FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, Dec. ) PARIS, DEC. 13.—Some journals pretend that Mr. Stratford Canning and Count Guilleminot have left Poros to proceed to Constantinople, and that they arrived at Scio on the 3d of November. Now it is certain that those Ambassadors were at Poros on the lith of November, and that there was at that lime no appearance indicating that they were going to Constantinople. •, • A letter from Frankfort says that his Highness the reigning Duke of Nassau was betrothed, on the Gth of this month, at Stutgard, to her Royal Highness Princess Pauline of Wurtemberg, sister to the Grand Duchess Helen, of Russia."

Their health continues to improve, but not so rapidly as was hoped. Part of the convalescent take a long time before they are completely recovered. The artillery and engineers are very actively en -gaged in putting the fortresses of the i\lorea in a good state of defence. Coron has been given up to the Greek troops sent by Count Capo d'lstria.

DUTCH PAPERS. ODEssA, Nov. 21.—Four ships have unexpectedly arrived here from Constantinople, three of them Austrian, with fruit and wine, and one Sardinian, with wine and oil. Several others are expected. Those ships obtained their firmans by paving 25 per cent. on the value of their cargoes, and giving se • • purity to the amount of 10,000 piastres that they should not be freighted for the Russian Government. tt e Know nothing here from the theatre of war, ,•xcept the Rus! , iatt ttoup,, on account of the wet and rough weather, have left their positions before Salim-la and ktialschtiek, and retired across the Danube.

SMYRNA, Nov. 2.—The courier de Smyrne, in a letter from Con.tantinople of the .22d of October , giving an account of the taking of Verna, says that the- Russian army at length amounted to 4000 men, so that no troops could be thrown into the place; that on the morning of the 15th (it was the 7th) the Russians undertook to storm the fortress, when the TUrkt, 'after . -performing prodigies of slams'. could not hinder the enemy from penetrating into le town. The Cspitan Pacha retreated, fighting, into the citadel, and ending it impossible ttt hold out any longer, accepted , tk.e capitulation that was offered him, The Emperor expressed him self in terms of the highest admiration of the brave defence that he had made. It was reported here (at Constantinople), that Jussuf Pacha, bribed by the Russiatis, had turned traitor, and deserted, with .5,000 men, to the enemy's camp. This is false : he did his duty, and only gaVe w4y to superior force. On the other hand, it is certain, hat but for the in judicious measures of the Grand Vizier, Varna might still have 'held out, it seems certain that negotiations for peace will soon hein. The place fur the conference is not yet fixed, bmt it will be soon "agreed upon, and the Pacha will be :my ready to send deputies to it. VIENNA, Nov. 30.—A traveller just arrived front M o scow affirms, that the traffic on the roads leading to t h e southern provinces is contintuilly active, and in particula. , the quantity of heavy artillery is very remarkable ; and it is generally believed in Russia, that as soon as e,he favourable season returns, thel operations will be renewed with increased. energy,' and on a more extensive scale:.

(From the New York Daily Advertiser, Nov. 24.) COLOIIIIIA.--A friend has politely furnished us with the Bogota Gaceta of the 2d and sth of Oct. The enemies of Santander continue to speak of him as a prime mover of the plot against the Libera tor, although, so far as we have seen, not a fact has been published, as ascertained from the evidence, which is calculated to implicate him in any degree. Bolivar has .appointed General Urdineta Com mandant-General of the Department of Cundina• imam; and General Cordova Minister of War. The obligations to be etnitted by the Commission of national credit are, as hereafter, to receive the signature of Jeronimo Torres.

CHILL—Our Bogota Papers contain the 41i:ow ing information concerning Chili, under dates -from, their papers to the sth of September, The new Constitution is to contain the principle of jimi!ed legislative powers. The Roman Catholic relig;pn is to be supported, but a furious intolerance, !gig that under which the country has heretofore suffered, is not to be introduced.

