We hive this day made some fUrther extra&

their lawful Severeign and his fAmily for ever from
'Sweden. We think that in this 'respea the Diet
have aaed with perfea consistency, •having vOlunta-
,tilysonsented to become the slaves of a. foreign ad-
:ventnrer, and. sur'rendered the independence of their
Country, 'hey were
,quile_ right in condemning to
•
exile a hero who had emulated his ancestors, in en-.
deavouring to maintain the ancient glory of Sweden.
We have extraaed also a-Decree of BUONAPARTE'S

anxious to dept Are the people of France of the tne,,ns
of obtaining information, as he. is to prevent their
enjoying the luxuries of colonial produce.

Air. COMMON SpEJEANT, for the defendant, con-
tended, twat •a material averment was wanting in the
iodiament,, nainely, that the defendant knew whi.t‘
he had sworn to be Else.- It Was" obviouS, from the
evidence of the prosecutor (Harrison) hiTself, that
he hat committel a contempt against the authority
of the Conti of chancery, in levying on the goods
• of the !defendant, after it consisted with the knot,—
ledge of Harnson, that an injunction, restraining
tint fioli any farther proceedings, had been issued.
The detendAnt could not have been ignorant of t his,-
and it was an, outrage on common sense to sup-
pose, that possessed of such liowlertge, and having
a well-founded ground Of: complaint against
Fjarti-
son, for winch he was liable to be committed for a
contempt, the defendant. Should have selected the is-
' suing out of the,writ as the ground of his applicatiOn,
Lad ne:not relied en the information he had applied
for and obtained, as to the period when.the writ of
was issued. One'of , the witnesses, named
Anitlison, hadi.sWorn t he' date of the writ of f. fa,
- Was indorsed on the. warrant. This he should prove

to be fgh.e, from production of the,warrant
lie should shew. also, that on application to the offi-
cer, be stated the 11th to be the date'of issuing the
'writ—a-fad which he wOnld now Cetiity to the Jury
13n oath. The defendant, therefore, wag in bona
--Ale, to swear what he had been in fc.irined,and- could
„have nuo reason to doubt was :the .tats. leor infor-
Ination-hecoAd.tiotgo to the persecutor of the
sentindietment; his declared eneihy, and who hav7

fire supposed well disposed to prevent Nina from fall-
k'itg ilito error. . At the 'office they naturally would
not shew the writs there lodged, to persons whose
°toy objett might be to disappoint -their operation.
..In making the affidavit in question, therefore, the
clelendant might have done so falsrly,ibut he gut),
• iniitcd, not wilfully, maliciously, orcorruptly. The
• pTobability.of the case, too was altogether in favour
of the defendant, it being hardly to be 'credited that
Mr. Harrison should have kept his 'in his
pocket from the 4th to the itth of April, giving.
every other creditor of t he defendant an opportunity,
during the whole of this period, to disappoint his
. execution..
-Mr:- Cater, from the Sheriffs' Office, produced
'the warrant, dated I ith Al.ril, iri which there' was
tto mention by :indorsement, or otherwise, of the

writ Of fa. fa. itself, in the hand-writing prMr. Har-
rison, and also from the oath of. Harrisn4, given in
Court to-day, that the wt it had issued-On tiie 4th
of April. It was equally clear trom.dheiatlidavit of
the defendant., that he 10:1. sworn that it did not
issue till a period' long, subsequent, tamely, after
the 97h of the same month: The affidavit af. the
defendant, therefore, was incontestibly fake. licit
it was contended for-him, that there were circum,
stances in the case, which shewed, that lie 'had
made every proper inquiry, and had been misled.—
He had inquired himself personally, trlct had also
,ent a boy to tiroeure information as to' the dale td
the isstiin g. of the writ. , was„ curiOus that he.

should have applied to the-arrant fors he. informa-

CONSIS I'o RY COURT OF' DOCTORS' COMMONS

COX- V. GOODDAY.

