CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

Though the freedom of the Peninsula be dear
to English Ten, yet the restoration of the independence and glory
of Ancient Greece possesses also their most constant atten-
tion. The train which the magnanimous ALEXANDER has laid
for the subjugation of the Turkish Empire is perfectly under-
stood, and the success of his policy in Persia is equally
known. Every thing necessary for the equipment of the Persian
army, all accoutrements, and implements for soldiers, have
been furnished by. Russia, and a few articles only, such as green
cloth, have been ordered from England because, Russia did not
produce them. To extend the Russian Empire along the shores
of the Levant, and to become the real C.ESAR of Europe, are
the true objects of this Emperor of Muse OVY, and onlyßritish
neutrality, and the employment of the resources of France
against the liberties of Spain, are wanting for the accomplish.
ment of designs hostile to the civilization and happiness of the
human species. In the changed policy of British diplomacy,
however, some hopes may be entertained that Russian con-
quests will not •be 'extended in Western Turkey. Mr. CAN NI NG
has a real harvest of glory before him ; for by a proper use of
the immense power which he at preeent wields, he may create
an Empire which will be the natural ally of the British Nation,
and will bean eternal. bar to the extension of the Russian power
over that fairest portion of the globe. The success of the pre-
sent Continental league, against the liberties of mankind, every
merchant thinks must be followed by prohibitions and anti-
commercial regulations against the commerce of England with
the Continental nations of Europe, and hence every effort on
the part of the British GoVernment to support the Peninsula
against the outrageous claims of the Holy Alliance, and to
snatch the country of the ancient Greeks from the grasp and
ambition of Russia, will be hailed in the City as actions abso-
lutely necessary for the security of their property, and for the
protection of the liberties of Englishmen.
In•the City this day even rumour has lost her influence, for
it is expected that some time must pass before the Legitimates
make up their minds to actions which may involve them in ut-
ter ruin. The Consols opened at 80l B, and advanced to 804 ;
their lowest quotation was 801, and the closing price 803. It
was reported that the Duke of WELLINGTON had arrived at
Paris, where he was expected to remain for some days, and to
endeavour to enforce the principles of England on the Ultra
Ancient Noble Ministers of France. It was even supposed
that he would proceed to Madrid should he fail at Paris, for it
is admitted on all hands that Mr. CANNING, fearing not war,
will yet do all in his power to support the freedom of nations
by pacific measures.
The French Rentes in Paris were on Monday 88. 45. at the
closing of the market. ,During one period of that day. they were
88. 90. but fell afterwards. They are, however, a less certain
criterion of publiC feeling than our own stocks. Purchases of
them were made here a week ago at 85, and orders were trans-
mitted at the-same time to-sell equal sums at Paris, as a profit
of two per cent. arose from the difference in their value betwixt
the two capitals. Still, however, the French sinking fund had
then the power, by its operations, to prevent any decline. A
good deal of business was again done in Spanish, Neapolitan
Bonds, and Prussian Scrip ; the uncertainty, however, which
continues to hangover the fate of nations, rendered the value
of every description of European Public Securities lower at the
closing of the market.
The Underwriters at Lloyd's were greatly astonished this
morning, by a large policy of insurance which was effected
on the property of the Marquis of LONDONDERRY from
Trieste to Britain.
A Ballot this day also took place, to supply the vacancies of
Messrs. INNES, BARNES, and JAMIESON, who go out of the
direction of Lloyd's by rotation. The Candidates were—
'Mr. .T. Levy - 466 Mr. Hathaway - 243

And the three highest on the poll were declared duly elected.

lIIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY, DEC. 11.

IMPORTANT DECISION UNDER THE REVENUE AND NA-
VIGATION ACTS.
The facts upon whieh the present proceedings have been
founded were stated in THE SUN of the 2.oth of November.—
Thecondemnation of the cargo in the Court below took place
under the Navigation
,and other Revenue Acts, the libel
charging that certain goods had been imported from Halifax
into Newfoundland, in a British bottom indeed (according to
the exigency of those statutes), but by an alien (by birth),
though his natural character was open to certain exceptions,
owing to a long residence in a British settlement, and a variety
of other acts.

