We have received the Paris and Brufrels Journals
to the 14th intl. inclufive. The Moniteur of the 13th
contains his M.ll f. ST y's Declaration, with voluminous
notes, iiitcnded as an anfwer to it. Our Readers may
form folne iTikion of the labour bellowed on this
comment, %slim we inform them that it occupies a
fupplement of three (beets. From this detailed and
anxious defence of the Fissr Consul., it is obvicus
that the French Government feels the nccellity of
vindicatioi: ; but the nature of moral evidence mull
be changed, before mere verbiage can be made to
pars for demonflration.
The Mosileur repeats the news of our troops having
carried the plague with them from Egypt to Malta.
We ftrongly fofpeift that this intelligence has no other
foundation than the defire of the Confular Govern-
ment, to torture the relations of our brave foldiers.
Another article in the Alfoxinsr dcferveb notice : it
is the following letter from St. Peterfburgh refpefting
the Order of St. John of Jerufalem
" PITILISISUROH, Mar 17.—The Knights of the
Order of St. John of lent...lcm, in this City, held a
Chapter lately, with the content of the Eorsitot.—
They have deputed the Commander Mon rc LAIL I, and
Coast Flamm, to compliment the Grand Maher in
the name of the Grand Priory of Ruffin t aad to re-
flect to him that part of the archives of the order
which was in this City. They are inarofted to pro-
ceed to Mane or Malta, or wherever the Grand
Mager is to be found."—llhaiinis.

Oa the above letter we may remark, that filch a
proceeding, and nadir fuck eiremmkances as the
prefent, teems to indicate views incompatible with
the well-founded claims of this canary, and looks
like an intinfation on the part of Alexander, that be
will rapport the eankruition put upon the Treaty of
Arnica, by the Cunt Cousin.. It is pails's, how-
ever, that matters may take a different turn--unlefs
Raffia has refolved to adopt the French way of ma-
naging a negotiation ; for we have no doubt that the
offered mediation of Raffia has been ailed upon.—
Indeed a Meffenger arrived yekerday afiernnoa from
Paris, with difpatches for the Ruffian Ambarador
here, which are believed to have related to this fub-
jea. An immediate communication was made by
the Ruffian Ambagador to Lord Hawassausr. A
few days will, probably, throw Tome light upon this
bufinefs—at prefent all is mere conjeOure. We would,
however, caution our Readers, not to be too lin-
guine in their hopes of feeing a fpeedy termination
put to the war; for the views of Trance remain un-'
changed, and what thefe are we may gather from
the licence given to the Journalias, to avow its in-
tentions of fubjugating this country—Witnefs the
remark relpeaing our Almanacs, Court Calendars,

coons place at no very Maar period l We wonder
they forgot another Calendar, yclept " The Newgate."

Yeaerday the judges met is Lord ELLivtio
VC it's room, at Weliminitcr Hall, and choie their

