•r"`" FOREIGN INTELLIGE!s'CE . FkANCEs - • . TOULON, AUGUST . 14.—0 n the 7th inst. the English aqua ' dron which cruises before this port, to the number of fifteen Nail of the line, four of which are three-deckers, three of 80, and eight of 74 suns; with several frigatt:s and corvettes, an eliored about five p. M. in the Bay of Hieres, out of the reach of the batteries, leaving under sail only one ship of the line and some frigates to the S. of Cape Sidle. On the Bth this squadron stisturbing the navigation of sqme ships which were on the Coast, Vice-Admiral Fmerlau set sail at day-light with 12 sail •of the line and two frigates. Notwithstanding a stroug breeze from lie North-west, he made an of f ing of eight league., driv ing away the enemy's chips that were under sail, and marcee wed the whole day in presence of the EogSish squadron, a few ships only of which sailed to watch him, During these mantru vres the vassets that were on the coast continued their voyage and proceeded to their destinatiOP. • 0,1 the 9th and 10th, there was nothing remarkable. On the 11 the English sqtradron, which hitherto had been at anchor without order, anchored in three columns. Ou'the 12th, it fired several salutes, which we presume to have been in celebration of the anniversary of the birth of the Prince of Wales. On that day, its squadron of observation • having approached the Bay of Toulon, 'Vice-Admiral Enteri iu got under way with the ships B nice, Ajax, Breslau, Ulm, and Danube, and two frigates, and chased the enemy's ships, which stoad to leeward to communicate with the rest of the :quatiron. The Frenchalivision did not return till after having colic, ted the merchantmen on the coast. Yesterday we heard, about 6 A. M. several discharges of ar tillery in the Bay of Hyeres ; it was the English sqradron get ting under way, several ships having neared the battery des Mcdes, were fired upon, and returned the fire. The cannon ade was very brisk for some minutes between that battery and three English ships cf the line, two of ..vhieh were three-deck ers. We hat) two nun slightly wounded ; but the enemy were eager to sheer off. On hearing this cannonade, the Viee-Ad rniral Enteriau embarked on board the Maananime, which was at the mauth of the harbour, in order to he able more estilyito reconnoitre the movements of the enemy, and he was followed by twelve sail of the line and three ft igates. The English squadron resumed its anchorage, only leaving some ship= of the line ender sail, which his Majesty's squadron forced to keep a good eels. It•remained the who e day at sea executing divers manativres, and did nut return into port till night. It is a magnificent sight for the inhabitants to see these squa drons, which for six days have been watching each other—the activity of his Majesty's squadron presents a most imposing spectacle. 'I he enemy appear to wish, by their sending out boats, to take soundings; but RearaAdrhiral L'lriermite has sent several light vessels to the Isles to drive away those which may attempt approaching them.

The defendant, himself, ho),yevcr, aLldressed the Court, and said, that he could not dispense with her :agendum's that it was as much her can-e as his; Anti that he a; •4 requirsil her assistance in taking notes. as he btniself was deal. The se quel of the case however showed that was a u ice pretext, antt explained the reason of his reluctance to suffer her to leave hiot for a moment..she was suffered to ,tay. Mr. Woodhouse, fur the complainant, stated, that this was a suit in equity, brought to se aside a bond far ito,lxorupeia, eat:cued hy the complainant in favour of the defendant's wiff, on the ground of its having been vx.torted from hart by fear and without consideration. The csomplainant and the defendant married two sisters, the daughters of a Mr. West, of this place, the former in July, :Ira the latter in October, 1809; from which time till the 7th of December, the famines of the complainant and the defendant had conitantly visited each on the kindest and most cordial terins. But on the 7th of December last, Mr. R. S. Kitson, the corn. pl inanc, being in a go-down, superintending the stowing away some bales of cotton, was surprised by Captain 5....ie. corrOlg up to him, and charged . him withilay.ng taken unlawful lib/r. ties with Mrs. S. previous to her marriage. Mr. Kitson having positively denied the charge, was requested by Captain S. to rL tire with hint to the complainant's room at the builder or to the tavern. lr. Kitson having refused to do this, Captain S. went SO a neighbouring shop, and wrote the following note to Mr. Kiir. son Stet- 7 You have taken improper and unlawful liberties with your wife's sister, whom I no longer look on as Mrs. 8-o—. Yf you wi,h to *save yourself and, family from utter ruin, thrseW yourselfon my mercy and generosity as she has done. An mediate answer is c.enuinded by JOHN STERLINE3. The defendant wasted some time to finish his business, then went to his Lther-in-law's, where he received three messeges from ‘ , terling, destritsg his attendance at the builder, and on a negative being ret - ..rned to each, Sterling went at last to the fattier-in-law's, where he found Mr. Kitson with his wife and mother-in-law. The defendant's conduct on this occasion was 40 t IS to txcite considerable alarm in the minds of Mrs. W. and Mrs. K. He addressed himself to the complainant in menacing I .nguage, and protesting that he would be his utter ruin, put into his hands the follow.ng letter ; Ste—l have already put you in possession at the charge I have to prefer against you—if you are determined to persist in dein*• ing the truth, forgive me if ruin falls on you and the family ; yon arc as well aware from your own feelings as I can express in words what the state of mine ate at this moment. lam never. theless ready t., make a .iscritice of what has happened for the welfare of all parties, on condition that YOU declare to me the' truth, the whole truth, and nothing hilt the truth so help you, God, as Madam has already done. I wait with impatience for your written Lnswer, and request you will enter all par&tilurs t to the full extent, and the time, place, Ste. at which the lihr rtirs took place between you and her. that I may thereby be prevesete ed fcumtaking further proceedings, which are determined on in case of a refusal and want of candour.
