'The only arrival this morning is from the. Swan River, hat a-
yet we have not seen any private letters from that quarter.' ft;
the express from Paris an outline is given of the declaration of
Marshal Soult in his speech relating to Belgium, stating that
although the Dutch should evacuate
.the Belgic territory the
French would not, until assured ag onst a recurrence of the
aggression. Our Stock Exchange gentlemen have already the
answer of Austria, Prussia, and Russia, to this declaration, which
certainly has travelled rapidly, that the three above Powers are
determined that the French shall evacuate Belgium; this har
caused our Funds to be heavy.

the ensuing Piromition will be on a scale c
with his 111.s.TEs•rv's, well-known paternal regard for that
popular branch of the national service. According to
some reports, the Vice-Admirals, down to Sir HENRY

further and stop only at Sir R. CecwAr.
Tho Qame Laws Bill (the CuANcELLon
ExcifsQuaa's) as amended, is reprinted. The preamble
enumerates the titles of twenty-eight Acts passed on this
fruitful subject of legislation. The first is that of IS,tt
RICHARD 11., and it relates " tc, persons as shall
not have or seep any greyhound, hound, or: other dog, to
hunt, and shill' not use fryits, keys, hare pipes, cords, or
other engines to take or destroy hares, conies, or other
gentlemen's game."
COURT OF CHANCERY.—On Egtylay the
last appeal in the ;is; for Trinity tertil'iwari in the paper
and disposed' of. Lord BRAWOHA3I has thus accomplished
what no Chancellor has been able to effect since the days
of Sir THOMAS Moan. No Chancellor ever yet despatched
in the two hest years of his Chancellorship, so !ruck
bosine's as Lord BROUGHAM h got throiah siacelho

that 'his judgments have Met' with the approbation of
thi suitors and the profession, as not more than one has
been sppeah-d from, which would hardly have been the
ease bad his decisions not Oren satisfaction, in truth;
there are not wanting Law Lords in the fiOnso of Peers
WhQ would bet glad etiough Or have 'an opportunity of re-
versing au erroneous decree of Lord BROUGHAM. Those
aequainted with the history of the Court well know that
there was no lack of appeals from the orders of L 074

with a judgment of Lord BROUGHAM, than Lord HARD-
