The Lords of the Privy Council held a Cant of Appeal, on Tuesday, at the Council Offivr, hail, which was attended by the Lord President, Sir ./nim Anstrether, Air. Bathurst, and Mr. Tre. roe. An appeal from the Court of Madras, of con side..able importence, time on to be heard, I - - which Rungay Pillay, a native aed inhabitant of that place, was the Appellant, and the East ledia Com pany Reif's - rodents. The substance of the case, as stated by the So• I.ICITOR-Uent.e AI. and another Barrister, WAS, that in the year I 800, M-. Jacleetn, an agent of the Com pany, employed the Anpellant to coiled dues, Dec. from some N.tbobs, due to the Company ; and Mr. Jaeksrm having pre.cured se.veral favours to be granted to a Nahr4, the latter gave two stns, at different times, to the Appellant, as presents to Mr. Jackson, amounting to 18.000 pagodas. which the Appellant paid to Mr Jackson. who, in a Ann time after, sailed for Ki-gland The circumstaitce coming to the knewledee of the Board of Revenue and President t f the Cou. cis, they summoned the Appellant to appear be'ore them, and to pay the paeedas which he hnl received from the Nahob, tem their hands, t t use of the East India Corn palsy. The Appeilant, at r is lime, was er y e m e ly aid could not attend the summons. He sent a written answer, stating, that he was not a registered Dulls' Con eany's service ; at - he vests merely employed by Mr. JAcksen, to whom alone he waq accoun ahle, to whom Le had given all the presen s which 1 .• 'tad received from the Abod for him. i'he Presi Itt and Board of R venue were not satisfied with this. and sent s .me of the Coeipanis Physicians to ascertain the state cf his health. T. .y reported, that ;he journey font residence to the Board might endanger his life ; et this did not avail, and he was forced to appeir ; when he persi,b t in his statement, ''hat he ha:: re ceived noee of the presents for himself. The Board Ind Comic., 1u cons- qu. ice, ordered him to swear to Le truth of ch . -. w ich he hesitated to do, bring censcious of his ionLernce, and an oath in the i.ir'di re.igion :sr.( g administered wi:h vrest num her of 4.:llllMQllite, Otis man in that c.ion tr; , who is i err beliteed without as oath, having.a stigma attached to him enough life ; as it is con sidered !kat be has u. as--gone a kind of purgation. fbr Appeller.t teas, its runs/gee:ice, cast into prison; when. fter some tim- he paid time pagodas ; and. because he still persisted ! st Mr. Jackson . a I the pagodas, he was cbfih .1 to undergo the shigrad• tog retirees superstitions c rentinies of en iatL, a nt swear disgrece tu I ims...t Aftei this was com plied with. he was still des tins d, se ec eis ege eeee of a let.er from Mr. Lushinveo, who succeeded Mr. .1 4 ,kson, stattug, if the Apr-dart was IlherAttd i , persons would not 're so wilting to corns forward to makecomplaa rs eeeinst biro as if he was us CWIIS.ae• mem: CM Appella... matt --..ehts Appeal egains• the Board ,r ft-veins, I' was employed y per. sue to make.

The Court, however, remitted the fine of 2300 pagodas, e 'rich had been inflifted by the Board of Revenue, considering it illegal; but re fused to ioterfere in the affair of the presents, con sidering them to spring out of an illegal transaition, and likewise refused costs. The SoLiciria.Gensa.so, on behalf of the Ap. pedant s contended, that admitting the transaflions to be illegal, the !hard of Revenue could not pos sible have any thing to do with them. Sir Joni, Awn auras% asked, if a highwayman could be robbed! The Sox ic tTo e-G en etas I. replied, certainly. One robber could not take the property that another had been stealing, without being guilty of the same of fence. The Learned Gentleman concluded, with praying th it Lordships to order the immerve Arm that had been extorted from the Appellant by the Board of Revenue, with interest, the costs in India, and the cost. of this appeal, to be restored to him. Sir Joon ANSTRVIosit said, that the Lord Pre sident himself, and all the Lords present, considered this an application of v.sey great importance ; for his part, he had bat lately come from India, and he never heard of such condu't as that represented to have been praaised by the Board of Revenue, as they could not possibly possess any more power than ally indifferent person passf•.q in the street; it was therefore their wish to be in possession f 01 the ori ginal proceedings, and every document relating to the business, to peruse them before they came to a decision ; and adjourned hearing the Attorney-G.. ner al for the Es. Company, to a future day. The Public .usiaineda great disappointment, last night, at the New Theatre, opposite the Acl-qphi ; upwards of seven hundred persons applied for admission, but being the evening of Ash- Wednes day, them was no performance.

