BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.
BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. An interesting trial came on in the Court of King's Bench, Dublin, on Aloiidav, liefoi-enlr. Juslice Day, and a special Jury. It was an ac. tioii brought hy Miss Frances French, against Mr.Ignatius Keogh, for a Breach of Promise ot Marriage. The damages were laid at Five Thousand Pounds. It appeared hat a contract of Marriage had been regularly made between the parties; lhat'theycorresponded and looked upon each other as bound indissolubly toge- ttici, Plaintiff, however, became em. harrassed-was put, into the Sheriff's Prison- and declined to fulfil the contract. An Act of Insolvency was passed, and Mr. Keogh was b fi all-out to avail himself of it, but ifnding a fiat which had been obtained at the suit of the young Lady against him, all insuperable bar I to his enlargement, he agreed ctict, more to j renew the contract, which he did in writing, ind upon getting two friends of his to become guarantees for tiie due fulfilment of il lie re- gained his liberty. He continued to corres- pond with the Lady, but after a short interval, the ardour of his love became cooler and cooler. Each letter was more formal and less atfedjonale than the preceding one, uBtd at length he wrote, to say, that in consequence of an anonymous teller winch he said lie had received, but which was never produced, im could dot think, of making her his wife. The letter which contained this closeci, the correspondence. Judge Day in his charge to the Jury, characterised it flit a most base and disgraceful, though well writti i compo- sition He said il was evident frc "the style of rhe Ictter, that the writer had looked into hooks, but that its matter afforded a mebn choly proof of his perversion to iil purposes of the ht.- acquired. Ot tbe anonjmoos letter which the Plaintif fassigned as the motive for breaking; off the contract, his Lordship Observed, that it might never have had any existence, save in Hie imagina- tion of the Plaintiff himself, and if it-had aa actual existence, it might have been his own composition. If this were not so, th, Learned Judge asked, why had not the Plaintiff shewn the letter to the young Lady's friends, that the;, might endeavour to discover and punish I her- foul ? Upon the whole his Lordship pronounced it one of the most ag- gr&v&ted cases of the kind that had ever corns before him. The Jury found a verdict for the Plaintiff, Damages Two Thousand Pounds aud | Costs The Plaintiff's caM was stated hy Mr. Ser- jeant M'Nahou upon ihe same sid-; were Sir. Driscoll, Mr. Wallace, and Mr. North, Mr—Henry Deans Grady, staled the Defend- ant's cac-Mr. Goold and Mr. Fallon were with him. 1 he speeches were long there were several witnesses examined, and a great number of letters read the Court was crowded to excess, and among the auditors were many ladies ill the galleries.—The trial lasted from half past ten in the morning, until seven o'clock, and en- gaged much attention. s
DATTLE OF ASSAVE, XJNOBR GENERAL…
DATTLE OF ASSAVE, XJNOBR GENERAL WELTESLEY, KOW MARQUIS WELLINGTON. Scindia, and the Rajah of Bcrar (nne of the Mahratfa provinces), with an army of nearly 40,000 men, had taken up a strong position near the village of Assaye their siluation was some- J thing similar to an European entrenched camp, aud, what is i/misuat in Indian armies, the forces j were distributed according to the most judicious i ruies of military tactics. As soon as General Wellesley received information of their place of lie resolve(i to storm it. Accord- ingly, on the 23d September, 1803, he marched forwards from Nanhiair, a distance of six miles, for this purpose. Colonel Stevenson, with the troops of the izam, was absent, hut was hourly expected to join. General Wellesley, however, resolving not. to wait for his junction, marched forwards without him. When he reached thc village of Assaye, he found that the enemy pos- sessed an alarming superiority of force. Scindia and the Rajah had 30,00') cavalry, 14,000 infan- try, and nearly 200 pieces of artillery. In addi- tion-to this, there were a great number of French officers, who were chiefly to be dreaded as serving the cannon.—General Wellesley's army did not amount to 5,000 men and of oiily 2,000 were Europeans. The skill of his arrangements and the valour of his troops, .were all that lie had to counterbalance this inequality. They were sufficient. A river flowed nearly in front of the enemy's position. The General forded it, and drew up his infantry in two Iines, and behind them the British cavalry in a third, a» a reserve. His intention was to attack ihe right of the Mah- ratras, it being his great object to avoid their artillery, which was on t'feir left, and to turn their right, knowing that if lie defeated the in- fat) try, (he guns must follow as a matter of course. His orders were, however, disobey ed t the officer commanding the picquets, which were on the right of the first line, moved upon the enemy's left. This immediately made a gap. in tire first line. The.74th, which was on -tite right of the second line, naturally followed the Racquets,aud Gen. Wellesley was therefore obliged ;iv bring the whole of his force into one line, 'I iie con- sequence was as he foretold. ,The-right of our line was exposed to the tire of upwards of one hundred pieces ofatnnery, and was nearly de- stroyed. Nothing, however, could exceed the promptitude and skill with which bis operations were conducted, when he found himself compell- ed to alter, initantaneoasly, the whole plan of attack, in consequence of that officer's disobe- dience.