An attack was made upon the Attorney-General on Friday night, in the Committee of Supply, on account of the prosecutions, which excited - so much attention no long time ago, of the Morning Journal. This attack was in some degree diverted by the com plaint of Mr. D. W. Harvey ; that he had been inter rupted in his practice of filing informations in Chan cery against the trustees of public charities by the same Attorney-General, it being a part of this Right Hon. Gentleman's office to consider in what cases it is proper to file such Bills, arid in what not : and iii the exercise of the discretion thus allowed to the Right Hon. Gentleman, he hail prevented Mr. D. W. Harvey, who had filed many informations of the nature above described, from filing more. This is most likely a sore subject with Mr. Harvey ; but yet the conduct of the Attorney-General may be not one whit the less just and honourable. But to the point of those prosecutions for libel. It is now endea voured to excite odium on account of them. We can recollect the time when great odium and indignation were excited that the libels were' suffered to pro ceed ! so mutable is public opinion. We are no friends certainly to Government prosecutions for what is called libel; but we know that such was the opinion of the Press itself of the libels in question—their malignity, and the perseverance with which they were repeated—that the more respectable part of it disowned all professional fellowship and intercourse with the journal in which they were sent forth, and that that publi cation has accordingly sunk, and is extinct. There was the oath, likewise—that fearful oath— asserting that not Lord Lyndhurst but the Duke of Wellington was meant. Were the case in suspense we should say nothing : it is decided, arid we shall still say but little. But the form of prosecution was altered in the first and most striking case. Lord Lyndhurst being charged with accepting bribes, calls upon his friend the Attorney-General to pro secute the author of the atrocious falsehood, and proceedings commence; but Government, finding so high a personage in their body as the Lord High Chancellor of England assailed by a most detestable slander, institute a public prosecution for the same offence. Both prosecutions could not continue; and the State, which is an impassive body, claims the sielinquent in preference to the individual—a man of a kind and perhaps too placable a temper in a case of public wrong. This we believe to be the explanation of the double process, be it satisfactory or not. It was fully competent, both in morals and consistency, to such a gentleman as Mr. Gordon to make the attack and require the explanation, and the public we are sure will respect his motives. But it does excite our indignation, we confess, to see the high Tories, who, through the law of libel (which they had heated up to double pressure), have for the last 30 years been endeavouring to silence us and the whole liberal Press, and thus to trample down the liberties of all England, now, when they are out of office, affect regard for freedom of dis cussion, and reprehend public prosecutions for libel.— Times. The cause of the reduction of the Greek boundaries forms the subject of anxious inquiry in the House of Lords. Lord Carlisle first adverted to the subject, expressing a wish to have copies of any correspond ence addressed by the Porte to the Plenipotentiaries. Lord Aberdeen was, however, unable to say whether the desire expressed by the Porte was recorded in any document. The very peculiar style of diplo matic correspondence for which the world is in debted to Lord Aberdeen was also alluded to. The Marquis of Londonderry, adverting to the famous lecture read to Prince Leopold by his Lordship— " However these sentiments may accord with the political objects of persons in this country by whom your Royal Highness may have been advised, I think your Royal Highness cannot fail to perceive, upon reflection, how little such a course could contribute to the real dignity and consistency of your own character"—observed upon this piece of impertinence, " Surely there must have been some previous com munications between the Noble Earl and Prince Leopold before he could have ventured to allude to the political advisers of his Royal Highness. If there had been a little more of the suaviler in nzodo in these communications, it might perhaps have been as well." His Lordship would seem to be anxious that the honour of the new State should not be tarnished by any thing like the explanation suggested by Lord Londonderry. for he answered sharply, " there had been no pre vious correspondence." On which the Noble Marquis said, " he could not help thinking that, if there had been no previous correspondence, the ex pression he had referred to was uncalled for, and therefore improper." His Lordship, we suppose, was then trying whether Prince Leopold was of the right kingly ore. His countryman, Buchanan, to whom the world is indebted for the accomplish ments of the British Solomon, used to subject the krigly ore to a still more severe test. Notwith standing, however, Lord Aberdeen's declaimer, we cannot help thinking that the confidence displayed in the passage quoted by Lord Londonderry must have been preceded by attempts of a less decided character, the success of which emboldened him to take this lofty flight.