We have received Baltimore Papers to the 10th last, containing the Report of the Self 2 COMillit. tie of the House of Representatives, of the Legis lature of lE.ntarky, appointed on the 27th 14.1vem ber last, toingoire Iwo the Charge against BEICI A. MIN Seamstress, one of the Jeers of the Court of Appeals. The charge against SISASTI AN %VAC, having entered into an intrigue with the Spanish Government. in the year 1797, for the pot nose of severing the Western Country from the 'Zama, and placing it ender the prote&i,n of Spain, and re ceiving, from that time, to the present, a pension of 1000 dollars a year from the Spanish Government, in consideration of his services in that business. Seassrtan, as stated in a former paper. antici pating the result, resigned his judicial situation. The Committee made their Report on the 2d of December, cossaiaiag a great mass if evidence. u support of the charge. This intrigue appears to have suggested the designs I,ddy attributed to Col Ruse. tespetaink the Western Century. The Bill for the Abolition of the Slave Trade, we fear, is likely toexperience considerable opposition in America. The motion for the sec‘nd reading of the NU to prevent Negro Slaves from entering the State of South Carolina, was negatived in the Senate of the Legislator* of that Sumo. on the 17th of Dr cember, upon a division. The numbers were 1$ against 16, but the President, who had the casting voice, was among the nays.

This rause came oa• to be heard noon bid and answer, and the lAN were nearly as inflow the year 1791. shortly after the Plainaff was ad vanced to the Bishopsielc, a proposal was made to him for the purchaser of one-ninth share of a lead mine. called Werdale Mine, in the county of Cumberland, to which the Plaintiff, as Bishop of Durham, Was itaidleJ. This proposal was made by the Steward of the Defendant s from whose re ptesentations the Bishop was induced to enter into an agreement with the Defendant for the purchase of the said slime, at the annual rent of 0251. 'llse present bill complained, that the Plaintiff had been led to enter into this agreeme at eretircly through the 1 misrepresentations of the Defendant's Steward, with respeifi to the value of the prodna of this mine s and that the proptirtion which should have come to his shale amounted to between 60 and 70,0001. and therefor. prayed, that the said agreement should be set aside, and :hat an account of the issues and profits should be taken, Ste. . The Sotactroe-Gensats te and Mr. M•RTIN, support of the Bill, contended. that fr0%,.(-1: ° .

The Arvoastav-G • s for the Defendant. contended, that, in as touch as the Plaintiff 'tad full time and opportunity of mining into the matter, before he entered into the agreement, it could not stow be cod, that any fraud had been praßis J upon him ; hut, on the contrary, it was in evidence, that Bishop Tnuriow, of whom the present Plainteff ,was the immediate successor, rented this miae, at ab•tut 8301. per annurn. and his predec asnr. at only 3001. per annum, so that the utmost value was computed, at the tone of the agreement. He therefore contended, that, upon these grounds, the Bill should be dismissed ; nr, at tne least. an issue should be &retied, to try what were tise afturl issues and profits. After hearing s me of the evidence read, the further hearing of the cause was peastisoned. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. actaarna v. gtwit.EY.