-A circumstance now occurred, which, when the numerical inferiority of the English army is considered, might justiy iiave excited alarm and dismay in any commander who did not possess the firmest reliance upon ihe resources of fis own geiiiiiq. It was discovered that the artillery, of which there Was but little, could not be hrought into use, while the numerous can- non of thq enemy, served by French officers and engineers, were placed so as to do the greatest execution. Gen. Wellesley, with that intuitive perception of the precise course to be adopted in any exigency, immediately gave orders to aban- don his gnus and come to cfose combat. He took his own station of peril and command, at the head of the whole line, and having placed Col. Maxwell with the cavalry so as to, cover his right (beilig secure on his left from the nature of the ground and relative position of the enemy) he advanced to battle. The Mahiattas were as- tonished and terrified at the dauntles band that opposed itself to their hosts but. after a few moments, they rallied from their consternation, and their tremendous cannon, served by the French officers, began to play upon the assail- ants with great effect. English courage, led on by such a General as Wellesley, however, was not to he intimidated our soldiers used their bayonets—a powerful weapon in their hancs^ the Mahratta troops for awhile resisted. fe sently the first line gave way, but they ra ie again, as if struck by a sense of shame, tha sot an inferior force should subdue them again y gave way and fell back upon their second i e, which was posted in a strong position on me river Juak. Meanwhile, the Mahratta horse, whd hung on the adjacent h ills in numerous co- .vi horts, made a furious attack un the 74th, being a part of that force which Gen. Wellesley had posted on his right to secure his rear an.i flanks. The brave 74-th received the shock undaunted; our cavalry rushed to their assistance, followed the Mahratta horse up the hills, and achieved a conquest, with immense slaughter. The second line of the enemywas as yet elllire, and the at- tack was now directed against it, which had been thrown into some confusion by the incorporation of the first with if. The cavalry under Colonel Maxwell and the infantry under Gen. Wellesley, made a furious charge upon them, at once the enemy, unable to withstand the shock, tle'd in all dir ections and the British deeminp; victory com- plete, followed.the fugitives in all the ardoar of conquest. But this ardour had nearly proved fatiiL The discretion of General Wellesley, and the bravery of Colonel Max well, alone prevent- ed it from robbing our army of all the fruits of their achievement. A number of the Mahrattas, who had thrown themselves on the ground a* if slam, were passed unnoticed by the British troops in the pursuit of the filing enemy but suddenly they arose seized the cannon which had been reft in the rear by our army, and began to open upon them a fierce and destructive can- nonade. The "British, scattered by pursuit, could not act against them effectively. The,Mahratta infantry, seeing this, and encouraged by it, be- gan to reform themselves, and faced about upon ¡ itpir IWfsÚerH. The British were thus placed between two-fires, allrl, besides, were scattered in small bodies from the pursuit which they had commenced. ,The Whole battle was to be fought over again and Gen. Wellesley seeing at once the danger his army was in, put himself at the head of the 78th, and a battalion of Sepoys, aud charging the M-aluatias who had seized the guns, after a very bioody and perilous contest, in I which a horse was shot underhim, and his per- sona! danger was very great, he compelled ttiem to betake themselves to flight. At the same time, Colonel Maxwell-charging the enemy's in- fantry at the head of 11u> 19th dragoons, com- pleted the victory with the loss of his own life pleted the victory with the loss of his own life adding one more to the 'list of those heroes whose memories are embalmed in the grateful fears of an admiring nation. The släugh'er Wt!S great. The Mahrattas fought with the fury of I men who were sensible of the shame of yielding to an inferior force and General Wellesley con- ducted the whole operation with that skill, deci- ¡ sion, and vigour, which have so eminently cha- racterised his military career.

