COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, SATURDAY, APRIL 30..

MARIUS V. HARVEY.
Mr. fierjeant Blosset was about to apply to the Court for a new
trial in this case, when Mr. Justice Heath interruptel him and said,
this was an action of trespass tried before him at the Norfolk As-
sizes, in which the damages were laid at 5001. ; and the Jury gave,
and he considered most jnAly gave, the full amount of damages
laid. The plaintiff was a most respectable gentleman, and was
sporting on Lis own grounds, when the defendant, accompanied by
another person, came driving up in a sporting gig, v. ith his dogs
aim gun, and said he would join in the sport. Mr. Mania, how.
ever, requested to decline the honour of his company ; this,
ever,_ was a request the defendant would not comply with; be said
he could not be warned off; he was a Member of Parliament and
Justice of the Peace, and could sport any where. He then began
to ke, apparently with no other intent than to disturb the gamc ;
and having consumed all his own anminition, he most impudently
desired the plaintiff to give him more; and thus continued, as long
as he thought proper, to interrupt and annoy the plaintiff, who be-
haved all the trine with a moderation and temper almost unchain.

TO THE EMPEROR OF ALL TIM RUSSIAS.

gg StnE—The documents which your Majesty has received from
the banks of the Rhine have justified me from the odious calumity
which has pressed upon me for three years. There are details which
vour Majesty cannot be informed of. I owe it to the confidence
you conde,cend to honour me with to lay them before you. They
will convince you how much a stranger I was to,the arrest of the
Duke d'Emzhien.

" Sent by the First Consul to Strasburg!) almost at the same time
with General Ordener, the public confounded our mission. That
General was ordered to repair to Ettenheim, to carry off the Duke
D'Enzhein. The order and the papers I submit th your Majest)
will prove that my mission was different from his, and that conse-
quently I had no concern in this unhappy affair.—l am, Sire,
your Imperial Majesty's, &c.
(Signed) bAULAINCOURT."

REPLY OF THE EMPEROR ALEXANDER.

" General, I know from my Ministers in Germany how much a
stranger you were to the horrible affair in question. The papers you
have commimicated to me could not add to that conviction. I take•
pleasure in a,suring you of the esteem I bear you.
" Peterlitirg,h, April 4, 1306" " ALEXANDER."
The statement made by Caulaincourt, however successful
he might be in imposing on the Emperor of. Russia in the
Tear 1808, we have no hesitation in saying we believe to be
wholly unfounded in truth. In our paper of the 17th of the
month we have just closed, we gave some particulars of this
melancholy story, which were not generally known. That in-
formation we have the strongest reason to believe is perfectly
correct. The servants of the Duke D'Enghein, who came
to England after the death of their master, positively declare
they saw Caulaincourt, whose person they knew very well, at
Ettenheim ; and as positively do they assert that he it was
who arrested the unfortunate Prince. They were nest likely
to be mistaken with respect to his person, as be was well
known in the family of the Prince of Conde, where he had
been brought up as a page.
We can further state, that the celebrated Mehee, with
whom Caulaincourt, in tl►e instructions given by Buonaparte,
was directed to commut:icate with at Strasburgh, was at that
time in Paris. This appears from tl►e book which he (Mehee)
himself published in 1804. The instrument, therefore,
which Caulaincourt ha; published, purporting to be
" instructions,'' proves nothing.—lt is " all a lie," and en-
titled to no more consideration or respect tl.an the despicable
fabrication which (produced in May, 1812) it was pretended
had been issued to repeal the Berlin and Milan Decrees in
April, 1611.

As your pages have been f equently dev,ited with effect to
the investigation of subjects which intimately concern the
public welfare, I trust this, now under review, will not be !,
undeseiving of insertion. That 50.000 fern les, living in

magnitude, will be generally admitted : that it is not only
highly prtiudicial to the morals and habits of ihe rising ge.
neratinn in general, but its injuricus effects to the health of;
the community are so extensive as hardy to be ascertained;
defeating the great end of the connexion of the sexes, pro- I
creation ; tha: it is also one of the greatest incentives to theft,
public and domestic, and.to every species of fraud. With
such a mass of evil in view, how few and inadequate have
been the attempts to diminish or remove it ! how super fi ial

ACCIDENTS AND OFFENCES.

