The substance of Which is as follows : `tAs the principles inseparably conneaed with the distribution of the Indemnities in the declarations made in the name of the Mediating Powers, on the 18th of August last, and re-produced with modi fications, which they consented to in the general Plan of the Bth of Oaober, ought to he entirely comprehended in the Cant-hewn, which the Extraor 'titnary Deputation is about to form immedi ate ly in regard to the whole, the Lmlersigned (Minister Extraordinary of, the French Republic, and the Minister Plenipotentiary of His Mljesty the Em. yetor-of Russia) rake the earliest opportunity of proposing, ,after the e nlightened refie4ions made to them by several of the Sub delegates, that the ele venth of these principles be announced in, the fol lowing manner : " Eleventhly, the preceding dispositions render of no avail the pretensions which existed, both to the Territories become French, and to those which existing to property given in the room of others on the Left Bank of the Rhine, shall not be produced, examined, and settled in an amicable manner within the course of a year. " This Mode of expression, which at first seemed Sufficiently explicit, according to the term axed in the twelfth principle, for every transaEtiOn what ever, expresses better indeed the provident intention Of the Mediating Poweri, and corresponds better to the solicitude of the Deputation for Elm general good: (Signed) gr LAFORET, " Baron de %mut. oa.

" Friends and brothers, when you separated onrselves from your wives, your children, your fathers, and your friends, to conquer for your chil dren, liberty, independence, and prosperity, you th4ndoned,with alacrity and courage your cottages, and your flocks. This idea, the Godofour fa_ titers is with us, and proteds us," gave you force to brave all ,the dangers, arid to despise the fatigues of war. Your quitted- with songs your mountains and yoOr valleys, to enter into the field and defend the cause of liberty and your country. The Al. thighty blessed your arms, and t s eaid the just wishes of a nation known only by its rectitude, and which had armed for its liberty and independence. Our enemies, our oppressors, the roi.disarit Helvetic UoVernment, with its feeble party, have been chased almost to the frontiers of the confederate Cantons. " But, brothers and friends, we have received a notification, that if we'did not by our conduit give prloltz. of an entire confidence in the First Consul of the powerful nation of France, who has caused a de. tlaration to be made by his Envoy, General RA's, our tathers assembled at Stips44*, that he wishes to interpose as Mediator in' the war which we are tarrying on against the odious Helvetic Government, - .ve•honlci . be compelled to it by the vidorious arms Of the French warriors.-.-Brothers, friends, con. federates . , who among us could conceive the thought -hi menacing ourselves with the numerous and ex. perienced armies of France No, friends, no ; we wish to await peaceably the determination of the li'irst Consul, and with that order, that moderation, and - that discipline, which have hitherto guided • jPetit• siepS, you will receive, we are convinced, ihe orders of your superiors, of your General ; and evcii, it it should be necessary, you will return to your residences; in order that our country may not be exhausted' 'by the entrance of Foreign Troops ; that we may not be deprived of the scanty harvest of this year, which we hoped to consuine with our children; and that we may not be plunged into in. dikeike and misery: It is only the Helvetic Go. vernment, direaed by its passions arid its private i interest, that could ca ll n the aid of Foreign Troops ; we, who took up arms only 'for our country and tranquillity, have no need of Troops to attain our object: But, relying on our eon. tiCt, ere date'to hope, that the First Consul of name, who has guaranteed our independence, :and who has been deceived by false reports, will, as soon as he than have been infornied of the true stare .olthiriga; take measures, which Will secure our honour, and the prosperity and independence of our country.

