One part of the proposed zurangemcnts at least must be peculiarly pleasing to our national kclings: the Princess Chaal.nte of Wales has expressly stipulated. that she shall never be taken out of thecountry without her full and free consmt. The Prince, who is expacted in this kingdom in a few days, is the third brother to the reigning I htke. He was born on the Kith December, 1790. His brother was lately married at Vienna to the beautiful Princess Krassal Kowiek. His sister is married to the Grand duke Con stantine of Russia. Rumour says, that a proposition has been under consideration of Ministers, at th.! instance of asu illustrious personage, for the appointment of Prince I.eopold of Saxe-Cobourg, after the intended nuptials, to he Viceroy and Commander in Chief of the army of Hanover. LJIV INTELLIGENCE. L'IMEL AGAINST LADY WEDDERDURN WEBSTER AND THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. COURT OF COMMON PLI:AS, Wesrmotareo, FEB. 13. WEBSTER 1. BALDWIN. This was an action in mght by Mr. W' ED DE nnl7ll St WEBSTER and Caaott II V. FRANCES, his wife, to recover damages fir a series aide:ls, imputing to lady Weasai:n a criminal intercourse with the Duke of Wei LINGTON: which libels appeared in The .9f. Jewel's elremakk, a Newiqmper of which the Defendant is proprietor. Mr. iserjeam BEST stated the case. Ile described Mr. Wedilerhurn Webster as a gentleman of large famine, and allied to some of the first families in the centime. His Lady was the daughter of the Earl of Mountnnrris, about it rears of age, of great personal beauty—but that beauty was lost sight of by those who were acquiiinted with her virtues. In the commencement of the year 1513, during the short period of peace with France, Mr. and lady Webster proceeded to Brussels, in the neighlwmrhoieof which city they resided. • 'flie Earl of Mountnor- Tib, the father of the Lady, and many other families of distinction, also Need there. At this time, in consequence of the landing of Belong parte in France, an army was assembled near Brussels ; mid, happily for the repose of the world, that army was commanded by the Onke of Wellington. It was natural that "a Nobleman of his rank should visit families of corresponding qualirice--among which were those of the Earl of Mountnoms and Mr. Wcdderbum Webster, particularly at both the individuals he had mentioned were previously acquainted with the illustrious Linke ; but it would appear in evidence, that he was never in his life alone with lady Webster. The period at which those parties met together at Bonsels was about the time that the•bat tie of Waterloo was fought. At that time, Mr. Wedderbum Web ster was obliged to leave the Continent, in order to attend to some family affairs in this country. On that occasion, Lady Webster lived in a place the mat proper of all others for a person in het situation— she lived with her father, in' the city of Broach. Mr. W. Webster returned, after the battle of Waterloo, just in time to accompany the Earl of tnorris to Paris, whither he was going to provide suitable edu air his unmarried seek; with reference to damages, that at this time Lady F. Webster was seven months advenced in her pregnancy ; and she never had gm opportunity of speaking to the Duke of Wellington prior to her being in that ittmation. That the Defendant was acquainted with her situa tion, could not be doubted--for he noticed the fact in one of his papers. Being, aware of this fact, she should have been the last person to be held up to public ignominy, asguilsy of a criminal and adulterous in teroatuse. Ildfore he rallsrl the serration of the itoy to the first para graph, it would be necessary to bring to their recollection the situation el - Brunch irnmedidtely after the battle of Waterloo. There the wounded of the British army were carried, and all were deligiaed to hear of the attenti o n that was paid to them. It was stated - in the papers of that time, that the Duke of Wellington, after the battle, re puted to Brussels, in order to visit his wounded troops. Sony he was, that there should be, in this cottony, any mind so given to slander, as to impute a criminal motive to an illustrious individual. who acted from the most humane impulse. But so it was. The following para graph appeared in the Defendant's paper .. It was said, at Brutale, that when she Duke of Wellington re turned after the battle of Waterloo (which, ert paysaat, ought to be called the battle of Mont St. Jean), he came to visit the wounded— perhaps the wounded heart was meant. A word to the wise." This was a loose and vague paragraph. It did hat point to any par tieu'ar perm ; but the following doggerel lines, which appeared in a subsequent number of the paper, fully explained who was meant :-.- •• In the letter W there's a charm half divine, War Wellington, Wedderbura. Webster, and Wine." Soon after War, appeared, which still farther developed the slanderous intention. It stated that— .. The cannon of warfare has, in l'aris, enabled scandal to resume 'her usual influence on the public mind ; a report is very prevalent, in the first Parisian circles, that a disiingsaished Commander has sal-m -atted himself captive to the beautifal wife of an Officer of rink, in a enanr.er that rendered a very serious investigation necessary ; but it is helped that this will turn out nothiug but a tale of malevolence." In a day or two after, however, the Defendant treated this talc of malevolence as an absolute fact. He )?uhlished another libel. The Learned Serjeant here read the range:spa, which stated— .. 