" PARIS, Arun. 17. " Charles, by the Grace of God, King of France and Nalarie. " To all to whom these presents shall come, greeting. " Considering Articles 14 and '73 of the Charter, desiring to provide for what is called for by the interests of the French merchants, the misfortunes of the ancient colonies of St. Do riingo., and the precarious situation of the present inhabitants of that island ; " We have ordained and ordain as follows: " A. 1. The ports of the French part of St. Domingo are open to the commerce of all nations. " The duties levied in the ports, either upon vessels or mer chandise, whether entering or going out, shall be equal and unifcirm for all flags except for the French flag, in favour of which these duties shall be reduced one-half. " 2. The present inhabitants of the French part of St. Do- roingo shall pay into the Cram! generale des Depots et des Con- 1 rignation.l of France, in five equal instalments, from year to year, the first of which will become due on the 31st December, 1825, the sum of 150,000 of francs, destined to indemnify the ancient colonists who shall claim an indemnity. " 3. We grant, on these conditions, by the present ordinance to the actual inhabitants of the French port of the island of St. Domingo, the full and entire independence of their Go vernment. " The present Ordinance shall be sealed with the great seal. " Given at Paris, at the Palace of the Tuileries, the 17th of April, the year of grace 1825, and in the first of our reign. " By the King, " CHARLES. " The Peer of France, 31inister Secretary of State for the Department of Marine and Colonies, " Sealed, " Count de CHABROL. •:" The Keeper of the Seals of France, Minister Secretary of State for the Department of Justice, • " Countersigned, " Count de PEYRONNET. " The President of the Council of Ministers, " 1%1. DE VILLELE." , [Here follows the telegraphic dispatch from Brest, as already given in the Etoile.] The following is added : " N. B. Notice of the above dispatch has been immediately forwarded to all the ports of France, as well by the telegraph -as by extraordinary courier." ( From the Etoile, dated Saturday, Aug. 13.) " PARIS, AIrG. 12. " A journal had announced that France was negociating with St. Domingo, and even went so far as to speak of the stipula tions of a pretended treaty of the French Government with the Government of Hayti. We protest against such a supposition, not that we then knew the secret of the Councils, but because we had faith in the policy of the King of France. The ordi nance which we publish above, completely answers our expec tations. It is full of that dignity which legitimate royalty knows how to impress on all its acts. After thirty-three years' sepa- • ration, during which all the principles the most opposed to le- • gitimacy, the most subversive of social order, have been loudly professed, and even had hu. a moment the eclat of triumph, the King of France, using the toll exercise of his legitimate sove reignty over one of his colonies, opens the posts of St. Domingo to the commerce of all nations, and fixes the tariff of duties, for all flags, reducing by half those which the commerce of France shall henceforth pay. "The Monarch, who has just closed the last wounds of the revolution by indemnifying the emigrants, could not forget one of the greatest misfortunes produced by it, and unfortunate colonists, who for 33 many years had lost even hope, are going to find the resources which the wisdom of the King has just created for them. 64 It was calculated that the revenue of the colonists was 30 millions. Deducting the half for the expences of cultivation, there retrains 15 millions. The 150 millions which the King has decided that the inhabitants of St. Domingo shall pay into the Ccisse des Depots, make, therefore, 10 years of the revenue of the ancient colonists ; and landed. property sells at no higher price throughout the Antilles. All the efforts of Buonaparte had failed in an enterprise, the advantages of which, even after having succeeded, could not he equivalent to what some words of the king have produced. It is with respect and gratitude that the inhabitants of the French part of St. Domingo hove received the orders of their King, and it is not till after this act of submission, this recog nition of the Sovereignty of France, that the King has conceded to St. Domingo the independence of its Government. Who, teen, would not have faith in the fortune of France confided to to the descendants of Henry IV. ? When a people is in order, all increases and develops itself for it. Legitimacy is always a principle of life and liberty for nations. Revolution is death."

