CENER,IL FRERE. Tis Revolutionary General was the eof those b an ditti. who, in such a barbarcus mann a violated l a tely the taws of nations, and a neutral territory, and carried away by stealth, and in the darkness of night, a British Diplomatic Agent, Sir Geoitat: ill a 301.13, possessing :aid proteeted by a public cha racter, which former barbarians held sacred, and even the present savages respea. Fees& was born in the province of the ciaerfrei L or aine, and his father was a soldier in the regimen: called La Cenronne, where he, at eight years of age, was received as a drummer. During the anarchy which followed the Revolution of 1789, he deserted front . Lille in Flanders, where this regiment was then sr n tend, went to Paris, and augmented the num- . Ler of vagabonds, who, about that time, infested the capital, and, under the appellation of Penrioli, pro scribed, plundered, and murderedovith impunity, all non of religion, rank, and property, as Aristocrats. After the 10th of Aubust 1792, he was made, by the then Commandant at Paris, SA arra Re, a Lieu- ! tenant of the National Guards of the seaion called Q,o , !re Notions, and WU'S so thief during the terrible ri.iss4ci . :% of the ensuing September, that NIA RIT, I , . spccch at the Jacobin Club, piloted in to: :Paean/ dca Jacobins, of the tith of Sep- termer 1792, did justice to his Potriuoism. and recommended him to advancement; and Gene ral SRIIVAN, the Minister of the War Department s immediately sent him a commission, as a Captain in the same regiment, where he so lately had been a (hummer ; but this rei;iment being on the frontiers, fighting the Austrians and Prussians, FnERE never joined it, preferring the safer and more profitable employment of denouncing and pillaging the dis armed Parisians. When, in 1793, Heirmor succeeded SANTERRE, in the command at Paris, he obtained for an Aid-de- Camp from ROBTSPIERRE, FRI-RE, who was at that time as cringing a courtier to this republican tyrant, as he has afterearcti been to his successors, BA aitAF, Kr urn a, and Bo's AP A RI'S. After the execution of Rout:smear, in 1794, Fusee i•hared the fate of kis other sycophants, and was arrested as a terrorist, but escaped death, and recovered his liberty, f, y turning evidence, and becoming a denouncer of the public accuser, Fointo lax-Tos so i.r.e, and other ac complices of himself and of his former patron, Ro- ZESPILIME. It was after Bora A P Alttell butcherir,,,,o, in Wilber 1795, of 8.000 men, women, and eha then, in the streets of Paris, that Fitton first made his acquaintance, and was, by his recommendation, male a Chief of Battalion, in the 77th Ibimi-hrigacie, ~ one of the corps which served irrid..r him in Italy, cniring 1796 and 1797; but which did not amino paey him to Egypt, in 1798. When, in 1799, the Jacobins again possessed the inaility in two Councils at Paris, and dieteed laws of terror to France, Fatal: was appointed by the I Minister of War, DE ROI% Clt EANcr., a Chief of Bri gade in the guard of the Council of FiveThundrrd. !lasing, when BONAPARTE effeaed the Revolution on the 9th of November of the year, deserted over to him with his corps, he was in return appointed the Commander of the Consular Guard, in which ca pacity he remained until the invasion of Hanover areodetermined upon, when he obtained the raids of a General in the army, destined for that expedition. Cetera' MORTIS*, the first Commander i'i , Chief of BONAPARTF.'S army in Hannvo, with all the other Generals under him, were such favourites of the Usurper, who before had either no opportui.i:y to enrich themselves, or who, like FRERE, ha-I, in debauchery and gambling, squandered away their former ill-begotten riches T iese men were all s .rat : to Hanover, as the Parisian said, to male !heir, r tunes—and this partly explains the ruin d sta'e of t the Ele!torate, and the' several p.:cuniars requ - sitions, under which the a, Weal, free, and Impeoa" I . Cities of Hamburgli, Bremen, and Lubeck, have ben laid. 1 ram is a tall, gand-looking man, about forty ' years of a g e, wi t h t h e education of a drummer, '• the sentiments of a sno.l-eitiotte, the principles of a ' Jacolin, the talents of a grenadier, and the pre'en ' ions of a vain and tradacious upstart, obi= revo lution and crime, but not merit, have poshest for ward in the career of rebellion. A -lave to BONA. PARTE, as to ROIE4PIERaIi, he will continue the sants. to all future revolutionary tyrants, who pay . boo, employ him, and prmit him to oppress his : i,,f.tiors, with an i nso l ence , surpasse d on l y b y hi s • hoeness to his superior. According to Th, Secret History of the Hanle of AA ' ON*, p. 45," FRERE is even destituteof that temerity scosrksble in many of his fellow-rebels, who, like himself, having every thing to e: ft from success, and every thing to a pp r eh e nd from defeat. fight • with a despair, which i g nor a n c e or disaffeaion has cfenen to call courage. On that unfortunately Lonaitis day, when the imbecillity of a Met as gave sp Italy to the treachery of BON a, Farat's ern : was upon the sick list; and on all the former ddls, when fortune and number procured the Corsi. tan victories in Italy. he was either ill in the hospi -431i Or, as a convalescent invalid, guarding the bag lige.” His first military atchievement was, there -1" Its the bra,. rradr, and h•orooreite capture of a disarmed and uneliarded Briton, in the neutral llamburgli. with the Aid of the bayonets of fur hundred rakireosts Frenchmen, worthy to be headed by such a vasioviss Conunandta, in performing ouch 4 iiiseiowts exploit. lu V 4 S TOVC • CJI :1111SI 64 L54 the iti ita h, von' ccvsl gr"",l.

