ColleCtor of the Customs at the Port of Harwich; and the Defendant, a man (4 property, who having some business to trans. ot at the Custom.house, feli himself offended at the manner in which it •was done, though he should shew by his witnesses that every thing was done that could posaibly be done to,accommodoe him. How ever, when it was accomplished, he addressed the Plaintiffas follows " Pray, Sir, have you any thing Itiote to say to me P' Mr. Wordsworth replied, " he 'had not." " Then Sir, isaid he) I have something to say to you," and immediately gave him a violcnt beating, which the Learned Counsel said ' , he would rather the juiy shook! hear from the Witnesses than from himself'. Fie accordingly called four Witnesses, who proved the assault nearly as stated. It appeared that the 15e. fendant had been a seaman, and applied tespeaing the registering of a ship, of which he was then owner. A little altercation had: taken.place, and by the cross. examination of the witnessei, it was clear that the Plaintiff had, previous to the asiault, Old the De. frndant, that he bad heard he was a coward, and ad. viscd him to Inwarp of being hoese.whipped. Bur they said that Mr. Wordsworth was quite cool, and nn wayi in a Ossion ; and that when he admi. itaisteted the oath to the Dflfetcaant,Ate very - coolly turned him out of his desk (Ace, and made hint stand at the usual place.

Withers, who was a. deent-lookiiiig plain corintryman, saki Ire was walking in the lane from Layton to Laytonstone, Uhout half past five, on • the elth of May last ; he saw the Prisoner behind him, and not liking him he ran away, and the Prisoner let off running too; oiit.as the Witness was soon out of wind, and the Prisoner ran the fastest, he stopped, and asked the Prisoner what he wanted ? He replied, that he wanted some money, and he must have some. The Witness then took out a dollar, a half:crown, and, four shilling, which he gave, him. The Prisoner looked at them, and asketi• the Witness what the dollar was? He informed him it Was a new Bank rinitar... owl it to' him. They then hat% some conversation about it. The, Witness asked the Prisoner if he would not give:him a shilling back to buy a pat of ale. ' The Prisoner said, to he sure he would, and held out his hand, telling him to take one. lie did so, and they had some ,more conversation. The . Learned Judge asked the Witnessif he did not part with his money under the impression of feir ? He said not. To tie sure ..he was afraid when he ran away, hot when his wind was gone; and he stopped,. he got. his -C‘.nrage np pretty wefts The .Prisoner did not ,threaten him, arid they had a little talk together. so that 'at last he was not ai all afraid;—st Why I think," said his Lordship, '.'•you.item to.have got very good friends t" to which the Witness, with naivete replied, " - Why, my Lord, I think so too. I assure you we were trite good .friendi before I gave ltiht the Money.'"f his ansWer pro: heed a general laugh. The learned Judge imme. diately mold the Jury that they must - acquit die s vier, constittitea i6hbery die goods or money tnost be taken by , fOrce, or extorted through fear ; brie it was clear there was no force, and the Prose. cntor had said he 'did nest part with his money un; the imprerSion of ,fcar. The Prisoner was ac cordingly acquitted. Thomas Massey, a Soldier of the Third Regiment of Guards, was toditied for the murder of William Lislirna n .- It wss'stated in evidence that the Fri. saner and the deceased were. both Privates in she Third Regiment of ,Guirds - , quartered at Chelms ford. Having had - a slight difference; they lelNie barracks on Sunday, March 18, about four o'clock ; they went into igratis 'field, and fought only one round.

'the next day, the de. ceased exhibited evident marks of a fratture ie the skull, but the Surgeon c nuld not. discover at what ,part. He died in the course of the day, when, upori opening the head, it was discovered that the oil - was frselured its a mnst 'extraordinary, manner ; the blow had struck just below the eyebrow, and she fracture had extended to the interior of the skull, which was pressed , upwards upon the brain, while the exterior part of the bone remained , un: fraaured. • The CH IE F %%lota Aummed up very hornanely on Oe part of the Pri.oner.

