SOLEM QUIS DICIR.E FA.LSUM AUDEAT

LONDON,

FRIDAY, MAY 23, 1806.

CONSIDERABLE doubts are entertained of the truth
of the intelligence brought by the Mails yesterday,
respecting the change in the Councils of the KING
of PRtsslA, and the disposition manifested by that
Sovereign to re-establish the relations of Peace and
.Amity with this Country. These doubts are founded
'partly upon the imprbbability of such a change
taking place, and- partly upon the circumstance of
'the intelligence not being contained. in the Ham-
burgh Paper, as was at first supposed, but resting
merely upon the. authority of a private Letter from •
Berlin. If that Letter should not be thought
worthy of credit, then the • only 'new fa& brought
by the Hamburgh Mail is, that the Ports in the
Baltic are to be opened to 'British Ships, or ra-
ther that they should continue open, for no of-
ficial intelligence has reached this Country of
their having been closed against us. The Order of
the' 28th March, issued by the KING of PRUSSIA,
relates merely to the Ports in the North Sea. It states,
that " In a.Treaty concluded 'between his Majesty
the KING of PRUSSIA and the EMPEROR of the
FIZENCH and KING Of ITALY, it is deterinined that
the Ports in the North Sea, and' also the Rivers run-
ning into the same, shall be shut against English
Trade and Navigation, in the same manner as when
the French Troops were in possession of Hanover."
This certainly does not extend to the Ports in the
Baltic, but merely to those Ports which were
shut against the English while the French were
in ,posseSsion of Hanover. The orderi. there- .
fore, for continuing the Ports in the Baltic
open to British Ships, is only important as it may
tend to sliew the unwillingness of the KING of Nils-
STA to push matters to, the utmost extremity with
this Country, notwithstanding the deciSive measures
adopited by the British Ministry. With respect to
the fa&, of Count HAuowiTz having retired from
the Prussian Ministry, we are not in possession. of
any further intelligence than that which we laid be-
fore
our Readers yesterday ; and though it does not
rest quite upon such good authority as we at first
'supposed, still we are inclined to believe it to•be
true: The discontent which prevailed throughout
every part of the Prussian Dominions began to wear
so serious an aspe&, that it is by no means im-
probable that his Prussian' Majesty might deem
it necessary to make a sacrifice to public opinion by
dismissing the Minister (at least for a time) to
whose advice the present unfortunate situation of
Prussia may in a great degree be ascribed. But we
still. retain the opinion Which we- expressed some
days ago, that Prussia has placed herself so' much

under the cOntroul of France, and-s;6o4•.nitted
he -
self so far, that she cannot now retiiice her §teps;
. *without almnit .&Certainty of a War with that Power.
—The Cabinet Of 13bflin, however, trfay,and (if it
be true that Count HAUG\VITZ has retired) probably
will, t.ndeavour to avert as much as-possible the "dis:-

a,trous consequences which must result to Prussia

from her unprovoked aggression against Great Bri-
tain and 'against Sweden. The vigorous and decisive
measures adopted by this Country and by SWedeli
certainly were not expefted by Prussia, and this re-
. cent order respe6ing the Ports, in the Baltic, and the
14etter written by his; Prussian Majesty. to the King
of Sweden, which we mentioned yesterdziy, were,
,we have.no doubt, intended to produce .a mitigation
of those measures of retaliation which have been:al-
ready so severely. felt in Prussia.
The Gottenbrr►gh Mail, which arrived this morn,..
ing, does not throw any new light upon this subje6t.
The only article of intelligence which it contains is,
that the Prussian Army on the frontiers of Pome-
rania have received orders not to commence any
operationS until the return of a Courier from Paris,.
who is houily expeaed at Berlin.

It. is note confidmly reported on the Continent,
that Louts BONAPARTE is not to be King of Hol-
land, but that Bo NA PARTE'S Brother-in-law, MURAT,
is to be elevated to that dignity.

Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of CAMBRIDGE
and CUMBERLAND left town yesterday for Windsor,
on a visit to THEIR MAJESTIES.

