LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
Their Lordships sat this morning in a Committee of
Privileges to take into consideration the petition of Charles
Sholto Douglas, claiming the titles awl honours of the late
Earl of Morton and Aberdour.

Mr. ADAM appeared on behalf of the claimant, in
consequence of a resolution passed by their Lordships on
the 3d May, 1822, which required that on the death of a
Peer of Scotland, no person other than the son or brother of
the deceased should be allowed to vote at the election of a
Representative in the Peerage, until claim should be fiCst
made and admitted by the House of Lords. The present
petitioner was the cousin-german of the late Lord Morton,
who died about two months ago.
Mr. ADAM moved their Lordships for judgment in hi,
favour, and Lord Shaftesbury, as Chairman of the Com-
mittee, having put it to the vote, whether it was the opi-
nion of their Lordships that the claimant was entitled to
vote at the election of Representative Peers for Scotland,
it was carried non. con.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
His HONOUR was engaged in hearing bankrupt petitions.
Those which came before the Court during the early part
of the day were quite uninteresting, and related merely to
matters of accounts.

SPIRIT 04, THE PUBLIC JOURNALS

Though there are no arrivals from Russia or Con-
stantinople since our last number, conveying posi-
tive intelligence, we have still great reason to liclie.ve
that such measures are taking on all sides as
bring the affairs of Turkey to a crisis. Perhaps
England is the most dilatory power on this occasion
yet she must and will move. France, we believe,
calls upon her in the strongest terms to make short
work with the Greek revolution. Russia is actually
at war with the Porte, and unless the latter power
has some secret resources which we know not of,—
' is silently laying schemes and maturing plans of op.
position but little akin to her late display of energy,
her counsels must be the most infatuated that can
be conceived.. To what end provoke, by brutal ob-
stinacy, a force which must overthrow her' If she
has fancied that the Allies may fall out among theuis.
.selves, the circumstance is not improbable. But it
is only in the division of the spoil that disputes of
this kind occur; all is friendship and unani-
mity in the acquisition of it. We stated
before, that Russia's offensive Ivar upon the
Turks separates her from the other mediators
between the Turks and the Greeks. Turkey's re-
fusal, also, to accept of the terms prescribed in the
protocol of St. Petersburgh and the treaty of Lon-
don, after the Greeks had acceded to those terms,
by offering to Pay the relevance, sets the mediators
free. They may prescribe what other conditions
they please, or settle Greece under what other form
they find most convenient. We should say, only
guard the independence of the country : secure it
either against its old masters or new, at as little ex-
pense as possible, and as speedily as possible, and
the respectable part of Europe will be content.
There is one point vinch, as a matter of form, now
seems indispensable ; which is, that Austria be not
suffered to say one word on the affairs of eastern
Europe; or at least that what she says obtain not
the slightest attention. She and her silly fantasti-
cal Minister have thoroughly disqualified theinse:ves
from taking any farther part in these affairs. Ai:
would have been arranged long ago, but for her.—
Times.

The Gazette de France has a letter from Frank,
fort, which states, that in consequence of intelligence
from Vienna of the intention of the Russians to pass
the Pruth, the different Stocks had experiencecl
considerable fall. Our readers will see, in an article

from the Journal des Dcbals, among our extracts
from Paris Papers, some farther exemplification of
what we yesterday advanced as to the feelings or
the French regarding the movement of the Russ►ans•.
The Turks, it is evident, are not in favonr at present
among our neighbours. The Journal des Debak;
alludes to the recent Ministerial change:s in England

