POTISIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Etoile, dated Saturday, May 5.) LIES OF THE DAY. PARIS, APRIL 4.—Journal des Debats.—A , re port is spread that the National Guard is going to be reorganized. The Constitutionnel.—The object of the mission of the Count d'Ofalia to Paris is to induce France to adopt the project of the Spanish Cabinet, to unite Portugal with Spain, ceding to the Emperor of Brazil in return, Mexico, Guatimala, and some other independent States which may suit him. The law relative to the organization of the. Jury, adopt- : ing by the two Chambers, has just been promul-1 gated, under the dated 2d of May. Letters from-Trieste, of 21st of April, say that a vessel arrived in nine days from Syra, has brought the news that Lord Cochrane is chiefly engaged in persuading the two Assemblies of Egina and Castri to meet totgether at a third place, and that he has re presentectthat it was necessary, above all things; to concentrnte all their forces to deliver Athens, and then to act against Negropont, in order to become rnastert, of Ronatlia. Every thing possible for the exect4ion of this plan was immediately offered. The Candiot,s, who have been dispersed in the islands,. have been summoned to repair to the Isle of Zea. Tile Greek steam-beat has captured two Turkish merchantmen, laden with provisions. Letters from Leghorn say that the Bey of Tripoli demands of Tuscany 4,000 Spanish piastres, for the recognition of M. Rossini, the new Tuscan Consul. Two Tuscan vessels having sailed some weeks since for Tripoli, which were not commissioned to deliver this present, it is feared they may have been de tained, and hostilities commenced. MADRID, APRIL 23.—The Marquis and Marchio ness of Chaves have arrived at Irun, where, it seems, they will remain till further orders. The Captain Genera! of Guipascoa had them arrested as they passed through Heruani. The English Government has caused some. smuggling vessels to be disarmed, which were under ; the British flag, but were manned by Sardinians, . Genoese, and Spaniards, and had long cruised on the, coast of the country of Niebla, in Andalusia. One of these vessels having attempted to avoid the exe cution of this measure, has been brought into : Gibraltar. His Catholic Majesty has just given permission to a merchant at Cadiz to import four steam-engines. manufactured in England, to facilitate irrigation, on, payment of a duty of one per cent. on the invoice trice, under whatever flag they 'may be imported. This measure will be henceforward extended to tllmachines of the kind, and to all instruments use ful in manufactures and agriculture, till they can be manufactured in the Peninsula. An inhabitant of Estremadura has just been au. thorised to found a town► by the name of St. Amelia, a desert place, which has hitherto been the retreat of banditti. The Governor of the Council of Castille has just sent a Circular to the authorities of the Kingdom, announcing that a great many persons have conic from Lisbon to Spain to excite troubles and disor ders; and his Excellency calls on them to exert themselves to arrest these persons, and send imme diately to Madrid those who may be taken. (From the Constitution/set of Friday.) PARIS, MAY 3.—Political Reverie.—No one could imagine the mission with which the new Spa nish Ambassador at the Court of England, who has , been here for the last month, has been charged at the French Court. Who could conceive that the Spa nish Government has imagined an arrangement by which Portugal would be re-united to Spain, while, by way of compensation, Mexico, Guatimala, and other independent States, would be ceded to the Emperor of Brazil? Do not imagine, that previ ously to taking into consideration this senseless pro ject, either England or the Republics themselves were consulted : the opinion of the Court of Madrid was the only one by which M. Ofalia came sup- i ported to solicit the French Ministry's countenanced What opinion are we to form of pretended States men to whom people dare to address such extrava gander ? And all those fine projects were formed previous to the Ordinance for the disbanding of the National Guard 1 The love of justice proba bably inspired the Cannrilla of Madrid. It is a re markable fact, that.M..ofalia arrived here almost at the same time as M. Camacho, Minister for Foreign Affairs and Envoy Extraordinary from the Mexican Republic, and both stopped at the same hotel. Another singularity is, that M. de Villele is talk ing of the incredible project of giving Mexico to Brazil, at the same time that he is negociating with M. Camacho concerning the acknowledgment of the independence of Mexico. The Moniieur, in its official part, publishes the Royal Ordinance, countersigned by the President of the Council, by which the resignation of the Duke de Doudeauville, is accepted. The portfeuille of the King's Household is conferred,par interim, to Baron de la Bouilliere, Intendant of the King's Treasury. , Viscount Sosthene undoubtedly continues in the Department of the Fine Arts. There is no longer any doubt of the retirement of M. de Chabrol. (From the Journal des Debuts, May S.) MADRID, APRIL 3.