We cannot insert the communication of Amicus Curia, unless the writer will authenticate his statement, and favour us, confiden tially, with his name. Want of space compels us, this day, though reluctantly, to post. pone the insertion of some remarks which we feel called upon to offer, respecting the absurd and ruinous monopolies enjoyed by our arcat Natkmal Theatres:—but they shall appear on Monday. By the Flanders Mail this day despatches hare been T eceiv e d at. the Foreign Office from the Right Hon. Sir Cn. a LLB B 6 OT, our Ambassador at the Hague. When, in our comments of yesterday on Mr. POW LITT 1 Tnomesox's motion for a revision of taxation, we ex- I pressed an anxious desire, and an ardent hope that the independent Members of Parliament might be excited to " one struggle more" in the good cause ; wo did not venture to anticipate either the immediate approximation of such a struggle, or the attainment of so complete a triumph as the friends of the people—the zealous adwo eates of constitutional right, and national integrity—have achieved in the Committee of Supply on the Navy Esti• mates. Well may Mr. GOULBURN deprecate the very 'Janie of a Committee hereafter, and claim for the Govern ment the exclusive regulation of our financial arrange ments, and the uncontrolled disposal of the public trea sure! The Marquis of BLANDFORD'S determined oppo sition to the grant of supplies at the close of a midnight debate—distressing as it a as to the Treasury Bench, and ominous as the prelude to more decided and decisive mea sures for the protection of the people—was nothing to the overthrow of last night, effected, be it remembered, by a majority—not numerous indeed—but sufficiently powerful to check the rapacious career of any Ministry, however absolute, obstinate, or self-willed. For that evertlirow, and for the cheering promise which it holds out t f the prompt enforcement of more rigorous magma of economy, the country is indebted to Sir ROBERT H caw , : ;—who, with great diffidence as to the miccess of his motion, but with a thorough conviction of its importance, and of the necessity and justice which dic tated its adoption, proposed the reduction of Two PEN htoNs granted to the sons of TWO MINISTERS of the Crown. The occasion, we must own, was one which, of all others, afforded the least prospect of a trial of strength between the Ministry and the Representatives of the People ; and was, perhaps, the very last which we should have regarded as calculated, in the slightest degree, to facilitate the great work of reduction, by the overthrow of that unconstitutional barrier which has hitherto pro tected those " desartless persons" who batten on the spoliation of the land, from the impartial and retributive visitation of the just and equitable spirit of retrenchment and reform. Sir Rosetta. HERON'S motion had been more once postponed, and he would doubtless have had he hearty concurrence—aye, and the thanks to boot—of -ur prudent and patriotic Ministers, in postponing it Yte• die ; but nothing has been lost by the delay ; whilst it has deprived the guardians of the Treasury of the boast of having " scrupulously investigated every item of ex penditure with a view to its reduction, and carried that re duction to the lowest possible extent !" The saving, it is which has thus been wrung from the ministerial grasp, 1, a mere trifle—a " beggarly" ninehundred pounda per annutu—but what of that ? It is just tie well on the credit side of the national account, as in the pockets of twoGen ilenlen who can very well afford to make such a sacrifice to the public good. The discussion, brief as it was, is entitled to peculiar attention—not even so much with feterence to the exposure which has been so unsparingly made of the Pension-System, as for the " lame and im- Potent"—but, at the same time daring —attempt of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER to defend the lavisl; and profligate abuse of the public money.—After sums to the amount of THREE MILLIONS, ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SIX THOUSAND, FOUR HUNDRED AND ELEVEN POUNDS, SEVEN SHILLINGS, AND TEN PENCE, had been voted away, almost without opposition —and certainly without any such show of objection or repugnance as could excite a doubt in the breast of the, most fastidious Minister of an unqualified compliance with all his demands—the proposal of " a grant of 174,5001. for superannuations, pensions and allowances, and in lieu of half-pay to persons who had been em ployed in the Naval Service,"—was met by Sir ROBERT HERON, with an amendment, " That the sum of 9001. 