Tl E formidable preparations making in England,
appear more and niose to-awaken the solicitude of
the French Government, and dispositions are al-
ready made, at all events, as if War were inevitable.
It could hardly haire been hoped, under the present
circumstances, that the two Belligerent Powers
would tolerate the Neutrality of the Batavian Re-
public ; but if there were the smallest grounds for
uncertainty on that head, all hopes of the kind are
now totally vanished. We learn that France; has
demanded of the Batavian Government, that, :the
necessary preparations for the maintenance ofa-con.
siderable Corps of French Troops shall immediate.
ly be made, which Troops are said to be already
on their march for our Frontiers. Though this
measure be only precautionary, it proves how much
the French Government, notwithstanding the silence
observed by its Journals, attaches importance to
what passes in England. It was not possible to
imagine that the Fra.st CONSUL, after the high de-
gree of glory and power which he had acquired,
would ever yield to menaces. It appears that the
French Army destined to cover Holland in case of
Invasion, and, no 'doubt, also to make part of a
general Expedition against England, will be
distributed in the principal towns of .Holland.
It is.not yet known where the Head. Quarters, will
be fixed. is is said that General DUROC has set
Out for Berliir, to require of that Court the most
prompt measures with respect to the Electorate of
Hanover. Thus on every side, semi hostile prepa-
rations do not even await the declaration•of War,
and, without the intervention of a tutelary genius,
it seems ,that the friends of Humanity will in a few
days, have again to lament its fate.

General CJESAR BERTHIER, brother of the Mi.
nister for, War at Paris, and who had arrived in
Holland in quality of Chief of the Staff' to the Ex-
pedition to Louisiana, on Wednesday quitted the

ileivoets/u..ys,' to embark for Dunkirk, whenee he
will go to Tobago, with the charater of Captain.

that the departure of the Troops, at,:theilw44o.9l

DUBLIN, Mikßni

. WE have often had occasion to record 'anti admire
the glorious eondud of the Irish Yeomanry, and of
none more eminently than these • of .the City of
Duhlin : We have every day new pioufs of that pure
and sterling attachment to their King and Consti-
tution which has so much distinguished them, and
whith neither accident nor artifice can abate, and
we rejoice in every recurring opportunity of men-
tioning them with or most earnest approbation.—
Yesterday those Gentlemen of the Lawyers' Corps
who are now in Dublin, essembled in the Chancery
Chamber, and not wiihstandir4 "the necessary ab..
sence of several on thelCireuits (four of 'which are
going on) mustered 16 the amount of upwards of
one hundred. Their Resolution, which was unani-
mous, does honour to their zeal and patriotism. It
expresses their determination and readiness to ap-
pear in arms against the Enemies of our Country,
foreign and domestic.
Our Readers who recolleft the example set by
the Bar in 1796, at the origin of the Yeomanry
Institution, will properly appreciate the value of
such conduit in men, on every account so truly re..
spedshle.
The Rotunda Divisional Corps, and the Corps of
Liberty Rangers, have also come forward to ex-
press their readiness to support the Honour of the
Empire.
We observe too, with satisfadion, that the At-
tonics Corps, a body whose ardour and services can
never be forgotten, have been summoned by their
iCOmmanding Officer to meet on `Thursday next.
In the different parts of the country the several
Corps of Yeomanry are coming forward with offers
of service ; and when we remember the transactions
of 1798, we will confess that such services are in-
estimable.

