idonstrous than any proceeding of the mostdespotic
Government of the Contineilt, and not to be cre-
dited of the country in which the language of
ADAM SMITH is spoken, and in which his books
are considered to be authority.

The Paris journals of Wcdncsday bring the

!tighly important intelligence that the SULTAN,

yielding to the solicitation of the Four Powers has
revoked the deposition of MEHEmET Am, and
;;I anted to him the hereditary Government of
Egypt. " A Courier," says the Presse of Wed-
nesday, " who left Constantinople on the 20th, has
brought, on the 311 of January, to Prince METTER-
Nrc if, the news of a formal revocation by the Portc
of the decheance of the Viceroy of EGYPT." And
in Galignani's Messenger of the same date it is
stated that a correspondent, writing from Vienne
on the 4th inst., says—" The night before last a
courier from Lord PONSONBY came through this
city on his way from Constantinople, which lie left
on the, 20th ult., with despatches announcing- offi-
cially that the SULTAN, on the mediation of the
Four Powers, had revoked the deposition of 11E11 E-
MET ALI, and p_,,ranterl to him the hereditary
Pachalic of Egypt." Nothing could be better
timed than this most gratifying piece of intelligenc

The underhand intrigues of Russia have failed, and
Lord PA LAIERSTON is again clear of the shoals
and quicksands upon which the first persistance of
the Porte in carrying out the deposition of tl►e
PACHA drove him. The settlement of the ques-
tion puts an end to the Treaty of July, and affords
France an opportunity of abandoning without the
.cmblance of restraint, her mistaken and dangerous
policy of isolation. That the present Government
of France is disposed to take advantage of the op-

portunity now offend to consolidate the peace of
Europe, we have every reason to believe. Indeed

the fact is admitted in an article in. the Journal des
Deb('is of Wednesday, from which we make the
following brief extract :
We arc of opinion that France is regaining by'dc.
grecs the rank from which the vacillating policy of the
last Cabinet had caused her to fall. We believe that
the Ministry of the 29th of Oztober, without making
a display of its bravery and singing patriotic airs, h,”
already, by its &Illness and the confidence that it in-
spires, had so much influence upon Foreign Cabinets
that, far from calling upon France for humiliating conces-
sions which she would not make, they are disposed to
meet our just susceptibilities on honourable terms. Wt-
believe, in short, that peace and good harmony are
being consolidated day by day, and that the crisis which
had been brought on by a weak and rash Cabinet
near its end.

A telegraphic despatch from Brest confirms the
news of peace having been concluded between
France and the Argentine Republic. It appears in
the following form in the Moniteur :
BREST, JAN. H, 8 O'CLOCK, A.M.
THE MARITIME PREFECT TO THE MINISTER OF

MARINE.
Peace has been concluded at Buenos Ayres.
M. Page, a ship lieutenant, who arrived last. night in
,he Cassard, will leave for Paris by the next mail, with
,he treaty.

Peace with the Argentine Republic is little to

the taste of the French Opposition Journals. They
arc for war with all the world. They are so fond
of fighting that nothing so distresses them as hear-
ing that an enemy has become an ally. They arc
more delighted to have enemies than Englishmen
are to have friends. In no other spirit could the
Commerce, for instance, have thus commented
upon the news of the conclusio❑ of a Treaty cf
Peace :

In vain did 1,200 Frenchmen present to Admiral
Mackau at Monte Video a petition, entreating him not
to re-epen negotiations with such a monster as Rosas.
Notwithstanding all his new crimes, his desperate situv-
tion, and the energetic manifestation of public opinion,
Admiral Mackau persevered in his intentions under the
mediation of the English Minister. We cannot here
bring forward the energetic terms in which our Monte
Video correspondents cypress their indignation. There
is but one cry among the French there against Admiral
Mackau and the Government whose instructions he has
followed. What most compromises the French name is
our cowardly abandonment of our allies, after having
urged them forward. Thus, in order to obtain from
a Minister like Rosas a bad arrangement, which would
be no sooner concluded than violated, we sacrifice the

liberating army, which was formed under our patron-
age and with our subsidies. In America, as in Europe,
as in the Eist, it is better to have France for an enemy
than for an ally. We cannot be told this time that it is
in the interest of mankind that we make this new racri
fice of our honour.

