J oseo b J e eps was capitally indkled for feloni ously rging, making, counterfeiting, uttering, and -publishing as true, a promissory note,, purporting to 'be a note upon Stowniaiket Bank (Suffolk), drawn 'by George Brown .and Co. upon Mcssta Barclay :.and Co. Bankers in London, with intent to defraud -the said George Brown. • Mr. Burton, an engraver, in Little Newpprt street, said, that the ptisoner came to his house, on the 3d of January, and sheaved him a letter, which referred to an order for engraving a plate. He pretended he was the brother of Mr. George Brown, one of the paitners of the Suffolk and Essex Bank, and that he had received an order to procure ano ther engraving for promissory notes, as the firm 'had altered their banking-house in town. The wit ness then received one of the original notes to make the plate by, and was to finish tt in the course of the week. A day or two after, the prisoner came again, and said lie would not alter the name of the Banker, as the firm had altered their minds. The next time he called,. the plate Was finished. The witness made out a bill for the same, in the name of Brown, and received 21.55. Mr. John Hammond, a priliter in St. Martin's lane, said, that the prisor.er came to his house, on the 10th of January. He looked like a person who had just come from the country. He had two dogs with him, and was booted and spurred. lie pro duced a copper-olate, and said, that he wanted one hundred impressions taken from it gs quick as pos sible ;—they must be done by the next morning, as he wanted to. take them to the Stamp-office. The witness sent the plate to a workman of the name of 2rosset. On the next morning, the prisoner came, and looked at the notes that had been printed. He said, the impressions were not worth a d —n; they had not the appearance of bank paper, and that the people in the . country would not look at them- He then ordered the witness to print him • another hundr e d upon finer paper, which he did the same afternoon. The prisoner saw them, and liked them very well. The two hundred were then tied up with the plate, and taken away. Thomas Prosser, a copper-plate printer, in Tut T - court, Strand, stated, that he printed the notes, and sent them, by his son, to the ho use of Mr. Ham niond, his employer. They were done on two sorts of paper ; one hundred upon bank poi t, and the other hundred upon a stouter sort. The witness ex anained the plate produced in Court, and was sure it was the same he had worked from. William Pest, a servant to Mr. Porter, a linen draper, in Combourn-street, said, that the prisoner came to the shop on the 14th of January, and bought goods to the amount of 11. 10s. for which he .gave a note upon the Suffolk and Essex Bank for 51. payable at Messrs. Barclay and Co's. The witness carried it to his master, and returned with the change. The prisoner was dressed in a shooting-jacket, and had two dogs with him. Mr. Porter corroborated the last evidence, and Mated, that he seit the note to his banker's, with others. He coall not tell to whom he paid it.. Charles Rowe, Ci•-•rk to Messrs. Dorien's and Co. bankers. He remein'oered seeing the note brought by the last witness; he made an entry'of it in the drawer's name. ' Thomas Dickenson, clerk to Messrs. Dorien and Co. said, he received the note on the house of Bar slay, and paid it to John Lowe, clerk to Messrs. Barclay. John Lowe said he received the note from the last witness. He ezainined one produced in Court, and was positive it was the same. John Miller, a Bow-street officer, said, that he went to the p t isoner'slodk.ings, at No. `26, Mercer itreet, Long-acre; he opened the room dlor, and saw the prisoner, and immediately took him into . custody. He searched his waistcoat pocket, rind found the key of a portmanteau, from which he took one hundred and fifty Promiss;;ry Notes upon the Srowmarket Bank; also a copper-plate. Seven of the notes were filled up with the naire of nrown and Co. the rt:nr.tinder as they were printed. The i.ri soner was then conveyed to the (mice, and examined by the Magistrate. The plate and notes were examined by the en graver and the printer, w ho were positive they were ihe nine that had formerly been in their posses sion. Mr. James Brown, the brother of George Brown, the partner in the Stowmarket Bank, stated, that he knew his brother's hand-writing, and was positive 'the signature on the notes found in the prisoner's possession was a forgery. Mr. Justice Le BLAsc addressed the Jury, and direaed them to give their decision according to the evidence. The Jury, afer some deliberation, pronounced the prisoner Goilly—Diaih. HIGHWAY ROBBERY. 74n Dew was capitally indiaed for assaulting Ge.c,:ge Melwnrd on the highway, and robbing him of a pure cent:: Cain 51.165. on the 6th of January ; last.—The prosechtor said he was going to Uxbridge in a post-chaise ; and upon Ealing Common, about a quarter before ten in the morning, two men on horseback came up, and ordered the post-boy to stop. They had crapes on their faces. The boy did 'not directly stop, and one of them fired. The other came to the carriage, and demanded his mo ney. Each of the robbers had a brace of pistols, one in each The prosecutor threw his purse out of the cha r s;, and they rode away with it to wards Ip-idon. TVo ,ladies' were with the prosecu tor in the chaise. 'He did not observe the dress of the robbers parti,i•nlarly, neither bad he time t 7 no tice their horses. The post-boy confirmed this evi dence ; but as the prisoner's person could not be identified, be was acquated.• tie was again chirged with assaulting Charles Poole, Esq. on the hi!fhway, with a pistol, with intent to. rob him, Qti the ‘2oth of January. Mr:Poole . said,Viat on the•tiOth of J.anuary, he was in hill own 6.Truge, on the k;clgeware-road, vital wire i ' a nurse, and a young child, near the four-mile stone.

