I am, Sir, &c. a 111 ITON, " On the lath of December, being off Havre-de- Grace, we were ordered by Capt. Omen, of his Majefty's Chip Mar-romans, to proceed to the Welt ward in fearch of his Majefty's (hip Summon.. At eleven A. M. on the 16th, being off La Hogue, we difeovered her on (bore on the North point of that harbour, about half a mile from Tatihow within pittol.lhot of the beach, and under the guns of three firong batteries; on Rending in bore to re connoitre her, we found was in poffeffion of the enemy, and that they were bufily employed in re moving her flores, and preparing to heave her off. " Captain BUNTON immedietely determined on attempting to deftroy,her ; for this purport we an chored at five P. M. In La Hogue Roads, and Cent the cutter and the launch, under the command of Lieutenants Sweat:an and THOMPSON, and ltofidfliip. fhipmea VAN NNN N T fen. and THOMPSON, with prepared combuftibles, to let her on fire. . A ftrong tide letting to the %award, it was near twelve be fore the boats were able to get in &ore ; on .their approach to the Summon, the alarm fignals were difpliyed on all the batteries, and were repeated by a numerals body of troops that lined the beach to prate& her. On the boats pulling up under her fern, they were hailed by the troops: however, they pulled alongfide with the greatea coolnefs, boarded, and fet fire to her in three different places : the moment the flames were perceived on More, a mot tremendous fire was opened on her from all the batteries, and whole vollies of mulketry were poured in on her decks by the troops on the beach. By this time our people (having fit her completely in flames) had taken to their boats, and bid the fatisfation to fee, Au the (hot which was meant for their &Oration, inftead of annoying them, was ailing them in the deftru&ion of the (h ip, as the batteries , conceiving our peple were on board, were cutting her to pieces with their ( hot. At two A. M. the boats returned, ' and 1 leave you to conceive the pleafure we felt on finding they had not a man hart in executing this daring enterprise."

The recall of Mr. Limo stmt. the American Ml sifter at Paris, was occafioned by a perfonal infirmit of that Gentleman. He is, unfortunately, very deaf ; and when he appeared at the FiasT Consul:: Levee, was under the neceifity of employing an Interpreter; fo that no fecret bufinefs whatever could be traded ed on public days. A defperate battle was fought in a field near Pad dington, on Tuefday, between a coachman. named Rumanfon, and a labouring man of the name of Donaldfon ; wlfen, after an obftinate coma of fifty minutes, in which more zeal than dexterity was dif played, the coachman was carried off the ground, having received a fevere beating. One morning laft week, the following curious eir cumftance took plate at Manchefter : A tradefman fufpe&ing a criminal correfpnndence betwixt his wife and a certain journeyman with a wooden leg, who wrought next door, went early that morning to the journeyman's room, and having furprized them toge ther, deliberately carried away his wife's clothes and the journeyman's wooden leg. leaving the lovers to hop off at their leifure—the one waled, the other with. out a leg Late on Tuefday evening. as feveral poor boys be. longing to Highgate, were - fliding on a large and deep pond oppofite the Gatehoufe, the ice fuddenly gave way in the centre. and two of the children were un happily buried under it. As loon as the alarm was given, and lights could be procured, an of flant to an academy, oppofite the pond, with aftonifhing in. trepidity plunged in to refcue the children ; one boy WAS providentially laved, and the above mentioned gentleman, after a long and perilous feareh under the we, ficeeeded in bringing tip the body of the other, though unfortunately too late for the purpofes of re. fufeitation. THE HANGMAN Ot/TWITTID. — A man CONtieled at the laft Surrey Mires, for ftealing pewter pots, was fentenced to be publicly whipped from the prifon gate in Horfemonger.lane, through the Borough, and back again. Having no money to fee the hangman to fuften the lath of Mice, he at IA hit upon an ex- pedient. In the prifon there were feveral half (Flamm gin meafures, the tops of which he broke off, and depofited in a leather pocket he had previ. Gull! cut from his breeches. tied it up, and when the executioner came to condi:el him to receive his pu nifhmenr, the culprit, in his way to the cart's tail, flipped the pretended pude into his hand, exclaiming —" there are nine half crowns, 'tie all I have in the world, pray be merciful." The hangm.in took the bribe with a (mile, and bade him keep up his fi •rits, for he Ihould not be hurt. The cart then proceeded, and the courequence was, that the deep one returned very little the work for the flagellation. Upon being delivered into the hands of the prifon.keeper, he burft int. , a loud laugh, and when afkeJ what made him ft, merry ? he related the manner in which he had bribed his chalkier, adding, that it would ever be a fuhjell of mirth, when be refiettlei how he bad outwitted the hangman. rNTzurcnrci.

