LIES OF THE DAY.

TheCourricr Francaig.—The embassy to Turin is
given to one of the present Ministers.
The Quolidienne.—The Ambassador of Naples
has required of the French Government that Con-
trefatto shall be given up.

. (From the Moniteur, Dec. 17.)
-.4.1.1(1611URGH, DEC. 11.—The Infant Don Miguel
arrived this morning at three o'clock, at the hotel
of the Three Moors, and his Royal Highness set out
this morning, at half-past eight, for Paris. The
Count de Villa Real, Ambassador from .Portugal to
the Court of London, and Counts Millo and Sal-
danha, were in his suite.

(From the Constitutionnel.)

PARIS, DEC. I6.—There was yesterday a large
number of members of the Council assembled at M.
de Villele's. Besides all the Ministers, M. de Mar-
tignac and several other persons were present. It is
said that the Ministers declared unanimously that
they would remain in office.
'BARCELONA, DEC. B.—An extraordinary Courier
arrived this morniiig from Madrid, to announce that
the Perle frigate, from the Havannah, had arrived
at Cadiz, having on board a million of ,dollars for the
Government. He had hardly reached us before the
Bill-brokers were employed by Government to take
up all the bills drawn on Cadiz, and on Madrid.—
This money has arrived opportunely, for the Court
had not enough for its most indispensible espences.
(From the Courrier Francais.)

PARIS, DEC. 16.—1 t is said, that the recent au-
dience obtained of the King by the Prince Polignac,
had For its object the propriety of his speedy returning
itti his Embassy at London. He has now been for
some months at Paris, on leave. Nothing is more
simple than this in our diplomacy; for people do
not enter into it on account of France, but, on their.
own account, and to enjoy a handsome salary: It
is of little consequence where the revenue of a sine-
cure is spent. At present we have no Ambassadors
either at London, Petersburgli, Vienna, Spain, or at
Washington. ur_ business goes on of itself, and
see, in consequence, what influence we possess
abroad—see how the Dey of Algiers trembles at
our blockade, and at the great expedition preparing
to be sent against Min in the spring.
13AIICELONA, DEC. S.—Since their Majesties
arrived here they have visited no places but the
Churches. It is said that they are to remain at
Barcelona . till the end of February: Up to this
moment there are, no signs that the past will be
forgotteli ; and theugh the Government is aware of
the rzviis we suffer, it seems to have no intention of
remedying them.
BUCHAREST, Nov. 26.—N0 news has been re-
ceived here direct from Constantinople, of
.a Liter
'date than the llth, but it seems certain that the re-
port of the departure of the Ministers of the Allied
Powers was unfounded. The Seraskier, who com-
mands in Silistria, received despatches from Con-
stantinople, dated the 20th, and at that time the city_
was perfectly tranquil.; that the negotiations with
the Austrian lnternuncio were continued, and. that-,
the three Ministers bad not left .their posts; but
what seems more important is, that a firman.of the
Sultan, brought by ,Tartars, to all the, Commandants
of .the fortresses on the Danube, enjoins them to
prevent, till runner u. tiers, all ch. Tuths 41 Llica vi
belonging to the- troops stationed along the river, to
pass. Only merchants provided with passports are
allowed to cross the Danube and enter Moldavia
and WalliChia. According to this, things are to
remain oil their ancient footing. This firman'proves
that the Porte seeks to avoid every thing which
mightleek like a violation of the last Treaties with
Russia, and might bring the troops of that Power on
the Ottoman territory. The arrival of such orders
is regarded here as satisfactory evidence of pacific
invitations, and it is hoped the crisis will pass with-
out bloodshed.

