no such will discorered, she must have succeeded, as sole
next of kin, to the whole of the property. In it she de-
scribes her daughter as" Anna Selina Storace, spinsteCl
deceased"—as a person, therefsne. who had never been
married. Probate of the will being thus take with
the full concurrence of the only person who could call
this will in question, the executor proceeded to take
upon himself the administration of the property. The
5,0001. East India Stock was transferred by the former
trustees into the hands of the trustees under this: will;
for the benefit of Mrs. Storace, the mother, who re-
ceived the dividends upon it as long as she lived.—
She, herself, 'miter her r,wn hand. dress. out the list
the plate of which she was to have the use, doting
her life-time. The two thousand pounds which weie
given to Mr. John Braham were allowed to be trans-
ferred to Trustees, for the purpose of educating this
young man, Nlr. William Spencer Harris Bralsam. The
savin,s of Mrs. Elizabeth Storace, too, who seemed to
have been uniformly kind to that party, and on his ac-
count to have lived as frugally as possible, were devrited
to the same purpose. Mr. Borchelt had been evidently
roost kindly disposed towards him likewise. Mrs.
Elizabeth Sterace having made him, by her will, her
universal legatee, he in that character became, at l!er
death, I.er representative. It was as her repte.entative
t"at he now prayed the Court to revoke the probate
which it had granted to the will of 1797, upon the
ground that, at the time it was made, the Signora
Storace was under coverture, h tying been married, in
.e rear 1714, at the Evangelical Ilefoimed Church,
in Vi. nna, to a Dr. Fischer. Now the connexion
sel.ieh Storace formed with Mr. Braham, the singer,
commenced in 1796, and continued, without inter-
ruption, down to the year 1815, or thereabouts. With
Fischer she cohabited only twelve months, having
borne him a child, which died in a very short space
if time. In 1805, or 1807. Fischer was ascertained
to have come over first to England, and then to Ire-
land, where he supported himself by follow:tig the
profession of a music-master. In 1802, Mr. William
Braham, the party in this cause, was born. Of course a
very important feature in this matter, was the marriage
v. ith Dr. Fischer, and it remained to see what sort of
proof there was of its solidity. Mr. Michael Kelly was
the only witness present at the ceremony; but though
his aceisunt was an exceedingly fair one, it was deficient
in the most important particular. Indeed his " Remi-
niscences," in this instance at least, were not very vivid
—(A laugh.)—But there were various circumstances,
to say nothing of the laxity of morals of both the parties
to that man iage, which made the Court doubt very much
indeed whether it was really a valid marriage according
to the rites of the country. That it was but a mere cere-
mony, he was disposed to infer from the long subsisting
connexion between Signora Storace and Mr. Braham,—
from the disappearance of Fischer, and from the notoriety
of thecontiezion just named. As the Signora bad acqnired
a very large fortune, and Mr. Braham also, it was not to
be supposed that Fichte, if this had been really a valid
marriage, and such as would have afforded him any
legal remedy for the violation of his marital tights,
would have quietly acquiesced all these years in her
separation trom him, and her new connections with
mother individual, by whom she afterwards had several
children. -It was also to be remembered, that Mr.
William Spencer Braham could :requite no rights as
the of this Lady's mother, beyond those
which the mother herself possessed, while living; and
as she had co-operated in the administration of the pro-
perty under the will of 1797, and had in-her own affi
davit described her daughter to be a spinster, the case
set up in respect of Signora Storace's marriage with
Fischer fell to the ground, and her will, as that of a
femme sole, must be supported. The Learned Judge,
after complimenting Mr. Borchelt on the honourable
way in which he had discharged all the trusts of the
and had completed his administration, two years
ago, by paying over the whole balance of the property
into the hands of the Accountant General of the Court
ff. Chancery, rejected tVilliam Spencer Braham's Peti-
tion, and condemned him in all costs except those occa-
sioned by the first application to this Court on his behalf.
The property in question is said to be of consider able amount.

A letter Irmo Constantino! k, brought by the last mail, uya that
Admiral Risny had been to Uri'', and exacted the payment ofj

10,000 colonnatts, for damages done by the Gr,,tl:l to merchant-
men of his nation. He entered the, port o(liydra with four Greek

A Captain who has arrived here from Napoli, brings word that
On the day after his departure several Greek vessels were to sail
front that Port, with orders from the Govetaftient to detain and
bring into Napoli all vessels laden with corn that they may meet
with, for the purpose of supplying that place, which it was feared
would be soon closely blockaded.

The French Papers of Monday and Tuesday have
reached us. They contain a letter from the Greek
,Archbishop IGNATIUS to Mr. ETNARD, confirming the
previous account of the occupation of Tripolizza by the
Greeks. That place was recovered by the gallant
NicerAs, on the 15th of May, three weeks after the
fall of Missololghi. The pleasing intelligence is also
conveyed by the worthy Archbishop—that 700 women
and children had succeeded in effecting their escape
with the portion of the garrison of Missolonghi which
had cut its way through the enemy; they were all
safely arrived at the camp at Cravari. The captives
sent to be sold at Arta and Pi eve.a did not exceed 1000.
