MILITARY INQUIRY.

The CHANCELLOR of the EECHECLVER, in Conse-
quence of the interval that had- occurred between
the expiration of the Military Inquiry Aet, and the
passing of the Bill to continue, that Aa, found it
necessary to call on the House ,to pass a Bill to le-
galize the proceedings of the Conuniasioners in that
interval. The House would recollea_that the fiat
Bill for the continuance of the Military Inquiry was
mislaid in,the House of Lords, and that Chas the ori-

ginal Ad expired before another could be passed.—
He thought it right to make the-present Bill appli-
cable to all intervals between expiring ALI 4, and Aeks
to continue them, passed in the same session. He
moved for leave accordingly,
Mr. PONSONBY remarked, that :the passing of a
general Bill would require much consideration; as
there would be great bar(.lship as well as great con.
stitutional impropriety in thus continuing taxes and
penalties.
The CHANOBLLOR of the EXCHZQUER allowed
that cases of such a nature ought to be excepted.
Leave was given to bring in the .

ABOLITION Of the SLAVE TRADE, in AFRICA

[FROM THE SIERRA LEONE GAZETTE.]

" Permit me to send you the following faels for
your insertion, which will tend to shew in what
manner some of the natives of this country are
posed to view the abolition of the slave trade. Since.
it was made known in the neighbourhood of Goree;
a quarrel took place between the King „Of Dame]
and the Maraboos after several skirmishes the Ma-

Taboos drove them back, and carried away with them
from 500 to 1000 head of oh !tle, saying, that as
there was 00 :,ale for slaves, they would not take
their people, but that, as cattle could' be turned to
advantage, they would take them. I had some con-
versarion' wit h a MPS) who took an active part against
the Kir,cr of Daatel : he assured me that the, natives
in theit neighbourhood had no intention of taking
tny more prit•oliers, es they would not sell; but
that the idea that those who might • unavoidably
be taken, would be put to death, was quite erro-

•
nexus.
" Mamaldoo Saani„ a powerful and intelligent
Chief on the river Gambia, told me that he re-
gretted the abolilion himself, as. being the means
of depriving him of some considerable emoluments,
but that he believed, generally. speaking, -.it..i.sould
be of great service to the country. One very
strong reason he gave -was, that the want. ,of
confidence in each other,-occasioned .by the
kidnapping, or otherwise making slaves, oblig-
ed the natives tb be constantly 'alined, and every
man to susped his brother ; but since the abo-
lition, they had already begun to lay aside their
guns when they went out ; and he had no dOubt
but in a short time they would clear away the woods
tom about their towns that were then built ; and
64 in building new ones, they would have them
in more exposed situations, and that he himself had
altered his mind as to the place he had chosen to
build a town, in, determining to build it now on the
banks of the riser, and cut down all the woods near
hint ;,and that he intended, as he knew many other
nativesirlid, to attend as much as possible tocultiva-
tion, particularly cotton, which grows therein great
abundance."

BRIGHTON, AUG. 9.

The Circus has been opened at this place, and is
likely to have a good share of public encouragement.
The Theatre, however, is still the chief objed of
rational protection, and the performance there on
Thursday last has rendered it still more an object 'of
attention. Mr. SEYMOUR, who has published some
Annotations on SHAKSPEARE, which shew• great
acumen, knowledge, and judgment, made his appear-.
ance in the character of Richard the Third. His
Conception of the charader seemed to be materially
different from that of any of the present. race of
Adors. It was obviously his intention to mark the
character with an ease-and gaiety amidst all the Ty-
rant's artful, ambitious, and sanguinary views. It
must be acknowledged that many passages of a sar-
castic and sportive, nature will abundantly justity
Mr. SEvzueua's conception of this ditlicult part. The'
Critics here were „much struck with this view of the
cbarader, and it has excited a great deal of con-
versation among our literary visitors. It is gene-
rally admitted, whate‘er may , be thought of Mr.
Szymooit's notion of the part, that he sustained
it with great spirit, energy, and eticd.—But our
Agriculturists have had a treat as welt as our Critics,
for the Earl of EGREMON.T gave thew yesterday a

MOST EXCELLENT LORD,

It is with the greatest satistatlion that the Supreme

‘‘hich our arms have had over the French army un-
der Generals Dupont, Wedel, and Gobert, they
having laid down their arms, as is set forth in the

your Excellency takes in our most just cause.
The vidory could not hate been more complete,
and there does not remain one Frenchman in An-

three divisions (which, by their own statements,
amounted to more than twenty thousand men), that
has not been either killed or taken pris,mer.

rejoicing is so general and so lively, that an

be the same in your Lordship's squadron, through
the favour which the Spanish Nation owes to Bri-

be expe&ed to see them came. to Parliament for au

Mr. Alderman COMBE thought it disgraceful that.
the Court should be insulted by a notice of such a ri-
diculous tendency.
Mr.WAITHMAN, with great warmth, observed,
that it any motion Of such a description cre made,
he should regret exceedingly that thi, Court had not
the power of expeliing

FRENCH AN .D DUTCH PAPERS.

