LONDON, SEPTEMBER ;3,,1803. Thibibr Mail of •the 19th, which arrived this Morning, has brought us 'the account of the Vial , and ConvietiOn that uay, of Roe, ERT Out Correspondent•at puHip has furnisheTus with a *ketch Of the Proceedings, which will be found,parti cul:itly interestinz. Mr.l . 4trafitT made a - long . speech to,tispcourt and Jury, in which he in someineasiire acktriAsattiged his guilt, but attempted to justify h $ U as proCeeding upon long established reirciples.' fie denied being the author' of the late Rebellion—denied all or any concert with France, tin l conjured the Irish People to burn their houses, desOlate their lands, rather than aid or assist the French, whose atrocities he had traced.in every . country' which they had visited. ' • It was on Monday evening reported in Dublin, that Tbmat Addis Emmett, the Counsellor, had been errested in , that City about an hour before the, trial of his brother was closed. We hope this account uny be true. Sente~ice„ of peoth was.i)assed on IWert Emmett, but ihe time fur bis c)tectition had not been fixed on Monday night. SIR SYDNEY Sum, we are happy to perceive, is at length aaively emyloyed. He appeared off the mouth of the Texe/on the 17th inst. in the 4,,te/ape, Of sozurnl, to relieve Commodore CUNNINGHAM, in the Princess of Orange. The latter Officer has been six weeks off 'the mouth of the Texel, and is ,now appointed to a fifty gun Ship, with a view to bia commanding a Flying Squadron of Frigates and wailer Vessels, for which his intelligence, exiled. cue; and ability eminently qualify . him. Letters from Officers of the Squadron' off the TeAd, state the firm belief of the Dutch that the Trivasion will he attempted, but they as firmly be. lieve that it never can succeed ; of course, their pre. paratons to assist in it are not very adive. AN overland Express from India has brought The Madras a - mews to the aoth of March, by which we learn the complete success of the British Farces in Ce)P1011 against thd K tNo of CANDI A, with whom, it has already been announced, we %ere at war. On the 20th of February our Troops entered the Capital of the Kingdom of Canclia, bay ing had a series of successes in the field. The King fled from his Capital, after having fired it in several places. Notwithstanding the exertions of our Soldiery, the Palace, and several Temples, fell a prey to the filmes. The town was entirely deserted •by !lie inhabitants, and all , the treasure had been removed. This event was considered as having terminated the War, and a successor to the fugitive King, mlre to the British interests, it was cxpeCied syoulti be immediately proclaimed.

I assure you, 'we lose 'from Our little ,Squadron so benevolent, so kind, so good and attentive a Commodore, although the brilliant name of his Suc. censor leads us to hope every thing that a continued aaivity. and energetic perseverance can give us, Sir Sint; y SMI TH is known to blend the accom. plished Gentleman with the zealous Officer. There is not, we learn, at present, a single French Soldier at the Helder, bur 700 Yaugers, or Sharp Shooters, are daily expeaed. By every account the Dutch think the Invasion' will be attempted, but its success admits no question with them—their Patriots are now few indeed, their Poor numerous and miserable; and those who have in their Nation's general wreck, preserved some little property, are obliged to conceal it by every outward badge of poverty, from Consular appropriation. Long ! long! may Britons influenced by example, by reason, and good sense, continue in unity to avert so calamitous a fate, as is imposed upon the once independent, happy, aud industrious Hollanders.

Capi:lioNNEß, which led, appeared, and was maintained,' though with little area, until the assailants entered the battery, From their con temptible mode of defence, the Enemy, I presume, have not suffered much loss; on'our side, ; jerjeant a n d ; private, of the 19th .Regiment, are severely. wounded. From the steepness and narrowness of the paths, • had the Candians behaved with common resolution, this conquest would have lost us the lives of many brave men. The Adigaar, it is said, has fled into the Four Corles, and the Troops who were lately under his command, are dispersed in the Woods, or have retired towards Candy. The mad to the Capital is now (veil ; I• shall reach Kato°. gastotte on the Mahaville Ganga to.morrow, and next day have it in my power to march into it. I have nu news of Lieut.-Col.

