The tondult Of General LASNSS i In Portugal, both fromtthe ravage propensity of his nature, and the encouragement by which it has been instigated by his Government, has passed all bounds of decency and endurance. The contempt and hautear with which he presumes to treat the PRINCE REGENT, are altogether intolerable, and seem to betray, on the part of the Consular Court, a wish to make an exieriment how tar such insolent preslimption may unresentingly be submitted to. We arc informed that he requested, or rather demanded, an audience of the PRINCE REGENT, and fixed the hour at which he was to be admitted; that he went to Court at the hour he prescribed, but upon finding the Pa INCE de. taineampon some serious business, beyond the ap. ;minted moment, after looking at his watch, ordered hianearriage, and abruptly withdrew, to the great as tonishment and indignation of all the Representatives or other Piswers.

PROM THE puma PAPERS. PARIS, OCT. ja. t. Tats day the ChicfConsul repaired on horieback to the Dock of the _lnvalids, and that near the Champ de Mars, where he went on board most of the gun -boats and other Vessels. He viewed with particular attention a new kind of oars invented by C. MARGUE RI E, and caused a trial to be made of them as , they seemed to increase the velocity of the vessels, he expressed , his approbation of them. Letters from Sc; Malo state, that six Flat-bot tomed Boats, four Transports, and two Gun-boats, from Brest, have entered that Harbour in the sight of an English Frigate and a Cutter. This Division on its passage was attacked by an English Cutter, but the latter met' with so warm a reception that she was obliged to sheer off. In the course of a few days so vessels will be ready at St. Malo, for the E?:petiirion. Vice-Admiral Boum will soon proceed thither to be Inspeaor-General of the Ma:- ririe. The First Consul has recommencieti three new Candidates to the Conservative Senate ; among whom are Botssy D'Arsc Liss, the Tribune, and Le BRUN ROCHEMONT, brother of the Third Consul. Nov. I.—Though orders have been sent to some of the Prefab, where the building of flat.bottomed boats has not yet been begun, to suspend their prepa. rations, it must by no means be imagined that any re laxation has takeoplace in the measures adoptedagainst England, for both here and in all the different Sea Ports, the Boat.builders are incessantly employed to complete the Vessels already on the stocks, and which it is supposed will be fully sufficient for the intended Invasion. Two new boats were this day launched from the Quay of the Invalids ; aid another, in which a detachment of the Life Guards had em barked, performed various MartCtUVICS. One of our Journals contains the following ob. servations on the Expedition against England " It is true that the Land Troops in France can easily be assembled, hut thegreat difficulty is to unite our Naval Forces. if we suppose that the general places of rendezvous are Dunkirk, Boulogne, and Calais, all the vessels provided on different parts of the Coast, from Bayonne to Holland, must ulti. mately proceed thither, and if they fall in with any of the English Squadrons must either fight their way, or find means to elude their attack, which may be done in the following manner : As a great part of the Coast is defended by batteriei and forts, as soon as the flotilla discovers the enemy our;ves.. eels, as they are weaker than the English, moo:0i. deavour to run in under the protettion of the baize. . ries, and place themselves in such a position as is best calculated to oppose the enemy, which will then be 'obliged to give up the pursuit ; the same tnanceuvre must he repeated the next day, and so on till the Vessels have reached the place of their destination, In thjs manner several small Squadrons have already formed a Junnion in spite of the enemy, and at the same time our Soldiers and Sailors are exercised in the necessary manccuvres. 64 When the diffreent divisions are united, the people must be daily exercised till the moment arrive when, in the course of six hours, they can land fifty thousand men on the banks of the Thames. We do tot yet know the real state of our force in the different harbours, and if we did know it, it cer. tainly would nut he proper for us to disclose it, but on the Bth of October it was stated at Lqndon that we had at Dunkirk too boats completely ready and manned, at Ostend rso, at Boulogne so, at Calais 70, at Dieppe, Fi-c my, anti Blankenburg so. at Flushing so, anti at Hrivoeisluys 60. it we suppose that the English had correct our naval force must have since been considerably increased by the boats and vessels built in the in. tenor." Vi ENNA, OCT. 20.-- , •This day the French Aro. bassadot, C. CHAMPAGNY, C011)171110iCated to our Court onicially, that the Negotiations carrold on for some time past, under the med;ation of Russia anti Prusiia, to bring about an accommodation between Eng!and and France, had not been attended with success.

All these warlike instruments will be put on board vessels ready for that purpose, and conveyed to Antwerp and Ostend.

THE kItIC , `.4. NOTTINGHAM. . . Mr. REEDER moved frig a Rule to spew Ca u se why th e Verdid ot - Gqi!ty, found in this case, shOuld not be set .aside, and Not Guilty entered, This was an Indidtnent which was originally to have been tried at the. Sessions for the City of Lincoln, but was removed by Cerikrar-i into this Court, and so went down to be tried at the Assizes for the County, where the Deferidant . Was fOund guilty art Assault. The o`jedion to the Convidion was, that it was illegal, because the requiSitioni of the Aft of Parliament of the 3E th of Hi., present Ma. jesty had not beeil eimplied with.. that Aft re, quired, that if any Indiament .was removed from Any City or Town, Sce. in the 'County, the' party moving it shoUld enter into a Recognizance of 401 0 ' . for the payment of what are called Extra Costs.—. That Recogniiance had nor been entered into it tl is case, and the re fO re die Convidion was illegal. He should not, however, insist on 'this ObjediOn, of his Learned Friend, on .ther side, assured him that they would not pray fur judgment upon the Defendant: The Court asked, what the,liattl.fe was ? Mr. REEDPIC said, that' the •Prcisecincir was Master of the Ceremonies to a übs.Ci7)o„oPls4l;4: and the Delendani one' of the Subscribers.. &Mie r ' misundeotanding arose between them, and the Prm.. secutor desired th.4t the Defendantnot attenq i any more.

The Plainta said he. would give an undertaking, - if he had collateral. security to the amount of the debts, whidt was 6001. The Countess applied to Lieute.. nant.Colonel Stuart, of the Life Guards, who told the Plaintiff that he did not knoW.enough of the • Countess's affairs to warrant his giving any securi. ty for payment of the debt, but that he had that confidence in the Countess's honour, he would give any security 1.1, her. appearance. -He accordingly joined: ,with the Countess in a Warrant of Attorney to ronfeas a judgment ,for 60. on the sole condition, as he understood, that she should appear at the return of the writ, ilut the Plaintiff haet entered up a judgment on the warrant for his bill of tees. Alarmed at this, Gen, STUART had sent his Attorney to examine the Warrant of Attor ney, wh'ch, by a late rule, must be. tired, and it nu w appeared that there was added to the condition art undertaking for the payment of the Plaintiff's hill ; but it was singular that this addition was in one small line of interlineatiou! on that ground he moved that the instrument itself should he brought into Court.

It was tried at the last Sit. rings at Guildhall, before Lord Alvanley, and was brought by a father to recover of the Defendant, who had debauched his daughter, a compensation in da. mages for the loss of her services. The girl lived with the Defendant for some time, receiving a weekly stipend of 25. bd, hut each night she slept at her father's. It was during this period the De fendant found means to debauch her; the conic_ quence of which was, she brought forth a son, which the father maintained, The Jury, upon hearing the whole of the evidence, gave a verdid for the Plain.. tiff, with t+ol. damages. The Learned Serjrant sought to set aside the verdict, on the ground that the girl was the adual servant of the Defendant, consequently her father had no right to complain of th e loss of her services, when he, in ha, could not command them.
