FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Itioniteur.) PABIs, itrwit 10.—The Minister of the Interior has just addressed the following circular to the Prefects of Calvados and La Manche : " Sta,—l rejoice with you at the good effect produced by the measures which his Majesty has ordered to put an end to the criminal manmuvres which disturb the tran quillity of your department. It is agreeable to me to learn that the fires become less frequent ; that the inves tigations of the officers of justice have not been fruitless, and that the population of the country, encouraged by the vigilant protection which they receive from the public authorities, are hastening to return to their labours. " In order to obtain, with greater speed and certainty, a still more complete result, I authorise you to publish the promise of a pecuniary reward to whoever shall procure the arrest of any individual who shall have made proposals, given money, or furnished inflammable substances, to in duce, or to facilitate the consummation of these crimes. " I intend to solicit from the just benevolence of the King, favours of another kind, when the occasion shall pre sent itself. " The tribunals, whose indefatigable zeal has so powerfully seconded yours, will have, besides, to examine whether article 108 of the Penal Code, by virtue of which exemption from all punishment is given to such of the authors and accomplices of crimes affecting the internal security of the kingdom, who have given information of the intended crime, or procured the arrest of the guilty, ought not to be applied to the facts, and to the persons that I have just spoken of.—Accept, Sir, &c., &c., " DE PEYRONNET." (From the Gazette de France.) Several Officers of Administration have arrived from the Mores, where their services would be no longer useful, and, immediately after their arrival in France, have been designated for the army in Africa ; they will depart in the first steam-boat that shall set out for that country. A Liberal Journal has published the following details, which, we have reason to think, are pretty near the truth : A letter from our blockading squadron off Algiers, dated the 18th May, supplies us with the following parti culars relative to the unfortunate fate of the brigs Le Si lene and L'Aventure:— _ _ " The brig, Le Silent, commanded by Lieut. Bruat, Lad sailed from Mahon on the 13th. We sailed on the 14th, and experienced a frightful storm from the north east. On the 16th we came in sight of Cape Bingut, 14 leagues from Algiers. The weather was calm. On ap proaching, we perceived two vessels wrecked on the coast. They were Le Silene and L'Aventure—one of 16 guns, the other of 12. We approached near enough to see that the Bedouins had taken possession of them. This wan dering tribe even fired some musket-shots at us, but with cut reaching us. "Two days afterwards an English brig, coming from Algiers, informed us that 50 of the shipwrecked had been inassal . ed on tl a strand - the moment they had got ashore; that 4:h others bad been led to the city, where they had been subjected to every species of indignity, and after wards beheaded; only 11 had been saved, and had taken refuge in the house of the English Consul; of this number was Lieut. Bruat, three officers, and seven other indiei duals ; but fears were entertained that their fate would be only the mere cruel, as the English Consul cannot protect them, and it is to be feared that they wig be massacred on leaving his house. " The fete of our brave comrades has infused a new ardour into their companions in arms. All have sworn to svcrqs them, and to teach these barbarians to respect the name of a Frenchman.". • We find the following in Le Temps Still rumours ef changes in the Alinistry ; always in the same spirit—. r ,l w eys, it is true, in the spirit of strong measures, of those litzardoes and oppressive measures, which require the ..... at a Hercules, and which will be adopted, as soon "1 `ball be ascertained that it is not possible to govern )e. of.