It is a melancholy fact, that ' Thousands fall Victims to this horrid Disease, owing to the unskilfulness of il- literate Men, who, by an improper treatment of this direful Calamity, not unfrequently cause those foul Ulcerations and Blotches, which so often appear on the Head, Face, and Body, with Dimness in the Sight, Noise in the Ears, Deafness, Stric- tures, obstinate Gleets, Nodes on the Shin Bones, ulcerated Sore Throat, diseased Nose, Nocturnal Pains in the Head and Limbs ( frequently mistaken for other Disorders) till at length a general Debility and Decay of the Constitution ensues, and a melancholy Death puts a period to suffering Mortality!

STAMP OFFICE, LONDON, July 20, 1815. N'OTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that two Acts were passed in the late Session of Parliament, for repealing the Stamp Duties on Deeds, Law Proceedings, and other written or printed Instruments, and the Duties on Fire Insurances and on Legacies and Successions to personal Estate upon Intestacies, and also the Duties on Advertisements, Almanacks, Newspa- pers, Pamphlets, Gold and Silver Plate, Stage Coaches, and Licences for keeping Stage Coaches, now payable in Great Bri- tain, and for granting New Duties in lieu thereof; and that the New Duties are to commence upon the 1 st of September next; except the Duty on Fire Insurances, which is to commence on the 29th September; and the Duties on Stage Coaches aud Stage Coach Licences, which are to commence on the 5th Sep- tember. A very general Increase of the present Duties is enacted; and some Instruments are subjected to ad valorem Duties, which are not so at present, such as Deeds of Exchange and Parti; ion, Leases, Settlements of Money and of Shares in the public Stocks or Funds, whether voluntary or upon Marriage, and Warrants of Attorney to confess Judgment, when given as a Security for Money instead of Bonds or Mortgages. And Bills of Exchange and Promissory Notes at more than two Months after Date, or sixty Days after Sight, are charged with higher Duties than those payable at shorter Periods. The New Duties are contained in Schedules, in which the Instruments and Things charged are classed and alphabetically- arranged, so as to afford a complete Table of Duties, in the most convenient and practicable form, and to supersede any Occasion for those Compilations, published by private Individuals, to which the Profession of the Law and the Public have formerly found it convenient to resort. And as the Schedules will not admit of an Abridgment that can be safely relied upon, the Com- missioners recommend it to the Profession and others not to trust any Thing else in Matters of Importance. The Acts contain various Provisions for securing the Duties, which are material to be attended to by those who wish to avoid Penalties. And the Provisions of former Acts are to be en- forced in regard to those Duties, concerning which no new Provisions are enacted. With respect to the RECEIPT DUTIES, it is to be observed, that not only formal Receipts, but all Notes and Memorandums, whether signed or not, which shall import any Acknowledgment, that a Sum of £ 2. , » r upwards, has been paid, settled, balanced, or otherwise discharged or satisfied, are liable to these Duties; and that all Ptrsons payi ig Money are entitled to have stamped Receipts, at the Expence of the Persons receiving it, and on tendering a proper Stamp, may insist on having a Receipt written thereon, and on being p„ id lor the Stamp; and that all Persons refusing to give such Receipt and pay for the Stamp, as well as all Persons giving a Receipt, or any such Note or Memorandum as aforesaid, without a Stamp, or upon a Stamp of insufficient Value, will incur a Penalty of Ten Pounds for every Offence, which will be strictly enforced ou every Occasion.

ACTUATED by a sense of gratitude for the preserva- tion of my child, I hasten to lay his case before you, and authorise you to publish it, if you think proper. I am anxious you should do so, to prevent others, if possible, from being pre- judiced against so invaluable a medicine, till thiy have given it a fair trial: they will then, like myself, be convinced of its real utility. My son, who is now eignt years of age, was, from in- fancy, subject to a scorbutic humour, which gradually spread into blotches all over his body, attended with pain and itching to such an extent, as to deprive himself and parents of rest for several months; and to prevent him from injuring himself, they were under the painful necessity of securing his hands.— In this dilemma, the eminent of the medical profession were consulted without effect. Willing to grasp at any shadow of relief, I purchased a bottle of your Drops from Mr. Fox, Printer, Nantwich. No material alteration took place, and my former prejudices again took possession of me; I again took medical advice, and was again disappointed. I soon after saw the case of Mr. John Piatt's grand- son of Nantwich, which induced me to purchase another bottle— I persevered in the use of them, according to your directions, ana have now, notwithstanding all my former prejudices against public medicines, the satisfaction of announcing to you a perfect cure, performed by your Anti- scorbutic Drops aione, after every remedy, and almost every glimpse of hope had vanished. I shall continue to give him 2, bottle at the Spring and Fall of every year. This ciSe i will testify, either personally or by letter, post- pa^.

It has also been found no less suc- cessful in Attacks of the same Diseases in Horses, Cows, and other Cattle; and, as a general Family Medicine, DICEY's DAFFY has long become so justly celebrated, from its supe- rior Quality to all other Preparations sold under the Name of Daffy's Elixir, that no Family, particularly in the Country, ought to be without it; but, as effectual Relief is otny to be expected by those who use the Genuine Medicine, Pui chasers are cautioned not to rely merely upon the Glass Bottle bearing the Name of Dicey and Co. as there are unprincipled People who buy up the empty Bottles, for the Purpose of tilling them with their own Counterfeit Preparations, and which are thus foisted upon the Public as the True Daffy's Elixir: the only certain Criterion is to examine whether the Stamp Label, in Red Ink, which is pasted over the Cork, has the Words Dicey and Co. printed therein; and to observe that the Bill of Directions is signed " IV.

The event has at length happened which the general wish of Europe has anticipated, but which no expectation could promise itself. It would seem as if the very hand of Provi- dence had delivered the Tyrant of the World, and the Op- pressor of Nations, into thepower and disposal of a free people, and had thus marked out that our conduct had been found just in his sight. It ought to excite the deepest gratitude of the humblest amongst us, that our country is signalized by such a blessing, and that what those great and memorable statesmen, Pitt and Burke, had never promised themselves in the fondest moments of their patriotism, has at length been brought to pass by Providential interposition. The first cause was the campaign in Russia, and the last the victory at Wa- terloo. LONDON GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY, July 21. FOREIGN OFFICE, July 21, 1815. A Dispatch, of which the following is an extract, has been this day received from Viscount Castlereagh, dated Paris, July 17, 1815. Since- closing my dispatches of this date, I have received the accompanying communication from this Government: " I have the honour to acquaint your Lordship, that Napoleon Buonaparte, not being able to escape from the Eng- lish cruisers, or from the guards kept upon the coasts, has taken the resolu- tion of going on board the English ship Bellerophon, Captain Maitland. " I have the honour to be, & c. ( Signed) " Le Due D'OTRANTE. * To his Excellency Lord Viscount Castlereagh." FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE, July 22. FOREIGN OFFICE, July 21, Extract of a dispatch from Lieutenant Colonel Leake, to Viscount Castlereagh, dated Pontarlier, July 12,1815. As a Courier is now departing for the Prince de Talley- rand at Paris, I profit of the opportunity to inform your Lordship, that the Swiss forces, now amounting to twenty- one thousand, and daily increasing, still occupy the position from Morteau to Pontarlier, with light corps, on the right and left towards St. Hypolite and Satins. The head quarters are still at Neufchatel. An aid- de- camp, sent here from Marshal Jourdan, at Besan- $ on, announced yesterday the submission of the garrison of that place to the King's orders, and requested, in consequence, a suspension of arms on the part of the Swiss army. General de Castela, Chief of the Swiss Staff, who is now here, gives me to understand that the request will be granted, upon con- dition that a corps of tbe enemy, now at Salins, shall be re- moved, in order to allow the Swis9 troops to move forward. The Gazette also contains a dispatch from Mr. Fielding, attached to the head quarters of the Piedmontese Contingent, stating, that the positions Aiguebelle, Conflans, and 1' IIopital, have been taken from the French. In consequence of the abdication of Buonaparte, an armistice was soon after pro- posed by the French, and accepted by General Trink, an Austrian General. There is also an order for the Court to change mourning on the 27th inst. for the Duke of Brunswick, and on the 21th of August to go out of mourning. Sunday night, between ten and eleven o'clock, and re- mained with his Royal Highness ypwards of an hour; when his Lordship proceeded at twelve o'clock to the Foreign Office, at which hour a Cabinet Council was sum- moned to be held, and which continued sitting till between four and five. At the breaking up of the Council, Mr. Pegler, the King's Messenger, was ordered to hold him- self ready for a journey, and the exertions to get him off were so great, that he had started at about six. The Earl of Liverpool waited upon the Regent after- wards, with the result of the deliberations of the Cabinet. Finding escape from the vigilance of our squadron ut- terly impossible, Buonaparte sent Las C'asses on board, to know if Captain Maitland would allow him to pass un- molested, as he was in expectation of receiving passports from England ; but the Captain's answer was, that he had received no information of such passports being granted, and consequently that he could not allow him to pass.— He then sent Savary to negociate for his reception in England, but the Captain told him he had no authority to make conditions, and could only receive him on board and carry him to England, where he must abide the deci- sion of the Government. The Slaney preceded the Bel- lerophon with a General Gorgaud on board, who. as we have already said, was the bearer of a letter to the Prince Regent from Buonaparte. NAROLEON'S LETTER TO THE PRINCE REGENT. ( it is rather strange that the Paris Papers of Saturday last con- Iain the same.) " ROYAL HIGHNESS,— Exposed to the factions which divide my country, and to the enmity of the great Powers of Europe, I have terminated my political career, and I come like Themis- tocles, to throw myself upon the hospitality ( m'asseoir sur le foyerJ of the British Nation. I place myself under the protec- tion of its laws, which I claim from your Royal Highness as the most powerful, the most constant, and the most generous of my enemies. ( Signed) " NAFOLION." « Rochefort, 13th July." TORBAY, JWy 24.— Arrived this day his Majesty's ships Myr- midon and Belierophon, on board the latter is Napoleon Bona- parte, General Bertrand, his wife, and three children, the Count Mouthelond, his wife, and one child, Savary, Las Casses and his son, General Lallemand, and several others, in all about 34.