frg-tefrnrgmg attft Ctmrsftag'g Uoøtø. LONDON, AUGUST 9. THE Paris Jonrnals of Saturday and Sunday have been received. On Friday a Conference of the Ambassa- dors from Great Britain, Austria, Russia, and Prussia, and the French Ministers for Foreign Affairs (Sebastiani), and the Interior (M, Perier), took place at the office of the latter, where the views of the French Government with respect to Belgium were laid before the Ambassadors of the Four Great Powers. These were explicitly stated to be—that the F rench droops were to enter Belgium solely to re-establish the ar- mistice; and that the instant the troops of the King of Holland should be driven from the Belgic territory, the French army would evacuate the country, and that not a single soldier of the French army should enter any one of the Belgic fortresses. With these assurances the Ambassadors expressed themselves perfectly satisfied; and suspicion and alarm were superseded by confidence and feelings of amity and security that the peace of Europe generally would not be disturbed The French have laid an embargo 011 aH Dutch vessels at Dunkirk and elsewhere. By an express from Brussels we learn than an armistice of48hourshasbeengrantedattheintercessionof the French envoy, by the commander of the citadel at Antwerp, to the inhabitants of that city; and it seems also likely to be pro- tected by a British fleet, as that commanded by Sir Edward Codrington is immediaiely ordered to be in readiness in the Downs. Nothing but skirmishing has yet taken place be- tween the Dutch and Belgian troops. Several villages have been taken and pillaged by the Dutch, who are represented as committing every devastation in their power. King Leopold is near the theatre of war, and using great exertion to organize his troops. The Prince of Orange had assumed the Chief Command, and, in the face of these atrocities, published a manifesto to the country people, assuring them that he meant to protect their property, his father's only object being to secure a separation upon fair terms. The greatest enthusiasm continued to prevail amongst the Belgian soldiers, but their army is said to be in a sad state of disor- ganization. "War to the knife," is their cry. The latter journals state that official intelligence had been received by the King of Holland of the loss of Batavia, and its submission to the Belgic part of his Asiatic force. No particulars are stated; but the loss of Batavia may be considered as the loss of the whole of the important Island of Java. The latest accounts respecting Poland exhibit no new movement on the part of either the Russian or Polish troops. Both apparently remain in the same positions; and it would, in consequence, seem as if the immense Russian army col- lected under the command of Marshal Paskewitsch had, all at once, been paralysed by some extraordinary cause. The intelligence respecting the Cholera from Russia is very favourable. At Riga there were no deaths. AtMemelonly a few. Some riots had taken place in enforcing the regula- tions respecting health. At Archangel and St. Petersburgh the disease had considerably subsided, and the symptoms had changed to a typhus character.

flogtgrtfpt. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, ApG. 10. THE Paris Papers of Monday announce that the French army crossed the frrntiers on Sunday morning at day-break, full of martial enthusiasm, and were received by the Bel- gians in a corresponding spirit of great exultation. If the Dutch persist in obedience to the order of their King to move forwards," they will soon meet the French army, and experience a warmer reception than they have lately been accustomed to. In the meantime we learn that the Dutch are making the best use of the advantage obtained by the first onset. The Belgian pickets are driven in at all points. The French Government have issued a circular, for- bidding maritime operations against the Dutch, unless occa- bidding maritime operations against the Dutch, unless occa- sion be given for reprisal. It is the expectation of the Go- vernment that the war will be of short duration, and they therefore wish to confine its sphere of action to the land. Curiosity is now turned to Prussia, on whose conduct de- pends the question ofpCcCe or war. Accounts have been received from Warsaw, which state that the Polish Government have received, for the first time, an official communication from the French Government, in which they advise and recommend to the Polish Commander- in-Chief not to risk a general battle with the Russians; and at the same time the French Government will use every en- deavour to mediate for the settlement of the affairs of Po- land. The above account states that 270 pieces of cannon are placed on the fortifications of Warsaw, which are now rendered almost impregnable. Although it is stated that the Russians have crossed the Vistula with 60,000 men, the Poles do not fear them if they had double the number. In the HOUSE OF LORDS, on Monday, Lord Wynford mentioned that he had a Bill ready prepared for extending the principle of the Tithe Composition Bill to lay impropria- tion But he thought it desirable that the Most Reverend Prelate's (Archbishop of Canterbury) Bill should pass the Committee before his Bill was brought in and he now gave notice that when the Most Reverend Prelate's Bill should have passed the Committee he would introduce his Bill. In the LORDS, last night, the Marquess of Londonderry, in moving for all the papers relating to the negociations on Belgium and Holland, as far as the same could now be