HERTFORD ASSIZES.

BREACH OF PROMISE -OF MARRIAGE.
PAGE V. 11,105i1L.
This was an action by a young woman, the daughter of an inn-
Iteeper, at Berkliaanitead, no this minty, against the defendant, who
fs a grocer and cheesemonger at Aylesbury, for a breach of promise
ci manias,* ; and it was singular that in this ease there was an ae-
toml marriage, but no consummation between the parties.
Mr. Marryat, as Counsel for the plaintiff, stated, that she lived in
tier father's house, an inn-keeper at Berldiampstead, and the defend-
ant was an apprentice in the same town, when their acquaintance
first began. He addressed her a considerable time, so long hack as
the year 1810, but the father of the plaintiff would not consent to
the marriage. They were, however, in fact, privately married, and
the thing remained a secret from the father of the plaintiff, each of
them returning to their respective homes. It was trite that when
the marriage took place, the defendant was under age, and being
without consent of parents or guardians, the marriage was void in
Law. After the defendant was out of his time, he set np in business
for himself at Aylesbury, and at length the father °fifty plaintiff can-
scnted, that they should be married, and the ceremony was to have
tdkrn place, but for some reason the defendant changed his mind,
and instead of completing their union by a legal and valid inarri-
at:e, lie instituted a snit in I).,etors! Commons, and procured a sen-
tence declaring his former marriage null and void, as being con•
tracted by a minor, without consent of parents or guardians. The
Learned Counsel expatiated on the injury the young woman must
necessarily sustain from such conduct, and prayed the Jury to afford
her ample recompense.
Mr. Hoskins, a friend of the datendant, stated, that he knew
of the intimacy between the plaintiff and defendant, and that they
came to his ionise in London in I.BIY, and that they were then mar-
ried. They did not live together afterwards, but each returned to
their respcctivt homes. Last )eat, when the defendant was in tinivn,

PROGRESS OF THE ALLIED killllF.3.

An interesting Supplement to the Gazette was published,
yesterday, containing Dispatches to Government, from Lord 4.
Cathcart and Stewart, which state that having concerted a
grand scale of combined movements, the s• veral arrnicr;
under Prince NVrede, the Prince of Wirternherg, the Arch-
duke Ferdinand, Schwartsenherg, and General i'rimont,

marched directly forward to consummate the great and dq-
cive object they had in view, overthrowing the enemy
wherever he made a stand, and disregarding the minor bands
which might infest their rear, or partially injure their
communications, without having any ultimate effect on the
fate of the campaign. This line of condtic, has given rise fn
several inferior but sharp actions ; to some affairs in the vi-
cinity of strong fortresses ; and generally to a sort of desul-
tory warfare, in which the Freneh have suffered severely.

Mr. Sylvester, the Messenger, arrived 3'esterday about
twelve o'clock with di,patches from Lord Castlereagh, hut it
is not understood that their contents were of particular iin•
portance.

the Prussian troops during their passage. A column of the
enemy (the Allies) presented itself before Chalons-Sur-Saone.
that town attempted to resist, and has consequently been very
ill treated. Many of its inhabitants have ken killed, or

Mr. Rose presented the Report of the ?Meet Committee on
Mad houses. On presenting this report, Mr. Rose said, no Gentle.
pan could read it without perceiving the immediate necessity of
some steps being adopted on this subject. There was no country on
the face of the earth where persons deprived of their senses were
so little protected by law. The confinement in many of the titi-
vate Mad-honses was much worse than confinement in any prism' iu
the kingdom —The report was ordered to be pritoed.
Mr. Rose then presented the Report from the C,.um.ittee on the
state of the membeity in the metropolis, anti observed that the
Report %%until prove, that though there were seine ehjects et ruLl
charity in the metropolis appealing in the character of memfeants,
yet the greater part were the worst of characters. The number of
mendicants its the metropolis was 30000 and upwards, some of
whom got inure thati any industrious mechanic could get. One
beggar confessed to the Committee that he sometimes got SO,. per
day : the average stme however, for each beggar, was about (is.
The evil was, indeed, beyond any thing which he had conceited.
The money which they thus obtained was -expended in the most
objectionable manner. The number of beggars was be believed
touch increased by the practice which existed in some parishes of
farming oat their poor. This practice prevailed in WO parishes its
the metropolis and its environs : they were farmed out at a low
rate ; and the way in which several of the farmers made it answte
their put post, was, by allowieg several of the paupers to go out to
beg! The Right Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to advert ca
several parts of the report, and he trusted Gentlemen would, during
the recess, turn their minds to the subject, and come prepared ues.t,
Session to propose some remedy.

