THI! RICHT HO Y. /IL Y ADDINGTON. THE political contlua which you mean to rursuc, is a prOblern which four friendi d • e not yet vertu to to solve, and which, according to your usual custoi4, You have not yet decided. It will probably', , als you said in the House of Cumulous, be determined. by events : many persons will be consulted before any line is taken, and, with. you, the last advice will be the best. Upon Mr. Prre's Defence Bill, you are said to have deceived some persons, aid you certainly sur prized many. It was generally understood thatj'ou had made declarations in same quarters, that your intentions were to support the Administration ; that YOU were sensible that the Country required an efficient Government, and that you would do all that depended upon you to render it so. How you have Performed this promise, if any such was made, the Public has seen. On the Defence Bill, you are said to have been unremitting in your canvass, to have urged some persons to vote against the measur e , on groun d s ltreottet/ to yourself —t o have' repre sente d a vote in . 611 t of Mr. Pier's measure as inconsistent with that which t h ey to ha ve had g i ven i n favour of yours ; and addres se d Yourself to every feeling of private gratitude of nup towards yourself, to decide the_ gondua bMe - •on a public measure. It is true, th at Y such means you 'probably induced many to vote a g ain st the question : how cordially they gave that tote, may be colleCted from the declarations of several 14 ' 11 °, in giving it, thought it necessary to assure the friends of Government, that upon every otlk t ccca- Sion they should have their support some justified the vote upon th e ground of frieedship to you, who, they sa i d, hod been alwajs civil t o them; others were duped by the statement, that having voted for Mr. ADDINGTON'S measure, they couki not Vote for Mr. PITT'S, because it was dffe t Upon ' suc h conduit and up on such votesi renc. , the ' doEt of M r . Y ORKE and of Mr. on_ fittEV A ,DDINGTON: is th e b est comment ; they gave our (and the for mer, who introduced the measure, was bound to do ao), :hat the Plan proposed by the former Govern ment was the best, but that the Houses' of Par liament having strew n a disinclination to adopt that measure, and not wishing to encourage general o Pposition, and to pia:" into the hands of others, that they should give no further opposition ; and having made this declaration, they retired into she Country, chile you, Sir, remained, not only to oppose the lUe!.sure in every stage, and to counteraa it by such . haVe d escrlueu; but you, the grave Mr. Ann tticrox, though t a • h not unworthy petty triumph of you and you rn waue vre, th at o Yourself a p art y to a mapceu r taki n important g the i - iouse by surprize, in - an unnn_ n Stage of the• Bill—a manoeuvre at whi c h, been in that should h ave Chair fr om w hi c h you never been taken, you, I think, wou ld h ave en th e first to have shook your head, and'disap. Prov e d . Ilie Bi ll has, however, gone to the House of , lords, the Opposition not daring ,to div i he t hi rd re de upo n the third reading, on which they well knew their numbers would have diminished. The Bill has stoo d the t est of the most adivc canvass which was per haps ever made stood th e agai nst any measure : it has test of your eentreaties against it; it bas st oo d the test of th' tnner s of C.---. H--; and it has stood the test of / • • • egrtimate Opposition. — May it, as it deserves • , recetve a fairer dealin g in enother place ; and may it, as I' trust •." it give not only the means of defending ourselves, but °f attacking with effete} d a angerous, powerful, and implacable Enemy. I am, yours, &c. CRI TO. The C to RENVILLES Win find it a difficult matter era:e:lsle ,4cmselves, for having promised to with mi,JesTy`JiVosition from the late Ministry, if H destw;:illnigcl include Mr. PI TT among them, 1 yet him as soon as he was restored to M.

Y •ur fsiends acknowledge,, that you confess ed to them that you came to France for the purpose of changing the exiting Government ; of re-esta- Wishing the BOURBONS on • a Throne which you yourself had destroyed; of annihilAting the Repub lic, of which you was one of the foun:•ors, and as. sassinating the three Consuls, and the Governor of Paris ; and that in this infernal. project you had. cnnne:ted yourself with men once your enemies; You did not hesitate to sully the laurels which you ' had gained in Holland and on the Rhine, and to unite yourself with vile assassins, wh' you '.made' the companion; of your travels, 3.:(1 with whom you ivandered front ;tsylom to asylum fur more thsn two months.

