French Papers to the 13th inst. with the Riolle
of Tuesday, reached us last night by express.
They contain intelligence from Constantinople
to the 13th of June, which states that Count
Guilleminot, the ,new French Ambassador, had
been received with all the honours due to the
Representative of a friendly Monarch. The In-
terpreter of the Porte had immediately repaired
to Mil hotel to compliment him, and he was to
have shortly audiences of the Grand Vizier and
the Reis Effendi, and to be presented to the Grand
Seignior. From the silence observed by the
Government with respect to the operations of the'
Turkish armament, it was Inferred, and no dou
with justice, that If some defeat hod not been sus.
tamed, at least nothing of importance had been
achieved. Indeed private reports continued to
Mate that Derwish Pacha had but 10,000 men
nt the Pass of Therrnopite, and that all his
ertillery bad fallen into the hands of the Greeks.
These Paper, also publiah letters froffi Madrid
to the behinning of the present month, which

of the; Holy Alliance would assemble in that cu.
pital to consider of the situation of Spin, the oc-
cupation of Cadiz, and the future destiny of tug
Balearic Werra*. " it, is not known," asy the let-
ters, " what part England would take on that oc.
aasion, and it seems to ba feared that she would not
approve, of the projects formed upon those par-
Cruise points try the other Powers." It is scrimp;
that any doubt should 1w entertained tespecting
the part which Eugland would take on such
occasion, since her Ministers have repeatedly
declared in Parliament, that she net only would
not, but that she had refused to atle.pd any Cith.
gress on, the subject of Spttni'ih affairs. The King
is said to have reiterated the expression of his

determination never to recognize the independ-
ence of any of his former posiessions in America.
It is added, that he had concluded a new loan
for 60 millions of francs with a Dutch House;
and that 10 millions were to be appropriated to
the fitting out of an armament against South
America!

[NEW TIMES.]
We received Sierra Leone Gazettes yesterday
to the middle of May, and priVite letters from
that Colony to the, oth. ult. They however
afford no additional information from Cape Coast.
The Acting Governor, the honourable Daniel
Molly Hamilton, was taking the most active
measures for the defence of the different Set-
tlements and Forts ; and on the 15th of May
issued a Proclamation permitting the importa-
tion of horses, cattle, and provisions, duty free,
until the Ist of November next. From this Gen-
tlernikn's long residence in the country and gene-
ral knowledge of its localities, the greatest con-
fidenco was entertaine&by the inhabitants of the
measures he was pursuing. To add .to,the gene-
ral feeling of regret for, the loss of so.eiccellent
an officer as their late Governor, .accounts had
just after:been brought out by the Maidstone
frigate of the melancholy fate 'of their late Naval
Commander In Chiefs Sir. George Collier, au
officer whoseexertions on that, station were duly
appreciated by the inhabitants, arid at a time
when they anticipated his again visiting the Coast.

Letters were received yesterday from Car-
. thagena, dated the '24th of May. From them
we learn, that notwithstanding the treachery and
desertion of so many: of the Peruvian leaders,
Bolivar was taking the most effectual measures
for repelling and subduing the. Royalists. It was
'remarked, with just feelings of pride hr these
letters) that no Colombian has been guilty of the
crime of joining the oppressors of his country. A
great number of the Colombians were slaughtered
at Callao, when it was delivered up tot the
:Royalists. We have no accounts how Torre
Tagle had been received by-ltis new associates,
nor what progress the dissensions .0.1 the Spa-
niards had made amongst themselves. It Is not irn-

