St is now the property of the Kev. Whitehall Davies, of BrougtUou, ill the county of Flint. tiffro. A conversation to the following effect is aaul r to have taken place on the apprehension of Sir Francis Burdett by the Serjeant at Arms;— J he Serjeant. Sir Francis you are my pri- soner.—Sir Francis. By what right, Sir, have you foi ced an enlranee into my house, in vi- olalionof the law of the land ?—Scrj. Sir F. 1-am required to arrest you under the authu ritv ofthis warrant.—Sir F. Sir, I again ask you to exhibit to melhc law that authorised -you to break into lily houset-Slj. My au, thority is in my hand. It is a warrant signed by the Speaker of the House of Commons.— Sir F. Sir, I tell you that warrant, I kllow it to he illegal. it does not justify you in-secur- ing my person in the open street, much iess in breaking open my house.—Serj. I am jus- tified in bdicvingthc warrant of the Spcaker, authorised by a vote of the Commons, to he; a legal instrument, and I require you to sur- render yourself to me in virtue of it.—Sir P. Sir, do JOU demand me in the name of the King ? In that case I am prepared to obey.— No, Sir I repeat that demand you in the name aud hy the authority of the Com- mons of I d,,tiv tli,t they have the power, and i desire you to take notice, that I consider the law of the laud as violated in mv person, and that i am taken from my house by an unlawful force. The Serjeant, and Messengers, and-Consta- bles, now took the Baronet into custody, arid, upon a signal being given, a glass coach ap- proached the street door, and the cavalry made the greatest haste to surround the coach to the number of several hundreds. The B;v ronel was put in first, and was followed by Serjeant at Aer/is-siad another Officer. Two-of. r the Baronet's friends got in after then), but, as we understand, were obliged to get oiu again. The coach, escorted by the cavalry, set ofi at a quick rate, up Alhemarie-slreet, acros- .ond street, though Conduit and Uanover- -quare, for.the New Hood, in order to avoid -is,ii through the main slreels The cap- ure was made at an earlier hour than I tie rowd had been in the habit of assembling; rhe event therefore was not immediately o.

When a State Prisoner enters the Tower, some cannon are always fired. This gave rise 0 .an absurd report of the populace bavins been fired upon.—Upon a return of the mili- tary from the Tower, they returned in the fol- lowing ordcr--a platoon of tilt) cavairy 'firsl, then infantry, and lastly cavalry. Upollthe passing of the military by Litlie F,ast Cheap, the mob attacked the iast platoon with stones ♦ind mud—the cavalry fired their pistols—one ball passed through the lantern of a tinman, corner of East Cheap-another through the window of the first floor of Mr. Martin, a Sheffield plate-worker. Two or three persons are killed, and several dangerously wounded.
The uncertainty of 11 urn…
The uncertainty of 11 urn an Testimony. To t'he Ediiors of the ISnrth fralcs GM<CUe, Gentlemen, 1 have, by a friend who was travelling into your 'neighbourhood* sent you the follow- ing well authenticated facts, which may tend to caution juries from placing too great reliance upon circumstantial evidence, which indeed could hardly be said to be the case in the following instance; for there were apparent proofs sufficient to justify I them in-returning their verdict, guilty. MONT ALTO. H Jaques du Moulin, a French refugee, having brought over his family and a small sum of money, employed it in purchasing lots IIf goods that had been condemned at the Cus- tom-house, which he again disposed of by re- tail. Though the dealers in this sort of traffic were suspected of adding smuggling to their ostensihle trade, yet in the general eSlimation DII Moulin's character was not impeached, until he had been frequently detected in utter- ing pieces of counterfeit coin. This soon brought him into disrepute, and lie gradually lost not only his business but his credit. I t, happened that having sold a parcel of goods to the value 01 inS to a Mr. Harris, he re ceivetl the money in guineas and Portugal gold, several pieces of which he scrupted,but on Harris weighing them and assuring him that they were good Du Moulin took them and gave his receipt. In a few days Du Mou- lin returned six pieces which he avowed were base metal, and part of the sum which he had before received or him for the lot of goodq.