THE KING V. GEORGE MANNERS.

This Defendant was brought up for judgment, for the libel in
The Satirist, against Mr. Hallet. He personally addressed the
Court in mitigation of punishment. If the libel were to be con.
sidered by itself, unconnected with the general nature of the
publication in which it appeared, he should admit that it would
merit the severest punishment : but he disclaimed all personal
Motives; and had not Mr. Hallett become the patron of Miss
Taylor, and the abettor of one of the foulest libellers that ever
lived, no conduct of his should have been noticed by the De-
fendant. He did not urge Mr. Hallett's ill, conduct in justifica-
thin of his own : hut the Court would consider the quo anima
with which the libel was written; and to form a judment of
this, what he stated would be material.
Lord ELL.eNaottouGit cautioNcd the Defendant before hand
against enhancing the libel, or increasing the quantity of slander
of which he had been found guiity.

The I )efeadant was anxious to assure the Conrt,thut his connec-
tion with the periodical press of the country was not so great as
had been supposed. He was certiAnly the Editor of Tire Satirist ;
but at the same time numerous articles appeared in that publi-
cation without his knowledie. His superntendence was very
limitted, and he did not visa the dike \ here it was printed
above two or three times in the month. it had been proved at
his trial, that 4.1 the first libel, only th:: head " Hailet's Hu-
manity," WAS in the hand-writing of the Defendant ; and the
fact was, that the article was received by the publisher by the
general. post. Before he published it, the Defendant used every
exertion to ascertain the truth of it ; he went to the King's
Bench, where he found a woman in the state which the libel de-
scribed, Mil assured him that every word of it was true.
Mr. PA K, for the Prosecutor, objected to this, it not being
sworn by affidavit.
The Defendant meant merely to state, that though his feelings
were inter. stud for the suffering female, he was actuated by no
malice towards Mr. Hallett. The Defendant then wished to
refir to au authority, which he observed Mr. 1.1. ought to be
the last awn to question ;

company with the Rattler. They were met with
on the morning of the same day on which they en-
tered port by the Vesta sloop of war, bound to Eng-
land; which ship arrived about ten days ago, and
was the bearer of the first tidings of the affair :
consequently Government was in possession of the
principal facts a short time before the slightest in-
timation of them reached ,the public. As soon as
the Little Belt arrived at Halifax, a Court of In-
quiry was held upon Captain BING TAM) and his
Officers underwent a strict examination, and con-
curred in• all the material facts, such as they are
said to appear in the Nova Scotia Gazette : the
principal of which were, as before well known, that
the President fired the first broadside, and that the
Little. Belt never struck her colours, although en-
gaged with a vessel of such superior force. This
is a circumstance particularly grateful to British
feeling, and one that has excited the admiration of
the Americans themselves.
The 'Little Belt lost 11 men killed, and 21
wounded. It was generally rumoured, that about
12 of the latter had died of their wounds ; but we
believe the following extract of a letter, from a
'Gentleman belonging to the Naval Hospital esta-
blished at Halifax, will be found accurate upon this
head :

" Naval Hospital, Halifax, May 29.

44 I. suppose the business between the Little Belt
and the American frigate President will make a
great noise in England. I send you a pretty cor-
rect account of the piratical transaction; in addition
to which I have only to state, that one man has
died at the Hospital since ; we have two others
with amputated legs, and another that can never
serve again. The Master is also badly wounded,
but I hope there may be a chance of saving his
arm. This has been one of the best fought actions
on record ; the Little Belt has 18 guns (carronades);
the President, 30 long twenty-four pounders on her
gun-deck, and 21 forty-two pounders (carronades)
on hir quarter-deck and forecastle."

Monday, a Court of Aldermen was held at Guildhall, for the

ing Sheriffs, Chamberlain, and other city officers, according t.)
ancient custom, when Aldermen Birch, Magnay, and Bridges,

tte bheritls dbclared Richard Sanderson, Esq. citizen and coop-
er, and William Heygate, Esq. citizen and merchant tailor, to
be duly elected ; but a poll being demanded in favour of Mr.

WATERS V. TAYOR.

The LORD CHANCELLOR pronounced his final judgment thil
day upon the merits of this complicated motion, •and said, he
fully consPered the explanatory affidavits filed on behalf of Mr.
Taylor., respecting the application of the revenues of the theatre
within the years specified in the proceedings, and • telt satisfied
that considerable sums remained unexplained and unaccounted
fur, which the order now framed by his Lordship directs to be
speedily paid in by the defendant.
Mr. Hart, on behalf of Mr. Waters, the plaintiff, rose and
suggested the necessity of an early day being appointed for the
payment, at certain payments. The clear right of Mr. Waters
were shortly to accrue due, which might be effected by the day
of payment by the defendant of the sums in arrear.
His Lordship replied, that all such circumstances should be
provided tor in the order which should be delivered out te the
parties.—Judgrnerit for the plaintiff. •

FRENCH PAPERS.