— The Port Admiral at Plymouth and Lord Keith are expected this afternoon from that port, when it will be known what is to become of Napoleon and his party : at presest we know nothing of what is intended to be done with them. " No strangers are permitted to go alongside the Bellerophon, but Napoleon is seen plain enough by all at the stern gallery, and those that go round the ship have a full view of him." Another letter, of the same date, from Torbay, after confirm- ing all that is said in the preceding, states—" that the Duke of Rovigo, Count Las Casses, Count Mouthelond and family, two Lieutenant- Colonels, three Captains, and two Lieutenants, are on board his Majesty's ship Myrmidon." It then states—" that boats may pass round the Bellerophon, but are not permitted to go alongside. That Napoleon is almost constantly in the stern gallery; and the parties who have been off, have approached near enough to distinguish that he has greyish eyes, brown hair," & c. Btmoijapart£ is in good health. As usual, he passes ibut a short time at his meals, and drinks but little wine. He is said to drink regularly to the health of the Prince Regent. Coffee is frequently served up to him on the deck, and when he first came near the land about Torbay, he is reported to have ex- claimed, " Enfin voil ce beaujiays I" ( At length, here is this fine country lj adding that he had never seen it, except from Calais and Boulogne, when the only points that could be seen were the white and bold rocks about Dover. He is plainly dressed, in general in a green coat, without any decorations, and a cocked hat. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE, July 25. WAR OFFICE, July 24, 1815.— The Prince Regent, as a mark of his high approbation of the distinguished bravery and good conduct of the 1 st and 2d Life Guards at the battle of Waterloo, on the 18th ultimo, is pleased to declare himself Colonel in Chief of both the regiments i Life Guards. WAR OFFICE, July 25,1815.— His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has been pleased, in the name and on the behalf of his Majesty, to approve of all the British regiments of cavalry and infantry which were engaged in the battle of Waterloo, being permitted to bear on their colours and appointments, in addition to any other badges or devices that may have heretofore been granted to those regiments, the word " Waterloo" in comme- moration of their distinguished services, on tbe 18th of June, 1815. A letter from the neighbourhood of Paris, dated the 15th inst. states, that the property of the Mayors who have been active for Buonaparte is to be sequestrated, as also that of all the inhabitants who do not return in eight days to their habitations:— the sequestrated property to form a military fund, and to indemnify other inhabitants for sacrifices and requisitions. The Allied armies are to be maintained, clothed, paid, and armed at the expense of the enemy's couittry, and the following articles required from the occupied provinces:— 150,000 pair of shoes, 150,000 coats, 40,000 pair of boots, 150,000 cloaks, 150,000 pairs of breeches, 150,000 pairs of gaiters, 150,000 stocks, 150,000 leather caps, 100,000 kettles and drinking vessels, 100,000 horse shoes, soOO- hfcrses, half saddle, half draught horses, and 4,000,000 of francs, to make good the arrears of pay. All the English troops are encamped within a mile or two of Paris, with the exception of a light division, encampcd on the Champ Elysee. The Prussian army is chiefly billetted upon the inhabitants. The Moniteur of the 21st instant, contains a long me- morial presented to Congress by Sir Sidney Smith, oil the subject of destroying the Barbary Piratical States. He offers to conduct an enterprise by which he means to ef- fect the end in view. The substance of his plan is, that the States who are most interested in putting down the pirates, should contribute their contingent to raise, what the gallant Admiral calls an amphibious force, by which is to be understood, one fit for naval or military service. With this he undertakes that commerce shall be secured, and the Africans civilized. ADMIRALTY OFFICE, July 23, 1815. Extract of a Letter from Captain Maitland, of his Majesty's ship Bellerophon, to John Wilson Croker, Esq. dated in Basque Roads, the 1 itli instant. " For the information of my Lords Commissioners of the Ad miralty, I have to acquaint you that the Count Las Casses and General Allemand, this day came on board his Maje y's ship under my command, with a proposal for me to receive on board Napoleon Buonaparte, for the purpose of throwing himself on the generosity of his Royal Highness the Prince Regent. " Conceiving myself authorised by their Lordship' secret order, 1 have acceded to the proposal, and he is to embark on board this ship to- morrow morning. " That no misunderstanding might arise, I have explicitly and clearly explained to the Count Las Casses, that I have no autho- rity whatever for granting terms of any sort; but that all I can do is to convey him and his suite to England, to be received in such manner as his Royal Highness may diem it expedient." The Gazette also contains accounts of the Gironde having been successfully entered, without toss, on the 13th inst. by his Ma- jesty's ships Pactolus, Hebrus, and Falmouth. The British squadron entered the river with the Royal colours of France flying at the mast- head. Capt. Aylmer, in his dispatch to Lord Ktith, says," the tri- coloured flag flew along the batteries, which were all in preparation, but no act of hostility occurred until we reached the heavy battery at Verdun, which opened its fire upon us, and continued it until rhe ships reached the anchorage. No injury, however, was sustained, and the squadron did not return a gun,, for I was unwilling to disturb the feeling which appeared so generally and so happily to prevail. Directly the ships were secured, a communication was sent up with a flag of truce to General Clausel, at Bourdeaux, by the Comte de Las- teur, deputed by M. la Duchesse d'Angouleme, and we are in expectation of his answer. In the mean- time, nothing can wear a more favourable aspect than the face of things in this river. I beg to assure you, that every measure shall be adopted, in conjunction with the Baron Montalembert, to arm and or- ganise the Royal party, and establish tlie power of predominance ef his Majesty the King of France in the vicinity of wherever eur means can operate. I shall also write to Rear Admiral Sir Henry Hotham, and perhaps the Rear Admiral may strengthen our means here, so that we may fully avail ourselves of such op- portunity of pushing the Royal cause with vigour and celerity, and of cherishing the excellent disposition with which all here seem inspired. I have just learnt that the enemy evacuated the fort of Verdun last night, and retired with his garrison. We have sent a force on shore to dismantle and destroy the guns, & c. This is the fort which disputed our entrance, and it is a very strong work.— I have also the pleasure to add, that the propositions of the Baron Montalembert, and his mission, have hitherto been every where attended with success. The forts and the positions are gradually pulling down their tri- coloured Hags, and hoisting that of their legitimate Sovereign; and se- veral of them have saluted the squadron upon their hoisting the white flag. While writing this letter, another battery has hoisted the white flag; and there now remains only the fort at Meche with the tri- coloured flag."— The intention of the squa- dron was to aid the Royalists and arm the population, under the orders of the Baron Montalembert. The Gazette likewise contains a dispatch from Major Ge- neral Hudson Lowe, stating his arrival at Marseilles, on the 11th instant, in company with Lord Exmouth, with a British mili- tary force, which had been embarked at Genoa. The forces would disembark as soon as the transports with the troops and arms had come to an anchor. A dispatch from Lieutenant General Sir James Leith, of the 10th of June, announces the occupation of the military points of Martinique, by a British auxiliary force of 1,300 men. A telegraphic notice reached Government on Monday, announcing the arrival of the Bellerophon, Capt. Mait- land at Torbay, with Buonaparte and his associates on board. The Slaney sloop, Capt. Sartorius, had prepared Mi- nisters for the immediate arrival of the Bellerophen at Plymouth or Torbay. Captain Sartorius reached town before six o'clock on Monday morning, with dispatches from Captain Maitland. He was also the bearer of a let- ter from Buonaparte to the Prince Regent. Buonaparte had delivered this letter to one of his own suite, who was to present it. This person, however, upon his arrival at Plymouth, in the Slaney, was not permitted to proceed to town, but the letter was given in charge to Captain Sar- torius, who immediately upon his arrival proceeded to. the Secretary's, Mr. Barrow's, in Piccadilly. Lord Mel- ville came to town from Wimbledon, between ten and eleven, and had an audience of the Prince Regent at Carl- ton House, who bad returnecTto town from Windsor on CONGRESS or VIENNA.— The new French Official Gazette, dated Wednesday, the 19th of July, is filled to the extent of 20 pages, with the Acts of the Congress at Vienna. The first article relates to the annexation of the Duchy of Var- sovia to the Empire of Russia. That Duchy, with the exception of provinces and districts otherwise disposed of, is irrevocably to be possessed by the Emperor of all the Russias, who is to join to his other titles that of King of Poland, and the Polonese sub- jects of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, are to be represented'in the National Institution.— The 2d article refers to the limits of the Grand Duchy of Posen, and describes the line of territory to be under the sovereignty of the King of Prussia.— The Sd relates to the Salt Mines of Wieliezka, which the Emperor of Russia is to have the full property of.— The 4th article settles the boundaries between Gallicia and the Russian territories.— By the Sth article the Emperor of Russia restores the Circles of ' I'arnopo! to the Emperor of Austria.— The 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th, relate to Cracovia.— The 14th pro. vides for the free navigation of the canals and rivers, through- out the whole extent of ancient Poland.— The 15th refers to the cession of Saxony to Prussia: these appear to be very consider- able.— The 16th settles the titles which have been assumed by the King of Prussia, who is to add to his titles those of the Duke of Saxony, X. andgrave ofThuringen, Margrave of the two Lusatias, and Count of Henr. eberg.— The King of Saxony is to continue the title of Upper Lusatia; and, eventually, some other titles.— The 17th contains an express guarantee, on the part of Russia, Great Britain, and Frauce, of all the cessions to the King of Prussia, in full sovereignty.— By the 18th Austria re- nounces the rights of sovereignty over Lusatia.— The 19th con- tains, oil the part of the King of Prussia and the King of Saxony, a reciprocal renunciation offeudal rights.— The 20th allows the liberty of emigration to persons, and the exportation of their property.— The 21st guarantees religious establishments, and establishments for public instruction, in the districts ceded by Saxony to Prussia.— The 22d grants a general amnesty to the subjects of the King of Saxony.— The 23d designates the pro- vinces of which Prussia is to have possession.

