" In it also are announced conneEtions, a corre-

spondence, and confidential relations with the
Powers of the Continent ;to insinuate the idea of a •
coalition which does not exist, and which it will be
impossible to'realise.
" France is too great to condescend to return in-
veetives. She owes to an ally, cruelly injured, aot
a useless pity, but a constant and faithful support.
" France has not an enemy upon the Continent.
She has no discussion with any Continental Power
which can attach to the war of the British Ministry.
Austria, Prussia, the whole of Germany, wish fcr
peacz, ani wish it with France; even within there
four days, the Emperor has received the most po-
sitive assonances of their amicable disposition.

" The Emperor Alexander would have prevented
she war, had England consented to accept his me-
diation ; he would, perhaps, since have put an earl
to it, if his Ministers at London and Paris had fol-
lowed the intentions he then entertained.
" The intervention of Ru,sia, extremely useful to
prevent hostilities, cannot be equally so, when it is
proposed to terminate them. England has nothing
to dread horn that power, and does not conceive
herself interested in observing certain measures
with har: this is known to all Europe ; the events of
the year 9 have demonstrated it, a-td the British r,o-
vernment has proved it. If England at present wishes
to derive advantage from some confidential commu-
nication, it certainly is not to manifest more pacific
intentions, her aim is to gain credit for an apparent
coalition, but she has no chance of success ; and her
hopes are illusory, for at Petersburgh as well as at
Vienna, as well as at Berlin ; the attack of the
Spanish ft qtr..' in the midst of peace ; the assasciia-
tion, in the midst of peace, of 3EIO vietims, immo-
lated by the cannon of England, or buried in Cie
waves ; the capture, in the midst of peace, of a
Spanish regiment ; the detention in the Mcditerr.
nean of eighty vessels of all mations ; and the per-
petual violation of the liberty of the seas, the com-
mon domain of every people, are considered as an
attack on the rights of nations, and injurious to ail
sovereigns.
"This correspondence, these confidential relations.
are therefore only so many chimeras, idle pretexts,
to avoid negotiations for peace ; such has always
been the perfidious system which seeks to sow the
seeds of war on the Continent, to eternise the mo-
nopol) of a single nation, and oppress the commerce
of all others. It was this same spirit which, to au-
thori.e the violation of the treaty of Amiens, created
in our ports imaginary armaments, and terrified 114
English nation with destrultive projefts.

- Gold practiced the contra& executed by the
Defendant, by which he was to make for the Ord-
nance copper shesoefs of a certain weight, and fur-
nish them with coppersmith's articles according to
cert tin !..at: rns.
Gen-r cl RochefrAt, Chief Fire-master at Wool-
wich, on the 6th of December examined 238 sho-
Tvb made by Warner. as he wide:l-stood, and found
the !candies loaded with solder. In consequence of
this he caromed a report to be made to the Baud of
Ordnance.

Edward Manuel, storeLeeper, produced the sho-
vels received by him from Warner in o,llolsei last ;
they were the same as examined by General Roche-
fort. They were brought by an err And cart ; the
man who drove it was one James %Valley.
William Cain produced the invoices of the
shovels from Warner. Gold was called to prove the
invoice to be the band-writing of Warner, hat said
Le did not think• it wei his harael-writing When

DREADFUL FIRE.

At Itall-traVE tips mornint,, a fio4
alarming fitre broke out a„: the. Cv v es,: of
St. George's Fields. Since shebusieng of the 00 .r:s
Wise, in 1789, we have not witnessed so su
lJra
and furiaits a confiAgt ation.—ln two minutes ai tee it
was first perceivable, it had auaincd the height of
its fury The whole neighbourhood of 3t. George's
Fields was as visible frown the Strand, through te
vistas of the streets, leading to the Thames, and all
the river between the bridges. as at laid day. le
one hour, the Theatre, the Coffee-house, the Tap,
th- Stables, and other office, adjoinisof, were entire-
ly enveloped with the times. The want of water pre-
seated the engines from yielding effeCtisal service.
The appearance of the neighbourhood was
f.ightful; the women and chit !ren flying in all di-
reetions, with scarcely any covering. The ~fire is
supposed to have been occasioned by the communi-
cation of a spark from a cantle with the oil u, td in
preparing the scenery for a new Pantomime. When
this paper was put to press, the fl ones had consider-
ably abated, and hopes were eatertamed that the
neighbouring houses would cscgpe. The inhabit-
ants., however, were buiily employed in removino,
their furniture. The drums beat to arms, and the
Volunteer Corps .4 the neighbourhood i!t-:-.desi

HYDE PARK.

The plan for covering the naked sands of Hyde
Park with verdure, which has been adopted with a
view to prevent His Majesty from being hereafter
exposed. during any review, to the cause that prin-
cipally produced his late inflammation of the eyes,
namely. the clouds of dust raised by the wind and
the motion of the troops, has already been com-
menced. Several teams were on Tuesday employed
in conveying to the different bare parts of the Park
a rich mould for the purpose. It is intended to lay
strata of this mould. two or three inches thick,
over the naked surface, and then to dress the whole
with a sprinkling of grass seeds, so that by next
summer a luxuriant verdure will have succeeded to
the sterile aspeirt which now, in many places, dis-
figures the face of the Park. The mould is taken
from the bed of the piece of water between the Ride
and the Drive, which has been drained for the pur-
pose. No manure is more favourable to quick ve-
getation than the slime deposited in ponds, and this
has the additional advantage of being immediately
near the spot. The bridge in the Ride is nearly
completed, the arch being construard, and the
workmen employed in making it water tight. It
will soon be in a state to admit equestrians to take
their accustomed ride.

