THE BRITISH PRESS. LON DO N, MONDAY. Jvwc S. On Friday last, we received crrlr■iedy, with the exception of one other Print, the Report of the Me& Committee, with the Appendix, &e. spot► the Troth Report of the Naval Commissioners ; frum which we copied, ,erb•tiwr, on Saturday, the whole Report of the Sete& Committee, and nearly the whole of Mr. PITT', examination, which we conclude this day. We also give this day, at fall length, the evidence of Mr. TROTTgIt, Mr. RAIKCS, and Mr. GOLDSMIP. These two ex traas will be found to comprise the whole me rits of the case, the evidence of the other parties examined being little more o—l a confirmation of what is contained in our cxtraCts. In order, however, that our account may be as complete as possible, we shall give some further details to-mor row. We hat e been induced to take this course, by the importance of the :natter, and a fear, that, in a case involving so much party spirit, any attempt at compression, however judicious and impartial, night he unjustly censured by some, as calculated to answer sinister purposes. The Cork Mercantile Chronicle of Monday last says, An American vessel arrived this day from Boston, spoke, a few days since, with a Danish ship, which reported, that seven days previous to their meeting (about the 10th), she had fallen in with a fleet of ships, consisting of ele►en sail of the line, the Western Islas. This news, which is related by a passenger of great respectability, has caused a variety of conjectures; but the prevailing opinion is, that they were Lord Nstsos's fleet, perhaps bound in pursuit of the enemy for the West Indies. The circumstance of their being observed laying to would, however, create a belief, that if they wzre his fleet, i)ir had net been able to procure in formation or the enemy having proceeded further to the westward." Letters from Madras of the 4th of December have ben brought to England by an American vessel arrived at Liverpool; but they contain no Dews of any interest. The Hamborgh Mail due nn Wedr.e..3 ty, and also a Gottenbur;h Mail, arrived on Salurday. Their eoatents are not of importance. We have receive) New York Papers to the 23d April. They contain a letter from Capt. Ev Ass, of the Vanguard, contradiaing the report of the loss of that vessel, and also several loose paragraphs respeeting the operations of the llochfort squadron, none of them of any interest. owe — This morning, His IslAaerrr will review several Volenteer Corps upon B'ackheath.

IreManz Ilitcl4 was inclined for feloniously forg ing an acceptance in writing of a bill of exchange fir 1,0001. purporting to be written by the late Duke of Leinster ; and for uttering the same, with intent to defraud the heirs and executors of the said late Duke 01 Leinster ; in another count he was charged with the same offence, with intent to de fraud Joseph Serjeant. Joseph Serjeant, a watch-maker in Jermyn-street, deposed. that the prisoner called upon him in the beginning of April, and asked him if he could get an acceptance of the Duke of Leinster's for a 10001. bill discounted for him ; at the same tithe telling him he had taken four for a like sum, and given the Duke the money for them. One he said had been paid, and that this would be due in July next. The witness said, he would make inquiries, and, on the 19th of April sent for the Prisoner, and told him he would discount the bill, if he found it to he just. He then agreed to give him 4001. in cash, .001. in csods, and the remainder in bills of his own. '1 he Prisoner left the bill with him, and he immediately went to Mr. Ogilby, the husband of the late Duke's mother, the Duchess Dowager of Leinster ; and in consequence of what Mr. °gill)) , told him, he had the Prisoner apprehended. On cross-examination, he acknowledged he had once been tried for receiving a stolen watch, but was ho nourably acquitted. John Norris, upholsterer in Mortimer-street, said, that on the 14th of April, the prisoner came to his house, to purchase some pine timber, for which he proposed to pay him by two bills for one thousand pounds each, accepted by the Duke of Leinster ; the Prisoner told him he had four of them from the Duke, in payment of some goods ; and that two of them had been duly paid. Charles Trebeck, Solicitor to the Executors of the late Duke of Leinster, proved the probate of his Griee's will, by which the Lords Henry and Robert Fitzgerald, -and John Joseph Henry, Esq. were appointed Executors. Lord Robert did not ail, and his name not being inserted in the india ment, the Court was of opinion that it was fatal to the first count ; and that the Prosecutors must rely on the count which charged the Prisoner with an intent to defraud Mr. Serjeatit. Mr. Trebeck further stated, that having heard the Prisoner had a demand on the Executors of the late Duke, he wrote to him, and appointed him to meet at his house, to substantiate his claims; the Prisoner and Mr. herd, his Attorney, came on the 23J of February ; a bill was produced, appearing to have become due on the 16th of January, then past ; they had a long conversation on the suhjea, during which the Prisoner stated, that he bad lent the Duke four thousand pounds, two thousand of which was paid in the York Coffee-house, St. James's -street, in the presence of Mr. Davenport Sealley ; and the remain der in a short time atter ; the event of the conversa tion was, that he, on the part of the Executors, re fused to pay the bill. Mr. Ogilby, of Grosvenor-place, deposed that he was married to the Duchess Dowager of Leinster, was perfe&ly well acquainted with the handwriting of the late Duke, and did not think the signature to the bill produced was his hand-writing. On cross-examination, he said the Duke might have written it, but oe did not think he ewer did. There was one particularity in the Duke's signature, which was, that on a frank he always put a dash under Leinster, and to his knowledge never did in a letter or a bill The signature to this bill had a dash under it. General Ormsby gave the same evidence as to the handwriting. The Clerk to the Keeper of Newgate produced the debt'u's book, from which it appeared that the Prisoner came into custody for debt on the MI of July her, and had been removed in September to the Fleet. The whole amount of his debts was 6601. The Prisoner being then called upon for his de fence, stated, that he began the world with 70001. AS a corn and cheese merchant, in Cheshire, and became a bankrupt in con , equence of losses at sea. that he had paid 16 shillings in the pound, and set up business again, but failed a s-cond time ; and having obtained front his first creditors a letter of li cence to collect his debts, had collected accordingly about 40001. with which he came up to London in June last, where he met Mr. Davenport Sedley, who, being made acquainted with his having said sum, told him that the Duke of -- had applied to him for 50001. and if he would lead his money to him he would get good payment and security. He agreed to leniithe Duke three or four thousand, and bedley and he in a tew days after went by ap pointment to wait on the Dike at Reddish's Hotel, St. James's Street. When they arrived there he was informed by the Earl of that the Duke had that day received a supply from another quar ter. They then went out, and as they were about to part at the door, a Gentleman passed by whom Sedley tainted, and said he wa: the Duke of Leht stet-. and if he wanted money he was as good secu rity as any in the world. Sedley followed him, and the stranger returned, and after some conversation the Prisoner agreed to lend the money, and they appointed to meet a few days afterwards at the York Coffee House, and did so, and the Duke agreed to give him his notes for 40001. at is, 8, 10, and 12, months for 35001. in cash. Sedley then was called in, and he gave the Duke 20001. in B ink notes in his presence, and received bills at the same time, appointing another place the following day to pay the remainder, which he did. Not being able to get the bills discounted,he was arrested and lay in prison for some time, and when he re covered his liberty, he was so much distressed that he offered one of them to Mr. Serjeant, thinking it was a good bill. Davenport Salley was then called, and corrobo rated the story of the prisoner, relative to his lend ing the money to the Duke of Leinster. On his cioss examination, he acknowledged he had been sent over from Ireland, by virtue of a warrant of Lord Castlereagh's, charged with having purchased some bills from a person who was a bankrupt. Mr. Sedley, in explanation, said, that he had brought an action against the gaoler for not chew ing him the warrant, and had recovered 1001. da mages ; the action was tried a second time, and he again had a verdict for the same sum, but on argrnent it was set aside, and he lost his 1001. and his costs, because it was fou:•i Lord Castle, reagh had no right to grant such a warrant. T he witness here proceeded to observe upon the conduct of Lord Caillereagh, upon which the court inter. fered and stopped him. Baron GRAHAM charged the Jury, st,ho, after he. ing out more than two hours, brought in a .c.rdia Nut C;i4i.'tq.
