i ast rts A MRS. PIGMY'S GRAND BALL. -.....- This Lady's house, in Hill-street, Berkeley-square, was last night fitted up witWuncommon taste, to re ceive her elegant company. The hall was formed into a complete bower, composed of the finest shrubs a nd flowers, lighted by variegated lamps. At each Landing of the stair-case was placed a bronze figure, sustaining an or molu branch, with wax-lights, and a beautiful Grecian lamp suspended from the top. The staircase was a wilderness of sweets to the second floor. The ball room was hung with crim son and white damask, with carved gold mouldings, five amazingly large glasses, surrounded by or roam branches, and five most beautiful globes ; there were jou wax lights in this room. The fire place filled with the finest flowers, chrystal brutes, supported by rhite marble slabs. The floor most beautifully chalk ea--the Prince's plume, trophies of music, and various devices. The hangings of the grand drawing-room were blue damask, the decorations nearly the same as the ball-room. 'the refre,hment room appeared a garden of shrubs, with alcoves, containing tables, on which were placed the choicest fruits, orgeat, lemonade, ices, and garlands of flowers, interspersed with lamps. There were two rooms on the grouud floor, and two on the second, prepared for supper ; to supply which, art and na ture had opened all their stores ; every delicacy was In profusion. In the garden was formed a most beautiful Orchestra, with emblematical paintings, and lighted by 500 ♦ariegated lamps. The whole arrangements did honour to the contlator. The bowers, shrubberies, &e. were directed by Mesirs. Cococa APE and J 1341 , 11ti5. The tables, decorations, &c. by Mr. Si. ADE. There were above 500 gobi- Lty.

This seemed to be the signal for sport. A number of most curious masks instantly appeared. The most conspicuous were three Witikis, one of them of a gigantic stature, at least ten feet high, with a most ghastly countenance, and stood at the top of the stairs, to the great alarm of many of the fair visitors. Mr. A. UPTON was an excellent Ponca. Mr. and Mrs. WHITE, as Ma gatow, touched him with theW wands, when he dined into the supper room, and became an admirable Trencherman. AN/SCES:OS Moon was a Bacchante of the first order. Mr. Tut's! A S SHE DA N an excellent mask, as Sir Petal. GirumUe, of Grumble Hall, Yorkshire. He found fault v.ith men and measure*, railed at masquerades, and in voked the Society for the Suppression of Vice. As the beautiful Miss C A I,IL.LND hung upon his arm, a blue-ey'd Nrn of St. Catherine's passing by, hoped he would allow there was one Sairt in the Calendar.

A very hitmourous dance took place in the hall during supper, between Sit ester DoggerruJod, Major Sir geod, of the St. Pancras I rained Bands, two old Ladies in rich brocade, A Knight u# the Shasta r Knot, 2nd a Quack Dotter, who was supplied with nos trums for all complaints. The appearance of a &di': Head made the party fly for refuge to the supper-room, where the son of Mats took pos.essinn of a !ride ham, and marched and counter-marched, drew hoes and formed ravines, and, seizing a bottle of Champagne, exclaimed, be hod sprung • anise.--. At five o'clock the PRINCE and his party retired, about seven, the house was cleared. ——- - - - We have the pleasure of stating luis Royal High- MSS the Duke of CLAaENCE,WAS so well recovered yesterday as to arrive at Ms apartments at St. James's.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING's-SEXCH, GUILDHALL, Inv Siftings at Nisi Prigs: before Lord ELLEMSOLOUGH. GREEN V. CHILI:WELL. This was an a6lion of slander, and the word; charged to have been spoken by the Defendant against the Plaintiff were, 4 , You are a woundrel and a thief, you robbed me of an engine you put up at the Gibraltar." Mr. GARROW prefaced a most able and eloquent speech, with several observations upon the danger and effeels of calumny. The parties in this case were both makers of beermachines, which were an invention of a very late date, for the purpose of conveying liquor from the cellar to the tap, and now in use in almost every public-house throughout the kingdom. This Defendant had not only scandal ously and maliciously delamed the cluaraacr of the Plaintiff, but, without the least foundation, endea vonred to injure him in his trade, and undermine his reputation, by following bins, from place to place, through a great number of his customers, telling them, that he not only did not understand his business, but had stolen from him the beer-ma chine put up at the