On the morning of the I•2th he received orders
from Gen. Clinton to march and take up such ground
as would be pointed out, es he would stay to gee the
orders he had received properly executed ; he believed
this was about 11 o'clock. The brigade he corn-
mandod utukr Gen. Clinton marched for embarka-
tion about 11 o'clock at night ; he embarked between
11 and I'2. He did not beliwe the road from Villa_
franca was within the range of grape from the ships;
they could not have prevented thc advance of a co.
lumn on that road; a part of the road near the bridge
was near to the sea. hut not so near as a stone's
throw. II o dial not know on the Ilth of June that
the enemy had 1.2,0c0 men at l'erl illu, aml lee had

A BENEVOLENT CREDITOR.

Yesterday a Prisoner, wbo had been several times
remanded, was brought up for filial hearing. The
principal objection to his discharge was, that he had
offended-igainst the cessio bonorum Act, by assign.
ing bis property to a favoured creditor. The person
to whom the deed of assignment had keen given was
a Miss Jepson, a Lady of fashionable appearance.
It came out during the investigation of the Prisoner's
affairs, that the Lady, influenced by humanity only,
had at different times advanced him and his family
pecuniary Rid. On this occasion her charitable dis-
position went so far as to induce her to propose can-
celling the deed, solely with the view of releasing
the unfortunate man, who was ill, and had been se-
veral months in gaol.
Mr. RocEns, jun. the Solicitor, who attended in
behalf of a detaining creditor, rather opposed the hu-
mane intention of Miss Jepson, and, in addition to
the-charge offraudolently disposing of his goody, ac-
cused the prisoner of prevarication and perjury, at a
previous examination.
The Lady, who sustained the part of a Counsellor,
with great ability, answered the objections of Mr. R.
and refused to admit that the man had been guilty of
perjury. She observed, " his illness and long con-
finement made him almost incapable of knowing what
he said. I have seen Counsellors, and you Gentle-
men Solicitors, so brow-boat a witness, that he did
not know whether he was sitting, or standing, and it
was not extraordinary if a poor sick debtor varies a
little in his evidence:"
Mr. Commissioner PALmen jocosely said, he had
seen witnesses often bewildered in the way Miss
Jepson described.
After the Lady had cancelled the deed in Court,
by mating off the seal, the prisoner obtained his (ha-
! charge, and she was inndo one of his assignees.
In answer to a remark made, that she must be rich
if she could • afford to give up security for.the debt
Clue from the priseuer ; she said, it was not her wish
to keep an unfortunate person incarcerated, n lid when
she had money to expand, she was happy to apply it
in this way. On the Whole, her conduct iu a humane
point of view, was most amiable.

FIFTH CASE.

A girl, aged 13 years, had the double misfortune !
of losing her mother when very young, end *f being
placed for education with a school-mistress, who
wickedly abused the trust reposed in .her, and en.
couraged her scholar in various acts of dishonesty,
thifruits of which she was accustomed basely to
partake of. For these nets this deluded child was;
taken before a Magistrate, who, in consideration of
her tender years, was much disposed to try the be-
nevolent efforts of this Asylum for penitent °gen-
ders. She was received, upon upplication from some
gentlemen who knew her, and commiserated her
condition, and now continues, in the hotse, an ea-
ample of patient industry to her companions. Thus

Camp before Almara, A pi 11 21, 181.1

Sin,—l had last night the honour to transmit a
copy of a letter from Major Patton, commanding the
detachment which I ordeied.to march on the night of
' the 22i1, against Ilustee Dhull Chowtra.
With the sincerest sati►faction I have the honour
! to transmit, for the information of his Excellenvy the
Commanderju Chief, 01 subsequent report from Ma-
jOT Patittft, 1114 to add, that the rout and dispersion
of that Chief's selected force is fully confirmed.—
Some have returned to Almora, but by no means the
whole force, if we can credit reports. With senti-
ments of regret for the death of a gallant Chief,
mixed with those of joy for the removal of an active
and.vigilant enemy, I have to announce the death of
Huatee Dhull Chow tra, uncle to the reiping Rajah of
Nepaul ; he was shot through the temple, and died
upon the road to Almora.
A Sirdnr, named Jeyrnokah, has also been
brought into Almora, dangerously wounded through
the body.
I hope to open the eight.ineh mortars upon sit.
tolee to-morrow, and wider the prevailing
alarm and
dejection, I dare say the apprehension of these for.
midable engines will induce the enemy to an early
evacuation of that post.

