visions and Amendments may be necessary

Resolved, That it is the opinion of this ComMittee, that
the present existing Laws, as tat as they are applimble to trie
po.wergiyen to Magistrates to settle. disputes between Mas-
ters and Servants, are defeelive, because they have, by- con-
strualon, been confined to Servants in linst;antitty only.

wOtild be beneficial to the Cornintinity, to epply mans' of the
Provisiout and Regulations contained us those Aas, to all
Menial and Domestic Servants. •

as doubts have arisen whether Magistrates have, by Law,• any
lawyer to hear and determine disputes between KfaioteTS and
Artificers; Labourers, or other Persons, in _cases Witte such.
Artificers, Labourers, and other Persons are. employed .in
Task-work only, or by the Great, it would be expedient to
give. such power to Magistrates.

• no such power should be given to Magistrates, to hear and de-
termine any 'disputes, commas, or agreements, where the
in dispute shall exceed a stint to be limited.

• IT is with- the deepeit sorrow we have to an:
nounce the. Death of Sir RALPH ABLIICROMBY.
Lieutenant CoRBETT arrived yesterday evening,
at Portsmouth, in the Flora Frigate, with Dis_
patches from Egypt, which rlace he left on the
Sth of Arril, and is the bearer, we understand,
of this melancholy news. • , ,
The DiSpitales of General flirrentNtoN, who
succeedecrto ate Chiel Command in Egypt, in conse..
quence Of-the- much regretted death of 'General Sir
R. A/I E it-E ROM-B-3/5 are 'dated on • the sth of April,
from before A/e:va-hdria. The Battle- of the 2 I '-' t
was very Woody, and most gallantly. folight:

hI r:NOU made the Attack with !r,odo mein, the .
whole of his European Force, and was is die end

completely- defeated, with die 14)5 of UPWATAS of
3000 killed and woutided. Our loss, we under.:
_stand, to have been about 1400.

The Briti§h Army had been joined by Soon
Turks frortt.khodes, subseventi to theßattle of the
21st, and the CAPITA? P4I(A. •was daily expefied
with another considerable reinforcement.
• Sir RALPH ABERCROMBY died of his wounds
received in the Battle Of the zist, on the with -
of 'March.

'General HuTcatris'oN writes in very high EpiritF,
and considered his prospc(q of reducing ALeaneir;a
asyery fair., No movement of consequence had
been made on either side from the. mist of March to-
the sth of April, the date. of the GeneraPiDis pa tch.
Lieutenant Coltn.Ept firings with him- a, proof of
our success, in the Standard of BOICANARVE, to
which the Chief Consul, while in tgypt, had given
the title of: Irmincale, and which had fallen into
our hands after theldestrualon of the .vhole Rcgi-
rntnt.that defended • and which was called Bona.
patie's Grenadiert.

Alexandria was not in our possession when the

Flora came away.

Tx r London Gazette of Tuesday furnishes a
strong proof. of the diligence and success with
whici Admiral DUCKIVVRTH and General TarccC
have executed the Orders ofGoverbment- The loss
of.the Five Islands taken in the Atttille., will add
to the • many reason's which Den Mark and Sweden
havefor--regretting that they. ever entered-into. the--
Northerts Conspiracy formed against us by the
Emperor PA' urrandthe Chief Consul ; and the de-
sire of recovering them- will akEi as an additional
stimulus in determining them to accord to us the
r ' e
just satisfatiion-whielf we require. These two
Powers of •the. Baltic- will Beside be taught by
these events, the: necessity of keeping good terms
with us, and this circumstance will henceforth be of
great advantage •t-o'us, both commercially and poll.
tically. Ih at other view, too, is the speedy rediK,
Lion of these Islands glorious and advantageous : it
shewS our Enemies and the whole world, that at
the moment when we were-sending an qctracrdi-
nary Armament into. the Baltic, and when we had
to contend with almost all the Maritime Powers la.,

existence, we were in a condition to divert a part
of. Our Force, and to send it to mirke conquests-ii; a
remote quarter of the Globc.—Such an instance of
our power must inspire our Friends with increal:c d
tonfideoce, and our Enemies with additional feaf—.. I

that if we-did not attempt.to make aurselves.misters
of'tflern during our first misunderstanding with the
Court of Denmark, we are to look for the reason of

We have been accused of aiming at a geqeral empire
over the Seas, and. the Colonies of. the two Indies.
is certain,. however, that these five „Islands
• were bOt difficult Prizes, and if-Our Governinent

t'.juoice, Denmark and Sweden have in the last eight
....years afforded them more than one occasion, and
more than one pretence, for stripping them of their

acquisitions have enjoyedduring the course of this
*.
War; in a Sea where we have enjoyed the most
`sovereign Power, must be considered as a monu-
' ment of Our disinterestedness, and of our love of
'.-Peace and Justice.
