I beg the Petty Council to accept the e xpreflion of my perfen confideration. (Signed) K MOSTRICHAIIn." MAY t9.—Citizen KUHN has returned from his journey to Leman; but the news from that coun try is not fo favourable as at fire fuppofed Bands of the army of the infurgents which have been diffolved have committed fevers) exceffes in returning. The proprietors of the feudal rights havebeen threatened and maltreated. To prevent fimilar diforders, Citizen Knits, on his departure, from the Pays de Vaud, caufed to be publifhed the following Proclamation : 111, The guaranty of national property, and that of the public officers who have remained faithful to their duty, is under the refponfibility of the communes.—ad, Any damage done to pro- perty gives a tide to an indemnification from the commune, which may have recourfe to the guilty. 3d, The Communes who have oppofed energetic refinance to the difturbers of the public peace, and who have yielded only to force, are exempted from this meafure.-4th, Communes and difiriEls in which fuel diforders are committed !hall be de clared in a nate of fiege.—sth, The armed force Gall march thither, !hall difperfe thole affembled in a tumultuous manner, 1411 faze the guilty, and convey them to head quarters at Laufanne.- 6th, As rebels they fhall be cited before a Council of War, by which they !hall be tried. It is therefore falk•that Citizen Kunz has con. eluded, as is laid, an arrangement with the incur gents. He only promifed them, in concert with Gem Awry, that he would intereft himfelf on that fubjea with Government. The troops have been diftributed in the Pays de Vaud in fuch a manner as to prevent new troubles. Similar meafures have been purfued in the can ton of Unterwalckn, where the infurreaion which lately broke outwas in a contrary direaion. The caufcs of the tumult there were the difmilal and replacement of the Municipalities. What Rill tended to enereafe it was, that the ancient Autho rities refalkd to refnme their funaions, though the new ones were not acknowledged. The troubles are Rill greater at Sarnen thin in thi other diftrias. Yefterday morning his Majesty with his tifual attendants left town fot Windfor.

This day the Admiralty SefEons were opened at the-Old Bailey before Sir WILLIAM SCOTT, Lord ALVANLEY, Mr. Jultice Gloss, and the Court of Civilians. The Court mu at nine o'clock, but it was about half paR eleven before the Grand Jtry made their firft prefentmcnt. _ . y0;.6 Shuttleworth flood indided, for that he, be ing mailer of the Hercules merchant fhip, on the 1d of October laft, did inflkt on William Archer, a boy of 14 years of age, and mariner on board the fame, fo revere a flogging of a cat-o'nine tails, that he languithed theretrom, and died on the 6th of the Paid Odober, in Georgiana, in North America. By the evidence of three mariners on board the (hip, it appeared that the deceafed bad been af fated with a weaknefs, the effect of which was his having fometimes foiled himfelf and the fhip, in fuch a manner as that one of the men complained to the Captain, that if he were not broke of that praaice, he would breed an infeaion in the (hip. For an offence of this kind, on the zd of October, the mate was ordered to give him a dozen lathes, which was accordingly done, but the auifance having re-appeared on the fucceeding day,the Cap tain was fo enraged, that he had him ffretched upon the captiern, and infliaed on him five or fix dozen, according to the firs; two dozen accord ing to the fecond; and too lathes, according to the evidence of the third witnefs. There were fe -1 veral other variations and incongruities in their tellimony ; bnt they all agreed that it was a very cold frog, and that by the advice of one M'Carthy, the boy was foon afterwards feated in a bucket of cold water, and afterwards was wattled with warm water: he however died in z or 3 days afterwards . John M'Carthy, the Boatfwain, in addition to Tome of the foregoing circumftances, Rated that he faw the Captain in the morning give the boy toB lathes,.then go to breakfaft, leaving the de ceafed extended on the capftern, come back again, and gave him ten more, making in all z 18 lathes; that it was he who recommended, the cold water bath, having once been.cured by it of a fimilar complaint himfelf. The Witnefs, on hiscrofs-examination, Paid, that he had himfelf complained to the Captain of the boy's filth, and reludantly acknowledged that he advifed, as a punifhment, that he fhould be feized in the fhronds by the thumbs, with his toes touching the deck, which advice the Captain re _idled, raying, no one in his f hip fhould be ill treated. Richard Jenner, and Matthew Sims, two other tailors, gave a more favourable account of the tranfa;tion. The latter, in particular, Paid, that he endeavoured to diffuade the application of the cold 'water, declaring, as