We learn that goo fine fellows, from theWarwick !hire Militia, have volunteered for the line. The srh Royal Veteran battalion. now quartered in Edinburf,h Cable, &c. have received a route for lreland•—They march oo Friday morning. Yellerday the North Devon, /kis-1111re, and Not tingham militias, left Portfmouth, and encamped on South Sea Common. This has been rendered advife able on account of the Ophthalmia fpreading amonet them. Lord BflatwatioN, Lord MONTGOM say , and Colonel Gou LI), commanding thefe regiments, have joined them. Sir Gamic a PILIVOST'S battalion of the both regi ment, Colonel Baron ROT TINBUIGN, are on their march to Portfinouth, to do the duty of the Gar rifon. Wednefd4 the Pnrtfea Battalion of Volunteers were infpeBed by Colonel Mai moot ; upwards of boo men were under arms. Major SPICER afterwards gave a fumptuous dinner to Colonel Mammoc H, the Officers. and every man bdooging to the corps.— This magnificent feel wa• pa. taken of by neatly boo perfons. The Officers dined together at the Scciety H4ll, Portfea, and the n m comtniffioned officers and privates, at houfes in that town. Ravraw..Yefterday morning, at an early hour, the t 3th Regiment of Light Dragoons were paraded at their refpellive cantonments round Richmond, Wandfwetth, Putney, &c. and marched toHounflow Heath. On their arrival there they were infpeeted by their own Officers—their clothing and accoutre ments were all new, and proved ift good order ; their horfes were in high keep. A little after twelve, the Duke of Yong, as Field Martha' and Commander in Chief, with his General Staff, came on the ground ; and after riding along the lines, which were admirably well dreired, took his nation near the upper part of the Heath, the rear of the grand nation being on the Staines road. His Royal Brothers of CAMIRIDGIS I General of the Difirift, with his St,:ff ; KENT, CLARIIICI, SUSSEX, and GLoucssrea, with a numerous retinae, Coon joined, and the review began with the mini:envies of a Regiment of Light Cavalry. The Regiment being compofed of ten troops, lot med four fiptadrons, the remaining troops were detached on the wings and in front, as lkirmithers and coverers on the various movetrients of the corps againn a fuppnled enemy, which they did with great energy. They then advan fed from the main body by troops, alternately from the right and left wings, and retiring through the intervals—tht fe leading to the centre, in like manner advancing and retiring. This was followed by fimi lar manoeuvres, by alternate fquadrons, wings, and hen of the whole line. This was fucceeded by ad vancing on the charge, in like . progreffion, from fin gle troops to the whole line, which was performed with a rapidity and precifion, even on the whole line, charging on fpeed, that excited admiration in every , beholder. The Review cicfed with the detached tkirmiffiers being called int.) the main body, making a grand falu:e, accompanied by their fine and numerous band. , This done, wed the Royal Commander in Chief haw• ing fignified his high approbation of the ftrength, difciplene.• and appearance of the Regiment, they were difmitred to return to their quarters. A detachment of the r ath Dragoons kept the very extended and Crowded line well and temperately.— Some of the kph fell on the grand charge, but one only was ferinufly hurt. The fight was altogether an excellent one, and as much of rank, beauty, and fathiqn were on the ground, as have been ken for many years at a review of a tingle regiment. After the Review, the Royal Dukes returned to their feveral retidences in their barc.uches to drefs, , they being invited by the Officers of the Regiment to participate in the celebration of the Commander in Chief's natal day, at the Cattle, at Richmond, where an elegant entertainment was provided. A Paper has been laid before the Houle of Cr,m mons, (hewing the favings by the removal of Officers from half pay into regiments of the line.

