FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazats de France of Ifiesdai.) PARIS, Aua. 11.—The Evening Ministerial Jour nal contains the following article:- 14 The Government has officially announced the intention of sending an Expedition to the Morea; it has frankly explained the generous motive and the political object of it. " Two honourable Journals art discussing the question, whether the Expedition will not be counter manded. We are astonished_ that they can conceive a doubt, after the explanations so unreservedly given by the Government. The King of France; in con cert with his Allies, is resolved that Greece shall acquire, in its full extent, the independence which is promised it by the Treaty of the tth of July. Such 3S the object of the expedition; we may be assured that it will be accomplished." The price of corn having fallen atthe last market at Lille, that of bread has fallen in proportion. Ac counts from all quarters announce that the bad weather has net yet done so much damage to the crops as WAS at first apprehended ; however, all alarms are net yet dispelled, and the farmer ardently desires the cessation of the rain. (From the Courier Francais.) PARIS, AUG. 11.—THE EXPEDITION TO THE MORUA.--The news concerning this expedition that we published yesterday, had a character of authen ticity which permits no doubt, and it has since been confirmed. Ibrahim has certainly mentioned to the chiefs of the Allied squadron, his wish to return to Egypt, and arrangements have been made for his embarkation. Will this unexpected incident alter the determination of the French Government ? Ought it to snspcnd or prevent our expedition to the Mores, intended, as is avowed, to purge the Peloponnesus of the Arabs ? These questions are discussed with anxiety by the public; and we be lieve our Cabinet has already resolved the problem. According to information to which we give credit, it persists in its resolutions. Nothing will be changed as to the sailing of the expedition. We shall not blame the perseverance in an ex pedition applauded by public opinion. The retreat of Ibrahim will weaken, but not destroy, the motives which determined the French Go vernment. It is possible, it is said, in justifica tion of the perseverance, that the intentions of Ibrahim are not sincere. England dislikes it, as is shewn by the silence of the Government on the subject when the Parliament was prorogued. Ibra him has been advised by English agents, who know that his resolution does not conceal designs unknown to those who advised his retreat. May not Ibrahim have supposed, that announcing his intention would stop the French expedition, and if that were stopped it might supply him with a good opportunity o - completing the vengeance of the Porte, and anni Elating the remains of the riches and people of Greece ? The conduct of the Grand Seignior to wards Russia excites such suspicions. Even if Ibrahim really mean to quit the Morel, is it not right to watch over his departure with an armed force, to prevent new excesses which might be committed if he feared no reprisals ? Besides, is it certain that his troops will follow him ? There are 3,000 Turks under his orders; will they join him in a re treat which the Porte will disavow, when they may take refuge in the places of which they are yet mas ters, and defending themselves, concert measures with the Paella who Occupies Enbcea with several thousand Turks ? Greece would then be condemned to long devastations, if a powerful protecting force did not ntifle the element; of war and discord she eontainc. The population of Albania will not give up their habits of pillage for a long period, .if they , are not forced by troops capable of protecting tne organization of peace. If our expedition to the Alorea has been wisely planned, it may enable Ha to play an important part in the 'events about to take place in Europe. The Government will certainly not readily give up an enterprise which may be use ful and glorious to France, and which may carry,us honourably out of that passive position to which we were condemned by the anti-national policy of the Jaf.t Ministry. The fallowing extract of a letter from Turin has been communicated tit us; it may throw some light on the negociations between the Cabinets of Paris and Vienna :—" Political intrigues are carrying on in every part of Italy. An Italian Confederation is spoken of, having at its head the Emperor of Aus tria, similar to the Confederation of the Rhine. Thi; would enable Prince Metternich to act on .