" The object of this well•toldtale is at once to set forth the

ficence in an humble and obseu-c sphere, and to exhibit a
moving picture of the misery of which war is productive"—
Monthly Rev. July, 1804.
" This is an interesting, afectint, and instructive tale: re-
plete with good sem!, and gout morals. 'T lie narrati‘e is
ably written, the langua,:e is good, ant the sentiments are un-
exceptionable "...Anti-Jecnbin Rea. Feb. 1804.
" The spectacle which this little volitme presents is the moat
affecting that is posoble to conceive. It assumes, indeed*, the
humble designation of a tale; but it it a tale in which intim
genuine morality mar be learned, than in some of the most
volensinens Weems ef ethics. Though simple. it is natural,
and deeply interesting; far mot: so, snivel, than thousinds
in which every art has been exhausted fir attaining this Atier.t.
No man possersed of common feeling will peruse this vamoose,
without hating the nobler propormues of his nature strength
cited and refined; for it breathes the real spirit of patriotism,
domestic virtue, and rational re'igion.".wili. British Meg and

HOUSE OF LORDS—Tilt:asp/kr, Juts' 11.
lob Committee of P,ivileget, some farther proceedings ob-
tained with respect to the CLIIMS to the Zouclie Peerage ; the
farther consideration of which was adjourned ti 1 the neat
Sirhion.
Toe Hills upon the Table, chiefly private, were read a third
time and paused. The Impeachment C ,ntinualion Bill, and
the Townletan Collection Bill also went through their last
stages.
The Judges, pursuant to the Order of the-House,
being in attendance ;
The LORD CHANCELLOR quitted the Wool-
sack ; and, in pursuance of what transpired in the
discussion of last night, rose for the purpose of sub-
mitting an important law proposition to their consi-
deration. He adverted, in the course of his obser-
vations, to the several positions which had been ad-
vanced ; and also to the dictum of a Noble and
Learned Lord, respeaing the competency of e
witness in certain cases to demur ; and concluded,
as the result of the whole, by subfttitting a question •
to the following effea, for the opinion of the Law
Lords—

Whether, in point of law, a witness Or compellable to
minter questions, the answer to which may not tend to mania-
iiata himself, but may establish, or tend to establish, that he
owes a debt, for the fernery of which he may be liable to a
civil suit"
This question was ordered to be referred to the
consideration of the Learned Judges.
Lord MINI'O, introductory to an additional
question, which he deemed it proper to refer to the
consideration of the Judges, repeated several of his
observations of last night upon the general sub-
jen. He particularly dwelt upon the important
distinction between a civil anion instituted on the
part of the Crown, and one instituted by ordinary
individuals, as, in the former case, he argued, it was
of the nature, and had the died, of a criminal
proLeeding : there was, therefore, he contended, a
substantial difference between a suit so instituted
and a common suit for debt. The query he hod
to propose was, Whether, in point of law, a wit-
ness was required to answer questions, the answer
to which may not expose him to a criminal prosecu-
tion ; but, may expose him to a civil suit on the part
of His Majesty, for the recovery of profits made by
him, by the use and application of public monies
entrusted to his charge ?"
The LORD CHANCELLOR shortly obsoletede
he should make no objenion to the Motion ; of Idle
same time, by his agreeing so far, it did not
low, that his opinions upon the point adverted tie
were similar to those of the Noble Lords.
The question was then put, and the proposition
of Lord Minto was, in like manner, referred to the
consideration of the Learned Judges.
Pursuant to the Order of the Day. the opinion elk
Judges was delivered (by Lord Chief Justice: lads
o) upon the Irish Appeal Cause—Rowe via • -
Power. After which,
The LORD CHANCELWR rose, nude
observations upon the case, and moved-
Decree of the Irish Court of Chancery
which was agreed to.
Mr. WHI !TREAD brought up from
mots a Bill to indemnify certain persons •
to the evidence to be given by them in the Impends-
sent of Henry Lord Viscount Melville, lilt.
This we understood to lie a new Bill, formed
agreeably to the Amendments made by their Lord-
ships in the former Bill on the subjen. (See the
Proceedings of the Nonce of Commons.)
The relevant Standing Orders being suspended,
in consequence of a Motion duly made on a former
evening ;
Lord HAWKESBURY moved the first reading
of the New Witnesses Indemnity Bill, which was
accordingly read. After which, it was, on his
Lordship's Motion. immediately read a second
time. The question for the commitment of the
Bill was negatived.
Previous to the third reading of the Bill, it was
perused by the Lord Chancellor. It was then read
a third time and passed, without any observations
being made on the part of any of their Lordships,
and a Message sent to acquaint the Commons
therewith.
The Paddington Canal Bill was returned from
the Commons by Mr. At. es “ni a ; as were one or
two Private Bills by Sir Jowls FRLDEllict.
The opinions of the Judges were then delivered
on the Irish Appeal Cause—Fairfield r. Man, .
The House afterwards affirmed the decree tithe
Irish Court.
The LORD CHANCELLOR delivered his sen-
timents at somo length re.pening the Scotch Appeal
Cause—Campbell and others z. McNair and Allan
and concluded by moving a Resolution, the effen cf
which, in a great degree, was to remit the case back
for the further revision of the Court of Session.
Their Lordships then, pursuant to the Order of
the Day. resolved into a Committee, for the purpose
of taking into consideration the answer of the Com-
mons to their Lordships' Message of a former day ;
requesting a copy of the evidence upon which the
Common; had passed the Duke of Athol's Annuity
Bill
The Clerk then read the differert precedents.
which a Committee of their LordAllips had found
as applicable to the case under consideration—afrer