Mr- CARRINGTON opened the pleadings. Mr. CuItWOOD stated that the plaintiffhad been in an hum ble situation in life, but by industry, and some bequests from relations, he had got into the possession of about 3 , 000 /. In the year 11114 he applied to the defendant, who was an Attor carryiug on business at Dursloy, to invest it in freehold security. The defendant at first proposed to lend it on two fac tories, but the plaintiffrefused to lend it on any thing but land, and the defendant said it should be lent to two gentlemen named Olive, who lived near Gloucester; and subsequently the plain tiff-met these gentlemen at the defendant's house. The 3,000/. was advanced on a warrant oi - attorney.. The plaintiff objeeted to this, and he was told he should have a mortgage in a few weeks. After a lapse of sixteen months the mortgage deeds were sent him, and for some years the interest was regularly paid, but in 189 one of the borrowers became bankrupt and died, and it was discovered that a great part of the lands on which the plaintiff had this mortgage were in fact not the lands' of the borrowers of the money, but of other persons not at all concerned in the transaction, and therefore the mortgage was as to all these lands a mere nothing. This it was the defendant's duty to have looked into. By this neglect the plaintiff' was reduced from what in his situation was affluence to comparative ' poverty, Hesther Woodward, the daughter of the plaintilf, proved the facts stated relative to the advance of the money. Mr. Henry Young; the defendant's sod, who was at that time • hie clerk, anti since that his partner, was also called. His evi dence was a good-deal different from that of the former, witness, he stating that the plaintiff showed great eagerness to lend the money, and would not have taken even the warrant of attorney, if it had not been insisted by tire defendant that he should do so till some other security could be prepared. Mr. Justice Btrurtouout intimated that the statute of limi tations, which had been pleaded by the defendant, was a bar to , . the action, as tile transaction took place more than six years ago; but at the instance-of Mr. Curweod his Lordship said he would allow the case to proceed, giving that, gentleman leave to make an application to the Court above. Bvidence was then addlic,el at great length to chew that the lands mortgaged at this time to the plaintiff were then the pro perty of other persons. and that therefore the security on these lands was of no value to the plaintiff; and it also appeared that those lands had belonged to the father of the borrower of the money, and that when he sold them to the subsequent owners, they allowed him to remain the .ostensible owner, by leaving him in possession of the lands, and of the title-deeds under which he and his ancestors land purchased them. Mr. TAUNTON, for the defendant, said that upon the evi dehee, so far from the defendant being a party to any imposi tion on the plaintiff, he had ueed his endeavours to check the plaintiff; over a confidence in the Messrs. Olive, the borrowers. of the money; for that if it had not been for hint, the plaintiff would have lent the money without any security at all ; and as the persons who had bought the lands of the father of Messrs. Olive had allowed them to remain the ostensible owners, no care on the part of the defendant could have prevented the injury to the 'plaintiff: • Mr. Justice BtrttuoUGlt gave it as his opinion that the de fendant had acted fairly towards the plaintiff, and directed the Jury to find for the defendant. • The Jury after a few minutes' deliberation, found a verdict - for the defendant BRIDGEWATER, AUG. 12. ER EA GU OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. WILMOT v. RI(UFORD. The defendatit pleaded the general issue. Mr. Serjeant PELT. (with i-hom was Mr. Serjeant Wilde) stated the case to the Jury. It must be alloved that actious such as the present are not very agreeable in their nature to either of the parties interested in their event. The present action was one of this description, which a young lady had been obliged to commence against the defendant, in consequence of his refusing to make good an engagement which he had entered into to marry the plaintiff, a young lady now about 23 or 24 years of age, and of consider able personal attractions. The young, lady, the plaintiff in this action, was the daughter of a highly respectable gentle man, and the defendant was a farmer of considerable property, two or three years older. It appeared to be in every respect a suitable match, and, all things considered, the defendant seemed to be a person calculated, in the event of their union, to make the plaintiff happy. At the very moment, however, when the defendant, after havinc , raised the fondest expectations of his client, • was feeding her hopes with the prospect of the speedy fulfilment of his promises, he had actually paid his addresses