EXTRAORDINARY Dtscoviuv.—lnformation had been for some
tune received, that it was in the conteniplation of a gang el thieves to
break open and rub the General Post Office, and to carry off the coR•
rents of the iron chest, in the Receiver-Ueneral's Office, which ire.
Trendy contained Bank of England and other notes to the amovist of
from 11,11001. to imool. Lavender and Vickery, those highly meri-
torious otkers of the Police, di•coverei the plAu to exist heyond a
doubt ; but, notwithstacidingt, the Officers ut the Post Office treated
the plan us impracticable, eard even chimerical, every door, place,
and lock being deemed so thoroughly secure, the lucks being the best
that could be made, particularly tlw lock in the Receiver General's
Office ; however, there is no doubt but (with the watchfulness and di.
ligence of those entrusted with the cars of the Post Office, and the
boated security of the locks) that it has been entered, and several
locks, and even that of the iron chest uponed, the contents examined,
but nothing taken out, the booty not being deemed setPciently large
to take awi.y ; this was all done without the least suspicion or disco.
very by the Office:s of the Post Office. Thursday was the day ap-
pointed to conviuce Mr. Freeling, the Secretary, and Mr. Parkin, the
Solicitor, and other Gentlemen belonging I. the Post Office, of the
possibility, as well as the. practibility, of passing all the locks, includ-
ing the iron chest, without using any violence. Lavender and Vic-
kery attended et the Office tot that purpose. and having discovered
the gang of thieves who were to have effected the robbery in a quiet
manner, they produced the implements that were to have effected the
purpose, which they had procured after great exertion and perseve-
rance. The doors being all locked in the most secure manner possible,
by and in the presence of the principal Officers belonging to the Post
Office, Lavender and Vickery produced a master key which passed all
the lacks leading to the place where the iron chest is deposited, in the
Receiver General's office, with the greatest possible ease, and they
produced another Ley which opened the lock of the iron chest with-
out any tioi-e or difficulty ; this was thought most extraordinary, as
the key of the chest i 4 never out of the possession of the person villa
has the care of it, and who is accountable far its vultures, and thus
the Police officers gave proof positive of what was in cooteniphoen
to be done, and for which the public are highly indebted to (John tor
their eiunient services in preventing a great national robbery.

Mr. KEMBLE in the elZiraeter from which that play i yes its

With respect to the tragedy itself, little need now be said. it
is justly considered as a dramatic poem, ali:tiding in the most
molendid beauties of imagery, of semi:Kent, and of verse : but
those beauties are of ton didactic a nature to rend T it a perina-
trent attraction on the stage. By the admirer of poetry in the
closet it must ever be ranked highly,—bur the dramatic situations,
incidents, and variety of action, are too few for frequent ther—
lea! exhibilon. Under particular circumstaeces, however, as
on the evening itt question, this tragedy will ever prove a
treat to the amateur —To describe the acting of I‘lr.litntnt.x.
in this character. would be but to pour forth a long strain of culo-
gimn —to give a quotation of every line of the pail, and to say,
" this line was spoken with all the chasteness, with all the energy,
and with all the truth (one trivial circumstance which I consider
a fault, alone excepted,) which it was possible for it to receive
from man :"—To describe every gesture and every look,—and to
add, a such gesture, and such look, were the very best which
could be adopted to each particular occasion."
I am by no means one of those, who consider Mr. KEMBLE as
equally great in all his range of characters ; his judgment is indeed
equal ; but his physical powers are not capable of embodying every
part with the same degree of corpnral and mental excellence:—
Where he is deficient, however, it is to be chiefly attributed to
that vocal debility ‘fliirdi was always sn apparent in his moidian
eplendour, and which, as must naturally be expected, rather. in-
ereAses as he advances towards the horizon of his public career.
Though this debility somewhat impedes the full exercise of his time-
. lions in such long and arduous chsractors a: tiamltt, Macbeth, or
Rickard, it in no respect diminishes the justness of his scenic re-
presentation of Coto ; as the length of this part is not such as to
revent his giving every line of the text with soffit lent energy

FRENCH PAPERS.

