11ESTAILYSTER MEETING.

Yesterday morning a' considerable number of per-
sons assembled at the Crown and Anchor; in the
Strand,
,io_order to proceed to the nominatiOn'of
prOper c'enlidates for the representation of the City
of Westminster. The Company was miscellaneous,
and though there; were probably many persons who
are really intitled to vote for that City,- there ,were
an abundande of others who were not; and certainly
no inhabitant of consequence sufficient' to take the
lead on so important an occasion as the choice of
•Representatives for the second City in the British
Empire. A great confusion prevailed, arising from
the wishes of some of the company to nominate Sir
FHANCIS BYaw.UDETT and Mr. Et. xonjointly, and
the, endeavours of others to support each Candidate
situ ly. Mahy persons spoke upon the occasion, but
nothing was said worthy of recording; nor was any
thing done deserving of notice, except that this di-
vided bo.ty came to two different decisions, as
they have announced in their respeetive,advertise:
ments, one of which declares that Mr. PAULL has
forfeited all pretensions to the honour of being
coupled with the Baronet ; and the other proposes
to have them put conjointly in nomination as fit to

UDINA, APRIL 10.—YesterOay morning, at four
o'clock, the Viceroy of Italy arrived upon the Ve-
netian territory, accompanied, by the Minister cf
by Count WArTENsr.Ears, first Aid-de-Camp
to the King of Bavaria, and several Otticrs of
the Household. We exped every day to see his
Highness within.our Walls, for the purpose of re-
viewing the corps Under General BARAGUAY
LtEtts, which is encamped in the neigll'oourhood.
After the •reviewing of these, and the rest of the
corps destined far Dalmatia, the whole Ar.nv, it is
said, will break up, in order to pass through the
Austrian territory in sthall columns to Dalmatia.
SEMLIN, MARCH 24.—The Austrian troops upon
the frontiers of Turkey are about to concentrate
themselves, and by the end Of April to forM three
small camps, viz, one in Transylvania, another in
the Bannat, and the third in Croatia.

Ain the 12th of March about 180 armed Servians
passed the river Save, and entered the Austrian ter-
ritory, after having tbrced the line of denvrcatiu:2,
where they fbund nothing more than a feble ad-
vanced guard. A numerous detachment of A.
strians, however, very sooty advanced against tile
Servians, when their Commandant declared he had
do hostile intention, and delivered a letter from the
Governor of Belgrade to the Austrian Otlicer.,
ing ordered to return from whence he came, he
immediately obeyed. The last letters from Bel.
grade exhibit a dreadful pieture of the cruelties exer-
cisedin that city by the Servians. It appears to be
their design to massacre all the Musselmen remain-
ing in Servia, . We are essured they have carried
their! audacity so far as to assassinate the Mohisil,
or Turkish Plenipotentiary, who hnd arrived at Bel-
(Trade from Setnendria. The Jews have also
come the objeCts and vii ims of Servian feroci-
ty : they seize them wherever they can find them,
and many of thetn have been killed already.--

LEYD.EN, MAY 1.--7—The 110.7jal Hague Courant

of the most advantagious kind for the army of
France and her Allies.

