present case. 1t is MAXIM universal
in theory, though sometimes neglected
in practice, that if in criminal prosecu-
tons there be doubts either as to fact or
law, the decision ought to be in favour
OF the accused. ibis principle must be
reversed on question of commitment.
In case ike the present, if the Judge
has formed clear opinion on the law
or fact, which there is not much reason to
suppose additional testimony might be
o5tained to change, it would be injustice
90 the public, to The accused, and to tina,
host OF witnesses who must be drawn
from their private avocations to the tri-
al, should be take a step which in his
Judgment could produce only vexation
and expense; but if he entertains serious
doubts IS 10 the law or fact, tits, think,
his duty even in a case like this, not te
discharge, but to commit.
The charges against the accused are
1st. That they have levied war againss
the United States az the mouth of Cum
bertrand river, in Kentucky; and
IDLY. That they have begun and pro-
vidcd the means Of military expedi-
ton against nation with which the u
nitcd States were 1t peace.
With respect 10 one of the accused, Z
preliminary defence is made in the na.
cure OF plea Of aurcf5it dcgHit.
Ii the question raised by this defence
was one on which my judgment was
completely formed in favour Of the per-
son by whom it is made, it would Ger
tainly be improper for me to commit

The report of the French having sus-
tanned severe defeat from the Russians,
continues to maintain itself. The en-
gagementtook place between the Vistula

lsst2ted atnear 80 900 men in killed and
prisoners. However this may be, there
can be 10 doubt that the affairs of the
