Dui - ing the- confusion. occasioned by that occurrence, seversd ntrangers got admission into the house, and some wearing apparel, as well as a few sovereigns, was missed, together with a curious old pocket. book, in which the testatrix kept her private papers, and which she always carried about with her. Sus picion fell upon the nurse. The testatrix had exe cuted a . will in 1796 ; the property she left was con siderable, the peisonalty amounting to 8,0001. Soinv months after her death, her executor, Mr. Jameson, received a letter, with the London post-mail, of which as a literary curiosity, an exact copy is sub joined.:----" Sir, i am the person who from tierce) take the two sovreins i found at Mrs. Ellison's house, also thipaper, but cannot get no rest; the sovrins is gone, and i hope you'll forgive that, but this paper sentalong way of,because she durst give it you for fear. Hoppin all is right, and no person to take harm, i shall hear on it from your humble servant, I shall never do . so no more, don't tell Mrs. Robinson. — .September 3,182 G." In this letter was enclosed a scrap . of dirty paper, in which was written, in pencil, the codicil now propounded, which hid ori ginally commenced as a letter to the confidential so licitor .of .• the .testatrix :—" Mr. Wetherby — Sir." This had been e rased, and the deceased declared that she left ker . hOuse at York, and her money in the funds, between Mrs. Cook, of Great liaddow ; Mr. Edward Ball, of Stamford-street, London ; Mrs. Watkinson, cf Burwell ; Mrs. Warn, Mrs. Nunn (if living). The paper was dated " York, August 3, 1824." The COURT, , after hearing the arguments of no less than sixl earned advocates engaged in the cause, rejected the paper, which it held to be impossible to regard as a testamentary document, and decreed probate to the will of 1796. SMITH V. BLAKE. Dr. DODSON moved the Court on behalf of Ge neral Robert Lindley Blake, the defendant in this suit, to rescind the conclusion of the cause, and to admit his allegation. The defendant was a legatee to the amount of 6000/. under a will of the late dow ager Lady Blake, who died the 13th of March last, leaving property to the amount of 16,000/. General Blake sought to set aside this will, propounded by the Rev. Hugh Smith, the executor, in favour of a former will, which cause was to come on to-day. The I earned Counsel read an affidavit from General Blake in support of the application. Dr. LlifilllNGTOti opposed the motion. Sir J. NICHOLL said that it would be contrary to justice, aud a great oppression to the other party, to comply with this motion ; he must reject it, and proceed w pronounce sentence in the cause. The Learned Judge saw no reason to doubt the validity of the will propounded, and pronounced for it ac cordingly. - PALACE COURT, Nov. 23 DOBELL V. JONES. 'This :was an action brought by the plaintiff, a linen-drener, upon a bill of exc han g e for 15/. 6's. 7d., g iven by defendant, as a security for the payment of that sum, contracted for goods sold and delivered. Mr. Ross conducted the case on behalf of the plaintiff. The defendant had been sedticed from her parents, by a person representing himself as Captain Moore, about two years back, she being then about sixteen years of age, and lived with him, for about twelve mon ths in Milford-place, Edgeware-road, during which time she was introduced by a respectable person, and dealt with the plaintiff. During her stay at Milford-place, she paid her bills : subsequently, from some alteration of circumstances, she removed to the house of a Mrs. Timberlake, in York-place, 33ryanston-square, occupying her .first floor, where she received the visits of more than one gentleman, and where the present debt was contracted. Mr. FLANNAGAN contended that the. defendant wa., not liable. Ms: Learned J:_tspE observed, that Lord Kenyon h a d d e ci,ded, in a case wbere,a minor, taking up his residence at an hotel, contracted a debt for a suit of clothes with a tailor, who afterwards brought his action, but was nonsuited, "it was not necessaries which could be recovered for, unless it could clearly be shown that they were supplied upon the consent or sanction .of the persons having the paternal cus tody or control of the eninor." .

