FOPEIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.
PARIS, JAN. 27.—T0-day his -Majesty opened
tUe Session of the Chamber; in the Louvre.

After the usual preliminary ceremonies had been
gone through, and the Peer:: and Deputies had

taken their seats, his INlajesty eclivered the follow-

ing Speech :

" Gentlemen,

" I am happy in seeing you every year assemble
round my Throne, to promote, in concert with me,
the great interests of my people.
" This satisfaction is the mere lively on the pre-
sent occasion, as I have pleasing communications to

make to yon, and important labours to intrust to yon.
" My relations with Foreign Powers continue to
he friendly. The assurances I receive from my

Allies offer me a pledge, that, notwithstanding the

events which have desolated the East, peace will
not he disturbed in the rest of Europe. To hasten

the pacification of Greece, I have, in concert with
England and Russia, sent to the Morel a division
of my troops. At the sight of some thousands of
Frenchmen, determined to accomplish their noble
task, that celebrated country, too long ravaged, has
been restored to peace and security. There, as at
Navarin, the union of the flags has proved to the
world the respect of the three Crowns for the faith
of Treaties ; and my soldiers take pleasure in re-
counting the sincere support which they have found
ill the English Navy.
" A formal declaration notified to the Porte, has
placed the Morea and the neighbouring Islands under
the protection of the three Powers.
" This solemn act will suffice to render a pro-
tracted occupation unnecessary. I continue to assist

the Greeks, to rebuild their ruins, and my ships to
bring back to them those Christian slaves whom the
pious generosity of France has restored to their
country and to liberty.
_ _ _

departmental law, the whole of which shall be in
harmony with our institutions. The most difficult
questions are connected with this organization. It
ought to secure to the communes and to the de-
partments a just share in the management of their
interests; but it must at the same time preserve to
the protecting and moderating power which belongs
to the Crown the full scope of action and force which
public order requires. I have caused a project, which
will be presented to you, to be prepared with care.
I invite all the meditations of your wisdom to this
project, and I confide the discussion of it to your love
of the public good, and to your fidelity. Every day
gives me fresh proofs of the :affection of my people,
and enhances the sacredness of the obligation which
I have contracted to dedicate myself to their happi-
ness. This noble task, which you, Gentlemen, will
assist me to fulfil, must daily become more easy.
Experience has dispelled the charm of insensate
theories. France, like yourselves, knows on what
basis its happiness reposes, and those who should
seek it any where but in the sincere union of the
Royal authority, and of the liberties which the
Charter has consecrated, would be openly disowned
by it.
" You, Gentlemen, are called upon to render this
union more close and more solid. You will accom-
plish this happy mission like faithful subjects, and
loyal Frenchmen, and your efforts will be equally
certai❑ of the support of your King, and of the public
gratitude."

"So many cares will not prove vain. I have
reason to beleve that the Porte, more enlightened,
will cease to oppose the Treaty of the 6th July; and

it may be hoped that this first arrangemement wi

. .
not be lost for the re-establishment of peace in the
East.

" The situation of Spain has allowed me to recall
the troops which I had left at the disposal of his Ca-
tholic Majesty. My soldiers have returned to their
country, after having received from the inhabitants
of all the countries through which they have passed
testimonies of esteem and regret, due to their excel-

lent discipline; considerable sums have been ad-
vanced to the Spanish Government ; a Convention
has just been signed to regulate the re-payment of
them.

" The hope which I still retain of obtaining from
the Dey of Algiers a just reparation, has retarded
the measures which I may be obliged to take in
order to punish him, but I shall neglect nothing to
protect the French commerce from insult and piracy;
and striking examples have already taught the Alge-
rines, that it is neither easy nor prudent to brave the
vigilance of my naval force.
" Engagements, contracted by an ancient French

Colony: had ceased to be executed. After having

convinced myself that this inexecution was the re-
sult of inability, I have consented to open with it a
more efficacious aegociation, for the interests of the
Colonies and of Commerce.
" Many of my subjects have suffered by the mea-
sures taken by the Emperor of Brazil, in his war
with the Republic of Buenos Ayres ; some of their
vessels have been captured. The convention which
I hale just ratified, while it confirmE, with respect to

