THE LONDON JOUR,NALS. EXTDACT9 FROM TUE D LILY MORNPNO PATED. 9, January 28, 18'23. ['Nit TIMES.] The 13ritisli public is now, we believe, made to know almost every thing* that is knowable, if there were such . a word,. about the war between France and Spain ; and we should doubt whether they, any more than we„ or perhaps than the French Government itself, can come to any eel-- taini conclusion what that same French Govern ment will do. The war would be iniquitous on the part of France : granted : but does that Tender it improbable ? Still we will candidly confess, for our own parts, that, looking at the more prevalent opinion upon this subject with all the respect we are able, we still cannot persuade ourselves that the newly-constituted Government of France is marl enough to undertake the experi ment of regulating the internal concerns of Spain by force .of arms~ - Even if we were to leave the villany of the attempt out of the question, the danger to those who i make it is the thing that strikes us most forcibly.—The meeting of the Chambers, which takes place this-day, is looked to with interost and every intimation which we have been able to derive upon so important a subject, we are anxious to communicate. We have heard,. then, that the following is something like the manner. in which his Majesty's speech will allude to the Spanish relations :—" That the 44 Duke of Montmorency having, at Verona,. " pledged the French Government to conform " to the policy of Austria, Russia,. and Prussia,. "in all t h at relates to Spain, it has become ne " cessary to place the army on the war este r blishment, and the Chambers' will conne ct called on to fOrnish the supplies 44 necessary for placing the . kingdom; of France . 44 in the situation required for the maintenance 44 of her honour and dignity ; but that his Ma josty, nevertheless, does not abandon the.hope 44 that peace between the two countries may be maintained."—lf this is all that shall be said, the question will still be - left open to the Cham. hers, and may be decided , in a manner consonant to the maxims- of prudence, justice, and hum pity. It is no doubt highly culpable in France to hold out the menace of invasion by the quan tity of troops which she assembleS and maintains • Qll 'the frontiers of the Peninsula : yet between even this h o stile aspect, and positive hostilities, there is a wide difference. ENCW TIMES.] The French Rentes closed on Saturday last a nr. 30c. which was a rise of near two per cent on the price of the day preceding. The cause of this rise seems a mystery ; for every account, public and private, is daily snore and more war like. Among the officers announced as about to set oil' for the Army of Observation are the two distinguished Royalist Generals, Cantle! and Donnadieu. Even the Journal des &bats, lately 30 pacific in its tone, mentions these as well RS the names of the officers commanding the cavalry regiments of the guard, which have the same destination—end, above all, it states that a select company of Gerdes du Corps is forming to accompany the Duke d'Angouleme. Our private letters assure us that the disquiet which bad prevailed for some days in consequence of ti.e rumour of insurrections and mutinies iw the Netherlands, had' entirely ceased, it , being discovered that these rumours were merely raised for stock-jobbing purposes, and were wholly destitute of foundation.—The inso lent tone of San Miguel's notes, especially of that/ addressed ter Russia,. has shown the cloven foot of, the Jacobin so clearly, that those Roy aiists who before iuclined to peace now acknow ledge the necessity of more vigorous measures. it seems that M. de Villele had for some time cherished a hope that Arguelles and some other influential Members of the Cortes would have adopted the noble resolution of making a stand against 4 acobitlism. Had this been the case, no thing -would have induced the French Ministers to attempt a forcible interference with the affairs of Spain ; Lig unfortunately there i* now no alternative but to support the Rmgeney, or to sub, mit to the Anarchists of the Landaburian Club. We learn from an Officer of the Army of ()Net., vntion, that the republican soldiers are quite as wretchedly. clothed and armed as the troops of the Faith. Nothing can be more grotesque, he says, than their appearance ; and us to their resit. lug a well disciplined and appointed. French regiment in the tie ld,it is quite out of the question. [MORNINOIOIIII.ONICLE.I Spain bad not only iibt kept with the sufroundw ing nations, but nit' experiencing a constant dew teriorotiou. The close of every reign saw that injured country in a worse state than it was in at the commencement. DO,,vn to' the change in 1812 there was a consiant and uninterrupted retro gression. At tha,t iod Spain Was reduced to a most wretched and helpless #tate. flow long this , retrogreshion might have continued it ISuonaparte had not, presuming too much on the weakness of the Government, roused the latent energies of the people, it is not easy to say. We may, however, be certain that the amelioration, come When it might, could only