LONDON, FEBRUARY 2+, ►h')3.

WE scarcely, recalled an occasion on which the
House of Commons has done itself, in our humble
opinion, more credit, than in its unanimous Vote
last night on "the Subjea. of the PR INC a of WAS. ES'S
Establishment. However highly we approved of
the Measures adopted by the Legislature some years
ago, for the gradual extinElion of' the Debt 'which
His Royal Highness had unfortunately incurred, we
have for some time past felt strongly, in common,
:we believe, witli.a generous Public, for the cond.
nued inconveniences which His Royal Highness ex.
perienced, and was fur years likely to experience,.
from the very confined Income to which he had
been in consequence redticed ; and to lament that the
Heir• Apparent to the Crown should, from whatever
causes, still be.doomed to move in a sphere so incon.
sistent with hii high station. ',There is a Period,
.
,;.• •
when • youthful indiscretion, even ,a ,Private
Individual, 'should cease to be recolleelecl with as.
periey, 60 even unkindness, especially after many
years have elapsed of severe constraint and priva-
tion, which had resulted from it. The wise measures.
which had been adopted by the Parliament... Which,.
in the year 1795, took into consideration 'HisßoYal.
Highness's Embarrassments, have been thus far corn.
pletely carried into cilia :—a great part of the
Debt has been adually discharged—that Aft still
continues in .forCe i—and the Paixcit has bien
obliged to pass, no inconsiderable part of the prime
of his life-in a state of comparative privacy and re.

tirement.

As our Report of the Debate on this interesting
subjeet, will fully explain the grounds on which the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opened the
Proposition to 'the House of Commons, it would

be
Opel-Ho:Ws in Us to enter Into any CICIaIICIS
COMtlittit 'it. His statern6t was perspicti-
ous, -unreserved, candid. and manly. The
.syMpathy
of the House was.-eyinced by the -unaniMity
with which the Motion .Wail carried, • and by the
inconsiderable objections Which were made to it in
the course of 'the_ a:bate. Averse, as we ever
should be, to the rigorous perseverance in atiy Sys.
tem, which by obscuring the proper splendor, must.,
continue to Wound the feelings, and diminish, to
a, certain degree, the proper itgluence of any Branch
of the august Family,now on the Throne, we can-
not but rejoice that a measure of restraint, which
had at one period been so properly. recommended,
and which was so universally approved by one eco-
nomical and liberal Minister, should at a subsequent
one (and wetannot doubt of its experiencing similar
approbation), be proposed to be set aside by a
no less liberal and economical Successor. The adop.-
tion of it is worthy of the early carter of the New
Imperial Parliament.'

WE yesterday announced the arrival of-Paris
.I)ape,s to the loth instant. The following is the
only interesting Intelligence which they Contain
A letter from Cape Francois, dated the isth of
December states, that the Blacks had been totally
defeated in
,an attack upon the French Camp Of La
Croix-des-Bouquets, with, the loss of isoo men,.
their Colour, and two pieces of Cannon.
The intelligence from Colstantinopir announces,
that the report of the English Troops being about
to evacuate Egypt, is. unfounded, and that they,
are likely to occupy that Country. some time longer.'
General Nay has written a long letter to the
Helvetic Minister for Foreign AfThirs, in which he
complains, that Switzerland is infested by a number
of Foreign Vagabonds, who commit every species
.of crimes, and that no measures are taken by Go.
vernment ,to repress these disorders. In this Let.
ter the General confesses that there is not that una-
nimity amongst the People of Switzerland in favour
of the Mediation of France which has been boasted
olio certain accounts from. Paris. " The Helvetic
'Government," he observes, " cannot but know, that
the political opinions of the mars of the Peopli are in.
flUeneed by men who have openly attacked the legi_
timate otuthority, -notwithstanding- the declared in-
tention of the, Fitisx, Costuo to enforce tesped
to the dispositions, lawii, and regulations . which
should emanate from it, until the, Cantonal Organi-
zation,. and the establishment of the New Order of
' Things."
The Enrinarier,of F.ndand, of coarse, come in for
their share of abuse. We.are told in this notable
prOdudtion, that " Emissaries from England, Officers
in her pay, and Old Pensioners of that Power, enrol
men under the eyes of the Civil Authorities, with.
out the least opposition being m %de to them.' A.
quantity of inert receive salaries to second their
audacious enterprtsrs. The Agents of the Secret
Police arc in some respells in %heir pay. A Coon.
ter Police exists in all parts of Heiv'etia, and all the
secrets of Government are knawo to.theoi;
" The Mediator of Helvetia is Ireatecl. with lit..
tie reipea in libels and pamphlet's circulated among
the, People ; the French Soldier is. considered as tho
enemy of Helvetic Freedom ; sevetal,of them ha.e
been the. vidims of the animosity- excited against
them, although, in general, the• French Troops have
01)v:stied a wise and moderate condua, and have
kept up that military discipline which koowi 11'
to re4)ei`i the property, and security of individuals,
whatever
.opinions they may entertain:" Li the
conclusion the Ss iss Government are railed upon io
establish and carry into effea a rigorous Syste of
Police, for the purpose of ensuring the tranquillity
of the Country, by expelling,those from its boom%
who disturb its repose:. The Government, obedient
to the. orders it received, immediately address id
the Letter to 411 the National Pit:leas, recommend,
tog them 'at the same tune to cooforin
,to

