(itary question, but an affair of State ; and the Court,
efter hearing Counsel upon the subject, declared itself
incompetent, the prisoner being a Peer, and as such
entitled to be tried by the Chamber of Peers. In con-
sequence of this decision, an Ordinance from the King
was immediately sent to the Chamber of Peers, re-
quiring them to proceed without delay in the trial of
the accused ; and in their sitting of Saturday last, the
Duke of Richelieu explained the motives of this Or-
dinance to the House. His Grace displayed much
indignatio i on the occasion, and while he admitted the
fact of the conduct of the Court Martial having proved
a triimplt for the factious, observed that they would
not suff:r a longer impunity to engender fresh scourges,
grev ter perhaps than those from which they were trying
to escape. The speech of his Grace was followed by
an order of the House for proceeding without loss of
time to the trial of the traitor, and Monday last was
fixed for that purpose.—The Government seems most
actively engaged in measures for the prevention of out-
rage and insurrection. All military men at Paris, no
matter is hat their rank, are ordered, within eight days,
to quit the capital, unless permitted to remain by the
specific sanction of the Commander in Chief of the
Division. The keepers of hotels and !edging houses
are orclered strictly to return the names of their guests
al d lc dgers ; two of the national guard of Paris have
been puLlicly dismissed for using seditious expressions ;
and a variety of circumstances, in short, prove the
ferment that exists, and the apprehension of the Go-
vernmerit.

The army under the command of the Duke of Wel-
ling'on is thus distributed :—Paris is occupied by the
Guards ; the second division is cantoned at Versailles ;
the third at St. Cloud, Sovres, and Neuilly; the fourth
at Loiljuwan : the fifth at Meulan; the sixth at St.
G.rmaio and Pasty ; the lianoverians at Limours ; the
Nassau troops at Ecoucn and Luzarches.

COUNCIL OF WAR.
TRIAL OF MARSHAL NEY.

Note. 10.—Yesterday, in the Council room, Marshal Massena pre-
sented to his colleagues his motives for desiring to be excused from
airline, founded on the p-rsonal animosity of which he might be ac-
cused against Marshal Key, on account of quarrels which had cc-
cum d between them during the war in Spain Marshal Masiena
withdrew, whilst his colleagues deliberated, with dosed doors, upon
tltis excu,e, which they decided to be insufficient.
This day, at the opening of the sitting, the Reporter announced
that he shntild cont;;:ue the reading of the documents, and first corn-
.olne 'ites ofd irations,which, as they have not the stamp
Or ju%icial an:hority, can only he admitted as mere hints.

COVENT ‘RDEN.

On Friday night, Mr. Conway assumed, for the first
tip?:, On! part of Mac/nat./at this theatre. This was a bold
I.atl.rtal inv,-, in which n,Y, to fail, after so many celebrated
pr:Alocessors, was equivalent to success. Mr. Conway's
chief fault is the want el a proper medium. Either the
tursts of his Yt,lco stun, or its whiTers elude, the ears of
the au;lienee. This is perhaps a mama] deficiency, for
judgment is correct, but it weakened the effect of his
performance of the fallen hero. lle revealed occasional
ilayhes of geuins, which would, no doubt, be more fre-
quent were more justice done, and more encouragement
p.;ivca to his taleta:;, by the critics of the times. The seve-
r[y with which it is the fashion, with these genticmen, to
treat hitn, is weight which prevents him from rising. The
applause judiciously bestowed on his exertions, last

ACCIDENTS, OFFENCES, ,S-c.

