SUSSEX MAGISTRACY.

--
Mr. CARROw shcwed cause against a rule obtained by Serjeant
Bits-r, to thew cause why a criminal information should not be-
llied against a Mr. Harbin, a Magistrate of the county of Sussex,
f endeavouring to incite Colonel Hawker and a Mr. Hitchins to
tight a duel.
On the part of Mr. Hitchins it was sworn, that there being a
complaint before the Magistrates upon the Game Laws, and also
respecting the roads, Hutchins with others attended, and Colonel
Hawker and other Officers were present, when some observations
were made by Plitchins respecting the conduct of the Officers, and
Mr. Harbin said, if he had any personal complaints to make against
Colonel Hawker be had better retire with Mtn to the next room,
•tnd he bad no doubt the Colonel would give him the satisfaction
of a soldier and a geatteman. To this he replied, that his breast
ilia nut pant so high for military honours as to risk Lis life with
Jlooel H.

On the part of the Mdgis•rate It was net. denied that thettittlhi
satisfaction or soldier were used, or the latter words in answer;
repeated by Hitehins ; and it was 'fledged thne the only word;

used by Mr. Harbin were in r,inseqttence of some abusive lan-
guage on the part of Mr. Hitchins ; and that he only told him
that if lie bad any .eomplaints against Colonel Hawker lie was sure
if he would retire into the next room with him, he would give
him an explanation.
Mr. Gsattow now urged the improbability that Colonel Haw-
k ker or his friend Mr. Harbin could entertain the least notion of
fighting with a low person of the condition of Mr. Hitching, who
appeared from the affidavits to he a yeomen. and a low fellow,
who delighted in blackguard language and abuse.
Mr. Serjeant BEST and Mr. Bo 'As ND were heard in supyort of
the rule. 'The latter said, that Mr. iiitchins was not the person
described by Mr. Garrcrw ; he possessed at least eleven hundred
acres of land in the county of Sussex, a farm equal to a German
Barony, and perhaps felt himself as much entitled to the privi-
lege off h.:ing shot as any body.
The Court discharged the rule on the ground that the fair re-
sult of the affidavits was rather that the Magistrate wished the
Colonel to retire with -a sturdy English yeoman; in order to
frighten him by talking high in private, than to provoke a duel. 'lle
words SOLDIER and sal-neseriot, being denied, the whole
phrase was deprived of its sting.

THE KING V. DODD.

Mr. PARE, Mr. ',AWES, DIId Mr. ADOLPHUS, were beard on
behalf of the Defendant, against a Rule obtained by the Attorney
General ; they contended that the Defendant, in forming a Distil-
lery Company, did not come within the meaning of the 6th of
Geo. I. e. 18. In passing that Act, the Legislature intended to
protect the public against the frauds of speeqlators during the
mania of the South Sea scheme, and the only person found guilty
on that Act, was a person of the name of Cawood, during the
time Sir R. Raymond was Attorney-General • but Metcalf, and
other distillers, who had made the affidavits in the present ease,
did not shew what injury the public had sustained, or were litely
to sustain, from the companies that had already been formed, and
therefore it was requisite for them to prove injury and grievance
on the public, before the Court would grant a criminal informa-
tion. They contended, that the Companies already formed, were
of great public utility ; and if the Court should grant the Rule,
it would ruin all public Companies that had been formed these
forty years.
These arguments were most ably answered by the ArroßN VI--
GENERAL, who argued upon the policy of the statute, and en-
deavoured to they, both from the words of it, and from the na-
ture of such bubbles in general, that this must be a bubble and a
cheat, although he wished to avoid any peculiar and personal al-
lusion or severe imputatisln upon Mr. Dodd. He said, however,
thou he should not have a greater confidence in hint, because he
had also engaged in other schemes of the same kind, particularly
that of a paper-mill.
We are unable to give a full view of the arguments on both
sides; but the chief question is, whether, as the Defendant con-
tends, it is necessary to shew from facts, that the scheme is of
itself injurious to trade, or, as the Prosecutor contends, that the.
AO has declared, that Joint Stock Companies, with tranferable
shares, are nuisances, and prejudicial to the public front the nature
of the things themselves. One argument of the Attorney-Ce-
neral is very forcible, that all transferable shares presuppose that
the-original proprietor, when he parts with his share, has no fur-
ther responsibility, whereas it is clear law, that he who engages in
the original subscription, would be answerable for the acts of the
body, notwithstanding he had sold his share.
Mr.Stljeallt BEST rose to address the Court on the same side,
when the Court adjourned.

BADAJOZ, AUGUST 1.

Don Frederico Moreti, Governor of Jurumena,
wrote a letter to the Captain-General of this Pro-
vince, dated the 29th ult. stating, that a division of
French infantry, computed to consist of between
5000 and 6000 men, and 800 cavalry, encamped
between Pegoins and Vend asnobas, had put themselves
in motion with an intention to attack his army, which
was stationed in Montemar, and the city of Ebora ;
and that they attacked him at eleven in the morning,
and continued their hostility till four in the evening.
Notwithstanding the superiority of the enemy's
troops, who fought with the greatest courage, they
lost 3000 men, and the prudent Moreti, having ob-
tained a signal advantage, made a judicious and ho-
nourable retreat to the interesi ing post of Jurumena,
without the loss of a single piece of artillery, notwith-
standing he was followed by the French, who at-
tempted to interrupt his march, by a vivid and well
directed fire. The gallant Moreti speaks in the
highest terms of the Spanish troops employed on this
occasion.