—Morning Chronicle. Mr. Hume, on presenting a petition last night from the manufacturers of candles, soap, &c., of Aberdeen, suggested the expediency of getting rid of the vexatious excise regulations to which the manufacturers of soap and candles were subjected, by imposing an additional duty on Russian tallow." At present Russia (he said) levied a duty of 2s. Gd. the cwt. on tallow exported, and we have a duty of 3s. Gd. the cwt. on the import, making together a duty of Gs. on the cwt. Augmenting this import duty must give a greater revenue, without costing so much to collect it. The duty now received by the Exchequer on candles did not amount to above Id. per lb., but that imposed, in fact, a tax' on the people of 3d. or 4d. on every pound of candles they used." Where the amount of money paid into the Exchequer is alone in question, there cannot be a doubt that it is much better to levy the money by the mode proposed, than under the vexatious excise regulations. "But there are other considerations than the mere amount of duty. Will not the price at which the tallow can be imported determine the price of tallow at home, as the home supply is inadequate to the home consumption ? We are not suffi ciently acquainted with the trade in tallow to know the cost of production in various countries, and how far the Emperor of Russia could venture to add to the duty on tallow exported from his domi nions without throwing part of the supply on other countries. If, however, he have a monopoly, and the price of foreign tallow should be raised by a duty, the British consumer would not merely pay the duty, but an additional price to te British agricul turist. However, we speak with great diffidence on this subject. •n one point, however, touched on by Mr. Hume, there can be no question : There was another inducement (he said) to lower the tax, which he would mention. He was anxious to see the duties equalized in England, Ireland, and Scotland.—(Hear, hear.)—The taxes ought to be LONDON,' TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 8, 1830. the same in every part of the empire, but he would never raise an Irish tax to the level of an English one. He would lower the English high tax to a level with the Irish low tax. If the Irish Members, - who were in general very bad voters—(A laugh)— would only attend, they might, perhaps, get such a thing accomplished. The Scotch Members were had voters, but .the Irish were worse ; though, owing to a rebellion of the latter, he had once the misfortune to be in a majority.—(A laugh.)— They were one hundred, and ;f they -would only attend and vote, no doubt question for equalizing the duties in all parts of the empire might be carried. But the induce ment he was about to speak of was directed to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He found that the exports of soap to Ireland in 1827, amounted to 239,0001b5.; in 1828 to 859,0001b5.; and in 1829 to 2,645,0001b5. Why, if the Irish used all this soap, they must be the cleanest people under the sun."—(A laugh.)—The soap is exported for the sake of the drawback, and immediately smuggled back to this country. The duties ought to be the same throughout every part of the United King dom. There is but one market ; for the prices of London determine the prices every where else. The Irishman has much greateradvantages than thenatives of many English counties; for no part ckireland•ite ) fifty miles distant from the sea, or some navigable river or loch. The Irish are yet in general poorer than the English; and of course they will consume less than the English. A poor Englishman con sumes.less than a rich Englishman ; if poverty be a reason for lowering a tax, where are we to stop ? It is the duty of Government to give no favours or preferences to any part of the United Kingdom; and there is still less reason for the exception from duty on coal in the coal districts, than for the difference of duties in Ireland and England. We trust the day will soon come when we shall be rid of all these disgraceful anomalies.—/Ilorning Chronicle. There are no people more alarmed at the idea of hydrophobia than the English, and none more dis posed to encourage that dreadful malady, by rearing all sorts of dogs, whether useful or worthless, and allowing them to go at large in populous places, in the hottest season of the year, without water—the living depositaries and active agents of pestilence and death. Hence, every summer, the terrors and the sufferings which prevail in towns and villages, in consequence of the ferocity of those animals tra versing streets and roads in a rabid state, " seeking whom they may devour." Hence the long and black catalogue of human victims yearly sacrificed, amid the most horrible torments, to this passion for canine favourites ! We would not unnecessarily ex cite the apprehension of the timid, there is sufficient terror abroad at present; but it is quite requisite, as a matter of humanity, that the extent of the evil should be known, that it may reduce those who have the power to make every exertion to abate the nuisance. It •is to be lamented that there is not a law to authorise all dogs to be de stroyed which are found about the streets, unmuzzled, at those seasons when hydrophobia is prevalent.