THE FIFE GAUSS.

The following is an abstract of the proposed
htd§ntent, showing the several points decided
thereby, and the substance of those to be atcet-
tallied by the remit back to the Court of Session
in Scotland:—

L The Lards find that the signature by Notaries wasitiwite.
cesasry. That the signature tithe Earl of Fife Was the proper
one to give effect to the inetrnments according to the Statute.:
2. That the deeds are probative instruments $ and that to
impeach them as probative instrumenti, deedi. of the Earl of
Fife, the Pursuer, the present Earl war bomul to prove that
the witnesses, or one of them, did not see the Earl !subscribe
them, or hear him acknowledgehis subscription thereto.

3. That to impeach the 'deeds on the ground of want of
knowledge of the contest*, the Pursuer' was beurerto prove that
the late Earl did nor knew the contents when he signed them.
4. That reading over is not a solemnity by law' at the time of
signing, or any other time ; and the knowledge of the contents.
must be presumed until contrary shewn ; but that proof that
deeds were not read over to the Earl at the timeof Aiming, is
evidence to be received that he did not know mates''; but
such is not conclusive evidence that he did not know contents,
inasmuch as his knowledge may be proved by other evidence.
tr. That, the deed of alteration in November, 1808, five weeks
after the execution of the other two deeds, is evidence lo be re-
ceived as proof the Earl's knowledge of the contents of the
previous deeds, when he signed them.
6. That the verdicts of the Juries were inconsistent in sonic
respects, slid insufficient to warrant the judgments of Interlo.
tutors reducing the deeds.
7. That the question properly in issue on the summons of
reduction'was, Whether the deeds, though apparently probative
and to be received as the deeds of the Earl of File, were the
deeds of the Earl ?

8. That the proof' that they were not the deeds of the Earl
'ought to have been given by the present Earl'in support of his
action for reduction of them.
Therefore ordered, that the Interlocutors of the Court of Ses-
sion be reversed ' • and that the Court do direct an issue to try
whether the deeds were or were not the deeds of the, }ate Earl
of Fife ? and that upon the trial the burden of proof that they
were not, ought to he upon. the Respondent in the appeal, the
present Earl of Fife. Thathe be the Plaintiff in suchissue—
Sir James Duff the Respondent: That the deeds be produced
on the trial, 'and received as probate instruments, to be itn-
peached by the present Earl by such evidence as be may offer.
and to be supported by Sir Jetties Doff, by such evidence as
he may offer-; and that 'be be .at,liberty to- offer the deed of
alteration of 12th November, 1800, as evidence in support of
the two previous deeds of 7th October, 1808, if he think proper
to do so t anti after the trial of such issue, the Court of Session
do proceed further in the cause as shall he meet.

NOLLEKENS AND lIIS WILL.

Mn. Etwrou.—As your Paper lately con,
tallied two paragraphs respecting the will of the
deceased Sculptor, and the extraordinary trans.
actions which attended it, and which are still pend-
ing, 1 am induced to mention a circuntstance which
will not appear less surprizing to your Readers,
though of a trifling nature in itself. The Exe-
cutors (three 1 believe) are eXpected to derive.
about 70,0001. each from the will, and as re-
siduary Legatees; would it not then be universally
supposed, if it was necessary to bring' all the
property to a public sale, that, as there was a
very fine Portrait of their deceased Patron, paint-
ed by SIC THH3fAs Lxwittsicc, Sir \\Pubis'
BEECWEY, or Mr. PHILLIPS do. not pretend to
he sufficiently conversant with the style of these
respective Artists to decide whose production it
was*), would it not, I; repeat, be getterally,sup.,
posed that there Wtitsr„tiit*.6*. been evory revs-,
lute strUggle among t se Executors to heciuni
the purchaser of ythaviCture of a Iran to Whom
they an so Much indebted, particaleiltas itsiras:
a faithful and spirited likeness, as well as A Very
fine work of art? Kul what wee the-fact Mr.r.
Editor ?—Why, that this adadrible .Portrait of
their munificent benefactor was suffered to far

to the hands or a itrifiger for SIXTEEN Gu

NESS!! ! The fact seems incredible, yet I have
been assured that it is actually well-founded.—
But this is not all. There was a portrait also of
Miss Cit.kuncas, ti daughter of the eminent
Hanker of Bond-street, which was painted for
Mr. NoLLEK ENS, with whom the young lady was a
great favourite, yet this picture also was suffered
to be sold for seven guineas!! Surely, if these
Executors annexed no value to what must have
been valuable to their departed benefactor, they
ought.at least to have shewn so much delicacy
towards a parent as to offer it to Nr.Ol.OlllElll,
and not to have exposed the portrait of a young
lady to the gaze of the public at large. These
circumstances have excited so much notice in
the circles of Artists, and in private souversa.

