MARSH, STR.ACEY, AID Co.'s CREDITORS.

A Meeting of the Creditors of Mews. Marsh, Stracey,
and Co. took place yesterday at the Court of the Com-
missioners of Bankrupts, Basinghall-street, for the
purpose, according to the advertisement, of obtaining
the assent of the creditors to a deed of settlement made
by Henry Fauntleroy, in March 11322, and for other
'parro*es. The Meeting was very thinly attended.
Mr. GORDON, Solicitor to the Assignees, ofened the
business by reading the advertisement which had ap-
peared in the Gazelle and other papers. He then stated
that the object of the deed of settlement, which was the
first subject for the consideration of the present Meeting,
was to invest in the Funds, for the benefit of Anna
Maria Forbes, a sum of 2,0801. the intetest and divi-
dends to be paid to Anna Marta Forbes during her life,
and after her decease, in trust for the two daughters t.f.
Anna Maria Forbes, in such manner as she should
direct. This sum, in consequence of accumulations,
at present amounted to 2,5001. Mrs. Forbes having
lately applied for a part of the dividends, and the assig-
nees not feeling themselves warranted in acting without
the consent of the creditors, they had called the present
Meeting, in order that the creditors might consent to an
application to the Lord Chancellor, for the purphe.—
Mr. Fauntleroy was perfectly aware, some time before
his trial took place, that this d ed could be annulled.
The assignees applied to him in order to have some
assignments, which, if not effected, would, on his con-
viction, be forfeited to the Crown. To this he assented,
on condition that the assignees should use their influence
to have the deed forfeited for the use of Mrs. Forbes and
her children. The assignees promised to do every thing
in their power consistently wi..11 the interests of the
creditors; and in consequence, conveyances to the
amount of 1.5,000/. had bean made by Mr. Fauntleroy,
for the benefit of the creditors.
Mr. Goanou submitted that the creditors were in
honour bound to realize the hopes which had been held
out, and as it proved so advantageous to them, he
trusted there would be no objection to it.
After some observations horn Mr. Bolland and other
creditors, it was unanimously resolved, that the as-
signees be empowered to pay to Mrs. Forbes the divi-
dends on the deed, and apply to the Court of Chancery
by pe ition or otherwise, to have this object effected.
Mr. GORDON said, that Mr. Forbes, a Solicitor, had
a claim to the amount of 9731. on the estate of Mr.
Fauntleroy, for professional business, and money lent
during his imprisonment. As security for this, he had
a mortgage on two houses in York street, valued at
2,0001. each, and a bond for .5001. As it was princi-
pally through his kind offices that the assignees were
enabled to procure from Mr. Fauntleroy the convey-
ances alluded to, they were anxious that he should be
paid his demand in full.
After some discussion, k was agreed to refer Mr.
Forbes's claim to Mr. Parnther of London-street, and
that the assignees be empowered to pay the just amount
thereof, on receiving from him all the liens which he
has on Mr. Fauntleroy's estate.
It was also resolved, that the assignees be authorised to com-
pound for debts finally, and to give time and take security.
Mr. MACKAY observed, that a general statement of the affairs of
the Bankruptcy would be very satisfactory ; but that they ought
not to call a meeting of the creditors for such trivial matters as were
brought forward to day.
Mr. BOLLAND said, that there was a statement of the outstanding
debts of the estate at Tottenham-street, which any creditor who

wished might see, which would be more satisfactory than a state-
ment In this place.
After a long discussion of no interest, respecting the late decision
of the ease of Stone and Ciahagan v. Musk and Co: in the Court
of Hing's Bench, and other matters of minor importance, the
Meeting separated.

