CoRPORAT:ON WITH THE LNIPIRC OP FR 4NCE. " Ce Welt pet to sieele wrote Gustavus 111. concerning the age in sviiich h: lived ; of the present period, it may, on the contrary be said, that, ' it is not the age of repohlirs The French revolu tion, anxious to republicanise every state, concluded with the destruction of the most ancient and most respectable commonwealths. The republic of Genoa hal its origin in the ele venth century, during the turbulent times of the Crusades ; a still more turbulent period led to its dissolution. The Genoese of the nineteenth cen tury were no longer the people who were masters of the Black Sea and its ports ; the coasts of the Crimea, Corsica, the greatest part of Sardinia, the Islands of Cyprus, Mitylene, and Chio, Montferat, Monaco, and the Coasts of Provence, who main tained with the Venetians a war of 130 years for the trident of Neptune, and, by means of the rich monopoly of the commerce of the Black Sea, with which an important branch of the trade of the East Indies was united at Cala. made Constantinople, and a considerable part of Europe, dependent upon them. Still it was an important state, with an area of ninety geographical square miles, with a popula tion of upwards of 400,000 inhabitants, with fine harbours, and with invalliable naval and commer cial resources. These circumstances had long ren dered Genoa a desirable iihjea for France. which in the fifteenth and sixteenth cen.uries r peatedlv re "Sneed this commonwealth Tile French Kings Charles IV. Charles VII. Louis XII. and Francis I. brought Genoa under their subjeilion ; but the in dependent spirit of its inhabitants shook off the French yoke, and often put a bloody period to thiiir dom nion. In June 1305 these once sn zcalons re publicans surrendered their independence as a vo luntary sacrifice, and transmitted a request co the Emperor Napoleon, that he would unite their coun try to France. What in some measure accounts for this political phenomenon, this total subversion of the principles and national chariaer of the Genoese, is the state of extrern:deeey into which the republic had fallen since the revolution of June 1796, and the destruc tion of the aristrocratic constitution established in the year 1520. by the great naval here Andrew Do• via, who was the first Doge. The name of the last was Duraexo. At the head of a deputation of the Genoese nate and people, this magistrate, on die 4th 'if Juste, exaClly nine years after the bubv-rsinis of I i:2,uria, presented the wish subscribed by 80,000 indiviittAls, that Genoa might be made an integral part of the French empire ; the conditions of this union w-:e the preservation of free ports, the incorporation of the debt of the Ligurian state with that of France, the limitation of the einseriptioa to mariners, and the prote&inn of commerce. Napoleon complied with the with of the Ge• nocse, and replied, that he would u.iite them with France, and would shortly rep iir among them to give the necessary sanctum to this incorpora:ion. From the moment of this declara tion Genoa was erased from the rank of European rates, and ceased to be a republic. She survived her ancieat rival, the republic of Venice, eight calk.

He robbed the butler, as above mentioned, of thirty. five pounds, after which he met a pig-jobber, and robbed him of money and a watch, ju,t after which an acquaintance of the pig-j iliber's came up, and they agreed to pursue him, which they did, and in the sporting phrase. .4 turn'il him," several times ; at length he reached a wood and took into it ; but found his pursuers gaMing so fast upon him, that he had no chance of escaping with his ho se ; he, therefore, dismounted, abandoned him, ant fled into the thickest part of the wood—the pig j ibber se cured th, horse, they gave the alarm of his being co-cealed there, to a gentleman of the name of Brand, who immediately called out his company of Sh,:rp-shortters, which he commands, and soiround ed the wood (it not being of very great extent) all night ; the next morning a party of about twelve went into the wood, found and secured him ; he is genteel looking young man, of about twenty-five years of age, and it appears from his book of orders, which was found in his saddle bags, to tether With halt a dozen watches, and the property he had taken, that hr rides for some house in Condon.