They were both within the range of his pistol: • They joined toge ther, and removed the crape endlsandlrerchiefs from their faces: They then rocie:up the hill towards Stanmore, ;ficd the witness kept them in view, when two grooms, well mounted, came up. He told them he had been attacked by the men riding up the hill, who were highwaymen, and desired the grooms to go in pursuit, which they did. Mr. Poole's postil lion confirmed his master's testimony. Thomas Bat chelor, one of the grooins, was on the road when he saw two men ride from the carriage ; they rode very fast, and in compliance with Mt. Poole's request, he and his compaction pursued them for a mile and a half, when they turned up a lane leading to Hen don, and about twcntr yards rip the lane, he saw a crape hanging on the hedge ; he did not see who threw the crape there ; he never lost sight of them, and followed them to Gray's-inn-lane. One of them turned up Guildford-street, and the other went np Gray's-inn-lane. The witness pursued the man who went up Guildford-street, and call ed out to the people to step him, as he was a highwayman. The horse stumbled upon the ice, and the man came off. He said to the witness, that he had taken nothing from him. Mr., Justice CH A BRE interrupted the proceedings, by observing, the prisoner could not he conviaed, as the assault had been stated in the inditclment to have been mace with a pistol, whereas a stick only bad been sworn to. — Not Guilty.

Mr. C AL LLNnxtt was formerly a warm partizan of Mr. J el- F F asoN's, but being disappointed in his expedation of being made Printer to the Government, he turned suddenly against the person who was before so much the objed of his praise. l'he Filler CO NSii L'S cook died lately of a com plaint in the stomach. It was the Cowsues custom not to taste any dish not prepared by this man, who had followed him to Italy and Egypt. His death had been concealed some days from Boner* are ; and when it was resolved on to inform him of the melancholy event, he sunk into a deep reverie, from which he recovered with an exclamation, " that lie had not been the viEtim of a complaint of the stomach ; that that was not possible, and his death was not a natural one ; he has been poisoned a the fad must be ascertained.—His body was taken up and opened. The surgeons declared that the cook hid died of the complaint now epi demic in Paris. The Consul appeared less uneasy. The main allegation of Mr. Hot.? WHITE'S peti tion, respeCting the Midhurst election, involves a principle of much importance to the Constitution. This Gentleman states, that all or most of the votes polled for Mr. Tying° a were fraudulent and occa sional, and• were given for hurgage-tenements, of whose descriptions , and situations the voters, in re sped thereof, were wholly ignorant ; that they were conveyed to them for eleCtion-purposes merely ; that they took no berieficial interest, &c. &c. in ma nifest violation of the freedom of eleCtions, and to the debauching of Parliament, and thereby to the de ruction of the Government and Constitution of these realms."

"'Placed at the head of this Government, during a period of unrivalled danger and disorder, when opinions and principles were openly disseminated and inculcated in the West Indies, the tendency of which was to excite all the malignant passions of the human heart ; not only against those whose duty it wa to contronl them, but against all who governed, and to break down all the barriers which had been raised to ensure public order ; arid to protect the general safety ; having also to con tend with the lovely rooted rejudices, which VAri9US forms of government, and dillerent laws, naturally gave to those persons twin other cansntrias, who have become a considerable portion of the population of these Colonies; the strongest proofs which can be given of the success of vont Excedency's un wearit.l and ard uons labours must be adduced from the general sansfiction of the inha , UtAnhy ns to the administration of jus tice (notwithstanding these obstacles), from the time they were taken po.ssess:on of by the British forces, till now that they are about to be re,itored to the Batavian Republic. " Much of this prosi.eriry may be attributed to the spirit of corunierctal adventure of the Merchants of Great Britain ; but its terirecedented increase is the F t run gest demonstration of their well-p:acmi confidentx in a wise, just, and equitable ad ministration.

