IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS—TIUDAY, Ants 1111.

TIGHE'S DIVORCI. RILL.
Counsel was heard at the Bar upon the second
reading of Tighe's Divorce Bill.
Mr. G•ttsow, on behalf of the Petitioner. stated,
that he is a gentleman of very considerable pro-
perty in Ireland, and had been a member of the
It ish House of Commons nail the Union between
tl:e two countries : he had been married some years
to Mrs. Tighe, who *as young and beautiful, and
they lived together in perfeft harmony and affec-
tion until the unfortunate period of her disgrace.
Mr. Dives Jones, her seducer, was a near relation
of her own, and under a semblance of friendship f
the husband while on a visit at his linw,e, cb.prived
the one of her virtue and the other of his social
comforts and peace of mind. The moment the
unhappy business was discovered, Mr. Tighe brought
her back to her father's house, where she has re-
mained ever since. Mr. Tighe brought his action
in the Court of King's Bench in Ireland against
Mr. Jones, and the jury found a verdia of damages
to the amount of 1(40001.

Two male servants, ,and nne female servant, be.
longing to Mr. Tighe, were then es:arnined at the
bar of the House, who proved several was of crimi-
nality commited in the garden, in the green house,
and in a cottage on the borders of Mr..Tighe's de.
mesne.

Mr. Richard Bayly, a gentleman belonging to
the War Office, was next examined, who proved
that Mr. Dives Jones had been a captain in the 34tk
regiment of foot ; that he was on leave of absence
in Ireland in the rear 1799, which was the time the
act was committed ; be further proved several other
times at which he had been on leave of absence, and
had joined his regiment, etc.
The LORD CHA NCELLOR observed, that the
judgment was obtained is the year ISO% and no
application was made in the matter until now • he
thought it but necessary that the House should he
informed what the parties had been about Lye?'
since, and why an application had not been mach
sooner ?
Mr. G•e Low said that Mr. Jones had been sor-
time out of the kingdom: he had been in Egypt w a
his regiment, and they had never been able to i.
certain what property he was possessed of, so as tc
levy the amount of the verdict.
Mr. Daniel, a gentleman from Ireland, wan then
examined : he said, he bad always anderst•.od Mr.,
ned
Jones was entitled to no property what•-yer till aft
his father's death ; that he arts :t r::... of Irela .
and his father lived at that time in Lublin; he ha known Mr. Dives Jones intimately, but had nev
seen him since the business in question; that Mr I
Tighe also lived in Ireland, and was a Member of
the late Irish Parliament until the Union. Mrs.
Tighe lived near Chester with her father and his fa.
mily, ever since she was brought home to him b 3
Mr. I ighe, that she had constanCy resided in Eng.
land, and he in Ireland, ever since; that he had news
seen her after; and that he, Mr. Tighe, never had an)
correspondence with her from that time, as he bus
lieved.
When the Counsel and Witnesses had ask?)),
drawn, the Dill was read a second time, and orderer
to be committed on Thursday next.
His Royal Highness the Duke of CI. AREVCI
observed, that as this was the first Bill id the kint
since the Arft of Union, and one in which 6- moral,
of the people were concerned, he hoped dr•ir Lord
ships would not be too precipitate ; but, brpostpon
ing the Committee to a longer dae, give the Hous.
opportunity of discussing rt more tulle.
The Earl of WES I'MEATH said it was his wisl
to acquiesce in His Royal Highness's proposition
but, as Mr. Tighe was at an enormous expence il4
keeping his witnesses here, and retaining Counse
which he must necessarily do until the Bill w
through its various stages;
_and as,from the eviden
given at the Bar of the House, the matter was
yond any possibility of a doubt, he did Lope a
these circumstances would induce their Lord •
to dispose of the Bill as speedily as they could.
Lord 1111.ILGRAVE made a few observations
the 'Amt side, when His Royal Highness ag
LlerQw.
Two Bills were brought up from the Comm
and read a fast time.
Alter which, the House went into a Commit
on the Aylesbury Election BiR, and the sever
Clauses being read, the Chairman reported progr
and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time tea
MOM W.
Th • House then adjourned to Three o'clozit Pi
=mow.