to another lady, and was leading this other individual to enter tain hopes which were, in their turn, also doomed to be disap pointed. He relied principally upon the defendant's letters to explain to the Jury the manner in which the acquaintance be tween the parties had originated, continued, and been carried on. The first was one dated 22d April, 11122 ; and is it the de fendant announced. the nature of his intentions, towards the plaintiff. It. was as follows Hill Farm, April 22, 1822. " My dear Friend—The --p,leasures of friendship are little known by a greedy"—{ Here, said the Learned Sergeant, the expression seems somewhat odd, but as 1 find it in the letter I must read it to you. I thought at first the word might have been "giddy.' and the expression which immediately follows tended to confirm me in my opinion. But on closer examina tion it seems to be spelled greedy," and lam bound to take that to be the word.l Mr. C. F. WILLIAMS intimated that in his opinion the word was intended for giddy, but the defendant, who appeared to dis regard the pedantic trammels of orthography, spelled it_ giddy, which, frqm the carelessness'of the penmanship, strongly re sembled gi eedy. Mr. Sergeant PELL—The letters were all couched the language of passion, a language not very intelligible to 'other than the parties more immediately concerned. They might be supposed to be capable of understanding it, simply because they were lovers, but the greater part of those epistles must be nearly unintelligible lo himself, or even to his Learned Friend on the other side (Mr. Merewether), although they, too, in their time, had been lovers. But he would not trifle any longer with the im patience of the Jury, who must be quite on edge to hear the remainder of an epistle the commencement of which promised so well. Well then— " The pleasures of friendship are little known by a greedy un thinking world. I receive more pleasure in writing to you than I do any one else, for the pleasure I enjoy in your company both carom: to make me your sincerest friend. Nothing will give me so much pleasure as to hear from yourself that you are well, and can I say happy ? If you are not happy lam not so. Your beauty and accomplishments have captivated my heart, whilst I avow myself to become your true and-sincere friend. I would not, my dear Caroline, offer any direct address that should have the least inconsistency with your duty to your parents, and this rather emboldens me to request the favour of an evening's con versation at your first convenience, when I'll more fully explain myself; as I earnestly hope to your satisfaction. An answer to this by the bearer, E. Brufiird, will infinite oblige—then let me now conclude in hopes of meeting your ap probation. " Your aflectionate and sincere friend, " RICIIARD From the tenor of this letter and the mystical word "corona" in the commencement of it, which it was to be supposed was a slight transformation for crowns (and very indifferent sense .it would still make, if that conjectural reading were true), it would seem as if this love=sick shepherd felt the sentiment of the poet, when he said that— " Love was the top and crcraln of our affections I" That was good ! and the request for an evening's chat was still better ! Evening was your only time for love, particularly if it was moonlight ! Let the moon be bright or clowded ; if the latter it was all the better. Well, there was a good deal of ground to be passed over, so he most reluctantly leaves this epistolary gem as other pearls of equal value remained to be disposed of The next he would react to the Jury was a diamond of the first water. It was dated about four months after the last, and from him it would appear that the lover and his love had unfortunately disagreed about some trifling affair or other —some of those slight clouds that occasionally overcast the amatory horizon and the letter appeared to be written for the purpose of effecting a reconciliation. Perhaps. Mr. Bruford had perpetrated some sin of omission or commission, or uttered some unconsidered trifle, for which he thought it necessary to offer the following atonement. Here it was - " West alonkton, Aug. 13, 1822. " Dearest Caroline-1 have taken my pen in hand to write to my dear girl, to entreat - oit her friendship topardon me for addressing her as I did on Saturday lash But after hearing what I did, as I informed - you, I thought it prtident to know' each other's determination ; but not finding you will comply with my request, I shall not question you again on that sub ject. Certainly I shall not wish you to refrain from speak ing to any young man. Had I not a particular regard for you, I should not have paid you the respect and attention I have at all times whenever .I have had the pleasure of being with you. _Although