FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. Nov. 10.-_ The reports of war which have been circulated during 'Change hours have produced a considerable fall in the routes; they were in the course of the day 86f. 50c. The Spa )lish funds fell to 43f., and closed at 45f.—( Le Facile of Sunday.) In the interval from noon until three o'clock yesterday, twenty-seven commercial couriers were dispatched to England and Holland.— (Idem.) M. de Villele, father of M. the Count de Vil lele, Minister of Finance, has departed this life at Toulouse.—(L'Etoile of Saturday.) We shall publish shortly the conditions of the loan contracted with M. Ouvrard, by the Re gency of Spaiii.—(Mid.) A letter from Bayonne, dated Oct. 31, says— " The military preparations are carried on here with as much activity as ever, and the troops are animated with the best spirit. Being out re cently on a campaigning exercise, and fully - ac coutred, the soldiers, convinced that they were marching against the Spanish Constitutionalists, proceeded shouting Vive le Roi! And we are assured that, if necessity, should require forced .tharches, they would not feel fatigued, so ardent are they to cope with the enemies of all legiti mate Governments." The Journal de Perpignan gives the following intelligence :---" M. the Viscount de Peccadeuc, Major-Gen. destined to take the command of one of the brigades of infantry of the Eastern Pyren pees division, has arrived at Perpignan, as also General the Baron. D'Ecqueville, and the Bri gade Commandant Breton, who have been nomi nated Lieutenants of the King ; the former of whom will take the command of Perpignan, in the room of Major-Gen. Baron Pouget, and the latter the command of the citadel of the town, in the room of Brigade-Major Poyer. M. the Mar quis of Vence, Peer of France, Major-General, is daily expected here, to take the command of the cavalry of the division. The park of artil lery in our vicinity is about to be augmented. — The troops are daily exercised under the, orders of M. the Viscount Vasserot, Commandant of the Department,' and Lieut.-Gen. Count Curial, Commandant of this district. The exercise of the artillery has commenced. Various move ments have just been made in order to concen trate the troops as much as possible, and to fa cilitate their formation into brigades." VIENNA, OCT. 29.—The latest accounts from Constantinople, which are of the 10th of this month, bring but little that is of any importance. The new Imperial Internuncio, Baron Von Ot •tenfels, arrived there on the 3d, and though he travelled incognito, had been every where re ceived by the Turkish Authorities with the most marked respect on the whole journey through Wallachia, Bulgaria, and Rumelia. After the formal notification of his arrival in the capital, he received the customary complimentary visit from _the Dragoman of the Porte. His public audiences of introduction to the Grand Vizier and Sultan were fixed for the 12th and 15th of October. On the 10th Count Lutzow, the late Internuncio, -paid, his farewell visit to the Turkish Ministry. The reception given him on this 'occasion was perfectly answerable to the relations of amity subsisting between the two empires. Count Lut zow intended to set out a few days after, on his return to Vienna, by the way of Bucharest." The capital enjoyed undisturbed tranquillity. More favourable accounts had been received from the Persian frontiers. Selim Paella, who commanded in Musch,had made an attack in the night on the Persian camp, on which occasion he took \ not only much booty, but many prisoners of distinction, who were expected to arrive at Con stantinople. On the' 9th the Aga of the Janissaries was de posed, and the Kull Kiaja appointed in his place. This change is supposed to have been occasioned by some disputes in the corps on the approach of the Divan for paying the troops, which is, fixed for the 18th of this month. . _ The plague has lately spread among the troops of Ibrahim Pacha, at Bujukdere, Jenikoj, and Arnautkoj. . Atfera no case of the plague had occurred for the last fortnight. With respect to the affairs in the Morea, no. thing was known at Constantinople more recent than the reports which we lately gave from Corfu Zante. OCT. • 28.—Metalliques, 851, Bank Shares,. 9311. Oct. 29.—Metalliques, 86—Bank Shares, 9354:—(Aua , trian Observer, October 29 and 30.) FROM THE DANUBE, OCT. 26.—We have news from Greece by may of Venice to the be ginning of this month. The most important article in them is, that a Turkish corps had arrived in Thessaly from the right bank of ;the Danube, which had previously been stationed :.about Nicopolis and Sophia. It is said to be 8,000 strong ; other accounts say it is only 5,000 strong, and has had to fight its way to Kojant ,and Servia, where the Greek troops that had ad vanced from Platamona were stationed. It, was not known whether this Turkish corps would be followed by others. No reinforcements from itumella had arrived in Macedonia. There were no accounts whatever from Salonichi, that place . being blockaded by a Greek squadron. A Greek .corps from Acarnania, under the brave Bozzaris, is said to have penetrated as far as Tricala, in Thessaly, but ‘ to have been compelled to retreat by Chourschid Paella, who immediately advanc ..ed from Larissa with a very superior force.