We have reafon to believe that the intelligence we Reed yefierday, refpating the Cape of Good Hope, will turn out to be coiten. A Gentleman who left Amilerdam abort five days ago faw a let t& from the Cape to the houfe of TIUSST and Co. Rating, that on the Atli of (Molter IA an Eng fquadron arrived in Table Bay, and on the gth, when the lettei left the Cape, the troops were landing, having been invited to do to, not only by the inha bitants, but by the Dutch troops, who refuted to all againft them when ordered by the Governor. The entertainment given reflerdar evening by his Ma; ,STY at the Royal Cattle Windfnr, excited great expetations, from the extent of the prepara tions, and the number of iliuftrious gueflb invited to partake of the hofpitalities of a beiovtd King. The warmelt fancy, however, could fcarcely exceed the actual magnificence of this Pe, combining all that' the rank and 'Albion, talents, and dignity of the Empire could affemble, horn the Court, the Nobi lity, and the principal perf-uts of th• land, of both texes ; an aff..mhlage in the high.eft degree gratifying to all who love the ;tins Monarchy, and revere a P r i nce w h o h as , during l o long, and fo arduous a reign, never forgotten to confider himfelf as the Fa ther of his People. The public roads leading from town to Windfor cbibitcd yellerday afterno-n, from one until three o'clock, a very grand difplay of elegant carriages, ccnfilting of coaches and chariot?, landaus and lan• daulets, many with fit. of 'lodes to each, and none with leis than four, betides poitillinns and outriders, ail dreffed in rich and fplenitir; liveries. In the Ilion fpace of one hour, namely, from half pail twelve o'clock until half paft one-, no tefs than ninety-Coven carriages paired through the town of Hai:medalist), Many with fix bodes, and none with lefs than four, and two out-riders. Every carriage wit loaded with imperials or trunks filled with baggage.

Every perfon invited had the precaution to provide a hokile or lodging at Windlor. Eton t Stainess or Eghim. Owing to the latenefs of the hour at which the en tertainment commenced, it is impolEble for us to give any correit particulars this day I but we entertain confident hopes of being able. to-morrow. to gratify our Readers with an account, both corraft and ample. Difpatchts were tail night fent off from the Ad miralty to be forwarded by the Avenger, to Sir J.

There are Rated to be 42 copper bottomed (hips for troops, 45 fitted for the conveyance of cavalry, and so for ordnance and (tore:. A new Colony is about to be founded in the Eat tern Hemilphere. We learn, by the laft letters from Botany Bay, that a number of fetters and convi&s bad been removed from that parent colony, and Nor folk Ifland, to a new fettlement, eitablilhed in an ad vantageous fituation called Port Dalrymple, on Van Dieman's Land, to the foutb of Bafs's Straits. This third eftabli(hment in the Eat, founded in confe quenee of pofitive inthuaions from the Government, 4‘ deemed of loch importance, that Mr. PATTER.

The prifoner is fix feet high, and Mr. Birch is but of a middle flame, and, of courfe, had no chance in fettling any difpute in a pugilitlic ttii.c. The prifoner then attempted a recrimination, by tl:arging Mr. B. with the firfl afault, in wilfully tre,ding upon his toes; but the Magillrates dif 7h;aged tile complaint, deeming it frtvolous and reeatiox., but they confidered the conduEl of MY.

ZdflY INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEE. • THII RING V. W. JENKINS alias W. PRINCi. This profrcution ranked from the proceedings at the late eleaion for Middlefex, after which an Wilt ment was found, on a charge of perjury againd the Defendant. The cireumflances nearly refernhic that we have before given in the cafe of " the King Prince and others." On the record, it appeared that the Defendant listed bindelf to be cnti:led to a free hold in Stone-cotter's-lane, in the parifh of St. Martin in the Fields, recopied by one Griot. The SOLIC ITOR G ENPRAL R ate d t h e patticulars of the crime charged againft the prifiner. Ka raid, it Would entre out in evidence, that there was a regular trianufaCtory for preparing faEtitious votes, which were lint to shP. maricet at -13rentford. More than two or three hund•.-ed famples of this kind had been difcr iered, but certain it was, that thirty indiftments had been found. The objeft was, to beat down the Free holders by circle expedients, and to alarm them by thefe fhadows; and if this praCtice were general, the eleftion of the people, on which the liberty of the country depends, would be wholly difappointed.— The Learned Counfel then dated the particulars of the proof, and the form in Which the evidence would be adduced before the Jury. Mr. Sudlow (Under Sheriff) was called to depofe to the oath reqniredi and the mode of condueing bufinefs adopted at the eleftion. His teaimony was almoß precifely the fame as what we have before de tailed in the cafe of the King v. Prince. M r . ERsKINE t,bok an objeCtion to the agreement between the can.;idites, touching the two oaths to he adminittered not having- been damped ; on which Mr. Gaveow, without giving way to the trjeetion, proved the cJof-nt to this form of fwearing by parole evidence. Mr. Gordon raid, he was prefent every day : he fnperintended the Poll-del i; + , who admiciftered the o.