THE ARMY'. gatorday, the Oxford and West York I o f Militia passed through Winchesteii jt ttli and Bristol. to Some time ago we copied from ariother, paper, at i c l e purporting to be the opinion of a Court of En art c i t y held in Great -George-street, Westminster, on charges preferred by LietLieutenant Xesses, of the Ist Tyser Hamlets Militia, itteinet Captain DANIEL otM RA, E A Of the same Regtmerit, and by which opi. / lion the charges preferred by Lieutptant ICEMPitwe..e sa id to have Peen adju dged frivolous, and vexatious. It is but justice, however, to both parties, to a pprize our readers, that VW Zilch opinion as the a bove has been announced in•Reghaeneator B r i ga d e Orders, and that a Court:of tn.:miry is a mere cus tomary tribunal, and not recognized by our written Military Law ; the Members who compose it not having the 'lowar to swear witnesses, or to enforce their attendance. • • General Tarleton's Regiment, the 21st Dragoons, it to proceed from the Cape to India, and is to be ricceeded by the 9th Light Dragoons, General Lord Ros‘lyn's Regiment. Brirrisit CA VALRY.—The luxury of a barrack stable is at length found inconsistent with the rigours of a c ampaign. Of the British cavalry horses in Portugal, 2 very considerable proportion is said to have suffer-, ed severely, by a variety of complaints—arising, as it i s suppose;;, from a too careful system of treatment a t home, by which they are rendered unfit for entoun terin,,, the vicissitudes of a campaign. That eys, ten of training, so perfectly understood in this *cam ;Ty, the greatest pos , ,ibie exertion of speed may be.en traded, admits to doubt ; but it is only by.tninute_itd u nremitting attention to the noble animals, thus con tributing to our amusement, that their health and !length can be preserved. The transition from a., comfortable barrack stable, under the vigilant eye of a commanding officer, to the hardships ot a campaign, must necessarily affect the animal in ..propoitiori to the care with which it has been treated. A. perfect conviction that the treattnentof-one cavalry horses is too delicate to render them capable of sustaining, without injury, the . hqdships of foreign service, is mid to have ptoclit , re . tesolution to alter the con struction of the barrack stables, which in future are to be little more than open sheds—no that the horses, by not being too snitch protected from the changes of the ,atmosp tere, may he rendered less susceptible of disease from the hardships of .actual service. It is asserted, that the Horses V . the Ffineli cavalry, 'tho' diminutivein nize l and in regard to what is termed condition, these scarecrows endure the privations and tardships to which they aro 'reduced with mach less inconvenience than those of our one regiment : their utivity is extraordinary and surprizing; , Sunday morning, the 26th of August, a duel Was Night near Camp Bonlogne, in the Island if loupe, between Mr..RAINFS, a Lietrenant in the . 6th Wnt India Regiment, and Mr. rzaNam., atrEniign in the same corps. The parties were tmly eight pees asunder, and Mr. FEN/ELL wounded .Mr.—RAixEs; the ball entered 'Mr. RAINES'S hip. and went through at the other side, passing very near to the spinal marrow. On the Bth September Mr. RAISES was quite out of danger, and able to walk about. Thursday evening last, while Dr. COLLYER was reaching at the Rev. GEORGE.BURDER'B chapel, in Fetter-lane, some person or persons contrived to open the vestry window (the door being ticked) and to tarry off the Doctor's coat, great coat, and a bag, tontaining other articles. The helpless submission with which the strange and aggravated successive acts of oppression com mitted by the Ruler of France are received , may be considered as one of th e eruptions from the volcano of the Revolution, which ha; spread its devastations . . ()vet the Continent, and totally altered the aspect of European affairs. The powers which foreign invasion compelltd the French G6Vernment to assame, con tinued when invasion was no longer to be dreaded. The horrors of the Revolution rendered the nation fa. taikr with suffering, which is submitted to with the liatitince of despair. The Conscription, that tremendous tinfailing engine ' was deltvered in its full vigour into the bands of o n e peeuliarly qualified to direct its force. Th idea of resistance to domestic oppression had al. most vanished, and if it had been entertained, the best elements of resistance were converted " into in struments for suppressing insurrection at home and carrying devastation abroad." All the old estalplish- rnents-:forms—opinions and habits which might have obstructed the formation and eniplOyment of thit en gine have been 4v:ept away by the Revolution. None of those obstacles stand in the way which palsy the ope rations of old and enervated despotisms, but all the on ' divided force of a powerful nation is directed to one ob ject—the execution of la gram/queue—the subjugation of all other* states. Each as it is subdued becomes an additional instrurdinit for *the destruction of whets. —The engine is in constant operation, and gatheis strength from exertion ; and While its power has io ereased so as to have destroyed all hole of sucteisittl resistance among mast of those against **boil% itss • turned, no compunctious feelings, no considelOtn ' 'of hum an ca l amit # can be expec ted to prevail upon its manager to* arrest its pro . s.

