life, with the most ardent and unmixed wishes for the
welfare of the community with which I have for so
many years been connected by an honourable tie, and
with thanks to you, Gentlemen, for the assistance
*hick many of you have often afforded me in the
• discharge of duties which are necessary indeed and
sacred—but which to a single Judge, in a recent
Court, and small society, are peculiarly arduous, in-
vidious, and painful. Two cases niprA parlicularly
worthy of notice occurred durinotheseSessions. One
was that of a British soldier indicted for a murder
committed within the Portuguese territories at Goa,
and found guilty. The prisoner was sehti np from
Goa to be tried here under the provisions'of the 26
G. 111. c. 57. sec. 29. which make all British subjects
amenable to Courts of Oyer and Terminer and Gaol
Delivery, and Courts of General or Quarter Sessions
of the Peace in any of the British settlements in
India, for all crimes, &c. committed in any country
beyond the Cape of Good Hope to the Streights of
Magellan within the limits of the Company's trade.
A doubt having been suggested as to the jurisdiction
of the Court, on the ground that the statute alluded '
to was repealed by the 33 Geo. 111. c. 52. sec. 67. !
the Honourable the Recorder, out of respect to the I
person 'with whom that doubt originated, directed
the question to be argued on a motion in arrest of
judgment. We hope to be able to give the luminous I
judgment of the Recorder iu favour of the jurisdic-
tion in our next publication. Sentence of death was
passed on this man, and he is to be executed this
(lay at the gallows on the Esplanade. The other
Icase was that of an Armenian lady, indicted for at-
temptig to poison her husband's mother. The trial I
bleed from ten in the morning till ten at night. The
Jury, after retiring for a short time, brought in a
special verdict, which the Court having considered as
.equivalent to a verdict of Not Guilty, directed to be
recorded as such. Of this trial we hope, also, to
give some account in osur next. On Monday, the
trial of two soldierrof the fifty-sixth regiment took
up the attention of the Court nearly the whole day.
Decency forbids us to mention any farther particu-
lars than that the two prisoners having been found
guilty, were sentenced, the principal offender to be
publicly whipped, and pillored twice during his im-
prisonment, and to be kept to hard labour in gaol
for seven years, and the other prisoner to be trans-
ported for life to New South Wales.
At the close of the Sessions the Foreman of the
Grand Jury delivered an address to Sir James from
that body, expressing their regret at the dissolution
of the connection between them and him, and re-
questing that the Learned Judge would sit for his
portrait,' which they were desirous of placing in the
hall where he had so long presided with such distill.
guished ability. Sir James In his answer, expressed
his acknowledgments, and replied, that as soon as
he reached Great Britain he would take measures for
complying with their desire.

FROM the numerous Complaints that have been
wade. and lest a lireindice might arise is consequence of
the circulatinnof n false representation, Samuel Davies, Pro-
prietor of NI OR It IS'S PATENT F 4%11E1' MANGLE, feels
himself imperiously called upm to announce to the Public in
general, stilt he never had the smallest connection with another
house, too of the same street ; nor are bis Mangles by any means
made en their plan. On the contrary, he has the pleasure to
add, that wherever his have been ordered, they have given uni-
versal satisfaction; and the increasing demand farm all parts,
bath of town and country, is the strongest proof of the superior
excellence of this Invention over every thing of the kind yet at-
tempted. Conscious of this, be most respectfully solicits the at-
tention of the Public so These valuable and Inuch.ndmired Ma-
chines. being fully convinced, that from their compact construc-
tion, the pet feet ease with which they are worked, and the com-
plete manner in which they perform, they will be severally

LONDON:
WEDNESDAY, APIIIL 1,

A Morning Paper states, that 64 Mr. firAirgna,
the American Agent at Plymouth, has written to an
American house in town, to complain of an outrage
which he states to have been committed on an Ameri-
can vessel by one of eur Naval Commanders. The
facts of -she case are said to be these:—The Hotspur
American vessel, is said to have been intercepted by
his Majesty's ship Andromache, on her way from
America to Bourdealx, the Captain having first de-
tained ber, and since brought her into Plymouth ;
but the greatest part of the grievance, is stated to he,
that the Hotspur has;ng on board dispatches from
the American Goverment, addressed to the new
American er at Paris,Jort. 13 taLow. the
Captain of the Andromache had opened alel perused
them; and op being applied to for the restitution of
them, hei ha,; thought it his duty to refuse compliance
with the request."