- Harris denied, and refused to exchange them. After violent altercations, Du Moulin was obliged to swear to them, and Harris to re place the-m in payment. Harris circulated bitter complaints against Du Moulin, who found himself now universally shunned in consequence of some defamatory words, Har- ris, in conjunction with several other persons, who had suffered in the same way in their dealings with Du Moulin, had him apprehend- ed upon suspicion of counterfeiting the com. ei Upon searching his drawers, a great number of counterfeit gvld were found in a drawer,and in his scrutoire a Cask, files, a pair of moulds, powdered chalk, aqua regia, and several coin- ing implements. In these circumstances he was brought to trial, found guilty, and order- ed for execution. It happened, that a few days before he wss to have been executed that one Wiiiiams a seal engraver, was killed from his horse, his wife beln big with child mis carried, and sensible that she could not live, sent for the wife of Du Moulin, and disclosed the whole affair, which was, that her husband was one of four who had for many years sub- sisted by counterfeiting gold coin, which she had been frequently employed in putting off, and was therefore entrusted with the whole secret ? that one of these persons had hired himself to be a footman or porter to Du Maulin, and provided by the gang with false keys, had disposed of severalsums of bad money, by opening his master's scrutoire aDd substituting hawefor an equal number of good which he took out he had been de frauded of his business, his credit, and his it. berty, and would in a'short tune have been deprived of his life, Du Mouliu's servant stoutly denied the TVholc charge, btit a mes- senger arriving who had Searched the lodg- 2-1 t, ings, where he found a great quantity ofbase coin, and implements of coining I he then COli. fessed the whole, and directed where other tools aud money might he found, and the btificil of, kevs, wherein was one that opened liti Mouliu's scrutoire. lie then declared how the tools came into his master's scrutoire, that when he heard the officers of justice were coming to search, conceiving that they would examine his box, by the false key that he had he conveyed the implements, &c, into his master's scrutoire, and had just locked it when he heard them at the door. Du Moulin was discharged, and the others, except this man, who was admitted an evidence againstthem, were executed."
[Miscellaneous,'i
Miscellaneous, 'i In ocr last paper we gave a detailed account of the disturbances in Loudon, occasioned by the commitment of Sir F. Burdett to the i Tower, down to Monday at three o'clock.— It gives us infinite pleasure to state, that fhe | Metropolis is once more in a state of perfect ^ir/f^cuilitv, and that there have been no un- usual-assemblages since. Every precaution, however, was taken, to prevent a repetition of the transactions of Friday, Saturday, Sun- day, and Monday. The several volunteer corps were assembled, to protect the inhabi- tants from the violence of the mob, incase their awl lUioulu b..f)iiirt:'U The Coldstream fhirirds were under orders, and each man was I furnished with thirty rounds of ball cartridge; military parties paraded the streets to a Tile hour; and the cannon in ^t.- James's Park,; from Woolwich, were loaded with six pound bails. But, happily, there was no occasion for such dreadful alternatives.—There has not yet appeared any positive statement of the num- her t..i!h,! <ll\dWoHn(\ed, It two were killed, and ei^iil wounded it is to tm hoped that tliis account is exaggerated, but we fear the loss may be.rated much high- er.— We refer our readers to the parliamenta- ry fleha-"s; they will -be found particularly interesting. i'iou-hiug J/atch.—On the 20th ult. a .iloughuisr match took place on the farm ol ■ 'eaconsfieid, at Great Tew, in the comity ol in the holding of Mr. Stenhouse Wood acres, of that 'valuable estate of Gtoat 'I ew-) when 20 plough-: stalled, TO belonging to Mr. Wood, 11 were held hy Englishmen, aud 9 by Scotch- men} all the piougiw in pairs, in the Scotch tde, without drivers lie ii their ploughs atmiTingly well, but the Scotch- men had the advantage, from their enrly ha bits of cultivation with plou;;b and pair. When the work was .completed tiie judges awarded—To the best English ploughman, is.—1<, the gnd ditlo, ;i6s.—and to the it-d rewards to lhelhrt,c best Scotch ploughmen. The method of ploughing was new in that part of the conn trv, wi>cre the ploughs go with i>>t;r or five horses a-head 'in the furrow, -with a-.driver, and generally plough about three inches deep Ufon the lightest of loom land. This match may means of introducing the 1)1.,u.-h ar-tj :k into geceral use., ps the EnglishTann- ers the* present, were well convinced of its superior)!