Indeed, if we wish to discover and to amend our fault', it 19
more likely that we shall learn them from our avowed ad-
versaries than our professed fri:uds ; and as a general prin-
ciple we recommend to all who set out in search of good to
imitate the bee, which culls from every flower all the sweets
that it can find, and overlooks not even the most noxious
weed in the search. To be plain, we dislike the maxim of
doing in all things the reverse of any one man, especially
if he be avowedly a man of great talents ; for in that case
we surrender our judgments entirely, and form to our elves
a bad model expressly on the rule of acting by contraries.
As for the other idle principk, of prying into h arts rather
than examining conduct, it 's assuming too much o. the
Divinity, and thinking not only that we are ‘• of Goa,"—
that our power is " from God,"—but that we possess the
very attributes of God himself, and that all hearts be open
to us; than which nothing can be more v .in and impious.
How liable it is to palpable error may be seen in this, that
Mr. Pitt, though he poke many years for the abolition of
the Slave Trade, was supposed very falsely to have no hear;
in the cause, merely on account of the delay which his
colleagues managed to produce; and England was. in 1814,
accused by the French of mean views of self interest in
proposing the abolition, with the hope that the energies of thQ
French colonies would hereafter be crippled by the want
of slaves.

We have said enough against this erroneous test of
human conduct, by imputtn4 motives opposite to the very
action; and, leaving the French Government to deal as it can
with its former slaves in St. Domingo, will nut violate our
own rules by casting the slightf st suspicion on the motives of
the good King of France. Still we shall never shrink from
examining his conduct ; and Ave sincerely declare that we hail
with unmixed joy and exultation this certain good, which
Lord Castlereagh has effected in his late negociations. May
it soothe his anguish amidst the restless anxieties of a states_
man's life, and add an inexhaustible sweet to the cup of
h7s enjoyments !
The subject of the slave trade, that is to.say,,of its aboli.
tion, of tae immediate improvement of the situation of
our black brethren in the West Indies, and the destruction
of slavery altogether, by &be means through which positive
slavery has been nearly ,abolished ja. uropt, namely,

ISITION.

On the ABOLITION of die SLAVE Trade by Louts XVIII.
on the Registry of SLAVES, and the threatened REBEL.
LION of JAMAICA
AN event most gratifying to the friends of humanity was
publicly announced last week, on the indisputable autho
rity of the Ministers for Foreign Affairs of France and of
England. The Slave Trade is formally abolished by the
legitimate government of France. How it happened that
the ability and eloquence of Lord Castlereagh was so lung
baffled on this point in 1814, and was obliged at last to re.
tire contented with a sort of doubtful truce for five years,
we may well remember. Circumstances are now changed;
Mr. lFilberforee and Mr. Clarkson have both published
pamphlets on the subject, which have been translated into
French, and, having been licenced by the censors of the
press, have been circulated in France at the expence of the
Government, or perhaps of the African society in En g.
land. There is such a reiolution in the opinion of the
slave•traders and anti•abolitionists in France, that the '
King is now quite at liberty to gratify the feelings of his
Own heart, and to put an end,, as far as respects French.
men, to the most diabolical of all traffics, the bartering for
a few trinkets, a little gunpowder, or a quantity of brandy,
the lives, the liberty, and happiness of thousands of human
beings annually torn from their homes, their families and
connexions, and their very country, to pass into perpetual

bondage, they and their issue, for all time to come.
In this change, the good King of France expressly de_
Glares, that he was not guided by the consideration that the
rebel goverimentl in the short interval that was allowed for
the display of its tyranny, had begun its career by this very
act unsolicited and without hesitation. No—every thing
which that Government could have dune, however wise and
virtuous in appearance, must necessarily be bad in reality,
and undeserving of all imitation, because it must proceed
from dark and sinister views quite opposite from its pro-
fessions. This is probably very true ; but we, who profess
to see less into the hearts of men, and not at all into those of
kings, have made it a rule to consider all actions as good
and worthy of imitation which produce a good effect; and
thoirld iatheehave preferred the avowal of a principle di-
rectly the reverse of this ; namely, to copy in others every
thing which is obviously good, ‘vithout enquiring into the
motive, as to which we are so likely to be deceived by preju-
dices. There is an old maxim of apprdved wisdom, which
tells us, that it is good to take warning of

yield to her."

