*made, their own recollection would bear positive
test anony. Among others, it had been insinuated
that Sir Henry Mildmay had been ordered by the
Lady
%Ir. Primrose to go out of the- window of
Lady Rosebarry's bed-chamber, and that he had
gone out as he had been ordered, disgraced, spirit-
less, and lost to those manly feelings by which
he had previously been characterised. The Jury
would not fail to remember the evidence of Mr.
Priturose upon this subject.: they would recal to
their view the statement which Mr. Primrose bad
made, with reference to this circumstance. Did
it-appear, that he had- ordered Sir Henry. Mild-
may to depart, and that in a degraded manner the
Hon. Baronet obeyed the order ? No ; it was
clear that be was entreated to go— to avoid expo-
sure, to-prevent consequences which all were
alike disposed to avoid-,-there was no order,: no
mandate which it could have become Sir Henry
Mildmay to resist ; and this imputation, if it
bad been proved, he could not help thinking
would have been worse than all that had been
imputed ,to the Honourable Baronet. And
why ? because it would have called in question
that which was dearest to his heart, as a man of
honour—his courage : and would have for ever
banished him from that society in which he had
before moved with such credit to- himself, and ho-
nour to the illustrious family of .'which he was a
member. The Learned Counsel then combated
the cho.rge of incest which had been hurled upon
the Honourable Baronet by the Attorney-Gene-
ral, and appealed to the natural connexion of
the parties, and the legal. construction of- that
connexion, as to whether any such charge
were founded. -He contended that it. was •to-
tally groundless. He afterwards lamented, that
Lord Roseberry had not, upon discovering the
feelings which subsisted between his Lady and Sir
H. Mi instead of .a.eonditional restriction -upon
their intercourses, interdicted it altogether. He
was satisfied, if that had been the case, the task
that day, thrown upon the JUry would have been
avoided. In conclusion, he adverted to the. cir-
cuinstance of the parties having been thrown
together as the consolers of each other for
a luss which each equally deplored, namely,
that of Lady Mildmay. In the bosom of
Lady Roseberry Sir .Harry sought -consola-
tion, and . unhappily, but not unnaturally, a
passion had taken. possession of his heart, which,
from the complexion of his letters, had assumed
rasher- the .eharacter .of distraction than of thel
cool and. calculating -feeling, which, while it
sought the possession •of its object,. was- undis-
tinguished. by the.finerfeelings of the soul. Finally,
be ietreated the Jury to recollect the circumstances
of the 'defendant, • and in forming their judgment
to recollect that they might be called upon to
mark •their sense of cases which, in point of atro-
city, might far exceed the.present.
Mr. BtacitaLt., the Under Sheriff, thenpro-
eeeded to sun) up the case to the Jury, which he did
very shortly, observing to them, that they were
the Judges upon the occasion, and that it was
with them to do that justice between "the parties
which, upon a fair and impartial view, their own
discretion and good sense, guided by a recollec-
tion of the injury sustained,_ and the relative
situation of the plaintiff and defendant, might
dictate.

The Court was cleared, and re-opened after an.
botir, when the Jury, by their Foreman,. Sir N.
CONANT, returned a Verdict or FIFTEEN
Ti-lOUSAND POUNDS. DAMAGES.
Time ATTORNEY;-GENERAL, Mr. TOPPING, and
Mr. D. F. JoNcs, were for the plaintiff: Mr.
BROUGHAM, for the defence. •

LONDON,
lIIOND4Y, DECEMBERI2,IBII.

From our Naval News it .will be seen that there
has been several late arrivals from.the other sick
of the Atlantic.. We do. not understand that Go-
vernment has received any intelligence worthy of
'notice•by these vessels. Our private letters ihew
tliat the Enetny, as well as ourselves, are making
great exertions to meet
,the tug of-war should hoi-
tilitics continue. The following is the substance
of our intelligence aterived from the Penelme:—
"A report had reached Halifax, and was gene-
rally believed, that General DaumNotip had de-
feated the Americans with very considerable loss,.
and it was confirmed that the Enemy had blown
up Fort Erie,- and retired precipitately to Sackett's
IlarboUr.

