THE RIGHT HQN. WILLIAM PITT.

and. sapient comment on the' present3tateof Parties,
in which it graVely informs its'Readers (how will
OUR Readers take this ?) " that Mr. ADDINGTON
had-waitesi on Mr. Fox," concludes with an ex-.

Sir FRANCIS BURDETT may, feel hmiself qualified

we leave_ it to hinrancrtO the EditOr of The Morn-
ing Post to deteethine. • . •
•

We confess ourselves, on the contrary, glad that
this important cause has been deferred till it can be
heard'. before a full Court. From , that Court,
which. has already decided on every part of the De-
fendant's condua—since the 'commencement of the
,Wa-r, with very -little difference of opinion, we
niay venture confidently to anticipate a favourable,
andahuo,sti an unanimous, verdia on the aggregate.
-Let-the.c,harge be Made when it will, and whatever
may be thi talents of the Advocates retained in its
support, we are satisfied that it will only afford new
lustre- to the Defendant's measures and character,
and bring new shaine and disgrace .on the. Plaintiff
and his abettors.

But, to be rather more serious, - What are we to
understand to be the objed•of this doughty-Chain.,
pion of the.lnterests .of Great Britain ? is it to :
prove, that the late Administration, provoked . the
War ? Should he-not be satisfied with our referring .
him for an Answer to the irresistible Arguments iti

,from , several able
Pens, but
.above all, .fromthat of the Rev. 171.E.R
EET MARSH, we may lie permitted to bring to his
lecolleion the dying Confessions of the Author *of
the War—the Sainted BRISSOT. Does lie.- nietni
accuse Mr.' PITT .0: having
`failed, or 41t113 9
been sucdessful in, the prosecution of it ?Either
coarse is open to him.; though we should the.
tittc-r the most congenial to his feeritigs,-Jafid' the-
rtiosteoiis stem .witklus avowed sentiments during
the whole'progres,s:of it. .:That we have failed in
Continental Obieds, is undoubtedly true ;. and no
less so, that such Lilure has been exclusively owing
to-the indecision and imbecility► of some 'of Our
Allies, and to the. treachery and base desertionof
-
otliers.' In every single enterprize, which has ,
been direded solely by British Councils,, and in
which British Arms have been solely employed,
we have been uniformly, and without one exception,
successful. The Energy which planned, will never
fail to be combined with the Viilour by ‘vhich,those
SUccesSes have been attained ; they. wi11.40 down to
grateful posterity, when the .name ofStr F. BUR.
UE TT shall be forgotten—or, if not forgotten, shall
I?esernembere- d with rather a different sentiment.
We have often been charged with MiniSteriitl
'servility ; and have not Often thought it worth our•
while,to repel it. We have giveh our conlial.sup-
port to two Governments, at the head of one of
which was Mr. PITT of, t4e other, is Mr. AD.

COtjar OF COMMON COUNCIL.

YESTERDAY a 'Count •of Corn Mon Council Was
held in the Council Chamber, Guildhall, present
the LORD MAYOR, wave Aldermen, and upwards-
of two hundred Commoners, including the Sheriffs,
Recorder, Common Serjcanu, -and other City
cers'.

The Reader of the Court haVing read the Pro-
ceedings of the last Court, which were confirmed,
Mr. JAMES Dzxom said, he was extremely sorry
le-had omitted. to move the Thanks to the Right
Hon': Lord KEITH,' Sir JOHN HELP-iitJtCHINSON,
Sword of One Hundred- Gttiiittis value, by
letri'ring out the words, " The,FA4dOwt, and a Vote
`Of Thanks to the gallant Army sei‘ving in Egypt."
He then reqUested permission to amend those Reso-
lution's, by adding those words ; • which Was ap-
proved, and unanimously agreed to. He also
moved, that the Freedom of the City, and a SwOrd
of One Hundred Guineas value, be -presented to Sir
JAMES SAUMAR fit, which received the unanimous
approbation of the Court. -

The Committee for letting the City Lands pre;
sented. a Report fot3 an application to the Legisla.
ture for regulating the Wholesale Dealers in Fish
at Billingsgate Market, which was read and agreed
to,

Mr. FRANCIS GARgATT renewed his Motion for
petitioning the I-louse of Commons for a General
Survey of all Grain throughout,the Kingdom, from
which Bread is made. Mr. Girratt repeated his
former arguments, together with several additional
and substantial reasons for putting the Corn Busi_
ness under survey, but firmly declared his aversion
of submitting
_it to the Excise Law:), and proceeded
as follows

