THE STATESMAN,

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.—(Tuts MunstNc.)
SEDUCTION.
DREW V. GREEN.
Mr. 11711.14 am, on the part of the defendant, moved for
a rule to spew cause why a third new trial should not be
granted. The seduction for which damages were ,ought,
was an alleged forcible violation of the plaintes daugh-
ter. The defendant lived next door to the plaintiff at
Winchester; and there was but one room in his house in
which the daughter swore the act was committed, in the'
middle of the day, between 11 and 12 o'clock, within 12
feet pf the High-street, and not more than 0 feet from
her mother's residence, to whom she said nothing ahoot
it, on her immediate return to her home. At the first teal
she fixed the time in the middle of December, and before
Christmas; but, on 31r. Williams obtaining a new trial,
by proving that the defendant had the Sheriffs offi..ers
in the house fur 20 days, at that period, and also by the
time of the birth of the child that it could not
have been then, she, at the second trial stated, she had
forgotten that circumstance at the first trial, and that it
must have beent in the middle of January and after
Christmas, that the violation took place.
Mr. WILLIAMS had now affidavits to prove that, from the
early part of January to the Sd of February, Mrs. Green
was In the shop every day; and besides that, he had the
solemn oath of the defendant, that he never bad any crinii•
nal kaow ledge whatever of the girl, though he was aware be
could not make use of that testimony. He could also prove
that the defendant had been seen in familiar conversation
with her snee the time sworn to, although, to account for
her not having told him of her Situation, she swore she
had never spoken to him since. Thu damages given
were 001.
The Court, after a short consultation, granted the rule.

SEAT OF WAR IN SPAIN.

Letters from Bayonne, dated the 15th inst., contain
the following statements relative to the situation of
Spain :
The French troops, on entering the Spanish territory,
took with them nine days' provisions. Each soldier car-
ried his own share, and the troops complained loudly of
this burden. Since this supply has been exhausted, they
are but badly off. The eorps before St. Sebastian is obliged
to live on pulse and roots, The Asia is cruising before
St. Sebastian. A French brigantine, loaded with pro-
visions, bas been carried into St. Sebastian. The pro-
visions were purchased, after which the vessel sailed with
prisoners. It was not expected that St. Sebastian would
hold out as it has done: 800,000 francs mere offered to
the Governor to induce him to surrender.
Conchy's division has approached Pampeluna, but has
not blockaded it, and there is as yet free ingress and egress.
The garrison consists of only 4,000 men. The local mi-
litia of that town, Vittoria, Tolosa, and othered places
threatened by the French, have marched to join Ballet-
teros, who has assembled a force of 115,000 men. His
head quarters are at Tarazona, on the skirts of the cele-
brated position of Moneayo. Coachy and Molitor intend
to attack him with three divisions. If their attack
should he unsuccessful, the result in the present state of
affairs will probably prove very disastrous for the French.
The French have not yet got sufficient besieging ar.
tillery for their operations. They are still bringing can.
non from Vincennes. Only fifty inhabitants have re
trained in Iron. Gilboa has recently furnished a volun-
teer corps of between 500 and 600 young men belonging
to the principal families. The bridge of Miranda has
been destroyed. The French begin already to feel, not
only at St. Sebastian, but throughout their whole line,
the deficiency of provisions. Flying columns of guer-
rillas move aboat-between the Pyrenees and the Ebro.—
The Pastor commands one party of 1,500, and displays
all his former activity. These parties hover rdund the
French, harass them, and leave them nothing to eat ex-
cept what they have in their immediate possession. Most
urgent orders have been sent to Bayonne to forward sup-
plies at any cost or risk.
Gen. Morillo commands the army of reserve at Galicia.
He takes a position between Leon and Astorga with from
15,000, to 20,000 men.

PARLIAMENTARY COMMENTARY.

