PRIVATE LETTER.

PARIS. JUNE 18.
Bonaparte intends next week to set out for th
cast ; and, as he is to return before the I trh
July, the common belief here is, that, shouid win
an I circumstances permit, something will be bit .e;
taken before that period.
The day before yesterday, extra-couriers left tlii,
city in Holland, Bnul-igne, and Brest, with runlets
for our naval Commanders to seize the fist oppor-
tunity of putting to sea, and mete 9mi emu, land in
Englit.td, as many troops as prtss.ble, so tha-, bet. ire
the coronation ceremony, an invasion and yid-tory
may be announced.

Our Brest fleet is nearly as numerous, and Eh:.
Tete! fleet not much inferior, to the, English, block-
ading fleet. But, both in our fleets and ti )td as,
are some chosen ships, containing picked and des-
perate crews, called 'Vans perdu:, who, as an ad-
vanced guard, are to try to create confusion among
their enemies, by boarding, Ste.; and, by it, permit
the remainder of their fleets and transports to escape,
and to land their troops in England. Every man
of these crews, who survives, is to be created a
Member of the Legion of Hunour, and to receive
a pension.
On board these ships, are, besides, combustible
matters, of a new composition, which are said to be
imentingatishable.

According to what I have heard in conversation
with French Naval and Military_ Officers, the Direst
fleet is intended to invade the' West; the Terel
fleet the East; and the Boulogne flotilla the South
of England. As to Ireland, they said, it would
fall by itself, if they were vidlorious in fireat
Britain.

These particulars are no secrets here, but talked
of in all our first and best informed societies.

This was an information filed against the De-
fendant, for sending a letter to one Mr. Thomas,
with intent to provoke him to fight a duel.
The D:fendant, Mr. Phillips. had been a candi-
date for the county of Carmarthen, on the late
eleaion, but resigned in favour of Sir Wm. Paxton.
Bart. to whom Mr. Thomas was agent upon that
occasion. In consequence of the election, some
money matters had taken place between the De-
fendant and Mr. Thomas; upon which they had
some discussions, and letters were written by the De-
fendant, to Mr. Thomas, relative to them; one or
which he concluded nearly in these words :--.1 It
will be sufficient for me to tell you, that in the
whole of the Carmarthen business, as far as relates
to me, you have behaved like a blackguard.—l
shall expe4,to hear from you, and will attend any
appointment you shall make." Upon this letter,
the information had been granted.
Mr. CLIFFORD, in a very animated address to
the Jury, on behalf of the Dzfindant, relied chiefly
on the constration which this letter would bear,
whether it was a challenge, or a letter to provoke a
ch tflenge; and requested that the Jury would, in
their verdia, distinguish the difference, if they
should be inclined to find against his client.
The Jury found the aolendant—Gistlty of reading
e litter to pro; oke a chahangt.

MANN V. TLANNAOAN.

This was an aftion for false imprisonment. The
Plaintiff had been servant to the Defendant, who
was a surgeon. They had been at the Island of
Trinidad, and, on their return borne, the Defendant
gave certain papers belonging to t :overnor Pißon,
to the Pliintiff, which he was to deliver sate to one
Mr. Nugent. The papers never came to hand, and
the Defendant carried the Plaint if before a ma-
gistrate, and charged him with a felony ; upon
which he was committed to Clerkenvrell Jail, and
there kept in irons for some days.
Upon the examination of the magistrate's clerk,
it appeared the Plaintiff WAS charged with having
received the papers, which he could not account for,
and with having converted them to an improper
use, by delivering them to the opposite party. In
consequence of which charge be bad been com-
mitted.

Lord Ettsiesoaotion observed, that the com-
mitment was a regular one. but was not so set out
upon the pleadangs, and the Plaintiff was nonsuited.

FEMALE FASHIONS FOR JUNE.

The present stile of dress is the most graceful that'can be
conceived. The veil, suspended front the head, and covering
the whole figure, is a happy device of modasty blended wok
tame, et a time when, from the shortness of the sleeves, and
the openness of the robe upon the bosom, delicacy seems to
require some protection from the vulgar gaze. The light
sjlphid firms are entirely exploded ; nothing is considered so
ware as a slender waist, while the en bon point to almost Dutch.
like ponderosity is the he phis Ora of feminine proportlonc.
The lived Dresses are formed in an infinite variety, difficult to
describe ender one general view. Some are composed in Goa
with simple flowers, and same with feathers; they are inter.
mixed with diainonil, bronze, &c. but all terminate with a sus
perlamil of various kinds, tire gold arid silver tissue of which is
of an extremely light construction, ke. The most elegaie
that has appeared for some time, it similar to the Po icstes. It
is composed of a large Gossamer veil, with a rich Etruscau
border, end is, according to fashionable report, the invention of
Mite PAINS. This, and herbeautiful Naves cap, seem to pans
induced all our Elegant:3 to take the Vail ; but a veil whose
beauty iiiilleates no wish to renounce the world and all its ei .
joytnents. The Bacchante Head Dress is simple and pretty.
The hair is dressed with great taste ; the front of the head is
bound with grapes, and the back part covered with a veil.
Gossamer, crape sod silk lull-dues Hat% with featheekto match,
are universal, as are chips and straws for undress. The Cloak*
are of light ?;,s teed or spotted Lorimis, narrow and amed with
colours to match the hat or honnet. The new Mamie of Gore
sanier, bound all round with coloured ribbon, divided behind,
■nd pendent before front each sbouldtr, has a light and pietas
rr-que effect. The Morning Drcs:m have not long trains, but
are made with long sleeves, high collar, and fastened with an
antique to the throat. The bottom of the dress is trimmed in
raomefterrs. White satin and sarmet dress.•; reach woes Its
the bear monde, as also crapes and thin mishits of all kinds and
colours, male very plain and simple, and worn over white oaths
"rani:net slips. White Shoes are worn in full dress. In undress,
they are of the colour of the ribbons, or of the robe. Short Pelisee
of sprigged Lenous, faced or lined with colour, are worn in open
carriage:, with large muslin bonnets to match. French grey
riding dresses, and black beaver hats, quite plain, are coming
into fashion. A white crape Savoyard jacket, trimmed all
round with silver, over a crape dress, and open before, is an el
cant full dress fir young ladies.

