Upon which Charge the Court came to the fol-
lowing decision :--

it: support of the Charge, as as.what the pri-

rect;, that the foregoing Charge, together with the

the Marquis DEL ROM,ANA, gave a-lively description'
o Cie intrigues and attempts of BERNAVOTTE, and
his satellites, to induce the Spanish troops in Hol-
stein, before they • heard of thef2.glorious rising and
struggle of their countrymen, to, decar4,-for JOSEPH
BUI,NAPARTE. They held out a long time, _till by
forgerieS,, falsehoods, threats, and promises, they
were reluctantly led to take a conditional oath of
allegiance, acknowledging King JOE, " provided he
were -elec-led by the unbiassed suffrages of the majo-
rity of the Spanish Nation:* 'This, we-are assured,
was literally the terms of the oath ; and so soon -
as they learned the truth, and found that the
Usurper was rejeaed by the unanimous voice of
the Spanish ICeoPle, they judged themselves in
honour and conscience absolvedtfrom its observ-

ance.

" Lieut.-Gen. Baron HOMPLiSCI-1, in the Sulamine
Privateer) of 20 guns, 'arrived in the Farroe Islands
on Whitsuntide M.lnday. The Baron was probably
ififoruted by the treachery of a
.skipper, cf the name
of Hansen, whom he had taken along with him as
a Pilot on his cruize on the'Coast of Noway, that
thcce .vas on the Island 60,000 dollar, value in
goods, money, &c. belonging to the King. This,
as well AS thu Church and Se,ioul Fonds, he imme-
diately demanded, threatening,oiii core of. refusal, to
p!under and sack the placei; 6X:he._ Commandant,
and the persons present, protested against delivering
up_the public m :ley; sbewing tlilititeeottld only be
considered private property, as the Revenues of
the Chore!) had been wholly advanced by the public
to repair -the edifice:. Not withstanding, he took ,the
money, being a 140 rix dollars 4:3 skillings, adding,
that he, as Chapiain on board his own Ship, must
b-.Ater ; that public worship might be ay well
perkrmed in -the open air as in a church ; this the
noire so, as there were high mountains enough in
Farroe, on which one could approach the Lord
nearer. He said to the Vice-Provost,,' Blessed are
the poor i'7--and when he s.eizePhe Sebool-funds of
Thorhurn, he observed, .thait,4le, found the youths
every where well-bred and7pnlightened, and that
they needed -no money for ;their education. The
chest of the widows of the Clergy, containing e 23
rix dollars and 93 skillings, as well as that of the
hospital, containing 43. dollars, he returned ; the rest
of the 5140 rix dollars he kept."

On Monday last the lather, mother, and thrie
children, composing a poor family in the neighbour-
hood of Mitcham; partook of a quantity of fungus
plant, commonly known by the name of the spu-
rious or poisonous' mushroom. The consequence
was, that the three children died on Friday last.—
The parents, being of an age more capable of bearing
the operation of the emeticks and aperients admini-
stered, are it) a fair way of recovery. . They were all
taken ill on the Tuesday ;-.Vieuifavourable symp- -
louts gradually increased, until, medical assistance,
was called, which was'unfortuoaiely ineffedual to
the youngest of the subje&s. The children were be-.
twern 1.2 and 15. The Botanic Professor of the Apo-
thecary's Company attended. to examine the plant
of so destruttive a quality, and at opening one of the
bodies. There was no appearance of derangement
in the entrails ; but some slight inflammation was
visible in several parts of the duodenum.