(From the Courier Francais.) EVENTS OF NOVEMBER 19TH. PARIS, Nov. 21.—The day before yesterday rue Saint Denia was brilliantly illuminated, and a great crowd was walking backward and forward. A number of individuals, principally children, let off some fire-works, and sonic others threw mud and stones against houses that were not illuminated. The gendarmes on horseback interfered to put a stop to the fire-works and to disperse groupes people, and the summonses made by the officers were im mediately followed by charging the people, and giving them blows with their sabres. Every thing, howevee, was peaceable till half-past ten o'clock, when the charges made by the gendarmes ,became more frequent, and then the people began to resist. The gendarmes then retreated, and a great number of common people and workmen, car rying off the scaffolding of sonic buildings now construct ing, began to form some barriers between the rue Gre • neta and the rue aux Ours. They were not inter rupted in any manner in the work, and entrenched behind these barricades, as well as in a house-building in the rue della Truanderie ; and in that street which is to form a new passage parallel to the rue du Petit-Ifurleor, they threw showers of stones on the gendarmes when they came near. The troops of the line, and the infantry of the genolarmes placed in the neighbourhood, were then brought to the spot. A column debauched by the rue Grenata, and a summons on the part of the officer who commanded it was instantly followed by a discharge of musketry ; at the second charge the barricade was eva cuated. The column advanced, firing at the ends of the streets by which they passed. Five platoon discharges took place. These unhappy scenes continued till past mid night. We can easily imagine all the misfortunes which resulted from a fire of musketry, directed against a closely pressed crowd, who had not space to retreat or escape hoot death. The horror that we feel at the view of so mach bloodshed, when it would have been so easy to prevent it, hardly permits usto discuss with calmness the questions to which these terrific scenes give rise. The Police forbade to tire squibs. Those who broke this prohibition committed a punishable act; but these de monstrations have become a custom among us, which the Police has tolerated and encouraged on all occasions when it wished that the public joy should be made manifest. The violence employed to make some of the inhabitants illumi !late, is not only a violation of the laws, but a serious in - ferruption of public order. It is a baseness. It is revolt ing- to see a great crowd assail the house of some peaceable individual, who has a right not to rejoice at an event which is not what he wishes. This conduct is so much the less excusable, as the public authority, which has set so many had examples, cannot be reproached with having set example of this kind. It allows the citizens not to illuminate on festival days, and they have certainly made a conspicuous use of this privilege. What sort of an ap pearance would Paris have made if all the windows had been broken of the houses not illuminated last Cith of Nov. ? Brit if these culpable acts were committed, were they of so serious a nature that they authorised the deplorable mea sures to which recourse was bad? Can contravening so order of the Police be considered a capital crime ? The persons who fired o 3 squibs incurred a Police penalty— those who broke windows a correctional punishment; and they have been sabred, shot, and punished with death ! The Magistracy has traced the route to be followed in such circumstances. It was decided in the judgment on the effair of the funeral of M. Manuel, that there was no occa sion to employ force against those ,who only contravene the iegulations of the Police. The Police is not deficient to discover and as rest the instigators—to draw up acts of ac cusation, and prosecute those who have been guilty of crimes. M. Delavau, in spite of this lesson, found it a shorter method to bring au armed force into action, which irritating the people by its interference, and irritated by the resistance it experienced, soon transformed a trifling tumult into a scene of carnage. The law orders that seditious groups shall be dispersed by force ; but is there any sedition in letting off squibs and breaking windows? Since the 13th Vendemiaire, there have been many seditions, many tumults in Paris ; but this is the first time that musketry has sounded its mur derous intimations. Melancholy and evil thought ! Then the Government defended its existence against the armed section, formed in coluMns of attack, with all the imple ments of war; now the Government represses disorders committed by groups rejoicing in the result of elections, end having stones for their only weapons. It was Mon day, a day when intoxication► is not rare among the people; it was the hour when the drinkers were returning home— circumstances known to the police, and which ought to have rendered it more indulgent. Let the situations and the circumstances, and the measures employed be com pared, and it will be seen which—the Revolutionary Go vernment, or the Government of MM. de Villele, Tronchet, and Delivau—has shewn itself most gratuitously prodigal of the blood of the citizens. A great multitude collected yesterday in the rue Saint Denis, looking with consternation at the traces of the battle of the night before; the walls and windows marked with balls ; the number of the wounded and killed were men tioned, and the people inquired if there had been a revolt and a revolution. Alas! there was an illumination, a few squibs, and a few broken windows—and for this blood was shed. We shall see how the public authorities will explain these events, and if they will deplore the miseries brought on by a repressive force, so out of proportion to the crimes committed. If the Ministers seek to profit by this blood shed, and cry out "a revolution !"