Ste°if!, DAY—THL - ItsOA.V, OCT. 28. ROBBERY. Simmi Fuller and Anne Pinny were tried for robbing Josiah Raynes of a gold watch, his coat, waistcoat, hat, money, and other articles, in the dwelling-house of Eleanor Gibbs, No. 3, Mari gold Court, in the Strand, on the zist of Septetn ber last. Josiah Raynes deposed, that he is an Apothecary, in Great Mary-le-bone-street : on the day men. tinned in the Indietmeot, he dined with a party of friends at the Not thumberland Coffee.house, in the Strand, and did not leave the compall till ten o'clock at night. Finding himself a good deal af feaed by, the liquor he drank, he took a walk over Blackfriar's Bridge; and on his way home, on his return, he was accosted by the Prisoner, Anne' Penny, as he believes, whose invitation to go home with her, he was willing to accept of. She con. duled him to her lodgings, in a two-pair of stairs back room, and was partly undressed to. go to bed, when, in about five minutes after his first arrival, a man rushed into the room, and knocked him down, by a violent blow on the side of the head ; when he recovered ftitnself from the effea of the assault on his person, he perceived that both the man and his Dulcinea were fled, taking away his clothes, hat, gold watch, &c. and the man leaving his own hat behind. In his waistcoat pockets were a ten pound and a two pound note, a guinea, and some other money. From his state of Intoxication at the time, and-the contusioo he was in, he could not positively identify either of the Prisoners ; hut, he recolleCted, that the man who knocked him down, had Oil a green Military Jacket; and, he swore, that the watch, coat, and other articles produced, were his pro_ perry, of which he was robbed, in the manner de scribed, Elizabeth Gibbs_ said, that at the time of this transaction, she was at work in a neighbouring house, and came home on hearing the noise, and the report of a Gentleman having been rubbed. She went into Anne Penny's room, and saw the Prose cutor without his clothes, and complaining of the treatment he received t on the table she saw the working hat the Pri. oner, Fuller, usually wore, and some buttons, all of which were marked 26111 Light Dragoons : the two Prisoners lodged toge ther in her house, and lived as .1,60 a and wile : she did not exatily know what builnessl the man was of, but .understood that lie..workedi upon the River : his usual dress was a blue, and sometimes a green, Military Jacket. Michael Coleman, a Watchman, said, he knew the Prisoner, Fuller, by sight, having frequently observed him sneaking in the Court. His deposi tion was nearly to the same effeti as that of the fore going Witness. It appeared that neither of the Prisoners returned to their lodgings after the robbery. _ _ Thomas Hause said he knew the Prisoner, Fuller, and. had a suspicion that it was he who committed the robbery in question. In about ten days after it happened, he accidentally met him in the street, having a bundle tied up in a handker chief, on a stick upon his shoulder. The Prisoner asked him to go and have something to drink, but he declined it, saying he had no money. The Witness then told him he was wanted at Bow. street; to which, the Prisoner replied he would not go there. The Witness then told him that Mrs. Gibbs was taken up, and that he might clear her by Making his appearance ; but he persisted in refusing to attend there. He turned into Buck ridge -court, and the Witness following, he :Jollied at a door and asked him what he wanted Of him ? The Witness replied that he should soon know ; upon which the Prisoner lifted up his stick and made a blow at him, but did not hit him. He then went into the house, shutting the door after him, and got out by a back door. The Witness, however pursued him, and with the assistance of .two Officers, he was taken after a. smart chace, in which he dropped the bundle. containing the gold watch, waistcoat, and other ,artilles taken from the Prosecutor, as well as some wearing appa:cl, Which appeared to belong to the Prisoner himself. He at first denied knowing where Anne Penny was, but afterwards said she was at Mr. Norman's, at the foot of the Bridge in Maidstone, from which place he himself just arrived in his way from Maidstone. Two Constables confirmed the latter part of the testimony, adding, that in pursuance of the diredlion given by Fuiler, they pl%.ceeded to Maidstone, w here they arrested Anne Penny at the house of Mr., Norman, and on searchin g , the coat of the Prosecutor was found in her possession. Anne Penny stated in her .Detence, that