FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIs,Duc. 6.—The King yesterday presided at a Council of Ministers. The Ottoman Porte has refused to evacuate Moldavia and Wallachia. The continual rains have destroyed the wheat harvest in. several Provinces of the Russian Em pire, which has caused a rise in the price. The accounts from Catalonia, brought by the last courier, are satisfactory. On the 20th ult. the mortality was reduced to from 30 to 50 per daj, and of these 12 were ordinary sick. Eigh teen Spanish physicians have fallen victims to the epidemic. FR ENCII FUNDS. Dec. 5, Five per Cents. BB f. 10 c. Deferred Stock 99 f. 85 c. Bank Stock 1595 f. 50 c. Dec. 6, Five per Cents. Deferred Stock 99 f. 70 c. VIENNA, Nov. 23.—The preparations for war are actively continued in Turkey. All the Mus sulman population are ordered to be ready to march at a moment's notice. The Porte, it is said, persists in refusing to evacuate Moldavia aid Walachia. Irritated at seeing the revolu tion gain ground, and at the Boyards refusing to return to their homes, the Grand Signior has re solved on making a vast desert of these two principalities, to serve as a rampart against Russia. The Commanders in these provinces have received orders to this effect, and to this cause may-be attributed the progressive increase of the Ottoman forces in the provinces on the other side of the Danube. Nov. 25.—Since the return of the Prince de Metternich, the diplomatic activity of our Cabi net is greater than ever. The communications with the Court of London continue to be very frequent. A Courier has been sent to Peters burgh with dispatches, said to be very important. The Austrian Observer states, on theliutho rity of accounts from Venice of the 14th instal, that the Turkish fleet had entered the port of Sunda, to the North of Candia, where it appear ed to intend to remain during the winter. The Governor of Cyprus, who committed great cruelties against the Greeks, is stated to have been dismissed. FRANKFORT, DEC. I.—The Prince de Met ternich has held, at Vienna, the same language relative to peace as he held here, yet it has pro duced no effect on the public funds. HANOVER, Nov. 20.—During his Majesty's visit to Hanover, the Bishops of the kingdom re presented to him the afflicting and precarious situation of the constitution of the Church, and of the Ecclesiastical Establishments. We learn that his Majesty received the representation very graciously ; and, in answer to a Memorial from the Prince Bishop (Francis Egon) of Hilders helm, assured the Catholic Church and its Mi nisters of his protection in the most gracious terms, and expressed his regret at not having been able to become personally acquainted with a- Bishop who is distinguished by so many- emi nri.nt qualities. The Bishop i 3 pow 86 years of age. NOVEMBER 21.—His Royal Highness the Governor-General set out the day before yester day, for Gotha ; and Count llardenherg, the Minister of State, is gone to Vienna. The Ministry has published the following most gracious Letter from his Majesty to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and to the Cabinet A 1 inisters : " GEORGE the FOURTH, &c. &c. . " After a fortunate journey, 7 without any accident whatever, Re make it our first business tol:sequaint you of it, and, at the same time, to express the joy andlihe particular pleasure ,which we have derived from our first visit to our beloved German do minions. Circumstances, indeetl,4utve allowed us but a short stay this time ; and we were hindered by indisposition of pro fiting by this short period ; yet the universal fidelity and attach ment, and the prevailing zeal .for the welfare of the country, could not possibly escape us, since, wherever we turned our eyes, we found the confirmation of the conviction we had long enerishedin this respect. " As this our first visit to our kingdom of Hanover will re main indelibly impressed on our memory, so we shall at all times bear in mind what may tend to the duration and increase of its welfare, and never doubt the readiness of our faithful sub jects to contribute, every, one according to his ability, to the Same end. " We wish these our most gracious sentiments to be made known to the several Authorities, and to the country in ge neral, and remain, with brotherly friendship and affectionate regard, , " GEORGE R. " Carlton House, Nov. 9. 1821." • - Nov. 28.—The . Duke and Duchess of Cum berland left this city on the 24th, to return to Berlin. BEItLIN, Nov. 2-1.--On the 22d, the colossal statue of Blucher, from the model of Professor Rauch, was cast in bronze. The States of Silesia mean to erect it in Breslau, iii commemoration of the victory on the Katzbach. 11.4.11 LEM, Nov. 21.