LAN ItiVlLLwirm. AMUR kI.TY C94.litf, -Amin 0. • THE siNe •- Sentenr:: was pronounced this dal iu this in teresting cans,. It was a case of skew between the captor., who were Englids, and the American owners of the American ship Seenne. , The ship had sailed from Baltimore as a neutral trader, and was captured off the coast of Spain by &French privateer ; and as the captors wore concluding their prize to the enemy's port, one of our crtisers re captered the American, and brought her into an English port, to which country she was originally bound. The captors contended, that they were en titled to salvage from this neutral vessel, inasmuch as the re-capture took piece sabseonent to the lit cree of time French iimperor, issa.d is November last, against all persons on the' Continent who should carry on ant commerce with England, until the Government of England should be brpugbt to their meows, and induced to Abandon their system of despotism over the ocean, and their claim to the power 3nl prailiee of violAting the laws of natior.s, &c. Tuffs decree was stated, on behalf of the owners, to be a nullity, and not intended awagainst certain Powers, and mire especi shy as not intended against American ships. as the Government of France had iesneil into orda, fcr fitting out privateers to alt under the decree. _ _ Sir W Lt.l All SCOTT laid down the law generally and specially upon such cas•s. hie said, in general. neutrals, by the law of nations, were not liable to salvage, without particular orders or dire lions from the respektive powers, grounded upon pecu liar circumstances, which excepted thale special cases, a s‘ :.ich he did (nit most mature delibera tion) consider the cast tur ju.lgm.rut now before him to be one. Tim decree of the French Govern ment was, in worth and meaning, such an uopr,- cedented decree, as must Strd(ot every mind with coneinion, as an unqualified hostility against the maritime commerce and constitution of Eng land. It required no explanation, nor admitted cf any doubtful crinstruaion or interpretation. Or den bad been issued to all t)t Maritime Prefeers of the French Empire, and t,:e Allies and States under its dominion and influence, to execute the decree; and General Armstrong had remanstrated with M..nstear Andresio. the French Minister for Commerce, and from 'jot could obtain nu mote sat istadory expla-ration or information on this sub. jed, than jai pease, I think t.ach or sx;h should be the proper construdion. This j.s ',Lille WAS not Au explanation, or An offic.ll proper to issue iruM any G •t:r:,rent, or Sc. be ...t all regarded by any other Governmeat in tie world, and least of by E.r.gl.tad ; which, by this strange dca , e, was prlncra Led to be thencetor.h in a state of unive;sal blo:i:ade. an idea never before entertained by any nation in such ur gualif.rd and unlimited terms. This decree was not intended as a nulttty ; it was nothing like to a brats 11 fawn ; And AS the naptsrrin this case had rescued the s:cip from danger, audits so doing had tendered the owners essential setviee, he should adjudge the owners to pay the captorilalvage. He WWI ti.t adingsvjthout a precedent, for it came fully within his judgment upon the Ship from. Denmark, where, in stonier circumstances, he granted *savage to the captors. THE SHIP JASON . T.,is was a capture, mane under the Order of Council, .-at2d the 7th of January last. commAndit g th captive of all neutral ships trading between the enemy's pr•rts; which order was in answer to the ee►e`a►ateJ decree of Bonaparte. &timing this king d'qn , n A of of tck tae, as above Alluded to. 't'ne owners of the ship in cprestion were mer chants, at Emden, and it appeared, upon the depo sitions before the C 'tat, that she sailed from the port en Vign, in Spain, on the Itnla of kebreAry last, bound tar the port of -Civet:* Vecchia, in Italy, and laden with a carp of Sardinias. From the protest of the master it appeared, that about the 1.5-h or 16th of March, meeting wish some heavy gales of wind, and the ship being much damagA, he was obliged to make for the nearest port, and put into Barcelona, where he repaired the ship, dis oosed of his cargo, and took in a cargo of wines.arld was proceeding on his voyage ao Lis destined purr, when le was captured. On the part of the Captors. Donors Laweawcz and Seeress, 1., contended, that this was a ttaudulent prosecution of a voyage from one of the enemy's vets to another, in violation of the above Order of Conne I. and therefore the Captors were entitled to the judgment of he Court. They argued from the ship's journal and other document; on board, com pared pith the protest of the Captain, and other circomstances, that the Owner. and Captain ta part owner), had full knowledge of such Order, and stied in tiered violation thereof, and that the slop's real destination at the time of her sailing from Vigo, was not Civita Vecchia (then considered as a neutral port), but Barcelona direa ; and this they