FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, May 17 and 18.) PARIS, MAY 17.—A report is spread, and several Journals repeat it this morning, that on the 3d of this month, in the evening, Don Miguel issued a De cree for the convocation of the Three Estates of the kingdom. The next day the young Viscount of Santarem addressed, in the name of the Regent, an official letter to the Foreign Ministers, to announce to them the resolution of the Regent, and to acquaint fheM . .With the Decree of the preceding day. It is that s .on the 6th the Members of the Diplomatic Body, i nc luding the •liiiiister of Spain, had ad dressed it Note to the Infant Don Migtiel, to inform hirn that their functions had ceased. A letter from Toulon, received at Marseilles on the Sth May, announces, as certain, the news .of peace between France and the Regency of Algiers. The Augsburgh Gazette has the following letter =Torn Berlin : " It is said that our Court has addressed to the great Powers a Declaration, in which it defends the military measures adopted by Russia against the Porte, and expresses its disapprobation of the con duct latterly pursued by Turkey." The Augsburgh Gazette adds, that the letters from Vienna, which speak of this Declaration, add, that Prussia also declares that it would net see•with indifference Russia disturbed in the exercise of its rights. It was reported at Madrid, that the Count D'Ot:elia would be appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs, on his return from London. The Illaniteur of Saturday, the 17th, ills seven columns with the continuation of the debates on the loan of four millions of rentes. General Andreossi made a long*peeelt, in which he entered into . :important political reflections on the relations of the European Powers with Turkey; he painted the 3'nbition of Russia, which, since the time of Peter I has had but two objects—Poland and Constan tinople ; it has Poland; it must desire Constantinople. All the wars with the .Turks have been undertaken with this view, and every war has advanced it a step. Now, there was only one step to take. — After that, India must enter into the views of Rus eia ; for those must be very confident who would Fancy that the meclerate thirst of glory and ambi tion would expire on the rock of St. Helena. The General disapproves of the Treaty of the 6th July, se ineffectual towards the attainment of the object. The Minister of War and Foreign Affairs also spoke, but the debate was adjourned till Monday. (From the Quotidienne, May 17.) Rom, MAY M.—Letters from Jassy, of April :73, say that an Envoy from the Ottoman Porte had arrived in that, city with despatches for the Russian Vice-Consul. The latter was requested to forward despatches to the Russian head-quarters, which he did. This circumstance had a little revived the hope of peace at Jassy. raven FUNDS, MAY 17.—rive per Cents. 103£ 3N% ; Three per Cults. 70f. 45c. ; Bank Snick, 1,910 f. ; 11(ntes d, Nap?el, 76f. 70c.—Exchange on London—One month, Stsf. 25c. ; Three do., 25f. 15c, GERMAN PAPERS. 07DER or Tin AT or Ms :MAJESTY TIIE ENIFFRAII.

We termi . :: . ate a just war; btiy on another side an equally ardnos: l 3 struggle awaits us for the defence of our honour and Pf the rights purchased with Russian blood. The hostile proceedings of the 'I iirkish Government had already exhausted the generous forbearance of the Emperor Alexander of glorious memory; that. Government hnr. now filled up . the" measure. Scarcely had it affirmed the peace by the most solemn oaths, when it openly threw off the mask of friendship which it had assumed. " We 'march in order to put an end to the troubles. and Massacres in the countries bordering on our em pire, ,and to establish the violated peace on solid foundations. Soldiers! in combating civilized nations used to the art of war, you have gain ed imperi4table glory, not only by the valour -which insured you the victory, but also by your magnanimity. Blind obedience to his superior, .F.,rict discipline, and mercy to the vanquished, have .11 , ,vay 3 distinguidted the Russian soldiers. You have 7een the peaceable inhabitants receive you with joy on your ruzival, and those whom you have conquered salute you with the name of deliverers. You main tain this glorious character, while you hold' out the hand of friendship to your fellow-citizens. Subdue those who will not submit, 7:-;ut spare the weak and the unarmed. Spare the property, the houses, and even the temples of our