'Chat the amour did not take pla.a: at Paris, but at Brussels, a day or two after the battle of Waterloo. The husband had laid his da mages at aO,OOoL which the fortunate lover offered to pay ; but the business was too notorious to be comp-ondeed—or the injured party had too much sensibility to wear gild,s/ kerne." Ina succeeding publication, the Defendant had copied into his paper, a sort of contradiction of these slanders—but, to mark his own feelings on the subject, he placed a paragraph beneath it, stating, that the lady implicated in the amour with a distinguished Oflicer, was of Irish cx. traction, evidently pointing at Lady F. Webster, who was the daughter of an Irish Nobleman. Mr. Henry Knott proved, that the names of Meath. Baldwin and Moody were entered at the Suunp.office, as proprietors of .The .'t. James's Chrotri3e. He also produced the papers containing the libels. The Duke of Richmond, who was examined from the Bench, stated, that he was at Brussels at die seine time with Mr. and Lady Webster, During the absence of Mr. Webster from Brussels, she lived with her father, mother, and unmarried sister. He was intimately acquainted with die Duke of Wellington, who came to take the command of the British Army while lie was at Brussels. Ile could not state the exact day when LadyNebsterbecame acquainted with the !hike of Welling ton. He asked the Duke to dinner, and he (the witness ) invited Lady Wader to the same party. lady Webster was much in die habit of the Thither of Richmond. The Duchess and himself were 40 ellialilt th'ir daughters to her. Her general deport wereexcellent. lie first mar the paragraphs in T'be .. hroelok in Pads.

Witness did not marry them ; hot lie had visited and dined with them, alien • Mrs. Harrower presided t the heed of the table, and acted in all re. meets his wife. Captain Harrower left Bombay in 1813, and Mrs. Harrower was left at the laxise of Mr. Cook, at Bombay (a relation of her own), in a state of insanity. He behead Mr. Owen, Chaplain at Cals-otta, iterformed the marriage ceremony between Capt. Harrower and ;Hiss 'Usher. Ile arrived in Englar.ii in 1814, and soon after gave information to Mr. if:Haien. the father of Capt. H.'s present wife, of the previous niarriage to :Miss Usber. The itcv.

Ile also asked witness to assist him is gettingout of the kiotaloin, which lie did. On the pier of Calais, lie asked Capt. Harrower to say whether his wife at Bombay was alive arc not : and he then confessed that she was alive. Witness then advised hint never to think of coming to England again; but he ware hark twice, and witness sat • hint at an inn in the Borough. Witness proved three hitters to be in rapt, Harrower's hand-writing. They were written to Mr. Cook on the prisoner's having India in 1813, and related to the disposal of Mrs. Harrower. Cross-ezanurul.—He admitted that Capt. Ilarmwer had withdrawn himself from the acquaintance of witness. He did not mention the conversation he had had on the pier of Calais, because on his examina tion at Ihm-street, he was not asked about it. He had dined with I;iblett long before Capt. Harrower married his daughter; but he was not a creditor under Gild...tea commission. Capt. Harrower paid wit ness s expenses in the journey to Calais. FL Wallis, clerk to the prosecutor's attorney. proved the copy of the register of the prisoner's marriage to Miss ( - Alden, on the 14th of Otto bet, 1814. at St. Geomes, Hanover.square. Miss E. Giblett was present at the marriage of her sister to prisoner. Adkins, the Dow-street officer. proved, that he was employed by Gib let% to apprehend the prisoner, as far back as 1812, which he did as soon as he could find him. which was not till lately. Capt. harrower, when calloil on for his defence, said, that he was the victim of a foul conspiracy set on foot by his wife's father, who had robbed his daughter of 10,0ra which he had settled upon her: that he had lent (Alden 17.0001. which he never got security for; and he concluded by denying that he had ever fled from Justice. Baron Richards summoned up the evidence at great length, and the Jury having retired for about half an hour, returned with a verdict of Gritty, but drongly recommended the prisoner to Mercy. The learned Judge assured them that the recommendation should be attended to. The Court was excessively crowded, and the greatest anxiety pre vailed fir the fate of Captain liarrower.—Mrs. Harrower (the dace .711- ter of Giblcu) remained in Court during the trial, but was conveyed from thence previous to the delivery of the verdict. The prosecutor Gibledt, and the witness Lionel Thompe.n, upon leaving the Court, were followed by the populace, who indulged in in dignant shouts, and severely handled the latter person. BOW-STREET. 011TIMOT1 AT Dams-LADLE THEATAII,..