The following extract from a letter from the
Mauritius, dated the Bth of October, recounts
what, in common with a French Contemporary,
we regard as the origin of the reports so often re-

peated in the Nalional, of an engagement hetvleen
an English and a French ship in the Red Sea:—

" The transport Prcvoyantc, commanded by M. Jc•
benne, lieutenant do vaisscau, arrived at Bourbon on
the 29111 of September, frcm the coast of Mcv,m-
b'que, where it had captured a Portuguese ship com-
mitting acts of piracy, and buying slaves with the pro-
duce of its piratical seizures. M. Jchcnno was moored
in the same port with the pirate ; but in the night the
latter sailed, a circumstance which created suspicion.
Tha Prevoyantc immediately pursued, and an engage-
ment took place, which lasted three quarters of an
hour. The French vessel was ultimately the victor
and captured the pirate, which was well armed,
having a crow of forty-five men. It had also 250 nc-
grecs, and a great deal of gold and silver on board.
Tl!e two vessels are now in quarantine at Bourbon ;

the pirate is at least as large as the Prevoyante, and
was without papers. Nu lives were lost on board the
French ship.
" It is proliably this combat which the French and
English papers have been talking of for some time.
Tne Spaniards and Portuguese call any three-masted
vessel a frigate, and the news of the engagement
must have come to Moka through some Arab ship
a hich got it from the Portuguese at Mozambique."

The Gazelle de France has succeeded in cre-
ating some stir in Paris, by the publication of a
series of letters written by King Louts PHILIPPE,
when Duke of ORLEANS and an emigrant, in which
the peatest admiration is expressed for England.
To remove all doubts of the genuineness of these
letters, the Editor of the Gazelle says he has seen
them in the KING'S hand-writing, and is ready to
name to any person the public depository in which
they are kept. We have not had time to compare
those letters, but our impression is that they arc no
others than a series which were lithographed in
London a few years ago, at the instance, as we un-
derstood, of some disappointed French lady, and of
which at the time we obtained a copy. We envy
not the Editor his good taste who revives such du-
cumcnts for the purposes of political strife.

now to add to them Lieutenant-General Viscount Firlet,

CIiAkLiEN, OF DEPUTIES-6'l'mNo LiF JAN. AO
M. Sauzet took the chair at half-past one, but owing to
the scarcity of members no business commenced till half-

past two, at which hour the lion. President announced
that the report of the Committee on the proket of law
demanding a credit of 140,000,000 f. for the fortification s
Paris, nu old not be ready for some time, and that tht
Chamber would, therefore, proceed with the order of the
day relative to the sale of landed property and chattels.
The Ministers
.present were, MM. Soult, Teste. Valle
main; Humane, Cunin Gridnine. and Martin (du Nord.)
At half-past three M. Thiers ascended the tribune,
and read td ttie following effect :—The Committee has dim

its utmost to meet the trust confided in it by the Chamber.
.The Committee, in order to du so, has consulted both spe-
cial and political men. The project of fortifying Paris is by
no means a circumstantial project. Napoleon conceived this
project just after the battle of Austerhtz. Louis XIV, who
had opposed with success Great Britain, Austria, Spain,
&c. also entertained the idea of rendering- Paris secure
from the attack of an enemy, and charged the celebrated
Vauban to draw up a plan on the subject. Ilad Paris been
fortified when the Allies entered this country, the move-
ments of Napoleon would have been free, and perhaps—
nay, }nob ably_the fate of the country would frac been
different. M soy persona contest the value of fortified
places, but the opinion of Napoleon, although he often suc-
ceeded in turning them, is decidedly in their favour. Let
it be remembered that Paris is but 60 leagues from
he northern frontier, and tl at it has not even a river
of any magnitude to arrest, or rather impede the
pregress of an invading army. Paris is France—
Paris in the hands of the army is tantamount to a ge.
:ietal defeat of the country. Has not the great Captain of
he age affirmed that if Madrid, Berlin, and Vienna had
been fortified, the campaign which terminated in the occu-
pition of these capitals would have probably been far dif-
Lrent. Can a stronger argument be urged in favour of
fortifying Pais ? The capital unprotected is at the
mercy of a single victory gained by the- enemy. Paris
fortified is no longer the price of a battle—to obtain its
possession a protracted siege must take place, and during
chat time what events may not occur; and what an army
would, moreover, be required to besiege a -city so vast, so
populous, and so brave? In 1830 what courage was dis-
played by the population of the capital in defenee of the
charter ? In 1832 end in 1831 how adniiratlly the Na-
tional Guard behaved in defence of public order—great
bravery was also shown by the disaffected, but let a veil
be drawn over the scene of our civil dissensions. Paris
a city containing a breve and energetic national guard,
which, well directed, might do wonders. Did cot Vienna
in the sixteenth century undergo a siege of two months, and
all rca,ember the ever-memorable seige of Genoa, by
our illustrious Massena. Let it not be supposed that Paris
could be taken by famine. It would be no difficult matter
to supply Paris with provisions for sixty days. The enemy
alone would be exposed to that calamity, for how could
an invading force, eutliciently strong to besiege fortified
find means of subsistence ? The only difficulty to
supplying Paris with provisions would be with respect to
frost) meat, and that difficulty could ho easily surmounted
I,y admitting into the vast places inclos.d by the fortified
cattle sufficient for the necessities of the capital during
sixty days.

