FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Monikur of Saturday, Jan. 14.)
NON•Orrielm; PAirr.
PAnie, JAN. 13.—We are authOrized formally
to contradict the news given by some journals of
a dvlay in the opening of the Session, which will
t:,14,e place on the 31st of this month, the day fixed
its the Royal ordinance.
We have positive information that the price of
icons sold by foreign trader's in the ports of the
iiingdtuti of Morocco, during the month of No-
ettalier last, Wa. ‘29 (runes per hectolitre (If
Winchester hu,,hel.,) but that the great scarcity
of grain, and the dilftraity of carriage, caused by
t,km mortality the camels, Is hich die for
want of food, Clilibt:.l the price to rise excessively
in the interior of the empire, and that letters
from Fez state that the price there was three
times as high as at Tangiet—that is to say, 87
(tones per hectolitre.
. The drought which still continues gives reason
to presume that the dreadful misery which now
prevails must increase during the winter, the few
-resources which the country possessed decreasing
daily. These circumstances cause a rise in the
pricer of grain at Trieste and other Italian ports.
(From the Quoadienne.)
PARTS, J.N. 13.—A courier, who left St. Pe-
lersburgh on the 28th December, arrived at the
Hotel of the Russian Legation to-day. At that
time no uneasiness was felt respecting the dispo-
sitions of the garrison of that capital.
There is no news from Warsaw, and the Ger.
man Papers do not say a word' of what is. passing
in Poland.
Letters from the North speak of several arrests
having taken place in St. Petersburgh, conse.
quence of the events of the 2tith. A Prince
Gat-- is mentioned among the persons ar-
rested.

(From Me Courier Francais.)
When the proclatnatioo of Constantine was
known at Paris, the Russian Ambassador hastened
to call together all persons of his nation, to make
them take the oath to the new Emperor. Now
that the proclamation of Nicholas is known In a
manner equally official, people are astonished that
the Russian Ambassador has not caused a new
oath to be taken to that Prince. It seems that
experience has rendered hito circumspect, and
that the aspect of affairs makes him feel that there
might be danger in being in ton great a hurry.
( Frees Me !:'toile' doted Sunday, Jan. 16.)
PARIS, JAN. 14.---A letter from St. Peters.
burgh, of the t Oth, adds to the details which we
gave yesterday of the events of St. Pesersburgh.
We will not dissemble how much these occur-
reucee are to be deplored, and, we need not add,
how much they have affected the Emperor. But
these who witnessed the noble conduct of this
.Monarch, his magnanimity, his calm and
itomoveable serenity ; those, too, who ad-
mired the enthusiasm even of the troops and
of the old Generale; those who reflected on the
conduct of the Grand Duke Michael, which
Icd to such succelatful results; those, in fact, who
consider that the rebels remained four hours in a
public square, all the avenues to which were for
a !tong time open, and that they received, by way
of reinforcement, only. drunken soldiers nod some
of the lowest class of CitiZeni, in this same state
drunkenness ; that of all the regiments of
the Guards some few companies were seduced, or
hurried along, but that no one corps in mass took
amy part in the seditious movement ; they, we
say, who reflect upon all these things, will
admit that we have experienced a momen-
tary crisis, which has only lauded to show in
stronger colours the character of the Rus-,
skin nation, the *silent fidelity of the army,
and their general allaelunent to the august per-
sou of their legitimate Monarch. In fact, the
spontaneous confessions of the principal culprits
--:'the promptitude with which the mutineers were
diVtiled at the first attaCk—the sincere repent.
antra of the soldiers, who 'hastened 10 return to
their barracks, and to deplore their error—
all, in' odes word, proves, that it was not
these persons who ought to be accused of the
sad 'occurrence ; and that the wishes expressed
in
,ftt vont' of the Grand Duke Constantine,
With the obligation of an oath, annulled by the
irrevocable determination of his imperial High-
ness, was only used as a mask to cover the real
designs of the promoters of the revolt, whose 04-

The report which was circulated at Berlin on the

caused several officers of these regiments to be

" It is proper to inform your Lordship, that it; was
.judged•
right by those with whom this measure originated, to circulate
the requisition first in the North and East Itioing, where your
Lordship is best known, and in the former of which your fa-
mily has so long resided.. The active measures taken-by those
gentlemen who have already declared themselves candidates for
the representation of the county have created a necessity that
no time should he lost in bringing the wishetof your friends to '
an issue, and have rendered it impossible to,circulate this re-
quisition in a proper manner in the West Riding. It has been
thought better, therefore, not to lay any list from the Riding
before your Lordship, rather than to transmit one; which, from
its liasty formation; would convey to you an imperfect. sense of
those' liberal and enlightened opinions which are known to be
prevalent in that Most miportant division of the county. Front
this rule of limitation,: imposed .by the necessity Odle ease,
some gentlemen of the Nest. Riding, who have, the honour to
be known to your Lordship, have requested an exemptitytiati,