come through an effectual change in the frame of G Q ., vernment. It is w ith the .body politic as with the natural body ; a rooted disease can only he thrown out by revolution from .the one and fever from. the other. This acknowledginent of their• necessity in certain cases does not change the nature of either. No man of sense would Wish to See his body in a state in which a fever becomes inevitable—No 'man of sense would wish to see his country in a state in which im provement can only be hopod from revolution — No man of sense would wish to see his-coun try like 'unhappy Ireland, that there might be scope for secret societies in it, and that the arm of the murderer and the inceo diary might only be' arrested by the armed force of another and more powerfal shajlow, indeed, is reasoning wiAch, w eopl hen we are surrounded with revolutions, would elle- Ash the causes of them, and think only of the secret societies to which they give rise. It is this shallow infatuation which proclaims a Church, the payment of which is one of the chief causes of the disease of Ireland, and has generated suc cessions of secret societies, as the sheet anchor of our salvation. They will not take warning till I it is too late. [MORNING POST.) Paris Journals to the 2.6 th instant arrived yes terday by express. They are still most contra dictory. The only fact of importance is the rise which took place in the French funds on Ftutur day last, when they closed at 79f. 30c., having been down as low as 77f. 50c. on Friday. This rise, however, will not astonish those who read the article published by the Journal des Dads, tind copied by the Monileur. This article reproves the Ultra journals for having represented as settled measures which were still under consideration, and as " accomplished," events which were still " iu abeyance," and in which a thousand circum stances might occur to make important modifica tions. Ir also announces that the Austrian Am. bassador had left behind him at Madrid a Secre tary of Legation in quality of Charge d'Affaires from the Hanseatic Towns, and explains that previously to the sending of the Ambassador now recalled, Austria carried on her diplomatic rela tions with the Spanish Court through the medium of such a Secretary. It is evident that this article, so -copied into the Monitcur, has been considered as an official contradiction to the alleged imminency and certainty of war, and has not only checked the rapid decline of the French Funds, but has produced that improve ment which shows the real sense of the Public on the (Treat question of hostilities with Spain. The Chambers are to open this day, when the King's Speech will put an end to all uncertainty, and will remove or confirm the apprehensions of the friends of peace and national independence in Europe.. [MORNING} HERV.DI So near the denouement of the Cabinet politics of France—(the King's Speech,- and the Answer, on the opening, the Session this day)—and whilst so many interests and anxieties hang h a state of painful suspense, we shall barely, and but barely, notice the Paris news of yesterday. — The rumoured movements of Princes, Generals, and regiments, continue—but still unauthenti cated—and there is in the Journal des , Nbats, the supposed official vehicle of the Villele policy, an article tending to discredit these rumours, and to fix them upon specu lators interested in the fall of Stocks. We do not say that this should inspire confidence; at the same time it should not wholly be passed over, at a motnent when the King's Speech from the Throne must already have been under delibera tion. In brief, it may be said, that the current, to all appearance, runs on the side of war—but that war was not declared, and neither the French nor Spanish Ambassadors, notwithstand ing many assertions to the contrary, had yet been recalled by their respective Courts.—Supposing for an instant that war is on the eve of breaking out, the first idea that presents itself, in calcu lating the fortunes of Spain, is to look back at what the Spaniards have done and suffered from the moment when they were left without a Govern ment' or a King, almost in the clutches of Buona parte—to begin the war of independence—and from the return of Ferdinand to the re-establish ment of the Cortes, by the revolution of the Isla. The former period will exhibit what the Spaniards are capable of doing, without any human resource. but the impulse of patriotism and independence. The latter will show that the counter-revolution • with which they are menaced presents to them a , vision of oppression, suffering, and national de ▪ gradation, which they must fight against with the courage of despair. Enarrisu p 8 555.1 f any man acquainted with history and SW reign courts, and well informed as to the actual state of Europe, should have it submitted to him that tho , Holy Alliance meant to have recourse to every threat and insult towards the Spanish Re volution, but religiously to abstain from open , war ; and If he had been asked what course he , thought the proceedings of the several nations of Europe would in consequence assume, we are of opinion