446 A Divine of no less eccentricity than erudition, and a great admirer of Fleming's Commentaries ou the Revelations, says, *hat the Downfall of Buonaparte is nigh at band, grounding his 'assertion on pattietilar texts in the 13th chapter of the book a Revelation :—The Beast rising out of the Sea (Corsica) with seven heads and ten horns, and upon his ten horns ten crowns—is Bunnaparte.• This Beast was to have reigned fitly and two months.—As Emperor of France, Buonaparte has nearly reign ed this exact number of months.—The Dragon (I. e. the Devin gave him this power and great authority ; and be caused all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand—i.e. Buonaparte has caused all persons to submit to his tyranny.—The Beast's number was six hundred three score, and si.r, which exactly corresponds with the numeri eril calculation ofall the letters in Iltionaparte's name, reckoning the letters according to the number affixed to each before the introduction of figures, thus Ls.=2o, E--=5, A=l, N-•=4o, (the letters of his Christian name) 71=4, U..-4 10, 0-=5O, N=-.10, A =--1, P=6o, A.l, R=-- SO, T=loo, E•=3, being the letters in his Surname, amounting al together to 665, the identical number hf the Beast—i. e. Bun naparte. This Divine adds, that without the smallest .doutit, as the truth of Revelation can never be questioned, so it follows that the Spanish Patriots are destined to put an end to the reign of this Beast—(Buonaparte.) LAW It U.PORT. COURT OF KING'S BENCII TUESDAY JULY 5. CRIMINAL. INFORMATION. . Mr. Topping applied for leave to the a criminal information Against George Forrester, Esq. a gentleman not unknown in our Courts. The motion was mode upon the ailidavits ol.the Rev. Wardel, who had been joint tenant with the Defendant of a manor in NVorcestershire. This instrument stated, that some time since Mr. Wardel, the Rector of a parish in that countv, proposed to sell his share of the manor to Ms. Forrester, who agreed to pay him fur it the sum of 16,000/. Subsequent to this contract, disputes arose between the parties, respecting the pay ment, when Mt. Wardel was compelled to file a bill in time E chequer, and in March last he obtained a decree in his favour. urderiug the discharge of the debt by Mr. Forrester. After this proceeding, Mr. Forrester appeared in Church, while the Pro aecutor was performing Divine Service, and insulted him, by making grimaces at him, in the view of the whole congregation. .31r. Wardel then ,vent to Loudon, mid, during his absence, Mr. Forrester, having the whole manor under his controul, attended by one of the church•wordeus, of the name of Bayles, who was entirely devoted to his interests, and about thirty persons. pith ribbons in their bats, on the 19th of March, issued from his own house, proceeded to the Church, broke open the doors, and, by means of new ropes, (Mr. Wardel hav ing directed _the old ones to be retnoyed) and the ringers of a neighhooring parish, sounded a merry peal, in triumph of jappose.l victory gained over the Rev. Clcromao. It ‘va. here, amid this dis!tusting scene of profamition and riot in the Church, that Mr. Forrester pulled a paper from his pocket, and read the following passage to the disorderly assembly t-- " Scrub (meaning the Prosecutor) was buried on Monday, at Worcester," alluding to the period when Mr. Wardel had signed the deeds of conveyance of the manor to the Defendant. A day or two after Mr. Forrester hail thus wantonly expressed his satisfaction, he procured a painter, named Dickey, to in scribe en the walls of the parish.church, various passages front Scripture, the tendency of which wascither to expose Mr. War del to derision, or to hold himself up to admiration. One of these was taken from the gospel of St. Luke : " My house is a house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves." Another was taken from the Psalms: " Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies; thy right han4 shall find out those that bate thee ;" besides many more of the same di: cription. Soon afterwards Mr. Wardel returned, and w heo he was sitting at the desk, in the church, on WhiUutida.y, Mr. Forrester came dose up to him, and read in a loud voice one of the passages uhich he had procured to be painted ow, the walls; thus per sonally insulting the Reverend Clergyman in the e xercise of his functions, and interrupting the rrforannnce of the sacred duties of the day. The motion of the Learned Counsel was not con fined to Mr: Forrester alone, hut extended to Mr. Bayles, the Churchwarden, who had been appointed by him, and two per- sons who were principally active during the riot in the chola!, on the 19th of March, including also Hickey, the pei'soa who THE NATIONAL REGISTER. had been caqiloyed to deface the church wall, Th e (- mot re _ fused the Rule; recommending at the same time, that the par ties should apply to the Ecclesiastical Court.