enemic., though they are of a different religion. " Thus the holy religion of cur Redeemer corn mans;. lie who, by mildness and humanity, shah have conciliMed the bitterest 'enemies—he who shall have defended the widows and the orphan, shall he as dear to my lisart as the bravest in the field, Rureiun soldiers ! you will not deceive my expecta ,ion. We have God for ug, who crowns justice and Intrepidity with victory. e ' NICHOLAS. , t St. Petersburgh, April 11 (26.)" IMPERIAL MANIFESTO. W e , by the Grace of God, Nicholas I. Empero7 and Autocrat of all the Russias, &c. " The preservation of the peace which Russia has enjoyed was always the chief object of our incessant care, and, thanks to the Almighty, our efforts have hitherto not been in vain. By the sudden invasion ,e:f the Persians, tranquillity was first disturbed on our frontier beyond Mount Caucasus ; but repelling force by force, we joyfully embraced the first op portunity to put an end to the war. A glorious and peace confirms in those countries the se curity of our empire. But, on the other side, the Ottoman Porte threatens Russia with war, and , ve n a war of extermination, which it has long had in contemplation, and which it seeks to make gene by in oni n g all its subjects to rise in a body • t inder the banner of its faith, u in our manifesto herewith issued, which an -iont;ces to our faithful subjects these threats and we thought fit Their inevitable to give a to ory meet this h i n or der,dut extension o I CI, not only by the aid to continue it w i t h f t , war with energy, but also ectati.on,. and notwiths ' t Tn an n d e i s n s ; if, contrary to all c'sP principles,. the obstinacy ,. of the moderation of ovr the enemy should rend.e.t. its duratiol.fhamoulable, rliere follows the imperial .orclinance or the the 'pire, except in Georieia and Bussarabia, , ant..l the six Cinv e r titre nts of Cherson, Ekaterinoslaw., Pultowa, r reoyern . 7 Kiew, and Podolia, which six :,arms being nearer the seat of war, will have tie fu rni sh supplies in kind for the army (to he deduct ed from their taxes), and therefore that the inhabit ants may not he disproportiohahly burdened, they shail deliver only one recruit out of 500 men; Ole levie; to commence on the ist (13th) of June this.. yea r, and must he completed in iwo months.

The Emperor, accompanied by the Prioce of Orange, and Prince William of Prussia, mein(' etch de- tachment before it marched out of the city, led it the other side of the barriers, and condescended to ad dress some words of encouragement, which were answered by all these brave men with acclamations of attachment to his Majesty's person. Their Ma jesties the Empresses also condescended to take notice of each regiment.. The troops, with his Im perial Highness the Grand Duke Michael at their head, and the Hereditary Grand Duke at the flank of the regiment of which he is the chief, accompanied by their whole suite, filed off rapidly before the Emperor and Empresses, and proceeded on the way to their destination with the exalted feelings inse parable from the sacredness of the cause which they are called on to defend. The Governor-General of New Russia and Beal. arabia has made known, that no embargo will he laid on merchant ships in the ports of those pro vinces, and that every one is at liberty to despatch ships and merchandise under the flag which they bear, to whatever place he pleases. Warning, how ever, is given, that as there is no Russian Minister at Constantinople, and in consideration of the pre sent differences with the Ottoman Porte, the Go vernment cannot be answerable for the safety of the ships and cargoes: thOse, therefore, which shall at tempt to pass the Bosphorus under the Russian flag must do it at their own risk. Accounts from Ismail of the 9th of April (N. S.) say, that in consequence of the quantity of snow that fell last year, the Danube has risen to an extraordi nary height on the breaking up of the ice, and inun dated the country. The accounts from Kilia say, that the ice in the Danube broke up on the 13th of March, and that on the 26th all the vineyards were overflowed and several of them wholly destroyed. BERLIN, MAY 11.—We now know that the Emperor of Russia will proceed from St. Peters burgh to Ismail, which will they► be the head quarters of the Russian army, and that the army will probably march through Bulgaria by the shortest route, and without much delay, towards Constanti nople. - - PRICES OF IRISH STOCKS.—DUBLIN, liar 16.