the right of blockade, a conservatory principle
always maintained by France, insures to them the
restitution of their property and an indemnity pro-
portioned to their loss. On this occasion, as on all
others, I owe praises to the French Marine, which
shews itself worthy of its noble mission.
" The successive shocks which have agitated
some of the new States of South America have left
the political situation of those State!: uncertain, and •
rendered it difficult to form regular relations with
them. The moment is, doubtless, not far distant
when I shall ke able to give to those relations a
stability advantageous to my subjects: meantime I
have appointed Consuls to watch over their interests.
" Such, gentlemen, is the happy state of our re-
lations with foreign Powers. Whatever may be
the events that the future reserves for us, I shall
certainly never forget that the glory of France is a
sacred deposit, and that the honour of being the
guardian of it is the fairest prerogative of my Crown.
" Order and peace prevail in the interior. French
industry,* already so justly appreciated, is daily dis-
tinguished by sew improvements. Some branches
of our agriculture and commerce are suffering ; but 1
hope that it will be possible for me to lessen the
evil, if I should not be called to cure it.
" The long inclemency of the seasons, and the
unfavourable delay which the harvest experienced,
awakened for some weeks the solicitude of my Go-
vernment. Distressing doubts with respect to the
state of our resources have been speedily dispelled
by more positive information. The subsistence of
all is assured ; and if the price of corn, while it aug-
ments the prosperity of the landholders, increases
for a moment the distress of the indigent, Provi-
dence his created beneficence to relieve those who
suffer.

the Chamber of Peers, is appointed Vice-Chancellor

" The Press, freed from restraints, enjoys entire
liberty. If licentiousness, its fatal enemy, still
spews itself, under the cover of a generous and
confiding law, public good sense, which becomes
more firm and enlightened, does justice to its aber-
rations : and the Magistracy, faithful to its noble
traditions, knows its duties, and will always fulfil
them.

raised to the dignity of Peers of the Kingdom, with
all the rights, honours, and prerogatives attached to it.

These Ordinances, addressed to the keeper of the
Seals, are all dated 24th January.

BUCHAREST, JAN. L.—The news seems to be
confirmed that the Turks passed the Danube at
Turno, and r^pulsed a small division of Russian in-
fantry. It has been reported for some days that
the enemy intended to attempt the passage with a
considerable force, but the want of subsistence, and
the condition of the roads, render such an attempt
next to impossible.
The garrison of Silistria, however, has been much
increased within these three months. That of
Giurgevo ,has been reinforced by 5,000 men, and
that of Widder. by 4,000. No alarm, however, is

felt at Rajowa.
The Gazette de France, dated Tuesday, contains
no news whatever.

(From the Journal des Debals of Monday. )
PARIS, JAN. 26.—There were two men in the
country who could give strength to the Ministry:
M. Chateaubriand and M. Pasquier. Between these
two it is known which way our inclination disposes
us. We thought that M. de Chateaubriand, with
hisgenius,fame,and love of Monarchy and of Liberty,
could give that to the Ministry which it wants—the
power of willing.
We cannot avoid, however, doing justice to the
great talents of M. Pasquier. His great experience
in business, the services he has rendered to liberty in
the Chamber of Peers, his oratorical powers—all ren-
dered him the worthy rival of M. de Chateaubriand.
To choose between them was good ; but to call
them both to power, and the thing was feasible, would
have been better.

(From the Quotidienne.)
A report was spread this evening that the Duke
of Mortemart liad refused the Foreign Department.
It was also added that M. de Reyneval had likewise
declined it. That much is certain, however, that
M. Bourdeau, the Director of the Registry, has been
appointed Under Secretary of State in the Adminis-
tration of Justice. Every thing induces us to believe
that the Ministry will open the Chambers with this
single modification.

(From the Constitutionnel.)
SMYRNA, DEC. 13.—Letters from Canea, dated
the 19th November, mention that Doctor Caporal,
of Smyrna, who was at Candin with Soleyman
Pacha, has been sent by that Chief to Canea, to con-
cert with Mustapha Pacha, and the English and
French Commanders, the means of concluding an
armistice between the Turks and the Greeks. The
interview took place the next morning, and a fa-
vourable issue was expected, because there seemed
to he a disposition on both sides to admit, as a
basis to the armistice, that each land-owner,
whether Greek or Turk, should gather in
the harvest of his property. Both parties
rely much on the spirit of conciliation of Captain
Robert, who commands the French fiigate La
Syrene, at anchor at Suda. The health of part of
the crew of the French ship Le Conquerant will re-
quire that the said ship should spend part of the
winter at Smyrna. It is thought that the French
Admiral, should he be obliged to go to the Archi-
pelago, would hoist his flag on board the Fleur de
Lys frigate, which he visited, and ordered to ma-
nazuvre, on the 10th. He expressed to the Com.
mander the satisfaction he felt at the discipline of
that ship, the skill of the crew, and the good order
that prevailed in every branch of the service.—

