In the preceding columns we have given a long
article from Vienna relative to the prefent campaign.
But though, on the face of it, it appears to be from
Germany, it muff be confidered as a French mann-
faatire, being copied from the Mohair. In this view,
however, it is interelling, as it ferves to thew the
artifices employed, fometimes to terrify, fometimes
to cajole the Emperor of Aufiria into a feparate
11 peace.

None of the Hamburgh Mails, of which three are
now due, have yet arrived. They are expeded to
bring much more favourableacaoants than the French
have exhibited refpellting the forces of the allies, and
the hopes that may yet be entertained of the enemy
being forced to retreat. The late ft difpatches received
by Government are underitood to be much More fa•
vourable than. judging from the French details, might
have been expefted. Thefe difpatches are of the TO
ult. and are decitive as to the fatfehood of the pre-
tended offer of the RulEan army to capitulate.

French frigate being off Ceylon. and that the had

flipped her cables and went off in the good hope of
failing in with the Frenchman ; this, no doubt, is

a very fall failing frigate, we null loon to hear of

Me. Ktsc, THE COMEDTAIIe-•At an early hour
yefterday morning this worthy man and excellent per-
former paid the debt of nature at his houfe, in Store-
flreet, Bedford-fquare. lie was born in the year
5730, Ind died in the 75th year of his age. He firft
appeared at Drury Lane Theitre in 1748, having
exchanged the attorney's quill for the tragic Trun-
cheon. His fait effays being pea titer without no-
tice, and the charatiers in -his Witw being pre-occo-
pied by veteran performers, he repaired to Bath, and
afterwards to Ireland, where• he vapidly accom-
pined himfelf in his profeftion. He was recalled to
Drury Lane Rage in the year 1759, when he was
received as one of the firft con 1c performers of the
day. For forty years he was then conftantly before
the public, and the favourite TOM KING ever conti-
nued to meet with high and deferred approbation.—
Thole who recolleEt his Lord Ogleby, Sir Peter Teazle,
Tom, Braii, and Lifardo, mull be rather faftidious in
their approval of any fucceffor .in thofe parts. He
was a proprietor of the Brillol Theatre, and of Sad-
ler's Wells, both gai6ing concerns ; but unfortunately
his daily induftry experienced fad defalcations from
his sightly hazard! He was Manager of Drury-lane
Theatre for fix years, during. which he acquitted
himfelf with great credit ; but on Tome difference
between him and the proprietOrs in 1788, he relin-
qnithed that fituation, and finally quitted the Rage
in ;Soli In private life he was full of.whim, ante-
dote, and pleafantry ; and his general conduct bore,

MB 8.41117.

Monday twelve prifotiels were tried, one of whom
was capitally convieted, viz.
Edward Nelfon, for returning from tranfportatioa.
Four were convicted of felony, viz.
William Lomax, for Reeling a fheet, the property
of Sarah Ellifton ; and William Jones, for Keeling
a watch, the property of E. Gunnell.
J. Rayden, G. Rayden, and W. Noble, were in-
dieted, the two former for fleeting, and the latter for
receiving, a quantity of lead, the property of the
parilltioners of St. Mary Whitechapel.
The prifoner, J. Rayden, was fexton of the parifh.
In the month of July WI, the church was undergo-
ing repairs, and the lead of the old roof was depofi-
ted in the church porch. The prifoner, W. Noble,
a plumber in the neighbourhood, having contrafted
with the pariffi for the leading of the new roof, was
to receive the old lead at a certain price. It appear-
ed, that none of the lead was milling until Noble's
men came to work in the choich ; the church doors
were carefully lotted every evening at fix o'clock,
and the keys delivered to the, fetion„ who refided
clote by the chord. A watchman was employed to ,
watch the church. dbring the night ; but in code-
quence of being anted by the Sexton that he wouldi
officiate for him, he ufed to ggoo away at four in 1110.
morning, after knocking up the fexton. About four
ton of lead was mint ;.but the indielment only
charged to the value of 395.. . Tu quantity fuppofed
to apply in the piefent cafe. .