HORRID MURDER.—The folhwing is an extract of a letter from
Guernsey, dated November 4.—Dear Sir,—A respectable looking man,
apparently about 60 years of age, who stated his name to be Thomas
Fookes, and that his family resided at Truro, came here scme days
since. for the purpose, as he said, of contracting for supplying this
island and Jersey, with corn, beef, &c. He resided at Cole's Hotel,
in the market-place; and, whilst there, conducted Maisel with gear
propriety. Atter breakfast, yesterday, he left the inn to take a walk
ne r Fort Ge ,rge. In the evening, before dark, as two men were in
a boat. on the part of the shore towards which he was supposed to
have walked, they discovered the body of a man in the water, near the
cliff. The water was not above two tcct deep over the body, which
they imtiv-d ately took up, and conveyed to the t-,wn Hospital. It
prove.i to he that of Mr. Fookes, and was examined and opened.—
A severe wound appeared on the head, and several bruises on the
body ; the surgeons stated, that otherwise the state of the body indi-
cated perfect health. There can be little doubt, that the deceased
was murdere , robbed, and thrown over the cliff, near to which lie
was found ; as he was known to have a pocket-book, a watch, and a
pair of silver mounted spectacles in his possession, Lune of which,
nor any money whatever, were found on the body.".

We have made inquiry of Mr. Fookes's family, and unfortunately
there is little doubt that he was the person ab-.)ve described. We have
not learnt what amount of property he had with hill, as when his
family last heard from him, he was at his brother's, near Weymouth.

WAR ore rE4rE.

Mr. WHITBREAD, pursuant to notice, proceeded to call the atten-
tion of the House to the present state of alLirs in Europe, particularly
as they .illected this country', for the purpose of ascertaining the pro-
priety of addressing the Paine Regent on this momentous crisis. The
time had arrived, notwithstanding all that they had heard of the al-
tetnative of peace or war yet being left to the Ministers, when they
might consider themselves on the eve of embarking in a new war with
France. The illicit publication of documents, particularly of the
Treaty of the 25th of March—a publication that was so unfortunate
fir the Noble Lord in the blue ribbon (Lord Castlereagh,), because it
pl iccdalEtirs in their true point of view, now no longer left the House.
and the counts, ipdoubt. The language or that Tr .!aty, a$ well as of
the Declaration of thehAllies of the 13th of March, which was its
forerunner, was war. But how had the Noble Lord dealt with the
House respecting those documents ? When the Address to the Prince
Regent was v.ted, which was on the 6th inst. the Noble Lord said
l'ot!!ing of the Treaty of the 25th of March, although that Treaty was
n! his possession the day before, that was, the sth of April ; but the
hfe Lord told the House that war had nut been determined upon;
i!hit the alternative of peace or war still exist.ed. ;Hear.) I t certainly
%%as not intended that the Treaty should have come to light quite so

Earl Gni:lr said lie had ruceived iid of a transaction so
extraordinary, that lie was almost disposed to doubt the truth of it.
He had heard that a loan of ten millions was negotiated in Holland
for the Emperor of Russia ; but the inconvenience of Russia,
if
called upon to pay it otl, being stated, an nriangement was come to,
that Russia should pay half the deUt, and Holland and Great Bi itaio
the other half between them. Thai arrangement was agreed to by
the British Minister, Without any intimatiqn to Parliament, and
thus the country was burdened with an additional two millions and
a halt; for past service, if indeed they deserved the name of seivi-
ces at all.
The Earl of Ltv ruPOOL said, that nothing hail been done which
would not be submitted in due time to Parliament, mid depeuti on
their decision nbetlicr it would be agreed to or not.

THE FRENCH CONSTITUTION.

All the private letters lately received from France alluded
to a prevailing rumour among the people, that it was Buona-
parte's intention a second time to abdicate his clown; not
for the purpose of restoring it to Louis XVIII, but of re-esta-
blishing the Republic. Whether these reports were spread
by a party of the Jacobins dissenting from the rest, and dis-
satisfied with the idea of a limited monarchy, or by the
Royalists, who wished to impress the nation with a belief that
the horrors of the revolution would be renewed, they have been
completely set at rest by the appearance of the New French
Constitution, which will be found at length in our pages.
Copied almost verbatim from our own, it gives the executive
power, with the title of Emperor to Napoleon. It appoints
two houses, with the same powers as in England, one of here-
ditary Peers, and the other of Representatives of the people,
selected freely through the whole extent of France. It se-
cures the freedom of the press on exactly the same terms as
amongst us; the liberty of the subject, the trial by jury, the
responsibility of ministers, the eligibility of every person to
public situations, the liberty of religious worship, and tall.,
away from the head of the Government the.power of raisi:.A
men without a particular law, sanctioned by both houses.

