LON DON,
THURSDAY. DECEMBER 23, 1819•

The Paris Papers of the 18th arrived last morn-
ing. and thove of the 19th last night. They coo-
tato the Address of the Chamber of Chimney to Ins
MAJIIIIITY. As a view of the civil and political stale
of Fraiire, it is an article that will be read with
interest.

A report. it *rem', is prevalent in Paris, titat the
Count DEcAzta has been appointed Arnbasitadur
to our Court.

Accounts fron► Naples state, that Vesuvius is
now in full eruption. The direction of the lava is
fortunately such es to allay all apprehension* fur the
ueighbonling country.
The Five per Cent. Consols were on Saturday
69 f. 95 c.—Bunk Actions 1,470 f.

The financial state of the country was made the
subject of sonic conversation lest night in the
House of Commons, and some very important
points may be gleaned from the CHANCELLOR of
the Excisions a, although he expressed hintiolf
with much ut his usual reserve. Uniting what fell
from the Right lion. Gentleman lii answer to some
questions from Mr. GRENVELL, and on a moti.ls
made by Mr. MAOERLY for the production of
various accounts, we may collect front him that
the customs have been progressively improving
since the commencement of the current quarter—.
that the consumption of all exciseable articles,
especially of tea. tobacco, wine, and spirit., dur-
ing the current year, bed exceeded the average
consumption %if the three years preceding—and
that notwithstairding the drliciencirs hitherto felt
in the receipt of the revenue during the pre-
sent year, as compared with that of the last,
hopes were entertained by the Lords of the
Treasury that a sum might be appropriated to
the liquidation of very newly so much of the
national debt as hail been calculated 'during
the last Session of Parliament. This statement
on the part of the CHANCELLOR of the F.:x-
i:limos& will, we think, he received by the coon-
try with no less astonishment than satisfaction, and,
to say the truth, if the expectation thus raised be
fulfilled in its fair and equitable sense, and if it
shall appear that a surplus of revenue over expendi-
ture to the amount of neatly FIVE MILLIONS has
been really and bona fide appropriated this year as
• sinking fund, we shall look upon the CHANCEL.
Loa of this EXCHEQUER as • far abler financier
than we tier before thought him. Such an
event will derive en additional singularity from
the circumstance that the taxes imposed last
year have been far less productive then the most
gloomy apprehensions of their warmest opponent
could have contemplated. By the statement
of the Cat•seccLtua of the EXCHEQUER last
night, it appears that from the new tamers the
only sums hitherto received have been 1.0001,
on wool. and 136.0001. on excissable comas..
ditto. We were happy tu hear the CHANCEL.
Loa of the Bit:Ozone& expressing his belief that
the capital transferred from this to foreign coup-
tries during the present year must bare been very
inconsiderable. but at the sense time it cannot be
forgotten that on this point the Right Hon. Gen.
liftman's &die/ hes been opposed by the prove..
cal knowledge of Mr. Banton, who, from his '
Peculiar occupation. passemeni the most certain

Rumours. founded no doubt upon the apparent
unsocial difficulties of the G uuuuu mrot, have been
for some time io circulation, alleging an intention
on the part of the Ministers to propose to Parlia-
ment a renewal of the Income Tax, but the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER has effectually
siirepated them by the a••orauce lie Iris given to
the House of Continotis. that no deviation is con.
temp, lied from the plata of finatice prltosell
during last Session of Parliament. Five mil-
lions, it will be remembered, were appropri-
ated Parliament, as a part payment of the
advances made by the Bonk of Etigland to 11w
Government; but how snitch of this ■um has been
applied to this object the Ministers last night re-
fused to explain. A boon of five millions will. be
required during this Styrian fur the same purpose;
but we ►hall be very agreeably surprised if the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER will so far ad-
here to his plan of the last Session us out to require
a loan to a much greater amount.

Several Petitions were last night presented to the
House of Comitimis from indivialleals, complaining
of grievous personal injuries sustained at the unfor-
tunate meeting at Manicheater on the 16th of Au-
gust, when in the act of endeavouring to escape
from the active zeal of the trosq.s. The truth of
the statements contained iu ahe.e Petitions has not
been denied, and the Petitions hating been received
by the House, acquire thereby a certain degree of
authenticity and importance. Can it be possible
that these Petitions will be suffered to remain
upon the Journals of Parliament, detailing circum-
stances of gross atrocity, anti urging the severest
charges against individuals of considerable personal
respectability, without giving the Petitioners an
opportunity of proving their allegations, the accus-
ed a chance of repelling the charges, or the country
the means of wiping off the stain which these Peti-
tions are calculated to throw upon its character ?

