The fleet from India has brought Madras Ga-
zelles to the latter end of December. The follow-
ing is the only nticle of military or political impor-
taoce conta'ned in them :

" AMBER KHAN, a turbulent chief, had lately
shewn inclination to disturb the peace of the
peninsula ; and with a view or punishing him,
should circumstances require it, an army, consisting
of one regiment of European cavalry, five regiments
of Native, one regiment of European infantry; and
seven battalions of Madras Native infantry, with
a proportion of guns, had assembled' at Jaulna.
Colonel CLOSE, who had been 'in cote rand of the
subsidiary force at Hydrabad since the beginning of
September, was to leaYe that station emy in De 7
cember, to put hittpelf at the head of this force.—
This Chief threatened/to over urn the government
of Nagpore, iu oiwdience, as he sometimes professes,
to the order of Holkar ; but at other times, he, gives
out, that his designs • against 'the Nagpore' govern-
ment are undertaken for the •piltpO,e of placing
himself on the Mus:iud, in fulfilment of a latepro-
phecy. By the latest accounts, AMBER KK.AN had
cr ssed the Nabudda. His force consisted, accord-
ing to the best authenticated accounts, of lo,ouo in-
fantry, 25,000 cavalry of all description, and 30
guns, i 6 of which were Gallopers. • An efficient
and well..appointed army was assembling in Bundle-
cund, which is understood to have the same .ob-
ject with that formed at Janina. An, army was
also assembling in the Westof India, which was to
co-operate %ill' the armies in the Dt.ckan and
Bundlecund ; so that, unless AMEEtt KHAN secures •
an amnesty by a speedy retraction of hiS views, he
is likely to incur the punishment of his temerity
The force assembling in Bundlecund was to consist
of one regiment, (the 53d) of European intantry,
three regiments of (native cavalry, and six battalions
of native infantry."

EXTRACT OF A LETTER DATED MADRAS, DECEINV•

BER 21, 1809.

"The ferment in the army, is, I trust, completely
at an end, and things are apparently 'restored to
peace and good order.

" We have an army upon the frontiers of the
MahrattaStates, in pursuit of Meer, Khan, a Gene-
ral commanding Holkar's faces,, who has lately
been committing depredations in the Berar country ;
but I think it likely. he will be brought to his senses
without much trouble. Notwiths andingour block-
ade of the Isle of France,. the French frigates
manage to get out, and piay the devil occasionally.
The Company are now beginning to pay fortheir
negligence, and will, I trust, feel for themselves,
though they appear never to have bestowed a mi-
nute's consideration upon the misfortunes of the
private merchants in India. Jr .is melancholy to re-
fled that these petty islands have been permiited to
exist' for nearly fifteen years to prey upon our
trade ; during which time they hate carried away
millions of British property, in the face of a naval
force ten times superior, and in the face of our
Empire in India, with a disposable force of at least
50,000 men."

COLVIT BENCII, la Lt 3:

THE XING e. W. COBEETT AND OTHERS.

As We were obliged, on account of the late hour at which we
received the Proceedings in the Court of King's-Bench yes-
terday, to give a very brief account. of tile Arrod. N Cr*
C ENEI: s Speech on Mr. COBBEtr's case, we insert it
this day more fully.