The Plaintiff is a linen-draper in the 11 iroegh, and having a demand Against the Defendant for some fixtures he had sold to him, he surd nut a writ in the Marshaleea Court, and had him Amsted there nil. while standing in his shop, on a S iturday evening. was taken into custody by two constables on a charge of having committed an aroaalt upon the Defendant, briniteht before the Lord Mayor, aid committed to the Poultry Comp ter, where he remained till the billowing 'Monday, when he was enlarged upon bail. The. Defendant never f illowed up any prosecution for an assault. and the Plaintiff awn dingly withdrew his recog- . nisance. It appeared in evidence that the Plaintiff had been brought before the I. rd Mayor upon a charge of having assaulted the Defendant, by holding use his stick over him in a threatening attain* ; and. neon et investigation, his Lordship thought pove nr. accord ing to his judgment, to commit the P 1 thing*, Lord ELaarisolonctf thought this did not come within the meaning of a malicious charge ; the Lind Mayor had committed him nn his own ju 13ment, and there must hive heel suSinent gr esals for the committal. It did not follow, because the pro secution was given up, that the charge was ground less.—The Plaintiff was accordingly Nerasecred., ersl3oll V ca. This was en action of assault and battery. Mr. Ge aitow, for the Plaintiff, stated, that his client is a barber and hair-dresser, residaig in Can. non-street, in the city, And the Defendant a sheriff's of Leer and constable. He was given to understan also, that the Defendant is a nian of fAshioa an 4 property, and live: in style; keeps a fine house, a hunter, and, like other men of fa hinn and tam. also keeps two or three ladies in diff:rent parts of the town. The PlAintifF was in the lvsnt of dress ing this gallant's hair for unite tenet f w which a considerable sum of money he:ame due to him, and, not being paid, he was obliged to sue out A writ against him. This was ”ivt:l to a brother bailiff To execute ; but as one dog will not eat another, so OW gentleman did not give his friend, wisom he found a t dinner when he waited on him, arty very great trouble ; he waited till he had finished his repast, And the communicAsed the cause of his visit in a genteel way; upon which toe Defendant jumped up, called his boy Kitt to fnllosv him, aril let: the room, swearing d—n him, he would have souse fun with the barber, And lick him well. He imme diately proceeded t: cite Plaintiff's shop, who was then in the aft of cutting a gentleman'. hair up stairs; he sent far him, .al, watt, he cane down, stru:k him several violent blows with 'as stick.— Meitner person came in on the instant, and asked the Plaintiff why he did not send for a cnn,t.hly ? Upon which the Defendant pualed out h; s s taff, a nd swore he would take him to the Cornnter. The Plaintiff declared he would have sat:slant's-in in A legal way, and desired his boy to go to his aoorney, to entesire what lie should do ; when the Defe.idant said he would g s for him himself, if he chose it. When remonstrate) with for making a disturbance, and frightening tne women, he replted. D tie women. I have got two or three wives of own ;" and then swore, he wools! n o t leave the shop till he had more fun, and ttat he would beat both Plaintiff and Lawyer. Those facts being proved, the SOLICITOR Gene a•L, for the Defendant, did not call any eviiente. lie ohserved merely, that this case put him in mind of Srrjeant Kite, whit advertised fur n servants who had nal masters, gentlemen who had too little mo ney, and husbands who had too mucn wite." No setious mischief had accrued to the Phintitf. and .e was sure the Ix y would not consider it a case for large damages. Lord ELL em Boatman thought, that, without re. capitulating the evidence. the Jury would h- satis fied there was very gross brut tlity on the part in' the Defendant. The Plaintiff s 'opt to recov !ft a j .st debt in the legal was, and the Defentimr w•nt out for the purpoie of insulting him; hr ahnsed him. and several blows followed. while the Plainoff con. duSed himself is his the greatesttenmer and prudence. He now called on tne Jury for reparation, and his Lordship was sure that resort would not be in vain. The Jury, after a short consultation, found a venni of 5.101. damages for the Plainiiff. WARD v. DIJIIISOWES. This was an action to recover the sum of 531. for goods which the Plaintiff ha.l s to Mts. zabeth Howe, upon the false representations (as was charged) of the Defendant. The Plaintiff was an eminent laceman in the city, and the Defendant a considerable grazier. It ap peared in evidence, that the Defendant, on the 8:h June. 1802, came to the shop if the Plaintiff, Ac companied by Mrs. Howe, when he introduced as his sister, who was going to set up in business, would be a good customer. begged he would use her well, ant might be sure ef his money; upon this, the Plaintiff gave her goods, at various times, to the above amount. It appeared faith -r, that Mrs. Howe had carried on business first at Lynn, next At Bru. ton-street, near Bond -street, And lastly at Norwich, and that she carried on a protperous trade from the 6th July, 1802, for eleven inrinths after, set icn might be sufficient to induce the Def-ndant to make such representation. Two shopkeepers of the Plaintiff were examined as to the exact words spoken by the Defendant, at the time of the introduction of Mrs. Howe to the Plaintiff. The one swore, that he said, the Plaintiff " mignt he sure nt his money;" the other swore, the win is w " you shall (or) you shout l be paid your debt." Lord ELLINSOROUCIN left it to the Jury to say which were the words, and they lindi ' - words were " you shall be paid," pin portal tual engagement on the part which ti.e law required to bc an tiff therefore was Neersittel.
