COUNCIL OFFICE, QUARTER- PAST Two, P.M.

Since writing the above, official reports have been re-
ceived of the death of the three cases at Litnehouse.

We understand that a Russian Cabinet
courier, named NA suLIN, arrived in town last
night at the residence of the Russian Am-
bassador, with despatches. It is supposed that
the despatches are of more than ordinary impor-
tance, as the messenger crossed the channel in
an open boat. Perhaps he is the bearer of the
long-promised ratification !

The delay in the creation of Peers begins to
excite a universal feeling of astonishment through.
out the country. We might, if we pleased, with
perfect truth, use a stronger term than " astonish-
ment," but we forbear. It is generally rumoured,
and, almost as generally believed, that Lord
GREY has received from his MAJESTY a carte
blanche for the creation of as many Peers as
he may think requisite to ensure the full
triumph of the Reform Bill, and consequently
people now begin to ask each other the
question, how it is that his Lordship thus
delays, day after day, to give the country an
assurance that he will exert to the utmost ex-
tent that power with which hi noble-minded and
patriotic SOVEREIGN has so liberally invested
him ? The question is an appropriate one, and
deserves a prompt and satisfactory answer. If
Peers are really to be created, the country cannot
be too soon assured of the fact, in order that a
proper degree of confidence may be thereby
restored to trade, now languishing and
crippled in all its members ; and if they are
not to be created, still the country cannot be too
soon acquainted with the full extent of its disap-
pointment, in order that the fearful blow may not
fall on it by surprise, and so paralyze its better
energies. We are far from desiring to convey
by these remarks, even a doubt that Earl GREY
will not fulfil his pledges—for is he not pledged,
doubly and trebly pledged, to carry the
Reform Bill, and is not a creation of
Peers, the most, indeed the only, fitting in-
strument wherewith to carry it ?—still we
cannot but feel apprehension, or something
akin to it, at the st•ange delay and apparent
apathy in the Cabinet to adopt the only successful
means to give the country that just and national
representation for which it has so long panted, and
which it is now determined on obtaining. The
Reform Bill is already carried, if three kingdoms
have any voice, if their resolution have any in-
fluence ; but it is not carried in the calm, and
dignified, and constitutional manner in which
such measures, to do real good to the commu-
nity, should be carried. If Lord GREY really de-
sire to become the benefactor of his country, and
win himself a name among those who shall come
after him, let him at once away with all tem-
poriziHg—all vacillation—all absurd attempt to
conciliate those, whom nothing short of the
resignation of the entire Cabinet can con-
ciliate, and adopt in their stead energy, promp-
titude, and resolution.

The French Papers of Saturday have been re-
ceived. On that day an ordinance appeared in
the Moniteur, calling out the conscription of
80,000 men for 1831. This does not look
much like a belief on the part of the citizen
KING that the Northern Powers are sincere
in their professions of maintaining peace.
The arrival of the refugee Poles in France
continues daily—and their reception does honour
to the kind-heartedness and enthusiasm of the
French people. Far different is their treatment by
the Prussians ; but we hope that the day of their

national regeneration is net far off, though clouded
for the present. Confiscation tied banishment
are the order of the day in Poland. The moat
barbarous cruelties are daily perpetrated on the
poor defenceless people, under the pretence that
they have been engaged in the revolution. Ex-
tracts from these Papers will be found in ano.
ther part of the Paper.

Priva e letters from Holland state that such is
the activity with which the armaments are carried
on, that all vessels not wanted as merchantmen
are equipped as men-of-war.

Dutch and German Papers have been received
this morning. The note of preparation still
sounds busy with the King of HOLLAND, and
the subscriptions to the voluntary loan continue
to pour in. Well, and what does all this indi-
cate ? Not peace, surely. Is the Dutch KING
so mad as to think of war single-handed against
Belgium, now recognized by France and Eng-
land? We really cannot credit such a preposterous
intention on the part of the cautious though
obstinate Dutchman. The true secret then, if
he is bent on war, must be that he relies on
assistance from the Northern Powers, or one of
them—and which one would dare to back up
his pretensions against France and England ?
Time must answer.

With regard to the news in the German
Papers, we learn that the SULTAN, instead of
adjusting matters with the rebellious Pacha of
EGYPT, is straining every nerve to prosecute the
war against him. it now appears that the report
of the PAcnA's defeat at St. Jean IYAcre is not
correct, if we may believe news from Smyrna.

was issued by the Royal Commissioner Major-General Von
Pine!, declaring that as the tranquillity of the principality
seems to be in no danger either from within or without,
the state of war in which it was placed shall cease; any
part of the principality in which public tranquillity
may be again disturbed, will if needful be again declared
in a state of war (under martial law). The General fur-

CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 10.—On the representation of
the Grand Vizier, Redechid Alehemed Pacha, of the neces-
sity of confiding the provinces of Albania, which have
been brought back to their obedience, to a mild
and experienced Governor, the Sultan has given the
Government of Scutari, with the Saniiks of Ochri
and Elbassan, to Ali Bamik Pacha, formerly Governor
of Bosnia, and he is also• directed to introduce
the new military system into those provinces. The
Pachalik of Widdin, thus becoming vacant, is given to
the late Vizier, Izzed Alehemed Pacha. Ibrahim Pacha,
lately appointed Governor of Bosnia, being found inca-
pable to rw•ore order in that province, has been removed
from his Ace, and ordered to repair to the head-quarters
t Alonaster. Alehemed Hamad Pacha, Governor of Tir-
hala, celebrated fur his valour, is appointed Governor
of Bosnia, and retains also Tirhala.