Lord'STowELL gave judgment to-day. The seizure in this
case was made of a cargo on board a vessel coming into St.
John's, in the island of Newfoundland, in the month of April,
1821. That cargo consisted of various descriptions of provisions
brought from Halifax, in Nova Scotia. These were libelled in
the Court below as having been imported by aliens and foreign.
era not entitled by law to exercise the trade or profession of
" merchants or factors" in Newfoundland, and in violation of
several enactments therein recapitulated, some of which had not
i the slightest application to the case, but were mostly. intro-
duced into such libels, either as mere expletives, or to give the
seizor a chance of so catching at something that might avail him.
The statute that really applied to the case was the famous Nevi-
, gation Act, as it was called, of Charles 11., c. 18.; and this di-
rectly forbade such importations by aliens, while it entitled all
factors in the plantations to exercise'the trade or occupation of
merchants. The other statute asserted to apply to this case was
the 28th Gen. 111., c. 6., which in sec. 12 and 13, provided that
no commodities should be imported into Newfoundland from
the United States of America except by British subjects and in
British vessels. The claims set up in this case were in different
sets : one of them was for 426 bags of flour and 200 half bags
of bread, the property of a Sir. Milwich, described as formerly
of St. John's, in Newfoundland, but presently of Boston, in the
United States : another claim was for 251 bags, on behalf of
Messrs. Reynolds and Co., of Halifax. Besides these, there
were other claims, which had either been referred to other juris-
dictions, or did not merit present inquiry. Now no objection had
been started as to the ownership of that part of the cargo which
Was claimed by Messrs. Reynolds and Co., British merchants of
Halifax, and that part which was claimed by Sir. Milwich; was
formally and expressly admitted by the seizor, as being the pro-
perty:of that Gentleman. Any objection on these accounts, or
on account of any supposed illegality in the original importa-
tion of the goods into Halifax, from whence they had been
shipped for the present voyage, if now made, would come too
late. These matters, therefore, being dismissed, the' case re-
mained, subject to two other questions; one of them extend-
ing to the whole property found on board, (to the goods of
Reynolds and Company, and of Milwich,) and the other to
that portion which was claimed by Mr. Al ilwich only. The first
of these questions arose upon this fact—namely, that a person of
the name of Chevers, of an American character, was charged
to have been employed on board the Matchless as a factor for
the sale and transport of these goods such fact being of course
no violation of that navigation law which prohibited any alien in
Newfoundland from exercising the trade of " a merchant
or factor." It had been contended that Chevers was not an
American. It should rather have been argued that he ought
not to be considered as an American ; for though he had done
much to clothe himself with a British character, having resided
in Newfoundland from 1808 to 1820; having served in British
military corps in that island ; having taken the oaths of alle-
giance and fidelity to his late Britannic Majesty, and to no
other potentate whatever ; and having only quitted the island
in consequence of insolvency in the mercantile concerns that he
had there carried on ; yet, inasmuch as he had been born an
American subject, and was now resident at Boston for the pur-
pose of pursuing his business, this Court thought it had been
rightly- decided that the American character of Chevers had re-
turned upon him, and that he must be considered to all legal
purposes as really an American. The next question then was,
whether Chevers was to be considered in this business as
acting in the capacity of a factor ? The Court had looked
at several authorities with the view of discovering, if pos-
sible, the legal and original definition of the word factor."
It was not a term of the civil law; for "factor" no where
occurred in the language even in which that compilation had
been transmitted to us. It seemed to be of French origin ; and
a derivative from "filetClii.." In its original application, and
indeed in common parlance, this was a term of great extent,
implying any agent or mandatory whatever. In those northern
districts of thiS island, which had (as it was well known) anciently
a very great and frequent communication with France, it was
still used with a great variety of application, and very profusely.
It also appeared to have very often a reference to residence in
foreign countries ; whence our word " factory," signifying a
combination of persons residing somewhere abroad, for the sale
of commodities imported thither from their native country._
However much this notion of an implied foreign. residence
would seem to have been adopted by Postlethwaite, (otherwise
very high authority upon most subjects of mercantile concern-
ment,) the Court was of opinion that it was by no means uni-
versally correct; for every day's experience would shoW, that
