TO BE LET, From the I st day of November last, AFARM of LAND, containing Thirteen Acres, Planta tion Measure, situate at BALLYNAXEIGU, on the County of Down side of the Lagan, lately in the Possession of Mrs. CAVAN, and held under the MARQUIS of DONE- GALL, for the remainder of the original Lease, far Three Lives, all in being, or 4 1 Years, from M » y, 1794, or what- ever shorter time may be agreed on. The above Farm is pleasantly situated on the Banks'of the Lagan, and within a few minutes walk of the Town of Belfast, by the New Bridge. Application to be made to CHARLES EASTWOOD, PARLIAMENT, HOUSE OF COMMONS—? RIDAY, MARCH IS. MUTINY BILL. On the motion for the fliird reading of the Mu- tiny bill, Sir F. BURDF. TT said, he was persuaded there were few Gentlemen who were not as desirous as himself to get rid of flogging in the army. In cases which required such severity, even death was preferable . to the lash ; it would conduce more to the good of the service, and it would better maintain the honour and character of the soldier and of the nation. He was persuaded that many Gentlemen were not aware of the consequences of the punishment which he repro- bated. Mr. Justice Blackstone put the individuals who had been punished by flogging on a footing with those who had been convicted of the worst and most disgraceful crimes. According to him, they might be challenged on juries, and were liable to other se- vere legal disabilities. He ( Sir F.) had found it im- possible to trace the way in which this practice had crept into the army; but he believed that it was only during the present war that it had been carried to a great extent. In. fact it was in the nature of such punishment to go on in an increasing ratio; for when a class of persons were accustomed to one degree of severity, it would soon cease to operate in preventing the commission of these offences, against n'hich it was originally directed- This was the uniform course of severe punishments in all countries, until at length they arrived at a pitch at which humanity shuddered, and were nevertheless found defective and inefficient. In the early Statutes, tl » e punishments of military of- fences, like those of other offences, were specified, and those, like other offences, were universally refer- red to the decision of Judges and a Jury. The 18th Henry VI. declared military desertion to be felony without benefit of Clergy, and provided that the of- fender should be tried by a Jury.— There were Sta- tutes of Henry VII. and of Edward VI. to the same effect.

One II and red and Twenty- Two Guineas Ii /<: II ' A R D. \ n7HEREAS, early on the morninf < if the 2Sth January ' .7 V instant, a House in Maghera, ar present occupied by Mr. WILLIAM MILLER, Excise Officor, was maliciously set on Fire, and partly Burnt, by r MtJ^ fr, li- Sl/ iiPerson or Persons as yet unknown. Now we whose Names ara hereunto subscribed, holding in abhorrence all such outrages, do hereby promise to pay the several Sums respeiftively annexed So our Names, to any Person who will, within Six Months from the date hereof, discov- r and prosecute to conviftion, any of the party guilty of said off nee; or one- halt of Baid sums for such private in- formation as may lead to the cenvi& ion of any of the per- petrators of the aforesaid outrage.— Given under our Hands this 28th day of January, 1812. while, by desertion, the punishment of death was declared to have been incurred. So it was during the reigns of Henry VIII. and Philip and Mary, and up to that last named period, military offences were tried by the same tribunals as offences of every other description, and were punished by similar inflictions. He believed that any upholder of the present system of flogging would be very much put to it to shew that it was the practice, evert in the armies under the glorious Duke of Marlborough. Indeed he ( Sir F.) had it from persons who had been very long in the army, that in their youth, years and years elapsed without, ( i solitary instance of the recurrence of ikis punishmeVit. In lieu of it men were drummed out of the regimVnt. Torture had been substituted for dis- missal. why? The only rea9on was, that our soldiers di< J not receive a reward adequate to their services. An Officer wae not flogged. To dis- miss him was considered a sufficient punishment for many offences ; but to dismiss a soldier was consi- dered a reward. The Judge Advocate had told the House the other day, that he had great consolation in informing them, that during the last year, there had been only eight soldiers sentenced to be flogged by General Courts- Martial,' and that of those sent - rices, only one had been inflicted, which one was also at the option of the offender, who