• Rome, and, under some pretext or other, to place garrisons at Genoa and Cagliari. To silence France she would eventually receive Savoy, with the six parishes taken from it by the Republic of Geneva, when - its territory was divided. She may even re ceive Nice, Vintigmillia, Oneille, and other bribes, but this is not yet settled. Naples is to remain in riependent ; tfiie Holy Father thinks much of his temporalities. Tuscany has no voice in the matter; and Piedmont is terrified. The King, under the influence of the Jesuits, looks to an alliance with Austria. France ought not to be deceived by what is passing behind the curtain ; and its Ministry must neglect nothing. Let it recollect, that, thirty years ago, as soon as the expedition to Egypt was panned, a coalition was formed against her. It may perhaps he said that the times are not similar; but Austria conspires against the liberties of Europe, by the double means of the Jesuits and the ancient recol lections." (From the Journal des Debats.) PARIS, Aria. 11.—The expedition commanded by General Maison is about to sail, when news ar rives that Ibrahim is disposed to return to Egypt. ' His position is difficult; but the Ministry ought not to delay the departure of our troops, nor neglect any means to secure their success. The army of Ibra him consists of 10,000 Arabs and 6,000 Turks. — C on an, Modon, and Navarin, are occupied by Arabs and 3,000 Turks ; 3.000 Albanians are at Patras. It seems certain that Ibrahim will not abandon his position unless compelled. The Turks,we suppose, will not be included in the Convention, and they may resolve to defend C oron and Modon v i gorous l y, and it is probable that t he y ma y enough to enable them to maintai collect p rov i s i ons n those places for some time. The 3,000 Albanians may suppl y p a _ Tres from Italy and Acarnania, and defend it vi gorou4y. The conquest of the Morea, therefore, still has its difficulties,—and till we are masters o f the Gulf of Lepanto, Epirus and Albania might vo mit fer a l a num ber of enemies. Athens is in the power of the Turks. A Paella, at the head of t;,000 men, occupies ,Euhcea, and communicates with Attica and Dottie. The army of France will triumph over all those obstze,es and Greece, free and independent, will be a reconve,nce worthy of her .arms and her glories. Y. Cotta, a Magistrate, has drawn up supple menory Charter, which requires nothing but the Sign Karmal. Ile has neglected nothing. After having drawn a mast calamitous picture of France, it would have b, , en cruel not to tell us how to re medy our evils. Ile recommends the creation of a powerful and hereditary aristocracy. But where is it to be found, except in the ebember of Peers ? Will it be sufficient to stamp on the s;l of France the ancient land of equality and liberties, to bring up an army of Barons? Will ;Charlemagne, the Che valier of Saint Louis, or the gentleman of Francis I. return to the earth, clothed in their ancient ar mour, at the voice of M. Cottu? We are a people of citizens, and it is not now, f or the first time, that the blood of the noble has mingled with that of villeins. In England there is primogeniture, en rail, and hereditary electors. Liberty is there founded on privileges; but as we cannot have in France the long and solemn cortege of feudal Con etitutinns, which support civilization in its progr ess among our neighbours, we cannot h ave our neigh bours' aristocracy. M. Cotta's plan will receive justice from ridicule. (From the Constitutiannel.) PARIS, Aca. 11.—M. Cottu having been repulsed b some electors whose suffrages he demanded, has 'Th9 Conftitutiennee and the Corrier. attacked the Law of Election. The electors are enemies of public order. He does not even forgive the Chamber, which he describes as a threatening emanation of a threatening body. These, are M. Cottu's new revelations. At Cherbourg the fallowing ships of war are building;—The Due de Bordeaux, 120 guns ;, the Sufren and the Genereux, of 80; the Jupiter , of 74; the Melpomene, 64-gun frigate; and the Belle Gabrielle, a 60-gun' frigate,' were la tely laid down. The Duc de Bordeaux will not be launched till next year, when tie new basin will be opened. The &pen is to be walled-sided, a mode of construction On which the French Editor dwells at length, but which has been too long practised in this country for us to be ignorant of its advantages.