-On Saturday night, at the opening scene of the farce called Modern Antiours, or The Merry Mourners, un which Miss Kelly appeared in the character of Nan, a country girl, and Mr. Knight. as Joey. a country lad ; while these two performers were, according to their parts, embracing, a pistol was dis chanted from about the centre of the rt. Great consternation was ex. cited on the stage and among the audience ; and it was not ascertained whether any pasta was shot, or what mischief was don& It was not known then whether the deadly attack was intended to be against Miss Kelly or Mr. Knight ; but a subsequent investigation proved that it was aimed at Miss Kelly. Raker and Dickons, the eonetabke belonging to the theatre, were upon the alert, and soon had the assassin in enstody: he at first denied that he was the man who discharged the pistol, but 1 the officers, being supported by a cloud of witnesses, continued their hold of the man originally pointed out, and handcuff/1i him. Mr. Rae, the . then came forward on the stage, and inform ed the audience that t man elm had fir,al the pistol was in custody, and he would inform than of the result of the investigation at the close of the performance; which intimation gave general satisfaction. The prisoner was conveyed to the above office. and underwent a long examination before Mr. Rhine, et which Mr. Rae and Mr. Dibdin, the managers of the theatre, attended. The prisoner appeared to be about 21 years of age. lle was decently and plainly dreseed, like a tradesman, hat with no appearance of gen tility. He gave the name of George Barnett; said he was a law sta tioner by business, and lived at No. 22, Princes-stnOt. Nathan Harris, a jeweller, of Lle larury.lar.e, said, be was in the pit of Druryelane theatre, sat near the prisoner during the time Miss Kelly and Mr. Knight were on the stag e together, at the commencement of the entertainment ; he observed the prisoner in the act of presenting a pistol towards the stage, and it appeared to he aimed at the perthrmers ; immediately after the prisoner tired off the pistol, the witness lost no time in collaring him, and he assisted in securing him. The prisoner denied that lie was the man. He was conveyed into the ave nue of the pit, and , a ease of gunpowder was found upon him. Mr. John Taylor, a gentleman from Scotland. but at present lodging at Oshories hotel in the Adelpbi, stated, that he was in the pit of Drury-lane theatre, at the .time the outrage was coinniitted, and sat sn the same seat as the prisoner, was within one person of him, and saw hint present and fire off a pistol towards the stage, at the time Miss Kelly and Mr. Knight were on it; the pistol appeared to be directed to m ands the performers. Ho assisted in searching the prisoner, and took out of his right-hand coat pocket a pistol, which, he had no doubt, had recently been fired off He followed up his statement by observing, that the pistol was neither loaded with shot nor bail. Mr. Hirnie, the magistrate, requested that he wield not give a hasty opinion upon so scrim,' and impor, taut a question. He then confessed that all the knowledge he had upon the subject was from the report of the pistol; but his opinion was completely contradicted by severul gentlemen in the office, who stated that they distinctly heard shots rattle against tin, or suinethieg of a hard substance. ( h ue gentleman was positive that shot had passed his head; which statement was strongly corroborated by Mr. Ranee,a gentleman belong ing to the box-office of the theatre, who produced a number of shots, a pen-ease tilled with gunpowder, and a second pistol, which were found upon the prisoner. The prisoner was then called upon to give an account of him self. He said his mother and tither-in-I'm live in Brown's buildings,Stasubope•street,t;lartinarket. . FRB. la. He was ask( d if be had and personal knowledge of NW Kelly. He at first denied that hu had any knowledge of hot • but afterwards said he had, and tout shc could explain it. f On !nine questioned as to his molive foe the during untraqe, he declined IW% a 61.2 it, but said he would say more at aft:m a time. He hesitated in anNerurievy, all the ylestiOllS Put to him, and gave eery contradictory arcomils. Ile was then conveyed to TuLhilfields Ilridewell by the constables who upprtheadeil him. It was with some difficulty that Mks Kelly finished actin.; her character in the farce. On her being informed of the young man's name, she recollected that it was the same 11401 c whi••lt she had received. signed to several Invt -letters, some of which contained threats, it she did not accept of lain otter, acc. She, not knowing the person, treated the whole as a matter of indifference; she had, however, mentioned the circumstance to Mr. Lamb, one of the gentlemen of the committee s'ar ma , paging the affairs of the theatre; also to her dre , ser, and venal other per Sons about the theatre. The fright had such as effect neon her that she has been much indisposed since, and was confined 'est( Ma% . At the conclusion (' the farce, severpl voices called for Mr. Rae when that geutleman appeared, and said— "Ladies and Gentlemen, the young man who fired the pistol has beau taker to the public office, Raw-street, and interrogated by Mr. Mot. Noe, the magistrate; and, from the wild anti incoherent man ner in which lie conducted himself; there is very little doubt of his insanity." The scenes that were on at the time the pistol was tired were then put up again and examined, when it was ascertained that several shot. hail perforated through the left back scene, ace, UM! also ha struck the back of the orchestra ; hint It fiat be ing a nm ...; e , t i farce, foitiniately none of the performers were in their places, or probably they would have toren struck. r. n.—On the 16th insL at Compton-Verney, Warwickshire, aßer a shun illness, the Ht. lion.