— , Nothing new was known from the Morea, except that an expedition _was preparing against Thessa -)y, and that a fresh struggle will begin for the possession of that province.. The IVloreots, how ever, do not intend to hegin their march thither -till Napoli . di Romania shall have fallen into their hands. .•- .LcononN, OCT. 25.—The Greeks here have letters froth their countey, which state that there were naval actions 'on the 20th, 22d, and 26th of September, in *Which, according to -their own .confession, no advantage was obtained, because they tvere to leeward, and therefore could not send their fire-ships against , the large Turkish vessels. They had succeeded in fastening a fire - ship, to an Algerine frigate, but it was extin .guished without doing any injury. The Greek Admiral's ship got•.between two Turks, each 01 which gave it a broadside and then . sheered off, fearing- might ben .fire-ship. This .suSpic.ion seems to be a chief cause .that the Turkish ships seldom venture to come near to the Greeks.' Some French ships of war were cruising off Hydra, which had some disputes with the Greeks, in consequence of which some shot had been fired by the ships against the island.. Letters from Malta say, that the Maltese ,are in great hopes that the Congress will re-establish the Order of Malta, and restore the island to the Knights ! FREIBURG, OCT. 30.—The Journal of this place contains the following article :—" A friend to the Greeks, who is just arrived from France, brings positive information that no person now obtains permission to 'embark from France for Greece—that every traveller who should attempt to enter France with this view will be sent back to the frontiers—and that the Philheilenes, who are still at Marseilles, will immediately return to Germany." • FROM THE DANUBE, OCT. 26.—One of our papers, which is distinguished by giving diplo matic intelligence which,.i s frequently very cor rect, contains the following article : " A chief object of the new European Congress is now stated to be a farther developement of the quintuple alliance formed , at the Congress of Aix-la:Chapelle. The consolidation of the intimate union between the five European Powers, who have assumed, by way of distinction, the denomination of the Great Powers, and by this-mean% the greater security of the monar chical principle in Europe, is too much the interest of all not to form one of the main objects of their policy. For this reason, and to the end that this unanimity may continue uninterrupted, every thing is to be avoided that might tend to diminish it. Hence it is said to be agreed upon, that each of the Cabinets shall desist from acting alone, and that nothing shall be under taken but with the consent of all. ' It is reported that various extravagant projects, the execution of which was perhaps to the interest of individual Cabinets, have been laid•aside, be cause they did not 'obtain the approbation and assent of the others. There is to be n 9 armed interference in the internal affairs of Spain, any more than in those of Turkey. , " The manifold reports that circulate in Germany respecting the general measures which the great Powers assembled at the Congress intend to adopt, appear to be extremely exaggerated, and rather to have originated in apprehensions than to be founded on real facts. But it is certain, that at the close of the Congress a Manifesto will be issued in the name of the five great Powers, which must solemnly declare their. perfect con cord for the future, and their love of peace." 4 FRANKFORT, Nov. 2.—The Court,of Austria has sent a circular note to all the Governments of the German Confede ration, to the effect that not the slightest change is contem plated by the reat Powers in the existing Constitution of the German Confederation, as that Confederation perfectly an swers the 'object of its existence, the general policy of Europe ; and that any alteration which circumstances may require, may be easily effected by the Confederation itself, the principles of the Holy Alliance guaranteeing the perfect integrity of all the States of the German Confederation. • Nov. 3.