—(From a Private Letter.) The Council of State has just proposed to his Ma.? jetty to appoint a Committee of men versed in the law from among the Members of the Council of Cu tille, to draw up a new code for the practice of the civil tribunals. This proposal of the Council is of the highest importance, for we have only one code, more voluminous than that of the Romans before the time of Justinian, composed of regulations almost contradictory, which renders all cases brought before our tribunals interminable. An officer, who has lately arrived from the Havan. half, has been sent with others for General Vivers ; he will embark at Cadiz.

BUENOS ATRES.—The following is from the ilfewagero of the 2d of January. The objections of the provinces to the constitu tion appear to be, that it gives too much power to Buenos Ayres, and that it provides no way for re moving the members of the Congress, in case they give dissatisfaction to their constituents. The creation of an incontrovertible paper money, by the establishment of a bank at Buenos Ayres, is also objected to. Paper money has produced its usual effects at Buenos Ayres ; thrown every thing into such con fusion, that the itlercantile Gazette says, it is im possible to publish a correct price current. Mistak ing the rise of prices consequent on a depreciation of the currency, for an evidence of extortion on the part of dealers, the editor calls on the police to in terfere and punish those who dare to sell things at their real value, i. e. for what they will bring. The second iviilletin of the Republican army in the Banda Oriental, giving an account of the marches of the different divisions of the troops, from the Ist to the 14th of January, is published in the paper of the 22d. By the 13th, the different divisions of the troops had crossed the Rio Grande. On entering the 13raiilian territory, the General Chief made an address to the army, exhorting them to respect the property and persons of the inha bitants. (From the Baltimore Federal Gazelle.) We have received by the ship Superior, arrived at Providence, files of Lima papers and private advices from Peru to the 20th of December. In the Peruvian of the 9th of December there is a state ment of the celebration which took place in conse quence of the adoption of the new Constitution, as promulgated on ‘a previous day. The principal officers of the Government took their oaths to sup port the Constitution, and great rejoicings, were ma nifested by the people of the capital on this occa sion, which seemed to derive additional feeling from the circumstance of its being the anniversary of the victory of Ayacucho, which gave liberty to the country. The editor of the Peruvian says :—" On this day, the charter of our rights goes into operation to perpetuate the tranquillity of Peru, and to insure peace and plenty throughout this vast Republic. It appears that the Peruvians, as an evidence of their attachment to Bolivar, and confidence in his integrity, have chosen him President for life. It now only remains for this illustrious man to consum mate his fame by declining the acceptance of that great honour, proffered by the generosity and grati tude of a rescued people ; and that this will be his course of conduct we may safely venture to affirm. (Extract of a Letter to the Editor of the Baltimore, Federal Gazette, dated Lima, Dec. 12, 1826.) " Since the recent adoption of the new Consti tution of Peru, which is predicated pretty much upon the one proclaimed in Bolivia, every thing in this country depending upon the consolidation of the Government begins to assume a new appearance. In fact, the constituted authorities of the country are now universally respected, the police well regu lated, and happiness generally diffused, as far as my observation extends, throughout all the ramifications of society. Commerce is rather dull, money scarce, and, in mercantile phraseclogy, times hard.' " MEXICO, FEB. 27.—T0-morrow, it is said, the army will march from this place to Vera Cruz, where they are to embark for your place on their march to Texas to subdue the rebels.