When, at a former 'court,l broncYht forward
the proposal, which I now shall submit to your corr.
sideration, our proceedings were stopped by the
retreat of those who disapproved of 'the measure ;
but:l trust that I shall now obtain a fUll and patient
hearing. The obstacles then thrown its my way,
have neither altered my opinion, nor deterred me
iron pursuing 'the steps- which I. have taken. The
more 4 consider the calamity under which the Poor
have „laboured, the more I am convinced' of its
alarming magnitude;. and,Aie,extent to which it
spreads in every direoio.
",It is not only thetyper4lAare affe&ed. Their
distresses indeed are such ;as Ought to call for. Out
chief attention,, and-render every gther corisitiera.
tion cOmparatively trivial: and the unexampled
patience and fortitude with which they have borne
their sufferings,
.cOinttiand alike our admiration and
our gratitude. -- •
" But I forbear to dwell on a topic which has
`bein-so frequently discussed, and I will call your
attention to arguments, which, though of less mo_
ment, may perhaps prove more convincing, and more
fully persuade you of the extent of the evil, and the
necessity-of a remedy,. The 1-ligh Price of. Provisions
will in the end affea all Ranks of Society ; it will
ultimately bring uin on .the Rich as well as the
Boor ; it will destroy our ManufaCtures,
our Commerce, and even shake thefnadations of
our Constitution.—,-For these two last Winters, our
Poor have been relieved by voluntary contributions,
and charitable eatnblishrilenta ; our. Poor Laws are
intended to promote the same benevolent purpose;
but, though these institutions are eminently philan-
thropic, and; have saved the lives of many bf our
fello.w.creatures, they unavoidably break that spitit
of industry, by which the English Nationis distin-
guished and- supported.
" When 'once the honest pride of Independence
is extinguished, the great spur to exertion is blunt-
ed, the vigour of the mind is overpowered by me-
lanehOly, indolence seizes the unhappy,vAirn of
oppression, and both the mind and the body become
a prey to sloth, stupor,• and misery. Thin is the
necessary. consequence of that nefarious system,
which, by withholding the necessaries of life, and
demanding an e.ro- tbitant price for all kinds of Pro-
.
(I)i:tons, reduces innumerable famileseto whom cheat-
ful industry once furnished a Comfortable mainte-
nance,' to have recourse to, tht offers of charity.
- •
"1 do not exaggerate.-4 haim ewitnessed the
.
distress. which now pervades .our manuladuring
towns and villages, in different parts of the king-,
dom:''..-1-lad you seen the dismal change which has
. Wiceo plate.within these last three years; the num,.
berless families, which once contributed to the.sup.
port of the State and the maintenance of the Poor, .
now reduced lathe situation of Paupers, and become
a burthen to the Community ; our Gaols filled with
Debtors and Criminals, Who have been led into this
misfortune, not so much by their own extravagance
or depravity, as by the pressure of extreme want :
I say, had you seen this, there would be but one
voicein this.CQUTi. The Overseers in every Parish
. can bear testimony to the same deplorable truths.;
every where the Poor Rates. have rapidly increased;
and insome-places from i ss. to 355. in the potn.4.
;If then this is the state of the Poor, What Must is
the_ consequence-; Those who ate 'able to obtain,
and willing to accept, relief from theZtrish, or -a .
charitable Society, will no longer exert their for/
mer .industry ; and those whose generous spirit•
cannot brook oppression, will emigrate to fcreigrt
.countries. Already numbers of our Coun;ryzileo
have quitted-their native- land, and- sought refuge
•in America. Now Peace opens the communication
with.Fonce; its greaser vicinity will afford a More
powerful temptation to ao emigration, which
not only impoverish, this Xingdom, but enrich and=
instruct our rivals; which will not only depress cur:l'
ManufaCtures, but exalt those of our Nelkilbours'
and Competitors..
" Some ,plan must therefore be adopted, by which.
Industry may' be rendered independent of Charity.

vernment should be in possession of the Quantity Of
Wheat in Great Britain, and also-of the of
acres sown with Wheat for the ensuing crop, which.
indeed constitute the principal part of my intendeti
Motion:

"It appears by -the Gazette or • the tlthisi
.gtist, 1796, that Wheat, for Middlesex, was 753..
91 , per quarter, and that the quarters loaf in
the
.following week was 71d.- (This was prior to
Mr, Alderman sitttiNElC,s AEI.)
•" On the: 7th November inst. Wheat, for Mid.:
.dles"ex, wits 675. 7d. per Qttarter,as appears bk. the
Gazette, and the Quartern Loaf, -in the following
to4d. This Assize ;is set according to Mry.
Alderman:SKINNER'S Apt, which pa,c(l..on the-4,th:
July, ..1,797. It is evident that Bread is now
111 the Qoartern Loaf higher than in Aug.. 1796,
notwithstaikding• Wheat is Bs. per Quarter lower
,
than at that time.

" It also .leatly appears,
,that the present mode
of fixing. the Price ot- Bread,_ without takingointo
the account the price of Foreign Flotir, must be
produ&ive of a further injury to the Public-; a;
such Flour is, no doubt, used by Bakers in general.:
The weight of Foreign Flour imported within= the
last twelve months, is equal t0...304.,000 Sacks and—
upwards, and, which bas been sold at to to zs .pbr.
Cent. under the, price of English Flour." - .
Mr. Alderman Hi B B E RT,..in a very able speech,
seconded the .Motion ; whioh. was very strongly
supported by Mr. SAMUEL DIXON, Mr. KE.MB L
MT. DORNFORD, Mr. Alderman LE MESUBIER, ,
and Mr. HARPEE.

After ,a Debate. of .upWards of two hours on the
,Subje4, abet. the Question being put, :it was agreed
to refer it. to the Provision Committee, assisted by
,the Law Ofiicers, to jraw a Petition to Parliament,_
against the next
_Court; and Mr. G4RR ATT ,WAS,
appointed one of the said C'omtnittee.
Mt._ SAMUEL Dixox moved, that a. Petition tbe
presented to Parliamen!-, praying that the Prohibi-
tion to distil Spirits from Grain, ..be continued for
six Months, from the Ist of Jan. I 80-2, until 14
pays after the neit Sitting of Parliament ; •which
was Seo9ded,,byglkjr.frCENtß LE.,:and agreed to, and
a Petition was or;iered to be .prepared ; and the
City Representat4es in Parliament were ordered to
support the Same.

' idlIF REPORT:

CO.UkT-OF, KING's (BENCH, Nov. 27:
TIIE IKItiG 'V. ,MOCTMVAIN.
„ ,

rro RNEy G tc.l have
made.. inquiry. respeaing the -circumstances
are-stated in the 4-Vtidavits read or. behalf of the-
Defendant,:who is now standing before your Lord-
ships for:judgment. I belieee there is considerable
r6son'to. tie convinced'of: the trath,Of the mttelial
circumstances,stated iii these Affidavits, which were,
66 that-the:Defendant, at a period- of considerable
peril, that a the Mutiny at the Nore; had rendered
considerable service as a Volunteer, in quelling that
Ktioy." .1 therefore wish, my Loris, that this
which 'was a deliberate at of the Defendant's
may have its effed against: that which took-place
when he was in a condition, in -whicb•he Was not"
able to deliberate, but which savours ()Thad habits':
I wish this good a!t of the Defendant, may have
its full effect upon-this occasion. While:l say thi!;
in favour of the Dtfendant, I should also add,' that
the Public cannot he too thankful to the Worthy.
Alderman who brought this Prosecution for card,
and by .whose-exertion it was:brought to its }resent
stage. Under the consideration of these cirahn.
stances, perhaps, if this Defendant enters into a
Recognizance-, ...and that which lir has to offer, I
understand, is ample, he may be allowed to goat
large. I hope, that coupling all these considera-.
tions, with.that which the Defendant has already
suffered,: your Lordships will think the purposes of
Justice 'will have been satisfied." "
The D..!fendant then entered hitt; his own Recog-
,
nitance in cool. and two persons of credit in that
Cif 2501. each,_for the Defendant's appearance, this
day three years, in Court, if called upon, and in the'
mean time to be of good behaViour.--4lscharged..