►:hs. He was one cf the Under Sher itts, and Hated to the Candidates the nature of the ag!ccmcnt, and, with their concurrence, fettled the point with regard to the oaths to he required of •11.1 Eleetors. Thomas Maddan was a Poll-clerk : he depoft.d, that he attended in the Weaminaer divifion. and he produced the poll-bock, which contained the name of William Plinct, of No. 16, Tower-areet, Seven Dials, St. Giles ir. the Fields. The freehold was [tared t-. he in the prsifeilion of Edward Glint. He pylled for Sir Francis Bnr.'ett, and the word Jung W:l5 OppOfite to his name. lie believed him to be the f-une man. Cn being quettioned by the LORD CHIRP .TUSTICI , as to the iden'ity, he laid, " it is my prefect e:i(hing rrflia:lon and belief, that the perfon next to Mr. Adolphus, on the left hand, now in Court, is the man whole name has now been read front the poll-boric." On his ctofs-examination, the witnels laid, that the youth of the prithner 'truck him, as he thought he was not of age to vote. Mr. K. Harper laid, he was at Brentford on the feeond day. He was on the huaings in the capacity of infpeaor to Mr. Mainwaring, at the Weaminfter Booth. He was there at the time, when a !whim propofed to vote, as William Prince. When he of. fered himfelf, the witnefs :Lazed him if he was of age. The prifoner kid he was of age, and proceeded to (late the fituation of his freehold. The witnels re marked to feveral perfons, lie thought the voter was not of age, and this led him to make particular 0b... fervation on his perfon. He faid he had very little doubt the pralmer was the voter, and on beicg afked by a juryman as to his conviction on this lubjed, he at last declared he had no doubt. Philip Prince laid, " I liye at No. 16, Tower flreet, Seven Dials. I know the initialer. I have been acquainted with him for fome years. He lodged in my hotife. I did fee him on the day he is laid to have rolled at Brentford. On the fecund or third day of theeleClion I went with him, but I will not be furl on which of thofe days. I was only one day there in the lira week. I went with the prifoner, with Samuel Jenkins, his brother, and John Stuart. Ile f.t:d he was going to Brentford to work. I well untlerllood what he meant by worki,Q4." Mr. ERSXIT.II-...." We do not want your under. • (landii g. l)ir, we want only your feels." Wionf.—" Fie laid, he Wei• going to Brentford to work, and in my name. I law the prifoner go in with Mr. Watfon. He entered the poll gate with Watfon and Stuart. I did not fee him do any other work at Brentfor el. After he had done the work, 1 law l•'— ; he then told me the work was done. He frid he worked in my name, and his freehold was Orint's hook, which I know very well. The houfe is in Stone-cotter's-alley, not too yards from where I live. The prifoner is a (hoe maker, and formerly worked for me. He had no kit with him to work as a fhoe maker. He told me he had worked in my name , an d his f ree hold was Grine:. honk. The work he meant sva. the polling." On his crofi.exaniination by Mr. CLIFFriID, he laid, " I underltood the meaning of the word work. It was not the firit time I had heard the exptelEon. Watfon was there that day. On other days I was at my own houfe, or about my hofinefs in London. I attended the }tunings on the following week. to prevent ECitious voters from polling." Being olked if he was not then employed for that purpoie, he laid, " I was not then engaged." Being preffed fur ther, i e laid, " the priforier's brother engaged fac titious votes, and he under flood the pi ifoner was to have one guienea and a half, but be was not prefent when the money was paid." On his re-examination he laid, I had lent the priloner lone laver ; and he I:tid, fr l would go to die Globe, at Moot gate, to try to get the money, he would repay me. I was to go over to the Commit. tee, and fee if 1 could meet with Greenflade ; he, I believe, and his brother, were partners to get votes. He made his own agreement, which I thought was one guinea and a half. The prifoner oblerved to me, he had done it in prime Presi, anJ that Watfon, (who is dead), was at his elbow, and heard what he faid. Another rebuked him, and called him a fool, and told him Watfon was of the oppofite party." John Hunter, Efq. laid, he was attending the Committee of the Houle of Commons, fitting to try the merits of the Middle ea Ek.!tion. That the Com mittee did not tranfire bufinefe to-day, and lie looked into the Court out of mere curiotity. Ile was a friend to Mr. Mainwaring, and aflitted him doling the eleCtion. He was not ftibpcened to attend. He few the prifoner at the bar, and knew him to he the Ifame that offered his vote. He recollected, Inc (the winters) made the _oblation to the admitliun of the . , vote, under the doubt if the priCiner was twenty.one years of age. The °Nation was difpofed of by his taking the oath. [The oath was now read by the Clerk in Court.] " I did obfetve his perfon, and knew him the moment I taw him here. I have no doubt it is the man, and his ?erlon is'more itrongly imprclred upon me, from having teen him after: I hare no doubt he offered himfelt to poll in tome other name ; and he, I think, was brought round on a lubfequent day, for the pit:pole of b,:ing examined. I h.tve no doubt of his perfon in my mind. I was on the huttiligs every d.y of the elettion, excepting two; I mentioned his young appearance to Mr Har• per." On his trots-examination by Mr. Limas', on being urged