LON DO N,
MONDAY, MAY

14:11,14 hand a Bill, the otjca of which was
to prori,L_ fru the more ettYClaal trial accessaries
in the caw...! of wilfully sinking and destroying
ships, in or,ler defraud the trader% titers, and hie
other never try purposes. As the Law now stood,
the insirumerit or person, whether captain or not,
who actually committed the fad, was l'able to be
tried Lfore the high Court of Atimir.lty ; but it
was row kncvn that there etisted great doubts as
to the tribunal before which the accessaries on shore,
who had rlanned and contrived the plan of such
atrocious frauds, could be brought to trial. In a
. recent instance the captain or instrument, who actu-
ally was the cause of the ship's sinking, had been
tried and convicted, and had bmce suffered the law ;
but it was found, that a fit tribunal to try the acces-
sari's, whose criminality was the most aggravated,
as they had on shore coolly plahned the fraud, had
not been pointed out by any existing statute. They
had received his Majesty's pardon ; and therefore
immediately neon their being let loose on the pub-
lic, he had thought it his duty, vs ith the advice and
concurrence of the Judges, to prepare a Bill drawn
for the purpose of amending the law as it stood, and
supplying its deficiency in this particular. Ills Bill
also comprehended anotlkr objed, and it was this:
Hitherto, although persons guilty of murder on the
high seas were liable to be tried and capitally pu-
nished, those guilty of manslaughter were not.
This Bill went to apply a remedy to that defea also,
by enatling, that persons guilty of manslaughter
on the high seas should also be liable to be tried on

short•.
His I cricliip presented the Bill, and it was read
a first time, al,d ordered to be lead a second time on
Monday.

THE BRITISH PRESS.

Pope, trepidation, and anxiety, prevailed in an
extraordinary degree, on Saturday, in the City.
Lord Wits rwoRTH'S delay at Paris was considered
as favourable to r . ,7e, and the morning commenced
with a more general expeetation of an amicable ter-
mination of the present disputes with France than
had been entertained for several preceding days.
The Three per Cent. Consols opened at (iii, wi:h a
very promising appearance, and before twelve
o'Llock had risen to 6.51, for money, and (i 5! for
account ; a price considerably above the average of
the last four or five weeks. Between twelve and
one, however, a report was circulated that a French
Messenger had just arrived with peremptory instruc-
tions to General Asps bss, to leave London imme-
diately : several circumstances tended to confirm
this report, and accelerate the depression of the
Funds. No fewer than ten expresses from France
arrived in the course of the morning, some contain-
ing orders for the sale of Stock, and others for the
purchase of various articles of merchandize, parti-
cularly sugar, which was in great demand by the
French houses, at ao advanced price of two or three
shillings per cwt. The French Agents also, upon
whose information much reliance has been placed,

sold largely of stock in theeaily part of the
Upoa this report of General Amu itzus.:l's orders to
return, thOs strengthened, tilt Funds fell suddenly to
t:2l, but they were gradually recovering until two,
when the following letter, of which this is a copy,
was received by the LORD MAYOR.
"rvr 60k n• Downing-4rect, May 14, IRO3.
" I think it sight to Ilsr no time informing your Lord-
" ship, that Lisut, the Nl::s.esiger, i.s joist arrivA from Paris
.4:th dilimehes from Lord Wm ITWOR rot, by which it ap-
" pear. that L•ml WolTworris hrd received his pa4tports,
" ar.l soak on the point of leaving Paris when the Mcasanur
" critic away usi Thursday evening.
" 1 laec the honour to be,
44 my Lord, your
" ay. dkr:tit and hussiLlz :ert ant,
" II kW!. LSBURY."

