ZRIAL PARLIAMENT

House OF PEERS.
. • s.
THURSDAY, JUNE 9.

The House was occupied in a Committee of Pri-
fileges on-the Banbury Peerage, from two till nearly
Ave o'clock.. -Several witnesses were examined, and
Sir 5.-ROMILLY and Mr. HARGRAVE were heard as
iCounsel for the Claimant; after which,, the further
consideration of the claim was postponed till this day
sennight. .• •
Lord RADNOR moved an Address to Ms Majesty,
praying' that direetions be given to lay on the table
what further documents may be still found relative
to the claims of the Banbury Family.—Ordered..

The Bilis 'on the table were *forwarded a stage
each.

BLAND's DIVORCE BILL.

The LORD CHANCELLOR left the Woolsack, to de-
dare his opiniOn of the merits of this.case. The
Noble and Learned Lord recapitulated, and com-
mented upon, the different branchei of the evidence
which had been produced at the' Bar to induce their
Lordships to grant the favour sought for by the Pe-
titioner. From that evidence it would,appear, that
Mr. Bland has for a considerable tithe lived in open
prostitution' and adUltery, in the King's Bench Pri-
son, with a woman who& he suffered to take the
name of Mri.Bland,`and towards whom he behaved
in-every respea.as' his wife.. Although the.plea of
adultery was not always admitted by the wife
against the husband, yet this was one of those cases
which in his eyes fully authorized this plea. He felt
it to be his bounden duty to mark such cases ; and
thOr Lordships wbuld, no doubt, feel the propriety
of c6ncurring with him in thus vindicating the purity
of the public. morals ; with that view he should now
move, that the Bill, be rcjeaed. The Noble and
Learned. Lord then resumed his seat on the Wool-
sack, and put the question, that the Bill be rejeled,
and, it Was rejeaecl without ,any opposition.—Ad-
)ourned.

itiA.‘'CHESTIf;li, JUNE 14.

. Notwithstanding the report circulated on Satur-
day;. .
th.st the retra:Aory Wearers. intended coming;
this day to this towo frorn all the neighbouring
plicea, It is with Innch'pleaNure I inform you, that
nothing of the kind has uceurred. .

_ .
Yesterday, in the afternoon, many groups of
weavers were observed at and near New-cross, New-
ton-hoe, &e. but ;they dispersed in. the evening,
without indicating the least disturbance: The case
was quite otherwise, however, in that part of Man-
chester commonly rolled New Town. .About 200
men divided themselves into small parties of seven
or eight; eacly, and are snid• to have actually stopped
every, loom in 'that neighbourhood then at work,
threatening the industrious workmen with severe
punishment if they persisted in their emPloyment,
until every demand was complied with. This, lam
told, was L'one in. So quiet and sudden a manner,
-to elude the vigilance of both the-civil and Military
s
power ; and it seems, is to be their future pa
of op::rations, gangs being' appointed to elecute it
in 'their respeCtive.diitricts..
Should such, be the real fact (but I do not pre- 'I
tend to Oeuch for it), the cOnsecrences may shortly
'beCoine much inure 'serious that any thing that :has
hitheito happened. The stoppage Of the weaving
hi'anch, will necessarily suspend the 'employment of
the cotton-spinaers, printers, dyeri,- fustian -
cutters-, and Other dependent workmen. Many 0d
e:160ml Constables have been sworn in, some •of
whom accompanied 'by Dragoons, are daily' sta-
tioned at the various outskirts or avenues of the
town, in order to protect weavers coming in or going
°tit with their work.—Patroles of Dragoons are like-
. wise constantly upon duty.

FINANCE COMMITTEE.

