THE FRENCH POLITICAL CREBD. I Translated from the French Edition of Villc-Franchg, By JEAN PETIT, 1677. VIOLENCE is but a bare precaution. Conquerors ought to provide for the future by destroying whatever may hun them. There is no law but the sword, the appetite of go- verning, and the glory to be obtained by aggrandizing a na- tion at the cost and ruin of its neighbours. Pity is a cowardly virtue winch overthrows A crown, whose best support is fear, and impiety its foundation. Arms inspire reverence among men, and troops are the admu'iible advocates which plead a cause best. The procla- mation of cannon is aboveailothertities.. J ustice is a phantom; reason a chimera; marriage a trifle; faith of treaties an illusion; peace but a bait to deceive a people into a state of dangerous security their eonierences ensnaring, and their oaths but sport for children, a trap to catch a cllilv, and a charm for fools. They furtner believe and say, that they ma/attempt and do any thing to disturb their neighbours, and to sow division among them; even, when they profess the greatest regard and iriendship for them; that perjury is just; and that III may be done wherever they can reap any advantage fronj it; that -sincerity ruins them; perfidiousness is profitable; imposture of much benefit; infidelity is the charter of a prince; faith a foolish maxim; keepmg their word but a mean compliance; and violence the proper hinge to move I upon,. They neither regard sighs nor tears: they speak one thing and do another: mak$great promises and never perform any: their mouth flatters while their -heart- betrays; they never shew any friendship without some private end ven- geance is sweet to them; their protection is heavy they embrace with one arm and smother with the other. France is the proteus of the age, ajtd can put on a thousand faces. She enters like a lamb, transforms into a fox, and becomes, as occasion serves, a devouring wolf. They never pardon, are never to be surprised, and their ways are past finding out; carrying oil all their with a double face, a charming voice, and It studied behaviour; and never ceasing till they can enslave or drive the j-ople to despair.

DEFENCE OF THE COUNTRY. Circlar Letter from the Secretary of State to the several Lords Lieutenants of counties, "IÚy Lord, Whitehall, Jan. 16. Referring yotir Lordship to the directions con- tained in my circular letter to Yot], of the 31st 01 October last, for the removal, in cases of emergen- cy, or rendering useless, if need be, such horses, draught cattle, arid carriages, as shall not be want- ed tor the purposes therein mentioned; I am to desire, that your Lordship will consider in every respect, as included in those directions, all such vessels, boats, or craft, as shall not be wanted for the like purposes, or shall not be armed and equipped for the annoyance of the enemy.. As I am informed by his Royal Highness the Commander in Chief, that only one light cart per company can, on such emergency, be allowed to volunteer corps, for carrying the camp kettles and necessaries 011 their march, I beg leave to recom- mend it to your Lordship, to give directions that one such cart be allotted before-hand, to, each com- pany of volunteers within the county of and that one such cart be always kept marked and numbered, as the carriage intended for the use of that particular company for this service. "In consequence also of a late suggestion from his Royal Highness the Commander in Chief, I have strongly to recommend it to your Lordship, in communication with the General commanding the district in which the county of is in- cluded, to give directions for allotting and mark-, ing a suilicent number of waggons for moving the volunteer force where it is not placed in the vici- nity of the coast; and it would be found extremely useful, if boards, such as are used for seats in mar- ket-carts, could be provided and kept in readiness, at the place or places of general assembly, ready to be slung upon the waggons, to which place of assembly these waggons should be held bound to repair upon the signal of alarm being given, I have the honour to be, &c. C. YORKE." Prince Borchesc, with his Lady Paulina, the sister of the Chief Consul, arrived in Rome on the 15th of December. The next morning the Prince went in grand gala to a private audience of his Holiness, and on the next Sunday the Prin- cess appeared at noon for the first time in the Corso, (the principal street in Rome, as a place of public parade,) in an open cabriolet drawn by eight horses, which she drove alone, several times up and down the Corso, to the great astonishment 01 the Roman ladies. On the succeeding Tuesday, she was presented with her mother-in-law, by Car- dinal Fesch, to his Holiness, who received her, not in the garden palace, where ladies arc commonly received, but in the papal palace itself, which is only used in the case of persons of the greatest eminence. Rumour is already brewing a new tax upon malt.