DUTCH PAPERS.

We have received Dutch papers to the sr d, tilt
they are very barren of intelligence. Indeed it can
hardly be otherwife, for greatly as the Dutch Jour.
nalifts were refrained before, they are now more fo.
King Lours, by a decree emitted at Mayeocs oaths
6th infant, has not only fuppreffed one of the Am-
fterdam papers, the Alva jewnsof (Evening Herald),
bat has decided that the unfortunate Editor mall
not be employed in any periodical work. The nit.
foa alfigned for this a& of authority Is the publics.
don of foam free remarks upon Governments with
whom his Maki, is at Peace. We have referred to
the Dutch papers, but cannot find in them any std.
de of this complexion. Indeed the difoovery would
handy compenfate for the trouble of the feat*,

ftrangle, if poffiblit, the freedom of the profs in every
country in Europe. When we recoiled. the prefumpo
iuous correfpondence of Orr° and Mulattoes' ca
this fubjea, and conned it with the extraordinary ro.
gulations ordained in the teemed article of this De.
tree, we are perfuaded that foam foch defign as we
mentioned has been in the contemplation of 80.
. It is not at random that liaggeftions era
thrown out by his Lieutenant in Holland, refpetling
the unlawfulnets of any private individual cm:titan;
the proceedings of other Governments. They are
meant to be afted upon, and will, we have no doubt,.
&only become the balls of that code which is to
impel or reftrain the public prefi of the Continent.
Had we not the Decree before us, we could not have
imagined that dello:oil* could be punted to far In an
enlightened Rate as it appears to be in Holland. Fhe
principle is broadly laid down, that even the alts of.
other (foreign, we fuppote) Governments are only to
be difcuffed in the tornoft privacy t horn which it
may be isferred, that the ineaturea of Karl Louie
are not to be tabjeft to any nomination whatever.
When his 1114#1, pared this Decree, he, no doubt,
exported that it would be duly appreciated by other
Powers, and that &Oar ads ofeom plaifa cc e and good-
neighbourhood would not be wanting on their part.
The confuted accounts from the Neapolitan tern'.
tones do not enable us to afcertaio the extent of the
clatters buffered by the enemy in that quarter. It
is evident that the whole of the country is in a Rate
of inforreftion, and that the French are extremely
perplexed by the, frequency and diverllty of the at-
tacks which are made upon them General Veg-
eta& is Paid to hate made afire of retreating towards
Haters, but to have afterward/ defeated the infur-
gents (not a word of the Bridal), and advanced
again to Cotenant. It is to be deeply regretted, that
cleans' fupport could not be given to the loyal and
hardy Calabrians. The fangninary Materna is now
advancing again& them with the whole of the French
force, and two anticipate from him much horrible and
widelpt end military execution.
As there is nothing too high or too low; tee gene.
ral or too minute, for the comprehentive genius of the
Rovisrer of the French, we learn without forfeit*,
that he bas compiled a Catechitm, for the one of
the Churches in his empire. Even the Ilmod of the
Jews, now fitting at Paris, will moft likely be cow
pelletto adopt it.

