BASLE, Ocr. 31.—For several clays the French Troops have been continually passing through this City, composing a part of-the Army destined to encamp near Huninguen. General RAP? has direaled their march ; they are arrived in considerable numbers at Zurich, where there exist violent oppo sition and animoSities between the inhabitants of the City and those of the Country, and where it is reported there have been some very severe and bloody adions. The two battalions of the 16th Demi-brigade in garrison at Basle, have likewise _been put in motion, and are relieved by .the Both Demi-brigade. The Troops which form the Gar rison of Berne are French, who have put it out of the reach of being surprised. There is only one part of the Confederate Troops retired to their homes ; the rest is posted, by order of The Diet of Schquitz, behind the Reuss, for the purpose, as it is expressed, " of putting a stop to the influence of the Helvetic Government on the other.side of that line, and to maintain order and tranquillity." By means of this position, the Cantons of Lucerne, Baden, Zug, and the little Cantons, find them_ selves under the authority of the Diet of Schwitz, which continues its Sittings, and, as it further declares, is occupied, without ceasing, in preparing to publish a Declaration of the. means of assuring the Confederate States of their right to form a ConstitutiOn for themselves. It is said that the Insurgents have more than 300 pieces of cannon, which they have taken from the different Arsenals of Switzerland. But as the French Troops ad vance on all sides towards the Frontier of the little Cantons, it is easy to foresee that the exist ence of this Party cannot be long, and the f t a: resist ance will not even be thought or. A Society is said .to have been established some months since at Lyons, with the title of " Fathers of the Faith of Jesus," which d er iv e d i ts origi n from Germany, and recognized for its Chief, the Father B.ACCANAR I, from whence its Members were called Bacca:larists. They adopted in every resped the institution of the Jesuits, and had amongst them several men who belonged to that celebrated older. The society is stated to have been lately suppressed by order of Government. The ELECTOR of BAVARIA has ordered an ex traordinary Contribution to be levied, on all the Regular and Secular Clergy of his States.

HActi P., Nov. .—The Commissaries who were appointed at Amsterdam to make examinations for property liable to contribution, unanimously re fused to undertake that office. The Administration of the Commune then appointed others, to the number of it+, but they almost all absented them selves from the City ; those who remained de clared formally, that the Commission with which it was proposed to charge them, was repugnant to their Principles, and inconsistent with their Honour, and that nothing could induce them to ac cept it. They added, that they considered it as impossible, in such a City as Amsterdam, to make such examinations, and that, even if it were, it would he as injurious to Commercial Credit in gene ral, as it would be to each private Merchant. e rran6• „ e have ie rot and left a large off 11 1 an olu )cking g i w hich cut in the 3 P' !r, brit body If from g rew buried set oil sure 0 7hich it t here' b o oty'; ted fot lYst a' dista rc mit' IIC TEED , cnociC' bu t Ft, ie VII 1, an° ,ted wyand w ith down. , earth, )mmod.

A few days ago, Mr. Wild, proprietor of an Ex. hibition, had the misfortune to lose a horse. at the Blue Bell Inn, at Worksop, of twentr.fiVe guineas value, by giving him a ball which had been pre pared by some empiric, pretending to a knowledge of farriery, and recommended by him as an urinary ball. A second had nearly shared the same fate, but the assistance of a skilful farrier being called in, it was saved. The horse that died having been re. moved into a field near the town, for the purpose of skinning it, the entrails were incautiously left above ground ; three pigs which eat thereof also died im mediately after. It appeared that these animals had been poisoned by the quantity of mercury contained in the balls. On Sunday last, at Bartley Lodge, Hmpshire, the Lady of CHARLES LYELL, Esq. was safely deliver. ed of a Daughter. • Yesterday, about twelve o'clock at noon, a girl about seven years old, crossing Fish.street.hill, near the Monument, was thrown down by a dray, one of the wheels of which going over her, she was killed on the spot. Yesterday morning, about half past eleven o'clock, a dreadful fire broke out at a Carpenter's yard, in Leatber.lane, Holborn, which communicated to seve. ral houses adjoining, and did considerable damage before it was got under. • RLFORi'" ()!..Yrtt OF KING's BENCII i tiov. li. Mr. 0.--IRRoW moved for a I's/land:anus to be di_ rested to the Mayor of the Borough of Harwich, commanding hith to issue big Summons to the Bur gesses of that Borough, calling on them to meet for the purpose of eleCting a person to the office of a Capital Burgess, in the room of one who is dead. This Motion was made upon an affidavit, stating the constitution of the Borough, which required that the vacancy occasioned by the death of a Capital Burgess should be supplied by the eleCtion of other; that this was to be done by the election of the other Burgesses, &c. That applications had been made to the Mayor, but that he had declined to call the Meeting, &c.