In a Treaty signed at Paris on the r9tho f Au gust 5798, between Citizen TALLEYRAND, on the part of the French Government, and. Messrs.

HAGUE, Nov. i3.--'There has lately been pre sented to the Government, an Address signed by fifty Merchants of Amsterdam, requesting that the Law of the 26th of February last, by which the Importation of the Woollen ManufaBures of England and other Foreign Countrie.s is prohibited, should rot be carried into execution.—This Law was to take efreet the beginning of next year, but the IVierchants state, that it would in its operation be very Prejudicial to Commerce.—The Government bas not y et alven any answer to this Address. N ov . 7 . —The French Ambassador, Citizen C HAmPAoNy, has had a long Conference with the GRAND DUKE of TUSCANY, , the result of whic h aPpeated to give reciprocal satisfatlion. The Archbishop of AREZZo, who is going to Peters 61'0 as Apostolic Nuncio, has arrived here, ex l'aing to find the necessary Passports which he had requested from the Court of Petersburgh ; but it is Zaid that he will not receive tbem until all the dif. ferences ate settled which have arisen respeding tile choice of Grand Master of Malta. rRANKion.T, Nov. I s.—We are assured that the Deputation of the Empire, before it terminates 4 ts , ...Srttings, will be occupied with a new division or Germany, and some changes in the organization of the Diet. The number of Circles will be reduced to eight, namely, Austria, Franconia, the Rhine, W estphalia, Bavaria, and Loiver and Higher 44 x.ony. The direftion of the Circle of Bava tia is to be confided to the ELECTOR of BAVARIA exclusively, in the same manner as that of Austria to the E MPEROR. Each of the other Circles is to have 771. E CRERA. Wen has been said in several. uninrOrmed Pa pers relative to VESTR s's engagement at the Opera. The fart is, we believe, that VESTRIS considers himself as engaged at the Opera of London, but that he will not be able to obtain leave from the FIRST CONSUL, who attaches a very considerable interest to this Dancer's residence at Paris, in consequence of Des HAYES having quitted the Opera of that City entirely. VESTRIS was to have been accom panied to this Kingdom by Mid. CHA:qzßoi, as a partner for himselt : this Dancer was considered by judges of the art, as the most finished Performer of the present epoch ; her ,beauty and '.elegance of aaion were themes of admiration with her compa nions. Her illness at the time of the negotiation with VESTRIS ,threw some delays in sighing the en_ gagement. It may be remembeted, that this elegant female was carried off by an untimely death at the age of twenty-three, in consequence of the fatigues and cold caught at Bourdeaux after lying in. The circumstance of her corpse being denied the rites of burial at Paris, is sufficiently notorious to render repetition unnecessary. Signora GE RE I NI is the new Bulfa at the Opera ; but being a tall personable figure, will probably make her debut as a Soprano to accompany Mrs. BILLINCTON, as her voice is said to be powerful, and her knowledge of music great : the union of such talents has already excited a considerable de gree of interest with the Public. Signora GoLINI, a Neapolitan Buffo Cari:ato i of considerable celebrity, is to add to the strength of the Comid Opera this year. THE TiIEATEE. Drur . y-Laae. The Beaux Stratagem was repeated last night at this Theatre, but had by no means so large an Audience as might be expected, considering the merits of the Comedy, and the talents employed in it. Dwyrß is such a bustling, wive Performer, that when he is not exaCtiy charaeteristic, he is sure to be entertaining ; and if his Archer was not critically right, it was in point of effeCt, the chief prop of the Piece. Mrs. JORDAN was rather more easy in Mrs. Sullen. The charaCter is certainly not quite in unison with her general manners, but she is intitled to commendation for displaying so much ability in a part that differs widely from the province in which her excellence chiefly consists. In xonsequence of the indisposition of BAN NINTER, the part of Scrub was performed by DowToN, with much humour and without any ex travagance.. CHERRY is still a little too coarse in. Foigtzrd ; but he is a good Aftor, and is evidently rising in popular favour. • - As the Mors are at all times very much disposed to take liberties with the Dialogue, it would he sometimes better if those liberties appeared in fe trenchment rather than interpolation, at least in this Comedy, which, though a very good one, con tains many licentious passages, that ought not to shock the nit', taste of these delicate times. CowNs, the new Comic Performer, is engaged at an advancing salary for three years at Drury. Lane Theatre. He has hardly any of that grimace which generally accompanies Country Aaors. BANNISTER'S present indisposition is the Gout, which, it is raid, he has rendered worse by resort ing to