—lbid. A letter from Tampico, of March l lth, states, that in consequence of the representations of Mr. Poinsett, our Minister, the Mexican Congress were re-considering their late acts, laying a prohibitory duty on our cotton fabrics. A Bill to repeal those exorbitant duties had passed tie House of Repre sentatives, and it was believed would also pass the Senate. The Mexican Government was about to despatch a body of troops to quell the late disturb ance in Texas. NEW YORK.—COTTON — Since our last notice of this article, there has been a very fair, steady busi ness done in it, at prices nearly the same as those then declared; say Uplands 84 to 94 cts.; Ala bamas 9to 94. and 91, and Orleans 10 to 104. In some cases sellers have obtained a little more than could have been realised last week. The whole business amounts to 5,000 bales, mostly Alabamas, at 9to 91 cts., and Uplands at 9to 94, and a few parcels Orleans 10 to 104 cents, for export. (From the .New Orleans Price Current of March 12.) COTTON.—North Alabama and Tennessee are be coming plentiful, and have, in the opinion of dealers, declined full j cent. per pound and are now dull.— As yet we are unable to report any sales of import ance in that from Mobile. The demand for Louisiana and Mississippi has been fair, particularly for middling and inferior qualities : Ordinary to middling, 8 aSi ; middling to fair, Si a 9 ; fair to good fair, 94- a 10 ; good fair to good, 101 a 11 ; good and fine, 114 a 13 ; fair demand. The sales of the week, including all descriptions have been respectable, though not extensive. We find there is considerable shipping on owners' ac count, which gives the appearance of more doing than there really is. MOBILE, MARCH 17.—Cotton dull the past week.

We received last night the Paris Papers of Friday, and the Etoile dated Saturday morning. The latter contradicts a report which had been alluded to by the Journal des Debats that the National Guard was to be re-organized, which report could hardly have had any foundation, as it appears that the resignation of the Duke DE DOUDEAUVILLE, Minister of the Household, who protested against this measure, has been ac cepted, and his place supplied by the appointment of the Baron de Boui LLIERE ; from which it may be inferred that the Ministry have determined to abide by their determination to get rid of this body, whatever agitation of public feeling it may occasion. The accounts from Spain are, as usual, full of uncertainty respecting her relations with Portu gal. Immediate war between the two countries might be considered certain, if the accounts in the Quotidienne could be depended upon. In another column will be found some ex tracts, and we subjoin the price of the Funds on Friday. FRENCH Furrns, MAT 4.:—Fire per Cents., 100 f. 45c. ; Three per Coots. 70f. 35c. Bank Stock, 2,027 f. 50e. Renter de Naples, '77f. 85c. By the arrival of the Silas Richards at L. verpool, we have received New York papers of the Bth of April, extracts from which will he found in another column. The news from Lima is very satisfactory, as exhibiting the restoration of order and tranquillity in Peru, where BOLIVAIt has been chosen President for life. The ac counts from Buenos Ayres say that the war has been destructive to the commercial interests of that Republic, as well as to those of Brazil. The United States are paying very great atten tion to their naval department. Two dry docks upon a large scale are to be constructed, am 500,000 dollars per annum hays been voted for six years, to be applied to naval purposes. The Journal de St. Petersburg has been re ceived this morning to the 22d April. It ap pears by the annexed tables that the increase o: manufactures in Russia is very rapid . ST. PETERSBURGH, ♦PRIL IS. By an Ukase of March 24, the Senate has promulgated a decision of the Council of the Empire, approved by the Emperor, which renews the Ukase of Jan. 28, 1704, which orders that no corpse shall be buried before the ex piration of three days after death. Prince Lapouchine, President of the Council of the Empire, &c. &c., has just died in this capital. The following table of the importation of Cotton yarn into Russia during the last five years may give an idea of the rapid increase of our manufactures of Cottons, Calicoes, &c. ; the value of these importations amounted in -1822 to Rubles in paper 1823 1824 • 1825 1826 The following is the amount of our own manufactures in 1824 : Woollen Cloth, Kerseymere, Serge, Shawls, Blankets, and other Woollen goods Silks Cottons 37,038,354 Linens . 10,889,504 Total 117,625,754 :roportation of Foreign Manufactures :- 1820. 1824.

