AUGSBURGH, FED. 4.—By a Letter of a late
date from Cracoqu we are informed, that the
Russian Army in •Woll!ptia and Pedofia, has sud-
denly, begun to march towards Moldavia, and
Turkey in Europe; The assassination of the Rus-
,sian Officer by the Turkish soldiery at Constan-
tinople, and the Declaration lately made to .the
Porte by the Russian Minister, may serve to ex-
' plain this movement, which was not unexpected.
The Cabinet of Peter4mrgh beholds with a
jealous eye the influence which the British Go-.
vernment has at Constantinople ; and the plan
of an invasion of Turkey by the combined Ar-
mies of two or three great Continental Powers,
- to compel the GRAND SIGNIOR to withdraw him-
self 'from that influence, or to seek, in these pro-
Ninces.for the basis of a general Peace, .is Much

" May it please- Your Excellency--As the two
French Officers,; who were the bearers of your
Excellency's Letter to the Holy Father, 'return
to. Florence, I should think myself deficient in
my duty., if I did not,inform your Excellency of
the polite and obliging manner.in which they dis_
charged. their mission, and it is the desire of the
Holy Father that I should testify to them his
complete satisfaaion.
" A Courier, who arrived here yesterday from
AncOna, with dispatches for Government, brought
intelligence that General PAIMET has declared

that consequently the delegated Prelate may con.

of the favourable disposition towards his person,
and feels.the full -value of it. The Holy Father,
op his part, will embrace every opportunity. of
making a proper return with these sentiments of
interest With which he, is inspired for the First
Consul, on whorndepends,the tranquillity of Re-
ligion, and the happiness of. Europe.
' I must refer your .Excellency to the two

be forced to traverse his States, if the Royal Army
did iiot. entirely evacuate them, that General
would expose himself to danger, if he refused.
He started one difficulty;- by-obSeeVing that
your Excellency did not absolutely promise that
if he retired, you would certainly not enter.
The conversation Was animated, and he 'replied
by maintaining, that he had - not the power of
making political prdthises, -such as that of-shut-

was this : That the Party injured by this want'

FEBRUARY 25.
COODAIR V, Hilt!), AND OTUER.S.

THIS was an Adion brought by the ilaintiri
against the Defendants, who are the Assignees of
Mr. Marriott who lately kept the Paul's Head Ta-
Vern, in Cateaton-street, and who became a Bank-
rupt, to recover a sum of about 6801, being the
deposit he made on the purchase of a large Ball-
room, whickwas,sold to him by auetion, by Mr.
Philips, an Anaioneer. The Aaion was ground-
-ed upon this : That the room and premises which
were put up to sale at this auction, and knocked
down to the Plaintiff as the best bidder, were
not according to the printed Particulars which
were published of them, and handed about at the'
time of the sale, the room being Itated to be Ito
feet long, zo wide, 4c.:wher,.. it was not above
90 feet long, i*c. The question was, " Whe-
ther the sale of these premises was binding on the
Plaintiff for the purchase of them ?"
It was contended .on the part of the
tiff, that the agreement for the pUreluise of.
these premises was void, because the thing. sold
was not answerable to the description which
was given of h Ly .the Auttioneer, and that as
the agreement was thus void, the Plaintiff' was
entitled to recover his 'depo.it.money.
It w.is contended on the part of the Defendant
" That the Audionecr warned the Gentlemen
before the sale begau, not. to 'abide the ,print-
ed Payticulars of the, sale, for .that he did not
know the dimensions -of the premise's; ;
as they were just adjoining the place of sales they
might measure them, &c."—That, therefore, the
Plaintiff made a bargain with his eyes open, and
could not have it now rescinded. '

It appeared in evidence, that several Gentle.
men attended the sale of the preniises in ques-
tion, many ofwhom being employed to bid, were,
interested in being_very attentive to every thing
that passed at the bidding, and during the whole
conduit of the sale, from its commencement to its
conclusion, and they
,did not hear the Auaioneer
tell the company any thing-of there being an in-
accuracy or defea in the printed Particular of
the sale, nor did they hear the Auaioneer
many of the Gentlemen who attended the sale,
either before or at she bidding, " There is the
room, you may go and look at it yOurselves,Gen.
tlemen." In a word,
Lord KENYON held that the ConditiOh
sale must be "according to the printed Particulat..,
provided they were circulated by the ; authority of
the Auaioneer at the sale, unless it could be
made to appear that the - Auctioneer made sotnt
exception to the Particulars before the bidd2rs,
and that ht did so to the knowledge of the'per-
son who became the purchaser ; and his Lordship
observed, it would make wild work of the Law
were it otherwise, for a person might come into
an AuCtien-room and take tip the printed Patti--
culars, and bid upon the faith of them as' trnly re-
presenting the article to be sold, and-buth'persoli
might not have been in the room When the Ntic:
tioneer made tqualifyin declaration io Controtit
the Particulars of the sale. The individual s'tho
was declared to be the purchaser must be proved ro
have knowledge, of this qualifying declaration of
the Auttioneer, otherwise he would not be bound
by it. That being-so, the next point *is, Whether
the premises were agreeable to the kscription
given of them, that was to say, faikty and sub.
stantially agreeable to the printed particUlarS.—
If they were not, the: bargain must void, 'ant}
consequently the deposit.money muit be roomed.
It was then proved, that the Plaintifl was de-
clared the highest bidder at the sate, and that he
paid 6781.' by way ofvdepoSit-rnottey his Fur
-
chase : that the room; in tatiestiou *as :Stated, it,
the Particulars of Salo, to bet ro feet long, Lu:
that it did not rheas-urn muclrabove So.'.

It wasi.then proposed, that Mi. Philips; the
Audienteer, -should*be examineki, to prove what
passed when he put the piernises up foir
order to thew that-the-Particulars were nQ( stilted
by i.tittkr,nor .con iclered by the Bidders it.csort,:et