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF KING'S .BENCH, JUYL 14.
TIM LINO V. WATSON AND BLISS.
This was an indictment against two of the inhabitants of the
parish of Bethnal Green for an assault on a person named
Mann.
The prosecution arose out of the disputes which have so long
agitated the above parish. After 'a long party conflict, which
ended in Mr. Britten's success and Mr. May's defeat, the
parties.met annually to celebrate the victory. In'August last
they had a dinner at the Mermaid, Hackney, exclusively for
the friends of Britten. The prosecutor and a person named
Berrenger went with a ticket to admit two. Berrenger gave
the ticket at the door and advanced in. He then looked round
for his companion, and found Bliss and Watson had turned
him outside the gate. The assault was proved. •
Mr. Bitorattard and Mr. C. PHILLIPS, as Counsel for the
defendants, addressed the Jury. According to the representa-
tion of these Learned Gentlemen, a crowd had assembled at the
gates of the gardens, with intention to force their way in to see
the fireworks: The constables, finding the pressure increase,
sent for Mr. Watson and Mr. Bliss, who acted as Stewards ;
and those persons, to preserve good order, pushed out Mann,
who was attempting to force hiseway through the door.
The LORD elitEr JUSTICLhad that they had no right to
refuse Mann admission, when the ticket for two was produed
by Berrenger.
The Jury, .under all the circumstances, found both the de.
fendants ai Ity:

plaintiff,. Elizabeth Irving, brought this action for one of the
most serious evils which could-hefal a young, woman. Both
parties were still young. • She Wait a young woman of the
highest character, which enabled her to move in a higher
sphere than her situation could have otherwise entitled her

ing with her mother. who carried on the business of poulterer,
&c. in VVallingford, Berks, in the highest credit. The -defen-
dant was a son of a gentleman farmer. He paid his addresses
to her with the utmost earnestness and assiduity. In 11118 he
came to town with her t.) be married, but she being under
age, and a license being therefore necessary, they delayed the
ceremony. In 1819 she had the small-pox, which only called
forth warmer expressions of a%ction from him. The conse-
tieences did not render her less attractive, and made no change
In his attentions. She came to this county, and set up in the
same business with her mother, at Twickenham. There he
visited her, and was on the eve of marriage, dresses, &c. being
bought; but his father-in-law now and his elder brother took
him away. His attentions were continued up to January, 1822,
when, under promise of marriage,ite triumphed over her virtue.
In November she was delivered of a child. The defendant then
neglected her, and bad since married another lady of greater
opulence than the plaintiff. In these circumstances the Jury
were called upon to give damages. Whatever objection could
be made by another party, it did not lie with the defendant to
found an objection on the success of his own promises,- and the
confidence she reposed in his vows. They would consider the
affliction of her mind, the reproaches of the world, and the ruin
of her prospects in life, all occasioned by the misconduct of
the defendant, and they would give such damages as the case

dicate lAis'.etturoxter than certain Jibe jous iinPutatiuns which
had been via upon it by the defendant. The libels.weral cert.

tained in two letters, ote.of which was written to a client of the
plaintiff.
Mr. Sergeant Pr Lt. observed, that as this acton Was brought
to vindicate the character of the plaintiff, the defendant was wil-
ling to acknowledge most publicly that the letters in question
were written in a moment of irritation, and that the imputa-
tions which they cast upon the plaintiff, were altogether un-
founded. His client was also ready to make any fit apology to
the plaintiff' for the use of the obnoxious expressions.
Mr. Serjeant VAnattax consulted with his client, and said
that he was ready, after what had passed, to take a verdict with
nominal damages, and such costs as were usually charged be-
tween attorney anti client.
Mr. Serjeant PELL consented to this proposal.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE thought that the plaintiff in
this case had acted very properly. His object had been to vin-
dicate his character; and the acknowledgment of the defendant
that the aspersions which he had cast upon it were unfounded
would answer that object much better even dial) obtaining the
heaviest damages.
The Jury then returned a verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages
One shilling.