pro- duced without injury to the public, made a long, rambling speech, into which he contrived to introduce the services of his great departed relative—the reception given by allparties to that relative on his return from Vienna—abuse of the Re- volution of July—abuse of the Reform Bill—abuse of tke Belgians—abuse of the French Government, mixed up with an abundance of common-place political gossip -Earl Grey said he had never heard a motion brought forward for which less Parliamentary grounds were laid, and it was a motion that must lead to a discussion that might do infinite mischief in the critical circumstances of the country. If in the Noble Earl's (Marquess) opinion it was wise to plunge the country at once into war, he must say that he had never heard a speech better calculated to attain that object." His Lord- ship said it was his anxious wish that the continuance of peace would be the result of the negociations now on foot. He should not avoid the responsibility of explaining these negociations when the time arrived; but unless their Lordships were pre- pared to address the Crown to disnrss the present Ministers, they would not, he was sure, add to the difficulties of what the Noble Earl himself called an embarrassing situation, when negociations were going on full of complexity and difficulty, by calling for papers, and they would place that confidence in Ministers which was usually placed in them."—The Duke of Wellingtonseemed to question the prudence of the conduct of the King of Holland, though he had afair right to complain. But the principal point in his Grace's speech was a charge against the Secretary of War, that he had received on Wed- nesday a communication from the King of Holland, in which the King stated that he was willing to negociate, but that he should support his negociations par moyens militaires. He should be glad (he said) to know why such measures could not be taken on that day as to prevent the movement of the French troops toward s the frontiers—(Cheers.)—Instead of this, however, it appeared that the letter was allowed to be unopened till the Thursday, by which means all this oppor- tunity for explanation was lost." The Loid Chancellor defended Ministers from the charge of the Noble Duke, in the following words:— What did the charge of the Noble Duke amount to? 'If the Secre- tary of State had been more alive to his duty, and not kept this sealed note in his pocket for twenty-four hours, all mistake would have been at an end about the termination of the armistice-if the letter had been opened in time, there was no saying what benefit might not have been derived in stopping the march of the French army! He, however, begged leave to state some slight doubt as to the correctness of this view and this on the simple ground, that of all those who had read the letter, not one had so interpreted it—(A laugh.J—Nor was this obtusenes8 peculiar to this country alone; for all the Ambassadors in Holland had read it, and not even there-not even in that Boeotian air was there one Minister able to understand it in the way in which the Noble Duke would have them understand it. So much, then, for the distinctness of this letter.—( Cheers. J—But even supposing that it had been so inter- preted, how it was to prevent the march of the French surpassed his knowledge for if it was indeed a notice, orders were given to the Dutch army to pass the positions before this letter left the Hague so that long before any step cuuld be taken here the mischief was done. And, after all, so little had the interest of this country suffered by the non opening of the letter, that within half an hour of the communication of our Am. bassador, the proper steps were taken-(Hear, hear, front Lord Lon- donderry)-the proper steps were taken but if the Noble Earl thought that he was going to tell him what those steps were, the Noble Earl-as was often the case wilhhim-was reckoning without his host.—(A laugh. The Learned Lord in justifying our conduct in the case of Holland, condemned in strong terms the conduct of the King" If (he said) there was any sovereign so lost to a sense of the duty he owed to his people—the duty he owed to his kind—if there were any so smitten with the monstrous, unholy, cruel, blood-thirsty selfishness of making war for the purpose of conquering a province, or any war not called for by extreme necessity, and sanctioned by perfect justice, that Sovereign would neither deserve the respect nor vene- ration which he for one would be willing to offer to a Monarch ready to sacrifice his personal feelings for the preservation of the order, liberty, and peace of society. — (Cheas. )" Lord Holland, in a short, but most animated speech, laid bare the motives of the Opposition. "If the Noble Lords carried their object, he said it meant war! war! war! and nothing but war; and not simply war between Belgium and Holland, but an anti-revolutionary war. In moving for these miserable papers, it was quite clear the object of the Noble Lord was to creatediscoiitentin Courts, in individuals, and throughout the country. The fact was, that the Noble Lords were themselves for war.-( No, no.)-If they denied this, it must be said at the expense of their understandings. If the motion of the Noble Lord succeeded in occasioning a change of Government, the inevitable consequence would be war." There certainly seems little necessity for fanning the flames of discontent on the Continent. r, In the HOUSE OF COMMONS, on Monday, Lord Palmerston in answer to a question by Lord G. Bentinck, corroborated the statements in the French journals, that the occupation of Belgium by French troops would only continue during the period of the Dutch invasion, after which they would retire.