Such a scene of joy and chearful gaiety was never
Witnessed at Sheernete. The Inns were so unequal

THiLLUSSON V. Bt

Mr. Ettstartit moved for a Rule to shew cause
why there slOuld not be a net I'cittt in, this Case,
upon the ground that' the Verdure was a conclusion
not warranted by the Fads. The Cause' was tried
before his Lordship at Guildhall 'the 'last Sittings,'
and by twelVe very respeaable 'Merchants; :by,
whom, however, Mr. &OKI riF said, he had not-the'
good fortune to be well understood,. as to the point
on which he rested his defence. The ,Edon was 'l
upon a i'oliCy of Insurance on the Ship'Malabar, on
a voyage from the. Lie Of France or Bourbon; 'to
her Port of discharge, which' waS'Tonion'. She WaS
lost, he said, by chusing to be lost, Ault was to say;
by going toCadiL pending thtt'''.Wai,between France
811(1 Spain ; and the single question in The cause was,
Whether this Wai or was not a deviatioo ? He! eon.
tended, on the part of the Under-Writers., thar.this
was
,:t deyiation,.and which excused the Under-
writers frOm the loss that battened,' there being no
leave in. the POlicy (Or the VesSel to' touch at this
plaCe; The excuse forit Vas, that the Captain did
not, know that there was a War between Prance
and Spiin
.at the time he entered' this Port, and
that heWas Col.:finned in thinking-these two Powers..
were at peace, because, when he tame In sight of
some. Spanish ,Ships of War, he VOisted French co-
lours, and they sheered off';' thatlie had heard a..
rumour that Great Britain, at this time, was not;",
indecd'at Wa:r with 'France, but ...vas tricking pre-'
Oration for. Wu, and 'tlierel6it he altered' the
track he was pursuing, and lint :into'' Cadiz, in Or.:
der to.avoid the. cl'iaoce 'of beitCg_ expOied to the
English-CruiierS. Now, Mr.:Ertsx 114 E sai►j, this
was a species of speculatic.n, in, 'w-ldch the Master
of the Vessel had no right to indhige. He did* not
blame him for supposing, from the -condod of the •
Spanish Ships of War, that 'Spain was not at War
with France ; but he contended,'lll-at the ship' had -
no right to go out of its link, on the' rumour that-
Great Britain 'seas arming and preparing for War,
against France, and that, therefori, this was
viation, which, of course, exonCtated the Under- •
writcrs. His Lordship, at the ttial, laid down the
Rule to the Jur.), with perfect accuracy. Leaving
the Matter of .fac`t to them, his Lordship told them
the principle of Law which should guide :the cause,
namely, " That going ()tit of the track of the voy-
age must be from a necessity thar was urgent; and
in order to avoid perils and dangers that were really
impending." He maintained, that Great Britain not
being at War, but 'only preparing for .War with
France, could not be considered as a di tett iminediate'
urging peril, or impending danger, bat a mere' specn,
Litton of the Master of the Vessel, the which to en-
courage would'be highly dangerous ; arid therefore
he contended
,that this was a deviation in the voy-
age, which exonerated the Under-writers, and that
therefore the Verdict ought to have, been lot the
Detendant.
Rule to shew cause granted.

RAP.

t
Mr. GARROW moved tOr a rim of Habeas Cor. -
pus to be direeled to the Keeper of the gaol of the
Isle of Ely, commanding him to bring op-the body
of ). Nichols to be bailed. The commitment on
which he was, now in custody, was for a Rape. He
moved this on abundant evidence for the purpose,
tart of whieb was that which, he admitted, would
not be a gr,und of defence at the trial, that the
Lady was of easy virtue, and that the DclCndant
himself swore to the entire tion.retistance of the
Lady—not only that she did not resist what took
place between her and the Defendant, but that she
adu,dly laid a trap for the purpose of bringing him
into, that situation, and to &the Aly act which she
was now pleased to call a Rape. The Affidavits of
other persons stated, that she had been seen in a si-
tuation, which was' not' decent to describe, with
this 'very Defendant, both before and since the
time she charged the Rave to have been committed.
To this the Magistrates by whom the Defendant
was committed, added, in an Affidavit, that from
the circumstances disclosed before tivnn upon this
alibied, they should have thought it their 'duty to
have admitted this Defendant to bail, had They
possessed that power. Nor was this all, for this
accuser had sworn revenge op6o Abe Dekihhor,
anti said that ,she would burn down his house; that
before the Defendant came to her on the occasion
of the supposed Rape, she said she knew he would
pull her about, &c. and then she called it a Rape.
The Court said, that there muse acconipansy this
Habeas-Corpus, a Writ of Certiorari to bring, up
the proceedings before the Justices,'to whom notice
of this Rule was to be given, as well, as to the Pro.
secutrix ; upon which the Motion was granted.