Nothing but mere routine business occupied the
Itinses of Parliament last eight; if we except Mr.
ktroughant's recurrence to an extraordinary petition,
which he bad presented the evening before, and with.
drawn on account of the denial of the facts by Colonel
Croshie, an Irish Member, against whom fit was particu-
larly directed. The charge was, that Colonel Crosbie
bad received a bribe of£looo, from a Mr. Twiss, securing
the appointment of the latter to a place in the Irish Ex-
cise office, previously held by the Petitioner. Col. CrOsbie
denied that he had received any money on the occasion ;
tint admitted that Mr. Twiss bad been appointed through
his influence, and that he Was besides the son-in-law of
the u.srthy Colonel. Mr. Brougham last night, in sup-
port of the character of ltowan the p..titioner, read an
extract of a letter written by a Member of the House, in
Which it was stated,that "Rowan was an able and respect-
able wan ; and that whatever fooodation there might be
for the charge on which he was dismissed, it was prose-
cuted in a bate and treacherous; manner." having read
this, Mr. Brougham contendea that the House was bound
to ascertain the charge, as it affected the character of a
Member; and that, after a day or two of consideration,
4se should take further steps in the matter. These things
are mdch too common to excite any great degree of in-
terest; but the " workings of the system" are developed
by them more clearly, than by any other means. "'Pis
avarice all—ambition is no more!" Money is the uni-
versal Deity—
" And Judges job, and Bishops bite the town ;
" And mighty Dukes pack cards for half-a-crown !"

By German papers which have been received this
morning, we learn that Sir Henry Wellesley, Ambassa-
dor from England to the Court of Vienna, arrived at
Stutgard, on the June 15, and on the 17th set out again
to repair to his poet. An extract from the Augsburg
Garetto contains accounts from Constantinople about
the beginning of Slay. At that time the Janissaries bad
been induced to be quiet, by large destributions of money
among them, and to have even allowed 4 or 5 thousand
of their corps to go to Thessaly. Nothing new transpires
relating to the diplomatic negotiations with Russia.—
Lord Strangford, it is said, has disagreed with the Reis
Effendi, on account of the refusal he has met with to his
application* respecting the navigation of the Black Sea,
and has broken off all communications with him.—

The Austrian Internuncio was still in expec-
tation of the answer of the Court of Rue
ill to the letter of the Reis Effendi. The
Susabiais Mercury states, in an article from Tripolizza

)lay 4, •U that the Greek national assembly, after com-
plating its labours in peace and tranquillity, broke up
on the 30th of April. All the provincial governments

' wedded; and "The Spectator" has affirmed, that the word
"wife" is the most agreeable and delightful name in nature.
The sacred institution, then, of marriage, compasses the
_desideratum of our erjoyment ; teeming not only with hap-
piness on earth. but disposing the soul itself to harmonize
with bliss hereafter.
Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obli-

ration, it becomes en imperative duty, not only to regulate
the passicns, hut to cleanse the grosser nature from those
Impurities which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may
have entailed upon it. To the neglect of such attention are
attributable, many of those hapless instances, which while
they excite the commiseration of the beholder, should also
impress him with the fear of self-reproach.
Luxurious habits will effeminize the body—a residence in
the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially
does the premature infatuation of youth ton frequently com-
promise the natural dignity into a state of inanition, from
whence the aeonized sufferer more than doubts the chance of
niter. To all such, then, we address ourselves, offering
lope—energy—mosculsr strength—felicity: nor will ours

COLONIAL TRADE.

WASHINGTON, May, t.,
Sir,—!lacing reason to bslieve that an iminediate re-
moval of the alien duties on tonnage and imports note le-
vied on British vessels entering the ports of this country,
from his Majesty's possessions in the IVest Indies, is ge-
nerally expected, in pursuance of a late act of Congress
regulating the trade between certain of those colonies and
the United States. I embrace the earliest opportunity,
permitted by the state of the Correspondence on this sub-
ject with the American Government, to inform you, and 11
through you to inform his Majesty's Consuls at the out-
ports, that the act of Congress is considered to require
not only that the corresponding duties, in the largest'
sense as they affect the United States, should actually
cease to co-operate on the side of Great Britain, but also
that on goods lawfully imported into any of the open
colonial ports in any Ameriran vessel, no higher duty
should be charged than the like articles imported "from
elsewhere."
'rite term elsewhere being understood to comprehend
the British territories themselves, it is wholly out of my
power to make a declaration on this point satisfactory to
the American Government ; and, however to be-regretted'
it is therefore manifest that the prevailing expectation is
not likely to be realised under the present circumstances.
I am, &c.

