they asked for ; and why had they not paid it in?
Dill they wish to be considered in contempt, or were
they aware that an attachment was ready to helmet,

constriction of the will of a Lady named Oglethorpe.
The question was, whether, ender this will, by which
the late Granville Sharpe, Esq. was appointed trustee
of certain property, to be enjoyed by him during his
life, but et his death to be appropriated to some cha-
ritable purpose, not described, bet left to his disci,-
Hon, still subject to the payment of en annuity to a
Lady eased &larder', conveyed to him ao estate 1n

The Cower, after hearing very long arguments,
decided that Mr. Sharpe took only a life interest, and
that the heir at law of Mrs. Oglethorpe was entitled
to recover the property in qorstion, by the action of
ejectment which he had brought, and in which he had
obtained a verdict. The present application was for
a new trial. Their Lordships, however, were ens.
nimoss in refuting the role.

" Since the time when Ferdinand and Isabella be.

In order to form so ease idea of the state of

and Ferrol, had immense docks, arsenals, and maga-
zines, amply furnished with every thin; necestary

in particular. were admired by all strangers who vi-
sited them. Our alliance with France, end be unjust
invasion, which was one of the fatal consequence, of
it, have destroyed every thing. Oar Navy hes been
annihilated, our arsenals are empty; and there Is not
timber sufficient in the arsenal to build four ships of

been employed in the defence of the mown and

where the writer says that men were killed unarmed
and unresisting; women too, disfigured, maimed,
cut down, and trampled on by Dragoons 7—Why
this bee been said by almost every person either in
town or the country, who reported the proceedings
of that melancholy day. Is it when he asks the Gen-
tlemen of England. if they will support or wink at
such proceedings P—Where he tells them they mast
join the general yoke, loudly demanding justice and
redress, and head Public Meetings throughout the
United Kingdom —Tbe Gentlemen of England will
not stand tamely by ; and it would be • libel on them
to suppose that they will net head Public Meetings
`throughout the United Kingdom, demanding Mesta-
Ration and redress.