Tit IS aftion was brought to recover. of the De.
fendant. a penalty of tool. under the following
circumstances. James Eden, of Charlton Crescent,
Islington, gave Mr. Robinson, whO is a . dealer
in coils, an order for fivechaldrons, Pool measure,
and there was a deficiency of 2.7' bushels in that
quantity. There would be no doubt whatever of
this deficiency; but he understood it was meant to
be said, on the other side, that the Defendant was
not Rogue by Pool measure : he was only a Rogue
by Wharf measure. Mr. Eden ought to stave had
bushels, but he had only 162.
Popes Eden said, he had given an order for these
+Coals on the 27th of March, 1802, and they were
sent to him on the 3 tst of the same month., They
came in two waggons. There were 32 sacks in one
of these waggons., and 3r in the other. They were
te.measured under the inspeetion of Thomas Bigg,
of the Cual.meter's Office, and there was a deficiency
of ;7 bushels.
Mr. MARRVAT, Counsel for the Defendant, told
bis Lordship and the Jury, he should satisfy them
tbat this was not a contraft to deliver Otte Coals
by Pool measure, but by Wharf measure, and there.
Are if there was a deficiency by that Wharf measur.
ing, it most be got by another mode of proceeding.
lie should also shew them, that Mr. Eden ought rot
to be believed upon his oath. When speaking of
an oath, he bad been heard to say, it was only kiss..
ing or biting his thumb.
The Person to whom this' order was delivered
was called, and he endeavoured to shew, that the
order was for five chaldron of Coals Wharf measure,
by chewing that Pool measure was not mentioned
what) the order was given.
Two persons swore that they would not believe
IVIr. Edeo upon his oath.
Eden had brought an Anion grainer each of these
two witnesses, 84 therefore he could not be ex.
petted to stand very high in their favour.
A third witness was called for the same purpose,
but he said he'ihould believe him upon his oath,
provided he was'not prejudiced.
The Jury said they were perketly satisfied on the
subjed ;, and that in was unnecessary to proceed any
farther.

The jury found a verdia for a penalty of tool. on
the first count.

COURT OF COM.kioN PLEAS, ha. 17.

WATTS v. CAMPBELL.

The Plaintiff is a chemist and druggist in the
Strand; the Defendant a watchmaker, in the same
street, it was stated in evidence that the Plaintiff
formerly employed as a shopman, one Thomas Hat.
rison, whom he suspeaed of embezzling his pro.
perry, and at length detected, when .not only the
money which' immediately led to his discovery was
found in his possession, but other property belong.
ing to his master to a considerable amount, and upun
being questioned as to the extent of his infidelity,
Ibe confessed to have taken in tit . same way to the
amount of near tool. That Harrison had been
tried for part of the offence, at the last Oelober Ses.
signs, and aequitted, owing to some informality in
the proceedings. Amongst the property found, was
the Damlant,'s acccinancOt dated August 26th,
1402, for Sol. upon which thi9 anion was brought,
and which sum Harrison said he had lent the Dc.
fendant, and taken the acceptance as a security,
That Harrison declared it was his master's property
he had'so lent. and gave up the acceptance (stating
that• the name of the J'ayee was fiOitious) in part re.
sfitution. 'that after Harrison bad been lodged in St.
Mr tin's watch-house, the Plaintiff, in company with
Mr. Christian and Mr. Green, tradesmen of much
respeelability in the neighbourhood,. waited on the
Defendant to know, wheiher he would pay the at.
eeptance then; that Campbell acknowledged it to be
his hand.writing, and that be had received the vat.
hie lot it of Harrison, but declined paying it at that
eiene, assuring the Plaintiff, however, he would pay
it when due; and upon Mr. Watt's observing that
the bill was made payable to thcorder of a mere
nominal person, Campbell acknowledged the fad,
but said he would pay it to the bearer when due,
notwithstanding the want of indorsement. When
presented in due course for payment, it was refused
fur want of the indorsement of tile Payee.

AT a late hour last night ,the Courr passed Judg.
ment of Death on the following Prisoners who had
been capitally convi6ted in the course' of the Ses.
Sion : viz. Anthony Jonquay, Rich. Gale, Moses
SblomOn, and Christian Horn, for Burglaries ;
Fordyce Gowlan, Rich. ,141rtly, and Thomas Gould
for stealing beyond s certain amount in 'a dwelling.
house ; Joseph Jemn'ett, for forgery ; Michael
Healy, for feloniously personating a seaman.; Ro-
bert Matthews, forhighway robbery ; Henry Hill;
for returning from transportation.; and Ann Wind-
sor,for, arson.

No trial of any public interest, or importance,
took place- in the count, of this day-.
Zilzabeth M tcbell, -vv. unfortunate girl of the
town, was charged with feloniously stealing half-a.
gtrinea from the person of Alexander Miller. The
case was of that nature which precludes a detailed
description, and of such a complexion, as to induce
the Jury to acquit. the Prisoner.
