LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 28, 1831.

As this is his MAJESTY'S first birth-day
Since his accession to the Throne, the people,
we understand, are resolved to celebrate it in a
becoming spirit. With this view, numerous
Preparations are making in many parts of the
metropolis, for an illumination that may be
Worthy of the joyful occasion. When we re-
flect with what perfect phlegm on the part of
the people, Royal birth-days have hitherto
been kept ; when we remember that, with the
exception of a few interested courtiers, trades-
nleo, &c., not a soul cared sixpence about the
matter, and scarce twenty individuals in the me-
tropolis thought it worth their while to light up
an extra candle on the occasion, much less to put
themselves to the expense and inconvenience
°f an illumination ;--when we call to mind
all this, we cannot but be struck with the
great change that has been wrought in
the feelings of the people towards their
SOVEREIGN. Hitherto they have been in
the habit of respecting their KING as a matter-
°f-course duty ; now they love him from a deep
seated principle of gratitude. May he long sur-
vive to gladden the hearts of his devoted subjects !

We perceive by the German Papers, received
this morning, that Austrian policy has com-
pletely triumphed in Sardinia, and the new
may henceforth be considered as num-
bered among the vassals of METTERNICH.
But the day of retribution yet comes. The
Spirit of liberty is not extinct in Italy, it is only
subdued, and we are much mistaken if the Polish
question do not ere long induce Austria, as
bell as Prussia, to declare themselves openly. It
almost impossible for the contest to go on
tithout implicating these Powers in a war with
'ranee. The only difficulty with both Prussia
and Austria is, the doubt how far their respec-
tiVe people may be depended on. The
Ilblareh of " revolutionary" principles cannot

Political existence depends on blind and obsti-
natet adherence to things as they are—and a

ea 4Oiig that he cannot bow to reason, and
1111't respect the force of that public opinion,
atthleh it has been the business of his life to
eciliztt defiance. Necessity alone will awaken
11etion—and that necessity is daily becoming
4101, einiperious. The spirit of the age has ac-
quireda a momentum which nothing can arrest—
breT°ral influence is abroad, which fills the
theirtB of bad rulers with secret terror, and
which Wonder now is, how to avert a danger
Duly they confess to be irresistible. War will
Precipitate their fate—and Reform is de-

struction. The following extracts show that
Russian influence in Greece is on its last legs ;
and sincerely do we trust that the Turks will yet
be able to repay the autocrat of the North for
stirring up the embers of rebellion among the
Pachas of Scutari and other places. The SUL-
TAN will do well, after having subdued these, to
turn his attention to Poland. NICHOLAS will
then have enough on his hands :