BONAPARTE'S SPEECH TO THE FRENCH MERCHANTS.
Most of our readers have heard of a speech made by Bona-
parte to some Merchants, assembled in a Council of Commerce.
Several versions of that speech have been given. The following
is said to be an accurate translation of the report of it, taken by
one of the Merchants present :
" I have deliberately weighed my resources with those of
England, my situation with her's, and.the balance was decidedly
hi my favour, I have offered her peace upon honourable condi-
tions : I have gone so far as even to offer to give up Holland.
She was not at all disposed to listen, and I have proved to her
that though I menaced her with total ruin, I should advance
nothing which I could not put in execution. I have the means
of equipping many fleets, and of repairing the losses and checks
ecliec:) they might experience. It was not with ambitious
views that I have united all the coasts of the North with France,
I owed it to the system of blsckade which I have established by
my Decrees of Berlin, and which I desire to have obssrved with
the most-strict severity. See me then master of all the coasts
of the Baltic (it appeared that there was a little mermur, which
led him to understand that there was something in this phrase to
altur; but he immediately proceeded.) Yes, Sirs, I am, and
always will he master of the Baltic. *Ube. Emperor of Russia
hzs not indeed as yet caused my Decrees to be observed in his
ports, bu' he will ere six mon±s, or I declare war against him.
Since Tilsit, what p,evented my march to Petersburgh ? That
which I did not do I can do yet. The struggle with
England is distressing. I know it—but the i=sue cannot be
doubt:ill. My resources are real, they are from territorial
revenues, and those of my enemy rest only on credit, and of
course as illusory as the feeble basis of commercial operations
on which they are founded. I have now in my coffers 200 mil-
lions (he repeated, stamping with his feet), 200 millions,
which shall he better employed than in purchasing sugar 'and
coffee and cocoa—they shall serve to sap the power of those who
I ave there only for the representatives of power. lam not ig-
norant that in pursuing my system with vigour, many fortunes
will be ruined : but they will be those wily who have been so
imprudent as to make speculations beyond th At- means, or have
chosen to become the Bankers and Agents of England. Sons of
Martin, sons of Andre here present! you furnish an example.
All those who follow the same course, will have the same loss.
If I was King of Bourdeaux or of Marseilles, or indeed of
Holland, I should act probably as others have done, but I
am at the bead of a great Empire, and of a numerous popu-
lation, and it is not for rue to sacrifice the general good to
sei ye a few towns. .

" :111 Europe has been too long tributary to England—her
monopoly shorld be destroyed, and it skill be by me. If I was
only Look XI V. she might yet a long time contemn the force
of Frat,ce ; hut I have many more means than ear greatest of
her Ocs) Kings, and all shall be employed to effect her fall."

cipled invaders.

Such would be the consequences of SouLT's de-
feat in a new encounter with our army. From his
movements it is impossible to doubt but this fateful
encounter will soon, or has already taken place.
From the skill of our Commander, the zeal and
bravery of our troops, and the cordial co-opera-
tion of the Spaniards, lately displayed on the fields
of Albuera, we can feel no hesitation in encourag-
ing the confident lope, or rather expectation, that
SOULT will be defeated, and that in consequence,
the independence 'of the Peninsula will be re-con-
quered, perhaps, under the very walls of Badajos.

Letters of the 14th of May, from Alicant, state
the arrival at that place of the Merope sloop of
war, Captain FL N, with two transports, laden
with bales of clothing, great coats, and 10,000
stand of arms, besides three millions of rcals fur
Don JUAN MA UT! N ( the Ervccinado.)
In the expectation of another attempt on the part
of the French to relieve Badajos, the following cal-
culations of the relative force of the opposing at mies
are made.

From the ofEcial accounts of the enemy, which
have been intercepted, it arrars, that at the 14attle
of Albuera Sour;r had 28,000 men. Of these 9000
we, e put hors de combat :

There remain therefore . . .
To which are to be added, tinder Sehastiani
Under Droutt, remains of the 9th corps
Three biatalions from Ci:diz .

