THE REVILIV. A fourth edition of Mr. M'Arthur's interesting work, entitled' Finunrial Faat of the' Eighteenth and present Century,. hag just been pub. fished. On a former occasion we reviewed the third edition, and gave Occasionallrlxtraels frOM his Comparative Estimates of the Revenue, Debts, Martufaitnres, and cominerce of Great Britain, at different periods during the Eighteenth Century. In the .present edition the Author has introduced many additional and recent ft is relativ.: to the pre. sent posture of affairs, and Our political relations with the Continent, on which he .has reasoned with peculiar force. The work has a degree of interest einneeted with it at.the present juncture, and con. tains:a mass of information brought int > the Small compass of an oaavo volume, with which the Public must be gratified, as we assure them we have been, on a perusal of the book. ' In the Introdklion pre. fixed to this edition, th.; Author, in animated terms, animadverts on the objets Bonaparte had in con. templation by a continuance of the late Peace. The Author-has also briefly and temperately .examiried the late Treaty of Amiens, under the three dis. tind heads requisite fur a good Peace, namely— !. Stability. x. Indemnification,. 3. Alliance:. lie makes the following observation respe4ing the War We are unavoidably involved, in, and after. wards' examines the var ious successes of our arms over France in ancient and modern times. " The Republic of krance having thrOwn down the gauntlet in the person of the First Consul, who after offering repeated insults and indignities since signing the Definitive Treaty, 'boasts that Great Britain single-handed cannot cope with France, and avows the destrudion of' our ManufaCtures and Commerce by shutting the Ports of Burge against us, We have no alternative ; our lot is cast, and we are now involved in another War with an ant bitious and revolutionary Republic. The cOntest must.be arduous, and the sacrifices to which we are . doomed to submit must unavoidably be great. .If the struggle be not terminated in one year, and Peace scatted On a firm basis, we may reasonably calculate on this renewed warfare being protrud— ed to as long a period as the last. " A War for the preservation of our rights and liberties, and when Great Britain is threatened to he made tributary to France, must impress every mind with the necessity of persevering to the last, in counteraaing the ambitious views of the Enemy. The present period is not less eventful and critical than at the beginning . of the century, when the first impression of this work was'published. Despair arid despondency then pervaded most people's'mind, to behold the, maritime strength of Europe menacing the destruetion of England's naval power. But the Spirit and patriotism of the country, were then roused (as it is to be hoped they will now, he), and: 'our energies were .most gloriously and successfally exerted." The : Author has by unswerable arguments and incontrovertible fails ' refute , l'the assertions of Same Writers, who pretend that War and the increased circulation of B,ank of England Notes have occasion. eel scarcity, and ilearne , ,s of provision's, C. In bui port of his arguments,'he has given front official documents comparative statements of the prices of Wheat at different periods in Peace and War during the two. last centuries. By taking the annual average prices for three, four, or five years of Peace, and comparing them with the annual ,average Frees of three, four, or five 'years in War, he has incontro. vertibly proved that Wheat has been invariably cheaper in War than in Peace.—llis refleitions on ,this subjed are manly and striking. " It appears evidently tO.be the efilet principally .of natural causes, and the unfavourableness of the season. It ought rdthrr. to be viewed, not as permanent evil, but as a transient event. he his. tory of all nations, particidarly in the Ea tern world, points out to us that calamities of this nature have occasionally happened,'and must be otpciled 4 and that provisions will, at particular seasons, rise in price, front natural and unforeseen causes, not. withstanding all the efforts of Ministers and Par. liaments to prevent or remedy the evil. These 'ought to be considered as the visitations of the Divinity, and as consequences, which the wisdom of m o o cannot foresee or provide against. The Qoveromenr, thetklote, ought by no means tel be blamed for not of Being impossibilities and counter. idling natural events." ltd ;very country and in all Ages, &mills and famines have occasionally happened. We find upon record that for the last hod ; .years, England has sustained her share of these calamities; and it may ur s uch an eventful period as the present, be inter. esting to the contemplative Reader to have laid be fore him, 'a few of the principal tit..:,rths and famines with :which this Country has at different tinr.s in the last 790 yeas been afiliaed, together With, the causes ‘vhien tccasioned them. 1, 0 69, , the beginning of King William the tan.: rinerpr's reign, there was:a great dearth of provi sion* thrtiugh - all Englard, especially in Nortistun. Berland and the Northern Counties. The people were glad to eat horses, cats, dogs, and human flesh ; and all the land between Durham and York lay waste, without inhabitants to cultivate, the . ground for the space of nine years. , This was occasioned by. the Normans hakring laid waste so much of England soon after the Conquest. Hence a just inference may be drawn, namely, that . a recurrence of siMilar calamitous CVCIIS might be dreaded,. shoug ever Bonaparte succeed in the threatened Invasion and Subjugation of Great Britain. • ,Sooner than ,a flou'ishing ,Kingdom should be o t posed to the pillage o. a7rapactous Conqueror, and thereby made a dreary wave, n.c ; v ..v;.ng a tr a i n of canines similar to those we have just noticed', an d to which eventually it might be subjet—would it not be a..th0u. , , , 11 times ,preferable . for ,every • Tatra bit,ll)N t g w i th . a 501',1c of Patna tiom for his Uonntry, 19,mulAte the glorious biopic of I,f,!ollidilti arid I,ii,Chosen B an d, at t h e Bat. tie o f Ti m .nnopyhe;, antioli,ke this brave General, resolve either. to Congiter an invading Foe, or to to the last llat;,irthe attempt of defending his .Itry. LONDON; Printed by PAIC At the SurieUrrlci EXETER ASSIZES. PERJURY. FACEY AND OTIIEIks against WILLMENr. Tits Was a Cause tried at the lait Assizea for the County of Devon, attended by many circum. stances of the most complicated perjury. It was Instituted by three. persons of Combinartin, in De. yonshire, to recover a suns of a Mr. Willment, of Taunton, the possession of the property of the late' Quatro. Adams, so well 'ktiown a few years back in the North of Devon. The, Plaintiffs.who are men of inferior rank in life, but related by blood to Mr: 'Adams, and whose cause was supported by many .Genflemen in 'their neighbOnibood, claimed under a certain deed, said to have been executed by - Mr. Adams on August 9th; 1797, whereby he had given all his real and personal property, to be possessed 'after hii decease, to is sister who lived' at Comb martin, and after her to be divided between the said three Plaintiffs, and their heirs, executors, Sic.