The first, which ordains that nn t►ew paper motley having a forced circulation shall be issued, and sets forth the mode in which the old p►►per money shall be extinguished, has the following introduction 't The severe shocks which, for the last twenty five years, assailed Europe, have compelled us, since the very commencement of our reign, to taktl i part in uninterrupted desolating wars, which eodangered the safety and independence of the esr►pire---ohjects of inestimable value both to so vereigns and their people. Accordingly, for the maintenance of ours, we neither could nor might spare any efforts whatever. " The development of the whole force of the state, however, occasioned expellees which far •exceedell the meanS,of the payers df taxes. We . invoked the confidence of our people. ,Paper, having the value•of gold, enabled us to meet the pressing wants of the state, and to maintain the dangerous conflict, of which the renowned termi nation has replaced the monarchy in possession of •those provinces that were torn from it, and has anew confirmed their security and independence. Our first care has been to restore our disordered finances ; and ever since the last ncgociations for peace, we hale been engaged in preparing the necessary means for attaining that end. " .The result has corresponded to our efforts ; and we experience particular satiSfuetion on Seeing ourselves placed in a situation to be able to lake measures which shall conduct us to this.. object, without encroaching upon the rights and lawful, claims of our faithful subjects. " The measures which we have adopted are founded on the free co-operation of our good people ; and we depend on their confidence, which will of itself - attach to arrangements published by us, and which will be emnpletely justified by their result." After this introduction follow the enactments, of which the chief are as follow " la future no paper-money, having a forced value and circulation, shall be created ; nor shall any increase take place of the amount of what is already in circulation. Should extraordinary cir- Ctimitances denims(' expellees beyond the ordinary resources of the State, the Administration of the finance department shall take measures for cover-, ing the expences by new resources and extraor dinary means, without in any case introducing a paper-money having a forced circulation. " The existing paper-money shall. Ist, be ca pable of being exchanged to the extent of two sevenths for tarok notes of the new bank to be erected, whit bank-notes Shall at all times he exchangeable for convention money, to their full amount ; and to the extent of five-teveaths for assignments on the state debts, bearing an annual interest of one per cent. in convention money: or, 2diy, the said papermoney.may be employed for the purpote of being placed as capital in, the new bank ; with this understanding, that far each share (the capital to consist of 50,000 shares) ahall'be advanced 2,000 florins in paper, and 200 florins in specie convention money." The Adm. toge of the holders of the paper-money consists in the second alternative ; Ist, in the enjoyment of the advantages which the bank holds out 5 and, 2 d l y , in the enjoyment of 211 per cent. interest in convention money, which shall be paid on ob ligations which shall be issued by the bank for that purpose." The seennd patent relates to the erection of the above-mentioned national bank, and contains in . substance the following enact meats " The Bank.; to which shall he given the name of the Privileged dustrian National lianC commence its operations us soon as the'number of shares thereto necessary shall .be taken : until that period it shall, commencing with the first of July next, be brought intd operation, as a Bank for the exchange of notes for shares, and shall be conducted by a Provisional Directory: For this purpose there shill be selected from among the Deputation for the extinction of the paper money, and from the principal merchants, &c. eight Pro visional Directors of the Bank, whose business it shall be to make every preparation for its corn !Age establishment. This Provbional Meetory shall correspond immediately with the Ministee of Finance, and shall, in en far as relates to tti'e extinction of notes, direct the bank, until a thou sand shares have been taken, the amount of each nr which must be 200011. in paper money, and 0011 in convention money. " As soon as the number of shares is complete, the Bank shall become the property of the share holders, and the operations for which it is des tined, as a specially privileged establishment, shall commence. The said share-holders shalt appoint, ota of their number. a Committee of 50 Members, which, together with the Provisional Directors of the Bank, and Commissaries to be appointed by us, shall elect i d Members, who, with the said Commissaries, shall thaw up a complete system of regulations for the Bank, to be submitted to Our ssinction. Th e 13 4 0 k shall be authorized to estitblisli, wherever it may be serviceable, throughout the , t rhgie extent of the Monarchy, branch Ranks; and no one besides these privileged Batiks shall be allowed to keep any Bank of Exchange. gf Ihr batik Atilt{! Isaac notes to the bearer of 5, 10 ) 40, 100, 500, add 1,000 lioritt3, which shall be paid o presvntation in eon ventiun money ; the said bank-notes being, however, declared to be a mode of payment rem:lignite(' and favoured by law. However in transactions between individuals, no one Shull be compelled to receile. them ; but, on the other hand, they may be used in the payment of taxes and other payments to the State they being to be accepted as ready money by all re ceivers of taxes. "The paper money which is brought in for shares in the bank shall in no case he again issued ; but shall from time in time be horned in presence of a deputation of the Shareholders, and of Com missioners appointed by ux ; the bank 'receiving from the adillilliStlatifin of the finances obligations payiitg an interest of 2- per cent., which interest shall be divided as a premium among the shire holders. " The specie which Shall be paid for the shares shall constitute the funds of a future hank of ex change:, by means of which Wits of exchange and other commercial effects upon solid houses of businesc, as also bank-hilts, •shall be discounted. The bank, however, stroll not lend upon mortgage .until their operations fur the extinction of th e paper money and for exchange shall be in . furl activity. and unless they possess sufficient ready money for built these pnrposei. • " The bank shall consist of 50,000 shares, each of the beforementionea amount, and shall conti nue to receive subscriptions until the number shall be complete, and sltall alone have the right to .pre pare and issue bank-notes, fur the payment of whicb are responsible, besides the ready money to be found in the batilw, all the mines of the too narcby," •&c. The third patent is a sort of corollary from - the two preceding, and contains, as one'ot the means of restoring. order in the money circulation, the separation and indication of certain revennes of the state,. which are to be paid exclusively in banknotes, or, for sutaller stints, in what is called convention money. These revenues are the im port and export duties in' all his Majesty's here -ditary stales, the duties on law proceedings paid to the treasury, besides all the political and do— main dues throughout the monarchy, the sliop tax introduced into the German provinces, the personal tax borne by his Majesty's Gc riliail A O ) . jects, and the imposts' levied can Jews. The 4th patent relates to the maintenance of the value of the small copper money in eireida don, which is to be received in psyments as con vention money.