that he would have predicted the precise course which is now followed. Spain repels the insults offered to her with heroic dignity and heroic magnanimity. The serviles call this " pe tulance and, rudeness"----" revolutionary coarse ness"--" the phraseology of Hunt, carlile, , and Gale Jones." Such language suits the passionate organ , . of feebleness and folly. A notorious scold, eloquent in the phraseology of Billingsgate, assailed a respectable lady in terms of extreme vielence. The lady calmly listened, and occa sionally uttered the calm expressions of truth and propriety. The scold, utterly overwhelmed with rage, at length exclaimed, " You insufferable, woman, if you answer me not I shall die of rage." This is the state of the Holy Alliance. They have threatened and insulted with all the fury of impassioned imbecility. In the reply of Spain, the world admires the composure and dignity which belong to conscious rectitude and the proudest patriotism. The French King will again scold revolution in his speech to the Cham ber : but war—why that is another is what France dare not, and what the I hree Sovereigns cannot venture upon. England is slow, indeed, both for the cause of freedom and for her own character. Would that Ministers declared at once and unequivocally their deter mination to make common cause with Spain against, an interference more unprincipled and more ruinous than Napoleon's invasion. About six o'clock yesterday evening, a young woman, with her child in her arms, was run over by a van in Piccadilly, whilst crossing the road in a dense fog ; one or the wheels passed over her loins ; she was conveyed into a shop, where medical Aid wns procured. The child was taken from the half-melted snow unhurt, but the cabs of the mother was reporstd to be dangerous., The horses had run awry with the van from a public house door, through some mischievous bOys Itiug snow-balls. CITY, MONDAY EVENING. Letters were received this morning by private expresses from Paris, which ate dated on Saturday evening last Their contents do not in any degree tend to relieve the public anxiety relative to the important interests which must soon be decided in that capital. In the absence of certainty, speculative opinions were not idle, and as the views of indi viduals directed them, their hopes and fears were formed.— The communications, for the most part, are warlike, for it is difficult to find a channel by which the Ultra Ministers of France can escape from the just reproach and ridicule to which their conduct has subjected them, without committing their country in a wanton and iniquitous war against the in dependence not more of the Peninsula than of the civilised portion of the world itself. Accordingly, military forces were moving in all directions to reinforce the army—not now of observation, but of invasion. Ultra-Generals, whose names even are unknown in warfare, have been nominated to serve under his Royal Highness the Duke d'Angouleme, and they are all worthy of that fanatical administration by which they arc appointed, and of the scandalous cause in which they are to be employed. Fellows " who never set, a squadron in the field, nor the division of a battle knew more than spinsters," are to command an enterprise which failed under officers of the most consummate skill and admitted courage. The great majority of Frenchmen are, however, hpstile to any interference with the internal concerns of their neighbours, and they urge many strong reasons to prove that the peace of Europe can not be disturbed. The French army is at present not in the best state for offensive operations, and all the soldiers of the Emperor NAPOLEON, amounting to upwards of 200,000 men, are on half pay. unemployed, and certainly not very well dis posed towards the present system in France. It is also well ascertained, that his Most CHRISTIAN MAJESTY will maintain the peace, if possible, and on Saturday it was univer sally believed in Paris, that he would declare this resolution to the Chamber of Deputies at their Meeting to-morrow. It was likewise known that orders had been transmitted to the French Ambassador not to quit Madrid at present. The Rentes, which opened at 71.1 f. closed at 78f. Mc. and were done in the evening at 79. 30. Neapolitan, wiiich were done at fitli, ad vanced to f;0.; and Spanish Bonds, which began at 40. closed at 111. Thus appearances certainly contradict the general war like tenor of the latest advises from Paris. The English Funds opened higher this morning, the first price having been ;63 a 77. They however afterwards declined to 76i, and closed at 76i, being about one-eighth per cent. only dearer than on Saturday last. In Foreign Securities not much business has this day been done. In those of the European nations confidence is in some measure restored. Money is generally considered the chief sinew of war. • There are still some speculations-going forward on the Royal Exchange for the event of war. Saltpetre has advanced fully It) per cent. and hemp maintains• the improvement of last week. Tallow ha, again become dull, and the best price of St. Pe ;ersburgh Y. C. has. fallen to 33 per cwt, Government having advertised for the masa suppfy of Rum, his article has become more valtaible, and an advance of Id. a 4allon must be quoted. British. Spirits remain at their late ugh prices, but Irish are unsaleable, as they are not admitted nto the advantages of this department of BriSsh commerce.