(From the Messager des Chambres of the 13th inst.) " PARIS, AUG. 12.—We have just received by express the following news from the Russian army::— " ODESSA, JtTLY 23.—An Aide-de-Camp of Ge neral Paskewitch brought the day before yesterday the following news :—The Imperial colours are fly ing on the walls of the important fortress of Kars, which was taken by storm on the 15th of July, at eight o'clock in the morning. Upon an eminence which commands the town, on the south-west side, was an entrenched camp, which it was absolutely necessary to get possession of, in order to carry on the siege. " Our troops attacked the Turks with impetuo sity with the bayonet, and dislodged them from that formidable position, notwithstanding their superio rity in numbers, and the vigorous resistance they made. In the pursuit we passed three ramparts, by which we made ourselves masters of the suburbs, and the town ; part of the garrison had time to es cape into the citadel. " Terrified by our success, the enemy, to the num ber of 5,000 men, laid down their arms; besides 1,250, who were made prisoners during the attack. Among the prisoners are Mehemet Amin, Pacha of two tails, Commander of the Cavalry, Vali Aga, and many other officers. " The attack continued three hours. The ground occupied by the camp, as well as the suburbs, were covered with the Turkish slain. The loss of the enemy in killed and wounded is 2,000. Three thou sand cavalry, who were in the fortress, escaped into le mountains; the garrison amounted to 11,000 We had one officer and 33 privates killed ; one captain, 13 officers, and 216 privates wounded. We found in the fortress 1.:1 pieces of cannon, 33 standards, and considerable quantity of ammunition, arms, magazines of corn, &c. " Kars is one of the principal fortresses of Asia. Three ranges of thick walls, flanked by towers which are constructed in the form of bastions, surround the town and part of the suburbs. The whole is pro tected by a citadel, situated on the summit of a mountain named Karadag : 1.51 pieces of cannon command the plain in every direction; a rocky soil, which rendered the works of the besiegers difficult, added to the obstacles which we had to conquer.'

THE RUSSIANS AT CIIOUMLA At a late hour this afternoon we. received the Prussian State Gazette of the 9th inst., con taining accounts from the Russian Grand Army up to the 21st July inclusive, on which day the Russians occupied, after having driven the Turks before them, the heights new Choumla. It ap pears that on the 16th the EMPEROR'S head quarters were at Uschanli, from which they moved on the 17th to Jasitepe, and subsequently moved on towards Choumla. The Turks, to the amount of 8 or 10,000 men, cavalry and artillery, defended the strong posts on the high grounds before Choumla with great obstinacy, but they were compelled to fall hack on the fortifications. The division sent to invest Varna has had a sharp encounter with the enemy, who made a s ortie from the fort, te en terprise but they ret i re d w i t h l oss t o V arna . From all the se operati ons , i t now ap pears pretty p lain that th e EMPEROR is resolved npen attacking Choumla, an d forcing his way across Mount 1f he licceed' the glory will be proportiona te to the difficulty of h ; a nd if he fail, he only fails where all others have failed before him. But we are in. dined to believe, notwitktanding the acknow ledged strength of the place, that the relative superiority of the present Russian army is so great, both in effective force and strict veteran discipline to former armies, that the chances of success are decidedly in favour of the EMPEROR. However, another day may determine, for the army has now advanced to the ramparts, prepared to storm them, and the success of General PAS.. KEWITSCH in Asia, must greatly excite their emulation. Besides the glory of succeeding, where all have failed before them, must be a noble incentive to enterprise—and that too with the feeling that the EMPEROR beholds their valour : NEWS FROM THE THEATRE OF WAR. BICILLIit, AUG. 9, On the 16th of July, the Emperor's head-quarters were at !lichenli, and the vanguard had proceeded towards Jenibazar. Near Varna General Count Suchtelin had a sharp engagement with the garrison, which made a sally, and repulsed it with considerable loss. On the 17th of July, after a very fatiguing march, through bad roads, broken up by the unfavourable weather, the Imperial head-quarters arrived at Jasitepe. General Benkendorff was sent with a detachment to wards Pravadi, in order to drive the enemy from that place, and to make himself master of the communication be tween Chonmla and Varna. The Emperor has issued an order of the day strictly en joining the troops to behave with humanity to the enemy, because the nun were extremely indignant at the Turks having, according to their custom, cut off the heads of the Russians who were slain. On the liith of July the head-quarters moved to Turk- Arnoutlar, in a fertile country, and on the 19th, they mov ed to the eminences of Jenibazar, opposite the enemy's out posts, whose tents were seen on the heights of Choumla. Ou the 20th the army marched towards Choumla, the enemy consisting of 8 or 10,000 men, cavalry and artillery, vigo rously defended the eminences, but were driven back into the entrenchments before Choumla, and the army imme diately bivouacked on the eminences oposite that place. Our loss is inconsiderable, but the death of Col. Read, the Emperor's Aide-de-camp, is much regretted. On the 2lst, part of our army occupied without resistance the heights near Choumla. Gen. Snchtelin has defeated a body of Turks, who swam over the Leman to get in the rear of our corps before Varna. The siege of Silistria was begun on the 21st July. RESIGNATION OF THE LORD HIGH ADMIRAL. It has been very strongly reported this fore noon that his Royal Highness the Duke of CLARF.NCE had resigned the Office of Lord High Admiral. We do not vouch for the fact, but give the report as we have heard it. —The conduct of Ministers is said to be the cause. