NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

flown:won/Ir, Dec. 9.—The Brazen, 'Geo. Willa►, returned
from the Coast of Africa, whither she conveyed, in October, 1825,
Captaini Clapperton and' Pearce, R.N., and Drs. Morrison and
Dickson, on their mission of discovery into the interior of Africa.
- We learn, by the Brazen, of a gallant; decisive, and successful
defence 'made by a prize vessel, commatuled 4lr. 8.. B. Craw-
ford, Admiralty Mate of the Esk, carrying one gen,. against a pi-
ratical .vessel of 10 guns, which she heat off after two hour' se-
vere contest..

Sute-nomniNc.—The Royal George, of 120 guns, building
at Chatham, is ordered to be finished with all possible speed, that
a two-decked ship, which it to carry 100 guns, may be laid down,
on the same slip.. This vessel, being of a new class, will carry 18'
guns on. a side, on•the lower and min decks, awl 14 on a side on
the quarter-deck and forecastle, 36 or .42 pounders. The Water-
loo, of 120 gem, building, is directed to hairs) a foot more; beam
than:the Regent,,of the same rate, has ; and the Royal George, to
effect: the same increase,. is ordered to haVe her bends taken off, and
to be replaced with plank six inches thicker. .In another ship
this object has been attained by adding nice inches on each side to
the thickniss of the frame timbers, before the outside planking was
put on, by which the breadth was effected; but it gave no advantage
of space in the lower decks, which could only have been attained
by originally laying the ship down on a greater and necessary
breadth of beam.

A letter from an Officer. of his Majesty's. ship Rose, dated'
Garden Bay, Seio, September Iti, states that that ship, in com-
pany with his Majesty's ship •Cambrian, had just captured, two
Greek pirates; tine ,laden with gunpowder, the other with 80,000
piastres, 30 bales.of raw silk, 30 packages of saffron, a bag of.
pearls, and various other .valuable articles of merchandise..

MIS MAJESTY'S" MESSAGE.

:This afternoon His MAJEs*liitittaown, the fol-
lowink-Meisage to both Holitiei of Parliament :

GF,OR011: R.

His INIAJPiTY acquaints the House of Lords and Commons,

that His MAJESTY has received an earnest application from the
Princess Regent of POIUTUGAT, claiming, in virtue of the
ancient obligations of Alliance and Amity subsisting between His
lastsvir and the *-Crown of Portugal, His 111.4,1CSTV'S aid
against an hostile aggression from Spain.

His MAJasTv bas'exerted himself for some time past, in con-
junction With His Maiswry's Ally, the King of France, to
prevent awl an'aggression ; and repeated assurances have been
given by the Court 'of Madrid, of the determination of His
Catholick MAJESTY, neither to commit, nor to allow to becom-
'flitted, from His Catholic!: Manisres Territory, any aggression

against Portugal.,
But His MAJESTY has learnt, with deep concern, that, not-
withstanding these assurances, hostile Inroads into the Territory
of Portugal have been concerted in Spain, and have been
executed under the eyes of Spanish Authorities by Portuguese
Regiments, which had deserted into Spain, and which the Spanish
Government had repeatedly and solemnly engaged to &Warm end

to disperse.
His MAJEsnt leaves no effort unexhausted to awaken the
Spanish GOvernMent to the dangerous consequencis of this ap-
parent connivance.'
'His NAJIEBTY unites this' communication to the House of
Lords and Gammons, with the full and entire confidence
that the House of Lords and His' Faithful Commons, will
afford to His INIAsEsTe their cordial concurrence and support in
maintaining the Faith of Treaties, and in securing against Foreign
Hostility the Safety aialndependence of the Kingdom 'of Por-
tugal, the oldest Ally of Great Britain.
O.R.

Upon the Message being read in the Commons,'
Sir, ROBERT 'WILSON rose and said, , that as His
MAJESTY'S Message had superseded hiS Motion, he
begged.leave to withdraw . it. lie hoped, however,
that Ministers would act up to the full spirit of the

occasion.