every treaty he had ever made, and every oath that he had
ever taken. Ile would ask any man present, whether in his
private transactions he would give credit to a man who had
often before deceived him ? Ile was sure that there was not a
man who had a grain of common sense that would do so.
Was Oleic any body who would give security for Bonaparte's
good behaviour in future? Would the gentlemen who
brought forward the present resolutions do so? Ile begged
that the Livery would consider the consequences of what
the\ were now about. What an important document would
they furnish to Bonaparte, if they should pass the resolutions
now proposed to them ! Ile would doubtless have it printed
in the Fiend) papers, and spew his nation that the Liverymen
f London so far sanctioned his proceedings as to deprecate
a war with France. (The remainder of Mr. Dixon's speech
ATas rendered almost inaudible by the continued hissings of
the supporters of the resolutions. The LORD M A YOR came
forward to endeavour to procure him a hearing, but the lat-
ter part of his speech was heard very imperfectly).
Mr. B. FLOWER replied to Mr. Dixon, and supported the
resolutions in a speech of great length.
The resolutions were then put, and carried by a consider-
able majority.
A Petition to the House of Commons, grounded on those
resolutions, was also agreed to.
Thanks were voted to the Lord Mayor, who returned his
acknowledgements.
Thanks were also voted to Mr. Weidman and Mr. Favell.

only differs with ours in the period of the duration of each
parliament, which is limited to five instead of seven years.—
It is more perfect than the Charter granted by Louis XVIII.
and is to be proposed to the acceptance of the nation. Books
are to be opened throughout the country, in which every
individual will inscribe his assent or dissent. These Re-
gisters are to be examined by the Member of the Electoral
colleges, assembled in the Champ de Mai on the 26th of
May next, when the Constitution will be discussed, accepted,
and solemnly sworn' to by Napoleon and the nation. Against
this Constitution, which places Napoleon, with respect to
poli►ical power, on the same footing as the King of Eng-
land ; no objection can be urged, provided it does not re-
main a mere dead letter. We should like to know, with
Lord Castlereagh, whether when Buonaparte finds himself at
the head of 400,000 men, he will think the Constitution en-
titled to as much respect as he possesses for it at present.

tain. 44 if France," said Lord Castlereagh, " will not
join the rest of the world to obtain and establish the gene-
ral security, then let the seat of the war be in France her-

self as the reward of her imbecility and subserviency. If
the French army think that they must be set loose again—
that it is au injustice done them to arrest their career. and
the rapidity of their promotion to rank and fortune, Eu-
rope must teach them, that if they are so fond of war, th.'y
shall hare war; not in the way in which they like it, but
in the mode in which the Allied Pbwers think proper to
wage it." The necessity of war being once admitted, the
truth of these propositions becomes self-evident. But, mot-
withstanding the bustle of the Allies, and the vast ettoto
of their preparations, is it not still possible that -they'
should be the assailed, and not the assailants ? Nay, 'lava.
they not already been attacked, and in a quarter preitwant
with the most imminent danger ? The war which it was in-
tended to fix in France, has already crossed the Alps, and
set all Italy in a blaze. The advance of the Neapolitans
to the Po, the proclaimed independence of Italy, the' flight
of the petty Sovereigns which the inipolicy of the Allies
had restored, instead of uniting all Italian hearts in the
same cause by granting them the object of their ardent
wishes, a national existence, have already most materially
weakened the Coalition, and delayed the period when it
can act on the offensive. Had not these events happened,
the Austrian armies would by this time havelreached the
Rhine, and an imposingforcc might perhaps be moxing
within the French frontiers. But, at the mostsritical period,
Austria has been obliged to march the troops intended for
the Rhine to Lombardy, and their place must be supplied
by the Russian army, the arrival of which, on account Of
the increased distance to which it had been removed,
must be at least a fortnight or three weeks later them
would have been that of the Austrians, had not the
progress /of Murat, and the insurrections by which he
is supported, diverted their course. Is it not possible
that Napoleon may profit by the present weakness of
the Allies on the Rhine, and anticipating the arrival
of the Russians, may contrive to begin the war on the
right bank of that river, instead of waiting for attack
within the frontiers of France ? In that. case what would
be the conduct of those small states with which that part
of Germany abounds, and who have not had hitherto suf-
ficieepower or sufficient honesty to refuse siding with the
for the time? Might they not give an example o

