NEWS FROM THE THEATRE OF WAR.

BERLIN, MAY 15.—The St. Petersburg,: Gazette
gives the following account, dated April 24 :—" On the
11th of April three detachments of Turks crossed to
the left bank of the Danube, into Little Wallachia, at
the villages of Zigaulet and Dessa, and into the vil-
lage of Rasto. At the first two points they were re-
pulsed without any loss on our side. At Dissa, in
a sharp skirmish with the Cossacks, the Turks had
15 men killed and wounded, and three Cossacks were
killed. The attack of the enemy upon the ♦illage of Rasta
was more serious ; about 500 men who crossed from the
Turkish side in sixteen boats, landed and marched direct to
Rasca. Lieut. Pawlowski, who was stationed there with
a company of musketeers, formed his 150 men into a
small squadron, advanced to meet the enemy, and
after having received some volleys from them, charged
them with the bayonet and put them to flight ;
during the action 41 Turks were killed, and 22 taken
prisoners, among whom was the commander, Hassan
Effendi Inman, of the mosque of Lonea. Lieutenant
Pawlowski, closely pursuing the enemy, reached his boats,
and took four of them, six others sunk with the people
in them. We had one non-commissioned officer and two
privates killed, 125 wounded."
According to the latest accounts from Major-General
Wachten, who commanded the troops in Sizeboli, the
enemy had not repeated his attacks up to the Nth April.
Two new redoubts have just been completed, and afford
perfect security to the fortress.
The Flora frigate, which cruizes off the Channel of
Constantinople, returned home on the 17th April, with
two transports belonging to the enemy, which it had cap-
tured. Proper measures have been adopted to prevent,
by means of small vessels, the free communication be-
tween the Channel of Constantinople and the coast of
Asia Minor.

Accounts worthy of credit confirm from all quarters the
preceding accounts of the great want of provisions as well
in the Turkish fortress, as in Constantinople.
ST. PETERSBURGH, MAY s.—His Majesty has been
pleased to address a rescript to Prince Eugene of Wirtem-
burg, with the insignia of the order of St. Andrew in dia-
monds, for his distinguished services in the campaign of
1828 ; also to M ijor-General Bebutoff for his admirable
defence of Akhalsiff, with the insignia of the order of St.
Ann of the first class. The St. Petersburgh Gazette con-
tains besides a numerous list of promotions and appoint-
ments. The Neva began to get clear of ice in the night of
the 2d May. This morning the guns of the fortress an-
nounced the re-establishment of the communication be-
tween the different parts of the city.
HAMBURGH, MAY 15.—Letters from Bealystok, the
head•qunrters of the army in Lithuania, say that several
regiments of that corps had received orders to hold them-
selves in readiness to march ; they seem intended to rein-
force the corps of General Sacken, a part of which has
gone to the Principalities.
AMSTERDAM, MAY 19.—Exchange on London, 12
7 5-10 ; two months, 12.

Accounts have been received from Vera Cruz of
the 30th March, which are of a more favourable
description than the last. Tranquillity has been
preserved. General SANTA ANNA has been ap-
pointed Governor of Vera Cruz.

