No regular aceounts.have yet been received from the Armament, but intelligence was yesterday morn ing received at Dover, by a smuggling vessel, that the British troops took possession of the Island cf . Schouwen on Monday ; and that the ether Islands at the mouth of the Scheldt were expected to be also in their possession on the following day. The Island of Schouwen is the northernmost cf the three Islands at the mouth of the Scheldt. The Island of Cadsande is the southernmost, and Walcheren lies between them. The one reported to he in our possession is 15 English miles in length., and six in breadth. The principal town is Ziricsee. Though the wind has been westerly ever since the Expedition sailed, we may certainly expect regular accounts from the scene of action by to-morrow. Government are, however, in momentary expecta tion of receiving intelligence by the Telegraph as soon as the weather which has been cloudy and rainy all the morning, shall clear up.

The latter re mains on the right bank of the Tagns—the other part of the army occupying its former position on the left.

A petition to the Lord Chancellor by Lady A n „ gusta was heard in Lincoln's-Inn Halllaq. Saturday, on which it appeared that his Majesty and his Roy a l Highness having made a liberal annual provision f or Lady Augusta and her children, and it linv;ng beer, by agreement referred to Mr. Adam to arbitrate and award what sum remained due from his Royal ness to Lady Augusta,• Mr. Adam had in the of April 1808, awarded the sum of 41690, to be Lite and to be paid by his Royal Highness to Lady gusta on balance of the accounts referred, and Liv.re upon it appeared that Lady Augusta had by on her part, dismissed her Bill in Chancery. . That the award was made and the JeiC)9o rema:r o d due, was not denied, but his Royai Highness ob. jected to the prayer of the petition for payment of that sum, because the Bill was dismissed ; and the Lord Chancellor on that ground was pleased to dismiss th: petition. Lady Augusta must therefore apply fer reli e f to some other jurisdiction. On another application to the Lord Chancellor by their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Sussex, and 'Cambridge., his ,Lordship has been ple,tsed to order Lady Augusta's son, who is now sixteen years of age, to be removed from Harrow to Winchester School. EX-PARTE--.PURDY AND OTHERS. The petitioners held some bills of exchmge,drrr a by one DagnaU, and accepted by one who subs::. quently became bankrupt. The petitioners, at the time of taking the bills, took securities from D.lgnAll for the amount of the bills. Dagnall paid them after the bankruptcy, but the petitioners claimed liberty of proof in behalf of Dagnal, to whom the bankrupt u :is indebted on a balance of account. On the part of the assignees, it. was stated, that there was nu Lupe balance due to Dagnall ; but the latter having swi,:a to the contrary, the Chancellor ordered the proof tco be admitted. N. B. I'l e LORD CHANCELLOR, in the clurse of some observations upon a Welch commission, slid to Mr. Richards—" You must be huge ferAiers ia Wale ;, for I find that, over and above two guineas apiece to each of three Commissioners, instead of one gai. nea apiece, 31. 7s. 6d. was paid for tlleir d:nners.— This was a great deal, unless Si. more for ccaz::-hire had given them such a shake ai to cause au ca :Ca. ordinary appetite." Mr. Et MIA RDS---." The dinner, my Lord, was very cheap at 31. 7s. 6d. I have known a great de a nacre charged for CommiSsioners' dinners in Wales." We are desired to contradict the paragraph which appeared in our paper of the Ist inst. respecting the accident which we were informed took place in con sequence of the overturning of the Gloucester coach near Newport. The fact was, the linch-pin gave way and• the , coach fell upon a rail ; but we are happy to inform the ,public that none of the five outside pas sengers, nor of the passenger inside, received the slightest injury. CORN-EXCHANGE; MARI-LANA AUG. 4.—To day there are some fresh arrivals of Wheat, but short re maining supplies, and sales thereof support last prices —New Rye rather dearer—Fine Barley and Malt likewise, and each in short supply—Peas and Beans of the two kinds nearly at last currency—There are several arrivals of Foreign Oats, and some few from the North Country; those of first quality fetch a small advance—Sales of Flour also atthe la.teadvaitce; and fine American as our last. EXPARTE—SIR mr..LIAm nouGL,F, ANn The petitioners are bankers, and w.e're in F oi 6 es l i on of bills accepted by a Mr. Eustace, w hoh,u been t 7- .e partner of Mr. Atkinson, a bankrupt. Tn= partner. ship was dissolved in October last, and Mr. Atte:own alotF.