~: ~. THE : Xt246: t wineoft, Nov. 10.—The Members of the Queen's Council, vh) met here yesterday, were, the Arch bishop of CANTERBURY, the Duke of Morrnon, Lords AYLESFORD and WINCHiLSEA, and Sir WILLIAM GRANT. They did nos go over to the King's apart ments as they have sometimes done, but paid their respects to her Majesty, as usual, after having eza mined the Physicians. Drs. SIMMONS and MONRO were called before the Council, as well as the Ordinary Physicians. It is reported that the KING has not slept well at night in the course of last week, and that in other respects his MAJESTY has been rather more indisposed; but the weekly Bulletin issued this morning states his MAJESTY to be much the same as before. The following Bulletia was yesterday shown at St. James's Palace : " WINDSOR-CASTLE, liOV. 66 gis MAJEsTv continues nearly in the same state. " H. HALFORD. " W. HEBERDEN. "H. BAILLIE. " R. WILLIS." Rear-Admiral LAW:MARNE hoisted his flag on Mon. day on board the CURA4OA, at Portsmouth, Captain Towra, for Malta. Xheßyoususa frigate has been commissioned by Captain MnuNsxy ; by whom, when in the command of the BONNZ CITOTENNE sloop, she was most gal lantly captured. The Anon, 44, Captain WARREN, which took the Algerine Ambassador to Algiers, arrived at Malti to land the dollars for Government, in 23 days fro* Spithead. The frigates BPLLONA, ASTREA, and Irmrostrra,sa Portsmouth, (captured at the Isle of France,) haw been purchased into his Majesty's service. The late heavy gales have forced our ships on do' Trench coast to take shelter in Quiberon Bay. The following were lying there on Monday last, the 4th iitstant :—The Boyne, 98, Admiral Sir H. B. NEALE ; Gibraltar, Sceptre, Noithumberland, Surveillato, and Cadmus brill. A letter by the Acasta, from Quiberon Bay, states that the Commander, Officers, and all the crew oftbe Plumper French brig of v.Par, had been tried by.# Court-martial for cowardice, found guilty, and Ow Officers all ordered to be put on board the men of war, at L'Orierit, as foremast men, and the vessel paid off. The charge against them was, suffering tbemse;ves to be driven on shore, with an armed lug. ger and a schooner, by the Arrow schooner, then under the command of Lieutenant KNISHT. The &Hawing is a list of the French ships ti L'Orient, the Ist instant :—L'Eylau, 80 guns, ship, Marengo, Veteran, Hautpolt, and Guilleanane Tell, 74. guns each ; and Diligence, 20 guns. There are also two line-of-battle-ships :.nd two frigates build ing, and in a very forward state. Sir H. B. NLALE has written home for a reinforcement of small craft and other vessel, to prevent the constant trade be. tween Nantz and L'Orient. Great apprehensions are entertained £,r the sal aLa maw ship, transport, built at Milford, and wht was coming round to Plymouth with 13 otheivesia; nosier convoy of the Favourite. The test of the*.worhave all arrived ; but the tramport is aad parted in a very heavy gale. The Landrail, Admiralty schooner, arrived at Plymouth from Falmouth, experienced a most dread ful' storm of thunder, lightning, hail, and rain.—All the people on board her declare that they never met with anyping • e it for violence on the English toast. An Americ vessel run foul of the TOnnant on Thursday, and carried away her jib-boom and sprit sail-yard, &c. A letier has been received in town from an Officer en board his Majesty's brig, the FLY, Captain rim stm/4 giving an account of a dreadful storm to which she had been exposed, from the 25th to the 30th ult. while off the Ikaw. During the whole of this time the Brew had endured the severest hardships, and so overwhelining had been the violence of the tempest, as to hoist out several of the port-holes, carrying away the royal and top-gallant yards, sails and ail, together with part of the booms, all the hammock. cloths, &c. In this wretched state, with her bow sprit sprung, and having only one day's provisions and one ton of water leff, by throwing four of her guns over-hoard, she miraculously reached Peterhead.' Yet, even in this melancholy condition, she contrived to rescue from foundering a foreign vessel, totally disntasted, and in the most hopeless plight, by throw ing a deep set-lead with a hawser on board her, nei ther ship having a boat left, and thus succeisfully ti sowed her into port. The fol!owing is an Extract of a Letter from an Officer of the TANTA a relative to the loss of that ship : On Sunday, August 18, we were standing in for Kekke Bay, off Dagerott, in the Baltic, where we had settivecrall our supplies of fresh beef and vegetabteiii the.year. We had been out on a cruise off the Rus sian-coast, and had taken five prizes. All our fresh beef being out, we were going in fcrmore,having very ine weather, going in sounding from nine to ten fa thoms. At about a quarter before twelve all hands were turned up about ship ; as we then found we had suddenly shoaled, our water to six fathoms, and next cast to five, when we put her abouti nstantly, an das soon as the ship was round the other way, she struck lightly forward ; we boxed her off, and she struck again in the after-part, and went off immediately. 