HIGH COVRT OF ADIAIRALTF, DOCTORS' COW nvi s.—Friday the Right Honourable Sir W.

It appeared by the evidence produced on the part of the claimants, r that the *lip was extremely leaky, and the crew, cxhaufted by the ' pump, Wilted on the wafter going into Fluthing, in order to get the fitip repairvd. The Court war clearly of opinion, front the report of the per foes whom it dire red to Purvey this leak, that the necellty of going into ary other port than the Wetted port of deftination, in this cafe, did not ezift, and therefore condemned the Gap and car go as good and lawful prize to the captors. • . In the clafs of cafes called the Maft Ships, the .Court dire died ftfil further proof to be produced as to the property , but decreed treed= and =peaces to be due to the neutral matters. The ATlttCl o of 4 guns. and the Tnarts, Sy amt.!, and Arot.t.o frigates, are ordered to be pre pared for commillion. The Mow ARCH, of 74 guns, which has been tome time Lord KEITH'S flag (hip at Rsmfgate, is taken into dock at Chatham. at which place the EDGAit, of 74 guns, is fitted for the reception of his Lordthip's Hag; during the repair of the MeII•RCH. Admiral CORNWALLIS, on being apprifed of the return of the combined fleets to Europe, recalled a fciaadron of five fail of the line. which he had de. tached under the orders of Sir RICH•ID STRACHAN, with a view, as was fuppofed, to reinforce the Roche. fort and Ferrol fquadrons.

The Ti ipolitane, alarmed at this fneceh, immediately 'made riertitres of peace, preparing to liberate Capt. Baseiareistand the people of the Philadelphia, Etc.

