FRENCH PAPERS. (Prom Vie Journal de Paris of Friday Dec. 2.) Vl]ex - KA, Nov. 23.—(Private Letter.)—Our funds, which had risen, have again declined. The Metalliques have been quoted at 94 This decline is caused by that which has taken place at Hamburgh., Augsburg, and Frankfort. The maritime authorities of Trieste have transmitted hither -the substance of the various accounts given them by captains of merchantmen lately arrived from the Levant. It appears from them, that the Capitan Paths .hsd aucceeded in fulfilling the intehdOns of the Sultan, by inducing 31ahoinet Paella, after snany-solicitations, to place the Turkish fleet lately equipped at Alexandria under the command of the Turkish Admiral, Thus thii naval force has sailed from Alexandria all at once, and not in divisions. The Viceroy witnessed the embarkation of the Egyptian troops. It is afiirineil that the .Capit - an Paths has strongly solicited him to come on iyoard his admiral's ship, and accompany the expedition to a certain distance. Hut •hotnet Ali thought fit to decline this invitation, his suspicious .character inducing him to believe that if he once went on board the Turkish Admiral's ship, he might very probably have to make the voyage to Constantinople. In truth, his distrust is •fountled on the ccrtain knowledge which he has acquired by ,eneans of coMidains, that the most influential members of the Piyan are jealous of the independent authority which he exer ..eises over one of the most considerable parts of the Ottdman ;Empire. As far the great Greek fleet, immediately on the sailing of the Egyptian expedition from Alexandria, it retired from the coasts of Egypt and of the Isle of Rhodes, and sailed towards the Telorea. The Turkish and Egyptian fleet had arrived off Candia with out accident, there to wait a time before proceeding to the coast of the Morea. There is no news from that province. Ibrahim. I'acha maintained his central position at Tripolizza. SCHAFFHAUSEN, Nov. 25.—Thanks to the activity of the commission of inquiry at Lucerne, one of the principal persons accused of having co-operated in the murder of the late Avoyer Keller has been discovered at Mels, in the canton of St. Gallen, and conveyed to Lucerne. His name is Fridolin Zimmerman, It is said that Ida depositions do not well agree with those of his _accomplices. (From the Quotidienne.) FRANKFORT, Nov; 25. We learn from Lemberg, in Gal licia' that at the departure of the last courier salutes of artil lery had been heard at Bender, announcing the arrival of the Emperor Alexander at Bessarabia. The Hospodar of Moldavia has appointed two of the princi pal Bayards of Jassy to compliment the Russian Monarch, as soon as notice has been received of his illajeaty's arrival among his troop& Whatever inferences may have been drawn from the assem bling of some Russian corps on the Truth, it is net believed that it bas any other object than to observe die movements that may take place on the .Moldavian frontier. . . GENOA, OCT. 26.—1 f it is true that the Turkish-Egyptian fleet has arrived safe at Navarin, it is not probable that the ne t ociations said to have been set on foot between Ibrahim Pacha and Colocotroni will have any favourable issue. The impossi. bility of saving Greece by arms, - chiefly on account of the in ternal dissensions, has induced Colocotroni to propose to Ibra him Paella to divide Greece into four provinces, each of which should have a Greek Ilospodar nominated by the Sultan, to whom an annual tribute should he paid, &c. Ibrahim - Path* is said to have answered, that he had no instructions on the subject, and that he would transmit this proposal to Constan tlople and to Alexandria. Nevertheless, hostilities were not suspended. It is now asserted that the answer of the Viceroy of Egypt has been favourable, which has not hindered him from sending to the .'Urea an expedition which is still stronger than those which have preceded it. It may be readily foreseen what answer will be given by the Divan at Constantinople."— (Gazette of Genoa.) ( Prom the Courier Francais. ) . . . The Aristargne of this morning has the following paragraph: —" A report is spread to-day at Paris, that serious troubles have broken out at Port-au-Prince between the negroes and the :Mulattoes, and that President Boyer, after having evacuated tile capital, has been forced to ask assistance of the Governor . of Martinivue. If this news should be confirmed, what be :.n-(tes of the' Hayden loan ?" . - The latter part of this article shows the object of it ; and the want of dates, and of the indications of the authority on which it rests, leaves no doubt of incorrectness. To disappoint these .-matruvres we will mention that the last yes-el from Port-au- Prince, which has arrived at Hzvre, the Afersoger, has brought letters to the .10th of October. The journal of Havre gave yes .rarday various details relative to the commerce of the island, Ina made no mention of any kind of troubles. These details were of the 7th. The private - letters are dated --three days later, and far from communicating any symptoms of disorders, they say, in direct terms, that the most perfect tran ..qujllity resigns in every part of the Republic, and that the confidence in the Government of the President Boyer has ac quired fresh strength since the negociation of the independence of the Republic.