—It is, however, suspected to be the Mi- nister's intention to take off the duty on beer, and lay the whole upon malt, in order to place both the public and private brewer on a level with regard to taxation. TheCommissioners of Naval Enquiry commenced their sittings on Monday at Woolwich dock-yard, for the purpose of enquiring into the frauds that have been committed at that place. Government has it in contemplation to establish a regular packet to sail between Falmouth and Mal- ta, that a constant communication may be preserved with that island. Major Gordon's improvement of the use of the bayonet is one of the most expert and efficient ever adopted in the art of war, It is founded on equally just and certain principles with those of the lever, or any part of military tactics. Were two batta- lions to meet in conflict, it is, evident, that the one skilled in the Major's scientific invention would lay their antagonists prostrate, before the latter, by the usual mode of charging with the bayonet, could reach a. single opponent. Several military charac- ters of high rank, we hear, have distinguished the improvement with their warm approbation. the information of volun- teer officers, we insert tfii?' fMtowing paragraph on the authority of Mr. Secretary Yorke:— That an Oificer whose service has been accepted by his Majesty, and whose-name has appeared in the Gazette, in testimony of his Majesty's approval, is nOUN D BY HIS OWN OFFER, AND HIS lVLÙFŠTY's APPROVAI., arid cannot after- wards resign- without his Muitshj's Uermissim, although his commission may not have been [nade out. The Boydells, it is said, mean to petition Parlia- ment for permission to dispose of their vast gra- phic treasures by a lottery. If this permission should be/ obtained, it is not intended that their grand national gallery should be divided, but that the pictures, with the whole of the edifice which contains them, should form one lot. According to the plan in contemplation there are not to be any blanks, as all the subordinate lots correspondent with the number of tickets, will consist of valuable drawings, prints, &c. divided in different propor- tions:—There can be little doubt that-the Legisla- ture will readily give its sanction to a plan calcu- lated to preserve a collection of pictures highly ho- nourable to the national genius, as well as to the taste and liberality of the founders; Such a mea- sure may In some. degree recompencethc latter for the labour, anxiety, and expence, which have "at- tended their endeavours to raise a monument'of the British arts worthy of the national character.

An application had been made to the Court of Chancery, in the sitting before term, on the part of Lady Augusta Murray, to oblige Mr. Coutts (who is in possession of a power of attorney from the Duke of Sussex, now at Lisbon, enabling him to receive the Duke's annual pension- of 12,0001.) to pay her 4,0001. which sum was stated to have been settled on her by his Royal Highness, for the main- tenance of the children she already had or might have by the Duke. The objection made by Mr. Coutts-was, that the power of attorney only ena- bled him to rt'mw?,«and not to pay, the money: and the Lord Chancellor, on Tuesday, after having consulted with the Master of the Rolls, declared his opinion, that, unless the grantor of the deed were present, the order could not be made; but that the Court could prevent Mr. Coutts from re- eeiving the money at present; and, if the piaintiif thought proper to make any further motion on the subject, he would give it every attention. In the Court-of King's Bench o.n W ednesday, a motion was made tu increase the issue in an action against Mr. Saville, better known by the name of Christopher Atkinson, for bribery at the late Heydon election. It was stated, that the object of the suit was to recover three penalties of 53,0001.—48,0001.— aná-{}(j,oool.-and that the defendant, having been summoned as 'a Member of Parliament, had bafri- cadocd his house, to avoid being served with any other process; he had made it a perfect fortress; and when any person knocked at the door, a ser- vant hallooed Iroin the top that she had directions not to receive any message or paper. It was fur- ther mentioned, that the honourableSenatot-made it a practice to inclose his castle on the first day of term, and throw it open on the last.The Court directed that 501. might be levied on each penalty. Mrs. LEE and the GORDONS. Friday being,the day fixed upon for the final ex- amination of the two Gordons, they were brought to the Bow-street office from their respective places of confinement. Mrs. Lee was accompanied by Mr. Parkin, her solicitor, and Mr. Const, her Counsel. Mr. Seijeant Best and Mr. Abbott attend- ed tor the prisoners. The bustle of the office, which was excessively crowded, being hushed, Lockhart Gordon ad- dressed the Magistrates, apologising for the im- propriety of his conduct during the former exami- nations with which Mr. Bond and Sir W. Parsons expressed themselves satisfied. The informations of Mrs. Lee and her servants were then severally read. On the suggestion of Mr. Const, the following addition was made to Mrs. Lee's deposition.