FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. L NDON. Jane zy. 1 RIAL OF J.iMRS HADFgL 'D. Yesterday came on in the Court of King's Bench. Weftmiiuler the trial of Janus Had field for High Trealon. The court and all passages near it were excessively crowded at a very early hour. At nl:<e o clock the four Judges oi the King's Bench arrived, , and the prisoner w s brought into court. He a peared to be calm and colleded, and was neatly drefled. Proclamation being then made by the officer of the court, the pannel of the names was cailed over, and the J lowing gentle men were sworn upon the Jury : Luke flood, E'q Foreman. Thomas Bildock, Matthew Oliver, Peter Adams, Thomas Windle, John Giant, Charles Rich, Webb Mallard, John Warren, Thomas Bingham, W. Bhckmore, and William Warfon, Efqu ires. Proclamation being made a second time for the witnefTes to give their attendance, the cleik of the crown read the indiftment, which charged James Hadfield. that he. being a natural horn fubjedt of ourbrdthe king, but being moved and seduced by the infligwtioiy of the devil, as a fijlfe traitor, _ tiotwithlUr.diu- the love and- obedience every faithful ftiljeft ought to pay to his m ijtfly.—on the 1 5 th of May, in the 40th year of his majr fly's reign, at the paiifh of St- Martin in the si Ids, malici ously, traitorously and wickedly imagining and com pa fling to put to death our lord the king ; anu to fulfil that wicked pur pole, he, the said James Hadfield, did procure and obtain a certain pistol. gqnpowdrr and lea den <Ws. with an intent t 1 llioo: at, kill, and assassinate our said lord the king. There were two other counts, char ing him wit.i going to the t eatre Ccretly armed, and with (hooting at the kin;'-, with intent to kill th- king, againfV his allegiance, Nigainft the form of the flatnte, and against the peace of the king, his crown, and dignity. "1 o this imliftment the prisoner had pleaded Not Guilty, atkl put himfelf upon the coun try, which country the jury were. Mr. Abbott opened the pleadings on the part of the profefcution. - i / General then rose, and addrefled the jury :—The prisoner, as they had heard was indifted for H:_;h Treason, a crime of the mniolt magnitude, and involv ing in its pfobsbje consequence every thing which was moil sacred in the infiitution cf civil (Cciety. Ihe overtafU charged in the lncnftment tvere all repeated against the per son of the king. He wa» firtt charged with' proc <riiig a pifl,.l, Ccc. He was next charg ed with.going lacretly armed to the play house ; and lastly, he was charged with firinga piflol againlt the person ofhismaje lly, all ol thriii v itli the fame intent, in-ne ly, that of killing the king. Upon this fubjea, of which' the jury had probably heard much in private conversation, it wis their duty to discharge every thing that they / had lo heard from their minds, and attend only to the evidence which they ftiuuld that day hear u ; .oo oath. It was-hit intention; it he could, to (fate correftly what that evi dence wonL be. He should endeavour to do it concisely and truly, for the purpose of giving them a corredl view of the whole fubjett ; apd of facilitating them in taking a view of the whole cafe, by concentring the i' veral parts under one diflintt point. 1 he cr.me charged was that ot imagining and contriving the of the king. The law made that ima ination and compafling criminal, if it were vpanifefled by any overl aps. Ihe law made firing at any person a crime of a capital nature. The evidence would prove bevosd a possibility of doubt the fafts, n:id he would produce them evi dence to shew the conduct of the prisoner both before and after he fired the pißol. He wbuld trace him from the time of getting i the piflol, nnd procuring the p-wder. He would trace him from two o'clock that day, when they would find that he procured two pifto's, but 1 ic one behind hiin for a.reaf n ! which they would hear from the witnefs fs. He would trace him from thence to the tin e of his going to the theatre ; he would fiiew the converfatlon w ich he held ref pedf ing his intention of going to the theatre, he wi.rild shew, that he concealed the arms, so that thfcfe near him did not think that he had any, until the moment he used them. At that moment he was thrown over the orcheltra and he should alfoproduce evidence to (hew his conduft at that pe iod. From circumflances that had patted he was led to fwppofe, that the answer of the cafe would be, that he was in the unfortunate fltua tioli of being ; /flitted with infan ty. It would therefore, become his duty to Hate to the jury what he considered to be the law of the cafe. He sppiehended that by the law of this country, tf a person was completely deranged in mind, so as not to know what were the consequences of his attioils, and in capable of discriminating between good and evil, that such a person could not commit any crime because the will was wanting, a certain portion of which was nccelTary to the eHence of every crime ; but grievous indeed would be the situation of every man in this country, if thafe who had labored under oc casional fits of insanity were to be excused any crime that they might commit. In the cafe of idiotry, of