BSUSSELS Pi/PERS.

GENOA, MARCH 3.

Bonaparte had been long planning his escape; he
cajoled the Commanders of the English force sta-
tioned before Porto Ferrajoi he seized every oppor-
tunity to shew his to maritime affairs. He
made use of this pretext to go frequently on board
of the English ships of war ; he also made excursions
to the small neighbouring islands, as Pianosa, ;
lastlyehe sent his French brig and another, which he
bad brought to Genoa and Leghorn to buy ammu-
nition, and other things for the equipment of troops.
All this had so accustomed the English cruizers to
meet his flag, that they paid no attention to his little
squadron, which sailed by night. He has left at
Porto Ferrajo, the wife of General Bertrand, the
sister of General Drouet, and, in general, all the
French upon whom he could not depend for a despe-
rate attempt. He made some of them believe that
he was merely going to Otbitello, to have a confe-
rence with King „Joachim Mural.
BRUSSELS, MARCH to.

Since yesterday a great many couriers have passed
through this city, coming from Paris, and going in
all haste to the Hague, Berlin, Copenhagen, and
Stockholm, with the news of Bonaparte's landing.

VIENNA, MARCH 1.

On the 22d of February there was a grand confe-
rence, principally upon the affairs of Italy. The
Kings of France, Spain, and Sicily, have constantly
:hewn a decoded opposition to the execution of the
article in the Treaty of April 11, 1814, which gave
Parma and Piacenza to Maria Louisa and her son.
France particularly insisted that the son of Napoleon
should not be one day Sovereign of any country,
because this might be attended with dangercus con-
sequences for Europe. England, and most of the
Powers at the Congress, are said to have supported
the-same opinion. His Majesty the Emperor Francis,
the same greattnesi of mind with which he de-
clared last year, that his daughter should be no im-
pelment to the return of the Bourbons, declared
this time 41 that be would not oppose what the repose
and the interest of Eusope demanded, and that be
left it to the Powers to satisfy the pretensions of his
daughter."

longer to be feared." Afterwards there occurs tb
following passage—" I hew raised the standard of

This was an action to recover the snm of £4,1, un.
der the Pilotage Acts, for. not taking a pilot on
board between Dungeness and Dover, pursuant to
the enactments of an Act passed in 181% by which
all ships coming up Channel, as soon as they arrive
off the line of the buoy of the Brake, are to keep a
signal flying for a pilot. The defendant was master
of the ship John Western, from Guadaloupe to Lon-
don, and by the evidence of Dan. Peake, a pilot, it
appeared that the witness and other pilots were out in
their boat looking out for the vessels coming up Chan-
nel ; they hailed the defendant's vessel, who hove-to
for a short time, and enquired what they would have
to pilot him to London ? They answered the legal
charges; but without giving them any answer, or lying-
to so as to enable them to
.get any answer, he filled
his sails and bore away, without hoisting any signal
for a pilot. The next day the witness saw the vessel
at Dover, and then b., had got a Mr. Knocker, a
pilot, on board.
Knocker proved, that he went on board the John
Western on the 23d day of September, the day she
arrived at Dover.—The vessel arrived off Dungeness
the day before.
Mr. MARRTATT, for the defendant, •contended
that the only penalty they could recover was the pe-
nalty for going from Dungeness to Dover without a
pilot. But the plaintiff insisted they bad a right to
recover for double pilotage, and 45 for every 50 tons
burthen of the ship, as the refusal to take the pilot
at Dungeness was an equivalent to refusing one for
the whole voyage, which was from thence to London.
After some discussion between the Counsel, it was
agreed to take a verdict for the lesser sum, with leave
to move to enter it for the greater.
Another action of the same kind was tried, and a
similar verdict given.
TILE KINi V. MEXIIIAN.

