COURT OF COMMON ?LEAF.

Tit's being the first &ay of Hilary Term the
Court met, but no busi4ss of importance came
before it. During the short time it sat ,it was
principally occupied in justifying Bail.

We have heard from various parts of the Coun.
try, with no small degree of indignationt :that a
Report has been most indusrriously propagated,
that it was Mr. PITT'S intention this year to
tax the Funds of Charitable Societies, or in some
mode to appropriate them as part of the Public
ExpenditUre ; and this Deport has been most as.
siduously circulated in those parts of the Country
w)iere the pressure is most felt of the late deficient
HSI-Vest, and where, therefore, most discontent
may he supposed likely to pievail. It is hardly
necessary for us formally to cOntradid so idle a
Report,. and we should not have noticed it, if we
had not understood that the mischievous ar►d
wicked designs of those who have propagated it
have hid some success among well-intentioned
persons in several parts, of the Kingdom... To
those who assure us there are c►q Jacobins in the
Conntry, *c particularly address the fad we
have stated.

It is confidently stated that the Persons who
have been taken up in France .upon suspicion of
being inimical to the Consular Government, will
not he sent to Cayenne, but to the Island of
Madaggicar.

Thursday evening a person of genteel appearance
(a Maniac) who Says his, name is Paimer.ihnit, was
taken into custody at Buckingham-house, where he
had several times before been troublesome, corning
under pretence of having business with the KING
and l'k INCESSES, At one time he left a letter,
to which Iw, on Thursday, came to demand an
answer. Baker, one of the Porters, very pro-
perly Atsired hith to wait, and sent for Sayers,
one of the Dow Street Officers, who took him
into custody. Yesterday he was examined be-`
fore Mr. KING and Mr. Foal), 'at. Whitehall,
and from the incoherent manner he- answered,
there cannot be a doubt of his being in a state of
insanity. ' He is a man of i very respeetabhc
family, and
,formerly resided at VClaltontupon.
Thames, Where he possessed considerable pro-
,p9rty ;i hut he is •sappoted to have !..quandered it
away. He was committed to Tothill Fields
Bridewell, to be taken partic'ular care of.

CORK, JAN,

..This day the Muskerry Cavalry, to whose un-
ceasing aaivity this part of the country is so
much indebted, brought into town nine persons
charged with sheep stealing, and many other de-
predations. This, gang of marauders it seems,
had for some time infested the country, and had
rendered themselves extremely troubt,..soul;te,,and
'mischievous to the inhabitants in various instances,
of every species of felony. '
