belhangiWto t.p!t_Eati Abergaeenny. That Noble-
mane hoWt.rlflkwishing to have ground occupied in
that summary manner. consented to affix a small rent
upon it, of It. 6d. a year; on payment of which he per'
mitred this man to reside there. On the night of the
17th of last May, the house. was discovered to beton
fire, and the risonee was found in the act of removing
away a past of hit tittle furniture. He voluntarily con-
fessed to thaaonstable. that It was he who had set the
place on Pre; and-in-Inrtber explanation, the. Learned
Counsel humanely adde.rl;. that the prisoner had had a
quarrel with his,wife, and it was for refienge upon her
that he had burnt their little dwelling ; he was a person
of very violent and insane temper when drunk, and was
eeidenfli, into:jotted-at the time of the outrage.
James Jones, the principal witnesswas ealkd, but did not answer.
The constable was then called, who apprehended the
prisoner by his 'Mei desire, while he was trying to
rescue his little furniture from the flames, which he de.
Glared he had himself kindled to be revenged upon his
wife, who hid complained of his violent conduct when
drunk on the night in question. The constable described
the house, as. it *was called in the indictment, to be a
*retched thatCherci.fisst,Ar bore!, with one apartment, or
enclosed placcomach initaior to the general plan of
vier sheik.
Mr. Justice IluttnnUun said that there was hardly
sufficient evidence to shew this building to have been a
house. It was a pity the case had come before him ;
for the law, which imposed an awful penalty for arson,
did not disritiguish large inhabitable houses from small
ones, and he could not compromise his duty by milting
any such distinction.
Mi.WArsou concurred in the insufficiency of the evi-
dence. The only object of the noble- prosecutor was to
shew that such proceedings ought not to be permitted
v. it h total iMpunity. The ct ime ttself was, in principle, a
serious one, though he was by no means disposed to
carry this prOsecution any further.
A verdict of acquittal was pronounced, and the Learn-
ed Judge admonished the prisoner to avoid a similar
offence in future. He ran the risk of being hanged if
he set ale to his landlord's house because he could not
agree with his wife. It ought. however, to be a warning
to him how he drank to excess, for it was the influence
of liquor which had first caused the quarrel, and then
the burning of the place.

RORY WELCHMAN V..TONZS AND DAVIS.
The plaintiff, Henry Welchman, a linen draper at
Bi iAvl, brought this action against the defendants, who
were, one of them, a linen draper, and the other at
Abergavenny, for a, Malicious prosecution.
The circurri.tances were these:—ln February, 18/.5,

the defendant, E.R. J ales, then a linen draper at Aber.
gavenny, wished to dispose of his stock in trade, and
the plaintiff went to him for the purpose of making a
bargain respecting it, for hit brother, John Welchman.
A negotiation was entered into, and a memorandum of
an agi cement was prepared, and signed by the plaintiff.
not in his own proper signature, but that of his brother
John. The purchase being completed, bills were trans-
mitted in payment, signed John Welchman ; who sub-
sequently became a bankrupt, and never appeased to
his com Mission—the bills were subsequently disho-
noured ; and in the month of July following,-the de-
fendants went before a Magistrate, and made oath that
tlte. _plaintiff .bad fraudulently personated his brother
3°11144nd. by that artifice had become possessed of the
defendant Jones's property. Having made this affida-
41i; (bey obtained a warrant coarsest the plaintiff;
After several witnesses had been examined,
Mr. lttrasELL, for, the deft ndant, took a legal objec.
tion Upon certain variances between the original docn
meats produced, and the descriptions of them in the I
declaration. It was averred in the first count that the
warrant was backed by one Robert Haystill, Esq. the
Mayor of Bristol, whereas the warrant, on being pro-
duced, exhibited the signature of a name which merely
consisted of certain up-and-down strokes that were
perfectly illegible as letters, and might or might not
have been taken for a name. On the other side it was
_contended, that however badly written, it still purported
to.be the Ilona Ale signature of the Mayor of Bristol.
On ,tastber inquiry, however, it was a•cettained that the
Mayor's name was Haysill, not Hay still.
—Mil Baron. (i&anow said, that, probably, these up-
iffid4onis sttokes ,wele the signature of a Gentleman