—We have accounts from Vienna which say, that the stay of the Emperor at Verona is expected to be of longer duration than was at first supposed. SPAIN. CIRCULAR OF THE POL . ITI6.i CHIEF OF BILBOA TO THE mworsTßA-ii:s OF THAT DISTRICT. " All they who have taken arms against their country, or who have taken flight into France without permission from the Established Government, and have united themselves to the conspirators against the Constitutional System, have thereby directly attacked the property of all loyal ciAtent - -, the one, by committing ex4tlcoo:ol:,'The'''public and' on individuals; the others, by furnishilik*llS, assistance, and planS to the former : And as they therefore are responsible in their property for all the evils which they have accumulated on the nation, you are therefore required instantly to sequestrate the goods and chattels belonging to all such persons, as well as to all who are notoriously disaffected to the lawful authorities • a law will be enacted by the Cortex for the application of the funds arising from the sale thereof to the relief of all who have suffered from their 'evil doings. "You are also required to send particular reports of the con duet of all such individuals to the regular authorities, and also of all property which you shall sequestrate. " Btlboa, Oct 16, 1822." According to the latest news from Catalonia, the sciitliers of the Army of the Faith, whose number was considerably in creased by the promise of 20 sole per day, and plunder, besides the aid of 100,000 foreign troops, are nOw much discouraged, and hasten to return to their homes to profit by the amnesty granted to those who will leave the rebels. The siege of the Seo Urg el must have now begun.—(Cuurier Francais.) CITY, MONDAY EVENING. The arrival of several expresses this morning added to the panic which existed in Public Securities of every description last Saturday. Consols for the Settlement at the end of this month closed on Saturday at 81, opened this morn-. ing at 804, suddenly fell to 79, and gradually during the day recovered themselves so far as to close at 80i It having been early known, that in 'Paris last Saturday the French Itentes had undergone a great decline, • they opened here at 85, were afterwards done at 86, and finished at 87. — In the Spanish Bonds, however, the depression was extremely heavy. At one time those of 1821 were done so low as 53, and the Scrip was at a discount of Ten per Cent. Russian, Prus sian, and Neapolitan Bonds also underwent a great decline , and the alarm was extremely general. The most prominent rumour was the _ mission of Special Messengers from the Holy Allied Sovereigns to the Spanish Cortes, to endeavour to prevail on that body so to alter the Constitution of their coun try as to bring it within the . views of the Legitimate Despots. Tow far this rumour is authentic, or whether the high minded Spanish Nation will yield obedience to the dictation of foreigners in-the regulation of their internal affairs is a Natter on which different opinions are no doubt entertained. In Mark.-lane there is a considerable supply this morning of Wheat, the quality of which is not so fine as the former deli veries of the last crop. Prices .are consequently about is. per quarter lower than on this day week • though had the samples been equally good, probably this decline would not haVe taken place.

EXTRAORDINARY JACKDAW.—A jackdaw in the poSSession of Mr: Samuel Taylor, of Loughborough, is be come so domesticated, that last week it accompanied one of his sons to Mr. Barnley's, of Sheepsfleld-fields, a distance of four miles, 'generally flying about a field .before him, thither and back; and a few days ago it also went with him to Bar row; and whilst he stepped into a public-house on some hnsiness, poor jack perched on the sign-post," &c. where some boys amused themselves by . throwing at it, until he came out, when, as if rejoiced to see him, it came down and alighted on his . shoulder, and afterwards kept hovering about him all the way home. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, NOVEMBER 11. TIIE PORTSMQUTII CAUSE PUBLICATION OF THE PROCtEDINGS. • At the meeting of the Court at 9 o'clock, Mr. HANsow com plained that, in contempt of his Lordship's desire the proceed ings had been published, in the newspapers. In the Observer, which he held in his hand, there was also a misrepresentation which was very, injurious to Lady Portsmouth. It was stated that Lord Portsmouth had come to town on Saturday, and mar ried on the Monday following; but, -in fact, Lord Portsmouth had come to town on the 28th of - February, and the marriage was not celebrated till the 7th of March. The LORI) CitaNcELLon said, that since he walked in • Westminster Hall, he understood that no publication should take plitee until the whole case was closed. It was me: lancholy to see that in this case ex-parte statements should have' been published' without the contradiction or reply. It was the More. melancholy, as all the accounts published were extreme, ly incorrect.. Ile believed the more respectable papers had not published. It was obyious that in • all cases of this nature the accusation and defence should go together. Mr. Hon:; g . then proceeded -.with his