(1% PRIVATE LETTER.)
LOWER ELBE, APRIL 29..-4 t is the opinion of
intelligent, persons that BONAPARTE is on the re-
treat, and the friends of the good cause are by DV
means gratified at this : they think that nothine
is wore desirable than that pride and miscalcula-
tion may induce • him to risque every thing, and
keep a position from which a retreat would .be still
more miraculous than the usual miracles of our age,'
more especially in case Atistria takes the field,
which is the general expectation ; and, as it stems
too, the apprehension of the French themselves.—
But it is rather feared that BONAPARTE will retreat
towards the coast of the Baltic, where he will have
a watchful eye on the English troops (for surely
the wolf will come at Lit): Here, it is said, he
can take a strong position, and keep open a coin-
municetion with Holland and the Netherlands,
himself remaining at Mecklenbergh, near enough to
the fortresses on the Oder to relieve the strong gar-
risons he may station there. Whatever velidity
there may be in'these reasonings, one thing is cere
tain, that Germany is at all events a safer and a
more comfortable-station than Poland, whither 'he
would never surely have gone, had he not exped-
ed the co-operation of the 'Poles, in which he
has been totally disappOinted. This may be seem_
without 'a lynx's eye, even in his own bulletins.—
Besides, his presence..is necessary- in order to secure
the fidelity, of his-new Allies. He 'can rely on the
friendship of ,none, except, perhaps, Bavaret ; Apd
even here it is thp le. of Austria, not the love -of,
France, which operates. In the meanwhile, in every
part of Germany the French are detested, and the
people are ripe for insurrection. 'We read of bands
of robbers in Prussian Pornthnia, Silesia, &c. but
that this is a false appellation needs no suggestion
from me. The worthy Mayor of a Pomeranian
town, who leas 'shot lately (you have already had
the account in the papers), on pretenceof refusing to
art against a banditti, was infamously murdered, not
legally sentenced. Even the French themselves,
when they first required a sort of oath of allegiance
from the Civil. Magistrates, declared it tneaet only
that they who took it should not take part in any
a& against the French, not that they' should in other
ceSpeas violate the allegiance they had sworn to
their former Sovereign. They were to be made
neutral; not partisans : and indeed this is the neces-
sary
policy in the Modern system of warfare. Io
the present instance, e regular military forceeetered
the place; andeaeting ender a Prussian commission.
the Magistrate was called upon to take part against
the robbers. They -are no robbers,' he replied, •
but the soldiers of the King, my master; I am the
Civil Magistrate, and dare not interfere.' For this
he was shot. Howeeer, it would be childish to ex-
claim against the injustice and barbarity of such
proceedings. In the critical state in which the
French find themselves, it is only by violence, rapine,
and murder, that they can hope to terrify and quell
the public spirit. • -

THE THEATRE.—As Mr. KEMBLE IS still too
much itidisposed to resume his theatrical tundionsi
the part of Pro.cperio in The Tempest was last night
performed by CooKE. It is not in Ills proper line
of acting, but he acquitted hin:sell respe&abiy. Un-
willing to incur the vulgar clarnpqr that assailed the
old and corre& pronunciation of the dissyllabie aches,
he prudently omitted the line which contains it.

Mr. Gitaltow 'said, he was to shew cause against
Rule,. which had been obtained by Mr. MAR-
ItYAT, for postponing: the triai4a Prosecution on a
-Criminal Information for a Libel, at the.instance of
Mr, Sullivan. This was the third application:to
postpone this trial, and on the same ground as_ il the

rest ; the absence ,of a material witness, Doctor

Lynci;, of the Island of Trinidad. His Client, Mr.
, ultivan, was extremely anxious that this ingormation
should be disposed of, inasmuch as it was the source
of 4esh and incestant libels upon him; at the same
time, be did. not v% ish that the Court should compel
the Defendant to answer to thisinformation until he.
had ail he evidence, or until he was in a,sitnation

to appear before. the Court to the bestadvantage;lw
aid not wish to deprive that Gentleman of thing

. .
that could be cl the least. service for his defence. HZ;

to the discretion of the Court to say, whether the
trial ought to be postponed ior not. 'lt
_appeared there
tii :is some probability that Dodo; Lynch might arrive
before the sittings atter Trinity'Term.
Lord tLLENBOROUqH. said, that although he, be-
gan to suspect that Dr. Lynch would not, appear at
all, yet the Court would give the Defendant the
further time -now asked ; ,but the calls of justice re
quire(' that the. cause should be then tried.

Mr. JEKYL moved the judgment of the' Court on
the Defendant, who,, together with his wife, Mary,
not present, had been convided of keeping a dis-

brought in the Quarter Sessions, abut rei4oved into
this superior Court. • .

moved-from the Sessions, a tribunal fully competent
to the disposal of it. There were no circumstances
of aggravation attending it. Tipp sentence of the
Court was, ‘‘ that tht.! Defendant be imprisoned in
the King's Bench Prison lot one calendat ,month ;
that he do find sureties for:his good behaviour for

CLONMELT,, APRIL 25.

On Thursda'v laSt a Coroner's Inquest .-As held in
the. Hospital of the Gaol here, before R. NEDLIAIII
'and EDW. ARMSTRONG; Esqrs. Coroners of this
County, upon a view of the body of Joseph Loner-
gan, ofMullough. kappeared from the-evidence
of Surgeon Phillips, that the deceased. came by' his
death in consequence of a'gtin-shot wound, and this
wound, it appeared, - he- had received about two
o'clock, on Tuesday, at Mullough,lin this' county ;
from which time he t
o'clock, lingered tintii Wednesday Morn
when he died..

