tion 61 Mr. Topping, and, if the Court pleased,
every purpose would be auswered, without the
parties coming into Court, as has Client was ready
to deliver Mies Moorhouse over to her father.
Mr. Toreten suggested to the Coed, that it
would be giving the act more sokninity, by its beillg
done in Court. and, perhaps, prevent a repetition
of the offence.
Lira! ELLawsctorMit—" I am of opinion that
we ought Hot, in this case, to dispenee with the
form:dales of the Court ; lel the parties appear
before us."
Captin Shelton, accompanied by Miss Elizabeth
Moortiouse, a beadtiful girl, only fifteen years of
age, came taste Court. The proper Deicer read art
affidavit, made by Captain Shelton, stating, that
Miss Moorhou'e had accompanied'lnkri, in the first
instance, with her own free-will ; that be bad never
made nse of force to carry her an; and that she
was at perked liberty us go wherever the Cault

be handed over to her father.
Mr. Moorhouse came into Court, the picture of

There were several affidevits read ou the part of

punisbutent, on a person of the nine place, for ob-
structing the military service; and, without orate
mollies were made, the service df the army and
navy could out be made effectual.
Mr. CLAIM, in an eloquent speech, in mitigation
of judgment, said, after they had committed the
offence, they wished to make every atonement it

their conduct. There were uo vicious habits to

POLITICAL REVIEW.

!cam • Tees ell PERIODICAL WORK.]
The following is the result which may be de-
educed, by the most accurate calculations, from
the Treaty of Vienna, with respect to the populew,
otn which Austria cedes anitietitins. I f
Three years ago her pupil:int:in was reduced, by
the Treaty of PresburghTlfium 25.000,000 to
te,300,000. Au increase dtiiig the Peace made
the number of her poptdatio 22,600,000 ; but thel
cessions uow ascertained or indicated by the Treaty
of Vienna, include u population of 3.430,000.—e
'The true state of Austria will not be exactly known,
uutsl the ceded provinces shall have received tiler
swig' organisation; but it will not be hazard.
ing too much to say, that henceforth the populae
non of the Austrian territories will not exceed
I 1,000,1100.
It ie not difficult to conjecture the effect which
such. negocistion must have produced at Paris, at
Vieunie throughout all Germany. and in Italy. It
is riot. difficule to determine the effect which it
will produce to Spain, where it must rein the last
hopes of the rebels, and at Lomlon, where the NB-
iststers must soon contemplate, in all its magnitude,
the enormity of the error which they hue caused
Austria to commit. The new dispositions which
will he the consequence of this treaty are still un-
known. They are covered with the mine veil which
concealed the negociations. One of these disposits
times has. however, been already made public at
Mike. It is the incorporation of that part of ceded '
territory which herders on the Mediterranean, un-
der the name orthe Illyrian Provinces. An whin-
eistretor tuts already been appointed for these Prue
vinces, and the corps of the Duke of Beguile, which

Slay judge from the German Papers, a retrograde
wtommeut has commenced, and the corps of the
Duke of Abranter, which had advanced to Bay-
reuth, and was to observe Bohemia, has already
begun its march to the Rhine. The regiments of
the Guenter, the sailers attached to the Guards,
and who have performed such great services, have
left Vienna and its environs, and ascended the
41annbe. The army of the Prince Viceroy has

that so great a force is marching &pilot these

people will no longer think it necessary to con-
Slime to give such deplorable testimonies of their
affection to a House which has renounced all its
claims with respect to them. The first intelligence
eft this subject will doubtless be decisive and satis-
factory.
When Vienna was first conquered, no resistance
was offered by the fortifications. The Austria,'
Government was aware of the inutility and the dan-
ger of thus exposing. a capital to the horrors of war.