the remedies of Empiricism. The Haymarket Theatre, it is reported, will nest season be under the direaion of a Gentleman from Bath. SALOMON, who is an excellent Performer, has re linquished his cunt eEtion with the Opera - House, and will most probably.be the Chief Leader in all the private Concerts through the ensuing musical SCAM. Since the last accounts from Surinam, a consider able number of Attornies have determined to embark for that Colony. It is said that Government have been advised of such an intention, andfhave taken the proper steps to prevent so alarming an emi gration, The Courier de Londres of last night, gives the following statement relative, to the Death of Made_ tnoiselle CHAm Rol : This fascina ring Dancer had attraeled the tender regards of M. Euo ENE BEAU HARNOIS. The Consul being informed of the con nexion, caused Mademoiselle CHAmEitor to be ac quainted that she must no longer receive her young lover. She obeyed, and informed M. DE BEAU. HARNOIS of the motive. The latter, after a separa tion of six weeks, risqued a visit : Mademoiselle Dt CHAMEROI had just made him a father. BONA. PARTE'S Spies gave him intelligence of this visit, .and an order was immediately issued to arrest the ob. jest of it. The sight of the Agents of Police so ter rified M. DE CHAMEROI, that she died a few hours after. The vacancy occasioned in the Police by the death of Mr. SCOTT, of Marlborough -street, is at length understood to be supplied by the appointment of Mr. FOLEY, Clerk of the Crown on the Caer marthen Circuit. The new Magistrate, it is said, will take his seat at Shadwell Office, whence Mr: PHILLIPS removes to Oueen_square, to replace Mr. BRODIE, who 'succeeds Mr. SCOTT in Marl borough-street. Yesterday Wm. Buntin and Elizabeth Buntin, the persons in custody, from Ashbourn, Detbyshite, on suspicion of having been guilty of the wilful murder of Mr. STEEL, were.broughr uplor re-exa mination at the Public-office, Bow -street ; when it appearing, from the inquiries made, 'that the ac count given by the Prisoners was corred, they were discharged ; and , Mr. BOND ordered three guineas to be given them, as a recompense for the inconveni ence they had suffered; and a travelling pass to take them to Liverpool, in which the circumstance of their apprehension and discharge was, stated, in or der to save them from any further interruption on the road. After which, some Gentlemen - present made a subscription for the Prisoners, amounting to nearly thirty shillings. GIBRyILT,IR, Nov. 3, YESTERDAY being Anniversary Of His Royal Highness the DuKE of .17.:CNT'S Birth-dos', it Was celebrated with uncommon dem. - mstratlons of j o y by all ranks of people here. Numerous entertaiom ments were given on the occasion, and in the even ' ing th e whole town was illuminated, with a degree of splendour never before remembered, every in.. dividual seeming to vie in their endeavours to ma. nifest their affection for a Prince under whose mild government and fostering hand this place bids fair to- attain a degree of prosperity superior to any thing it has ever hitherto experienced. The conduct of His Royal Highness since his arrival among us, has been marked With great j 9 dg-_ ment, moderation, and integrity ; and on means could have been adored so likely to contribute to the welfare'of the town, as the Measures pursued by him. Every inhabitant, whilst obedient to the Laws, now enjoys all the freedom and proted.ion he could wish, and is subjed to no constraints but such as are unavoidable in every Garrison Town. Passports to travel into Spain-or Barbary, either for business or pleasure, can at all times be obtain ed, signed by His Royal Highness himself, withoUt delay, or without any fees of office being taken, as Was the custom formerly. The Trade of the place has been freed from all restraints, and wisely left to its own natural chan nel, as the most likely means or omoting its in- ' crease. Permits for landing tpping goods are indeed required, to ascertain t to annual amount of, the exports and imports, but they can always.be had gratis, at the Secretary's Office, the instant they are applied for. The beneficial consequences of His Royal High ness's Government have already strongly manifest ed themselves in an astonishing increase in the w t .. lue of anded property, and the avidity with which people from all quarters solicit permission to settle here ; and such arc the happy effects of a free Go vernment, when administered with justice, that on all this barren rock there is not a foot of ground in the town fit to, build upon, that does not bear at least double the price the same quantity of ground would sell for in the neighbourhood of Grosvenor square. DUBLIN. RECORDER's COURT, Nov. 36. THE following persons were this day tried and foun l l guilty, viz. Thomas Gavuor, 7sseph Russell, 7. White, C. Reed, SimOn Kearne s , Chrisi. Russell, ..7ohn Barry, and Isaac !Tit kinson, journeymen cork cutters, for combination to raise their wages, on the 23a of September last. ' Russell, as a foreman, earning from 21. to 31. a week, for persuading and conspiring with the others to the crime of which they were found guilty—to be whipped from Newgate to the Royal Exchange on Saturday next, with a'labeL placed on him, de noting his offence, confined six months, and not to be released until he pays a fine of zo merks, and find sureties for future good behaviour, himself in sol. and two sureties in 2,1. each. Simon Kearney, the•ringleader journeyman, to be whipped and imprisoned in the same manner, fined zo merks, and give security in half the above sum for future good behaviour. The other journeymen to be confined for the same space of time, and fined five merks each. One, as representative of his fellow culprits, ad. dressed the Court in mitigation of punishment, pleading that they had among them zz children, and five of their wives ready to lie in. The Court observed on the peculiar wantonness of their condua—men earning from five to six shillings a daY, and setting up an unwarrantable justification.—Combinations, the Recorder said, must be put down, and the next culprits would meet with much'more exemplary punishment. This morning, about nine o'clock, IVlTran C od convkled at the last Admiralty Sessions of wilfully sinking the Brig Adventure, with intent to defraud the Underwriters, was taken from New: gate to Execution Dock, and there hung pursuant to his Sentence. A case occurred about fifty years ago, parallel to that of Ca hag. Easterky, and 111'Farlane. A' Mr. BENSON, who was a Ship-owner, and in Parliament, prevailed on a poor relation, who was totally depend, ent upon him, to take in a cargo, chiefly consisting of tin, which he landed on the desert isle of Lundy, in the Bristol Channel, and brought away by vessels em ployed for that' purpose. BENSON'4; vessel was then laden with stones, and .sunk in deep water ; and the insurance recovered on the ship and cargo. But some of the crew, not thinking themselves suffici ently remunerated, impeached the Captain and the Owner : the former was convicted, and executed, and the latter punished by a heavy fine, and expulsion from his seat in the House of Commons. A Gentleman who came Passenger by the Lei. tester Packet (arrived at Falmouth a few days since) has furnished us with the following account of a melancholy accident. On Sunday- 24th ult. about midnight, a fire broke out in the dwelling house of Mr. JOHN LAWLER, at 'Fort Sack\ille, ten miles from Halifax (Nova Scotia), which entirely consumed the same, with barns, outhou,es; &re. It was first discovered by one of Mr. LAwt. ER's daughters, being awoke by the smoke in her room, on which she ini mediately alarmed the family, consisting of Mrs. LAWLER, Sister, a Miss WATSON, and a Black servant man, who had but just time to escape through a window ; five other persons, lodgers in another part of the building, unfOrtunately perished in the flames, .although apprized of their danger by the servant, Who undauntedly ventured into the house in the midst of the flames, for that purpose ; but supposes, in the smoke and confusion, they could not find - the Way out. All the property on the premises was consumed. The names of the unfor. tunare suErers are, Mr: JOHN BLAKE, of Halifax, Mr. EnwARDM‘GaITIi; Mr. JOHN HARRIS and wife, and PE - rEa BRAtr, late a Soldier in the 7th Regiment of Foot. Mr. LAWLER was not at home at the time, being at Halifax on business. DAVID, the French Painter,' is occupied with a Pi&ure representing the Defence of Thermopylae by LgortyM, and his three hundred Spartans, LAT REPORT. COURT OF KING's Nat - . 2G. MR. REFDER moved for a Mandamus to he di_ retied to the Aldermen of the Borough of East Retforti, commanding them to proceed to the Elee. Lion of five Aldermen, stating the - Constitution - of the Borough, and that application seas made to them in vain, to do so : that : . :ye of the Aldermen were dead, -and that unless there are others chosen, the Constitution of the Borough will be dissolved. Motion granted. On a Question, in which a Party had been served with a Notice of a Tr.:.cc'edir, in the Court on a Sunday, it w;ls cr;ntel-rl.td,.tnat - the Party had waved his objedion to dim irrg - talarity, by having ac quiesced in some subselue,:t Procedin . gs. On the other side it'Was maintained that the' 0b... jedion was valid. Mr. Justice LAwar rqc E read a case from a iViiintt. script' Note, in which' it had been held, in the Court ofCommon Pleat, that a Service Ora P r oc ess upon Contempt, had been waved by the Party, by assenting to subsequent Proceedings, without muk. ing objection in the first instance. But there was a subsequent case in the Court of King's Bench, in which it was held otherwise'. Lord ELLENnonoucu.,—" And the last deter mination appears to me to be the better of the two, fur