—A letter from Souracarta, in Java, of May 26, contains the following parti culars : " About a month ago, a very malignant dis order manifested itself among the native popula tion at Samarang. The Javanese, Malays, and Chinese, who were attacked with it, died for the 'post part after 12 hours indisposition ; many fell dove ii dead suddenly after a very short indisposition. This extraordinary mortality excited the atten tion of the faculty, and convinced them that the cholera morbus had reached the island. It soon attacked,the Christian population, and especially was very destructive among the military. The terror and confusion became _ general, and were soon followed by the flight of the Europeans to the mountains and cooler districts. On some days, when the thermometer rose from 95 to 100 deg. from - 160 to 180• persons died at Sama rang, as well islanders as Europeans 'and their descendants. The general distribution of good medicines, and the cooler weather, have already checked this disorder. flowever, of a company of European hussars of SO men, 25 have been buried ; and of five superior officers at Sama rang, two Majors, Engler and De pre. For per sons who have not enervated themselves by the use of strong liquors, for those who have a good con stitution, and a cheerful disposition, this disorder is not more formidable than an ordinary fever, provided they daily use the proper remedies. Poor Javanese, who wanted the inclination or the ability, have suffered most.—The sickness broke out here a few days after it appeared at Samarang. It is however of a less malignant description. Of 60 Europeans who were attack ed 16 have died: We have reason to hope that the cool weather and the approaching rice har vest will put an end to the sickness. Many per sons chiefly ascribe it to the bad food which the Javanese of the lower classes have been obliged to use for some months." We learn that the Squadron of the Netherlands in the Mediterranean, after leaving the Roads of Genoa, has been to Minorca, and has since sailed for Malta. HAGUE, DEC. 4.—From the Papers laid before the Second Chamber by his Excellency the Mi nister of Finance, it appears that the excess of the expenditure above the receipt on the Ist of January amounted to the sum of fl. 3,553,434. During the course of the year 1820, the Import and Export Duties and the Excise (levied ac cording to the existing regulation) fell short of the estimate by 11. 2,987,321. The revenue arising from the, duties of Registration and Do mains, as they are called, for the same year, fell short of the estimate by fl. 1,366,281. On com paring the produce of the first seven months of 1821 with that of the first seven months of 1820, there appears in the Import and Export Duties and Excise a deficiency of fl. 519,428 in this year compared with 1820. There is also a deficiency in the Registration and Domains for the same period. COPENHAGEN, Nov. 17.—Our Exchange has greatly improved within the last week, viz. from 160 to 250.—Accounts from IViborg, of the 4th, say, that snow had already fallen there. The dreadful storm which has lately raged bad thrown a vast quantity of wreck on the coast. SPAIN. CORTES, NOV. 22. The Assembly continued the debates on the projet of law pro posed by the Committee, for the prevention of smuggling. A cgnsideiable debate arose on the fourth article, by which the formalities to be observed when a house is suspected to contain contraband goods, are declared not to be necessary in the case of public houses, as inns &c. Many members declared this article to be equal in the eye of the law. Count Torreno and several others spoke in favour of the article, shelving that the case of an innkeeper into whose house any person, whether a smuggler or other criminal, might enter at pleasure, was very different from that of a private per Son, and that, in point of fact, inns were subject to particular regulations in all parts of Europe, otherwise they would be places of refuge for e malefactors and bad characters of every description. The article was carried by 7.5 votes to 42. SITTING OF NOV. 23. The debate on the Law to Prevent Smuggling was continued. The debate on the Penal Code was began. syrrlG OF NOV 24. The debate on the Penal Code was continued. None of the articles proposed wen: brought forward to be discussed sepa rately ; the debate has hitherto been on the merits of the gene ral question. In the Sitting of the 25th, the first article was read, with the paragraph lately proposed by the Committee, which runs thus : " As crime is any act, committed or omitted voluntarily and wilfully, with a bad intention, and with violation of the law, every voluntary act, contrary to the law; shall be presumed to be committed wilfully, and with bad intention, unless the con trary be proved by the author, or clearly appear." A long debate arose on the propriety of this definition of a crime, and the discussion was suspended till the following Sitting. MADRID, Nov. 24.