WHMIHALL, MIK 9. Before the holoß Noble and Right Hon. the Lords Connniffiosiers of Appeals in Prize Cara'. Holger Dander. Sink maller.—(An Appeal from the Cape of Good Hope. ).--This Ship, laden with a cargo of coffee. fogar, indigo, cotton yarn, fpices, snack, and other at ticks, on her return voyage from Batavia to Copenhagen. was, on the 28th of ptens her, 1799 ? taken and feized by the private Stip of war Harriet, William White Commander, and ear? ried to the Cape of Good Hope, and was proceeded againa as prize in the Vice Admiralty Court in that colony. It appeared that the Ihip was named by content of the captors, referring the quellicia as to freight ant ezpences ; that on the 28th of September, 113ot. the caufe came on for hearing before tbri•Judge of the.Vice-Admiralty Court, who condemned the cargo as lawfoi prize to the captor, and on the fame day pronounced that treisht and expences were due to the owners of the (hip, and direded that fuch freight and expeoces be made a charge upon the cargo. From which decrees, it further appeared, the claimant and captor had feverally appeared, the claimant from that part of the decree condemning the cargo, and the captor from the Judge pronounc ing freight and expeaces to be due to the owners of the Stip. Their Lordflrips, after hearing_ the Collard on both fides, armed the fenteoce of the Judge below in refpea to the cargo, but reverted the fentence as to freight and ezpences, and pronounced that freight and expeoces were not due to the neutral maier. COURT OF COMMON FLEAS, FEL S. CIATIPING O. MYSILS. The plaintiff in this cafe, a timber merchant, hay ing fold the defendant a quantity of wood. received three notes at different dates for the payment of col. they were all written by the defendant, with his own ink, and accepted by him. Shortly after they bad been in the plaintiff's polar* they were obferved to their appearance. the letters on one for 251. near y difappeared about the time it became due, and it was difinvered that the ink with which they had been written was a chemical preparation, that after a time left the paper without any traces of writing. The two others were in a fimilar Rate. The bills of parcels were produced by the Plaintiff's clerk, and proved the delivery of goods to the amount of the note for 251. Lord At. AAAAAA obferved, that 0-- manner in which the notes had been given appeared as fraudu lent a tranfailion as ever he had witneffed. His Lordthip fail, it was a kind of fraud he bad never before met with, it was of ferious confequence to the trading part of the community. The notes being of ' different dates, te only one du was that for 21: for which the pre h fect tation was brought. Verd ia for the plaintiff. g.—HAP. AN o. WALTIRS. This very important cafe this day received the de cifion of the Court. The Plaintiff, Captain Newman, was a paffenger on board the (hip Betfey, bound to the WeR Indies in the month of April. 18os ; and, as we have al ready Rated, by his exertions brought her into port, when deferted by the Captain. The cafe having come to be tried before Lord A and a Special Jury of Merchants, at Guildhall, in the fit tings after lea term, the Jury found, that after the had been deferted by the Captain, the Plaintiff had, at the requefi of the paffengers and crew, taken on himfelf the management of the retie' ; and that by his (kill, indufiry, and exertions. the had been con veyed fate into Ramfgate ; and, on this finding, gave a verdi& for the Plaintiff, 4001. damages. Mr. Serjeant Co.:KELL having on a former day ap. plied for a rule to thew caufe, why a nonfuit Otould not be entered in this cafe, the Plaintiff having done no more than was incumbent on him as a paffenger On board the relief, which he was bound both from motives of humanity and from regard to his perfunal fafety, to do every thing in his power to prefctve. Mr. Serjeant Sic [PH SSD (hewed cattle againd this Rule. He apprehended that the finding of the Jon., on which their verdict proceeded, atiorded a (nth cient anfwer to any argument which had hem or could be adduced on the other hide. This was not a mere qut Rion of falvage, but a claim for a cnmpen. lotion for uncommon fervices. The natural call on every perfon who might happen to be a paffenger on board a drip, to give every affillance to the Captain and new in prefer ving the vedcl, could nut be denied. The prcfent, however, was not a cafe of that kind; here the Plaintiff had perfotmecl no comrurti or or. dinary fervice ; he had not in this cafe been called on. as a common palTengcr, to lend his &Mance in pumping or hauling a rope. He had not merely affilled the Captain with his advice in managing the weird, but, after the Captain had abandin.ed his charge, under the belief that the (hip would irrme diacely go to piece. ; at a period of extreme danger. when the pilot was incapable of performing hi. duty, the Plaintiff, at the tequel of the pagfengers and wrest, departed from hi. private ILltiOtl on board the [Lip, and r kon him the ntuaticn and tallaoufibilizy • of its commander.

