FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated August 10.) CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 11.—It is affirmed that Ibrahim has written to the Porte that the want of provisions and the prevalence of all kinds of diseases had increased so much, that the Albanians left him in whole troops to return to their own country; that he had, in consequence, communicated to the Admi rals of the Allied Powers proposals for the evacua tion of the Morea; declaring, at the same time, that he would not make himself responsible for the exces- Fes which the Albanians, on their return, might com mit in the interior of the Morea. It should seem that the Commanders of the Allied Squadrons had, in consequence, immediately dis patched an Aviso.to Alexandria, to ask for transports; and that Count Capo d'lstria was expected in the Roads of Navarin, to take part in the negociations • for the evacuation of the Morea. It is supposed that Ibrahim would not have taken this step without instructions sent him by the Porte, at the time that it addressed, through the Reis Effendi, invitations to the Ambassadors of France and England, at Corfu, to return to Constantinople. Accordingly, it was lately reported very generally, th it the Porte had resolved to accept the Treaty of London ; but the Minister of the Netherlands has since delivered to the Reis Effendi the answer of Count Guilleminot ; and some expressions in it—for instance this—" That the Sultan carried on, con trary to the instructions of his people, a war which cause his ruirr," have so displeased the Porte, that even the Reis Effendi has expressed himself with some bitterness on the subject ; the Porte has in consequence, endeavoured to make it be believed that Ibrahim had entered into negociations with the A.Aimirals, not in consequence of previous instruc tion., but spontaneously, and from real necessity.— Augsburg/2 Gcnette. VIENNA, JULY 31.—The news that Don Miguel hag taken the title of King, and that the Junta of Oporto haft been dissolved by the Captain of that city, has caused a great sensation here, and the Mi. ;sister of Portugal at our Court has suspended his functions. The Minister of Brazil, on his part, has addressed to all the Legations a circular, like that of ;he Minister at London. The news from Constantinople is not very inte rect:ng. It seems that the Porte will await the issue of the contest under the walls of Constan tinople. The accounts from the Principalities respecting the plague, Are so alarming, that our Government finds itself obliged to station along the frontiers a sanitary cordon.—The same. PARIi, AUG. 9,—The .Journal du Commerce pub bsbed yesterday the following news, as the conjec ture,: of well-informed persons in the capital:— " The Porte is resolved to recognise, as far as it is wncerned, the Treaty of Eth July. " The Russians, alarmed by the ravages of the plague in the provinces in their rear, are disposed to finish this campaign gloriously by the deliverance of Greece, and the occupation of some fortresses on the Danube and the Black Sea. " The evacuation of the Morea by Ibrahim seems to i'.‘e a.ready agreed upon. Admiral de Rigny will not wait t.;II a General comes to share the glory of it with him, And we shall have certain information before the emiNrkation of the expedition. " In this cm.' the expedition would not take pl a ce, and part of ►he troops assembled at Toulon would be only employed in obtaining from the Re gency of Algiers the satis!action which it still per sists in refusing it. (From the Constitn.'ionnil.) PARIS, AUG. 9.—The friends of hutnarney—the men of the 19th century—have heard with joy that at length the French Government has detefinineil to follow the example given by the most honours:tile :lasses of society, by sending to the Greek Goverri'-- ;nent the sum, of 500,000 francs. The people of F r ance, and the Greeks themselves acknowledge it, have seconded, by all the means in their power, the noble e.ause of Greece. This measure of the Go vernment indicates that it has taken a side, that it is Teeolved to set on a system, and there can no longer be any doubt as to the fulfilment of the expedition about to leave our ports for the Mediterranean. Some contradictOry