FRAUD Len tasacu OF rboottill OF 11•11Itto011.
Wm. Charles Empfon, an attorney et law, claimed
to be dikharged under the Infolvent Debtors' Ad.
Mr. thaws raid, it was with the utmoft regret
ht:ii,:pened a cafe of fach atrocity on the part of a
on of Mr. Etapfon's appearance and (ligation in
le. He oppofed his dffeharge under the sith elude
which denied the benefit of the AB to thole who
had obtained money by falfe pretences. Generally
(peaking, the obtaining money by falfe pretences was
a crime of rush enormity, that it was effential to the
inteteils of fociety it Would be made the fubjea of
time animadverfion, but in this insane the offence
attuned a deeper dye etan any of the cafes which or-
dinarily pretested themfelves in Courts of Jußice.
He appeared on behalf of a mesh unfortunate young
woman. Mr. Emptbn tome years ago became ac-
quainted with her,and he availed himfelf or that ad-
drefs which his appearance indicates, to ingratiate
himfelf into her favour. He courted her till by the
avowal of love, and a prornife of marriage, he com-
pletely wun her affeßions. Every one knew that
when a lady had once furreadered her heart fbe was
difpofed to (intender every thing elfe. A day was
appointed for the union of his fir client with the
Gentleman at the Bar. About a fortnight before
the day arrived, this fordid lover pretested himfeif
to her, and reprefeated that ready money was at that
moment a material objea to him, and that it would
greatly promote his future profpeßa, if the would
lend him a certain rum to open an acme' with at
his basket's. He obferved, that as they were to be
married in a fortnight, it could make no different*
to her. The credulous and deluded girl did what,
under Mailer eircunsfiances, any other young wo-
man would have done. She gave him near tool. in
cash. and a power of attorney to difpofe of soot.
Bock. There might have been a difficulty in this
cafe, if Mr. Ernpfon had continued in a midi
-
don to pedant -his engagement i but he had face
married anelber lady. It would therefore be for
the Chehosis aad the *Beech to fay, whether he ever
entarialenil y idea of marrying her, or whether
proem& wee UM a falfe anraudulent pretence to
chin bar efbar mosey? These were alfh objeaioni
Ole 1` Vie grottnd of his having delirered
omitting any mention •of a^
eitltbieb, in right of his wife, he .ere,
to use rents of, and in whirls hebad
as ltleior intent. Diareffieg as it unquellionably
Melteo to the feelings of his client. he would caliber
ang'the woeld relate her own Boy.
Ma Rebecca Prams, a female of veq beading
rarace about twenty-two years of age, fined the
eemillianee of the deiest pnATed up her. She
raid (he had known 14r. Empfoa finer ivy. In reot
their acqoaintance grew into a courthip on his part,
and he proneifed to marry her. He continued his
attentions till tiloa, zed their marriage was to bre
taken place about the soth of July in that year. On
the sth or 6th of July he mentioned that he was in
want of money, and reprefeoted, that as they Wield
be fo loon married, it could not make the lea& diffe-
rence whether be had it then or at the marriage.—
She advanced him tBol. and soak Bock. She cer-
tainly fhould not bare done fo if itched :tot promifed
to marry her. He had not kept his faith, but had
lime married another woman. She was ready to
have married him.

follows :

This pd was adopted ; a verdidt was obtained in favour of Mils

teen months. I declare before the whole Court, that I sever have

flotation Wandtworth, and hinted at the eircumitsnee, and a quer
ter of an hour afterwards the hurft out into a St of crying. im-
plored me to forgive her, and confeffed the affair. The ttory was
related to me by her by piece meal, and the more l heard, the more
I was &Ignited; and on that account only, the marriage did not
take place. I folernaly declare, In the face of tht. Court, that
never intended to deceive Mira Fraser, or to defraud her of a far•
thing of ber money, and if I have nut already paid it, it has not
been my fault."
A letter was here read from Mr. Empfon rn Kis
Frazer, dated the 18th of January, 1803. It com-
menced by dating the uneatinefs of his mind at the
late difcovery ; and he obferved, that, whatever might
he the cafe, his affeCtion would never be decreafed.
He next (aid, that he had always confidered matri-
mony as a political, rather than as a relisti,us inlli
tutinn, and would not have thougl.t the affair f) feri-
our, if the lady had been a widow. tic concluded

- . .
to his filen& ttto permit him to complete his engage.
meet, by making her his wife.
Mr. Senior depofed to the property the infolvent
had in right of his wife.
Mr. Piaaatar addreffed the Bench on behalf of
Mr. Empfon, and urged many arguments, deduced
from the letter which had been read. to convince the
Court that no fraud had actually been prallifed. He
then adverted to the terms of the will, by which the
infolvent's wife had a right to copybold lands, and
contended, that there was not ;be (lighten ground
for remanding Mr. Lupton.
Mr. Serjeant Oa now was clearly of opinion, that
the infolvent had an intereft in the copyholds belong-
ing to his wife, which ought to have been infected
in the fchedule. With refpeft to the fraud, he
thought that unlefs this cafe was fo clearly proved as
that a criminal proceeding might be inilituted upon
it, the prifoner could not be remanded ; and as at
pretest nn loch indillment could be brought, he
thought Empfon fhould be ditcharged.
The majority of the Bench differing from the
Learned Chairman, and they being of opinion that
the talk pretence had been [hewn, the Widens was
remanded to the King's Bench.

