General ANDREOSSI, Ambairador from the French Republic, arrived at his bottle in Port land-place, at one o'clock this morning. His Ex cellency came in an elegant coach, drawn by eight horfes, accompanied by the junior PORTAL'S, his fecretary ; this was followed by two other hand fome carriages, with fix horfes each, and contain ing the fuite of the Ambaffador; befides which, there was a poll-ehaife and four fined entirely with luggage. M. OTT° received a letter from him-yellerday morning, dated from Dover on Thurfday, in forming hint of his fafe arrival in that place, and th.:t it was his intention to be in London yellerday afternoon. Ibis Secretary likewife received a let ter to the fame effea, and ordering a dintiet for light to be ready at fix o'clock. A fumpttious dinner was prepared accordingly. M. 0 rTo is not perfonally known to K. ANDREOSSI, but waited at home the whole of the day to have an interview with him as foon as he arrived. About eight o'clock M. OTTO called at the Ambafrador's 'mule, in Portland-place, to enquire if he had ar rived, and being anfwcrcd in the negative, he drove to Drury-Lane Theatre. A number of perfons in the courfe of the after noon affembled near Portland-place, to fee him ar rive, but the heavy rain did not faM:r them to remain long together. "Orders had been fent from Mr. PITT (as Lord Warden) at Dover Ca (Ile, to receive him with a dif charge of artillery ; hut it being pail fun-fet when he landed, accorcl:n to military etiquette, this compliment could not be paid him. An immenfe concourfe of people lined both the piers, and it was with difficulty he could becondaled free from the preifure of the populice, who, impelled by curio• Pity, crowded upon him in all direetions. The fame obfervance of military regulation whLii prevented his being received with a falute, alio tendered a guard of honour incompatible with the time of do, to which was owing the inconve nience he experienced in hi. paicage from the Qay to the Ship Inn, where the band of the Both re giment attended, and continued for fume time to pl.' y a variety of popular tunes. In the !Lite of the Ambalrador (which was not very numerous) was the Lady of the Secretary, why held the General's arm, and feveral other females. In the evening the Commanding Officer at the Caille, feveral other Officers of rank, the Mayor, and fome of the principal inhabitants, Admiral BAZELEY, Capt. ROSE, of his Majetty's flzip Ja maica, at anchor in Dover Roads, Cap(. J. LAZE LEY, of the Royal Navy, &c. paid their refpcets to him at the Inn. The new Ambaffador is a very elegant and ac complithei Gentleman ; and from his general chara6ter and coilduel, his appointment is highly creditable to the judgment of the Comm.. He looked extremely well, and did not feem to be much fatigued with his unpleafant journey. He ha.l a very tedious pelage on Thurfday frumCalais to Dover, the weather being quite calm. The veirel in which he came was feveral hours in fight of Dover, without being able to make the fn. , ll::ft 'progrefs, and but for the affittance t,! the Cu:loin houie boats and fome others, which towed her fe veral miles, the would not have reached the har bout that night. Lord WHITWORTH and family are expe&-d at Dover on Tudday, the 9th intl. order; having b en received to get apartments prepared fir OLD BAILEr. Yefterday 23 prifoners were tried, one of whom was capitally convicted : • John Wil/lianu and William William: were tried ender the charge of ftealing from the houfe of Richard Sayer, on 'Friday the 22d a 06tober 1.!li, • a trunk containing Leven gowns, a tea caddy, nd other property, to the value, in all, of between 1. and 61. fterling, the property of Hannah Wild. Hannah Wild, the profecutrix, gave the follow ing account of the circumftances of her lofs, and oithe difcovery of the thieves :—On Tuefday, the 19th of Oaoher, the arrived, by water, from Mar gate, at the Swan public-houfe, near Wefiminfier• bridge. She was going into • a place as a hired fer vant. It was not convenient for her to take her baggage immediately home with her, and the therefore left it in two trunks in the care of the landlord, Mr. Sayer, who undertook the charge of it ; and, for the greater fecurity, depofited the trunks in his own bed chamber. Next Friday the returned with a carman,. to remove the trunks to the houfe of the family into whole service fhe had entered. They were delivered to her by Mrs. Sayer, whole hufband happened not to be at home. One of them was put into the carman's vehicle ; he let off, without waiting for the other ; and the profecutrix thought it neeeffary to attend him'clofe ly, left he thould convey it away for his own ufcs. Hannah Wild and the carman had not long left the houfe, when William Williams, one of the pri loners at the bar, entered the tap-room, as with a meffage from her ; pointed to the mom in which the other trunk ftill'remained and requctled it to be delivered to him, that he might carry it to the owner. It was delivered, and lie went off with it. Mr:.. Sayer and Hannah Wild were equally fur prited when thereturned to claim the fecond trunk, and learned that it bad been delivered to a man who came with a meffage in her name. Thefe were the particulars of the theft ; a part of which were related by Mr. and Mrs. Sayer.