The necessity of placing the religion of our
fathers in security against any attack—to maintain in
my kingdom the execution of the laws, and at the
same time to insure among us the perpetuity of the
Priesthood, have induced me, after mature reflection,
to prescribe measures which I have felt to be neces-
sary. These measures have been executed with
that prudent firmness which:reconciles the obedience
due to the laws, the respect due to religion, and the
just regard to which its Ministers are entitled.
Communications will be made. to you on the state
of our finances. You will be happy to learn that
the Estimates of the Revenue for 1828 have been
exceeded. This increasing prosperity has not relaxed
the system of economy in which my Government
endeavours daily to advance farther, without, how-
ever, forgetting that useful expence is also neeessary,..

of your whole attention, will be presented to you.
A serious and important project will, above all, call
for your solicitude. It has been long since acknow-
ledged, that there is a necessity for a new municipal

THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY .0, 1829.

Meaning manufactures.

We, this day, present our readers with the
Speech of the King of FRANCE to the Cham-

bers, which we had expected to have been able

to give -yesterday, but our Express, owing to
various casualties, did not arrive till past twelve

o'clock last night. On another occasion we

hope to be more fortunate. The Straits of
Dover are not always favourable for speedy en-
terprise. Last year our Express reached The
Sun office by a quarter-past four in the after-
noon, being only twenty-five hours and a quarter
from Paris to London.

His most Christian Majesty's Speech is on

the whole highly satisfactory, breathing a tone of
conciliation and forbearance which must tend in
a great degree to alleviate any apprehensions o'
alarm for the repose of Europe being disturbed
so far as the present disposition of France is con•
cerned.

His Al AJESTY sets out with congratulating
,he Chambers upon the satisfaction he enjoys

ti having pleasing communications to make to

them. He then assures them that his relations
with Foreign Powers continue to be friendly,
and that notwithstanding the events which de-
solated the East, peace will not be disturbed
in the rest of Europe. This is all the notice
which he takes of the war between Russia and
Turkey, and perhaps, in the present delicate con-
juncture, any broader insinuations might widen
the breach or misunderstanding which is sup-
posed to exist between Russia and her watchful
Allies.

The pacification of Greece, and the deliverance
of the Morea by the French troops, acting in
concert with England and Russia, is then refer-
red to, and his MAJESTY compliments the.
English Navy for the sincere support afforded
to his soldiers, who take pleasure in recounting

the generous sympathy manifested by their brave
rivals in arms.

A solemn declaration notified to the PORTE,
(by the mission of M. JAUBERT, we presume)„
has placed the Morea and the neighbouring

islands under the protection of the three Powers.
This solemn act will, it is hoped, render a pro-
tracted occupation of Greece by the French

;mops unnecessary ; and his MAJESTY believes

(we must have some stronger proof,) that the
PORTE, becoming more enlightened, will cease
to oppose the treaty of July, which it may be
hoped (poor consolation) will lead to the re-es-
tablishment of peace in the East. We hope
the very same thing, but we, at the same time,
fear that the chances of peace are as dis-
tant as ever, and will continue so unless the
PORTE will condescend to be more tractable to
the wishes of the Allies—a circumstance not
very likely, while one of the Allies remains tie
bitter enemy of the PORTE. We apprehend
that England and France must interpose not
their friendly, because that can be trifled with,
but their armed mediation, which will brook no
equivocation, between Russia and Turkey, before
matters can be adjusted on a secure, if not a
satisfactory basis.

An overland despatch has reached the India
House, which was brought by Major Barnewall, who left
Bombay the 22d of October. We are sorry to find he
brings melancholy news respecting the state of health at
Bombay. Two of the Judges of that Presidency, Sir E.
West (Chief Justice) and Mr. Justice Chambers, had died.
Sir J. P. Grant is the only remaining Judge in the Pre-
sider7ey. Sir E. West, who is thus lost to India and to
his country, was a man of great talents and moral qualities.
He is known beyond his profession as the author of the
pamphlet on the Nature of Rent, published by him while
a Fellow of University College, in which he expounded the
same opinions on the subject which were about the same
time advanced by Mr. Malthus, and afterwards applied by
Mr. Ricardo. In his judicial capacity- his conduct was
marked by a zeal for justice and a determination to die.
countenance oppression, which made him a favourite, we be-
lieve, with the natives, though his occasional warmth of
temper (justified, perhaps, by the abuses which he had to
controul) set him at variance with sotne of the lawyers of
the Presidency. In addition to the two Judges, the death
of Mr. tridgman is reported to us, and he is described as
Advocate-General. In the previous accounts, however,
Mr. Dewar was Advocate-General, though, perhaps, act-
ing pro temporc till the arrival of Mr. Bridgman.—

