LORD HAWKESBIiIik. WHEN Mr. PiTT, some time Sine; stated in the House of Commons; that, with the exception of Mt': Fox,-Lord HAWKESRURt was the' ablest Statesman which ,Parliament had in these _times produced. the assertion was received by the Friends of Mr. GREY with great disapprobation--yet, we believe, there is no fair and impartial man who has Ik4tened to the Debates in Parliament, who will not , fully admit the justice of Mr. PlTT.!sretrititls.,tipon that occasion. In the first Speech which Lord 1.14.W . K.E5-salty -salty made in Parliament, he shewed a thorough knowledge of the situation alid:)interelits:OFilie dif ferent Powers of Europe, helosTetzls to bare kept `constantly in view all the Varmons,w,hich subse-, quest Events have made in the relative state of those Powers, and recently, on the question of the Peace, and that of the Russian Convention, his Speeches displayed a knowledge and, ability which would have done credit either to Mr. PITT or to Mr. Fox." -In our observations on. Statesmen, we never witnessed any one who .appeared to . have laid up a better store of sound and constitutional prin ciples, or who possessed, more readiness in the application of them, than Lord HAWKESBURY ; and there is one circumstance• almost peculiar to himself, that in all the violent Debates which the events of the last ten years have produced, and in So many of which -he has taken a part, we never remember to- have heard him utter a sentence which couki wound the feelings of any man. His argu ment is never carried from the thing to the person. He appears to us jastly to consider the-argumentum ad hominem, however successful; as only an empty triumph over the Enemy, without- carrying with it any of the. real advantages, of Viaory, and per haps he is the only Debater in the House of COM 'mons who never has called in .aid of his CaUse, the personal" defeas or inconsistencies of his Adver.'. saries. To the same love of research and investi. gation which were remarkable in Ms Predecessor in office, he aISO adds great gentleneSs of manner and affability ; and as a man of business, he is said to be. attentive, assiduous, andeasy of access to those who have any matters to, transad with him. Upon the whole, we think we ~ have observed a much gieater improvement in iirthat constitutes a Statesman in him, than in any other yowl; man who has entered the lists in the Political. Contest ; and we look upon him as most : .eminently qualified to render the most essential services to his Country. . 1 • Ditua.Y-tAllt.—The Tragedy of The Revegge, -Was repeated last night at this Theatre, and the fame of KEM B E'S excellence in Zatz l fa, drew a very numerous audience. Indeed KE MB L E has never ap peared to more . adiantage than in this charafter, which he performs with the'most elab'orate preCiiion throughout, yet without any abatement•of general . spirit. 'Considering . the sterling merit of this Tra- . gedy, the excellence with which the principal cha. ratter is sustained, and the comparative insignifi cance of most modern composirions, we are -stir prized that, it is so seldoM represented, and more particularly that it should be thought necessary to make any excuse for the repetition last night. Co v k-r_q46,o E v.=—The. second performance of the . new Opera, entitled - Chains of the Heart, last night seemed fully to confirm it 'in the favour of the Public:. It, has been very much curtailed, and is near an.hour shorter in duration. The Performers were in general more settled in their,parts, and the whole went off with great éclat.' It is, altogether, nikich niore interesting and amusing. The Scenery is superb and beautiful, anfl the Music elegant and various. But BRAHAm alone is a sufficient treat to the : Public at large as well as to - the musical Con- . noisie n ri. He is indeed a surprizing and delightful Singer, combirting,taste, science and feeling with one of the finest voices ever heard. The House was very well attended. . , The first representation of the Annual Play at the Westminster School, was on l "fuesday last. — The Play this year is Pbormils;: The represeliea titan was attended by many Nob,t i econd tespetlable visitors, and 'went off with very great applause., We have authrity to announce to the Public, that -Mrs► BTLLINGTON is engaged at both the Antient and Vocal Concerts, for the whole of the ensuing Season. 'W congeatulate the Minister and his. Friends on again, having 'become the objeas 'of attack and 'abuse in the Opposition Paper, commonly called. RO - 13SOWS Gazette.' Towatds that'Paper we do not mean to incur the suspicion of any friendly dis. position, or of any great hostility towards the Mt:Others of the present Government, when we profess our earnest. wish that those numbers of it. which shall contain the greatest' personality and scurrility, may have the most extensive cir- Cuiation.—Laudatut At the new Pier on the Batbiean i Plymouth, on WednesdAy, a ,sight was exhibited, which had not been -seen there since the great storm in 1760, when the old Barbican Fish-house, and the two Mr, COLLTERS j were washed away : —While a number'pf persons had assembled on the new Pier, to witness the awfulness of the storm, and the breakers then running mountains high over the Cobler's Ledge and Vidualling-Office Point, a boar of.a sea, of dreadful height, came rolling in by the Vidualling-Office Wharfs, rose in a moment to the majestic height of about fatty feet, and rushed in torrents inside the Pier walls. All the spedators were completely swamped, and driven to swimming, to save themselves from being dashteagaiiiict the opposite wall of the Pier.

The President of the Royal AcademY, in his Lec ture on Thursday evening, threw - out 'a hint which we hope will not be lost upon those Noblemen and Gentlemen in this County, whose taste and fortunes. have led them to make fine tolleaions of Paintings. If these were occasionally opened to the Students here, it would prevent . the. necessity of theitenii. grating to Foreign Countries for subjedis of study, and consequently save annually some money, and the risk likewise of still more consequence, of our future Artists imbibing political principles incom patible with the praetice of their Art.

This marriage forms an alliance between BONAPARTE and the., House of MONTMO R E NCY, the most illustrious and ancient of the former French Monarchy.