preferred flogging to engaging in general service. He was at a loss to know whence the learned gent, derived his consola- tion. If he meant to say, that this disgraceful punish- ment had decreased in frequency, the facts which the learned gent, had stated, did not bear him out in the assertion. It was well known, that punishments of that description, consequent on the sentences of Ge- neral Courts- Martial, were never numerous. Had the learned gent. st « ed the matter fairly, he would have told the House how many floggings had been inflict- ed in consequence of sentences of regimental, and not of General Courts- Martial. In that case, he feared, that the learned gent, might have added the word " thousand," to the word " eight." Such he had been informed, was the fact, and in that case it could not be said that military floggiDg was on the decline.— Wkhi respect10 t'le eff? ct ' his species of punish- ment, the greater part, if not all the officers with whom he had any conversation on the subject, declar- ed una voce, that it was a mode of punishment which had been sadly abused, and that if it could not be got rid of altogether, at least the offences should be speci- £. i. d Alex.

By Order of the Cemmis* ioners, 755) EDWARD HARDM5VN. ( ied to which it might be continued to be applied.— In support of these verbal opinions, he quoted the written ones of Gen. Colbourne, Major James, Sir R. Wilson, Gen. Stuart, & c. who concurred in des- cribing flogging as a punishment cruel in the great- est degree, and so stigmatizing in its nature, that the man on whom it had been inflicted was rarely after- wards able to hold up his head. They declared, that for one who was reformed by the punishment, many a good soldier, ( guilty of no moral crim? parhaps), unable to bear the shame in which he was involved, become wholly regardless of his future conduct, and was lost to the service and the country. He had been informed that men who had undergone the tor- ture, which appeared to be too much for human na- ture, without a single complaint, had long afterwards been known to shed tears like a child, at the recol- lection of the digrace which they had suffered.— Whenever the officers of a regiment used proper vi gilance to see that the soldiers had their dues, when they removed the suspicion of ill- treatment, when they checked small offences, and thus repressed the spirit of disorder in its infancy— when a regiment was fortunate enough to possess such officers, there would be seldom found occasion to use a cat- o'- nine- tails.— Formerly much of the severity of military discipline arose from a suspicion ( too frequently well grounded) on the part of the soldiers, that they were unfairly treated. A great portion, however, of the causes of this suspicion had been done away in the British army. Discontent, therefore, and the offences to which it instigated, had diminished, and this horrible punish- ment was consequently rendered less necessary, if, in- deed, it could ever lie said to have been at all so.— It was imposjiMe to know how many soldiers died in consequence of this punishment- Not long ago no less than eight died at Gibraltar, in consequence of it. When a ninth man was brought to th? Court Martial, the officers, refused to inflict tile punishment upon i- inu ; They w- re dismissed and sent home; but on * repre- sentation nude to the Commander tti Chief the; were reinstated in their rank. In his first report of t'tit- s; cases, the surgeon stated that these Unfortunate na « n died of punishment; in his second, they died of fete: . There was one great advantage which attended the substitution of ihe punishment of death for that of flj;;- ging. It would not be so lightly indicted. Flogging was also a most unequal punishment. Not only d: j the severity of it depend in a great degree on the ca- price of the commanding officer under whose otders it was inflicted, but the sensibility of the unfortunate br - ing on whom it was inflicted. " But," saiii thos* who were opposed to him in opinion on this subjei t, " what shall we substitute for the punishment which you condemn ?" In the language, he believed, of a high and distinguished officer, the author of an article in James's Military Dictionary, he would reply, " I again say abolish it. I will not trust, myself to reason on the subject." If, indeed, he were asked what he would propose as a substitute equally base and dis- graceful, he should not know what to say in answer. But if he were asked for a different principle of discip- line, he would say, " reward." To reward the sol- dier better, would be to improve his conduct. 