HIDDEN V. PARRY. Mr. Serjeant SHEPHERD moved for a Rule to chew cause why the nonsuit in this case should not be set aside, and a new trial granted.—lt was an action on a policy of insurance on dollars, shipped on board the Rook sloop of war. The sloop was captured after a gallant defence, in which her Captain, Lieutenant Lawrence, was. killed. The action was brought to recover the dollars of the Underwriters, and the bill of lading was produced, to prove that they were in tale possession of Captain Lawrence; but it was not allowed by the Learned Judge to be evidence of the dollars being on board. The plaintiff was of course I nonsuited. It was contended in support of the present motion, that the bill of lading was admissible evidence. The Learned Serjeant said, in a case where the owner of land had produced his steward's book to describe the rents, the book had been received as evidence, though• the steward was dead, because it was not supposed he would have made entries, charging himself with money, unless he had received it. The case was the same with Lieut. Lay. recce; that gallant officer being dead, his bill of lading ought to be admitted in • the same manner as the book of the steward of a manor. Sir JAMES MANSFIELD.—I think there is some dif ference between these cases. Supposing the bill of Jading proved that these goods were put on board, stall they might have been taken out again. There is, however, another case long established in the Court of Exchequer, that the entry of a modsu by a clergy.man in favour of himself, is evidence. I should like Ito have the point considered. It is known in the Court of Exchequer, that a parson entering tythes which had been in favour of his predecessors, is evi dence.—Take a Rule to shew cause. SCOTT V. GILMAN. 1 This was an application to set aside the nonsuin and enter a verdict for the plaintiff. It was an action on a bill of exchange for ten guineas. It appeared that the bill had been given in satisfaction of spirituous liquors delivered, and money lent. Mr. Serjeant BEST contended at the trial that the action could not be sustained. The Act of the 241. h of George the Second had precluded any person from supporting an action for spirituous liquors delivered in small quantities, and the bill being for spirits, it was.an illegal transaction. The objection wasfatal, and the plaintiff was nonsuited. It was now contended that part of the plaintiff's de. mand being for money lent when he received the bill, a legal consideration was given iu part, and therefore it was admissible. Sir JAMES MaNsFter.o—Any illegal consideration attached to the bill must affect the whole instrument, and I do not think you can recover in the astione , -- Rule refused. -iO-7 , llll4DtfOli OF THE STAR. SlR—With reference to a paragraph regarding me in a Sunday Paper called The Examiser, I feel it my duty to state, that I shall afford the author an oppor tunity of justifying his astertions by an immediate appeal to the laws of my country. In the mean time I shall perhaps be warranted in stating, that the paragraph alluded to, is as false in point of fact as it is obviously diabolical and cowardly in spirit ; and although it, is VERY PAINFUL TO WI to be thus forced to play the Egotist, I venture to assert, without the hatard of refutation, that ur.iversally,with veipAtd to me, the words legitimate creditor and zealous frsend, arc synonymous; and that Although a commis dun was an alternative Tendert] necessary and de sit-able by a conibination of untoward circumstances, suiceptible of clay and satisfactory eiplanation, yet my estate is equal to the payment of 455. is the pound, or in other words I cannot well fail to enjoy a nett surplus of seventy eir eighty thousand pounds, after every claim on me has been satisfied.

MANrION Housa.—Yesterday Thom& Morse was brought before the Lord Mayor, and underwent long examination, charged with defrauding Mr. Becket, his employer, and Mr. Goodwin, a cloth-fac tor and agent, in Wond.street, Cheapside.- Mr. Bou.atin, as Counsel for the prosecution, ex plained to his Lordship the extensive felony the pri soner had committed upon his employer, to whom he officiated in the character of rider and clerk, and as such, had it in his power to eater goods on the books as if sold, whereas he had secretly disposed, of the goods by pledging them to different pawnbrokers.— He called Mr. Goodwine to support the charge, who gave his Lordship a hag account of the prisoner's confessing his guilt, and giving the pawnbrAter's du plicates for goods, at different times, to a considerable amount. Upon making the necessary application to - the pawnbrokers he found that some of the tickets were out of date, and that the goods had been sold, &c. Eleven pawnbrokers, who had taken these goods, all attended, but did not produce the articles. Mr: RYNE attended as Counsel for them, and pleaded the impropriety of committing the prisoner for felony, as Mr. Goodwine had extorted the confes sion and the pawnbroker's tickets in promise of favour, from which, he said, they could not convict him of felony. This was denied by Mr. Goodwin, and the LORD MAYOIt said, that froM what he had heard, he thought it his duty to send the prisoner for trial ; but its the prosecutors had not seen the goods the pawn brokers agreed to shew them, the prisoner was re manded for further examination. Gemonau..—Yesterday Joseph Gater, a lad in the employ of Mr. Pontifez, coppersmith, in Shoe-lane, was charged with stealing several copper rivets. The prisoner was observed on Monday evening towards dusk, by two young lads, apprentices to Mr. Pontifez, in different parts of the warehouse in which he had no business, which excited their suspicions. They im mediately communicated them to their master, wha sent for a constable, and on the prisoner's leaving work he was stopped and searched, and the property produced was found concerted about him. He pleaded intoxication as an excuse for his conduct, but on Mr. Pontifex stating that he had suspected him for some time hack of similar offences, he was fully committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STMT.—A Coachman to a Lady in Berkeley-square, of the name of Warren, was yes terday charged by the Parish Officers with assaulting them when on duty in Shepherd's-market, on Monday night. The defendant was present amongst a great many disorderly persons, discharging fire-works, and he became the champion of the pools in resisting die I officers. He was ordered to find bail.