Extract of a Letter from the British
Baltiaolated 28th April.
The Reports of the Preparations that are making at
Rio Janeiro, and the attempts that it is understood will
he mnde to force the Portuguese troops to embark for
Portugal. are such as to justify the fear that some des-
perate attack will be made by the Brazilian Admiral on
the squadron and shipping in this harbour, and, in con-
sequence, at my suggestion. precautionary measures have
been adopted by the masters of Rrilish vessels who have
changed their births, and taken up a new one nearer the
squadron under Sir Thomas Hardy ; and whose example
they are all ready to follow In ease of any danger presenting
itself.
P.B.—The Portuguese squadron is tinder weigh, and go-
ing out of harbour, in search of the Rio squadron. We
are looking with great anxiety for the result.
The Message of the President of Columbia (Santander)
was yesterday morning received, by way of Jamaica, That
part of it which relates to the foreign debt, and which, as we
stated in our last, was read in the Foreign Stock Exchange,
is as follows:
" One of the objects to which I must direct the particular
attention of the Congress Is our foreign debt. You, Foote-
men, are aware that the generosity of several foreigners,
during calamitous periods, reanimated the spirit of the
Colombians, and supplied them with the means of maintain-
ing gloriously the war of independence t whatever may have
been the views and speculations of oar auxiliaries, the Re-
public is their debtor, and we are bound to pay with fidelity.
The complicated situation in which this business is placed
at present by the proceedings of our agents in Euro?e, and
more so by the difficult circumstances with which the Repub-
lic was surrounded until last year, has presented the Go-
vernment with serious difficulties, in adopting a conciliatory
and decorous line of conduct, The Congress will be in-
formed of all the details, and witlbe convinced of the pru-
dence with which 1 have conducted an affair of so much dr
limy. I must, however, declare that our national honour
should rise above all other considerations, by sacrificing to
it this regularity and economy which, is other circumstances,
we should zealously and rigorously enforce. We are debt-
ors, end we must pay at any sacrifice. The executive power
expects that the Congress will pass a law by which it will be
enabled to provide for the payment of the interest and the
Itradeffililquidation of the princiyal.".

THEATRICALS.

The English Opera House has succeeded in obtain'n:
the only competent successor to the characters of po
Emery, who has appeared since the decease of that pee
sal favourite. Mr. RAYNER, the name of the actor we
allude to, was in treaty with the managers of the wintor
houses, we believe, at the beginning of their season; b.tt
at Covent Garden it was determined that a successor to
Mr. Kamm was not wanted, as his business might be
discharged by any underling; and at Drury Lane, v.-`ien
Mr. RAYNER did play once or twice, it WAS
therewas already so much talent in the Company,that it wo. hi
be a great pity to engage any more : —and to make sure
that they would have no Yorkshire man in the catalogue,
they engaged Mr. SHERWIN; a good rough performer
in the general harsh line, but as much like E3mtv as
STEPHEN KEMDLE was like his brother JOHN, We wish
the manager of the English Opera House would treat AS
with a new English Opera or two ; instead of the miser-
able awl trifling adaptations from the French stage, in
which be ha• delighted so much. First-rate vocal talent
can hardly be expected at a theatre which opens for ro
short a period; but by adapting the performance to the
powers of the performers, an agreeable treat might be
afforded:

BOURBON WAR.

The Stockiobbing press can hardly believe its eyes,
though it is confident enough in most cases; but, it can
hardly believe its eyes, now that the Bourbon army has
actually begun the war! The news of Saturday, shows,
that blood has been shed. We have only to say : may it
please Gov to make this blood tend to the de-
struction of bribery and corruption ! Let it tend to de-
stroy this infamy to the earth, and then we shall say, let
it flow ! Gatton and Old Sarum look sour at this inva-
sion of Spain. It must, then, be good for England in
the end. Curious, that the Ministers are to make their
first discharge in the illustrious House just on the very
day that we hear of the French having made the first dis-
charge in Spain ! We shall hear how cleverly Mr. Can-
ning the Shield-man, will make it out, that it is for the
honour of England that France should take her " out-
works."

