The Solicitor General this day showed cause against the rale,
and contended there was not the least ground to impale a nor.
rapt motive.
The court were of opinion, upon a view of all the affidavits,
that Oleic was no ground to say Mr. Lewis had acted opp►es-
sively, and that be had dune nothing he might think be was
mot bound to do.
Ilse rule for a criminal information was discharged.

Miss Jane Biddy, diosider of the plaintiff remembers Mr.
Howell calling at her mother's, shoat three o'clock on the Bth
of August—her mother premised. if he called at five that even-
ing, he should be paid. About eight o'clock that night witness
heard a loud knock at Ike door. Witness looked out of the
window, and saw an ilislookiegotan, in a state of intoxication,
leaning against the wall of the street-door, whom she since
knew to be Manning, the when defendant. He demanded to
see Mrs. Biddy ; and being told she was not at home, be said
he'd call again in the morning. Witness particularly urged
him to tell lilt business, bat he declined. As wit was
going up stairs, she saw him out of the window, getting over the
rails of the back garden. Witness immediately screamed oat.
She then ram down and bolted the back door, which wa.: beret in,
and the man fell in nearly upon me." He then called out,
•• Lam in my boys, and I'll let you in." At that moment a
thundering rap came to the street door; Manning ran and
opened it, letting in Howell, the defendant, and Mr. Crenbrook.
When Howell entered he said—" I have a warrant for the
poor ratan." Witness said, For God's sake let me entreat
yogi don't make this exposure, the money has been ready fbr yen

tendered the money. to Howell, and then swearirg, he said,
•• Madam, for year impudence, I will make you pay the levy,"
—he was very mach intoxicated, and so was Massing. W item
sent for Mr. Wilson, her attorney, and again tendered the money,
one pound odd. There was a great tuintilt and molt before the
door. Howell demanded IL its. 641.. and took that sum of
the table. Mr. Howell said he bad takes too mash, and gave
beck 6s. tid.

was the rate-collector, and that he had railed frequently to
demand payment; is not in. Ute habit of locking the door and
answering •ront the window., but might have done so to the
collectors in several instances ; will swear that the door was
bolted when Manning burst it open ; did not know thehManning

Mr. Serjeant Lens stated this ease. It was an action for
false imprisonment, and the damages were laid at 50001. The
plaintiff was a aergeon, and the defendant eaptaiu of the ship
Arrow, and the iinprisonistent took place on board that ship
on her voyage from India to England last year. The plaintiff
was • passenger coming home with a certificate of illness.
The defendant pleaded • justificati )))) .
Capell proved the plient:ff having bee• cotleed to his
cabin by the defendant's order.
J. Sellia, a musician on board the vessel, stated that he car-
ried various messages Com the plaintiff to the deludatit.—The
former wa► confined by order of the latter.
Cross-examined by Mr. Serjeant Taddy.—The papers now
produced are in the hand-writing of Jones. Mr. Jones used
to call Captain Bringham • blackguard and villain—he, on one
occasion, threw a saucer-full of jelly at the captain's head.
John Smith was appointed sentry over Mt. Jones—be was
relieved at the end of two boors—don't know who took his
post when he weal—liie plaintiff had a sentry over hies till the
ship arrived it, the English Channel.
Tide was the ctse for the prosecution.
Mi. Srrjeaut Pell, for the defence, then proceeded to read
a number of letters and notes to the defendmil front the plain-
-4ilr, in which the latter stigmatised the runner, Major Ilowieson,
and several eminent passengers, as " villains, blackguards,"
and scoundrels"—that they were "a disgrace to society,
and the vilest creatures the Almighty ever seffered to exist;'
but it was with prie he was obliged to revert to those disgust-
ing documents, of which the jury hail only heard a part, to
clear the character or Captain Bringlisin. and to show to the
world the dark mind of the plaintiff. (More letters mere then
read, couched in the sante strain as the former, and also a
requisition, signed by all the passengers, to the captain, re-
questing the plaintiff might not he allowed to dine with them
at tffeir general table.) If lie (Serjeant Pell) should Trove •
these facts, then he had no doubt of the verdict being in his
favour, and thus Captain Bringhain would be cleared of a,
char..* which materially affected his character. The Leitrim,/
Counsel, after eensuri •g in severe terms the plaintiff's bell a.
I Moue, and commenting on " the malignity of his dispositin
called
Major Falvey, of the East 'lndia Company's service, 'who

Mr. Serjeant Pell said he could go much fugtber, but the
Jury said they were satisfied.

wanted in argument, be had le make up in " sound and fal-

THE GUN TRADE.—The workmen of Birming-
ham in every branch of this important trade are now
fully and actively (though it is feared temporarily)
employed. Tlte demands for an increase of wages aru
yet matter of divute ; some advance, we believe,
has been already inside. Meetings have been held
by the masters on the subject, and much fear is yet
entertained by them that orders will find their way
to other countries if the men persist in their de.
mantis. Lists of prices have been sent by the mas-
ters to agents in various parts of Europe, und from
the silence maintained by the greater put of those
agents, it is expected that the prices stated may
possibly be thought too high,.

