KVew York papers have arrived to the 24th of April incltreive; their contents are unimportant: we subjoin a few paragraphs :_ " NEVw Youx, April 23.-Francis S. Cox, Esq., bearer of de- spatches from the American minister at Buenos Ayres, to our Go- vern7nent, has arrived at Philadelphia, in the Argus. All was quiet at Buenos Ayres, and the Government bah adopted measures to concentrate the forces and resources of the countries on the La. Plata, in the event of any landing of European troops. C. A. Rod- ney, Esq., had recovered from a very severe indispesition, and was considered out of danger when Alr. Cox left that country." " BERx uJDA.-By an arrival at Norfolk-, Bcrmuda Gazetes to the 3d inst. have been received, by which it appears that the troops stationed there were fast imbibing the same hostile temper that the Governor bad long meiiifested towards the people of that island- The Commissariat had formally withdrawn its patronage from the Gazette, as is intimated, in consequence of its uncourteous language respecting their master, Governor Lumley. " PIATrES HANGED.-The Captain of the brig Jane, arrived at Boston from St. Croix, reports that information was received there on the 30th nlt. from St. Thomas's, of an American brig and a Spanish schooner having been boarded on the 24th in Sail Rock Passage, by an open boat full of pirates, and all hands murdered except a boy, who saved his life by swimming, being near Porto Rico. He reached land, and gave information. The next day the pirates began to circalate the money which they took from the ves- sels, in Porto Rico, and were apprehended, confessed their guilt, and seven were hanged." IFrom the Guiana Chronicke of March 24.1 " We are sorry to learn, by a private letter dated February 13, that intelligence had reached St. Vincent's of Lieutenant-Colone Dawson having been put to death in St. Domingo, whither he had gone on a Visit, through the agency of the Governinent of that island, in consequence of a aspicion attached to him of being a. spy.

Insolvent Debtors' Court,...
The Times, 1824-07-28T00:00:00

J. 11. Pearce was opposed by AMr. PoLirocK on behalf of several creditors. It appeared that the Insolvent was a tailor, carrying on business in a limited way at Staines, and in the course of nine months received cloth from ltessrs. Smith ahd Perry to the amount of 2821., at a tiine when another creditor held his warrant of attor. ney, and when he was unable to take up his bills regularly. It did not appear, however, that he had made any misrepresentation to ob. tain credit, or had even solicited it; but he had been swindled out of 1001. worth of goods by a person wlho represeated hiniself to be tho private secretary of the Aiarquis of Conynghamn, and who was re- manded by this C ourt for 18 nmonths a few weekcs ago. The COURT observed, that they always drew a distinction be- tweena caseof fraudulent misrepresentation andone ia whichthe in- solvent had been incautious in incurring debts, without a reasonable prospect of being able to meet them. In the present case, the insol- vent had not been guilty of any misrepreaeutation whatever; but he had certainly contracted this debt with Mlessrs. Smith and Perry, without a reasonable expectation of being able te repay it. Hewv- ever, he had already been in close confinement for a considerable length of time, and the judgment of the Court was, that he should not be discharged out of custody at thc stit of Messrs. Smith and Perry for nine calendar months front the date of filing his petition; of w hich periodl snly about six weeks remainedi unexpired. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COMRT. 'fvTqT-AVT .rTTrv e

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,-The assistance which your excellent paper afferds on ery occasion to prevent the public from being plundered, will, .t am con_ vinced, procure the insertion of the following statement.- saving occasion to go to Turaham-green, in a hackney-coacb, last week, on paying the toll at Hyde-parkcorner gate to Levy, the collector, my sister who was witlh iue asked-bim for a ticket, on which he men. tioneudsomelettertothe coachman,badhim driveon,andretiredhastily into.the toll-houst. On my etting to the Kensington.gatee (the gate near Lord Holland's, au, the ptk which the Hyde-park gate deara,l the toll was again demanded. On mry teDing the man that the totl bad becn paid to Levy, who, though asked for, had walked away owithst giving the ticket, and that if it was in. sisted on, I -would pro&eed against Levy, I. was let through. The rcawon for Levy having walked of without giving the- ticket was tlus rendered apparent. On my going again to Turn. ham-green this week, on paying the toll to Sheldrick, another collector at Hyde-pqrk-correr, he was retiring 'into the' toW. house as rapidly as his brother Levy, but on my calling hinm back he with semingreluctance gaveaietheticketfortbe day. Ongit. ting to Kensinaton gate, the toll was again demanded, and the mai, unsatisfied with the dav.letter, said he-rmust see the day.ticket, but w.hen it was produced, his countenance expressed much morc auy. prise than delight; as, -no doubt, he did not expect that his &rethren it Ifyde.park-corner-gate had furnished me with any.

