It was reported before fear o'clock that the regulars, volunteers, and militia, had no ammuni. tion left, only 20 rounds per man having been previondy issued to them on which I immediately went to the Ordnance Storekeeper, Mr. Brandon, who had received his Excelletcy's positive orders Mame , to have Si rounds for each man, packed up is kegs, and which was always to accompany him. lint he acquainted me that lee Hely had with hint one small keg of ball and one of powder, which wan immediately issued to the men, but which, it may be supposed, slid not last very long. The enemy perceiving that our tire had become slacker, attempted to cress the river, and sue tedcd : they 1)41 frequently ettetspted the thing before,but were repulsed with great rime:wee Th., at the same time sent a very considerable force reurd our flanks, to cut off our retreat, which they completely secceeled in doing, from their superior nombere. The whole now became one scene of enr.fusien, the enemy having iaterminci with us. In my retreat I observed his Excellency a censiderable distance befit me; soon after which some guns were f red from the direction in which he was going, and there was a general rush back of the people who were follow'mg him; but after which I saw no more of his Excellercy. The people took different directions, and a number of the wounded men followed me into the thickest parts Oldie woods,through which,with the waistanceof Was salmon, who undertook, for a reward, to guide us,we travelled the whole of that night and half the neat day, frequently going sealskin able distance throueh a stream of wata, for the purpose of hiding our track. When we got into the wood leading to Awiesnacow, and, preireeded about Are miles, a party of the enemy was reported to be before us, we therefme retreated arid got into another path lead. lug to the same place; but we had not proceeded above three miles when we had again to retreat, as a part y of the enemy was just before us. Jest stout sunset I fortunately fell in with a party of IV emote, who were In Iteartb of their wires and children, whom the A shanties had taken they said they were going towards the Ilocemm-pri, tied that they would conduct •me over to it. We, howr.tr, slept in the woods, and about three o'clock in the morn. Mg we erne-reed our march. We observed a number of infants lying in the bosh (riving for breath, the Ashentees having taken their mothers to terry their plunder, and obliged them to throw their children ,away • we, however, recovered a number of the women, and killed about twenty or the enemy. I nnfortutiately lost mw shoes in the mud en the 22d, and has to travel the whole of the lad without shoes, a distance of ahout/hirty miles. I shall liar nothing of the hardships I underwent, as you could be CNe tos judge from the state in which yon found me on the 2dsh.

FRACAS AT TILE SURREY THEATRE.—Yestadity this fiSce was crowded with Theatrical Gentlemen belonging to the estainnis. merit of the above Theatre, in consequence of a riot that took place he previous night on the sthge, between the Proprietor and as eminent Tragedian, who had been announced, In tone of the penny pun. pldets, to perform the character of Edward Mortimer, mike am ' piece, entitled " The Ranger of the Forest." Air. ramble and a Mr. Warner appeared as the defendants. Mr. W. Williams, the Proprietor of the Surrey, stated, that co the preceding exening, during the performance of The Ranger of the Forest, Mr. Kemble, who had recently belonged to his ctn. pany, jumped frost the pit across the orchestra on the stage, and there proceeded to harangue the audience, and mate a disturbance, which he (Mr. Williams) was fearful at the time would have coded in the demolition of the whole interior of the house. During the disturbance, a Mr. Warner, who appeared to be the friend of Mr. Kemble, stood up on the seats in the pit, and by his language and gestures did everything in his power to excite the audience to sea of disorder. Mr. Williams added, that be was under the necessity of ejecting Mr. Seale front the stage bark into the mantra. As for Mr. Warner, he said, that gentleman, be had every reason to believe, was the instigator of the whole proceedings, and he was persuaded that a party was termed to kick op a row, and do ev-ry thing they could against the interims of the theatre. Mr. CIIAIIRE us inquired whether Mr. Kemble belonged to the company, and whether it was a fact that he was anr.ounccd to play there that night ? Mr. Williarmseedared it was no such thing, and added, that that gentleman's engagement had expired some time since. Mr. CliAstuEßS then asked Mr. Kemble what busineas he had to jump upon the stage, and act in the manner described ? Mr. Kemble replied, that he had witnesses to prove that the riot commenced in consequence of his having been announced in the bills to perform a character in one of the pieces. He happened to be in the pit when the play alluded to commenced, and immediately on the appearance of another performer, who was substituted in bit wad, a scene of uproar and confusion ensued, when he (Mr. Kew ble) was loudly called for from all parts of the house. Under these circumstance', snd at the desire of the whole house, be admitted that he creased over to the stage, not for the purpose of exciting a disturbance, as had been stated, but for the purpose of addressing the audience, and informing them the reason that he did not appear before them In the part he was armouneed to perform in. At the moment he was about to address the audience, Mr. Williams ran out on the stage, and coming behind bins (Mr. K.) as he stood near the foot lights, gave him a violent push knocked him into the orchestra, and had it not been fortunately " that he came down' en a kettledrum, which broke his fall, he was certain soma of Ws' bones would have been broken.

