L O N D O N. HASTINGS' TRIAL. WESTMINSTER HALL, June 13.
BEIGUM CHARGE.
THE Hall was, if possible, more crowded than on any former day, by an assemblage of all the great and noble in town. The places of the Commons were fully occupied.
THE LORD CHANCELLOR being recovered, President on the occasion.
Mr. SHERIDAN rose to resume his oration against Warren Hastings, Esq. He expressed his sorrow at having been unavoidably obliged to give their Lordships more trouble, concerning that charge with which the Commons had entrusted him; but his sudden indisposition, and the debility of body resulting from it, had rendered it impossible to proceed to that crisis which he wished;—he would, therefore, with their Lordships indulgence, recall to their memories the immediate subject of discussion at that time.
Mr. SHERIDAN then recurred to the resumption of the jaghires, or landed property, by the Nabob, and described the transaction in such a manner, as to show the greatest culpability in Mr. Hastings' conduct. He recapitulated that part of the written and oral evidence which he thought most essential. He insisted that Mr. Hastings, by his inhuman treatment of the Begums—by his treachery and want of feeling to the Nabob—merited punishment. That he and his minions had been guilty of the most foul and unnatural conspiracy, was an incontrovertible truth; and he hoped, that after the evidence which had been produced, and the glaring facts which had been established, their Lordships would not hesitate to pronounce the prisoner guilty.
The Question would undoubtedly suggest itself, why the correspondence was ever produced by the parties, against whom it was now adduced in evidence, and who had so much reason to distrust the propriety of their own conduct?—To this an answer appeared, that it was owing to a mutual and providential repentance which had broken out between the parties, which was generally the case between persons concerned in such transactions. Mr. Middleton was incensed, and felt, as a galling triumph, the confidence reposed by the Governor-General in other agents.—Mr. Hastings was offended, by the tarly wariness which marked the conduct of Middleton; by the various remonstrances by the agent—though, as knowing the man to whom they were addressed, they were all grounded on motives of policy, not of humanity; and of expediency, which left justice entirely out of the question. But the great ostensible ground of quarrel was, that Middleton had dared to spend two days in negotiation—though that delay had prevented the general massacre of upwards of two thousand persons !—The real cause, however, of this difference, was a firm belief on the part of Mr. Hastings, that Mr. Middleton had inverted their different situations, and kept the Lion's Share of plunder to himself. There were undoubtedly some circumstances to justify this suspicion. At the time when Mr. Hastings had first complained, the Nabob's treasury was empty, and his troops so mutinous for their pay, as even to threaten his life; yet, in this moment of gratitude and opulence, Middleton intimated the Nabob's desire to make Mr. Hastings a present of one hundred thousand pounds . That sacrifice, however, not being deemed sufficient, Mr. Middleton was recalled, and Major Palmer sent in his room, with instructions to tell the Nabob, that such a donation was not to be attempted; the Prince, however, with an unfortunate want of recollection, said, that "no such offer had ever been in his mind." Thus it had always been considered, as the heightening of a favour bestowed, that the receiver should not know from what quarter it came; but it was reserved for Mr. Middleton to improve on this by such a delicate refinement, that the person giving should be totally ignorant of the favour he conferred!
The whole tenor of Mr. Hastings' government appeared to be designed for the subversion of the rights of humanity. Although there was clearly a perfect understanding between him and his subordinates in certain pecuniary affairs, yet they were actuated by a perturbation of mind, which tended to the overthrow of every regular system of policy.
Between Mr. Hastings, Mr. Middleton, and Sir Elijah Impey, there existed mutual fear, jealousy, and hatred , of the most inveterate kind;—each was endeavoring to assist the other—each endeavoring to conceal their acts of atrocity—each endeavoring to convince the other of his candor and honour:—but the secret machinations of their minds were the very opposite; and, under the maske of harmony and confidence, a breach of faith, and the most diabolical intentions, were eminently conspicuous.
Their operations, however, were so far in unison, as to establish tyranny and oppression in every place where the English had the least influence.
