Doves, Oer. :56—The Duro, George, and Mary brigs, with wine from Oporto, for this place and London, arrived here this day; when they failed, Portugal was expeded to be invaded every day.-- Sailed for Sheerneh the SCORPION (loop of war launched here a few days deice, to be fitted for Tea with all poffible difpatch : She is a very fine veffel of her clots. Every thing teems quite at prefent on the French coal : the gun beats at Boulogne, Calais, &c. keep dote in their harbours, and our cruisers are conflitay watching them sz-ritit i Ming boat an get out. Ocrosas before left, the Pluto fioop of war, fromDongenefs, anchored in our Road. Previ ous to her leaving the Nds, a cutter had arrived there from the toaft of France, the mailer of which Rated , fhifGederal Mamma, who is entrufted with the , samitattil of the army from Boulogne to Oftend, had Lately gives directions to have the troops immediately hutted, apirthat many thonfand labourers are now employed in`cirrfing this order into execution. As this intelligence comes through a very re fpatable medium, little doubt can reafonably be entertained Of its au. theaticity ; but whit ire we to infer frOm it ? is it tI manoeuvre of the enemy to put us off oor guard; or has BONAPARTI changed his plan of operations, and atfedred not to venture himferf or his army over tbr scb during the winter? A queftion arifes on this occa too, which has not efcaped our attention. May not the ordergiren for hutting the French troops along the coal, irliesce the embarkation is intended to take place, be a iersossirre adopted by the Corfican, for I the purpofe of throwing us drvor guard? If this be his intention, he will, Molt affuredly, be deceived; but the probability is, at leaf we think to, that Bo- garaera has changed his plan of opciations for the preknt, and will not venture &wig or bet droty on dor "woo during the winter feafun. The Weft India fleet are now palling ; the Catha tine, of London, W. Sr E sc mailer, from Jamaica, landed D. Hv lame, C. HYMAN, and jolt Ur Kam, paffengers.

The (pot weft of the pier -head. on which Town. :end's battery formerly Rood, has been furve}ed, and it is thought will immediately be repaired and guns planted pre it.

The con futon that the place was thrown into from the fud den attack prevented the inhabitants from ambling together, and at half pail fevers the Commilfary fur rendered the ifland, by delivering the colours to Lieutenant Davies. From what has been fince learned there is no doubt, that, if the inhabitants could have had time to have collettcd themfelves frOM th&r different fituations, they woold have made a (hong refatAnce, haring Since discovered upwards of ope hundred Stand of arms among them.

George Girton, a Box-place•keeper at Covent• Ga rden Theatre, was indiaed for violently alfaulting ISAAC SAMUELS A foreign Jcw, on the night of the 28th of March lad. The pmfecntor dated, that on the above night he went to the theatre, accompanied by his wife and a young lady, to lee the comedy of yobs BuP, and perceiving the slats in the door of the blx No. 48 broke, he looked into the box, and ob ct-iving nobody in it, he concluded it was not taken, and put 13it fund through the hole to open the door, there being no boa•keeper near; and having opened the door, he was about lifting up the back feat to go in, when the pr toner came from the next box, and pulhed him away, frying he timid not come in, and forced him and the ladies nut of the box, and ;mail ed him u it:, a deal of abufive language .into the lob by, and gave h;m 7. moll violent blow under his right eye, whir.: caufcd the blood to Oh out of hi. nide, and he bled for a confiderable time, and the next day his eye was doled and vel y John tdwards faid, he was in the lobby of Covent- Garden theatre on the laid night, and hearing the fcreams of two females, he went to the fpot from whence it proceeded, when he found the prifoner in the lobby making ufe of the moll abutive language, and the ladies appeared extremely terrified ; the pro fecutor's wife begged of the prifoner not to ufe 11.:r hatband ill, but on his remunfiratiom v.;th him on the impropriety of his conduCt, he abufed him and at length gave th.: profecutor a moil dreadful blow, Wi,2l the molt favage ferocity, under his sight eve ; upon which, a very great difcharge of blood came from his nofe ; this clofed the eye of the profecutor. On the part of the defendant, Mr. Brandon, the box and houfe-keeper, a gentleman defervedly and univerfally eneemed, was called, who proved that the whole of the box which the profecutor endeavoured to enter on the above night