LAW INTE I.IG.EWC:E. SPOR rt N G.—Laft Wednefday, a hag fox, rived by the Brighton Hunt, and referved for a future day's fport, was again turned out and killed, after a chace of about fifty minutes. The PRINCE'S harriers on the fame day, hunted a hare fa gallantly to the edge of Lcwcs river, near Landport, that poor puts, to efcape them, found herfelf compelled to crofs the water ; but being followed by the huntfman and fomc others of the field, the fell a victim to her keen purfuers. The fame day, the Brookfide hounds killed a leafh of hares, and ran a fourth fo hard, that the was taken up alive, and is now in keeping for the diverfion of pedettrian hunters, before whom the ' is to be turned out on the Downs. The Earl of ECREMONT'S fox-hounds arc, we hear, in the courfe of the prefcnt week, to take the field, on this fide of Shoreham river, for the gra tification of the amateurs of that fpecies of hunting. Though long fence our grand-mothers told us, that new fafhions are but the revivals of old ones, We did Snot fufpea there was a 'precedent for the prefcnt mode of difplaying Shoulders, arms, and cars.

The celebrated mufician Luccv (fays a Paris Journalift) having hurt one of his toes, in beating time with a cane, the fore, from being neglected, became fo ferious as to threaten his life. His Con feftor, teeing his critical !fate, told him, that un lets he burnt what he had compofed of his new Opera, in order to fhew his repentance for having made fo many operas, he had no chance of abfo lution. LILLY obeyed, and the Confeffor with drew, after giving him abfolution. M. Le Due called to fee him foon after, and laid, " What ! and you have burnt your Opera ; and you are really fuel' a ninny as to believe in the abiitrdities of that Janfenin, your Confeffor ?"

At Patton there was - a depofit of clothes and provifions def. tined for the poor of that city. This magazine fell into the hands of the French. The Archduke immediately wrote to General MoREAU to ac quaint him with its dedination, and to intrcat him to fpare it. The clothes and provifions were dd= tributcd among the poor, and General Molt Eau wrote back, that he would never appropriate to his own use what had been dzitined for the of indigence. The Felon who made his &ape out of r ;n•n mad, is facctioully faid, in a provincial paper, to have paired the Jailor difguifed like a woman, A young runic, in the neivhhonrhnod of Car rifle, went lift week, at a late hcur, to via- his fweetheart; but finding the 'ionic locked up, and the family in bed, he thought he might presume upon his intimacy to take one other father's horles to facilitate his return home.

HENRY PETER STACEY is appointed a Chaplain at the Prefidency of Bengal. Mr. and Mrs. WHITE, late of Salifbury, were among the palrengers in the Q.IEEN tall-India man, who proceeded for 13eng.il by the KENT., Letters have been received from Mr. WHITE, hating their fife arrival and molt hofpitable re-' ception at Calcutta, where they continued in good i health and fpirits on the 19th of October. Among the pafrengers on board the KENT Eaft- 1 Indiaman, taken by a French privateer in the Bay of Bengal, was Mifs Lucy Raab, daughter of Mr. l RAND, of Lewes. Mifs RAND failed irom Europe I in May laft, on board the Q . t .. : EEN, which was burnt off St. halvador, and prosidentially raved from that danger by going on (Fiore a few hours before• the accident. The above young lady was landed fife, with the other palfengers, at Calcutta, where the remained in good health when the overland difpatch left Bengal. A letter from a young Man in the Britifh artil lery, who went out with Sir SIDNEY SMITH in Auguft 1799, on the Expedition to the liege of Acre, dated Bethlehem, Judea, Feb. tBOO, to his friends hi Shropflfire, gives the following account of that country : " After the liege of Acre, we marched to the city of Samaria, in Galilex, where we lay fix weeks, when we got orders to proceed to Jerufalem ; we paffed by the land of Sodom the loth of January, and encamped the 26th on the Mount of Olives, near Jerufalem, and upon the 2d of February marched into that city. The religion here that of Mahomet, and there arc a great num ber of pilgrirps. The city, which is about as large as Dundee in Scotland, is 45 miles from the fea ; the fineft building in it is a Temple, (formerly dedicated to the Sun, but now belong- I ing to the Turks) ; there is another Temple built I ever the place where our SAVIOUR was buried, and an image of the VIRGIN MARY of gold, to which the pilgrims pay their devotions; there is to be feen, likewife, the cleft of the rock which rent when our SAVIOUR gave up the ghoft. We lay there three weeks, and then came to this town, namely Bethlehem, ten miles from Jerufalem. This town is about as large as Perth, with fome fine ftrects in it; the place where our SAVIOUR was born is now covered with a chapel, (aboutas large as the fteeple of the church in Dundee), where the Chrif tian worship is performed. " The moll remarkable thing in this country is thelcheapnefs of provifions, dtc. Wine is to be had at two-pence per bottle; lemons, one penny per dozen : oranges, the fame ; figs, three half pence per pound; butter, milk, and elieefe, silo very plenty. It may with great propriety be hill ailed the Land of Promife, a land flowing with milk and honey; for there is every thing in great abundance : in fhort, this country alma wants for nothing, money being very little ufed. I got a theft made at Jerufalem of the wood of Lebanon, for two fhillings, which would have colt me two guineas in Britain." Mode of determinist: the Ceurfrof the (Vern! Cur. rent: ,a Ocean.—Sr. Pa Elia, in a paper read be fore the French inflitute, (hews the ale which might be made of bottles or other fubftanees made water-tight, fo as to float upon the lea, and thrown overboard in certain latitudes, in order to deter mine the courfe of the different currents in the ocean. He mentions the fate of three experiments thus tried. The firft was a bottle thrown over board in the Bay of Bifcay, Aug. 17, 1786, from an Englifh fbip going to the Eall Indies. It was taken up by fome Mimi-men on the coaft of Nor mandy, May 9, 1787. two leagues off &ore from Aromanches. C.