— There are indeed local acts peculiar to some parishes, by which the owners of dogs, who allow them to go loose- at certain periods of the year, are liable to a fine; and by the common law, or com mon usage, which is the same thing, dogs, actually rabid, may be destroyed. But then their madness, in general, is only ascertained by the melancholy proof of one or more human beings having been bitten, and thus subjected to the most cruel agonies and dreadful death that man can suffer or witness. Surely to preserve a single one of our fellow-crea tures from so horrible a visitation would be worth the sacrifice of all the dogs in the kingdom. Yet how many of those calamities have we had the mournful duty of recording within the last few days. The Magistrates of Bow-street 'issued an order the other day against dogs going at large about the streets; but, from the numbers that are still to be seen prowling, without restraint, in all directions, the order has not been very well obeyed. As a matter of police, dogs ought to be removed out of the streets as obstructions; and, independently of hydro phobia, they are frequently the cause of serious ac cidents, by molesting and frightening horses. In the towns and villages in England, a great propor tion of those people who have scarcely bread for their children rear useless curs that are continually annoying passengers and attacking horses. A num ber of these barking nuisances go mad every year, and deal wounds and terror around them. In some places we are glad to find the Magistrates refuse pa rish relief to persons who, keeping such animals, may be truly said to " take their childrens' bread and throw it to the dogs." People who complain of not being able to feed their children, ought not to be allowed to keep worthless animals, which must prey upon the provision of their families, or that ,of their neighbours. It is not cruelty to exterminate such animals—it is a duty of humanity—they are the materials by which a home-bred plague—the most virulent that poisons the springs of life—is fed and circulated. No legislative measures are taken to ar rest this plague on the principle of prevention. As we have said before, a dog which is ascertained to be mad may be killed by any person; but the mischief is first done, and small consolation is it to the rela tives and friends of the sufferer that the ferocious animal has fallen, after he has made sure of his victim—after he has plunged a family - into affliction and bereavement by the loss of some dear relative, whose agonies his friends were doomed to witness, without the possibility of affording either cure or consolation. Parliament, whose time has been oc cupied in so many petty acts of legislation, has been strangely remiss upon this important subject. It is curiously inconsistent that the most elaborate regu lations should be framed against the contagion of an important plague, and that one engendered upon our own soil should be allowed to spread its ravages unchecked—save by some local Acts for particular parishes, which, of course, have no gene ral application. If a troop of wolves, hungry from the Apennines, had been imported and let loose in the streets of London, they could scarcely have oc casioned more personal suffering or epidemic terror than dogs have produced during the present season in the streets of London.—Morning 'Jerald. Our readers will perceive in our report of the Parliamentary proceedings, that the amendment pro posed by Sir James Mackintosh, which does away altogether with the punishment of death for forgery, was carried by a majority of thirteen, at a late hour this morning. When it is considered that the Ministers, so far from being taken by surprise upon this occasion, had received a pretty plain intimation, but a few nights before, of the great change which had taken place in the minds of men upon this sub ject, and had, in consequence, marshalled all their forces to meet the struggle of last night, it is impos sible to regard the result in any other sense than as a decisive triumph on the part of the friends of humanity. What the ultimate fate of the Bill may be in another place it is not now necessary to specu late ; bat, be it what it may, there was no improve ment contemplated in the Bill which may not, and ought not, to be joyfully resigned, for a triumph, however temporary, so important as the decision of the House of Commons in this instance. But though in one sense the effect of the amendment may be . be permanent. The be lost f ur a season, t ß e i m ll p a o t r i a d ry th , e in a a m no en th d e m r en it t w m il a l y but the precedent will never perish. It will operate through the whole frame of society, over throwing prejudices which nothing short of such - d. an authority would be sufficient to conquer, and exciting in the Legislature itself a spirit which must sooner or later abate the barbarity of the law. It is unnecessary to point out particular speeches in a debate which will be read with great eagerness, especially as the division has given a turn to the whole proceedings which many were not prepared to ex pe c t.