WAITS OP RIGHT.

Mr. SHADWELL rose for the purpose of moving
for leave to bring in a Bill, the object of which war to
limit the time within which a Writ of Right 'might be
brought. He did not mean to take credit to himself as
the author of the Bill, Lord Kenyon having in 1783
framed clauses embracing the same principle, but which
clauses were rejected in a Committee of the whole.
House. The Hon. Gent. hoped, however, now when
there existed not such a stiff adherence to what was
merely old, that he should be more successful than was
his Lordship. It had been decided in Cholmondeley's
case, that no suit could be maintained for the recovery
of land after the title had accrued 20 years, he should
propose in his Bill that an adverse party must proceed
within thirty years. As the law at present stood, a
person having no title, merely for purposes of vexation,
might bring his writ of right, and finally not even pay
the costs of the suit : this he proposed altering. Again,
though a person had been in-possession 59 years, he
might he called upon, first, to ,hew his claim, notwithstanding he
might be considered prima facie entitled frost the facts, to possession.
He should also propose to remedy the roundabout way, in which
irwas necessary to proceed to debar dower. The Hon. Gentleman
then moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the limitation of writs
of right, and to amend the law in respect to dower.
Mr. LOCKHART approved of the Bill as far as it
went, but thought it too confined. In his opinion, the
whole law relative to the transfer of landed property
ought to be amended. If an individual, should the Bill
pass, produce a title 30 years old, he did not think that
any Conveyancer, nor the Master in Chancety,would say
that it was good, because it might inclose an anterior
title—an accruing right might spring up 100 years old. So defec-
tive was the law in this respect, that out of every ten good titles,
he did cot think more than one would be found saleable.
Mr. BATLEY supported the motion.
Mr. 1). %V. HARVEY thought the Bill too contracted in its
nature, and said he should move for a Committee to inquire into
the law relating to the transfer of landed property.
Mr. HUME thought the law should apply to tithes,
the title to which was frequently 450 years old—from
the time of Richard 11. The law of Scotland relating

to the transfer of landed property was so simple
was worth three, four, sod lee years more purchase than
Ragland. He thought the Hem limber had better more
Committee on the subject.

r It is with much concern we state, that the report
Mr. Secretary CANNING'S health was less favoprable
yesterday. Up to that time, he bad been mending
and on Monday he received a dispatch from
LtsrearooL, which he examined, and returned b:
messenger; but yesterday morning, although MI
cretary CANNING had passed a good night, he
reported to be, worse. Sir MATTHEW 'FISHNET
Mr. lloaxars are in constant attendance.—Brii
Gazette, Febritaryls.
The letters received in Downing street to-day,
that the pain of which Mr. Secretary Cavarso
plained yesterday, was happily removed by an al
cation of the vapour bath. At the Stock Fachaage,
latest accounts say that he is considerably better.

The Paris Paper s, u hid§ arrived last night, inclu.
the Eloik of Tuesday, contain advice' from Mad
the 4th, and from Lisbon to the 28th, both of w)
present as favourable a view of the relations between
these twb Courts, as could be expected. As there
no particular allusion to the state of the Portug•
capital, it is to be presumed that everything was
fectly tranquil there at that date. From the silence
which is observed respecting the rebels, it may be
sonably inferred, that they were considered extinct
a body, though they might still, in small detachment:
furnish some occupation to the troops employed ag•-•
them. The measures adopted and enforced by the
nish Authorities have probably contributbd to prevent
flame of rebellion from becoming wholly extinct, them
in the end they must prove eminently conducive
complete re-establishment of public tranquillity.
now placed beyond any doubt, that between the pr
sions and proceedings of the Spanish Government r
is an entire uniformity, as the rebels are instantly,
without any distinction of persons, stopped and
armed as soon as they pass the frontiers, and are
wards conveyed to a distance of sixty leagues
the interior of Spain. This shews how idle the report
was that Mr. LAMB had left Madrid; for whilst
Spanish Government acts in the manner that
have stated, that Gentleman can have no pretence
for quitting his post, unless with a view to recre-
in which from the favourable turn that affairs ,
talon, he may indulge himself without any detriment
the business of the mission. Spain has now far
deemed the pledges she gave with respect to Portui
having established the diplomatic intercourse between t
two countries on its former footing, and having besides
taken the most decisive measures against the Portut
rebels. Her conduct towards England has been equally
conciliatory, of which we need adduce no otter
than the arrangement she has lately made with Brit.
claimants, whose property bad been illegally captured
Spanish cruizers. Such is the termination of
arn.ed interference in favour of Poi tugal, which
of our contemporaries in the plenitude of their wisdom,
and the overflawings of their public spirit, have
pleased to characterise as a mad crusade I