7 ?. On our I trading the well, we found the ship was in a sinking state, full of water. We thought it thp safest way to go to the Island cf Wormi. We g ct all our pumps to work, but f ,und ire could not get nut the water, as the leak was increasing. We an, chored off Worms, and got the ship all ready for un 2.,ggitig, We were sure she was a lost slip, as she made 20 feet of water in an hour. We were constantly pumping her for four successive days and nights. At last the people were overcome with fatigue and quitei exhauae.d ; we thought it therefore the best way, for the preservatit a of tike ship's company, to run her on shore, which ate did.. On the fifth morning we got! the ship ur,rigged, and all the people and stores 9a shore, on the small island belonging to the enemy 9a. the west-side of Dagentr, until the Courageut, Ca me and took ns ail on board, with the stotee *it c,..03 be savt.4l24, „1 N4P4fL INTP.LLIGML • F ALMOUTH, NOVEMBER S. Sailed his Majesty's ship MENELAUS, with Lord WILLIAM BEINTINCK on board, for Palermo : —Wind W. S. W. blows strong. , PLYMOUTH, NOVEMBER S. On Thursday evening the American schooner, Trojan, detained and sent in a fcw days ago by the Aural DE and ACASTA frigates, was driven among the rocks under Plymouth Howe, and completelywrecked, owing to the strong eddy-tide and violent squalls ; great part of her cargo, valued at £lO,OOO, and con &sting chiefly of indigo, has been lost. Arrived the FonruNEE frigate, Captain VANSITTART, from the coast of Ireland ; the American ship Golconda from Wilmington, with timber for this port ; and the Spa nish brig Nostra Senora da Bajogna, from Gijon, bound to London with a cargo of nuts—brings no news—put in here to wait for convoy. Sailed the NIMRon cutter for Basque Roads. Went out of har boar for the Sound the DRYAD and .kRETHUSA fri gates ; PINCHER gun brig, and BARBARA schooner. The ACASTA frigate came into Barnpool from the Sound to refit ; and the PHEASANT sloop went out of Cawsand Bay. The weather is now moderate and ,fine, with the wind at S.W. The MALTA,Of 80 guns, was commissioned this day ly Captain INGLEFIELD and part of tke crew of the VANISUARD were turned over to her ; the remainder were turned over to the BULWARK. The MALTA will not receive the flag of Admiral HALLOWELL till she gets out to tke Mediter ranean : he will previously take his departure in another vessel from Portsmouth. The Post PEE, of 60 guns, is coming round from Portsmoutk to this place; she leas made three attempts to sail, and been forced back each time. ~-~- - • . THE ARMY. Thursday evening the Officers of the Roscommon and King's County Militia gave a grand dinner at the London Inn, Plymouth, to upwards of 100 Officers , of the garrison---among whom were Generals ENG LAND, THOMAS, STEPHENS, BRIGHT, MERCER, The tables were graced with a profusion of every de licacy the season could afford. The 15th regiment is now forming a depot at Stir ling Castle fer raising a second battalion. Two hundred and fifty general service recruits have embarked for Lymington from Fort Cumberland : 250 of the 6th Foot embarked on Saturday for Jersey. About 600 prisoners are arrived at Portsmouth from the Mediterranean, and a number more are expected daily to arrive in his Majesty's ship Regulus. The Royal Highlanders have left East Bourne, to take up their winter quarters at Lewes and Brighton. They are succeeded by the Yorkshire Militia.. In the STAR of the 21 inst. we mentioned, on the authority cf a Morning Paper, that letters had been received at Plymouth, from Captain HAWKER of the Mv.tAstpus, stating that the ship had received damage on the coast of Nova Scotia. We have authority to state, that no letters have been received from Captain HAwrER subsequent to his sailing from Halifax to Nova Scotia ; and that the first-mentioned statement may therefore be considered as altogether erroneous. Letters from Paris to the 30th ult. have been recei ved, but they contain no news of importance. Bo- NAPARTI continued his tour, and no day was men tioned for his return to the capital. at A great variety of letters were on Sunday