— Mr. and Mrs. Halefworth gave evidence, that John Williams, the fecond of the prifoners, had depofit ed at their houfe a bundle containing the gowns of the profecutrix ; and had Paid that it contained no thing but rags, which were his own property. — Another witnefs, a young woman, related that he wined to perfuade her to accept the trunk as a pretent, and was greatly mortified at her refufal of it. Halefworth and his wife had difcovered that the bundle contained things more valuable than rags ; and had; upon the fufpicion which this d' covert' excited, given information at the Police Office ; in confequence of which Mifs Wild reco vered her property, and the prifoners at the bar were committed to prifon to await the prefent trial. After this evidence the prifoners at the bar were called on for their defence. John Williams Paid, that he had indeed affilled his brother in difpofing of the goods, but was entirely unconfcious of the theft. William Williams attempted no defence for himfelf, but folemnly exculpated his brother from intentional guilt, in the affiftance he had given him. The Learned Judge, in his remarks to the Jury, obferved, that he did not think there was any evi dence to affect John as to the felony, for that at moft only proved that he had received the goods knowing them to have been ftolen, but that was an offence for which he was not now upon his trial.. As to the other prifoner,if they believed there was no millake as to the identity, he was afraid they mu ft convict him of the whole charge, unlefs they could confcientioufly reduce the value under 4os. which he did not fee poffible, for, his having obtained the goods by fraud, with the intent of ftealing them, was as much a felony as if he had got them out of the houfe by any other means.—The Jury, after a fhort confultation, pronounced William 4i/II!, ; John Not Guilty. Three were conviaed of mifdemeanors, viz. D. Price, J. Eltu, and 7. Steers. Eleven were convected of felony, viz. John Francis and William Champnefr, for ftealing from Michael Burke, on the r ith of Oaoher lalt, fix feven Milling pieces, two halfguineas, and one twenty thilling note of the Bank of England, in the dwelling-houfe of David Angus, near Broadway, We aminfter. The profecutor, Michael Burke, an Irifh tailor, 'had arrived in town cn the loth of October ; re ceived fome money at his agent's, and pilled the night in. a lodging-houfe occupied by proflitutes. He went about nine o'clock in the morning of the lith into the houfe of Angus, who is a barber, to be trimmed and dread. Being thirfiy, he per fuaded Angus's wife to procure him fome beer, which he drank. The prifoners at the bar came in,in the mean time, entered into converfaeion, and drank with him. Some loofe women alfo entered ; gin was fent for, and was put, for fome time, mer rily round. At length the profecutor, in the full. nefs of big heart, difplayed his treafure. Francis fnatched it from his hand, and conveyed it acrofs his own back into the hand of Champnefs. The profecutor himfelf, a boy of nine years of age, the fon of Mrs. Angus, and Sarah Edwards, one of the women, faw Francis take away the money, and Champnefs receive it. The profecutor, etrndueted by the little boy, went to call in the afftltance ref fame police officers from Bow•fbect. Francis and Champnefs in the mean time made Their efcape ; but they were loon taken by the officers. They were then committed to await the prefent trial. The profecutor gave his evidence of the parti culars of this theft, with a confufion of ideas, a deficicucy of language, an imperfect intelligence of the que(lions put to him, an obflinacy and bur Rs of anger arifing from a fearfulnefs of being entrap ped to contradi II:s own meaning, which, alto gether, gave infinite trouble to the Judge, Mr. JklitiCe HEATH, as well as to Mr. KNOWLES, who examined him for the defence; whin excited tome ti rn merriment and fometimes indignation in thole who n--si d him ;' and which leaned to raife fufpi (-ions kr which there was no real ground, againa the veracity of his evidence. His evidence, was, .owever, in the principal faits, fully confirmed by John Burnet, Mrs. Angtis's fon, who, though only nine ) ears o( age, appeared to be duly fenfible of the obligation of an oath, and-by Sarah'Edwards, one of the women who were in Angus's hogs_ Francis attempted no . defence.• Chatupnervilielz, ed a very unbecoming audacity, and told a 1 mg 'Rory to exculpate himfell, which, though bold, was utterly implaufible, and lei vet!, in I aa, n/ confirm the evidence,ofhis . guilt. They rcte 1,(411 found guilty, but of paling only. - John Vernon, alias John Dawes, alias 7o!.:: Taws, was indkied for flealing a cloak, c! ti e value of 161. 16s. the property of Sarah Pearce, in a dwellinkhoufe, which was a capital ofEnic , ... The profteutrix was Called, but did nor appar, and, therefore, the prifoner wets pronounced—Not Guilty. He was then tried upon an indhament 1.-,r a fingle felony, tor Itealing a pair of gold ear-r:ms, and a gold pin, the property of Sarah Hcatlici, on the loth of Antal lalt. This rrifoncr i, t!,?.

