THE STATE OF VENICE UNDER…
THE STATE OF VENICE UNDER 'La FRENCH. '1 -I The most Illustrious persona in Venice were reduced to the extreme of indigcncei bel smalt WRS the number of those who escaped the :'generíoil ruiH, It was computed in 1804, no less than nthousaud of the heads of noble famiiies were begging in the afreets. At every corner, on every bridge, might be seen some, lair Venetian-taily covered with a veil, and on knees imploring the aid of charity; whilst her male relations were occupied in pursuits f,tr less honourable, m order to procure sub- sistence. The distresses of the nobles and of the wealthy were not confined to tbemsel ves alonc; for, the VeneliaDs belllg- naiuraiiy osientali-: ous, thousands of menials, and of-the lower dasses of the people, were supported by their botiiity these therefore, were now abandoned to all the horrors of want < for, in the general disorder alld misery of the state, where was employment for them ? innumerable gay gon- doias were laid aside, and their skilful rowers being utterly unqualified for any other occu- pation, were in a slate of starvation. It is scarcely possible to depict the miserable situation of the nohles. Tlw Ahhe- a man of talents and of probity, with whom I was very intimate, one morning at break- fast related to me, with tears in his eyes, the following circumstance, which he said had happened ouly the uigbt before. The Abbe had passed that evening al the house of a ?9 friend; in the course of it they were attracted a id charmed by the sinjrng of a female in ihs street, immediate!} under the window. The pleasure of the good Abbe was, however, soon cowvr-rfed into melancholy; he thought he recognised She voice of a friend, t>i d !»a#- tcned to the street to ascertain ;he truth. The person was so muffled up that hecoulJ no £ idssco' er her, lie ran to her house, rnd hts I repeated knocks at the door were at length answered from will,in by her children, who informed him, that their mother had gone out willi their father and a friend to procure something for supper, and that having now no servaut, the" were lo-'k(-d it- nil their re- turn.

G AME LAWS, 18 Oft Wednesday Jat, at the county Court at Dev ises, by virtue of a second w rit, issued frlt" that purpose, a-Jury wasimpaiHielied before Mr. Tinney, who presided for the Sheriff, to asses* the damage* in an action of trespass brought y Isaac Sunkins against ffenry Hunt, for tro>kisc game upon i he Plaintiff's estate. Mr. Casberd-, Counsel for the PlaifrtiSF, opened the case; and the trespass was proved by Richard Mortimer, On the cross-examination, a. question bfin< propose-i to the witness, whether the PiaiiiitiF had sustained any damage whatever from; trespass complained of? Mr. Tinney inierleici to prevent that question from being put. Jje said, that he would not suffer the witness to spe;> k to any point already settled between the panics; that damage was already admitted ou the part of. the Delendaut, aud t¡'"t the (juestion must narrowed, so as aot to countervail that admis- sion. In the course of the cross-examination, the witness stated, that no damage was done by the Defendant to the Plaintiff's t'ciice, or to the grara Oil his lands, or to ins property, in any shape whatever. Mr. Hunt addressed the Jury at great length but was seveiat times restrained, for what was considered asirrelevaflt so the matter in and a breach of that (!ecorum which oua:ht lo be invariably observed in a Court, of Justice. Mr. Tinney, in stating the effect of the evidence to the Jury, observed, that it was their function to assess what damage the Plaiut iff ought to have for the trespass complained of, it being adjudged hy the Court of K-hi^s lieitch, that some natures ne was entitled to recover, and that they were suoin io make an assessment, accordingly, observed, tiia* even if the Plaintiff had conic to iheinfo determine his righl. to a compensation for the aggression conipiained of, instead of coining to them merely to asceriji-in the amount of ittzh cowliensatiori, he would be entitled to their verdict; for it, was necessarily theJtjiY of this country,and of every country in which civi- lized society subsists, that no one shnuld come; upon the esrate of another "without his consent, iie therefore directed the Jury to a, ive such damages as they thought IhcPlaintilfeutitlNJ te. but left it wholly to their own discretion to settle (heari) iunt.—After some deliberation, the Jury to ict,,irn of no wished to return a verdict of no' damages! Mr. Tinney told them he would not receive this as their verdict; that they were bound by the writ under which they acted, and by the catb they had taken, to assess some damages. Motwitb* standing this admonition, and their being twice sent back fer further consultation, the Jury refused to alter their return. Sir. T. then said 'I lie Wtil-lld si ill do his, and they must fa Ice the c,o?i3equenre" of their refusal. The Defendant said he would indemnify the Jury for persisting in their first determination. Ihe verdict was not received, and we under- stand the names of the Jurors will be returned to the Court ol King's Bench, with the circcm- stanees attending this extraordinary case. 'Ihe Court was entirely full, and the return stanees attending this extraordinary case.