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the '7th instant, received this morning, contains some further accounts corroborative of the evacuation of the Morea, in consequence of the stipulations en tered into between IBRAHIM PACIIA and the Allied Admirals : SMYRNA, JULY' 4. An English frigate has brought to Vourla the joyful news that the European . Admirals, and Count Capo d'lstria, have had an interview with Ibrahim Pacha, and have made a formal convention with him, to supply his army with provisions from Zante, on his engaging tp eva cuate the Morea. As English brig was sent to Alexan dria to procure vessels necessary for the conveyance of the troops. Till the time that the evacuation shall actually be effected the blockade of Navarin, Canal, and Alex andria, is merely for the purpose of observation, as an ar mistice in fact exists. We flatter ourselves here that the Ambassadors will soon land at Vourla. GENEVA ) ALIO. 1. We are informed here, that Jacob Rizo, the well known author of the History of Modern Greece, and of Modern Greek Literature, has been lent on an extraordinary Alia sinn to the Islands of the Archipelago, where be will exer cise the functions of a Governor or Prefect. HAMEURCIII y JULY 28. Our journal, have published the Commercial Colwell- tion which the Hanseatic cities in conjunction, and each separately, have concluded with North America,rmd which is extremely important to all Germany, because it concerns the most important branch of its commerce next to that with England, as its principal ports, and from the main rivers, the Elbe and Weser. At the same time the decla ration of the Duke of Wellington, in the Upper House, respecting the policy of England, has inspired here entire confidence that the peace of the ocean will continue—that the freedom of the Elbe and the Weser will be employed only for commercial, and not for military objects--and that in general cur trade will continue in its regular course. The fluctuations in the price of stocks, and of many kinds of goods, have been ended here, as it were, at a single blow. Only the Turkish war, remote as it is, ap pears to have some influence on the prices of corn. They are slowly rising, though the most abundant harvest al ready occupies all hands, and suffers but little from the continuance of wet (but very warm) weather. It is understood to be already settled who is to be present en our part at the conferences to be opened on the 15th of next month at Cassel, respecting the commercial conven tions between the States, which are interposed between the different parts of the Russian dominions. At Hildeshiem the new Chapter has been formally opened by Bishop Von Ledebuhr, of Paderborn, and it will shortly proceed to the election of a Bishop. The Government has secured to itself the appointment of one canon. VIENNA, Am - x.4r 2.—Metalliques, 93 3-16ths; Bank Shares, 1,068. It appears by the New York Enquirer that the late aggressions of the Brazilian Government on American commerce have greatly offended the United States, who are determined to make reprisals. An American vessel had been burnt by the Brazilians ; and the Americans have now ordered several frigates to be in readiness to proceed to Rio Janeiro to destroy the Brazilian squadron. Commodore BtDDLE will probably have the command of the squadron, the vessels of which will all be commanded by Post Captains. Brussels Papers of the 13th-inst. contain fur ther particulars touching the evacuation of the Morea by the Egyptians : VIENNA, AIM. 3. The Austrian Observer gives to•day news from Corfu to the 14th July. They announce the arrival in that port of the French ship of the line La Conguerant, with Ad miral de Rigny ; of the Asia, Admiral Codrington, and of several ether English men-of-war, which came last from Zante. According to these letters, Count Capo d'lstria, on board the Russian ship of the line the Azoff, had sailed on the 10th from Zante for Dragomestre, in order to have an interview with General Church. He will afterwards go to Corfu, where Mr. Stratford Canning and M. de Ri. beaupierre are shortly expected. The Corfu Gazette confirms the intention of 'lbrahim Pacha to evacuate the Morea. A cutter of the Greek Government, coming from Poros, has brought to Count Guillesninot despatches from his Government, and probably also from M. J. de Sr. Denis, the French Consul at Parcel. He had entered the port under Creek colours, but as no armed vessel, either Turkish or Greek, is allowed to anchor in the port ? it was obliged to go out again ? till it obtained permission to anchor in the roads, near the qua rantine establishment. 