Mr. REIDBR moved for an Information in the
nature of a QllO Warravto, calling on Richard Hard.
1... y to chew by what authority he claimed to be a
Freem►n of the Borough of East Retford, on the
ground that he was admitted in the same manner as
several others who had been ousted for want of a
good Title..—Rule to slim cause,

that tits trial is looked
to by the Crown Lawyers before the end of the en.
suing week. I-kis reason and his appetite have re..
assumed at leatt tlieif priitine vigour.
Tha accounts which at firsr transpired of the

employed about him by order olGovernmer.,....:
Ettetnet, who was arraigned yesterday, exhibited
less emotion in either coontenance or manner, than
on his first appearanceat the bar. He was dressed
in a black coat, with black 'silk vest, and grey hose
pantaloons. He kept himself as much secreted in
the bottom of the dock as he possibly could from the
anxious gaze of numerous spedators.,swhile in this
Situation, until. the COME sat, he read a News.
paper. When called to the bar to be arraigned, he:
bowed gracefully, and when the part of a very long
indietment had been read, which in the usual form
mentions being moved and seduced by the instiga.
ticins of ;he Devil, he was observed to smile sarcas.
lirolly.—He has a sallow complexion, sharp visage,
with quick and intelligent eyes, . which,, while in
ep‘uest discourse with his Agent and Lawyer, he,
seemed to close as if nearsighted, using at intervals
very animated and impressive adion. His whole
demeanour in Court appeared modest and decorous.
It is observed, that he bears no trace of family re-
semblance in his exterior asped to his Brother, T.
Addis Emmet, now the accredited Envoy at Paris,
from the newfangled Government in this Country. •
The horrid and fantastic gambols and expressions
pradised on the night of Rebellion by the 'Wives
and Daughters of the Pikemen, while encouraging
the excesses and procuring arms for the Insurgents,
could only be compared to the condud of their ami-
able Sisterhood, the Puissards of Paris.
Parties of depredators have shewn themselves_
within a few days in the County of Kildate ;..but
plunder, detached from any political view, seeps to
have been their: only objed. They committed a
robbery in mid.day at the house of a Mr. Frra•-•
ORItALD ; hut the Magistracy of that County, with.
tut any extraneous aid, are amply ,competent to
keep the lawless and all descriptions in order.

VIENNA, MAr.cti 9.

THE health of the ARCHDUKE CHARLES is again
gradually reestablished since his late indisposition ;
O that he was able, the dad•- before yesterday, to
att as Grand Master of the'Teutonic Order, at the
Solemn indutlion of the Archduke MAximitAAN
into that Order.

The Archduke JOSEPH, Palatine of Hungary,
whose late Consort was the Grand.Dutchess of
Russia, ALEXANDRA PAWLONA, set out for Pe.
tersburgh on the bth inst. Perhaps the journey of
the Archduke has a relation to the projea of a mar.
iiage between him and the PRINCESS of BAD EN,
who passed the whole of last year with her sister
the T-'44I)StISS of RusstA. Another allianc=e between
the ARCHDUKE Of AUSTRIA, tale GRAND DUKR of
TuscArty, and the only heiress of the ELECro% of
SAxoNy, appears likely to unite still wore closely
these two Houses.

They write from Rome, that his Serene Highness
the Hereditary PRINCE of MECKLENDURG STR E.
1.171, who, has been for seine time in that Capital,
had on the 24th ult. an audience of his Holiness,
Who received him with particular respe4l.

MARCH 24..

Tit E day before yesterthiy a man threw himself
from the top of the gate of St. Penis, on the pave.
ment of the Boulevardsl.—The moment he was
going to throw himself off; he called out to the
People who were passing—" Take care, my friends,
for I do not wish to hurt you."—He was killed on
the spot.