The Captain of the Hotspur, whose name is
has since arrived in town, :,nd confirms
the above statement respecting the seizure and break-
ing open of the dispatches. lie was last at Balti-
more, and brought American Papers with to the
t4th February, but tbese he left by mistake at Ply-
mouth. When he sailed, the general opinion was,
that a war was likely to take place between this
country and the United States. The Constitution
frigate arrived at. Norfolk -three days before the Hot-
spur sailed.

The Bank.note system is at last become so com-
plex, from the great number of notes in circulation,
and the dexterity with which they are imitated, that I
the Clerks at the Bank are unable to say whether
those passing through their hands are genuine or
.forged. This alarming fact is established by the fol-
lowing statement, which is given in a Morning
Paper, upon the most 44 indisputable" authority :
"" From one of the most wealthy and respectable
Banks s this country the BANK OF ENGLAND received
a package of their OWN Notes. These Notes were sub-
jected to the CUSTOMARY INVESTIGATION, and one of
them pronounced upon, and returned, as a FORGED
NOTE. The private Banker, accustomed to exert not
only a due, but a very jealous, vigilance, was struck
with astonishment, and again scrutinizing the Note
, by all known test, and all possible modes of culmina-
tion, solemnly declared to his partner—that if THAT
Note was a rowan one, then there was an end to
ALL !Jemmy, and it tent full time for them te-dare',
their doors, and brig' their establishment to its,fintd
doom!!! The Note was returned to the Batik of
England, accompanied with a most respectful re-
quest, that it might be re-examined, when, upon a
cLosen inspection, it *ies found to be aignuisr, and
passed to account !!;"--The consequent*, which may
have already resulted from th.• uncertainty which we
have here established, that prevails at the Bank, as to
the tree criterion whereby forged Notes are to be

taken, as for having abandoned that frigate by er-

Mr. BROUGHAM suggested the words "any

Mr. rEPHEN said, he was certain that if the
country thought it was the intention of the Commit-
tee to repeal the Orders in Council, their table
would be loaded with petltions'against such repeal.—

the same Committee.
Mr. WHITBREAD moved, that all the petitions
which hall 'een presented respecting the general di-
stresses (A the country, should be deferred to the
same 'Committee.—Ordered. _ _

Mr. WHITBREAD then begged leave to ask of
the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite, before the
House went into a Committee, whether Mr. Ryland
was in this country ? to which Mr. Rose replied,
that he had accidentally learned in the course of the
day, that he was gone to America.

a Committee—a result so little to be expected, after
the recent issuing of the Declaration on the subject
of the Orders in Council. He hoped that the know-
ledge of the one would reach America' at the same
time with the other, and would hare the effect of
counteracting the disagreeable immessions which the
Declaration was calculated to produce.
The House then went into a Committee on the

Mr. BROUGHAM, after explaining that some of
the most material witnesses were absent from town,
being. under an impression, from what had fallen

the meantime, call some witnesses, who were of im-
portance on particular points, though not particu-

tures of the question.

POLICE.

• 130 Al-ST EET.
Yesterday two men underwent a long private eu.
initiation before Mr. 11.;..vn, nho were brought from
Gravesend a few days since by Adkins and Pcarlses.
The Prisoners had been living at an inn at Ma,..ate
for some time, where they paid their bill with what
appeared to be a 501. Bank of England Note. After
they were gone, it was discovered that the Note was
forged. An alarui was given, and the Prisoners
traced through Margate, and on to Gravesend, where
they were stopped, and on searching them and their
luggage, some papers and letters Wefe round, which
caused a strong suspicion that they were carrying on
an improper correspondence with the. French Minis-
ter of Police. A communicaion of this circemstance
was made to the Secretary of State's Office, and Ad.
kins and Pearkes were in consequence sent to bring
them to town.

Air. Litchfield, the Solicitor to the Treasury, at-
, tended the examination, as did the Solicitor to the
Bank.