Notwithstanding their little differences and suspicions, Mr. Hastings and Mr. Middleton, on the return of the latter to Calcutta, in October, 1782, continued to live in the same style of friendship, collusion, and fraudulent familiarity , as ever. But when Mr. Bristow, not answering the purposes of Mr. Hastings, was accused on the suborned letters , procured from the Nabob, one of which pronounced him to be the blackest character in existence, whilst another, of the same date, spoke of him as a very honest fellow , Mr. Hastings thought it might appear particular; and therefore, after their late intimacy of six months, accuses Mr. Middleton also before the Board at Calcutta. It was then that in the rash eagerness, which distinguished his pursuit of every object, Mr. Hastings had incautiously, but happily for the present purposes of justice, brought forth those secret letters. It mattered not what were the views which induced Mr. Hastings to bring that charge; whether he had drawn up the accusation, or obliged Middleton with his aid in framing a defence; the whole had ended in a repartee, and a poetical quotation from the Governor General: The only circumstance material to the purposes of humanity, was the production of instruments, by which those who had violated every principle of justice and benevolence, were to see their guilt explained, and it was to be hoped, to experience that punishment which they deserved.
The familiarity in which Mr. Hastings and his Agents lived;—those suborned letters from Hyder Beg;—those double ambiguous letters from the Nabob, about loving or hating , as Mr. Hastings liked best;—then his own complaints in 1783 against Mr. Bristow;—his accusations of Middleton and Johnson;—then the plans to puzzle the Directors at home, by way of "keeping their hands in;"—All, all, at last, had an end!—The good effect had arisen from this " providential folly ;"—It had brought out the guilt of all these Conspirators; and in proofs equal to what would be required in the Court of Justice! He said "that the Counsel had resorted to public letters for testimony;" for his part, he thought private ones the best evidence; they bring unintended facts. That in
tember 27, there was complaint of hardships the Vizier had undergone, in the Resumption of the Jaghires . That included in this, there was a long letter from the Nabob, which was suppressed.—That the letter of the Bow Begum, remonstrating against this resumption, had been commented upon, as violent and threatening. It was so, he did not deny.—She complained: She objected: But she only objected " to being starved ." A very capricious objection in truth! She had a whim for living —a small wish to eat ! in which he believed the Court would join in thinking her not unreasonable. That of the Rebellion , on which so much had been said, it was a resistance only which followed oppression, which arose from the hardships of Resuming the Jaghires . But even as it was, it was what the Governor General wanted, who rejoiced that these Princesses were driven to extremity—who thanked God "that there would be a little bloodshed."
On the 23d of September, he stated, that Sir Elijah Impey began his swearing. "He is here one day, said Mr. Sheridan, he is there another: But—like the Ghost in Hamlet, he was heard in every quarter, crying aloud—"Swear! Swear!" And the contrast of his pace and employment—the nimbleness of his motions, with the gravity of his errand—"are not amongst the least singular parts of his conduct. The similitude, however, went no further. He was never heard to give the injunction."
"Taint not thy mind—nor let thy soul deign Against thy mother aught!" —It was his business to let the Nabob against his Mother! The Son against his Parent!
It was necessary for him, he mentioned, to make some recapitulations, in order the more forcibly to collect the whole subject into one medium; but those few recapitulations might rather be termed cursory observations for strengthening the memory, than a minute detail.
With regard to the treaty of Chunar, nothing could be more infamous; and as to Sir Elijah's departing from the dignified situation in which he was placed by the royal authority, no reprehension could be too severe. Mr. Sheridan said, he had fully proved, that although Sir Elijah had intimated that he left Mr. Hastings after him on his departure from Chunar, yet, from incontrovertible evidence, nothing could be more fallacious.—He had, on this point, as well as many others, condemned Mr. Hastings and Sir Elijah Impey, by their own words.