On the next day, the river being entirely clear, the navigation was opened with the accustomed solemnities. ODESSA, mAncit 23. Our roads have a very animated appearance. From the 18th to the 20th, 35 vessels have arrived, 17 of which are under the Sardinian flag. These arrivals, and the difficulty of replenishing our warehouses at this season, gives reason to expect that the price of corn will soon rise considerably. Soft wheat was sold yesterday, at 16 rubles per chetwert. MARCH 26 (April 7.)—Odessa has hitherto been de. pendent on the district of Tiraspol, but on the representa tion of Gen. Count Worouzow, a new district has now been formed, of which Odessa is the chief town. The tribunals have just postponed their sittings. PETEMBLIFIGH, AVAIL 17. On the 19th of last month, the brig Nicholas 1., laden with wheat, tallow, and iron, sailed from Odessa, bound for London, being the first Russian vessel that ever made this voyage. BERLIN, APRIL 28. The elevation of Mr. Canning to the dignity of Prime Minister has caused the greatest sensation here, because the previous report of it was contradicted by persons who are usually well informed. Nineteen of the greatest booksellers here have published a declaration in the newspapers that they consider the " Library of the German Classics," advertised at Gotha, as a piracy, and that "they look on the re-printing of works, the proprietors of which reside in the States of the German Confederation, as a despicable trade." BRUSSELS, MAY 5. In the sitting of the States-General, on Tuesday, the President stated that he had expected that the central section would have been able to make its report on the project of law on the land-tax, but that it could not be made at present, because the answers of the Government to some remarks of the sections were not yet received. Mar 2.—We learn that the Duke of Nassau has au thorised the re-establishment of several convents, which formerly existed in his dominions, but which were secu ralised in consequence of the Treaty of Luneville, and the resolution of the Diet at Ratisbon in 1808. This re trograde step towards past ages causes the more surprise, as that Sovereign professes the Protestant religion, and has mver manifested the smallest inclination to return to the Roman Catholic Church. GIIENT, MAY 4.- Last Monday a manufacturer at Tarcoing having pro posed to reduce the wages of his men, they refused to work, and having been joined by the workmen of other manufactories, went to their masters, and broke their win dows and looms. The Gendarmes, to the number of 2I or 30, dispersed the rioters, who were 800 or 700 in number. Were the Ex-Party likely to take the line, of fair, candid, and honourable opponents, we should be far above endeavouring to strengthen our argument by exposing their character and motives. Had Mr. PEEL persevered, when out of office, in the same manly career which distin guished him when Secretary for the Home De partment, ve should have lent our humble aid in recording his name as a benefactor of the English Nation, when invested with power, and as afford ing, by his readiness to resign it, a s atisfactory proof that he considered its possession not as a perquisite, but as an important and onerous trust. But Mr. PEEL has not evinced the high spirit which we expected from him, and by putting forward his connections to say what he himself would have been ashamed to utter, that Right Hon. Gentleman •has induced us to doubt, whether his former conduct was the result of such a pure unalloyed patriotism, as can alone secure for a Statesman that undefined re versionary interest in the commendations of future ages, which is often his only reward for devoting the best of his dayi to the service of his country. From the sample which last week has afforded, we suspect that the Ultras have resolved on cal ling to their aid the worst passions of their de luded admirers, and that they will not scruple to raise the " No Popery" yell, in order to serve their purposes. It is; therefore, incumbent on us to point out the character and pretensions of some persons who affect to be such. zealous and disinterested patriots. Let us _ analyse, for instance, the patriotism of Sir T. LETH BRIDGE. We have no right to guess what passes in the recesses of the Hon. Baronet's mind, but from his reported speeches we are authorised to say that were it left to Sir T. LETHBRIDGE, the people of England would never see the quarter of corn less than five or six pounds. They might starve or live on potatoes, like the poor Irish, though of what importance could that be if Sir T. LETHBRIDGE'S rents were raised, and along with them his power