BOGOTA, SEPT. 25.—The till& of suspected per lons continue, and mcvre fugitives ban been cap tured. The Government, with a desire to show their clemency, has released a few individuals who were proved to have fallen accidentally under suspi cion; others have been sent to distant departments ; and some suffered to continue in public employ ments. C. \Vilthen, a foreigner, has been banished ; and J. Nepomneetto Aaatero sent back to Cartha gena, with Patricio Parad. Jos. Vallarino has been confined at Mariquita, F. Carrasuillo at Antiorptis, Alex. Gaitan at Papayan, J. F. Merizalde at Tunja, Rornauldo Lievano at Merida, and R. Marques at Barquisimeto.'-` 'The licentiate L.—Aldatia has been sent to Baritias ; Gen. A. Obando is destined for Guayana, with Dr. J. G. Plata ; and D. Guz man for Cuniatia.. The particular charges against these individuals are not published, to avoid wound ing private families, and to keep from public view crimes which were before supposed impossible in Colombia. The Bogota Gacela of Oct. 5, informs us of the execution of Ramon Guerra and General Padilla on the 2d October. On the 20th of September 1-10r ment was shot, as well as W. Zula y bar, Colonel Lieuts.Silva, C. Galindo, and F. .1. Lopez. The trials of the others were going on, and their execu tion was expected. Cat ujo, V. Tajada, Mendoza, F. Gonzales, and E. Brizeno, had not been taken. The editor says it is believed that Santander is the focus of the conspiracy. Private letters say it is probable that Santander Will be banished. The frigate Colombia (built in this city) was fitting out at Carthageua to proceed for the Pacific, under the command of Com. Chitty. An official letter from the Commandant of Guaya quil informs the Secretary of War of the arrival of Colonel Aceron, in the schooner Ayacucho, from Arica, on the 26th August, with the mounted Junin Grenadier squadron of Colombian Auxiliaries from Bolivia. The squadron of Ayacucho Hussars, the remains of the Pichincha Battalion, and the Colom bian chiefs and officers lately in the service of Bo livia, were shortly expected from Potosi by land; and General Sucre was at Oruro, and would em bark at Cobijas. General Brown and the rest of the troops were in the department of Arequipa, w‘aiting only for vessels. All this was in conformity with capitulations made at Piquisa. The liztisenor of Guayaquil says that Col. ACeron will return to , Peru, with his cavalry (in good discipline), to teach the Peruvians respect for Colombia. The Gaceta de Colombia, of the 12th October, wears the dress of mourning for the death of the serjeant of the grenadiers who stood guard in the palace of Bolivar on the night of the conspiracy, and who died from wounds received at his post. A subscription was on foot to reward the fidelity of the soldiers who distinguished themselves on that occasion. - (From the Columbian Centinel.) 130sToN, Nov. 22.—His Excellency Sir Pere grine.