Such are the reasons of M. de Bonala for the Recession
to France of Belgium.- "it is impossible," says the editor
of the Journal de Paris, " to afford a reasonable reply to
such arguments ;" and he adds, " M. de Donald is irresis-
tible when he combats for the truth." The Moniteur has
also been warm in its eulogium on this tract, which ISA
mere pamphlet of 79 pages. Hence, there appears every
reason to believe that it is sanctioned by the Government,
although the editor of The Times says," that the virtuous
soul of Louis the Eighteenth would view such an attempt
as an attack on Belgium with horror, and would rather re-
sign his Crown than become a party to such an act of atro-
city! ►.!"

think it politic to elicit information and obtain grounds
of reasoning from our foes, and particularly when they are

• POLITICAL DISWISITION.

THE BALANCE OF POWER.

The circumstance of a pamphlet having been published
at Paris, entitled " Reflexions sur l'interetgeneral l'Eu-
ropc," which has the discussion of this question for its
object, cannot have escaped the attention of our readers.
Nor can they be ignorant, that while,the Paris papers class
him among those of their authors who have shewn "most
address, perseverance, and intelligence," pronounce him
to have discussed the luestion of the natural boundaries
of France with a " superior talent," and state that his ideas
on this subject acquire force. and authority when treated
by his eloquent pen. The Times handles him most
roughly, and thus, as a matter of course, recurs to its
Billingsgate vocabulary, in order.to invalidate the force of
his reasoning, adding, with• a tone of authority,. that Louis
.the Eighteenth is opposed to this measure of aggrandize-
ment.

Doubt says M. de Ronald, " if all the

of Europe, so fortunate in having escaped from the misery
and misfortune of a tyranny unexampled in history, could
. ,
agree to return to the status quo ante Reliant, and to place
themselves in the situation in which they were found by the
Revolution, France would have nothing to demand, al-
though, even in that case, she wouki have to suffer for a
long time, perhaps for ever, from the loss of some of her
finest colonies. If Great Britain, Austria, Russia, al-
ready so strong, if even Prussia should have aggrandized
herself, the one by the possession of those positions's° es-
sential to her commerce with the Levant and the Indies ;
the others by depredations on their neighbours,• or, per-
haps io a short time, at the expence of the Turks, which
at one and the same time offer a rich prey and an easy
•
conquest ; if Spain, the natural ally of Fratire," already
exhausted by her heroic resistance, should behold her.
wealthy possessions in South America reedy to escape from
•
her Government ; if the kingdom of the Two Sicilies: ano-
ther of the natural allies of France, should remain divided,
is it not unjust, is it not imprudent in the advocates • for k•
political balance • between the North laid the South to
throw all their influence into the scale of theYbriner and

AMERWAN PAPERS.

An important American Paper of the 9th of December
trrised yesterday, containing a Message from the President
to Congress, with dispatches horn the American Commis
sinners at Ghent, explaining the course and actual state of
the negociation to the end of October. Thin documents
are of considerable interest, even though peace has been
concluded. Early in October the British Commissioners
proposed an article on the subject of the pacification and
rights of the Indian nations. This proposition was acceded
to on the 13th of October by the American Commissioners
who requested of the British the projet of a treaty of peace.
The British, who thought themselves entitled to require
from the Americans the first projet of a treaty, consented,
neverheless, to wave this claim, and delivered, on the 21st
October. a projet or general statement of terms.
The f "lowing are the principal points of their projet:

They con-enr not to require any stipulation with respect
to the forcible seizure of seamen from on board merchant
vessels on the high seas, the right of the King of Great rm.
tlin to the allegiance of all his native subjects or the utari•
time rights of the British Empire.
With respect to the fisheries, they do not interfere with
the American right of fishing on the Banks of Newfound.