Mr. 'Williams said, that be was convinced Mr. Kemble and Y.: Warner came to the house with the Intention of " raising a row,' and that was the object of their being in the pit, ready at the at. went tocroas the stage. Mr. Auld, the stage manager, here stated, that, while the above circumstances were passing on the stage, Mr. Warner stood on the benches of the pit, waving his hat, and cutting the audience by calling out, "Go it; that's right, my boys; pull down the house." .Mr. Warner denied that he went to the Theatre foe the of engaging in any disturbance; he went there to see Mr. rent ft le e , who was announced in the bills. and he could nut help expreming his dissatisfaction, as well as the rest of the audience, when he saw that character was put into the hands of another performer. The Magistrate observed, that enough had Wen stated to authorise him to call upon both defendants to put in bail. Mr. Williams said, that he would be perfectly satisfied if Mr. Kenible woald enter into his own recognuances to keep the pear:. Kemble was accordingly bound in his own reaignisanots, and Mr. Warner in two securities of S.N. each, to ke:p the peace. FISH MARKET, Ttr9DAY, Jurt 22.

The Court had , en a firmer occasion, granted an inj un ction restraining Lord Charles Townsheml front cutting dawn timber. It would seem that this Noblemen was a personage of s porting tendencies. In the in dulgenee of this propensity he had adopted the habit of seizing certain tracts of land occupied by his tenants, and conversing them into plantations and covers for the harbouring end preservation of ' game. His tenants remonstrated with his Lordship against this I strange treatment of tenantry, but in vain t the game was more valuable : o his Lordship than the interest of his tenants. The tenants then applied to the. surviving . trustee of the estate, lord John Townshend, for protection vaunt their landlord. Lord John, fi.slitg himself bound to defend the intertsts of the tenants, whom, by the deed of trust, he had undertaken to protect , pre sented present petition. Ili* Lordship was not actuated by im , proper motives or hostile feelings ; his sole object was to protect the interest of the tenants, and also the interest of Lord Charles Townshend, in restraining Jinn from acts oppressive to others, and perhaps ultimately injurious to himself. Mr. II AUT, few Lord Charles Townsliend, asked whether it could be believed, that a Nobleman who had arrived at full age, and was capable of managing his affairs, could art in such a manner. Air.

