It could not be grateful to the Cosiest' to behold the Emperor of Gtilli•NY, who has so many insults and aggressions to revenge, in an imposing attitude, with the helmet on his head and the lance in its rest. It must be unfavour able to his designs on Naples and Tut key to see that power prepared to retard or divert the career of his cononerts and his crimes. As he wished it to b e , he would, no doubt, make it ; and, accord. in -ly, the assemblage of Austrian troops along foe fioi tiers ;of Italy may have awakened his r...tr• • , su s picions. 'These troops were estimated :it ,11103 meo, and it has been lately reported, that they are to be augmented to 70,000. Their a voe•ed ohjea was to form a cordoa to prevent lb! extension of the plague; which, the Preach p ipers assert, has either entirely or materi ally subsided, at Leghorn, Genoa, and the other infidel islaee.. The augmentation of the time then, at the very rinse when the ease had erased, must have excited the je 'lousy :. of BO%A?ARZE, and may have been the suhjea of angry remonstrance to the Luperial Ambassador. We lately i opted from the Paris Papers a notice from T.LLEY aA h ri, in whiiir be stigmatises all the subordinate Officers in the Foreign Department over which he presides, as use indlers, and cautions in divilaals, as well Frenchmen as foreigners, against holding any correspondence with then' upon the affairs of that office.

