The Lottery and Additional Excise Bills were passed. Earl Stanhope presented petitions against any al- terations in the Corn Laws, from the inhabitants of St. Luke's, Chelsea; and from St. Andrew's, Holborn. — Ordered to lie on the table. The Earl of Hardwieke submitted his motion for a Committee on the Corn Laws; in doing which he made some remarks on the general expediency of the measure, and the necessity of having facts in preference to opinions before them. Lord Darnley seconded the motion, and dwelt on the danger of giving way to popular clamour. The I hike of Athol agreed in the expediency of the measure, and hail no doubt it would come out that the lauded and commercial interests were as one and the same. The motion being put, a discussion arose on the manner in which it was worded. Lord Lauderdale was of opinion that there were more interests concerned in the inquiry than those specified, and moved, that instead of " landed and commercial interests," the words " as relating both to the growers and consumers of grain," be inserted. In the end an amendment proposed by Earl Grey, viz. " To inquire into the state, growth, consumption, and commerce of grain, and all laws relative thereto,' was agreed to, and a Committee ordered to be ap- pointed, and to meet at two o'clock on Monday. The Bill to allow the Exportation of Grain was read a second time, and ordered for a third reading on Monday, to which day the House adjourned. MONDAY, JUNE 13. The Earl of Liverpool brought down a Message from the Prince Regent, intimating, that his Imperial Majesty, the Emperor of Russia, Having applied to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent for leave to disem- bark a portion of his troops at Portsmouth, which troops were again speedily to be embarked on board the Russian fleet, for the purpose of proceeding to their own country, his Royal Highness had been graciously pleased to grant permission for their being landed; and to direct, that the necessary accommodations be afforded them. — The Message was ordered to be taken into consideration the following day. The Earl of Hardwieke moved for certain papers connected with the inquiry into the Corn Laws, for the purpose of their being laid before the Committee, — Agreed to. On the question being put for the third reading of the corn Exportation Bill, Earl Stanhope moved as an amendment that the words " to be exported at all times" should be left out, These words, he contended, had been most imprudently inserted, as they permitted exportation at a lime when the country might be starving. An alarm had gone forth on this subject, and lie thought that some regula- tion should be made as to the time when the ports should be shut. Lord Hardwieke opposed the amendment as unne' cessary, and contrary to tile principle of the Bill. Lord Lauderdale was of opinion, that the insertion of the words " at all times," was wholly unnecessary. The question was then put and negatived; as was also an amendment by Lord Lauderdale for leaving out the words " also all bounties." The Bill was then read a third time and passed. TUESDAY, JUNE 14. Lord Rolle presented several petitions against alter- ing the Corn Laws. On the motion of Lord Hardwicke, several orders were made for the attendance of witnesses on the Corn Committee, and a message was ordered to the Commons, to request that House to permit the attend- ance of some of its Members. Lord Liverpool moved the order of the day for the consideration of the Prince Regent's Message or Com munication relative to the landing of the Russian Guards; and the order being read, his Lordship said that he did not think it. necessary to preface the ad- dress by a single word, except this, that it was not in- tended to keep the troops here a moment longer than was necessary for their being conveniently embarked again to be seat. home, lie then moved an Address to the Prince Regent, merely thanking him for the com munication, in the usual form, which was agreed to. The consideration of the Treaty of Peace, which stood for Thursday, was postponed to that day week. HOUSE OF COMMONS. FRIDAY, JUNE 10. Mr. Broadhead, in consequence of certain proceed- ings in a Court of Law, in which two Members of that House were implicated, gave notice that he should on Tuesday next move for a copy of the conviction. Mr. Rose brought up the Report of the Committee appointed to enquire into Capt. Manby's Experiments, which was ordered to lie on the table. The Chancellor of the Exchequer communicated the Royal Assent to an extension of Lord Hill's grant. The Chancellor of the Exchequer rose to move four millions for the Army Extra ordinaries. It was a higher sum than any. except that of last year; but the House would remember that the army had been kept up to the highest pitch. In answer to a question from Mr. Baring, he- Stated, that about three millions and a half would be sufficient for our foreign subsidies ; and that allowance must be made for the return of the troops from abroad. Mr. Whit bread wished to know if armies were to be kept up in Sicily and the Netherlands ? Lord Castlereagh said, that it would be necessary to keep part of our army abroad, between the conclu- sion of the definitive treaty with France, and that of the general arrangements of Europe. It was never the policy of any country to disarm, suddenly, pending the general arrangements after a peace. Mr. Tierney wished to know whether any reduc- tion was soon to be made in the home staff? He bought the earliest possible opportunity should be taken to shew that it was intended to reduce our ex- pences after the peace. Lord Palmerston - said, that a very considerable re- duction would be made during the present year in the staff of the country ; but none had taken place yet, as none of the nixes at home had been disbanced. A conversation took place between Mr. Baring, Mr. Bennett, Mr. Huskisson, Mr. Bankes, and Mr. Vansittart, after which the Resolution was agreed to. The Chancellor of the Exchequer then moved for a. sum of three millions to repay the Bank for that sum advanced on Exchequer Bills, under the provisions of the 47th and 43th of the king; which, after some conversation between Mr. Huskisson, Mr. Baring, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, was agreed to. The Chancellor of the Exchequer next moved a far- ther sum of three millions tor payina, oft any Exche- quer Bills granted on the aids of l813, which might, be unprovided for in 1814.— Agreed to. The Chancellor of the Exchequer then moved a sum of one million for paying off any changes which i v become payable in the present year, on the grants to the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia The whole amount of the sum wis three mthones and a half.— The Resolution was then agreed to, and the Report ordered to be received on Monday, to which day the House adjourned. MONDAY, JUNE 13. LORD COCHRANE AND MR. C. JOHNSTONE Mr. Broadhead said, that he had received a letter this morning, stating, that the record of the conviction of the persons on the late vial, could not be made out in time for his motion; he, there- fore, wished to postpone it till Tuesday week.—• Ordered accordingly. The Chancellor of the Exchequer brought up a Message from the Prince Regent, which was read by the Speaker. It purported that his Royal Highness thought it proper to acquaint the House of Commons, that his Imperial Majesty the Em- peror of Russia wished that a part of his Guards might be landed at Portsmouth, to be re- embarked as soon as possible, in the Russian fleet: that his Royal Highness had consented to the proposal, ana had ordered proper accommodation to be pro- vided for those troops.— On the motion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, thanks were then voted to the Prince Regent, tor his gracious com- munication. Mr. Whitbread asked the number of the Rus- sian troops who were to be landed, and whether they were to be subsisted at the expence of the Russian Government, or of our own. The Chancellor of the Exchequer replied, that as far as he was. at present informed, the expence would be defrayed by the Russian Government.— The number of the troops was about 8,000. THE BUDGET. The House having resolved into a Committee of Ways and Means, The Chancellor of the Exchequer rose to sub- mit the terms of the Loan for the service of the year; and also the proposed means for meeting the expences of that Loan. First he would take the Navy, and here the whole sum required, exclusive of the Ordnance sea- service, had been already voted, and amounted to 18,786,5091. ' The same item of service last year amounted to 20,575,0111. here, therefore, was a saving of 1,768,4021. 1 he whole amount of the grant required for the Army would be 18,121,1731. This sum included Ire- land, with the Barracks and the Commissariat.— Last year the grant under the same head was 18,920,5371. being 800,0001. more than the grant for the present year. The next head of service was the Extraordinaries for England, these would amount to 9,000,0001.; for last year, the grant was 9,500,0001.; here was a further reduction therefore of 500,0001. The Extraordinaries for Ireland would be the same as last year, namely, 200,0001. The unprovided ditto tor last year amounted to 6,350,1321. ' The Ordnance, includ- ing Ireland, for this year, would be 3,955,6581.; for last year it was 5,101,2941. The miscellaneous of the present year were the same as the last, 2,500,0001. Before the close of the Session, a vote of Credit of three millions for England, and 200,0001. for Ireland, would be asked, The Vote of Credit of last year was six millions tor England and 200,0001. for Ireland. Under the head of Sub- sidies, three millions had already been voted, 1,200,0001. was still to be voted, and a vote for Bills of Credit to our Allies, of one million farther would also be taken. The whole sum amounted to 67,313,4721.— This was certainly a very large sum, and must be so considered, not only in a lime of peace, but even of war. But Gentlemen would recollect, that the first six months of this year would be the most expensive of any period of the war. and . out exertions had been greater, it would also be recolleeted that a great part of our force was still kept up, and though at peace on the Con- tinent, we were still at war with an enemy, on whose account we were under the necessity of supporting a large and expensive establishment. Under these circumstances, the sum required, though great, was barely adequate to our wants. He should now proceed to state the heads of sepa- rate charges, as follow:— To pay lit" Loyalty Loan - 71,320 Interest 01.