Total probable amount

The amount of the force under Marshal BmiEs-
ronn, at the battle of Albucra did not e-..( c•cd '25,000
men, of which 16,000 were British and Portuguese,
and 9,000 Spaniards.
On the present amount of the Allied forces, it is
not at this time easy to form an accurate estimation.
They have indeed been obliged to occupy so many
points at once, and there have been of late so many
movements, that we cannot be very correctly ac-
quainted with their actual distribution. But we
should imagine that at the utmost the British and
Portuguese under Lord WELLINGTON) do not ex-
ceed 28,000, of which 17 or 18,000 are British ; be-
side NV/jell it is probable there are about 8,000
Spaniards.

The French army of Portugal, under MATtmoNT,
does not amount to more than 24,000 men ; in
June, 1810 (one year ago,) this army, accoriling to
official intercepted returns, was a follows:

DEFEAT OF 'THE Fri..ENCH.

The report of a second engagement having
taken place in the neighbourhood of Badajos, is
again revived, founded on accounts brought by a
transport, which reached Plymouth on Thursday
from the Tagus". This action is said to have taken
place at Usagre, and like the former one, was
chiefly contest:A by the enemy's cavalry, and the
Brittish under the command of General LU!ILEY.
TheteneMy are reported to have been entirely de-
feated—a 'squadron of their Polish lancers were to
a man cut down, our troops for a time having di-
rected their chief fury against that corps, with a
elete.rmination to give them no quarter.

RUSSIA AND FRANCE.

The letters brought, by the Anhat Mail renew
the report of approaching.hostilitie3 between Russia
And France, and even state, in positive terms, that
a rupture between these two Powers will shortly
take place. • If, hOwever, this were the case, the
RUssians would not coop up 10,000 men in a small
island in the Baltic, 'as the following letters inform
tiffs they have; but' would direct the whole bulk of
. .
their forte against Poland, in order to protect their

A Dispatch of which the ITowing is a Copy, was this morning
received at Lord Liverpool's sst.ti to his Lordship
by Lieutenant-Gi iieral Lord VissAniiit date 4
Quinta de Granicha, 6th Jute, 1811.

M Y 1.0 R D— vVe haTe continued the operations of the siege of
Bad;tjoz wi:h the utmost activity, since l addressed your 1,011.,
ship 4,n the Co:h a:(1 our lire commenced on tl:e morn-
ing of the ‘2d instant I:.ont four batteries on the right of the Gua-
diana, directed against the outwork of St. Christoval, and on the
enemy's batteries in the castle constructed to su;port that out-
work : and front two batt • .es on the left of the Guadiana, di-
rected against the eastern face of the Castle.
The fire from these batteries has contmued ever since., and a
breach has been made in the outworks of St. Chriqoval, which,
however, is not yet practicable fcf assault ; and considerable pro-
gress has been made in effectingbreach on the eastern front of
the Castle.

Notwithstanding that these works have been carried on with
great rapidity, I am happy to sly that they are themselves so com-
plete, and the communic-tion from one to the other so well
assured, that our loss hitherto throughout, the siege has been very
small. lam sorry to say that Lieutenant Hawker, of the Royal
Artillery, an officer who has distinguished itirnsta in these ope-
rations, was killed this morning.
The enemy have hitherto made no movement to disturb our
Operations ; but I understand that three battalions were moved
from the blockade of Cadiz in the last days of May; and I have
received a rf port, that the battalions of the 9th Corps, destined
to reinforce the army of the south, were to arrive at Cordova on
the sth or 6th of this month.
The army of Portug4 likewise broke up from the Tormes on
the 3d instant, and their first march was in the direction of the
passage of the Tagus.
I have received a letter from Mr. Wellesley, of the Ist instant,
from which I learn that Gen. Suchet had invested Tarragona.

OLD BAILEY.

TucKrlav, Francisco Fernateler.;, a Spanish sailor, was tried oil
Fn indictmi:nt chargin:, ?;:in with cutting and maiming John
Cleare, with int;:nt to kill or tin him some bodily harm, on the
i!titli of May, in the parish of Ikrapping.

ret,,a nod until the day specified in the indictment, wit. n it was
drti-rtnined to send him on board an Indianian lying at Graves-
,er.O, along with several Lascars. On his way thither, however,
he escaped, and returned to the Asylum, where he was seen by
the Prosecutor, Cleare, who was a servant in the house, and on
whose approach to ascertain the cause of his return, he drew
forth a knife, and stabbed him in tine arm and thigh, and then
ran off. These facts being distinctly proved, the prisoner was
found guilty.
The same prisoner was then tried on a second indictment,
cbarging him with the commission of a similar offence on the
person of Richard Day, another servant in the A for
Fascars, who went to apprehend him at the Kettle Drum
Public-house, Denmark-street, Wapping, for the crime already
mentioned; in attempting to do which the prisoner stabbed
him in the belly. Of this offence he was also found guilty

who will previously assemble them in three divisions, and in
that order march them to the ground in connected Bodies or
Brigades.

His Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT will be on the
ground at eleven in the morning precisely. It is therefore ne-
cessary that the several corps and brigades shall arrive on the
Common (marching by the most convenient route) so as to
stand assembled in close column of companies, in and behind
the right of their own ground, at nine o'clock in the morning,
ready at the moment, when or !erect to deploy into line. They
will be conducted by the Officers, who will have had their
respective positions in line, given to them by Officers of the
Quarter-Mater-General's Department.

In this manner the right company or division of each corps
will stand on its proper ground which it is to occupy in the
line, and the others be in close column behind it ; and each
corps will, fir this purpose, march with its right in front.
From this situation the general line will be oAered to be
formed by deploying to the left. '!'here will be an interval of
five paces between each corps, great or small, and each will be
formed at close files according to His Majesty's regulations,
twenty-two inches being allowed for each Gle : the ranks will
then be (vetted, and the Officers advanced in front.
. Such corps as have guns will be allowed sufficient ground
for them on the right of each, in addition to the interval of five
paces.

On- the firing of Olefin!' signal pin, to notify his Royal High-
ness the Prince Revitt:s approach, the whole will stand shoul-
dered
in perfect order, and the guns of the Royal Artillery, and
- -

each a Royal Salute of 21, guns.

When his Royal Highness arriyei at a given.central point in

mand of its Como:lauding, °Meer) will pre:welt aznt.i Offifelit

a Proctor's hill in the Island of Malta, which he said measured
six fathoms and a quarter, and contained many curious charges.
The Proctor, his Lordship said, acted in the double capacity
of Proctor and Marshal; and in the former capacity fees himself
for consulting and instructing himself as Counsel, Jury, and
Judge, which he himself represents in the character of Marshal,
so that all those tees are for himself in the one character, to the
same himsclf in the other. He then read several of- the fees,
which run thus—for attending the Marshal (himself) 2 crowns,
scudi, and 2 realf ; and so on, in several other capacities in
which he attended, consulted and instructed himself, were
charged several fees to the same amount. Another instance v.: •
that in which 13 small vessels, taken by the gallant Captain
Brenton, who lately lost his arm in the service, were brought
into the Vice-Admiralty Court for condemnation: the charge
made for doing that act (which must be done before the prizes
could he sold) was 3767 crowns; but on a severe remonstrance
from Captain Brenton, the Judge deducted 3504 crowns, and
was glad to accept 2Q3 crowns, instead of 3767, rather than have
a noise made about it in England! ! Lord Cochrane also
stated, that a Mr. Chapman, now residing in this country,
enjoyed a sinecure place of 72C01. a year as Deputy Marshal of
the Vice-Admiralty Court at Malta. His Lordship con-
cluded with moving for papers, which after a few words
from Mr. Yorke, Sir John Nichol, and Mr. Lyttleton, were
granted.

VAUXHALL GARDENS.

This fascinating place of atnusem,lnt opened for the season on
Monday last. The natural beauties of the gardens have been
more than ever improved by the exertions of art, and more than
ever adorned by a display of genius. The fire-works were sin-
gularly splendid and ingenious, and too much cannot be said in
praise of the whole arrangements. It affords us much u.tisfac-
tion to be able to state, that the liberality of the Proprietors
has already been rewarded by public munificence, and the bril-
liant assemblage which graced its opening, seemed to promise
an unusually successful season. .

The following statement, amongst many others, was on
Tuesday reported to the Committee at the City of London Ta-
vern, for the Relief of the suffering Portuguese : it is the sub-
stance of an official document transmitted from Lisbon, of the
horrid devastations and cruelties committed by the enemy, in
their retreat through the district of Arganii, which alone suf-
fered in coin, wine, oil, cattle, and other necessaries of life, to
the amount of 140,595 mitreas, between 30 and 40,0001.; their
churches were destroyed, their houses burnt, men, women, and
children killed, without respect to age or sex. Nearly 100 young
women were violated, and many carried off by these barbarians.
In the document alluded to every particular is minutely de-
scribed ; and we feel the greatest satisfaction in assuring the
public, that our brave troops no sooner broke the enemy from
several places, but particularly from Fuentes de Honor, than
they immediately contributed, not only in a pecuniary way, by
appropriating part of their pay, bat even slivitted
,their provi-
sions with, the miserable inhabitants ivbo remained.
