FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FROM THE FRENCH .%ND DUTCH PAPERS.

►A\li, OCT. S.
The Emperor has established his Head-quarters
at Stutgard. The army has passed the Neckar
without having experienced either desertion or
sickness. A great many conscripts have joined the
army; but die union of the Wirtemberg, Baden,
and Bavarian armies, with the French, is nut a
matter of less importance ; and the German peo-
ple seem to manifest towards them sentiments
equally favourable.
In several departments which have not had the
advantage of being visited by His Majesty the Em-
peror, viz. in those of the Maine and Loire, and
Indre and Loire, list books are opened in the office
of the Sub-prefects, to receive the names of those
young men, who, not belonging to the Conscription,
are desirous of arming and equipping themselves, at
their own ezpence, in order to prove their zeal and
courage, and their devotion to their Emperor. "It
would be unjust." said the Prefect of Maine and
Loire, " that the departments which have not had
the good fortune to have their Sovereign among
them, should be e;:cluded from the privilege ef contri-
buting to, and being responsible to the French na-
tion fur his safety, to partake of the glorious perils
of our Emperor, and to learn the military art snider
the greatest of warriors. lam fully persuaded that
His Majesty will condescend to accept the services
that may be offered to him by these rtipeeable
young men, who belong to the department of
Maim and Loire."

Here follows • fulsome letter from the Minister
•f the Interior to the Preled of the Rhone, much

THE SH.:KSPEARE GALLERY.

The Ticket, 8,004, drawn on Monday in the
oYDrLI. LOTTERY, WAS a prize of the SIIARS-
sit r G♦ tr. Ely ; containing the whole of the %lige
oictures now exhibiting ; together with all the es-
ate, right, and interest, of Messrs. BOYDELL, in
hese premises, which were ereEted by them, and in
which they hold an unexpired terra of sixty-four
tears. at a ground-rent of 1251 per annum, valued,
a the whole, at 30,0001. Report has :assigned va-
rious tertunate possessors of this rich prize. Some
mid that it fell to the lot of His MArEsty. If
soy other power, except Fortune, had the dis-
posal of the lottery, this Royal and Munificent
Patr-n of the Arts would, no doubt, have been
the favoured obleit of its choice. Others as-
sert that Mr. CHAN nusr., silversmith, of Leicester-

ells.-
is the fortunate holder. We can, however,
ate positively, that it has fallen to the lot of Mr.
.ASSIE, the ingenious artist, and worthy nephew of
se late Mr. asstr, of Leicester-square ; a gentle-
sanklcelehrated for his love of the arts. It is
mentioned. as a curi•lus circumstance, that the

fnrttin.ite ticket was purchased, with another, by
Mr. CALDWELL, the engraver, who had determined
to keep it. Lhe other he proposed to sell to Mr.
Tassi ; but, in mistake, he gave him the one he
had fancied for himself. l-fad it remained in his
own hands, he could not have felt more pleasure
than he has expressed at the good fortune of his
friend, than whom there does not exist a more libe-
ral and worthy man.

Lawn that Lord Holland had considiuo4ol4.l
is his hands, and so had every Payir** who. pie.
ceded him ; it was the custom of the One. which
had time out of mind prevailed, and was never con-
ceded ; and the paymaster paid a tertain interest to
the public for the time he held such balances in
his head,. However, to take the Hon. Gentleman
in the way of his own arguments—lf the case was
bad intord Holland, who did this before the Al
is question, how much more sn must it be in Vis-
count hlelv;He, who had offended in the very
teeth of the AR; of that AR which he had himself
brought in and passed through the Legislature,
and had afterwards pretended to strengthen and
fortify by an order of council ? There had, he
believed, been taken legal opinions on the subjed ;
and those of the highest authority, at that period,
had differed, and were given both ways. The
House took the matter into consideration, in Lord
North's Administration, when he was sure be had
no reason to expel the least favour ; but no positive
determination was come to on the subjed. The
House thought, however, that it would be better
not to suffor so much of the public money to re-
main in the bands of individuals, and therefore re-
solved, that, in order to stop these proceedings
in future, an increased salary should be given
to the Paymasters, and the 'Arne was accordingly
given to Colonel awe, Viscount Melville, and
all future Paymasters. The Hon. Gentleman