of pur chasing the luxuries of life. But as a set off for this apparent selfishness, they must consider that he votes fiercely against , the Catholics ; and will not that cover a multitude of sins ? /It would, . however, be useless to multiply examples of men substituting this in the room of every -other claim to the name of patriot. We do not mean to say that there are not many conscientious opposers of the Catholic Claims; but they are not the persons likely to raise the " No Popery" cry, and are satisfied with a manly expression of their sentiments on proper occasions. On the other hand, we may assert that the opposite party cannot be charged with selfishness in being advocates for Emancipation. There is nothing to be gained on the hustings or else where by expressing a sympathy for the suffer Tugs of Ireland. d The Allgenzeinc Zcitung of the 29th April, received yesterday, says, the - Porte has filially declared to the Russian and English Ambassa dors, that the Porte will never consent to an in tervention of any kind whatever, and will sooner perish. Mr. S. CANNING and M. de RIBEAIP. PIERRE acknowledged the receipt of the Note, and immediately left Pera, and went into the coun try. They first had conferences with the other European Ministers, perhaps to invite them to act in concert with them, for which, however, the latter seem to intend to wait for instructions. AUSTRIAN FUNDS, Amu , t4.-11eta11ignes, 694 ; Bank Shares, 1,0'75. We have been favoured with the following extract of a letter from Vera Cruz, dated the Ist March, and received this morning:— There has been a little misunderstanding between this Gcvernment and Mr. Poinsett (the American Envoy), on the subject of an insurrection at Novadoches, the boundary of our territory. Report says that Mr. P. knew very well all going on there, but that he kept it to himself. The President is much annoyed at his conduct. and they look shy at each other. All will be remedied by the prompt and energetic measures taken by this Government to punish the rebels ; for the rest every thing continues quiet in the Republic. The treaties will be read in Con gress next week, notwithstanding all the intrigues of the American party to have them first arranged, and by what I have been able to collect, will be immediately ratified. Owing to the present excitement of public, feeling throughout the country, we have been in duced to give for some days the Parliamentary Debates up to the latest hour which the depar-, ture of the Mail would allow, in a second Edition of our Paper, and it is gratifying to find that our exertions have been appreciated, as will be seen by the annexed extracts : The Styx published a full report of Mr. Peel's speech in a very short time after it was spoken, and also the contents of the London Gazette on Tuesday evening—an ex traordinary and highly creditable exertion.—Freeman's. Journal. So great was the interest excited by the debate on Tues day night, that some of the Evening Papers continued their impression till past seven o'clock. The Sus, a spirited and active paper, published a pretty full report of Mr. Peel's speech, in time for the country posts of that even, ing.—Scotsman. We have frequently noticed, of late, the great exertions made by the Suw newspaper to give to the country the earliest information on matters a, public importance; but particularly with respect to the receut-changes_.in the nistry. In a 4econd edition of that paper of last Tuesday, not only the Gazette of the same evening is given, but also a full report of the speech made by Mr. Peel, .a few mo ments after it was delivered. This was an effort not only creditable to the spirit with which the Sul( is conducted, but also to the talents by which it has been effected, and may be considered an.cxertion unprecedented even by the London Press.—Dublin Patriot. THE " SUN" NEWSPAPER.—It would be an injustice to this print not to state, that the report of Mr. Peel's speech, which is published in ths various Dublin Papers, is taken from its columns. It is given in a second edition of the SUN, published at half-past seven on Tuesday even ing. It is a great deal longer, and apparently more accu rate, than any report conveyed through a private channel. —Morning Register. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, Twelve o' Clock. The British Funds continue to have but few transac tions, and the speculators avoid any important business for the present, tinder an impression that some early informa tion will be given on the subject of the Finance of the country, which is a point at present which occupies a very considerable portion of the monied interest in the City.

