dered, on the death of his father, and making very obliging
offers on the subject of the occupation of Africa.
The Styx, with the body of General Damremont, was ex-
pected to-day, but it is the Chimere which has arrived from
Bona with invalid officers. It is late, and we shall not have
our letters till to-morrow. _ _

Several transports with wounded soldiers are expected from
Bona. The bad weather has delayed their arrival, and the
rough sea must add to the sufferings of our soldiers. An.
other letter says that the Chiniere had the body of General
Peregaux, who died on the voyage.—Coninterce.

CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAV)

PONTI3 V. MANSFIELD.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this case, which
was argued before his Lordship at considerable length some
time since. The case came before the Court upon appeal
from the decision of his Honour the Vice Chancellor, declaring
that Miss Julia Barrington, the niece of Sir John Barrington,
was entitled not only to the sum of 10,0001. given her by Sir
John Barrington by deed, but also the sum of 10,000/. under
the codicil of Sir John's will. The Lord Chancellor, after
going at some length into the case, said that the evidence
adduced showed clearly to his mind that it was not the inten-
tion of Sir John Barrington to give his niece a double portion.
He was, therefore, of opinion that the Vice-Chancellor was
wrong in declaring that the gifts both by the deed and codicil
took effect. His Lordship would therefore reverse so much of
the judgment of the Court below as declared that the gift of
10,000/. by the codicil took effect. Under the circumstances of
the case, however, his Lordship would reverse that judgment
without costs.