Tqa CON6LUDING Mtuoatomt or Tea FINDER or •
aff6ooNota.—A respectable man, named Poole, was tried
upon an indictment, charging him with having a Ited
Walbank, a sergeant at mete, in the execution of his duty.
The debt for which the writ was issued arose out of the
defendaut's hiving hid the 'misfortune to find • 6001. note
the expenses of advertisements, &c. upon which amounted
to CI. 3s. itd.
The officer stated that hi arrested Mr. Poole in his count-
Itiphouse for the above sum on a writ issued from the Ex-
chequer ; that Mr. Poole offered to pay the sum, but wit-
ness refused to take it up, till the office was searehed, in or-
der to ascertain whether there were any other writs against 11
his prisoner, or any further costs on the execution; that Mr.
Poole refused to p with him. ordered him oat of the want-
lag-house. aid when witness took hold of him, struck him
a violent blow on the taco, and knocked his tooth out.
Jolla Whittle, the officer's assistant, confirmed this state-
ment.
Mr. Axounws, for the defence, observed, that the ex-
penses for which the writ was issued were the most proyok-
log that could be, and that the provocation was aggravated
by the fact thee some evil-minded persons had reported that
the action was for the 6001. note. It would, however, be
sees, that the defendant merely resisted the violent beha-
viour of the officer, to whom be bad offered a deposit of 101.
to ewer sU possible expenses.
Witiessea were called who "poke to this effect, and who
state{( that tbkofficer had used violence towards the defend-
ant before the latter resisted. Oaa of them added, that the
office& baclnet complained of the loss of a tooth until an
beak after the hesitates ended.
The"Jary returned a verdict of Guilty, and the Court un-
tamed Poole to pay a fine of 61. The defendant was then
dbeharged:'

CROPS AM) HARVEST.

On Thursday a field of oats were reaped. on Inverkith
Mains, near Edinburgh.
Friday barley harvest began On the Kinnenhoose-farm,
parish of Govan. possessed by Mr. Aikenhead, and like-
wise on a farm in the parish of Eastwood, belonging to
Sir John Maxwell of Pollock.. The barley crap is the hest
we have had these three years. It is expected that hat.
vest will be general about Glasgow by the 12th of Sep.
'ember, which is not late in comparison with the year
1817, when the harvest did nut begin until the 24th of that
month.

LlcicohN, MONDAT.—Tbe harvest is proceedingly slow
in this county where it has commenced ; hut in many parts,
not a handful of corn it yet cut. The weather continues
uncommonly wet; there has been three successive rainy
days, and no work has been done. Wheat must be injiir-
hsg—where it is ripe it will sprout; and where it is not
ripe, it is dying a black colour, and the straw is now as-
suming the appearance of mildew. Indeed the farmers
predict that should the weather continue humid, late wheats
will certainly be mildewed. The fields of white clover
which had been left for seed, are almost entirely spoiled.
Unless white clover-seed is ohra;ned from the Continent,
there will be a considerable deficiency in that article, and
the price for good seed must be high. The crop of North-
clay hops, grown in the neighbouring county, are like
those of Kent and other parts of the kingdum—not worth
gathering.
The Hamburg Corn Market was in a very stagnant state
on the 9th instant. The accounts of the harvest in all
directions were favourable. The crops of rye and oars
especially. were abundant. Nothing in fact, but a conti-
nuance of fine weather was wanting to secure the most
bounteous supply.

GHOST EXTRAORDIN say l—rA family at Wat Sop, in this
county, have, for the last five or six weeks past, been tor-
mented with what is considered a supernatural noise, like
onto the quacking of ducks ; every search has been made
after those truly wonderful visitants, but, at present, with.
out success; and, like the Cock-lane Ghost, it only follows
the good woman to the house, commencing its quacking at
three o'clock in the afternoon. and continuing till morning.
Many persons have been called in to hear the noise, and
when the loving couple, who are inhabitants of the haunted
dwelling are in bed, they describe the noise as proceeding
from one of the bed posts. This marvellous occurrence
causes funds of amusement for the gossips, and is the tenor
of the credulous and superstitious of the village ; but many
of the more sober wish to have the pleasure of roasting
these quacking visitants of the haunted mansion.—(Not-
tiagham Review.)

