The French Papers of Sunday will he found
ip another column, and contain, for the most
part, the preliminaries of the Coronation. An
accident of rather a serious nature occurred by
firing cannon so near the horses of the KING'S
carriage that they took fright, and were with
difficulty. quieted. The extracts we have given
bring accounts up to Saturday night.—German
Papers have also arrived, together with those of
Ihhia. Their contents are not of an interesting
'nature. An article dated Ragusa, on the subject
or Greece and the Porte, will be found in ano-
-Il►er
part of our Paper.

The Court ,

4a the House of Commons. Without entering
into the charges exhibited against this Court by

Jr. WILLIAMS, and -passing over the (very unsa-
tisfactory) explanation given by the SOLICITOR,
'GENERAL in the same manner, it is very plain that
after all the talking pro and con, no mortal man
now exists who is not thoroughly persuaded that
this Court is a nuisance, and its proceedings cal-
.culated to inflict the most deadly evils and mor-
tal stabs on the peace and property of the
'unlucky man who should be involved in
ignitable litigation. Such is the public
hnpression, such is the bearing of the public
'rind, and .the mystification of all the lawyers in
the World, all their assurances of its beneficial
°PPration and excellent constitution, all the pa-
negyrics that ever were or could he showered
On Judges, Chancellors, and Commissioners, will
ever succeed in removing this impression and

at this ,moment are suffering the rigours o"
poverty and imprisonment, victims of a Court
which ought to be the safeguard of pro-
perty, but whose defective constitution is
working such lamentable injustice. Wherever
the effects of a Chancery suit falls there ruin and
destruction proclaims its iron hand, there " de-
solation saddens all the green," there
half a tillage stints the smiling plain ;
No more the glassy brook reflects the day,
But choaked. with sedges works its weedy way ;
. Along the glades, a solitary guest,
The hollow sounding bittern guards its nest ;
Amidst the desart walks the lapwing flies,
And tires their echoes with unvaried cries ;
Sunk are the bowers in shapeless ruin all,
And the long grass.O'ertops the mould'ring wall—

We conclude, for the present, by asking three
questions, the answer to which will spew the de-
fectiveness of the constitution of the Court in the

clearest point of view, viz.:-
Ist. Where is the equity that requires one man to answer on
oath a statement not made on oath ?

2nd. Where is the equity that takes all. the statements of a
Bill (not on oath) for true, and denies credit to the statements of
an answer (which are on oath) in every instance where it is not
admitted by the plaintiff?
3d. Where is the equity that grants an injunction against
the property of an individual ex-parte, and thus places the
defendant at the mercy of the plaintiff, taking from him not
only is means of defence but his means of subsistence also ?