The project for increasing the Members of the Uni-
versity Club having ¢een a‘andoned, the Candidates for admission,
it is now said, intend to form a new Club from among themselves,
open, at the same time, to Members of other Learned bodies than
the two to which the present Club is confined.
Mr. B. Elsworthy, of Bath E tton, Surrey, was killed,
by a fall from his horse, when returning from Epsom
Races, on Friday, to Benfield, Berks. The accident hap-
pened at a leap, and Mr. E. broke both his thighs in
endeavouring to extricate himself from a new enclosure
by a nearer way. He survived until the evening.
Bat.Loma Accrnawr.—Mr. •Baowi made an ascent
at Hull on Thursday last. In attempting to descend on
Thorne Common he was thrown out of the car, and
taken up much bruised. He was conveyed to a sur-
geon, who bled him; after which, when he had taken
some refreshment, he was enabled to proceed in a post-
chaise to Sheffield. The balloon escaped.

An accident occurred yesterday se'nnight to Mr.
Courtenay, the Hying phenomenon, on his descent front
St. Vincent's Rocks, Clifton, to Leigh Wood, on the op-
posite side of the river Avon, which he performed in
the presence of an immense concourse of spectators. In
descending, by reason of some imperfection in the rope,
he fell, and dislocated one of his shoulders.

A pour chimney-sweeper of Tewkesbury accidentally
was shot in the body, by a straggling apprentice from
Cheltenham, while picking up rooks for a shooting party,
at Lower Lode Ferry. He lies in a dangerous state.
PROCLAMATION.
JEAN PIERRE BOYER, PRESIDENT OF HAYTI:

The motives which induced this Government to for•
bid all intercourse between its vessels and foreign'
countries being no longer in existence, since, by the
acknowledgment of our independence, and the esta-
blishment in Hayti of Consuls from several Powers,
the Haytian fl.ig can appear on the high seas with that
respectability which the laws of nations guarantee, we
declare, that from the 15th instant, on; Proclamation'
of the 20th of March shall be revived, in order that
the citizens of Hayti, in carrying on commerce with
toreign countries, may enjoy all the advantages which
they have a right to expect.
Therefore, our vessels may navigate the high seas,
and trade with the countries that are on terms of friend-
ship with the Republic, taking care strictly to observe
the laws of nations.
Nevertheless, our determination to avoid most scru-
pulously every occasion of umbrage to other Govern-
ments, in relation to the internal police of their colonies,
requires that we should renew once more, by these
presents, our express prohibition to Haytian vessels to
go to the Islands and Colonies belonging to those Go-
vernments, as well as to North and South Carolina, in
the United States of America.
Nevertheless, in conformity with the wish formerly
expressed by the Governments of St. Thomas and Cu.
racoa, that our commercial relations should continue
on their ancient footing, and now that we can reply to
those friendly advances withont endangering the honour
of the national flag, we authorize Haytian vessel to
trade freely with the Islands St. Thomas and Cur via.
This Proclamation shill be printed and published wherever it
may be necessary, and buertrel fur three months in the Vein! Ga-
zette. The authorities, both Civil and Military, will conform thereto.
Given at the National Pakice of Port-au-Prince, the iv. day al
April, 1826, in the 23d year 'dour independence. BOYSK.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE•

GUILDIIALL.

Henry Logan, and Patrick and Pallid Briggs, all Irishmen, were
charged with an extraordinary assault. Logan, it seems, came out
of Moor-lane into Fore.... :et, early on Sunday morning. shouting
murder ! thieves! and WI, a watchman, immediately tarred bis
services. Logan led him back into Moor-lane, and then suddenly
knocked him down, and endeavoured to strangle him, renewing at
the same time his yells of murder and thieves. One Hamlet was
attracted by the noise to the spot, and while standing in a quandary
debating whether he ought to assist the man who was crying mur-
der, or the strangling watchman, Patrick darted half naked out of
an adjoining home, and felled him with a blow upon the nose from
a poker, and as he was lying insensible un the ground the other
prisoner kicked him. A reinforcement then came up, Voli was
rescued, and the prisoners secured.
They were anxious to he Load in their defence, hut Sir Cita:Les
FLOWZR cut the matter short, and held them to bail.