1' he country could well afford to do this, for it would be an useful expenee. It was lamentable to see brave' men wandering about the streets who had been depriv- ed of their limbs in those glorious battles of which we boasted, and to whom, as a remuneration for their services, the miserable pittance of tic/, or i) d. a d. iy had been allotted. What man could live on such tin allowance ? It was true that some who had served a long period, had It. la. 6d. and in some casts SJ. v. a day. But those whose services had been short, but who, during that service had lost an arm or a le^, were placed on the miserable allowance which he had described, and served rather as a hereon than as an encouragement to such as might otherwise be induced to embrace the military profession. On the contrary, if for gallant service in the field, or for any other ex- emplary conduct, the soldier were full and liberally rewarded— if the hope of promotion were held out to him as the incitement to courage and good conduct, it would be the means of getting rid of the odium oi' his present treatment. He should not refer to tin- usage of foreign armies— lie would confine himself to Britain to shew, that flogging was not a necessary in- gredient in military discipline. An illustrious instance of this truth was to be found in the conduct of his R. H. the Duke Gloucester, who having contrived to inspire his offio- rs with sentiments similar to his own, had, through the medium of their vigilance, and by the operation of a wise and enlightened military po- licy, abolished in his regiment, for the last four years, that ho. rid system of punishmest. In paying this tri- bute of gratitude to trie illustrious Duke, his gratifica- tion was increased, by his having been informed, that before his highness assumed the the command of that regiment, it was one marked by the sever it y of in corporeal punishment. Hence a double example rwas afforded. It was shewn that the men had not" 1 been mended by the former severity, but by the latter mildness they had been reclaimed. Tins regiment, and particularly one battalion of it, which was in Por- tugal, had so distinguished itself, that on a late me- lancholy occasion, when Lord Wellington found it expedient to order two of the soldiers of his army to be shot, he gave out in the general orders, that, it was not necessary that that particular fcattalion of gu trds should attend the execution, as they had uniformly shewn by their conduct, that they did not stand in need of any such example. ( Hear!) He undei stood, also, that the Commander in Chief disapproved of the present practice. He had no hesitation in saying ( although he had no precise authority for it), that Lord Moira considered flogging as unmanly. Lord Hutchinson was decidedly hostile to it. He had little doubt, also, from all that he had heard of Lord Wellington, that he was as anxious as any man to raise the moral character of his soldiers, by getting rid of this disgrace ; and, he had been told by officers who had served several years in Lord Wellington'< regiment in India, that they had scarcely recollected an instance of corporeal punishment being inflicted in that regiment. Another officer of distinguished cha- racter, General Money, had declared his opinion very explicitly on the subject. He had been told bv Ger- man officers, and he begged leave to defend himself from the accusation of having cherished illiberal feel- ings towards foreigners, and particularly Germans; on the contrary, he lud always maintained, that they were intitled to protection and hospitality ; and he objected only to the mode in which :# ey had been em- ployed in the British service. German officers had said to him, that flogging appeared to them to be the last punishment necessary to the British army, because the possession of the West Indies afforded a means of getting rid of any class of men disgraceful to that army which no other country enjoyed.— Military torture ought to be equally inadmissible with' civil torture. But the stiongest part of the case was, that, under the present circumstances, the whole po- pulation of the country was liable to the inflictiorr o£ this punishment. The father of any family migh' be taken from his home by force, and put into a situation in which he would be subject to military flooring.