Mr. Gaeltow opened the pleadings ; from which it
appeared this was an Indiarnent againft the two De-
fendants, Benjamin Phillips and Richard ithipman,
for confpiring to charge Captain BorwOrth, of the
Adriana merchantman. with the murder of William
Darlington, a young man who was on board. There
were feveral others of the crew of this*fhip who were
included in this indi6mcnt, but they had made their
cfcape, and had not yet been found.
It appeared from Mr. CAPAOW'S opening. of this
cafe, that Captain Borwortli, early in die year 1802,
went on a voyage from Liver pool to Demarara; the
Defendants, and feveral others of the crew, when they
arrived there, were in a date of mutiny : they broke
open the non-room, and Role a quantity of rum, for
which the Captain imprifoned them for 54 days, but
afterwards he took them on board again, inafmuch as
be wanted their Cervices. During the time they were
there they loft four of the crew, and among the'reft
William Darlington, of a fever, which is there fo fatal
to European conilitutions. They at laR arrived at
Liverpool ; when the Defendants applied to the Cap.
tain for their wages, he told them to go to the own-
ers: at we fame time confidering their conduit, he
advifed the owners not to pay them fur the time they
had been in pritm, in confequence of their crimes,
and when the (hip had no benefit from their fervices.
They infra ted an Attorney to bring an aftion
againit the Captain. for that pan of their wages which
he had advifed the owners not to pay. There was
not a word raid all this time about any murder; but
afterwards thefe men were wicked and hardened
enough, without the tmalleft foundation upon earth,
to charge their Captain with the murder of William
Darlington. They made an application for that pur-
pnfe to the Admiralty, when they were deGred to go
before a Magidr.,te, and to reduce their charge into
writing, sv'eich was done before Mr. Connant : the
conlequence was, Captain BorwOrth was torn from
his wife and family at Liverpool, brought up to Lou•
don, imprifoned in Newgate, and fo conscious was
be of his own innocence, that, even in the abfenee of
a great number of his witnefes, who could have
proved his innocence beyond all controverfy, he chola
to take his trial for murder, and was acquitted on the
evidence of the &II witnefs for the profecotion. by a
perfon of the name of Reyl, who was included in the
preterit indiftment, but who had abfeonded.
A copy of the indidasent was granted to the Cap-
tain, who inftituted this profecntion, for a confpiracy.
From his examination it appeared, that William
Darlington had been (eked with a fever on the 4th
of April, t 8o:' and that be died of that fever about
the gth of the fame month; that he never offered
the leall violence to this young man in his life; that
he condufted himklf to him, when he was ill. with
as much kindnefs and tendernefs as if he had been
his own fon ; that be bad the belt medical affiftence
the Wand fupplied : he was attended by Dr. Siam-
fon. The whole charge againft him was a complete
fabrication from beginning to end.
This evidence was confirmed in the firongeft man-
ner by Mr. Wood, the Chief Mate: he put a clean
Thin on W. Darlington the night before he died, and
there were no marks of violence about his perfon.
This evidence was confirmed by that of feveral
other witnefes.
The Defendants retained no Counfcl ;—but Mr.
Esse las' with his ufual humanity, crofs.examined the
witnefes for them.

The Learned Connie] obferved, that the fcene
that had been exhibited that morning was one of
the molt extraordinary that had ever occurred in
the annals of Courts of Janice. It was not an un-
tonal thing to fee perjuries deteded r—bnt to fee a
confpiracy of this nature fo detailed, and fo circum.
flannelly hatched at a diflance, perfevered and pen ft-
ed in, and afted upon, without aze 'Mallen evidence
to rapport it, was what he had no recollettion ever
to have met with in the cootie of Iris profeffional life.
If there was any evidence, he Ihould certainly have
trade fome obfcrvations on this cafe ; but there being
no evidence whatever to lay before the Jury for their
confideration, he could not think himfef juflified in
taking up the time of the Court. He was forry it
was not in Isis power to allift them, there being unfor-
tunately no evidence ; and therefore it would be in.
decent in him to take up the time of the Court. If
there was any circumflance favourable to the Defen-
dants, it weuld not efcape his Lordthip's obfervation.
Dud ELLsnaosouc N was in the aft of lamming op
to the jurvnwhin they told hi A they were pettedly
fati.fied of the inilt of the Defendants.
His Lordfhipfaid. this was a molt enormous crime;
rind the Court would be anxious to pima)) all perfons
who were found guilty of it, whether in the fituation
of Captains or of Seamen. This bufinefs, in conic-
quenee of Mr. Erfitioe's lending his valuable offal
tante. nesd been examined to the bottom. The juf-
tice of this country was perfectly as even handed to
the Sailors as to the Captains; and if any cruelty or
brutality had been committed by the Captain, the
Court would have been extremely anxious to have
hal him punithed. And for the fame reafon, they
were uncial the ttrongell obligation to vindicate him
frotn this falfe imputation t—for it appeared on the
4Wklence. this was a mei foul and falfe charge.
.lie Jury found the Defendants both Guilty.

This was an iodiament againa one of the Dclen.
dents, for wilful and corrupt perjury. in what be had

had brought forward this indiament (which was tried
by another Jury) to give the Court an opportunity,

by tranfporting hinr, which the Court had note power
to do by the lall indidment. The Captain and two