arguments, and re peated his former remarks of Mrs. Siitherland's affidavit. lie referred to the affidavit of Mr.'Brodie, which stated that Mrs. Sutherland had told him that Lady Portsmouth herself opened the door Ovhen she (Mrs., Sutherland) went for the plums. , , With respect to Lady POrtailiOuth not having made an affida vit, be would here .mention that they were led to understand that Counsel were retained in the Consistory Court. Was it not so ? Mr. HART said he knew nothing about it. The. Counsel for the petition were not come into Court. Mr. •HORNE proceeded. The innkeeper's wife atJudburgh deposed, that :she saw Mr. Alder . resting his head on Lady Portsmouth's lap, and that - when she went up stairs With 'hot water, Lady Portsmouthwas shaving his Lordship, and said -to him." You old fool,. if . you don't remain quiet I will cut, your throat:" Here•was evidence enough of Lady Portsmouth's affection and careful attehtiOn to his Lord Ship : but that was all that coulithe believed-froni this-affidavit. It was deposed that' there were no servants with them. Was that credible ? Would a noble family of their rank and opulence go into Scotland with out a servant? Having thus dkposed of the Scottish part of the evidence, he- now came to the only English evidence to the same charge. It was the evidence.of Capy, a discarded servant. The fact he swore to was of the grossest kind. This was an obser vation of some importance on this point. No indelicacy, no levity was spoken to previously to the grossestand moat shame less acts of adultery. Nothing of this kind had been mention ed, excepting one kiss. Yet .all at once they both became so degraded, that they acted more like brute beasts than human beings. Where was the evidence of discarded servants ? Where were the intercepted letters ? Where were the circumstances which led them to this state of disregard for moral feeling . and legal consequences ? If they were not absolutely irrational and insane, and their object ; was not to prove the child a bas tard and the mother ti iris impossible to believe such conduct. Caps' said that he had suspected his Lordship was very ill-used, and therefore pretended to go home tQ his own house, , but in fact went only to the house of a neighbour of the name of I Webster, and returned again to Fairlawn at night. The LORD CHANCELLOR asked what became of Webster? Mr. HonNE said he knew not. . Mr. BELT said they might get his affidavit in contradiction. Mr. IlonNE.-s-And from this the spirit of the proceeding might be learnt. The counsel for the petition gave the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help them God. This man, Capy, stated that his room being in the attic.above, at one o'clock in the morning he heard footsteps passing from the bow-room to Lord and Lady Portsmouth's room. At four o'clock he went down stairs, opened. the door, and looked into Lord and Lady. Portsmouth's bed. Mr. Alder was there awake and saw him. Ile was in bed with lord and bads , Ports mouth. Mr. Shad Well. spoke of the affidavit of Miss Miller in contradiction, as a theory of,,sounds ; but the fact she stated was most material. Therooms were all thickly carpeted. The house,-too, was of a solid structure, having been built by an architect for his own house, anti it was well known that-it was a-particular object to make the ceiling so that no sound should be heard above it. Why did, not Capy go at once into Mr. Alder's room, and learn whether he was there or not ? But went to his Lord's, and there he saw three in bed. Pigs, or prisoners in the hulks, might be seen lyin so ; but that Lord and Lady Portsmouth and. Mr. Abler should be so seen lying M bed; was utterly incredible. This was . . only once. Now Lord Portsmouth complained of-many.' things against Alder, but there was no complaint of this. This, happened in 1818, but the love of virtue made Mr. Capy- conceal. It till , lately. He had the effrontery and audacity to go, itL,this manner, into a Peer and Peeress's room that Lord Portsmouth might not be wronged, and yet, till this time, no hint escaped him of his discovery-.•-not, even to Mr. Webster. if the truth were investigated, not only-would the story be found to be false, but that he had imagined lie beard. his Lord's footsteps leaving the room, and through his Lady was left to his bruta lity. It would turn out that he had the audacity to attempt the honour of Lady Portsmouth, anti that that was the cause of his being turned away. These were' all the circumstances to establish-the adultery. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, there was an affidavit by Charlotte Miller, to a great many facts. She could speak to many facts more on which the affidavit was silent. She might make an additional affidavit, but if that was not liable to ob servation, there was an end to the administration of justice. Mr. HORNE.