• DROGHEDA, Aut.. 23.

On Tuesday last, Abu Mahe*, convicted at Ar.
magh Assizes, for th.• muder and robbery of the
post-boy, near Newry, was executed at Armagh,
pursuant to his sentence, and the body of Mohan
was then given over for interment to his friends, and
the corpse was brought to Drogheda, the place of
his nativity, and the scene of many of his most atro-
cions ads, with astonishing rapidity; for on Wed-
nesday his family had the audacity, at noon day, to
place the holy at the door of Grimes, whom he
had last winter desperately and wantonly wounded,
and with horrible imprecations threatened and aba-
sed the old man and his family, by whose means
they alleged the miscreant bad been brought to an
untimely end, and, after remaining there for some
time. it was removed to his fathers house, next door
to Grimes's. 0.1 the North Road, to be waked, where
it was laid out in great pomp, and before eleven
o'clock at night, there was an assemblage of not less
than one hundred persons in the house, and many
were expeeed, when, to the great annoyance of this
family of freebooters and their friends, the Mayor,
with his usual promptitude, having previously sur-
rounded the premises with a detachment of the
Loyal Drogheda Infantry, the command of Capt.
Evans, and a party of the Supplementaries, en-
tered the house, and took into custody the father and
mother of M,,han, for the abuse of Grimes. and one
of his brothels, charged with several °deuces, and
Ann Mohan. his sister, against whom there are
various examinations, for passing to different shop-
keepers in Drogheda numbers of the notes robbed
from the mail by her brother. The groove was
then dispersed, and the corpse immediately remov-
ed, and the following morning buried at the square
of the New Market. He was to have had a public
funeral on Unrsday, and to be boned at Mount
Newto,vn in the county of Meath, about tour miles
from this town.

Has Providence attached the duration of lawful

courage, and to the loss of all noble virtues ? Hap-

her spirit, and her glory, ar.! able to surmount her
enemies, as well as the defection of Europe. Her

COURT OF KING'S BENCIT, Cytton A LL, Dec. 11.

Sittings at Nifi Friar, before Lord ELLEN eo ROLICI It
WILLAN V. WILBERFORCE BIRO andOTllltts.
This was an at...lion upon a Bill of Exchange, date.'.
the ltlth ofiune. ISO 4, drawn by the Delendaws ills
Messrs. Bird and Co. Ludgate-hill.
Mr. GARROW, on the part of the PlAintiff, w:n,
through the usual forms of proving thehand
on the hill

M. ERSKINE, on the part of the Defendants, stated,
that in consequence of the contest at the late elec-
tion for Coventry, at which the Defendant, Mr. %Va.-
l'am IVilberforee Bird, was, unfortunately, a candi-
date, lie became very much involved, and after-
wards a bankrupt. He produced the certificate, as
a full and complete answer to this part of the case.
The debt originated in the expences incurred in con-
veying eleaors, from London to Coventry. The de-
fence, on the part of Mr. Daniel Jones, one of the
Defendants, he observed, was attended with little
difficuTty ; he had no concern with the bill in ques-
tion, as his partnership with Bird had been dissolved
in the month of March, rior to the date of the bill,
which date was subsequeet r) the advertisement in
the Gazette, of such dissolution.
It appeared in evidence, that the bill was drawn
at. Coventry, upon the house in town, and whca pre-
sent::l for acceptance, the name of Bird and Co was
upon the door, and the bill was regula ly accepted.
Lord ELLENIIIIROUGIS told the fury, that the
question fir their consideration we evil:ether-D. Jones
had pl iced himself in such a way as t. deceive the
public, and make the n awe i,. the Gazette void?
There were three Jae: •nt ways in which persons
might be responsible as partners: they might be
either participators in the pro, . or they might dis-
play such appearances, as to indicate that they had
such a participation, without, in fail, having any
benefit whatever a:: sing thereFt ow. The cla:m of the
Plaintiff, against I ?..'unes, ft- elant,deoended upon
the latter , and tile question whether, by suffer-
ing his name to remain neon : se dour, where the
business had been transaded, he did render h'mseh
so. far ostensible ? I: was said, that the Gazette was
rarely seen, and that, therefore, it was IP sufficit--:t
notice : his Lordship knew of no means rno.e usual,
as persons occupied in c. •, oiercid pursuits were in
the habit of pa:iing attention to the subj.et.

Tankerville, the honourable Charles Grey and his
Lady, Sir Ralph Milhanke, and many more,
amounting to about seventy. who were received
with the most marked attention by his Grace and
Lord Percy, and the most condescending affability
by the Duchess and her lovely darpthters. The
company sat down to dinner about half past five,
it and formed the most enchanting sight, there being a
pleasing mixture of ladies of the first beauty and ele-
pance, with gentlemen of the most distinguished ap-
pearance and talents. The true old English hospita-
lity was displayed, and the most enlivening conversa-
tion flowed from his Grace and the party. The com-
pany did no: separate till ahnut 9 o'clock, when most
of them retired to the Sessions Hall, to enjoy a ball,
which is general at this time. The Duchess, Lady
Grey. and Hon Mrs. Grey, ;paced the assembly, and