}. it, late rains have-proved nncommou 1 v fatal to the lambs in-lite Nor- thern parts of Knglaud,as well as to theewes and the losses sustained by the farmers, are 'very great. Upon the high lands, f he wheats •-■are" chilled and backward aud in the west I -countries, the sowing of oais has stopped, as the soil can neither be ploughed nor harrowed with dlect. Amongst the precedents, for the .infliction of punishment by our anci:>nt Parliaments, we adduce the following, recorded by Petyt, in his collection of Parliamentary Persecutions as curiosities. John Such-u-ouc '• wished that the devil would flyaway with the Parlia- ment," This was resented by thirteen months imprisonment. — homas Such-anot her said, the Parliament, is carrying on the works of darkness." He was sent into a tit+ngeon.— A thirdsaitl," lie was not afraid of a pillory." I/e was put iirti} one three successive day* 1 1 — And of a fourth, this infamously ignorant remark stands upon record, "We say, that John Stevens is a mam we cannot tell what to make him and he hath hooks we do Hot understand them; he had better be put into the .pillory.; 1 !"—Was it not beneath the magnanimity of a supreme legislature to take notice of such trifles, and to give consequence 10 persons and to fellies which ought to have been despised ? By information from a Gentleman just ar- rived from France, we hear that a curious question was discussed by a Synod of Bishops on the occasion of the meeting between Buo- naparte and the Austrian Princess, at the town of Compiegne, on the river Ois, 45 miles north-east of Paris. ft was inquired of these Prelates, assembled in the Ecclesiastical Court, if it were lawful, that Napoleon and Maria-Louisa, who had been married by proxy at Vienii.i, could, consistent with the Christian law, sleep beneath the same canopy ? After a" tihot*1 t^iisuiiauon of these Episcopal Due- tors, permission was given, and, we are told, that the religious scruples of the Imperial Maiden were by thtise venerable Patriarchs happily removed. However we may deplore the late tumults, it ought not to pass unnoticed, that from the first to the last, there was not the least symp- tom manifested, nor a solitary cry heard among the crowd that could he construed into to the State. The crowd were impressed with the idea, that in the treatmcnt of Sir Francis Burdett, growing out of the case of Gale Jones, the Constitution had been vio- lated, Hilt no settled plan against the Go- vernment vves formed—there were no secret Committees—no revolutionary placards stuck up or circulated—no attempt made to take advantage of the feelings ot the mob, alld io turn their indignation against other objects. There was none of that dark and dangerous spirit that was developed at different periods of the last war. This, it is necessary to state, because the enemy, no doubt, will endeavour to misrepresent the disturbance, and we are prepared to find, in I lie itext arrival of French Papers, accounts finely coaiuscd and. highly alarming.—Ccwmr. Some idea may he formed of John Bull's attachment to solids and fluids, from the fol- i lowiti-- fact t)tjiiiher of head of cattle < at Smithfield, in the week preceding the last amounted to 3,300, sheep 19,000, pigs 500, and calves 513 ;-206 tons of beef, and 200 t tons of pork, were also imported. Spirits im- i ported last week in London, 39,970 gallons of brandy, 47,800 ditto of ruin, wines 89,880 gallons; 638,659 lbs. of tobacco: sugar < 30,164 cwt/; coffee 2,960 diltto and cotton • 23,119 lbs. 1 Anecdote of a celebrated drinker.-M r. Van- horn, a Hamburgh merchant, not long since of Broad-street, London, was used to frequent the Bull inn, Bishopgate-streel. He conti- nued to do so, and presided at a daily meeting there, for three and twenty years sticcegsively. < Every day of that time (two only excepted, when called of to attend family funerals), he drank in the above house four bollles of red port wine, and began a fifth. In the said term of three and twenty years, he drank, 4,1 thirty-five thousand six hundred, and eighty eight bottles,being fi fty- n ille p j pes of red port" the Bishop of J'llphin—The liberality which distinguished that amiable and truly estima- ble prelate, Dr. Law, the iale Bishop of El- phim and which marked every action of his Ille, was particularly observable in his will.- j lie left to the Hcv. James Whiteiaw, Vicar of St. Catherine's, Dublin, 5001. Of this gentle- lIJan his Lordshi}lknew ,¡wthilJh but ,bis vir- ,J 'furs snd literary acquirements.; but to such a man as Doctor Law, they were the best re- f commendation. He had previously bestowed npon him the living-ill the dtucese of Etphin, held hy the late Dr. Sandtord and in his last, and tedious sickness, was often heard to ex press his sal i-sf ictioiu, that 'he lived to have an opportunity-of shewing him this mark of his friendship and esteem. To Doctor William Magee, Senior Fellow of Trinity College, I Dublin, he has bequeathed a like sum of five hundred pounds. 