The Minister of Baden -t1) the Swiss Confedera-
tion, Nl. her, has declared to the cantons, through
his Excellency the Laudanum', that, though for..
merly the property of the Swiss State, and indi-
viduals situated within the territu-y of. Baden,
were,. dke those of the government end subjects of
Baden, situate in Switzerland, free from all contri-
butions, circumstances nu longer permitted the
maintenance of this iirinciple, and all the property
of the Swiss cantons, corporations, and individuals,
situated in the Grand Duchy of Baden, would, in
future, he taxed the sane as those of the subjects
of the Grand Duchy.
The same Minister hes complained to the Lan-

daminan, of the facility with which several of the
Cantons have received the conscripts, who have
emigrated, to avoid the fulfilment of their duties,
and oho take refuge, in preference, in the Helvetic
territory, because the other frontier states, such as
Alsace and Wurtemlierg, are closed against them.
His Excellency demands, that 'no subject of Baden
shall be Guttered to enter Switzerland, unless pro-
vided with regular passports ; and that such as
have been before received, shall be delivered up to
the neighbouring Authorities of Baden.
We learn, that the Canton of Bile has already

taken measures to satisfy the just demand of the

Government of Baden; and that these measures
have her:: extended to fort.* subjects of other
Powers.—(Ahmiteer, Noo. 1.)

ANTIQUITIES.

On Friday sennight, as some labourers were digging an
the premises of Chris/loniser Taylor, Esq. of Leghorn Abbey,
near Louth, they discovered five human skeletons, which has
occasioned no small degree of conjecture in that neighbour-
hood. The spot where they were limed in supposed by some
to have been the bari:d.place of the Nantiery founded them
by Robert dt Lekeborn. According to Pagdale, the above
Robert was buried in the Chapter-horse belonging to the
Abbey.—Thin Nuanery must have been of very considerable
antiquity ; as we find, from the above authority, that liiug
John, in the first year of his reign, confirmed the estates be-
longing to it. At this remote peri.d, it is not easy to age
as opinion on the subject. One of the skeletons nested vs
its side, in an horisoutal, and use in a perpendicular pus,
lion, perfectly upright : the remaining three were somewhat
scattered—the skulls being all within the circumference of
three fret, only two feet below the striae? oldie earth.

the frauds awl arctic:es practised by the
French Goverieinent to abuse the public mind, it
hus ranteel to be inserted in its Gazette, the Moni-
teur of the 10th last, an article purporting to be
a copy of the Speech at the clone of the
Ilut Session of Parfigment, bat which is in fact a
cross e 't1(10111, forged unit mininfactured
for the purpose of imposing upon the French na-
tion. The original genuine Speech runs thus :
". My Lords and f:ctittcuieri,
" Tin atrocious and unparalleled act of violence and trea-
chery, by which the Rule, of France attempted to surprise
and to enslave the Spaniel, Nation, while it has excited in
Spaiii a determined and anconnnerable resistance against the
usurpation mid tyranny of the French Goverlinient, has, at
the same time, awakened in other nations of Europe a deter-
'ablation to mat, by • new effort, the continued and in-
creasing microarliments en their safety and independence.
" Although the uncertaiaty of all human events, and the
vicissitudes attendant upon war, forbid too confident an ex-
pectation of • satisfactory mane to the present •isttpCfe against

as era less conducive to the true intermits, thau it is herounag

The French fulmicatinn runs thus:—
" My Lords and Gentlainen--The uncertaii.ty of all

there was a guardedness iii his anger, which gives

JOHN OGLE.