VIENNA, Nov. 22.—Yesterday afternoon his Serene High ness Duke Charles Eugene, of Loraine, died of an apoplectic lit, in his palace, in this city. His Highness, who was born on the 25th of September 1751, was the last male branch of the illustrious House of Loraine, and nearly related to our Imiierial.Family. In 1816 he married. (for the second time) the widow of Count Colloredo, formerly Minister of State; but was afterwards separated from her. At the beginning of the ,Frendi revolution he was distinguished, as Commander of th e French Guards, by the title of Prince of Lambese, but after. wards entered the Austrian service, and was received in the -.-rnost honourable manner by his August relations. As Prince of the blood, he had the first rank next to the.Archclukes To morrow the funeral will take place with all possible magnifi cence ; and as the deceased was senior Captain of the Guards, the German and H ungarian Noble Guard will attend. His Imperial Highness the Archduke Palatine is arrived here, and brings, as it is said, a new represent a tio n f or t h e Hungarian Diet at Presburg. elicit, Nov. 24.—As the Constitutional Edict on the flatedom of the press prescribes a censorship only tbr political journals, his Majesty the King has, been graciously pleased to exempt front the censorship which had been ordered, all the journals not of a political description which have appear ed at Munich since 1823, taking it for granted that the editors will ,confine theniselves within the j us t li m it s o f f ree discus sion, , for which they remain answerable. rIIANKFOItT ON THE MAINE, Nov. 22.—The apprehen sions which for some months past have been expressed in va rious quarters respecting the prices of wool, are unfortunately confirmed. In great transactions there is en entire stagnation, .hecduae the holders of large stocks, who are not pressed by im mediate necessity ttasell, hold back , and the buyers do the same on their side, in expectation of a further decline. But the little farmers in the vicinity of the Latin, chiefly, who did not sell im mediately after the shearing, in the hope of obtaining higher prices,have been very much deceived in their calculations. Being now pressed by the want of ready money,. to pay taxes, interest, &calla) , must sell for 40 or 50 per cent.below the prices they might have bad at the time. It is expected that the opening of the British ports for. the importation of barley will do us much good. As such a conjunction is always of short duration, only those ]persons can.protit by it who can make use of it immedi ately, and consequently the holders of the bonded grain will be the I: 4M in the market. The quantity of barley under the king's lock is said to be so great, that it will suffice to reduce the prices below the average at which importation is allowed, .before there will be time for any fresh supplies to arrive from the Continent. —We have even given up the hope of a modification of the British corn laws in the next Session of Parliament.—(Allge eneitrc Zcitung, .Nov.

