FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated Nov. 26.) PAuts, Nov. 25.—We have received the follow , - ing news from Bucharest, dated Oct. 29 : General Wittgenstein, after having made a tour in the principalities to inspect the troops, has returned to Bazardjik. It seems that the Russians are going to prepare for next year a line of operations .which will extend from Varna to Silistria wa y of Ba zardjik, for which purpose they are fortifying the latter place. Nothing is known of the army of Hussein Pacha, which has not made any movement since the fall of Varna. It is affirmed, that since A the cold has set in, the Asiatics retire in great numbers. It is said that the Grand Vizier has taken up a position between Shumla and Paravadi. It is also F aid that a great part of the Turkish troops have re tired towards Adrianople. A ship which has arrived at Odessa from Trebi zond, reports that General Paskewitsch is under the walls of Etzeroum, after' having had several engage ments, which were to the disadvantage of the Turks. Achmet Bey, who commanded several strong places in Messenia, has arrived at Toulon, with some of his officers. It is believed, at Marseilles that M. Drovetti, Consul• General of France at Alexandria, in Egypt, is succeeded by M. Mechain, Consul of France in one of the islands of the Archipelago. (From the Journal du Commerce of Tuesday.) PARIS, Nov. 24.—8 y a circular, dated Malta, 13th of October, on board the Ave; the Russian Admiral, Count Heyden, has signified to the commanders of the ships of war of the Allied Powers in the Levant, that the Dardanelles and Constantinople were in a state of blockade. _ _ _ A Russian squadron sailed from Malta on the 21st of October. It is composed of two ships of the line, the Fere Champennise, bearing the flag of Admiral Ricard, and the Emanuel, the Maria and Olga fri gates, the Oehla brig, and a transport. The Alex andra sailed three days afterwards. It seems that the Pacha of Egypt is making new exertions to restore his navy. Accounts from Ancona say, that on the sth inst. an Egyptian corvette, driven by a storm, after having in vain attempted to enter the port, cast anchor at the distance:of five miles, making signals of distress. On the 7th, the wind having abated, it was possible to communicate with this corvette, which appeared to be called the Gide, Capt. Moutus Cavaleri, of 24 guns and 350 men, bound from Alexandria to Venice, in company with another Egyptian corvette, to man and to escort a new Egyptian ship, of 70 gun?, built at Venice. On the 7th, in the afternoon, the corvette sailed again for its destination.

FR4NKFORT, Nov. 22.—The Courier de Smyrne of the 27th of September, has some observations on the prohibition nf Russia to export corn to Turkey, which measure, it says, will be more dis advantageous to the enemy than to the Turks, and that the project of starving Constantinople, which is full of Christians, is unworthy of a Christian Go vernment.—Journal de Frankfurt, Nov. 23. • The Prussian State Gazette of the 22d, Austrian Observer of the 17th, Nuremburg Correspondent, and Allgenzeine Zeitung of the 218 t, and St. Peters burgh Gazette of the 11th, have no news from the theatre of war. AMSTERDAM, Nov. 25.—Exchange on London, 11.97. 5-10; two months, 11. 90. - CORFU, OCT,. 31.—A division of the French army in the Morea, consisting of 4,000 men, has commenced its march without delay to Negropont and Athens, in order to take possession of those places, either l4y force or by negotiations. The Am bassadors of London, _Paris, and St. Petersburgh, have delivered a declaration to Count Capo d'lstria, in which they acquaint him, that considering that the Porte firmly refuses to take any part in the paci fication of Greece, " the determination of the fron tiers of Greece will be immediately decided, with orut the intervention of the Porte; and that the French troops were to give up the fortresses of the Morea to the troops to be sent by Coinit Capo d'lstria, as soon as he wishes it." SMYRNA, OCT. 18.—We learn by accounts from Alexandria, that. Ibrahim Pacha had arrived there, after a prosperous voyage of ten days, and had been received in the kindest manner by his father, the Viceroy.. We have not yet heard any thing of the blockade of the Dardanelles by the Russian squadron. TIFLIS, OCT. 2l.—After the decisive defeat which the Turks sustained before Akhalzik, the fu. gitive remains of the defeated troops disperse& in the direction of Erzeroum, and all the efforts of the enemy are baffled. They began to rally about Er zeroum, on which account our troops entered the Pachalil: of Kars, where they remained till the 17th of October. About this time the cold increased to six degrees. The winter has begun in these elevated countries, and obliged the troops to go into winter quarters. General Paskewitsch has duly provided for their maintenance, left garrisons in the fortresses, and arrived at Tiflis on the 17th of October. Thus this campaign against the Turks in Asia is con cluded -._ a campaign in which we have conquered three Pachaliks, six fortresses, and two strong castles. There is every reason to suppose that the Turks will not undertake any thing important in this sea son, though the castle of Toprak-kale, in the Pa of Bajazet, is 10- Wersts from Erzeroum. ETFRsItUROII ST. ." .12.—The Court is gone into mournii7g for a year, beginning on the sth of this month, for the' Jute Empress Dowager. Persons not belonging to the Court are to wear mourning only for six months. STOCKHOLM, NOY. 14.—The Diet is to be opened to-morrow. The number of members of the estate ()tithe peasantry in this Diet is 119; last Di et i t was 134. The reason is,, that several districts have chosen the same deputy. The deputies of the cities are 41 only, because three, five, my six towns have concurred in the choice of the sans deputy. The estate of the clergy has 57, and that of the nobility 275 members ; and if, as may be expected, f;.O or 60 new deputies should come froethe provinces, the Chamber of Nobility will not be so numerous as on former occasions.