Sir JOHN DUCKWORTH is-arrived in town, and had
yesterday an interview with Viscount Howlck, at
the Admiralty.
On Otlicer arrived on Tuesday at Dover from off
Boulngne, reports, that within these few days there
has been a large Camp pitched on the hills above
Boulogne, and several Troops are arrived 'there ;
they continued pitching'' ents for three ,days, and
the Camp is now nearly as long as it was last sum-
mer : they fire 'on any of our small Cruizers that
come in -.shore to see what is going on ;,,but not
many of their craft have been out in the roads.
The Paris Papers stake, that Sir JOSEPH BANKS
has written.a letter to M. DELAMEE, Secretary of
the) National Institute of France, to inform him that
M. M. LACEPADA and CuvIER, Members of the In-
stitute, ate chosen Members of the Royal Society of
London. Sir JOSEPH, in his letter, is said to ob-
serve,. that• this choice is. a proof of the.respea of
these two learned-Societies for each other; a senti-
ment which,, he hopes, no political dispute between
their respe&ive Nations will ever be able to destroy
or weaken. _

Sir WILLIAM SCOTT'S Ladylove a magnificent
Ball and Supper, on Wednesday evening, at his
house in Leicester-square. The house was formerly
occupied by Sir JOSHUA REYNOLDS, and lately by the
Marquis of THOMOND, who married that Gentle-
man's niece. The fete of Wednesday night .was of
a very splendid description,_ and Was attended by a
la-rge.proportion of the higher orders.

AV. SPARROW, the King's Mesenger, arrived laSt
night in town; having seen' Counsellor SAMPSON safe
on board the Vessel which is to convey him to Ame-
rica.

The Senate of Harnburgh are on the point of be-
ing involVed iii a very serious dispute, upon a -very
trifling subje&, with the KING of SWEDEN. His
Majesty has required; that Jhe Declaration in his
name, and the letters of CoMit LOWENHIELIVI, should
be inserted in the Haniburgh Papers. The Senate;
or rather the DeputatiQn from it, who exercise the
.censurate of the Press of that City, have demurred
to this, 'for fear of offending "PrUssia or France.
The KING of SWEDEN, however, persists,- and has,
it is said, given orders to his Minister'to' withdraw
from that Cie y, in case his demand should continue
to be refused.

The late Lord NELSON, it seems, expressed a
strong desire that in case of his death in the Public
Service, and a consequent provision for his family by
the Nation, that his immediate successor, the pre-
sent Earl, should resign his Prebendary to • Dr.
SCOTT, the late Lord's Chaplaiii and confidential
friend. The present Earl, however, has, it is said,
Most emphatically declared that he shall' not part
with it on any consideration.
It is at length positively determined that L9rd
HARRINGTON shall go to Ireland as CoMmander, in
Chief, for which Country-his Lordship will shortly
depart, attended by his, Staff. Though not finally
settled, it is strongly believed that Lord CAincAit'r
will take the command in Scotland.

The followingappointments have recently taken
place :—Capt. MACKINLEY, of the Quebec Frigate,

FOREIGN INTELLR;EArCE.

" LysEcx, MAY 13.—The Merchants here are
very sanguine that the next Mails. from England
will-bring them intelligence, that the blockade will
be raised, in consequence of the declaration of-Prus-
sia,. that it waS in no wise her intention to interrupt'
the intercourse with England. For.my part, lam
of opinion, that it is, nevertheless, consistent with
sound policy to continue the-blockade, in Order to
leave no opening-for the export of Prussian preduce:
The dissatisfaaion in that country, particularly. in
Silesia, where tlielinen Trade is at a complete
stand, is general, and in a twelvemonth Would-pro,
duce, every -effeel that could be wished: for., I sin-
cerely hdpe Administration Will riot waver' in the
steps it has adopted, but cOntinue them with firm-
ness and vigour. In Bourdeainc the-Merchants are
obliged to resume their exercises as at the height of
the Revolution. I am very much mistaken if a
very tew months do not bring about great changes
there."
GEIEFSWALD, MAY 13.—As a consequence of the
principles laid down in his-Excellency Count VoN

SITTINGS ArNISI PRIES BEFORE LORD ODLE! JIJSTIGS
ELLEN=OROOGII.