—The Government has received an ex press from Andalusia ; we do not know the object of it, but as we have so much experience of the originality with which the fait-headed people of Seville have invented the method of imi tating the hot-headed people of Cadiz, we presume that it may relate to some patriotic constitutional effort not to receive the new Governor-General sentby the Government, and to keep the present one, who is more to their taste. The local militia of this city are prepal ing a representation to the Government, drawn up with those Constitutional senti ments that do honour to the individuals composing that body. —Perhaps we may be able to publish it to-morrow ; but we cannot do less now than inform our readers, that the militia, and the immense majority of the people of Madrid, have the sense and courage to resist the had examples of the perverse men who tyrannise over several capitals of the provinces. NOVEMBER 25. —The National Loan not having been filled up in the time appointed, it is said that the Minister of Finance has made a contract with the houses of Ardoin and lAfitte, of Paris, and of Hope, of Amsterdam, who are fir furnish one hundred and forty millions of reals, to be converted into inscriptions, at five per cent. interest, -the 'loss of the paper being fixed at Ca per 1000 ; the Dutch Loan, and that of last year, being to be converted into inscriptions in the same manner. Nov. 27.—The following is the representation addressed by the city of Cadiz to the permanent deputation of the Cortes, ac quainting it with the events of which the Minister of War gave an account to the Cortes : " TO TIIE PEIIMANMZT DEPUTATION 07 TIIE CORTES. " The fatal future, which the deputation of this province announced to the permanent deputation in the repres 'ation ad dressed to it in the night of yesterday has been re. ,zed—not with the dreadful excess to which the conduct of the Ministry might have given rise; but in a painful manner for every peace able citizen who desires nothing but order, calmness, and tranquillity. At the time when the report was circulated that Baron d'Andilla had arrived post-haste to take possession of the military command of the province and government of the garrison, agitation manifested itself among the citizens, who ran to the Authorities, entreating them not to permit the execu tion of the Ministerial Decrees. They founded, their opposition on the fact, that whatever was the private conduct of d'Andilla, they did not knew whether lie was devoted to the constitutional System, and still less whether he had given ,positive proofs of his attachment,wbich would permit them to surrender to him this fortress, one of the most important in Spain. This just dissatis faction increased in an astonishingdegree, when the public was in formed of the secret manoeuvres which had led to that arrangement of the Government : they have been so tortuous, that they . dis honour the elevated posts occupied by Ministers. The Ministers have, therefore, committed an offence of the gravest responsibility against good faith and the dignity of the King, who never could desire that Ministers invested with his confidence should, by their intrigues, shake the confidence of the nation reposed in his Majesty 'on the faith of his solemn promises. On this sub ject, the deputies to the Cortes from,this Province were charged by the Civil and Military Authorities of Cadiz to present the representations addressed to the King, demanding the dismis sal of Ministers, and that the command of this Province, and the Government of Cadiz, should not be given to any but men who were devoted to the constitutional system, as has been de scribed. When the deputies, after having fulfilled their duties, and entered into conference with the 31inisters to learn the re solution of his Majesty, and to communicate it to the Province, as they had been instructed to do, and as it was - proper to be done, and when the deputies hoped to receive from Ministers a definitive answer with the clearness and frankness which distin guish a just Government, they concealed from them the pre cipitate departure of Baron D'Andilla, as if he meditated a sur prise or a coup-de-main, imitating the conduct which an able General would follow to get possession of a hoitile fortress, or ra ttier acting like General Villavicencio, when he brought thither the chains of despotism. This conduct towards the deputies and the city of Cadiz has set the seal to every thing which preceded it, and has given an irrefragable proof of what the nation has said of the Ministry, when they decreed it an enemy of their in stitutions and their liberties. Such has been their hostility to ,our i ights, that if they committed only the last felony, it authorizes all cities and villages not to trust the present Ministers, and gives them the right of refusing obedience to the orders which should emanate from them, and which might coin promise the tranquillity in this province, since the supreme law is the safety and liberty of our country. The permanent De putation, as interested in the national safety, should be convinced of the necessity of the resistance which, on grounds so sacred, this province opposes to every order emanating from any Mi nistry which shall not have given positive proofs of its firm ad hesion to the constitutional system. In conformity with this ex post, and convinced that it is difficult to paint the degree of in dignation to which the inhabitants of this city have risen, we hope that, to avoid the fatal consequences which may now be foreseen, the permanent deputation will exert all the powers with which, in a case