This was an indictment instituted at the instance of James Mills. an engineer, residing near Bristol, against the Defeiulant, Joint Mathew Gotch, Eat. for and Proprietor of " Felix Farley's Bristol Journal," for a false, wicked, and scandalous libel, published 111 a Noirober of that Journal, on the 18th of July, 1818. Mr. Hunt, the celebrated orator, appeared to take an active part in this case, as he has intended the Court for several evenings past. The indictment having been read, Mr. Mills . who bud stationed himself at the Counsel table; robe to address the Jury, as Counsel would have been entitled to do, when Mr. ROLLAND, as Counsel fur the Defendant (who was permitted to sit in the table), took an ob., jection to Mr. Mills addressing the Jury, upon the score of irregularity. He contended, upon the taw of England, that a man could not be an advocate and witness in his own cause ; besides in this ease the King was the prosecutor, and no person could appear for him unless he was an accredited advocate. Mr. Mills, with some warmth, demanded a right to address the Jury, observing that it would be extremely hard if ten millions of his Majesty's sub jects. who did not wish to squander away their money in feeing Counsel, should be deprived ante means of defending themselves against libel. Ile hail employed Counsel, hut by souse sort of slight of hand the trial had been put otr from day to day, and by these means lie had been arrived of his assistance. After a reply from 11r.

After another admonition from the Bench, Mills •went on with his evidence. He stated, that in cointequence of an action of law, which he bad will, several Gentlemen uf Bristol, on Friday evening, the 17th July IliklB, he called at Mr. Gulch's of lire, in Bristol; antldsabAd to *Wow if he had in .l.erterl 40 account of his trial in his pewipaper ; sod itt.cmseequesice of answer, witness desired hi would itiourb in his piper/ill' affidavit which he had mode, but he would not without being paid for it s , Witness authorised Inns to insert it, and charge it to him.

The Court could not wait, and, in the absence Of evidence, the Jury found the Defendaut—Not Mr: Mills held the newspaper in his hand, upon which The Com moN-Sumusrr observed, " the paper you hold in your hind was never published in Lon don but by yourself."—(A laugh against Mr. The .

" It is an established maxim in politics, that in even• clime and country political events suit change* of government have had, at all.times, a most de cidetl influence to forming the character end man . tiers of the people. Dublin, besides experielicing this influence in common with the progress of .citrilization of the British Empire, has been affected by causes which were peculiar, and appropriate to the metropolis of Ireland alone. It partook in far 'tifore *air . a proportional dev,ree of the rapid ad vances which Ireland made in population, com merce, civilization, and literature, in the latter part of the eighteenth century, and yet more particularly at the period . wheu Ireland en joyed a flourishing, but too transitory legislative in dependenee. Within that half century, all the public institutions of utility, or elegance,all those entbellishments or improvements which still exist, were completed or commenced ; whilst the inhabi tants boasted, and nut without just pretensions, of their superior urbanity, taste, gaiety, hospitality, and active charitable disposition ; but it is now very apparent, that in all these qualities there has been a visible declension, except only in the last. The reason of the decline is sufficiently obvious. Prior to the Legislative Union, a splendid Vice,- regal Court, with fruptent and crowded Levees, a stationary Parliament, and the occasional residence of all the Nobility and Gentry of the kingdom, diffused wealth nod animation over a metropolis of a size sullicielitly moderate to feel the effects, and imparted to the inhabitants its general a tincture and tone of that civility and good-breeding which are supposed exclusively to belong to the higher classes of society. Since the period alluded to, all these advantages and acquisitions have, in a great degree, been lost to Dublin. Between .four and live hundred ' families of rank and opulence, which onee were residents, are nu longer to b e found in it, and those few who might still h e inalined to make it their occasional