name bad been. his practice through life. Were he

critically. •hut judicially. He pet fectly remembered
-having jested with'one of his oldest and m .st valued
'frlertds, Sir 'William Curtis, up-n his style of hand-
writing when franking letters; ft r of all the modes of
~wrktigg,,he had ever seen, his friend's signature was the
ilAinti etitjrelj illegible; ir resembled nothing upon earth
*hat could be called letters, and really passed at the •
Post-flue, because it bore no resemblance to any thing
else tkatt_the ups and downs of Sir William's frank.—
:(4 lifugh.) The Learned Baron, in conclusion, held
ihautise-raciance in the Mayor's name, Haystill, instead
of Baran, was fatal to the declaration.
• 'lnt. Tathtlraw, Weever, showed that the second count was free
pornithe objection, and the case went on.
"Mt Roams. made, an energetic appeal to the Jury in behalf of
the defendants, in which be urged, that they bore no malice, which
infist be the ground work. of a false charge, and that in reality their
rills' bid been obtained by the plaintiff's having assumed his
• britliefs name in the signature to the agreement.
Th.* :pity found a verdict for the defendants. The ease lasted
titil tight o'clock on Tuesday mains.
CORK.
Patrick Sullivan, a lad about eighteen years of age,
was indicted for having received stolen goods, namely—
font butter firkins, the propetty of Messrs. Leatry, of
Cork. The prosecutors w ere persons extensively engaged
in trade, The prisoner was in Astir employment. It
was found that upwards of 200 butter fit kins were
taken out at the stores.
D Lane—Witness knows the prisoner at eie bar.
Witness and the prisoner were in the employment of
Messrs. Leatry. The prisoner proposed to witness to
let him have some butter firkin:, which he observed
airtight be easily sold, and they could settle as to the
buneyl Witness was at length, after much presing'
prevailed upon to give over to the prisoner a number
' of the butter fu kins, and witness accordingly left she
firkins in a certain place, for the prisoner, as it was,
previously arranged bet*eeu them. (Here four firkins
were produced by a woman, to whom they were sold
by the prisoner ; but the desk of Messrs. Leatry was
not able to identity the fit kins) They were like those
in the stt.tes ; hut it was lie conceived impos.ible to
swear to them.

An article in the Frwrossrnd, received this
mauling, gives some further particulars of the late affair
-with the SYSILLZ and the Greek pirates:

MALTA, June 27.
His Majesty's frigate the Sybil., Captain Pechel, returned to this
port cm the 2Sth; after having spent a month at Alexandria and in
the Archipelago. While it was at Alexandria, the Maltese brigantine
the Sue, and the Sardinian brigantine Phenomenon, entered that
poet, after having been visited and pillaged by four Greek mystics.
Captain Pechel being informed of this, tool on board a sailor be-
longing to the Sun, and went in search of the pirates. He fell in
with them off Gozza, thirty miles from Chad* and gave them
chase. The pirates, having taken refuge in shay, the Sybille armed
its boats to attack the mystics, but the latter kept up such a heavy
Are on the bouts, that they were disabled, and wete in danger of
being all taken, bad not the frigate some to their aid. The Sybille
has returned to this port, having had 15 men 'among wham
are two Midshipmen ( Aspirars)of distiataishett families.- She has
brought back 27 wounded; among whom ate two Lieutenants,
whose wounds are mortal.
We have received certain information, that his Majesty's frigate
CaMbria, Commodore Hamilton, has destroyed about 50 mystics,
and taken nearly 1,000 men, who coMposed their crews.

German Papers were Also received this morning, from
which the following are extracts:

NUREII'CURG, Jute. 45.
There is now scarcely any doubt that the differences respecting
the navigation of the Rhine will be shortly settled to the satisfaction
of the parties interested. The Government of the Netherlands, as
we bear, has expressed its readiness to desist from the claims it has
hitherto made, to restrict the navigation of the rivers through its
territory, and now pretends only to a suitable indemnification for
the great expends of the dikes, sluices, and other works, without
which the navigation of the river into the sea would not be possible.
The only point therefore would be to fis the amount of this in-
demaky, as the equky of the claim will hardly be disputed by any
'party. It la said theta great German Power, which has no direct
. interest in the business, will take on itself the office of mediator, at
the joint solicitation of all the States on the banks of the River.
BERLIN, Jura, 14.
All kinds of law proceedings have latterly increased in such a
degsee, pastly foam the increase of business, and partly front the
genera► revolution that has effected almost all classes, that the
' Supreme Tribunal, notwithstanding its acknowledged activity,
• cannot pus an ordinary conlirsnatory sentence a less than eight