LONDON, SUNDAY, JANUARY 6.
The meetings to petition Parliament to direct its
attention, towards the distresses of the Agricultural
world are becoming general—that of the County of
Norfolk was held on Friday last, and we under-
stand that an union of all political parties was to take
place on the occasion—Whigs and Tories were all to
sing to the same tune—the former prove their
consistency—they now, have only to lament the
effects of those measures which they all along heroic-
ally opposed—but how contemptible s figure do
the chop-fallen Tories cut I the Wodehouses and
their myrmidons, who had no objection to vote for
every infamous estimate that was laid before an in-
famous House of Commons during a lung war—
who had no hesitation in consigning to penury,
want, and starvation. the whole of the manufacturing
class, .while they shared in the booty by places and
pensions, and were enabled to treble their rent-rolls,
while the starving mechanic was purchasing for his
half-famished children flour at from six to eight
shillings s peck—thane men are the first to- bellow
about " agricultural distress" at the very moment
that they must know the present distress (of nut
only the agricultural, but of every other class whose
distresses are equally great, but are borne with more
fortitude than the agriculturists possess)has been pro-
duced by the infernal system, which, for the sake of
placing an impotent King upon the throne of
France, expended eighty four millions of English
hard-earned money in one year I I—the suffering of
this guilty part of society cannot be too great.-we

EX OFFICIO INFORMATIONS.

.~-~

The Earl of Nlot R A begged leave to request of his Noble Friend
Lord Holland) that lie would agree to let Palmer's Compensation
&II have tl►e precedence, in the order of discussion to-morrow, of
those Bills relative to the above subject, which his Noble Friend
h:cl previously given notice of his intention to bring forward.—
Agreed to.

APPELLANT JURISDICTION AND COURT OF CHAN-
CERY BILL.

Lord REDESDALZ moved the Report of the consideration of this
Bill, and took the occasion to ,express his surprise that he had been
previously called on to assign the grounds upon which he proposed
the Bill to the House. He then stated, that it was originally founded
on a Report of their Lordships Committee on the subject, made so
fir back at 1811, and adverted to a variety of considerations, more
than once previously and ably urged by his Lordship, to show that
the great accumulation of Appeals in that House, and the vast increase
of the business, of late years especially, in the Court of Chancery,
rendered it necessary that an Assistant should be appointed to the
Logi Chancellor, in the transaction of the business of his peculiar
Galt, in order to enable him to devote an adequate portion of Jib
thn.: to the assisting in the hearing of, and deciding upon Appeals,
as Speaker of their Lordships' House. The Noble and Learned Lord
Concluded, by moving a verbal amendment or two in the second
clause of the Bill. •
These, after a few worth front the Earl of RADNOR, were adopted.
he Loa') CHANCELLOR, in an argumentative and tbreible speech,
ex.iressed his full concurrence in every thing that had brew advanced
Noble and Learned Friend.
The Report was agreed to by their Lordships, and the Bill ordered
to be engrossed,—Adjourned.

CASE OF THOMAS BALL.
Earl STANtiopk: said, he held in his limul i• the humble petition
of'fhomas Ball, a prisoner in his Maj_.sty's prison the l• leer, for an
alleged offence against the Revenues of the Crown." A ino:)gst other
mete it was stated, that the Petitioner on the evening 01 the :idth :)t
flarch, 1811, was proceeding on foot from Rochester to Gravesend,
in expectation of coining up with the mail coach, in order to be con-
vqed to London; that at about three miles from Rochester, he met a
!Ilan in a post-chaise, who asked him it he wanted to be conveyed to
'rn ; he answered in the affirmative, and was admitted into the pcst-
Cliaise ; he soon observed a few barrels, resembling oyster barrels, in
London, England, 1812-07-19