—if they tell the electors of the great colleges they must vote for them because French citizens have perished by the hands of Frenchmen; then every thing will be explained—then we shall under stand how these unhappy scenes may serve to re-awaken absurd terrors, and justify striking a blow, according to the 14th Article of the Charter. We can only judge of the events of November 19th by the language of authority in describing-its causes. The scenes; of the 19th were renewed yesterday with ,ziore mischief, and under circumstances more significant. Croscds •of tumultuous ragged people traversed the streets of St. ii!artin and St. Denis, throwing stones against the windows, and calling out, " lights, lights." The inha bitants, intientie.lated, obeyed. The mob then traversed rues St. Honore Grenelle, du Bouloi, Croix-de-Petits- Champs, committing the same excesses. Serious quarrels occurred in many places between the mob and the in habitants, but the latter were not supported by the Armed force. The Guard National would have promptly repressed such disorders. The armed force, attacked on the boule vards; began at a fate hour to act, and then the fire of the infantry carried death among the groups collected in rue St. Denis. We will not afflict our readers by the descrip tion of the melancholy ecenes, before we have 'ascertained the particulars. We have heard, that in consequence of a letter of M. Jussieu, the Council of Prefkture has issued a Decree, erasing General Paultre de .Lamotte from the list of Elec tors. The General is Commander-in -Chief of the De partment of du Nord, and President of the Electoral Col lege. If this is not forbidden by the law, it is at least improper to appoint him President of a College in a town where he commands the troops. The Bishop of ;Marseilles has eoLlected all his Clergy to Tr - (From the Journal des Debate.) Pssts,Noy. 21.—Towards ten o'clock in the evening a report was spread that musketry was firing in the rue St. Denis, whicla lasted till midnight. The troops are drawn up in military order in our neighbourhood—more we know not, but we know that melancholy sentiments MI all hearts. It is impossible 40t to recollect that on the day of the famous review of the National Guard, the troops were collected iu the square, and drawn up in order of battle behind yallisedoes, and were provided with a formi dable train of artillery; it was unnecessary to terrify the Monarch with the idea of horrible dangers. The Ministers are now in danger—the Opposition have a legitimate hope. The garrison of Paris is placed under arms—blood is shed, and the Minister fights in rue St. Denis his battle of -Na yarit'. We know who will profit by these scenes, whoever may have caused them. The Ministerial Journals warn the electors of the departments that the revolutionary party celebrated the victories of the Char ter with cries of " Yiye l'Empereur !" There is a pro digious deal of impudence in defaming the Electoral Colleges of France, imputing to those who voted for the Ministers four years ago, and now vote against them—and who constitute 80,000 of the richest men in the kingdom— a conspiracy to overturn our Constitution. Every thing which passes confirms what we have long ago said ; viz.— thit the Ministry, in contending against the reprobation which justly weighs on them, has compromised every thing, and will put every thing to hazard. To remain in office a little longer, they have in four years sacrificed the Na tional Guard, the liberty pf the Press, the Chamber of Peers. It has deprived Royalty of the rampart, which it would have found in a case of necessity, in the considera ticn acquired by the Upper Chamber on account of its pru deice. Who can new tell what . other institutions they wit sacrifice before their own altars? !We learn from Arras, that the success of the Opposition at the College of the Department is certain. M. Capet Lecquet, former President of the Tribunal of Commerce, ihe Constitntional Candidate. M. Hark, who wee the other Candidate at the College of the Arrondissement, and in favour of whom M. Capet Loequet had resigned, has di rected to the support of the latter, his relative and friend, all his vote,,. (From the Constitutionne/ of Wednesday.) Pants, Nov. 20.