But though the Customs had failed, the Excise had risen upwards of one million.— The Right Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to enumerate the produce of the Duties on Tea, Beer, Tobacco, and other articles of Excise, all of. which had in- creased.— The Stamp Duties, also, he said, fiad risen from 5,140,0001. to 5,382,0001.; the Post' Office from 1,155 0001. to 1,389,000. The As- sessed Taxes had also increased near one. million ; and the Property Tax, which, last year, up to the 5th of April, 1813, produced 12,8( 58,0 ) 01. had, up to the 5th of April, 1814, risen to 14,405,00,)!.— an increase of near two millions. The whole sun) borrowed by way of Loan was 24 millions, of which 5| millions was for Ireland, and 18^ millions for England. . The terms were, for every 1001. sub- scribed in cash, 301. Navy 5 per Cents. 801. 3 per Cents. Reduced, and 23. jl. 3 per Cent. Consols, should be given. And instead, as had been the practice on former occasions, of giving an arrear of interest, interest was only to begin to run from July, by which a considerable saving would accrue to the public. Upon a fair calculation, the interest which the Loan would bear to the public would be 41. l2s. Id. with a bonus to the subscribers of 31. 7s. per cent. The interest of the Loan would amount to 856.0001. to provide for which it was proposed to institute a Sinking Fund of 1 per cent, lie should conclude with moving a Resolution— " That the sum of 24,000,0001. for the service of Great Britain and Ireland, be granted to his 31a- Mr. Ponsonby said, by the Act of Parliament, the Property Tax was to cease on the 5th of April after the signing of the peace. Now the treaty of peace was signed in May ; the tax had therefore eleven months to run. The people had hitherto paid this oppressive tax, because they thought it necessary ; they had a right to expect the tax to cease on the 5th of April next, and hoped it would then expire, and bi heard of no more. The Resolution was then put and agreed to. TUESDAY, JUNE 14. The Report of the Committee of Ways and Means was brought up, and the Resolutions of Monday respecting the Loan were agreed to. On the suggestion of Lord Castlereagh, the con- sideration of the Treaty of Peace was deferred till Monday next. On the motion of Mr. Holford, leave was given to bring in a Bill for the better management of the prisons in the metropolis. HOUSE OF LORDS. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15. On the motion of the Earl of Hardwicke, it was ordered that a message be sent to the Commons de- siring the attendance to- morrow of certain Members of that House before the Committee sitting on the Corn Laws. Lord Erskine presented a Petition signed by 10,700 persons against the proposed alteration in the Corn Laws. On the motion of the Earl of Hardwicke, that the Cambridge Canal Bill be read a third time, a long discussion ensued, in which considerable opposi- tion was made to certain of its clauses. On that which allows six years. for the completion of the undertaking, a division took place, when there ap- peared in favour of the clause 16— against it 19.— The Bill was afterwards passed. HOUSE OF COMMONS. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15. In a Committee of Supply, Mr. Lushington moved that 1,500,0001. be granted to pay off out- standing Exchequer Bills.— This Resolution was agreed to. In the Committee of Ways and Means, Mr. Lushington obtained leave to raise 6,000,000 by Exchequer Bills, for the service of the year 1814. Mr. Bennet, after a few prefatory observations, moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the Abolition of Gaol Fees, and other Fees collected in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. After some conversation between , Sir J. Shaw, Sir J. Newport, and Mr. Thompson, the motion was acceded to. Lord A. Hamilton gave notice of a motion on Friday se'nniight upon the subject of the resumption of cash payments. On the motion of Mr. Serjeant Onslow, the Ap- prentice Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. Long brought in a Bill for the better regu- lation of the Payment of Army Prize Money. Mr. Lushington brought in the New Loan Bill, which was read a first time. The Cape Wine Bill was read a third time, and The Irish Exchequer Regulation, the Irish Cus- toms Duties, and Auction Bills, were severally read a second time, and ordered to be committed. Lord Palmerstone, on a suggestion from Mr. Tierney, consented to postpone the Army Estimates till Friday se' nnight, should the previous business on Friday next render it inconvenient to enter upon the discussion. LONDON. THE ROYAL VISITORS. Friday morning the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia breakfasted, with the Duchess of Oldenburgh at the Pulteney Hotel, and afterwards set out for Ascot Races, accompanied by . Marshal Blucher. General Platoff, Count Rasoumouski, Field Marshal Barclay de Tolli, Baron Kudriafski, the Prince Gagarine, and the other Generals and Aides- de- Camp of the Emperor. When the illus- trious party arrived at Richmond, they stopped at the Star and Garter Tavern, where they partook of an elegant cold collation. From theme they pro- ceeded to Ascot Heath. Soon after twelve the Emperor Alexander and his amiable sister arrived in a carriage and four, amidst the cheerings of the multitude, and took their stations ill the Royal stand. They bowed to the company in return for continued plaudits. Her Majesty and the Princesses soon followed; and the next arrival was the King of Prussia, who had his share of honest congratulation. The Prince Regent next arrived, amidst the universal plaudits of the assemblage ; and then the Duke of York, who was hailed with general demonstrations of respect. The Royal stand was, at this time full, and the universal call of the thousands assembled was— " Blucher, Blucher!"—" Platoff, Platoff!" His Royal Highness the Prince Regent condescendingly informed the company that neither had yet arrived, The Emperor Alexander was then called, when his Majesty came forward amidst applause which rent the air. Her Majesty, the Prince Regent, and the Princesses, were respectively called, and each re- ceived the rapturous greetings of the immense mul titude. The gallant Blucher now arrived, and the ecstacy of the company was beyond all description. The horses were about to start, but it was impossible to clear the course. The noble veteran approached to the front of the box, and was universally cheered for several minutes. No attention whatever was paid to the racing, except by those concerned in betting. His Royal Highness the Prince Recent con- descendingly informed the company, that Count Platoff was now coining, and pointed to him on horseback. The moment the hero alighted, hun- dreds, male and female, shook his hands. After having made his obeisance to the Royal Personages, he appeared in front, and was saluted in the same manner as Marshal Blucher. General Blucher, accompanied by his Royal Highness the Duke of York and Mr. Lake, rode down the lines after the first race. Nothing was heard but " Blucher, Blucher ! ' The Ladies in the stands waved their handkerchiefs, and the gal- lant General saluted in bis turn. The Emperor and the King of Prussia, accompanied the Duchess of Oldenburgh off the course alter the second race, and it was with much difficulty the populace were restrained from taking the horses from the carriage After the races his Royal Highness the Prince Regent retired from the ground, accompanied by her Majesty. Dinner was provided for 100 persons at Frogmore, including the Royal Family, the distinguished Foreigners and their suite. The august, party first visited the Castle and viewed the pictures and other curiosities. Among the Nobility and Gentry were the Duke of Rutland, Marquis Cornwallis, Earl Yarmouth, Earl Westmorland, Marquis of Huntley, the Hon. B. Craven, and fifty others.— Their Imperial and Royal Majesties re- turned to town about midnight, highly gratified with the sports and entertainments of the day. The Emperor Alexander, accompanied by his sister, the Duchess of Oldenburgh, proceeded on Saturday morning to visit the Bank of England. They were attended by the Earl of Yarmouth, General Turner, and their suite, in three Royal carriages. The Governor, Deputy- Governor, and the Court of Directors, received them at the grand entrance, and conducted them through the different departments. The Emperor took several oppor- tunities of expressing his complete approbation of the excellent arrangements of this great national establishment. The same afternoon, Earl Grey, Lord Grenville, Lord Holland, Lord Erskine, and other distinguished Statesmen, were introduced to the Emperor of Russia and King of Prussia, and had each the honour of being most graciously re- ceived. On Saturday evening our illustrious visitors, the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia, ac- companied by his Royal Highness the Prince Re- gent, honoured the King's Theatre with their pre- sence. As early as half past six o'clock, every seat in the Gallery and Pit was titled, and all the avenues to every part of the Theatre were choaked up with multitudes who could not get places.— At ten o'clock the Prince Regent entered, and was greeted with a general burst of applause. The Emperor of Russia and King of Prussia instantly followed, and were received in like manner, and ac- clamations from all parts of the house continued for some minutes. God save the King was finely sung by Grassini and Tremezzani, and was most enthusiastically encored. The Imperial and Royal Sovereigns seemed highly sensible of these pa- triotic and loyal effusions, and kept continually bow- ing with the greatest condescension and affability to the different parts of the house. Shortly after the entrance of the Prince Regent, the Princess of Wales came into the house, magnificently habited in black velvet, with a diadem and plume beaming with diamonds. She was loudly applauded. The Prince Regent immediately bowed three times to- wards the box wherein her Royal Highness was situated; an immense applause followed these in- dications of attention, to which her Royal High- ness made a suitable return. The Emperor Alex- ander also bowed twice in the same direction, and continued to look for some time through his glass towards the Princess's box. About eleven, Marshal Blucher appeared in one of the lower boxes. On Saturday night Viscount and Viscountess Castlereagh entertained the Emperor of Russia, the King of Prussia, the Duchess of Oldenburg, the Prince Regent, and their numerous suite, with a grand supper, after their return from the Opera. The Royal Party didnot break up till three o'clock in the morning. Soon after three o'clock on Sunday afternoon, the Emperor of Russia and King of Prussia appeared in the ride of Hyde Park. They were accom- panied by the Dukes of Kent and Gloucester, the Princes of the House of Brandenburg, the Prince of Wirtemberg, Count Platoff, and the entire of their respective staffs. The gallant veteran Blucher soon after entered the ride, and attracted no small degree of attention. He was mounted on a small white horse, and followed by a Prussian lancer, ac- companied by an equestrian groupe formed of va- rious classes of society, all eager to behold a man whose military services, in the emancipation of Europe, have been the theme of general admiration and applause. ROYAL VISIT TO WOOLWICH. — By seven o'clock on Monday morning the Amiralty, Navy, and Ordnance Barges, were collected at Whitehall- stairs, gaily decorated with streamers, pendants, and banners. A band of music was stationed in one of them. The Admiralty Barge displayed the royal standard, the others the Russian and Prus- sian flags. At nine o'clock precisely, a gun was tired, as a signal that the embarkation of the Il- I • - - - - . . . . . .. lustrious Visitors and the Prince Regent was about to commence. The Regent was escorted by xi party of the horse guards to Whitehall- stairs ; and the Emperor of Russia, the Grand Duchess of Oldenburgh, and the King of Prussia by detach- ments of the blues. As soon as the Illustrious Visitors stepped on board, the band struck up " God save the King," and the fleet moved off, gliding gently down, and greeted with the accla- mations of the thousands assembled on the wharfs and shores. Off London Bridge, the City Barges, with the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, & c. joined the procession. On the arrival of the Royal Visitors off Woolwich, the Thisbe, bearing the flag of Vice- Admiral Legge, and other ships, fired a salute; and manned their yards. The ship named after the Hero of Trafalgar was inspected. The Royal Party then proceeded to the Arsenal and Laboratory, and on their arrival a discharge of great guns took place; the Earl of Mulgrave, the Officers of Ord- nance, & c. receiving them. IN addition to the works exhibited, a quantity of the Congreve rockets were displayed.