" The !it'd Hon. the 1.0, D NI sync."
Mr. taste left Paris at nine o'clock on Thursday
evening, on his way from St. Petersburgh, with dis-
patches, and was only detained in his route by Lord
Wto it wok EH, so long as was necessary for his
Lordship to prepare :he communication which is the
foundation of the above letter. The LORD MAYOR
in person carried it to Lloyd's and the Stock Ex-
change, where he read it to his fellow-citizens.—
For the purpose of immediate and more general
publicity, copies of it were also posted up upon the
Mansion Howie, and sent round to the principal
Coffee-houses. 'I he result of this information was
an immediate depression of the funds to GU, and
for a few minutes to rl, from which last price,
however, Ciey shifted, and continued at alxrut 61:
for the rest of the day. A few private bargains were
done, we understand, at a late hour, for (it:. At no

time ef the day were the funds below 61, which,
consideriag that a very large quantity of stock was
,old out, proves that the public were by no means
panic struck by the unfavourable intelligence an-
nounced in Lord Hawetsecev's Letter. —The
first impression made upon the funds by this
communication appears to have been reduced in
some degree by retie:lion. The circumstance of Lord
WHITWORTH'S having received his passports', it was
argued, announced nothing new ; and as to his being
on the point of leaving Paris, that was said not to
be half so strong as the assurance that had been
lately given of his having actually set out on Wed-
nesday se'enight. The communication was also
considered pacific, for this farther reason, as a pos-
sibility still remained that Lord WHITWORTH might
be detained at Paris, and the negotiation be yet
brought to a favourable conclusion. This inference
probably produced the rise in the after-part of the
day from 61 to 61;, but we do not think it warranted,
in its full extent, by the premises. In the first place,.
the French passports are only made out for a limited
time. The passports therefore alluded to in Lord
HAW KESBI: av's Letter cannot allude to those which
Lord Witorwoirrit originally demanded, at the
time a fresh proposition was made to him by the
French Government, but to new passports, and as
such import, on the part of his Lordship, a recent
determination to quit Paris, and that could cnly be
in consequence of the last orders, and, as they arc
universally considered, the final orders of his Court.
It was also reported on Saturday that the Messenger
represented his Lordship us in the :k't of setting out,
and that he had preceded him merely as an avant
Courier to announce his arrival in the several towns
through which :re was to pass, and to bespeak
relays of horses.—Many circumstances which
transpired on Saturday evening and yesterday,
tended to confirm the report of Lord W lu TWOII T
departure from Paris, and inspire a belief that
war is inevitable.—After the departure of Mr:
List, t: the Messenger. from France, two packets
sailed, one from Calais, and the other from Bou-
logne, both of which landed on Saturday at Dover.
The passengers, several of them persons of great
respeaability, report, that Lord WHITWOR-1.11 had
aEtuaily left Paris, that he slept on Friday night at
Motureiul, and was to sleep on Saturday night at
Boulogne. • 'Fhis account was corroborated by the
relents which were propogated yesterday upon the
arrival of Nr. SHAW, the Messenger. He left
Calais about seven o'clock on Saturday evening,
and reached town about ten o'clock yesterday morn-
ing. According to his report Lord WHITWORIH
had left Paris at eleven o'clock on Thursday night ;
previous accounts had represented hint in • that
capital so late as nine, and his Lordship, if he
returned by Boulogne, might be expected in town
to-morrow. The lhichess of DoRSLT, it is said,
did nut leave Paris previous to his Lordship's de-
parture, but travels along with him. These
warlike rumours from the other side of the
water, are farther confirmed by what took place
at home on Saturday. In the morning the changes
of horses for his MAa ter v's return to Windsor were
as usual sent on to Cranford Bridge, and for her .
MAJESTY and the Pelee esses to Hounslow. His
MAJESTY'S carriage, which had been ordered upon
the presumption of the early arrival of a Messen-
ger from France, was also in readiness ; but the ex-
peaed Messenger not arriving in time, the Boys.
FAstriv remained in town ; mei a groom was
dispatched to Windsor to announce the change-
in the Royal will. Upon the arrival of Mr.
Lists, at one o'clock, the contents his dispatches