By accounts received from Ptymouth, we learn that his Majesty's ships Rhin, Menelaus, Havannah, and Ferret, have had an afiair with some French batteries, near Brest, who opposed their capturing some vessels in a small har- bour that had the tri- coloured flag flying. The batteries were attacked by the boats of the above squadron, and, after much resistance, the one that protected the French shipping was carried, and our gallant tars brought off a sloop of war, a cutter, two schooners, and three chasse inarees. We are stated to have had several men killed and wounded in this allair. The prizes have arrived at Plymouth. AH the troops recently returned from Canada, have been sent forward to the Netherlands, with numerous other reinforcements. EXECUTION.— Wednesday morning three unfortunate cri- minals were executed opposite the Debtors' Door, Newgate.— Their names were Elizabeth Fenning, a servant girl, for admi- nistering arsenic to her master and mistress in their food ; Wil- liam Oldfield, for a rape; and Abraham Adams, for an unna- tural crime. Elizabeth Fenning, just before she ascended the scaffold, on the last effort being made to induce her to a confes- sion, thus expressed herself— u I hope I may never enter into Heaven if I am not innocent; and God will give proof of it before the day is over."— On being further questioned as to the nature of the proof to be expected, and her certainty respecting it, she observed, in equivocal terms, that she merely " hoped God would." She was dressed in a white muslin gown, with a white satin hat; her countenance was of a pale white, and by no means interesting.— Oldfield was very penitent in his beha- viour, and took no small pains to induce the young woman to participate in his happiness by a Christian- like confession of her guilt. The other malefactor, who was upwards of seventy years of age, exhibited every symptom of personal and mental wretch- edness. COURT OF CHANCERY, SATURDAY, Jfly 22. CLANDESTINE MARRIAGE.— Sir Samuel Romilly stated, he was instructed to apply to the Lord Chancellor for an order to enforce the attendance in Court of the Rev. John Gwillim. the clergyman of St. Mary's church, Chester ; a young woman named Mary Jones, her father and mother, and also John Richard Meredith Walker, a minor of the age of seventeen years, and a ward of this Court. He made the application on the affidavit of the infant himself, who stated that he had the misfortune to become acquanted with Mary Jones, and that she and her friends caused banns of marriage to be published between herself and him, without his knowledge ; that on the 5th of April last he attended her and her mother to the church for the purpose of being married; that upon such occasion the clergyman asked him several questions, as to his name, where he lived, and what was his business; whether he had a father alive, and what was his age. To these questions, he replied, that his father was dead; that he was 17 years of age ; that he lived in the neighbourhood of Chester; and was a ward in Chancery. There were present at tbe marriage, besides the mother of Mary Jones, Sarah Sawwood and her husband. He further stated, that when they went into the church the clerk was called away just as the clergyman was beginning the marriage ceremony; be soon returned, stating that he had been informed there was somebody, in tbe town who objected to the marriage, and would forbid " the banns, upon which the clergyman said he should proceed with the marriage, and observed that those who meant to forbid it ought to have been there ill time. The marriage was accordingly solemnized. The affidavit of Mr. Hutchins, the guardian, stated, that the minor was a ward of Chancery, and possessed of considerable property ; that in consequence of having received information of his visiting this girl at the house of her father, who was a bricklayer, in very humble circumstances, he waited on the father and mother, representing to them the impropriety of permitting his visits, and the danger they would incur by suf- fering their daughter to marry a ward of the Court. The learned Counsel stated, that notwithstanding this intimation by tbe guardian, not only the girl herself, but the father and mother encouraged the addresses of the infant, and promoted the marriage to the utmost of their power; he added that there was a regular certificate of the marriage annexed to the affidavit. The Lord Chancellor ordered that all the parties, with the exception of the father and mother of the girl, should attend in Court on Wednesday se'nnight, to abide his further order upon this subject. His Lordship observed, that in all the cases where female infants, wards of the Court, were clandestinely married, it con- stantly appeared that the banns had been published without the knowledge of the infant. Here the only difference was, that it was a boy and not a girl who had been seduced into a marriage, and it appeared without the least knowledge of any banns having been published till the moment the ceremony was to be performed— This was certainly a very immoral proceeding, and he should endeavour hereafter to prevent such an abuse of the Marriage Act. Then follow a variety of Articles relative to the Germanic Confederation— the regulations with respect to elections— the mode of collecting votes— the residence of the Diet of Frank- fort— the formation of fundamental laws— the maintenance of peace in Germany. These extend to and include the 64th Ar- ticle. There are then a variety of articles respecting the limits of the Netherlands, and the Grand Duchy of Luxem- burgh— the Duchy of Bouillon and the Cessions, to the House of Nassau, in Germany, and the union of the Belgic provinces. At the 74th article commence the regulations relative to the affairs of Switzerland.— The 77th provides for the rights of the inhabitants of the Principality of Berne : they are to enjoy the political and civil rights formerly possessed.— The 79th relates to the arrangements betwen France and Geneva.— The 80th refers to the cessions of the King of Sardinia to the Canton of Geneva.— There is then, in the 82d article, an arrangement re- lative to the funds placed in England.— The 85th describes the limits of the estates of the King of Sardinia— The 87th gives the King of Sardinia the title of King of Geneva.— The next mate- rial article is the 93d, which restores the ancient Austrian pos- sessions, including all the territory which had been ceded by Austria by former treaties ; and then there is an enumeration of the territories so restored.— The 96th provides for the navi- gation of the Po. [ There then follow a variety of arrange- ments, which our limits do not allow us to state. J The 105th ar. d following articles relate to the affairs of Portugal. The restitution ot Olivenza and other restitutions on the part of the Prince Regent of Portugal. These arrangements are continued and detailed wth a minuteness which we find it impossible to follow.— By the 119th article, all the Powers ass, mbled at Congress, as well as the Princes and free cities who have concurred in the arrangements, are invited to accede to it. — The 120th article, referring to this Treaty being in the French language, provides that it shall not be a precedent for subsequent Treaties or Negociations, being in a language different from what they formerly used to be.— The 121st article provides that the ratifications of the Treaty shall be exchanged within six months; and by the Court of Portugal in a year, ifcp^ siible. The Treaty is to be deposited at Vienna, among the althives of the Court and State of his Imperial and Apostolic Majesty, in order that it may be referred toby any of tbe Courts of Europe who may wish to consult the original text.— It is dated Vienna, the 9th of June, 1815, and then follow the signatures of the Plenipotentiaries.

CORN EXCHANGE, MARK LANE, Monday, July 24. Our market has been scantily supplied with almost every ar- ticle mentioned in the currency sipice this day se'nnight. Wheat, which had found a very rapid advance during the showery weather of last week, sold still higher this morning, just at the opening, for a few superfine samples, but declined afterwards and did not exceed 76 to 78s. at noon for the finest White, or 66 to 68s. for the best Red, which we therefore consider as the last established prices. Rye, Grey Peas, and Oats, are 2s. per quarter dearer, and Barley, which is in particular request, from 3s. to 5s. New White Peas have been sold as breakers upon trial at 42 and even 44s. per quarter. Beans alone are here in any quantity, and have not advanced in price in proportion— they are, however, worth about Is. per quarter more than our last quotation. Coriander Seed is 1 s. 6d. per cwt. cheaper, but new Carraway Seed is worth 72s. and ' Fares 6d. per bushel higher. We had not so much Rape Seed fresh up as was ex- erted, the finest samples are still current at ;£ 28 per last.— Irown Mustard Seed is 2s. per bushel dearer.

The parties to this instrument are not the Lamas, Sul- tans, and Rajahs of dark and barbarous countries, but Christian Princes raised to the zenith of power by civi- lized nations, and ruling over some hundred millions of rational and enlightened beings. By this awful and com- prehensive document, Europe is partitioned, all the blanks occasioned by war and rapine are filled up, and orphan States, without a parent and Sovereign, are fathered and adopted in circumstances which are completely develop- ed explained. One of the parties only to this great char- ter, before his present acquisitions, possessed an empire more extensive than that of the Romans; another has gained all Italy by this arrangement, which that ancient people devoted centuries of valour to obtain; and such a revolution is produced in the relations of empire, that all former political convulsions, from Nimrod to Napo- leon, are but drops in the ocean of events compared with this mighty work. We have at length official information, that Buona- parte is a prisoner in the hands of the British Prince, whom he denominates the most powerful, the most per- severing, and the most generous of his enemies. Perhaps we cannot satisfactorily" analize the sentiment, but human nature is so constructed, that misfortune, in proportion to its degree, produces a fellow feeling that warms and softens the heart of iron. " L'epreuve du malheur," says one of the admirers of this man after his flight from Rus- sia, " vous donnait a mes yeux, ce je ne sais quoi d' acheve, qui, jusques— la manquait a votre gloire." Ask not why it is so. He who made man has so formed his moral nature, and we do not affect to improve the works of the Almighty. Croesus in his elevation excites our envy, in his abasement attracts our compassion. In such situations, it may be our duty to regulate the affections of beneficence, as in others, to conquer the passions of revenge. How then, is this extraordinary person to be disposed of? With relation to France, he is a rebel. With respect to us, he is a prisoner, but having commit- ted no crime under which he is amenable to our laws. Yet, says Vattel, there is " a right of nations against. him who violates the faith of Treaties, against the Sove- f reign who abandons his engagements under pretence* that are evidently frivolous, or who does not even think it worth while to assign any reason whatever to give a colourable gloss to his conduct. It is such a Sovereign," he adds, " that deserves to be treated as an enemy of the human race." But there may be no penal code under which this enemy is punishable. He may, like a madman, or a wild beast, be confined to prevent the repetition of the mischief he has committed, but we have no tribunal J before which he can be arraigned, tried, and condemned. It was fitly said, that the Spaniards violated every prin- t ciple of law when they determined the fate of the Inca t Alhualpa. What was their conduct ? They accused him i of having put some of his subjects to death, and of poly- F gamy, with other offences, for which he was not at all ' accountable to them, and to fill up the measure of their extravagant injustice, they condemned him by the ipsti- tutions of Spain ( Garcillaso de la Vega). It is a trite observation, that experience makes fools wise, but it is false. The wise alone improve by the les- Bons of experience, and fools are ever the victims of their own obstinacy. Even the more intelligent are sometimes so wholly the creatures of habit, that the former impulses they are incapable of resisting, and the best opportuni- ties of reflection are not sufficient to enable them to cor- rect the error. What was the condition of France, and what of the Usurper prior to the second convulsion by which he was hurled from the throne? France, more ardently than in 1789, was determined to be free, and by painful instruction, she had learnt how to distinguish between despotism and anarchy. Napoleon, instead of identifying himself with the nation, insulated himself from it, and for this purpose, he re- assumed the title of Emperor of the French, he issued a decree from Lyons dissolving the National Assemblies, and although Raised to power under the shade of the trees , of liberty, lie. a second time checked their luxuriance, stripped their um- j brageous foliage, treated France as a conquered province, the inalienable property of his family. He grossly mis- took the sentiments of the people, when he thought that by their love he was re- called. Love was not the feeling that Napoleon had been accustomed to inspire. Equally was he deceived when he assumed, that by the hatred of the same people the Bourbons were expelled. A great majority, it is true, feared,: that under their government feudal authority would be exercised, and jiriestly ambi- tion would be gratified; but all respected in them their august descent, all applauded their virtlfds,' afl pitied, their misfortunes, and even their defects had So rnuch_ ofB beneficence blended with weakness, tKat it was. extremely difficult to determine which of tbe. two predominated. It was happy for mankind that Buonaparte " did not discover that his " Acte Additionel" would be. received as a farce, and not as a solemn ceremonial perforined before the shrine of Liberty. Had he rendered the war national, he would have raised every man , tb the rank of a citizen, and every citizen would have engaged in jthe duties of a soldier. The French could sqc their industry torn to shreds, and their territory exposed to devasta- tion by the Calmuc and the Baskir, but not the roan ap- pointed to cherish and protect, them. Had Napoleon possessed the virtues of Washington, when he struck his foot to the earth, the invitation would have been ac- cepted, the mandate would have been obeyed, the call would have been answered by millions of invincible war- riors, and the efforts of the most powerful confederacy that the annals of mankind have recorded, would have been unproductive and nugatory. In the history of this remarkable revolution, we have another- example of the incompatibility of giving to vice the semblance of inno- cence. The deformity is prominent beheath the veil. The horns cannot be concealed by the cowl of religion, or the cloven foot by the train of state. Had thS secret cunning of Napoleon been equal to his open atrocity, Europe would again have trembled beneath his seeptre. We had intended to have said a few words or the Cen- sors appointed to the Press in France, under the specious, name of Responsible Editors;, on the ordinance of the King, by which publications of 20 sheets are not liable to the former supervision; on another, by which tha officers of the French army are to be reduced, and on a Sd by which certain modifications relative to the popu- lar elections are authorised; but we find ourselves in danger of exceeding the proper limits, and we shall there! i fore reserve these subjects for a future opportunity. f NOTTINGHAM, BINGHAM, SOUTHWELL, NEWARK, MANSFIELD, SUTTON, OLLERTON, WORKSOP, EAWTRY, BLYTII, TUXFORD, AND RETFORD ADVERTISER.^!

