FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Journal des J)ebats of Sunday.)
ST. PF.TERSBURGIT, JULY 16.--We are informed by
the English Papers of the mission of Lord Durham. At
first it caused some sensation on 'Change ; our merchants
are always alarmed when negociations with England are
talked of: they consider the English as almost their only
antagonists, and suspect them of seizing every opportunity
to embarrass and to check its increasing prosperity. They,
therefore, beheld with a degree of pleasure the appearance
of intestine troubles excited by the Reform Bill ; nay, com-
mercial speculations were founded on the expected propaga-
tion of these troubles. Some of our great houses will pay
dearly for this false speculation. The Government is in no
wise embarrasse,l by the mission of Lord Durham ; it knows
very well the injury that would ensue from the interruption
of commerce between the two nations would be reciprocal,
and deeply felt by both. It is known, besides, that the
mission of Lord Durham is not insulting to the Emperor;
on the contrary, it proves the confidence of the English
Cabinet in ours. There is no reason to suppose that it
concerns, in any manner whatever, our internal affairs, as
foreign journals would have us believe. The choice of the
Noble Lord for this mission may seem strange at this mo-
ment, considering his well-known political sentiments;
hut there is nothing in this mission and in its object to
cause surprise or alarm. It is designed for the interest
of Europe, and for the consolidation of the system of
peace, which is desired here as it is everywhere else. It is
thought that the domestic afflictions which have lately
befallen Lord Durham induced Earl Grey to divert his
mind by employment, and with this view to give him the
proposed mission to St. Petersburgh.
The Imperial Family is going to leave the capital.
PARIS, AUG. 4.—The Nouvelliste of yesterday evening
says, that no despatch has arrived from the liberating
army in Portugal; that private letters from Lisbon de-
scribe the city as plunged into consternation. No boat,
no: even a fishing- smack, can navigate in the Tagus.
The inhabitants are obliged to be home at six o'clock, at
which hour the shops are closed. Lisbon awaits with
impatience the cessation of a state of things which grows
intolerable. Various reports are in circulation ; those re-
lative to Don Pedro are very favourably received. The
Nouvelliste, which gives an article from Madrid, of the
26th, with official accounts from Portugal to the 21st, which
confirm, says the article, all the reports already sent to us
on the tranquillity that the kingdom enjoys, and which is
only equalled by the enthusiasm that all the inhabitants
show for his Majesty Dan Miguel, to whom they give
the most unequivocal proofs of their attachment.

We understand that the arrival of the Mar•
quis PALIMELLA. has created a considerable sensation
among the foreign corps diplosnatique. The Marquis is
known to possess the entire confidence of his Imperial
Master, and his mission is said to be 9t great importance.
We have been informed that, at a late hour on Monday
evening, he had an interview with Viscount PALMER-
STON, at the Foreign Office, which lasted an hour and a
half ; after which the Marquis had a long and confidential
conversation with the venerable CoNDE DE FUNCHAL,
DONNA MARIA'S accredited Minister to eur Court, on
the state of Portugal since the landing of Don PEDRO at
Oporto. The Marquis PALMELLA is staying at an hotel
in Grosvenor-street. The Marchioness, we believe, is still
at St. Michael's, with the Countess VILLA Rott.

DEATH OF SIR JOAN TYRRELL.—On the
morning of Friday last, this worthy and universally re•
opected Baronet, after a short but severe afliction, died at
his seat, Boreham House. lie was in the 71st year of his
age.—Essex -Herald.

SUDDEN DEATH OF LIEUT.-GENERAL
SIR CHARLES BRUCE.—yesterday afternoon, about three
o'clock, a stout, middle-aged gentleman was observed walk-
ing down St. Martin's-lane; when near St. Martin's-
court he suddenly staggered and reeled about, which at-
tracted the notice of the passengers, who ran to his assis-
tance, and caught him as he was in the act of falling. The
unfortunate gentleman, who was quite speechless, was im-
mediately carried into the surgery of Mr. BAINBRIDGE,
situated at the corner of the above-named court, where an
attempt was made to bleed him, but all in vain, as the un-
fortunate gentleman proved to be quite dead. The body
was then conveyed ti St. Martin's poor-house, and was
shortly afterwards recognised to be that of Lieut.-General
Sir CHARLES BRUCE, of Beckenham, in Kent. He had
been only a few days in town, and was staying at the Old
Hummums Hotel, Covent-garden. The General was about
forty years of age, and a remarkably tall fine-looking man.
It was presumed that I.e died of apoplexy. An inquest
was held in the evening on the body, and we understand
the verdict was, Died by the visitation of God.