reports have been spread on this subject; but we hope that our Government will i.ersist, and not be tinned from its course either by the negociations or the threats of England, if she proceed to use threes. She is redoubling her efforts to prevent our ships and our army iron; going to the Morea, and presses on our attention the probability of Ibrahim evacuating the Peninsula, who w,ll un- Aoubtedly not wait for the landing of the French troops to return to Egypt. The question, however, is the deliverance of Greece; and this cannot be ac complished except by force. The refusal of General fluillerninot to return to Constantinople, notwith standing the repeated requests of the Porte, shews that our Cabinet has taken a resolution from which nothing will henceforth divert it, and we hope that the opposition of England will be an additional mo tive to make it persevere, The following preparations are making at Mar seilles and at Toulon for the expedition to the Morea, according to the Precur.seur de Lyon. At Marseilles, transports are collecting to the amount of 18,000 tons, and M. Berangee, Capitaine de Fregate, is appointed to examine them. The thirty-two transports at Toulon measure 6000 tons; end these, added to the transports at Marseilles, may enable us to estimate the force to be sent to the Nlorea. It is conjectured, as 1 is aeressary for one man, and eight torts for a horee, and as about 1,200 horse will be sent, that the force, including some troops carried is the men of war, will be about 11,0011 me n. All the vessels token up are to he at Toulon by August 10. Provisions sire collecting, and there seems nothing but a deficiency of seamen, l svhich will be an impediment ; but it is supposed /tat permission will be given by the Office of Eaip ree ve to employ more foreign seamen than the regu latim'S specify. (From the Courier Francais.) PARIS, Aua, 9.—We can announce to the public that the Superioi' Council of War, under the au spices of the Daupkine, and in concert with the War Minister, is occupi,ed with - the re-organizatioe of ou r military system. Our military power will hereafter consist of an army activity and an army of reserve ; but it is supposed thers will be aneeegsity so reduce the time of actual service , We read what follows i n the Jourisal du Ch er: ---4" It seems decided that the Ordinance regu lating the Petits Seminaries are to be consie!ered by a certain party, as attacks on the Churck The Archbishop of Bourges has already corn- Plained of the persecutions which threaten the "aural- The Cure de Viergon said in his pul pit, that a terrible revolution had devastated irance, but that a more terrible revolution Was preparing, and that perverse principles were ape gearing in all Places. He exhorted pious souls to be on their guard against their pernicious influence, rand to subscribe for a religious work that he meant to publish, We are afraid the Cure was in error, and meant to call on his hearers to subscribe ten francs for th e Society for the Defence of the Chris tian Religion. The Clergy, who now only speak 'in protestations, seem to have f orgotten t h e great 16th p r otestation of t he century, Which was pro voked by the excesses of the Court of Rome, and against which the power of that Court afterwards failed. STRANGE CONDUCT OF A CURE.—Th e F rench Clergy cry out against persecution ; but it w ill be curious to compare their acts with their words. The greater part of the Bishops protest against the Ordi nances of the King ; and a number of Cures do all in their power to obtain the direction of loan ocal ma tters. We are informed that a young Clergy at a parish near Caen, being offended at seeing nobody at church in the evening, except a few aged women, all the youth of the village being collected at a danc ing party, left his church in his robes, preceded by the beadle; and followed by the few p ers ons who were at church, he proceeded to the place where the violins were at work, which lie forcibly entered. " You do not come to me," he said to them, " and therefore I come to you." The spectators dispersed, the dancers ceased, and the Clergyman remaining master of the place caused it to resound with those holy songs which are seldom heard but in the sanc tuary.

