SITTING OF THE 6TH INST, The Order of the Day being read for taking into consideratiOn the Treaty with Naples, ,• MoNo ES proposed the - adoption` of the Treaty, and in the courseOf his speech took . an• opportunity of pronouncing an eulOgium upon 'DU t.o NI I EU., The motion fOr the adoption of ;the Treaty was agreed to by 77 yokes against The next - s - übjed . that came under discussion was The Treaty with Russia. ' -- COsins addressed the Tribunes.—He said, that the league of Kings, which hid for' its object the huMbling, 'and perhaps the partition of France, had been diisolved by her arms. The Powers of the Continent had been accustomed' to See the Terri. tories of the RepUblic augMented by Savoy, by the Compte of Nice, by the Bishopric of Porentrue, and by the rich Country situated betiveen our • anci- •• ent FrOntieri and the Rhine. They had seen a Republic arising in the heart of - Italy, under the protetlion Of France. The Get-Manic Body pressed FianCe'to becOine'the arbitress of the innumerable interests by which they were divided,L-In this un exampled state of ptosperity, every thing promised a glorious and solid Peace, bacoui Government did not know how to make it, they lost time in disput_ ing about minutia;, when they ought to have hasten tened to conclude the Peace-. The Councils of the Cabinet of London were then direded : by violent Men, who have recently declared in' Pailiainent that • the general pacification overwhelmed 'them with despair. Those. Ministers,' alarmed at seeing France and England. singly engaged, endeavoured to prevail upOn theofher POWers Of the Continent to renew the 'War. Her first manceuvres'were di. • reded against Russia : 'CATHARINE, who had only assisted the Coalition With . Manifestoes, no longer exMed;' and the English Agents easily prevailed upon'her Successor to declare Wat'against us. His Army, in conjundion•tvith• the ''Austtians,-'in' one Campaign, drove us from Italy, notwithstand. standing'the most gallant faittance. The Russian Army then passed into Switzerland; where it 'was not equally successful ; it retreated into Germany, • and afterwards retistried • home. About this time intelligence was-received that the Porte had' con_ eluded a Treaty with the General of;-the French Army in Egypt. The English Government, however, • questioned the right Of The Porte to treat for the re covery of one o its own Provinces, and' aanally demanded, as the price of its 'compliance, that Alexandria, the key- to Egypt, should 'be 'put into theii hands ; afterwards appropriated Malta to themselves, notwithstanding the • Treaties with the EMPEROR PAut... The fate of War had thrown 8000 'Russian' Prkoners into - our handS - , which the First Consul restored to 'their- Country without ransom. This At of courtesy' had a strong effect upon the mind of PAUL, who soon after declared LiMself if the head of the Northern League, for the purpose of giving freedom to the Seas. 'The period W:is approaching when the Eng.: lish were abok to-be attacked in those distant pos sessions frOm which she draws her riches, with whiclishe periodically disturbs the peace of Europe.' The battle off Copenhagen was about 'to be expiated when PAVL died, and . saved the English 'from' the greatest danger in which 'they were ever placed.— NeverthelesS Negotiations "were : opened 'between this Country and RUsiia,' the'Tieaty. which is now submitted to yoUr coniideratiOn was `signed, which restores harmony- between thetwO Countries, and until a' Treaty of Comnierce - is signed, hings are put upon "the same' footing that they were before the War, as far as can be done. Our relations Withituslia before the War ; were founded Upon the Treaty of : 1757, which placed us in the list of the most favoured Potvets. It is however, to be wished, that the expression, " as far as it can be done," had been more explicit. • The Article which stipulates, that this Treaty shall be common to the Batavian Republic, proves the good faith of France,. to her Allies. , The next - Subjett . which COSTA& proceeds to ex ' amine, is an expression in the Treaty, viz. French Subjelis. This 'expression he considers as im properly applied to the Citizens of France.=-He acknowledges, that the Writers upon the Laws of Nations 'and the Grammariaris always used the word ." Subject" indiscriminately, whether applied , to a RepubliC br a Monarchy. But, in point Offaa, the expreksion waS not meant to apply - to the French CitiZens, but merely to . the Emigrants.. Immediately after his accession, PAut. had shewn' that he' took a - very strong interest in' the af fairs of the Emigrants, and' had even called the Chief of thern into his dominions. - When the negociarion took place between the two :Powers, . the French demanded that he should withdraw his proteCtion from the Emigrants ; alter some negociationi tip'dn' this *point,. the• Emperor of Russia agreed to onr-demand, :and the only ,difficulty that remained was hoW to describe the Emigrants ; at length the word rribjeti 'appeared 'to be' the only one that was' fir to use:' The Otatoi 'then proceeded to spew, that this Treaty had 'rendered 'our situation more adanta geous, as far . arrelated to - the concluson of a ge.: neral Peace. The Vein"' was - then agreed-to. The tribute paid by America to the Bey of Tri poli, as the price ofTeate, is slated to be 500,060 dollars in advance;` and 400,000 annually.

