lioltin:0 IN_ JO URNALS. DAILY Extracts from the llor•nmg Papers, Oct. 22, 1825. . . [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] We have received several sets of German Papers, as well as - the Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday ; but they contain nothing of particular importance. An article from St. Pe tersbe4rgh, in a Hamburgh Paper, announces the arrival of. a - Courier, With important dispatches froin the Russian Ambassador iu London, which were immediately forwarded to the emperor.— The subject is not mentioned ; and their impor tance is probably mere matter of conjecture, founded upon the circumstance of their being for warded without any delay to his Imperial Ma iesty.- We know of no other question . which can constitute, at. this time, the object of a very ani mated correspondence between the two Courts, but that of the Greeks ; and upon this the con duct of our Cabinet cannot give much um brage to the Russian or any other legitimate Government. if there be any truth, however, in a statement, which appears both in the French and German Papers, the Greeks will be able henceforth to dispense with foreign protection, and to settle their quarrel with their former masters without the interference of a third party. According to this statement, discord *rages to such a pitch amongst the enemies of the Greeks in the Mores, that the Turks, who form part of the army under Ibrahim Pacha, have dis owned his authority, and wholly separated them selves from the Egyptians, with whom they re fuse to co-operate.—The origin of this discord was a quarrel between the Pacha and Hussein Bey, his second in command, which at last trans ported the former to such an excess of rage, that be shot the latter dead with a piStol. The Diario di • Roma gives the same news ; and we suspect that the French and German Papers copied it from that Journal. Corfu, however, appears to have been the fountain head of the rumour, where it prevailed on the 18th ult., ac cording to a letter of that date from the island ; but there are advices in tewn from Smyrna of the same date, which make not the slightest allusion „either to the quarrel, or its fatal consequences. The account, had it been true, might have reached one place as soon as the other ; and un fortunately for its credit, neither time, nor place, is assigned to an act, which would wholly de range the plans, and probably destroy the hopes, of the Egyptian Chief. One of the Paris Papers, Which'gives intelligence of a later date from the lonian Islands, represents the Turco-Egyptian army,instead of being rendered wholly inactive in consequence of its division, as acting offensive ly, and laying waste the district of Maine, (the ancient Lacedemon) kith fire and sword. This intelligence, however, would, even if true, be favoura ble to the Greek cause ; because it proved, in the first place, that Ibrahim Paella had aban dOned for the present all idea of attacking Napoli di Romania ; and in the next, that the number of his enemies had increased ; as it is not pro bable that he would chastise the people of Maine, unless they had joined the common catise to wards which they had before shewn an unac ca,untable apathy. [MO R NINO POST.] As we had anticipated, tha severity of the weather prevented, for nearly two days, all com, rriunications between France and this country. — The passage was effected, but not without diffi culty, yesterday, and French Papers to the 19th instant, together with the . Etoile of Wednesday, reached us by Express. Though, es - we had stated, nothing calculated to excite alarm has :occurred o.n the Continent during this short inter val, yet the intelligence is more important than usual, as it announces the death of one of the reigning Monarchs, and that of the heir to the Crown of another State. On the 13th of the .pres - eitt month, six days, we believe, after the - , coronation of his daughter as Queen of Hungary, the' Kiiig.of Bavaria was seized with an apoplectic fit in his capital, which in a few hours put an end to his existence, when he Was succeeded by his son, Prince Charles Louis Augustus. The deceased Monarch,MaximilianJoseph, was born on the 27th .of May, 1756. and served in France as Colonel of -the Regiment of Alsace until 1790, when 'he quiteed that country, then a prey to the first ex cesses'Of the Revolution, and accepted of a post in Alle Anst rian army. In 1798 the existing Elector of Bavaria, Charles Theodore, took part against France, when Maximilian Joseph: fol lowed his fortunes, and also combated in defence of the independence of Germany. On the Ist of April 1795, he succeeded his brother Charles Duke Of Deux-Ponts, and became pro prietor of the regiment which bore his name. On the 16th of February, 1799, his uncle, Charles Theodore haying (lied without children, his pos sissions descended to the House of Deux-Ponts, and Maximilian succeeded him. Ills first wife was a" PrillresS of Hesse' Darmstadt, who died young, 1,1 vio t ; him two sons and two daughters. His second w ife was a Princess of Baden. Ile had 110 sooner attained the Supreme Power (as Elector of Bavaria) than, by'the advice of his Prime Minister, M. de Montgelas, he suppressed the privileges and immunities of the Nobility and the . Clergy, formed numerous clintritable esta, blishments and abolished the Mendicant Or-1 ders, a reform which he did . not effect without experiencing much difficulty. In 1802. he so far entered into the views of the French Consular Government, that he forbade the residence of Russian and French emigrants within his domi nions. 