The King of CANDY and the first Adigaar had abandoned the Capital, and fled to the province of Ouva, after having ";et fire to the palace and several temples. General MACDOWALL had placed a guard upon the palace; and by the exertions of the British soldiers the fire had been extinguished, but not trout the building was nearly consumed. Cclumbe, February 26, i 8 C. 0. BY THE GOVIANOR, His Excellency the Governor is happy to congratulate Major-General Mscoo wALt. , oh the possession of the ea:. pital of the Kingdom nt Candy, by His Majesty's • Troops ; and on the speedy and saccesstal advanceineat of the impor tant hu - siness with which he is chargtd, the progress of ‘vhich, • His ExCelleticy is persuaded, would Nye been very different, had it not been for the energy, activity, and judgincht, dis played 'hy.,the :Major-General, and the exctlient discipline and spirt maintained by thin in the army. • I !is Excellency : requests •Major-Gener a l M A CUM , / A LL to acce! for his Thanks,,• , and to cominunicate them to Colo.rtek BA 11.1.1 r. 1.41111C1111.11t-0010111:1 114 ull and all the Officers who have so ineritoriously seconded • hint; and at the same. tiny; ten eXpress to the , N o l l - 120 41111i$SiOtied.011iCerS and Pri val.:s, his 41141.)h:410n of their good conduct and intre pidity, Sir JAMES SAUMAR EZ, we are happy to learn by recent and authentic letters from Garbisey, receiv ed no injury whatever, in .his late. atuack upon Granville. Upon landing at Guernsey, he walked with great activity to his own house, and the same evening' entertained a large party of friends. Yesterday, about twelve' o!clock, General Du ? Abut( cit paid a visit to Lord HOBAJIT, at his Office, Downing -street, where he remained upwards of two hours. No further Intelligence from the Continent has been received since our last, nor did that which ar rived on the two preceding days lead to any thing conclusive. The Report which we mentioned yes. terday of RnsJia being on the point of entering into an Alliance offensive and defensive with iputrra, Of course remains unconfirmed. Such an Alliance, however, would tend very tittle to extricate' the Continent from the domination of France, unless it should become the disposition of Russia to adopt strong and decisive measures in favour of this Coun. try. Of this there is at present n o groun d to en. twain any , expeelation, nor do we stand in need of any snch,, aid, our Courage and our Resources are perfectly adequate to the Contest in which we are engaged,. and we require -no foreign assist. mace to, enable us, to baffle the stratagems of the Enemy, and render his defeated Plans of Invasion contemptible in the eyes of Europe. The Conti nental Powers seem to be waiting till they can as. certain whether England or France has the advan. tage in the contest, !refire they ► chute their side, and to that period we must refer them. It is only to be lamented that they have had little regard to their own interest as to sanction by their apathy the upstart insolence, and the odious Tyranny of 110HAPARTg, thereby sealing their own degrada. two ,. and administering to the ambition of the Cocsicart UsurPefs VS; 11 . 1 "CntUidlY aims at their own deltpdion. . BAN (Jr alywi....= •••••,........111••••••• YEST/RDAr at twelve . o'clock, a General Court t I of the Proprietors of Bank Stock was held at th e Bark of England. .. The GoviteteOlt opened the business o f the Meet. . : ing.by informing the Court, that, by the construe. .• non of the teeth Section of the Mt of the last Sege : e, sion of Parliament, imposing a Tax on Propert*, the Court of Ditators was held bound to pay that pot. ,i tion cf the Tax which fell on the pro fits of the Bank. " . • ' for the hart half :year (being the first payment On the Dividends under that MI) anl that the Diteaors are.by the same Se lion of the said At empovrerea to deti4sl the amount of the Tax so paid from the Dividend on the Stuck for the said half year. Bt t t ‘! 1 the Court of Direttors was at the same time of op he , e nion, that .ehededultion from the Dividend, authee ee:, rized by the Ad ~should not be made a t p resent, but e ~ that it sleitild be remitted, till some future account:e and that the Court of Directors should, in the mean :.e i time, be emposvered to pay the amount of the Tax e :! , , . by advance. The present flourishing stare of the Bank was, in the opinion of the Coen o f Direetors, eufficient to warrant that CoUrr in recommeeding ~ this measure, which, as the advance was so smell '. (43,06014 could not be attended wit h an y risque._ The Court of Directors was, therefore, w illieg to . . take the responsibility upon it:Al. A Proprietor expressed a wish to know, whether the payment made by the Governor wo uld Waitant • • the Proprietors in omitting the profit no th eir St" from their Return of Income ? A Direelor answered, 1 that it was the opinion of the Court , that such an omission was perfectly justifiable, 1 as it could not be. o f the the intention of Goeernment that any me n shook' Pay twice for the same L ic ome ; and from p rescribe ing thismule of payment for the first contributi r f . it was naturally to be understood th at nO oider would be resorted to. At the same time it "'"' s stated, ie order to prevent misconcep tion, that to legal opinion had been taken as to the Validity payment by the Governor ;me the Court of MSc': ~ r- rs , as a plea in bar to a demand Or! the individual nimously (if opinion, that 'alter Proprietors. The Court would take Care to have the opinion of Counsel ; but the,Dtreetors were twee been made by them, en farther claim would be made ', :. for the Tax on thiserNvidenti, which was the oolye: one, as the Ad new stood, on which the tax Was t° ' be paid in this wa • e • , A Resolution, authorizing a full Dividend. of 3 f '' - 50. , . per Cent, without dettuttion, 00 the Compel Y 1 paynient silcAlid haVe . Stock 14 the last Mit year, was then put and eat fl a k unanito usly. The Gov ERWOR then ndverted to the right which al e the Proprietors had to 'an account of the pruceedings that b.:a already taken place, and the farther 1 9 e sores which it was intended to adopt in the CPC °,— Mr. Aslett. The ill state of his own health hate prevented him from paying that attention CO dd., important case, which the duties ofliis Office woulPs' otherwise have required ; he therefore begged l el " 'e to refer the Court to the Deputy. the. a ev ernor, wil° . progress, had been unremitting. The DEPUTY-GOVERNOR detailed CO the Court of Proprietors the proceedings in this case, Mile!, we have already laid before the Public , down to hi' convielion last week, with the reserv ation of the f attention to the case, throughout the whale o point of law. This puinr, the DererY.Goeltkcs.' said, was to be argued before th e rwelvd.r l3 l l,"' 1 , the course of the next term. The event 11f the ac s terminate in the deliverance of the gutnent was necessarily uncertain ; but if it siv ° d e g es vengeance of the law, the Cour, of Direetors e olte advised that it yet had a remedy, ;ind it %too _,. itself bound to take care, by detaining the Prisesenu. ureter circumstances the must agg to answer to a Civil Aztion for the pro perty . 4 ( o _ ea Prisoner from • vetted to his use, that a breach of t rust, c00 1 : 4 1 . 0 the grea:est amount of any private rblierY '' ' u ' n ib. ete,o . been known, should not 0 en tirelY ur sbee ee ed ; and that a delinquent of web n ia g l ' i"L e e if toting not be let loose on the world, without ' e i so me exeiee some atonement to o ff ended justice, ank restting, le:1(110'4 ple to society at large.
