from Officers to the Head of the Department, and has

lished a pamphlet of the proceedings, before such pub-
lication was authorised by the Executive—ha given to

NEW YORK, JULY Is.

'MARTON! ON ONSZNAL LA /AMTS.

General La Fayette left this city yesterday morning.
Agreeably to orders, the troops of the first brigade of
Artillery doing duty with muskets, about 800 in num-
ber, formed in line in front of General La Fayette 's
quarters, at six o'clock, and under the command of
Colonel Muir. Between sir: and seven o'clock, the Ge-
neral presented himself at the door, when he was sa-
luted by the troops. The line then wheeled into open
columns, and proceeded np Broadway and down Bar-
clay-street to the Hoboken-ferry, the General in his
carriage, 'attended by the Mayor and the Recorder,
I with the Committee of Arrangements; and several of the
members of the Common Council, with Generals Mor-
ton and Benedict and their suites, followed in carriages.
On thi arrival of the troops at the ferry, they were
halted and formed into line. The General descended
from his carriage, and, followed by the Gentlemen'who
had attended him, went down the line and was saluted.
He was, at his particular request, introduced to each
Officer as he passed, and taking them affectionately by
the hand, bade them farewell. Upon his entering the
landing-placeof the ferry, crowds of individuals pressed
forward to take once more by the hand the man who
had long been the object of their affectionate regard;
and the affection displayed on the occasion made it a
scene solemn and interesting, and one which will long
be remembered by those who Witnessed it. The Gene-
ral
and the Gentlemen who attended him entered the
steam-boat, and on leaving the wharf a salute was fired
from the battalion of artillery.
Thus, fur the present, has terminated the visit to us
f the illustrious guest who was -endeared to us by the
devotion of his youth and his fortune to our country, in
the hour of her adversity ; a visit unparalleled in his-
, tory ; honourable to the gratitude of the country which
gave the invitation, as well as to the individual to whom
it u as given. Nor wilt it, in our opinion, be without _a
moral use in the world. It will teach to succeeding
times the fallacy of the remark, that virtue is. but
a name (as in a moment of despondency was declared
by Brutus), but that it has an intrinsic worth,.and will
be bade sacred by a nation's gratitude and a people's
lose.—lt war noticed as a circumstance honourable to
;the feelings of our citizens and to their just views of
1 propriety, that, though an immense concourse of per-
, sons were present at the General's departure, and though
;upon all former occasions they had been accustomed
ito greet him with loud and hearty cheers, yet on the
I present occasion a profound and solemn silence prevailed.
Jor.r I9.—Letters from the Pacific announce thAt the

island of Chiloe stiltadhaes to Spain. The Governtitent
of Chili, has invited that province to attach itself to'the
Republic ; but the Governor, in reply, says he havcom-
municated the invitation to the people, and taken their
sense upon it, and they have determined to adhere to
Spain. The Atchipelago of Chaos is a cluster of islands,
in a large gulf or bay at the south extremity of Chili.—
It consists of $7 islands, 52 of which are inhabited.—.
Chi:ce, the principal island, is between' lat. 42 deg. 1$
min. and 43 deg. 47 min. S.and is about 120,miles long.
It is separated from the main land by a channel little
more than a mile wide.

LAW REPORT.

COURT OF CHANCERY, AUGUST 16.
£M[TII V. SHARPS.
This was an application on behalf of the defendant,
to be discharged from prison, having been committed
to the Fleet for contempt in disobeying an order of the
Vice-Chancellor, which directed him to pay into Court
the purchase-money of in estate which he hid con-
tracted to take; and of which he had received pot-
session since./81,5; bat he disputed the validity of the
•
title, and now sought to be I relieved from the pet. -
formance of his contract.

The. LORD CRANCELLOR observed, that whatever
grounds the. defendant might have to apply 'for a dis-
charge hereafter, he had clearly none now. He could
not miter A person to enter into a contract in 1815, and
retain possession of the estate, receiving rents and pro-
fits, without qu ,rrelling with the title, till 1822. The
deft ndaut had been for ten years in the full enjoy•
meat of the estate, and gave no information as to what
be had derived from it. If Mr. Hart (the defendant's
Counsel) would procure an affidavit, stating the amount
of the profits obtained from the estate since it came
into the defendant's possession, and after handing it to
the other party, would deliver it to his Lordship any
day, he would reconsider the application.
IN RD WOOLICR, A LUNATIC.
Mr. Wirlasasai applied to the Court for leave to have a Com-
mission of Lonny issued by his Lordship in this case executed
at Newcastle.—The Cocas granted the order.
REV. A. FLETCHER O. MARGARET M`MITRDOCR, True

