DTIBLIN, Smut 10.

•
A. cause of considerable moment, some time des.
pending, at the suit of the Honourable and Right
Reverend Dodor Charles Lindsay, Lord Bishop
of Kildare, as Dean of Christ Church, against Ig-
natius Cusack, of . Grange, in the County of
_Doe.
lin, Esq. came on to be tried at Nisi Prins, in
the recent sitting after last Term In: the Excite-
Buer, before the Right Honourable Lord Chief
aron O'GRADY, and a most respectable Special
Jury of the County of Dublin. After the talents
and ingenuity of Council, some of the most emi-
nent at the bar were alternately displayed, and 0-
erted for their respective Clients, and the evidence
addUced in support of the case of, each party be'
lug gone through and a most able and impartial
Charge given in his usual clear and prompt manner,
by the, Chief Baron, to the Jury, they retired only
fora few minutes, and found a verdict - for 'the De-
fendant, which seemed to ati-Ord very general fans-
fadion.
This trial (which we regret we can at present
only give but an imperfect sketch or outline of, Oil.-
fered from the usual form of LW RepOrtS) occu-
pied the whole day, and from the. respectability Rua
chatatter of the putties concerned; and .the tua"'
rots auditory it drex together, it
.appeated to exo
cite no small de,„f:ree of public interest, prineipsi-
IT as (41frctilig, the properties of the Defendant,

l''Cl:tra.rlCesuiFsari zell, senior, aCreathOrn, tenants to above 30U acres of the lands
of Deans-Grange, near Stillorgau, being of
the .passessiens of the Deanery *of ark( Chute°,
which is annexed to 'the See of.Kildare,. and Cie
object of the suit appeared to be, to evict the Oases
of the Defendant, Mr. Cossack, and said other pet' .
sons, which, it was stated, they obtained from the
late Dean, Dodor Jones, in the year 1786,1'40
and openly tinier the opinion,ot eminent Coungelf
when the lands were in an uncultivated wastestate,
and the validity of which lea,es the present Peon'
Doaor Lindiay, questioned, c,,tisidering,that the late
Dean exceeded the pow eis vested in hitn.uythe At of
Parliament, ant horiz:ng.. hint to demise said lands.
There had been we learn, muu7l previous proceed•

presented to Parliammt, and petitioned against by
the tenants, as being injurious to their rights.