-ittplei-vegutar, and obvious measures. The Ministry 6f Finance will be again stricken by the Revolu tion—M. de Berthier or M. Cavelle will replace in it M. de Montbel ; and, in that of Public lastreetit.ri, M. de Guernon-Raaville, now discontented and moderate, is to give way to M. de Vitrolles, who is as fit for that depart mint as for any other." " GREECE. " VIZ ZDITOR OF TUE 742SSENCIER. " Paris, Jane 9. " Sir,--Tcs add still more to the proofs contained in the letter which I had the honour of transmitting to you on Allondsy, relative to the conduct of Count Capo d'lstrias, I now send yea a letter of a more recent date, in which the Ptvaieen't erreases the nunostinttatience for the arrival 'ast - PliteeLeopola.'' It Is Impossible, in the critical position in which his Royal Highness hai placed Greece by his zefusal, not to admire the perseverance and resignation of the mai who has the courage t s remain at the head of the Government, and so far from blaming him, he ought to i.e supported by such pecuniary aid as would enable hint to maintain Ms difficult position until the arrival of a new Sovereign shall put an end to the fatal temporary situation which dries up all the sources of this nascent State'. " I have the honour, &c. "J. G. EYNARD." " 1 THE PRESIDENT Or GREECE TO M. ETNARD. " Napoli di Romania, April 24, 1830. " 'My dear Eynard,—l am indebted to the complai sance of the Baron de Rouen for the satisfaction of sending you these lines by the courier he is despatching to his Court, with the results of the mission which, conjointly with his colleagues, lie has been fulfilling at the seat of the Greek Provisional Government. I will not dilate upon the communications I have received from the Residents of the Allied Courts, nor of my answer to them. You will be made aquainted with them, and at all events you shall have copies of them by the first opportunity. The docu ments that lam now submitting to his Royal Highness Prince Leopold will, I hope, when considered altogether, meet with his approbation ; I shall, however, be extremely glad to learn that it is so. In a few words I have ex pressed to him my desire that his Royal Highness Will arrive at the earliest possible period in Greece, and that he will immediately send me at least 1,000,000 of francs. It is but on these two conditions—conditions which are indispensable—that I can be of any service to this country, or to his Royal Highness, either at the present moment or for the future. The voluminous despatches I have addressed to him will prove that the more I desire to show myself worthy of his c onfidence, the more faithf u ll y I ought to expose to him the present critical situation of this country, and the means which his Royal Highne ss can an d ought to employ to avert the evil consequences thereof. You must have received by this time my letter of April 6, by the Prince de Wrede. Since then the public mind has become agitated and alarmed, more by the explanations given by the official note of the residents than by the tenor of the protocol of the 3d of February. I have calmed, and continue to calm, every one, and am willing to flatter myself that with God's assistance, I shall still meet with success; but I repeat, that if the Prince does not hasten his arrival in Greece, arid if, in the mean time, he does not send me the pecuniary supplies I have requested of him, I can no longer be answerable for any thing, for it is impossible to act without means. Endeavour, my dear Eynard, to cause the remittances to be made in time. On the 23d of May, I shall be called upon for the quarter's pay due to the army. Judge what will be the consequences, If, at this critical moment, the army should be driven to disband itself. The soldiers would exclaim, Our native land is about to return under the domination of the Turks, and, to reduce us to the necessity of returning , under it also, the Government withholds our pay.' This would be to drive 8,000 men to despair and plunder. Let us provide against this extremity. My heart is full, but lam not discouraged. God will assist us. (Signed) " CAPO D'ISTRIAS."

There has been an endeavour at the Stock Exchange for two or three days back, to make it appear that a scarcity of money exists there; but, from the state of money out of doors, it is clearly nothing more than a temporary one, if, in fact, there is any ground for the sup position. The effect of the very low rate of interest ob tainable there of late has been to force money into other employment to such a degree that on the arising of any sudden demand, even to a very limited extent, it is not a lways to be had. Hence the notion, probably, which has recently got into circulation.

LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 14, 1830. HIS MAJESTY'S HEALTH. The following is the Bulletin issued this day-- " 'Windsor Castle, June 14, 1830. " The KING passed yesterday very comfortnbly. " His MAJESTY has not had a good night, but his re spiration remains more free. (Signed) " HENRY HALFORD. MATTHEW J. TIERNEY." Prince ESTERHAZY, the Austrian Ambas sador, has somewhat suddenly set off for the Continent, and embarked yesterday at Dover, opt board the Royal George steam-boat. We un derstand that his Excellency proceeds with all expedition direct for Johannisberg, there to hold a conference with Prince METTERNICH on matters of grave importance. The Government having abandoned the new Forgery Bill, it will be introduced into the Lords by the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, but its suc cess is considered doubtful. In case of its not passing, the J u dges, as well as the Home De partment, will be placed in a delicate situation as the a d m inistrators of the existing law, after the House of Commons have declared it unfit to be continued in force. The French Papers contain no news yet from the expedition to Algiers, but there seems too much reason to believe that half the crew of the corvette wrecked in Algiers bay were ordered for immediate execution, and the remainder were to share the same l'ate on the following day. If this is the case, and we have it from a quarter to be relied on, Algiers may now present a sad scene of bloodshed ; it will be war to the knife. 7he appearance of the elections in France augurs no accession of strength to the POLIG NAC administration, and the consequence is a fall in the Funds, stagnation in commerce, and a general want of confidence. It is a moment of much anxiety. We have a file of Sydney Papers to the 21st of February ; they contain a long Ordinance of the Governor respecting the Press, which de cides, among other regulations, that every person, bona fide a Proprietor of a Paper, shall be liable to all the penalties, &c. The following was the average of the Sydney market at the date of the last accounts :—Wheat, per bushel, Bs. 6d.; Maize, 4s. 6d.; Oats, 3s. 6d.; Pota toes, 4s. per cwt.; Barley, 3s. 6d.; Butter, ls. per lb. ; Cheese, 9d.; Eggs, per dozen, 3s. ; Ducks, ss. per pair ; Fowls, 45.; Geese, 1 Is. 3d.; Turkies, 145.; Hay, per ton, 61. 10s.; Straw, per load, 175.; Bread, per four pound Loaf, Bd. to 9d.; Beef, ls. 3d.; Mutton, Is. 5d.; Pork, 2s. 6d.; Veal, 3s. ld. per stone. _ The Ganyniede, from Columbia and the Sanewich Islands, had arrived at Hobart Town. Her ccnsort, a fine vessel of her own class, had been captured by the natives of Columbia River, and every human being on board murdered.— Petitions were getting up at Sydney to the House of Commons, praying for Trial by Jury, and a Representative Assembly. The 26th of January was the 42d anniversary of the colonization of New South "Wales, and was celebrated with great festivity. From all accounts of she harvest in New South Wales, the wheat crop had not been equalled. Intelligence had been received' c.f Captain STURT 3 expedition into the interior, the chief object of which was to trace the Murrembedgie River to its termination. The party had pro ceeded about 300 miles along its banks, at which distance the river was about 260 feet wide and from 12 to 20 deep. The country is described as beautiful in the extreme ; but at the spot• where the expedition was then encamped vege tation had failed. Few animal curiosities had been met with. The blacks had been exceed ingly kind. The Captain supposes that the Lachlan and Murrembedgie meet and di sern . bogue themselves in Spencer's Gulf, or the Gulf of St. Vincent. The Governor of Van Die man's Land had appointed a Committee to con sider of the amelioration of the blacks. The fruit season had been the most plentiful ever known at Sydney. We have accounts from Swan River this morning, by way of Sydney. The land proves to be fully equal to the most favourable mention made of it. From the numerous applications for land the locations of one district had been filled up, and another opened on the 2d Novem ber, within the parallel of 33 degrees, South latitude. The settlement was in a very thriv ing state, a considerable quantity of land had been brought into cultivation, and the public works were carried on with great spirit. A very long string of regulations, relative to grants of land, have been published by Lieutenant- Governor STIRLING, which order that the territory be divided into counties, hundreds, townships, and sections. Each section is to contain one square mile, of 640 acres ; each township 25 sections ; each hundred four town ships ; and each county sixteen hundreds. Grants would be made in complete sections of one square mile. The accounts altogether may be considered favourable. Papers and le:: _t.: 'lave received from Buenos Ayres to the ;-rte March, and from Rio Janeiro to . the 25th April. It will be seen from the following extracts that matters were in a very unsettled state. The private letters ace of the most gloomy and unfavourable character. General confusion prevailed. A note has been addressed to '1%1; rARISH, British Charge d'Affaires, announcing the final settlement of the long standing claim of the Master of the British brig Huskisson (From the Diario Fluminense.) Rio DE JANEIRO, Amur. G.