Captain Charles Gould, from the half pay of the Royal Scots', is appointed Captain in the Nottinghamshire regiment of Militia. Commission dated May 27, 1815.— Gaz. Paris is divided into twelve arrondissemeuts; one half oc- cupied by the British, the other by the Prussian troops. An Officer of the Allied Armies presides over each arrondisse- ment, to whom all complaints, & c. are made, and in whose hands the preservation of the public tranquillity is placed. It may be a gratification to many of our readers to learn, that our townsman, Major Strttton, has been appointed by the Cuke of Wellington Military Commandant of one of these divisions. On Monday, as John Woodcock, a cottager, of Owthorpe, near Bingham, was loading some hay, on a waggon, he fell from the same, in a fit, and instantaneously expired.— And on Tuesday, as Mrs. Abbott, wife of Mr. Abbott, of Cropwell Uisliop, also near Bingham, farmer, was carrying dinner into the hay field, for her husband and work people, and hav- ing reached the close adjoining that whither she was bound, the suddenly fell down and instantaneously expired. The fair held at Mansfield last week , but one was numer- ously attended. The races on the whole were very good.— A correspondent informs us, that the disgracefnl practice still continues of exposing meat for sale, in the shambles, on the Sunday evening preceding the fair, to such an extent, that it is called " The SHOW."

The assizes terminated at this place on Saturday last, when the Judges proceeded on the circuit to Derby. There were only two prisoners for trial in the county gaol, both of whom received sentence of death, but were afterwards reprieved, viz. Wm. Stiles, for stealing, in the parish of Wid- merpool, one silver watch, and 7s. 6d. in silver, the property of George Turtand, of Rugby, in the county of Warwick; and John Peatfield, for stealing a mare, the property of Mr. Thos. Clayton. Of the seven prisoners contained in the calendar for the town, six were capitally convicted and received sentence of death, viz. Ann Riley, for shop lifting, and Wm. Scattergood, for breaking into a dwelling- house, with intent to commit a felony therein ( as mentioned in our last); Charles M'Kenzie, and Hannah his wife, for traitorously counterfeiting 142 pieces of base metal, to the likeness of the current silver coin of this realm ; Joseph Greaves, charged on an indictment, to which he pleaded guilty, for breaking into the dwelling- house of Mr. J. Gibson, victualler ( in company with others, yet at large), and stealing thereout a barrel, containing four gallons of French brandy, two silver tablespoons, and other articles; and John Roberts, charged on two indictments with stealing a great coat,& c. the property of John Wood, and a sack bag and other articles, the property of Wm. Charlton, Esq. All the prisoners have since been reprieved. Charles Miller, charged with cutting and maiming Elizabeth, his wife, was liberated, on bail being given for his appearance to answer to the complaint on any future occasion. TH* KING, on the prosecution of DUNCAN CAMPBELL, Esq. against WILLIA* KINNARD, Esq.— The defendant is bouud to appear in person, and take his trial at the next Assizes for this county. The learned Judge having decided it to be contrary to the practice of the Court to try this offence at the same Assizes as that in which the defendant enters his appearance. THE KING v. SUTTON, FOR A LIBEL.— This was a criminal information filed by the Attorney General ex officio against Mr. Charles Sutton, proprietor and publisher ot the Notting- ham Review, for a libel inserted in that paper in the month of October last, reflecting on his Majesty's Government and the British army employed in America.— The case came on to be heard in the County Court, on Saturday morning, at nine o'clock, before the Hon. Baron Graham, and a most respectable Jury. It was intended that the whole of the Jury should have been Special; but as several of the gentle- men who had heen subpoenaed for the purpose, did not answer to their names, the deficiency was supplied out of the petit Jury.— The Court was excessively crowded. Mr. Gurney at- tended to take down the proceedings for the use of the Crown ; and as tbey will hereafter be laid before the public in a detailed form, we shall content ourselves with present- ing our readers with a brief sketch. Mr, J. Balguy opened the pleadings, by reading over the article complained of in the record, which purported to be a communication addressed to the Editor of the Nottingham Review, as followi :— " GEN. LUDD.—" I take the liberty of dropping you a few lines to inform you of the good fortune of one of my sons, who is come to very high honour. You must know, that some time ago, owing to a little imprudent conduct, my eldest son Ned decamped, and enlisted into his Majesty's ser- vice, and as he was notorious for heroism and honourable enter- prize, he was entrusted with a commission to exercise his prowess against the Americans, and I am happy to say he has acquitted himself in a way which will establish his fame to generations yet unborn. " I assure you, Mr. Editor, I scarcely know how to keep my feelings within bounds, for while all our former and united efforts in breaking frames, & c. were commented upon with some severity, and in a way which cast an odium upon my character and that of my family. I now find the scales are turned, and our enemies are converted into friends; they sing a new tune to an old song, and the mighty deeds of my * on are trumpeted forth in every loyal paper in the kingdom. My son is not now confined to the breaking a few frames; having the sanction of Government, he can now not only wield his great hammer to break printing presses and types, but lie has a license to set fire to places and property which he deems obnoxious, and now and then even a little private jiillage is winked at.— Even the Gazette Editor, at Mr. Tup- inan's, who was formerly one of my greatest enemies, and threatened to pursue both me and my family to the utter- most, is now in my favour, and is become a patron and ad- mirer of my son, on account of his achievements in Wash- ington. There is one thing though, in the conduct of this gentleman, which has created me some little uneasiness: a few weeks ago he strongly recommended to the Magistrates to offer a very large reward to any person who would dis- close our secret system of operation in this neighbourhood: he went so far » s to say that £ 5000 ought to be offered ; enough, he said, to enable the informerto live independent in another country intimating such a character would not be considered as a proper person for the society of this country, and therefore h » would emigrate to seek other associates. I hope it is not trje that this notorious Editor has any secrets to disclose about me and my family, and that he is waiting for this large reward to be offered that he may avail himself of such an opportunity of making his fortune, and fleeing his country. Now, I really think, as my son is become truly loyal, and is working for his country's good, and all under the sanction of the crown, and as his atchievements have been of the first rate, " old grievances ought not to be re- peated;" though by the bye, I am of opinion, that all which I and my son have done in Nottingham and the neighbour- hood, is not half so bad as what my son has done in America; but^ hen you kipw he has supreme orders from indisputable authority for his operation in America, and that makes all the difference.— I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " GENERAL LUDD." " Ludd Hall, Oct. E, 1814." Mr. Clarke ( the King's Counsel) then addressed the Jury on the pernicious tendency of this publication, which he contended, went to hold up to contempt the proceedings of bis Majesty's Executive Government, to stimatize and degrade the British army, who had by their lierpic achieve- ments so nobly upheld the honour and fame of the coun- try, to excite disaffection, and to hold out incentives to the Luddites to persevere in their lawless outrages) to the great injury of individuals, and the annoyance of the public peace. The learned Counsel then proceeded to comment with much force on the various obnoxious, passages.— The time, place, and circumstance, of the publication, he contend- ed, were calculated to inflame that desperate spirit of systema- tic violence which had for so long a period, held the town and neighbourhood of Nottingham ill terror, and had at length terminated in an attempt at assassination and murder. If this was not the object, what other purpose could the writer have in view? What good purpose, he asked, was its publi- cation intended to promote? Certainly none. The article ap- peared too, on the very day previous to the attack made by a party of Luddites on the house of Mr. Garton, at New Basford, whom they intended to assassinate, to prevent his giving evidence against a person then in custody on a charge of frame- breaking, and on which occasion a near neighbour of his ( Garton's) was shot and murdered. The enormities of the Luddites, and the immense devastation committed by them on private property were characterised as little impru- deneies, as that kind of occurrence, which was so far from being deserving of reprobation, that it ought to be con- sidered as a pattern of heroism and honourable enterprize, and not half so bad as bad been committed by British sol- diers in America.—" What ( said the learned Counsel) was the forcibly breaking into houses in the night time, the de- struction of frames, assassination, and murder, crimes of so trifling a nature, that they were to be looked upon as mere matters of indiscretion ? and to be held up to the world as worthy of admiration— as examples of heroism and honourable enterprize ?" The learned Counsel next proceeded to remark upon the imputation respecting the conduct of the British army at the capture at Washington, and the comparison which followed, than which nothing could be more odious, base, and libellous. He would not believe, nor could any one believe that the excesses imputed to them were commit- ted by British soldiers; much less that they were sent out with supreme orders from his Majesty's Government for the purpose. The British soldier had ever been distinguished for subordination, bravery, aud humanity; and to compare the conduct of our troops while engaged in open warfare in an enemy's country, with that of a set of " miscreants" who had violated every moral obligation, and had by their atrocities justly forfeited their lives to the offended laws of their coun- try, and to say, that they were sent out with express orders to pillage, burn, destroy, aud commit private assassination ( as the article would infer) was indeed most abominable. He did not hesitate, under every view of the subject, to pro- nounce thewhole article to be a most vile, wicked, and flagiti- ous libel, and had no doubt the Jury would be of the same opinion. Mr. Hobhouse, Solicitor to the Treasury, was called to prove that the defendant was the publisher of the Review, by the production of an office copy of the affidavit from the Stamp Office. He also gave evidence as to the publication of the official proclamation relative to the war with Ameri- ca, the Act of Parliament for suppressing Luddism, & c.; and gave his own construction as to the words of the libel. Two witnesses were next called to prove the existence of frame breaking and riotous proceedings at Sutton in Ashfield. Another witness also gave testimony with respect to the breaking of eight frames, at a house in Carter Gate, in this town, by a party of Luddites, disguised and armed with pis- tols. [ This evidence was brought forward merely to shew, that acts of violence had been committed, and that the spirit of Luddism still existed, and in a more aggravated shape, up to the date of the publication of the libel.] Mr. Denman, as Counsel for the defendant, addressed the Jury in an ingenious speech of nearly two hours.— He began by requesting the Gentlemen of the Jury to divest themselves of prejudice, aud to judge the case with candour and impartiality. He then entered into an elaborate expla- nation of the liberty of the press, which was an inherent part of the British Constitution, and the right every Enlishman en- joyed to discuss freely the measures of the Executive Go- vernment. It was by this privilege alone, hesaid, that theerrors of Administration could be made known ; it was to the instru- mentality of the press in exciting attention to public griev- ances. that they were to be redressed, and the condition of the people ameliorated. He said, that it was in the exercise of this privilege the article noticed in the record had been ad- mitted into the Review; but he disclaimed for his client any of the intentions imputed by the learned Counsel on the other 9ide. On the contrary, both before and subsequent to the appearance of the article, charged as a libel, the Editor had reprobrated in the strongest language, and expressed his un- qualified abhorrence of every act of outrage committed by the Luddites. The learned Counsel next endeavoured to shew, that the averments contained in the indictment had not been proved; and that the contents of the article did not warrant the construction which had been put upon it. He further observed, that the facts adduced in Court relative to the proceedings of the Luddites had no reference whatever to the case, having taken place many months before; that the attempt on Garton's life had been long premeditated, and would have taken place at the time it did, whether this pub- lication had appeared or not; that the letter itself was of a controversial nature, intended as a reply to some observations made by the Editor of the Nottingham Gazette; and that in giving it publicity the publisher was actuated by no other motive than that of an honest feeling of abhorrence of conduct and opinions, which he conceived tended to compromise the character of the country. Mr. Clarke made an energetic and argumentative reply; when The learned Judge proceeded to sum up the evidence with great perspicuity and eloquence. " Gentlemen of the Jury, ( said his Lordship) this is an in- formation filed by the Attorney General against the defendant, Charles Sutton, for a libel, and this information being filed by the Attorney General, has called forth some observations on the part of the counsel for the defendant, but that learned counsel; I am sure, has too much good si use and too much knowledge to dis- pute that privilege of the Attorney General, which is inherent in the Constitution of this country from its earliest times, and never has been disputed but by the wildest theorists and enthu- siasts, who were perfectly ignorant of the foundation c. f that Constitution: whether the Attorney General has exercised that discretionary power which the law gives him with propriety in the present instance, must depend up - hat opinion which you form of that wlvch is the subject of the present prosecution; if it bears the character which this information ascribes to it, that of a malicious and seditious libel, you will by your ver- dict remove from this prosecution ail the odium of its having been taken up by tnat Officer of the Crown, whose peculiar duty it is to guard the country from the effects of such publi- cations. , " Gentlemen, this information being for a libel, it was ne- cessary to state in the body of it some introductory facts to shew the application of it, and to give an explanation to the different passages which it contains, and it is certainly neces- sary in a prosecution of this sort, that those who sustain the prosecution, should be able to give reasonable and fair evidence of those preliminary and introductory allegations which lead to a view of the state of things at the time of the libel, and which have reference to it.