the hero whore audacious genie]; mull a paffage oash the Alps, difarrned all our enemies, over came all prejudices, calmed all confciences, and who has given peace to the world. I propofe, then, that the Legiflative Body fhall fend th deputation nominated yefterday, that there thall be opened immediately a regitler, in which we may indivi dually infcrihe our votes, and in the lalt place, that the refult of this infcription (hall be trand mined by the Deputation to Government." The PRESIDENT—" The fira two propords of the Orator being comprehended in the decree which you have paired, it remains that we fhould determine refpefling the third, which is, that the r•fult of the infcription NAM be tranfmitted by the Deputation to Government." Vat.-81.stec." This amendmria has been dlr. a:td fet afide by the coninliffion ; it has amined which would be moil proper, to tranfmit the relish of the votes to the.Fira Confitl by a melTage, or to fend it by the Adminiffrative Com million. It has thought that the queftion in agita tion is not a legiflative aft, but the emifflon of the individual defire of each Member as a Citizen, on the queftion propofed to the French people, by the decree of the Confuls, on the loth of this month (May to); that the opening of a regiffer of infcription in the Legiflative Body is intended! to facilitate the fpeedy exprellion of that defire, and that it is diffident if the relish be tranfmitted to Government by the Adminiffrative Commitlion. Plcrky Dion Art called for the order of the day or. the propofal for charging the Deputation, to convey to Government the relish of the votes given by the Members of the Legislative Body.

(troy the archives in the caftles and towns, with a view of annihilating the titles of their debts to the State. A conrier, who arrived laft night, bvnight intelligence that there fatal plots have been fitdde.nly car: icd into execution. A great body of the populace have been armed and orga sized for that purpofe. Several of the archives were already burnt at the time of his departure.— Several engagements had taken pl.tee in different points, hot ithou: any great lnfs, becaufe they were not in a condition to eppofe mulch refiftance. Government has ordered troops to march in order to put an end to this anarchic explofion : they will be fupported by the French troops who are in the diftria of i'Aigle, and C. Ku HM, the Minifter of Police, will repair to Leman as Commiftioner of Government—we have no doubt, therefore, that good order will foon be reftored. Mar 7.—A part of Helvetia is again a prey to dircord and trouble. The infurreaion in the Canton of Vino is more ferious than was at Era fuppcfed. Two thouftnd armed peafants have declared war againft the callles, archives, and magazines of arms. They threaten Laufanne and Morges, and are mailers of fix callies. Troops have been dispatched againfl them, who are march ing thither with all fpeed. The Chiefs of the in forgents ailed a part in the difturbances which took place in the month of November 1800. The Valais is not in a Rate of greater tranquillity than the Pais de Vaud. C. Pa LTiER, nominated Pre feft byGeneral TIIVItIt F AO, has difplaced the Tri bunal of the Canton, who have formally prottßed againfl this meafure, and they have declared that they will not quit their functions tinlefs compelled by force. This capital even has bccn the theatre of divifion. The Helvetic troops in gairifon here came to blows with the French troops: feveral have been wounded on both fides. The refpeeive Com mandants have configned them to their barracks. In the mean time the Notables are again employed w:th the plan of a Conaitution prefented to them on the 3d•by the Petty Council; but the nature of this plan is not yet known.

Two companies of French troops let nut on the sth for Morges: others, it is raid, will repair to Coflonay. We are Allred, that a body of infurgents to the number of 2000, and commanded by Captain RFYMOND, are now at the gates of Morgcs ; they demand that the archives, arfenal, and prifoners, than be delivered up to them. The Sub-prefed, after a conference with the Committee of the infurgents, thought it his duty, confidering the infufficiency of his means of defence, to accede to thefe imperious demands, except that of giving up the arfenal, which he was able to preferve.

