Yesterday a Council was held at the Foreign Of-
fice. There were no less than ten Members of his
MAJESTY'S Cabinet present. Their deliberations
commenced at half after one, and the meeting-WAS
not dissolved until it was .oearly• six o'clock. . At
night, Mr. Mims, one of his MAJESTY'S Messeners,
was sent off with dispatches to the Court of Stoc: -
holm ; and Mr. SYLVESTER, another of his MA
JEsrs's Mes...zaigers, set out for Spain.
A great doubt prevailed on 'Change yesterday,
with respect to the authenticity of the Ditch Decree
against Exportation, owing to a letter being received
from the toast of Holland, of the 2lst instant, by . a
very respectable Dutch house. It was also said that
a ship had arrived from Harlingen in eight days,
Which brought no news of the decree. Some even
go so far as to affirm that it is a mercantile forgery,
for the. purpose of raising the price of the articles
lately imported from Holl=l. - day vr two will
decide this point. • -11

A vessel arrived from the Canary Islands, which
she left on the Bth inst: By lasers received by this
conveyance, we are informed that the Islands were
not unanimous in their acknowledgment of Fsanniasin
VII.
.The Governor of Grand Canary, who is in fact
a Frenchman, had prevailed over a great body of his
adherenti to resist all new doctrines; this was strongly
opposed by the loyal friends of FERDINAND VII. but
the French
.brad the advantage; they dissolved the
Junta of the Island, and imprisoned some of the
Members attached to the new cause ; the Island was
a scene of confusion, and the people were fearful the
whole would end in a civil broil.

peared _fhat Piper had drawn this draft on the
lfith ult. for the purpose of paying his workmen ;
and, wont four .o'clock, gave it to hjs apprentice,
E. Han,to get cash. The boy Lid it on the mantle-
',lice, in 'the coentiair-house, till he waled his hands;
and on his return ►t was missing. The prisoner, who
had worked for the prosecutor as a labourer, had been
seen about the yard that day, and became the object
of suspicion ; he was subsequently found dcinking
at a public-house in Pepper-alley, from which, how-
ever, he made his escape, but on the following day
Was apprehended, when they found 171. 11s. in the
crown of his hat. George Wilson, Messrs- Ander-
son's partner, proved the payment of the draft to the

prisoner.
In his defence he said he had formerly been a gen-
tleman's servant, and worked for a considerable time
at the London Docks, where he had 11. 2s. 6d. per
week wages, from which he generally saved 10s. 6d.
and that on the 18th of September, being Sunday,
he found a five pound note in Fcnchurch-street, there-
fore all the money which was taken from him was his
own savings. He had no witnesses, but was certain
Mr. Piper would give him a good character. Mr.
riper said he did not know any thing of him though
he worked for him ; but, on enquiring of the porter
at the Tower, he was informed that he had been dis-
charged from thence as a lazy stoundrd.—Guilty.
T4omar Henry, a decent-looking rung man, was
charged with a capital offence in feloniously stealing,
on the 19th of September, a silk umbrella, the pro-,
perty of Charles Price, privately in Ms shop.—Guilty
of stealing, but not privately, in the shop in King-
street, Spitalfields.
Yesterday, Wm lialkock, a hackney coachman, was
indicted for burglariouslaentving, in the night-time,
the dwelling-house of Samuel Benjamin, in Mary-la-
bonne-lane, on the ISth of September, and stealing
theneout-a quantity of wearing-apparel, the property
of the :aid Benjamin..
The prose.w.tor was a Jew salesman, and kept hisl
slunaisalhe lower part- of the house, No. 64, Mary.:l
la-holidetute, Which was partitioned off from the'
rest, of the house, and in which his son usually slept
at nights. After this shop was shut up on the night
above stated, and: padlocked on the outside, as his
sot had not slept there for some .weeks on account
word NVIS brought him that his shop was
rib'Bheil, 'about hall past nine o'clock. He went there
with his son, and found it had been broken open,and
the shelves stripped of all the property.- Upon in-
qaiey.,hn wasintbrmed that-a hacknty-cOachhad been
seen waiting for a considerable time before the *hop,
and two men were seen frequently passing between
ths-shap.nrd the coach, and putting into the latter
vaaious parzels of goods. That they then mounted
the boa ,audr, drove- off with the coachman. One young
mast, who.stispeoed something wrong, followed the
coach and Railer, out :to the coachman to stop ; but
instead of• stopping he cleave the more furiously ; the'
Toung man, however, came up with the coach, and
observed that it. was No, 278 ; and upon some far-
ther inquiry, it was found -oat that the driver was
ihe Owner,,and that his stand was in Holborn,
near the Bell and Gate. Thither Benjamin' his son,
and some others went, and 'waited at the BIM and
Mite till one teeloek, when -they saw a coach drive
op :-.thn gate- of the yard was opened, and the coach
drove in; and it wasthierved to be No. 278. _alert
was one man on the to's with the coachman, and both
tvere•taltenintot;cesuxly ; upon searching the coach,
a great stoat was found-under the seat, which Benja-
mit knew to have. been
.in his shop the preceding
evening, and his son swore that he himself had been
repairing it,. and that it was not ready for sale when
be last saw it. • • •
The'pritoner, on being interrogated that night
abet the conveyances. of goods from Mary-la-bonne-
lane, denied potitiVely.that his coach I,ld been in
Magda-bonne parish. daring :any part of that whole

