CORTES.-SITTTING OF OCIODER 16.

Accounts were communicated, brought by the
Fnmeh galley Etta, in 35 days from Pernambuco,
and by the Portuguese brig Gloria, in 10 days from
Fayal. Among the passengers on board the awl
was the Brigadier Jose Correa de Mello, Military
Governor of the pnwince of Pernambuco, who stated
that on the 3d of August there had been a general
rising of the troops of Pernambuco, in which they
proclaimed urestricted obedience to his Highness, as
Prince. &gent, and perpetual defender of Brazil,
and to the general constitutional and legis ative as-
sembly of that kingdom : that 41 Europeans sus-
pected of adhering to Portugal were immediately
arrested and put into the prisons of the fortress, in
order, it was said, to save them from the popular
fury. The Governor, thereilire, thought proper to
give up his command, which he resigned to the
officer of highest rank in theprovince, Colonel Jose
Carnello Pescara, who was afterwards suspended by
the Provisional Junta. On the 29th of the same
month, when he was already embarked, the expedi-
tion arrived, which were deipatched from Rio de
Janeiro, against Bahia, composed of the frigate
Llaicorm, and the corvette Maria da Gloria Caroliaa,
and Literal, commanded by the Chief of Division
Lamare. This officer, having learnt at sea the expe-
dition of tha Calypso corvette, feared to enter Bahia
in a hostile manner; and pi °ceding immediately to
Alagoas, there landed with ammunition, the coin.

and the next in command ; and this was all he
knew on the subject, having sailed on the 30th.—

The Captain of the Gloria said that there had hen
a tumult at the beginning oflast month in the island
of Terceira, about 2,000 persons having assembled
to oppose the exportation of corn from the island,
but the tumult was soon appeased by the Governor
and the Corregidor.

1111: I.:0G V. CIARKE.

This was an indictment a.,,airist the defendant for the pnbli-
cation or a blasphemous libel, in a wink called Queen
Mah." The blasphemous twitter denied the existence of a
God.

Mr. Carney stated the case as one of the worst class. It
was a proseitution preferred by the Society for the Suppres-
sion of 1 ice. The teamed counsel detailed the iitiensis e mat-
ter. and called upon the Jury to vindicate the Christian Reli-
gion by finding the work a libel.
Charles Junco deposed, that he purchased the book at the
shop of the defendant, on the 4th of May, 1821. lle paid
12s. fur one copy.
The libellous passages were then read.
James Ripeld. a person employed by the Society for the
Sappression of %ice, also deposed, that he purchased a copy
of the defendant on the loth of May.
The defendant, who had no counsel, addressed the Jury at
considerable length. He stated, that he wrote to the Society,
°tiering to give up the cepies or the work in his hands, stop
the publication, provided they did not prosecute. tuts object
in publis'aing the work was merely to get custom in business.
lie waited on Mr. Pritchard, Secretary of the Society, with
the aforesaid proposal, but was told they cou:d do nothing in it.
The defendant called Mr. Pritchard, who proved his state-
ment; but on the crass-examination of that gentleman, it ap-
peared the defendant had published the work after he wade the
proposal.
The Lord Chief Justice summed up the evidence, and hay-
ing commented on the libel, left the Jury to decide whether
the defendant had published the libel or not.
The Jury found the defendant guilty.

THE KIM; v. THE EARL OF CADOGAN.

This was an indictment against the noble defendant, for not
repairing a wall and bank, laying betnevn the River Thames
and u public highway in the parish of Chelsea. The particular
place appeared to be a row of houses N't est of the Bishop of
W'inchester's Palace. It was alleged, iu support of the prose-
cution, that the noble defendant, who is LOrd of the Manor, nes
Heide to repair the wall and batik from the East to the West
end of Cheyney Walk. Lord Cad,, su could not he liable,
without toe Jury belie% ed the Lord of the Uauor had re,taired
time itementorial. . .

Mr. Gurney, who appeared for the prosecution, stated, that
the trustees of Kensington turnpike were anxious to try
whetlita. the Earl of Cadogan wits liable to make these repairs.
The spot in question was near Battersea-bridge. The wall ran
along the batik, and a row of ancient trees stood between the
wail nod the high road. The routs of those trees had damaged
the wall, and the node defendant having refused to make the
repairs, the trustees commenced this action. lle should prove
that the wall had always been repaired by the Lord of the
Manor, sod the question would be whether the noble Lord or
the parish were to make the repairs.
S. ireful witnesses proved the situation of the wall, and the
repairs made by Lord Catlogata.
Mr. Svarktt called witnesses, alto stated instances of repairs
dune to the wall by the inhabitants living opposite.
The Lord Cltief Justice left the Jury to consider, whether
there was evidence to lead to that conclusion, the defendant
would be liable to the prosecution.