—Mandamits granted. Mr. Gaitaow said, he had to move the Court a second time in the Cause of Duncan against Reeves, which he had mentioned on a former occasion, and ; by the kindness of the Court,. he had been put in a train of proceeding on behalf of the Defendant. The Court had been kind enough to intimate that upon the produaion of the key of the Defendant's Lodgings, delivering up the articles for which the Defendant was arrested in Troyer, a Rule should be granted calling on the Plaintiff td shew Cause why the Defendant should not be dischafged on filing Common Bail a but this course could not be taken, for the Defendant had not the possession of any key of any such Lodging, nor did he possess any of the articles for the conversion of which the Defend ant had been arrested for sool. but he had now an opportunity of bringing the parties in this busi ness before the Court for its animadversion. This Case, the Court would recoiled, arose out of an ac cusation made by the Plaintiff against the Defend ant, who then lodged with him, of having picked his pocket of his pocket-hook, which tharge the Plaintiffafterwards abandoned, and declared it was a mistake, for lie had found his pocket-book after wards in a corner of his pocket. This led the present Defendant to bring an Action against the present Plaintiff for a malicious prosecution in that Case, and which he did for the vindication of his Charac ter, fir he could not have continued his situation at the Theatre, if he had .not so vindicated his charafter ; but it was that vindication only he wanted, and he consented to put an end to that Aftion, provided the then Defendant paid the cost, and also made an apology for having made the false accusation, upon which Mr. Duncan :ailed tn his Couosellor (Mr. Deb lin as we heard it) the Sheriff's Officer. The result cf the consultation was, that. Mr. Duncan would not make an apology for this false charge, and said he would bedamned if he would make anY apology ; it was then said that the Cause must go on, upon which Mr. Duncan said, " he would have him," (meaning the Defendant Reeves) another way, and so he arrested him in 5001. for Troyer, as had been already stated. After serving notice of Bail, application was made for particulars of the Plaintiff's demand, to this Sheriff's Officer, who said, that the Attorney in the Cause was Mr. J. IL Wilkinson, who had resided at No. is, Gray's_lnn_square, but who had remov ed ro No. c, in the same Square. On application at ihe Chambers of this Gentleman, it was said that he had no concern whatever•in this Cause, that he .arrived at Dover on the 3d of November inst. and came to Town on the ch, and knew nothing what. ever of any susa;i Cause, and all his Clerks disclaim ed all knowledge of the Cause also. Mr. GAR- Row then repeated what the tiheriff's Officer said on application to him about this arrest, " that if a Man chased to say that a Desk was worth 'cool. the Defendant must give Bail to it, or remain in Prison."—Under these circumstances, he now mov ed for a Rule to shew Cause, why all proceedings should not be ,staid in this Aaion, why the parties, Plaintiff, &c. should not pay the Costs of this Ap plication, and why they should not answer the mat ters of the Affidavit ? The Court asked what the Plaintiffin this Ac tion was ? the Defendant must know him, since he lodged with him. The Plaintiff was said to be a Mopseller, in Wild-street. The Court then said, that at present the Applica tion against the Sheriff's Officer was premature, and that 'it was not the course to go to any At torney whom he named, that Application should be made to the Plaintiff, to know from him, who his Attorney was, and afterwards application might be made to the Court upon' the circumstances which might then appear. Here the matter rests for the present. AWARDS. Upon the discussion of a Motion' for setting aside an Award, on the ground that it appeared on the face of it, the Arbitrator had mistaken the Law ; it appeared that this was an Action brought, for that the Defendant's vessel ran against the ves sel of the Plaintiff, and occasionsd a certain da mage, and the Arbitrator assigned reasons for his Award, and had observed, "that where the parties were equally to blame, as they were in his opinion, in this Case, or, what was much the same thing, in his opinion, where neither of them was to blame, the loss ought to be divided between them, and fOr these reasons, he awarded that the loss should he di vided between the parties, and therefore he ordered that the Plaintiff should pay to the Defendant 391. which was half the amount of the loss, and' that each Party should pay his own Costs." The Court observed, that at all events, this Award was wrong ; since it plainly appeared that the Arbitrator professed his intention to be guided by the rules of law, which law he had manifestly mista ken, so. that he had done vrong, even according to his own ideas upon the subject'; his idea being to decide by the rules of Law, and he decided adually ,against such Rules, for which reason, the Rule for setting the Award aside, should be made absolute. Rule absolute. Mr. Justice LE BLANC sat at Nisi Prius about one o'clock, but nothing occurred but undefended Causes.

