The following Prisoners have taken their trials : Edward Tinsley, for the, murder of Robert Uns_ worth, guilty of manslaughter, fined pl. and im prisoned twelve calendar months. Thomas Walms. ley and Arthur M'Garratry, for uttering forged Bank of England Notes, guilty. William Kelsall, for forgery, guilty. Ellen Bradshaw, for a bur. -glary, at Manchester, guilty.

He also said, that when he first knew the United. Eng liihmeti, there were only fifty, but that now there were a thousand ,for one. At the Nisi'Prius Bar, there were eighty-five Causes for trial, upwards of fifty of which were gone through yesterday. Amongst those already tried, was one brought by a' Farmer from 'Pendleton; near Manchester, against an Attorney of Manchester, fo'r an assault, by which the Plaintiff lost an eye. Verdict for the Plaintiff, 30 - Gl:datriages. An ac. don was also brought by a,youlig man, , who was cverturoed in the coach between this town and Kendal, in SepteMber last, and brttisec.L in such a manner - as to make him lame for life, against the Proprietors of the coach; when he obtained a vcr did, with ziel. damages. A shocking misfortune happened at Stanley Col liery, near Wakefield, on Tuesday se'nnight : the earth and coal in one of the pits giving way, fell upon four men who were at work, and killed two of them on the spat; a third died soon after; and the other, who had received a darigerotis fraCture, was broUght to the General Infirmary, and had his leg amputated the day following. Patrick Johnstone, the Private in the. 14. th of Light Dragoons, Who had. deserted from his quar ters at Horrichurch, in. Essek, has been restored to the Regiment. The. .eharge of murder preferred against him, was utterly.clestitute of truth, being a mere fabrication of the men who were sent in pur. suit of hith, in order 46 facilitate his detet%on and apprehension. • • A singular circumstance has lately , occurred in Strasburgh. A ci-devant shoemaker in that town lately set up for a Prophet, and announced that the world in one month would be at an end. -What is more wonderful is, that several heads of families' and others gave him Such full credit, as to leave off labour, and to dispose of their property to such as chose to accept of the earthly dross. Many of them put on their best clothes, and prepared themselves, by alternate fasting and prayer; for the coming day ! A similar circumstance lately took place at Braken.. heim, in the Duchy of Withemberg,:where a Priest and a Woman deluded slime '3o or-4.0` persons to follow them to the Holy rand, where the female was to produce a new Messiali': they bad already set oat on this hopeful march, and Others were preparing to follow, when the eyes of the deluded were opened by a caprice of the Lady, who banished their Orien tal hopes by eloping with the monies which she had colleCted for the journey. ; • ' . . On Friday last J. Haynes and J. Harold were exe cuted at Warwick, pursuant to their septences at the last Assizes, for uttering forged Bai2k.of land I~'otes, knowing ;he same to be forged.

There was an illuMination,' Con cert, and Play. :Wherever, the 'French Etat_Major passed, the People received them with loud plaudits, exclaiming "Five l'.4lrode Francaise The Bishopric of Munster, which the deceased ELECTOR of COLOGNE possessed, being the, richest .. and most extensive in Germany, it has.been thought' that it would have been one of the secularizations : yet we learn from Munster, that the Chapter has fixed the 2d of September, for the .eleaion of a Prince Bishbp.