—illorning Herald. A correspondent calls upon us to express the just indignation which every civilized mind must expe rience at the fatal termination of the late brutal fight. In reply to his observations we may state, that we have not only given all the horrible particulars re lating to it, but that months ago, at no i►►conside rable expense, and no inconsiderable personal danger to the writer, we inserted a long series of letters, under the head of " The Fancy," the object of which was to expose the infamous practice of prize fighting, and, by exposing it, to put an end to it. Still we allow that the present is a case which calls for special notice on our part, and for con dign punishment on the aidets and abettors of the shameful tragedy ! and in common, we be lieve, with every member of the community, whose oath would be taken at the Old Bailey on the Subject, we call on the Magistrates to do their duty pitrbringing the guilty parties to justice, and not to q+►ibble, as appears to have been the case at Bow -street yesterday, about the formality or informality of warrants, and thus afford them time to escape. The practice, however individual instances of it may terminate, is most disgraceful, and its continuance to be attributed solely to the supineness and ineffi ciency of the Magistracy, who, in many instances, instead of using the powers committed to them to prevent fights, have merely confined themselves to the useless task of chasing the prize-fighters out of their own county. We trust the present case will teach them to be more on the alert in future, and to allow no one to escape from the due punishment so justly awarded by the law against every one who may either have aided and abetted, or been present at, a prize-fight. It it high time that this remain of the grossest barbarism should no longer remain a blot on the civilization of the country. — Morning Advertiser.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. The following is an extract of a private letter of the Isth ult. from Corfu :—" By intelligence both! from the Continent and the islands, we learn that hostilities between the Greeks and the Turks have recommenced at various points. Blood is flowing in Crete, and the Samiuts, on being informed that they were to he again placed under the Turkish yoke, have unanimously resolved to die for their country. Freed by their own valour, and conquerors of the infidels, they have hitherto resisted all their attacks Reduced to fight wi.hin a narrow space, they waited the approach of the enemy with determined resolution, ex claiming, We have required no aid from the Christians of Europe ; by what right then do they pretend to dispose of us ?' We may soon expect to see renewed in Samos the examples set at Saguntum, Parga, and I%lissolonghi. To live free, or die with arms in their hands, is the firm reso lution of a population that, including all ages and both sexes, exceeds 100,000 souls. The inhabitants of Phocis, Doris, Locris, Etolia, and Acarnania, have unanimously determined to live independent in their mountains. Never will they surrender Vonitza, Patradzik, or the positions held by the Policares on Mount Oeta or the sides of Par nassus. Faithful to the President, they will not hold them selves hound by any contract that separates them from Greece. The attempt to trace the boundaries that are to severe them may therefore be dispensed with, and it will be well for these who are to be employed -on -that task to be on their guard how they present themselves on the banks of the Sperehius, lest they be treated as if they were Turks. This declaration has been communicated by ail the mountaineers to the President of Greece, so that no one may pretend to be ignorant of their sentiments. On the other hand, the Turks, far from preparing to evacuate Attica, are victualling the Acropolis, and refuse to admit a:single stranger. Omar Pacha, who is daily receiving reinforcements, has secret orders to defend Euboea, what ever may be the tenour of the firmans addressed to him directing the surrender of the island to the Greeks. Ne gropont and Carystos are occupied by garrisons com manded by officers lately arrived from Constantinople. The islands of the Archipelago have formed confederacies in opposition to the municipal laws under which they have lived for the last eight years, pretending that no foreigner has a right to interfere in their affairs, without the consent of their delegates, and that these delegates even have no power to alienate their rights. Thessaly, Epirus, and part of Macedonia, groan under the anarchical rule of the Albanians, who carry off, and sell for slaves, all the Chris tians they find without the walls of the towns. These armed barbarians deny the authority of the Grand Seignor, whom they look upon as the vassal of Russia. The Boa niacs oppose the treaty of Adrianople, and, to enforce its execution, Russia must again draw the sword. In the mean time the Russians remain in possession of the prin cipal military positions on the southern flank of Mount Herons." Letters from Port-au•Prince of April 22, announce that on the 7th the definitive treaty for regulating the political, commercial, and pecuniary relations between France and Hayti was signed by the Commissioners, but had not been ratified by the President. It appears that he makes no objection to the political and commercial stipulations, but his hesitation arises out of the pecuniary clauses. They