received by the same conveyance, and which ant roes-' dered interelting by the speculations which they cen t,:in, well or ill-founded, respecting the motives by v:lliCh NAPOLEON is actuated at the present moment, and the result expected from the policy of his arrange ments, They represent the situation of the Austrians 25 at tended with difficulties on every side. It is, they sal, the p o licy of BCNAPARTE to remain at present inactive ; not because he is collecting reinforcements —for he knows that the AItdNDEKE is increasing his army in. a full proportion 3—but because he wishes to give time for the Russians to arrive in the rt , ar of the Austrians. He will then advance and attack the forces of the ARCHDUKI. If he defeats him, his great object will be attained, and the division o f terr itory, as settled between him and ALExAmnra, will be the result. Should he experience a check, similar to that which marked the battle of Essling, the Russian Emperor will appear as Mediator. He As ill assume an imposing attitude, and threaten to n et with efficient and decisive hostility against Austria. The latter will receive speciens offers of advantages and of territorial integrity, on the con di t ion of uniting with France and Russia to compel England to agree to a maritime peace, or in other words, to transfer the dominion of the sea to 80NA... PARTE. _ The same letters express their astonishment at the conduct of our Government in receiving French ma nufactures, wines, brandies, Scc. while none of ours are admitted on the Continent. This, they add, is a system, which proves advantageous to' our enemies, and rulitouc to ourselves. The Leyden Gazette contains a reply to the charges made by the French Journalists against the Dutch writers for propagating false news.—lt is very long, and altogether uninteresting, consisting chiefly of an erumeration of the services rendered by Holland, and professions of her warm attachment to the cause of France. It is not a little surprizing that the Dutch should persevere so obstinately in giving currency to ru m Ars adverse to the French. Is this to be ascribed to the secret bias of their mind—easily crediting what they wish to be true ? or, is it a part of a stockjobbing system, extending its ramifications even to Holland ? We cannot explain the mystery ; but still reports are transmitted from Holland of the French having been defeatel. A Gentleman arrived at Dever from Holland reports, that it was believed in Holland, when he left that country, that the French had been defeated in two actions since the 13th ult.— Do the events recorded in the 19th bulletin relate to either of these ? The Commander of the FURIOUS, arrived at Deal, reports that he spoke a vessel on Friday, two days from Holland, the Master of which stated, that it ins reported that IslApoi.iim had received a dange. rous wound in a battle with the Austrians, and that he was supposed to be dead or a prisoner ! ! —After so many unfounded rumours, few will be found in this country ready to give credit to such a rumour. STAR-OFFICE, TWO O'CLOCK. Since the details from Spam, in the preceding co. hums, were put to press, a telegraphic dispatch was received at the Admiralty, from Plymouth, stating that the french have been driven out of Ferrol and Corunna, and entirely defeated. The Milbank cartel arrived on Friday night at Portsmouth, from Morlair. Colonel WASHINGTON Notrrox, who sailed in her from Portsmouth, with dispatches from the American Government for the French Court, landed there on the 21st ult. but it was with great difficulty that he obtained permission to go on shore. A gentleman who came in the Mil bank, and was in Paris en the 9th June, states, that various private letters were received from the French army, horn which it appears that they had 45,000 of their best troops killed and drowned in the battle of the 22d ; and their loss is so severely felt by the Ens peror, that almost every soldier in France, except some gnu frame:, wifo are detained to bring on the conscripts, are on their march to join the Emperor in Germany. About 180,000 conscripts had been rais ed within the last six months. The same letters state that MANIENA (Duke of &- vol.!) was wounded in the action of the 22d, on the Danube ; and that four Generals of Divisions were killed, and above sixty other Officers of rank were killed and wounded on that day. Of twelve Aides. e.-Camp, who attended Marshal Lames, who was rot tally wounded, and since dead, only one escaped unhurt. BONAPART es favourite corps of Cairamieri, (horiear.ca armed with polished steel coats of mail,) and OUDINoT's division of grenadiers, were almost to a man cut to pieces. The war with Germany, which Was before unpopular, is now cried out against most violently. A grand expedition from England was generally c%::::::tcd to Appear on theFrcnch coast, and was every % , ;:ere spoken of. It was supposed to be intended, in tilt first instance, for Flushing, and Afterwards to go lip the Elba.