SYRA, APRIL 4. —From the Courrier de Smyrne:—
A schooner, which has lately arrived from Hydra, brings
word that the President had appeared off the island in a
Russian ship, and invited the Primates to come on board,
but that they answered, " that as they did not see any
Greek ship they could not recognize in a person embarked
on board a foreign vessel the President of Greece." How-
ever, a communication was set on foot, to learn what griev-
ance the Hydriots bad to allege, and especially why they
sent away the representative of the Administration. They
answered, " that they claimed for themselves and for
Greece the enjoyments of the rights they had required, and
which had been sworn to." On the invitation of the Pre-
sident, not to suffer any independent journal to appear in
these islands, they sent him by way of answer the first
number of the journal of M. Polyzoides, who bad found
among them an asylum and support in his generous under-
taking. After a short stay in the road, the President
sailed to Napoli. The affairs of Maina are still in the
same state, it is only known that one of the cousins
of Pietro Bey took possession of the two gun-boats be-
longing to the Government. All ships of Hydra and
Spezzia which were in our port ready to sail for Con
stantioople and thence to the Black Sea, have given
up this voyage and returned home. This general
measure might lead us to infer that a new resolution has
been taken, in which these two islands acted together.
VIENNA, MAY 16.—Four per Cent. Metalliques 70i;
Bank Shares 1029.
VIENNA, MAY 15.--The Austrian Observer now
announces officially that the Emperor has sent Prince
Lewis Jablouswski to Turin, to compliment the new King
on his accession. The paper has the following remarks :
Were not the subject too intimately connected with
the most important interests of civil society, we might be
almost amused by the proceedings of certain Journals with
respect to the question of peace or war. Those Paris
Journals, which passionately preach up war, that is to
say anarchy, have taken up the death of Charles Felix,
King of Sardinia, as a peculiarly welcome means of ex-
citing the public mind."
Among the manufacturers of the news, by which it has
been endeavoured to deceive the public, the National is
particularly distinguished. The Moniteur has declared
its absurd articles to be what they are, but the war-loving
journal does not give up the contest. It continues to
amuse its readers with the most ridiculous fables of a con-
spiracy against the new King, at the head of which it
places the most distinguished persons under the direction
of the Austrian Cabinet, of the entrance of Austrian troops
into Piedmont, and the occupation of the most important
fortresses, of disorders attended with bloodshed in Turin,
&c. German journals do not fail to repeat these
fables, but it may be asked for whom are they pro-
pagated, and for what purpose? Certainly not to
deceive the Piedmontese, to whom the quiet acces-
sion of their new King and all that passes under
their own eyes, give irrefragable proofs of the contrary.
No ! only a small number of credulous Parisians, who
have no standard for foreign affairs but their blind confi-
dence, or the most ignorant and the most faithless of re-
porters, is intended to be cherished, to be confirmed in the
hopes of a speedy revolution. What does a certain class
of men care fur the prosperity or the distress of their fel-
low-citizens? What do they care, whether the landowner
thrives or is reduced to poverty—whether trade and manu-
factures flourish or are ruined? Impelled by lust of
money or of power, or by unbridled fanaticism, they dis-
dain no means to promote their criminal projects. Hap-
pily the deceitful mist, in which they have been too
long enveloped, gradually vanishes, and armed against
their lies as well as against their doctrines, the plain com-
mon sense of the majority will at length assert its right.
NUREMBLIRG, MAY 10.—Another division of 200 Aus-
trian artillery passed through Ratisbon last week, on their
way to Mayence.

The elections for England and Ireland are
now closed. Those for Scotland will be at an
end in a few days. The latest is that in Pem-
brokeshire, which has terminated in the return of
Sir J.Ownr. A scrutiny, however, is threatened,
and if certain circumstances, which we have
heard stated, prove correct, there is little doubt
that Sir JOHN will be unseated.

In another column will be found an extract
from the Courrier Francais, which deserves
high praise for its lofty tone of liberality, as
also for the sterling truth that pervades it. Most
cordially do we subscribe to the generous senti-
ments it contains ! " The people of England,"
says the intelligent writer, " sympathise with the
liberties of the human race. They have often
been reproached with egotism, but it has not
been sufficiently considered that the people are
in the hands of the Aristocracy, who are by na-
ture the most egotistical of mortals. It must be
admitted, that bad it not been for England, all
the nations of Europe, oppressed by the coali-
tion of despots, would be groaning under the
yoke of absolute power. The Press of England
has more than once given the alarm which has
saved the liberties of Europe. If France and
England would but cordially unite, and jointly
plant the standard of liberty on the shores
of despotism, in less than a year all Eu-
rope, from Cadiz to the Neva, would be free,
While our quasi-legitimate administrators, for-
getting the origin and promises of July, persecute
the Press, and deprive patriots of every employ-
ment, we turn our eyes to regenerated England,
and delight in seeing the subtle fallacies of the
Anti-Reformers wither away beneath the thun-
dering eloquence of the illustrious Chancellor
BROUGITANf. May he complete his good work'
We are aware that, in offering our vows for the
liberty of England, we are promoting the pro-
spects and power of our eternal rival, perhaps
our enemy ; but we were men before we were
citizens, and must regard as brothers all nations
to throw off the yoke of
who are struggling
despotism. There is a community of principles
and interests between us which they cannot re-
fuse to recognise. As long as the Constitu-
tionalists of France and England remain united,
the sacred name of liberty will not perish."

LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY).

COURT OF CHANCERY.

IN RE JARVIS.—BREACH OF PROFESSIONAL CONFIDENCE.
The LORD CHANCELLOR stated, that he had most pro-
perly had a letter sent to him, stating that some one in this
matter, which could only have been one of the solicitors,
had most improperly circulated a report, and a most errone-
ous one, of what had passed in private. The very object
of a private hearing was to prevent what passed there going
abroad ; and, than in the present instance there never was
a more complete misrepresentation of what any Judge had
ever said, than had been circulated of what he (the Lord
Chancellor) had said, and most injuriously to a most highly
respectable individual.

Sir E. Strootx had not seen the report.
The Loon CHANCELLOR observed that it was not in
the newspapers, but circulated *out town in hand-bills.
He mentioned it for the purpose of putting Sir Edward
Sngden on his guard to bring the subject before the Court.
The report thus improperly circulated was against his (Sir
Edward's) client, and, therefore, it could only have been
by the solicitor on the other side.
Sir EDWARD SCCDEN pledged himself to bring the
matter forward.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said that if such conduct
were to be permitted it would just have this effect, that,
whenever it was necessary hereafter to have a private
hearing, no one should be admitted but the Counsel on
each side. It was absurd to suppose that solicitors were
to be admitted to a private hearing, and that they should
be allowed to circulate a statement of their own of the
most perverted sort, as had been done in this ca,e.
Sir E. SUDDEN had known nothing of it until his Lord-
ship mentioned it, but lie should certainly not lose sight of
such highly reprehensible conduct.
The LORD CHANCELLOR would not hesitate at once to
visit it whenever it might be properly traced and brought
before bins. No one could ever be more misrepresented
and more wrongfully than lie had been by those band-bills,
and it was imperative that the Court should be protected.
Sir E. SUGDEN considered that nothing could be more
unjust. Ile was certain that nothing had been stated in
private by his Lordship that the most scrupulous individual
could have found a shade of fault with.

THE KING'S 1315TH -DAY.
This being the anniversary of the King's birth-day, the
learned Judges and King's Counsel appeared in, and con-
tinued to wear, their Court dresses.

VICE CHANCELL OR' S COURT.
This being his Majesty's birth-day, his Honour the
VICE-CHANCELLOR and the King's Counsel appeared in
their full Court dresses.

INJUNCTION,--ULLOCE V. BARBER, RUDD, AND OTHERS.
The plaintiffs in this case were wine-merchants of emi-
nence, who some time ago consigned a quantity of wine to
India by a ship called the Lady Flora, which was com-
manded by a gentleman of the name of Farren, for the
purpose of having it sold there, which was done ; but
considerable delay occurred in the remittal of the produce,
in consequence of its having been sent in a bill drawn by a
house which afterwards failed. Ultimately, however, tbe value
of the wines was remitted in another bill to Messrs.
Bather and Co., who were the agents and brokers of the
ship, who, having again gone abroad, left a written direc-
tion with them to divide all the money in their hands
among the creditors, including the plaintiffs. The other
defendants (the Messrs. Rudds) were general creditors of
Captain Farren, and had attached in the Lord Mayor's
Court all the funds in the bands of the defendant Barber,
as the general funds of Captain Farren. Under all these
circumstances,

Mr. KNiotr r applied this morning for an injunction to
restrain the defendant, Barber, from parting with the fund
in his possession, and also to restrain the Messrs. Rudd
from proceeding with the attachment in the Lord Mayor's
Court.

The VICE- CHANCELLOR granted the injunction, observ-
ing that the Court interfered with the proceedings in the
Lord Mayor's Court, upon the same principles as it did
with the Welch Courts.--Injunction granted.
The Court was occupied the whole morning with argu-
ments in the part-heard case of the Arigna Mining Com_
pany, and rose at an early hour to attend the Drawing.
room.
