They will all affirm that wily one ship of the line, the Ajax, and the Amelia frigate ; were utile to St t within gun shot of the enemy's three vessels, on account of the tuba failure of the wind at first, and its changing so muck aftemards, that the enemy were to wind. ward, and of course had it in their power to begin the attack • but so far were th e y from wishing a re. Inewal of t he combat, and bearing down for that purpose ou the Amelia and Ajax, that they made all sail. " The bravery of the sailors belonging to this squadron is not at all inferior to that of the Eng. lish • and the time pe r hap s w ill come , w h en C apt. Blackwood will have occasion to give a different r 4 of courage from th a t w hi c h h e h as b o a ste d . ' t isnot true that the fiag.ship, of 130 guns, fired a bieetlaide upon alit Captain, or the other vessels ; if it bad, they would have felt it. It requires the English propensity to boasting to suppose that the fire of three ships of that nation could silence the fire,of six of ours, and oblige them to make off. ' Thorp is nut one of our Captains wbo does not wish to be laid aloug.side Captain Blackwood for an boor, for the purpose of teaching him to hold his tongue, or tell truth. He has already had proofs of the superiority of our artillery over that of the English, since he has acknowledged that be had a Lieutenant and seven men killed, and 13 wounded, and that on board the two ships of his Majesty's squadron which were cannonaded by*the .three English ships of the line, the frigate, and sloop, under the command of Captain Blackwood, there was not one person hurt.

This was an application oti the jUirt of Henry, William Hail and Harriet, his wife, the said Harriet being one of the dseithters ut the batikrupt,• to be allowed to prove wider the commission in the fel. lowing circtnstatieei. The Petitioner, Hell, asurMisa Harriet Dicken son, being both under age, hid eloped to . Scotland, and had there been Married, agreeably to the:forms of the Scotch Church, without, or rather contrary to, the consents and inclinations of the Cohen, on both sides. On their return to England, the father of the bride being impressed with an idea that a marriage in Scotland was illegal, anal desirous that no possible stigma should be all Owed to attach to the young couple, insisted strongly on their being 'again married in England by proclamation of banns, and with all the usual solemnities. The fattier of the bridegroom, on the other hand, was of opinion lhat a Scotch marriage was completely valid, and therefore objected'to a repetition of the ceremony. To induce him tti conient to this measuro, Mr., Dickenson wrote to the elder Mr. Hall, on the Bth of December, 1807;hgreeing, on the marriage being again celebrated, to grant bond for payment to his daughter, and her husband, of 1051. daring! their joint lives, ander tbipenalty of 10501,.. The mat. stage ceremony was again, pbtforsne4; gati4te. ;toad by Mt. DickbosOic I he'bankrupt "Jo 'favor. of his daughter and her busban'j, watitnted i, and some time after this, but stlasetptenti . 'the benietiptcy of Mr. Dickenson, the fath er o f th e Petitioikle, H. W. Hall, granted to his son an additional annuity of 4901., on the narrative that mach annuity was given In consideratio n of the bond gra n t e d by M r . Dickenson in favour of his daughter, (he wife of the Petitioner. On this bond, it iraCttew.asked of the Lord Chancellor, that the Petit rera might be allowed to prove before the Consudaispers, on Mr. Dickenson's separate estate. Mr. HART, in support of this application, con tended that the bend now sought to be claimed on, was taut voluntary or gratuitous, but was granted, in two different respect', for a valueble consi ' iteration. In the first place, it was granted in I consideration of the re-celebration of the marriage between Mr. Hall, tbe younger, and his daughter, %bleb to his (Mr. Dickenson's) mind, was not lawful or obligatory; but might, upon application , to the proper Court, be dissolted—that the eiedi : ton of hit% Dickenson too could no's be injured it the time he granted the bond in question; by such an appropriation of part of his fortune i . An the •contrary, that he might have been warrsdted In making a much larger provision for his daughter, was apparent from this circumstance, that at., this moment his separate estate was much more than sof. ficient to pay all his InditidUal debts. Hut, second. Iy, if any thing could be required to support the fact that this bond was not granted voliinterily,„ but for a conaideratlen, it was to be gathered from this circumstance, that the additiona l 'annuity granted by Hall the Elder, to his . son, proceeded on the nar rative that it was so witted ie.c.osisideration -of Thht Froortrond rittirtai; to judge of the mollies which r• had dictated the conduct of the father of the youug lady, they had only 'to look. to what the father of the young . Genitemani had done. The first part of his case, the Learned Counsel admitted, must de peed on the estimation in which his Lordship held Scotch marriages. The Loam CeVibetadlke said Ata entertained no doubt that Scotch marriages were eery good. Mr. HART argued that that Court wag not accus. toured to hold them so. . The LORD Chattnest.t.ii"said, if the settlement had been made by the eider of the Court; that would have deppotted it egainst the claims of any creditors. Here it *al nor stated that any positive Agreement had been made previodS to the elocution of the bond in question. It.did not appear' that Mr. Dickenson had granted the bond from any obligation on him to do so. The inning, granted by the Pei-. donee!' father to hirk was granted some time After the date of the bond; so that, itwead Of the bond being granted in consideration of the annuity, the annuity seemed to hate been granted in cOnsideration of the bond; a circumstance which was at once de structive of the Petitioner's claim dtt s the Hankrlipt estatei•On thelrooncrOf the bond, not tieing a vo. luntary act_ msa the part of this Defendant.. If, however, the Petitldner could she* an Agreement elisting antecedent to the date Of. the hoed, that would do mealy theciredalstinea of thennattikj by Mr. Hall, senior, to his son having becograrreml :Ws posterior date.