—She could not depose to what Capy .stated of what happened at night in the room. In Jedburgh only' the three parties were present, and-therefore no contradiction could be given to that by Miss Miller. Dr. Hamilton saw Lady Portsmouth the very day after her arrival, and. every day after-- wards. On his advice she changed her purpose of leaving Edinburgh soon, and stayed there till her delivery. He swore, to the propriety and delicacy of her conduct. Not one servant spoke to any impropriety there, although they had been tam pered with, as he would show. The LORD CHANCELLOR.—Take the affidavit of Ann Evans, for instance, and compare it with Charlotte Miller's.— Her- affidavit was no mere an answer than if none had been made:. Mr. HORNS—Charlotte Miller deposed that she had never 'seen any familiarity. This was no answer, but it was a general testimony. - The Loan CHANCELLOR—Take one circumstatice---the story of the plum-pudding; singular'as it is, Charlotte Miller might contradict. The deficiency of her affidavit is ustrong presumption that the other witnesses speak the truth. Mr. HORNE assured his Lordship that his ideas would be much altered upon that subject, - His Lordship would admit that the affidavits of the most respectable persons, and infinitely entitled to the greatest credit, were generally liable to such ob jections, and that the least credit was due to those who swore to the pinch. - •. • T4e LORD CHANCELLOR—Ann Evans deposes that Char. lotte Miller told her that Mr. Hanson disapproved of Mr. Alder's familiarity, and that Miss Hanson secreted his coat and hat On - an occasion when -Mr. Hanson .same .to Fairlawn, and that Mr. Alder went privately away in a coach, Did she say so, or did she not ? Mr. Holism said that point would be met. In August, 1821, Lady Portsmouth miscarried. That was known to the -other side, and no imputation was made either against Lord or Lady Portsmouth. What answer could they give to that now? They would say, perhaps, that they thought it an attempt to impose a supposititious child. There was afterwards an anony mous letter from London to Dr. Hamilton. This showed the same suspiCion. The affidavit of Joseph Cole, coachman,stat. ed that they livedbappily, that Lord Portsmouth showed great affection and kindness to her, and she great attention and kind ness tnhim. It stated that William Piper, who kept the Bull, in Edinburgh, came to deponent in Dublin-street, and induced him to go to Smith's, in Thistle-street, to have some drink. He asked deponent if Mr. Alder lived with 'LOrd Portsmouth, who was one of his trustees: Miss Laura Hanson,. who was not the less ..to be credited 'for the imputation or Mrs. Evans, which ought to drive her out of Court, deposed to two instances of Mr. Alder striking Lord Portsmouth. He hoped Mr. Alder • would confirm this. A man was a ruffian who struck a woman, but not mad. Let his friends on the other side apply - .pon this subject to Sir R. Birnie at Bow-street. The practice was much Put down, and no better means of putting it down could be named than striking the man who was guilty of it in return. Miss Hanson deposed to Loyd and Lady Portsmouth being in the bed-room when M‘Gregor nailed the cloth above the door, and to Mr. Alder Iv* in the parlour below. - She did strike Lord Portsmouth once with a whip in play, to get him from his wine to walk in the garden. He went to Mr. Birnie, who came and used gross language to Lady 'Portsmouth. It was. hoped that lie knew better-since he became Sir Richard. Miss .Han son was then 14 years of age, the very age at which they would suppose much play fulness towards a father, an uncle, or. an aunt. Mr. Wetherell w as n ot'a father, and might be excused for intbrpreting this circumstance as he did. But the Attorney and might be supposed to unbend occa knewbu t n is t v e h whether sufferedAt e Attorney-Gene ral esneel-f General had a' family, anti sionally with them. He rtoalbleiatdic‘kvlbeidPsabinouhtisthheourgoetim, perhaps his boys were not old enough, but he (Mr. Horne) -could lend him two or three boys, • who had a whole magazine of whips, and who would soon give him as much reason to go to Mr. Birnie es Lord Portsmouth had, and enable him to show as many marks on his face. The LORD CHANCELLOR.—And oh his neck ? Mr. Ho'tNE.—On the face and neck. These are parts easily wealed. There were parts more. used to the whip, on which no weal would appear : but on the face, and a face more grown and weaker than the Attorney-General's would soon be affected by the touch of a whip. He begged now to do justice to the adroitness with which Lord Portsmouth had been carried away from Lady Portsmouth in her peculiar situation. It shewed adroitness, but he could not commend its humanity. He could not call it any thing but brutality. It might have occasioned palsy in her situation—it might be expected, and he feared it was hoped, that it would occasion the death of the infant. Dr. Hamilton, before he told it, found it was necessary to take from the weak and nervous woman 40 ounces of blood. He .put it whether there could be an act of greater cruelty, if even they were certain of what they suspected. One word here of the adultery. If it were true, would she not have betrayed it after that, and would not Dr. Hamilton, whom they all admit ted to be a man of honour ; have stated it in his affidavit ? Lord Portsmouth was now in captivity and thraldom of mind and bOdy.. 