The allusion to Spain proves nothing, Much
money has been thrown away upon that country,
and a convention has been entered into for the
repayment of the money ; but that convention
will be evaded on a similar plea to that of Hayti
—inability to perform its engagements, and
France will be the sufferer. But a recognition

of the debt will enable France hereafter to inter.
meddle in the affairs of Spain, whenever poli-
tical expediency may render it necessary.
With respect to the Dey of ALGIERS much
is threatened, but more is expected. The
1, blockade has neither protected French Com-
j merce, nor humbled the audacity of the Dey.
Probably the contemplated augmentation of the
French Navy may be with a view of enabling the
KING the better to punish the Corsair.

After alluding to Brazil, and the appointment
of Consuls to the South American Republics,

his MAJESTY refers to the internal situation
of France, which though not altogether exempt
from distress in some branches of Agriculture
and Commerce, is yet favourable. The Press
of France enjoys entire liberty. This is the
greatest victory which the Liberals have achieved,
and which tvihl, in its effects, prove the most be-
neficial to France.

The prosperous state of the Finances affords
occasion for congratulation, with a promise that
the system of economy will not be relaxed. Va-
rious laws will be submitted to the Chambers,
some of which are of great importance. In
short the Speech is altogether of a pacific elm-
racter, but we apprehend that it is not alto-
gether sincere in its professions—that more re-
mains in the .back ground than it is prudent to
divulge at present.

and a proclamation had been issued, dated the
Ist December, by President VICTORIA, ad-
dressed to the Mexican people, exhorting them
to place confidence i❑ the firmness of the Go-
vernment and to remain peaceable, avoiding be-
ing led into the snares of SANTA ANNA. In
the moan time the regular troops are stated to
have evinced the best disposition towards the
existing Government ; but it is but too plainly
strewn that the Government was in a very un-
settled state, and the prey of domestic troubles.

A Buenos Ayrcan Mail has arrived, and
brought letters from thence of the 12th Novem-
ber, and from Rio de Janeiro of sth December.
Arrivals of vessels at the former port 'were ex-
ceedingly numerous, one half of which would
be obliged to leave in ballast ; freights were
offered at reduced rates, and were at 51. per ton ;
they were scarcely to be procured. The re-
ported quantity of hides accumulated during the
war, which had been stated at a million and a
half, had been reduced to 600,000. As most
of the vessels that had arrived, to the number of
110 from the Ist October, were in ballast, ma-
nufactured goods were brisk at good prices.
The exchange upon England was 18d. per dol-
lar ; doubloons 48 paper dollars each, and they
were expected to be still higher. This decline
in the exchange had been occasioned by the nu-
merous shipments which were being made. Nu-
merous failures had taken place, particularly
among the native houses, and, the writer ob-
serves, the worst appears still to come. Settling
day in this country is likely to present, in minia-
ture, the same kind of distress which was felt in
Great Britain immediately after the close of the
late war. The accounts had arrived at Buenos
Ayres of the rupture between Colombia and
Peru. From Rio de Janeiro no news ; the ex-
change rather higher, 29id. per milrea.

Calcutta John Bulls of the 30th Aug. have
been received at the North and South American
Coffee-house. They contain but little that is
interesting. The steam-boat Hooghly was to
proceed up the river as far as Allahabad the fol-
lowing week, with the design of ascertaining the
practicability of establishing a steam communica-
ti NI with the Upper Provinces. Au extract of
a letter from Dooab, dated the 15th, ten is to
prove that the exceptions to the general failure of
the indigo crop are not so few as many seem dis-
posed to imagine. During the last 30 days we
have had incessant rains, which have proved of
the utmost benefit to the plant at this factory.
We commence manufacturing on the 20th. The
cultivation is remarkably fine, and, though ra-
ther dwarfish in comparison with former years,
yet, from the leafy state, we think, with some
reason, an excellent produce.

