HOUSE OF LORDS, 14...4.Y 21. ~.
ROXBURGH CAUSE.
The House met to-day at two o'clock, for the outpose aregh,,,,
ting the mode of proceeding farther in the Roxbuzgh ;Yale, jiii
forwarding the business before the House.
The LORD CHANCELLOR ordered Counsel to utast ea
Monday, to be heard in the competition of brieves. His Lee&
ship threw out certain doubts, however, as to the state in whir,*
this important cause stood. The interlocutor of the Coax of
Session was of the most undefined nature, going generally is find
that the Estates were held by the late Duke under an entail, width
contained an effectual prohibition against altering the order of
succession ; and that the persons called to the summit* under
that branch of the destination, beginning with the eldest dinglo
ter of Harry Lord Ker, are heirs of teazle, under the said entail,
reserving to the defenders (defendants) all objections to the put.
suer's (plaintiff 's ) title, as accords. 'Under this interlocutor, there.
fore, the House was called on to decide an abstract point of law,
without seeing that all the proper parties were before them. This
was an order of proceeding contrary to the rules of that House, in
which no question of law could originate. It might, therefore,
still be necessary to send back the case to the Court of Session,
that the respondents might there prove their pedigrees. Thin
point, however, should be talked to on Monday. It is by as
means improbable, however, that this cause, after having ecru-
pied the grever part of the Sessions of Parliament, may, front
what fell from his Lordship, go back, in the first instance, to the
-ourt of Session in Scotland, for them to decide en the punnet)
plaintiff's) title.

SCOTCH T E its.

Promissory Note bill, the Assessed Taxes Bill, with some private
went through Committees, and were ordered to be re-
ported on Monday. Near So private Bills went through a second •
and third reading, and shoe some further routine business, th'
House adjourned till Mosey.

Soon after our Paper was at press on Saturday we I
received Dutch papers to the 19th inst. The sub-
stance of their contents was given in a considepable
part of our impres Aon, and this day we lay the details
of the Counter Revolution that has been effected in
Spain t•erk re our /leaders.
It is difficult, or rather impossible, to see the source
of all the movements that have taken place. It
it
probable they have been less the result of deliberate
plans than the unavoidable consequences. of cones:
tingencies over which 'the different :actors had little of
no controul. I is true NAPOLEON, in the situation
in which he stood, could ..g,2 advantage of circum
stances as they arose ; and it cannot be doubted has
now the entire direction of every thing that respects

Spain.

Accounts have reached town of the arristal OA&
coast of Norway of the expedition under the cot
mand of General Sir JOHN Moons and Admiral SW
R.. Szkvi, and that the landing of the_ snaps we
effected without opposition. This intelligence is not
official, but it is nevertheless entitled to credit. The
recent incursion of the Swedes into Norway, although,
partly unsuccessful, may therefore be considered as
having proved an important diversion in favour of oitt
expedition ; inasmuch as it has served to draw to.
wards the Swedish frr ntier :host of the regular and
organized force of Norway, and thereby enabled our
army to effect a landing with little or ne difficulty.
A short time will, we trust, enable us to communi•
cate to our readers some important and acceptable
intelligence from that quarter. With respect to the
repulse which the Swedes have experienced in Nor-
way, the Dutch papers state, on the authority of ac•
counts from Copenhagen, that it was the result of two
!actions, in one of which 2000 Swedes were slain, ad
