FORPIGN NTELLIG'ENCE. FRENPI PAPERS (From the Gazette de France, Dec. Orw.ssA, Nov. 13.--By order of the Governor- General of New Russia, notice has been given, that all persons who, in consequence of the measures taken by the Porte Yfter the battle of Nayarit!, have any demands to make, are to- present them within four weeks after the publication of the present notice. Within these few days 6,800 prisoners of war of the garrison of Varna passed the Danube at Saba neff, escorted by two regiments of chassours. Gen. Ousehakoff has been here for some days past. FRONTIERS OF BOSNIA, Nov. 12.---We learn that an order of the Su has been published in the whole empire, for all men able to bear arms to ra lly. round the standards of their respective Captains.

The Capitan Pacha is to sail to the Dardanelles as soon as pos sible, to observe the Russian blockading squadron which is expected every Moment. It is officially announced that the Sultan has given formal orders to the new Grand Vizier to retake Varna whatever it may cost. This energetic measure seems to indicate a winter campaign. SANGUINARY. AFFRAY WITH RE,SUR, RECTION AIEN. (From the Dublin Morning Post.) On the night of Thursday and morning of Friday last, Merrion church-yard was made a scene of blood and outrage, under circumstances at once shoekine to humanity. The facts are shortly these : • Sometime about a week back, a female of the name of Ryan, died in the neighhourhood of Mer tinn„ and was interred in the church-yard there.— Af te r the burial, four brothers of the - deceased, as sisted by some friends, kept constant Nereeh at the grave of tlesir sister, to protect her remain" f rom violation. On the above night, betweets eight and nine o'clock, the Ry'ens having left two of their party ae sentinels at the g rave, retired with the remaimler into a cabin, sie:tate close to the church-yard. They had not been long there when a knock was given at the door; it was opened, and outside appeered a party consisting of about nine or ten persons, some of whom, addrestitig themselves to those within, announced to theni at once what they were and the purport of their business, -namely, that they were Resurrection men,• and came there to raise bodies, as subjects for dissection, adding, that being aware of their being engaged watching a corpse, they bed called upon them, in. the fu-st instance, for the purpose of having the grave in which it was deposited pointed out to them, in order that they might avoid it, and by doing so be left at liberty to effect their object elsewhere uninterrupted and un disturbed. To this the reply from the other party was,that although they came there espeeie)iy to guard a particular body, yet that while they remained they were determined equally to protect the others, and in a word, that they would •riot suffer any whatever to be disturbed. The " Resurrecon-men" on this expressed their determination to go to work at once, and raise and carry off by force, if necessary, as many bodies as they pleased, without regard or dis crimination towards any one beyond another. They were proceeding accordingly to act up to this decla ration, when the opposing party sallied forth and arranged themselves, to resist their entrance into the burying-ground. A conflict instantly ensued; sticks, stones, and fists, were the only sveapons in requisi tion, and after a pretty smart contest in this way the "resurrectionists" were defeated, end compelled to - retire. About two o'clock in the morning they re turned with a reinforcement so considerable as to make their numbers amount to upwards of forty persons, several of whom were provided with fire arms ; more came prepared with other weapons, of an almost equally fatal description, while some bran dished spades, pick-axes, and other instruments of their unhallowed trade, as their offensive arms. Those whom they thus came to attack showed that they had not been inattentive to the hints thrown out by the others at their departure : in the first instance having, in the interval of their absence, been busied in increas ing their force, by the addition of both men and arre2, they now stood in regular array in the church-yard, expecting and prepared for the vi tit. There was no time spent iii parley. A volley of bullets, slugs, and swan-drops, from the " Resurrectionists," com menced the engagement. This was promptly an swered by a similar discharge from the other side, while those who were not armed with guns rushed on each other with such weapons as they possessed. After the contest had been supported for sonic time with the most untii.nehing ferocity, the wretches who had originally been the cause of this bloodshed be gan to give way, and were soon after entirely driven from the premises, when they retreated towards town, bearing with them their wounded companions, leaving, however, their victors no great cause of congratulation, as to the terms on which they purchased their success ; several of them hav ing sustained very serious injuries, but fortunately zio loss of life. The field of action, on the follow ing morning, exhibited abundant proof of the deadly animosity with which hostilities had been carried (eh The walls, many of the grave-stones, and tom bs, being marked by the shot and balls with which they had been struck ; and on the ground were found quautiti'es of the lead, flattened by the concussion. ---; The young girl, w hom nettmentioned some weeks since as being in a s tate of torpidity, has ev i nce d no further signs of animation.

