Accounts from the Havannah nate, that the Spanilh Miniver of Marine at that port had been arrefled at midnight, all his papers had been feiz ed, and he himfclf clofely confined in the Moro Calile. Two Admirals and the Captain of a fhip of the line had alfo been put under arreft. There proceedings are Paid to have originated in fome difagreement with the Comptroller-general of the Navy. _ _ In thefe papers we find a remonftrance to the PRESIDENT from a nnmbi of matters of !hips who are detained at Barcelona in confequence of the rupture with the Barbary powers, praying that the molt fpeedy means may be adopted for fending out a force adequate to their protcilion.

I; will not be heard without aflonifhment that leveral American velfels have been condemned at Algefiras, on the ground that Gibraltar is in a fl.itc of blockade. The American Government i furcly not fo deficient in fpirit as to fuffer fuch an ablurd pretence as this to be Willed upon as a ground of condemnation. &fides, this is the fiat me, as far as we recollea, that Gibraltar was klown to be in a Rate of blockade.

CLERXENIPELL SESSIONS. APPEAL DAY. Yellerday being the day appropriated for receiv ing appeals, a great number of orders for the re moval of the poor were heard and determinu.l. In one of the cafes a quellion arofe, whether the daily renting of the Royalty Theatre gave a let. tlement ? It appeared, that one Dyke, a perfor mer, whofe wife had become chargeable to the parifh, formerly rented the Royalty Theatre, at 51. the night. He held it for about two months or nine weeks, but as he was not a man of refponli bility, he paid the rent nightly. He had the key., of every part, and complete occupation. The Chairman was of opinion, that this unin terrupted occupation for two months, gave a fet tlement, and confequently his wife was fettled in the parifh where the Theatre flood. , - The woman, who was the fubjeet of tltappeal, appeared, and was of genteel addrefs ; very clean and neat in her perfon. W. MARSDEN appealed againft the Poors' Rates of the parifh of St. Luke, on the ground, that a bottle ufed as a Sunday School was not affeffed. The Court, on the authority of a former cafe, decided, that an inftitution of charity was not af felfable to the Poors Rate. W. PRINER, Efq. appealed againft the Poors Rate of fiction. It feems the parifh of Hefton are in a sate of civil difcord, refpeeling the Poors Rates. The Court lamented that the bufinefs could not he ad need by amicable reference to fome re fpeetable perfon. At prefent there was fuch a cloud of objthions Rated, as matter of grievance, it would take a whole day to go into the confider ation of them. It was therefore adjourned till next Seffions. OLD BAILEr. Yetterday 19 pi ;loners were tried, nine of whom were conviCted of f e l ony, viz. . _ _ BlGAMY.—Gbarles Dukriseux was indifted for felonioufly marrying, on the 25th of April tail, Elizabeth Provoll, his former wife being living. The Counfel Rated the cafe on the part of the profecution. He Paid, the Prifoner at the Bar was indiaed for a crime of the moft dangerous tenden- • cy, inafmnch as it plunged the virtuous and inno cent female into the depths of mifery, and pre cluded her from enjoying happinefs the remainder of her life. Tile prifoner at the bar was married on September 13th, 1795, to Either Fortier, at the Para Church of Milton, near Gravefend, and about twelve months finze he had defcrted her, and having met with a young woman of the name of Provoil, had paid his addreffes to her as a fingle man ; and, after obtaining the confent of her pa rents, was united to her on the 25th April laft at Whitechapel Church. What added to the crime was, that the unfortunate woman is now pregnant. —He was not inftrated to aggravate the cafe by Rating any thing that was untrue, and was there fore ready to give the prifoner the credit of having behaved in the moil kind and indulgent manner to his laft wife: Rill his crime called for punifh ment, and the Jury would exercife their judgment upon hearing the evidence he had to produce, and he had no doubt would he fatisfied of his guilt, and pronounce a verdict accordingly. The marriage of the Prifoner to Either Forfler on the 13th September, 1795, at Milton,•was then proved ; as alfo that the was alive five days truce. Elizabeth Provo% his 