We understand that the division of the army from Kent will first go off, and that the " advance of the army," under StrJom Hoes, will make the attempt, and be followed by the body of the army. We believe that it is determined on, that the grand army shall be commanded by Lord CHATHAM. Though he has not been much employed in active service, military men allow that there is no man in the army better ac quainted with his profession than Lord CHATHAM there now occurs a glorious opportunity to signalize ' himself. This morning, at fire o'clock, 532 men, forming companies of the , Coldstream and Sd Regiments of Foot Guards, from Knightsbridge and Portman street Barracks, were drawn up on the Parade in St. James's Park, under the command of Lieutenant-Co lonel 81 - No. They were all tine young fellows, and picked men, several of whom had served in Egypt. As they passed through the Horse Guards, the Life Guards were drawn up, and the populace gave them three cheers. The march of the 77th from Winchester to embark is delayed till next week. The part of the grand expedition which starts from Portsmouth is at present under the command of Ad miral OTWAY and of Sir EYRE COOTE. Saturday the Royal Stan nary Local Militia marched into Plymouth Dock and Plymouth, en permanent duty for 28 days. A detachment of the Royal Artificers corps, at Plymouth Dock, is ordered to prepare for embarka tion, on foreign service. The 2d Royal Lancashire Militia marched into Long Room Barracks, Stonehouse, last week, in seve ral divisions from Hull. The Ist Lancashire, now at Plymouth, march for Bristol, in the ensuing week. The Essex Militia have also marched into Ply mouth garrison. So great is the anxiety of Government to forward the Grand Expedition, that they have proposed to employ foreign vessels as transports. A notification to this effect was made on Saturday. They are to be hired at the rate of 255. per ton, provided they are ready early in the week. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. TORBAY, JULY 1.

OLD Laz.zr. ✓ar 1. NMI Miry mil, who we* apprellebded some time since for maliciously shooting at some risen who were on the outside of her uncle'a palings, in the parish of Sunbury, was put to the bar, in order to take her trial for the offence. She walked into Court in a firm and collected manner, though apparently a little alarmed. She stood capitally indicted, under the statute, commonly called Lord Ellenbonnigh's Art, for that she, having in her hand a loaded gun, did maliciously shoot at Robert Coombe*, with intent him to kill and murder. Robert Coombes deposed he lives at Sunbury, and is a fish monger. On Sunday, the 14th day of May last, about six o'clock in the evening, he was walking in Kempton Park, together with' Joseph Constable, Henry Parker, William Stapleton, and Henry Hanson. He heard a gun go off. He went up to the place whence he thought the shot came. He saw the place in the paling thro' which the ball had passed. The prisoner was standing on the in side, in the premises belonging to her uncle. Mr. Rolfe. She had a gun in her hand. He asked her what she had been doing ? she said she knew perfectly well. He told her she was doing very wrong, and if she were to do it again, be would go over the pal ing and take the gun from her. She had her maid with her, and she asked her what impertinent fellow that was ? and, turning to him, said, " if you do not go about your business, I will take the liberty of firing at you." He said, " You may do as you like, I shall not go." -She directed the gun at him, and snapped it three times, but it would not go off ; she took it from her shoulder, and, opening the pan, found she bad forgot to prime it. She then asked her maid for the powder-horn, which she gave her. She put some powder into the parr, and shut it. He saw all this—he saw the powder. Paiker begged him to get be. hind a tree, or she would shoot bins—he did so. In a few se conds be looked on oae side the tree, and saw the gun directed towards him; when she saw his head she then discharged the gun at him. He imreedi e.ely got over tho paling, and took the gun from her. He then wets_ to the spot where the ball had come through on the first shot—she follewed. He threatened he would take out e warrant against her—she said he might do so if he liked, but she would as soon shoot him as not. He, on the next day, procured a warrant. He did not examine the tree, behind which he had stood. He saw her put shot into the gun—she poured it out of a shot-belt, without measuring it—this was im nsediately before the List time she fired—it was before the gun missed fire. He had no conversation with Cm r risoner, either before or since the transaction took place.