— Marshals Blucher, De Tolli, Platoff, & c. accompanied their respective Sove- reigns. Lord Melville and other Lords of the Admiralty, the Secretary, Mr. Croker, the Comp- troller and Commissioners of the Navy, were in the procession.— About six o'clock the Royal Party and their attendants commenced their return to town by the Way of Greenwich. The Prince Regent preceded the cavalcade in a close car riage, the Emperor of Russia and the Duchess of Oldenburgh were seated in an open carriage, as were also the King of Pussia, and tile Princes, his sous, in another. The road from Woolwich to London was lined with carriages, and the same eagerness was evinced by the people to behold the Emperor as on his first arrival in town. The Il- lustrious Party was every where greeted with loud and incessant plaudits.— About half past seven o'clock they passed over Westminster Bridge, on their return to town. The avenues leading to St. James's Palace, and the Pulteney Hotel had been crowded to excess from four o'clock till that time. — In the evening the Prince Regent and his Im- perial and Royal Visitors dined with the Marquis of Stafford, at Cleveland House. Carriages and horses were on Monday night or- dered to be in readiness for the Prince Regent, the Emperor of Russia, and King of Prussia, and their suites, to leave London on Tuesday morning for Oxford. The Emperor and the Duchess of Olden- burgh, the King of Prussia, and all the Royal suites, set out before seven o'clock. The Prince Regent left Carlton House by a quarter before six, to be in readiness to receive his illustrious guests. Marshal Blucher , attended by his Aide- de- Camps, followed at half past seven, in a private carriage, from his residence in St. James's Palace. All the other suites travelled in Royal carriages.— The Duke of York also left town for Oxford. The Prince Regent, in his private carriage and four, arrived at Oxford at twelve, and was received with great ceremony by the Chancellor of the Uni- versity and heads of Colleges, the Mayor and Cor- poration, who conduct d him to apartments pre- pared for his reception at Christ Church College. His Royal Highness was accompanied in his way through the city, by the Duke of York, and followed by a long train of Nobility, Clergy, and Members of the University. An Address was presented to him, to which be made a most gracious answer. In about an hour afterwards, the Emperor and his sister, the King of Prussia and his sons, tiered the city, in open barouches, drawn by post horses. The Emperor and the Duchess proceeded to Merton College, the King to Corpus Christi. At four Blucher arrived, whose presence was the signal tor the most enthusiastic acclamations. On his arriva; bring made known to the Prince Regent, an order- was sent to bring him to Christ Church, where he was received with the most marked politeness. Addresses of congratulation were presented by the Mayor and Corporation to both the Sovereigns, ln the evening a grand dinner was given by the Uni- versity to the Regent, the Emperor, and King, in the Radcliffe Library, which is a magnificent edi- fice of a circular form, admirably adapted, from the construction of the interior, for a superb entertain- ment, on a scale suitable to a large and splendid assemblage of dignified personages. About 200 dined, of whom 50 were the Prince's guests.— At night the city was illuminated. The following morning the Royal Personages, with their attend- ants, appeared at the Theatre. Honorary degrees were conferred by a Convocation on the Emperor and King, Prince Metternich, Count Leiven and Field Marshal Blucher. The Chancellor proposed a diploma for the degree of LL. D. for the Duke of Wellington, which was immediately passed, the two Sovereigns joining in the votes, as Doctors of the University.— The ceremonies of the Theatre being over, the Monarch went to the Town- Hall, where the freedom of the city was presented to them and Marshal Blucher in gold boxes. The Em- peror and the Duchess of Oldenburg then set off for Woodstock, with the King of Prussia, three Prussian Princes, the Prince of Orange, & c.— Some of the Marlborough family preceded them, to do the honours of Blenheim. The Emperor and Duchess of Oldenburg, and the King of Prussia and his party, returned at five front Blenheim, and soon after left Oxford for London, The Emperor ami the King of Prussia, accus- toined to the hardships of the tented field, declined using the magnificent beds prepared for them. The former sleeps it poo a st: uw paillasse. , The King of Prussia ordered all the fine satin- wood fur- niture to be removed out of his bed- room, and a plain table and glass, with oue common chair, to be substituted. When the bed was removed his Majesty's camp equipage was brought in, from whence were taken a leathern mattress and bolster; these Were placed upon a common couch. The following is the answer of the Emperor of Russia to the Address of the Mayor and Corpora- tion of Dover Although, Gentlemen, I under- stand your language. I do not feel myself suffi- ciently acquainted with it to reply to you in English, and I must therefore request those Gentlemen of the Deputation who speak French to be my inter- preters to those who do not." The remainder of his Majesty's answer was in French, as follows:— " I am much pleased to find, by the sentiments you have expressed, that the service rendered by my armies in the great cause in which we have been engaged, are so highly considered by the British nation. I can assure you, that by no means the smallest gratification I derive front the late cam- paign is the opportunity it has afforded me o' visiting England— a country for which I have long entertained the highest esteem. Gentlemen, I beg you will accept my thanks for this mark of your attention, and my best wishes for the welfare of the town ; and assure yourselves I shall always endea- vour to preserve a cordial friendship between Eng- land and Russia." THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA.— Reasons of state, front various circumstances, prevented this Mo- narch,— who, during successive wars, terminated by treaties at Campo Formio, Luneville, at Pres- burg, at Vienna, contended with the now deposed enemy of the civilised world, for the independence of Europe,— from associating himself with his bro- ther Sovereigns, in their visit to this country, on the event of general peace. But though Iris Impe- rial Majesty's return to his own dominions ap- peared necessary, he has taken suitable steps to acknowledge the high character displayed by Great Britain, in the general cause of nations. With this view he commanded Prince Metternich, his Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Count Meer- veldt, his Ambassador here, to pay the highest marks of his respect and esteem to his Ally, whose councils had so mainly contributed to the desired success. On Wednesday se' nnight those two No- blemen had a formal and special audience of the Prince Regent at Carlton- House, to which they were introduced by Lord Castlereagh, when the two Austrian Ministers invested the Prince Re- gent with the Order of the Gulden Fleece, which is one of the most ancient and illustrious orders in Europe; and " the Garter," both of Austria and of Spain. No British Monarch ever before was a Knight of the Golden Fleece. It is not worn like most other orders; the decoration consists of a Golden Fleece suspended by a red ribband hung over the shoulders, and ornamented with diamonds, according to pleasure. The usual oaths on inves- titure were, of course, dispensed with, it being a Catholic Order. The Lord Mayor having had an interview with the Prince Regent, upon the subject of a Resolu- tion of a Court of Aldermen and Common Council, for inviting his Royal Highness to dine with the Corporation in Guildhall, his Royal Highness ex- pressed the pleasure he should feel in accepting the invitation. On the resolutions- for inviting the Emperor of Russia and King of Prussia on the same day being communicated to his Royal High- ness, he kindly undertook to be the bearer of the invitation himself, and expressed his conviction that those august Personages would feel equal de- light with himself in dining with the Corporation. It has been determined, in consequence of a communication between the City Remembrancer and Viscount Sidmouth, that the grand entertain- ment to be given by the Corporation of the City of London to the above illustrious characters, shall take place in Guildhall on Saturday the 18th inst. ( this day.) As it is to be a State dinner, the King's Yeomen of the Guard, the Gentlemen Pen- sioners, & c. will attend in- their proper places in the procession, and in every respect the entertain- ment is to resemble that given on occasion of a Coronation.— The greatest exertions have been made for several days past by the workmen in this ancient edifice for the reception of the Royal Guests. The Court of Common Council, the Courts of Law, and various other places have been repaired and cleaned.. . The Committee are indefatigable in their exertions to make the entertainment- worthy of the occasion. Accounts have arrived from Norway of the final acceptance of the Government of that coun- try, by the Prince now King Christrian I. who took the oaths of fidelity to the people and Constitution, in the presence of the Diet, renouncing all claim to the succession of the Crown of Denmark. All who acknowledge the authority of the King of Denmark, or who do not approve of the new order of things, are permitted to leave the country. By his Majesty's sloop Venus, which is arrived at Hull, we learn, that the Coronation of Prince Christian, as King of Norway, took place on the 3d instant, and that there had been great rejoicings in consequence. This information was obtained by the Venus from a vessel she detained Coming from Norway. The Norwegians were acting with the more boldness, having obtained large supplies of provisions. The Paris papers contain the arrangements for the new organisation of the French army, accord- ing to which it is to consist of the following num- bers, viz. Infantry - - - 144,795 Cavalry - - - 36,137 Artillery - - - 15,993 Engineers ... 