THE DUTCY MAIL, TRANSYLVANIA, JJNZ 24: THE Hospodar of Wallachia, Prince MICO.AEL Suzzo, who had fled, has suddenly removed from Transylvania into the Russian Territory. It ap pears probable that he feared the vengeance of the Turks for his having so hastily left Bucharest, and fled to Cronstadt. The Turkish Pasha who is now at Bucharest, has written to him a very menacing Letter on this subjeEt. Tranquillity will be best restored in Wallachia, it is here believed, by that Principality coming un der the Austrian protalion, which will be a real benefit to the inhabitants. VIENNA, JULY 7. THEIR IMPERIAL MAJESTIES are expeEed to leave Presburg between the 12th and 15th, the principal business having been now gone through by the Diet.

AMONG the stipulations of the Treaty Of Amiens, those concerning Mafia seem to be on the point of beirg carried into execution. They write frcm Naples, that the ibe:. Sicilian Troops, to whose prote(!tion the residence of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem is to be provisionally confided for one yAr, are ready to embark for that Island. The Russian Troops who have long been in garrison at Naples ; and who were to re-establish tranquillity in the lonian Republic, or that of the Seven Islands, have not yet sailed. One Of ti►ese Islands, however, Cefa/onia, had nearly been exposed to a new Revo ,lution, by a Conspiracy, which was to have been carried into eft on Holy Thursday (April Is), but which was happily discovered and prevented. ANTWERP, JULY 15. THE Omiiow, a small Brig, is just arrived in our port from Newcastle, laden with Coals, being the first arrival of this kind since Government grantzd their importation: We have the most flattering intelligence from our Deputies in Paris, respeaing our Port : they have been graciously received by the FIRST CONSUL, and promised every thing they could desire s that may tend to the prosperity of this Port. Nay, he even de clared, at the Conference held with them, that it was his intention to extend all the privileges and aid to Antweq, of which it was susceptible,' for' bringing it to its ancient splendour. We therefore expect the like privileges which have been just granted to Marseilles. The Deputies from Havre, wbo are labouring with might and main ,to disappoint our aspiring hope, had the mortification of getting a refusal of their Petition ; they having had an audience about the same time. Yesterday about twelve o'clock, a fire broke out in the house of the Right Hon. T. ST EE L E., in Mansfield —street., Portland-place. The Laundry and Stables were completely burnt to the ground, and the house is considerably damaged. On Sunday last died, Admiral DUMAR RSQ, of Pil ham Place, Hants, aged 73.

WILLIAMS, of Birmingham, who IW cashed him a draft of tool. immediately on discovery of the forgery set Out, accompanied by Mr. T. EvANs, in pursuit of him, and overtook him at Bishop's Castle, where they found him in bed ; and re covered from him the amount of. the draft Mr. WILLIAMS had cashed.. The man still remains at large, and, in. all prObability continues to prosecute his depredations on 'the Public. LAW. REPQJ COURT OF KING'; Tyr.? , . SITTINGS BEVORE LORD ELLENISOROUGH AND A SPECIAL JOE?, IN GUILDHALL, LONDON. EARLY in the day his Lordship .observed, that at all events a great arrear of business would neces.. sarily remain, and as it was settled that the Sit tings should be resumed in a:lobcr, the better way would he, not to protrad the Sittings much longei, but to afford Gentlemen an opportunity of going upon their Circuits, for which reason, he should not sit here after Saturday; but it was to be un derstood, that the Sittings should commence again in Caober, in time to go through all the remaining causes, so that there should be no more remanent, and so that the Parties might have judgment at the same season as if their causes were tried now, without any adjournment in the Sittings. The Gentlemen of the Bar thanked his Lord ship kindly for this accommodating arrangement. BLAKE V. THE GOVERNOR AND COMPANY OF THE RANK OF ENGLAND. This was an action to recover the sum of toool., being the value of a Bank-note which the -Plaintiff •became the holder of for a valuable consideration in the way of his trade, which i s t h at o f a J ewe ll er, in Leicester-Fields, and which was paid to him by a person of the name of Dallone, or Dallon, as he affeCted to call himself, and who had written up to the Plaintiff, in April last, that' an uncle of his was about to advance him money to set him up in the business of a .Gold and Silversmith, at Bath, where he resided, and who ordered a great number of articles of the Plaintiff in the way of his trade, whichorder the Plaintiffexecuted in part, nut having time-to execute the remainder. Ibis was first ordered on the sill of April.