FORE Til'.Nr P;TELLMENCI7.. FRENCH: PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France dated Tuesday, July I';'.). " BUCHIREST, APRIL 24.. *-HA private letter from Constantinople of the 14th, announces that a report was current in that city, that since the rejec i.ien of the,proposals of the Allied Powers, and the nee e; of the eauitulaticn of the 'Acropolis, the Sultan had form'ed a design to induce the Greeks to submit, by offering them an amnesty. Should they submit, there will, of laiurNe, h no occasion for an interven tion.- What has passed, however, authorises a belief that the Greeks could not place any cOnfidence.in a Turkish amnesty, even on reasonable conditions ; and the more so, as it is affirmed that the Emperor Nicho las-persists in the proposals which he has made. • " LEGHORN, JI7IX -I.—An English squadron of eight men of war has sailed from Malta, bOund to Alexandria. It is supposed to have orders to act in conjunction with; 'the . French squadron to prevent the sailing of tlie Egyptian fleet.

The appointment of an individual to the high situation - of Governor-Gen'al in India, is al ways an event of deep interest, as affecting our mighty empire in the east ; but at few periods of our connection with that country, has it been of. more importance to select for the high office an individual possessing talent, energy, judgment, and acknowledged integrity. Without wishing to rake up the slumbering ashes of the Barrack pore Mutiny, or to pass any opinion on the conduct of those concerned in that unfortunate business, it is not to be concealed that by that act of extreme rigour, they have sensibly affected the tenure by which a handful of our• country men hold sway over countless millions of their fellow creatures, vast numbers of whom are their' equals in personal courage and physical strength. The natives of high cast, have, since that period felt a disinclination to enter our service, and we believe' that the situation of India was much more critical than is generally supposed, when the fall of Bhurtpore convinced the disaf fected, that even that pucelle, the . Peronne of the Eastern world, was not inviolable ; and broke up a coalition, which added to discontent in our own army, threatened the predicted and anticipated expulsion of the English from the banks of the Ganges, and the fertile plains of Hincloatan. The Noble Lord to whose energy and mili tary skill, the fall of Bhurtpore was principally Owing, has since done much to remove discontent from cur , army, and by an early acquaintance with that country, is enabled to avoid offending their prejudices dearer than life to the blinded Hindoos, and the want of respect for which will always •(as it did at Yellore) lead to the most serious conse- quences. But Lord ('OMIiERMERE does not succeed better with the natives than with the Euro pean population. The courtesy and guarded propriety of his conduct make him a uni versal favourite, and thus he • contributes to the security of our Eastern Empire, no less by his et)loits in arms than by the conci liating ;11:11 - ay manners in the time of pPace. To- unite in. these laudable exertions, and to restore the suspended confidence of the natives of India in the justice and humanity of our Go vernment, Nye do not !hint,: that the Court of Directors and Board Of . Controul 'could . haYe se:l lected a person more amply qualified than the Noble Lord on whom their choice has lately fallen. Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK, has had like Lord COMBERMERE, the benefit of a pre vious acquaintance with the may/nets and Fe tiiliCe o: ‘b- —c trust, that those ,Ac., noble individualc will go hai;d in hand in rais ing still higher, the character of the British Nation. For whether our possessions in that quarter are to continue under the government of the East India C,'ompany, or in %Thai:ever shape they are to be attached to this monarihv—there is little doubt that the of our tcnure must ever be a temperate a.:(1 • gentle sway, added to our acknowledged and pre-eminent superiority arms. It is scarcely worth while to notice the con temptible attack made on the Marquis of LANs- DowNE by the Morning Post of this day with respect to the services of a m ilit ar y fO re e having been c a ll e d in aid of th e c i v il p ower , to sup press a di sgrace ful riot, whi c h t oo k pl ace in the King's Bench Prison. The Posf aflopted the insinuations from a low and obscure Evening Paper, and any thing from such a source must be as h arm l ess . as it is contemptibl e . But the cause which rendered the assistance (0 the military necessary, appears to us to deserve the strictest investigatio n , for if the facts are as they have been represented, we do consider that the greatest blame must attach to the Authorities who have the immediate. charge and cantroul of t h e prison, and that nothing short of their in slant dismissal from their situations should take place. It appears from all the information which has been circulated of the origin of this riot in the prison, that some of the unfortunate persons confined_there for debt, .forgetful of thei r own unhappy situation and that of their farailieE— and regardless of. the rnislottunes . Which . they may have entailed on others, had formed a plan for c:irr\ in _r on the ',noel; eleJion of a Member of Patliament, which was allowed to proceed with the fOrmality of a. real elegion, occasioning all the excite ment which such arc .. event produces; and bl as phemy, d run k enness , ai.ld; , a ttended with the violation of decency which the Most favoured . spot or,freedgin in election could exhibit. Is it not then, We sny, most di sgrace f u l th a t suc h a scene should have h en permitted to exist for a "single. hour ? or is it extraordinary, if it were `=: ~ r~ allowed, that the consequences which ensued should have taken place? Can it be wondered at under such circumstances, that a riot should have