The Prisoners were committed for further exami.

f Yesterday William Manning, alias Captain Mat.
ring, and a woman with n hom he cohabited, of an
name of Darts, were brought up, and underwent a
final examination, standing chilled with having taken
lodgings in different parts of the tort, /tad robbing
the same of a great quantity of bed-f-riiitere s. d
various other articles. The evidence agai..si the i'ri-
soners being conclusive, they were fully committed
to Newgate for trial.
Two persons, the keepers of an old iron sh< p, in
the neighbourhood of Saffron-hill, were wrought up,
being charged with having on their premises a great
quantity of nails, quite new, with their original pa-
pers, new sheet lead, and a leaden pipe, also new ;
the whole suspected to have been stolen. The Pri-
soners, not being able satisfactorily to account for the
legal possession of the same, were ordered to be
brought up again on a future day, when it is expect-
ed persons owning the property will attend.
Welts and Crofts, with three other lads, were
brought up,. el:arged on AUVICIOII of breaking and
entering the premises of Mr. Forsyth, coach-master,
in this neighbourhood of Clerkenwell, and with steal.
ing thereout kve coach axle-trees, and other thino.
Some principal witnesses not being present, the eri-
soners were ordered to be brought up again on alti•

At ‘RI.BOROUGH-STREET.

A strange occurrence took place at this 011ie(' on
Wednesday evening, which excited considerable alarm.
Two of the Magistrates were conversing together, iu
the absence of business, when a genteel looking man
approached the table in an assuming attitude, with
his hat on, and carelessly threw a pamphlet on the
table, demanding that it should be perused, and the
grievances therein complained of redressed. or " ho
would do for some of them." On his littering the
last expression, he drew from a side pocket a knife,
unsheathed, such as is used for slaying rattle, and
then left the morn, pointing it at .tire Magistrates.
The intruder immediately made his escape. Ile again
made his appearance at the Office yesterday, and was
immediately taken into custody, and handcuffed.—
On searching him, the knife which he presente,l, in
his threat to the Magistrates, was found. The Pri-
soner underwent an examination yesterday before
CONA,:T; but he assigned no other reason for
his alarming conduct, then that he sought redress for
injuries, which were stated in the pamphlet. The Pri-
soner's name is Le 7'strc, and lie' is a French teacher
at an Academy, near, London. The pamphlet is
written in a romantic style, complaining of want of
redress for injuries, the nature of which are not yen
stated. Ile had written several letters to the Go-
vernment Offices, and complained of neglect in his
applications at Bow-street. His whole demeanour
implied a degree of insanity. lie was remanded to
safe custody until another day. 'rho Prisoner is of
French parents, but born in England, has been a

has become so unsteady, that the gold of the whole
world world scarce suffice to support itsravenousappe-
tite; therefore abroad-bottomed Administration is,
in my opinion, neither more nor less than the tem.
porary means of better supplying this destructive
waste, and will bring on the dreadful shoat se much
sooner, as there will be a greater increase- of morbid
matter. You have now, lightning and thtinder with
heavy rain,' this proves a cure for the present dis-
turbed state of the atmosphere by a fortu'ltate
charge of the morbid matter, the mean's' aptieinted by
Providence of providing renovated air; the experi-
ence of our feelings sufficiently declare this, after a
storm of lightning and thunder, how much we feel
exhilirated and refreshed: Would to God that our
great landed pros)rietors would think before it is too
late, of the dreadful situation the country is in, and
lend a helping hand to repair that noble structure, the
English Constitution, so founded upon a rock, that if
the inhabitants will not take- out the deca)ed.stones,
as they appear, and replace them by sound ones, so as
constant:), to keep it in good order, it will fall upon
them with a dreadful crash, and leave the rock for
others to rebuild upon.—lf, as Lord M. tnlks of old
times, he was in his readings to compare what history
will inform him of, the situation and condector th- old ,
Barons, and how they came by their large frsets of
Land, both in England and Ireland, he must clue' ve,
that the practice of those times were for the great
Barons to live chiefly at their Country Seats, and
that their neighbours and occupiers-of Lands did not
consider themselves, as having so slight or feeble as
iuterest in the occupancy, as the present practice ad-
mits of ;, and, perhaps, if maturely considered, it
would be difficult to account for, otherwise than by
one encroachment after another, and by being car-
ried too far like corruption in a State, may work its
own cure.

WAIMINGTODI CITY, APRIL 99.—The proposi-
tion for a recess of Congress received its roue de
grace, in the House of Representatives, ou Saturday
last, after a warm struggle: the recess, we believe,
would have taken place, kad it been suggested foe
20 days, instead of near 40, as proposed by the'
Senate.

lhe Senate passed and sent down another Resolu-
tion to day to adjourn Congress from the 6th to the
29th of May ; it was taken up immediately, the pre-
vious question called for, carried, and the Resolution
negatived, 59 to 51.