—The Meniteur said some days since. " In England the time of elections is marked by violence and excesses, during which the laws seem to sleep. This disorder does not suit our manners." No, but the loud de monstratione of joy, otherwise inoffensive shouts, illumi nations, end squibs, do suit French manners. That which does not suit the manners of any people, is the shootine add cutting down people assembled in the streets, sonic actors and others as spectators of the fete : it does not seir the atrocious manners of Spatris and Bostangis to kill flee , who are passing by, and fire on those who, from a curie , situ, look out of the windows to see what is doing in the street ; and to commit those acts of last night, which caused indignation in the most commercial and most popu lous part of Paris, in rue St. Denis, acid rue St. Martin. About ten o'clock last night, a group of about twenty or five-and-twenty ragged boys went from the Boulevard du Nord towards the Place de Vendome, bearing lighted torches. Tide group, followed by some curious per sons, stopped opposite the hotel of Count Peyronnet, raising cries, among which prevailed that of " Vice it Chartre," Almost at the same time about sixty gene d'armes, with sabree in their hands, came suddenly from the Courts of the Staff of the place, and rushed into the rue do la Paix, stopped the passage on that side, while the infantry also coining from the hotel of the Staff, in marching order, cut off the communication with rue Casti glione. Thus, snared like wild beasts, the passengers, to the number of 300 or 400, were pushed towards the hotel of the Staff, and brought before a Commissary of Police, who was installed in his office. Thus every one having beet' interrogated as to their namee, profession, and resi deuce, every one was obliged to say why, in proceedin g from rue St. Honor to go to the Boulevard, or from the Boulevard to go to rue St. flonor6, or rue Rivoli, he had dared to cruse the Place de Vendome. On the slightest hesitation or agitation shewn by them, which would be very natural, they were conducted into an upper apartment. We do net know the number of such, or what has been directed to be done with them. The others obtained permission to return home. Things were carried on in a more brutal and violent manner in the quarter of St. Denis. The persons who have witnessed these deplorable scenes assure ns that the half of those persons in the street were young artisans from 12 to, 15 years of age; that there were infants and women, among them there were blackguards, in rags, none of whom ap peared sufficiently rich to make such an expenditure. Who then furnished them with the means for that purpose? Among the crowd were some ill-looking fellows, with large parcels of fire-works, who called out continually, " Who wants squibs ?—let off the squibs !—rejoice at the election!" None of these persons have been arrested, though the Po lice were there in great numbers. But it was remarked, that by an inconceivable fatality, when the armed force ar rived, these persons had disappeared. Numerous parties of the Police had passed through the crowd with sufficient celerity to disturb the people; the carriages which came up, and which were kept back by the squibs, seem to have given some silly persons the idea of barricadoing the street. Accordingly, a barricade was formed, and from within it loud, shouts of joy, and bursts of laughter were heard. Towards half-past ten, some de tashmeuts of infantry anti of horse and foot gens d'armee, preceded by a drum, which beat a charge, appeared through rue Grenelat, and occupying the whole width of rue St. Denis, beat back every body to the barricades, which were overturned. Some accident must inevitably have occurred there, but as the barricades were almost immediately re stored, and the noise of crackers, laughter, and shouts soon recommenced, we may imagine they were neither very serious or very numerous. A second was made about half past eleven, and then several discharges of musketry, and a number of wounds of bayonets, sabres, anti swords on every side, produced a vast ntunber of deplorable events. The Cour Royale of the department of La Seyne has not allowed the crime of the Abbe Contrafatto to remain j without condemnation. The catastrophes of the 19th No- vember call more loudly fel• its attention and its severity. The system of provocation must have an end, and the agents of that atrocious system must cease to enjoy an odious impunity. To prevent disorder was the duty of the police, and to stop it in its course seemed an easy thing. We conjure all the citizens not to serve the projects of j their enemies, by giving rise to hypocritical complaints.— Let them cease every proof of joy, every illumination, and reserve them for the day of the Minister's fall—for the day when a Constitutional Minister shall knew all the respect he owes to the throne, and the indulgence be ought to extend to the ardour of public joy. A number of wretches, with candles and torches, ran through the streets on the night of the 20th armed with stones, and broke a great number of windows, under pre tence of forcing the inhabitants to light up their houses. We understand at the moment we supposed all agitation in the metropolis had ceased, large detachments of the line and horse and foot gem d'armes, proceeded to rue St. Tien's, and charged and fired on the citizens. The language of the Official Journal is quite changed ; those whom it rejected yesterday with proud disdain, whom it endeavoured to outrage with so much insolence, are to day in its eyes honest men, honourable people, devoted citi zens, Deputies worthy of the high mission they have just received. But those who have been elected by the nation repulse in their turn these tardy praises of the Ministers. LIES OF THE DAY.