BRAGA,JULY 17.—Yesterday 300 horses arrived here, left by the rebels on the frontier of Gallicia, all in the most deplorable condition, without harness, accompanied by 17 soldiers. About 400 prisoners also arrived, who have already chosen to quit the Spanish territory, and twenty teams and an immense number of mules. D. Gaspar Joaquirn Telles, who was Juiz da Fora in Moncao, is gone to-day with despatches to D. Ignacio Pereira, the Spanish Mili tary Governor, to demand the money which the rebels have taken with them. OPoRTo, JULY 18.—His Excellency the Viscount de Pasqueira arrived in this city yesterday, and his division is marching to Beira, not being wanted in as the rebels are put down. We know that the Viscount de Pasqueira has claimed the arms, horses, and money which the rebel; took to Gallicia, and that Colonel Pereira answered on the 11th, that all that was found should he given up. The Colonel also read his Majesty's pardon to the officers, subalterns, and privates ; the latter accepted this offer of their Sovereign, but of the former only one, and they are expected on the frontier. OFFICIAL—DEPARTMENTofFOREIGNAFFAIRS. “ DECREE. " LBILION, JULY 29.—Brazil being erected into an Empire absolutely independent of Portugal, and con sequently to be considered as a foreign country, I think fit to determine, that instead of the postage fixed by the Alvara of the ".. I .oth January, 1798, for letters from Brazil, any letter from that Empire shall, from this day forward, pay the rate of postage fixed by the Portaria of the 12th January, 1815, for letters from all foreign countries brought by sea. " Palace of Ajuda, July 19, 1528." BOARD OF TRADE. The Board of Trade announces, that it has been officially informed by his Majesty's command, that he has given orders for the blockade of the port of nacho!, in the island of Madeira, according to the maritime law of nations, by the ships of war sent thither for that express purpose, and which, in fact, held that port in a state of strict blockade.—Palare of Ajuda, July 2G. LISBON, Aua. I.—The Gazette contains a list of the officers and persons employed in the civil depart ments of the army, who, having quitted the rebels to enjoy the benefit of the Decree of the 18th of June last, remain, for the present, only dismissed from their posts and employments, unless they are included in the exceptions of the same Decree. The divisions and brigades composing the Army of Operations being dissolved, because the reasons for their organization have ceased, the King, as Com mander-in-Chief of the army, orders that the officers on the staff of the said divisions and brigades shall return to the situations in which they were before they were appointed to the said staff. Arc. 2.—The King, as Commander-in-Chief of the army, orders that all the officers who have pre sented themselves, or shall surrender themselves, having abandoned the rebels since the 10th of this month, shall be considered as prisoners, and as such, he placed in security.

NAPOLEON' EMPEREUR.—The French child JOSEPHINE, aged three years, born with the words "NAPOLEON EXPEKEUE" distinctly visible in its eyes, is now exhibiting to the public at the Royal Bazaar, No. 78, Oxford-street; wherethe British Diorama, with Four Views painted by Messrs.

TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 12, 1818, " BULLETIN OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY. Another Bulletin of the Russian Army has been received through the Russian State Ga zette. It is dated the 14th July, from the Camp at Bazardjik, the headquarters of the Emperor. This official communication sets at rest the re ported defeat of the Russians, before Schoumla, for it now appears that the army had not ad vanced to that position. On the 12th, indeed, a detachment of Hussars having gone ferward to reconnoitre, was attacked by a body of the enemy's cavalry, and obliged to fall back from the Turks being very superior, but on the Russians being reinforced they repulsed the Turks, after a smart action, in which:the Russians lost seventy men. We have no doubt that it was this affair which was magnified into a complete defeat of the Russians, with a loss of 5,000 men. There can be no doubt that the Turks fight with great enthusiasm, but then their want of discipline must greatly incapacitate them from coping in an open battle with the veterans of the CZAR. But one great feature of the war is now corroborated by the Russians themselves— namely, that the Turkish population uniformly move before the invading army, leaving their towns and villages deserted. Now this may proceed from one of two causes, or indeed from both,—the inhabitants may not choose to await the rude visits of ZA conquering army borutally outrageous in the confidence of their strength, and again, they may be constrained by the Turkish army to evacuate the country, in order to impress the enemy with a