AMERICAN PAPERS.
(From the New Yorh Argus.)
Washington Irving has been appointed by Presi-
dent Jackson Secretary of the Legation to England.
Such a choice is certainly honourable to the discre-
_ _

tion of the appointing power, and will, no doubt,
prove as advantageous to the country at large, as
nuy less illustrious selection. We say this, because
Rome have affected to start at the news, as if it took
them by surprise ; and appear to mistrust that a
cloilet man, a professed writer, and a book-worm,
',yin fill well a diplomatic station. True it is that
Irving has always slily kept his distance from stump-
polemics, and openly held horror the mobocracy
but, nevertheless, he has energy and diligence,—
this let his Life of Columbus prove,—and know-
ledge of mankind, which may be gathered from all
his satirical writings. The choice is also compli-
mentary to the British Cabinet; and, independently
of all this, the post is one in which the occupant
tills a subordinate place, and therefore has not a try-
ing responsibility. The appointment, also, smacks of
the sense of those good old times, when such men
as Chaucer were sent abroad on embassies, as a sam-

plc of the land.
The ship Peruvian, Holbrook, arrived at Balti-
more on Saturday morning from Valparaiso, whence
she sailed on the 6th of April. Verbal intelligence
states, the wheat of Chili was expected to be rather
short. Flour at Valparaiso wAs It dollars per
barrel on board ; the last sales of the balk Peru's
cargo was made at 10 dollars.
Letters from Lima (says the American) mention,
that the late prohibitory decree of the Peruvian Go-
vernment had been carried into effect, and the ship
Eliza of Baltimore, which had touched there, had,
in consequence, been prevented from landing her
prohibitory articles.
The United States frigate Brandywine, and the
United States schooner, Do/phi/4 were at Valparai-o
on the sth of April, all well ; and the United States'
ship Vincennes, at Callao, 28th of February, all well.
From Bolivia we learn (says the Gazette), that
General Santa Cruz had arrived in that country,
had been elected President, and had in some
measure succeeded in calming the political agitation
t here. A Colonel Armaza had been elected Vice-
President. By a proclamation of this Armaza, who
appears to have been at the head of the troops, who
effected the late revolution, we perceive it stated,
_ .

_ .
that General Blanco was shot in the confusion of
the actual revolt, and not put to death in a more
barbarous manner, as stated in the following para-
graph. It is certainly possible that his death might
have been an accident ; and then, again, it is equally
possible that it might not.
" A revolution has been recently effected in

Bolivia, and the President and Vice-President been
arrested, and the former, General Blanco, shot,—
probably with about as much justice and much the
same forms as those used for the assassination of
Don Manuel Dorrego, in Buenos-Ayres."
(From the Journal of Commerce.)
" LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM lIAVANNAL

" The brig Panther, Captain Wise, arrived yes
terday in ten days from Ilavannah. We learn from
the passengers that an expedition was fitting out at
that place, consisting of two 74's, three frigates,
and several brigs and schooners ; two schooners
were also fitting out at Matanzas. The American
ship Bingham, of Philadelphia, and brig Chillion,
had been chartered for conveying troops, and the
captains of other vessels were making proposals
to the same effect. It was said, and generally
believed, that the expedition was directed against
Mexico; and that the landing would be made at
Catnpeachy, with 5,000 men ; the inhabitants of
that place being considered friendly to the Spanish
Government. The troops would then intrench
themselves, and await the 20,000 men who were
shortly expected from Old Spain. Thus it appears
that the pro]ected invasion of Mexico, which has
been rumoured for many months,, is likely to be
seriously undertaken.
We also learn that the order- imposing an extra
duty of five dollars per barrel on American flour,
although put in force, on the Ist inst., was not issued
until the 3d. Several American cargoes were sold
between those dates, which the agents' owners ex-
pected would escape the extra duty ; but they found
themselves disappointed, and in consequence were
subject W serious losses.
Three days before the _Panther left, the United
States' ship Hornet.sailed on a cruise; all well.