receiv ed from New York, and other parts of the lit , *ted States. The writers assert, that the attention f the Executive has, in consequence of recent events, been strongly called to the situation of the Navy, and that the subject would be submitted to the consideration of Congress, immediately on its meeting, with a re- cominendation to provide funds for the building of sevexal ships of the line and frigates. It is explained, that the increase of the Navy is without the slighest reference to the state of the pending negociaions be tween the two countries : but we apprehend, that in the present bankrupt state of American commerce,the difficulty of providing funds is nearly insurmountable. It is said to be in the contemplation of the Board of Trade to grant licences for the importation of corn, both from the Baltic and from Holland. A volunteer corps at the west end of the town lately had an inspection, at which 'hey mustered about fifty. In a few days after they had a dinner, at which they mustered upwards of 300. It has bee n therefore suggested, to have the inspection and the dinner on the same day in future, in order to secure a full mus ter for military service ! The Comet may be less distinct than it has been, but it is not yet invisible. On Saturday night, sundry worthy Liverymen, in their way from the City Feast, declared that they saw two comets ! The proportion offemale: in all mob: is an additional proof, if any were necessary, that curiosity is a passion of great fortitude. It is rather curious, in these punning times, that a dispute should have arisen about the propriety of ad ministering the Fix-glove to agate celebrated States man ! Thursday, two men were taken into custody at Sheerness, who were em ployed as convict keepers there, for assaulting the landlord of the George public-house, on Snikkett's Hill, Chatham, and who, it has since been reposed, died of his wounds ; four others are apprehended at Chatham, for being concerned with them. There is just now in the possession of Mr. W. Ligh ten, Dumfries, a pear, which is 13; inches in circum ference, and weighs 17i ounces. Enquiries into parochial expenditures are likely to take place, throughout the whole metrcpolis. Last week, as some workmen were pulling , down - - an old saw-mill, belonging to Mr. Osbounte, of Hull, - - DEAL, NOVEMBER it Put back the greater part of the outward-bound that sailed on Friday under convoy of his Majesty's ships ECRO, REGULUS, STROMBOLO, SKYLARK, and FOLK STON. Several of the running ships still keep at sea, and it is reported that many of them were captured on Friday night by the privateers. From eight till eleven, it blew a gale from the south. Several of the shipping drove, but I do not hear of any damage being done. His Majesty's ships are all well. YARMOUTH, NOVEMBER 10. Arrived the GLUCKSTADT sloop of war, having been separated from her convoy in a heavy gale, from the Baltic; and the PORTIA and HEARTY gun-brigs, from a cruize. Sailed the Rxoutvs, 44 guns, with prisoners to the Dor% ns ; the BRAVDEOKRIN gun brig, for Heligoland ; and the CALLIOPE, CRACKER, VIXEN, and Stamina, in search of the homeward brund Baltic ships. Remain in the Roids the Sole bat, Daphne, Castilion, Urgentand Acute gun brigs. Wind S. strong gales. • RAMSGATE, NOVEMBER •. • Yesterday afternoon arrived the Thalia West-India man, Capt. D. HARDY, (recaptured by the Folkston lugger) from Jamaica to London—she was taken a few days since off Dover, by a French privateer, with which she had an action, and had two of the crew and a passenger badly wounded, viz. the boatswain stabbed in the back, the carpenter has received a ball in the shoulder, and the passenger had his leg broke by the upsetting of a gun; these unfortunate men have been just brought on shore. The Thalia has lost her wizen-top -mast, with trifling other damage. The , Wind is now to the East, and if it continues, it is ex pected the whole fleet will sail this evening, es to -morrow's tide.

Mr. Sesirant BOIT said, there WAS another paint upon which he had leave to move in this case, in which he yesterday obtained a tule nisi for a n,.w trial, and which he had omitted to mention yeattr. day. The insurance was not only upon the good_.,- but upon £lO per cent. imAginary profit upon them. Lord ELLENBOROUGII —That would only be short interest, and would not go to a new trial. It might form a substantive motion hereafter. Such an insu rance was not illegal, unless any fraud could be *own. There was the real substratum of profit, the Mr. Serjeant BEST—It would be an encourage ment to fraud to allow of iusuraeces upon imaginary profits.