RIGA, Nov. 13.-10. i.—Hamburgft Papers, Nov. 22, ANEcDoTE.—The following anecdote was related to us by a ne ph e w of Dr. WALCOTT, now resident in this city, who was knowing to the circumstances. We transcribe them with great pleasure, as they' have not been published, and served to throw additional light on the character of that great man ":—When the Doctor, better k no wn as Peter Pindar, was very old, be had lost the sight of one eye entirely, and the other was nearly obscured by cataract ; and a surgeon of considerable eminence re. peatedly urged him to submit to th e o p erat i on of couc hi ng . The Doctor asked his nephew what he would advise. ;' Oh ! Doctor," said he, " at You; time of life I would tint think of undergoing so uncertain a n d painful an ope ration." The Doctor appeared to coincide ; but a few days after this gentleman called in and found the Doctor with a bandage round his head, writhing and groaning svith great agony. " For Heaven's sake, Doctor, w h at is the matter ?" "Oh ! don't you think that surgeon iris been here and poked my eye out !" "Is it you consented to an operation ?" " Yes, lie persuaded me io have a trial made upon the worst eye ; but e ither. I mov e d or the instrument slipped, and be thrust it through, so as to let out all the fluids." Without any impatience or com plaining he endured the pain, and never ex pressed any thing like acrimony. When the surgeon ca lled again and requested liberty to operate upon the remaining eye, lie exclaimed with a voice of thunder—" No, Sir, a farthing rush-light is better than no light at all."•:.New Orleans Courier.

The Gover nor-General is also authorised to take from the Revenue of Odessa and Bessarabia a sum of 4,000 rubles, to be employed in the support of the establishment. American Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house to the 9th of November. Their contents are principally occupied with the approaching election to the Presidency. According to the New York Papers, General JACKSON has no chance of succeeding. The elections in that State are entirely in favour of Mr. ADAMS, and such is said to be the case in the other States, so far as they have proceeded. Hamburgh and Flanders Papers to the 22d inst. have been received, extracts from which will be found in another column. It is said in an article from Corfu, that a division of the French army in the Morea, consisting of 4,000 men, has gone to take possession of Athens and Negro pont—but this is not believed. The French army may think that the reduction of the Morea is hardly doing enough for the Greeks, and that as they are on the spot, they may as well finish the business by entirely liberating Greece. But to this desire the other Powers, parties to the Treaty of London, may have some weighty ob jections. The Russian Campaign in Asia, like that ia Europe, has been closed : the army of General PASKEWITSCII has gone into winter quarters, and himself returned to Tiflis. The result of the campaign is described as the conquest of three pachaliks, six fortresses, and two strong castles. Frankfort Papers contradict the reported fall of Silistria, on the ground that letters from Bu charest of the 27th October make no mention of the circumstance : PETERSIILIRCIT, NOV. 10. fils Majesty the Emperor was pleased to address the . _ _ following rrsc;ipt to Prince Menzikoff on the 13th Oct. : Prince Alexander Serguevitsch-,The siege of Varna, which you commenced and directed with equal firm ness and prudence, has just been happily termi nated. It was by following the Van which you laid down that our troops had subdued that fortress, which was never before conquered. The severe wound which ,you received in the midst of your exploits did not allow you to be witness of the success which you had prepared. But I am equally sensible of the share which is justly due to you in the fresh glory acquired by the Russian arms, and I will make you a present of one of the cannon taken at Varna, desiring that this mark of my especial regard shall be a memorial of the service you perfotmed (luring the siege of Varna, and which led to the taking of that fortress. (Signed) NICHOLAS On board the Ville de Paris, in the Road of Varna. The Journal de St. Petersburgle contains also the re gulation for the mourning for the late l 7 ,7npress Dowager. His Majesty has also appointed a Commission to regulate the funeral ceremonies, and assigned 1)0,000 rubles for the expenses of the Commission.

