WARNER PHIPPS, Secretary. This was an indictment against the defendant for indecently exposing his person, in the presence of femalei, in Moorfields. The-Jacts were established by four witnesses, and corroboraull by the constable who took the defendant into custody, and to whom he ()Were(' money if he would permit him to escape, as an examination at the Mansion House would bring ruin on him self and family. Mr. ADOLPIIVS, who a with Mr. A lifiktiAlt, had cross-ex.. amined the witnesses, said that he telt it impossible to resist a case so proved, and that therefore he should not trouble the Jury with observations or evidence, which must be in vain. The Jury found the defendant Guilty. TO MESSRS EItOWELL AND CO. London, Nov: 23, 1822. ILAVING received on board th e SHIP ECLIPSE (myself Master), on a Voyage to Jamaica and back, Two New Topsails, a Mainsail, Foresail,' Main and Mizen Staysalls, made of Brown Canvas, which hid un. dergone your ANTI-MILDEW PROCESS, I am • happy to report upon the same. The Topsails, Foresail, and Staysails, have not the slightest appearance of Mildew, and are much improved in colour; but the Mainsail having been more used, is not only perfectly f ree f rom Mild ew, but is so much iin. proved in colour, as to equal the Whitest Coker Canvas, and retains a softness which makes it much more easy to furl. And I am decidedly of opinion, that any Canvas having undergone your valuable Process is in every respect more useful and be. neticial than any other not prepared Canvas now in use. JOHN T. HODGSON.

LAS CASES' JOURNAL The following is BUONAPARTE's account of his projects for invading England : After the Emperor had dressed, lie sat down to hli English lesson, bet he did not continue at it long, for his head ached severely. Ho told me to sit down by him, and made me talk for more than two hours about what I had observed in London during My emigration. Among other. things, he inquired, " Were the English very much afraid'of my Invasion ? What was the general opinion at the time P" " Sire," I replied, " I cannot inform you ; I had then returned to France. But in the saloons of Paris we laughed at the idea of an invasion of England; and the English who were there at the time did so too. lt was said that even ßrunet laughed at the schem e , an d th at you had caused him to be im prisoned because he had been insolent enough In one of his parts to set some nut-shells afloat in ktub of water, which he called manoeuvring hislittle flotilla."---" Well 1" replied the Emperor, " you might laugh in Paris, but Pitt did not laugh in London. He soon calculated the extent of the danger, and therefore threw a‘coalition on my shoulders at the moment when I raised my arm to strike. Never was the English Oligarchy exposed to greater danger. " I had' taken measures to preclude the possibility of failure in my landing. I had the best army in the world ; I need only say it was the army of Austerlitz. In four days I should have been in London : I should have entered the English capital, not as a conqueror,- but as a liberat or . I s h ould have b een another William ; but I would have acted with greater generosity and disinterestedness. The discipline of my army was perfect. My troops would have behaved in London the • same as they would in Paris. No sacrifices not even contribu tions, would have be e n exac t e d f rom t h e Engl ish. Weshould have presented ourselves to them, not as conquerors, but as brothers, who came to . restore to them their rights and liberties. I would have assembled the citizens, and directed them to labour themselves in the task of their regeneration ; because the Eng lish had already proceeded us in political le g i s l at i on; I would have declared th at o ur only wish was to be able to rejoice in the happiness and prosperity of the English people ; and to these professions I would have strictly adhered. In the course of a few months,,, he two nations which had been such determined enemies would have henceforward com . posed only one people, identified in prineiples, maxims, and interests . I should have departed from England, in order to effect, from south to north, under republican colours (for I was then First Consul) the regeneration of Europe, which, at a later period, I was on the point of effecting from north to south under mon archical forms. Both systems were equally good, since both would have been attended by the, same result, and would h ave been carried into execution with firmness, moderation, and g o od faith. How many ill s t h at are now en dured, and how many that arc yet to be experienced, would n ot un h appy Europe have escaped ! Never was a project so favourable to the interests of civilization conceived with more disinterested intentions, or so near being carried into execution." " It was supposed," said he, " that my scheme was merely a vain threat, because it did not appear that I possessed any reasonable means of attempting its execution. But I had laid my plans deeply, and without being observed. Iliad dispe rse d all our French ships, and the English were sailing after them to different parts of the world. Our ships were to return suddenly and at the same • time, and to assemble in . a mass along the French coasts. I would have hail seventy or eighty French or Spanish vessels in the Channel ; and' I calculated that I should continue master of it for two menthe. Three