abode, are pre. vested by their attendance in London on their par- Jiashentary avocations. Thus that overgrown and bloated capital absorbs all the wealth, and engrosses ell the tah•nta of the sister metropolis, and indeed of the whole sister kingdom. Although the coin asorce of Dublin has not, on the whole, experi *need this general depression, yet the diminished importation, and very limited consumption of wines, iii a striking proof of it. During it, flourishing period, claret was universally drunk after dinner in the opper ranks, nor were the tables of the middle ranks on drys of entertainment without it ; awl it was partirularly esteemed for its purity and excel lence. Claret, except at the vevy lint bibles, is becoming almost as rarely to be met with as tokay. Port wine, which formerly was admitted on the table only during dinner, almost every where supplies its place, together with the native beverage—whiskey. With the pleasures of the convivial board, the relish for public amusements seems also to have greatly abated. Formerly two theatres royal and a circus were supported in Dublin, with a proportional ex hibition of other spectacles. Now, one solitary play house scarcely finds encouragement, though duly supplied with first-rate performers from 11..olithiii ; and Astley's circus, in Peter-aired, is converted into an asylum and alerting-house. IVitli the too frequent circulation of the bottle ; which fromerty was the custom, the spirit of gambling has also almost wholly declined. The once fashionable club-houses are no longer attended. Gaming of all kinds in deed is so much discountenanced, that scarcely a card-table is to be met with in private partie►." A most ridiculous paragraph hut appeared iu some of the Papers, stating die Northern Ex. . ',edition to have put into Scilly from Sheerness is jemr days.—The Courier might have displayed their geographical knowledge equally had they stated. that any vessel had touched at the Cape of Good Hope bound from hence to St. Peter burgh : the fact was, that the brigs Heron and Helicon put into Scilly (tee Lloyd's letter) from a cruise, which they took for the Northern Expedition. • A shoemaker, who resides in Ramsey.

OM TUE LIFE AND CILARAETE'S OF CLEOPATEA.-~ BY MADAME 1.4 BARON NE DE ST AE L HUL4TEIN• [ From " The New Monthly llagazine."3 Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, was the daughter of Ptolemy XII. (Autete.). By her father's will. she became, at the age of seventeen heiress to the throne, conjointly with her brother Ptolemy XIIL. to whom, according to the Egyptian custom, she w is to be married. Bring older thou her bro. tiler, she thought herself entitled, to wield the sceptre alone ; but the young King, instigated, by his Courtiers, attempted to exclude Cleopatra, from the throne ; and the Princess was under the necessity of retiring to Syria, where she levied an army to march against her br•ither. About this period, Pompey was assassinated by order of Ptolemy ; and Cmsar, though he lied little cause to regret being delivered from so powerful au adversary. conceived the deepest hatred and con tempt towards the Egyptian Prince. Caesar pos. seised virtues and passions, which frequently car ried him away even from the views of his own in. terest ; and he succeeded in his enterprises rather through genius than calculation. Ptolemy Auletes had appointed the Boman people tutor to his children. Caesar, in his quality of Dictator, as totaled the power of exercising every authority, and declared himself the arbiter of the differences exist ing between Ptolemy and Cleopatra. The Princess anxiously wished to dispatch to Alexandria some individual competent to take up her defence ; hut Caesar advised her to proceed thither herself with r out delay. rearing last she might be recognised on entering the city. she requested Aptillinforus„ the friend in wham she reposed most cosifidence, to wrap her up in a carpet, and thos convey her on observed into Custer'* chamber. By this bold stra tagem she won the heart of the conqueror. According to Plutarch, Appian of Alexandria, and Dion Cassius, Cleopatra was not strikingly breutiful ; but her talent and grace diffused so gnarly charms over her percent, that it was impossible not to admire her. She spoke several languages, pos. leased extensive general knowledge, and. above all, excelled in the art of