Mr. REED presented a Petition of sundry Mer-
ebants of Boston, in Massachusetts, stating that they
have an immense amount of properly in the domi-
nions of Great Britain, the safety of which is jeopar-
cltsed by the state of the relations between the two
countries, and praying permission to draw their said
property from Great Britain and her dependencies,
under such provisions as shall be reasonable and just.
Some debate took place on the question of refe-
rence of this Petition.

Mr. RHEA moved to postpone it to the 4th of
July next. _ _

Mr. REED moved to refer it to the Committee of
Foreign Relations.
A motion by Mr. Bine, to refer the Petition to
the Committee of the whole to whom similar Peti-
tions have been referred, was carried in the affirma-
tive.

The Bills from the Senate " respecting Associ-
ati9ns for Maritime Security," and the Bill " con-

and the ruin of the nation, is a subject, •above all
others, the most important and interesting fur the
consideration of a Statesman. Hitherto, however,
it has been the fate of Great Britain to be governed
by men, who have shown that her interest was with
them a seeond:uy consideration ; and who, by the
most perverse system that ever was adopted, have
plunged the country into her present difficulties.—
We are now on the eve of having a new Administra-

means calculated to restore peace and prosperity.—
But if in this we should be disappointed, futurity
presents nothing to our view but a throne overturned

Maj;.,ty, under the date of the 22d Sept. (4th Oct.)
from head-quarters, near the village of *fatality), that
nothing of consequence had taken place with the
armies un.ler his command up to that day, with the
exception of some engagements of the van-guard,
and sisi rmisltiug affairs of the parties sent out on the
enemy's lines of communicttion. The following are
the pal ticidars of these engagements
On the I lth (23d Sept.) Major-General Dora-

with dispatches ; they burnt twenty chests of the.,
enemy's cartridges, and took '230 prisoners, amoc4:
whom were five Officers. On the 15th (27th) four
Officers and 287 privates were taken, and on the
same day Major-General Dorochow completely
routed two squadrons of French Guards, and a bat-
talion
of infantry. This skirmish was performed byl
two squadrons of the drcgoon guards. Grit. Do.,
rochow prai.es their courage. At this time we took
one Colonel, four officers, and SG privates. The.!
reinforcement which had arrived for the support of
the enemy's detachment, werealso driven back more

(eased them near the village Wrehnewskoji, and took
about SCO prisoners.

of had Sethi the purchaser of a ticket in the " City
Lottery,"taad had been so fortunate as to obtain
one of the prizes, which was represented by the V..
fendswt .(who was an agent for the disposal of
tickets), to be worth 17,0001. but en the Plaintitrs
application for that sum, it appeared that the sur-
veyors appointed by the .Defendant, had estimated
the premises to be north no more than 45001. upon
which an arbitration was agreed upon, to be made by
Mr. Sevjeant Remmhigton, who had accordingly ex-
amined into the merits of the case, and, on hearing
theopposite evidence of the Plaintiff and Defendant
with respect to the estimated value of the premises,
had fixed the award at 8,0001. with a view, however,
to the final decision of the Court.
Mr. Serjeant Sextant], now argued in support of
the award, but the Coed deferred judgment till a
future day.

This case is so far of interest, as to involve the
construction of the 46th of the King, commonly
Pp.called the " Southwark Act," and was as follows :
The Plaintiff had proposed to the Defendant to enter
into partnership with him, if he should like the bu:)'
.
mess which he (the Defendant) carried on, and had
a lvauced him the sum of five pounds, as a sort of
earnest, which was to be returned in the event of the
Plaintiff not approving of the business of the De-
fendant, which happened to be the case, and he
accordingly, on the refusal of the Defendant to re-
fund the sum advanced, brought an action on the
agreement, and obtained a verdict ; but Mr. Ser-
. jeant Lens had, since the commencement of the pre-
sent Term, applied for a Rule, to shew cause why
,a suggestion should not be entered on the record,
that the Defendant was entitled to costs under the
Southwark •Act, by which it was enacted, that such
actions as the present should have been brought in
the Borough Court, instead of one of the Courts at
Westminster.
The Court were unanimously of opinion that the
application was well founded, and the Rule was
made absolute.