strict ourselves to a very general, and very cursory view of
the events to which we have allude:l, anxious to say no
more than is necessary to place in a proper light that which
is the subject of the present Disquisition.
It is a fact not less singular than it is notorious, that France
ewes her present aggrandizement, in a great degree, to the
dints which have been made to set bounds to the extrava
gance of her ambition. To circumscribe her power has
been the object of all the Continental ❑ations ; all have at-
tempted to accomplish it, and all in succession have failed.
Roused to arms by a sense of her injustice, all in turn have
set themselves in hostile array against her, and, vanquished
by her power, all i►l turn have ranged themselves under her
banners at once, the victims and instruments of her oppres-
sions. With one common object in view, the nations of
the Continent have suffered partial interests to oppose an
insuperable barrier to a concentration of strength. That
degraded being, who sways the shadow of a sceptre in Prus-
sia, seated on a throne which he may be said to rent of Br; o-
N AP ARTE, saw Austria vanquished, and-vanquished through
an aggression on his own dominions, without making one
effort to avert such a catastrophe. A calm, if not an ex-
ulting spectator of the overthrow of a neighbouring power,
while his own authority was not immediately menaced, his
selfish heart was at ease, and applauding the address with
which he hc.d escaped the storm, he did not rise to oppose
it till he saw himself on the point of being overwhelmed by
its accumulated strength.
The KING of PRUSSIA at last took up arms, and advanced
against the common enemy of Europe, and of the World, mag
hanimously declaring it to be his resolu!ion •' to conquer or

NEGOCIATIONS _AND HOSTILITIES WITH RUSSIA.
The most important documents contained in the French
papers this week, have at last removed the veil that had so
long concealed the real !,fate of the relations between the
chief Continental Powers, and the object of the negociations
commenced some months ago NVith this country. This pub-
lication consists of the official letters that have passed be-
tween the French Minister of State, Duke BASSANO, and the
Russian Ambassador, Prince KURAKIN, at Paris, and the
French Ambassador, LAUI4ISTON, and the Russian Minister,
ROMANZOW, at St. Petersburgh ; and of the proposals for
Peace, made in April last to Lord CasTLEREAGII, with his
Lordship's Answer.
The great end of the French Government, in submitting
these State Papers to the public eye, was certainly that of
impressing the people of France, and its allies, with a belief
that NAPOLEON sincerely wished for a general Peace, and
that most strenuous exertions had been made on his part
to attain it. The publication itself, however, must, in the
opinion of every impartial man, totally defeat that purpwe.
If we confine ourselves to the communications sent by t! .e
French iiii,ters, we-shall find nothing but pacific disposi-
tions, and the expreision of a most ardent desire not to in-
crea2c by War the woes of humanity. We shall see, on
the lat t of their master, a spirit apparently most rat:ent of
neglect and insult, and so bent on Peace, as even, on the
edge of battle, to renew his solicitations to be allowed to ne-
gociate. But if we look into the replies of the Russian
ter, we shall clearly perceive that all in the former was hollow
and insincere, and that NA r °LEON'S regard for Peace ul.s
only assumed, to delude his opponent into forbearance and
inactivity, whilst be completed his preparations for NX ar.
We shall see that, although all the causes of complaint
lay on the side of Russia, she abstained to the last from
• any step which might throw the least obstacle in the way of
negociation. In the midst of her military strength, at a
time when the Duchy of Warsaw remained almost defence-
less before her, she did not seize the proffered opportunity,
to rush forward, in the spirit of ambition and conquest;
but kept her armies within her own frontiers. Not satisfied

curred at Guildhall, on Wedneslay : —Mr. Thomas Levert, an ec-

cion of having stoical two pictures—one a Sea Engagement, the ether
a Sporting sithket.• The constable who had the defendant in custody
stated, that he met him at a late, Our on Tuesday night with the pic-
tures under his arm, in tieet-sti..tct. On requesting him to give an
account how he cask y thziv, he refused all explAratioti, and be-
haved in a most irregular manner ; in consequence of which lie was
taken to the watch-house.—The worthy Alderman, on this occasion,
put the fellowing rote;:tions : —Alderman. Pray what are you, my
fricod ?—Prisoner. As iar as 1 can pretend to form a judgment, 1

• then in!ormed him that it was the duty of the officers to prevent the
removal of stolen goods by night, and therefore the defendant vas
expected to give a plover account of the manner by which he had ob-
tained the property. He then stated, that he had purchased one of
the pictures from Mr. Owen, successor of Mr. Macklin, in 1- icet•

OVERTURE' FOR PEACE WITH ENGLAND.