Sr -
it too long; he had eprtainly lost consider:
'alills allts of "tow I but to say that it was the
public money was certainly going far beyond what'
alty person ovoid be filly warranted in. The Hon.
Ourdsasn bad Mt for his relation ; and, because he
had taken a part against his late condud, wished
to retort on him what had been said respeding
his father. He by no means found himself dis-
pleased with the Hoe. Gentleman for having done
as, for the attempt had entirely failed in producing
any effed on him.
Mr. WHITBREAD said, it was not his inten-
tion to trouble the House with any further investi-
gation into this subjet at present. He begged, how-
ever, to say that he never had charged Viscount Mel-
ville with having participated; that remained to be
proved; he had only said, he had conniwd at indi-
viduals using the public money, contrary to an Ad
of Parliament. After what had been said by the
Bight Hon. Gentleman, he would not press his mo-
tion. He begged, however, before he sat down, to
ask one question,—.. Does Viscount Melville at
preaaat hold any place or office at the will of the
Crave ?"
Mr. PITT answered across the Table, ,I He did

not.'
Mr. FOX said, he had been told the Lord Privy
Seal of Scotland was such ; he did not know any
thing of it but by report. It was, howevtr, a
que.tion, whether many of the grants made to Vis-
count Melville were legal or not.

sach may be,e reason with him (Lord Holland) for
w.sltingl the 13.11 should go a second tinte to a Com-
mittee, it was n inducement to tho.e Noble Lords
whii,had attended upon that stage of the Bill.
Lord HOLLAND shortly explained ; said he
had twice attended in the Committee ; but did not
conceive it his bounden duty to assist in discussing
the detail; of a measure whose principle he strongly
disaprroved.
Lord WALSINGHANI, principally in reference
to what was said of certain proceedings in the Com-
mittee, made some observations in support of the
Bill.
The question was then put; when the House di•
vided ; when there appeared for the third reading
of the Bill 17—against it S.—Majority in favour of
the Bill 12.

TRUST MONIES.
The order for going. into a Committee on the
Bill for the better securing of Trust Monies being
read ;
The LORDCHANCELLOR, after a few words
were interchanged across the table betweet? Earl
&riot:tore and, the Duke of MoNtadse, quitted
the Woolsack, and adduced a variety of olsjeitions
against the Bill, framed as it then was. No man
could be a greater friend to the principle of the
Bill than himself; hut he seemed to consider the
measures in its present shape, inefficient as to its
professed objeet, and by no means comprehensive
enough. Neither did he think a Bill so framed
could, with all the amendments and amelioration
of phraseology a Committee could give It, be ren-
dered sufficiently unexceptionable for the acknow-
ledged purpose. The best advice he could give the
Noble Larltherefore was, to withdraw the Bill for the
present ; and he shoulde—who was perfealy aware of
the importance of the subjett, had abundant oppor.
utilities of being legally infarmed upon it, in those
short intervals of leisure, which the approaching re-
cess would allow him,—tutb his best and anxious
attention to the topic, and endeavour to suggest
some legislative remedy therein.
Earl STANHOPE argued shortly, but decided-
ly in favour of the Bill's going into a Committee,
for the purpose of seeing what remedy could be
afforded by it. for a known and acknowledged
grievance ; after that, he thought the ohje&ions
advanced by the 'Learned Lord may be considered.
Lord HOLLAND said a few words in support
of what fell from the Noble Earl, who pressed the
order for committing the Bill.
The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that it
driven to a vote, he must give his negative to such
a Bill's going to a Committee.
Earl STANHOPE persisting, their Lordships
divided—

Fir going into a Committee, 2 —Against it, EL—.
Majority against the 841, 6.
After SOMO routine business was disposed of, the

WHIG CLUB.

--
The fourth Annual Meeting of the Whig Club
was held on Tuesday, at the Crown and Anchor, in
the Strand; Mr. Fox in the Chair, supported by
the Duke of Norfolk, Lord Robert Spencer, Sir
William Milner, &c. This meeting was more nu-
merous than the last. The Dupe of Norfolk gave
the health of the Representative of the Electors of
Westminster; on which Mr. Fox rose and said,
that before he drank the healths of the company, lie
should notice the events which had occurred since he
last had the honour of meeting them, events which
he considered peculiarly important; and he congra-
tulated the company on the result, which was great
and honourable. He was very happy to observe,
that the different meetings which had been held in
the cities of London and Westminster, in the county
of Middlesex, and other places, had been =dueled
with so much propriety. He was glad that the Gen-
tlemen he had the honour to address concurred with
him on this question, and that they had confined
themselves on such meetings to the objeas more
immediately commanding their attention. He
could not withhold his tribute of thanks to Earl
St. Vincent, and the Commissioners of Naval In-
quiry ; and he rejoiced to find that the persons who
had met to take that subjea into consideration, had
in their petitions confined themselves to that subjeft
alone, to which they, perhaps, owed their success.
On Monday nest, said Mr. b or, "I shall have the
honour to bring forward a motion in favour of the
Catholics of Ireland, which, if attended with success,
, would not fail to increase the resources of this Em-
pire in a degree almost incalculable. It is a motion,
I say, which, if succeLsfal, would give me the great-
est satisfaition. Icm honoured with being seleCted
to bring it forward, and I entreat every Gentleman
whom I address, to promote by all means in his
power so desirable an end."
London, England, 1805-05-09