4,345 The return of peace was celebrated last week by a very singular spectacle in Scotland. A bon- fire was lighted at night on the top of the re- markable isolated mountain in Lanarkshire, called Tinto, at a spot on which there was an accumula- tion of stones, which must have been conveyed there by the most extraordinary exertions, called a cairn. Fifty loads of coals, and large quantities of wood, were employed for the fire. Several sheep were roasted whole, and ale and whiskey went round in abundance. The fire, which was lighted at nine at night, had a noble and brilliant effect; the cairn of Tinto is seen from 17 counties, and from the Atlantic and German oceans. Maritime expeditions are already preparing in the French ports, to take possession of the colo- nies and factories which have been ceded by Great Britain. A German Journal asserts, that the Emperor of Russia will have the title of King of Poland, and that the Grand Duke Constantine will govern that country in quality of Viceroy. There is in the Paris Papers an article from Lyons, dated June 1, from which it appears that Cardinal Fesch, the uncle of Bonaparte, is still Archbishop of Lyons, and Primate of all France.— He had ordered a solemn Te Denm, public prayers, and thanksgivings, on the 30th of May, for the re- turn of his Majesty Louis XV 111. Bonaparte's repudiated wife Josephine left, ac- cording to the Paris Papers, personal property to a great amount. It consisted principally of anti- quities, paintings, sculptures, and other rare and valuable designs of art. On the 8th of May a brig arrived at Civita Vec- chia from the Isle of Elba. On the ship's papers were inscribed the " Emperor Napoleon, sovereign of the Isle of Elba, & c." The master reported that Bonaparte had already given orders for the erec- tion of an arsenal, an hospital, and other public works on the island. The people of Madrid, or at least those who read the English papers, appear much hurt at the freedom of the sentiments expressed in them on the dissolution of the Cortes and the re- establishment of the Inquisition. The appearance of the King at the Theatre is considered a proof of the libera- lity of his opinions.; and it is even quoted as a pledge to the. public, that he is not subject to the controul of bigotted advisers, and religious ca- suists. ' .-'" j We have the satisfaction to announce the safe arrival of the Duke of Wellington on the 24th ult. at Madrid. An article in the Moniteur of the 9th inst. states this fact, which is a sufficient contradic- tion of the late report of his Grace's assassination, He was received with the honours due to his rank, and admitted as a Grandee of Spain to kiss the King's hand. A Royal Ordinance has been published in all v the sea- ports of France, importing, that during the continuance of the war between Great Britain and the United States of America, tin vessel shall he- armed in any of the ports of the kingdom in behalf of either of the belligerents, and that no French subject must take any share in such equipments. Art Address has been presented to the Prince Regent, by the Corporation of London, on the. auspicious Definitive Treaty of Peace ; to which his Royal Highness was pleased to return a most gracious answer. A Cardinal arrived in town on Saturday morning, charged with an important Mission from his Holi- ness the Pope to the Court of London. Lord Lyndoch arrived in town on Friday from Holland. The first act of the King of Prussia, after he reached the York Hotel, at, Dover, was to create Marshal Blucher a Prince, by the title of Prince de Wagstadt; General D'Yorck, Count de Warten- burg; General Bulow, Count de Dennewitz; and Baron Hardenberg, Prince de Hardenberg, City of London delivered, at Guildhall, with the Usual formalities, to Lords Beresford and Hill. the swords voted to those gallant officers, for their long and meritorious services, which he accompained with an appropriate speech. Lord Hereford made a short but handsome reply, declaring it to be the proudest day of his lite, when he receaved d this ho- nourable distinction from the citizens of this great metropolis, and professing his readiness to employ the sword thus be towed on him by their liberality, whenever he should receive his Sovereign's com- mands to resume his military duties for the defence and honour of his country. Lord Hil] spoke nearly to the Same effect. It is not easy to express the enthusiasm which the appearance of those veterans produced. They were greeted on all sides with the loudest cheering. A camp is forming on Titchfield Common, where, it is expected, the Russian Guards will be encamped. The troops at Weymouth and neigh- bourhood, at Winchester and in Sussex, are or dered to move toward Portsmouth garrison. These arrangements are preparatory to the arrival of the Allied Sovereigns, and other distinguished persons. Extract of a letter from Malta, dated 15th of April, 1814.—" I am sorry to have at present to inform you, that the precautions taken, and rigo- rous measures adopted by this Government, to pre- vent the spreading of the plague, beyond Casal Caccia, in Gozo, have not been attended with suc- cess. A priest died a tew days ago at Rabato, the chief town in that island, under suspicious circum- stances, and my last letter from Gozo mentions the deaths of the rest of the family . of tire plague. All the boats off that island have long since been hauled on shore, and the only communication be- tween this island and Gozo is carried on by govern- ment boats, with guards, who land the supplies of corn, & c. on a mole, which projects into the sea, and return empty." , Official intelligence has been received at Gib- raltar, of the date of the 4th Bird 16th of April, from General Maitland, addressed to ( he Governor of that fortress. According to these accounts about- thirty persons more had died in the island of Gozn. but on the whole it was considered that the plague vas gradually subsiding; it however still raged it smyrna and Constantinople ; it had bo ken oat with great violence in Alexandria, and had ap- peared in all the Greek islands and. in the Merea. Drury- Lane Theatre was on Tuesday night honoured with the appearance of Geneial Platoff. He arrived about ten o'clock with his Aide- de- Camp, and took his seat in the Regent s box. The people testified their gratification in their usual manner, by loud shouts and huzzas; the performers instantly came forward, aud sang " God save the King." The entertainments of the evening then proceeded, except now and then there was a trifling interruption from the persons in the pit, male and female, who pressed forward to shake hands with the Hetman, who most cordially complied with their wishes. He is a fine athletic figure, with a martial countenance : he was richly dressed iu blue uniform, with several stars. He seemed highly pleased while he stayed, but left the house about 11 o'clock, when he repaired to Covent Garden Theatre, where he experienced the same hearty welcome as at the other house. Lord Cochrane appeared in the Court of King's Bench on Tuesday, and addressed their Lordships on the subject of granting a new trial. He de- clared he came before them for the sake of the justice of the country, and he felt convinced, that, on a revision of his case, his innocence must be fully established. He added, that he had been in- formed that he could not, consistently with the established rules of the Court, apply to their Lord- ships for a new tr ial of his case, unless all the de- fendants charged in the indictment w ith the con- spiracy, and found guilty, were present in Coart. To which Lord Ellenborough replied, that such was the practice of the Court, whether his Lord- ship applied in person or by his Counsel, and it was a practice from which the Court had not the power to depart. Lord Cochrane acquiescing in this determination, bowed and retired, apparently very much affected. The expences of the Stock Exchange, for the prosecution of Lord Cochrane and others, amount* to 3,0001. The balance in the hands of the Com- mittee is about 10,0001. and it is intended to apply the whole to charitable purposes. The price of gold bullion is reduced to 51. The guinea, which was lately at 28s. is reduced to 24s. All the foreign exchanges are rising. ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.— A young woman, gen- teely attired in a riding habit, on Friday sprang from the ballnstrades of Blackfriars Bridge into the l iver. Her clothes kept her afloat till some boats put off to her assistance, and brought her ashore ; when she was taken to the house of her friends, but obstinately persisted in declining to assign any cause for her infatuated conduct. DREADFUL FIRE.— Thursday morning, the ma- nufactory of Messrs. Bowringand Co. at Hampton, caught fire, when property to the amount of 40001. was consumed, exclusive of the dwelling- house aud stables, which were also totally destroyed, together . with four cows; aud to add to the catastrophe, Mr. and Mrs. Bowring lost their lives in attempting to escape : part of their remains were dug from the ruins the next day. - THE COLCHESTER GAZETTE. f r t- $ t t All ranks and descriptions of persons vie with each other to testify iheir respectful homage to the illustrious Strangers Who now honour the me- tropolis by their presence; While the great devote their attention to tobfrk with becoming splendour this honour to our country, the people withhold not their share in the Celebration, but dn every occasioti greet the Royal Visitors With the acckttimations of national approbation; 1 he city of London has presented Addresses both to the Emperor and the King, to Which they most gra- ciously replied. The handsome and just eulogiutii p& vi by the King of Prussia, in his answer, to our inviufcible Leader and his gallant troops, by whose glorious exploits in Spain I he hopes of Europe's deliverance originated, will remain among the archives of the city, as a proud tecord of England's firmness, perseverance, and military greatness— This day the Royal Friends are to dine with the Lord Mayor. The magnificence of their reception will confirm their opinion, that the British metro- polis is of all first cities, the fiist city in the world. We present in our columns the new Constitution, as accepted by the French King. It varies iu some points trotn that at first suggested. The King, by the accepted code, declares war and con- cludes treaties, without the ratification of the House of Peers or the House of Deputies. In the Constitution fi; st recommended, this power was only granted to the King in the present instance, and in consideration, as was expressed, of the peace being concluded by the contracting Kings in person. T'le Constitution varies from the British on the subject of the origin of laws, although this appears a difference more in form than substance. The King proposes the laws; hence the House of Peers and House ofDeputies have but the power of nega- tion. This, although equal in fact to the