Mr. WHITFIRISAD rose for the purpose of putting
aAnestion to -a Right Hon. Gentleman in his eye,
the answer to which appenreu to hint necessary tin.
the satisfadiow of the public. As the Session was
drawing to a close, it yeas desirable to ascertain whe-
ther or not the House and the Country were to,ex-
ped a Report from the Connnittee, at the head of
which that Right Hon.
.Gentleman. so worthily pre-
sided. iturnonfi were afloat, that 'a Report of a very
important nature had been decided upon in the
Committee. He was sure ,the Right Hon. Gentle-
man would not take it ill to be :bus questioned on
the-subje& •

Mr. BANKES, While he allowed that the question
put by the Hon. Gentleman was a perfedly fair one,
declared he hardly knew how to answer it He
could only say, fo'r his' own part,,nothing had been
wanting to enable the Committee to lay, before the
House their Report. During the present Sessign,
almost every hour which had not been occupied by
his duty,in the HOuse had been devoted to;his duty
upstairs. ,SO far beck as before the Easter recess,
he had laid before the Committee the materials of a
Report, whach Was complete as far as it related to
himself to nlalie it so. Unfortunately a considerable
difference of opinion existed in the Committee on
the subjeciof that Report, snd thddiscussions.upOn
it had- proCeeded'to a Much greater length than could
have beensexpeeted or foreseen. These discussions
still contained. Nothing should be wanting on his
part to bring theM to a speedy termination ; the Re-
port might be laid on the table of the House to-nor!
row, and he should much lament if the'circumstances
he.bad mentioned should operate to delay the pre-
sentation of it beyond the present Session.
Mr. WHITBREAD thanked the Hon. Gentleman
for his candid explanation, •and disclaimed the slight-
est intention to impute any blame to a Gentleinan
who was entitled to the complete confidence of the
House and the, country. Mr. Whitbread was pro-
ceeding 10 .speak the iregtet he felt at learning the
probability that no Report from the Finance Coin-
mittee would be presented during the present Ses-
sion, when be..was called to order by the Speaker,
who observed that there was no question before the
House.

t-
The Scotch Sudicatufe Ed! was read a second
time, and corrintitted forthwith; a long discussion
ensued on several of the clauses, in which the Lnrd
Advocate of Scotland, Mr. Horner, Mr. 'Boyle, and
the Chanc.ellor of the Exchequer participated. The
House having been restarted, the Report was receiv-
ed, and ordered to be taken into .consideration on
Monday.
The House went into the further consideration. of
':the Report of the-Cu'rates' Bill. The ArnendMents
were agreed to, and the Bill was ordered to he print-

that gave rise to the discussion, and ask themselves

RAMSGATE, APRIL 22.

By the orders. received here to prepare for the
embarkation of the troops which are to sail from
this port, it is settled that they are to arrive here in
single battalions in succession, and be embarked as
soon as they an ive. A part of the Transports which
are to receive the- infantry have
,atready'come into
harbour, and more Are-k.Ni..7sed'by .:SIVEy tide, till
:the .whole number shall have arrivcd:The
barkation will commence on Sunday, the .c4th 'inst.
with the 2d light infantry battalion of the Ger-
man Legion, now on its march from Battle : the
Ist Light lain* Battalion of the, Le inn, whiLh
was lately at Hastings, will next be -embarked ; then
the Ist, 2d, sth, and 7th Batullions of the German
Levan, in succession. They are now on their
route from Bexhill. The embarkation of these, one.
Battalion daily, will nut be finished till Friday thq
29th instant. •

The tst Bolt4liOn of,the 5t.,(1 Regiment is expea,
ed to be next embarked. Wednesday last it was
cotupleted to its fall e:tablishment, by a draft of
about 300 fine picked wet) from the 2d Battalion.
Other Regiments ofßriti,ll Infantry ‘vill follow; in
all about 10,0u0.

Of the Cavalry to be embarked here, we have as
yet only heard of the 3d Light Dragoons of the Ger-
man Lt:gion., commanded by Colonel Barrin R MAN,
about 800 strong—a very Corpsfine. :it is now quar-
tered At Ramsgate.

The 32d litTgiment; at present at Canterbury!, re-
ceived orders on Thursday to he in readiness to
marchiat a few, hours' notice to the coast for embark-
ation. The second Battalion of the 78th, now at
Canterbury, was ordered' to march toChichester, to
make roomier the 20th, which was e)yeded from
BrabOurne Lees ; but the march of this Battalion has
been countermanded, and hence' it is supposed that
it is not destined for fofeign service. The Infantry
of the Line in the Canterbury District consisti at
present of about to,nw men, the major part of
whom are to be embarked.'