The Duke of littuNswtch. had raised his standard

• . Neptune, arrived here this morning from Marti-
iliquo. On: the I 9th ult. he lett the York acid
Captain to the Northward of the Mona Passage, to
eraive rep. days for the French Ships Courageu.z. and
,•Polonaise,' which escaped front the Saintes. 13y ace
COUftts from Guadaloupe, the' Felicitki Frigate had
collpleted her lading of sugar and coffee, and the Fu-
rieuse was nearly laden : they ate both armee enflute,
and have 200 rit,. a each on board. They are moor-
ed close to the beach at Basseterre, tied have troops
trout the shore every eight to proted them, fearing
An attack from our Frigates and Boats ; which; I
. understaud, was intended to be made on Tuesday
last, by Captain BEAVEII, of the Acosta, with three
other Frigates and Boats. T fear it will be a san-
guinary atfair, the enemy being well prote6ted by the
bieteries,,and, as I have before said, assisted by
troops.
Notwithstanding we are in possession of the
Saintes, the enemy have, within .a few days, suc-
ceeded
in.relieving Guadaloupe; two Corvettes, one
of 24, the other of 18 guns, having arrived from
Boordeaux With troops and provisions. The Pam-
pee, with her prize the Abercrambn .(formerly the
iluntpoult) has arrived at Antigua.
The hotneward-bound trade has been colleed 'at
Torola,,,eaiting the arrival of the York, which is to
convoy them to England, with the Circe and Nar.
cissus Frigates; but as the York was to go to Antigua
front the Mona Passage, to vittual and rest, the
Meet cannot get away fbr some days to come.
BAReenoes, MAY 5.---The Princess, Charlotte
Vrigke.ran to the Southward of this Island with the
cork Feet, and reached this anchorage after a beat
of three days; many of the Leeward Island Ships
bore up for their destinations, but I have not hoard •
of any accident having befallen them.
The homeward-bound trade from this island call-
ed at Martiaique on the 27th ult. and proceeded for
Doeninie,J on the 28th. The Hunter, for Londoe ;
Pigifint, for Dublin ; and the George and the Cale.
donio. tor Liverpool, joined at Martinique. His
Mleesty's ships Narcissus and Circe take the trade
to England. We have yet no certain account of the
sguadrtat froth L'Orient, which escaped from the
Saintes on the 14th ult. except that the Furieuse and
l'eticite frigates got into Basseterre, Guadaloupe,
and landed 280 troops. The frigates were lying
under the batteries of Basseterre on the Seth ob.
blockaded by the, Jason frigate and smaller vessels.
The eueiny have three privateers out of Guadaloupe,
viz. Jean Bart, of 3 guns and no men; Supericure,
2 guns. 70 men; and a Felucca of 1 gun and 5U
men. Since the capture of the Saintes, it would
appear almost impossible for the French to get into
Guadaloupe. That island is in a *retched state ;
the number of troops does not amount to 3 000. It
would be a very ea>y conquest, as the inhabitants
are weary of 6:Lir situation. . • •
ANTIGUA, APRIL 30.—The Morgan Rattler,
Cap'aitt Fousren, from Bristol to St. Vinceuts, is
re-taken, and sent in here by the Ileums, Captain
WATT; she was taken about three weeks age; by
the Belle Zioile, French Corvette, from Marseilles.
The Corvette was chased into slay Mahout last.Wed-
neiday, by. Captain Wan', and when the Jitlorgan
Rattler left him, he was chasing st schooner, said
to be the Corvette's prize. . The convoy is under
weigh, but I do not think they will leave St. Tho-
mas's till the Sth of May; indeed,:every thing de-.
pends on the Admiral, from whom we have had no
account since he went after time L'Orient squadron,
Which escaped from the Salutes.
Our 6nntnanders are dismantling the Saintes,
and in a few days the forces will return to head-
quarters.

Numberless Americans continue to quit St. Bar-
thulotnew's, and the neighbouring islands.

FIIIEND:TO HIS CUONTRY.'
Ttt length of the Parliamentary Debates, and
the important intelligence front Op,. Continent, have
fur some tune prevented us from noticing those pro-
oldie Press, which deserve public attention,
and are calculated to enlighten public judgmei.t,
but it is our intention during the approaching reces*
to regime this departMent of our Journal, and •to
render it as acceptable as possible to our Readers by
the variety, as well as intere,t, of our communica-
tions. The mania of Reform by which a certain
band of mischievOut cbaratiers who affect to disclaim
any conneelion with Ministers,•
,or Opposition,
though opposition to the measures of, Government,
whatever they may be, has reached such a height,
that 'though it may be not be attended with danger
to the State, yet it Calls for the corret9ive hand of
every man who is really,sensible of the blessings of
our venerable Constitution, and whO, of come,
flrillit be anxious to preserve that matchless political
edifice id- unimpaited strength and security. The
author before us belongs to this respetable order of
genuine Patriots, and we deem it ,an as of public
duty to give currency to the following extract from
his manly and enlightened trsa.. •

