The ap: roach of the Nabob and myself trout Lucknow and
Jaitupore respectively, had all the p•ocautioni of dt.u4a,o
friendship or hostility. He repeated the exaction of oats
from htttnilitary officers, extended his profusioli to thins, awl
,d at one time determined to &dean,* with a large farce acrd
numerous train of medlar!, and was mokiim his preparations to
',hat effect. Thu, measure, it is to be presumed, was relin-
qinatied at the advice of the Region, when the 'Nabob returned
• to consult her from Ilyderilliii, anti lie, in unisequeoce, ad-
vied me that h. should he accompanied by a very small escort.
The language of his Deana, as tenets/I by his adherents, is
that of defiance of the power of the Company ; to Ise, it has
iligt been civil audisbmissive ; such it was to thetkestderit,
at the moment when his measures were acridly dheetod to

fear of imuiring the resentment of the Nabob.

tertAincd, but under the most unfavourable im petitions of the
dispnaitiu.i of the Nabob, and the influence over it of tbo
abanduned crew what surrounded lints; information was ,
quantly communicat-d to me, that troops to a large o umber
had been secretly introduced iota the town, and that orders
had his.. matt to diflCltllt bat'alioni to march in. The fact is
!gamin ; the orrlers.l am informed, were revoked through the
:patios of the !Seguin; ono battalion actually opproacli d
Irate Ehyrabad.aud a remind from Juadispore; the Nabob ad-
milted the facts, but denied, in both instances, that they came •
by hi orde.s, and remanded the former; the latter brhitged
to Amass, who also denied that it had marched by h s orders.
This information determined use to quit uiy reside ice in the
town of Lucknow, and to occupy a garden-hous: of the NA.
bob, at the distance of about five miles from hiv reyithince; vn
rapairine to it, I met the battalion of Mynas, whose contagion
oil the d.scretery was apparent. In his vexation, which het
mall lint conceal, he tint to the Malaita, Why did not the
trope take another road?'
The removal of my nnidcnce' which I communieated to
the Nabob and the Seguin, had the apparent effect of plunging
then, and the Nabob, on the neat day, quitted Lucknow, and
enausped at a small distance from the place which I occupy.
The geneiel opinion of the Nabob of Imelmow is, that he
I, fearless, debauched, of a sasiguitiory uncootroulahle disposi-
tion; his profusion is unhouieled and his conduct folly proves
his indination to maiiitein his illdepe.s4..int it all ti•giain ;
on this principle he is considered u this determiued essay of
the English.
Hi ChM-00M was not displayed, until after his seem egion to

with all well ititurinal and impartial permits, a, the Jeter.iiiiied

Rut it is impossible to exonerate the Nabob from the respon-
sibility of hit tonduff ; his age, it is true, is not isme titan
seeeldoen, but his Asposiiien ms uncontroulable, except be the
improwien of political liar Thit he It is proceeded to the ex-
tremities to which he has been led be the inueration of evil
counsellors, may be admitted ; but he is dispeeed to admit
counsellors of any other quality, or any impression* contrary
to his rage for ',mimd stud independency. The renmnstrances
of the Milliner sad Relideot no the impropriety of his conduct,
arid thine at'esnsl to check the.preereis of hs proemisities, ex-
cited his enmity and oppoeition. I refer io the Res dent's ac-
count efltis deportaminatin his conference with him of the 24th
November.
On my arrival at Loam.", the confident, between the
Nabob and Regiun appeared indisselehle, amd it was the 01/I.
.vino of the %flintier, that they coo d not he disunited. The
proicipal adviser of the Regent was A1m..., either directly, or
through Jewahur Ali Khau ; and Hossein Reaa Klessin and
foliage Ray, ranged tieder their banners; with the Nabob, hu '
father-in-law, Siierf Ali Kharin, was supposed to have the teen
influence, brit his favourite cnefilisits wore low, desperate

A new Opposition, upon a very narrow scale, is

mence its operations. Its principal basis is, that
the re.ent Ministry were forced upon the Execu-

Several letters have been received from Holland,
with intelligence to the 9tlr4nst. ; none of them that
we have seen fdrnisb any satisfaßory information as
to the conditions under which Prussia has auemed
the government of Ida:toyer. It is mentioned, that
rene changes have bees efFeeted in the regency, by
Count Scuutesseitc, but they do not appear to
amount to the estahlishment of a positive and abso-
jtre gmyernmenr, instead of a provisinnal one.
The recent changes is our Administration were
bnnwn in Holland, and had revived there the hopes
of peace; so general, in ka, was the cry for peace,
that the Grand Pensionary had found it necessary
to declare, that the Batavian Government was de-
sirous to terminate the war, on fair and honourable
term.. and that the French Emperor was impressed