A (hip letter was received yeflerday from Memel, cf a later date than any arrived by the way of Got tenbiirgh or Tonningen; It (lees, that 8000 Ruffian troops had entered that town. They are probably part of the Grand Army on their way homewards. It was by this route that the troops from the Rultan capital proceeded to the late theatre of war. The report of Bernadotte having had an interview with the Prince Royal of Denmark, at Kid, is un founded, bin att enormous French force is afrembling near Holflein.—Exclufiire of the great force under Marlhal Brune, which is to be einployed in the Gege of Stralfund, the corps of Marthal Scrult, and the Spann troops wetted from the Rhine, will amount to 90,000 then. It is reported it Hamburgh, that linniparte means to rebore the Hank Towns to their ancient importance. It is hid, there are to be thirteen of -them, that they are to keep a flee', and even one or perhaps two French ports are to be admitted to the league. The plan feems to be in hat mony with Mt.. poleon's views, as it would give him a dire& influ ence over the whole commerce of the North of Europe. A great part of the town of Pedeberg was de ((toyed by fire, oecafinned by lightning, on the 27th ult. but no lives were lots. Aasongit the lair, 21 honks, belonging to the richelt inhabitants of the town, were burnt to the ground. iAi COURT OF AIICIT=ORRY, AUGUST Is. IMPART& !WY LW 5111 SANER UPTCY OF WOODWARD. This was a petition on the part of Mr. Parry, whn had formeily been in copartnerfhip with the rupt, to be admitted to prove under the commilfion in the following circumftances : Woodward carried on builnefs at Liverpool, and in the year 1805, having bills to the amount of zoool. and upwards to receive from the African Company, he applied to a perfon in London, of the: name of Coke, to accommodate him with accep- tances to the amount oft tool. as a remit) , for which he gave him an order on the African Company for •the bills, the property of Woodward, lying in their hands. Coke wrote a letter to Woodviard, engaging to accept bills to the amount required, and having produced his order to the African Company Wood. ward's bills were delivered over to him. Parry in the mean time, and before Coke had accepted the bills, took out an attachment from the Lord Mayor's Court, agamil his partner, Woodward. which be lodged in the hands of Coke, who having applied to Woodward for infltutlions, was defired to pay the amount over to Parry, and not to accept the bills when prefented to him. He accordingly did to, taking however a band of indemnity from Parry.— Whet the bills drawn on him by Woodward, were afterwards prefented to him, he declined accepting them, and they were regularly proteßed, &ft for non acceptance, and afterwards for non payment. — It happened, however, that Woodward had, along with the•bills lodged with Metres. Clark and Rofcoe, Coke's letter engaging to accept them. They brought their ation against Coke, and the Court held that the letter was a ftifficient acceptance of the bills.— Coke was of cootie obliged to pay the money to Mr. R4Scne, which he afterwards rec.vered back from Mr. Parry. in thefe circumßances Mr. Parry shim. ed under the Commiflion taken out againtt Wood ward, but the Commiffioners refuted to allow him to prove. Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY having Bated the cafe on the past of the petitioner, Mr. ALEXANDER argued on the other fide, that Parry was not bound to have granted the bond of indemnity, which alone made it incumkent on him to repay the money. He was no creditor at the time of the bankruptcy, and therefore was not entitled to prove. The LORD CHANCIML,NR held, that the money having been paid over to Parry, under a millake, and he not being entitled to keep it, his debt had never been paid ; of courfe, that he was a creditor of Woodward's a' the time of the bankruptcy. He, therefore, fent it back to the Commiffioners, with in- firultions to alilw Mr. Parry to prove his debt. RK•tARTI IIIUISIMAKBIL 1N TN[ BANKRUPTCY 0, PANDER NORM. This was alfo a petition for leave to prove tinder a Commitlion of Bankrupt. The ground on which the Commiffioners had rejefted the claim was, that the petitioners were alien enemies. Mr. ALIi•NDE a, in fupport of the petition Rated, that it appeared from the affidavits that the debts claimed on were contraeed in the courfe of trading, which had been rendered legal by licences from his Majefly. Thefe licences, he contended, had the died of convening the petitioners from alien enemies into alien ft lends. • The Lotto CHANCILLOI Paid, that fuch licence was not granted to foreigners but to fubjeas of this coun try. It was neither more or lefs than a licence to merchants of this country to trade with the enemies of our Sovereign 1..,)rd the King. The effed of it was to proteEt the goods in trartfitu from capture by the (hips of this country, and to legalife policies of infur ance made on fuch goods. But it did not capacitate an alien enemy to profecute for the price of any goods he might thus difpofe of, nor put him in any other fit uation than he would have Rood in, had no licence been granted. The petition was of courfe difraitred. IN emirs WATLIS, IN THI, lIANILRUPTCY OF STORES. This was an