Lord Bateman, we understand, is to be the Lord

It is not )ct, re believe, settled that the Duke of lox-
burghe will move the Address in the Lords, but Lord
Lurgan will second it.
ADMIRAL STOPFORD, we are informed, has accepted

COSTEST AT REIGATE.--Lord Eastnor has been
started at Reigate by his Conservative friends, in oppo-
sition to Mr. D'Arcy. 'ibis split amongst the Tories
may perhaps open the door for some Liberal to walk
into the seat.

THE CHURCH AND THE ARISTOCRACY THE ENE-
MIES OF TRUTH.—". No, no ; we cannot help our con-
viction—our knowledge—that the principle of free trade
is true. We cannot resist—and we will not suppress—
the conviction that its judicious application would be an
incalculable boon to the empire, and to every human
being in it. But we will not be driven by misdirected—
sometimes intemperate—zeal in defence of a legislative
blunder, to abandon our allegiance to the Chu-ch. So
says the Manchester Chronicle, a thorough-paced Tory
print, which at the same time bitterly abuses the League
for speaking ill of the Aristocracy and the Church. The
Chronicle pays a divided allegiance. It cannot help
a commercial print, believing free trade to
he true and good,—it cannot help being also a
Tory print, believing- that the Chun ch and the
Aristocracy are also true and good. But the latter
are opposed to free trade, and opposed, therefore to what
the Chronicle regards as true and good. The divided al-
legiance of the Chronicle is another example to be added
to those of the Post, Standard, and Dublin Evening
Mail, of the homage which the Tories are reluctantly
compelled to pay to the -noble principles of free trade.
Like the unfortunate Scott, they seem about to hang
themselves, and certainly we shall not interpose to pre-
vent them.

CHANCERY COUR-(7th-IS DA Y.)

nnowr v. naooT.
The LOU) CnAscr.t.Lort gave judgment this morning in
this case, which came before him upon appeal from the de-
cision of the Vice Chancellor, who had ordered the trus-
tees under the marriage settlement of Mrs. Bagot to pay
the costs of the action, in consequence of the course they
had pursued in aiding the different proceedings of the hus-
band in retaining from the wife the proceeds of certain
timber cut upon the estates, which were her property pre-
vious to her marriage. Ills Lordship was of opinion the
decision of the Vice Chancellor was correct, and dismistcd
the appeal with costs.

NVALLWORTII V. HALL.
llis LORDSHIP gave judgment in this case, which also
came before him upon appeal from the judgment of the
Vice-Chancellor, allowing a demurrer put in by the de-
fendant to the plaintiff's bill. The plaintiffs were some
of the Shareholders of a Company called the Imperial
Bank of England, the business of which had been sus-
pended since 1539, and hnd paid all the calls made upon
there, and the defendants were shareholders who had not
paid tlicir calls. Although the business had been sus-
pended the partnership had not been dissolved. All the
Directors were bankrupt but one; large debts were due by
the Company, and there were also considerable assets, and
the object of the bill was to render jointly liable for the
debts of the Company those parties nho had not paid
their calls with those who had. To this sill the demurrer
was put in, which the Vice. Chancellor allowed. The
Lord Chancellor disagreed with the Court below, and
ordered the demurrer to be overruled, and gave the de-
fendants time to answer.

present when the bill w;:s acmtcd, a: d a!so wl:en it had
been discoun.ei by Peters, and that Elderton h; d part of
the money. The Jury, upon that evidence, found for the
plaintiff
Sir F. POLLOCK now moved for a rule to show cause
why the verdict should not be set aside, and a notruit
entered.