—In the Committee on the Game Laws Bill, Lord Althorp moved several judicious resolutions, among them were, first, that 21. license should privilege to sell game," secondly, that the Bill now before the House should take effect twenty days after it had become law." After some desultory and unimportant discussion, both these propositions were agreed to. Several amendments were afterwards moved, and among the number was one excluding innkeepers, publicans, coachmen, guards, and carriers from being en- titled to have certificates for the sale of game. On one particular clause, which his Lordship proposed, for inflict- ing on persons who should lay nets on Sundays, and should use poison for the purpose of destroying game, a fine of 51. Colonel Sibthorpe proposed that the punishment should be increased for each offence, and urged a protracted imprison- ment for the third otfence,-This amendment was consi- dered as unduly increasing the severity of the laws, and was negatived.Lord Althorp then said that it was hardly possible to expect that the bill would be in operation before the shooting season. Still, however, he should wish to try the experiment of the Bill during so large a portion of the shooting season as possible and he should therefore move, that in the clause relating to the time of the Bill coming into operation, there should be inserted words to the effect that it should come into operation on the 20th day after it had passed. Several clauses of the Bill were then earned.— The Chairman reported progress, and asked leave to sit again on Wednesday.—Agreed to The Vestries' Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday se'nnight. In the COMMONS, last night an Hon. Member presented a petition, signed by 10,000 persons, praying that Merthyr Tydfil might not be united with any other place.—In the Committee the Reform Bill was again discussed, but made less progress than it has done. — Sir it Vyvyan postponed his intended motion on the question of Belgium to Thursday night. He did so at the request of Lord Palmerston, and on the ground that no answer had yet been received from the King of the Netherlands to the communications made by the British Government touching the late events. The Reform Bill may now be said to be virtually carried in the Commons. Four clauses in the Bill were cleared on Saturday. The preparations for the Coronation are proceeding with amazing rapidity, and the interior of Westminster Abbey now presents the appearance of a forest of beams. One hundred men are daily employed Their Majesties will, after the Coronation, ruralize at Brighton for some time. Sir Edward Codrington's fleet will immediately take up its station in the North Sea. The Britannia, 120, after com- pleting her provisions and stores, sailed this morning from Portsmouth to join Sir Edward, whose fleet will be unusually formidable in three-deckers of the first rate. Leopold the first, King of Belgium, exceedingly distin- tinguished himself by his bravery in the battle of Waterloo. The Dn-ke of Wellington spoke highly of his intrepidity and valour, both in his dispatches and in conversation after the battle. Consols declined on Friday to 801, and became more de- 2 pressed on Saturday morning, the quotation being as low as 79f they afterwards rallied, in consequence of Lord Pal- merston's declarations in the Commons that nothing has yet happened which led him to think the negociations going on to preserve peace between Belgium and Holland would not be successful," and closed at 80f. At the Court Martial held, by order of the Lords of the Admiralty, on Saturday, at Woolwich, on board the Royal Yacht William and Mary, for the trial of Lieut. Symonds, Commander of his Majesty's steam-vessel Meteor, Mr. J. A. ^'Kay, second Master, and Mr. Becket, pilot, for running the Harlequin Margate steam-packet on shore, thereby en- dangering the lives of the numerous passengers on board, evidence clearly established that all blame rested with the Harlequin, which went close in shore, though going with the tide, and the parties were honourably acquitted. The Lord Lieutenant has dismissed from the Yeomanry corps every member who has been proved to have taken part in the Orange processions of the 12th ult. EXECUTIONS.—On Friday, Richard Cooling and Thomas Molley were executed at Lincoln, for setting fire to a beast shed.—Wm. M ukham and Wm. Smith have been executed at Aylesbury for burglary.—George Gilchrist, lately con- victed of robbing the Glasgow Commercial Bank-box of 57121. on its way by the Prince Regent coach, from Glasgow to Edinburgh, suffered the extreme sentence of the law on Wednesday, at the usual place of execution, head of Libber- ton's Wynd, Edinburgh. MR. WELLESLEY.—Sir Edward Sugden applied on Thurs- day to the Court of Chancery, for an order calling on Mr. Wellesley to place his son as well as his daughter within the jurisdiction. The order was granted. It seems Mr Courtney saw little Miss Wellesley at Paris, and she expressed a wish to return to her aunt's, provided she might now and then see her father. Sir Edward also put in a copy of a letter from Mr. Wellesley, to the following eitect:— "Fleet Prison, July—,1831. Courage and Perseverance. Here I am in a gaol; and here I will rot before I will deliver up my child. Mr. W. sent an affidavit on Saturday to the Court, stating the above letter to be a forgery. THICK OF STOCKS.- iThtirs.