LAT. • ...enem••••• • . • . . COURT OF EING'e-BENCH, WESTMINSTER, Jam. 29. This being the first day of Ndlaty Term, the Judges of the several Courts assembled us West mintier Hall, according to custom, ands after the* usual ceremonies, repaired to their respeeive - Courts. The proper officer attended this court, to make the usual returns upon oath, upon the reports of the several convicts under sentence of transportation, in His Majesty's dock-yards at Woolwich, Deptford, and Portsmouth ; also, of those on board the hulks stationed at Portsmouth harbour, &c. Those re turns were made in the usual form, and stated, that the convias were all remarkably healthy and or derly, and were prevented the use of strong or spi rituous liquors, except in a medical way. A great number of persons qualified for bail, but none to a large amount. DAY RUt.FS Lord E an aonci it gave notice, that since the last term, the Court had a conference with the other Judges, respeCting the ;ranting of day rules during term ; upon which their Lordships agreed to an Order, which his Lordship direeted should be read. The order stated, that in luture, all persons con- Sued in the King's Bench Prison, or within the aisles thereof, should be allowed no more than three day rules during each term ; that any application for further time should be made upon . sufficient affi +davits ; that the former order made in this behalf ;ihould be rescinded ; and that, upon the whole, no Imore than seven days rules should be granted in taCii term. II - CARICATURES. c AAAAA V. I,lXOg. Mr. Bosoms moved fur leave to file a Criminal Information against a Mr. John Dixon, an engraver, residing in this City. The application was grounded upon the affidavit of the complainant, Mr Moses Carara, who was a respelable gentleman, and an officer in a volunteer corps ; he was not of the Jew ish persuasion, as might be supposed from the name s his family had been so, but were not now. The affidavit stated, that Mr. Carara had employed an artist of the name of Atkinson to paint his pitture. and the learned Counsel regretted exceedingly that he was not then furnished with sufficient materials to bring this gentleman befote. the Court. This picture ', was exceedingly well painted, and in a very good style, but had one very material defect, in not being at all like the original, on which account Mr. tara objeEled to paying for it. In consequent of this, Mr. Atkinson thought proper to go to his house, abused him, and beat him most violently, and, at the same time, challenged him to fight him; and, upon the refusal of Mr. Carara, he called him a scoundrel, coward, and other opprobrious epithets : Shortly after this transatlion, a caricature picture was published, and sent to Mr. Carara. It repre sented the painter in the aft of kicking this gentle man, while the mother of the latter appears looking out of a window above, and exclaiming, " 0/1 nty poor lirn !!!" From whence we conclude, Mr. C. has the additional name of Benjamin. To make the pisfta:e the more conspicuous. Mr. Carara is dressed in the regimentals of his corps, which were rather remarkable, a green jacket. with light blue pant-L -loons, and in order that no ono might mistake for whom it was intended, the number of the house (9), and name of the street (Coaway-street), were con spicuously delineated. Underneath this descriptive performance were written appropriate verses, nearly as follows : A hold Lieutenant, once a Mo:ei„ Lately found h.l honour nicked ; And, as he 1.01 not blonds nous, Ile rather let hilairif be kicied. Mr. Basalts& observed, that he had taken the liberty of transposing a word in the last line, as in the original it was rather coarse (a loud laugh). This. he said. might be a very pleasant jest to some people, but it was no laughing matter to the Gen tleman who had been so grossly injured ; and he very well remembered their. Lordships having recently said. that those sort of practices were not to be al lowed with impunity. It appeared, that this Mr. Dixon was the engraver of this picture; and, upon being applied to relative to it, he refused to give up his author; it was therefore found expedient to make this application to the Court. COUXT--" Take a Rule to shew cause." TUX ZING V. LOWTNXII. Mr. Ginn informed the Court, that in the course of last term he had moved for a criminal informa tion against the Defendant, for writing two letters of a libellous tendency to the Magistrates of Wiltshire ; but, in consequence of some informality in the affi davits, and a hope that the business might be ami cably adjusted, their Lordships allowed it to stand over—however, the Defendant had since appealed from the order of the Magistrates, and his appeal Was dismissed ; it was therefore necessary to trouble the Court with the application. A Rule to shew Cause was granted. Mr. Dam e,ut moved for leave to compound a penalty in a qui WM aftion, upon payment of 201. He observed, that part of the penalty, instead of going to the Crown, went to the poor of the parish. and the Churchwardens consented to this application. Lord EL LIN sosouan.—la And are the poor to have nothing ? We cannot allow the rights of one party to be disposed of by another." Motion refused. Some short time after, a Junior Barrister inform. , ed the Court, that he was unmated on the part of the Churchwardens to consent to Mr. Da Dorm's Motion. COURT.---" But we do not consent to it ; we can not allow a compromise to the prejudice of the parish." . . JONES V. SWARMS'S. Mr. J aavts applied for a Rule to spew cause why the Plaintiff should not pay the Defendant's costs in this cause; he moved this under a late Aft of Parliament, to prevent vexatious arrests, and it 3p - peared. there was no reasonable or probable cause for arresting the Defendant. 1-lis affidavit stated, that this aftion was brought for the price of a quantity of coals, which, when ' measured by the Meter. was found to be considera bly deficient in quantity. 1. he Plaintiff was after• wards prosecuted by the common informer, who re covered a penalty of 501. it7:,itist him, upon this identical trausaclion.

This aaion was brought ter. recover 7001. the amount of two bills or exchange, • which had been drawn in Paris. The ground on. which he made this application was, that the draw ers,.who were the only persons who could prove the consideration, were at present in France. Sir J A PAIS MA IMP' MUD asked what the consider ation was, as, if it was wine or brandy. he could not rant the rule? Serj. RattcY then assured the • Court, that the consideratioa was paintings, and Ills rule was granted. . AMERICA. ;~ NRW..TORK, DEC. 10. A are, more extensive and injurious than has hap- ,-; pened in this city for many years, occurred tally . this morning, by which the block on the south side of Coffee-house Slip, including the old colfee-houses't .: and extending along Water-streer. to within a &Neu of Gouverneur'sdant, crossing Front-street to the water, was consumed, with the exception of two or .., three houses on the lane.

From the force of the winJ, and the sow nem with which the citizens calleCtel to chele the - - progress of the Limes, they commun .

Many stores; containing a widow , _ ble property of brandy and other liquors, as ales East and Wost India goods to a very lal' amlont, '. were, with their contests, entirely ci-ninmed. The loss of property and house, is estimate lAt upwards at .. two millions of dollars. Messrs.