The third was rown into 'sof F and th was picked lIIGII COURT Or ADMIRALTY, MARCII so. An appeal came on to be heard before Sir Wit.- LIAM SCOTT, ngaintt the condemnation of a vela bound from SafFee, on the Coaft of Africa, to I lamburgh,which had been captured off the 'ext2l 4 during the blockade of that ifland, and condemned as a good prize. His Majefly's Advocate was heard on behalf of the captors. He fithinirted, that the veffel's real deflination was to Amfierdam. This had bcea proved by the papers found on board, and that her deflination being !Wed to be for Hamburgh. was only a colourable pretext, as the was taken in a contrary dire ion from that place. On thefe grounds he contended, that judgment ought to go for the captors. On the other fide, Dr. LAWRENCE was beard for the owners of the fhip and cargo. IL flated they were Mauritians, and of cowrie could not be ftippofed to know of any blockade having taken place at Hamburgh, living at fo great a &dance, and being ignorant of the language of this coun try. Betides, the Emperor of Moro co l ing a: peace with England, they were not bound to obey any reltrilion a Power with whom they ware at peace chofe to fet up. The letters were an writ ten in Arabic ; and it appeared that a number of articles on board the flip were fent as prefents to his brother by the (hipper, who requelted him to fend fume religious books in return. He contended there was not the leaft intention of evading the laws prcfcribed by this nation, as they were not ap prifcd of any blockade being intended; and it seas a fad, that fever 44 of our own (hips knew nothing of the circumflance until fome time after it had taken place. He contended, that under thcfc cireumltances, the fhip and cargo ought to be reflored. The Learned Judge deferred giving Judgment till a future day. couRT OF COMMON PLEAS, MARCH 6. SAUNDERS V. SCOTT, HQ:. This cafe perhaps deferves a little attention from Government. The outlines of it were Ilion ly thefe : The Plaintiff; Mr. Saunders, is au Army-Tay lor, and brought this A6tion againtt Captain Scott, who commands a Company of the South Hamp fhire Militia, to recover the firm cf the amount of one hundred pair of pantaloons, which the Defendant had ordered for his men, and which the Plaintiff contended were wade according to his order. The fubltance of the Captain's order to Mr. Saunders was, that thefe pantaloons fhould be blue, and the fame as the white pantaloons (alluding to (me he had fitrnifhed before for the regiment). The price he charged was to , . Nr pair ; and no fewer than nine Army-Tavlorswere called by Mr. Serjeant SHEPHERD, cn the p.trt of the Plaintiff, who lworr they were well wc:th p:r pair, and one of than faid he would act make Inch pantaloons under los. 6d. Mr. SCOTT made a very able fpeech for the D.:fend:tut, in which be chiefly contended three things :—tll, Thtt thefe pantaloons were not fent to Captain Scott in proper time ; airily, That they were not of a quality ft to be fent ; and 3dly, That the pike was unreafonal)le. Colonel Mitford and fume ollicr very T.:fp:eta ble Gentlemen were called to fubilantiate the De fendant's cafe. An Army-Taylor from Winchef ter As ore, that thee pantaloons were not worth more tkan 7s. 6d. per p:tir, and raid he Could be extremely happy, at this prefent time, to make ten thoufand pair, in every rape& as good, at that. price. When he was afked whether the price of lalsottr was not lower in Winchefter than is Lon don ? be faid, if there was any difference, it was rather higher at Winchefter. Another witlpfs from Yorkilire coincided, in almolt every particular, with the evidence uf the laff witnefs. 1.01',1 ELDON, after hearing all the evidence on both tides, and the freechesot Counfel, fummoned up the whole cafe to the Jury, and made a great number of important and pleaftnt obfervatio'ts upon it. The quetlion for their decition was, Whether the price v.hich the Plaintiff had putupon there pantaloons, was rcafonable, and whether they were eipirl in quality to the white panta loons ? 11 the Jury were of opinion that the price was reafionahle, and that they were equal in quality to the white, they would find for the Plaintiff up to the full extent of his demand ; but if they were of another opinion, their Verdit would be for the Defeudant.—lireb.lforD.flany. His Lorelfhip, after the cattle was over, requefl. ed the Gentlemen who offered to make ten thou. land pair of thefe pantaloons, of equal quality, at 7s. CA a pair, to call at the Office of the Sc. cretary at War ; his Lordlhip thought if he could do v‘ hat he Lad offert.d, Government would attend to him.
