We took in our studdiog-sails, square-rails, &c., wore and run under his lee, on the starboard tack, distset from him a good cable's length. Ile sent his boat along-side, w ben the above questions sere repeated, which we an sacred as before; likewise asked the schooner's and master's name, what cargo? and was answered a general cargo for Genoa, Leghorn, and Stoma. About 6ve minutes after his boat left U. he bore up, and run right on board of us; his ancho► ' taking our gunwale before the main rigging, and while be lay is that siteation, fired a gen ia the wake of the fore-rigging, which severed the body of Mr. Walker, passenger, and wounded two others, nsesely, his servant, Alexander M'Casile, in the right arm and band, and likewise his face, and Charles IVaterson, seaman, in the eyes, Lod blew se veral boles ie the main-sail. Haying levered the peak to get clear of him, they were on the point of firing two other gene, when we bailed him repeatedly, sod told him we were English. We fortunately got clear without his assi ss arms s he never seat a hand to bear off, or satisfy us at all. We got our square-sail art, and were proceedieg on our course, when he hailed es a second time, and ordered us to heave to : he then sent a boat along-side, with an Officer. in Captain's uniform, and endeavoured to represent it as an accident; he was very civil, and apologised, say. lag, that • Patriot brig had taken a Spaolsh frigate, with half* million of dollars on board.

AIDING, EVASTArr, AND DOODEV• Mr. WINGFIELD slated, he was iostrActell lo ranee that the Defendants should be committed to the FlO.l Prison, for having arrested and confined the P:sintilf, iu contradiction to an injunction which had been re. galarly obtained, to prevent proceedings in any action betw►en them respecting money which might be doe to Defendants. It appeared that Ibe Plaintiff lied agreed to take certain premises from Joseph Ardis`, the husband of ono of the Dofendants, on condition t►at those premises were pot in proper repair. No re pairs were, however, done, and the Plaintiff cons,- goenily refused to perform the agreement. Ao ac tion for rent was brought on by Joseph Arden, and the Plaintiff obtained an injunction to stay all loco. reeding., notice of which was served on the ten first Defendants, who lied become tors of Jos. Aides on big decease. This Deterred two or thine mouths ago, and nothing seemed to be carried on it, the suit until late in the evening of Saturday, the With June Is‘t, when the Plaintiff was arrested by Dobbin, an Officer belonging to eke Palace Court, for a year's rent due, it was said, to the other two Defendant,. Ilse Plaintiff requested that he might ba conducted to his solicitor, in Grey's Inn, where the person act ing for his solittor informed the Officer, that the Plaintiff bad been arrested contrary to an injunction of the Court of Chancery. N 4 arrangem►nt with the Defendant, could then be effected, sad the Plain tiff was obliged to remain in prison until the follow log Monday, when he was libersted on giving bail. The VticiCifascit.r.on —" llnw can this nen. tied affect the Shrrill's Officer ? He is bet a plastic nt, and was bound so execute the 'sit. If he could be sent on the mafiosi to the Fleet l',ison, so also might the Sheriff.. Pablic je-tice requires that he should sot be included in the motions. Is year sp. plication sepported by an 'Advil'?" Mr. WINGFIELD preemie(' to state, that it was established by the affidavit of the Pleintiff, and also be an affidavit made by Temperance /Wins, the Defendant, Med subsequently to that of the Plain. tiff, in which the facts were admitted. Ile was in. erected to move, that thy Defendants should be com mitted for a contempt of the orders of the Court. Mr. PARKER, in eatensation of the conduct of the Defendants, stated that the iris of Jo.eph Ardine, 'mine seen public adveltisements, from which it appeared, that George Basset, the Plaintiff, was about to sell all his stock in trade, and to leave business, entertained fears that she would eceive the rents of the preoni.e., In which she, es treat..., was entitled, and that she, therefore, caused the Plaintiff to be arrested on the evening af ar the sale. The VIOL-Cuswctt.Lost.-i-" She ought to hams pot io an answer, and to have dissolved the Jujus. lion before she should proceed to such a vane I as afraid I oast order her to be committed, if the Plaintiff's Counsel insists on it." Mr. Wisarisho said, that he was instrecied to um for her commitment. For the Plaintiil on his arrest, no terms woold be accepted. Ile ems impri sooed for toroth's, and at length famed to give bail to procure his liberation. Mr. PARKER 'red, that she was but a trustee foe others, and bad acted es such. The Solicitor for the Plaintiff said, that she was trustee for herself, as she had the property in her own eight daring life. Ile had on the *betting of the arrest, given notice, not only to the officer but to the other parties, of the t being contrary to the injunction; but his exertions were ineffectual, be could not bring them to any arrangement. The Vzcz•Coaxcltaoe.7--" 4t Ibis elation stand over till the my Seal, and perhaps, in the interval, the parties may settle the matter between themselves. If on arrangement taker place before that day, I feat I shall he obliged to make an order far bet commit. sent, in consequence of the breach of the In junction." WATIRS V. TAILOR. Mr. Itouert.t. moved, that the party in this case, who were ascend by the agreement to fosters the Opers.lfouse, at 210'01., should comply with the agreement its the proper form, by having it insured in the names of the eiecut -Is of the original pro. prieior, ohn mere, Mr. Serj.alt lions and Mr. Serjostit Marshal.

