1' A , .1 C 4 in consequence Of a signal defeat by the Blacks, had re.embarked, with, the intention of returning to Europe. We havee-nd doubt of their embarkation taking place•in consequence of orders froth home, and we have as little doubt that it is .the wish of BON&PARTE to temporize with us till he gets his St. Domingo Squadron safe into an European port. In this view we hope he will be disappointed. The present is the moment for us to strike, and we trust our Ministers have wound up their courage to the blow. While a' hope of the continuance of Peace re. trained, we were the zealous advocates for its pre. nervation, upon any terms short of a 'sacrifice of the honour and interests of the Country. We have Uniformly approved of the experiment of Peace.... that it his failed we deplore ; but this Country has tuttch to console and to animate it, in the midst of the struggle which it must renew. It has to boast of Talents and Integrity in Public Life, unex. ampled in the world—Let these be called into ac_ tion, and there are no difficulties so great that we may not hope, with the aid of Providence, to overcome. The Funds were this forenoon still steady. The per Cents. at 64 j but little or no business was doing. Yesterday morning His M4jasrr, attended by General Gwutrta, rode in .the neighbourhOod of Windsor, and arrived at Buckingham House about tall past three. Haft MAJESTY and the five rR tNcEssts, attend ed by Lady ALBINA. CUMBERLAND and Miss VYSE, left Windsor with their usual escort, and arrived at Buckingham House -about twelve o'clock. The P*INCE of WALES was expeded yesterday tt Brighton. His Royal Highness having purchased the Promenade Grove, it will no more be opened for public amusement. All the Watermen belonging to the Nubility are to be impressed. "i he nit-et - tors of the Bank of Scotland, who had sold I 59,9001. Consols at 69} on the forgery day, yesterday'signified to the purchasers, through their Broker, that they considered the bargains to have been founded upon a base imposition on the Public judgment, rand therefore they readily relinquished all idea of advantage to themselves from so fraudu. lent a transanion. Private Letters, it is said, bring intelligence that the whole inhabitants of St. Domingo, of all Co lours, had become so tired of the vexatious tyranny of the French, as at last to have resulved to get rid of them by any means.—ln consequence, the re port adds, they had united their strength, and at last compelled the French Troops to evacuate the Island. If it be true that the French Troops have eva, euated that Island, it was most probably in purse ante of orders received from France. The Statistic Society of Paris, have resolved to Write to Sir JOHN SINC LAIR to offer him the title of Foreign Associate. Considerable purchases have been made, on ac. Count of the French Republic in Livonia, and the interior of Russia, of timber for Shipbuilding. A letter dated from Constantinople) appears in one of the Paris Papers, which. states that the Turkish Minister had thanked the French Ambassador in the . name of the GRAND SEIGNOR I , for the eliCelliOSS 4ntervention of the French Government, in procur ing the evacuation of Egypt by the English troops, and that the REIS EFFENDI had declared tit* the SULTAN was ready to renew the ties which united Prance and the Porte, particularly with respeEt to Commerce. These absurd tales, under the form of letters from Constantincpb, art so evidently mann hattred at Paris, .that they scarcely deserve notice. One of the Paris Papers contains the formal all of ratification by His Isar ER IAL 'MAJESTr of the final Conclusum of the Germanic - Diet, in which, however, there are several reservations. Amongst other points, the EMPEROR reserves himself for a future decision with resped to the votes in the Col. lege of Princes, it still being very naturally the fa vourite object of His IMPea.iAL MAJESTY ,to obtain, if not a prepinderance 'on the Catholic side, at least an equality of Votes between the two Religions. HoW far the House of Austria will succeed in•this objea, is matter of considerable ..floubt, as from a concur. sence of eircumstances t the KING of PRUSSIA OS. sesses at ptesent a commanding influence in the Germanic Rody, and he will, of ceurse, oppose. arty measure which tends w lessen that influence by de. creasing the number of Protestant Volts, or by add. ing any new. Votes to the CathOlic Party who sup. port the House of Austria.' But the Emplaoa probably reserves' himself upon this subjeff, in the hope of deriving some advantage from the Chapter • of Accidents. . • • At Abbeville, in France,. the following calami tous eircumttance took place on the ad of May. As the jailor of the town, in the execution of his-. duty, was shutting the old gates of the - city,' after banishing a woman of loose morals, they suddenly fell o ff t h e hi nges on ,t h e crowd, killed sixi and dangerously *blinded four persons: • I . he Hastings Fishermen have latelY been very successful in catching soals on a newly discovered g r ound) to which the Fishermen have given the name of Diamond Crowd. The Hastings men, far their knowledge of this valuable ground, are in. debted to some Frenchmen, by .whom it was first discovered. Yesterday, morning, about half past ten o'clock;" the house .of Lord IlealttllY l at Cranford, was'dii covered to be on file ; but we are happy to say, by timely assistance it was got under without any ma. aerial damage. The family Were in London. On Sunday night, about nine o'cloCk, the body Of a woman was taken out of the New River, near Sadler's Wells.'

