GREAT PUGILISTIC MATCH FOR THREE

HUADIieD GUI.VRAS ASIDE.

in coovequence of the disappointment the Faacy met with
on the bailie being Nfr be 'lvry,' Burn and Spring, the fur.
mer is now matched fur the shove mini against Oliver, to
meet the 20th of April, and the stakes are to be made good
ou Monday next, at Flanklin's, in Lower Grosvenor-street.
Oliver is the favourite, in consequence of having defeated
Shelton, wbu conquered Burn trice. A gallant contest is
expected.

The Cosstiirtionel gives the following picture of
the state Of !mimes et prepent in Paris:—
. . .

" There are no pert of atrocious projects which the faction,
hostile to France and the Throne, have out conceived.—
Threatening placards have been affixed at night to a great
number of houses; mud lists of proscription, is which aft
included generals and manufacturers, artists, officers. sad
men of letters, have been freely dispersed. In the Ultra
Conventicle% they only demand twenty thousand heads; in
the others they limit theinsilves In three hundred heads, sad
cry out for the banishment of fifteen thousand. Another
puss has !wen proposed—they wished to contrive fur Louvel
the means of strangling himself, to cast, afterwards, woe
at their ease, his crime upon tht whole of France, sad accuse
with his death shove accomplices which they desire absolute-
ly to give him. 'I hen all the barriers would have been closed,
all the intended victims would have been laid bold of,
the charier would have been abolished, the old minus re-
established, all the cunstiiutimial presses would have
been broken, and they would have proclaimed that the
Monarchy was saved. Such are the horrible ideas enter-
tained by certain- !moic men, who talk incessxistly of reh-
eats's and hunt mity ! The wisdom of star Monarch, the im.
posing at titisele of the capital, the indignation of all France
will take justice upon those ihmiunises, who resort to all
crimes upon those pretended Ruyslists who insolently give
their orders to the King, and do not respect even his grief."
Letters from Gibraltar, dated the sth February,
state, that since the toccupstion of A lgesiras by the
Constitutional army, the port lies been declared un.
der bluckade by the Spanish Government, and

had. in comequeoce, appointed the Meeting. Her-

at once proceed to read the Address, without enu-
neeratiug to them any of those many private and
public viruses for which his late Majesty was so
famed, and with which tl.ey were all, no doubt,
already well acquainted.
Mr. You*. then read the Address. It sympa-

him oat his accession to the regal dignities ; and

did ire every sentiment in the Address, he should
give at his support, and therefore second the mo-

the meeting that his Majesty King George the
Third had reigned on the throne of these maims
sixty years; that he came among us at an age when
lie might be expected to enter into many of
those foibles inseparable from youth ; but hie
Majesty was naturally pions. He knew he had
to govern a valiant people, and, with the excep-
tion of Alfred, no Sovereign ever possessed so fully
the love sud confidence of his•subjects. He Ms-
charged the duties of his dignified station in such
• way as to command the respect of every clam of
the community, and his memory will never be ob-
literated whilst there is. Briton left who con appre-
ciate virtue—lChrers.)—His Majesty was • great
friend to the commerce of the country, and under
his auspicious reign the British flag rode in triumph
through the world. The character of the jurispru-
deuce of this country sever at any one period of
British history ranked so high as during the mild
reign of the late King ; every man's house was his
castle. Even during the American war, when party
I spirit ran so very high, his Majesty by his coucilia-
ter,' and well-timed measures vofteued down the as-
perity of political rancour, and saved his country
from consequences which other measures were hut
too likely to provoke. These ere but a few of the
advantages which this country derived from hi. Mr..
jesty's mild and benevolent reign. He detested that
odious measure, the Slave Trade—he clothed and he
educated the children of the pour—he tolerated reli-
gious freedom to a certain extent—he rupoorted
agriculture, and even by his own example gave a
stimulus to the exertions of the country gentle-
men, and in every respect he proved himself the
father of his people.—(Applarae.)His Majesty
held to no party, and when he retired from the
Sovereign to the private Gentlemen he was found
in the bosom of his amiable family. a noble exam-
Ole for hi. subjects. The gallant Colonel said he
felt himself wholly incompetent to do justice to the
many virtues of his Majesty in the manner he
wished ; but if lie needed a further panegyric.
he would mention the marked and solemn man.
ner in which the news of his Majesty's lament-
ed death was received by all classes of people.
The people of this country had to pride themselves
on possessing a Sovereign at the present moment
'of equal promise. During the nine years his pre-
sent Majesty had wielded the royal sceptre us
Regent, he had been extremely watchful of their
interest., and every thing was to be hoped for from
him. For his own part he hoped he would continue
to act with the genie firmness and decision in imp-
porting the excellent institutions of his country,
and handing them down unimpaired to posterity ;
mid that the Almighty might send him a long and
gtoriour reign.—l.4pplause.)
The HIGH BAILIFF was putting the Address,
when—

