lllPf PRINTED AND PUBLISHED, FOR Tlir ETORS, BY G. F. HARRIS. vol , XI. No. 555. — v. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1811. Pi ICE SIX- PENCE HALI'PE> NY. WEDNESDAY'S POST. LONDON, TUESDAY, OCT. 15. SATURDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. ADMIRALTY- OFFICE, OCT. 12. VICE- Admiral Sir E. Pellew lias transmitted to J. AV. Croker, Esq. a letter from Capt. Sibly, of his Majesty's sloop Swallow, giving an account of his having, on the 26th of July last, captured off' the coast of Sicily, La Bella Genoise, French privateer, of two 9- pounders and 37 men. A letter from Capt. Carteret, of his Majesty's ship the Naiad, gives an arromit of bis having, on the 6tli instant, captured off Treport, the French lugger privateer Milan, armed with 16 guns, only two mounted, and 52 men, out that morning from Dieppe. Last night a mail arrived from Cadiz, which has brought intelligence to the 2d instant. A dispatch from Balla- teros gives an account of his victory at Ximena. Very considerable advantages are antici- pated from the future operations of this enterprising General. The accounts from every other part of Spain are favourable. A Spanish paper gives a state- ment of the loss which the French bave sustained in Spain, by which it appears that Bonaparte sacrifices annually " in the war of the Peninsula, 110,000 lives I This is certainly an exaggerated estimate. It is stat- ed that Sonlt remained ill Seville on the 22d ultimo. The Generals of the 5th and 6th Spanish armies have found it necessary to address a proclamation to the leaders of the Guerillas in their respective districts, to warn them against the arts of the French, who have been endeavouring to seduce these active parti- sans by false representations. It is said that a Polish Colonel, taken by BattasterOs, is the same officer who made Lord Blaney prisoner. Some hopes are entertained at Cadiz that the siege of that city will be raised, in consequence of the movements of General Eallasteros. Iu the mean while, the operations of the siege languish, as if by mutual consent. Trade is dull, but the people look forward to better times. No trace of the fever had made its appearance, but the utmost precautions were taken to prevent any communication with ships coming from infected ports. Letters from Alicant, of the 8th ult. state, that tbe epidemic still raged at Cartbagena, and that it had spread to some of the adjacent villages. The sickness bad, however, considerably abated at Elche. By a vessel arrived from Corunna, advices have been received that a new force of 5000 men has been raised in the province of Asturias, under the command of General Abadia. They are said to consist chiefly of peasantry, and it is added that they eagerly entered the service. Arms only for a part of the new levies could be procured, and the portion thus provided had marched andjoint- d the army of Gallieia in the vicinity of Astorea. The OtKrer « employed under Abadia, engaged with the detached parties, have been of signal service to the British aud Portuguese nriir . c » ' t':. g supplies of provisions. We arc told that an immense booty has been marie by the Patriots, among which is a large quantity < « f corn, some accoutrements, ami a considerable sum of money. General Abadia, with the main body, had not undertaken any offensive operations. The Spanish Generals, Lacy and Sarsfield, lately descended the Pyrenees, and with 6000 men entered the French territory; after levying contributions to a considerable amount, and collecting 500 horses, they returned to their former ground with the whole of their booty. To prevent the molestation of the French inhabitants, ihe Generals threatened to shoot ten Spanish soldiers for every Frenchman assassinated. Bonaparte, it is said, has required of tile King of Prussia to give up the fortresses of Colberg and Grau- dentz, and which the latter has refused: if persisted in, war between France and Prussia and Russia may be considered as inevitable. Accounts have been received from Sicily of the lst September, by which we are informed that the Court of Palermo have sent a courier overland with dis- patches to England, in order to reach this before Lord William Bentinek should arrive;— as he has not arrived, it is conjectured be has been interrupted ou llis route. We have received Momtenrs and other Fans journals, to the 9th inst. The most interesting part of their contents relates to the war between the Russians and the Turks. The latter have obtained possession of the islands of the Danube, ill the neigh- bourhood of Rudschnck, and appear to be greatly superior to the Russians. A further account is given of Bonaparte's tour, and an article from Amsterdam details the preparations that are making there for his reception. Triumphal arches are erecting, and inge- nuity seems on the stretch to leave no mode of flattery unemployed. Perhaps the Dutch think, tiiat splen- did shows will best hide the disgust they cannot bat feel at the sight of a man w hob as robbed them of their freedom and of their national name. These papers say not a word respecting the affairs of the Peninsula. We understand, however, that letters from tbe French coast state, that reports had been received there of a battle in Spain, which lasted several days. Bonaparte was so clearly visible in the affair of gun boats bv our Officers' glasses, that not only every part of his " dress, but his irritable actions, were plainly distinguished. He wore that day a blue coat, with scarlet cuffs and collar, a pair of nankin pantaloons over half boots, a plain cocked hat, without any cockade, and a silk handkerchief round bis neck. They represent his figure as very flashy, particularly downwards. He was certainly within the range of our shot for some time, and was observed to be giving directions to his Officers on board his barge with considerable emotion. Calcutta papers, to the 7th of May, have arrived in town. We learn from them, that the Straits of Malacca were to be the general rendezvous of the forces from the several- Presidencies composing the expedition against Batavia. All the ships from Cal- cutta, with ( tie exception of one transport, had got to sea ; and the accounts from tiie other Presidencies shew that, they are equally forward. The Lion man of wJr, for whose safety some apprehensions were entertained some time back, had reached her desti- nation ; and - his Excellency Sir Gore Ouseiey had landed at Bushire. The Lion, on her passage up the Gtilph of Persia, with a country vessel under her con- voy,' fell in with a squadron ( if we may so call it) of 12 Jowassemy pirates, who drew up in a line near the island of Bushire, as if to oppose their progress; but having ascertained the force of the Lion, imme- diately sought their safety in flight.— Th& e papers an- nonce that" his Highness Monee Codheen, second son of Tippoo Sultan, on being detected in attempting to make his escape, shot himself with a fowling piece. The Prince Regent, wit!) a numerous staff, is ex- pected to set off in a few days, on a tour of military inspection through the county of Kent. The Prince Regent, on the recommendation of the Lord Lieuteuanf, has promoted Doctor Hall, Pro- vost of Trinity College, Dublin, to the vacant see of Dromore, Ireland; and the Rev. Dr. Elrington, we understand, succeeds to the Provostship of that University. The competition for the preachership of Gray's- Inn, vacant by the death of Dr. Raine, is unpara- lelled. There are sixteen candidates: the benchers, who are the electors, are only fourteen. It is in the contemplation of Government to order a new silver coinage of shillings aud sixpences, in ad- dition to the Bank Tokens of Is. 6d. and 3s. now issuing; in which case the old species of coin of that description will be called in. It is depreciated to the amount of - 10 per cent. Mr. Kemble is now out of danger. The bleeding was in a part to which no styptic could be applied, but it has stopped. He has lost, we understand, nearly eighty ounces of blood. The complaint did not arise from any particular exertion, but took place during sleep, and the bed in the morning was covered with blood. The effect has been some abatement of a head- ach to which he had been a long time subject. A coachman and a jeweller were committed to take their trials, from Marlborough- street, on Thursday ; the former for stealing jewels value 5001. which had been left in his coach by Lady Campbell; the latter for receiving, knowing them to be dishonestly with- in Itl from the owner. The New York Advertiser contains the following extraordinary notice :—" Lieut. Heppenstall, of the lst batt. 88th foot, requests the Editor of this print to let the w orld know that he iifnot dead, as was slated in the Dublin Freeman's Journal of April 10, 1811, in a return of the killed, wounded, and missing of the British forces in the several affairs with the French army, from the 6th to the 15th of March. Lieut. H. is at present in this city, and is happy he made his escape from those mad Frenchmen in Portu- gal ; and hopes that Lord Wellington will follow his example, and lead as many of his brave army as are yet alive out of that bloody country. The French- men will certainly, butcher them, if he does not."— [ Lieut. H, seems to have taken a very intelligible mode of proclaiming to the world, that he is not overburthened with courage.] The following whimsical circumstance occurred lately at the port of Plymouth : A gang of depre- dators having, at midnight, boarded a detained Ame- rican, immediately proceeded to unbend the mizen- top- sail from the yard, which they accomplished ; but, in lowering the sail over the tafferel into their boat, they made noise enough to awake the Captain, who came upon deck, and demanded the reason. " Hush I" said one of the gang, with great presence of mind, " we bave brought you a good sail, which we have inst token from a vessel, lying. , fill fia ban. f . >'& » C-. p- taiu, in expectation of getting a bargain, paid down the price, and retired to bed, congratulating himself on his acquisition : but with what sensations he viewed his naked mizen- yard in the morning, may be better conceived than described. The Comet having passed very near to the star at the end of the Great Bear's tail, it will not near any bright star for some time lo come, but that towards the middle of November, it seems likely to pass below the second brightest star in the heavens, in the Constellation " Lyra," at the distance of about 14 degrees, nearly west, in the early part of the even- ing, with an altitude of about 50 degrees. As the comet is now moviiignearly right across the view of the earth, and will be nearest to it about the 23d instant, it will afterwards be increasing its distance from us, and we both then shall be moving contrary ways, the Comet to the left and the earth to the right, so that on this account, and also on account of the Comet's increasing distance from the Sun, we may expect it to be less brilliant by the middle of November, and not long afterwards to lose it entirely from our sight. MR. FOX. The introduction of Mr. Fox to Bonaparte at Pa- ris, in 1802, is thus described by his private Secre- tary, Mr. Trotter:— " We reached the interior apartment, where Bona- parte, First Consul, surrounded by his Generals, Ministers, Senators, and Officers, stood between the second and third Consuls, Le Brun aud Cambaeeres, in the centre of a semicircle at the head of the room. The numerous assemblage from tbe Sulles des Ambas- sadeurs, formed into another semicircle, joined them- selves to that at the head of which stood the first Consul. " Bonaparte, of a small, and by no means com- manding figure, dressed plainly, though richly, in the embroidered Consular coat, without powder in his liair, looked at the first view like a private gentle- man, iudift'erent as to his dress, and devoid of all hautiness ill llis air. The two Consuls, large and hea- vy men, seemed pillars too cumbrous to support them- selves, and, during the levee, were sadly at a loss what to do. " The moment the circle was formed, Bonaparte began with the Spanish Ambassador; then went to the American, with whom he spoke some time, and so on, performing his part with ease, and very agreeably, until he came to the English Ambassador, who, after the presentation of some English Noble- man, announced to him Mr. Fox I He was a good deal flurried, and after indicating some emotion, very rapidly said— 4 Ah, Mr. Fox! I have heard with pleasure of your arrival; I have desired much to see you ; I have long admired in you tbe orator and friend of his country, who is constantly raising his voice for peace, consulting that country's best interests, those of Europe, and of the human race ; the two great na- tions of Europe require peace ; they have nothing to fear: they ought to understand and value one another In yon, Mr. Fox, I see, with much satisfaction, that great Statesman who recommended peace, because there was no first cause of war; who saw Europe de solaced to no purpose, and who struggled for its relief.' Mr. Fox said little, or rather nothing, in reply to a complimentary address to himself; he always found invincible repugnance to answer, nor did he bestow one word of admiration upon the extraordinary and elevated character who addressed him. Mr. Fox afterwards dined with Bonaparte. His Biographer states, that Mr. Fox appeared to consider him as a young man who was a good deal intoxicated with his success and surprising elevation, and did not doubt of his sincerity os to the maintenance of peace. From the conversation that passed, he imbibed no improved impressions of the First Consul's genius, who, to use a familiar phrase, had all the . talk to himself. London Day Coach.

