According to accounts from Berlin, his Royal Highness
Prince George of Cumberland is entirely recovered from
his late indisposition. The Assembly of the States has of
late been chiefly engaged in discussing a plan for the re-
duction of the interest on the public debt. By what we
can barn, both Chambers are agreed in approving the pro.•
ject in general as beneficial to the Treasury, but they are
not so well agreed upon the principles upon which it is to
be carried into effect.

the Senate wanting to this Decree. The lower

business in the City wears a most uninteresting ap-

to enter into any fresh speculations. Consols opened
at Hi 87 for Account, and 86-i for Money; but
in consequence 'of the French Funds coming over
higher they have improved to 87 for the former
period, which is the only variation that has taken
place. India Bonds are 47 9, arid Exchequer Bills

A gang of pickpockets assembled yesterday
evening in front of the entrance to the House of Lords, and
shouted "No Popery" as the Peers were retiring. Several
gentlemen felt the effects of accidental contact with these
light-fingered gentry as they passed through the avenues,
which were occupied for nearly an hour by these miscreants.

The receiving of petitions against and for the
Catholic Claims occupied the blouse of Commons last
night from near five till after eleven o'clock! Mr. Peel
announced, in reply to questions, that he should bring in
both Bills to-night, if possible ; but whenever he brought
in one Bill—that for removing disabilities—he should ac-
company it with the measure for regulating the elective
franchise in Ireland. One Bill was ready, but the copying
of the other was not yet completed ; however, when intro-
duced, he should propose that there be a week's interim be-
tween the first and second reading,

LAW INTELLTGENCE.--(THIS DAY.)

VICE-CIIANCELLOR'S COURT.
miltscriow—REV. J. PAUL PORTER, ♦ND OTNtRS, V.

THY REV, OWEN CLARKE.

This was a bill filed by the plaintiffs for an injunction
to restrain the defendant, the Rev. Owen Clarke, from
preaching in the pulpit of a Dissenting Chapel at Bath.
The following are the short facts .1 the case :—ln the
year 1'770 a certain plot of ground situ .ted at Bath was
devised to twelve trustees, for the purpose of building a
chapel, in which the worship of Almighty God was to he
performed according to the forms and tenets of a sect
called " Particular Baptists," and the doctrines of Pre-
destination, Election, and the final perseverance of Saints
inculcated. in the year 1790, Mr. Porter, the present
plaintiff, was appointed minister of this chapel, and on the
Sd August, 1791, was regularly ordained, and up to the
summer of last year performed the duties thereof with
satisfaction to his congregation; but about that time the
defendant, Mr. Owen Clarke, who was then settled over a
dissenting congregation at Taunton, visited Bath, and was
invited to preach in Mr. Porter's pulpit. Shortly after this
a number of the congregation wished to give Mr. Clarke an
invitation to become their pastor, others objected to it, and
a. strong schism arose. It was, however, finally decided
that Mr. Clarke should be appointed co-pastor with Mr.
Porter, and he accordingly commenced his duties as such.
Peace, however, could not be thus obtained ; one party
caned a church-meeting, at which they resolved that all
those who joined themselves with Clarke's faction, should
be declared no longer members of the church. Shortly
after this another church-meeting was held, at which a
resolution was passed, that the Rev. John Paul Porter was
no longer their Minister, but that the Rev. Owen Clarke was
sole pastor, and the party passing the resolution determined to
carry it into execution, for the lock was taken off the Cha-
pel door, and a new one substituted; and on the following
Sunday the 11ev. Mr. Clarke, long before the usual time of
commencing divine service, took possession of the pulpit,
and two constables were placed on the pulpit-stairs. At
the usual time, Mr. Porter, accompanied by his friends,
entered the Chapel, and on his approaching the pulpit, the
constables were ordered not to let him go up the stairs, as
there was already one person occupying it. The consequence
was, that Mr. Clarke kept possession on that day, and has
continued so to do, after the several church meetings were
held, and it was wished to !rake a pacific arrangement
with Mr. Porter. It was the wish of the majority of
the members that he should give up his office as Minister,
and in consideration thereof, to be allowed 150/. per year.
A message to this effect was sent to him, but he replied,
" No, not if you give me 10,0001. will I accede to any
such terms." So matters remained until he filed a bill in
this Court to restrain Mr. Clarke. from occupying the
pulpit.. The pleadings were exceedingly long, and several
Counsel engaged en each side.
Mr. Suunxx, in support of the injunction, addressed
the Court for nearly three hours. He contended that, ac.
cording to the established rules by which Dissenting places
of worship were governed, no minister could he discharged
from his pastoral office unless he departed from the reli-
gious principles which he professed at the time of ordina-
tion, or was guilty of some act of immorality—neither of
which were attempted to be alleged against Mr. Porter.

Mr. BICKERSTETH was about to address the Court
against the application, when he was interrupted by the
Vicc-Chancellor, who said he did not think the Court had
any jurisdiction in the case; he should therefore refuse
the motion, but without costs.—Motion refused.