Gibraltar public-house. The Proprietors of the Rose and Crown, King's road, Chelsea—the Gun, in Hammersmith—the Nun's Head, Camberwell—the Gibraltar—and se veral other owners of public-houses, were severally examined ; and proved that the Defendant had followed the Plaintiff from place to place, vy ing be did not understand the making of the ma chine, offering to make some better at a lower price, and repeatedly using opprobrious expressions against the Plaintiff, said that he had robbed him of the machine he put up at the Gibraltar and other places. The Plaintiff, it appeared, had formerly been a journeyman to the 'defendant, who was the original inventor of this engune. Verdia of 501. damages for the Plaintift PRICE O THOMPSON. Mr. GAR/lOW staked, that this was an axon for goods sold and delivered to the Defendant's eldet. t'he Plaintiff WAS a person of great respuelability, and the Defendant was also a Gentleman of respea ability, and a Clergyman. The goods in question had been delivered upon a written order, in the De fendant's name ; and a dispute had arisen as to the identity of the hand-writing ; he was willing to abide by the Defendant's evidence upon oath. The Defendant was then sworn, and positively de nied the hand-writing to be his, or that he had any knowledge of it, or gave any authority whatsoever for it. The Plaintiff accordingly was non-suited. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS.—Jecr S. Big Porker, the bay whom we memioned in our Paper of yesterday, was this day put to the bar, in dicted for picking the pocket or Willi.tm Blain, Esq. of Wii.klkld Park, Berkshire. It appeared, that the Prosecutor was walking down Piccadilly on Thursday morning about eleven o'clock, and missii.g his pocket-book when between lialf-Moon-street and Clarges-sireet, be was informed by William Salis bury, a servant, that it hal been taken by the Pi i roner. They immediately pursued him, and both the Prosecutor aad Witness saw the Plisoner throw the pocket-book behind him, under a hackney-coach. The Jury immediately found him Grill,. The Pi;.oner then wAS examined by Mr. MACS. WARING, from which it appeared, that lie had only been discharged from the New Prison, where he had been confined for theft, the day before he com mitted this offence. The Court sentenced him to be tr.mporteetAr Seven lenrs. After s.mtence was passed, and though he then seemed say penitent, he turned to the Prosecutor, and said, B— murder to you ; I'll do you yet." fie is about fourteen years of age, and a very smart looking boy. IRELAND. COURT OF OF KING'S BENCH-4Ousux, Jim 1. This morning, the Ar roattev-Gcsta at moved the Court (Mr. liamidon &man appearing in custo dy), that the return to the Iladras Corpus, which had been granted to bring him up, should be read ; which was done accordingly—and the record of his outlawry having been also read, the Clerk of the Crown, as is usual in such cases, asked the Prisoner, what iie had to say, why judgment of death and ex ecutim should not be awarded against him ? Mr. lt,oa ir• At the time I wars outlawed, I was beyond Seas, in l'eniylvatita and I am instructed by my Counsel, that the outlawry cantatas error ui fact " Tae Writ of Error was then read, which assigned as error, 1 . That Mr. Ruwen had been outlawed by the addition of squire, instead of Yemen;" which being confessed by the ATTOIN6Y-GENLIAL. the Court ordered the outlawry and attainder to be in stantly reversed. The Clerk of the Arraigns hav ing then shortly read the indiament, and asked the Prisoner, " Are you guilty or not ► Mr. Rowan pleaded His Majesty's most gracious pardon—which was read ; Mr. Regal continuing, all the time the Clerk was reading it, on his knees. Soon as the Clerk had done reading, the Court 'Monne.' Mr. Rowan, he was discharged. Mr. Roman having then obtained liberty to speak, addressed the Court nearly in these words: " When last I had the honour of apipearMy before this T. i. buual•, I told your L0nt,h.p...1 knew HA 111.ticity only by his wielding the force et the ceun ry ; since that period, during my legal incapacity and absence beyond art. , my Wde and Children have 11111 only been untoolevted, but ;rntected ; an I, in addition to thus favours, Iwe now sioltuterl the Royal Macy for my life.

To this address, the CHM/ Jusvics replied— .. Mr. Rowan, f ti;e sentiments you. liar , • •spres.ed, I have lint a doubt but you will prove by your future coodui t that His Majesty's pardon hat out been benuwed on an un worthy object." Mr. Rowan then bowed to the Court, and with drew.

