired to Shumla. The post of Koludjik was again occupied by our troops. As the enemy had attacked it unawares with 500 men, our patrols had probably fallen into his hands. In this affair we had two Cossacks and a subaltern officer killed; the commander of the post and 32 Cossacks are missing, and we have not the slightest information of their fate." ODESSA, FEB. 21.—Though the winter is not quite over, the cold has abated. The ice in the harbour is partly melted and partly dispersed by the wind. On the 6th instant two vessels sailed for Varna with supplies for the army ; unless the cold should return, fifty vessels will put to sea in a few days.—Prussian State Gazette, March 9. VIENNA, MARCH 3.—The Austrian Observer has A letter from Constantinople, of February 10, an nouncing the removal of the Grand Vizier from his office; but as this was not accompanied with any mark of disgrace, and lie has even retained his three borse.tails, it is presumed that he will soon have another appointment, probably a command in Asia. The embarkation of the Sultan on board the steam-boat has caused great surprise, as none of his predecessors, for this century past, have gone so far from the capital. As the vessel is said to have pro visions only for six days, it is supposed the Sultan will be back on Friday next (the 13th) to go to the mosque. The Porte has received reports from Redschid Pacha, stating that, by the measures he had taken to stop the progress of the insurgents under Deme trius Ypsilanti, their detached corps had been de kated in several actions by Mahmoud Pacha and Pacha of Negropont, driven oat of Livadia, Petra, an z. l other places, and pursued to a consi derable distance. The Porte has also received news from Shumla, that the troops under Halil and Ibrahim Pacha have surprised the village of Tschamarlu, near Bazardjik. No particulars, how ever, has e yet been received. BRUSSELS, MARCH 13.—1 n the budget for the year 1830 it is announced, that the excise on the grinding of flour shall not be levied after the Ist January, 1830. PARLIAMENTARY PAPER. ABSTRACT.

THE FORCE OF IMAGINATION.--A Lucchese peasant, out shooting sparrows, saw his dog attacked by a strange and very ferocious mastiff. He tried to separate the animals, and received a bite from his own dog, which instantly ran off through the fields. The wound was healed in a few days, but the dog was not to be found ; and the peasant, after some time, began to feel symptoms of nervous agitation. He conceived that the dog, from his disappearing, was road, and within a day or two after this idea had struck him he began to feel symptoms of hydrophobia. They grew hourly 1110/.2 vio lent ; he raved, and had all the evidences of the most vio• lent distemper. As he was lying, with the door open, to l in the last air that he was to breathe, he heard his dog ba . k. The animal ran up to the bed side, licked his hand, and frolicked about the room. It was clear that he, at least, was in perfect health. The peasant's mind was re lieved at the instant ; he got up with renewed strength, dressed himself, plunged his head in a basin of water, and thus refreshed walked into the room to his astonished family. The statement is made in a memoir by Professor Barbantini ; and it is not improbable that many attacks of a disease so strongly dependent on the imagination might be equally cured by ascertaining the state of the animal by which the bite was given.— Weekly Review. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 16, 1829. The Anti-Catholics are, we perceive, making every where the most desperate efforts to stir up the spirit of the nation against the proposed measures of concession. In London, the Ultra Papers are at work with a fire and energy that want nothing but a better cause to recommend them, and through- out the country, in the villages and the towns and the cities, incendiary placards are posted up, appealing in appropriate language to the lowest and vulgarest prejudices of the most ignorant portion of the commonalty. In one town, city rather, that we could mention, wood-cuts have been appended to these placards, representing the POPE seated on the Archiepiscopal throne of Canterbury, and the chief Dignitaries of the Church of England doing homage before him, with the sole exception of one, who being more contumacious than the rest, is sur rounded by Inquisitors in the back-ground. We might safely leave these arts to find their own level, and trust to the intelligence and good feeling of the people for their ready acquiescence in a measure, the due consideration of which the KING, as head of the Protestant Church, has solemnly recommended from the Throne, and the . adoption of which the wisest and best men in both Houses of Parliament, have una voce pronounced indispensable to the security of the Constitution—we might safely, we repeat, leave all these unworthy arts to themselves, were it not that they serve to set forth, in its true light, the nature of the ascendancy faction, and enable the people rightly to