• Saturday the -adjont ned,Meeing for the further
examination of the above 'Bankrupts took place.
Mr. Tit sox, Clerk to the Cominission, called the
attention of the Court to some insinuations which
itiid gone forth reflecting on the character of Lord-
Motu*, in'consequence of what hall been-mentioned
at the last meeting, relative to a debt of 40001. due
by his Lordship to We Bankrupts; and Which was
rumoured to have arisen from some funding specula-
tions—ia rumour as false as. it was ituprobabld—Land
'he now stated, ore the part of that Noble Lord, chat
the debt was long :since paid by his LordshiP's Soli-
citor, who was now ready to attest the fact.
Counsellor Mosti4ovi admitted, that he did, in
portitianCe of his duty, at tholast meeting, matte some
inquiry on the subject now in question, but declared
that not a, ward or observation ever passed his lips,
reflecting in any way on that Noble Lard, nor could
he conceive how such a rumour atilt have taken
ttottots were then delivered in, as made
out since the last meeting.---Mr. Bish expressed a
desire to his Counsel, Mr. Cullen, that the lottery
accounts should be lain on the Table. Mr. Ilaithby
objected, until Mr. Bish should be proved a creditor.
Mr. Cullen replied in support-of Mr. Biiih's right to
see the accounts. The Commissioners decided in fa-
vour of Mr. Bish's desire.

A long examination of Mr. Walsh by Mr. CONST
t!ien followed, respelling the first and recond Lot-
teries, and his answers were prompt and
The only part for winch hesaid he could notelearly
account respeeted the number of tickets *tilt to
his agent in Ireland, to worn, however, he had re,
peatedly written, but • could never receive any. satis-
factory answer. Much further interrogation took
place, in order that 'Mr. Walsh should account from
what fund;he bad drawn the sum of 68,0001. which -
it appeared he. had paid for tickets bout lit in from
the subscribers, and with. what % iew it was that
he had purchased those tickets Linar the third da%'s
drawing to which his answers.purpotted, that the
funds were cash and drafts that came into the hands
of the firm in the course of. business, and the object
to meet a speculation in the purchase of produces,
and to benefit the Lottery cohtraet. These were the -
onlypert of the proceedings we,conceive material fur
detail; and it was finally agreed,' that the acc'unts
should be referied fur examination to. Ws:4ra.
Champney, Jackson, and Galled ;' alter which. the
meeting adjourned to §aturdry, dam. t 1, when the
Bankrupts are to pass their final examination.

A letter from tiainburgh, dated Dec. to, says,
Oor friend made his appearance, here, very
unexpectedly, two days ago. You are alieady
prised that he went some months ago to St. Peters-
burgh, and wilt, I should ,suppo,e, be not a little
surprised when you learn the motives of his journey
to that city. The object of his mission was .tally
to, convey letters from the English Government to
Nest LTZuVE, CA x 'ottis v, STROGoNorP, etc, and
to the Emperor himielf, previous to the interview
at ErfUrtli. had an audience with the Em-
peror, with whom he was closeted halt an hour,
when his Majesty expressed-in the strongest terms
his fixed determination " not to embroil himself
tre,,yain with the, French :" these Were his words.—
Tow. after affair -.at. Ertintli,,.* you may rely, r • has
fir:oly established hint in-this' resolution. Aft pro-
bability is therefore now done away of coming to
arty friendly arrangement with Russia, and ybu must
take your'" intaiiUrcii. accordingly."
&tore Lord HoLIAND left Corunna for Portugal,

country, winch were -received by the last. DUI. We
understand that his Lordship speaks with confidence
do to the final success of the Spaniaids, though he
thinks that their struggle will be long and arduous.
