That was not the cause of my :o calling . him a coward. The question repeated by Mr. Brrecaltara.—lt is a plain thing; wherever 1 meet him, 1 said, call him a coward.

She told me that he would not allow his name to be used as I had used it, and I wrote to him en the subject, and 1 thought lie behaved like a poltroon, and I then said I would call him a coward whenever I met him. My reason for interferiom was, that I had been per haps her husband's oldest friend. Ily one of the Jurors—The COCO!. was lodzed in Govern ment securities ; it is now in the plaintiff's possession. The letter from the mother to the daughter was then real, and also the answer to it from Mr. Delamare.

The dieter demanded a strict inv. stigation, awl in this Nlr. Marliardt appealed to the deceased tlrssian Nlinister, Von thornier, with whom lie never had any connection. This awl other things have induced the Diet to resolve on the proposal of Ansttia, to prohibit Mr. Nliteharolt from re siding in Pranfort.

His intention was to go to the Bavarian dominions. Though he is a subject of the Elrctor of Hesse. and well known as 4 distinguished partisan of this late French Westphalian Goveroment, and though he has had a great share in the very violent writings of the pitr• chasers of IVestplialian domains, he ventured to appear publicly at Hanan, where he was, however, immediately arrested. In the following night his papers were seized. 'the reason assigned by the Hessian Government is the suspicion under which be lies of a secret connection with one Ketch, who is also an object of suspicion to the 'hessian Government. This Belch has lived a long time in Anvil ca, and some time ag 'wily at Nisittz, expressed himself very freely on political siti.j..rts, in the presence of two Members of the Central Commit: re. ou which account he received a very serious reprimand. lIAARLINGEN, JAN. 15.—The number of ships that ar rived here last year was 389, sailed 379; of the first, 232 were Dutch and 107 English ; of the latter, 232 Dutch and 103 English ; of other nations not exceeding 9, except Ha noverian 15, and Danish TusWearnza.—A remarkable fratnre in the present rinnsuslity mild winter is, that in this not there extremity of England little or no snow has yet fallen on the low grounds, and no great quantity is to be seen on the fells, while in some of the interior counties, particularly North amptonshire, it covers the earth in many places to the depth of two feet. The serene and agreeable weather men tioned in our last prevailed until Wednesday, when a moderate fall of rain took but without any increase of wind or cold, the air remaining gently warm, and pecu liarly favourable to early vegetation. During the last two days the atmosphere has been clouded, and we have hail several heavy showers of rain ; but the temperature of the air has undergone li t tl e alterat ion, the weather, upon the whole, continuing mild and open for the season.—(Carlisle Journal) DtlE. mea• DUB. 0 0...

The Legacy T,tx ►s of itself odious enough (and we hope to live to see its abo• lition) without raking up the defalcations of former years. Is it for the sake of employing clerks, who would otherwise be useless? Let them have other situations less odious to the feelings of the people. Let some sinecure, filled by some minion of the State already revelling in wealth, be abolished ; or let them, by supernumeraries in any other department, rather than be employed in raking up ■ccounts relative to testators who have been in their graves for a long series of . years; or to eases where exe cutors are also dead, and their representatives ignorant of the mode in which they have discharged their trust ; or where perhaps vouchers are lost, so that the claims of Government, if ever so unjust, cannot be contravened.

When the satelites of Ministers and the public Journalists in their pay, have favored os with their quarterly accounts of duties on ca -1 ports and imports, of the excess of this quarter above the excess of that, and have drawn their flattering and fillacious pictures of the happiness that must pervade the numbers of the community, in percei - ving how fast we were emerging from the poverty &difficulties into which a wide wasting war and the profligate expenditure of the Government had plunged us, our langnage always was, to these boasters of the country's wealth —" Shan us its legi " timate effects, in a relief of the people from your over " whcbaing taxation.

Before Lord REX LET, lir Chancellor of that Duchy, and Air. Justice BAYLav, and Air. Justice Houtoyu, as Assessors. This was an appeal made by Mr. Clement, the proprietor of the Otterver, Sunday Newspaper, against a line of 500/. Imposed on him for publishing in that paper the proceed ings against Thistlewood, lugs, ami the rest of the Cato Street Conspirators, while the Trials were yet pending, contrary to an express ordef, made by the Lord Chief Justice. • Mr. linounita It, Mr. DENM.tN, and Mr. PLATT, were retained for the Appellant, and Mr. ATTORNEW-GICNERAI., and Mr. Ha.tl.o for the Crown. Mr. DENMAN, on behalf of the appellant, memnrialize4 the Court for a postponement of the trial on an affidavit, stating that Mr. Clement haul intended retaining Mr. Sear lett, but that that gentleman hal not till within the last two days felt himself at liberty to accept a brief, expecting, as he held the situation of Attorney-lipietal for that Duchy, to he engaged on the other side. The consequence was, that the short time be had h-141 the brief, was insudi cient for his making himself fully acquainted with its me- tits. AirroaNtrY-GENFRAy„ on the part of the Crown, de clared his anitistv that the question should nitderDi the fullest investigation, and his consequent willingness to consent to the motion. After a short consultation, the Court agreed to the post ponement of the proceedings till the 13th of Cebruary. Letters of the 15th from Madrid mention, that the Com missioners for the liquidation of British claims were about to take their departure for London ; but they sly nothing of an ambassador coming over. It woull seen that in Cordova and other places, cries of •• Long live Charles sth," meaning Ferdinand's Brother, had been openly beard. There is, it is said, a strong party forming to compel King Ferdinand to abdicate, and it is snpposeml the Monks and Friars are at the heal of it.

The Comet of 1677 nearly agrees as to its perihelion distance, and the inclination of its orbit, hut not as to its other elements. At this time (January 26) the Comet is distant from us about forty-five millions of miles, and is now somewhat nearer than it has yet been, hat on account of its greater distance from the sun, its light has become much weakened. Its distance from the earth will now increase, and its distance from the sun continuing to increase, both circumstances will soon render the Comet difficult to be seen.