of such importance, the Constitution has invested it, by preserving our country from greater calamities than any which it has hithert6 experienced. " With this object, and that you may demand from Ministers, culpable to so high a de g ree, the responsibility enjoined by the Constitution, let" all the Authorities of this place address this representation to the permanent Deputation of the Cones. " Cadiz, Nov. 17.' [Here follow the signature of the Political Chief Jauregtiy, of all the Officers of the troops of the line and nulitia, and of all the municipal, administrative, and judicial Authorities.] The representation of the city of Corunna to the King against Ministers is • couched in► terms as strong and intemperate. Although the minds of the people are much heated in all parts of Spain, we are without alarm regarding result of the events which at this time occupy public attention. Some mea sures, conformable to the demands of public opinion, and announcing frankness and attach ment to the Constitution on the part of the De positaries of Power, will soon calm the prevalent discontents ; and it is generally believed that the agitation which we experience will ultimately only serve to give lustre and stability to constitu tional principles. It is affirmed that the permanent Deputation of the Cortes, always faithful and invariably at tached to constitutional principles, has resolved on not giving any answer to the representation of the provincial Deputation of Cadiz, until it has ascertained in a clear and precise manlier the in fractions of the Constitution of which Ministers have been accused ; and that, in this case alone, it will make a report of them to the future Cortes ; but as long as only vague accusations are ad vanced, without being supported by any proof, the Deputation will abstain from any act which may in any manner tend to change the Constitu tional system. It is reported that the Ministry will be dis missed, which is very probable ; and in this case, it is said that General Riego will be ordered to come to the capital and occupy an eminent post. His presence alone will be an important event. Addresses arrive from all quarters against the Ministry. It is reported that Mina is marching o❑ Ma drid with 30,000 men. The news from the Provinces is very unsatis factory. (BY AN EXTRAORDINARY CONVEYANCE.) MADRID, Nov, 27. The representation of the town of Cadiz to the permanent deputation of the Cortes has been inserted in the journals of this day, and has excited a lively sensation. At the same time 'it was made knoWn that the inhabitants of Cadiz had refused to receive the Baron Andilla, who had been sent thither in the quality of Commandant-General. It was generally expected that these events would be the object of a communication to the Cortes, and, in consequence, great numbers yesterday thronged to the Legislative hall. A few minutes after the opening of the sitting, one of the Secretaries, by order of the President, read the following Message : MESSAGE. FROM HIS MAJESTY TO THE COUTES. " It is with the most profound bitterness of heart that I have learned the late events,at Cadiz, where, under the pretext of at tachment to the constitution, they have trampled it under foot, by despising the rights which it vests in my person. I have commanded my Secretaries of State to present to the Cortes the details of so lamentable an event, in full confidence that they will co-operate with energy, in concert with my Government,in taking steps that the prerogatives of the crown, as well as public liberty (which is one of their guarantees), may be preserved inviolate. My desires are the same as those of the Cortcs—they have only for their object the observation and consolidation of the constitutional System ; but the Cortes know that the infractions which Ministers may commit against the rights of the nation arc as contrary to that system as are the excesses of those who attack the rights which the Constitution has reserved to the Throne. I hope, that in these solemn circumstances, the Cortes will give to our country and to Europe, a new proof of the spirit of conciliation which has always distinguished them ; and that they will take advantage of the occasion now offered, to contribute in the most efficacious manner towards the conso lidation of the Constitution of the Monarchy ; the advantages of which cannot be experienced, anti which would even be ex posed to immediate ruin, if the evils which we now deplore be not crushed in their birth. (Signed) " FERDINAND. " San Lorenzo, Nov. 1821." After the reading of the above message, the Minister of War addressed the assembly. He commenced by tracing the origin of the unhappy events at Cadiz. On the 18th of October, the Government appointed Lieutenant-General the Marquess de la Reunion, a man well known for his devotion to the Con stitutional system, Commandant-General of that town, with a view of thereby conciliating the spirit and promoting the interests of its inhabitants. He had scarcely arrived there, when they publicly evinced their dissatisfaction in so hostile a manner, that that functionary was compelled to solicit his retirement, in consequence of a declaration drawn up at a meet ing of the authorities of Cadiz, and despatched to the King, in which they declared that they would not recognise him : they added, that no cause of reproach existed against the Marquis, but that they mistrusted all persons deputed by his Majesty.