The Officers of the Navy fay fn :—a Britith ' Admiral Paid fo in the Houfe of Commons, and a Britifb General echoed the affertion, which proved it beyond the reach of incredulity. We moil quote the words of Mr. PITT himfelf, however, before we fubmit to this confellion of faith. Our Minifler aliened at a time when B , great as his power was, had not yet attained hi's leviathan matu rity; that it was not unlikely, by daring efforts on the part of France, fame fixty or tensity tlioufand foldiers might be thrown upon our fhores with arms in their bands. Mr. PITT has feldom ovet:rited the poffible afehietements of BONAOARTI. Sixty or feventy thoufand Frenchmen in England is, however, a ferious anticipation. We reckon on the final conqueft of thole men. Be it fo, but as we value our political falvation, let us beware of confounding final with immediate vhtory. The conqueft of even a final army could not be immediate; and what muff enfue from even a fortnight's conteft with io evaders on our native foil What, but the truth of that Icarian fyllem of paper credit ; thole waxen whips or imaginary wealth with which we fupport eurfelvei, remote from the danger, but which mull precipitate our fall before its full blaze. The conti nuance of one army in Britain would open the way for others.

The rumour very generally circulated ycllerday, of Mr. Monk°, the American Miniaer at this Court, having received intelligence of the adjUitTIICOI of the differences between the United States and Spain, i> without founstation.

The Officers of the Army of all ranks look, with much reafun, for an encreafe of their pay.

MIDDLESEX SESSthNi Nearly the whole of Thursday morning was occu pied by parifh appeals, cf very little public intereh. George Thor/pion appealed spina the contriaion of a Magiflrate in the fine of 201. for ading upon the river Thames as a Pilot,. when not duly authorifd ; but it appearing to the Bench, from the flateirreut can the part of the Appellant, that hr had reprefented Madill as a wherryman to thole who had employed him, but that he wa: able to,perforrn the ditty of a Pilot, the conviction was qoalhed. Yefterday Semite! Davis, George Wilkie, jots law mar Bartow. Marriott, and Sarah Grover, who flood convicted of a charge of confpiracy, with in- I lent to preclude Mr. John Hathaway from the be nefit of receiving his certificate under the Bankrupt LAWS, were brought up to receive the judgment of the Court. Davis made a flr . cng appeal to the humanity of the Court, and declared in the moll tolerrin manner that he had never been in company with Barrow and NPClutchy in? public hoofs, that he was entirely iii• nocent of the crime of which he had been convilled, though he had not the 'Manta dont)r that the Jury had given their vcrdill on the moll pure and equi table principles according to the evidence hef-re them. He faid that. if any credit might be placed or, the word of his fellow pritimers, they could of fore the Court of his innocence. In fad, it appeared to him, that the fads which were laid to his charge were foppurted only by the evidence of a perfon or moll profligate charader. He had been Mired to give the turn of ',tool. to have the matter crtmpro mifed, but confiding in his own innocence, he had determined to throw himfelf on the mercy of the Court, as hi. cafe was peculiarly hard. The other men prifoners fupported him in his at fertion of his own innocence, and begged the Court to take into its ferious confederation the bad charac ter of the perfun on whore evidence they fuppofed themfelves to have been convicted. The C 11•1234211, in peeing fentence, laid, " You, John Lawrence Barrow, George Winkle, John Mar• ryatt, and Samuel Davis, hand before the Court, convicted by the Jury, upon an indictment, charging that you, well knowing that a certain commit:lion .1 bankruptcy had been iffued againtt one John Hatha way, did wickedly confpire, and agree; to injure that wino by preventing him from obtaining his certifi. tate ; and for that purpote that you, J. L. Barrow, prefented a pcition to the Lurd Chancellor, fupport ed by two falfe affidavits, from Sarah Groves, and another perfon, Citing in them, that within a year ' ~f the time of infolveney of Hathaway, he had unlawfully gamed away a fom of money, amounting to rot. you being aware that, by fuch proof, a certi ficate under the commiffion would not be granted, and well knowing, at the fame time, fuch atfidavits to be falfe. Upon this indictment you have been tried, and all of you found guilty. It happens, in this cafe, the evidence has twice undergone the con federation of a Jury, and twice has die verdict been to the complete fatisfadion of the Bench. The cir cumtlanees of this cafe are of the moil aggravated nature; it is a joining of fire perfons in a confpiracy to ruin a man, by preventing him from obtaining . the allowance of his certificate, after he had been reduc ed to a Rate of bankruptcy by his connection with you. If the fads hated in the affidavits before the Lord Chancellor had been proved at the trial, it cer tainly would have had the effect you defied, name. ly, that of preventing Hathaway from obtaining his certificate. In them it was (worn, that on the sad of April, 1800, being ten months prior to his being declared a bankrupt, Hathaway was ken to play at the game called Put, at which time he 101 l ten gui. neas and upwards, and the perfons procured to (late this, were two Acton:Times in your illegal and wick ed trantadions. Upon hearing the petition, fup ported by proof, as it appeared then urequetlionable, the Chancellor refuted to allow the certificate, and was aftonifhed that, under fuch circumhances, it fhould have been applied for. It is mot! fatisfadorily proved, that the perfons who fwore to the affidavits never law Hathaway ; and that, on the sad of April !Soo, inflead of being at the Black Horfe public houfe, gaming, he was not even in London. Tie whole tranfiation appears to be a malicious endea• your to ruin an individual. No excufe can be made, and nothing in extenuation of the crime can be cf. fered : and it now becomes the painful, but neva fary duty of the Court, to Mita an exemplary pu- Mffithent upon you. lam lorry ti fee you in this unhappy iituation ; but the mots levere punillment muff be inflided at an example to others, and to warn the unwary and honelt tradefman from being reduced by your stiles, and from falling into thole fnares which you have wickedly laid to entrap him. The lentence of the Court, therefore, is, that you all and each of you, he impr Wooed for the (pace of two years, and in the firli month of that time, you do hand in the pillory in Finfbury fiquare, for the (pace of one hour, between nine and twelve o'clock in the forenoon." Sarah Grover, who was itnplicated with the above perfons, was lentenced to be implifontd in the Houle of Correftiun for fa mrnths. Afcer the prifoners were taken from the Bar, Mr. KNAPP moved the Court, that the 2001. which el cheated by the forieitute of Davie* recognizance lad &Mons, lhould not 'reheat. on the ground that Davis could rot take his trial. in confequence of the ab•ence of a witne!.. IThe Court refuted the motion. The Court was uncommonly crowded, as the trial of Dr. Pike, of Enfield, was expelled fur an atfgult on two vung Lobes placed at his wife's fehool. It was to hive conic on in N.ivernbcr, but was put off in confcgoence of an affidavit from him rf the abknce of a material witnes ; it was to base come on et Titerds), but put off again for the tone cattle; it was tix,J by the Court for yetterday—when he was called, he and nut appear, and forfeited iiis recognizance', gilddifippo;ntednumbers._ _ _ Mr. GVR N y then moved, that f,eth recogni tenets. to a greater amount, be entered into, and that new • proceedings be inititu:ed.

Prior to th..ir {riving op houfe keeping in St. Anne's lane, they had ter a room to a man named Berry, a private in the G ard , ,, which room, with its futniture, they left in hi , care ;--and it was flipulated that, for the ufe of Destford's goods, r.. Berry was to pay eighteen pence a week, hefides paying hit rent to the tenant, who fucceeded in the occupation of the haute.