she went out along with her husband, and on her return found her room open, the place in great disorder, and went away on hearing that a Gentleman had been robbed. This she declared was all she knew' of the transaaion. Fuller said, that when he came borne from his wo r k On the zist of September, he found the room open and without a light. Supposing his wife to be in bed, he was preparing to lie down, when he found a man asleep in the bed. This circumstance so: enraged him and inflamed his jealousy, that he re-' solved to live no longer with a woman so unfaith ful, and determined to set out immediately for Maidstone, from whence he meant soon to go home to Ireland. With this resolution he began to pack up all his things in a handkerchief, and in the darkness and hurry, supposed that he had inclosed into his bundle the watch and other articles be. longing to the Prosecutor. On his arrival at Maidstone he discovered these str ange acqu i s i t io ns and returned. to London with a design to return them to the right owner if he could find him, hut had not time to make inquiry, when . '4 was taken - .< up. He said he was in the army, and ha served in the course of eighteen years in 'three regfinents of Dragoons—that he Was wounded in ggypc *fighting for his Country, and sent home with -a view of returning to Ireland, his native country. He had, as - he asserted, the best of chara6ters in the regi. ments in which he served, but his Officers being at prese,pt at the top of the Rock of Gibraltar, it would not be convenient to being them into Court to speak for , . The jory after a tittle hesitPtiOrii pionexlced both the Prisnner.- - -, - .Guitty—Dealb.. The man said that he was 39 years of age, and the woman z 3. Charles Baxter Was charged With a tapitah fence in privately stealing from the person of John Christian Frederic Walssman, on the 7 h of ()Jobe!, in the parish of St. Paul Covent-garden, a Poe . . ket-book, value 4s. containing two Bank f Eag_ land Notes for 21. each, and six Notes of il. each his property. The Prosecutor it appeared is a Foreigner ; he was at Drury-lane Theatre on the evening of the 7th.insr. Towards the close of the Play he carne out into the lobby, and instinAively, as it w ould appear, kept his hand in his right coat_potkfo. On seing a friend in the lobby, a Mr. Shuitz, alto a Foreigner, he was necessitated to dislodge hand in order to shake that of his friend : at this m anent he felt the crowd press upon him, and he imagined he felt something extraordinary about his pocket ; turning round, he saw the Prisoner standing close behind him, and in the aft, as the Prosecutor de scribed, of putting his pocket-book into his bosom. lie instantly caught hold of him, saying, " you have got my pocket book." At this nymnent some persons, apparently confederates of - the Prisoner, rushed against the Prosecutor, and endeavoured to compel him to louse his hold. Wlr . Shultz then took hold of the Prisoner, and instantly he was seen by one of the Witnesses, a Mr. Smith, to stoop down ; the pocket-hoOk was instantaneously afterwards observed on the ground near the PO. soner's feet. He was shortly' after secured, and handed over to the Officers, who, on searching, found nothing remarkable about him. • In his defence the Prisoner said, that it was his handkerchief he was putting into the breast-pocket of his coat, when the Prosecutor thought proper to lay hold of him. Of the pocket-book e knew nothing. He had no Witnesses to bring forward. Mr. Baron - ThomPsoN, in his charge to the Jury, observed that though the charge was capitally laid, yet the evidence did not bear out the. capital part of the charge, namely, that of privately stealing from the person, inasmuch as the party acknowledged to have felt something at his pocket, at the moment in which the pocket-b')ok must have been taken. With regard to the fa& of a common stealing, they would , decitleAhat from what appeared in evidence. 