BRUSSELS PAPERS.

_

BRUSSELS, Arm. 5.
We have received a file of Batavia Journals, but the
des are preceding the 15th of November, to which
time we lately gave some news from Java. The fire at
Breitenzorg reduced to ashes 154 houses, by which 700
individuals are destitute of habitations. Rice is dii
tributed to them Witty iliy.

By a decision of his Excellency the Commissioner-
General, dated 30th of October, at Galatiga, the de.
ductions from the pay of the Officers of the army in
our East India possessions, for the fund of the widows
and children of the Officers, have' been increased in
amount.

We lately mentioned that a mountain near Oude-
narde had sunk down. It appears that this sinking took
place to an extent of 250 metres in length by 134 in
breadth, at the distance of 65 ells from the Citadel.
The fortifications have not =stained any injury., The
engineers who have been to Oudenarde to examine, the
spot, were informed that on the 21st of last month a
shepherd who was at the foot of the mountain with his,
flock, at seven o'clock in the evening, perceived an ex-
traordinary motion. It was at eight o'clock that the
ground sunk about three ells to an extent of about 140
in circumference, which has produced a kind of mire.
This event appears to have some connection with the
two shocks of an earthquake which were felt on the
23d of February, and in the night of the 21st of March.
APRIL B.—The official Gazette contains his Majesty'.
Decrees, promulgating, Ist. The new law, which ex-
empts from the land tax for eight years, all houses and
other edifices entirely new, built on ground where for
at least three years before their erection no building
stood, as well as for those which are built in the place
0' others entirely destroyed by fire, inundations, and

other calamities. 2d. The law granting to the pried-
pal towns engaged in maritime commerce, liberty to
deposit in a general entrepot merchandize, to which this
Favour is allowed, and which is imported by tea, to be
re-ezported also by sea, free from duty.
FRANKFORT, Aram 3.
It has been reported on 'Change, that the Courts of
Munich and Vienna are going to strengthen the bonds
which unite them by an eventual Treaty of offensive
and defensive alliance. It is said that the Bavarian
army is to be raised to 40,000 men.

saties.

The Ahniteur of the 9th inst. contains a letter from
Z 'ate of the 16th of F. bruary, describing an interview
which took place on the Ist of that month, between Sir
FRED/a/CC ADAM, the Lord High Commissioner of the
lonian Islands, and IBRAHIM Nato. The subject of
their conference has not transpired, though, from the
critical posture of affairs, it no doubt related to arrange-
Mega of great consequence. If we can rely on the state-
ment of the military movements which are said to have
followed, it may be infected that the subject of nego-
ciation was the evacuation of the Motea.
Considerable activity seems to be exhibited in the
French ports, in preparing for the projected expedition
to Greece, or the coast of Africa.

A letter from Rio, via America, states that an cape•
&ion is fitting out at the Brazils to bombard Buenos
Ayres, and that several vessels intended for that purpose
are ready to sail.

Letters from Port au Prince of the 15th of February
state, that the. affairs in that island become every day
more critical in regard to commerce, caused by the
IItriCUIESS of the new Tariff on the duties, which prevents
i uportations from Europe.

Letters received this morning from Bourdeaux inform
ts, that 3,000 tons of shipping are wanting at Cadiz, to
go to the HavannAh.

Sydney and Hobart Town Papers to the 17th of
November have arrived. The black natives in the
colt y continued their outrages. and killed several in-
dividuals near Launceston. An Act had been passed
at Hobart Town, by which every Newspaper published
at Vim Diemen's Loold was to be duly licensed, such
licenses Avis ,enew able every year.
It is eery confidetuly reported, in the higher and
political circles in Paris, that the principal Allied
Powers have transmitted express instructions to their

WARI OE BISHOPS( ATE.