POLICE.

MANSION. HOUSE.

The further investigation of the charge made against Capten
Fenny of the East India ship Caroline, on suspicion of the murder of
Butler John, his steward, occupied the attention of the Lord Mayor
the whole of IVedncsday, this being the third examination.
The Lascara persisted in the evidence which they had before
given.
The Lord Mayor Said, he hail, attentively examined the ship. He
had gone into the cabin and upon the poop ; he had gone round the
ship, and examined the streaks of paint ; and by the description of
the place where the spar was fixed, with the men sitting upon it,
his Lord-hip did not think it possible that these men could see into
the cabin window ; hut us to the possibility of forcing a man out
of the cabin window, the defendant wound do well not to let that
be.any part of his defitice. Any opinion of his own, his Lordship
said, (trth) not diminish the troth ; but he firmly believed these meet
could not have seen through the cabin window from the position i■
which the spar was played ; nevertheless, the evidence was so
positive, and so firmly persisted in by the witnesses', that it was im-
possible for his Lordship (consistent w►th the task he had to perform)
to dismiss the case, and therefore he should desire it to stand user
for another examination on Monday f,rtnight.

ROW•STREET.
Wednesday morning the Office was tilled with a most motley
group of Tnrks, Moors, Greeks, &e. forming the-crew of the Talk-
ish schooner the Gelea, from Smyrna, who preferred a charge
against their Captain, for violently assaulting and wounding Jultss
Ciragno, one of the seamen.
The Witnesses produced were sworn according to their different
religions, without their shoes. It appeared that in the month of
November last, the Turkish schooner Gelea was lying between Do-
ver and Stangate Creek, when John Ciragno was at work very bard
on board ()flier; lie asked the cook to give him some bread. which
being in the hearing of the caidaio, he called out to Ciri:gno, to
know what businesa he had to give orders, and afterwards ghe him
a violent blow with a long Turkish pipe. I.:itaigno remonstratest
against the captain's striking him, and asked the captain why be
used him in ill for merely asking for some bread. The captain re-
plied to this, that he had better hold his tongue, or he would come
to him and kill him, And apreared in a great passion : he proceeded
to his cabin, and returned in a short time at me,l with a sabre or a
cutlass, and went to Ciragno, and aimed a violent blow at Iris heads
but it was warded oil by ionic of the cre% and the sabre or cutlass
fell on his thigh and inflicted a v:ound. loe wound was afterwards
dressed by the stucco,' of the vessel, in the hold. The wound was
rot so bad as to prevent hint from working.
Mr. Alley attended for the captain, and stated that this prosr7u-
tion was commenced against the captain in consequence of there
being a dilmtc between him and some of the crew for tlo r w tgeo,
or it would not have been heard of, though now sevestal actions had
been brought by sever al of the crew again at the eaptaiu.

APPREHENSION OF LORD COCHRANE.

Lord Cochrane entered the Howse of Commons, went Nieto the table,
and deliberately examined the Order-book. This brine shunt two
hours before the usual assembling of the House, his Lori khip Was the

Clerk of the Fee's Office to take the omits as Member for Westminster.
Mr. Doddiugtoo. the Chief Clerk. stated that the certificate of biare..
turn had not been communicated from the Croon office, at which Ns
Lordship expressed himself in strong terms at censure. A mate, flow-
ever, was instantly forwarded to the Clerk 44 the Crowit.eifilee, to mals
the necessary return, and his Lordship weal into the House to wait for

DOVER, MARCH 23.-- ay the vessels arrived this day from Ca-
lais and Boulogne, the news we have is, that Louis XVIII. with Wit
suite, is gone from Abbeville to Lisle.
In the course of the afternoon of Monday last, about 2000 men,
forming the adrauced guard of Buonaparte, and consisting of ca-
valry and infantry, marched through Pat is, ss ith the tri-coloured
cockade, and banners bearing the inscription " Liberty, V4Ctory,
and Peace !" They were received as might haie been expected.
About midnight the Arch-Tyrant entered with the rest of his troops,
the Cockade Nationale w-rs generally hoisted, and there welt, ac-
clamations.