.'l'o lids Requisition : his Lordship returned the following
answer:—

" flentlemen.—l have head with deep respect the requisi-
tion which you have done me the honour to convey to me, signed
by a large and important body of freeholders of this county,
and I beg leave to return to them, through you, any most
sincere and grateful acknoWledgmenta.
When I consider the number, the situation, and the cha-
racter of' those who have shown the this high mark of confidence,
and at the same time reflect open my own youth and neets.
retry inexperience I feel duly impressed that I can be indebted
fora to no personal claim, but entirely to the concurrence which
you justly suppose me to entertain in the great principles re.
commended ia the requisition. •
• " I have•no hesitation' in declaring that I conceive an
partial maintenance of civil and religious freedom to be not
only in 'itself the truest -and noblest line of policy, but that
also which is most consonant to the genuine principles of the
Protestant Church, and of the British Constitution. I regard
the application of an enlarged and liberal spirit to the detail*
of Goyernment and trade, as es,entially calculated to ensure
the lutist solid adiantages to the nation. I ant persuaded that
I agree with you in desiring the adoption of those measures,
which, avoiding an undue preference to interests in thentselves
strictly identified, would give to the diffexent classes of labour
their just and adequate reward. Fully sensible of the value of
the 'institutions under which it is our happiness to live, I not
prepared to assent to any,practicable mode by which the consti-
tution would be Strengthened and renovated. Nor can I dis-
guise My opinion, that, in addition to these enlightened mea-
sures, of domeittie policy, mune mean* ought promptly to be
,taken for entincing au anteliorAtion in the condition of the
Slai,e'linpulittioil of our colonies--a subject which appears to me
deeply toltivolve thettputation of this country, and call for
retiewedtvigiltinee of Perliament. .

LAW INTLLLIGENCE.

COURT OP CHANCERY, JAN. 16,

The Master of the ROLLS eat for the Lord Chancellor, in
eopsequence of the continued indisposition of his Lordship, and
heard two motions, which were matters of course, and not of the
least interest, to the public. ~

VICE-CHANC'ELLOR'S COURT, JAN. 16.
°REAVES AND OTHERS v. EARLE. AND OTHERS.
Mr: SOODIt N'RPOeitred 'to strew cause in support of an in-
junction granted in this cause, to restrain the defendant from
cutting down any of tile beecli.treem growing-on 6i)o acres of
land near High Wycomb, Bucks, of. which she was tenant for
life, under the will of .Mr. Hicks deceased. He read affidavits
of several persons, to prove that beech was considered a timber
tree in Buckinghamshire, and that it was always sold like other
timber trees, by the foot. On the other itide Affidavits of a di-
rectly contrary tendenty had been filed, alleging that beech was
consider • as underwood, and always sold by the last. The
Counsel contended that the proof was in favour: of the plain.
tit; and that the trees being timber, the injunction ought to
stand.

Mr. IlonNx argued for the defendant, that under the terms
of the will and codicil, she was tenant for life without impeach-
ment of waste, and that, therefore, whether beech alioniti or
should not he considered timber, she was entitled to fell it, as
growing on her own estate.
The VICE-Cirmicx:r.r.ort pronounced against this view of
the case, and decided that the estate of the defendant (lid not
allow her to cut timber at all, at the same time expressing his
opinion that the weight of the evidence which had been adduced
was greatly in favour of beech being considered as.. timber, ac-
cording to the custom of Buckinghamshire. The injunction
was therefore ordered to subsiit. . • •

DI-DE TOWNSEND, A DANEREPT,
.This petition -wits called on 'the first thing On the sitting of the
Court ; but no one appearing, it stood over-until the above case
had been disposed of.
Mr. 31ONTAGU then appeared, 'and ObjeCied that the'notice
which had been given was not sufficient for bringing► on this
petition at this time. The cause had been appointed to he
heard before the Lord Chancellor, and it did not appear that
the hearing was removed to this Court by any authority of his
Lordship.

The VICE-CIIANCELLOR said, that he had appohited thk
morning to hear it. in consequence of the Lord Chancellor's
direction, as he understood.

Mr.MON TAG u nos believe tints his Lordship had •given
any such direction.
Mr. Townsend, the petitioner, who appeared in person, said,
that the notices had been regularly given by a solicitor of the
Court, and that he thought this opposition on the part of Mr.
Montagu, who knew all the circumstances of the case, was •
,extremely frivolous and vexation*. lie (Mr. Townsend) had
been kept in the Court of Chancery fur more than twenty years,
anti at length the Lord Chancellor had agreed -to hear his pea-
thin on the 29th of December last. When that clay arrived.
his Lord Ship was too unwell to attend, and fixed the 4th Jan.,
but his Lordship's illness stiWcontinuing, an application was
made to the Vice,Chancellor, who, upon having the facts stated,
and having read the petition, ordered it to caw on the first thing
.this morning. lie trusted, therefore, that his Honour would
;not now again perthit it to stand over, and urged the length
of time he had been kept in the court, and the distress to
,
which he had consequently been reduced, in favour •of HS ap.
pliention.
• Mr. MONTAGtf protested that, his only object was to preserve
the regularity of the proceedings of the Court. its to the im-
portance of this petition, he could stay there were many others
which had a much better right (if their IMpertance could give
them any such right) than this, to take place of other bitsitiess
coming on in its regular course.
• The VICE-CUANCELLOR said be had not quite understood
the facts of the case when he fixed it foi this • morning : as he
had done :co, he would not now retract, but would have the pe-
tition heard on Wednesday morning.
