ed on at mid-day in the Puerto de Sol (the exchange of
Madrid), and every one speaks of them with all the fervour
of expression that enthusiasm produces.
It is remarked, that since the events of Portugal became
known, a number of old public bonds of a purely nominal
value have disappeared from the exchange, and that nothing
is seen there now but the royal impression and the vales
reales, and that already bargains are publicly made in
bonds of the Cortes.
I informed you that our Cabinet had consulted' hat of
the Tuilleries, with respect to the conduct it ought to ob-
serve towards Portugal. The answer to this communica-
tion has arrived, arkl it is of such a kind, as to show that
your Ministers perceive, though somewhat late,. the fault
they committed in allowing the ordonnance of Andnar to
fall into desuetude; for persons very worthy of credit have
assured me that France, in this answer, speaks of the im-
possibility of lavishing any longer her treasures upon
Spain, and gives it to be understood, that it is impossible
to dispute the legality or legitimacy of the act of the Em-
peror of Brazil, and the conduct of our Government itself
proves that it is convinced of this truth.
. MADRID, July DEL—Nothing is discussed here but the
affairs of Portugal. The last news received thence inform
us, that discontent assumes there an appearance which be-
comes daily more and more alarming. At his arrival at
Lisbon, Sir C. Stuart solicited un interview with the
Minister, Porto Santo, who returned for answer, that hav-
ing given in his resignation, he thought he ought to ab-
stain from all diplomatic conferences, and he could not see
him even as a private individual, but on condition that
there should be no question between them on political
matters. The Minister of War has likewise given iln his re-
signation, and the Minister of Finance has refusekto take
charge of the portefetcille oithe Foreign Office.
" The Council of State is, at this moment, occupied in
discussing what measures may be necessary to guarantee
Spain from the dangers that menace it. We are assured
that the Members of Council are very much inclined to
order those regiments of militia which are on the, war
establishment, to march, together with part of the Royal
Guard, and some regiments of the line, in order to form a
cordon on the frontiers of Portugal, to prevent any com-
munication between the two nations. General Sartffield is
already pointed out as the commander of this corps d'armee,
others think that the command will begiven to General the
Count D'Espagne. The remainder of our troops and the
Royal Volunteers, will be charged with the preservation
of the public tranquillity. Their number is more than
sufficient for that purpose, for the Royal Volunteers alone,
in spite of the discharges recently granted, form a corps of
100,000 men. This, at least, is the result of the last Re-
port furnished by their Inspector-General Count de Car-
vajal. A new regulation has just been published, relative
to this corps of volunteers, and thanks to that regulation,
good order and subordination prevail in this band as much
as in the rest.

We received Dutch, Hamburgh, and Flanders
Papers this morning, bat their contents furnish us
with little which had not arrived through other chan-
nels. The fires in the forests near Stockholm have
ceased, after having done immense damage. A trial was
proceeding at Liege, against a miller and his three
sons, for burning a poor woman, under the belief
that she was a witch. We 'have no room for ex.
tracts.

We cannot pass over the case of 'DI NISE/ ALE V.
itYtrten. which occurred before the VICR. CIIANCLI,

Lon on Friday last, without drawing the attention of

the public to it. We all know that the character of
the Court of Chancery has been most laboriously
stigmatised, and without doubt there is very great
room for amendment in the regulations of its process
from the time of putting the complainant's bill upon
the file up to the execution of the final decree. 13e-
tween this commencement and this termination of the
suit very many delays occur, much money is spent,
and it not unfrequeiitly happens that, after all, when
the termination does arrive, the Judge discovers that
there is no equity in the plaintiff's case, and dismisses
the bill ; that ►s to say, the, Judge discovers what the
counsel ought to have known, viz. that the plaintiff's
remedy, if any, was at law and not in equity, and there-
fore lie could not be relieved in a Court of Equity.
Of this last nature was the case above mentioned.

It was an application by a man to be discharged from
custody, in execution upon a judgment obtained in a
Court of Law at the suit of a plaintiff who was not
entitled to the character in which the defendant at law
was sued. For the relief of mischief's of this nature,
the law has provided two special remedies, the first by
a writ of audita querela, and the last by a summary
application to the Court, in the nature of an audita
querela ; and. which last is an improvement upon the
first, because it is speedier, more equitable, and far less
expensive than the first. Now, that any sensible
lawyer, barrister, or attorney, should, knowing this
fact, presume to apply to a Court of Equity for relief,
in such a case as this, is not to be supposed; and the
fact that such an implication has been made, can then
only be accounted for on the score of absolute and
palpable ignorance that such a writ existed; or that
such a proceeding would be entertained by a judge at
law, 'We are sorry to use these harsh terms towards
members of a profession we honor and admire ; but if
any gentleman will permit his senses to be hoodwinked;
and his understanding imposed upon, by the
fashionable mania of carrying every case into Chancery,
under that false notion; that a common law attorney is
not a gentleman, and how very shockingly vulgar it is
to be concerned in common law proceedings, he must.
be content to bear the burden of his excessive delicacy;
that of having his legal knowledge impugned,„ind of
being instructed in his duties,by that scribbling urudge,
the Editor of a newspaper.
The truth, indeed, is, (and it is a highly lament-
able one) that gentlemen of the, Chancery bar are apt
to hold the acquirement of any, the slightest know.
ledge of Common Law in supreme contempt ; to look
upon it as a work of supererrogation, as a thing in
which they may condescend to receive instruction at
the
fho
clerks; and in consequence, they
are
ignorant of its principles, its
practice, and its remedies,
as an Esquimau% from the

North Pole, or as the most fashionable of them could
desire. Now, we tell these. Gentlemen that the Corn.
;non Law of England even
yet survives, and it would
be well if they could doff their contempt, don a
little modesty, and betake themselves, -during the pre-
s blushrecess,
to read what theynever did before, (and
we ;
name it) the third volume of the Com-
aries on the Laws of England, by Sir Wild.' Ast

We assure, them that the work
is to be had at every bookseller's Ahop in the United

that as they
may have heard of its first two volumes, there are yet
two more, the reading of which, especially the volume
mentioned above, would be greatly to their edification,
and much facilitate the progress of the business of the
Courts of Equity.
