The defendants appeared to receive judgment for an
aggravated assault on Lieut. Ward, and one of his men
named Thorn, who were on the Preventive Service near
Bognor in Sussex. The defendants came down with
sucks, and attacked the Officer and Thom in the most
cow.trdly manner, there being between silty and eighty
to two persons.
The Court sentenced Dorset to be imprisoned one year
in Petworth Gaol, and Sadler ten months. They were
also ordered to find sureties for three years, themselves
in 201. and two others in 101. each.

John Howell, a Welch exciseman, received judg-
ment, having been found guilty of taking from certain
publicans, more for the amount of duties than he was
intilled to take. The difference he put into his own
pocket. He was sentenced to be imprisoned one year
in the gaol of Merionetb.

Mr. GURNEY moved for the judgment of the Court
on the defendant, found guilty of publishing a libel.—
It did not appear he was then in attendance, and the
judgment stood over.

THE 111141 V.

Mr. GURNEY shev,e..l cause against a rule obtained
by Mr. Bligh, calling on Lord Darnley and Lold Clif-
ton to shew cause why he should not be discharged out
of custody upon execution for his forfeited recogni-
zances. The applicant bad been discharged as to all
his other debts by the Insolvent Debtors' Court, but

being a Crown debtor, with respect to his recognizances,
this Court' only could discharge him. Mr. Gurney now
opposed the discharge of Mr. Blight on the ground that
there would be no safety for Lord DArnley and his

family if that Gentleman was liberated.
The Cower could not discharge him from the judg-
ment upon which he was held ; but, willing to do all
they coull do, said he *should be restored to the Rules
of the King's Beach, upon giving proper security.
tlizabeth Goram, convicted of having assaulted a
female, who was about to give evidence before the Ma-
gistrates in Hastings, on an informations against the
prisoner's husband for selling spirits without license,
was brought up for judgment.
An affidavit was put in on her behalf by her husband,
stating that she had a family of young children, and
that he would willingly pay any sum not above 101.
rather than she should be imprisoned.
The Court sentenced her to be imprisoned one year in Hastings
Jail.

. Mr. Sergeant TADDY stated, that this was an action
.for a breach of promise of marriage, brought by the
plaintiff, who had lived in the defendant's house as ser-
•ant. The damages were laid at 2,0001. The following
are the circumstances of the case, as they were stated by
, the Leurved Sergeant.
On the 4th of June, 1825, the defendant had the mis-
fortune to lose his wife. The plaintiff had lived in his
house some time previous to this event, and bad main-
, tainect an unblemished character. Not long afterwards,
however, the defendant began to pay improper atten-
tions to her, which from her situation he had perpetual
opportunities cf d ,ing ; and At length succeeded in
depriving her of that virtue which is the only wealth
of persons in her situation. Previous to this he bad
mule many and frequent promises of marriage.—
lie, however, expressed a wish to take lodgings for her
• out of his own house, saying his son was coming to
town, and made further excuses to procrastinate the
marriage, on account of his father, who he feared would
be displeased at it. Still assuring her that he would
certainly marry her, lodgings were actor diogly taken
'at a Mrs. Cartley's, Circus-street, Regent's Park, and it
was agreed that plaintiff shout.] remain thereunder the
,protection of Mrs. Cartley. While she was at this house,
.one of her relatives, a Mrs. Hood, called on her, and
discovered her to be in a state of pregnancy, when she
deManded an .explanwion of the affair ? The poor girl
then stated the pronli-es that had been made to her by
the defendant, w ho happened at that instar t to come in
to see her. He then, in presence of Mrs. 110,14 repeate..

and became heavy, when Consols were done at 831 for the Ac.

town from Saturday until Monday; also that he would not open
the Parliament in person. This manoeuvre of the Deem only suc-

Lisbon Papers to the 4th inclusive have been re-

LISBON, Ocr. 50, 51—Nov. I.

