(Fao24. otr coaausecornENT.)
The different portions of this small army occupy the
same position as when I last addressed you. The country
continues in a state of tranquillity, which I trust may be
lasting, although I must confess I have my fears on that
head. The Minister of War is recruiting the army ; but
the resources for paying them are so limited, that these
men, as a matter of course, will turn in favour of the
golden calf. The army of must countries is a mere machine,
which can always he sent to work either one way or other,
by money. The Princese Regent continues to recover slowly,
hut every hope is entertained for her ultimate restoration
to health. The corn harvest commenced some time ago,
and, I understand, that in this, as well as in oil and fruit,
there has not been a better appearance of crop for the last
20 years. The olive trees and the vines are loaded ; but
with all these blessings, which Providence has so plen-
tifully bestowed upon these people, they are dreadfully be-
hind hand in all sorts of improvement. To give you some
idea of this, I need only mention that their mode of
thrashing corn, is by allowing the young cattle to tread
upon it ; and that one of their modes of begging for the
Church, are by its crafty servants going about the streets
with drum, bagpipes, and flags, soliciting charity for the
Holy Ghost. Few would believe that such gross ignorance
exists in the nineteenth century, in a country so near Eng-
land and France. It may easily he imagined, however,
that in such a state of things, a poor nobility, who depend
a good deal on Government—a rich clergy, whose wealth
is derived from this state of ignorance—and a corrupt
magistracy, and other administrators of the law, who also
gain money and power through thel same means, should be
anxious to keep up the old mode of Government, instead
of one that would, in time, put an end to all these evil,,
and improve the condition of the great body of the people.
But to give you an instance that some improvement is
taking place, (small as it may be) I was yesterday dining
at one of the first rate Restaurateurs in this place, where at
a table near me was seated a party, consisting of a friar, of
the Order of St. Dominique, an officer in his uniform,
and several gentlemen, civilians, all Portuguese. Soon
after I came in, they all got up and drank the health
of Mr. Canning, as the friend of the Portuguese, and
success to his Administration. I, being the only Englishman
in the room, of course, took upon myself to express
my thanks; and, so soon as the waiter brought me wine, I
proposed the health of Don Pedro the Fourth and the Con.
stitution, observing that I regretted my inability to give
them sufficiently strong proofs of the good and kind feeling
entertained by my countrymen at home towards their na-
tion. They afterwards sung the Constitutional Hymn, in
which none appeared to take a more eager or enthusiastic
part than the friar, who frequently expressed himself in
terms of high admiration of England. You may suppose
that be did not belong to the Apostolical Junta. Our
troops mix with the people, and seem on the best terms
with them, although a soldier of the Sd Guards having re-
mained out of the barracks a few nights ago, got into some
quarrel with a Portuguese soldier, who stabbed the English-
man with his bayonet, but the wound has not proved
mortal. The typhus fever broke out this week amongst
the lit battalion of the Grenadier Guards, at the barracks
of Campo d'Ourique ; but, by the skilful treatment of the
surgeons, it has been prevented from making any progress.
As yet only two men have fallen victims to it. General
Bouverie, as well as Gen. Clinton, have shown much zeal
and attention on the occasion, and I trust it will not turn
out of a serious nature.

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 21, 1827.