are not considered by him as in proporti'sn to the revenue of Hayti, nor consistent with the sacred obligations by which he has ever felt himself bound to wards the holders of bonds for the loan granted to e him. NI. Pichon, however, is perfectly aware of what ought to be done, having received an official communication of the receipts and expenditure of Hayti for the last three years. In the mean time the llaytian Government announces its intention to continue its remittances for the reimburse ment of the contractors. The Bayonnaise had just sailed, and other vessels are shortly to follow her. The Austt ian Observer contains a letter from Count Capo d'lstrias, addressed. to Baron Rouen, the French se sident in Greece, in which he declares, in the most distinct and unequivocal terms, that the two decrees inserted in the Courier de Smyrna, relative to the establishment of a tri bunal of secret an; veillanee, and attributed to the Greek Government, are entirely false, the Government not having had the intention of having recourse to such measures. The editor, he states, is guilty of defamation and calumny, and had either himself actually forged these pretended do cuments, or else inserted them without taking due means to ascertain their authenticity. The President then calls upon Baron Rouen to use his endeavours to bring the editor (who is a French subject) before the competent authorities, in order to his being compelled to make a distinct and formal avowal of the falsity of the articles complained of. M. Feissat, editor, and M. Demonchy, printer of the Semaphore of Marseilles, were tried a few days since by the Tribunal of Correctional Police, for a libel upon M. d'Arbaud Jouques, Prefect of the Bunches du Rhone, by stating in that Journal " that he had made a dull trans lation of Ossian, that he had the vulgar air of a Burgun dian clown, and resembled the would-be gentleman in La Faus.se Agnes." M. Feissat was condemned to a month's imprisonment, and a fine of 300 franc,. M. Demonchy was acquitted. The following intelligence from Navarin is dated April 14:—" In June last the merchantman Neptune, com manded by John Caramandi, was captured off Candia by Tufahzi-Baschi, and taken to Canes with six of her crew, who were sent to prison by Kara Suleiman, Pacha. The Captain and the rest of the sailors jumped into the sea, reached the shore, and concealed themselves in the moun tains. A few months ago Tufahzi-Baschi went to Syra on his way to Smyrna, whither lie had been sent by Kara Suleiman, when Caramanli, with the relations of the im prisoned mariners, applied to the Commissioner to have Tufalizi-Baschi arrested, in order to obtain the liberty of the prisoners as the condition of his release. The Go vernment, however, directed the immediate release of Tufahzi-Baschi, who continued his voyage to Smyrna; but the sanguinary Kara Suleiman, as soon as he heard of the arrest of Tufabzi-Baschi, without waiting for any information as to the result, hung the poor incarcerated Greeks, though they were absolutely ignorant of these pro ceedings. They have all left families."

The Earl of MALMESBURY, in presenting a petition from certain bankers of Devonshire, praying relief under a certain construction of the Bankrupt Laws put upon them by the Court of Common Pleas, observed upon the new Insolvent Bill which had been sent up from the Commons, - that measure contained a most extraordinary provision —first, it declared that minors might be imprisoned —next, that he might declare himself bankrupt and execute conveyances, assignments, and warrants of attorney ; and, thirdly, that if, after remaining in prison six months he did not file his petition for the purpose, any creditor might proceed to make him bankrupt as if lie had filed it. Such a Bill he had never seen before sent up from the Commons. The Earl of ELDON agreed - in all that had fallen from the Noble Earl regarding the new In solvent Debtors' Bill. On the subject of the peti tion, he thought that the petitioners were entitled to relief, and for that purpose he should propose that the Order of the Day for the Committee on the Bankrupt Laws' Bill (this day) should be dis charged, in order that it might be fixed for Monday; and in the mean time the case of the petitioners, and others like it, might be taken into consideration. The Order of the Day was then discharged, and the Committee on the Bankrupt Bill was appointed for-Monday. The Earl.of ELDON presented a petition from the Clergy of Rochester, praying that. Protestants in our possessions abroad might not be conipelled to join in Roman Catholic ceremonies. • FEES ON THE DEMISE OF THE CROWN. Earl BATHURST requested the Noble Earl (Darnley) to postpone the second reading of the Bill for abolishing the Fees of certain Offices on the Demise of the Crown, in consequence of the un avoidable absence of his Noble Friend (the Duke of Wellington). Earl DARNLEY did not think he could resist the postponement till to-morrow for the reason stated, although the measure pressed at this moment. The Earl of MALMESDURY complained of the period at which this Bill had been brought for ward. There was, unhappily, every probability at present of a speedy demise of the Crown, and as a matter of delicacy and feeling he thought that the Bill ought not to be pressed, especially with such peculiar haste. He did not mean at all to be un derstood as contending that the fees ought to be preserved. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE remarked, that if it were the intention of Ministers to oppose the principle of the Bill, of course it ought to be post- poned. Earl DARNLEY hoped that no want of delicacy would be imputed to him : the Bill had been brought from the Commons, and, approving its principle, he had undertaken to pass it through its stages in this House. After a few words from the Earl of MALMRSBURY and Earl BATIIURST, ros T v, heorde and it was the Day w vosof ordered that as p t o h s e tpon Lo ed rdatialhloto-motildhr e summoned. Earl GREY presented a petition from Mr. Tighe, a prisoner in the King's Bench, complaining of certain abuses. Also a petition from the inhabitants of Galway, in favour of the Galway Franchise Bill. Lord BEXLEY presented a petition from certain graduates, &c. of Oxford, against• the continuance of slavery. The Duke of RICHMOND presented petitions from Grantham and Stamford, complaining of distress. The Bishop of CHESTER presented petitions from Stockport and Blackburn, against the employ ment of children for many hours together in cotton factories. The Bishop of BATH and WELLS presented a petition with the same prayer from Oldham. The Earl of CAERNARVON presented a peti tion from the chemists and druggists of Manchester, against the Stamp Duties on medicines. The Earl of GLENGALL presented a petition from the inhabitants of Tipperary, against the in crease of taxes in Ireland. GREECE. The Earl of CARLISLE wished to put a ques tion to the Noble Earl opposite with regard to the papers lately laid upon the table of the House upoti the affairs of Greece. He wished for information with regard to the line of boundary which had been at first agreed upon, and that which had afterwards been designated as the limit of the new Greek State. It' his opinion, the information already furnished to Parliament was defective, and it was his wish to have such papers laid upon the table as would sup ply the deficiency. He wished to know from the Noble Secretary opposite, whether there was any objection to furnish them with copies of any corres pondence that might have been addressed by the Porte to the Plenipotentiaries of the three Allied Powers, expressing the desire of the Porte for the reduction of the line of boundary settled in the Pro tocol of March, 1829 ? He was not aware that there could be any objection to afford such information. The Earl of ABERDEEN said he should not object to afford the information required, but would merely state his doubt whether he could furnish the information exactly in the form required by the Noble Earl. In point of fact, he doubted whether it existed in such a form. That there was such a de sire expressed on the part of the Porte, was un doubtedly true; but he could not at that moment undertake to say, whether it existed in such a form as that he could lay it before the House as a distinct document. He knew the desire had been expressed, and of course it had been in some way recorded. 'rite Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, that with a view of preventing any unnecessary delay, and of avoiding the obligation of coming forward on another night to ask for further information, he would now ask one or two questions, with regard to the extent of the information these papers would contain, for if they did not give what information he expected, he should undoubtedly feel it his duty to ask for more. One of the most important communications vas that of the date of the 2d of July, 1828; it bore directly on the whole question of the boundary, for it was particularly to the subject of the eligibility of the frontier to be chosen, with respect to the strength of the new State, and with a view to secure its prosperity. With that view, in an early part of the instructions to the Ambassadors, given on the 2d of July, 1828, their line of duty in this transac tion was distinctly pointed out. The instructions said " one of the most important and difficult ques tions for discussion will be the line of frontier to be proposed for the new State. It will be the ditty of your Excellency and of your colleagues, to collect the sentiments of the Greek Government on this subject, to receive their wishes, to weigh their argu ments, and to recommend such a decision as may be most consistent with equity and justice." Now he had carefully examined the papers already laid upon the table of the House, and he had not been able to find any communication made to the Govern ment in consequence of these instructions, either as to any communication with the Greek Government as to the nature of the boundary they desired, or as to their opinion of what kind of boundary was abso lutely necessary for the safety of their new State. lle wished to know whether the information rt.- quired would be found in the papers that were about to be laid on the table; whether it would be found in the Poros documents; and whether all the com munications from our Ambassadors were among-t them ? Perhaps the Noble Earl would also state, whether in the papers already laid on the table, the.e The Y ex of a pi to 56 66 8.6 00 :0 ! 0 10 10 0 !2 !I 6 !I 0 0 vt. 0 0 13 J.