—Sunday being the birth day of her most faithful Majesty, Donna Maria IL, was celebrated here with every demonstration of respect, with salutes of artillery from the fortresses and the squadron, &e. The religious ceremonies requiring the presence of the Emperor in the imperial chapel, the drawing-room at Court was put off to the next day, when his Majesty re ceived the compliments of the diplomatic body, and the congratulations of his faithful subjects on the occasion. The Papers from the 7th to the 20th April, both in clusive, are not come to hand. The Duke of Lichten burg, brother to the Empress, s::ems to have left Rio de Janeiro, as the Diario of the 22d April contains a sonnet addressed to hint on Lis departure for Bavaria. The Diario to the 24th April contains addresses from several places congratulating hitrMajesty on his marriage. BUENOS ATREs, MARCH 6.—The affairs of the interior have taken a most unfortunate turn. The cheering hopes which - we entertained of a speedy pacification of the re public are converted into gloomy forebodings of a general conflagration, in which our province and its allies will be involved. We mentioned in our last the obstacles opposed by the delegate authorities of Cordova to the departure of tae members of the Mediatory Commission for General Qui roga's ramp, and stated at the same time the opinion that these would be removed by General Pas. This expecta tion, however, has been disappointed. Both General Paz and the Delegate Government are stated to have persisted in their determination of not furnishing the CommiFsic. , s s with the necessary aid to proceed to General Quirc. , .:a's camp until he should have entirely evacuated the territory of the province of Cordova. After several fruitless re monstrances tl,,s Commissioners demanded their pass ports, which were immediately anJ they h a d reached the first post from Cordova, on their way hither, when they received a communication from that Government, stating, that as General Q u i roga had suspended his marches at the Rio Terceiro, General Paz waved his obligations to their going to his camp, and ordered them to be provided with every thing necessary for the purpose. After some explanation had taken place, the Commissioners set out for their destination, on the 24th, and arrived there at eight o'clock the same night. Half an hour afterwards they entered upon the discharge of their important functions. On the following day, a ft er having had a conference with General Quiroga, they drew up a formal note to him, and he had just finished the sketch of his reply when his advanced guards announced the ap proach of the enemy. The Commissioners immediately left their precarious situation, the action having already commenced. General Paz's force consisted of 3,200 men, and that of General Quiroga of 2,300 men. The former succeeded completely in effecting a surprise. Quiroga's army was routed, with the loss of seventy carts of baggage, and all his artillery and infantry, w hi c h surrendered after six hours' engagement. His cavalry were dispersed, and after the action there were about a thousand men missing in all. General Villafane, (Quiroga's second in command) with 1,400 men, four pieces of artillery, and several parties of Cordova peasantry, which were on their march to join General Quiroga, were not in action. The latter has retreated to the Esquina, in the jurisdiction of Santa Fe, in order to collect the dispersed, which are said to be assembling in considerable numbers, and he has despatched.a courier to Villafane, ordering him to fall back on San Juan, which has been appointed the general rendezvous. Amongst the prisoners taken by General Paz, is Colonel Felix Aldao. We have collected part of the above particulars from the protest which the Commissioners of Buenos Ayres have addressed from the Esquina, slated 28th ult., to General Paz, and which was published yesterday in this city. The protest accuses General Paz with having violated the public faith and the laws of nations, by attacking his adversary before he knew whether be had subscribed or not to the proposition which General Paz bad made him through them ; and term his conduct as heinous, perfidious, and unexampled in the annals of the civilized and even among savage hordes. That if General Paz bad even sent a flag of truce before attacking, to learn from the Commissioners the result of their amicable intervention, it might have qualified an action which has cast such a stain upon his standards, and that in witnessing their triumph, the me diatory Commissioners have likewise witnessed their disho nour. The protest concludes, declaring Gen. Paz respon sible fur the consequences which such perfidy and scan dalous violation of th e res p ec t d ue t o th e G overnmen t o f the provinces of B uenos A yres ma y en t a il. Buenos AYRE S , Maack 13.