In the course of last week a large proportion of royal marine artillery were embarked in the different ships in the river, to proceed on the expedition_ under Lord EXNIOLTII. Four detachments were embarked on board bombs, and the rest are to be employed as a rocket brigade, under the command of Captain C. F. ruierom, and in howitzer and mortar boats. It was, stated, a short time since, that an English Gentleman, at Tours, had been ordered by the Pre fect to depart from that city, and quit the French territory in fifteen days. A private letter received yeterd, , y from Paris, states the Gentleman in question to be Mr. WRAX4I.I., the son of Sir N.

Mr. P. Donna gave notice of a motion which he should submit at some succeeding CAirt—that in consideration of the discovery of an error of great magnitude which had occurred at the hal'iot on the 15th of June, 1815, on the case of Mr. Thomas Graham, which was unknown at that time either to the D.rectors or Proprietors, the resolution which passed in affirmation of that ballot should be re. scinded. Mr. R. JacrcsoU moved that the report of the Corn. ruattee on the Bylaws he printed. 'the CHAIRMAN conceived. that 24 the alterations which had .been made by the Co.nmittee would of course be added to the old Bylaws, it would create confusion it the report were printed separately. The Hon. b. KINNAIRD supported the Motion. He thought it was but due to the Committee that te.er report should be coolly and deliberately consi dered by the Prorrit.teirs. In justice to the moti in of which he was about to give notice, i t the !lament the Chairman of the Committee on the by•lews, now ale• sent, that pat of the report which related to it should t Iraq be eilowed te be printed. Mr. I'. Moritz dei.reca!ed the idea of going to Par lietnent to confirm these by-laws, who would in dist case take the laws into their own hands, and iegislate for the Company. Mr. R. JACKSON said, his object in moving (or the painting of this report was, ill iir,ter that the general body of Directors and Proprietors might the better judge whether it were or were not expedient to only to Lament.

Th 4 Case of - William Moles, x master almney. sweeps+, who was lately tried at the Old Bliley Sessions, on a charge of Murder, in having caused the death of his apprentice, J,ifin llewlings. by re peated acts of cruelty, and ot which charge he was acquitted, was yesterday tried at Hicks's Hall, on an indictment fo'r vilently asstulting, at the several times there;n named, the said John Hewlings, to answer Which he was detained in custody on his ac quittal from the former charee at the Old Bliley. The Prisoner • pleaded Not Guilty to the present arrAignment. • Mr. ‘VaLporto stated the case for the prosecution, in a plain and affecting manner. The prisoner, he said, stood charged with having Created with great violence and cruelty a child tangoed John Hewlings, who had• been his apprentice. It was due to the prisoaer at the bar to state, that he had recently been tried and fully acquitted, in another place, upon a capital charge connected with this transaction ; it be came the dory, therefore, to cast from their minds every thing which they had previously heard on this affair—to look on the prisoner as fully exonerated from the heinous na•nee with which he had been at first charged—and to direct their attention wholly 3ad exclusively to the consideration of the subject then immediately 1:-fore them, and decide ace irding to the evidence which they would then hear in its support.

On the '2.1 of Apia last, the prisoner came t' erg with a boy, between five and six years of ate, to smeep the chimney. They went commroce the work in a room over her head, and shortly atter she was alarmed by the violent scream ing of a child for hdp—titi sci eamifig was accom panied by the sound of hln.cs (sr *laps. Ott hearing this she called Mr. Reeves to go up stairs and see what was the matter, following herself immediatAy as soon as sl.e could (tlie witness being indisposed at that time, as she w only a week out of her lyin g . in).

Oil seeing this, s:se came down stairs to her own apartments, being apprehensive that remaisticg any longer in the cold would do her injury. On the prisoner being asked whether he had any question to ask this witness, he said, that whets she entered die revim, he WAS only lifting the boy up the cLmney. He denied that he pulled him down at all. The witness, however, contradicted him, and adhered to her previous testimony. Sarah Reeves, examined by Mr. WALSORD. Sated, that she lived in the same house with the last witness, anti that on the day stated, she was called by her to go up stairs, in consequence of the noise. On entering the room, , she saw the Prisoner with his arms extruded up the chimney, and soon atter saw him draw down the child and let him fall on the ground all If a lump. She remonstrated with him on such conduct, and. in her rage, flung the child's shoes, which lay on the ground, the only things near her, at his head. He then sent the child Wthe chimney again —[This happened after 'Mrs. are quitted the roon3.l ! —The infant cried out that his knees were sores he then drew him down again by the back part of his small-clothes, and dashed him upon the hearth (there was no stove there at the tin:), and swore to the child that he would :ergs kiss out when he wok him home.—'rhis witness made Mn.