NOCSE OF COMMONS.
?'lr. HARM v presented a Petition from the to
of Droirlieda, ii Ireland, against ibe Re of
Committee on the Ccro frale•-.Orderedto lie
the Table.

A Message from the Lends iarnrnied the Hoar
that their L0r.1.1 ips had as-ented t, the Ca
Canal Bill, withuut am Ansenhnents.
Tne Lords also recmsted, that the Howse
famish their Lordships with the Minutes of the Cow!

nittee appointed to enquire into the state of the effin
n Ireland; and likewise the exchange between
inalaisd and Ireland.--Ordered.
The Bill for tegnlating the prices of grain, meal,
tnd Hour, to and from Great Brita:n and Ireland,
espeteively, was read a first, and ordered to be read
second time tomorrow.
The Report of the Corn Committee was received,
end of dered to be recommitted to-morrow.
Mr. S. BOURNE moved for leave to bring in a
101, to punish the counterfeiting dollars in England,
tod what ne called tokens in Ireland.
Mr. PIIINSF.P ohjeaed to this motion, on the
round that no coin should be issued without the
tuthnrity of the master of the mint. which was not
le case with dollars.
After a few words from Mr.S. BOURNE, leave was
given to brill in the Bill.
It. The Danish Mint Machinery Exportation Bill was
wad a second time, and ordered to be committed to-
DerrOW.
Mr. S. BOURN: E moved for leave to bring in a
Sill for issuing Exchequer Bilis, to he made good
iWn aids of such grants and supplies as may be
tweed for the service of the year 1804.
Mr. WHITBREAD said, that understanding the
Tapers he had moved for, relative to the Lord Advo •
tie of Scotland, had this day been presented, he
moved that the same be printed for the use of the
Members ; and gave notice, that it was his intention
bring 'toward Ms motion on the subjeC, on Fri-
day next.
Mr. JERVIS moved the Order of the Day for the
second reading of the Prize Agency Bill, in 'order to
postpone the same to this day se'nnight, which was
clone accordingly.
ADDMONAL FORCE MI,. •
Mr. rrrT moved the Order of the Day for the
third reading of the Additional Force Bill.
Mr. TYRE said, he deemed this Bill to be a dan-
perous innovation on the Constirntion, and as such
had been extremely anxious the House should re-
jell it. The clause, however, which was yesterday
introduced, had removed great part of his objec-
tions. As to the question of removing Ministers to
make way for men in whom he had greater confi-
dence, he was averse from it, from the recent example
s-if an Hon. Gentleman being driven from the helm
of Government, who had uniformly united atcono-
toy with vigour, and, during his whole administra-
tion, retained the esteem of all parties, for the in-
variable regard to the principles of the British Con-
witetion.
Mr. WINDHAM said, he considered the fate of
the Bill as pretty well decided, and that the mea-
elle was absolutely determined on • but he was so
ri leely impressed with the ruinous eals of the Bill,
hat he must beg leave to disburthen his mind on
hos- points which have been overlooked, or not
.ufficiently attendtd to in the various discussions
m the Bill. He first viewed it in regard to
he recruiting for the regular army, and was sorry
o find, that, instead of the good old standard
play of Tile Rerraite.vofree we were to put up with
s new untried piece called The Regimental re.-
Iy, or Church Ira-Jens. This Bill, he
:aid, diridcd itself into two questions. tst, How
• it was necessary to recruit the regular
witty by a force raised from limited ta reice ?
3,11 f, To what arr ount it should be carried, and for
what length of set +ice f The 4ight Hon. Gentle-
man then tonk a view of the di ent provisions of
the Bill nearly on the same groand which he had
trodden on the geestion for the second reading of the
Bill, and insisted that the ellesl would be, that it
would be like a dead weight on the military spirit of
the country, and, like wet sand thrown on a fire,
would extinguish its martial and heroic ardour.
There were in every country three certain descrip-
tions of persons who will enter into the military ser-
vice: those who prefer the borne service; those,
though not so numerous, who wish to enter into
Foreign set vice, in preference to the home service;
and those who, from a carelessness of disposi-
tion and versatility of temper, are willing to
enter into any service at all. He reprobated the
Bill, as fraught with inconsistencies; as tendu.g to
bribe men by double bounties, to enter, first into
limited, and then into the general service; as calcu-
lated to become s exatious became frivolous, and
frivolous Societe., vexatious • as imp. nog penalties
en people for net doing what it was uses.' • and to
all intents and purposes, out of their powet t.. do.
He insisted that, throughout the greatest pita of
the kingdom, the parishes will give up the point at
once, and pay the tine, by which it will become a
system of extortion, from those who can't afford to
pay ; and a Bel of pains and penalties against those
who have never intentionally offended, or com-
mitted a crime. The effea it will have on the pa-
rish oilizers will be this : it will make them more
litigious and veaa:i.us than they have ever hitherto
been. It oil: not excite the military ardour and
spirit of the couuuy, but wi 1 rather extinguish it.
it will not increase the regular army, but rather
tend to di.oi;.isli it. It will be attended with this
fur tl.er nii.chievous are, that it will fill the country
with crimps—will produce an immoderate ex pence
—and keep up that competition which has been 13
•eoli complained of in the Army of Reserve, and
which was the chief rea on for suspending its ope•
ration. The effete cif this Bill must operate in
itch a manner, as, like that, to raise the bounty, and
of coat se to increase tile competition. It would have
been much mote rational and politic to hay, begun
with a small bounty, and to have gone on to a
large one, rather than to begin with a .high bounty
hit first. Ile was perfectly convinced, that front
the operation of the Bill. many of the parishes
will be induced to give high bounties, and in that
case you will get no men ; you will, however, have
a cons. quest increase of litigation. Parish Officers
will find' it necessary to learn military affairs, and
military men will become students of law. ho that
the chief ,Gent-rd of an Army must become an At-
torney-Central, and insteae of sending them to mi-
litury academies, you must give them a ion A the

