AO L. ar.rcl Co !I after referring 'bristly to the beers: and effete of thit Bastardising Clause, which could more regitlasly be discussed in the Corn Padre observed, that with respeet to the non ac cess Of Mr. Monte to hi" wife, since the periodett her el rperaent, he was 'necessarily not prepared with dixell and reeitire evidence to prove the same ihrOUghrollt the whole of the interval; far e althonele -darts% Mr. hioereis residence at his seat, in flert fordshire, which vrjas almost the whole time, it ma) without dificelty be proved; yet, during the int^r sal, he was 'eyelid temt •up to town, where he la, at different, hotels, inns, etc. in consequence •,t which, so fat it would not be praCticable. The first class of evidence adduced by the lease ed Counsel on this occasion, respected the gcler.O. demeanour, conduct, and behaviour t:f Mr. loose: to bisetady, v'ich was elle:led hr u...torntli that of a foed end attentive Umbene. Mr. Moore himself pas then called, and, emir - ether points, was que.stiored on the part of their Lordships, respecting his not causing the damages to be levied. He stated his principal reason tot persevering was his determination, that neither he nor his children should' dishonour themselves by touching a shilling that came from such .1 source lie aJited, that at the same time, when he con sidered that bl was not in affluent circumstances, be thought it could no: be held dishonoutable it. him to cover the expenses he was at, from the purse of the Defendant ; and that he accordingly inn- , mated to hie attorney, that he would not pay them himself. Another consideration was that, in conse qaence of the cirturnstences of the Defendant, who, he undentood, was totally uaable to defray the da r.iages. he could, did he proceed to enforce the payment of the full damages, only detain the De fendant in a jail for life ; whereas, by proceediee in the way to which he had alluded, his costs at least migle be paid, which he trusted their Lot d ships would deem neither improper, nor dine bonouraller. Mr. Menre underwent some further examinet:on, tespete the strhjeet, effeet, and period of cartaia cora versations which lie bad with a gentleman, a Mr. Raper, one of the Witnesses, respedting his obser vation of the frequent visits paid by the Defendant, Captain Dornfnel, at his house ; his attentions to Mrs. Moore ; and his consequent deternsinatioa to b'Fbave to the Captain iu such a way as to induce bun to discontinue his visits, or at least to render them less frequent. On this teens, which appeared in the sense of their Lord .hips to be of considerable importance: Mr. Raper, the gentleman abovementioned, also underwees a aross.exanvination of some length; the result of his present testi:none which principelly re speetei the time, in which istr. Moore was alleged o have expressed lermelf to the above effete, was, in t he opinion of one of their Lorddlips, in centradic *a to what he had originally deposed before the ~: reclesirastkal Court, and in the first instance at the; Lordships BAT. The whole, howintse, was stated by the Iski:r.s to proved recolhillkin, ant thaik in plipy ihstatibei, of a v4sy inweeltAditd . ; so that ac*her thearonotar nor She ve:a.ay el the wit hess appeared to.be impeached. After an able Address from the I.earned Counsel I (Me.

It left Bengal in the end of November, and Bornhay on the 20th of De cember. We have copied from one of the Oazeues which it his brought, the official account * Cif the surrender of the Fort of Galna to Ifieutenant ' Colonel %V sttsca, on the 26:h of OttoLer. The , consisted of 700 fighting men. It did not capitulate until two pratlicable breaches were made in the walls of the fort, and . parties were •o• the point of advancing to storm it. Our loss, t during the siege, is said to be very trifling. All thp_s_aber accounts of military operations in the India Gazettes have been already detailed in this paper, with the exception of the official report of the battle of the 17th November, which, we under stand, will be published in this night's Gazette. Private letters, received by the overland dispatch, bring the pleasing intelligence of the safe arrival of :all the Company's ships that sailed from England, • at the several Presidencies, except the fleet which left Portsmouth on the 4th Sept. last ; but there is no ground for apprehension on account of it, as there was not time for the several ships of which it ' was composed, to reach their respefliVe destinations. .11v ships of which it consisted were the Travers, .i•hrosltS; UAWA, MACXINTOSII; Indus, WELDS/4; Lord Keith, RAMAGE ; (k.;.,, M'TAGGIASIT ; De- Wynn.