CONST AND OTHERS V. HARRIS AND OTHERS. The LORD CHANCELLOR was occupied this day until near one o'clock in hearing a motion made by Mr. HEALD, praying that the receiver might be ordered to pats.his accounts. The LORD CHANCELLOR strongly recommended to the parties to settle amongst, themselves, and intimated that if they did not do so, be would make an order on Saturday. ROLLS COURT.—(Thrs DAY.) JUDGMENT.-EVANS V. JONES. His HONOUR gave judgment this day in this case by order ing the Defendant to pay over unto the account of the A ttorney General all sums of money in his hands, and appointed a re ceiver of the rents and profits of the estate. [PROCEEDINGS OF SATURDAY.] COURT OF CHANCERY, DEC. 3. DE BEAUVOIR V. RHODES. Mr. BE•LD wished to hear froiniii.lloine whether or no he intended to accept the issue for a trial . at common law which had been °fired him by the Court: The object of the trial pro posed is to get the decision of a court of law upon the point of fraud or no fraud in obtaining a building lease for lands in the parish of Hackney, on the presumption of which _ the heir-at law was p weeding to an ejectment of lessee until stayed by the injunction of this Court. Mr. Ho alih said that he could not give any answer until the decision of this Court was made known to him as to whether or no the inj inction so granted should abide. The Lon D CHANCELLOR Ilad made up his mind upon that point, bu he would not now declare it, because he did not like to have a dry decision : he always liked to accompany it gr'jth the reasons which had induced him to come to it. He would take it th: first thing on Monday morning. CONST n. HARRIS.—COVENT- GARDEN TWICATRE. The day IA as taken up with hearing a part of the argument in this case. It will be remembered that the plaintiff claims the benefit of a life-e State in one-eighth of the whole property demised by a Mrs. Martindale. By a deed of 1812, the pro prietors appropriated certain rents and profits appurtenant to the theatre fo: paying off the incumbrances, through a com mon receiver, Mr. Brandon. In 1822, Mr. Harris, who own ed seven-twel - ihs,of the whole, underlet the theatre to Messrs. Kemble, Willet, and Forbes. These gentlemen Now held, with their own shares in the property, seven-eighths of the whole. They proceeded in their new management, and among other arrangements, they discharged Mr. Brandon, the receiver appointed under the deed of 1812, and appointed a Mr. H. Ro bertson to the office. The plaintiff brought a bill in Chancery to compel , he parties to an observance of the conditions of the deed of 18 2. The Court was of opinion that the debts ought to be pt id out of the property received by the treasurer ac cording to as assignment, and doubted the validity of Oat act of discharging the receiver, Mr. Brandon, whose appointment was of common .consent of all the proprietors. The question of receiver.hip, however, was referred to the Master, who, in consideration of the new firm having 7-Bths of the property in actual possession, ratified the appointment of Mr. Robert son. Th.: next consideration then was, under what directions the receiver was to act. Notice of a day was given to all the proprietors to assemble in the Master's office, and agree upon the directiors s to be given. Neither Mr. Const, the plaintiff, nor Mr. Harris the lessor, appeared. By the ordinary course, therefore, head g had due notice, they were held to assent. The Master allowe • all the expences disbursed by Mr. Robertson, and the night]. • and current expences for keeping open - the theatre. This arangernent, gave dissatisfaction to the plaintiff, who consieere I it as opposed to the fulfilment of the conditions of the deed of 1312, and to the opinion of the Court expressed thereupon. Notice was given of a motion to discharge the re ceiver, and the Master, finding that his order was objected to, suspended it in effect until the parties had consulted the ;opi nion of the Court upon it. Mr. H EAL:II now moved for certain directions to he given to the receiver, of an import similar to thoie under which he had hitherto be .•ri acting. Mr. Twiss supported the application. Mr. SUGDEN appeared for Mr. Const to oppose it. He was the party who had given notice of the motion to discharge the receiver. Mr. HART appeared for Mr. Harris, the lessor, who had, as he contended, transfered, by the lease of 1822, all the debts and incumbrances along with the property. He approved of the appoi ument of Mr. Robertson, but thought that the obli gations aid conditions of the deed of 1822 ought to be strictly fulfilled. This was the extent. to which the case was argued to-day ; it is to be resumed on Monday. The LAW CFIAI46ELLOR occasionally touched upon points not only connected with the motion, but also upon what are technically called the merits. His Lordship appeared to be of opinion that the directions and the order of the Master under which the present receiver is acting, must be considered as suf ficient for ilia security, until reversed or countermanded by an equal authority. 