I , er, wilfully and maliciously cut off the - hand of ,rues Clemenson. The Prisoner' Whalen was a p trole and watchman• in the pitish of West Ham. Clemenson deposed, that on the z6th clay of De, arA.-- t. ne rrisoner came in very ITludii 'and abused the witness, telling him he owed him a grudge for two years, and would pay him some time or other. He behaved so ill that he was turned out of the house.—The Prisoner, however, came hack about eight o'clock, and .then Clemenson was sit ting at the door ; the Prisoner immediately laid hold of him, and swore he would search him, for he suspeded 1)e had pistols about him. The witness said he might search if he would.-- 7 -The Prisoner said, no, he should go before the Constable. He immediately dragged the witness across the road. As the Prisoner was very drunk. he dragged the' witness about a great deal, upon which he laid hold of a rail the Prisimer immediately made a blow at him with a cutlass, and cut the hand (If, except a small piece of skin which held it. Two other witnesses confirmed this statement : one added, that the Prisoner's wife was standing by him, and that she gave him the cutlass, after Clemensor► had laid hold of the rail. The defence of the Prisoner was, that he had given the cutlass to his wife a short time before with the sheath on, and that ,When she gaveit hack he supposed it was also sheathed ; and that, with that impression on his mind,_ he struck at his hand, not meaning to do the mischief that had happened. Several Gentlemen of the County said the Pri. soner was a very excellent Patrole—that in several instances, he had behaved with_ great spirit, but never:with any excees. •.,The Jury found him—Guiliy. Satnrday, July 2 t. T}lo KING 1.). WALFOR The Defendant was indiaed on two indictments for larcenies, in taking oysters from oyster fares on the sea banks near this 'County.' The Question to be tried was, Whether it was . a larcetly or not ? On one side it was, contended; that oysters were as much guild animals irr.the sea; as sprats or herrings, and could nut be the Subjed of latcrny. It was learnedly disputed, whether an oyster had loco ma. live powers ? Some insisted he had, others he had not ; .whether moved by haying, jumping, orflow ing, was deeply considered by the advoca!es tUr his lace moths:. The other side insisted, lie lay where tumbled, and that he grew up from his being a spa/ until he was fat and fit fof London. To this was answered, how was he to be identified ? Was, he marked with a brand mark or any other ? With re. sped to their being fera natura, it was said, it did not apply to the present case, for on these oyster fares they fetched their teal e. spawn) from clic.. ferent coasts, and shot them overboard on those banks to fatten, anti therefore chase mutt be consi. ed as reclaimed and not wild:oysters. The Learned Judge having patiently heard all these deep dissertations, very shortly observed, that the Legislature by , 3 t of Geo. 111. c. 51. had made the taking of oysters from the lares a misdemeinor, and therefore, he should not rule it to he a felony. The Defendant was accordingly—Acquitted. There was one other Special Jury which was re ferred, and the .ssizes toneluded, Letters from Italy, brought by the Gottenburgh mails, mention the progress of BONAPARTE'S negoti. anion with the POP s, or rather his requisition of his Holiness to perform the Revolutionary Coronation Ceremony., Upon Cardinal Fagot-teas first mention. ing this subjea, Pius VII. referred it to the Sacred College ofeardinals, who, except FesCH 2, were una. nimbus in their advice to their Sovereign to deellite it, as no such aft has been, performed by a Sovereign Pontiff for seven centuries—and it would offend the House of Austria, as Plus VI. in 1790; refused the same demand by I.eorot.D 11. the bailer of the pre sent Eme E ROI& of GERMANY. Informed.of this an_ BoNAPARTE Wr i Ote a letter with his own hand, in the most abusive language and threatening stile, t elling t he Pops, that he owed to him alone, and to his moderation,hdth the temporal and spiritual power enjoyed by His Holineas ; that it was an insult to his glory, and to the high dignity, the Great Nation had conferral on him, only to hesitate ; and that as be had made Frenchmen again Christians, so he cold be able. to make them Musselmen, should the Jingra le ful condutt, superstitious scruples; or Ito., :sillatatmon, fears of his Holiness force him to such an •an."' In return, Pius VII. ofiered to give full power , : to Cardinal hesell R to perform oe,6it part, and in hit name, the Coronition Ceremony; a letter of recommendation from Madame BostAe ART e, the Jai. rThant Emperor's mother, accotnpanied this answer. It had, however, no other effeCi than to entaige her son the more, who wrote to t h e Pori& these few , words "We desire the Holy Father to,choose be., tween a retreat to a Convent and a journey to France. Paris, May 20, Signed NAPOI.EON."