The promifed Commercial Treaty between France and Switzerland has been abandoned ; France oh jetted to moll of the terms propofed by the Commit lion of Zuriclsdas being contrary to the French laws, orinjurious to the French trader • but, in fart,be caufe they were calculated to refeue Switzerland from the wretchednefs to which Franc. has reduced • her, and in which it is the policy of Bop/APART, to keep Der, in order to reconcile her to the political ebange which awaits her Government. The Swift on their part, objected to loch chutes of the French projelt as interfered with their canto honks, and which prohibited the importation of Britifh goods ; the confcquences are, that the trade and mannfaftures of that unfortunate country are nearly annihilated, unable to procure either the raw articles, or a market for their goods. TAltrAßY.—Altnak every mail from the Continent brings frefh accounts of the extenflon of the dominion • and influence of Ruflia in Afia. The }alt letters from Conflantinopie mention, that Tome Tartar Chiefs on the eaftern coati of the Cafpian Sea, having been guilty of great oppreffien, the people affembled, and deputed a Kalmue of influettce to reprefent their grievances, and demand redrefs ; hut inftead of his million being attended to, he was feized and put to death, and feveral other perform fuppofed to be dif affetted were thrown into prifon. The people, ere , Aerated at thefe meafures, burft into aftive and de- Itruftive rebellion ; they committed the molt horrid rnallacres and devaftation, and in a fhort period their camp comprifed upwards of forty thoufand men. A . powerful body of troops under the command of a Ruffian General advanced againft them, and defeat. ed them with immenfe daughter ; and, with a view i to prevent the recurrence of loch outrages, has alum ( ed for his Court the Government of the country. DUBLIN, yrnr le.: An outrage of a very alarming nature took place on Thurfday lan, at 13aMoran/art, near Dunlavin, county Wicklow. The houfe of a gentleman named BuTt.sa, who had lately taten a c •nfulerable farm, formerly held by perfons if the name of DILaNT, was attacked in the middle of the night by a number of armed men, who fet fire to the hnufr, and fired feveral (hots upon the inhabitants, while attempting to efcape from she flames; fortunately Mr. BVTLIR and his family efcaped to the houfe of a neighbour, without any petfonal injury, but with the total lots' of all their movable property. Thurfday two young men of decent appearance who had formlrly refided in the neighbourhood of Thomas-flreet, were committed to gaol, being im plicated in • fome unlawful prailices. They came from tome diflant part of the country only the night before, and were fpeedily recognized by one of our alive Peace Officers. Laft week a perfc.n, fiippofed to be a fpy, was lodg ed in the New Prifon. He for fome time refuted to give any account of himfelf, or to tell his name. At length he Paid it was Duggan, but that is believed to be fielitious. • ,Tuefday night, or early on Wednefday morning, we are informed, a centinel was fired upon by fame Barbayian,-in the new avenue to the Old Man's Hof pital, and feverely wounded in the arm. Two fel lows were (portly after taken into cuftody on fufpi cion, upon one of whom WAS found a piflok PUGILISM. -, ~ • Saturday talk was expeOed to have been a day of great note among the amateurs of the frience of Boxing. Several of the adepts in the art were to have exhibited t but, to the great mottificati-n and dif appointinent of fome thoufands of the mobility, it turned out a day of an ordinal,' nature. According to the previous arrangements, the Chicken, and a, young man of the name of Gully, were to have entered the lifts, for a purfe of tool. which had been fubfcribed by the principal amateurs. The conteft was fixed to take place near Shepperton, but the Magiftrates irl the neighbourhood having been apprifed of the circnmftance, determined to pre vent it, and held a meeting at Chertfey for that pur. pole. This flep induced the amateurs to (hilt their ground, and the Camtur Martha was removed to Blackwater, about fix miles beyond Baehor. On no occafion of this kind was there ever loch a con. cow fc of fpetctatqrs teen preffing to the fcene of anion. It was a ffibjelt of regret to fee fo many men of rank and fafhion join in the cavalcade, which extended al mlll twenty miles upon the road to Bagfhot. Great numbers left town for Blackwater on the Friday even ing, in order to avoid the ci owl the following day, as well as to fecure.horfei on the road, which proved extremely difficult ; on the Saturday morning they were fo fcarce, that half a crown a mile was frequently offered for honks from the plough, and large films were given to the farmers to induce them to take the animals from their teams. The clouds of duff were fn great,, that it was impollible at times to fee a yard before the honks heads, and it was no , wonder to find the roads in feveral places !hewed with the wreck of broken gigs, buggies; and carts. A blue be. died chariot, in which were forne inyhed Moth, dratvo by fir horfes, driving at a furious rate, made great havoc among the-minor vehicles ; feveral perfons in confequence, attempted to flop it, but found to their coft, that the charioteers could cat as well as Fm.— A: Dutch Sam and a friend were driving down a hill in full canter, they pulled the reins tight to keep the horfe's head up—the traces broke, the horfe plunged, broke the thefts, and overturned the chaife. Thehrofes were defperately cut, and Sam received fo much injury its one of his legs that his match with Young Belcher Was put a flop to. It was reported at Staines, about eight o'clock in the morning, that the field of battle had been chang ed From Blackwater to Cobham Heath, five miles on one fide of the Bagfhot road. To this fpot numbers repaired as early as half pall ten o'clock, where after waiting a confiderable time, it was found that the pugilills had proceeded to Blackwater, in confe quence of a hint they had received from the Magic- Writes of the County, that no battle should take place in Cobham pariah The amateurs who were thrown out, inveighed bitterly spina thole who bad the management of the battles, and a ftory was loon fet on foot that the three fights according to the teeh nichal Orate) were to be er CS, and the three faros. rites were to bole. Thofe w o had betted the odds, took the opportunity of declaring off their betts pub. liely, and it was generally underflood that not a fir pence depending on the battles would be paid. Ito& of the perfons who had horfes that were not quite knocked up (of which there were very few), fet off rot Blpskwater, a ditlance .4 about ten miles from that pinse, and thirty two from town; notwithftand ing which, at two o'clock, there were affembled in that neighbourhood feveral thoufands of people : the prize-figkets had arrived Come time before, but there was no appearance of any battle taking place, and every one was enquiring of his neighbour the caufe. At length it was made known, that the Gentkaaa who had been at all the expence of training three of the combatants (among whom was Gully), refufed to fuffer any of them to fight in confequence of the bets being declared off, and on account of the illibe ral reports that had gone abroad. It was then pro pored to this Gentleman, in order that the fights might proceed, that if he would thew his book, the fame fumsthould be betted him which he had on the feveral battles prior to the bets being declared off. To this he objefted. All hope being over of feeing the ;rimers fet to, and unwillingly to part in peace, two battles were made up among the/maul row. Cribb, alias the Mod Diamond. who had hitherto triumphed in numerous battles, was matched gain,' Nichol, a Brian' man, to fight for a purfe of forty guineas, who proved a Au stead of a finer water. A more revere battle is not recorded in the annals of pugilifm. They fought for an hour and ten minutes, during which time there were fifty-two rounds. Cribb was the favourite, and confiderable odds were laid on his fide. He was the &ft down however; but the amateurs !thought no thing of it. as it is fo well known that lie fo repeat edly contrives to throw himfelf back in order to evade the full force of a blow. In the courfe of a few rounds he cut the Brillol man nudes the right eye Altai WI hied, as bee cot wia a Inih. The latter was Rill very eoel and good humoured, and, as the fighting men exprefs it, he wasquitejayand Etch f fpirits throughout the coma, frequently p int. kg his finger and le:ling out his tongue at Cribb. Mont the toth rounl Cribb had one of his eyes en tirely.'clofed up, notwithlianding he shifted and fprung about with a great deal of (kill and agility. But what did him the moll material injury was feveral cutting blows he received in the left fide, and the seek, by the other drawing his arm in a horizontal line acrofs him when he gave there favourite blows. The Brill& man was alto very expert at breaking ( 1 11 his adverfary, a method that was fit it brought down from Norfolk to Brifiol by Slack, and is done by projeaing the arm fuddenly again a the opponent's face when he (wings forward with a violent blow.— Cribb, however, though he evidently had the worik of it, made feveral excellent rallies. But when he had fought 4.0 rounds, it was obferved that he was winded. He-had been up all night, and had walked reverel miles on his way down. He recovered the fight of his eye, and fought on, though rather thy, as he frequently made (port hits, and fell back from his own blows. Several knowing ores were taken in by this fight, as hopes were entertained of him till it was too late, and he gave in at the clofe of the 52d round. Dick Hall was one of his friends, and Tots Jones was for Nicholls, who is now pronounced to be a prime man. A match for 2o guineas the winner and five to the borer was then made up between one Will Wilkie, a Jack-afs man, in Wettminfter, and a Jew of the name of Levy, who was very little known. He, however, fet to with (pith, and (hewed Come (port for about a quarter of an hour. But during the whole time Wilkie received hardly any injury more than a black eye. The Jew, though he received fame (harp blows, was roppored to have been able to hold out longer if he had had good lama. Another fight was fpoken of between Richmond, the black, and a white • man, but either fuificiest money could not be made op, or the tern could not be agreed on, and the company came from the Odd at a little before fix in the evening. having thee a diftance of thirty-two miles to triad back after tbelt day's amufement.