COURT OF CHANCERY. IN THE MATTER OF SIR THOMAS LEDGER, A LUNATIC. . _ Mr. LYNCH was instructed on behalf of all the creditors of Sir Thomas Ledger to make an applica tion in this matter. When the Commission issued, Sir Thomas was very considerably indebted ; the debts had since been paid off by instalments, and the prayer now was, that the creditors might be al lowed the costs incurred by them of going in before the Master to prove their debts. Lord Hardwicke had made such an order in a similar case; but for the present, the Learned Counsel was willing to take an order of reference to the Master, to enquire whether this was a fit case for such an order to be made in. BLAKEMORE V. OT.AMOROANSIIIRY CANAL COMPANY. The arguments in this case were renewed at the sitting of the Court, and again occupied the morning. VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT. INJUNCTION.-BOND U. HALL Mr. SWAN moved that an attachment might issue against Mrs. Frances Bond, for havin g disobeyed an injunction of the Court, issued on the 27th of last October. It appeared, that upon the death of An thony Bond, the landlord of the Rising Suit public house, in Windmill-street, Haymarket, the defendant, Mrs. Hall, took possession of the business, under a will, by which the testator, Bon J, made her his general legatee. The authenticity of this will was subsequently disputed,and a suit has been instituted for the purpose of proving that it was a forgery. Under these cir cumstances his Honour granted an injunction to pre vent Mrs. Bond from interfering in any respect with the testator's property. It was now stated, in sup port of the application for the attachment, that the receiver appointed by the Court was turned out of the house, or at least was induced to leave it, in consequence of the threats of " Ben Burn," the pugilist, who came to the assist ance of Mrs. Bond, and who was sworn to be a man of a violent temper and of powerful body. It was further stated that Mrs. Bond was now in full occu pation and enjoyment of the receipts and profits of the " Rising Sun." Mr. TEED, in answer to those charges, had affida vits setting forth, among other things, that when a copy of the injunction was served upon her, the clerk of the plaintiff's attorney, said, " Now, Mrs. Bond, we have got you." He, moreover, came at tended by Bow-street officers, and required the keys of her trunks, and at the same time told her he would immediately take her to the Fleet Prison, if she refused to do as he required. With respect to the charge of interfering with the business of the house, Mrs. Bond declared that under the ma nagement of the receiver, Mr. George Wood, the business was so fast declining, that in a short time they would have had none to care of if she had not, with his concurrence, resumed the management. Then the receiver was in the habit of staying out for several hours of a day, and was always from home on a Sunday. These and other particulars, in which it was sail that Mr, Austen, the livery-stable-keeper, could have corroborated Mrs. Hall, induced the Vice-Chancellor to refuse the application. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. After some motions of course were disposed of by Mr. Justice EITTLEDALE, their Lordships took their seats at ten o'clock, with the exception of Mr. Justice JAMES PARKE, who sat in the Bail Court. A Mr, Hanmer presented himself before the Court, dressed as a barrister, and proceeded to ad dress them, when Lord Tenterden asked him what he was, and what his business was with the Court? iieraesp,lied, that' he wished to be admitted as a bar rister, and sworn by the oath agreeable to the Ro man Catholic faith. ---- - Lord TENTERDEN—You should have applied earlier; it is now too late an hour. Mr. Hanmer regretted having been guilty of an unintentional omission, and was leaving the Court, when the ,Court having ascertained from the officer that he could legally be admitted, Mr. Justice BAYLEY informed him that the Can't were willing to accede to his wishes, but the delay would seriously interfere With the business of the public. If, however, he would go into the Bail Court, he could there be sworn. Mr. Hanmer went to that Court, and was sworn before Mr. Justice James Parke, and admitted. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. THE COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS FOR THE COUNTY OF 3tIDDLISIX. Sir W. OWEN moved for a rule to show cause why the fines imposed by the Commissioners of Sewers for the county of Middlesex, and since estreated into the Court of Exchequer, should not be returned to the applicants, on the ground that the Commissioners had acted with respect to these fines in a most irregular and illegal manner, and in a way which Lord Ellenhorough, when a similar case was before him, had described to be most alien to any thing like a judicial proceeding. In this instance, as in the former case, they presented from juries not summoned by the Sheriff from the body of the county, but by standing juries who were summoned by the foreman of each jury.