AMSTERDAM,- Oct. 28.—Mr. MANE, an Officer
of the Ist reghant of •light infantry, and Mr. P.
MORELL, Captain 'of the Privateer Jena, of Dunkirk,
embarked at Ramsgate on the 16th instant, between
four-and five o'clock at
.night, in a two oared beat,
fourteen feet in length, in order to put a period, to
their captivity. During the night between the 16th
. and 17th, it blew excessively hard, and the sea was
so heavy, that it proved altogether impossible. for
them to steer the boat. At midnight, they supposed
to be between Ostend and East Cappel, when they
descried a Dritch lugger ; by dint of exertion they
came within hail of the lugger, and demanded her
assistance, Which they stood much in need of, their
boat being already half full of water. The Captain
of the Lugger, JOHN FENKEN, seeing the distressed
situation of those unfortunate men., used his best
rffforts to save thern-; his humane endeavours', were
crowned with success, and he landed them safe at
Ter Veere.7-(Royal Dutch Gazette, of OEi. 2g.)
ANTWERP, OCT. 20.—The Spanish Consul in this
place has published the following notice:—
" The Consul of his Majesty, the King of Spain,

are found in the department of the two Nethes,
that, in obedience to the orde6 by him received, he
has opened a register for the loyal- Spaniards who
feel anxious to take the oath of fidelity and allegi-
ance to the King, their master. They are, there-
fore, illy:red to appear before him, and take the said
oath agreeably to the form prescribed: Those who
reside ie the departments of the Scheldt, Dyle,

form of the oath, which shall be readily communi-
cated to them. •

GRANT TO THE DUKE OF YORK,

Sir FRANCIS BURDETT rose to 'request in-
formation from the Gentlemen on the other side of
the House, upon a subject -which bad occupied some:
share of public attention. He heard that his Ma-
jesty had been advised to grant large sums of money,
taken from nations v, ith wilom we were not at
war, to his [loyal nighties,' the Duke of York,
He wished to knoW whether this was the fad;
and if so, under what authority those sums were
granted ? •
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
sail, that it was true that a grant of 20,0001. had
been made to the Duke of York out of the hoceeds
of condemned Prizes. The amount of the grant
wag precisely the sante which had been before
made to all the other younger Princes of the
Royal Family. As to the right of the Crown, in
this resped, it was pvrte,'dy acl;powledg,;l; and
although the Ships in quition were taken liefore
war had commenced,
.yet it must bo Teconeacd,
that we were actually at war before they were con-
demned.

',NOE PARK.

Mr. Caxxvia adverted to the advice given to. the
Crown under the recommendation of the Survey.l
General of the Crown Lands, to give leases of cer-
tali, parts of Hyde Park is certain individuals, for
the purpose of building, He expatiated on the uti-
lity of the Park to the Metropolis, for the purposes
of a natnent, recreation, and health, and comment-
ed on the impropriety di recommending to the
Crown to lease out parcels, a.yradice to which there
would be no limit, unless the House should inter-
fere. He adverted to the extraordinary seiettion
Made by Mr. Fordyce, the Surveyor General of the
Crow nLands, for the objects of these grants, among.
persons of great influence in aapolitical. parties. He
hoped his Majesty.would interfere, to prevent the
diminution of the indulgence hitherto granted bythe.
King to his people. and by them in part purchased.
.by the expenditure of the pnbikmoney; on;a late
,occasion not less than 5(4004- for the repairs and
or. ~.kient of those Parks.. He moved that there be
laid before the. House a Copy of a Letter of Mr. For-
dyce to the Commissioners (kale Treasury, recom-
'mending to make certain leases of lands in Hyde
Park, with the answers thereto.

Mr. HANBURY TrtAcEi seconded the motion. -He
censured the plan of curtailing Hyde Park ; but if
the measure was persevered in, he wished the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer iNbuld include him among
•
those to whom;lots were to be-given.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER• objeeted
that there .was no Parliamentary ground for' the tno.-
tion. His Majesty certainly was nut likely to receive
a recommendation on this head contrary to .the Prin-
ciples of regard to the convenience of his subjeds of
the City of London, which he had exercised during
his whole reign. The prbpositiokl for granting these
tracts on lease was before the ,Treasury only since
Monday- last.. No deterruination was yet cone to
upcn it, consequently no cOmMunieation had been
had with his Majesty' upon the subject. But it the
Board of Treasury should be of opinion to • recom7-
tnend the plan to his Majesty, certainly no right of
nomination would be allowed-to the SufVeyor of

which it would expose pers us already labouring un-

French tippets, composed of these materials; together with
white lend, with coloured Spots. or boatels, are amidst the

during these visits great familiarities were observed
by the servants in the houseto pass between the
iiarties; and also, that Mr. Vizi had been seen going
in and coming oat of Mrs. iizett's bed-room hall

The Court, after hearing the Coonsel on both
-sides, was of opinion, that the effect of the evidence
,was sufficient to furnish that competent degree of
proof as to induce the/Court to pronounce that the
taki of.adv.ltery was proved, and accordingly decreel
the remedy which the husband prayed.

PRICE AG:tINST BOSWELL, FALSELY CALLING HER-

SELF PRICE.

This was a ease of nullity 4)1 ►itarriage, brought by
the father, as guardian of Hubert Price, the husband.
against Sarah Boswell, his wife, on the
,ground
.of
minority.

In this-case the evidence clercily established the
061, that the husband in question had only obtained
-the age of rf when the marriage was celebrated;
and, it was also fully proved that the same was had
without the knowledge or consent of the father.
The Court, therefore, without,any hesitation, pro-.
flounced the marriage tu.be null and void.