'the amount of the pensions granted to the Hon. Captain DUNDAS and the Hon. Captain BATIIURST, should be deducted from the amount of the vote." It was in vain that the CHANCELLOR " endeavoured to correct some erroneous views of the Hon. Baronet,"— or " to guard other Members of the House from falling into similar mis takes ;"—in vain did he " trust he would be able to satisfy the House that it was a case in which the Treasury did not depart from the ordinary course;"--in vain did he object to the " extraneous matter" in which it was" contended that the gentlemen who were the subject of the debate were highlx connected with distinguished personages who enjoyed important situations under Government :"—by the bye, it required no great contention to show that they " were connected with personages who enjoyed important situations under Government," seeing that one was the son of Lord MELV ILLE, and the other of tke Earl of BAT III: RST;—but for what the said personages have ever been distinguished, unless indeed for their tenacious ad herence to office and its emoluments, we are at a loss to conceive.—But in vain, we say, did the CHANCELLOR resort to such efforts at delusion ;—in vain did he urge the House " to consider that it was not his business"—or theirs either, he would have said—" to inquire who they were—and that an opposition to the vote ought not to be generated out of their rank :"—in rain did he " hope that because these gentlemen had noble ancestors, it would not disentitle them to a compensation for their ser- vices."—ln vain did Mr. PEEL endeavour to conciliate the opinion of the House, and catch a few stray votes by a pathetic appeal to the " independent support" that he had received " during the progress of that great mea sure which had last year received the sanction of the Legislature"—in vain did he protest his gratitude for that support which " as long as he lived, he never could forget;" in vain did he urge—a truth that no man will deny.— " that reductions of this nature, whon they became necessary,"—and have they not become necessary, Mr. PEEL ?—" were still a painful duty :"—in vain did he express his hope that the House would not embarrass the Government by obliging them needlessly to inflict a personal hardship :"—the House—that is, the honest and incorrupt part of it—was inexorable ; and, by the well merited success of this most commendable opposition, proved that no ministerial influence can eventually resist the constitutional and determined efforts of the Repre sentatives of the People, in the faithful discharge of their most important duty to their constituents and to their country. Mr. PEEL had, indeed, the candour to ad mit, that " undoubtedly the Government had no right to grant these allowances, if the House disapproved of it ;" and we most earnestly entreat the Members of the House who have so unequivocally " disapproved" of the grant in these cases, unshrinkingly to pursue such a course as they have now triumphantly begun, and subject the Government to " the painful duty"—not " of inflicting personal hardships," but of redressing the wrongs of the people—and alleviating the public burthen by the reduc tion of every pension and every sinecure so undoservodly enjoyed. The grant was rejected by a majority of EIG lITEEN 1 !—the numbers being, for Sir R. liznores Amendment 139—Against it 121. And the result was hailed with loud cheers by the House.—The system totters. As the period assigned for the invasion of Barbary by France, now rapidly approaches, without the smallest demonstration of interference, solicitude, or alarm, on the part of our Ministers, whose similar apathy, when Russia advanced upon the Pruth, entailed upon us so much of present and future repentance,—it is time to in. quire into the project of our neighbours, and to ascertain with what view France embarks so formidable a force merely to let fall a passing blow of vengeance on so despicable an enemy ? From the magnitude of the army collecting for this expedition, .the great maritime prepa rations, and the unusual attention it creates in France— so long accustomed to send forth hosts—it is natural to apprehend that nothing short of conquest and possession is aimed at by the imaders ; and it therefore devolves upon us to consider the consequences likely to arise from their success. Algerine barbarians. By the multitude of privateers and gun-boats ,with which she could then cover both shores, the passage of those sew; would he at her mercy. She would open a well guarded outlet to the Atlantic, and new harbours for her outward cruisers, by extending her influence with her neighbours of Morocco ; and thus render Gibraltar useless as a key—by securing the gate.