111'1804; in order to please Napoleon, at that time on' the eve of being proclaimed Emperor, het commanded our Ambassador, it N. Drake, to quit his territories, and, in 18Q5, he' not only refused to aid Aus tria in her war against France, but aban doned his capital, and joined the armies of the latter;" by which he was soon brought back - in - -triumph, and received, as a reward for his fidelity and co-operatiOn, the title of King mirth considerable extension of territory, em bracing-the whole of the Tyrol. He then con chided' a defensive and offensive alliance with his Great Protector, gave his eldest daughter to his 1 ,adopted son, Eugene Beauharnais, and when the war of 1809 broke out, assisted him with all his military power. He also contributed his propor tion of troops to th• invading army which perish ed in the wilds and snows of RUSSIA, and yet ultimately seceded from the cause of his liberal, but restless ambitious Benefactor, and by his de fection in the campaign of 1813, was the cause of ,his flight out of Germany, and in some degree of of his ultimate overthrow. [NEW TimEs.] The French Papers of Monday and Tuesday, with the Etoile dated Wednesday, were received yesterday. The French Funds have declined a little. The closing prices of the Fives and Threes, on 'Tuesday, were as fallow : Five per Cents. 99f. 80c.; Three per Cents. 71f. 75c. It appears from these Papers, that propositions have been made to the King of Spain by the Am. bassadors of England and France, for the recog nition of South American Independence ; but Ferdinand was inexorable. According to, one ac count. a counter proposition was made by the Spa nish Minister. The King of Bavaria, it will be seen, is dead. His Majesty was seized with an apoplec tic tit, on the 13th of this month. He w a s i n hi s 70th year. He is succeeded by the Prince Royal of Bavaria, who was born in 1786, and married, in 1810, a Princess of the House of Saxe-Hildburghausen. A similar cala►nity has caused the death of the Prince de Carignan, cousin to the heir presumptive to the Sardinian 'throne, and a General Officer in the French service. He was found dead in his carriage, on arriving at his house in Paris. cnnoNist.E.l 'Extract from a letter dates i Bayonne, Oct. 12.—" Yesterday passed through this place M. Tassin de Orleans, the principal agent for the 'Loan the Spanish Government is endeavouring to obtain, under the immediate auspic e s of M. de Villele. As the proipect in France for these operations is not the most brilliant at this moment, it is probable that he will he in London before this reaches you. lie has had very Jong conferences with M. Zea Bermudez, and it is con fidently said, that fie will endeavour to carry his object into effect with certain houses in the British capital, without whose co-operation the atteMpt . to borrow money on the credit of Spain would be useless, and hence it is believed, that he is'instructed to acknowledge the debts of the Cortes. The houses which have hitherto inte rested themselves in the projected loan for Spain, are Messrs. Rougeinoiit and Lowenberg, and also M. Aguatio, of Paris, as well as Bartareche, of this place. Without the aid of British capitalists, however, they could never succeed, as they have been trying now for some time, and in England, it is well known that the recognition of the bonds of the Cortes is a sine qua non. It is there fore believed, that Ferdinand has relaxed on this point. Perhaps the Consultative Junta have ad vised him to be a little more pliant—the Govern ment not having the command of a dollar, and most of the Functionaries unpaid and cla morous." Letters from Paris mention' that the noted Cacique of Poyais has cut and run. After a series of dexterous intrigues, his Highness the Prince, of the Mosquito Shore has succeeded in getting a vessel at Havre, on board of which he was very humanely shipping a number of deluded French families, to whom he had most bounteously dealt out extensive tracts of rich and luxuriant lands in Poyais, overflowing with millCand honey.— The French Police, who are not, perhaps, so de licate, on these subjects, as we are in England, finding that hiS Highne'ss was about to add to the long list of victims he had already made, sent to arrest him, together with his Secretaries. Two of the latter were secured ; but his Highness, be ing informed, by a servant, of what was passing, had the good luck to escape. His carriages, it would seem, were seized and sold, a' few days previous to this event.