In the latter end of the year 1784, during the months of November and December, did you use to attend the cliuich? Constantly.— Were you attending the church service on the mornings in the latter end of November, arid the beginning of December, aud throughout both those months ? I went constantly all the winter.— Every Sunday? Most Sundays; I verv seldom missed. Mr. Hupstnati never would allow me". — Did you ever miss at that period of the year for three successive Suudays ? That 1 never did.— Are you quite sure of that? Yes, I am quite sure ; I was per- fectly well all the winter til! Good Friday — Did you at any time in the months of November and Decem- ber 1784-, or at any other time, ever hear banns of marriage proclaimed between Lord Berkeley and Mary Cole? Never.— Are you quite sine of that? Very certain.— Did you ever hear of any such tiling ? Never. — How far was your seat frotn the reading desk? About ten yards; it might be eleven Could you fiom where you sat, distinctly hear the voice of Mr! Hupsmau when he. was petiormjng the service in the readiugdesk? Yes; you might hear his voice dis- tinctly in everv part of the church. He had a very clear strong voice, that., from tlie readingdesk, nobody could help hearing him,— Was that the case when he proclaimed the banns of marriage in geueial, that his voice could be distinctly heard in every pa t of the church ? Very distinctly— And you are sure that you never heard any such banns published ? I never he'arti them published, nor never met with any body that had.— After Lord Berkeley came to live there, and that lady to live with him, by what name did she go ? Miss Tudor.— Did you visit her? Never.— Why not ? Mr. Huosniaii never wished me to visit Miss Tudor in the style in which she lived with Lord Berkeley.— Was Miss Tudor visited by ladies of distinction in the neighbourhood ?

DISPATCHES, of whicii the following are a copy an i < xtr- iet, were yesterday ev^ ying received n> tiie EarJ of Eivi rpool's office, addressed to his Lordship hy General Visconnt Wellington, dated Gu. n1ra « aye's, 2i) th September, and Erexada, 2d Oc- tobir, 1S11. .... ,', , - Qiidtfrrtsnyes, Srpt. 29, 1811. Mv I or. n,— Tlie enemy commenced their move- ments ' towards Cittdad Rodrigo with the convoys ol j i < ivisimx - from the Siena de Bctrur and from Sala- mauca on the 21st instant; and on the following day I collected the. British Army, in positions from whicii .1 conld citheraiivance or retire without difficulty, which would euahle me to see all that was going on, and the strength of the enemy's army. rl'" oriomv first appeared tu the plain near Ciudad Kodrigo, on tho and retired againin a short time; lint on the 24th, in the vo. oi-. ., ihey advanced again in considerable force, and entere I the nlaiii, bv the road of St Spiritnsand Tenebron, and beto" e evening th » y had collected there all their cavalry, to the amount of about 6000 men, and four divisions of in- fantry, of which, one division were of the Imperial Guard; and the remaind r of the armies were encamp- ed on the Guadapero, inr » " ' itely he- oml the hills which surround the p'nins of Citt ' ad Kodrigo. ftn riie meriting of the 85th, the enemy sent a recon noissanee oftuvairy toe, aids the Lower Azava, con- sisting ot* iibottt fourteen squadrons of tlie cavalry of ti. e Imperial Guard. They drove in our posts on the right of the Azava ; lint having passed that river, the Lanciers de Berg were charged by two squadrons of the 16th, and one of the 14th Light Dragoons, and driven back; tliey attempted to rally and to return, but were fired upon by t., e Light Infantry of the 61st regiment,, which liad been posted in the wood, on the flank, by Lientenant- Genetai Graham; and Major- General Aus n pursued tiieiu across the Azava, and afterwards resumed his posts on tlie right of that river. Lieut.- General Gra- ham was highly pleased with the conduct of Major- Genera! Anson's ' irigadi ; anil Major- Gen. Anson particularly mentions Lieut.- Colonel Hervey and Capt. Bt ' therton of the 14ill, aud Capt. Hay and Major Cocks of the 161 h. But the enemy's attention was principally directed during this day to the position of the 3d division on tiie hills between Fuente Guinaldo and Pastures. About eight iu the morning, they moved a column consisting of between 50 aud 40 squadrons of cavalry, an 1 14 battalions of infantry, and 12 pieces of cannon, from Cimtad Kodrigo, in such a direction, that it was doubtful whether thev would attempt to ascend the lulls by lv cina. El Bodon, or by the direct road to- wards Fuente Guinaldo, and I was not certain by which road they would make their attack, till they ac- tually ci mmeaced it upon the last. As soon as I saw the direction of tlieir march, I had reinforced the 2d battalion 5th regiment, which occu- pied flic post on the lull, over winch the road passes to Guinald'o', by the 77th regiment, and the 2lst Por- tuguese regiment, under the command of Major- Ge- ner I the Honourable C. Colville, and Major- General Aliens blii- ade, cf which only three squadrons re- mained, which had not been detached, drawn from Ei Bodou; and I ordered there a brigade of the 4th division from Fuente Guinaldo, and afterwards from Ei Bodon the remainder of the troops of the 3d di- vision, with tiie exception of those at Pastures, which were too distant. Iu the mean time, however, the small body of tioops in this j ost sustained the attack of the enemy's cavalry and artillery One regiment of French dra- goons succeeded in taking two pieces of cannon which had been posted on a. l is ng ground on the right of our t ops ; but tliey were cjiargedjby the second battalion 5tii regiment, under the command of Major Ridge, and the guns were immediately re,- taken. While tins operation was going on on the flank, an at'aek was made on the front by another regiment, which was repulsed in a similar manner by the 77th regiment, ami the three squadrons ef Major- General Atten's brigade charged repeatedly different bodies of toe enemy, which ascended the hill on the left of the two regiments of British infantry ; the Portuguese re- git uei t being posted in the rear of their right. At length the division of t , e enemy's infantry, which bad marched with the cavalry from Ciudad Rodngo, were brought up to the attack on the road of Fuente Gin aldo, and seeing that tliev would arrive anil be encaged before the troops could arrive either from Gtinialdo or El Bodon, I determined " o withdraw our posi, and to retire with the whole on Fnente Guina- do. Tiie 2< 1 battalion 5tii regiment and the 77th regi- ment, were formed into one square, and the 21st Por- tuguese regiment into another, supported by Major General Allen's small body of cavalry and the Portu- guese artillery. The enemy's cavalry immediately rushed forward and obliged onr cavalry to letire to the support of the Portuguese regiment; and the 5th and ? 7th regiments w: re charged on three faces of the square, by the French cavalry; but they halted and repulsed the at- tack with the utmost steadiness and gallantry. We then continued the retreat, and joined tiie remainder of the third division, also formed in squares, on their marc ! to Fuente Gumaldo; and the whole retired to- gether ui the utmost ordt r: arid tiie. enemy never made another attempt to charge any of them; but were sa- tisfied with firing upon them with their artillery, and with following them. Lieutenant Colonel Williams with his light infantry, and the Hon. Lieut - Colonel Trench, with the 74tli regiment, retired fiotn Pasture* across the Agtieda, and thence marched by Koble ia, where tiiey took some prisoners, and recrossed the Aguedu, and joined at G. iine. lJo in tiie evening. I placed the tnird and 4th divisions, and General Pack's brigade of infantry, and Major- General Al- ten'--, M jor- General De Grey's, and Major- General S afe's brigades of cavalry, in the position of Foente Guinnldo on the evening ot tiie 2.) th, and ordered Ma- jor- Genera1 Crawfuid to retire with the bglit division across the \.. ied. i; the 7th division to format Alher gat ia. and L eut' uaiit- General Graham to collect the tie ps under his command at Nave D'Aver, keeping only posts of observation ou the Azava, and the tioops were, thus formed in an echelon, of which the centre was in toe position at Gumaldo; aud the right upon th Pass of Pare es, and the left at Nave D Aver.- Mareschal del Campo Don Carlos D'Espagne was placed on tne left of the Coa, and Don Julian Sanchcz wa- detac ed with the cavalry to the enemy's rear. The ein* uiy brought up a 2d di ision of t t'aitvy from Ciudad Kodrigp, in the afternoon of the 25' ti, and, I; I tiie course of that night, and of the ifilh, thev collected their whole aimy iu front of our posi- tion at G a alio ; and not deeming it expedient to stand tlun attack in that position, I retired about three leagues. It had been the enemy's intention to turn the left of the position of Goinaldo, by moving a column into tin Valley ofthe Upper Azava, and tiience ascending t e heights in the rear of the position by Castdleges: and from tins colinnu they dispatched a division of in- finity ani fourteen squadrons o' cavalry to follow our r- treai in Aiiiergana, aud another body of the same str- i- gtfi followed us by Kiircaihos. The former at- tacked the piquets ofthe eavvliy Ji Alilea de Ponte, and drove tneui in; and they pushed oa nearly as far as Alfajates. I thi'n made iietieial Pakenhain attack thorn with Ills brigade of the 4t. l1 division, supported bv the Hon. Lieut.- Gen. Cole, and the 4th division ; a 1 hy Mr Stapleton Cotton's cavalry ; and the enemy were driven t. rough 4idea de Ponte, b. - k upon Ai- beieariu, and toe piquets of tiie cavalry resumed tlieir staiioii. But the eiieiny having been reinforced by the troops winc. i man lie, 1 upon Fillcallus, again advanc- ed an e, t sunset, a.. d diovein Hie p. quels of the caval- ry from Allien oe Ponte ; a. si look possession of the village. Licet.