Though [ believe there was not any previous con.
cart, the very sharp firing upon the hill encouraged
the gartison of the fort to make a sortie ; they came
up to the wall of our advanced post, about six feet
high or more, and threw stones over it. One
Goorkha had the temerity, to mount the wall, front
which he instantly WI dead. Throughout the night
an incessant skirtnisliiiig prevailed, occasioning, many
casualties. Amongst ()awes, Lieut. Tapley, of the

This morning the advanced.post in town was posh.
ed to within 70 yards of the fort of Almora, and re.
mains established there. Lieut. Bell having thrown
several B.iuch shells into the fort, the garrison was
' compelled to remain concealed, and the Goorkhas
and Kussias having quitted it in great numbers, it
was too easily considered by our advanced parties to
have been evacuated. They proceeded up the street
which bounds it on the east side, in order to get to
the door by which so many had quitted it. The gar-
rison suddenly showed themselves, and a hot tire
rendered it necessary to retreat, which was accord-
iogly done, hut with a good countenance.
At nine A. M. a flag of truce brought me a letter
from the Chountra Bum Salt, and another ft urn Capt.

hems prudent to have riskail an action under the walls
of Tarragona under such circumstances, and for such
a purpose; but I must confine this answer strictly,
to the 12th of June, and to the suppositions cotl-

been a great hazard of the loss of a considerable part
uf•the troops and of their equipm►,nt, in case of .oar

PRIVATE HEARINGS.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, after hearing some cases,
rose at half-past twelve, and as he was leaving the
Court, he said nearly as follows :—" I am now
going to hear in private the farther arguments in the
case of Lord Portsmouth's alleged lunacy. Before
I go there I wish it to be understood publicly, that
ever since this Court was a Court, it has exercised
the power of hearing causes that involved merely the
interests and concerns of private families in private,
when the parties so wished that it should be Ward ;
and I farther beg it to be publicly understood, that this
is a cause in which both the parties concerned have
requested that the hearings should be in private. It
has always been considered that the publication of
matters merely of a domestic or family nature can be
of no public importance, but may give great and un-
necessary pain to one or both of the parties.
Mr. HART said (as we are told), that it-was only
those who were paid for the publication of such
things that complained of their being heard in pri-
♦ate.

that are sent for decision before the Master are so
sent to prevent their publication, because their ex-
'insure would be of no public importance, and only
disr•losing unnecessarily private family affairs. But,
I again repeat it, in this case the private hearing is
not the act of the Judge, but it is done at the express
request of both the parties.

CATASTROPHE IN WELL-STREET.

The roias of Mr. Constadt's concerns still issue. forth smoke
and dame, and such is the immense heap of rubbish, that, not-
withstanding the exertions of Nearly 100 persons, it was not
rollielently removed at a late hour on Friday for exploring that
part of tbalmildlog where the bodies of the three persons missing
aresupposed to be buried. Among others who assisted in clearing
the ruins. 'was Mr. Constadt himself, dressed as a labourer, and
furnished with a pick-axe and shovel. Ills ease has excited the
most lively eommisseration for his as sfortone, and every assist-
ance has been affn ded him by the neighbourhood. His loss
eaodot be computed under 40.000. as. iudependent of the two
warehouses, with all the machinery, &c. there was also an im-
mense quantity of sugars. The individuals who bad been eon-
'fled to the London Hospital, from the elfr.scts of the explosion,

HOTJSR OF REPRESENTATIVES, Ju?it I.

The PRESIDENT observed, that he had obtained an
andience of the Emperor, and had announced to him
the election of M. Lanjuinsis to the Presidenep-of
the noose.

