JUDICIAL SALE of the LANDS and ESTATE of FINCASTLE and OTHERS, in PERTHSHIRE, Upset Price 40,1471. 3s. 2d. TO BE SOLD BY PUBLIC ROUP, Within the Parliament or New Session House of Edin burgh, upon WEDNESDAY the 24th day of June, 1629, between the hours of Two and Four afternoon, under the Authority of the Lords of Council and Session, an 1 in presence of the Lord Ordinary officiating on the bills, in One Lot, ripHE LANDS and ESTATE of FIN CASTLE, in Atholl, with a Freehold Qualification in the County, and Right of Salmon Fishing in the River Tumrnell ; and The LANDS and GRAZINGS of RICHAEL and GLASCHORRIE, in the Forest of Atholl, and privi lege of killing game thereon. I. The LANDS of FINCASTLE, as more particularly described in the memorial and abstract of the prepared state in the process of sale, are situated in one of the mast beautiful districts of Atholl. They extend to 456 Scottish or 575 Imperial Acres or thereby, of Arable Land, and about 2,734 Scottish or 3,443 Imperial Acres of green woodland and hill pasture. The arable land is all inclosed and of very superior quality. The pasture grounds are well watered, much esteemed for the rearing and feeding of cattle, and a con siderable portion susceptible of high cultivation, there being abundance of shell-marle near the surface ; limestone inex haustible, and peat muss and wood for burning the same in great quantities. The whole are subdivided with sub stantial stone dykes, and a ring fence of the same descrip tion surrounds the greater part of the property. There are several valuable plantations of oak, birch, ash, &c. upon the property, and there were recently planted with larch and spruce fir about 30 acres of hill land, which is well enclosed and thriving. The grounds are stocked with game of every descrip tion. There is attached to the property a right to the salmon fishing in the Linn or Falls of Tummell, and the other fishing% on this river and on Lochvack are of the best kind. There is a good meal mill at one of the falls, with an uninterrupted command of water, sufficient fur turning machinery to any extent. The Mansion-house, to which there is a suitable gar den, is large and commodious, and in a habitable state. It is surrounded with fine old trees; and an avenue of great beauty forms one of the approaches to the house. The offices are substantial and in good repair. There is a good road to the Mansion-house, which se parates from the Great North Road at the Pass of Killi kranky. The scenery of this celebrated Pass, and of the property under sale, is of the most picturesque descrip tion, particularly that of Loch Tummell, which, from its many peculiar beauties, is much admired and resorted to by strangers. The Highland coach passes daily at the junction of the roads. 11. The Lands and Gratings of RICHAEL and GLAS CHORRIE are situated in the Forest of Atholl, and com prehend some acres of arable and about 5,000 Scottish or 6,305 Imperial acres of hill ground. These gratings form an excellent sheep walk, and being surrounded by the pre served grounds of the Dukes of Atholl and Gordon, they consequently abound with grouse, ptarmigan, and every description of hill game. There was recently built a very complete shooting lodge, with stable and dog-kennel. The lodge is furnished, and of easy access, the Groat North Road passing within kmile and a-half of it. The average yearly rent of the lodge aad shootings for the las t six seasons was 1211. The Estate possesses every requisite which a complete Highland property can furnish, and, along with some ad ditional superiority, also under sale, affords a Freehold Qualification in the county. The teinds are valued, but not exhay.sted. The minis ter's stipends, and other public and parochial burdens, amount to 28/. Bs. 3id.

On Monday the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor gave a very splendid entertainment at the Mansien-house. It was, perhaps, attended by more of the nobility than ever appeared at an Easter dinner in the city. The Lord Mayor had very properly determined to dispense with what is called the Easter ball, the very idea of which would have frightened the list of respectable visitors. There were about 400 guests, amongst whom we observed the Bishops of Win chester, London, and Llandaff, Lord and Lady Rolle, Lord and Lady Radstock, Lord and Lady Gran ville Somerset, Lord and Lady Elliot, Sir Edward Codrington, the Speaker of the House of Commons, the Right Hon. Vesey Fitzgerald, Sir R. Inglis, Mr. Douglas Kinnaird, Colonel and Lady Eleanor Lowther, Lord Mountcharles, Sir Byam Martin, Ladies Montagu and Sandwich, Sir John Doyle, Sir Charles