The following is the state of the respettive armies in Poland, according, to the latest and mist authentic acrieest—" The left wing of the French main army is stationed on the Nigit, and its positinn reaches over Elhingen, Rraittisberg, along the left !tinre of the Passarge, up to Gutstadt. The centre is placed somewhat in the rear, round Preitssi•ch Hol land, Leibstadt, and Mohruogen. From (;utstadt, the army stretches itself in strength above Allen. stela, and the right wing maintains, a'inve burg, a communication with the let. %v.:lg of the army of Marshal Pelli:C•4 A, whose sir .t is on the Bug, and from thence to the mouth of the Narew. Ehe left wing of the French has, in its whole front along the Passarge, a number of intrenchments and batteries, by way of coveting. Before the centre and the right wing, are ra.t forests and morasses, se that an attack on this side cannot he made with out great difficulties. 'En provide against acci dents. there is be:ind, between the Passarge and the Vistula, an intermecli,e- pn.itinn on ire Dre wentz, behind which !nag az ies have been esteblished. —wOf the Allied Army, thy tight w:ng is formed by the Prussians ; this wing is stationed by the Heff, and is stretched long the right shore of the Passarge to Wormdit. The advanced guards are at this point separated by nothing but the river, which, at a small distance from the mouth is nar row. and in many places in shallow as to be waded over by deserters. Ihe territory occuoird ' by the Prussians has hitherto been rattler spared. —An excellent spirit is prevalent in this corps, which is composed of troops who were not pre sent at the engagement in Saxony, and of the relics of the great army. It will one day be known what this corps has eftefted during the last six months, what it has suffered, and with what firmness it has contended with its destiny. The position er, the Rus sian Army begins at Worrndit, and is stretched over Heelsherg, Bartenstein, and Schippenbil. In the last i‘lace are the magazines, from which principally the Prussians receive their forage. This country has suffered exceedingly. The Russian army has an advanced guard before its right wing, its centre, at,i its left wing. Harem AM PLarow commands the last wing, and has pushed his parties even to Or telsburg, where, latterly, frequent skirmishes have taLen place, while, in every other part, there has pre vailed a sort of at mistier. Since the arrival of the Emperor At.axa riblia in Prussia, it appears that a considerable corps of Russians has been stationed not far from the Narew ; this has pi obably occasioned the movements of M A 4sem h. Besides the leading armies of the hostile powers, there is to be noticed, on the rut of the French, the corps besieging Dant. tic, under Marshal Ler. eavet. It coasists of French, Poler, and Rat en troops. Further, the corps before Calberg, of French, Italians, and the German contingent troops. In Silesia, under Prince J Lao its, are the Bavarians and the WirtembcrAhers. Hese the fortresses of Neisse, Cosel, Glare, and Silber berg, are still to be conquered. Betwixt the Elbe and the Eastern Ocean, an army of observation is colleffing togetheh under Marsnal BRUNE ; it is to consist of Dutchmen, Spaniards, and Frenchmen.— Another army of observation stands on the bound aries of Italy and Germany, and is connecied with another corps in Dalmatia." A numerous ?skybox of the Whig Club dined, on Tuesday, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate. street; HACYCY CHIIIITIAH COMIIR in the Chair. After dinner the usual toasts were drank ; among others, the health of Sir insects BWID(Tr, and the Eleaors of Westminster. having been banded up to the chair by Mr. CLITTCID, was proposed, when Me. W. SMITH begged leave to submit a few remarks on the subject He had no obj.,ftion to drink the health of Sir frearsurs BUM:HITT, as a friend or an individual. but by no means wished that it should be coupled with the Eiedors of Westminster, as that circumstance would imply the concurrence of the Westminster Eledors with the sentiments avowed in the Baronet's late address. He had voted himself for Sir Faancts BUIWITT, but condemned, in the must positive terms, the condo& of Sir Faa wets since his Elec tion, and would certainly have withheld his vote, had he expeded that the F.leaors would have been insulted by such an Address. After some observa tions from Mr. Customs, in which he took strt opportunity of complimenting Mr. SMITH on his political conduA ; the Cue is mats said, be thought it his dusty, from the situation he held, to pr 'pose the toast that had been handed up to him ; but Gentlemen were at liberty to drink it, or not, as they pleased. The toast was accordingly drank by about 40 or fifty, with some buzzes. Several new Members were balloted, and the evening spent with the usual harmony. Llll9 INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCLRY—Jest z. ATTOINZT-OLCIR•L, ag4 , 4li NEWCOMIIL, •nd (Viva. In this