Suggest any case, in which such a VablAtitAl WAS held bad. 111INNETT V. BRUCE. Mr. TADDY moved for a Rule to shew cause why the verdict for the Plaintiff should not be set aside, and a new trial granted. It was an action upon a policy of insurance upon the Frow %Vilhelmina to the Baltic. The ship put into the port of Warnimunde, on the coast of Pomerania, where she t,ok on board It new set of papers, calling her,elf the Burwach, and 'changing her master's name. She was afters/ads captured by the Danes who condemned her upen the Express ground, of changing her names by erasines. Mr. Taddy, fur the defendant, contended, that the assured gave an implied warrantry, that the ship should be found in the course of her voyage properly documented. Lord ELLENBOROUGH—This was a personal mil versatil n on the part cf the Captain, and why is the owner of the goods to suffer ? Shew me a case in which the assured is made surety for the Captain's good behaviour. Mr. TADDY replied, that the point had never been argued. Lord Eoureaonouon.— And I hope it never will. There is really nothing in it. Mr-TADDY then there was another point, upon which he requested the same indulgence as had been given in the case of Ruder: v. Ainslie. The interest was averred in a resident at Lubeck, which, since the trial, hid been discovered to have been aanexed with the Hans Towns to France by an Order in Council, just before, on the 23d of June, 1811. Mr. Justice BAYLEY.-.-YOU must prove that the an nexation was made before the less.—Rule refused TOESON V. SWARM. Mr. PARK applied for a new trial in this cast., which was an action on a policy of insurance atGuild hall, before Lord ELLENBOROCOII, and a verdict had been found for the plaintiff. Mr. Park stated the circumstances of the case, which were as f How The vessel in question was insured at and from Ri ga, to any port or part in Great Britain, and was laden with hemp and linseed ; the first suffered loss from the peril of the sea, and after.eards, by capture, from the enemy. The ship, by stress of weather, had been obliged to put into Rostock, and on unloading her cargo to repair the ship, it.was discovered that the hemp was damaged. The Captain here sold the hemp, and took in a cargo of corn, with which he sailed for this country ; and here, the und, rwri. ters contended, their risk ended, and a new adven ture began. They had paid into Court A sum suffi cient to cover the loss sustained by the damaged hemp, and had nothing to do with the subsequent capture by the enemy. Lord ELLENDORoUGH...+64 It appeared that they took in the linseed again, and if they had stein to take the hemp on board again, it would have delay ed them six weeks longer than taking in the corn did, and the repairs were going on all the time.— There was no delay to vitiate the policy."—Rule refused. LEE V. LOPES, BART. Mr. HORNER moved for a rule to shew cause, why the verdict for the plaintiff for 4180. lls. Bd. should nos be entered for £520, by an increase of d 14.0, the proceeds of an execution taken subsequently to the bankruptcy of one Hill. who was indebted to one Edwards for goods and rent. Hill gave a warrant of attorney, to confess a judgment in Michaelmas term, 1810, and upon this execution was sued out. The writ was returnable January 23. 1811, and the sale of the effects took place on the 22d. On the 26th January a commistion of bankruptcy was awarded against Hill,.and the act of bankruptcy was com mitted on the 17th of October, 1810, as was primed at the trial : and the ground of recovering the pro. seeds of this rule against the defendant, the Sheriff of Devon, was, that he had taken as Hill's goods, what were in reality the Assignees'. The plaintiffs obtained a verdict for all except £l4O, which were claimed by Edwards, as landlord. It was held at the trial that the cotnmissi ,n was such an execution as came within the Act of the S Anne ; but Mr. Hor ner submi.ted, that both an action and an execution were similitudinary. He had leave by consent to move in this form.—Rule aid granted. ' THE KING V. THE INHABITANTS OF DEVON. Mr. GrpFottn moved to set aside the verdict for the Crown in this indictment for not building a bridge. The bridge had been erected thirty years ago over a branch of the river which separated Dorsetshire from Devonshire, and this river was wholly in Devonslmite -.let as t;:e bridge formed part of the 300 feet ex• crrscence of high-road from a larger bridge, wholly in Dorsetshire, and was therefore upon a high-road which the county of Dorset were to keep in repair, as an appurtenance to the larger bridge, it was Mr. Gif ford's duty, for the county of Devon to contend thn the county of corset ought to rebuild this IA von. shire bridge too, asap appurtenance to theDorse, shire otherwise the county ot Dorset would be relieved of the hurthen pf keeping so much high-road leading to their bridgi in repair, as they were bound to keep it by_thatincon law and by the statute. L. rd ELLtissonoucur could not consider this as any alitr than a bridge in Devonshire ; and while in its reptile state of a ford Of . 11 ig h-road, the county i.f Durst might be held to repair it; but the county f -Devon chose to have a bridge, and thtv rims t. therefore, put upon the adjoining county the reprices of their grandeur.