—(lbid.) ET/1E TIMES.] The French papers of Monday and Tuesday, which have been retarded in their arrival for the last two days by the inclemency of the weather, reached us last night. They communicate an ac count of the death of the King .of Bavaria, who has not, probably, left a more wise, enlightened, or virtuous Prince behind him on any throne in Europe. Raised by Buonaparte to the regal dig nity in 1805, he remained faithful to his engage ments with the Emperor as long as the honour of his crown and the interests of his subjects would permit ; and on the establishment of peace he was one of the few Sovereigns who fulfilled to his people the promises made in war. The constitutional checks which he imposed on his own power showed that he had no disposition to abuse it ; and the liberty of the press which he conferred on the people proved that he entertained no apprehension from a free discussion of conduct. The authority of the Chamber and the fredom of the press have since been greatly curtailed, if not substantially anni hilated ; but the Bavarian nation owe these poli tical privations, not to any change in the pater nal fe e lin g s o f th e i r l a t e sovereign, but to the alarms of th e G erman ic Diet, and the predomi nance of Austrian influence. Maximilian Joseph showed great simplicity and good taste in his mode of life, mixed in the so ciety of his subjects like one of thorn selves, and was viewed by them as much in the character of a friend as of a Sovereign.— Ile is succeeded by his son the Prince Royal (Charles . Louis Augustus), who was a good deal in France during the reign of Buunaparte, who has since travelled or resided a good deal in Italy, and h as a l wa y s b een con sidered an amia ble, well- mean i ng man, though no conjuror,-- His late Bavarian Majesty was born on the 27th of May, 1756, and was consequently at his death upwards of 69 years of age. His successor is 89. We can only bespeak attention to a paragraph respecting king Ferdinand, and his claims to the obedience of the new republics of America. To comment upon it seriously, would be to partak of its absurdity. [EMMY PRESS.] We have received New York and Boston papers to the 24th ult. They bring no political intelligence of the least importance from either the Northern or Southern Continent of America. The dispute - between the General Government of the United States and the Governor of Georgia is suspended for _the present, in consequence of the promise of the latter that no encroachments shall be made on the lands of the Creeks, until the question regarding gie late treaty can be submitted to the - Congress, which will meet in December. A letter in one of the Boston papers, from Buenos Ayres, dated July 18th, mentions, that the Government had proposed to the Brazilian' Commodore to send a Minister to the Court of Brazil to settle any differences that might exist between the two States, and that, in conse quence, the Brazilian squadron had disappeared off Buenos Ayres, with the exception of a single frigate. It adds, that the patriot General, La va Ileja, had gained a victory over a party of Bra zilians from Rio Grande. A New York Paper gives the following account in explanation of the recommencement of hostilities 'between the Castle and City of Vera Crnz :—" It will be recollected, that the ship called the Victoria was purchased by the Mexican Government lately at London,brought here, fitted out, manned, and proceeded . to Vera Cruz. Upon her arrival at that city, she, by previous concert, hoisted French colours, and a sham attack was made upon her by some boats be.longing to the Mexicans, which she beat off add bore down upon the Castle, from whence three gun-boats were sent out to her, and one of which came alongside, when the Victoria struck the French, and hoisted the Mexican colours, and took one of the gun-boats, while the other two escaped. The event was celebrated by salvos of artillery in the city, when immediately the castle opened a tire upon it, and at the sailing of the British schooner Rene gade, was continued with energy. Previous to this, daily intercourse took place between the city and castle, which was fully expected to lead to a surrender ;' but this late act seems to have put an end to it. The castle is not in want, as has been represented, and a reinforcement was expected from the Havannah. L M ORN I NCi Neither ridicule- nor shame seems to have any effect upon the majority of persons who, in the shape of Directors, Bankers, Auditors, Secreta ries, &c., have got possession of large sums from the credulous people who were weak enough to . he induced, under the colour of .specious pro spectuses and respectable names, to pay deposits on shares in various speculations which have made no progress ; and some of which, it would now . seem, were never intended to advance beyond the receipt of such deposits. A humourous writer, in a .Morning Paper, says, that the immense' timber ship,. the Baron of Renfrew (if she has not been lost on the Godwin Sands) bas been en gaged, instead of taking out the weighty Gover nor-General to. India, to transport a cargo of those people to New South Wales ; slily mean ing, no doubt, that some