was taken. JohnlWilfon a place kecper (aid, he was keeping the box Po. 47, and the prifoner, while keeping No. 48, fat on the back feat, fo that no perfon looking through the glafs, could dillingnint any perfon in it ; and he law the profecutor put his hand throagh the hole ; the prifoner remonfirated, hut the profecutor petalled, and at length opened the door, when the pritancr told him the box was taken and he -could not come in, this did nut deter the profecutor from entering and putting up the feat, when the prifoner, who flood at the door, put up his arm to prevent him, and the pro fecutor gave him a violent blow; he denied that the prifoner made ufe of any abdive language, and af. ferted, that he concluded himfelf with the greaten propriety. Ralph Walls, a box-keeper, raid, he employed the ptifoner to keep the box No. 48, and that the whole of the box was taken by one party ; he did not know any thing of the origin of the dirpute, but acknow. kdged he few the ptifoner give the profccutor the blow on the eye : upon which he was stilted by the Court why ht did not take him into coliody ? to which he anfwered, be did not take any notice of it. as dir. plates were fu common in the theatre. He was like• wife sifted by the Court, if he heard the women feream ? he laid he did ; but the fcreams of women were Co frequent iu the lobby, that be did sot no. rice them. The Cmatastlll 9 in fumming up the evidence, nb. terved, that this trial was of Come importance to the public, as it regarded the management of a theatre, to which all deferiptions of perlons retorted ; and it ought to be condi:lied in the moll chafe and orderly manner: and he lamented be could not fay that was the cafe with our public places of amufement in ge neral. When profecutions came from the theatres to punifh offenders for improper condo& the Court al ways punithed with a heavy hand, as it ought to do; as any difturbance at pl.tces, where numbers of perfons *trembled, was extremely daoverous to the public peace ; and doled with ohferving, that although the evidence had, in tome degree, been contra,ii..:Ty, with refpc& to the blow being given by the peace°. tor to the prifoner, yet fuppofing that to be the cafe, the prifoner was not junitied in followinl him into the lobby, and tliiking him, for then he was taking the law into his own hands; or, if the profecutor had ftruck him, why was a profecution not inflittited ? The Jury found him and he was ientenced to pay a fine of tol. to the King. Isam Swart, the elder, and friPiew Swart. the younger, were inditted for aaTaulting Elizabeth War ren, in Crown -court. St. James, in September lath The profecutrie it the wife of a man who had 101 l a leg in the ferrice of his country, and who coakquest ly was neither to able or Olive in the defence or his wife as he would have otherwife been. The ?eon dams appeareJ, from fume unaccountable cOns4 4 to have entertained confiderable rancour and animfity againit the profecutrix. On the day metitioned in the indittment, the heard one of her childiea cry in the court ; the went down, and law the junio'n defendant who had been beating the child. She eked what had happened ? He raid he would Lrve the perc ent& m the fame manner. He ihch gave her reve re, blows, and in this brutal condet he was comfort ed and encouraged by his father. The ;adult was farther proved by Mrs. Dungan, a very large woman,• whom the Learned Ct,unfel (fated to be a great W . , c.f evidence. She ['wore that the law Matter Smart Its ike and kick the child attic profecutrix, and that on her remonftrating with him, he allo Struck the profecu trix, his father cheering him all the time, by laying, " beat her brains out." Mr. CONST addreffed the Jury in behalf of the de fenJarts : be fail it was inipt bibis to fet up any de fence againft an affetilt tworn fo very pofitively as the prelent. Were he, however, to draw any inference from the app.zarance of the proTerutrix, he amnia fay that (he seas not inacceffible to terms of morn mndaticn. Neither of the partici., he believed, could afford much in O.: way of law, and certainly they ought to have adjulled matters among themfelvcs, and nut have come before a Jury with To fiivoirrts charge. ,The jury found William Smart, fen. Not Guilty ; and found William Smart, the younger, Guilty. The Court fentenced him to pay a fine of fix guineas. George Allen was next put to the Bar, charged with Reeling two Slyer table fpoons, the property of Fran.. cis Molyneux Omilly,Efq. on the 22d of September 14. It appeared in this cafe, that the prifoner was the fervant of Mr. Omilly. When the fpoons were taken away by him, the profecutor lived with his brother. in-law. The fpoons and other articles of plate were in the prifoner's cultody. The piofecutor had gone ' out of town on the day mentioned in the indiament, and on his return next monling he miffed the fpoons. The manner in which the prifoner was flopped was fomewhat fingular. He took the fpoons to the (hip of Mr. Gordon, pawnbroker, in St. Martin'ilane.