months, or a sentence altering that of an inferior Court in ku than
16 months : some measures have been taken to remedy this evil, by
;transferring fart of the business to other Courts. An Otdonnance
Itis just been published, extending to the whole kingdom the regu
tations giving certain advantages us Prussian civil officers in case
their salary is sequestrated by virtue of a judicial sentence. In this
case an °fuer in active service retains 400 dollars bf his salary for
his support, and if he is a pensioner retired from service, 600 dol-
lars. Still more important is a declaration relative to the law of
Finances of 17th January. 1820. According to this Edict, not only
are the whole of the public debts placed under the guarantee
of the future estates of the kingdom, without whose consent they
cannot be increased, but the Rnyal Domains and their revenues are
pledged to the•publie creditor, under the superintendance of sworn
Commissioners. According tb the declaration, all the domains un-
der the administration of • the Board of Finance are to be here
understood, including the abolished monasteries, which are not men-
tioned in the law df 1820.
It its said that the celebrated traveller Alexander Von Humboldt
is expected, on a visit to his brother the Minister of State, William
Von Humboldt, and that he wiU make a long stay with him, at his
country seat, Tegel.
BUCHAREST, JULY 4.
Our letters from Constantinople of the 29th of Julie and Ist of
July say nothing of the state of the capital. The arrival of Lord
Gordon at Napoli, who announced the coming of Lord Cochrane,
has caused a great sensation at Smyrna.
10th.—We have no late news from Constantinople. The Russian
post, with the letters of the 7th, is expected.
Bogota Pipers of the 25th May, received at the
North and South American Coffee house, contain a
cop, of the law passed by the Colombian Senate and
House of Representatives, for the consolidation of public
credit. The Decree was passed on the 19th Mays it
is of great length, but we have only room for the fol-
lowing extract:
" First, They put aside to pay the interest of their foreign debts
the duties on tobacco, the eighth part of the proceeds of the duties
collected at the Custom-houses, and the proceeds of all mines sold.
And for the payment of the interest of the home debt, they assign,
amongst other objecti, the tenth part of all municipal duties,
and the ninth part of ;11 the tythes. A Commission of Inspection
for public credit has been appointed. Their foreign debt is about
six millions, seven hundred snd fifty thousand pounds, at six per
Cent. Home debt about seventeen hundred thousand pounds,
at five per Cent:"

Carthagena Papers of the SOth April contain the Ales•
sage from the President of Mexico to the General Con•'
press, in which he states, that France has solemnly
declared its earnest desire to draw closer its mercantile
relations with this and the other modern Republics of
America. We have given its leading points.
Jamaica Papers to the 24th of June were received
last night, at the North and South American Coffee-
house. The following is an extract :

SANTA MARTHA, Jostle.
On the 9th Instant, a squadron, composed of one ship of the
Roe, four frigates, and a schooner, came o 1 this port ; they hovered
about us until two o'clock, when they proceeded to leeward. This
day's post brings accounts of their being at anchor off a deserted
part of the coast to leeward of SavanWa, in all probability In
search of water, or, perhaps, lurking for prizes. Everything was
ready here to give them a warm reception, bad they attempted a
landing. General Montilla, who happened to be at one of his
estates, about tea leagues from where they were lying, immediately
came up, and raised on amuse the militia of the district. He also
ordered up the Tyradores of the Guard (one of their crack Regi-
ments) from Carthagens so that Wale enemy attempts to land, be
will be met in all vulnerable points of the coast. Nothing can
equal the enthusiasm with which every individual runs to arms to
defend his home.

At a late hour this morninge reseiied Dutch Papers
to the 2d inclusive, but the following is the only politi-
cal article which they contain
__

BATAVIA, Mama IS.
Our accounts from Djoejocarta are only to the 15th of last month.
There had been some skirmishes with the rebels, who were always
defeated. It now appears that several of these Chiefs were killed
in an action of the tsth of February. The native Chief Wiroyoedo,
who was mach devoted to the rebels, and has great influence, has
submitted, and four other Inferior Chiefs, to the Resident at Kadoe,
who thinks that others will follow the example.
tid.—The Batesis arrant contains accounts of various actions
of little importance.--The incestutt rain impedes the movement of
our troops, so that they do not act except in cases of extreme ne.
ceseity. This seems to have encouraged the rebels, and in some
degree to have gained for the moment more adherents.