pleasing. Her orients! edu cation had imbued her with a taste for magnificence. which subdued the imagination; and, from her constunt relations with Greece, she had acquired the more potent charms of the language and seduc tions of that nation. Caesar was so enchanted with her, that, on the following day, he insisted that her brother should divide the throne, and become re conciled to her. Tim young Prince was astonished to learn that Cleopatra hail visited the palace of Cesar, and wdl knowing the meant by which she had seduced her judge, he immediately hastened to the city, declaring that he was betrayed. He thus excited an insurrection, which Cesar was only enabled to quell, by proving to the people that he had merely executed the will of Ptolemy. But the *ouch Pothitius, whose plans were frustra ted by this reconciliation, in concert with Achilles an Egyptian General, secretly advanced with a num ber of troops to surprise Cmsar, who wits atteuded only by a small fence. Though besieged in his pa lace, the Dictator defended himself until, by receiv ing a reinforcemetit from Syria, he defeated the Egyptians. This occasioned the death of Ptolemy, who, from the mortification of this defeat, drowned himself in the Nile. Then Cooler was enabled to crown Cleopatra without opposition ; lie pieced her on the throne, and having given her in marriage to her youtiger brother, who was then only 11 yeas* of age, he departed. though reluctantly, to subdue the remains of Pomp ey's party. Shortly afterwards Cleopatra was delivered of a sun, whom she named Cmotrion. On her return In Rome (46 years A.C. Caesar recessed her, together with her youthful husband, in his own Palace; he classed them aiumig the friends of the Roman people, mid placed golden statues of Cleopatra beside those of Venus, in the temple which he erected to the Goddess of Love. These honours gave offence to the ROlOlllO. The Queen of Egypt shortly after returned to her own states, where. in order to become absolute min. tress of the kingdom, she administered *eon to Ptolemy, who had, by that time, attained his Itth year. When the death of Cesar gave rise to a new civil war in the Roman empire, Cleopatra was 41:`,C0Sed of having aided Brutus and Cassius; and flank Antony, when on the point of depsrting for the Partition war, ordered her to proceed to Cilicia to explain her conduct. It would appear that Cleopatra on this occasion, devoted her attention mere to the means of pleasing, than to her justification. She embarked on bioad a gilded vessel, fitted up with purple sails. The Queen herself, magnificently dressed, reclined on a sopha near the stern, bur rounded by a group of children, representing the Loves : her women, all remarkable for their beauty, were attired as Nereid*. and stationed on different parts of the deck. A concert of flutes and lyres made the air resound with enchanting harmony ; whilst the most flagrant incense was binned in vases of silver. Thus, as Venus rose Rom the bottom of the ocean, Cleopatra sailed up the Cydnue, to visit the conqueror of Asia. The banks of the river were lined by an immense concourse of spectators, whom the music, the per fumes, and the beauty of the Queen filled with ad miration. Cleopatra landed sit Tarsus amidst uni versal enthusiasm. Antony, who was then sitting au judgment at the tribunal, surrounded by his licturs, ordered Cleopatra to be .cululucted before him ; but this the Queen begged permission to decline, urging, in excuse, the fatigue she had encounter ed in her journey ; at the same time requestieg that Antony would himself partake of a banquet uu board of her vessel. She entertained him with the utmost magnificence; and, when Antony in his turn invited her, he made oarless efforts to excel her in point of splendour. Ife was speedily seduced by her charms, and his passion for her was snore violent than Capstan's, for it occasioned ruin. What must ever be a subject of reproach to Cleopatra is, that she emasculated the character of Antony. Though she evinced greatness of mind under some circumstances of her life. yet she did not place her owls glory in the reputation of the object of her Choice : she hien riably preferred herself to her layer, which, in a women, is always a bad calcidatiou, as well as au unworthy sentiment. Antony renounced, fur the meanwhile, the projected expedition 'gait's* the