YESTEILDA Y we received Dutch Papers to the /stli inst. but all the intelligence of any importance which they 'contain, has been anticipated by the French Paper It is stated, upon the authority of a Gentleman who lately effeded his escape from France, that the Artily encamped along the Coast of Pidanly have began to manifest great discontent at the delay of the projefted Exp e di t i on aga i nst this Country, which • they ltad been assured by their Officers was to be put into execution be fore this time. It is also added, that the vrepa. ration s have of late considerably relaxed, and very recently twenty Battalions have been marched from the Coast to the interior. W e are much inclined to doubt any reports of the Enemy having relaxed in their preparations ; they are not, perhaps, making any eddition to their force on the Coast, because, as ue stated some time ago, it was considered to be complete, and sufficiently numerous, for the intend.. ed Expedition. The reports of insurredions having happened at Paris, appear to be wholly destitute of foundation. IT is said that the BAVARIAN MINISTER at our court has presented a remonstrance, complaining of the donduft imputed to Mr. DRAKE in the ex parte Report of the French Grand Judge, and requesting, in the name of the Et.v.o-roi t his Master, the recal of that Gentleman from Munich. It is also stated, that in the event of a refusal on the part of our Go vernment, he has received instruCtions to demand the necessary Passports to enable him to return home With all possible expedition. Nothing can more decidedly evince the abjea anti degraded situation in Which the smaller States of turope are now placed, by the domineering tyranny of the Corsican Usurper. Tx E iminorfah.t.c and Sulph ur , with three of the St°ne-sl4s, came in to Deal ye3terdak. from B"- icrzne Roads. They were obliged to slip their tables, and stand over to the English Coast, in con. septence of a gale of wind.

A camp, it is stated, is to be formed at Weedon, in Northamptonshire, for which purpose 7o acres of land are now enclosing. The proportion of the Army of Reserve coartered at Bristol, under the command . of Col. LlTstLve, during the present week, volunteered to a man, to form the 99th Regiment of the line. The whole of the 4th Battalion of 'the Army of Reserve, stationed at Yaxley Barracks, last week unanimously volunteered for general service. In consequence of this patriotic offer, the Commanding Officer allowed the men a general furlough for four days. We understand this fine body of young men are intended to form the 97th Regiment. Last•week the churches and other public build ings in York, capable of holding' men, or of being converted into depots, were surveyed by order of the Magistrates, in consequence of a communica. Lion from Lord MULCRAVE, the General cont.manding that District. On Thursday a trial of skill took place on Broad. borough Green, Gloucestershire, between the Severn ,Riflemen, commanded by Captain WATIIEN, and the Kingstanly Riflemen, commanded by Capt. N. P. WATHEN. Ten men shot on either side six balls, three at 1 50, and three.at zoo yards. The Severn men evinced'their great superiority. The celebrity of these Sharp-shooters assembled a great number of spea ators. The- rival marksmen, and a party of their friends, dined together afterwards at Stroud, the utmost harmony and good.htunour. • A Ily! L NEWS.