Brussels Papers of yesterday's date have been
received this morning. They contain some accounts
from the Courier de Smyrne respecting the mission of
Capt. La BLANC to Candia, but they are not of a
nature sufficiently interesting to.obtain room to-day :
VIENNA, MAY 10.—Continuation of the accounts from
Candia of 6th and 17th March, extracted from the Courier
de Smyrne of sth April :
" Captain Leblanc, after receiving the answer of Mus-
tapha Pacha, had several conferences on board his brig
with Baron fteineck, who replied that as he had been sent
to Candia by the Greek Government, he could only act ac-
cording to its instructions, and he had not yet received any
coinciding with the mission of Captain Leblanc.' The
latter wished to confer with some of the Greek Chiefs
who are really Candiots and settled in the island, but he
could not allow his object, because the members of the
Supreme Council, consisting of individuals who have no-
thing to do with the real interest of the Candiot Greeks,
and only seek to connect themselves by robbery and plun.
der, every where put themselves forward. Capt. Leblanc
was, therefore, obliged to content himself with his confer-
ence with Baron Rieneck, and left Suds on the 26th
February. Though the mission of this officer has not al-
lowed the object that Admiral de Rigny proposed, the
Turks have committed no hostilities since their sallies of
4th and 7th February, but remain iu their fortresses.
This is at all events an alleviation in our situation, which
might easily lead to a radical improvement, if it were le-
solved to employ the means that really exist to put an end
to this civil war, the continuance of which seems wholly
incompatible with the views of the European Powers,
which are exclusively directed to pacification.
" MARCH 17.—Captain Leblanc is gone from Suda to
Candia to bring a letter from Admiral de Rigny to
Suliemaa Paella, the Governor, of the same tenor as that
which he had declared to Mustapha, the Governor of
Canea. SuLeman Paella's answer is not known. Cap-
tain Leblanc, on taking leave, was presented by him with
a very handsome sabre. Baron Reineck embarked at
Castelli a week ago, and has left the island. We
hear that the 100 Albanians who composed his body guard
went with him. M. Heine, commander of Karabusa, has
succeeded Baron Reineck, in his functions, as Consul of the
Greeks at Crete. Count Capo D'lstria has therefore not
given up the cause, and if he has recalled Baren Rieneck,
it is probably because the latter was tired of the life he
led here, and of the part which he was obliged to act.
Since the Baron's departure perfect anarchy prevails in
the Councils of the Cretans arid among the people ; the
Baron at least knew how to maintain order among his
people ; he chewed real talents, as well in military as civil
affairs, and it mu't be said to his honour, that by his mo-
deration and generosity he mitigated the rigorous orders,
the execution of which was entrusted to him.

" Colonel Heine, whose character does not stand high
even among the Greeks, is expected in the interior of the
island, where he is to preside in the Cretan Senate, whose,
sole occupation at present is to sell to advantage the oil of
last year of which the Turks were robbed.
" For some days past we have seen no Russian men-of-
war on our coast, we therefore hope that they have with-
drawn, and that the blockade of the island has been raised
in consequ-nce of the observations made by Admiral de
Rigny to Admiral Heyden. A Turkish corvette, brig, and
schooner are at anchor at Suda, under the guns opposite
Kaly bce."
Bausssur, Mar 17.—Their Royal Highnesses Prince
Frederick and his Consort set out for Berlin yesterday
morning. It is affirmed that the First Chamber of the
States Gene •al, in its sittings yesterday, adopted, almost
unanimously, the project of law relative to the press, and
refused its assent to the address of the King, transmitted
to it by the Second Chamber. The passage of couriers
through Berlin, to and from St. Petersburgh, Paris, and
London, is again extremely active.
May 19.--The Emperor of Morocco has ordered notice
to be given to the Consul of the Netherlands at Tangiers,
that he has again caused all persons interested in the Mo-
rocco privateers to respect all ships belonging to the Ne-
therlands that they may fall in with, and to treat them
with all the regard des to I} nation which is one of the
most ancient allies of the empire.
In the sitting of the Second Chamber of the States-
General, yesterday, the report of the Central Sec-
tion of the project of law, against the mixture of poison-
ous substances in bread, &c. was brought up and read.
The President observed, that it was usual to allow of an
interval between the receipt of the report and the debate,
but as the Section had made no objections to any part of
the subject, and as it Was a matter 'that rentrirWowedition
he proposed that the discussion should commence imme-
diately, and the proposed law was agreed to mini-

manly ($4 Members present), sad ordered to Le seat is
the usual form to the First Chamber, which is expected to
discuss it in the sitting of to-day. Several Members of
the Second Chamber have left this city to-day to return to
their homes.

Lisbon Papers of the 9th May have been received.
It will be seen diet DoN Nltcutzt. has suddenly
stopped short in his fit of humanity. Twelve
people were to be executed on the 7th, and eleven
banished :
LisaoN, MAY 3.—On the Ist instant his Majesty visited
the camp near Belem where he received the Battalion of

fidlowing effect :—" By sentence of the 9th of April last,
twenty-three prisoners were condemned for participating
in the rebellion, which commenced in this city the 16th of
May last year; viz.—eleven to be banished for various
periods, and twelve to death." This sentence was intimated
to them to-day, and will be carried into execution on the
7th inst. Their heads are to he cut off and exposed for
three days, some on the gallows, others on elevated posi-
tions at the places where their crimes were committed. The
names of the twelve individuals are annexed.