•
A Meeting of thelnbabitanta of thiao;e'Vard was
held yesterday in the School Room, in Peters-street, to
consider of the hest means of obtaining relief from the
monepoly of the supply of Gas in the Ward, whereby
they are subjected to much higher prices for their lights
than* the adjoining districts without the City.—Sir R.
C. GLYNN, the Aldetmen of the Ward, took the Ch4ir.
Mr. CORDELL then addre'sed the Meeting, and said.
he had a series of Resolutions to propose rilative to
the supply of gas to the Ward of Bish.tpsgate, and
in doing so he would detain them but a very short
time. I-Ic was himself not at all interested in the
matter, for he was not a consumer of gas, and in
bringing the matter forward for their coniidera:ion,
he wished it to be understood, that he imputed no
blame to- the Commissioners of Sewers, although
by the contract into which they .had entered with
the Chartered Gas Company, the Ward was now pay-
ing from 25 to 59 per cent. more than was paid for
gas by the neighbruring districts, and upon the whole
1.5001. per annum above what they could be supplied
for by the independent Gas Company, if the Commis-
sioners of the Sewers would give them leave to lay
down their pipes in the Ward. Whatever reasons the
Commissioners cf Sewers might have for continuing
the srlle supply to the Chartered Company, the In-
habit ints had certainly a right to complain when they
tou'-d themselves paying largely for that-which they
might have at a reduced rate. Mr. C. then read the
Re-uluti ms, which were to the following rffect:—

First, That it W3i the opinion of the Meeting, that the Mono-
poly in Gas was unjust and impolitic, fixing ask did an unnecessary
tax at .61,500 per annum upon the Inhabitants of the Ward of
Bisimpsgate.
Secondly, That it ought to be abolished, and that the, hihabitants
of the Ward ought to las +snowed to have their lights upon the same
terms as their neighbours; and
Thirdly, That a Petition shall he presented to the Court of Com-
mon Council, praying that the Independent Gas Company might
have leave to carry their pipes through the Ward.
Mr. A arrumma teconded the Resoiutions. He corn-
pl lined that the Coartered Company, in their proceed-
ings, were both oppressive and unjust; fps .in those
cases where Z tradesman was unfortunate in business,
ti.ey refused to come in with the rest of the creditors,
but insisted upon the full amount the same as a land-
lord. When the City formerly petitioned the C mmis-
sioners of Sewers upon the subject, a surveyor was ap
pointed to examine the matter, arid the petition was
rejected; but that Surveyor. was-himself one of the
Chartered Gas Company—(icar, hear)..

would expire at N.lidsum.tuer. He was,drimtelf a Com.

Three other Commissioners expressed themselves to
the same effect. •

The Petition, which was quite in accordance with
the Resolutions, was then agreed to, and thanks being
voted to S r R. C. Glynn for his conduct in the Chair,

His object was to ascertain bow this immense taxation of eight
millions a year affected the different classes of the community ; and
if it should appear that the Return as he had described it could not
be made up, he trusted some Noble Lord would bring in a short

render it practicable hereafter.—Ordered.

sive ; also of the amount coined during the same period; also of
the amount exported during the same period; also of the number

The Earl of LA UDERDA LW. said. that be had last year moved

Lord GODEILICH believed, there was some difference in the
two motions. His was for the amount imported, not into t►e
country, but into the Mint. The amount imported into the country
could not very easily be ascertained, as it was not subject to any

COURT OF CHANCERY, Arius Is.
This was the first Seal before Easter Term.
JUDOM EN T ONN OR V. MORTON.
The LORD CHANCILLOR, at the Sitting of the Court,
rave judgment upon this appeal. It appeared that in
1808, the husband of the plaintiff assigned certain pro-
perty to which his wife; upon a certain contingency,
would be entitled. The husband died in 1817, and, in
1624, the wife filed the present bill, to set aside the as-
signment, on the grounds that a husband had no right
to assign his wife's chose in action, which at the time of
the assignment was not reducible into possession. His
Honour:• decided in the Court below that the husband
had no such right as that exercised in the present
case, and made a decree in accordance with the prayer
of the bill.
The LORD CHANCELLOR affirmed the judgment of
the Court below, being of opinion that the husband had
no power to give effect to an assignment of this de-
scription, unless the peculiar circumstances of the case
enabled him to sue for or otherwise redeem the chose
its action into possession at the time of making the
assignment.

SURREY DISPENSARY.

The ftiends of this Institution celebrated their Anni-
versary yesterday at the City of London Tavern. Pm).
a A NCR Youwo, Esq. the treasurer (in the absence of Lord
Viscount M I DDLIITON, the President), in the Chair. The
object of this Institution, which has been established
upwards of half a century, is to administer advice and
medicines to the poor intiabitints of the Borough of
Southwark and places adjacent, at the Dispensary, or
at their own habitations. It appears that since the
establishment of the Charity upwards of 154,000
patients have been admitted, of whom 130,749 have
been cured, and 13,656 relieved. It was stated by Dr.
Whiting, one of the medical men, that the number of
depths has decreased during the past year, there having
been only one in one hundred, whereas formerly the
proportion was one to 30. This he attributed to the
imprbved state of medical science, which was diffusing
its benefits not only upon the objects of this institution,
but upon the country at large. Mr. Young, the
venerable Treasurer, who was among the projectors of
the Institution in the year 1777, in returning the conk
pany thanks for drinking his health, which they did with
great enthusiasm, eulogized the object of the amity.
and enlarged upon its great and increasing utility. He
hoped that every friend to the invalid poor woulJ sup-
port it. In the course of the evening numerous sub-
scriptions and donations were announced, amounting
altogether to between 5001. and 4001.