2d wife, was then called. She Rated, that the was mai-lied to the Prifoner at Whitechapel Church on the 25th of April hat, with the confent of her parents. She acknowledg ed that he had treated her with the greateft kind nefs, and that he had not married her from any lucrative nature. He informed her, a few days before he was apprehended, that he had been mar t ied before, and that he Ihould be taken up for having married her; he, however, continued to live with her until he was apprehended, which was on the ad July, in George-arcet, in the Islinories. A Mr. Collins was called to prove that at the time the firil marriage took place the prifoner was under age ; this, however, he failed to do. It was Rated, that a voluntary feparation had taken place between him and his firft wife. The Prifoner re ceived an exceeding good charaaer, and is a young man of great accomplifliments,wellacquainted with the continental languages. After his apprehenfion he offered to ailign over his houfehold furniture, and to fettle an annuity of Sol. per annum upon his laft wife, to whom it appeared he was affec tionately attached. The Learr;:d Ju•lge fummed up the evidence, and oblerved that the crime imputed to the Pri foner was of a very fcrious nature. He thought the Jury would have no hefitation in finding him guilty, as the evidence was pretty (hong, and ad nutted not of the leaft doubt. Sometimes crimes l of this fort v. ere perpetrated for the fake of gain, I and at others for the purpofe of getting polr...flion 'of the virtue ci a female who might rot he in duced to confent to a difhonourablc :talon ; in Inch cafes it was of a very aggravated nature, and call ed for the fevcrcft punilhmcnt the law inflafts.— In this cafe, which was a Ihade lighter, and in which the Prifoner had received an excellent cha railer, it remained with the Court (if the Jury Ihould be fatisf.ed of his guilt) to extend fomc de gree of mercy. The Jury, after confulting a Ihort time, found the Prifoner Guilty. The Court, during the whole of the trial, was uncommonly crowded with Ladies. The Prifoner is 25 years of age. After the ver dift was returned, he bowed very refpettfully and retired. William Rawls, for flealing thirty-fix yards of ticking, value 41. the property of James Henley, in his dwelling-hook. It appeared that the ticking in queilimi was put out at the door of the Prufe cutor for Pale, as many pieces are, half out and half within doors, and tied within. The Prifoner had contrived to Match it away, and being pur• feed, drops it Mr. Baron HOTNAM told the Jury that the meaning of the As of Parliament, making the Healing in the dwelling-houfe to the amount of .;os. a capital offence, was not that this tort roperty, put out for Ede half in and half out i f the houfe, fhould prote6ted by this penalty of Death. That was not, in common fcnfe, Reading in a dwelling-houfe. The meaning of that At of Parliament was, to protea a man from thole who really come into a houfe, and (teal property out of it, not againft ftealing that which was out at the door, as this was. Guilty of ttcaliug the goods, but not in the dwelling-houfe. Charles Miller, for ttealing three-quarters of pound of hyfon tea, the property of Mellis. Deakin and Allinfon. A'ichdat Witt, for ftealing 81b. of foap, on the 24th of July, in the parilh of Bethnal•green, the property of James Taylor and William AVhitwell. William Martin, for haling three pounds of raw coffee, the property of Metfrs. Knight and An drews. !knry Nein:, for haling from Edmund Brown while he was atleep, in his lodgings, a (liver watch and a Mk handkerchief. The Prifoner dcnicd the charge, and in his de lalce Rated that the Profecutor had frequently feen him fubfcquent to the robbery, but did not take him up. The prifoner alfo hated himfelf to be an American, without friends, or any perfon in this country to appear to his charther. The cafe not being fully made out, the Jury found him guilty only of dealing, but .not in a dwelling-houfe, which does away the capital part of the charge. Abraham Polder, for [leafing fix napkins, the pro perty of Ifrael Ifrael, on the gth of July, from a hoofe in Manchefter-fqtiare. The napkins had been fent by the Profecutor, among other articles, to be fold by andion: while the goods were upon view, the Prifoner was feen to run out