.TIUNITY Bir.i,. On the motion for the third reading of the Trinity Doeirine Bill. The Archbishop of Canterbury could not help regretting that a Bill of such importance should have come before them at such a period of the Session. They had instances of the consequences of these delays, in a bill of great, importance pas- singwith acknowledged imperfections. He did nor, however; mean to. oppose the Bill, though he for it. The Church had never attempted to ex- erfcising that free right of interpretation, in re- gard to the Scriptures, which it had exercised for itself when it separated from the Church of Rome. Aothing indeed could be more abhorrent to (he spirit ot the English Church than perse- cution, which never tailed to augment and in- flame, when it. endeavoured to mitigate and ex- tinguish. I The .Bhhop of Chester also thought the Bill ¡ unnecessarry but he was glad it had been j brought'forwanl, because it must afford a proof «f <he very tolerant spirit of the Church of Eng- land The Bill was then read a third time and passed. Mr. Wharton and others from the Commons, returned the Ship Owti(!i-s' Bill, and Windsor Forest Bill, with the amendments agreed to.- Adjourned.

\ VACCINATION.
VACCINATION. To the Editor of the North Wales Gazette. MATLONAL VACCINE ESTABLISHMENT. SIR, The board of the National Vaccine Establish ment having received intimation; of a" assertion That Vaccination protects pen pIe frodl (he Small Pox fora few year-sollly," ilnd being-deeply impressed with the pernicious consequences which attend the propagation of so rash an opi- nion, think it a duty they owe to the public to declare, from the most attentive and dispassion- ate consideration of the histaryof this disease, collected from every quarter of the world, that the assertion above mentioned is wholly without foundation-that the securityag-aillsl the Small Pox, where the insertion of the lymph has pro- du ed the Vaccine disease, is permanent, and that there is no space, as far as the lapse of (i-,tr.e since its discovery will enable the Boar.; '0 de- cide, which renders people, who have edectu- stisc,-i)til)lc c).r th, Pox, The board does not advance this opposi- tion upon slight grounds; hut upon (he authority of actual exoeriiHent. The ingenious■ Gentleman, Dr. Jpuner, to whom the world is so uoicli in- debted, has tried ill vain to commumca'c the Small Pox by iu i.-ulaiion to persons vdw were vaccinated in 1796. and the same attempts have be;-n >ii ide by other person? with u simila result, on different people, at various periods irom .be' time of iheir vaccination. If is not her eby meant to he denied that the Small Pox has not occurred after vaccination—on the contrary, if has been admitted and the Board, in the last Report to Parliament, hils stared, on a calculation made in France, on a large scale, ihat though u has ha p. pened, vet that the instance'- of its occurrence, in [).-i)l)ortioit to the ii-,ikiihei- few, bein? -as one in 331.666, and that the apear- ance of tlie Small Pox a econd litlle, ill persons who have had tt,,it. di,or.ler fyofii is more frequent. TheSureons al)pe.ilted to ,!Ie nine stations in this metropolis ha.e assu td ihe Board, that they have never seen any of the persons who had been vaccinated by them, at- tacked with the Smal: :ox, 2nJ it is we;' known, that to a few persons to whom the Small Pox has occurred afrer vaccination in its mos' vinilent form, not a single instance can be pr.xtucevi of its provin? fatal.— If, therefore, vaccination does not entirely prevent, it mitigates and-disarms a dreadful disorder of its mischief, which in former times occasioned the death of one person, ai least, iu teu, of those who were attacked with it. By order of the Board, JAMES HARVEY, Registrar. Leicester-square, July 15, 1813.

