From accounts arrived to-day, and Nvhich are certain and authentic, there remains no loafer limy doubt, but that a few in igniticant bands of roaming cossacks commit,. indeed, some ravages beyomL.the Vistula, but can not in the least endanger the safety of the city of Warsaw 3 and the reinforcements which, arrive here from day to day will very shortly change the aspect of affairs.

They were. then treated: with the greatest inhumanity. Confined at first in a pri 7 :son 'destined for convicts, they remained 22 clays in a dungeon, where they were refused even straw to lie iipon. During their passage to . England, Which lasted twenty.4iine days, the Captain of the ✓essel treated them in the most improper Manner, giving them only a small quantity of food, and that: generally spoiled, while the crew *ere well fed. This was not all ; after •a residence of - some months in Devonshire, they 'were seized unex pectedly, and carried to the Mill Prison, at mouth, where they remained only four days. They were then put on board the Romulus, commanded by Lord Balgonie, who behaved in the most un becoming manner towards the French Officer, He committed all sorts of . excesses, and . even. went so far as to insult some of them, without distinction of age or rank. When landed at.Leith. and its environs, the situation of the prisoners was somewhat improved. They liVed ; on good terms with the inhabitants, whcim - they - amused with plays and concerts; . 'out. at last these enter.: tainments were prohib:,ced,. and the• inhabitants were desired not to, associate with . the . French, wllo, it was said, would corrupt English morals. • The two Offi , ,:fcrs lately arrived assure us, that England. Bever was in so critical a situation as at. this moment ; a great number of manufacturers, were without bread. A.fortnight before the de parture Of the Officers, t i here was'a serious rising in Edinburgh ; the. people pillaged the Markets and the granaries.

It is highly creditable to the liberal feelings as well as judgment of the Royal Academy, that they have elected Mr. RAEBURN, of Edinburgh, a Member of their Institution, amidst so many competitors in this Metropolis, as it sbews that they are not influenced by partiality, but impress ed by distinguished talents. It is somewhat ludicrOus that a person lvho sung a song yesterday at the Surrey armee, given . in honour , of Sir THOMAS Tyra~, in delivering the conClUding words, " this is the Con s titution', placed iii hand upon the shoulder of the Baronet, an 4 was much applauded. Whatever favourable notions the friends of Sir Tnom.v3 TURTON may entertain of his merits, we believe they never be fore extended their admiration so high as, to be lieve that he unites the powers of " King, Lords and Commons." Mr. BROUGHAM considerably lessened his poli tical credit by his attack upon Mr.'PITT, and his declaration that he wished to have it recorded on, his. tomb, that he was an enemy to that and upright Statesthan.• Mr. CANNING, .very r properly, treated the attack on his late illustrious friend, at the time wben it - was uttered, with silent con tempt, but on subsequent occasions he pronounced the most eloquent eulogiums upon, the merits and the services of the departed Minister, avoiding all reference, however,' to the ahuse which Mr. BROUGHAM had cast upon his memory,. as wholly unworthy of notice,. Indeed it would have been a degradation of the panegyric, if it had contain , . ed any allusion to suCh unfounded aspersions upon one of the greatest. and most virtuous men that has ever been seen in any age or country. • Wednesday a Court of Directors WAS, held at the East India House, when the undermentioned Captains were sworn into the' command of their respective ships :j--Captain C. 0.