The Gazettes of these three d ►7s contain the accounts
of the opening of the Cortes, and the proceedings of
the two Chambers oa the first day of their sittings, as
well ■s the letter from Count d'Alva, announcing the
flight of the Rebels into Spain.
Nov. 2.—On the 1 t of this month B iron de Palenca
hid an audience of the Minister for Foreign Affairs,
Don F. d'Alrneida, to present his new credentials con.
tinning him in the character of Charge d'Affaires of
Russia to the Court of Pottugal.

szttirro CIF THE CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, Nov. 2.

In going through the preliminary forms of examining
the validity of the returns, a doubt was proposed
respecting Senhor Joao Jose de Silveira Aquira, be-
cause he had the same number of votes as another per-
son in the province of Minho ; it was decided that he
was to be considered as the member electeJt because
he was some years older than the other.

Senhor Joaquim Antonio de Magalhaes proposed a
question to the following effect:—As by article 3S of
the Charter, members of either Chamber may be ap-
pointed Ministers of State, and though Peers retain their
seats, Deputies must in such a case vacate theirs, but
may be re-elected; and there being in the Chamber,
some persons who are Ministers as well as Deputies,
should not this point be decided upon, betme the Cham-
ber chooses the Deputies to he presented to the Princess
Regent, as candidates for the office of President ? Some
discussion arose on this subject. Seohor Cardeiro said,
that all the present Ministers were such previous to their
election as Deputies, consequently there could be no
doubt respecting the validity of their election : the
Minister of Justice alone, had been appointed since his
election, but he was only appointed ad interim, and
therefore comprehended in the 33d article, which allows
Deputies to be appointed to any commission when the
public service requires. •

_ .
Atter some debate on the mode of choosing five can-
didates for the office of President, and of five of those
for that of Vice-President, the former five were named.
The nomination of the others were deferred, on account
of the lateness of the hour.

Nov. 4.—Dispatches from the Minister of War an.
nounce his arrival at Olhao and Faro ; he speaks in high
terms of the inhabitants of Algarve, and declares that
having visited many parts, and made some stay in the
towns, he thinks himself authorised to assert, that the
rebellion of Tavira was wholly military ; and aided by
some Magistrates and other public Officers, most of the.
natives of other Provinces, and that there were not
twenty Algarvians, not public Officers, whe were im-
plicated in the rebellion : he especially commends the
Clergy, and highly praises the conduct of his troops.
The Sitting of the Chamber of Peers on the 3d, was
employed in preliminary matters; in the course of which,
a debate arose whether the Ministers should be called
or invited to the present Sitting : the latter was decided
upon, and, as soon as the Ministers had entered, the
Conde de Linhares made a long speech against them,
saying, 18 They want to impose on the Chamber regu-
lations for its proceedings which, under the appearance
of order and regularity, may, in reality, have a very
different object, viz. to deprive the Chamber of its li-
berty, and establish some precedents which may be
convenient on future occasions, to a Ministry desirous
of coveriog itself with a veil, by means of secret sittings.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs said he should not
reply to the abuse with which the Noble Peer had
thought fit to load a Ministry which had laboured so
incessantly for these three months, but confine himself
to the first phrase, that the Ministry wished to impose
regulations on the Chamber of Peers, which is abso-
lutely false, as, when prevented, it was said to be provi-
sional ; and as according to Article 90 of the Charter,
the Government could not do otherwise than present
such regulations to the Chambers, he does not see who
should draw them op if the Government did not. The
Count de Linhares chiefly objected that the regulations
were presented with a decree signed by the Regent, so
that it seemed the Chamber must obey, or say that the
decree was illegal. The Marquis de Alegrete and the
Minister of the Interior spoke in favour of the mode
which had been adopted. (The remainder of the Sitting
to be inserted in the next No. of the Gazette.)
The Chamber of Deputies chose, on the 3d, five Members, to be
presented to the Princess Regent for her to select a President.

