DON JUAN.

The refusal of the LORD CHANCELLOR to grant an
injunction to restrain the piracy of the former Cantos
of Don Juan, induced the publisher of the 6th, 7th,
and Bth Cantos, to print them at so low a price as,
if possible, to reader it impossible that the copyright
should be invaded. This precaution was, however,
found insufficient; a pirated edition has been pub-
lished, and the proprietor of the copyright (Lord
Byron) has been compelled to seek the protection of
a Court of Equity.
This morning, on the sitting of the Court of Chan-
cery, Mr.WAKeersco moved for an injunction against
Wiliam Hodgson, Bookseller, and his Agents, to re-
strain them from publishing three Cantos, 6,7, and i
8, of a certain work, called Don Juan. This he '
moved on an affidavit, made on behalf of Lord Byron,
which stated that the work in question was the pro.
perty of Lord Byron, and that it is now in the course
of circulation; that the defendants have pirated,
verbatim, these three Cantos, which, Mr.WAKEFIELD
said, he had read carefully, and could assure his
Honour there was no objection to a word of the
said Cantos.

Upon the ground that the work in question is en-
titled to the protection of the Court, as the property
of the author, he, therefore, now sought that protec-
tion by the injunction of the Court against those who
have pirated any part of the work.
VICE•CIIANCELLOS.—Was any application ever be-
fore made to restrain the publication of Don Juan ?
Mr. WAKEFIELD.—None, Sir.
VICE-CHANCELLOR.—Take your injunction.

MESSRS. ROTHSCHILD.

ENVIRONS OF SEU, JULY 4,

The miquelets and the militia are continually ra-
vaging the country, and ill-treating the inhabitants.
The partisan Anton Eroles arrived a few days ago at
Orgagna, and plundered many houses in that town.
He arrested two individuals at that place, one of
them, called Espa, was more generally known by
the name of Bountiful : he was very rich. The other
was killed in the road. Two females of the village
of Drail have been ill-treated by some miquelets who
were in that neighbourhood. Notwithstanding the
threats of Romagosa, the garrison continues to throw
bombs on the town.
PERPIGNAN, JULY 5.

The preparations for the siege of Barcelona are
carried on with much activity. The news of the
death of Manso is confirmed. That General died at
Reus of a disorder in the chest. The Constitution-
alists have sustained a loss in him which they will
not easily repair.. He was one of the most distin-
guished guerilla Chiefs.
CADIZ, JULY 8.

The Infantas are in the greatest grief—the Prince
and Princesses do not cease to pray—they have been
transferred to the hospital.
We are assured that Prince Carignan has demanded
to visit the Queen, in the name of his Father; and a
Portuguese vessel arrived to reclaim the Princess of
Reyna and her son, but her Royal Highnesi wished
to remain with his Majesty.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday contain a bulletin
(dated head-quarters, Madrid, July 9), which an-
nounces that the Marquis de MARGUKYRE, command-
ing the blockading corps before Santona, had reported
that " The garrison of Santona made a sortie on the
2d. The enemy, to the number of about 600-men,
(not 6000, as stated .by our contemporaries) ad-
vanced in three columns, and forced our advanced
posts to retire ; but they were soon stopped by two •
companies of the 35th and one, company of the 21st
Regiments. The engagement became obstinate, and
the enemy, protected by the 'fire of the forts, main-
tained their ground some time; at'length the vigorous
attacks of our troops forced them to abandon their

CATHOLICS.

On Saturday last an Aggregate Meeting of the
Catholics of Ireland was held in Dublin. The As-
sembly was numerous and respectable, and comprised
all the leading characters of the Catholic body at
present in Ireland. Lord KILLEEN was called to the
Chair, and Mr. O'GORMAN officiated as Secretary to
the Meeting. Sir EDWARD BELLEw moved that the
(Iraft of an Address to the King be read, imploring
his Majesty to take the state of the Irish Catholics into
hu gracious consideration, and to recommend to Par-
liament to redress their grievances.
.The Address
was unanimously adopted. Resolutions of thanks
were nest passed to Mr. PLUNKETT and the Earl of
Do)IOUORNoRE. Mr. N. MASON then proposed that
a Catholic Association should be formed. Mr. O'Con-
sec and Mr. SHIEL addressed the Meeting at length
on the subject, after which the proposition was una-
nimously adopted.

We are happy to find, by the annual report of the

the evening, that it is going on prosperously, and'
above all, that it is acquiring an extensive capital in
the funds, and in houses or land, by which alone per-
manence can be given to its valuable objects. It was
observed, however, that the claims on the fund are
increasing, and timing the last year have exceeded
any firmer period. Among the donations to the cha-

India Stock, was yesterday held at the Company's
House in Leadenhall-street.

