'Weat h r LONDON JOURNALS. tsitoM THE MORNING PAPERS - OF THIS DAY. Warning CiAronicik, FOREST OF DARTMOOR. The cultivation Of this Forest is a gain I • out as a 'Means of providing for the Poor, This Forest is parcel of the Duchy of Cornwall, settled by Edward the First on the Prince Of Wales,; and on all , fut,Ure eldest suns of the King, who were to have the title of Dukes of Cornwall. The bus. provemettt Of this tract of land has been often contemplated. It was proposed to,the Council of his Royal Highness, by Mr. Robert Fraser, nearly 30 years ago, and a Company was formed by' tile hie Mr Charles Cole, of which Lord f.autlerdale was to take a part, with a capital, by subscription, of 100,0001. for the improvetnent of the Forest. A. Bill was prepared for dividing and allotting I he,FO - rest, and forMingit,intort Separate parish. "Phi's Bill was prepared by Mr. Fraser, with the assistance of the late,,:l4r. Justice Boller, and Sir John An 'struther. It was signed by the Judge, Mr. Sun ders, and Mr. Bray. The Bill wets read. a first time, but . on further consideration, it -was found the soil was so poor, that it would never pay for , the expellee, of cultivation, except in some narrow tracts on-the bankt of the Dart. . Since, that time many other attempts have been made to turn it to use. Tire erection of alflor.. men,e building for the, confinement of prisoners of war, it was thought, might contribute to its improvement: But little benefit was obtained from the expensive measure, while the situation was found to be insalubrious, from the perpetual fog in which it is involved. Several grants,..for 99 yews, have been made of it to experimental agriculturists, at Gd. per acre for the first 30, years, and afterwards at trifling advances, hut these grants have been generally relinquished. When the Marquess of Hastings was resident in Scotland, as Commander-in-Chief, he assem bled a number,of the most intelligent farmers, and proposed to Oleo), with the authority of his Royal Highness, to allot prirtions of this Fot est to the numerous bodies of Highlantiers who were emigrating to the more bleak deserts of America. We remember' the NOble Matquess's report of this interview, the result of 'which, he toid, strongly evinced the sagacity of the Northern agriculturists. The Noble Lord stated to them the benevolent intentions of his Royal Eflghttess; —here was a most extensive 'fruit of elevated table land, situated in one of the fittest counties. of En; Laud, near to the grand—ns'val Plymouth, &c. &a. in,tead of their wandtriog to a distant and a miserable climate, away from all Their friends, from all markets, and nearly from -.- all civilized society. The Company Were Mightily pleased'with this description; hut they proceeded to. ask information as to the soil and products of this Elysium. What did Dartmoor produee in its ucoral state ? What "sveeds ? Were there any c , whips (that is long heath), or broom, or nettles, or even thistles ? To all theie ispiestions the Noble Marquess candidly owned the be !lever taw any one of these spontaneous produCts, ex cept in narrow sheltered spots ; and the concht• sion was, that a Moor upon which there was not, lo be seen heather, nettles, nor thistle's, was not likely to be worth cultivation. *** Such is the patriotic manner in which The Morning Chronicle of this day supports the bene volent design of the PutNce REGHNT'S (Ilan; of DARTstoott FIaRRST, it► order to give e►llpkyaleuC to the Poor in this period of distress. [The Times ] The worthy Chancellor of the Exchequer hay ing extended that law which could only apply to French subjects, to :Anise of England also Wil() happened to hate. money in the French Funds, the rewification of this singular mistake will be found in the following communication : " It was stated by the Chancellor of the Ex• chequer, in the !louse or cotifmous, last week, !hat foreigners holding property in the Ftench Funds could • not dispose of it by except in equal partition among their children; irceipt ot,letters :yesterday horn. Paris, in answerro in quiries expressly made on the subject, Bud de rived front a Ingh authority, _enables us le) contradict that statement. The following are extracts from them : " PAats, DEc. 27.—According to the practice invariably adopted at the Treasury of Fiance, and of which instances almost daily fall under our experience, the transfer of renles belonging to ttt lot eigner deceased, whether Isis d ecease - t .,k es place in France or elsewhete, is made conform ably to the laws and usages of the country of - which he is a native, and not to those of France; )tncl the property will be sortendered on the pr,,. duction of such acts and documents as the coun try to which he belongs requires for that purpose. " PARIS, SAME DATIL—The best answer I can give you %vith rept d to the role adopted iii Trance for the transfer of propetty in the French Funds belonging to toreigrers, is to quote a ease in point which has just occurred within my know ledge. A snot of Tellies standing in the name of A. B. of London, has been -transfored into the name of his executor, in the sante manner a$ wouci have been done in England."