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, JULY IS, 1829.

The French Papers contain no news from the
Theatre of War. The illoniteur contradicts
the statement which appeared a few days ago
about the capture of a French schooner by the
squadron of Don ikirouEL off Terceira. The
Qiwtidienue has discovered a plot now forming
by the Freemasons, and Knight Templars, for
placing the son of NAPOLEON on the Throne of
Spain, that he may the more easily and con-
veniently reach that of France, and that the
Throne of his father is now preparing to receive
him at the Thuilleries!!

The Gazette of last night contains an Order
in Council, dated the 16th July, for suspending
to the 16th July, 1830, the ballot for, and en-

rolment of, the Local Militia. This is in ac-
cordance with the reduction introduced by Mr.
PEEL during the Session.
The Gazette also contains another Order in
Council for makiLg the Port of St. John's,
Newfoundland, a free port. This information
we had previously received from Newfoundland
a few days ago, where the concession was con-
sidered as a very gracious boon, not only to the
colony, but likely to be very beneficial to the
commercial and naval interests of the country.

Letters from Madrid, to the 4th July, state
that the Count D'OFALIA was about to set out
for Paris. The financial state of Spain seems
to get worse and worse; and the Ministers, M.
DE BALLAsTZRO3 and M. Btawos, are asserted

to be much embarrassed fur sufficient monies to
meet the exigencies of the State, The revenue
was extremely deficient, and the Government of
the " Beloved" evidently bankrupt.

spoken of.

We have Quebec Papers to the 20th ult. in-
clusive. The weather continued most promising
for vegetation, and the country wore a cheer-
ful appearance in both Upper and Lower Canada.
Sir J. KEMPT had left Quebec to proceed to
Montreal by land. Flour at Montreal was at
Si- dollars, but the market was flat. The crops
in Upper Canada were very promising, and if
the weather continued fine there was no doubt
of an abundant harvest.

American Papers have been received to the
25th June, extracts from which will be found in
another column. It appears, if we may credit
an article from Havannah, that the Spaniards are
resolved upon making a descent from that place
on Mexico. An expedition, consisting of two
seventy-fours, three frigates, and several smaller
vessels, was fitting out, for the purpose of land-
ing 5,000 men at Campeachy, the inhabitants of
which place were considered friendly to the
Spanish Government. This force was only pre-
liminary according to th.ounts, and was to se-
cure a firm footing till the arrival of 20,000 men
from Old Spain !—a force which FERDINAND
could hardly raise, and certainly could not sup-
port, far less pay, i❑ all his dominions. Really,
we think this eternal hoax of an invasion of
Mexico has now been carried far enough, and
we trust FERDINAND and his alarmists will in

future confine their speculations to invading the
territories of their worthy neighbour INItauEL,
nearer home. They would at least have this
recommendation, that they could practice upon
a more meritorious object, or one more likely
to appreciate. their good intentions.

We have a file of the Demerara Gazette
to the 7th June. Trade was very dull there,
and a large quantity of goods on hand. The
sales by public vendue were large, but only low
prices were obtained. Freights were accordingly
scarce, and the shipping there very numerous ;
and, notwithstanding low rates were asked, cargoes
could not be obtained.

The New York Mercantile Paper, of the 22(1
June, says " We have been favoured with the
following extract of a letter from the British
Discovery Ships Adventure and Beagle, near
Cape Horn We have had the past season
very severe weather, and the winter seems to be
harder than usual ; it has proved very unhealthy
to us ; we have lost three men, and had a number
on the sick list by scurvy, in consequence of
which our surveying goes on slowly:"

The Glasgow Courier, in commenting on the
late trial of J. STEUART and CATHERINE
WRIGHT, (a brief account of which will be
found in our columns of to-day,) before the
High Court of Justiciary M Edinburgh, for the
murder of a man on board a steam-boat by lau-
danum, has the following startling observations:—
" The criminal, STEUART, has, we hear, con-
fessed that he destroyed no fewer than nine in-
dividuals in this manner, in order that he might
become possessed of their property as he became
possessed of LAMONT'S property, and that he
learned this horrid trade in London ! This
hideous and wholesale system of murder is second
only to the BURKE system, and skews a fearful
demoralization amongst our population." We
hope for the honour of human nature that this
statement is unfounded. If, however, it be true
—and the recent atrocities of BURKE, prove
that there is nothing so dreadful, nothing so

depraved, nothing so truly and recklessly diabo_
licit], but the human mind is fully capable of it—
what an idea will it give to foreigners of the
much vaunted morality of England !