THE RING 14.• WEST.
This was a Prosecution against' the Defendant,
John Clayton West, of which we gave an account in
our Paper of Saturday, when hevas brough; up for
Judgment, and cntutnitte& •
'1 he. ATTORNEY GENERAL said, I should state
to vOur Lordships, that in consequence of. the di-
refiion'of the Court,
.to inquire, into 'the circutn-
sta.nees stated in the Affidavit of the Defendant;

and W. them before the' Commissioners of the
Adtriirafty ; they 'have been so laid; my Lords, and
they -havebeen sent do-.n: to Portsmouth, and your
'Lordships - will remember, that the .Defendant's
Atifcrairit stated' it to be an inveterate practice in the
Captains', and-other.OfficeLs, to set their
names tO.Certificates of "the sort which -is now-: be_
. fort fobr.Lordships. Thar.wai.the Defence which'
this Defendant has had the hardiness:to make upon •
this, occasion. My Lords-, .when.this case was laid
before the Lord.; of the Admiralty, they thought it a
duty. incumbent on them, ,for the honour 'of 'the'
Serviee,.and the satisfaction of the Public, to Make
instant inquiry into the pra:tiee which the Defen-;
dart has made the ground, of his Deffnce before.
your Lordships : .accorditty)y they, sent down_ to
Forqmouth, and to Plymouth, from both..which
.plares„ I believe; but, certainly fiom Portsmouth,
there are answers:—l have the answer of no less
than eleven honourable Officer, Admirals.and Cap.
tains in the Navy, and they wholly, deny that_any
such practice ever obtained to their knowledge, nor
do they believe its existence at all., I have.like.
. wise the Affidavits of -several 13Urscrs, and others,
to the same effeet: The 'Wen4atit has stated, that
Mr. Grove, and other GMtlernen, did know that
he had set down their
.names to the CertiAca.te, and
that they had permitted hint 'to stet down their
names. I have also -an Affidavit stating, that one
of these very Gentlemen was present at the trial. of
this Defendant, in another case similar to this, in
which he w,ls, some how,' acquitted,. and • that the
pefendint did not venture to ask that Gentleman
that cre-stion. ,
Mr. Justice Gitost sa7 ', he had soMc recolleelion
of that. trial; whiph took place'befOre him, lie be.
lieved, at Winchester.' That catisse, some how or
other, bloke down in the middle, from, some de:.
feet. '

Mr. ATTORNEY GEKERAL.— ct Mr.. Grove
proves, that the Signatnre.of that Certificate is not-
of his hand-writing. I understand, thy. Lord, that
the acquittal, at least, it is so stated to me,
,very
much surprised your Lordship.".
Mr. justice GROSE.—" I do not, know how that
was—it certainly was an acquittal."
Lord KENYON.—" The Affidavits you allude to,
Mr. ATTORNEY GENERAL, have nothing to do
- with the case now before the Court. From 'what
was staid in the Defendant's Affidavit, I.thought.
ie right that the Lords of die. Admifalty might know
the Statement, that they might order an Inquiry to
be made into a Practice, which, if trite, would have
tefletted on the honour of the Service ; and that
they, as Most assuredr-y they would, "Should endea_,
your to put an end to'such practice, ifiteirsted : but
still, that has nothing to do- with-die case now be-
fore us."
Mr. ATTORNEY GENTRAL.—" It 'was really
the wish of the Admiralty that this slanderous im,:•
potation should not test:tapom the-Service ; and, ray
Lords, I do hope your Lordships will think that the
person who stands bet Ore you,. who -has sotgrossly
and impudently, in the shape of a Defence, slander-
ed the Service,, which he IS convifled Of betraying
his trust in, is, in the opinion• of the Court, ,a Lt
stibjed of an infamous punishment,"

inch was the nature of your case as it appeared on the
part, of the :Prosecution ; it was but just; however,
that we should hear what you, had it.) say in nniti-
gation-We have heard, and attended to it care-
fully. Thave attended catefully 'to. the contents of
your affidavit ; 'it is urged there, that the trial did
»tit conic on when you were prepared to enter pro-
perly on your defence, and that when it did .come
on, you_ were unable, on account of peCuniary,,ein- ,
bartassment, to.'defend yoUrself: if you had really
. a gliMiner ofhope by any defence which you c(:ind
have set up, you.couid 'have do reason to despair.
God 'forbid that your -convi6lion should have been
founded on your distress : but your second trial has
totally invalidated your assertion on the former,
and has proked yOu 'completely gnilty: it has been
urged by you, that the faEt of which yonare con-
vitted, is the praEtiee':of the. Officers of the Navy,
that t' sign amchers, as you • havedone, oicertifi-
eines of goods furnished for .the use of the King,

very difficult to believe that assertion, ,and I am
very glad His Majesty's ATTORNEY GENERAL. has
authority to contradict it-; a tale meaning nothing
else than that there were among the honourable Offi-
cers of the Navy two daises of dishonest men, Who.
.carried on their iniquity with ease,- for 'it.. requiri'd
only that. the one should- commit, and the other
connive -at forgery and fraud ; if it were' so, it