you may not believe it, I cannot help saying I felt much hurt and disappointed in not having the pleasure of your company or seeing you en Sunday last. E. 8., with myself, certainly had promised ourselves a wride, but how could I have enjoyed' it without you. We have now pOstponed the stride for Sunday week next. In case it meet your approbation to join with us on Sunday next, we shall expect to see you at our house, where I hope to meet you, my dear girl, in better spirits than when I saw you last: Mrs. Hickman was at our house on Tuesday last,who informed me that you were gone with some other person to Enmere, to see the grand performance which was to take place. I instantly took my horse, and erode down. I saw your brother James, who informed roe you was not there. I then was satisfied with the propriety of your conduct towards me' in not going,without my knowledge, as I should have been happy to have escorted you there. 1 must now conclude, in hopes of receiving a letter from you by the bearer. " I remain, dear (iaroline, your ever true and sincere friend, " RICHARD BRUFORD." The same kind of correspondence was kept up on the part of the defendant for some months longer, and he even went so far as to make inquiries as to the amount of Miss Wilmont's for tune, which he was given to understand by the young lady's mother was 500/. Sir. Bruford approved of the sum, and ex pressed his determination to accept it and her daughter's hand.; hoWevef,' on the 9th August, he broke off the match. The following witnesses were called for the plaintiff:— Mrs. Martha Wilmot—l am mother of the pliintiff, and am acquainted with Mr. Bruford, the defendant. He resided at our house in 1822. At the coramencement, the defendant's ac quaintance with my daughter did not receive my approbation. 1 recollect afterwards having conversations with him respect ing his intentions towards my daughter. I remember the Somerset Assizes of 1823; about that time I had a particular conversation with the defendant on the same subject. Thecon versation occurred at my own house. I had been here on busi ness, and defendant drove me home in his gig. It was on that occasion he spoke with me on the subject ot the marriage settle ments ; the conversation took place after tea. We had previously talked together about my daughter's fortune. Mr. Bruford proposed to settle 1,000/. on my daughter, and wished me to select the attorney who was to draw up the marriage articles. I mentioned my own solicitor, who lived at Ilchester, and as de fendant thought that too far for him, he proposed to choose some attorney perfectly indifferent to both parties, and who should know nothing of either family. Defendant asked me to what I intended to give my daughter ? I replied 5001. on the day of her marriage. He was aware of my intentions as to my daughter's fortune before we spoke of the zettlement. On that occasion I repeated what I had previously said, and lie approved of it. De fendant remarked, when talking of the settlement he intended to make, that, if I entertained any doubts as to his ability to make it, I might go to his attorney, Mr. Kingley, who he said was well acquainted with his affairs, and would satisfy me on that point. I declined doing so, at the same time saying that I did not think it necessary, as I saw no reason to doubt of his repre sentations. This conversation took place on Thursday Aug. 7, and defendant appointed the following Saturday, at II o'clock, as the day for concluding the settlement. Sir. Bruford had visited my daughter nearly two years ; he visited her almost a year before marriage was talked of. At that time 1 lived at Welton, not far from Taunton. On the Saturday appointed for the settlement, defendant did not come: Mr. Bruford never entered my door afterwards. Sly f a mily consists of eight children. Sira Henry Blatchford Shillibeare—l have known the plain tiff-since her childhood and she is now twen t y -five y ears of - age. I resided a t Taunton in i 822. Miss Wihnont and Mr. Bruford visited together at my house, and I always considered - them as lovers, because they acted as such. In the earlier part of 1823 I converse d wi th Mr.. Bruford respecting his marriage with th e gaged to Marry h er , an d th a t her mother, M W rs. ilmont, Plaintiff- He info rmed me he was en hatl undertaken to give Caroline 5001. Ile said he intended making 4 handsome settlement on her out of his own pro ' party ; and asked me if I thought Sirs. Wilmant had the power to advance the 5001. under the father's will. Sly reply to this question was, "Mrs. IVilmot was a person of consider able property; but I did not know the particulars of the will to which he alluded." I asked the defendant what dim was fixed for die wedding, and he told me lie should let me know, as I was to be present