29. On the 31st of July an 

 ordinance was issued from Carl- 

 ton-house respecting the changed 

 and improved formation of the 

 High Court of Appeal at Cette. 

 It is increased to the number of 

 one President, two Vice-presi- 

 dents, and 18 Counsellors. The 

 nomination of 6 Counsellors is 

 reserved to the Sovereign; the 

 12 others are filled by the States; 

 and in future those of Hildesheim, 

 Osnaburgh, and East Friesland, 

 " each name one. The regulation 

 that the members must be of the 

 Lutheran religion is abolished ; 

 and, in conformity with the 16th 

 article of the Act of Confedera- 



tion, the Roman Catholics, as 

 well as the professors of the 

 Reformed religion, are declared 

 admissible. Instead of the two 

 divisions hitherto made, there are 

 to be 34 votes, each consisting of 

 one President and six Counsellors. 

 With respect to the relations of 

 the members among each other, 

 it is ordered that, instead of the 

 mode of voting by classes, 

 hitherto employed, the senior of 

 the Nobles shall vote first ; then 

 the senior of the Professional or 

 Learned Class ; then the second 

 of the Nobles ; then the second 

 of the Professional Class ; and so 

 on. 



Gloucestershire Assizes, Monday, 

 Aug. 31. — It is well known that 

 the assizes for this county ought 

 to have been held some weeks 

 ago, but that the lateness of the 

 hour at which Mr. Baron Garrow 

 had arrived from Monmouth made 

 it necessary to renew the com- 

 mission. That renewed commis- 

 sion was opened this morning at 

 9 o'clock by Mr. Justice Holroyd 

 and Mr. Baron Garrow, die latter 

 having arrived last night, and 

 the former having been met at 

 the nearest turnpike on the 

 Tewkesbury road this morning by 

 the High Sheriff and his men.