Frankfort Papers of the 9th inst. contain most dismal details of the Russian army, founded upon the authority of a letter from Bucharest of November 17. It is rather singular, however, that a week ago we had accounts from Bucharest of the 19th November, which do not give such a gloomy picture of affairs. According to the present accounts there was a severe action of 18 hours' duration before Shumla, on the 15th of October, but • the result is not given. Count WITTGENSTEIN, before commencing his re treat, destroyed every thing which could be of service to the Turks. The retreat was expected to be very slow, on account of the number of sick amounting, at an exaggerated rate, to 32,000. The roads were covered with the carcasses of many thousand horses, while the soldiers, in want and tatters, sunk beneath the accumulation of their miseries. Varna was invested by 30,000 Turks, and 20,000 fresh troops had been thrown into Silis tria. But the following account is altogether so gloomy for the Russians, as to warrant a belief that it is of Turkish or German manufacture : NUREMBURGII, DEC. 6. The Journal published by the name of the Friedens and Kriegs Koiirier (Courier of War and Peace), contains a letter from Bucharest of the 17th November, which gives the following particulars (some of them, indeed, already known) from the theatre of war : We expect here a new Metropolitan from Russia to regulate the ecclesiastical sffairs of the principalities. A President, who hits arrived here, is commissioned to form a Senate on the model of that of the year 1810. The same scarcity of bread is daily felt more sensibly; it is affirmed also that cases of plague sometimes occur, and several waggons with dead bodies are sent every night from the hospital at Sweti Sava. A few days ago 150 bricklayers and carpenters were sent from this city under a military escort to Ibrailow, in order to convert the Palace of the Paella in that town. into a military hospital for 700 patients. It is stated by a well informed Boyard that Varna has a garrison of 12,000 men, and that on the whole .55,000 have re mained between Varna and Bazardjik. Count Pahlon, before he left the city, required of the Divan the settling of all the accounts of the Treasury, and every Boyard was obliged to declare what his income was. The loss which the Russian army has suffered, especially in horses, exceeds all expectation. Six regiments of cavalry, which passed a few days ago through Tokschani, are said to have had only 200 horses in all. The hospitals, too, are crowded with sick, and the patients only half convalescent are often obliged to giye way to new corners. 4 few 44ys ago the corn market was to be held here as usual, but as the Government wanted to fix a m3xiinum price, which the sellers found too low, they all went home without selling any thing. Count Pahlen has returned, and immediately af terwards a great Divan was assembled; it is supposed to have deliberated either on a a new loan from the h:fyards, pit• on the deposition of the present Metropo litan. Within this lust fortnight a Rtissian laboratory has been established here, which has tp supply ten or twelve hospitals with medicines. Count Diehitsch is gpii4 to St. Petersburgh. He demanded here provi- sions for the army; and when theßoyards endeavoured to excuse themseoes, alleging the poverty of their vassals, he sent military commissioners about the onntry, who took all they could fmd. Yesterday 100 patienta (4174 , 0 here from the camp before Si. listria, most of them with their feet frozen, - The Greeks here affirm that the Turks have succeeded in throwing a reinforcement of 20,000 fresh troops into 4 - 44 t fortress. It is also reported that on the 3d (15th) Octoi►e; *,2,re was a severe action of 18 hours' duration, near Siiinnfr,. Count Wittgenstein, before he left the head-quarters, caused all the 41n. munitien and baggage-waggons, and, in short, every thing that could nit be carried away, to be collect- ed together and burnt; afuir which the Rusiuri main army before Shinnla commenced itis re te;ar, which, however, will be very slow, as the numbey of the sick in Bulgaria is stated (but this is RN1414 exaggerated) at 32,000 ep . An eye-witness describes the retreat in the most gloomy golaars; the roads s i re poyerpd with the carcasses of many thousand horsps, and airnpst irp: passable, while the soldiers famished and in tatters, pipered with filth and vermin, can with difficulty puraug A* march, and frequently sink under their manifold fatigue, ;'ari a is closely invested by 30,000 On the 4th of Now., ;.hp fold was so severe men. about Silistria that the Danube began to freeze i at the 'tattgr end of October the roads were impassable, so that in an attack made by the Turks, the Russia► Light Horse are said to rave been driven into a morass, frAtn which very fe,ty were ably to extricate themselves, His MAJESTY held a Council yestordv Windsor, at which it was decided that Parlia meiii`' 4- I )Ppld meet on Thursday the sth of February for the e,-,spatell of business.' The first February is the 4 clay fo, theassembling •••/ - Parliam e nt, but the Frencfi Tuesday i n or Charnbero. ,7 re to meet on Tuesday the 27th of, January, and it is surm:exl that our Government are disposed to wait not only to see the French King's speech, but to learn what effect it may have in political circles, as well as to afford time for having some communications, if necessary, with the French Government. A proper un derstanding between England and France must give the tone to the political campaign of Europe. The French Papers contain little news. The Gazette de France contradicts the report th h Mr. STRATFORD' CAWING and General GUILLEMINOT had leli Puros for Cowtanti nople. We suspected at the time that the re port was some stock-jobbing inanceuvre, and therefore paid it no attention. It will be of little use for any Ambassadors to visit Constantinople in the present temp er-of the SuLTAN,.vatinting in the glory of the past ankboasting in the an ticipated achievements of the future. The Turks have yet to learn much of what adversity has already taught the insolence of the Russians, According to the Messager des Chanibres.; the French army, instead of quitting the Morea, are only preparing to make their stay there more comfortable than before. We shall be much surprised indeed if they leave it for six months to come. Extracts from Dutch and Hamburgh Papers will be found in another column. Accounts from Odessa, of November 21, say, that nothing was known there from the Theatre of War, ex cept that the Russian troops, in consequence of the wet and rough weather, had left their positions i before Rudschuk and Silistria, and re-crossed the Danube. Other accounts say that many Russian General and other Officers, to the number of sixty, have left the army in Bulgaria, and taken up their quarters in Jassy ; while some accounts state that HUSSEIN PACIrIA has already crossed over to the left bank of the Danube, for the purpose of invading Moldavia. His army was to debouch through Silistria, and form a junction with the army of the Pacha of Widdin at Bucharest, and march from thence on JaSsy. This may be true, but we have great doubts on the subject. The Turks have not yet met the Russians in open battle, and we think they will be very chary in risking their present good fortune by a general battle with their more disciplined_ foes. It is one thing to defend a strong fortification, and another to manoeuvre in the battle field. We suspect, much as the Russian soldiers have been dispirited by the want of provisions and the inclemency of the weather, that they are yet more than a match for the Turks, if they can but meet on any thing like equal terms. If the Turks, in the exube rance of their unlooked for success, attempt to drive the Russians beyond the Pruth, they may, in the event of discomfiture, find it rather diffi cult themselves to re-cross the Danube. But time will soon confirm or disprove the correct. ness of the numerous, and even contradictory, reports which at present distract public attention. It is said that the Emperor of AUSTRIA has refused his sanctiun to the project of a steam navigation on the Elbe. The Duke de MONTEBELLO and Count de BEtYsoN had arrived at Norfolk, North America, in 28 days, from Brest, on their way to South A rnerica. By an American vessel from St. Domingo, we learn that the markets in that place were over stocked with American produce towards the latter end of Oct. Every thing was in great confusion. The merchants were removing their property out of the country. The troops had not been paid for six months, and were consequently greatly siatisfied. Quebec Papers of the 16th, and Montreal of the 18th November, have been received. They contain no particular news of interest ; but the people were looking forward with some anxiety to the meeting of the provincial Parliament, which was to take place on the 21st. Sir JOHN CoLt3onNT•:, K.C.B. had arrived at York on the 4th, and entered on his duties as Liente nant.Governor of Upper Canada. Sir P. MAITLA ND was to leave, on his way to Halifax. A Kingston, Upper Canada Paper, mentions that Sir PEREGRINE MAITLAND, Lieut-Go vernor of Nova Scotia, has had a narrow escape of being drowned, 4 few yards above Kingston Mills. It appears that his bark canoe ran foul of a log of wood, and immediately filled with water. Fortunately another canoe way at .hand, the crew of which rescued his Excellency and his companion from Their perilous situation.