The armaments against the Pacha of Egypt are pro-
ceeding with great activity. A very large three-decker is
getting ready, in which the Capita❑ Pasha will probably
hoist his flag when the fleet sai s.

The sanitary state of the capital is daily improving, and
the cold season will probably cause the plague to disappear
entirely.

The Ottoman Itfoniteur, of 7th January, announces that
the army of the Gland Vi3tii-r, which has so successfully
terminated the troubles in Albania, will return to the
capital this winter, notwithstanding the severity of the
weather and the badness of the roads. The Seraskicr has
submitted a plan for the subsistence and accommodation
of the troops on their march,which ha, been approves; of by
the sultan

An important resolution has been taken with respect to
the island of Scio and the coast of Tschesine. The Greek
inhabitants have petitioned the Sultan to restore their
estates, which were confiscated during the insurrection,
the inhabitants of Aiwali having already received that
favour. T"ie S.iltati, therefore, summoned the chief jobs-
hi•ants of Scio to Constantinople. It seems that their
confiscated estates produce to the Imperial Treasury
220,000 piastres annually, and that this revenue might
be increased in time. The Sultan, however, de-
signing to promote the welfare of his suhjrcts, paid
no regard to the interests of the treasury. Tice inhabi-
tants summoned to Constantinople, promised in the name
of their countrymen, that out of gratitude for the restore•
tion of their property, and as an indemnity to the treasury,
they would pay once for all 1,000 pares (500,000 piastres. )
The Sultan has not only granted the entire restitution of
their lands, but has refused the indemnity offered by the
inhabitants of Scio, and desired them to employ the sum
in the cultivation and improvements which the restored
estates may require. The execution of this measure is
confided to the receiver of taxes of the island, who is en-
joined to examine the title of the claimants, arid the only
condition on which the property is restored, is that the
possessor shall faithfully perform his duties as a subject.
Should he neglect these duties, the property now restored
will be irrevocably taken from him. This imperial decree
has excited the raost lively joy in the hearts of all the in-
habitants of Scio, on the coast of Tacheme.

We direct attention to the naval estimates for
the year 1832-3, by which it will be see❑ that
they are reduced nearly one million sterling.
This looks well for the navy ; but how much
will he saved in the army ? Two millions, 4t
least ?

KING'S THEATRE.—DONNEZETTI'S L'Esud
di Roma was played un Saturday for the third time.
This opera gains but little in public estimation by repeti-
tion ; and toough, from the style in which it has been
mounted it may occasionally be played with advantage,
yet, valuing its present success by a pecuniary standard,
we cannot consider it as an acquisition to the repertoire
of the establishment. Madame Mnatc and Signori Wpt-
TER and Mantalsi have fully confirmed our first impres-
sions of their respective abilities. The lady gave the con-
cluding cavatina, " Ogni tormento," with a refinement of
taste and a delicacy of execution, which the house unani-
mously appreciated. We hope, shortly, to see the talents
of these artistes further developed ; bur, in the meantime,
we think that Mr. AlAsoN exercises a sound judgment in
deferring the production of new operas until they have un-
dergone a through rehearsing.
EXPEDITION TO THE NIGER.—II is, we are
informed, the intention of a company of merchants at
Liverpool to equip a steamer of 100 tons burden, and other
vessels, for a trading voyage up the Niger. We have
further learned that the merchants have it in contempla-
tion to send a limited number of Moravian Missionaries
with the expedition, who are to remain in the countrY
though this matter is, we believe, as yet undecided. The
vessels, it is expected; witl leave Liverpool about May neat.

, ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

IN THE MATTER OF BARKERS CHARITY.
JUDGMENT.

His Honour the MASTER of the ROLLS gave judgment
this morning in this case, which came before the Court upon
petition, praying the appointment of a new trustee under the
Ist William IV. By settlement, a. considerable trust fund
in Three per Cent. Bank Annuities was vested in trustees,
one of whom having declined to act, and there being no
power given in the settlement for the appointment of a new
trustee, the present petition was presented, the parties contend..
ing that under the 10th section the Court had the power. Hia
Honour had read the Act very carefully, and did not consider
himself authorised to comply with the prayer of the petition
without the filing of a bilL
GYHAN V. BUTT.

The COURT also gave judgment in this case, which, in its
circumstances, was extremely similar to the preceding case.
The petitioners were the persons equitably entitled for life and
remainder, under a will, to a leasehold messuage in Bond.
street, held under the Corporation of the city of London.
The Corporation were willing to renew the lease, many
years of which were at the present moment unex-
pired, on the old lease being surrendered to them. The
executor of the surviving trustee, under the will, refused to
surrender the lease, or act as a trustee ; and the present petition
prayed for the appointment of a new trustee. The question
with the Court was whether that could be done under the ninth
section of the Act without a bill, which his Honour was clearly
of opinion it could not, the words in the clause applying only
to a surrender pro hoc rice.