We understand that a measure for removing
the attainder from the five, Scottish peerages of
Mar, Kenmore, Duffus, Stratitallan, and Nairne,
was expected to pass the Legislature on Wed-
nesday. We have reason to know that the most
favourable wishes on the subject were long ago
expressed in the highest quarter ; and this act of
grace will be a just and striking acknowledgment
of. the tried fidelity of the Scottish nobles.—
(Scotsman).
An old travelling trunk, which had for more than twenty
years been used in the tool-house of a Gentleman's garden,
some few miles from Lewes, as the depository of seeds for the
use of the gardener, was a few weeks ago accidentally disco-
vered, containing :WI guineas, which, by the ingenious contri-
vance of two secret drawers, mukt have been long concealed,
RS. the guineas, we understand, were principally coined in the
reigns of Charles and James.

FATAL CONSEQUENCE OF ,DRUNKENSTESS.-Oti
Thursday last an Inquest was held on the body of Septitnus
Walker, a recruit in the artillery service of the Bon. East
India Company. On Sunday the 15th ult. the deceased
went with several other recruits in a steam-packet from
Liverpool to Runcorn, on the way to Chatham, and they
were all to a state of inebriety. On the passage they were
served with more liquor, and a young man of the name ,of
Edward Shnner offered . the deceased A, glass of rum, to take
part of . it, when he drank it all, which incensed Simner, and
blows followed I but the packet.men interposed. They landed
at Runcorn, and passing through the Clutreh.yanl the deceased
lay down, a few feet from A graveraveabouti►feetdeep,newlyopenedto
receive a corpse when the Church service was over. Sumner took
the deceased by the leg and
.arm, carried him to the grave, and
threw hint in crowd umnedirttely eollectea, and he was
pulled out, but could not stand ; and ticing unable to proceed,
the serjeant sent him back by a packet to Liverpool, were he
tiled on. the 24th ult. from injury of the spine, and httllsys.—,

irICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JULIt 15.

THE ATTOUNEV.AtIiEISAL v. THE SICINNEItteCOMPAXY.
Mr: HART stated that this was a motion arising out of the
other proceedings in this Court relating to the Tonbridge
School, of which the defendants were the txultees. An order
had formerly been made, aireeting that two bowies should be
purchased or built the tires for the use of the Head Mister,
and the second for that of the Under Masser ofi this School.
The house for the Head Allister had been provided, and the
defendants had made Certain proposals for the purthase of
another house, under the terms of his thuour's order. These
proposals his client's (the relators) did not think very beneficial,
and he therefore moved that his ilonoto would direct this mat.
ter td 'he referred to, one of the Masters of this Court, who
should examine proposals, and determine on those which ought
to be accepted.
Mr. 'IIUALIO, who appeared for the Trustees, said, the riu3-
tion ought to have been differently framed, and_ he applied to
his Honour to order that it should be refereed-to the Mash.* to
examine the proposals of agreement for purchase, which had
already been entered into, and, if he approved of thein, to
direct that they should be carried into effect—and, if head not
approve of them, then to esatuinti Others which might be (Anted,

" THE YOUNG DAUPHIN."

