SALE OF OFFICES.

On the taking into further consideration the Re-
port of the Committee on the Bill for Preventing
the Sale of Offices, after a few words from the
'Chancellor of the Exchequer,
PONSONDY stated some objections, as he
thought the Bill bore hard on the Law Officers of
Ireland. •

The CkIitaCELLOR of the ExcHeQuER said, he
should be happy' if the Hon. Gentleman would fur-
nish a Clause to obviate such an evil. Knowing as
he did, more of the inconveniences he complained
of than he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) did,
he might be better able to suggest iprovision against
them.

I have-received your Royal Highness's letter
of the t 7th' oligarch. You are right to believe that
I wish Sweden to enjoy tranquility, happiness, and
peace with her neighbours ; neither Russia, Den,
mark, nor myself, were. eager to wage war againat
Sweden, but, on the contrary, did ,every thing in
our power to ward off disasters which it was easy
to foresee. I have taken -the earliest opportunity
to acquaint those Courts with your Royal :High,
ness's sentiments and views, 'and trust that they will
perlealy agree with me in 'opinion; anti that it will
not be our fault if Sweden should not be restored to.
the enjoyment of happiness and peace.'
As soots as I.shall be informed of the intentions

of itry allies, •T will not fail to communicate thetri
your Royal Highness, Ju the mean time, you %nil'
no't entertain a tloubt of the reSpea which f enter,
fain for your-nation—of my wish for its halipinesd•~,.,

Character of this Work from the Monthly Review of
April last :
" To select from the vast mass of History such portions
as are likely to interest youthful minds, and to answer such
questions as young persons would naturally ask on hearing
them related, is a commendable idea ; and to these objects,
which the author has ably aocoinplished,'are also added, so-
veral very useful philosophical remarks. The historical
part is well written, the' dialogues are ably supported, and
the remarks are judicious. Altogether, therefore, a valuable
work for juvenile understanding is here produced."

MATRIMONY.

FROM the Luxury, Dissipation, Excesses, and
enervating indulgences of persons in almost every rank
of life, proceeds that disordered state of the human frame,
termed Nervous Debility ; the most distressing symptom of
which is an incapacity ,to fultil the great and primai`y object
of marriage. This unhappy state, is indisputably too fre-
quently the gnawing canker worm of the heart, which gene-
rates those horrid ideas that lead to the desperate elimax of
suicide. The genuine STEEL LOZENGES are the beSt
if not tht: only remedy for this, species of debility ; •indeed
Steel is confessedly the rpost powerful tonic and restorative
Medicine in the Universe, and this preparation is proved by
long experience to be superior to all others.
The STEEL 11OZENGES are prepared and "sold by the

COURT OF CEIACERY, juLY iz.

ShARTO V.
. • .
This cause came on in the form of exceptions to
the-Master's Report. The Defendant had purchased
an estate' of the Plaintiff', but had refused to corn,
Otte the purchase, in consegurnce of a defect- in the
title. The question now hefore the Court 'to deter-
mine was, whether the title wasso-defeCtive,. that
the purchaser t ould tir,t be compelled to complete.
the narg.tin. It appeared that the seller of the estate
clerked his title from the late General Prevost (father
of Sir G. -Prevost), who had been a Foreign Pro-
testant, and the possessor of -the estate in cnsestion.
About the year 1756, this Officer commanded what
was then called the Royal American Regiment, and
the question was, Whether be bad. beCome -entitled
to'the rights of a denizen of Great "Britain, and
therefore could purchase and convey real property.
There were two Act s'Of Parliamen t commented. upon,
Vid one et the 13th and the other of the_2d
Geo. JII. which' were_made for. the better encourag-
ing the population and defence of our then North
American Colonies, and which gave the rights of de!.
nizens of Britain to such Foreign Protestant Officers
as had resided seven years in North America, upon
their procuring a testimonial, signed with the seal of
any of tire Colonies to the abme effea, and also ad-
ding that they had taken the sacrament, according
to the forms of the Church of England. Forms of
the ceintican s were ipe'cified'in the Ads of' Parlia-
ment. In this case there was produced a testimo-
nial, signed before the Justices of Pentillirania in
the-year 1756, which stated-that General Prevost had
taken the sacraer.ent, &O. in the way prescribed ;
but it was so tar deficient, as not stating the period
of iris residence in that country,, and not having
affixed to it the Colonial Seal.
It was contended by Messrs. HART and LEACii,
for tare Karma, that there were the strongest pre-
sumptions that General Provast had resided much
longer than si yen years in North America, and
therefore r,art suifitled ,he spirit of the Ad, though
the certificate produced was nut quite regular.