ber the prisoner called at his house, in Hertford-
street, Fitzroy-square`, wishing to see an apartment
he had to let ; she W 2.3 decently attired, and had the
appearance of the wife of a respectable tradesman.
When she came down from inspecting the apartment,
she expressed her approbation of it, and gave him a
silver tea-spoon, which she said she would- leave with
him as earnest. She said she and her husband had
only been one night in town, and they slept at an
Inn, in Holborn, where she had left him. She then
quitted the . house, in order to get some money from
her husband, and came back in the course of the
evening, when she went to bed, but her husband -did
not cone. Next .morning she went out; and on the

John Sutherland, an Excise Officer; indicted for

London Docks' Company. It appeared by the evi-
dence that the prisoner was stopped, at the west gate
of the Dockst
.by John M,Dowal, a Custom-house
Officer, belonging to the Docks. The prisoner was
searched, apd three quarts of liquor were found in his
pockets, in tin canisters.. He had been on board the
Anna Christina, a Gottenburgh vessel, the same day,
and it was suspected he had purloined the brandy, as
the ship was taking in spirits. The prisoner said he
received the liquor from the Master of a ship, and he
called several witnesses, who gave him a good cha-
racter for honesty. The Jury, under all the circum-
stances, acquitted hisn.

POLICE, ter.

Ustoa HALL.—A case of some importance occur.
red at this office on Thursday, in which Mr. Hum
phries was for the prosecution ; Mr. Alley as Counsel
for the Defendant. The merits were distinctly these :
Mr. HVIIPHHIES stated, that the Defendant having
been suspected of taking in goods, such as corn, grain,
seeds, &c. improperly, it was judged proper to tssue
a search warrant, which was executed by Lockie and
Goff ; they found a large quantity of articles of that
description, and asked from whom they had been ob-
tained, and if any bill of parcels could be produced ?
they were answered in the negative, and took the
stock away under the power of the warrant and the
Buinb.boat Act, and now prayed for condemnation
of the property under that Act, as well as the penalty
under the statute.
Lockie,. the officer, proved his part of the facts,
and the case for the prosecution here rested.
Mr. ALLEY, in an energetic speech, condemned.
the whole of the process from the beiginung to the
end. In the first place, it did not appear, that tile,
worthy Magistrate who granted the warrant had a
sufficient degree of information before him to found-
it on ; and, in the next, that the officers, even on
that warrant, were not authorised to act as they had,
in tearing away all a man's stock in an undefined
way. As well might they come into the shop of any
general dealer, and say—" Where did you get this ?
what did you pay for that ? have you a bill of par-
cels for the other ?" If this was to be admitted, tio
man would be safe in his house ; and the old adage,
that every Englishman's house was his castle—would
be done away. .
Arty spoke at some length on this point,
and others.. consonant to the case. It went to the
sitting Magistrates, THOMAS EVANCE, G. R. CHAM-
BEnti, end .ruostas Fein, Esqrs. whose opinion was,
that the Defendant should pay the penalty, and for-
feit all the corn, malt, and seeds, except one parcel,
and hops.
Yesterday -Sarah Poweer was brought up for a final
eeirmination, on a charge of robbing various persons
wBo had employed her to wash for them and clean
their houses ; but the Magistrate committed her for
a further examination.
MANSON Hous&—Yesterday Elizabeth /Farling,'
wife of the person of that name, who is convicted of
!stealing two trunks, the property of Mr. Close, of
Hounilstlitch, was charged with assaulting that gen-
tleman, and tesuing. his clothes, &c. The Loan
MAYOR severely reprimanded the prisoner for such
improper conduct, observing that Mr. C. had merely
, done his duty in prosecuting the depredatordsid that,
..her behaviour could not possibly benefit her husitand,
but rather tend to in itate the prosecutor still more
against him. The prisoner expressed her concern for
the impropriety of her conduct, and was dischar
MARLOOROUGHATREET,--The keeper of a brothel,
in Woodstock-street, Oxford-street, charged a gen.
*tleman's servant with breaking his windows, and.
lurking about his doors several successive evenings.,
It appeared by the statement of the complainant, that
this conduct was a drawback upon the business of his
house. The prosecutor ordered him from his door
several times, and on Wednesday evening he was
Obliged to use some strong means to accomplish his
'object. On Thursday night, while the prosecutor
was sitting in his parlour, a large stone was thrown
through the window, and on his going into the street,
' be discovered the defendant retreating, whom he fol.
Ljowed aud secured. The defendant was committed
for waist of bail.
Friday se'nnight, Carlisle gaol was again broken
open, when the notorious Naylor, along wits three
other prisoners, viz. White, Row, and Barnet, made
their escape.