VIENNA, DEC. 7.—The Austrian Observer, in its
yesterday's Paper, takes the part of Ibrahim Pacha.
" We have at length received," it says, " authentic
news of every thing which happened at Navarin,
from the sth to the 19th of November, and the
state of affairs in that town and in the Morea, since
the destruction of the fleet on the 20th of October.
It is now proved that Ibrahim Pacha was not tlaere
at the time, nor even in the southern part of the
Morea. He had repaired to the interior, with the
view of endeavouring to supply Patras with ,provi-
sions .by land, having been prevented from accom-
plishing it at the beginning of October by sea. Ac-
cording to other reports, he was on the road to Tri-
polizza, occupied in getting provisions. He did not
return to Navarin till four (lays after the catastrophe,
and his first act, when he arrived, was to publish an
Order of the Day, in which it was said, that who-
ever insulted a Frank should be punished with
death. He also granted protection to the Greeks,
and neither before or since the 20th of October has
Ibrahim Pacha rendered himself guilty of the acts of
which he has been accused.* He is now occupied
at Navarin in endeavouring to save some part of his
fleet. The provisions holed in store will serve him
for two or three months, and as Navarin is not
blockaded, Ibrahim and his troops 'wiil want for
nothing.
PARIS, DEC. 16.—1 t is said in an account of the
battle of Navarin, published in the shape of a letter
from Smyrna, that the English Admiral, on entering
Navarin, bad sent a boat on board the Turkish Ad-
miral, directing him to leave the port.
FRANKFORT, DEC. IL--Letters from Vienna an-
nounce that the Porte adheres to the armistice pro-
posed by Austria, and that Ibrahim Pacha has in con-
sequence received orders to suspend all hostilities
immediately. , The same letters announce that a
Congress has been determined on at Constantinople,
which, during the armistice, is to assemble at Oren,
in Hungary, to which the Allied Powers and the
Porte are to send Plenipotentiaries for the purpose
of arranging, under the mediation of Austria and
Prussia, all difficulties that may be opposed to
the pacification of the East on the bases of the Treaty
of the 6th July.

GREAT NATURAL CURIOSITY.--*As the
workmen of Mr. Jo FIN Ariti NSON cabinet-maker, Rune-
lagh-street, were lately sawing up a log of Zebra-wood,
from Rio Janeiro, they found, in the very centre, a large
insect, alive and active. The wood was ten feet long,
eighteen inches wide, and five inches thick. The insect,
which is still lively, resembles a huge caterpillar, divested
of hair. It is upwards of two inches long, and as thick as
an ordinary man's finger. It is of a dull cream colour, has
nine joints, or articulations, with a coloured spot on each
side of every division. It has sharp teeth, or mandibles,
with which it will seize firmly hold of a piece of paper, or

LONDON,.
THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 20, 1827.

It is useless to enter into the controversy
which is going on between some of our Cotem-
poraries, relative to the rumours which have been
afloat of Lord GOD:ERICH having tendered his
resignationto his MAJESTY or not. It is suf-
ficient to repeat our assertiops of yesterday, that
his Lordship remains at the head of the Ad-
ministration. The other rumours which are cir-
culated with so much alacrity, of subordinate
changes, are also, we have reason to believe,
without foundation.

A letter is in town from Odessa, of the latest
(late (27th of November), which mentions
that the CAPSTAN PACHA had arrived at
the capital, and given to the Turkish Go-
vernment a very different account of the affair
at Navarin to that they were in possession of
before: This had increased the SULTAN'S
irritation very considerably, so that there appear-
ed no probability of a peaceful termination.
By the same conveyance it is stated that ac-
count's had been received at Constantinople from
Smyrna, ol a further conflict. hi unmeqUenCe of
the forts of the latter port having fired on some
of our vessels of war, Whether to warn them off
or not to enter, the port . was not ,known : this
had been deemed an act of hostility on their part,
and the result was the total destruction of
the fortifications from which the insult had
emanated ; there is also a report of the embargo
which had been taken off having been resumed.
ODESSA, Nov. 27.—A ship under the Rus-
sian Flag • arrived to-day, in four days, from Con-
stantinople. ilhe Captain of which reports,
that four others sailed at the same time
after several conferences between the Dragoman
(two of them are now in sight). It appears that
and the PORTE, the latter agreed 'to give
clearances to the Austrian and Sardinian vessels,
and two days afterwards to ships generally.
All was quiet at Constantinople. Five ships
have arrived, Russian, Sardinian, and Austrian.

An Express has reached town this forenoon
from Paris, by which the Gazette de France of
yesterday morning has been received. It con-
tains the following articles, which, like some
others that have lately appeared in that paper,
seem to have been manufactured for the purpose
of keeping up the-Funds: The French Funds,
however, on Tuesday, were not much affected by
these articles, as they closed, the Five per Cents.
at 101 f. 75c., and the Three per Cents. at
681. 15c.

In regard to the news from Constantinople, received by
Government, which we gave yesterday, under the date of
the 24th of November, we can now add that the Pucha of
Egypt. was not much Nurrised at, the. destruction of his
fleet, which he considered as compromised since the junc-
tion of the Allied squadrons ; and it is assured that he is
greatly pressing the Porte to accede to the propositions of
the Allied Powers, declaring at the same time that his
resources are exhausted.