- - Morning Chronide.) LAW iNTELIAGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, JAIL 27. coos v; COLLIWRIAGE. His Lordship gave judgment in this appeal to-day. A part nership had been formed between William Cook, James C.;ol linridge, Samuel Collinridge, Vieille% Rowley, and George to c arry on the business of coach and harness mak. in ian gi ul n e l,iquorpond-street, which expired in MI,• when ano ther agreement was entered into to continue the partner ship for a further term of seven years: The articles of co-part nership contained all the usual covenants, and particularly pointed out the manner in which the business should be car- . ried on in case of the death of one or more of the partners' should such event take place before the expiration of the partnership, the business in that case to be continued by the survivors,. for the benefit of the deceased partner's estate, as much as if he were alive, and at the end of the seven years the whole stock, &e. in the trade was to be sold, anti the whole produce divided in the same manner as if' all the part. nen were in existence. It, happened' sow after this agree ment was entered into that 'Mr. Cook was killed, by hav ing accidentally been thrown out of his gig after which the business was continued by the surviving partners, according to the terms of the agreement to the expiration of the term. A short time before Mr. Cook's death lie made his will, by which he appointed his partners, Aliesrs. Collinridge, and his eldest son, cc. Cook, who was not a partner, his executors, leaving his property to his widow, three sobs, and other legatees. Soon after Air. Cook's death a sale of his share in the . p ar tuerahip business was made by the partners to W. Cook, his son and executor : nominally the sale wire made by the executors to the surviving partners, who immediately resold toW. Cook ; but his Lordship said it appeared to have been the intention of the parties di through the transaction that the sale should be made to W. Cook, who bad, in fact, beeniteated by all the partners as a co. partner for four months before the articles of partnership hiid been entered into. The plaintiff's, John Cook and his brother, the younger eons of the testa*, were displeased at the sale to their brother, and filed a bill to set it aside ; and on its being beard befine the Vice-Chancellor, his Honour made an order that the Master should take an account of all the profits of the partnership business to its termination in the year 1818, and should inquire whether the sale that had been made to W. Cook was for the benefit of the testator's estate. The defend. ants appealed against this decision, and his Lordship in pro flouncing his judgment went very fully into the circumstances of the case. The question to be decided, he thought, arose on the article of co-partnership on the will of the testator ; and what had , ' been done since ? He tulhered to the doctrine laid down by Sir William Grant, in Fenwick v.-, that how ever well thd parties might have meant towards the testator's estate, the general rules of equity, applying to executors and trustees, were so inflexible, that he was bound to say, the sale that had been made of the testator's shams in the partnership business could not stand, and that the business in which he was a partner had not yet determined nor been disposed of. His Lordship said he would advise the parties to agree among them selves how the business should be disposed of, but if they could not agree among themselves, then h e would order that the Master should take an account of the whole, and inquire how much was due to the plaintif4 and the other cestai pc truth under the testator's Mr. •AT'TORNEY-GENEttm., on the part of defendants, said he hoped his Lordship would permit 10,0001. , that had been paid to the testator's wit4ar,, and some other sums that had been paid under the will, to be deducted out of the part, nership funds. Ills Lordship said, he would allow those sums to be act oft in taking the accounts, and ordered that a statement of them should be handed to iihn, and he would give hit opiniOn on them afterwards. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Jaw. 27. 111 E SUNG to WM. At the Middlesex Sittings after Michaelmas Term before the Lord Chief Justice ' the defendant was found guilty of having committed erjury in the Court of Exchequer on the prosecu tion of the" ring v. William Law," for smuggling, The per jury of which the defendant was found guilty was, that he swore falsely, that on the night-of the 20th of August, lil2l, between It and 12 o'clock, Williani Law was engaged at a place culled' the Salt Pans, on the coast of Yorkshire, tri landing a cargo of day moved for a Rule to smuggled gin. be l w 'be c a S u o s e y w c h z ()dine thould not be set aside a nd G ve E rd w ie E t n o A f L gu th il i t s 9 a new trial had. Mr. JONES, who conducted the prosecution, said, before the Solicitor-General mate his motion, he should move that the de fendanthe =mined. The So t,tcyrolt.4 ENE am. said, he would Undertake that the defendant should be forthcoming. Mr. Jortzs said, that his eUentS had been looking out for the defendant for the last, six weeks, but could not find him, and fur that, reason he thenght it necessary that the defendant should be committed. The defendant was then ordered into Court, and he appeared immediately. The. Curvy JUht ICE.