GENERAL D'EVEltguA. .
A Camceas Paper of the 22d November. con-
tains an account of the honourable acquittal of
General D'Esltasux, who bad been tried before
the Supreme Court of the Republic for having
written a letter to the late Vice-President, ANTO-
NIO NAILING, which letter was lopooSed to contain
a challenge. The facts were briefly these :—Mrs.
ENGLISH having various claims of, the Government,
in right of her deceased husband. Brigadier-Gen.
ENGLISH.. who died is the service, applied to the
Vice-President NAILING, who not only refused to
acknowledge her claims, but used personally to
Mrs. ENGLISH very gross language. General
D'Eflutaux, with that spirit which always donee-
ilelslied his, espoused tile cause of this naortnisitte
lady, sod remonstrated with Natitio. In the
course of the euotroversy, the challenge com-
plained of was given, and 6eoeral D'Evattaux
was put under arrest by NABISCO. • This detained
General D'Evcadox for some weeks from the
army ; however, on au inquiry into all the facts, the
Congress approved highly of she course pursued by
the General, admitted the justice of the claims made
by Mrs. ENGLISH, and dismissed N 651110 from
his office of Vice-President. He, notwithstanding,
persevered in his prosecution of General D'Eva-
WIWI before the Supreme Court, and the result
has been his honourable acquittal.—(.New York,
December so.)

SUieREY SESSIONS.

IMPORTANT DECISION TO PARISHES.
The Court was oeeopied during the forenoon yesterday In
►raring parish appeals. The case of Ilford a Langford was
argued at considerable length by Mr. Torten for the Re-
spondesta, mid Mr. Heath for the Appellants. It was a ease
of considerable interest to parishes, oa which till Judges of
the Collet at Ring's amok were divided is opinion, aid
referred back to the Smokes fir • rehearing. The emotion
was, whOther a servant, who had been hired by the month,
beernie eatltled to a settlement as • pauper is the parish
where be or she should *u serve for upwards of a twelve-
month.
The peeper, Mary Webb, stated, that she hid been hired
by a Mrs. Tyrrell, • farmer's wife at Ilford, ma the 10th of
Jauusey, 1820, fur • mswt►, for which she was lb receive Bs.
wages. The mistress, however, as it appeared in the course
of the ease, was fearful that she should lose the strikes of
the girl dories the Summer, when better wages could be ob-
tained by bsreeselug, and therefore immediately after made
• mew agreement, by which Ilse girl was to matinee with
bet d•. tag the summer on the terms of a month's' Wainlnt or
a month's wages.. The girl continued in this service 1,1111 the
let of March in this following year, whet it beelimmed that
she bad • child sad was turned many, end as her Mouth did
sot expire until the 10th, her millirem gave her a ditenth's
wages. She had before received her wages at Christmas
and Ladyllide.
Heald argued at considerable befit► that this was
Mein from month to month, which did out entitle the
peeper to say settlement at Ilford.
Mr. TIIIITOWg with much fine sad Menially, addressed
the Coati In behalf of the respondent parish, contending
that this was • hiring for • g I indefinite period, and
should be legally considered a general birlog that entitled
the pauper to a settlement.
The Cosfitir, after a lout ecissoltatios, decided, by Is ma-
joeity of os• o ly, that a ►iring 011 the terms of • osiisilh's
owning or • mouth's wages, was a good service, said tuthlrd
the pauper to her settlement in the pa. sib of Ilford.