—On the tath Dallone came to Town far the goods, and on the zad he came to pay for them, and they were packed up for him. It was agreed, before hand, that nothing was to be received but cash or Bank-paper for .these goods; and upon which, Dallone said, as he was going to pay for these goods, " I must trouble.you with a Bid," upon which the Plaintiff said, he would take no paper but Bank-paper, on which Dallone and said, " I did not mean to offer you any other," and then produced the Bank-note in question, which was for wool. and dated in the year 1793 . , and after looking at it for to while, and after taking the opinion of his shopman upon it, who observed, that as it was highly improbable that a note of this size was forged, thought it was perfeelly safe to take it, and the Defendant took it .and gave in exchange for it 4001. and upwards in other notes, and a ehedc of 751. upon Messrs. Drummonds the Bankers ; upon which Rd/one went away and was heard of no more, in a coach, the number of.which was One.—He said he lodged at the Saracen's Head. The following day the Plaintiff sent this note of toool. to the Bank for payment, but pay ment of this note had been long ago stopt at the . Bank under an indemnity to the. Bank from those to whoni it really belonged ) it having been charged to. have been secreted. from his Creditors by one No_ land a Soap-boiler, who became a bankrupt in the year 1793, and who pretended to .have been over-. turned in the Chester coach, and to have lost his pocket-book containing this very note, and several others to the amount of about 30001. and on which Noland was apprehended, examined before the Commissioners, and committed for not answering to their satisfaCtion. Upon which the Plaintiff waited on - the Gentlemen of the Bank; and had several interviews and long conversations with Mr. KAY the Solicitor for the Bank, the result of which was, that the Gentleman who had indemni fied the Bank, who had already paid the money upon this note, resolved on putting the Plaintiff to the proof, how and under what circumstances he received this note, contending, that he had con duCted himself in this matter in a way from which it was fair to infer that he .reasonably must have been satisfied at the time he took this note that it was stolen. The trial lasted the whole day, from about ten in the morning until half after five o'clock in the afternoon ) in the course of which a zreat many extraordinary things occurred, which render the case extremely interesting, and the detail of which we shall enter into the first opportunity, it being a case of vast importance to the Public, but it would be only.misleading our Readers, as well as giving just reason for complaint to the Parties, to endeavour to biing, within a short compass, a re port of this most remarkable case. We shall take the first opportunity we may have to detail the substance of it ) that being at prevent impossible, it being a case full of minute circumstances, each weighing something and ematributing to make up the whole of the complexion, and consequently could nut, with propriety, be omitted in any thing deserving the name of an account of it. Mr - . PARK 'having conduEled the cause on the parr of the Plaintiff, and Mr. ERSKINE for the Defendant, with their usual professional zeal and ability, and my Lord CHIEF jttSTict having summed up the whole master with perfed fairness, and having made many excellent observations on the particular parts of the evidence, left the whole to the Jury, who, in a few minutes, found a ver cii('A for the Plaintiff—Damages to the amount of the Note, zoool, COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, 2t. sirriwcs AT GUILDHALL, BEFORE bib. jUsTICk: BRE. r ROtSER. qi. COOPER. This was an Ataion brought against the Defend ant to recover the sum of tool. paid to him under the following circumstances It appeared that the Defend -ant, who was stated by Mr. Serjeant BAILEY, Counsel for the Plaintiff, to be a Barrister in Norfolk, who was sometimes to .be found at hide-and-seek, and sometimes in the Castle of Norwich, bad issued proposals in the year 1799 for establishing :a Tontine, consisting of 250 Subscribers at tool. each; the whole sum sub scribed, with all accruing profit, to be divided amongst the surviving Subscribers on the. first of January, 1808, and to be secured in the mean time on Frt:chold - E4tateS, cectifiet.l by a SUCYCX.QT Lo be of . . . .. . . , racr ente . x; - .lue. Thie propiosaif: r... - trt pub!isilai Ey the Defend3nt ; and it was - added that Subscrip tions would be received by several retable Bankin g -houses in Londo n , an d b y t h e Set:tm:tyr in Norfalk-streeti in the Su-and, LL , latter (..)f whom was the Defendant himself. The Plaintiff, allured by these pinposalsi subStrib. ed tool. in the name of infant, and waited patic: - Itly for a considerable tines., for the completion of the plan held forth by the Defendant, by securing the promised, I.F.tates. At leng:h the Plaintiff wrote to the Defendant on the sUbjcet, and received for answer, that the Tontine was not yet full. He wrote again and again, and received the same answer. It was at length clearly discovered that the Defendant had been endeavouring- to raise Money upon Promises, which were never intended to be fulfilled, nor had he the means of fuliiiling them. This anion was brought to recover this sum so paid, as money had and received bythie Lefendant for the use of the Plaintif The Receipt given by the D fendant for the tool. paid to' him by the Plaintiff being admitted and read, which referred to the printed proposals, Mr. Serjeant WILLiAms wok an objeffluu, that these proposals, which must be considered in the nature of an agreement, as being r!ferred to in the Receipt, were not stamps, and therefore could not be read in evidence. This objetffion was, howet/er, over-ruled by Mr. Justice CiIiINIBILB, and the Proposals were read, a were several letters from the D4endant to the Plaintiff, but the Delenl-Int'S Counsel 'decli.led pro dUcing the Letters from the Plaintiff to the Defend— ant, nbr did they attempt to show that any step baJ t - ,een taken to settle any Landed Property as a se curity for the Tontine : both which they had notice to do. Persons from the different houses, Where it wig stated at the bottom of the Proposals that Subscrip tions would be received, were called, who provdd that no Subscriptions whatever had been received by them on account of such Tontine. It being a very clear case, the Defendant's Coun. sel declined making any defence ; and the Jury found a Verditl for the Plaintiff for the Sum of tool. with three years' Interest, making the Sum DEER, DUCKS, AND CRANES. LOUP BROOKS. The Plaintiff was originally from Africa, and of R . black colour, but . passing from that quart , ..r of the Globe to America, he there pursued tile bent of that disposition, his name imported, and gaincd his livelihood by traversing the woods and wilds of that immense Continent, catching deer, kids, ducks, cranes, or any other prey that fell in .his..way.— It happened.lthat in the course of his predatory wanderings he caught a deer of .most untpmmon form and nature--wiz was unlike any other .of the known species of that animal; it was in short a non descript.' Soon after, he surprized a certain convo. cation of ducks, and made several. of them captives ; these also differed froth the ordinary race of ducks. . He next had the good fortune to seize a crane by the leg before it had time to spread its wings-- This he feasted upon, 4 %but preserved its feathers, which were of great value. He then embarked with his freight on board a vessel bound fOr Eng land, which he knew was the best market for all manner of exotic rarities. Scarce was the vessel moored in the river Thames, when tidings reached the Defendant of its arrival. The Defendant i s t h e proprietor of an e xtens i ve Menagerie, at the top of the Haymarket. Anticipating Mr. Pidcock, he hastened on board the ship, and barained with the Plaintiff for the d eer , t h e ducks. • and the crane's feathers : for the latter he agreed to allow at the rate of two guineas and an half per ounce ; for the ducks he paid ready money, and the deer he took to his Menagerie for sale. He sagaciously re marked to the Plaintiff, that as the deer was a male, it 'Could not propagate any of its kind without a female, and consequently that its value was infinite- ly below what it would have been, had it been ac companied by a female deer. Unfortunately soon after it was in 'his possession, it died, and he re fused to make the Plaintiff any recompense for it. The Plaintiff therefore brought this action to reco ver the value of the deer, and the sum due to him for the feathers, which he alledged weighed four ounces. The Witness called on•the part of .the Plaintiff; was a waterman of the name of Jones, who was pre sent at the contraft ; he proved the bsrgain as to the feathers, but confirmed the defence as to the deer, that it was delivered on sale only, and not absolutely sold to the Plaintiff. T►e 'Mendota insisted that his having paid for the ducks at the time he bought them, was presumptive evidence of his having also 'paid .for the feathers, but as he had no receipt to produce, and as the witness positively stated they were not paidfor when they were taken away by the Defendant, 'the Jury gave a verdia for the Plaintiff, with so Guineas damages, We understand from our.
