being entrusted \ • property va.-
tanthorized.to appropriate, as be *mai for be-
nefit of his children, gave to OW of jbett, a daugh-
ter, who was on the earter, dea , ten thousand
• - -
ands, knowing that Ins *Wear would become
its own by the decease' di his child. , A Court of
Equity interfered in that case, and prevented him
:from making that disposition of his property, because
it was an aliose of the terms under which he, was al-
lciwed; as trustee, to appropriate it. The Court be-
low had decided, that all the flits were bad; but he
'was not aware, when the cast was first agitated be-
fore their Lordships, on what grounds they hadbuilt
their opinion ; and therefore he came to this conclu-
sion, that, before their Lordships proceeded any far-
r.ther, the whole of the circiunstances should be 'exa-
mined. Some of the Judges* in •the Court below
seemed to think that he had acted hastily in express-
sing his opinion of what the sentiments were on which
they had decided ; but he pever meant to do any
such thing. Much difference of opinion existed among
the Judges of the Court of Session on this subject.—
One of ?bent thought all the fens were good, eitcept
that of Pleurus ; he thought forty-seven acre; were not
enough to be attached to the mansion7hquse, and yres
desirous that a greaser quantity of land should' de-
scend with it. He could easily conceive why he
wished the mansionhonse to be surrounded by a
more ample domain, and why he opposed the vali-
dity of that particular feu; but he was quits igno-
rant of his reasons for supporting the legality of the
remainder.. Another of the Judges, Lord Meadow-
hank, whom he highly respected, was of opinion,
that the whole of the feus could not be held, but that
half of them might be sustained. Here he was ut-
terly at a loss to know why moiety of them ahotild
be allowed to stand. If the reduction were to be
made on the ground of norm, why should eight be
selected, in preference to a smaller or larger number?
And if eight were to be taken away, WHICH EIGHT
should they bet A great majority of the Judges of
the Court of Session had, however, decided, that the
feus were all bad—and that was the point' which it
was then necessary for their Lordships to decide.—
As, however, it would be. necessary to consider the
granting of these feus with reference to the law of
entail in Scotland at the time of the original charter,
to the statute of 1648, to the intent and object, and
to a variety of other collateral points, their Lord-
ships, he hoped, would not consider it unreasonable,
if he deferred delivering his opinion 'O6l Friday next,
when, if possible, he should submit it to them.

roPPER COIN,
It appearing that much misapprehension has taken
place with respect to the conversation which occurred
' in the House of Commons on the loth instant, on the
subject of the Copper Currency, we have thought it
material to enquire particularly as to what passedion
that occasion, with r. view of preventing those incon.
veniences which might arise from mistaking the in,
tentions of Government on this subject.
Mr. gpeNVELL having made some observations on
the inconvenienciec wick wire produced in the me-
tropolis from a redundancy pf Copper Coin, and espe.
cially from the introduction of a great number of
counterfeit halfpence, and local or private copper to.
kens, proceeded to state, that the subject had long
singe been represented to Government as requiring- a
remedy; and that he bad reason tG believe that some
proceeding would have taken place several years ago,
but from an apprehension of the expense whibh might
be incurred by Government in calling in and exchan-
ging the old legal Copper Coin; without doing which,
it appeared to be agreed that no effectual stop could
be put to the circulation of counterfeits—that the evils
were noiv-so greatly increased by the vast number of
private tokens lately introduced, that lie hoped the
consideration of the expense would no longer deter
the government from applying a remedy ; and he
desired to know from the CHANCELLOR or the Ex--
CHEQUER, whether any steps were likely to be speedily
taken on the subject ?
Mr. Vanstrrawr answered, that he had not much
to add to whg; he had soon after the meeting of Par.
Lament states!, in answer to a question of dieting")
nature, viz. that the subject had been long under the
consideration of the Privy Council—that he hoped
that their' proceedings would hp in sufficient forward-
, ness to enable him to submit a measure to the consi-
depition of Parliament - soon after the Christmas
'rfcess ; and that he ()mild assure the House that the
consideration of expense would not deter the Govern-
amm (whatever importance ought to attach, to public
'economy iq the present circumstances of the country)
from attempting to put a stop to practices which he
understood to be so injurious to the public—that the
juitice and good faith of- the Government were
pledged to a redemption of the legal Copper Coin at
its current rate, and that as soon as measures were
sufficiently prepared for that purpose, it might be
calle4 in and replaced by a new currency ; and that
he hoped the effect elf doing. so would be to stag the
circulation of any base and counterfeit coin,
It sweats. therefore, to be the intention of Go,
vernment that all legal Copper Coin shall be received
at itiftturrent value, and that consequently no person
can run any risk of loss by receiving it iarid it is to

In Wittenberg, the greatest want of every thing
prevailed ; and though some grain was still left, yet
they' had no mills to grind it. Some of the towns-
people used coffee-mills for that purpose. The
greatest want ,of firewood prevailed, and to supply
their necefsities, the garrison b3d pulled down tba
timbers of many houses.

considerable requisitions mad° within these few .days,

FROM THE BfiEMEA! G11ZE77.4,
• OF THE pTil OF NOVEWIEft. •

The following particulars have been communicated
to ui respecting the retreat of the french after the
battles of Leipsic ;
The nearer the flying French army approached'tlr
borders of Germany, the more unbridled became their
licentiousness, and the more was all cflicipline ne.
glected. There is no imaginable atrocity which they
did not perpetrate. No way marks are requisite in
order to and out the road from Leipsie to Frankfort.
—On both sides of chit line of blood, are lying in
mingled confusion, overturned waggons, all kinds of
clothing thrown away, the feathers of ripped up beds,
broken household furniture, fallen down horses, and
dead Frenchmen.
The most of the houses on this unfortunate moa4
were not only plundered of every thing, but robbed
of all their wood work, such • air doors, windows,
flooring, &c. which were broken up and burnt, so
that merely the shells remain to the lately comfort-
able inhabitants. • Others of them were berm to the
ground ; and the P.ne village of Ulster in particular
was laid completely in ashes. Such was die work
with which the Protector of the Confederation of
the Rhine signalised the last moment of his. pretence

question, of how he was? 9 Never worse," he frankly

plied Napoleon ; 44 no man cap prevent such little
disagreeables." Fie then asked after the cossacks,
with which the neighbourhood swarmed, and hear.
ing that they were very near, he ordered an imme,
diate deparci;re.
Napoleon ordered the before-mentioned village of
Ulster-Buttlar to be burnt, in order to retard his pur-
suers during part of a day. Behind-the village flows
the Ulster, which has a stone bridge over it. On
the right and left, the corps which were close upon
his heels,, could nut ford the deep stream, and it was
impossible for them to make their way through the
narrow streets of the burning village. By this atro-