due sense of the nationality of the war. In the meantime, the Russians lose no opportunity of strengthen ing their forces, in order to provide against all contingencies. Troops are ordered from all quarters to reinforce the invading army : WARSAW, JULY 80. By a courier despatched from the Imperial head-quar ters on the 7th (19th) of this month, who arrived here yesterday, we learn that the health of the troops is in all respects satisfactory, and that provisions are in abundance. The Turkish roads and villages are in good condition, but not a single inhabitant is to be found in them. The corps of General Ceerbatoff, belonging to the army of Field Marshal Sacken, has received orders to march and join the guards. Thus three corps of this army take part in the campaign. CAMP AT BAZARDJIK, JULY 1 4. Our offensive operations proceed, the blockade of Varna is nearly complete, and General Roth prosecutes without opposition his march along the right bank of the Danube to Silistria. In the direction of the columns of oar centre, General Rudiger has occupied Couzledjeh, Kos lodschi, or Koeludje, and cleared the roads to Pravadia and Jenibazar. The day before yesterday, between the latter place and Conzledjeh, a detachment of Hussars which had gone forward to reconnoitre was attacked by a body of the enemy's cavalry, and obliged to give way to the Turks, who were very superior in number, but after a smart action, in which we bad seventy men killed and wounded, the Turks were repulsed, with loss by the Achtyr Regiment of Hussars and two field-pieces of the horse artillery. Air advanced posts followed them, and are now before the gates of Jenibazar. Yesterday divine service was performed in front of the Emperor's tent, on account of the birth-day of her Ma jesty the reigning Empress, and the most fervent prayers invoked the blessings of Heaven on a Prior-€s3 so highly loved and honoured. To-morrow the Emperor leaves the vicinity of Bazardjik, and removes with the head-quarters to Conzledjeli. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 2d instant, says that the plague in the Morea had greatly subsided, in consequence of the energetic mea sures adopted for its removal. It appears that the President of Greece was present at the con ference with the Allied Admirals, touching the evacuation of the Morea by IllAlini PAOLA, who seems to have desired the opportunity. — Now we are much dieposed to think that this desire, on the part of Innmtim, arises solely from the secret wishes of the SULTAN, Who, being pressed by the Russians, sees no other means of engaging the sympathy of France and England in his favour, than by a complete evacuation of the 'l - orea—and perhaps of . Greece:— CORFU, JULY J• On Thursday afternoon Vice-Admiral Sir E. CoJring ton took leave of the Lord kligh Commissioner, and em barked on board the Asia, accompanied by Major- General . Woodford, and a guard of honour, with a band of music, and sailed directly for the Levant. Sir Pultney Malcolm, who is to succeed Sir Edward Cadrington, will arrive in the course of this month, on board the Wellesley. JULY 12• We are glad to learn by the Greek papere, that tl►e plague, which had appeared in some of the islands, has whelly csksed, A. IGT the disorder in the Island of Egimi, iti a stated to be a typhus generated among a numerous population, which suffers all kinds of privations. Both with respect to that disorder and to the plague itself iu some partsof the Motes, the most energetic measures have been adopted, which promises to be attended with tile most beneficial effects. We have learned that the 6,000 Albanians, who revolted against Ibrahim Paella, having seduced some hundreds of the regular Arabs, left Coron with them, to proceed to Epirus. Being pursued by a corps sent after then► by Ibrahim, an engagement ensued, in which the latter were defeated with great loss. It is said that the son of Colo cotroni, in concert with the Greek Government, will escort these troops in their march through the Mores. The Governor of Greece was lately on board his Ma jesty's ship Warspite, before the pert of Navarin, in con ference with the Admirals of the Allied Powers. It is said that this meeting was in consequence of the desire ma nifested by Ibrahim Paella to evacuate the Morea. The French Papers last received throw no additional light upon the posture of affairs in the East. The evacuation of the Morea seems to be now regarded as definitive. Extracts will be found in another column. Dutch Papers of the 9th inst. have haen re ceived, but they contain no news : HAGUX, AUG. 7. On the btli inst., in the morning, the Prince mad Prin cess of Orange, travelling under the name of Count and Countess of Flanders, paised through Utrecht on their way to Cleves. We learn they are going to Ems to meet the Grand Duchess of Saxe-Weimar. EXCHANGES ox Loxoox.—Auaitertiatn, Aug. 8.- 12 04 ; two months, 12 00.