appreciate, first, the character of the men who can condescend, however indirectly, to sanction such manoeuvres, secondly, the merits of the cause which can only hope for suc cess by adopting them. In this respect, and in this only, they are worthy of exposure ; comment, argu ment, there needs none; it is quite sufficient to state the facts, in order to show their absurdity. German Papers of the 9th inst. have been re ceived this morning. Their contents refer princi pally to the detention and release of the Austrian vessels laden with corn, and some barbarous pro ceedings of the Greeks in the province of Pedia, where a great number of Turks were brutally mas sacred : AUGSBURGH, MARCH S. The Greek Bee and the Courrier de Smyrne have published several articles relative to the capture of the Aus trian ships laden with corn, by the Greek cruisers, and the seizure of the Greek brig of war, the Cambrian, by Admiral Dandolo, and his demand of the restoration of the Austrian vessels and their cargoes, or their value. A very long official letter from Count Capo d'lstria states, that such alarming accounts were sent to the Government from various parts of Greece of the dangers of an impending famine, that it became the duty of the Government to take every practicable step to avert so great a calamity. As it was well known that the Porte had hired several ships to bring corn from Asia Minor, Alexandria, and Salonichi, to Constantinople, it was resolved to send some ships of war to intercept them, in the full conviction that the corn belonged to the Porte. It appears, that by a long article in the Courrier de Smyrne, that the dispute was at length arranged, after some animated conferences, by the intervention of the Russian Admiral Count Heyden, who, at the request of the President, went to Egina on purpose. As soon as the matter was settled the Austrian Admiral addressed the fol lowing letter to M. Groping, Austrian Consul at Athens, nor at Egina Egina Roads, on board the Bellona, Jan. 12. " After proceeri;ng to Egina, to require the restoration of the cargoes of corn under the flag of his Imperial Ma jesty, as well as under the flags of Tuscany and Naples, which had been captured by the Greek ships without pre vious notice, I had full opportunity to convince myself that the object of the authorities by whose order these cargoes had been seized, was not by any means to throw any impediment in the way of the commerce of the Euro -1 pes.." powers. I have great pleasure in declaring, for the sake of truth, 4nel for the interests of the merchants in general, that the Greets anth.orities, by their ready attention to any demands, have giren the most satisfactory prouf that the seizure of the cargoes in question was ordered only in con sequence of most urgent necessity, a.nd the danger of fa mine. You will therefore give all possible publicity to this declaration, in'order to make the merchants easy with respect to stircumstances which, unless explained, must excite their apprehArtsions. Accept, &c. C. DANDOLO, Commander of the Squadron of his imperial Majesty.

Bed bury); the question'was, whether a deed which the bankrupt had executed for the benefit of his cre ditors, could be overturned by a subsequent com mission of bankruptcy taken out against him by some of the parties who had received a composition under that deed. The affidavits and evidence taken in support of the petition, which is to supersede the commission, are exceedingly voluminous, and of so complicated a nature, that the Vice-Chancellor said, he could not satisfactorily to himself pronounce a de cision on the case in its present state; he should, therefore, direct two issues to be tried at Salisbury ; the first, whether the united debts of the petition ing creditors to the commission amounted to 1501.; and the second to ascertain whether the person pre senting this petition to supersede, had himself any debt at all. Mr. PEPYS trusted his Honour would direct the issues to be tried in London. Such was the ex traordinary spirit of litigation in this case, that he felt confident a country Jury would never give satis faction to the parties. Mr. KNIGHT opposed this application. The ex penses had already been enormous, much more than the original debts of the bankrupt, and he therefore hoped the Court would order the issues to be tried in the country, where the witnesses resided. The whole of the proceedings arose in a squabble between two cabinet-makers, and that never could be sup posed of so much interest as to prevent getting an impartial Jury. The VICE-CHANCELLOR-1 certainly shall order them to be tried in the country. Several other bankrupt petitions were postponed on account of the absence of Mr. Sugden, and those disposed of possessed no public interest. ASSIZES.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) STAFFORD, MARCH 14. SILLITOE V. THE REV. .