In this case, the particnlars of which we gave in our Paper of Monday , the Attorney was heard at considerable length for the defendant, and stated that " this was an action brought against the defendant, for having made certain notes which are particularly described, namely, notes payable on demand generally ; but which, when they come to be produced, turn out to be any thing but notes payable on demand generally." The defendant called no evidence, and the Chief Justice having summed up, re commended the Jury to find a verdict for the plaintiff, which they did accordingly. Regardina the mountain-pass between Turkey and Persia, ilr. Buckingham, in a new volume of his Travels, relates the following remarkable story of a lion and two lovers the mountain pass was shown to us a small natural cavern, which a lion had made his den, and to which lie had dra, /t 7ed many an unwary passenger as his prey, inspiring such terror as to put a stop to all journey mg by tni. mute. It happened, that two young Koords were at this time disputing the possession vS a virgin of the plain. wh om U they both loved; but as they lived on pass and th e o bj es: t o f th e i r a ff ec ti o n s the one side of the on the other, tio•re was an end put to thtir evening inter views, by the intrusion of this destroying licit It was thought ton hold an enterprise, even for a lover, to force this passage alone, but as the object to be attained by such a step was equally dear to both, they f or a moment threw aside the jealousy of rivals, nod exchanged reci procal pledges to stand or fall together in the attimpt. Then, arming themselves and mounting two of the Lest horses of the county, they vowed , in the presence of their friends, entire and cheerful sulmaission to the will of fate; stated their intention of forcing together this interrupt e d pass and dragging out the lion from his den, being content, it both siiuul<t est! pe destruction, that tie voice of their be loved should decide oil their respective claims, 4 , 0 , if one only fell a victim, that the other would have his t.Cy,.rig consent to marry her.

Morning ;ninutc...4 alter 4. minute.: after 5. a 3' ribr LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 10, 1828 It is one among the few recommendations of I a Military Administration, that the Government knows better than any other where to put its finger upon military abuses, and possesses a greater facility for their correction. We think it right to notice, among the many rumours of the day in welt-informed circles, that Sir H. HARDINGE is making the most rigid inquiries into the War-office, and the subordinate depart ments connected therewith, and that various abuses have • been discovered which are likely to be rectifiel We almost fear to mention the number of persons said to be receiving half-pay and pensions improperly in several Regiments, and one in particular. It is whispered, but ma liciously, no doubt, that one Reverend Gentle man has bee), in the habit of receiving three pensions! If these abuses really exist in the Army, we think that the country will feel grateful to an Administration that shall rectify them. The people must always entertain a cordial satisfac tion in supporting the honour and character of those men to whose heroic achievements the country is so much indebted,—and it is only in being relieved from the imposition of such mal pract;cms as those alluded to, that the nation can afford to do justice to those warriors whose gal lant services really deserve it : " The soldier is his country's stay In day and hour of danger." We have at length news respecting the raising of the siege of Silistria, which bears something of an authentic character. An article from Bucharest, the capital of Wallachia, says that the siege of Silistria is raised, and that the grand Russian head quarters are to be re moved to Jassy, This movement is said to be solely caused by the want of all kinds of subsistence, and by . a fall of snow, which lasted for several days, accompanied with ex traordinary cold. It is denied that the raising of the siege was the result of military operations, but this appears rather questionable when it is admitted that part of the heavy artillery which could not be brought away, was thrown into the bogs near Silistria. Besides other things which Could not he moved were destroyed. It appears ra ther unaccountable, if there was no army to liar rass them, that the Russians should sacrifice so many things which would be of service here after. The extreme badness of the roxl; may be one reason, but it is not altogether satisfactory. The siege was raisod on the Bth November, being nearly six months from ite commencement. The natural inference, therefore, is