GERMAN PAPERS.

FR4NKFORT, Nov. 22.—The Courier de Smyrne
of the 27th of September, has some observations
on the prohibition nf Russia to export corn to
Turkey, which measure, it says, will be more dis-
advantageous to the enemy than to the Turks, and
that the project of starving Constantinople, which
is full of Christians, is unworthy of a Christian Go-
vernment.—Journal de Frankfurt, Nov. 23. •
The Prussian State Gazette of the 22d, Austrian
Observer of the 17th, Nuremburg Correspondent,
and Allgenzeine Zeitung of the 218 t, and St. Peters-
burgh Gazette of the 11th, have no news from the
theatre of war.

-CORFU, OCT,. 31.—A division of the French
army in the Morea, consisting of 4,000 men, has
commenced its march without delay to Negropont
and Athens, in order to take possession of those
places, either l4y force or by negotiations. The Am-
bassadors of London,
_Paris, and St. Petersburgh,
have delivered a declaration to Count Capo d'lstria,
in which they acquaint him, that considering that
the Porte firmly refuses to take any part in the paci-
fication of Greece, " the determination of the fron-
tiers of Greece will be immediately decided, with-
orut the intervention of the Porte; and that the
French troops were to give up the fortresses of the
Morea to the troops to be sent by Coinit Capo
d'lstria, as soon as he wishes it."
SMYRNA, OCT. 18.—We learn by accounts from
Alexandria, that. Ibrahim Pacha had arrived there,
after a prosperous voyage of ten days, and had been
received in the kindest manner by his father, the
Viceroy.. We have not yet heard any thing of the
blockade of the Dardanelles by the Russian squadron.
TIFLIS, OCT. 2l.—After the decisive defeat
which the Turks sustained before Akhalzik, the fu.
gitive remains of the defeated troops disperse& in
the direction of Erzeroum, and all the efforts of the
enemy are baffled. They began to rally about Er-
zeroum, on which account our troops entered the
Pachalil: of Kars, where they remained till the 17th
of October. About this time the cold increased to
six degrees. The winter has begun in these elevated
countries, and obliged the troops to go into winter-
quarters. General Paskewitsch has duly provided
for their maintenance, left garrisons in the fortresses,
and arrived at Tiflis on the 17th of October. Thus
this campaign against the Turks in Asia is con-
cluded-._a campaign in which we have conquered
three Pachaliks, six fortresses, and two strong castles.
There is every reason to suppose that the Turks
will not undertake any thing important in this sea-
son, though the castle of Toprak-kale, in the Pa-
of Bajazet, is 10-Wersts from Erzeroum.

STOCKHOLM, NOY. 14.—The Diet is to be opened
to-morrow. The number of members of the estate
()tithe peasantry in this Diet is 119; last Diet it
was 134. The reason is,, that several districts have
chosen the same deputy. The deputies of the cities
are 41 only, because three, five, my six towns have
concurred in the choice of the sans deputy. The
estate of the clergy has 57, and that of the nobility
275 members ; and if, as may be expected, f;.O or 60
new deputies should come froethe provinces, the
Chamber of Nobility will not be so numerous as on
former occasions.

ANEcDoTE.—The following anecdote was
related to us by a nephew of Dr. WALCOTT, now resident
in this city, who was knowing to the circumstances. We
transcribe them with great pleasure, as they' have not
been published, and served to throw additional light on the
character of that great man ":—When the Doctor, better
known as Peter Pindar, was very old, be had lost the
sight of one eye entirely, and the other was nearly obscured
by cataract ; and a surgeon of considerable eminence re.
peatedly urged him to submit to the operation of couching.
The Doctor asked his nephew what he would advise.
;' Oh ! Doctor," said he, " at You; time of life I would
tint think of undergoing so uncertain and painful an ope-
ration." The Doctor appeared to coincide ; but a few
days after this gentleman called in and found the Doctor
with a bandage round his head, writhing and groaning
svith great agony. " For Heaven's sake, Doctor, what is
the matter ?" "Oh ! don't you think that surgeon iris
been here and poked my eye out !" "Is it
you consented to an operation ?" " Yes, lie persuaded me io
have a trial made upon the worst eye ; but either. I moved
or the instrument slipped, and be thrust it through, so as
to let out all the fluids." Without any impatience or com-
plaining he endured the pain, and never expressed any
thing like acrimony. When the surgeon called again and
requested liberty to operate upon the remaining eye, lie
exclaimed with a voice of thunder—" No, Sir, a farthing
rush-light is better than no light at all."•:.New Orleans

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 28, 1828,

By German Papers, received this morning, it
appears that the Emperor of RUSSIA has been
pleased, on the represeqtation of the Governor-
General, to approve of the formation of a school
for the Oriental languages at Odessa, and to
assign a sum of 10,000 rubles annually from the
Imperial Treasury for its support. The Gover-
nor-General is also authorised to take from the
Revenue of Odessa and Bessarabia a sum of
4,000 rubles, to be employed in the support of
the establishment.

American Papers have been received at the
North and South American Coffee-house to the
9th of November. Their contents are principally
occupied with the approaching election to the
Presidency. According to the New York
Papers, General JACKSON has no chance of
succeeding. The elections in that State are
entirely in favour of Mr. ADAMS, and such is
said to be the case in the other States, so far as
they have proceeded.

