London, March 6.
Libel.—A suit has been
brought in England by Wedder
burns Webster and wife, against
the propriertor of St James’s
Chronicle, for a libel imputing to
Mrs. W. a criminal intercourse
with the duke of Wellington.
The crime was insinuated to have
been committed at Brussels about
the time of the battle of Waterloo,
when certainly the duke was too
busy at Mouut St. Jean, to attack
any fortress at Brussels that re
quired a long .seige, The inno
v. “hey of the lady was amply vin
dicated, and the jury gave ver
dict against the printers, /20G0,
Mrs. VT. is about twenty-four
years of age, remarkable for deli
cacy of deportment as well as
personl accomplishments, & the
daughter of the earl of Mount
morris* The printers made no
defence ; but expressed contrition
for their error.
Had the publication been foun*
decl, it would have weakened Mr.
Phillip’s position in favor of the
ladies ol Ireland, as Mrs. Web
ster is a native of that country.

W HERE AS a most attrpdous
“* Murder was committed at
Mrs. Carters, in Edgefield Dis
trict, Scuth-Carolina, on the 28th
April last, by Daniel Land, who
without provocation or known
cause, deliberately and wickedly
with a rifle, shot a man named
Burges Day, while quietly skiing
in die piazza of the aforesaid Mrs.
Carter, and thereby almost in
stantly put an end to his ext stance
—and WHEREAS die said Da
niel Land, has since absconded*
and a number of the citizens of
Edgefield, desirous that so foul a
deed should meet the reward the
laws of the land direct, having
made up a subscription by which
the above sum is secured, and
will be paid to any person or per
sons who will apprehend the said
Daniel Land, and ledge him
|in Edgefield Jail, to take his trial
indue course of law.— I therefore
deem it proper to g ; ve public no
tice, that the subscription paper
for this purpose is lodged with
me, and that it will be delivered
to any person who will bring me
a receipt from the Jailor in Edge
field. for the said Daniel L and;
and it is believed also, that an ad
ditional reward will also be offer
ed by the Governor of South Car
olina for apprehending the same
person. He is about 22 or 23
years of age. 5 feet 8 or 9 inches
high—has dark hair, and dark
eyes, thin das k beard, a d<?vvn look
—when he stands his knees ap
pear to bend back more than com
mon-—-he has a small mole on one
side of his face near his mouth—
is of a middle statue, and suppo
sed to be of about 160 pounds
weight—he was born and raised
in South Carolina, about ten or
twelve miles from Augusta—-is
of a tolerable fair skin* The a
mount subscribed for his appre
hension is somewhat above the
reward offered and may have
some further sums added-—the
entire subscription will be given
to the person securing him.