This was an indictment for an assault upon a
young lad of the name of Wade, who stated, that he
was at school near Gadstone-green, and one day in
going from his grand-mother's house a dog followed
him. He had occasion to go through a field belong-
ing to the defendant's father, in which were some
cows and a fawn. The dog chased the fawn, but
without his setting him on ; on the contrary, he did
all he could to recall the dog. The defendant saw
the dog, and waited the return of the prosecutor,
when he attacked him with a large stick, and beat
him most unmercifully, so that he was obliged to
keep his bed for several days.—Verdict, Guilty.

PETIT V. PHILLIPS.

This was an action against the defendant to recover
the sum of £lO, which he held as stake-holder, in the
event of a foot-race, which the plaintiff was to run
from Gillingham Church-yard to Gravesend Church-
yard and back, in three hours. The plaintiff was to
make his way over the fields to Rochester, if he
chose it, and from thence on the turnpike road to
Gravesend. In going over the fields, he was neither
to be assisted by any one opening the gates for him,
or to be obstructed by any one shutting them, but he
was to take his chance. The plaintiff claimed his
money back again. on the ground that he lost his
wager through foul play, persons having gone before
to :but the gates, in order so oppose his progress
and that the defendant had paid over the money im-
properly, without the consent of all parties concerned,
which was a part of the original agreement.
A witness called for the plaintiff proved, that he
was not allowed to make his way fairly, but that
persons shut the gates in his way, which delayed him
in opening them ; and also that a person rode so
close to him that the horse trade en his heel.
On the other side, some witnesses were called to
thew that he failed from want of physical strength,
and that he was obliged to go into an apothecary's
shop tor'relief on the way. It not, however, appear-
ing whether this was not occasioned by the impro-
per treading on his heel by the horse, the Jury, after
some hesitation, found a verdict for the plaintiff for
his ten pounds.

WORGER V. THE SAME.
This was another action, by another of the betters,
against the same stake-holder, in which the Jury gave
a similar verdict.

CROWN UDR.
Wawa Bale and Richard Baker were indicted for
a burglary in breaking into the dwelling house of
Mr. Richard West, at Sydenham, in this county, on
the Sd of January laat, and stealing 110 shirts, and
st variety pf other articles of wearing apparel, toge-
ther with several articles of household furniture.
Mr. CuaWOOD stated the circumstapces of this rob-
bery, which were as follows :—The prosecutor, Mr.
R. West, was an old naval officer, who had been 30,
years lathe service of his country, and being reduced'
to half-pay, bought a little piece of newly inclosed
waste land on SYclenhant.Common, where he built
himself a small cottage, in which he resided alone,
having neither wife not servant. Some time back
he had a daughtericatne to see him, on which. occar
sion the mother of the prisoners used to come to do
liule domestic offices, and William Baker, one of the
prisoners, was then with his mother. On the 3d of
January last, the prosecutor left home about ten in
the Morning, and did not return until a quarter past
nine in the evening ; he then found his house bad
been broke open and stripped of every portable ar-
ticle. Not knowing what to do. he applied to Mr.
Gifford, the Magistrate, who has a house on Flenge
Common, and who very humanely did actively set
himself to work to discover the robbers. lie first
sent for Armstrong, an intelligent Mater, from town,
and by his directions Armstrong made enquiries at
all the pawnbrokers and sale-shops in Woolwich and
Greenwich, to discover the stolen goods. By a dill-
gent search they found that several of the articles
had been pawned by a man of the name of Stringer.
He was apprehended, and from him they learnt that
the two Bakers had employed him to pawn them.—
l'hey were accordingly taken into custody, and upon
a further enquiry some of the clothes were *roved to
have been pawned by them.
The evidence to prove this statement was Stringer,
who was employed is pawn the clothes and the seve-
ral pawnbrokers at Greenwich and Woolwich. who
received the clothes, parts of which were distinctly
proved to be pawned by the two prisoners.
A witness saw the prisoners near the prosecutor's
house on the day of the robbery.
The prisoner William Baker, attempted to prove