ARRIVAL OF THE GUARDS FROM PORTUGAL

The battalions of the Grenadier and 3d Regiment of Guards,
upon service in Lisbon, arrived yesterday in London. The Light-
ning and Meteor steamers took the troops on board in the Downs,
and sailed from Sheerness with the morning tide, having in tow
the tenders, with the ammunition, baggage, stores, &c. About
three o'clock tics smiciteig 13eititii,cp to, the moorings at the
Tower Wharf, and ttAir:liiiiital IMO received with loud cheers
by many an expectant group 'upon the shore. Part of the lst
Regiment landed at Deptford, from whence they marched to
the Knightsbridge Barracks. The Guards landed at four
o'clock, under the superintendence of their officers—the landing
had a very interesting appearance. The men were brought ashram
in lighters, in divisions of one hundred men, and after forming in
companies, marched into their quarters in the Tower. These
troops were generally surrounded by their wives and children, who
it wall be remembered, were not allowed to accompany them on
the expedition to Portugal, and the scenes of meetings, after such
a long absence, so suddenly caused, may he better imagined than
described. The artillery and waggon train land at Woalwich ; the
cavalry at Plymouth, Portsmouth, and Chatham; and the. Light
Infantry at various places upon the general route, to their usual de-
pots. The men looked well and healthy ;as may be supposed, their
countenances betrayed " the shadowy livery of the burnished sun."
WOOLWICH, APRIL 15.—Arrived yesterday noon, his Majesty's
ship Sarnarang, 2R, Captain D. Dona, to be paid off and recom-
missioned ; the Sophia transport, with Sir JOHN MAY and Staff,

expected here this day. Passed up the River, a large Detachment
of the Guards, iu a Government steam boat.

FROM THZ GAZITTS DR FRANCE, APRIL 14.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Mmicn 19.
The Pacha of Smyrna made a landing upon Sciti on
the 12th, and massacred all the Greeks who could not
escape by timely sight.
It is not known here what has become of Falsifier.
M. de Canitz arrived here on the 13th, and has caused
himself to be recognized by the Reis Effendi, as Extra-
ordinary Commissioner of the Court of Prussia. As
M. de Millitz ceased his functions immediately upon
his arrival, it is natural that there should be various
reports upon this subject. Some days previous, M. de
Milks and the Austisan Internuncio had sent a Tartar
to Smyrna to deliver to Admiral de Rigny the propo-
sals made to the Greeks by the Porte. Admiral de
Rigny appears to have sent them by an aviso to Malta
and to Corfu.

No change has taken place in the capital, though tall
the accounts from Russia are of a warlike nature, and
give reason to fear an attack upon the Bosphorus.
The Porte has received from Odessa certain information
that massy European vessels have been fieighted them
for the conveyance of troops and ammunition, and that
the contracts with the- captains contained a stipulation
that they may be employed by the Russians even in the
environs of Constantinople.

BUCHAREST, ?Luca 25.
Letters from Missa say, that a division of Turkish
troops coming from WidJin having attempted to enter
Servia, Prince Milosch had opposed the augmentation
of the Turkish garrisons in that country, and that his
remonstrances on this subject having proved ineffectual,
the Servians had revolted, and defeated the Tusks.—
Much blood was spilt on this occasion. It is said that
the Pacha of Widdin was killed on the field of battle,
and that Prince Milosch was wounded.

A letter from Spa of the 26th says, a disastrous event
has just occutred here: the side of the mountain of
Spaloumont, which .overlooks Spa on the north side, is
burst, and, since midnight. enormous masses of rock
have rolled down, which have already much inlaid
three houses. The noise of these masses in their fall
awakened all the inhabitants in the middle of the night:
The patrol went to'the Spot, and made all those persons
who Hired in the neighbour hood remove from their
houses. The inhabitants immediately.removed .their
effects to a place of security. No lives have been lost,
but the danger is still very great.
