LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 1, 1832.

Up to two o'clock this afternoon, no public
accounts had been received either at the French
or the Belgian Embassy from Antwerp. The
non-arrival of news has excited much surprise.
It was stated in some of the French Papers
which arrived yesterday, that the King of
SPAIN had recovered his health, and resumed
the direction of public affairs. Nothing official
to confirm this statement has been received at
the Foreign-office, or by Prince TALLEYRAND.

A Morning Paper states that Lord PAL-
MERSTON is about to recognise the Portuguese
Regency. We wish we could confirm this
piece of intelligence, but we cannot find that
matters have proceeded so far as to justify the
statement. Lord PALMERSTON has, indeed,
expressed great indignation at the conduct of
the Miguelites ; and the communications
from Spain by removing the chief obstacle as-
signed for the non-recognition in the first in-
stance, afford our Government a fair oppor-
tunity of asserting its own dignity and fulfil-
ling the spirit of the treaties by which we are
bound to the House of Braganza, without the
necessity of any reference to the continental
Powers, who ought not indeed to be permitted
to exercise the slightest influence on the Por-
tuguese question. It is well known that the
Cabinet has been for some time divided on
this interesting subject, and that Lord PAL-
MERSTON has frequently expressed himself
willing to recognise the Regency, insinuating,
however, that there were obstacles to that course
in the Cabinet, over which he had no control.
We believe au attempt was even made to
throw the blame of non-recognition upon Lord
BROUGHAM, and the agents of Don PEDRO
in this country for a long time suffered under
that delusion. It is due to the character of
the Noble Lord alluded to to state, that he
was the first Member of the Cabinet to whom
Don PEDRO applied for assistance on his ar-
rival in this country, and that so far from
meeting with the slightest repulse, the gallant
officer, Sir JOAN MILLET DOYLE, who con-
veyed to Lord BROUGHAM the wishes of the
EMPEROR, experienced a warm reception, and
left the Noble Lord with a full conviction
of his great anxiety to put an end to the infamous
system of misrule in Portugal. That Lord
BROUGHAM was sincere, does not, we think,
admit of a moment's doubt ; for, looking at the
entire conduct of that Nobleman, since his acces-
sion to power, we find in it abundant proofs of
generous and liberal feeling. Neither would we
say that Lord PALMERSTON was insincere, but
we cannot help observing that if he had been as
anxious to find an excuse for interfering in
favour of I)ou PEDRO, as he appears to have
been to find reasons for maintaining the non-
intervention system, the events of the last twelve
months would have furnished him with many
motives for the assumption of a more dignified
course. It is rather extraordinary that the

Minister who has discovered so many reasons
For interfering between Holland and Belgium,
could find none for interrupting the reign of, the
monster of Portugal.
Whilst on this subject, we may notice the
contradiction made a few days ago by a Treasury
print, to our assertion, that the French Govern-
ment had, through Prince TALLEYRAND, inti-
mated a desire to see something done for the
cause of Don PEDRO. We repeat, upon no
slight authority, that Prince TALLEYRAND has
earnestly exerted himself in every possible way
in favour of the Regency.

An express has been received from Paris this
I morning, bringing the papers of Thursday and
the Messager des Chambers, dated yesterday.
Their contents are of very little interest, being prin-
cipally filled with comments on the result of the
Belgian question, and the Address to the
Throne. The Carlist and Revolutionary Jour.
nals accuse M. DUPIN of truckling to the Doc-
trinnaires and Juste Milieu, as he has declared
that sooner than see France in a state of anarchy
again, he would consent to join the Ministry of
Marshal SOULT.

A Cabinet Council, at which all the Ministers
were present, was held on Thursday, in con-
sequence of a very important telegraphic de-
spatch, received from Marshal GERARD,
announcing that the citadel of Antwerp had
been summoned ; but that General CHASSE
positively declared that he would sooner reduce
the city to ashes, and blow up the citadel, than
surrender. The bombardment was imme-
diately to take place. Marshal GERARD has, it is
confidently asserted, intimated that he must
resign the command of the army, if the French
troops were not allowed to take possession of the
city, so as to carry his plan of attack into execu-
tion. The whole of the heavy artillery was
under the walls of Antwerp, but the Belgian
Government was opposed to any operations taking
place from the city side. This misunderstanding,
it is feared, may lead to a very unfavourable re-
sult, as the troops began to feel disappointed.
Extraordinary expresses were, immediately after
the deliberation of the Council, sent off to King
LEOPOLD and Marshal GERARD. Important
news from the army was hourly expected at Paris.
The Funds were not much affected by this in-
telligence, as it was fully expected. They
closed at Wednesday's quotations. Paris con-
tinues tranquil ; but the greatest anxiety is felt
for the result of this war against Holland.

The Dutch papers, of the 28th, contain a
Royal message from the King of HOLLAND to
the States• General, announcing the calling out
of the landstrum. The character of this mes-
sage is of the old, unleaven grain of stubborn-
ness. Up to Thursday the citadel of Antwerp
had not been summoned, but preparations were
actively going on among the French. Copious
extracts respecting these matters will be found in
another part of The Sun.

