Lieutenant General Ross, Surveyor General of
the Ordnance, left Dublin on Friday morning, ac-
companied by Captain DEBUTTS of the Royal
Engineers, to visit and inspect the several military
depots and coasts of that Country. Lieutenant_
Colonel Twiss, of the corps of Royal. Engineers,
arrived in Dublin on Saturday morning from Eng-
land, upon the same duty.

The ToxornoLlTE Society met at their ground
behind Go‘ver.street, Bedford_square, on Monday
last, according to annual custom, it being what is
technically termed the Prince of Wales's Target
Day. The heat of the weather prevented any
con.iiderable exertion before dinner ; but after the
genial repast, the contest was strenuously disputed.
The shooting being concluded about eight o'clock,
the " merry men" retired to their Pavillion, and
the luxury of cool wine, when Mr. CAZALET, as
Captain of the preceding year, being in the Chair,
announced that the honours of the day had fallen on

Mr. S HEPII AR D, as Captain of the Target ;
Mr. MASON, as Lieutenant of ditto;
Mr. CR UN D EN, as Captain of Numbers ;
Mr. SIIEP II A RD, as Lieutenant of ditto.

The Hawkers of Paris, it seems, went about the
streets crying the New Constitution under this title,
"The Neu French Constitution, in 87 Articles, de_
creed last night."—As the People had little ex-
peaation of such a thing, public Curiosity was much
excited, and the Hawkers made a good harvest.
All Europe seems to be looking for Indemnities.
—Even the Batavian Republic wishes to obtain its
Contingent—it hopes to have a part of the Country
Of Munster, and Prussia will cede to it besides, a
certain Distrit on its Frontiers.

The Members of the Municipality of Amster-
dam now take the title of Messieurs, while the
Members of the Government at the Hague retain
that of Citizens.

It was stated in the Proclamation of the Consuls
of the French Republic to the French People, on the
14th of July, " that at the Epoch of Peace, Institu-
tions, suitable to the French Cliara&er, ought to
environ the Laws with an impregnable entrench-
ment." This phrase afforded much food for reflection.
Many imagined they saw in it the approaching re_
establishment of the Clergy, the Noblesse, and the
Tiers Etat, and even the Convocation of the States,

free and unfettered. The Abbe StE YES, observing,
in the commencement of the Proclamation, that
there were no longer any heads which did not bow
down beneath the Empire of Equality, and think-
ing, at the same time, of the Legion of Honour,
could not help saying, like another CAT°, " Truly,
we have a very pleasant Consul."
At the late Assizes at Gloucester, a Bill of In-
dktment was preferred by the Commissioners of the
Navy against a person who had long enjoyed a
place of considerable trust under them, for feloni-
ously converting to his own use, timber belonging
to His Majesty, in-Dean Forest. The Grand Jury
returned the ,Bill a true one ; and the Judge imme-
diately granted a warrant for his apprehension.---
He will be tried at the next Assizes.

At the above Assizes, a very decent-looking
young woman, of about twenty, was tried for the
murder of her bastard infant child ; but from the
extreme good charaaer she had given her, and the
remarkable affetion and attention she had always
shewn to the children of others, and from the• pro-
b Ability that she might have destroyed the child un-
intentionally when she delivered herself (it being
her first child), in her own room, without any as-
sistance.whatever, she was acquitted, to the uni-
versal satisfaClion of the Cckirr. She was tried by
that acute and learned Judge Sir SIMEON LE
BLANC. It is a pity the man who seduced her
escapes punishment.
An Appeal, of some importance, was decided at
the Shrewsbury Quarter Sessions. Me Appellant
was Mr. Gittins, jun. a renting fanner, at St.
Chad's, and the Respondents, the Direaors of the
House of Industry. The objea of the Appeal wag,
to be relieved from the burthen of a second Parish
Apprentice. The decision went against the Ap_
pellant, the Court being of opinion, that persons
ought to take apprentices in proportion to the amount.
of their Aslcsments to the Pours' Rates. By this
decision it appears, that a person rated at 4001.
a-year. is compellaW to t;11(e thirteen Apprentices
before another rated at 301. a year is obliged to take
one,

Erd,er Dawkins, Alaly Cm27415,:i and Ann Stevens,
were indicted for assaulting- MoSe... Murphy, in
White Lion court, Tooley-:;tieeti, Borough, eid
taking from his person a bag containg three One_
pound Bank Notes, two 75. pieces, a zs. 6d. in
silver, and other monies, his property. It eppear-
ed the Prosecutor had been violently assaulted by
a number of infamous women who frequent the
avenues about 'fooley-street, and had been rob-
bed. He immediately complained to the Constable
of the night, who, from the description given, was
induced to think the Prisoners, or sonic of their
companions, had committed the depredation com-
plained of ; he therefore took the Prosecutor to a
house in the above Court, where he found a number
of wretched Females and same Sailors, ricrtint! in
perfea nudity. The Prosecutor immediately ilen_
tified the three Prisoners as the women who had
surrounded him, and forcibly taken his money. The
evidence, however, as given in Court, was so broke
in upon and unsupported, that the jury thought
the safest way was to acquit the Prisoners.
The trials on the Pleas side were principally in-
di&ments for not repairing the highways. One of
these was against the Parish of St. Mary, Lambeth,
for not repairing a road from Camber‘vell to Croy_
don, across Norwood Common, which it was con-
tended had been a public highway time immemorial,
and that the inhabitants living on a certain part of
the Common had no means of getting to their dwell-
ings but by this road, now rendered impassable,
" Unless they went in the newfangled way of a bal-
loon." Notwithstanding this assertion, the par_
ties failed in proving it to be an established carriage_
way, and a verdil was given of Not Guilts . Mr.
Mr. GAR ROW then wished to make it appear that
the, indiament was frivolous and vexatious, which
was over-ruled by Baron MACDONALD, who agreed
the prosecution was a very foolish one, though he
could not believe it had been brought with a view
orrly to put the parishioners of Lambeth to veXa-
'don and trouble.

In the case of GILL BAR RATT and others, an
ailion for false imprisonment, the Jury gave a Vet-
did of 4.05. damages. The Plaintiff, it appeared,
had been mistaken for another man of the saite
name, and arrested. He was taken to a spunging_
house, where he was confined for three whole days.
Mr. GAR Row defended the aetion, and from his re_
presentation of the Plaintiff's character, the Jury
were induced to give such small damages,