Destroys the texture of your patriot dreams.
In vain you publish that you're firm and true,

It is highly important, that in making ails decla-
ration of his Majesty's firm adherence to the general
line of policy which, upon dtie consideration, he has
adopted, I should expressly_neclare his Majesty's de-
termination not to submit ilia maritime principles
of- law acknowledged and aged upon by Great Bri-
tain, under any circumstances, to any mediation or
revision.

No, V.—Extraa of a Note from Lord Mulgrave to Count
Woi.,ozol,v, dated Uowning.street, Tune s, tHos.
The received and established principles of maritime
'law, 14 which the power sail prospeVity of the
Country are supported and promoted, are newest to
the heart, and in.ost rooted in the attachment, of
every British subjed ; and no Stdtesman could be
found in this country Who would recomMend or
jo,,tity the reference of these great and essential
principles to auy mediation or revision. The pro-
posal, therefore, of snch a :revision and discus ion
could never meet with the .approbatlon or assent of
his Majesty. And Lord Granville Leveson Gower,
as his Majesty's Ambassador, discharged an obvious
awl indispensable duty ip the decided resistance to
this -propu,sal, and, in itsultimarn reiettion.

Jones, one of the patrole,
.charged by Mr.. Butler, a.
respectable_ charaaer, the principal,assistant of Mr.,
Wirginan, the goldsmith, of St.. James's-street,
with robbing him of upWards of 201. by extorting
the money under a threat of charging him with a
detestable crime. .

A great number of circumstances were detailed
by the prosecutor,_ to prove the means used by the
prisoner on and since the Bth of_August last, to ex-
tort money from hitt. He was at length induced
to apply to this Office, and was advised, if the pri-
soner qame,again, 'to take him into custody, or send,
to the Office. ' On Monday a,qernoon the prisoner
again made his appearance, and was desired to call

THE KING V. WARNER AND PERRY.

This was 'an information, tiled by his Majesty's
ATTORNEY-GENERAL, against the two Defendants, •
for assaulting and obstruiSting Edward Bennet, an
Officer of the Customs, at Selsey.
This also turned out to be a very trivial affair.—
The' Officer and his Assistant being on the watch,
heard two boats dragged on shore, near Selsey-hill..
.They immediately went down to the beach to see
what it was; they saw the two Defendants leave
one of the boats'; they, searched the boat, but found
nothing in it ; `they then -pursued 'the Defendants,
and took' from them a bag of coffee; in doing this
they made some. resistance, and one of them put his
hand against the Officer's breast--This was the
whole of the assault.

The LORD CHIEF BARON observed, that, in poin.t
of law) this was a resistance, but what degree of
punishment it deserved was for the future considera-
tion of the Coutt. The Jury found -the Defendants
Guilty. .

,This was an aiTiiou to recover a penalty for a
breach of the Game Laws. This anion was found-
ed on the Statute of the gth of Anne, cap. 23, -sect.
2, which gives a -penalty against.. any unqualified •
person having game in his possessiOnyand:makes
the mere having of it evidence of an exposure to
sale.- Mr. COURTHORPE having •stated the law, next
produced.evidenCe of the tad, which was proved by
two gamekeepers, as folloWs:77That-beings t4e
watch early in the morning, they heard the screams,
of a hare, upon .which they looked about, and
dis-
covered a hate in a trap, not far .trom the cottage of
the Defendant ; they lay-in wait, expecting. that
the person who,set the trap would come to see what
it produced : they saw the Defendant cometO the;,
trap and take the hare out : Upon this they came
out of their concealment, but the upon,
seeing
them, threw the hare away, and denied that .he had
had any.; they, however, found the hare at a little
distance froth him.
. .
_ Mr. Serjeant' BEST subtiiitted to the COurt, that
this was, not sucb.a—poSsession-.as" the "Act meant..
when it made possession an exp6Sure to sale.
The Learned:Judge, on 'referring to the Ata,
Glared he did not wish to extend the Game Laws,
but the words were so very positive,' he d,id not
know how tclget over ,thena. It, in. express,
made all possession of game by an unqualified per-
son
an exposure to sale.
The Jury found- the Defendant Guilty. The A 3-•
size ended at about two. o'clock.

