I am sorry to inform you that a vessel which ar rived here this day from 'Martinique, reports, that two unsuccessful attempts have been made by the British cruizers off that island to cut out.some armed brigs from Marine and Trinity Bays, in which we have lost several men. The Master of the vessel states, that on the 18th inst. three French national brigs, with 300 artillerymen and provisions , arrived at vlartiA. nique. One of them was chased into Marine Bay by a British frigate, and the others took shelter in Trinity. The boats of the British squadron on the station were sent to cut them out, but were at each place repulsed. At Trinity, it is stated, we lost three boats and about SO men, and some boats and several , men at Marine Bay. On the 10th inst. the George Guineaman of Liver pool, was carried into Martinique, and on the 17th, another Guineaman, a letter of marque with dry goods, and a Demerara ship with produce, names unknown,, were carried into Guadaloupe. KINGSTON, ST. VINCENT, MARCH 27. Admiral Cochrane is at present off Fort Royal ; he was at Prince Rupert's (Demerara) a few days ago, when he received information of four ships having been seen standing in for Fort Royal Bay, in conse quence of which he recalled the Defence, previously dispatched for England, and proceeded off Marti nique. BARBADOES, MARCH 24. The Duke of Manchester sailed this morning in the Guerrier frigate, for his Government of Jamaica. ANTIGUA, MARCH 31. Sir A. Cochrane, who arrived here on Thursday, with the Belleisle, Ramilies, Captain, Intrepid, York. and Defence, sailed again to the southward on Sunday evening.—The Hazard, Captain Dilkes, has sent in here la Desiree privateer, of Guadaloupe, which far three years has seriously annoyed our trade. Her capture was wholly acc►dental, having in the night run close under the bows of the Hazard ; otherwise, from her superior sailing, she would have mocked the chace of any of our vessels of war. She carries two 1 long eights, and one long twelve French pounders ; had just left port provisioned for three months. APRIL .3.—The report of the capture of a French i corvette by the Acasta, is erroneous. . LAW lIVTELLIGENCF. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 14, The Court was engaged, doting the whole of the morning, in hearing an appeal against an Order of Baftardy. It appeared that one Rebecca Rickman, a female of property and condition in the County of Norfolk, had been delivered of a bastard child, and the Magistrates caused her, under the provisions of the statute of Elizabeth, to swear the child, and then made an order for her removal, in the same way as it she kad been a pauper. This order was this day ap pealed against, and it was contended that the statute of Elizabeth applied only to paupers, and not to per sons of condition, where the offspring was not likely to become chargeable. The Court, however, held a pon ! trary opinion, and said by the statute in question, con dition or no condition were alike considered charge able in the first instance, and that the Magistrites had the authority of removal.. The party, howeyer, had the liberty of giving collateral evidence to' the parish to which she was removed, of her means to pre ; vent the infant from becomiog chargeable, and if it was satisfactory, in that case the parish might dis. pense with the father's giving security. But in the first instance she must be consider e d char g eable, a n 4 I therefore the order of removal was confirmed. • The Court rose early and went into the Exchequer Chamber, to confer with the other Judges upon some Crown cases left for their opinion.
