A respite was yesterday morning receives! (until
the 14th of May) for Poron who was sentenced
to death at our last Assizes, and expeaed to be ex-
ecuted here this day, for altering aad uttering a
Country Bank note of Messrs. Willett, of The:find,
trout I to 101.

On Saturday last, Shadro.- neeven, for shooting at
Capt. Thomas Brooks, of the West Suffolk Militia,
with intent to rob and murder him ; and &ore
C 4, iaion, for horse stealing, were executed on the
drop at the New• Gaol, Ipswich. pursuant to their
sentence at our last Assizes. They both condoned
themselves with the greatest propriety, eviiicing
much penitence, and a hope of pardoa in the life to
come.
Christian addressed the populace in a very col-
Idled speech, saying, that although it might appear
extraordinary, that a man in hi, unhappy situation
should attempt to offer any advice, yet he warned
them against bad company, and particularly bad
women, with whom he had lived a life of dissipa-
tion. drunkenness, and debauchery, which had led
to his untimely end. Dewey also briefly spoke,
warning his comrades against his fate, being a sol-
dier, many of whom, he said, had deserved to stand
in his shoes. He acknowledged that he had loaded
the pistol, but that Hatcher (one of the men who
deserted) had snatched it out of his hand, and fsred
it at Mr. Brooks.

The deceased wishing to enlarge and improve his

for this purpose, and to visit several noblemen

(a vast quantity of which were pr •dosed is

it appeared, however, upon the cress-examination
of Reid, the carpenter who executed the work. that
the Plaintiff was t•.ot to be paid by tie deceased,
but by an allowance of 101. per cent. agreed to be
paid to him by the witness, upon all his profits. Do-

ordinary Indtuations, and mach speculation, have
taken plass, since the commencement of the present

however, heard of snore than three or four default-
ers. The greatest of them was deficient not more
than 30,0001. alussi ts. for the price of which he
had given a cheek upon his Banker ; hut when
tendered, it was refused. upon the ground, that the
party had not more than r 3,0001. in the Banker's
hands. Application, we believe, was made at the
Mansion-House, and other Offices, tor a warrant
to apprehend the defaulter ; but the Loan Mato',
and the other Magistrates. evinced their good sense,
and their knowledge of the law of the laud, by re-

REPORT.
In obedience to the direCtioni of the at supple..
mentary to the set entitled " An aet to establish the
Treasury Department," the Secretary of the Trea-
sury respatfully submits the following
REPORT ANTI ESTIMATES :
et:engine AND arestets.
The nett revenue soising from disti,, on nee- nottass.
eionnlize 4114 tonnage, which accrued during the year 11101, amounted to - - 12,0W79 k
The nett revenue arising from the same source,
winch at :rued dorm; the year DM, amounted
to - - 11,154,34
That. which accrued during the year lirS,
amounted to - - 11,306,435
And that which accrued riming the year len4,
amounted, after dedediug that portion which
arose tram the additional duties cir,.rtialitehe
the Mediterranean fund, as urn appear by the statement (A) to - - 1?,611,5?$ ~
it is ascertained that the net revenue which has ' a
*ferried during the three first quarters of the year
189.5, does not fall short of that of the correspond-
ing quarters of the year I 804 : and that branch of
the revenue may, exclusively of the Alediterraneaci
fund, be salely estimated, for the present, at twelve
millhins pf dollars, which is nearly the average of
the two years 1803 and 1904.
The defakation which took place is the year
180 t, and the increase in the neat following year,
b utiic a end y shew that no inconsiderable portion of
that bt anch of the revenue, is due to the neutrality
of the [united States, during the continuance of the
war in Europe. Yet, if the revenue of 180 V., the
only yew' of Enropean pence since 1792, be consi-
dered as the b..sis on which to form an estimate,
this, with an addition of ten per cent. on account of
the increase of population for three yeah', and of
near 3U),000 dollars, the eereputed revenue of New
Orleans, will give a result of near eleven millions
and a half.

The statement (B) ethibits in detail the several
species of merchandize and o•her sources from which
that revenue was collected during the year 1804.
The revenue arising from the sales of public hauls
has been greater during the year ending on the SOta
September, 1803, than that of any pre:eding year.
It appears by tl.e statement (C) that during that pe-
riod, besides 143,000 acres, soli to persons claiming
a right of pre-emption, 474,CU0 acres have been
disr sed t the nrstimary sales, making altoge-
ther, with the prece..ling 'ale., from the time csl.en
the land ogees were opmed it, 1800 and 1801, an

ol'ersartu Clitti,
tleineW df the Staab techaege posses, by which
they can teal tip min's faculties at pleasure, we have
navel learned; but this wondrous secret, it is evident,

tea only be the lot of a few ; for one half of rhos:
Gentlemen must be as interested in lowering the
funds. as the other half in raising them. Thus,.tu
give an air of probability to this snits:ion of the
mystery, it is necessity that the one half of
these supernatural ag:nts of the Stock Exchange,
who cannot discover the artifice by which they are
abused. should be as dull of sense as the public.—
Others have assigned a third cause for the rise in
the Funds,and attributed it tothe recent change its the
Government of Holland, which, they assert, has ir.-
ducod the principal Dutch Capitalists to remove their
propetity to this country. 44 Riches," we are told,
ss make unto themselves wings, and Ay;" but we be-
lieve there is no hoof of any such extraordinary
flight in the present case. It is curious enough to
observe, that thever y persons who maintain thisargu-
ment, not long since assured us, that every gilder
which could be frightened nu of Holland, had long
since arrived here ; and left the land the prey of
penuryand want. It would, lin wever, require ne small
iellaz of mousy to produce the great change which
the funds have exprienced. But in laying farts be-
fore our reeding, and deducing fair inferences from
them, we do not mean to pledge ourselves that peace