— Baron Andilla had subsequently been appointed ; but his au thority had equally been defied, and he was 'breed to retire. to Uretra. General Moreno, who had 'been nominated to Seville, had also been met at Ecija by a deputation of the inhabitants of that city, who engaged him to proceed no fur ther, as they were determined not to acknowledge his authority. The Minister, in conclusion, regretted the imperfect manner in which he had discharged the duty which devolved upon him as a Minister, to detail these events. By profession a military man, he was not able at any time to address such an assembly with the necessary eloquence : but he assured them that, in dis charging so painful a task, he felt " more embarrassment than he experienced at the battle of Toulouse." A warm debate ensued ; Ministers were repeatedly attacked. Finally, on the proposition of M. de Torrello, the King's mes sage was referred to a special commission. Another commission was nominated, charged to propose to the Cortes the measures which it might be expedient to adopt, under existing circumstances. The assembly was about to adjourn, when M. Calatrava, re porter of the special commission, appeared, and read the projet of an address in reply to the King's .Message. It commences with thanking his Majesty forhis confidence in the Cortes, and assur ing him of their faithful co-operation to maintain inviolate pub lic liberty and the royal prerogative ; and that . they will, with out delay, take his message into consideration, and prove their determination to omit nothing towards the consolidation of the constitutional government.-•---The assembly then adjourned.

We hope that this just measure will check those who cherished hopes of introducing disorder into this city. SOUTH AMERICA. MINISTERIAL GAZETTE_ EXTRAORDINARY OF CHILI. SANTIAGO, AUG. 15, 1821.—1 t is not possible to describe the demonstrations of joy with which the people of Chili celebrated the news received of the liberation of the capital of Peru, accom plished by the valour and wisdom of General San Martin. At two o'clock in the afternoon of the 13th instant, arrived the first notice commu, nicated by the Governor of Valparaiso, enclos in.:, a duplicate of a dispatch from the General in-Chief. Nevertheless, as there were some papers worthy of credit in circulation, which an nounced the success, and the dispatch of the Governor said expiessly - that Lima had been freed by the arms of the country, a salvo of ar tillery and• general ringing of bells served as a signal for collecting an immense crowd to the Directorial Palace, where, being assured of its truth, the highest testimonies of pleasure were exhibited, - No other expressions were heard than those of a Live Our Country—Live Arne-1 rica—Live our Brothers the Peruvians—Long life to the heroes San Martin and O'Higgins !" This acclamation of enthusiasm extended rapidly to all the corners of the city, accompanied with the firing of rockets, which did not cease till the morning of the Lith. The whole of the city was illuminated in the night ; -military music paraded the streets ; and the whole people were em ployed in singing national songs and shouting victory. At ten o'clock in the morning of the 14th the colours of Rancagua, which were recovered in Lima, entered the city. An immense concourse of people again occupied the directorial palace, with the same demonstrations ,of joy, mingled with tender feeling at the sight of the colours of our country, retaken by the brave men who ex erted themselves for the liberty of our brethren. To satisfy, in some measure, their desires, it was necessary to read the official dispatches several times from the balconies of the palace ; and the people could scarcely be satisfied till two in the afternoon, expecting the news to be communi cated by an extraordinary gazette. In the mean time a salvo of 100 pieces of artillery, with the ringing of bells, announced the entry of the standhrds.—To-day, at 5 o'clock in the evening, there was sung at the cathedral a solemn Te Deana, at which all the corporations attended, as a commencement of a thanksgiving to the Su preme Author of the liberty wrought by the vir tuous Chilians. GAZETTE OF THE GOVERNMENT OF INDEPEN- DENT LIMA. 18TH .JULY, 1821. FIRST YEAR OF THE INDEPENDENCE OF PERU. NEWS OF THE ARM Y. By a communication from Bujama, under date of the 13th inst., we have the following :—" The enemy continue their precipitous flight, and leave in their march spectacles which would ex cite horror in the most insensible minds. From the time of our departure from Lurin, we have scarcely gone a step without traces of their bar barity. More than 30 dead bodies, some from weakness, and some froin disease, and others shot on the way because unable to pursue their march, have presented themselves to our sight, as the food of birds of prey. Rodil, according to unvarying accounts, has been the person who sacrificed the greater part of those victims. Dur ing yesterday and to-day we have met with 39 sick, of whom five have died. Ido not believe that the half will survive. The whole of these have been found in the open fields, but some re main likewise in this town, where a small hospi tal has been formed.