COURT OF CHANCERY. CHAMBERS v. CHAMBERS. The LORD CHAscELLoa gave judgment in this ease, the goestion in which arose out of the bank ruptcy of Mr. Chambers. The case was argued at some length before his Honour the Vice-Chancellor, as also in this Court, upon appeal, and it now stood for its judgment. Mr. Win. Chambers proved tin der the commission a debt amounting to 3,7941.; he proposed to prove another debt of 628/., whit h the Commissioners ref fed to allow hint to do, in con sequence of his holding seemities for, Ow sum, which he declined giving up. After he had proved for the first debt, he - brought an action against his brother, the bankrupt, for the sum he had proved, for the sum he had offered to prove, but which he was not allowed to do; and also for other debts, one a promissory note for 100/.,another for 250/.,and other sums which he alleged had been advanced to the bankrupt after tie bankruptcy. The actiop Ivas jp the Court of Exphequer i jlo 4e fence being gone into, judgment went by default. Upon that judg ment a writ of execution was afterwards sued out, which was answered to levy a sum of money amount ing to more than 6,000/., including the sums which has been proved under the commission, the rims offered to be proved and those alleged to have been advanced. lUpon this execution the heii took the property of the bankrupt; which was in the hands of the assignees. An application was made to the Vice-Chancellor, for the purpose of having the execution withdrawn, which his Ho nour ordered. From that order the party now appcalFd r .Accordin g to the opinion expressed thi Corp )104 fcripei. 54c4iops, hum Chambers, had brought his action solely for that part of the debt riot proved under the com mission, that being a distinct debt upon a distinct account, this Court would not have felt itQelf called upon to have acted, as far as Mr. Chambers's per sonal liability was concerned. That was in accord ance with the judgment of the Court, pronounced a days ago, iViff)otiier cast Chu the if the action had been confined to that part of the I debt that was proved under the commission, which it is mentioned, adds that " one of his wives, by name RANA NALONE, has assumed the Go vernment. She promises to follow up RADA MA's plans, but, admitting that she has the inclination, it is to be .doubted whether she possesses the power of enforcing a system, the maintenanGe of which required all the vigour and the uncompro mising severity of R ADAMA himself. Mr, Chambers had elected to proi , e under it, ^, he had take n out execut i on upon a judgment cc'i, filled to that part, against the property of the bsn i tutu in the h an d s o f t h e ass i gnees, under circumstances this Court ought to have i n terfer e! but with respect to the advance, Mr. Chambers havil made his election, h e h a d no r i g h t i n that respect 103,1 that particular d e bt to ta k e out execution upon l'. goods in the h an d s o f t h e ass i gnees. But in Pt particular case both causes of action had been r e ' sisted. Now, assuming that if he confined his 1 14 *, tion to that part of the debt proved under the t mission, and had sued our his execution up t aritw" assuming that the Coutt would, under such circus' : stances, have interfered, upon which his Lordsbl? desired at present not t o b e cons id ere d as givitig opinion, it was to be considered what wits the of i duct of the d e fend ant at t h e moment. He h,„ thought proper t o un i te both pr oceedings. W Court ", course, or what ord er cou ld the make uuu" such circumstances, except the order pronounced b e ; low. It was stated that the Court might make 4 qualified - order, that it might operate ur m the execution, as f ar as re l ate d to the de r " proved under the Commission, an d 10 0 ail the rest of the execution in force; but no suge, tions were mad e at t h e b ar as to the di ffi culties" the shape of su c h an or d er. S upposing the bankru pt himself had applied to the Court of Exchequer stay the proceeding as far as related to that part • the action, the Court could have done nothing stay the proceeding entirely. The Court of ExeV quer, it was true, might have directed a writ p. issue as to part of the demand, but it would not had been a stay of th e p rocee di ngs. Th e Court thoug ht the only cause that could have been taken by the Court of Exch e q uer wou ld h ave b een to have staye d the proceedings altogether, and have left it to t d: , 0 plaintiff to h ave go t r id of the . di ffi culty. Th e dir„ culties were cr ea t e d b y Willi am Chambers himso " he could not, t h ere f ore, complain " if the Co," would not tak e np on i tse lf to unravel them. It w ° ° not for the Court to state the mode of doing the but his Lordship apprehended it would be easy t i him, in the Court, of Exchequer, to remove When the case c ame properly before the Court,' would- be forit to decide where a party had atoll ° to prove for one debt, and•made lug election to t!!!:- - elect, not wh e the r that " would op era t e to - prey!, himlitinging ac ti ons for distinct debt, b ut w heth! it %vapid prevent hint. from taking our execution!: goods' ht. the _hands of assignees. Th e Co' was anxious tor to.give any opinion about this, an to be understood, as not calling. into question t he decision belovi,- Under all th e circumstances of-t he case, the Court thought the execution should b e withdrawn altogether, leaving this gentleman (g r i Wm. chambers) to pursue such co urse i n a Quirt 'CommmiLaw,as he might he advised. If the diffieqf was got rid of, another writ of execution, might tit sued out, and the parti4.might bring the questil again bef o r e t h e Court: .It, was upon thi s gro um" and this only, the Court affirmed the decision heloo Upon the application of M 1- SUGDES, his Loft ship ordered the costs which 141 been impounde' to be paid to his client. 21 10REIS V.