or four thousand, little boats were to he ready at a signal.: A hundred thousand men were every day drilled in embarking and landing, as a part of their exercis e . Th ey were full of ardour, and eager for the enterprise, whi c h was very popular with t he French, and was supported. by the wishes of a great number of the English. After landing my troops, I could cal ; culate upon only one pitched battle, the result of which could not be doubtful, and victory would have brought us to Landon. The nature of the country would not admit of a war of ma nteuvering. My conduct would have done the rest. The people of England groaned under the yoke o f arlOlib tre e y hY w . ould b i r i e it e s l 'e ranged themselves on our side. . ing 'that their pride had notbee.en humbled , We should have been consi dered only as Allies come to effect their deliverance. We should have presented ourselves with the magical words of liberty and equality,'" kc. This was an action brought to recover compensation, in dee triages, from the defendant, for the non.fulfilieent Of a promise of marriage made by him to the plaintiff: The case for the plaintiff was conducted by Mr. Pit !LIPS and Mr. WENTWORTH, and for the defendant by the SoLlce- TOR-GExErcaL and Mr. ',awe. Mr. WENTWORTH having opened the pleadings, Mr. Pun :Lira stated the case to the Jury, to the effect fol lowing:—Gentlemen of the Jury, this, as you have heard from my Learned Friend, Mr. Wentworth, isean action to recover compensation in damages from• the defendant, for the injury the plaintiff has sustained by his not fulfilling a premise of tnarnage he lied mad e h er . •Gentlemen, I think I may safely say, that if ever there was an , aggravated case, which called for more than ordin ar y (I:tillages, from the conduct of the defen dant, 'I 'think thi s is i t . 1 shall abstain feom any thing like useless comment on the nature Of the case, and immediately proceed to state the circumstances to you in astehort and clear a manner as lam able. Between the years IWO and 1800, tile defendant was sent to this country by his . .father, from Ame rica, for the purpose of attaining the advantages of an Eng lish education. The person chosen by the tether as most fit to superintend the tender - age of the defendant, when from -under,the immediate eye of a schoolmaster, wait the plaintiff's father. In his house the defendant was always treated as a 'member of the family, and generally spent his vacations there. In the year MOO, the crefondant entered the naval service of his Majesty, end remained in that situation until the year 1813. At that time he returned in a state of the greatest distress, with scarcely the ,common clothing necessary to pro. test him from the inclementics of the weather. lie stated, that *having been ciet away on the 'coast of Ireland, and finding him self unable to obtain subsistence, he had applied to the plain tiff's family as his only friends; he was reeeived with the greatest kindness and hospitality; and for a space of six months he enjoyed all the collet - 41s that the lip use of a friend could ' afford him. During that period his attentions to the present plaintiff enabled him to make en impression on her heart ; he avowed himself her lover, and at the expiration of the six months, as he was then going to return to America for some years, they interchanged mutual vows of fidelity. •In the year . 1820 he returned, expressed his delight that the plaintiff had, still remained &hided to hiM, .and proposed that their happi ness should be coneummated.at the earliest opportunity. This was agreed to on the part of the lady, e nd p re p ara ti ons f or t h e wedding were. actually cenimenced, when the whole family. were thrown into constereatioe by the defendant's informing the plaintiff that he should not marry her, as he had determined to remain single as long as he lived, This, tot might be ex pected, greatly affected her, and by way ofeompeesation, he pro. posed to make her a present of three hundred pounds, to eet her up in hueiness, and pay the rent of a house for her father and .mother. I believe this preposal was accepted. Shortly after- wards they were informed; by a letter from the defetithint, that he had married a cousin of the present p laintiff'; and by the ex woolens contained in the letter, it will appear clearly that he thought himself in some way bound urthe plaintiff e —lle says ineone part, " I hope your daughter Betsey does not take it atnise that I should marry Jane." This letter he ends with R. blunder, that not ev e n an Irish geetleman would make, - al. though the gentlemen of 1 reiantl are generally conicidered as famous for mistakes. Ile concludes with, " and belieere me to be ever yours affectionately, your nephew and niece.,—lyilliam Illeate." Gerelemen, these are the cireetnatances under which' the present action is brought. I fbtbear- Makin; ROY romentic observations; but you must perceive that here is a lady whose heart is prepossessed in favour of the defendant, and in conSe qualm of her vows remains for, this long term of years in a state jie celibacy, and it ie not very probable shut she can form a second engagement, and thus lies fallen a victim to her rare fidelity. Gentlemen, I' wish you to dismiss all coneiderations of this eon from your minds, and merely fix your damages up tin an arithmetical calculation, as my Learned Friend, the Solicitor-General, would air it, of the injury she has received. 