The ' Quarterip Review, in noticing varion' 5i
French Royalist publications, regarding the journeys and
perils of the Royal Family at the period of the Revolution,
states that the Duchess trAngtiuleine's Account of Proceed.
ings in the Temple, " contradicts the report that the Dau,;
phin wa4 poisoned; he was onli poisoned, do, says, by
filth, by harshness, and by cruelty. '. Her account of the Dau-
phin's Imprisonment is appalling. The Review extracts the
account, afterwards communicating " that to this work is added
a most curious paper, quite new to us,
giving an account of
a visit made by a Committee of the Convention to this poor
little Prince, a few months before his death. Tt exhibits
the most extraordinary instance of sensibility and firmness
in so young a child (he was eight years old when he was first
imprisoned) that we have ever met with. Every one knows
that the poor child was fiirced to pot his name to a deposition
against his mother and his aunt, but we now, for the first time,
learn that, A•ont the moment he had done so, he never spoke
again ! Hi was docile, obedient, and courteous, but he never
spoke again ! He understood all that was said to him, showed
a perfect sense of his situation, and even diverted himself with
building houses of cards, and similar quiet amusements, but

ROYAL NAVY.

PORTSMOUTH, MAY 10.—Orders are received to complete
the equipment, immediately, ofthe Royal George Yacht. The
complement of Seamen allotted to her will be transferred from
the Apollo, on the arrival of the Calliope.
Captain Macpherson Ferguson has commissioned the Mer-
sey, 28, at this port, for the South American station. Lieute-
nant 0 G. S. Gunning is-appoir.ted to her.
The Egeria, 26, Captain S. -Roberts, is arrived from Ply-
mouth, fitted for the Nowfoundland station, and remains at
Spithead with the Banger and Pandora. The Egeria and Pan-

Chas. Hamilton will proceed in the Ranger, early in June.
PLYMOUTM—A French frigate ( LaCons tance)has been sonic
days cruising off the Lizard, prottssedly to look out for the Spanish
vessels, but she has annoyed several vessels of our trade,. in a
way that must not be permitted to continue; on Tuesday she
boarded the Eliza and Sarah, from Cardiff, bound to London,
and detained her the greater part of the day. La Constance
is a large frigate, with a complement of three hundred men ;
but so lubberly handled, that few of them can be seamen; her
Commander is a feeble old man, who has daubed out his ship
like a pleasure yacht. He informed one of the vessels, that
he expected a war with Portugal as well as Spain, when it
being remarked that that would bring England into the con-
test; he said, he did not believe it—nor appeared to wish it.
The Ann, Hill, arrived at Falmouth, saw a frigate, three brigs,
and two schooners, off Cape St. Vincent ;and a French frigate
off Ushe.nt.—The Comet steam-vessel returned from Falmouth
'on Thursday last, having performed her voyage thither in four
hours. On her return, she took the Boadicea frigate from off
the Dock-yard to her moorings up the harbour, against the
tide, in twenty minutes ; and brought down the Barfieur, 98,
in thirty-four minutes—a piece of service which has here-
tofore occupied four hours, and employed eighty men : the
Barflenr is to be broke up.—Captain William King has
commissioned the Astrea, 36, as the reo'ulating ship for the su-
perintendence of the Post-office Packet Duties at Falmouth
and Lieut. T. C. Barron, the Frolic, 10, ermine of the Packets.

REFUGE FOR THE DESTITUTE.

This institution celebrated its sixteenth anni-
versary_festival at the City of London Tavern, on Saturday last.
Lord KEN YON presided on the occasion. In the course of the
evening several addresses were made by the noble Chairman and
other members of the institution, pointing out the great benefit
conferred by the charity, the object of which was to afford a
place of refuge and reformation for persons who had been dis.
charged from prisons or the hulks, and for unfortunate or desert-
ed females, and others, who, though willing to work were un.
able from loss of character to earn an honest maintenance. Se-
veral instances of the accomplishment of these'objects were
mentioned ; but the Society, it was stated, was under the pain.
fat necessity of turning numerous applicants away from their
doors daily, for want of additional funds. After the usual rou-
tine of toasts were drank, the Secretary read the Report of sub-
scriptions received, which amounted to a considerable sum,
and Stewards for the next year being appointed, the company
retired.