'lbis vessel sailed again on the 14th, in the evening, and steered a southerly course. News had been received at Corfu, that the garrison of Coron, chiefly Albanians, who mutised against Ibrahim, in April, about their arrears of pay, and afterwards submitted again, after refusing the proposals of the allied squadrons to deliver up the fortress to the Greeks, had finally left, to return to Al bania through the Peloponneaus. A letter from Zante, of the 10th July, says, that the Azoff and a Russian brig, and afterwards the Warspite with Count Capo d'lstria on board, arrived there on the night of the Bth. M. Sandrini, the Russian Consul, went alongside these vessels, and on his return it was reported at Zaute, that Ibrahim would evacuate the Mores in twenty days at the farthest. On the 9th, at ten in the morning, Admirals Codring ton and Von Heyden had a conference, and were after wards joined by Count Capo d'lstria, whom they received with the greatest distinction on his landing, and had a conference of three hours, at which were Sir E. Parker, commanding the IVarspite, the Captain of the .alvdr, and Sir E. Codrington's secretary. The same day Admiral Codrington sent the Racer, with'despatchee, it is supposed, to Corfu, and Admiral de Rigny. All these ships of war sailed again by the 13th. BUIJSVII.2, Aro. 12. His Majesty has granted to Bruges and Ostend, permis sion to form a general entrepStlike that at Amsterdam. A respectable correspondent has called our at tention to the shameless pertinacity of some prints in persisting to assert that the Right Hon. CHAS. GRANT is a proprietor of the SuN, and a contributor to its columns. We have already so distinctlystated to the contrary, that we had hoped there would be no further necessity for alluding to a subject which is evidently persisted in from the moss obvious as well as unworthy motives. However, once for all we declare that the Right Honourable Gentleman has never had connexion with this paper in any manner what ever—he has not advanced a shilling to its ex penses, nor contributed a line to its columns. The success of the SuNhas been entirely owing to its consistency of character and enterprising exertions. We would not have deigned to al lude to the subject, but for the respectability of our Correspondent. The rumour still gains ground that a serious misunderstanding exists iR the Ministry, touching not only Foreign but Domestic matters'. It began with the Bishops, and is not likely to end with the Jesuits. We know more than we choose to say at this moment. The Tory prints had better look to their consistency. Frankfort Papers of the 7th inst. have been received, and from their tenour it would appear that the war in the East is not at all popular with the Turks, especially those of Smyrna. CAPo DISTRIA improves in the affections of the Greeks as his wealth increases : FRANKFORT, 8110. G. EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER FROII SMYRNA, JUT.Y 8.) To judge by the perfect tranquillity that reigns here, one would think that the war had not yet begun ; the Turks do not at all consider this as a national war, they say that they have been oppressed with taxes to form regular troops, and that it is now the business of the latter to defend the country. The Standard of the Prophet is not yet dis played, and it is difficult to foresee what effect this event would have on the people. " Count Capo D'htria is not beloved in Greece, but as he now receives more money the Greeks will pay their Court to him." FROM.THE DAIVIEK, JULY 27. The large transfers of Turkish property to Austria by means of bilk of exchange, &c. continue. All the open country, up to the foot of the Balkan, is either accompanied by troops or entirely depopulated of Greek inhabitants : in Easton Bulgaria intestine war has broken out between the Greeks and the Turks, in which the Catholics take no part. At Sophia, the Turks hid formed a corps of volunteers of 800 young men, chiefly rich Greeks. The latter, how ever, deceived the vigilance of the Turkish troops, joined with them, and all went over to the Russians.. The letters from Constantinople of the 12th uly are of a very warlike description. Since the PORTE received the news of the surrender of Brailow on the 18th, they are very active in their military preparations, all the inhabitants of the capital are armiag, and a great number of horses have been put into requisition. The Grand Vizier is preparing for his departure, but this will not take place before the lines of the Balkan and the entrenched camp at Choumla are carried or turned. Troops are constantly being sent to Choumla. Great fear is enter tained of the serious investment of Varna, and considerable corps of infantry and. cavalry have been sent to reinforce that garrison. Order and tranquillity still prevail at Constantinople. By the following official communication, it 'will be seen that our Government have given another proof, if any were wanting, of their im becility and base truckling to Despotic Rulers, wholly regardless of the interests of this country as well as of the national honour. How MET TERNICH the Second . will reconcile this to Eng lish reason, remains to be seen ; but from all th .at has yet resulted from his foreign policy, .the