CRIMINAL INFORMATION—THE KING V. ELLIS.
Sir J. SCARLETT appeared to show cause against
a rule obtained by Mr. Erskine fora-criminal informa-
tion against Mr. Cartwright and John N. Ellis, for
something like a challenge sent to some Magistrates
of Cornwall, named Mr. John Scovel, Mr. Tre-
minier, Mr. Le Grace, Mr. Painter, and another
gentleman. As the affidavits were very voluminous
he (Sir J. Searlett) thought it would save time to
state the chronological order of the facts which led
to it. The gentleman for whom the Learned Coun-
sel appeared, was the son of Mr. J. Ellis, well known
in the county of Cornwall ; his father was formerly an
attorney, but was afterwards called into Parliament.
Ilk character had always stood high, and his rela-
tions were affluent. He had an uncle, a magistrate
of the county, who was much attached to him. The
uncle had introduced Mr. J. Ellis to his connections
as his nephew, and had made him a member of the
Cornwall Club. He bequeathed a great part of his
real estate to this faromitenephew. At this time,

the brother and sister of Mr. J. Ellis were dissatis-
fied with this disposal of the property, and com-
menced proceedings against the will in the Ecclesi-
astical Court, and brought up a former will which
they had found since their uncle's death. Mr. J.
Ellis allowed Mr. Pascoe, the- steward of the de-
ceased Mr. Ellis, to receive the rent of the tenants
of the estate as usual.

It turned out that the Court passed their judg-
ment against the will, and Mr. J. Ellis immediately
appealed to the Court of Delegates ; but as he was
possessed of no great personal property, he thought
the best mode of trying the question was to try it
in the county of Cornwall. He then brought an
action of ejectment against the tenants, and served
the usual notices. That action was defended, and
he prepared to meet it, but at the trial the pleas
were withdrawn, and the brother and sister of Mr.
Ellis agreed to pay all the costs of the proceedings
in the Ecclesiastical Court on condition of his ceas-
ing to prosecute his appeal. He saw no reason for
prosecuting the appeal farther and gave it. up. He
then established his residence in Penzance, and it
was impossible for the gentlemen on the other aide
not to know the whole of these facts as they were
a matter of public notoriety. Mr. Scovel, one of
the parties now complaining, called upon Mrs.
Ellis to congratulate her on the termination
of the law-suit. This was in 1824, and in August,
1826, Mr. Ellis had at first an idea of going to re-
side abroad, but he altered his intention, and built a
mansion on his deceased uncle's estate, at Penzance.
He had previously qualified as a magistrate. Mr.
Scovel called at that time, being still on terms of
great intimacy, and expressed his satisfaction that he
was not going to lose so good a neighbour, and
asked Mrs. Ellis when Mr. Ellis was going to be
among them, moaning to take his seat as a magis-
trate on the bench, he having already been qualified.
She replied that she believed very soon. Shortly

afterwards, however, an adjourned General Quarter
Sessions was held at Penzance, and Mr. E. attended
to take his seat. There were then
_present the

Magistrates who had been named. He was then
told by the Magistrates that they were attending
other business, and could not swear him in. They

shortly afterwards adjourned, and the next da► one
of them called upon Mr. Jordan, Mr. Ellis's solici-
tor, and informed him that the Magistrates had
formed a resolution not to administer the oaths, or
to act with Mr. Ellis. Mr. Jordan inquired the
reason, but the Magistrate declined giving any. Mr.
Ellis applied the next day to be sworn, and was told
by the Magistrates that they had made up their
minds not to do it, or to state any reason for declin-
ing, and Mr. Ellis was obliged to submit. Dur-
ing the whole of these transactions, the young
gentleman, for whom the Learned Counsel
had now appeared, was at Cambridge, and
abroad, and received the intelligence of their
proceedings from his family. Mr. J. Ellis made
several other applications, but the Magistrates.
would never assign any cause, and he at last wrote
to the whole five implicated, requesting their at-
tendance at a General Quarter Sessions, when he
intended publicly to assert his right to the oaths.
They did not attend, and he was sworn without
hesitation by other Magistrates. Mr. Ellis still de-
manded an explanation, but in vain. About this
time Mr. Ellis, junior, returned to England, and
finding such a cloud hanging over the honor of his
family he sent a letter from London by a friend
named Goddard, to each of the five gentlemen, who
took no notice of it ; and being the heir entail to his
father's estate, he felt himself called on to de-
mand an explanation of the accusation, which
i►nputed some obscure crime to his father. He
then wrote a letter, which was warm, but
might well he excused under the circumstances,
to the three lay Magistrates, which was the subject
of this application. This letter extracted the ground
of the accusation, which was from their affidavits,
that they had read in some newspaper a report of a
trial in the Ecclesiastical Court, in which Sir John
Nicholl had declared against the will for the de-
fendant, and had said that it was the mechanical
execution of it to which he objected, as it was as
bad as if the man had been dead, and that Mr.
Ellis deserved some punishment. Mr. Ellis now
swore that there was et) such expression contained in
the short-hand writer's notes, and he believed that no
such expression was used. This was the cause
which led to the letter complained of, and the
Learned Counsel submitted, that it did not call for
the interference of the ourt.

sent General Milkovitz to Bucharest, to act as Vice-
President in the administration of Wallachia during
his absence.