'Phis.genllcniiin also bad no retommciidatvon'but Ins literary talenls. To Dr Brinkley, Profess-or of Aslronomy, in Trinity College, Dublin, he has bequeathed 50001. with nil his hooks, -valued at 30901.— IIis L«rtlshi,p died worth 45,0001. and his le- gacses, including 10001 to his brother, Lord KHeuborofigh, amount, in the whole, to It's Mrs. Law, and the other half distrihutivelv bet ween his brothers an4 sisters, of w hom, < we believe, four survive him. Coroner's Ikqcest.—Yesterday an Inquest was helil al. a public-house adjoining the Lou- don Hospital, lie lore J- W. Unwin, Esq. on the boily of Thoma-s Bryant, w ho was brought to the hospital the preceding day by some Jews, who said he had been shot by the soldiers w ho were escort ittg Sir Francis Bur- del I Jo the Tower; brit they, the Jews, did not see him shot, hut wer<? informed so. The first witness I hat was called was Mr. Martin- dabs a pupil in the hospital, who deposed, that t'ne-deccased was brought to the London Hospital, on Monday afiornoon, in a dying state; that he ditl not survive more Than 3 ■minutes; he examined the bodv afterwards, and found that a bail had entered the front of, his neck., and lodged in the back of it he extracted the ball, ;:ni.!was sure i't was the cause of I he man's death. The ball Mr. Mar- j i'lidah- produced, and it was entered !r,!o ?hc torOHe,r"s minutes, That it apl"ewretllarer than a ,pislol-t>ail, and looked -tike a carbint: bait." j Mary Bryant said,-shelived in Three Crown Court, and was wife to the deceased's nephew; that yesterday., hi going up ('rulehod friars, I she heard that Thomas iJry ant had been shot; (hat on her getting to the convev of Seething- lane, she saw blood on the street, and observ- ed -marks of shot on the window shut lets. She was informed by the people who came out of a guv-shop co-rilel., that Thomas Bryant had-been still she went and told his w ife, and afterwards went -to the London Hos- pital, where she saw him dead. The witness could not give any evidence how he carne by I Iris death fro-m her own knowledge. The next witness was the unfortunate man's wife, who said she lived at No, 8, Brace's- h¡¡i¡dins"; th-at her husband was 60 years of age-; and was a bricklayer's labourer; that he left her to go to work, at six o'clock on Monday morning, and that she heard he was ,y Ili Ili, shot with the pipe in his mouth, going from where be was at work to his master's house for lime; but that she knew nothing of her own knowledge, how he came by his death, nor did she know who told her what she had stated. On the above evidence the Jury, by the direction of the Coroner, brought in a verdict of Justifiable Homicide. IIcad-Money.—A few days since a cause of Hcad-money was iried in the Court of Ad- miralty, arising out of Sir Samuel Hood, Captainll lAc alld Lukin, objecting to the ship's company of his Majesty's ship Revenge sharing with their ships, for the head-money, in capturing the four French fiigates La Gl >ire, Minerve, Armide, and indefatigable. -After the Judge had beard the most full alld elahurate argumcllt on the point, he, ill the first instance, rejected the claims of the Windsor Caslle, Achille, and Polyphemus; and in determining that of the Kevenge, en- tered fullv into the principle of former de- cisions Is a I bounty, or reward, for actual and direct aid, in cases where an engagement takes place that the aid rendered by the Revenge came the nearest to such a service, but did not completely come up to the principle hitherto field.—He" admitted she was within gun-shot, and was fired at by the enemy, but did itot return the fire, though achlally Oil the point 11 of doing so, when La Minerve struck there- fore, her aid, being passive, she could not be considered in the action, as the returning fire constitutes I he right; and, therefore, could not be entitled to share in the lu ad-money. On this ground, he rejected the lVevenge's claim to share. Sir John Gore tried this case upon public grounds, it being a subject that had never been decided, and upon winch a great ùiIJr- ence of opinion existed throughout the navy, I I I The Judge of the Admiralty has drawn and defined the business very closely, and from this decision, it may, we suppose, be consi- dered as settled,, that when ■ ill) t precedes capture, those ships only that con- tributed thereto, by actually firing at the enemy, will be entitled to share iu the bead- enemy, will be entitled to share iu the bead- llJouey. A At an affray one evening in numberstrcet, Hull, it was found to be literally true, on in- quiry, that Mr. Wright was acting wrong, and Captain Good, a bye-stailder,- tliourht matters so bad, that Mrs. Krooke, a neaft neighbour, was called upon to go in and set all straight. The City Marshals addressed a note to Mr. Goodeve, requesting his attendance before the Court of Aldermen, at