complete privation of rea son, the person flood excused, because he was not blrfled with the faculty of judging! between right and wrong ; of an infaut who had rot obtained reason fufficient to enable him to judge between right and wrong ; but when they were weighing the rc fult of an aft in the. court of criminal jurisprudence, I the jury would examine what degree of in-j tell sconce psiTops mtvniitting the acl | roli'fi.d a: tho tiise ol' doing it thus p;r- j ions ot weak under (bindings-have committed crimes, at d have b<—t> punithrd tor them brCAftifo tlirv had lufficient knowledge to Jftviw nature of the ad,, although t,heir uii-t i Handings were below the Ordinary ftandird. Thus again, in the cafe of * chiK., they did judge not from his years but from his capacity. If .he (hewed that he had knowledge fufiicieut to jojdfe of the na ture and con It queftces of tnefld, though not I a complete view of it, yet that had l Heen conCantly held ground fufficient to , find th<>fe e;uilty who were of V€ttv tender i j a g s He took the law to he the farre with i refpeft so insanity He took it that it had beeii si laid dnwn by perfors, for whom they who jtood there had been uftd to pav | the greateil jrereration Lord Chief Jus- I ticc Coke ii. his pleas vl the crown, fay , f " that a non co pos mentis could not commit'' j treaf i . but that it mud r.e an ahf lute ma ne& ' And L»rd hiefjuftice in commtnti.ig npcin this paflage, lays, " th t the true way of judging was ic the cafe of an infant ; and according M this i doftriae was the oecifioq in two memorable cases in the state trials " The firft io w r hicK ; he alluded was th«f cafe of Edward >rn<-ld, | who was indicted for shooting at lord Onf j low. 1 here was not a doubt but that the , man was deranged ; and as - ith to | lord O' flow hiitif If what was the opinion of th* court in that cafe ? That the prifon | r had a steady regular design, and took all [ proper mean* to accomp'ifh his objeft and hadtherefore diferetion enough to make him ari objett of puni(hmcnt. T e court, in summing up dated 'hatthf fa-'i was proved beyond d< übt ; but whet 1 er it was malici- ' ous. must be deduced from the nature of the insanity That if the prisoner was on- j der the visitation of God, and knew not what he did, r.e could not be guilty ; but ! that, on the other 1 and, it was not every particular insanity would serve for exenfe ; ! bur it mult be one hich deprives a man of . reason. and left him in a state • snot krow- I ing more than a brute or an infant the na- ' ture of the a£tion he committ d There fore the jury would deci e as to that faft. Sucn was the reafoni-gof Mr Juliice Tra cy on that cafe. That law had never been contradifted, but adopted in succeeding ca ses. \To be tnntin»«?. J June 27. V,B ■ ix caif 1 Diii fhcufti It is a bad way of fsrvi-g a good csufe to endeavour to dif-uifc those faults by which it has been loft. It is now as clear as the day, that the two French Generals perfetft ly fucceedcd in imposing upon the Auftrians in ref[ :& to heir military plans and the ilat* <f their armies. The fkilful manoe vres of Moreau a d Ihe audacity of Buon aparte on th* one fidei and the inconceiv able security of the Court oi Vienna, and its Gc erals on the othei, have produced the ifafterous result of the campaign. The fate of I aly is decided ; and Aullria is forced to a peace by the deftru&ioa of its army of Italy, the surrender of all the llrong places of Piedmont, and the defenfii e measures to which th* army of Suabia has been reduced. Every one attempts to ex p!a n th causes which produced the incom. prehenfible difallers of Italy. For this pur pose each has reiourfe to f\ftematic suppo sitions Wc now present thofc positive incontefta b'e iafts, which tliruw full light upon the simple and natural caufrsof those me,lit>cho- which we h*ve now to dt-Jjlore. Amongst the causes, some belong to the poli tical system of the Court of Vienna, and others are the confrqurtice of the chara&er of Me lit s. A he Court of Vlenna, as is well known, did not permit the re-cftabli(hment of any of the Sovereigns of Italy, and was confe q'ie«ntly obliged to disperse its garrisons over that v?ft extent of country, in oder to rt (train it. It had 3 ,000 men spread in vari us parts from Roufc to Ferrara, to command thi tefpeA of the inhabitants of ihe Papal teiritories, which it expeded to retain notwithstanding the wifoes lostdly proclaimed by the fnbjea* of the S vfr eign Pontiff. It it ha.l restored the peopla to their law ul rul' rs and had employed tliefe 30,000 men to defend tha entrances fine Alp and of Switer!and against the army of rc-ferve, and tl.fct nf Geneial Moncey, it is evident to the eyes of every mili ary man, that the C nfular troops could never have paflV the mounta ns, nor have cef. t ded through the valleys- , excuse is fct up so. it on acount of its ijr oranceof the (late of 'he army of reserve. But is a cabinet cxcuf..bie for being igno rant of that which all the public k ow which all the Gazettes publiflied ? And even in a d ,übtfu! cafe, fiiuuld it rot have taken the rood common precautions of dence ? Nothing, however, oft ha t kind was done, as far as we have fcen The enemy