TO ILIE 'EDITOR OF I .I'HE SUN. . - • - Sitt,- . -When 'Engla-nd is so - ifeeply interet?ed in 'the long and arduans struggle she has made, in 'otd-er to - hbtairra safe and honourable peace, With , 'a fflll' prOpe'ct of durability, the general semi - Inuits' of .the people ought to Lave great weight inthe political,scale. Before we had "expended 'so Much Of our aChi'est blood, and exhansid so much of our treasure, and while the Usurper of the throne of France was in the tenith of his power, it,might have been prudent to have treated 'with mina for peace, if it could have been done without vital sacrifice ; especially when all the Potentates on the Continent wereeither.subdued, fearful of making farther attempts to recover the balance of power. But, Sir, when the state of affairs are so glo riously changed, and the Usurper is at his last gasp, ought we not to proscribe him as a monster, unfit for human society, and' stop that deluge of blood he has caused to flow for the last twenty years. Aie the tears of thousands of widows and otphans, whose husbands, fathers, and brothers lave been forced to the field to slay and be slain, never to • cease flowing Is the- monster to be again left in power, to be reVenged on all those within his future grasp'? Will any one deny that his ambition is not changed by adversity or by peace ? No ! be assured he will rise in tenfold ar mour, when. supported by tour litindred thOusand of his best slaves, no& prisoners of war. What firust all . the smaller powers of Germany, who leagued in the Confederation of: the Rhine, ex pect, if BUONAPARTE - is suffered to keep Iris usurped seat on the throne Of France - ?' Have they riot been deceived in the prOspects of their great Allies, and what must-be their-feelings upon 'the impending negotiations for peace with the insa tiable '4'yrant. Sir, the peace of Europe must be sealed by theblood of that assassin, or we entail upon all nations increased misery. These are .the sentiments, I will venture to af firm; of nine-tenths of the people of this country; what then must be the feelings of those who have borne testimony of the devastation of , lives and property caused by the Despot of France ? If it, was politically necessary for-Austria to sacrifice a' lamb as a peace offering, let her nobly.consider it as a necessary say ifice for the gocid of her peo ple ; aiitt if..the altar is stained. by the blood of that lamb, let Austria exult in the sacrifice, ra ther thancomproMise her liontntr; for iris better that one should perish, than thousands should be put to dicath by the sword of revenge. • It has been asked, what the Allied Powers are to dq-but treat with the Usurper for peace, since not a single white cockade has been hoisted in France ? In God'S.naine how could 'it, under existing cir cumstances, be expected ? Let me ask, if any of the smaller States of Germany would have joined the Allies, if they had been permitted to stand neutral ? Policy must have dictated such a xuea. sure, unless a full aiisurarice That the Allies had determined on nothing short of hurling the Tyrant front the throne he , has usurped. The same policy actuates the slaves of the conquered Provinces of. France : they are not compelled to take up arms to assist in the sacred cause, and therefore peaceably await -the awful result of the contending armies. Would it not be the haight of folly and madness, under the impressions made by the Pro clamations of the invaders, and with the know ledge that a negotiation with BUONAPAIITE is at this moment carrying on, for the conquered Pro vinces, 'or even individulls, to have hoisted the white cockade, when, front appearances, peace with the Tyrant will, spedily terminate the pro'. gress of the Allied arms ; the Conquerors retrace their steps, and leave the slaves of France iden tically hi die abject state intp which the Revolu tion plunged them, without the smallest hope of redemption.. If the Allied PoWers had spoken an undisguised language; if they had magnanimous ly declared to the people . of France, that. they ac tnally invaded their country for 'the purpose of li berating .them from slavety.: if the wretched in habitants had been fairly told that Europe would nodonger sutler the Tyrant to govern them, and again become the scourge of mankind, and desir ed them to shoos-e. Ruler, then whits cockades and white flags in abundance would have pro claimed the sentiments of :oppressed Frenchmen. if the family of the unfortunate BOURBONS have been incited, or even sanctioned,- at the head quarters of the Allies. (as we must suppose), how is it that not one of them have publicly appeared in conquered France by Proclamation ? Is it thus all energy is lost-in that-royal-blood by lengthen ed misfortunes, which have stink them into per fect apathy ; or are their inaction to. be attributed to mysterious political. restraint, that prohibits the appeal of a legitimate Sovereign to his People ? If this last be actually the cast, is there no indi vidual of that degraded family bold enough to Independently assert their right in their native soil,, hoist the ancient Standard of France -as a rallying point for their friends, and invite the population to hurt the-Despot frOm the throne, to answer for the murder of one of their august Funnily ? These are the points, Mr. - Editor,. on which the good people of England wish to be informed, and as I admire your. patriotic sentiments upon the great and vital question now at issue, I trust you will give,those.of your Readers who may be better informed on the'snbjCift 2 the means of re- : lievitig our torttired minds from dreadful suspense,. by giving .this a place in your valuable Paper. Frenchmen have *lways been ' , governed by a. rod of iron. To emancipate themselves from 'a' wretched state, they gragped .at, the shadow 6f.' liberty, and- forged their own fetters 'of sl avcr y;_.L._ The 'revolution •lert the people - it 'hutch . . worse condition.';han before---a just .puhishinent for their extreme licentiousness and ilop;icaliclid cruelties.