that the Turks must have behaved most gloriously, and the Russians the very reverse, in not being able to ' make any seriou s impression upon the garrison, w hi c h would warrant an attempt by storm, before the cold weather had set in. Indeed the whole cam p a ign, comparing its actual results with the ambitious pretensions of its commencement, appears to have been most grossly, most igno rantly, and perhaps most Culpably, miscon ducted : BUCHAREST, NOV. 19. The apprehensions that have been long entertain ed en account of the state of things in Bulgaria, and the ditlicuitiez of all kinds with which the armies had to contend, ate justified by the most recent e‘ents, only the fall of Varnit having been so late seems to have been the cause that ttie going into winter quarters was delayed for four weeks. • The siege o Silistria is raised, and , the grand Russian head-quarters g:, }o Jassy. As far as we yet know this movement has been caused solely by the want of all kinds of subsistence, and by 4 (41 snow for many days, accompanied with extra ordinary cold. Though the Russian soldier bears the latter better than any other, yet it greatly affected the troops in their desti:4l,!,: 2 and P"tAtusted state. In consequence of these de plorable eircurnstanc2s it was evident that the siege could not be continued, and it ;To an the Bth of November. It is said that part of the heavy ar tillery, which could not be brought away, was throWn into the bogs near Silistria. The other things which could not be moved were destroyed. The army retires by way of Hirchova, to the left bank of the Danube. This is the account given by persons worthy of credit of the late events before Silistria. Nothing is known here of movements of any T►►rkissh corps, and the reports that have been spread to the disadvan tage of the honour of the Russian arms, as if the raising of the siege had been the result of military operations, appear to deserve no credit. VIENNA, Nov. 28.—Metalliques, 951 ; Bank Shares, IQ94i• . The Princess Elizabeth packet has arrived with a mail from Buenos Ayres and Rio Janeiro, bringing accounts from the former to the 18th September, and from Rio to the 15th October, Peace has at length been con cluded between the authorities of botti these places. The greatest demonstrations of joy were manifested at Buenos Ayres in consequence, and the rate of nrchange rose 22 to 23 per dollar. The Exchange at Rio' was only 32i per milrea, which proves.,. that the terms of the. Treaty were not considered so advantageous to the Brazilians. The terms were not, hok,vever, published, but it was sup posed that they were very favourable •to the Buenos Ayreans. The treaty had been sent to Santa Fe for ratification, and was expected back in a few • days. Indeed, subsequent accounts warrant the belief that it had been ratified at once, as the American corvette, Boston, was spoken with by the packet going into Rio, as she was leaving, and the Captain said that the ratification had taken place RIO DE JANEIRO, SEPT. 29. To give our readers a just idea of the deplorable state of Portugal, and the vindictive spirit of the new Government, we lay before them the following document. (This document is the order given by Don Miguel for the prosecution of persons, not military, concerned ire the insurrection at Oporto, dated 14th July, 1828.) oi:T. 11.---By order of . his Excellency Miguel Calmon, President of the National Treasury, the public are informed, that on the 15th . instant there will be a sale of 1,200,000 milrees of obligations (apolices) of the debt founded by the law of the 15th Nov. 1827. OCT. 13.--The Diario is entirely filled with re flections on the birth-day of the Emperor Don Pedro, (Oct. 12), and an account of the festivities on the occasion. The Thario, from 22d September to 13th Oct. is almost wholly filled, with uninteresting local ordi nances, and the proceedings of the General Assem. bly in the month of July. No mention is made of peace or negociation with Buenos Ayres. BUENOS AYRES, SEPT 15. The Correo of this date (the latest received) says that the Swallow packet had arrived the day before, and brought news that the treaty of peace had been ratified by the Emperor, and that Don Pedro Feliciano Cavia, secretary of the Argentine Legation, brings it to our Government to be ratified here.