it afterwards turned out, that it would be the death of the boy, who was before fo ill as to be nearly bent. The Captain afterwards put him under the witnefs's care, and fopplied him with red wine and bark, for the ufe of the patient, out of his own (lore ; but he never recovered the application of the cold water. After the evidence for the profecution was clofed, Lord Atvaritar put it to the prifoner's Counfel, that under all the .circumftances it was unnecefary to go into the defence. Mr. GAIROVir, his leading Counfel, and Who, together With Mr. Serjeant Bator and Mr. Go ILSE v, condated the crofs-examination with fingular abi lity, coincided in this . -fuggetlion. Though it might have been important to have contradicted the witneffes by contriry teftimony, yet, confider ing the nature of the 'evidence they had given, it Was fufficient to leave the caA as it now flood.— He contented hinsfelf, therefore, with calling. a few witneffes to the prifoner's charadter, which would completely remove any impreffion to his prejwliee. The witnetres called were of the firft refetabi lity, and they (poke of him in the bigbeft poffitile terms, as a young man of the melt Tober r habiu, of the molt induffrions•charaßer, of the moft kind and benevolent dirpolition. Mr. GARROW further-Rated, that if it had been judged neceltary, he had Gentlemen of the highett medical talents and reputation to prove, that the application of cold water to the.dectafed, with the complaint under whichte labtrUred, could not fail to be atteiscred,with'death. After, few obfervations from Lord Alvan t, EY, the Jury, without the fmalleft hefitation, acquitted the prifoner. for fea: John Pebley, Captain of the Antelope merchant fhip, was charged with a fimilar offence, in affault ing John Jenkins, a mariner on board the Paid (hip, near the Ifland of Demerara, on the 2 1 ft of Novem ber laft, arid beating him *ith the tiller of a bitat in'the break head, and back, of whiah he died in a few days afterwards.. : There .wore:onlyWo.. 4 llsitaelfes for this profecu tion, iSaintad:'-'l9ltineerthe Steward, and James t*eftitci the Boatfwain of the veffel, from whore -teßimony it appeared, that the (hip failed from London in April, left year, and arrived in the Bay of Demerara, about a quarter of a mile from the fhore, in November. On the voyage:there vas Come difpute between the deceafed and one of the Mates, on which occafion the Captain efpoufed the caufe of the latter. At Demerara the Captain went on (bore, and returning in the boat, where were Jenkins and three outlandifh Tailors, they from the (hip raw him take the tiller from the :Aid der, and beat the deceafed with it for about ten minutes on the head, neck, and breaft. Jenkins with great difficulty got on board of the 'hip, and crawled into the chains, from whence, by fome "cans or other, he floated on his back to the (bore, where fome men came to his affiance. In three or four days the Captain brought liins on board again, from a prifon, and the deceafed fent for the two witneffes, and another perfon, folemnly dc daring that he died in confequence of the blows received from the Captain, and requeffing that they would acquaint his friends in England of it, and fcejuliice done. They felt his breaU, the bone of which appesred to be fraCtured, and he fpit blooJ pett,-ivrd that any medical Alliance was afforded him, and he foon died in a (late of delirium. On being crofs-examined: they owned that they had left the fhip before its return to England, but faid they were Afra;,l of their lives, on account of having been threatened by th . e Captain. Capt. Pathley flated in his defence, that on hist*. turn to the boat he found the 'l:lterated fwimming about, and reprimanded him for a:ling with fuck imprudence in lb hot and tinhcalibv a climate that this being received with rtider.:l's and infult, lie jumped intothe boat, anti a fcuffle enfued, in which he only obtained the advantage when he , had re . courfe to the tiller. On fit:hug that, he f►ram on (hose horn the (hip. He confulted one of the own ers, and by his advice applied to tilt M.c iflsate of the town, who lent him to pi ifon till the day be fore the failing of the thin. In that interval he fuppofed he might have caught the fever of which he. died. He offered then to produce the surgeon's bill, but the Court did not think proper to receive it. A great number of brokers, (hip-owners, mer chants. and Captains of veffels then were called, fcveral of whom refilled in Demerara. They all gave the prifoner an excellent chat akler, and thole vtho had employed him in their fervice, declared they had never heard him complained of by the crews. .The Jury retired for near two hours: when they came back they gave in a verdi6t of Alan flaughier, and he received fentence of fix months imprifonment in Newgate, and was fined 501.