On the 7th of May his Majesty the Emperor will set out for Odessa—On the same day, at four o'clocl: in the morning, our army will pass the Pruth. General Diebitsch is the bearer of his Majesty's commands to commence hostilities on the 7th of May. Count Nesselrode, with all the persons be longing to the foreign department, who accompany the Vice-Chancellor to the army, will leave St. Petersburgh on the 9th May. His Majesty's suite is very numerous. . On the I , lth the Empress will set out for Odessa, where she will take the benefit of sea-bathing. Her Majesty will see the Emperor at Odessa, who goes to the army afterwards, when the military operations have made some progress. The guards which are on their march to Bessarabia have had very had weather, the roads were in such a condition that the cannon could scarcely he got forward. VIENNA, MAY 6.—An Austrian courier, who left St. Petersburgh on the 25th of April, arrived here yesterday evening, andbrings the news that the Em peror would leave St.. Petersburgh on the 7th of this month for Odessa, and would probably be with the army on the 18th. The Russian army had orders to pass the Pruth on the 7th of May, and to cross the Danube at the same time at Ismail and Oalue7. Of the Foreign Ministers at the Court of St. Petercburgh, none but Count Dornberg, the lianoverian Minister, intended to accompany the Emperor Nicholas to the army, The Marquis de Caraman, French Ambassador to this Court, has re ceived orders by a .courier to return to Paris, and will set out this evening.

Rich, arrived from the eastward on Wednesday. She will sail in a day or two for the Jamaica sta tion; and the. Medina, 20 guns, Commander Suck ling, now fitting . at Plymouth, will shortly proceed to the roast of Africa. The latter vessel will take out Lieutenants Carrington and Chaproniere, of the Royal Marines, ordered to supply the vacancies in the squadron cf that station. The Wellesley, 74 guns, Captain F. Maitland, is refitting at Spithead : she i. 4 ordered to enter sea men, to complete her crew to the war complement. His Majesty's steam-vessel Meteor arrived on Thursday from Cork, with Rear-Admiral Plampin, and suite. Rear-Admiral the Hon. Sir Charles Paget arrived at Cove on Friday, and on Saturday hoisted his flag on board his Majesty's ship Dis patch. The Semiramis (late the flag ship of the C o mmander-in-Chief on that station) was to pro- ceed to Plymouth to be surveyed. The Arab transport, Lieutenant J.

In At Spithead—Wellesley, Harpy, y Harbour--Victory, Melville. There has been less occasion for the display activity in the Dock-yard at this port during the past week, than at any period since the peace in 1811, there not having been a single vessel re, fitting except the guard-ships, and none paid off. We stated a few weeks since, npon good autho rity, that strong remonstrances had been made by the Finance Committee against the contemplated removal of the Victualling Establishment from this side of the harbour to that opposite, at Weovil, upon the ground of such a measure being attended with so vast an expenditure of public money. As it is contended that the convenience of the public service does not require the proposed change, it was con sidered that the suggestion of the Committee had been attended to, and that the idea of incurring this uncalled-for expence had. been:abandoned. Con trary to all exp ec t a ti on , however, orders have this week been received to transfer the stores to Weovil; and the Quay Store, which is to be given up to the Custom s department, is already cleared, and those fr om the long warehouse in the New Gun Wharf are inconsidaratis process of removal, Among other on which arise t objectionable to the policy of the change meditated, and in part acted upon . , a re these—the capacioustny nowe warehouses in King-street, admirably adapted au are to the purpose for which they were erected, i perfectly u seless and i na pplicable to barracks, are g to it be turned o a millover to the barrac k de p artment ; an d the ex mus t attend the substitution of a bynee that,tea u m ri n g Weovil, for the t ide mill on this side, whi c h, d the late war, has been found so efficien t , and worked at so trifling a cost. The erection of a projected steam-mill for Weovil, adequate to the Work which the present tide-mill can compass, cannot he effected for less than 50,0004, to which must he added that with which the tide-mill is not chargeable—a great consumption of fuel. Did necessity call for this new arrangement, by great inconvenience, expe rienced during the last active and protracted war fare, the present measure no one could cavil about, but in thd absence of any such complaint, we yet trust that the removal of the establishment will be stayed. The grand entertainment which is to tak( place at the Mansion House on Wednesday, is