Dow that the reigning Duke of litautturcc has lien
AT wounded in his right hand by a fall. No
"firms consequences, however, are apprehended, though
kis said that the wound must be treated with the
greatest care. 'They also announce the death of Prince
ifarsaxxv, who had for so many years filled the post
of Prussian Ambassador at the Court of Vienna. The
prince, who, it is said, enjoyed general esteem at that
fit, was the sane whom BUONAPARTC, in 1806,
gored to be condemned to death by a Court-martial,
bet pardoned at the intercession of the Princess.
An article from Bucharest, the capital of Wallachia,
mentions the arrival of M. de Raseiturtansta at that
place on the 18th ult. He received a visit from the
gosrovaa immediately after his arrival; and it was
expected that after a short stay his Excellency would set
km for Constantinople. From that capital there are ad-
vice, to the llth Jan. at which time every thing appears
to have been perfectly tranquil. Accounts from the same
capital,by. the way of Corfu, but without any date, speak
of nwssage sent by the SULTAN to IBRAHIM PACHA, in-
viting him, in the most gracious manner, to go to Con-
stintinople. It was thought, however, at Corfu, that
be would decline the invitation, and rather undertake a
josrney to Alexandria than to Constantinople. The
eiy Egyptian had probably the Mutes of the Seraglio,
with the formidable bowstring, in his mind's eye, when
be made his selection. A very favourable view is given
in these met: of the affairs of Greece, but it must be
received with caution. All Livadia is said to have
broken out into an insurrection on the retreat of the
SIMMER with his forces from Athens. The insur-
rection is said to extend as far as Salona on one side,
and Volo on the other; or, in other words, to embrace
the eboie of Western and Eastern Greece. KARAIS-
NAZI is described as the soul of this general movement,
and even a victory of some consequence is claimed in
his favour at Arachova, on the Ist of December, on
which occasion MUSTA BET, who commanded the Turks,

is said to have been totally defeated. This claim to
decisive success does not, however, well correspond with
the removal of the Greek Government from the
Continent to the Island of Egina, where, we are
told, the Members arrived on the 10th of November,
and resumed their functions on the following day.
—One of their first acts was to entrust the protection
of the National Assembly to the Ipsariots, which seems
to prove that they have more reliance on the islanders,
than on the people of the adjoining continent. Their
next proceeding was to publish a decree, prohibiting
all persons in arms from approaching Egina; and
this evident sign of distrust is accompanied by
another, interdicting all individuals belonging to
the army from appearing at Egina in person. Ac-
cording to the same decree, all applications and peti-
tions from military men, who are in active service,
are to be made for the future in writing. On the 29th of
the same month, a decree was published, strictly pro.
hibiting piracy, and let us hope that the Government
possesses sufficient authority to enforce it.

The dentate ?shunt/ of the 6th, contains an article front the
French frontiers, dated the 21st January, chewing from internal and
external evidence, that the many articles in the French papers, (all
aid to be taken from the lleaserial lisrdelais) relative to Dr.
Fuca& and PAILAQIIAT, are forgeries.

The Marquis of LANBDOWIta gave notice last night
in the House of Lords, that he would call their Lord
ships' attention to the Catholic Claims on the Bth of
March. To better hands than those of his Lordship
the Catholics could not hare confided their cause,
for to the moderation, which can alone lull the
fears or subdue the scruples, of its adversaries in that
House, he adds considerable Parliamentary tact, arid
soond constitutional principles. Though we well know
how justice and sound policy would dispose of this
great and agitating question, were it left to their deci.
sion, we are not equally certain of the manner in which
their Lordships shall settle it.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The Consol Market at present remains steady ; alternately buyers
and sellers at 82j for the Account, with little doing. The fluctua-
ting this morning has been from 82j to 82j. Up to the present
tune we do not bear of any Express from Paris, but the letters state,
by the mail, that the fall of the French Rents was in consequence
of an Express from London with the indisposition of Mr,
Secretary Camases, who is at present on the most intimate
tetras with M. de Vitt.atx ; of which the opposite party at Paris
are taking advantage, as it is supposed that the death o► Mr.
Secretary CANNINCI would Cause M. de Vacate to go out of office.
It Is undentood that a good deal of Stock has been carried over
to the next Account. In the Foreign market Old Spanish has got up.

This forenoon the Prince POLIGNAC transacted busi-
ness at the ForeignsoMee, in Downing-street.
Mr. Palm's June BILL.—In consequence of the new
Bill of Mr. Pext., by which persons possessing a certain amount of
property are eligible to be summoned on a Jury, a carious circum-
stance occurred in the Court at the Middlesex Sessions on Tuesday
morning. A sweep presented himself with unwashed hands and
eooty garments, to take his seat with his brother Juniors. Several
of the Gentlemen manifested great contempt, and others evinced
fear at the degradation that appeared to await them ; but the Chair-
MUD kindly relieved them front their embarrassment by excusing
the sweep's attendance from the duty he bad been called on to fulfil.
Yesterday morning, about ll o'clock, a Gentleman
named Kul, residing in the Horseferry-road, near the Westminster
Gas Works, was proceeding along Parliament-street, aria-in-arm
with another Gentleman, when opposite the Admiralty, Mr. Kiss
suddenly exclaimed, " Oh Goa!" and instantly fell en the pavement
lifeless corpse. The unfortunate Gentleman was picked up and
carried to the house of a medical man, who endeavoured to restore
animation, but all attempts were fruitless. Mr. Kiss has left a
wife and family to bewail his loos.