— It will, therefore, be necessary for me ( not that in the observations I have to make to you, I feel it necessary to detain you very long) to go with some degree of particuiarity through those allegations, in order by applying the evidence to them, to see whether you must not fairly in your minds consider these allegations as established by the evidence you have heard. 1' The first allegation is that previous to the publication of the scandalous, malicious, and seditious libel, as it is described, ' which is the subject of prosecution, ( viz.) in the years) 811 and 1812, divers and very many acts of outrage had been commit- ted by divers disorderly and ill disposed persons, in, and in the neighbourhood of Nottingham, against the property of divers of his Majesty's liege and peaceable subjects, and particularly against the frame- work knitted stocking and frame- Work lace manufactory, whereby the property of many of his Majesty's subjects, had in several instances, been wholly destroyed; and that divers of the persons engaged, and suspected tobe engaged in the perpetration of such outrages, have been reputed to act under the direction of some supposed and unknown person, called General Ludd, and have been commonly called Luddites, and so forth. " Now, Gentlemen, let us see whether that is established by evidence— it is pretended on the part of the defendant, that no satisfactory evidence is given upon this head; it is not neces- sary for me particularly to recapitulate the evidence, but merely generally to state it.— Vou have had called before you a very respectable person, who I think is an attorney, at Mansfield, and who speaks of these scenes of outrage to which hi- was a witness at Sutton in Ashiield, which is at the distance of fourteen miles; but observe the extent of his evidence, he did not See the actual breaking of frames, but being one of a troop of very useful men, a troop of cavalry in this county, he saw a number of men running away from a house, and in that hoyse he luund a number of frames which had been recently broken* be after- wards saw* several of those people apprehended, twa in particu- lar, who were_ afterwards convicted of this dangerous practice, and he further told you, that he he^ rd some among them talk- ing upon the subject, and that they called them Luddites. " A young man of the name, of William Benson, the son of one of the sufferers by these outrages, then tells you, that, at a par- ticular time, during the period at which this violence is asserted to have happened, namely, the latter end of the year 18J1, and the beginning of the year 1812,. his father had eight frames above stairs— that a very considerable number of men came into the house, took the whole family and forced them into aback room, threatening that if they attempted to come out, they ( the rioters) would immediately take their lives; and that some of the men having broken one frame, that did not satisfy them, but one said to the others, Ned go up again and do the work com- plete : and that in consequence of thatjthey went up stairs, and the other seven frames were broken. " Now, Gentlemen, let us put the expressions together— one witness says, I know they, called themselves Luddites, but I do not know that I heard them say their General was Ludd; but, says he, I saw chalked upon the walls the name of General Ludd, from whom the Luddites must necessarily have taken their name. But let us look farther to the evidence— are we to suppose that the Executive Government had no grounds to pro- ceed upon when they issued the Proclamation which has been laid before yoii, and which recited the fact?— Are we to suppose that the Legislature had no ground to proceed upon when they declared that the existence of those outrages rendered it neces- sary to pass a very severe, though under the circumstances stated, a most proper Act of Parliament, subjecting the person guilty to a capital punishment, with a view to repress those outrages ?— But, in addition to this, Gentlemen, you will avail yourselves of any knowledge you may personally have upon this subject, for you are not required to lay that aside: it is beyond all doubt competent to you, if you have been witnesses of those scenes of outrage, to act upon that. But what are we to say of the very man himself, who comes forward aud bears testimony to these circumstances, when he writes the letter in question in the style and character of General Ludd, who3e name, so emphatically impressed upon your walls, struck terror into the breasts of the Nottingham manufacturers, by whom it was so well understood, and states that it was Ned, the eldest son of that General Ludd, who had committed the outrages ( as he describes them) to which his letter relates. " Gentlemen, it is said Mansfield is not in the neighbourhood of Nottingham. That may be very fairly called the neighbour- hood where there is a constant communication between the in. habitants, and where you find the same object pursued— the most desperate that was ever undertaken by any deluded and absurd set of men, because they do not feel how much they are the miserable instruments of men even more designing and more artful than themselves, and the certain destruction they inevita- bly draw down upon their heads, by that arm of the law, which is always strong enough to repress those outrages.— In respect, therefore, to the allegations of facts previous to the introduction of this libel, I would not degrade your understandings by the idei that you could acquit tiie defendant upon the ground that those evils, which we tremble to think of, did not exist. " Then, Gentlemen, the next allegation is, that there was an open and public war prosecuted and carried on between ' he King and his subjects and the United States of America— that has been proved to you by the production of the Proclamation ordering reprisals. ' - ' " The information then proceeds to state the libel, in which a, comparison is drawn between the conduct , of the British troops, who were at that time engaged in the war which is re- ferred to, and the individuals who were guilty of the greatest outrages in your neighbourhood— and we are distinctly told that the troops who are alluded to, have, by their conduct in Ame- rica, disgraced the honourable and proud name of Englishmen. Gentlemen, let any Briton ask his own heart, whether the con- duct of those brave men, acting in the execution of their duty, under the imperious command laid upon them, in attacking an enemy, and a most bitter enemy, in ttie parts in which he was most vulnerable, is to be compared with the conduct of those miserable and guilty men, who had spread devastation through a portion of their country.^— You, Gentlemen, have nothing to do but to look to the circumstances of the country with which you are acquainted, to form a correct judgment on a subject like this. " Gentlemen, I applaud, and I have heard with great pleasure the topics which have been addressed to you by the learned Gentleman, Counsel for the defendant, who has done himself honour in urging those topics, but he has failed in the applica- tion of them. 1 accede most fully to tile opinion of that great man, whose language you have heard. God forbid that free censure should not all times be exercised upon those who are concerned in the administration of the State, and who fill high offices in the various departments, Lot excepting myself, and those who stand in the same honourable situation. God forbid, that there should come any period, in which there should not be the most open and the most free discussion of the purity of conduct, and the rectitude of principle, of those who have cast upon them the great task ' of administering either the arms of the country, or its justice; but can that argument, be applied so as to justify that which lias been laid before you on the present occasion ? You will be governed by your honest opinion; but the law has rendered it my duty to express to' you the opinion I have formed ; and I have no sort of hesitation in pledging my most decided opinion, that no man, and indeed no child, can r^ ad this without seeing- m it the strongest marks of that which this information ascribes to it— the character of a malicious and seditious libel. " Gentlemen, it is said that this libel was published at a period when all those terrors which had overspread this part of the country had subsided, and that therefore it could have no view to promote them, for that they had passed off in the years 1811 and 1812. I do not wish to say very strong things, but that ra- ther appears to me to be an aggravation, because every man who hears me, knows that the spirit still lurked, although those who were disposed to be guilty of these outrages, were prevented by public indignation— by that feeling of horror which possessed the public mind— by the severity of the laws— by the general re- sentment of all his Majesty's subjects— by the determined cour- age of some of those whose property was attacked— yet we know, that the spark still lurking in the secret embers, might have been easily fanned into a flame again. I do not mean to say, th. it this publication did provoke the particular disorder, and the most aggravated outrage, which took place a short time af- ter it, but this was piit forth at a time, when, though the activity of riot and disorder was checked, it might have operated to en- courage some one to attempt a renewal of those mischiefs which the country had suffered, by weakening the public feel- ing against such acts. Was this a time to treat those outrages with levity ? Was this a time to represent the perpetrators of those horrible mischiefs in the character of this indiscreet son, Ned, who had been guilty of some indiscretion of conduct ? Was this a time to address to the people that light representation of the conduct which the people ofthis country regarded with horror, and which the law punished with the greatest severity? Was this a proper time, considering the whole tendency of the libel, to say, this indiscreet son of mine— this favourite Luddite, using the common name typifying the Luddites, as if by express nomination, for they were all his sons ? Ned has done— What ? Why he has committed outrages under the sanction of the su- preme authority of this country, which have rendered those acts, which we have been describing, the trifling misconduct of ail indiscreet young man, when compared with the atrocious act of plunderers and robbers and devastators, but which have been committed under the Royal authority, and the sanction of Government. u Gentlemen, give me leave to ask, is that fair censure? What is the meaning of it ? You are to look to the language. Can any man in theworld, standing in the situation of Editor of a public paper, be said to be contemplating a fair discussion, and a just reproof of the conduct of Ministers, when he represents those Ministers of the country as employing men to do a work in America, which has rendered all those outrages that have been committed here, trifles ? Isnot that calculated to giveen- couragement to these sort of people ? And we know how wil- lingly they listen to language which goes to sanction their illegal proceedings. Does not this tend to encourage them, by noctur- nal meetings, still to persevere ? How can they ' be but en- couraged by language such as this?— My son Ned has indeed quirted those little indiscreet practices he had been pursuing here, he has gone to America, and there he has been led on to outrages and private pillage, which exceed by far those in which he had been engaged in this country ; they bear no sort of com- parison, either in degree or atrocity, but they have been com- mitted under supreme orders from indisputable authority. " Gentlemen, it is said in the defence, that this is no com mendation, hat this libel expresses no approbation of thee'- oil- duct of the Luddites, but that on the contrary it is meant to express only censure of those who have employed our troops in America, and in effect to contemn the practices of the Luddites. Is it to condemn the practices of the Luddites? If it is to hold out. the Luddites to reprobation, by how. much stronger argument does it hold out to public detestation those- who had given and those who had. executed those orders to which it refers? So that, in every view, it appears to me to con- vey the strongest and the most malicious intention of injuring the Government of the country in the opinion of the people, and exciting them to acts of sedition and turbulence. " Gentlemen, it may perhaps be thought I have expressed myself rather strongly upon this subject; at the same time I have felt the occasion for it, and In conclusion I would state to you my honest opinion, that this is a libel— you are to form your own judgment, which I have no doubt you will do, with minds unfettered and unbiassed. And without further observation, I would only say, take this into your hands as men of sense.; and if you can consider it as a controversial discussion between the defendant and the printer of another paper, and if you conceive it to be nothing more, you will say the defendant is not guilty : but if you see in it a malicious intention to encourage the practices of those Who had been engaged in riot and disorder, and to bring the King's Government into contempt and odium, and that the defendant has not kept within those just bounds within which it is necessary for the public peace that those who take upon themselves to write should confine themselves: if you see tliat it has that tendency which is imputed to it, and that those epithets which are necessary to constitute this a seditious and malicious libel are fairly applied to it, you will, in that case, say the defendant is guilty. The Jury, after about a minute's consultation, returned a verdict of— Gun. nr. Counsel for the prosecution,. Mr. Clarke, and Mr. Serjeant Vaughan ; for the defendant, Mr. Denman, Mr. Ittader, and Mr. Phillips. _ • „, .. f , . .