adduced from the ship's journal, which, Atli nigh it noticed heavy gales of wind about the 15th and 16th of March, did not mention any particular cla msge done to the ship at that time, sa as to obltme her to put into the nearest port; besides, it there that necessity, she was at that time about 330 leagues from Barcelona, and within a much leis distance of ..then ports, where she could have pat in ald refi:ted ; her cargo also being of a per.sh able nature, and not calculated for so long a voyage, and by a letter from the Owners to the Captain, di felting him in case of necessity, to make for Bar celona, the Learned Advocates contended, that this letter, if not intended as a fraud upon the Cap tors, was at least an anticipation of the bad weather that ensued, and clearly sh -*el that the parties h full knowledge at the time of the ship's sailing irons Vigo, of the Order of Council before attuned to, and had prosecuted a fraudulent veysge with a view to elude such Order. the Learned Advocates, Dodors Bowes.* and Buss a .on behalf of the Owners, on the other side contended, that that. was nothing in the pro. test incongruous with t:‘,..1 soip's joatiial and other documents; thakit appeared that the sny's n ;Renal destination was Ciraa Vecchia; that she met bad weather, and was mach damaged in ma.:s. bull, and rigging ; ond welt obliged, for these reasons, to put into Baiceloira, where having reAtted, she was about to prosecute her voya. e to !,-r de,tiited port, when, upon examining be. ono, it will 10,294 as. elssary io divine of it, and take to smother. The learned A , ivocates also argued up :no the p•nhaisiti , .y of the Master not being accitinted wit 'he Order •f Council at the time of sailing from Villa, trrla t delay which oecessarily attends the stoking of the Lisbon Packet, by which t a e knowledge of it wail* be conveyed. the difficulty of c-tnimOniclftiPas ;big - obscurity of the port of Vign itself. and the abort. time which had elaYscJ between isming rho Cifs!Or and the period at which the ship sage.: from, that port. . . After a reply of some length by Dr L•ww after, the Learned Judge, Sir Wrat.JA AI SCOTT, cibste v; et. that as the Ord*: i^ questimt was a matter Of r tremenotoriety, n 2.! %ilia lie of great haportance with retire& to fhe commercial relatior.s of this country with the Continent, there could be little doubt of its being weft known, in -Itno.t every trad• ing port on the Continent before the sailing of Vies ship from Vigo. Had she, • therefore, sailed frbrn ' any of the principel enturnerc , al ports of the Cor.ti nent, he should not tiesitrc to say, that die mu,t, olnecessity,hare,salied wit' full knowtllge of sat- ft Order. and consequently in violation of it ; tu: Vigo beihg a very eels. are place, little known in the commercial world, and the Decree of the French Government. prohibiting the conveyance of any cor respndence between this Kingdom and the Conti nent. rendering she communication of such Order very difficult at that time, he thought there WAS si probability that the Captain nr Master of this ship might have sailed from Vigo in total ignorance its existence; and therefore he wished, before he fi nally decided the cause, to have more evidence upon this part of the case, and &retied that the Capta:n should be further examined to it. With respell to the vessel joins to BarceimA, instead of prosecuting her veyar,e theca to Civiti Vecchia. he did nit think that that altered the cat at all ; for whether she went to the one port or the other. he should, consider her equally within tie operation of the Or der of Council of the 7th of January last. Judgment deterred. WEIGinT MATCH. 1 Two men, weighing at least twenty cones Limb. inhabitants of Hatumersniiith, the one.

H. and his second immediately absconded. It is very sinvisr, t: at only one second (Capt. S.) attended this unfortunate err\ ir. FIRE AT CHATHAM. A considerable alarm was excited yesterday morning, by a report said to have been brought to the Admiralty, of the Dock-yard at Chatham hav ing been completely destroyed by fire.—Some per sons even went so far as to assert that it had been done by design ; that it was the work of French Emissaries, woo had left behind them a paper, sig. nitying that it was but the commencement of a sys tem which would extend to and be felt in other parts of the kingdom. We are happy, however, to say, that the rumour is not true to the extent stattd.— About 9 o'clock on Monday night a fire did break oil in /anew the hemp-houses at ( hatham; but assistance was at hand, the fire engines were immediately set to w .r':, and in about an t:oar and a half the fire was completely extingnished. The damage done is very inconsiderable. At twelve o'clock a bl:s. stager was dispatched wit's intelligence to the Ad miralty. At that time every thing was in complete safety, and no further danger was apprehended.— Hor: the fire originated in the hemp-house, has not yet been ascertained.
