Sir WILLIAM SCOTT proceeded to the adjudication of the following Cause : The Mary, ALEXANEER M‘Dos . A.Lo master.— This was a case of Salvage. It appeared that this Vessel was on shore on the night of the 26th of Dec. last, on Sandwich Flats, and that the Master and three of the Crew had left her to procure (as they pretended) assistance : she afterwards floated off the Flats, and was drifting close on Pegwell Rocks, when some Ramsgate Boatmen went to her asist ance, and got one man on board, and condutfted her safely into Ramsgate Harbour. It further ap_ peared, that a tender of 7o guineas had been made in an early stage of the cause to the Salvors, which was refused; and the Court, under all the circum stances "of the case, allowed the Salvors tool. and their expellees. 3C DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZE MONEY.

IN the Sitting of the Tribunate of the i sth inst. SAHVE made a report upon the mode of Recruiting the Army. " The Committee," he said, " had ac knowledged the necessity of raising 60,000 men, for the purpose of completing the Army, and of re placing those who have been dismissed :—.40,000 of the brave Defenders of their Country only wait for the Conscripts who are to replace them, in order to return to their homes. " It is to the composition of our Armies, toahe mode of recruiting it by Conscription, that you owe your power. Let us take care not to lose it. Your Committee are also convinced of the necessity of the formation of an Army of Reserve, and upon the means which have been proposed for its forma. tion." In the Sitting of the Legislative. Body, on the isth instant, RCED ER E It presented the Plan for the Establishment of the Legion of Honour. The Plan states, that this Legion is to be composed of a grand Council of Administration, and of fifteen Co. torts ; each Cohort is to have 200,000 livres a year, of national property, assigned to it. The grand Council of Administration is to be composed of seven great Officers, viz. The three Consuls and four other Members ; one to be appointed by the Senate, one by the Legislative Body, one by the Tribunate, and one by the Council of State. These Members are to retain, during their lives, the title of Great Officers. The Chief Consul is to be Pre sident of the Grand Council. Each Cohort is to consist of seven Great Officers, 20 Commandants, 3o Officers, and of 35 0 Legionaries. Every Chief Officer is to have 5000 livres, every Commandant 2000 livres, every Officer tOOO livres, and to every Soldier iso livres yearly. Every individual is to swear upon his honour, that he will devote himself to the service of the Republic. All persons who have received fusils, sabres, &c. of honour, are Members of the Legion. The Grand Council of Administration shall appoint the Members, 64 - c. BASLE, MAY 9th.—We are informed that a pro_ jet of a Constitution, similar for the -most part to the dispositions of that of the 29th of May, tBot, of which the 'rench Government had re commended the acceptance, is about to be adopted. It is confidently asserted, that it will unite, in the wisest manner, the principles of unity atld;,federa lism, and that it is entirely adapted so our man.: ners, our usage s , an d our customs. 'tie Central Government will be composed of one L'andamman, two Stadtholders, or Lieutenants, and several Mi. , nisters, of whom the Council of Government will he formed. There is to be a Senate, and a General Diet, the last to assemble very seldom. Each Canton is to have a Constitution for the regulation of its interior concerns, and Administrative Au thorities appointed by the people. The Central Government is to have a Prefeet -in each Canton, who is to preside in the Assemblies of the Ad ministrative Chambers, and who are to be appoint- ' ed by the. Landamman from amongst the Citizens of the Canton. cbizlz-EsToArtENcr: F7to:l P. 4 R 4' go Paris, t..ti . b Notwithstanding the •apprehensions which /illy be entertained, that the eleCting Bo NA i'ARTE Consul for Life, may lead to the establish rent of -Here ditary Right, and of course to a new Dynasty, the People of Faris sign the Lists which ate placed in every Department, without murmur or hesitation ,- --- the Measure seems to be adopted without disens_ sion, and with general good will—near is• there the smallest foundation, at present, for supposing that it will create any sort of uneasiness. The Consul has left -Paris for a few days, to en joy the pleasures of Malmaison, !whe're a private Theatre is established, and on Wednesday last was performed a Piece in which Madame L. BONAPARTE, the ci-devant Mademoiselle BE AUHARNOIS is said to have distinguished herself by her elegant style of affing. STERNE ridiculed the French for the importance they attached to trifling objeas, and for the gran_ deur of expression which they,frequently employ to explain very simple subjects ; but how would he be amused could he pay a visit to Paris at present, when large hand-bills are stuck at every corner of the Streets with Danger Eminent in great Capitals to aura& the attention of the passing multitude, and to acquaint them that Analeptic Chocolate (sold at Citizen --'s,) has been counterfeited, and may endanger their precious health ? Paris, 14th May The Amateurs of the Opera Comique Francais were greatly disappointed last night by an unfor tunate accident which happened to ELLEVION, the principal performer, who dislocated his arm near the time of opening the Theatre, and in conse quence, the first representation of a Piece entitled " The Two Sub-Lieutenants" was deferred, and the Theatre shut, Miss HELEN MARIA , WILLIAMS continues her Converraziones at Paris, in a great style--every other evening a number of Literati and distinguished Charaders meet in her Library, where tea and re freshments are presented from eight to eleven o'clock, and where the merits of Works newly offered to the Public are discussed—Authors re cite their introductory poems, or their jest d'espr;fs, and seem to augur from the reception their produc tions meet with amongst these chosen few, their future success with the 'Public. Miss WIL LIAMS professes herself of no political party ; and to judge from the heterogeneous mixture which she assembles, it seems but justice to believe her.