These Papers, which come down to the 94th inst. are of
great importance, as they give us a pretty correct idea of
Buonapartte's situation. It is evident to every man, who has
attentively followed the course of the revolution, from its
origin to the present moment, that the Fiench character has
lost its energy, and that the advance of the Allied Armies in
the heart of France has not produced the same effect as the
invasion of the Duke of Brunswick in 1792. We see con-
siderab!e towns, such as Dole, Macon, &c. opening their
gates to small detachments of 900, and even of 50 men ; and
in order to conceal the true reason of the facility with
which these places have been occupied, Napoleon lays
the blame on their Mayors, who failed to break down
the bridgcs. Unable to disguise the fact of General Guilay's
arrrival at Langres, he says,—that in consequence of gene-
',awl arrangements, Marshal Viortier has quitted that town
to take post at Chaumont r—Compelled to acknowledge that
the Allies are within thtee leagues of Lyons, he adds, with a
striking felicity of invention, that the inhabitants of that city
have dicplayed muci ardour and patriotism. Nevertheless, he
owns that they have sent goods to the value of a hundred
millions of franks 40 the mountainf ; and as this might too
elearly show that Lyons is totally unprovided with any means
of defence, he hastens to assure his people, that Marshal An-
gereau approaches to its succour with troops of t/eeline : but
he .forgets to state, that this Commander is obliged, for this
purpo,e, to abandon Dauphine, whet e, according to the
I\lniteur's own account, the inhabitants have not displayed
much ardour, as it merely says, " the Departments of the
Drone, which had not at first shown much zeal, begins to
jeititselfin motion."

_
W hen Napoleon flattered himself with the idea that the sin-
gle word " invasion," would cause the French to rise en7nasse,
he allowed that the army of .Prince Schwartze.nberg• might
amount to 160,000 men. .though it really consisted of
'')0,000. But since he has perceived no signs of popular
enthusiasm he has !educed that army to 100,000. To gain
credit for this new statement, he continually repeats, that

GENERAL BANKRUPTCY IN FRANCE.

The plunder of the world is exhausted. France, which
the devastation of other lands had so unjustly enriched,

Las now disgorged her blood-stained wealth. Her riches
have followed her glory. They have both been sacrificed
to tho insatiable ambition of her Ruler. Spoiled by lie-
tory and sporting with his fortunes, he went to seek defeat':
and ruin amidst the wilds of Russia, and planted them in
the bosom of his empire. The loss of armies caused him
no alarm, as long as the population of half a world stood

ready- to supply DCW victims. But now that every na-

tion is his foe ; now that his territory is Invaded, and
whole provinces are thus rendered unproductive of men
and taxes : now that, crut of 70 millions, whom he lately
governed by his influence; he can scarcely call 24 his
subjects, and these mostly -old men, women, and children,
unable to bear the fatigues of war : an evil of equal mag-
nituae, has overtaken him, the total want of money to
pay and support the levies which his last efforts have
been able to collect. Should he therefore have even suc-

ceeded, by forcing all ages and professions to the field, in
assembling a force equal to that by which he is threatened,

of their common oppressor. But what establishes the fact
of the fabrication of this story by Napoleon, is the letter
which the pretended Duke del S'an Carlos, is said to have
obtained from Ferdinand VII. in which this Prince is made
to declare, " That 1w considers the transaction at Bayonne
as the only one which could .secure his family against the
convulsions which threatened the ruin of Spain ; that he
enjoyed perfect liberty at Valency, and the gtatitication of
ail his tastes and wishes was carefully attended to byNapo•
lean." These tales are propagated in order to create dis-
union between us and the. Spaniards, and to contaminate the
Spanish prisoners in France, whose number is become a
source of alarm.to the tottering Usurper in his present des-
perate situation.

The account of an officer having been sent by the Crown
Prince to Suchct, and perhaps to 30u1t," on an important
mission, though given yesterday in the most serious manner
by an eveniog print, is -trot entitled to more credit. Lord
Wellington had first been mentioned as the Commander to
whom the negotiator was addressed. This was deemed ab-
surd, and the author of the report unwilling to see his bant-
hng stilled by public unbelief, endeavoured to revive its
credi:, I4y changing the destination and object of this mis-
sinn. The officer was immediately snatched away from St.
Jean de Luz, and transported to the head quarters of Suctiet
in Catalonia, from whence a " perhaps" carried him back to
Bayonne. Such unskilful fabricati.ms, like the eard-house
erected by children, fall at a single touch.