ODESSA, JUNK go (JULY 12-) Our roads which were quite deserted after the departure of the ships hired to convey provisions for the army, begin to he filled again by the vessels which daily arrive from Kustendjo, after landing their cargoes. The rains which have fallen for several days have not cooled the air. The heat has been very great, by Reaumur's thermometer 2s" ; in the shade, (96 6 Fahrenheit.) Lisbon Papers and communications have been. received to the 3d instant, but their general character varies little from what has been pre viously received. Don MIGUEL pursued his usual course of rapine and brutality. The dun geons are filled with victims, and every thing betokened a continuance of the Usurper's sa vage reign. An expedition sailed for Madeira on the 24th of July, consisting of a frigate, cor vette, and two brigs, carrying from 1,500 to 2,000 men. We trust that they may never reach it, or if they do, that they may never re turn. The conduct of our Government respecting Portugal is the most incomprehensible imagin able. We make professions of friendship one day, and the next leave our friends in the lurch. The Duke of WELLINGTON may be, and cer tainly proved himself very good in the field, but he will never add to his laurels in the Cabinet, nor is lie likely to acquire any from the super fluity of Lord ABERDEEN ' S—that starched dis ciple of METTERNICH'S. The Convention of Cintra redounds little to the Duke's fame, and the blockade of Oporto will add nothing to his own or to that of the Foreign Minister's : LISBON, JULY 26. An expedition sailed two days ago against Madeira, which it is thought will be reduced; the force is pretty formidable, viz.: a large frigate, one corvette, and two brigs, with from 1500 to 2000 wen. oftxxsa, JULY 27. In consequence of a representation from Portugal to the Spanish Government, all the Portuguese have been ordered to leave the country in one month ; they are to embark at Corunna and Ferrol, and such as cannot provide for them selves on the road, will be allowed lodging and nine cuartos (about 2id.) a day. CORUNNA. A great number of Portuguese have arrived here from the interior, for embarkation, by orders of the Government. They are to sail in one month from the date of the order. This seems quite impracticable for want of conveyance. VIGO, AUGUST 6. The Marlborough packet just arrived from Lisbon, was spoken out four leagues off Oporto, by a brig with ten gul p', besides two very long ones, and very full of men. She bore down upon the packet under French colours, and afterwards hoisted Buenos Ayrean. She called herself the Liberty Hall, bound for Cadiz. CORUNNA, JULY 31. A great number of Portuguese have arrived here ; they complain bitterly of their treatment on the frontier. Among the sick is a young Englishman, who gives a woful ac count of the panic, disorganisation, and confusion of the Constitutionalists, when the order for the retreat was given, Why the chiefs should have abandoned the cause when at the head of a well organised force of 12,000 men, with 25 pieces of cannon, appears most mysterious ? It has been currently reported for the last three days that Mr. PEEL had tendered his resigna tion. The cause is not assigned, but the Duke has taken care in this instance that it was a mis take, and should be a mistake, because he was not prepared to take advantage of the circum stance. Things arc at present very ticklish both at home and abroad. The Russian and French Ambassadors had a long conference with the Duke of VIELLINarox and the Earl of ASER.D2"N, yesterday, at the Office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affilirs. The Spanish Minister (on a special mission) had an interview with the Earl of ABERDEEN yesterday, at the Foreigc Office, Downing-street. The Neapolitan Minister transacted business yesterday, at the Colonial Office, Downing-street. Despatche s were sent off on Saturday night, from the Earl of ASEUDEEN, to the English Charge d'Affaires at Madrid. The Duke of WELLINGTON has left Apsley MTN, Piccadilly, for kis official residence in Downing street, where his Grace will remain when in town, during the time Apley House will undergo a complete repair.

Consols opened at 871 I, were sellers at 1 ; the Chancery Broker at this price purchased 80,000/, for Frislity ; this was stated to be on accsunt of the Estate of his late Royal Highness the Duke of York, and it is understood that a similar sum is yet to be bought for the same parties. The Executors sell Exchequer Bills, which they hold as a temporary investment, to pay for the Stock. The demand for Consols increases the difficulty of the Bears, and pro duces an idea that the Funds may go still higher; although the market has been well supplied to-day with Money Stock, the Commissioners gave 871; the present price is 871 1. India Bonds, 112 14 ; Exchequer Bills, 71 2.

In Shares nothing has occurred worthy of notice. It is stated by the Lisbon letters of the 2d inst. that the blockade of the Island of Madeira was officially notified on 'Change the 28th ult., by the competent authorities, in the name of King Miguel. Some curiosity is expressed in the City how far the British Government will acknowledge this pro ceeding which will militate more particularly against English interests.