-- Copies of these transactions and letters are handed about alI over, Italy. It is said that the POPE has demanded the Mediation of Austria, and even of fered to resign ; but that his Holiness had been ad. wised, for the Peace of the Church, to submit to the circumstances of the times. General CHAR- P ENTIK R has therefore been sent to Rome t to escort the Pupa to France. The most * distressing ravages have been -occa. sioned'hy the late inundations in Silesia. In the vicinity of LOwen, the Neiss . broke down several of its - banks, and overflowing others, laid all the vil. lages and fields completely. under water. All the country from Sagau to l'*ubriclt was likewise covered ; 411 the bridges, and many houses, carried away, and rteveral entire villages destroyid: About 260 persons are said to have perished by - this dis. - aster, neat Sagan, as welt as great numbers of cattle. The town of Christianstadt experienced a similar misfortune, and the inundation of the Spree was equally terrific. At . Budissin the water rose 41 the same height as in t 552, and swept away every mill from that town to Bomisch.Einsierler. The town of Rumbary also sustained great damage ; and scarcely had , the waters retired; when a fire broke.out which destroyed most of the houses that remained. The inundation.is generally attributed to a great volcanic commotion ; as some shacks of an e. laquake .werc -felt in the environs of &dishin g and on several mountains some springs arose 'that had never been,perceived belore.' IPArtai and gave the other to his brave, snn, lava— leddin, who bad gloriously distinguished himself durink, the late severe engagement. But Gengis had four sons, lions in courage like himself, and these were placed at the head of armies vast in num bets, and ever supplied with fresh- recruits from the still overflowing tribe's of the North. Opposition from a routed and dispirited army was utterly fruit. less. Otrae, though it had been recently strengthen ed with a body of no less than 60,000 troops, after a,desperate resistance. of -five in,ntlis,, fell beneath the vigorous assaults of his sons Ottai and Zega. thai. 'Thesubjugation of the other great 'cities lying on or near the jarcarre.i, particulatly the celebrated and well tortified City of Cogenda, situated in about the lat. of 41. 25, ,was committed to his eldest sun Tushi and it must be owned, that if the besiegers spewed Invincible courage in assailing, the be. I sieged, in every instance, resisted with an ardour and an obstinacy that evinced equal loyalty to their Prince, and love of their cinnitry. Bot the 'chit reward of unsuccessful valour was not allotted to the unfortunate Charazmians by the ungenerous Mo 'gills. After being despoiled of their property, they were generally led forth to be butchered in cola blood, without distindion of either age or sex, by their savage conquerors, who, tinder the pretext a avenging the outrage and murder at Otrar, seemed to delight in shedding torrents of Mohammedan blond—unconscious of pity, and callous to all le- MOISf.

Triumphant orireverY field where his banners had hitherto been displayed, they represent to us the Emperor of the Moguls as ,-content with his large `acquired moiety of divided'Asia, as anxious to cul.: tivate friendship and commetcei with the Charati. mian Monarch ; as sending successive Ambassao, dors to announce those friendly sentiments, and con. firiniOg . tbem by aoaple presents of the richest pro. dudions of his country.. The -stern, suspicious, uno accommodating nature:of° the Sultan, led .hiM to cori. Sider those presents as snares, and those Ainhaasadors as spies. His haughty said brooked not a rival, ewe. cially an infidel rival; and secretly, meditating that dreadful blow which, though it convulsed Asia, and plunged myriads Of human beings into the abyss of eternity,olle - seemed to think deserving of the great Mohammed, in the full career and .confidence of vi Cory, to strike. The specks of insult which. he offered to Gengis, was of a nature never to be for. ;gotten or forgiven. In every age, and among file most barbarous people, the charader o( an Ainbas % sador, the image of obe Sovereign, has ever been held sacred. 