VINANCES OF AUSTRIA.

Jtme 4.—The four Imperial Pateuta
regard to the Vinances have now made their

appearance.
The first, which ordains that nn t►ew paper
motley having a forced circulation shall be issued,
and sets forth the mode in which the old p►►per
money shall be extinguished, has the following
introduction

't The severe shocks which, for the last twenty-
five years, assailed Europe, have compelled us,
since the very commencement of our reign, to
taktlipart in uninterrupted desolating wars, which
eodangered the safety and independence of the
esr►pire---ohjects of inestimable value both to so-
vereigns and their people. Accordingly, for the
maintenance of ours, we neither could nor might

spare any efforts whatever.
" The development of the whole force of the
state, however, occasioned expellees which far
•exceedell the meanS,of the payers df taxes. We
. invoked the confidence of our people.
,Paper,
having the value•of gold, enabled us to meet the
pressing wants of the state, and to maintain the
dangerous conflict, of which the renowned termi-
nation has replaced the monarchy in possession of
•those provinces that were torn from it, and has
anew confirmed their security and independence.
Our first care has been to restore our disordered
finances ; and ever since the last ncgociations for
peace, we hale been engaged in preparing the
necessary means for attaining that end.
" .The result has corresponded to our efforts ;
and we experience particular satiSfuetion on Seeing
ourselves placed in a situation to be able to lake
measures which shall conduct us to this.. object,
without encroaching upon the rights and lawful,
claims of our faithful subjects.
" The measures which we have adopted are
founded on the free co-operation of our good
people ; and we depend on their confidence, which
will of itself- attach to arrangements published by
us, and which will be emnpletely justified by their
result."

After this introduction follow the enactments,
of which the chief are as follow
" la future no paper-money, having a forced
value and circulation, shall be created ; nor shall
any increase take place of the amount of what is
already in circulation. Should extraordinary cir-
Ctimitances denims(' expellees beyond the ordinary
resources of the State, the Administration of the
finance department shall take measures for cover-,
ing the expences by new resources and extraor-
dinary means, without in any case introducing a
paper-money having a forced circulation.
" The existing paper-money shall. Ist, be ca-
pable of being exchanged to the extent of two-
sevenths for tarok notes of the new bank to be
erected, whit bank-notes Shall at all times he
exchangeable for convention money, to their full
amount ; and to the extent of five-teveaths for
assignments on the state debts, bearing an annual
interest of one per cent. in convention money:
or, 2diy, the said papermoney.may be employed
for the purpote of being placed as capital in, the
new bank ; with this understanding, that far each
share (the capital to consist of 50,000 shares)
ahall'be advanced 2,000 florins in paper, and 200
florins in specie convention money." The Adm.
toge of the holders of the paper-money consists in
the second alternative ; Ist, in the enjoyment of
the advantages which the bank holds out 5 and,
2dly, in the enjoyment of 211 per cent. interest
in convention money, which shall be paid on ob-
ligations which shall be issued by the bank for
that purpose."
The seennd patent relates to the erection of the
above-mentioned national bank, and contains in.
substance the following enact meats
" The Bank.; to which shall he given the name
of the Privileged dustrian National lianC
commence its operations us soon as the'number of
shares thereto necessary shall .be taken : until

that period it shall, commencing with the first of
July next, be brought intd operation, as a Bank
for the exchange of notes for shares, and shall
be conducted by a Provisional Directory: For
this purpose there shill be selected from among the
Deputation for the extinction of the paper money,
and from the principal merchants, &c. eight Pro-
visional Directors of the Bank, whose business it
shall be to make every preparation for its corn-
!Age establishment. This Provbional Meetory
shall correspond immediately with the Ministee
of Finance, and shall, in en far as relates to tti'e
extinction of notes, direct the bank, until a thou-
sand shares have been taken, the amount of each
nr which must be 200011. in paper money, and
0011 in convention money.
" As soon as the number of shares is complete,
the Bank shall become the property of the share-
holders, and the operations for which it is des-
tined, as a specially privileged establishment, shall
commence. The said share-holders shalt appoint,
ota of their number. a Committee of 50 Members,
which, together with the Provisional Directors of
the Bank, and Commissaries to be appointed by
us, shall elect i d Members, who, with the said
Commissaries, shall thaw up a complete system
of regulations for the Bank, to be submitted to
Our ssinction.