" Commodore CliAuNczy was blocked,up in
Sackett's Harbour by Sir JAMES YEo, whose
broad pendant was flyiog on boaid the St. Law-
rence, three-decker.

" At Isle-aux-Noiz we are building two
gates, and. three brigs, to remedy our•disasters,
and rettie•oe onr losses on Lake Clianapialn.

"At Portsmouth (New Hampshire), the United
States ship Independence was nearly ready for sea.
She is rated 78, and tuounts 98 guni-42-pounders

on her lower deck, 42's on her main-deck, 32's
and 68's carronades on her quarterileck and'fore-
castle, with a complement of 1000 men; Com-
modore RODGERS is to command her.

" At Philapelphiai the Guerriere, a new frigate,
Was nearly ready for sea: She mounts 64 guns,
32-poundeis on her main-deck, 42-pounders on
her quarter-deck, and a 68-pounder 'on each-of her
•
gangways; with a comPlement of 60 44 tnen. At
Boston, the Constitution was ready for sea ; land
the Washington, of 90 guns fitting for sea very
.
fast.

. "At New YOrk,thePresittent was ready for sea,
and report says she has since sailed for the East

" At New London, the United States and Mace-
donian frigates were dismantled, and•the Hornet
sioDp was ready for sea."

This. short statement of the Naval Means of
America speaks volumes, and we hope %N;ill not
fail to make a suitable impression, On our Naval
Administrators. We,doubt not the readiness of
the Admiralty .to send ships, but we doubt the
ability of our ships, of the ame nominal class, to
cope with those of the enemy. We observe in the
above recapitulation a 78-gun ship mounting 98
heavy guns, :and manned with 1000 seamen, and a
frigate mouOing 64 heavy guns, and manned with
640 seamen. This' creates 'a new era in maritime
warfare, and requires a correspondent change or

improvement in our system.
We. liave no hesitation in asserting,, that the
Nelson, the largest line of battle ship ever, built in
England, is not-an equal match for the Independ-
ence. The greatest weight of the Nelson's metal is
321bers. the average only, 231bS: The greatest
weight of the Independence's shot, is 68 poundsrs ;
the average 401bs. The Nelson's compldment
men, 875 of all sorts, able • seamen, _ordinary,
landsmen, boys, cooks, cookg-inates, swabbers,
sweepers, and_ iweepings. The' independoices
cnmplement, 1000 picked A. B's. Measures must
therefore be' adopted, to place our ships on an
equality in every respect with those of the
Enemy.

By a Dutch Mail we have intelligence from
Ghent to the 6th. Every thing looks pacific in
that quarter, and the Negociations will, we trust,
lead to an honodrable and secure peace. It is not
necessary for us. to say_ how much we loath the
worthlesss Faction which plunged America into
this war, how much we despise the character
which they and their Agents, Commanders,
and followers have displayed in its progress ;
and how firmly we are disposed to maintain,
that no Peace with them can be goo for
'this country which is not "founded on • perfect
security against-future treachery ; but still, with
the present state of Europe full under our contem-
plation, we must say that we should greatly re-
joice in having to annOunee the Termination of a
War in which much ,may be lost mid little can be
.
gained. The following are the principal extracts :
e‘ BRUSSELS, DEc. 3.—The Negociations. at
Ghent continue to be very active. The exchange
of notes, and the arrival and departure of Eng-
lish couriers, continue daily. Notwithstanding the
secrecy in Which the negociations ate involved, it
is believed that England has abated of its first de-
mands, and that America; on the other hand, has
mode some sacrifices : it is even hoped, that the,
made of carrying on the Negociations will under-
go some change, and that personal conferences
will succeed to the written notices.

" BRUNSWICK, Nov. 29.=The Duke returned
here this morning,having left Vienna on the 19th.
His Royaf Highness passed three days at Oels,
where his stibjects received him with transport,
On. his arrival here, all those who have served
with him in Spain assembled before the l'alace,
with crowds of people, and testified their joy by
repeated cheers.—(Amsterdam Courant , Dec: 7.)
" GHENT, DEc. s.—lt is reported that the
nglish. Government has giyen.secret instructions
to its Commissioners to ded,t from the hardest
FeteIISIOHS against the United States, or at least
has so modified them, that they can no longer be
obstacles to a favourable termination of the