factors might he resident, not only in the same country with
that of the produce or manufacture, but even in the same
town. Factors, in truth, might be defined as agents, selling
or buying rather upon a certain rate of commission, payable
by the owners of the goods committed to their management,
than as principals buying or selling for their own
.direct profit.
This was the most probable definition intended by the Naviga-
tion Acts. His Lordship then proceeding to examine the na-
ture of Mr. Chevers's functions, decided them to be those of a
supercargo, and not of a factor • and that only the consignee to
whose care these goods, taken from the stores of a British mer-
chant at Halifax, were addressed, could not be said to be the
importer. Besides, with the goods of Messrs. Reynolds and Co.
Chevers had no connexion nor concern—not even as supercargo :
and this Court, therefore, was under the necessity of reversing
that part of the sentence pronounced by the Court below, which
had condemned their property. But this would not affect the
goods of Mr. Milwich, of Boston ; with respect to which Chevers
did appear to have been actually connected—as a factor at least,
if not as an importer. The Learned Judge went oh to describe the
principles upon which, even in respect of this latter prOperty,
Chevers was no to be considered as a factor, and which left
Mr. Milwich's claim, therefore, so far free from imputation.—
But that gentleman's title had been attacked on graver and
stronger grounds—on grounds which affected his character as an
American citizen, procuring goods owned by himself to be thus
imported into Newfbundland. His Lordship having stated the
circumstances under which the national character of Mil-
wich appeared before the Court, adverting to an usage which
the general polity of commercial nations had in very many
instances recognized, and the propriety of which had been
sanctioned by high authority—namely, that where a merchant,
expatriating himself from his native- country, settled in a foreign
kingdom, and there, in the pursuit of trade, employed a portion
of its population, paid a proportion of its imposts and taxes,
and circulated a proportion of his capital, he was rather to be
considered as a merchant of that foreign kingdom than of the
state from which lie had so voluntarily expatriated himself._
In this spirit the statute 14 and 15 Henry VIII., c. 4. had
been enacted ; for it went to levy the same contribUtions on
English subjects so circumstanced as was levied on aliens
resident in England. (Our limits preclude us front at.
tempting to give even a sketch of the remaining features
of this elaborate sentence,. but his Lordship inclined to hold
that, with reference to the statutes of navigation and reve-
nue, the character of Mr. Milwich must be pronounced to be
American ; and in illUstration, both of the principle of com-
mercial polity to which we have just alluded, and of the
contradictory nature oflegal authorities on the subject, he quoted
several dicta of Lord Alvanley, and Lord Kenyon ;. and the
case of " Wilson. sr. Marriot," in which it was hid down
that a British subject resident in the United States of
America was, in respect of trading in the East Indies, liberated
from the restraints which the-law imposed on British merchants
resident in Britain.) The Court felt itself. .warranted in say-
ing that as to the present transaction Mr. Milwich must be
considered as an American merchant ;. what an American
merchant might lawfully do, he also might lawfully do ;
but no more. There then remained but one question to be an-
swered before deciding the whole of the clise in respect of Mr. ,
Milwich's claim ; and it was this—whether the importing into
Newfoundland did or did not offend against the prohibitory
statute which regarded the trade of Newfoundland ? • Could he
export lawfully such a cargo as this, first to Halifax, (at which I
port the Matchless took in Messrs. Reynolds and Co.'s goods),
and subsequently to Newfoundland, under the law as it at pre-
sent existed and operated ? The onus of proof on this matter
was certainly shifted on the prosecutor. His Lordship having
commented on the general history of our colonial policy, as it
was termed, and pointed out the great difficulty under which
the framers of such a system of laws must at all times neces-
sarily labour, from the impossibility of providing for an im-
mense number of contingent cases, that it was hardly in the
nature of things should be anticipated, expressed his willing-
ness, before proceeding to a final adjudication of Mr. Mil-
wich's claim, to hear the Counsel on the question of Milwich's
competency, in the teeth of the Newfoundland clause of the Na-
vigation Act, to import into St. John's directly from America.
The KING'S ADVOCATE and Dr. LUSIIINGTON obtained
leave to be heard on a future day.
The COURT expressed its hope, that in the new system of
colonial laws which a recent statute was intended to revise and
consolidate, some favourable exceptions might be inserted in
favour of. Newfoundland, as the island produced but little for
its. own subsistence, and as even that produce was of a preca-
rious nature.