ISLE OF BOURBON. -----
ISLE OF BOURBON. Further Parlitulars of the Attack upcit the Isle of Bourbon. On the 20lh of September, Commodore Rowley, (commanding the cruising squadron off tlie Isle of France) in the Haisouabic, 64, I accompanied by tbe Hoadieea, Capt Sinus, Capt. Pym and Nereide, Capt Corbel, with the Otter sloop,Capt. WiHou^hby,came from the cruising station, off" the Isle of France, to the Isle of Bourbon, prepared for an attack upon the town of St. Paul, and shipping in the roads, which at that time con- j sisled of the Caroliue frigate, of 48 guns, and 400 men, with her two prizes, the Streatham i and Europe Indiamen, manned and armed; a small privateer, formerly the Grappler gun- brig, and several other small coasting vessels. On hoard the fleet were Lieut.-Col rue! Keating, of his Majesty's 66th regiment, wilh about 200 men of that regiment, and 170 Bombay sepoys, from the island of Rodrigues (Lieut.-Colonel Keating having beclIseut by the Bombay Government to take possession of that island, which he had done about two months before): This force, with the marine's of the fleet, and about 100 seamen, under t. Wilioughby, in ali 750 men, were land id from ili« Nereide at 4 a. m. a few miles from the town, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Keating, and pushed forward as last as possi- ble but, from the badness of the road, did not arrive at the lown till seven o'clock. I The party divided and attacked liu- defence of the Iowa, consisting of live batteries, three of which were furnished with furnaces { M- red 1 1 ol shot.—They experienced some resistance, t but by their persevering gallantry were in possession of tlie whole five before nine o'clock, as also of the town-. The lJIIS were turned upon the French ships in the Hoad., just at the time our ships were entering the bay. There can be no doubt of what oor ships itould have done had there been occa- sion; but the French ships seeing themselves attacked on both sides, struck beioreour ships were in a condition to Ore wilh effect ? so that very few shot were fircd, The French snips defended themselves weii, while their defence could be of any use, and sent a parly to assist I he troops on shore. Captain Pym, of the Sirius, hoisted » sig- nal (or permission to anchor, which wa> ed, but, before lie opened bis fire, the ships struck. Every humane attention was shewn by Commodore Howlej, and Lieut.-Colonel Keating, to the inhabitants, who suffered more trom the piuydei of their own slaves than from our troops. We had between 60 and 70 men killed and wounded. There never was any idea of keeping; possession of the rsiand, as the force was not sufficient for that purpose. Their sole object was a coup de main, which was planned and executed with abtfity and vigour. The ships in the roads, and the eaptured cargoes, were the induce- ments, the former of which were ail taken, and about half the latter brought away, the rest havill been burnt. The Goyeruor of the Island came down with a reinforcement from St. Dennis, but return- ed without effecting; any thing. Immediately after his return, he put an end to his exist- CllCC, leaving a written paper upon his table, explaining the motives by which he was in- duced to adopt a resolution of so shocking a nature. The widow of the General having expressed a wish to join her family at the Isle of France, Commodore ltowley humanely appointed a small vessel, under a cartel flag, to take her there with her family, servants, aud effects, an act highly gralifying to the French, as weii as to the English prisoners, who had been ii- j berated by the capture of the town, and who had been treated wilh the greatest kindness and attention dus iug a residence of two months on the island. The English, by articles entered into with the Commandant of St. Paul, retained quiet possession of the towu, and a certain distance round it, for S days.