We learn from Fokschani that the troops, both
infantry and cavalry, which had gone into winter_
quarters in the vicinity both in Wallachia and Nlol-
davia, had received orders to march immediately to
Little Wallachia, and had set out on 29th Decemler.
The reason of this is said to be, that the Turks in
Widdin had received large reinforcements, and that
Tchapan Oglou, with a large body of cavalry, had
come from Nicopoli to Turno. It is said that
Kutschuk Achmet, Pacha of Giurgevo, is appointed
Governor of Silistria, and his predecessor in the latter
command to the post of Governor of Shumla.

The English Funds have been very buoyant this
morning, which, in a great measure, may be at-
tributed to the Speech of his most Christian Ma-
jesty, which is considered very pacific, and the ap-
parent scarcity of stock in the market. Consols
opened at 86i 7, both for money and time, and an
improvement took place to 871, but they have since
receded to 87?-, 1. This being the anniversary of
the Accession of his Majesty to the Throne it is a
holiday at the Bank, and to-morrow, being the Mar-
tyrdom of King Charles, will be another holiday.

VIENNA, JAN. 15.
The Courrier de Smyrnc of the 15th of Dec. has
the following, as the latest news from Candia:—
Letters from Canea of the 19th of November,
say, that Dr. Caporal from Smyrna, who was in
Candia with Suleiman Pacha, had been sent by the
latter to Canea to confer with Mustapha the Go-
vernor, and the English and French commanders, on
the means of bringing about an armistice between
the Turks and. Greeks. The meeting was to take
place the following day, and was expected to end
favourably, both sides being inclined to adopt as the
basis of the agreement, that every land-holder,
whether Greek or Turk, should gather the produce
of his own land.

Vora Cruz Papers to the 4th ult. have this
morning been received at the North and South
American Coffee-house, being two days later
than our dates per the packet. They announce
the arrival of despatches from the city of
Mexico, stating another attempt at insurrection
by the National Militia had been made on the
29th November to surprise the Artillery, call-
ing for the expulsion of the old Spaniards in
favour of G umtnErto. The following day it wa•

Mr. ERSKINE, Mr. COLERIDGE, and Mr. ToMLIN-
SON, supported the rule, and contended that Mr. J.
Ellis had not even then afforded an explanation,
which would authorise the complainants in associat-
ing with him as a Magistrate ; and added, that even
he had not ventured to swear that the expressions
were not used by Sir John Nicoll.
Lord TENTERDEN said, that the Court would not
do their duty, if they did not make the rule absolute,
but from what had fallen from Mr. Erskine, that
they entertained no hostility, the Court hoped that
they had then done all that the parties required.

FRY AND CHAPMAN'S BANKRUPTCY.

This morning a special meeting of the creditors
under the Commission of Bankruptcy awarded
against the above firm, was held in the Commis-
"nere Court, Basinghall-street. At the last meet-
ing it was resolved, in consequence of the extensive
nature of the debts, that time should be given until
to-day, before the Bankiupts passed their examina-
tion, .in order that the creditors might have ample
time for satisfying themselves as to the regularity
and general correctness of the accounts which exhi-
bited such enormous items under the title of bad
debts.
Soon after twelve o'clock the Commissioners,
Messrs. Holroyd, Smith, and Trebeck took their
seats in the room appointed for the ninth list. The
Meeting was not by any means fully attended. Se-
veral small debts were pros ed ; there were two,
however, which exceeded 4001. The bankrupts are
in attendance.
Mr. CHING attended as Counsel for a gentleman,
named Penson, who it appeared was connected with
the Dartmouth Bank, of the firm of Hisule and
Holdsworth, the amount far which Mr. Penson
wanted to prove was 15,0001.; it arose out of some
partnership concern, and the Learned Counsel was
proceeding with his case when
Mr. Commissioner TREBECK said that all that
Could be done at present would be to allow a claim
of the allegations of Mr. Penson.—The sth of Fe-
bruary was time the fixed for that purpose.