which gallant enterprize, concluaed and headed
himself, he got the- rank of Post Captain;. and
there is a .clrcumstance attending this Officer's re-
port of the,aaion,,which ought not to be kept from
the public, as', it shews how much modesty is ever
attendant upon true courage. Upon his landing at
Sheerness, and reporting to the Port .Admiral (Ad-
miral ROWLEY) the arrival of the capture, he for-
bore to speak,of himself, nor was it until. the Ad-
miral. questioned him as to what Officer, Concluded

SIR 4RTHUR TVELLESLErs EXPEDITION.

A LETTER FROM AN orFicEtt IN SIR A. WELLEsLEY s
EXPEDITION, OFF OPORTO, MONDAY, 25TH JULY.
" We sailed from the Cove nn the 12th instant,
Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY left the fleet two or three
days after we sailed, and went to Corunna. He ,
Was received by the Spaniards with the highest
respea. The Spaniards and French have fought
three battles, two of them were decidedly in fa-
vour of the former the third was rather in fa-
vour of the latter-. The Spaniards have kept pos-
session of all the guns they Wok, except two. Ge-
neral WELLusi..ty was treated with -a grand illumi-
nation .Att EngliSh Frigate put into Corunna a
few nt
hours after hi, with a million of dollars on
board, for tl a be of the Spaniards.
"We appeared off Corunna on the 22d. Sir A.
Wtr.cEstAY joined, on the 23d. We arrived off
-Oporto this morning (the 25th). None of the
Ships have anchored. Sir ARTHUR is gone into
the town. 'The batteries are jut now tiring a sa-
lute. I suppose it is for him. The French have
no army in or near Oporto; but they have eleven
thousand men at Lisbon ; for • which place I fancy
we shall proceed immediately on Sir ARTHUR'S re-
turn on board. We expect to be joined by General
SPENCER and his army, which is about four thou-
sand ; with this force I expect we shall give. the
French a drubbing. Three o'clock P. M. the signal
is just made for sailing.
MONDEGO BAY, JULY 26.--" We anchored here
this morning. Sir A. WELLESLEY is gone to the,
Tagus, in scorch of Sir C. COTTON and General
SPENCER : I dare say the troops will not land until he
returns. There is a town here called, Figuera de los
• Ventros ; it is 87 miles north of Lisbon ; there were
1000 French quartered there a few days since, but
they have retired to Lisbon.
JUL' 3 t .—" Sir A. WELLEsLry returned here
yesterday ; he has been off Lisbon ; I have not
heard the result of his voyage. We received orders
at ten o'clock last night to hold ourselves in readi-
ness to disembark at half past six this morning. It
is now ten, and the signal is not yet made. Gene-
ral JUNOT has issued a Proclamation to the inha-
bitants, holding out great inducements to them if
they will join him against the English, but denounc-
ing every species of vengeance against then:), should
they give us the least assistance. It is now said
that -JUNOT has 'fifteen thousand men -in Portugal ;
ten thousand of them are French, the remainder are
composed of every nation ; but when General
SPENCER pins we shall not care how soon we close
with them. Farewell, pray for us; though when
you receive this all will be over, I trust, happily for
England, and gloriously for me and my 'companions
in arms." ,

Crown Side, yesterday, left town early thislnOrning.
The Cuter B;RON, went into the Civil Court,: and
finished ail the causes about two o'clock.

RAYNER, V. MOORE.