" I will not assert that the existing institutions
of this country are pet-fed in every part; land that,
they might not in some points adrnit.of amendment.
All human institutions are liable to;itnperfeaion,
and posiibly the House of Commons might be bet-
ter constructed than it is at presettt—posSibly it
might be better, were the members who are re-
' turned for close boroughs fewer, and those who re-
present tit more extended constituency increased in
number. I will..not absoltitely' say that in the ab-
stract it might not be so; although, for my part, I
am inclined to think with those:who oppose any
change in the constitution or construction ot Par-
liatneat, because in a change of that kind it is, in
my mind, at least a matter of doubt, whether you
may not Jose in the first instance—secondly, you
weaken that deference , which is paid to the esta-
blished order of things—and thirdly, by consenting
to a first change, you may be led oh involuntarily
to °triers. Upon thiS subject the. first authorities
have differed in opinion. I shall not therefore at-
tempt to decide upon that question, nor is it ne--
cessary on the present occasion ; but this • much I
can safely and contidentlyaffirm-wthat at no former
period of 'knish history was the voice of people
more justly attended to by every branch of the, Go-
vent tnent, than at the present day.
" At no former period was your personal liberty
better guarded or More respected.

Private pruperly► Was never more completely
secured against the vicissitudes and dangers, to
which it is exposed in every other country of Eu-
rope.

"" At no.forrner period was there a more strictin-
vestig:irion into the expenditure of public money,
which is' necessarily so much extended by. an una-
voidable war, arid 'consequently the more liable to
abuse in the inferior departments of its manage-
Itlctit •

" The finances of the State were never better re-
plated--neyer. did they rest upon. a more stable
toundat ion—never 'were they better calculated to dis-
appoint the views of the French. Ruler, who avowed-
ly ,totinded his chief Imp of effecting your destruc-
titinopon the failure of your revenue, but who now
has been compelled to abandon than unsustainable
and worn.out argument..
" Never before (great as their achieveMents have
been) dkt the bulwarks of your security, the,British
Navy, and that Army'which the agitators would de-
stroy, arrive at the high pinnacle of well-earned
glory, where they now stand in the estimation of an
admiring world. •
At no limner fieriod did the Tyrant of the Con.
tinent, powerful as he is, so completely despair of
succeeding, by dire a means, in his efforts to deprive
you of that true freedom, security,. glory, and hap-
piness which you now enjoy, and which render you
the envy or the millions whom he has enslaved.
" There is not. a roan of common sense, and com-
mon honesty in Country, who will not admit the.
truth of these positions : and is this a (IMP, with.
these blessings in glue' enjoyment, and. in the
midst of a fulionS and extended warfare with, tile
most formidable; the West treacherous, the most
subtile and active foe of whielrhistury furnishes an
example ? Is this to agitate anabstract ques-
tion abotit a Reform in. Parliament, which, (end as
it may)
_must necessarily, agitate the public mind ;
create contention of the won extensive, nature be-
twixt parties, of oppdsite opinions and interests ;
withdraw the attentiou.of Goveititnent and the Lc.
gislature from measures of defence, and open a door
for the agents of Ihionaparte to enter iet the shape zit.
Reformers, decorated with the false oolunrs of Brit kti
paqiotistu ; to create that coufusiou, by means of
which. alone he can ever hope to, sueceed.in...theut-
tack he has so long meditated against
,01.1
" Is this a place, or a time, for the people to
complain of want of influence, when the Sort of
your Monarch must submit his conduct as a public
onicerto legal investigation, and resigns his official
situation at the shrine tint popular opinion ?
Is this a tune to say the _liberty of the itibjeCt
is intrenched upon, %then the incendiaries of the
present day remain unpunished for those, proceedings
yibich.nt, regenerated France, or any of her Ilas*al
states,. would most4ssur:dly have brought them un-
der the axe of A real yuctitibber ?

" No-;-but it. is a tune for. every' true friend of
hii country promptly and boldly to stand forth in
defence of ail that is dest and valuable in society.
it is a time: for you -to convince the revoiutionists,
that no mask they can assume is sufficient to hide
their deformity; and that although you will always
be ready to shew your thspleabure at public abuses of
any kind,, you, will nut allow that displeasure to be
used as au intrurnent by them to effect the ruin of
your country."