--The constant visits of Kosc lUSKO, the famous Abbe GREGOIRE, and other Republican Chieftains, might induce a cursory observer to believe she was not much at tached to Monarchical principles, if the presence of an English Peer, Lord MOUNTCASHELL, of Lord KING, of many Neapolitan Nobles, and other Fo reigners of distinaion did not in some degree jus tify Miss WI LLlANts's assertion. Translation of a Hand-Bill distributed yesterday, 13th May, throughout Paris: "MY OPINION upon THE RECOMPENSE DUE TO BONAPARTE.--- " It is proposed to the French People to nominate BONAPARTE Consul for life; has the importance of the services which he has rendered us been well considered, and is this recompense sufficient ? Is it not the interest of every Frenchman to prevent the return of Revolutionary sufferings, to annihilate anarchy for ever, and to avoid, in future, the in trigues of those partisans who promote and excite ? When a State without Constitution is only governed by the caprices of its Kings, hereditary right may be dangerous ; but when a Government, equally wise and powerful, is organized, when a man, equally extraordinary and surprising, compels it to be respeded and esteemed, when the whole world unanimously acknowledges his rights to the Sovereign power, is not the right of inheritance necessary, and ought not the gratitude of the French to fix it in the family of their Hero ? In short, is not France upon recovering its ancient limits, sufficiently extensive to honour herself with the title of Em- Aire ? and where, in the pages of history, shall we find an Emperor sufficiently magnanimous to be compared with the Titus who governs her ? I sub mit these questions to my countrymen—they induce me to express my own wish.—l desire that the French people may proclaim NAPOLEON BONA. PARTE first Emperor of the Gauls, and fix in his family the hereditary power, upon re-establishing the Salic Law. (Signed) BONNFVILLE AYRAI., " Chief of Battalion of the 14th of the Line." P a ris the 22d Floreal, Year 10. A letter received from Paris by the last French Mail, says—" The Legislative Body and the Tribu_. nate have lost no time in inscribing their individual votes in favour of prolonging BONAPARTE'S Con. sulship for life. I- he only Member who voted against the proposal is CARNOT. After his signature to that effect, he wrote " ha-.'e signed my proscrip tion." His friends in the Tribunate in vain en_ deav'oured to prevail upon him to erase this addi tion. The example of CARNOT has been followed by only one other person in an official situation—a petty clerk at the Treasury," A Letter from the Hague, of the 13th inst. says, " The journey of the 11 :IRST CONSUL to Belgia seems now to be settled ; it being asserted, that or ders are arrived at Brussels for making the requisite places ready for the FIRST CONSUL and his Suite, as also for the Deputies of the Seven United Depart ments of Belgia, and of the four new ones of the left side of the Rhine, who are to repair thither next month. If report speaks true, BONAPARTE will continue there ten or twelve days. He will inspect the port of Antwerp." We have received a letter, signed Robert Fletcb,r, earnestly requesting us to contradict the report that than Gentleman had entered in t any pugilistic arrangement whatever, I; ', COURT OF KING's BENCH, iViONEWAY, 141017 s9O GA itito4 , Moved l'or leave to file a CrimFnal information against 'certain Inhabitants of the Cour. ty of Bucks, for 'not repairing a bridge, which was partly in that County, and partly in. the County, of Middlesex. A Bill of Indictment bad been pre ferred against the Inhabi,„nts of t'le Co inty of Middlesex for this very purpose, and the. Bill was found. An Indiftment had been preferred against those of the County of Bucks, but that Bill had not been found ; they had indeed found. it was a true Bill against the County of Middlesex, although it was stated in the Affidavit, that the evidence was the same against the one side as against the other of the two Counties. lie said, that this was done to save time, lest the bridge should fail, it being at present dangerous to travel over it. AW REPO The Court observed, that a Grand fury of the County having not found the Bill vo7z Nue' , whyi it was indeed within the competence, but not with in the sound exercise of the discretion of the Court, to grant. this information at present. It would be presented at the Assizes.—Rule refused. Mr. GIBBS moved for leave to file a Criminal Information against a person of the name of _Wil liam Gard, and the ground of t:lis application wits; that this person had offered a bribe, not to one two persons, but to a community of persons, that Was to say, to five out of nine, being the majority "of the Eldlors of a Borough in the West of Eng- • land, for the purpose of securing a return of a cur.. Lain candidate at the next general ed - tion for that Borough. Bossiney, in Cornwall, had only nine Voters, and five of these lie had triad to prevail upon by corruption to return two Niezn!crs of his nomina tion at the General Eldlion. Mr. G. read the Affida vits of three of these Voters. The first deposed, that as he was one day, in the end of April, superintend ing his slate works, Mr. G-ard came to him, and asked if he had any rags (a species of slates) ? De_ ponent replied that he had. Said Gard, " 1 know a Gentleman who will give you a good price for them." —Deponent, " 1 arn happy to hear it."— Gard, "He will give you 30001. for a few, but you must give him your vote at the eldlion; get over fiur more, and he will give you a large sum to divide among you."—Deponent; ‘. There arc nine of us !"—Gard, "But five are a majority. The De ponent, whose name is Alvon, here broke off the con. ference with indignation. The second voter swore that Gard called upon him one .day, and demanded of him, whether he wished to noke his fortune " Yes," said he, " in an honest way." " Then," exclaimed Gard, " your fortune is made. You mint vote for the two candidates that I name, arid if you can get four more to join you, you shallhaye as much as will make you comfortable for life." This Gentleman sheaved equal virtue, and desired him to be gone. The third affidavit stated similar attempts, and Mr. Gibbs said he had similar evidences to the same purpose. Gard was a man in a low station, but was no doubt employed as the agent of some one of more consequence, and certainly ought not to be allowed to screen himself under his obscurity. Lord ELLENBOROUGH.---At such a time it would be highly improper to allow such proceedings to go unnoticed.—Take a Rule to shew cause. CORK.