Sir S. Rositt.-Ly contended; that the Act had not

been regi.i.aly complied with, and therefore that it
was in the -power of the Crowii to seize the estate,
an alien having no right to hold reatproperty.
The Lord CHAN CELLoIt said, that were he aaing
as a private individual, he 'should have very Ettle he-
station in accepting the present as a I,qii!cl tick, un-
_ .

der all the circumstances, and Should have little tear
of any interterence on the part. of the Crown. But
sitting there as a Judge, and bound to interpret the
Acts ot the Legislature, he could not say that the
Act ot Parliament had been accurately complied
with, and therdure couli not oblige the' Defendant
to accept of the title and complete his purchase.

THE KING V..' GOLDBOROUGH•

The Defendant was btought up to receive the
Judgment of the Court, he having allowed judik
ra..iit to go against him by default, on an indi-a-
rucnt charging him vh!h..having,iti his capacity of
Post-Alamer. of the town of Veils, Somersetshire,
defrauded the PUblic Revenue, by making false re-
ttnns under the head of mis-sent Letters.

The Sentence of the Court, as pronopnced by
Justice. La BLANC, was, that- the Defendant do pay
a fine of n2OOl. to the King, and be imprisoned in
the Jail of Newgate for 18 calendar months, and
thereafter till tue.fine be paid.'

The Court sustained a claim of cognizance by the
Deputy Chancellor of the University of Oxford, to
try causes in place of the Chancellor, that office be
ing now vacant by .the.death of the Duke of Port-
land. This 'the Court determined, on the ground
that the right conveyed by the Patent was not con-
fined to the Chancellor, but was granted to the
University as a body, and that the claim was made
under the Corporation Seal. ,

POLICE.

• •
ItOW7STREET.—Last night
.Mr. Alley, the Rtr
rister, accompanied by a Centleinan Of the Bar,
attended at this Office, when the former preferred
the fdllowing coniplaint :---.that having taken his
Lady ard two friends that evening to the Lyceum
Theatre, he enquired' at the money-taker .at the
+WA-door, .whether there was room., in the dress-
boxes, and. was answered in the affirmative, where-
upon he paid 24 shillings, and he and his party
weut.ift, but to thofrastooistaneut, the box-keepers
said thece tvos no r9Olll for them.

, On Mr. Alley urging AO them that be.was inform-
e,4l!at.the door that there w:is room, they assured
him tif6st4ositiVely that.there was not, and that they
could-liot give hini.a scat, but that he and 1).14 party
the upper. tier. of boxes. "This," said
4 , /4. Alley ‘.`l could not do, knoWing the order
fbaares -that occupy seats there, where no
'ttiodett: woman can safely shew her face."—
'He then stated, that that money-taker, told
him what he had been informed by the box-
..-keepers, weir desired that his , money might be
returned., This was refused ; and being deter-
-Mined, as a public,rnatter,to haVe this affair investi-
gated, he solicited the. Magistrate's interference, as
in hi Mind he could not look on the transaction as
any thing short of obtaioing-money under false pre-
tences.

Mr. BwdQp, whoi happened to be sitting near
Mr. head in the Offiee, 'obSert ed to .Mr. Alley, and
to his friend, that the money-taker was not
,acting on
his ev, n account, Or receiving the 'money- for his
own 04e;- but.for that of his employer'; they both,
however, answered, that in law, that circumstance
made no difference as to the offence and Mr., Alley
took that occasion to observe, that on an oocaSion
nearly when another species of It and v,;:is
tempted on biro at' Covent-Garden Theatre,
,by one
of the Deputy Box-;-keepets, he, Mr. Brandon
so;:, considered it his duty to interfere, and to have
- .
-.the offending person discirargt-d.
Mr., -ALLEY when proceeded, and added;. that the
money, as fir as it merely reiatekt4 him,
.was by
nb -means the objeet" of his &infOlairii.;" his object
, was, that it being, in his mind, a matter wherein,
„te Public 'was interested, he considered it a duty
that he owed the Public to have such an affair hives-
tigated,
Btit Mr. READ took up this observation'and said,'
that he did not think that he had aoy jurisdiction in
the case, ~for if Mr. Alley " supposed" there was
inen the charge of obtaining the 24 shillings
under false pretences was not supported.
Mr. ALLEY .again .contended, tnat whether he
might have " supposed" that, or arty thing elseoret
as he neither could get his seat or his money, he
was entitled to. Magisterial consideration.
Mr. READ thought otherwise, and so the matter
rests for the present moment,