The: Common Pleas decided, that this eiremostance did not remove the drawer's liability. ME. GIYFORD WaS heard,at great,lenoh in sup port of the %vrit of error, and cited 5 Hum f 2670. 1.

COUP.T OF COMMON FLEAS, JUNE 29. HARDY V. GLASSINMON. Mr. Serjeant BEST this day shewed cause against a rue obtained by Mr. Serjeant Copley, why judgnient should not be arrested in this ease, which was all action against the defendant as Proprietor and Printer of the Morning Herald Newspaper, to Treover dama„ges for injury sustgined by the pub lication at a malicious libel concerning the Jac!) , of the plaintiff, sir Thomas Hardy, and the i‘lar yds of Abercorn. The, motion tar an arrest of judguient was founded on various deficts in the pleadings, which, it had been contended: m - 1111 be fatal to the iecartl. nr. litoer anserered these objections, and submitted that the libellous matter sufficiently appeared 'on the fate of :the record Wirhout any inuendo ; .the only role with respect to which was, t h ai it etudd not be employed-to extend the nivan i n g tit - the words charged to he libellous. To decide ib;it all.parts of a publication must be equally libellous, in - order to make out a ground of action, or that ail the path might not be : , et forth in the record as referring to and 'explaining eac! other, ‘eould be'to grant a sweeping licence to the'coaithtetors of periodical publications, be cause then they n (Mid only have to divide the libel, to Mate its substance one day, and the par- tics ag,4ilibt whom it wits directed on the next, in order to enjoy perfect impunity. The CHIEF JUsTice expressed his concurrence in this, because, otherwise, it might be published on one occasion, that tt particular crime was committed by - a person who had lost a joint of Ili, little finger, and on 11 following day observed that there was but one person in the country who had lost a joint of his little finger. Mr. Serjeant BEST then cited several cases to prove the sufficiency of the pleadings in this case, and submitted that on these grounds he was en titled to the judgment of the Court. . Mr. Set eant COPLEY, on the .othee" she, in support of the motion in arrest of judgment, eon.' cwied that it woe a vicar principle of Lew, that where words are spoken or written at different times, soma of which are actionable and others not, and a verdict is taker' as for entire damages, the jUdgurent cannot be sustained. In addition to other objections, be urged. that there WaS no averment to them that Sir Thomas and I tardy We re m tiurt, slid arried a o r at h the e ao Lady p t r i e n b le et o l f e:l l , )e w P a u s b f li a c t a tti to the record, • Mr. Serjeant BEST replied, and the ,Court took time fur consideration. INSOLVENT Dt:I3TORT cnUltr. LECTION V. SAVILLE. The defendant was brought up, after haring been previously remanded, to it»ert some dupli cates which she had omitted in het schedule. The defendant ,at that time opposed her, and being questioned as to her fnrniture, site said that sh e bad never had-eny. Being asked whether she lied not lied some sheets and some table-h im) ? s h e said they were her sitter's, who - , it-appeared . , was, like herself, a person of 110 properly, but living entirely upon her means. Fier face was on her f or t un e. Being asked whether she had not the th ief) mailed with her 'own name / she said she could not tell. whose name it was marked with. There being no evidence to Contradict her, Mr. Sojeant ihntiNINGTQN would have 'discharged her ; hut' it appeared that she was possessed of some duplicates, which she had not inserted in her schedule, and time was give* to amend the schedule. Upon her being btought up for that purpose, • • Mr. PIUNCZ - SNtTII stated to the Court, that lie was now prepared to spew, that on her former examination, she had sworn that the sheets were hex sister's ; that he had Since procured evidence by which he would prOve where she bought the linen in August last ; he would also produce the person who marked it with her name, Ann Saville, sod illao the lanndreSs who washed it in October. He therefore submitted that the Court, for its own dignity, and for the sake of jiistice, would not permit her to be discharged, and to take the oath. Sergeant RONNINGTON sfiid, ti,at lite case having been beaud before, and the detem; cut re manded for a special purpose, be could not now inquire further into it. If the plaintiff chose here after, an application might he made to the court to vacate the discharge, if it was obtained by fraud ; but he was satisfied that the duplicates tvere not omitted fraudulently. The priso ner must now be discharged. Th e plaintiff might in. diet her also for pedory. Mr. SMITH said, he proposed it, only to pie. setve the consistency and dignity of the (iota; which he thought was insulted by a person cum. mitring what, if his evidence proved correct, was a palpable perjury. He suggested that if this would avoid the. discharge, it would be better to to take the evident* now, and prevent the di's. charge. He should now reconmend his dives to promos the defendant; •ns if they did Lut, tbeywould be wanting in respect for justite I for the Court. The defendant' being a cery pretty wotrtatt, i surrounded by others of the most fascinating of 1- the fair sex, there was n general plaudit upou the I . decision ul the Learne►t Serje,►nt. A Mr. Pigeon got up and addressed the. Court, cl►,iming weetion for himself an►i Airs. Leetiotta: who he said had been insulted in the Court.