'The Master had taken the only course which was opel to hint of ascertaining whet expences should be al lowed a: being actually necessary to keep the theatre open. He had consulted !vitli the managers and proprietors, -who were the only proper ju 'ges of such matters. Those who did not go into , the office to al t that corisnation, being duly invested, must be held to acquies:c. These facts being granted, what could the Court possibly do in the way of directions ? The appointment of the receiver was now admitted to be sufficiently valid—the Master had chosen him under the nomination of those who owned or hel t seven:-eighths of the whole property. The di , rections had bvn given him under those forms, and with that degree of caution which had before been touched upon.. Now this Court could not, with any more cleverness than the Master, undertake to judge of itself what were the proper nightly ex pences to be allowed. Bow was he to know whether such a dancer ought or ou.4ht not to have so much a night. - He could not calculate the value of singing a song so many times, for lie was not a judge of the matter at all. This was the difficulty in which such an appeal would place the Court ; and he must deal with it at on -e by saying, that the Court was not bound to do more towards the managing of a theatre, than it would be bound to do towards the management of any other kind of property brought into question before the Court. As to the effect of the deed of 1812; or of that and the lease of 1822, taken together, it was clear that the iroperty must continue bound to the pay— ing 'off the incumbrances according to the deed of 1812: but as Mr. Harr.s was a party to that deed, and signed it as a part proprietor, and as he had afterwards parted with his direct and immediate interest in the possession and direction of the pro. perty, a qu stion arose as to how tar he was - now to be consi dered resp insible to the plaintiff for the fulfilment of those conditions in the deed of 1812. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DEc.-3. cMINIVELL v. ItICUARDSON. This was an action by Thomas ........, who had been shopman to the defendant, a grocer, for slanderous words, and also for c' , aruing him with ro bb ery , ma li c i ous ly an d without probable cause. The defendant pleaded the general issue to the whole declarat'on ; and to the counts for slander, that the words spoken were t ue. It appeared on the evidence for the plaintiff, whose case was conducted by Mr. SCARLETT and Mr. Wrowesimi, that being about is quit his master, after a service of ten months, on the 6th of Msy last, he was called up stairs by the defendant, and accused of stealing some .silver from the till, He ex pressed considerable indignation a* the charge, and produced his money, when the defendant claimed sixpence as having been marked by him on the preceding; evening. Mr. Richard son persisting in the charge, refined 'to pay him his wages, and he left the house without them. On the 7th of May, he direct ed his attorney to demand them by letter • to which an answ e r was received on the 13th, f ro m Mr. John Richardson, the brother and solicitor of the defendant, stating, that if the ap plicant knew the circumstances, he would itsit take the case in hand, aril that his client, who seemed bent on .his own destruc-. should find tbritMr. Richardson could punish him with vigour. On the 9th of May, the plaintiff' was apprehended, at the instance of the defendant, and taken before the Magistrates at Marlborough-street, .where Mr. Richartlgon made a charge against him of stealing' I la. from the till; which was dismissed. Mr. Richardson afterwards preferred two indictments succes sively for larceny, which were ignored by the„Grand Jury of Middlesex, and also spoke the words imputing the same of fence to his lodger. In order to anticipate`an attempt by the defendant to cast suspicion on the plaintiff, by reason of his possessing a sum of money. considerable for a.man in his sta tion, the parties with whom he had lived previously were called, who stated.that he was a young man of very economical habits, and had recently been paid 251. for a legacy and interest left in his brother's hands. Mr. DENMAN (with whom was Mr. THEswEa), for the defendant, proposed to show that the charge was true, or at all events that there were reasonable grounds for the suspicion. For this purpose Mr. John Richardson, the attorney, was called, who was present when the accusation was originally made. He said the plaintiff' appeared confused, but immedi ately produced about a pound in silver, among which the de fendant pointed out a s i x p e n ce as marked by himself the day preceding. The plaintiff denied the charge, and said he had taken the sixpence in change for porter. The plaintiff's box was then searched, and in it were found four sovereigns and a half, and a promissory note for 10.1. Ile was desired to account for the possession of this money, and did so, except for about I/. ss. 11!r. SCAKLETT, in reply, urged that the evidence did not in the least support the charge of felony, which had failed even when supported by the prosecutor's oath, and that, as it was clear that the whole proceeding arose from the determination of the plaintiff to demand his wages, the Jury ought to award him considerable damages. The Loan Cum , JUSTICE directed the Jury that the charge of felony was not substantiated, and. therefore, that at all events the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict on the counts for slander. On the other counts for a malicious prosecution, the question was, not whether the charge was true, but whether it was preferred without reasonable cause, which they would consider on the facts proved. The Jury, after retiring for a short . ‘tent-i returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 1001. A berdiet, by consent, was taken in the next cause, between the same parties, in which,the plaintiff* sought to recover his wages for their amount, 201. 