• was to collect the debts due to the partne:shi? and to pay those due from it. A few days - before the dissolution, Eustace, without the knowLdge of At. kinson, accepted the bills in question which came into the hands of the petitictners, who represented mem. selves as I;otra fide::.riders. They claimed' to prove ender Atkinson's commission, but the Assignc,:!, thinking the transaction rather suspicious, refused to admit the proof without an order from the Chancel lor, allowing, however, that they had no particular reason to think that the petitioners, were not bc.:•,..fije holders. The CHANCELLOR directed the Assignees to examine how the bills laud come into the petitioners' hands, and if they found no reason to doubt that they were bona file holders, to admit, the proof. MAIDSTONE ASSIZES, AUGUST 2. CHAO; t. WYAT This was an attioxj of trespass against the Defendant, who justified a , Lord of the Manor of Minster, in the Isle of sii vr y, and chinned tire place in question as the waste of the Alaner, being part of the izea beach. Mr. Serjeant BEST, for the Plaintiff, stated, that the Defendant wa4 in the habit of carrying away the sea beach, in a degre:! to act in the sea upon the adjoining land of the Plaiotiff. He said there was a natural mound of shingle above high water mirk, which was J. protection against the incroacbments of the sec, and this the Defendant was continually carrying away, and if he cuall juaify the duia g it, the wuole land of the plaintiff would ultisi inately be watl:ed into the sea. He admitted the Defendant ras Lord ot . the Vtaior, and as such Lord he was ready to allow hint the full royalty of the sea share; but, in law that was only to where an ordinary high water-math was; whereas he simuld prove that the Defendant hat: continually taken above that rrlrk, and indeed from places which, within a few years, was the her of the Plaintiff's salt marshes. 'witness :3 were called, who proved the taking of the gravel, and that the sea bad made incroachm- is so much of Ist, years, that what was formerly pasture w.ts :.ow covered by the sea and shingle, but , it was by the operation of ti.e sea, and not is consequence of removing the gravel. Mr. Serkant StiEPlltkb, for the Defendant, said, that he should shew, fromtime as long back as living witnesses could carry it, that the Lords of this Manor hal always taken th_ stories of the beach wherevtr they found them, without any distinc:ion as to the high water-mark; 'hat all ether persons who had taken them paid tLe Lord's Bailiff an ackaowledg:nent, whether they . wele taken for ballast ur for repairing the highwa7s. The question, he observed, was as extremely important one to t';e Defendant, who was the patentee of Parker's hui:ding centers:, the stones for the making of which were gathered from this spo: ; and it was not until these stones became an object of value that the present plaintiff ever thought of d•sturbing the right of tar Lord, or setting up any claim of his own. This brach also pro• duced copperas and sulphur stones, which were for a long number of years supposed to be the only stones of value on the beach; and as to them, he should produce a series of old leases from the time of Charles the Second, by which the Lords leased to several persons those stones found on all parts of the beach. When he bad provt..l this undisturbed possession on the part of the Lord, he thought it would entitle him to the verdict of the Jury. Stephen RGui, who had been Baliff of the Manor for fifty. seven years, proved that the lords had taken shingle and stones from all parts of the beach during the whole of this time. Several other witnesses were examined to the same.ficts. LorsfELLIENIBOROUGH observed, that it was proved the beach bad gone over and encroached on the pasturage of. the Plainuff. Now if the Lord had a right to the stones, it would not give him a right to the soil and fret-hold, which was the issue on the Recut.!, by ..which the Lerd clainied the place is par: of his freehold at , d waste. The latter's mark on shore was only that which lay be tween high and low water mark, and was alter - Lately wet ar.4 dry. Verdict for Plaintiff—Damages One Shilling. • THE KING V. MARTINS. This wag an indictment against the defendant, who was Over seer of the parish of Wiotham, in this county, for falsely charging the parish with sums of money in his accounts, with intent to cheat and defraud them. Mr. Serjcant BEST took several objections to the indictment, which were over-ruled, and the the Defendant was found Guilty ; but, as he had refunded all the money, t►e parish, by their Cew►' lel, stated, they did aot mewl to pray judgment against him•