SIR,—In your Paper of Tuesday the 20th inst., you have unwarrantably applied allegations, in a report of certain proceedings in the Vice-Chancellor's Court •on Monday, to the present state of the Leeds Intel ligencer. A little more attention to the cause in question, or a desire not to do a political opponent private Injury, would have enabled you to perceive that the statements made on Monday refer to the above in the years 1818, 1819, 1820 and 1821. We beg to inform you, that since the Leeds Intelligencer came into our hands it has progressively advanced in every respect, and can now boast 4 higher circulation than at any previous period since its establishment, while the success of the Paper, as a medium for advertising, is attested by the fact that in this day's number of the IntelAgencer there are nearly eleven columns of Advertisements. We request you, in justice to us, to give a place to this communication at the earliest opportunity.—We are, Sir, Your most obedient ..g.tr..ntls,„ ROBINSON and HERNAMAN, of the Leeds Intelligencer. Leeds, Nov. 22, 1817. Last night a grand performance of Sacred Music took place at Christ Church, Newgate-street, on the occasion of the opening of a new Organ, which was attended by the LOUD MAToit and the LADY MAYOSES3, an d a most numerous and highly respectable audience, the church being crowded to excess in every part. The performances were conducted by Messrs. S. Wrsi.Ev and hcoa ; th e vocal parts by amateurs belonging to the Cecilian Society. The choruses were numerous and complete, chiefly taken from the Oratorios of " Sampson" anti the " Messiah." The " Cuckoo and Nightingale" by Mr. S. JACOB, and the extemporaneous performances of Mr. S. Wastxv, f u lly proved the opinion entertained of the instrument being one of the finest in the metropolis. It was built by Mr. HILL of Tottenham-court-road. To the honour of virtue be it said, that a man's greatest misfortunes are generally occasioned by his crimes. Another Inquest was held at Guy's Hespital, on the body of WILLIAM CHAMBERLAIN, four years of age, who was left by himself in his parents: lodgings, in Vine-yard, Tooley-street, on Tuesday ; and in endeavour ing to get a potatoe out of the fire, was so dreadfully burned that he expired the following morning. Verdict—Acci dental Death. A case of parricide, as we have just learned, occurred in Letterkenny on Sunday week. The deceased's name was Boon *GRAN AGHA N-(he was town crier and bailiff of the manor)--his unnatural son's, K x NNEDY G RA NAGHA N. The former was much addicted to drink, and w as apt to quarrel with his family when in that state, and it was a fracas of this kind, which led to the unhappy re sult. The family thought to conceal the facts, and to have it believed that he died a natural death, but a woman named CATHERINE IC-EN l4 Env gave such information as led to a Magisterial investigation, when the truth was elicited. The son has absconded.—Derry Journal, kl; • *llllll/ LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 24, 1827. We are utterly at a loss in what manner to account for the non-arrival of intelligence from Constantinople, and still more so, if possible, for no additional advices having been received from Sir EDWARD CODRINOTON. According to every reasonable calculation, the account of the destruction of the Turkish Fleet would reach Constantinople by the 28th October ; but sup posing that it had not been received there till the 3(1 instant, still there is ample time since that date for the conveyance of despatches from either of the Ambassadors to Paris sr London. None of those impediments, however, which may possibly have occurred in the conveyance of despatches from Constantinople, can be sup posed to exist with respect to the receipt of further advices from Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON. For as his first despitches contained little -rnurrniail.ire account of "action, and events of the utmost importance to .the general question as affecting Greece, and tlie relations between Great Britain and Turkey, probably occurred immediately afterwards : aria as it ma y also have been of importance to „ tn . municate many circumstances relaii v e to the state of his squadron after the actic h ,- it cannot be supposed that Sir EDWARD did not send off further despatches to the Admiralty -y within three or four days subsequent to the data, of his former letters. Why those despatches have not been received, is, therefore, altogether unaccountable. Our extracts from the Paris Pap ers o f Wed nesday furnish many details of the uisturbances which have taken place in Paris. Tl.ey appear to have been solely the consequences\ which always ensue when large mobs, under.the,wi., ence of popular feelings, are collected , and li t, to have had any definite objects.

There seems every reasonable expectation, however, that their reign will shortly be at an end, as the Constitutional Candidates have triumphed over the Ministerial in a large majority of the places from which the returns of the Elections have been at present received.