German Papers, received this morning, repre-
sent that the knowledge of the defeat of the
GRAND VIZIER considerably abated the mili-
tary ardour of the Turks in Belgrade and other

places
:
FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, JUNE 28.—Tae first know•
ledge of the defeat of the Gra.sd Vizier near Shumla reached
Belgrade through the German Papers. The news made a
great impression, and considerably abated the military ardour
of the Turks. At first many persons doubted the truth of
the affair entirely, or at least thought the Russian bulletin
to lie greatly ex iggerated, because the Grand Vizier had but
lately sent a circular letter to all the Pachas, in which he
informed him of a victory gained over the infidels on the
17th May. Nay, be had written a letter to his son, who was
in Thessaly, to inform him of his success, and encourage
him to emulate him. The Pacha of Belgrade himself,
however, seems to be fully sensible of the importance of the
defeat of the I I th June, and to entettain great apprehensions
for the issue of the present campaign. Ile is besides vet y
uneasy at the loss of Rachova, which General Geismar
keeps possession of, interrupting the navigation of the
Danube, and threatening the country on the right bank of
the river. It is thought at Belgrade that the Servian's
will take advantage of the vicinity of the Russian troops to
rise in insurrection against the Porte, and that Gen. Geis-
mar, in occupying Rachova, acted in concert with the chiefs
of that nation. Such a concert may, however, be reason.
ably doubted, as the Turkish authorities watch with the
greatest attention every step of Prince Mosel anti his
friends, and would call them to account on the slightest
suspicion. Meantime, the Paeha of Belgrade takes every
precaution to preserve tranquillity, and his communications
with Widdin and Travnik are very frequent. A few days
ago a large quantity of corn was sent from Belgrade to
Widdin.
VIENNA, JULY s.—The Russian Ambassador, M. de
Tatischeff, has returned to Vienna with his lady from
Warsaw, and a Russian Courier has passed through, on his
way to Naples.
Juuv s.—Their Highnesses the Grand Duke
anti Duchess returned to-day from their visit to Berlin and
Warsaw, at which latter city a series of fetes were given by
the Emperor and the Grand Duke Constantine. All
letters arid communications from Berlin describe in the
most lively terms the joy which was caused there by the
news of the victory of the Russians on the 11th of June.
' The conferences of the agel.ts of the stabs of central
Germany, at Cassel, proceed without interruption. It is
said that agents from two of the larger German states
L hays arrived at Cassel with proposals to the Commercial

Congress. Among the proposals made, the introduction
of a uniform system of weights, measures, and money is

We direct the attention of our readers to an
article, under the usual head, from the Times
of this morning. It details the exposure of a
most iniquitous system of fraud which has been
practised upon the public Revenue in the de-
partment of the Customs, perhaps for many years.
The wreck of the Cara Rica Castle off the Isle
of Wight, has brought this fraud to light, and if
it be as extensive as reported, we shall not be
sorry for the accident, seeing that no lives were
lost. There is more villainy, we understand,
supposed to be carried on under the mask of
" drawbacks" than the public would credit. In
the present instance, it is said that shipments of
large parcels marked as " glass," on which the
drawback is very great, had been made, and that
instead of glass only brickbats and rubbish were
found in the packages. The shipper is said to
have absconded. The keenest scrutiny is now
making into the business.