on the occasion. Mr. AIL REWETHER addrei:sed the Ju r y for the defendant. Mr. Justice GASELEE charged the Jury, who retired, and after a - consultation of nearly two hours, returned a verdict for the plaintiff —Damages, 5501. The accounts:lately received from Greece have turned . the public attention to the transactions now passing there, but they are so confused and contradictory, that it is difficult to draw from thein a result which can at all lead us to t correct con clusion as to the relative advantages or disadvart tages..of the contending parties. The last intel ligence, received freal the Morea detailing the progress of the war, is perfectly irreconcileable with the fundamental principles of scientific war fare. By these accounts 11AssAm BEY is represented as traversing the sea between Soda and Modon, and landing live thousand Albanian troops, in order to reinforce the army under the command of I.l3RAmm PACHA, who is now before Napoli• de Romania. The SERASKIEtt is said, to be laying siege to Missolonghi, in Livadia. The CAPITA N PACHA and the Turkish fleet are off Modon. To these accounts we may add, the intelligence receiver: to-day., viz, that IBRAHIM'S attack upon . Napoli had been unsuccessful, and that CoLo- COTKONI With leis forces (Which were daily aug mented) was in his rear at Calavrita. This critical situation of affairs in Greece, may, we think, he fully relied -upon. But in order to enable our Readers to form a better judgment upon this important subject, we have (a map under the circumstances being out 'of the question) drawn up the following plan, which gives a pretty accurate idea of the relative position of the different towns named there : Salor.a 0 Missolonghi Patracs Calavrita (where Ctsocotroni now is) Athens 0 Corinth 0 A rgos Tripolizza I (where brahim T''agia Napoli de Navarro Romania now is) Modon o Calarnata Colon 0 Cape 112 atapan All these places, except Saloon, Calavritn, Tripolizza, Tegia, and Argos, are upon the coast. Soda, and Canea, where IlAssAm !3E now is, are in the Is►and of Candia, which lies south-east of Cape Matapan. We are told that supplies, munitions, and re inforcements for I BRAIIIM, are sent from Soda in Candia to Motion, whence they are transported by land across the Morea from the south-west corner to the north-east, along a line of operation of at least 120 miles. Let us, en passant, ask why the Turkish naval force might not co-operate with the land forces under luttantm, against Napoli, rather than be employed in landing troops at Modon, a plan evhich renders so ex tended a line of operations necessary, and wl►ich must greatly weaken the disposable force of the Turkish General. It also lays him open to be intercepted and surrounded by the Greek Army, an event, indeed, which subsequent accounts in form us has occurred, and which appears extremely probable. There does not appear to be any fortress between Modon and Tripolizza through which a sure communication between those places could be kept up. Accustomed as we have been for '25 years to read of the most methodical and scientific movements, and military combinations, we are quite lost at this careless advance of the Turks. From this circumstance, however, we draw our consolation, and cannot but hope the obvious measure thus suggested will be adopted by Co- LocoTitoNt, that be will throw himself across the line of operations of the Turkish General, and thus endeavour to compel hin► to ad vance upon Napoli. If IBRAHIM is driven to this alternative, his destruction is sure, for with the forces at Napoli before him, and those under COLOCOTRONI in his rear, it is scarcely possible for him - to escape.— The truth of his capture upon this view of the subject appears probable enough, especially since it is now alleged it took place at Corinth. For it may easily be supposed that lattAntm, finding himself pressed by the Greek army, would endeavour to effect a junction with the SERAMIEIt before Missolonghi, his retreat upon Modon being cut off. Corinth lies in the road he must in such case have taken, in order to pass from the Tklorea, by the Isthmus, into Livadia, to join•liis companion in arms. - The Frankfort Papers to the Sth August have arrived,and furnish us with accounts from Greece. On the 30th July, the advance of IBRAHIM PacHA upon Tripolizza and Argos, and the sub sequent occupation of those towns was officially announced at Constantinople. It was also con ceived there that the reduction of Napoli would speedily follow, and thus terminate the contest in Greece. The failure, however, of InitAnim's attack upon that place, and his retreat to Tripo litza, was not then known in Constantinople. By Consular accounts, of the 23d and 25th of June, Cor.ocoTnorn had retired upon Calavrita as IBRAHIM advanced to Tripolitza, and was at tacked