tire from before them, could they in a crippled state,
with the wind blowing fresh, at N.N.W. have got
to the anchorage latterly taken up by the Imperieuse,
Pallas, and Aigle, under such circumstances ?
A.. If a vessel so situated had lost her foremast, she
certainly could not have got before the wind ; and
without having good way, so as to have been per-
fe6tly under command, she must have drifted to the
S. and E. which would have taken her up the Cha-
1-ante or upon the Palais.
Q. Was the battery on the Isle of Aix low. enough
to admit of its being destroyed by the guns of ships ?
A. On the south side, not on the south-west side,
they might.
The PRESIDENT then acquainted Lord Gambier
that the Court would call no more evidence, and
asked hirri. if 'he wished to call any in consequence
of what the Court had bnquired into since his Lord-
ship's defence. Lord. Gambier expressed his wish
to have some little time allowed him, for the consi-
deration of this permission the Court had granted
him ; and the Court accordingly, it being three

President intimated it was. not likely the Court could
come to their decision at the present sitting.

TRIAL. OF LORD GAltalEß.

StVFIITI-1 DAY.

Admiral Stopford; it his own deSire, was Calied
in to corie6l that part ef his evidence in which he
had stated that the explosion of one of the fire ves-
sels was so near to.the boats of the irriperiense, th.it
one of them ..bad been very much damaged. He
omitted to state that bi)th' the damaged boat and the
other which accompanied, her; were pickerLui> by
:the Lyra. He was then questioned by the Gault.
Gl-. From the time of the arrival of the Corn-
'mander in Chief in Basque Roads to .the time of hiif
leaving it, can you state any instance of. his negleti:,
Iniscondtia, or inattemion to the public service ?--
A.,So far from it, that it always appeared to me
that the -COminander In Chief was anuated., by a
warm zeal for the service, and-an anxious desire to
Flischarge the duties 'of the service entrusted to him
with punEtua,lity and care.

Lieutenant HAwKiNs examined l:y the cwt.
Q. You have said that on the 14th of April a sig.-
nal was made by the Imperieuse to say, that the
enemy's ships might he destroyed The si-mal
made by the Imperieuse was; that " if permitted to
remain can destroy the enemy:"
Q. To whom did you report- the making of that
signal ?—A. To Sir H. ,Neale, Captain of the fleet.
Q. Do you know whether any thing was done,in
consequence of it believe there were some
launches sent in by the Admiral. Vessels were
passing to and fro, but I do not know what they
were sent about.

MESSINA, SEPT. 23.—0 f the Expedition 'tftider
t
'Sir John Stuart, which paid a visit to the neighbour
hood of Naples in summer, and of its subsequent
return to Sicily, you must have heard long ago; bUt
of some particulars connected with that Expedition',
and which ought to be known, you are probably
still ignorant. The intention of the Expedition teas
,to land near Naples ; and it is prettily generally
known in the army, that an insurreaion bad been:
planned among the inhabitants, who were expeaed
to co-operate with our troops. Unexpeitedly, it
would appear, the framers of the insurgency-de-.
mantled to be informed what order of things was in-
tended to be established in the event of success.—
To this the party on shore 'were answered, that Sir
John Stuart could not consent to any thing but the
restoration of the old Government. In consequence
of this answer, the leaders replied, that they would
not promote an insurreaion for such an object ;. and
the Expedition ended in disappointment.
I happy to inform you, that Captain McCoy,
who was reported to have been killed in the Expe-
dition to-Calabria, is in good health. He was taken
prisoner, and is now here on his parole from Naples.
He is going back again.
This day a new Expedition sails, but its destina-
tion is a secret. It consists. of the 35th regiment of
foot, 44th ditto, two cotnpanies Corsican Rangers,
one company of artillery, and 25 dismounted inen of
the Both light dragoons, the whole amounting to
about 2000 men, under the command of Brigadier-
General Oswald. They take camp equipage with
them, but no battering cannon. They sail, under
convoy of the Warrior, of 74-guns.
The force now in Sicily, quartered North and
South of Messina, 30 'miles each way, consists of
the following 'party of the Rua), Artillery;
20th Light Dragoons, Grenadier Battalion, Ist Light
Infantry Battalion, 2d ditto ditto, 10th Regiment'
of Foot, 2.lst ditto, 27th ditto, Ist and 2d Batta-
lions, 35th ditto, 44th 4 liao, 58th ditto, 62d ditto,
8-Ist ditto, De Watteville's Regiment, De Rolle's
Regiment, Chasseurs Britanniques, Dillon's. Regi
ment, Royal-Corsican. Rangers, :3d Regiment King's
-German Legion, 4.1), Battalion Calabria Free Cot ps.
61h. ditto ditto, Bth ditto ditto, the whoie amount-
ing to 16,000 men, of whom. about 1000 are on the
seek list. This season, however, has beryl much
healthier than the last. No officer has died for a
Considerable time.