were laid before his Majesty. A Cabinet Council
tvas afterwards held upon them, and dispatches, we
understand, were, on Saturday night, and yesterday
morning, sent by express to all the principal ports,
ordering an embargo to be laid on all French vessels.
We cannot learn whether or not the Dutch trade has
been subje&ed to a like operation, but we suppose
it has, as the Dutch Ambassador here makes
common cause with the French, and Holland is as
completely under the subjation of the Ft it ST CONSUL
as the most servile department of France. The
French Government, however, adheres to its sys-
tem of delay, and seems anxious to spin out a
little more time in negotiation. On Saturday night
about nine o'clock, a Messenger as ived with
dispatches for General A snafu ossi. A sacond
arrived yesterday mowing at five, and a third
yesterday aWut one. On the arrival of the
last Mess.nger, Isis Excellency was on it visit
to the Portuguese Ambassador, in South Audley-
street ; from whence he afterwards proceeded to
take an airing. The Messenger went immediately
in the chaise in which he arrived in pursuit of him,
and returned with his Excellency to his house in
Portland-place. At five o'clock he sent off the
Nlesserger who arrived at five in the morning, and
went out to dinner. I its Excellency had not return-
ed at a late hour, and up to one o'clock this morn-
ing there Baas no symptom of any preparation for his
departure. The French Messenger, who arrived at
one o'clock yesterday, brought also letters for Lord
lIA w t: ay, which, with the dispatches of Mr.
San Alt, were yesterday submitted to a Cabinet Coun-
cil. The Council sat from three until near five
o'clock. From the activity of Couriers, and sittings
of Council after the negotiation was supposed to be
exhausted, and all discussion closed upon the point, it
was presumed, last night, that some new proposition
was made by France, and several pacific reports were
put into circulation. It was said that, even supposing
Lord \Voir. worrn to have left Paris, the door was
not closed upon peace, as his Lordship's Secretary
would remain behind : and that Gen. AND It toss!,
on the event of his departure, would leave behind
him his Secretary, so that a direct medium of di-
plomatic intercourse between the two countrieswould
still continue. Rumours of a contrary nature were
not, however, warning. Some said that orders
were received for the departure of the Ambas-
sador and all the commercial Consuls, and that
war was to have been actually proclaimed on
Saturday in France. We are not able to decide
between these opposite reports, but we do think
.hat the pacific rest upon a better foundation. By
I pacific we mean those reports uhich tend to in-
spire a hope that a decided rupture of the negoti-
ation is not near at hand. His Majesty's Message,
it is well known, came by surprize upon the FIRST
CONSUL. He was entirely unprepared for the blow.
Procrastination of course became the sole policy
which he could pursue. Every day some rich mer-
chantman, that in the event of a war would have
fallen into the hands of our gallant tars, arrives
safely in the ports of France, of Spain, and Holland.
Every hour of delay, until all his interests are se-
cured, his plans laid, and his means matured, is a
vierfory won by the FIRST CONsLL. Ihe spirit of
France, it is also well known, is not yet wound up
to a war height. The body of the people of. France
are anxious for peace; nor is there a friend of Bo-
AI'A wr E who does not think war would place him
in a most perilous sitnation. The disposition of the
principal Powers of Europe also does not seem to
be friendly to his views. The Emperor of GER-
MANY regards him with an angry eye, and
the Emperor of Russia is assembling a large army
ostensibly against Sweden, but universally believed
to be in fa6t called forth by his jealousy of the FIRST
CONSUL, and as a restraint upon his ambitious pro-
jeas. Prussia, alone wedded to France by a Cold
and avaricious policy, is anxious to remain neuter, in
which situation she may be .:hle to supply her friend
with naval stores. The navy of France is also in
a very reduced state. Wit', the exception of six
men of war building at Toulon, the French have
little more than a few sloops and frigates in the
Mediterranean. They reckon fifteen sail of the
hoe at Brest, many of them, however, not fit
for sea ; but then they have a strong fleet
in the Dutch ports We mean strong in com-
parison with • the French naval force in other
quarters; for the Firtsv Cossu t. himself, in one
of his conversation; with Lord WI;ITWORTH, ad-
mitted that it would take ten years to enable the
fleet of France to cope with that of England. With
all these unfavourable circumstances, it is, notwith-

standing, supposed that he is d, termined upon a
ructure, and that he only waits the favourable mo-
ment to strike the blow. Tha: L ow, it is feared,
will be first made against P. I t i dal, and under that
idea it is conjured our Goverrment have taken
measures to occupy the Bra;ils, and so far disap-
point his projeas.
The question of War, accord ng t( report, has been
submitted to a Council by the Ft a T CoNsot.. lie

may probably wish to associate come of his Se-
, mates, or Legislative Bodies, in the responsibility of
the resolution, whether it be tor Peace or War ?