authority of ow Houses of Legislation, would be injurious, inasmuch as it would prevent the suggestion of many admirable laws, by the discusson of which prejudice and objection are frequently removed, and a negative prevented. But we find, that, al- though the King proposes all laws, the two Houses possess the power of requesting the King to propose whatever object they may think proper, and to suggest wh itever may appear to them fitting that the ' aw should contain : either House may make this demand, but not till it has been discussed ; then, if the other House approve, it shall be sub- mitted to the King ; so that the power which our King possesses of forbidding a law after it has passed both Houses of Parliament, the French King possesses at its introduction. We find the discussion is to take place, on laws to be proposed to the King, in Secret Committee. We suppose the publicity of such debates will, where the press is free, be as general as the proceedings of our Par- liament, without which the great influence of the public voice will be lost, and Ministers will forget that they are answ- rable for their councils. This code of France is clearly of English struc- ture. How truly gratifying for us, who have made 60 noble a stand to uphold the Laws, and to preserve entire the Monarchy, to see those, against whom we have fought, seek happiness and liberty by imitating our Constitution. A Message from the Prince Regent was read by the Speaker on Monday in the House of Commons, acquainting the House that his Imperial Majesty had requested that some Russian troops might be landed at Portsmouth, to be reimbarked as soon as possible iu the Russian fleet. While we are allud- ing to the happy Government under which we live, let us revere the wisdom of our ancestors, from whose vigilance these precautionary laws derived their birth. A Mail from Lisbon has arrived with intefligehce from Cadiz, to the 25th ult. ' I he attachment of the people of Cadiz to the Cortes has been long ascertained, and it now appears that an attempt was made to oppose sonle of the consequences of I lie couiilfcr revolution. Measures having been taken immediately alter the instalment Of Lieut;- General Villavicencio, as Governor for Ferdinand,' to throw down all the monuments of thfc late sys- tem, ttie military were, employed on the occasion. Their first endeavours, however, were fruitless, they were tired upon, and repulsed by the populace; but iu the sequel their purpose was accomplished, and precautious were taken to preserve order and tran- quillity. By a Decree published at Copenhagen on the 31st ult. all communication with Norway i-- prohi- bited Under pain of death. The Crown Prince of Sweden had arrived in Schonen. An article, dated Hamburgh, June 5, says—" On Monday the 7th the Bank will lie opened again, with a capital of six millions ol marcs banco ( near half a million sterling;) All fine silver that is given in will be melted down. All business has been hitherto done in Louis d'ors. Senators Wedow and Scholliringk are appointed City Pretors, and Senators Bartels and Brenmenan Pretors f, » r the country. The Russian garrison is not above 4,0 0 strong, but we have a great number of officers.— This day public thanksgivings were offered here for the deliverance » f the city. On the 4th, the birth- day of his Majesty the King of England was celebrated with the greatest rejoicings at lade. M. Mitchel, the English Consul- General, in Norway, who is now here, gave a splendid en- tertainment oil his Majesty's birth- day, at his country house, at which the English Captains Mar- shall and Banks, General Bennigsen, and all the Officers of distinction in the neighbourhood, were present. The Prince Regent and our illustrious Visitors arrived in town on Thursday. In the evening they honoured Lord Castlereagh with their company to dinner, at his house in St. James's- square. Yester- day they dined at Merchant Taylors' Hall. On Monday the Royal Party will honour White's Fete with their presence. They then proceed to Ports- mouth, to the grand Naval Review, to take place on Wednesday. The Emperor of Russia and King of Prussia honoured Drury- lanc Theatre with their presence on Thursday night. The h use was crowded t « excess. The King s box was' fitted up in a style suited to the occasion : it was lined with crimson satin, and the from decorated with crimson velvet and gold lace. Ai hall past ten o'clock the illus- trious Visitants arrived, anil were received by Mr. Arnold, the Manager, and Mr. Raymond, the Stage- Manager, in the same form us when our own Sove- reign visits the Theatre. The curtain being d. uwn up, about two hundred of the performers appeared and sang " God save the King." The Emperor joined most cordially in the chorus : his Imperial Majesty and the King of Prussia clapped heartily at the conclusion. The house resounded with plaudits both at the entrance and departure of th Sovereigns. The Treaty with Bonaparte, entered into in con- sequence of his abdication, has been published It was signed oil the 11th April, by the Minister of the Allied Powers, with the exception ftf those of this country, which upon no occasion has ac knowledged llie sovereignty of the Usuper. The Articles are in detail in accordance with those which have at different times been briefly stated. He permitted to retain the title ol Emperor of the French, and the enormous annual allowance of pension in francs amounting to two hundred thou- sand pounds sterling English money, is guaiauteed to himself and his family, in different proportions, according to the assumed rank they held under the recent state of anarchy and oppressiori to which, from the ambitious and tyrannical system ot their unprincipled supporter, the greater part of Europe was subjected. The coronation of the King of France is to take place on the 26th of August, it being St. Louis's day. Count Damas, who was tutor to the French Princes, and many years the faithful adherent of the House of Bourbon, died at Paris, on Saturday se'nnight, in the 79th year of his age. POSTSCRIPT. Paris papers received on Thursday morning to Tuesday last, contain a long detail of the return of the Pope to Rome. The capital of the Catholic world has had its grand day of festivity and re- joicing, as well as Paris and London. His Holiness entered Rome on the 24th ult. amid the acclama- tions of the people. The whole of the proceedings pre described as uncommonly magnificent and interesting. We are assured that " the triumphs of ancient Rome were but insignificant when coin pared with this triumph of gratitude and of love, and that the enthusiastic joy expressed by the Grecians to the Consul Flaminius, when he pro- claimed the liberty of Greece at the Olymphic Games, must yield the pre- eminence in the page of history to the enthusiasm displayed by the mo dern Romans ou this memorable occasion."— This is certainly saying as much as could be well said of his Holiness's reception. • The British cavalry has commenced its march from Toulouse to Calais, where it is to embark lor England. A brigade of 6000 strong arrived on the 2d inst. at Montaubam. La Fete Dieu, which had been discontinued for twenty- five years, was revived at Paris on Sunday, and celebrated with all the ancient splendour and religious ceremonies. The Paris papers, which now arrive almost daily in course, can no longer be expected to supply any political intelligence of peculiar importance, One of the series which has reached us to the 12th inst. states the return to Paris of General Bert rand who accompanied Bonaparte to the Isle of Elba, and that at his departure the Emperor had entirely lost his reason, and the physicians despaired of his recovery. Incessant anxiety, the loss of dominion and pre- eminence, and self- reproach, preying upon a mind vain, fiery, and impatient, might be ua turally expected to produce this effect, even on one whose bosom, free from a guilty conscience, af- forded some source of consolation. Several ar rivals hail also tken place at Marseilles from Porto Ferrajo, in the island of Elba. The French garrison which occupied that island h? Is returned to France under the commaid of General Duval. In the House of Lords, on Thursday, the Ap- prentice Bill and Cape Wine Bill were read a first lime.—- In the Commons, the Loan Bill, and the Army Prize Money Bill, were read a second time. The Highway Bill was read a third time. COLCHESTER, SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1814. On Tuesday last the Colchester National Schools celebrated their second Anniversary. The chil- dren, consisting of upwards of 300 boys and girls, walked in procession from the School House to St. l'eter's Church, preceded by the Rev. the Arch- deacon of Colchester, the very Rev. Dr. Words worth. Dean and Rector of Bockiug, and the Clergy of the town and neighbourhood, together with a numerous assemblage of Ladies and Gen- tlemen, the friends and supporters of the institu- tion. The sermon was preached by the Dean of Bocking, who took a comprehensive view of the progress of religious instruction, and the practical benefits which have resulted from it, from the days of the Apostles, through the daik ages of Chris- tianity, down to the present period; and hence deduced and inculcated, in a most able, perspicuous, and impressive manner, the duty of supporting this and similar establishments.— In the course of di- vine service, several psalms, suitable to the occa- sion, were sung by the children, accompanied by the organ. Afterwards the children returned in the same order of procession, and preceded by the bund of the 3d Essex Local Milita, to the Castle Bailey, where they partook of a plentiful dinner of beef, mutton, and plum puddings ; and the grati- fying scene concluded with the national air of God save the King, sung by the children, accompanied by the band. Mrs. Round's garden, being opened by permission, afforded an elegant promenade to the company present. The collections in the church the garden, and the Bailey, amounted to upwards of 701. exclusive of the expences of the diune which were defrayed by previous contributions of the inhabitants of the town. The return of Peace was celebrated on Thurs- day night by a more brilliant and general illumine tiou than has, on any former occasion, been ob- served in this town. The streets during the day were decorated with green boughs, and on the fronts of several houses were wreath's of foliage, in various instances intermingled with flowers, which hud a very Pleasing effect. Many transparencies and devices were exfiiflitcd, among which the fol- lowing claimed the principal attention. Messrs. Miller, Searle, and Falconer.— A profusion of variegated lamps, skilfnlly arranged. wore diffiwApver the whole front of the house, and, formed into columns. wreaths; and brilliant stars, of various hues, produced ; i highly splendid appearance. On the summit, in a semi circle, wan the word ** Wellington," the centre enri hed with the Prince Regent's plume", anil underneath " Peace " Ou the lower part of the frontispiece G. R. intertwined by wreaths of resplendent lustre. An exceeding y large and well- executed transparency occupied the principal com- partment. It represented the magnanimous hero Welling- ton mounted on a fiery charger trampling under foot the French Eagles, on which Wi fe inscrlbi- d^— Oppression- Murder— Tyranny.—' Bellona, bearingth British standard, and seated in a cloud- filmed car, hailed him as her fa- vourite.

