The Bailiffs have appGintel a day for this purpose. • We understand that many Liverymen have ex pressed a desire to attend in their gowns on Wednes day, when her MAJE-sTY goes to St. Paul's, to form a line from Temple. Bar to the Church. Many of. the Parishes and Trades who have presented Ad eresses to her MAJESTY. wish to attend in procession with their different colours, each person wearing a white cockade. Sir ROBERT Wir.sow has been re quested to head a cavalcade to form a body guard to meet her AIAJESTIT at Hyde Park Corner, and to accompany her to St. Paul's. We learn that a Meet ing of persons to form a Committee for the arrange ment, wt.l take place on Saturday, at Freemason s Tavern, at one o'clock, where any persons wishing to be on die Committee may attend. Her MAJESTY, on Saturday last, honoured Wit,' Lt.taiWILLIANIS, Esq. M.P. by her presence at dinner, az his mansion fronting the River, next Cumberland Gardens. A distinguished company were present to receive the QUEEN, amongst whom were—his Royal' Highness the Duke of Sussex, and Prince Leosotri, Lady ANIS HAMILTON, Lady CAROLINE DAD/ER, Mr. Alderman WOOD and family, and several fo reigners of distinction. Mr. WILLIAMS'S mansion is that which was inhabited by the late Duke of BRUNS WICK, her MAJEST - i'S only brother, who fell at Water loo, where his Serene Highness was frequently in the habit of receiving her MAJESTY, when Princess of WALES, and her beloved and lamented daughter, the late Princess CHARLOTTE. The Hon. KEPPEL CRAVEN has written another letter to the Earl of LIVERPOOL, desiring to know whether his Lordship had received his former letter, as no answer had been returned ? The Noble Lord has acknowledged the first letter, but had not yet received his MAJEarY's commands upon it. A Meeting of the Inhabitants of Gravesend was held at the Town Hall on Thursday last, the MAYOR ia the Chair, at which an Address was voted to the nal of DARNLEY, thanking his Lordship for his zeal and ability in opposing so successfully the Bill of Pains and Penalties against her MAJESTY the QUEEN. The Address, signed by about eight hundred of the inhabitants, was on Monday presented to his Lord ship at Cobham Hall, by the MAYOR, accompanied by nearly one hundred of the inhabitants, to which a suitable reply was made. The Deputation was mo,t hospitably entertained by the Noble Earl. Tuesday evening, the Gentlemen of East Gate, Rochester, voted an Address to Lord DARNLEY, for his manly and zealous exertions on behalf of her MA• •JrSTY, during the late anomalous proceedings. The Courier Francais has the following paragraph : " During the riots in London, after the acquittal of the QUEEN, the Courier Office, which was besieged by the populace, was guarded by 150 men, and the house of Lord LONSDA LE (Query ? LAUDERDALE), by 2.00 armed Scotsmen!!! JEAN LAMBERT TALLIEN, of revolutionary noto riety, died at Paris on the 16th, aged 54. This man vas originally a porter, then a steward. He became a clerk under Government, and was employed in the Monitcur Newspaper in 1791. He was made Secre tary-General of the Commune of Paris, and a Mem ler of the Council of Five Hundred. In Egypt he ;vas Editor of the Decade Egyptienne, and a Com missioner of. Taxes. His last office was Commis soner of Commerce at.Alicant, under NAPOLEON.- 1. HUE, the King's Valet-de-Chambre, and Madame DE STA EL, have declared, that during the massa cres of the Revolution, he hazarded his own life to :nue theirs. He was, nevertheless, accused of being connected with the horrible crimes of the year 3. The arrest and destruction of ROBESPIERRE were owing to TALLIES* He rushed to the Tribune, ex patiated upon the crimes of the Revolutionary Go-, vernment, drew forth a dagger, and turning towards the bust of BRUTUS, swore that he would plunge it in the heart of the tyrant, if ,his colleagues refused to break the chains of their enslaved country. ROBE SPIERRE desired to reply, but in vain. They would not Lear him, but passed on to the decree which sentenced him to the scaffold. TALLIEN married Madame de EYNTEN AY, the present princess of Chimay. He was one of the Regicides, and was included in the law of perpetual banishment, but permitted by the SIN(, on the plea of ill health, to remain in France. lie died in a state of penury. ADVANTAGE OP IGNORANCE.—The following cir. cninsta..ce took place hi a country town a short time —A fellow, hearing there was a letter for him the Pmt-.office, accoiuinOy went for it.

