PARADE OF THE 14.rit.
Detachments from the Demi.BrigatleS of Light
Infantry, consisting of one man per Company, of
one Captain, one Lieutenant, and one Sub-Lieute-
nant, were ranged on the Parade before the First
Consul, iri a square Battalion, having at their head
their Chiefs of Brigade.
The Colours were borne by a detachnierit of
Veterans covered with wounds.

The Minister of War distributed the Colours to
each Chief of Brigade, when the First Consul ad_
dressed them in the following words :

" Soldiers of the Light Infantry of the French
Army,
behold your Colours. They will serve
as,) our rallying point whenever the French People
have Enemies to combat, to strike terror into those
Enemies.
" Soldiers, defend yoUr Colours i never let them
fall into the hands of our Enemies; swear that you
Will defend them at the risk of your lives."
The Soldiers answered, " We swear."
The De[achments of Light Infantry, with their
Colours at their head, then filed off.

The First Consul saluted each Colour as it passed

bizn.
The four Get-Ithlt commanding the Guard; gave
a dinner to the different Detachments.

breed, the trappings of which had been ornamented
by
the first Artists in the Capital.

hirO pleasure to ride it often, and above all, if any
occasion recurred of combatting for the honour of
the French People.

DRESDEN, JUNE iB.—The Chevalier de SAXE
had the advantage, in his duel with the Prince
Stu now, upon the Frontiers of Saxony. and Bohemia,
but he was not so successful in his contest with Prince
TscltEttArow, who travelled from Petersburg to
Vienna to meet him. When -the Prince arrived at
Vienna, he found that the Chevalier de SAXE
had set out in order to fight Prince Sun° w.—

When the duel between the Chevalier de SAXE
and Prince Sti BOW was over, Prince TscHERBATOW
immediately challenged the Chevalier, and it was
agreed that they should meet on the 22d of June,
in the Saxon Territory. They met on the day
appointed, at two o'clock in the morning. The
Prince fired first, and shot his opponent through
the breast, who immediately dropped, exclaiming
"I am I" He had, however, strength

enough to get up, and fire at the Prince, whose
hat he shot off. The Chevalier died in a few
minutes in his arms ; he was buried in a neighbour-
ing Monastery. The dispute which led to this duel,
happened in the reign of CATHERINE II.: it arose
from a harsh answer which the Chevalier made to
die Prince, when the latter asked him how he did.
The following Anecdote is told of the EMPEROR
and the KING of PRUSSIA. The two Monarchs
were walking in the Port when an English vessel
arrived there, the Captain of which did not know
that Their Majesties were in that town. The Eng_
lish Captain wore a Russian Order. The EMPEROR
asked him how he had obtained it ?—He replied,

that it was at ihcona. The KING of PRUSSIA
then told the Captain, _that he was speaking to the
EMPEROR of RusstA. The Officer was considera.
bly disconcerted at this information ; but when the
EMPEROR added, that the Personage who was with
him was the KING of PRUSSIA, he recovered his
natural ease, and lett them, saying Gentlemen, I
an not to be caught in that way, I assure you.

The right of EleCtors to return to Parliament,
any pers. n against his. own consent, has been so
rarely exercised, that some very respetqable persons
have expressed their doubts of the legality of
ing Mr. BURDON to serve in Parliament for the
County of Durham, after he has declined to offer him_
. self as a Candidate. But the following adjudged
case in Scrjeant GLANv ',LE'S Reports, will remove
every doubt upon this important part of the Con-
! stitution, " The Question was, Whether Sir
THOMAS ESTCOVRT was eligible against his own
consent, and contrary to his desire ? And it was
held clearly, that he was ; and that no man, beitig
lawfully chosen, can refuse the Place ; for the Coun-
try and Commonwealth have such an interest in
every man, that when, by lawful Eleftion, he is
appointed to such public service, he cannot, by any
unwillingness, or refusal of his own, make himself
incapable ; for that were to prefer the will, or con-
tentment of a private man, &fore the desire and
satisfaction of the 'whole Country, and the ready
way to put by the sufficientest men, who are com-
monly those, who least endeavour to obtain the

COURT OF CHANCEItY, JULY r 9..

ARREST OF JOHN ICING.