Bank, which he had so often represented as sacred, and in
consequence of the secret advances which that establish-

and to enable him to prepare for the opening of the present,
a measure has been adopted by its Governors and share-
holders, which may be considered as a composition wit!'
their creditors, if not as a direct bankruptcy. Its payments
have been limited to a sum of about 20,0001. sterling
in specie a day, and no one can have a bill exchanged
without procuring an order from the Mayor of his arron-
dissement. Such orders will only be, given to the agents
of the Emperor, who thus will become possessed of all
that remains in the Bank, without incurring the odium of
a public seizure. This supply, however, cannot be of
long duration, and the first effect of this arrangement

" Mr. SeF..t K E -I was anxious to be permitted to atteud this House,

they followed up the gracious favour of his Royal I-lighuess the Vrince

This must certainly be the construction, though nothing is
expressed to this effect.
We fear, however, that the error into which the friends of

We are certainly not amongst the number of those who would
put the country to unnecessary expense, or who are inclined
to seduce the people from their useful callings and. busi-
ne-se,, but we reaPy deem the present glorious peace a sub-
ject of too sincere.: congratulation to deny either the Govern-
ment or People the festival of our signal triumphs. The
sympathy " The Times" and " The Chronicle" upon
this occasion is truly amusing, and, of course, intended to
gratify, their respective readers—that is, the ceconomy of the
East, and the factious spit it of the West End of the Town.

The reports of misunderstandings between some of the Al-
lied Powers on points of territorial arrangement, which,
at the beginning of the week, were circulated with much in-
tereit, are among the evanescent topics of the day ; and, in-
deed, a little con,ideration would have shewn their ab-
surdity at once. The establishment of Poland into a king-
dom utlder the presumptive Heir to the Empire of Russia
itself, is as contrary to the policy of the Russian Cabinet
as it would be obnoxious to Austria and Prussia. For
our part, we must continue to augur well of a- system
which begins with restoring Kosckiusko to his native country,
a measure of policy which may greatly tend to reconcile the
people to the intended changes, and, as he is a man of pri-
vate worth, 'we should hope he is selected as the precursor
of better treatment for that unhappy country.
The rumour of a new convention between the Allied
Powers states a general change in the positions now occupied
by their respective troops :—The provinces between the
North Sea and the Meuse will be provisionally occupied by
British and Dutch troops—the provinces between the Meuse
and the Moselle by PrUssian troops—and between the• Mo-
selle and the Rhine by Bavarians and Austrians.—The object
of these changes it is impossible for us to penetrate, unless
it should be connected with the line of country that. may ul-
timately devolve to their respective Governments.

POLL FICA I, DIS.IUISITION.

T;TE SLAVE TRADE AND SPANISH INQUISITION.

There are some facts so derogatory to the dignity of his-
tory, and which the justice of mankind has so properly re-
probated, that it is almost like a participation in ,the system
of witieh cruelty and oppression are the elementary compo-
nents, to speak or breathe of them. But, since it has pleased
Providence to veil the objects of the past and the future from
our view, we can do little more than make up our judg-
ment from what we see and know of the effects which certain
principles have produced upon the happiness and liberty of
the world; unless, indeed, liberty and happiness are negative

of moral responsibility—th-e mere inventions of schoolmen ;
the metaphysical ; veries of those sacred mystics, who would
induce us to believe this nature of ours organized for more
wise and beneficent purposes than the savage destruction of
one another. This reasoning is, however, too hypothetical
for the received notions of mank;nd, will are content to call
things by proper names, and to e,teetn or reject them as
favoutalde or inimical to the happiness of one another.
Bence if the most ignorant were asked to define slavery,
they would annex to it all that was most odious to the in•
dependence and freedom of Euglish.nen ; they would not
sand still, and ask for a refined definition of subtle dis-
tinctions between black and white, of views of policy or mo-
tives of interest; they would brand the cause on the ques-

tion being put, with the sympathy and indignation of a brave
people. Where then all men are agreed upon a position, it is
the office of casuistry only to find fault, and whether it be the
cause of the poor African or of the Russian self, emancipa-
tion has !he same materials to work upon for tale benefit of
mankind. Bo t who will say that we should not coalesce with

Russia because sloe continues to traffic in exchanges of this na-

ture, or should dictate to France because we have contributed
to restore her to her rank amongst the nations of Europe ?
The French Government may agree as cordially with us, as
the Chronicle seems to insinuate, but it is placed in different
circumstances altorzether. Great Britain abounds with 'ex-
perimentalists of great property, and all that she wills she is
enabled to execute. France has no resource of cultivation or
improvement but what she may derive from the purchase of
negroes. ft is therefore no boon to give her up islands
which we refuse her the means of cultivating, or expect that