Doyle, Colonel Milley Doyle, the Governor and Deputy-Governor of the Bank of England, Mr. Sergeant Arabin, Mr. Calcraft, the Common Sergeant, several of the Aldermen, &c. &c. The company sat down, at a little before seven o'clock, to a dinner of the very first-rate kind, which was supplied by Mr. Terry, the cook and ornamental confectioner, who furnished the great dinner which was given to Mr. Peel and the rest of his Majesty's Ministers, upon the occasion of the presentment of he freedom of the city to the Secretary for the Home Department. Every delicacy of the season was most abundantly supplied. The LORD MAYOR, after having given the toasts of " The King,"—" The Duke of Clarence and the rest of the Royal Family,—" The Army and Navy," and " Prosperity to the City of London," said that he had received apologies from the Duke of Wel lington and those of his Grace's Colleagues who were absent. He (the Lord Mayor) felt peculiar gratification at seeing amongst his guests the Pre sident of the Board of Trade. He was convinced, judging . from the enlightened and liberal conduct of his Majesty's Ministers, and the effect which that conduct had produced upon the public mind, that the toast he was about to propose would be received with the most hearty welcome, and the most un affected satisfaction. He then proposed the health of " The Duke of Wellington and his Majesty's Ministers." The toast was drank with the greatest applause. The Right Hon. VESEY FITZGERALD rose to re turn thanks. He felt most-highly honoured by be ing called upon to return thanks to the very distin guished company around him, upon the part of his Majesty's Ministers. He regretted the absence of his Colleagues, the more particularly as there was not one of them who was not better calculated than he was to express the feelings which must arise na turally upon the announcement of such a toast. He was authorized by the illustrious man who presided over the King's Council and the rest of his Col- leagues, to declare their high sense of the distin• guished notice which was taken of their public con duct. Speaking of himself as standing in the situ ation which he had been called upon to fill by'his Majesty, he had to declare that he could value no distinction more highly than the approbatian of the citizens of London—than the testimonies borne by the great commercial interests of this great city.— (Loud cheers.) The LORD MAYOR then gave " The health of Lord Granville Somerset."—(Cheers.) Lord G. SOMERSET expressed his inability to re turn adequate thanks.—(Cheers.) The SPEAKER said, that he had the honour of being permitted by the Lord Mayor to propose " The health of the Lady Mayoress."--(Loud ap plause.) The LORD MAYOR was desired by the Lady Mayoress to mention her grateful acknowledgments for the high honour done her by the company. — (Applause.) The Ladies then retired.—After which, The LORD MAYOR rose and said, that he had the honour to have upon his right hand a Rev. Prelate who had many claims upon the city of London, from his zeal and industry in exalting the moral character of those over whom he had presided for many years as a pastor. It would be a source of gratification to every one who had the honour of his acquaint ance and a knowledge of his Christian benevolence, that his health should be publicly, and as lie knew it must be, enthusiastically drunk,—he meant the Bishop of London.—(Cheers.) The Bishop of LONDON returned thanks, and pro posed " The health of the Lord Mayor."—(Loud cheering.) The LORD MAYOR returned thanks for the honour done him. He then proposed the healthy of " The Bishops of Winchester and Llandaff." The LORD MAYOR next proposed the health of " The President of the Board of 'I ra,de." Since he had been appointed to the high situation of President to the Board of Trade he had given universal satis faction, and afforded the greatest facilities by imme diate communications with the merchants of the country_ He congratulated the commercial inte rests upon having a gentleman at their head who 1614 15 0 500 0 0 PRICE 7D. was so admirably calculated to superintend and ad vance their interests.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD said that he felt deeply honoured by the toast. Language was easily ex hausted, but the feeling by which it was excited could never suffer change or diminution. He felt unable to return thanks for an honour so unexpected. He did not think that any person tilling the high station he held, could discharge its duties to the satisfaction of all parties.—(Cheers.)