MILAV, MARCEI t 7.-,--Sinee the last acWices
niv:tatia, the liritkh have .taken possession of the'
Island of Lessina, 4sltnated on 'the froutit.tr of this
provinc..e, and where'the Russians maintained them-
'selves-during many nionths-in the l,.st yLar.
It appears that the intention of the English has.
been to secitre theinseit es, by this situation, a point
to water- kid obtain
.provision, as well as to secure-a
good anchorage ground in bast weather, as Lessina
a proper place for such purposes. It is very,pOssible-
that the Imperial army stationed.in Dalmatia will not
long suffer the cnerny to remain in possession of this
Island, which is so near the Continent that they can.
approach,it with small vessel's. Letters from Rome

of the 2d of this month state, that thing.; remained'
ttie same : nothing has transpired of ituport-
Mice in the ntotiations which are pending with the
Holy See. It is certain, that, by an order of General
Allot:Lis, the Papal troops have been incorporated
with the French. Ali the Neapolitan Cardinals and
about to return to their own country. The other.
Cardinals and Prelates arelikeviise quitting Rome. .

VIENNA, 11/41/11;.:24.: 12.—Our attention in politics
. is directed ttetonstantinople,..and the great events
are likely to transpire in Ttirkey. In the
tight of the 7th of this munth'arrived two Couriers
from Constantinople; one of them brought dis-
patches to our Court, and the other was theteiirer of
dispatches from SEHASTIANI, which he carried Wlth
him to paris. The reports by these Couriers olia
which private letters confirm)
.are; that tie Turks
arts preparing for war 'with eXtraeidinary adivity,
and that the Porte appeals de,siroes to negotiate with
England. The Austrian troops continue near the
frontiers at Croatia and Sclavonia, to form a cordon
along the frontier's of • European Turkey. It is said
that Gen. f)Latit, one of the best Oificers of the Au-

Flastauttort, MARCU 22.—We are informed that.
the Prince De PONTE Coavo crossed the Great Belt
in six hours, and arrived at Copenhagen on the `t 6th
inst. where the greatest Preparations were nicking
for carrying on the war with vigour against Sweden.
The Declaration against Sweden is affixed every
where, and Privateers are authorized to seize Swedish
vessels. We have also received here the first coat-
mnnications of the march of the. Russians, which
are,principally as follows :----
" Oti the 21St, the array was put in motion, and
being arrived at the frontiers, at once passed over
the frdntierts at Nyalutt, Rotsola, Memela,
Icie, and Abcrfors. The rampafts of Aberforc...weie

COURT.OF.O-IANCEgY, Art; tt. pc.

Ex-rxaTE iIUBBERT. . •

The Petitioner appeared in person, anit,.florn be,
bind thebar, among the' junior Oinnsel, ad&essed
the Court. The Petition itself •was not preeiliefy-in
the regular form, but w.e tine objet, of it was
the removal of IVlr.Lowe froth the I,4:nation of Ass,ig:
nee, under a Cotnniission issued` %Shill- Hubbert.
The Petitioner had received a learned etrueation, was
intended fora professional life, and obtained a fel-
lowship in the Oniversity,-theentolumenis of which,
we: believe, he still enjoys.- - He had At one ticoe'poS-

sussed a fortune to th.aiuount of ,19,0001:; but we
suppose the habits he had t cquired during his literary
"pursciitS were little suited to produce that circum-
speaion and distrust which is often necessary' to Luc,:
cess in trade ; and we know the fad to be, that after
having embarked in commercial engagements fur no
long period, two Commissions of Bankruptcy were
issued against him. His affairs were very much in-
volved with the vast concerns in the Bankruptq of
Mr. Dunhell, whin we have so often bad occasion
tU notice in .our reports of the proceedings in Equity.
Perhaps somikof our readers will recoiled a case we
stated,from the Court .of king's Bench, in which the
Keeper of the Baptist Coffeerhouse.brought an aEtiun

unsuceessfully against Mr. tiubbert, for provisions,
supplied at that Gthitlemati's Chamberi, to Mr. Dun-
bell, to whom Mr. Hubly:rt had lent them for the
temporary accommodation of his friend.
Mr. fluatEtur, in support of this_Petition, enter,
ed into a tong'statement Of the history of his afiirs,
bath prior and subseqUent to the second Commission
issued ,h,m, from which we colletted that,

. _
from an excess of, confidence in particular
duals, be had plunged himself into inextricable\dif-
fietilti,:s. Thu -has 'he detailed might be considered
as a ptrAvertiil apology ; but ha:did not-himself prey
sent them to ,the ,Court as a complete yindicationaf
his condu6t. It appeared that a young
,Geutleman,
of thp name of •Fletcher,. had been 'principally' in-
strumtmtal in the calamities attendant upon his first-
CollitliiSSlOD, and being- on the point of deatl4,hs
desired to relieve his conscience on that aceount;-by
a full confession of all his miscondu,'.-t. We belier 4
that the channel through' which hecorninunication
was in be made respeaing this confesijon, iisap
pointed the wishcts both of the deceased and-of- the
PctitioncL This channel_ was' Mr. .Lowe to whose
'conduit a great variety of objeatons were made in a
long series ottranSaaiobs., which not being referable
to the subjett before. flat CourN. I:re think it nnne,
cessaly to detail. Mr. kfubbett concluded with loud
and energetic complaints , against this person, -and
with observing, that although he diSliked.to meddle.
with troubled waters, yet'Mr. Lowe and others 41iii
by heglett, or misappliet-aftivity, would sutft.T his
estats: to ge to ruin, shOuld find.thatbe would;-beat-
tentive to the interests Of his cDeclitors, and 4iat he
should anxiodSly and vigilantly prom& their rights
and their property.
The LORD CHANCELI.OIt said, that he hoped he
-17.1 t as a man ought to do for.the painful situation in-
which the Gentleman was placed, who had just at:

dressed the Court; but he sat there as Jage, and
in that capacity lie must administer the Law, as
fr. public duties required. i For this purpose k& must.
.•{lischarge from his Mina all that was arrehsvant to
the question betnre him, and therefore, almost the
whole of what had been now-submitted to hiscOn-
sideratitin. It was imposs6le for hint, tO do just.ice
but according to the regular established forms by
which alone it :timid bel obtained ; .and when ,this
Gentleman, or any creditor would appear before him,
and state by petition a cOmpla;nt which adninted of
a remedy:in a Court of EquitY, in the. iluniner 'in
which such redress, was to be sought, hp would see
tharample justice was done, as far as the authority
of that-Court would extend for such a purpose.. He
must likewise Observe; that when the party accused.
should collie there, they also should receive a ;patient:
hearing, and should not :he
°prejudiced by any extra-:
neous conununiCations, not made acenrding to:the,
forms, and With the satielion the 'Court had UM.»
forrnly required. ' It was. impossible for him to do
any thing with regard to the present application,:un
less a partic.ilar order that had .been made ou, the,
former.mmissinu were retraaed. He might see
reason .to withdraw, that order, and for th 4 purpose'
of re-considering it, he desired to. be fernislied. w tth
copy of it. When he had done that, it would be
time enough to dispose of thiS Petition.

A man of the name of Shepherd, who w:ts an
accomplice with Rook,, shit the two other fOat.

on Wednesday, was admitted- an evidence apinst