of the Regular Army; as a nu a.ure which had bees
hastily delivered to the Home, as it was hastily con-
ceived by the mini of the Right lion. Gattleman,
and in its operation wholly inn: event for the purtx,ses
for which it was intended. It had been compare.l
to the Army of Reserve Bill, but was nothing like
i. ; and he should. usi sitt!'asos too great,

which might induce the House ,to recousi4icr the
Bill, before they suffered it to proceed hit ther.
Mr. NTT, in Ctplitiution, declared the Rt. Hon.
Gentleman spoke in a total misapprehension of the
plan, which he (Mr. Put) had on a former occasion
detailed to the House. 2`irotwitlistanding all the
wit, humour, and sarcasm, as well as invefiiye, with
whien the Right lion. Gentleman opposed this mea-
sure, it was the yery!sanie in principle which he had
before stated' to the House. He would assert that
he had expressly proposed recruiting by !wishes.
Mr. FOX said, he suppe,ed it would be recruit-
ing by the pai jibes for the parishes.

PARIS, JUNE 9.

LETTER 01 THE GRAND JUDGE. TO GENERAL

MOKEAV.

I submitted your letter of this day, Citizen
Cffteral Moreau, to the First Consul, at 11 o'clock
this night.
Ills mind is extremely afreazd by the measures
of rigour, which the safety of the State required
of him.

" At the moment of your first interrogatory, and
while the conspiracy, and your connedion with it,
were not yet denounced to the first authorities, or to
France, he had charged me to condud you before
him, Shad you expresse.4l a desire to that effea.
" Before an appeal was made to justice, I was wil-
ling, by a second interrogatory,todiscove, whether it
were not possible to separate your name from this
odious affair. But you afforded me no opportunity.
" Now, that the judicial proceedings are com-
menced, the law ordains that no document a7ainst
or on behalf of the accused be with-held from the
judges; and the Government has ordered me to add
your letter to the other proceedings.
" Bth March. (Signed) " R sourer ."
The journal de Dyeu of the 29th ult. contains
the following articles--" The Grand Judge has,
as a measure of public safety, ordered the PtefeEt
of our department, to send in a general list of all
persons included in the late amnesty, emigrants,
or Chouans, under the ins?edion of the police, in-
cluding even those emigrants nr priests, who have
entered France in consequence of the SCIIaiNJ Con-
:ales of the 6th Floreal, year 10, and who, since the
first Vendemaire that year (Se,•t. 2d, 1802). have
obtained passes either for the interior or for foreign
countries. The Mayors and Sub Prefeas cannot
in future, on any pretence whatever, deliver a pass,
without first reporting it to the Grand Judge, who,
thaw hearing the opinion of the Prefcsl, will
permit or refuse it ; and no person, under
pain of being arrested, can be permitted to leave
his home without a pass. These inconvenien-
ces are required by the public safety, as, if every
person was at liberty to travel where and as often
as he chooses, it would be.impossible for the po-
lice to watch over the conduel of suspicions or
suspeded persons; and it is certainly better that
a few good Citizens sufl'_•r some trouble, than
that the State should be troubled by the evil-minded,
by Conspirators, or by English Emissaries, whom our
Prefed, in a letter to the Constituted Authorities
in our department, accuses of being the cause of the
numerous desertions among our conscripts, mho; if
the Sub-Prefeds and Ntayors were stria in the ob-
servance of the law concerning passes, could find
no plsce any where to conceal themselves."