SATCHELL V. LUCAS AND OTHERS.
This was an action against the Sheriffs of Middlesex, to re.
cover possession of goods which they had seized under an exe-
cution ; the person whose goods they were, having, as it was
alleged, previously transferred all property in them to the pre-
sent plaintiff. The plaintiff, James Satchell, was valet to Mr.
Warre, the Member for Taunton. His nephew, Thomas
Satchell, to whom the goods had belonged, was a butcher, re-
siding at Mill-hill. A. verdict, with 51. damages, had beat re-
covered against him, for shooting a dog, which he stated had
injured him in the neighbourhood, and he lost all his trade.
The execution was levied for the costs and damages in this ac-
tion. HO was called, however, to prove, that on the 30th of
May, previous to the execution, he conveyed all 'the property
to the plaintiff, his uncle, and that his uncle had at different
times lent him money, and supplied him with articles, such
as rope, choppers for killingoxen, &c.; he carrying on the
business for him, and receiving an allowance out of it of 00s.
per week.
Chief Justice Bxsv observed, that there was a positive sta-
tute, which declared, that although consideration was paid,.yet
if it was with the knowledge of, and intent to defeat, an execu-
tion, it was fraudulent and void.
Mr. Sergeant WILD, who conducted the plaintiff's case,
contended, that would not touch this case.

Bevan S'atchell's lather-in-law, raid he was present on the
30th May, when the deeds of conveyance were executed. After
that time the property became the plaintiff's. lie himself had
lent Thomas Satchell, who was distressed, money to carry on
the business; but he had lost all his books and accounts con-
cerning?.

Mr. Sergeant Vanostale began to address the Jury on the
part of the defendant. His Learned Friend, Mr. Sergeant
Pell, sitting between himself and his Learned Brother Wild,
had said that he sat between the laughing and crying philo-
sophers. He (Mr. Sergeant Vaughtut t hoped the character of
the langhing philosopher applied to him, for certainly It was
more pleasant to go through the world with a smiling than a
weeping countenance. He was not surprised, however, that his
Learned Brother Wild , had had his " sweet milk of human
nature" soured this hot weather ; for of all the cases which had
ever come before a' Court, this was the most suspicious.—
From his experience in Courts, lie always began to suspect
fraud when he.saw. that two or three witnesses and the plaintiff
were relations. Fhis case smelt as strong of fiatul as' any
of the meat in Satehell the butcher's shop; it was morethan
flyblown ; it was actually alive with fraud. He-observed upon
the number of persons who had been made defendants in this
action. The complainants Were not content with the Sheriffs
and Sheriff's officers, but they had dragged in the poor innocent
attorney as a victim to be sacrificed on the altar of this butcher.
The Learned Serjeant was proceeding to argue on the trick
of the pleintiffsupplying his nephew with a few goods, when
he was stopped by the Chief Justice, who said that, without
going further, , he would take the opinion of the Jury.
Mr. Serjeant WILD submitted, before that was done, that
thislissignment was good as between James • and Thomas Sat.
shell; and if it were good as between them, embody could dis-
pute but the plaintiff had.a legal right of action.
Mr. Serjeant Van offaWobserved-that the conveyance was on
the,3oth May, the first day-of the Term-after the verdict against
Thomas Satchel!, on which day it was known judgment would
be entered up.
Chief Justice BEST—Gentlemen of the Jury, do you think.
there has been an open and tsetorioue-tranefer of this property;
do you believe, after having heard the evidence, that dila is a
fair conveyance, and a fair and open delivery of posaession, or
is the whole a fraud ? if you think. it is, you will find for
the defendant.
Mr. Sergeant WILD submitted that the Learned Judge was
not warranted in puting that question. Isbell, said the Learned
Sergeant, tender a-bill of exceptions, because the question is not
whether it is a fraud.
Cti-txr JUST rcx—Write down your bill of exceptions now,
that Inlay understand it.
The Jury here said--We all agree that it is an attempt to
defraud.
CHIEF JUST will venture to say there Is not &human
being present who lies-not thought so for the last three hours.
• illy: Sergeant WILD read his bill of exceptions, which was as
-follows :—That upon the evidence in the cause it is not compe-
tent to dispute the plaintiff's property, and that as between the
parties • upon this record, and upon the present evidence, the
plaintiff has established a right to the property, and -the defend-
ants have given no evidence.