Mr. WtLatoT, Under Secretary of State for the
Colonial Department, has recived his Majesty's permission to
take and use the sirname of Hon.roir, in addition to that of
WILMOT, in compliance with a provision in the will 014 de-

not," and their war will be only one on paper. Poland
we believe to be deeply discontented, and the Milanese we
are sure is so; anti these are pretexts sufficient for the

[M'O RN tN G If ER AMY.)
We beg leave to call the attention of our
Readers to' the speeches in the House of Commons on Friday
night, especially to the speeches of Mr. Huskisson, on the policy of
doing away with the Act of Parliament, made many years since,
for the protection of the Spitalfield Silk weavers, whereby power
was given to Magistrates to regulate the price for weaving silk
goods, between master and man. It has been found by experience
that this Act was destroying by degrees the Spitalfields branch of
the silk business altogether. It is well known that ever since
that Act passed, the Spitalfields manufacturing district has
been sensibly declining. Let any one walk into the Spital-
fields streets, formerly inhabited almost exclusively by the
silk-manufacturers; and he will be surprised to see the num-
ber" of good houses to be let—houses which, from their ap-
pearance, have the signs of having been built by manu-
facturers. Trade delights in freedorii.—Only let a number
of weavers meet at a public house; with' it lawyer, (who
has not the same good rack as some -of the City of Lon,
don lawyers., to be so overwhelmed with business as to keep.
clients waiting among clerks for an hour or two together,)
draw' .up a Petition for the said: Weavers' on which to
found a Bill for their protection, and we will answer for it,
that it will not be tong after' the passing of such Bill, before
these very weave*, with their wives and their children, will be
obliged to travel a lurnilved or tWo miles frotrr their native place
in order- to proeure employment in placetnot yet visited with
such regulations as we have alluded to. We have from time
to time much gratification, in seeing howby degrees the present
Parliament are getting rid of laws that ought never to have
been enacted. It is, strange, however, that most of these
Acts begin thus :—" Whereas, for the benefit of trade, coin=
merce, and manufactures, it is expedient," &c. We are also
pleased to see, that the stupid- regulations in Scotland in
the linen .trade are going to be got rid 0f,., and next we hope
that the foolish Irish Linen Board regulations of Irish linens-
will be got rid of; and the Dublin,. Belfast, and other Linen'
Halls, let at a rent to' those who deal in the manufactured goods
of Ireland ; so that an income may be realized, instead of. an
expenditure. Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester, Sheffield,
the Potteries, &c. have no Cotton, Linen, Iron, Steel, or Pot-.
tery Boards ; nor Committees of Lords, Generals and Admirals,
passing resolutions, and making bye laws for the benefit of the
goods manufactured at those places ;, and yet those towns and
districts flourish.

POETRY.

We are indebted for the following animated Appeal to Spanish
Patriotism to an interesting Work, intitled " DELMOUIt,
or a TALE of the SYLPuir).l
SPANISH SONG.
By the glories our Fathers have won—
By our hopes of the glories to be ;
Though our blood like our rivers may run,
We will swear—we will swear to be free !
Though our homes in the dtist be laid low—
Though our children be crusted in the fall—
Though all Spain be a camp for the foe,
Yet we never will crouch to the Gaul:
Let him come in his bahner'd array ;
Every field shall aftbrd him a grave,
Ere the Depot shall boast of the day
When he shackled the souls of the Brave !
Can thy sons bear the scutcheon of shame ?
Is thy chivalry witherld—Castile ?
Mast thou I,,st, 0 Toledo, thy fame
For the bosoms as true as thy steel?
Say, can Arragon doubt &lid: to bear,
The weight of the sword, or the, chain ?
Can the soul of the Spaniard feel fear ?
Or—no !—on for .Tago and Spain !
Pelayo—thou Lion of Old
Whom no tyrant could fetter or tame;—
The ocean of ages bath roll'd,
But bath left thy descendants the same !
By thy stream, Guadiana, which still
Is the haunt of the Heroes of yore—
By each echo that speaks from the hill,
Of the fame of the feats- that are o'er,—
By the houghs of the myrtle that breathe
All as sweet in our laiid as the clime,
Where Liberty twin'd them a wreath *
Round the swords of the Darlings of' Time ;
. .
By thee, lovely land of our birth—
By the breath and the beauty of Heaven—
By the Seas, and the Air, and the Earth—
We will swear that the chain shall be riven!
The Altar for Liberty's fires
In tile breast of each Spaniard shall be !
By the swords and the souls of our Sires,
We will swear—we will swear to be free !

SPITALMLDS ACTS.

