nwLdge of the deceased ; on Wednesday last
Wit oe,s was at hip work digging in The shrubbery at
Lord HoLLAND's, when he heard the report of two
pistols, oiie co- which went off several seconds after
the other; on looking towards the spot from whence
the report of the v;stols had proceeded, Witness saw
the smoke, and immediately told the man, who was
at work with him (John Murray), that he believed
a titt.7l bad, taken Mace; Witness immediately went
towards the second field, and looking throughlt gaj in
the-hedge, saw Lord CAMELFORD and four others.;.
they appeared to be: about ten yards when
-Witness
first saw them from the hedge, and near boo yards
from him; on coming to the gap, Witness was. Is
yards from the parties; Lord CAMELFORD. was then-
lying on the ground,' supported by a Gentleman,
and two Gentlemen were coming from him towards
the road ; W-fitness called loudly to the rest of the
men who had been. alarmed by the firing of the pis-
to/s, to stop the Gentlemen who were'gOing away;
they accordingly pursued them, but did not find
them ; ..the person who supported Lord CAMEL.
FORD, on seeing the Witness advance, begged. him to
come to his assistance, which he did, and the other
instantly left them .to go in search of a Surgeon ;
when Witness was with Lord CAMELFoIt 13, the latter
asked why he had called to the people ip stop
the
Gentlemen; who had crossed the field, observing,
that he (Lord CAMELFORD) was the aggressor; that
he also forgave them, and hoped God would forgive
them. 'Shortly after, a person named John Iron
came to their assistance ; Witness then asked. the
deceased if he knew his friends that were on the
ground,•or who the opposite party were ? to which
the deCeased answered, " he knew nothing, he was
a deed man." A chair was then procured, and •
the deceased was carried to Mr. OTTY'S, where he
was undressed and put to bed, and a wound ap-
peared in hi: right breast.

IIoLLAND, said, he saw the gentlemen walking up

the deceased). Witness went ;up and found Lord

Whiam in carrying the deceased to the
house of Mr. OM, where •Mr. TIIOMrsoN the.
Stirteon'attended him. The distance at which the

steps iii tier grass, the impression of which still
oiained:where the ground had:-,been marked out.

and lodged lb the spine. The deceased did not at
any time. recover the use of his lower extremities,
but linguiSheil until Saturday evening, when he
expired. Witness was present when the body was
opened 'on Sunday afternoon, and found the ball
had broke 'the fifth rib, passed through the lobe of
the-- lungs, -and lodged in the passage of the spinal
marrow, through the sixth.vertebr= of the back, in
eorrsequerrec of which the death of the deceased en_
sued.-
The above being- all the evidence that coald'be
-brought •forward, the Coroner addressed the jury
With observing, that from the-fats before them, th,ey
were enabled to decide, that the deceased had been

bnlaWfUlly deprived of life, by
Shot;,bet who fired it, no evidence had been able to
-prove; they could nut, therefore, according to the
law (which he stated as relating to the subjeCi),
'find 'their 'Verdia otherwise than Wilful Murder

Jury accordingly decided to that effal.

ARREST OF PICHEGRU.

PARIS, FEB. 29.

Pt CH E GKU was arrested yesterday morning in the
stree Chabangis : he had slept the preceding night
in rile Fivienne. ..Some days before, he was near the
Pantheon ; he changed his lodgings frequently. Se-
veral of these places of akode cost him from zo to
c,OOO francs. Six gen: aistnes and an agent of Po.
lice„,Fnterrd his room so unexpectedly, that he had no
time to make use of the pistols or the dagger which
lay on his table: he endeavoured,however, to defend
himself, and wrestled with the gens d'ames for aluar.
ter of an hour. He tried to excite their compassion
for his fate ; but_one of them jeplied (uccording to
the Official Journal) "Go, we know you no longer;
you arrived loaded with English gold—you have
become the hired assassin of the English—he that
betrays his country-ceases to be a Frenchman."
It has been proposed to the Legislative Body, to
declare as accomplices, and to subjeet to the same
punishment, all those who shall harbour or cimceal
GEORGES ; as likewise the sixty miscreants in the
pay. of England, who are lurking in Paris and its
environs.