After the MOO men, with which Ney went to enconnter
parte, had gone over to the Tyrant, the Marshal hastened to joiii
the King, and is reported to have preceded hint to.Lisie, to
point it was expected aeme movement would be made b 3 the Allied
Troops, in rupport of the Royal natree.
Dnytn, MAUCH 23.—That Blm/parte is in Paris, there can now
be not a partir lc of doubt. By the vessels that arrived Iron) Calins
last night, and one from Boulogne this morning, we learn that he en.
tered Paris on Monday, and slept at Sr. Cloud that night. No resist-
ance whatever was made, and not even a shot fired. Buonaparte
made use, as usual, of a portion of tliat finesse of whitih he is so
capable ; for as soon us the national guards came out of Paris to give
him battle, he desired the troops under him to throw down their arms,
and run and embrace their brethren. By tlii• artifice the King's troops
refused to attack, and he entered Paris without opposition. A gentle.
mall landed here to-day who left Paris ut the instant Burioaporte en-
tered it.

A large embarkation of troops for Ostend thkes place here on Satur-
day.
Four vessels are in sight from Nu mail has been rece i. ed
frOm France since Monday. In consequeuce of a squall, the vessels
which were coining here are slow runtliog to the Dowits : those %hail
arrived last night hid 60 or 70 passenger► on board.

TO THE FRENCH PEOPLE.

Frenchmen!—The defection of the Duke of Castiglione delivered
tip Lyons, without defence, to our enemies; the army of which I
confided io him the command, was, by the number of its battalions,
the bravery and patriotism of the troops which composed it, fully
able to brat the Austrian corps opposed to it, and to get into the
Pear of the left wing of the enemy's army, which threatened

Paris.
The victories of Champ Aubert, of Maittmirail, of Chateau Thierry
Qf Fauchamp, of Mormons, of 11lowtercau, of Craone, of Rheims, of
.Arey-sur-A4ibe, and of St. Dizier ; the rising of the brave peasants of
Lorraine, of Champagne, of Alsace, of Franche Comte, and of
Bourgoin, and the position which I had taken on the rear of the
enemy's army, by separating it from its magazines, from its parks
of reserve, from its convoys and all its equipages, had placed it in a
desperate situation. The French were never on the point of being
more powerful, and the flower of the enemy's army was lost with-
out resource ; it would have found its grave in those vast countries
which it had mercilessly ravaged, when the treason of the Duke of
Ragusa gave up the capital and disorganised the army. The unex-
pected conduct of those two Generals who betrayed at once their
country, their Prince, and Their benefactor, changed the destiny of
the war. The disastrous situation of the enemy was such, that at
the conclusion of the affair which took place before Poris, it was

CONSPIRACY TO SHOOT LOUIS XVIII.

A Fiend' Nobleman arrived from Pat is states, that a most
atrocious conspiracy bad been formed against the life of the
French King, which, however, was happily frustrated. On
Saturday morning the C/ambre des Mareehaus was crowded
by persons of all descriptions. On a sudden, by.a ptecon-
cetted signal, a considerable body cried out, hive l'Em-
pereur ;" on which.they were joined by an immense multitude
of confederates, who occupied the gardens of the Thuillerics.
The object of this clamour was to distract the attention of
the National Guards, and give credence to the report of the
arrival of Buenapartc ; the conspirators judging that in the
confusion of the scene would afford them a favourable op-
portunity for the execution of their purpose—the assassina-
tion of Louis. The guardes acted with great promptitude--
they seized the ringleaders ; the partisans of the latter inter-
fered, and a desperate scuffle ensued, in which several were
killed and others desperately wounded. In the midst of these
horrible scenes, the Peers mustered around the person of the
King, who remained perfectly collected. The gallantry of
the National Guard prevailed, nany prisoners were made, and
tranquility restored.

which he was rirling in St..loseph's square, knocked down a woman.--
Ike Prince with much difficulty succeeded in stopping his horse, And
alighted to enqiiire into the situation of the woman, who had fortunately
received no serious injury, though greatly alarmed. The young Prince
again mounted his horse, which appeared tranquil, but shortly afterwards
reared, and threw his rider. His head was nearly laid open, and this ho-se
with n single kick broke sever:A of his ribs. He was conveyed in a liPless
stale to the house of his brotlier.in-law, Prince Schwarte-nberg. This
