Lieutenant Corbett, arrived tNi'. morning from Egypt, bringing difpatches from Lord Keith, to the Secretary cf the Admiralty, dated Fcv.ircyanty Menhir Bay, April 1, 1801. Sir ' c I have great concern in ac quainting, that in a de Ipc rate at tack made upon our lines by the French army on the morning of the 2 ill nit. my gallant and ref peblable colleague, Gen. Sir Ralph Abercrombie, unfortu nately received a wound, of which he died on board this fhip on the 28th. It is unnecdTary to fay how much this calamity has been regretted by the army and by the fleet. Their Lord fhips will cbfcrve that the ene my were repulfed with very great lofs. I enclofe for their information, a copy of Sir Syd ney Smhh’s report of that luf tained by the detachment of feamen ferving under his orders, and have the pleafure of adding, that his own wound has not been , f) material as to deprive m‘e of his fervices.—The marines were not engaged, having been pre vioufly to the aftion, appointed to the duty of Aboukir Caflde, and its vicinity. <f I have the honor to be, &c. " KEITH.” PARIS, May 4. It is reported that a ferious mifunderftanding exifts between Lord Nelfon and Sir Hyde Par ker, the caufe of which is Laid to be this—Lord Nelfon having applied to the Danifh govern ment for a panport, to return home byway of Hamburgh, admiral Parker, on being in formed of it, ufecl his influence to prevent it. li is affected, that the armif tice which has been entered in to between Great Britain and Denmark, has given great difla tisfaefldon to the Danes; who have manifefted a hatred againil the Englifh, which difeovers it lelfonall occaflons.

Judge Carnes’s CHARGE to the Grand Jury, at IVarren Super'nr Court , June Tcnn 3 1801. i Gentleman of the Grand Jury , YOU have been ib repeatedly apprized of what was your ap propriate province as Grand Ju rors, that it would be needlefs for me to detail the offences of which by your oath you are bound to take notice. Suffice it to fay, that ail offences committed with in your county, again!! the com mon and Ratine law, every fpe cics of condudh in individuals of notorroufly evil example are fuch as call for your aniinadver fions. It might be fuppofed that tire adminiitration of jußice being io frequent and fo much in the vicinity or every man’s dwelling, would have a ftrong tendency to corredi vicious and licentious habits, but when we fee riots, aiTaults and difturban ces of the public peace and good order fo frequent under the im mediate eye of Grand Jurors, we are led to conclude that either the law is not fufficiently ener getic, or that thofe in whom the power is veiled are remifsin the exercife of their duty ; if the former, a lemflative interference becomes necelfary, if the latter, more circumfpeClion in Grand Jurors, and others in the com miffion of the peace, is evidently indifpenfible. I have under Rood with regret that broils, tumult and confußon arc very prevalent at jußicescourts that vicious men refort thofe places with a view of diflurbing the good order of the neighbour hood, and not imfrequently in fult the inagiftiates while in the difeharge of their duty, thefe are offences of the daring kind, it is an infult not only to the perfon of the juftice, but is an outrage committed upon the authority of the government and the majefty of the people ; confequenccs may flow T from fuch conduct: as to endanger the fafety of the Rate : it therefore behoves you as you value your own peace, happinefs and fecurity, to look and prelent for punifhment of fenders of this deferi prion, if any fuch fhould be found in your county. As your county is growing rapidly into agricultural conic - quence, it would be greatly to the intereß of yourfelves and fellow-citizens, that your public roads and bridges ihould be con tinually in good repair, and as you are from different parts of the county, it is prelum able that you have all the information ne ceflary to make judicious and proper preferments on this fub jeft. GEORGIA, Warren Countv. \VE, the Grand Inqueft for the body of the county aforefaid, do on our oaths prd'ent as a grievance, O ’ iR. The great and flagrant needed! and' remifsnefs of cur public <.alters In every me nr, in the fupprtfiion of'vffi. and immorality of' almoft ev-y fpecics, fuchas gambling, qua;- ruling, profane (wearing and turfing j Sabbath breaking, in as much as the laws ot ri • flute (although in their cxteiJ too deficient) are not put into efledl as fur they might extend for a check to thole \ices, to tin* lamentable depravity and corrup tion of the morals of the rifmp generation throughout our coun try. 2. We present as an objefh or ierious contemplation the Rate of our judiciary fyftcm, in point of the duty of county officers, viz. juftices, conflables, &c. in that there is not a rule laid down by law, fufficiently explicit for their conduct either to define their duties or limit their powers, or even in their judicial decifions to produce a uniformity of pro cedure, fo as to obtain an adini niflration of juflicc on the ba(h of general and permanent prin ciples. Alfo the inefficient Rate of our vagrant laws; in chat in fome inftances they are in too arbitrary and defpotic, and re pugnant to the principle of our government, in veiling officers with almofl inquifitohal powers for conviction, and yet no ade quate penalty or punifhment pointed out for the delinquent. 3. We prefent alfo as a griev ance the criminal code of the laws of our date ; many parts of which, though derived from our venerable anccftors, no age, no length of time can render juft and equitable : in as much thereby the great and leading principles of criminal law (in order to produce the bed effeft to civil ioclety) viz. u That piiiiifhments fhould be propor tioned to crimes, is thereby ai med entirely neglefted ; and the flighted and mod heinous offen ces are punifhed with the fame punifhments. We therefore fm cerely hope that our enfuingLe giflature will revife our criminal code, and enaCl fuch amendments as fhall be confident with the great principles of benevolence and intuitive judice. 4. And as being the firft Grand Inquefl aflembled in this county flnee the eiedlion of Mr. Jtfftrfon to the Prcfidcntial Chair, we cannot forbear to con gratulate our fellow citizens, “ That in the decifion of this warmly contefled election the loud deep-toned voice ot the fovereign peopL hath been duly attended to and refpeded; and the horrors of a civil warfare, or the fufpenfion of the powers of government averted, from this now happy people.” Feeling as we do, the value ot the bleffings of civil and po litical independence, bleffings purchafed and fecurcd to us by the well-tried valour of cur pa triots, we cannot but lament du ally adminidraticn fhould h ave purfued meafures in thereinotefl degree lioflile to that liberty, 0- inimical to that independence; and we arc inclined to view y■ - appointment of officers under the government of the States, of thofe who fought a gainft us, and ot \thofe who t tcroufly betrayed us to cur <• '