Surgeon Ore came first ; I stated to him what had occuned, and said, " I leave the gehleman in your care." I took leave of Mr. O'Grady and left the barracks, having previously cemented with my hand on his left side, where he felt the ball. which I found to be the case. Witness was in the 3.kl regiment thirteen years. Was acquainted with Captain Smith for two years. Copt. sti.:th is an Irishman ; his family live in the county of Cork; he was very much liked by his brother officers; I never heard he had a confl,cr with any military gentleman or civilian ; I heard he had a quarrel lately at the theatre, hut do not lulu*, with whom. Did not hear any shot, as there was a very high wind. Mr. O'Grady said to n e in the coach, " Doctor, Captain Sundt ought not to have fi•ed at me, for I was not in the wrong." tie said nothing of not having fired. When I came to Mr. Ill•Natuara's room. Mr. O'Grady took front hi. person a paper ; it was a testamentary disposal of certain sums of money—nething in reference to the duel, but merely leav ing the monies to his father. Did not hear that any accommodation had beet. offered on the ground and refused. Res. J. Harley, F. f.C.D. deposed as follows : I was eking in Nassau-street on Wednesday at half-past three o'clock. I saw a cabriolet driving from Alerrion-square, towards Grafton-street. In the piece where the cab was moving, in the same line, across, the there was a carriage and a gentleniau riding. aced the carriage was sattionaly. The cabriolet un the College wall side of the street, and tic carriage on the other. The gentlec.an was riding on huge. back, between the cab and the College-wall. His ilorile was walk ing in the opposite direction to the cabriolet. The geialeman in. horseback, was pressed an close to the flag-way, that he was obliged suddenly to move his horse on the flag-way ; in doing so I distinctly observed him making use of his hand wilt: die whip its it, lint as it appeared to me for the purp o se of keeping the horse, from coming in upon him, he was driveu so cake to the flag. Under similar circumstances I would have done what I conceived Mr. O'Grady to have done. a.r. 0 Grady rode away. apparently un concerned. The officer driving the cabriolet, abruptly pulled tip his horse, leaped out of the cabriolet, and pursued Mr. O'Grady. I th..!it saw him inflicting very severe blows of the whip on Mr.tt'Grads'a back and shoulders, and I think one across his hat from a mark I saw upon it. The officer returned to the cabriolet at the comer of Daw. son-street. Mr. O'Grady followed, and overtook him at the corner of Dawson-street. There were words exchanged which I did not hear. Mr. O'Grady rode up Dawson -street, and the officer continued in the cab, towards Grafton-street. I consider Air. O'Grady ill hewed, and don't think he merited what he received. The street was ex ceedingly narrow. It was a matter of perfect necessity Mr. O'G7a tly's going on the flag. way. I did not construe what I have already said Mr. O'Grady had done, as a menacing act, very far from it. He walked slowly away after the flog4ing, as slowly as before he came into collision with the cab If Mr. O'Grady had pull .d up he must have been rode down by the cab ; in fact there wits no ph,co for hint to pull up in. The cab was going rapidly. . Surgeon Ore, Bth Hussars.—He said he was called about a .paar. ter to seven on Thursday morning. I found Mr. O'Grady at Mr. Ill'lslatnara's, lying on a sofa wounded through the body. Mr. O'Grady said he did not expect Captain Smith would have fired at him, but he forgave him. Examined the pistols hi Mr. M•Nama. ra's room ; one case was detonating, the other flint and steel. 'foe pistol apparently discharged was a detonating pistol ; it was filthy, and die percussion cap was broken off as if the pistol had been fired. I have known Mr. APNarnara for six months ; believe lie was per feetly ignorant of duels, and never attended one before. A. Reid, Esq. of York -street, deposed as follows : - Was in Nassau-street on Wednesday, at three o'clock. I saw two gentle. men in uniform driving a gig rapidly, near Dawson-street. I saw a gentlemen riding slowly on the College-wall side of the street, to wards Merton-square. I thought the gig must have come in con. tact with the horse. The gig was proceeding rapidly in an oblique