It is stated in a French Paper, that the English at
present at Paris proposed to give on the t Bth a grand
Supper, followed by a Ball, in. honour of the QtiE N'i
Birth-day ; 'but it appears that the subscription, for
this purpose was not supported by a certaia clan,
who did not approve i3f the amalgamation of ranks
.and .conditions which- • this would create. The
English, in general, adds the French writer, greatly
lovelofitical equality, but that' is not carried too
far.

The second of March is appointed for a day of
Solemn Thanksgiving, throughout the Batavian

Great changes are soon. expthed to take place in
the Administration at Vienna. The Archduke
Louts will, it is said, be appointed to the Govern.
ment of Bohemia; the Archduke VICTOR 'ANTHO-
NY to that of Venice ; and the Archduke. CHARLEi
will take the Title of First Minister. The Arch.
duke REGNER will embrace the Ecclesiastical pro.
cession, with a'view of being raised to the dignity'
of Coadjutor to the Eleaor Arch-Chancellor..
That detestable. Paper The ,4rgus, published in
Paris, as appears by an extrati from it in one of the
French Journals which we received yesterday, with
the most unblushing effrontery and wilful violation
of truth, persists in placing Mr. WtcxuAb4 at the
present moment at Vienna, carrying 'on plots and
intrigues against the French Government !
We were wont to look to the Dublin Papers for
pretty accurate accounts of Murders and Jnsurree.
tions, but even this intelligence, it seems, they are
now determined to withhold. We have Stated for
some weeks, that a spirit. of turbulence and diSaffec.,
tion existed in the County of Limeiia. This the
Dublin Papers not only denied, but accused us of
wishing to misrepresent and calumniate the People
J:of Ireland.' We should' indeed do so were we to
„assert that 'heland was ;11'a state of turbulence, but
the Writers in Dublin, to whom we allude, now
probably know that our intelligence, was currea.

OLD BAILEY.

DAt-TUESDAY) S.

Daniel Danith :aid James Worityi were indiae3
Tor stealing two sacks of coals, the property of
lames Ward, on the 30th of December last.
It appeared in evidence, that 36 sacks of coals
were sent from Guide') Harbour Wharf, by the Pro.
secutot's Clerk, in a waggon, to be sent to ,the
Brewhouse of Messrs. Leniain, and the Prisoner,
\Vorbys, to go wit fi them, ,who accordingly-went
with them, and the other Prisoner, Daniels, went
with them also ; they both had been the Prosecutor's
servants, but Daniels had been discharged about a
week before this time.

As the Prisoners were ad vitt the waggon along,
the Prisoner, NT)rbys, brought a sack of the coals to
person whom he callrd the Cooper, at a hair.
dresser's house. The Prisoner, Worbys, having
taken one sack, mile for another, and carried it
also to the same place ; and the Prisoner, Daniels,
untied the cords which were round the sacks. The
Waggon was then 'followed to the brewhouse, and
intnrmation was given there of these coals being
taken out of the waggon, and the Prisoners were
seen throwing two empty sacks on the ground, at the
brew house, before they delivered any of the coals.
Mr. Levecipte, one of the Gentlemen of the brew.
house, in consequence of information, went into the
waggon, and .counted the sacks, when there were
only 34 full 'sacks in it, and two empty ones were
lying on the' ground. On this the Prisoners were
apprehended.
They endeavoured to spew :hat the coals in the
two empty sacks, had been shot;but that was false.

Rokri Nash and Susannah Nash, his\ wife, an
elderly anti very decei,t looking couple, were in.
dieted for a capital offence, in feloniously stealing,
on the =9th of (Dauber, a pocket.book, containing
various Promi,ory Notes, anti Bank Notes, to an
amount of nciriy litsol. the property of John Os.
bOrne, in the dwelling-house of the said Robert

The capital part of this charge was done away, in
the o,,inion of the Court, by the consideration of
the 1.14 twin committed in the house of the Prisoner,
for in con temphition of the AO, the house of the party
2Fcined (lid nor extend that proteetion to the pro-
Orty of another, Which it afforded to its possessors.
he Prisoner, Robert 'Nash, , was therefore found
Gly;;0, of stealing, but not in the dwelling-house
and the wife, Susannah Nash, was ricpt;tteci, on the
general ground of sUppOSed coercion and restraint,
on the part of her husband.
Mrs. Slsh is a woman considerably advanced in
years ; was genteel), _dressed in black silk ; and' be-
ing much' afilieled with deafness, used a speaking
trumpet, to enable het. tohcar the depositions.