Letters from Petersburgh state, 'that the EM PEROR ALEXANDER testifies, upon all occasions, the most amicable disposition towards the French Government, and that if he cannot make Peace b - tween France and En- 6 land he will confine himself to the widest Neutrality. French Funds (Aug. 2z), 4.6.—Aug. 23, 48. BAstE, Atm. lg.—The declaration made at Rat;sbon by Citizen BACHER, was only addressed to a dozen Ministers to the Diet. It is as fellows " The French Government sees with pain the delay which the execution of the Treaty of Lune ,aiife experiences. It takes the warmest interest in the execution of the 7th Article, and cannot be indifferent to the fate of the Hereditary Princes, because that delay only serves to increase the losses of thuse who are authorized to claim Indeinnities, and to render their situation more painful." , With respeA to the complaints of the recruiting by the Eoiish in the Empire, the Diet has invited Citiied BAcittit to give more full details on the sUbjea, which he has promised to do. PETERS/WRIGH, JULY 26.—The French triga., dier Duitoc will not attend His IMPERIAL MA JESTY at the Coronation at Moscow, as has been stated. He has requested his audience of leave, and reckons upon setting out in a few days. He will pass through Stockholm and Copenhagen before his return to Paris. It is strongly credited here, that General MAC- DoNALo will come .to reside at our Court, as .Am bassador of the French Republic. .• His IMP PRIAL, MAJESTY intends tri send Prince GAGARIN in the' quality of Minister to the KING Of SARDINIA: AMSTERDAM, Atro. r . 7.7---Our Government is adopting every measure of precaution. The Ccast of the Isle of Waicheren, which extend , : from the environs of F/ush . :',4 to the Western point, is co vered' with French' and Dutch Troops, as well- as . Batteries. A Camp has been formed on the . Isle of Gore( ) and a great number ofGumboars stationed at the entrance of the Harbour. Another Camp is forming: near the krill. The s.ridet orders have been given by Admiral DE WINTER, in order to prevent any Ship coming from England from enter• ing thc Meuse, under any pretext whatever. MINISTRY OF MARINE. •The Minister of the Marine has published the Dispatche's - which.he.has just received from Rear- Admiral tai . CaossE,. Captain-General of Guada loupe and its Dependencies.. They are dated . the 4th of July, and,contain the following details ; It •was on the 29th of May, - that • Rear-Admiral La C.aossi artived at Guadaioupe with the Di'.i. s ion under his command. At nine o'clock on the preceding evening•the Frigate La Cocarde had been attacked by the English Frigate the Andromeda, Captain &Aw ay, when, after an Adion which lasted an hour, the Richly was repulsed with the loss of .twenty men, and. some of their masts. The English Captain died of his wounds. La Cocarde only lost two gunner;, and a serjeant of the 79th, and—had but two men slightly wounded. That was the only engagement which occurred during the voyage. On his arrival the Rear-Admiral took immediate'. Measures to check' the spirit of disaffeaion and com- . Motion, whicbi had too long prevailed in the Colo.. ny. Several individuals of that description, of all classes, were arrested and sent on board La Cocarde, on their return to Fiance. Among them are NlO - and MEGIS, gx-Commissioners of the --Go- Vernment ; BIGARD, Ex-Consul at St. Bartholo mew ; MICHEL SENIOR ' EX.C . OIISUI at St. Thomas, &c. These measures have given to the Colony the certainty of profound peace. Several Citizens, prisoned for political opinions, of on suspicion of emigration, have been released. s The Rear-Admiral direaed his .attention to the mannerin which the Treaty between France and the United .States was executed in the Colony.— He ascertained, indeed, that all the vessels which had- been seized since the Convention, or condemn ed , before the publication of it -in the Colony, had been - restored to their respeaive.proprietors ; but he. was astonished at the number of those con demned between these two periods, and- the prodLiCs of which.had been divided between the fitters.out and the crews of the privateers. lie proposes to draw tip a report, which will make known to the Government the importance of .the claims the Sub , jab of the Unhe4 States have still to make. The evil is the greater, because the Decree of the Con suls, constituting a Council of Prizes at Paris, was unknown, in the Colony, until the Ru.r.Admiral's arrival ; so that . the Neutrals were- liable to the condemnation usually-exercised by the Triburnas of Commerce. . . .

Ihe Ex-Agthits had' ordered a general suspension, with a few exceptions . in cases of a particular nature. At present, order being restored to the Colony, and the Planters en abled to attend to their agricultural anis", and the' revenues amounting to two.thint, of their total be:' fore the Revolution, lie conceives that every consi deration. of justice requires that the debtors should at least partially discharge what they owe since thg restoration of the estates of the Plantersi whose sence had menacel them with total ruin. The arrival cf the kearAdmiral in the Colony has been the epodi Of the re-establishment of inertial pro , .perity. Before that period the Varses of individUals were drawn Z 3 dose as their - hearts. Articles of the first necessity bore the most extr3- vagant prices: The ambition which distinguishes commercial speculation was extinct. Each person refused to enter into the most ordinary- transac tions ; and that distrust which is the neVer-failing attendant on requisitions, had done all the mis chief it was cap'able of producing. * Th e Rcar-Ade miral promulgated the instructions of the G wern ment, and the scene was completely changed. Thd . affluence of the' Neutrals who rely upon the integrity of Frenchmen, restores abnridanee to the inhabit. .ants of the Town and the Plan Lions, the produc. tions - of which are daily rising in Value.