The Artois N c _GENERAL. then rose and addressed
the Court to the following, eft &t. My Lords, I
am 'perfedtly ready to agree with myLearned Friends,
that there isa wide diffetence between the case of
their clients and that of Mr. Cobbett. They never
denied that the paper contained a gross libel, htug
suffered judgment to go by default. They ne.icr
urged any public defence, like that of Mr. Colobett,
on the trial, which was full of slander and ColUmny,
almost as bad • as that which was contained in the
libel itself. So far then their case woos different;
and it was also different in this, that. the publisher,
Mr. Bagshaw, does. not employ aiothora to compile
materials for this work, but Om( its author merely
employs him to publish and self it, and is therefore
chiefly responsible for its cot tents. •These circum-
stances go so far to alleviase their offence ; but, at
the same time your Lordships well know that it
must not go abroad or be understood that persons in
their situation can stied exculpated, tor it is most,
Important that all eho are in the habit of circulating
such libels as this, should !earn and he aware that
they are most justly amenable to, the laWs of their
country. Having said thus much, 1 will now pio-
ceed to the case of the principal culprit, Mr. Cob-
bett ; and bete we 1, ant, by his own admission,
that the libel proceeded .Ori4mally from him as 'its
author, and that to hint all the profit arising from
its cirenlation accrued. Whatever of malignity ex-;
isted in the fibs( itself (and one grosser or more per-
nicious was never brought into a Court of JUstice),
proceeded entirely from the mind of Mr. Ctlabett;
and whatever base lucre of gain would accrue from
its circulation, was to be the sole.etnolument of that
person. In reading the libel in question, it must
occur to men how necessary it is at ail times, and
particularly at the present period, when we are
obliged to have on foot so large a military' force for
the defence of the country against an implacable
enemy—l say it must occur to all men how Ileces.:.
sary it is to enforce the discipline of the army, and
to pieserVe the willing obedience of the soldier to
his officer. How' necessary is it that a' good under-
standing should subsist between them, and that the
soldier should be convinced that nothing is required
of him that is not called (or, by the good of his coun-
try How necessary is it, that the people of this
country should be convinced that no power beyond
the law, that nothing like the conscription system
of Buonaparte was s...mployed, to compel-them to
enter the service ! The maintenance of good order
and discipline is hece,S.itysto the well being, nay, to
the very existence of civil society, and no one cart
contemplete without horror the disorders which
would ensue on the relaxation of discipline,, or it
the embers of dissatisfaCtion were scattered through
the army and blown into a flame. At no tune
were the interests of the 'army more attended to by
the Government ; and it would be unjust were I lot
to add, tharour soldiers 'by their valour and brilliant
services whenever called forth, have Made more
thhn an ample return for the cares of thdir country.
Such are the sentiments which every good mans
every well-wisher to his country would wish to disl-
seminate, because they are the fad ; and not such
libels as that to which I shall pow call your Lord-
ships' attention, which can have only the most mis-
chievous tendency. And here I would ask, does it
not tend to etcite disgust in the soldiers, to be told
that they are hardly, and tyrannically treated by their
superiors ? Does not this libel , treat the crime of
disobedience to their superiors as a light and trivial
offence? Does it not treat a violent mutiny of sol-
diers against their office's as a trivial quarrel about
the marching guinea, or the price of a goat's skin ?
Here I b,g to call your Lordships' attention to the
circumstances from which this libel originated.. A
corps of Local Militia in the Isle of Ely had risen
upon their officers, and committed a most attrocious
act of iuutioy. The troops in the place were not
sufficient to quell this mutiny, and a detachment of
the German Legion, who lay in-the vicinity, was
• called' in to their assistance. The mutineers were
brooght before the legal II ibunal, and were found
tstolty ; part of the punishment was inflicted upon
them, and part was remitted by the direction of his
'Majesty. How did M. Cobbett represent this
itfaii in his Paper, and in hisdeletice,? Why as a'
trifling squbble between the men and their officers,
as a thing riot to be called a mutiny, hardly even to
- be discouraged ! But how, • my Lords, is the peace
of the country to be preserved, if, being obliged to
have so many 'men iu arms, an, outrageous mutiny
is to be called a light matter ? And your Lordships
will observe, tnat Mr. Cobbett even taunts and goads
these men. for having submitted to the punishment
inflicted' by law. In most intelligible language he
taunts them for' their- submission, as base and
cowardly, and insinuates,. that it was their duty as
men to have resisted. ' But he particularly holds up
the Getman Legion to the hatred and disgust of the
people of this country. In his defence, we heard
the calumny and abuie which he poured un that
body of troops; and can 'we henceturth .'expect
obedience, loyalty, or zeal, 'from those who, like
them, have voluntarily entered the service of this
country, if they ate thus to be .attacked' with
impunity by malignant libellers ? I oust. your
Lordships svill chew that such things must not be.
Mr. Cobbett 'then goes on to tell the inhabitants of
Ely that they were a set of • base wretches, because
they did not assist the soldiers in resisting the inflic-
tion of punishment.' What else could be the meaq-
ing of that passage, where he says, that he could
have wished-to have seen their faces while the pun-
ishment was, going on ? What else was his Mean-
log, but that they should have been ashamed of
their own baseness in not intedering to'rescue these
mutineers from the •sentence of the Court Martial ?
But black as this part of the libel was, the blackest
pitrt at it remains behind: Its venom will tae found
to be particularly directed against the Government of
the country. He begins by insinuating, that thew
is no truth at all in w hat we have heard of the ty.
Lanny and oppression of Napoleon, or, at least, if
his cruelty and oppression do exist, that they fall
tar short of what we daily witness in the British
army ; that if ever 'the cruelly with which 'Napo-
leon treats his troops is talked of, which he tosi-
'Mates to be very doubtful, then lie will stop our