Valuable ?AFEE MILLS, With excellent DWELLING-HOUSE, OFFICES, J-c. well situated for Business, and also embracing extraordinary ad- vantages of situation as a Family Residence, with early possession, if desired. —— TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION, a By Mr. COLLINS, At the SWAN HOTEL, in WELLS, in the County of Somerset, ort MbN D A Y, the 15th day of AUGUST, 1831, at one for two o'clock precisely (subject to such conditions as shall be then produced), ALL those capital and extensive PAPER MILLS, known by the name of WOOKEY-HOLE MILLS with the desirable FAMILY RESIDENCE adjoining, now in- the occupation of Mr. Snelgrove, situate in the village of Wookey- Hole, distant about two miles from the city of Wells, and .about twenty from Bath and Bristol. 0,. THE MILLS Contain two Vats with Engines, Presses, Size-house, commodious Lofts, Stoves, &c. and every suitable convenience for carrying on an extensive manufacture of the BEST WRITING PAPERS. THE DWELLING-HOUSE Is well adapted for the residence of a Family, and, with the Garden, Yard, Cottages, Stables, Offices, &c. attached and de- tached, will be found to comprise every desirable accommodation, as well for tie purposes of business, as of domestic comfort. The Mills are well known in the Trade, and have been long noted for the superior quality of their Manufacture.

The mention of this great natural curiosity will remind those who are ac- quainted with the spot, of the extraordinary beauty of the ad- joining and surrounding country, and if such were not obviously a minor consideration with persons desirous of an investment for the profitable employment of Capital in business, the situation of these Premises would afford a theme upon which it would be easy to descant, but difficult to exaggerate.

TRURO QUAY DUES.—At the Cornwall Assizes this case came on on Wednesday morning-, before Mr. Justice Alderson and a Special Jury.—Mr. Sergeant Wilde stated the case —The plaintiff's were the Mayor and Capital Burgesses of the Borough of Truro, and the action was brought to recover from the defendant, Mr. Reynalds, who is a grocer, residing at that place, a small sum of money, as dues or toll payable upon goods landed at a wharf or quay belonging to the Corporation The toll claimed was upon 10 sacks of flour, at one penny each sack; therefore, the sum sought to be recovered was only ten-pence. It might be readiiy supposed that it was not the value of this small sum only that was at issue in fact, the parties came before the Court to decide on the right of the Corporation to exact these tolls. The wharf or quay which belongs to the Corporation had been used, time out of mind, as a place for landing goods; nor was there any record to shew that it had ever belonged to any other person than the Corporation. Therefore, the foundation of the present claim was the same as that on which the most valuable property in the kingdom rested—user or prescription.- The origin of the Tolls in question appeared to have been a .grant from the Crown, by which the owners of property devoted to public use were secured a fair compensation. In order to prove a right by prescription, it was necessary to shew that it had been exer- cised beyond the time of legal memory that is, prior to the reign of Richard the First. In a usage or right enjoyed anterior to that time, the law will presume a legal origin. All, therefore, that he had to do was to shew that this toll had been collected for such a period as led to the presumption that it had such a legal origin. There was no doubt the quay belongs to the Corporation, and even if the defendant should succeed in shewing that this was not a public landing place, the extremely moderate toll now collected by the Corporation would be immediately increased, and the quay converted into private property, by which the right of the inhabitants of Truro to land goods upon it would be at once destroyed.—He should be able to shew that the right to demand these tolls had its origin a long time ago, the contrary whereof could not he shewn that they had been let by the Corporation for upwards of tWD centuries, and how long before was uncertain; be should also be able to shew that Truro had been a Town Cor- porate for a long time in fact, much earlier than most of the Corporations in England. It was enfranchised as early as the reign of Stephen.—This being done, the case would be put on the simple ground of usage. A charter granted to Truro by Reginald Earl of Cornwall was put in and read it bore no date, but was supposed, on strong grounds, to have been granted in the reign of Henry the First.— Another charter granted in the reign of Edward the Third was also put in —The town-book was then produced the entries commenced with those of 1637. from which it appeared that on the 19th of November, annually, a public survey was held for letting the quay-dues. The sum for which they were let was stated, and the entries were signed by the takers.-Several other ancient documents were also produced. A great number of witnesses were called, to shew that they had invariable paid the dues now claimed by the Corporation, and some witnesses were produced who proved the receipt of the rent of the Quay-dues by the Corporation that the Corporation had always repaired the quay, and that the ground around it was also theirs.