On Saturday morning, at half-past ten o'clock, the
Lords of his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council
assembled at the Council Office Whitehall-place. There
were present, the Lord President of the Council, Lord
11Aley, Lord Stowell, Lurd Colchester, and the Master
of the Rolls. The principal appeal which came before
their Lenelships for their decision was an appeal of the
Duke of Luxembourg against the decision of the C.nnmis-
stoners appointed to hear and determine French Appeals,
and although the name of the Duke of Luxembourg ap-
pears as the principal appellant before their Lordships, yet
in reality it is merely nominal, as Mr. Boyd, the cell,_
heated British merchant and contractor, is the principal
interested, and who was on Saturday present at the a peal
before their Lordships, and to whom their Lordships more
especially the Master of the Rolls) occasionally re erred
for information, contrary to the usual practice. The
King's Advocate and Mr. Tyndall were heard for the
Commissioners, and Mr. Fonhlanque and Mr. Carr for
the appellants. From the general arguments urged, it
appeared that the Duke of Luxembourg was driven
from the French territory during the French Revo-
lution, and a question arose as to the time of his emigra-
tion, and as to whether he returned to France afterwards
under the different revolutionary governments and decrees.
A principal ground of appeal to their Lordships was as to
the rate of interest, whether it ought not to be five, or only
three per cent., as allowed by the Commissioners. Al-
thoue,h this was a further appeal to their Lordships, it oc-
cupied nearly the whole of the day.
Yesterday being the first Sunday in Trinity Term, the
Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Judges, Recorder, Sheriffs, &c.
attended divine nervier at St. Paul's. The sermon was
?reached by the Rev. Mr. Dillon, the Lord Mayor's Chap-
lain, who, in the course of it, made some observations ap-
Pliceble to the circumstances of the present times, that
seemed to make a strong impression on the numerous and
dignified congregation.
MeccI.E9FIELD, May 28.—Nothing is talked of here
but Miss Turner, and much discussion and argument have
taken place as to the authenticity of the letter purporting
to come from Mr. %Vakeßeld. It will be remarked, that
though on his examination he said "he had not put any
statement in the Jain 1141," be did not deny that it might
love been inserted by his agents; and persons who were
Present say that he gave the answer in a very evasive maw-
n-t, and seemed anxious to drop the subject. This and
other eh cumatauces have tended to strengthen the opinion
that the document is a genuine one.
lVe feel it due to Mr. Wakefield to soy, that we do not
know that he forwarded the statement to us, which we last
we.k published—it Was printed and circulated very gene-
rally throngt the west end of the town, at least five days
before we notieml it, and it hears Mr. Wakefield's sire-
tern. We should think nobody but himself could have de-
tided the prJeeediites so minutely, and certainly nobody
but himself, or sons;Liiily acting under his special authority,
would have taken the trouble, or gone to the expense, of
writing, circulating, and causing to be printed, such a
ratement ; at all events, we had no share in the composi-
tion, although we took the liberty of curtailing part of it,
which had for its object the personal ridicule of Mr. Tur-
ner.—Jelin Ball.