direction across the street. The gentleman on horseback sepeand to be forced upon the foot.way by the approximation of the rig wheel, and so avoided coming in contact with it. At that moment be stooped forward. What produced the motion I cannot tell, the gig-bead intercepting my view. Immediately after he appeared to have cleared the gig, and passed on towards 3lerrion.square tl e gig was drawn up, and a gentleman came out of the gig—and fol kited the gentleman. In ten paces he overtook hint and struck Wm round the head and face with the whip, and repeated the blows with great violence, and continued to flog him; he struck him 20 sr 30 times. The horse appeared frightened and anxious to pro. mod, while the gentleman riding him reined him in, anxious, as it apposed, to ascertain the cause of the outrage, of which he seemed t. When he ceased him he returned to his gig, and gentleman on horseback ti ati ed in reining in his horse, and came up to him as he was about to ascend into his gig. .1 heard no words from Mr. O'Grady, but I heard Capt. Smith say • I ant Captain Smith, of the 32d, if you have anything to say to me.' — Mr. O'Grady turned his hone ' and rode quietly up Dawson-street. . The Surgeon - General swornand examined—l was not acquainted with the parties except by sight. I saw Mr. O'Grady on Thurs day. I was called on by Mr. M'Namara, to proceed to Portobello Wracks, to see Mr. O'Grady, who was wounded, in his rooms; Mew Mr. O'Grady, who had received a gun-shot wound throu i ;ll the body. Mr. O'Connor saw the horsewhipping. Ile never saw a spaniel, or any dog more cruelly, or so cruelly beaten , by a dog-teacher. Captain Edwards, of the 324 ltegt. swot n-LA case of pistols pro. duced, Capt. Edwards identified as his property. He had every reason to believe one of them was that used by Capt. Smith. '/'he pistols were flint and steel pistols. The bullet extracted from the body of the deceased was produced, and it was rather small for the pistol, but this was accounted for by Captain Edwards saying the moo was lost. Capt. Markham applied to witness in the evening of Patrick's day for the loan of the pistols ; that the action of a detonating pistol is quicker than one with flint and steel. Have heard nom Capt. Markham since the duel by post. I bunted a quantity of papers, and I believe that letter was among them ; 1 will not swear positively, however, that it was; can't tell where he was when it was written ' • I neither saw the postmark , nor do I know the day on which it was written. Dues not know tar ever heard of Captain Smith being engaged in any duel before; be lieves he never was engaged either as principal or second. Cap tain Markham, I believe, never was engaged in any duel before. The impression left on Captain Smith's mind was, that he had re ceived a most unwarrantable assault from Mr. O'Grady, by word and by act. I heard that from Captain Markham on the evening of the occurrence. Captain Markham told me he was driving in a gig with Captain Smith; they passed a gentleman on horseback ; that the wheel of the gig came very near the gentleman's hone, without touching either hint or the horse ; the gentleman's horse swerved upon the footway; as the rider was passing the horse and gig, the horseman swore at the party in the gig; the only words I can swear to, as having been repeated by Captain Markham, were " God damn you." Since the duel I again asked Cain. Markham what the words used were, when he informed me they were Goo damn you, mind what you are at." The impression on Captain Smith's mind was, that the words were personally addressed to him. As the gig was passing, the horseman bent forward and delivered a blow at Capt. Smith's bead. The blow descended on the capote or cover of the gig. I have since seen the head of the gig which still bore the marks as of a lash six in, - as of a _ or seven inches long, 'tiVrecly in tise line Cipt. Markham told me Capt. Smith had been vested, and in such a direction as if a blow had been aimed at Captain Smith's had. When I spoke to Capt. Smith he had no idea it 'could for a moment be questioned that Mr. O'Cliarly war the aggressor. Tile lash of the g g whip could not have left such a mark. I know of iteation haw' been made by U w4adr no commum_ flaring astute by .Jr. O'Grady, either is the way of explanation or otherwise, to Captain Smith, previou:ly to the sending of the message. Can ycu tell who sen t the message ? Captain Markham told me Mr. O'Grady sent the message. Cap tain Smith was at that time under the impression that the assault had been most unwarrantable on the part of Mr. O'Grady, and so strong were Captain Smith's feelings on the subject,. that he drove Captain Markham to Mr. O'Grsdy's residence immediately alter the transaction. Captain 3latkham left his name at the door, Mr. O'Grady not being at home. If Mr. O'Grady had not sent a mes. sage to him, l'Aptain Smirch would have scut one to Alt. O'Grad.. Mr. D. M' Namara sworn—Lieut. 