—The unhappy issue of d th u e ce ldatean ychange ng ia ti o in in the policythe int e o r f i otrh hasis G ov n e o r t n m a s en yet t. pr o - Pre sent circumstances, however, indicate any thing but a con tinuance of friendly relations between this province and Gen. Paz; such as the answer of the Ministry to the circumstance of the Cordova Commissioners, the brilliant reception given to General Quiroga, &c. Those who apprehend that war will take place, assert that Buenos Ayres will not appear alone in the contest, and there is every reason to believe that Santa Fe, Entrenos, and Corrientes, will make common cause with her. It is likewise affirmed that General Quiroga can still command a respectable force, and that the greater part of the cavalry, after the battle of the Laguna Blanca, joined Villafane on the fron tiers of Catamarca, and that a considerable number have obtained an asylum in the territory of this province. Notwithstanding appearances, there are many who are inclined to believe that a rupture will be avoided, and it has been stated, we know not upon what authority, that Commissioners from Cordova will shortly arrive, to settle, if possible, the unfortunate question at issue in a friendly manner. Pray Heaven it may be so ! General Paz's official despatch of the battle of the 25th ult. has been received, as likewise Cordova Newspapers to the Ist inst. : According to them, General Quiroga's lots has been 1,200 prisoners among them one General and four supe rior officers ; fifty officers killed. (number of privates not known), eight pieces of artillery, seven hundred stand of arms, a large quantity of swords, lances, and ammunition, ninety-six carts, two thousand head of black cattle, three thousand mules, a great number of horses, flour, wine, baggage, and some gold and silver. General Paz estimates his whole loss at thirty men, including one Lieutenant- Colonel and two Captains killed. The tone of the Cordova Journalist is pacific. He seems to convey the idea that General Paz and his companions in arms are now content to repose on their laurels, and launches anathemas against Federal or Unitarian, who would put obstacles in the way of constituting the nation upon either system that meets the consent of the people. General Paz returned to Cordova, with a division of his army, on the 27th ult ; several detachments were still in operation. Great rejoicings had taken place in conse quence of the victory. MONTEVIDEO, MARCH 4..--The Provisional Govern ment, taking into consideration the necessity of providing for the execution of the business of the Finance Depart ment, vacant by the mission given to D. Lucas Jose Obes, has, by a resolution dated yestet day, appointed D. Gabriel Pereyra, President of the Board of Agriculture, to be Minister of Finance. The resignation tendered by General Lavalleja has been accepted, but no successor has yet been appointed. Lisbon Gazettes have been received from the 24th to 29th May inclusive, but they contain no news whatever. There was so little of novelty in Mr. O'Cow- NELL'S plan of Parliamentary Reform, that his motion was not calculated either to draw much attention to the subject, or to do much good to the cause. Universal Suffrage—Triennial Par liaments—and Voting by Ballot—are measures which, taken altogether, are approved of by a very small number of reflecting persons ; and though there are not a few who think the one, or the other, of these measures desirable in them selves, yet to establish the three by one sweep ing vote would be too near an approach to a pur e democracy to allow such a proposition to be generally favoured either in or out of Parlia ment. We are not, therefore, at all surprised that Mr. O'CowTavr T n.lld have been left by the . of Corr .11 so feeble a minority. As to Universal Suffrage, we can scarcely conceive any form of Government in which it would be likely to guard the security, or pro mote the happiness of the people. Votes which are not independent are worse than superfluous; they are a downright wei;ght thrown into the scale of the rich and powerful, and as such are dangerous to the general freedom. Upon the same principle as women and children are ex cluded from voting, by reason of the natural influence exercised over them by their husbands and fathers, so ought all those to be deprived of the elective franchise who are wanting in that free will; of which self-respect and a sense of independence are necessary to secure the ex ercise. If the elective franchise he placed unreasonably high the case is different,- but where, as in the instance or 40s. freeholds, the franchise is such that any man whatever, pith a tolerable education and industrious habits, may look with certainty to being able to possess it, the removal of all distinctions would both take away a stimulus to exertion, and destroy the real use of the franchise, by laying it open to inevitable abuses which would more than counterbalance its benefits. To talk of the in herent rights of all citizens to vote, is mere non sense ; because in a state of society no rights can properly exist,wirich are, inconsistent with the general goo& The siltnple question is— which is the best manner of tatoosing the Mem bers of the Legislature ? If any benefit can be shewn to be likely to arise from admitting per sons who have iro property—and, therefore, as far as human nature can be