Mir Gentleman's cafe having been foinuch the
Najd! of converfation of late, it may perhaps not
he unacceptable to our readers to fee the following
Quirt Eftay on it, which we have extraded from Mr.l
CORBETT'S Political Regifter of lag Satarday :
The cafe of this Gentleman having fvom various •
cutlet, but particularly from a refleftion on the effects
which his cfcape may produce with regard to thofe
Englith perfons who were detained with hint, and
who are Rill detained in France, become a fubjed of
confiderable public, if not political importance, it
appeals neceffary to place it in a clear and fair paint
of view. With the more minute circumftances of Sir
Jam ss CEA u to's ;outfits wen as with the motives
that led ,him to France and other particulars relative
to his then fltuation there, I am altogether unac-
quainted; and, as to thofe explanations, which have,
fince his arrival in England, been publithed in the
newfpaPers, they Item to me to, be calculated merely
to apologize for the frailties of the hufilkod and the
father. This is not the ground whereon a gentleman
and a (avant of the King, ought to nand before the
world, Snch a perfon mutt look ft rid ju ftice in the face,
and, if the acquit him not, he mull be condemned. ,
The article publithed in the French Official Gazette
is as follows :—" Paris, Sept. tit, 1804. Sir Jam SS
CLAUS'S/RD, prifoner on his parole at Valenciennes,
having applied to the Minifter at War for leave to pats
two months at Aix-la.Chapelle Baths, and produced
certificates from fever:Al medical gentlemen, that the
ufe of the baths would be attended with the greaten
advantage tohis health, the Miniaer yielded.to his m-
oque, on the condition of his leaving a written engage-
ment, that he would return from the waters to Va-
lenciennes, at the e x pira tion of two months. On the loth
Metlidor 4 June z 9), Sir J. CRAU re RD fent to the Mi-
oilier of ar this engagement, couched in the follow-
ing terms: rat Having obtained permiftion of the Mind-
fier utWar to repair to the baths of Aix-la:Chapelle,
I herebybind rnyfelf, on my word of honour, to return
to Valenciennes within two months, reckoning from
the day of my departure. (Signed) The Cheva-
lier Ca• or uan."—Thus, as this ttatement has not
been', as far as I know, publicly contradided. I mutt
take it for granted, that it is, in all its parts, correct.
SirJas.CR•UTURD did then, give his parole, and did
break that parole, by coming to England, where he
now is, having no apparent intention of returning to
Francs. From the fads thus nakedly Rated, it
would be, naturally concluded, that be had been
guilty of a breach or parole, ip the ofueil fenfe of the
philtre; than which Much nothing can be More dills°.
nourable. But, in order to form a corral and jai
judgment upon the cafe, we nub inquire icto the cit..
cumaances under, !Nth Vie parole was given ; for,
that circumflances May. Materially alter the nature
of the engagement ; and,, with regard to the ace
which his efcape may have had upon the Englifh
prifoners in Franca, hit feelings for thofe perfons
mull be weighed againft the feelings of a hatband
and a father.—Confidering Sir James's conduct as
a queßion of public laweembmcing his obligations
towards the French anti towards his own country,
there would be great difficulty in coming to a deoi-'
Iron, if the Englifh. Government' had not already
fettled the point. When the French fetzed on the
Englith vifitcn s to France, and made them prifoneri,
at the beginning of the ,war, the aft was, ib this
ematry, aradevaued as contrary to the law of na-
tions; as an at at once of violence and of treachery.
live Miiith maintained the contrary, and, it would
be yen ffifecnit to fettle the point with them, who
y. if they pleats, go back fix or (even centuries
or p:eeetients. The Englith Government, how-
ever. prefeveredin its diarine. and; accordingly, they
refuted to exchange the perfons who had thus been
atiade prifonersb alleging, as their reafon for that refit-
Cal, that the arreft was a violation of every principle
of public law. The fat of their not exchanging thofe
perfons was a pretty convincing mark of their opi-
nion; but, in the circular letter of Lori Haw cum a r
to the foreign Minifiers refident in London. dated
3oth of April, 064, a foltmn declaration on the tub-
jet is made in the name of his Majelly. " Of all Go-
" vernments, pretending to be civili led, that of France
" has the leaft right to appeal to the law of rations.
4' With what confidence can they appeal to that law,
" who, from the commencement of hoftilities, have
4' been in the courfe of confiantly violating it ? They
promifed their protection to filch of the fubjeds of
" England as were refident in Franceafand might he
• defirous of remaining there after the recall of his
" Majelly's Ambaffadnr. They revoked this promife
It without Any previous nntice, and condemned thole

