THE QUEEN.—FinaI judgment was delivered in this long-litigated case, by the Judges of the Court of Queen's Bench, on Thursday. The present Baron de Bode is the son of the late Baron of the same name, who was born at Neuhoff, in tie principality of Fulda, now part of the electorate of Hesse. and was a Colonel in the Regiment of Nassau Saarbuck German Infantry, in the service of. the King of France. The late Baron married Mary, the daughter of Mr. Thozhas Kinnersley, Loxley-park, in the county of Stafford, and the present Baron, the issue of that marriage, was born at Loxley in 1777, and baptized at Uttoxeter in the following month. At the breaking out of the' French Revolution, the Baron was in possession of the ancient lordship of Soultz.sous.Foret, in Lower Alsace, now forming the department of the Lower Rhine, in the kingdom of France. This lordship was confiscated during the Revolution. At the peace it was stipulated by treaty that all British subjects should be adequately indemnified for their losses  during the Revolution. A large sum of money was paid over to the British Government for that purpose—and the Baron being a British subject, preferred his claim. After an unparalleled course of law, the Baron recovered a verdict in June last year, for the sun, of £364,206, with interest from the Ist January, 1819. The Crown disputed the verdict, and on Thursday the Court delivered judgment, to the effect that the sum which was the subject of the inquiry was not received personally by the Sovereign or by any other pert-on for the personal benefit or use o the Sovereign, and that any argument fo  ed upon the contrary supposition, was inapplicable and invalid. For these reasons the judgment upon the verdict was ordered to be entered for the Crown.  GENERAL MISCELL ANY  Parliament has been further prorogued until the 30th instant.
