played as a middle person between the Plaintiff and
the Defendant. The latter gave him a copy of a
[French assignat, which was produced in Court, and
that assignat he delivered to the former to direct him
in making his plates. The Plaintiff at first refused
to execute the work ; but LUKYN said it was for the
Duke of YORK'S army, and that it was with the
knowledge and approbation of the Secretary of State.
This was confirmed by Colonel S agent to the
Duke of Yonst. Witness believed the plates were
very well done.' LUKYN had immense quantities of
these forged assignals printed otf, and went abroad 1
to sell them. Oa cross-extipination, he said the
Plaintiff certainly refuses to make these plates
until he was told the Government of this country
thought it a good measure. Lord Kenxox remarked,
if Plaintiff had forged these plates fOr the purpose of
fraud, he was of opinion it ought not to have been
made the foundation of an action ; but Mr. CASLON
sworeto the contrary. If the Plaintiff, in obedience
to the higher powers, had made these plates for
the Duke of Yona's army, that circumstance alter-
ed the case. There were certain laws not to be
transgressed by one nation, even when at War with
another, such as abstaining from poisoned arms, giv-
ing quarter, &c. But his Lordship mid he did not
know it was contrary to 'the law of nations, for a
country to distress its enemy iii its finances--Ver-
dict for the Plaintiff. Comparing the abo've'
facts with what we have already stated respecting
the Licence Trade now carrying on in this country,
under the immediate sanctiowor Ministers, we shall be
enabled to form a pretty &meet estimate of the morals
of the pious Mr. PERCEYAL, and be able to contrast the
conduct and principles of, those who were in power in
the year 1795. with those of 1812. It is an incon-
trovertible maxim, that, in the same proportion as the
principles of a Government become corrupt, the peo-
,pte lose all respect for Inca ulity. The Defendant,
LOAYN, in the above case was emi,loy ed by
the 44 higher powers" to commit io immoral act.
This led him to employ atiot r to effect the
forgery. He was thus not only debased by the
transaction himself, bat he was guilty in being the
cause of implicating others. He did not, however,
stop here; he attempted to defraud the Plaintiff of
the stipulated consideration for the part which he
`induced hint to take ,in the business. BENJAMIN.
WALSU'S offence was nothing compared to such enor-
mity, or to the fraud and perjury consequent on our,
present licence system.

Letters from Liverpool, this morning, mention,
that all American vessels there are stopped sailing
until further erriVOS from America.

Five Dublin ita five IcaterfOrd Mails arrived this
morning. 'The Irish rapers are filled with details of
the proceedings of the Catholic Meetings throughout
the kingdom, lamest every. .county is which has
passed Resolution's similar. to those entered into at
Dublin. "The Minister of the PRINCE REGENT," says
the Djblbs Evening Post," will soon be convinced,

Identify their feelings with the conduct of the Catho-
lic Board. 'flanks to die sagacity of the Law Of-
ficers of the 6cm% .and to the Imperioul intempe-
rance of the LORD LIEUTENANT'S Secretary (which
prevented a delegated body from acting, in a diguified,
though unostentatioits manner,on behalf of the People),
at last a mode has been adopted, which shows that the
'F4niversal' Irish Nation it animattd with one feeling
on the subject. No creature of the Minister's—
no bigoted—no corrupt placeman or pensioner, will
dare to say, that the Petition of the Catholics
(supported as they are try the Protestants, who are
interested by their property in the peace of the
country) is only tbe.voice of a faction, and not the
awful claim of a whole population for a matter of
strict right. The time approaches—a general Elec-
tion is at hand—and the opportunity is favourable of
giving one decisive proof, out of the many which
they could give, of the Gigantic Power of the geo-
ple !!!"

In reflecting on the torrent that threatens to e'er-
whetm the world in its progress, the mind is naturally
filled with astonishment at the small portiop of prac-
tical wisdom which the Princes and Statesmen of
Europe seem to have derived from the awful etents
of the French Revolution. Corrupt Ministers, and
a bad Government, laid all the ancient honours of ,
the French Monarchy prostrate in the dust ; yet the A convoy is appointed to sail from Leith Roads