—The witness, at the conclusion of his direct examination, presented a paper to the Learned Judge, who, upon lookipg it over, toll him it was of no use upon the present occasion. Previous to his cross-examination by Mr. Gu a ta t Y, Counsel fair Miss Yorke, a model, in wood, of ithe premises, was produced, for the purpose of enabling the Court and hry, by reference to it, to understand the relative situation of the parties. Upon his cross-examination, he said he used to carry ish about the country, in a cart, for the support of an aged father and mother and family. Part of Kempton Park belonged to Mr. Hill, and part to Rolfe. The fence (as marked on the model) divided their grounds. There were trees on Mr. Hill's side of the fence, where he was; they were very large ones, about et feet, or 4 feet in diameter. The tree behind which he got was three yards from the paling, and about 15 from where the Pri soner stood. He was sure he saw her put the powder into the pan out of the powder-born. Parker and he afierwatds went to the George puhlic.house in the neighbourhood; he did nor send Parket to the Prisoner for the purpose of extorting money from her. He took the. gun to the public-house—be afterwards re turned anti took the piece of paling the ball had gone through, and put another in its plane. He was positive he used no ill lan stage whatever to Miss Yorke, or any other than what he had already stated. He believed he threw a piece of the paling at her, after she bad fired at him, being apprehensive she was about to load the gun again. He took out the warrant the following day, (Monday), on Tuesday a hearing was appointed at Bow-street,' foe the Friday following. He came to town on that day, but did not appear before the Magistrate ; lw denied he received any money for the purpose of absenting himself, but did so because he was advised to go home. He did quarrel with Parker on their way home and stript to fight with bins, but it was not about any money. He *did not know that he ever laid any wager that he would convict Miss Yorke, but he was told this morning that he bad laid a pot of sixpenny, not that he would convict her, but that' if she was convicted she would be cast for death. He never said he could swear away a life or two. Question by the COURT.—Why did you not get behind the Liege lateen first you saw the gun presented at you ?—Because I was not friginened ; .1 would sooner lose my life than be MO*. toed at or run away front a woman. C.3URT.—Yet at last you condescended to get behind a tree ! . Henry Parker, the next witness, is a carpenter, residing at Sun berg. He was in the park at the time, he saw Miss Yorke in the padlock with a gun in her hand, holding it to her shoulder; she tote: it duwn ; her servant came up with something in her hand, be did not then know what. This was before the first shot was fired. She seemed to prime the piece, and put it to her shoulder again. He walked towards her to see what she was about, and immediately the gun went off ; the ball passed through the paling, two or three paces before him; he saw the dust flyby the hall striking the gravel of the road ; he went up tb her and asked her, whom she was firing at She said it was no business of his. He said she bad like to have shot him as he was passing along the road; she was then in the act of putting powder into the gen ; he saw her do it; she appeared in a passion, and said to him, if he interrupted her in her private walks, she would take the liberty of firing at him ; she lifted thegun, and he got behind a tree ; sham called to the girl fur shot, which she. poured into the gun out of/ the shot-belt—she was still In a passion; at this time Richard Coombes came up ; he said he would get over the paling, and take the gun from her; she asked who he was ? her servant replied, she did not know; she said she would take the liberty of firing at him ; however, Coombes toll her she might fire if she liked ; she took up the piece and aimed at him; she snapped it three times, but it would not go off; she took it from her shoulder, and called to her servant for powder ; she printed it, and presented again at him; the witness then called out to hint, " For Gon's sake get out of the way, or she will blow your brains out." He did so ; he got in a rage, and made a bit of a more front behind the tree, and she fired at him; Coombes then attempted to get over the paling, a piece of it broke in his band, and he threw it at her; he then got over the paling, and the witness, fearing he would be rash, got over also, and laid hold of the gun ; she was In a violent passion • he let go the gun, and Coombes took it from her; she said she fi end at him for trespassing; the witness would have given her the gun back again, but she threatened if she had It she would lire again. Seeing her so rash, he got back again over the paling, and left her there. He saw her two or three times since ; twice at Bow-street °like. He had a conversation with her once. She sent for him to a public-helm at the top of. Bow-street, for the purpose of making it up. She asked him what he would take to snake it up ?