Lisbon and Oporto Papers have been received
to the 9th July. Their contents merely relate
to the capture of the blockading squadron off the
Island of Terceira. The whole number de-
tained was three English and two Portuguese
vessels. Don MIGUEL may mike what use he
pleases of the Portuguese vessels, but we trust
that he will be invited to give a good account of
the English.

DEATH OF EMANUEL ALLEN, ESQ.—We
have to-day to announce the death of Air. ALLEN, Clerk
of the Peace for the County of Middlesex. Mr. ALLEN
expired on Thursday night, after an illness of only a few
days. lle was universally respected by all who had to
transact business with him. He had been for many years
an eminent member of the legal profession, and Vestry
Clerk of St. Ann's, Soho, in which parish he resided.—
It is not a little remarkable that both the Clerk of the
Peace for the ci.y of London, and for the county of Mid-
dlesex, should he lying dead at the same time. LWe think
that advantage ought to be taken of the death of Mr.
ALLEN for reducing the enormous fees which were literally
wrung from the poor and unfortunate. An acquittal at
at the Middlesex Sessions was felt by a poor culprit to be
more expensive than a conviction. We believe that Mr.
PEEL made, or is about to raake, some alteration in this
matter. The present occasion presents a good opportunity
for a complete reform. The perquisites and emoluments
of the ofl'ce of Clerk of the Peace have been estimated at
4,0001.—being as much as those of a Cabinet Minister !]

OLD BAFkEY SESSIONS.—(rins DAY.)

OLD COURT.

Timothy CI-center, and Ann, his wire, were in-
dicted for breaking and entering the dwelling-house
of Thomas Pitway, and stealing therein a bed and
other articles, his property.
The Jury acqu►tted the man, and found his wife
Guiltv—Death.

Edmund Covey was indicted for stealing a watch,
and 30/. in monies, in a dwelling-house, the pro-
perty of Wm. Brandon.
The prosecutor stated that he lived at Hamwell ;
on the 29th of June the prisoner came to lodge in
the same house, and on that night slept in the same
bed. He awoke in the night, and found his new
companion had taken his departure, without saying
farewell. lie then discovered he had taken with

him his (the prosecutor's) watch, and 301. which
he had saved in money.
Several other witnesses were examined, who
proved that sometime after the robbery, the watch
was seen in the possession of the prisoner.
The LORD CHIEF BARON summed up, and the
Jury found the prisoner Guilty of stealing, but not
in a dwelling-house, which does away with the ca-
pital charge.
Eli:. Beth and Mary Ann Jones were indicted
for assaulting Michael M'Cro wan, and stealing from
his person 31. ls., his monies.
The prosecutor (an old man) stated, that about
five o'clock, on the Bth inst., he was walking down
Wentworth-streer, Whitechapel, when he passed a
door, at which the prisoners were standing ; they
pulled him into the house, and insisted upon his
treating them with some gill. He agreed to give
theta a sixpence for that purpose. Shortly after-
wards the prisoners threw him down on his back,
and robbed him of the money named in the indict-
ment. They were afterwards joined by eight or ten
other ladies—(Laughter)—but he got an officer and
picked them out.
Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—Was not
drunk, and he could not be mistaken as to their
identity. Never pointed out any one else as the
female who robbed him.

The prisoners on being called on for their de-
fence, positively denied the charge.
Mr. PHILLIPS then called Mr. Higley, Matter of
\Vhitechapel workhouse, who stated, that before
the prisoners were fully committed they were sent
to the workhouse, and when the prosecutor called
for the purpose of identifying them, they were
placed amongst several other females, and he picked
out two paupers as the persons that had robbed him.
Witness told him he must be mistaken, as those
women had not been out of the house, but he per-
sisted in his statement. .

The two females that had been pointed out by
le prosecutor, confirmed the statement of Mr.

Higley.
Mr. Justice BURROUGH, in summing up, said the
whole question for the Jury to consider was the
identity of the prisoners, which certainly appeared
very doubtful.
The Jury consulted for a short time, and then
returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
The prosecutor, addressing the Bench, stated that
he was 75 years of age, and had been deprived of
every shilling he had in the world, and that all his
friends lived in Scotland.