'When the physicians examined his Lordship, he had not voluntarily left his family, but had been entrapped from them. That they who had carried him away bad explain ed to him why he should leave Lady Portsmouth there could be no doubt. %%That, then, was the illusion ? Lord Portsmouth had been imposed upon by erparte statements. To husbands, whose suspicions were artfully excited, " trifles light as air were confirmation strong as proofs of holy writ." The point which lie felt pressed most strongly upon his clients, and would_ press the more, as they were quite innocent, was, that Lady Portsmouth and Mr. Alder could make no affidavit. If the adultery were out of the question, this case was not at all to be distinguished from that which his Lordship formerly refused. The tape and lancet, if supposed to operate as a charm, would prove illusion and a mind diseased but they were proved to have been used, and, therefore, formed evidence only of de pravity ef mind. His Lordship would not, then, upon such evidence, consige a woman to perpetual infamy. It struck him with astonishment that the Counsel the the husband should not struggle against this application to the utmost. The happiness and honour of Lord Portsmouth were as much involved as his Lady's. If the husband should, after a lapse of time find the womanwho was thus traduced innocent, and his child legiti mate; and see the door shut against all reparation, would it not be the consummation of misery? A man in that situation might be said to stiller in his breast " the worm that never dies." He (Mr.. Home) entreated his Lordship not to expose Lord Portsmouth to that state. if the commission should be granted on the ground of adultery—and the public would feel that if it should be granted, it was upon that ground—what mischief would it not cause to Lady Portsmouth, to Lord Portsmouth, and to all connected with them ? If his Lordship refused, what difficulty could arise from it ? They might proceed in another Court ; and if they could prove adultery, they could not doubt that the consequence would be to get rid of the infamous adultress. The LOUD CH`ANCELLOR—Is not that one of the greatest difficulties in the case ? If Lord Portsmouth lay in the same bed with the adulterer, and is a sane man, how can he get a divorce ? If he is of sane mind, he can get no redress. Mr. Horteree-That is only sworn to by Capy, and according to his evidence Lord Portsmouth was asleep. Mr. HEALD rose on the same side at a quarter past 12. • The Loan CHANCELLOR wished all affidavites filed since the cause came on to be handed to him at this stage. (Mr. Hanson's was handed to his Lordship.) Mr. HEALD began by expressing his fears that his Lord shii's patience would be exhausted. The LORD CHANCELLOR-1 have patience for it, if the case were ten times'longer. Perhaps it is the only good quality I have. Mr. HEALD 'said he considered that he and those who were with him were for Lord Portsmouth as well as for Lady Ports mouth. The solicitor who employed Mr. Hart knew nothing of his Lordship or of his estates. The young man who was now Petitioner was just turned 21. The Earl of Portsmouth had entailed all his estates upon his brother, failing of heirs male to himself. The brother had therefore strongly objected to his Lordship's marrying a young woman, and had been very anxious that he should marry an old woman. When the former application had been made to his Lordship, Lord Byron made an affidavit, stating . that that Noble Lord had given this lady away in marriage in Bloomsbury-church ; and that in going to church, the Earl of Portsmouth said to him that he had been acquainted with Miss Hanson from her infancy, and hadfelt great affection for her, and that since the death of his wife, his affection had ripened into love. The Earl of Portsmouth had consulted Lord Byron abOut his marriage.— Lord Byron-said he saw no objection to it. The shorter the time was, the less likely was it that there could have been com pulsion. The marriage to a young lady was of course dis agreeable to his Lordship's brother. The- first Lady Ports mouth had been an elderly lady. The LORD CHAN C ELLOR.