— This deed was also said tohave been executed with the most formal ceremonies, 'in the preaencc of a number of witnesses, three of whom attestod the execution. Two spoons delivered as possession of the personal, and a turfeut as livery of seisin of the real property. The deed was said to have been delivered by Mr. Adams tOjiis sister, and by her sacredly preiefved till after the decease of Mr. Adams in Odober 1799. It then came forward to the world. The sister,• Mts. Staddon, and the Plaintiffs set up their claim. elle latier called on Mr. Leigh„of Craddock, to procure no investiga tion into the affairs of Mr. Adams, who discovered that he had made:a Will at Taunton ' a few days be. rote his .decease, the Executor in which who was also devisee, in trust, had proved" the Will, and entered into possession of the Estates. Some months after .this, the Plaintiffs called on Mr. Leigh with a paper purporting to be a copy of the said d ee d, for his opinion : soon after the orginal was pro. duced to, and left with him. Mr. Leigli,'susped. iog from the difference in the several representa. tiuns of ,their case, that the deed was a forgery, held the original on that ground..;l An Attorney of Barnstaple was shortly after called on to prepare a Power of Attorney from the Claimants to a Gentle. man of the neighbourhood, enabling him' to prose„ cute their claim against, 'and settle the disputes with Mr. Willment, who had so possessed, himself oldie oroperty Under Mr. Adams's last Wilt. The ex treme age of Mrs. Staddon, the sister, damped the proceedings, and the cause lay by till-Mrs. Stad. don's decease, in March t Sot . The Plaintiffs hay. ing parted with the deed, which Mr. Leigh so de.. tanned on the • suspicion of its being forged, and thinking it the best means of getting possession of the property, entered on some of the estates, cut , timber, mowed grass, &c. : for this they wire ap. prehended'on the prosecution of Mr. Willment, and, gave security to appear at , the . next Devon Sessions, where they were indiaed by Mr. Willment for a .forcible entry and rnisderneanour.• At the Sessions they called, with some Gentlemen of their neigh borhood, on - . Mr. Terrell, ,to.traverscAlie,lndia.. !bent, which was dope. A copy of .the deed, with evidence of its execution written and signed, having been newly modelled by the witnesses, and sent by post to him. 'Thai it newly modelled appears. by a former statement of their evidence given to a Gentleman of Barnstaple, wherein they said the deed was executed the latter end of August. As the trial of the Indiament could not deter mine the•right to the . property, and as the deed was out ,tif the Plaintiffs' hands, it was necessary the: Indictment should he removed into the Bench.--This was done, and- the Court, moved, and a rule made for -delivery of the deed to •the, Clerk of.the Peace for Devon, to be produced on the trial of the indiament, and of an ejeatnent commenced for the trial of the right to the real estate. Whether this deed was ever executed by Mr. Adams remains aqloulit :: that it was attempted , to be proved by the aid of perjury is evident. The evidence of the two 'Surviving , Witnesses to the deed, signed by them, .was sent by letter to Mr. • Terrell more than six months before the trial, which , was so circumstantial and clear, and those men on repeated examinations so perfect acid so certain in the representation of the execution of the deed by Mr. Adams, and even in the most trifling occur. rences attending, it, that it was i mposs ibl e to on , pea the , troth of their description ;.--they saw Mr. 'Adams come to Combrttartin on the Bth or 9th. ofi, August, 1797 ; that they remember it so exaelly because rt was, the Parish revel week ;, that he brought the rough draft of the deed and a ,stamp for the same with him ; that he procured a Scribe there; that,this Schoolmaster copied it on the stamp by his order.; that he perused the copy attentively, signed it, sealed it (with a thimble), delivered: it with, an address full of legal language to his sister, the words , of which were well remem-' betcd ; that he delivered her ,two spoons that Mr. Adams,, his sister, the said two witosses, and the third (n o w-d eceas ed) went toge. ther ;i to a field near, where Mr. Adams cut up a turf; „Iris sister returned it to its place : Mr, Adams repeating the words he spoke on the first delivery: of the deed ; gave,his sister balf.a.guinea, , and so on - thaoughout the whthle ceremony so. extremely exalti and in each particular separately. so correct, that it either must have been a , well studied fabrication of perjury, or a simple description of the ceremonies of an aaual le al formality —To confirm the evidence of the two former persons, two others deposed, that they oov Mr. Adams at Combinartin on the very .day, executing that very deed, in eomp : i n y w i t h t h e ober witnesses, it) the house where the deed was signed, and, ill the field cutting . the turf . . As though the Cvidence of tour persons was not . Safiw eient to prove that -vlr. Adams, on the 9tli of Au. gust 1797, was at Combmnartin executing the deed, the fifth witne's's was added, to prkive, that he was at the viii gc can the day, arid. who saw 'him coming from the field with the 'witnesses. 'Surely the mind will he relieved from all doubt, when a sixth'witness gives in writing, signed, that he saw Mr, Adams come to the inn in Combmat'tir);' put hia horse in - the stable ; received of him 6d. ; was qiiiitioned of him who in the village could copy writings; &c.