- Gen. Cole again attael""! thom with a part of Gen. pakeiilmm's brigade, and drove them through the village, lint night having come on, and as Gen. Paken- liatn was not certain what was passing on his flanks, or of the numbers of the enemy, and liA knew that the army vere to fall back still further, he evacuated the village, which the enemy occupied, and held during the night. " , On the 28th, I formed the army on the heights behind Soito, having the Sierra tlas Mesas 011 their right, and the left at Benilo on the Coa, about oue league in rear, of the position which thev had occupied on the 27th. The enemy also retired from Aldea de ' Potjte, and had their advanced posts at Albergnria, amKas it appears that tliey are about to retire from this part of the country, a id as wo have already had some bad weather, a id may expect more at the pe- riod of the equinoctial gale, I propose to canton tbe trooes, [ Here follows a panegyric 011 the. different leaders of tin- troops engaged, from which it appears that the Portuguese have attained a great degree of steadiness and discipline; after which his Lordship proceeds:—] The enemy having collected, for the object of relieving Cuitlad Rodrigo, an army of 110 less taan sixty thousand men, of which six thousand were Cavalry, and 125 pieces of artillery, I could not pretend to maintain the blockade of Ciudad Hodrigo, nor could any efforts which I could make, prevent, or materially impede the collection of the supplies, or the march of the convoy for the reliefof that place. I ditl all that I could expect to effect without i cm ring the risk of great loss for 110 object, and as the reports, as usual, were so various in regard to the enemy's real strength, it was necessary that I should see their army. I have had no reports from the North since I ad- dressed your Lordship last, nor from the South of Spain. General Girard had collected at Merida, a small body of troops; but I imagine that he will break up this collection again, as soon as he will hear that General Hill is at Poi talegre. I have tiie honour to be, & c. ( Signed) WELLINGTON. 1 enclose a return of the killed and wounded, on the 25th and 27th instant.

" FREXEDA, OCT. 2, ltill. " Since I addressed you 011 the 29th September, I have learnt that the enemy retiied from Ciudad Rod- rigo on the 30th, the Army of the North towards Salamanca, and it is said, A'alladolul; and the Army of Portugal towards Banns end Placentia. ,'• Guard's division of the 5th corps, which I inform- ed your Lordship hail bee., collected at MeriBa, liais retired from thence, and has again been cantoned 111 the neighb urhood of Zafra. " I likewise learn that Gen. Foy, who had advanced as far as Zarza- Ma. jor in the valley of Alagon, with his own division, and one of ihe Army of the Centre, has retired towards Placentia." [ It will be seen by the perusal of these dispatches, that the measure which Lord Wellington basadopted was precisely that which, under the circumstances in which he was placed, might have been expected from a Commander so distinguished for talents and pru- dence ; ami 110 unpleasant feeling, we are persuaded, cotiid have been, for a moment, excited in the public mind by the arrival of such intelligence 11s that now re- ceived, had not the unfounded and extravagant re- ports win 1 li preceded it rendered any thing short of the total defeat of the enemy a disappointment. By the short extract of his Lordship's last dispatch, we learn, that tiie enemy's force lias again broken up and sepa- rated ; the army of the north having gone to Salaman- ca, or perhaps Valladolid, and the army of Portugal towards Banos and Placentia. The causes which have produced this separation are doubtless the difficulty of provisioning so great a mass of troops concentrated in oue spot, tiie approach of the rainy season, and also the necessity of re- employing a considerable part ofthe collected forces against tlie Spanish corps in the inte- rior. Lord Wellington speaks of cantoning his troops, and remarks, that some bad weather had already beeu experienced.— If then the rainy season be begun, the campaign may be considered us having terminated very favourably for tbe arms of theallies.] We regret to hear that an express arrived in town at ten o'clock last night, stating, that thp King was so ill it was thought necessary to call in anew Physician. A mail front Heligoland arrived this morning, bring- ing accounts from thence to the 5th inst. By advices from the Continent intelligence bad been received that camps were forming on the banks of the Ems and Weser for training of conscripts, Their numbers were estimated at 17,000. Lord Geo. Stuart, ofthe Horatio, has had a very narrow escape for his life by the over- setting of liis barge, but fortunately, with his boat's crew, was preserved by assistance from the shore. The Cortes have passed a decree for the abolition of feudal l ights in Spain. Bonaparte continues his tour along the Dutch coast, inspecting its ships and fortifications. The Turks have established themselves on the left bank ofthe Danube. French papers to the 9th iust. contain a confirmation of the account lately brought by the Fox, that three of onr frigates had engaged three of the enemy's off Madagascar. ' Ihe Captain of the Clorinde is tilt' author of this account; his ship, it will be recollected, escaped; and the following is the whimsical way in which he accounts tor the absence of his consorts :— " How," he says, " without winds, could they get to a distance? They must have had a breeze which I did not experience ; and this breeze must have driven them in spite of themselves, fin from me!" In short, they drifted away like the praam lately captured by the Naiad, and we may well believe that, in both cases, it was in spite of themsi Its. Two English officers, Capt. Smith and Lieut. Neville, confined at the depot at Auxonne in France, having quarrelled on the 13th, agreed to fight a duel . ttie next day. They procured pistols for the purpose, and adjourned to a room, w hen placing themselves at. the extremity of a table, about six paces, they fired at a signal given by a third person. Capt. Smith was shot through the breast and expired immediately, and his antagonist lias received a dangerous wound in the groin. The Governor has ordered a proces verbal to be made of the affair. O11 the 4lh, a Captain Robin- son, who had been detected in attempting lo escape, and was iii co'riscqtiet'. ee closely confined by older of the Governor, hung himself w ith a handkerchief. ' The'spot whereon is erected a toeer, to comme- morate the birth of the K. ing of Rome, is the very spot from whence jotins Caesar departed against Eng- land— about three milts from Boulogue. An English shipwright, who had been taken pri- soner by the enemy, and worked 011 board the fleet in the Scheldt, having made bis escape, states that the vessels are now completely manned and equipped ; that their destination is the Baltic) to form a junction " with the Russian and Swedish fleets, and under the protection of this combined force an invasion of this country is to be .^^ uiptetl. All the partuci^ Hliie celebrated house ofWillinck and Co. Amsterd^^^ itb their principal clerks, have been sent to Pai « ^^ ks'eqncnc.' of a search having been m^ dc andJ^ 3HH^ n$ ty of English manufac- tures found iu WeWpwmbwt. They were tried by the tribunal in the French capitrt, and the following sentence has been passed upon them :—* That they shall each of them lie branded in the forehead with the letters V. D.— That the house shall yeild up all its property, amounting to more than one million of guilders, 01 about 100,0001. to be confiscated to the use of the French treasury ; and lastly, that each of them shall serve 011 board the gallies, as slaves, for 10 years.' Such are the the blessings which the un- happy people of Amsterdam experienced from French fraternity! Letters from Sicily inform us, that the Sicilians hold their government in the moat complete abhor- rence^ and consider that the presence of our troops rivets their chains ; so that otir army is looked upon with distrust by both the Government and the people. It appears that considerable reinforcements of British troops are under orders for Sicily, and are now on their way. Tile Leyden and Freya men of war, having 011 board the 75th regiment, with de- tachments of the Corsican Rangers and Mettron's regiment, sailed from Jersey on the 10th iust. for Sicily. Sir Harford Jones has arrived from the Medi- terranean, with dispatched of great importance. They are said to contain accounts of peace having been concluded between Russia and Turkey ; and it is ad- ded, that both these powers will nowimite against France. Sir Harford Jones was, our Ambassador at the Court of Persia, whence he travelled to Con- stantinople. Sir Harford landed before the acci- dent happened to the Pouioiie, and immediately set off for London. Loss or His MUESTY'S SHIP POIIONE.— On Monday night, between seven and eight o'clock, his Majesty's frigate Potnone, in attempting to come through the Needles tit deatl low water, struck on a reef, and iu a very short time became a total wreck. Fortunately not a soul was lost that we can leifrn, the crew being timely assisted by the guard- ship in Yar- mouth Roads. The Pomoue has been some time cruizing in the Mediterranean Seas, and was a very fine frigate, not more than seven years old. The So- phie is gone down to save what* she can, but it is ap- prehended that very litf'u » will he rescued. It was tiot blowing hard at the timo.-' bnt the Needles is a most dangerous passage at night, and more especially, at low water. NOTICE.