- "that after sleeping with Mr. Lauden Gordon in the same bed at Tetsworth, they met at breakfast with Lockhart Gordon. When the repast was over she had a very interest- ing conversation with Lockhart, in consequence of which, from serious apprehensions, but whether well or ill-founded she cannot say, she was in- duced to deliver a letter to Mrs. Edmonds, the land- lady of the inn at Tetsworth, addresed to Juliet Davison, her servant, in Boulton-row, mentioning, l" No money, no clothes, compliance or deathand signed R. A. Lee. She would not state the parti- culars of the conversation alluded to, but said that Lockhart Gordon was in so distracted a state of mind that he did not know what he did or said. Mr. Parkin's deposition was to this effect: that he had known the said My. Lee, (late Rachael Fanny Antonina Dashwood,; spinster) for upwards of seventeen years, and who about the year 1704 intermarried with Matthew Allen Lee, Esq. that soon after the marriage a settlement was made of Mrs. Lee's property, by the Court of Chancery, by which nearly the whole of her property was vested in the trust of Mr. Parkin and three other gentle- men, who were authorised to pay a certain sum to Mrs. Lee for her own sole and' separate use; that in the- year 1795 a separation took place, when it was agreed that Mrs. Lee should receive 10001. per year Tor her life, and which had been paid to her ever since that period, she continuing to live sepa- rate from her said husband, who was still living. The information being signed and sworn to, were distinctly read by Mr. Thomas, the clerk, at the conclusion of which Mrs. Lee observed, that it was all true, but that, comparatively speaking,, she had said very little: Lockhart Gordon instantly remark- ed, with great expression of eye and gesture, Why I think Mrs. Lee the less you say the better." Both the prisoners and their Counsel declined making any defence until the day of trial; when, Mr. Abbott observed,he had no doubt the prisoners would be able to justify their conduct. The parties were then bound over to prosecute at the next Oxfordshire assizes, the evidence not being complete in Middlesex. Mr. Lockhart Gordon applied to the Magistrates for permission for his brother to be committed to Totiril-fields bridewell with him; which request was readily complied with, there being now no rea- son for their being kept separate. 0 Before the Gordons were removed from the bar, Lockhart good.naturedly said," Mr. Bond, this per- diaps is the last time of our mectirig-I hope we part without bitterness." Mr. Bond handsomely rcplie^; "1 ara so satis- fied, Mr. Gordon, with your conduct to-day, that you may depend upon it no impression to your prejudice remains upon my mind in which sen- timent Sir W. Parsons cordially and liberally coin- cided. The office and the adjacent streets were, per- haps, never so crowded as on this occasion. The recent transaction seems the more extraor- dinary the more it is considered.' That a lady, sur- rounded by her servants, and in the heart of the metropolis, should be fcrced from her house, in op- position to her wishes, is a matter almost incredi- ble; she has, however, made attestation to the charge; and if the jury to whom the question will be referred, give credit to her testimony, supported as it is by that of her servants, the prisoners are liable to the penalty of death. The circumstances of Mrs. Lee having returned to the apartment of these gentlemen, after quitting the room and inti- mating her suspicions of their intentions to her maid, and when, either by her orders for assistance, or by leaving ths house, she might have assured her safety; of her consenting to receive the em- braces of Mr; Lauden Gordon, at Tetsworth, when by the slightest communication of her condition, it ] is at least .pmbable she might have avoided the sa- j-1 cfifice; andattei this repeated violence, iier ac- companying him to Glocester,wiil naturally inspire doubts as to the criminality of the gentlemen to the full extent of the charge. Mr. Lockhart Gordon has already paid some part of the penalty of his offence. A living intend- ed for him devolved to the patron last week by the death of the incumbent, who was nearly 80 years of age. In consequence of the late transaction, the living has been,otherwise bestowed. The folio-wing account of a now, and, if correct, most important Nautical '^iscpvaj, is. detailed in the London papers :— "A gentleman, who holds an official situation under Go- vernment, has just invented a noating battery upon a new principle, and which, by. a .mechanical process, may be sent to any given point not exceeding two miles and a'.hajf in distance, and tlleTc discharge, ail her puns in any di- rectional the same moment, without the assistance of