CITA MBEUS .V.
This W:as air aelion for an assault and false im•
prisonment. , .
On the part of the Plaintiff it appeared, that the
Defefuldnt was Captain of the Speedy Merchantman;-
and the Plaintiff had been his mate, upon a voyage to
the Coast of Africa ins the Spring of the last year.
A dispute -arose between these parties relative to a
canoe; which the Defendant charged the Plaintiff
with taking. .soon after ' some Occurrence took
place -on board the Ship-, when the Defendant order-
ed the Plaintiff to be put in irons, and after some
confindmeut sent him on shore, 'where 'he sutlered
numerous hardships, At other times-the Defend-
'ant frequently abused . and struck the Plaintiff;
and upon one occasion, when the latter happened
to strike a boy belonging to the-creNV, for some
WhO had at the time -soiree disorder in
his' fiwei, the Defendant .againassaulted him;•.put
him in double irons, and confined him for twenty-
six • days, With an alloWance of one pint of Wafer
per day: Soine declarations of-the Defendant were
also-stated, wherein he expreSsed hiS contempt fel-
Judge and Jury, as he was a man of_property and
chard6ter. He threatena to pUt the Plaintiff 'on
board a Man of War ; but, upon some 'concession
being made to. him, he relinquished his purpose.
,Upon the cross-exaMination, however, it turned out,
that the Plaintiff was, exceedingly riotous' and,diser-
dedy upon the voyage. The Defendant fell into a
dangetouS state of health, and being obliged to re-
main oh shore, the care of the Vessel, NV I hja large
cargo of Slaves, devolyed upon the. Plaintiff„ who
was'sb constantly in a state of intoxication, that the
VeSsel was frequemly in a most perilous situation ;
at one time, when the Ship was in danger, and the
crew, went to let go a second anchor, in order to safe
moor her, the Plaintiff bein drunk,- seizedo,Vo Cut-
- lasses, swore no one should give direetions but him-
. self, and threatened-to open the 'hatches-and let.thd,
Skivesloose upon them: From this very mutinous
condua, the Captain was induced to confine him.
• •Mr.- PARK, for the Defendant, observed;that as.
he did not put in a justification upon the file, and
an assault had been prOVed, a verdict must go against
hiM, but as the Captain :was in such a situation
as rendered it •impossible :for him to give a violent--
asSaulr, ' and from the very outragious cendutf of
the Plaintiff, he trusted the Jury would give moderate-
damages. •
Lord ELLENBOROUGH observed to the 'jury, that
although they must give some damages; yet they
would be guided by discretion. -With such a cargo, .
and so perilous a command, some allowance •should:
be made for the condu& of the Commanding Of-

ficer.
After a short consultation, the Jury found a ver.
did of 201. damages fOr the Plaintiff.

RECORDER'S COURT.

BOMBAY, Nov. 5, 1805,

This day the Court .baving assembled at seven in
the morning, proceeded to the trial of a 'criminal in-
formation, filed at the instance of the Honourable
Company, against Robert Henshaw, Esq. Custom-.
master of Bombay, charging him with having re-
ceived sundry sums of money, amounting in the
whole to 25,000 rupees, as gifts or presents, in the
months of March, April, and May, 1804, whereby,
and by force of the statute 33 George 111. chap. 52
be, the said Robert Henshaw, had,eommitted ex-
tortion, and had forfeited to the King's Majesty, his
heir 4 and successors, the a►hole gifts or presents so
received.. _

A. Special Jury, consisting of some of the princi-
pal inhabitants of Bombay, having beefichosen, Mr..
THREIPLAND, the Honourable Coalpany's counsel,
addressed them on the part of the Crown, ia an ela-
borate and impressive speech of upwards• of four
hours. He then proceeded to bring forward an im-
mense mass of evidence, written, circumstantialyand
dire& ; which bating occupied the utmost attention.
of the. Court and Jury till about half past ten At
night, the latter were permitted to retire to rest;
'under charge of the proper Officer, in an apartment
provided for them by the Sheriff.
On Wednesday the 6th .inst. the Court having
met at nine o'clock, proceeded to hear the, farther
evidence on the part of the presecution, and at two;
P. M. the case for the Crown was declared!to be
elosed. Mr. WOODHOOE then addtessed' the Jury.
at considerable length on the part of the Defendant ;
and the examination of witifeses in his behalf hav-
ing taken up till half-past eleven o'clock, the Jury,
were again inclosed.