judged of, no com parative interest in the preservation of the pro perty of others—there would be some reason for crying out for Universal Suffrage ; but it cer tainly appears to us pregnant with so much more evil than good, that we should be sorry to counte nance any plan of Reform of which it formed a part. Triennial Parliaments are likewise open to serious, but by no means to the same objections, on account of the agitation and disturbance—the conflict of parties—the ill-will—the hatred, and the enmity which elections never fail to generate, and to leave as a legacy to the people. It is unavoidable that such interruptions to the public peace should occasionally occur, and it is difficult to fix a period for the duration of Parliaments, which should not repeat too often the scene of tumult, and should not at the same time be so long as to'break off the connection between the Repre sentative and his constituents, and to bring the former under the attraction of the influence of the Crown. This. influence is certainly bexces sive,—perhaps unconstitutionally so ; but the way to diminish it is rather by a reduction of the public expenditure, than by a reduction of the length of Parliaments. Lord JOHN RUSSELL thinks five years the fittest term of duration, and his reasons are given at length in his admirable " History of Europe since the Peace of Utrecht." The point is one on which it is hard to speak decidedly. With regard to Election by Ballot, the only objection to it is its alleged tendency to promote a dissimulating conduct unworthy of an English man, or any free citizen. It does not, however, necessarily follow, that a man because he votes in secret should afterwards tell a falsehood Oh the subject, nor do we think so meanly of the English character as to believe that many of our countrymen could, under any circumstances, be prevailed on to promise one candidate and vote for another. But if the object be to secure the perfect freedom of the voters, and to protect them against the punishments which, as in the case of Newark, are so often the result of con scientious votes, election by ballot is the surest means of effecting this desirable end. It would, indeed, be almost fatal to the exercise of Aristocratical, or Plutocratical sway, either in counties or boroughs ; and this con sideration seems to us decisive in its favour. It is no argument to say it is unknown to our Constitution, for if it is an improvement, the sooner it is known to our law the better. Limited as arc the numbers of the French elec tors, the ballot alone has secured to them their freedom of choice—has enabled them to defeat one obnoxious Ministry—and will, we trust, obtain them as sign a l a victory in the struggle that is now going on in that country. Com bined however with Universal Suffrage, and Tri ennial Parliaments, Election by Ballot was ne cessarily opposed by the votes of Lord AL TIIORP, and many other Members who are fa vourable to it in principle when standing alone. Parliamentary Reform cannot be in better hands than those of Lord JOIIN RUSSELL. His Lordship's views are founded in justice and moderation, and are suited to the real necessity of the case. Those who embarrass the progress of Reform, by aiming at objects which, whether desirable or not, are at least not likely to be at. tabled, do more injury to the cause than those who resist it altogether. We have a Leeward Island mail this morning, with dates from the different Islands to the be ginning of May. An order in Council appears, dated Windsor, Feb. 2, for consolidating the several laws for the improvement of the condi tion of the slaves In the colonies of Trinidad, Berbice, Demerara, and St. Lucia. By this it is ordered that a protector of slaves be appointed, who is not to be the owner of slaves himself or the mortgagee of them, and who is at times to be resident At the district to which he is ap pointed, and who is not' competent to act as a Magistrate. By this order in Council the Sun day markets are abolished. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) - FROM LLOYD'S. DEAL, JUNE 13.—Wind variable.—Arrived the Lime, Fraser, from Jamaica.

Sydney Papers to the 21st of February, and Charleston to the 9th of May, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. (From the Sydney Papers.) The last Market was an exceedingly busy one, and a trifling rise took place. Vegetables were very plentiful. Three bushrangers have been apprehended. Letters have just been received from Captain Stun, who is on a ~ cond exploring expedition. This enter prising Ciptala writes in the highest spirits, and enter tains the most sanguine hopes of success. He has little or no doubt that the Lachlan and Murrembedgie rivers will be found t 3 meet and disembogue their united waters either into Spencer's Gulf, or the Gulf of St. Vincent. We are sorry to state that the health of the Governor is again suffering from bilious disorder. His Excellency was confined to his room, and much disordered. THE FUNDS.

The late College or Physicians, in Warwick lane, has been converted into an immense brazier's manu factory, where as many hammers are constantly at work as are attributed to the fabled cave of Vulcan.