----. JENKINSOII. Mr. C. PHILLIPS opened the pleadings. The plaintiff is a grocer and ironmonger, in Stafford, and the defendant is a clergyman, residing in the neighbourhood. This was an action upon a breach of covenant, committed by the plaintiff's apprentice, the son of the defendant. Mr. TAUNTON' said the present action was a very serious instance of the extraordiny refinement of the time in which we live, and he doubted very much whether his Lordship, in the whole course of his professional practice, had ever met with an instance of such extreme fastidious ness as the present case would disclose. In May, 1827, the boy was apprenticed to the plaintiff, and he and his master lived together on comfortable terms, until August, 1828, when Mr. Sillitoe ordered the boy to clean a grate, which he refused to do, and on Mr. Sillitoe insisting that he should, the boy went home to his father. His father sent him back again. Mr. Sillitoe insisted he should clean the grate—the boy again refused, and Mr. Sillitoe said he should have no breakfast till he had done it. The boy then went to Mr. Charles Flint. Mr. Flint and the boy came to Mr. Sillitoe, and Mr. Flint said, " I demand a breakfast." Plaintiff said he should not have it till he had done what he order ed him, and upon this Mr. Flint and the boy went away. The plaintiff now brought his action for compensation for the loss of the boy's services. The learned Counsel called witnesses to prove that the boy was well treated, that he dined with the plaintiff and his family, and that it was usual for ironmongers' appren- tices to rub grates, and keep them fit for sale. Mr. CAMPBELL (with whom was Mr. RICHARDS), for the defence, called the defendant's son, who stated, that the plaintiff gave him bad meat, and a cheese called Skim Dick, which he could not eat; that he kept particular joints for himself, and altogether treated him in a very shameful manner ; that he set him to pick rags, by which he was covered with vermin.—But this evidence was contradicted on his cross-examination, and that of the defendant's other witnesses. Mr. Justice P&esc-A great deal has been introduced into this case which has no more to do with it than Pekin, in China, because the facts are not upon the record, and so I shall tell the Jury; however, let them take their course, it will weigh nothing at all in the case, if I have strength to say what I intend.

ANTI-CATHOLIC OUTRAGE AT INVER NEss.—On Friday evening a number of boys and disor derly lads assembled at the Castle-hill (a fine green emi nence which overlooks the river Ness), for the purpose of burning a sort of effigy expressive, of their hatred of Popery. They afterwards adjourned to the High-street, and en camped in front of the Exchange, directly before the Po lice Office. Here they continued some time, shouting and huzzaing, till one of their number procured another effigy, or scarecrow, which he hoisted up, and immediately the whole party set off en masse down Church-street. They turned up by New-street, and, we regret to state, broke the door and windows of the Catholic Chapel. On return to their former position, their number had greatly increased, and the authorities began to be alarmed. With a view to intimidation, a boy, who was rendering himself conspicuous in the affair, was suddenly seized and clapped into the Po lice Office, This, however, operated but as a signal to the mob, and in a few minutes the windows of the Police Office were demolished, the door broken, several of the watchmen hurt with stones, and the culprit liberated. The street continued in a crowded and agitated state for some hours after this, but no further violence was ma nifested. On Tuesday night some little disturbance took place, and an attempt was made to set fire b a wooden shed op the school Hill, b u t th e c onstables were on the alert, and frustr a t e d t h e pro j ec t.

ASSIZES FOR LANCASHIRE.—It is stated that the Law Commissioners appointed by Parliament have strongly recommended that the Assizes for this county should be added to those of the Welsh Circuit ; that the two Judges should preside at Lancaster for the trials of all the county prisoners, and of all causes from the Northern Hundreds; that one of them should then proceed to Man chester, to try the Salford causes—the other to Liverpool, to try the West Derby causes. They might then unite at Chester, and afterwards separate for the Welsh Circuit, as usual. —Liverpool Mercury. On Saturday afternoon, as a young gentleman, named Blake, a student of Eton College, was in the act of leaping a ditch with a pole, by some accident he lost his balance, and was thrown with great violence against the stump of a tree on the opposite bank. The effect of the fall was so serious, that after he had contrived, by painful exertion, to reach the college, and answer to absence, he became suddenly faint, and his abdomen and lower extre mities became cold and paralyzed, so that faint hopes were enter tained of his recovery for some hours. Sir John Chap man was immediately called in, and, we are happy to state, that by his judicious course of treatment, his patient may be pronounced convalescent.— Windsor Express. M.