CHIEF -JUSTICE---I will put no such question upon this
record, because Lhave asked the Jury do they think possession

GREEK LOAN.
_ _ DE W!TZ iv. HENDRICK.

Mr. Serjeant PELL stated the -plaintiff's case to the Jury,
and observed, that his client had-been compelled to bring his
action for the recovery of papers that were of the greatest. con-
sequence to him, which had got into the defendant's hands, and
which he had refused-to give up. • The plaintiff; General De'
Wits, had been deputed on the part of the Greeks to raise a
loan, and he had been induced by the representations of Mr..
Cointesse, whose name was known to some of the Jury in con-
sequence of trial of yesterday, to apply.t6 the defendant to
raise a sum of money far that purpose, and he bad placed in
his hands a bond and certain scrip receipts, which the defendant
refused to deliver up till his bill of expences for the negociation
of the loan were paid. The defendant had stated that a bill of
1631. was due. to,him, which: amount!wak tendered to him on
condition that he would deliver up the documents in qtrestion.
On that sum' being offered; Hendrick set up a claim ihr-com-
mission of 5001. Hendrick the .stock-jobber.' claimed 5301. for
doing aothirw for he hack literally done nothing to procure the
loan that he had promised to do.

to raise money by way of loan for the 'plaintiff; the papers de-
posited in Hendrick's hands by De Witz.were scrip receiptst.
with stamps, value 271., and a notarial copy of the power of
attorney, andi a bond belonging to Mr. Comptesse. The ne-
gociation took place in Nay, ic2a; I went to Hendrick with
Comptesse to procure back the documents, and to pay him his
hill; .we waited nearly three hours before we saw the defend"
ant; when we did see him the plaintiff claimed his papers, but
he said lie should give up nothing till his bill was paid.
Comptesse proposed his acceptance, which defendant refuted,
saying he would have his money. Having between 3001. and
4001. in my pocket, I took it out, and said I would pay him
that or any other demand against the General. Defendant then
said that he required a commission ; ?upon which De Wits
said, " Commission ! you have done nothing to justify your
receiving commission, and reproached hint for not carrying
the loan he required to the Stock Exchange. The defendant
said, as no Scrip had been paid he could not carry it to the
Stock Exchange; if he did he should be liable to be expelled.
Cross-examined by Sergeant WILDE—The defendant said
the bond had been deposited with him for the expencee that he
might incur; but he did not say that the other papers were.
I have talked to General De Wits respecting the powerof at-
torney pending the action. I have a great deal of business with
the General for causes. Hendrick never said that he could not
raise the money because the boud.wss,signed in London, and
not in Greece. _

Mr. Sergeant Wsr.DE addressed the Jury on thepart of the
defendant' and called
George Clarke—l am clerk to defendant, who was etnplorla-
,
by General De Witz to negociate a Greek Loan. He comPtat"
various papers on the subject which the plaintiff read. 'En-:
gravings were procured, advertieements inserted in the Mine
papers, and brokers were em .yed.who were entitled to a com-
mission. I remember Mr. being at our counting.houeei
and the next day I went to the p. intiff's house, and presented
a copy of the account; and I said that I had the papers anti
power of attorney with r, which I offered to deliver up ; but'
he said he would not mdve them without Comtesse's Spanish
Bond was delivered up. Mr. Hendrick was employed. from
November to May in this transaction.
Cross.examined by Mr. Sergeant have been nine
months in Hendricks employ ; Ido not know whether Samp-
son's brockerage of 12!. 10s. was paid, or Sangers 21. ;I
know 61. 6*. was paid to the John Bull newspaper for mires.
tisernents.