Lord Poutsvotce,ptirsuZtto the notice he for-
merly gave, rose for the purpose of making a mo-
tion relative to the above gentleman. In doing so,
be observed, that upon such au occasion, if lie
made no statement at all. it would be said he had
laid no Parliamentary grounds to induce the
House to agree to wheelie should propose; and if,
upon the other hand, he did so, it might be said
that he threw out insinuations iiipirious to an in-
dividual. He could assure the House he should
merely state what he knew, as a ground to induce
the. House to order the production of documents to
prove what he said to be true. Ile understood that
Colonel Ogle had a letter of service for raisin?:
men for the army in 1800 or 1801, and li;s accounts
were passed, but the claim he made was not satis-
fied. A person of the name of Reid, who had ad-
vanced a stun of money for the purpose of this
levy, and had not been repaid by Government, as
it appeared from the Returns made to the War
Office that Colonel Ogle had been guilty of fraudu- I
lent trieriartions as to his accounts; for insance,
he had stated false dates of the enlistments of the
soldiers, arid had given in receipts for passing his
accounts which were actually forged. The Attor-
ney-General had been ordered to prosecute hind,
and Colonel Ogle !deeded not guilty ; but that
plea was afterwards withdrawn, and he was con-
victed un leo'. No further ate,* had been adopt-
eil against I , nor had he ever been brought up
to receive judgmeut—bot there the matter rested.
Under these circumstances, be begged leave to
move for a Copy of the Information filed by the
Attoriter-General, in the Court of King's Bench,
against John Ogle, Esq. 1,1 1800, or 1801, and all
legal proceedings austituted thereon.
Mr. YoRK v. stated, that the matter alluded to fell
under his cognisance when he wits Secretary at
%Var. He was not at presentin fall poieession of
the facts, but should afterwards make farther in-
to satisfy the House to the. propriety of
the motives which induced Government not to pro-
ceed to
.juilgutesit against that helividital. He be-
lieved it would appear from the siecouills, that
%Ir. Ogle had paid certain penulties, which induced
lenient ine.ssures to be adopted. Ile had no ob-
jection to agree to tine emotion of the Noble Lord.
Mr. Pence AL did not ohjeet to the motion, Id-
though he thought it enueressary, as it would be
found that Mr. 04Ie had entered mete some en-
gagements to indemnify the public for the losses
that had been sustained. It was not unusual in
such cases to call for the luiyment of fines, and

The entrances to which were illuminated with a
number of elegant globes, at sunalde distances,
from an horizontal line whereof, at the outer gate,
three arches were sprung, with globes suspended ;

To the EDITOR of The BRITISH PRESS.

Ma. Eorroa—No man, why knows the METRO-
POLIS of ENGLAND, would believe it possible, that
nightly, for nearly six weeks, the public Theatre
could have been made a scene for the most disgrace-
ful disturbances, and for continued breaches of the
public peace ; that the Plays of SHAE4PEARE,
with the finest acting of YOUNG, Coots, KESIBLa,
*ad Mrs. SIDDONS, could have been sacrificed to
howling, hissing, barking, and yells, resembling
these of wild brawls. !fa person, at a distance, and
unacquainted with town, had read an account of
these proceedings, he would have supposed that
'ionic wild Indians had made their escape into
I,midoii, and were dancing, howling, sad fighting
in the Theatre. into which they had broken by
mistake. Caul it he possible that the moat free and
•enhiclitened capital in Europe, can long bear such
inroad. 011 the enjoyment of dramatieinnusementa ?
But, if il:cre lie one thing worse than even this—it
is seeing a PUBLIC PHIST, winch should contribute
to taste earl information, advising, abetting, and
encouraging all this. Let such Patter, us the
fairest way or judging, make the case its own.
Suppose it found it necessary, to support its debts
or its expenses, to demand two shillings for each
Newspaper. Many persons might think the price
extravagant, and refuse to pay it. ILit Chat world
the Proprietors think, if a mob, daily, wits to as-
semble round their doors, break the windows. rush
into the house, and insist, by violence and outrage,
on the prices being taken, which they t hose to fix
upon. Could such Nil act NS tills be tolerated or
justified for a moment ? And yet is not this the very
conduct, which such Pat s r is encouraging towards
the PROPRIETOR. of CoVILN f-GARDIN THEATRE ?
No POLITICAL PKINCIPLEI 4,111 warrant such
outrages on society. Our thing, however, remains,
and the duty is a solemn and important one. The
persons who have been apprehended in ceinsnitting
these flagrant and cm-hiatus' violations of the
polilie peace, will shortly tie brought to trial ; and
it will be an imperious dig), both on Jeonas and
Jeans, after their winds are conscientiously satis-
fied. that the LAW, fully, plainly, and distinctly
laid down, shall leave nu future audiences to be
rnistiltrii on this subject : and while the right
which the spectator may hove of expressing his dis-
like to a bad actor, or a had play, sir guaranteed to
him, it may be clearly understood, whether persons
have a right to assemble, purposely, to interrupt the
public amusement, to annoy and endanger the
peace of tither,. and render a theatre • scene of
outrage, uproar, and contest. VINDEX.