The 1340 k shall be authorized to estitblisli,
wherever it may be serviceable, throughout the
,trhgie extent of the Monarchy, branch Ranks;
and no one besides these privileged Batiks shall be
allowed to keep any Bank of Exchange.
gf Ihr batik Atilt{! Isaac notes to the bearer of 5,
10) 40, 100, 500, add 1,000 lioritt3, which shall

be paid o presvntation in eon ventiun money ; the
said bank-notes being, however, declared to be a
mode of payment rem:lignite(' and favoured by law.
However in transactions between individuals, no
one Shull be compelled to receile. them ; but, on
the other hand, they may be used in the payment
of taxes and other payments to the State they
being to be accepted as ready money by all re-
ceivers of taxes.

"The paper money which is brought in for
shares in the bank shall in no case he again issued ;
but shall from time in time be horned in presence
of a deputation of the Shareholders, and of Com-
missioners appointed by ux ; the bank 'receiving
from the adillilliStlatifin of the finances obligations
payiitg an interest of 2- per cent., which interest
shall be divided as a premium among the shire-
holders.

" The specie which Shall be paid for the shares
shall constitute the funds of a future hank of ex-
change:, by means of which Wits of exchange
and other commercial effects upon solid houses of
businesc, as also bank-hilts, •shall be discounted.
The bank, however, stroll not lend upon mortgage
.until their operations fur the extinction of the
paper money and for exchange shall be in . furl
activity. and unless they possess sufficient ready
money for built these pnrposei.
• " The bank shall consist of 50,000 shares, each
of the beforementionea amount, and shall conti-
nue to receive subscriptions until the number shall
be complete, and sltall alone have the right to .pre-
pare and issue bank-notes, fur the payment of
whicb are responsible, besides the ready money to
be found in the batilw, all the mines of the too-
narcby," •&c.
The third patent is a sort of corollary from-the
two preceding, and contains, as one'ot the means
of restoring. order in the money circulation, the
separation and indication of certain revennes of
the state,. which are to be paid exclusively in
banknotes, or, for sutaller stints, in what is called
convention money. These revenues are the im-
port and export duties in' all his Majesty's here-
-ditary stales, the duties on law proceedings paid
to the treasury, besides all the political and do—
main dues throughout the monarchy, the
sliop-
tax introduced into the German provinces, the
personal tax borne by his Majesty's Gcriliail AO).
jects, and the imposts' levied can Jews.
The 4th patent relates to the maintenance of
the value of the small copper money in eireida-
don, which is to be received in psyments as con-
vention money.

INcetanrsnlas,—Last Sunday afternoon the
village of Bere in Dorsetshire, and the neighbour-.
ing country, were thrown lino a state of great
alarm, by several files breaking out in the village

the suspicion was, that it was intended to burn
down the whole village. The tientlemen of the
dist tic' took the alarm, -and were on the .alert , not
only to extinguish the fires„ but to discover the

ing to extinguish the fires, in which he was ma-
terially assisted by a man of the name of PUTT
who, from his laughage and conduct, Bishop sus-
pected was concerned iii the crime,: his suspicions
proved coif-yet, for, upon an investigation as %to
the con-num:mem of the fires, Porches was taken
into custody, and being examined before a Ma-
gistrate, the evidence Was .sufficient to commit
him to Dorchester prison on a charge of wilfully
setting fire to the .wheat-stack. A man of the

fire to belonged to a cietitlernan of the name Of

LAW INMLLIGENCL.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 28.
The Court was occupied the whole day in t pe•
cial arguments.

DUNN V. O'KEP.Fit.

This was a writ of error trom the Court of
Common Pleas, to reverse the indgmeut ot that
Court, in a case tebere the 'Simple gnestion was,
whether the holder ot a bill of exchange, who has
presented it for lieelthillee, anti omitted to giVe
notice of the refusal to accept, to the drawer, can
by indorsement afterwards, to another persint,
make the (!rawer liable to that other person ; or,
in other words, whether the neglect to give to
the drawer, by the holder of a or refusal to
accept by the drawer, does not discharge the
drawet from his liability ? The: Common Pleas
decided, that this eiremostance did not remove
the drawer's liability.

ME. GIYFORD WaS heard,at great,lenoh in sup-
port of the %vrit of error, and cited 5 Hum f 2670.
1. 'l'. 11. 712. and 12 East. 434. in illustration of
his arguitient.
Mr. TINDAL, on the other side, was stopped by
the Couar, who, utter an elabOrate consitkration
of the whole ease, tinanimouily affirmed the judg-
ment of the Common Pleas.

COUP.T OF COMMON FLEAS, JUNE 29.

HARDY V. GLASSINMON.