There is to be an entire change of Administration, Sir Thomas Lethbridge, Sir Thomas Gooch, and Sir Edward Knatchbuli, are spoken of as the new Secretaries of State. The office of First Lord of the Treasury, it is said, will be abolished, in which case the triumvirate of Baronets will, as heretofore, transact business.—without a bead. Workmen are employed to secure the roof of the House of Lords, lest the accumulated heroism of a certain Gallant Marquis, having found, no vent since the Peace, should uncover their Lordships, as it exposes himself. The Ex-Ministers intend to move an Address to the Throne, that a negotiation may be opened with the Sub lime Porte to effect an exchange of the Catholic population of Ireland for an equal number of Turks; Ultra Orthodox Statesmen prefer infidels to Catholics-,- • De gustibus non est.disputandum• • . To allay the irritability occasioned by the loss of office, Mr. Dawson has been advised to devote himself to some literary pursuit, and he accordingly intends to edit a new edition of Paradise Last. His Royal Highness the Lord High Ad miral visited this forenoon his Majesty s Dock and Victualling Yards, at Deptford. The Duke and Duchess of Clarence visited the Princess Augusta yesterday. We are informed that the resources of the Go vernment of Mexico are more than equal to all their present public obligations. It appears from official returns (brought by the Tweed), that the amount of Exports from Mexico, during the years 1625, 1826, to the 30th of January, 1827, was as follows : Gold and Silver Bars, from Vera Cruz... 5,260,100 Ditto, from Tampico Cochineal, from Vera Cruz 750,000 Probable amount of Bills drawn ......... 11,000,000 The Exports from Vera Crnz, on Merchants' Accounts, from 20th December, 1825, to 30th January, 1827, were 849,108 On account of Government . 1,283,000 (viz. Pyramus, 283,0001.; lhosar,soo,ooo/.; Tweed, 500,000/.) Exported from Tampico, in silver and gold, from January 1, to 30th September, 1826 1,070,384 Besides wrought plate, clandestine exports, &c KING'S THEATRE. The announcement of Madame Pasta brought_ together a fuller and more fashionable house on Sa-. turday night than has been seen during the present season. " Semiramide" was the performance ori ginally advertised, but the indisposition of Signors Galli and Curioni compelled the Proprietor to sub stitute the first act of Rossini's " Il Tancredi," and the third act of Zingaretti's " Romeo e Giulietta."' Madame Pasta's performance of Tancred, in the former Opera, was always one of het: most in tellectual and refined exhibitions, and on this occasion preserved all its wonted ability. In the exquisite air, " Di tanti Palpiti," she intro-, duced new and appropriate beauties, which called down a most enthusiastic encore. Her reci tative, too, of " 0 patria I dolce e ingrata Patria," was characterised by intense fervour of expression. In the " Romeo e Giulietta," the impassioned sor rows of Romeo found an adequate representative in Madame Pasta, who throughout her performance, particularly at its close, received the most unequi vocal proofs that she is as great a favourite as ever with the public. ROYAL EXHIBITION, O.3IER3ET-HOUSE. An immense crowd was assembled this morning in the neighbourhood of Somerset-House, to witness the opening of the fifty-ninth Exhibition of the Royal Academy. As a whole, it is superior to last year's ; but there are no individual pictures (unless we except the portrait of Mrs. Peel, painted by Sir Thomas Lawrence, which is in his best manner) that can compare with two—we forget their names—in the preceding Exhibition. Among the most prominent, is Hilton's picture of the Cruci fixion, which in point of conception, nature, and general felicity of colours, is really superb.—We must, however, except the figure of Christ, which ap pears too consumptive, this is clearly a mistaken notion, for however worn down by bodily suffering, still we cannot help looking on the incarnate Christ as a Deity. The female groupes in the foreground are remarkably fine, so is the head which is looking up in profile towards Christ.-- A portrait of Sir. Walter Scott is also correct as a likeness, and presents very happily. the drooping weight of thought and calm seriousness of expression so indicative of the ori ginal. Pickergill, Mulready, Howard, Phillips, and Tur ner, are among the number of those whose genius adorns the present exhibition. The last, in particular (justly styled our English. Claude) has contributed noless than five paintings, one of which, " Passengers going on Board," is fraught with amusing interest. (To be continued.) SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CHESTER RACES, 1827.