Some noble opposers of the Corn Bill cannot
get over Mr. CANNING'S allusion to them the
other night in the House of Commons, but we
do not see why they should feel so sore on the
subject, unless there be truth in the remarks
which he made, or, in homely language, unless
the cap fits them. We do not pretend to accu-
rate knowledge of the privileges of Parliament,
but we thought that freedom of • debate was so
thoroughly recognised, that no one would have the
hardihood to question it. It is exercised pretty
freely by some Noble Lords, when they talk of
new-made Peers being rubbish, and have the pre-
sumption to call Mr. CANNING the most pro-
fligate Minister that the country ever had, but
this is the very stamp of persons who are sure to
make the greatest outcry against any thing ap-
proaching to retaliation. For what is the real his-
tory of this mighty outrage which Mr. CANNING
is said to have committed ? Why, it is simply this:
The Right Hon. Gent. sees a Bill brought in
by the Earl of LIVERPOOL, strangled in its
progress through the Lords, by the very col-
leagues of that Noble Lord, acting in concert
with the tag, rag, and bobtail of the Peerage : in
short, with all the charming varieties of Whig
and Tory, Radical and Ultra. Having on his
shoulders the Government of this Empire, and
considering the settlement of the Corn Question
of vital importance, he is naturally provoked at the
species of opposition offered to it, and says what
he thinks of it in that assembly where he has the
same full privilege of speech which Noble Lords
have in the Upper House. Some of that illustrious
body call him aprofligate Minister ; and he subse-
quently remarks on their factious opposition to
the Corn Bill. He made no complaint of their
abuse, (the assertion being palpably false, and
therefore harmless), and if they had the
same conviction with regard to his observa-
tions, no doubt they would have been
equally quiet. But they want to keep up
their rent-rolls, and not to part with popularity,
though at an early period of life, their Lordships
must have learnt the impossibility of eating their
bun and having it too. In the case of Earl
GREY, time may have obliterated this early
lesson ; but that rising prop of the Protestant
Church, the Earl of WINCIIIILSRA, has not
been so long out of the nursery that he can
plead ignorance of its precepts. No doubt
he is a fine handsome well-dressed Lord enough,
and has shewn much original genius in his view
of the Catholic Question, hut we would strongly
advise him to match himself with his equals in

intellect, and not come in contact with Mr.
CANNING. HOMER tells many melancholy
stories about rash youths attacking such warriors
as HECTOR and ACHILLES.

The Paris Papers of Monday and the Etoile
of Tuesday's date have been received, but they
contain little of importance. According to the
Etoile, the Duke of VILLA HERMOSA has re-
turned to Madrid from France, and many
great Noblemen who: have been banished or
fled to foreign countries from the political
tyranny of FaRDINAND, are on the point of re-
turning home, to trust the treacherous friendship
of that forgiving Monarch. Were they to return
in patriot arms, with the numerous exiles wander-
ing forlorn in other regions, it would he better
for themselves, and far more beneficial to their
unhappy country. But the day of retribution,
though slow, is not the less sure—and FERDI-
NAND, and his dark advisers, may attempt to stifle
the murmurs of their dungeon captives, but they
need not hope thereby to avert the accumulating
vengeance of an angry people. The recent
change in the direction of affairs in Portugal is
rather ominous to the Apostolical cause and its
deluded adherents in Spain. Trickery and guile
may prosper for a time, but truth and the
righteous cause will triumph at last. The ene-
mies of Constitutional liberty have laboured
hardtheir vocation to reduce Portugal to
but in co doing they

level,
have shown more clearly that the enjoyment
of freedom is inseparable from the happiness
of a nation, and the proud character of its
Government. Slavery destroys the happiness of
a people without increasing that of their oppres-
sor, while the dissemination of liberty,
air we breathe, blesses all alike. like the
The Etoile contains no news from Greece.
Under the head of St. Petersburgh, it gives a long
but uninteresting account of the operations of the
Russian army of Georgia against the Persians.

Frankfort Papers of the 14th inst. have been
received this morning. The wool fair, at Leip-
sic, turned out rather well, and at higher prices
than last year. The Committee of Inquiry into
the Secret Societies in Poland has made its R

port to the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE, but
we are not favoured with the result of their
labours, which must, no doubt, have been very
impartial. The best plan to prevent Secret
Societies, for political purposes, is to give people
a Government dispensing justice and freedom
with a liberal hand. Where the constitution is
sound, all goes on well, but when people meet
privately to discuss public questions, it affords a
strong presumption that there is something
" rotten in the state of Denmark." The only
true way to prevent the unpleasant consequences
likely to follow from such evils, is to remove
their cause with all due circumspection and
promptitude. A clear conscience is the best
advocate, and simple integrity in the happy
government of a people, is worth a thousand
laws, though dictated by State necessity. In
fact a removal of the cause supersedes the
necessity :

Letters from Leipsic say that it is hoped the King
Saxony will remit to the holders of fiefs the tax which they
ought to pay at the accession of every new sovereign. Th
tax or line is 10 per cent. of the value, and the number
of these fiefs is very considerable—the city of Leipsic alone
possesses 17 of them.