LAW: REPORT. COURT OV KiNG's BENCH, APRIL 19. THE trIAVOR AND CORrtRATION OF CARLISLE) V. ALEXANpfsR SIR SINInAI LE BLANC read the report of the Learned Judge (Sir ALAN CtiAmBRE) before whom this cause was tried. It was an anion of assumpsit, brought. to try the right of the Plaintiff's To ll for Commercial Goods -(rtot belonging to- passengers), carried from - and - through the ' town of Carlisle. Their right by charter and prescription to receive toll .for such goods conveyed on single pack-hoises, or in , earts_ drawn by one or more horses, was not disputed : it,was thus proportioned—one penny hore for each packhorse laden with goods, two penco fora cart so laden drawn by one horse, four pence: for one drawn by two horses, and, after that number an additional twopence for each horse. Messrs. PARKE, HOLRoYD, and HULLOCK, in support of the verdict, contended, that as it ap peared in evidence, as reported by the Learned Judge, that'uo such toll had been claimed for goods 'conveyed in stage coaches for fifty years past (ex eepe a , claim which was made about fifteen years ago, denied, and 'dropped) the Plaintiff could 'not rely on the ground-of prescription and usage, and it was reasonable to 'infer that coaches have always tyee6 exem pt, f r om this charge, inasmuch as the num ber mf horses was , the criterion by which the rate of . toll was appreciated as to carts, because :it was to be presumed that the greater number of horses were required to (lOW the greater quantity of goods, but that could ne.t .-- be ;Thee - Case with respeet„ tro stage' ectaiVisie; there rumps be four or six horstii to stage coach and not more thanone. parcel of goods, and . it generally happened that more commercial goods were conveyed by a single horse cart than in a stage coach drawn by four horses it would be therefore unreasonable that the coach should be charged Sd. toll, and the cart; more heavily laden, only zd. • The Learned Counsel admitted, that if the Plain tiffs were entitled to a toll on goods : generally, the verdict for the Defendant, which they were'.to sup port, might be wrong ; but it was only'a toll jab mode. this case there :Was on evidence of any fFatid or evasion. - The stage coaches conveyed goods subordinatel•; , and incidentally, but they were fitted up and intended for passengers. Lifa,ELLENBOROVGI-1 said, the substantive right is a ,toll. .for goodsadmitting that no claim: had been made for toll on gOodscarried by stage coach(q, that 'tray he accounted for, variously. It Vas -hail: pcued,'hut very recently that stage coaches haVe been converted into vehicles for the carriage 'of goods—and even the number of stage coaches is much increased of _late years. :In the history of Cutnberland, by Burns, it is mentioned that Bishop Nicholson had, been obliged tti walk a$ far as Stant - - ford before lie could: get into a stage coach 'with the Nobleman to whom he was then tutor. BUtif any vehicle, Whether cart or coach, or barrouch, or - by whatever name it.:tnay-be called, carries goods on which there is a preStrivtiVe right of toll; the party intitled to it has a right to reeeive : it=--not from'the proprietor, as has been contended; but froin the carrier, 'the person with the gands.—The Court was unanimous in setting aside'the Verdi t. trnmediately after the Division in the Houseof Lords on Wednesday lost, in which the Minister was beat, the Marquis of ~-ritfro.ao.gave notice, that submit to he should, on Friday,next, the 276 inst.the House a Motion respelling the Bills, waif .have passed since the.ccrotttzncernent of (lit present Ncrar, for. the Defence of !lie, Country., _ ~ that admirable xy.ptl - , - The .Military, Mentor, - Wiftien, it is said, Nty, ,a . üblt sari Venerable Mar. quis, ;has been recommended to the Oliteers of all the Corps..in the several:c A ltinties, try. the Lord, Lieu te, nants.

Communes of Wal dischwvl, Richtischwyl, Schonenberg, and Hutten. The 16J1 of this month was fixed in these Com munes foi.. taking the oaths of fidelity to the Coun. try, the Canton, and the Constittitional Authori. tidy, The inhabitants of these Communes assem_ bled in very great nurnhers at the hour appointed, in the Chart:li of Waldischwyl. The Counsellors UsTcks, and HIRZEL, Deputies of the Cantonal Government, had opened the Sitting by a dis. cc utse appropriate to the occasion ; after the reading . of the word's of the oath, a violent tu 'mult suddenly broke mit, in which confused and re peated cries were heard of " No, No ; we will not swear that ; but we will swear to the Ati of Medi ' ation, the Constitution of 1798, to the Liberty ac- I quired by TELL and WriikELItIED, Liberty; Equa lity arod the Gosp4l l" Ag efforts proving ineffeett;al to restore order, the Deputation at length quitted i Assembly.

We have learnt, with-the most 'profound indignation, that there are among you men whom live , years or revolution, *daring which the country has wept under all the evils of discord, has not di vested of party spirit, nor.eured of a culpable. resistance of the laws. What is your objeet ? Where does the perverseness of known agitators, and your own blindness, lead you ? Do yon, think by these proceedings to compel thcGovernrnent to change • the wise measures it has taken for the whole Casten ! Re speetful representations are listened to, but towards tumult ous assemblies humanity itself requires severity, andtbe em ployment of force. Do you entertain more culpable hopes ! •r ait the Constitution you assail ? In that case, inhabitants, - hear our advice ; the Confederal Order, such as it has beer. established by the Mediation, should be the basis of out social eontraCt. The will of the Nation in this, was with the- vows of Foreign Powers. The Government bliShed iii consequence of the Mediation ought to be - as 'sa_ cred to you as the mediation itself. All resistance to this - Government is high treason, which can only draw on it- _ Self opprobrium and perdition, but will never essentially dis turb the Public Force.