Mr. GILLIES, from the body of the Hall, begged
to be heard. He raid that he agreed with the tenor
of the Achieves; but there was a trifling addition—
al, addition dear to every British bosom, and he
would beg to have it embodied in the Address.

The Mau Bat Lin. begged to pot the Speaker

coupled with the business of the day without a

trigat.
Sir R. Wilson said. ihst.se the subject which
hod drawn them together, there mold be but one
sentiment. The virtsee of his late Majesty were
too well known and appreciated to need much com-
ment ; he had heard him more than sacs declare.
that "as honest man was the noblest work of God,"
and he believed uo man ever tried to deserve that
character more than his Majesty. Of the present
King ho found it difficult to speak. becaoae he
always felt. and always would feel. that he was
under so obligation to him. He hoped he common
with his fellow-subjects, that his Majesty might
live long to dispel those clouds that now darkeued
the hopes of the nation.

COUNTY MEETING.

On Tuesday. the gad lust, peirsisint to requi-
shim', • Meeting of the Nubility, Oeuiry, Clergy,
and Freeholders of Gloucestershire was held is.
the Near Shire-hall, fur the purpose of framing an
Address of Condolence and Congratulation to his
present Majesty.
The High Sheriff, EDWARD SURPPARD. Esq.
having taken the Chair, eloquently expressed his
satisfaction at the numbers and respectability of
the Meeting, end his entire coucermuct in the ob.
ject for which they were assembled.
His Grace the Duke of BaIUFOIT then rose to
move the Address, previous to which he observed
that lie could not give au adequate expression to his
feelings—indeed so various mid so numerous were
the virtues of oar late revered Monarch, that it
would be difficult to find words to enumerate them.
Not one could be named. of either a public or pri.
vote nature, of which he was note bright example—
as a husband and as • father he was almost unpa-
ralleled, and as is Sovereign, he thought he might
say, he was unequalled. His justice and his firm.
nese were not more conspicuous than his clemency
and benevolence; and above all. he was a true
Christian ; to that might we trace all the superior
qualities which rendered Imo au perfect a model as
a sovereign and a roan. His Grace then begged
permission to point out to the Meeting the pro-
priety of expressing their sincere congratulations,
upon his accession to the throne, to his present
Majesty, who, like his father, was boru us Engleud,
brought up in the lore and itilesiratiou of the Bri-
tish Constitution, and who had constantly expressed
his determination to support it. Might they not
then confidently anticipate, that under his rule they
should enjoy all the blessings of this our admirable
Constitution, and that in return be would bud his
subjects a loyal and a grateful people? His Grace
then read the Address, which living briefly though
energetically seconded by Coloual .Biskeley, was
carried unanimously.
The other Resolutions were then passed, and the
Assembly broke up.

ble Meeting on any similar occasion. Amongst the

Cars v.

This was an action on a bill of exchange accept-
ed by the Defeudant for 301.
The objection was usury, and an attempt of es-
tortiou by the Plaintiff's attorney. The Plaintiff
had sued both the Defendant and the drawer of the
bill, Mr. Burnet, seal-engraver, Pall-niall.
The extortion complained of was a demand by
Mr. Nicholson, the Plaintiff's attorney, for bow
sets of costs, which he valued at 401., before he
would undertake to settle the matter. an applica.
lion having been made to him for that purpose by
Mr. Burnet.
The usury was also proved by Mr. Barnet, from
whose evidence it appeared, that the Plaintiff Sind
charged half-a-guinea for discounting the bill.
which was drawn only for two months. And 11,14
was a reduction of his usual charge, because of Lis
having received a guinea before from Mr. Burnet
for discountiog a bill of 231. at the same date. •

helped the evidence of Mr. Burnet, and he did not
see any reason for impeaching it, they must give a
verdict for the Defendant, as at was a tratp.autiutt
contrary to law.

tiff—Damages 311., being the amount of the
and lawful interest thereupon.