:lobo Hodgson, a genteel looking young man,
who had been formerly a Clerk in the Banking.
house of Messrs. 1 larrison, Priekett, and Neu/man,
was inaided for stealing a twenty pound limiting.
don Bank Note, the property of Messrs. flarriion
and Cu,
, The evidence for the Prosecution, bid fair
for the 'conviCtion of the Prisoner, when a legal
observaticm or Mr. KKOW I,Yb (leading Counsel
it she Prisoner), urged in the way of objeCli,n,
ut an end to the proceedings, 11)e efrot of this
that unless the note in question was duly
::,).Aped, it was not a legal instrument, nor was
any evidence, or of any validity in such a case.
The fad of the note's being 'pained, was, in con.
sequence, referred to the investigation of the Jury ;
it was very much worn, and had.papers iipiteri on
the. back, 4c.---she Jury expressed themselves
dissatisfied as to the note being stamped ; on Which
the Court said there was an end of the case. A vet.
diet of Acguitm/ was of course- pronotinced • and
Mr. COMMON SE R JEANT duly admonished a Pri-
soner as to lit, future coodun.

tPieTAL COMM/MOW.
W4TEXPOP.I), JAN. 8.
ON thursday the Special Commission wasopened
in our Court-House, by the Von. Mr. Justice
Downs and the Hon. Mr. Baron GEOROU.
Alter the Grand Jury were sworn in, Mr. Justice
DoWrits addressed them to the following purport :
GINTLEMINt

" It seems necessary to say something to you, in
explanation of the reasons Ow have occasioned the
calling you:. together at this very unusual. season
of the year,-, and which imposes on you and us tile
same duty as at, the fiae,„of the Assizes. We ao
knnes, and have tolathip4 the effect Of the designs
of wicked people, in exciting the Peasantry to insur_..
reftion, which ended in open rebellion. Although we
hope that the offences which are to be brought un.
der your consideration, are not imputable to the
continuance of the rebellious spirit, yet it is to be
feared the nature of them arose in some of the conse.
quenecs therefrom. The Complexion of these of.
fences, as far as we know, and which we are glad to
find. have only taken place in a few instances in this
County, although, we fear, more generally in others,ii
is that of an endeavour to confine the efforts of in.'
dusrry to the people within their own Distrkls,
and making use of such means of doitig so, as might
be supposed from such a disposition. This it a great
offence in itself, but is equally destrative to
the interest of the .perpetrators; for if they want to
confine others to their own Distria, -they ought to
expelt they would be confined to theirs ; and such
a system, instead of being to their advantage, would
lend to render them mere slaves, and reduce them
to the rank of Russian peasants, who are considered
attached the soil, as a property.

" That stall crimes and disorders should take
place at this time, when Peace is fully restored,
and When no aid tan be expeard 'trout the Enetny,
is not easily to be . accounted • for. Even when
they did expect and receive all thc'aid the Enelny
could give them, it was found that His Majes.
ty'a Government,. with the aid of the Loyal Um.
bitantsons sufficient to put down Rebellion--what
K can they raped now,,veiiiiihat Enemy is in friend-
ship P Can they hope thoyNisuld be able to cope
with Ills MajeSry'it GovehihiVtit It is the height
of madness—and is is to'belioped, that the inqui-
Ties you are to niake.will shew theth their folly, and
cause them to suifponrtranquillity and peke."

His Lordship then recommended it to die Grand
Jury to examine the persons prOsecuting, respecting
the circumstances of the informations they had given
-•••11 prelaiCe that cannot be too highly applauded, as
it will prevent passionate and malicious prosccu.
tions.