We have received by express, late this afternoon,
the 'Nile, dated yesterday morning. ft is, however,
barren of political news, not containing one word of
authentic intelligence relative to Portugal.
Among the, assertions of other Papers, which it
classes as lies of the day, are a report that Lieu-
tenant General Count BURKE is going to, Spain ;
-that the neutrality of - the' French Ministers, re-
sheeting - the affairs of Spain, is a chimera; and
that the English Government is going to embark
b,OOO men for Portugal.
The French Fund* have declined ; the five' per Cents. left off
on Saturday evening at 091. tiOe., and the three per Ceuta. et ti9l.

The news which we exclusively announced from
Lisbon on Saturday, of the actual Invasion of Portu-
gal by the Royalist..foyces, has been fully confirmed (if
any eonfirmation!were wantmg) by the French Papers
of Friday, and the Etoile of Saturday morning, which
reached us last night. An article in the latter from
Zamora, dated the 25th Novemlpr, gives an account
of a severe action in the neighbourhood of that place,
which had;been abandoned by the Constitutional gar-,
rison, between the Royalists and'the troops which had
formed this garrison, reinforced With 600 others ; and
the Etoile positively states that' the castle 'of Bragauza
was occupied on the 26th by the Marquis DE CRAVES;
the town having been given up to • pillage for two
hours. It is also announced by the same paper, that
the Refugees in Estremadura had entered the Province
of Beira. The other papers of thelreceding day, are
full of accounts Of the, advance in all directionS of the
Royalists against Portugal ; but we, must refer for the
particulars, to the extracts which will be found in ano-;
ther column. •

Accounts, by way of Trieste' mention that the cita-
del of Athens is ,still blockaded by the Turks. Con-
stantinople, according to advices down to the 16th
Nov;., remained in " a state of calm=;" but the nature
of the calm may be explained by the fart, that 6,000
men have been executed since the 18th October, and
many thousands drowned

throne, and to have his eyes put out, but that yielding to the in-

fresh troops. Iliving received these reinforcements, Abbas

contain little more than the. bare mention-. of the fact.
The next arrival is looked' for with intense interest, as.
a few days would show whether the general state of
feeling in. the country, and in the army, was seriously
influenced by the renewed attempt. to overthrow the
flew' 'order of things. In the meantime it be-,
etnne4 a matter of deep consideration what steps
this --country will take in consequence' of this
invasion of Portugal. If it can be' considered
simply and entirely as a •matter of dispute between'
two political parties in •the "country, 'we, perhaps,'
might abstain lfrom any interference at all, and leave
em to settle their differences; but how far such
system of non-interference. might be either honour-
able, considering the part 'we have had• in establishing
the Constitutional System in Portugal,. or wise and
politic, considering the necessity of maintaining our,
influence for the preservation,of our. commercial relit-.

OttelUtting.that this 'must be a fabricated account'

what. passed on this occasion, and that it must have
been published with the intention of throwing a degree
of ridicule over the'Learned Judge's conduct. Allow-
ing that a " lark" is an offence unknown to the law,
yet when it was attended with the melancholy circum-
stance which occurred in this case, is it possible that
the Presiding Judge should have allowed the young
rascals who had occasioned the fatal accident to leave
the dock without giving them a lecture; in terms and
with, a manner which would have made an impression
on their minds to the latest moment. of their exist-
ence—or to have dismissed them with the flippant ex-
pression that he did "not like a lark,'" and ".there,
go away, go away ?"
it ,cannot, have been so, and therefore we trust our
cotemporary will correct its report as soon as possible,
for the honour of the Bench.