A detachment of King's and Company's troops, amounting to 130 men, has arrived at Portsmouth. from India, under the command of Captain Dams, of the 34th regiment, with eaptain JENOUR, 69th regiment, and Lieutenant Bland, Royals. As the General Palmer, in which ship they came home, has disposed of her cargo of teak wood to Government, mostly of the growth of Rajahmundry, on the Goda very river, the King's troops are to be re-.embarked on board the Caroline brig for Gravesend, in order to be turned over, as invalids and time-expired men generally are, to the Officer at Chatham.

IMPONTANT TO MAILMISS.—The Island of Guernley has now changed its appearance from the sea. The tower erected by the States, in honour of General Sir Jonw Dort.", which fell down in 1818, is now rebuilt upon the high S. S.W. point of Guern- sey. This column is 100 feet elevated ;above its foundation, and 500 feet perpendicular from the sea. Ships falling in with Guernsey front a N.W. direction, will see only part of this tower ' • but when Guernsey bears from E.N. E.N.E. to N. and the new church steeple Of Torteval, on the W. S.W. the high ground of Guernsey will appear very lofty, so that mariners will never be deceived, as has been the case often, by taking Guern sey for the Land's End or Scilly Islands. DorLes column may be discovered seven or eight leagues at sea in all directions ; but particularly from the 8. and S.W. and W.S.W. This column and Torteval steeple bears nearly E. and W. parallel with the south coast of Guernsey, the distance about four miles. A new church has been built on the island of Sark, and stands two thirds the distance from the south part of that island to the N. most conspicuous When Sark bears from N. and N.W. This church has no spire, but a small tower on its western extremity. It is said, that for some days past active prepara tions have been making at the ports of Portsmouth and Plymouth ; and it is confidently asserted, that two line-of-battle ships and sir frigates are intended for the Mediterranean, and one line-of-battle ship and three frigates for the coast of Portugal. An Algerine squadron of two frigates, a galley, and an armed . polacca, has appeared at Tangiers, with nine merchant-vessels ; among which was a Spanish trader, and a number of European slaves. The Spanish Government has sent for the coast of Africa, a ship of 74 guns, and a frigate of S 6 guns. Four ships of war, and five transports, have sailed from Cadiz: their destination is California. Another instance of the comfoits which await those whom the desire of .. seeing the world" has induced' to roam, has lately occurred, in an unceremonious i visit made by some plundering Arabs on a young English Baronet, his servant, and attendant janizary, on their way to the Holy Land. Sir F. HENNIKER was lately attacked by a detached banditti, near Je richo, his baggage captured, his suite maltreated, and the adventurous Baronet himself stretched upon the plain from the blow of a sabre. He has had the good fortune, however, to recover both his health and property; the latter, on applying to the Authorities, and making, at the suggestion of the Chieftain ) " a handsome present" in return. At the breaking up of a tavern dinner party, two of the company fill down stairs, the one tumbling to the first landing-place, the other rolling to the bottom. It %VHS observed the first seemed dead drunk. " Yes," said a wag, " but he's not so far gone as the zenticcuan below!" iiyi VICE.CHANCELLORB COURT, NOVEMBER es. THE EARL OF IMAFEZERURT v. 'tai DUKE OF MARL.. BOROUGH. This case, which stood over from last Wednesday, in order to give the Counsel on both sides time to obtain additional information, came on this morning, when it was agreed that the Duke of Marlborough should' bring an ejectment for the recovery of the 18 acres in dispute, Lord Churchill acknowledging him self in possession, and setting up no plea in bar of the ejectment, except his title to the eighteen acres under the will of the late Duke. COURT OF ICING'S BENCH, NOVEMBER 22. THE KING W. SIR k RANCIS BURDETT. Mr. BLACKBURNE resumed his argument in this case, and, atter remarking upon the observations 'f the Counsel on the other side, he contended that evi dence ought to have been admitted which the Learned Judge had refused—namely, to shew the innocence of the writer's motive; and concluded by observing, that many passages received from the Judge an un just and severe construction. Mr. Justice BEST—" It is quite impossible that any remarks of yours can offend me." Mr. BLACKBURNE—" I should be extremely sorry to offend your Lordship ; but I have a duty to per form, and I must endeavour to discharge it." Mr. EVANS followed on the same side. He said that he should, in the first instance, take it for granted that an offence must be tried in the county where it was committed; and if it had been committed partly in two counties, it could not, without an Act of Par liament, be triedin either. And in the second place, he should contend, that if writing were an offence at all, it was a separate and distinct offence from publi cation ; and, in support of this latter position, the Learned Counsel cited two cases—the first from the Year's Book, and the other from Roll's Abridgment, and he cited also a few additional cases, in support of this position, to those already mentioned by the Counsel on the same side. The act of publication was necessary, to constitute the crime of libel ; and the mere putting of a