On Thursday, the 7th, the Court having assem-
bled at the same hour as the preceding morn-
ing, the Honourable Company's Counsel was,heard. •
for upwards of two hours in reply. After which, Sir
JAMES MACKINTOSH, the Honourable the Recorder,
proceeded to sum up-the eVidence, on both Sides.—
This arduous task,, interrupted only by an hoUr for
refreshment, occupied a period 'from half-past eleven
to half-past eight o'clock at night. The Jury were
then inclosed, and about eleven o'clock returned
with a verdi& of " Guilty, but not to the extent
charged in the bforniation." This the Court
referred to "record, as informal and vague, and con-
trary to the prktice which:Usage had rendered ne-
cessary in all cases of a criminal nature. The Jury
again retired for a further time, and returned with
the same verdia, which the Foreman requested the
Court would be pleased to receive. The Honour-
able the Recorder again explained the- law in such
matters, and informed the Jury, that the Officer of
the Court would, in stri&ness, be entitled to enter
up'the verdia 'they had delivered as a general ver-
, dia of Guilty, rejecting -the words of limitation as
surplusage; but the Court was unwilling that any
advantage should be taken of what did not appear to
be the intention Of the Jury.
The Jury then retired - for the night, and at six
-o'clock Of the folloWing evening, Friday the
_Bth
brought in a verdita of" Guilty on the 9th Count
of the Information,",Whieh imputes the ha.ving re-
ceived 17,840 rupees-from one Manore Rw,Vjee,
as a gift or present,' contrary to the -statute above
alluded to.
The-Jury at the -same time preferred an earnest

.
recoMmendation of tliS Defendant to tic mercy of
the Court.
After a suitable and pathetic address, and advert-
ing to the Jury's urgent recominendation, the Ho-
nourable the Recorder,pronounced the Sentence of
the Court—that the Defendant do pay a fine to the.
King of 17,830 rupees, and that be be imprisOned
until payment thereof.

OLD BAILEY.--The Sessions commenced on -
nesday. The only trial worthy of notice waS 'that of a
- Bailiff's Follower, of the name of Rugg les, who was
Chftrged with havingfraudulently 'embezzled 271. los::

of the Prisoner was, that he had got drunk, and that

that he was in company with several women of the.
town, who had left him a&sooniS-he fell asleep; that
the moment he awaked, be complained, of being
robbed.---The Jury retired 'for some minutes, and
then acquitted the Prisoner.

EXTRACT-OF A LETTER FROM AN OFFICER ON'ECIAC.D
, THE ORFHEIL3, DATED AT,SEAJAPRIL 30.
" On the .25th inst. in the evening, we obseryed
Danish Ship, which was to windward of us, upset;
it was at this time blowing a heavy gale from the
Northward, and there was a heavy sea running ; we
immediately wore, for the purpose of .saving the
lives of the crew, who were hanging on the wreck, .
imploring our assistance, by waving their hats;
as night advanced fast, we were compelled .to leave
"the unhappy sufferers exposed to.the dangers which
surrounded them, as it would have been dangerous
to'have approached the wreck after dark, and there-
fore resolved to cruize for them (if unable to keep-
company) when the weather was less tempestous ;
but the gale continued, and it was not until the
27th that we had a change of 1.-veat4er, when a
thick fog precluded, us from the hope of that day
falling in with her. The 28th, we ranged the Coast
between Bovenbergen and thellorn Reef, but to no
purpose. _ The 29th,. at noon, it pleased Almighty
Ptovidcnce to dire& us to the spot where the wreck
:was, and We had the inexpressible satisfaEtion of
bringing timely assistance to ten Danish Seamen,
'who were almost exhausted, and who had been four
days without.the smallest nourishment.. I am un-.
Able to describe to you the happiness every indivi-
dual in the Orpheus felt."

- Mach has been said of the great- interest of •the-
present Lottery Scheme; its merits certainly are
obvious; the moment, however, is but now arrived
Of its greatest points of interest, and which the first-,
drawn Numbers, on the three next days, will illus-
trate in .the richest.
,style the Lottery annals ever
produced. Prizes of 10,0001. 20,0001. and
to the three first-drawn Numbers are Unprececlente,.!,,
and cannot but operate as such a magnet as to occa-
sion, before Monday next; the: purchase of • every
attainable chance now in the market.,---What
for adventure !