'The attestation and murder, by his order, of three Ambassadors and a caravan of peace. able Merchants atiOtrar, instantly became the bloody signal of a war interminable, tmeatingaishable, but by the death of one or of, the other of the royal champions., Called 'upon by fresh Ambassadors, dispatched by the policy of Gengis to demand an explanation of the fad, the Sultan returned no 9;her answer than a repititon of the airing crime ; ,and the heads Of three. other noble Moguls, sever: ed by the sabres of his attendants, while vering their master's commands, -stained with.blood the foot of the throne of the.perfidious tyrant. Gen, gis, on receiving this 'intelligence, in the fury and anguish of his heart, is • said 'to have separated_ him. self for three dayti and three nights, from his family, and during that space, to have 4evoutly supplicated the assistance of heaven againt a monster black with so many crimes. It is added, but by. a Chris. tiaohistotian (Abulfarajius), that on the third night, a person in the habit of a Christan Monk appeared j to him in a dream, and encouraged him to fear not, but instantly lead his troops to battle ; a relation justly rejeded by his, mare modern biographer, as unworthy a Christian Monk, anti the God of Chris. tianity. The spirit that incited Gengis to arms was the dmmon ambition, anti the vision which he be. held was the vast and beautiful landscape of Southern Asia, full of noble cities, abundantly stored . with the costly articles of. luxurious commerce, reciprocal among various and distant nations,.. that had-grown rich under the protedion of the more peaceable Sul. tans of the Gaznavide and Seljuk dynasties. Though plunder amf aggrandizement were the real, the pri, ma ry objet} of Gengis ; yet the murder of his Ambas. sailors was a theme'on which he negleded not to ex. patiate in terms of 'the warmest anti bitterest invec. live ; impelling in a hold and manly strain of chi. quence, the fire. and vengeance that glowed in his own bosout to those of his 'sons and his courtiers. The battalions of .his immense army were instantly put in motion ; the arms of the common men wets the sabre, the bow, the quiver full:of arrows, anti the battle-axe. All the officers of this army were clothed in complete suits of mail, and their horses also wore breast.platei of iron, anti other defensive armour,' impenetrable by the arrows of the enemy. The Positive order of Gengis was, that every man should fight in his own station till he conquered or fell the flight of individuals or of single squadrons, was to be punished with instant death, by their nearest comrades. By a singular' law of the military code of Gengis, it was ordained, that if ten commanders at the head of their combined squadrons, the whole army being 'divided Into bodies regulated by that number,should think it necessary to retreat, they were at liberty to do so ; but•sin tiler pours, icy a retro. - grade - moverttentOrushed only , on inevitable dest:uc.: Lion. In this manner desciplinedand- armed, .the solitiers of Gengis, under' the c.anmand of himself anti his four, valiant sons, - marched forth to battle, and On a reviesti:prearious 'to the engagement, were found to consist of noless 01.46 seven hundred thou.. sand men ; men, says the historian;, of an athletic make, of high.braced vigorous ' sinews, impatient for anion, breathing nothing b °and blood yet though fiery, perfedly obediefflr to their Prince ; Men, who, unlike the dainty Moslems, could. ban_ quct on any kind of food, wolves, bears, and dogs ; tnen able to britife the rigours of every climate, and soundly slumber on a' bed of flint. Mohammed, without terror, heard from his scouts the details of , their :.umber arid ferocity.— He considered these savage, hordes as utterly desti. lute' of all true military science - , and as unable to . Stand before the veteran Conqueror, of Persia, who had triumphed over the bravest Nations of arid: who themselves amounted to 'four hundred thousand lighting men, being the flower of the warlike re. giuns dispersed over the domains of this mighty Prince in Iran, Transoxiana, Chtirasan, and all the° vast frontier of Western India.. The terrible con.' ctission of two such immense armies can be better Conceived than described. It took place, accord.' ing to Le Croix, at Karaku, near Otrar, north of the river jaxartes, in A. H. 6 is, .or A. D. 1218, a ,memorable epoch in Eastern Annals, being the date of the first grand irruption, of the Moguls' anti Tartars into Southern Asia, and with such intense fury did the battle last, that the darkness of the night tilone separated the contending A imies. The ensuing morrodiscovered a sight horrible to humanity, one hundred sand sixty thousand Charazmians, and' a still- more numerous body of Moguls, wellexing in an ocean of human blood. • A dreadful pause en. sued ; die Charazmion Army retired within its lines, where for some days it remained strongly Wrenched, to avoid the hazard,nf surprize from the Moguls,. and at length a retreat before so potent and still numerous an Enemy was resolved upon, and effeded. All the considerable cities and strong, holds of Charazot and Transoxiana wore powerfully reinforced with fresh troops , ; and the Snitaty hoped to Ward. at least", if not to weary our, the Mogul Emperor, by the length of tedious sieges, and the d e sultory harassing attacks of a large flying army of
