E. This Meeting, held yesterday, at Epsom, was called on the requisition of Lords Onalow and reignmonth, four Baronets, six Knights, and twen •y Magistrates of the county, to consider the pros oriety of addressing His Maj-sty on the late gland "Id glorious viElories. On the meeting being open ] in the regular way. Robert Chatfield, Esq. the High Sheriff, was called to the Chair, who called the attenta si of the Freeholders to the requisition.—They were met oil momentous question, and he knew they would fispose of it as they ought. Sir I horns; Turton then rose, and, in an address, equally concise, elegant, and expiessive, opened the inssiness of the Meeting He was an independent man, and not in the habit of Battering or cjoling linisters ; but, acting as they had done, he cnu!d not restrain his tribute of applause to them, tor the se ection they had made of the Oficers to superintend -ertain services; tney had, in that case, done ho. .our to themselves, and achieved the greatest of all h.meits to their country—benefits incakulable in the -xtent, and honourable in the extreme, to us parti cularly, as a commercial nation. The tioi.otirahle Baronet concluded with moving an Address, very much like the one moved and framed by Mr. Shaw, at the Borough Meeting. Lord V 1 illiam Russel rose, to express his satisfac tion at the Ad'-ess, as moved: he most assuredly wished it might go a little farih-r ; as it was, he would not attempt to divi.le the meeting on it, but would give the original motion his support. Some other Gentlemen spoke, and th- coevion being put on the Address proposed by Sir Thomas TWOus, it was voted ens. ran. The usual R-s.•lutions of Thanki to the Chairman were entered into. The appointment of a Committee was also made. DC;Vi.R. Nov. 20.

THE CNASICRFIFLII PACKAT. tat Naar O► A LATTEN, DATA, RiNCISTON, AUGUST ISO). " The Cheitrufehl packet, which I-ft Falmouth, for Jamaica, on the 14th o f l une last. I ani sorry to say, was tam. on Sunday, the 41st of July. tiff the east side of the island, and ant more than three leagues distant from it, after as obstinate a resist ance, perhaps, as any that our naval history can furnish, as you will perceive feom the following ac count, which I had from 'An Slather. the mastesr: " On the gist inst. a strange sail appeared on our weather-bow; she had no fore-top mast up, which made us suppose, she was one of our droogers ; but she soon run up tier fore-top -mast, hoisted Spa nish colours, and neared us enough, by 7, a. as. to gall us considerably with her two long twelves; by a shot from one of which, Capt. Morgan, of the Sth West-India regiment was wounded, but. I am iiappy to say. nut dangerously. Our hoarding-nets were now up. two of our 4-pounders placed aft, and we were all in high spirits for a brush at the Dons, al though we perceived that their deck swarmed with men. Our stern-chasers did great execution, and we maintained a running fight, till one, p. ay. when the little wind there was, died away, and we were quite becalmed. The enemy now took advantage of their long sweep+, amounting to 32, and. coming along-side, made three very vigorous efforts to hoard, but were as otten repulsed, with great slaughter, acid their Captain, who was wounded in many places, fell from our netting on his own deck They now dropped astern, and raked us dreadfully ; and, as we lay like an unmanageable log on the wa ter ; our Captain badly wounded, and Mr. Down ing, the mate, mortally ; our ammunition expended. even thitt for the small-arms ; rigging, masts, and yard.. cut to pieces; Captain Blight thought it prudent to save the lives of the remaindm. of the crew, by striking to the enemy. Here, however, some difficulty occurred, for the colours had hero tacked. by one of the passengers, above the snizen top ; and a sailor, in the aft of tearing them down, Fad a piece of his trowsers carried away by a ca. luster-shot. Too much praise cannot be attached to the passengers for their cool and det.i mined con du& particula•ly to Captain Hoy, of the I Sth Royal liish Regiment ; and Mr. Thomson. a student of Christ-char. h College, who never quitted the deck during the wh , :le contest. We have to la went, that Mr. Thomson was wound-d severely in the ad of carrying poor lsowning to the hatchway ; but, as he was left behind at St. Jago de la Cuba, under the care of an excellent French surgeon, I have every reason to think he may soon recover Every merit is due to Captain Blight, who fought like a lion, till his wound obliged him to leave the deck. When Captain B. saw the intention of the enemy to board. he die:reed the mail to he thrown overboard, at the sane time informing his crew, that they were not to consider this as a signal to strike, bur merely the performance of his principal duty, as the Captain of the packet.

"'MANTIS wiLsroan. 05911% The Defendant was brought up this day to re ceive the judgment of the Court, for an assault noon Mr. Wm. Croker, as stated in our paper of Friday last. Mr. Justice Goose, in passing sentence, observed, " Vim have been brought before us to receive the sentence of the Court for committing a most violent assault, which has been laid before us, upon a/- davits. Unfortunately for both, the Prosecutor and yourself are attorneys. A letter was received by yau, the terms of which you considered disrespect.. ful, and the Prosecutor, in defence of his character, posted it on the Church door. Yon have behaved ' in a war disgraceful to yourself, and injurious to the Prosecutor. If the person you assaulted, had given way to such violent passions as those by which you were goverael, what might have been the cos sequences ? If a person in such a country as this, fee. himself injured, he may resort to the law.— Yon are a minister of the law, in being an attorney of this Court. Under all these circumstances, it is the duty of the Court to make you sensible of your errors, and, to proteft the public from violation and outrage. Therefore, the Court do order and ad judge, that you pay a fine of 501. and give security few your future good heb-iviour, yours e lf in 400 L and two sure.ies in 1001, each, for the spice Si three years."