letter in a past-office, did not amount to publication. To publish wts to notify to the world, to divulgate ; and though the sending of a challenge was a criminal offence, yet that pro ceeded upon a very different principle. Mr. Justice EAYLET—" In criminal cases, the sending of the letter can affect the party, but not in civil cases, because it cannot prejudice him in the es timation of any other person." Mr. Evasts then proceeded to shew, by a variety of citations, that in all cases where there was not evi dence of the crime, the crime itself must not be pre ,umed ; and then proceeded to remark upon the Judge's refusing evidence as to the innocent inten tion of the writer of the libel. This mode cf prcceed ing was, in fact, filing a bill of discovery in a crimi nal action. The Government had filed an indict. meet in Leicestershire, as it would now appear, for the purpose of ascertaining from the defendant's own mouth where he had committed the offence, if not in Leicestershire. If such a confession were suffered to be extorted in this way, the Attorney-General would then be able to bring in an indictment for an offence avowedly committed in the county of Middlesex by Sir Francis Burdett. He confessed he was particu larly anxious as to the result of this momentous case; he felt the persons engaged in it would all-more or less go down to posterity justified or stigmatized by the nature of the decision given in this case. He was satified that, from the patient and attenti -e man• ner in which their Lordships had listened to the ar gument, they would equally satisfactorily discharge their duty by the decision they were about to give in the case. . Mr. SCARLETT addressed a few observations to the Court on the case of the seven Bishops, as it had been endeavoured to be applied to the present case. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—" The case now before the Court has occupied a considerable time in argu ment, and references have been made on either side to a great many authorities. I should wish certainly to have some time to consider the applicability of those cases by a personal reference to the authorities cited; and I should be the more desirous to have this opportunity, in order that there might be no opening left to any description of persons to infer that we had come to a decision on the subject without due and sufficient deliberation. Whatever may be the opi nions of others, I am rather at a loss to see the grounds on which a new trial can be granted, according to the state of the law as it now stands." • Mr. Justice BAYLEY said, that in looking at the ob servations which had been made by the Learned Judge on the trial of this case, he felt it a duty im posed on him to say that he should have gone along with that Learned Judge, had he presided at the trial. He would add, that he believed the Judges of the land, however, would one and all wish that the time should never arrive when it would no longer be per mitted to Counsel to comment on or discuss the pro priety of the sentence they might pronounce, or the opinions they entertained. Fearless of any animosity, or other consequences arising from the avowal of his sentiments, the Learned Judge had done that upon the trial which he conceived to be his duty to do; and he (Justice Bayley) had no hesitation in saying, that he should have made almost the same observa tions, in the same situation, were he possessed of the same talent. Mr. Justice BssT said, that although the question before the Court had is some degree been connected with the Liberty of the Press, he could not help ex pressing himself extremely sorry to have heard the language which had been adopted in the course of argument this day. Mr. BLACRBURNI rose and said, if the allusion was meant to be applied to him by the Learned Judge, he was perfectly unconscious of having said anything that could have called forth the observation made by the Learned Judge. If the remarks he had made could be considered to have any injurious tendency, he must then say he was heartily sorry for it; but he had hoped he was the last man likely to have made use of arguments of any such tendency. The judgment was accordingly deferred. TUE KING, AT TILE SUIT OF TILE MAGISTRATES or MANCHESTER V. THOMAS CHA PIMA N. Mr. ScAncarr moved the judgment of the Court on the defendant, who had been tried before Mr. Justice PARKE., at Lancaster, and found guilty of publishing a libel of and concerning the adniiiiiara r b, , • . . . on of justice at Manchester, and reflecting , on the conduct of the Magistrates there. The libel was published i:1 The Mane4e:ter Obseriver, and consisted of observations on a trial which took place at the Quarter Sessions ar Manchester. • Several affidavits were put in and read on the part of the defendant. His own affidavit stated, that he had lent the former Proprietor and Editor of the Paper 1.:1CO3 for which as a security, the said Pro prietor, Mark Wardell, transferred to the defendant's name the property in the said Paper, but that in fact he was only a mortgaee on it, the said Wardell continuing to act as F. ; and that he had no knowledge of the publication of the libel in ques tion, till he was waited on by the agent for the pro secution to know the -name of the writer, which he afterwards offered to rive up on condition that the prosecution against 'himself should he suspended. The affidavit further stated, that defendant had been put to great expense in attending this Court in Eas ter Term