Mr. BANKESPS Bill for perpetuating the Act against
granting Places in Reversion was carried last night
without a division !

In no less than three divisions on the appointment
of the Committee of Finance, Ministers were last
night in minorities.
The Papers relating to Walcheren were last night
laid before Parliament, but only part of them have
been yet printed and delivered to the Members. We
have inserted as large a portion of them as our limits
would allow, and we shall continue our extracts from
time to time, till our Readers are put in possession of
all the leading facts connected with this important
enquiry.

Paris papers to the 23d and Dutch to the 27th uh.
arrived last night, from which we have given, in our
front page, every thing worthy of notice.

Ad vices from Tarragona of the sth ult. state that,
like the people of Gallicia, the Catalonians have re-
solved to divide the province into districts, and that
each district shall chuse a representative to assist at
the General Assembly to be convened for the purpose
of raising men and money to contribute to the national
defence.

The private letters from Holland state that King
Louis had not arrived. In one of them it is added,
66 we can have no connection with your side—we are
ail French." No explanation is given : the remark,
however, can only be applicable to the annexation of
the whole of Holland to France.

It appears also by these letters that the French are
confiscating the cargoes of American vessels in every
port to which their k.fluence extends.

Yesterday about half past twelve o'clock, his MA-
JESTY arrived at the Queen's Palace from Windsor ;
where he was received by the Dukes of YORK, KENT,
CUMBERLAND and CAMBRIDGE. Soon after two o'clock

The foll Owing had the honour of being presented
to his MAJESTY :
Lieutenant-Colonel Maury, upon his promotion 'o a Com-
pany in the lit Regiment of Foot Guards.
Sir FREDERICK BAKER, upon coming to his title.

The Rev. JoaN GARNITT, Chaplain in Ordinary to his Ma-
jesty. upon his promotion to the Deanry of Exeter.
Captain N. Nrwsuisr, R. N. upon his return from Basque-
roads.

His MAJESTY gave audiences to Mr. PERCEVAL,
the rest of the Cabinet Ministers present, and Sir
DAVID DUNDAS.

- His MAJESTY held a Privy Council, at which he
pricked for the Sheriffs for the year ensuing.
About six o'clock the KING set off upon his return
to Windsor.

Yesterday, a Messenger came to Town from Wind-
sor, with a letter for Sir HENRY HALPORD, (late
Dr. VAUGHAN), requiring his attendance at Windsor
upon the Princess Amnia, with all possible speed.
In the List of Minority, given in the STAR of 29th
ult. for T. BOWYER, read H. BOWYER.

EssEx Et.acrloN.—The Election of a Member to
serve in Parliament for this County, in the room of ,
Joint BULLOCK, Esq. deceased, commenced yesterday. I
At the close of the first day's poll, the numbers de-
clared by the Sheriff were—
Joax ARCHER HOUBLON, Esq. - • 663
MONTAGU BVIGOYNI, Esq. 191
Majority in favour of Mt. HOUBLON
It is supposed the poll will be kept open several
days.

His Majesty's ship Swirrsvar, of 74 guns, Vice-
Admiral Sir J. B. WARREN, arrived at Bermuda 15th
December, after five days passage from Halifax.
Nearly five hundred horses have embarked at Ports-
mouth within these few days, and will sail immedi-
ately to Portugal to remount the 3d Dragoon Guards,
4th Dragoons, and the Ist Regiment of light cavalry
of the King's German Legion.
Yesterday Major-General Wurrruens inspected the
Bth Royal Veteran Battalion, and the Inverness Mi-
litia, at Fort Cumberland, Portsmouth.
The Governor of Portsmouth, General Fox, in-
tends to make the Government House his summer
residence. Major ASIIURST'S and Captain PAGET'S
family* will have to remove immediately, that the
workmen may begin repairing and making it fit for
the reception of his Excellency and family.
Detachments of the different battalions of the
King's German Legion, serving in Portugal, have
recently embarked at Portsmouth to join their respec-
tive regiments.

The statement which has appeared hi some of the
Papers, that the Officers of the two battalions engaged
in she unfortunate contest near Seringapatam, in Au-
gust last, were killed, is not true :—Captain Hum
bLACKINTOSH of the Bth Native Infantry, waswounded
and taken : I.ieut. BEST, from an epileptic fit, died
soon after he arrived at Seringapatam ; but every
other European Officer of the detachment, viz. 14 of
the Bth, and 6 of the 15th Regiment, arrived in safety
in the fort of Seringapatam.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN. t 9.
ATTORNIES.