Yntahle, that, like the semi-official Papers in
England, neither of them has been authorized
to
Make any cominunications whatever to the
l'abli.;,but that, on, the contrary, the porten-
tOus aspects which they have assumed, (‘ perplex-
ing stockjobbers - with fear of change," really in-
dicate•nothing more than the private opinions and
private wishes of their Editors, and serve only to
prove• that thatmust be a very doubtful policy
''?llich•is contemplated by. the Government of
France, when one half of its friends and sup-
Porters join with its enemies in predicting ruin or
disaster as the consequence of its adoption.

PARIS, DEC. 9.—Before mass the king gave a
Particular atuiienCe to the Saxon AMbassador.

'Lord Wellington arrived to-day in this capital
at a quarter before four o'clock in the afternoon ;
ilealighted at the English Ambassador's.

Letters from Constantinople announce that the
Grand Vizier and the Muphti have been deposed,
and Haleb Effendi has.been exiled.

They write from Toulouse, Dec. 4, the Royal-
-14, General Laguna was gOing to Navarre Gaden.
The Regency arrived here Sunday last; we also
have in our town Don Fernando Alvarez, superior
°Eficer of the Army of the Faith.
For some time past the passing of couriers has
been very active between Paris and the head-
quarters of the Army of Observation. On the
Other side, they have established, on the road
from Toulouse to the Spanish frontiers, pickets
°f cavalry charged with carrying important
dispatches.

FRONTIERS OF SPAIN, DEC. I.—The Regency
or Spain was yesterday at Saillagonse, a canton
°n the French frontiers between Puycerda and
40unt Louis. The Baron d'EaoLEs arrived on
Friday at Seldon on the mountains, and conti-
Ned his march with his troops without stopping,
41.10 made a long march in the snow. On Satur-
day he entered Spain by Paillas ; it appears his
Object is to harrass MINA in his rear, and he is
forming his troops into Guerillas. The Army of
the Faith has experienced great desertions. The
garrison of Urgel is numerous and true to the
It:sto, and has provisions for one year. The divi-
/10n of GUERGINT, of the Army of the Faith of
Navarre, passed the Ebro, and penetrated into
the county of Riossa.
They write from Tarragona that the troops of
41NA. have assassinated fifty Monks and Priests.
They write from Guipuscoa, Nov. 29, that a con-
voy has passed there with the money of the loans
for the Cortes ; and to protect this convoy Ton-
/ttios united all his forces, which consisted of
6,000 men.
PERPIGNAN, DEC. I.—The Regency of Spain
$t off the 28th Nov. at 11 o'clock at night, from
Llivia for Estavac, after an affair which took
Place before Puycerda. A great number of
superior officers of the Regency have set off for
the interior. The Constitutionalists have pursued
the Army of the Faith to the extreme of the
frontiers. All the French troops who
,were at
erdagne took their arms yesterday morning, and
let off for the lines with four pieces of cannon.
VIENNA, Nov. 27.—Baron ROTHSCHILD has
added. to his coat of arms the following