CORoN ER'S INQUEST.

Tuesday an inquisition was taken at the White
Horse, Hyde-park Corner, before ANruonv Gra.
Esq. Coroner for Westminster, en the body of
Frederick Eldred, who cut his throat in Hammond's-
court, Jump-street, on Friday.
Simms, hair-dresser, in the above court,
stated, that the deceased came into his shop on
Frida♦ afternoon, in a very confused state, and
desired to be shaved, Witness was about to obey
his orders, when he desired that his hair might
first be cut, and he would then shave himself.
—lie did so ; after which the Witness, who was
busy in the shop, heard the razor fall, and he per-
ceived the deceased covered with blood. Assistance
was instantly called for, and a young man who
lodged in the horse, was knocked down by the de-
ceased while in the ail of stopping the blood from
the wound. He, however, was overpowered, and
taken to St. George's Hospital in a coach, where he
expired at twelve o'clock on Sunday.
By the testimony of several witamses, it was
clearly proved, that the deceased had been for some
time in a state of delirium. He had lately got a
comfortable situation at Fulham, but his conduit
betraying strong marks of insanity, he was conveyed
to the house of his father, who has been one of His
Majesty's pages since his accession to the throne,
and was in the same station for some years previous
to the death of George 11. The deceased made his
escape on Friday, over the leads of the palace, and
proceeded to the shop where the dreadful catastrophe
took place. Under all the circumstances, the Jury
brought in a verdiet of Lunacy.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KINGS BENCH, WESTMINSTER, 14.

This being Midsummer Day, the Judges did not
sit as usual in Term time.
At nine o'clock Lord ELLENEOROUGII sat at
.IViri Prlas, when a few causes of no public interest
whatever were disposed of; among which was an
anion brought by Mr. Alder, shoemaker, against
Mr. Braawry, the celebrated Clown at the Royal
Circus, for 101. 7s. for shoes and boots sold to
him. The Defendant was arrested for the debt ;
and the chief question for the Jury was, whether
the debt aftually amounted to 101. so as to warrant
the arrest: after hearing the evidence, the Jury
found a verdict for the Plaintiff of 101. 6d.

their Paper ; but it was forbidden by the Magistracy
of dirt City.

HAGUE, MARCH 30.

The trial of the Civil and Mika' y Officers, who
Lave surrendered our Colonies to the enemy, would
have commenced long since, if the principal among
them had thought proper to return to Holland. But
AS they preferred staying in England, we cannot tell
when we shall be able to commence the examination.

TROM THE CAMP AT ST. ROCH, MARCH 7.

In pursuance of orders issued by the Command-
ant
General, the battalion of Barbastree, with the
company of carabiniers and artillerists, proceeded
yesterday to the line ; and the regiments of Gerona,
of Cantabria, and that of the cavalry, kept th,sm-
s,:lees in readiness to march on the shortest notice.
On the arrival of the troops, 50 cat abiniers took post
before the tower of Molinos, from the strand on the
East side, to the opposite side ; I n men, armed
with hatchets and other warlike implements, sallied
from Fort St. Philip ; eighty of those wore com-
manded by Don Valdes, and Ahe rem-under by Don
Certates. 'llse latter, at the head of his small patty,
condaCted it to the stone-piles which ne si:uated
at the foot of the Mount on the north and
Don Valdes marched directly against the English
guard of the Devil's Tower, which he surprised.
The English post was inclosed at the moment that
resistance was attempted ; the Officer charged with
the defence of this post was undressed in bed, and
sleeping soundly. TwO of the English were killed.
The centinePs musquet missed fire ; and the re-
mainder of the guard fled to the citadel, and alarmed
the garrison ; on this both the Spanish detachments
returned to their lines, taking with them the English
Officer and three soldier s, one of whom was mor-
tally wounded. The Spanish fire ships had gone
out of the river; but the night being too clear, they
could undertake nothing.

SIR VIRII 1111.:NT, BART. V. DUSERLY.

The Defendant in this c Ise had contra Red with
the Plaintiff to furnish I. with ceit.,in claa:hing
for a Volunteer Corps, of which the. PLontiti had
the command. the contrael being paid, the De-
fendant afterwards furnis.ied an acc,mnt of extras,
which the Plaintiff also ti,•;ch trir,ed,, and now brought
his aftioa to recover back tiie latter sum. Atter
going into some evidence, the parties agreed to re-
fer the matter to arbitration.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Fa.. 2S.

DVINY V. DOWSON.

The Plaintiff, a Gentleman residing at Wood-
bridge, in Suffolk, brought his adion to recover the
value of eighty gallons of Hollands, which the De-
fendant, a ship owner, had negligently suffered to
leak out of the cask, while conveying it from Lon-
don, in his vessel, to the place of devination. The
liquor was sent in a cask, supposed to he sounds ft onl
Mr. Gray's distillery, in Iseadeuhall.street, to the.
Defendant's ship, and, in the voyage to Woodbridge,
the who!, leaked out except one pint, which was at-
tributed either to the Captain's inattention in not seP-
ing"the cask properly stowed, or to what is termed
imelini the Monkey ; a peculiar mode praaised by
seamen of drinking liquor out of casks in a ship's
hold; it however appeared by several credible wit-
nesses, that the Holland' had been put in a bad
cask. Th, aperture in one of the stares, .hro'igh
which the liquor had leaked, was examined in

Court, and there did not appear any ground ter cis-
pet it b id been unfairly made, the Jury theteture
folllld a verdift for the Defendant.
