July 23, 1805. 1 - bear rriends—l wr i te to inform you, that on the lad, we fell in with the French and Sranifh fleets, confifting of 2.) fail of the lint, and eight frigates; we had is fail of the line, and two frigates. We commenced a very heavy engagement for two hours and forty minutes: we took two fail of the line, one of which, a Spanifh So gun ihip, Rruck to the Agamemnon. The weather be ing very foggy, and the combined fleet being to windward, pre vented us from taking or dcftroying more. We Coffered much in our hull, yards, and rigging; having the fore and main yard Ihot through; the foretop-fail yard Ihot away; the mizcn tripnicift alto hanging over the fide ; twelve pair of lower fhrouds cut away ; our fails like a fieve; fix Ibot between wind and water, 9ne in the redder. But though fo many shot we:e ftriking and flying about, and having three (hips on us, two Spanifh and one French, we had but three men wounded, and thofe not dangcroufly, a thing (calve ever known before. The Admiral told us our Ihip was one con tinual blaze of fire the Whole adiou." EXTRACT OP A LITTER FROM AN OFFICER OF HIS MA JESTY'S SHIP TRIUMPH 4 DATED JULY SS, NORTH LAT. 44. 20. f I have thepleafure of informing you, that our fquadron, un der the command of Vice Admiral Sir Robert Calder, Bart, con ning of fifteen fail of the line; and two frigates, deferied the French and Spaniel combined fleet on Alonday left, the asd of July, about noon, confining of twenty or more fail of the line, ten frigates, and two corvettes, ftanding for Ferrol; and at five o'clock the Lme afternoon, we brought them to action, accord ing to fignal front the Admiral, to engage the centre of the enemy firft : unfortunately, it came on extremely foggy and thick, 10 that we could feareely eillinguifli our own fisip ahead of us in the line ; however,. we made thift to diftinguith the enemy's; our chip followed the leading flip In the line of battle, and the only flops we could perceive engage with us were the Barfleur and Hero; the former behaved extremely gaßant, ad did our RIM; and, I believe, you wiU agree with me in oyinion, whoa I fay that we had no leG than four Spaniel Mips, one of then a three decker, and two French Mips, pouring it into the Barfleur and our fhip, hot and warm, for an hour and a half, without intertaidlion. When the fog cleared up a little, oar men saw a three decker difmafted, dropping to leeward out of the lire, and her colours hauled down, receive a whole broadfide from one of the French Admiral's Mims, which the returned with a few Mot. In what manner the Mips afttrn of us were engaged, the fog prevented us from afct.naining: at eleven o'clock, it became extremely dark, and there being no mood, a general reflation of firing rook place, and at day light next morning, I found the Triumph, Bat ficur, and Hero, to wind ward of our fleet four miles, and to leeward of the enemy about three. I had forgot to mention, that our fleet engaged them to leeward. The enemy remained to windward of as the whole of the day, and (hewed no difpofition to come down to attack us to leeward, where we remained repairing our damages. At ten A. M. 233, we perceived our two frigates to leeward with a Spa niel three decker, partly difinafted, and a 74 difmafted, towirg them up to the fleet, the enemy continuing the whole of the day not dilpofed to attack us. The damage fultained by the (hips, the inferi-rity of our numbers, and other caufes, have prevented us from recommencing the engagement. The whole of the' lath, we &aped our course tbivards the Channel with the prizes, which were this day rent in under charge of the Windfor Cattle, and the frigates. Indeed, we conceive it probable that the difmafted Pup had specie on hoard, which poffibly induced the French Admiral to give her a broadfid.: after she had ftruck ; and dropt out of the line. The Admiral has jolt made the fignal to rendezvous off Cape Finliterre ; fo that we have no doubt he means to-morrow morn ing to &ape hii course for Ferrol...if not perhaps for Cadiz, to join Admiral Colinlgwood, who has twelve fail of the line there. As the wind has [lofted Mice yefteolay, and we were then (landing to the fouth ward at twelve o'clock, we may poMbly fall in with fome of the lame ducks. Conlidering the warm fire we fuftaincd from fix of the'enemy's Min at one time, the laft of which, a French man, to whorl we gave eight broadlidcs, our lofs is extremely (mall, having only four men killed, and eleven wounded, and not one Officer among them. We bad three aukward Mot between wind and water; ooe on the itarboard fide of the cock-pit, in at one fide, and out at the other, without much damage. I very much fear, owing to the foggy weather, fome of the iternmoft Mips did not come to salon, otherwife, had that been the cafe, and welted . had the weather-gage, and not foggy, we Mould have given a good account of one half of them, or perhaps every man his bird. If we do tall in with them, I think we !hall give a better account of them at neat meeting." Captain JAMES GARDINER is arrived from the coall of Chili, which he left on the t ith of April la, r.nd reports, that two South Sea whalers were caFtureci by a Spanith fi igate and King's brig, and carried into Valrornfa. A full fhip, homeward-bound, put in there to refit, but failed immediately after, leaving the Captain behind. The brig was fent after her. Thurfday evening the wounded officers and men of the Witicisoa CASTLE, of 98 guns, were convey ed in boats to the Jetty (lairs of the Royal Naval Hofpital, and cart ied fr rn thence in hammocks flung to the different wards prepared for lick and vrmnded feamen, and Royal Marines, in that noble inflitution.

