TRIAL OF LORD VISCOUNT MELVILLE:

At an early hour this morning, indeed fo early as
fix o'clock, the fireets leading to Well •inner Hall
were crowded with carriages, containing an affem-
blage of the firll rank and fafhion, who were obliged
to wait at the g*at gateway in Palace yard until
nine o'clock, when the doors leading to the galleries
for the fpedators, were thrown open. The crowd
was very great, but no accident happened, nutwith-
(landing the unufual preffure. About ten o'clock
the Peerefks began to arrive, and took the places
allotted to them, and the galleries were by this time
completely filled.—About half pet ten the Mt-
nagers for concluding the Impeachment entered in
full &eh, and took their places in the box allotted
for them on the left of the Bar.

Mr. Fox was fo much iniirpofed, that he
was obliged to wear a great cht., The Members
of the Houfe of Commons then followed, and took
their places, the attendance was numerous, and the
feats allotted fiir the Members were almoll full.—
About eleven o'clock the Members of the Houfe of
Peers began to arrive, and took their feats in their
robes: the Prince of WA Las and all the Royal Dukes
were prelim. At half pall eleven the LOROCH AN C EL.
Loa entered, preceded by the Mace, and took his feat
on the Wool Sack. Proclamation was then made
for filence in the ufual form, and intimation made
that HINAT Lord Vifcount MaLvit.cs now Rood at
the Bar of that Houfe accufed of high crimes and
mildemeanorr, by the Commons of Great Britain and
Ireland. The LOAD CHANCELLOR then fhortly re-
peated the fubflance of this proclamation, and
called their Lordibips' attention to the articles of
impeachment, and Lord Ms xvs IA a's anfwers thereto
which were about to be read.

One of the Mafters of Chancery then read the Ar-
ticles of Impeachment in a clear and diftinft manner,
and afterwards the feveral anfwers put in by Lord
Meivisse, which occupied nearly an hour. The
LoanCetaaceLLoa then Rated, that this was the time
for the Commons of Great Britain and Ireland, by
their Managers, to fubßantiate their charges againft
HEIIIRT Lord Vikonnt Met.mt.e, after which Mr.
WHITBIPAD rote, and proceeded to Rate the grounds
of the charges with the fame manly and impreffive
eloquence, which fo much charafterizes that Gen-
tleman.

It will he teen in our report of the proceedings in
the Houfe of Lords lift night, that we are not per-
mitted to give any account of the Trial till the whole
is concluded.

The arrangement of Weaminfter Hall, differs in
no refpeft from that on the occafions of the trial of
Mr. Hafiings, except that by the union of Ireland with
Great Britain, the Peers of that kingdom, with their
Ladies and fons, not Members of the Houfc of Com-
mons, are entitled to places. !Inlet's objeetions to
evidence (ball arife, which are not anticipated, the
trial may be concluded in (even or eight days.
, as we have alreadylflateri, opened
the charges. He is to be followed by Sir SAMBRE
ROMILLY, the Solicitor General, after which the
Managers will adduce their evidence, and Mr.
WHITBREAD fun; up. The whole of which may be
done in three or four days. It will be for the Conn-
ie! of Lord Maxvixt.s to regulate the period of the
defence.

The infide of Weaminfter Hall prefented a molt
beautiful afd pieturefque coup d'ail ; the Galleries
all round were almoft entirely filled with females of
the firft rank and fafhinn, all of whom, as well as the
gentlemen accompanying them, were in full drcfs.
Great regularity was preferved in every department
over which the Lord Chamberlain has any contioul,
and no accident whatever, we believe, happened.

The following notice was fixed at the Pok-Office
yefterda y :
The Bremen pertmantna, containing the hags from Italy.
Germany, and Turkey, which &mid have come with the Ham-
burgh Mail, nut arrived at this Office."
Orders have been given to our cruizers not to mo.
left any Dutch fishing veldt on their way with Eh
to the London market.

The following Extrafts are from American Pa-
pers, received yetlerday, to the 17th ult.—An article,
dated Bolton, March 7. Rates as follows ;
" In Senate the appearance of fomeihinz is going
on. General SwlTH's Bill, concerning our differ.
ences with Great Britain, has paired, and is now be-
fore the Prefident—how he will determine, is very
dubious. If we negociate, it will be deferable to fend
a Minifter ; but how can that be done, without of-
fending MONROC, by implying that he is inadequate
to the buftnefs Mr. Mawsow, perhaps, would have
no objeetion to this Rep; but the Prefident has, and
I think will not content to it. The Committee are
prepared to report a Bill in favour of the claimants
in the Yazoo bulinefs. The brig Hornet will cer-
tainly fail from New York foon. becaufe the officers
have left Wafhington."—(Pollasson )
A Paper of March 12, fay,:—" Official notice of

acquiefcence with the unpilt policy of BONAPARTI, is
Rigmatifed by the Editor of The True eimerican, in