Thus the Police sends every one to the army, who is brought before it for the most t:ivial breach of the peace; and to the evident injury of the cause of iustice, even capital punishment is sometimes corn .nuted into a certain period of mi.itai y service.

This day. at the rising of the Court, etc Lome Cu ANC ELLOR direCted r;tat Mr. Ludlam, theltinatic, who, he observed had for some time been placed immediately under his proteCtion by the Laws re la.ing to Lunatics, should remain undisturbed in his Loose in Tenterden-street, under the guardian ship of the Committee appointed to superintend his snits. and •he care of Dr. Munro, who had hitherto attended hi.' in his illness. fie cor.sidered the means which had hitherto been resorted to for the purpose of teeming Mr. Ludlam. injudicious, a.,sl prejudicial to his health, in his pre sent disturbed state of mind ; as noti.ing could be more impiorel than to force a deranged person to seek an asylum from that imprisonment he seemed so much to dread, by flying front his putsusits across the roofs of several hi-Imes adjoining his own. Such treatment, howev•r jn.iifiahle on the part of the officers entrusted with the ezecution of a warrant of the C:.ief Magistrate, must certainly he produc tive of the worst consequences, with respire to the individual concerned, and might perhaps finally end either in the cor.irmation of the deplorable ei,order under which he laboured, or some disastroes acci dent, which mi?,tst pot a period to his eristente. Althnut h it was dnt within his jorisdiaina to dielate to the Magistracy, I.e however wished 414 arAti to extend to warrants wanted by the Lard Mayor, or , other Magistrates, and that it &odd be enfderstood. that the Lunatitt was not to be molested or removed from his own house.