—Yesterday, on our arrival, we learned that the enemy had broken up their camp from Coayllo at three leagues distance from this place, at the moment they heard of our ap proach. They directed their route towards 011111 s on the Sierra, and thence they will be able to proceed for Lunaguana, or for the pass of Yaugos. Immediately our advanced guard would he upon them, which by the dawn of this day would be at Coayllo. Desertion follows : between yester day and to-day they have sent to Lurin 24 prison ers to the order of the Governor of that place, that he may unite and embody them. We have likewise taken 50 lances, and several muskets. Ninavilca is about to join us with his party, and will instantly preceed with Vidal and the other commandants who occupy the Sierra, to prevent the enemy from enjoying an instant of repose." Another letter from the same place, and the same date, is expressed as follows :—" We have arrived at this place in pursuit of the enemy, who, proceeding in their cowardly flight, leave on the road indubitable evidence of their atrocity. I feel a horror at the crimes committed by Rodil and Valdes, and even endanger my credit by, mentioning them. They shoot all the soldiers ho, either by fatigue or infirmity, cannot con tinue their march, saying to them—' Die, wretches, rather than become our enemies.' Their dead are consequently numerous ; many fugitives pre sent themselves to us daily, without including the infinite number who escape by by-ways. These cowards, out of terror at our troops, have proceeded by indirect roads to the Sierra, com mitting at every step injuries and outrages. At this date the loss is not less than 500 men; and, further on, on account of the difficulty of the roads, the loss will be greater." [OFFICIAL A RTIC LE.] From the time that the Chief of the hostile army took measures for abandoning the capital, the General of the Liberating Army dispatched his orders to frustrate the intentions of the op pressors. They flattered themserves with the hope of concentrating their forces on the Sierra and destroying the troops of General Arenales ; bqt his Excellency, who had resolved not to risk the safety of Peru on the issue of a battle, and to spare the blood of his fellow-soldiers, till the liberty of Peru should be no longer in danger, has had the satisfaction of receiving communica tions, dated the 12th instant, from General Arenales, in which he states that he has received the last instructions relative to the movements of the enemy, and says, that every thing is disposed and ready to return opportunely to the defence of the capital, which will be effectually pro tected without exposing the inhabitants of the Sierra, or depriving them of the defence which their sacrifices and enthusiasm deserve. llis Ex cellency is taking effectual means that the army of the enemy be placed among a people who de test tyranny, and may thus remain isolated, be coming thus weak in proportion as they are un just and opposed to the general will. DESPATCI! OF HIS EXCELLENCY SENOR D. JOSE DE SAN MARTIN I TO TILE ARCHBISHOP OF LIMA. _ _ _ " Most Excellent and most illustrious Sir—The intelligence which I have received that your Ex cellency remains in the capital, notwithstanding its evacuation by the Spanish troops, has consoled my heart with the idea that your venerable per son will be a sacred shield against the attempts of licentiousness, to which your city has been ex posed, by late events placed at the disposal of my army. By my public proclamations I have manifested to Peru, and have presented before the human race, my wishes for the prosperity and the 'liberty of your country : my actions have not hitherto belied my promises, and I congratulate myself that, your Excellency has been in a situation to observe the especial protection which .1 have given to our holy religion, td its temples, and its ministers. If thence I have a right to hope from your faith in my solemn promises, I invoke the influence and power of your holy ministry, that joining your salutary counsels to those of the Priests of the Lord, you may co-operate and influence all of them to preserve order in the . -city, respect for ,peaceable citizenF, and inspire - confidence and security into minds that are at present agitated. I flatter myself that the apostolic zeal of your Excellency will fulfil my desires, and that when the fatal ravages of war-shalt have disappeared, and Lima shall enjoy tranquillity in its liberty and independence, you will enjoy the •glory of having contributed to its tranquillity in moments of'conflict, and of remaining always in the eleva tion of your ministry, the bulwark of peace, re ligion and morals.