HIS Majesty is better to- day in bodilyliealth than he ha* been for some days past, and was able to take the exercise of walking through Iiis suite of rooms, and the long passage attached to them. @ LOCE3TN\ SATURDAY, OCT TIER 19. Lord WTI. Bentinck is expected to have his final audience of tiie Prince Regent to- morrow, preparatory to his immediate return to his mi itary command in Sicily. It is understood that his Lordship g< es out with shell decisive instructions, as her Sicilian Majesty probably will not find it prudent to dispute. His Lordship will be accompanied by his Secretary, the Hon. Mr. Frederick Lambe, and Col. Adam, with the rank of Brigadier- General. A mail from Lisbon has arrived, with letters and papers to th » h inst Their. contents in some mea- sure account lu. the extravagant reports which have, for about a week, poured in upon tis from different quarters. It appears that the enemy were complete- ly defeated ill their first attack on the 25th, and compelled to retreat. Hence, doubtless, arose the rumour of a great victory on that day. The skirmishes were chiefly on the 25th and 27th. On the former day, a body of the enemy's cavalry, 4OUO strong, ad- vanced upon the centre of the allied army, near Fu- ente de Guinaluo, and obtained possession of the can- non of a Portuguese detachment, which were, how- ever, soon gallantly retaken. Toe plan of the enemy wa- lo engage our army'; if possible, in the plain's: but this Lord Wellington skilfully avoided, and having reached the strong position of Salmgal, he will have it in Siis power, if The' fchefny still court an action, to fight or, more advantageous ground. A private letter, dated Sabiigal, the 29th ultimo, says, tb. it the affair at Aidea de ponte was very severe. Two British squadrons charged up the hill, and com- pelled the enemy to retire with uuich precipitation. The enemy then, again advanced with their infantiy and artillery, and by their great superiority in numbers alone, obliged the pirqiiets to retire npon the British infantry, who iu their turn gave the enemy reiterated proofs of the steady and ' determined valour of a Bri- tish solditr. In this affair Mifjor Wvridhaiii, Captain Morgan, of the 12th; and Lieut. Windsor, of the Ro al Dragoons, had their horses shot under tlnlm. On tiie 2d inst. in the morning, a tempest of wind was experienced at Lisbon, which caused an extraor- dinary agitation in the sea; it continued on the follow- ing ( lay, accompanied by a copious rain. Many ves- sels anchored in ihe Tagus suffered considerable da- mage, and some small boats were lost. The Piinee Regent of Portugal has conferred the Order of the Castle and Sword on Lord Wellington. At the top of the star is a castle, and in the centre is a sword with a wreath over it. At the bottom ofthe ribbon to be worn with it, is a likeness of the Prince Regent. The Order was established a short time pre- vious to the Prince Regent leaving Portugal. In the action of Ballasteros with part of Sonlt's army, a Lieutenant- Colonel was taken prisoner, the person who took Colonel Lord Blaney, at Malaga, last year; for this service, lie was promoted from Captain to L'ieiilenant- Colonel. Ballasteros was of opinion, that if- Soult advanced with his whole army, he sliond be under the necessity of retreating; he wrote to tiie Chief Magistrates of Algesiras and St. Roqne, informing them of tiie probability of his being obliged to retreat on those towns; and recommending them to retire under the guns of Gibraltar. We are sorry to learn by a vessel just arrived from Tenentfe, that the fever rased there with great vio- lence; so much so, that the Captain was not permitted to ianel tiie whole of, his cargo. Our squadron on the Basque Roads station, and our c. rnizets ali along that part of the French coast, have been latterly most eminently successful in the cap- ture and destruction . t' the enemy's ehasse marees, and coasting vessels of different descriptions, 28 of which have been carried into Plymouth. V letter from an Officer on board the fleet cruizing off Flushing, dated the 10th, states, that one of the enemy's guard- boats had deserted, and brought three officers on board of Admiral Young's ship, from whom information had been received that nine sail of the enemy's fleet had gone up the Scheldt, and anchored under Fort Lillo, and that the rest of the ships were to follow them on the next day. If this intelligence should prove true, it would appear that Bonaparle had abandoned bis design of sending the Scheldt fleet to sea. The prospect of a northern war has perhaps made him relinquish, for t. ie present, his maritime projects. American papers to the 3th ult. have been brought by the Eliza, arrived at Cork. The following is an extract from them:— New York, Sept. 5.— The Court of Inquiry en the action between the President and Little Belt, continues its session. In the course of the examination it proves that the fact of the Little Belt having fired the first shot, is confirmed by the unequivocal and pointed evidence of every witness sworn Columbian. Another instance has occurred in proof of the prac- tical repeal of the Berlin and Milan Decrees, so far as relates to American vessels. The Perseverance, Hall, on her voyage from Biddetbrd ( Massachusets) to Dublin, was boarded by a French frigate. The • Captain took coffee on board the American, and en- quired where he was bound ; he was answered, " To Dublin." The Frenchman said, France was a better maikct- forhis timber; but parted, wishing the Ame- rican a good voyage. Bv the last let tors from Persia, we. learn that his Excellence Sir Gore Ouseley and his Lady occupied tiie beautiful palace at Shiraz, called the Takhti Cazar, as being a royal residence ofthe present reign- ing family, surnamed Cazar. The other Gentlemen ofthe English Embassy, with Ihe escort of cavalry, the artillery, and servants, were encamped close to the gardens ofthe Palace. Sir William Ouseley was preparing to set out on a journey to Darobgard ( the ancient Cyropolis) and lo explore the rums of Passa- garda, and the tomb of Cyrus; after which Ins inten- tion was to trace the route of Alexander from Passa- garda to Persepolis, Sir Wiliam hoped to perform this expedition ( about three hundred miles) in thirteen or fourteen days, and his brother, the Ambassador, had obtained for him a royal firman, and an officerot' the Prince's guards to a'ttend him, and insure his nersonal safety and accommodation, in a quarter ot Persia which has not probably been visited by any European for above an hundred years, and which is described bv the natives, as abounding in monuments of the most remote antiquity, as well as natural curi- osities of a very extraordinary kind, not noticed hither- to by any traveller. X: r Harford Jones, by the desire of Capt. Barrie, left the Pom one about It o'clock on Monday night, at which lime her masts were all gone, 20 ot her mam deck, and most of her quarter deck guns, had been thrown overboard, Bud the ship was striking so hard OS to give no hope of her holding much longer together. Nothing could exceed the coolness and discipline ex- hibited by Captain Bariie, and his Officers and crew, on tiiis Irving occasion, to which in a great measure may be attributed the saving of the crew ami passengers, — On board the Pomone were three very beautiful Arab horses, and six goats, which produce the fine shawl wool, belonging to Sir Harford Jones, which it was found impossible to save. The Pomone left the Dardanelles the 3d, Malta the 17til, Cagliari the 23d September, and Gibraltar the 6th Oct. She telegraphed the Admiral at the latter place, and was answered there was no news. At tlnee o'clock ou Tuesday morning, a tire broke out at Emanuel College, ill Cambridge University, which consumed one entire side of the quadrangle, called the Founder's Range; in which were situated the Fellow's rooms. No lives have been lost, nor any person hurt, and most, of the, valuable effects aiulful- Mtuieliave been preserved. CHELTENHAM ARRIVALS.

T. Edgell's Aca- demy "— The scene of confusion and disappointment which ensued, may be easily conceived, though not readily described. After repeated aud necessary ex- planations from the gentleman of the mansion, the post boys finding themselves hoaxed, and unwilling to return empty, agreed to convey their disappointed neighbours to their re. pective homes, and in a short time peace and qniet were once more restored. Wednesday were married, at St. James's church, the Right Hon. Lord Caledon, and Lady Catherine Yorkc, eldest daughter to the Earl and Countess of Hardwick. On the 10th instant was married, Mf. Thomas Ridler, soap- boiler, of this city, to Mrs. Knight, wi- dow of Mr. Knight, tanner, formerly of Warwick. On Sunday last died, in this city, in the bloom of youth, Susannah, wife of the Rev. I. M. Prower, leaving a disconsolate husband and an infant son to deplore her loss. Thursday died, at Malvern- Wells, Lady Louisa Hartley, wife of Winchcombe Henry Hartley, Esq. late Judge of the Vice- Admiralty Court at the Cape of Good Hope. Oil Thursday morning died, at Leekhatnpton- Conrt, in this county, Mrs. Stevens, wife of Mr. W. Stevens. Sunday died, of an inflammation on her lungs, aged 14, Anne, youngest daughter ofthe late John Brown, Esq. of Little Hampton, near Evesham., Last week died, at Barrow Cottage, Somerset, the residence of his mother, Mr. Edward Pelly— a yoimg gentleman of great strength of mind, and of the strict- est morals. A few days since died, suddenly, Mr. Win. Jarrett, a very ingenious mechanic, of Barton- street. The Alert, Captain N'eale, is arrived in this port, from Oporto, with a cargo of wines, & e. On Friday, the Rev. Wm. George Maxwell, and John Martin, Euq. were elected Bailiffs, and Henry Fowke, Joseph Wickes, James Kingsbury, and Hen- ry William Harris, Esqs. were chosen Justices of the Peace for the borough of Tewkesbury, for the year ensuing. Benjamin Johnson, Esq. is the new Mayor of Worcester; Charles Dowding, Gent. Sheriff; John Severn Ballard and Wm. Watkins, Gents. Chamber- lains. We are happy to hear that the new road between this city aud Cheltenham is in a very forward state ; when complete the distance will be shortened con- siderably, and travelling rendered more safe. The activity of the several Associations on the river Severn, to protect the fishery, is highly praise- wor- . thv. Two nets, Sec. were burnt in the Corn Market of Worcester, on Tuesday; and last week George Oseland, sen. of Kinlet, Salop, near Bewdley, was convicted of fishing in tlie Severn. Several convic- tions have also taken place at Tewkesbury. From these exertions we are led to believe, that in another season the markets will be plentifully supplied with salmon, and at a very reduced rate. It is said tiiat Mr. Sadler will ascend again from Birmingham in his balloon, in the course of a few weeks. Woodcocks have made their appearance at an un- usually early period this year; a couple were shot on Wednesday at Mathon, by a gentleman's gamekeeper. Ou Tuesday Win. Packer was committed to our county goal, for stealing two pieces of elm board, the property of Mr, Gwinnett, of Saudford, near Cheltenham. The fellow taken into custody, upon suspicion of shooting the turnpike keeper at Cheltenham, has been discharged. He was discovered asleep in Wbichwpod forest, with a brace of pistols lying at his side, ( after having been observed traversing the bye- roads of the neighbourhood fo,- several days,) and taken before the Magistrates at Btirford : bnt although several persons attended the examination, some of whom, it was understood, had seen the desperado after his flight from Cheltenham, ( particularly the keeper of the Frogmill- gate, through which the villain passed soon after the attack,) no proof could be obtained of the identity of his person, and the prisoner was dismissed, after being deprived of his arms. He was a most suspicious, ill- looking fellow, and made use of some very indecent expressions of defiance, the instant he was liberated. At Ross fair on Thursday, the shew of cattle was small, and the sale dull. Very few horses, pigs, or sheep; and but little business transacted.