On Friday lall, a grand Concert was Oren at the Exeter Theatre. for the benefit of the nofpital, when the receipts of the night were 2541. one hundred guineas of which were given by Viicount Courri IT for the admiffion of himfelf and friends. In the moll fertile diaries of Piedmont. Gs munes, with their fields, were devaftated on the 15th and 16th of June, by a Rorm of unprecedented yin. lance.

The new Comedy, entitled The Pillage, or The Work& Ejiisiat, was performed on Friday evening at this Theatre, for the fecund time. The Houfe was crowded is every part. The perfontnnce, after many tedious inter ruptions, had proceeded to the middle of the third alt, when the clamour of difapprobation became fo loud and vehement, that it was thought prudent not to perfeveve any further, but to allow the curtain to drop. Mr. ELLISTON then came forward, and ad drelied the audience to the following purport : Ladies and Gentbanen—ln conform= of what has fall now plod Miami the ameba, I appear before you In order to sari. dee a the famisonts which you teem iodised to aprefs upon this occalon. I hove always hitherto experienced fueh a degree isf ►lnd attention and refpea from a brkl& sadism, that I ball never be afraid to awe before them, to order a patent that ditty which I deem incumbent urn me, both towards Mom and to. wards the Author. Yon did aft night fandlioa this kcond per formance. No pwfonal confideradon, however, Sall ever laid me a drink from toiling the truth ; the Piece Ms now had a lb. cowl trial, and it appears evidint to every one, that it ought not to be brought forward any more, and that we ought not this night to rooted my farther with its performance." Having Paid thus much, Mr. Et.ctrroa then an nounced the Comedy of the Drage:sift for the next evening, and the audience espreircd their latisfadion at this refult by loud burtis of applaufe and atria• mations. - - SING V LAR Pacr.—A few nights ago, a refpetaxiMe inhabitant of Clonard, in the county of Meath, was alarmed in his bed by the fhrieks of a perfon appa. rently in diltrefs. With a view to fave, if poilible, the life of a fellow creature, he haftily arofe, took his mufquet, and endeavoured, by following the direction from whence the cries proceeded, to afeertain the ob jeft in afflidtion. After fome time he arrived at a ditch, full of water, on the furface of which he per. ceived fomething white ; on taking hold of, and re moving it to the bank of the ditch, he found himfelf in polieffion of a young woman, almoft lifelels, her hands bound with a towel, and her feet with a table cloth; he then took her to hi. houfe, where the experi. enced the utmoft humanity from ibis family, throu g h whole unceating exertions the recovered in the courfe of the day following. Prayers, threats, or entreatiee were ufed in vain to procure an explanation from • her, as to the circumftances which led to the Soviet fituation in which the was found. She remains obfti , nate, and except in this particular, conduds holed with great prppriaty.