occurred which required more than or dinary means to suppress. ? But whose duty was it to prevent the First Commencement of the mockery of an election ? Was it not the -duty of the Marshal. Mr. JONES ? Undoubtedly it was: but, perhaps, this great man was enjoy ing his retirement at his villa in the country, instead of attending to his duty as the Gaoler of the King's Bench Prison. This, or the interest which the Marshal is sup posed to have in the sale of every article. con sumed within the walls - of the prison, can alone account for the affair being for a mo ment permitted. In either of these .cases, a remedy should be applied, not only by punish ing the present Marshal, but by preventing either of these evils for the future.. A house is pro vided for the residence of the Marshal,. ad joining the Prison,. and he should pelled to reside there constantly, instead of being principally resident, .as has been th e case with 'Mr. JONES, seven miles ott, at a villa suitable for the residence of a nobleman ; and the practice of the Marshal's benefitting by the sate of articles to the prisoners—thus deriving an immense income frdm the additional misery of h . fellow-creatiires, and being interested in their expending, instead of saving their scanty means —should be absolutely and positively prohibited. We received, this morning, the Nuremburg Corresponile; it of the llth instant. It contains one article of a very gratifying nature, describ ing the rejection of a proposal for introducing the Censorship of the Press into the Swiss Cantons. The attempt was met with a spirit highly honourable to the independence of the Senatorial body, who expressed _ their in dignation of the measure by a majority of 61 to 5. We cannot help wishing that a similar spirit had influenced the Government of France—but there, alas, the Ministers had only to decree that the liberty of the Press should cease, and the organs ofpublie opinion were instantly shackled. Perhaps it was at the sug gestion of the French Ministry that a similar curb was attempted in Switzerland, for libe ral men are• not more desirous to improve man kind with the hlessings of enlightened principles and kindred sentiments, than tyrants are prone to enslave their fellow nien to,' ail the arts which ingenuity can devise, or tksir own had hearts can prompt. They know that deTotism is in consistent with humanity, 'and they endeavour to fetter the mind if they cannot enslave the body. Public opinion is a mirror which they can not encountertheli• acts ha.;:e become to reflection. and they destim: that which honest men would most value as recording a true estimate of their character. Bat when men have lost all pretension to character, there may, perhaps, be some modesty in wishing to avoid . ftifther . --etutinv.

It seems that a fresh application had been sent out by the King of SPNIN for a portion of the troops at present col leeted in the island of Cuba, hi order that they might assist his views in Spain. The Governor, however, hart refused to comply with this request ; and had assigned a 3 a ri , ason the existilos planer from a threatened invasion on the part of Colombia. At the same time he mn4 have known that the Republic is at present in no condition to make a descent upon Cuba; and, in consequence of his conviction that the Hand was - exposed to no peril, a very small portion of the military were kept under arms. Not long since, nearly the whole force of the island was required to be in readi nes, at the shortest notice. Trade was very heavy, but the crops of the island had a very promising. appearance. To-day the market in Mincing-lard, • particularly for raw Sugars,: is extremely brick, and a farther rise may be quoted ; the measures of Government in allowing the refiners to use Foreign "Sugars is likely to Occasion a complete revolution in this article, and to bring back a great portian of the business to this country from the Continent; so strong is the general opinion in favour of these new arrangements having this efect,•that a great city Capitalist is said to be in the market making extensive purchases, which must tend to a further advance. BILBOA, JULY B.—A Colombian schooner privateer ap peared off this pmt on the 4th inst., and it is reported she has captured several Spanish vessels from the Westward. This has caused no vessels to arrive or sail from this port since the 30th ult. ; the privateer mounts one twelve pounder and 30 men. Papers and letters were received yesterday from Quebec to the 9th of June. Every thing appears to he going on well in the Canadas. The establishments of the Canada Company are represented to be in a very flourishing state. The township of Guelph, which consists of about 42,000 acres, situated near Burlington Bay, Lake Ontario, is one of their principal settlements. A town has been laid out, and some progress made in the building. - It is Called Goderich town, in honour of Lord Goderich. The Com pany have .commenced the building of three churches in different parts of their settlements. They have disposed of a considerable quantity of land at a profit of from seven to eight shillings an acre. As a place to emigrate to, we should imagine that the Canadas and Nova Scotia are in many respects preferable to the United States.. The taxes are much lower, and land is more easily obtained. The West Indies form an eNcellent mart for the sale of Cana dian produce, and the non-intercourse regulations with respect to the United States, if continued, will operate most powerfully in favour of the people of the former Colonies, both as regards commerce and agriculture. The only fear in Canada is that our Government will not persevere in their present system. If they could be assured that the non-intercourse regulations were likely to be permanent, such means would speedily be adopted as would convince brother Jonathan that the West Indies were in no way de pendent upon the United States.