application on the pail of the affignee, to have a debt to the amount of 37901. claimed on by Mr. Samuel Wall, expunged from Stokes's come miffion ; on the ground that, from the mode in which that fum was contra/led by Stokes, it did not refolee into a debt, but into a felony, under the Aft of the 39th of the King, to prom& bankers, merchants, and others, againti the fecreting and embezzling of their effekls, by clerks and fervants. This matter had lot merly been before Lord Chan cellor Ea sz IN e, who, being of opinion that a cafe of that nature could not be properly judged on affida vits, fent it to the Commiffioners, to take the necef faty evidence, and to report to his Lord(hip. It now appeared, from the Report of the Comm& (loners, that Stokes had for tweitty years been riding clerk to Mr. Wall, during which period he regularly made two journics a year to North and South Wales, and collelted for him in each journey, fume to the amount of 40001. or soool. : That, fur the !aft eight years, he had alfo carried on an extetifiee trade on his own account : That he had been in the habit, a few days after his return from each journey, of exhi. biting a Ratement• of his accounts, and of paying the balance probably in fix weeks ; •though, after he had commenced bufinefs for himfelf, Mr. Wall often indulged him for a longer per: d, and his debts, in this way, to Mr. Wall, might Ire quetnly amount to 4001. or poi.: That Mr. W.'s Son having lama) , obferved that many of their old cullomers were more than common in arrear, wrote to one of them, and found that ht had already fet tled with Stokes ;this produced an explanation, when Stokes admitted that feveral ether accounts were in the fame fituatiun, but that, after hav ing completed his then enfuing journey, he Would make up a regu lar Rate of matters between them. By this Rate ment he confrffed firms to the amount of t7ool. but it ultisisately appeared t that in all they amounted to upwatds of 4.001. Sir Santos I. RoMILLt and Mr. Haat., in fupport of the application, contended, that banters, mer chants, &c. having at their own defire obtained an Ad rendeting it felony for their clerks or fervants to fe crete or embezzle their property, were not now enti• tied to ezercife an optics) either of profecuting crimi nally, where there were no effects to reimburfe them, ter of dairying for it as a debt, where there was any 'tance of their recovering. There could not be doubt, that, in the prefent cafe, a felony had been committed in the eye of the fiatute. AILTINIL PIGOTT and Mr. CULLS* contended, that , . r • . •.• 9.1 • there was here no felony,' btit a Pimple debt.-- 7 Mr. Wall had never ruppofed that the bankrupt. has any felonious ihrentiOn, elfe he Would meter have allowed him to make the concliding journey, atter every thitig now &Hedged againft him had beep dir. Covered. At all event., if the petitioner, who; it was to be obferved, was only one of the aftieees, filled that the bankrupt was wrilty nr fel .ny, why not indirl him before a competent tribunal. Sir S. Ross in reply. ridiculed it .e idea of pro. .fecuting criminally. where the oftentible prifecutor . ,was fo mukh intetellid in . the eiculpatir n of the ac cufed. Sirch,profecutioni, however, he contended ; were never ordered for the purport of accertaining inferi rr objects of civil import, but only wse:e the public intereft wai fuppided to be concerned . The LnitDCHAstat.t.na thought the circirm fiancee fo firong, that °nigh Mr. Wall would undertake a trial for the debt before a CoUrt of Law, I.e mutt order the claim to be expunged: He accordingly. ordered en tlfue to be tried, daring that it might be fairly limed, that the objed was to determine who; titer the claim refolved into a debt or a felony. IMPARTI CAmillita. iN THE SANKRUPTCY Or aswioa. This was a petition from Mr. Campbell, as Truf. tee for the children of the bankrupt, to be admitted to prove a debt of toool. under the Commiffi m. The bankrupt, many :years ago married Mifi Rn bina Kennedy, daughter of a Gentleman of tome property), in Scotland, who had granted to hit daughter a bond of prr.irifion for 10=1. and upwards. No c 'ntrad was entered int t previou. to the mar. : riage, but it was flipulated iretbally, that the fortune of the wife lhould be fecured to herfell and children. Sometime after the marriage, and bet ., re the batik. rupt had received more than tool. of his wife's for. tune, he executed deeds in fairour of the petitioner. fecuring to his wife and children wool. fince which time it appeared, that the whole provision granted to her by ner father, to