Re-examined—The reason the Loan was not elFeeted, arose
from the character of the Greek Deputies. A paper was posted,
at the Stock Exchange, guarding the public from advancing
money to General Count de NVitz, he having no authorityto
negociate a loan from the Greek Government. Mr. Hendrick,
had a communication with the Greek Committee on the sub•
ject, who recommended him to have nothing to do with the
Loan.

Mr. Sampson sworn three weeks ago I had a con*
versation with Me.. - about the commission, and he
told me as the Loan' ailed, he should be that money ous
of pocket if he paid the commission. '
Samuel Josephs proved the execution of the warrant of atter+
ney by Ex Arch, Johannicus. It was executed in King-streett
Finsbury-square.
Mr. serjeant PE LL in reply said, the simple fact of the care
was, whether the defcndar.t' had a right to hold the docunrenut
or not. lie contended, that if the documents were of no value
the defendant had not a right to retain them ; and the fact of
his retaining them ;hewed that they were by the defendant con,
sidered of value.

The Ctuir---jtiaTielt left it to the Jury to say whether they
considered this siege' transaction recognised by the Greek Goren,
went ; anti he doubted even if such recognition of it would render
it a legal proceeding ; but as that question had not been raised he
would not trouble the Jury with his opinion. But he asked diti
Jury if they were satisfied of the fairness of this transaction.-r-
He confessed that to him it appeared to have been so loosely
got up, without giving_the Court en opportunity of ,judgindOit
it, that it would be difficult to fix any damage beyond the 271..
the value of the stamps, and it was for them to say ifqiuti
were due.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JULY 14.
BMITIE V. HOOPER

This was an action brought by Lieut. Smith, ottbe 14th
Light Dragoons, against the defendant, a cabinet.nraket: in
Frome' for illegally detaining a trunk, containing his regi-
mentals, &c. In March last the regiment was stationed. at
Frome, and desirous of getting lodgings in a private house ha
agreed with the defendant for some apartments. lie had taloa
a lady into his lodgings on the second night, which caused' &
dispute, and the plaintiff left the apartments, at the urns time
offering a week's rent, but the defendant refused to take low
than a month's rent, and detained the trunk in question. Since
the action was commenced the defendant had delivered up the
goods—he therefore only sought for nominal damages, so as to
carry costs.
Richard llozely, the plaintiff's servant, proved that the
plaintiff took the apartments In question; on the first night he
dept . there alone, but on the second night took a lady home
with him : on the following morning the lady went away, and
Mr. Hooper and 31r. Smith had some words ; Mr. Sarith.lefi
the lodgings, and ordered the witness to take away the goods,
Anti to pay one week's rent. Mr. Hooper refused to take la*
than a month's rent, and refused also to allow Mr. Smith Kt
stay there any longer. The trunk was detained ahout seven
weeks, and then sent to Mr. Smith's quarters.
Cross-examined—The lady was not present when the apart.
menta were taken; Mr. Smith did not say that he was going i•
take a prostitute to the lodgings; the quarrel was in cense..
quenee of her being there.
Mr. ATKINSON addressed the Jury for the defendant, 04
said, that they could not, as fathers, give the plaintiff a vet=
diet for having been turned out of the house of a respectahl*
tradesman, who, having a family of his own, naturally 'felt
indignant that he had let his lodgings to a person; who took
prostitute with him to disgrace his house.

The Lont) CRIEr BATON said, however wrong the 'plain:.
tiff had acted, still he bad offered to go back to the lodging. by
himself, and the reftiaal of the defendant to receive him, cer-
tainly did not entitle him to retain the goods. "
The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages One
Farthing.

A gentleman, presenting a young lady, to
mother, said, " Madam, this is Miss F:, and she
is not. so great a fool as she looks to be." " There,
Madam," said the young lady, liesithellifferenee
between your son and me."

A young Curate being once asked how he
came to enter the Church, pertly answered,-

may well be," replied a gentleman present, "'for
I have often read that the Lord had once need of
