LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 3, 1830.

An express from Paris has brought the Ga-
zette de France dated Friday, the Messager des
Chambres, the Moniteur, and other papers of
Thursday. They contain the following par-
ticulars of an amnesty, which the usurper MI-
GUEL consents to grant, provided he is acknow-
ledged by England and the other Powers. The
amnesty amounts, in our opinion, to mere bur-
lesque, and is perfectly insulting in its stipulations.
To depend on the pleasure of Don MIGUEL
eighteen months tifter he shall have been recog-
nised by England ! Oh ! mockery—

--What can'et thou to damnation add

Greater than this ?

If England but recognise the Usurper of his
Niece's throne, the people of Portugal may hence-
forth cry, in the bitterness of their souls—

" Mourn, hapless Lusitania, mourn,
Thy loanish'd peace, thy laurels torn !"

" According to letters of the 17th ult. from Liaison,
the following is the act of amnesty that Don Miguel con-
sents to grant :—' 1. An amnesty will he granted to all
privates, and officers below the rank of Captain. 2. Civil
officers who have taken no active share in in the re-
actions which have occured in Portugal against the autho-
rity of Don Miguel, will likewise have the benefit of
ausnesty, but not be reinstated in their offices. 3.
The Treasury, in restoring the property of those emi-
grants who shall retur❑ to Portugal within six months,
will not restore the rentals of which the Government
may have disposed. 4. The garrison of Terceira, and the
inhabitants of that island, will be included in this am-
nesty. 5. The prisoners will be set at large, but some
designated by Government, will leave the kingdom, and
reside abroad for a certain time. 6. With regard to all
other classis of emigrants, Don Miguel engages to grant
another amnesty, 18 months after the recognition of his
authority by England, reserving to himself such exceptions
as Le may please. 7. Counts Saldanha and Villa Flor,
Generals Stubbs and Mello, the Marquis de Valentia, and
some other noted characters, who fought against the Mar-
tinis of Chaves and General Povoas, will be proscribed for
life.'

" Letters of the 18th ult., from Trieste, announce, that
several vessels, lately arrived from Alexandria, confirm the
intelligence of warlike preparations on the part of the Paeha
•f Egypt, which excited astonishment even in Alexandria,
especially as it was known there that the Pacha will take
no share in the expedition against Algiers.
" The following is an extract of a private letter of the
27th ult. from Frankfort It is believed that Venice is
indebted for the privilege of becoming a free port to the
commercial policy •f England. It is well known that
a Treaty of Commerce has been negotiated between
that power and Austria, and it is now asserted that the
said privilege is one of the conditions stipulated by Eng-
land at the opening of the negotiations. Moreover, it is
stated that this Convention is merely the appendix of a
Treaty of Alliance, offensive and defensive, agreed upon
between the two Powers, but which will not yet be made
public.' "

ST. PETERSBURCII, MARCH 17.—A letter from
Erzerouni,:of the 20th January, says : —The march of the
Russians into Asia Minor has been rendered memorable by
another remarkable event in this neighbourhood. Yes-
terday, in the presence of several thousand Christians, the
cross of our Saviour for the first time after the lapse
of nine centuries, was again bathed in the Euphrates. The
three Russian Regiments of Infantry, which compose thegar-
rison of Erzeroum, marched, with colours flying, to the Eu.
phrates, nine worsts (six miles) from the city, the day before
yesterday. The Russian Priest, the Greek Clergy, and the
Arminian High Priest, were there at the appointed time. The
people, consisting partly of Turks, flocked together from all
the neighbouring countries. The rejoicing of the Christians
on the dipping of the cross, is not to be described. At
the same moment the troops fired a general salute. The
Russians and their arms, the Armenians and Greeks, were
sprinkled with holy water, and the troops marched back
with music playing and colours flying.
HAMBURG, MARcit 30.—The Swedish Diet was closed
on the 19th instant, by a speech from the throne pro-
nounced by the King in person. The document is too
long to admit of giving it entire; the following is, how-
ever, an extract:—

" Twenty years ago the ancient and warlike kingdom of
Sweden contained less than 2,400,000 inhabitants, at pre-
sent its population amounts to nearly 3,000,000 ; the na-
tional debt exceeded 53,000,000, of which 44,000,000 have
already been extinguished ; your vote for the public ser-
vice amounted in 1812 to 2,650,000 dollars, which has
gradually been reduced to one-fifth."