the altount of upwards of (tool. was paid over to the bankrupt. The Corn. miffioners, however, holding the tr tilt bond in fart ur of the petitioner to be a gratuitous deed by the bank. rupt to his children, retitled to allow the petitioner to prove under the Commia.n. Sir S ROMILLY, in fupport of the claim, refe rd to the cafe of Stevens and Oliver, in ad Brown, where it was held that a proviGon in favour of the children, made in folvent circomtlances, was good, even though not made out of the wife's fortune. Here an exprefs ftipulation had been made previous to the marriage, which though not then carried into elfef I, had been completed at a period when the hufband hed received only tool. of the rum, in confiJeration of which the bond in queftion was granted. There wag an a ffi davit too, that at the time the bond was granted tire bank rupt was worth mood. after payment of all his. debts, and continued in affluent circurnftances for eight years afterwards. The Loan CHANCILLOR Seilked to know if the hufband could have Cued for the proviGon fetded on his wife by her father t Sir S. Roseau faid the concurrence of the will mull have been neceffary. His Lordihip took time to look into the cafe of , Stevens and Oliver. AIIOtIST 16. The Loan Cusses Lime this day raid, that he rollout it impoffible to make any order in this cafe, without farther inquiry. The verbal flipulati..n previous to the marriage, that the portion of the mother &arid be fettled on the children, am.)unted to nothing; nei.. ther did he think that the cafe referred to by Sir S. Romilly, nor another cafe in ad Vefey, determined on the fame principles, applies to the prefent cafe. The decilion in both of thefe cafes, in the one by Lord Hardwicke, and in the other by Lnrd Ken)on, went (imply on this ground, that. at the limo of granting the provifions in favour of their children, the fathers owed no debts whatever. He had looked in vain for any cafe in which it was laid down that the lolvency of the father, at the time of granting fuch a bond, was fufficient to give validity to it. He now called on the Learned Counfel to point out fuch a cafe. Sir Sam us I. Ross t i.xy admitted that he could point out no cafe exatily in point. The Loan CHANCELLOR laid, in this fituation. it would be necelrary to afcertain whether the Ba - ikrupt owed any debts in t 790, at the time the bond in queftion was executed. The eaficft and leaft expen five mode of doing this was by affidavit. He, there fore, allowed the petitioner to file additional affida vits, for the purpofe of !hewing that the bankrupt had no debts in the year 1796, which existed at the period cf bis bankruptcy. Tut Dui or Yoaz's Miro DAY —A Grand Fete was given at Gotland., on Sa:ur day 1011, by the Ditchers of Yoaz, in honour of the Duke'. birth day. About half pail une o'clock, arrived the Kett°, Q . Esso, and Princeffes AUGUSTA, ELIZASETR, So rota, MARY, and A:4.sta. At the foot of the noble colonnade Host! the Duke and Duellers of Yoaz to receive their Auguft Relative.. About five, arrived the Party who were to dine with the Duke and Da shers. An apology had been pa evi .ufly made by the Prince of Woo, s, and the Dukes of Csao taco, Ken? and Castaatemz, begging to he esculed attending until Sunday. The patty which on Saturday fat down to dinner was about z 6 io number, of whom were the following : Earl of Lauderdale, Lord Erarine, General Brownrigg. Lord Charles Bendnek, Sir Culling and Lady Sniilt, Earl of Cavan, Colonel M•Malloa, Colonel Upton, Mr. Upton, and Mr. Green. wood. An elevated platform was tretted - on the lawn, upon which one hundred and fixiy-three couple danced at one time : the dancers minded of the ufual motley groupe of ruftics. Although it has been ufual for the Ductless to go down the dance with Colonel Urrow, or fome other Military Gentleman prefent, on this occaftou her Royal Highnefs declined to miz in the throng, owing, no doubt, to the entente heat of the evening.—Among the groupe of dancers was a couple, both far advanced in years, who difplayed as much eccentricity in their drefs a, in their ityle of dancing : the lady wore flays a (*antique, with a riding habit equally over; the gentleman and on a eau's flower wig of vast dimenfions, and a fniiif colt - tined coat with stiff &ins : they were both unkn o wn. I t was not until two o'cl' ck that the pealantry retired, previous to which they had plenty of 'ma beef and honse•brewed ale. Her Royal Highnefs looked very well z the is grown rather mica? .int ; and was dreffed in a plain white robe, with a Grecian hektl-drefo, perfally fimple and neat.