I'cannot conclude .Without assuring von, Mr. .Editor, that I most heartily subSeribe to .the reso•-• lutions passed at the Thatched House, and sin cerely wish similar resolutions emanated from similar meetings throughout the kingdom ; for I am greatly deceived if it is not .almost the unani mous opinion, that no treaty sheluld be made with BUONAFA RTE, lnitlhat the Peopti of Vrance should be treated with, and powerfully/aided in tilt glo rious work of dethroning the Usurper, I ant, Sir, your most obedient Servant, TUUSTICUS. LAw INTSLLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, MAR'cii 10. GALLINI V. GALLINI. The motion in this case, by which the defend ant, -Mr. Gallitti, sought to have his two children delivered over into his .custody,_ standing over to thii day, the mother, accompanied by the 'chil dren, and also the other parties , interested, at tended in Court. . Str S43IUEL ROMILLY stated to his Lotdsh;p, that he umlerstood an affidavit had been filed on the part of the plaintiffs this morning. If that affidavit wet e meant to. be used, the case must stand over till to-morrow, in order to enable his client to see, it, and, if neeessaq, to answer it. Mr. HART said be was instructed, on the part of Sir Edward rerrcitt, to state how much that Gentleman felt- hurt at the representation which had been made tq his Lordship, of an improper in terference baying taken place on his part, with the view of obAructing the service of the process of that High Court. Ile begged tn assure his Lordship that nothing could have been more re-. mote front his intention, and he 'felt extremely hurt that conduct should have been_ imputed to him so unbecoMing his situation in life: WAT-KiNs, Solicitor for the defendant, said he had affidavit stating exactly the contrary. Sir S. RomiLLY had no objection to the motion standing over, the other party undertaking to have the children in Court at the that!, the motion should come on. The LORD CHANCELLOit Suggested the propriety of fixing the hour, that ,the mother and children might not be kept waiting all day in Court, as they had ; been on the present occasion. Mr. H . AHT submitted if Mr. Watkins,' on pe rusing the affidavit now filed, should find that it Wofild be necessary for him to answer it, that it would be proper in him immediately to coMinuni cote that fact to his (Mr. [tart's) client, that the mother_ and children in this case might not he . subjected to the - necessity of attending till such time as the•motion was ready for discussion. Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY, understanding that Mr. Watkins deemed it indiiipensible, from the nature of the affidavit filed, as its contents had been ge nerally imported to him, that an answer should be made to it, proposed that the matter 'should lie over to this day se'nnight, the other party un dertaking to produce the children in Court on that thy. Mr. Flutr had no objection to this, Mr. \Vat. kins givitag to his clients copies of such officio vits as he should file in answer, or putting th em on the file in such time as to afford tohis clients an opportunity of taking copies of the affidavits, and replying to them, if they thought proper.. H e was instructed to say that there was every dispo sition, on the part of his clients, to have th e whole matter in dispute brought fully under the eye of his Lordship. Sir, S. ROMILLY said that di4iosition had al ready been fully shewn in the conduct of Mr. Hart't clients hitherto. Tile motion accordingly stands' for this day se'n night. , THE ASSIZES. READING, WEDNZSDAY, Mmica 9, IEI4. WHATMAN V. WHATMAN. This was an issue, directed out, of the Court of Chancery,' for trying- the sanity 'or insanity of a , person of the name of Robert Whattnah, deceased. -It appeared that the person, the soundness or unsoundness of whose mind was the question at issue, had acquiced certain estates by the wills of his mother and of his aunt, and had also suc ceeded to certain other estates, held by his mother in fee simple, as heir at law to her. These estates, amounting in the whole to about 50 acres of land, Rt. Whatman, in the year 1785, sold to another person., also of thename of Whatman,but in nowise related to him, for the sum of 1101. and for an annuity of 52 guineas a year, or one guinea per 'reek, to be paid to him during his life. Robert Whatman died some y:ars. ago, and the present plaintiff, his brother and heir-at-law, filed a bill in equity against the son and representative of the purchaser from Robert Whatman, and a per son of the name of Dickenson, who had acquired right to'part of the property from Miamian, the original purchaser, seeking to set aside the whole . :(if those tranSactions,•on the ground (hat Robert Miamian, front whom the father of the present defendant had acquired the property, had during the whole of his lifetime been in a state of idiot cy or insanity„ so as to render him incapable of Making A valid sale or conveyance of his estate. The trial attic issue which the Lord Chancel lor ha`d direeted for settling this point, cowmen eed OnTuesday, went on during the whole of that dav', reconimenced-on the Wednesday morn- - ing, and lasted till, past ten at night. On the part of, the plaintilf," — about 