— These juries were sworn seven or eight years ago, and not since, and were to act for l►ff. The presentments were not made on oath, the wit nesses were not examined on oath, and in many cases the survivors were represented to have been inte rested in the matters before them. The Learned Gentleman cited the case of the King v. the Com missioners of Sewers for Middlesex, in the 17th vol. of East's Reports. The marginal note to that states, that by 23d of Henry Bth, chap. 5, the juries were directed to be summoned from the body of the county, by virtue of a precept from the Commis sioners. _ . Mr. Baron GARROW.—What was the object of .he application to the Court of King's Bench in .hat former case ? Sir WM. OWEN—The object there was to quash the fines; but here, in consequence of the fines hav ing been estreated, we are obliged to apply to this Court. The LORD CHIEF BARON—Take a rule to show cause. Mr. Baron HuLLocx—lf these parties have mis conducted themselves, you ought to proceed against them in another way. We can do nothing more for you than give back the money. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. WRIGHT V. wayLArrn. This was an action for a breach of covenant of the indenture of an apprentice. The case was tried at Warwick, and the plaintiff was nonsuited. In the early part of the term, Mr. Sergeant WILDE obtained a rule to shew cause why the defendant's attorney (Mr. Keightly) should not pay the costs of the trial, on the ground that he had in Court the indenture in question, and gave it to another party, in order that it might be placed beyond the power of the Court, if it should think proper to demand its production. Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, this day, sheaved cause against the rule, and avowed that he himself was the person who advised the attorney not to pro duce the deed, the notice given for its production having been insufficient, it being served at Liverpool, two days after the commission had opened at War wick, where it was to be produced. He contended, however, that even though the notice were good, and served in proper time; still the attorney in the exercise of his discretion, might have refused to pro duce the indenture, in which case the plaintiff might have given secondary evidence, if he could do so, of its contents; but it was too much to say that the defendant was bound, to use a vulgar adage, to give him a stick to break his own head. The CHIEF JUSTICE said that the point was whe ther the attorney had not given away this indenture for the purpose of placiug it beyond the jurisdiction of the Court. There was no question but he had a right to withhold it, if he was so advised, but even then he ought to have retained it in his own posses -sion, and stated to the Court that he had it, but that he was not disposed to produce it unless they ordered him to do so. Mr. JONES followed on the same side, after which Mr. Sergeant WILDE contended that it was a con tempt of Court, and that the attorney ought to pay all the costs to which the plaintiff had been put by his conduct, be it erroneous or otherwise. The Couap held that the indenture ought not to have been placed by the attorney in other hands, the only object of which could be to place it beyond the power of the Court. He was, however, en tirely exonerated from all blame, having done so by the advice of hi 3 Counsel. As the Court had no power to have forced him to produce the indenture, and as it appeared that he was willing to produce it but for the advice he had received, the Court was of opinion that the Rule must be discharged, but with out costs.--Rule discharged. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS-(THIS DAY.) Margaret Sullivan, an aged female of the " Sister Isle," was charged with stealing two books from the shop of Mr. Brownlow White. The prosecutor's son, a lad not more than eight years old, said that he was going home on Tuesday night, when he saw the prisoner coming out of his father's shop with two books, " when," said the child, " I laid hold of her, and after a short time snatched them out of her hand. I then put them into the shop and followed the woman, till I met with an officer, to whom I gave her into custody." CHAIRMAN—Upon my word you are a courageous little fellow. The prisoner entered into a long defence. The little boy she said laid hold of me, and says he, " you have got my books," well, my dear, says I, if they are yours, here they are, and bad' luck to me, says I, for doing such job.----(Laughter.) UHAIRMAN—Oh, then you acknowledge to having taken them. _ _ Prisoner—Why your Worship you see as bow I had had a drop of the crature, only it was the drink within me, that did it.