'avenged their slaughtered comrades. This was the last hostile operation. The prisoners were restored by capitulation, and the army returned to Sicily, from whence the Highlanders soon after sail for England. A detachment of the 78th, of upwards of 300 men, joined the expedition to Walcheren under the Earl of Chatham in 1809, from w hence they returned much debilitated by the fever that there prevailed In 1813 the whole battalion em harked at Aberdeen for Holland, to augment the army under Sir 'l'. Graham. In the attack on Merexem, the '7Bth , beaded by Lieut.-C o l one l Lindsay,led the a ction, and by a bold and prompt charge, put the enemy to route. At this time, only 43 soldiers in the corps exceeded 22 years of age. In this affair, Lieut. W. Mackenzie and Ensign Ormsby were killed, and Lieut.-Colonel Macleod and Lietits. Bath and Chisholin wounded. This was the last engagement in which the 78th had a share—for though sta tioned in Holl an d a t the time of the assault on Bergen-op-Zoom and the battle of Waterloo, it was not present at either of these conflicts. In 1816, the 2d battalion returned to Scotland and was reduced. The service companies of the ex isting battalion are at present stationed in Ceylon. The regiment hears on its colours and appoint ments, in commemoration of its services, the words " Maids," " Java," and " Assaye." Thus have we brought to a conclusion, our memoir of this distinguished regiment. We fully agree with its old commander General Stewart— whose narrative of its services, if published in a separate pamphlet, ought to be in every RoSs shire Highlander's knapsack,—that all who value the character of a brae and virtuous race, may look with confidence to the 78th, as one of the. best representatives of the military and moral character of the peasantry of the mountains. political clubs, Parliamentary minoritiirs, have always, found him faithful to his principles; but perhaps it would be with some alarm that people would see the Regency pass to the hands of a Prince who more than once has supported, by his vote, e.adical Par liamentary Reform. The Duke of Cambridge governs 11 anover with honour; and the high functions which he exercises there have long rendered him a stra tiger to the parties which divide England. But he is only the third in order of birth ; .and if the written law does not irrevocably give the Regency to the Pres:ounptive Heir, it has not hitherto passed three degrees at once. We do not mention among the candidates for this Mike, the uncle of the young Princess, the Prince of Saxe Coburg, who was ts? have shared the Throne, but who will never pass the threshol►l of the Chamber of Peers. _ _ We carefully avoid weighing the rights of these august rivals. If the mournful hour for putting them into effect is deferred for England, we shall await the decision of the British Parliament with the liveliest solicitude; and till then we shall content ourselves with praying that it may be long before it will have to decide so weighty a question.

(Front the Gazette de France, Nov. 19.) LE3IBERG, NoV. 2.—Letters from Brady, which are worthy of credit, say that 25,000 fresh Russian troops have arrived in the Principalities, so that - there is no reason to fear any farther invasion from the Turks. Ten thousand haye been sent to General Geismar, and eight thousand towards Ghiurgevo. A movement among the" Polish troops is spoken of, And it was said at Brody that the corps of Gen.

