Ducorps and I.emercier required to he ta ken to the Hotel de Ville to make some declarations. Their request was granted, and they were at terwards brought back to the scaffold.

" To the President and Members composing the Criminal Court of Justice of the Department of the Seine, sitting at Paris : Our heart has been the more affeded by the new plots that have been formed against the state by the enemies of France, since two men, who have rendered great services to the country, have taken part in them. " By your sentence of the 10th of June last, you have condemned to death Athanase Hyacinth Bouvet de Loaier. His crime is great ; but we have wished to make him feel in these circumstances the effects of that clemency which we have always held in singular prediledion.

According to letters from Hamburgh, Denmark is making military preparations. For some time the Court or Copenhagen has been far from maintain ing a good understanding with that of Stockholm, atsd there is reason to fear a war between those two kingdoms. COLCHESTER, JuLv.9. This day the evidence on the part of the prose cution of Lieutenant-Colonel Gillespie, was finished by Major Cuneron, and the Court adjourned until Wednesday next at twelve o'clock, to give him time to prepare his defence. There was a grand review on Broxtead-heath, about three miles from hence, by Lieutenant Gen.

COURT OF KINGra BENCH—GulLon4t.t, J&LY In. Sittings &fire Lord ELLENNOROUGH and a Sptcid Ju , y. INGLISIII V. TYCE. This was an action to recover damages against the Defendant for vending a spurious kind of medi cine, in imitation of Dr. Anderson's Scotch fills, as sold by the Plaintiff, whO was the sole proprietor of that medicine. Mr. Easit INN stated the Plaintiff's case, and observ ed on the dangerousefFects of spurious medic ines,both to the health and the comforts of human life, and the wonderful efficacy which the genuine Pills had been known to produce, and the necessity of su c h do mestic medicines, for the renovation of declining life. He adduced one instance of their singular ef ficacy in the person of Macklin, the late celebrated Comedian, who lived to the age of upwards of an hundred years,and, who for the last forty years of his life, had been constantly in the habit of using this antidote till his death. It was upwards of two centu ries since that very emir.ent and noted physician, who had been first Physician to King Charles the First, had made this useful discovery. Doctor Pa trick Anderson had an only daughter. who died, and her successor. Miss Kirkpatrick, married into the Plaintiff's family. The right of property in this medicine so descended to Mrs. Sarah Inglish, the late proprietor. who, having adopted the Plaintiff, devised her rights to him upon his taki..g the name of Inglish : for which purpose he afterwards ob tained His Majesty's patent. The Plaintiff fur some time made use of the same advertisement which had been so long made use of by Mrs. Inglish, and which was always wr a pp e d a b out t h e Pill Boxes. This advertisement the Defendant copied almost li terally, and appropriated to the same purpose in vending his Pills, which were far inferior to the get mime ones, and by thnt means imposed a fra id upon the public very injurious to the Plaintiff. *I he Learned Counsel admitted, that every man was at liberty to make and sell Pills in his own name ; but the question was, whether be could make and pub lish them in the name of another person ? The advertisement. as formerly used by Mrs . Sarah Inglish, and her brother James Inglish, was then proved. and the continuance of that use by the, Plaintiff. The purchase of the spurious medicine at the Defendant's warehouse was also proved, and the advertisement accompanying it. Mr. Newben y proved, tli.a he had been selling the genuine Medicine since the year 1773 ; and that it was of very great reputation, and of very consider able sale; he also said, any stranger might be de ceived from the simila rity of the advertisements, &c. It also appeared, that the Defendant had sold a great quantity of his own manufaSure, both by wholesale and retail. Mr. GI eas was proceeding to argue, that the Plaintiff should be non-suited, upon the ground that he had not proved any thing which could chew that the Defendant had made use of the Plaintiff's name in the sale of his Medicine, a:cording to the aver ment in his declaration, and which he ought to have done—but, wishing to put an end to all differences, he proposed to withdraw a Juror, and to eng tge that the Defendant would never again sell his pills with the same, or any similar advertisement. After some consultation, this proposal was agreed to. COURT OF COMMON PLIAS, GUILD/I tt.L. Sittings after Tern, before Sir JA MES Msr.srlEtD 417 d a SpfCial Jury. LODGE V. DEIDGE.S. This was a case arising from a circumstance' which long engaged the attention of the public ; namely, the prosecution of a claim made by the Defendant to the Peerage of Chandos. The Plain tiff, who is Lancaster Herald at Armc, was em ployed as a confidential agent on that occasion, and, by the present adion, sought to recover 5381. 19s. the amount of a bill for disbursements and charges incurred in the progress of his attendance at di ferent places on the Defendant's business. Setjeants SHIPIIERD and Besr, in support of the Plaintiff's case, described Mr. Lodge as having me rited the most unlimited approbation from the De fendant for perseverance in a long and laborious research after those documents absolutely necessary to support a claim to the Barony of Chandos ; the endeavours to procure which had also occupied the time and attention of Mr. Townsend, Herald at Arms, who preceded the Plaintiff in the business for a period of near eight years, at the end of which time the Defendant, having some reason to be dis satisfied with Mr. Townsend, the Plaintiff was re quested to undertake the further conduit of the business ; and from then until the claim was de cided at the House of Peers, his assiduity had never been diminished, as relating to the Defendant's in. wrest. By the items