The Minister of War distributed the Colours to each Chief of Brigade, when the First Consul ad_ dressed them in the following words : " Soldiers of the Light Infantry of the French Army, behold your Colours. They will serve as,) our rallying point whenever the French People have Enemies to combat, to strike terror into those Enemies. " Soldiers, defend yoUr Colours i never let them fall into the hands of our Enemies; swear that you Will defend them at the risk of your lives." The Soldiers answered, " We swear."

In Egypt, the Beys have been r einforced, that they are enabled to fight the R AND VIZIER upon equal terms.

In Europe the danger is still more imminent. While PAssW OGLOU is advancing rapidly in Wallachia GIORGI , Osman Pacha, in order to cover his operations, oc cupies the environs of Adrianople with a numerous Corps, which is daily increasing. Under these circumstances, it is easy to imagine the embarrass ment of Government: The GRAND SEIdNIOR has ordered all the disposable Troops to asses ble at Constantinople. DRESDEN, JUNE iB.—The Chevalier de SAXE had the advantage, in his duel with the Prince Stu now, upon the Frontiers of Saxony. and Bohemia, but he was not so successful in his contest with Prince TscltEttArow, who travelled from Petersburg to Vienna to meet him. When - the Prince arrived at Vienna, he found that the Chevalier de SAXE had set out in order to fight Prince Sun° w.— When the duel between the Chevalier de SAXE and Prince Sti BOW was over, Prince TscHERBATOW immediately challenged the Chevalier, and it was agreed that they should meet on the 22d of June, in the Saxon Territory. They met on the day appointed, at two o'clock in the morning. The Prince fired first, and shot his opponent through the breast, who immediately dropped, exclaiming "I am I" He had, however, strength enough to get up, and fire at the Prince, whose hat he shot off. The Chevalier died in a few minutes in his arms ; he was buried in a neighbour ing Monastery. The dispute which led to this duel, happened in the reign of CATHERINE II.: it arose from a harsh answer which the Chevalier made to die Prince, when the latter asked him how he did. The following Anecdote is told of the EMPEROR and the KING of PRUSSIA. The two Monarchs were walking in the Port when an English vessel arrived there, the Captain of which did not know that Their Majesties were in that town. The Eng_ lish Captain wore a Russian Order. The EMPEROR asked him how he had obtained it ?—He replied, that it was at ihcona. The KING of PRUSSIA then told the Captain, _that he was speaking to the EMPEROR of RusstA. The Officer was considera. bly disconcerted at this information ; but when the EMPEROR added, that the Personage who was with him was the KING of PRUSSIA, he recovered his natural ease, and lett them, saying Gentlemen, I an not to be caught in that way, I assure you. The right of EleCtors to return to Parliament, any pers. n against his. own consent, has been so rarely exercised, that some very respetqable persons have expressed their doubts of the legality of ing Mr. BURDON to serve in Parliament for the County of Durham, after he has declined to offer him_ . self as a Candidate. But the following adjudged case in Scrjeant GLANv ',LE'S Reports, will remove every doubt upon this important part of the Con ! stitution, " The Question was, Whether Sir THOMAS ESTCOVRT was eligible against his own consent, and contrary to his desire ? And it was held clearly, that he was ; and that no man, beitig lawfully chosen, can refuse the Place ; for the Coun try and Commonwealth have such an interest in every man, that when, by lawful Eleftion, he is appointed to such public service, he cannot, by any unwillingness, or refusal of his own, make himself incapable ; for that were to prefer the will, or con tentment of a private man, &fore the desire and satisfaction of the 'whole Country, and the ready way to put by the sufficientest men, who are com monly those, who least endeavour to obtain the Place."— Glanville's Reports of Elethons, p. tot.

The Dr. is lineally descended from the daughter of the fa mous Dr. ATTERBURY, who mentions her death in such affectionate terms in his Letters to Mr. Porgs Nothing could exceed the favour shewn to Comte WORONZOW by his Royal Master on his return to Russia. Tile Eatpartoit, on his way hack from Memel, hearing that his Excellency was not far distant, sent art express, desiring he would join him. As soon as they met, His MAJESTY took the Comte into his carriage, and they travelled together to Narva. On Saturday' evening, as the Edinburgh Mail was proceeding up Kingsland Road, a stalliun came furl. ously from the brewhouse, and most violently at: tacked the horses, biting and tearing them with all the savage ferocity of a beast of prey. At length the pole broke, and the horses disentangled, gallop ped off with the bars at their heels towards Bishops gate with such astonishing speed, that the people had not time to get out of the way, knocking down men, women and children, several of whom were thrown to a considerable distance and very much bruised: They were fortunately stopped by Shote ditch turnpike gate: The hoe= was not secured till after an attack on him by the populace with sticks and bludgeons. The same beast got loose and at tacked a Gentleman's horse about a twelvemonth since: The coach was with difficulty prevented being overturned by the exettions of the coachman, and the Mail was detained a considerable time in eansequerrce of the accident:, The following is a Statement of the Quantity of Table Beer brewed by the first Twelve Houses in London, for one year, ending july s ph, 18ot.