LIBERTY OF THE PRESS. Amongst the second class of our privileges may be ranked the liberty of the press; which is MOW the birthright of every Briton, and justly esteemed the firmest bulwark both of the liberties and government of this country. By the liberty of the press is meant, the right which every subject of tiie British empire enjoys, not only to petition the King and both Houses of Parliament; but also to lay his opinions and complaints before his fellow subjects, by means of an open press. This privilege, certainly not is old as our Constitution, was obtained by the English nation at a late period of its history, and was* tile result of great struggle and exertion. Freedom was in many other respects confirmed; when the liberty of the subject to express his sentiments freely, either in writing or speaking, was shackled with very considerable restraints. The liberty allowed by the Constitution, and the discord- ancy of party, having created a propensity in Englishmen for political - conversation and writing, the conduct and mea- sures of the King and Ministry began soon to be generally canvassed with great freedom in every coffee- room and tap- house throughout the kingdom. But so lately, as the year 1675, the coffee- houses being the scenes of much seditious discourse, were suppressed by the proclamation of King Charles II. The legality of this proceeding, however, being doubted, the proclamation, upon a petition of the coffee- men, was re- called. And politics are now discussed in all places of public resort with as much safety, though not with equal wisdom, as in the Senate. The severity of the Court of Star Chamber was very great against all who presumed to write on political subjects. And a very effectual restraint was put upon printing by that dreadful tribunal, when it limited the number of printers and printing presses, and appointed a licenser, without whose approbation no book could be published. Subsequent to the abolition of that Court, the long Parlia- ment, after their rupture with the King, assumed the same power over the press ; which was continued also during the whole of the Protectorate. If a legal Governor fear a free discussion of his conduct; much more will an Usurper dread an enquiry, that may not only question the wisdom of his measures, but dispute his title to the throne. The republican ordinances, with regard to the press, were revived by an Act two years after the Restoration ; and by a similar statute in the reign of James II. These Acts expired in 1692; but were renewed for two years longer, although posterior to the Revolution. For even King William and his Ministers did not conceive that by the freedom of the press, the minds of men would be so enlightened as to render it safe to trust them with so great an indulgence. They saw nothing like this species of liberty under any other government, in any age of the world; and therefore doubted very much of its taiutary effects. At length, however, the Parliament refused to grant any further prohibitions; and all restraints upon the liberty of the press were finally removed in 1694. But it is obvious that this liberty may be employed by wicked men, to the worst of purposes. It may easily be made the vehicle of poisoning the mind, and contaminating the public morals; or rendered the sharpened instrument of private revenge. The same laws, therefore, which protect every man's per- « on and property, equally defend his reputation from the malevolence of a writer; who although too much of a cow- ard to make an open attack upon his neighbour's person, may cruelly wound him through an anonymous publication. " The freedom of the press is secured by allowing every man to publish without the previous controul of a licenser, that which in his judgment he shall think fit to communicate ( othe public; but he does it at his peril, being responsible to individuals whom he may injure, or to the public whose peace he may disturb. Subject to that responsibility, and to that risk, every man may publish what he pleases:— but if every one were to publish without the fear of punishment what his malice might suggest, or what his falsehood might direct to be said to the prejudice of another, no man would have his good fame, the most estimable blessing iu life, in any degree of security."* The liberty of the press, then, consists simply in this; that neither the Courts of Justice, nor any other Judges whatever, can lawfully take any notice of writings intended for publica- tion ; but only of those that are actually published; and even in these cases, they must proceed in the trial by Jury. On indictments for libels, that is, for satires, defamations, or lampoons, the province of the jury is to determine on the point of law, as well as on the matter of fact. Iu other words, to decide, not only whether the writing in question has been writen by the person charged with having done it, and whether it be really meant of the person named in the indictment; but also whether the contents be crimiual or not. The sending of an abusive private letter, it, in the eye of the law, as much a libel as if it were openly printed; became juch a communication has a direct tendency to disturb the public peace. And it may be remarked generally with re- gard to criminal prosecutions for libels, that it is of no im- portance whether the matter of them be true or false, since the guilt of the libeller consists in the provoking of another to break the public peace; and it is obvious, that this may often be as easily done by publishing a truth as a falsehood. Indeed it is this very circumstance that constitutes a publi- cation even of facts respecting foreign governments and ma- gistrates, a libel. For two nations at peace with each other, mav readily be provoked to actual hostilities by the inconsi- derate conduct of individuals, who by their publications choose to vilify foreign powers. Hence it has recently been laid down as law by the highest authority, " that any publi- cation which tends to degrade, revile, aud defame " persons in considerable situations of power and dignity in foreign countries, may be taken to be and treated as a libel; and particularly where it has a tendency to interrupt the amity and peace between the two countries." f The advantages of a well- regulated free press are very great. The daily intelligence which is communicated through it to every town and village in the kingdom, puts the in- habitants in possession of the measures of Government, the speeches of Senators, the charges of Judges, and the verdicts of Juries. " The publishing of the proceedings of Courts, answers most salutary purposes, aud if Judges act wrong their proceedings ought to be published. If the press were to be gagged, no man can tell were it would end." J By means of it, the whole island is at once made acquainted with every circumstance that may endanger any of its privileges; and » uch a co- operation may be suddenly formed iu bringing for- ward the legal means of redress, that it must at all times be extremely difficult, as well as hazardous, for public men to violate the fixed principles of the Constitution. Hence, every man entrusted with official employment, from the Minister of State down to the Chairman of the Quarter Sessions, or the Chief Magistrate of a Corporation ; from the Commander in Chief down to the Non- commissioned Officer ; from the First lord of the Admiralty down to the Master's Mate, feels him- » elf compelled to choose between the satisfaction resulting from a conscientious discharge of his duty, and the disgrace and ruin which must almost iuevitably follow a wilful neglect of it. The liberty of the press is exceedingly conducive to the diffusion of general knowledge. Every kind of truth is here- by greatly promoted. Nothing is lost by free investigation; on the contrary, that which is valuable is made more conspi- cuous and attracting by candid discussion. Truth, like hard- ened steel, is inflexible; and the more it is rubbed, the brighter polish it receives. But this palladium of our civil and religious liberties may be shamefully abused to the base purpose of promoting licen- tiousness, obscenity, and blasphemy. The press, therefore, is to be watched, lest men, in proposing their opinions to the public, should obtrude such as are inconsistent with good government and the interests of religion. Indeed, the state which does not seasonably check the licentiousness of the press, would afford an opportunity to libellists to endanger the public tranquillity. But whilst the propriety of vigilance is acknowledged, we'have reason to rejoice, that the censor- ship is removed from the arbitrary " Court of Star Chamber," and placed in the hands of twelve of our equals. The liberty of the press is a privilege justly dear to every Englishman; and ought to be the more highly prized by him, as he enjoys that which no other government in Europe tolerates. § " How shall I speak thee, or thy pow'r address, « Thou god of our idolatry— the press ? « By thee, religion, liberty, and laws, " Exert their influence, and advance their cause; • i By thee, worse plagues than Pharaoh's land befel « ' Diffus'd, make earth the vestibule of hell: " Thou fountain, at which drink the good and wise, « ' Thou ever- bubbling spring of endless lies, 441. ike Eden's dread probationary tree, 41 Knowledge of good and evil is from thee." j| No tyrannical government, indeed, could possibly long continue with a free press; and therefore, the very exist- ence of this privilege amongst us is a proof of the streiigth and stability of the British Executive Power; which is found by experience, to admit of that extensive freedom both of writing and speaking on political as well as on all other sub- jects, which Englishmen enjoy. The law, however, will punish all who are convicted of libelling any part of the Con- stitution; which, indeed, is founded upon principles so wise and just, that the Government has none but a salutary dread of the free discussion of all its measures. This important and unrivalled privilege of the British press is not the effect of any statute enacting it, but arises rather from the absence of all law, prohibiting it; and it may in fact be very fitly considered as a part of the common law of the land. STEAM FRIGATE.— The American Papers of last month con- tain an account of an experiment for moving a ship of war by steam, which has been made at New York. To comme- morate the name of the inventor of steam navigation, she is called Fulton the First. The experiment is stated to have been successful. A New York paper thus boastingly describes what passed on the occasion :— " She proceeded majestically into the river, though a stiff breeze from the South blew directly a- head. She stemmed the current with perfect ease, as the tide ran a strong ebb. She sailed by the forts and saluted them with her 32- pound guns. Her speed was equal to the most sanguine expectation. The intention of the Commissioners being solely to try her machinery, no use was made of her sails. " It is now ascertained, by actual experiment, that this grand invention, in war and the arts, will realise all the hopes of its warmest friends. Our Government may be proud that the trial has been made under their auspices. Our enemies may tremble at the tremendous power thus armed against them. Every harbour in the United States has now the means of protecting itself against a stronger maritime force. All the ports of the weaker European nations may, henceforward, secure themselves against the attacks of their foes, how formidable so ever at sea. " After navigating the bay, and receiving a visit from the officers of the French ship of war, lying at her anchors, the steam frigate came to near the Powiess hook ferry, about two o'clock, without having experienced a single occurrence." THE BATTLE OF WATERLOO.— A party of gentlemen recently returned to town from a visit to the scene of the late battles in Flanders, relate the following anecdotes :— A British officer, who was made prisoner in the battle of the 16th, was brought before Buonaparte for examination. Being asked by Buonaparte " Who commands the cavalry ?" he was answered " Lord Uxbridge." " No, Paget," replied Buonaparte. The officer then explained that they meant the same person, and Buonaparte nodded assent. He was then asked," Who commanded in chief?" and was answered, " the Duke of Wellington ;" upon which he observed, " No, that cannot be, for he is sick." It seems that his Grace had re- ceived a fall from his horse, on the 14th, and was reported to be indisposed in consequence, and Buonaparte had received intelligence to that effect. The conversation continued in this line for a considerable time, during which Buonaparte shewed himself perfectly acquainted with the strength and position of the several divisions of the allied armies, and the names of their several Commanders. As they were successively men- tioned, Buonaparte'occasionally remarked, " Oh ! yes, that division cannot be up in time."— This division cannot be up in a day," and so on. Among his papers, taken after the battle of Waterloo, was a list of eighty inhabitants of Brussels, whose persons and property were to be respected by the French army on its en- trance into that city. Among these was a F. emish Noble- man, who had prepared a splendid supper for Buonaparte on the 18th. Of the remainder, several had prepared entertain- ments on the same day for his principal officers. Of this junta, the Nobleman, who was to have been Buonaparte's host, has fled. The others remained at Brussels on Saturday last, ap- parently without fear, although it is well known that the King of the Netherlands i9 in possession of the list. It is also certain, that several Proclamations were found among the papers of Buonapate addressed from Brussels, Lecken, & c. all prepared in confident expectation of his success on the 18th, the capture of Brussels, and his irruption into Flanders and Holland. With every possible diligence and care that could be U6cd, many of the wounded lay two days upon the field of battle be. fore their wounds were dressed and they could be removed. The preference was, of course, given to our gallant heroes, and a peremptory order was issued to that effect. Many days after the battle, the fields of Waterloo continued to present great numbers of poor persons, particularly females, seeking for plunder. Every rag was searched, in expectation it could produce gold or silver lace, or money. Among the most com- mon spoils, were the eagles worn on the front of the caps of some of the French regiments. These, when broken off, were sold at Brussels for about two francs each. Among the French killed and wounded, were observed an immense number of letters from friends, relatives, and lovers, who have to lament their loss.