in lieu 01 :ha Easter Ban, which was this yeAr dispensed with. Et* , LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 19, 1828. and the The French Papers of Saturday, Gazette de France of yesterday, have been re ceived by express. They are chieflyoccupied with the debate upon the Loan of 80 millions, which gave rise to some animated discussion,_ The principal speakers, M. LAFITTE, M. R o y, M. BENJAMIN CONSTANT, Gen. ANAREoSI, and the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Th e speech of M. LAFITTE, the banker, was distinguished by some bold remarks, and much holder figures of rhetoric: Peace, h e says , has reigned in Europe for fourteen years —a species of political phenomenon, particularly when it is considered that this peace rests on the stipu lations of Vienna, that strange assemblag e of States without frontiers—of powers without pro portions—ofambition without counterpoise. This peace, it was vainly hoped by its framers, would be eternal ; but they were deceived. On Thrones, in Cabinets, in Armies, young hearts have superseded old ones—and the cause of Greece has roused the nations from their lethargy, till Europe is now agitated about the existence of the Ottoman Empire, which is threatened by its most powerful and natural foe. The edifice of peace has been shaken, and France must be on her guard. The Speaker then alludes to the partition of Poland—that blot in the annals of Europe—and says, though France should not attach herself to ruin, yet Empires must not be divided before her eyes without her being consulted or compensated for the threaten ing aggrandizements of her neighbours. So then it matters not how many Empires are di vided, so long as France shares in the spoil. But then follows a very modest boast—France alone, for the last fifty years, has not increased her territory—on the contrary, she has remained within her limits for a century, and that, too, while surrounding kingdoms were devoured ! But this forbearance now arises front necessity, not from choice. What does M. LAFITTE say to the conquests of France since the Revolution— to the kingdoms which she had devoured— and the mighty grasp of her ambitious genius, till the assembled armies of Europe constrained her to retire within her former limits? Really M. LAFITTE, should consider before he takes credit to France for moderation, which she has never yet evinced even in her language, far less in her sets. The orator truly says, that all States may become warlike and powerful if they have men and money to arm and feed them. " Population and finances are the two sources of powe France possesses both her population, lively, intelligent, and brave, furnishes her armies with the first soldiers in the world : her soil, her industry, supply abundant revenues. In these two points of view there is no State of the Continent which is comparable to it ; those which she does not surpass in po• pulation, she surpasses in finances. Superior to England in population, but inferior in riches, France reckons a thousand millions of revenue, while England reckons fourteen hundred mil lions. However, out of this, England devotes 750 millions to the interest of its debt. Thus England has alienated more than half of its re venue ; we, on the contrary, only a fifth. With prudence, then, France might join to the supe riority of its population the superiority of its finances ; and then who would dispute with it the first characters ?—what is necessary to obtain it ? Management. England, which has given the model of the finest financial institutions, has failed in practice." This may be true, but let not our neighbours trust to their superior management, or they will fail too. Our debt is no doubt a great evil s but, should occasion again require the exercise of our strength, our neigh bours will see that our physical energiee are not impaired by the amount of our debt. The Journal des Debats of Friday says, that every declaration of war begins with a protesta tion of love of peace, and regret at the circum stances which rendered necessary its interruption, with a wish that the negociations which pre ceded the rupture may renewed. Such are the forms of Diplomacy—and such the present policy of Russia, while her armies in the meantime rush on to Constantinople. In another column will be found extracts from Hamburgh and Germrn Papers, containing an Order of the Day of the Emperor NICHOLAS, dated feT)th April, to the army,couched in the usual strain of glory and praise ; and promising them a d ou ble, portion of each in the war with Turkey. It was said that the EMPEROR was to leave St. Petersburgh on the 7th May, and on the same day ot s finir o'clock in the morning, the 4rmg would pass the Pruth. The Army had orders also tr) pass the Danube at the same time at Ismail andGakle,7, and take the shortest