111'Namara waited on me on ,;~.. THE KING. WIN nson, MA nut 26.—The KING has not, during the present week, been out from the Castle; although his, phaeton and usual retinue were, by order, in attendance almost daily. On Wednesday the Duke of WELLING TON arrived at the Castle a little before one o'clock, and had upwards of an hour's audience of his MAJESTY, when he left the Castle on his return to town. The stranger who has latterly arrived in Windsor, and who has made some efforts to see the KING, is still resident at the Castle Inn. It is said that his name is NEWTON, and that he is known to Sir RICHARD BI RNIE. His MAJESTY has had, during the present week, a slight cold, which he caught in the course of his drives last week. This forenoon Sir HENRY H.%I.FORD, who almost daily attends a young gentleman at Eton College, paid a visit to his MAJESTY at the Castle. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

YORK SPRING ASSIZES—March 25. TRIAL OF SMART, FOR THE EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT THE NEW BETTING ROOMS AT DONCASTER. The Orand Jury having, on Tuesday last, returned a true bill against Isaiah Smart and Thomas Jenkins, his waiter, for stealing sovereigns to the amount of 1,7001. in the Doncaster betting-rooms, this morning was appointed for the parties to take their trials. At nine o'clock, Mr. Justice JAMEs ALLAY PARKE took his seat on the bench, and the prisoners, who were most respectably dressed, were placed at the bar. The witnesses were all ordered out of Court. The trial appeared to excite a great deal of interest, particularly int he sporting circles, and the Court was crowded to excess. The prisoner Smart is the proprietor of the house situate in Brydges-street, near Drury-lane Theatre, formerly known as Mother H.'s. He was part-proprietor of the New Betting-rooms at Don caster, and the money alleged to have been stolen was taken from an iron chest by means of a false key, during one of the races in September last year. The Court was occupied till eight o'clock of Thursday night (when our letter left York) in the examination of the witnesses called on behalf of the prosecution, and there appeared no chance of the trial terminating till after midnight. The evidence was of that doubtful character, that a verdict of acquittal was confidently an ticipated. YORK, ONE O'CLOCK FRIDAY MORNING. RECEIVF.D BY EXPRIISS THIS DAY. The trial of SmAnT terminated aft,sr an investigation which occupied fourteen hours and • half, just before midnight. The chief evidence in support of the prosecution was Ooodered, the proprietor of the Royal Saloon, Piccadilly, who was the prosecutor, and the principal owner of the 1,700 sovereigns that were stolen from the New Betting Rooms at Doncaster. (ioodered was under examination for several hours, and in his cross-examination there was a moat extraordinary exposé of the gambling trickery practised on the turf. The witness was so cut up by the able cross-examina tion that the jury discredited his evidence. Mr. Justice J. A. Park, who appeared to be quits wcariLd with the tedious investigation, as also were the jury, stated, that unless full reliance could be placed on the statement of Goodered, they were bound to acquit the parties. After a short deliberation, the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. the 17th March, in the afternoon; he stated that .._ pas concerned Barbary, to the inhabitants of the southern coast of in a very unpleasant sii.dr, and wished my advice, es he never was France, offers a most alluring climate :—the soil presents concerned before in a ass of the kind, and was pttfictly i g nor a nt o f the rules of such business.