—This closed the case for the plaintiffs. Mr. Selwin addressed the Jury for the defendant; he con- tended that whatever right the Corporation might have to take toll for goods landed at the quay, by persons not resident in the Borough, the Inhabitants or Burgesses were exempt, by a Char- ter granted by Queen Elizabeth, according to which the Inha- bitants of the Boroughs were Burgesses. This charter was now the governing charter of the Borough, and to shew that by it all persons resident within the Borough were freed from quay-dues, ne quoted several passages and argued on them. According to this charter, he contended, the words" Burgenses Inhabitantes" meant the inhabitants of the borough generally, and he particularly dwelt on the clause which exempts such inhabitants from all the Stallage, Preage, Quayage, Cranage, &c., throughout England, except in the port of London This clause, he contended, ex- empted the inhabitants of Truro from the payment of the toll de- manded by the Corporation.—On concluding his address, the learned Gentleman put in a copy of the Charter which was read nearly at length, and being in Latin, was compared with a trans- lation of it in print. Mr. Sergeant Wilde replied, and contended that tlie charter of Elizabeth could not annul a prescriptive right, and therefore it could not exempt the inhabitants, or annul the privileges or right of the Corporation. His Lordship summed up the case at considerable length, ap- plying the law as he went along he laid it down as law, that if the right to take toll was prescriptive, it must have had its origin before the time of Elizabeth, and that being the case, the right could not be affected or taken away by the charter of that Queen for no Sovereign of England had legal power to take away a right granted by a predecessor. This was the rule of law on the case, and he left it to the Jury to say whether the prescriptive right had been established. After consulting together for about a minute, the Jury returned a verdict for the piaintiffs-damages, tenpence.- this verdict es- tablishes the prescription, The Mayor and Capital Burgesses of Truro v. Jas. Bastian.- This was an action of the same nature as the last, and was brought ill order to recover the sum of ten-pence, being 6d. for a butt of ,currants and 4d. for a puncheon of molasses, for quay-dues.— The defendant is a Merchant and carries on business at Truro as a wholesale grocer. The right of the Corporation to quay-dues, by prescription, having been established by the verdict in the last trial, the defence in this case was, that they had varied the tariff of quay-dues and increased their demands. To prove this different witnesses were produced, and a printed paper, said to have been issued upwards.of 50 years ago, by the then Mayor, announcing an increase of the tariff was put in, but it could not be proved that it was issued by order of the Mayor.—Mr. James John proved that by order of the late Thomas John, Esq. then Town Steward, the tariff of dues was increased; but on notice of such increase being given to the traders of Truro, they met, protested against the increase, and the addition was abandoned. —Mr. John Cuming proved that dues at per Winchester Bushel, had been demanded of him for apples imported that be remon- strated and insisted the dues should be reckoned by the Cornish bushel, of three Winchesters, and that the collector of the dues had agreed to calculate them by the Cornish bushel, provided he ,said nothing about it, as other persons might demand a similar reduction on other articles.—The collector, Mr. C. Sholl, said he had no recollection of such a condition, but that as apples were 0 not mentioned in the tariff, he was compelled to make the best arrangement he could.—Mr. Sergeant Wilde strongly commented on this agreement, as shewing that provided each individual could save himself, lie was wiiling to allow his neighbours to be fleeced at the pleasure of the collector.—His Lordship, in sum- ming up, stated that though it was proved attempts had been made by different persons to increase the tariff, no evidence had been adduced to shew that any such increase had been paid in fact, the traders of Truro had protested against the increase and it had bei-n given up. But even supposing such increase had been exacted, the amount of such exaction could be recovered by law-for he would tell the Corporate Body, that they could not, in any case, augment the original tariff, whatever it might be But even if the exaction had been obtained, it would not des- troy the prescriptive right of the Corporation to the regular dnes but only render them liable to refund the overcharge.- Having gone through the evidence, he left the case to the Jury. The Jury retired, and after being shut up for several hours, they returned a verdict for the plaintiffs —damages, tenpence. By these tria!s, two points have been, so far, established.— That where rights are enjoyed by prescription, they cannot be abrogated by a charter subsequently granted, and that no aug- mentation can be made in tolls or dues levied by prescription.
