LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 12, 1827.

We know not whether the ATTORNEY-

GENERAL will consider himself bound to insti-
tute proceedings against Lord KENYON for a
misdemeanour, in having published the letters of
the late KING, addressed to his Lordship's father
in his capacity of a Privy Councillor ; but we have

no hesitation in saying, that it appears to us a
gross breach of privilege in any Peer of this
realm to ransack the repositories of a Privy
Councillor, whose heir he may happen to be,
and divulge to the world those confidential coin-

munications which the solemnity of an oath had
in vain endeavoured to guard from such a fate.

But thr considerations seem to have little weight
with Lord KENYON. who, to answer his own
private views and those of his Orange friends
on
.the subject of Catholic Emancipation, has
presumed to violate the archives of his Noble
relative, and to publish those letters of the
late KING'S, which will be found in another
part of our Paper. To their publication we,
as warm friends to the Catholic Question, can
have no possible objection, and they are, no
doubt, very interesting, as displaying the con-,
scientious anxiety of a great Monarch to dis-
charge the duties of his high station. But
no fresh discoveries can possibly increase our
affection and esteem for the memory of King
GEORGE the THIRD, who will always figure

in the history of the world, as the most amiable
and most virtuous of Princes—though at the
same time it would be the part of slaves, and not
of subjects, to surrender, or rather pretend to
surrender, our honest opinion to that of any
created being. Our idea, therefore, of the utter
fallacy of the construction put on the Corona-
tion Oath, must continue unaltered, and indeed
we had hoped that the surrender of that point
by Lord LIVERPOOL had been almost univer-
sally adopted by the admirers of that most esti-
mable Nobleman.

But we want words to express our satisfaction

at the blow given by the present publication to
the Orange Clubs throughout the Kingdom,
falsely styling themselves the disciples of the
Right Hon. Wm. PITT. Will they have the
presumption, after this, to identify themselves
with that illustrious Statesman, whose Letters,
published (treacherously to his cause, we
would almost say), by the Orange Doctor
PIuLPOT rs, prove beyond the power
of contradiction what were the sentiments
of his mind on the Catholic Question. All the
world knew before that Mr. PITT left office,
because the Catholic Claims were not granted,
and it was insulting to common sense and to
every right feeling, to hear the Orangemen utter
their pitiful quibbles on the subject, and endea-
vour to explain away what was always as clear as
the noon day. Mr. PITT, they said, looked to
securities (by which they always mean abjuring
Popery) ; but what is the fact ? In his letter to
the KING, of the 31st January, 1801, he says—

" That the admission of the Catholics and Dissenters to
offices, and of the Catholics to Parliament (from which
latter the Dissenters are now excluded), would, under cer-
tain conditions to be erecified, lie highly advisable, with a
view to the tranquillity and improvement of Ireland, and
to the general interest of the United Kingdom.

" For himself, he is, on full consideration, con
vinced that the measure would be attended with no
danger to the Established Church, or to the Protes-
tant interest in Great Britain or Ireland :—that now
the Union has taken place, and with the new pro-
visions which would make part of the plan; it could never
give any such weight in office, or in Parliament, either to
Catholics or Dissenters, as could give them any new means
(if they were so disposed) of attacking the Establishment :
that the grounds on which the laws of exclusion now re-
maining were founded, have long been narrowed, and are
since the Union removed ;—that those principles, for-
merly held by the Catholics, which made them be consi-
dered as politically dangerous, have been for a course
of time gradually declining, and, among the higher or-
ders particularly, they have ceased to prevail :—.that the
obnoxious tenets are disclaimed in the most positive man-
ner by the oaths which have been required in Great Bri-
tain, and still more by one of those required in Ireland, as
the condition of the indulgences already granted, and which
might equally be made the condition of any new ones :
that if such an Oath, containing (among other provisions)
a denial of the power of Absolution from its obligations,
is not a security from Catholics, the sacramental test is
not snore so : That the political circumstances under
winch the exclusive laws originated, arising either
from the conflicting power of hostile and nearly
balanced sects, from the apprehension of a Popish
Queen or Successor, a disputed succession and a foreign
Pretender, and a division in Europe between Catholic
and Protestant Powers, are no longer applicable to the
present state of things. That with respect to those of
the Di.7:enters, who, it is feared, entertain principles
dangerous to the Constitution, a distinct political test,
pointed against the doctrine of modern Jacobinism, would
be a much more just and more effectual security, than that
which now exists, which may operate to the exclusion
of conscientious persons well affected to the State, and
is no guard against those of an opposite description :
That with respect to the Catholics of Ireland another most
important additional security, and one of which the effect
would continually increase, might be provided, by gradually
attaching the Popish Clergy to the Government, and, for this
purpose, making them dependant for a part of their provi-
sion (under proper regulations) on the State, and by also
subjecting them to superintendance and controul :--That,
besides these provisions, the general interests of the Estab-
lished Church, and the security of the Constitution and Go-
vernment, might be effectually strengthened by requiring
the Political Test before referred to, from the Preachers of
all Catholic or Dissenting Congregations, and from the
Teachers of Schools of every denomination.
" It is on these principles Mr. Pitt humbly conceives
a new security might be obtained for the Civil and Eccle-
siastical Constitution of this country, more applicable to
the present circumstances, more free from objection, and
snore effectual in itself, than any which now exists ; and
which would, at the same time, admit of extending such
indulgences, as must conciliate the higher orders of the
Catholics, and by furnishing to a large class of your Ma-
jesty's Irish subjects a proof of the good-will of the
United Parliament, afford the best chance of giving full
effect to the great object of the Union—that of tranquil-
lizing Ireland, and attaching it to this country."
Does this resemble their ideas of securities, or
arc they not the exact sentiments of the Eman-
cipationists of the present day, whom these
Orangemen denounce as radicals and dangerous
men. But we trust we shall never again hear of
Mr. PITT'S being an enemy of the Catholic
Claims. Let Orangemen retain their conscientious