of them as richly de serve to go there, as some others whom the sen tence of the law sends there for obtaining money under false pretences ; and that, at all events; a kind ,of self-expatriation might be more agreeable' to most of them, than the liability of Mixing in the world with the people whose money they have so discreditably obtained. We must confess that Meetings such as we :allude to must be extremely awkward and distressing to any man of the least honour or sensibility. had we been dabblers in such things, and were doomed to sit next ie company to one of the per sons, through .the supposed respectability of whose name and character we had been induced to part with our money, and who had since ne glected or refused to return or - account for it, we should ,be very apt to doubt the real respectabili ty of our neighbour, and to wish ourselves out of his society. There are, it must be admitted, some few exceptions to this censure. These are one or two instances in which the. Directors, finding the. idea not likely to succeed, have returned the whole of the deposits without any deduction; and others who have returned them, deducting sundry charges. But the greater_ part have done neither the one nor the other,. and have refused and have been told of an in stance cc nc a ei o n tn :s t hich the applicant, being somewhat importunate, was told that he might file a bill in Chancery. This'll adding:insult to injury, and reflects but little credit upon those who can re sort to such a mode, of reply ; for it may he taken as an axiom, that an honest man will always do that willingly which he, can otherwise be com pelled to do. We do not particularize any of the schemes we allude to, though that; from the let ters we have received from various sufferers would be easy enough. But we strongly recommend the numerous persons to whom these remarks more or less apply, to lose no more time upon the subject, but to hasten to redeem themselves from the imputation of deserving to form part of the suppoted future cargo of the Baron of Renfrew. An unmanly ruffian secreted himself in Miss unworthy wien FOOTE'S b e d- c h am b er th e o th er even i ng , a t h e r hotel ) in Edinburgh, most undoubtedly for an l purpose. Miss Foote had retired to rest, this person was discovered by the nOISO and confusion he made in moving from his hiding place. The lady immediately called out, and alarmed the house, but, the ruffian escaped before any body arrived ; there is, however, some clue by which it is thought he will be discovered. CAUTION TO CEURCHWARDENS.—Mr:W. Band, churchwarden of the Parish of Kenton, was fined in a mitigated penalty, on the complaint of the Overseers, for not attendin! , to pay the poor, agreeably to notice given in the church. The defendant pleaded as an excuse, that he had been attacked with a bowel complaint, in proof of which he produced a note from his medical at tendant. The Bench, however, conceived he, ought to have attended, unless his illness was so severe as to confine him to his apartm ent, which from evidence, did not appear to have been the case.—(Alfred.) LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, OCT. 21. BOLLAND AND OTHERS, ASSIGNEES, &C. V. BYGROVE. The plaintiffs in this cause were the assignees of the estate and effects of Messrs. Marsh, Stracey, and Fauntleroy, and the action was brought to recover the sum of 3371. las., being :the amount of a bill of exchange, of which the defendant was acceptor. 'The case was one of rather a complicated nature, and its whole progress was of a very desultory nature. The facts as well as could be collected were these: a Mr. Diver nier kept a banking account with Messrs. Marsh, Stracey, and Co. previous to their • bankruptcy, of which account the late Mr. Fauntleroy had the management. Mr. Divernier, it appeared, had been accommodated by Marsh and Co. with a loan of four thousand pounds, and had in return de- posited certain bills of exchange ; the prindipal agent in , this transaction, on the part of Mr. Divernier, was a Mr. Deguine, who was the person who deposited the bill of ' exchange in question with Mr. Fauntleroy as one of the part- nen; of the firm of Marsh and Co., and the first question was whether that gentleman left the bill of exchange for the actual purpose of having it discounted, or whether he merely de posited it for safety, as is usual by the customers of a bank. mg-house ; the bill was deposited on the afternoon of the day previous to that on which the late Mr. Fauntleroy was appre hended on the charge of forgery, and the bill had been regu larly entered both in the pass book and the discount book as a discounted bill, but the witness who left it denied positively that it was discounted, but that it was to have been discounted at a I subsequent period. The Learned Counsel therefore submitted that the fact of Mr. Fauntleroy entering the bill as a discounted bill would not give the plaintiffs any title to it, inasmuch as it was merely an act of a party through whom the plaintiffs claimed title, and he also contended that the onus probandi laid with the plaintiffs which they had not proved, because they had not shewn any consideration given by the bankrupts for the bill in question. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE was of opinion, that the fact of the bankrupts having advanced, as bankers, a sum of money to a Mr. Divernier, that the presumption in law would be, that they, the bankers, would have a general lien on all paper be longing to Mr. Divernier that might come to their possession, and he thought that such lien would give them power to sue; he, however, gave this opinion as the present impression on his mind, subject to any revision that might be thought neces sary. " This, added his Lordship, "is my opinion, sitting as a Judge in a Court of Law ; I do not say that another tribu nal, differently constituted to a Court of Law, might not put another construction on it, but I do not think that it could. However, I give my opinion cautiously, and am open to cor rection. I consider, therefore, that I should not be justified in directing a nonsuit in this case." Mr. GURNEY then addressed the Jury for the defendatt.— He had another point to call their attention to, and he ap proached it with reluctance, because he considered it might wound the feellings of some parties. , The point was this— that both the commissions of bankruptcy issued against Messrs. Marsh, Stracey, and Co., as well as against the late Mr. Faunt leroy *ere concerted commissions between those parties and the petitioning creditor; and if he established this fact, it would do away with the ,present action altogether; for if the commission under which the assignees claimed their title was concocted in fraud, the assignees could not make any claim under it. The Learned Gentleman then proposed to shew by evidence, that the denial of Marsh, Stracey, and Graham, which constituted the act of bankruptcy by them, as well as the exe cution by Mr. Fauntleroy, a day or two previous to the trial, of &deed which constituted the act of bankruptcy on his part, *ere altogether the result of concert and klulusion, and for the mere purpose -of grounding a commission. Several witnesses were then called to substantiate the charge of the Commissions of Bankruptcy being concerted, but the proof entirely failed, and the. Jury fOund a verdict for the plaintiffs for the whole amount of principal and interest. _ Mr. SCARLETT, who was for the Plaintiffs, observed after the verdict, that there was an anomaly regarding the bankrupt laws which he never could reconcile, and that was regarding concerted commission. He really did not understand what that was. Another anomaly had occurred to him, which was this--why a bankrupt, who had obtained his certificate, should be admitted as a witness for his assignees, when one who had not obtained his certificate could not be admitted a witness. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—Your first anomaly is now done away with altogether, because, by the new Bankrupt Laws, all concert is done away with, for a party may now de clare himself to be a bankrupt, and have a commission issued against himself. ~COURSE OF EXCIIANGE, Oct. 21.

Several persons, who saw the unfortunate man fall, immediately ren dered their assistance, and conveyed him into Mr. Davis's, the Spanish Patriot public-house, corner of Green-street, when sur gical aid .was sent for, and he was bled, but to no purpose, as only a few drops came from him. The unfortunate man had in the morning been attending to his usual avocations, and ap peared in good health. He has left a wife and three children to deplore his loss. THE 'MURDER IN SHADWELL.—The Inquisi- I tion which it was thought would have taken place on Thurs day evening, on the body of the young man named Barton, whom we mentioned yesterday as having been murdered by his grandfather, did not sit until one o'clock yesterday, when the Coroner, J. UNWIN, Esq., accompanied by the Churchwardens lay ju r the house where the and Parish Overseers, and a highly respectable Jury, assembled at the Crooked Billet public-house , to make the necessary in qruoicryeedtoeud to touching the t event.fialetabloayvi in being empannelled, p deed was perpetrated, pnd on their -return from this melan choly part of their duty, after having heard evidence, returned a verdict of " Manslaughter."—ln the evening the prisoner was brought up for final examination to the Thames Office, when he was fully committed on the capital charge. During the proeeedings on the Inquisition the Court was extremely crowded. RESTIVE HORSE.—On Friday week as Mr. T. Seilick, road surveyor under Mr. M'Adam (who has been stationed at Four-stones, near H ex ham, for the last twelve months) was re turning from Haltwhistle homeward, on com ing upon the middle of the bridge u hich crosses the burn at the east end of that town, his horse reared up on t h e b att l ement , an d h e was precipitated into the burn, which being much swollen with the rain that had fallen in the early part of the (lay, bore him down so rapidly, that, notwithstanding the utmost exertion, he was drowned.—(Leeds Independent.)