to receive judgment, and had been confined since June last in Lancaster Castle, and treated with great severity there. Mr. HOLT addressed the Court in Mitigation of punishment. He dwelt upon the fact stated in the defendant's affidavit, that he was ignorant of the publication of the libel, being only nominally the Proptietor .of the Paper in which it was published. He reminded their Lordships that they had always distinguished between the case of political writer; wbo wilfully and knowingly offend, and those persons who, by construction of law, were rendered liable. _ _ _ Mr. S CARLETT addressed the Court in aggrava , tion of punishment, and insisted principally on the defendant having gone down to trial, where he was defended by Learned Counsel, yet at the timelo thing was said about his being only the mortgagee, and not the Proprietor of the Paper in which the libel was published. The defendant then offered to address the Court. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, the Court wotila hear him, though it was irregular. Mr. Chapman spoke with great feeling and energyt If it were not he said, that he did his duty at Man chester as became a free Englishman, a fair trades man, and a parishioner, as he should always endea vour to do, the Magistrates of that town, whose cha' ratter he need not describe, would riot, he was per suaded, have ever instituted the present prosecution against him. But if the imprisonment which the Court might inflict should not put an end to his life, he should not fail to struggle for revenge against those persecutors who had commenced this prosecu tion against him, because he would not subscribe to their insolent dominion, who had pursued him with unrelenting virulence for years, as he could prove by the affidavits of some of the most respectable in habitants of Manchester. Through those persecutors, he and his family had been reduced from compara tive affluence to absolute distress ; and he called upon their Lordships, as Christians, as honest men, as free Englishmen, not to consign a fellow-subject to complete destruction, whose only offence was to feel for his countrymen, and to reprobate those through whose tyranny and injustice they were ren dered miserable. He appealed to their Lordships for protection against his persecutors. Those per secutors had already done him quite enough' of in jury to satisfy the most vindictive spirit. Through the order of the Manchester Magistrates alone, he had reason to believe, he was so grossly ill-treated in Lancaster gaol; but he could have shewn much more of ill-treatment in his affidavits, if he had not been called upon to curtail those affidavits according to the rule of that Court. The LORD CHIEF JusncE.-04 You have put in affidavits, and stated what you chose. It was pro• bably matter of discretion in omitting what you now • state." Mr. Justice BAYLEYe--" We can only act on the affidavit as it is before us." The defendant said he might just as well have been brought up last Term, as have been incarcerated for five months as he had been. Mr. Justice I3AYLEY, in passing sentence, observed, that if the defendant, when applied to, had given up the name of the author without attempting to make conditions, he would probably not have been pro ceeded against. The defendant sheaved a disposition again to ad dress the Court. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.—" You have already imposed a difficult task upon the Court—to forget what you have just said. Do not increase that diffi culty by saying anything more." Mr. Justice BAYI,EY then said, the Court taking into its consideration all the circumstances, sentenced him to be imprisoned in the House of Correction, Cold Bath-fields, for two months, and then to find sureties for his good behaviour for three years, him self in £lOO, and two sureties in £lO each. The recognizances of Mr. Chapman himself then taken, and he left the Court with a tipstafF. Thursday, the 16th inst. having terminated M - 4 SWANN'S confinement, who is one of the Repraenta. tives for the Borough of Penrhyn,, at twelve o'clock the bells rang out a merry peal, bands of music pa raded the town for the remainder of the day, fire. works were exhibited, and his health repeatedly drank with heartfelt satisfaction. A letter from Berlin, dated November 7, says " The following circumstance may easily lead to various misrepresentations t—On the 18th olOctobcr, two inhabitants of this city, one of them formerly Manager of a Theatre, :he other a Citizen, informed the Police that a certain publican, named Schulze, had plotted to murder several persons cf distinctior, and had for this purpose procured two daggers, and also a dose of poison for himself, in case he should be arrested ; that he kept the daggers and the poison in a chest of drawers, which was particularly described. Though the Police had not much confidence in the two informers, it, however, should not disregard such ,a positive assertion. The house of Schulze was exa mined, and the articles found as described, as well as eleven ball cartridges. As Schulze could give no sufficient reason for having these things in his posses sion, and contradicted hitm.elf in his examination ; and as it was also known that he used inconsiderate lan guage, he Was put into confinement. The two in formers also, who were found to have evaded an arrest to which they had been condemned, were de tained. There has been no further examination, not any other persons arrested." t • 1 • .