Various elegant devices were displayed in vririe- gated lamps, wi h appro riate ne- ttoos, which i may be unnecessary to particularize, and indeed a detailed description would enc - oach too nn. li oa our limits.— The Third Local Band paraded, the High- street, and played a variety of martial pieces. A liberal sum was raised by subscription, w hich was employed in the purchase of meat and bread, proportions of which were gratuitously distributed to the poor, according to the number ot each family. Mr. Jervis, in the Court of King's Bench, yes- terday se nnight, moved for a rule to show cause why an information in the nature of a quo warranto, should not be exhibited against Thomas Hedge, to state by what authority he held the office of Mayor of this borough. The Learned Counsel observed, that according to the constitution of the borough, the election of Mayor must take place before the Mayor for the time being, the Aldermen, See. There were eleven Aldermen, by the majority of whom the Chief Magistrate should have been elected, but the election in question was made before the Mayor and four Aldermen only.— Rule granted. On Thursday the Piedmontese Legion marched from the barracks of this town to Harwich, for the purpose of embarking ou board transports in pre- paration at that port for conveying them to the island of Sardinia. The East Norfolk regiment of Militia marched through this town on Wednesday and Thursday, towards Yarmouth, in order to their being disem- bodied. The principal inhabitants of Chelmsford had a public dinner at the Shire- Hall on Tuesday, in celebration of the establishment of peace. About 150 sat down to table. A variety of loyal and patriotic toasts and sentiments were drank, and the day was spent with the most perfect satisfaction to every individual present. Preparations had been made, on a scale hitherto unequalled, for illuminating the town of Chelms- ford on Wednesday evening. Many transparencies and ingenious devises were in readiness for the oc- casion, but owing to the extremely boisterous and rainy state of the weather, it became impossible to exhibit them with efleet. On the rain subsiding, however, the town assumed an appearance of bril- liancy, and the streets were paraded by a great number of persons to a late hour. An excellent band of music tended greatly to enliven the sceuce. Yesterday evening the public rejoicings were con- cluded by a ball and supper at the Shire- Hall, which, as all persons of respectability were indis- criminately admitted, was numerously attended The inhabitants of Bures, iu Suffolk, have testi- fied their gratification on the temporary rejection of the Corn Importation Bill by a majority of the House of Commons, in rather a whimsical manner. The poor old women of the town were regaled with lea at tables placed in the street, a subscription having been entered into for that purpose. There were, however, two parties on this occasion ; to one of which three shillings each were given; to the other libations of ale, till wrinkles and age were forgotten, and the days of youth, in idea, had re- turned. A short time since, as some workmen were re- moving part of the ruins of the Cluniac Priory, at Thetford, they discovered two stone coffins near the north entrance. There was ah entire skeleton in each of them, and the coffins were quite perfect, when found, but in the hurry to remove them, in expectation of finding treasure,- the workmen broke oue of them nearly to pieces.

On Saturday last, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Recorder, Sheriffs, Common Council, and Officers of the City of London, waited upon his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Russia, at the Duke ot Cumberland's apartments, at St. James's, with the following Address, which was read by John Sil- vester, Esq. tne Recorder :— To his imperial Majesty Alexander, the Emperor of all the Russias. The Address of Congratulation of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons, in Common Council assembled. May it please your Imperial Majesty, We, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons, of the City of London, in Common Council assembled, beg lesve to oiler our most sincere compliments of congratulation to your Majesty, on the very distin- guished occasion of your auspicious arrival in these happy realms, ihe august, illustrious, and magnani- mous Any of our revered and gracious Sovereign. We have viewed, with the profoundest gratitude to the Almighty Giver of all victory, the rapid, stupend- ous, and sublime succession of events, which have led to the deliverance of the afHicted nations of Europe from the most galling' oppression and unprecedented tyranny that ever visited the human race. By the haimouious and cordial co- operation of the Allied Sovereigns in a cause of such lasting import- ance to the world as the restoration of whole nations to their independence and legitimate dynasties,— by the consummate skill, prudence, intrepidity, wisdom, and moderation of commanders, uuequat led in any former age, fearicss in llieir duty, and faithfui to their charge,— by the awakened energies of almost desolated countries, roused from their destructive similars,— by the removal of gross delusion from their eyes,— by the determined regard to discipline, and successful vaiour of armies, led ou lo the most brilliant exploits by tneir Princes in peison, the speh is at length broken Wiikh had neany subjugated the human mind itself, and the plague is stayed which had drained the earth ai. sxveyt away wlioie generations. in i lie iccomp. ibliniei. t of these happy and beneficial resu. ts to the world, we have contemplated, in the' august person of your Imperial Majesty, a Monarch foi. owtu t. y a brave and loyal people in arms to the redress of injuries, the most wanton, unprovoked, ant! barturous, that battled ambition could conceive, or profligate crue. ty perpetrate; a hero by inflexible perseverance in his object, traversing whole regions, ami pursuing lo the capital of France a discomfited tyranl, not for purposes of retribution, not iu vindic- tive fury to raze or to destroy, not to subdue, but to denver a misguided people, lo unbind tlie. r chains, to bring peace to their hearts, and prosperity to their homes— i hero, to the astonishment, and amidst the acciaillations, of the vanquished, holding out in hi* victorious hand graces, favours, and immunities, and evincing in tne proudest hour of triumph, the confi- de .. <•, magnanimity, and clemency of a Christian conqueror. Permit us, Sire, to express the very high sense we cult i lam 01 the distinguishing honour conferred upon Great Britain. by the visit of an Emperor not deriving more splendour fiom his exalted rank, than the pre- eminent virtues of his heart, comprising all that is dignified, ail that is nnld, all Ihat is great, good, and coiiaoi ' lory, confer on that lofty function. 1 ay youi va. uabie life be lung spared, and may the benefits your Imperial Majesty lias bestowed upon the woriu be repaid by what musl be the greatest blessing to a Sovereign heart, the loyalty, affection, and pro- sperity 01 your admiring and grateful people, by the appiauses of surrounding nations, and, greater than a. i, by the silent and conscious testimony of your own approving breast. ' I o which Address his Imperial Majesty was gra- ciously pleased to return the tullowing Answer:— 1 thank you for this kind and fiatlernig address. 1 have long desired to visit this country, and I find myself amongst you with the more satisfaction, at a moment when, after a war full of glory, a peace has been given to Europe, which, 1 trust, will long prove a blessing lo mankind. You may assuie your fellow- citizens, that the British nation has always possessed my respect; their conduit through the late long and arduous contest commands my admiration, as it has done that of the w hole world. 1 have been the faithful ally of Great Britain in war; 1 desire to continue her firm friend in peace. On the same day the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, & c. waited upon his Majesty the king of Prussia, at the apartments of the Duke of Clarence, at St. James's, with the following Address, which was read by Sir John Silvester, Esq. the Recorder. To his Majesty the King of Prussia. The Address of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of London, in Common Council assembled. May it please your Majesty, We, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of Loudon, iu Common Council assembled, beg leave to tender our most cordial compliments of congratulation to your Majesty, on the happy occasion of your safe arrival in the dominions of our revered and gracious King, and that events under the guid- ance of mi overruling Providence have enabled the inhabitants of Britain to rejoice in the honour of the august visit of his Majesty's brave, faithful, and mag- nanimous Ally the Sovereign of Prussia. 1 he signal overthrow of a gigantic tyranny under win. h the nations of suffering Europe had for years been oppiessed and enslaved, has presented the con- so itary piospect, that this astonishing crisis will, with their restoration to peace and the legitimate dynasties, likewise restore that internal tranquility amongst theuisetves, and that harmony of intercourse with the rest of the vvur. il, as will insure substantial blessings to ever, country, and that the sword being now sheathed, the torch of discord may be for ever ex- tinguished. V\ v cannot but express to your Majesty the high sense we entertain of the preeminent services reu tiered by the arms of Prussia iu bringing about those mighty benefits, which, in their results, we confidently hope, will lead to the lasting repose of the world; and we feel that the consummate skill, intrepidity, and prudence of your Majesty and the illustrious Com- manders of your armies, under the most pressing diffi- culties and toils of warfare, have maintained, with equal, if not superior success, those lofty claims to the admiration of mankind, with which, iu times past, your Royal Predecessors graced the archives of mili- tary glory. The forbearance and mercy of the Allied Monarchs, under circumstances the most trying, and injuries the most gabiiig, evinced in the proudest hour of triumph, will weave an eternal wreath of fame for their victo- rious brows, more brilliant than their Crowns, and more lastkte jUwh their Thrones; and the names of the delivcrfiv will, to'tbe latest posterity, outshine on record all that we justly admire and revere in those heroes and conctkrOfsi May every happiness attend your Majesty, and your people gratefully appreciate the virtues which their Sovereign has sti eminently and so beneficially dis- played ; and may the heart that has, with so much bravery and so much clemency, exercised them, feel Ihe reward of its own applause anil approbation. To which Address, his Majesty was pleased to return the following most gracious Answer:— My Lord and Gentlemen, 1 thank you, for the obliging Address, which you have presented me with, on the occasion of my arrival iu this happy country. It affords me peculiar satisfaction, to receive the cordial compliments and congratulations of so distin- guished anil eminent a body, as the Lord Mayor, Al- dermen, and Common Council of one of the first cities iu the world. 