Sir Elijah arrived at Chunar on the 1st of December, for the purpose of taking affidavits ; and, having accomplished that business, he and Mr. Hastings left Chunar, on the road to Benares. The collecting affidavits from persons of no character or influence whatever, was an infamous conduct.
On the subject of those affidavits , he would only make another singular observation.—Sir Elijah Impey had denied all acquaintance with their contents, although he had been actually accompanied to Buxar, by Major Davy, who there translated them from the Perisan , for the use of Mr. Hastings!—There was amongst them an affidavit taken in English , from a native at Buxar, but which was first explained to the Deponent by Major Davy, in the presence of Sir Elijah Impey!
This certainly might appear very extraordinary—but then it was palliated by Sir Elijah and his colleagues saying, that although they were presented in English , yet, that before the administration of the oaths, the nature of the affidavits was explained in a satisfactory manner. By whom were these fallacious instruments attested? By such of the natives as were the wretched dependents of Mr. Hastings—by such of the natives as were ignorant of the English language, consequently knew not what they had sworn to.—But the deception answered the emergency of affairs—some stratagem of the kind was necessary to make it appear that the Begums were in rebellion, and that the English Government was in danger of being overthrown. Thus had Mr. Hastings endeavoured to establish a state necessity for the resumption of the jaghires, and the seizure of the treasure.
It had been denied that any money had been received for a secret influence in the treaty of Chunar; but nothing was more fallacious. While Mr. Hastings was giving Mr. Middleton broad hints of its being generally understood that he had received a considerable sum; and while Mr. Middleton was protesting most solemnly against his knowledge of any money for that purpose, the Governor-general himself was in the secure possession of 100,000. received for that very service. O virtue, unqualified in ancient or modern times!

L O N D O N, June 26—28.
Extract of a Letter from Woolwich, July 1.
"Great preparations are making here for the launching of the Prince, a new second rate of 90 guns, on Friday next, the spring tides falling out about that time. The other ships building here are the Boyne of 98 guns, and Minotaur of 74 guns. A new second rate, as yet unnamed, is ordered to be immediately laid down on the same slip from whence the Prince is to be launched. The matroffes have field days constantly. Their review will be in a few days."
Sunday afternoon several very fine ships bound to Russia, which had been stopped on account of their having British seamen on board, failed down the river on their way to Peterburgh. They all carried small gun-boats on their booms, which are intended to act against the Turks on the frontier rivers.
An English cutter, mounting 12 six pounders, and lately purchased by the Grand Signior for the sum of 68,000 piasters, failed at the same time from Deptford. This cutter carried out a great quantity of powder and warlike stores, which the Porte lately purchased of some Turkey merchants resident in England.
Letters received by the Thetis, dated in January last, speak highly of the government of Earl Cornwallis, who it seems employs every moment of his time in forwarding the real interests of the Company, and the happiness of the natives. Bengal has suffered much from dreadful inundations, occasioned by the most heavy rains ever experienced. His Lordship's late tour up the country had chiefly for its object the relief of those manufacturers whose houses were destroyed, and whose works were consequently at a stand; to those unhappy people every encouragement was held out, and every means used that humanity could suggest, for the restoration of their drooping spirits and finances. The letters add the pleasing accounts, that thus encouraged, the manufacturers of Bengal were recovering all their wonted superiority; and that when the Thetis failed, the several country powers continued to give the most sincere tokens of their pacific disposition to the English East-India Company.
Tuesday died at his house in Harley Street, the Right Hon. Lord Say and Sele. The death of this nobleman was the consequence of an act over which it is impossible that the veil of secrecy can be thrown. For some days previous to his Lordship's death, an uncommon degree of inquietude seemed to incombent his spirits; he frequently burst into tears, but assigned no satisfactory motive for his uneasiness. On the morning of his dissolution, he submitted to have his hair dressed; but ap-
after the servant quitted his presence, he seized a sword, which about four years since was given him by the Duc de Conflans, and stabbing himself violently in three different parts of the body, almost immediately expired.
His Majesty has appointed Wednesday next to go to the House of Peers to put an end to the present session of Parliament.