scruples if they will, but do not let them shelter
themselves under the authority of that Illustrious
Statesman whose opinions were diametrically op-
posite to their own, and that not on any minorpoint,
but upon the great Question which divides the
political parties of the Empire. The Earl of
ELDON may now have his mind enlightened
respecting Mr. PITT'S ideas of Securities, which
the Noble Earl pathetically complained at the late
dinner of the Pitt Club, he had never been able
accurately to comprehend. But none are
so dull as those who will not understand, and

it is not impossible that his Lordship and
others of the craft will still continue to at-
tend dinners of the Pitt Club ; and though
the withholders of the civil rights of one-
third of their countrymen, and the staunch
supporters of abuse, persist in claiming
as their Tutelary Saint, that distinguished
individual, the first impulse of whose generous
wind led him even to advocate Reform in Par-
liament, till convinced of its being an unat-
tainable blessing, and who 'continued, to the last
moment of his existence, the sincere, firm,
and eloquent friend of Catholic Emancipation.

The Paris Papers of Saturday, and the Etoile.
dated Sunday morning, reached ,-s last night,
but they contain no political intelligence, except
an article from the Augsburgh Gazette relative
tc, he state of the negotiations with the Porte.
The conduct of the REIS EFFENDI seems to
encourage but few hopes that the Turkish Go-
vernment will be induced to consent to any mea-
sure which has for its object the independence of
Greece,' though the last communication, made
to Mr. STRATFORD CANNING by the REIS
EFFENDI, is said to have been of a milder cha-
racter. A very few days must decide the ques-
tion whether the DIVAN will consent to submit
to the declared wish of all the principal powers
of Europe, or by a blind infatuation risk the
overthrow of the Empire by the united vengeance
of all Christendom. We have long been con-
vinced, and expressed our conviction, that if once
the sword is really unsheathed against the Turks,
the Ottoman Empire in Europe will be annihi-
lated for ever.

Extracts will be found in another column, and
we subjoin Saturday's price of the Funds.

Mr. HuME abandoned last night the opposi-
tion which he had intended to make to the vote
of credit for 500,0001. on account of the expenses
of the Army in Portugal. The propriety of
arming the Executive with a power to maintain
our Forces in Portugal, or to increase their num-
ber in case of any absolute necessity for such a
measure, is so obvious that we are not surprised
the Hon. Member should feel it useless to resist
the sense of the House, as well as the common
sense of this question. The sum will not be
expended because it is voted, unless such a ne-
cessity should arise as would oblige Ministers
to increase the expences of the expedition, and
in that case they will be responsible to Parlia-
ment for incurring the responsibility of extra ex-
penditure.
While, however, Parliament places at the dis-
posal of Government this additional sum, the
Government are anxiously waiting to avail them-
selves of every opportunity which may present
itself, for the curtailment of expense in all the
departments. The work of retrenchment is not
to be postponed till the Finance Committee
commences its labours, for Mr. CANNING dis-
tinctly stated last night, that, as soon as the Go-
vernment bad it. in their power to turn their
minds to the subject, every possible reduction
should be made.

Thus it is, that the Government will retain,
as it well deserves, the confidence of the. country.
If the state of public affairs is such as to authorize
the Ministers to reduce expellee, they will apply
themselves seriously to that object, while, on the
other hand, if events should require further exer-
tions on our part, they will be prepared to act
with energy and decision, on their own respon-
sibility. .