— He certainly was not surprised that there were per- sons ready to defend this system. He could not for- get the arguments which had been urged again11 the abolition of the Slave Trade itseif He could hot forget that the Slave Trade had been defended on the score of humanity.. He had even heard a defence of the Inquisition. To him it appeared as inadmissible to inflict torture for military purposes, as for the - pre- tended salvation of souls. It was most impolitic and most cruel. He should have hoped that < m rl> t » su'. r- ject no two persons could disagree. It h- « d . wilimfj to do with party. The opposition to the svs'em <•• - t founded on humanity; and in that point t v.,- v., needed not the aid of argument ; it was also t>> ur..;. « ! on pol'cy, and in that point of view,- could l> » u. - potted by irrefutable reasoning. Had the pl;. n org'- nated some years ago bv a late Right Hon. U. in, ( Mr Windha# t) been persevered in, the good effects would have been manifest. It was a plan which no consideration of economy ought to have intenupK: ' That Right Hon. Gent, had, for the fitst time ( how- ever imperfectly), impressed this great principle on the military set vice of the country, namely, thct tin- only lational foundation on which the good conduct <> f the soldier could be expected, was to better his condition. It was to satisfy his sense of duty n. ji. a fjyr continuation As se: nJ l. i^ t.) BELFAST COMMERCIAL CHKOtflCLF. PARLIAMENTARY INTELLIGENCE. ' ( In continuation from First Page.) the Subject, that aftet1 the third reading of the bill, it was his intention to propose a clause, the effect of which would be to put an end to the present system of military flogging. Mr. M. SUTTON began by observing, that the Hon. JSart. had called liis motion an appeal to the heart, rather than to the judgmons; he thought it an appeal to the pac- tions rather than to the reason. With regard to what had « llen from him m the course of his speech, ho was confident there was nothing from which the^ army would recoil with jnore horror than the disgusting, odious, and ( teerading pic- tore which the Hon. Bart had drawn of it. Was it to be • ildure< J- that a British soldier should be compared to a Wert Indian'tiave, and, declared bin inferior? Would Die army believe the Tlon. Baronet in tliis, or thank him for it? Happily,- however,- for th# honour of the army, it was as false as it was degrading. The Hon. Bart bad said that ar^ n who had undergone corporeal punishment, we: e never fcfh"-'. v; in] s fit for any tiling Had he inquired, however, he would have found that men so punished hall afterwards, their exemplary conduct, been promoted to the sanation • f non- commissioned officer*, cniftviim the unreserved confl- uence of their commanders— f Hear / )— Ho could state al- so, that as for as circumstances woulfl admit, there had been, and « till was, evprv disposition on the part of those who ad- Tninlstercd martial law, to diminish tf, e number of teases in which flogging was inflicted. He thought that if it were taken entirely out of the military code, it would be removed enly to substitute an arbitary powfr in. its stead •, whcrean now the men knew that they would be legally and solemnly tried, and that conviction produced the most baneful effects. Tlie Hon. Bart supposed he should be told in reply of the badness of the men, and of the cheapness of the punishment. He knew not, however, what right he had to Suppose any * nch reply j; and he could only say tliatthosuppor; ition. agrced with the w^ iolc tenor of his speech that night, in which he had constantly answered, by anticipation, his own arguments. He had alluded to the introduction of men from the hulks; 1> ut had the Tlon. Bart, been in his place when that discus- sion took place, he would have known that the Government - did not infuse such bad materials into the army as he seem- ed to suppose. As to the civil disqualification wliift he had asserted, upon the authority of Blaekstone, as the conse- quence of flogging, viz that a man who bad !> een flogged might be challenged as a juror, be believed it would be found that Judge Blackstone did not allude to military flogging, but to flogsjing for civil offences. He concluded by declar- ing, that he thought the proposition of the Hon. Bart, utter- ly inadmissible, and should therefore give it his most un- < Jtial:' fied dissent, when it came before the House in the regular way. • Mr. ABERCKOMBY thought the way in which the Hon. Bart, had proposed his motion obicctionab'c, and thare- f'lre he should vote against it, though he certainly was of opinion, that, if military flagging coald bu abolished, its abolition WSA desirable. ( Sir G. WARREtfDER begged leave to correct the Hon. in what he had said respecting promotions, by stating that after the battle of Ylhuera, and after many other battles that had been fought in Portugal, Lord Wellington ordered the list of Serjeants to be sent to " him, for the purpose of pno- those to bfi Officers who had behaved well— and he also, as Color."