Singular Robbery at the Crown Inn, Portsmouth — On Monday night, the bed- rooms of three gentlemen were robbed, while they were, asleep, of their gold watches, and loose money. No suspicion was attach- ed to any particular person in the Inn, but it was agreed to send to London for Rivctt, the Bow- street officer, who when he arrived, proposed that a party of six gentlemen, who had dined together, and sat up late a few evenings before, should be all searched. This was aceceded to, and Hamilton Crofton, Esq. one ol the pai ty, said, " Come, begin with me," which was more readily complied with, as from his gentle- manly appearance, it was hoped no one would after- wards object, when, strange to relate, all tlie watches were found on him. Upon being questioned respecting the money, he referred to his trunk; while this was searching, lie. found means to seize a razor and cut his throat; the instrument being wrenched from him, he endeavotned to tear open the wound, but was pre- vented.— He is recovering, and the parties bound over to prosecute. Mr. C. is a lieutenant in the army, a young married man, most respectably con- nected, and was waiting for a passage ill the Afrieaine to the Cape, having an appointment on the Staff. Since his residence in Portsmouth, he had visited the first naval and military characters.— Hampshire Tele- graph. BIRMINGHAM HOAX.— Some mischievous person, by way of adding to the entertainment which the as- cent of Mr. Sadler promised, sent letters to various persons in Birmingham, as from the Rev. T. Edgell, Master of the Academy in the Green Lanes, requiring their attendance m their various avocations. In con- sequence, about eleven o'clock, the time appointed, no less than eight chaises and two coaches approached that gentleman's house, to convey company, as their oiders purported, to witness the ascension of the bal- loon ; the road being narrow, and all arriving nearly at the same time, in different directions, the lane was completely jammed up; while the drivers were dis- puting and quarrelling among themselves, four tailors arrived with patterns, and the necessary apparatus for measuring the young gentlemen of the academy ; a butcher came up, with a large basket oftneat ; seve- ral drapers, shoe- makers, battels, & c. appeared lo deok out the students; a doctor and dentist attended PATIENTS IN GLOCESTER INFIRM A.

To the Editor of the Glocester Herald. S: R,— A pitiable enemy of mine, who has often found it convenient to play least in sight, though fond of appearing in print, having, under the above title, maliciously thought fit to send you a wilful mis- state- ment of the place where the public dinner was pro- vided during these Races, on Thursday last, invidi- ously stating such dinner to have been at the Beaufort Arms ; I take this opportunity, therefore, of request- ing you to contradict this falsehood, by informing the public, and my friends in particular, that the dinner alluded to was not provided at the Beaufort Arms, but that the whole of it was provided and furnished by me, at my house, the King Head Inn; when I had the pleasing satisfaction of personally receiving from almost every person of rank and title present, and all my other friends who sat down, the kind testimony of their entire approbation of the whole arrangement of the Dinner, as well as the peculiar flavour of the Wines. The Ball- and Public Breakfast, which I had the honour also to provide on the same occasion, gave satisfaction equally gratifying to my feelings, notwith- standing the repeated efforts of the few enemies I have, whose malice and rancour are inflexible, to con- ceal from the public, on all occasions, the superior accommodation and attention so uniformly experi- enced at the King's Head Inn, in every department of that spacious and modern Hotel and Tavern. I am, Sir, vour obedient Servant, SARAH EDWARDS. King's Head Inn, Monmouth, October 8, 1811. To the Editor of the Glocester Herald. SIR,- The account given of the Monmouth Races in your paper of the 5th inst. is, in every particular, exactly correct. The letter which has appeared in the Journal respecting it, requires no answer, its false- hood being so very glaring and palpable. Yours, tVc. c ir A CONSTANT READER. GLOCESTER INFIRMARY, OCT.

MY LORDS, LADIES, AND GENTLEMEN, I" 1 HE much lamented death of the lute Mr. _ Tit YE baring occasioned u vacancy in the swgi- cal department of the Institution under your patronage, I beg leave to offer myself to pour notice as a Candidate for the honour of supplying it; and although I cannot but feel that the loss of a man so eminent is irreparable. 1 trust that my professional pretensions and the estimation in which I regard the duties of the situation mty be yet found not unworthy of your consideration. Since I first had the honour of addressing you, I have been induced to think, that I owe it to myself to state the course of my Surgical pursuits, which commenced under Mr. TRYE at the Glocester Infirmary, and were continued in London, by his recommendation, under men of the first eminence, for nearly four years, of which period I was twelve months House Surgeon of St. Bar- tholomew's Hospital. I have the honour to be. My Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen, Your most obedient humble Servant, IV. COTIIER. Collage- Green, Glocester, Oct. 12, 1811. TO THE Governors of the Ctlocester Infirmary. MY LORDS, LADIES, AND GENTLEMEN, ' ] " TIE death of Mr. ' IRYE having made it ne- 1 ccssary that another Sttrgeon should be appoint d to the INFIRMARY here, I have presumed to offer myself as it Candidate to fill the place of that lamented man and distinguished Surgeon. My early connection with the Infirmary, where my Professional enquiries commenced; my Practice since, for many years, as a Surgeon in this City; but especially the recommendation and support with which I am honoured by the whole Medical Hoard of that Hos- pital, are circumstances which induce me to hope, that my claims to your attention are not unreasonable or pre- sumptuous, antl that I shall not be deemed as altogether unworthy of yoxir approbation and support. I have the honour to be, My Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen, Your most obedient Servant, R FLETCHER. Glocester, Oct. 8, 1811. TO THE Governors of the Glocesler Infirmary , MY LORDS, LADIES, AND GENTLEMEN, BY the decease of Mr. TR YE, a Gentleman whom the City and Countu of Glocester will long remember and lament, the Infirmary has experienced the loss of a Surgeon, who was an ornament to his pro- fession, and a blessing to the community. In offering myself to supply the Vacancy which that, event has created in our Public Hosoital, 1 believe I am actuated by no unworthy motive, and hope, that from a regular education and many years subsequent practice, I am not altogether unqualified to discharge the impor- tant trust, to which, by your influence and support, I am solicitous of being appointed. The same motives which dictate this application, I feel confident won d guide my conduct should 1 be honour- ed by your final approbation. I have the honour to be, My Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen, Your obedient humble Servant, G. B. DRAYTON. St. Mary's- Square, Glocester, Oct. 8, 1811. TO THE I Governors of the Infirmary at Glodester. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, " T^ HE regret which my Friends here have been X kind enough to express at the prospect of my leav- ing my present situation, and my own doubts of the prudence of such a step, induce me to relinquish my pre- tensions to the Surgeoncy of your Infirmary. While I thus declare my determination. I beg to use the same opportunity of returning my sincere thanks to those, who have favoured me with the promise of their support, as well as to those who luwe been prevented ft cm so doing by the prior applications of others. 1 have the honour to remain.