It is currently reported in circles likely to be
well informed, that the Charter of the East India
Company will be renewed, with some modifica-
tions, and that the Company are to retain the
monopoly of the China trade.

It would appear from what Mr. PEEL and the 1
Earl of ABERDEEN said last night in Parlia-
ment, that the greatest unanimity exists between
the three Allied Powers on the subject of Greece,
and that after the Easter Recess, the Papers
will he laid before the public. The only mat-
ters which yet remain for settlement are of minor
importance, and are entirely owing to Prince
LEoroLD and his German friends. Upon this
point we cordially agree with the Times, in
trusting that " a Prince so singularly fa.
voured as LEOPOLD has been by England
in the first instance, and now no less by
France and Russia, will not proffer any
conditions which cannot and ought not to
receive the ready acquiescence of the Allies.
His sagacity must know full well, that to
the Allies he owes his enviable pre-emi-
nence, and not to the brawlers in taverns or in
senates.
m\aVatlde h,ve no
doubt
that he takes an
enlightel
Just view of his actual position,

and is eager for the field of exertion where he
can at once justify the choice of his electors, and
vindicate the long-calumniated characte r of the
people whose destinies are committed to his care."

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
'WELLESLEY V. DUKE OF BEAUFORT.

This morning considerable sensation was created in Lin-
coln's-Inn-Hall, from its having been understood that an
application was to be made against Mr. Wellesley, calling
upon him to deliver over to the guardians his second son,
who bad been found residing with him in his house in
Dover-street ; and that Mr. Wellesley was again, in pro-
pria persona, to appear to defend the application, in all
probability accompanied by the boy.
Soon after the Lord Chancellor took his seat,

Mr. PEPYS stated that be had an application to make in
this case, but as he understood Mr. Wellesley intended to
be present for the purpose of opposing it, and not seeing
Mr. Wellesley in Court, he did not wish to press it on in
his absence.

Mr. Rankin (solicitor for Mr. Wellesley) assured his
Lordship that Mr. Wellesley would be in Court in a few
minutes.

In a quarter of an hour afterwards Mr. Wellesley made
his appearance, accompanied by his son James (a boy ap-
parently about 13 years of age, of an extremely genteel
and prepossessing appearance), and his solicitor, who im-
mediately took their seats immediately behind the centre of
the bar.