SHERIFFS OV LoNDON, AND OTHERS.
Mr. HART said he was instructed to make a motion
n this case for an injunction, upon the filing of a bill,
to restrain the defendants from turning . the pleintiff
out of the possession of a house, upon what was at-
leged to be a collusive judgment suffered by the
defendants.
Mr. Somme now rose, and said be appeared for the defendants,
and would undertake to slim cause agaust this motion to-morrow
morning.
Mr. HART then thought it would be better for his
Learned Friend to shew cause on Thursday morning,
for which purpose he would consent to its standing over
till then, upon condkinn of being furnished with a copy
of Mr. Sugden's affidavits in the course of to-morrow,
and also upon condition of the defendants not turning
the plaintiff out in the me intime.
Swarm assented topthia.
1.1 TUitt.tvalliVa OV WADE, A EANERUPT..
Mr. AGA& reminded his Lordship that this petition
Stood over for the purpose of giving time to tile aff.-
davits relative to the sale of certain propeity belonging
to the bankrupt. This, it would be remembered,' was
the bankruptcy in which improper conduct was charged
egainst the solicitors,_ Messrs. Rabbit and Mahew, and
where the daughters- of the bankrupt had been strongly
urged to surrender the small property remaining in
their hands. The 'Learned Counsel stated; that these
affidsisits hid now bees filed,. and it appeared that the
estate: sold since the presentatiOn of the- petition had
produced the sum of. 6801. .and that those. sold pre.
viously bad Amounted to 5551. making. in the whole
12351. There were, besides, Sales to the amount of
WOOL not completed. The principal estate, called
Benhall, bad been let to a Gentleman for seven years,
at a rental of 4301. per annum.
HARPUR, IN THE MATTER 01 MARSH AND

Co. RANKRUPTs.
Mr. HART said, there was a petition presented in this
matter by a person of the name of Harpur ; all the
Coun.el were ready in it, but they had agreed, with
his Lordship's permission, that it should not come on
till after the vacation.
Leave given to have it brought on the nest petition day.
EX-PARTR GLOSSOP IN THE MATTER OR KIK!, A

BANKRUPT.
In this case a petition was presented to the Court on
behalf of the assignees, praying that the bankrupt might
be restrained by its Order from proceeding at law in an
action to try the validity of the commission taken out
against him: It appears that in 1814 a commission
had been taken out against Mr. Kemp, and at that
time he had sworn that his property amounted to
80,0001. after paying 20s. in tte pound, yet he had
been stripped of all power over that property, kept
four years in close confinement in prison by a proceed.
ing under the bankruptcy ; and that it was not unt
February last that he found he had sufficient evidence
to upset the commission. He was therefore desirous of
trying the validity of the commission.
The Loan CitAuczuna having heard Counsel on both sides,
dismissed the assignees' application, with costs.
VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, AUGUST 16.
xa-i.artvi NASH AND OTRaRS IN TIIR HATTER Cl
HARM, STNACRT AND CO.
This was a case involving a question of account, and
as to the rigbt of Mr. Nash to set off a joint account
and a separate account, against a claim set up by the
estate of Marsh, Stracey, and Co.
Mr. MONTAGU, for the estate, prayed that the
Court would grant time to the assighees4sOnquir4 into
the circumstances of the case, and when theist ineiri4iei
were made, perhaps the Court might be spared? any
further trouble. The difficulty of obtainiog informs':
tion by the assignees was very great, in'cansequence pf
the wholeafrair having been entirely managed by 01.4
lase Mr. Fauntleroy. Mr. Montagu contended, `tbai
in no case, except where fraud was establiihea * jOirit
and a separate demand were allowed to be setoff •to a
single claim.
The Counsel for the petitioner contended, that it was or series
importance to•bir.' Nash that tins matter abould be at on* put ot
rest, as it involved property. to a considerable amount.
After some discussion, the Vtca•Cuaecettos directed the :Jut
to stand over until the zezt day of petitions.

The depression of the new Fiench 8 \per Cents. which
were at one time nearly as low as 71, but are now sai4
to have recovered to 73, seems to have created a strong
sensation both at Paris and in this country. The re-
cent conversion is termed so complete a failure, that it
has been conjectured M. DE VILLELE must, to avoid
the storm, retire from the Ministry : a pretended list of
a new Administration has even been published.
We tee nothing extraordinary in the momentary de-
pression of the New Stock, taking into view the ad-
verse circumstances under which it was created, and
to which we referred in our Journal of the 10th inst.
Nor can we term that a failure, which, under all those
disadvantages, has effected a reduction of interest to the
extent of one per cent. on a fifth part of the whole Na-
tional Debt of France, and an immediate and direct
saving of 245,5061.• sterling per annum. It has been
supposed here, as in France, that the emigrants
who are about to be indemnified by a new creation
of three per cent. stock, have already, to relieve
their distresses, carried this intended stock into the
market, and that this sale has depressed the newly
converted stock. But this is an evident fallacy.—
The emigrants have not as yet received any defini,e
tide to their stock. That stock does not exist either as
scrip. (minium, or in any other shape conferring a right
to dispose of it, and it cannot, therefore, have been
saleable. But the certainty that it is to be created, and
when created, that it will be poured into the market
immediately, to raise money on any terms, cannot fail,
as we before observed, to prevent the investment of
money, at the present moment, in the new reduced
sti.ck, inasmuch as the emigrant stock will, in all
probability, yield a better income. The approaching
tenders for the new 4k per Cent. stock, on the 22d of
September, is 'mother most efficient cause for the tem-
porary depression of the 3 per Cent. stock.
Individuals who are prepared to invest money, have
a certainty of a better income in the forthcoming 4 per
Cents. guaranteed to them for ten years, which they
will naturally prefer. But in all human probability,
and notwithstanding those tenfporary impediments in
the way of the new 3 per Cents. they will rise in value
kitvery short time, simply from the powerful opera-
ibtfilifh the French Sinking Fund. If no conversion had
then isl4ce at all, the whole unredeemed Debt of

awe now reinforced, lien, by a, great surplus of revenue;

by the saving lately Wetted in the conversion, as far as
it has gone, and those means are idtpaired only by the
