to constitute the crinic-Of• murder, there should' be

tends by such Malice,' it is not in the least degree
necessary that the person who kills another should
know the deceased, or know any thing of the de-
ceased, or hrre any particular malice against him
personally. By malice the Law does not require
that the person who kills another should have what
we vulgarly call spite against the deceased, but it
is sufficient that the accused should have a disposi.
tion to kill a human creature, and in pursuit of that
disposition does kill a human creature. That is an
ad of killing for which the Law finds no ex.
cuse, or extenuation. If a man was to fire
gun into this Hall, not intending to kill any
identical individual, but merely to take the chance
'of killing any one, and lie does kill any one, he

DORCHESTER ASSIZES.

A r these Assizes came on to be tried before Sir

A. TuompsoN and a Special Jury, an Indiettnent
against Thomas Spearing. Osmer, a Lieutenant in the
Navy, tbr obstructing Thom.ts Brown, the S;trjeant
at Mace of Poole, in the execution of his duty.
The Indiament had been removed into the Court of
King's Bench by a certiorari, at the instance of the
Admiralty. After the Counts in the Inditiment
were stated to the Jury by the Junior Counsel, Mr.
MooRE, Mr. JEKYLL opened the case on the part
of the Prosecution, and
:dwelt with considerable
I,,rce and animation on the necessity of preserving
inviolate the. Laws of our Country, which are the
admiration of the surrounding nations, and which
would become of no use, if the Civil Officer could be
obstrkted in the execution of his duty by the mili-
tary with impunity. The obstruction complained
of in this instance.,- was by an Officer in the Impress
Service, and it was accompanied with language and
conduct, on his part, which. did not become any
man,. and much less an Officer in His Majesty's
Navy. He declared that he felt as high a value as
any man for the Service, and held the Officers of
the Navy in the highest estimation, but he could
not see with indifference men like the present De-
fendant, insult a Civil Officer with language which
he was almost ashamed to repeat, and assault and
imprison him while in the discharge of his duty ;
and although the Defendant was acting as an Officer
in the Impress Service, yet that was no justification
to him, for he was bound to obey the Law, and to
suffer a Civil Officer, who was in the execution of
his duty in a ministerial capacity, to execute with-
out interruption that process which the Law obliged
him to execute. He. considered the impressing men
into His Majesty's Navy as rather tolerated than
sanctioned by our Laws. But at all events, he could
confidently state, that an Officei in the Impress Ser-
vice had no right to impede a Civil Officer. He then
stated the fads ache case, which were shortly the

FEBRUARY 25.

After General MARMONT had arrived here, i
Rear-Admiral VEVAPJEL received orders to sail
with a great part of the Flotilla from Flushing to •
Dunkirk and Boulogne. On the iBth, a general
Embargo was laid on all Vessels in the Island of
Waleheren, probably to prevent the Enemy from
obtaining intelligence of the sailing of the Flotilla.
On the i9th, a large division of the Flotilla, con_
sisting (f. nearly too Vessels, viz. of zs Gun-
boats, and 75 Flat-bottomed Boats; having on
board two French Demi-Brigades from the ter-
ritory of Hanover, got under sail in the pre-
sence of a great concourse of speetators. About
noon the division was out of sight, but in the even-
ing returned unexpe.ttedly to Flushing, a thick fog
having arisen, and the wind become entirely -con.
trary. According to other accounts, the appear. .
ance of some English. Ships of War occasioned its
return to Flushing, where the wind continuing
contrary, it still remains. In the mean time, the
other part of the Flotilla at Flushing, consisting of
nearly zoo fiat-bottomed Boats, Transports, and
Gun-boats, has been got in readiness to sail.
General WlAiNioivi had fixed his Head-quarters
at Utrecht, in a house called the Papal House, hav-
ing been the residence of a Bishop of Utrecht, who
afterwards became Pcipe. Yesterday he reviewed,
at a little distance from the City, on a heath, which
was then covered with snow, a corps of 6000 meni
assembled.from different places. Some oilier Gene-
rats and Staff-officers have likewise arrived at
Utrecht from Paris. .
,
Yesterday in the afternoon, we had, a violent
storm with hail and thunder. -The lightning struck
the steeple of the great Church here, and about five
o'clock,it was observed to be on fire, but such im-
mediate assistance was given, that the fire was ex-
tinguished by seven, without having done any very
considerable damage.
General EI3LE, who commands the French Artil-
lery in our Republic, set eat the day before yester-
day for Hanover, where he will take the command
of the Artillery of the French Army, in the ser-
iritory of Hanover, in the place of General Do-

TO THE EDITOR OF 7.11 E SUN.
TeigNmouth, March 17.

SIR,

PAVING this day read in your Paper an ac-
count of a Fatal Duel, said to have taken place at
rise ;.ing's -Arms lon,, in this town, of which I am
L7indlyrd, and which I,presurro you extrafled from
alarliri Newspaper, I have to request the favour of
you (for the sake of the connexions of the parties,
residing at a distance, and whose feelings must of
course be generally excited on reading it.) to con-
trAid the sam-. immediately, as the whole of the
story, from beginning to end, is an impudent false-
hood.