Mr. PITT then proposed the Committee should
be by ballot.
Mr. KINNAIRD objected to it, and said the
Right Hon. Gentleman seemed determined to have
all the Committees by ballot.
Mr. Pt IT denied that it was his wish to have
every inquiry determined by ballot, though he
thought this one in particular ought to be so.
Earl TEMPLE was proceeding to speak ; when
The SPEAKER informed the—House some name
must be mentioned for the Committee, or there was
no question.
Mr. KINNAIRD said, h' would give a name,
and immediately mentioned—Mr. Canning—(a
laud and general laugh.)
Earl TEMPLE then said, his Right Holourable
Friend's principle and pratlice were at va: i ince ;
when a Committee of Inquiry is fixed on to examine
into India Accounts, he named them all himself ;
but now, when the Committee was to inquire into
papers and other matters, it must be by ballot.
The question on Mr. Canning's name staiding as
one of the Committee, was then put and negatived.
When Mr. Pitt cried out—No—there wax a still
loutkr lava than &lute.
The Committee of Supply was postponed to Fri-
day.—Adjoumed.

Our transports for cavalry and infantry are daily
increasing : we have now upwards of SO sail, and
they make a respeelable appearance in the river. It
is supposed here that the troops which are to embark
in them are destined for Portugal.
During the heavy gales this week, a boat belong-
ing to one of the transports was unfortunately up-
set near the mouth of Itchen River; the whole of the
crew were saved, except one man, who had no
idea of swimming, and cowequently was drowned.
A lad about 14, who, in sculling from the quay to a
vessel in the roads, fell over the starboard side of
his boat, wit also drowned before any assistance

COMMON PLEAS.
stswyom v. Yotnao3.
The Plaintiff in this eel= being distrained by
virtue of a warrant, issued by the Commissioners of
Assessed Taxes, brought an adion of replevin,
which was tried St the last Assizes for Norfolk, and
got a verdict, with one shilling damages, subjed to
the opinion of the Court of Common Pleas, whether
the Ad, which appointed Commissioners for the pur-
pose of rating, chirging, and assessing lands in
that county, did i er thent to assess the lands
for the four years last past ; or, whether, by ne-
gleding to make such assessment, they were not
now wholly shut out from levying by distress?
Serjeant Basr, on the part of the Plaintiff, argued,
that the Commissioners could not have any right to
make any other assessment than from year to year.
lie said they could have no right, nor was it the
intention of the legislature, that they should be allow-
ed to make a kind of sweeping assessment, which
should take in the four years last past, merely on ac-
count of their own negled. He then said, that a
remainder man, or reversioner,coming into possession
pt the death of the tenant for life, would be liable
to be rated for years previous to the time his right
accrued, without havinT any remedy in the world
against the renresentatives of 'he tenant for life.
He therefore hoped the verdict would Ix confirmed.
Serjeant Laws, on the part of the Defendant,
contended, that the land wet,: rated by the ad at
th. sum of four peace an acre, and that the Com-
es ,loners were only appointed to regulate the as.
se.sment, with a power of lesiciting thl tax. He
therefore hoped that the Court would consider the
intention of the legislature, and allow the distress to
be good.
Sir JAKU MANSFISLD said they would consider
of it.

THURSO AY, SZPTINIIIII 14.
We stated on Mondayospon the authority of X COO-
temporrry print, that the French Funds bad suddenly
fallen 3 per cent. When it is considered, that the
preparations for war are often the mean of preset v_
ing peace, a depression of the funds to this eztept,
would he more decisive of immediate hostilities upou
the C•sntinenr, than the marching of troops in ever r
dire&on. Upon a perusal, however, of the Frets.
Pap.•rs, official and not official, to the Ist L..:...•,
of which we receivei last night several .eis, J ,
find, that this statement of the French Finds la
Inisrepresenution. The following is their state,
during the period alluded to by those who stated
them as having fallen 3 per cent. within that time :
Pun, 7Jth ♦agost, a per Celli. Coln. 58 f. 10e.
Zed, - - - 37 f. 60 c.
ditto o 57 f. 10 c.
With tin dividend, they stand for the same days
Y 7,11 August
f. 10 -