All these-witnesses agreeing as to the hour .of the day, and why they knew ' it was that day--the dress —the words--the very net ions ofMr. Adams.' And to rivet still stronger on the mind the credit of all 'this mass of evidence, a seventh Vitiiess in writing, signed, deposed, that she had often heard Mr. Adams say he intended to make, such deed, and in September t 797, heard him say that he had' made such deed, :conneeted with a number of circum. stances which gave the relation all the,appearance of truth. Against or either of wham no charge criminal or immoral . can be brought to undervalue their evidenee.:, lhese Witnesses not only . gave their evidence in' writing to be copied on the Brief,- but passe(l.many 'examinations before - the trial , some trifling particulars they differed, but as to the day, the hour; the manner olexecution, the former six' were most positively exatl,' giving each a se. parate reason for such certainty as to the day, &c. But Providence seemed 'determined to baffle their plan, and develope • this, systemised perjury. The Plaintiff'? Agent had inquired at the Stamp-Office if the Stamp upon the Deed was the proper one for the,. 9th of August, 1797, and had been informed it was of the proper value. Yet, at the trial,,after the Plain., tiff.party had .made ,out its case, formed on this false foundation, the Defendant ; pvlduceil a Witness. with a book from the Stamp-Ofiice, whieh prov'ed that the die of the Stamp on the Deed entered the Office on the 1611 t of August, and not before, though by the ASR of Parliament ordered to take place, from the Ist of August ; of course no such Stamp could have been issued from the Stamp. Office until' the thth Of August, which at once satisfied the Cotirt and Jury that a Deed with that Stany, said to love, been executed on the 9th, must he a forgery, or, the witnesses swearing that the 9th of 'August was the day of its execation, must be guilty of perjury. A verdict was acccl-dingly given in favour of the Defendant. The following is part of a very sensible and truly patriotic AdOresi from the-Presbytery of.Ghiszow. '' The state Of,the . CMintry is confessedly alarm ing. An ;Olive, powerful, and enterprising Enemy, who spOrtS with the property, the liberty, and the livei of torn, has daringly avowed his determination of invddilig and desolatingbur land. For this pur-, pose prepriitions of the most formidable nature are . alually cltrying on in every port •and creek of the Continent, where h . is arbitrary domination and in fluenceextend. These have given- rise to counter preparations of unexampled magnitude throughout thislmp'erial Kingdom. The contest is for all that is dear to us as Blitons. Union of heart and mind amongst all.ranks of 'the Community is quite indis. penSitile—public spirit is in this perilotis moment . the chief cardinal virtue: " At such a, crisis, true patriotism will outrun the commands of Government, and will prompt individuals, as well as colledive bodies, instead of cat Ching at immunities, to volunteer such services as are suited to their station and abilities. The Presbytery therefore apprehend, that as the wisdom of'GOvernment.has exempted Ministers from the toils of war, and from the unavoidable expcnce and inconvenience of leaving their families and oc cupations,, or of finding substitutes, jus t ice and patriotism demand from Ministers something equi valent and congenial to their protession. ‘‘ The benefiCenee Of Government has sufficiently pros, , Lied for the support "of, the famifies . of those who arc employed in defending the Nation ; but there may be children in theie f am ili es w h ose edu cation is in danger of being tlegleded during the absence of the fatheri guard against this appears to the Presbytery a matter of very great importance, both in a civil and religious view. They thitAc it peculiarly becoming the Ministers of the Gospel to COmc forward at thtscritical jundure, and say to those Who are figh t i ng for their King and Countryi " The deafest interests of your chit.... dren shall not be negleded."