the policy of the Law is, that Simday Shall not be considered as an ordinary day, but that it `is to be. dedicated to 'the purposes of Religion ; and that no party shall be permitted to consider % . vliethet he will - set aside this objeaion by waving it, ot not." The Service, was, therefore, held to be irregtilat: THE KIN° rq. MAY AND OTHERS. Mr. JEKYLL moved, that these fire Defendants, who were brought up by Habeas Corpus, together with a Certiorari, and return of the Proceedings had against the Defendants, by the Magistrates by whom they were committed, should be brought into Court, for the purpose of being bailed, on the ground th a t the Commitment was illegal,it being only ;herein stated, that they had administered and aided, and assisted at administering, to one Thomas Bailey, an Oath, contrary to theform of the Statute, &c. -Mr. Gls B s adMitted the ComMitment to be ille gal, on the ground of objcdion taken to but contended, that the Defendants were not entitled to their discharge, .because, ,it would appear to 'the Court, upon reading the depositions taken before the Magistrates who committed them, that a. sufficient charge had been exhibited against them, and that they ought to have been committed ; 'that it had been held, that if a Parry moved to be dis, changed on Vail, on the ground that the commit meat was deled.ive poinn of law, the Court would supply that defer` . in like Manner as if the case came before them in 'the first instance, and te : mand the Party' to prison, provided it appeared, by the depositions, that a a sufficient charge was made out against the Party to a sat rant or commitment. Such he maintained to this case, and that the question, therefore, was for the Court to consider, in its discretion, noon a 'disclosure of the fanl'ts, whether the Pelendants ought to be bailed or . not This Dodrine was instantly assented to by the Court as a decided point, therefore the deposi tions were read by which it appeared, amongst other things, that Thomas Bailey laid information against all the Defendants, for that they held a meeting at the Cross-keys at Trowbridge, in the County of Wilts, where there was a Committee of Cloth-workers, called Shearmen, and where they administered to him, against his will, and on peril, a s he apprehended, of his life, an oath as follows : You shall be true to the Journeymen Shearmen, and not to hurt any of them. You shall not di vulge any of their secrets ; so help you God." That a regular Committee was held at this place, as well as other places, for the purpose of keeping up this Combination, in Yorkshire and other places, and that they were about to be established in the West of England ; that one of the Community, as they were called, came to a Master Clothier, stating, that he came from the Workmen to con verse on the subjeft of their returning to their work, &c. and that such messenger from this Community,. told the master to be calm in the answer, fbr that he, the messenger, must state it to the Committee, Seci. t This statement was -con firmed by the depoSitiows of the master of the Trade, and also by that of . his son. On the other side it was deposed by the De fendants, That they' held no Committee or Com munity whatever fur the purpose of administering any oath to any body ; that they all met at the Cross-keys, at Trowbridge, merely for refresh ment, in an open room ; that it had been the cus tom of some masters to pay their journeymen in bad 'Cloth instead of money, and that those who took such cloth in payment, instead of money; 35 wages, were scouted by the rest ; that this man (Bailey) came into the rdom where the Defendants and others, were ,sitting, thac in he was accused of having taken cloth instead of money for wages ; that on being so accused he confesSed, and then took up a book which happened to be lying on the table, and said he would swear never to do so again : that nobody desired him to do so, but that he did it of his own choice, alledging, that he did it in order to be 'restored to the esteem of the rest of the Trade there, who were journeymen •Shear men, &c. Mr. GIBBS contended that there was a specific charge made against the Defendants, for administer ing an unlawful oath to this man, that of swearing to submit to a power which had no legal authority, and swearing not to diVulge any of the secrets of such an unlawful ,combination and conspiracy of men, which was expressly prohibited by the Statute of the'37th of His present Majesty, c. 123. That this was enough to put them upon their trial at least; that the Court would not tty the merits of the case npOri Affidavits, but refer the whole of it to a Jury ; and that there was no just claim•on the part of the Defendants, in • this case, to the discretion of the Court, to. be admitted to bail ; but that the regular course would be to remand theM, and let the case remain as it now stood, until a jury shall pronounce
