LATE FOREIGN NEWS.


LONDON, Jan. 81.
This day, at half an hour after two
o'clock, the Lord Chancellor entered the
House of Lords, and proceeding directly
to the table, received the oaths as a Peer
of Parliament. Soon after the noble Lord
retired for the purpose of putting on bis
robes, aud returned to the House, accom-.
panied by the Archbishop Of Canterbury,
the Duke of Wellington, the Earl of Har-
rowby, aud the Earl of Westmereland,
who, with the Noble and Learned Lord,
acted as the Royal Commissioners.
The Gentleman Usher of the Black
Rod was then commanded to require the
attendance of the House of Commons at
the Bar, to hear the Prince Regents
Speech read.
The Commons soon after appeared at
the Bar, preceded by their Speaker, when
the Lord Chancellor, on the part of the
Commissioners, read the following
SPEECH:
Ny Lords and Gentlemen,
1--WE are commanded by his Royal
Highness the Prince Regent TO express to
you the deep regret which he feels in the
continuance of his Majesty's lamented
indisposition.
&c In announcing TO you the severe ca
lamity with which it has pleased Divine
Providence to visit the Prince Regent, the
Royal Family, and the Nation, by the
death of her Majesty the Queen Of the
United Kingdom, his. Royal Highness has
commanded us to direct your attention to
the consideration of such measures as this
melancholy event has rendered necessary
and expedient with respect to the care oi
his Majesty's sacred person.
"We are directed to inform you, that
the negotiations which have taken place
at Aix-la- Chspelle have led to the evacu-
alton Of the French Territory by the AL
lied Armies.
" The Prince Regent has given orders,
that the Convention concluded for this
purpose, as we'll as the other documents
connected with this arrangement, shall be
laid before you: and he is persuaded that
you will view with peculiar satisfaction
the intimate union which SO happily exists
among the Powers who we're parties to
these transactions, and the unwearied dis
position which has heen manifested in all
their proceedings for the preservation Of
the peace and tranquility Of Europe.

lis further to acquaint you, that Treaty

STATE INSOLVENT LAWS.

From the National lntelhgenceF OF March To-
STATE INSOLVENT LAWS.
Great interest having been excited
respecting the recent decisions of the SUI
preme Court, on the subject Of the State
Bankrupt and lnsolvent Laws, we have
obtained statement Of the points decided
by the Court, the accuracy of which
may be depended Oh, and which We now
lay before our readers. The opinions at
large, with The cases and the argument
of counsel, will very soon appear in the
fourth volume Of Mr.. Wheaton's Re-
ports. 1t would be obviously impossible
to include ALI these in the compass of a
newspaper /; and We have, therefore, lin
tied ourselves TO brief analysis of the
opinions of the Court.
The firstcase on this subject which was
heard and determined by the Court, was
that of Sthrges against Cro'vninShieid
This was an action of assumpsit against
the defendant as promissor upon two
promissory notes, both dated at New
York, 22d March, 1871, for the sum oil
$77l SO each, and payable to the plain
tiff. one on the first of August, and the
other Oh the fifteenth of August, 1911.
The defendant pleaded bis discharge
under An act for the benefit of insolv-
ent debtors and their creditors" passed
by the Legislature Of New York, the
third day of April, l8l1.-After stating
the provisions of the act, the defendants
plea averred his compliance with them,
and that he was discharged, and certi-
Gcate given TO him the - day of -
1912.
To this plea there was a general de-
murrer and joinder. At the October
term of the Circuit Court, 1917, this
cause came on to be argued and heard on
the demurrer, and the following questions
arose, wis
l.. Whether, since the adoption Of the
Constitution Of the United States, any
State has authority TO pass a bankrupt
law, or whether the power is exclusively
vested in the Congress of the u. States !?
2. Whether the act of New Y ork,
passed the third day of April, 1911. and
stated in the plea in this case, IS bank
rupt act within the meaning OF the con-
stiiution of the United States !?
3. Whether the act aforesaid is an act
or law impairing the obligation Of cou-
tracts, within the meaning Of the consti-
tuition Of the United States ?
a. Whether the plea is good and suf-
ficient bar of the plaintiffs action ?
And, after hearing counsel upon the
questions, the Judges Of the Circuit
Court were opposed in opinion there
upon and upon molten Of the plaintiff
counsel, the questions were certified to
the supreme Court, fortheir final decision.
On the first question, the Supreme
Court were of opinion, that, until the
power, contained in the constitution Of
the U. States, to pass uniform laws
throughout the union, on the subject OF
bankruptcies, be exercised by Congress,
the states have authority to pass bank
rupt law. provided snch law contains no
principle violating the 10th section Of the
first article Of the constitution Of the

Highness and the Government oil the

6 Gentlemen of the Hoase Of Commons.
{. The Prince Regent has directed thai
the estimates for the current year shall
be laid before you.
"His Royal Hishness feels assured,
that you will learn with satisfaction the
extent of the reduction which the present
situation OF Europe, and circumstances oil
the British Empire, have enabled his Roy
al Highness to effect in the Naval aud
Military establishments of the country.
"His Royal Highness has also the graf
ification Of announcing TO you, consid-
cradle and progressive improvement Of
the Revenue iu its most important bran-
ches.
&c Nv Lords and Gentlemen,
1.-THE Prince Regent has directed to
be laid before you such papers as are ne
cessary to shew the origin and result .oi
the war in the East Indies.
His Royal Highness commands us to
inform you, that the operations undertake
en- by the Governor General in Council
against the Pindarries were dictated by
the strictest principles of self.defence ;
and that iu the extended hostilities which
followed upon those operations, the Nah
rattah Princes were in every instance the
aggressors. Under the provideDt and skill
full superintendent of the Marquis OF
Hastings. the campaisa was marked in
every point by brilliant achievements and
success aud his Majesty's forces and
those of the East India Company, Native
as well as European,) rivalled each other
in sustaining the reputation of the British
arms.
"The Prince Regent has the greatest
pleasure 10 being able TO INFORM you, that
the trade, commerce, aud manufactures Of
the country are in most flourishing cou-
ditioD.
The favorable change which, has SO
rapidly taken place in the internal circum-
stances of the United Kingdom affords
the strongest proof of the solidity of its
resources.
"To cultivate and improve the advan-
tages of our present situation will be the
object of our deliberations aud bis Royal
Highness has commanded us to assure
you of his disposition 10 concur aud CO
operate in whatever may be best calculat-
ed to secure TO his Majesty's subjects the
full benefits Of that state Of peace which
by the blessing of Providence, has been SC
happily re-established throughout Eu'

failures as have lately taken place. On
Monday, we were acquainted with those
of seven French houses the next day, a
leading house of this city, having as prin-
cipai bank director and member Of par
lament, stopped payment. On Wednes-
day and Thursday other failures were an
|nounced, and on Friday one Of the first
houses in London, whose credit has never
been doubted, was obliged to suspend pay
ment. This concern is said to have fail
ed for 100000 pounds sterling being the
greatest failure since that of Fordyce 10
1892. No failure ever excited more H.
terest than this; the high reputation OF
this house for probity has drawn forth
much commisseration for its misfortaues.
TO close, two other houses stopped pay
ment on Saturday.