tRIVATE LETTER,

Though our Spring reviews are over, and Trento(
our troops returned to their former quarters, four
ar.nies, of 40,000 men each, may be ready to ad at
a mouth's notice, according to the di.7pcsitions ma !a
by our Sovereign; and which the present unsettled
state of Europe requires. The different parks of
artillery continue in the same state as during the re-
views; and the completing of the new regiments
raised in Westphalia is hastened in such a manner,
th it, before three m mths, our troops will be aug-
mented with 25,f :0 men from the territories ob-
tained by the treaty of indemnity. Our arsenals
and military magazines are so well stocked, that
three campaigns, if ever so disastrous. cannot
empty them. sly the regularity and economy
of our King, the financial department is in an
equally flourishing state as the military; and
the royal ueasury contains more money in gold than
is required to pay armies, more numerous than
even our', for years. In such a formidable posi-
tion, it is not surprising if most other states court
our alliance, and that the balance of power must
incline to the side we join ; and that, if we remain
netiaal, the Continent will continue in it. present
political anarchy. '11:e personal friendship between
Frederic William and Alexander is regarded by all
Laval men, who love their country and abhor E 01141••

WEDNESDAY, JUNI 20.

Last night we received a series of the Mon:tesr
to the 10th instant. There is a long supplement to
the Paper of the 6th, containing the interrogatories
and aniwers of Nlopeau, Pico ECRU, and the other
alleged conspirators, upon their several private ex-
aminations. These appear to be the only proofs ad-
duced upon trial to establish the guilt of the Prison-
ers. Their great length prevents us from entering at
present into any particular detail or observations. We
have only translated the pretended le•.ter of the

Mr. JACKS seconded the Motion.

The question having been read ;
Mr. W•rrnu AV made a most admirable reply,
called the attention of the Court to three avowed
:jet% of the Motion. He said, no question ever in-
educed into that Court had been so heavily and
ally supported. This he did not at all attribute
• the want of ability in the Gentlemen who
tight it forward, who, he doubted not, would,
pen proper occasions, display that altility they
ere thought to possess; but the Question it.
If could not be supported by any precedent.
The first avowed object of the motion, he
Ted, was the patriotism of Mr. Addington, in tin.
ertaking the Administration at such a perilo,is (H-
-is: this he combated with the m..st pointed strain
ridicule ; and asked, if, when they heard of Mr.
'ti's resignation, any man in that Court, or the
atien, if he had been called upon to say who was
kely to succeed him, would ever have thought of
.r. Addington? (.1 great cry Bear! Marl)
'oeld that Court then commit such an absurdity
s to thank a man, who was not known as a states-
, n, for undertaking a situation of such importance
so perilous a time ? In feet, lie came in on the
einciple of exclusion, and as the declared enemy of
he liberties of the people, so far as respeaed the
.atholic question : the people of them sel ve ; provided
?ontaneously for the national safety, and he was
.t supported but as a Minister on mere sufferance.
ae next point was his economy ; here he chewed
at no enterprise of any glory having been under-
kelt or achieved, the expences could not be so
at when our whole operations were confined to
efenee ; hut he chewed that the taxes substituted
•r the income tax, were, so far as respected per-
.ns in trade, who were allowed an abatement of
athirst., en unjust impost, as they paid in much
hove their fair proportion, and also in the late pro.
y.tar no deduction whatever was allowed. The
ird point was, his regard for the constitution and
e liberties of the people. Here ho stated, that the
come Tax, and particularly the last duty on will-
ows, u Lich gave surveyors the right of entering our
uses, were sliree't infringements on tint constitu-
n, and, its feet, was laying all the houses in the
irgdom order an excise. These were the avowed
bjes'ts of the motion; but he contended, the real
hind or drat of the motion was a vote of censure
the Administration which preceded it, and en
plied charge of violating the constitution, and also
implied censure on the condudt of those Mem-
rs of Parliament who had lately so nobly exerted
.emselves towards forming a more efficient A dniini.