COURT OF' KING 4 s BENCH; 15gc: , ri SITTINGS BEFORE_, Mt Jt`STICE LE IIL?tNC GUILDHALL, LONDON, 12. SCHOOIANG AND OTtrEaS V. WINDER. THIS was an Adior upon a Bill of Exchange for 3661: 17s, dated the 18th May, tBOO, at three months, payable to the Order of J. Bowser, accepted by the-Defendant, and - indorsed by Bow ser, and paid by him to the Pl a i nt iff s , f or a vaiu - able consideration: - Mr. ERSKIt openeA the case for tile Plaintiff's. He said, they were I\4cl - chant's' in the City, anct became the Holders of the Bill in qUestion, for a valuable consideration, which, he belieVed was nor, as he was sure it could not be, dispUted: The Defendant was an iron founder; in LaMbeth - -: Road. He should prove, to. the satisfaaiOn of Jury,, that P. J. Bowser, the DraWer, and Indorser of this• Bill, accepted - as it was by the Defendant, had been in the course of drawing Bills' on thi s Defendant to a very large amount, there being large concerns between . theth in trade. IVIr Bow- ser was the Drawer of the Bill in question : he was the Indorser of it ; there were other respthable names upon the Bill, and if siecessary, he ,could prove the whole history of, the Bill in the bands of the subse quent, Indorser, but that the Plaintiffs were the Holders of it "for a - valuable co ns id er a t io n , was a ll that was necessary in this cause.' The Defednant, he understood, but he hoped he was.misinstruaed„ meant to enter. upon a 'defence, the whieh, if he Persisted in, would i.e mot in jurious to him : if lie went on with the Dei7ence; which, he 'was told i . L he' meditated, he might as Well publish an advertisement that there was an end put to his trade; for if he was the Acceptor of this of'ExChange„ and had sent it into the world as hii acceptance, .upon the faith of which the Pfaintiffs had adviinces their property, and then turned round, and denieliat acceptance, calling. it a forgery in the face s";st a a Court of Justice, kn o wi ng , as we ll h e i must, that if "was his acceptance, he must be one of the most Wicked of ma n ki n d, H e hoped no such case would be entered into,. on the part of the De. fendant. - He should pause a moment to observe, whether his" Learned Friend; Mr. PARK, the Coen .sel for; the Defendant, should intimate to the .con. trary ; [Here Mr. ERSKlNEpaused for a nitiment, 'and then proceeded] but as his Learned Viisott made him no answer, he took it for granted, aids .. Was the defence whiCh was to be set tkp. - -,/t - .,•A'S, therefOre, necessary kr him to take a Coilis&2dit:. %latent froM 'that which otherwise he should follo w in the .condua of such a cause as'this, because, ordi narily speaking, it would„be sufficient to prove the hand-writing of the Acceptor, and that the Plain tiffs . were the flolders : for a valuable,Consideration. He understood, he Should prove, to the pert e'd sa tisfadian of the Jury, every thing that was neces. sary to overset this defence. The first obkdicti that was made to this Bill, .was,. that it was de fe&ive in the Stamp, when it was refused payment. There was not then a whisper that the acceptance was a forgery. The idea then started, fvas, only that the Defendant was not bound to pay it, because the Satnp . waS not a legal one. There were two Stamps upon the Bill, the one was adapted to a Bill of this amount, : at,the time of its date, which was the ISth Of Allay, aot, which was that of zs. Bd. The Bill, however, wa s n ot d rawn on the day it bore date, but at a subsequent period, and ante. dated, and the reason of it was, that it was given in lieu of another Bill to the s,une amount, accepted • , by the same person s 'but which was not sent out into the. world, but cancelled, and this given in its ste ad, with a further time toruti before it became due, and therefore this had, addition to the zs. Bd. the Stamp of is. 4.d. which was required by At of Parliament, to.take place .on the 6th of June fol. lowing, and it would have been •a fraud upon the Revenue, if this Bill had been sent into the world without this additional Stamp. > Taking the Bill, therefore, according to its date, the Bth of May, the first Stamp of 25 ? 4d. was legal. Taking it ac,: . cording to the time of issuing it out, the additional Stamp of is. 4.d. was necessary to make it , legal, and so it had both. If he could not prove that the Defendant was the Acceptor of this Bill, the Plain; tiffs, although Holders of it for a valuable consider., ation, had no.case ;• but , if he should prove it, as most unquestionably he should, he Would advise the Defendant, if he was within hearing, to beware how he attempted to set up this defence he meditated, Mr. Browser was in the course of drawing Bills on the Defendant. He drew a Bill of the same deno. urination as this Bill, which was cancelled, and this given in . its stead, and the Defendant might say, that, Bowser had aled very improperly to. wards him in their transa&ions—as between Bow ser and the Defendant that either might be true, or false, but what was that to the Plaintiffs, who were Holders for a valuable Consideration,'without notice of Fraud, of the Bill accepted by the Defendant ? AS, to his surprise, the Defendant was 'now to say, 'this acceptance was a forgery, ' he should not content himself with prOving the hand,writing'of the. Defendant, by a Witness or two, in the usual Manner, but he should call a number of Witnesses, most respedahlepersons, who would all swear to the hand-writing of the Defendant, in the only way in which the - hand,Writing o 1 any person could be proved Persons who had long been acquainted with the Defendant in the way of trade. The course which the Defendant was to take in this' cause, the • . Jury'wduld observe, ':was that of imputing a capital Felony to a person 'in whose faVour the Bill was accepted, than which, if false, nothing could be' more itifamou, th‘an'which, if true, nothing more, dreadful to Bow . ser, .for, it must be followedL . by•-• the logs of his • • Now this case- came flefore the Jury in an .- .awful. shape, 'both to BOWSer and the Defendant ;•'to'one-! the loss of lin', if the 'acceptance was . a forgery, to the other, the loss of reputation, without which life was not worth preserving, if ihe'aeCeptance . really his. It . would` be Most decisively' , in evi, &nee, before the Jnry, that, this kceeptance was the hand-writing• of the Defendant. If any cir; cumstances - occurreOrra case where, although wit nesses sWorel.6:a'lland- writing," yet the thing itself was highlyimprobaSle, .then, the jury would sup_