Government, for the purpose of defraying Pensions,
and retired Allowances to the Officers and Soldiers
of his Majesty's Army employed in
Mr. IIt;ME and Mr. KINNAIRD opposed the mo-
tion, on the ground that no Report had been laid
before the Proprietors, containing reasons for making
the grant, which, they contended, was contrary to
one of the bye-laws.
TheCllAln zAN,theDEPUTYCHAIRMAN,Mr.PAr-

perfectly regular.

DEATH OF THE CATHOLIC ARCHBISHOP
OF DUBLIN.
if

The venerable, learned, and pious Doctor JOHN
THOMAS TROY, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dub-
lin, died at his residence iii Cavendish-row, on Satur-
day evening, after an illness of some weeks. He was
a Bishop forty-seven years, and filled the Metropo-
litan See thirty-seven. Doctor TROY was born in the
cith of Dublin, hi July, 1739—appointed Bishop in
December, 1776, consecrated in the following year,
1777, and translated to the Archdiocese of Dublin in
1786. Doctor Tor possesses a sound understand-
mg, extensive information, and great virtue. The
whole of his long life was exclusively devoted to the
duties of his sactred calling. He was aged eighty-
three years and ten months. As a mark of respect to
his memory, it has been resolved that his funeral shall
be a public one.

The proposition of Senor Canga, as amended by
Senor Arguelles, was then unanimously
the following terms: •
" That the Government shaU to-nsdrrow inform the Cortes
of the place which his Majesty has been pleased to point oue.for
the removal of the Government and the Cortes ; and also of the
measures which have already been adopted for tuning the re-
moval into effect."

then to suspend all other business and consider ex-
clusively of the means of securing the Govitnnsent.
For.this purpose he would propose to confine the de.
liberations. of the Cortes to that single point, and he
thought that the sitting 'Meld be permanent.
The Paianspwr.—ln order that the discussion may
have a fixed object, I beg leave to read the proposi-
tion of Senor Ferret ; which was accotdingly read, as
follows I request that the Cortes shall, *ithoin
delay, call upon the Ministers to give an, account of
the state of the relations Kith. Fraice, and whether or
not the time for removing the Government to a place
of security bas arrived ?"—Agreed to.
The Ministers who had been summoned, arriving,
the motion of Signor Ferrer was read to them.
Senor CANGA enquired whether circumstances
had varied for or against the country *since the de-
cree of the Cortes for the removal of the Government
was passed ; and whether it was true that a great-
part of the French force in the Pyrenees is expected
to move on the sth?
The SECRETA nlf of State for Foreign Affairs—l have
the honour to state that it is certain that the French
troops are drawing closer into the Pyrenees, and that
it is very probable that by the. 15th there may be 80
or 90,000 men on the frontiers.

Senor CANGA wished the Sitting to be declared
permanent, until it was determined to what point the
Government should be removed.
The proposition being read,
Senor BENITO wished to know what -had been
done respecting the Decree of the 17th ult. relative
to choosing a point to which the Goyermnent should
be removed? •

MC MINISTER for WAR said the Decree had been
referred to a Junta of General Officers, who were in-
formed that they must make a report upon it at the
latest on the following day. The Military Junta
complied with this instruction, and on the 2lth the
report was referred, with notice of urgency, to the
deliberation of the Council of State. The day before
yesterday "ano;her Royal order was transmitted fiem
my department requiring that the deliberation should
be concluded, but as yet no decisiOn has been come to.
Senor 'CA NG A.—We are not now to be impeded by
formalities, which in quieter times might be very pro-
per. The Council of State has occupied six days in
deliberation, which, at a moment like.the present, is
equal to six years.
The SECRETE RY for the Home Department stated,
that his Majesty wishing to have the opinion of the
Council of State, the Report of the Junta-General was
reteried to thein. Ile added, that according to in-
formation received toy the Government, a considerable
French army threatened the frontiers, and that within
a few days that army would be in a condition to at-
tempt an aggression which Spain could not repel
with equal force.

DUMFRIES CURLING MATCH'.