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 8, 1832,

At ten minutes before two o'clock this day
his MAJESTY arrived in a travelling carriage
and four from Windsor Castle, at St. James's
Palace, accompanied by Sir ANDREW BAR-
NARD, the Equerry in waiting. The Royal
carriage was escorted by a party of the
14th Light Dragoons from Hounslow bar-
racks. Shortly after his MAJESTY held a
Court and Levee, which, as far as we could
judge, was more numerously attended than the
last. His MAJESTY will return to Windsor at
half-past six o'clock.

This forenoon a number of the Members o
;he House of Commons had an interview with

Earl GREY at his residence in D-o-w—n-i.n.orr--.s.tr-e-e-1

The Royal Assent was last night given by
Commission in the House of Lords to the Irish
Reform and Boundary Bills. Thus that great
measure is at length fully accomplished, which for
upwards of eighteen long wearying months has
kept the kingdom, from one extremity to the other,
in a constant state of agitation. The constitution,
according to the Ultras, is now fairly dead, coffined,
buried. Reform has driven the gout into its stomach,
and killed it. When, however, we bear in mind
that this same Constitution has been killed not
less than three several times, first by the Test
Acts ; secondly, by Catholic Emancipation ;
thirdly, by Reform ; it will not surprise us to
find the Ultras declaring next Session that it
is still alive and in the best possible condition, to
be put to death a fourth time. The Reform
Bill, we repeat, is now law ; yet here we are
just as happy and prosperous ai if it had
never passed. His MAJESTY has even given
his Royal sanction to it, vet no earthquake has
signalized the disastrous act ; there has been no
convulsion on the part either of men or elements ;
London is not swallowed up, neither has the
sky fallen. Very odd ; especially when those
Cassandras, the Ultras, pledged their reputation
for wisdom that it would be otherwise. But pass-
ing these, and all such minor matters, we have
now only to request the people to take care that
they turn Reform to fitting account, by insti-
tuting a searching scrutiny into the characters
and professions of those who propose themselves
as candidates for their suffrages in the ensuing
Parliament. This is the cardinal point on which
every eye should be fixed. Reform is either a
positive good, or a positive nullity, just as the
people apply it well or ill.

The Chancery Offices Abolition Bill Was read
a third time last night in the House of Lords,
and passed, after Lord ELDON, as usual, had
expressed his apprehensions of an extensive and
sudden change in the mode of administering
Justice. Had the Bill in question been one to

perpetuate the abuses of the present system,
not a word would this good old Earl
have said about its extent and suddeness,

It would then have been all that mortal states.
men c-)uld desire. But because it errs on the
wrong side of the sinecure system, because it has
lot its object the good of the suitors, as well as
of the community at large, therefore it is exten-
sive and sudden. Lord ELDON'S notion of a
perfect Chancery Improvement Bill seems to be,
that it should concede as little as possible to the
suppliant for justice, and as much as possible to
him who dispenses it.

Colonel EVANS again brought forward the
question of Poland in the House of Commons
last night, and reflected with appropriate feeling
and energy on the wrongs which that heroic
country had received at the hands of the Russians.
The Hon. and Gallant Member's motion on the
subject was finally lost, Lord PALNIERSTON
having moved the previous question, but not
before Sir F. BURDETT had delivered one of
those manly, straight-forward speeches which so
well become him and the cause he advocates.

We are sorry to find that Lord ALTHORP
has abandoned his intention of passing a Bill to
allow electors further time to pay their rates.
The opposition made to it by those who have
opposed every clause favourable to the people,
and the averment by that party that it was con-
trary to the law and usage of Parliament, are the
only grounds, as far as we can judge, for his
Lordship's conduct. That it is not contrary to
the law is evident from a number of si-
milar cases having occurred during the last cen-
tury ; and though it may not be usual, yet the
injustice which the defective clause of the Bill
entails on a vast number of respectable electors,
would be a sufficient ground for going out of
the usual track of Parliamentary proceedings.
The non-payment of the rates has not arisen
from inability to pay, or from any want of atten-
tion to the discussions in Parliament, for it ap-
pears many of those who have not qualified be-
long to the higher classes. The glaring fact
alone, that the whole of Russell- square is excluded
by this clause of the Bill would warrant the
Legislature i❑ passing a remedial measure ; but
in addition to that, we find by returns made, that
in several parishes of Westminster, not one-half,
in some instances not one-third, and in the
parish of illarylebone not one-fourth of the rate-
payers are now qualified to vote at the next election.
In country parishes the number will probably be
still greater, but taking the average to be the
same, some even of the new boroughs (putting
the boroughs in schedule B out of the question)
will be little better than close Corporations.
Frame, for instance, with a population of 12,000,
contains only 400 qualifying tenements, and

taking into account the number of these occu-
pied by females, and calculating that not more
than one-fourth hive paid their rates, the
whole electoral body will but amount to 100.
Kidderminster, Whitby, and Kendal are nearly
in the same state, and some of the boroughs in
schedule B will not have even half that number
With these facts before them, and with the
knowledge that the proposed alteration would
only be in perfect accordance with the spirit
and tenour of the Reform Bill, we put it to
Ministers whether the clamours of the Anti-
Reformers ought to weigh with them for one
moment in doing this act of justice.

