The established charaeter of this Work, its general reception in

many thousand copies of his work in a very short period. He
hopes the principles contained in it will be immortal, and on their
account he is solicitous that his book should last, and be read and,
studied, as long as the language in which it is written.

.EMENTARY BOOKS.

THE extended, and liberal views of modern Edu-
cation, as well as the necessity, in scme cases, of subs(i ut-
ing other subjects, in place of the dead Languages, in Schools
where these languages are less attended to than formerly, has
led to the publication of the undermentioned new and improved
cooks on subjects of general, interest and incaspeusible utility.
They have already been introduced; with the happiest effects,
into many of the most considerable Foundation Schools, ind into
the best private Academies; audit is to toe pr•sumed that they
have only to be generally seen to be as generally adopted. It is
scarcely necessary to state that they are practically adapted to the
business of a School, and are so plain and simple in their treat-
ment of the several subjects, as to require little or no previous
study on the part of Tutors.

FROMTHE DUTCH PAPERS.

FARIS, MAY 49.
• Yesterday Te Dana was performed, and in the even:
ing the whole city was illuminated.
An order has been issued, that the Austrian priso-
ners of war, who are natives of Saltzburg, Berchtin-
gaden, the Inn district, and Upper Austria, be incor--
porated with the Bavarian troops.
From Augsburg it has •been written, on the 22d,
that General Lauriston entered Gratz, the capital of
Styria, at the very same time when Prince Eugene en-
tered Klagenfurth, in Carinthia. There is no hostile
corps to prevent the union of the two armies. The
remainder of the Archduke John's army have thrown
themselves into Carniola, probably in order to pro.
teed to Croatia ; but there they will meet with Ge-
neral Marrnont.

11•IUNICH, MAY 20.

The Duke of Dantzig, on the 15th, ordered Lieu-
tenant General Baron Von Wrede to repair with the
second Bavarian division from Rottenberg to Schwarz.
The advanced guard met the rebels on this side Brix-
legg. Our troops were soon able to quell the flames
of rebellion, yet the rebels endeavoured to dispute the
pass of Zell. Driven from thence, they retreated to
a chapel, and sent seven deputies to the foot of the
mountain ; but no sooner had Baron Wrede advan-
ced with a trumpeter and a few light horse, than they
fired upon the whole body and killed the horse of a
corporal of ordnance ; but a few grenades from the
hand of Lieutenant Colonel Baron Von Gravenrenth
dispersed them. However, the division could sot
pr&eed on their march to Rothholz, without being
exposed to a heavy fire from the rebels. At Roth-
holz the rebels redoubled their fire from both sides of
the mountain ; but they were dispersed by means of
the Kasper's battery and some musketry.
When the van approached the town of Schwarz,
an Austrian battalion, some cavalry; some battalions
of the Landwehr, and some rebels, were perceived
advancing. Baron Wrede instantly caused the ar-
tillery to be brought up, in order to turn them back;
but ►hey threw themselves into the town, and it was
easy to perceive that they, the Austrians, had formed
the desperate resolution of defending it. As the
ground was favourable, Baron Wrede himself led on
the Leiningen regiment of light infantry to the attack
of the Austrian battalion. That was routed, and
great numbers of them put to the sword, or taken,
prisoners.. A part of the Austrians, with the rebels,
threw themselves into the town, while another part.
attempted to destiny the bridge ; but they were pre-
vented by the Kasper's battery, but in order to hin,
der that being done, it was necessary to drive the
enemy out of the town.

The carabineers of the Ist brigade having made
themselves masters of the suburbs, a battalion of the
Sd regiment of Duke Charles entered to take the
town by. storm.. Baron Wrede p‘..tiated twice into
the town, but was forced twice to retreat to the prin.
cipal church, as the Austrians and rebels shot from
the houses upon the Bavarians. At length the ISth
rwiment of infantry took the place by storm: All
who were in the streets or houses were either put to
the: sword or taken prisoners. Among the litter are
three Captains, iind 182 soldiers, of the Austliassa re-
giment Devaus. The slaughter was dreadful, and
the courage of our troops incomparable.
Tile bridge was .taken, during- the storming, and
the whole division deployed on the plain before the
town, on the left bank of the Inn, behind the village
Dorp. The:en...tinder of the enemy were pursued to
the village Tersens. The division was too fatigued
to proceed any further that day.
Scarcely were our troops in bivouac when the two
suburbs were set on fire by the howitzer-grenades
which had been thrown in, and in half an hour they
were in flames. The inhabitants having fled, the
Lieutenant General sent part of two regiments to ex-
tinguish the flames ; there being no utensils at hand,
they did not succeed till the following day, and that
with great trouble. In the evening, at eight o'clock,
a high wind arose, which blew the sparks upon the
roofs of the houses which had escaped before; the re-
:minder-of the town caught fire; -there was nothing
to oppose to the flames ; and this town, once so
flourishing, has been converted into a heap of ashes
and ruins.