1 rejoice with you that the glorious efforts of the Allied Sovereigns in the cause of Europe have ulti- mately accomplished the overthrow of a gigantic tyranny, under which the nations of suffering Europe have been oppressed. While I contemplate the magnanimous efforts which my great Allies have each individually made in our protracted struggle, the perseverance, exertion, and great sacrifices of the people of this realm stand pre- eminently forward. I am sensible of the aid my subjects and my armies have received in their great efforts, by the wise policy of my good Brother and Ally the Prince Regent, and by the great example he has t to the world by his perseverance, iu which he Ins been so well seconded by the spirit and constancy of Ihe nation, anil the wisdom of his Ministers. While you congratulate me ou the conduct of my army, I must assure you 1 have looked with equal ad- miration to those brave legions which, landing early in the Peninsula, under their great leader, arrived in the heart of France, covered with their glorious ex- ploits, to witness our common triumph, and closing the most just and necessary War, by an equitable, and, 1 trust, a lasting Peace. 1 cannot take my leave of you without expressing my anxious desire that the cordial union which is so hap- pily established between Great Britain and Prussia, inav continue for ages to come, and Ihat the perfect understanding which subsists between my good Bro- ther and Ally, the Prince Regent, and myself, may re main ever unimpaired. LAW REPORT. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 8. THE FRAUD ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE. THE KING, DE BERENGER AND OTHERS. This was an indictment, against Charles Random de Berenger, Lord Cochrane, Mr. Cochrane John- stone, Messrs. Butt, Sandon, M'Cree, Holloway, and Light, for a conspiracy. The conspiracy charged was with an intent to raise the price of the funds, bv raising a false rumour that Bonaparte was slain in battle; that the Allies were in possession of Paris, anil that a Peace was concluded between this country and France. From the great length of this trill, and the nume- rous witnesses examined, it is impossible to go into minute detail of the evidence seriatim as it was given, but an intelligible outline of the facts may be correctly stated in a moderate compass. — Mr. Gurney led the case, and in a very able speei h detailed the circum- stances of this conspiracy. The brief statement of the facts is as follows:— About half past one on the morning of the 21st of February, John Marsh, Master of the Pacquet Boat Public- house, at Dover, heard knocking at the door of the Ship Inn, at Dover. He went out, and saw a gentleman iu a military uniform, decked with a star and cross, knocking at the door of the Inn. lie brought two candles from his own house, by which time the stranger had gained admit- tance to the Ship. He here stated, that he had jus been landed from a French boat from Calais; ihat there had been a general engagement between the Allies and Bonaparte; that the latter had been inter- cepted by a party of the Cossacks, and had been killed; and that the Allies had entered Paris, and peace was concluded between thenh and the French He. desired to have a post- chaise and four immediately, and called for paper and pen to write a letter to tlie Port Admiral at Deal This was brought to him, and an express was immediately sent with his letter to Admiral Foley, at Deal. The post- chaise was pro- cured, and he set off for London. He'was identified by four persons, as the Baron de Berenger, who was present in Court, and his person was also recognised by all the drivers ou the road, whom fie paid in Napoleons all the way. The several post- chaise drivers and innkeepers who saw him on the road were called, and they all recognised his person. He got out of the chaise at the Marsh gate, Westminster, anil there got into a hackney- coach; the driver of which was called, who proved that he drove him direct to Lord Cochrane's house, No. 13, Green- street, Gros- venor- square. Here the evidence respecting De Berenger's journey terminated. But all along the red he amused the innkeepers with the same story Admiral Foley produced the letter he had received by the express from Dover, which was in substance as follows:—" That the moment of writing, he was landed from L'Aigle French boat, Capt. Duchesne that he brought the important intelligence of a general action between the Allies and Bonaparte, in whic Ihe latter was killed by the Cossacks, and that the Allies had entered Paris, where the white cockade had been generally adopted. ( Signed) Du Bourg Aid- de- Camp to Lord Cathcart."— This letter Admiral Foley said lie did not transmit by telegraph, because the weather was hazy, and he added, he did not be- lieve it to be a genuine statement of facts, and lie should liavcso said by his telegraphic dispatch to the Admiralty. The news of this Officer's arrival having got to the Stock Exchange, it produced an increase in the price of stocks, so that Omnium rose from 27 § to 30; but no intelligence being received from Government, it began to flatten, when more news, of another chaise decorated with Inure!, and with foreign Officers wear- ing the white cockade, suddenly arrived at the Stock Exchange. The funds immediately rose again: and the next head of evidence applied to this second chaise The evidence as to this was to show that on Ihe same 21st day of February, Sandon, who was a wine- iner chant at Northfleet, near Gravesend, and M'Cree and Light, were Ihe parties who came up in that chaise The evidence as to I his fact of the case was as follows — A Mr. Finn stated, that on the 15tli of February, M'Cree, who lived in Fetter- lane, desired him to meet him at the Carolina Coffee- house; and when he went Ihere, M'Cree said, as he had known him a long time and he being versed iu the foreign languages, he had plan by which he might make his fortune. After some further conversation, he said it was to bite the biters, and deceive the Stock Exchange. He then pened his plan, which was, that Finn should go to Dover, and come from thence in a post- chaise and four, personating a foreign Officer, and should bring such news as should raise the price of the funds. The witness rejected this with great indignation, saving; he would as soon be concerned in a highway robbery: It was however proved by Sarah Alexander, with whom Mr. M'Cree lodged in Fetter- lane, that M'Cree; on Saturday the 19th of February, took two blue great coats, braided, and lined with white, like officers' oats, and two cocked bats: 1 lis wife also made white cockades. He then told his landlady that these dresses were meant to take in the fiats, and having dressed himself in one, he asked her if he looked like an officer. He also added, that he must be at Graves- end by two o'clock on the Sunday. Foxall, an innkeeper at Dartford, proved that Sandon sent for a chaise to Northfleet, as he had often done before; and he came with two gentlemen, who were dressed as foreign officers: Sandon desired a chaise and four, which was got ready, and carried them from Dartford: They went over London Bridge, through the City, over Blackfriar's Bridge to the Marsh gate, where they got out and walked away. These facts were proved by the chaise drivers; and it was also proved that M'Cree was in great dis- tress before this expedition, but afterw ards he ap- peared to have plenty of money, and lie told his land- lady he had recived 501. for his trip. Mr. F. Bailey, one of the Stock Exchange Committee, said, that Holloway and Light came to the Committee of the Stock Exchange, and confessed that he had planned the latter deception, but denied that they had any connection with De Berenger or Lord Cochrane; nor was there any evidence to connect these parties, ex- cept the coincidence of the circumstances. The next head of evidence related to the accounts of the stock transactions of Lord Cochrane, Mr. Cohrane John- stone, and Mr. Butt, by which it appeared that they held near 1,000,0001. stock, which was sold at a pre- mium soon after the news arrived at the Stock Ex- change. It was also proved, that Mr. De Berenger left his house on the Sunday, the 27th, the following Sunday, nd at length was apprehended at Sunderland. Upon him was found near 500 . iu Bank- notes, alio'' which were traced to the different possession of Lord Coch- rane, Mr. Cochrane Johnstone, and Mr. Butt, in pay- ment for drafts of theirs, but a few days before he ab- sconded. It was « so proved that Mr. Cochrane Johnstone left a letter for iiim at his lodgings the night before he absconded. Mr. Odell, a fisherman, proved, that in the begin- ning of April, he fished up from the Thames an uni- form coat, richly embroidered, and a star— it was sunk, ill a calico cover, with a lead weight. The clothe being produced, were stated, by S. K. Solomon, to have been sold by him on Saturday the 20th of Fe bruary, to a person resembling Mr. De Berenger, who siid he wanted them for a person who was about to perform an officer's part in the country. These were the substance of the facts on the part of the prosecu- tion. Lord Ellenborough called upon the Counsel for the Defendants. Mr. Serjeant Best, as Counsel for Lord Cochrane, Mr. Cochrane Johnstone, and Mr. Butt, was first heard. Mr. Serjeant Pell appeared for Sandon, Light, and Holloway; and Mr. Parke for De Berenger. Mr. Serjeant Best addressed the Court to a late hour, in which lie commented oil the high character of Lord Cochrane, and the improbability of his mix- ing in so base a transaction. He also dwelt at consi derable length on Lord Cochrane's affidavit, and in sisted on that being evidence more than sufficient to counterbalance the suspicion that he was connected with De Berenger. He urged all these topics at con- siderable length.— The Court then adjourned. THURSDAY. The trial of this interesting question having re- com menced, before Lord Ellenborough and the same Special Jury. Mr. Brougham, in the first place, moved, that the letters between Lord Cochrane and Mr. Le Marchand should be read, which was accordingly done; but of the contents of them the public are already in pos session. Lord Viscount Melville was the first witness ex amined.