Hamburgh and Flanders Papers to the 22d
inst. have been received, extracts from which will
be found in another column. It is said in an
article from Corfu, that a division of the French
army in the Morea, consisting of 4,000 men, has
gone to take possession of Athens and Negro-
pont—but this is not believed. The French
army may think that the reduction of the Morea
is hardly doing enough for the Greeks, and that
as they are on the spot, they may as well finish
the business by entirely liberating Greece. But
to this desire the other Powers, parties to the
Treaty of London, may have some weighty ob-
jections.

The Russian Campaign in Asia, like that ia
Europe, has been closed : the army of General
PASKEWITSCII has gone into winter quarters,
and himself returned to Tiflis. The result of
the campaign is described as the conquest of three
pachaliks, six fortresses, and two strong castles.

Frankfort Papers contradict the reported fall
of Silistria, on the ground that letters from Bu-
charest of the 27th October make no mention of
the circumstance :

PETERSIILIRCIT, NOV. 10.
fils Majesty the Emperor was pleased to address the
. _ _

following rrsc;ipt to Prince Menzikoff on the 13th Oct. :
Prince Alexander Serguevitsch-,The siege of Varna,
which you commenced and directed with equal firm-
ness and prudence, has just been happily termi-
nated. It was by following the Van which you laid
down that our troops had subdued that fortress, which
was never before conquered. The severe wound which
,you received in the midst of your exploits did not
allow you to be witness of the success which you
had prepared. But I am equally sensible of
the share which is justly due to you in the fresh glory
acquired by the Russian arms, and I will make you a
present of one of the cannon taken at Varna, desiring that
this mark of my especial regard shall be a memorial of the
service you perfotmed (luring the siege of Varna, and
which led to the taking of that fortress.

The Journal de St. Petersburgle contains also the re-
gulation for the mourning for the late l7,7npress Dowager.
His Majesty has also appointed a Commission to regulate
the funeral ceremonies, and assigned 1)0,000 rubles for the
expenses of the Commission.

A meeting of the Catholic Association was
held on Tuesday last, at which Mr. SIIEIL de-
clined the public dinner that had been pro-
posed to him, on the plea that it might inter-
fere with the dinner intended to be given to

cussed the question of a Deputation to Eng-
land, but nothing final was resolved on.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.

IN THE MATTER OF SIR THOMAS LEDGER, A LUNATIC.

. _
Mr. LYNCH was instructed on behalf of all the
creditors of Sir Thomas Ledger to make an applica-
tion in this matter. When the Commission issued,
Sir Thomas was very considerably indebted ; the
debts had since been paid off by instalments, and
the prayer now was, that the creditors might be al-
lowed the costs incurred by them of going in before
the Master to prove their debts. Lord Hardwicke
had made such an order in a similar case; but for
the present, the Learned Counsel was willing to
take an order of reference to the Master, to enquire
whether this was a fit case for such an order to be
made in.

BLAKEMORE V. OT.AMOROANSIIIRY CANAL COMPANY.
The arguments in this case were renewed at the
sitting of the Court, and again occupied the morning.

VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
INJUNCTION.-BOND U. HALL

Mr. SWAN moved that an attachment might issue
against Mrs. Frances Bond, for having disobeyed an
injunction of the Court, issued on the 27th of last
October. It appeared, that upon the death of An-
thony Bond, the landlord of the Rising Suit public
house, in Windmill-street, Haymarket, the defendant,
Mrs. Hall, took possession of the business, under a
will, by which the testator, Bon J, made her his general
legatee. The authenticity of this will was subsequently
disputed,and a suit has been instituted for the purpose
of proving that it was a forgery. Under these cir-
cumstances his Honour granted an injunction to pre-
vent Mrs. Bond from interfering in any respect with
the testator's property. It was now stated, in sup-
port of the application for the attachment, that
the receiver appointed by the Court was turned
out of the house, or at least was induced to
leave it, in consequence of the threats of " Ben
Burn," the pugilist, who came to the assist-
ance of Mrs. Bond, and who was sworn to be a man
of a violent temper and of powerful body. It was
further stated that Mrs. Bond was now in full occu-
pation and enjoyment of the receipts and profits of
the " Rising Sun."
Mr. TEED, in answer to those charges, had affida-
vits setting forth, among other things, that when a
copy of the injunction was served upon her, the
clerk of the plaintiff's attorney, said, " Now, Mrs.
Bond, we have got you." He, moreover, came at-
tended by Bow-street officers, and required the keys
of her trunks, and at the same time told her he
would immediately take her to the Fleet Prison, if
she refused to do as he required. With respect to
the charge of interfering with the business of the
house, Mrs. Bond declared that under the ma-
nagement of the receiver, Mr. George Wood,
the business was so fast declining, that in
a short time they would have had none to care of
if she had not, with his concurrence, resumed the
management. Then the receiver was in the habit
of staying out for several hours of a day, and was
always from home on a Sunday. These and other
particulars, in which it was sail that Mr, Austen,
the livery-stable-keeper, could have corroborated
Mrs. Hall, induced the Vice-Chancellor to refuse the
application.