It is reported that the ships in Toulon have re-
ceived orders to hold themselves in readiness for a
new destination, supposed to be Algiers, and that
Admiral DE RIGNY is to have the chief command.

The following letter has been received from the
Agent to the North and South American Coffee-
house, dated Port Louis, Feb. 25 :
" This island was ♦isited with a severe gale of wind on
the 9th inst., but as it continued to blow from the same
quarter, about N.E., did not amount to a hurricane. The
shipping in. the harbour, owing to the prompt measures of
the port department in furnishing additional hawsers, did
not sustain any injury. The Meteor, Captain Wilson,
which had just arrived from Calcutta, with a cargo of rice
and wheat, and was lying at the flag buoy, put to sea, and
very soon lost her rudder, and drifted towards Bourbon,
and was within a mile or two of the reef•, with every
prospect of inevitable destruction to all hands, when pro-
videntially a change of wind drifted her clear of the
impending danger. She had at one time six feet water in
her hold, and the whole of her cargo is entirely lost. She
regained the port on the 21st. The Nerbudda, 600 tons,
Captain Patrick, was also lying at the flag buoy, and
followed the example of the Meteor in putting to sea, and
it has since been ascertained was lately dismasted and had
the half of her poop torn away. We have had several
arrivals of crippled French vessels from Bourbon, and learn
that there the hurricane raged in all its violence, the whole
of the eastern side of the island being devastated, and
about sixty vessels of different cl asses, which were lying at
St. Paul's, St Denis, and theout-ports, haveall experienced
in a more or less degree the tremendous effects of the storm,
and on the 21st about 20 sail were missing. The Re-
parateur, Captain Bazin, and La Lose schooner, sunk in
sight of St. Denis, and their crews saved by a miracle.
The Mary, Dobson, was on her passage up from Bourbon,
and was thrown on her beam ends, in which situation
she remained several hours, owing to the shifting of her
ballast. Two English ships are reported to be in the
channel, between this island and Bourbon, totally digs
masted ; one of them is reported to be the Harmony,
perhaps from Calcutta. At Bourbon several houses were
unroofed, some of the bridges carried away, and those
vessels which were on the stocks; from the accounts re-
ceived, it would appear that the hurricane at Bourbon
has been equal in violence to that, which this island was
visited in 1818."

Arrivals .at Port Louis in distress—The Earnest,
loaded for France, put in leaky, loss of boats, spars, &c.
The Bonne Mere put in leaky, loss of rudder, quarter-
galleries, boats, &c. _ _ _

The Malyache Montoneer, put in leaky, loss of main
and mizen.inast, &e.

The La Girond, the stern separated from the main
part of the ship, mizen-mast sprung, loss of sails, &c.
The L'Amelie leaky, and loss of main-mast, &c.
The following had returned to Bourbon with partial
loss :—June, Prosper, Le Romillie, Eurydice, and
Michel Adolphus.
The Eupheniie had nearly foundered, having nearly
eight feet water; the Voltigsur spoke the British ship
Harmony, completely dismasted ; accounts have been re-
ceived of her having reached Le Etang safe.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
The Loan CHANCELLOR sat at Westminster to-day.
MORRIS V. DAVIS.

Upon the application of Mr. SUGURN, the further di-
rections in this case were ordered to come on peremptorily
on the second day of Sittings after the Terra.
The COURT proceeded with motions, but nothing of any
public importance came before it.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
JUDGMENT.-OPERA HOUSE.
CHAMBERS V. WATERS.