..

EMI

The artifice, however, if meant as a sa*Ziion fUr
.confhiet, is a shallow invention. he States of Eu-
rope would consider the determination of such a
Council as they would the ver,:idt of a pada jury.

Yesterday we received Paris papers to the 13th.
Those cf the I'.lth confirm the report of the FutsT
CoNsut. having received a fall from an open car-
t iae..,e in the garden of St. Cloud, but it does not ap-
pear to have been attended with any serious conse-
quences. The French five per cents. were on tho
lth at 55.?.0. They appear to be dv.:l;iiing gradu-
ally.

There are rot wanting persons who, under the
idea that a communication could have been made
on Saturday, censure Ministers for the adjournment.
of both Houses of Parliame:lt till this day. This
supposition, grounded upon Lord HAwKr.ssus v's
letter to the Loan Nl...vote, is not a fair one. The
matter disclosed was not of the decisive nature
promised to Parliament, and which alz.ne could be
the subjet of the Royal Message. It appears to
have been communicated to the Lotto MA vote,
mercy to protect the market from fraud, imposition,
and false reports.

The Prince of \VALEs and Duke of Cumr:r*:-
LAN D, visited their MAJESrus yesterday mornin7,
at the Queen's House.
About half past three, Mr. AnniNoros waited
on his MA.II:3TV, and had a long conference.
Yesterday the Hon. and Hey. Mr. Srorrorto
performed Divine Service before their MAJLs-rss.s
and PR INCES.,Es at the Queen's-House.
The Gazette of Saturday night containel an Or-
der in Council for prohibiting for two months, from
the 11th inst. the exportation of naval stores; and
another of the same date, for allowing vessels em-
ployed in the African trade to take on board car.
riage-guns, swivels, &c. for their defence against as
enemy.
On Saturday night Mr. MAJOR, the Messenger,
was sent with dispatches to Portsmouth. Yesterday
about three o'clock, Mr. WAC;Si APE was sent ex-
press to the Earl of LINI.R POOL, at his country
house. _ . _ _ _ _

Our Correspondent at Deal, under date of Satur-
day evening, mentions the arrival of the Ambus-
cade frigate, from Admiral TnoitNnoitocca's
squadron, which he left cruising off Goree.
Letters from Portsmouth received yesterday state,
that the Woodford, for China, was the only arrival
at that port in the course of Saturday; the Prevoy-
ante went into harbour ; and that the Amphion was
lying in re.:diness to carry Lord NELSON to the Me-
diterranean.
Orders were, on Saturday, sent from the Admi-
ralty to Admiral Coax WALLIs, for the sailing of
his squadron from Torbay.