A WARD 0? COORT.
Mr. SILLOWnLL Mated, that he anrieridood new affidavits
had Leer filed by Mrs. Deere, the mother of She ward. He
had nut seen them, sad it might be occessary for his clients,
Mr and Mrs Staples, to answer them by other affidavits.
IltAad thetefore to ask his Lordship to allow the further
rolistderation of the motion to stand over.
Mr. %Trio cilvt.t. said be hail on olisetios- to let it stead
over until to-morrow, but he could sot rtorsent us any fur-
ther ,leles. front a nitinher of inquiries that were mole
last might his suspicions had been strengthened as to the
conduct of 11r and Mrs Staples, relative to the elopement
ef the ward with their daughter, and their subsequent ma►-
rote at Gretna Green. It was only necessary to mention
two new facts, which had tome to Ilse knowledge of his
client liner yesterday. anti when he had done an he had no
doubt but his loartishiy would agree to the constitution be
bail tome to. In the affidasit of Mr. and Mrs. Staples it
was wawa that their two sons were in bed on the night of
the 14th, when the elopement took Ow, and were ignoraut
of it. Now he lewl nnoluithted proof that one of them wits at
the Six Clerks Office on the morning of that day, incesiring
whether his Lordship had made say order of injunction to
resit...to Mr. and M+•. Staples from permitting the visits of
the ward to the 'flung lady. His loodship would semi.
l,ct that it had been stated, that Ballard, the mass silvans
who accompatorti the p•nng couple on their matrimonial
trip, was the servant of she ward. when, In fact, it turns oat
that he is the tit of Mr. Staples.
The Leant Ctiatscamoia obterved, 11th was • most 40'
pus tans case as it Concerned tb. Coast, and also as it coos
cooed the character of Mr. and Mrs. Staples. He bad
nothing to do with any of the transactions which to k place
before the hill was filed, snaking the minor ■ ward of that
Court, except ■s they bore on what had subseqoeutly taken
place. The Court would, however, most ansionoly inquire
into what the parties bat' Biome dose, for while they seta's's!
to be passive, it was his duly to see that they bail not in
reality hero most active in encouraging the elopement. He
wished to give Mr. and 1111. Staples every indulgence, for
which re 11114311 he would postpone the besting of the cone
mod the next Seal, etilb leave to present a short petition,
and that all affidavits which had or might be sled, to be
sued on that occasion. lie also stirrer,' that Mr. and Mrs.
Staples, the ward and his wife, Ballard, the in4U.ger,"ti
and the conk-maid, should be in Court is attendance, whets

Further consideration postponed until the next Seal.
THE MARLBOROUGH GOLD PLATE, IN THE
HOUSE OF BLENHEIM.

THE EARL Of sHArrtsRVRT AND ANuTHSR FADS GRACE
THE DURK OF MARLRORGIVOR MID THOMAS TPJPIIOOK.

Mr. SHADWILL stated, that the mower of ilve Defendant
Thomas Triphouk had bees put in since the last order of tbo
Court, directiag that the diamond sword, &c. z.bould be
lodged with the bankers, had bees. made. The object of his
motion was, that his Grace should pay into Court the sum
of 1,3001. being the amount be received from the Defewdmit,
Tripbook, for the gold plate; and that the Defendant, Trip.
book, should pay into Court the sum of 872/. Os. ed. belay
the residue of the money he received for the gold plate ; and
that the Court would appoint a receiver, to take into his
custody the remainder of the plate in the house of Rlen•
beim, in which his Grace had only a life interest, and also
the library, and that his Grace might be directed to hand
them over to the receiver, accordisig to the schedule, for his
'fife keeping in the house of Blenheim. Ile moved ibis on
the admission in the answer of the Defeuelaset Triplimik, that
the gold plate in question had been sold and melted down.
Mr. Itag, Conniel for the Noble Defendant, reworded
that his Learned Friend would postpone his motion until the
unit seal ; at all events he was mot to he allowed to make it
on the answer of the Defendant, Triphook, for nothing
contained in it could affect his Grave, for the purposes
of this motion. The character of his Grace ought Not to be
held' up to public manure by soy thin set forth in the
Defendant's (Tripbook) answer. If his Learned Friend'■ only
object was to have the I♦9ool paid iota, Court, his Noble
Client was willing to consent to it, and to pay it in forth-
with.

Mr. SNADWFLL said, it was far from his wish to throw
any additional obloquy on the Noble Defendant; be world
thereinto, as the money was commented to he paid isle
Court before the hest day of Teem, only move on the answer
of bit Grace, that the latter part ol• his mottoes for a receiver
should be granted, and make another motion, relative to the
Defendant Tripbouk. The answer of his Grace admitted,
that bring pressed fur money he applied to Trirehook to raise
him money on the 0,1.1 !dale, but not In dopey,e of it. sod
when he intrusted it to him, he gave dire clients that new arms
might be engraved on them while i■ the custody of she
silversuilels they might be lodged with: this was in the
month of April. That when ►e was called ou by the trus-
tees to produce the plate, he ►ad a cousewesnication with
Triphouk i. Judy, who told bins the plate was secure. and
that he would retain it to Bleoheine, but wheel Triphonk
was pressed ou this subject afterwards, be ackseuw 'edged
that that representation was nut the truth, me it ►ad
been sold, sod the reason he pee for making the former
representation was, the insirmetious of Lord C. Churchill.
The answer of his GI see then went on to state that he never
would•bave parted with the plate, if it had mot beer for his
pecuniary distresses, and he bad no other means of raising
the money. This last admission in the answer of ►in Grace
was sufficient fur hie the Learned Counsel's motion, as his
Grace had arknow/edged that he had committed an act which
he would not have door Vibe had not beer drivew to it by his
pecuniary distresses; those distresses had not abated. and
where was Ilse security that the remaining property is Blew
beim house might out be subject to it, therefore it was tee-
cessary t►at the Cued should appoint a receiver its pro-
tect it.
Mr. Asogoortoo followed me the same side.

Mr. Roo said, that his Nubia client, although forced inl•
so improvident act by his pecuniary distresses, had does
every thing la his power to have the plate restored. It
world be severe indeed, that, for such an error, be should
be liable to have a receiver appointed of she Nature