German and Brussels Papers have been re-
ceived. The following are extracts
:
FRANKFORT, JULY 28, —Last Wednesday morning an
extraordinary sitting of the Diet was convoked by the Pre-
sident. it is said to have been in consequence of the long
conference which the President had with the Duke of
Saxe Coburg when he passed through Frankfort, on his
way to visit his brother, King Leopold. If this be true,
we may suppose the Diet was engaged in the sitting with
the affairs of Belgium and Holland, on the final decision
of which it will have to bear an important part. We
hear a ❑ew protocol of the Diet spoken of, the object of
which is said to be to give satisfactory explanations of
same passages in the protocol of the 2Sth of June.

A private express from Paris was received
this morning in the city. The unsettled state
of Belgium had caused a trifling fall in the
funds. Several regiments have been ordered to
march towards the south of France, to watch
the movements of the Spanish troops, or cordon
sanitaire, which is now formed along the line of
the Pyrenees. The Duke of ORLEANS was on
the point of taking a tour into the western de-
partments of La Vendee, to try what influence his
presence may have among the Chouans and the
Carlist party. Great preparations were making in
the Palace of the Tuileries for the departure of the
KING and the Princess LOUISE for Compiegne,
where the nuptials are to take place between this
amiable Princess and King LEOPOLD of Bel-
gium, on the 9th instant. The latest news re-
ceived in Paris from Don PEDRO'S expedition
is up to the 30th ult.: at that time he was for-
tifying Oporto.
The Minister of War, Marshal SOULT, had
received orders to have a guard of honour placed
at the hotel of Queen Donna MARIA, in the
Rue de Courcelles. This mark of attention on
the part of Government is a proof of its intention
to acknowledge the Regina de facto of Por-
tugal. News from Oporto was looked forward
to with much interest.

We have accounts from Calcutta to the 17th
March. The commercial advices state the In-
digo imports for the season 1831-32, up to the
7th March, at 1.19, 533, 29.10. The demand
in the Calcutta Market for fine Jaconets and
Mediums continued, but without any advance in
price. The heavy stocks were, however, gradu-
ally reducing, and if, as was expected, the im-
portations should also become less, it was thought
prices would advance. About 20,000 pieces
had been sold during the week ending the Bth
of March. Preight continued at six to seven
guineas, and but little available. The only ar-
ticle of the slightest interest in the Calcutta
Papers is an account of the insurrection of the
Coles having been entirely put down.

A sister of HEBERLE, the principal dancer al
the King's Theatre, died on Monday evening of cholera.

COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

FREEMAN V. FAIRLIE.

This long litigated case has been at last brought to a
conclusion by arrangement between the parties. One
married woman, of the name of Smith, is to have about
.20,0001., and some difficulty arose as to the proper mode of
having that money settled before it was put into her hand.
The hu-band of Mrs. Smith (who there was somedifficulty
in tnanaging) agreed to leave the nature of the settlement
to the Solicitor-General and Sir Edward Sugden. Ten
thousand pounds, it was then arranged, should be settled
on the wife and children, and the remainder be paid to
her at once, to do with it as she pleased.
The LORD CHANCELLOR. took her consent in Court.
nr.nroan CHARITY.

The Court proceeded to hear the Counsel in this matter,
which occupied all yesterday. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN ex-
pressed his confidence that this petition, from the length of
it, and from the number of counsel employed in it, could
not cost less than 1,0001. ! He considered that he would
be able to satisfy the Court the petition would have to be
dismissed with costs.

VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

SPECIAL INJUNCTION.-CASE V. C•SE.

Mr. CHANDLESS applied ex parte for a special injunc-
tion in this case to restrain the defendant, who is the bus•
band of the plaintiff, from selling certain furniture, plate,
and china. The application was made upon the affidavit
of the plaintiff, from which it appeared that she was mar-
ried to the defendant in October, 1802, by whom she had
ten children, seven of whom were now living. That
about seven years ago, in consequence of the ill treatment
of her husband, the plaintiff left him, and he now lived
with another woman, by whom he had a large family.
By the testamentary disposition of the plaintiff's mother,
she became entitled, to her separate use, to certain sums of
money, which, for the benefit of her children, she assigned
to trustees. Since the period of the separation, she had
provided for the whole of her children, and with the in-
terest of this money, and through the kindness of friends,
had furnished the house in which she lived. The defendant
had executed a bill of sale to a person named Walden, who,
on the 24th of July, in the present year, while the plaintiff
was from home on a visit at the house of a friend, removed
the whole of the effects from her house, and threatened to
sell it under the bill of sale, unless he was restrained from

doing so.
His HONOUR immediately granted the injunctio❑
restraining the sale.