WVe received! last nighit NAewv Yorkc papers to the a2d. ult., being four days later thaii thc last paLkCt to Liverpool. They contain no additional news from Peru, hut merely republish the circular from Truxillo, announcinlg the dc- fectioll of OLANETA from the Royal cause, wlhich had been received at Guayaquil, as w'ell as a& Panaina. Much space is occupicd in the New York papers, by the details of GenIeral LAFAYETTE'S reception in the Uniitedt States. He was wvelcome(d by deputations from nearly all classes of the commaunity, andl in a very particular manner by the mem- bers of the American bar. WVc subjoin a few extracts from thc papers: " NEV SYORK, AUG. 20. " It apFears by Bogota papers to the 1st of July, that the treaty between the Governments of Colombia and Buenos-Ayrcs had iicI; ratified. The best understanding cxisted between the British agents and the Government; and, from thc whole complexion of the pa- pers, it is apparent that the la: ter cntertains no apprehensions as to the formal acknowledgment by the former of the independence of thc Republic. Every where the highest respect was uniformly cx. pressedl for the United States, and admiration of our public insti- tutions. " In order that-nothing should. bc wantisg to enable Bolivar to com)plete the important measure of' destroying royalism in Peru. the Colombian Government had decreed, independent of the ordinary taxes, an extra coniributioi, whichi was leTied on all tlte citizens, male and female, and oii the publicbodies, not even esrepling the cler- gy. Every individual had to paya quarter of adollar, and peopile of propertytlhcsaniesumactditional on e v ery t)l dlollaers, capical over 50 dol1lars. This contribution seems to have been checrfully subimitted to. A proposition was about to be laid before Congress toabolish the per. petuity of the vows of females who take the veil ; anti tO allow them, attthc end of every third or fouirthl year, to renew lhem, or re- turn to society. The Bogota papers contain a powcrful appeal on this subject to the Legislature. " The C?:ose1slon Pa&it of the 12tb i,stant mentions the ar- rival at that port of a schooner, in five dlays, from .Alatanzas, the Captain of whichi stated, that thecSpanish armed brig fifarinern, withi a crew of 8'0 men, from Cadiz fer Havannah, fell in whih the Colombian armied schooner Genteral Padilla, on the lot inst., off Salt Key Bank, zani hbotih vessels engaged1 for hlalf an holnr, wvhen the Pldilb hatauled off, andl imiicdiately afterthte Spanish brig blew up. '1'he Padilla's lboats succetied in saving :3t of the SipaniNt brig's crew, whiichi slic sent into Matanzas on the 2d inst. in a droger."

Hias Ecelxlecy Count Ludoft, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of His Britannic Majesty, has trans. nmIt t to the Royal lovernment an authenticated copy of the act of consignment in the Bank of England. of the contract signed on the IS,h of May, in thc present Year 1824, by his Majesty the Kingour Lord, for the loan of 2,500,0601. sterling, and a copy of the corres- povding contract entered into on the 2:d of February, with ctr. N. MR Pothschild, bv his Excellency the Chevalier de .fedici, Coun cillor Minister ofStat, Secretary of State for the Finance Depart- r.-ent, expressly authorized by his Majesty, in the said act. The above-mentioned loan is represented bv 25,000 special bonds of 1051. hterling, hearing an interest of 5 per cent. per annutn. Each bond is accompanied bv 72 bills for half vearly interest. These are payable on the I st of Pebruary and the Ist of August, in each year, at the bank of N. M. Rothschild, in London; they will also be re. <civcd as money at the expiration of the rcspective half-years, or in the coursc of them (deducting, however, a discount ot 4 per cent. per annum) at all the public offices of Napies and in its environs. There will be employed as a. sinking-ftnd en thle capital of 250.0001. -terling, a fund in each half year of not less than 12,5001. sterling. being a hund of not less than one per cent. per annumii. The sinking fund will be gradually augmruented by the regular hailf-yearly payrents to the bank of Afr. N.. Mrt. Rothschild, as if the amount of the bonds had not been succMssively diminishe(d by the ,aid augmenting sinking-fund, as well by the liquiidation of the bonds at Naples. or at other places, as by the redemption of the capital by rneans of a firage palbliquec. Afterwards the debt accruing from the loani of 2,500,0001. sterli4g will be redeemed iu the course of thirty-six years. His Majesty has condescended to grant, on account of the loan, ScAides hiM own Sovereign guarantee, a inortgage on all the property end revenucs of the state, and the same guarantees and prerogatiyes whiclh are, and which may be, granted for the reniles inscribed in t'ie Great Bo6':& and furtber, for the more perfect security of the sinrking-fsund, of tihe capital, and of the paynient of the interest, his lM4e'S has b=ee pleased to grant for this loan a special mortgage on ts.L- 6dw3zl receipts of the customs, of the grants and the rights re- scved to the Crown.-Giornalc del Regnto del D,ue Sicilic.

