sailing for the West Indies. Captain Maxwell had been ill but a
few hours, and is much regretted by his Officers and ship's com-
pany. Capt. J. C. Austen has been appointed to succeed him

MEETING OF THE PRIVY COUNCIL.
(nusDAY. )

This morning, about eleven o'clock, the Lords of
his Majesty's most honourable Privy Council assem-
bled at the Council Office, Whitehall Place, to hear
appeals brought before them, from decisions of the
Commissioners for claims of British subjects and others
on the Government of France.

The Lords present were the Earl of Harrowby, as
Lord President, the Master of the Rolls, Lord
Bexley, and Lord Colchester.
The first case which occupied their Lordships'
attention was that of Messrs. Boyd, Ker, and Co.,
bankers, of Paris, for a balance due to the Receiver
General of the Duchy of Valois, part of the royal
domains of France, as they existed before the revo-
lution ; the reversion of which was purchased by
Messrs. Boyd, in the year 1791.
Messrs. Fonblanque and Carr were heard for
Messrs, Boyd, Ker, and Co. and the King's Advo-
cate General for the Commissioners ; but their Lord-
ships did, not, come to any decision when our paper
went to press.

COURT OP CHANCERY—Chino DAY.)

WELLESLEY V. DUKE OF BEAUFORT.

Mr. SIIADWELL begged to state, that as his Lord-
ship was going out of Court on Thursday, he (Mr.
S.) was in the act of handing up an affidavit that had
been made by Mr. Pitman and some others, which
they had thought necessary to make, but which the
Court did not then receive. lie had now in his hand
the original brief of the affidavits that had been marked
by his Lordship, which he would now hand in to the
Court ; and also the office copies of the different other
affidavits that had been made on the part of the peti-
tioners. He was likewise very anxious to set a matter
right upon which there seemed to be some misunderr
standing. There had been a correspondence between
the Dtike of Wellington and the Misses Long,
and in which the Duke had expressed his wish
that a representation made to the Court, namely, to
keep the children where they are, met with the appro-
batton of all the family, was not quite correct. 'lids
correspondence was also constituted of one letter,
written by Mr. Hutchinson, the Solicitor of the Misses
Longs ; and part of the last letter, written by pie
Duke, he (Mr. S.) was requested to state to .he
Court, which, in the very terms of the letter, only
observing that the statement complained of, was made
by him (Mr. S.) on the 11th of April : " The Duke
of Wellington had consented to accept the guardian-
ship of the children at the time the Lord Chancellor
bad ordered the Master to fix upon guardians to take
charge of them during the absence of their father. The
Duke had, at the same time, for reasons not necessary
to be discussed at present, desired to have nothing to
say to any proceedings Chancery iipon this sub-
ject, or with the view of in
supporting the appointments
of a guardian, after the appointment of a guardian
should be made under an order of the Court. It is,
therefore, an error to say, that the Duke had ever ex.
pressed any wish or, desire with respect to the result
of this suit.
After the learned counsel had read this from the
Duke's own letter, he felt he should not be doing
justice to Lord Maryborough gild the Misses Longs,
if he did not proceed a little further.
Mr. HAnr---(tvith assumed sulprise.)--Is all this Mr.
Mr. Wellesley's case ?

Mr. SHAD-WELL.--YCS.
Mr. H Alt ?
Mr. SHADWELL.—Yes. ,
Mr. HARP.--But how does it come on r
Mr. SHADWELL.—Upon my statement.
His LORDSUIP.---it comes on now, Mr. Hart/

just as you brought it on the other day, by saying
you- had received a letter from a member vf the
family,'
Mr, merely stated, my Lord, that I had
been requested to state a letter, from one of the
family to your Lordship, which I did not think I
could do.

His LORDSUIP.—Yon stated, that from that letter,
you understood, it was not the wish of all the family,
that the representation made to the Court on a former
occasion, should be considered as correct ; and Mr.
Shadwell, in what he has now said, has only con-
finned your statement. How far, I, can take any
notice of either statement, made in this way, is another
thing.
Mr. HART.—Then if Mr. Shadwell will now stop
this till Tuesday, it won't be the worse of cooling.
Mr. SHADWELL.--I only wish to state the matter
in its true light, and from the very language of his
Grace himself.

Mr. HART.---This is newspaper argument.
Mr. SIIADWELL.—Mr. Hart, it is a wish on my
part to state the case correctly.
Mr.sta HART.—
till TuesdayWell,b but won't it be better to delay
your
Mr. SIIADWELL.---I have only a few words more
to address to the Court. •
Mr. HART.---BUt this is what I certainly ueprecate.
His LORDSHIP.—Mr. Shadwell has only con-
firmed your statement, Mr. Hart, by saying the Duke
of Wellington has been no party to the proceedings.
Mr. HART.--Then. I presume Mr. Shadwell is in-
structed by the Duke to make this statement ?

Mr. SHADWELL.—No, I am not.
His LORDSIIIP.—You go no further, Mr. Hart,
than I dare say I should do if I were in your place :
you consider that all this goes into the newspapers,
people read the newsiiipers, and then they wish to say
something for themselves.
Mr. BART.--What your Lordship has just said
respecting newspapers, prevents my making any ob-
servation, which I otherwise should have done.
Mr. SHADWELL.—.I am sure your Lordship will
always allow a Counsel to set himself right, when it is
imputed to him that he was in an error.
Mr. HART.—This may be very fit and proper for
the newspapers.
His LORDS1111).—I believe it will turn out that
what you have both said is not worth a paragraph in
the newspapers.
Mr. HART.-0 yes it will, my Lord ; any thing to
fill up the columns.
[This latter sentence of Mr. Hart's might be con-
sidered correct, if he were justifiable in judging of the
making up of a newspapers columns in analogy to his
views of propriety in occupying the public's time, al-
most daily, for several hours, in stating a case to the
Court, by reading aloud his brief (probably for the
first time), from beginning to end, in a way to lull to
sleep half of those who were awake when he began.]
Mr. SIfADWELT:—My Lord, I have the authority
of the Duke of Wellington for stating what I have
done ; and as he has represented to the Misses Longs
that what I stated to your Lordship was not stated
from sufficient instructions, it is right for me now to
say, that what I represented was in consequence of a
letter written by Lord Maryborough to the Misses
Longs, in these terms It may be well to inform
you, that there is no branch of any family, with whom
I have communicated, that does not fully concur with
me, in approbation of the views of the Misses Tilney
Longs, and in reprobation of the conduct of Mr. Long
Wellesley." Now, if in what I stated I committed
an error, it was only an error into which any body
would have fallen upon reading these letters.
Mr. HART—WeII, if I don't very much mistake,
your Lordship will have another very important affida-
vit before Tuesday.