—Mr., Solicitor, upon what ground do oat move for a new trial ? ' he 80/FICITOR,GENZILIar.4III .the ground that the ver. diet was against evidence. The CHIEF Jusrlez.—Oh, several Plums et the trial proved that Law was not at the Salt Pans on thiit night. Thu SQLICITOR filorgl.,--.Yes, my Lord j hilt my ground is; that the verdict was against the -weight of evidence. I have also *Vie affidavit& The Cum. JUSTICE.—ft is impossible for the Court to • judge of that without h ea ring the whole report read, and as it is of considerable length, perhaps it would be more convenient to pospone the reading of it until the defendant be brought up for tudAment. The SoLICITOII. GEFFIRAL.—That course struck me as the proper course to be pursued, but I thought fit to mention the case during the first four days of Term. Mr. JONES.—My Lords, I must move that the defendant be committed. Mr. Justice BAYLEY.—We cannot until we heal the re port read. The Loan Citite . JUSTICE.—Then read his report of the trial. The SOLMITOR-GPNNUAL then commented at considerable length upon the evidence :for the prosecution, and contended that it was completely destroyed by the evidence adduced on the part of the defendant. He also contended, that as Law had ad mitted himself to be a smuggler, and was at Gibson's house. which was very near to the spot where the cargo was landed, at half-past ten o'clock on the night of the 20th of August, his testimony must be looked upon as suspicious. Mr. Justice BEST. —Did Law give any reason for being a Gibson's house on that night ? The So ercre•on-G ENE na r..—No,my Loth. He also submit ted, that as the evidence of Scott, the son in law of Law, was contradicted in one material p a rt by two uninterested witnesses, it ought not to have any weight with their Lordships. An other circumstance, which certainly attached very strong sus picion of guilt to Law , i was that, after considerable hesitation, Harrison, the servant of Law, admitted that he had seen tubs of gin at his master's house; and in addition to this there was the evidence of a' person for the defence, who proved, that i about this time he purchased some gin of Law. The Learned Counsel further submitted, that the account given by Law and his servants of Law's employment dining the night of the 20th of August, was improbable, and in that account the master and the servants contradicted each other. What he had stated was sufficient to warrant the motion which he now made ; but in order that their Lordships should feel no hesitation in granting the Rule which he moved for, he had procured affidavits, the contents of which he would now state to their Lordships. On the trial Law swore that he was ployed during the whole week previously to the 20th August at Hambly Wood ; and that he rettimed home late on the Sa turday night with a load of wood. In opposition to this evi. dence he had the affidavit of a person named Burton, ' who swore, that during the whole month of August he was em. ployed iu Hambly Wood ; that Law was not there during the preceding week; that he was there once or twice in the early part of the month of August, but that he returned each time in the evening, and that a load of timber did not leave Trembly Wood on the night stated by Law the prosecutor. He also had the affidavit of another person who swore, that about five o'clock on the morning of the 2 1st August (on which morning Hogg swore he was at Pickering) he saw Hogg at 'lambi) , Wood, and that Hogg told him he was there before day-break, as he expected some farmers to come to buy oak bark. He had also the affidavit of another person, who swore, that on the 21st August he met Law at Pickering , and that L aw told him he (Law) was at a run on the preceding night. He had another affidavit— The LORI) Orrin' Jr'STICE.—Mr. Solicitor, you have stated enuugh to induce the Court to comply with your mo tion. 'rake the Rule. The Soercuroa-GErreltaL.—With respect to the defend fendant himself, I am ready to give bail to any amount. The CHTEF J rerlCE.—The Court sees no objection to his being admitted to bail t. are you ready now with your bail ? The SOLICITOX-GEICEICAL.—Noi my Lord, but we wilt to-morrow. The CHIEF JOrriet.....-Then we must commit the defend ant until to-morrow, Mr. Joxes.—l hope my Lord, you will require substan tial bail. The CIVET JeSTlCt.—Certainly, let the defendant give bail—himself in 500 i. and two sureties in 250 f. each. Mr. JONEW.—Are we entitled tonotice of hail ? The Curer JUSTICE.