. .
fliclitha with prddating th's instance sal hrimetf it'
to :bee endured, my Lords, that a laee less libeller
shall tell the ptopiee.of th s crtt: try that time iron
hand of Govet n men(' is daily upon thene, exercising
A degree of tyranny until by tee iteldiers or time sUbz
jeets of Napoleon it " This occurrence," sa}s he,
" at home, should teach the i'T.4 a hide caution;
in speaking of the means We Ii N.poleon employs
(or rather which they say he employs) in ofder to
discipline his conscripts." Your Lordships wdf not
tail to olAerve tile- teoderness and feeling which Mr.
Catreett dispays for our enemy ; but it was very
:iiterent Nriten our own Government becetne the
sebieet of his animadVersioes, and he tells us that
the loyal shoeld recoiled that our owe seen not
only required a little physical rastraintt but even " A
little blood drawl, from their backs." On whom
does he throw these taunts ? on those xyboni
he calls the loyal, a: if loyalty was the bitterest term
of reproach. Such is the character of the libel fut
which the defendant was called up to rtce;ve judg-
ment, and I have not over-rated any one part of it 4
inaligeity; Let us consider for a mottle:it, weat
would have been the consequences if it had proe
&Iced any of its natural effects—if i s tendency 'had
been called forth into action. What ‘kuuld now
have been the state of the country, if the flame of
disatfedion had been liel.ted the aerny ?—The
very contemplation of them was drea ; they
went to the destruction of all oar comtorts, nay qt"
civil society itself; .and the lil;t1 itself, io its perni-
cious tendency, went beyond any I have ever heard
of before. I adtnit
.that the libel his not produced
these etreds, hut no thanks to Mr. Cobbett for that,
hich must be ascribed to the eood sense, the lop
ally, arid patriotism of the people, which were Ult.-
assailable by all
.such seditious eff I
orts.' But what,
would ask, must be the consequecces, if this
per-
son be suffered to escape.with no punishment at all,
or even a slight one ? If this libel be suffered to
escaee with impunity, to-morrow, it will operate as
an example and an encouragement to other libellers,
each of whom will naturalitsay, " Why, if I can
gain a large estate, and acqoire wealth by publishing
libek, what do I risk ?. why,

ishment inflicted on Mr. Cobbett.; lei iv
lance the greatness of the gain aeaiiist the lenience
el penalty ; in that case, will not others f)ilow hitu
iii the same mischievous career; and from a mis.
placed lenity, can your Lordships answer that your
arm will be strong enough next year to quash the
libellers that may arise i It lies with your Lord-
ships to check the growing evil of the times, and to
had opus the defendant a just and wholesome
punishment, commensurate to his deserts, and that
will hold up a warning to other men. Your Lord,
ships have Imad private libeller‘before you from time
to time, and you have visited their crimes with a
just but not an excessive severity.. ii.ou have had
lately before you'persops who had libelled the ad.
ministration' of justice—a high oftence, but oqe
which, compared with the present, almost sinks ite,
to nothing-, for the tendency of thi's goes tredestroy
society itself. It is of a much blacker dye, and calls
for the infliaion of a still severer punilhinvnt —a
punishment which will make men pause well before
they ctentnit such a crime in future. My Lord, the
army looks up to you, for time prottaion of its eh&
rader ; the Government looks to you for the con.,
firrnation of thOse powers, which must be exercised
by every Government, whoever are the individuals
who compose it; the people at large call upon your
Lordships for the guardianship of their social i6te,.
rests ; they look with horror on the tendency of the
libel ; they are sure its author will receive justice
here, and that from his example they will no 'otter
have reason to apprehend a repetitiuu of the Wile
offence.