The circumstance of the Arrest of Mr. 76,/,:m
King, on his return from Guildhall, where he hAd
been attending upon the COMmision of Bankruptcy
issued against the suppositious Baronet, Lathropi
Murray, produced an application to the Court of
Chancery, for the purpose of obtaining Mn King's
discharge, and punishing the Attorney who had is-
sued the process, and the Officers who had executed
i t.

On Thursday last the Officers, Whose names were
Garritt and Osborne, appeared in Court, to answer
the complaint made against them.
Mr. MANSFIELD stated, from the Affidavit of
Mr. King, that the Arrest was made while he was
attending at Guildhall, in obedience to the Conimis.
sinners' Summons ; and that the Officers sent fbr him
out, in order to make their caption.
The Officers justified themselves under the indem-
nity of Mr. BnacxsTocx, the Attorney, who had
sued out the Writ.
The LOAD CHANCELLOR ordered the matter to
stand over till this day, when all parties, by their
Counsel, were ordered to appear before him.
It appeared from the Affidavits of the Officers, that
they had received their instruaions from Mr. Black-
stock; that they happened to be attending at the
Hustings on the City Eleaion,when Mr.Blackstock's
Clerk came up to them, and said he wished one of
them to execute a warrant. Garritt replied, he
could not leave the Hustings, upon which Mr. Black-
stock's Clerk observed, that he might have the name
of Osborne, who was also on the Hustings near him,
inserted in the warrant. He added, that the per-
son to he arrested was Mr. John King, who was
attending a Commission of Bankruptcy ; that per-
haps he would slim'. a paper, pretending it was
a protection, but the Officers were nevertheless
to arrest him, and Mr. Blackstock would in-
demnify them. They got the warrant, and wait-
ed near an hour' before the!' saw the Defend-
ant. Mr. King at length came our, and as he
was proceeding down the steps of Guildhall; he
held up a scroll of paper, and exclaimed aloud,
" lake notice, lam going strait." As a number of
persons of his acquaintance were near him, the Offi-
cers were apprehensive of a rescue, they therefore
followed him as far as Lawrence lane, and there ar-
rested him. Mr. King insisted on returning to
Guildhall. The Officers went with him to the
2:orritnissioners, who declined interfering in the bu_
siness of the Sheriff. They said the Defendant at-
tended upon their summons, and the Officers would
aa at their peril.
the Officers denied having sent in for Mr. King,
as he had untruly suggested in his Affidavit;
Mr. RICHARDS addressed the Court on behalf of
Mr. Blackstock, the Attorney, whose Affidavit
stated, that he had not the least intention of aging
in contempt of the authority of the Chancellor or
his Commissioners ; that what he had done had been
upon the spur of the moment, and without know-
ing that Mr. King was summoned by the Com-
missioners ; that he had been misled by the case
of Kinder and Williams, in F omit Term Reports
that he had reason to believe Mr. King had tot some
tithe previous tarried a subpcena in his pocket, to
proteCt him from arrest, and that if he was arrested,
art attempt would be made to rescue him. The
Learned Counsel said his Client was a young man
of extreme good eharaeter ; that he had evidently
aaed under a wrong impression, and was much con-
cerned at the error he had committed. The case
of Kinder and Williams, alluded to, is reported in
a very, obscure and slovenly manner, and might well
mislead even the most experienced Lawyer.
Mr. BIGOT maintained that Mr. Blackstock had
absolved himself from all intention to defeat the
Law. His undertaking to indemnify the Officers
was only to be referred to the circumstance of Mr.
John King's walking about with a stibpcena ton_
stantly in his pocket. It was intended to put the
Olto
on his guard against any attempt of Mr. King
to evade the operation of the Law, rvlr. Blackstock
was a young man just entering into business, and
conscious he had not committed the wilful error
imputed to Ithri by Mr. King, was ready to stibtriit
to What6Vei• his Lordship should think necessary to
the justice of the Case.
Mr. BELL extenuated the error in judgment on
the part of the Attorney. He Considered it of too
venial a nature to call for that severity of punish-
ment demanded by John King ; it was not the case
of a person who had wilfully and deliberately afted
wrong.

