NOTE OF HIS EXCELLENCY N. TALLEYRAND,
MINI-
SIEE OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS, TO M. D'OEBILIL,
CHARGE-D'AFFAIXESpOIIg RUSSIA, DATED
tt-
9TH THERMIDON, ytik 18.

The Undvsigned Minister for Foreign Affairs bat submitted
to His Majesty the Finperor, the Note of M. VOidoil,
CA • rge d'Alairrs from Rusra, of the 2d Thermidor. The Un-
dersigned has received orders to dedlare, tht when •ver the
Court of Russ.a shall fulfil the articles of its Treaty with France,
the latter will be ready to esecute them with the same ftd..-.:it),
as Ru.i.ua most naturally think that the Treaty is dually bind-
ing upon the two Contraling Powers. lithe Cabinet of St.
Petersburgh is of opinion, that it has some demands to make
in con.evience of the Articles IV. V. arid VI. of the Secret
Convention .if tire 18th VooJentiere, Year 1(1, France also
thu execution of the 3d Article of that Treaty, which is
cx.oe-sed in the tolloating.ferms
" The two Coutrac ing Parties, desirous, to tho utmost of
their pow., to contribute to the tranquillity of the two ic,pective
Governments, eligiee not to gutter their respective subjects to
maintain any correspondence, direct or indirect, with the ene-
mi. s of the two States, or to propagate principles contrary to
their respective Constitutions. by fomenting any disturbance
whatsoever; and that in coosequenre of this agreement, every
wib,r•ct of one of these Powers cohabiting the States of the
iitiwr, who shall do arty thing colorrary to its safety, shall be
removed from the said cutintr and b: transported beyond its
foiritiars, without having any claim to the protectruu of his owo
(I..iverainent."

This Article, framed with as much precision in' wisdom, de-
clares the very friendly dispontions wash bou.id the two
l'otyers at the time of fanning this Treaty. France, therefore,
did n. d expect that RuPlaa would ~,at its protection to Fr itch
iniralito, by accrediting them to the neighbouring Pourers of
Fraser, where they miglu iiidclge their hostile dispositions
against their country : slur did she expect such a conduct from
M. Marcoff, the #fioi,terol giasia, who was the real ot
the dint riots and eiooliirs existing between the two P6wers.
Donny his residence in Piro, hit con-tacitly encouraged every
kind of intrigue that could desturb the public tranquillity ; and

Our Private Correspondent at Hamburgh writes
under the '27th uk.—if Our city is now crowd-
ed with emigrants from the Meeklir.bur)th and
Danish territory, all persons of respeEtahility and
property, who seek wnlion our walls a refuge from
the French mar:toiling paries that infest our
neighbourhood. We see them, not only elut-
ing the same dangers with us, but, beside,. de%
pnved of their homes, whilst, thanks to the pro.
teaion of Russia and Prussia, we still possess 'ours
unmolested. We are, however, always upon.. our.
guard ; the gates of our city are shut every ORM
before dark, and not opened in the morning before
day light, and the soldiers and burghers on duty
are d subled every night on ottr ramparts. The.
Members of the Diplomatic Corps, not etcepting
the French Minister, have itrlt Couriers to their re-
speaive Courts, informing their Sovereigns of the
late violation of the Danish territory. Upon the
demand of the Danish AmeassaJor here to the
French Minister, as to the cause of this outrage
against the neutrality ef his King, the latter answer•
ed, " [ha lie Aspatore, that it oriviodred from tatstaie, sr
from Utterance of the Prent 4 Conzatantkug tyeer."
liLa-
NADOTTt is said to have disowned this ad of vin.
lence in aletter to Rut:Nate, no doubt because it
miscarried."
On Saturday last died, unit erally lamented, at
his seat at Berrington, in ihe county of I leseford,
after a long and painful illness, and in the 75th
year of his age, the Right Honourable TMONIAS
HAALLY, fourth son of the third F.arl of Oxford ;
a Member of His Majesty's Most Honourable Privy
(leaned ; Lord Lieutenant of the county of Radnor;
senior Alderman (or Father) of the city of London;

This was an anion brought by Messrs. Nortis,
Attlee, and stagers, against John Grenfeli and •
Edward Smith, for the recovery of 13301. due npoa
two bills of Exchange. The Plaintiff's having
eroved the hand-writing to the bills, thecae was i
only made interesting by the Defendant GrenfelPs
conditaing his own defence, upon the grounds that '
there had not been any consideration givem fur the
bills. it
Ile called several witnesses to invalidate the con-
sideration, ..
and, amongst others, Mr. Scott, one 0f.,;
his counsel. His examination of the witnesses was 1
very incoherent, and only tended to establish the,,
Plaintiff's case. No faa whatever WAS proved

making out any thing like a defence.
Lord E.LLEN BOROUGH was much diS7,IOS-ed to
permit him every indulgence, and :chewed an no- 4
common der ee of patience during the seh sle ,: the
cause ; but was at last under the necessity of cam-,
pelling him to stop. .. •

This was an alum brought by the assignees of
Mr. I)ebtett, late of Piccadilly, bookseller, to re- •
cover back the goods taken in execution by the Dv-
fentiart.
It appeared that the debt, on which the execution
WAS sued out, accrued upon a bond of Mr, Dc-•
brett's, to Mr. William S:ewart, of :Piccadilly, far _
4341. upoit which the execution was risated in. the ~
month of 11ay,1204. and the goods taken by the Shoe,
riff. It was also proved, on the part of the-Phi:etas. Il
that Mr. Debrett had c mmitted various :01°f bank.',
ruptcy previous to that time, and the commitesionimps.
obtained against him on the 18th blay, ItiOli. - i
On the part of the o,feadaw, it was contended, . j
that this was an aft of Bankruptcy, .coecerted and
framed by the petitioning creditor, in colheion with
the Bankrupt, and that therefore it cieed have no