case, which exciQvery groat public in.. Wrest, as well as uncommon anxiety in the patties. the Attorney. General. on the information of thu Rev. Richard Linden. and several of the parishion ers of the parish of Stint LOOM, Cl-rkeswell. was Plaintiff, and the Churchwardens, Richard New combe, John Bullard. the Rev. Henry Foster, extil„ other inhabitants of she said parish. were Defend ants. The matter in issue has been strenuously It,. gated for Near three years, in this and the Soits ual Court, the nbjeti beisig to try the validity of an eleCtion in that parish. had in the year 1804, between the two clergymen abotrenantad, for the Vicarage of Clerker.well. Mt. Foster was returned by the ChTirchwardens Is the successful Candidate. and theinfosmation and bill in this case were filed, to try the validity of that Eleaicm, and praying an injunftion against the Bishtip of London, to restrain him trona grant ins; a beers, to Mr. Foster for offiziating as the Vicar, pursnant to such EleEtion. he modes of investigating the merits of this Eleaion were very unusual. as suggested by the bill ; thee were either to go before the Masser tc exam•ne the validity of all the votes, or to try by a y each vote sepa rately ; a proceeding. which must be attended with infinite expense, delay. and inconvenience to the _ _ It appenn.d, that at the dissolution of monas teries. tne i:rioseity ot dispute rame into the hands of tee Crown ; arid on the sad of June, 1E56. 4 died ot pia:chase was obtained by the parishineers, and inhabitants of she parish, in trust, to five several trustees named therein, and to their heirs fo ever, whu were at all times to tiled a Vicar upoa every vacancy, with a turn of 41. 1 is. 6J. yearly, as a stipend for the Curate. It happen d that in the year 1770. in the case of the Rev Mr: Sellon, a similar case to the present had been agitated between the parishioner; ot the same parish, and a decree pronounced by the Curt of Exchequer in favour of the Plaintiff which dirsctly ap plied to the present case, as contended tor by the Plaiatiffs' Counsrl. The Churchwardens were charged with partiality and con uptiim in the Election, and much turned on the true meaning of the words "inhabitants" and' parithionett," wads the Cd4iscsLusit observed, would, to an ingenious mind, admit firty dif:etent construttions ; bat the is or payinginot heretofore much disputed arrinn g Lawyers, became here curiously interesting. Mr. Kmcielios, for therlaintiffs, contending, that paying did mean having paid. The Cd•NcILLOA oil served, that that might be a Welch constrtihion of the term; while Mr.KICH A IIDS contended, that. like the case in certain Floroughs, paying scut and lon, to entitle a voter, he must have been sir previous months a reside; t, and have aCtually paid ; it did here mean, Navin{ paid the Church and Po ar's rates, so that it did admit that coastruaion in English, as well a s el.: I, ad in Latin likewise. Sir SA :toe a c for the Difiturlants, on th e r.4tr • for i'ily argued, that the term " pay ing" only signiied here a liability to pay, or to be ing a J and burn iurously refuted Mr. Rich aids's CJ.lEftlalatl of the term, by stating, that if the term " paying' could mean" having paid." the Chancellor must prepare his mind, if he could. to consider him (Sir Samuel), then in the midst of his argument, as not at all speaking, but as having already spoken ; a circumstance, he thought, whit: it wool I require much ingenuity in any Counsel to persuade his Lordship ot. Sir Samuel Hominy, followed by four other Counsel, two of whom sub stituted his argument for t. t. .11't the time of the Court, congr.culated the pariststomis ui Clerkenwell upon toe near approach, he hoped, of the final termination of a loft, vindiaive, and litigious contest, carried on under the semblance or colour of religion, like other cases of the kind, upon rheir lips, without the slightest tincture of it in their hearts ; he added, th..t no prootsf partiality or corruption whatsoever appearegaiost the Churchwardens, in the eledion or return; and that even .t there had, the Court had no jurisdotion over that question, as it could not aa as a Comm:tree of the House of Commons ; that this was not a case ot a chalky or donation, but a private purchase, as to the stipend; and that the elettion was concluded not only wail the utmost fairness, but with unusual caution; that the Decree ot the Court of Exchequer was unintelligible, and should not be deemed a precedent; that the Defendants should have their cos:s ; and that, it any ground had ex isted for the Plaintiffs to come us this Court, under the Deed of Purchase, or the trusts thereto, such ground had been completely wave) by themselves, previous to the elation, by certain resolutions regu• lating the eledinn. passed at a Vestry, composed of above 1000 passim, and which both candidates unanimously sent round to every parishioner, with out a single individual finding fault wish, or ob jeaing to any one of them.