Last night two new melo-dramas were produced at this theatre; or, at least, two which were an nounced to be new, but one of which (The Two Galley Slaves,) we remember to have seen:at Drury lane some few years ago. This, however, is all fair; for, at the larger houses, tinder the announce ment of a new piece, we frequently recognise an old friend of the Coburg ; and, according to all princi ples of fair dealing, exchange cannot be considered as a robbery. The Dark Pandour, the first piece represented, is, we believe, a translation from the French, and presents most of the character istics of the modern mele-drama in perfection. The usual quantum of fighting managed with very good stage-effect, and very beautiful scenery, contributed to the eclat with which it was received. This melo drama is, however, by no means comparable to The Two Galley Slaves, which followed, and in which a young gentleman, named HOLD, performed the part of Henry with a degree of good taste and discrimination, which, if persevered in, cannot fail to raise him to a very respectable degree of emi nence in his profession. His performance was wholly free from that bane of all geod acting --rant—indeed, the performances of the even ing were of a description far superior to w h at t h ey used to be at the other side of the water. Mr. DAVIDGE has resolved that his audience should laugh as well as weep, and accordingly p ersona ll y invoked the comic muse in the character of the Yorkshire Attorney alias The Village Lawyer. Our sides literally ached with laughter at his admirable representation of this limb of the law, who lives by his wits, and whose roguery is only to be equalled by the duller knavery of his" client Skeep Face. The house was crowded in all parts. The Committee of„..Manageinent of Drury lane laave indicted, or prosecuted, or whatever it ma y b e , the proprietor of the Coburg Theatre for an infrin g eme nt of their patent, by acting the regular dram a. This step hat been wrongly attributed to the lessee; the state of t h e case is this—the lessee gives a vast a nnual rent for the theatre and the privileges which the patent affords. The summer theatres encroach and lower the value of the lease, because the alleged privileges are of no avai l. The lessee says, I have nothing to do w ith the p ower or the validity of protecting me fr om t h ese i n j ur i ous e ither protect m e , or l ower my rent, of your Patent, but I rent the house of you at this high rate, because it was re presented to me that your patent g i n a v v a e s i y o o n u s — t h y e o p o u power because, if you are unable to give me what you covenanted for, that is no fallt of mine, and I cry off from giving you a sum which nothing but your having the power in ques tion would entitle you to ask or induce me to pay. It seems right to mention this, as it acquits the lessee of any personal feeling of hostility towards the small fry of The'- plans,..--John Rai, LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. DIENDIZ A BIEL V. MACIIADO. Mr. WAKEFIELD was instructed to ask that 11 plea which had been set down in the case to be heard before the Vice-Chancellor might be heard his Lordship, as it related to points already decide° by this branch of the Court, and also by the Hoag of Lords. There was alio an appeal dependlt l before his Lordship. " His LORDSHIP ordered the appeal and plea come on together before him. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. JUDGMENT: •.. EX-PASTE ROBINSON IN TRY MATTER •OF FRAIIM A BANKRUPT. His HONOUR gave judgment to-day upon tli petition, which was argued before him yesterday considerable length. It was the petition of till assignees of the bankrupt Frere, praying that other debt might be substituted for that of the r titioning creditor ReynOlds, which was found ins' licient to support . the Commission. The petitl o was presented under the 18th section of the NO Act, which provides that if, after • adjudid: tion, the debt of the petitioning creditor sli; be found insufficient to support the Commi . sion of Bankruptcy, it shall be . lawful for the Cotir of Chancery to substitute for such debt the debt d any c ther creditor, which may be sufficient to stir port a commission, provided. such debt has been it' MU red not anterior to the petitioning creditor's debt' Mr. Roar, who appeared in support of the peti . tition, said that the assignees had been compelled t ° present it in their own defenCe, and under they very peculiar circumstances. The petitioning Ci ditor, Reynolds, had been himself twice a NO' rupt ; subsequently to his second bankruptcy h e ley to Frere the r.!oney which formed the petitionini creditor's debt upon which the commission again° Frere had issued. The present petitioners were a?, pointed assignees, and in the discharge of their doty as assignees they had seized some property belong' ing to the bankrupt, Frere. An action at law / o ` l , since