We received this morning German Papers to
the 6th inst., but their contents refer to the ope-
rations before Athens, and the capture of the
Monastery of St. Spiridion—all which we pub-
lished yesterday.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.

The Loan CHANCELLOR sat to day in Lincoln's-inn
Hall.
EXPARTE LEIGH IN THE MATTER OF CLAWTON, A

BANKRUPT.

Mr. Suc-aEN moved that this matter might be ordered
to stand in the paper for Saturday. It was of great im-
portance that the matter should be heard without delay,
from this circumstance, that property to the amount of
120,0001. ws depending, that a sale of property to that
amount had actually been made under the Commission, with
the sanction of the bankrupt, who had since disputed the
validity of the Commission, and circulated placards, giving
notice to the public not to purchase.
Mr. MONTAGU was on-the same side. The bankrupt
Lad stated that he had commenced an action to try the
validity of his Commission, which he certainly had done,
but had proceeded no further though he had had ample
time.

Mr. TRESLOVE opposed the application. He had heard
nothing from affidavit, but a mere statement at the bar,
which he entirely contradicted. He submitted the Court
could take no notice of such a statement, and that if it
were to advance the hearing of the matter, the gentlemen
applying for the advancement were bound to show a case
for it upon affidavit.
His LORDSHIP--It is not suggested, Mr. Treslove, that
you are not prepared.
Mr. Taxsr.ovE—No, any Lord, but-
-1119 LORDSHIP-Then we will hear it on Saturday.

Mr. TREsLovE--But, my Lord—
His Loaosutr--We will hear it on Saturday—we can'
hear it twice.

IN THE AIATTER OF BURGESS, A BANKRUPT.

Mr. SUGMEN stated, that he had another application of a
similar kind. An attorney, who bad been touched with
the tender passion, wished to get hold of a lady for his wife
who had some fortune. She was the sister of Mr. Bur-
gess. Mr. Burgess did not approve of the proposal, and
therefore forbade further advances. This so mortified the
suitor, that he became a suitor of another kind, by suing
out a commission against. Mr. Burgess. Mr. B. now pro-
posed to give security for the payment of every farthing
that might be found, due to the attorney from him, swore
that he was perfectly solvent, and prayed to haie his ap-
plication to supersede the commission heard on Saturday.
Application granted.
HABEAS CORPUS.

IN THE MATTER. OF WILLIAM ATKINSON, A BANKRUPT.

Mr. ROSE said, he had obtained, on the last day of sit-
ting, a writ of Habeas Corpus, to bring up the body of
the bankrupt, returnable on this day; that Atkinson was
now in Court ; therefore, he moved that the return should
be read. He did not wish to occupy time in having it
read over, but be considered he should have no difficulty in
showing, upon one point, that the committal could not
stand. • _ _

Mr. Tvvlss was on the other side, and he did not press
to have the return read.

Mr. ROSE then admitted it to be read pro
,forma. The
point on which he submitted the commitment could not be
supported was, that the Commissioners, in their examina-
tion, had proceeded throughout upon a written document,
as the foundation of their examination, which had been
written by the bankrupt, purporting to contain a full dis-
closure of all his affairs, and which document had neither
been incorporated in, nor appended to the commitment.
Mr. Twiss contended that the examination was through-
out most prevaricating and unsatisfactory ; that many of
the questions and answers were totally unconnected with
the document that had been referred to, and that if even
they were not, the document was now in Court, to which,
under the Act of Parliament, his Lordship could refer if
necessary ; but he submitted that that was neither neces-
sary, nor was the bankrupt entitled to claim the advantage
of the formal defect, if defect there was.
His Lounsmr said, that many of the passages in the
examination, which had been read by Mr. Twiss, had no
reference whatever to the document, the absence of which
had been complained of, and the answers of the bankrupt
in those passages were most unsatisfactory to his (his Lord-
ship's) mind, as well as they had been to the minds of the
Commissioners, therefore he felt bound to send back the
bankrupt to prison iu Yorkshire, until he was prepared to
give more satisfactory answers to the questions that had
been put to him.

THE LATE MR. FAUNTLEROY,

IN THE MATTER OF MARSH, STRACET AND CO. BANK

RUFUS.