THE F.INC JoH:f

Tors was an India n:tat against the Defendara7;
for a misdemeanour, in setting fire to shed;
room, in his possession, in order to burn down the
neighbouring houses, With intention to deliatai the
Insurance-Oases.
Mr. Gmotow stated, that the, Defendant was cri
Apothecary, residing, at Streatham ; that he foie.
married a niece of a Mrs. nr.sno,
.who was
session of the house which, they imputed to him, he
meant Co burn down. This house was situated in
a little row of houies, called Brind's-tow, at Ual.
wick, but at the .rinse of the fire was lett, ready.
furnished, to a Mr. Saunders. At tire back of
that houSe there was a Iran-to; as it Was called,
which contained a little mom, large, enough to bold
a bed, and over it was a cock loft.. [The nature
of the building was explained to the Jury by !
a model produced in Court]. 'l'iie division be_
tween this rooni and the house lett to Mr. Santis
dees, was brick for about six feet high ; but above
that height it was Merely hoard. This 'room had
always been in the occupation of the Prisoner ; and
on the z4.th of July, the day on which the fire hap.:
pened, he was seen to go into it riot a quarter of an •
hour before the flames burst out. He would state
to the Jury those cireurnitatices which led tai sus—
picion that the fire was wilfully oecasidned; and
that the prisoner was the guilty hand who eave
rise to the Mischief. He had already told them;
that about eleVen o'clock on that mornings, be
was seen going into that toOm, and that the
flames burst forth iii a few minutes after he Was
seen to quit it. This alarmed the ! neiaLboora
hood ; and a Mr: LoNGMORE, whom he should
call first; rushed in, and by his exertions it was
extiOguished: The following state of things
then presented itself :--There evidently had been
no fire in the fire.place.--aThe bed cantaine anti
the feet were draWn up, and thrust thiough the
ceiling, front which some plaister hid been broke
down, so as to form a line of communication for the
fire to the rafters and floor of the cock-loft. Twi;'
of those floor boards were raised up, anti supported.
at the ends in that position; evidently for the put.
pose of giving access to the air, to increase the
flame; on the bed was a deal box, in which a quantity
of spirit of rurpeaine had been spilled. Under the bed
were two hat-hexes, one containing a quantity of
paper dipped in spirits of turpentine ; the other con.:
raining loose paper. Two phosphoric matches were'
found on the floor, with two pieces of wax tapers.
which had been lighted. Between the rafters evaa
stuffed a quantity of loose tow just where mhe
curtain was ioserted ; and front the floor of the
cock-loft -some pieces of board were set edgeways;
to condua the flames to the wooden divisioh between
that place and tiamiders's house: The fire having
'been so suddenly discovered, and fortunately as sada
denly extinguished, the whole of this scheme was"
apparent,: Mt. Fern, the DefetOant, was inime-
diately sent for, but he did not choose then to t:orne.;
He, however, made his appearance in the eveoiova
and 'a hers these things were pointed out to lam, le:
said he' must -confess appearances were against hiM;
but he protested his innocence. To:explain ihesuna
usual situation of the. bed ciatatirlaa he ratid,he could
not say how. it happened, but; perhaps,-in flotiris ha •
ing his stick it might have been. thrown in that pr.a.a
sition. The -fury; he was conviteeda Must see thsr
absurdity of titis account ; and as there could be Int-
doubt: of the, Cal of the fire, the only, qu.+!sti.on,
would be; whether these circumstances did not
chew that the Prisoner had done it with the guiltyr!
intention imputed to him.
A Mrs. Bellamy said, she lived in Mind's-I'6W;
Norwood. Mrs. Preston occupied 1.4 e house next
to that which had the /ean-ta, in the possession 'of
the D4:ndant. On Saturday morning; the /4,th of
Julys she. Saw the Defendant come across the Com_!
snort and go to that room ; he had riot left it above•
a quarter of an hour when site was alarmed with
the cry of fire from Mrs. Preston; and going up he,t-
stairsi they saw through a hole looking I.mto the
cock-lofr of the lean-t), that 'it was full of so:takes!
She irnmediately ran to fatch'a pail of vAtet.;; as she
returned, she met Mr. Long-more, Who took it
from her, broke open the room-doer, and Ify a few