! of a militia regiment, had an opportunity of promoting three into the line, who now held- commis'- ions in tile regular army. The Hen. Bart, had wished that month- ly returns were sent in to the Commander in Thief, specify- ing the number and ^ ature < f the crimes committed, the pun- i> n, i » eiit inffictrd, Sc. Fit could inform him that half- yearly returns to that effect " were now sent in to the Office of the Commander in Chief, He Concluded by. observing, that if they toolr military flogging, they would create a disor- ffanization in the annv, for that punishment banging over the wads of the solders operated a prever. tior. tf offences. Mr. C. ADAMS ri liculed the idea ef attributing the chang- ty that wore gradually taking | liwe in the mode of militai . nunislnnents to the writings of Mr. Cbhliett. He did not l" nove whaf might have been the military education of hat person, but he relieved that if it had bean of that kind that subjected offenders to the wholesome fear of the lash, Mr. CoMiett might not only have escaped many awkward pre- dicaments fnto which he subseouently fell, but might have been now dwelting'in other lodgings th. ul tfioMi which he had then provided for himself.—( A general laugh. J Gen. I. OFIT'S thought that corooreil punishment could not he a'oolislied without endangering the discipliuc , of the armv. Capt. BENNKTT reprobated the system of military t floggir. i with considerable warmth. He thought the dis cusujn had been productive of great public tionefit, as to it were to be traced the improvements which had already taken place. Lord PALMERSTONE, in answer tothat part of the.' I? on. Bart's speech, which complained of all promotion being sh>< l against the private fuildior, stated, that after the battle } bf Busnco, commissions of Ensigncies had heen sent out for ten seneants, who had distinguished themselves in that action.— ' Hear ! ) Gen. TARLETOS said, th* bill, as it stood, had his entire support. At the same time he was satisfied the mo- tives of the Hon. Bart were pure and just, though his no- j tionr, on the subject were erroneous. So far from their being l> 0. rtwards to the soldiers ill the British « orvice, he contend- ed, that in point of pay, of a retreat after service, and in every other respect, they were greatly Superior to tho soldiers of any other country. Sir R. ROMTLLY thought, that delicacy ought to beob" terved in the mode of treating the present subject, but dis- cussion ought not, on that account, to be waived. He felt It his duty to support the clause proposed by the Hon. Ba- ronet Mr. WILBETU'ORCE recommended the opinion of other Officers, bejdos those of the regiment to which the ioldier who was to lie punished belonged, should lie taken, to that the soldier might be convinced he was not to be punished in conscqucoce of the cruelty of lu's own Officer., General FHIffPS and General PORTER both opposed fcc clause. Mr. WHlTBREAD said, was there not arbitrary and improper severity exercised when the thieves' cap could lie tied tight or loose, according to the caprice of the Officer?— Or when the punishnieut might, lie prolonged by the practice of counting between each lash ? Were not these reasons why the practice should lie entirely done away ? That the discussions on the subjcct had done good, was to be seen from the different language now held, from what it was when the subject was first introduced. Now it was the pride of Officers to state how few were the punishments in their re- giments ; then it was their pride to state how many they We. Then there were what they called flogging regiments; Bo such titles were now laid claim to. The Hon. Gent, said he felt great satisfaction that the clause of the Right Hon. Gent had been adopted last year, and lie entertained sanguine fcopes that the practice would in a short time be abolished al- together. On these and various other grounds, he should • ertainly vote for the clause proposed by tho Hon. Bart Col. FRANKLAND opposed the principle df entirely abolishing the practice of flogging in the army. Lord COCHRANE was of opinion that the power of in- ^ Ecting corporeal punishments ought not to lie taken from Courts- Martial. It would lie to ruin the saval service should • similar provision be extended to it. The question was then- put, and the bill read a third time. Sir F. BURDF. TT then rose, and adverted with great animation and effect to the argument* urged in the course of the debate. He read the passage from Blackstone, to which be had referred, and contended that it could not be difficult to devise other modes of punishment^ by the privation of or- dlntvry privileges and enjoyments. * Mr. ABERCROMBY wished to know if the number of punishments, intiictcd by'Courts- Martial could be ascertain- Mr. M. SUTTON, although he knew that corporeal pur.- ishments had decreased in Regimental Courts- Martial, Could pot apeak on the subject officially.