- . •
Evidence 'was given by three persons, two women
and a man, .of the firing -of the shot, but without
identifying the person who• fired it. One of them said,
.that she saw a •Gentleman whom she did 'not know";
and could not identifY, on a narrow road on' Mul-
lough land on. horseback—that he :was. stalking 'to
Lonergan, who was in a gardenor field adj oin i rig—she
saw him while on horseback tire at Lonergan, while
Lonergan was walking away frornhim-,--beinz asked
if she-saw Lonergan throw, any stone at -the Gentle-
man ? said She did _not; and that froin the place where
she was standing he could not throw, a stone at him
without:her seeing it.
The. testimony of the second woman, as to this
Fab was less particular; bul she swore, that on
hearing the shot, she came towards the place 'where
i,t was fired, and, on observing Lonergani the de-
ceased, lying! wounded-on the grOtind, she ap-
proaching the body, when a Gentleman; whom she
saw standing on the ditch of the field, with a gun
in his hand,- desired her not to come ftirther, or he
would. shoot 'her.; but She could not identify who
this Gentleman was.

.TLe. third. of these witnesses,. one Dwyer, swore
that he was in the road, scraping up manure,. when
Mr. Power (Edmund. Power, Esq. a Magistrate of
this county) passed Jahn, 'and ask'A if that was the
way to' Lom.rgan's house ? to which the Witness
answered in the affirrnative. That shortly after, lie
heard a shot fired, and, on looking hack, saw Mr.:
Power, with a gun in,- his hand, standing at on
the road ditch;. that Mr. Power called -him,. and
desired him on the peril-of hiS life to go.; ,and he
accordingly did, immediately, .in order'to.hrig his
horSe, which bad run away. This, WitnesS. beard.
no second shot, and saw nOthing, further of the
transaktion..

Mr. Everit was the next witness. He swore that
shortly after the time stated by the forther witnesses,
he 'Saw Mr: Power (whom he knew) with a gun-
pursuing Lonergan, 'who was running froth him,
and having just then also heard a shot, he asked Mr:
,Power: what could make him fire at, the man-? to
,which Mr.,Power answered, _that the - villaih had
struck him with a two-pound stone, which he sbew-
ed to the witness--7that Mr. Power"purshed the de-.
ceased to• the house of Wm. Lohergan, .Esq. of
Mullough, where .he apprehended him. That Mr.
Power, in presence of the witness, asked Lonergan
whether it was the second shot that had hit him ? to
which Lonergan replied,•" no, that it was the first;"
Mr. 'PoWer said; " I am glad of it, for if it had been
the second, it would have killed you, for I aimed at
your back." ° .
At this period- of the inquiry, Mr. Power came
forward to justify, himself, as acing in his Magiste-
rial capacity, under a legal authority fur apprehend-
ing Lonergan; and .ledged Lonergan s resist-
ance of him in io,doing ; and fur this rurpoSe Lo-
renzo Hickie Jephson, Esq. a Magistrate of this
county, and Collector of the district,. was examined.
His evidence was, that having taken inforMations
in the gaol of Waterford frOm an informer confined
there,- against several persons, for a capital offence
'committed in that cbunty,. he communicated with
the late Lord Lieutenant's. Secretary on the subject:,
and received from him a letter, empowering him to
offer a reward of one hundred pounds for the appre-
hension of each ,of the persons against. whoM these
informations were sworn—that he bad not issued
.any warrant on these informations. but had returned
them to the Crown Office of the County of Water'.
ford—that the gang mentioned in these informa-
tions were of the most desperate charaCter, and charg-
ed with crimes of the most atrocious nature; and-that
the deceased was sworn against a's .t.he ringleader of
the gang—that be communicated the contents .of
the Secretary's letter to Mr. Power, knowing that
his (Mr. Power's) local information might enable
him to be highly serviceable, and that he gave Mr.
Power a-copy of the informations (previous to his
returning them to the CrOwn office) in order to
enable Mr. -Power to a& upon them. This copy
was produced, but for obvious reasons, not mado
public ; no evidence of any -kind was given to shew
that resistance or violence had been offered to the
Magistrate. The Coroner left the whole of the evi-
dence, without recapitulation or comment, to the
Jury, who, after a consultation of three hours, re-
turned the 'folloWing verdid,
'." We find that Joseph Lonergan, came by his
death by a gun-shot wound, and, from circum-
stances, we believe said shot might have been fired
by Edward PoWer, a Migistrate of this County, in
his own_defence, and in execution, of his office, and
under the authority of the Secretary of the Lord
Lieutenant." .
