LONDON, MON D IY. JUNE 21.
Three tickk. p. m.

The French journals of the 17th contain an assu-
rance from Stockholm, that the negotiations which
Lire been carrying on in London, for the adjust-
.nient of the long agitated differences between the
;Swedish and Danish Courts, are brought to a sue-
_tessful termination. The instrument drawn up by
,severtl _Plenipotentiaries, had been laid before the
,Khg of S .veden, rho, it was presumed, would im-
mediately reify it. Denmark by this agreement is
to receive a smaller sum, but a more %%r id security.

On Saturday, at three o'clock, the Prince
Regent held a Court at Carlton House, awl after:.
.wards a Privy Council : nt the latter, Sir Wm.

der of London made a report to the Prince Regent

same time I will not swear there are no others. Which io you
call the principal among you ?—Why, in the commencement of
every concern there u,uet be a principal, and I was the principal
this. When did you cease to be so ?—I consider myself so
still ; but not in this &aim though ! You must bear that in
mind. (longliter.) Pray, Mr. Dodd, be kind enough to inform
Its who, and what, is Mrs. Thendolike White ! (I fere the Chief'
Justice asked whether there had not been several motions made
in last term to ascertain who this lady was; and lie was intiwnical
by the counsel that there had, but hitherto without success.) Mr.
Sergeant Vaughan repeated his question : Who is she. Mr.
Dodd ?—Why she is a widow. And when and where did she
authorize you to putt down 20 shares iis this company in her
name ?—ln my own house. Did she give you any authority in
writing ?—No ; 1 asked her to subectibe, avid sheauid I ought
put her down fur go shares, and at the same she paid a deposit
of 5 per cent. Will yea swear that ?—No ; I will not actually
swear it. What will you do then ?—Why, you see there had

wavy paid every man all itise life. It seems, however, that you
Ind not paid Mr. Rielitintsim ?—No ; but then 1 gal given hint
credit for the sharer' in this company ; and that's the same thing,
you know. Do you net know, sir, that Mr. Richard: on returned
poor 'thane, and refused to receive them as value tor your debt
No, I do nut; I sent them by Illy won to his attorney ; and I
understood lie received them. Now, Mr. Piecini, what is he ?
Ile is a sitaiehohler. and is, besides, a pro ti alpine sort of et:av-
iary, or ciuk to the company ; and he radio,. his instructions
from me. Can you nil us of one pa:on who has actually taker
any part in the undertaking, excepting yourself 's.a.e./11.)es !
there are many getelegnen at Deptford sclar hare Luken greet

competent to do initch in it at prevent. The plaintiff, „Mr. Dicks,
ha, often conic down and looked at the works, the same ..s any
other gent lenien might. Looked at the works! and this you rail
pot•r superb gas-light company, do you, Mr. Dodd? Upon fey
weird it begins to burn very blue eeiiightees. Were riot these
iron pipes placed un that ground at Deptford by your order !
No, they were not. by whose order, then, were they placed
there ?—I really don't know.—Do you not know that they were
claimed end Won away us your property by tke o...f.t.ttatits
Drisco and Bird. for money that you owed to Mr. Feseroneya ?
—All I know is, that the man there (Mr reserinnyer), to whom
the Company did nut owe a furthiug., set ved my son with aChan-
cery.writ, anal took away the property ! Do you not know that
Pitioni, your beeretary pro tgrt.to,e, told the defendants that the
pipes were your property, and they must not take them away
Olt dear, no! Ile would base been very foolish to tell than any
such Millie. Now, Mr. *Dodd, did not you tell the clerkship of
this supposed onset:my to this Mr. Phaini for 2501.?—N0; I
told lam if he se culd take a certain number of shares. my in-
terest should be used as procure me clerkship for hien. And did
he take any shares as you cull them ? Yes, he did; and paid the
money for them too. The receipts for 00% are in Court. In-
deed ! and prey where did you meet with Mr. Piccini
in all new untleteakings there intut beallu ements held nut M the
public; and so a secretary we. advertised for i t the newspapers.
Aye, arid so you allured Mr. l'seciri by your advertisement ; and
then you use Min as another allurement, ors art of decoy-duck,
as well as " free. pro 414" (The witness was very angry at the
term ss decoy-duce," and appeal:al to his counsel fur protection,
but in vain.) This tranaaction of taking away your pipes threw
a damp tteue the concerti ; did not it Mr. Doti. ?—Yea, eertain•
Iy. Aye; tied it will go near, I promme, to put the pa out ens.
tirely.

Cims-exemined br the defendant Fesemneyer--When 1 call-
ed at your lico3e, Mr. Dodd, did not you give me two shares of
'251. each, in this alleged ar.npany, in consideri,tion of a sum of
money which yon owed nee'—Here the wiusess begged to ex-
plain to the Court that be had owed Mr. Fesentneyer te tittle mo-
ney ; and that Q: the occasion to which he alluded, became into
his hou.y in a furious moaner, and asserted, that if he did not
instantly pay him, he would take hint before the Magistrates at
Bow-street, and charge him with having :ribbed him ; and .that,
intimidated by this threat, he bad looluddy given him the two
skates of olden lie spo!ce.
The Chief Justice.—And when he hit your house. did nor you
immediately go to the Ntagistiutes, and tuniplam that a person
had ,tame Kilo your house Itke a ruffian, a;ul bud extorted money
frau you?—No, my Lend.
Cross examination continued by Mr. Fientneyer.—Did you
not me eet the same time, that you bad employed Mr. Short,
a 'stockbroker, in Ilireadnectlle-street, to sell to shares for Mrs.
'l'lletolosiri White, and that in about 7 days you should beable to
pay me the ransineler of what )ou owed me. out of the proceeds
ot those shan.s?—The witness did nut return any direct answer,
though the epiesthso was repeatedly. putt he replied merely b 1
atteruptilig w dese.ibe the 111111311:r in wlhch his debt to Mr. Fe-
scanueyer had arisen, but the Court would not listen to it; and at
length the Chief Justice told Mr. resenutekti, tau he thought
he inijiit spare IliMsCli.fucher trouble.
'I ha witness was then cross-examined by ter. Sergeant Onslow;