This leas an Indictment against all the Defendants for a Criminal Conspiracy and Combination, to re gulate the trade of coach•making, to impose certain regulations upon the masters and journeymen in the said trade, and by insisting no certain roles respect. ing the boors of work, the rote of wages, &c. to being the master cnach•makers thtoughoot this king dom, within the controul and direction of their jour neymen, against the %tote, Ice. T. Willey, the younger, had disappeared, and did not plead; William Penton had died since the present bill was found ; and the rest of the Defendants war now on their iris!. Mr. GURNEY, With his wonted perspicuity, staled the case for the prosecu►ion. He stated, that in the course of the last year the master courhgnakets of London accidentally discovered that their journey men in the various branches of the trade, each as body-soskers, trireme's, smiths, rpring•mskers, bad entered into a general combination for whet they t►rmed the regulation of the trade, that less to say, to raise their wages, grorlet the hoar. of working, circumscribe the number of apprentices to be Won het •ibing the mode of carrying combinators bad artfully commenced then operations ander pretence of forming a society upon the prig. rip', recommended by the Leon Ware, ender the do nomination of Friendly Serielie+, and professing the object of periodical subscription, for aiding each other in time of sickness, old age, or debility ; and the better to cover their real designs, they had pub lished a book of tegoilatioel, in which they artfully Inserted a resolution disclaiming all design of combi natioo for the reghlation of their trade. lint they had also published another book of regelations, of a quite opposite character, which was to be kept a profouod sorrel from all bat the persons actually en. gaged le this conspiracy. Those secret iegulations formed a code, by which all the journeymen employed iu the different brioches of the roach•making trade were organized into classes, assuming the deoomios. Hun of the Revolutionary Committees is France.— There was the Committee of Poblic Safety, the Com mittee of Finance, the Committee of Correspondeoce, the first, second, and third classes, together with a va inly of other diotinctive orders; sod it prescribed a code of fines and penalties upon ell persons presum ing to traogrees the rules prescribed by the leading Committee of Combination, from five skilliugs up to twenty guineas, for each Greece, upon persoos of 'the conspiracy, so transgressing any of the rules end regulations laid down by the leading Committee ; and denounced perpetual expulsion to any person of the body who ahosld be found the third time transgressing such roles; the fine of twenty guineas was to he ie. posed spun every person who presumed to Gettay the ',teat of those private articles. Means sera foetid to promulgate thole laws through all the jour. liftmen employed in the coach-looking trade, net only in London, and all England, bat throughout the British Empire ; all prisons in the trade within the same, were it's it'd to join the combination, and declared intitied to its advantages, end liable in its penalties, teithost any regard to country. It was also discovered, that this system was not of so recent en institution as 1818; but had commenced early in the year 1810, arid had been con docted with such secrecy as to elude all vigilance and escape dig. I covery, until the year 1518, when it was acci. dentally found out from the contents of a parcel di rected to a coach-maker, at Hesditi.l, in Berk ; shire; the conspirators had, during the period of two years, been collecting fonds to sustain their system, and had accumulated sufficient to support Ithose who relinquished, or might be dismissed frog their employments in support of this system. Their eircolsr, directed to the coach•snakers of Reeding, stated, that they had a fend of 20001. to sustain their object, and to pretest any member who refused to comply with their claims, frrm having journeymen to carry on their trade; but the combination was not to be confined to the coach-making erode, but to en. tend generally to the journeymen in event other trades, who, from their foods collected in like into. our, and for similar purposes, were to advance loans of money to support the journeymen coach-makers is their exertions for the common cause ; and a suss of 8001. was offered by one body, for the monies.. So soon as the object was tried and successful is the metropolis, it was to be extended to every part of 1 the kingdom. This conspiracy was carried on by as incalculable aember of persons, from shoe Bus Defendants, es the most active and formidable, were selected for prosecution and example; and the chief ringleader in this bosioest was the Defendant Connell, a man of shrewd understanding, activity, and address, and therefore 111010 formidable and den. germ. They went so far as to send a formal 'mei. tation to masters to join them in this conspiracy, on !rendition that no journeymen should work for any master mot regularly brought op to some branch of the coacli-mtking trade, or who refused to join this combination. Bat the masters, with the good sense and moderation which belonged to them, not only refused to join a combination that must subject them. selves to prosecution, for so grins a violation of the la woshich would amount to a criminal misdemeanour; bat they resolved to use their best assertions, is a legal way, to dissolve this dangerous knot, so pregnant with injury and rain to their trade, and to the in. dewy and peace of their country, by bringing the offenders to punishment, according to law; end hs frosted that the result of this trial would prove to every desctiption of enenbinators throughout this citatory, that legal mesas were not wanting to defeat , their during machinations, and that such rejoins( conduct must not be carried ell with impiously. The proceeding, in this cause were confidently es. towed to occupy the Court till le at night. The De. fondants ha. separated themselves into Clllllll, each with its separate Counsel and ground of defence.... Fifty sit witnesses were to be etatained; firs only of whom were interrogated, namely. Mr. G Brown, of Reading, Mr John Judge, Mr. Wiliam flopkio. see, Mr. Lake llopkioson, Mr. William Walter.— ' Mr. Luke Hopkinson underwent a second ezamins. lion far nearly two hours; and after his etaraination was concluded, the two books of Regulations, alluded to hy Mr. Gentry, were proved by Mr.G.

In order to avert the danger which otherwise might thrnien the destruc tion of the whole edifice, the experienced miner causes these to explode in their infant state by igni tion, and thus nips in the bed the mischief to be e;iprelseeJed. Now, Sir, without the least pretension to my being clearer sighted t►an yourself, it struck me that it was possible that our Sgele-seiners might apish, wish the same vitt*, to explode the combustible matter which also appears to be fast gathering its our political st nsoephere, as tee dangerous to be much longer allowed I.