ThiS was a Tiestion as to tlie•admissibility of cti-
-minal articl s
.exhibited by Miss H. C. of Essex;
as the Reverend William G. vicar ol her pa--
rish, for brawling in the church.
The prosecution was -founded upon the Statute of
' Edward VI. and the complaint contained in the ar-
. tides was, that Mr. G. M the midst of his Church
service, :without, any cause, addressed Miss C. stat-
mg, that he had observed the most indecent beha-
viour in her at Church tor some tithe; that if she
continued 'it he would order the Sexton, to turn her
out ; and it that would not do, he would put her
in the Spiritual Court ; upon which Miis C. much
:hurt 'at.tiirding'this rebuke, though undeserved, had
drawn upon her the .eyes of the congregation, "re-
-tired with her sister; and -as they Were leaving the
'Church, Mr. G. exclaitned, " Let them go to the
play-house, and act their acts there."
It was contended by the. Counsel for the Riev.
Gentleman, 'that the words: were only those of. dig-
nified repioof, which he was justified in using to-
' wards- any person interrupting- the solemn observ-
anee.of,Teligious duties ; that as they bore this con-
struction, evidence could be .adduced of their
having been uttered with -any other view, and that,
therefore, it woad not-only be irrelevant to admit
the articles 'to proof, but • would be establishing a
dangerous precedent, to prevent Clergymen from
• preserving decorum in the performance of religious
duties. -,

Miss C.'s Counsel put a'totilly, different 'construe,
lion upon the words, and contended, that if nothing
but a reproof was intended, it was not necessary to
add, the ex pressionsas they were leaving the. Church,
.of, f'. Let chew go, to :a play-house; and act their
acts . there 'and .to include Miss C.'s sister, who
was 1.1 o,ffc dal g pariy,,in .them ; and the insi-
nuation conveyed- iii them, alit the circumstance
.of Miss C. having that morning received. the Sacra-
meat from,the hands of the- Reverend Gentleman
himself, must strongly repel the presumption of his
having considered her condud such as to merit his
reproof, and that .therefore the woids apptared to
have been uttered solely for the gratification of pri-

tate trali,m—a feelingunworthy of the" sacred cha.
ratter lb which the Reverend Gentleman was 'then
officiating. .7.

• The Learned Judge; Sir WILLIAM SCOTT, con-
curred in this constru&ion of the words,. and t hrre-
Ore admitted the articles ; at the same time,pbserv-
tharoe Reverend Gentleman would be thereby
b, rt,rl eaabled, if he thought *proper, to 'repel by,
ciid,.-nee of Miss C.'s the. preshinption
of hiS r•tottat'.ng .a6ted from the unworthy motives,
ascribed to hitt). • • .

The following account of' a most' mysterious af-
fair which 'lately, happened in' Ireland is extraactl
from an Irish Paper::---.

The distressing and delicate subject to which
we have already adverted, and 'upon which we are
now again about to enter, is the violent and sudden
death (tie are at present on wiling to say murder)
of a most respectable. gendewoman in the town of
Eyrecourt. It appeirs that Mrs. Montgomery, one
of the sisters of Giles Eyre, Esq. a gentleman of
considerable consequence,wlynkaS-been, upon more
Occasions than one, a Candidate'for the Parliamen-
tary represelitatTioti,ol 11OS CP0011; and who,is, at
this moment, a Lieutemint:-.Colonel in the county
of Gilwav Militia, was fo'nn(l dead in her own house
on the night •of the 3th insr.

"The Messrs. Eyre (her brOthers) either suspeel-
ing, or perfet9ly s,itisfe f 'in their mind, that she
lbad'been murdered by Mr. Montgomery; her,own
husband, caused him to be cd,;tfined to hii house,
in which the melancholy catastrophe- had occurred.
The maid-serwanti of the house, three in nornlmr,
they also caused to. he apprehended and confined

MR. GRENVILLE'S SPEECH,

ON THE REGENCY QUESTION; • iN ride.

tContinued from Yesterday.]
I x ish to r:-cal the atte Committetir
to the principle wine], I Givealready that it
is an essential at,d indisPeos.'ole part i our duty in
the present circtunsiancol, at th, sain:• time
we establish a tu'm of Goverianted capable of-con
sluOing the ,pubia.i.linsi-less 'with 5.-..,ergy and effiet,
to 'f) l'ovide a comOete and ample ewe toy -ter
abling his Majesty, whenever it shall please God fe,
restore him to his health,' to re-a•sume the eXercise
of his. ainhortly, fully, freefy, and without ems
barraSsmeot. Our atic.slo:s hate acted oil the
ground of a similar diny in the curse of every Re-
gency which has hitherto existed in this country,
as far as we can trace them with any degree of ac-
curacy, either in the records of Parliarnent, or in •
trie annals of our history . Per, if w e:' except the
two Instances of R:chard the Third, and of the Pro.-
tedor Somerset (which are"Soch such eVident'usnr-
patioes that no se-e,s can laid upon them) it wilt
be found, that during the course of Many centuries;
no subject in these realm:, hoWever eearly allied td
the person of the King, has been permitted in any
.case of infancy, or disability, to exercise the whole
prerogative and authority of the Crown. The mode
of restriction has, indeed, for the most part, he,en
different front that which is now proposed ; hut tlel
principle has been the same ; that in the estebiiiii.
ment of a Regency, it is necessary not to loel; ex- •
elusively to the • strength and efficacy of the iette.._
mediate and temporary government, but to c (,tisalt
at. the sans - time, the pertna:,eut interest and ~:cuti+
ty of the Kieg;. in whose name, and on whose be-
half, the authority so given is intended to be exere.
eked. There'.is no thstioetion on which it can be
argued, 'that this principle,- which has been -
,forunly adopted in the case of the minority of the
Sovereign, is less applicable to the circumstauces
under which we are now placed. 'Perhaps it would
not be difficult io assign some reasous fur thinking
that 'applies with much greater force to the preseht
case; and that in the consideration of the measures
now to be adopted, it might with propriety be 'car-
ried a great dell farther than in any former instance.
But without entering itrio this, which might lead to
an unnecessary discussion, it -i. sufficient to have
estnb:iibed, that the principle of limiting. the power
Of a Regency, with a view to me future secngiiy of •
the Sovereign; has been felt and titled upon in every
.case 'which has hitherto occurred, and is almost
eo•eval with the Constitution of the Monarchy it- : •