The Paris Papers of Monday, and the Etoile dated
Tuesday, have been received. The latter contains a
long official correspondence, extracted from the Mezican
Government Gazette, relative to the establishment of a
French commercial agent in Mexico. The history of
this affair may be succinctly stated. It appears that a'
Mr. MURPHY bad been established as an agent for the
Mexican Government in Paris, under the authority of
Mr. ROCA, WIRTZ, Mexican Envoy to London ; and that,
on the application of Mr. MURPHY, the King of Dunce
bad allowed the formation of Mesican commercial
agencies in different parts of his kingdom. Admiral
*DUPER RR, commander of the French naval force
in the %Vest Indies, dispatched the Nymphe frigate to
Vera Cruz in April, with a letter trs the Mexican
Minister for Foreign Affairs, in which he announces

that his Most Christian Majesty had authorised him,
through the medium of Count CRABROL, his Mi-
nister for the Marine and Colonies, to ask of the
Mexican Government the establishment of a superior
agent of French commerce, accredited under his autho-
city as Admiral of the fleet on that station. M.
MARTIN, the agent so appointed, was on board the
Nymphe, and waited the reply of the Mexican Minister
to this despatch, before proceeding to the capital. The
singular form in which he was accredited by the French
Admiral, instead of direct from his Government, did not
escape the notice of M. CAMACIIN the Mexican Minister
for Foreign Affairs. In his reply, however, after stating
the necessity, in similar cases, of a direct authority frOm
the Government represented, he declares his willingness
to have waved this. pint, through his anxious desire to
cultivate the good-wilt of Prance, had Mr. MUMMY, the
agent appoihted in Paris by M. Rocatusale, been pub-
licly acknowledged in that character. Thiti, however,
was not done, and the King of Fnanos,. furtlitr., in his
speech at the opening of the Session, had made no men-
tion of relations with Mexico, although, delivered sub-
sequently to the mission of Admiral DllPEallt. M.
CANIACHO declares that the rule of his Government is
that of perfect reciproeita, and on the ground that Mr.
Mummy's official character in Paris is that of (widen-
tial, as distinguished trom authetised agent, he grants
permission to M. MARTIN to Like up his tesidel•ce in
the Republic under a similar tide. He would thus be
enabled to fulfill all the functions assigned him, until
the King of FRANCE., informed of all that had occurred,
should confirm his appointment in the usual form..
The Dale 'tresses doubts of the intelbgence from Lisbon re•
specting a change of Ministry, first published lry the Maritsa/mad,
and professes to consider the event, if true, an affair of very ill
omen, inasmuch as it world show that the leading party in Portugal

papers. The oath to the new Portuguese Constitution vet, to he

On the subject of Lord CuCIORANI'II expedition to Greece, tbe

and was seen steering towards Malta, adds, " that he opght to lose
no time in arriving before Napoli." Some extras: from these papers
giving a proclamation and substance of some decrees by the !latency'
at Lisbon, will be found in another column.

THE DUKE Or DEVONSHIRE.

-

By a letter we have waived from a Gentleman, in the suite of
kis Grace the Duke of Devonshire, dated the 20th Jun., at St.
Petersburgh. we are informed, that the Duke gave a dtjeteni nit
board the Gloucester, 74, on the 17th, which was attended by 90
persons of the must distinguished Nobility of St. Petersburgh, who
were tread', delighted with the novelty of the entertainment.
Monday, the 19th June, was the first day of his Grace visiting
the Emperor to elate, who received him at the Imperial Palace
of Crestolfske, about eve worsts fT•I3I St. Petersburgh. The
cavalcade consisted of three carriages; in the first of which (the
state carriage) were his Grace and the Noblemen e ' bit
suite. drawn by six horses, with postillions, and "d by id
footmen and a chasseur • he whole in splendid state liveries. The
neat carriage was drawn' by four horses in hand, with new
harness, attended by six footmen and a chssseur: the last was a
chariot, drawn by four Russian horses, with Russian coachstiaii
and postillion, in new Russian liveries attended also by six footmen
and a Anwar. His Grace was received with the most ilatteriog
marks of distinction by the Emperor, who was pleased to highly
compliment the Duke on the elegance and splendour of his equipage.
width. for chasteness, far exceeds anything of the kind that has yet
been displayed in St. Petersburgh. The French Ambassador Ex-
traordinary (the Marshal Duke of Ragusa) was highly delighted;
and expressed to the Duke of Devonshire his astonishment, that his
Grace could ets soon have appeared at the Imperial Court so mag-
