LYONS, JAN. 23.—The Fe'te-given to Madame
BONAPARTE- was very brilliant. A Deputation 'of
Lyonese Ladies presented her with a boiiquet. of
flowers, u!tich she received with equal sensibility
and grace. The bottom of the room displayed
Androcles drawing the thorn out of the Lion's foot.
The general joy was increased by same excellent
music, a brilliant illumination, a prodigious afflu
ence of specia tors, and, above all, by the presence
of the First Consul and his Wife. As soon as they
made their appearance, the concert began, and an
Air written for the occasion was sung by Math
LONGUE, and Citizen GER B ET.
It has been remarked, that almost all the Ladies
in the two balls that have been given, were dressed
in silks of the Lyonese manufafture.
On the zoth, the Minister of the Interior went to
visit the School of Rural Vetetinary CEconomy.—
IL: entered into all the details of the internal ma.
nagement of that establishment, which is managed
by Citizen &unix.
The First Consul has visited the establishment
of Citizens BARRE, TIIEOLEYRE, and TILL EUX,
on the Quay of St. Ciair ; a workman presented to
him, in a few minutes, a piece of velvet with his
initials on it.

charges the funaions of Hereditary Marshal of the
Empire, has made it be announced to the other
Members cf the Diet, that from the Ist of January,
the opening of the Sittings will not -take, place till
mid-day. Formerly it had bts.'en:gxed at' eight in
the morning, although the Ministers did not, in
faa, assemble till midday.

In the Sitting of Monday,-.-the first since the
Christmas Holidays, the Direetorjal Minister of

Tool& and Taxis, set off last evening for Anqach,
to join the Princess her Sister.
STUTGARDT, JAN. t6.—The two Ex-Ministers
of Wurtemberg, WOELLEWARTH and HOFFMANN,
have gained their suit against the Duke, before the
Aulic Council of the Empire at Vienna. The Duke
had disgraced them two years ago ; the first, for
having advised his deceased Father to conclude a
Treaty of Pace with France, which the Duke pre-
tended to be disadvantageous to Wurtemberg : and
the second, for having taken part with the States.
The two Ministers seeing themselves disgraced,
without sufficient reason, brought an adion against
the Duke before the Supreme Tribunal of the Em-
pire, That Tribunal found their plea well-found-
ed ; but as it could not hope to be able to oblige
the Duke to receive them again into his service,
it condemned him to pay to each of them an. Annual
Pension of zOOO florins. The Duke has submitted
to this decree, and paid the pension for the year
Igor. The two Ex. Ministers are employed in
writing the History of their Disgrace, which they
intend to publish.

The Hereditary PRINCE of NAPLES, at the in:.
stance of the French Minister, in the name of the
Futs-r CONSUL, has given permission to the cele_

the Music intended to aecoinp_any the Fetes to be
given on the conclusion of the Definitive Treaty.
Thar great Composer is, in consequence, making
preparations for his departure.

M. de PELTZER, who had been named as Aus-
trian Minister in Scuitzer/and, has received sud.
denly an unexpeEted order to go to England, to take
charge of the Austrian Affairs there, during the
absence of Count STAI-IREMIS ERG, who has got six
months leave to return to Vienna.

A Gentleman at Fuilarton in the neighbourhood
of Glasgow, wishing to make an experiment on the
power of
.frost, procured a bomb.shell ten inches
diameter, the cavity of which he completely filled
up with water, and skrewed an iron plug into the
fusee, that none of it might. escape. The shell, that
it might be fairly exposed to the frost, was sus-
pended in the air by means of a triangle. This ex..
Pertinent was made on the afternoon of the r3th
ult. Next morning, he went to examine the shell,
when he found it burst in two ; one half of it having
been thrown about five yards to the one side, and the
other about seven yards in. a contrary direttion.

Several of the first families in the neighbourhood
of Cumberland-place, New-road, Mary-le-bonne,
have lately discovered that they were frequently
robbed of very valuable articles, but could not
deter} the robber. At length suspicion fell on
the girl who brought Newspapers to the houses,
and on Saturday she was examined at the Public
Office, Bow-street, when a Pawnbroker produced
various articles the prisonr, had,. pledged, and as-
signed as a reason for taking such articles into pawn
from the Prisoner, that she said they belonged to
a gentleman its distress. The Magistrate repro-
bated the Pawnbroker's conduEl, in taking such arti-
cles in pledge. from a girl who is only about six-
teen years of age. A most lamentable thing came
out on examination, that there was teason to believe
the girl's mind was corrupted by her mother, who
had long since bean convieted of shop-lifting ; but,
on account of the excellence of the charafter of the
father, the Magistrate offered to use his influence. to
get her into the Magdalen,