WAR BETWEEN RUSSIA & FRANCE. Two Mails from the North ( one from Anholt and another from Heligoland) arrived this morn- ing.— The nature of the intelligence brought by these Mails coincides entirely with what we long ago anticipated ; Bonaparte is about to take the field in person again. t Russia, at the head of 200,000 men. They are in four divisions of .50,000 each, and are commanded by the first- rate Generals of France: their names are, Marshals Massena, Berthier, Oudinot, and Davotist. Prussia, by fortifying Colberg, seems determin- ed to make a stand ; but this will be but of short duration— although we fire told in an article from Heligoland that fire Russian army amou. vLs 10 130,000 well disciplined troops. The rumour of an immediate declara^ on of war by Russia, Prussia, and Sweden,; jointly against France, is repeated in the letters ( brought by th'e above Mails f and the Stockholm Papers stiil loudly complain of the aggressions • if F. ance upon Sweden in the seizure of Pomerarna. The following are the most interesting articles of intelligence: " ANHOI. T, M ARCH 9. " Great events are in contemplation for the en- suing spring. An imroen e force, called the Army of the North, is already on fc. ot, and is to be com- manded by Bonaparte in person. Talleyrand is to remain at home lo plan the destruilion of States' during his absence. The army is in four divisions of 50,000 men each. The Ist commanded by Massena. the 2J by Davoust, the 3d by Oudinot, and the 4 h by Berthier. It will soon be known what part Prussia means to a. 3 in the great Con- tinental scramble. Positive orders have been given to defend Colberg, which has been put in a most respectable state of defence, and the inhabi- tants have been obliged to supply themselves with provisions for six months." " The French officers at Hari'iburgh publicly declare, that they are of opinion if the allied for- ces are not overpowered at the commencement, by the rapidity of the movements of the French tfoops, this will be one of the hardest struggles they have had to encounter.

The matrimonial alliance, between Mr. Pule j[ now Welleslcy) and MiSs Tylney Long, took pla^ on Saturday The parties met at Lord Mont^ omeiie's house, Picadilly, at live o'clock; and, about six, they went, in Lady Catherine Long's < oacli, to St. James's Church. The Maiquis of Wellesley handed Miss Long out of the carriage, and conducted her to the altar of Hymen. There were present Mr. Secretary Pole, Lady Cath. Long, Miss Diana Long, nrtd Mirs Emma Long; the two latter were bride's maids.— The usual forms being gone through, the happy couple retired by the southern gate.

The new married pair drove off for the tasteful chateau be- longing to the bridegroom's father, and thence pro- ceed to Wanstead House, in Essex, on the following day, to pass the honey- meon. The dress of the bride consisted of a robe of real Brussels point lace, the device a simple sprig ; it was placed over white satin. The bead was ornamented with a cottage bonnet, of the same material; viz.— Brussels lace, with two ostrich feathers, She wore a deep lace veil, and a white satin pelisse, trimmed with, swansdown. The dress cost 700 guineas; the bonnet, 1.50; and the veil, 2Q0 Mr. Pole wore a plain blue coat, with yellow buttons, a white waist- to. it, and buff breeches, and white silk stockings.