This was a reserved ease, upon an appeal against the Order of the Court of Sessions of Wales, as sessing certain Poor's.r.ites, to be paid by the De fendants, as inhabiiants of the Parish of Holyhead, in the Island of Anglrsea. Mr. Hooters , a, in support of the Order of Ses sions, proceeded to state, that the D:lendants, in this case, were the Captains or Commanders of the packets which carry the mail between Dublin and Holyhead, and were assessed to pay certain Nor's rates upon personal property producible within the said parish. The main question was, whether these ships were of that description of local and visi ble proprty within the parish. as came watin the awaning of the Statute of the 43J of Eba.beth He, therefore, meant to contend the point, upon the principles of therm of the King e. Whirr. Lord Et; eisaciaaoaso observed, tbat there had been much extraneous cod collateral matter intro. duced into this ease ; such as these Captains alerting with Fad weather of Sea, the wind at soc.. a point, and their being chliwt . • • t them going out of their track ro Park.: to take up some great persn:.age ~ r ar. • • ' , • going to take Mr. Lees, S-. er.oy to / fice ; and many other circ um •• erten, wit :, • • rant to the question before he Court. i snip wished the argument to be confined sale•y toi the question before them ; and, as the .a.e of the King v White was I•!ie.i upon in support of the Order of Sessions, hr wished to hear the ~ber side, as to that point. Mr. PANIC,, on the ether side, contended, that frown a recent case of the K.ng e. Collisson, al though the Court did not come to any final decision, they seemed to throw nut saute observsu ions, which went to sltake the eas. or the King o. White in a consid-iruble degree. In the present case, the Defendants entirely considered the Post Office as their master, they beihg bound to sail at their express desire for a stipulated salary ; and as t h e principte was admitted. that all Wary 'or personal labour is not rateable, so in this case the party were not rateable. The way in which any profit arose from these packet boats was from a mere casual adventure, in carrying passenge,. from Dablio to Holyhead and hack, which the Governna, it -itiht restrain at any time, by suspending or dismissing such Commander frown their service. With respeek to the Register Ad, it did not aired this case, as none bet trading vessels carrot rinc-r the meaning 4 that Ad, a'l King's ships, and vessels employed its, the King's service, being ex mr. . Mr. Assn r, on the same side, contended, 'iron general principles, that ships were not rateable. as they certainly were not permanently visible a i bite the parish, and as it was alai,- by voyage Jo the ocean that they became pi-tido:live, for as long as they remained io port they mist be unprodartire ; and being much utterer absent from pert than is port, they were not that description of property which be considered Ir•eal and visible pen. party, rateable irscrrtain proportions. Ir also be=rg clear t` , a• all vessels lselongiaa to the Crown are glut rateable, and these ships in go-stir-a being free trop all harbour duties, all port duties, Itatt house, fee. for which exemption the P ost 05ce allows a certain stipulated salary; and, therefore, under all these circumstances, first, that ships are not property rateable; secondly, from the particular set vice in which t.,ey are employed for the public benefit ; he 'abashed they were rut kcal and visible pro; erty, such as was subject to Poor's-rates. Lord Et.I.ENNUSOU , III. in giviog judgment, ob• - served, that he could not see any ruminator betimes* this case and the case of the Ki g, v. White. 'Me question being whether the Defendants are inhabit. ants of the parish in question ? and whether these vessels ate local and visible rateable pr.-petty, within the rneanin of the Att ? Tl.e p it toi reguaratien Wei tato ely out ct the case. It is evident it was local and visible property, within the parish, fit a great part cf the year. The party tiers makes his CUM. trail with his passengers at si .I,mead ; he is paid at Holyhead by the pa;seliaeirs coming from Dobien; it is therefore a personal property, producible within the parish, and therefore rate role noiltr the statute of Elisabeth. The rest of the Court concurring in opinion with his Lordship; then:stator ter! Og, aside the rata. as discharged, and the order of . 4 e-/ides isthras4: — • Tag KIM°, V. SARAN UAL. This was a conditional rule, on othaif of the Defendant, to (push a convidion for keePing Lattle4io, or pr sate Lo:tery, contrary to t ,e Aft. Mr. MAARYIT r, in support of the rule, objected to the convidion, upon these grounds ; k rosy tire conviction did not set r.ut the names of the Informer, and of the person apprehendin3 the offender, ac cording to the AO, so that the party could not know to whom the penalty was to be paid. in order to her enlargement; secondly, the eonviflion did not set out that the MAgistrate before wenn it took p=ace, was the Magistrate belonging to that para. cular Pollee-01:e ;'thirdly, ei4t the statute re quired that the p :nun against whom the intormatian was granted, should be immediately taken into cus tody ; when, in the present case, he wa. not appre hended until three weeks after; and. lastly, that it did not appear that any LutleaGa or private Lottery was discovered. The COMMON SCIUSANT, in support of the . eonviaion, stated that Le had only received his brief, as he left home for Court, this morning, and was not prepared to argue the points as he coup wish, he therefore requested the indulgence of tt e Court for a future day. wh.ch was accordingly granted. ems ciao s. She eossetsstonaas of seems for lot cotery of son This came on upon special argument before the Court, upon a return to a Meadoonsg, directing the said Commissioners to appoint a new rate for the support and repairs of certain parts of the sea wan, in that county. Instead of obeying the .tiredamrs, the Commissioners made a return to Inc writ, that they could mit comply. In c.nseqiience of some necessary documents 'acing wanted to lay before the Couit, the special argument was postponed to a fu ture day. At one o'clock Lord Ennciraoanvon sat at Nisi Prow, when the folios/mg, among other Causes. was disposed of : WILLIAM WILLIAMS e.

The Plaintiff was a carpenter. formerly residi at Rathbone-place, and the Defendant a wad--r. keeping a public house in Oafesrii-road. .1 he B!I of hxchange was nut given in evidence; but the other part of the charge was proved.