LEEDS.—The failure of the house of Messrs. Moon (mentioned by us last week) was partially felt at the market on Tuesday. The business done at the Leeds Cloth Halls, however, is not now, as formerly, an accu rate index of the state of trade—since, frrm the establish ment of so many large factories, an immense quantity of cloth is manufactured which never enters through the Cloth Hall Gates.—lt is a satisfaction, however, to know that the majority of the mills are :in full work, and but few hands engaged in the manufacture of broad cloths out of employ.—Halifax Commercial Chronicle. EMIGRATION. - The statement is not ex aggerated, that ten times the former annual number of per sons ' ave this season embarked at the ports of Westport and Sligo for America, from the barony of Tyrawly. They generally consisted of the more comfortable, industrious, as well as the best conducted classes of the peasantry, and two-thirds of them at least were Protestants. —Ballitia Impartial. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(TMS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. The House sat on Scotch Appeals this morning at ten o'clock. The Lords present were the LORD CitaxcELLoss the Marquis of ORMONDE, and Lord TZYNHAM. ♦UCHTELLONY V. LORD LTNEDOCH. Sir C. WETHERELL replied at considerable length ill this appeal, the „lodgment in which was postponed. ROLLS COURT. JUDGMENT. ...WILSON V. HA LLELEY• The MASTER of the ROLLS gave judgment in this case in which the question for the decision of the Court swath whether a sum directed to be raised out of rents and profits of real estate was to be raised by the accumulation of an nual rents and profits, or by sale or mortgage ? His Honour went at considerable length through the will of the testator, on which the question arose, upon the whole context of which the Court was clearly of opinion that the meaning of the testator was, that the fund in question (upwards of 5,0001.) should be raised by the accumulation of annual rents and profits. The decree was therefore to be drawn up accordingly. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. CONTE.MVT.-ITARLAND V. BENNETT. The defendant in this case was brought up this morn' ing in custody, in order that the bill might be taken pro confesso against him for refusing to put in his a nswer. This prisoner, it will be recollected, was the man whoa"' the Solicitor..Ceneral said, on his being brought up on A former day, refused to answer the bill only be c ause be thought he could lire better in prison than out of it. The VICE-CnaNcruon—Well, prisoner, what have you to say against this application ? The prisoner handed a paper to the Court, which, his Honour bad read, he observed that he saw no rea son whatever stated in the paper why the nasal course should not be taken. The bill was then ordered to be taken pro confesso against the prisoner, who retired in the cus tody of the officer of the Court. after INJUNCTION. --MAORI V. VERYSUIL. Mr. KNIGHT applied for an injunction to restrain the defendants from giving any security, contracting any d e bt in the name of the partnership, or in any way using the partnership name. The partnership in question was formed for the purpose of publishing a musical work, originally written in the Spanish language by a gentleman of that country, who had assigned the property in different shares to the defendants. It was stipulated in the agree ment that the work should be completed by one of the de fendants, who was to have the management and operative part is this country, at a period long since expired. 'The work at present was not near completion, and the present bill had been filed for the purpose of dissolving th e part nership. His Howoua thought the Learned Counsel entitled to what was asked, and granted the injunction. Injunction granted. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. After hearing motions of no public interest the Court proceeded with the peremptory paper. TEE KING V. THE JUSTICES OF GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Mr. CAMPBELL last term obtained a rule calling upon the Justices of Gloucestershire to show caused why a mandamus should not be issued, calling upon them to re hear an appeal which they had dismissed. The facts were shortly these :—ln one of the parishes in Gloucestershire the two overseers had agreed, for their mutual convenience, for one of them to perform the duties of the office for one part of the year, and another the remainder part of the year, which was accordingly done. When the period arrived for them to pass their accounts, one overseer objected to the accounts of his co-overseer, and lodged an appeal ag a inst their being allowed. This appeal came on for hearing at the Quarter Sessions, when, after one witness had been examined, Mr. Justice, on behalf of the respondent, ob jected to the jurisdiction of the Court to entertain the appeal, inasmuch that the person complaining was in fact complaining of his own acts, the law making the act of one overseer (in his official capacity) the act of both. This objection was allowed, and the appeal dismissed. A mandamus was in consequence applied for to obtain a re-hearing. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, Mr. JUSTICE, and Mr. ALEXANDER were heard this morning at great length against the rule for a mandamus, and :Mr. CAairneu, in support of it. The COURT, after some consultation, directed the man' damurs to issue, as they were of opinion that one overseer was competent and legally authorised to object to the ae; counts of his co-overseer, and also that the Court 0 Quarter Sessions bad jurisdiction to adjudicate In all suet% cases.—Mandum us granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. MORSE CASE..-11ARMNI. V. SMITH. This was an action brought for the recovery of 641. the cost of the keep of a horse, tried before the Lord Chief Justice, at the last sittings at Guildhall. The verdict was for the plaintiff. Mr. SeijeantLna now moved that this verdict be set aside, and a nonsuit entered. The grounds of the Learned Counsel's motion were as follows. That there had been no evidence whatever of purchase of the horse by the defendant. That the plaintiff had care fully abstained from bringing his action for the recovery of the cost of the animal ; but had contented himself with sueing for its keep alone, well knowing, that if the de fendant should be found responsible for its keep, he could easily prove him responsible for the price of the horse in a subsequent action. It did not appear that there had ever been any notice served on the defendant to take the horse away, or indeed any intimation on the part of the plaintiff that he would have been allowed to do so on ap plication. LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—Take a rule to show cause. HICKMAN V. WAKLEY. This was an action on a bill of exchange for 1041. 10s. 6d., drawn by the plaintiff and accepted by the defendant, dated the 4th August, 1829, and payable six months after date. The case was tried before the Lord Chief Justice at the sittings in Guildhall, on the Sth in stant, when a verdict was returned for the plaintiff. Mr. Serjeant WILDE moved that this verdict be set aside, and a new trial granted. The evidence adduced by the plaintiff consisted simply of that furnished by the bill of exchange itself, which, on the face of it, and which he (the Learned Counsel) believed was strictly the fact, had been drawn for " value delivered in paper." Now the truth was, as it h.td been contended en the part of the defendant, that the bill was accepted not for paper actually delivered, but to be delivered to the defendant ; it was well known to the plaintiff that Mr. Wakley was not a dealer in the article, but simply the Editor and Proprietor of the Lanc e t, for which work the plaintiff was aware the paper had been purchased. No paper had been delivered for a long time after the bill had been accepted, not indeed until a few days previously to its becoming due, and then in so small a quantity (only three reams), and of so wretched a quality as not to be at all merchantable—so bad in fact that the plaintiff mot have known it could not be used for the specific purpose for which it bad been purchased without material injury to the interests of the Lancet. Due notice of this had been served upon the plaintiff, who nevertheless persisted in supplying paper of the same inferior anti use less quality. Under these circumstances he (the Learned Counsel) thought the Court would be of opinion with him, that no consideration had been received by the defendant, and that consequently there had never been any due ems• cution of the contract. Before he concluded, he begged to say a word in reference to the Jury, before whom the case had been tried. In the first instance, after some con sideration, they had returned a verdict in favour of the pl a i n tiff—" for paper delivered;" and on being informed by the Learned Judge that they must return their verdict in snore general terms, they again consulted for a still longer time, and eventually brought in a verdict " for the plaintiff,"—contrary, in his the (Learned Counsel's) opi nion to the clear facts of the case, and clearly indicative of their total ignorance of the merits of those facts. The COURT granted a rule to show cause. (FRONI A CORRESPONDENT.)—it is perhaps not generally known that Prince FREDERICK of Prussia, wire has lately arrived in this country, is the eldest son of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cummtgadoin, by her first marriage, with the late Prince FREDERICK Criaatas Law's, brother to the present King of PRUSSIA. Prince FREDERICK was born on the 30th of October, 1794, and married in 1817 Louisa, Princess of Anhalt- Bernburg, out of which marriage there is an issue of two children, viz. WILLIAM LEWIS ALEXANDER FREDERICK, born on the 21st of June, 1820, and FREDERICK WIL LIAM GEORGE ERNEST', born on the 13th of February, 1826. Prince FREDERICK is the present candidate to the new throne of Greece, vacant by the resignation of Prince LEOPOLD of Saxe-Coburg, and will ultimately be the only successful one. Allied by family connexion a ith the reigning dynasties of Great Britain and Russia, though standing in no relation of consanguinity with either of them, he will give jealousy to none, and bring on the other hand that support to the new state, which is so essential towards establishing its political independence, whatever may be the extent of territory conceded to thil new kingdom for the present.