•
Mr. PEEL, we. perceive by the Parliamentary Re-
port% is about to 'resume his labours nt the Statute
, .
Book, and . promises, ()011, after the recess, to come
forward with sundry Bills for the consolidation of the
Criminal Law.' The,publie will no doubt receive the
intimation of the Right Hon. Gentleman 'with pecu-
liar satisfaction, as, from the speciinens already given;
they -,have. earnest. of the kind of talent that will
be employed in bringing together the various provi-
sions' of the law-on the different subjects he proposes'
to take in hand. Larceny, in all its forms, and the law
of embezzlement, are the chief points ; and, certainly,
if any branches of the Criminal Law required the;
pruning knife of the Home Secretaryt these two in a
- .
~:.94tecia
,Aantier demanded it.
If
' 1
*
her:4 utOry,provisions, touching larCeny, are as
numerous as the forms under which the crime. appears.
So nice is the common law in, dealing with the life
and liberty of the subject; that it required an express
enactment to bring very many of the ingeniOuS methods
of notorious thieves in abstracting property within the
reach of the law,.so 'as to render them the subject of
criminal. indictment, and to bring the offenders to con-
dign punishment.- Hence the, statufe law.has grown
to, the bulk it hap,, and: hence, also, the necessity of
condensing, consolidating,,,and revising the law, in the
manner now proposed. '. Housebreaking and burg-
lary are in effect the same,' but the punishment
assigned to the two offences is in many instances
very widely different. Burglary, unattended, with the
abstraction of property is felony without benefit of
clergy ; but house-breaking, on the contrary, must be
attended with a felonious taking away to a certain.
Value, in order to warrant the infliction of deatkupon
the: offender. It.is, however,: to be borne in mind,'
that 'even . in burglary the intent must be considered,
and that Must be an intent to 'commit a felony. ' The
difference between burglary and-house-breaking is, that
the one must be committed in the night-time and the
other in the day-time. We hear that one of the ob-
jects of Mr. PEEL'S Bills is to limit the hours in which,
burglary may be committed, and in' consequence to
'sliew also within what hours hause-breaking . must
be committed. It would lead to a great length
to enter into all the multitude of minute points
with, which the ' law of larceny abounds, and to
ahow the different plinishments assigned by the law
against the offenders in : the different grades, of the
crime, stealing in a•dwelling-house, or . stealing from
the person, abound with them. The main distinction
is in thedegree of violence employed, in the time, and
in the place i but all these
,are comprehended by the
law within the two,divisions, grand and petit larceny ;
the punishment being more or less severe according as,
the larceuy.is simple or. compound, that. is, intended'
with violence or not.
The law of embezzlement is a creature of the sta-
tute law. • The offence was unknown to the common
lave, because not being attended with a felonious taking
away, it could not be larceny, and wasleft to be dealt with
as a civil injuiy,—triat is to ,a civil action'at law. The
laW touching, embezzlethent, grew out , of thel different
cases of gross and notorious, fraud as they arose.
Thus the SO' Gen. IlL.eap. 85;' for protecting Masters
rfrOM the frands of their CierkS and SerVantti, grew out
of the , case ,of RA ZELLY,
m a bailer's. clerk,, who, se-
creted the oneypaid in by the different customers dur-
ing the day, instead of duly carrying it to their accounts.
The next 'statute is the 's2,'Geo.. III:; cap. EN, and this
grew out of the case of Sir T. PLumnt „and the,
,Stook-brokeri WALSH, the l'acts of which are too well
known to need repetition. The other older" Statutes
on the • subject are, the 93 Hen. VI., cap'. I ; 21'
Hen. VIII, cap.' 7 ~and 3 and 4 ‘Villiam and Mary,
-cap: 9. ,These contain the general law, but there are a
multitude of other enactments scattered through a
great variety of Acts-of Parliament, some being pnblie
laws, and some. private- acts; but all 'being 'directed
against some specific act Of frand On 'the part Of parti-
cular agents of particular companies.
These are the, objects of the, new consolidation,
acts of Mr. PEEL, and their utility the public , know
how to estimate. On- that' point nothing, therefore;
need he added. .

COURT OF CHANCERY.—(Tms DAY).