In another column we have a detailed account
of the unfortunate defeat of the Greeks before
Athens. It appears that their discomfiture 01
mainly attributable to unforeseen causes—a cir'
cumstance almost always attendant upon cony
bined operations, where the triumph of the whole
depends upon the success of each particulg;
division, a thing rarely attainable in the best
concerted plan. But when not accomplished'
the reverse is always the more disastrous
in proportion to the dependance placed upl
that division which happens to miscarry ;
this, unfortunately, was the case with the Greek 6;
Their design was admirable, but their means
execution were scanty, and the consequence 1105
been lameatably disastrous. We have, hos':
ever, reason to believe that the accounts of their
loss are much exaggerated. The Acropolis
still held out at the last information from tbal
quarter. The success of the Turks will no doubt
incite them to acts of aggression beyond thei
strength, and they may soon pay for their te-
merity. A partial reverse ought not t°,,
discourage the friends of Greece. In a war 0:
such diversity of character, it cannot be expecte('
that every enterprise should be successful. Thes

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
ROSCOMNION PEERAGE.

The evidence -in this case having been concluded on a
former day,
Mr. TAYLOR appeared at the bar to reply on behalf of
the first claimant to vote in the election of Peers for Ire-
land, under the Act of Union. His client claimed as the
descendant of the seventh son of the first Earl of Roscom-
Mon, and therefore the Learned Counsel felt it neces-
lavy to trace the fate of the six preceding sons and their
descendants, in order to let in the line of the claimant.—
Re showed the extinction of the descendants of the two
first sons, as well as cf the third son, under whom a coun-
ter-claimant let up a right to the vote. The coun-
ter-claim he characterised as a mere adventure, and
'viewed it as totally unsupported. He held that the
(.!:Positions which bad been taken, showed that the
three following sons had died without issue, and that
ra the evidence produced to their Lordships, the
would feel bound to come to the conclusion
t 1; his client was the party entitled to the right of
7°414, from the line in which he claimed to have descended.
07: discussing the evidence of the extinction of the issue
-,:e.„%ix sons, the Le ed Counsel then proceeded to
arlon7° descent of his client from the seventh son, Robert
Dillon,
Waslt p roved in the Irish Home of Lords, that
Robert Dillon
was married, and had two sons, of whom
James was the eldest. James married first a lady, by whom
I,e had two sons, who both died without issue ; lie married
a second timeand had three sons, Michael, Francis, and
'Tame', of whom Michael, the eldest, was the great grand-
father of the present claimant. Michael married and had two
sons, named John, who died young, and James,the surgeon, of
Moor-street, Dublin, who was so often mentioned in course of
the proceedings. It was true there was no other evidence
of Michael's marriage than general report, because he was
4 Roman Catholic, and no register of their marriages was
kept. James, the surgeon, was also married, and had two
ikins, Michael and Anthony, of whom the former was the
fildl'ar of the present claimant. There was no other evi-
en" °f James's marriage than that of his father's, for
the same reason, viz. because he was a Catholic. Michael,
the father of the claimant, was a Protestant, and his mar-
riage, and the baptism of the claimant, were both on record.
He was killed in 1798, at the battle of New Ross, while
fighting against the Irish Rebels as n red from a return
of the killed in that engageme