been brought against them for such seizure, app in order to defend themselves properly at IS' it would be absolutely necessary for them to shew that the commission issued against Free; and under which they acted, was .a good and sal'' commission. The common law lawyers, to wbo° the assignees entrusted the defence of the actin'' advised them that they could not safely go to trio': unless some other debt were substituted for That o' the present petitioning creditor, inasmuch as Rev nolds having been twice a bankrupt; and not hay° paid 15s. in the pound under the second bankrupts" was was utterly disqualified from possessing p r oper and consequently from suing out a commission again !A Frere or any other person. This opinion of the Learn of Gentleman was founded upon the construction 1 , the 127th section of the new Bankrupt Act, whi r , provides, that where a bankrupt, who had previoufl i been a bankrupt, shall receive his certificate, vi c certificate, unless he has paid 15s. in the pound der his second bankruptcy, shall only protect n; person from arrest ; but his future estate and e fferf (except his teols in trade, his necessary furnitti! et ~, and the wearing apparel of himself, his 1r: and children) shall vest in the assignees and the second commission, who shall be e ntitl e bt to seize the same in like manner as they nlig„ t have seiz e d prop er ty of which the bankl, was possessed at the time of the issuing t o ( commission. It was admitted on the part v j Reynolds that he had not paid 15s, in the po t ' 1 ., under his second bankruptcy, and it was tberC 6o contended that the debt due to him from Frere b 1 , 30 absolutely vested in the assignees of Reynolds, v i ;, alone were competent to proceed against Fl og for the recovery of it, either at law or by s° ej out a commission of bankruptcy. The Leal ll to Gentleman (Mr. Rose) said that the question as ), the ability of Reynolds to sue out a cammis sl° ll l , had been submitted to the consideration of 1 , 0 Commissioners, who had not come to any deee n . upon the point, under these circumstances th e ass l b: nees of Frere sought the i n t er p os i t i on o f t hi s Cot t ," and merely asked for suc h re li e f as would ensva them to set up a valid commission upon the triol the action at law. Mr. SWANSTON followed on the same side. , Mr. MONTAGIJE apposed the petition,and contenue:t that Reynolds was in the same situation with reoP e a to control over his properiy, as an uncertifie 6 ; e l bankrupt was previously to the passing of the 38 :4 Act. The Learned Gentleman then cited se t he cases for the purpose of showing that unde r former law an uncertificated bankrupt could tnai° 3 l ; an action at law, or sue out a commission of b an ruptcy against his debtor, unless his assig n r i . interfered to prevent him. In th e present did stance, however, the assignees of R e y n olds - not interfere in the slightest degree ; ind e P e a n t : dently of this objection to the petition it wi l l:, tempted to be shewn, that the money lent by hands as trustee for his children, and that t nolds to Frere was money placed in his (ReP i ' it could not pass to his assignees. , said The VICE-CHANCELLOR, in giving judg..---t -that the question, which was one of importance, wo:, entirely upon the construction of sect. 127 of the Act' there certainly appeared to him to be a great dea l negligence about the phraseology of that section ; but as it declared that the future estate of the bank". rupt should, under the circumstances there stated' vest in the assignees, his Honour was of opinio that the assignees took a distinct title, and that th title of the bankrupt was therefore totally discharged If, then, the estate of the bankrupt Reynolds wg so vested in his assignees, he clearly could tic say that any debt was due to him from Frere, an consequently could not of himself sue out a CO' mission against hire. In the case of Frere, the! was therefore no petitioning creditor's debt, and would be a great injustice not to grant to the e' signees under his commission the assistance whit they prayed. Otherwise they must necessarily defeated in the trial at law, no matter how prope . s they might have acted with respect to the subj.tii matter of the action brought against them. v ie Honour did not attach any importance to the Cher clration of Reynolds, that the money which 4 lent to Frere was given in the character o f trust' to his children. yi In the course of the argument yesterdaY , 1 ,1 Honour asked whether the 127th section of t h i New Act was understood to apply to bank ru p tel i which had taken place previously to the passing the Mr Act M ? oNTA ouF. said that it unfortunately d , ° , , and within his own knowledge a bankrupt had , commence d business at Liv er pool, and was gettLli; on very prosperously, but no sooner did this Act Id than his assignees, rp off all his property, and reduced himse lf and f am ily to beggary.