MowthaY, DEC. 23.—The greatest parr of their coasumption
of meat having been laid in by the dealers on Friday last, the
market this day was but scantily supplied with cattle, and third,'
attended by purchabers, which has occasioned a decline in the
price of all kinds of meat. Beef may be quoted rather brisk in
sale. at a reduction of ad. per stone, the supply of Beasts being
small, and that of Sheep was much under an average number--
Mutton was heavy in sale, at a tall of about 6d. per stone from
Friday's prices. Veal was also lower by ad. per stone, but Pork
was brisk in sale, at Friday's statement. The market this dsy
VAS very dull, all meat looking down, and most of the catde
°fixed west of inferior quality. I

LONDON. AION DAY, DECEMBER 23.

The momentary quiet that reigns in the political
hemisphere at the present moment, may be well
compared with that which pervades the natural one
before any great convulsion. The answer from
Madrid to the demands of France has not yet been
received, but the anticipation that war must take
place is proved by the slow, but persevering decline
of all sorts of Stock, whether English or Foreign—
it is certain that a declaration of war between France
and Spain, or a commencement of hostilities would
drive down our Consul: from 6 to 8 per cent, from
the great probability that England would be em-
broiled in the difl'erence by some means or other—
and the reduction from 113 to 80i which has taken
place, almost imperceptibly chews the opinion of
Capel-court.

The intolerant Orange party in Ireland have, we
hope, overshot their mark—by the outrageousness
of their conduct towards the present Viceroy, at
the Theatre, they have shewn to the moderate
Protestants that to exterminate or enslave the Ca-
tholic population is the end they have in view—and
thus all the respectable, rational part of the Pro-
testants have been detached from these blood-thirsty
Orangemen. We are at a loss to suppose how these
ruffians can reconcile their assumption of exclusive
LOYALTY, with so decided an opposition to the be-
nignant and conciliatory wishes and commands ex-
pressed by his Nlajesty on his late visit to " the
1, Emerald Isle.'

Extract from the Sierra I cone Gazette of the 2d
June, 18`22:—" By his Britannic Majesty's chip
Myrmidon, on Monday last, we received the dis-
treming information of the loss of one of the Spa-
nish prizes, the le.man, of Hay.-.nnah, taken in
the Bonny, on board of which, melancholy to relate,
nearly 'bur hundred slaves, and sixteen seamen of
the Iphigenia, perished ! The officers in charge,
Messrs. Betty and Doughty, are unhappily among
the number of the sufferers. At the time this
dreadful catastrophe occurred, the Yeoman was in
sight of the Myrmidon—and from the violence of
the tornado in which she was upset, any assistance
was totally impossible; indeed, we understand the
first intimation Captain Leeke had of the fact, was
from the boat of the Yeoman, which he picked up
four days afterwards.at sea, with seven seamen,
who had miraculously saved themselves from the
wreck. When the examination which is now being
taken by the Commodore, is completed, we shall
have the painful duty of publishing further particu-
lars respecting this truly heart-rending event."
The Marquis Camden has paid over to the Con-
solidated Fund the sum of 9,0711. 13s. 5d., being
the amount of fees which his Lordship bad relin-
quished as Teller of the Exchequer for 1522.
A Frankfurt Paper states, that some English spe-
culators have sent an agent to Greece, to negotiate
a loan of 200,0001, sterling with the insurgent
Chiefs.

SUNDAY, :(ARCH 24.

Tim DIAMONDS.—We regret to have been the
means of communicating to our readers last week,
as a statement of facts on this subject, what we are
now convinced, from information on which we can
implicitly rely, is entirely without foundation.

The proceedings in the House of Commons since
our last,' have been unattended by any occurrence
worthy of animadversion—they have in fact ex-
tended no farther than an arduous struggle between
the biassed and the unbiassed—between those who
gain by a bad system, and those who arc anxious
to reform it—or to condense the terms, between
thc dependent and independent component parts of
that honourable House—we give the priority against
cur will to the dependent part, because to our great
sorrow, and to the misfortune of poor old England,
it constitutes the majority.—Mr. Hume proceeds
fearlessly, and with laudable perseverance to un-
mask in all their labyrinthian secrecy, the impo-
sitions practised on the public by Messrs Liverpool,
Londonderry, Vansittart, and Co., and although
Lis eiforts arc night after night opposed by all
the phalanx of impure and purchareable soi-disant
Peprcsentatives of the People, one unquestioned
std undeniable good must result from those expo-
s:tions—thet inform the country at large, through
ths2 medium of the Press, not WHO are their Reprc-
tatives, for that is but too well known, but WHAT
are their Representatives, which cannot Le too well
known—indeed were it not for the benefit conferred
on the country by that part of the Press which is
devoted to diurnal and weekly publication, through
which alone the speeches of our legislators and their
opinions become known to the country at I .rge, we
should consider the continuance of a House of Com-
mons unproductive of any other good than as the
means of voting impositions on an already heavily
oppressed community—but however they may en-
deavour to disguise it we know from experience
that the most callous and impudent men alive (we do
not restrict this observation to the .Members of the
Cabinet) cannot shew an urthlanched check when
they encounter the groans and execrations of their
injured and insulted countrymen

ISbTANLLY V. HILL.

