In the Court of Common Pleas, on Wednesday,
an aetion was brought by a Mr. Smtrut against the
Rev. Mr. GiLo Alt T. The Plaintiff is a poulterer at
the West-end of the town, and brought his aaion
against the Defendant, to recover the sum of 111.
9s. for poultry furnished to his wife. The Defen-
dant resisted the demand, on the ground that he had
parted from his wife ; that he allowed her 2001. a
year for a subsistence ; that he had warned trades-
men, through the medium of the public newspapers,
from giving her credit on his account ; and that if
he was made liable, her extravagance would inevit-
ably ruin him and hi; family, consisting of six chil-
dren. The papers alluded to were then put in, and
the advertisements read.

Lord ALV AN LEY regretted tl:e unfortunate condi-
tion of the Defendant, and advised him to get a pro-
per alimony legally settled upon her ; as it was, the
mutual separation that had taken place, and the ad-
vertisements he had caused to be put in the papers,
were no defence to the action, unless he could prove
the Plaintiff himself had read them.
Verdi& for Plaintiff, ill. 9c.

The Defendant was some time since cast in two
similar aftiuns in the King's Bench, on which occa-
sion misfortunes and the lady's extravagance
were the subjeFt of much animadversion by the
late Lord KEN y ov.

One of the Paris Papers which we received on
terclay contains the following paragraph The
Editor of the English Journal, printed in this city,
has returned a second time to the charge against
the English Ambassador, whom he reproaches
with not being sufficiently polite towards the En-
glish who are at present at Paris. The indifference
of Lord Wit tTwo writ chagrines him much, and if
his statement can be believed, gives so much offence
to his countrymen, that there is not one of them
who does not loudly exclaim against him, and who
does not envy other foreigners, on account of their
Ambassadors : one of the greatest crimes of his
Excellency in the eyes of his accuser is, that he
kept in his pockets more than twenty cards of
invitation to diplomatic dinner's, which were sent to
him to be distributed at his pleasure, to such Eng-
lishmen to whom he should think proper to pro-
cure that pleasure. Without wishing to enter into
an examination of these grievances, it may, per-
haps, be proper to observe, that the foreign writer
in question seems to be of a very caustic disposition.
At any rate, he has hitherto shewn himself so
sparing of praise, and so lavish of accusations, that,
except a few friends whom he seems to have left in
Ireland, and of whom he has declared himself the
I champion, be has not thought any person worthy
L of his good will."