COURT OF KING's BENCH, TEE. T.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL moved for a Man-
damus
to be direcied to the Magistrates of the
Quarter Sessions; at Hicks's Hall, commanding
them to proceed tipon a trial respeding the quan-
turn to be allowed to a Gentleman who had certain
land which it was deemed necessary to purchase, to
carry on the purposes of the London Wet Dock
Company, in ereeting a Dock for the accommodat-
ing the trade and shipping, &c. This application
was made on the authority of the /V.l of the 4.oth
of the King, which was for making these Docks,
and which enabled the Commissioners; '- &c. to
purchase, not only land through which -canals- and
cuts are to be made, but also to purchase
.certain
pieces of land adjoining, or near to them, such as
may be convenient for carrying into execution the
plan for the completion of the Docks. The inhe-
ritance of a certain part which was necessary to be
occupied for this purpose, near to the place in ques-
tion had been purchased, and a very fair, adequate,
and indeed much mote than adequate price had been
offered for that which was now wanted, but the
Patty refused to take it; the regular course in that
case, as prescribed by the AEt, was to sumvin
Jury for the purpose of trying the value of tlyt pro-
perty so wanted for the above public purpose.—
Application had been made to the Magistrates to
summon a Jury to try the value of the property
thus required. The Magistrates, however, seemed
to be of opinion that the proposed purchase in this
case, was not within the provision of the Act, and
this Motion was made for the purpose ?of ascer-
taining whether this was within the pro'✓ision of
the At or not ; it was necessary to do this, be-
cause if it was not within the At, an application
must be made to the Legislature to extend the
powers under that At ; but if it was, they► might
be told so in answer to such an application. This
Was a point of great importance and magnitude,
upwards of a million of money being em'e,arked in
it. The Magistrates thought they had no power
to aft in it under the provisions of this Aft of Par-
. liament, and this Motion was made to obtain a
• judicial determination on the construction of the
A6l.

Mr. Justice GitosE having looked. at the part
of the At which relates to thiS ii&vit, said, the
Court would grant a Rule to 'spew Cause, but at
present, he could hardly see his way through. this
business.
Rule to sheer Cause granted.

Mr. GIBBS moved for a Writ of Mandamus to
be direled to the Mayor of the county of the Bo-
rough of Carmarthen, commanding him to admit
Edward Davis to the Freedom of the Borough.
He said, he moved this on an Affidavit which
stated the constitution of the Borough, and swore
that the person on whose behalf this application was
made, was entitled to the Freedom, according to
the constitution of the Borough ; that application
was made, and a refusal, &c. He had another Case
in the same situation precisely.
Writ ordtired to be issued.

Mr. DAVIS moved for leave to 11;e a Criminal
Information against Mr. William Protheroi, a Sad-
ler, in the town of Landilo, in the county of Car-
marthen, and also an Officer in Lord Dynevor's
Regiment. This he moved on an Affidavit stating
that Mr. john'Rees,. an Attorney, was at an Inn
at Landilo, where was also the Defendant, who
boarded there. The Parties had some difference,
which Mr.. Prothero proposed to settle by a duel,
at the same time making use, as it was stated, of
abusive language ; the challenge not being accepted
on the part of Mr. Rees, Mr. Prothero left the room,
and Mr. Rees went into another in the same house.
Mr. Prothero in 'At, short time returned and came
into the room where Mr. Rees wasi,, with a p;,..ir of
loaded pistUls—he unscrewed the barrels of the
pistols to shew that they were loaded, and desired
that Mr. Rees would take one of them, and go to
the other end of the TOVI to settle the dispute at
one. Mr. Rees declined it.

Mr. justice GROSE not having dittinfily'heard,
asked what Mr. Profiler() was ?--
Mr. bAv IS said he was if SaMer,i)at that he was
also an Officer in Lord Dynevor's Regiment.

Mr. Justice GP.OSE said, he thougtt it would be
better to go with this business before a Grand Jury,
than call for the extraordinary interference of the
Court.

Mr Justice LAWRENCE said, the Attorney
General of the Circuit aright take this- aliair under
his care, with great propriety.

Rule refused:

Upon a Question, whether a Capias ad Satisfa.
ciendum should not issue for the purpose of re-taking
a Defendant, who bad been discharged upon the last
Insolvent Debtors Act, as it was alledged by fraud,
it was contended on one side, that the Capias
ought to issue for taking up the Defendant again,
on the ground that he obtained his discharge behind
-theibacli of the Plaintiff, and that he would not
have had: it, if opposed, for that he was not in-
titled to it, under all the circumstances of the case.
The fads are shortly these.--Ile was arrested be..
fore the ist of March, t Sot :—the, day to which
the last Ad of Parliarnont referred, was out on Bail
until the t zch of June. The Ad of Parliament
which governs this case—the last Insolvent Ad—
received the Royal Assent on the z7th of June.
On the one side it was contended, that the De-
fendant must have been adually in prison, before
the first day of March, before he could come under
the benefit of this •Ad, whereas, this appeared only
to be a simple arrest, and bail given.
On the other side, it was contended,. that the
arrest constituted the imprisonment required by this
Ad of Parliament.