Chief Baron ALEXANDER alvised him to apply to
►e Scottish Hospital, and afterwards to commu-
icate to him the result of such application.

NEW COURT.

Elizabeth Briggs was capitally indicted for steal-
ing a 30/. note, and other property to a large amount,
from Mrs. Taylor, of Fleet-street, with whom she
lived servant ; and her father, Thomas Briggs, was
charged with receiving the same, knowing it to be
stolen.

The facts of this case arc of a novel character, in-
asmuch as the robbery was committed ten years
since, and never would have been found out, had it
not been for a quarrel the male prisoner had with
some part of his family. They are shortly, as
appealed from the evidence and statements of
the prisoners themselves, as follows :—ln the
year 1819 the female prisoner, who was then
very young, lived as servant with the prosecutfix in
Fleet-street, during which time she plundered her
of property to a considerable amount, to which she
was instigated and persuaded by her father, who re-
ceived what she stole. To such an extent was this
system of plunder carried, that the old man actually
bought a cottage (in which he had lived for years
since) with the proceeds. It appeared their plans
were most successful, for when the female left her
place, her mistress was so well satisfied, that she
obtained her another situation. It, however, hap-
pened, that last June a quarrel ensued, and the old
man went to a constable's at Limehouse, and de-
tailed to him the whole particulars of his daughter's
robbery, and of himself receiving the stolen property,
and in consequence of this information they were
both taken into custody.
The female prisoner, who was most dreadfully
agitated, declared she was compelled to commit the
robbery by the threats of her inhuman father, who
now after a lapse of ten years, was trying to take
away her life. Since she left the prosecutor, and
been free from the controul of her father, she had
lived in several situations, in all of which she had
witnesses to prove she had conducted herself with
the greatest propriety.
Several respectable persons with whom she has
lived as servant, gave her a most excellent character.
Mr. Serjeant ARABIN summed up; he said never
in the course of his experience in Criminal Courts
did he witness a more depraved character than the
man at the bar. The Jury would have no difficulty
in coming to a decision on his guilt.
The Jury itnmediately found both prisoners Guilty,
but strongly recommended the female to mercy, as
it was their unanimous opinion she was forced to
commit the robbery by her father.

Mr. Seijeant AR-A.IIIN ordered the man up for
judgment. The Learned Judge said it would be a
►waste of time to talk to a being devoid of every feel-

ing of humanity; to a man who in his opinion was
the most wicked that had ever stood at that bar.—
Language could not convey the horror that must be
entertained of a monster who forced his child to
commit an offence at the hazard of her life, and
then, after ten years, to turn round and give infor-
►nation aga;nst her. It was fortunate for him that
he had r►ot been capitally indicted, or the extreme
penalty of the law nould most assuredly have been
his fate. The sentence of the Court was, that he
be transported beyond the seas for the term of 14
years. The Learned Judge said, with respect to
the female, the recotnmendation of the Jury should
be attended to.
As the prisoner was removed from the dock, an
involuntary burst of execration burst forth amongst
the spectators.

COURT OF CHANCERY.

EX-PARTE THOMAS.-•POINT OF PRACTICE IN BANE.*

RUPTCY.
Mr. KNIGHT hail a question to submit to the
Court, upon a petition to turn en a point of practice
in bankruptcy, which he was unable to give an opi-
nion upon himself. There was a proceeding in a
pending bankruptcy before the Court, in which an
order had been made, and further directions reserved.
The assignee under the commission was the pe-
titioner, but he had since died, and another
had been chosen. It was necessary to have the
proceedings put in the same situation in the hands
of the present assignee in which they stood before
the death ; and by analogy to proceedings in causes,
it would be a mere matter of course to ask, by way
of reviver, to have the proceedings thus placed;
but what particu!ar rule prevailed on the subject in
the bankrupt office the Learned Counsel was not
aware.