Mr.'GAR ROW rose to sly that he was on the san-:e
side, but had nothing to add to what had been urged
by Mr. Attorney General,
The Judges then consulted together for a short
time, and

Lord ELLENBOROLTOR said—" Let the four dea
fendartts be committed to the custody of the Marshal
of the Marshalsea of the Court, and be brought up
for judgment on Monday next."

and the late genial showers'have much improved the

crops. The Hay already carried has proved very
light; but it has been got up well, and at 4 trifling

,accident occurred in the
.Court-house of Ennis; a young boy ascended for
a ball thk "had been lodged on a beam over the
Assembly Uoom, which has remained unceiled
Since the late repairing, and when creeping iu
search of the object of his pursuit, he unfortu-
natelY slipped, and, coming on his head, was
killed on the spot. A remarkable coincidence in
misfortune happened to his grandfather a few years
ago. Being occasionally employed at the Church to
toll the bell, when getting to the steeple for that
purpose, across a part of the ruins of the Abbey, he
tell, and in like manner descending on.his head, met
also instant death.

Wednesday morning, about 3. o'clock, as Mr.
Everett, a higler, was coming from Epping in _his
cart, containing poultry and 'other goods for the-
London narketS,, he was, stopped by three fellows,
between Laughtun and Woodford, who rubbed hint
of
_his watch and some loose silver. They were
about to rifle his cart, when some labouring men
made their appearance and the thieves made their
escape towards the forest.

On Friday, 15th ult, the Ist Regiment of F;&-
shire Local Militia, commanded by Colonel JAMES
B. WEmyss, of Wemyss, was reviewed:_bg Major-
General DURHAM, who paid them the highest com-
pliments for their soldier-like appearance, steadi-

.and •discipline. On the Monday following
their permanent duty expired, and they marched
through the town (Cupar, Fife) giving three cheers
• o'-11
at each of their cers quarters, Major-General
DURHAM being again present and renewing his
praise on their orderly conduet and stria regard to
duty. They also cheered the General and Colonel
WELuyss, and had the gratification of receiving a
suitable return from those Oflicers. They after-
' wardi, by" pertnission, adjourned to the Town- Hall,
where they drank many loyal and patriotic toasts,
and. as a mark of respeot to their Par-Serjeallt,
ALEXANDER THoMSoN, drew him in a chair through
:the chief street.—The town of Cupar was so
_well
pleased with the condu6t of this regimdia that their
departure was much regretted.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH,' ILLY 4.

WATSON C. STA N HOPE.