Black, a clergyman's widow, that lived in the town. — Were vou yourself, before l. ord Berkeley came to live with Miss Tudor, well acquainted with Lord Eer- keey? Yes; I bad known [. ord Berkeley ever since the year i7ti9.— Who was the offieia'ing clerk in the year 1784, and 1785? 1 think it was John Clark.— Do von remember in the year 178- 1 or 1785, John Clark being absent from his duty fort hi ee Sundays together » 1 do not. recollect it. — Do yon recollect that in Novem- ber arid December 17S4 he did officiate as clerk ofthe parish ? 1 believe so.— tif course you are well ac- quainted with your husband's hand- writing? Certainly I was.— Then the registry of the marriage of Lord Berkeley w as shewn to the witness ; the witness pro- duced a paper, and was asked, ( Hy a Lord.) What have you in your hand? A signature of Mr. llupsman to oiie of his letters, which I cut off that vou might compare it.— flti/ Mr. Solicitor General.) Without re- ferring to that, look at that entry ; you observe the name " Au gs Thos Hupsman Vicar." ' Have the good- ness to look at that, and sav whether yon believe that to be the baud- writing of Mr. Hupsman ? I do not.— Look at the words " the mark of Richard Barns >" It is not a bit like his hand- writing. — Do vou believe that to be his hand- writing? I do not— Then the re- gister of the banns of Lord Berkeley was shewn to the witness, and she was asked, Is that. Mr. Hnpsman's band- writing ? There is a faint similarity in the word Ilupsinan. -- Can you state now, upon looking at that entry, whether the entry is the hand- writing of your husband Or not? No, I do not think it is.— After the veai 1796 did you or vour daughter visit at Berkeley Castle' That was after the second mairiage. I was at Stone with my daughter on a visit, and Lord Berke- ley sent his carriage for us there, and we dined with him.— What year was that in > In 1796 as ic- arly as t recollect.— Was it after the marriage in 1796, or be- fore ? Do you know what part of the year 1796 it wa. s in? It was iu the latter end of the year. I think it was after thesooi d marriage was established ; 1 know 1 am not quite oleaf whether it was in 1796 or. 1797 ; but il was after the second marriage that 1 was at Stone, and Lord Berkeley sent his carriage for us. — Ilail you an oppoitrinity of observing, after that period, whether I. adv Berkeley possessed a consider- able degieeof ascendancy over Lord Berkeley ? She did after she was married.-— Were the concerns of Ihe family principally managed bv her? Indeed they were.-— Was the contioul and influence over the fami- ly exercised bv Lord Beikeley or Lady Berkeley? 1 believe by Ladv Berkeley. — Look at this book, ( Mrs. Jlic/ is's Vocl. ei book.) Sir Samuel Romillv objected to the witness looking at the boob. The witness was di- rected to withdraw. The Solicitor- General stated, that he wished only that the witness should look at the outside of the book, in order to state whether that was the book to which she referred in her evidence. Sir Samuel RomiMy waved his objection. The witness was again called in, and the pocket book being shewn her, she was asked, Is that your daughter's pocket book which you satv, which you before referred to? Yes, it lias that appearance. Cross- examined. Da you recollect how long Lord Berkelev staid at Berkeley Castle after, lie had returned with Mrs. Hicks in 1785? I cannot say exactly, it might be a week or eight or nine days.— Do you think if was longer than pight or nine days? No, I do not think it was.— Did Lord Berkeley return soon again to lleikeley Castle in that vear ? I do not know that he returned before the usual times which used to be ill July or August.— Do you think that Loid Berkeley was uot at Berkeley Castle b' tweeu the day in April, of which you have been speaking, and July or August in that year ? I do not think he was; I never heard he was.— Do you re- collect the militia being called out in that year? No, I do not recollect any thing about it.; they used to be called out. in the May month ; bot I do not know that they were then.— Have you any reason to know that. Lord Berkeley was at Glocester between the month of April aud the mouth of July in the year 1785 ? I never heard that he was; I knew nothing at all about him. — How far is Berkeley Castle distant from Glocester? 1 think sixteen miles.— Do you think it possible that I, ord Berkeley should have been at Berkeley between April 1785 and July 1765 without your knowing it ? No, I should think not.— And you have no recollection • of Lord Berkeley having been there in that intermedi- ate time? No; he used always to come down to our house as soon as he came to the Castle that evening, the same evening.— Do you recollect when Lord Berkeley came down iu the winter of 1784 and 1785 ? I think at his usual time, in October, for pheasant shooting.— Have you any recollection of that year, distinct from any preceding or subsequent year; any thing to mark bis coming or staying at Berkeley Cas- tle iii the winter of 1784 anil 1785 ? He staid at the Castle longer, because he staid till February, which was the time he took my daughter up; and he used generallv to go, 1 believe, at the latter end of Janu- ary frequently.— Was Lord Berkeley in the habit of staying at Beikeley Castle for months successively? In the winter from October.— From October till what month ? / Fill January : lie staid rather later that year and wept up in February.— Was Lord Berkeley in the habit of staying at the Castle from October till Janu- ary, without going away ? Sometimes he went up, 1 believe, in December, sometimes iu January.— Was uot Lord Berkelev in the habit of going up to London for a few days, and coming back again to the Castle ? Not that I know of.— What is the reason you have for recoil- cling the length of time Lord Berkeley staid when he returned in April 1785? He never staid long at that season of the year, when became about Easter he seldom slopped more than a week or eight days.— State whether what you have been already stating to the Committee, respecting the time Lord Berkeley was at Berkeley Castle in'l784or 1785, yon are stat- ing from a general recollection of what Lord Berke- ley's habits u ere, orany thing particularly fixed in your mind of what he did in this year ? I cannot say what he did in this year; hut that was his general time ; and 1 think he staid rather later at that time ; staying till February— You have said you did not bear the banns published between Lord Berkeley and Mary Cole in November or December 1784 ? I never did.— Do you recollect hearing the banns published of anv body whom you knew, iu those months? Indeed, I cannot mention any person in particular.— Have you any recollection of hearing the banns published between a person of the name of Varnham and any Other person ? No, I do not recollect the circumstance. — Do you now know to whom that person of the name of Varnham was mariied ? I think her name is Varn- ham now, she used to go by the name of Chapman before she was married.— Was she not employed by you ; o some way ?' She has washed for me.— You have said that lady Berkeley in the time you have been speaking, of 1787, and down to the second marriage, was not visited by any body except Mrs. Black ? No, and she was iery much blamed for visiting her.— Are you sure that no other lady of character visited her ? Yes, I am lery c rtaiu that no one else visited her at that time Do you knosv Mrs. Jenner? Yes, very well; perfectly well; I believe she never visited I. adv Berkeley at any period,— You say you believe that is not your husband's hand- writing, ( the register of the marriage of Lord Berkeley)? No, I cannot swear it to be his baud- writing, neither do I believe it. — Do you think it is like liis hand writing ? I think not; it is not like the whole ofhis hand- writing.— Do yon mean by that, that the whole of ic is not like his hand- writing? No, I do not think any of it is like his baud- writing; there is a faint resemblance in " Hups, man" in the banns.— Look at this register of the mar- riage of Robert Baker and Ann Andrew on the 25th of April 1780, is that your husband's hand- writing ? That is mote like it 1 think, it looks very like it that does ; 1 think that that is his hand- writing; it is very like it, — fxiok at that, the register of the mariage of Mrs. Hicks, No. 102, do you believe that, to be your hus- band's hand- writiug ? Yes, I do.— You have no dOubt of that? No, I think notj that is his hand- writing I think.— You would have no doubt of that any where ? I think not; I thiuk I should not.— Look at that ( No. 58, page 20,) do you believe that, to be Mr. Hupsman's hand- writing? I think it is.— Was that the way in which Mr. Hupsman made his H. always in the begin- ning of his nam « ? People do not always make a single letter the same.— The witness produced a slip of paper, and said, I could have cut out twenty signatures ex- actly the same as that.— That is Mr. Hupsman's hand- writing? Yes, it is, I cut it off a letter just before I came. ( Tbe witness delivered iu the signature.)— Look at that, ( No. 73, page 25,) do you believe that to be Mr. Hupsinan's hand- writing ? There is such a difference with a different pen, that upon my word i cannot positively state.— You canuot then say, whe- ther that is Mr. Hupsman's hand- writing or not? I could not sw ear to it, pens differ, and people do not always write exactly the same.—- Is the V. in the word s icar in the usual form in which Mr. Hupsman used to write that letter ? I cannot say, 1 never took particular notice, that is more like his band- writing ( No. 74) in the same page. The T. and the h. aie joined just in the same manner as they are in that sig- nature t nave delivered in.-— Look at that again, and see whether you are correct; you mean the T. and tbe h. in Thos. ? 1 thiuk they are.— Have the good- ness to compare those two, and see whether the T. and the h, are joined in the same manner > Not quite ; but people do not wiite always exactly tbe same, so that it is impossible to say,— Having compared these different names, have the goodness fo point out what makes you doubt this ( the signature to the register of the marriageof Lord Beikeley) being the hand- writing of your husband ; is it the genetal character, or is it from any particular. letter?. it. is from the general cha- racter of the writing altogether.— And not from any particular letter? No; 1 am not a competent judge. — You say, that the entry of the banns has some faint resemblance to the baud- writing of Mr. Hupsman? Yes, 1 think the word " Hupsmau" has.— Do you again, upon having looked at these different signatures, say that the signature to the entrv of the marriage has not in your opinion even a faint resemblance to the hand- writing of Mr. Hupsman ? 1 do not think it has altogether. He- examined. You have been asked respecting another banns proclaimed in the church, if you had ever heard banns of marriage proclaimed between Lord Berke- ley and Mary Cole, in the church of Berkeley, could you have forgotten it? I could not.— When Lord Berkeley was at Glocester, staying at Glocester, did you use to go and sc.- him there? I have been in Glo- cester in tbe May month formerly.— Did yon always know when Lord Berkeley was staying at Glocester for a mouth, residing there, and did you then visit him there? I went on a visit sometimes to a friend there, a Major Mayor's family.— Occasionally? Yes, and Lord Berkeley used to be backwards and for- wards at Mr. Mayor's, where I saw him frequently.— You had yourself no place of residence at Glocester? No, I had not.— Might Lord Berkeley have been for a month together at Glocester, residing altogether there, and you not know it ? Oh, to be sure he might. — Do you remember when Mr. Hupsman quitted Berkeley? He quitted Berkeley I think in the year 1791, the latter end of 1791.— Did he ever return to Berkeley after that? He has been down there and done duty after that, but I was not pith him.— Do you know how long it was from 1791, to the first time that Mr. Hupsman again did duty at Berkeley? I think within three or four months.