LORD VISCOUNT SOUTHWELL 9. SERKFLIY.
Mr. RuSIII.I,V, Mr. Ataxastirs,and Mr. BELL,
for the Noble Plaintiff, in this suit; stated, that its
Aire was the 'important one over which the Court
of Chancery especially presided, of &sluicing a
faithful administration in the cases of minors, whose
estates were entrusted to guardians. In the latter
capacity, the Devisor of the Defendant in this suit
had stood, with respea to the interests of two nieces,
Catharine and Jane Berkeley, whose orphan in-
fancy had been confided to the safeguard of as un-
cle's love. One of these young ladies had become
the wife of Lot d Southwell. On the eve of this
union, both the wards having attained the age of
twenty-one years, it Was proposed by Mr. Berkeley,
to adjust the accounts of his stewardship during
their minority ; yid after some time spec t in pre-
paring them, mutual releases were executed by the
parties interested. ft had since, however, become
apparent, that Mr. Berkeley had not duly accounted
for some considerable sums which, it was contended,

were the property of the young ladies, his wards:
The releases had been signed, on the part of the
Plaintiff, without a full and proper investigation of
the state of his wife's affairs ; and, to repair the
error into which he had thus fallen, WAS the *Ned
of this application.
A great deal of evidence was here adduced, by
deeds and testeetetttarnrapers, in eteminiag whicb,
the Court was a long time occupied
Mr. Fos ace Ns:6,E, then. in a s^eech of more than
an hour, very feelingly lamented that this applica-
tion had come before the Coma, grave and conse-
quential, as, let the result be what it might, it must
;'rove to all rte parties whom it atFeled ;
perhaps, to the Plaintiffs it would prove whit af-
&Sive, should they su,:ceesi in their applicatioo, as
its tendency was to vo and the me/n(ly of a deceased
and near.relation, and to afFea the.charaCttr of him
ender whose precepts their infant minds had ex-
panded, and by whose affeCtion they had hen fos-
tered. .1 he Learned Coun.el commented on souse
parts of the evidence which bad been adduced. and
expressed his convidion, that the charge brought
against the renera'sle deceased, would prove to have
no r cal foinidation.
The Court deferred the further hearing of the
case until a future day.

REiCUING A DEsEr.TER.
THE EltiG r. sreractot ~tad ot,si IMO.
This was an indictrntnt for a misdemeanour and
assault, charged to be c,,m,sittcd by the Defendants,
who were beadles of the parish of St. Ann's. Soho:
It appeared from the evidence of Robert Kr.ight.
Esq. a Lieutenant cf t!,e 144.11 Light Dragoons, com-
monly called " the Prince of Wales's," that, on
the 27th of December, 1804, be was pa'.sing
.14196"41h-Fkill4estase.t., -Sal" set d saw Arthur Ham.
mond, the rtosecntor, who •s a Serjeant in the
same ;c1••.:1•!irt, pursuing a tsar., and calling out,
" stop tk;el ! stop thief ! he's a robber:l a midst- I"
&c. the Lieutenant immediately joined in the pm.
suit, and the man was overtaken and sered by
Hammond, who claimed him as a deserter from
the Bth Regiment of Foot, by the name of James
Duncan. While Hammond was grabbling with.
the Deserter, the Defendants came up, an alterca-
tipn ensued, a mob collected, and she Defendants
struck him en the arm with which lie grasped the
Deserter' when he was obliged to let him go, and
he made his escape into a china.shop at a little dis-
tance ; the Defendants and snob persisted in as-
saulting and detaining Hammond, notwithstanding
they were told both by him and Lieutenant Kiii,;l.t.
and also by Serjeant Burke of the same regiment,
who joined them at die moment, and was dressed
in regimentals, that the runaway was a Deserter,
and they belonged to the 14th Dragoons. Lieute-
nant Kaight, however, observing where the Deserter
had taken refuge, pursued, and discovered him con-
cealed behind the door of the privy in the rere of
the house; he brought him into the parlour, where
the prisoner denied his being a deserter, and offered
(apparently willing) to go before a Magistrate;
thus lulled into a ihn of '.security, Lieutenant Knight
went for a coach to bring him before the magistrates
at Marlborough-street, and on his return met with
two soldiers of his own regiment, whom he desired
should accompany him ; when the deserter saw
them, he roared out, " for the love of Jesus, don't
let them men costae near me I" By this time a great
crowd was assembled, aad the Defendants, aided by
them, gave the deserter an opportunity to escape ;
aad he never has been heard of since. In the
mean time, Serjeant Hammond was detained in
enstody, locked up for some time in a cellar, and
slitterwards brought before the Magistrates, by whom
.Ise was discharged.
This accouut was corroborated by the testimony
sK Serjeants Hammond and Berke ; the former. on
his cross-examination, admitted that he was striking
the deserter about the head with his cane, at the
time the Defendants interfered ; and the latter
swore, that he was present at the rendezvous house
when Duncan was enlisted.