From the 11th to the 17th of the present month, this old and
favourite amusement seemed quite the order of the day, and was
everywhere kept up with uncommon spirit. In the morning
nothing was to be seen but the waving of brooms, and bet little
heard save the clatter of cramps and cbannel.stoties, mingled
with the noisy-mirth of combatant% to all appearance as eager
to engage in the icy campaign. as if the fate of nations had de-
pended on the result. Within the time alluded to, a greater
number of bonspids, as they are called, have been played than
we have leisure to enumerate, or indeed have been informed of.
Friday a match was decided between the Curling Society of Dom-
' fries and the parish of Tinwald, on the Black Loch, at the head
of Tinwald—a point to which our townsmen had to travel eight
miles, sometimes through snow nearly three feet deep. The
party, to the number of forty players, were immediately divided
into five rinks, when, after a contest almost unparalleled for its
keenness, the Dumfries Society carried the palm, having won at
four, and only lost at one rink; and even at this the victory was
decided by a single shot. At the conclusion of the game, each
man was regaled with a bumper of good old stingo, and a thump-
ing piece of bread and cheese, when all left the Loch highly
pleased with the sports of the day. Mr. Amu HANNAY is the
present Preses of the Dumfries Curling Club, and` to his kind
attention in forwarding the channel-stones by his own carts and

The practice of betting (says a Glasgow paper) lip become
much more general here than it used to be. We have heard of
a Gentleman in this town who bas betted that, in two months,
he will produce a pig to run against a horse, for a distance of
100 yards. The race is to he in no open field, and the pig is to
run to its meat. The odds «rein favour of the pig.

BAYONNE, JANUARY 12.

A letter from the extreme frontier, dated the 10th
inst. states—" Several travellers from Spain announce
that the Liberaux ate in the utmost consternation in
consequence of intelligence which has reached them
that General Sarfield is advancing upon Cerdaane,
with a strong Royalist division,well armed and equip-
ped. The army of Mina may be considered as en-
tirely disbanded, and the blockade of Seo no longer
exists. It is even confidently stated that the Consti-
tutionalists abandoned Puycerda on the 9th, and that
Mina had set off on the preceding day. His cavalry
follows him in the most deplorable state."

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
" PARIS, JANUARY 21.
It is pretty evident that some interruption to the
harmony subsisting between the French and English
Courts has taken place. The rejection of the prof-
fered mediation with regard to Spain is one cause
assigned ; but I find other explanations current, of
which I give the following as a specimen, without
vouching for its authenticity. Sir Charles Stuart, it
is said; in consequence of having observed that fre-
quent communications were made from the Russian
Ambassador to the French Government, respeCting
which great secrecy was maintained, complained to
Mr. Canning of this reserve, as leaving him entirely
uninformed on the policy Russia was pursuing on
the great question in agitation. Mr. Canning, in
reply, gave positive instructiont to Sir C. Stuart to
press the French Ministry, and to demand an explana-
tion on this point ; when it was disclosed to our
ambassador with' some reluctance, that Russia had
been urging the French Government in the strongest,
manner to undertake the invasion of Spain ; and, to
Remove all pleas of weakness for the enterprize, had
offered to support France, if thought necessary, with
a force of 400,000 men. Mr. Canning, it is added,
was so indignant at this want of frankness, at the time
when the offer of England's mediation was under con-
sideration, that he dispatched a Messenger to over-
take Lord Fitzroy Somerset, who had just quitted
London, with instructions to him, immediately on Iris
arrival at Madrid, to prepare the basis of a treaty of
alliance, offensive and defensive, between Spain and i
England, to be acted on in the event of a declaration
of was by France against Spain.

LORD COCHRANE.

PLYMOUTH, SEPTEMBER 13.—Extract of a letter re-
ceived in this town from an officer in the Navy, dated
Bahia, August 2.—" In our way from Rio here we fell
in with Lord CocirRANE'S squadron, the Don Pe& o, 8Q
suns, Maria de Gloria frigate, and ten smaller vessels,
principally manned with British seamen. Upon ow
anchoring here, we found the Portuguese had embarked
to a man ; and etpected, from their force and number
(the whole consisting of 90 sail, including merchant
ships, and about five thousand troops) that they might
bid defiance to Lord COCHRANE'S squadron, but in
which we were deceived, as his Lordship had already
taken and sent in thirty vessels and about 1200 troops,
and was determined to follow the remainder to the
mouth of the Tagus, s'aould he not previously capture
the line-of-battle ship and frigates. On the squadron
leaving Bahia, the Imperial flag was immediately
hoisted, under hearty cheers ; all the guns being dis-
abled, prevented their firing a salute—this, however,
took place two days after ; and our own respectable
British force, viz. CREOLE, DORIS, BRITON, and TAR..
TAR frigates, also saluted the new flai, which gave the
greatest satisfaction to the Brazilians. —PiiintouthJour.