The debate .on the third reading of the Silk
Nlanufacturers to'repeal the " Spite'fields'.
Acts," was resumed yesterday, in the House of
Lords, as will, he seen by our Parliamentary
aq)ort ; and it was read a third time and passed;
but.withma6," amendments" that very few words
of the original Bill remain. Besides striking out
more than 2-thirds of the Bill in succession, after
the title and preamble, both, of which are altered,
There are several sentences and words rejected;
and then there are three entirely new clauses.—
They, are to enable the masters to employ men
'otit of the district, &c. Thus the Bill assumes a
o.:ompletely new complexion, and though he Bill
ri being returned to the House of Commons
hi~7p,
will come to have the 44 amendments"
.adoptesd „those ametidntents are so numerous, as
may be imal;ined from the previous statement,
that to discuss tb,erri will he to re-open the debate

consists of," amendments" made ,by the Lords ;
and we may, epeat, what we stated 4 day Or two

in' this measure, that the Commons, on the Bill
going hack to them, may discuss the " amend-

The crowdsasse-mbled round the 'House were
about-as' ntimerOus as on any formeroccasion;
and they conducted themselves with their accus-

not very contentedly 'on learning that the Bill

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

• Since the above was written, we have received
by Express the Paris Paris of Wednesday,
from which we subjoin important extracts. The
French have been gallantly resisted in their first
operations against Barcelona. The Cadiz news
is cot much to be depended on ; and is at least,
we may be assured, greatly exaggerated.

TIE TIIENTRES.

DauaY-LANE..--It seems to be thought by
modern Farce-writers, thatjf they can hit upon
a whimsical title, and form a part for a popular
Actor, that they have nearly secured success to
their productions. Such was obviously the case
with a Piece brought forward last night, under
the title of " 8 10s. Id. if quite Convenient,"
of which-the principal character was assigned to
LISTON. Neither, however, the ludicrous title
of the Piece, nor the efforts of the popular Co-
median, who performed the part of a Tailor,
could save the Farce from the decided reproba-
tion of a large majority of the audience ; and on
the dropping of the curtain LisTorr came forward
and signified that the Piece would be withdrawn,
in respectful submission to what appeared to be
the general opinion.

CO VENT.GA IIDEN.—Me seldom notice bene-
fits, because they are generally intended to at-
tract by hasty novelties rather than dramatic or
theatrical merit. Last night, however, the be-
nefit of Miss PATON requires particular notice,
as she is, botlr as an actress and a singer, pos-
sessed of great talents, and is much esteemed in
private life. The Play was The Belle's Strata-
gem, a lively, bustling Comedy, with very little
real dramatic merit, but which is always likely
to keep its station on the boards, because it is
diverting on the whole, is calculated to please an
audience not over-critical, and affords scope, in
the two principal characters of Doricourt and
Letitia Hardy, for new theatrical candidates to
submit their pretensions to the judgment of the
Public. On this occasion Miss 1. PATON
ventured forth in the character of Miss Hardy.
As the effort was to serve a sister, it was enti-
tled to critical lenity, but on the whole it afford-
ed such a promising specimen of theatrical merit,
as indeed gave it a claim to critical approbation.
The affected idiotism on the one hand, and the
fashionable elegance on the other, were well
contrasted, and the fair adventurer exhibited
both with humour and sensibility. Iler part in
the Minuet de la COUT, introduced in the mas-
querade scene, danced by her anti St. Ar.ntN,
was supported with grace and effect. Altogether
she was deservedly well received by the audience.
The farce was The Barber of Seville, in which
Miss PATON performed the part of The Countess.
She is a very good actress, and rendered as full
justice to the part as she has often done to
Susanna. She had previously sung the affecting
song of " Crazy Jane," in character, and was
pathetic and impressive. Of her vocal merits it
is unnecessary to speak, as they are so well known
and so justly admired. A Concert followed the
farce, in which Miss PATost of course exerted all
her powers to gratify an audience who were so vu-
merous as strongly to testify the high estimation
in which those powers are held, as w, ll as the
respect which is properly attached to her personal
character.

BOXING.

The match between Ben Flowers, the Wiltshire blacksmith,
and Johnson, the American black, took place yesterday morn-
ing, in a 24 feet ring, at Heston. It was a merry fight of 21
rounds in 42 minutes.