uis ,an action for goods sold and delivered:
Mr. Paul( stated, that the plaiutiff was a respeet-
able Milliner and dress'-maker, residing in -.Picea-
lly ; the defendant he could not describe, but,
from his instruCtionse should suppose she was au
unfortunateporian. She came to the plaintiff's
warehouse with an air of modesty -that led the pluip-
tift. to believe she writ young lady ofrespectabmty;•
it was not necessary for him to say,: that peop:e nr
•. business wished to increase their enstothers. The
defendant pyrchased to the amount.` of 191. in less
than •one month, 71,,0f which she had paid. He
could prove the delivery of the articles, which would
entitle his 'client to a verdiet. He could also prove
that
.the defendant had-acknowledged the debt, atter
she was arrested.
Elizabeth Day proved the delivery of the goods,
and that she' took the defendant's measure t,or
Mande.
On her cross-examination by INIr. Gangow, she
said,. that among other goods. the plaintiff had re-
ceived, were a Merino Mantle, price 91. 19s. 6d. ;.
Glacial) cap, 21. 12s, ; and a Merino bonnet,.
11. Bs. 6d. Sire took Measure of the defendant for
the mantle ; she did not think the charge c;,:trava-
gant. The cap was cheap; there was as much Me-
llino cloth it as would make a turban ter the
1 Persian Ambassador. She neVer knew the plain-
tiff to furnish the defendant with flannel. 'pettiz
coats,,,stocking•, or even a:- chemise. She could
not say whether the articles fornish'ed were neces-
saries or not. - This closed the plaintiff's case.'
Gattaow—•` My Lord a;.d Gentlemen of
the Jury, in defending this au ion Teel much em-
barnssed ; not that I have not.a good defence; but
that I shall be obliged to enter it.h9 a-dvscriptiOu
that must :be d:sagieeable
,to you. When I make
use of the word disagreeable, I mean an ezpas;
fur if any of you, Gentlemen of the Jury, are fathers,
you must teel an ahhorretice that perhaps el en a
night's sleep will not be able. to remove. My
Learned Friend has told you that the- defend3nt is
a Gyp-kn. The eharge is not denied; the uhtor-
tunate girl is in that situation. But did he also
-give you a true.aecOunt: of the. plaintiff? Can she'
be as respeetableaS she represents ? I 'know arothihg
of her, and can only state my opiuiot from what
has bet deVelaped 1n this trial. I will ask you,
would a virtuous petsen;pr.any;person that wished
.to preserve the api.eatince..of virtue; lend. their as-
sistance to another io carry on the- t'rade of prostitu-
tion ? This may be' called 'harsh langiage by my
Learned Friend.; but do not the' faias bear me out
in my assertions.? Persons in the situation of the
defendant Wquld be less' known, .if there were‘not
such persehs as the plaintiff; wJ o, by ',supplying
them with finery', assisted 'them to lure the tua)e
sex. ;: Would7it be said that the plaintiff did *not
Ito-OW:the situation of the unfortunate young wo-
.apar;? My LearntidlFtiehd had more wisdom than
tepl:act such ignorance. But the young
.woman
.I.Viro had 'been in the bOx declared her want of •
.knowledge. The person who. went to take her
measure for the Merino mantle, says she did pot
know her situation. Could this be believed, .when
she was living.. in a- house most notorious as• to
the inhabitants it contained ? ii is not my wish to
say any thing to give pain to, that witness ;.'but it
must °Celir to every thinking man, "that she could
-not • have teen ignorant or the charader of the
-person she- wetted on. I do not defend this
action on the chara62ers 'of either party ; bat on

James :Medley produced the certificate of the
defendant's birth, and proved she W.iS under age.
This , was corroborated by two other witnesses;
one of thew, the sister of the defendint, who .had
followed her nolo, tunate course. It appeared they.
were daughters of a labourer of the name of, Abbott,
living at East Hatley, Canihridgesline.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH directed a INOrISUit ; the
plaintiff was .accordingly called.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY 4.
The Court were occupied -in • liedring argtaneits
on motions for, new trials.

SWINNERTON V. THE MARQUIS OF STAFFORD.
• This was a que,iion tried I.ietore Mr. Justice LAW-
RENCE at the SOlfOrd AiSiZeS, to' il•Ceitam light of
common.• A yeah& was given for the defendant.
The new trial' was moved for, on the ground that
all the evidence necessary to probe that the 'right
was not vested in the defenLiant., The. right in,
question related to certain conimons,none of which
is naiad Moltishal, and at the .trial a number of
witnesses were, examined to. skew,. that from their
.remembrance, -some of whom recolleaei the usage
for sixty years, that right had exited undimnrbe;a:-.
Mr. Serjeant, WILLIAMS and Mr. Serj. ViUGUAN
were heard against the Rule, and MT.SCrjeafli
in support of it.

. - .
Vie Court were of opinion 'upon hearing the state
of the agreements, and upon viewing the evidence
given upon the trial, that doubts at least existed as
to the right. As the quest Kin was of great-impor;
tance to the parties concerned, acid the'deeision of
the Jury mast be binding upon the future interests,
it would be better that the case should go down
again for 4-lat.—Mae abiolute.