On the same day the enemy attacked font times
Major-General Von Becker's chin of advanced posts,
butwere every time driven back.

We have jest received the tidings, that the whole
of the Tyrol has capitulated ; 30,000 troops of the
line, and 6000 of the landwehr, are said to have be-
come prisoners of war. • . .

•
•

.MAY 22.—We have just received official intelligencel
that the Tyrolese rebels have laid down their arms, and
surrendered at discretion, and invoked the clemency
of his Majesty. The
,armistice of 36 hours, which
had been panted them, ended on the 19th at six
o'clock. The insurgents solicited another armistice
of 24 hours, and afterwards of one hour ; but both
were refused. The Austiian Majors Von Feither
and Teimer came to Lieutenant-General Von Wrede,
in order to present him dispatches from General
Chasteler ; but General Wrede refused to receive
them, and answered Major Von Feither, who pro-
posed a capitulation in the naive of that Generq,
that the Bavarians would not assent to any capitula-
tion but as conquerors, at Inspruck ; and this, in
fact, took place at four o'clock of the afternoon of
the same day. The rebels, full of consternation and
repentance, have laid down their arms, and returned
to their dwellings.— Peace is perfectly restored.
• MAY 23.—From Bregenz we have received the int..l
portant intelligence, that the rebels in the Voralberg
have thrown down their arms• and that the Austtians,l
who were in that province, have evacuated it. •
General Cletsteler, who is ill, and who is cursed by
the "lsyrole, retreated on the 18th with the remains
of his army over the Brenner, towards Steinach ; but
it is probable that he will not be able to reach Carin-
thia, since General Macdonald, with a considerable':
corps of the Italian army, has, proceeded from the
Italian Tytt,l to that part of the German Tyrol
through which 'General Chasteler has to pass.

The Vote of Credit Bill, the Militia Pay Bill, and other Bills,

Bill, passed througaCommittera and were reported.
On the Order of the Day for going into a Committee on the
Irish Militia Fandlies Bill,

. The Earl of HARDW iCKE made a few obserra' ions, chiefly
for the purpose of having it more generally known that provi-
sion for the families of Mili!tamen in Ireland was made out of
the Excise.

Antra few words from the Earl of LIVERPOOL, the Bill
passed through the Committee and was reported.
On the motion of the'Earl of HARD WICKE, an account was
ordered of the amount cf sums applied to the relief of the families
fot militiamen In Ireland, from 1803.

to-morrow.

SMALL DEBTS-IMPRISONMENT TOR DEBT.

Lord ELLENBOROUGH, On moving to post-
pone, for three months, the second reading of the Fe-1
versham Small Debts Bill, took the opportunity of
calling the attention of the House to the mischief)
which resulted from the number of bills that had been
passed for erecting Courts for the recovery of small
debts, where, instead of cheap justice, cheap injustice
was dispensed. It would be Intinaely preferable to
legislate in this respect upon some general, principle
which should apply to the whole kingdom ; and with,
this view, a Noble and Learned Friend of his had k'
in contemplation to bring in bill to render the
County Courts efficient for• this purpose, aid to ex-
tend their power in cases of debt to 51. • .
The Earl of DARNLEY defended the bill.