Lann rRopER ry --(...•OURT Of SESSION.
A lew Jars ago, the Court had under their consi-
deration two cases not uninteresting is the Public.
The first turned upon the general question, whe-
ther there be any literary property. under the Aft
of Queen Anno, where there has been no entry of
the work in Stationer.'-'tall ? This question arose
respeding the works of our favourite Poet, Burns.
Hi; Poems were first published in 1787 ; and, by his
lamented death in 17nri, the endurance of the pro-
perty in those Poems WAS limitnl to fourteen years
from their publication. But he composed some new
pieces, for an edition of his Poems which was pair-
lished in 1793. He had published also many pieces,
and the greater part of his enchanting seng in the
admired work of Mr. Thomson, remelting to him-
self the property : And. on his death, his Lxecutors
frnind a great many Paems worthy of mbliearion,
which did not seem to have been pu!dishcd before.
In the edition which Dr. Currie, of Liverpool, pre-
pared for the benefit of the Poet's family, the Poems
of 1793, the songs first published in Mr. Thomson's
collection, and some new pieces, were included ;
and this edition was purchased Mei-s. Cadet! and
Davies, of London, and Mr. Creech, of Uslitt-
bunzh. This edition was printed and published in
London, in 1800; but as it has been understood for
along period of years, in England, that it is not ne-
cessary t enter a work in Stationers' Hall, to pre-
serve the pope. ty, this was not entered. The pub-
asher of Dr. Currie's edition snot found reason to
complain of depredations. Editions were prepared
in great numbers, all over Scotland, of all Burns's
fn.nurite Poems, and published very cheaply, in-
s:biding the pieces of which the term was not ex-
pired, as well as those of which the term was out.
Application was made to the Court of Session for a
susprision and interdid (similar to an injundion in
England), and that was followed up by an Aaiun of
damages. The defence was chiefly grounded on the
lad, which was not disputed, that the editions of
170 and 1800 were not cntt rcd in Stationers' Hall.
It was contended, that such entry was, by the sta-
tute, indispettablv necessary to bestow an exclusive
privilege on the author or his assigns; and that it
had been so decided by the (7c:um of Session in two
(miner cases. By the Assignees of the heirs of
Burns. it was contended, that this was nut the true
interpretatinu of the Statute; but that the Court

by the Court if K inn's Bench, the pradice of ro.k.
sellers had been regulated, and the entry in Sta-
tioners' H4ll praised only where there was .t desire
f securing the penalties.
'1 he Court of Session, however, found the entry
in Stationers' Hall an absolute condition of the ex-
cimive privilege, without which no right was vest-
ed ; and as there had been nn entry in this case, they
found the publication unohjedionable, dismissed die
aftion of damages, aiid recalled the into did origi-
nally granted by the Lord Ordinary upon the Bilk.

The mho vase. which th- Court had under its
conrrd:•r.tti.rn on the Sam: day, also regarded lite-
rary property. Burns had addressed a number of
let:cis to is Lady, whom he chose to distinguish by
cue niir.e of Chrrin•ht. Ti►ese letters found their
way to the public ; and being deemed be the friends
of Ilurns in au shape lionoarable to his memory,
t'lev applied to the Court of Session far an inter-
din to stop the ,ale. The abstract question decided
by the Court was,whether, even on the supposition of
a consea by the receiver,lletters carithus be published
a 411... tt the consent of the writer, or after his death)
cf his representatives. The Judgcs were decidedly
of opiniois, that the receiver of a letter has no right
to publish it without the consent of the writer. ( r
of his represeniatives after his death ; and therefore
granted a perpetual interdict against the publication
and sale of " Bawds Lriters So Chir;ada."