LONDON 1128810118. AUGUST at
' This being the day appointed to hear the cafes of
Infolvasts Who were oppofed by their Creditors, the
Recorder and avail Aldermen fat in the '..;ourt of
Ring's Bench, Csoildbafl, for that purport.
Kr. Amelley Shea came forward, and claimed to
he difeharged trader the Alt.
Mr. A Liar, on the part of Mr. Ballard, a creditor,
*piloted him. He (aid, be did not wills to enter into
a flatement of the cafe. which would be moll dif.
graceful to the prifoner, and therefore conceived it
would be much better fot him to withdraw, and not
have his condor laid before the public.
Mr. Shea being then awed whether he Ilia waked
to claim the benefit of the Aftl hid, he was not eon-
fcions of being guilty of any thing improper, and
therefore demanded his liberation.
Mr. ALLEY then proceeded to late, that in the
year 'tflot, his client being then in the fervice of a
gentleman of fortune, moil unfortunately for him-
felf, happened one morning to fee an advertifement
in a newfpaper, the purport of which was, that pub-
lic and private employments were to be obtained for
a trilling gratuity, by applying to the office of Marrs.
Reeves and Co. Pall mall. Mr. Ballard, having
feraped together 'about t soh. and wifhing to be eman-
clouted from his fituation as a fervant, immediately
Immdred to the place directed by the advertifement.
He had there an interview with Mr. Shea, and in-
formed him how much money he had, and what kind
of a fituation he would like. Mr. Shea told him, he
could fuit him in a very awn time, and promifed to
write to him in a few days. Accordingly. in two
days after, Mr. Ballard received a letter from the
nWe, requiring his immediate attendance. When
be went there, he again faw the prifoner, who in-
fanned him, that if he depofited Tao!. with him im.
msdiately,he Would be put into poireflion of a fitua-
don in Somerfec Houle in the courfe of a very (hurt
Base. The money was paid down the fame day; but no
illutation was ever procured ; and when Mr. Ballard's
patience was almoa worn nut, the prifoner told him he
bad been difappointed in the place he intended to pro-
cure for him but that, while he was looking out for
another, he thould have the conducting of his bun-
oafs, as he was fickly, and obliged to go to Bath, and
a falary of eighty pounds a-year. Mr. Ballard ac-
cepted this offer, and was in the office for force time,
until be at length found, that inflead of Mr. Shea's
being at Bath, he was aCtually living in the Rules of
the Fleet. There fads, the learned Gentleman Paid,
be would prove beyond the poffibility of contradic-
tion, and he thought Mr. Shea might be very well
cemented that a criminal profecution had not been
inaituted againfl him, on another ground, namely,
that of obtaining money on falle pretences, which he
molt now urge, under the prefent AIL apairdt Mr.
Shea's liberation. This, however, was but (mall con.
101.4tion to an honefi man, who was deprived of the
fruits of his fifteen years indufry, and ruined by the
tranfaeion.

he lived as fervant Mith Geneial Follett. and feeing

ticcuf Reeves and Co. Pall Mall, and law Mr. Shea.

would look about, and write to him in a few dept -
Accordingly, the day but one after, he received a
'titer, defiring him to attend immediately ; and on
his teeing Mr. Shea a fecond time, be told him he
could get him a &udders in the Newfpaper Office,
in Somerfet Hoefeiprovided he would pay the money
down direelly. The Witnefe inflantly went to the
exchange, fold out his Sock, and gave thF amount to
the prifoner, but never got the fituation rn Somerfet
Houfe. He was to have been pot into poffeffion in the
month of lone, 18w ; but the prifoner, when that
period came about, told him he was difappointed.
and that until he could get Come other place to (nit
him, he thould have a fituation in his office, at Bola
year. He accepted ibis fituation for the time, and
held it for fix months ; during which time, Mr. Shea
being abfent. be conceived he was at Bath ; but
finding by accident that be was living in the Rules
of the Fleet, he lodged a detainer on him.
Mr. Acne, on the part of the prifoner, contended
that Mr. Ballard, lay accepting the fituation in Mr.
Shea's Office, altered his original agreement, and re-
ceived a compeafation for his faol. He alto (aid, he
had evidence to prove, that this was by no means a
I (ham tranfattion, but that Mr. Shea silently had at
the time an order from a gentleman who held a place
in Sumerfet Houle, to difpote of it for him, and that
therefore it could not be confidered obtaining money
under falfe pretences.
' Mr. Broom was then (worn. and Rated hinstelf to
be a Clerk in Somerfet Houle, in the Stamp Office

uepartment. In the beginning of the year am, be
applied to Mr. Shea to obtain a fituation for him in
the Weft Indies, in exchange for his place in Somer.
fet Houle, but be never had eroded the exchange for
him.

a grater fraud predifed, and that therefore the Mr
,toner mutt be remanded on the clink relating to the
obtaining money under falfe pretences.
Mr. Woodhead was remanded on the (uggeftion
of Mr. Krum it being proved that he bad a Ikon
time previous to his liberation a large funs of money
about him, and had raid that he never would pay his
debte, and not care a button about an oath.