• He said he could do nothing; she should have considered before she acted so. She replied," Don't. tell me of before, but what you can do now.".—Coombes was called into the room to her, and he left it. Upon his cross-examination by Mr. I .loeteen ra, he said Coombes was brought in while he was in the room ; he was not in com pany with Coombe* In the Park, but met him . there. 'l'he height of the paling, which he measured, was four feet five inches, and the trees were very large, so as to be capable of protecting any one taking shelter behind them; thirty or forty yards farther back from the paling the shot struck against a tree in the direction, viz.! teen or eighteen ft et from the ground; be himself picked up sonietl pieces of the branches, which he supposed were broken off by the shot; be himself pointed out to Mr. Rolfe afterwards where Coombes stood; he examined the tree, and there was no shot I lodged in it, nor was there any in the paling ; there were several expressions made use of, and there were such things as bad words passed, but not before the gun was snapped; she placed the gun to her shoulder as well as be could. He was at Bow-street on the Friday, but did not come forward to be examined ; Mr. Rolfe had sent Saunders, his steward, to keep him away. He denied receiving any money, but some was forced on his wife; he did not receive £l5, nor any pa-t of it; nor did he say that 410 would not do, but that ;615 would satisfy him; neltbet did he refuse a note on Mr. Rolfe to that amount, saying he must have cash. There was a calculation made of their expences, and the `draft was offered for at, but he refused it. He persisted in de claring he had never received any money. They dead together ' on their way home, and Coorebes and he quarrelled; this was on the Monday. It was not any thing relative to this business they ' quarrelled about; but Coombes .was very drunk; he wanted to get off the grass where he. was lying, arid he ttruckehim. Lavender, the Bow-street Officer, produced the gun, which had bees deposited in bis custody. William Stapleton, Joseph. Constable, and Henry Hanson, merely deposed to some of the most material of the preseding facts. The last witness, upon kis cross examination by Mr. Gur oey, swore, that he went home from. town with Coombes and Parker ; they quarrelled on the way ; the former stript to fight, wad the latter struck bin). He did not know which of them stoke in pertictdar ; but both of three said the ether bad far 111111,11 himself. The conversation began eis:Jut an onelf—i (4 . ter was given to Parker's wife. Coombe", ;routed flee half of Parker was not agreeable to it. His wife had got it, aad he knew nothiag about it. He acid not think either of thsn was b liquor at the time. Here the evidence on the port of the prose7ution closed The Prisofler, upon bring called upon by the C..urt u site chose to say any thing in her defence, &Awed, in so low R tone of voice that it was necessary to repeat it atter her, that she did ant point the gun at Coombe', nor did she intend to hit him; he !And used very gross and insolent language to her, and shentcrely fired the gun with intent to frighten him. Elizabeth Ton, her servant, was stalled ; she was along with her mistress on the Sunday when she fired ; she had no powder and shot till after the first fire; sheherself blotted them to her. The shot was in a belt, but the powder she brought loose in a paper; she swore positively there was . no powder-hor n : H er mistress put the powder into the gun wall bee fingers out of the paper, and the shot out of the belt. Thogetwee no paper put I. between the powder and the shot, naellistshe ever draw the ram. rod (which was now drawn oat of its place in the gun, as proslu• cod by Lavender, and was found to have beet' broken off full four inches short of its length, and of course useless for the put. pose) ; she then snapped it, the muzzle pointing towards the ground. Coombes peeped out from behind the tree, cad said— " You can't fire it, there is nothing in it." To which her Mis tress replied—" If you stand, I will shew you what I Can do."— She then fired. The gun was certainly pointed towards the tree, but she could not say at hint. She did not wait to see the re mainder. Mr. Rolfe, the prisoner's uncle, examined the place as pointed out to him by Parker, and there was no mark of shot either in the tree or in the paling. It was not possible for any one standing where she stood to hoer one situated where Coombes was, over the paling, owing to itt height, four feet nine inches dice?, and nine inches open work at the top, making, in the whole, five fret six inches. The gen itself was of a peculiar construction, so as to prime itself by throwing the powder into the barrel. He was pis. sitive there was no tree nearer than t5O yards, in the direction where Coombes stood, nor did he ever hear of the circumstance of any tree being hit, till he heard it this day stated in Court. He