BOW-STREET.

On Tnesday, P. Robert AI ilward, huntsman to Col. Thornton, ob-
tained at this office a warrant against Col. Thornton, Sir Henay
Sheridan, Bart. and John Titeux de Terrenar, charging them with
a violent assault. It appeared that Colonel Thornton went to France
about four months since, leaving R. Milward 011 his estate near
Bath, as huntsman. The Colonel returned to England about a
month since, and has been living at Pagliano's Hotel, during that
time. Wednesday se'niglit Robert Milward arrived in London, and
since that time he had been repeatedly with the Colonel for the
poyment of his wages, &c. amounting to 371. the Colonel disputed
the amount, and said he should refer it to a Mr. Brace; however,
at the interview which he had with the Colonel on Monday evening,
he told him he had no money to pay for his food or necessary ex-
pences, and the Colonel refusing to give him any, and the huntsman
refusing to leave the room except he had some, force was used to
get him out, and it being held by the Magistrate, that the hunts-
man was a trespasser, atter being ordered out, the warrant was dis-
charged.

FRENCH I'APERS.

A letter from Ostend, dated in the evening of 'Wednes-
day last, says, that 20 French dragoons had that morning
been brought into Ypres, who had been taken prisoners by
some German Dragoons, without firing a shot, while en-
deavouring to levy contributions on the Flemish fron-
tiers. It is also added that a French Officer of distinction
had been apprehended as a spy, between Popperinge and
.Dixmude, who it was reported was General Vandamme.
Teesday Paris papers arrived to the 23d instant.—They
inform us of the increased preparations of Bonaparte for war,
and contain several articles from Italy relative to the war be-
tween Austria and Naples, all of which represent the advan-
tages obtained by the latter in the first operations as very con-
siderable. The Austrians having retreated behind the Po,
the enemy pursued them across that river, the passage of
which they effected at San Beneditto. On the side of Tus-
cany the Neapolitans have also made some progress. They
entered Florence on the gth, General Nugent having re-
treated from that city ; and on the morning of the 10th an
action was commenced in the neighbourhood of Leghorn, in
which General Nugent was so severely pressed, that the whole
of the troops had been marched from that place to support
him ; but the result was not known at the date of the last ad-
vices. Murat has published a proclamation, addressed to the
people of Italy, inviting them to rise and establish their inde-
pendence. " Formerly masters of the world," he says, " you
have expiated that fatal glory by an humiliation of 20 cen-
tunes. Be it henceforth your glory to have no masters.
Every nation ought to confine itself within the limits which
teture has assigned it. The sea and inaccessible mountains—
these arc your frontiers." It would be little difficult to dis-
cover from this Proclamation alone, what could he M. Mu-
;:kt s object in issuing it. He doCs not mention Bonaparte,

nor does he speak of any one of tote Allied Powers, except
England, whom he highly eulogises. The French funds have

We have French papers of the 26th in which it continues
to be asserted that Buonaparte is preparing to visit the
northern fortresses, or in other words to put himself at the
head of his army. It is said, however that- be had not yet
left Paris, but private accounts state him to have quitted that
capital in the afternoon of Wednesday.

POLITIG4L DIS QUIS ITIO N.