' Mr. HostNx was instructed to apply for leave to have a
petition in this matter heard on Saturday sennight. The
petition was for further directions after an action directed
by this Court had been tried by law, respecting circum-
stances arising out
_of the misconduct of the late Henry
Fauntleroy.
His LORDSHIP said the rule that had been laid down
was, that no bankruptcy should be taken on Saturdays,
except what pressed very much for a decision.
Mr. HORNE knew this matter to be of great importance.
The disposal of questions respecting very large sums of
money between the Bank of England and the body of cre-
ditors under this bankruptcy depended upon it, as well as
the payment of dividends.
His Lorsnsnsr could not see that the largeness of the
amount could have any effect whatever in entitling the
ease to precedence. He wished Mr. Horne to consider
the matter a little snore, and if afterwards he would pledge
himself to the Court that when the matter came on it
would appear to be of a most pressing nature for decision,
it should he in the paper as required, but not otherwise.

DEACON V. DEACON.

The Court was again occupied in hearing this par
heard motion.

VIOE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
This was the second Sea .refure Trinity Term.
REED V. DINDE.

The bill filc.l in this case sought to compel the defen-
dant, Major Hindc, to bring into effect an agreement, by
which he engaged to convey to the plaintiff a moiety of a
certain real estate, as a security for a large sum of money
lent to him by the plaintiff on post obit bonds ; and the
bill prayed that a receiver might be in the mean time ap-
pointed to that portion of the estate; and that the defen-
dant be restrained, by the injunction of the Court, from
receiving the rents and profits, or from committing waste.
Mr. SUGOEN, in support of the application, said, that
the post obit bonds were payable after the death of the de-
fendant's eldest brother, a lunatic, and the defendant under-
took to levy a fine and suffer a recovery on his share of the
estate, for the purpose of securing to the plaintiff the sum
borrowed from him. The plaintiff was unable to proceed
at law for the enforcement of the agreement in consequence
of an outstanding term affecting the estate, and therefore
was obliged to have recourse to a Court of Equity.
Mr. TIDMARSH followed on the same side.

Mr. Uzi% Ln, for the defendant, said, that as the debt ori-
ginated in post obit bonds the plaintiff was entitled only
to the sum actually lent (30001.) with the interest
on it since the time of its being lent. The defendant was
ready to do this, and only required that the matter might
stand over until a petition of his, now before the Lord
Chancellor, praying to be allowed to take certain funds,
originally belonging to the lunatic, out of Court was heard.
This petition would, in all probability, come on to-morrow.
The Learned Gentleman said, that the very fact of there
being post-obit bonds in the transaction ought to be enough
to disentitle the plaintiff to any favour from the Court.
Mr. Cos followed on the same side.

The VICE-CHANCELLOR could not agree in the observa-
tion that post obit bonds were held in so unfavourable a
light by the Court, as that it should baffle the holder of
them when he applied for the enforcement of his rights.—
The Court was in the habit, when it saw that the security
was outrageously disproportionate to the sum ac-
tually advanced, of granting relief to the borrower,
by restraining the leuder from interfering with hie perion,

until the hearing of the cause ; but his Honour never knew
a Court of Equity to go further, and say that it would
also discharge the borrower's estate from all liability, merely
on his allegation-that the transaction originated in post
obit bonds, accompanied with an offer to pay the sum
actually advanced. At present the Court had nothing to
do with the favour or disfavour of such a class of transac-
tions, but was bound to take care that the estate should be
secured, and with this view, his Honour directed tho ap-
pointment of the Receiver.
Mr. SUGDIN—I hope your Honour will also grant the
injunction. The defendant has already cut down timber
on the estate, and damaged it to the extent of 4,000/.
The VICZ-CHANCELLOR also granted the injunction.
In the course of the morning Mr. Witaaanasi. informed
the Court, that there was a Lady now in Court, in custody,
under an attachment, for not paying a sum of money, in
oursuance of an order of the Court. The Learned Gentle-
man moved that she be committed to the Fleet prison. .

The prisoner, a very old lady of respectable appearance,
was then brought forward.
The Vicz-CHANCELLOR—Pray, why don't you pay this
money ?
The Prisoner—l shall have nothing to support me if
I pay it.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR—I have no discretion—you
must either pay it or go to prison. Let me advise you to
pay it.
Prisoner—l can't—it is ix my attorney's hands. What
then am Ito do?
The VICE-CHANCELLOR, after expressing his regret
that a lady of her age and appearance should be sent to a
prison, directed her to be removed.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
COE V. HAILES AND ALCOBIB.
This was an action of Trespass, brought by the plaintiff
to recover damages from the defendants for arresting his
person, illegally imprisoning him, and keeping him in
custody for five days.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and• Mr. F. POLLOCK con-
ducted the prosecution, and Mr. COMMON SERGEANT,
Mr. CAMPBELL, and Mr. FITZROY KELLY, appeared for
the defendant Hailes, and Mr. GURNEY for the other
defendant.
The Jury acquitted the prisoner Newcomb, and found
against Hailes, with 100/. damages.