The Government had ordered the arrest and banish-
vent, to the Canary Islands, of twelve iniflividuals who
are not men of much political celebrity.

A sudden depression 7=an one per cent. took
place in the price of French stock at Paris on Tuesday,
which has given rise to various reports relative to the
situation of the French army in Spain, of a very un-
favourable nature. The greater part of those in circu-
lation yesterday were equally destitute of truth and pro-
bability. That which appears best entitled to attention,
though it cannot be given as certain, is an account of
the rupture of the negotiations before Cadiz, which
reached Paris on Tuesday afternoon, and which in-
luced some very large sales of stock by eminent
capitalists there. It is said, indeed, that the Governor
of Cadiz never entertained any serious disposition to
negotiate, but that he had sent the flag of truce to the
French head-quarters, and allowed the Doke de Guiche
an interview with the King, solely with the view of
e gaining time, partly to render more complete the de-
i fences of the city, but principally that he might remove
i' to a distant part of Cadiz a large magazine of gun-
powder, which, since the French had taken the TIOC4
dero, was exposed to the shot fired from its batteries:
.., such was the account received in Paris on Tuesday

PARTRIDGE SHOOTING.

A match, nn which heavy bets were pending. took plant es Tues-
day and Wednesday, between Messrs. Hancock, horn Hertford-
.shire, and Beaumont from Suffolk. The match was who should
kill most partridges only, in two days; Mr. Hancock to sport in
Suffolk, and his adversary in Hertfordshire. As first-rate shots
much Interest was elicited, and each was accompanied by the friend
of his adversary. The parties met at Holt, on the borders of the
counties yesterday morning, and produced as follows :—Mr. Han-
cock bagged on the first day, 14 brace, shooting to twe dogs; and
oo the second day he killed 12 brace and a half—total 261 brace.—
Mr. Beaumont killed 15 brace the first day, and on the second 91
241. Dlr. Hancock shot from the neighbourhood of Bury
St. Edmund's, on the Newmarket road, towards Great Yeldham;
and Dlr. Beaumont began at Wade's Mill, keeping to the right of
the road towards Enheld. Both found plenty of birds, but they
were shy. The match was for 20 sovereigns aside, and eight hours
each day was the time allowed.

THE ENVIRONS OF SEU, SEPT. 21.

Three batteries are about being established, to batter
the fort of Urgel. Within these few days the fire from
the fort has slackened. This evening a report prevailed
that some more troops had left Barcelona, with an in-
Itention to penetrate into Upper Catalonia.

FROM TIIE C4_I.7IIIER FRANCAISE. ,•
The Journal of Toulouse publishes the following details

PERPIGN A N.

. "The Constitutional division landed with four packets
of cartridges a man. On the 15 h it had traversed the
country between Monga as far as Llado, near Figueras.
General Llamas, notwithstanding his ill health, took
active measures. Orders were given to the inhabitants
of Gironne, and the other towns, to take arms, under
pain of the severest penalties. This General had already
taken a position at Llado on the 15th. General Nisolase,
who commanded the detached troops blockading Barce-
lona, arrived on the 15th, at six o'clock in the evening,
at Besalu. lie marched a part of his troops to Campre-
den, another to Ripon, and a third to Barejoda, to cut
off all retreat from the Constitutionalists. The firing
commenced in the afternoon at Llado. The affair was
extremely sanguinary. The enemy fought with incre-
dible fury, especially the foreign legion. The action
lasted till the commencement of night. The next day
they wished to continue their march to Figueras. If they
had not lo,t this night in taking a position, it is suffici-
ently probable that they would have effected an entry. A
still shar per action took place in the environs of Llers, dis-
tant three quarters of an hour's march from Figueras.
The carnage on Loth sides was horrible; but at length
the ammunition being expended, and the Constitution-.
alists exhausted with hunger, Colonel Fernandez de-
manded a parley. A capitulation was concluded, in*
which it was agreed to save the lives of the foreign pri-
soners who formed part of the Constitutional column.—
Many French officers, not expecting this clause, de-
stroyed themselves, some with rams, and others with
their swords and pistols.
" The greater part of the foreign battalion perished
in this affair ; and almost all the superior officers of the
column, Spaniards as well as foreigners, are killed or
grounded. The garrison of the fort of Figueras made'
n° sortie to assist them, nor did it'make any attempt to
Iget possession of the provisions of the town of Figueras,
'while the troops which. formed the garrison were with
General llamas. It is said that the Spaniards, on the

16th, did not second the efforts of the foreign soldiers,
who fought with desperation."

This morning we received a Brazil Mail with Papers
to the 6th of August. The following are extracts :