• MTV, r:iOVE

I talk'd to ins flattering heart,
And I chid wanctPritte ways;
I charged it from folly to part,
And to husband the best of its days
• I bade it no Ir tiger admire
The meteors' that fancy had rifest :
I whispeed, torte to retire,.
And seek for a Mansion of Ite,t.

A charmer was list'oing the while,
Who caught up the tone of my lay :
Oh come then, she cried, with a smile,
And 11l chew you the place and the way
I followed the witch to her home,
Aud vow'd to be always her guest :
" Never more, I exclaied, will I ream,
" In search of a Mansion of Rest.
But the sweetest of moments will fly y
Not lung was my fancy beguira,
For, too soon I confere'd, with a sigh,
That the Sy:en d.neir'd, while she smil'd ;
Deep,,deep, dud she stab the repose
Of my trusting anti innocent breast,
And the door of each avenue close,
T:iat led to the Mansion of Acct.

Then friendship entie'd me to stray,
Through the lung inagie wiles of romance,
nut I found that he meant to betray,
And I shrunk from the sorcerer's Once;
Ft•r experience had tar et me to know,
That the soul which reclin'd on his breast,
Might on the blows of woe,
But nee, fi.di s Mansion of Rest.

Pleasure's path I determin'd to try.

MADRAS GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, Sart 19, 18:1.5.
On Monday, anchored in the Roads, the French
privateer Henrietta, of 20guns, prize to His Majesty's
Terpiehorr, Capt. Bathurst.
Captain Bathurst, on the 20th ult. and whilst
cruising off the Port of St. Denny's, at the Isle of
Bourbon, saw the Hellrietia at an anchor, close in
with the land, and protefted by two formidable bat-
teries ; her advantageous situation could not, how-
ever, proteft her. A spirited and gallant attack
was immediately made by His Majesty's ship, and
within half an hour the French colours were struck;
the major part of the Ifew.irtles crew hating throw•
themselves overboard, and swam on shore.
The Henrietta kept up a brisk and well
fire for same time ; a heavy fire tram the batteries
alio continued, till the Terptichort, and her prize, had
gained an offing, and were out of the range of their
shot.

The Terpsichore had, we learn, four men killed,
and four wounded ; the enemy's loss we have not
ascertained.
The Ifenrzcita arrived from France about ten
months ago; she is a h indsome ship, and sails re-
markably well. She was on the point of sailing for
India when captured.

sometimes it may be a mifortarte, to ler in debt.
However, doubts being now strongly urgiid as to
the bearings of the law, it became the tioihe ttf
dc-
elare the law upon it; in all proceedings or the
kind, it should be considered, thst the law of the
Land was to be det.ided by that liters.. The case,
as it now stood, struck hint in f.lrciblr. that if no.
other Lord should come birward, he niallei Ition.elf
propose a declaratory law upon the subjet% and
upon the grounds on which eight of His Majesty's
Judges had decided. He htlieved the Nsble atid

stated respeeilig his humus's, their Lertithips
would bear in mind. that an ex pelt (at*/ and a de-
claratory law, were very diierrnt considerations. •
Lord .ELLENDOROUGH stated, that he agreed
se entirely with the opinions so ably delivered by
his Noble Friend who had just sat down, it was ass.
necessary for him to take up their Lordships' time
upon the subje& He observed, the objeaion ad-
verted to was a legal bar to the examination of a
witness; he had lived in ignorance of it until almost
that very Lour. In the course of his 23 years expe-
rience. he never knew of any iastance of such an
nhjetlion being urged in Court I nor could there, be
believed, he found in the whole t 4 folio volumes of
Viner's Compilation, but one single instance of the
ease. lie thought a declaratory Itw upon the sub-
ket, would now be proper. It mar pro, eed worm
the principle, that persons who should g'ive evidence
in such cases, should not have the ma:ter 4 that
evieence adduced against them, except on vety
particular case., as malicions prosecutions, &C. It
was certainly fit, that the public mind should be
rendered quiet, as to the doubts which hag been
started.

Earl STANHOPE spoke shortly in erp!anrion
and, after his Bill had been read a first time, its
proposed its second reading on Tuesday ~est.
Lord WAI-SINGHAM said a few words re.
peeling the important business which stood for
that day. However, the Bill was crdered to he
read a second time, on that day ; and, in the rnlan
time, a sufficient number of copies to be printed,
for the use of their Lordships. Acijourned till