They are, nevertheless, tnose of the warmest gratitude to the Planters, Me. c nts, and other Inhabitants, whu have 'honoured me with tee Address, Mingled with emotions powerfully, though natu rally, arising in my mind from a reflection on the one hand, teein the period idlest danger and disorder, so justly described, and cm the other, upon tue state of conrinied prosperity, not withstanding, that has attended a Colony, to which 1 stood in so close a relation, and which shell ever be dear to me. " In beholding at the same time so generous, flattering, and honourable a testimony as that now offered in regard to my pub lic conduct and pets/anal sentiments during my administration of these Colonies, I cannot but feel myself highly gratifexl; and this pleasure, 1 mint add, ia the stronger felt, as I am led by the reflection to a grateful stimentbrance of.that support and eteiti dence which I have experienced on the part of the good inha bitants, and others interested in the Colony. " le by a strict adherence to probity, honour, and disinter etteduen, and by an earnest d. sire of promoting the interests of these Colonies in general, and of administeriug impartial jus tice in particular, 1 have in any small degree been iestrumened in the advantages derived by these Colonies, yet their inireased prosperity must on the whole, next to the blessings of liivute Providence, be ascribed to their 'connection with Great Bri tain during her temporary possession, of these settlements; at the same time undoubtedly, that the co-operation ate assistance, which in the discharge of the duties belonging to my station I have met with front the memhers of the Ceurts, and others IA office, together with the ready coucurrence of the commandant of the troops in his department, have largely contributed to teat portionof success which may have attended my feeble exertions. " 1 now beg leave to return my thanks to you, Gentlemen, for the attention shewn me in taking upon you to be the bearers of the Address with which I am presented.

" To the unremitting vigilance, to the excellent discipline, to the noble example of public spirit, and disinterestedness shewn by you, during a command of upwards of — six years over us we may, under-the Divine Providence, attribute that constant security and tranquillity which these iuvaluable Co lonies have enjoyed, increasing in cultivation, and advancing in commerce, unknown so them hitherto, even in their most peaceable period, while havock, destruct on, and desolation have laid waste so many neighbouring colonies. " k'or tire loss of a public charatier r , so honoured among us all, we derive a consolation from the refiedion, that you will probably soon return to a Country, whose Government knows bow to appreciate; end whose Sovereign to reward faithful, honourable, and disinterested services ;* but when we reflea on She leas obtrusive virtues of the heart, on the mildness and be nignancy of the private character, on the kind hospitality ex perienced by so many among us,. and on the guueral polite ness and benevolence extenaeil to us all;—,:very individual feels the deep sense of regret that arises from the contempla tion of the approaching loss of a most highly revered and va lued personal friend. That your return to your native country may be marked by these honours and rewards your services so justly merit— that you may live long an example of public spirit and of private virtue, and that every other felicity of this life May be added in the pleasing consciousness which roust attend your own redactions, is the moat earnest prayer el those who have the honour to subscribe themselves with the luefiest senti ment, of respect arid considegition." To the Planters, Merchants, and other Inhnl.itant , of the Co lank of Essequebe and Demerara, 41:. " GENTLEMEN, " To describe the sensations which have been esired in my breast, by the unbounded expressions of kindness con tamed in the Address which you have condescended to honour nit: with, requires far more powerful language than my pen is capable of producing; I can, therefore,. only most earnestly in- Elea you to believe, that as the highest sense of gratitude ne ver was more urgently demanded, so it was never by any heart more sincerely felt than on the present occasion it is by mine. " The approval you are pleased to manifest of my general conduct, during the period that I have had the honour of holding the command in these Colonies, is to me most grate fully pleasing, as it is highly flattering; for although I cannot dare presume to the great merit you so kindly attach to it, I am notwithstanding empowered thereby to assure myself that the great and ultimate object of my must anxious wishes and endeavours have been completely attained. " A reflection so truly gratifying cannot fail to secure me through the rest of my life, moments of the greatest happi ness; a circumstance, which (as it arises out of your favour) crowns the infinite obligations I owe to your invariable acts of atteution and friendly concerts.

This misfor tune was chiefly occasioned as follows: a large block, to which a three-decker was tied, being rotten, gut loose through the violence of the storm, and car ried six other ships along with it, f i ll at length all got under water with being forcibly carried tow..rds the hospital, and nearly destroyed. 'Some English and Neapolitan vessels heaved their anchors in time to get to sea; a part of these, hoviever, were cast on the coast of Istria, and whose destiny is not yet known.