",1 demanded," added the President, "to know if his
Majesty had any thing to communicate reiative to
that nomination. The Emperor answered, that he
had written at 10 o'clock this 'Punting to the Cham-
berlain, and had made known his decision."

[Many murmurs took place.]
M. .--I think that the relations be-
tween the Emperor and (hp House ought to be more
direct, and that the President cannot correspond
officially with a Chamberlain of the Emperor. • I de-
mand, therefore, that the letter be not written by
the Provi.iimal President, but that the House, con.
tinning Its Sittings, awaits the answer of the Em-
peror.

M. DUMOLARD•-" There must be a mistake in
(pit you have stated, Mr. President. You are
animated, no doubt, by the best motives, but we
cannot suppose that w hen a communication is ne-
cessary between this House and the Emperor, any
Chamberlain could become the medium between the
Representatives of the People and the Chief of the
Slate."

M. REGNAUD St. JEI.`.4 D'ANOELY.--fit I cannot
but support what has been so justly expressed by our
Colleague Dumolard, that the words of the Emperor
have not been properly delivered to us; but we had
Netter wait for the Emperor's message, which ought
to arrive immediately."

The Proms; Verbal of yesterday as then read
again.

The Pue.stnEwr demanded of the Assembly if its
would proceed to nominate Vice-Presidents and Se-1
cretaries.

M. Dvssot. tan desired, that before having the
Vice-Presidents and Secretaries, the MUMS would
decide upon their numbers and the duration of ,their
functions.

Other Members were of opinion that all these
points ought to be deferred until after the decision
relative to the l'resident.

The House then suspended its proceedings.
The House resumed, and M. REGNAULT Sr.
JaAN D'Arrocr.v. announced, that he was charged to
deliver to the President the Emperor's answer.
M. Sc►rtoN MOVRGUES, Deputy of the Somme.—
" I demand to know whether it is as a Member o?
the house or as a Minister, that our Colleague makes
this communication."

I M. REGNAULT.—" In both qualities. They are
united. The Emperor has given me a mission, and
I fulfill it."
The decision of the Emperor written at the bottom
of the very paper which contained a Message of the
• House, is conceived in these words:—
" r4kice of the Thoilkries, Jobe 5.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.

On Saturday last, an application was made. to
the Court,. for a warrant, against a (010
had been discharged) to remand him to his original
custody, on the ground that the Creditor applying,
hod not been himself, his wife, or any nose of his ser-
vants, served with any notice when the Prisoner was
tolbe brought up for the purpose of being discharg•d,
Sorvice, however, of the notice, on a servant of ske
Creditor, at his place of abode had been verified on
the part of the Prisoner, previous to his discharge._.
This infamous practice of what is vulgarly cad. d,
" buffing a notice," is, we fear, too frs-queut in
every 'Court in Westminster. halt; particularly in
the Court for Relief of Insolvent Debtors. We
were happy, however, on Thursday lest, to hear the
opinion of the Commissioner, Mr. Serjeant ittnv.
NINGTON, on this subject. A►ter stating the case al.
luded tu, and lamenting the frequency and enormit♦
II of ilse practice, he said that he felt himself called
upon to do every thing within his power, to prepist
'if possible a repetition of it in future. To prevent,
I therefore, similar impositions upon creditors, and
that even the debtors themselves might resort to re.
sponsible persons in future, to serve their notice,, he
directed, that " none but persons appointed by the
Court, for the purpose, (a i 1 who should give go .a
security for the diligent and faithful discharge of
their duties,) should in future serve and verify gm
service of the usual notices to Creditors, %Nth' the
Bills of Mortality at least. And as the Insolv..nts
themselves pay their own agents for those services at
present, more, perhaps, than ought to be exacted,
the persons appointed by the Court should only be
paid such reasonable sums for the service of each no.
lice, as the Court in its discretion should thitsk
right."—This regulation may probably, not only af.
ford some security to Creditors against fraud and
imposition, but facilitate even the discharge of the
honest unfortunate Debtors themselves, and that at
j a much less expence than at present they are unhap.
pily subjected to; with the additional advantage of
having their purposes effected, under the orders, and
by the medium of an officer, responsible to the Court
for the faithful discharge of the duty.
