The fact of Deninark's having suc cumbed is repeated, and universally believed.

The latter fact is probably true, as the French Papers hinted as much a week ago : the middle fact may alsO approach the truth, but as for the first we entirely disbe lieve it. We disbelieve it on the authority of the Tyrant's own Press, which, though anxious to put the best lace it can upon his formidable pre. parations, can yet only assert, that " the levy is proceeding with the greatest activity*," which we doubt, and as a proof it, (see Extracts in our First, Page) state that eight hundred nten only had left Versailles, and fourteen hundred and eighty-five Gre noble on their destination, and that other detach ments were to follow !

The exploits of t!le Cossacks have struck the greatest terror into the inhabitants of the . French departments. An instance of this dread was- lately exemplified in the neighbourhood of Cologne : Five Jews, disguised as Cossacks,- suddenly ap peared in one of the Communes, and denum,oded a contribution of 2000 livres, whiCh was inr mediately paid. They then proceeded successively to four other communes, and having levied si milar requisitions, and obtained abxmlance of good cheer, departed.

On Saturday Abraham Reeve stood indicted for Having inflicted (livers blowS, with his fists and a handspike, on the body of Ramsamtnee, a Lascar, on board the Java, on the 10th of May, in the .52d year of the King, on the high seas, thereby occasioning his death. Mr. ADAM addressed the Jury, and stated, 6 that this prosecution was instituted, •if not at the in stance, yet under the guidance' of the East India Company, who felt it to he their duty to use every means in their power to preserve from in jury those natives of India who were employed, not only in navigating the ships 'immediately en gaged in their own service, hot those which were employed .by private individuals. For this pur"- pose, a depOt was prepared for them, where, on their arrival in this country, they were received, and provided with every necessary comfort. The circumstances of the present case were, as far as he had been enabled to collect them, as follows : —The prisoner was second mate on board the Java. On the 10th of May, 1812, this ship -was lying in Sao , Yur Roads, :Calcutta. Previous to this 'period, the deceased had come on board .the ship as a seaman. On the morning of • the 10th, he was, sitting ia a squat position on the deck of the vessel, which is the mode in which the Las cars usually place themselves when labouring un der indisposition. The prisoner went up to him, and desired hint to go to his duty. The deceased did not stir, but complained of illness, and said he was. unable to do any work. Prisoner, after repeating his orders, and finding theth not obeyed, struck the deceased with his fists, and afterwards went for a handspike, with which he struck him several blows. The deceased from that time he came worse. There was no surgeon on :board, but such aid as his shipmates could give him was administered. He refused any sustenance, and at night was covered with a blanket. In the moen ing he was fotud,dead. His countrymen, in pur-, suance of their custom, washed the body during which they perceived several bruises on the de ceased's head and body. After .this ceremony, application was made for a boat to . . take the body on shore, which was only three miles distant, for burial. The chief mate, however, refused. The Lascars were ordered by the prisoner to throw the body overboard, but they refused, as did some Portuguese sailors, who had received similar in structions. The same evening the prisoner him self , threw the body overboard. The learned Counsel then stated, that the Coiut of Directors h'aving heard, through the medium of the public prints, or.otherwise, that the conduct of the of ftail of the iata had heed iliiiifbpef; tbe V hit ft their dirty to instititte inquiry off lioard; instructed their SdlicitOr kir that purtibse: gentleman, : the c mnpetence of ‘idiose jtiOgthot corild mit be questioned, proceeded to the ship; and Made the inquiries entrusted to his prndenee. After the most minute investigatlon;• he fnund that, one or two circumstances had occurred add improper complexion, but nothing of 6 nature to require a public charge. This was In -the month of July. In the Month of August folloWing, Soffit' information having been given at Bow-street, the, prisoner was taken up, and underwent sevelal examinations ; and althou g h the p resen t c a se was onehad which alreadv been b ee n de em ed by the: Solicitor of the East India Company not to re quite public investigation, yet for the sake ofjus;• stice; the Diteetors s had thong-lit it their duty td give every facility in their power to the- inquiry, and to adopt the proeeedi n gg no,t, instituted. To prorethe fact's of •the case, tont Lascats were callea;wito were sworn by their Pries on the Koran, according to tbe forms of the 111si hornerianyelig!on. These men, in exarni nation, in Chid e&ifirined the statement of the Learned Counsel ; but,' oh their cross-examina tion, they said they made nO complaint of the , ffi murder to their native Ocers; of to any other person in India, although they had the oppvtu nity of so doing; and some of them . , although particularly e x a m i ne d as to a ny complaint which they had to make resrcting their treatment on board the Java; by order of the Directdrs of the East India Company, on their arrival in Engl:pd; did not even hint at the charge which was now preferred against the prisoner. Mr. Ahernethie, a Surgeon, depoSed, that from the imperfect description of the blows, no medi cal_opinion could be given, whether they caused the - death of Ramsammee. E. Lawford, partner to Mr. Smith j the Com pany's Solicitor, deposed, that though' he went on board the Java, and desired the Lascars to make cc mplaint of any ill usage sustained by them, during the voyage, he heard nothing tending to 'implicate the prisoner in the crime imputed to him. • . Abrabain Gole, superintendant of the Lascars a deposed to the same effect: H. Newberry, carpenter, deposel, that in the Spring of 1812, he went from the Surrey East Indianian on board the Java, to work. He heard . • of the death of Ramsammee, which was invariably attributed by all the Lascars to the ill-treatment of the boat wain, whose lite was in conseqnence in danger.' He even beard one. of the Lascars ad dress the prisoner at the bar, while taking him by the coat, thus :—" Come see ; boatswain bent man too much—he sick—he die." The prisoner went with the Lascar to Ramsammee: H. Harris and John Briggs, seamen, deposed to the same effect. • Thomas Brown, the chief mate, was the •next witness. He remembered the death of Ramsam mee, and that the Serang had told, bin) that the boatswain had killed hint. Nothing was said against the prisoner Reeve. In answer to a ques tion from Mr. Bolland, ,said be heard Ramsam mee had died of a fever and dysentery. Had no recollection of being applied to for a boat to take the body on shore. Mr. Justice DALLAS summed up the evidence It MIS probably rumecessa - r'y for him to tell the Jury that express malice was not necessary to con stitute the crime of murder, as an act of barbari. tv occasioning death would imply malice. He might with.. propriety have prevented the cause from prOceeding, after hearing from a profes sional character, eminent both by his practice and his writingii' that it- was impossible to form- any opinion as to the cause of.tke death of the de ceased. The evidence for the defence had abso lutely contradicted the statements of the witnesses for the prosecution ; and it was very extraordi nary (which was the material point for the cha racter of the prisoner), that these same witnesses • had at an earlier period preferred no charge against him.—The Jury instantly returned a ver dict of Not Guilty.

It is entirely new, and unlike the prevailing practice of administering drastic medicine to carry off re dundani_Bilc (the frequent use of which must do serious mis - chief to the stomach and bowels), it effectually removes Obstructions of the Liver and Spleen, restores tone to the Stomach and Intes tines, and so materially imprOves the general health, that the person is rendered secure against a recurrence of the complaint. In a late number of our. Paper we published a remarkable instance of the salutary effects of this Treatment in the person of a respectable Divine, who had been a great sufferer, for fourteen years, from Indiges tion, Irregular Bowels, and Redundancy of Bile, and who continues entirely free from any symptom of his former complaint. In compliment to the discoveier, the Pills are termed the Bengal Anti- Bilious, stotnachie, and are bold by Mr. Baco.ft, of 150; oxfOrd-road.