—(Great laughter.) CHAIRMAN—I ale afraid it is not your first offence, but as the prosecutor recommends you to mercy I shall only sentence you to three days imprisonment. John Brown, a journeyman taller, was charged with picking a gentleman's pocket of his handker chief, in the Court of Common Pleas. The prosecutor stated he felt the prisoner push against him, and immediately missed his handker chief ; be laid hold of him, and charged him with the theft. The prisoner got from him, and bolted through the folding doors like a shot. He was, however, secured in the Hall, and in his hat was found the handkerchief. The prisoner=My dear Sir, I found the handker chief on the ground; and did I not say at the time, "If it is your property, take it." Indeed lam a re spectable man. The CHAIRMAN told the Jury there could be no doubt on the subject of his guilt. Prisoner, addressing the Chairman, --My dear Sir, I positively declare my innocence, I found the handkerchief, Guilty. Three months' imprison went to hard labour, Several prisoners of both sexes, and all ages, from se ven years old to seventy , were t r ied during the m orning for petty th e f ts , an d sente nced to dif f erent terms of imprisonment. It is the general practice of the principal bank ers in town to send their porters to the Bank of ° England with large sums in gold, for which they receive notes, A few days ago one of Sir W. CURTIS'S porters proceeded to the pay-office in-the Bank of England with 500 or 600 guineas, which h e carr i e d as usua l, in a small canvass bag. On the guineas being weighed 115 were deficient in weight, and the clerk put them aside that the porter might return them to his employers. 'Whilst the porter was arranging the notes, some thief contrived to abstract the 115 guineas, with which he got clear off, THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

The few parcels of good -New Wheat at market have readily obtained Monday's prices, the middling qualities of Foreign are rather lower.

MURDER at BIRMINGHAM, and INQUEST. An Inquest was held on Wednesday, at the Wool pack Inn, Moor-street,before Mr. Whateley, Coro ner, on the body of.Tohn Dwyer, who was murdered in London Prentice-street, on Sunday night, by a party of Irishmen. The Coroner-refused allowing notes of the evidence to be taketi, but the • following account will be found quite correct as to general facts: Dwyer, who was an Irishman, went, with three other persons, on the evening of Sunday, No. vember 23, about seven o'clock, to a public-house in London Prentice-street. The party sat down to cards, and continued playing the game called " Five-and-Twenty" until ten o'clock ; they played for ale, the two best games out of three win ning. On leaving the cards, ten pints of ale re mained to come in, which was drank by the party, who, during their gaming had been as busily occupied in drinking. Whilst drinking this remnant of the winnings a female named Dunn entered the room ; Dwyer offered her a cup of ale, but she, seeing a woman named Donally, who cohabited with Dwyer, by whom she has one child, having had others by her late Inisband, who was killed by a fall from a scaffold, refused taking it. In a very short time after Dunn's daughter came in, who was also asked by deceased to drink, which she declined accepting, although she did not exchange a word with him, but left the room, returning shortly to the door and beckoning Dwyer, who was opposite to it, to go out to her, which lie did, and found her conversing with a person named Michael Burn. He pushed Burn aside, and probably cut him, for Burn went to his lodging-house, kept by Thomas Carr, alias Curran, to whom he indignantly complained that Dwyer had come between him and Mary Dunn and cut his fore head open. While this was going on, the woman Donally went to the entry to hear what was the conversation between the deceased and Mary Dunn. She there was accosted by Carr, who had a brick bat in each hand, and enquired where Dwyer was. She asked, " What do you want him for ?" to which he replied, " He has opened the forehead of one of my lodgers, and have revenge before I sleep !" On hearing this remark deceased came for ward and said " whose forehead have I opened ?" desiring Carr to bring the person forward that he might be seen. The woman Donally urged him to go home that he might be up early in the morning to go to his work; he replied, " Never mind, my wench, I shall bring you home seventeen shillings on Saturday night.' Deceased then proceeded to his lodgings, 32, London Pren tice -street, and caught hold of the latch to open the door, but found. it locked, Donally having the key. While she was getting it, Thomas Murray came be hind him with la mason's shovel, and struck him a• violent blow on tha head, which krougbt him to the ground. Michael Burn struck him with another shovel on the back, on which Carr struck him with the brickbats, exclaiming, " Lay on the -." The woman Donally called out " Murder !" and the deceased said, " Oh, dear Betty, my back is broke, lam a dead man." John Shellman, a friend of the deceased, alarmed at the A nise and cries ? pante up, and when he saw Dwyers situation, offered la for the man that struck him. Thomas Murray, on this, came out, and said, " I struck him, and