nion that she was.steering for a French port.—Con-
dernned. _

Goode Hoope, L. PIETERs, Master.—This vessel
under Oldenburgh colours, laden with brandy, bound
from Rochelle, to_Hull, was captured br a man of
war on the Rochefort station: She sailed under a
license, which bad expired.- The, 'Court observed,
that under the obstrottions existing in respect to the
commerce of this,country, the-most liberal constrac-
tion should be given, 'to instruments of this na-.
ture.—She was, therefore, ordered to be restortld
with freight and expences,. on payment of the cap-
tor's expences.
Mercurius, PnaTEßs,_Master.—This vessel, under

On Saturday night, about ten o'clock, the shrieks
of a man were heard by several sailors on board of
ships lying off the new quay, North Shields.—Boats
instantly went to his assistance, '..but before they
reachedlthe spot,- the voice, which had so piteously
craved assistance, ceased. It is supposed the peraoii
had'gone to the bottom, and that he was a ) oung
man named Wm,. Bruce, belonging to the Ann and
Isabella, he having, gone on shore that evenipg,•,and
has not since been heard of. A bundle, iti which
was a quantity tat tea, sugar, &c. was found near the
spot in the morning. .

htOt4TILLY REPORT FOR JANUARY,

The second severe frost and heavy fall of snow,
in the course of the month, proved' injurious only to
the growing Wheats on the lqw lands, which hare,
been flooded by the succeeding thaw : the datiutge
thus sustained, it is feared, will prove of a serious
extent. The Bean and Pea dibbling, which was long
interrupted, has been resumed in Kent and Essex ;
but the general sowing of all Grain of the Pulse kind
Must, of course, prove unusually late. The'weather
admitted .of little or no progresi in any branch of
husbandry till towards the close of the month. The
Wheat comes freely to market, and average prices
continue low : this is principally to be ascribed to
the intended continuation of prohibiting the distil-
lalion from grain in England and Scotland for ano
ther year; although tbes restriaion, it is understood,
is to cease its prohibitory Operation on the landed'
interest of Ireland: T bete is an uncommon demand
for Flax Seed, for the Spring sowing of the three
kingdoms ; the demand for Ireland alone is estimat-
ed at 50,000 hogsheads; but the extreme frozen state
'of the Baltic will, it is feared, prevent her receiving
this necessary supply. The Hay Markets have had a
rise of about los. per load ; but Straw remains at
a Moderate price. Lean Stock of most kinds are
lower, from the general scantiness of grain food and
fodder of. all sorts. In Smithfield, little or no varia-
tion of prices, for prime veal, Mutton, or Beef :
Pig Pork is somewhat 'dearer. The Wool Markets
. are considerably better for fide fleeces of Soutlidown
'and Merino kinds; for long wools there is but little
demand.

EDINBURGH, JAN. 30.

We lately mentioned a number of tar barrels,.&.
being thrown ashore upon the coast of Crail.
.Last
week there was a trunk found, fait lucked, .and'
strongly Koped ; after being opened there was found
in it from cool. to 3001. in cash, a gold watch, seve-
ral dozen of fine muslin shirts, a esumber of panta-
' loons, vests, &c. &c. It was foubd by two men,
who thoughtlessly opened it kw ithout witnesses being
.present-to see it opened. Its contents, however,
were, no sooner dlscovered than they informed
the Chief Magistrate of it, who took charge of it.—
This certainly indicates that some vessel, yet un-
heard of, has-been wrecked on that coast.

One of the privates of the Edinburgh Afilitia, who
had been employed as a labourer on his Grace the
Doke of BUCCI:RUGH'S estate; at Castlesteads, on
Saturday last, during his/dinner hour, having gone
to procure some brushwood for firing, while in the
act of cuffing a rotten branch, fell from the top of a
rock, 30 or 40 feet high, into the river below, which
beingtompletely frozen over", he was killed instant,
ly, his head being immersed into the ice, and lit-
terally 'split in two. He was first discovered by
Lord Home and Sir CHARLES DOUGLAS, who got
shim home to his house.—He has left a wife and OE+O
children to deplore his loss.