Mr. EltlK3Ne moved the Court to file a criminal information against William Henry Bourne, Esq. Idea Budd, of • Pall Mall, bookseller, and George Sidney, of Northumberland -street, printer, for print ing and publishing a most scandalous and malicious libel, against the Earl of St. Vincent: he observed, it wars a wide, extensive, and deeply-laid conspiracy of those three persons, to wound the noble and gal lant Earl it the public estimation, to injure him in his charaacr, as a man of unblemished honour j and integrity, and to bring the navy of Great Britain into disrepute and disgrace. His Lordship, there fore, felt himself under the necessity of throwing himself upon that Court for their pmtetilion, and of seeking do opportunity of clearing his charaaer from the vile aspersion thrown out against it, and punishing malevolence and scandal. The libel complained of was contained in two pamphlets— the first was entitled, Naval Administration; or a Letter addressed to Earl St. Vincent, Knight of the Bath, &c. &c. pointing out various Armies in the naval departmenr, Bce. Sce." The second had a si milar title to the first, with the addition, " also con taining the substance of a suppressed pamphlet on ihe same subjeß, Zee. Ste." A; to the 6 st publication, it appeared, from the affidavit of Mr. Benjamin Tucker, that, in the month of April last, the Earl of St. Vincent was the first Lord of the Admiralty, and Mr. B!itirne called on Mr. Tucker, and informed him that he had Seen 11 manuscript of a pamphlet, which was coming oat, contailinz very suvere animadversion; upon the Board of Admiralty, and which, he thougiii, would be mach better suppressed ; to this Mr. Tucker made no answer. Some days after Mr. Bourne called upon him again with the manuscript itself, and told him it was well worthy his ott mini; it contained a SSA deal of malevolence, and advu that it would he infinitely better to stop defamation in its bud : he also gave him to understand that he was attacked in it, and offered to expunge or sup press any part of it relating to him, Mr. 'Nan. that he -• ild think proper. That Gentleman again it was " moment to after . . to him, and said, that some pans relative to him, Mr. Tuck-r, had been expunvd. He then, on Sun day the 6th of May, sent a letter to Mr. Tucker, offering his endeavours to put him in possession of the oamphlet, it he and the Earl of st. Vincent wished it, observing, at the same time that he sup posed his Lordship c null vindicate his c0nd0,.% and fully answer the ch..rges made against him. lb this letter no answer on, returned, and, a day or two following, he rec. ived another letter from Mr. Bourne, in which he attributed the silence of Mr. Tuck rto prudential motives. He rhea stated, that as he knew his Lordship was accustomed to meet and conquer his enemies, he concluded he could fully answer the charges against him ; he, however, observed, that it was not easy to contend against the malevolent aspersions of the mcml, •rs of Grub street, declaring, that he had got the whole publica tion into hi. possession, and would hand it over to Mr. fucker, in order that he might commit it to the dames. Here Mr. Easitiax observed, that Mr. Bourne was the person to whom their Lordships might trace the original manuscript. He had it in his passes sion, he offered to expunge or suppress any part of it, and at last proposed to give up the whole publica tion. Thelearned Counsel then seleaed some passages from the first pamohlet, which he read. These charge the Noble E irl with gross neglect in his office of First Lord of the Admiralty, calling upon him to repair the devastation in the navy, which had occurred by his mismanagement; accusing him of employing nine months in building gun-boats, which might have been done in one, and afterwards dispos ing of them to merchants at the time their services were most wanted in ttie navy. It then went on to ob serve that the Board of Admiralty was too mach en grossed in plans to annoy the defenders of the connt-y to think of its enemies. In another part of this work, his Lordship is eherged with having endeavoured to compel Sir Andrew Snape Hammond to resign his situation as Comptroller of the Navy Board, in order that he might give that employment to a creature of his own, and, having in vain, solicited, and