— He stated that Sir Alexander Cochrane had made applications to the Admiralty, on the part of Mr. De Berenger, for leave to accompany him ( Sir A Cochrane) to his command ou the American station This application was about six months ago. Colonel Torrens recollected an application having been made to him, in the latter end of December, or beginning of January last, iu favour of Mr. De Be renger, by Sir A. Cochrane. Mr. Brougham stated his intention in troubling the Court with this evidence to be, the tracing the cause of the communication between Lord Cochrane and Mr. De Berenger, to a different source from that to which it had been traced by the Counsel on the other side, and to show that the cause of the communication which subsisted between them, and which had been so much relied on by the Counsel on the other side, was not the true one, but that it was to be traced to very difterent and much more honourable source. Mr. Golbourne stated, that an application had been made to him by Sir A. Cochrane, with a view of ob- taining for Mr. De Berenger a situation iu the Colo Ilia] Department. Mr. King, lamp- maker, Snow- hill, stated, that last summer he was employed by Lord Cochrane, to make for him a new patent lamp, which he called a si| lamp. Lord Cochrane, while the witness was so em ployed, was accustomed to come almost every day to the witness's manufactory, in Cock- lane, Snow hill He recollected, that on the 21st of February last, be tween the hours of ten and eleven o'clock in the morn ing, Lord Cochrane called at the witness's mamifac tory, and that while he was there, a note was brought to him by a servant; on which he retired for a few mi nutes, then came into the workshop again, and short! after went away. When he read the note he made no observation, but said, " Very well, Thomas." Mr. Bowerby proved, that Major Cochrane, bro ther to Lord Cochrane, was with the hussars, to which he belongs, in the south of France, along with the army under Lord Wellington, iu the beginning of the year. Thomas Duman, who had been 15 years in the service of Lord Cochrane's family, remembered a gentleman, whom the witness had never seen before or since, coming to Lord Cochrane's house, in Green- street, on the 21st of February last, in a hackney- coach. He asked, on being informed that Lord Coch- rane was gone out, where he was gone? When the witness told him he had gone to breakfast at Cumber- land- street. At the request of the gentleman, the witness followed him thither, but not finding him, came home again. He then went to Mr. King's, the lamp- manufacturer, whither Lord Cochrane had de- sired him, after breakfast, to carry a glass giol e,- and found Lord Cochrane there, tie delivered to him the letter from the stranger, on reading which. Lord Cochrane said lie must return. Mr, Tahourden, Solicitor for the Defendant, ( Mr. De Berenger) said lie had known Mr. Berenger for five or six years; lie was also well acquainted with Mr: Cochrane Johnstone In May; i813, Mr. Coch- rane Johnstone, having a place near Paddington which he Wished to lay out to the Utmost advantage as a Ranelagh or place of public resort, employed Mr. De Berenger to assist in the plan. The witness introduced Mr. De Berenger to Mr. Cochrane John- stone; he was to assist him as an artist, iu laying out a public building or place, which Was to be called Vittoria:' The witness said, besides the plan, Mr. De Berenger had prepared a prospectus of the objects which the scene would present, which had been printed; De Berenger had got one payment lo ac- count so long ago as September, 1813; aiid Mr: Coch- rane Johnstone had had the plans and prospectus with hi in in Scotland, about that lime. The witness knew also of another payment, the letter regarding which was sent to liiin, and passed through his hands. The witness said, he spoke several times to Mr. Cochrane Johnstone about paying him ( Mr. De Berenger) for the plans. No price was fixed, till February last. On the 22d ofthat mouth the witness received a letter from Mr. Cochrane Johnstone, in- closing one from De Berenger. These letters he now produced. Lord Ellenborough— Have they the post- marks? Witness.— No, they were delivered. The letters were then read. Lord Ellenborough.— How came your answer to Mr. Cochrane Johnstone's letter to be in your own hands?—- The witness explained that the letters had come into his hands in consequence of his being At- torney for the defence in this case. Lord Ellenborough.— Where are the covers of these letters ? They ought to be produced, in order to show- that they were written of the dates they bear. Such letters as these might equally well have been written afterwards. The answer by the witness to Mr. Cochrane John- stone's letter of the 22d of February, was then put iu and read, in which the witness promises to attend to the different matters recommended to his care. Evidence was then called to show that the hand- writing of the Dover letter was not De Berenger's.— Lord Yarmouth spoke, almost positively, and a Mr. Stokes, positively, that it was not De Berenger's hand- writing. Evidence was then adduced to prove an alibi with respect to De Berenger. William Smith, servant to Mr. De Berenger swore that his master was at home, and slept at home, during the night of the 20th of February. M'Guire, stable- keeper, at Chelsea, proved that he saw Mr. De Berenger in that neighbourhood, coming from the water side, on the evening of Sunday the 20th of February, about a quarter before six o'clock. Mr. Guney then replied. THE CHARGE. Lord Ellenborough began by describing the indict- ment, and the general character of a conspiracy, with the mode of proof by which its existence was to be established. But it was for the Jury to decide whether the charge of conspiracy was brought home to some, if not to all of the parties accused. That the false ws adverted to in the indictment, involved a con- spiracy against the public, there could not be the slightest doubt, and that some of the most innocent and interesting among that public were but too liable to suffer from such an enhancement of the funds as this news produced, could not lie disputed. Indeed the Jury had before them the evidence of the Ac- comptant- General of the Court of Chancery, as to his purchase of 15,0001. slock on the morning of the 21st of February, at an advuiced price, ( u vaeum. Hi by the artifice described in the prrrTt in:!: clmcnt. What descrption of persons were in the case of this purchase likely to sutler, and permanently to suffer, he t'eit Ihat he need not describe, nud many instances of similar suffering might have followed from such an imposture. With regard to the proceeding from Dover and North- fleet, it would be for the Jury to consider whether the agents in these transactions co- operated for the same object, and in that consideration they would look lo the evidence which described the time and manner of the transactions, and the military disguise assumed by the principal actors in both cases. With regard to a direct understanding between the plotters and actors in the transactions referred to, the Jury would perhaps think that a liukof connection was presented through M'Rae and Cochrane Johnstone ; and in viewing this point of the case, they would naturally reflect upon the proposition of M'Rae, to devote perhaps himself for a certain sum of money, of which sum Cochrane Johnstone offered to advance 10001. But were he gui. ty, that advance might cheaply purchase his pro- tection. Here the Nob. e Lord took a review of the evidence adduced to prove the identity of De Berenger, and confirmed the statement of the Counsel for the prosecution, that many were convicted on trials at the Old Bailey upon infinitely less evidence of identity. The Jury must have observed the promptitude with which the several witnesses recognized De Berenger, without having him at all pointed out to them. For although the Counsel for the prosecution would have been warranted in directly pointing at De Berenger, and asking each witness whether he recollected him as the person who assumed the name of Du Bourg, on the day stated in the indictment, they forbore to do so, leaving it to every witness to find out De Berenger among the persons who sat round the table. Upon the manner in which it was attempted to rebut the evidence of identity by the establishment of an alibi, he should leave it to the Jury to decide. Here the Learned Lord took occasion to notice the manner in which it had been thought proper in this Court to' speak of the transaction described in the indictment. Arguments had been advanced tending to confound those who played fair with those who used loaded dice ; and an attempt was made to mitigate the cha- racter of the transaction adverted to in the indictment, by a certain softness of description. Thus an im- proper use w as made of the word hoax, to diminish the indignation that should be excited against fraud and falsehood— to palliate the turpitude of a base action. In recapitulating the evidence, the Learned Lord made some observations, particularly as to the main points of the case; and he pointedly marked the testimony which referred to De Berenger's dress on the 21st of February. That dress was such as ought, he conceived, to have immediately excited the suspi- cion of Lord Cochrane. For how could a man in such disguise be supposed to have an honest purpose? Such a masquerade should have excited Lord Coch- rane, from his duty to the public service, to inquire into, and if he could ascertain it, to expose promptly the errand of De Berenger.— The Learned Lord con- cluded with expressing his conviction, that the Jury would fully weigh all the circumstances of the case; and considering that, on the one hand, it was of great importance to public justice, while, on the other, it w is deeply interesting to the parlies concerned, they would pronounce a fair and equitable verdict. The Jury retired, and after about two hours deli- beration, returned a verdict of— Guilty, against all the accused. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. LANDLORD'S REFUSAL TO ALLOW PROPERTY TAX. THE ATTORNEY- GENERAL V. HINK3 THE YOUNGER. This was an information against the Defendant to recover the penalty of 501. in consequence of his having, as agent or rent- gatherer to his father, a black- smith at Bromley- Bow, refused to allow his tenant the landlords' property tax. The evidence of Wood, the tenant of two small houses in Stepney, proved, that on the l9th October, 1812, lie paid the Collector 21. 10s. for landlord's property tax, and that oil the 23d of that month he ottered the Collector's receipt, with the residue of the lent in bank- notes, to the Defend- ant, and which he refused to accept, insisting ou Ihe full rent, and objecting to a low any part of the pro- perty tax ; that the like oiler was made ou the follow- ing day, when the refusal was again repeated; and that the father, Hinks the elder, insisting on the full rent, sent in a distress for, and levied it, with two guineas expences, on a Mr. Stokes, the succeeding oc- cupier of the houses. The Defendant's Counsel en- deavoured, with some ingenuity, to impeach the re- cord by technical objections, which were over- ruled by the Lord Chief Baron, and the Defendant having also without effect attempted to shake the testimony of the witnesses for the prosecution, the Jury found a verdict for the Crown. Penalty 501. His Lordship commended the conduct of the Of- ficers of the Crown, in bringing such prosecutions be- fore the public, in order that they might not fail by the example to protect the individual against fraud," and to secure the payment of the taxes by thosse on whom the Legislature meant them to fall.