A Courier, who arrived yesterday from Naples, has brought the news of the conclusion of peace, on the 28th Oct. last, at Tripoli, between that Go vernment and the kingdom of Naples ; all vessels captured after that date to be restored on both sides. This happy conclusion of the. differences between the two Powers is due to the intervention and the efforts of M. Rousseau, French. Consul-General.at Tripoli, and of M. Quesnel, Captain of his Majesty's brig, Leventaire. (From the Journal des Debcds of Tuesday.) Rims, Nov. 18.—The fears created in England by the prolonged indisposition of the King, the sin cere prayers of his subjects for the re-establishment of their. Sovereign, the secret anxiety spread in the three kingdoms by The severe attacks which the health of the Duke of Clarence has suffered, are but too well justified by a glance at the Royal House of England. A great question is in fact-taised by these mournful prospects; and if more favourable reports extenuate at this moment. the effect of first impres sions, they are not sufficiently effaced to prevent us• approaching this great subject. When the ,chances of human life are connected with the_ destiny of em pires, they are weighed . with double solicitude. Time, which mows down without distinction, often ustifies- our calculations ; but as establishing proba bilities, neithe r hasten nor direct his blows, perhaps the alarms in. - Pnigland authorise in France an exa mination of that on . which i we do sincerely • desire may be ltng cl be ue te it s agitated on the banks of the Thames. An infant, nin e y ears old , Ale xandrina Victori a , a daughter of the Duke of Kent,-..and a Princess of Saxe Coburcr, is destined for the. Throne of Eng land. The Duke of Clare n ce , - aged 6 3, the Pre sumptive Heir, has no children. The reigns of women have been glorious to Eng land; land ; but it is a legitimate ca use of anxiet y when 6 we see the Crown placed before its time on the brow of an infant heiress, who prepossesses Great Britain ) , and Europe is attentive to every thing which may affect the political seat of a country placed in the first rank among the preponderant powers. That would be the first time that the infancy cf a Prin cess would raise the question of a Regency. The public law fixes the time at which a Queen shall lie of age at 18. If a young Princess, called pre maturely to the Throne, still reserves for Great Britain the afflicting dicussion which a Royal House rich in Princes and Princesses, seemed to have for. a long time deferred, the Resolutions of 1788 and 1810 will be invoked in support of those which such mournful events would render necessary. — But never, perhaps, will the formation of a Regency be presented in so delicate a point of view, nor in more difficult circumstances. Since, in fact, the Prince who is placed by his birth the nearest the Throne does not of right give to a minor heir the support of his talents and experience. On which o f t h e DAkes of Cumberland, Sussex, or Cambridge would devolve the destinies of England ? The first has become almost a stranger to his country by his marriage and his residence in Germany, and seems to have forgotten Great Britain ; and the Parlia ment, a few years ago, did not wish to remember that he had a son, unless he came to reside on the banks of the Thames. Manners more military than political, and constitutional habits lost in a climate hitherto little favourable to their de velopement, kitouid not recommend that Prince to be chosen.to so im: posing a guardianship. The political education or ea Queen is not conferred with the same carelessness as the command of a regiment of hussar's. The Duke of Sussex has nothing to fear from pre-. judices of this nature. As English as England it self, he is the lively image of the political manners of his fellow•eitizens. An Oppositionist; .for .he votes against the Ministers of the Crown as if he were not born to wear it. As a friend to the Emancipation of the CatholiCs, he has never refused a toast to religious liberty. Popular assemblies PRICES OF IRIS"' STOCKS, DUBLIN, NOV. 18. • Bank Stock Console, 3 per cent Gov.

FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 21, 1828, The' French PaperS last received contain some Jews from the late theatre of war. It is said hat 25,000 fresh Russian troops have entered timecnineipalities, order to reinforce the army of General GEISMAR, and the other divisions which may be in want of assistance. The Polish troops, too, are said to be moving southwards, but not, we should suppose, so much to support the army on the Danube, as for other weighty considerations nearer home. The fall of Silistria is again reported, and we see no reason to doubt if it has not actually surrendered, that it soon will ; for the Russians being safe at Varna, they can turn their attention to Silistria with renewed spirit. The army before Shumla will be sufficient, even if it retire towards the Danube, to keep HUSSEIN PACIIA in check. The Turks may withstand the Russians behind walls, but they will not have the same advantage in the open field against the veteran discipline of their foes. It is now said that the Imperial Guards will not repass the Danube, but take up their position at Issaktcha. We think they should rather take up a position nearer Si- listria, as that fortress is the most direct commu nication with Shumla of any other on the Danube. The Emperor NICHOLAS is said, in some ac counts, to be disposed for peace, while others state the very reverse. For our own parts, we think lie will be in no hurry to make peace, unless the Turks make some concessions, which their pride forbids ; or unless those powers of Europe interested in preserving the integrity of the Turkish Empire interpose their powerful mediation. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 14th contains the following article from Corfu ; it is anything but favourabl e to the Greeks. The story of their selling the provisions received, from the French for ditribution among the poor, to the Turks o f Coron, is no had joke, though the French were not likely to relish it. We suspect the enthusiasm of the French will cool before they leave the Morea CORFU, OCT. 9. We have no recent accounts of the GreekeXPedi y expedi tion against Preves a. Unauthentica ted reports say that the inhabitants of Prevesa have lately bee-, plundered by the Alban ians, and that th e f oreign Consuls have suffered very severely. This news, if there is any foundation for it, was probably brou g h t by:the Greek steam-boat, the Karterza, which arrived here on the 6th in the morning. When the Captain 'came to the Quarantine Establishment none of the, inhabitants were allowed to speak to him. The Rattlesnake corvette sailed on the 6th in the evening, taking a southerly course, and is said to be gone to Prevesa to protect M. Meyer, the English Consul. The Pkilonzel brig sailed the next morning in the game direction. On the 7th, in the afternoon, the Jasp er cor v ette , C a p ta i n Ch ar l es R oo k e , d ur ing a storm, struck on the Scogliodi Serpa, at the entrance of the channel between Corfu and the mainland, to the North. It vas got off again with little damage, and arrived here yesterday afternoon. It sailed from Ancona eight days previous, and had on board a courier with despatches for Sir F. Adam, which were brought here by a vessel sent to the Scoglio in the night of the 7th, and forwarded yesterday morning to Ithaca by the Sappho, (a scampavia belonging to the Government) with orders to pro ceed to Santa Altura, if Sir Frederick Adam should have left Ithaca. We hear a great deal of the discontent of the Greeks with their Pre sident, and of his differences with his elder brother, Viario. The Greeks are said not to lie much pleased at the arrival of the French in gig Morea, and the latter to have many reasons to W dissatisfied with their protegees. It is related here that the A/c4k brought a cargo of provisions to the south pal the Pelononnesus, which were given to the irda tants, with directions to share these ample supg . . with their poor countrymen in theinterior, but 11. French were ad with astonishment and indigna -4 tion on finding th a t th e G ree k s h a d load the ro visions on mul es an ;en th em to Coi•rm t 1 them to th e Turks'.

French officers who were sporting in M i re vicinity of the caap of Pelalide, are said to have been attackh and pluneered by the Greeks. A letter from Syra, received here a few days ate, gives a dioouragivg picture of the state of Greece. The lower orders complain of he taxes, which itre ten times as great as they formerly well and the higher classes are dissatisfied with di arbitrary proceedings of the Government. II VIENNA, NOV. 8.

The Russian army in Asia, under General PASKEWITSCH, proceeds slowly, but surely, in the march of conquest. They have now reached the sources of the Euphrates, and will no doubt endeavour to keep their ground when peace is made. Indeed we should not be surprised to find the Emperor NICHOLAS more disposed at present to take a slice of Turkey in Asia than in Europe, as being less offensive to his European rivals. In the East he has only the Turk to compete with, for the Persians are mere cyphers unless supported by England. The plans of NICHOLAS are as immense as his Empire—so immense indeed that he dare not yet develope them. Letters have been received by the Brazil packet from Rio Janeiro, of the 22d September. The exchange had fallen to 31+ 32 per milrea, in consequence of the demand for bills. In or der to make returns to Europe for the heavy sales of English goods which had taken place, the Government had also.been in the market for the purchase of bills. The Brazil Funds are about 2 per cent. lower, being 70. The EMPEROR had raised a small amount at Rio, and hinted at the necessity he should have for a still further amount, so that the price was still looking down. His IMPERIAL MAJESTY dissolved the As sembly, recommending the attention of the Members to the state of finance, in particular, as necessary to the well-being of the - country, its, honour, and prosperity. He truited, when they next met, such measures would be found to have been pursued as would show their industry and patriotic exertions. There was no news received of the ratification of the peace with Buenos Ayres, the time not having elapsed for such an event being known, nor had any hints got wind of the intentions of the EMPEROR towards his immaculate brother Don MIGUEL; but it was generally supposed that the EMPEROR was will ing to make peace with the. River Plate Autho rities, to enable him to take the most efficient measures against the usurper. (From the Diario Fluminense.) RIO DE JANEIRO, AUG. 30. His Majesty, by a Decree of the 28th of August, has been pleased to prolong the General Legislative Assembly till the 20th of September. • SEPT. 20.