This morning, upon corning into Court, the Loan Cnax- CELLOn informed Mr. Shadwell and- Mr. Sugden, that his Majesty had been pleased to appoint them two of his Counsel learned in the Law, and he therefore desired that they should take their seats within the Bar. The Learned Gentlemen ac cordingly took their seats within the Bar. BOLD V. STEWART. The Loan CHANCELLOR said he was not induced, upon re flection, to alter the observations which he had made upon the aboVe case yesterday. lie was still of opinion that the question at issue must be decided by a trial at law. -The only difficulty which remained was to know what to do with the outlawries.— He wanted to know whether the solicitor had obtained for hint the information which he had yesterday desired him to seek, re specting the mode of- proceeding by a Sheriff under an out lawry. •(A solicitor here handed a raper to his Lordship). lie was furnished with the certificate of Mr. Burchell, a Gentleman of great experienCe in the office of Sheriff of Middlesex, and it exhibited a very comtbrtable state of the law. Instated, that it was the practice of the Sheriff, in case of an execution against a debtor in a partnership; to seize all the chattels„and effects of the partnership; and expose to sale the share or the debtor in them. The interest of the debtor in the partnership was also sold. All this was done, without any reference to the partner ship books, in order to ascertain what were the debts of the firm. Mr, Burchell said he did not know what the practice of the 'Sheriff was in cases of extent and outlawry, but lie believed it to be the same as in execution. He (the Lord Chancellor) thought it impossible that the state of the law could be as was described. He could not rest satisfied with the information he already possessed, and he would there:A:re delay his final judg ment till Monday, - in order to afford himself time to make fur ther inquiries on the subject.

This was an action of trespass, brought to try the right of public passage through a part of Little Abingdon-street. Mr. MAR RYAT, for the plaintiff, contended that the locus in quo was a mere yard leading to the private property of indivi duals. It led to two wharfs, and to a couple of houses built by, and belonging to, the owner of the soil. GURNEY relied, for making out a thoroughfare. upon three facts. First, there had been such a permission of public passage as amounted to dedication on the part of the ground landlord : next, the spot in question was known by the name of, and laid down in public documents as, Little Abingdon-street : lastly, it had for 50 years been regularly watched, paved, and lighted by the public. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE attached no weight to the last two circumstances ; and observed as to the first, that the•per-. mission of public thoroughfare had been, not by the owner of the soil, but by his lessee. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages Is., sub ject to the revision of the Court. • COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dcc. 8. BEER ANT) OTHERS V. WARD. The Court resumed its tonsidaation of this case 'at ten o'clock, when a few witnesses were called on the part of the (1. - fendant to prove the words writtten on the envelope containing the certificate, to be the hand-venting of William Cotton sen.— The plaintiffs then. produced evidence in reply, which went to shew that the signatures to the affidavit for the license and;to the bond of indemnity, as well as the writing on the envelop - e 7 were not the signatures for the hand -writing of that gentle man. Mr. SCAR LET T then addressed the Jury for the defendant. He observed that the evidence which had just been adduced, was brought forward not to satisfy theminds of the Jury on the, question of Mr. Cotton's hand-writing, but merely to raise a doubt in their minds whether the signatures to the affidavit ar d the bond, and the words on the envelope of the certificate; were written by him. He wished to reminclthern that this certificate had been proved by the production of the books from the Arch deaconry-office. To that place it 'had been transmitted in due course of business, and had been registered there by the proper authority. It was therefore proved to have been actually made at the time it purported to bear date, and might be considered so far as an ancient document. But whether it had been forged, or whether it was genuine, the plaintiff's case was equally-defeated. If forged, no marriage whatever had been proved, and the plaintiffk could not claim, as heirs at law, being illegitimate; if it was genuine, 'then the property must have belonged .to• Evelyn Rowland Cotton, he having been the first child born after the marriage, and by him it had been given to Mr. Ward, so that, in either case, the verdict must be for the defendant. - • The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, at this late hour, when the Court, the Jury, and the Counsel were exhausted by their attendance, he felt himself obliged, especially when he consi dered the importance of the cause, to ask that its further con sideration might be postponed,to Monday. If his request wa s not granted, he was confidenthe should not be able to do ius tice to the part with which his clients had entrusted him.—The Court then adjourned. , W. B.
