-^ 55S country stood upon high ground, an honourable peace would be a pro minentrobject of its consideration, and that this victory, in conjunc tion with the occurrences in the North of Europe, would lead to a general pacification.—A Committee was then appointed to prepare an Address, and they having prepared the same, n was read, agreed to, and ordered to be presented by the whole Court. The Sheritn, at tendel by the Remembrancer, were directed to wait upon his Royal Highness to know when he would receive the same.—The Vote of Thanks to Marquis Wellington, his Officers, &re. will be moved at the next Court. HoAx.—Tradespeople to the amount of several hundreds, assembled at the Pavilion, Hans-place, Chelsea, on Monday last, with various articles of furniture, in consequence of hoaxing two-penny post letters, which directed the hour of attendance to be twelve o'clock. A Concert, under the patronage of Lady CHARLOTTE DENTS, for the benefit of the Chelsea Charity Schools, had been announced to take place at one o'clock, and the neighbourhood exhibited a scene of the greatest confusion, betwixt the chariot and the coal-cart, and other medleys which completely choaked the place : and, it is feared, proved detrimental to the chari table purpose. UNION- H ALT..—A man of decent appearance applied to the Sitting Magistrate, under sysmptoms of great distress of mind, for redress of various injuries inflicted upon him, by a person who, he said, had long held him in subjection by the power of witchcraft. The person complained of had, for some time, been his opposite neighbour ; arid although it had been his (the complainant's) constant study not to offend him, being well aware of the influence he possessed with the powers of darkness, vet he had, in some way or other, been so unfor tunate as to incur his displeasure, and severely he hadsutfered for it both in person and property, as the wizard had, at diffetent times, destroyed his clothes, tainted his provisions, prevented the smoke ascending the chimnies, soured the liquor in his cellar, and on various occasions, when the complainant has been under the necessity of going out on business, had so fascinated his powers of vision, that on his return home, all his efforts to discover his own door had proved inef fectual. These circumstances had obliged him to remove from the Kent Road to Westminster ; but even by that, he had not escaped the power of his enemy, who still retained his influence, and exerted it in a manner yet more painful to him, by inflicting upon him gouty and rheumatic pains, and torturing him in various ways. Under all these circumstances, he entreated the Magistrates to cite the magician before his tribunal, and to inflict such pains and penalties upon him a sshould prevent his disturbing society for the future. The .Magis trate promised to comply with his request, and advised him is the mean time to go home, and rest satisfied that no effort in his power should be wantirg to prevent the evil spirit troubling him in future. With this assurance, the complainant declared himself perfectly saris erl, and said, he telt, that in consequence of his having thrown him self on the protection of the Bench, the pains, with which be had for so long a time been afflicted, were very much abated ! SHADWlLL.—Wednesday, B. Clifford was brought up, charged with the murder of P. Doyle. It appeared by the evidence of. Wood, a constable at Poplar, that in going his rounds on Wednesday, the 46th ult. at a Quarter past it) at night, he fell in with the Prisoner and the deceased, who were fighting. He separated them, and they went away. He afterwards, the same night, met them again, and found that they had renewed the contest. He separated them a second time, and Clifford ran away. On approaching the spot %%here they had been engaged, he discovered Doyle leaning against a ()ailing, and al most exhausted from the loss of blood, soon after which he expired. —Mr. Bell, a surgeon, depose :. that the deceased had one wound in his face near the eye, and another in his side, between two of his ribs, and a little below the vertebra: of the left breast.—The latter having penetrated the recesses of the heart, he kid no doubt was the occasion of his death.—The Prisoner was fully committed. A female child enclosed in a basket, was on Saturday se'nnight laid at the door of a tradesman in Bedford -street, Covent-garden. The basket being opened, a letter was discovered addressed to one of the family, whom it accused of bring the father of the babe, and of ne glecting to furnish the mother with the means of supporting it ; which circumstance was attributed that mode of disposing of ft.