ll=

We have given this week most of the documents relative
to Russia and France, and will conclude them in our next ;
those respecting the oilers made to this country, with the
answer of our Government, be found entire in another
part of oui, columns. The conditions proposed as the basis
of the negociations were : that we should acknowledge the
present nasty in Spain, which should be declared inde-
pendent: that Naples and Sicily should remain in pos;ession
of their present respective masters, that Portugal should be
secured to the House of Ilraganza, and that both the French
and English armies should evacuate the Peninsula. The
last was the only point which NAPOLEON IViShed to secure,
and intended sincerely to carry into effect. The safe eva-
cuation of Spail, would have placed at least 9.00,000 of his
best troops at his disposal to overwhelm Russia, and having
subjugated that power, the rest of Continental Europe lay
once more defenceless at his feet..... Lord CASTL EREA OH,
to whom the application was made, saw through the thin
veil of this policy; et unwilling to repel protlered peace,
lie expressed the readiness of Government to opeh a nego-
tiation, provided, by the present dynasty of Spain, nut-
DIN AND VII. and his family should be meant, as otherwise,
our national honour was bound to form no arrangement with
France. To this moderate and dignified reply no answer
was ever sent. Indeed, it is evident, that France only
wished, if successful in her application, to secure to herself
by peace, that which she had not been able to obtain in a
stru,..;.g!e of four years continuance ; and, if unsuccessful, to
intimidate Russia by a show of neg,ociating with us at a time
when AL EX ANDra might think all hope of resistance vain
without our co•operation.

ADVANCE OF THE FRENCH TO WILNA AND LIEBAU.
Besides the Anholt mail, the substance of which will be
found in another column, accounts have been received from
Berlin and Hamburg!), which state that the French entered
Wilma on the Ist, without resistance, the Russians retreating
to the Dwina. At Wilna the enemy found every thing a
desert, the country ravaged. At I ,iebatt the same desertion,
the same solitude. Before the Rus,ians left Liebau they
threw iO,OOO barrels of grain, which they could not carry
with them into the sea. They then retired to Riga. The
Russians, it is supposed, will retire across the Dwina, and
suffer the enemy to make themselves masters of all the tract
of country, a frightful and desolate tract now, between the
Niemen and the Dwina, without resistance. It is not sup-
posed that they will make a stand until they reach Russia
Proper. The co4ry which they abandon, after having
ravaged it, is tha whit It formed part of Poland, before
the partition oe that kingdom, which IIuoNAPARrs one°
more tells the Mkt be intends to restore.

WINCHESTER ASSIZES.

John James, a youth of nioeteen, was indicted for the wilful murder
of his wharess, Elizabeth Hill, at Shaltleet, near Yarmouth, Isle of
Wight. It appeared that his master, to whom lie was apprenticed as a
shoe-maker, was gune with Ili, sou to church, on the morning of Sunday
the list of June last, leaving his wile and ihis hid at home. On their
return, in company with a neighbour, they discovered Mrs. Hill lying
on the kitchen floor, with three deep wounds inflicted with a hatchet
on her head and face, and her throat cut across. On interrogating the
boy, who was deliberately walking before the house, he very calmly
cnnle,sed the foul deed. Ile stood at the bar. during the whole of the
trial, with his eyes bent on the ground, in a kind of melancholic apathy.
He viewed the dreadful instruments produced in Court with unaltered
aspect; he heard the awful sentence with indifference, and retired
without ha, mg uttered a word, beyond a refusal to say any thing. He
th,clares that he entertains no sorrow for the action ; for had any one
else come in his way, he should have done the same thing. llis mis-
tress, he say s, was always too good to him. He feels no terror at his
aoaroaching fate, but expresses himself truly happy and content to die.
When strongly interrogated as to the probable motive of his conduct.
he referred the inquirers, without comment, to the 3d cha;:ter of Job.
He appeals an enthusiast of the Methodist persuasion. The Judge
(Sir ALAN Cn BR L) commented with much feeling on the dangerous
effects of vulgar and literal conceptions uf scriptural passages.

to continue at peace.

A most interesting spectacle now presents itself to our
view in the North. We see BUONAPARTE about to start
from that spot, were, after some months of war, he formerly
closed a 'splendidly victorious career. We see him aided
hy the Poles, urged to war by the nvist rancorous aLimosity
which human nature, goaded to madness by oppression, can
feel. These men, who rationaVy could only hope a "
va-
riety of pain," from a change of masters, pant with ardour
to destroy their former Rules, while they view their present
tyrants as protecting fi icnds.

In addition to these, Austria and Prussia appear, dragged
forward by his threats, or allured by his promises, to hope
some indemnity for their losses will be granted them out of
what be may gain from Russia. These vassals, following to
catch what he may disregard, like dogs, that watch for the
crumbs which fall from their master's table, come for •
ward, agitated by feelings, which it were no easy task to
describe. We see opposed to them, the whole force of
a mighty empire, brought forward, not as an auxiliary,
to fight by virtue of a negotiation, or to earn a subsidy,
but to contend for its very existence. Sweden, arming
for the combat, is about to send forth her warriors under
the command of a Chieftain, who, having greatly contributed
to the elevation of 13VONAPARTE, is on the point of attempt-
ing to destroy the stupendous fabric be has raised. He can
be regarded by his former master as no common enemy.
BERNADOTTE, in th• event of meeting with a reverse,
can hope nothing from the forbearance of the tyrant,
and he has, therefore, no alternative but victory or death.
