It arrived on the 19th at Bologna, and found there 400 of the Pope's troops, who were taken prifoners. I left Tortena the 17th, and arrived at Modena the 19th, from whence I fent orders by AdjutantGeneral Vignole to the garrifon of the Caftle of Urbino to open their gates, lay down their armis, and furrender themfelves prifoners of war. I then continued my route to Bologna, and arrived there at midnight. We found in the caftle of Ubrino o pieces of cannon in good order, 5000 firelocks of a most excellent construction, and provifions for 600 men for two months. The fort is very well adapted for defence; it has works with baftions, furrounded with trenches full of water, and a covered way newly repaired. The Governor, a Knight of Malta, was taken prisoner, with 300 men. The Cardinal Legate, with all the Staff Officers, were made prifoners at Bologna, where we took four ftandards. We have also taken the Cardinal Legate of Ferrara, with the Governor of that fort, who is a Knight of Malta. There are in the cattle of Ferrara 114 pieces of cannon.

He reckons about fifty in the most finished file, and among them is the St. Cecilia of Michiel Angelo, which is thought to be his cb-f dexore.

The diftrict of Bologna is one of the richest parts of the Pope's deminions; and it is impoffible to form an idea of the deteltation in which the Papal Government is held by the inhabitants of this town. "The citadel of Ancona gives us the command of the Adriatic Gulph.

