INTERCEPTED LETTERS.
[Continued :from 17.3teetiayl
Iv.--TO THE MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AVF,LIRS.
" MOST EXCELLENT SIR, • •

" The Count De Cessac, Minister of War, yes-
terday acquainted me in a note, that in obedienee. to
of the Emperor, he wished to have an in-
terview with toe. I went to his house in the even-
nig, and be,employed almost the same expresslons
had been addressed to me by the Duke of
C:dOre, On the impossibility of sending to 'Spain
the 'French Exchequef, for the expences of
tie army, more_than two tuilliotls of livres monthly:
!1;• complained of the large sum of money which
:wci already [ken exhausted since the beginning of the
:,var be stated the resources that Spain possessed,
the contributions That might be raised in Jaelf;
`Cordova, and other cities of Andalusia, as had been
idrOdy.procured under the orders of .his Imperial
Majesty in Toro, Zamora, and other places; and he'
..,Iver•e 1 to the conti,;cdfioffiot Britisl, effeEts which
.i.ight be, made in Seville and Malaga. He sheaved
ate the letters, which the Intendant-General, M.
,had lately written to the Prince of Neut-
Aatel, and to himself, chewing the deficiency of the
-itel•tary chest" of Spain during the years 1808, and
; son, and in the present year, with the great diffi-
.culty.that must arise in future (no money being sent
.hoene);if only two millions of.rials were afforded by
the King of Spain, when the necessary expences, re,,
striae(' with the greatest economy, would amount to,
'1,024,000 Imes. M. Dennie says, that the defici-
encies of the 1808 and 1809, amount to seven'
of hues, and those of the present year to
?2,500,000 litres, according IQ a statement that was
',addressed to his Majesty., a copy of which is annex-
'ed. 'At the same time 1 declared, from the accounts,
th,.e impossibility of supplying more to the military
• chest than two millions, and the 'necesary conclu-
sion was, that the treasury of France should con-
, tribute five or six millions of livres by'the way of a
lean to Spain, to answer her purpcses.
" I must do M. Dennie the justice to say, that in
has letters he speaks with the greatest candour, and
w.thout 'the slightest' insinuation that' there was any
indisposition on our part to facilitate the aid required
for the military chest.
Will your Majesty believe that some politicians
OfParis• have presumed to say that a new revolution
S,iain was preparing most injurious to the French
:merest, and that the Spaniard's United ro your Ma-
would rise in a general insurrection againSt
them ? Your Majesty. will see the 'absurdity. of, this
i:onjeathre, and how -prejudicial it would be if it
were to gain credit.
" I trust' that such au idea will have no' weight
with 'any person of judgment, and that it will imme-
.liately tail to the ground, from its total want of
were appearance of truth._ _

"1' separate sepatitte tiwes I havespoken to the Prince
of Neufchatel on the just complaint- of your Ma-
jesty against, Marshal Ney. On the first occasion
lie toed me that the Emperor had nut delivered to
.firm the letter of your Majesty, and he signified that
lie could not approve the "condutt of.the Marshal. On
•• the second he answered, that he could not at all in-
terfere in the htisiness:

"It had been supposed here for ssme days that
Ihe recent • connmotions in Holland would bring
ab >ut the union of that country to the French em-
pirebut the present opinionls that things will not
tgl to' the eitreMity. ' •
"I have learned with satisfaaion, that the queen
my mistress has received much behefit from the wa-
ters 6t Plombieres. My ladies the PrincesseS enjoy
excellent health. I have heard that the Queen of
Holland is alarmingly ill at Plombieres, remain
as ever, with the most profound reverence, Senor,
your Majesty's most humble,' nbedient, and faithful
Subject,

KENT ASSIZES.

MAIDSTONE, AUG. 2g .

Yesterday being the Commission-day, for holding
the for this county, the •Lotd Chief Justice
of Englandfiind the Lord Chief. Baron of the Ex-
thequer, 'arrived in this.town. They, immediately
after opening, their COmmission, attended Divine
Service, and this morning, at nine o'clock, Lord El-
lenborough,began business on the Civil Side.

BANKS V. COPELAND.

This was a case of- rather a whimsical nature, in
which the " mouse 'might be sail to catch the trap,"
rather than the trap-the mouse. It was an action by
one bum-bailiff against another, for false imprison-
ment. The plaintiCand the defendant were both
Officers to the Sheriff of Kent, and both kept lock-
up houses in the county. It happened that a writ
of ca. sa was put into the hands of Banks, the plain-
tiff, against the person of his brother burn, Cope-
land;. the defendant. He accordingly took Cope-
land; who insisted that by law he Lad a right to go
to any lock-up house for 24 hours,_ before he was
carried to gaol ;, and as he himself kept a lock-up
house,••.iiti Would go to his own .house. The plain-
tiff not baiug able to decide this knotty point with,
out consulting Ilk books,. agreed to go with him,
and- they, both we'll' to Copeland's house toge-
ther. Here Copeland sent his wife and son -to:
get the, money for which he' was held in execution,:
and about four o'clock he procured it, and paid the
debt and Costs.; and . Banks and he then took/leave;
of each other. Copeland boasted anuott his-friends,'
that so far from going to'Banks's house, that be bad
locked up his keeper, arid, kept him until four
o'clock. The plaintiff, however, upon going home,,
Whether by reading, Or consultation with an able
lawyer., it djci not appear, found out that he had
dune what he was not bound
,to do, and that-it was
a false imprisonment in his prisoner having locked
him up.in his own spunging-house. So, notwith;
standing they had pat tedfriends, and -that they had
spent ,-the day comfortably- together, for it was
proved that they had passed the day by playing ".back
gammon," " the devil among the tanors," smoak-
ing a social pipe, &C. for the honour of the profes-
sion, he determined to bring the present action for
his prisoner having falsely imprisoned him.
Mr. Serjeant BEST, for the defendant, contended
that this never could be considered an imprisonment,
as it was a voluntary
:remaining in the house. Al-
though true it was, that, according to the usual,
trade of the house, the doors were locked up as per-
gins passed in or out.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH left it to the Jury to say'
whether there Was any imprisonment, and if there
was, what was the amount of the damage.
Jury found for the plaintiff—barnagts,2o3.