— Do you know what was the cause of Mr. Hupsman's quitting Berke- ley in 1791 ? Not exactly. Examined by the Lords. Have you reason to recollect the- cause of Mr. Hnpsman's quitting Berkeley in 1791 ? I do not know the particulars of it, but I believe it was owing to his peeuniaiy cirrnmstanres.— Had Mr. Hupsman occasionally the custody of the registers ? They were kept iu the church at one time, but they frequently used to be brought down for hint to insert the mar- riages, and sometimes John Clark used to have the . registers at his house, I believe.— Do you recollect that Lord Berkeley resided at Berkeley Castle the w hole winter before he carried your daughter to Lon- don* I believe he did.— Do yon believe that Lord Berkeley was there in December 1785? Yes, I do.— Did Lord Berkeley attend church when he was in the country? Very seldom.— You have no recollection of bis being at church in the months of November and December. 1784? No, I am clear he was not, to the best of my rt collection.— Do you recollect whether you knew that your daughter was coming from Lon- don, many days before she arrived at Berkeley ? Yes, I did.— How long? I cannot say exactly how many Hays, but I was in expectation of her when Lord Berkeley came down.— Did you kuow for a weik be- fore that Lord Berkeley was coming down on that day? I belive I did, he wrote to Mr. Hupsman, and I dare say he mentioned the day, because I was in expectation of ber from his letter.— Did yon corres- pond with your daughter? I did ; sometimes I wrote to her, and sometimes Mr. Hupsman.— Have yon any recollection of receiving a letter from lier, an- nouncing the day on which she was to arrive at Berke- ley ? Indeed I do not remember— You are sure yon have no letter which you received from your daugh- ter during her residence in London? I have no letter now from her; they are all destroyed, it is such a number of years ago Are you in possession of your husband's papers? No, I am not.— You have no letter from Lord Berkeley to him? No, I have not.— Two or three eutries have been shewn you, which you think are not Mr. Hnpsman'shand- writing? I could uot swear to them.— That you believe arc not your husband's hand- writing? Yes.— You believe they are not? I do, the entry of the marriage ; bnt some of the others that I saw were his writing with different pens; and a person's habit iu writing is so different at different times.— Here is one of these signatures that you do not believe to be Mr. Hupsmau's ; can you name the person whose hand- writing you be- lieve it to be? Indeed I cannot; they may be his writing, only the pens may make the difference. — You were taken ill on Good Friday? I was.— Aud your daughter returned on the Sunday s'ennight ? She did.— Aud you expected that daughter? I did.— How came you to expect that daughter ? Mr. Hups- man, I believe had a letter from Lord Berkeley; I am not clear whether it was from him or from her, but I know he expected her at that time.— And she came according to the time that you expected her? Yes; according to the time we expected her.— Lock at the signature to the register of the marriage of Lord Berkeley ? I cannot say it is like his hand- writ- ing.— Do you attribute its being unlike to any pecu- liarity in the pen with which it is written? No, I think it is altogether not his general mode of writing. — You stated, that your daughter went to town in the month of February with Lord Berkeley, and re- turned the Sunday after Easter Sunday ? Yes, she did.— Do you recollect to have seen Lord Berkeley at Berkeley between the time ofhis going to London with your daughter and his returning to Berkeley with your daughter ? No, I did not indeed; and I was at home all that time.— In some of the signatures about which you were doubtful, you said the diffe- rence might be occasioned hy a difference of the pen, or persons writing differently at different times, might not that observation apply to the signature of the register of the marriage? No, I cannot - ay that it does.— The witness was directed to withdraw. Then HENRY BONIFACE teas called in, and having been sworn, teas examined as follows: Were you butler and house steward to l. ord Berke- ley ? Yes.— From what time till what time r From July 1774 to th" latter end of January or the beginning of February 1788; fourteen years.— After the year 1783 where was Lord Berkeley's general place of resi- dence ? Sometimes in London, sometimes at Cranford, and sometimes at Berkeley Castle.— Do you recollect being yourself at Berkeley in the year 1784; towards the latter end of the year 1784 ? I cannot recollect exactly that I was there; but if Lord Berkeley was there I was always with him.— Do yon recollect being there with l. ord Berkeley any part of the year 1785 ? No, I do not remember exactly to that year— Did you always accompany l. ord Berkeley when he went from Cranford Or from London to Berkeley ? I aiw ays went either before liiin or after him.— When Lord Berkeley was down in the country, when he attended the militia, did he use to remain, to reside atGloeester ? Yes, always.— For a month ? Yes.— Where was he at Glocester? lie had generally lodgings sometimes at one house aud sometimes at another.— He did not come to sleep at Berkeley at that time ? I very seldom went dowu with my Lord Berkeley in the month of May when the militia were embodied.— Have you any recollection w hether the militia w ere out in the May of 1785: I have no recollection of their being out in the May of 17& 5.— Have yon any recollection of his Lordship being there in the year 1784 or 1785 ? I have no recollection nor no memorandum.— When you were at Berkeley attending on Lord Berkeley, dill you usually attend the church service on Sundays ? Always almost; there was very seldom a Sunday I missed in the forenoon.— That you were not at church and attended the service? Yes.— How far from the reading- desk did you sit? Not above two or three yards.— Do you remember hearing the service per formed by Mr. Hupsman ? Very often.— Did he per- form it in a distinct manner? Very distinctly.— Was his voice distinctly heard in the church? In all parts ofthe church where the congregation sat; there was some part where, there were no pews.— Did yon ever hear banns of marriage proclaimed between Lord Berkeley and Mary Cole in Berkeley church ? No, never.— Did you evcr'liear of any such thing? No, never.— Do you remember when for the first time Lady Berkeley came to Berkeley Castle ? The witness referred to a memorandum, and said, this is a memorandum I made at the time, of the time we left Cranford, aud came to Berkeley ; on this account that the servants before we came, were on board- wages, aniri soon aj we came down to Berkeley Castle, we wcr: t to housekeeping.— Is that the Original ? Yes, it is.— When did Lady Berkeley first come to Berkeley Castle? Oil Sunday morning the lltli of November 1787 she left Cranford, anil arrived at the Castle on Monday the 12th.— Had you before that time ever seen Lady Berkeley at Berkeley? No, never.— Do you know Mr. Tudor? No, I have never seen him to my knowledge ; I should not know him if I was fo see him.— By what name did Lady Berke- ley go when she first came to Berkeley Castle? Miss Tudor.— Was she visited by the ladies of distinction, at that time? By none at all; I never saw a lady come to { lie Castle during the time I was there.— Do you remember her mother coming there? She brought down an old lady with her, and a young one, and another, I believe that was hired, that came from some- where near Cranford, to help to assist iu the nursery ; but at that time we did not kuow the old lady was her mother.— How was she employed, that person? Employed as head nurse ill the nursery.— Was she in the same capacity at Cranford before? She was always in the nursery with the eldest son, and the nursery- maid under her.— Where did she diue, in the family with Lord Berkeley, or in the nursery? Whom do you mean ? The head nurse ? I never saw her in the room with Lord Berkeley.— Where did she take ber meals ? She took her meals in the nursery.— Did she then appear as aservant? We always looked upon her as such.— What name did she go hy ? I never, nor I believe some other of the servants, never knew her go by any other name than " the old nurse."— At what part of the year was it that Lord Berkeley used to be at Berkeley Castle ? He very seldom went down till the latter end of July or the beginning of August, for it was a rule to finish the hay harvest at Cranford before we left Cranford, to go to Berkeley.— Do you remember a lady living with Lord Berkeley of the name of Bailey ? Yes,— Where? She lived at Cranford with Lord Berkeley.— When did she cease to live with him? I cannot recollect how long since.— Have you no means of recollecting when it was? No, I have not any.— Did she live long with him ? A good while, I believe ; but I cannot recollect how many years.— At tlisrt time, at what time of the year did Loru Beikeley use to come down to Berke/ ey ? About the time I have mentioned.— How long did he use to stay there? Till the pheasant shooting began at Cran- ford, the 1st of October.- Did he come to Berkeley again ? After six or seven weeks at Cranford he used to come down again to Berkeley ; and sometimes we have gone away before Christinas, and sometimes we have staid till after Christmas; but the particular years that we staid till after Christmas 1 have not a recollection of.— Do you remember the celebration of the eldest son's birth- day at Christmas, at Berkeley ? I was not there; I had left Lord Berkeley before that; the birth- day was not kept at the Castle during my time; I left in 1788.— In what part of the year? Either the latter end of January, or the beginning of February. Cross- examined. Do yon recollect a gentleman of the name of Chapeau visiting Lord Berkeley? At Cranford he visited.— A Clergyman ? Yes,— He was a married man, was he not? Yes.— Did Mrs. Chapeau visit there ? No ; I do not remember seeing her there; she had been there with him when wehave not been there, I have been informed.— Didyou eversce Mrs. Chapean yourself there ? I cannot say that I have, I have no re- membrance ofher being there; I know they had a lodg- ing two or three miles from Cranford, during tbe season for partridge shooting.— Mr. Chapeau used to be there frequently? Yes; he has been there shooting with Lord Berkeley.— Dining with Lord and Lady Ber- keley? I never saw him dine with Lady Berkeley there. Do you recollect when Lord and Lady Berkeley first came to Beikeley ? She did not come with my Lord ; she came after my Lord. Lord Berkeley aud Captain Prescott came down on the 8til of November 1787; and Lady Btrkeley did not come down till the 12th of November, about four days afterwards.— You are refreshing your memory by some paper? Memorandums made at the time.— You have a very imperfect memory, except when it is refreshed hy memorandums ? If I had memorandums of the year 1785, they might have enabled me to say where Lord Berkehy was in that year.— Can you recollect under what circumstances yon left the family? I did not clin- e to stay.— You gave warning, and turned yourself out ? I told my Lord I should leave his service.— My Lord did not turn you away, but you tuined yourself away? Yes.— Yon are quite sure of that? I am quite certain of that.— Will yon state you were not turned away because you behaved improperly to Lady Berkeley ? I never spoke to Lady Berkeley, and gave her any improper answer iu my life; as lam upon my oath, I declare that.— And you were not turned away for lhat ? No, I was not.— Were you not charged with drinking a particular toast? No.— You were not dismissed for drinking some toast? I never heard a word of it till you now tell me of it. Examined by the Lords. You have no memorandum of the year 1785? I have not.— Do yon recollect the birth- day of the eldest son being kept at Cranford? No; it was not kept at Cranford.— During the time that Mrs. Bailey lived at Cranford did Mr. Chapcau visit there ? Yes, — Did he dine with Mrs. Bailey ? I believe he may have dined with her.