A most gratifying piece of intelligence is contained in a dispatch from Paris, by Mr. Peautaz, the Commissioner Ge- neral of the Prussian Government; in which Mr. Peautaz states, that he had required from M. Denon, the Director of the French Museum, the restoration of all the different works of art carried away from any of the cities or territories which now belong to the King of Prussia; and that in consequence he was occupied in emptying the Museum of all such goods. The celebrated picture by Rubens, of the crucifixion of Peter, will immediately, in consequence, be sent back to Cologne, and put in its former situation.— This is as it should be, so far as it goes; but we have farther to press upon the Allies the duty which they owe to the entire family of Europe, to have re- stored to all owners the fruits of the robberiesand requisitions of the French. There is a pleasant story told of Prince Blucher.— It is, that he visits the Louvre with a catalogue in his hand, in which the galleries from whence the pictures are taken are stated—" From the Dusseldorff Gallery 1"—" O yes— I recol- lect it— take it down;" and the veteran has the picture or pictures taken down at once. A CARD.— John Bull presents his most respectful compli- ments to Prince Blucher, begs him to use no ceremony, but to consider himself at home, and make perfectly free at Paris, where John Bull assures him he is perfectly welcome.— Dated Isle of Albia, July, 18J5. The Parisians say that they did not steal their works of art, they only received them; but let them remember Swift's famous translation of King William's motto—( recepi non rapuiJ—" the receiver is as bad as the thief!" The policy of the French King has been said to resemble that of a maiden lady, who, having been rudely assaulted by a gentleman, allowed him to walk home with her. On being asked, how she ventured on such a proceeding? She answer- ed, " I meant to surprise him by my— confidence." It will form a singular trait of conversation, when Brother Joseph and Jerome Buonaparte are wandering about the world as paupers, to hear them say—" J was Xing of Spain," and " I was Xing of Westphalia" The Parisians hope to gain the ear of Alexander by their flatteries, differing in this from the army, who sought the ears of the Prussians with their knives. The following circular has been issued from the War Office, signed Palmerston, addressed to Inspecting Field Officers of Recruiting Districts:— " Sir,— I have the honour to acquaint you, that in conse- quence of the Act of the 52 Geo. III. chap. 38, having repeal- ed so much of 50 Geo. III. chap. 25, as relates to the Local Militia of England, the men of the latter corps enlisting into the Regulars or Militia are to receive full bounty, without any deduction on account of the sum received by them on being enrolled in the Loral Militia." Orders have been recently issued to allow innkeepers to charge for soldiers on their march, ls. 5d. a day for cavalry, and Is, 5d. a day for infantry. EXTRACTS FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS. By a letter from Davoust, as Commander in Chief, to the Commander of the army of the Loire, it appears, that the submission of the army, instead of being complete and un- conditional as represented, was in fact the result of a com- promise between them and the King, by which the latter en- gages that the army shall not be dissolved, and that no officer, nor any person in public employment, shall be dismissed or prosecuted for his conduct or opinions ! A great and gene- ral alarm prevails in France, in consequence of a belief that the Allies meditate the seizure of the frontier towns, and to retain parts of Alsace and Lorraine; and the manner in which Davoust expresses himself or. the necessity of all parties unit- ing, shews that feeling to be predominant with him also. Commissioners have been dispatched into La Vendee to dis- seminate the belief that it is the dismemberment of France which the Allies intend; and it is reported, that M. Talley- rand, knowing that it was the predetermined intention of some of the Allies to deprive France of her frontier towns, recommended to the King the choice of a Ministry that should preserve to him the armies, and unite all descriptions of people. It is reported that the Allies are themselves divided in senti- m ent as to the best course to be pursued. Arrests in the capital take place frequently; and it is said, that some conspirators of rank will be brought to justice. General Reilly is held in close custody by the Prussians. Paris continues to be agitated by frequent disturbances oc- casioned by the partisans of Napoleon. Several National Guards have been wounded in attempting to repress them. A sanguinary battle is said to have been fought between Prince Wrede and the French, on the 17th. between Chalons and Nancy, in which th? enemy were totally defeated. The loss on both sides is stated at 14,000 men. The corps under Prince Wrede has reached the environs of Paris. This force, with a part of the Russian army under Barclay de Tolly, was to proceed towards the Loire. The Lyons paper of the 15th contains the convention by which that city was surrendered to the Allies. The French army is to be stationed upon the Loire. The garrison of Va- lenciennes, under General Rey, surrendered to the King on the 15th. Conde still holds out. Clausel still keeps Bourdeaux in a state of ferment, and de- clares that no alteration shall be made in the course of the civil and military operations, but by orders issued by the Prince of Eckmuhl, Davoust, thus impudently avowing in almost so many words, that the authority of the Prince of Eckmuhl is with him a superior one to that of the King, from whom only it could be derived. Lucien, Jerome, and Joseph Buonaparte are said to have been arrested. The Gazette de France state*, that Joseph Buonaparte is to be sent to Russia; Jerome to Prussia; Lucien to England; Louis to Austria ; Madame La: titia and Fesch to Rome; and M. llortense to Switzerland. Letters from ltochefort, dated the 12th, contain the follow- ing particulars, on the authenticity of which we have reason to rely:— " Since the beginning of the present month, 11 English ships have blockaded the port of Rochefort with such vigi- lance, as to render it difficult for the smallest vessel to escape. Napoleon, to satisfy himself as to the disposition of the English fleet, embarked on the 8th on board the Saale, one of the frigates which were to convey him to North America. Next day he sent Gen. Bertrand in a boat to the English Admiral, to ask a free passage for his frigates ; but the Admiral, so far from granting his request, declared that he would attack the moment they should attempt to leave the port. He added, however, that if Napoleon Buonaparte would be inclined to come on board his ship, he would receive him with every re- spect ; that he would sail with him for England ; aud that he had no doubt but that the British Government would after- wards conyey him ( Napoleon) wherever he might intimate his desire to go. Though this reply did not perfectly square with the projects of the Ex- Emperor, he immediately declared that he above all things preferred relying upon English ho- nour ; and that, besides, he would not risk the lives of the crews of the two frigates in endeavouring to effect a passage in spite of . the vigilance of the cruising squadron. Soon after he embarked in a small flag of truce, and went on board the English Admiral. He has not since been seen to return. It is merely known that the ship was to sail on the 12th, and iu fact we have lost sight of her since day- break. " Joseph Buonaparte had not left Rochefort on the morn- ing of the 12th."— Gazette de Paris. PARIS, July 19.— Ourarticle of yesterday, which announced the departure of Buonaparte, was dated Rochefort, the 12th, but he did not sail until the 14th. It is a fact, that Napoleon went on board the Bellerophon on the 12th, but the embark- ing of his suite and baggage occupied two days, and he did not sail until the morning of the 14th. The Minister of Ma- rine received last night the official account of the departure of Buonaparte, and of the persons accompanying him. Tile following are some additional details:—" On the 8th, Count Grogan went on board the Saale, to announce that Buonaparte would embark next day, but a courier hastened his departure. At four Buonaparte left Rochefort, a boat took him to Fouras, and carried him on board. On the approach of the boat the crew cried thrice, Vive I'Empereur ! He desired them to be silent. He remained some time on board, walking with his hands behind his back, in a plain coat, and then went below. The 9th, the Maritime Prefect came on board, and after sa- luting the Emperor, locked himself up with General Beker and the Captain of the vessel. It was remarked, that he did not at parting take leave of Buonaparte. After the departure of the Prefect, M. Bertrand and Rovigo went on board the English ship, and remained there some hours. Monday morning an English ship moored near the frigates. Buona- parte is the only member of his family on board."— Gazette de France. " It would appear that the arrest of Buonaparte was pre- pared with great skill. It would have been alike dangerous to have arrested him too soon, or otherwise than he was ar- rested; it was even necessary that he should think himself free, and that the surveillance of which he was the object, should be perceived neither by himself nor others. Incapa- citated after his abdication, from renewing the contest with any hope of success, he might nevertheless have caused great calamities, by following the advice of some madmen. The interests of humanity, therefore, required that a great deal of address and management should be exercised towards him. It was thus that he was conducted to Rochefort without noise. He remained several days in the roads, having his spy- glass perpetually fixed on the fatal English squadron, and unable to find the means of escape. Thrice he put back to Roche- fort, but each time he perceived that he was not less vigorously watched on the land side; and as it at last became necessary to resolve on something, he preferred surrendering himself to the English."— Journal des Debats. PARIS, July 20.— It is now known what answers the De- puties sent by the Provisional Government, to treat for peace and solicit an armistice, received from the Allied Cabinet. According to an article in the Vienna Court Gazette it was as follows:— " IIAGUENAU, July 1.