The Pacha of Achra, furnamed Gezzar or the ,
Ravenous, to defignatehis ferocious ch <ra£Ur r has |
raifrd the ftandaid of rebellion in Asia, because he |
had been di%>!aced by the Grand Signior, who juil ,
ly felt indignant at the cruelties committed by that ,
raonller in the government under his orders.
The Pacha having fortified Acra, has put him
felf at the head of a band of bvigantfc, and took '
the towns of Kaffa and Rama, which form part of
the government of Damask ; he fpteads devastation j
and death in those unfortunate countries. I
Thirty years ago, this individual was Bey (Go
vernor of a town or province in Egypt) of Cairo ; j
lie stirred up a rebellion agairA the famous Aly (
Bey, then Governor of Egypt, and put him in ,
pnfon ; but being fubdutd by the other Beys he ,
fled to Damask, where - he afterwards kept a coffee- ]
hou'fe. The Pacha of Damask, who knew his mi- ,
litary talents, employed him during the war against ,
.the Ruffians, and charged him to fortify and defend ]
the port of Bayruiti; he built a fortrefs, and it ,
wis here that he got.the surname Geezar, or the
Ravenous, because he had ordered a great number
of people to be buried in the foffe of the fort.
When peace was restored, the Turkilh Admiral,
whohadbeen'-a'JiJaKnted with hitp in Egypt, gave
a very favorable account of his operations at Bay
ruiti, and had him appointed Governor of Acra
and Pacha of Sidon and Tyrus. '
The English General, Cook, has received orders
from the Grand Signior, to leave the territory of

Court of King's Bench, June 16.
GAMING. - ;
BADIOLI V. OLDNO.
This was an adtion for money had and received '
for the plaintiff's nfe.
Mr- Gairow stated his client, Mr. Badioli, to 1
be a vety refpedable man, who lud lived many '
years in this town, and had by his indus
try, a handsome fortune.
The defendant kept a gaming-house, at No. 29, 1
Qiendon- BKeti '
He was certain the jury and every body would
■agree with him as to the importance of thisadtion.
The plaintiff had in his hoafe, and'educated under '
his care and protc&ion a gtandfon, not yetairived 1
at age, who, after he had finifhed his education,
was taken into htilinefs by Mr. Badioli, and was '
afterwards to be furmfhed with the means of living '
by his own industry.—This young man had the '
misfortune to he enticed into qne qf those nume
rous gambling-hoßfes, which form the pest and de
ftrudiion of the young men of the times in which
wcJive. He there loft a great deal of his grand
facer's money, and of eourfe could not come out
without those arts which undermined every thing
that was valuable in the human mind. He loft at
this house £. 161 14, ti>e,fum for which this action
was brought. If he matle out by fair legal evi
dence that that sum of money bad been loft at the
defendant's gaming table, juftiee, common sense,
and law said the plaintiff was entitled to recover it
back again. ThetfTeif of a few verdi&s against
such men, would be extremely beneficial to the pub
lic, inasmuch as it would make the keeping of
gambling houses an unprofitable trade, and there
" tore they woufiJTFiuTtheir tfo'GTJ agalnff 7 yoiing men,
and betake themselves to something better.
The learned couafel hoped the jury, by their
verdifl, would convince fu.:h defendants, at least
that they were not fuperiorto the laws, and make
them feel that the keeping of such houses was a
losing trade!
M. Wilson was here called on the part of the
plaintiff, and said, he was the grandson of Mr.
Badioli, aod lived as servant with him, in the month
of June, 1795. He loft to Mr. Oldno, the de
fendant, the fem of 1611. 14s at No. 29, Oxen
don-ftreet. He loft it playing at Rouge et Noir.
The defendant was there, and, after the game was
over, put the money of the bank, as well as the
money he had won, into a bag. During play,
when any thing was wrong, the defendant dire&ed
the table. There were a great many other people
here. He always law Oldno there. He saw him
there after he had loft his grandfather's money.