Lord DENMAN said the rule might instantly be granted
upon the ground of the reception of Jones as a witness.
Sir F. PoonooK had other points which he wished also to
t ,te to the Court. Indeed, the case was in his opinion one
of the most extraordinary that bad ever come before him,
and he hardly knew how to shape his application, and he
should wish to hear the opinian of the Court as to whether
it should be against the witness or the attorney. The bill
was drawn upon a stamp issued in February 1834, and the
case of E:d-rton was that he hid never seen or heard of
the bill till the action had been commenced against him';
that he never received any of the money ; that he was
utterly unacquainted with any person of the name of
Julian H. Peters; that he had made every attempt to
discover whether any such person existed, but that no
person of thc. name could be found. The case was perfectly
n ixamplr.d in the history of the jarisp-udence of the coun-
try, for ho had in addition the aflidavit of an attorney's
clerk, who deposed that he had furnished the stamp upon
which the bill hafi been drawn months after Jones swore
that it had been drawn --that he had filled it up at the re-
quest of Jones, and that Jones had disclosed to him, after
the action lout terminated, that he was in fact the real
plaintiff in the case.
Lord DENMAN thought quite enough had been stated to
entitle Lim to the rule pralcd.
Sir F. Poonock sail, as the c..se m'ght affect Mr. Babb,
the plaintiff's attorney, he wished to state that so far as he
knew, that gentleman was of unimpeachable character, and
it was not surprising that he should believe the statements
of Jones, who was in appearance and by birth and educa-
tion a gentleman. He wished to know in what way he
should shape his application. Perhaps the better course
would be to move that all the proceedings in the case
should be net aside, and that the plaintiff's attorney should
pay the costs.
Lord DENMAN thought that would be rather a strong
course to take.

Sir F. POLLOCK—The attorney gave a wrong address
of the plaintiff.
After some further discussion, the COURT granted &
rule to show cause why a tionsuit should not be entered,
and why the proceedings should not be set aside, with
costs, to be paid by Jones or his attorney.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.)
FULLER V. CURLING.

Mr. CLARKSON moved in this case for a rule to show
cause why the verdict had for the plaintiff should not be
set aside and a new trial had. The action had been tried
a few days since before the Under-Sheriff. It was brought
by the plaintiff, a gardener, against the defendant, whose
name has been lately before the public as one of the can-
didates for the borough of Southwark, for work and labour
done, in converting a small piece of ground into a garden.
The defendant had paid 381. Is. for gravel and mould, a
sum of 171. at different times to the plaintiff, and Si. Si.
into Court, and the Jury had given a verdict for Si. 84.
additional. The Lebrned Counsel referred at some length
to the evidence at the trial, and submitted that there was
nothing in it to warrant the Jury in finding any additional
sum for the plaintiff. It would be only mere justice if the
Court would also direct that the trial should take place be-
fore one of their Lordships.
_ _

The Counr said that should be a substantive motion in
itself, and granted a rule fur a new trial.

EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS DAY.

(Sittings in Banco. Banco.)
ALAVA V. THOMPSON AND OTHERS

This was an action brought in the name of the Spanish
Ambassador against Lord SMenham upon a bill of ex-
change for 3.1751., dated in 1823, and accepted by the late
firm of Thomp.ou, Bonnar, and Co., of which the Ncble
Lord was the head. The bill was accepted upon a con-
signment of sugar from Teaser and Co., of the Havannah,
and was made payable to " the Prior of Consoles of the
National Consulate of Cadiz, " which;body was suppressed,
and its functions distributed amongst other bodies, one of
which was called " The Junta of Commerce of Cadiz "
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL had obtained a rule for en-
larging the time for returning a commission to examine
wit ncp'es in Spain, and to add a Lew pica.
C.use against the rule was this morning shown by Mr.
Cresswell, who was interrupted by the Court suggesting
that the action should proceed, a verdict taken, and the
defendant have a stay of proceedings until lie had a release
from the Junta of Commerce at Cadiz, and from the
Spanish Government. _ _

'The ATTORNEY• GENERAL said if his noble client were
present he would without doubt pay the utmost respect and
attention to any suggestion from the Court. Acting for
him he would follow the c-urse which he, if present, would
take, and at once eonseut to a judgment upon those terms,
provided that General Alava gave up the bill and also gave
a reka,,e.

These terms were agreed to, the defendant to pay inte-
rest from the time of the d,rnand in 1839.

The CUUFer gave co,sts against the defendant, observing
that the interest upon 3,0001. for 16 years would have fruc-
tified into more then the original.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