—He pledged himself to devote his time and knowledge with the greatest assiduity to the discharge of those duties, and should depend upon the well-known impartia lity and justice of Englishmen. No testimony could be more grateful to a public ma❑ than the manifes tation of such applause as had been bestowed upon him.—(Cheers.) The healths of the Speaker of the House of Commons, of Lord Rohe, the Governor of the flank of England, the City Magistrates, &C. &e, followed. _ _ _ . Quadrilles commenced about eleyen o'clock in the great hall, and closed the most magnificent entertainment we ever witnessed at this season of the year at the Mansion-house. WRESTLING AND SINGLE STICK. Yesterday these 'sports were renewed at the Eagle Tavern, City-road, and according to the pledge given the twenty-four standards were made. In the list of double players for the prizes, at wrest ling, appear the names of James Rook of Cornwall, and Archer, the new crack man from Devon, with Steer, Copp, and other known good men. At single-stick, Stone, sen. and jun. from Somer set, Lavis, Woodfield, of the Guards, &c. will come in contact. George Rook, who yesterday held out with Archer and Steer, was thrown in the single play, by a Devonshire stripling, named Mills, much to the astonishment of the amateurs, and apparently without a chance. In the course of the evening, a young man named Strike, whose single-stick play last season was greatly admired, but who did not now arrive until the standards were all made, entered the ring, and said, that having heard the general challenge which had been recently given by Stone, junior, from So merset, and being informed that he was then pre sent, he, Strike, would play him instanter for a sovereign. Stone's hat and blunt were in the ring in an instant, and it being the general wish, the turn was allowed to be played. Strike was all confidence, and played very skil fully, but did not appear to be of the least use to his antagonist, whose tremendous power of hitting put all guard aside, and in the third bout Strike was floored as if shot, and on recovering his legs the blood streamed in torrents from a very ugly cut on the top of his head. Medical assistance was pro cured, and the wound was dressed, but it was pro nounced not dangerous. The turn lasted about four minutes only, and at its conclusion Stone said he would play any man in the world for 1001. when and where he pleased. The play will, weather favourable, be concluded this day. Not less than from 1000 to 1200 persons were on the ground during the afternoon. .NSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, APRIL 21 Matthew Arnot Stewart, Esq., formerly Cornet, and DOW Lieutenant of the 2d Dragoons, on half pay, came to be heard on his petition, when his dis• charge was opposed by Mr. COOKE on behalf of Messrs. Stoltz and several others, and by Mr. DUN. BAR, on the part of the assignees of one Haldison. The insolvent, in his examination by Mr. COOKE, stated that he was arrested on the lst of February, 1827, and committed to pi ison on the 3d, at which time he had four valuable horses and a phaeton, two of which were in the following April taken in exe cution, at the suit of a Mr. Weymouth. One of the remaining two was taken by a Mr. Ordell, of whom he purchased it, and the other, with the phaeton, he gave to a Mr. Henderson, of Berkeley-square, in liquidation of his debt. In December, 1827, he pledged his sword and gun for seven pounds.— Shortly after his arrest he endeavoured to make a composition with his detaining creditors, whose debts were upwards of 2,0001., by offering them 10s. in the pound; but sonic refusing, he applied to petition this Court. He had considerable property near Lockwood, in Edinburgh, which was, in 1822, valued at 33,0001., and in 1825 he began mortgaging it very heavily. John Collingwood Trailton, late of Collingwood Hall, Northampton shire, had a mortgage for 13,0001. on the estates for money advanced. His debts amounted to upwards of 78,000/., and his general and special expences, including his losses at gaming, on the Turf, (and from 1822 to 1828 he had lost about 15,0001.) amounted to about 10,000/. a year. He betted largely. In 1822 be entered the Army, at which time his estate was free from all incurn brances ; he shortly afterwards purchased his Lieu tenantcy, and had, since April, 1826, been on the unattached half-pay list. In 1825 Mr. Trailton lent him 5,0001., for which he gave him his bond, which was duly registered and recorded in Scot and. In February, 1827, he also gave Mr. Trail ton another bond for 8,0001., for money previously advanced and paid on his account. Mr. COOKE asked whether the latter was not es treated after his imprisonment ? To which the in solvent answered in the affirmative. The Learned Counsel then referred to the affidavit in which the insolvent obtained leave to petition, and on perceiv ing no notice of his having given the last bond, con tended that the affidavit was insufficient, for the in- solvent was bound.in that to give a full disclosure of his affairs; and not having done so, he submitted the petition could not be received. Mr. HEATH, on the part Of the insolvent, thought the objection a technical one, and observed that in the general sense of the word the affidavit was sufficient. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER observed, that it was essentially necessary for the interests of the credi tors, that they should know the state of the incum brances on the insolvent's estate, although the last one of 8,0001. was not worth one farthing. The COURT being of opinion that the objection was fatal to the petition, ordered it to be dismissed. According to the usual mode of reckoning Popes, his Holiness, the lately deceased Pope Lso XII., is the two hundred and fifty-second since PETER the Apostle : of these 208 were Italians, 14 Frenchmen, 11 Greeks, eight Syrians and Dalmatians, five Germans, three Spa niards, two North Africans, and one Englishman. Extract of a letter from Lisbon, in Galig nani's Messenger:—" The day after Don Mmuxt.'s at tempt against the life of his sister, a dead body was found in the Palace, upon which several Magistrates proceeded thither, upon the pretext of making a judicial inquiry. The Infanta Donna ISABELLA MARIA is still under con finement in the Palace of Queluz. To extenuate his con duct, Don Mtcurr, Las set afloat a rumour that the Prin cess gave herself up to a course of conduct so immoral, that he, as head of the family, was bound to adopt a se vere measure towards her. This report, however, is a base calumny. Apprehensions having arisen, that the great number of dismissed officers and deserters would be come a point d'appui for the malcontents, Don Mrauxt. has published an act of amnesty in their favour. Hence all the persons of this class who arc under detention will be set at liberty. Don MiGuEL .-ecently sent a costly pre sent of diamonds to the Duke of WELLINGTON, but it is questionable whether it will be accepted by. his Grace, possible, beyond the unhappy limits cf Portu gal, to form even an idea of such horrors,—of a devastation so complete. Imagination could not invent any thing farther to torment a nation, and either an end must be put to the present state of things, or this small kingdom must cease to exist. Since the sailing of the last packet disastrous events have accumulated so much, that I know not where to begin in giving you an account of them. Let us begin by the republican assignats of this Robespierre monarch. As I foretold von in my last letter of the 3d instant, the circulation of these assignats has been forced de facto, although it has not.yet been ordered de jure. Every private individual, every merchant, every shopkeeper, who refuses to take this paper, is ac= cused of being a revolutionist, and arrested without any farther evidence. It is enough to say " I have no change," to expose a man to be seized immediately by the Royalist volunteers or the myrmidons of the police, and hurried off to prison. The emissaries of this same police, and the agents of Government, never cease from going about to make purchases with this Government paper. They enter with it into shops, and de mand change under a threat of Government vengeance. Even Don Miguel, whose object now seems to be to lay his hand on the small quantity of specie which still remains in circula tion, sends his servants to change this paper to the houses of all the bankers, money-changeis, and merchants, who, at the sight of the palace livery, dare not resist his extortion. To show more strikingly the scandalous plunder effected in this way, no fiscal department receives these Government bonds in payment of duty, notwith standing the engagements to this effect which were made at their creation. In a few weeks, if this continues, there will not be found in Lisbon circulation a single crown-piece. They will either be hoarded or collected into the coffers of Queluz. Arrests continue without interruption. The condition of the prisoners in the gaols and for tresses has become horrible, and is almost incre dible to those who have not seen it. As there was in the gaols of this city many rich indivi duals, who charitably supported their poorer fel low-prisoners, the paternal Don Miguel ordered to be sent hence all the persons who had any means of living, and commanded