Letters from the. South of France give extracts from letters from Marseilles and Genon. The news they contain might be Considered as decisive of,the pre.s.i-nt campaign in C mere; but it must be observed that they come from Greek houses, anti there,Tore . , implicit faith cannothe given to them. The substance of these letters will be found in the folloWin, , t extracts : " Ibrahim Pacha, finding himself reduced to great difficulties, had proposed an armistice and a convention, by which he should evacuate the .51orea with all his troops, and return .to Candia, without being moleSted by . .the Greeks. 00fi- Atirlotti had, however, refused to conliiae a convention, but on condition that Ibrahim :Paella's army shoid . 4, surrender as prisoners of war, with all its- l baggage; ; that the citadels of Modon and Corm should be - given up to the Greeks, as well as 'the little islandsOccupiedptbe Arabs. ConcluriGtti will then use his influence with - thelGreek Government, to allow Ibrahim and his troops to embark fot Alexandria in neutral vessels, on their solemn prothise not to serve again against the Greeks. Farther negociations, it is stated, were going on, no parti culars of which were known ; but there was no doubt that the 4:apitulation would be speedily concinded."

These numberless useless ;Intuit:lures arise oot.of the very extended jurisdiction of the Court, a juris diction which Mr. Witr.wislvery truly pointed out as an usurpation, and founded on no principle of common Law, or even eoint non J us rie. It would therefore seem,' that if the objects of the tender mercies of the Court were reduced, the ex pence of a necessaq Chaucery suit might be re duced also. A great deathas already been said as to the propriety of taking away the jurisdiction of the CHANCL:LLoit in cases of Bankruptcy, and we therefore le'ave that branch to itself, .€e marking, ituvrOter, that if the f our t ee n lists of Commissioners nt 'Firankeupts were destroyed, end their duties-'and- salaries, together with such additional povi . tis ',Ohich:viould make their de cision finai was vested in four individuals taken from the profeision-orthe -law, 'a great deal of trouble might,beAVed to the Chancellor, and a great deal of eXpence to those -who are placed in that-unfortotrate-Contlition-asio need such assist• ance in the ikele'inetrf of their; affairs.- WW's soy wv pass over'tbelPtukruptcy jurisdiction and turn to that ariSing,t:ine of trust's: flits j*nrisdiCtiOt was rejected t) , •tilez..oowris of Law, by a refinement of reasoning most unintelligible in these days, and snapped at by: the -Court of Chancery ith an eagerness end delight that -strewed: the v4lue. . placed On: this jj'eitel .

This, the natural effect of granting lands to-A for the use of was an evil- in the days of tire good King HAIM'S' Vllltb, and he therefore thought it fit to pass an Act of Parliarnentohe effect of which was to transfer the use into possession, or, in plainer terms, constitute B the absolute legal owner of the estate, the produce of which he was to enjoy by the express, terms of the grant. Now Courts .of Law, in those very learned days (for what reason never could be said), held , that- a use could not be limited.on a use, and therefore where that was done left' the Court of Chancery to give ef fect to it. The consequence has-been; that by the introduction of four words into a convey ance, and the-obstinacy of the Courts of Law, a moat beneficial Act - was• repealed, and the only pOrpose it answer;ed, was to bother the uninitiated, -and confirm the very juris diction it was intended to - abroe,ate. 'thus, suppose a grant of landi to A.. far:the use of A., this, by the Operation of the Statute, puts A. into absolute Possession,,aed - tints abolished the com mon assurauce.by feollThent and livery of svisin.

That -this was very Tunny, no one can doubt, yet it is the truth, and on- this most extraordinary reasoning almost all the titles to land in the present day depend. ; Perhaps, however, it is too - late now to give Its proper effect to the act of lieru r he Eighth, but never theless, no mischief • could result from. giv ing• to the cestui RUC trusts a -remedy at law, as well as in equity; to: eeforce the execution of a trust, and thus at. all events, in this re spect; lighten the btirdens and Clip the talons of this most oppresske Court : - No good reason can be assigned why cestui quc trusts ought not to have the security of the law for the due execution of the trust,, or why 'he should be deprived of his remedy of Arrest and Bail, which he cannot -have under the.exist ing law. We will take another opportunity of sheaving the effect of this law of trusts on per tonal property ; a press of other matter compels us to withhold it at present.