'lle-Wry 'shard their Verdict Guilty of steal. ing,lbtit-not privately from the person. Elijah Collins was indicted for feloniously steal ing on the 25th of September, a bag containing B+ths. of loif sugar, value 4.1. the property of Messrs. Smith and Travers. It appeared that on the day laid in the India. ment, the Prosecutor's Carter was sent out with a waggon cart, in which was placed goods of various descriptions, for delivery at different places. Among these were two bags of sugar and one of rice, which were destined for delivery at Iron. Gate wharf ; the other packages had been duly delivered, and it being too late for the delivery at Iron-Gate wharf, the Carter "was returning home, and coming along Tower-hill, he happened to look at the back of his cart.waggon, when he found it open and missed the hag of sugar in question. In a few minutes after an acquaintance of the Carter's overtook him in -a one horse cart ; they had not proceeded far together, when, by one of the dispensations of the capricious Geddess, Fortune, they met the Prisoner with the hag of sugar on his shoulder ; the Prosecutor's Car ter instantly challenged him with the theft, on which he immediately dropt the hag and endea_ voured to get away, but withaut effe:a. The Prisoner in his defence said, he found the bag in Rosemary lane, he took it up and was pro ceeding homewards with it, when two of the Wit_ nesses came behind, pushed him down, and took the bag from hini 4ln o'll'4u: of this defence, however, not an atom o f e Vt tire . ' was adduced. The Learned Baron l:7emea ,tfi l d Case a clear one, in which the Jury manifesli v ti Oi'dr perfect coincidence, by finding a verdiCt of Guilty. We are happy in stating, that Lady E. BENTINCK is as well as her friends could wish her after the late accident she met wi►h. The following account may he depended on as more authentic than any which has yet appeared :—Lady EDWARD BENTINCK was lately riding out with a party of friends, when on descending a hill her horse stumbled. In recover ing him, he made a twist, and broke her thigh just above the knee, whilst on her saddle ; she remained in that state s!ill keeping her seat, and supported by Sir J. B. BuRGES, &c. till proper assistance was procured. Although the greatest dispatch was used, nearly an hour elapsed before her Ladyship was got into a carriage. She applied and fastened the bandage herself to her thigh, and since her confinement, up wards of a fortnight, has given a decided proof of that fortitude of mind she was always believed to possess. .A young Seaman of the name of Edwards, who had, in the course of the late War, escaped the pe rils of the watery element, and braved the dangers of many naval affirms, returned home on being paid off: with his hard earned pittance he made a pur chase of the Boat plying betwixt Borrowstounness and Crombie Point. This he did with the virtuous resolution of sinking his little stock, and devoting his youthful years for the subsistence of an aged fa ther. Unfortunately, on the first night that he went into the Boat, he accidentally fell overboard and was drowned. On Saturday night, at eight o'clock, as a woman was passing up Rope lane, Plymouth, she was attack 's'b two soldiers with drawn bayonets, who detiiak l l l ea her money with horrid impreca. Lions : shViiiiinediately cried murder, on which one of the A/Maids her, aying she should not cry murder for nothing, wantonly stabbed her with the bayonet over her right eye, and then made off, and thotigh pursued, escaped all search. The poor woman being carried to the Western Dispensary ; had her wound dressed ; it was not so great as was at first apprehended, as the bayonet slanted along the bone of the forehead. ijt,thkEkii/Eii, §E - ,q - I6A, b . cf: I.th LENSINGTON .7.1. kitting OF 3f: MARGARET: This was an appeal by the latter parish against order of t‘vo Justices, - adjudging• a raupet4 of th naitut of Reynolds,. his wite; and t,t . vo, Children; td be settkd in Sr. Margaret's. . Mr. Con-r, for the Appeal, r,:ti 1, lie shotild apa ply - for its adjOtirned on - account of the singu:.. tar circumstances attending it. The patiper, kcy noids, it was true; about 46 years ago Tented twd hotves in Kensington Parish. But trim that time until lately, when he applied for s t - did - , he had ne:: ver been heard of hr them. Reynolds, the pauper, was the natural i-n of a weochainker at Kensingtor, and Was brought up by his reputed father. Before he was out of his time he married a young woman of some property, and bet .up in business. It 'was at that time lie rented. the two houses in Kensing - on parish.