This was an information Aled by the Arroaner- G r. , against the Der indant, and four others, for an assault upon James Mack-ell, an Excise Of ficer, and tried before the CH ar BA atm. during the last assizes for Norfolk, when the former was torrid gui/fv, and the other four sect, 'teal. On the day stated in the indictment, being Mar ket-day in the own, the Prosecutor, and wiother Officer,. had seized some smuggled spirits, when the Delend.w, with four others came up, and hustled him; trod on his ander, and .s. aulted him; whe the Prosecutor, pulling milt a pis.ol, obs-rved, .4 if that is the war with y. u.

Several affidavits were produced in his behalf, giving him a most excellent cloy a 'ler. Among which' ere those of Lord Walpole, George Winch .m, Esq. John Gay, Esq. Sir Roger Kerrisnn, Bart. Dr. Philip Gardiner, and many other Gentlemen, all Justice, of the Peace for the County of Norfolk. Mr. EISKINS and Mr. Serjeant BIST. made • few observations on the part of the Defendant, in mitigation of punishment. The BoLiciroa-Garrea•t, for the Crown, ob served, that if the Defendant came to the market by accident, he must have aCted in the manner he had done, from his love of riot. The douer ordered him to be committed. and brought up again t n Monday.

The information charged the Defendant wit`, sending a letter to the Magistrates of %Villa, defaming their charafters, as Justices of the Peace, and for pahlishing an means. matnry with intent to pr wilts a duel. The Defendant wa.convified of the libel, but acquitted of vie rest of the charge. and was brought up this day, on the motion, fur judgment. The affi 'sank of the Defendant stated, that he was formerly a Member of the Irish House of Commons, had afterwards corn n .nled a corps or Volunteer Light Dragains, is the county of Hants, and had quelled some desperate riots there He had re sided 'or three year. oast in Wilts, when, co ceiv. ing himself harrassed by the Magistrates in ques tion, in deciding a cause against him, which had been repeatedly dismissed by another set cf Ma. 4 istrstes, he wrote the letter complained of in a moment of irritation, and afterwards published it, merely to correct an erroneous copy of it which had found its way into the Newspapers. The Lord Bishop of Gloucester's affidavit was then read, in which his Lordship expressed himself in high terms of the Defendant, whom he had known since a boy, at Winchester College. The affidavits of the Earl of Radnor, and several other Magis trates of Wilts, were reed on the part of the Prose. cution Counsel were then heard at length. and the Defendant was ordered to attend on Tuesday next.

On a former day, Serjeant Williams, on the part of the Plaintiffs, obtained a rule fur the De fendants to show cause shy they sh iuld not pay over to the Plaintiffs, as assignees of Bulgen, the purchase-money of the eopyttght of a Newspaper, called Bosteier Brute[ 3141 , Nry• which had been made over to them at the time of the bankruptcy, for a valuable consideration, to he hereafter paid to the bankrupt. Setjeant Beer, this day, shelved cause against the rule, and contended. that the eopyr;ght of a news. paper was not, in the nature of assets, assignable to the assignees of a bankrupt, at, in fa*, the value was only ideal, and depended on the etertio .s of the Editor ; and, he conceived, that unless the Court would order his labours, and also the future exer tions of the Bankrupt himself. who was very alive in the business. to be transferod to the Assignees, the copyright would ant be of the lean value. &leant WILLIAMS. on the other side. contend ed, that whatever was of value. in the possession of the bankrupt. was assignable to his as.ignees, not only the copy-right in publications of this sort, but right of aftion for debt, simian for double forfeiture, for money lost at play, the right of a news -walk, which had often been the subjs.* of wills, and had afterwards been contested in tile Court of Cbanetry. fa fee, whatever wash, be coasidered of the sesalleit Wee, he submitted, was assignable, sad, on ti. art of bankruptcy, be,anse toe ptoeerty of the Bankript's credit:Ts, Sir Janes M•NSVIELD asked Serjeant Bat, whe ther he had found any cue where a propeity, or a valuable right, of the Bankrupt's. was not voiced in the assignees, by the bankruptcy t Serjeant Bear acknowledged !.e he had nor ; and the Cotner ordered Serjeant Wit.t.iam.'s rule to be made absolute; at the same time &nerving. that though the future labour: of •he Proprietor cooled not be transferred, yet to the property acquired by his past labours, his cred.tors were clearly entitled. coca r. stattfon.

The Defendant denied all knowledge of may right by agreement, which th • Plaiiitiff had to charge per cent. but did act °hied to that part of the ac count, which gave him credit for one half ser cent. and al/owed—hint interest for certain sums of money.
