Letters received by express from Madrid, dated
the 28th ult. state that everything was tranquil in the
Spanish capital, and the people were anxiously wait-
lug for the opening of the new Cortesiwhich was to
take place on the following day; theist inst. when it
would be an object of curiosity to bear what the
Km; had to say in his speech on tira4 solemn occa-
sion. It was thought the present Ministers would
resign their places as a thing of course, but it was
dubious whether their resignations would be accepted,
atpeast if the public wishes were in any way consulted.
These letters further state, that the KING has con-
sented to remove to Badajos, on the approach of the

• We learn from an English Gentleman just returned
from Rome, that the robbers have again made their
'appearance on the frontiers. On his passage through
Terracina, he saw the body of a Brigand, who had
been. killed the day before, exposed in the public
street. The Neapolitan gens d'armes had been'
for some time in pursuit of a band that was knoWn
to consist of seventeen daring villains; the uhfor-'
tunate wretch my friend saw, had been surprised'
by them as he was acting as a spy for his troop.:'
and summoned to surrender himself to the hands of
justice; which he, knowing the multiplicity of his
horrid offence4, determined not to do, but took to
flight. Several of the soldiers, among whom• was.
one whose hie the robber had attempted two years•
before, followed him closely and fired at him as
he was entering a thicket, where he hoped tb
elude their pursuit; he was wounded in 'the leg, but.
crying out " Madonna, Madonna mi.' !" he still.
rushed on among the bushes; before, however, he.
could conceal himself from their view, a serer aim'
pierced his body, and extended him a corpse.---
He had on him an excellent gun, a belt well pro-
vided with powder and bullets, and two long
daggers, a small-picture of the Holy Virgin hung
round his neck as usual; for these miscreants, how-
-1 ever deep they wade in crime, never forget their at-
tachment to religious superstition. His body had ut
fitst been exposed naked; but the Austrian CereN
mandint shocked with' such indecency, had ordered
it to be dressed ;• as my friend passed, he was Ifing
in the costaste of his order, that is to say, alitie yeti
veteen jacket,- at waistcoat of the same stuff fastened
with yellow strings instead-of buttons, dark velveteen
breeches, and tight leather gaiters. According to One
of the gens-d'armes, the yellow strings to the waist-
coat are adopted by. the robbers as a distinction to
shewthatsthe person who wears them is but a novice
in the profession.

COURT OE CHANCERY—THIS DAY..
. •
THE OP2RA ROUSE.
WATERS V. TAYLOR.
Mr. Hoax stated, that this was i case concerning
the property of the Opera House.. The creditors
conceived that their interest ought to have been taken
care of : they were not aware of the matter coming
on the other day before his Honour; they wished,
tbtrefore, to have an opportunity of being heard,
witb,a view to the protection of their interest in this
subject..
Mr. WINGFIELD said, that if the object of the mo-
tion which had been heard before his Honour lately
had been to pay money out of Court, the creditors
would have had a right to be heard ; but they had
no such right in this case, because they had no inte-
rest in the question.
-The VICE-CHANCELLOR.-14 This is not a motion
for the payment of money out of Court, it is, on the
contrary, for the payment of money into Court; and,
in my present view of the subject, it is the best thing
that could happen for the creditor% but that they
have no right to be heard uportitt.ittbuy thlnlther
have, their course is, to move that the Order may be
discharged ; and, if they think they have that right
on account of the Order being made in their absence,
they must give notice of their motion to all the par-
ties who have been already heard upon the matter,
and then their motion may come. on, but tdo.not
think that they had any right to be heard on that
Order, because they have no interest in the question;
that is my present impression, buf they may bring the
matter on again if they give that notice."

SHERIFFS' COURT, RED LION-SQUARE.
DICES V. SIR THOMAS SWYSISSVR CILAMTNITS.
This was a proceeding on a writ of inquiry-before the Sheriffs
of Middlesex, against the defendant Sir Thomas Swymtner
Champneys, Baronet; of Orchard Leigh, near Frome, in So-
merset.hire, to recover the amount of h 7. 3s. 6d. for goods sold
and delivered.

The plaintiff, Richard Biggs, is a respectable fishmonger, at
Temple-bar, and had, at various times last summer, sent downlhe
Most costly fish of the season, when the defendant had parties,
which orders were given to him by Mr. Archibald Brummer,
the defendant's then attorney in town, and the goods were
packed up, and forwarded by couch to the defendant's residence.
After several private applications, Mr. Richatdson, the plain-
tiff's attorney, wrote to the defendant for the amount, £7. 3s. 6d.
In the early part of December last, and received an answer front
Sir Thomas " that notwithstanding he had paid the debt chivvied
before to his then agent to town, be would write for 'it to 'be
again liquidated."
Mr. Brummer said no such money was paid him ; is was the
only outstanding debt, and he was anxious for it to be settled
before he received his bill.

Several letters were produced by the plaintiff's attorney,
nearlyamounting to an acknowledgment of the debt, which Mr.
Drummer identified as the handwriting of the Baronet.
The SHIRIPf was of opinion the plaintiff's attorney ought to
have brought the person who delivered the parcel to the coach,
for proof of delivery ; he, however, left It to the Jury to decide
upon the merits of the case, sod to award such damns..., if any,
as they thought proper.

After a few minutes consultation, the Jury returned a Verdict