CIIAAGE OF MURDER. ,Edward (egy and Joseph Davii were in dieted for the murder of a Female Negro Slave, name on, known, by throwing her over the side of the Shiii Sarah, upon the High Seas; on the 6th of January; rSoz, about eighty:.three leagues off the Island of Jamaica. His Majesty's Advocate General (Dr. N./client.) addressed the Jury on behalf of the Prosecution, serving, that the Crime of Murder, with which the two Prisoners stood charged, was of so deep and heinous a nature, as to demand the Most serious; dispassionate, and deliberate investigation. The ship Sarah, he said, had been engaged in the Afri..' can Slave Trade, and the offence was for the Murder of a Female Slave. The Prisoners being themselves Officers on board the Ship, would, in case the faa should be proved, be an addition to the atrocity of the deed, in destroying the property of those who employed them to proteta it. The humane and . sa. lutary Ad of Parliament, by which the Trade tvaa regulated, enjoined each Ship should be limited in the number of Slaves to be carried, _in proportion to the tonnage. From this it was manifest that considerable number of Slaves usually died upon the passage, and it was the interest of those concerned in the trade to take on board a greater number than the law allowed, on. the Coast of Africa, where no inquiries took place, so that when they arrived at the place of 'examination in the West Indies, they should be able to re-place such as might perish in the passage. But as the AEI also imposed consider- ' able penalties on their exceeding the allowed num ber, the consequence, sometimes, might be the evasion of this provision, either by secreting the surplus, or destroying such as could not be conceal.; ed, or such as were most sickly, and least profitable for the Marker. ' It was not necessary to urge much that a case of this kind ought to be sifted to the bot.: tom, in order that justice might be fairly and truly administered. He was ready to confess, that the two Witnesseg in support of the Prosecution, were of a low de scription of Mariners, and that persons of that de.: scription might, at times, be tempted, from pique, or malice, to aggravate circumstances. Thereforei it became Juries to receive their testimonies with caution, but not to be so far prejudiced by sugges tions, or ingenious eross-examination, as not to give them such weight as they deserved. He then briefly stated the outline of the Evidence, which, if true, would aggravate the foul and atrocious crime ; but which, if they disbelieved, it would be their duty to acquit the Prisoners. Thos. Lee (examined by the ATTORNEY GEtft- RAI.) deposed, that he was an American, and em ployed as Cook on board the Sarah, when she sailed from Liverpool to the coast of Africa, afterwards to Jamaica, and finally to Liverpool to be paid off. In their passage to Jamaica, he saw three live slaves; thrown overboard, two men and one woman. " The woman was observed to he sick a day or two before, and he heard Kelly, who was the Second Mate of the Ship, say to Davis, who was, Dodor, that he did not believe she could live, and that it would be' better to heave her over. 'There were severala others present at the time. He does not knower ho brought her up, but in the morning about eight o'clock, he sax her sitting on one side of the deck, when the two Prisoners both came up to her and hove her overboard at the shoot. The woman resisted faintly, and held by the side of the main-deck while they were throwing her over. There was a ship in sight at the time, which Kelly said he believed to be an English Cruizer„. which might overhaul them. Cross-examined by Mr. ERSKINE.—Though him self a black (which he was literally), he did not feel hurt at the proceeding ; but lie thought it wicked, and knew it was punishable by law. Eight or nine slaves died in the course of the passage. He did not believe that either the Captain or the First Mate, who were good men, knew any thing about it, or were concerned in it. The crew consisted of about eo mariners, a great number of whom were present at the time of the transaction. The, wo man made no great noise, though she knew they were throwing her over, nor did he attempt to help her, fearing they would do the same to himself. He did not call the Captain, nor speak of it to any of the Officers, though he had no reason to suppose they would give countenance to it. Graham was there, but did not interfere. He did not men. tion it to any one till he came to Liverpool, neither did any of the other men speak to him about it. He afterwards went with Captain Roberts in the Bacchus to the West Indies, and told him and others in the ship, that the Officers in the Sarah were very bad, but never gave them a goad charac ter, nor, said he should like to sail with them again. He did not tell them of the slaves being thrown over, nor speak of it to any other person till Gra ham came to England. Thomas Graham (examined by the SOLICITOR . GENERAL) swore that he was a mariner on boar 4 the Sarah, in which he sailed from Liverpool for the Coast of Africa, and thence to Kingston in Ja maica. He did not know the number of slaves they ha•l on board, but several of them died in the pas.. sage, in his opinion about nine. On coming to wards the harbour of Kingston, a vessel came in sight, 'which Kelly said was an Onglish cruizer, and would overhaul them. After this he saw him and Davis bring up three slaves, two men and one woman, and threw them over board: They took the woman by the hand and leg 'and hove het over headlong through the shoot. Kelly brought her from the lower to the main deck, but he did not know that she resisted, for she could not tell what they were going to do with her. He was at the distance of t z yards or so from the soot. Ed wards, a sailor, since dead, was with him, but be did not know whether he was present. The slaves were mustered at Kingston, but he did not know i their number, nor did he hear, while he remained ite E. gr. ot , 14 asap, , ne vi ne thi 9 bee / eroai M a c• inchi antot h i e vier' rec.! rhale envy 1 the Nirt frol° ro ch a(c" 1 01 the soi rl fire igh t fevi