The following extraordinary affair happened in the vicinity of Hanover-square a few days since: A country gentleman who had visited London, only for winter amusements, being well assured that his wife was carrying on an intrigue with a certain Major, laid the following plan, which was put in execution: he went seemingly to Maidstone for a few days, but returning on the night of the day he departed, he found the happy pair locked in each other's arms: He did not, however, challenge the adulterer to single combat, as is sometimes the custom—but he cauted him and the adulteress to be handcuffed and fettered by the legs in bed together, and yoked by the neck down to the bedside. In this situation, having decently covered them, he sent to their intimate friends and acquaintance and ushered them into the room, pointing out the modern Mars and Venus with great philosophical composure, and asking each if "this was not a sorry sight."—This kind of bedroom visiting was continued for four days, during which time he allowed the lovers nothing but bread and water.
THUNDER STORM.
Between three and four o'clock Thursday afternoon, a greater fall of rain than has been remembered for many years began, and continued incessantly for two hours, accompanied by some tremendous claps of thunder, and several flashes of lightning. The streets were totally impassable for foot passengers; and particularly at Northumberland-house, where St. Martin's lane joins the Main street, the current was so violent, that for some time horses in carriages were scarcely able to keep their feet. About Charing-cross, and in all the streets adjoining the water-side from the Strand, the lower parts of the houses were entirely under water. Near the bottom of Northumberland-street, such a stoppage took place in the sewer, that it burst up the pavement, and half the street across; and so entirely sapped the foundation of the house used as the Coal Meter's Office, that the inhabitants quitted it; and it was only prevented from falling by props put to it in various places.
During the above flora of rain, a ball of fire burst, with the loudest report almost ever heard about the middle of New George-street, and damaged and broke many windows.
Between four and five o'clock, by one convulsive and tremendous motion, part of the wall of the ditch in Tower-hill, and near the Tower gates was hurled down to the distance of near twenty yards, and an opening rent in the earth to about forty yards: and on the opposite, or East-side of Tower-hill, at the same time attended with a terrible rushing of waters, a rent has been made in the earth from the end next St. Catharine's, as far as the opposite corner to King-street, the bottom of the Minories. The aperture is in some places near two yards wide, and in many six yards deep.
The account we can collect from the spectators of this extraordinary event is, that the earth began to open about the size of a man's hand, and continued venting up, and widening as above described.
We cannot learn the cause of this convulsion: but leave it to those more conversant in the history of nature to ascertain.
In almost every part of London, the effects of this storm have been experienced in some degree. During the thunder and lightning Thursday afternoon, the mate of a vessel from the West-Indies, who had been struck with the palsy in the right side during his voyage home, which rendered his leg and arm quite useless, received a shock from a flash of lightning that entered at the cabin windows which actually restored his seemingly decayed limbs to their original function, with little or no damage from the electric fire, except singeing his coat and burning a part of his cheeks. The room was filled with a strong sulphureous smoke, which remained for several minutes.
BERMUDA, August 9.
We learn from New-Providence, that the Naval Officer at that place had fitted out an armed vessel for the purpose of seizing all Bermuda vessels which might be found cruising among any of the Caicos Keys; and having dispatched her to Windward, she met with a sloop belonging to Captain John Albouy and others, which she took down to Providence; on her arrival there the Collector seized her, deeming the Naval Officer's commissioning a vessel illegal, and got her condemned to him at their Court of Admiralty. The naval officer has appealed home for the prize , while the real owners of the sloop are either obliged to put up with the loss of their property, or send as much cash home for appealing as the vessel is worth; and if recovered at home, the property is confiscated by those barks before possession can be again had.
It is said the Courts of Law are entirely shut up in New-Providence, and that the Chief Justice was gone for England to make complaints against the inhabitants for insults offered him.
MIDDLE TOWN, August 25.