route for Constantinople. ri fle ErrTcror was to fix his head-quarters at Ismail. Frankfurt Papers, and the Allgemeine Zei lung of the 12th in. . have been received, but they contain no news of interest. The increase in the population of Prussia for the last ten years amounts to nearly two millions:— ITTERSBURCH, MAY 3. Letters from Astrachan, of 27th March, say, that after a faw days mild weather the ice in the Wolga had brow n up, th e river having been frozen over for three months. The oldest inhabitants have no remembrance of so severe a winter, and such a quantity of snow, as this last season. The return of spring will enable the Nomade tribes, in the Government of Astrachan, to save the cattle which they }—tve left, the winter, having carried off great numberfi• In some places neither the Tartars nor the Russians had any forage left, and had not the local authorities given Ftrrni”iou to cut the young shoot; of the white willow to feed the cattle, not one would have survived : when the shepherds climb the tree 3 to cut off these branches, the famished herds were seen to assemble in a body round the trees, impatiently waiting for the food offered to them, which they devoured with greediness. ST. rETERSBUCH, M 2. The St. Peter burgh Journal give the account of the Ide parture of the guards, the Emperor's address to the sol diers, and the order for the levy of recruits ; they say no thing of the day of the Emperor's departure. VIENNA, Mar 7. Aletalliques, 89 9-16 ; Bank Shares, 1010. At a late hour this afternoon we received, by the Sir Edward Bankes steam packet, the Hamburg Reporter of the 17th instant, but it contains not much news. All vessels in Odessa on the 28th of April were chartered by Government. Military movements were ex tremely animated, and on the 2d of May the Head-quarters were to have been at Kischenew. The Metalliques on the Bth were 89 . Bank Shares 10111. Dutch Papers have been received to the 18th inst. The Russian Ambassador to the German Diet presented the Manifesto of the EMPEROR with an assurance of his Imperial Master's great moderation in not exacting severer terms from the SCRAM. What would he have ? the Throne of Persia ? It was expected at Paris that Don Alicum, would proclaim himelf King on the Bth or 13th instant. By his MAJESTY'S brig Mutine, Lieutenant PAWLE, with an American Mail, arrived at Falmouth, Halifax Papers to the 20th, St. John's (New Brunswick) 15th, Prince Edward's Island, and Miramichi of the Bth of April, have been received at the North and South American Coffee House. Their contents are extremely uninteresting, being chiefly confined to events of a local nature, or extracts from the English Papers. The Arcadian of the 4th of April states, that in consequence of the indispo sition of his Excellency the Lieut.-Governor, a message was sent, commanding the attendance of both branches of the Legislature at Govern ment House, at one o'clock, on the 3d, when his Excellency closed the Session with a speech, in which he thanks the President and Gentlemen of his MAJESTY'S Council, and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly, for the great zeal they have manifested in the discharge of their legislative duties. He then adds, besides transacting the usual public business of the Session, several very important acts have resulted from your deliberations, and I entertain a san guine hope that I may have it in my power when I next meet you, to offer you my congratulations on the improved state of the provincial Fisheries, and the establishment of Schools throughout the country. The address conveys the Governor's thanks for the liberal supplies which have been granted to his MAJESTY for the public service, and for the confidence which they continue to repose in placing such considerable sums at his disposal ; and that the extensive appropria tions for roads, bridges, and other objects of na tional improvement for the benefit of the Pro vince, shall be judiciously and faithfully em ployed, as well as the utmost economy used in every branch of the expenditure. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TiVILIZ o'Ctocr. The state of the Consol Account appears to have more influence upon the prices than any political or financial measures or reports, whilst the political horizon appears lowering and cloudy, with every appearance of immediate, and perhaps lasting, hostilities. The British public are soothed by the often-told tale of a " strict neutrality," and this report is st, engthened by the apparent apathy of our Go vernment. But whilst at home quietness and inaction reign, it must be remembered that we have the sinews and mate riel for any measures which may be deemed necessary to preserve the " boasted balance of power" (in the East) at Corfu, Malta, Gibraltar, and other islands contiguous to the Morea--to these places we have for Milla time past be•n sending arms, men, ammunition, and stores; at the same time the British fleet hag received additional force, to render our armament of such strength, as to be worthy the name of a British force.