VICE CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

BY FIELD V. PROVIS.

Mr. RUSSELL was heard on behalf of the defendant
to-day, on this part-heard case, and Sir EDWARD SUGDEN
replied. The bill was filed for the specified performance
of an agreement for a lease, and the question on the cause
chiefly depended upon the fact of partnership, or no part-
nership, and also upon certain matters of account totally
devoid of any interest whatever to the public.
His HONOUR decreed the specific performance with costs.

KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

HILL V. COIIBE, ESQ.

Sir JAMES SCARLETT stated the case for the plaintiff.
It was an action brought by the plaintiff, Ann Hill, to re-
cover a compensation in damages from the Sheriff of Surrey
and his assistants, for an assault and false imprisonment.
The defendant had pleaded that the plaintiff had personated
another person, against whom a writ had been issued, and
placed in their bands to be executed.

- It appeared from the plaintiff's witnesses that the plain.
tiff was a set vant to Colonel Wyndham, who resided at
Merton. In July, 1831, she had occasion to go to a
poulterer's shop at Tooting, about a mile and a half
distant, and was driven there by the Colonel's groom. In
going there, a gig, with two men in it, was observed fol-
lowing, and they all arrived at the poulterer's shop toge-
ther. One of the men then got out of the gig, and accosting
the plaintiff, asked her " if she lived with Cul.Wyndham ?"
She replied she did, and one of them (an officer of the
Sheriff of Surrey) produced a writ and took her to town.
It also appeared that Colonel Wyndham bad a Spanish
lady, Madame Cassagne, living under his protection, who
had some time before lived with a person named Le Clerc,
until be became reduced in circumstances. Colonel Wynd-
ham allowed Madame Cassagne a sum of money to distribute
among distressed persons, and among them was this
Le Clerc, whom she was at last obliged to refuse to assist
any further, from the frequent demands made by him upon
her. Le Clerc afterwards swore to a debt of 2001. as
owing to him by Madame Cassagne, and the writ being
put into the hands of two officers of the Sheriff of Surrey,
named Richard and John Cox, it was executed upon the
plaintiff by mistake for Madame Cassagne in the manner
before &scribed.

The case had proceeded at some length, when, in con-
sequence of the absence of a material witness to prove an
important part of the case, Sir J. SCARLETT consented to
a nonsuit.

Extract from the Agent to Lloyd's at St. Petersburgh,
dated Nov. 13 :—" Our river navigation is at an end ;
the bridge was carried away by the ice the day before yes.
terday. The frost has been pretty severe, and it is to be
apprehended that several British ships must winter, and
farther arrivals are very doubtful. The water has been
low for several days past, and the wind from the east-
ward. Nov. 14.—1 make the following to be the British
ships remaining at Cronstadt, as not advised as having

well, White; Confidence, Windt; Lara, Buddie; Crown,

stadt on Sunday by a gentleman, who left Oraneinbautn
on Wednesday morning. He saw several vessels off the
Molebead, which could not make progess on account of
the calm."

PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 29.—The Royal Adelaide trans-
port, which attempted to take out 40 horses for Don
Pedro, returned this morning with the loss of nearly or
quite half of them, not having been able to get into
Oporto, in consequence of the fire of the battery Miguel
has erected on the point at the south entrance of the
river. The Adelaide arrived off the port on the 15th,
and left it on the 22,1, during the whole of which time
she had no communication with the city or any of Don
Pedro's officers ; she attempted to enter the river on the
19th, with the Raven man-of. war cutter, and two cutters
laden with stores and recruits for Don Pedro ; but 26
well.directed shots from Don Miguel's battery, and at the
same time a cross-fire from a battery on the north point,
which they could not tell whether it belonged to Pedro or
Miguel, warned them all to return, and no other opportu-
nity offered for their going in. Nothing was seen of
Sartorius's squadron, or of the English squadron. The
Adelaide heard from a Portuguese pilot, whom they were
obliged to run away with, that Pedro had made a sortie
on the 17th, which was crowned with brilliant success ;
but, brilliant as it may be, it had not opened the entrance
of the Douro, or raised its blockade five days afterwards,—
in fact, he must be in a bad plight.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Bombay papers, to July 8, have been received at the
North and South American Coffee-house. Accounts from
Madras state that some disturbances had taken place at Viz
canagarum, but we are unable to give the particulars as yet.
The 3d regiment will, however, embark on board the ships
Neptune and Royal William, to sail for the above place.
The papers the state they have heard, with much re-
gret, of serious disturbances at Cuddapah, where Charles
Macdonald, of the civil service, was wounded by the infu-
riated moormen.

NDIGO. —Another public sale of damaged chests took
place.

OPIUM.-We know of no transactions, and believe that
those last reported were not real. The accounts from Bom-
bay, coupled with those from Canton, are discouraging to
speculation.
COTTON. —SAles for local demand only, but extensive
arrivals may now be expected.