—Yes, to 24 hours' notice. The defendant was then committed until to-morrow, to the custody of the Marshal. CRAWSKED sr. EIYZS. Mr. MaD.RVAT7 moved to set aside the verdict in this case for the plaintiff, and to obtain a new trial. It was an action in trover 7 against the defendant, a common carrier, for stopping a quantity of iron in transits, width he was conveying in ma barge by the Paddingtrer Con' to the iron-works of Messrs. Ilornblower and Co., in Staffbrdshhe. When the-goods which were sent by the plaintiff got down, it was found that Horn blower had absconded t for the purpose of avoiding an extent against him, and the defendant kerning the circumstance, took `back to his barge part of the iron which he had landed on Hornbloweet wharf, and detained it, not only on account of his lien forTreight, but in compliance with an order which came to hinr from the Assignees of Hornblower, who churned the iron as property of the Bankrupt. The question was, whether there bad been a delivery of the goods by Eaves the carrier, which vested the iron in Horriblower and Co., and made the plaintiff a creditor under the commission. Mr. MARRY AT?, in support of hie motion, contended-Vat. the delivery of a part of the gbods was a delivery of the whole, and that Eaves had no right in law to take back the iron after there had been a delivery, as a lien for freight. The Court were of opinion there had riot been such a delivery in this case as would vest the Iron in •Hornblower's assignees. They also held that the partial delivery did not take it from the possession of Eaves, or deprive him of his lien for freight. Un. til the whole was delivered no part could be taken from the carrier.--Rule refused. MILNE v. GRAHAM. This was an action on a promissory note drawn in Scotland. The amount was 4901. and the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. Mr. CHITTY this day moved to set aside the verdict, and enter a nonsuit, on the ground that the note which had been drawn in Scotland was not recoverable in England uncles the provisions of the statutes of the ad and 4th of Anne. He said he was to contend that a plaintiff could only recover upon promissory notes and bills of exchange drawn in Eng land. The Loan CUIEr JUSTICE asked if there was any thing in the above statutes which confined actions to notes made in England. The practice was to bring actions on bills made in . France. Mr. Justice 110LROYD—The object of the Statute was to put all promissory notes on a footing with inland bills of ex change. Mr. CHITTY said some doubts had arisen on the point then before the Court ; and it was important it should be , settled. Judge BEsT.—After a practice has been established it is im portant, it should not be unsettled. The Lour) CniEr JUITICE.—I do not find the statute of Anne is confined to notes made in. England, and therefore I do not know why it should not now have that narrow scope. Judge liusT.—Thit it a remedial act for the benefit of trade, end should receive the largest possible construction. There is nothing to make this promissory note differ from bills made in England.-:Rule refused. SKATING. The amateurs of this healthful exercise had another treat on the Maze Lake, Herta, on Saturday last. The first match was for a sweepstakes silver bowl, value twenty-fire sovereigns, be. tween the following Gentlemen—Messrs. Harewood, 11, ter t ia n . sop, Hayward, Rogers, and Smithson. The match took place round a half mile circle, and the distance to be completed was live miles. The skaters went off in fine style on the outside of the half mile boundaries, affixed by weights. The first half mile was done by Mr. Rogers in two minutes and a second.,... He was passed in the second mile by Messrs: Blenkinsop and Smithson. Dlr. Hayward fell at the commencement of the third mile and gave in, and Mr. Rogers was beat-soon after.— Mr. Harewood, who had evidently reserved his power s ,. s h ot ahead at the end Of the fourth inile, and the race was between him and Mr. Hlenkinaop. It was a fine struggle in the last mile, and was won by Mr. Blenkinsop in nineteen minutes and thirty-seven aeconds. The Ice was not so good as on the pre.. ceding Saturday, when some matehes took place, the snow hay.. ing adhered to it in parts. Another match of a mile took placebetween Capt. Smith and Mr. Jenkins for a rump and dozen 'for the skaters. It was a good race, and was won by Mr. Smith in three minutes and two seconds. ANTIQUITIES.—About six years ago, a coffin w as found at Kingsholme, half a mile from the city of Glou cester, six feet under the surface of the earth, where there once stood a King's palace, chapel, and burying-ground the re mains of King Arthur, in a stone, coffin, 3 tons weight, 7 feet long and 10 inches thick, with a lead coffin enclosed therein,both I ancient and curious, not being soldered, but wrought with a hammer in its present shape or f orm , conta i n i ng the skeleton of King Arthur, two small copper spoons (one of which is broke), a broken red pot mask, small clay urns, of Roman manufac ture, with other Roman curiosities. '['hey are well worthy the c u rio u s traveller's eye and attention, particularly antiquarian*.