The Reverend Mr. BARCLArs PATENT ANTIBILIOUS
PILLS.
IT was a remark of the celebrated Dr. Buchan,
Author of the " Domestic Medine„" that cuniplaints of the
stomach and bowels are the prevailing maladies of this country,
which lay the foundation of the more formidable and fatal dis-
eases—that the person who could discover for the relief and ewe
a safe and infallible remedy, would perform a most important
service to society. This discovery has now been made in the
Patent Antibilious Pills of the Rev. William Barclay, the exten-
sive sale of which, and the high estimation in which they are de-
servedly held, has considerably lessened the number of these com-
plaints; and bids fair, in a short time, to be the aseans.of entirely
eradicating them.
These Pith have a quick and safe operation, they act powerfully
and specifically on the bile, and thus remove the numerous dis-
orders connected with it—sick headaohes, flatulence,' liver com-
plaints, jaundice, nervous disorders from indigestion, &c. They
are the most valuable family medicine hitherto offered so the pub-
lic, and the Proprietor is supported by the most respectable evi-
dence of the first characters of the Nobility, and others, that they
,have never been administered to may person without giving cer-
tain and speedy relief, and in the end completing a cure.
This valuable medicine having been used with success, is re
commended by the following distinguished personages ;
The Right Hes. Viscount Dittow.
The Lord liNshorof Bairn and Watts..
Sir JOHN HONKYWOOD, Bart. M.P. for Honiton.
Sir STEPHIN LOIHiNOTON, Bart. M.P for Penryn.

PORTUGAL.

' It is painful to state, but the fact must be no longer
mewled, that the late accounts from Portugal were
such as to sender it necessary for the British Govern-
ment, if it would confirm the PRINCE REGENT in his
,intlsority in that country, to maintain a larger army
;Mist, than that which at present is left in support of
11! hgitimate claims. No sooner had the force, which
fai been employed in the expulsion of the French
Item' Lisbon, marched into Spain, than the disaffected
4ain exhibited themselves in great strength, in several
aMts of the kingdom, openly avowing their attach
Olt to a form of Government, more after the French
Wel than that which it is to the interest of xhis coun-
ra
ty to support. This disposition on the part of the
reople, or at least of those who have particular views,
is giving that of the multitude a wrong bias, requires
pat means to check, than are to be found in the na-
tional army in its present state of organization.—Such
is the actually unpleasant aspect of affairs in one part
et the western peninsula of Europe !

DUTCH PAPERS.
• Dutch Papers have reached town to the 28th ult.
and letters from Holland of the 3d instant. The
her state that intelligence had just been received,
bat lioNAPAstrz entered Madrid on the 26th ult. It
is possible that such may have been the case ; but the
Doi letters appear rather to have anticipated what
Vas considered a probable event, than to have stated
Act was actually known.
The papers are very barren of intelligence. The
walnut flotilla is again revived, and is stated to be
refitting with the utmost activity. Marshal KELLER-
Ius, as has been already mentioned, is to take the
chief command of the army of the coast assembling
at Boulogne, and was to leave Mentz towards the
close of last month for that purpose.

Mr. DRUMMOND, his Majesty's Envoy Extraordi-
lay and Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of
Palermo, is recalled, as is understood, for having
sanctioned the voyage of Prince LEOPOLD to Spain.

Mt. KRAUSE, who lately arrived in this country
from Vienna, is understood to be a Secretary or con-

Our fair, during the past week has been honoured
with more than the usual fashionable assemblage. of
company ; comprising nearly all the most distinguish-
ed families in this and the neighbouring counties.
The New Assembly Rooms, which have been
greatly embellished since last year, particularly by a
very large mirror placed at the top of the room, exhi-
bited on Friday evening a spectacle scarcely to be
surpassed, there being 387 persons present, among
whom the female part, for youth, beauty, and ele-
gance, might have vied with the far-famed routs of
the metropolis.
The Theatre, on the preceding and following even-
ing, was also scarcely less fashionably attended, par-
ticularly on the latter night, when the whole of the
pit was laid into boxes, and the comedy of All in the
Wrong, with the entertainment of The Blind Boy, re-
ceived with the greatest applause.

cheerfully join the festive board, which was well ser-
ved with the choicest viands and the best wines, were
also fully attended.

doubtless many more whose names we are unacquain-
ted with :

burgh, Lord Mountjoy, Lord Brownlow, Lord and Lady Hen-
ry, with Ladies Elizabeth and Isabella Fitzroy, Lord and Lady

KING'S TREATRE.—Last night Mr. COOIIiE again
drew a very great audience to this Theatre ; his per-
Ibrrnance was that of Skyloci, of the merits of which
our Readers are well informed. Miss NORTON, .for
the first time attempted the part of Portia, -in the
lighter scenes of which she was extremely successful,
but when is the more sedate asswriptien of legal dig-
nity she•descanted on the Divine Attributes of Mercy
and Justice, we lamented for the first time the absence
of Miss Sstrrn, who was really a moat respectable
Portia. Ms Bovron sung and spoke very well ill
Jerrica, and the play was throughout performed in a
good style.—The Forest of Harotanstatit. followed, in
which Mr. LISTON displayed his natural humour witk
the happiest effect. The Misses ADAMi distinguished
for much agility in the-merrlh:ance ; and the whole
went off with great spirit. theatre was quite full
of elegant company. • ,•