Mr. Parrs stated that the petition was for his Lord-
ship's order, calling upon 3lr. Wellesley to deliver over
the boy to his guardians, Mr. Courtenay and the Duke of
Wellington. Just at the time when the school was about
to break up for the Easter holidays, the boy was found to
have disappeared, no one knew how or in what way, and
afterwards he was observed to be living with his father.—
An affidavit of a person named Edwards, stated that lie
had applied to Mr. Wellesley, at his house in Dover-street,
with a letter from Mr. Courtenay, requesting Mr. W. to
deliver up the child to the deponent, that lie might be
conveyed by the guardians to Strathsfieldsaye, where the
Duchess of Wellington was expecting him to spend the
holidays. The affidavit further stated that Mr. W. took
the deponent into a room, and into the presence of the boy,
requesting the boy to make his own statement, in answer to
the application ; and that the boy told him he did not wish
to return, and that if he were taken off by force he should
run away again to his father the very first opportunity
that presented itself. The boy was accordingly not de-
livered over. The Learned Counsel could not doubt that
this Might have been considered a contempt of Court on
the part of Mr. Wellesley, and that the guardians might
have made in consequence an application of a very different
nature to the one now before the Court; but they had
been unwilling to do more than simply to call upon his
Lordship to order the re-delivery of the boy.
Mr. Wellesley congratulated Mr. Pepys en the mild
and conciliatory manner in which, for the first time, lie,
or any Counsel that had ever been opposed to him in '
these proceedings, had addressed the Court. The propo-
sition, he said, however, which is made on the part of
the Learned Gentleman is a proposition which, I think, as
a man, I may put to your Lordship and ask—if ever
there was an opportunity—if ever there was an occasion
on which a man felt as I have done, a desire (as I am
sure I have always done) to treat the laws of my country
with respect, however oppressive they may be—l may put
it to every man whose mind is not fettered by the tram-
mels of this Court—to any gentleman, or to any
father of a family—to the Learned Gentleman himself,
who has made this application, when he pulls off his gown
and wig, and goes home to his wife and family, whether
he or any man could lay his hand upon his heart, and say
to another father, " You are unworthy to have the guar-
dianship of your child, deliver him over to another."
The LORD CHANCELLOR—Have you any affidavit?
Mr. Wellesley—Yes, I have, arid I will read nu affi-
davit ; but I think I have a right here, not only in my
own name, but in the name of every man in Eng-
land,—l think I have a right to dispute the prin-
ciple, and lam now dealing with the principle that
has been laid clown by the Learned Gentleman.—
I say I have a right to dispute the principle, not only for
my own sake, but for the sake of every Englishman who
shall come after me. Does your Lordship suppose, does
•the learned gentleman suppose that I am such a fool as to
come here and dispute a principle Nv hich I have not con-
sidered, and which is not revolting to every kind and good
feeling? I may feel, and I have felt, that the proceedings
against me have been an uninterrupted series of oppression ;
but the more oppressive they have been, and the more
I have resisted them with fortitude, the more credit do
I consider is due to me. I say, if ever there was an op-
portunity afforded on which a man in a Court of Justice
was bonsai to say order or no order, power or no power,
this is that occasions on which he ought, as I do declare
that never shall I shut my door against my child. I will
tell your Lordship that my children have received from me
at the earliest periods of their lives—and Lord Chancellor
Eldon himself was obliged to admit it--admitting it in
words of rather a curious description, he said, " Un-
doubtedly, in Mr. Wellesley's letters there arc some passages
which are extremely objectionable"—(and I admit, my
Lord, the truth of that observation)--but in all these
letteres.he breathes strict injunctions as regards the good
conduct of the children. On this occasion who has been
sent to take my child from me ? Is he a gentleman ? no ;
and why is he not ? Because where is the gentleman to
be found that would go to a father's house, and say,
surrender up your child to me. Its a servant of
Mr. Courtenay who is sent to me. I asked him to see
the child, and desire the child to make his own statement
to the servant. The child says he does not wish to go
away, and that if he is taken off he will run away again
the moment an Opportunity presents. Does your Lord-
ship suppose, that after that statement, and after what he
has said to me, he will not put that threat into exe-
cution ? And can you suppose that I will shut my door
against him? Certainly not : my door shall always be
open whenever my child comes to me ; and if there is a
power in this Court to open my doors, they will only be
opened in obedience to its commands by the full exercise
of the law; and if I have the power to shut them, the
force of that law alone will break them open, because
shut them I shall.

The Loßn CHANCELLOR—Is this the only affidavit?
Mr. Wellesley—That is the only affidavit I have made.
I have given notice to read all the others.

The LORD CIiANCELLOR-While you have been speak-
ing I have read through the affidavit, and there is nothing
in it. Really it is only an idle waste of time your pro-
ceeding. There is nothing in the affidavit at all, and the
consequence is that the child mina be delivered over to his
guardians.

Mr. Wellesley—l beg your Lordship's pardon.
The LORD CHANCELLOR-The child, Mr. Wellesley,
must be delivered to his guardians.
Mr. 'Wellesley—The affidavit I have made, in my judg-
ment, is an extremely important affidavit; and I will tell
your Lordship, with perfect frankness and sincerity, that
I am particularly anxious that the contents of this affidavit
should go forth to the public, that all mankind may
know the circumstances connected with it, and that al-
though your Lordship has decided—

The LORD CIIANCELLOR-The child must be delivered
up. If you have any complaint to make against the
guardians I will hear it at any time.
Mr. Wellesley.—But stop--
The Loan CIIANCELLOR.—No, re illy I cannot suffer
the time of the Court to be thrown away ; there is a great
deal of business before it—the child must be delivered to
the guardians.

Mr. Wellesley.—The application against the guardians
d am going to make.
Mr. Pp-rs..—But you can't do that now.
3lr. Wellesley.—But stop if you please.

. .
The LORD CIIANCELLOR.—I shall order the child to be
delivered to the guardians, and take the resposibility of
that upon myself.