Mr. MARRYATT shelved cause against a ride Ob tained by Mr. Campbell, for having the defendant, who had been arrested for a debt to the amount of 30,0001. discharged.out of ,custody on filing. common bail. The present defendant, Mr. Glasse, was a partner of Hunters, Rennie, and' Co, who. were, debtors to the plaintiffs to the amount of 40,000/. One of the. partners of this company resided in Scotland,, and,' of course, was beyond the jurisdiction of the law of this country.— AgainSt the other three individual partners, coma missions of bankrupt had been taken out. The plaintiffs had proved their debt under Rennie's commission, arid in consequence of having- done so, the present application on the part -of Mr. Glasse, another of the partners, and un der whose separate commission the. plaintiffs had not proVed, was made, on the ground that having proved their debt under the commission against one of their debtot.s, they must thereby be held to have made their option, and he precluded from taking the person of any of the other co-ohligants in this debt. This Mr. Marryait contended was not, and could not he the fair construction or in tention of the Aet of Parliament. Supposing that the plaintiffs were holders of a bill of exchange, having the names Of twenty different indorsefs upon it, could it be contended, .because they bad claimed f;.- the amount on the estates of nineteen of them, that they were thereby prevented from taking the person of the twentieth 'The point seemed to the Learned Counsel to be so plain; that he did not think he had occasion to argue it farther. Mr. CAMPiItELL had no doubt he should be able to satisfy their Lordships that .he was entitled to have the nresent Rule ,made absolute. The firm. of i lliniters, Rennie, ,and'Co. of ; which the De fendant was a partner, consisted four co-part ners, Alexander Hunter, who resided in Scotland, Duncan limiter, R. Rennie, and J. W. Glasse, all Of whom resided in this country, From the eircnnistance of Alexander Hunter residing out ,of the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery, and not having committed an act of ban kruptv, a joint corrimission could not be sued out against the whole four co-partners as a company, but separate com mi-.sinns.were sued out .against the three ; as part neri of Hunters, Rennie, and Co. The ex pence and trouble attendant on the working, as' it is called, ofthree several commissions, for distributing the effects of one estate being great, a petition was presented to the Lord Chancellor, praying that the joint creditors might be allowed to prove un der the searate commission against Mr. Rennie, and that the' joint funds should be distributed among the joint creditors under that commission. The former part of the prayer of this petition the Lord Chancellor had granted, ,by allowing the joint creditors to prove their debts under Mr. Rennie's commission ; but as to the remaining part of the prayer of the petition,ll;s Lordship post poised it till after the choice of Assignees on the other estates. The debt due to, the plaintiff was . , a joint debt; and as such the _plaintiff, Mr. Ro bertsOn, who vas Assignee on the estate of the defendant, had proved it under Mr. Rennie's commission. This being the case, and the whole joint estate being to be distributed under the' commission taken out against Mr. Rennie individually, Mr:Campbell submitted, that a proof under Min Rennie's- commission was, in such cir- . cumstanees, tantamount to a proof under the com mission against the, defendant himself, if this was not -so, the greatest injustice would be done to the defendant in this ease, and. the object . of the Act of Pa l elitiment would - be completely disr . appointed,, which proVided that a creditor should only have 'an option 'of proving 'under the com mission of Bankrupt, or of taking the person of his debt Or. If he once embie4ced the option of the former, then all right to avail himself of the latter was totallyl , .?st to .11 im. Here, however ; if the pla n tiff was to be allowed to keep the person of the de fendant, while, ,it the samethnee having proVed hiS joint debt under Mr. 11.'s commisSion, under which the . ..joint estate of the defendant, and of his other partners, was to be distributed, not only would he, in effect, have claimed under the defendant's commission, and might - even receive dividends from' the defendant's joitit property, while at the same time he availed himself of the inconsistent And contradictory right of keeping his person in custody. Lord ELLENBOROUGH.said, the present applica tion did not fall 'under tl'ie words of the Act. = There was here no,'proof under the commission against the defendant; and the Court could not 'extend the words of the Act. ' • • Mr. CAMPBELL said, the object of the Act of Parliament evidently was, that the creditor' shouhl not have the property of the Bankrupt tinder his commission, and his person at. the same time. Lord ELLENBOROVG II said, the. meaning of the Act, so far as he could collect it from the -words, was, that . tbe creditor should not prove under the commission against the Bankrupt, and have his person at the same time. Mr. CAMPBELL again submitted that this NI;t4S a very hard case, and S. case of great importance. Here all the property of the 'present defendafit was to be distributed under a commission-under Nvhich the plaintiff had proved this . yery debt against the defendant, and yet sought to keep his person alsp. Mr. Jus tice LE BLANC•said;the Lord Chancellor had not vet decided that the joint. funds were to be distributed under • the separate ..connuision against Mr. Rennie. 'When his, Lordship. should so order, the defendant's case would be,materially changed for_the•better.—Ritle discharged.

The de , . ceased had kept a mangle in a court in Shoe-lane, and the prisoner was relieved from confinement only last Tuesday; at the intrcaty of his unfortu nate wife, whom he had often used very ill. The Alderman, hearing a Coroner's Jury was to sit upon the body, declined-entering into the e7i dence, desiring the prisoner to be - properly se cured, and remanded till next day.