human agency. One of these floating batteries may be attached. to every ship, so that if we have-ten ftrufzers off Boulogne, r or any other depot, each ship can send one of these bat- teries into the. enemy's harbour, autl the guns may be brought to bear on the town, or gun-boats, at pleasure. Supposing the nuiuber of batteries sent to .destroy the flotilla be ten, and on hoard each art' four twenty-four pounders,, the destruction they would occasion would be incalculable. • What adds to the value of this-contrivance is, that when the guns have jircd,'the batteries will return t I' instan,taneously to the place from v.iiencc they set out, and on their being reloaded, they will return and go thi, ii-I the same process as before. It is necessary to add, that the calculation- of-distances must be taken inthe day, and the batteries sent out in the night .—The invention is as simple, as it is novel and ingenious; and -an experiment will in a few days be made on the Serpentine-river in Hyde-Park." A detachment of Capt. Furncil's eorpsj under the com- mand of Lient. Bourchipr, have lodged in the county gagl of Limerick, Ireland, two men of the nahie of FarrelJ, one of whom was taken at the attack on the house of Mr. Chil- derhouse near that city, the, other charged with being con- cerned in the said attack. The conduct and gallant defence of Mr. Chitderhou-e., his three sons, and daughter, is highly praise-worthv. On the banditti-entering the house, one of them fired, and wounded the eldest son, on which the young- est son took a blunderbuss and lodned tiM* coutcnfs in tfie body of one of the villains, of the name ot Cosgrvve, of which he die-l on Sunday morning. Farrelf attacked old Childerhouse with a small scythe, and haying made a New at his head, it was warded off by his .daughter, who nobly defended her father's head, with nearly the loss of her own arm. as she received the blow intended for her father on it; notwithstanding the wound, she seized Farrell by the collar, and held him prisoner, white her iather and brother beat off the remainder of the robber- The following circumstaiiCetoolc place, a few dnys ago, in the vicinity of Dublin':—The wiie of one Broom/a She- riff's officer, eloped with a gentleman, named Hume but the husband havmg pursued the guilty pair, overtook them, and instantly shot the lady's paramour dead on the spot, and wounded her in the arm. A patent IHlS beea recentty obtained for an invention in weaving, by which the hair, or rather the fur of the South-Sea seal is manufactured into cloths of various widths and thicknesses, of the most delicate texture imaginable, being far softer and pleasanter than the fiinest velvet. For some time 110 mode Cpuld be devised to dye it—that discovery, however, now is made. The original colour is very beautiful, resembling that of a fawn. Itlshighly satis- factory to see British ingenuity and ehterprize thus continu- ally' exploring new sources of comfort and wealth from every quarter of the globe, from die land'and from the ocean. In these ghoslhj times, the relation of a curious circumstance which happened a few days ago at an inn, in Doncaster, may perhaps prove entertaining A traveller having put up at the inn, and received the ne- cessary refreshment, retired to rest, but was disappointed for his head had scarcely reached the downy pillow, when he was alarmed by a violent knocking at his chamber door, accompanied with (loudly vociferated) OstJer Ostler Ostler The traveller replied that the ostter did not steep there, and begged the person to desist knocking and halloo- ing. lie had scarcely composed himself for rest, when the noise again commenced,- and continued for some time. The enraged fatigued traveller at length resolved to see who the intruder was and, having opened the dobr, ahd seeing no person, concluded that his answer had satisfied. is He then went to reft again, when the knocking and halloo- ing "Ostler" was again repeated with redoubled vigour. The traveller, at a loss to conceive from whence such re- peated noises could issue, and having had iiis imagination distorted by the ghostly accounts ill the dirti-nait newspa- per. concluded that the knocking, &c. must proceed from some supernatural cause, and frightened to such a decree, that he began to cry out "Murder! thieves! fire!" which soon alarmed all the persons in the inn, who immedi- ately hastened to his chamber,to know the cause, where; they found the poor traveller almost frightened to death. At length, however, the cause was discovered ajaek daw, belonging to the inn, from the frequency of the expression of Ostler," had learned to pronounce it so distinctly, that a strav -jer might easily mistake it fora human voice, and had madetheknoèking with his beak, a trick taught him by the ostler to awaken him in the morning. More, food for Supcrstition.~A singular occurrence has recently taken place at Atytton Old Hall, near Borough-' bridge, Yorkshire.