I do this as a sacred public duty, divested of all fear as to any con- f sequences whatever, and divested of all private con sideration.-- And I at the same time assure you, I ! shall be equally ready to maintain the honest cause of the People, ( and that cause inil assuredly triumph if the People are only true to themselves), by Jend- ing my aid towards the support of any other Gentle- man, who may be considered more able to promote that object which I hold dearest to my heart-— the in- dependence of Ireland in general— the honour and independence of the County of Down in particular. I am, Gentlemen, Your faithful and devoted servant, E. C. POTTING ER. Mount Pot linger, March 19. P. S. In order to , maintain the truth of this ad- dress, I shall endeavour to republish the addresses of the Candidates to the Electors of the County of Down in 1790, together with the resolutions cf the Northern Whig Club, a list of the Members, and other public document?, beyond denial or contradic- tion, and all tending to suppoirmy party and piinci- ples, and the facts 1 have set forth. .

He called | for his gun, which he loaded with a. ball- cartridge, ll and told them again to return, or he would fire at i! them, and as he was a good shot, he should kill t or wound one of them, Some one said, " Let him fire if he dare, pull away." The Captain then raised his piece, not to his shoulder, but un- der his arm, and fired. The witness thought the ball went over the ho^ r, and th? y on board did not know the shot had taken effeCt until after- wards. The Captain then loaded his gun again, but the Custom- house Officer fired it in the air. On cross- examination, he said there was not a bet- ter Captain, or more humane man existing in the world than the Prisoner; and that the ship, which was thus forfeited by the misconduCt of the crew, was the whole of his property, and worth about £ 2000. After he was informed that he had kill- ed one of the men, he had ever sir. ee supported his family. Haggis, the Officer of the Customs, corrobo- rated the evidence of the last witness. It appeared from the testimony of one of tire seamen in the boat, that the ball nnforrunately passed through the head of Farr, who almost im- mediately died. Mr. Serjeant Best and Mr. Knowlys contended, that this was justifiable homicide, as the crew were under martial law ; but the Lord Chief Baron was of opinion, that they were only the servants of the Captain, he being hired by the Post- Office, and not in his Majesty's service. A great number of witnesses were then called to the Prisoner's character, among whom was Mr. Freeling, Secretary to the Post- Office, and several . Naval Officers, who stated, that the Prisoner was a retired Naval Officer, and that his whole life had been marked for singular humanity. The Lord Chief Baron, in summing up, told the Jury, that the whole question in mat Jer turn- ed upon the faCl of malice being in the mind He then detailed the evidence, and dedred them to consider whether they could infer a malicious motive. The Jury found the Prisoner— puilty of Man- slaughter. The Lord Chief Baron then addressed the Pri- soner, and told him he ought not to fee! any dis- grace from being placed at that bar. It was fit that the violent death of any individual should be seriously inquired into. He had been enabled to produce testimonials of a character most honour- able to himself, and which he hoped he would continue to me/ it; it was such, that he felt justice would be satisfied with the sentence which he was about to pronounce, and that was, that " he should pay a fine of One Shilling, and be discharged."

The trial occupi. ft cd the Court the whole of the day. The Learned Judge in summing up the evidence, highly and justly complimented Mr. Redmond, for his perse- vering aflivity, in bringing the delinquent to jus- tice ; and for the unparalleled humanity evinced ia not having capitally indicted the prisoner. He also paid a vety high eulogium to the Clergyman, through whose love of justice, and moral rectitude, the principal evidence had been brought forward. At a quarter past seven o'clock, the jury retired, and after a few moments deliberation, returned a verdict of— Guilty. The prisoner was sentenced to be transported seven years. 1 CRANlV . Tl'TtY.