—It is but justice to Lady Ports mouth to say, that no communication hail been made to her respecting Lord Portsmouth before marriage, so that she could linow,nothing of him except wriat'She might have observed in conversation with him. It doee appear that Mr. Newton Fel lowes was extremely averse to a marriage with a young lady, advanced in lite. Mr. Neeitton Fellows swears that Mr. Han son repeatedly assured him that Lord Portsmouth could never have any family ; but that after the marriage, be intimated with considerahle • satisfation that Lady Portsmouth was preg nant. "How can that be," said Mr. Newton Fellowes, " for you told me that it could not be so ?" The same question was asked by Lord Grantley and by Mr. Justice Best. Mr. Han sen denied that be had said so. Mr. Hanson now swears that Mr. 'Newton Fellowes always had that idea of Lord Portsmouth that he • did hot wish to undeceive him, and that he had not told him all that the woman had told him. upon whose audio eity he had confirmed the idea of Mr. N. Fellowes. 1 wish my Lord Granite>. and Mr. Justice Best would make affidavits to let us know how it was. From a comparison of the affidavits; it was likely that Mr. N. Fellowes would have complained more of the marriage, if he had not believed that Lord Ports mouth could have no family. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL expressed an apprehension that Lord Grantley's state of health would not admit of his making an affidavit. The LORD CHANCEL LOR.—Mr. Justice Best will make an affidavit upon it. Nine-tenths of the affidavits in the former case were irrelevant. This false idea ran through all, that the effect of a commission would be to place Lord Portsmouth un-• der the care of this Court. The object of the commission is to ascertain that very point. Mr. HEALD was willing to argue the case as if the Court were to decide upon the sanity or insanity. The Lon n CHANC ELLOR.—The Constitution of this couns try, thank God, does not enable any man or court to treat a person as a lunatic without the verdict of a Jury. If a corn-. mission issues', it is no proof in the world of a conviction of adultery or insanity in my mind. ,The party has afterwards a right to traverse or to complain of the verdict of • the Jury. I wish this to be 'distinctly understood. Mr. proceeded. There were three acts of adultery sworn te, and be would examine every circumstance stated with respect to them He would minutely investigate every single circumstance in this case. He had already shewn - that no imputation attached to her Ladyship from the manner of her marriage, And he would show that gratitude for his affec tion for her, and for raising her to a rank beyond what, she could heve expected, had excited tenderness, fondness, and affection' on her part, which were not surpassed by the most virtuous woman in Fngland. The first act was sworn to by Capy. No day was given : that would have been inconveni ent. It was in 11318. Three years had gone away, and . this' great secret was kept in the breast of Mr. Capy : now the birth of a child had .biought this petition into Couft , and drawn the secret from Mr. Capy. No act of insanity was pre tended to have occurred since the former application. Mrs. Want, an old servant in the family, 'whose husband was still in the service of Lady Portsmouth, swore that she recollected only one night that Capy went from home ; but Capy swore lie went frequently. But there would be affidavits tiled 'both by Lady Portsthouth and by Mr. Alder. From the moment Lady :Poetsmouth heard of the imputations, she said it was monstrous.—" I will .make affidavit of their falsehood. I have 6,imintif intercourse with the schoolfellow of my father ! It is monstrous." The smile Counsel who had dissuaded Lady Portsraouth from making an affidavit, had prevented the Soli citor !from letting Mr. Alder knOw any thing of it; for if the commission should be refused, and proceedings were com menced in a Court of Law, the affidavit of Mr. Alder, it lie should swear " It is too true," and Counsel had a right to look to every possibility, then his affidavit would be evidence against them in a Court of Law. It was sworn that no corn mun icalion was therefore made to bins. But Mr. Alder ap plied to know if it was improper for him to make an affida vit., He was told it' was not. " Then," said he ; " prepare one for I swear on my conscience, I never u sed any impro per familiarity with Lady Portsmouth : I never thought of it." Another sort of affidaVit would be also filed. The Solicitor said they were too gross, but he (Mr. Heald) said that was a mawkish feeling in such a momentous question. They were the affidavits of loose and abandoned characters. • The Loan CHANCELLOR.—If such affidavits are to be filed, it is extremely necessary that they should be filed before the pleadings are closed. 'I will postpone all further pro ceeding on the subject until Thursday morning. Before that -day let all the affidavits be filed. I must' call for the assist ance of the' Bar on both sides in considering the affidavits that may be filed. , • Thus the subject was abruptly suspended soon after two • o'clock.