Guildhall, yesterday, to give evidence on the subject of Ebtall's melancholy case. The purport of his evidence was, that Mr. Kbtall was a perfect stranger. to him, and during the tumult which took place in Fenchurch-street, on the return of the cavalry escorting Sir F. Burdett to the Tower, he took shelter in his shop, at the corner of Mincing-lane. At the time Eh tall received the wound, he was standing near to the threshold of the door, and was neither hissing, hooting, nor provoking the soldiery in any way whatever the mob had all dis- persed in different directions. Tuesday night, about twelve o'clock, as Adkins, the Bow-street officer, was coming from the Secretary of State's office, at the end of the Piazza, in Huisei-streel, a pistol was tired within three yards of him; whether it was intended for him or any one else that was passing, he could not tell; but at the time several persons were passing and repassing he instantly laid hold of the man that tired, and said to him, "You fired off a pistol t" he then put his hand to the man's pocket, and said," here it is." Adkins then laid hold of a woman who was standing with him at the time the pistol was fired, and was proceeding to take them to the office In Bow-streei, whert several people attempted to rescue the pri- soners, out without effect. Adkins sent the woman to the watch-house, and took the man to the Secretary of State's office, where Mr Head and Mr. Graham, the Magistrates* were in attendance. He was examined by them, and committed for further examina- liol1.-The prisoner said his name was Joblt Hartley, that he came to Loudon ou Friday last, from Yorkshire; he did not come oil any particular business that he bought the pistol on thai day for his own protection, and to protect his property. When searched, he had a one pound note and two or three glw- lings he lodged at the Saracen's Head, on Snow-hill, and left there a little before ten o'clock the same night, alter loading the pis- 101 with powder and bail In his lodgings was found about 40/. From some cards found- upon him, he is supposed to be a surgeon belonging to the Edinburgh College. Jean J)\-iI<>a —This servant ol the Jestlit College at Paris, called that of t lermont» having stolen some pewter plates belonging to that Society, was taken up for the robbery and examined by the Parliament of PariS. He-said in his defence, that he most assuredly had taken the plates irom the College, hut that he had not stolen them, having acted merely in conformity to -i maxim of a Father of their Order, Father Bauny, and who. in his Cases of Conscience," article 1, hcrvants," says, "That servants who are not contented with their wages, may augment them by get- ting into their hands as much be, longing to their masters as they in thefr cnn- sciences think adequate to proportion their wages to their Services""d !•T't it." permilted them to act in this mantler, if they arc s,) iii their circtimslan.ces wheO they themselves to a master, th,tI they are obliged to accept of the w-ges ottered to them by him, whilst other servants, not miife capable than themselves, gain greater wages-" The Parliament of Paris very wsely a very justly paid no regard to this w retched so- phistry, and condemned Jean D'Alba to be whipped before'the door of the College ot Clermont by 'the common hangman, II liO w a at the salllc lime to burn the book in which this detestable and pernicious maxim was con- tained. The Jesuits were at this time in great fa- vour at the Court of Louis the Fourteenths The matter was hushed up, and jetii was no more heard of. It has been observed, that the teachers of mischievous and destructive doctrines appear in general to expect that their fatal conse* quences will never reach themselves. The poisoned chalice sometimes returns to their own lips." Those who inflame the people to tumult and to sedition, are oftell l he first to perish to I he conflagration which they have occasioned? and the propagators of immoral and irreligi- ous opinions have many times, in their oW.11 families and connections, suffered from their sllrcessful ettlrts to shake off Ihe salutary ic". straints imposed upon mankind. A servant of a Gentleman but too apt to blazon his infidel opinions, robbed his master, who reproached him very severely with the crime wlllch he had committed. The servant repfed, that as his master had in his conversation taken away the superior consideration of a life to come to restrain his conduct, he ought not to be surprised ifhis frequent auditor risked the inferior consideration of punishment in life. Funeral of a Suicide.—On Friday, an in- quest was taken on view of the body of Oh;v: Jiah Yardley, of Coventry, who poisoned himself. The Jury returned a verdict of-— Felo de sc.