He recommended them to abstain from politics. There were, his Lordship said, two peculiar subjefts for the Jurors' consideration : first, a set of miscreants, who went about did at ing to the farmers the price of meal and other provi- sions, and calling themselves Carders. If the farm- ers did not put down those Carders, the Carders would discard the farmers. His Lordship spoke very much of the ancient town of Trim, in which, he observed, Parliaments had formerly sat, and in which were many ancient edifices, evincing its for mer splendor, and highly respectable situation from the sera of Henry II. He then said it was clear, that a banditti did exist in the country, and stated the fa£ t of their having cut open the Royal Canal in several places, and sluiced the country. He hoped the Grand Jury would not enter into poli- ties, and convert their deliberations into debates, such as was held at Tara, Sec.

There being no Coun- sel employed by the man, Lord Norbury examin ed the lady, and she was cross- examined by Mr, Mac Nally, as were the several other witnesses; but, as she could not swear positively to the iden- tity of the prisoner, he was acquitted.— He had an excellent character.

MILITARY pliOMOTIONS. WAR- OFFICE, MARCH 10, ENGLISH ASSIZES. Cmt. MsroRD, MARCH 12—. T. W. Rinter, the Master and Commander of the Post- Office packet the Lady Fraitci'S, % at- rying the mails from Har- wich to Anholt, was indicted for the murder of J hn Farr, a seaman on board the packet, on the 8th of October last, at Harwich. Mr. Poolev, as Counsel for the prosecution stated the circumstances of the case, which was disclosed by the following evidence :— John Battie, the Mate, stated, that the vessel was the sole property of the Captain, who was hired by the Post- Office to carry the Anholt mails, and that he had a commission from the Admiralty, and from the Post- Ofitce. They came into Har- wich river on the 8th » f last October, when Hag. gis, an officer of the Customs, came on board. On searching the vessel, it was found that the men had secreted a quantity of tea and spirits on board, on which Haggis said it was his duty to seize the vessel, and he accordingly, in the King's name, seized. The Captain wis then on shore, and the witness, as Mate, sent for him. When the Cap- tain came on board, he went down into the cabin, and Haggis told him he was under the disagree- able necessity of seizing the vessel, and advised him to apply on shore for relief. By the particu- lar directions of an ACt cf Parliament, if the men are guilty of any smuggling, the Captain is di- rected to send them on btard of a man of war, and the witness had read this clause to the crew.

Reichard had the temerity to - rscend from Konigfberg in a balloon on the 22d of J. tr. uary, when she ran great hazard of her life. The fol- lowing is her relation :— " The ascension was rapid, but regular, and without any considerable vacillation. 1 had scarcly passed the piouds, however, v. hen the swiftness doubled, and a violent hurricane tossed the balloon to and fro, i* all direCti > ns. 1 « as standing in the gondola, holding, with one lund, the inferior orifice tightly closed, and, with the other, my barometer, suspended by a string. The balloon became, on a sudden, prodigiously inflated, and the mercury in the barometer stood only at 11 inches. I fainted; the cold and ex- tremely rarified air having nearly deprived me of respiration. I, however, in a moment recovered my senses; but this moment was the most feartui of my life. I found myself lying in roe gondola, my barometer I had lost. The first artsjeCt I per- ceived was the balloon empty, torn . thr > « gh whole length, thus forming several long'snips, floating in the middle of the net. which was torn in the same manner. Several deticfted pieces of it were likewise floating in the air. I started up suddenly, seeing death thus staring me in the face, and by this motion, a part of the net, which still held the balloon, was torn wifh violence, and I was only suspended by some threads. A mmnenc after, another gust of wind struck the side of the taffety : and to descend through the clouds, touch liie summit of some trees, and faint away aj^ ain, was the affair of an instant. When I canic to my senses, I found myself in the house of Sieur Tliicr. mann, at Saupitz." Thither, in faCt, Madame Reichard had been conveyed, half dead, by some peasants, who hVi found her on a rock, with the remains of her loon, and by her side the gondola, which only lu- ld by three of eight cords by which it had bjen ori- ginally suspended. — ui j J- J— a J - - III ..