would serve any one the same way who'd take his part." Mur ray and his companions then returned to the public house. Mary Dunn endeavoured to lift deceased, but when she had raised him on his feet, found he was unable to stand, and he fell from her fin the ground. He was then removed to his lodgings, placed on the floor, and surgical aid sent for, as was also a Roman Catholic clergyman. When they an. rived life was nearly extinct, and all efforts made to awake him to a consciousness of his situation were in vain. He died about half-past one o'clock ? a. m., on Monday. After a laborious examination of the witnesses, which occupied nine hours, a verdict was returned of " Wilful murder against Thomas Murray, Mi. ehael Burn, and Thomas Carr (otherwise Curran). The Coroner immediately committed them to take their trials at the next Assizes. SUICIDE.—A man named WARRINGTON, a hatter, and who was in custody at Union-hall, for stealing a shawl, strangled himself yesterday in the lock-up room at that office. , LAW INTELLIGENCE. - COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 27. Mg KING V. YOUNG. Mr. BROUGHAM showed cause against a rule?nb' tained by the Solicitor-General, calling upon the - de' fendant to show cause why a criminal infornitian:" should not be filed against him f or a lib e l upon:t.o rd Strangford, upon whose application 14 rule 1 0 obtained. The libel, as set forth in Lard Strang''''., ford's affidavit, appeared in The Sun evening Ti newspaper of the 7th of August last (the chire'', was material), and was in these words—" direct the admirers of Lord Strangford to an article from the Times of this morning, which ‘ 4 , 4/ ,,.1 be found under the Spirit of the Public Journals , (that is, that it would be. found in another Pag e ', in another part of that paper). Referring to tit. article, the libel went on, " For such a charge:.'" (that is su ch a c h arac t er as t h at d escr ib e d in t t. be ; , ' , article from the Ti mes ), we wou ld not acce pt ( . 11e embassy to the Brazils. To the friends of libertl' and liberal principles, it must be very consolatoril that the revil er o f t h e memory o f M r. Canning w0111`"::= hardly be believed upon his oath—certainly not le his honour, at the Old Bailey !" It then contained oth rt ,; matters relating to Lord St rang f or d, an d conc ludeu..,l ll thus, " It was this hint which enabled his LordSlo,. to write that very characteristic piece, at the El t g:; lish Opera, entitled, He Lies like Truth." Tio s , was no doubt an impeachment of his Lordship's r e ; racity. Lord Strangford, i n hi s affidavit, stat e " ;' that he firmly believed it was intended to impu te falsehood to hilly; and so it was. That could !It he, and was not, disputed. Lord Strangford say that " it was unfounded and untrue, to imput e s to him the having reviled the memory of 0 % ; Canning, for in no speech nor publication, 06 ' i ' made by him, bad he ever been such a r e. .OP viler." The charge was, that he had done 9 °1(1 and he (Mr. Brougham) had in his hand the mestl'; . .) of substantiating that charge. His Lordship's afP,J davit concluded with a general denial of the itnPot tig, ': l tions made in the libel. Now, the Court would 01 r:,. serve, that these charges had reference to a state . ment of facts contained in another part of the sa ° 4 %,l , paper, a particular statement of facts, and given 7, 7 1 1 great detail; and that the libel was, in fact, but d_ i ri?; ductions drawn f rom th e f acts or a ll egat i ons so swi", out, whether true or f a l se . A c h arge o f f a l se h°'/ , :ei was upon that stat emen t, co pi e d f rom t h e Tinte d made by The Sun. This Lord Strangford did o t A deny ; not a single fact of the statement from th e e' Times, containing as it did so many special and tailed allegations against him, and an reference V V . which alone this general charge of falsehood W sg -: made against him, and of w hi c h genera l c h ar ge si ta. inference he complained. He did not deny any o e of these facts, but only the deduction drawn frog-" them; he gav e th e go -b y to t h e f acts, b ut traversed the inference. What was his answer to the obW'' vation in the paragraph, that " he was not to 1 ;4 believed upon hi s oa th or his honour?" He repli e d by saying that he " verily believed that allegation t ° . be unfounded,—(what man would say less of big': self ?)—for he was not aware that either in po blle i'l or private life he had said or done anv act or vre rw e 4 whereby the veracity of this deponent could justly (justly; would any man say ?) questione.t4„: nor why full credit may not—(may not, that t s ',. ought not')—be given to his assertion." Here ttir, denial ended, but he (Mr. B.) submitted that it no denial at all of the facts. The affidavit only sta te r generally that the deponent had done nothing 71; public or private life to make him unworthy : credit ; but was this an answer to the substantie, ,chhaircghesaloofnefatlbseehsenogdenemraaidechaagargeinss were e h r i e m m, ade and ?