The LORD CHANCELLOR and the Earl of
MOIRA highly approved. of the principle stated by
Lord Ellenborough.
Lord REDESDALE stated, that it was his inten-
tion, in the course of next Session, to propose a Bill
for the purpose already mentioned, and allowing Other
persons besides Freeholders to be on Juries in the
County Courts, which would prevent the measure
from being burdensome to the counties. He had also
in contemplation an alteration in the Law of Arrest,
by extending the amount for which the party migbt
be arrested to a larger sum than 101. He likewise
had it in intention to frame a measure something si-
milar to the principle of the curio bonorum in Scotland,
by which theleading provisionsof Insolvent A cts should
be permanently incorporated with the law, and the
means thus afforded to imprisoned debtors of obtain-
ing their liberty, on surrendering their property under
certain restrictions, He intended to propose some
measure of this description inthe couneof next session.
The Earl of MOIRA expressed his high satisfac-
tion at the notices given by the Noble and Learned
Lord.—The Bill was ordetedto be read a second time
this day three months.

SCOTS JZ:DfCATURE.
The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the tli;rd
reading of the bill to afford further time, (till No-
vember next) for the Commissioners to report upon
the Scots Judicature.

Earl STANHOPE spoke at length upon this sub-
ject, and entered into all the principles and details of
the proposed measure. He complimented his Noble
and . Learned relative (Loid Grenville, learned he
called him, because he had studied the, laws Of the
country, and because he was once in the learned pro-
fession) for hit manly and just attempts to give the
Scotch the benefit of the Trial by Jury. He thought
that it was very difficult to thew that the Scotch peo-
ple should not hive that benefit ; they were in fact
better educated' than the people of this. country, with
the exception of certain diatracts, and more likely to
be fit, good, and erne Jurymen. If it was argued
that they were not so fit to receive that blessing as
the people of England, that would not do, for the
argument must be Pushed farther, and it must be
maintained that they were more unfit than the people
of England were hundreds of years ago: and what
was the state of the people of Englaod SOO years
ago ? Why, their Lordship might forget, that about
that time, in-the reign of our Edwards, there was
particula* application of 'an old privilege of
ours, he • wimp, the benefit of Clergy, rather of
a curious sort. The .benefit of Clergy was at first
intended only 'fee those who could read :,---After-
wards, it was farther extended to other persons
of rank and situation ; and it, wits then enacted, that
it should extend to all their Lordships, to all Peers
f Parliament, temporal and spiritual too; that is to
say, to my Lards the Bishops, as well as to Lay
Lords. Noer,-:it' was enacted by that 04tutit?;-. (of