THE LATE GEORGE CHALMERS, ESQ.—It may be fairly said that Government have lost a zea lous, intelligent, and most usefttl servant in this Gentleman. He was always alive to the interests of the country, and suffered no subject of na tional importance to pass without due observa tion, and the full exertion of his endeavours to render it intelligible to the world at large. Com merce, Manufactures, the Bullion Question, &c.. Icc., were rendered easy of comprehension by his clear and strenuous elucidations. lie seemed' indeed to have been born with an indefatigable zeal for the interests of mankind, hut, of course,' more particularly for those of the British Em pire. He passed much of the earlier part of life in Atherica, and was thoroughly conversant with those principles which were best calctilated to promote the interest of that country, and to se fure harmony between -it and the parent state, : His disposition Was social and cheerful, but his mind was alWays vigilantly directed towards • the advantage of the community. His political. principles were soundly constitutional. - When the specious, alluring, but destructive, doctrines. of THOMAS PAINE, were gradually undermining every sentiment of loyalty among the middle and lower ranks of society, he came resolutely for ward, and addressed a letter, under his own name, to Dr. CualtlE, which excited great atten tion at the time, and he also published a life of that bold, insidioug, and baleful Apostle of DE MOCRACY, PAINE, under the assumed name of OLnys, a name well known to the Literati of this country. Scotland, of which he was a native, •has lost a great and active friend in Mr. CHAL- M ERS, as ..he was anxious to do honour to her ()n ail occasions. His Caledonia, of which three, large quarto volumes have been published, con- tains the most valuable information respecting' that country; and a fourth, which was nearlf ready for the Press, would have completed that extraordinary proof of elaborate research and mitigable ardour in pursuit of knowledge. He.hid' prepared materials for a Life of his countryman TnomsoN the Poet, which would have contained much novel and interesting information respecting the History of the Author of those SEASONS which will live as long as the EARTH. Mr. CHA in person, was tall, stout, and manly, so nearly resembling the late Lord - MELVILLE, that they were often taken for each other. The writer, of this humble tribute to his memory had the. sure of passing a few hours with hitiLa very few days before his death, .and never found ldm in better spirits, or more likely, for a long ttrac, notwithstanding his advanced age,- to spare his friends the regret of losing so valuable.a . mernbei of society.

The fol lowing-is Mr. Graham's- account .:—" The-.process of inflation being, as far as was practicable, completed. and the car attached, I deposited the necessary instruments for experimental informa tion in the car,amongwhich were some .of a perfectly novel kind, made u elder my, directions, by Mr. Bancks, ofthe Strand. .When 4. • . the Captain was seated, I discovered that - the - quantity o f gas was inSafficiezit to' raise us both with the other weighty appendages, and 1 was -reluctantly compelled to remove the whole of the instruments, with tfie exception of the mountain barometer and cork'brilinae.' I was even obliged'to leave the= grappling - iron below. In -this situation the balloon left the platform, and,took a directioato the . S.W., barometer being 2,9. 7. The intervening aouds ho the rays Of the sun on the machine, and the gas becaM6 so much condensed, as to cause, in a short time, a 'partial- descent. Having neither grappling iron nor ballast,- I was, of course, very desirous to avoid a descent —at alreirent; ; until I had cleared the hletropolis, and we the:efore eiriptled our pockets of our money, and every thing of the Jel§t.sceight. -I also threw my cap and my companion's hat, and soon, afterwards ; released a carrier Pigeon.. were . st 11 grieliill2 . deseending, and I ht length thre* Out our only bottle of- brandy. • --We were new over the Thames, , anti watch ing the motion of the water, I saw when the bottle reaches it, and almost immediately after I heard a report sithilat to that :of a pisteil..NiThis I attribute to the principle of- all fluids dergoing different degrees of expansion - at gre a t Aotiloes, so nivh so'us pt times to force out the cork of the bottle; and the •i6roaiiy - eif the descent not giving time for the field to contract, the bottle doubtless - burst on coming., to the. Water. Not withstanding the loss of every portable article, we were unable tii'Yegain an ascending power; and I therefore cleenied it ad- Cisable, in order to ensure a safe descentoo make the balloon form -itself into a parachute. This being done, We descended in sonic gardens at Chelsea. I immediately requ es t e d tarn Capes Capes to step - out of the car, - he r eluctantly .complteel, ,being extremely desirous of re...ascending alone, 1% however, observed, that there was a great difference between milutical and aerial navigatiOn, and so well rkillediik he might 'be in-the former, I would not trust him, at.the latter.. -I then desired some persons who had come to our assistance to let ,o the car, which they did, and the balloOn rose With great rapi dity, passing through several strata of clouds, and in three minutes I attained my greatest altitude. The barometer at that time was 16-7, and I calculate I was about three miles Ctnil a quarter distant from the earth; and 'I -here felt a , tempo rary difficulty of respiration, and an expansion of the blood vessels. In this situation I tried the experiment of the 'cork -- balance, as described by Sir Isaac Newton, ; and found a great inclination in favour of the cork. This experiment I wished to - have continued during the desCent, but the gas which ' escaped from the valve, so sensibly afrected•rne; that I- was un able. After being in the air one hour ?,nd i flfty-six minutes, 'descended safely in a clover field belonging to Mr. Atkinson, at Morden, in the County of SUrrey; This . gentleman, - with se veral other persons, assisted me in packing the . balloon, and conveying it to the house of Mrs. Ridge, of Morden Park, by whom I was entertained with genuine English I arrived in London at l l o'clock-the same night. It is my in tention to ascend from Greenwich on Monday night, . G. GRARAM."