168.13 d. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. 3. cruel. CON.—FEDLEY V. BURCH: ' This was an action for Criminal Conversation with the plain , tiff's wife. The defendant pleaded the general issue. Mr. Serjeant VauertheN stated the case. --The defendant, - John Burch, was a jeweller in affluent - circumstances, ,in Holborn. The lady was, one of great personal beauty.— The facts which he had to lay before them were these i The 'defendant lived in liolborn, on the opposite side to the - plaintiff: The plaintiff; William Pedley, was the son of a respectable mineral manufacturer, and was married to his wife in 1819, at Hendon, when they were under age.— His wife was the daughter of a stateary,who gave her 390/. down as her marriage portion, with the promise of more as they got on. The match was one of ardent attachment. They set .up in business in Holborn, in the shell fish line, and soda water. The defendant perceiving that the wife of the plaintiff was very- beautiful, was desirous of ingratiating himself in her good graces, but he thought it first expedient to cultivate the good will of her husband. For this purpose he frequently took ,meals in his house; and as the situation was close, he said *that they wanted the benefit of the fresh air, and accordingly he took Mrs. Pedley out in his gig to enjoy it before the busi ness of the evening began. The plaintiff's business rendered it necessary for him to •go to the market early—he had to go to Rillinsgate by three o'clock in the morning for fish, and went to bed generally about ten o'clock. The defendant knew this, and waited with him till ten o'clock, -when he would get up as the unsuspecting husband had the candle in his hand ready to go up stairs, and say, shaking him by the hand-- " Good night, my friend ; God bless you! 1 will see you in the morning." With this he would go over to his own house anti watch till the plaintiff had gone to bed, which he could tell by seeing him put out the candle, for the defendant's house overlooked the plaintiff's window. The defendant would then go over to the plaintiff';: wife, sit with her eating lobsters in the parlour, where he ingratiated himself in her fa vours. Matters went on in this way for some time, till the in jured husband coming.home rather early on one occasion, he found that his wife was out, and on her corning home, she was so confused by being thus taken by surprise, that he sent her home to her parents till he had made further inquiries into her conduct. Things had gone wrong in the shop, and his busi ness had been neglected by her in consequence of pursuing her criminal pleasures with the defendant. The criminal act was - often to be inferred from the circumstances of the case ; but here they had the defendant's own confession of his guilt.— He could not keep the matter to himself; he boasted of his amours. Evidence was called to substantiate the above charges, and submitted to the usual cross-examination, after which Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE replied—The seduction of yester day was a deep tradedy—that of to-day was only a buffoon farce ; no tears were shed to soften their feelings for the in juries of the husband, or the loss of his faithless fair one. His Learned Friend was so conscious of this fact, that although he touched their hearts with the pathetic beauties of poetry yester day, yet he had not favoured them with one single quotation to adorn the barrenness of this unfortunate case.—(Laughter.)— But if he had illuminated die darkness of his case, it would not have been with quotations from Shakspeare, but culling his sweet flowers from the calendars of Newgate, and. the pas. torals of St. Giles's.—(Roars of laughter.)—He knew that he had a dry and barren case-between a silversmith and an oyster shell.—(Laughter.) —So conscious was he of this taisfortune„ that_ he. would -- not use the word oyster, hut took a circum locution in describing his hero, and therefore dubbed him a dealer in shell fish. Of his rase, he was afraid of open ing the .oyster to them—(laughter)—although it turned out to be a native oyster.—(Continued laughter.)