Mr. Serjeant I3EsT, for the Defendant, 'made an
ingenious defence. He said he shridld acentint for

that a tire had been in the root* On the day pieced-
ing, and in all probability a•Spatkltirl flown on 'the

flame. He added, that if his Witnessesraised only
a. doubt 'in the mind of the Jury,
,they ought to
.acquit the .Defendant, as no man Might to be dm-
vide& but upon s4tisfaetory, testimony.
To 6:plain these circumstances, he called Mary

fendant. The day before the fire, She and her mas.
ter aod mistress. walked ruin their house at Streat.
ham to-khegarlfen Her master Wcrit On to whit a.

her master did it two or three weeks before the fire,
became he wanted to see the thickneis of them, in
order to know, whether they would not do to make
a new top to the counter. Improbable as this story
was, she did not vary or cuntradia any pact of it in
cross-examination.
Thomas Sitvester, apprentice to the defendant,
was called to prove that his master had taken the
spirit of turpentine to that place, to make an em-
brocation for a patient at Norwood, but he could
not tell the name of the patient.
After a very forcible reply from Mr. farrow,
and a minute detail of the evidence, with able com;
menus by the Learned judge, the jury found a
tr.!rdin of Guilty. The Prisoner was immediately
sentenced to stand in the pillory, in the Borough,
to be imprisoned for two years, and twand sureties
for his future good behaviour.

James Mac C 011,711 was onateted for forging an
indorsement upon a Bill of Exchange, for +5.31.

The circumstances of this case h-ave Area* been
detitiledrin the report of the trial of Louis Richards,
who was indicted last January Sessions at the Old
Bailey, for tittering the bill knowing it to be
forged. The bill was drawn by a person of the
name of Mann, residing at Jamaica, in favour of
Captain Nathaniel Kinnaird, and addressed to
Messrs. Dickasons, merchants, London. Kin.
naird had indorsed it in favour of John Mac
Connel, and the Bill was inclosed in a lever, address.
ed to J. Mac Connel, merchant, London. Mr.
Mac.Connel, to whom the letter was addressed, had
formerly resided in the West Indies, but now lived
at Reading in Berkshire, and could
.not be found by
the address nn the letter. In consequence of which
the letter was put up in the list in the Post-office
yard, among thoSe of persons nor known, in or..
der that the readers of that list, if they should
happen to know
.any such person, may add their
address. Some One added to this address, " King's
Bench Prison." According to the usual course of
business, the letter was sent to the King's Bench
Prison, where Mac Cannel was then a prisoner for
debt, and delivered op him as to John Mae Cannel
for whom the letter was intended. Thus it was
that the Prisoner became possessed of the Bill. The..
fait of the delivery of the letter containing the Bit!
was provied by the letter carrier, and the Officers of
'the Post Office. The Prisoner being thus possessed
of the Bill, a man who had been a fellow.prisoner in
the King's Bench with him, but who was then dis.
Charged, was proved to have taken the Bill to John
Hogg, a general .agent, to whom he was indebted
Is or 161. Hogg discounted the Bill on the 28th
deduding his debt, and gave Richards
the-balance. The Bill then had upon it the indorse.
Merit of 'll J. M.ie Cannel." As he took it to
Dickasons, the acceptors, and they said it would
be paid when due, he had no hesitation in giving
cash for it.
Philip Stanhope' proved, that the indorsement of
" J. Mac Cannel*" was not the handwriting of
the Jahn Mac Cannel for whoth the bill was really
intended.

Thomas Emerton, Chambef-Master of the Xing's
Bench 'Prison, proOed, that while Richards (who
discounted the bill) was in the King's Bench N.
son, he chummed, that h lived, in the same
room with the prisoner. It was also proved,, that
when the prisoner was apprehended, a copy of thebill
was found in his hand-writing, and the letter which
had originally inclohed it. Some of the notes which
had been paid by Hogg in discount of the Bill, were
also traced through several sources to the hands of
the Prisoner.

Serjeant BEsT, for the Prisoner, argued that
it was no forgery for the Prisoner to write his own
barriei but the Learned Judge immediately over.

determine whether he did it with a fraudulent inten.