bore testimouy to the character of his niece for good temper. The son of this witness did the same. The Learned Jt'nc& recapitulated the whole of the evidence to the Jury, laying down the law of Lord Ellenborough's Act upon the case, commenting upon it as he went along; and the Jury, without a moment's hesitation, pronounced their verdict—Not Guilty. Miss Yorke then modestly curtsied to the Court, and retired. She was dressed, rather muffled, in black, and was attended into the Court, and during her stay, by a female servant. The Court was crowad at an early bout with an uncommonly genteel usemblage of people, particularly with females of the most beautiful and elegant appearance, litho Sucked there to Wit ness the singular trial of this young Lady. FORGERY.. C. H. Ravenscroft was indicted for uttering a draft for XIS, pt n. porting to be drawn by himself, and accepted by W. 141‘Innerney, and payable at the house of Messrs. Masterman and Co. inWhke Hart-court. It appeared that the prisoner frequented.a Society piling theft , selves Odd Fellows, at a public-house hi Portland-street, and that he went by the appellation of Sir C. H. Ravisseroft. On the 44th of April List he asked Wilson, the landlord, for the loan of 7s. which he readily gave. Shortly afterwards he requested of Wilsoo cash for a draft for £l5, and tendered him the draft in question. Wilson said he had not so much change, but gave him A't in port, requesting him to call next morning tor the remainder. Wilson sent the draft next day to Masterman and Co. and it was duly honoured. The prisoner . did not call for the balance before the lapse of threeweeks, when it was given to him. A Clerk of the house of Masterman and Co. proved the per. ment, and said, that almost immediately after, he suspected it to be a forgery, and upen inquiry of Messrs. M•lnnerney and co. he found his suspicions justified. Mr. M'lnnerney stated, that the prisoner came to his house Its March last, and said be was an Assistant-Surgeon in the Nary, that his mune was Wells, and that he wanted an agent to receive his pay for him. After some conversation, he said he Wanted 201: in part of pay due for his services on board the Ranelagn• gun-brig, which Mr. M'lnnerney advanced him, and, desired his clerk to draw a cheek on his banker as above, and which waa done in the same form as the forged draft. When the prisoner was apprehended, there was found on him a piece of paper, upon Which it appeared he had been practising to write tit words-- µ Payable at Messrs. Masterenan's and Co." and the signature " William M‘lnnerney." In his defence, he said, he had only asked Wilson to lend hint X 2 on the draft, but desired him not to present it for payment. Verdict—Guilty—Death. Two were convicted of felony, viz. Joseth for steal. ing several books , and Bs. in money, the property of R. Acker man; and Ca*h. liirphy, for stealing a quantity of knives and forks, and other articles, the property of 'Messrs. Hale, Holds. worth, and Blizard. _ _ John Minkls, Bride Andrea:, and Ann Field, were acquitted. We understand that the American Consul here has received information from the American Consul at Amsterdam, that the existing state of affairs between the United States and France rendered it hazardous for American vessels, particularly with colonial pro• duce, to proceed at this time to the ports of Ho' ? land, as some which had already arrived were under difficult and embarrassing circumstances. Tobacco and pot-ashes, however, are allowed by law to enter; but on a view of all circumstances, those concerned will judge of the risk they run in proceeding there at this moment. Notwithstanding the refusal of the Sheriff of Essex to call the meeting required to thank Mr. WARDLE, a Meeting was called by the Minority at Chelmsford on Saturday last. The usual thanks were voted to Mr. WARDLE, Sir F. BL'RDETT, &c. and a resolution in fa. your of reform was proposed. One of the resolutions went to censure those who, in their counter-requisi tion, expressed a difference of opinion from the Mi. nority. A bill for one hundred thousand pounds, drawn in favour of JOsEvii BONAPARTE'S Government, has, within these few days, been presented to a great mer cantile house in the city, holding large sums belonging to the legitimate Government of Spain. It was trans. mitted by one of the first houses in Holland. Pay. ment was refused. Miss MEADOWS.--A Coroner's Inquest sat on the body of this young Lady, who was a singer at Covent- Garden Theatre, on Friday, at the Maidenhead, at Battle-Bridge, she hating died suddenly on the pre.. ceding day. The deceased was riding along the Pan. crass Road ox _ a poney, with her father, when she st;d. • denly complained of indisposition, and begged to lie down. A hay-cart was passing at the time, and the young Lady was put into it, when she died in a very short time. Her pain was a kind of spasm in the chest. —Died by the Visitation of GoD.