On his eiofs examination, he said, his grandfa
ther was an oilman, and he was his servant, and
adled in his shop. He never rendered his grand
father an account, because he kept no till. He
robbtd him of 5001. between the month of June
and the month of September following.—Among
other things, he discounted two notes, the one for
• 001. and the other for 801. which he took out of
a book belonging to hii grandfather.
Mr. Erflciae was Counsel for the defendant, and
said, he was certain, hii L or dfh'P an d the gentle
men of the jury would join in giving him full credit
for the sincerity of those observations he had made
on that important fubjeft, when engaged for plain
tiffs. then feel any difpofitioni inter
est, or duty to contradict any one of those observa
tions. That the exigence of gaming houses wa's
the pest and definition of the rising generation, of
the young men of this age ; and that they were exl
- dangerous to the community of which we
were all members, he had no inclination to dispute.
But he knew his Lordship too well; and he had no
dOubt that, before the fittings were over, he should
likewise know the jury too well, to suppose their
laudable attempts to prevent the deftruflion of the
community by gambling, would at all alter the or
dinary administration of juftiee, or the rules of evi
dence as applicable to that administration. Be
cause there were gaming houses in this town, which
deserve to be reprobated, did it therefore follow,
that, oti flight evidence, any one fubjeft of the com
munity was to be pitched upon by such a witness
as they had heard, and to have taken out of his i
pocket so large a sum of money, on the single oath
of such a man ? If that witness had been a young 1
man of irreproachable life, conversation aid charac
ter, the cafe would be extremely different. But, '
on his own testimony, he had 110 morality at all,
and had violated every rule of affe&ion, most un-'
doubtedly, which nature had implanted in him.
He took his grandfather's money and applied it (o ;
his own use. He therefore flood in the most suspi
cious He now wished to get back part
of that large sum of money of which he had robbed 1
his grandfather, and a great part of whidTht bad 1
expended on other p'eafures, at brothcis, &c. It
was therefore extremely dangerous to rely on the
evidence of such a man, unfupporKd by any other
testimony.
Two witnesses were called on the part or the
defendant, who gave their evidence in fuelr a man
ner, that
Lord Kenyon told the he thought they i
ought to pay no credit to it. His Lordship was i
certain they would find a great deal of pleasure, as '
far as the administration of juftiie could do it, to i
chcck this growing and monstrous evil.
Verdict for plaintiff—loll. 14s.

BURDON V. CARTWRIGHT. (
This was an action for damages agaii)il the de
fendant, for criminal converfatian with the plaintiff s
wife. The declaration Contained also a count for ,
seducing the plaintiff's wife away from her husband,
and harbouring her, &c.
The firft witness proved, that the plaintiff and
his wife lived happily together, and had three chil
dren.
It appeared afterwards in evidence, that the de
fendant had been married to the plaintiff's sister, but
(he was dead.
Some time «go the plaintiff's wife quitted her
husband, and went to live with the defendant, 1
palling as the defendant's lifter, who had come
from the country, 300 miles off. Ihe defendant j
invited a gentleman and his lady, Mr. Apd Mrs.
Fletcher, to dine with hirr> ani the plainTTtt's wife,
Whom he called his sister—While they were at din-
ner, the plaint iff came in and addressed his wife,
aflcing where she had been, and wheig her ring was ?
(lie pulled it out of h«r pocket. He invited her to j
return home with him. The defendant said to
her, " Mary, if you have any thing to fay to this |
man, go into another room, and do not dillutb my J
company."