The money for the eitablifhment of it was left by the late Sir JAMES DOWNING. The fcite of ground marked nut for it is near St. Andrew's•ttreet ; it is to be for the Rudy of the Law and Phyfic only. A queftion arofe upon the Will, and it has been a number of years in litigation in Chancery, but is now in a train of fettlement. A paper publiihed at Paris, under the title of Bulletin Particulier de Paris, of the silt May, and a Journal concluded under the immediate influence of - the Government, contains fome remarks on the rumours circulated at Paris of plots, infurreaions, &c. Thefe reports are declared to be totally un founded, and to be merely fuited to the capacity of the Gok-tnouches, foreign and domeilic. It ex prefsly contradiets the report that the colours of any regiment were to be confecrated. Such a thing never was in the contemplation of Government. It takes notice of the arreft of Ss so ENT, the Sep tembrifer, who is reprefented to have made. ufe of fome very treafonable exprellions. FOURNIER is faid to have had influence no where but in the gaming houfes and amongft the files pubfiquer. As to General DELMAS, he has been fent away to his divifion. " He, however, is not to be confound ed with fuch wretches as the above. His heart is much better than his head ; a brave foldier, but a bad politician; he has neither mind nor fy ftcm of his own; and as he will never tale thole of others, he has been almoft always in oppofition to there of others. He has fo often been the object of their complaints that his removal to a di Ranee (elm:re:nee) has generally taken place as often as his bickerings rendered neceffary.' The mind never received more complete gratifi cation from any produdtion at a Summer Theatre than it does from the new Grand Ballet of Action The Fatal Frei:Non, or Midnight 411 n, at the Royal Circus, and this is evident from the very extenfive applaufe it receives every evening from each quarter of that Theatre. The Equeftrian Feats of that unrivalled Hot feman young SAUN DERS, and the favourite Piece if The Anchanted Harp ,join to render the routine of the amufements perfectly charming. .

Speed the Plough, on Monday, is to be replaced by another new Piece by Mr. C.

The Church 'has undergone a complete repair, ornamental and fubliantiar ; the talleful execution of which does very great credit to the abilities of Mr.Cocsßcr.c, the Surveyor, under whofe diredion it was con duted,and proves him to be thoroughly acqa.:inted with the merits and beauties of Gothic architec- ture. A very fuperb and melodious Organ has been built, which was opened on this occafion by Mr. WESLEY, the fon of the late Rev. Mr. WES LEY, who difcovered confiderable fcience and feli city of execution : indeed, the powerful and com manding tones of this Organ are fo captivating as to fix the attention irrefillibly of the audience, and to fafcinate them with the concord of fwcet founds. The fwell is particularly diftinguithed by the cry/- undo diminuendo , which it difplays in the greatest perfalion. The trumpet flop padres a fweetnels of found, which, with the other fuperior qualities of this charming initrument, produces a moll ma jeflic and fublime died. Mr. AVERY, the builder of this Organ, needed not any additional inftances to celebrate his fame ; but, on the prefent occa fion,it would be very unjull'not to found his praife, who has fo highly contributed, by this moll admi rable Organ, to edify and delight thofe who may have the gratification to hear it.
