The objea of it is raid to be Charges of grofs
Peculation, fuppofed to be committed in rai.‘ng of
Levies for General Service, in Ireland.
Two Candidates have already declared them-
(elves for the civic gown, vacant by the death of
Mr. Riney, late Alderman of Celtic Saynaril
Ward. Mr. Smrrn, a Sugar.baker, who is fup-
p.urted by the Common Council of the Ward. and
Mr. ALIZANDIR, the prefent Sheriff.

Yefterday morning the BAT of London gave
away at his houfe in St. James aquare. two cart-
loads of potatoes to the poor inhabitants. of the
parifh of St. James's.

A very revere accident happened a few days lime
to Captain Was'. of the Nast'. He was fencing
with his Fencing Mager, when the latter making a
ilrong lounge, the foil broke through the maik,
and breaking, the fplinter piece entered his mouth,
and penetrated his throat, lacerating his neck in a
very dreadful manner. He has been delirious ever
fince.and it is feared the accident may produce the
'Loa ferious confeqncnccs.

TRI,ILS FOR HIGH TREASON.

S:ECIAL COMMIS.SION.
NEW SESSIONS-HOUSE, IN THE BORMIGH.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1803.

The Court returned its fitting at nine o'clock
this morning, and the Prifoners were brought up
and put to the Bar, viz :
John Francis John Doyle
John Wood James Sedgwlck Wrattan
Thomas Phillips William Lander
Thomas Broughton Ar. Graham
Thomas Ncwman Samuel Smith, and
amid Tyndale John M•Namara

After fifteen challenges by the Crown, and
thirty-one by the Prifoners, the following Jury
was (worn, viz :
GEORGE EVANS, StreathaM
JOHN WARING, Ba.ne,
3 RICHAKO SOOTHE?, Bann-Ica
4 ReaLRl I.,VNTON, Burton
5 Jour( I'iioe, Mortlake

8 JOHN TRITTON, WalldfWOrth
9 DANIEL LANGTON, Ditto
10 JOHN ARNOLD, Brtlerile/
11 juitt4 WINTLI, Leatherhead.
12 BARTHOLOMEW El V, Ditto
The Indietment recited the fame charges as on
the trial of Colonel Defpard.
Mr. Armor? opened the Wings on the part of
the Crown, and enumerated the counts, and de-
fcribed the overt acts.
The SOLICITOR GENERAL Rated the cafe in a
brief and mafterly manner ; giving a fhort outhne
of the facts, to which Evidence was defignecl to be
brought forward, and the nature of the overt :Leis
conftituting the treafon of the prifoners, and he
concluded with obferving to the Jury, that if they
fhould have any doubts relative to the degrees of
guilt in the accufed, it would be their duty to
make a diftinition ; and he was confident, that in
doing fo, they would aft confonant tojuftice, and
the dictates of their own confciences.

The evidence was then entered into, which, by
the prohibition of the Court, we cannot detail in
this Qage of the bufinefL
With a laudable delicacy, and regard to moral
appearance, it is thought that Wm. Francis will
not be brought forward in the profecution of his
Brother.

The Prifoners did not appear agitated ; and,
one excepted, their drefs accorded with the mean-
nefs of their condition in life.

LIEUT. COL. ELLIOTT.

We are happy to fay, that the paragraph, co-
pied from a Morning Paper, which [hied that the
above Gentleman was dead, is altogether untrue,
as will appear by the following good-natured Card
from the Colonel himfelf:—
a lima, Feb. 7,11103.
" Lieut. Col. ELL:or?, of the King's Dragoon
Guards, will thank the Editor of the STAR to
bring him to life again, as he finds by the Satur-
day's Paper that be died of a paralytic aroke."

The Empalme of Russia has given orders for
equipping two wire!' to fail in a few weeks on a
voyage of difcovery. The objea of this voyage is
particularly to make difcoveries on the Northern
coals of Afia and America.

We underhand that Colonel Defpard continues
Hill to be as unaffelted with his fituation as during
his trial. His indifference teems to have grown
with the determination of his fate : his fpirits are
become lighter ; and Mr. Ives, the Goaler, has
very properly adopted the precaution of placing a
perfon in the room along with him, apprehenfive
that he might attempt to avoid fome portion of
imagined ignominy, though he cannot fly from
the guilt, which the judgment of his Country has
confirmed upon him.
The following are the exalt particulars of the
burning down the plaphoufe at Daventry on Fri-
day la& The play that evening was to be The
Heir at Law (befpoke, and a full houfe expeeted).
Providentially none of the performers were come
I to drefs, nor any of the audience afrembkd.—
About five o'clock, Mr. RICHARDS, the Manager,
went into the Ladies' dreffing-room, previous to
opening the doors, and found it in flames, a coal
having dropped upon the mat, and communicated
to the canvas which lined the walls of the building,
which being a thatched barn, the whole was loon
in a conflagration; and, before any aftance could
be given, it was entirely confumed, together with
the fcenery, dreffes, &c. of Come confislerable value,
the property of Mr. WATSON. The building and
the carpenter's property who erclted the 'nage,
boxes, &c. were infured, and alfo the theatrical
apparatus; but it is imagined not to the value
dellroyed. -

weather the hair appears lets, the turbans are clofer
than ordinary, and are an made of velvet. Fled'.