ARREST OF JOHN ICING. The circumstance of the Arrest of Mr. 76,/,:m King, on his return from Guildhall, where he hAd been attending upon the COMmision of Bankruptcy issued against the suppositious Baronet, Lathropi Murray, produced an application to the Court of Chancery, for the purpose of obtaining Mn King's discharge, and punishing the Attorney who had is sued the process, and the Officers who had executed i t. On Thursday last the Officers, Whose names were Garritt and Osborne, appeared in Court, to answer the complaint made against them. Mr. MANSFIELD stated, from the Affidavit of Mr. King, that the Arrest was made while he was attending at Guildhall, in obedience to the Conimis. sinners' Summons ; and that the Officers sent fbr him out, in order to make their caption. The Officers justified themselves under the indem nity of Mr. BnacxsTocx, the Attorney, who had sued out the Writ. The LOAD CHANCELLOR ordered the matter to stand over till this day, when all parties, by their Counsel, were ordered to appear before him. It appeared from the Affidavits of the Officers, that they had received their instruaions from Mr. Black stock; that they happened to be attending at the Hustings on the City Eleaion,when Mr.Blackstock's Clerk came up to them, and said he wished one of them to execute a warrant. Garritt replied, he could not leave the Hustings, upon which Mr. Black stock's Clerk observed, that he might have the name of Osborne, who was also on the Hustings near him, inserted in the warrant. He added, that the per son to he arrested was Mr. John King, who was attending a Commission of Bankruptcy ; that per haps he would slim'. a paper, pretending it was a protection, but the Officers were nevertheless to arrest him, and Mr. Blackstock would in demnify them. They got the warrant, and wait ed near an hour' before the!' saw the Defend ant. Mr. King at length came our, and as he was proceeding down the steps of Guildhall; he held up a scroll of paper, and exclaimed aloud, " lake notice, lam going strait." As a number of persons of his acquaintance were near him, the Offi cers were apprehensive of a rescue, they therefore followed him as far as Lawrence lane, and there ar rested him. Mr. King insisted on returning to Guildhall. The Officers went with him to the 2:orritnissioners, who declined interfering in the bu_ siness of the Sheriff. They said the Defendant at tended upon their summons, and the Officers would aa at their peril. the Officers denied having sent in for Mr. King, as he had untruly suggested in his Affidavit; Mr. RICHARDS addressed the Court on behalf of Mr. Blackstock, the Attorney, whose Affidavit stated, that he had not the least intention of aging in contempt of the authority of the Chancellor or his Commissioners ; that what he had done had been upon the spur of the moment, and without know ing that Mr. King was summoned by the Com missioners ; that he had been misled by the case of Kinder and Williams, in F omit Term Reports that he had reason to believe Mr. King had tot some tithe previous tarried a subpcena in his pocket, to proteCt him from arrest, and that if he was arrested, art attempt would be made to rescue him. The Learned Counsel said his Client was a young man of extreme good eharaeter ; that he had evidently aaed under a wrong impression, and was much con cerned at the error he had committed. The case of Kinder and Williams, alluded to, is reported in a very, obscure and slovenly manner, and might well mislead even the most experienced Lawyer. Mr. BIGOT maintained that Mr. Blackstock had absolved himself from all intention to defeat the Law. His undertaking to indemnify the Officers was only to be referred to the circumstance of Mr. John King's walking about with a stibpcena ton_ stantly in his pocket. It was intended to put the Ol to on his guard aga i nst any attempt of Mr. King to evade the operation of the Law, rvlr. Blackstock was a young man just entering into business, and conscious he had not committed the wilful error imputed to Ithri by Mr. King, was ready to stibtriit to What6Vei• his Lordship should think necessary to the justice of the Case. Mr. BELL extenuated the error in judgment on the part of the Attorney. He Considered it of too venial a nature to call for that severity of punish ment demanded by John King ; it was not the case of a person who had wilfully and deliberately afted wrong. Mr. IVIANsiiPLO admitted that Mr. Blackstock was a Gentleman of chraaer ; but his Affidavit; if it could be attended to, placed the justice of the country in a situation truly dangerous. In the first place, it would be attended with consequences of the most serious nathre, if a Sheriff's Officer, who ex. petiented i# klifficulty in arresting a man, in conse