Intelligence of the fall of the fortress of Erivan reached St. Petersburgh on the 3d instant. That important place fell in six days after the trenches were opened. We sub join extracts : ST,PETERSBURGIH, NOV. h. On the Slat of October, in the evening, his Majesty the Emperor left this capital to visit the fortress of Dunaburg. On Saturday the 3d of this month a courier arrived here. who brought the news of the taking of the fortress of Erivan. Our brave troops made themselves masters of that important place after the trenches had been opened six days. The garrison, amounting to above 3,000 men, and Hassan Khan, the Governor, are prisoners of war. The Offices who brought the news of this fortunate event only passed through St. Petersburgh, and hastened to carry the parti culars to his Majesty the Emperor. On the 30th October, his Majesty addressed an Ukase to the directing Senate, to the effect that his Majesty had per mitted Prince Labanoff Rostovsky to resign the office of Minister of Justice, on account of his bad health, retaining the dignity of Counsellor of the Empire, and the whole of his salary ; and that, till his successor shall be appointed, Prince Dolgorusky, his adjunct, shall act as Minister of Justice. On the same day Prince Labanoff received a Rescript from his Majesty, expressing his regret at the necessity of his retiring on account of his health, and allowing him, in consequence, to resign, with the sincere desire that he may enjoy repose after his long sad arduous services, and that he may be able still to be useful to his country as a Member of the Council of the Empire. The number of ships that had 'arrived at Riga up the Mk Oct. was 1,355 Sailed 1,801 The Minister of Foreign Affairs gives notice to the public that— " All persons who, by the Convention of Akerman, have claims to indemnity for losses which they have sustained through the Turkish Government, are to send to St. Petersburgh, before the lst (13th) December next, the statement of these claims, and the legal proofs of their va lidity, after which date no application will be received. The .Allgenzeine Zeitung of the 17th inst. has also been received this forenoon. It would appear that the Editor of the Journal de Frank fort has been required to state, that the Censor has been severely reprimanded for allowing two parentheses to appear in the article dated Florence, November 5, relative to Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON'S report ; and that no inference is to be drawn from those ob servations, because they expressed only the individual opinion of the EMPEROR. We shall, from particular circumstances, abstain from FRANKFORT, Nov. 16. making any remark on this subject at present:— With respect to the remarks inserted between paren theses, in the 2d column of the second page of the Journal de Frankfort, No. 318, in the article Florence, Nov. 5, in the report of Admiral Codrington, which took place on the 20th Oct., near Navarin, as well as those which were likewise between parentheses, at the end of the same ar ticle, the Editor has been required to publish the following declaration : " That the Censor has been severely reprimanded by the Senate, and that no inference is to be drawn from the two parentheses, because they express only the individual opinion of the Emperor." Prince Frederick of Pruisia, the King's nephew, arrived here to-day. _ _ VIENNA, NOV. 1 1. The Imperial Court has been plunged into the greatest affliction by the melancholy news of the death of her Ma jesty the reigning Queen, sister to his Majesty the Em peror. The Austrian Observer contains an extract from the Universal Gazette of Greece, relative to the destruction of some Turkish vessels by the Greeks, in the Gulf of Le panto, and the capture of three Austrian merchantmen, laden with currants, for Trieste.

The Francis Freeling Packet has arrived, with a Jamaica and Bermuda mail. She sailed from Jamaica on the 2d of September, from Vera Cruz on the 29th, from the Havannah on the 18th of October, and from Bermuda on the 28th of October. By this opportunity accounts have been re ceived to the 24th September from the city of Mexico. The provincial legislature had taken some proceedings for the expulsion of the old Spaniards, which had occasioned in the latter considerable alarm, and the consequence had been that bills had been in extensive demand for those parties who were anxious to withdraw their property. The Act, however, passed by the Provincial Assembly, had not been sanction ed by the General Congress, but had been re jected, being considered unjust in principle.— The general political state of Mexico is stated to be excellent. A Conducta was appointed for the end of the month (it is said . the 25th) for Vera Cruz. The letters state that money was extremely scarce; the exchange had been 41d. but recovered to 42d. a 43d. It does not appear that there were any preparations to forward specie on account of Government to this country. There was no man-of-war at Vera Cruz on the sailing of the packet. An expec tation was entertained at Vera Cruz that his Majesty's ship Aurora would shortly arrive there ; in the mean time His Majesty's sloop Pliiades had not made her appearance from Jamaica. The Government had not eon 6l. """ t° the loan that was some time ago spoken o f .