Lord Beresford arrived in the Forte frigate on Wed-
nesday last. His arrival caused much surprise, as very
few peisans had any previous intimation of it. His re-
ception at Court was extremely flattering. The Queen's
name-day (St. Carlos) has been kept to-day, and her
Majesty has held a Court at Quelas on the occasion.

BERLIN, Novawsse. 7.

His Majesty's sons, Prince William and Charles, are
gone to Weimar, where, it is said, they will pass some
time. Some very agrdeable reports are supposed to be
connected with this journey.

STOCKHOLM, Novtuisa 3.

A treaty regulating the commercial relations be-
tween Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, has just been
signed. It is founded on the most liberal principles,
and secures the subjects of all the three, all the privi-
leges which the most favoured nations enjoy. His
Nlajesty has permitted the importation of foreign Rye,
on payment of a duty of two rix dollars banco per too,
but only in the ports of the Government of Bohm and
Halland.

We have received the Etoik of Tuesday and Wed-
nesday. The latter gives intelligence from Lisbon to
the 3d instant, which continues to be of a highly fa-
vourable nature. At the close of the first Sitting of the
Chambers, and after the opening of the Session had been
formally proclaimed, the eresident of the Chamber of
Peers approached the throne, and presenting an open
missal to the Pusxcess ItiO2NT, administered to her the
oath ordered by the Constitutional Charter, which she
took aloud, the whole Assembly standing up. The Peers
and the Commoners then separated, and held their first
individual Sittings on the la instant, at their respective
Palacef. In the Chamber of Peers, the Duke of CA-
DAVAL; Pre,ident, proposed the following formula of an
oath, which was adopted, and the oath afterwards taken :
" I swear on the Holy Gospels, to discharge faithfully the ohll.
gations of Peer of the Realm; to maintain the Catholic Apostolic,
and Roman Religion, and the integrity of the Kingdom; to
observe, and cause to be observed as far as it Is in my power, the
Constitutional Charter of the 29th of April, 1826; to be faithful to

'the Xing and, to tlia Country ; and to promote the general welfare
of the nation."

The Chamber of Deputies had also a meeting the
same day, but postponed the election of a President or
Speaker till the day after. The intelligence From the seat
of the late insurrection was very gratifying. The Count
d'ALYA had established his headquarters at Tavita.
which was just before the chief hold of the Rebels,
and there he had been joined by the other Consti-
tutional troops. The principal movers of the insurrec-
tion had been atrested, and were going to be given up
to the severity of the laws. Amongst those who had
esca, ed into Spain was the Governor of Villa Real, who
had previously caused all the artillery of that place to
be spiked. All the Portuguese Refugees in Spain bad
been sent to a distance in Andalusi 4.

The accounts front Paris speak of a political son.
vends° agreed on between Mr. Cammin and Fitter.; also that
the activity in the Diplomatic Cabinet of France since the depar-
ture of Mr. Cayman. is greatly increased. Couriers arrive and
depart daily at the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

RETRACT OF A LETTER •ROM LEOHORN.
The most recent news from Napoli states that the Greek squadron
is cruising on the coast of Minor Asia, to prevent the attacks of
the enemy's Beet on the Island of Samos, which at present is well
organized ; and in case of danger, can bring against the enemy
from 12,000 to 13,000 men, who have sworn to die before they
abandon their posts.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

Consols, which went down to 83j for the Account in the earlier
part of the morning, with a hß.ji market, have, within this how,
improved, and may be quoted up to the present time at 8:11 buyers
for the Account; and 831 for next Account, with a good deal of
business doing. This reaction' may be attributed to the French
Rentes coming higher, Five per Cents. 100 f. 10c. Three per Cent..
Rentes 71f. 60c. Private accounts received this morning from Pa.
ris state, that Vzrzake is going to put his financial project into exe-
cution, by paying off the Five per Cents. with the Sinking Feed ;
he is also making an arrangement with the Emigrants so pay them.
In the Foreign Market there is not much doing, and all South
American Securities remain steady.