nation has bitter cause to cry out ABERDEEN, avva r "Foreign Office, Aug. 13. " Sir--I am directed by the Earl of Aberdeen to ac quaint you, for the information:of the Committee at Lloyd's, that intelligence has been received at this Office of an effec- tive blockade of the port of Funchal, in the island of Ma deira, having been declared by the Government existing in Portugal " I am, &c. "DUNG!, AS." (Signed) a To the Chairman of the Committee at Lloyd's." By the French Papers received this morning by express, it will be seen that the Russian army, under General PASKEWITSCH, has taken the important fortress of Kars, in Asia, by storm. The loss of the Turks in killed and wounded was 2,000 men, while that of the Russians was very trifling. Thegarrison amounted to 11,000 men, of whom 5,000 laid down their arms, and 1,250 were taken during the assault : 3,000 cavalry escaped into the mountains : 151 pieces of cannon and 33 standards were taken, besides a considerable quantity of arms, ammunition, corn, &c. REVOLT AT RIO JANEIRO. The, foltowing is from a Guernsey Paper, of the 12th. August The brig Three Sisters, arrived here this morning from the Brazils, brought letters from Rio to the 14th of June ; we learn from them that a very serious affray took place on the 12th of June between the Foreign regiments awd the Black troops, in which upwards of fifty of the former were killed EXTRACT OF A LETTER. " I am sorry to announce the continuation of the dis graceful war between the Emperor and the Republic. An internal affair has taken place which I think will induce the Emperor to come to some terms; what I allude to is a dispute whiCh took place between the foreign regiment and the black soldiers the day before yesterday. It appears that the Germans and Irish, finding themselves ill treated, and their frequent complaints not looked into, agreed on a re. volt, and last Wednesday several of them appeared in the Campo with arms, and fired on every one who attempted to pass. I afterwards learnt that not more than 40 mus kets were foundamongst them. All the infantry, cavalry, artillery, and guard of honour were called out to quell the disturbance, in which they finally succeeded ; and after playing their artillery on them, accompanied by two or three rounds of musketry, the Germans and Irish, finding themselves too weak, retreated into their barracks, where they afterwards surrendered, on a promise they should be permitted to leave the service. From 50 to 60 foreigners were killed ; the loss of the Brazilian side is not known ; those stationed at the barracks of Saint Christavor rose the following day, but were soon quelled by the liberal promises of the Emperor. It is reported he headed the cavalry himself. Their behaviour was certainly like madmen, and they committed great depredations in every street towards the Campo. It may be well said that no foreigner's life is secure after dark, for the slavea bear mortal enmity to wards us, considering us in the same light as the Irish. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, Twszrz O'CLOCK. The official notice which has been given to the mercantile part of the community, by which the blockade of Madeira is acknowledged as effective on the part of the existing Government of Portugal, has created but one feeling in the city, whiCh is that of humiliation to the once proud and independent feeling of this country ; while our neighbours are evincing a feeling of kindness and commiseration for the unfortunates connected with the Constitu tional Government of our ancient Ally, we seem to be trying, by all the means we can, to pursue an opposite course, and if our desire is to lay the charac ter of the country with foreigners prostrate, we are indeed likely fully to realize our desires in this re spect ; that this will be the general view of the people of these kingdoms, is too certain. By the Three Sisters, which has arrived at Guernsey from Rio de Janeiro, letters to the IGth of June have been received; she brings accounts of it serious commo tion in tilat town between the German and Irish and the native troops; the former went out, in the first instance, as settlers, but were eventually intended to recruit the army of Don Pedro ; the revolt was serious for a time, and eventually the marines of the English and French vessels lying in the harbour were landed with thirty rounds of ball, the whole garrison was also under arms, and not without the loss of upwards of ,100 lives, was the disturbance quelled; great excesses it appears were exercised towards the houses and effects of the inhabitants, and numbers suffered from the fire 9f the contending parties. When the Sisters sailed all was tranquil, and the foreign troops had been distributed in different parts of the country, and on board the hulks and vessels in the harbour.

The harvest proceeds slowly in this county, and the Agriculturists have a trying season, as well as a very expensive one to encounter, before their crops can be housed. The continued rains have generally injured the wheat and barley in the forward situations, particularly where the crop was laid, and in many places the corn has spurted. Those who hackled their wheat sheaves have escaped with less damage than they expected, and we hope the practice will become more general.—Hereford.TournO.