Russia, Austria, and Prussia, have severally de-
clared their intentions to preserve the stridest neu-
trality in the coming war. Prussia has denied tl.e
assertion made in most of the Foreign Journals,
that she meditated the occupation of Hanover, and
the shutting up of the Elbe and Weser against the
commerce of England, his Majesty declaring that
he will preserve the free navigation of those rivers,
and maintain the independence and neutrality of
Hanover. Communication to this effect was re.
ccived by the Regency or. the '26th ult. and dis-
patched to London.
Letters received by the Paris mail, on Saturday,
assert. that in the event of a war with England, the
French Government had made arrangements for
taking possession of Genoa, Leghorn, and all the
Neapolitan harboum Upwards of 100,000 men
are marching to Italy, and are to form two camps
in Piedmont and Lombardy. The King of ETRURIA
is to furnish a given force, to be at the disposal of
France.
The Emperor of Ru,si in reply to the letters
addressed to him by the CHIEF CUNSL L, and con-
veyed to Petersburgh by the Chief rf Brigade Co
BERT, on the subject of the difference with England,
has declared that, should a war result from it, he
will exert his whole influence and power to preserve
the neutrality of the Ntath. The recent arma-
ments in the Russian dominions, although pro-
fessedly against Sweden, are supposed to have been
made with this view, the more especially as the na-
val equipments are still continued, notwithstanding
the adjustment with the Court of Stockholm.
It is certain that both Russia and Prussia refused
to uarantee the independence of Malta.
The recent condud Of BONAPARTE to the Empe-
ror of GERMANY has been in the highest -degree in-
sulting and humiliating ;—in speaking to the Impe-
rial Minister at Paris, on the subject of the delay in
the Ratification of the Conclusum, observed, that
the impotency of Austria being known to all Eu-
rope, this reluctance on part of his MAJESTY tet
confirm a measure which lie could not avert, only
rendered his weakness the more manifest, and his
folly the more ridiculous : but he should beware
how he trifled with the French Nation, lest, in ex-
ading the penalty of the offence, the Sovereignty
of Austria should be annihilated." Amongst other
means used by BONAPARTE to intimidate the Em-
peror, and accelerate the Ratification, the French
troops in the Brisgau were reinforced, and ordered
to remain in possession of that country until the Ra-
tification was announced.
The animated panoramic pidure of the Shipping in
Leith Road:, and the City of Edinburgh, now ex-
hibiting in Spring Gardens, seems daify to rise in
'the estimation of the public. The Painter has stu-
died from nature, and his piaiire is a masterpiece.
The effed of light and shade upon the water is far
beyond any thing we have' ever seen ; the prosped
is grand, animating, and impressive. The sweetly
romantic environs the Scotch metropolis are too
well known to require any comment : the Artist
could not have chosen a better sullied.
The Lilliputian triumvirate, Masten BLACK-
MORE and Goooiscs, and Miss H. LETTIN, at the
Royal Circus, are the astonishment of each observer.
litacitstoaa, as Lounger LighOnger, bears a strong
resemblance to the Bond-street non-entities. The
hornpipe of Master GOODINGS is well danced, and
he gives the broad sword exercise with the precision
Of an old soldier. Miss H. LE yr is, as the infant
Prince, in the Serious Spectacle, and Queen Mae, in
the Comic Pantwnitne, receives the highest applause.

LA' lA:TELLIGEN..:Z.

COUR? OF MO's SATI:1111Ar, mAt 14.
DESONITOI:T t'.
Mr. Glass moved to set aside an annuity granted
by the Defendant, on the ground that it was not
properly memorializ,,d. The deft Was, that it did
not set out the trusts in the memorial, but referred
itself to the annuity deed.
The Court stopped Mr. Erskine on the other side.
Lord Ei.teenoeoton observed, that the deci-
sions run so dire against Mr. Clbs, that the Court
could not over-rule them. The an had recorded a
construaion, which he was free to a omit, in his
opinion, it ought not to have received. The an
merely direaed the names of the trustees to be in-
serted in the memorials, and that had been construed
to extend to the trout:. He was lad to hear that
this question was likely to be revised by a Court of
Error; and if they affirmed the &Kleine, it woald
then become the legislature to consider, whether the
a& had not better be amended. But as the cases
now stood, the Court was fettered in its judgment.
The annuity deed was accordingly ordered to be
given up to be cancelled.
COUNTRY NEW TRIMS.
Lord Er.i.ri:BOROUGH said, as the Court had a
great deal of business before it this term, it might
as well be understood, that the country new trials
should be postponed till next term.
CRIMINAL INFORMATION.
Mr. Retie moved for a criminal information
against a Mr. Lawrence and another gentleman, for
an abuse of their authority in the impress service.
lie moved it on the affidavit of a Mr. Milbourne, a
brewer, at North Shields, who stated, that these
gentlemen came to his brewhouse, and impressed
two of his servants, neither of whom had been to
sea, and one of them being his mister and manag-
ing man, without whose assistance his business must
stand still. He went to the inn for the purpose of
asking these gentlemen their names, and to what
ship the men had been sent, in order that he might
apply to the Captain to get them liberated ; when,
instead of that gentlemanlike condut that in general
charaaerized the Officers of the British Navy, he
had witnessed only iasolence and rudeness, the Offi-
cers swearing that they would impress him also,
and aanally forced him a mile out of the town, be-
fore they would permit him to return to his home.
On their way, one of them drew a pistol from his
pocket, the other desiring him to fire, if the de-
ponent made the smallest resistance.—The Court
dcsii:•.: Mr. Maine to take a rule to show cause.
Lord ht.i.sNcosouen sat at Nui Prism at three
o'clock. No cause hf any length or general interest
took place, his Loidship being summoned to attend
a Cabinet Council.