I am induced to add, that the parties said to
have been Principals in the above affitir, never had
any quarrel whatever, and that the circumstance

BRIGHTON, JAN. 11.

YESTERDAY, towards six o'clock, P. M. His
Royal Highness the DUKE of KENT arrived at the
Pavilion. In the evening a Concert, at usual, was
performed by the PRINCE of WALES'S private and
military Band..,
This morning the loth Light Dragoons, the
PRINCE at their head, were reviewed by the Dugs
of KF NT on the Downs, who expressed himself high-
ly gratified at the healthy and veteran-like appear-
ance of the troops,and at the almost incomparable skill
which they displayed. The removal of this Regi-
ment for Guildford, in three divisions, it is said,
takes place on Friday, Satutday, and Monday next
Their Royal Commander, we are also informed,
accompanies the last division in their march, on
Monday.
The Entertainment which was recently given by
the PRINCE to a juvenile party of Masters an 4
Misses, at the Pavilion, has stimulated the Elegantes
here alternately to amuse their young friends it:
a similar way. An interesting and numerous ciicle,
of both sexes, was last night entertained by the
elegant Mrs. FINUCANE, with a 13all, kc. which
was highly enjoyed by all parties.

DUPI/AH, JAN. 8.

YESTE ILD AY a most distressing circumstance •oc-
curred here, which -threw the whole place, as well

greatest dismay and, confusion. About two o'clock

These premises have- ding been admired by strati.'

size, and containing exaaly as many windows as

with the greatest alacrity beat to arms ; their exam- ,
ple fottowed by the Lanarkshire Militia, guar-
ter, •e. As fast as the military assembled, they
repaired to the spot:where the fire was raging with
incredible
_fury.; both Officers and Privates used
their greatest efforts to extinguish the flames, by
carrying buckets of water, to aid the few fire en-
gines which were coiled-M from different parts of •
the town-;; nothing, however,
,could avail. .It being
now near tour o'clock, the conflagration had gained
too finlch lower to admit of any controul ; its blazes
were seen for nearly twenty miles round the coun-
try, particularly at Gateshead Fell, Hamsterley, and
.Houghton-le.Spring, which had a grand and awful
effeCt. By many it was supposed the whole town
was On fire; others anticipated still a greater mis-
fortune, and were, persuaded that the eal4miry had
been occasioned by the French, 'and would not he

The Plaintiff" is an 'ironmonger, the Defendant
brandy merchant. The latter wishing to have a
kitchen, range and topper, had given an order to
the forther to trait them. The copper did not' ad.
join the range, but intermediately communicated
with it by a flue, which was to convey -the heat
from the culinary fire to the copper, without 'any
expenditure of coalein addition to what was re.
quires* for the purposes 'of the. kitchen. By' some
strange' mismanagement, the bottom part of the
copper Was placed below the region of the fire. in
the grate, so that the heat, which, like the sparks,
naturally flies upwards, bad very little circa upon
the,copper. Under a violent fire in the stove for
the space of fourteen bouts, the water in the copper
with di ficulty acquired a .blood hear. This ad km

FURIOUS DOG.

A large dog, of the .mastiff breed, has for some
weeks past made incursions into the flocks of se-
veral cf the inhabitants of the parishes of Uldale,.
Ireby, Bolton, zrnd Cahibeck, in Cumberland, and
done considerable damage aniongst the sheep. He
had been frequently shot at, and pursued • by great
numbers of people, both on foot and or. horseback,
but to no •purpose.
Friday the 16th ult. was a day fixed upon for
the destruaion of this noxious animal ; and appli—
cation was made to Roger Williamson, Esq. of Snit-.
tlegarth, for his assistance. Early in the morning,
he sent his huntsman, along with the hounds, think„
ing that if they met with theAlog,, the hounds might
be useful,. not only in hunting, but likewise im-
peding him in his course.
They fell in with him in the parish of 13olton, •
and immediately gave 'dace, and pursued him
through the parishes Of Uldale, Ireby, part of Tur-
penhow, and into Bassenthwaite. Mr. Williamson
was not there at the starting, but joined them after
wards, and both he ard his huntsman knocked up
their horses. •Mr. Williamson got 'another from..
one of his farmers, and the hUntsman left his, and
pursued on.foot, but it was al! ineffeaual.; the dog
eluded his pursuers, and they lost him near Bas.
senthwaite Church.

The attempt having failed, Sunday the 18th
ult. was then fixed on to make another trial ; and
application was again made to Mr. Williamson ;
but he declined it, on account of the impropriety of
employing that day on such a piirpose.
Notwithstanding this hint, a number of people'
assambied on the Swag.), morning ; and after au in.
efft!dual search for the dog, many of them adjourned
to a public-house, \ where theY'spent the day: • '