have already admitted, that the mode in which
••this has, been done, has usually been ditfereutfroin
that which is now proposed. The whole powers
of the Crown have,Aur the Most par:, been c:tllei
into action, although I believtt it irpOt. be.sh..•wit
• that this has not always been the case but they.
have riot been given to any one subject ; they hay.:
been divided
Lamong a variety of p,rsons, differing,
in rank, Lituation, acid de,cription, and wh(,--.e jar-
ring interests have. been thought to afford the n.st -
security, thin they would not Concur in 'fil:Asl.ll7Yi-
- prejudiCiA,l6,the tilithority of t:ie Sover...ign. And
With sped to this point,. which relates not to vane
principle, but to the manner of limitation, 'it 1.3-1-,
tainiy becomes our duty to proceed with a snore
than ordinary degree of deltberation, caution, and
doubt, when we are desired to depart from the au-
thority, not only of a remote antiquity, even„or '
recent precedet4, estanlished by persons .erni
for their integrity and -.4isdoin, For toy t.
nowever, tnough ,srisitiog to. .peak 'with a;i
fir. re-
spect which owe to thoseprecedenti, I cannot: .
but say, that I have, very serious do,:btS.whetlir'r the .
two last Regency Bills were well adapted to ;
cumstances of the times in which tliev pai%ed. But
this,. at least, I may assert with great.. r !ence,
because I know I aru„supported in it by the-
opinion of this House, and of the cooDi!
in the present case, the establisittnent of • ;ch a
form as is there provided, would have, bee:.} i.roduc'=-
tive of infinite mischief, without beingcumpensA-
ed by any one real advantage. •
We are, I believe, ail agreed, that the govern-.
anent of these kingdoms-should, during this unhappy
• interval) be committed to the administration of one
• person, Prid that it is extremely desirable that this
•person should be his Royal Highness the P,ince of
Wales. But if, by general consent, we r depart in
this respect, from Ahv prat ice of our ancesto:s; it
surely cannot be reasonable to•argue, that we are,.
therefore) boUnd to adhere to kin another point so
intimately connected with the former.

. It cannot be a just conclusion to say, that beCauSe
they committed the whole au hority of a King into
the Bands of a Regent, controlled and fettered by a
fixed and permanent council,
.it is proper for us to
delegate the same power to-a single person, Un-
restrained by any similar check. It 'seen:F. 'on the
contrary, that the more widely we depart from. one.
line of limitation and •iestraint, the more we are
b9und to look to,some other mode- of carrying the
same niapose into effed ; unless, indeed, w...!
as.ukeless Ni improper, the whole principle of pro-.
viding a „security for the rights which are :ier..-kiftec
to be exercised by the Sovereign himself, in the
happy event of his recovery.
'Those who hold that principle to'be founded both
in sviedorn and in justice, must Make their opt ,ol
between the two propositions of a Regent controll-
ed in'the exercise, or limited in the extent of
authority. Of these I have no doubt in s Oen
the latter is infinitely more agree-able to the, irne
spirit of the British constitution. That whatever
degree of political authority is fit, uncl,.r a,ty given
eticunistatices, to be exercised for tilt:.
executive government should be exerciied by a
person ; and that wherever.. any just groo,.d
clanger' is found to exist, it.should be gottraeL! rloirtst,
it posible, by limiting the extern of tire po .er p,o
'exercised, rather than by dividing_ amongst in ,cy