..... - 59 f. 73 c.
Whether, then. the estimate be made upon the
3 per Cent. Consols, with the dividend, or witht.ut
the divider., the tall has been only one per cent ,
and not :free per cent. as has been erroneously
stated. In the speculations upon the probability 'of
an immediate C.mtinental war, this difference is very
material. A fall of one per cent. in three days, is that
degree of depression, which the a,ped of affairs, as
generally teen, would warrant. It carries with it
an apprehension of war ; but a fall of 3 per cent. in so
shots a period, would give a decided charafler.
Thi most material article in the Paris Papers, is
the decree for railing the 30,000 conscripts, which
noticed on Monday. It was passed at foul•wne,
on the 26th of August ; and, though it extend into
a supplement of five folio pages of the Mfinev.,
is given in that Paper of the 30th. The haste
with which it was published, thews the urgency
of the occasion on which it was adopted. Its pro-
visions, also, afford some idea of the charaCer of the
French conscript force :—One of the clauses pro-
vides, that aot more than 100 conscripts shall march
in a party ; so great is the fear of the Goveroments
that these unfortunate men might, on their route,
overpower the guard escorting them, and run sway.
There is nothing in these Papers, either for or apisist

tenaet-Colonel Monson from reaching the Mums
rivulitt until the morning the 13th of July.
The rivulet was not foldable on the 13th, and
Lielite rant Colonel Monson halted on the 14th, to
enable the troops to procure a supply of grain from
a sllases. called Puttun, distant about two cuss.
Oil the 1.5.11 of Jule, Lieutenant-Colonel Mon-
son co dinned his march, but the rains were so vio-
-1 •+tit, that it was impossible to move the guns ;
I.i. trenant-Colonel Monson therefore halted It
during the whole of the night of the 15th,
! no the morning of the 1&h July, the pm: had
-ink so deep into the mud, that it was inspraCticable,
h every degree of exertion, to extricate them.
a-utenant-eilonel Wilson states, that he had no
provisions in camp, and teat all the neig.,bonring
villages were exhausted. The small supply obtain-
ed from the village of ['lmam was also expended.
Coder these circumstances, Lieutenant-Colonel
Monson was induced to spike his guns, and to order
the ammunition to hedestroyed ; at the same time,
he wrote to the Rajah of Bondee, desiring him to
seed some people to extricate the guns, and to de-
posit them in a place of security.
As soon as these measures were completed. Lieu-
trnant.Colonel Monson prosecuted his march, and
reached the Chumbuke Rivulet on the 17th of July,
haying passed a country so completely overflowed,
that it was with the ntmost difficulty the troops
could march. The rivulet was not fordable on the
17th ; but oa the 18th of July, Lieutenant-Colonel
Monson was enabled to cross over the European ar-
tillerymen on elephants! and to send them on to
Ram, torah.

On the 19th July, •he Rivulet continued to rise.
The troops were in the greaten distress for food,
when Lieutenant-Colonel Monsoon heard that there
was some grain in a village at a fee miles distance.
A wrong party with arm•, and an equal number
without arms, were aczordingly de-ached from each
Corps of Lieutenant-Colonel Monson's Detach-
ment, together with all tht camp ►ollowers. This
party returned the nest morning (the 20th July)
with a sufficient quantity of grain for the use of the
Detachment for two days. On their return to camp,
the party was attacked by a body of the enemy's
hone, who were, however, repulsed. A few Se-
poys were wounded in this affair.

In the evening of the 21st July, Lieutenant-Co-
lonel Monson detached Captain O'Donnell with the
flank companies belonging to the corps of his de
tachment, to beat up a body of cavalry, encamped
at some distance. Captain O'Donnell was com-
pletely successful. The enemy's camp was destroyed,
And Captain O'Donnell captured some camels and
two hundred horse. Ihe enemy's loss was consi-
derable in this affair.

POLICE.

The Commissioners of the Stamp Office having
discovered, for a considerable time past, a great fall-
ing off in the Revenue, arising from the Taxation of
the 4ce of Npaties, direaed Mr. Estcourt, their Soli-
citor, to endeavour to discover the cause, and he
employed a number of men for that purpose ; and it
has been discovered that forged Aces of Spades, in
Packs of Cards, have been circulated to an incredible
number, particularly in the country. A number of
their circulators have been detested and airy' ehend-
ed, and have undergone several private examina-
tions at the Public Office, Bow-street, before Mr.
RosiNsoa. The particulars that transpired are,
that they sold them under various pretences, and
different prices, from I Is. 13 245. the dozen pa:ks,
and the venders of them by retail had found the
sale of them to answer their purpose so well, that
one in the country had given the forgers an order
for an hundred dozen groce of packs. Yesterday
several of them were fully committed for trial. It
is a capital offence.
