This was a whimsical case of an action
against Young lady for pOeticaI libel.
The plaintiff was an attorney, residingat
Margate, and the defendant Young Girl
of 90, the daughter of an innkeeper atthe
same place. What the cause of quarrel
was did not distinctly appear in evidence 1:
but the father Of the defendant had been
employed as clerk of the works at the pier,
md the plaintiff had also been employed
IT i've same works under the late act of
parliament.
It was stated by Mr.. Marryatt, that the
libel complained of was but one among
many by which the plaintiff had been as
sailed for the last twelve months. There
were three read in evidence which it ap-
peared, had been placarded about the
town, and Of which duplicates had been
sent 10 the plaintiff The one related
suit conducted bv the plaintiff. respecting
a lime-kilns which he had professionally
prosecuted rs a nuisance. and in which he
failed. This was doggrel copy of YER
ses, mDuting TO him a consultation with
the devil to remove the kiln. in which at
temp he was beaten. This was nailed w
on the lamp posts. accompanied bv a car
feature Of the Deeii and himseIrin consul
tatiOn, but that he was knocked on the
head by n winch-in the caricature ded-
winch falling on his head. Another re-
presented him and the devil filing the or
gaa pines Of the church with sand, and
hoggrel describing that he did so. A third
was history Of his stealing en- iron roller.
Two Witnesses were called to prove
the handwriting and after speech for
the defendant from sereant Best, me Jury
found the defendant guilty Damage nc

PROCLAMATION OF GEN. cLA6sEL.
BORDEAUX, July 10

Soldiers ofthe corhs Of observation ofthe Uestera
pyrenees-Jhe army of the Loire in hosting
the white cockade and Gag, has given an exam
PIE OF the greatest sacrifice, which has been
made hitherto by the French army. Remember
that the flower ofsolr brave men, forms part OF
that army, and that you ought never 60 hesitate
to march in its steps--it is IN initiating its obedi-
cnce and it's noble devotion, that YOU will acquire
with the French army, new title to the nation
Al administration and gratitude.--Before the enc
my, rs in the midst of our fellow citizens, have
always merited your confidence no one Of YOU
can accuse me of weallness-bu. every thing
ought to yield before the great interest of The
country-you have proved it and you viii S-oye il
again.
You have never hesitated, in the midst of the
greatest dangers, to follow the example of your
chiefs, to reP6se yourselves on their prudence
and their information. Those who have otter
conducted YOU TO victory can never exact from
YOU any thing contrary TO honor and at this mo-
nent, when new dangers surround us, you viii
suffer yourselves TO be guided by them.
SOlGisrS-The love of country is inseperabl6
from the love of the sovereign you will not be
faithful to your country but in much as YOU
will be fsthful to the king. You are alway- the
object of his paternal solicitudes, and you will
learn very soon to dismiss all doubts, that he con
siders you rs tire dearest of his children Let
us rally around him; and wewll deliver our coun
try from ri the evils from whichshe is Cypress
ed, and from misfortunes still greater with
which she is menaced. 1t is thus that we vii
preserve without spot, the glory that we have &C,
CURED in battle. To flee from our enemies
would be crime of which none of you are capa-
bic Let US be united by love to our sovereign
let us remain faithful unto death to the motto oil
the brave, " Hcior aud orr Country" and France
who owes her glory to the army, VIII owe to il
her safety.