JUSTICE LE BLANC Ii GUILDAALL, LONDON, BREACH OF PRO.".7ISE• OF MARRIAGE ANDREWS 'v; MORRISON. This was an Aclion bra Breach of .F4Cmise of Marriage niadely the Defendant to the Plaintiff. . . • 't'he plea• the General [sine - , tha( c itihe, fendant made no such promise, upon Which l isie:w-as joined: - . Mrs Eitsit.i: , 7tt sti*ed the Case on the part' - of' -the Plaintiff: He obserVed (among other things; that if there were . airy cases that more than others deserved the attention ' of. Juries, they, were those 'Wherein the interests and the in juries of Women were concerned.—Man, they knew, was the Lord of the Creation.--Men made . Laws ; men administered the 'Laws which were made by Men—Women were in no -reapeas, that he knew of, inferior to Men, except in being weaker, • which together with their virtue and their beauty, made then objets of our Flotation and love ; And accordingly; they had, in all ages, and among all . Nations under Heaven been under-the protalion -of the other sex, as they ought to be, for as we make Laws, and we carry-them into execution, we should protect those who have no share in. either. It would not be respatful in him towards the Jiiry, if he were to endeavour to convey into their minds any ideas of his own, concerning the nature of the in jury of which this Plaintiff complained ; thin is, the nature of the iiisappOintment of a Woman under - such promise as that of marriage. The Jury knew the nature of such a case. They knew that no in . jury under the son was so great.. A man or wo man might bear loss of property, loss of health, and many, otheri of the calamities which this world brought upon us—hut a wounded spirit who-could bear ?" A woman who is addressed by a man, and who, for any cause Whatever,' is disap. pointed in her_expeelatioos, is disparaged. Let her be as unspotted ,as Diana, as beautiful as she is un spotted, as - accomplished. as she is beautiful, she must, nevertheless, suffer in the opinion of others, at least, of our sex, if she is- once addressed and after wards deserted by a man whom she is intended to wed ; because there is a sort 'of pride in mao,-which will make him shun what another appears to think unworthy of his acceptance. A. man argues- with himself thus :-=" There must be a reason for thiS; although none-be given, 'There' is no smoak without fire ; there must be some sort of blame attached to this Lady, although it does not meet the eye or the ear of the Public." He said, he did not know, whe ther any considerable part of the July, most pro bably sonie:of them, were Parents. Most of themap peared to him to be many rears younger than him self; but to such of them who were Fathers, he would' put it as a' question, what they would think of such- - a disappointment. to one of *their daughters ?. He should "therefore content himself with saying, that if the case was made out as it was stated to him,, the Jury would_ feel they had it not in their power to compensate, for no money could 'Compensate the injury this young woman had received., He was ready to admit, that it was not every - breads cf prbaiise of Marriage that ought to - -be scourged with severe damages ;' there were cir curnstances under.. which a promise might be made, and afterwards 'brokeh, and yet the party disap pointed' Should not have any action. 11a - mail-made .a prOmise of marriage teea *onnao who afterwards appeared not to' be prudent and modest in her be. !saviour, the party . promisin g Marriage shall be absolved ; or if prudent and modest- -in her be. haviour, yet that she may, be, 'known to have -some -- Meets which were not known at the time Of rnAking the promise,. a man shall not be bound by his promise,' for a man is not bound. , by a promise of this - sort to affiia hiniself with the contempt Of all who knew him; If she.hatl4my.. disease which-oiight be communicated to her Qff-- spring; and that was discovered after the promise, the promise shall not be held to be binding: If a man without any establishment in the world, depending merely upon the good will Of others for his Main tenance,whO was Under the .government and con troul Of others, and had' nd support but ,fronl them, and had yet; either - ficitri . -the inipetOosity of his pas sions in his youth, or from some indiscretion; made promise which would be a ruin to himself and every body cOnnaled with hitn--such it promise, should not he binding, fore such a promise was more ho_ floured in the breach than the obserirance. But this Case was like none of these; it bad no excuse which either of those would haVe for' a non-perfor m a nce ; for here the 'Defendant was a than at the years of discretion, a substantial tradesman living in respeet.,-. able business for himself. 'The Plaintitlvas not a Lady likely to draw him , to an expence which his circumstances in life would not enable Ishii to bears She was - the Defendant's neighbour; the daughter of another tradesman, educated as the Defendant bad been, and with whose connnalions he was peg - calk Well acquainted, and therefOre it was not too much to suppose that their pursuits were similar. ThePrornise was presumed to be discreetly made, and therefOre there was no excuse-for the breach of it; and for the breach of it the Jury were not Only called upon by the tilleg of Law, ..but they were bound by the principles of Humanity as well as the dictates of clear Justice ; to give serious damages; for nothing short of seriousdamages could amount to a compensa tion to thiS young woman, Having said this by way of preliminary, he should nOW Shortly - state the circumstances of the ease which was to be laid be r 'T. fore them. The Plaintiff was the daughter of a - -Mr, Anderson,- who lived-in Goswell-Street, potable groCer there.. The Defendant was alstl'a tradesman in the same street, and. tespCdable. in every thing, he dared to say, except-the occasion of his. being before that Court to-day: The Defen. dant had; for three years paid his attention to this_ young woman, and some time in February last; A tained her father's leave to court 'her in marriage; and under that qoletun ,sanction, he - visited the fa. roily, the sanaton of honour ;.,and honour was not to be found only at St.- James's, or in the purlieiss of a palace; it was to be found under humbler roofs, and was indeed the companion of all ranks of. per..