NAVAL nancrosztrok. PORTSMOUTH. JtfLY 4. Arrived the 'furores frigate, from BerMuda. PLYMOUTH, JULY 3. Late last evening arrived His Majesty's ship Le Lair,- from a short cruise, which she took (from in formation) aver two French frigates, which infesteJ the Irish coasr, and brought in with her one of them, called La Valliant, a frigate-built ship, pierced lc:- 30 guns, 18-pounders, and 243 men, a remarkably fine ship, copper-bottomed, and a very swift sailer. La Loire chased her twelve hours, during which time she threw her quarter-deck and fore-castle gum over board, and captured her off Cape Clear, with out a shot from the enemy. Just as she struck, the BilKarst and Metampea frigates hove in sight. La Taibant had only made capture of the Earl or Spencer packet, for New York; but it is confidently reported, that the English afterwards row, and carried the packet into an English port. Several English pri soners were found nn board the ',rifle. To-morrow or the next day La Loire sails again in pursuit of the other French ship, which I hope she will give a good account of. The Qu'en is gone from Ferrol with Admiral Sir Richard Bickerton, to join Admiral Cochrane in the West Indies. Sailed the Rangier sloop of war, Nimrod cutter, and Nimble brig. Sailed His Majesty's ship Favcuri'r, 18 guns, with dispatches for the Mre,t. Indies. DEAL, JULY 4. Arrived, the L'lmmertahle frigate, Ara* sloop of war, and several gun brigs, from off the French Coast, and remain in the Downs with the rest of the ships as per last. The Zebra bomb is under weigh with the outward bound, under convoy for Portsmouth ; also the Calais aad .13tilognc squadrons, for their respeCtive stations. 711 E COMBINED FLEET. A letter from Barb.idoes, dated May 25, contains the tidlowing particulars of the Combined Fleet at Martinique:—c• By the latest accounts which we ha .ye received of the enemy, it appears that they still renrin at Fort Royal ; and it does not seem that they have at any time since their first arrival quit ted their anchorage, consequently they could never have be (as was reported) within sight of our shores. fly a dispatch-boat last nig! which left St. Lucia on Tuesday the 21st, we are infarmed of the enemy's continuance at Martinique to that perioi, and it is said they had hauled further up into Fort Royal Ray, supposed with the object of facilitatin,,; their watering, and receiving on board other supplies. That they must evidently be in want of thee. ap- pears by the arrangements made on board the French ships, previous to their leaving France, fcr the purpose of conveying a larger number of troops. All the line of battle ships and triTttes arc viftualled. stored, manned, and fitted up for this express pur pose, without preventing them the . advantage of being equally prepared for battle. Thair holds are disposed as follows ; In lieu of three tiers of water they have but one, which is the upper tier, 'he ground tier is stowed with provisions, and in place.ef the 5d tier, six feet from the lower gun-deck, is built a tem porary ch:ck, fore and aft the ship, which is oces‘pied by troops; hammocks ate slung two deep, so tnat a line of battle ship, on this temporary dick ..lone, will stow one thousand troops ; in all other parts of the ship, hammocks are slung two deep. so that a se venty.four gun ship may carry fifteen hundred troops, independent of her complement of men. A proportion of their guns are calettlated isoth for the land and sea service ; the crew is made up of as many sailors at they could get, who are well exer; cited in military ev.dutions ; and soldiers. who have been accostorned to sea expeditions, are chosen to do the shi,ss duty—but not out of the 1500. From these artangements (which we think are cor reCtly stated), what staiht can be had of their pro. jelling some grand blow against the colonial pos sessions of Great Britain ? and their detention at Martinique too evidently appears to be only for the purpose of obtaining flesh supplies, and perhaps projeding the best means of attacking all our Islands at the same moment ; for it cannot be dis puted, that in our present almost total deficiency of naval assistance, their force is equal to such an undertaking." There surely cannot be a more fair and honour able proposal than Mr. BOWYER is making to the purchasers of Tickets in his H:sraav of 14 . 44.1. AND Lori. ea v, by requesting, that before the purchase they will see the Engravings which they will be en titled to, in case they should not obtain Capital Prizes ; especially as the Purchasers are warranted in receive fine Impressions of those very Engra. vings, and of an others. This proposal has drawn many thousand persons to the Historic Gallery. Pall Mall ; and Corithill, within the last three or four days; and the decided approbation these En-' gravings have met with, has caused a demand for Tickets which has exceeded Mr. BOWYER'S most sanguine expenatinns. An entirely sew National Spataele, with New Scenery, &c. will, we understand, on Monday next. appear. for the first time, at the RO•AL (:a nus, in addition to that greatly admired produaion, !orogen, Prineeto of Britain; the pleasing Harlequin ade ofd Mogul Yale; the singing of the very sur prising infant, Miss FLRON ; and the feats of that excellent equestrian, Masses. The favourite Dance of The Coat and Badge will, consequently, on that evening, be completely withdrawn. Tnt BRITISH PRES% ever attentive to the satis fa3ion of the public, with pleasure announces that their old favoutite place of amusement, he Royal Menagerie, Exeter 'Change, by the late extraordi nary additions of rare living Beasts and Birds, from various foreign parrs, is so wonderfully improved. as far to exceed every place of the kind in Europe, whether we consider the uncommon number, beauty, and variety of that vast Collation. The only Elephant in England is to be seen there, with Lions, Tigers, Nylghaw, or Horned Horse, Lion and Lioness of St. Domingo, Kangaroos. Beavers, Southern Ostriches, Cassowaries, Black Swans, Crown Crare, Horned Owls, with many others equally rare, and to be found alive in no other se latioa whatsoever.