The VICE-CHANCELLOR, on taking his seat this morn-
ing, pronounced a most elaborate judgment in this case,
which was a bill filed by Mr. Chambers, the late banker
(and afterwards carried on by that gentleman's assignees)
to compel the specific performance of an agreement. The
short facts are as follows :—ln the year 1817, Mr. Waters
became the purchaser of the King's Theatre, but in a suit
instituted in this Court by Mr. Taylor, that purchase was
set aside, and a new sale directed. On the second sale,
Mr. Waters was again declared the purchaser at
the sum of 70,1501., but being at that time not
able to pay the deposit of 6,0001, that sum was
advanced by Mr. Chambers, and subsequently he ad-
vanced another sum of 28,000/., to enable. Waters to
complete his contract ; for security of which an assign-
ment of the theatre was executed by Waters to Chambers.
Chambers afterwards, in the year 1821, advanced other
sums of money, on the security of a warrant of attorney,
and in consequence of a quarrel taking place he entered
up judgment, and took possession of the theatre, and the
private house of Mr. Waters. In this situation of
things the Sheriff's officers in possession refused to
permit the performance to go on without the consent of
Mr. Chambers, when, on application being made to him,
for that purpose, he not only gave his consent, but actually
advanced a further sum of 6,0001. to enable the perform-
ance to go on, and withdraw the execution from the
private house of Mr. Waters. Notwithstanding the legal
possession of the theatre by Mr. Chambers, he allowed
Waters to exercise the sole management. At this time
(1821) Waters, in consequence of being outlawed, in an
action brought against him by one of the performers,
went abroad, and was furnished with a letter of credit by
Mr. Chambers. Ile (Waters), however, previously to leav-
ing this country, empowered a gentleman named Mills to
dispose of the theatre, and shortly afterwards a deed of
agreement was entered into between Mills and Chambers,
whereby the latter became the purchaser of the theatre at
the sum of 80,0001., for which he was to deduct the
am aunt of his securities, and pay over the balance, and to
discharge Waters from all future liabilities. Two months,
however, were allowed fir this agreement to be ratified by
Mr. Waters, and if he refused his assent it was to be de-
Clared null and void ; Waters came privately over to this
country, and, in the presence of his son, ratified the
agreement between Mills and Chambers. Subsequent-
ly, however, he refused to complete the agreement,
and hence the necessity of Mr. Chambers filing the
present bill for a specific performance. By the answer
of Mr. Waters he contends that Mr. Chambers had no
right to purchase, he being at the time a trustee of the
property. His Honour thought there was nothing in this
objection, for if Chambers was a trustee he never acted in
that capacity, and there could be no doubt he held an
equitable security, and could have compelled Waters to sell.
Another objection was that the price was too low, and it wax
stated that when Mr. Ebers was in negociation for the pur-
chase of the theatre for a nobleman, that Chambers refused to
let it be sold under the sum of 103,0001., and that the boxes
might be so let as to produce a rent of 17,6001. Now, he
(the Vice-Chancellor) was of opinion that there was no
evidence that ever a larger sum had been offered than
80,000/, and the profits from 1818 to 1825, not at all
increasing; that the price agreed to lie given by Mr.
Chambers was a fair price ; there could be no doubt but
that Mills was authorised to act for Waters, therefore,
the evidence had totally failed to support the defendant's
case. With respect to that part of the evidence of
Walters, alleging that there was a conspiracy be-
tween Chambers, Mayhew, and Mills to oppress him,
his Honour thought it was quite the other way,
for Waters never could have paid the deposit when
he became the purchaser of the theatre, or made good the
sulsequent p iyments, had it not been for the kindness of
Mr. Chambers. And, again, in the year 1820, when
Mr. Chambers put an execution into the theatre, had he
proceeded to sale, the performance must have stopped, and
Waters would have been reduced to beggary. In his
opinion Chambers throughout the whole business had acted
with the greatest kindness to Waters. On the whole of
the case, therefore, he was decidedly of opinion that
the evidence in support of the defendant's case had alto-
gether failed, and the Court in consequence felt bound to
decree a specific performance of the agreement of 1821,
according to the prayer of the bill, and to order that
Waters pay all the costs up to the time of bearing, except
those of Mr. Taylor's executors.

By this decision the Opera-house will come int) the
possession of the assignees of Mr. Chambers's bankruptcy.