there by the Turkish General, who, it seems, was repulsed with great loss. The Greek army, since then, is daily receiving those rein forcements so essential to meet the crisis which awaits them, and must endln the total destruction of the Egyptian forces, or annihilate the hopes of Greece and the christian world. In the mean time the report of the capture of fuitAnint is repeated in accounts from Trieste of the 28th July, with the addition that he was taken at Corinth,and that his army was entirely destroyed. This, however, is denied in a letter from Venice, dat( 3d Aug. This letter says, that accounts from Constanti nople up to the 20th of July, have been received here by express, which do not say a word of this event. lenAnimPAcHA,according to these accounts, had made an attempt on the mills near Napoli di Romania, which seems to have failed, on which he retreated to Tripolizza, the centre of his ope rations. By the same opportunity we received the news of the death of Ooysstus. lie is stated to have fallen from a tower (perhaps he was thrown from it by order of Goun.A), and his brother-in-law TaELAwNY, the Englishman, is said to have been found shot at the same time. Letters this mcnnent (two o'clock) received from Corfu, of the 13th July, and from Zante of the 7th ditto, confirm, in every respect, the de feat of I;;►LAIIIM PACHA, and of his being %vound ed, hut not captured. The contents of the French Journals of Friday will he found in another column. They are chiefly occupied with the KING'S Ordinance for the Recognition of the Independence of Hayti, and the disposition of the equivalent paid by the Republic for the renouncement of the Sovereignty of France over that Island, and some remarks upon it from the Etoile. These Papers al l so con tain an, extract from a Private Letter from Port Louis, in the Isle of France, referring to the war in India with the Burmese, which, for falsehoods and gross misrepresentat►ons of affairs there, has been rarely, if ever, equalled. It is too ab surd to be worthy of further remark. Quebec Papers to the 15th July, and Mon treal to the I 7th, are arrived. (From the Quebec Paper of the 14th July.) The arrival at this port of two ships from China forms a re spectable epoch in the annals of Canadian commerce. The lloffat and the Julian a are the 'first vessels that ever entered the St. Lawrence from the immense Continent of Asia. They sailed from London on the 12th August last, left Portsmouth on the 24th of that month, and arrived at Canton on the 24 th January. On the 24th February they sailed for Quebec, kept company 20 days, and separated 01T Java; met again off' the Cape of Good Hope, separated, and arrived the same day off St. Helena. After leaving that Island they did not see each oth er t ill t h e i r arrival at Quebec, within a tow hours of " each other, a most extraordinary proof of .good management. The space traversed by them in ten months has been about 38000 miles. The Moffat is about 800 tons; and the Juliana about 500 tons ; the former has 9,9.11 chests of tea, the latter 5,900; both vessels are in high order, and take car goes from hence to London. The amount of provincial duties on the teas brought by these vessels will be about 60,000 dollars. His Majesty's ship Orestes, arrived last Tuesday, has brought 30,600/. in English coin for the Commissariat Depart ment in the Canadas, which is to be issued in payment of the [military.

KING'S -THEATRE.—A very successful afa s ° ° concluded at thi, place on Saturday last with ti ie Opera of 11 Crociato iit Egitto, which, often ! le it has been performed, is on the whole so adnu r , able a composition that it lost none of its attr ac tion, and was in general so well supported as t ° do justice to the great musician who was the a u . • thor of the work. In justice to Mr. Cocas, It must be said that he supplied the best performer° for the Opera and the Ballet that could be p re' cured. We consider the introduction of VELtYrrt as a sacrifice to the fashionable world, but WI must necessarily regret that the fashionable world; in this country have not a better taste. The el: favourable reception which this singer met w tt on his first appearance was to be expected - ft pa) the manly feelings of this country, and though we pity the individual who suffered on the occasi ol4 we hope it will have the effect of discourag i n g the introduction of similar performers on Englis h boards. This subject is treated with justi ce ,' candour, and humanity, in The Times of th° day. During the season, it is evident that expence has been spared to give security to t he house,' and to render the performances of t he first order. CARA DORI, Mademoiselle G4n gl4 % CU It 1 GNI, VELUTTI, and BEGREZ, all exert.% themselves very ably, and all were dismissed w i th applause.