'forty wit= nesseswere examined, all of whout swore to a variety Ofiacts and cie.eurnstances in the conduct and, helmsiourof Robert Whatmaa, going-to spew idiotic o, excentricity; or insanity in, all his ac. , . They swore!hat be 4 . b. - S in the constan'. hAbit of t,-eitink nneo‘nTheeted and unmeaning sett t-4Aices, with chalk, OH the flooti or on the walls ; that he would also freqn - ently write with a pen a nnillber of Words, joined together in unconnected sentences, stiine of which were prbduced ; that his conversation Walt likerhi's writing, Silly, and ; thtit he sometimes - got himself . intOxicated, and seemed lesS an idiot when in that state than When - 'vas 'sober ; that` he was often heard to. mutter Sullen anti incoherent threats and - denunciations against-his relations; threatening, at one time, himself to kill them ; at another, time, - expressing, a conviction that they would he killed, arid that they deserved to be so; that he at one time cemceived an antipathy against a tree, and said that he would have it hanged for runningagainst ; that he would frequently boil his pork and greens in a tea-kettle, rather than in a pot or pan; and that his appearance, manners, and conduct, were always mpst beastly. For the defendants, on the other hand, the will of 'the mother, and of the aunt, of Robert What man, were given in evidence, from which it ap peared that each of these persons, ,two of his nearest relatives, and the most likely, to know whether he %vas or was-not of sane - mind, made over their estates to him, and t o the h e i rs o f hi s body. A deed executed by the present plaintiff, too, the brother of Robert Whatman, by which, in the event of Robert's sti,f ( 4iving him, he made over certain estates belonging to him, to Robert; and the -heirs of his body, was also given in evi dence ; from all of which, the Counsel for the de . • fendahts contended, it appeared that each of theSe near relations, including the present plaintiff, him self, had, o f th e d ates o f t h ose respect i ve deeds, least given thei r nit equivocal testimony to the sanity of Robert Whatman. Testiniony was also gien, by a variety of witnesses, as to his sanity from the year 1794, at which time. he lived at Ware- ' ham, do ,vn nearly tp the period of his death, though it appealed that at that time he Was much given to drinking. It.also appeared in evi dence, that the deed of assignment to the prede cessor of the tlefenclants, was prepared by a . re spectable solicitor, who had been, and still con ,tinned, the solicitor employed by Robert What man's family, The .Jury, after consulting for a considerable -time, on the Thursday morning, returled a ver dict for the plaintiff, thereby establishing the in sanity, GALLINI V. PERROTT. This case, which is an action of crim. con. brought by the plaintil against the dr. , _lenclant, thetbeing Married to two sisters, stamk over as a remnat►t, along with four or five others, till the next Assizes. CHELMSFORD, "SY.EnscsDAY, Mmicti 9. • - DOE d. wELLESLEY .This was an action or ejectment brought btu W. L. Wellesley," Esq. of ‘Vanstead against. the defendant,. George Wright, to , recover thy possession of Rochford lIalL farm, in (hit county. It appeared that a similar action had been tried at - the •last Assizes, when, from the omission of some formality, the plaintiff was non ted, Mr. MAanvAT, for the plaintiff, stated the fol lowing circumstances, which he afterwards proved defendant, Mr. Wright, bad held the farm- in question . , consisting of betwecu six and seven hundred acres, of the 'llkley Long fa mily, under a lease expired hi 181). A negociation was' 7 entered into between - the deleu- . dant. and Mr. , Bullock, who was agent for, clic:, landlord, for a renewal oft he lease, and no terms being 'agreed Upon, Mr. Bullock consented that the defendant should remain in possession for a year, at the advanced rent of, 1000 guineas, and that if he had a lease for a tfrin, the rent should be 11001. or if be remained tenant from year to year, he should pay the I`ooo guineas. Mr. Wright objected to the rent of 1100/, bnt con tinued to hold from Michaehaas, 1810, to iNli chaelmas, 1811, at the rent of 1000 guineas.— The plaintiff married Miss • Tilney Long in the early part of March, 1812, and gave a gene neral authority immediately after to • Mr. Tre beck, his steward, to give notice to all the tenants to quit their farms. A notice was accoedingly given to Mr. Wright' . to quit at the following Mi chaelmas, which he rO . nsed to do, Negotiations continued for . a lease, which came to nothing, the defendant objecting to the terms. An (Sectment was.accordingly brotight, whicth failed at the last Assizes ; but in order to he quite secure, Mr. and Mrs. Wellesley had joined in a second notice to quit, without waving the former notice. The present ejectment proceeded upon both notices ; and a case being quoted by Mr. Marryat to show that, notwithstanding the second notice, the plain tiff' was entitled to proceed upon the first also, Mr. Serjeant BEsT said, that having taken care on the part of Mr. Wright, that the plaintiff had properly proved all the Picts of his case, he could not resist a verdict against his elient.—lerdict for the plaintiff.