The Court observed, that this'Ael of Parliament
had, in its spirit, avowedly a.liberat regard to the
personal freedom of those who were the objets of
it, and, therefore, ought to receive a liberal con-
struttion. The Defendant, when an ested, might,
be held to he imprisoned, and must continue to be
in prison, until he gave bail, and might be thrown
into prison after bail was put in, because the bail
might render him yg their own discharge, when they

thotight t; and, thatfore, he i.'hs intittcd to h::*
discharge under this Ad, when lie took the benefit,
,of it. This was muter a Clause in the 6ii Sedior, •
which vas not like other Insoic'ent Debtors' Acts,.
h',ll" such was the spirit, as expressed by the letter
of it—lf he was indite& to the discharge when he
took the benefit of the Ad, it was needless to g,c-
into the ques:ion of alledged fraud, ire:ruse, sup..,
posing that to have taken place, the only thing that:
could be done upon it, would he to take him up
again, and discharging him again ; for if he was'
entitled to his discharge then, he was if/tided CO:
It 110 W.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS; MOrDAY,rza. t.,

EACLETON zi. lift4blA COMPANY.

This came before the Court by way of argument
on a Special Case. The ACiion was tried at ono-
of the Sittings at Guildhall, NVlilia verdict wag'
found for the Plaintiff, damages. 2s. subject to the
opinion of !he Court on a Special Case.
By the faa6 found by the jury it appeared, that
the Plaintiff had at a former period bought a e.juan-'
tity of tea at one of the Company's Saks, for v,-hich
he paid the deposit, but afrwarti, failed to !NI
the remainder of the purchase-movy by the iimatca
time. The Company agreed to
sf.;ve him fortller
time, within which he paid the money with
serest. The The Company, however, refused to peruit
the Plaintiff to purcihe at their Sales until he made
satisfadion. The Plaintiff became the best bidder
at a subsequent Sale for a quantity of Tea and ten.
tiered the deposit, but the Company refused to ac-
cept him as the pUrchaser of the Tea, in pursuance
of the resolution they had made; in consequence of
which refusal the Adion was brought.
Mr.,Serjeant BEST now argued on behalf of the
Plaint cif, He stated, that the East India Com-
pany wercompelled by Law to sell the tea they
a public Sale, by inch of candle, and
contended 'that the best bidder at any such Sale
Must he considered as the purchaser, and become
entitled tolhe tea on. paying the deposit according
to Law, and the remaik.der of the purchase-money
by the time fixed for that purpose. He cOntended
that the. Company had no right to make any Bye-
law to kTstrain trade, or to prevent any individual
whatever from bidding or becomiog a purchaser at
their Sales, and that the consequences of any such
power being vested in the Company, would be pro-
dudive of the greatest injury to TrAe, and the
Public in general. The East India Company en..
tirely monopolized the importation of tea, and if
they were enabled to exclude any individual, at
pleasure, from purchasing at their Sales-, they might
create another Monopely of the most injurious na..
ture, in the hands of a few persons chosen by them..
selves, whilst the objet of the Aet of Parliaments
restricting the Company from selling their tea
otherwise than at a public Sale, would be entirely
defeated. Added to this, th' consequences of such
a power exercised by the Company would be highly
injurious to the Revenue, as parsons who were pro.;,
hiLited from
.purchasing tea at the Comrany's Sales
would be induced to purchase smuggled tea for flit;
purpose of carrying on their trade. He also con..
tended, that the manner in which purchasers should
make their deposits, and the regulations relative ta
the- payment of the purchase-money, being esta:.
Wished by At of Parliament, 'by which the cases
were laid down where persons should not be at
liberty to bid at the tOmpany's Sales, it was poSi..
tive evidence that tl!e Company had no right of
themselves to prohibit any person from bidding at
their Sales, otherwise there would have been no ne.
cessiv for. an Aft of Parliament upon the subjeft.
The Learned Serjeant conanded by a general sum.:
mary of his arguments on behalf of the Verdid.
Lord ALVANLEY being obliged. to sit at Nisi
Prius, the further hearing cf the argumtnts in this
Cause was postponed.
Nothing of importance occurred at Nisi Prius.

A shocking accident happened yesterday morn°
ing, at one of the new houses near Guildford-street
two Carpenters were at work at the front of a
house in the balcony, which unfortunately gave
way, and the poor men fell into the area, by which
one had the misfortune to fradure his skull ; he was
taken to the Middlesex Hospital; where, in spite of
every immediate assistance, he expired in a few
hours ; the other man, we hear; is likely to do well.