maker, oppofite the church, dePofed, tit-M.00,01e
morning of the 22d July, about five, o'clock, &slaw
Wrn. Noble crofs from his own, houfe to that of the
lesion, and loon after law the three prifoners, 4E4'
ed by Come of Mr. Noble's fervants convey a trofki
acrofs to Noble's houfe. By foMe accidentthe truck
had ensrfet before the fexton'S 'Obi, and a quantity
of mortar was left by the lead falling.out. The pry,
loner, J. Rayden, carefully fcraped it away to the'
other tide of the Ikea. ,-
The prifoners in their defence attempted to prove,
that the conveyitig% away the lead to Noble's hook
was a fair tranfallion between them, Rayden having
fold to Noble a lead ciftern, which he proved to have
received when he firft entered the twine as fexton.—
The circumftance ache mortar, however, attaching
to the lead, while the ciftern was proved to be inclot
ed in wood, proved fatal to the defence.
•As the lead being found in the fexton's houfe was
the only proof of his having Itolen it, the Bench was
of opinion that the fafer way for the Jury would be
to acquit George Rayden, his fon, a boy of thirteen
years of age, who, if he was found guilty, could only
be for receiving goods knowing them to have been
ftolen. The Jury, after deliberating an hour, return
ed a verdia—John Rayden guilty of Reeling. George
' Rayden, Not Guilty. William Noble, Guilty of
receiving.
Two were convieted of mifdemeasours, viz.
R. Patterfou, and T. Newfham, for a confpiracy to
defraud Benj. Robe. under pretence of obtaining
him a fituation in the Ordnance Office.
And five were acquitted • among whom
' Sarah 7ofw: Mary Cagan, and William Parka,
were indifted for felonioully breaking into. the houfe
of John Canning, hatter, in Whitechapel, and tik-
ing money to fome amount from the fame.
It appeared that John Canning, the Profesutor,
had lived with Mary Middleton as his wife, and had
two children by her. On an early day in the month,
of November laft, the prifoner, Mary Camden. tame
to his houfe as fervant, and on the day following,
Canning, in confequence of tome quarrel, ditiniffed
his former miftrefs, who carried with her the dear
pledges of their affeainn. ' But children not being
able to fubtilt on love, their mother thought it necet-
fary next day, or two days after, to apply in perfon
to Canning •for fublittence to her children. The only
anfwer the met vAth from her' old paramour, who
fumed to have found new game in her younger ri.l
val, the prifoner, Camden, was a beatipg, for which
(he had him taken into cuftody. The rrifoner, Cam-
den, was not in tke bottle when he was taken up; he
therefore, before going with the officer, (mired the
windows and turned the key in the door, and put it
in his pocket. Mary Camden, however, did not de-
fert hint in this hour of diftrefs, hut viftted him in the
lockup houfe, and continued till about eight or nine
in the evening, when (he returned to the houfe ; but
not having the key, called on her neighbour, Sarah
Jones, who, with William Fordan, who lodged in
her houfe, affitted her to get in, by Fordan's enter-
ing by the window, and opening the, door.
The Profecutor depufed, that he had in a drawer
a flocking containing 93 guineas, with ten guineas
lying Toole in the fame drawer. In the drawer above'
there was a two pound note. Thret of the 93, the
ten guineas, and the two pound note, with leveret
hats, lie depofed to having been taken while he was
in cuftody.
Mary Middleton was paffing the day after the
Profecutor was taken into cultody, and was called in
by Sarah Jones, in whole houfe were the other two
prifoners, where they told her of Fordan having
gone in at the window, in order to open the door on
the preceding night. Mary Camden told her alfo
that (he had told a hat for ass. which (he Paid (he
had done by the defire of the Profecutor. Two days
after this, Middleton having vifited the Profecutor
in cuftody, was lent by him with another man to his
houfe, to fee what Rate it was in, and to look alter
the mosey.
On coming to the houfe, they found the dwers
open, and only 90 guineas in the Rocking, wra
ith ten
guineas and the 21. note miffing.
Before the erkence was doled, however, Baron
GRAHAM interfered from the Bench, and did not
think it necelfary to trouble the Jury any longer on
this queflion, as the circurultances attendibg the
trantaaion of entering the houfe of the Piotecutor,
and the public manner in which it was done, could
not rothitute a burglary. Betides, the prifoner,
Camden, was entitled to the proteetion of the Prole-
tutor, from the manner in which he lived with her,
and might think herfelf juftified therefore in making
ufe of his houfe.
The Jury brought in immediately a Verdict of—
Not Guilty.

Malay 23 prifoners were tried, two of whom
were capitally conviele, viz. 7. Strum and 7. War-
wick, fur breaking open the dwelling.tioule of T.
Kirby, and kitting therein 7s boys tbirt:,.

property of the Duke of Marlborough, from an out-
building at Sion Houle. On the 3r it of October two
men were feet (tripping the lead off his Grace's out-
houfe ; but on their being alarmed they efcaped. On
'fearching the premiles the prifoner was found con-
ctaled under a tack, and confiquently the was coal-
'dered an accomplice. Other corroborating circuar-
fiances to this effect were adduced, and the ptifoner

tions this teem than there have been for frame time
back. Nine received [entente of death, via.

John Leonard White and John Richardfon, fur cat.

When John Leonard White was put to the bar,
and anted by the Clerk of the Arraigns, according to
form, what he had to fay why judgment of death
fhonld not be pronounced on him ?' He addreffed
the Court in a refolute manner, and did he had hem'
tried at the lab talons for the fame offence, and had.
been acquitted.; but the judge had ordered him to,
be detained, and tried this tetfions as a 'rogue and
vagabond • inflead of which he was, without notice,
tried for his life, and found guilty by the Jury. Hi
further Rated, that if notice -had been given him of
the nature of tfte offence he was to. have been, tried,
for, he could have brought wimeffes to prove, that,
the hory told by Randall was all a fabrication, and,
that he was heard to fay he could not [wear to the
perfon of the man who hack him. 1".
The RECORDER faid, it did not become a man, in
his fituation to hate fuch a talfehood, as every no

fence he was to be tried for, even by the learned
Judge, who ordered him to be detained, and Witt-