In a case where an Attorney had issued out process
whilst he himself was a prisoner confined in Nesvgate,
the Court made the rule absolute for striking him off
from the list of the Attornies of this Court, pursuant
to the statute in that case made and provided.
In another case, Mr. HULLOCK moved for a rule,
calling upon an Attorney to shew cause why he should
not return the sum of 854, together with a promis-
sory note for sE34, which he withheld. The circumt
stances of the case were as follow :—The person for
whom the application was made, had owed a person
£34, for which he gave the promissory note in ques-
tion ; but having paid it by cash and goods at dif.
ferent times, he neglected to take it up. About the
middle of October last, however, he found himself
arrested by another person for the same note, and
which person waved oat to be the Attorney against
whom this application was made ; whereupon he ac.
companied the Officer to his house, where he ac-
quainted him that he had paid the bill long before to
the person to whom he had given it ; but the Attorney
answered, that he had the bill given to him in pay.
ment of a debt from that person, and that he must
immediately discharge it, or go to prison. The poor
man, who had no other property but a waggon and
four horses, by which, as a carrier, he supported a
large family, rather than go to.prison immediately,
executed a deed of sale of the waggon and horses to
the Attorney, who forthwith took them •, and having
set a valuation upon them at £54, paid himself C3l,
the amount of the bill, and £l5 costs, telling the mi.
fortunate man that thane was, only £5 coming to
him ; but even that he has not thought tit to give
him, though he at this instant is in possession, and
uses the waggon and horses.—Rule granted.
JAN. 31.-'Mr. ATTORIM-GENERAL moved for a
rule to shew cause why a Criminal Information should
not be filed against six persons, named Taylor,
M'Gregor, Gill, Gough, Evans, and another, said
to be in the Agency employment, or service of Earl
Grosvelicii, for assembling in a riotous manner, along
with nearly 300 others, on two several days specified,
on which, among other amusements, for the benefit
of a Miss Hallywell,. there was to be sung, in the
Theatre of Chester, a song, entitled, 4' The glorious
6th of May." On the latter occasion, the Affidavits
stated, that the Mayor, to prevent disturbance, or.
dered the Theatre to be shut ; but, that the rioters
came into town in three bOdies, headed by their respec-
tive chiefs, on horseback ; went to the Theatre ;
broke open the door ; and rushing in, tore up some
of the seats, and destroyed the side scenes. Their
motto was, el Eaton expects every man to do his
duty ;" the rioters repeatedly expressed their deter-
mination to do so ; and when the Magistrates threat-
ened to read the Riot Act, they dared them to do it.
—The Affidavits also sated, that these rioters were
either workmen at Eaton, or employed by
the misjudging Agents of Earl Grosvenor.
Rule to shew Cause granted, some of

HODSON V. CERTAIN PRINTERS.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL moved for a rule to stop
proceedings in this cause. The plaintiff was principal
of Brazen Nose College. A paper had been printed
in a Magazine, which contained allegations relative to
a letter, which the plaintiff was supposed to have
detained in breach of faith, and thereby promoted
his own election. The allegations were admitted to
be libelous ; but the Printers were ready to acknow.
ledge that they were unfounded, and that they had been
deceived by misinformation :. they were now come to
offer their fullest apology.
Lord ELLENBOP.OUGH conceived, that as the case
was of a very serious nature, involving the reputation
of a man connected with that most important duty,
public education, the Court could not, consistently
with its character and gravity, stop in the proceedings
to which it had already given its sanction.

•
A few days ago a woodcock flew up, the lawn be•
fore Longpari sh-house, in Hampshire.and was shot from
a window by Capt. HAWKER, who was there, tiaw.ll,
confined to his room : what makes the circumstance
more remarkable is, that it happened in a country
where it is rare to kill three of these birds in a season;
and that a friend of his had laid a bet that he world
be well enough to shoot a cock b: fore the winter ssas
over.
The man found drowned in the river Tyne on she
sth instant, has been ascertained to be William Kel'
-lay, of Stonehaven, near Aberdeen.