and France, as having, in all probability, had an in-
fluence in determining the conduct of the Russians.
" Two Cabinets (says that Journal) had fallen in
Europe. To an Administration sincere in the
Alliance for the liberation of Greece, had succeeded
at London, a Ministry foamed of the assailants and
enemies of the Treaty of the Gth July. Without in-
quiring to what extent might be their attacks of the
policy of Mr. Canning, it threw them into a route
opposed to the one of that great Statesman. The
Members of the Wellington Cabinet arrived at power
under a presumed colour which could not be sup-
posed to promise to Russia ardent co-operators in the.
East, when it should have been ascertained that a na-
tion could not be set free with tardy menaces to iu
oppressors. The Speech from the Throne at the
opening of the English Parliament, could hard:,"
fail to give rise to serious reflections at Petersburgh;
a combat treated as sinister by a Cabinet, which,
for the first time, saw a General at its head, did
not announce any very warm interest in the contest ;
and if England imagined this was the first step to-
wards a general peace, it is probable that at Si. Pe-
tersburgh, this was one of the most warlike inci-
dents of the question. In France, on the contrary,
an Administration hostile, during an existence which
was but too long, to every thing that was grand,
noble, and generous, crumbled down piece by piece,
to give place to a Cabinet, Several Members of
which had for three years pleaded a cause eminently
popular, and brought with them to power the im-
perious obligation of restoring to their country
the rank from which their predecessors had
caused it to descend. An inevitable modification
in the exterior policy of France was, there-
fore, the necessary result of the Revolution
which had just taken place in her Cabinet."
Our readers must remember that Mr. HuskissOn, in
his memorable speech at Liverpool, stated, that we
should be indebted for the preservation of peace in
Europe to the circumstance of Lord Dudley conti-
nuing in office. His'Lordship, we suppose, rehearsed
to Prince Lieven the lecture on consistency, the
limits of personal and political obligations, and the
nature of principle, which he afterwards delivered
twice in the House of Lords, endeavouring, no
doubt, to persuade the Prince that words were only
the counters of wise men; that declarations of opi-
nion meant only that the parties found it convenient
to declare such opinions at the moment, that the
Prince ought to entertain no apprehension on ac-
count of the opinions publicly expressed by Lord
Ellenborough against the policy of Mr. Canning ; or
the avowed intention of Ministers, when ont of
power, to attack the Treaty of London, and to ob-
tain the condemnation of the proceedings under it;
because it was notorious in England, that public
men retained only any set of opinions, as long as it
was convenient for them to retain them, and that
they were allowed at all times to change principles
as well as parties, and with their parties their
principles. That his Lordship delivered himself
in his best manner, and with all that com-
mand of the graces of foreign languages which he is
known to possess to Prince Lieven, we do not in
the least doubt ; but lie may have succeeded better
in conveying to him what is meant by principle
among public men in this country, than in persuading
him that Russia had any ground for counting on the
sincerity of his Lordship's declarations to her.
Besides, the declarations of English Statesmen had
found their way to Russia, where the easy way in
which opinions may be adopted and east off in this
country may not have been thoroughly understood.
When, therefore, the epithet untoward made its ap-
pearance at St. Petersburgh, improved by a French
translator into sinister, we can hardly wonder that it
should be deemed our Government was backing out
as fast as possible, and that in due time our ancient
would be our dearest Ally. With all deference to
the great men who are the organs of the collective
wisdom of the nation, we cannot help thinking, that
whatever convenience there may be in changing-par-
ties and principles, and in the liberty to combat one
day the opinion expressed the day before, it would be
still better to take sincerity for a guide, and,hy ad-
vancing nothing that is not seriously believed to be
mdernonecessay ofeonstantly changing principles and
opinions. There is an inconvenience in not being
believed, as well as in being believed. It is very
convenient, no doubt, at present, that Lord Ellen-
borough should not be believed to have been sincere
when he condemned the foreign policy of Mr. Cor-
ning, and threatened to impeach those who signed
the Treaty of the 6th of July; but then it is also
inconvenient that lie should not be believed to be
one whit more sincere in his present approbation of
what he before condemned. We are aware, that
sincerity and honesty have their disadvantages; and
that a man who will only say what he really thinks,
and only act on his sincere and honest conviction,
must occasionally allow an opportunity for a hit to
escape unprofited by. But this temporary advantage
is sometimes compensated for in the long run, by the
confidence which a different course produces. We
would, therefore, throw out as a hint for the con-
sideration of our Statesmen, whether it might not
be well to inquire if a character \ for candour arid
lnv
may-e not be actually worth something .9
however, as it may, it appears that the ad-
Russians into the Principalities is a
popular measure in France, and that the idea of an
understanding among the other Powers on this sub-
B:I:
e :efo the
sub-
jeet is out of the question. The next question is,
this, consistency
how far will the Russians be disposed to go, and

how far will they be allowed to go by other Powers?
Russia has a justifiable ground of hostility against
Turkey; and will, no doubt, occupy
; but will she stop there? or can she-stop there
As the Journal des Debats observes, " With a Sul-
tan who has declared the emancipation -Of the
Rajahs an outrage to Islamism, at what presumed
epoch shall we fix the act of recognition of their
emancipation ? And till then, what . barrier can be
placed before the Russian invasion ? \Vita will take

WC have not hesitated to 'buc,ions on this subject,
anticipate the occupation of Constantinople. When
the Russians drive the Turks from the Principalities,
will- the Turks give them no cause for advancing far-
ther ? One advance leads to another. At Constan-
tinople even it may be necessary to pursue the Turks
nto Asia Minor, till they be completely tamed down
to their altered,figtunes. The war, too, will entail on
Russia a heavy expense, and the custom in such-cases
is to allow the ,conqueror to draw his indemnification
from the conquered. 'There can; at the samt time,
- he no doubt, that if the, Great Powers choose to put
ti•ernselyes to the expense, they could easily, by
acting on Russi4 on the side of Poland, impose limits
to her operations in the East. But this must be-a
matter for after consideration, It is obvious that

there could he no concert at present tunong the
Great Powers, and that events must guide them in
their future deliberations. We observe it stated in