AUGUST 2 THOINTROI AND FORMAN V. BUNN. Mr. Piony, on the part of the . Plaintiffs, moved, that a receiver (honld be appointed to receive the W ines and profits of the trade carried on by the Defen dant, and that the fever,al ")ales'of premifes, and the books and papers, now in the poffeffi )n of the De fendant, Ihould be depofited in the office 'f the Mat ter, fo as to allow the Plaintiffs to have accefs to them. The Learned Gentleman then Rated, as the Prounds of thi s mo ti on , f rom t h e a ffi d av i ts o f t h e laintiffs, that a partnerfhip had formerly fubfifted in the iron bufinefs between them and the Defendant, and that they had paid a contiderable fum of money into it, with part of which, valuable leafehold inte- Teas had been purchafed, on Coxe's wharf, and cite where. The bufinefs was, for Come time, carried on by the Defendant, in the name of Foreman and Bunn, not the ‘ Mr. Foreman who was i n rea lity a part ner, but a relation of his, who had, in fa& no in retell in the concern, and allowed his name to he made tile of only to oblige the Plaintiffs, who did not with to appear as partners in the !haute. At firft it was agreed, that the partnetfhip fhould continue for (even years, but the Defendant afterwards refuf•. ed there articles, and a partnerfhip was entered into without the time of its duration being fpecified.— This continued for tome time, all parties having a great confidence in each other, and the Defendant contrived to get the leafes of the premifes into his ;sided - pm; flintily after which a difpnte arofe among them, the confequence of which wat, that the De fen.lant figcified his intention of diffolving the part net Chip, and immediately took down the name of Foreman from the premifes at Coxe's Wharf, and feid he carried on the bufinefs on his own account, though it was with the partnerfhip property, and re futed to give up the leafes which he had got into his polfeffion, or to allow the Plaintiffs to have accefs to the books or premifes, In as to enquire into the Rate of the property, but laid he was about to take an account of the Rock on hands, which he would fend them a copy of when perfected. The affidavits far ther Rated, that the intereft of the Plaintiffs in the partnerthip property was confiderably greater than the interett of the Defendant, who was the working partner, and had only a fourth of the profits. Mr. Pignt made feveral obfervations on the different points in the affidavits as he Rated them, and con cluded by laying, that if ever there was a cafe in which a Court of Equity would interfere, in a part nerthip account, it was the prefent ; he therefore hoped his Lordlhip would be pleated to make the order required. Mr. ROMILLr for the Defendant Rated, that it ap peared by the affidavit filed by his client, that he had paid in calls into the concern 73m1. as his fourth (hare. The (hares of the Plaintiffs, being the re maining 3 aths, had been made up f Rock in trade, of the very premifes now reprefented as being she ex clufive property of the Plaintiffs, and of the good. will of the bufinefs carried on there. Thefe, toge ther, amounted to pool. more than the Plaintiffs' 3 4ths of the concern, and the difference was repaid them out of the Defendant's nod. Almoft from the very beginning of the connection, difputes as to the articles of co-partnerfhip arofe. The conveyan ces to the leafehold premifes where the bufinefs was carried on, were not made out till after the com mencement.of the copartnery, and the moment the Defendant fonnd that they were made out in the names of the Plaintiffs alone, he remonftratedagainft it, and was given to underftand that it would be remedied, being intended only as temporary. Hav ing, however, finally differed as to the articles of partnerthip, the co-partnery was dilfolved on the I ft of July lafl. It was then fettled, that the Plain tiffs fhould take the Stock in London, and the De fendant that at Coxe's Lock, on valuations, and the Defendant had manufactured, and converted to his individual ufe. no part of the co-partnery concern, except that which he had to flipulated fhould be ' long to himfelf, as part of the flock at Coxe's Lock, which was more than compenfated by a debt of 84001. due to him by the concern. Infpation of the books the Defendant had refuted, being appre her:five left the Plaintiffs fhould have carried them off. He had offered, however, to furnith the Plaintiffs with copies of them. The flock of the co-partnery to.), he apprehended, he was entitled to , retain till the affairs Ihould be wound up, he alone being re-' fponlible for the debts of the concern. The perfon whole name appeared on the film along with Lim, Edward William Foreman, was in fag no partner in the concern, and the two Plaintiffs were merely dor mant partners. The Defendant, however, was ready to become Receiver under the Matter, and to find fecurity. The premifes he had all along been willing fh iuld be difpofed of by public auflion. The LORD CHANCELLOR recommended to the par. ties, to make their own breath the Court,of Equity to which they ought to retort. During his predict, both on the Bench and at the Bar, he had known