This was an action to recover compensation for
an assault: -
Mr. Serjcant BEST, in his opening speech, repre-
sented it as oneof a, most brutal, and aggravated ma,
Lure, in whichAthe Plaintiff had been most cruelly
beaten, without ,the smallest provocation ; when
the witnesses were examined it . however. turned out
to be as follows :-The horse of the. Plaintiff strayed;
into a field belonging to . the Defendant,: who had
impounded him in his own stable. The Plaintiff
insisted that he ought to carry him to.the parish
pound, and came with an iron bar, threatening to
break open. the Defendant's stable door, ut.on which
the Defendant pushed him off his premises. As
soon as the Plaintiff got off the. land of 'the Defend 7
ant, he turned round and gave him a knock 'down
blow. The witnesses stated; .that the Defendant,
when he drove the, Plaintiff Out of the yard, did not
do it. in
,the most gentle way, but gave hiin several
kicks a posteriori,. •
Mr. Serjeant SHEPHERD.Said, the county .of Sus-'
sex would have fine work if such actions as these
were to be brought to the Assizes. It was a most
trumpery affair, and, taking two shillings from his
pocket, he said, oue was a good one, and the other
a bad one—and he believed the only question would
'be, which the Jury would give as the amount of the
damages. The witnesses, it was true, had stated,
that the Defendant had given the Plaintilfsome few
kicks on a tender part; but it was rio less true teat
the Plaintiff had avenged himself by giving the De 7
fendant a sound pelt in the 'bread-tasket and after
thus balancing accounts 'on the spot, he wag a shabby
fellow to bring the present action. ,
The Learned Judge, in summing up; observed,
that both parties-seemed to be wrong. lt was not
a neighbourly thing to impound a neighbour's horse
he had done no.great mischief ; and, with respea
to the assault, one had received a kicking, and the
other a knock-dowrr blow: If there was any balance
due, the Jury would settle it. Verditt for the
Plaintiff—Damao-es is. •

NOVEMBER 4.

WOLFS AND WORKMAN V. TANNER AND TOXL4NSON.
This was an action of assumpsit, upon an account
between the parties, to which there 'was 'a plea of
.
non-assutupsit, and also a 'plea of usury. _
Mr. SL:rjeatit SHEPHERD, foi• the Plaintiffs, stated,
that this adion was brought by Messrs. Wolfe and
Workman, emit-rept brokers, to reco, er the amount
of the balance of an account due to them from the
Defendants, Messrs. Tanner and Tomlinson, un-
der the following circumstances c--Mr; 'Tanner
was an eminent ship-builder,
,resident at Dart-
mouth, and had entered into contracts with Go-
vernment for the budding of vessels, to a very
considerable extent. tieing in want of an agent in
London to transact business, he had applied to
the Plaintiffs on ' that subject, who themselves
agreed to undertake his business, accepting his
drafts, and receiving his payments from Government
on account of his contracts. In the course of their
dealing, they had advanced to the amount of 60001.;
about this time, in the- year f 804, a partnership
was, set on foot betwen the Defettdai.t, Tanner,
and Tomlinson, the latter of whom was to be
admitted to a participation of the benefits arising
both Irons flee contracts then existing, for build! '
ing ships for Government; and also from such
as should be made thereafter, upon the ad-
vance of 10,0001.; of which 60001. which had been I
advanced by the Plaintiffs for the use of Tan-
ner, formed a part ; upon this foundation the busi-
ness went on as before, the name of Tomlinson
not appearing in the business, under thecause con-
tained in the deed of partnership; and the bills being
drawn on Tomlinson, by Tanner, as if they were se-
parate parties ; tiles atfairs went on till the year
iilo7, during whin between 70 and 80,0001. passed.
through the Plaintiff's hands, for the balance due
upon which this action was.brought, and for which
balance it was contended the Deleridant Tomlin:ion
, was answerable equally with the other Defendant,
although the partnership deed was not executed un-
til the end of the year 1804, he having by that part-
nerAip all the advantage arising from the prior con-
tzacts with Government, as well. as those which
might be afterwards entered into; with reaped
to the plea of usury, he could not conceives how
that could be sustained ; where agents traritud-
ed a vast deal ot: lau.siaiess,for their principals, it
was but fair they should be paid commission for
their trouble, as well as interest upon their ad-
vances, unless it wasinade manifest that such com-
mission was a, mere colour for taking usuriously
more than legal interest on their advances. In toe
present case, the agreement between_ the patties
was, that the Plaintiffs should be allowed five per .