Spanish Papers arrived this morning, which
entain the following articles
" I RUN, DEC. 2.—A Spanish Cabinet Messenger
11)Irn the Duke of San Lorenzo, our Ambassador
at Paris, has just passed through, and is supposed
12 have brought pacific news ; he had orders to
make all speed, and ample authority to de-
mand whatever escort should be necessary.
"ri the 28th General Torrijos commenced his ope-
Ztions with 6,000 men :—A column of 300 had
een detached towards Bilboa ; one of 800 to
reinforce the Pastor, as he is called ; a third of
4)200 proceeds along the banks of the Ebro,
\thile the General with the fourth, of above
3~000
men, including 400 cavalry, went to Pain.
Aeluna.
" BAYONNE, DEC. 2.—Our commerce is at a
.t,tan, because the merchants have suspended
eird business with Spain for fear of a war.—'We
have letters from Saragossa, of the 25th ult. stat-
g the entrance of Mina's troops into the town of
rgel, the inhabitants of which sent a deputation
to implore his protection. Ramagosa occupied
the
fort with about 500 men, but from the pre-
Pltrations making by the Crusade General, it was
a
PPPosed it would soon be taken."

we were yesterday prevented, by motives of
l'esPect and feelings of delicacy toward the judi-
e?al character, from animadverting on the charge
delivered by Mr. Baron GRAN AM to the Grand
fury, on the commencement of the New Home
Ciceu t- at Hertford. Our Readers will recol-

lect that when this measure was resolved on,
during the last Session of Parliament, we point-
ed out that it would operate as a severe and op-
pressive addition to the already arduous labours
of the Learned Judges, and that, if after an ex-
experiment a third General Goal Delivery
should be found a practicable and necessary
proceeding for the due administration of public
justice, some plan should be devised for relieving
the present Judges from the overwhelming toil
which its adoption might entail upon them. We
cannot, therefore, be surprised that Mr. Baron
GRAHAM should complain of the weight and
fatigue to which he felt himself subjected by the
discharge of a new and extraordinary duty, if
he thought that the burthen of performing it was
to be permanently imposed upon him and his
Brother Judges. The present Assize, however,
is, as we have stated, nothing more than an ex-
periment, and ought not to have been regarded
by the Learned Baron more unfavourably than
any other occasional and extraordinary Com-
mission, for the trial of offences, which the Judges
have always cheerfully executed whenever it
was required by the unhappy circumstances
of the country. If the New Circuit Le rendered
permanent, Government will of course consider
in what manner its duties are to be permanently
fulfilled ; and there can be no doubt whatever,
that if the Judges make any representation of

their inability to sustain the additional load,
some measures, (perhaps that of increasing the
number of Learned Persons appointed to the
Bench), will be devised for their relief.—
But although the personal complaint of Mr.
Baron GRAHAM might be premature, and
indiscreet, and even addressed improperly to the
Grand Jury instead of Government, it was, upon
the whole, especially considering his advanced age
and infirmity, nothing more than a well-founded
representation .of his own personal inconvenience,
and therefore justifiable. It is with pain that we
admit that an equal apology cannot be offered for
the sentiments and feelings which he assumed
and stated as those of the Gentry and Yeomanry
called to attend as Grand and Petit Jurors. We
are quite satisfied that these parties would not
shrink from the performance of so imperious a
duty as that required from them for the due dis-
charge of the laws, even if the inconvenience to
themselves should be greater than that of eating
their Christmas plum puddings and minced pies
at the Assize Towns, instead of at their own
homes !

Captain SOLLEM-Vsl arrived yesterday from
Bordeaux, and is the bearer of dispatches from