This was an action brought by the plaintiffs ° I recover the sum of 6,2241. 16s. 6d., the- amount nine bills of exchange, which had come into the* possession in the following manner:—ht the yo r 1825, a gentleman n a m e d C ra b tree , was engage d tf: Messrs. Herring, Graham, and Powles, the defen , ants, to go.out to So u th Am er i ca, f or t h e purpose ° entering into negotiations with the . Peruvian 017 ; vernment, respecting cer t a i n go ld .an d mines. To enable him so to do, he was A', niched with a letter of credit and a pos%: of attorney, to ratify any contract he utt i , enter into. Shortly after his arrival he proceC .„ to act upon his inst ruct i ons , an d selected eertai" mines; he also entered into a contract for t he Government Mint, and paid deposits by bit,'; drawn upon the defendants, part of whi c h formed the subject of the present action. The de' fence was, that M r . C ra b tree was not authorised t o draw for a larger sum than 10,0001.; his bills to th' amount had been honoured, and the defendants coo' tended that they were not bound beyond the Sad, specified in the lett* of credit. Mr. Sergeant TADDY, with whom was Mr. geant RUSSELL, examined Mr. Crabtree at ve r r( . great length. He specified the various contract s ; that he had entered into for certain mines, -andlilie' wise to having paid a deposit of 80,000 dollars as ' I deposit to the Government for farming the mint , which had been approved of by the defendants in s letter that he received from them, and in which ther , expressed their conviction it would turn out a r ric't advantageous speculation. The witness said 14 ' would swear that all the money he received for th e bills had been applied to the use of th e defendants, in the purpose for which he 0r 4 , 1 2, sent out. Il e was put to some expel'''. in being obli ge d, b y t h e l aws of the country, to to ol mence working the mines within a short titne aft o they were taken.