In the first round the Black placed a good right-handed
receiver upon his adversary's jaw, which rattled it well and
dropped the man. _

2: -Flowers got a right handed facer upon his adversary,
closed in upon him and threw him a clever Somerset.
3. The Black was hit down from the scratch by a right handed
facer.
4 and 5. Severe fighting rounds, and plenty of ex change blows.
The black had the best of the rounds, and floored his adversary
in both.

8. Tim the black received a throttler at good measurement,
which brought on a groggiiving hiccough, and sent his ideas
so much upon the wander, that he was all abroad. A hit on
the neck graAred him, and it was St. Paul's to Ludgate.
The black kept on a merry fight with much dissAlvant,g e.—
He chewed plenty of game, and, kept up the game, but in the
2lst round the black was floored by a touch in the victualling
department, and Vlowers won a hazardous fight.

MATRIMONIAL DISPUTE.

[The following was omitted in its place, from
the press of matter of public interest.]

COURT OF CHANCERY, MONDAY, MAY 12.
LOGAN V. LOGAN, GOLDSIIIII3, AND lIIRKETTS.
Mr. SUADwELL appeared in this case, and stated, that Mr,
Hart on Saturday obtained an injunction in favour of a'hady,
Of the name of Logan, who had filed a bill against Mr. Logan,
her husband, to restrain him from selling cluantity of jewels,
plate and furniture, her separate property. Mr. Hart stated.;
that Mr. Francis, the attorney of Mrs. L., having demanded the
above on the part of his client, and having been refused the pos.
session of them by the defendant, had made an affidavit of
tie fact, and on this obtained the injunction prayed for ; where-
as, the truth was, thatno affidavit had beam filed. He therefore
applied to have that order diachaged with costs.
Mr. HART acknowledged it was a mistake; that he had been.
a little premature, and therefore did not oppose the present
application.
Mr. SIIADIVELL thought he had not been a link, but very
much premature, in making any such motion ; for the injunc-
tion had been obtained on a statement entirely erroneous and
unfounded. Not only had no affidavit been made by Mrs.
Logan, but not even by Mr. Francig,. for Mr. Logan had nil,
jewels, plate, nor furniture, the separate property of his wife.
His Lordship immediately directed the order to be discharged
with costs.

LOVE.
What Pow'r invincible on Earth or Heav'n •
Like LOVE can strive with fate, like Love bath striven !
Thou only spark in man that is divine,
If thine is transport, Stoic strength is thine ;
And calmly canst thou smile on danger's form, .
Like rosy summer on the thunder-storm.
Thy smiles are charms that quench the furious tide—
LOVE is the pilot, Love the only guide.
Thine is the hand to act, the heart to dare,
The soul to feel, the fortitude to bear,
The breast that softly glows, or bravely bleeds,
The voice that calls to fame, the step that leads,
And time-tri'd truth and constancy that prove
He is no wretch who bath no friend but LovE.

THE SPANIARD AT THE ALTAR OF HIS
COUNTRY.
The banner is flung on the sky,
For honour, for freedotn, for Spain.
And we swear by that proud sign to die,
Ere her spirit be fettered again.
We swear by the heroes who perish'd to save,
We shall live with the free or shall fall with the brave.
The Despots who wildly profane
The name of the God we adore,
While they come his free children to chain,
And dash his bright altars in gore ;
0! flushed with the vain hope of conquest they come,
Provoking the curse of a desolate doom.
When vassals in sorrow and shame,
At the throne of their victor they lay,
They call'd upon freedom's high name,
And she led them in victory's way.
But the battle once gain'd they perfidiously gave,
To the freedom that saved them, the scourge and the grave.
In the feast of their folly and pride,
Ere the fumes of their revel be cold,
That God shall their insolence chide,
Whose voice smote Balshazzer of old.
Their chaplets of glory shall wither in gloom,
And the deep curse of nations write shame on their tomb.
Let them rush like the torrent along,
When 'Winter iinpels its wild force,
Thelt

They may waste the rich fields and bright valleys of Spain,
But freedom shall bid them bloom' greenly again.
But the darkness that chill'd us has died,
The fetters of Priestcraft are torn,
And man in his natural pride,
Aleets the frown of his tyrant with scorn,
And the hecatombs despots in wrath have decreed,
Are ready—as Spartans were ready—to bleed.