Citizen TRUMEAU, who was accused of having
murdered his daughter, has been tried and cOn'Vided
of that offence. His mistress, FRANCOISE CHAN.
TAL, who was suspeCted of being an accomplice in
,the murder, has been acquitted. ,

As the representations which the Hospodar, Prince
Yrs! t, Awr t has made upon this subject to the Pachaof
Widdin, have not produced any effedt, thC former has
taken measures of defence : he ;has armed all the in.
habitants, and guarded the different Posts,, The
direction of all these measures has been confided to
the Count D BE LI, AVAI.,. a ci.devant General in.
the service of Poland, and a Corsican by birth. He
is a man of vI ery great merit. Prince YIPAILANiI
displays grea activity : he is continually on horse.
back, and the Vallachians are singularly satisfied with
411 his dispo iions. Hitherto PASWAN 001.1.)V has
not attempted to force the barrier which is opposed
to him, and probably he will desist from his enter..

IN the present critical situation of Public Affairs,
it is t, be inenied that contrary wind deprives us
of the English Mail ; by the assistance of which,
in all probability, some more certain idea might
be funned, un the subjeels of War or Peace,
than at present. It is, however, certain, that
warlike preparations art carrying on with unex.
ampled viguur in the French Ports ; but, perhaps,.
from the same motives by which the English are in.
duced—,to obtain the best 'terms possible ; and, at
all events, the French will find an opportunity of
iturriing their equipments to advantage, which they
fly), either point against the Africans in St. Domin_
go, or the. Pirate of Algiers.

So far as the circumstance may increase the ap-
prehensions of War, we are concerned to see that,
from the aoth to the zad inst. the French Funds fell
no less than 3 per ct. the 5 per cm being on the lat-
ter day 56 f. But then it should be recolleaed that'
they were daily declining before a syllable was kAwn
of the King of England's Message to the Parlia-
ment. From Amsterdam, too, we have intelligence
that the Funds there had fallen 3or 4. percent.
On the other hand, we are cheered by the report,
that an express has arrived in this country with the
agieeable intelligence that the point of dispute' is
nettled:: hot as the report is unaccompanied by parti.
culars, we fear that the intelligence is premature.
This unpleasant state of uncertainty has a consi-
detable influence on Commerce; every one. fearing
to purchase, and every one afraid to' sell.

There is at present little transaiting here in the
Funds. The Rescriptions were done to.day at 04. f,
and left Off at 65. per cent.

it is with peculiar satisfatlion we echo a report,
.that several return East-India Ships have approached
the Coasts of this Country, and that tome of thew

The Colours found on board the vessel stranded
near Shoreham three mbnths since, were those of
the Ligurian Republic. This has, been ascertained
by comparing tlirm at Lord I-Ltwx MIURY'S dice.

had on board about 2000 stand of arms:

Major BROWN, formed them into a circle,. and
addressed firm in an animated speech, in which he
acquainted them that Government had received
information, that part of the, Dutch and French
Troops had embarked on board the Flotilla, and
were destined for this Country.
,In consequence of
this, he felt it necessary to ask the Corps, whether an
extension of their services would be agreeable to
theM ? The Major had no sooner concluded his
dress, than the whole Corps testi6ed 'their assent by
loud acclatriations, and they offered to extend their
services to any part of Great Britain.- The music
all the while played God Save the King.

fir ,d the lath I stated a. few days ago have
attraded the notice of' your Correspondent Frrr.
ALatoN. I could not suppose that either Mr.
ADD! NGTON or his Brother, who had'been raised
by Mr. PITT 10 every thing they enjoy, could VC
been, guilty of such base ingratitude as to be the
circulators of falsehoods tending to traduce his cha.
ind upon, inquiry I found that neither of
them had circulated the libel to which I alluded in
the Near Obierver.

I am far from justifying, the former however
for suffering his Dependants to ,promote the circtila.
tion of that work, which Tam equally aware they
have done; and I agree that Mr. ADDINGTON
should not be neutral upon inch an Occasion—bur
there is surely mire difference. between Arritryho

• The Calumnies and Falsehoods d the Near O6_

friendship often proves injurious to the cause it means
to serve--and there is nothing more, evitlent than
the impnlicy of those who think they serve Mr.
Ano N roN by circulating that work. This is the
lesson I would give, to the Secretaries of the

to the perils of the sea ; some of them had after.
wards represented, that she was not found property
in Boas, 4c. and that the loss was to be ascribed
to that cause.

After evidence had been produced to substantiate
thisstoternent,

Mr. Grans, on the part of the Underwriters,
stated, that the reason why they had defended this
anion was, that several of the Sailors on board vo.

not sufficiently found in boats, cables, Am and that
the loss was entirely to be ascribed to that cause.