1 shall therefore sit down, perfectly certain , that whatever your verdict may be, my client will be perfectly satisfied with it. Wm. Rena, father or the plaintiff, leafed that he reMeni. bered the defendant's coming to Englander', go to School. - Be. went to sea in 1808, and returned again in the greatest distress , in 1815: He remained at witness's house for six month*, during . Which time' he was received as the lover of the plaintiff".- He then went to America; and returned in 1820. lie muffled hie at. tendons at that time, and appeared very anxious that the mar. stage might take place as soon as possible. Shortly befOre the time the marriage was expected to• take place, he told witness and the tilaintiff that he should not marry her, as lie hail de terminecl to be single for the remainder of his life. Soon after, he wrote witness a letter, stating that he had married a cousin of' the plainti ff , and hoped th at the latter would not be displeased at his having done so. Ile proposed to give her 300/. and pay the rent of a house for the witness and his wife by way of com pensation for the loss she had sustained. • The letter mentioned by the w i tness W a s now put in and read. Mary Hester, a sister of the plaintiff, corroborated the testi mony of the last witness, and stated that her sister had receiv ed 201. as part of the 3001. promised by the defendant, and that the latter had paid IW. a year since the transaction, as part of the rent of the .house, in which the plaintirs father resided. Captain Thornton stated, that he had heard Mr. Mean say . he had obtained 30,0001. on the death of his father, a short time antecedent to his marriage with the plaintiff's cousin. • The Swam TOR-GENERAL for thedefendant, contended that although there certai i nly had been a breach of promise on the part of the defendant, yet, in giving damages, the Jury were to consider the relative situation of the parks. flis Learned Friend, Mr. Phillips, had indulged hituself in a great number of very strong expressions with regard to the d e f en d ant , as to his having forced her to remain in a State of celibacy, ea the re ward of her " rare fidelity." Now as to that point, what notice had she ever taken of her promise during the whole time he Was absent from htr ? or what concern had site ever expressed about him ? It was probable that her principal reitaon for net forming a Second engagement was, that her very mature and considerate age of forty years prevented her-from attaching many lovers, or her plighted vows to the defend ant wou ld not have made her i hesitate. In giving damages, great moderation ought always to be used on thepart of the jury; and in this par. ocular instance certainly the sum which the plaintiff had herself agreed to accept its a compensation for the injury she had re ceived would be quite Sufficient. -The Learned Counsel was therefore sure that when they came to weigh all the circumstancet of the case, the damages they would grant must be very small. The Cu tEr Jun icg having summed up the evidence, -re marked to the J ur y t h at , a l t h oug h t h e sum of 3(101. which the plaintiffhati agreed to accept, should not decide their opinion as to the amount of the damages they were to give, yet it might be of very.great assistance to them. But whether they would give more or less than the 300/. was for them to decide. The Jury, after about ten minutes consideration, returned a verdict for tho plaintiff. Dain age ogni. Costs 401. THE LEWISHAM Moan ca.---Co/entan, the sus. pected murderer of Mr. SMITH, is Still in custody at the Fountain Tavern, Deptford. Yesterday he underwent a very long private examination `before Cal.

Yesterday the Brokers in fdreign securities went' into' the new room, which had .been given to :them by the Proprietors of the Stock Exchange, but it rather resembled a decoy than a place for bUsinexi ; indeed, report says that ducks used formerly to frequent the same preserve. There were two good tires in the room, and the Gentlemen for a short time felt themselves uncom monly comfortable. They enjoyed the tires, and congratulated 'tech his friend on getting into such warm quarters. The one!! tit needful,. however, was wanting—there were plpttt of gentlemen present ready, to buy and sell on corumission.:BOVirs'.l4., appeared to furnish the m with orders. They had a good opporttt nity for maturely examining the features of each other, but the faces of their employers were not to be seen. It was fortunate fek them that this decoy was not one from which there ,was no egress. One by one they vanished from this new Foreign Stock Exchange; theygridually apPeareit on the Royal Exchange, there they met their former employers, and business became again animated amongst them. Capitalists do not a pp rove o f concealed transactions, an d un l ess they have a free and unre stricted property.of watching the money market, very li t tl e spe culative busines s will i n f uture b e done in foreign. securities.-.. The Royal Exchange is the heat place for transactions of this description, and those who have been able to endure the stormy iveather•and cold days of last I)ecember, need not dread the fu ture. This morning the assemblage was on the Royal Exchange, as usual.--( :Warning Chronicle.) SURREY WINTER ASSIZES. ICINGSTON Jaer. 1. Etfore Mr. Justice BAYLEY.)