advance of the Russian's into Persia.' Of all the

one which ought to wegh with the most maturity

cannot be indulged where their demand is large,
because of its largeness, and that." they must be
denied when they ask for little, because they
may otherwise be disposed to ask something
great. Mr. 8.. Gordon was of opinion that
.the
tax ought to be retained, and that it was,so Ull-
- prOductiye only because it was not rigidly .;pried.
But it might have struck. the Hon. Member that
there were but two reasoni4hy_ a tax of such a. kind
was. unproductive; either that it was so difficult
that it could not, or that it was. so vexatious that.
it ought not, to be exacted.. Both these.; reasons
'are' applicable to the twopenny and tßeepetiny
stamp duties. All the laws that ever were planned
are insufficient for their exaction, unless --by the
total destruction between friends, acquaintances, and
'neighbours, of all mutual honour and mutual trust—
a consummation more to be deprecated than the loss
of all the
,taxes of the State ten
.times told; andany
thing like a rigid enforcement of the law would
be found .so insufferably rexation;,•, that the mere
attempt ,at it would introduce hatred of Govern-
ment into the Reuse of -every 'seller and almost
ev,,r.y buyer in the kingdoin—for the Receipt
Tax is a point on which not a class or .a trade,
but the Whole of theiii'tiUlation; have' offended. It
is not from the reprei:e.ntation of the petitioners
merely that we judge of this tax,, -Our opinion .of
its impropriety rests upon much higher authority,, or
at least,on what, with his Majesty's'Ministers, will
be admitted to be much higher, tlitt of the Solicitor
of the Stamp Office.hirnself-7-4he very same Mr.
Sykes, of'whose interpretationd the Law of Penal-
ties so very singular a spe6nen Was quoted at the
Bristol Meeting, an account of which we gave yes-
terday. Mr. Sykes was,examined before the Re-
venue Commissioners in 1825 (Feb. 7), touching
this very point ; and the terms in which he speaks
of prosecutions for penalties, under the Stamp Re-
Ceipt Laws, are stronger than any we have indulged
in. We ought to premise that almOst all these prose-
cutions go intothemostexpensive court in the King-
dom—the Exchenner—the magistrates having very
little authority, and it being a x'ery usual tbing when
attempts are ni:‘ le to render their authority available
to the ends of pubn• justice, for the Board to inter-
poSe to. stay proceedings, under ,an Act (4-i- Geo..
c. 98), which takes away all authority of the
magistrates as to the, qui lam information, unless the
information be laid in •the name of the Attorney-
General, or. some officer of the Stamp Duties. The
evidence of Mr.-Sykes, to which we have alluded,
was in substanee'ro'tlme following effect :—"' That
prosecutions for the Receipt Duties are very
ob-
noxious ; that the greater number of inforinations
are grounded in malice, and used to' administer
16 the wet-st passions ; that they are frequentlj,
ohtained J
,trick that they are very expen-
sive." Be adds, ,that au inforMation could not
be carried into the. Court of Exchequer under
70/. ,or.
.80/ the .whole of which the indivi-
dual must pay! Mr. Sykes was asked, in the
course of the static examination, whether, when a
person,was najusity accused, and was perfectly con-
seiong that lie 'Could ptore his innocence, it would
not he much cheaper .to acknowledge hithself guilty:
He answer's Certainly it would;' Very often they
CointnrssiOners) inflict only 3/. penalty and no
costs. If the party- defended the case,he.would, at
all events,: have his own costs to pay." Mr. -Black
,see. from ,this..statement., that he was treated
handsomely ; he. had only -2/. --to pay; a deduction
of 33 per cent., - for which-we hope:.he-will feel
duly grateful. Mr. Sykes- adds, " the man who
takes' no notice at all onr proceedings 'against
hint is mostsuccessful.We ilo not like to
take cut an attarntnent against hini ; for it
often happens that the_ defendant cannot ,be
f6uo ; the parties are generally poor,and we should
Probably get nothing„as last." In answer to other
qaestions Mr. Sykes stated that the expense to a
party who .went . into . Court and proved ,his case
would be at least 30/. Such, then, is the. summary
of the Stamp Receipt Law, given by one who, -of
all others, is best able,to judge of its character and
xvorking : •

A considerable sensation has leer ,xcited in the
City by the frequent Cabinet Councils whiclehave
been held divine• the last three days; one was held
on Saturday, - and another on Sunday, and a third
yesterday afternoon. We apprehend, botetever, that
under existing eireumstances, these -frequent coneul-
rations of the Ministers ought
..to' excite ito surprise.
The Government have a very. important question. to
decide—namely, whether England shall sanction the
invasion of Turkey by Russia, under certain stipu-
lations, a, to the latter Power not _aggrenclizing her-
self, or whether she shall be Jeleto herself, and Great
Britain remain . neuter. Which way 'the •Govern-
ment will decide it is difficult to determine, but, it is
pretty generally understood that they will avoid; if
possible, taking an active part in thewer. We' be-
lieve that France, Austria, and Prussia, have . ex-
'preeeed a determination to actin concert with Eng.
land ; but some suspicions are enterfained _as ,to
the sincerity of the first of these Powers. It ie
si".' that France is inclined-to keit) to tities,ia, and
that eoeneintrignee have lately been going on between
the two Courts. We know not whether this lie trite,
but it wOuldseem that the invasion- of Turkey-is Kan