— The packet in which he comes sailed from Rio de Janeiro on the Ist of this month. The letters say that the terms are honourable to our country, on which the Correa congratulates the pub lic, The Correo of the 14th September says, that news of the conclusion of peace had been brought by a North American brig from Rio to Monte Video; the Captain of this brig also brought a Rio paper, in which is the following paragraph. The Editor of the C'ot reo had not seen the paper, but received a copy from a respectable quarter ".RIO DR JANEIRO, AUG. 22. " It is positively known that the peace so much desired is at length concluded; the terms, which are said to be advantageous to both nations, were signed by the respective Ministers, who will shortly pro ceed on board the British packet to Buenos Ayres. It is affirmed that Don Pablo Barbosa is commis sioned to carry the official notice to London, the British Minister having offered for the purpose a swift-sailing English frigate, which will sail in the course of a week." The following letter has been received from the Agent to the North and South American Coffee-house, dated Buenos Ayres, Sept. 17 : " The packet Swallow arrived here the 14th inst., bringing us news that the preliminaries of peace were signed at Rio Janeiro, the particulars of which you will get long ere this reaches you. The terms are very advantageous for this country, and have created universal joy here, speculators excepted. A variety of circumstances have led to this happy result, the determination (so it is said) of the British Government to break up the blockade, combined with the state of affairs in Portugal, Brazil, &c. Nothing row is wanting to make this country great and prosperous bat a strong Government. They have resources, and are generally speaking an excellent people, a little conceited perhaps, but that is better than the other extreme.

The Aurora, Rowland, hence to Liverpool, was seen on the morning of the same day, standing for Cape North. Extract from the Agents to Lloyd's, at Rio Janeiro, dated Oct. 11.---Yesterday advices were re ceived from Buenos Ayres to the 19th ult., by which we learn the treaty had reached there, and no doubt whatever was entertained about its ratification, though as a matter of form it had been sent to the Congress at Santa Fe; the Swallow packet was waiting to bring it up.

IfAlr. This was the second seal. His LORDSHIP stated, that he'had again reed the agreement, for the purpose of seeing if lie could alter the impression he had entertained previously, and be felt quite satisfied that that impression was a right one. The affidavits in the case were at variance with each other, and the Court had been desirous of seeing whether Mr. Ballantyne would make an affidavit in confirmation of what had been stated by Mr. Hay. Mr. Ballantyne had declined making any affidavit, and the statements he had made were any thing but a confirmation of Ur. Hay's. The Court, therefore, felt it se lf b oun d t o grant t h e injunction. COLESIAN V. WITMER. His LORDSHIP had read the papers with refer ence to what fell from Lord Elden in this case, and the course which he thought best to adopt would be to place it at th e b ottom o f those Cases in which Lord Eldon had not given judgment, and which now stood for rehearing before his Lordship, but without any present intention that the case should come on till the cross bill was matured. The Count then heard several motions, and rose at a quarter before one o'clock, having nothing to go on with, in consequence of the absence of Counsel. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. This was a continuation of the Seal day. I NJUNCTION.--..GOODPOLE V. THOMPSON, OTHERIVISE COUNTESS It UMPOU.D. In this case an injunction bad been grunted to re strain the Countess Rumford from proceeding in an action at law against the plaintiff for the recovery of a promissory note for I,OOW. Mr. ROLFE appeared to-day to show cause against the injunction being made absolute. The acquaintance of the parties commenced on their way to Paris in a diligence . ; the lady happened to be short of money, and the plaintiff very gallantly accom modated her with the necessary supply for defraying her expences on the road. . This naturally led to an intimacy, and shortly after their arrival in Paris, Countess Rumford, understanding from the plaintiff that he was about to invest some money of his own in the public funds, begged of him to dispose of 1,0001. for her in the same way, and to treat it exactly as if it was for his. own benefit. This he consented to do, and so great was the reliance of the Countess upon the skill of the plaintiff in all the mysteries of the mysteries, that she wrote him only two months after he received the 1,0001. from her, expressing a hope that he had already, by hie judicious management, doubled that sum, and con fessing at the same time that, in anticipation of the great profit likely to result from his agency, she had " done nothing less than set up a coach." In other letters she also treated the 1,000/. as if it were to share the same fate as the money which