of the honk, and the goods being milled, he was purfued, and during the purfuit, he was obferved to throw a bundle into an area, which proved to be the arti cles mentioned in the indiament. A number of refpeCtable tradefmen appeared in his behalf, who Rated that the Prifoner had been their neighbour, and kept a china-atop for many years in Newgate fireet ; that he had lately been unfortunate, but, to the hour of his being taken into cullody, had given them reafon to continue their good opinion of his charaeter. Upon the plainnefX of the fats the Jury found him guilty : on which the profecu tor recommended him to mercy, having himfelf known him for feveral years, and had always con fidered him as a very honed man. 7 &mar Demi:, for dealing a metal watch with a goldfeal,the property of Henry Reynolds Hinde, Efq. The Prifoner, it appeared, had lived as fervant to the Profecutor, a Lieutenant in the tft Regi ment of Foot Guards. He miffed the watch fo long fince as January, when in Barracks at Knights bridge. When he law it Lift, it was in a writing dale. In the courfe of fome months after, having occafion to fufped the Prifoner, he had him taken into cultody and fearched, when a number of du plicates were found in his poffeffion; one of thefe was for the watch in quehion, which a Pawnbro ker in Jermyn-ftreet proved be had pawned under the name of Polhill. The watch was duly identi. fled by Mr. Hinde : indeed, when the duplicate was taken from him, he acknowledged the watch 1 1 to have been his mailer's. His defence confided of a written addrefs to the Court, it was of great length, and contained the particulars of his fituation at the time, and alien ing that. his mailer was confiderably in arrears with hiss for board wages. He acknowledged he took the aiticles, but with the intention of replacing them when he had received his money ; that he lived creditably with Lords Barrymore, PeLerlham, &c. and finally threw hiruklf on the mercy of the Court. The Profecutor declared, that that part of the defence which relpeaed the nonpayment of board wages, was untrue, thefc he always paid hire re gularly ; and that he undentood the dittre:!es of the Prifoner arofe from his having gambled in the Lottery. The Court obfervcd, that allowing the allega tions of the Prifoner to be true, it could be no jut: tification of his conduit; and the Jury holding the charge fully fubltantiated, immediately found bins Guilty. yoftph Iledf,rel for dealing from the perfon of Richard Hadril a 51. note, eleven tl. notes, and a leather pocket-book. Mr. Hadril, an elderly gentleman, f.tid, he re fided at Canterbury. On the aoth of Atigutt lad he had been in Gutter-lane, in the City, Where he received the notes charged in the indiament ; atter which he proceeded with an intention of Loing to the weft end of the town. While he was palling along Ludgate-hill, dna:fly oppofite to the Old Bailey, feveral perfons pretfed round him in fuels a manner that he was not able to ;:, , et away from them. As loon as he put his hand into his pocket, he milled his pocket-book, and immediately look ing down, he faw a pocketbook exa ctly lik e hi s own in the prifoner's hand ; upon which lie charg ed him with taking it. The prifoner laid, he had no fuch thing, and offered to be fearched. The prolecutor not perceiving it any longer in the pri foner's hand faid--.. then you mull have frnitygled it away to form of your companions." A Coml.'. ble palling by at the time, took him immediately into cullody, but nothing was found upon him. Mr. Hadril had tied his pocket-book that day with a black cotton tiring, and the book which he law in the priloner's hand had jull fuch a firing tied about it in the fame manner. He never found his property lince. A gentleman refiding in Gutter-lane laid, that on the day in queftion he had given Mr. iiadril the money Rated in the indielment, which he put into fuch another pocket-book as that winch Mr. H. defcribed his to be. The priloner, in his defence, Paid, he was film'. ing that day at the pieturc-fltup oppofite thc Old- Bailey, looking at the piEtures, when the profccu tor came up to him, took hold of his arm, And charged him with dealing his pocket-book, which he had never ken, (Aid, he was by trade called fosse perfous 0% 1, or aotrn r ienv thing of. tie ide a tallow-chandler.