By the Leeds packet, arrived at Liverpool, papers liom New York to the 5th ult. have been received; but they eontain no additional intelligence from Peru which pos- sesses any claim to authenticity. Accounits had been re- ceived from Maraeaibo, dated the 21st of September, of a second battle having been fought with the Royalists, in| which BOLIVAR gained a complete victory, with the loss of I -6,OO0men; but as they rest oil the authority of letters from Bogota, written as far back as the 22cl of August, later dates than. which have been received in England, they are clearly entitled to no credit. The question respecting the con- test in Peru is, in fact, left precisely where it was by the pre- ceding arrivals from New York. The widow and family of the unfortunate ITURBIDE landled at Barataria, in Loui- siana, on the 29th of September, whence they proceeded for New Orleanis, where they arrived early in October. 31adaM ITURDIDE, who was in a delicate state ef health, intended remainiag a few weeks in the neighbour- hood of New Orlean, and wvhen sufficiently recoveredl to bear the fatigue of travelling, proceed througlh the wvestern country for a northern port, and thence embark for Europe.

FORTUNATE ESCAPE.-A few days since, as MfIr.

A petition from the President and Directors of the Bcl. fast Academical Institution, with the iMIarquis of DOWN- SaIRE at their head, was last niglht presented to the House of Commons. The prayer of the petition is, that instructions may be given tc the Commissioners now4 about to inquire into thz state of education throughout Ireland, directmng them to examine into the lutility, administration, andresources of the above-mentioned institution. The design wvith wvhich this seminary was establisied appears to be that of providing well-qualified ministers for the Presbyterian Cburch-a large majority of Protestants throughout the North of Ireland being members of that, communion. Now, as a large sum is annually grantetd by Parliament for educating the Irish Roman Catholie Priests, we really do not see hoNv the public money can be employed with justice for such an object, if it cani with justice be refused to the prayer of the Protestant Dissenters. The policy, moreover, of bringing up the Presbyterian clergy at- homne, though not so obvious as that of withdrawing theF Catholic Priests from foreign connexions, is not less cogent withl a view to the general diffusion and advancement of learning among the commercial people of the North of Ireland.

The Lord Frobart packet has arrived from Brazil vwith letters from Rio of the 19th of April; from Bahia of the 4tk of May; and from Pernami*co of the 12th of May. It has been already stated that the EmpEnoit took the 6at}h to the nidw consiitution on ihe 25th of Marcl. As if the Brazilians were aware of the misebiefs that have recently sprung frem feminine intrigue in the mother country, the EmPREais is made to take an oath likewise, in whlicl she promises obedience to the EM3PEROR. OATH OF THE EMIPEIOR. "I swear to maintain the Catholic Apostolic Roman reigion, th integrity and indivisibility of the Emipire, to observe, and cause to be observed,as the political constitution of the Brazilian nation, the pro. ject of a Constitution wbich I ofiered, and which the nation accept- ed, and requested that it might be immediatelv sworn to as the Con- stitution of the empire: r swear to observe, and cause to be observ- ed, all the laws of the empire, and to promtote the general welfare of Brazil to the utmost of my power.

" I swear on the Holy Gospel, to obey and to be faithful to the Political Constitution of the Brazilian nation, to allits laws, aid to the-Constitutional Emperor, the Perpeiual Defender of Brazil, Pedro L." An Imperial decree was issued ons the 3d of April, which ordains that "r henceforward the Judges, of all classes, are to state in the sentences passed by them, the grounds on which they are founded, that the parties, kno'wing, the rea-. soni of the sentence, mav either be .tisfied, or be enabled to findl grounds for the ippeal which they are entitled tLo make."

Not a vessel enters our port tnat ttoes not connrm tre news . destruction ot the gyptian fleet by Admiral Misaulis. It is uni- versally believed that the Pacha has always intended to deceive the Divan of Constantinople; but we mav believe that he wished to conquer the Alores, or at least the island of Candia, on his own aC- count, when wae look to the amount of the forces whichi he had Put to sea. The statement of the amount of the armament comes from Alexandria in a way we can relv upon. It consisted of 54 ships of war, of 46 to 16 guns, 52 Egyptian transports, and 91 others, chartered by EuropeasiA. The troops embarked consisted of 19,200 men. The plague had begun to consume them before the fire-ships of the Greeks reduced them to ashes. The Biale, in reference to an article in the Mornfrug C7sron:ilc, svhich asserts that the French agents in the Arcbipelago had been hostile to the Greeks, conformably to instructions transmitted to thern, says-" It is not true that prance has been hostile towvards the Greeks. Her ships and her Consuls have aided them wherever ihey could; and her counsels, in accordance with those of Europe, only tend to put an end to the most horrible of wars, which recals to mind the wars of Paganism-the wars of extermination."