FIIV% Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN; moved for • rule to show cause why the nonsuit in this case should not be set aside and a verdict en tered for the plsintiff. The difference between these parties has given rise to much litigation. A trial took place some time ago of this same cause, when a verdict was given foe the de fendant, but on application for • new trial it was granted.. This last trial came on a Guildhall during the Sittings after Easter Term, and the plaintiff was nonsuit ed . The action was brought to recover the value of a quantity of stores furnished hy the plaintiff for the use of the ship, the Queen Elizabeth. The amount of the charge was not disputed. The question, the Learned Sergeant arg ued, was, whether the goods were ordered by the defendant. Ile did not care whether the defendant was legal owner of the vessel er not. If be acted as the owner it was sufficient to render him responsible for the goods furnished. If he (the Learned Sergesno could make it out that the goods were supplied for his benefit, and by his authority, he (the Learned Sergeant) should establish his case. The case rested on the letters of Fry, the defendant. On the other side, it was alleged the de fendant could only be liable on wo grounds ; either that the goods were supplied on his personal credit, or that he was the legal owner of the ship. Now, it was not pretended that he had or dered the goods on his personal credit, therefore he could not be liable on that ground. It was then denied that he was the legal owner. The letters of Fry (the Learned Sergeant proceeded) were written by him as the owner, and as having claims upon the ship, and the whole point turned on the identity of the defendant's hand. wed tang. The CitiEr JUST !ex, in giving his opinion, said it was evi- , dent that the plaintiff could not have been misled into a belief that the defendant was an owner, and refused to disturb the non. wit. Mr. Justice PARK and Mr. Justice Buititoruu coincided. Nontuit to stand. PARLINI T. CORBETT. Mr. Sergeant PEI. 6 read an affidavit of Mr. John Bendy, suiting, that he beard Parkins say he had drat the horse to Gobbet'. and not sold it. Parkins obtained a verdict, on the ground that the horse had been sold, and the Learned Sergeant asked for a new trial, to prove that the horse had only been lent. The COE RT refused a new trial, as it would he opening a dcor to repeated litigation on the ground of new evidence , , which would be productive of much labour and no ultimate good. Rule refused.

Colonel Edward Corry swoen.—l live at Clevelsod.street, Fitzroy-square, and am a Brij/tidier-General in the army. On the 14th January I met the defendant at his own house, 36, Howland. street, which was elegantly furnished. Her kept his stud of horses, and lived in the most costly style, drank his wine, &c. Defendant said he had 78 quartet of ooze, which he had purchased at 231. per quarter, for watch he had paid ready money ; the whole amounted to 891. 14s. Ile then begged 1 would purchase them of him. I consented, and handed to him onc bank-note fur MI. and one for 101. telling him I would pay him the balance on the following day. He also said the oats were lying at the warehouses of Messrs. Geo. Kean and son, of /loraleydown. On the following day one Richard Knight and myself went to the defendant's house. I paid the ba. lance, making to the whole 091. 141. The reason of my delivering my two notes was, to make good my purchase ; and defendant dc. livered to me an order by which I was to get the oats. I did not get the oats, because they had not been paid for by defendant. I told thedefentiant of it on the following day. He appeared much agi tated, and said he would go to the market, and settle the matte: so that the oats might be delivered, for there must have been sours mistake. I never got the oats. After this the defendant proposed to give me a warrant of attorney on his furniture, but which I never got; and soon abet he removed from Howland-street. The next I heard of him was, that he was in Norwich gaol. I obtained a warrant front Bow-street, and lodged it against him, upon which the defendant was brought to town. litre Mr. ALLEY, for the prisoner, took an objection to the wording of the indictment, which the Court overruled. Mr. A eLEY—Do you not know the defendant has been declared • bankrupt, and obtained a certificate from all his creditors but yourself ? 31r. Ant:menus objected to the witness answering, but the Court overruled the objection. The witness said he certainly had heard that the creditors had nog signed his certificate. Witness continued—the Magistrates at Bow-street suffered the defendant to go at large for a second and third examination, and he attended. Mr. Samuel Robley, a prisoner for debt in Wbitecross-street prison, deposed that he attended the order as a witness, and heard I the defendant say he would give up all he had in the world, obserr. log he hail sold to the prosecutor grain that he never had to sell. 31r. Sedgwick, partner in the firm of Gika and Co. corn-factors. —ln January, 1823, Pollard bought oats, but had not paid for them. The oats would certainly not be delivered without being paid for. Mr. ALLEY again took an objection to the name set out in the indictment, " James Giles," which, in fact, ought to be James Sharp Giles. The COURT held this fatal to the indictment. The prisoner was arraigned upon a second charge, for having oh : tented front Colonel E. Corry, one 501. note, and one other note for SOL Mr. ADOLPHUS opened the cue to the Jury. Col. Corry said. on the 13th January he bought 50 sacks of flour of the defendant, and paid him with a 50/. and a 401. note, when, in fact, no such flour had been bought by defendant of a Mr. Gilbert, as stated by him. Mr. ALLEY again tool• an objection as in the last case, and the Court ruled it to be fatal. SENTENCE ON THE OFFICERS OF THE COUNTY COURT, FOR AN ASSAULT ON MISS COWELL. John Foster, William 11. rm, John Bradhl, and 11, my well, Lae first a licensed victualler, the latter three officers of the County Court, were brought up from Coldbath-fields prison, to receive the judgment of the Court, for an assault upon 31iss Sidney Cowell, of which they were convicted on Thursday last, as meta in our PAM of Saturday.