He particularly addsced the cak of the Ship Two Friends, captured by the French ; thiCas lain and crew, *flirted by a pafenger of the steam eje• Miller, having rifen on the captors. and retake:B.llllv veal, Miller brought an action for falvage, Ba d s covered. He quoted alfo the cafe of the Chip In both the claim and falvage was funained. on the ground that the claimants greatly exceeded what was incumbent on them in the difcharge of their * duty. I'hefe cafes, the Learned Serjeant contended, were clearly in point. The diffineinn between a refcue, which was the cafe in the inflance to which he had alluded, and preferring what, had bees given . over as loft, which was the cafe now before the Court, he was at a 14. to fisure. The Captain of . the Beaver had recovered his veffel after it bad be come the property of the French ; the Plaintiff by his kill and CACTtitall had fared the Beaty. after it had been abandoned by its Captainotad beta Awned .• the property of the devouring waves. Mr. Serjeant HAYWOOD followed on the fame fide. Mr. Serjeant COCIALL, Mr. SerinDY BAILLII :ad' Mr. Serjeant Best all (poke in reply. The cafes inflanced by Mr. Serjeant Snaresas, they maintain ed, did not apply. In the cafe of Miller, be was found entitled to falvage equally with the Ca tail. Now, here. the Captain could have been entitled to no fairest. In the other cafe, of the Captain of that Beaver, the craw who Ailed him. ware alto found- entitled to falvage, yet it was not contended that in the preterit cafe the crew had any claim, although it was obvious that unlefs they had executed the Plaintiff's orders. the veffel couldnot have bees fa te d. The argument of Mr. Serjeant fiAYWIOD WADAiI W. length even of Laying, that the crew were here es: tided to falvage. How dangerous furl a doeifses mull be it was nnneceffsry to (tate. The Lygillatme was fo well aware of it, that it had declared any vie wer& or petunia entered into by the Captain with the Seamen, during a norm, void and of no rift& It• by no means found that where a petrol., in endea vouring to effeeaate his own fafety. kep t by the flip, and the came into port. that he Should ID that event be entitled to falvage for the Chip. As to the idea • that. the Plaintiff might have effeenated his fafety by taking himfelf to the long boat. that they aimed, and maintained that the crew would not have been entitled to allow him to carry it away. The Plaintiff in this cafe had merely exerted himfclf for his own fafety. If. in doing Si,, he benefited soother. be was not entitled to any remunerauou or mangiest* so . that account. The Court were clearly of opinion that is this is. fiance, a very important and meritorious Service had` been performed by the Plaintiff. lie had gone be yond the duty incumbent on him, and had incurred a refponfibility 'for which. had he seed emirs, he might have been called on to anflrer. Oa vids_ ground, he was undoubtedly entitled to a remunera tion for his cervices—Cervices to which the preferva tion of the tbip could alone be attributed.—Rule Difeharged. COURT OF /ONO'S BENCH, FED 7. CRIDISM•L INFOILDIATION• Mr. Mannar moved for a Criminal Information againft John Benham, Overfeer of the Parith of New. ton, in Berkfhire, for refuting relief to a pauper. It appeared from the afidavirs, that an out Reamer of Chelfea Halpin!, named Gorman, and travelling wing his pals, fell tick in the peril's of Newton, with a pleurify in his fide while be lay upon the gronnd, writhing an great agony, the Overfeer was fent for, who, on his arrival, demanded of the tick (oldies if he had got a pats ? The foldier produced his pars. and entreated a place to red in, Paying. he was un able to travel further. The Overfeer replied, that he did not care what became of him, and, whether ill or well, he mutt ger on to the next town, New bury ; that he would not relieve him. as he never re lieved any one. With there obfervations be left him, fill giving him a penny, remarking. that he never (hould get paid again. The poor feldier es. erted the remainder of his arength, and in four boors after reached Newbury. a dilisr.ce only of two miles. Here the Mayor, with great humanity, or. dered him medical affifkance, and ev:ry attention. but it was too late—he languillsed from the a3d of November till the end of January, wlien he died.— The Learned Conniel further obferved, that the ap plicati..n to their Lordflrips war made at dm imme diate intlance of the Mayor of Newbury, who not only wilted t. refcue the parilh of Newton from the imputatiun cad upon it by one of its Officers, but alto to jounilk the party for his ext:tirte inhumanity. Lord ELLIIIDODOUGII obferved. " If the man had died immediately after he quitted Newton, in (bat I cafe it would have been a fit fubjeft to call for a Criminal information ; but. as it was. the cud tc quired might be obtained by indictment." , The Court acquicfced in this opinion. and Mr. • Masnsr took nothing by his motion. ►I 1111.U•11.7 8.