A certain Party say, they are anxious to prevent thr National Defence . Bill from coming to. the .Pa rid), but the real motive of, their opposition,- Was probably an apprehension of_coming themselves to the Parish. Mr. WINDHAM seems at present less disposed to .( appear as a candidate for,oflice than as a rival of Mr. SHERIDAN in jocularity. Wit and humgur are cer-• tainly very agreeable .things, but they should only be brought forward in due season ; and the situation'of the Country requires, .at the present moment, a seriousness in Parliamentary Proceedings, suitable to, the dignity of the National Council, and the =im portant objeas in discussion. Mr. Fox's declaration; that the House of 'Com. tons could judge as well of a new Administration in six monthi. as in`six ,years, could hardly have been expelled from such a ' veteran Politician.— Such an opinion would 'be more suitable to the revoluflonary,ralidisy, which marked the legislative proceedings in France soon after the Overthrow of the Monarchy. But the new mingled n.-.ass of Op_ position evidently think they can decide upon .the merits of a new Administration in less than 'six weeks ! On Sunday sennight, - about seven o f 'clock in the morning, It T M T —a, an emi nent Jew, and Mr. both of Barnard'Ci st l e , met in a field near that place, attended by their Seconds, to determine an afThir of honour. The ground be ing marlzed out by the Seconds, the parties took their stations but, just as the signal was about to be given for firing, the Jew drop l •ed on his knees in a violent state of agitation, and begged of his antago nist to spare his life. llere the Seconds interfered, and the Jew consenting to ask Mr. B.'s pardon, matter s were amicably adjuEited„ wh en the descen dant of Levi •was suffered to depart with his life.— The huhjeet of clic quarrel .was a young yto whom t h e y both pay thcit addr.zbse.—Th e jzttv the chalicnser. . , , . , . 4ny faas, and dins ad,d to 3 liffaVy t.•.rimti Ole d; S _ honour of falsehood. • I repeat try you, that i!te sy S. tem which might suit obscure persons, will rot snit a man who, like yon, , bas been seen At tlid'ilead of Reptit)lica , ) Armies,,• and fi;!e,l Euro; , e with the fume of his exploits. Die crimes with which You are reproached, and: which are proved,• are doubtless odious, but reflect that you will add to those crirm..s something low and base in ,persisting in useless de nials ?—A. The only reficdions which these obser ations inspire is, that you take a great deal upon you in taxing my answers as false, and in making insinuations contrary to truth.

Mr. GAiROw, for the Defendant, said, that rrom the agreement, the Plaintiff was bound in honour to sign the deed, and that although another Creditor might plead its invalidity, with respect to hint it was legal. .

The Plaintiff is a widoW, living at «''el+-End, near Great 11.1.irloW.

An,A.ffion for _l3l. upon the Di•fentlant's prnmia. sory note to the Plaintiff: , Th e fi-t'endant, an hair dr esser , h a d a bastar it child ,worn to at Clerkenwell : the mother be_. ing trough to hid, became burthenso me to the. •pari,h, o n which the fither was aparehended•: the Parish - Officers wanted 401. lq way .of • he bad...no such money, but as he had lately married another woman, win: %vas also with child by him, and wanted to conceal in his wife his former amour, he give the offic.ers ra. guineas, and this pr:rnissory note for 131. more.. The child did not live above a • Month: Mr. GIBBS contended that the Parish 011 i.. cers were ten_foid overpaid by the 14. guineas, and that the note for 131. was.given..ithout con,,idera tion, and that therefore there ought to be a verdit - for the Defendant. He said ,there was a ease now. before the Court for its opinioß t whether any of these agreements for composition with, parishes for the support of bastard children were va!id in point of law. He knZW : that some of the most eminent men at the Bar doubted that very much, and were inclined 'to think that nothing but an agreement, under an Order of Affiliation, t o r a y a certain sum .weekly for the maintenance of a b astar d, was legal.. He in sisted on it in this case the Defendant ought nut to be called iipcin 'Co pay this note, It appeared also that the Parishes in general are in the habit of taking sums of money from the fathers of bastard children, by way of indemnity/ for the expense of supporting them, and that they are Supported at the Workhouse, - &c, tinder the, care - of Parish Officers. Upon which Lord ELLENBO. ROUGH said; lie was extremely sorry to heat it : . he thought it the most mischievous of systems, as it tended to negligence ,about the lives of children, 'and. that was the most culpable of all negligence. It was a praffiec which ought, to be repressed, for it. was one in which it was the pecuniary in terest of those who had to provide for the children, to let them die as fast as possible. However, his Lordship rock occasion to state, that he did not apply . this observation to the Parish in this case ; and also to observe, that in most of the Parishes of the Me tropolis these children, as well as other persons, were treated with tenderness and humanity, as indeed they ought to be, for they were the most pitiable and helpless of mankind. The Defendant was liable to indemnify the Parish, and one month, with the funeral expenses, was all that could be obligatory upon him. Fourteen pounds have been paid, so that for the note, no consideration seemed to have been given.,.—Verdin for the Defendant. CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 22. . .