even insisted on his resignation, he was obliged to have recourse to fouler means. The Navy Office was ransacked to find out some charge of peculation or mi:conduß against the Baronet, and at last an accusation was made out against him, for a sup posel overcharge in some Russian stores of rope and sails. '!'treats were then made use of; but his Lordship said, that notwithstanding all this, he would still accept of his resignation. nos (Mr. EM‘ILINE observed) not ooly charging the Noble Carl with crimes the basest and Most s.andalou;, but also accusing him of the high offence of com pounding a felony. In another passage, it accused the Earl of bt. Vincent of dismissing Mr. Marshall from Plymouth, merely to get his place for his Secretary's brother. In another part of this pamphlet, page 60, the Earl of St. Vincent is finch, r charged with open ing letters of Sir Sidney Smith's anal near Admiral Montague's private correspondence, for the purpose of detracting them in treason. of which, it is said, they had been supetled. The Pamphleteer here observes, that Sir Sidoey's char-A.4er and services were tit., well known to need the trouble of te- - luting such calumny, and inveighed agailist the vicious perseverance of the Admiralty, in open ing the, private letter, of that gallant Officer.— Ale then pastes a severe censwe upon them for Plicingea man in an important and high situation. at the same time that he is suspeded of holding secret correspondence with thb' eriemy of his coun try; andiattributes this eon4trA of his Lordship tr) ,a mean jealousy of Sir Sielneyts superior talents and abilities. . . • t This ewes the Pamphlet! Mr. ElliKlNe observed, which Mr. Bourne bad so officiously piessed Upon Mr. Tucker,•whlich he oficred to suppress, and to deliver up the entire impression, consisting of / 1 00 copies, that it might he destroyed. In the second Pamphlet, entitled Audi 41lemm Pariene, the Author, W his fifth page, observes, that he may be rediiced to the necessity of quoting vntwh of the former Pamphlet which he had already laid before the public, but which soon after Nail been suppressed. The Earl of St. Vincent is then charged with having paid 3001. of the public money for the purpose of suppressing the former puhslication. The history of the attempt to remove Sir Andrew Snape Hammond is also alluded to, as a history al teady well known to di: public. Ili. Lordship's conduit, relative to the appointment of Mr. ‘lOll - Cunningham and Captain Markham in the Admiralty Board, is adverted to ; and •he re sigi:ation of Sir M'illiam Bellingham, whom his Lordship is charged to have complied to retire as superannuated.. though a very young man.

In comet!! - w.m" uperanuateJ, on a pension and, as to Mr. Mark lism, ser►ed, that to his ow•n the most able anJ Iteit office, His Lordship further most positively swore, that he did not use any means whatever to suppress the publication of this pairphkt. From the first applicaron of Mr. Bourne to Mr. Tucker, from the simiLtude of the two publications, and from all the circuatsburces of the case, k was not possible to doubt that the former gentleman was the author of thine pamphlets, or, at least, a person who had the possession, management, ur controul over them. He therefore culled upon the Court Cut protection against malevolence and slander of the basest and most scandalous nature ; the libeller was not content in charging his Lordship with erroueou• judgment, but he also accused him of crimes the worst and most base.

Mr. FRU( me, you have no occasion to go further, wh it you have already stated is pate xulFcient to grant a Rule to sinew caux Upon we take it for granted your aftiJavits go to chew the connection between these three parties." Mr. E'tSKIVC stated, that his affidavits proved, that several copies of the pamphlet were purchased at the shop at Mr. John Budd, in Pall Mall : George Sidney was also sworn to have been the prime:, and, by Aet of Pat liament, he is obliged to put his MUM? to everypeblication. _ _ 'll4'Couit grautecl a Rule to chew CAM.

It was stated, that Mr. Birch having, by chance, suet him in the street, raised a tint and mob about him, put him into a hackney coach, and drove him to Mr. Brch's lodgings, where he had him miscd with the order, and arrested as lie was leaving the house.