COUNTERFEIT SOntitirtarra.--The utterer. of counterfeit sovereigns are now, it seems, very much on the alert , and have fur nisht,, business for the Solicitor of thd Mint, in many cases lately, throughout the country. The Londoners being supposed better judges, it is not till the harvest has been reaped through the country, that these gentry attempt to pmctice their tricks upon them. A few basst sovereigns have, however, occasionally made their appearance in the metropolis; and from the view of a couple of dim, po dueed at this office yesterday, it would appear by no means di ffi cult to detect Meru, from their obvious lightness, and the peculiarity of their ring. The person who attempted to utter them was brought op before the Sitting Alderman, Sir It. C. GLyN, Bart. lie gave his name Gorge dins. Mr. Pow s. Li., who attended on the part of the Mint, had no knowledge of him as a common utterer, but the city officers were well acquainted with him as a constant companion of the thieves and prostitutes in that sink of infamy, George-alley, Fleet-market. The prisoner had gone into the White Hart public-house, Fleet market, and asked for change of a sovereign. The young girl at the bar to whom be applied, on looking at the sovereign, immedi ately told him it was a bad one. He affected much surprise, and immediately tendered ber another. This she also pronounced to be bad. Ile, however, insisting they were both good ones, she said she would take them into Mr. Jones's, next door, and ask him. The prisoner replied, you had better do so, and I will wait. On 'hewing them to Mr. Jones, he instantly declared they were neither of them worth a farthing ; and learning :' rem the girl that the person who bad tendered them was waiting, he called Lines, a coy officer, who happened at that time to he in his parlour, who' hearing the facts, accompanied the girl back, and took the prisoner into custody. Lines was preparing to search Lim, when the pri soner produced a third sovereign, saying he supposed they were all alike. This last sovereign, however, tinned out to be a good one. The prisoner, who had refused giving any account to the officer, how he came possessed of the sovereigns, was prepared wiih a story before the Magistrate. A young man of his acquaintance though he knew neither his name nor his residence, being about to sleep that nigh: at a common lodging-house, and fearful that he might be robbed, bad given them to him to take care oE As his waiting whilst the girl went to Jones's looked somewhat like inno cence, the Alderman gars him tilt Friday to yroducc this person. BOW-STREET. 1 HARDSHIPS OP THE4;IW:-:iilltSlillty. Mr. John Ilfi!brood, a master bricklayer at Hammersmith, app .red voluntarily before the Magistrate (T. (HALLS, Esq.), at the request of the parish officers of Hammersmith, to answer to their mmplaint for leaving his wife and three children chargeable upon the parish funds. The statement of the wife upon oath was, that her husband turned her out of doors about six years ago ; that he allowed her something towards her maintenance for the first year, but had not given her a farthing since ; and that she was now, together with three ehildred " born in wedlock," chargeable to, and maintained by the parish of Hamtrertirnith. The husband, in answer to the charge. said he verily believed there never was a case of greater hardship than this. After living together in the marriage state for a great many years, and having seven children, she chose, of her own accord, to leave him. She took the youngest child with her, an d he weed to allow her twelve shillings a-week, and to find her in bread, and flour, so long as b:/t conducted herself properly. For some time before she left his bed, she had conducted herself in a very strange manner, having addicted herself to drinking and late hours ; and, upon more than one occasion, sold or pawned the beds pro eldest for the children. When she had been subsisting upon his allowance for about twelve months, she came to him and stated that she should be able to do much better for herself by going to service, which she would do, if he would take the child home, and give her a sum of money to fit herself out respectably. This he agreed to do, upon her signing a deed of separation. The deed was accordingly drawn up and signed, and a Mr. Clarke appointed trustee, the sum agreed upon to he paid by the defendant being put into his hands for the use of the wife. Mr. Clarke and she soon afterwards came to very