K. 2 DOMESTIC A DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE. JUNE 28. DUEL was fought in a field within three miles of Hamburgh, between Lord Valentia and Henry Gawler, Efq. They left England with their feconds and furgeons for the exprefs purpose of fighting. They fired together. Mr. Gawler's ball took place; it entered his Lordship's breaft-bone, and lodged near the neck; it was extracted on the field, and he is confidered to be out of danger. Lord Valentia's ball paffed through Mr. Gawler's hat. An affair between Mr. Gawler and Lady Valentia was the fubject of the difpute. JULY 1. At the Old Bailey, Mary Nott was capitally convicted, for the wilful murder of M. le Marquis de Gripier de Moncroe de Laval, a French emigrant nobleman, on the 29th of May laft, at his lodgings in Monmouthcourt, Whitcomb-street, of which houfe fhe had the care; and received fentence to be executed on Monday. 2. Richard Ludman, Ann Rhodes, Eleanor Hughes, and Mary Baker, were tried for the murder of George Hebner. This murder was committed in Kingstreet, Eaft Smithfield, in one of thofe obfcure receptacles of debauchery with which this metropolis abounds. The body of the deceafed was found on the morning of Sunday the 22d of May, fufpended by the neck from a bed-poft, in a room on the fecond floor, with his hands tied behind his back. This unfortunate man was a taylor, and had, it feems, been in very diftreffed circumftances, which produced a propenfity to intoxication: when much in liquor, his widow faid, he flept fo found, that it was almoft impoffible to wake him. It was proved that the four prifoners were in the house (which belonged to Eleanor Hughes) on the evening of Saturday the 21st, and next morning. They were feen, and some of their con verfation heard, by two women who lived in an adjoining houfe; this houfe was feparated from that in which the body was found by only a lath partition, perforated in feveral places, and the holes and crevices affording a diftin&t view of almoft all the apartments of the latter. The manner in which the hands of the deceased were bound with a piece of tape was defcribed in the Court. The knot that had been used was what feamen call a TIMBER HITCH, and it was obviously fuch as could not be done by himself. There was no direct and pofitive proof as to the guilt of the pri foners; but there was a chain of moft fufpicious circumftances pointing against Ludman and Hughes. The Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer fummed up the evidence with great precifion, candour, and humanity. It was on the expreffions ufed by the prifoners that the proof chiefly refted, and his Lordship nicely diferiminated between those that feemed to arife from furprife, on the difcovery of the fituation of the deceased, and thofe which could only be supposed to proceed from a knowledge of the murder. The Jury retired for about an hour, and returned with a verdict, finding Richard Ludman and Eleanor Hughes GUILTY-Ann Rhodes and Mary Baker NOT GUILTY. Sentence of death was immediately pronounced on Ludman and Hughes, by the Recorder. 4. Mary Nott, Richard Ludman, and Eleanor Hughes were executed before Newgate. 6. This morning Henry Wefton for forgery, and John Roberts, alias Colin Reculift, alio for forgery, were executed purfuant to their fentence, oppofite the Debtors door, in the Old Bailey. Henry Welton was attended in the morning by three Reverend Divines, who conducted him to chapel, in order that he might receive the facrament with his fellow-fufferer, who particularly exprelled how happy he should be if Mr. Wefton would grant him that favour; if not (faid he), I hope neverthelefs we may meet in Heaven;" for it must be obferved that Wefton did not ufually go to chapel, not being there above three or four times during, his confinement, having been waited upon by fome clergyman or other in his own room. However, on the morning of his execution he attended, and communicated with the Rev. Gentlemen and his fellow convict; the facrament was administered by the Ordinary, who afterwards prayed with the unhappy pri foners on the fcaffold, attended by one of the Divines alone. Upon the executioner's putting on the cap, he pulled it as far as he potlibly could himself over his face, and at the fame time held a white handkerchief to his mouth; fo that, that, during prayers, the populace. could by no means fee his countenance, He wept abundantly just before he was turned off, and fqueezed his friend the Minister's hand, being no doubt at that time much agitated. The day before he died, he, and one of the clergymen, expreffed a wish that be might not be kept long at the place. of execution, and that Colin Reculift, the other malefactor, might be informed of it, hoping that he would be ready and willing to comply with the defire; but in this they were mistaken, for he, an old inmate of Newgate, was not at all afhamed of appearing in public; therefore, when he was informed of it, he replied, "What, is Wefton afraid of being feen? that is not my cafe. I am not only willing for the people to see me, but likewife to tell them to take warning by my untimely end; there. fore," fays he to the Ordinary, "let me have the ufual prayers;" to which he was anfwered, he had an undoubted right, and that his petition fhould certainly be granted.. the Earl of Eglintoune, latter of courfe, being now an English Peer.-Thofe marked * are the new Members, The Earl of Lauderdale immediately protefted against this return; and in his proteft alledged that he ought to have been returned, and that the returning officers ought not to have re ceived any votes for the Earl of Errol. 8. Was tried, in the Court of King's Bench, Guildhall, before Lord Kenyon and a fpecial Jury, an information filed by the Attorney General against D. I. Eaton, a book feller in Newgate-ftreet, for a libel in publishing a book, which defined the words "A King" to imply "cunning and craft, which would foon be in difrepute in this country:" " A Niggard" to mean, "a King who had defrauded his Subjects of nine millions of money.-Oh! Mr. Guelph, where do you expect to go when you die?" and that the Guillotine fhould be introduced into this country, as a more merciful mode of punishing Kings and Queens than by the axe, &c. However, on the morning, when he faw his fellow-fufferer, and returned Lim his fincere thanks for a guinea he had feat him towards his funeral (having no friends to bury him, nor any means but fuch as were furnished by Lord Kenyon concluded a most exfubfcription among the prifoners), hecellent charge to the Jury with obferv. feemed willing to oblige him; but the matter was more properly adjusted by two of the Divines, fo as apparently to make it agreeable to both the unhappy men. 7. Came on, at Holyrood - houfe, the election for the Sixteen Peers for Scotland, when the following were chofen: Marquis of Tweedale, Earl of Dalhoufie, Lord Somerville, Lord Torpichen, • Lord Napier. ing, that the King was entitled to the fame protection of the laws with other men; and they would confider whether any part of the King's conduct called for fuch obfervations as thofe which had been read to them from the book published by the defendant. His Lordship thought his Majesty, like the Judge of Ifrael (Samuel), might appeal to the Jury and fay, "Whofe ox have I taken Whofe afs have 1 taken? Whom have I defrauded? Whom have I op preffed?" The Jury, after 15 minutes confide❤ ration, returned a verdict-GUILTY. 9. A caufe was tried in the Court of King's Bench, Guildhall, between the Proprietors of a newspaper called the Telegraph, plaintiffs, and the Pro prietors of the Morning Poft, defendants It was proved, that in the month of February laft, the defendants had contrived to forward to the office of the Telegraph from Canterbury, a fpurious By this lift it appears, that half the French newspaper, containing a pre iste Peers are out: these are the Earl of Lauderdale, Earl of Selkirk, tended renewal of the armistice, and preliminaries of Peace between the Emperor and the French Republic.