Insanity.—Mr. Delahoyde, of ion Vale, performed one of his miraculous cures in ihe course of the fust three weeks, under the ín- spection of the Duke of Sussex, and several Noblemen, together with tne Physician "of 11 sielill the Transport Board. In order to smify these Gentlemen that the merits to which he laid claim were not without foundation,he wentto the house uf Sir Jonathan Miles, at Boxton, and from ninety-three of the wildest of the patients, selected one of the most ungoverna- ble, who had been nearly three years in chains, and was literally naked. This unhappy wretch he had conveyed to his premises at Hoxlon, to make his experiment, where the Physician to whom we have alluded, telt his pulse and found it considerably above a hundred. Mr. Delahoyde then proceeded to perform his cure, which he always does in private, and in a. short time afterwards returned his patient to his guests, who, to their astonishment, found that his pulse had been restored to seventy-three. The man has since been com- pletely restored, and is now at work in the garden at Mon Tale, is perfectly sane. and has had several conversations with the Duke of Sussex and other persons of distinction, who have attested the iact. Independent of this cure several others have been performed hy this Gentleman equally surprising. — His mode of treating his paticnls reruiJills a perfect secret. Some medical men have imagined that he has recourse to exhaustion, but he has clearly proved that this is not his practice; Chateaubriand gives ihe following curious description of the behaviour of a serpent, with which he and his companions, travelling in company with several iamiiiesof savages, had an adventure in Upper Canada, in 1781 ¡ One diiv a ratile- stiake entered our encamp- ment. Among us was a Canadian, who coula play the flute, and who, to divert liS, advanced against the serpent with his new species o weapon. On (lie approach of his enemy, the iiauiy reptiie curb himself into a spiral line, flattens his head, inflates his chceks, contracts his lips, displays his envenomed fangs and bloody throat; his double tongue glows like two flames of lire his eyes are huruino-' coals- his body swollen with rage, rises and falls like the hellows of a forge; his dilated skin as. slimes a dull and scaly appearance, and his tail, whence proceeds the death denouncing sound, vibrates with such rapidity as to re" semble a light vapour. The Canadian ROW begins to play upon his flute;' the serpent starts with surprise and draws hack his head. In proportion as he is struck with the maO'Îc effect, his eyes lose their fierceness, the oscil- lalions of his tail become slower. and the sound which it emits becomes weaker and gradually dies away. Less perpendicular upon their spiral line, the rins of the charmed serpent are by degrees expanded and siuk one after another upon the ground in concentric circles. The shades of azure, green, white and gold, recover their brilliancy on his quiv- ering skin; aud slightly turning his head he 6 -1 remains motionless in the attitude of atten- tion and pleasure. At this nioitietit file Caila. dian advauced a few steps, producing with his flute sweet and simple notes. The reptile inclining his variegated neck, opens a passage with Ins head through the high grass and begins to creep after the musician, stopping when he stops, and beginning to follow hiia again as soon as he moves forward. In this manner he was led out of our camp attended hy a great number of spectators, both sava. ges and Europeans, who could scarcely believe their eyes when they witnessed this w >uderfu| effect of harmony The assembly unanimously decreed that the serpent which had So hWhly entertained them should be permitted to es. cape.,?;