WAR.

The veil Is at last removed, and the hopes and fears of
teankind on the great question of peace or war, are re-
duced to a state of certainty. The magnitude of our mili-
tary and financial preparations, and the march of the
Allied troops, would alone have been sufficient to dispel
all doubt, bad not the declarations of our Ministers in-
cessantly revived it. An alternative was still left, we
were told, and anticipation was checked. The purpose
could not be to keep this nation in the dark ; for ere a
country is plunged into a contest in which her very exist-
ence may be affected, it is the duty of her executive Ser-
vants to warn her of her peril- and take her sense, before
they pledge her to encounter it. Powerful must have been
the motive which outweighed this consideration. It will
probably be found in the policy of concealing from the
enemy that he was regarded as such, until a sufficient
force should be assembled to give full and decisive effect
to the principle of hostility. Had the line of conduct
which Europe intended to adapt been openly acknow-
ledged at an earlier period, all' fear of provoking war, by
preparing to repel attack, would have been dismiised by
the French Government ;- and its superior activity might
have enabled it to anticipate upon the Allies the blow
which they meditated against itself. This is the best
excuse which can be brought in justification of a course of
secrecy, which otherwise might have been considered as
trifling with the sentiments, the interests, and perhaps the
destinies of a people. As the mask is now dropped, and
irreconcileable enmity to Napoleon and the French Army
has been avowed by Lord Castlereagh in the name of all
the Allied Powers, it is but reasonable to suppose that
their preparations are completed, and that they are deter-
mined by instant exertion to compass their objects, the
dethronement of the French Ruler, and the extinction of
that army whichr is represented by his Lordship to " be
panting for plunder." War is therefore inevitable. The
ear may now hourly expect its first pea!, and the eye,may
watch for the rising glare of desolation. But let it not be
imagined that the struggle will be slight in its nature, li-
mited in its course, or confined in its duration. When
the Powers of the earth are in arms, and the spirit of ven-
geance rankles in every heart; when it is become a ques-
tion, not only of national glory and independence, but of
political existence on all sides; when opposite quarters of
the world rise in mighty contention, and the South springs
in all the ardour of her sone, to roll back the invasion of
the North and the F.sist the clash must be terriblel

COMMENCEMENT OF HOSTILITIES IN ITALY.

The war between Austria and the king of Naples, Joa-
chim Napoleon, for he has now resumed that name, has for-
mally commenced, not only by the rapid advance of the Nea-
politans to the Po, which they arc reported to have crossed
after several inconsiderable actions, but by the publication of
a manifesto. dated Vienna, April 12th, in which the Empe-
ror Francia complains of Murat's treachery and aggressions,
and declares, war upon him. The latter has invited the
Italians to use, in an animated proclamation, and is reported
to have been joined by such numbers as to have been en-
couraged to change the Neapolitan colours for those of Italy,
and to proclaim himsclf King of that country.

UNION HALL.

CHARGE OF Mun»En.—Maty Ryan, who was examined on a
former day, charged with attempting to murder her female bastard
child, of which she delivered herself, by throwing it down the privy,
was brought before Mr. Serjeant Sellon for final examination.
It appeared on the prisoner's first examination, that the cries of
the infant whilst lying on tl►e soil, had drawn the attention of the
prisoner's master, by whom it was rescued from its perilous situa-
tion ; the prisoner was at that time remanded for another examina-
'tion, when it shoidd have been ascertained whether the child would
survive. The infant is since dead ; but it appeared -that it lived se•
veral days after the prisoner's attempt to destroy it; and from the
statement of the surgeon, it appeared its death was occasioned by
natural causes. The facts of the prisoner's pregnancy, and her en-
deavours to conceal it, were proved, to the satisfaction of the magis•
trate. In her defence, she said her delivery was premature and
unexpected, and that she did not know she was in labour when she
went to the privy, and the circumstance took place. She was fully
committed tir trial, for concealing the birth of the child, with in.
tent to destroy it.