It was on the 2d of November that an Egyptian corvette
brought to the. Pacha the news of the engagement at
Navarin. This event has not in the least changed his sen-
timents in his conduct in regard to the French. The
corvette Dauphenoise, which brought the news, left
Alexandria on the 7th ult.

Private letters state that the Paella of Egypt has sent one
of his Nobles to France, and another to St. Petersburgb.

Our Correspondent from Frankfort, at the date of the
14th of December, writes as follows :—" The news which
we received yesterday of a pacific character is confirmed to-
day by a courier . from Viana, at the departure of the
courier. The Actions of the Bank, got up to 1,074.
It is assured that the Reis Effendi declared his wish to
commence direct negotiations with the Allied Ambassadors.
This news has caused a movement in the Metalliques,
which have got up to 90 9-16; the Actions 1,289-90 ;
the Obligations 1161.

The Paris Papers of Monday, and the Gazette
de France dated Tuesday morning, reached us
last night ; their contents ate unimportant. They
contain no intelligence of the affairs of Turkey
or Greece which had not been previously re-
ceived. The Mon tour announces the. arrival
of Don MIGUEL at Augsburgh on the 10th, and
his Royal Highness'S departure from thence for
Paris on the morning of the fith.

The French Funds are rather lower. The

3 per cents. opened on Monday at„6Bl. 20c. and
at half-past three o'clock were 67f. 95c. Ex-
tracts of these Papers are given in anothei-
column.

We received la; t -night New York' Papers tc
the 2d inst.: they contain. no riolitical,news.--
-We subjoin a few extracts, amongst which is
one om,the National Advocate,.giving an ac-
count of a duel which terminated with the death
of Mr. Wm. G. GRAHAM, Assistant Editor of
the New York Enquirer :

NEW YORK . —Mr. Wm. G. Graham,'Assistant Editor
of the New York Enquirer, and .Mr. Barton, of Phila-'
delphia, went with their seconds to the Jersey shore,• in dif-
ferent boats, to settle a quarrel with pistols. They. break-
fasted at Weehawlc, and then proceeded to the beach, about
a mile • above Weehawk, om the margin of, the North
River. }Tem the grouOd was marked. out, and the prin-
cipals placed ten paces apart, face to face, and. the' 'word
being given, both fired without effect. PreparatiOns were
immediately made, and 'another fire took place, . which
proved fatal to Mr. Graham, the ball taking effect in his
side. He fell instantly, -and exclaimed, "lam a dead
man." He was taken from the ground into the boat
which conveyed him to the spot, and died before he reached
this side. • 'The body was landed at the French tan-yards,
about two miles above the • city, 'at 11 o'clock yesterday-.

NEW YORK, Nov. 29: %—,COTTO N..—Sal es of, this article
areagain -beginning- to be made pretty freely, at 'a small
reduction, however; from previous prices. - The finer sorts
have been chiefly' taken far home use, and of that descrip-
tion the market is almost bare. The heavy shippers are
in expectation of a better supply than the market at present
affords, and also a further reduction in price. Advices
from Liverpool, received yesterday by the packet ship
James Cropper, state a further decline in the article 'of
of a penny in that market. , The sales since the last,
amount to - about 2,100 bales, chiefly Uplands,: at S to

New ORLEANS, OCT. 30.—A gentleman who left Pen-
sacola on Thursday last, informs ns, that the buildings of
the United States Navy yard, below the town, were all in
flames, as the schooner Thorn. passed out of the harbour.

FRANKFORT, DEC. 7.

Public Journals report, that the " Refutation of the in-
jurious accusetion.Whieh isle Serene flightless-the reigning
Dulee of Brunswick has thought fit to make against his
august guardian
.(his Majesty the King of England), and
the men who %rue entrusted during his minority with the
Administration of his Government aM with his Educa-
tion," written by Count Munster, the Hanoverian Cabinet
Minister, contains the following passage:---" I conjure his
Highness not to try the patience of the King to the utmost.
His Majesty has given a proof of his respect for the existing
conventions in not making use of his power to protect
himself against fresh accusations from the Duke. The
Independent Princes of Germany have bound themielves
by the AC't of Confederation not to decide their disputes by
sirens ; but this law is not calculated for a case like that of
the actual differences between the King and his Serene
Highness."
On the 24th November, there way a meeting of the Di-
rectors and Council of the Rhenish West India Company,
at Elberfeld In the report presented .Dy the Directors,
it was observed that ,the affairs of the urrent year tt's
forded feW materials for printed communications to the
shareholders, because the re-action of the commercial crisis
of 1925 and 1826 had been felt at the close of the last
and the beginning of the present year by an unparalleled
-stagnation in the Colonial Markets, and an extraordinary
scarcity of ready money, which had of course deterred the
Directors from engaging in new undertakings. They would
have been obliged entirely to suspend them for the present,
had not his Majesty the King of Prussia been graciously
pleased in the terms of the Cabinet Order, issued on
the occasion, '' further to support the operations of
the Rhenish West India Company at Elberfeld, hiits im-
portant and efficacious exertions for the promotion of the
national commerce and Manufactures. 7. With this view his
Majesty has taken the half of the shares still:undisposed of,
viz., 500 shares at 500 dollars Prussian currency per
share. The Company has thus obtained an addition of
250,000 dollars to its capital, and possesses at present a
fund of 1,750,000 dollars.
VIENNA, DEC. 7.