much evil, and little real advantage, refult to part ners coming to that Court forredrefs. If called on to give judgment in the cafe, he mull feel inclined to give facilities, rather to the perfon oltentibly bound for the concern, than to thole who, though with greater Mares in it, had chains to keep out of view. The premifes he fhould be inclined to confider as part of the co-partnery Rock, particularly as it was im potlible to contraditlinguith between the leate, which was daily lofing . value, and the goodwill, which it was poflible to conceive, was increafing in a ten-fold ratio. To avoid all queflions of the kind, however, be fhould poßpone the determination of the matter till Monday next. He hoped by that day the parties would have come to art underilanding among them fdves. If they had not, he Ihould then feel it his dory to do what his office required. He knew that that day twelvemonths, he would feel tatisfattion in thiuting that he haddone fo relueantly ; and, he was certain, both partkisionld then fincerely regret they had not followed hisakvice. • auatteT 3.—WPIITit,OCIC O. lITDENHANI AND OTHERS. This cafe, which we fo fully,reported on Saturday, again occupied the afteritirsis'of the Court. Mr. Pcnwriem addrelfed his Lordatip at confidera ble length, and with great earneßnefs, in order to (hew that the breach of truft, on the part of Syden ham's father, t awards the father of the Plaintiff, gave the Court jurifdiflion over the trantaftion, and ena bled his Lordfhip to make fuch a decree as the jultice ,f the cafe demanded upon the recta Bill, framed as it was. He concluded, by exprerfing Ins ecntl deuce that the difpofition. of his Lordfhip would in cline him to relieve an oppreffed and injured orphan, who, but for his I, , ,rdthip's goodnet in Aligning him Counfel, would have been without the means of afferting his rights. Mr. Ric HARM replied generally to theargnments of Mr. A ttnrney General, Mr. Romilly, and Mr. Plnwden. The LORD CHANCFLLOR oblerved, that, before he pronounced any decifion in this cafe, he fhould read over the whole of the Bill, in order that he might become correftly acquainted with its contents. He fhould confider how he would have decided it, had it come before him in the year 1783, when the Plain tiff's father was of age, and fhould alfo fatisfy himfelf how every Chancellor, before and fince that period, would have decided it. He had no doubt but that a Bill might be framed which would call upon the De fendants to anfwer.. His apprehenflon was, that the Bill as now brought forward, was not one on which relief could be given. If, .upon recnlleflion, he found reafon to alter his opinion, it would give him no un ealinefs to acknowledge his error. At prefent, he thought the demurrer ought to be,Allowed ; but he lhoold deliver his judgment on Monday, and (late the principles upon which it was founded. AUGUST 5. —WHITLOCK V. FASTCOURT AND OTHERS. The LORD CHANCELLOR this day delivered his opt. nion at great length in this cafe, and after going through the Bill, paragraph by paragraph, fhewed that it was not laid in fuch a manner as to warrant the Court in calling on the Defendants to arrt'wer. The entail was, throughout theist/hole Bill, Rated to be a fubfilling deed, Rill Yelling the right to the eßates in qtretlion in the Plaintiff. If fo, all the deeds raid to Rand in the perfons of the Defendants were nulli. ties; and the Plaintiff, if he could pro:.uce the deed of entail, had only to proceed at c ommon l aw by ejeament. If, however, the deed was not ss ithin his reach, and it was neceffary for the Plaintiff to apply to a Court of Equity, it was, in that event, incumbent on him, in claiming a difclofure•againa the Dtfen dants, to alledge that the deed was in their cuflody. This, fin beginning to end of the Bill, he had not done. And although his Lordthip felt equal anxiety to afford relief to a perfon fuing in firma paupris, as to any other, he could not extend to the Plaintiff filch relief as was not confiflent with the praElice, and, of courfe, the law of that Court.—The Plaintiff WAS accordingly difmifled.

And the third pt ize, being likewife 30 maks, was voted to Peter• Forbes, from F fs, Pei ttlinire.

And although this was the firtt year the at tention of competitors had been called to playing the cudgel, it was perfr rated in a much better style than could have been expected.

From the increafed countenance and fupport which not only thole connected with the Highlands, but the c-mpany in general who are in Edinbuigh at the races, are pleated to give to this annual competition and ex hibition, the Judges were much gratitied to find, that from the large amount of the receipts of the Theatre on the day of competition, with the turn allowed by the London Society, they were enabled to make an addition in money to the competitor who gained the &ft prize, and to treple the fecond and third prizes, betides making a handfome divifion among the un fuccefsful candidates, Tome of whom had come from a great dillance, to encourage them to further exer tions in this ancient national mac, and likcwife among the Highland dancers. 7 mu. +Mc WUS .. 111=1111