— Thus quietly, though steadfastly, have our Ministers been preparing for any possible contingency which may arise out of the Treaty of the 6th of July. Thus it is, that no active business appears in our arsenals and dock-yards, and hence has arisen that confidence, which, whilst it:lulls the, fears of the Fundholder, may he the means of creating, through the confidence thus established, a fall disastrous in its consequences ; for war, which is now inevitable, must, sooner or later, shake the security, and con sequently reduce the value of the Funds of all nations ; for it must not be forgotten, that during the peace we have in our affluence made loans for all countries, which enables them at this time to assume the position of war—whilst we, too weak and enervated by our liberality, are compelled to succumb to our wealthy neighbours, whose tyranny and in gratitude now rise in opposition to the Power which gave them strength. We have written rather longer upon this subject than usual, that the public may not be misled by the supposed security of foreign prices and neutrality. The former (we allude to the French Funds) are influenced by the operations of wary speculators, who, whilst they sup port the supposed value, are ridding themselves and their friends of their investments. The reports are the produc tion of a creative fancy, framed for the purpose of delusion. Consols opened at 85it' went buyers at and have remained at this rate nearly all the morning, with but few transactions ; they are now sellers, and 86 sellers for the next time.

Let the British Fuudholder remember that at the sams time he seeks a high rate of interest in Foreign Stocks, he but adds difficulties to his own Government, which will ultimately tend to the entire loss, not only of his British interest, but also his capital. The same congdence induced many' holders of Foreign Bonds to invest their all in Buenos Ay rean, C o l om bi an, Mex i can, Portuguese, a C n h d ilin o a ther Funds, and what is the issue ? Remembering these consequences, let the public beware, and not be led away by tempting interest, to theentire loss of their capital, a:at - 4 with some the hard-earned savings of many years' servitude.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. BLAKEMORE V. GLAMORAANSHIRZ CANAL COMPANY. Mr. WAKEFIELD requested permission to give notice of a motion in this case for Thursday next. There was now a motion pending to dissolve the existing injunction, which was appointed for that day ; and the object of the Learned Counsel was to extend the existing injunction to a further part of the Canal.—Leave granted. WARM3LEY FROND. This was an application on the part of the plaintiff, to commit the defendant, who is a solicitor, for contempt in the breach of an injunction. It appeared that Mr. Frowd, who is the proprietor of a farm at Madely, in Staffordshire, commenced an action against the plaintiff, who had been his tenant, for a breach of certain covenants, and fur the recovery of the rents alleged to be - due. The plaintiff's filed their bill in this Court for the purpose of ob taining an injunction to restrain Mr. Frowd from pro ceeding with that action ; the Court thought there was sufficient equity, and granted that injunction. The clerk of the solicitor 4 on the part of the plaintiff had tried, but ineffectually, to serve the copy of the injunction personally upon the plaintiff ; he proceeded with the action, and ulti mately arrested the plaintiff in defiance of the injunction: Mr. SITGDEN and Air. hoIENCV vrere in support of the application, and Mr. AGAR against it, who contended no proper notice Lad been given to the defendant. His Lokustm. thought the case on the part of Mr. Agar's client entirely failed, and made the order according to the prayer, and directed it not to be delivered out till further order, it being probable some arrangement would he made with respect to the costs. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. JUDGMENT. TRUMAN YARKINgOIf. At the sitting of the Court this morning, his 1101i0UA gave judgment in this cause. The Bill was filed by the assignees of a bankrupt, for the purpose of setting aside a deed of conveyance, on the ground that no sufficient con sideration had been given for it, and that it had been exe cuted in contemplation of bankruptcy. On the part of the defendants it was shown, that the sum of money stated in the deed as the consideration had been actually paid. Under these circumstances his Honour was of opinion that the deed was valid, and therefore that the Bill ought to he dismised. ARIGNA MINING COMPANY. lIITCIIENS V. CONCREVE BROGDEN. The arguments upon the application in this case were then resumed, and ate likely to occupy the Court during the entire day. It will be recollected that the object of the application is to compel the defendants to pay into Court, to abide the result of the suit, the sum of 15,0001. which they are charged with having improperly appropriated to therziselves. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. TILE KING V. ARIS. I❑ this case the defendant was convicted of a nuisance, in having erected a turnpike-gate in the neighhourhood of Bethnal-green; and Sir James Scarlett now applied for the prosecutor's costs, the prosecutor being the party ag grieved by the nuisance, and therefore, unthr the Statute of the 5 William and Mary, cap 11. see. 3., was entitled to his costa. The COMMON-SERGEANT objected, that as the prose cutor had agreed to take the opinion of a gentleman at the Bar on the question in dispute, but had afterwards refused to hold himself hound by that opinion, h: had therefore disentitled himself to costs. The CounT granted the application. TILE KING V. GILBERT. This was a criminal information against the defendant, a gentleman residing at Bodmin, in Cornwall, for a libel ou a Mr. Wallis, an attorney, residing in Bodmin, and also on his wife. The libel was published in the shape of a hand-bill, addressed to the Electors of Bodmin, and stated, that Mrs. Wallis was the Marquis of Hertford's woinau of business, that Mr. Wallis had obtained money which ought to have been spent in the town of Bodtpin,. and that a house which he had built in the neighbourhood of that town was built with money which he had thus possessed himself of. One of the libels concluded with an insinuation that' Mrs. Wallis had been guilty of inconti nence with a person named Glyn, and that a young lady, the daughter of Mr. Wallis, was the issue of this inter course. The information was to have been tried at the last Assizes for Cornwall, but the defendant pleaded guilty, and wan now called up for judgment. _ _ On behalf of the defendant, an affidavit was put in, stating, that he had written and caured to be published the libels in question in an unguarded moment; that it was the result of political animosity which existed in the tow❑ of Bodmin ; that he felt he had done what he was ashamed of doing, and that shortly after the publication of the libel he had published an apology. A number of affidavits were also put in from officers in the army, who had served with Captain Gilbert, and who bore testimony of his general conduct and character. Mr. ErtsKINE then shortly addressed the Court in aggra vation, and observed, that the station and character of Mr. Gilbert gave additional poignancy to the injury he bad inflicted. Sir JAMES SCA RLETI, in mitigation, stated, that the de fendant was fully impressed with the impropriety of his conduct, and that if his offence was aggravated by . the cir cumstance of his filling the rank of a gentleman, his suf• ferings were proportionably great at feeling that he now stood to receive the judgment of the Court for an act which he felt himself was disgraceful. The Learned Counsel alto stated, that the lihel was not written by the defendant, hut that he felt himself bound to give up the author. Mr. COLERIDGE followed at the same side. Mr. Justice BAY T.ET pronounced the sentence of the Court. lie observed that the apology did not go so far as to avow a disbelief of the imputations made against Mrs. Wallis, and therefore the defendant stood forth to receive the judgment of the Court for a most unwarrantable and unjustifiable libel. The judgment of the Court was, that the defendant should be imprisoned in the gaol of Bodenin for four calendar months, and enter into recognizance, himself in 2001, and two sureties in 100/. each, for three years. The defendant then withrirew in the custody of the Marshal of the Marshalsea. CONSISTORY COURT. At the close of some uninteresting busines., a person of the name of Smith, requested permission to address the Court. Ile stated that the object of his application w&' to be heard on an act and petition which he had given in against Mr. Arthur Loveday, a Proctor of this Court, praying that he should he struck off the roll for miscon duct, in having gro ss l y mismanaged the conduct of his cause during a period of three years. Dr. LUSITINCTON said, it was quite impossible for the Court to take cognizance of dispute s between Mr. Smith and his Proctor. intention,tt facts of th e case, and th e b C our t, would determine what course should be adopted.r i‘ oc i t r o . r, as would, he Ir Smitilsaid he wouldNas evieed, induce burinigsuchcharges against the Proctor, the Cou r t to interfere; and he begged to be h eard in support of his allegations, in the first Session of Micha e l mas T erm.

Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS moved that the rule for a new trial in this case should be made absolute, on the ground of excessive damages, the verdict of the jury being to the amount of 300/. ea n u la se id, ag a aniudsttherule. b a now s h o l lady's s I Mr. he Sergeantplaplaintiff t NirV had d E sub sequently lived with her uncle, who kept a public hours in Brick-lane, Spital-fields, where she became acquainted with the defendant, who keeps a flourishing house of a similar description is the same neighbourhood. He had promised her marriage, and it appeared in evi dence that he had said he would rather have her than 1,000%. He had, however, subsequently married a ladY who had that sum, thus breaking his promise with the plaintiff. Since Hilary term affidavits had been tiled by the defendant. Mr. Sergeant ANnamrs here interposed, and said that notice had been given that these affidavits would not lie used, and it was not regular, therefore, to a llude to them. Mr. Sergeant Wxt,oE insisted upon his right to 11 0 so, and then said, that more scandalous a ffidavits hail ~ ever been put upon the files of the Court. One of those davits was from a Mr. Cope, (die name of the lady whom the defendant had married was Cope), an d be swears that since the trial lie has obtained information, which he believes to b e tole, that one Peter Rowley Amos had said, that he had known the plaintiff for the space of two years, during which he frequently had had criminal intercourse with her. Now it was somewhat strange that Amos himself bad not made an affidavit to that effect, if it was true, but it was not so. It was a most infamous proceeding, as would be Chown by the affidavits in answer, for be had the tiffidOit of the plaintiff inunif, milting that abs knew Ames, and that he had offered to marry hettblt. .. she declined to b ec om e hi s wif e , b ecause s h e k new biO , be a dissipated and immoral c h aracter. Sh e also str":d that she never had criminal intercourse with him; did she ever conduct herself lightly towards him, e ,, towards any other person. If any thing die were 0, ing to prove this- to be a most b ase an d ma li gnan t hood, it was supplied by oth er affidavits, •whieb held, made by the parties, who swore that this Amos V, applied to various persons to come f orwar d an d on something detrimeatal to the character of this girl, OF, he dared not do himself, although Cope insinuated tN he himself could have done sn from his own knowle! of him. He freely admitted that the damages were 1 0 4 Chief Justice BEST. 12 very p ro b a bl e , brother 111', that if these facts were known at the trial, the datiOr would have been much larger.

Sergeant Whoa then contended that under the; cumstances of the case their Lordships could not caws to disturb the verdict. Mr. Sergeant AN nREWS then addressed the Court on part of the defendant, contending that the damages enormously high, and that the rise deseried to he subasiOf . to the consideration of another Jury. The CistrF JUSTICE then said, that in his opinioti; was impossible to disturb the verdict. If the affidaY,„ had not been filed, there might ha ve b een a di s p os ition ; send the case to another Jury ; but the Court was l' t) satisfied that they should not do so, and the defendant only to blame his own indiscretion and wickedness in OP ) those affidavits for the decision which teas now come °; His Lordship then a ll u d e d i n severe terms "to the contht c of Amos, as well a s o f th e d e f en d ant , an d conclu d e d , saying, that the rule should be discharged. The other Judges also concurred in the opinion. that verdict ought not to be disturbed, and the rule for a trial was accordingly discharged.

This plant, upwards of eight feet, was originally brought from t P Castle of Dumbarton, and presented altogether a noble ar; pearance. Shortly after the pageant was over, a !nap frP_, Dumfermlinu procured a slip from this our national fP:,„ blem, and upon his return home, planted it in hi s !I T; garden. The following y ear th e pl an t grew amazi o V 6 l and at the anniversary of the KlNci's vist, it hail re ac `;he the height and size of the parent stock, and attracted notice and admiration of ev e ry beholder.