'which he read a quotation) that Any temporal, Lord,
or aarßishop, guilty. of hrghwirt tcsSbery; 'or douse.
breaking, or horse-stealiv, might plead the benefit
of Clergy.—(4 iasigh.):-.Suc . was the state of our
fore-fathers. And yet, at that time of ignorance, it
was not thought improper to entrust common *pie
with the rights, duties, and privileges of*Jurymen.—
And if we in the dark days of ignorance were fit to
he S 3 entrusted, could it be argued that the shrewd
and knowing people of Scotland were unfit to be en-
trusted, in this enlightened century, with a similar
right ? It was impossible to maintain that argument.
His Lordship then entered into a variety of modes by
which the desired object might be gradually accom-
plished, and pointed out the means afforded by the
difference of special and general verdicts, and by the
facilities that might be given to the Court in the first
instance of making the verdict special or general.—
He likewise dwelt for some time with much ingenuity
of remark on the alterations in the forms upon which
issues depended in eases of trial. He also made many
observations as to the mode of deciding by precedents.
If for instance there were 21 precedents, a Judge
must decide by considering the first, second, and
third precedent, and so on to the end of the chapter,
"and then find out which were the best precedents, or
the most numerous ones, in order to make up his
principle of decision. In some cases, as in the law
about " Powers," he had counted about 1600 prece-
dents. Well ;if a Ridge had to decide in such a
case, what could he do ? Why, perhaps he might be
some great Legal Chyonist, who could speedily de-
compound and analyze all these different precedents,
and ascertain all their various qualities, and extract all
their particular juices, and out of them all con:lieu:lda
fine /wilt, of which he would make a most excellent
principle to guide him in his decision. But this was
not sure work. He declared himself friendly to the
introduction of Jury trial in Scotland ; but unless his
noble relation had any thing to move immediately on
this subject, he should be ouliged to give the Com-
missioners a little more time, though he- thought there
was no reason for unnecessary delay.
Lord GRENVILLE reviewed the great delays
that had occurred in this business, which had been
originally proposed by him in June, 1806, and which
had been put aside on the change of Administration,
when Parliament was dissolved, without being suf-
fered to do any more than to undo what was propo-
sed on behalf of the people of Scotland. That sys-
tem of procrastination was sedulon:ly pursued, till at
last a Commission was appointed, nominated by the
' Crown, near the close of last Session, and now,
instead of their labours, we had one report, and a ruc-
tion to give them another twelvemonth to consider
what they would do. A Bill was brought in without
.notice (and he did not know of it till withitutwenty-
four hours of one of its most important stages), to
extend thea. time. This he had and would repro-,
bate. A Noble and Learned Lord (Erskine) knew
nothing of it, though one of the Commission, till he
:old him of the circumstance. He contended at
great length on the propriety of Parliament acting`
for itself, and not acting on the op;nion of the Scotch
Judges, who could not be supposed to be favourable
to the introduction of a Jury, which was a species of
popular.controul on their authority. Still he did not
mean to speak with disrespect of those Judges ; but,
lie had found that no man would deny that the alter-
ations wished for were most desirable. The applica- i
don of the principle; he had never denied, involves!
many dfficulties ; but the question. of (am mutt be 1
sacrificed to, the essential merits of the Measnre. ' He
then, while he admittederery thing in favour of the
Commis.sionershaividtialty condemned them for their
conduct in some particular:. There was one circum-
Stance. most important,' to which he begged their
Lordships' attention. The Report itself admitted the
evil.; -but by an assumption of the strangest kind, as-
sumed a pow,cr which the Act of Parliament never
gave them. The warrant in the Sign Manual he had
never seen, but must suppose it was Worded atca-
ding to the Act. : Hermit remark, 'that though the
Act passed on the Sid day of July, yet . the Sign Ma-
nual. only bore the date oithe ?Ai of November, and
the instrument was not received in Scotland till the
20th of November. That made him incline now to
afford the Commissioners farther time. But he mug-
a,k the Noble and Learned Lord whoseotScial situa-
tion made him partkularly loGked at in this matter,
why that delay occurred ? The report noticed that
gross and scandalous anomaly in judicial proceedings
by which persons who had obtained the sentence of
the Court of Sessions were yet, before they could
obtain the consequent advantages, compelled to get
a copy of the sentence, or, as it was in Scotland le.;
gaily expressed, "an Extract of the Decreet." He
had much information on that point. In one case,
that copy cost an individual 12001. and, in another
case, where the whole property in question was from
5301. to 6031. the charge frr such copy was above
3001.. ( Hear.) Was it lit that such monstrous abuses
of Courts of Justice should exist a moment longer?—
Was it not a standing disgrace to the country, if we
permitted their existence a moment longer, 'after the
developement of the facts by a Report of the Com-
missioners ? And yet these Commissioners elected
emselves into a Committee of Supply, and did that
than which nothing could be more unconstitutional
and dangerous ? They said, that while they stated
the evil, they waited till a compensation was arranged
for the clerks, and other persons who received fees
out of these monstrous and horrible charges. Would
any Noble Lord say, that the Commissioners had
any thing to do with this part of the subject ? Were
they appointed, (appointed as they were by the
Crown) to enter into the consideration, far less to
settle the arrangements of the biirthens that were to
be borne by the public ? No; it was that House and
the other House of Parliament especially, that were
to consider of the demend of compensation by money
to any person who might be injured by any regula-
tion beneficial to the community. He protested, ne-
vertheless, and was sure that no one would propose
or support any thing that could go to destroy the
means of individual subsistence, and to take from him
that to which he had been legally accustomed tq look.
for his support or-his comforts ; but surely their lord-
shipi could not refuse to pass, at this (as he under-
stood) late period of the Sessions, a bill to remove
this flagrant and crying evil. He had drawn up a
Bill on the subject, which he meant' to offer to their
Lordships. Suppose any person placed in a situa-
tion, sitnilar to those he had described, between the
present time and that to 'which the existence of the
Commissioners was to be prottleted wonlc! U. ;tot