Mr. Sergeant Pell that the question in this case arose
out of an action brought by Mr. M, instsnley, the auctioneer,
against Mr. Richard Hill, the attorney, of ebancery-lane, for
221. Ms. for bnsiness done by the plaintia in his profession, in
his profession in the year 1813, and to this action the defen-
dant bad pleaded the Statute of Limitation. lie (lid not com-
plain of the plea, fur it was a useful mid wholesome statute, to
prevent a man from bring called upon to pay over again • debt
nt a distant period, when he might have lost original documents;
but by the Statute of Limitation it was net necessary that an
actual promise of payment should be made within six years ; it
was quite enough to show that any thing had oceurred within
the prescribed period which el idenced the existence of the
debt ; sad, in this clue, be could go to that extent.
Mr. Sergeant Vsnglian said, that his client did not intend to
take advantage of the Statute of Limitation; all lie desired was
to have the account examined—but he had swill so in the begin-
ning. The case was here agreed to be referred.

Letters from Pat is observe that the prohibition
at the English Ambassador's with respect to letters
to and from Logland, is very rigidly enforced.--
The Duke of Orleans, who has been in the habit
of sending a great number to England by thischan-
nel, was politely inthrmed when he sent several let-
ters to the ambassador's, that they would not be
thrwartled, as Sir Charles Stuart had given a posi-
tive pledge to the French Government that no more
• letters should be sent by his courier except on offi-
cial business. It is generally understood here, that
this is a mere post-office interference, in consequence
of the considerable sum that the practice took from
the revenue. You may take this, however, as a
fact: it was found that several suspected characters,
whose letters might have been opened at the Gene-
ral Post-office it they had come regularly, were in
the habit of sending and nueiviag communications
with impunity, by means of the British Atubassa•
does bag, and therefore it was very properly stated
to Sir Charles, who readily complied with the wishes
of the Government.
By command of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland,
a letter has been written by Alr. Coulburn, to the
Lord Mt.yor of Dublin, expressive of the Viceroy's
entire approbation of the judgment, firmness, and
temper with which his Lordship discharged his duty,
prohibiting the dressing up of the statute of King
William, on the 4th of November, which duty was
rendered difficult and invidious by the peculiar cir-
cumstances of the moment.

On Monday, Mr. Sheriff Thompson went to the
office of Mr. Peel, for the purpose of representing,
that the case of Itooerts, who was sentenced to be
executed, was one to which the Royal clemency
might Iht extended. The Secretary, however, re-
'alit:a, that his Majesty saw no grounds for tdtcring
the iktermtuatimt already made liauwo.

Conch, out of which it was stolen.
The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, for 13051.
'the Solicitor-General, on a former day, moved for a
new trial on three g Is. First, that there was in this
ease a euticealment of the value and contents of the
parcel.
Secondly, that the decision of the Court in the case of
Nicholson e. %Italian precluded the plaintiff from sustain..
Mg the verdict. In this case notice was given that the de-
iendant would not be answerable for any parcel above the
value of 51. unless it was inspired according to the value,
and there was nothing to deprive him of the heneht of
that notice.

tiff incurred.

Thomas Bartell and Maria Angel were put to the
bar, charged with assaulting Thos. Thayer, by throwing
him out of the window of a noted brothel kept by the
defendant, in Charles-street. Drury lane.---Our readers
may recollect, that the circumstances of this case have i
undergone repeated investigition al Bow-street.
Mr. Alley moved the Court that the trial should be
put off till next sessions. The application, he said, was
grounded on an affidavit made by the surgeon, who at-
tended Thayer, which stated, that he (Thayer) was
wholly unable to attend the Court, and was in imment
danger of his life.
The prisoner Burrell addressed the Court, and ex-
pressed his hope this he should not be kept longer in
confinement without being tried.
The Chairman told the prisoners, that after having all
but murdered the prosecutor, they must not expect that
they should be allowed to have their trial take place,
when, in consequence of the desperate assault they had
committed on aunt, he was unable to appear to give evi-
dence. They must remain in prison till next Sessions ;
and they might Mink themselves more happy than they
deserved to be, if die prosecutor's recovery should allow
them to be tried for an assault, and not for a murder.