—" The Three Powers regard as an essential condition of peace and of durable tranquillity, that Napoleon Buonaparte shall be put out of a state to trouble, by any chance, the repose of France and of Europe; and after the events which occurred in the month of March last, the Allied Powers expect that his person will be delivered into their keeping. " WAIMODEN— CAPo D'ISTRJA— KNESBECK." This answer being communicated to Messrs. Laforct, Pon- tecoulant, Sebastiani, La Fayette, Constant, and D'Argenson, they transmitted it to the Provisional Government. Upon its coming to the knowledge of Napoleon Buonaparte, he de- manded passports and frigates to convey him to America, which were granted ; but he was watched by his former ac- complices, and the result is known. Lucien Buonaparte is stated to have been arrested between Lyons and Grenoble, and conducted to Turin. The wife of Louis, and another lady, Madame Souza, who were impli- cated in the late conspiracy, have been ordered to quit France. La Vallette, ex- administrator of the Post Office, and also one of the conspirators, has been arrested. It would appear, as if the intelligence of the capture of Buonaparte had acted very powerfully upon the French Go- vernment, and had encouraged them to measures to which they were previously reluctant. The French Papers of the 17th contain an ordinance, that the National Guard ( the Mu- nicipal Militia) should every where be put into equipment and activity, and should be entrusted exclusively with the defence of the national tranquillity. This has an appearance, as if the Government had resolved to act more vigorously towards the army. And indeed, the French Papers insinuate this when they assert— that in a Council of the Ministers, held upon that day, a most important resolution had been adopted. Bouchain and Soissons have hoisted the white flag. Douay is now occupied for the King. In several other quarters, however, the disaffection of the soldiery, who fear that the new order of things may endanger their craft, mani- fests itself in serious commotions. The fate of their champion will probably hasten the period of their reluctant submission. The reports respecting the army of the Loire are contra- dictory. According to one, it has broken up from its can- tonments on the Loire, passed that river, and marched to wards the province of Burgundy. In this attempt it is said to have come in contact with the Austrian army. But a let- ter from Orleans, dated the 19th, and which seems to con- tain the latest advices, is quoted, which mentions, that Mar- shal Davoust caused, on the preceding day, the white flag to be raised on the barrier, on the middle of the bridge which separates the two armies. The last Paris journals hazard some conjectures respecting a Treaty, which they say is concluded, and which is to fix the repose of Europe. France is to preserve her political inte- grity, such as it was established by the Treaty of Paris. The allied armies are to begin, on the 25th of August, to evacuate her territory, with the exception of Certain corps, who are to remain until internal tranquillity be completely re- established. [ We suppose they will occupy certain fortresses ; but the idea of keeping them in the interior of the country would be ob- jectionable, as it would only tend to keep the French, during the time, in the highest state of inflammation. But retaining the fortresses as a guarantee for the fulfilment of certain con- ditions, cannot encounter the same objections. France is to pay a war contribution of four yearly instalments; and this is perhaps one of the rights of victory which is least degrad- ing to a vanquished nation.] The French funds declined, in the course of two days, six per cent, aud on Thursday last they were 10 per cent, lower than on the day of the King's entry. A French paper contains a letter from Mons, dated the 14th instant, in which the following shocking picture is given of the condition and conduct of the French wounded at Water- loo and left on the field of battle:—" It is only four days since the burying of the dead bodies with which the field of battle of Mont St. Jean was strewed. Several thousand carts had teen put in requisition for this operation in the depart- ment of Jenappe. After the lapse of ten, twelve, and even fifteen days, there were found among the dead carcasses great numbers of wounded, who, impelled by madness or hunger, had eat of the bodies of the men and horses that surrounded them. When I say madness— because there were some of them who even then cried, in their dying agonies,' Vive CEm- pereur,' as they were raised up by the persons engaged in the removal— that is to say, long live the man who conducted us to this carnage, who left us behind him in his flight, without caring whether we were dead or living— long live the man who, without pity, without feeling, left us to expire tediously on a field of battle, without recommending us to the huma- nity of a single person, while the wounded of the other armies were attended to with so much precaution and anxiety." The King recently asked the Duke of Wellington his age: " Sire, I was bom in 1768."—" And Buonaparte also," replied his Majesty; " Providence gave also the antidote," The celebrated bull, Comet, which was purchased at the Ketton Sale in October, 1810, for lOOOgs. by Messrs. Trot- ter, Wetherell, Charge, and Wright, died on Monday last, at Cleasby, Yorkshire. On Wednesday week, a poor woman at Bodlam, in Sussex, who was at work in a field, laid her child under a hedo- e to sleep, when an adder crawled down the throat of the infant and caused its immedate death. A short time since one of the apprentices on board the Cicero transport, then lying at Lisbon, was discovered to be a female, of about 17 years of age, who had left her friends at Brighton about four months, and during which time she had undergone every fatigue and duty common to sea apprentices. After the circumstance became known, she proved to be in love with one of the seamen ; and on Saturday they were married in Portsmouth.— The name of the adventurous fair one was Sarah Oram— the man, J. Scott. ROYAL IMPOSITION.— It is recorded of that amiable Prince John, that being in want of cash, he extorted money front the Jews. One of them refusing to comply, was ordered to have a tooth beaten out every day till he paid 10,000 marks. Seven of his teeth were accordingly struck out in seven days} and on the eighth, to save his grinders, he paid the full sum ! His Royal Highness the Duke of Kent is preparing to visit the Continent for some years, with the view of diminishing his establishment, and thereby producing a fund for the li- quidation of his embarrassments. Mr. Brougham is elected M. P. for Winchelsea, in the room of Mr. Vane Powlett, who is a candidate for Durham; and the Hon. W. Waldegrave, of Cardington, son- in- law of the late Mr. Whitbread, is elected M. P. for Bedford. The Rev. Thomas Wood Simpson, A. M. Fellow of Wor- cester College, Oxford, has been presented by Earl Fitzwil- liam to the rectory of Thurnscoe, near Doncaster, vacant by the death of the Rev. John Parker, late of York. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. At Stafford assizes, Daniel Douglas, for forging a bill of ex- change, is left for execution. At Oxford, James Bannister, pleaded guilty to the murder of his wife, and was hanged on Monday week". At Winchester, Wm. Rossett, I). Hays, and J. White, for burglaries : Wm. White, for personating a seaman, in order to obtain his wages; John Hewett, for stabbing J. Bridle, re- ceived sentence of death : White and Hewett are to be exe- cuted o » the 22d inst. the others reprieved. John Millard, for stealing 1 cwt. of gunpowder, the property of his Majesty, and Mr. Horton ( who was, from the year 1807, till April last, assistant quarter- master at the army depdt iu the Isle of Wight, and, as such, had the expenditure of several sums of the pub- lic money) for having, by a fraudulent account, obtained in one instance » £ 100 more than he had expended ; were sen- tenced to 7 years' transportation. Mr. Graham, chief clerk in the Paymaster's office, was found guilty of a conspiracy with Horton, in effecting various frauds. At these Assizes was tried the following cause, peculiarly interesting to bankers: GRANT AND OTHERS V. ALEXANDER.— The question was, as to the legality of bankers charging the interest on monies ad- vanced, and commission on business done, half yearly, placing the same to the debit of their customers' account, and includ- ing such interest as part of the principal for the ensuing half year, on the termination of which the interest was charged on that sum. The Counsel for the defendant argued, that in- terest upon interest was illegal, and that the commission charged by Messrs. Grant and Co. was exorbitant; but it was held that it was not interest upon interest, and as to commis- sion it was necessary that a reasonable compensation for transacting the business in question should be made, and that bankers ought to be paid for the trouble and expence they were put to. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, for the amount of the balance due from Mr. Alexander. LINCOLN ASSIZES.— William Chapman, for stealing two- pence from Eliz. Johnson, a girl of 11 years old, and abusing and putting her in fear of her life, was sentenced to death. Thomas Clarke and Henry Coster, for a burglary in the shop of Thomas Elderkin, of Pinchbeck, were both found guilty and received sentence of death.— Thomas Welldon, for steal- ing sundry articles from a shop at Spilsby, to be transported seven years.— George Houdlass, for stealing a mare, received sentence of death, but was reprieved.— Robert Fox was found guilty of stealing a new silk handkerchief from Edward Col- net, during the sitting of the Court, in Lincoln Castle, and was sentenced to be transported for life.— Eliza Colney, for steal- ing sundry articles from a shop in Lincoln, to be imprisoned six months. The two prisoners, Clarke and Coster, and the young chimney sweeper, Wm. Chapman, for abusing the person of the girl, are ordered to be executed at Lincoln, at 12 o'clock this day ( Friday). HUNTINGDON ASSIZES.— William Bates ( aged 35,) and Sarah Bates ( aged 33), found guilty of a burglary and robbery iu the house of Wm. Bass, at Abbot Ripton, received sentence of death, but were reprieved before the Judges left town ; Leonard Harris ( aged 29), was found guilty of stealing lead from Fenstanton church, and sentenced to two years' con- finement in the House of Correction; Letitia Layton ( aged 27), was found guilty of concealing the birth of her bastard child, and sentenced to one year's imprisonment in the House of Correction. There was only one Nisi Prius cause, which was undefended. The trial of the persons for riotously ob- structing the Commissioners of the Property Tax at St. Ives, in December last, and which excited considerable interest, did not come on these assizes, for want of the attendance of the special jury named between the parties to try the cause, and it consequently remains over for trial at the next assizes. At the Norwich county sessions, John Goodwin was con- victed, under the 52d of Geo. III. c. 155, of disturbing Mr. Lake, the preacher of a licensed Methodist chapel, at Ormsby, and his congregation, on Sunday the 5th of February, by fre- quent interruption during their devotions, so that the congre- gation was obliged to break up. Thedefendant was sentenced to pay a penalty of ^ 20. A coroner's inquest was on Wednesday held upon the bodies of the unfortunate persons killed by the overturning of the Coventry and Leicester coach. From the evidence produced before the Jury, we learn, that at the time of the melancholy accident, there were five passengers upon the out- side of the coach, and four within. The lady was a Miss Page, a respectable Member of the Society of Friends at Lei- cester; the other passenger who was killed was a gentleman's servant of the name of Daniel Smith. Mary Storer, of Hinck- ley, an inside passenger, had her collar- bone broken ; and an outside passenger of the name of Bishop, a straw hat manu- facturer of Leicester, had his arm and thigh broken, and was otherwise much injured— he is, however, still alive. So vio- lent was the concussion, that the coach was thrown from the post against which it struck to the opposite one, dashing the body to pieces, and precipitating all the passengers out. The horses galbpped off with the wheels, and were not stopped until they reached the next toll gate Verdict, " occasioned by the furious driving of the coachman."— Deodand 501. By the statute, 50th Geo. 3d. c. 48, every driver of a public stage coach, who, by INTOXICATION, FURIOUS DRIVING, OR OTHER MISCONDUCT, shall endanger the safety of the passengers in their lives, their limbs, or their property, shall be liable to a penalty of ten pounds, and, on non- payment, to six months imprison ment. It is greatly to be lamented that so few informations have hitherto been laid under this Act. It is, however, confidently hoped, after the melancholy consequences resulting from mis- conduct of coachmen, exhibited by this dreadful occurrence, that every individual, whatever his rank or station, will dis- card the false delicacy which would prevent his assisting to suppress so crying an evil. It is also to be regretted, that the punishment provided by the Act is not more adequate to the oflence ; but the offenders should recollect that they may also be proceeded against by indictment, as for a public nuisance, in which case the powers of the Court in awarding punish- ment will not be so circumscribed. The Magistrates of Leicester, with a degree of attention and promptitude reflecting the highest credit upon them, have strictly commanded the constables and other peace officers of that borough, to give information in all cases which may come to their knowledge, and that if any one shall be found to have witnessed this sort of misconduct in any coachman, and not give information, he shall be removed from his office, as un- worthy of the trust reposed in him.