— Did Mrs. Chapeau visit there at that time? No, I never saw Mrs. Chepean there at that time to visit with Mrs. Bailey. The witness was directed to withdraw. Mr. Solicitor General stated that it had that moment been communicated to him that Mrs. Hupsman had intimated a wish to be permitted to return for the purpose of correcting a j part of the testimony she had giveu; that he had not ' the least knowledge of her having been communi- [ cated with by any person whatever on the subject, | and begged permission tiiat she might be called in and j interrogated fully on the subject. Then Mas ELIZABETH HUPSMAN was again called in, and examined as follows: Is it by your own request that you attend at this bar ? Yes, it is.— Since you left the bar have you had any communication with anybody on the subject of the testimony you gave here ? I said I had made a mistake aud said the 23d instead of tlie 3d. I was so much agitated that I said the 23d instead of the 3d, and I wished to come back to set it right Has anybody suggested to you that correction, or is it a correction of your own? It was my own indeed, when I went out. of the House.— Had anybody said any thing to yon to alter your testimony since you retired from the bar; bad anybody spoken to you about it? When I went back I said I had said the 23d, and before I had always said the 3d. I told Mr. Griffith the 3d before I came here.— To whom did you mention, after you retired from the bar, that you had made that mistake? My daughter was present, and there was another Lady, I believe.— Did you say of your own accord, or was the thing suggested to you by anybody else? I said it.— Fiom yourself? Yes, from myself, that I had said the 23d. I recollected I had mentioned the 3d of April before to Mr. Griffith.— Are you sure now that it was the 3d and not Ihe 23d of April she came back ? Yes, I am very'sure indeed, for it was the Sunday after Easter. Cross- examined. Did you say, after you went out of this House, that you recollected it was the 3d and not the 23d, before anybody had said any thing to you upon the subject? As I went back I spoke, I believe, to my daughter, and said " I have said the 23d of April." — What did your daughter say to that? I said I had said the 23d of April, the first Sunday after Easter, and she said, " Yon know you said the 3d of April; you made a mistake." I recollected it was a mistake immediately after.— It was upon Mrs. Hicks's cor- recting that mistake that you found it was a mistake, and not from any recollection of yottr own ? Yes ; I said the 23d of April; and she said, " You said the 3d of April you know." I said, " Yes, it was the 3d of April that I told Mr. Griffith." Re- examined, Did you yourself remember that the real date you had mentioned was the 3d of April, or was it only from the dictation of your daughter that yon said it? She did uot dictate; I said I had said the 23d of April; she said, " Why yon know it was the 3d;" and I recollected it was the 3d immediately.— Have you any the least doubt in your mind that the date was the 3il, and not the 23d ? I am very certain it was the 3d, ami I had always said it was the 3J. The witness was directed to withdraw. Thai SARAH JOIN Fit was called in, and having been sworn, was examined as follows: Did you live as a servant at Berkeley Castle ? I did.— For how long? Upwards of twenty years.— When did you leave the family? In the first week in October 1785.— Have yon resided in the parish ever since? I have; and in the town of Berkeley. — Do you remember the Castle being under repair in the year 1785? Yes, it was.— And in the year 1784, the latter end of 1781 and the beginning of 1785? I can- not recollect the latter end of 1784, nor Lord Berke- ley's being there; but I can recollict in 1785.— What part of 1785 do you remember Lord Berkeley being at Berkeley Castle? Either in March or in April. — I) o you remember how long time he was there ? I cannot recollect; it might be two or three days, and that must he the furthest.— For how long a time had Berkeley Castle been under repair at that time ? It had been under repair for as much as two years— Do you remember seeing Lord Berkeley in the winter ofthe year 1734 there ? I do not.— Do yon mean to say that he was not there, or that you do not remem- ber his being there? Ni. I do not remember whether he was or not.— You have no memory about it? No, I have not.— Do you remember seeing him any time after April 1785, and before yon left ill October 1785? Yes, I remember seeing liim the latter end of July , or the beginning ot August.— Where ? Al Berke- ley Castle.— Did he come alone then, or was any- body with him? He had Captain Berkeley, his brother, and Mrs. Berkeley with him.— For how long time did they stay there ? To the best of my recol- lection, they staid there till the latter end of Septem- ber,- From about the month of July or August? Yes. — July or August, which ? I cannot say; but I believe it was the latter end of July, or the beginning of August.— And staid how long ? Till the latter end of September.— During that timi- did Lord Berkeley sleep and lire at Berkeley Castle, or did he use to go and live any where else? At that time he slept and lived at Berkeley Castle.— Did you ever see the present Lady Berkeley there? I did not.— If she had been there during any part of that time, must you have known it ? I must— If Lord Berkeley had gone to live for a week or a month, or any continued period of time at Glocester, orany where else, yon must have known it? I should.— Are you sure he did not absent himself from Berkeley Castie during the period you have described? To the best of my recol- lection, he did not.— Do you recollect in any part of that year 1785, his coming back twice within a very short interval; a very few days of each other ? I do not,— Do von remember that ever happening at any- time ; Lord Berkeley going from Berkeley, and re- turning within a few days? I do not, during the time I was there.— Did you, while you were at Berkeley Castle, use to attend Berkeley church on a Sunday ? Sometimes I did, and sometimes I did not; I did not keep it regularly.— Do you remember whether you attended the church in the November and December of1784 ? I cannot recollect.— Were you at Berkeley at that time ? I was. — When you were at Berkeley did you ever absent yourself from church three successive Sundays? I cannot take upon me to say.— Have you any recollection of having done so ? I cannot recollect that I did,— At any time when yon ever attended the church, did you ever hear any proclamations of banns of Lord Berkeley and Mary Cole ? I did not.— Did you ever hear of any such tiling? I did not.— You lived ill the town from 178i>, after you quitted the Castle? I did.— Do you remember the present Lady Berkeley coming down? I do ; iu 1787 I believe.— By what name did she go ? I do not know; I had no concrrn with the family, and do uot kuow. The witness was directed to withdraw. Then MARGARET HICKS teas called in, and having been sworn, was examined as follows: You are the widow ofthe Reverend Thomas Hicks? I am.— Did you know the late Mr. Hupsman? I knew him well.— Were you acquainted with his hand- writ- ing ? I have seen him write several times.— Have you seen a great number of letters he wrote ? I have.— And have you likewise seen him write himself? I have seen him write himself.— Did you by that means acquire an acquaintance with his manners of writing, and particularly his signature ofhis name? I cir- tainly should have known his writing at that time.— Then the register of tiie marriage of Lord Berkeley was " hewn to the witness, and she was asked, State whether any part of that, you believe to be in the band- writing of Mr. Hupsman ? I cannot speak positively to his hand- writing, but it certainly is'unlike what I have generally seen.— You are called upon to pro- nounce your belief; have the goodness to look at the signature, and state whether you believe it to be his hand- writing or not ? I cannot speak positively to any man's hand- writing.— You are not asked to speak positively, but to youv belief; whether it is your belief thai it is his or not his ? 1 have said before, that 1 think it unlike the gtueral hand- writing of Mr. Hupsman, but I cannot speak positively to its not being his.— Those words, " The Mark of Richard Barns," state what you think of those? I certainly should not say it is Mr. Hupsman's.— Supposing you had seen that writing in any other place than where it is, should you have pronounced it to be Mr. Hups- man's hand. writing? I think I should not.— Then the registry of the banns of Lord Berkeley was shewn to the witness and she was asked, Is that Mr. Hupsman's hand- writing? I should certainly say this is more like what I have generally seen of his hand writing.— Could you pronounce of that ill your belief, it was the hand- writing of Mr. Hupsman? I could not speak positively to it.— One way or tire other, that it is or that it is not? I certainly could not sneak positively; I certainly say that I think it is more like than the signature to t is marriage.— Did you ever visit at the Castle prior to the year 1796? I never visited at the Castle at all Was the present Lady Berkeley visited at the Castie by the ladies of tlie neighbourhood, prior to the year 1796? I do not recollect any ladies iu particular visiting her; I believe there were one or two? but I cannot positively say.— Was that lady that did, Mrs. Black? It was.— Do you remember anybody else, except Mrs. Black, visiting this lady? I think I have heard of a Mrs. Henry Jenner. With those two exceptions, do you recollect any other lady visiting at the Castle? I never remember any other lady.— Was she then received in the coun- try as Miss Tudot, or Lady Berkeley ? As Miss Til Jor. \.' ross- cxamined. Look at the signature, No, 329, in tiie year 1778; do yott see the signature ? I do.— Do you believe that to be the hand- writing of Hr. Hupsman? As far as I am ajndge. The witness wasdirected to withdraw. Then SIR IS A AC HEARD,< lartt r King of 4rms, was call- ed in, and having been suorn. was examined as follows: Do you remember having assisted in producing the evidence of the pedigree of Lord Berkeley in the year 1799? I do.— Did yon then receive any notes from Lady Berkeley upon the subject ? I beg leave to state to your Lordships, that I feel some pain in acknow- ledging that, because the production of private con- fidential letters iu the course of my professional duty I certainly am not a volanteer for; but I submit to the situation, and to the cause which has produced this demand.— Upon that occasion did you receive any notes from Lady Berkeley? I did.— Haie the gooduess to produce them? The witness produced a book, aud said, This i, a collection of proofs of pedi- grees and matters relative to the peers' pedigrees, which I collected at the time that the standing or- ders existed for proving peers pedigrees, now re- scinded. The first letter that I received I happened to see bound up here when these collections were made. My assistant bound them all together; and this is amongst this collection. The first that I have bears date April the 10th. The year is not set down, — Do you know in what year you received this? It was in the year 1799.— The witness read the notes as follow s : No. XIX.

The bottom is cut off, which I cannot account tor ; I know not bow it happened.— That word " examined with the original," does it import that you examined it with the original? I did.— Can you state whether that examination with the original of that, was sub- sequent to the others yon read before? Certainly subsequent.— Can you say how long it was subsequent to the other extracts? I cannot; it was some time after.— That was taken hy yon yourself? Yes, it was; I am pretty confident, and it was in the month of May. Cross- examined. You observe it precedes it in the book; how then do you know it was biought in afterwards? I have this remembrance, that I am pretty certain I had not then searched St. Martin's in the Fields, and Lady Berkeley's note, as far as I can say, brings it to my recollection that it was after; but the original is among the proofs in the House, to which I beg to re- fer with your Lordships' permission. lie- examined.

Yes.— According to your recollec- tion that was produced first? Yes.— CMr. Serjeant Best.) Have you any distinct recollection now, which you received first, the Berkeley or the St. Martin's register?