the de fendant himself had in the funds, and so it did, for he contrived to lose nll his own money, and her 10001. also went. Whilst the plaintiff was in the progress towards the loss of his and his friend's mo ney by speculation in the stocks, it happened that she was desirous of opening an account with a Parisian bank, and in or d er to satisfy the bank of her solvency, she procured the promissory note iu question from the plaintiff, purporting to be for the proceeds of stock sold out by him on her account. The Countesz was now proceeding in an action for the recovery of the amount of that note, although, as the Learned Counsel contended, she had placed the 1,000/. entirely at the disposal and management of the plaintiff, and although he had ma naged it to the best of his ahilitiea and skill, The Countess had admitted the letters to the plaintiff in her answer ; but she certainly insisted that the note had been given for a valuable consideration. It would, however, be for his Honour to judge, from the let ters of the Countess, whether the plaintiff was not justified in treating the money as it were his own ; and, although he was unsuccessful in his speculations, it would be a most harsh proceeding to compel him to refund the 1,0001. The VICE-CHANCELLOR, without calling on Mr. Phillimore, who appeared for the defendant, said, that as the promissory note was given subsequently to the letters referred to by Mr. Rolfe, the plaintiff must be bound by it. The injunction must there fore be dissolved. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. hONNEIL V. NAYLOR. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a broker, to recover the sum of 1211. from the defendant, which sum the plaintiff bad paid on his account. Mr. GURNEY arid Mr. CHITTY appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. PoLLOCK, with Mr. PLATT, for the defendant. The circumstances of the case, as they appeared in evidence, were these., The defendant applied to the plaintiff to sell for him four shares in the Se vern and Wye Railway Company, and upon being advanced the sum of money in question, executed an assignment of the shares, to which he signed the name of Richard Naylor, his own name being George Richard Naylor. The purchaser of the shares sent this assignment to the office of the Com pany, to have the transfer registered in their books; but he was there informed that there were no shares standing in the name of the Richard Naylor whose signature was affixed to the assignment; but that twelve shares were standing in the name of his fa ther, Richard Naylor, deceased, to which his three sons were entitled ; that four of these shares were the property of the defendant, but yet they could not be transferred, unless the assignment was exe cuted by his two brothers as well as himself, although he was always called Richard Naylor, and even in his father's will he was so called. His brothers were out of England, and he had great difficulty in pro curing their signatures to the transfer; but at last the signature of one of them, who was studying medicine at Gottingen, was obtained. The other brother was, however, not so easily met with, and the plaintiff at length brought the present ac tion, to recover back the money, not wishing to remain out of his capital until the defendant could make good the transfer, when the time at which that could be done was so very indefinite. On the other hand, the defendant refused to refund the money, telling the plaintiff that the transfer should be executed as soon as his brother returned to The defence waa that Mr. Bonner, at the time he advanced the money, must have known that the shares were the property of the father, for he inti mately knew the whole family, and he was therefore bound to submit to any inconvenience which might follow. He knew that at the date of the shares„ which was in 1810, the defendant was only seven years of age, 414 that he conlel not pos s ibly be the Richard Naylor ;n whose nam e t h ey stoo d . Mr. Bonner was a broker, employed b y t h e d es fendant, and he ought to have comlucted the husi. neis in a proper manner for him, which he had not done, and now he sought to recover back the money, when all the inconvenience was the result of his own negligence, for which negligence the defendant had no right to be the sufferer. The CHIEF that there was great i;reguterity 90. all sides in the transaction, but he thought under all the circumstances of the case that the plaintiff was entitled in point of law as as in equity to thpir veNicf, The ' j9ry accordingly , found a verdict for the plaintiff to the full amount claimed, being 1141. 14s. after deducting for the profit upon a subsequent re sale of the shares.