"In your...kffidavit there
,are stated, circum-
stances that plead, eloquently and powerfully, to

border -on each other, 'and—that mercy, however
amiable in theory and engaging in the abstract. if
not guided by discretion, will operate as cruelty
both to the Public and td the Individual—To the
Public; by the effed of.a greater crime ; and to the,

SMUGGLERS.
? THE KING V. DAVIS AND. OTHERS.

.:rIie.ATTORN*EY GENERAL-TOOVed Art Judgment
oltheCourt against the Defendants Edward Davis,
William Dunk, and William Kennard, persons con-
.vided of 9bstrutling a Revenue Officer in'the due
execution of his duty.
The case was tried before Lord KENYON, at the
last Assizes4or the County of Sussex; when it ap-
peared,
.that tikerelvere between fifty and an hundred
persons in the, aft of resisting the Officers of 'the
Revenue, and that a dreadful scuffle „ensued, that
the conduft; of
.the Smugglers, of whom the De.
fendants were the Leaders, was altogether desperate,
and that tho.,Dofendants had attempted,•att the trial,
to support
_their defence by perjury, by
.endea-
vouring to prove an' Ali6i ; but that the Jury gave
no credit. to their Witnesses, and" found them
_guilty.
After all the Affidivits were read this day in
Court,' it was endeavoured by' the Learnld Counsel
for the Defendants to shew, that there' wete shades
in the guilt of the parties ; that the Defendants
who had 'Counsel, namely Dunk and Kennard,
were lesS guilty titan Davis, who had no Counsel.'
• Lord Kt.NYON—"You see what a Case this is.
Here Are between fifty and a hUndred persons in the

as of resisting tlie:Minister of the Law,by4arce..—
should be very sorry that, the idea went out. of this
Court, that the parties,, ip this illegal ad,,,are not •
equally guilty—certainly ,they are all in par; de:
.100. Not only are they all equally, guirty-in con-
. stru4ion of laW; but ought to be. so considered -in
' common senge, because they are so-in' point of fii&.;
,11hey tome under the case pdt by my Lord HAt,i,
aS the &reatest of all terror to thePfficer of the LaW :
n;resisrance cum This, LS.
,the
tp-ror 'of the People against the execution of the
H-T. never heard of'such a Case as this."
The: Court then ordered that Davis should be'
committed to -Horsham gaol, and Dunk and Ken-
r:ard to- Newgate, and It they- be brought up the
secilnd day of the next Term to receive the judp
meta' of the Court.

The ATTORNEY GENERAL moved for leave to
file a Criminal- Information against •a Gentleman
whose name we did not hear, for a liberon Mr.
COultmari, as we understood the. name,.a Magistrate
who lived in the distria of Lindsey in the county
of Lincoln, who was a Carnalisioner under the
IncoMe Tax, and the libel was said. to have been
upon this Gentleman for what he did in that cha-
ra&er. Unless this pralice was checked, the .:.\T-
ToRNLY GENERAL said, the ,duty of these; Coln_
missioners would become-more burthensOme than it.
was already. TheCoMthiSsiOners_ofihe affairs of
Taxes thogght this a fit subjea of Prosecution_for
the benefit of the Pyiblie, by proteaing from insult
those wholiad to enforce the just colleztion,o.f those
duties by which the Legislature had dir'eaecl the
ReVenUe to beraised.
Lord VIENYON said,, he remembered a.Case, in
which the then Attorney-General, Mr.. PRATT,
made a Motion like this for leave to file a Criminal
Information.itgainSt a person %%Ito had libelled an.-
other in' the exercise of his public duty';. and Lord
MAtvsFIELp said, that as this Was an application'
to 'the di,cretion of -the Court, it could not . be in
litter hands than-those• of the ATTORNETGENE-
RAL 'himself, -and that he might, if' he thought the
Case call,At for it, :file-a
-Criminal Information' him:

GENERAL'might exercise hii discretion, and if he
thought the Case called for file an Itiforma-