Perthiaus, and fullowed her to Egypt, where they spent the winter in ; continsitel series of etitertein mem'. Conforming to the taste of Mink Antony, the daughter of the Ptolemies shared with Lim the most refined pleasures, as well as the most ignoble autusemeuts : she accompanied biro in hie hunting parties, played at dice, and rink through the streets with him to hear the language of the poptilace of Alexandria, %%lot were celebrated for their tale.l for raillery. At length Antony was obliged to quit Egypt ; bis disputes with Oetavius called him hack to ital.,. where the reconciliatiou of die two rival+ restored momentary peace to the world, and A hinny mar ried Octavio, without ceasing to lose Cleiipetrn. The Brent, which ltlfeceerlefl lore vent e.I Ism for several years from visiting Egypt ; but slier his un fortunate expedition against the Porilinuis, oboist thirty years A.C., in which he was on the point of experiencing the Cite of Croesise, Cleopatra proceeded in quest of him to P 1 _ .ICellteld, it hrie lie had assembled the wreck of his army, and the two lovers once more departed fur Egyw.— forgetting all his vows to Octavio, all his duty towards his wife, Antony uguin fell a victim to iutemperance, arid the caprice of Cleo patra. IVishing to entertain her with the spec tack of a triumph, and having by some stratagem taken prisoner Artahazus, king of Armenia, he pre sented him in chains before Cleopatra. 011 this oc casion he gave a bouquet to the Ronson people in the Gymnasium, where he caused several thrones of gold to be erected, two of which were elevated above the rest for Cleopatra and Marvell. He pro claimed Cossarion sovereign of Egypt and Cyprus, conjointly with his mother; and, disposing of the kingdoms winch be might afterwards conquer, he named the States which were to he shared among the children lie had had by the Queen. As Cleo patra took a pride in protecting learning, lie conveyed to Alexandria the rich library %stitch Eumeties had collected at Pergarous, comistirig of nearly two hundred thousand volumes. By these arrangements Antony created to himself many enemies at Rome; Augustus, in particular, irritated at the powerful assistance which Cleo patre affeaded to the interests of . his iival, de. Glared war against her in au assembly of the peo ple. Thus the name of a woman resounded throughout the vast enmity of the Rooms. Every thing seemed to illiliolltier a CIO war, and Antony accordingly assembled an army anti quitted Egypt. Cleopatra followed hitsi to Greece. Athens granted ;the highest tumours to her ; and Antony prided himself in appearing bekre the Princess as a citizen of Athens, to present to her the homage of its inhishitauts. Horace calk Cleo- paint a fatal prodigy. Her ascendency over Antony was absolute, and sh e ev-st rendered j I it subservient to the gruntication of her hate ful passious, by putting to death at Ephesus her sister Arnuoe, of whom she was jemluo+. Yet A ti tony would never merry her, either Isecause he could , not resolve to sacrifice lini wile Octsivia. who was a 1 mediating angel between him and Oen:vitas, or be cause he did not wish to incur the airliner:et/raisins td ' the Rowena, who could not ritaure that oar of their Citizens should marry a foreigner. Some of Alituey's letters are preserved, in which he speak* lightly of his connexion with Cleopatra. hoping to conceal, li . i, feigned indifference, the power she really pos. seised over him. At length the day arrived when that fatal power became manifest, namely, at the battle of Actions, between Mark /Slimily and Oetavius Cesar, when, to use the language of Propertitis, " the forces of the move:tie cuotended against each other." Cleopatra, accustomed to the luxurione manners I of the East, was unable to brave the perils of war ; and though she still possessed eufficient energy to put ft period to her tort:item:r e yet terror overcome her in the scene of conflict. She ordered her vessel to be put ashore, and the sixty Egyptian l ollies of the fleet immediately sailed after her. On seeing this, Antony could net refrain front following her ; he went on board her ve s sel, but he stirs au spacer there, than, overwhelmed with shienie atoll regrt I, he placed himself near the helm, covered his face with his hands, and was three days without addressing a single word to her for Wlll/111 110 held Silelllll`rd all.
