other parts of Kent, carne hete this morning, to see
the troops that are to farm the second pot of the

It is not imagined here, that there will be any
British troops detached horn this country. at the
present period. on foreign service. Rummy s and
conjettures are, however. as frequent on Ranssrue
Pier as they are on the Stock Exchange.
Ramsgate harbour is still crowded with transports
ready to receive the troops, whenever they arrive
for that purpose.

Amidst all tEe noble and useful Insthotions eons-

this principle, and with liberality, they will become

This extraordinary case came before the Court
upon the construaion of the Last will and testament
of Maria kfordett, of the city of Utrecht, in the
United Provinces. This will devised tale pro.
petty is Holland, and likewise a sum of ow*
guilders' to be vested in the Funds, in England, for
the use of the nephews and nieces of the Testatrix,
for their natural lives, and from and after their de-
cease, the usufruft to go to their children in equal
moities; some of the Legatees died before the res-
tatrix, and, at the date of the will, some oif the
children, who were to take in remainder, were 114
years old, and residing In this onntry, but, by the
laws of Holland, they were minors until within ten
days of the age of 2.3. One of the nieces, named
Ann De Brysaac, covenanted with the Deputies of
the Court of Orphan Chamber, in Holland, to let
her moiety go to the children before mentionei, in
reversion, provided she should have tbejnter,st se-