(but Heaven forbid the idea should be entertained)
recal once more the French soldiers under those
walls, they wilt then, still rawe than on the precede
in: amnions, be sensible nriede want of a Soheeski.
The French will at least fieLp,cly an open capital,
and a population prepared to receive them as ene-

and separated it from the suburbs. here been under-
mined and blown up. They will be replaced by
promenades. Vienna cannot but gain by the change;
and an improvement which its Sovereigus. perhaps,
never would have thought of during peace, will be
the result of war. This is not the first time that
Viesas has received favours front the French, and
Imaisforth she will receive them always as friends,
Dever as enemies.
It is to be remarked, that the Peace has not
seised the funds, nor iucreased the value of the
paper-money at Vienna. The retreat of a great
army. which consumed a vast quantity of produc-
tions, and circulated much specie. must at first
necessarily throw this capital into a state of stage
nation, very unfavourable to the paper money,
while the completion of the contributions, and
the necessities of the Government. about to be
re-established, will farther tend to render coin
more scarce, and paper more plenty. The rle-
precivtiwo is thew en inevitable entisequence tf
the peace, sad saipt necessarily prey, a source of

resumed. This ie to Austria one of the unfavoure
able results of the treaty, which she has to add to
those which were stipulated. Under these circuit.
stances it may be conjectured what pain must have
berm endured by the Empress, whose health lies

horn. has been injurioeste here and her death was
even announced. It appears, however, that the
life of this Primes, is despaired et and her denture
will render the Emperor, for the third time, • els
dower. The Archduke Charles is still is retiree
scent. The report that his health was the cause
of his resignation is renewed. It is certain, how-
ever, that the cause is to be found in the misunder-
standing, the hostility, and the reciprocal pram,.
stone which here deprived the Austrian Monarchy
of all union, and consequently of all energy.
We kerne not yet what effect the treaty of Vien-
na has produced in London. The signature of the
peace having been prematurely pnhlishesl in Hol-
land, the English have only obtained a knowledge
of the fact. They are acquainted, however, with
the nature of the cessions os the Adristic, or they

thought, that the Emperor is to be henceforth the
master of that sea, and that its I.avigation and ports
are to become his propt!rty and domain.
As to the Treaty with Sweden, the English are
better acquainted with it, and particularly in what
relates to Russia, the Emperor Of which they csll
their ancient magnanimous ally; but they know
'snot, and they dread the consequences which inay
result from, this Treaty, when the Emperor of tite
French shall have declared his intentions. The
',obsession of the island of Aland, which is trans-
ferred to Russia, appears to them to leave little
military security to Sweden, and little commercial
security to England.
The English speak no longer of Spain, and. dare
not venture to talk of Flushing, where only three
hundred men, they say, now die weekly. It ap-
pears, that it is endeavoured to render the people of
London insensible to this melancholy situation of
things, and that the scenes of Covent-Garden

very convenient for diverting the mind of Julus
We are ignorant of the result of these burlesque

A Conditional Order of attachment was granted
in this cause latt week, against Justin M'Carthy,
Esq. High sheriff of the county Cork, and Arthur
Henry D'Esterre. attorney for the Plaintiff: and
now Serjeant M,Mahon moved the Court to set
aside this Order. Several witnesses were examined,
and, from their evidence, it appeared to the Court,
that, some time since, the Plaintiff had employed a
Mr. Hewson to sue out execution on a bond
against the Defendants; and that. on a trial in
Cork, the hood was found to b a forgery ; alter-
muds, by terror, or some other means, the Plain-
tiff forced the Defendants to pay them tool. and
to enter into a new bond for the remainder of the
amount of the forged one; and applied to Mr.
Hevfoon to ;•roceed on this bond, but he refused,

the satisfaction of the Court, their Lordships order-
ed, that Mr. D'EAerre shall (within one week)
pay to the Defend/lots all the money that they
have been out of pocket. together with all costs;
and in case Mr. D'Esterre do not pay it, that the
Sheriff shall; and that he may have the process of
the Court to force Mr. D'Esterre to reimburse him
and also, that Mr. D'Esterre ehall (within one week)
shew cause why he shall not he struck off the roll