them to be immured in the fortresses of San Julian, of Be lem, and Bugio, that those whom they left be hind might be exposed to die of hunger, with out danger of receiving any succour. I send you enclosed the copy of a representation which a multitude of the fathers, husbands, children, and other relations of the prisoners in the tower of St. Julian, addressed to the Government, be seeching its merciful interference against the hor rors inflicted by the Governor, Telles Jordao. The hair stands on end at reading such a paper, and at observing the fertile imagination of that monster, in inventing daily new tortures for his victims, and new gratifications for the rancour of his execrable mind. Neither the members of families nor their servants are allowed to see the prisoners, or to converse with them, or to com municate with them in any way, either by writing or otherwise. It is believed that many of them are dead, either from having succumbed under their miseries, from having been poisoned, or from some other act of violence. No rank, no character, no age is respected. Even the epis copal character, venerated at all times, meets with no regard. An unfortunate Spanish Bishop, venerable for his years and virtues, who lived here in obscurity, but who was accused of be ing a member of the Spanish Cortes in 1812, was seized some time ago, and treated in such a horrible manner, that he expired in four days after he was thrust into a dungeon. In spite of all the entreaties of the priest who attended him in his last moments, and who on his knees be fore this Telles Jordao, besought with tears that the victim might be interred as a Christian pre late, such a decency could not be obtained. The sanguinary hypocrite replied, that Freema sons did not deserve Christian burial ; and thus a prelate of the church was interred on the espla nade of the castle like a dog. I heard this statement from the parish priest himself, who could not help shedding tears of affliction and indignation during the recital. The unfortunate bishop died like an apostle of Christ, invoking pardon for his assassins from the God of mercy. Similar scenes of horror are occurring in the provinces. Unfortunate victims arc transferred from dungeon to dungeon. Some days ago a body of prisoners were sent from Viana to Coim bra, for the purpose of being treated with greater severity. The city of Oporto is suffering from a tempest, which makes us shudder. Twenty six persons, the most distinguished for lineage, for property, or letters, have been condemned to death. The state of agitation among all classes is such, that if two Brazilian frigates approached either Lisbon or Oporto, the revolution would commence, and Don Miguel, if he did not run away, would be arrested by the same populace, who a year ago, on his arrival, vociferated in their songs, " The King has come !" Trade in this country is entirely at a stand. The shopkeepers even shut up their shops ; no body buys their commodities, and bankruptcies are numerous. At Oporto a celebrated house, known to all the mercantile world, has failed. Sequestrations are another of the plagues of Egypt with which this devoted country is scourged. According to the systein of justice pursued by the Janissaries of Don Miguel, all the magistrates and harpies of the law who arc engaged in these sequestrations derive their emo luments from the sequestrated estates ; so that they no sooner get into a house than they begin to rob and plunder without restraint. The pro perty is sold to the friends of these people for an inadequate price ; so that, though the indivi duals are ruined, the Government is not much benefitted by this branch of public rapine. An order has been issued to-day, prohibiting the sailing of any vessel - for the Azores or Ma deira. The expedition which has been so long preparing for these islands is still in the Tagus, and contracts are not yet concluded for ships to transport the troops. The innocent child, whose evidence was used in a trial against her father and mother (Mr. and Madame Aurajo), was liberated to•day. . In what country of the world would a child of five years of age be imprisoned, kept in secret con finement, and tortured, to give evidence against her own parents,—to be compelled to commit parricide ? The banks of the Tagus are still overflown, and threaten to add famine to the other calami ties of Don Miguel, whose reign is said by some to confer such happiness on the Portuguese nation. The Portuguese people, wherever they can make their voice heard, repel the calumny. -_1 o ()Fria OF ORDNANCF., Pall-mall, April 1, 1329. POWERFUL TIDE MILL AT PORTSMOUTH.