Mr. IVIANsiiPLO admitted that Mr. Blackstock
was a Gentleman of chraaer ; but his Affidavit; if
it could be attended to, placed the justice of the
country in a situation truly dangerous. In the first
place, it would be attended with consequences of the
most serious nathre, if a Sheriff's Officer, who ex.
petiented i# klifficulty in arresting a man, in conse-
quence of some proteaion he might have, was to
be encouraged by an assurance of indemnity, to
violate what the Law sandioned. It ought to be
knOWn, that an Attorney, though he might in-
demnify a subordinate Officer against the pe-
cuniary consequences of an • illegal aI, Could
not indemnify him against imprisonment. Mr.
Blackstock, instead of emboldening the Officer to
disobey the Law, would have done well to have told
him if Mr. King insisted on any proteaion, to have
inquired into the validity and legitimacy of it ; btit
it appeared that Without any such inquiry the Oa_
cers had arrested Mr. King; and that Mr. Black-
stock had agreed, right or wrong, to indemnify
theni. His Lordship Must_ besensible what would
become of the Courts of Justice, if such_ a proceed-
ing as this was, could be tolerated with impunity.
LORD CHANc g r. ot '(Er.nos.)(4 What remains
to be done, is between the Court and the Parties.
Mr. King has nothing to do with it. It seemed to
me, I own, when I heard the Affidavit stated with
reference to the Officers, and Pound that so much of it
related to what Mr: Blackstock had said and done,
that I should not have acted right, if I had looked
only to the case of the Officers without adverting to
that of the Attorney, who appeared as the Minister
of the Court, giving dirations to a subordinate
Minister to violatl that Law it was his duty to sup. .

Ore. I ins the less wi..ing to have ammiii, c? 4,3
upon the condua of that Cemtlenian,
knew he was a respettable mao, oini
been sorry if it had turned out to hive •en
reprehensible than certainly is. To say the least
of it, it is rash, though it is impossible', under all.
the circumstances; to consider it as ConteniptuonStci
the Court. It appears to me to stand thus; •
Mr. BliCkstock's A Sla vi t : —that he took ;he
case in the Fourth Term Report (which clearij
does not seem to have understood) to be Liw, tie
supposes that my Lord KEN.YON, by that dcci,.l.a-i;
authorised a person to be arrested under the cir-
cumstances of this case. It is stated by Mr.
/stock, that he did not conceive Mr. King was
attending under a suMmans, from the Cooittila.:
sioners, but merely as an ordinary Creditdr to prove
his debt. I should 'pause a
,great whi.e before
would say that a person attending at Guildhall, or
any other place, to prove a debt under a Bankrupt-
cy, was not prorated from arrest, and for this rea.:
son it is the only mode in which he can sue. If
a man is attending a Court of Justice to pr,seente
a claim, he is proteded from arrest i-undoi /no..
rands, et redeuedo, consequently if ;he Law, as in
the case of Bankruptcy, compels a man to one
particular mode of enforcing his der-hand, it should
seem that he is entitled to the sa'..ne degree of
personal protedion, as if prosecuting his suit in
any of the Courts of Common Laski. It is not
necessary, however, to discuss this question.—
It is enough to say, that it is involved in suffici_
ent doubt and obscurity. to prevent any Grntle.
man being charged with • a contempt of Court
for adopting his own constrtidion of it. I agree
with Mr. MA NSF I . LD, that it is improper in the
full extent of the term, for any Attorney to
presume to indemnify an Officer for aktting
trary to what the Law will justify. I n ish It to he
very distindly understood, and particularly by the
Officers of the Sheriffs, if any are here, that how-
ever an Attorney may indemnify them froM the pet
cuniary consequences of a breach of thei-r duty, the
Law must be upheld by that mode of froni
the effed of which no Man can indeninify anothe..
The punishment I. mean is impriSonmeni; which, in
the case of wilful delinquency, must ever be severe.;
Upon this occasion I have looked through the
Affidavit cif the Officers, and I confess' it does not
seem to Me they have been aging in contempt of
the Court. It is a good deal in their favour they
had: the authority of Mr. Blackstock. I Nave nd
doubt, upon principles of law and reason, as veil
as upon the enactment of the Statute, that per,;
sons attending a• CoMmission of Bankruptcy, as
well as those who are summoned by the Commis_
sioners, are protedied from arrest ; yet when I ad-
vert to what Lord KENYON is supposed to have said;
in the case of Kinder Williams, there is; I con.:-
fess, sufficient to create a doubt ; though supposing
the latigtr•g,e imputed to him in the Report to be ae..
curate,. the dodrine is certainly new., Under these
circumstances, therefore, and having it 'explicitly'
understood, .that such a thing as this must never
happen.Ogain, I dismiss the Parties. I however
think it right Mr. Blackstock should riy all the
costs. I wish for the sake of that Gentleman td
state, than he pes out of this Court with as un.:
blemished a charader as he came in."

