The new Keeper of the Seals (M. de Peyronnet)
resided ever,the Court of Cessation for the first time
on the 29th : the question to be decided was, whether
a church was a sheellieriesse (donors mansionalis),
and whether, consequently, the breaking of it open
was a burglary. The Court decided in the affirms-
live: this is agreeable to the decision of the English
valets. The Judge, however, did not give so qurint

son we likewise have inkier* from St. Petersburg, of
so late a date as the 12th of last mouth, at which time
that city was exceedingly tranquil, and the fears which
Ind arisen from the reports of a war betweea Russia
and Turkey had considerably subsided, and those ra-
moats were generally discredited, nr at all events, the
results were not so much feared as they had hitherto
been. As a proof of the above, the Exchange kept its
last advance steadily, being at the latest date 91.

letter from Eusiden. that Government have sanctioned
the essetien of a bank in East Friesland, and that she
necessary funds are foetheoming. This measure,
there is an doubt. will be pregnant with the greatest
advantages to both the lauded and the commercial in-
timate.