The faEts which militated .tgainft him wcie briefly as follow : Mifs Sarah Heather depofcd, that upon evening of the aoth of Auguti latt the met usi;li the prifoner at the Haymarket 'fliea:.re. She cer tainly hied his appearance, which 7.•,-as complele;y that of a gentleman, and the allowed him to ekoi! her to her lodgings, in Clarges-ttreci, where he remained all night. Next ntornins:., which was the 2111 of Augull, he got n ai:d old the profecutrix that he had - no Mt mcy in his pot: feflion. This rather difplealed her, as the c:4l. ceived fuck to be very unlike the trca:inent had been accujomcd to receive from r: a remonarated with him upon the impirpriety of his behaviour, when he laid that the tiwuld be e.war rlrtrly futilfred, if the would fend her fervant alrng with him to the Thatched This the prole cutrix &dined to do, and the priiuner left the houfe. She afterwards miffed the artic','s n u n. cioned in the indklment, which the had teen the preceding evening upon the table, betore going to bed. She fufpeeted the prifoner having taken them; but the had no opportunity of accuting him until the 24th of September, when the faw him coming out of Covent-Garden Play-houfe. Upon that occafion the charged him with the robbery, and having procured atlittance carried him to the watch.houfe in Bond-ttreet. By a duplicate, which was found in the prifo ner's lodgings, the ear-rings and pin were found at a pawn-broker's, where the prifoner pawned them between ten and twelve o'clock on the 2 tft of Au. gulf, for ss. Both the profecutrix and the pawn•broker fwore they had not the leatt doubt of the identity of the prifoner. The fervant of the profecutrix fwore alto, that the faw him at her miltrefs's lodgings on the night of the soth of Auguit, and to his afking her to follow him to his lodgings, and sheen to the Thatch ed Houfe Tavern, which her miarcfs refufcd. In his defence the prifoner gave in a written paper, admitting that he went home with the pro fecuttiz to her lodgings on the zoth of Augult.— }-Ie denied, however, having tiolen the ear-rings and gold pin, which, on th , : contrary, bad been gsven to him by Mifs Heather as a mark of her ay/intim andlirong regard. He wilhed to return, the cololiment, and theretore folicitrd the attendance ot her fervant to his lodgings, by velivin he might remit a token equally demonarative of his invi,ab:e regard. He then left the houfe and walked tj'- wards his own lodgings. When at th•!door,he was wry much furprifid to find that he wa., unattemied by the fervant; and in order to fet things to riBiit, he endeavoured to regain the lad's lodsin?;s ; but being ignorant of the town and an emit e anger; 'he was unable to do Lb. He had (lly z“,entiy arrived in this country from the Welt Indies, and had no trier d to come forward in his behalf but one, whom he was afraid illnels would detain. The COMMON SENJEANT summed up the cafe, and obferved, that it the Jury believed the evi dence, they would find the prifoner—Guilty by their yerdiEt. The Jury prennunced The COMMON SERJEANT laid to the prifoner, you have had gteat good Icrtune, in not being tried on the tint indictment, which is for a capital offence. I than not try hint on the other india ments, alluding to others with which he Hands charged, which are for pilfering a number of arti cles from unfortunate women, with whom he had been in company.—The safe bn which - he is con. vied 'is a tranfportable offence. • 7. johnfon and J.

Mr. William Jennings, who had been left in charge of all the property in the houfe, as well as the adjoining premifes, depoffd, that on the morn ing fated in the indiament, he was alarmed about two o'clock by a very extraordinary -kind of noife. His fufpicions were immediately excited, and he refolved to go down (lairs to examine wh,•- ther every thing was fafe.