Centinels4re placed along the walls of Paris, and
no_person can .pass the barriers during night. 01E-
cet4 of Police, gent d'armes, &c. are upon guard by
day, examining the passports of pefsons going out,
to prevent miscreants from flying from- Paris, and
escaping the punishment which awaits them. The
citizens are emulous in pointing out the houses in
which such personssare supposed to be c,•ncealed.
On the sth Ventose, the English Luggers, un-
der the order-s of Captain WRIGHT, which are em-
ployed in-landing Traitors, approached the Coast at
Beville. Towards the evening a Frigate joined
them, and made to them signals to meet her. We
do not know whether she brought them news, or
more Traitors.
Any doubts which may have been entertained
here, and probably also abroad, of the existence of
the Conspiracy against the present Government, have
now ceased. There only remains to ascertain, how
far, and by What means, England has been active in
it ; and how BorcArootTE will-behave towards the
two great Generals, whose .viddries were the foun-
dation of the present preponderance of France. We
remember the glorious campaigns of PIt.IIEGRU, in
t794.and 1795 ; and who is there that has forgotten
the vidory of Hohenhaderz, by Moat:AU, without
reckoning his other military exploits ? Who does
not know that his vidorious army procured peace
to the Continent ?

General -Is/Init-rt ER was presented, on the Parade,
last Sunday,, as one of the four Generals of the
Guard, especially charged with the command of the
Artillery. ;-le received the greatest praise for the
conquest of Hanover, and the quickness with which
he had "overcome every impediment.

Some- Journals assert, that -a Telegraphic Dis-
patch bas informed Government, this morning, that
the KING of ENGLAND has been taken 111, and that
a Regency had been appointed to manage the affairs
of Coat Government. :We await the confirmation
of this news.

BRUSSELS, MARCH f.

The head_cluartgAs of the Army of Flanders are
now at Ostend. The Troops are.ready for theirand
4pe4ition. A great number of seamen, put in re-
visition, are also assembled in that Port, as are
likewise the merchant vessels pressed for the service
of the State, the gun-boats, flat-bottomed boats,
launches, &c. built in the principal cities of our De.
partments. The order for embarking is expeaed
every moment ; the Troops never shewed more zeal
and alacrity than- at the present time, :It is
thought, however, that we shall first. enjoy the pre-
sence of the FIRVT CONSUL at Ostend.

DUBLIN, MARCH 8.

• NEW BANK OF IRELAND.
On Thursday last His Excellency the Earl of
HARDW ICKE, accompanied by 'several of the Great
Officers of State, laid the foundation stone of the
New Bank of Ireland, on the scife of the late House
of Commons, in College.green: His Excellency
was attended during the, ceremony by the Governor,
Deputy Governor and Direaors of the Bank. Un-
der the stone was laid a plate of copper, bearing
the following inscription :

EDINBURGH, MAttcft 8.

The -3d Regiment of Dragoon Guards having re-
ceived their route for Ireland, the first division
marched trom Piershill Barfacks. this
This fine Regiment, which carries .with it the good-
wishes of this town and neighbourhood, is, we un-
derstand, to be repliced by the sth Dragoon-Guards.
On Saturday the detachments of the Royal
Cheviot Legion, which has been on duty in Ber-
wick-upon-Tweed since the 17th ult. were inspetted
by Colonel KERri, and notwithstanding the badness
of the day, acquitted themselVes to his entire satis.
faElion. They are.,soon to be relieved by a second
detachment of the same regiment.
A. point of law of a- singular and interesting na-
ture wasyesterday determined by the Court of Ses-
sion. The question, taken generally, was, Whether
a man, after having signified his intention not to
live any longer with his Ivite, could insist on her
leaving his house, and to betake herself to anAher
which he had provided for her ? In the particular
case before the Court, the Lady had resisted this
mandate, upon the ground that the husband had no
power to dissolve the marriage society without pre-
viously verifying a 'Cause. Memorials had been or.
tiered in the case, which were taken intti considera-
tion yesterday, when their 'Lordships,: after sev:e..
rally delivering their opinions,. found (by a majo-
rity of seven to four), that they could give the
Lady no relief, thereby confirming the right of a
husband to assign the place of residence of his wife
without his society.