EltsKttst Moved for a writ of HabeaS Cot. pts to be direaed to the Captain of His Majesty's slip Li Pique, cortinianding him - to bring up the body of John Goodney, w o had been impressed mom on board an Atnerican ship, called the Three Ssters. This Motion was grounded on an affidaVii, sating that this per Son, besides being an apprentice, vas a native of America, and a subjeft oft hb 'United Sates. Rule granted: THE KING osAILEt. This was a rule calling on Mr., , ley, an Apothecary at Windsor, to shew cause why a cri. ninal information should not be filed against hiM, br having, as it was alledged, sent to Dr: Mingay, Physician of that place, a challenge to fight a Mr. Mogi tits said, he abandoned this rule. Mr. GARROW said, that as his Learned Friend, Mr. Eastiwe, abandoned his rule, it must be dis. charged ' • but the Court would, perhaps, allow him to say a few words on behalf of Mr; O 'Riley, who lad been calumniated on this occasion. He was a toting man of reputation in Windsor, and he wished :o stand well in the o . pioton of his acquaintance. This was an application made on . behalf of Dr. Mingay, a physician in Windsor, who had stated that he had prescribed for a Patient, that the pre. scription was to have been made up by Mr. O'Riley, and that he altered it, on which the DJelor remonstrated, and Mr. O'Riley sent him a challenge. To this the answer was, not only on the oath of Mr. O'Riley himself, but also of several other persons, all stating, not only that Mr. O'Riley did not make use of this brutal violence towards Dr. Mingay, nor did he alter his prescrip tion, but that the violence came from the Maar to him; that the Doftor bad .drawn out a pistol, and said he would shoat Mr. O'Riley like a mad dog, pursued him to his house, and challenged hint to fight ; in a word, Mr. GARROW said, the whole of the statement of the Dui.tor was a misteprentation of the case. Mr. ERSK r r r. said, that the affidavit produced to Mr. GARROW contraditted that on which this, rule was obtained. Lord ELLRNBOROUGH said, it was needless Jor the Court to hear any more upon this subjel. The rule was abandoned, and therefore must he dis. charged with costs. Rule ttischatged with costs. .. r... - Francis Hastings .and . John .Fortesene Morgan, Lieutenants of His Majesty's ship L'Aigle, were brought - up 'by Habeas Corpus, from the gaol of. Dorset,- where they stood charged on the Coroner's Inquisition with the murder of Alexander An drews, at a village called Easton, at Portland, while on the Impress Service : they came up for the purpose of being bailed. ' it appeared by the aftilavits, AS we stated on a former' occasion, that the Captain came on shore for the purpose of impressing ; that he went to the Mayor of Weymouth, and had the impress warrant back'd by him ; that he told the people, who col loted at the village, the business he came upon, and said he 'wanted none but sailors. That they resisted him in the execution of his duty in the King's Service ; . that the assault was committed by the mob ; that the pistol, which the Captain held in hisleit hand, went off by accident, and the contents todged in the ground, and that the Captain was wounded in the scuffle, which afterwards became general, and in which some persons lost their lives, and many of the Crew were wounded, Sze. The depositions taken before the Coroner were brought up, but the Court could not regularly hear them read, because they were not stated to have been taken on oath. _ _ . Mr. Eitsictsre said, they had, on the part of the Defendants, whole volumes of affidavits ; hut it was unnecessary to take up the time of the. Court in hearing - them read, because the subjea had been fully and ably stated by ,his Learned . Friend Mt, JARVIS, when . he moved for the rule. It would not be just towards the individuals now before the Court, • nor perhaps very sate for the Public, to consider the point now. before their Lordships, as a • doubtful question. , Ile should think that the Grand Jury of Dorset, when they came to he as siSted, as most assuredly they would be assisted, by a charge which would be delivered to them by the Learned Judge who would go upnn the Circuit, Winild find it quite impossible. to find the bill for murder against these Gentlemen, so that they Would , only be arraigned on the Coroner's Inquisition. It • would be strange indeed, Gentlemen sent upon so very unpleasant and perilous a service, for the purpose of manning our fleet at o moment of timer. gency, were to be found guilty of murder, when they stied in their own defence against a violent and outrageous mob. They must be allowed to be on a service, which was unquestionably legal, for it was not now a question, when.Nat4lofileerS had the authority of the Lords of the Admiralty to irri press Seamen into His Majesty's Service, they were , acing legally by impressing that it was not 110,W• to be questioned, after so many. recognitions of the praflice by Aels of Parliament. TheseGentlernen Were engaged in What the State considered as o legal service, and ,what necessity .would justify. Flow the case would stand, if some persons of the mob were charged with this crime, and were brought up to be bailed, would be quite another question, be. , ‘ cause they were riding in direet disobedience to the law, •in resisting persons' in this very perilatis, but necessary service. It 'would be dangerous to throw. out any doubt that it was matter of - discretion in the Court, to admit these Gentlemen to bail in this case. There was no opposition. The to` took te- cognizances of, the two Defendants, themselves in 4001. and four sureties of tool. each, to take their trials at the Assize for the County of Dorset. They were then discharged. .