IMPORTANT JUDGMENT UPON THE PRACTICE OF
THE COURT.-
tomes v. STRATIMORL

. The Loan CuattCsu.os expressed himself thus: in this:matter
of Bowes v. Strathmore. As I understand it now, there never
has been a decree ; ;the cue, therefore,: appears to me to call for
some observations with respect to thaprictiee that obtains, and
which, according to my notion, ,is Contrary to- every rule of this
Court. Those who recollect what :passed in the time of my Lord
Apsley, in the time of my Lord..Tharloti, and in the time of my
Lord Loughborough, will recollect that it was. their habit, if
there was any motion of considerable consequence, to dispose of it
very comfortably. to themselves, by saying they could not decide
upon such a notion till the hearing of the cause. It had al•
ways occurred to me, that in particular cases, that was
a very great hardship upon the suitors of the Court; and I
fell into. a practice which I meant to be regulated by this prin-
ciple, viz. that. if a motion could: he made upon the institution of a
suit where all parties were competent to bring that motion before
the Court, and to conclude themselves by what the Court should
do upon that motion, and that the hearing of the motion should
make an end of the cause, it did always appear to me, and I have
acted upon that notibn, that it was an extreme hardship to keep
suitors iu this Court for years, if you could do justice between
them upon a motion of that sort, all parties competent to bring the
motion here, and all parties willing to abide by the decision on
that motion.

I mention this, because I observe by what has been given to
the world, by one of the ablest persons who everpractised in that
Court, I mean my Lord Retlesdale—my friend Lord Rudestbile,
that mode of disposing of causes appears to him to be quite wrong.
Ido not believe that he was at all acquainted with the cireutn-,
stances in which I have ventured to follow that practice; nor do.
bring Myself to thirk that it is a practice of any other nature
than that which in my judgment ought to be followed where
it is regulated by the principles which I have stated, namely,
that if upon the institution of a suit, a motion can be
made to . the Court, where all parties are competent to consent,
that that motion phial. decide the cause, recollecting that what-
ever the Judge 'does ttpott-tiral motion is just as open to appeal,
as what he does upou.the hearing of a cause. I cannot retract,
therefore, front being convinced, that that is a very usef►l pro-
ceeding for the benefit of suitors- in casts so circumstanced. Rut,'
on the other baud, I must say, that it has equally apPeared to
me, that where a. bill is fikd, *newer* put in, and so on, and
where there'are important points to he decided upon the-hearing
of a cause, more particularly where some points upon which mo-
tions are made, are points that, cannot well be derided, without,
taking a view of all the other points to be decided upon the hear •
ing of the saute. I agree, then, that to' decide one point upon'
motion is a most mischievous proceding,, and if that has ever,
happened -to me, 1 have been surprised into it, and I ought to
apologise for it, but I am not aware of it ever having happened.
Now, in this case of Bowes v. Strathraore, I should be glad if
Mr. Home•would look into the petition, for then he will find that
there never has been a decree in the cause ; on the contrary, the
parties leave gone to the Rolls, and -there consent* have been
given which ought not to have been given, nu which orders have
been made. .

Mr. Suonow—No consents were ever given, my Lord.
Mr. HORNI—I don't kmow for whom you appear.
Mr. Suont,r4---I appear for Mr. Born.
Mr. lioomr---Nly Lord Chancellor is not applying his observa-
tioas to Mr. Burn.

His LORDSHIP—No, no ; hut orders have been made upon
points which ought never to have been decided upon interlocutory
motions. • I find the thing therefore in that state in which I
don't know what to do with it. If it has ever been nuclei-stood
that my meaning was, to decide' points 'upon the bearing of a
motion, which ought to he decided Upon the hearing of a cause,
leaving the cause undecided, I have been tuisunderstmel ; and' I
think. I have fallen into a practice which I ought not to have fallen,
into, but I don't believe that that has been the practice in this
branch of the Court.. And I do desire to have it understood,
speaking most respectfully, that in my opinion this mode of
prOceedin in 'Bowes v. Strathmore, if it has been the proceeding
I believe it has been, is utterly wrong. My observation does not
at all go to Mr. Burn unquestionably, or to any' body else in the
cause, but it is meant to apply to this, that in the state of the
cause, with no decree whatever made upon points which are ex-
tremely material, the Court has been extremely surprised in
making orders; even if they had been right, after a decree had
been.made, but which ought not to have been mule till after ihn
decree. lam afraid that, what I have said with respect to the
practice has been very 'necessary, for unless I ant misinformed,
there is a great deal of this sort of proceeding in causes in other
branches of -‘he Court; and which Might not to ,be.