—He had spoken of Chandos-street, but in this great town many ladies might go to Chandoe-street ; but he did not himself know, but he had heard it. from others—(laughter)—that there was such a place as Chandos-street, but there was no proof that the defend a nt wen t w i t h a " key" there. What right had the plaintiff to complain about the travels of others, for he kept an oyster shop himself for all the loose fish in town. , The boasts of the defendant were no evidence. It was held by a Learned Judge that a man's boasting of having had criminal conversation with another man's wife could not he received in - evidence against bum. But the- conduct of the plaintiff to his wife was not quite the thing—he had not taken that due care of her chastity and conduct which it was incumbent on him, in a place where she was held up to so much temptation. It was not quite the thing for the wife going to bed when .the hasbaed rises. (Laughter.) It was a bad state of so ciety. (More laughter.) It was not the thing for married .people to act like the heavenly bodies in their rising and set ting. (Great laughter.) The plaintiffshonld have acted more discreetly ; he ought - - to have taken his moon to bed with him, .and not have suffered her - to sit tip alone—" looking so modest all the while."—(Great laughter.)—The plaintiff bad left his fences open and, unprotected for stray cattle to enter in, and enjoy the tempting things the gods provid e them.—(Laughter.) —Yes, the plaintiff's shop was kept open to a late hour of the night, or rather the morning, with his beautiful and facinating wife, smiling and blushing behind the flattering blaze of gas,.. which showed her charms in a better light. —(Laugh ter.)—There was she, the centre of attraction, inviting in the wanderers -of •the night, to partake of native oysters, spruce beer, ginger. beer, soda water, vinegar anti pepper, with her in the back parlour, while her husband, good easy man, was sleeping in the cock-loft.—(Bursts of laughter.)— The..lady was said to be beautiful, and he had never known a crini. con. case where the lady was not represented as beau tiful. Men would go to ruin after a beautiful - woman, in the same manner that they went t o Tyburn to be kanged, because Captain 11Iacheath was accounted so handsome, that all who were desirous of b e in g cons id ere d h an d some had only to make their exit at Tyburn. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—They did not go to be hanged outright—they only offered. . Mr. Sergeant SPANEIE—Oh, yes 2 - they got hanged, for there was the glory !—(Laughter.)—But this careful husband was sleeping in comfort, while his wife was enjoying herself in a more lively manner —" Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret—" The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE heie interrupted him, saying that though he did not object to pleasant quotations, yet those from a sacred source were not allowable. . Mr. Sergeant ,SPASIXIE said, that he made the quotation for its conclusion,. which was most apposite, " that her f ee t are in the depths of hell." H e th en contended that tile hus band sustained no loss by the want of his wife's society, for she was perfhrtning one function while the husband performed another. It was evident that the husband had not felt the loss much, or acutely—that he was riot alive to those tender sensi bilities of our nature that vibrate at the least semblance of un kindness or dishonour. Would a man who loved his wife, as this man had been represented, have gone into an alehouse with the violator of his bed and the destroyer of his happiness ? Would he have sung' songs in the company of the man who had seduced his wife, and rendered bins the object either of pity or scorn ? Would he not rather have shrunk from the cone tamination of his presence, as if he had been stung by a serpent, and have left the room in the anguish of his soul to hide his shame - and his sorrows from the eyes of men But this plaintiff outlived his own 'sheltie, and _that his spirit was not bowed down by sorrows; was proved by his singing merry songs in the ear of his seducer. That conduct required no .comment; hind if the Jury were to give damages in such a case, it would be doing injustice to virtue by rewarding vice. It would be a premium to bad men to court such actions. If they were to give any here, it would be making Westminster Hall nothing better than a broker's shop for discarded - wives, instead of whistling them off with a rope about their neck to Smithfield, as done in former times, which was.really the best punishment and riddance of bad wives. In the present case they had no children, and the husband had not, by his conduct, entitled himself to damages. The LORD,QH IE I , JUSTICE summed up at great length, and the Jury consulted for a short tune, and found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 350/.. The LORD CHIEF JusTrcE—That is a very right ver dict; I much apprdve of it.

Mr. Hunt, after apologising for troubling the Magistrate, stated, that it was put forth in a publication, that the distance from the Ulephant and Castle to Blackfriars-Bridg e was one mile, and the fare of course one shilling; he, Mr. Hinic wished to know how far that was correct. Having deposited the necessary expences he retired. Mr. Hunt, Clark the coachman, and Johns the officer, with the perambulator belonging to the office, assembled at four o'clock, and measured the ground, which proved to be 47 yards more than the mile.