EXTRAORDINARY PECRFORMA NCE.—Jalllei Wild, aged 44 years, performed for a wager of 10 guineas, the follow ing feat:—To walk in a pair of wooden clogs, ironed, weighing 4 pounds, from Manchester to London, in five days. He was to start without money, and to beg his way. He started from Manchester, on Sunday morning, the 22d ult., at 10, through Buxton, Ashbourn, Derby, &c., and arrived at Messrs. Pickford's Wharf, City-road, London, on Friday morning, at 4 o'clock, 6 hours within the time allowed. LAW INTELLIGENCE:-(THIS DAV.) COURT OF CHANCERY. TIME. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat precisely at a quarter past ten o'clock. At this • time there was not one King's Counsel in Court, and only two or three juniors. Mr. RUSSEL rose and stated, that his Lordship had given Mr. Sugden leave to make a motion for an injunction to-day at the sitting of the Court, in a case in which, if the injunction was ,not granted , execution would issue. He was with Mr. Sugden in that case; but neither Mr. Sugden nor Mr. Heald, who was to oppose the motion, were pre sent, he (Mr. Russel) supposed in consequence of some misunderstanding as to when the Court would sit; he wished to know whether his Lordship would permit the case to be brought before him in an hour or two afterwards, when the other Gentlemen might be in Court. His LORDSHIP—Look at the clock, Mr. Russel. Mr. RussEL—Why, my Lord, I apprehend the Bar were not aware whether your Lordship meant to sit at ten, or a quarter-past; or at half-past, espe cially as the Court had not been in the habit hereto fore of sitting on a Monday morning before half-past ten. His LORDSHIP-0, then that accounts for it- We will proceed with the appeal paper at present. Mr. SUGDEN and Mr. HEALD both made their appearance soon afterwards, and on the former's at tempt to make the motion, Mr. Heald objected to' it, on the ground of not having had sufficient notice- It was ordered to stand over till to-morrow. RODNEY V. NIXON.-•- , -A WARD. Mr. SMDEN stated, that in this case a young lady wished to change her condition of life, but as her ability to do so, depended on his Lordship's jndgment upon- the documents that had been said before him, (containing a proposed settlement on the part of the young man's friends) he hoped he might be excused for calling his Lordship's sato' tion to the case.- His LORDSHIP promised to give his immediate consideration. PIINDMARSH D. SOUTHCATE. Mr. HEALD and Mr.. WRAY appeared for the ar pellants in this case.. An account had been di rected, by the Court below, to be taken in the Master's office, against a lady of the name of Ma rianne Abbott (afterwards Mrs. Southgate), during her minority, which she complained of, contending that, if any, account at all was directed to be taken,. it ought to be against the persons to whom she had formerly accounted. Mr. Heald's point, therefore , wad, that the decree should be set aside, o r that leave ought to be given to make those other persons parties to the suit, to whom the lady had accounted , and who had not been made parties to the original bill. It was stated that Mr. RouPEL was on the other side, but that gentleman not appearing, His LORDSHIP directed a messenger to go into the other Courts to try to find Mr. Roupel, and t° inform him that the Court here was sitting. Mr ' Roupel was not to be found.. His LORDSHIP observed that he would give • little indulgence this morning, because he had a few minutes ago been informed that the Court had not been in the habit of sitting so early on a Mondel ! morning. Mr. HEALD was not aware that there had been any difference made between Monday and any other morning. His LORDSHIP had been told there had. Mr. HEALD believed the