•
have reason to condemn their Lordships for the hard.
ship 'and injustice he suffered, through their I.orclshipa
supineness, after the acknowledgment contained in ti,
report they had received? His Lordship concluded,afte
many observations on the administration of justice,
and the abuses that had, by length of time, crept into
it, by pressing the importance of the present subject.
The LORD CHANCELLOR remarked on many
of the points of the last speech. He denied that he had
any intention of taking the House by surprize in his.
Bill to extend the duration of the Commissioners, and
appealed to a Noble and Learned Lord ( Lord Ertkine)
who had just come in, for his opinion on that subject
with respect to his motives. He felt that there were
many difficulties in the present question. As to delay,
there was siime time required ia Scotland to arrange :I.e
Courts, in consequence of the last Bid enacting a new
division of them ; besides, there was a circuit in
land as well as here. He had selected the Commis.
sioners from the Judges both here and there. r:om
Advocates, Special Pleaders, Writers of the Signet,
and others, the best qualified to give advice and in.
formation. He maintained there was no particuhte
delay, and asserted his original opinion, that the first
Bill (Lord Grenville's) was not founded or teem_
mended upon sufficient information respectingthelaw.
and practice of the Courts of Scotland.
Lord ERSKINE spoke with much argument and
eloquence in defence of the original Bill of Lord
Grenville. He admitted that he had not attended
the Commission, and said that he did not see what
great good he could do in that Commission. He con-
sidered the forms of trial in Scotland as not easily to
be adapted to Jury trial, and he thought that in such
a case we should sacrifice these forms, notwithstanding
their antiquity, to the great advantages to be derived
from trial by Jury, which he thought to be the only
way in which his native country could experience the
best blessings of justice. He adverted to the numerous
Appeals from Scotland, on which it was almost im.
possible to do justice in that House. Indeed it wa,l
almost a standing disgrace to the laws and to the
House. He cast no personal reflections. The marvel
was, how the business was got through. When he had
the honour, for a short time, to preside in the Court of
Chancery and in that House, he had stated that to be
his opinion. But he did not think the opinion of the
Scots Judges, on whom he passed a high eulogium
and tribute of praise, to be the best ground work en
which their Lordships could form their judgments.—
The Jury were a popular controul on the Judge ; and
the introduction of it might not be palatable. If a
man went into the New Forest, and called the ani-
mals there together, and asked them how they liked
saddles and bridles, it seas pretty Rely that, if they
had the power of speech, they would give their opi.
nion against any such innovation. We have not morn
to enter any farther into the spirit of the Noble and
Learned Lord's speech.
•Lord'REDESDALE spoke for some time, and
Objected to the extent of the proposed introduction of
jury trial in Scotland. In some respects he thought
jury trial objectionable, as in the case of an action in
a bond, in which, and other cases, he thought the law
of Scotland wiser than our own. His Lordship de.
fended the conduct of.* CoMmissioners, and stated
his opinion, that the original- bill was introduced
without sufficient knowledge or information respecting
the Scots Laws. .
The Bill was then read a third time,

EAST-INDIA TRADE.
Mr. PRENDERGAST called the attention of the House :a
the state of the East-India Private Trade, and Contended that pr:-
rate merchants were very hardly treated by the Directors of the
Company, who made these individuals keep pace with the prodi-
gality with which the trade of the Company was carried on. He
further contended, that the Directors had not fulfilled certain en-
gagements which they had come under, to give facility to the pri-
vate trade. To prove this, he moved for several papers of va- •
rious dates, from 1797, to the present time, consisting of Calcut:a
Gazettes, Memorials to the Directors, I.etters of Marquis Wel-
lesley, Lord Melville, &c. &c.
Mr. C. GRANT affirmed, that every attention had been paid
by the Directors to the interest of the privaje merchant that was
consistent with the privileges of the. Company. I:ut the truth
was, that nothing could satisfy these Gentlemen short at having
the trade;throWit completely open. He had no talked= to the
, production of the padres.
Mr. CREEV Y observed, that • the mercantile transactions of
the Company would come to be considered when the East India
Committee, to which these papers had been Warred, prev'nted
its Report. But he thought the Hon. Gentlemltiwho introduced
the subject, might have said Eunething as to the politicaltvils
connected with India, such as the seizing of kingdoms, &c. In
his opinion it was preposterous, after the conduct of the Marquis
Wellesley had been so pointedly condemned by the Directors. that
no measures had been taken topreveut future Cuilienaments from
.following a similar course.