to his great stirpriie, he found her living in quality
of a Mistress With a Gentleman of fortune, who had
wrote to him several letters to cOnitiinte with him
for the injury he had occasioned to the young man,
which he. rejened with scorn; It appeared that
the Mother of the young Wornari was very criminal
in encouraging the vices of her daughter. The
young man was discharged ort a promise of pre_
serving the peace.

valued at 5 shillings, the property of William New-

their demeanour he judged their intentions to be
improper ; he accordingly kept back, and watched
their motions ; the Prisoner very leisurely tool, the
ankles stated in the Indilment, which were
hanging at the door, and put them into his cap:
the Prosecutor then came- up, -charged him with.
what he had done, and took the things from him.
He was afraid to apprehend him, the Prisoner being
a stout man, and no assistance near at hand.—He
accordingly suffered him to depart. However, he
very 'soon after taw A serjeant, to Whom he related
the circumstance, and described the person of the
Prisoner Serjeant said something of his
being an oid offender, and promised he should be
taken care of; accordingly, he soon after took him
into custody;
The material part of the Prosecutor's testimony
Was corroborated by a person who was coming
through the street at the time, and saw the-Prisoner
put the articles into his Grenadier's cap, as well as
the subsequent parts of tlle transaftion.
The Prisoner in his defence told a long-story,
the applicable part of which to the case was, that
his intention was to buy the cloaths for hit friend's
son ; he accordingly took ctiwn the articles to
examine them, but he denied that he deposited
them in his cap. -
A Witness appeared to his character, one of the
Serjeants of his own Company, who gave him a
good charader as a Soldier.; but as to his private
charader, honesty, &c. he could say nothing
about it. _ _ _

The Jury had no hesitation ill ending the
soner

Alexander, alias William Clews, was charged
with feloniously stealing two pewter quart pots,
and one pewter halfjpint gin measure, the property
of John Knight.
The Prosecutor, it appeared, keeps a Public.
house, the Britannia, in the, parish of St. George
in the East --The Prisonei was a member of the
Society of Odd Fellows, a lodge of which was held
at the Britannia. _ _ _

On the night of the z3d of June, the Prisoner
came to his house about r r o'clock at night, had
some drink, and afterwards' went up stairs to the
club-room, where two Gentlemen remained drink-
ing. He drank 'a share of some rum and water above
stairs ; the party came down, the Prisoner went
backwards fora short : time, and the two Gem.
tlemen went into the bar and drank a shill-
ing's worth of rum and water ; they had after-
wards some porter. The Prisoner joined them soon
after they came into the Bar, drank his share, and
vaid his proportion-of the 'reckoning ; about twelve
o'clock the two others went away, and the Prose-
cutor expressed his wish that the Prisoner would
go, it being very late; on.wlich the latter inquired
for a hook he had left oinewhere in the house. The
Prosecutor stated tie had observed the—Prisoner
looking over what appeared to be an account or
memorandum book while he was up-stairs. The
Prosecutor searched almost in every room of the
house for this book, but in vain ; the Prisoner stood
the while near the fire-place in the tap-room ; the
Prosecutor observed one of the quart pots lying
near where the Prisoner stood, and it appeared to
be much flattened ; this alarmed him, rnd he went
Up and caused his wife to get up, in case her assist-
ance should be necessary. When she had come
down, Mr. Knight told the Prisoner he had occasion
to speak to the watchman, and desired him to come
out with him. It was then past one o'clock. He
was apprehensive, being a-lame man, to charge the
Prisoner direly with what he had seen—however,
the Prisoner went out with him, and when they had
got near the watch-box,' the Prisoner. turned round,
wished him good morning, and attempted to go
away, on which the Prosecutor caught him by the
breast of the coat, and said, " my friend you have
sobbed me, and I'll have 'you taken care of ;"
he desired the watchman to help to I secure him,
which he did. It was proposed to take him to Sr._
George's watch_house, on which the Prisoner strug-
gled to get loose ; finding that ineffectual, he con-
trived to throw out a flattened quart pot from one
of his. great-coat pockets. When they arrived at
the watch_house the Prisoner was searched, and in
one of his coat pockets was found another quart pot
and in his breeches a half-pint gin measure.
The Watchman corroborated that part of the Pro-
secutor's narrative wherein he was concerned, as in
the apprehension of the Prisoner, conveying him to'
the watch_house, -searching, &c.
The pewter utensils were duly identified by the
-Prosecutor.