His Royal Highness Don Miguel left us yesterday after-
noon at four o'clock. It is affirmed that her Majesty
Queen Maria do Gloria, his future consort, will arrive here
in the spring from Rio de Janeiro, to be educated at the Im-
perial Court. Her Majesty will land at Naples, and be as-
companied hither by her Imperial Highness the Archduchess
Clementine.
The Archduke Ferdinand of Este, General-in-Chief in
Hungary, is hourly expected in the Palace of his mother,
the Archduchess Beatrix. It is believed that bis Highness
has been sent for to be present at the deliberation on the
eventual measures which it would be neceerary to adopt on
the frontiers of Hungary and Transylvania, in case of a
breach between Russia and the Porte.

Letters from Cadiz state, that by advices from
Havannah of the 14th October, it appears that
LABORDE was ready to sail with his fleet, in
which several thousand troops had been em-
barked.

Gibraltar Chronicles of the 29th November
have been received ; it seems that sanguine ex-
pectations were entertained of a speedy adjust-
ment of the differences between France awl
Algiers ; the former demands that the vesselscap-
tured by the latter shall be given up to the right-
ful owners as a sine qua non, to which the DET is
not averse ; but he asserts it wilt be out of his
power to persuade his subjects to divest them.
selves of their prizes; and if coercive measures
were used, would excite great discontent, as
those who have fitted out the corsairs are rich, and
possess much influence. Even his own safety might
be compromised.
In such . case, no other
'resource remains but to pay out a hii 'own

purse ; but he protests against this arrange-
ment, and says it is intended to compel him
to pay for. these French merehan't vessels cap-
tured by other nations bearing his flag. He
adds, that not more titan six Vessels have been
taken into Algerine. ports by his subjects, and he
is willing to make compensation for_thesc ; but
it would be an-.act of injustice to make his people
pay for what they had received no benefit fkom-

man whom she never saw before nor since, but that now a
married man and the father of a family voluntarily came
forward and avowed himself the father of the child, and
to this the woman was ready to make oath. The Magi-
strates observed they never had so singular a case before,

Are you Married?—No. Is the person who now says he
is the father of the child, the same that you met with at
the hotel?—No; this man is the father of the child. Did
you see him at the hotel ?—No.- Did not you say the man
'at the hotel was the father of the child ?.—Yes. Was he ?

ATTORNEY-GENERAL L MAYOR AND CORPORATION 01

WARWICK.

Mr. SUGDEN appeared for the defendants in this'
part heard matter, and continued his defence. The
matter has been under discussion for several' days ;
it ken old stager in this Court. The brief history
of the thing is this ;--a dispute arose between the
Corporation and the Vicar, upon the question of
which ,of the parties had the right of appointing a
Lecturer or Assistant to the parish church of St.
Maiy, Warwick, of which the Vicar in question is
Vicar. The Corporation have been in the habit, for a
longtime back of paying the Lecturer. The Vicar ap-
pointed one(comparatively) lately; the Corporation re-
fused to acknowledge or to pay him. The Vicar pre-
sented a petition in a very old information, praying
that the Court would order the. Corporation to pay
the salary. The Corporation contended, that for
time immemorial they had appointed the Lecturer,
and that the right of appointment was in them. The
Vicar brought forward one or two instances as evi-
dence of his r.ight,of appointment by his predecessors.
The CoUrt referred it to the Master to inquire in
whom the right of appointment was ; the Mas-
ter reported in favour of the Vicar;, and the
matter was now brought on upon exceptions,
to that report; and upon two petitionsthe one on
the part'of the Vicar, praying that the report might
be confirmed generally, with the exception of a poi,
tion' Of evidence the Master had admitted; and • the.
otheron the part of the Vicar also, praying, ars mi.
ginally, that the Corporation might be ordered to pay
the Lecturer.