in the Plaintiff's bill, it appear ed he had charged for searching no less than nine hundred wills in the Prerogative Office, for a long search at the British Museum, and various dis. bursenieuts during attendance at the Heralds' Col lege, bringing the claim before the Lord Chan cellor, and finally to the House of Peers ; the whole amount of which charges, it was contended, would barely compensate for the time expended and soli citude which had been used. The Defendant, con vinced that the Plaintiff was entitled to a remune ration, had paid 33A. and, in the present instance, had no inclination to withhold the h.,:ance, if the different charges in the bill were subsr..atiated. Mr. George Naylor, York Herald, and three other heralds of the college, being called, examined the bill, and deposed, that, according to the charges in the Heralds' College, the items were reasonable. Mr. Anthony koser Haden, an officer in the Treasury, said, he had known the Plair.tiif ten years, during seven of which he had been, to Wit ness's knowledge, conuantly eitgaged in the De fendant's business. Mr. B ydges, brother to the Defendant, described the prosecution of his brother's claim to the Peer age of Chandos, and expressed his entire 3a:iv - anion with the Plaintiff's zeal and assiduity. Witness thought the latter intiticd to a considerable temu neration for his se rvices, but could not say to what extent. Mr. Serjeant Coe/mit. obscrred, it wig not the inteniaoa of the Defendant to impute any thing im planer to the Plaintiff as relating to the bill ; the Utteudaut only wanted to have the charge: made ont by evidence, :Met which be would willingly pay the Utmost that could be demanded. The Learned Serjeant proceeded to ea 4 evidence to prove the charges were exorbitant.'-‘O4ll Sir J A ligs MA NSF I St. D observed the Plaintiff itieght to have described in a regular manner the mins he had ex pended, which it did not appear he had done. There was a proper way of doing hilliness, namely, by pre serving receipts and making memorandums ; and, if such were neglected, the party became dependant on the honour and generosny of the person liable to pay ; the Plaintiff had produced no evidence of that description, therefore it was fair to conclude the 3501. which had been considered sufficient by the gentlemen of the Heralds' College, was an the Plaintiff had a right to claim. The Plaintiff was nonsuited, not being able to prove his demand. REVIEW AT BLACKHEATH. Yesterday was appointed for the review of the Volunteers of the Western District of Rent, on Blackheath. Although it rained inceuantly during the whole day, th ese cor ps assembled at the usual hour. 'l'hey consisted of the Blackheath, Green wich, Deptford, Woolwich, Lewisham, Chisel hurst, Bromley, Sydenham, Foot's-Cray, Paul's. Cray, St. Mary's-Cray, North-Cray, and Bexford la. Pantry, the Blackheath and Deptford Cavalry, and Kentish Yeomanry. About twelve o'clock, the Earl of Romney, before whom they were appointed to be reviewed, appeared on the ground, attended by his son, Lord Marsharn, an.l Lord Sidney, Colonel of one of the corps of Ket.tish Yeomanry. Shortly after, the Earl of Camden arrived. The troops formed in a line, with their right extending beyond Maudlin Coll:ge, and their left beyond the wind-mills. They were commanded by Co lonel Hardy. It rained with great violence at the moment the revie w commenced - , and did not abate during the whole review, which occupied more than three hours. The troops went through several evo lutions, but were soon ordered to desist from au attempt to fire, as not one musquet in twenty could be discharged, the powder being wet the instant it was in the pan. All that was se-Is gave the spectators great reason to lament that the . review had fallen on s uch a d a y. The varions manceuvres were executed with even more than usual spirit; as if these Volunteers meant to express, that it is nut pomp and parade only in which they excel. No greater alacrity could have been display ed if the day had been unusually fine, and an is semblage of the greatest fashion and beauty the speetators. It will not be supposed the spectators were many. There were about twenty carria v es. all of persons of distindlion, and about two hundred persons on foot, chiefly the labouring people of the neighbourhood. A little incident happened during the review that was by no incurs uninterev Mg. Tito ground was slightly kept by a very f•sir of the infantry, and both the catriages and the Lint sp-c -tators hallowed the troops very du a.lv in every movement. Suddenly, the horse on .Le right wing of the line was - ordered to sewr the frunt, while the line retreated. Tney charged, on the tuli gal lop, across the whole ground occupied by the spec tators. It was impossible for many of these to get out of the way. Some screened themselves behind the carriages. The rest did the only prudent thing that remained : they stood still ; and the cavalry opened their files, shunning every little groape with the utmost precision, as if they had been natural and impassable obstacles in their way. 'I his was donlily pleasing; both for the relief it gave to the fears of many, and as it was a better proof, than meat y formal manoeuvres, of the accuracy of Li: discipline of these corps of cavalry. After the review, refresh ment was given to all the corps, at the Green Man ; and Lord Romney, the officers of the corp., and many of the neighbouring gentry, sat down to a very elegant dinner at the same place. ALAR‘IING FIRE. A fire broke out last night als3nt elPeen o'clock, at Mr. Gansden's cooperage, Angcl.alky, Whi:e. chapel. It burned with incredible fury, and, il lumined the atmosphere over all Load ..i arid Westminster. Before it could be retrained. it ex tended to the dwelling.house of Mr. Crape, mtg.:: baker, which was also consumed. The fire was completely overpowered at one o'clock ; Nye pre mise, were insured. The volunteers and firemen were very *Clive. This is the third time Mr Ga den's premises have been burned within these two years. (CIRCULAR.) TifY I.ORD, Wet yJute4,lBo4.