Mr. Grestow applied to the Court, for leave to file a Criminal Information for a foul and atrocious libel He mated that be had received his instructions from Marquis Wellesley, wit, having held the ex alted office at Governor G:neral of India, for a con. siderahle time, tetdrned to this con :try, flattering himself with the hope of receiving the that-. ks and approbation of the public. The Noble Marquis, however, had not been long here, before he found some persons, whom it would be but a waste of the time of the C out to enumerate, who made him the c - instant subjea of repeated libels ; but which, re ly:ng upon the integrity of his own character, that wankl bear the sttidest investigation, he treat-d with the contempt they so jestly merited, and essed them over at that time without notice. WI ileiheselihels were repeated in speeches delivered in vie heat and narty spirit of a contested election, he made every allowance ; hi" although forbearaace was a virtue, yet there m gist be a period when for bear:usee could be no longer preserved, and when the chara&er of an individual might be sn treated, as to make it a duty not only to the individual him self, but to the cott.srry at large, to take notice of such preceeding. The libel complained of, was published in a new Daily Morning Newspaper, in the shape of a speech, supposed to haw* been spok-n by a pitsna who appeared to have some knowledge of the affairs at India, and who addressed himself to upwards of 1500 persons, at a late dinner at the Crown and Anchor. It was nut now necessary for him to inquire, whether what was reported had actually passed t. he could no:. suppose that any Gentleman of education, or any man of honour, could have expressed himself in such terms ; but whether he did or not, could make no difference with respell to the libel itself. The Author of the libel not beiiig known, the course taken, therefore, was, to prosecute all those who were within the mach of the Court, and as this was not the first, he would take care it should not be the last prose cution against such infamous aumniators, who found it their interest to increase their profit at the expence of others. In the libel now complained ot, it was stated, that Mr. Paull, at a Meeting of the Freeholders of Middlesex, at the Crown. and Anchor 'l'a vein, ad fressed himself to the com pany, and having prefaced his speech by express. ing his thanks for the honour conferred on him in drinking his health, adverted to the necessity of bringing to justice " that great delinquent, Marquis Wellesley." lle next alluded to the late Eleason for Westminster, end said, no less than five titled Mem bers of the /louse of Commons, paid sums of mo. ney to exclude hi:n (Mr. Paull) from his seat in Par liament. Stating also, that his (skied for bringing forward an impeachment against ularquis Welles -I.iy, was nut from any private pique, but from mo tives of public justice. Ile then was represented to charge the Noble Marquis, as a perica uho had been guilty of the most wanton prolusion of the public money, and of the most wanton and atro cious murder, perpetrated upon one of the most in dependent Princes of India, who was foullfmnt "tiered by the Noble Marqiiii, and whose bloody garments he caused to be sent to his it: happy mo ther, as a proof of the commission of this atrocious crime. bile parties against whom he now moved, were .sautes Carstaits the printer, John Clarke the puhlislier. and Samuel Osborne and Stephen Linsey, the ptoplictors of the Paper belore men tioned• The necessary :Attacks being put in, the Court granted a coaditi• nal rule. LLISL UPON PORTER SRIEWER% Sir Vice-ITT GOSS moved for leave to file a cri- Minal information against the pruners, puhlishers, and proprietors of - fire Neverpapers, tor a gross libel upon the Porter Breser,rs nt this metiopnlis, tending to king that wholesome b,:ver Age i..to disrepute, end to ruin and destroy the 'lade angle ; charging Orem with introducing poisonous ingre dients in porter.

The libel itself was in the following terms : " It may not be altogether gratifying, h .wever .t. may be satisfatiory, to pewter drinkers, to is low th ingredients now ift'sse in malting patter ; the !awing compose tit , principal of them : ()pew ; deadly nightshade; Steiworairs. or 7 Kura-apple; Nosed— stuff ; Cu/ems ; .-Yes a ' ; and Ware* ;" (most of which are known to be d es : y poisons, and the Nor wornica notort ,as for kiiiirg rat/ The paragraph then went on to sta.', that t",e faculty of this metropolii attributed the late nu merous paralytic completes, and sodden deaths, to the ineredients used in brewing ;mew The writer then gave his own opini •••, and conci'4.,ct by recommending the use of ale MI ',ad of this noitims slrink. 14e admiraol troacharge was nor made again' . coma iodividuals, but against the *tole trade, ad althoogh so seseril, was not that less raiscbievous.

From these affide. vies, i• appeared, that the whal e quantil of porter brewed in the metropolis, amounted to 1,188 lap barrel,; and the quantity ' , revved by the persons ort whose healf this appi:catton was made, was 1.159,3;1 barris. Lord EL L. ENIOROUON observed, that it was a very imaortant nbjeCt with the public, to know.- ' truly, what this general beverage was composed of. and the public mind should be relieved from those apprehe. siens, by ethic's it was at present agasted. His Lordship recollolted, when he ass Ate rney. General, some prosecutions against brewers were • tried, a hen there appeared a total absence of all malt and hops ; and it was exceedingly regretted. • that the penaltiet i;,flifted were very small upon ' that occasion. The composition, now complained of, might have been put in, after the process of brewing was completed, for the purpose of clearing it. His Lordship wished to see some affidavits to that died. Mr Vic ae• Crass, and Me. awns", assured the Conic, that they should give their landships tic fullest satisfaation upon that subjeft, and only asked the Rule upon theorunditions. T.,.
