PIONBER.

NORI, AVGIUST 14.
" His Majesty passed about live leagues to the
southward of Harwich on Sundry, at eleven a.m.,
when he was fallen in with by the Pioneer schooner,
cruising for the prevention of smuggling, who
immediately fired • royal salute, ■nd manned her
yards ; and her Commander, Lieutenant Favell,
proceeded directly afterwards, in his gig, to go
ou board the yacht, which he no sooner got hold of
than, from the rapid rate she was going, his boat
was towed under water, and nearly filled, and heart.
breaking as it was to the officer and crew (for sailors
are even fertile at invention) instead of being
able to use their hats to give their beloved Sove-
reign three cheers, they were forced to apply them
to bail the boat out to keep her from sinking, during
which time his Majesty, io the most condescending
manner, looked over the stern of the yacht, and told
the Commander of the Pioneer he was much
obliged for the attention he had paid him, and
would not trouble him to come on board, the yacht at
that time going, towed by the steam-boat, upwards
of ten knots an hour, with only the Royal Sovereign
and a steam-boat towing her, in company with his
Majesty, for the Pioneer four hours afterwards fell
iu with the rest of the royal squadron."

Saturday sennight a splendid gold chain, pur-
chased by a subscription among the inhabitants of
Dumfries, to be worn by the Chief Magistrate of
that burgh for the time being, was presented to
JOHN KUM. Esq. the Provost, in the Council
Chamber, where the contributor., amongst whom
was the Marquis of QUEENSBERRY, had assembled
fur that purpose.
A letter from Paris, dated August 10, says—
', A pamphlet, entitled Bonaparte et Maras, No-
vi:rears d'une Jenne femme,' was a few year. ago
the subject of an action more or less scand.lous,
between the Lady and her first husband, M. RE-
VEL, formerly a captain of cavalry. The affair
seemed forgotten io the Courts, but a crowd was
collected again yesterday in the Chamber of First
Instance, by • new episode. The object of the
cause is to fix the condition of the minor LEON,
DOH aged seventeen, who has performed • great
part iu the memoirs and pleadings of M. Rs-
vEL. About 1819, M. REVEL instituted a suit
to bastardize this youth, who appeared to be taken
ender the particular protection of the BONAPARTB
family, arid whose fortune had been doubled by the
good management of Iris guardians, Count (1111
VIRRES and Baron MEDIEVAL. He affirms that this
youth is the son of his wile, that he was admitted
to the civil state in 1806, under the name of her
family, and that he disavows him as the offspring of
adultery, because his birth coincides with the period
of the commencement of the process of divorce,
and when he, BEVEL. was confined iii the prison of
Dourdan. M. DUPIN, Counsel for Baron MENE•
••t., represents the action as the result of skilful
tactics on the part of M. Rival, who, by circuitous
means, endeavours to claim a youth who belongs
neither to him nor his wife. The cause is adjourned
for a week."

BANKRUPT.

Mr. MONTAQV stated he *us instructed to apply
to his Lordship fur a re-hearing of this petition,
which •as made necessary by the deaths of several
of the parties.

Mr. ilium mid he would not objeet to the re-
hearing, if the emits of the former hearing were first
paid.

Mr. MONTAGUE said the question of costs would
be decided when •he merits of the case was.

Mr. HART said the application for the re-hrating
was merely made on account of some doubts ez-
pressed by his Lordship in giving his judgment ;
■nd he would take that opportunity of stating, that
it often occurred, when on expression of doubt fell
from his Lordship in giving his reasons for his judg-
ment, although Counsel were convinced that the
judgment was correct, their clients, on account of
the doubt so expressed by his Lordship, pressed
them to ask for a re-hearing.
The LORD Cu•NCtLLOR—" There are two
reasons which will account for it: the first is, that
I am so constitutionally formed, that I believe I
doubt more than any other man in the kingdom;
and the second, entertaining those doubts, I do not
choose, by stating my opinion with coofidence, to
deprive suitors from any advantage they may derive
from my doubts."
Re-hearing granted, ■nd the question of costs
reserved.