—Speech of his Majesty the Emperor on closing the third Session of the Legislative An, sembly : " August and worthy Representatives*of the Bia. zilian Nation—The legislative acts of the. present Session have been numerous, yet the finances were not taken into due consideration, and the affairs of justice have not been advanced as I hoped. The patriotism, which I must consider as ex;sting in an exalted degree in the hearts of the Members of this Assembly, is a pledge that, in the next Session, these important concerns, which I have so often recom mended to you, will be attended to as the principal, most necessary, and indispensable to the glory, secu rity, consolidation, and stability of the empire, of the system of the Constitutional Monarchy, and of my Imperial throne. I doubt not that the General As sembly will be sensible of this truth, and therefore hope that the time of the next Session will be wisely employed. The Session is closed. _ " THE CONSTITUTIONAL EMPEROR AND PERPETUAL DEFENDER OF BRAZIL." (The Diario Fluminense, from Aug. 30 to Lept. 22, inclusive, contains no mention whatever of the relations between Brazil and Buenos Ayres, or any allusion to them.) We direct attention to the speech of Mr. O'CONNELL (in our report of the Catholic Association), in which he asserts that the Pope's sentiments have been already taken on the subject of securities, and that his Holiness is altogether averse to them ; he advocates a full and uncon ditional Emancipation. Mr. O'CONNELL also hints at a separation between the Irish Catholics and tl•;e more moderate English ones, headed by the Duke of NORFOLK. By the Eclipse packet from Jamaica, Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house to the 14th October. Their contents possess little interest. The dandy e t fever was ragi ng at Maracaibo with such violence that w e re Principal p a rt o f th e inhabitantscompeted to r e ti re. i n i o the interior. Business was , in consequence, very dull at Maracaibo. Meetings of the inhabitant s of Jamaica were held for the purpose of subscribing a piece of plate to ~~ • . , Sir JOHN KEAN, in testimony of their approba. tion of his conduct as Lieutenant-Governor. was said at Jamaica that thy British Consul at Port-au-Prince had ceased to exercise his func tions, in consequence of having been grossly insulted by a Haytien Officer. The Consul applied to BOVER for redress, but received for answer, that the Governor would mot interfere with his (wards, and the Consul might settle the dispute as he pleased. This requires confirmation. A very clever and sensible pamphlet on the Silk trade has been published by Mr. BADNALL, which deserves the serious consideration of all interested in that important branch of commerce and domestic employment. A contemporary, the Morning Chronicle, has so well discussed the merits of the work (see our Spirit of the London Journals of yesterday and to-day), that we are spared the trouble of entering more par ticularly into them, at least for the present. Mr. BADNALL brings the best recommendat►on to his task—he understands the subject. SIIIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY. FROM LLOYD'S.

The Court after hearing two motions to stay pro ceedings under Decrees pronounced by his Honour the Vice Chancellor, proceeded with the part-heard Appeal of the Chipping Sodbury School, the prin cipal question in which was, whether the situation of school-master was to be considered in the nature of a freehold independent of the Corporation, and whether it wat a duty incumbent upon him accord ing to the Charter, to teach any thing but the learn ed languages. Mr. KNIGHT was proceeding with the defence when we left. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. CONTINUATION OF TILE TRIAL. AT BAR IN ROWI V. BRE NTONr. On Lord TENTERDEN:" - aiDi his seat, be observed that from the time already consumed in this case, and from the time likely to be consumed, it would be almost impossible to try the other cause during the present term; he therefore suggested that those persons who bad been summoned on the Jury for the action of ejectment should he discharged from that duty, and allowed to depart for the present. Mr. Bnot:tawt acquiesced, and suggested for the saving of time and expense, that the evidence taken i in thi s t r i a l m i g h t b e rea d f rom t h e J u d ge ' s notes n the next trial, instead of examining the witnesses, some whom were very aged. Sir J. SCARLETT could not give a decisive an swer to the last suggestion, the Attorney-General not being then present, but he was sure every dis position would be manifested to facilitate the pro ceedings on the part of his colleagues. He ac quiesced in the first suggestion, as the records o f the Duchy alone would fill a caravan. Lord TENTERDEN then discharged the Jury in Doe v. Brenton, and informing them that they would be again summoned, when their attendance would be requisite. Witnesses were then called to produce and read other records, in order to pursue the trace of title from the records read yesterday. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL and Mr. KNIGHT ap peared to-day to support the petition of Mr. Ferrar that he might be sworn into the office of Deputy Opposer of Foreign Estreats. Mr. JARVIS and Mr. WRAY opposed the petition on the part of Mr. Payne, principally on the ground that Mr. Ferrar's father held other situations in the Court of Exchequer which were intimately con nected with that to which the son claimed to be admitted. The COURT finally overruled the objections, and Mr. Ferrar was ordered to be sworn into office as the Deputy of Mr. Tekel. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. GARDINER V. HALLAM. This was an action of trespass, to recover pos session of a barge from the assignees of a bankrupt. The case was tried at Guildhall, and in the early part of the Term a rule was obtained by Mr. Sergeant Cross, to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial granted. Mr. Sergeant WILDE this day showed cause against the rule, and proceeded at considerable length to argue that the verdict ought not to be set aside. In the course of his argument he was inter rupted by— Mr. Sergeant CROSS, who said that the Learned Judge who had tried the cause (Chief Justice Best) had summed up and adverted to the points to which he was alluding. Mr. Sergeant WlLDE—Brother Cross ! Brother Cross ! the Learned Judge did not sum up. He drew all the facts upon one side of the case together, and, with the ardour of an advocate, sought to make the Jury give a verdict in accordance with his own view of the case. The CHIEF JUSTlCE—Brother Wilde, I did as 1 shall always do in civil actions, though I do not adopt the same course in criminal prosecutions. I shall always do my utmost to induce the Jury to .return such a verdict as sli pi t seem to me to meet the entice of the case. Mr. Sergeant WILDE—As an advocate, my Laid, I should think I was right in doing so. The CHIEF JUSTICE—And as a Judge I think it right to do so. Mr. Sergeant WILDE—Much might be said upon that point, my Lord, but at present I will not deal with any abstract question of the kind. Mr. Sergeant Wilde then proceeded, but was frequently interrupted by observations from one or other of their Lordships, intimating that there was so much doubt about the justice of the case, that it new trial ought to be granted. Mr. Sergeant WILDE-1 fear the remarks which your Lordships have made, though not made with that intent, will have the effect of prejudicing the case of my client, should the case go down again for trial. Mr. Justice BuußouGus—That cannot be, for we only decide that it is a case fit for further inquiry. Mr. Justice PARKE—That is all we do at pre sent, but if you will force it upon us by going on, perhaps the ease may he prejudiced, for then we must assign our reasons for granting a new trial, should we eventually do so. We now only say there should be further inquiry. Mr. Sergeant WILDE—If your Lordships have made up your minds to that opinion, I shall of course sit down, and I can only regret that I had not an opportunity of being heard before your Lord ships had come to a decision. Mr. Justice PARKE—Go on, go on, Brother Wilde. I for one do desire now that you may be heard to a conclusion, after such an observation as that. Mr. Sergeant WILDS then proceeded to contend that their Lordships ought not to set aside their verdict, because there might be a doubt about the matter. The Jury were the Judges as to the (Wats in the case, and they had already decided. Mr. Justice PARKE---AV hen did you ever know us to act upon such a principle ? Why impute to us a line of acting such as we have never countenanced ? Juries are the proper judges of matters of doubt, and we are the best friends of Juries when we take care that they do not act with injustice. Such observa tions are not right. Mr. Sergeant WILDE then proceeded until he made use of the words " fraudulent preference," as having been made use of by the Judge in his charge to the Jury. The CHIEF JUSTICE — " Fraudulent preference I" Are those the words made use of in the Act of Parliament ? • Mr. Sergeant WILDE—No, my Lord, the words in th Act of Parliament are " fraudulent transfer or delivery." The CHIEF JUSTICE—Then I am sure I never used them. Mr. Sergeant WILDE--4 beg your Lordship's pardon, you did use them. The CHIEF JUSTICE —They are not the words in the Act of 'Parliament, and I know I did not use them. Mr. Sergeant WILDE (with warmth) —My Lord, you most certainly used them, and that repeatedly. The CHIEF JUSTICE (with great warmth) —Well. then, I do not b e li eve it. Mr. Justice GASELEE—SureIy the other gentle men engaged at the trial will be able to inform you, brother Wild e . Mr. Sergeant WILDE (with great vehemence)-- My Lords, I challenge any or every person present (turning round to the bar) to contradict me, and let them stand by the disgrace if they dare to do so. Mr. Justice GASELEE here made some remark, which we did not hear. Mr. Sergeant WILDE—My Lord, if I am warm I have reason to be s o ; for, when I am atta c k e d, I will repel it, even though the attack does come from the Bench. Mr. Justice BURROUGHS—The language you have made use of is highly improper. Mr. Sergeant WILDE—My Lord, can it be won- .. ~. dered at that I am warm when I am told by Chief Justice that he does not believe me? Eros.