This Allion was brought by Mr. Clark, who is Chamberlain of London, againa Mr. Jackfon, a horfe dealer near Portland-place, for having fold him, as found, for i 261. a pair of coach horfes, one of which had a rand crack. Of the warranty there was no doubt, and the only queltion was, whether it had been fulfilled It appeared that the fale took place on the 6th of Apt il, r. Some marks of difeafe were then pointed nut on the horfe's hoof, but the Del'eislant laid that if they produced any unpleafant confequences, he would take him back. The horfe went pretty well tor nearly two months - , but at the end of that time he became lame ; never, however, In had as not to be able to do his work. The Defendant cff.red to take him back upon condition of receiving a gui nea and a half a week for the time the Plaintiff had ufed him. This offer was refuted, and Mr. Chaml,erlain Clark waited till the horf.: fhould be fa bad that he might clearly maintain an a.flien. Accordingly about Christmas the land crack bunt, and this action was brought. For the defendant it was proved that the horfe was quite found immediately before the fale; that Come weeks after the fale Mr. Clark was in treaty to fell him to another perton, and that he is nnw mach better. Great ttrefs waslaid upon the length of time that had been allowed to elapfe before the :talon was brought, and upon the circumtlance of the horfe having never been returned. Lord ELLINKOP.OUGH laid, that when a man found a warranty of this nature violated, he had two courfes to take : He might tither return the horfe and rcfcind the contract, or keep the horfe and recover damages for the lots and inconve nience he had futtained. If a Gentleman boaght a !nitre to go upon an urgent journey, it could not be laid that he mutt either return him or fubmit to go without any compenfation, if the hoile should not be found to anfwer the defcription of the Yen der.—Verdict for the Plaintiff—Damages 4cl. Qpo WARILAN TO. Mr. ERSKINE moved for informations in the na tore of .T . r,to IVarranto, calling on feveral Gentle men named in an affidavit, to thew by what au, thority they claim to be Freemen of the City of- Litchfield ? It was alledged that a Meeting was held of the Freemen, and afterwards the majority of them went away, under an impreffion that no thing was to be done ; but then it was thought convenient to proceed, and accordingly they did proceed, and admit thefe Gentlemen to the Free dom of the City ; and this was Rated to have been quite irregularly done, and that in reality there perfons had no right to their admiflion.—Rule to thew cede granted. BAIL BOND. Mr. GARROW moved fora rule to Phew caufe whxa Bail-bond, given in a certain cafe, fhould not 6? delivered up to be cancelled, and that the Parties should anfwer the matters of the affidavit, and appear in Court at the time of (hewing caufe. This he moved, on an affidavit, Rating that a perfon, who is an Attorney in this aftion, who had been on board one of the hulks Tome time ago, ap plied to the Defendant, and faid, " He had kept • a gaming-houfe, and was fubjed to a penalty for fo doing, but from which the Defendant (hould be excufed, if he would give him (the Attorney) two guineas." The Defendant would have nothing to do with this Attorney, and told him fo, and or dered him to quit the houfe, which he did not fo readily do as was defired, and the Defendant timid him out, upon which the Defendant was indified for an alfault, and having notice of it. he appeared to take his trial at the proper place for that purpofe ; when, to 'his alto:lament, in- Read of being tried for the ail - Ault, he was arreftcd for a very large fum of money in an Aaion at the fuit of a perfon to whom he never owed a !Ming, nor had he ever any dealings with hint or this At torney ; but upon this arred he was, of coutie. obliged to give a Bail Bond to the Sheriff before he could be liberated, did Mr. GARROW fail, that it was fir this fcandalous abufe of the procefs of the Court that this Motion was made. Lord ELLEN EOROUG H aflted, whether this Mo tion did not, in fome meafure, taL iotolueition the right of bringing an A4tion, and trying the merits of the cafe upon Affidavits, a thing which the Court had repeatedly declined to do ?• Mr. GARROw raid, it had occurred to hi% that, fome filch obferration as this was likely to }; A ir e been made, but the Affidavit in this cafe ne tived all poilibility of any foundation for thq Afti nn that the whole was a grofs and infamous fabric* , Lion, for the pnrpofe of extorting money from the Defendant. --Rule to thew wife granted. il '