further, Mr. Hunter raid, he knew the man immediately, and raid he lhould have reeognir ed him equally, whether he met him in the Court, or in the Itreet. John Goden raid, William Prince was the only per t-on under that name who voted for a freehold in Stone Cuttet's-alley. Samuel Smith and Charles Greenwood were clerks to the Mercers' Company ; the one depofed, that he entered the rents of the bottle of Grint, in Stone Cut ter's•alley, to the credit of that Company ; the other. that he received fuch rents ; and both of them gave teflimony that the freehold belonged to the Company. Grint being called, faid his name was Eralmus, not Edward ; that he occupied the honk in queflinn ; that there is no other Stone Cutter's court, or alley, in the neighbourhood ; and that lie had polfeffion of the houle under the Mercers' Company. To them he paid rent, and no perfon of the name of Prince or Jenkins had at any time made a claim for fuch rent. Here the cafe was concluding on the part of the Crown, and Mr. ERSKINE had begun his addrefs for the Defendant, when the SOLICITOR GENERAL inter poled, and Mr. Madden was recalled, who further gave evi dence. that Wm. Jones was the perfon employed at the book of the wiroefs, and that he had no doubt this perfon was duly (worn. The clerks fubfcribed a paper, and then were fworn four at a time. Mr. Stidlow was examined, and he faid he had no more doubt of Jones being fworn, than he had at that titre of any gentleman in the Jury Box having taken the oath prefcribed by the law for perfons in fuch a fituation. Mr. ER S Klm a reCumed his defence He commented at great length on the team:my given by the feveral witneffes, and he contended, that the evidence of Prince ought to be wholly laid afide becaofe he had (hewn his total difregard of the facred obligation of an oath, by permitting a perfon (whether the pri. loner or not was not material) to (wear in his own name to a freehold, without making any dif covery of the crime, until he was called upon for the purpofe of the prefent profecution. The Learn ed Coonlel laid, to conllitute the crime, there mull he a breach of the oath ; and the crime fo charg ed under the flatute, mutt be an oath, taken un der the requifition of the candidates. Further, the oath mull be received by a perfon having a right to adminilter fuch oath. That perfon, on the prefent occalion, was William Jones, and he was the only man in the world who could give fatisfaftory evi dence to the Jury on this fubjeft. He was called. but had not anfwered, and hence the proof was de ficient. He intreated the Jury to take the jolt dif tinetion between probability and certainty; they, or he, might believe the prifoner to be guilty, but lei ther they, or any man in England, would be fafe in their beds, if a Defendant were to be fubjeded to a verdia againtt him on loch belief. Lord ELL'. N B"1101:GH fummed up the evidence.— " I am Pure the Learned Counlel ha. done, not only his heft, but the belt that can be done for his client. and he may return home with perfed fatisfaelion, under the conviCtion of having fully and ably dif charged his duty. You have heard the evidence on the part of the profecution ; might have been encountered by contrary teilimony, and none is pro. duced. No account is given of the prifoner, which at all breaks in upon this evidenct. We have heard much of the incompetence of Philip Noce, and certain it is, that this man does not appear to feel a high fettle of duty, or to have any delicate and refined notions of moral obligation ; yet it mutt be confidered, that even the evidence of an accomplice is admiflible, and the Jury have it in their power to difcnver, how far his depofitions are confirmed by the other witnefres. There are three perfons who depofe to the identity of the prifoncr. In point of law, there is one particular which has been fiated i which I cc old have no objeCtion to have re-confi dered. The charge is, to fay the lean, daintily (fat ed in the indiament ; and if it be there predicated of words ufed in the oath, then there is no proof of the words; and alfo the real and fiClitious names are obrcurely blended. At prefent, it does not ap pear to me there is an imputation on any of the wit nelfes, not even upon Prince ; for many perfons would not like to be the accufer of another, who might fe. riottfly fuller in confequence of fuch accufation. But I mull not fay Prince isa man of nice fenfibiliry if he kept company with the Defendant for one moment, nor can we confider him to be of this charafter, fines he himfelf received a part of the money, the price of this fuppofed perjury, and difcharged with it his own debt : but I do not think we mould go fo far as to fay, that be is not, on this account, to be believed on his oath. Mr. Hunter (peaks of the countenance of the prifoner as familiar to him at the time of the elec tion. On the whole, it a n pears to me, that the great de lign of the adminittraiton of lattice mutt be difap inted if fuch evidence be not confidered futicient." The Jury, after a (hors confultation, found the pri loner—Guilty. All the Tickets in the prelent Lottery being clic. poled of, the Contradots confented to a Bidding for a new Lotter taking place before the other was fi nilbed; and rtlerdAy the follow;ng parties waited on the Minifier in Downing-greet to contra& for the latt Lottery of the year, to be drawn the 13th of It44y next.