. •
" very perfons to be prifoners of war, and Rill retain
" them as filch, in defiance of their own engagements
tad the univerfal ufage of all civilized nations."—
The noble Lnrd here declares in his Majelty's name,
that the imprifonment of the Englifh in France was
atone an ad of violence and of treachery.—lf the
French Government did not aft according to the law
of nations; if they let all law and Office at defiance; if
they wire guided by nothing but their own inclination
and power to do wriang, we cannot, as to this parti-
cular inflame, regard them as any thing better than
lianatti.—Ther-tore, from a queitioa of public l.tw,
Ihe conduit of Sir JAMCS CeauruaD becomes a ewes-
tion of morality ; and we have only to decide whether
a man is, or is not, bound' to keep a promile, which
he has tendered to b 'mina for the purpoik of eft-aping
from their clutches .? Let it be obferved. that I by no
means pretend (Goo forbid!) to decide between the,
French Government and thole who difpute the fag
of their being civilized. I Lave them to fettle the 'rat-
' ter between them ; but if the Noble Lord's declar I-
lion made in the King's name, be true, then I infiil
that, as far as relates to the arrefi of the Englifh in
'France, the French Government mull be regarded as
banditti, efpeciilly by a perfon in the employment ell

which, in confecptencr of his efcape, may have beet

no one but himfelf could poffilsty dscide; but, as it
appears that he had a wife and ysinng family in Eng-
land, I think it would be very difficult to grew that
the/tneling which led him to England was not far
preferable to that which would have detained him in

in daily expeltation of being invaded by the latter.--ii

PALACE COURT, NON'. IQ
PASCOE AND WISE V. , ♦ MAGISTRATE OP
SIDOtPSEX. _ _

_ This carafe was tried on the a6th Oaober lift, and
the objea of the attion was, that the Defendant,
James Prater, Ety. a hiagifirate of the County of
Nikkilelex. refiiing at Helton, near Iloonilow, did
on the t6th day of Auguft lAN *frank and beat the
wife ofthe Piaintiff. _ _

The juttification pleaded was two fold. The firfl
plea was, than the Plaintiff, his wife, and a third per.
fon were hallooing Burdett for ever! huzza 1 in a
riotous manner, to his great annoyance. The le-
coed plea was, that be had aged as ha had done, in
his capacity of a Magiftrate, in endeavouring to Cop-
prefs a breach of the peace ; that he ought to be
flied as loth if hued at all, and that therefore the
cafe was defeftive, as by the astute of 24 Geo.
tap. 44. fee. Lit is required tad estafted. that when-
ever Any stake is to be brought again(! a Magifirate
for say thins done in his ntagifterial capacity, ne
month's notice of the intention to bring filch an ac-
tion malt be given, for the pupae of enabling him
to defend his coadoß, or tender loch amends to the
aggrieved party as may be judged proper. In this
cafe no tech notice had been given, and Mt. COWIT,
tai Coonfel for the Defendant, fubmitted to the Court
sad Jam that a verdict Gould go for the Defendant.
Tb. Jury however found a verdiit for the Plaintiff,
damages 51. and cogs.
Mr. liege on Friday lift moved for a rule to thew
Wife why a new trial Gould not be granted. and in
a very animated fpmth treated on the necelfity there
Was at all times of the Court's doing every thing in
their power to protest Magiftrates in the execution of
their duty. which, be contended. was the vale in the
Fermat *Ranee ; and farther, that the verdia wee al-
together again& evidence. A Rule to thew eaufe
wan granted, after a few words from the Learned
Judge on the duty and condua of Magiarates.
The Learned Judge having this day read over his