The case appeared as if it would occupy the whole
of the day.

The ATTORI4ET-GENERAL stated the case. The
the situation of governess. The defendant is
gentleman of large fortune, who made an attempt
some years ago to found an establishment called the
Atheiusum, in Regent-street, for the purpose of pro-
moting the Belle Lettres and Fine Arts in different
branches. The Institution was to be established by
shares, and supported by public subscription. Mr.
Joddrel devoted his constant attention to the founda-
tion of the Institution. He received his visitors there
directed his letters from it, and engaged different per-
sons to attend different branches of the institution.
Amongst other persons he engaged the plaintiff, who
had lived as governess in the family of a most re-
spectable gentlemen, in the situation of housekeeper
to the Athenreum. That situation she filled for se-
veral months, until at length the public subscriptions
not coming as quickly as expected, and the specu-
lation failing, the. establishment was broken
Subsequently Mr. Joddrel, the defendant became

property was given to some of the
ma-
nagement fronoyhhiesLord:Chancellor, by which the
oenthers of his family, one of whom was the real
defendant in this cause. It could be proved, however,
that at the period when the plaintiff was engaged as
housekeeper, the defendant managed his own affairs,
kept his banker's accounts with great regularity,and
in every other respect conducted himself as a person
competent to the management of his own business.
It was suggested that the defence which was intended
to be set up, was that the plaintiff had conspired with a
person named Duane to impose on Mr. Joddrel, who
was a man of weak understanding.. The plaintiff
certainly knew Mr. Dunne, who was connected with
the Institution; but she was a woman of most re-
spectable character, and defied the defendant to
offer any evidence that she had taken any advantage
of Mr. Joddrel. As to the amount of the plaintiff's
demand, there was no written agreement between
her and the defendant; but she stated that Mr.
Joddrel, when engaging her, had agreed to give her
a salary of 601. a-year, which was not larger than
the salary usually given to housekeepers in respect-
able families.

Wm. Young stated, that he was a messenger at
the Athenaeum, and that Mr. Paul Richard Joddrel.
was constantly at the InStitution .and in the habit
of eating and drinking there. 'The witness pro-
duced a book, in which there was an entry of a reso-
lution of the Committee of the Institution, appoint-
ing Miss Fencher as housekeeper, and the name of
the defendant was signed by himself as. President.
On his cross-examination, the witness stated that
he received the books of the Institution from Mr.
Dunne, who is a surgeon, and filled the office of
managing superintendent of the Institution. The house
occupied. by the Institution was 164, Regent-street,
and the establishment consisted of Mr. Dunne,
Miss Fencher, the witness, and two female servants.
Mr. Donna and Miss Fencher afterwards lived to-
gether in the same house, in Manchester-buildings,
but the witness (lid not know and never beard that
they occupied the same bed. Miss Fencher got
her bread by painting and teaching foreign languages.
Mr. RICHARDSON stated, that he was a lecturer.
He had given the opening lecture of the Institution,
and from that period until the year 1824, bad fre-
quent communications with Mr. Joddrel on the sub-
ject of the Institution. Mr. Joddrel took ar active
part in the • formation of the Institution, of
which he was President. Mr. Joddrel did not
appear to witness to be a man of unsound under-
standing.
John Anderson was called to prove that he asked
Mr. Joddrel who was to pay for some smith's work
done at the Athenaeum, and Mr. Joddrel replied, that
he was the President, and would pay. The witness
stated that he had seen the plaintiff acting as house-
keeper at the Institution, and that he considered 601.
per annum as a moderate remuneration for a house-
keeper, who provided her own food.
Two other witnesses were produced to prove that
Miss Fencher lived in the family of Mr.'Bouverie, a
gentleman of fortune in Northamptonshire, in the
character of a governess, and companion to the young
ladies of the family.
Mr. GURNIX remarked that Mr. Dunne was the
witness who had been discharged out of *custody by
'his Lordship yesterday.
Lord TENTERDEN—Yes, and he then swore that
he came here on a subpoena daces tuum.
The plaintiff's attorney stated, that Mr. Joddrel
called on him to settle the transaction, which was
the subject of the present action. He desired that
an account of the debt and costs should be
,sent to
his • house at- Portland-place. The witness stated
`that he had two other actions against the defendant,
itlne of which was on behalf of Yoeng,,the first
'witness.
Different tradesmen who had done business at the
'Athenaeum deposed to having received orders from
the defendant.