—This house had for a considerable time been untenanted, owing to a rumour very generally .circu- lated in that part of tho country, that it was haunted.-— About, a year since a very respectable family, despising such ridiculous notions, entered upon the premises, which they inhabited for some time undisturbed. The particular room which had been pointed out was used as abed room of one of the tenant's daughters, and a young lady then on a visit to her. Strange noises were occasionally heard, and being generally attributed to a -servant, he was dis- charged upon suspicion. However, about the middle of Jast November, the two young ladies were awakened by what they thought was the snapping of a pistol by their bed-side. They listened for some tune with considerable anxiety and alarm, scarcely -■-daring to breathe when at. last, by, an invisible power, thtsy were forced out of the bed and room with so much violeiiee, that the no'ise was dis- tinctly heard over the whole house. In consequence of this extraordinary eveTtt, every possible search was made, and. Those felt doubts, who ne'er felt doubts before." The respectability of the family, and the acknowledged veracity of the terrified females, induced many confident visitors, clergymen, and others, to examine into the cause of such strange occurrences. Clergymen have slept in the, room, and others have watched throughout the whole night, but all experienced similar disturbances, with more or less violence, and have quitted the house in silent thought und reflection upon the origin of what they now uniformly be- lieve to be the work of no human means. The family are leaving the residence, which they Can no longer tenant with domestic comfort. At a future period the artifice will no doubt be detected; and we trust the contrivers of so mis- chievous a device will not escape unpunished. A certain Captain, who was lately found doing the duty of another officer in the environs of one of the fashionabie squares, is likely to pay very dear for being on that duty in an viulress. A provident Subject.—A wiseacre of Lymm, in Cheshire, having by dint of starvation, scraped together ten Abra- hams, in order ,to hide them from the Corsican invader, converted; the thatch of hii) house into a bank, and care- fully crammed them into it.—This happened on Christmas- day; on New-Year>day he stole secretely to his nest; when, alas! he found that the poor Abrahams had all been -nibbled away by a cpngrag'atioh of rats* scarcely a remnant of his raged notes being left-—and in cramming his paw into the deposit --the poor miser, as an additional mortification to the loss of his money, had a finger dreadfully bitten by one of the banking derks-namely, dependents of the ancient four-footed Norwegians—who invaded this coun- try some centuries ago. A Subscription Dinner.—A partv of gentlemen dined together at Aughton on the 8th iii.slT After the company had been v well entertained with good English roast-beef, they were disturbed by. a great bustle in the passage; when a pudding was introduced, composed of 60!b. of flour, 1411). sugar, i)lb. raisins, Oil), currants, l'iib. butter, /50 eggs, 31b. candied lemon, 5»z. cinnamon, and 5 quarts of brandy length 5 feet 8 inches, circumference M ieet 9 inches, and weighed 1191b. —-— — -■ rr- BIHTII?.- -Sunday sreftissw, the C<nsntv-33 of T5nnl>ury, a 0011.— S.nae day,"the iae.y of <Japr.

BURTON ALE. ANN—Langolee. Oi the Hill of Parnassus some poets will tell UV And Helicon Fountains, a round-about tale; Believe me they're nothing b,ut watery Fellows; For PII' T -J there's nothing like good Burton Ale. o rare Burton Ale, which sparkJes so prettily, Makes one keep rhyming and singing so wittily, Not all the Slipslops from' France, Spain, or Italy, Can equal, for Poets, your good Burton Ale. Let them drink till they bunt of their Hippocrene water, And then aLIllY song and myself let them rail; Let them hang up Apollo and all his nine daughters, Give me but A bumper of good Burton Ale—■ Of,fine Burton AV, that sparkles so prettily, And makes one keep rhyming and singing so wittily, o there's nothing in-Ireland, France, Spain, or Italy, Which sparkle's so bright as your good Burton Ale. o ves-there is something; it was my mistaking, A something I belter than any tiling prize, /K. something much brighter than what I've been speaking, '1'js the sparkling of Norah Brute ruddery's eyes. O K'irah'S black eyes, they sparkle so prettily, Site kisses so sweet, and her TONGUE wags so wittily, £ >> NOT all the stage dancers from France, Spain, or Italy, Can equal my Scrub's two pretty black eyes. JBTRT what of aii f1,at ?—why there's surely no wonder THAT ONE or the other should sometimes prevail; L^OR my part, I wish not to have them asunder, The lass and the glass—love and good Burton Ale. O' glib tongue! how it prattles so wittily, JVFTER a drop of -nice Burton, which sparkles so prettily A 'A. for the vineyards of Fiance, Spain, and Italy, Here's Norah Bntlgruddery and good Burton Ale. -ro-