— Mr. Gordon was in the country ; but the lad in the (hop, on taking the fpoons from him, was afraid they were not his own. He was confirmed in this fitfpicion. by obferving a crell on the handle of the fpoons, and the initial letters of Mr. Omilly's name. He afked the prifoner whether the fpoons were his? He replied they were not, but the property of a man who lived in the fame houfe with him. The lad was not fatis. fled with this reply, and preffed him farther. He then (aid they were his own, and after equivocating farther, Paid they were the propel ty of his mailer.— The young man detained him, and fent fur a conga. Lie, who took him into cullo3y. The prifoner made no defence aoainli the material part of the charge. He admitted having offered the fpoons to pawn, but urged in extenuation of his of. fence, that he had that evening been called on by a friend from the country. That he was dcilitute of money wherewith to treat this friend, and that he had meant to raife a trifle by pawning his Mailer's fpoons; which he pofitively meant to redeem next day. By the humanity of the Mailer, the value had been re duced to tod.—The jury found him Guilty. Sen tence was not palled on this delinquent. The Chairman highly prai(ed the atlivity and in telligence of the pawnbroker's young man. Lathering Irferri4 was incli&ed 1. :scaling two pound weight of feathers, the property of James Beasley. living in Difee-flreet, Wellmintler. Mr. Beazley is an army accoutrement maker. and Mrs. Beazley is a military feather.maker. She had employed the prifoner in that capacity, both bygiving her work to do at home, and keeping her an her honk. A woman named Hooper, who alto worked for the profecutriz, in the month of Augnft, a quantity of fcarlet and green feathers, which Mrs. Beazley put afide by themfelves. Early to September Mrs. litxper took down this parcel, and obferving a great deficiency, Aced her miflrefs if the had ufed any of the feathers, as a great number were gone.— Stifpicion arofe in Mrs. Ntazley's mind againft both Hooper and Merrick, and the m.ide them deliver the keys of their reipettive apartment,. In that of Mer. rick the feathers were found. Mrs. Beetle) , fwore pofitively to the bags in which they were contained, as being her own handwork. The feathers fire alfo raid were her's. They were of a peculiar kind, called via ?t&rres. The prifoner acknowledged Realiog them when taken to Marlborough flreet. Mr.. Beazley added, much to her honour and humanity, that the was not aanated by any malice or ill will againft the prifoner. She rather believed that didrefs had urged her to the commiflion of the offence, as the had an aged father depending on her for esiltence. She had been very intimate with tome foldiers and drummers who live in Weftminfter, and it was more then pro habit, in Mrs. Beazley's opinion. that the brad been ft:mutated by them to commit the theft. The Jury found her guilty,but recommended her to mercy. The Court fentenced her to be imprifoned for (even days. Antiroji Fernier and laitiektb Rigzs, were indiatd for Reaping a quart pewter pot, the property of John Franks, of Brook-fireet. The Profccutor Rated that the prifoners called for a pint of beer at his honk, which they drank and paid for. He did not mite any thing ; ►ut they were purfued in confequence of fome porous faf i reding they had ft4lers a bundle of muffin, which til' had with them. The prifoners were taken to Mattrawonghltreet Office, charged with Reeling fome muffin, and on fearching a bundle which they had, the cu tit go* was found, and they were proved to have been in Mr. Franks's bottle in the courfe of the day. The prifoner 1 7 , rtune is a Frenchman : he (aid he had been is years in the fervice of the E.tr: of Et-t!. keit!). and that that Noble Lc knew Fieli:y. Since he left his Lnrdthip he had lived in Sablunier's Hotel, in Leicefter•Cquare and had always born an konefl charaaer. The prifoner Riggs is an Englifh. woman, and her fituation excited the pity of a crowded Court ; The lived a fellow fervant with For. tune, and flcioJ at the birorerwhelmed in tears, with a child at her breall which the had by Fortune; the ackowledged her folly in cohabiting with him.