Mr. Serjeant BEST this day shewed cause against
a rue obtained by Mr. Serjeant Copley, why
judgnient should not be arrested in this ease, which
was all action against the defendant as Proprietor
and Printer of the Morning Herald Newspaper, to
Treover dama„ges for injury sustgined by the pub-
lication at a malicious libel concerning the Jac!),
of the plaintiff, sir Thomas Hardy, and the i‘lar-
yds of Abercorn. The, motion tar an arrest of
judguient was founded on various deficts in the
pleadings, which, it had been contended: m-1111 be
fatal to the iecartl.

nr. litoer anserered these objections,
and submitted that the libellous matter sufficiently
appeared 'on the fate of :the record Wirhout any
inuendo ;
.the only role with respect to which
was, thai it etudd not be employed-to extend the
nivaning tit- the words charged to he libellous. To
decide ib;it all.parts of a publication must
be equally libellous, in-order to make out a ground
of action, or that ail the path might not be :,et
forth in the record as referring to and 'explaining
eac! other, ‘eould be'to grant a sweeping licence
to the'coaithtetors of periodical publications, be-
cause then they n (Mid only have to divide the
libel, to Mate its substance one day, and the par-
tics ag,4ilibt whom it wits directed on the next, in
order to enjoy perfect impunity.
The CHIEF JUsTice expressed his concurrence
in this, because, otherwise, it might be published
on one occasion, that tt particular crime was
committed by -a person who had lost a joint of
Ili, little finger, and on 11 following day observed
that there was but one person in the country who
had lost a joint of his little finger.
Mr. Serjeant BEST then cited several cases to
prove the sufficiency of the pleadings in this case,
and submitted that on these grounds he was en-
titled to the judgment of the Court. .
Mr. Set eant COPLEY, on the .othee" she, in
support of the motion in arrest of judgment, eon.'
cwied that it woe a vicar principle of Lew, that
where words are spoken or written at different
times, soma of which are actionable and others
not, and a verdict is taker' as for entire damages,
the jUdgurent cannot be sustained. In addition
to other objections, be urged. that there WaS no
averment to them that Sir Thomas and
I tardy Were mtiurt, slid arried a
or ath thee ao Lady

Mr. Serjeant BEST replied, and the ,Court took
time fur consideration.

INSOLVENT Dt:I3TORT cnUltr.

LECTION V. SAVILLE.

The defendant was brought up, after haring
been previously remanded, to it»ert some dupli-
cates which she had omitted in het schedule. The
defendant ,at that time opposed her, and being
questioned as to her fnrniture, site said that she
bad never had-eny. Being asked whether she lied
not lied some sheets and some table-him) ? she
said they were her sitter's, who-, it-appeared., was,
like herself, a person of 110 properly, but living
entirely upon her means. Fier face was on her
fortune. Being asked whether she had not the
thief) mailed with her 'own name / she said she
could not tell. whose name it was marked with.
There being no evidence to Contradict her, Mr.
Sojeant ihntiNINGTQN would have 'discharged
her ; hut' it appeared that she was possessed of
some duplicates, which she had not inserted in
her schedule, and time was give* to amend the
schedule. Upon her being btought up for that
purpose, • •
Mr. PIUNCZ- SNtTII stated to the Court, that
lie was now prepared to spew, that on her former
examination, she had sworn that the sheets were
hex sister's ; that he had Since procured evidence
by which he would prOve where she bought the
linen in August last ; he would also produce the
person who marked it with her name, Ann Saville,
sod illao the lanndreSs who washed it in October.
He therefore submitted that the Court, for its
own dignity, and for the sake of jiistice, would
not permit her to be discharged, and to take the
oath.

Sergeant RONNINGTON sfiid, ti,at lite case
having been beaud before, and the detem; cut re-
manded for a special purpose, be could not now
inquire further into it. If the plaintiff chose here-
after, an application might he made to the court
to vacate the discharge, if it was obtained by
fraud ; but he was satisfied that the duplicates
tvere not omitted fraudulently. The prisoner
must now be discharged. The plaintiff might in.
diet her also for pedory.
Mr. SMITH said, he proposed it, only to pie.
setve the consistency and dignity of the (iota;
which he thought was insulted by a person cum.
mitring what, if his evidence proved correct, was
a palpable perjury. He suggested that if this
would avoid the. discharge, it would be better to
to take the evident* now, and prevent the di's.
charge. He should now reconmend his dives
to promos the defendant; •ns if they did Lut,

tbeywould be wanting in respect for justite

I for the Court.
The defendant' being a cery pretty wotrtatt,
i surrounded by others of the most fascinating of
1- the fair sex, there was n general plaudit upou the I .
decision ul the Learne►t Serje,►nt.
A Mr. Pigeon got up and addressed the. Court,

cl►,iming weetion for himself an►i Airs. Leetiotta:
who he said had been insulted in the Court.
Mr. Serjeat►t ituNNINGTON sail he would cow
mit any one who disturbed the Court br insulted
the_parties.