- The Prisoner being called upon for his defence,
• made a very long and elaborate address, " in
weil.selettvd phrase," to the Court and Jury,
on the occasion. He, gave an account of his
birth, parentage, education, hopes and prospOts
in life, settling in business (that of a b4okseller),
ill success, &c.—the latter he principally attri-
buted to the duplicity of pretended friends, and to
the spending too much of his time and substance in
convivial societies, '&c. The present unfounded
charge against him stung him .to the quick. He
then proceeded to narrate the particulars of. the.case,
according to his statement of it. The jert of. which
was, that he was so much intoxicated that night, as
to be utterly unconscious of what was passing, or
even of what he did. He recolleaed his desiring
*Mr. Knight to look for his account book, which
was of infinite consequence to him.' He knew not
how the pots came into his possession. The gin
measure, he understood, was taken out of his waist-
coat pocket.

Several Witnesses, some of them were respeaable
looking persons, appeared to his charafter, which
they stated to lie h favourable one. He had been
for-some time in the. bookselling business in the
Eastern quarter of the town: the last Witness who
came forivard, was the Prisoner's own father,
Whom the Court, for.obvious reasons, declined to
examine.

Mr.Comnlon Sf rjeant,SYt vEsTER, summed up the
evidence, and gave his opinion upon the case.--
,There appeared to him to be too much' of manage-
ment in the proceedings of the Prisoner, that night,
for one deeply intokicated. Charader should only
weigh in -doubtful cases, and if the 'Jury had doubts
under the evidence, the good character the Prisoner
had received, should be put into the scale of Mercy.
The Jury, after some consideration, brought in
a verditt of Guilty, but strongly recommended the
Prisoner to Mercy, on the ground of its being his'
first Offence,-and on account of the good charader
he had .received.

George Bozayer was indieled for stealing,
.on the
17th of June, two liveducks, value 45. the property
of Joseph Lawton.
This particuhr kind of case, unaccountably in-
terested the auditory in aconsiderable degree. Ac-
cordingly they were remarkably' attentive, and se-
veral came in purposely to hear it. The circum-
stances were briefly these :,—The Prosecutor is a
farmer a few miles from London : on the morning
rof the ,th of June, very early, one of his sons
was alarmed by a noise in the yard, and the crying
of ducks ; the person alluded to instantly awoke his
brother, and looking out at one of the windows they
saw the Prisoner in the ad of getting over the gate,
and with a sack in his hand : they pursued him,
and in the pursuit he let fall the tack :—they over-
took him, and on charging him with his conduct,
he said he was only looking for a place to lie down.
—To the interrogatory, " Then why did you run
away ?" no answer was made. The sack was found
to contain two ducks belonging to the Prosecutor.
The Prisoner was taken about too yards from
Mr. Lawson's premises. The ducks and sack were
delivered to a constable, in order to keep them in
the usual way for the purpose of subsequent identi-
fication ; but the Officer having no conveniency
for the keeping of.ducks, requested the Piosecutor
to take charge of the feathered property until the
daY of trial.—This circumstance created some (if
ficulty in the.way of identification, but which at
last was got over to the satisladion of the Court
and Jury, after, a' due investigation of that essen-
tial point.
The Prisoner's defence was merely a denial of
the charge. No WitnesSes appeared for him.
The RECORD.ER,.considering the case, short and
clear, did not formally recapitulate the evidence.
The Jury immediately found the Prisoner Guilty.
David James was convided of stealing a silver
watch, the property of Ann Mackintosh.
John Williamson was found guilty of stealing
six pair of shoes, the goods of Richard Bond.
. Mary Dotery, a very old woman, was convided
of stealing a quantity of Carpenter's tools, the pro-
perty of John Hardiugham.
William Spaxter was found guilty of stealing a
packet-book, containing notes to the amount of :51.
and other papers, the property of Peter Poland.