Tierdeceased frequently cried out " sunnier." He was
taken away at length, and languished until the Tnesdav
following. The outrage happened on the Sunday preeed-
ince. The deceased had struck a boy, the companion of the
prisoners, first.
aka A Phy • 'an and Surgeon at Bury, Dr."Oreenhouse,
proved lb to of the body of the deceased. He found
the major of the intestines, and the lower part of the
body conch inflamed. There was' a considerable effusion

as evidence—it was too learned.
The general appearance of the intestine, with acute in-
flammation, were sulligient count for" death ; but he
could not saywhethff they from natural causes or
external contusion.
In answer to a question fr Mr. Justice. BATLEY, the
witness said, that had lie been told that the deceased, who
died on Tuesday, hid been severely kicked on the body the
tliaotlay preceding, he should not have the least doubt that
thr violent -milvtion of ? attack and the

se •intent termimstion of the inflammatory
death were the effect of the Ittrits.

The prisoner Rothwell being called on for his defence,
itated, that the deceased was quarrelling with another per-
. son ; that he desired him not, as the man was drunk: TM!.
deceased then struck the prisoner, and he retaliated in his
own defence.
• The other prisoner said that he also was first struck ; that
lie only pushed the deceased sideways. and that the prisoner

TILE KING.

. .
His Majesty still remains at his cottage in a sort of in:
coArnilo, admitting to' his circle the select and chosen few ,
who have long basked in the sunshine of Royal favour.
For the present it is determined, that on the Ist of Sep-
tember, the King shall take possession of his apartments in
Windsor Palace, which are now quite ready to receive the
Royal Party, although the accommodations there are ex-
ceedingly limited; for it is found impossible, and, perhaps,
it would he unjust to dispossess many of the families, who
have ocenoieil apartments in the Castle for a great many
years. The fleet at Portsmouth, which was equipped for
the express purpose of attending the King on his aquatic
excursion, has not yet been dismantled, so that we doubt if
the sea cruise be entirely given up. Rumour states that
the spot on his Majesty's head, from which a small protu-
berance was so skilfully removed about a year ago, indicates
the return of a similar inconvenience, hut of so slight a
nature, that his Majesty does not deem a surgical operation
again necessary. The King's bodily health has been very
good ever since he left tone, and it is greatly improved by
the excursions he is pleased to mike 'liana the private
drives of the Great Park whenever the weather will permit.
Hit. Majesty's love for privacy, so contrary to the habits
of his early life, has induced the order fur the exclusion of
all strangers from the Terrace whilst be remains at the
Castle to be strictly enforced.—(Morning Chronicle.)
On Monday the Duke of Dorset left town for Win.;sor,
in order to Inspect and arrange the Royal stables and
apartments thereunto belonging, for the ifllMPtilee recep-
tion of his Majesty's stud and livery. William Parker,
Esq. clerk of his Majesty's stables, is gone down to assist
his Grace in the arrantements.

BLOCKADE OP SAINT SEBASTIAN.

AUGUST 10.—Yesterday arrived an emissary of General
Ballasteros, hanging orders to the Governor to submit and
acknowledge the Regency of Madrid. Owing to the gar-
rison firing at that moment he could not gain entrance.
The same orders have been sent to the Governor of Pam-
peluna.
Gamma, Aug. 11.—The garrison of San Fernando de
Figueras attempted a sortie on the 9th. Tao columns of
about eight or nine hundred men came out of Pie fort, but
were obliged to take shelter under the walls, where they
fired on our troops with all their_ Artillery, which fortu-
nately did us but little injury, although 200 cannon balls
were fired on us. The Constitutionalists must have lost a
great number of men. Our loss was only five men
wounded.