was already matter of P.acenza, when 1000 men from Parma came to reinforce th« gar rison, which confuted of more than 600 j men. The faults committed by General Melas are not less aftoni/hing. He had two parts tb take : Either to colled all his fcaftered divifionl. and concentrate them between the Tenaro and the Po, and wait for an opportunity of falling upon the Consular army, if it undertook any ficge ; or to march againfl: the enemy, with, ut giving him time for fortifying himfelf on the right fide of the Po, to secure his maga zines, and to re-eftablifli his communica tion with General Vukaflovich. The lat ter part was what he determined opi ; but why not march with all his forces ? Why confine himfelf to fending 4 or seoo men to re inforce Git i When we observe that the lat'er, with 20,000 men, kept the Victory ;,i balance during the wbole day with various luccefs; when we consider that he oniy yielded to numbers, and, after haviag been turned on his left, we surely may pie fume, that had Melas arrived .in person, and with all bis forces to the battle of Cafteggio, the l;fs of which prepired the disasters of M rengo, it would have been attended with a success very different from what it had We will not revert so the essential fault of Melas in losing fifteen days in vain parades upon the Var ; but confine ourfslvts to this simple cfnnfiderati >ft, which is clear, politivc, and obvious to every reader.

BY THIS DAY'S MAIL. BALTIMORE, Augtift 22 . BOARD OF HEALTH. UNINFLUENCED by any expeditions that may have been given'through any im proper or inaccurate publication in the pub lic prints—but conceiving it a duty we owe to our fellow-citizens, the board, after hav ing spared no pains to acquire a full know ledge of the (hte of the health of the city, especially of that part called Fell's Point, both by per final infpeftion, as well as by collecting all the information we couid db tain from the Phyficiaus and other inhabi tants on the fnid Point, are now enabled to lay before the public a candid statement of fa £is : Wefhvard of Jorre's falls, the city atpre fent is uncommonly healthy, notwithstand ing a few folifary cases of sudden deaths have lately happened therein. On Fell's Point, we find an inflammato ry bilious Fever now exists—it firft made its appearance along the water next the cove, In-tween the infpeftion honfe and the canfe wiy and prog,effing gradually up B >nd and - .eet-ilreet?! and thence spread in various diredtion; into other adjacent streets. We have rio hesitation in declaring it to be entirely owing to our own local foorces t of filth, vegetable anj animal putrefaction and m.irfh effluvia within and around that part of the city, particularly the foul (hore of the cove abovementioned, and not to any imported or human contagion. This being alio the unanimous opinion of the faculty in that part of the city, rtrongly points out that the means of prevention in future, under favor of Divine Providence, are in our own hands, and that a rigorous and energetic execution of the nuisance and health ordi nances mud, and we have 110 doubt, will take pla'ce. Vt e are happy in stating, that in our visit to Fell's Point yesterday, we found that ft nee the fall of rain on the 17th instant, there leems to he a suspension of the contagious influence of the atmosphere, the number of new cases having greatly dimimftifd, owing to the coolness o( the weather, and an un common high tide, with a fr< (h S. F.. wind which is washing and cleanfing-the said foul fh"re. Findi' g -t difficult to ascertain with ac curacy the number that have been taken | sick and that have >ied since the commence j ment of the disease, we can only fay that , the phyfiewns, one and all, informed us, that but a small number, comparatively fpcaking, o their patients have died. But being de sirous to d<al in fass and not in conjecture, we called upon all Jie praftifing physicians on the Point and obtained from them the afttial sumber of their patients at present, and among them the uumber of those which j in their opinions are dangerous. Ihe total number of sick being 11 j Supposed dangerous t 2 fliii compared with a daily return of the burials, which we fliall cemtinue to pnblifli from this day forward, signed by the feore tary, will enable our fellow citizens to judge for themselves ; as it is the mortality of a disease that ought to designate its malignant nature, and not the number of the diseased. As occasion may require we shall give fur ther information of its operation ; and we earnestly recommend to #ll concerned, cauti e>ifly to avoid all exciting causes, among which are, imtemperarxe in drink and diet, catching c<<ld from thin cloathing, night air or rain, and violent exercise or labor under a hoc fun. Thus, fellow citizens, you have now be fore you an undisguised view of the real fta:e of the prefctu dif.-afe—whether we are cen fuied by some for being too candid, »r by others for notufing a more terrific name in describing it, is with us no consideration. Placed as we are, as guardians to watcb over the health of the city, the faithful difeharge of our duty alone has governed us, and we trust always will. John Slump, Adam Fonerden, | Comra'rs.