Thw'LoßD CHANcEmoR was occupied in heady; Cour4l in two cases in his private room till a. G uar ter to twelve o'clock. aearttsoN v. mews. His LonDsurr said the facts of the ease were these :—Sir Edw. Boughton by his will bequeathed a very considerable real estate to his natural daughter, Eliza Davis. She, in 1798, entered into a treaty of marriage with Col. Braithwaite. In the course'of the treaty, articles for the\settling of her property upon the marriage were executed in the mouth of August, 1798. Colonel Braithwaite, too, settled personal•prop erty to the a mount of 36,0001 , in the same month, in the • manner stated in the' articles : 8,0001. he agreed immediately to pay over to trustees upon the trusts mentioned, and cove nanted that the remainder of the 36,0004 should, within 18 months after solemnization of the marriage be paid over to the same trustees, upon the trusts mentioned.in the settlement. In two.or three days after the settlements were executed, a ceremony of marriage took place between 'the parties. Th e bull at the time of settlement was under age, and the whole arrangement was carried into effect with the sanction of her testamentary guardians. After the ceremony of marriage, and .the lady had become of age, a recovery was suffered of her property, and as indenture was executed of settlement, declaring the uses of the recovery. Subsequently it vs risme' tained that the lady's mother had a husband living, and that husband not having assented to the mar riage, it was found to be - . absolutely null and void. The question of nullity was decided by a trial , directed by this Court. Under these cir cumstances the parties came to a new at' rangement. They executed deeds, declaring the former instruments to he entirely null and void, and that they were determined not to marry again upon the terms contained in those instruments, but upon other settlements to be agreed upon. New settlements were made both with respect to the Colonel's personal and the lady's real property, and they were married again. Mrs. Robinson was nosy the only living fruit of that marriage, and the mate; rial q uest i on i n t h e cause regarded the persons' estate. This question depended upon the power the parties had to revoke the settlements of August , 1798, made prior to the first marriage. The." Court was clearly of opinion that the parties having bee" of full age, and tinder no disability, were fully corm petent, by mutual agreement; to put an end, as they did, to the former contract, and to enter into new deeds of settlement. There was no principle of lase or equity that would operate to prevent them. Tile case of Bolton v. Sanderland, adverted to in the to' t 1 did any thing thing that had passed n the C guments, did not militate against this dee:sion,our nor 0 I Common Pleas. What the parties had done under nn smtire misapprehension of their situation, n an d in mistake, could not bind t h em; on the contrary' their acts, when in all respects competent to enter into them, were to he the acts gone upon. By this view- of the case, his Lordship believed M rs . Ro binson would take the personal estate. not Mr . S be decided a might sked upont hat the till terms - teot r o o f w: the t h a o t r der might have an opportunity of looking into the pw pens, and seeing what the minutes should be. Ills LORDSHIP did not object to this. • The Court proceeded' to the remaining lunati c petitions. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. THE KING'S THEATRE. TAYLOR WATERS. A petition was presented in this case upon the part of Mr. Bevan ' an encumbrancer on t h e t h ea tre: praying that the Master's report, which declared i him to be an encum b rancer m i g h t b e confirmed, and that his claim, amounting to about 1,500/., together with interest, might be paid to him. Messrs. HORNE, WAKEFIELD, and KNIGHT, Or peared in support of the petition. Mr. SUGDEN, with whom was Mr. BRIDGER, posed it, on tha ;ground that there were s evers; other encumbrancers, and that until the Master ha.s! made his general report with respect to them, !' would be unfair to pay off the demand of the petl tioner. Mr. WAKEFIELD—That general report will not be made for ten years to come. Mr. SUGDEN-1 hope that it will. Mr. HORNE—My learned friend can only e xpress his hope. The VICE-CRANCELLOR said that he could not make the order for the payment of the petitioner's encumbrance until the Master should make his report. He would, therefore, direct the petition► to stand over, leaving it to the petitioner to take such steps as he might be advised for expediting the re port. Mr. HORSE—I would prefer taking so much o f the prayer of the petition as relates to the confirma tion of the Master's report, and we must try some other means of getting our money from' them. His HONOUR saw ao objection to making the order to that extent. The Duke of CLARENCE, the Duke' of CA:digIDGE, and Prince GEORGE of Cumberland, 04 their, departure yesterday from the Royal Lodge.