On Thursday last arrived here, Brig Friendship, Charles Magill, in 32 days from Martinico, Capt. Magill was in soundings 13 days, during which he saw the sun but three times.—He was back of Long-Island in the storm on Tuesday last, had his sails torn to pieces and chiefly blown away, and had not the wind providentially shifted about two o'clock P. M. he must inevitably have gone on shore.—Capt. Magill saw and spoke with seven sail of vessels on Monday and Tuesday before the storm.
N E W-H A V E N, August 25.
Yesterday we had a violent gale of wind, the height of which was from the S. E. about one o'clock. Though the tide was not so full as has been frequent in easterly storms, considerable damage was done to the Long-wharf, by the violence of the waves, and several vessels parted their fasts, but the shipping received no material damage. The Indian corn is much injured, and the trees stripped of their fruit, and some apple-trees blown down.
Last evening arrived, the sloop Benjamin, Ben. Brown, (via New-York) from Turks-Island, which he left in company with Capt. Leake. Capt. Brown was beating the Sound, during the storm, and had his sails much damaged.

Extract of a letter from Paris, June 19.
"M. P. Abbe Vella, a very learned professor of the Oriental languages in Sicily, has announced that he saw at Girgenti a volume of cotton-paper, written in the Western Moorish character, that contains a translation into Arabic of seventeen books of that part of Livy's history which is wanting. It goes from the 6th to the 77th. This last is not complete, and there are some chasms in the others, occasioned by being in some places worn eaten. The 6th begins at the epoch when the Consul Aurelius subdued the rebels of Sardinia after a very considerable slaughter, and went afterwards into Corsica to punish those who had bidden defiance to him. The 6th book opens with the foundation of Al- en Provence by the Pro-Consul L. Sextius, from whom that city took the name of Aquae Sextiae. The Abbe has already translated some of the valuable work, and promises to present the Republic of Letters with an edition of it in the Arabic language on one side, and the Latin or Italian on the other."
MR. CHILDS,
THERE is no doubt, I believe, but the writers under the signatures of BENEVOLUS and J. M. well know that the gentleman at whom their unfair and illiberal attacks are levelled, is absent on a journey; they also know that his friends and fellow citizens in general are not acquainted with this circumstance. The public on being informed of his absence, will be at no loss to determine the true motives which actuated the authors.

A COLLECTION of the MERCANTILE LAWS of the State of New-York, comprized in a small publication, has been long wanted.

THE Society for promoting the Manumission of Slaves, and protecting such of them as have been or may be liberated, having solicited charitable donations from the people in this city, for the purpose of establishing a school for the instruction of negro children; think it aduty they owe the public, to give some account of their proceedings in this important business.
The Society having agreed upon a number of rules and regulations for the government of the school, appointed twelve of their number Trustees, whose business it should be to engage a master, and visit the school every month, to examine the progress the scholars made in learning, and see that the regulations for the school were duly attended to.
The Trustees procured a master, and the school was opened on the first of November last, with a small number of scholars, it has been gradually encreasing from that time, and it now consists of forty-two scholars; several have been dismissed the school, and some bound apprentices to learn useful trades.
The Trustees have visited the school regularly every month, and have found from time to time, that the scholars have made uncommon progress in learning. Tho' the school was instituted principally for the benefit of the children of free negroes, the Society, at their last meeting, desirous of extending the benefit of it to others, authorized the Trustees to admit those that were slaves, upon condition of their masters paying 10s. per quarter. This stipulation was deemed necessary, as the funds of the Society at present, are not sufficient to maintain the school. Those children, who their masters design to liberate at a suitable age, are to be admitted without expence.
The Trustees esteem themselves happy in having obtained Mr. Davis for an instructor, as he appears uncommonly well qualified for the arduous undertaking. It may be proper to mention, that by one rule of the Society it is necessary that two of the Trustees should visit the children, and sign a paper for their admission to the school.
The present Trustees are, Matthew Clarkson, John Bleecker, Thomas Burling, Jacob Seaman, White Matlack, James Cogswell, Willet Seaman, Nathaniel Lawrence, William Cochran, William Backhouse, Richard