fact to be, that for a considerable time past the Lord Chancellor had no t sat till nearer half-past ten than ten on any morning' His LORDSHIP observed that, the Lord Chancel lor had frequently had something to do before he entered the Court in the mornings, but that he be lieved he had always been here at ten o'clock. Mr. HEALD believed that he very seldom had ever been later in getting to his chambers in Linco lns ' Inn, than ten o'clock, and he had never heard that the Lord Chancellor had got down before him. His LORDSHIP ordered another enquiry to be made if Mr. Roupel had arrived. Perhaps that gentleman meant to desert the cause. The Solicitor who had employed Mr. Roupel made the enquiry, and on his return he said Mr' Roupel had not yet arrived ; he had had full notice of the appeal coming on, and was expected every minute. His LORDSHIP.—Then I shall make the order now prayed, for I will not suffer the business of the Court to be interrupted, because Counsel do not choose t c ' attend BARER V. IiANBURY. Mr. WAKEFIELD appeared for the responden ts ' who represented the interest of an infant. • His LORDSHIP enquired if an y p e rson appealed for the appellants? Mr. WAKEFIELD did not find that any one ar pearecl at that moment, but he knew it wag tended to argue the case, which involves a very il l " portant question. The question arose upon the construction of the late Mr. Baker's will, to whom almost all the houses about Portman-square had belonged. iii Mr. HORNE did not know there was any paper the Registrar's office, by which the profession at large might kaow what business the Court meant t ° go upon. He believed that the profession were taken by surprise, by this sweeping mode of going through the appeals, because he knew there w er , appeals in th e paper of to-day which were inten ded to be effective, but in which the parties were o°t present. His LORDSHIP—There arc a great many apPe alj : and I think I cannot do better than to sit to 1 1 ° - them. Mr. HORNE felt this, but he wished to know Wp c ' tiler the profession at large had been let known the intention of the Court. His LORDSHP made some inquiry of the Registra r, in a low tone of voice, and then botanic,- directed t he appeal to he struck out of the paper. In the course of $ couple of hours afterwards, Mr. Roupel entered the Court in breathless haste, and apologised for his lib': sence. He had left town on Saturday evening, and voit having having had notice that the appeal in Hilly marsh v. Southgate was to come on this mornill'. he had not felt it incumbent on him to have been l" Court at its sitting. His LORDSHIP desired to know why his clien t had not given him notice. Mr. ROUPEL said his client had not himself re ceived notice from the Registrar's office till S a tin"' day afternoon, when he immediately wrote a note tf Mr. Roupel conveying the notice to him, but w hich note he had not received till about half an hour se His LORDSHIP considered the excuse, under thel circumstances, valid, and ordered the appeal to 0 0 . again for hearing on Saturday morning. He cove dered it would he most desirable that a more ef t tended notice could he given to the profession, th e a repetition of such mistakes might be p reve nted. uo Mr. HEALD, from the same cause, namely, " appeals being now on the wing,"—(laughter)-- - M e o been obliged to break the sabbath, (which be l i e , never been in the habit of doing, except from ti, e ; cessity) by having had to occupy all yesterdeY j reading the papers in Smith v. Lord Rodney, s°„ which, after all, he had hardly made himself (Pa t .', master of, therefore as it stood next, he hoped ti' Court would forgive him if he should in his st ate ment omit some of the minor points.