The procession was beset by about 1,00 people, who attacked, reviled, and pelted the widow, who, from.some cause or other, had become obnoxious to thern, and who, they improperly insinuated, by 111 treatment, had hastened her unfortunate husband's death, he having been found in a water-butt, under circum stances Which led to a belief that - he had com mitted suicide. It was at length found necessary to call in a party. of the police to keep off the mob, principally- women, who had not decency enough to stop their yelling during the reading of the burial service. The widow was with diffi culty got home by six 9f the constables. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. MORTIMEP. V. v:TsT. This case stood for judgment. His LORDIiIP stated, that the que , ..tion turned upon the construction of the will - of a Richard Mar' timer. The testator bequeathed his property, CO; sisting of real, copyhOld, freehold, leasehold, sl ls personel estates generally to his three natural children . born of Martha Davis. • Those three children were well enough described in the will ; but the testament went on to say—" and to every o ther child or children born of the body of Martha Day'` and living at my decease, or borne and living within nine - months afterwards." The three children allude! to only were born at the time - when the will was made ; afterwards a fourth was born, aria, the testator then made a codicil in favour 0 that child ; but that codicil was defective, inasmuch! as it could not pass real estate, according t o the Statute of Frauds. A fifth son was born, and 0 second codicil made, which was defective in like . manner. The testator then died, and the bill was' filed by the two younger children. Several case had been cited in the course of the arguments, but which the Court thought unnecessary to enter into, because the terms of ,the bequest in the will were general ; and were there was a bequest in a will to children generally, legitimate children must r be meant, unless by implication, or somethins amounting to implication, it appeared that the testator intended illegitimate children were to be. included. There was nothing, however , in the present will that manifested an intention, oa the part of the testator, to leave his property, to the illegitimate children. It was - extremely probable that he meant to leave them some of it, but the in' struments he had executed, according to law, did no t convey it to them.' Under these circumstances, the Court had to declare that the two younger childr o were not entitled to take any thing at all, eith?r under the will or codicils of the testator. Mr. SUGDEN stated, that the case having be thus far disposed of, as there were some flirt/ points to be discussed, probably the Court wot allow the case to stand in the paper for ..-:-aturday, be finally disposed of. Leave granted. AIOTIONS His LORDSHIP said, that in consequence of the representations that had been made to him from die bar, respecting the arrear of motions, which he 13; 1- derstood to be - considerable, he would go on for 1 ; few days to hear motions, after the next Seal.

Mr. Rost:, on Wednesday, obtained the leave 01 the Court to mention this . matter yesterday, but the day having been otherwise occupied, he 'had not been able to avail Himself of that leave, but got the permission extended to this morning. He was strutted by Messrs. Amory and Coles, who had, or the 21st of June, on the application of Messr s ' Wilson and Verables, • issued' a commission against the bankrupt. The proof of the act bankroptcy depended on . the production of deed of • trust, that had been executed by the bankrupt some time ago; the deed was in the hand of a solictor, Mr. Suteae, who, as Mr. Rose w o ' instructed, had refused to attend before the Cole' inissioners, or-to produce the trust deed until afto: the expiration of the fourteen day s allowedtJ ,, Act of Parliament 'for the opening or lie COm' _ itmmehately Mr. Sutcliffe had got that core mission superseded; and issued another. 'Hence th e • present application to supersede Mr. Sutcliffe's coo'''. mission, end for a procedendu to restore to operatior the one that Messrs.: Amoraaeand Coles had takei l l out. The alleged ground .therefor e against Mr. commission was, a breach of good f a i t h on hi s par t. Mr. HEALD appeared to oppose the applicatioaq and he hoped that another such application wou l3 l never be heard of in, this COnrt,"by the Very respec 4, table gentlemen who had instructed -Mr. Rose.—"" This ease called loudly for the interposition of the Court, because if solicitors were to be allowed to succeed in such a course as had been adopted here , the greatest mischief would result to property ad suitors at large. A great deel of injury had beer sustained in the present instance, and that iiijoi.l" might have been to It much greater extent. In the latter end of la.;t year the to became ember' rased ; a commission was taken out against him ar November, by Me. Sutcliffe, on behalf (if the creah' to r s. At a subsequent meeting of the creditors it F thought it would turn out better for the e; , ate that that commission should be superseded, and the bankrupt should execute the trust deed alluded to. The majority of the creditors, including' both Wilson and Ve»ables executed that 'deed, alv the commise,ina was superseded: It was. afterward s found that Booth would not be able to pay the ill' stalments that were agreed to be paid by that deed'' and that a commission would have to be taken oov to save the property. In June a meeting of the cer t ., ditors was held to consider of this, and a number ot them instructed Mr. Suteliffe to issue ,another mission. On the other hand, it was wiahe.'l by others that Messrs. Amory and Coles shotil ° have the carriage of the commission, and thq:' said infessrs. NAYson and Vanables would become the petitioners, they would issue it. Mr. S. Wi t , stated, he did not think it proper that professiona l men should be running a race for business, a nd therefore if Messrs. A. and C. insisted on taking a commission, he would not proceed. They r too out the commission on Aloe %Ist June.