. .
Mr. Wellesley then stated that he was preparing his ap-
plication against the guardians ; that from motives of
delicacy he had not introduced into his affidavit any
charges against them, and that he should be prepared, he
understood from his solicitors, to appear in Court upon
that application in about a fortnight. He wished his
Lordship to have the goodness to go and converse
with the boy, who was in his Lordship's private
room, (whither he had gone at the conanaence-
went of the discussion, at the suggestion of the Court)
fur then his Lordship would be satisfied that he was an
extremely intellig.ent boy, and that if he were compelled to
go back to the custody of the guardians, it would, in all
probability destroy his health, ruin his mind, and break
one of the noblest spirits that ever animated a youth.
Mr. Peers stated that one of the guardians was in
Court, who would take charge of the boo immediately.
Mr. Coartenay said that he was perfectly ready to take
the boy, to treat him with every possible kindness, and
convey him forthwith into the hands of the Duchess of

Wellington.
The LORD CILANLELLOR said he should hear any appli-
cation of Mr. Wellesley's whenever it
might be brought
orw and ;
meantime, he should certainly retire for a
fminute and speak to the boy:
iiis LoAonzr then mot into his mom where the boys

was, and immediately sent bask into Court for Mr. Cour-
tenay also to go into the room. In a few minutes his
Lordship returned into Court, and stated that he Lad seen
the boy in the presence of Mr. Courtenay and had ordered
Mr. Courtenay to take the custody of him, who, he was
sure, would treat him with every possible kindness.
Mr. PEPTS, after what had passed, thought himself
called upon to ask she Court to engraft into the order a
restraint upon Hr. Wellesley from harbouring or again
receiving the boy into his possession.
Mr. Wellesley said be should oppose any such terms be-
ing appended to the order.
The Loan CHANCELLOR did not think:it necessary to
comply with the request of Mr. Pepys.
Mr. Wellesley then requested what, as a father, he said,
he had a right to demand,—that his boy should not be
coerced, and that he should not be put into a tax-cart, and
dragged across his estate ; both of which offences had al-
ready been committed.
. .

The Loan CHANCELLOR was sure that the boy would
receive every possible kindness.
Mr. Wellesley next thanked his Lordship, not only for
his indulgence on th:s occasion, but for his very gentle-
manly conduct when he (Mr. W.) had called upon him in
private, a day or two ago, upon this subject, and retired.
Mr. Courtenay endeavoured to get the young gentleman
into a cabriolet, which was standing at the door of his
Lordship's private room, but be resisted so strenuously as
to make it impossible to get him put into it, either with
any degree of safety or prospect of utility to detain him in
it; the result was, that Mr. Courtenay was obliged to send
for a post chaise, into which the boy was placed and driven
off with.

♦ICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
INJUNCTION.-FLIGHT V. EATON.

Mr. KNIGHT applied upon notice in this case for an in-
junction to restrain the defendant from working a stamp-
ing machine. The plaintiff was the owner of two houses,
situated in a lane in the city. The defendant, who is a
spoon-maker, is the occupier of a house in the same lane,
separated from the houses of the plaintiff by a narrow pas-
sage only, and who has set up the machine in question for
the purpose of stamping spoons. The tenants of the plain-
tiff have given notice of their intention t• quit, stating
that the houses, by the working of the defendant's stamp-
ing machine, are kept in a state of perpetual motion, and
are extremely dangerous to reside in.
His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR. granted the injunc-
tion, observing that the nuisance was of a much worse
character than in the case reported in " Pere Williams,"
where a bell had been rung every morning at five o'clock.

THE YUWDS.

The easterly winds have again prevented the expected
arrivals from the westward, consequently we have a great
dearth of information. We understand that a treaty of
navigation and commerce between England and Austria was
signed in London, the 21st of December last. The
preamble states, that the King of Great Britain and
Ireland and the Emperor of Austria, are desirous of
increasing the commercial intercourse between their re-
spective states, and expresses their mutual wish of con-
tributing to this object, by a'reciprocal abrogation of all
descrirninating and counteracting duties levied on the ships
or productions of either nation. His Majesty's indisposi-
tion has some weight on the Funds. Consols which left
off yesterday at 92+ for the Account, opened at 92i, and
are now 921 with little or no business doing ; not a
feature in the Foreign Market worth noticing at present.