The plaintiff and his wife then went away toge- 1
ther, and she ftais with her husband about a fort
night, but then returned to the defendant ; imme
diately afterwards This action wasTitougfttr mere 1
was no evidence whatever of any Adultejy. f
Mr. Erfkine made a very able and eloquent speech <
for the defendant. He produced a letter which \
the plaintiff wrote to the'defendant after his wife t
went home with him, thanking him for the care he I
had taken of his wife. He then produced anothpr f
letter, and propofsd to read it in evidence ;it was a 1
letter from the plaintiff's wife to the defendant, <
whereby she complained of her hufbandV treat- |
ment towards her ; but Lord Kenyon decided, j
that it could not be read in evidence, for that the <
wife could not, in any manner, be evidence in this i
action. One witness proved, that the wife had, 1
for several year 6, complained of the ill-treatment of i
her husband. I
Lord Kenyon observed to the Jury, that this was 1
a blended action ; that of adultery and feduftion—
of the adultery there was no evidence, and there
fore they would dismiss that part of the cafe ; but 1
of the feduftion there was abundant proof, and that
was as much an attack on the plaintiff's comfort and 1
peace of mind, as adultery could be. If the wife j
had any rsafon for quitting her husband, she should
have gone to her mother. The defendant had no 1

NAPLES,, May 4.
In spite of the horrible inquifi'ion eflablifhed" by !
the Minister, and the numberlcfs arrests that have
taken place, people still talk here of the disasters of 1
the array of the coalition, and murmur at the ob- 1
ftinacy of the Government. The refufal of the me> 1
diation of Spain, and all the misfortunes of the
State, are attributed to the Queen, who has always
facrificed the interest of Naples to the views of 1
i her family, and the fame remarks are made upon 1
her conduct as those of the people of Paris on her
nnfortunate lifter. Preparations of war are still 1
going on, but the fermentation encreafes. The
troops in Naples far from being fufficient to op- 1
pose the French, will scarcely be able to maintain 1
order and tranquility. Among the persons arrest- 1
ed are almost all the men of letters, and a crowd of
monks and eccleliaftics. The Abbe Vechietti is 1
dead in prison, after having drank a bow! of chdco- :
late, in which it is fufpefted that poison had been 1
infufed. It is not known whether a number of state I
pnfoners of diftinftion and rank, who were perse
cuted are still alive. The numbers arrested in Na. 1
plesand Sicily are eftimatedat 14,000. Ifthe Go
vernment be compelled to enlarge all whom it has 1
prolrcibed, a revolution is inevitable. ,
TYROL, M<y 25. I
Different proclamations have appeared within
these few days, announcing .the energv with which 1
the Government is adopting the proper measures I
for securing this country from invasion. One of i
these proclamations, dated Infpruek, the 21ft of ,
May, begins in the following manner: t
"We mull unite all our efforts to saw; the count
try. It is essentially ne,effary to the maintenance t
of religion, the conftitmion, the property, and e
very thing that is most dear. We have an entire
confidence in the tried courage of the Tyrolefe na
tion, which conjointly with the Imperial troops who v
are this moment entering the county, are in a con- i
dition to check the enemy if they should attempt
an invasion. But to this end provisions and money
are neceflary ; the former cannot be procured with
out a fufSciency of the latter.' 1 t
Hie Proelamation then goes on to recommend t
the instant converting of the church plate into mo- <
ney. Private persons are also invited to fend their f
plate to the mint, and their arms. u j
A second Proclamation was iffiied on the 22d ess
tabliftiisg the ma.nner of transmuting the church and \
private plate, and the nature of the obligations to <
be delivered for them.

The alarm difTeminated by rhe approach of the
French, is deeply felt in every state of Italy. The
y little rejjjjblic of Lucca expr-effed its inclination to
e rife in tßlfs; but the peasants, who, in this affair
>f at least, were wiser than their Lords, refilled the
>- design, (fating, that they were confident they should
:> be fafe at any time by delivering a few pidfures
e from the collections of the wealthy.
s The Venetians were assembled in what is termed
>f the Pregadi upon the fame bufint-fs. The fittings
n lailed three days. The object was to determine
•r whether they (hould arm to make their neutrality
II refpefted.
e The young Senators, probably allured by the in
>- flucnce of appointment or the glitter of arms, re
n commended an armed force vith (frenuous and ar
dent eloquence"
if But the elder and wiser Senators overruled them
is in the debate; and produced a decree, importing,
1- that they would arm only fufficiently to preserve in
n ternal tranquility, feeing that, to oppose, in the
e States of the Republic, the progrels of cither the
Frenek or Austrian armies, required more troops
1- than they were able to raise. .-