quence of some proteaion he might have, was to be encouraged by an assurance of indemnity, to violate what the Law sandioned. It ought to be knOWn, that an Attorney, though he might in demnify a subordinate Officer against the pe cuniary consequences of an • illegal aI, Could not indemnify him against imprisonment. Mr. Blackstock, instead of emboldening the Officer to disobey the Law, would have done well to have told him if Mr. King insisted on any proteaion, to have inquired into the validity and legitimacy of it ; btit it appeared that Without any such inquiry the Oa_ cers had arrested Mr. King; and that Mr. Black stock had agreed, right or wrong, to indemnify theni. His Lordship Must_ besensible what would become of the Courts of Justice, if such_ a proceed ing as this was, could be tolerated with impunity. LORD CHANc g r. ot '(Er.nos.)( 4 What remains to be done, is between the Court and the Parties. Mr. King has nothing to do with it. It seemed to me, I own, when I heard the Affidavit stated with reference to the Officers, and Pound that so much of it related to what Mr: Blackstock had said and done, that I should not have acted right, if I had looked only to the case of the Officers without adverting to that of the Attorney, who appeared as the Minister of the Court, giving dirations to a subordinate Minister to violatl that Law it was his duty to sup. . Ore. I ins the less wi..ing to have ammiii, c? 4 ,3 upon the condua of that Cemtlenian, knew he was a respettable mao, oini been sorry if it had turned out to hive •en reprehensible than certainly is. To say the least of it, it is rash, though it is impossible', under all. the circumstances; to consider it as ConteniptuonStci the Court. It appears to me to stand thus; • Mr. BliCkstock's A Sla vi t : —that he took ;he case in the Fourth Term Report (which clearij does not seem to have understood) to be Liw, tie supposes that my Lord KEN.YON, by that dcci,.l.a-i; authorised a person to be arrested under the cir cumstances of this case. It is stated by Mr. / stock, that he did not conceive Mr. King was attending under a suMmans , from the Cooittila. : sioners, b u t m ere ly a s an ordinary Creditdr to prove his debt. I should 'pause a ,great whi.e before would say that a person attending at Guildhall, or any other place, to prove a debt under a Bankrupt cy, was not prorated from arrest, and for this rea.: son it is the only mode in which he can sue. If a man is attending a Court of Justice to pr , seente a claim, he is proteded from arrest i-undoi /no.. rands, et redeuedo, consequently if ;he Law, as in the case of Bankruptcy, compels a man to one particular mode of enforcing his der - hand, it should seem that he is entitled to the sa'..ne degree of personal protedion, as if prosecuting his suit in any of the Courts of Common Laski. It is not necessary, however, to discuss this question.— It is enough to say, that it is involved in suffici_ ent doubt and obscurity. to prevent any Grntle. man being charged with • a contempt of Court for adopting his own constrtidion of it. I agree with Mr. MA NSF I . LD, that it is improper in the full extent of the term, for any Attorney to presume to indemnify an Officer for aktting trary to what the Law will justify. I n ish It to he very distindly understood, and particularly by the Officers of the Sheriffs, if any are here, that how ever an Attorney may indemnify them froM the pet cuniary consequences of a breach of thei-r duty, the Law must be upheld by that mode of froni the effed of which no Man can indeninify anothe.. The punishment I. mean is impriSonmeni; which, in the case of wilful delinquency, must ever be severe.; Upon this occasion I have looked through the Affidavit cif the Officers, and I confess' it does not seem to Me they have been aging in contempt of the Court. It is a good deal in their favour they had: the authority of Mr. Blackstock. I Nave nd doubt, upon principles of law and reason, as veil as upon the enactment of the Statute, that per,; sons attending a• CoMmission of Bankruptcy, as well as those who are summoned by the Commis_ sioners, are protedied from arrest ; yet when I ad vert to what Lo r d KENYON is supposed to have said; in the case of Kinder Williams, there is; I con.:- fess, sufficient to create a doubt ; though supposing the latigtr•g,e imputed to him in the Report to be ae.. curate,. the dodrine is certainly new., Under these circumstances, therefore, and having it 'explicitly' understood, .that such a thing as this must n ever happen.Ogain, I dismiss th e Parties. I however think it right Mr. Blackstock should riy all the costs. I wish for the sake of that Gentleman td state, than he pes out of this Court with as un.: blemished a charader as he came in."