his client's claim, the Learned
Ro-
bert, the former claimant, had bee said,

queathed the papers in the •
the
Roscommon Peerage to
James the surgeon ; that they never Came
into James's pos-
session was easily accounted for, by
James having died in 1800, and Robert circumstance of
him two years. There was another strongsvc7 survived
+a nee
in favour of the claimant, and that was Robeertu'l,n'm'alt-
ing Michael, the claimant's father, his residuary
legatee, which of course lapsed in consequence of Michaele
death in 1798. In conclusion, the Learned Counsel said
the new claimant, Francis Stephen Dillon, never dared to
urge the pretence of a claim, till Robert and Michael, and
Lady Margaret Manning, who could easily disprove it,
were dead ; and he hoped their Lordships would not listen
to his claim, now put forward at the twelfth hour, and
would at once decide in favour of his client.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL rose to reply, but
rupted by was inter-
Lord Rinasratx, who said it would be
in their Lordships to hear the Attorney-General,l unless he
could say, at the outset, that he had a reasonable presump-
tion that the new claimant was descended from the fourth
son. It would be idle to hear him traced to an intermediate
source. It was alleged that the fourth son was married to a
lady of family in Devonshire ; but if that was the fact? it

Was very extraordinary that no eviAence whatever was pro-
duced establishing it.
Lord Listxmci concurred with the Noble and Learned
Lord, and added, that after the great length of time
consumed in hearing this cause, it was a great hardship
that they should he obliged to discuss this new claim, of
which they had never beard before.
The Loan CHANCELLOR said, that though it was a pain-
ful duty, yet the interests of public justice required that the
new claim should be investigated ; but at the same time he
thought that, as recommended by the Noble Lord (Redes-
dale) the Attorney-General should express his opinion as
to the probability of his client's claim being ultimately es-
tablished.

After some further convarsation, the case was adjourned
till Thursday next, when the Attorney-General is to gire
his opinion as suggested.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
HARRINGTON V. HOGGART.

This case came before the Court upon exceptions to the
Master's Report. The plaintiff having purchased a very
large estate, placed a deposit of 2,0001. in the hands of the
defendant, who was the auctioneer. The sale was subse,
quently set aside, and the plaintiff insisted on getting from
the defendant interest for that sum whilst it remained in
his custody, which was for a period of nearly three
years. In order to ascertain the manner in which
the money was applied during that period, he
filed a Bill of Discovery against the auctioneer. The
defendant, in his answer, stated that this particular sum
was placed in his banker's hands, and was so mixed up
with his balances, as to put it out of his power to give a
satisfactory reply to the several parts of the bill.
The case was argued at considerable length, and the
Vics-Csfanost.Loa said, that in order to come to the con-
sideration of the question well prepared, lie would take
home all the papers with him, and give his judgment in a
few days.

COURT OF CONDELEGATES.

WEIITNLEATH V. WESTMEA'VH.

In this suit the Marquis of Westmeath has appealed from
the judgment of the Arches Court, where Sir John Nicholl
decided that Lady Westmeath was entitled to her prayer
for a divorce, and condemned the Marquis in coats.
Her Ladyship's Proctor now prayed that before the suit
went to a bearing in the High Court of Delegates, the
Marquis should he compelled to pay the costs incurred in
the Courts below.

Dr. htlinsa resisted the application, on the ground that
the question of costs was a substantial part of the subject of
aprind.
Dr. Prtat.mone, at the same side, observed that Lady
Westmeath had paid the costs of the former suits, without
objection. She had a separate maintenance, and was in
better circumstances than the Marquis.
Dr. J. ADDAMS submitted that, according to the ordi-
nary rules of practice, the wife was entitled, in a case of
divorce, to have her costs paid by her husband.
The COURT admitted that the practice was as laid down
by Lady Westmeath's Counsel; `.,gut, if Lady Westmeath
neglected to apply for costs during the progress of those
suits, she had waived her own right, and the Court of Con-
delegates could not interfere. If the application was for
costs to prosecute the suit of appeal in this Court, the
Court was bound to listen to it.
Dr. Annests said that the Marchioness had paid her
own costs in the other suits, with the desire that the hear-
ing might not be procrastinated, but she declined doing so
in the present suit.
The COURT considered that it had no discretion to order
the payment of costs incurred another Court.

Lady Uestmeath's Proctor then applied that the costs
incurred by her Ladyship since the appeal to the High
Court of Delegates should be paid before the suit proceeded.
The Marquis of Weetmeath's Proctor prayed for time to
be heard in objection to that application.
The COURT granted a reasonable time.

which Dr. Lee referred had already been settled by the