amicable terms, for they lived together, and the " three children born in wedlock," spoken of by Alm. Mill. wood, were the consequence of their intimacy. Mr. Clarke had at length become tired of Mrs. Millwood, and had turned her upon the parish, and he (defendant) was now called upon to support his profligate wife, and her three childno begotten by another man. This he was de termined never to do. He believed there were some persons about Ilimmersmith, who were so much his well-wishere, as to be willing at any time to furnish him with a rope ; and sooner than pay for the maintenance of this woman and her bastards, he would avail himself of their kindness, and make use of it. Mr. liaLt.s said, that the deed of separation was not worth a farthing, and however hard the case might he, the husband was bound to support his wife and the three children, they having been " born in wedlock." His having paid a sum of money to induce her to agree to a separation, did not exonerate him from the liability to indemnify the parish. Whether or not he had his own remedy against the trustee was another question. Under the cir cumstances. however, he (Mr. Halls) should not, as he might do under the Vagrant Art, commit the defendant in execution as a rogue and vagabond, for deserting his wife and family, but take his own recognizance to appear at the Sessions, there to abide by any order that might be made. The defendant gave his own recognizance and was discharged. Mr. (*harks 11rn , y Williams, a fashionably-attired young man, who when asked what profession he was of said, `• I really tardly know how to describe myself, but I suppose I am a gentleman," was brought up from St. Martin's watchhouse, chark w ith com mitting violent assaults upon James Blake, a waiter, and Francois Piguet, a porter at Jaunay'a Betel, io Leicester-square. The statement of the complainants was, that about a quarter past one yesterday morning, the defendant and another gentleman, both equally full of wine, or something else as potent, came knocking loudly at the door, and demanding to see a Mr. Some body, a friend of their's and his friend, who they said had dined there that afternoon. Blake, the waiter, told them he knew not who might have dined there in the afternoon, but certain be was, that there was no one at that time stiring in the house but him self ar.d the porter, and therefore the gentlemen could have no pretext for staying longer. Mr. 'Williams, however, meted le stir, swearing lustily that his friend was there, and he must see him. Ile was forcing his way to the interior of the house when Blake interfered to prevent him, and he was knocked down for his pains. Piguet, a well-conditioned Frenchman, whose portly frontage ; denoted that he was used to excellent feeding, hearing the noise, came up stairs, with —" Messieurs, Messietint, vat de devil you kick all dis row up, and knock de man down for, eh ?" " Vou be you old French fool," cried Mr. Williams; "1 most see my friend, and will see him." Piguet remonstrated, Mr. Williams swore, and finally poor Francois was also made to stretch his comety ' person upon the passage-floor. The watchmen were then ca ll ed, and Mr. Williams was given in charge. In defence Mr. Williams said he had some friends whom b• j knew had been dining at Jaunty's, and he went there for no other purpose than to see them. lie was held to bail for both assaults. BURGLARY IN ST. JAMES . S.STRY.Y.T.—YffterdIIy George Nix, a well-known character, was put to the bar, on suspicion of being concerned with a daring gang of burglars in robbing, to a considerable extent, the premises of Mr. llohy, boot-maker, of St. James's-street. The prisoner was stopped by the police some distance from the spot, and from the information received they had strong reason to believe he had been concerned in the robbery. It,' however, fortunately for him, happened that he had not any of the property in his possession at the time. There being no farther evidence against him on the {present oc casino, the Magistrate thought it would be going too fa to send hint for trial, and ordered him to be discharged. The officers are still actively employed in endeavouring to trace the robbers, and from information they have received there is a great chance that their exertions will be attended with success. MARL-LA-BO?' NE OFFICE. A STRANGE ADVENTGRE.—Yeiterdiy a man, learned 71t plains Wilkins, of rather eccentric, hut woeful and dissipated ex. eerier, was brought up and charged before 31r.