—He,, however, shortly deserted his wife, aid went dr with another woman. Mrs. Rjnolds continued living in the parish 'mrny xears, and at her death was ( ne of the petiempeners t o the church, Wh e O he lately made his application for relief, some of the Parishioners recolleded the circumstanct-s, and male inquiry into the time of his latter in trtiage, which they found to be some months previous to the dea!h of the real Mrs. Reynolds. He had sworn that he had married this wonian, though they suspefted much to the contrary ; It - lvever, as she was clearly riot settled with,them, they reritsed to support her and the children: The Pauper !hen made this proposal, that they should give her 155; to enable her to get back to the place - tif her real settleffient, and as lie eotild maintain himself he ~,?led no farther . relief.: They aceordingly ,gave hint the sum he asked ; hut instead of getting rid of him, the parish w as much surprized to find the whose family shortly after brotight bade under an order of removal. The pauper then told them, that however the questim of his wife's settlement might have been when he was last with them, there was at present an end of it, for that he had used the 'Money they gave him to pay fora new marriage, and - that his ti.ite was now unquestionably settled where hd was. The Parish, suspeling he must have gained Some other settlement during an absence of forty years from their Parish, instituted an inquiry into tile progress of this enan's life. They fOund that he had wandered all 6%er England and Wales ; that he had at different times supported the various' chit rafters of .player, parson, soldier, man of fashion, and trader. :That helhad mat rigid Aix wives, and they vehemently suspected a seventh. At Lough. borough, in Leicestershire,, he in irried a young Lady of soirre . -Property ; hut it seemed his chief ob jea in marrying her was to get the guardianship of her brother, and his fortune, which was much more considerable. He did not succeed, however, in that plan, and svhen he had squandered what he rained he decamped. At. Bristol be married again, under the name of Sir Harry Davis. In anOthee part of England lie married in the name of Sir Harry Reynolds; but, being accict'entally di coveted by -some persons Who kne'w him. as Sir' Hatry riS i was detefted, and obliged to get off. Ile accord: ingly decamped, and took refuge at the Bull _lnn, at Bedford, and very slit)i-iy in,truied his hostess. whom he as shortly redueed.to pOverty. I fere again he was discovered, but to ei; fiso i e hi s w it e , h e as; sUred her she was but eme of six in the same condi tion. This was the witness, Mr. CoNst said, upon whose testi.eony atone at present they could prove, a settlement. But as he knew what made a legal settlement as well as any f them, and had declared that he would answer no illegal questions, he hoped the Court would adjourn this appeal, to give the parish an opportunity of discovering whether there were not some subsequent settleniente‘ : The pauper desired the attention of the Court to a few words--Whatever, lie said, might have been, the irregularities of his former life, it was not a love of justice is bids had induced the parish to ex,pce them, but because be bad deteatd and pub_ fished the ead-praftices of their work-house. In his deportment and manners he appeared to possess great ease k tie was-grey-hea&d, with countenance rather singular, but of, a marked ex:. pression.—The appeal was adjourned. APPRENTICES. A Petition was presented and 'read from a lad named Beard, an Apdrentice, which prayed that he might be discharged from the service of Mrs. Gun. ter, and that part of the money paid with him when he was bound might be returned. This lad had covenanted with Mr. James Gunter, of Bond street, to serve him for five ye.ar., on clnd tion that he learnt him his busincSs. IJe had setwci with him about six months, when Mr. Gunter died he had, however, remained with the widow since that rime, which is abon: eighteen m The ground upon vhich he prayed to be discharged was, that.thc covenant was entered into with Mr. Gan ter only, and that consequently he was entitled to be discharged, as, by the decease of Mr. Gunter ) the same was void. The Learned Counsel, in support of the Fetition, cited a case where the opinion of ehe Court clKing's Bench was decidedly in firoar of this application,. There was also a case in MSS. zo Geo. HI. B.ix ter.v. Burfield, in which the decision is the s:nne. On the other side, the Counsel for Mrs; Gamer contended, that he was not entitled to his dis charge, as the indenture of apprenticeship cove anted that the Executors, Administrators, and As signs should see the terms of it carried in:o and, conseguently, that he bound himself to serve out the five years. The Court observed, that this was merely a secu rity on both parts that the terms of the coven mt should be abided bye but that it was clear in law that the covenant ceased at the time of Mr. Gun., tcr's death, of course the lad Was at liberty to leave his service, With .tespeft to the return of part of the premium, they could not interfere.