Mr. Serjeant Re.sr, for the Defendants, main-
tained, that the charge against his clieats was hr no
means made out in evidence, or the situation of the
parties at the time. The dory, lie WAS Lure, would
not be satisfied, that the Defendants had assaulted
Hammond, with a premeditated 'mention of rescu-
ing the deserter, and breaking the pi-ace. Two
things were essentially I,ecess.iry to support thie in-
didment—the proof that Duncan was a deserter
from tl:e Eighth Regiment of Poot ; that the De-
fendants were aware of it, And also knew that the
Pro•ecutnrs %vete authorised to apprehend him Al
auc ; all of which proof was wholly absent ; he
might hare been oa furlough, and t,o ways liable to
be deemed A deserter ; on these grounds, therefore,
he contended, that the Defendants should be ac-
quitted.
Several respedable witnesses, however, were
culled to their charades., And reisresentad them to
be decent, honest, atfive, aid web-conduslted men.

This action, which excited considerable interest
in Court, Was brought to tecovvr damages from
the Defendants, who we, e Police Oilicei s, for as-
saulting the Plaintiff, and imprisoning him fur the
space of fifteen hours.
It appeared, from the evidence of Mr. Paul, a
pnblican, and several othet Witnesses, that, in the
latter end of November last, the Plaintiff was sitting
with some young men in a public-house in Old
Gravoidane Ratcliffe-highway, each drinkin" a
t Iti* of beer, and behaving in the most orderly
wlllower. The Defendants, at the head of a party
Of men, who called themselves Police Officers,
came in, and, though it was little more than half past
etas o'clock, ordered them all to leave the house in-
stantlyor they should be marched tothe watch-house.
This peremptory command produced some words ;
• and though the Plaintiff stated he was a house-
keeper, and would go as soon as he had drank his
beer, the Defendants hand-cuffed him, and took him
to the watch-h use, with the other men. He was
there, with many other prisoners, confined the en-
tire night in a loathsome dungeon, where he had
not even room to stretch himself on the floor. In
the gowning, when he was brought before the Ma-
gistrates, he was discharged, on paying a shilling,
there being no charge brought against him. Seve-
ral of the men taken up with him. were sent on
board the tend-r, but all, except one, got off by
producing pro:e'tions.
I'h. Loan Cuter it:tale& asked, what right the
Magistrates had to exact a shilling from a ni.tri who
was discharged on account of his innocence ? His
tip also wished to kekw what law empowered
to take men to the watclohoase whom they
behaving quietly in a public-house at half-
past ten o'clock ?
Seljeant Summit°, as Counsel for the Defend-
ant, said, he was sure the Magistrates were corre't
..
r in reading the shilling, as all the money they re-
' mired was paid into the hands of the Lois of the
Treasury. and they never refused receiving this
MI.
IU,
Cir tee. As to the latter part of what Isis
4lip raid, he believed there was a late ad ins-
powering the officess to do as they had done in the
present instance.
His Lordship was of opinion, that the Lords of
the Treasury did not give themselves much trouble
to enquire whether they had a right to receive mo-
ney, but were glad to take it at all events. He
Was also convinced, that there could be no such law
• as stated by Serjeant Shepherd.
' Witnesses were then called on the part of the De-
fendants. One of the Magistrates of the 'litanies
Police Office proved, that the Defendants had a
privy search warrant to visit the public-houses, and
to take up straggling seamen. Two or three offi-
cers were then called : they stated the same story,
nearly, :rs thei Plaintiff's witnesses ; and also
that there were several idle and disorderly women
in the house, but not in the room, where the Plaint-
iff sat. On cross-examination, they acknowledged
they did not take up these women, though they
knew them to be vagrants.
Seijeant COCICt L 1., on the part of the Plaintiff,
*peke to evidence. He, with much ability, impressed
on the minds of the Jury, the rights which, as En-
glishmen. they were entitled to, and the improper
uct of these Officers, in taking up the men who
1111
didran
drinking their beer in peace and good humour,
allowing the women, whom they knew to be
ts, to go about their business. Their reason
for this was, he said, that "sport:won neer,. lilt /be
*Wird." The Officers knowing very well, that if
were no idle womel, there would not be so
Shiny ill-conducted men, and then their business
• would not be so profitable. The Learned Serjeant
concluded, by calling en them for vindictive da-
pages, as this suit being defended, not by the Offi-
.pers, but by their superiors, large damages would

On Saturday. an Excise Officer was fully corn-
' mined fui trial, from the Public Office, Bow-street,
• charged with feloniously stealing a quantity ot
soap, from a soap-boiler's in Drury-lane, where he
was on duty. The Prosecutor had missed soap at
varions times, and at length suspected the Officer;
he, in consequence, placed some soap, properly
marked, in a place from which it was generally
taken. On Saturday, he had reason to suspect the
officer had taken some map, stopped him, and
f tend a quantity in his packet, which was marked
• sufficiently to enable him to swear to it.