Mr. CLIFIOLD Sheered can't ;Irina the rule, and
argued at very confsderable length on the point of
jorifdiaitio of the Court, which, he Rated from the
*barter by which it is empowered to be held. was ex-
prefkly isftituted for the more fpeedy adminillration
ofjellice. aid to prevent delays. and that therefore
the Court Gould be held from day to day. This trial
was bad on the sfith day of Welber laft, and it was
a fortnight after that day before the motion for a
sew trial was made ; whereas, by the regular prac-
tice of the Conn, judgment might . entered up, and
execution taken out the day following that the ver
45* was given on. He therefore contended that
Pekoe being on the ayth of Otiober entitled to judg-
ment and execution, the application was too lan,
and he was improperly delayed. It was obferired,
idfo, that the Coon did not lit on the following Fri-
day, beensfe it (cited the convenience of the Learned
_lodge to adjourn oiler. This, Mr. Cliffoid (aid, was
wrong; fur if the private convenience of the Judge
was to be confulted on inch occalions, he might as
well go at the early part of the rummer on the tour
of England, Tills the Lakes of Wellmoreland, and re-
Ina ;rs until Michaelmas Term, as it might fait his
pleathre. Was the Plaintiff to be barred from his
execution for the damages awarded by the Jury on this
account 1 There were but two grounds on which the
Coons valid grant a new trial : one, tnifdireelion of
the Judge ; the other. milcondua of the jury, bygiv.
ins a verdict 'saint' evidence, or finding cleave &-
sieges. This cafe had not any of thole rewires, and
therefore be fiabtaitted that sinew trial &timid not be
granted.
Mr. Aces followed on the fame fide. He took an
enlarged view of the cafe, and quoted a great nom•
her of authorities, from which he argued ark, that
the Conn had no power to giant a new trial ;—and,
if they had, this was not the fort of cafe that called
for their interference. After purfuing this at length.
sind with great energy, he concluded with praying
the Court to difcharge the Rule.
The Coot took time to confider the cafes cited,
when Mr. Haar will be heard in reply.

COURT OF ICING'. BENCH. NOV. se.
The Court was occupied until after twelve o'clock
this day, in qualifying bail ; we do not remember
for many years pall fo great a number of perfuns qua-
lifying ; ssool. was the largelt debt in the MI. Af-
ter this the Court went into law arguments, which uc-

There were three objeaions taken on the part of
the Defendant.

quifition, whet interefl the public took in the pre-
miles, on which the award was made.

All which propofitiuns Mr. Scaactr molt ably ar•
gued againil.
Mr. GALILEE, on the part of the Defendant, con-
tended, that the only way in which the provilinns of
the Ad could have been complied with, was shelling
an annual rent, and not by giving a grofs fum as
compenfation. He then cited iiveral claufes in this
and other Ads, in order to thew, that it was not the
intention of the Legiflarure that Government flsould
take any tenure of this defcription for a pet petuity ;
but that it was meant by the Ad, that an annual
compenfatioa only Ibould be paid fur the land, fo
long as the ezigency of the (late might require the
ufe of it. He further contended. that the July
fhould have taken into their conflderatiot► the interelt
of the Ballots of Wincheller, from whom Dc. Bing-
ham held the ptemifes.
This being a cafe of very great importance, after
the Coots had heard Mr. SCARLET in reply, the fur-
ther confederation of the queUion was poliponed for
a future day.

This eilate had fence devolved to Lord Cawdor, and
Still the freedom was claimed by dirk companions of

in the nature of a quo warranto beinglifued, thought
proper to let judgment of outlet go by default.—
Henry Davis was one of the two againft whom no

that in the borough of Carmarthen parties have ran
extremely high, the paffions have been violently in-
flamed, and in confequence of this fpirit of fattion,
very improper perfons have been admitted to become
Bargees.
Mr. Grass now moved for an information of the
kind we have noticed againli this perfon; and be
produced an affidavit in fupport of his motion,
which Dated, that Henry Davis, to the heft of the
belief of the deponent, had never received the rents
of the freehold under which he claimed, but that
they had always, fine, his introdu&ion to the bo-

freehold, purchafed by his client to love a founda-
tion to the prefent application. He held an affidavit
in his hand, by which it appeared that his client,
who had been mate of a Weft-Indianian, was lately
left by his uncle, befides other property, a freehold
in the county of Middlefer, untncunibered, which
yielded him 571. per annum. The Learned Connfel
therefore, fubmitted, that as this was a queftion of
great importance; bad been, on a former occafion,
thought well entitled to confideration ; and had never
yet been determined, the Court would now think it
not unworthy their attention.

Lord Ettseacraouno—" It appears here that the
perfon applying for the writ of Habeas Corpus was
terving on board of °tip at the time he was impref-
fed ; and it does not teem that he has any difincli-
nation to continue at lea; but only that he would
prefer failing in a merchant (hip to (crying on board
a King.s chip. Had he been taken off his freehold
and impreffed—had he even quitted the lea without
the animal revel-kr:di, and then been impreffed—thefe
would have been Rrong cafes, and would hive called
(or our fcrious confideration ; but thefe are points
which we are not now called on to determine. The
qualm here teems rather to be, If, in the cafe of
a freehold, or any other independency, devolving on
a feaman he is from that circumft ante to be difcharg-
ed, and that it is the duty of !It's Court to interpole
its authority to that die .% I conies it does not Mike