Mr. BROUGHAM replied in the affirmative, it Iv° copied verbatim from the Times into The Sant ' The libel invites the attention of its readers to it P lc ; ticular statement in another part of the paper, 61 ; 4 then goes on to say--" For such a character as t b ;', we would not take the embassy to the &c. It then makes charges of falsehood foun d upon that statement, and reasons upon the y' ' . whether true or false. That statement was in the n " terms— " We had thought that his Lordship was too well kn° c,. to his late and present patrons to be again trusted With' • in, any negociation of importance. The extent to WI, he misled his own Government, and through his ugl,"bie vernment that of Russia, with respect to the success P.

The more than diplame 44 ° fi io dom which his Lordship takes with matters of fact, to 0 him the jest of all diplomatists; while otherwise his magl e o and conduct beget towards him in Courts a distaste e greater than the disrespect of statesmen. These (1 0 ° Iit 0( ought to save the Emperor of Brazil from the inflictie°4 his Lordship's mission, even though he had done nothing late to excite public attention to his character." 10 " Of his late oration against Mr. Canning, to whol n x, owed his undeserved advancement, we shall say o otlat4 It has already been done justice to by the taste and g;, feeling of every man whose hatred of the deceased st s l , e • man his Lordship's gratitude was not intended to set but on the occasion of hie second mission to Brazil, we ta g not altogether omit a notice of his late pamphlet resP ee ' the Brazilian emigration." t hin He (Mr. B.) bad an affidavit to show dist e' pamphlet was published in Lord Strangford'sle and by Mr. Murray, his publisher. In this pal f , let would be found a contradiction of certain s i f; gr i rnpnt.7, mate by this same riobie Lotd some be ago. These contradictions possibly he mig ht et able to explain, and the inconsistencies, 110` . 00 , gross, might be such as he might be able to re c . cile. And possibly Lord Strangford had bee n 0 • belled in this publication, but he (Mr. B.) suhlridtrivi 'that it must bp by sow otlipr ;pulp of prtic ee :o ol than this, by action or indictment, in the ordl ot way, that his Lordship should seek redress. . 0 % complaint was, that Lord Strangford, withou t brl fer ing himself within the largest rule of the Cou rt granting criminal informations, namely, that the should at least deny the truth of thp irnpfltf9 had sought the prdection of the Court. "It will be remembered, that towards the end of 18 0 " late King of Portugal (then Prince Regent), ell thew, trance of the French into his dominions, and the pilj tion of a notice in the Moniteur that the of Braganza had ceased to reign,' had been hl l ' embark suddenly in a moment of alarm tp4 0 41 W Rio de Janeiro,;,-1 measure which the "British G° nsent had been urging upon him in vain for some I :° ° '' before." f t bia Lord Strangford claimed the whole merit dee proceeding to himself, as would be seen; by a J o patch, sworn to have been published ip the 1i99 Gazette, for December 180 Y, that fact bein g ver by an affidavit, which he, Mr. Broug ham, he l d his band. ti e " Lord Strangford, who was then our Envoy et A t Court of Lisbon, and who bad o.!en employed to r ~ti the l t , svin I.isbo, loft 0 IL7*nii, St . „ ;pret E Pass a Zkati ini !W s ge Jest 6. 4 . 418 4 p a oil L m roer, ‘en I -40 al 14 thai Oh I e j p f k it age kid ther ii rd, of tl ti * 1' 41 1 / a Ithiu NI 11 L Nit t o ig s °eh '~ ata~ by ''ice *ot Ac 4l e li „ ill!
