DUTCH AND 11,0113URGH MAILS. FLUSHING, JuLy 6. ON the 4th, a small ~.:.zter arrived here from London, laden with piece-goods, addressed to the counting-house of Mr. J. HOLLEMAN, of this City. This vessel, immediately on her arrival, was stopped by the French Custom-house Of ficers, and at once taken pos , ession of, under pretence that it was laden with contraband goods. This seizure, however, which was like to have produced the mast serious consequences for our City, did not occur without violent opposition on the part of the people on board, aided by Mr. HOLLEMAN, who positively insisted that there was nothing contraband in the Ship. In the mean time, this circumstance had attraeted a great number of persons towards the quay where she lay. The mob, with indignation at what had happened, manifested their displeasure towards the Officers, by pelting them with stones. The French Guard, having got intelligence of this, a Corporal and four men were instantly sent, to keep the people off from the ship. But the mob having by this time considerably increased, the choler of the people was so greatly heated on seeing these French military, who were un,:,ble to cope with them, that they pushed one into the water, and compelled the others to flight. The French Commander immediately caused an Alarm to bear, and ordered the whole gar rison under arms. This seemed as if it were the signal of a frightful carnage ; the whole city col ie6ted„ and the rage of the mob being wound up to its height, on beholding the French Troops s a ter rific cry for vengeance ascended from among them. A particular class, called B,yhitt, singularly dis. tinguished themselves, exclaiming--" We have arms too !" and made a motion to go and fetch them. In this critical moment, our Bailiff ventured himself in the midst of the rabble, and succeeded in quieting them by the force of argument; in consequence of Which, every thing ended without further misfor tunes. There is still a French guard on board the Vessel in question. MIDDLEBURG, Jny y. To-night, about eleven o'clock, a most dreadful Ste broke out in the district of the neighbouring Arnemuiden, occasioned by the springing of one of th e stoves and the powder.house, at the Powder Mill the Grenadier, standing on the haven.d.ke it the 'side of Newland. In consequence of the high wind which then blew, a piece of wood was t hrown . on one of the roofs of the Salt.manufac. "IT, standing at Arnemuiden, which instantly tight fire, and was soon in a general blaze ; dur. ing this, the flames extended, it being a high wind and low water ; by which Means the engines could Not sufficiently play. Seven of the leathern pipes were totally - consumed, and two others only slightly damaged. No lives were lost on this melancholy occasion ; one woman, only, was greatly hurt by The flames. The damage sustained is incalculable. VIENNA, jinn SO.

Not less than twenty persons received very severe wounds yesterday' at the Hustings at Covent Garden, and several were fradured in a most shocking man. ner. Among the sufferers were several women and boys, who were busy in carrying off the scattered fragments.. One min of the name of Thomas IV._ kits, was carried to the Middlesex Hospital, and so much injured was he, that the faculty give but indifferent Popes of his recovery. Another person had his arms lacerated in a very shocking manner. It was reported in the course of the day, that several persons had adually been killed, but after making a good deal of inquiry on the subjea, we are happy in being able to state that it is unfounded. Two men, taken into custody on Wednesday afternoon, for being particularly alive in the riot near the Star and Garter at Kew Bridge, and as_ saulting the constables in the execution of their duty, were yesterday brought before Sir R. FO at Bow street, for examination ; and the charge being proved, they were ordered to find bail for their appearance to answer it at the Sessions. On Wednesday the 23d ult. the lands of Clay_ hills, in the neighbourhood of Aberdeen, consisting of about 79 acres, were sold by public roup for the sum of 70701. Departed this life, in a deep decline, at King's_ Down, near Bristol, on Sunday the r tth of July, the accomplished and beautiful Miss TEMPLE, daughter of Lieut.-Colonel TEMPLE ; a young Lady whose transcendant merits will be long remembered by her surviving friends ; and the rising splendour of whose talents, could only have been excelled by the generous sensibilities of one of the noblest of hearts. Of the elegance and delicacy of her taste, the bril liance of her imagination, and the interesting graces of her wit, and sentiment, no higher proofs can be displayed, than the fine designs that adorn the windows of Messrs. Akerman and Fores, and the enchanting pathos of her musical composi tions, which are in the first style of genius, and speak a language the heart well understands. Yesterday morning, at an early hour, a man who had taken lodgings the night before at a public house in Darkhouse.lane, Billingsgate, fell from a three pair of stairs window, and was killed on the spot. It is supposed he arose in his sleep. The Flora, Artis, of Yarmouth, with wheat from Dantzic, has put into Copenhagen Roads rather leaky, LAW REPORT.. COURT OF KING's BENCH, ,TirLy 15'. SITTINGS BEFORE LORD ELLENDOROUGH AND A SPECIAL JURY IN WESTMINSTER HALL. THE KING '2l. LLOYD. MR. ERSKINE stated, that this was a Prosecution instituted by the Society of Clements Inn, against the Defendant; for a Nuisance. It appeared by Records, that this was a very antient Society. It was first a Religious House, and afterwards they de voted themselves to the study and pradice of the Law, as early as the reign of Edward IV. This Society was attached to that of the Middle Temple. One of the greatest ornaments of the Law, and who had formerly been a Judge of that Court,Mr. Justice AsHRuRs4, was a Member of that Society. This Prosecution was not instituted from spleen, or injtistiee, but from necessity. The Defendant was a Tinman, and had a shop close to the wall of the Society; and by the violent and incessant ham. mering of the Defendant and his men, the Members of that Society could not pursue their business: To constitute a Nuisance it was sufficient that it de prived men of their comforts. Mr. Allen and Mr. Hayman, two of the Gentle men in that Inn, were called, and Mr. Allen said, he had had Chambers there nearly 46 years, and had never been disturbed in pursuing his profession till about a year and a half ago, when the Defendant came to his present shop. They began hammering sometimes so early as five in the morning, and con. tinued incessantly. Sometimes it was more mode. rate, but it was at other times intolerable: The other Gentleman had resided 27 years in the Inn, and confirmed the evidence of the former wit ness. It appeared that the Defendant had done every thing in his power to lessen it. Lord ELLENBOROUGH thought this was too minute a thing to be purued by that Society, where only a very few of its Members were affeded by it. He thought the flutes and fiddles that were con stantly heard in the Temple, tended Co distrait the mind, that was intent on study, as much as this noise did. And no man had ever yet tried the powers of the Law on these musical instruments.— These cases of Nuisances had been carried sufficient ly far already, and he had no desire to extend the Criminal Law in any resped whatever. He hoped the Defendant would pay a proper attention to the comforts of the Gentlemen of this Society, and if he did not, Civil Actions might be brought against hi►n. Mr. PARK, on the part of the Defendant, said, his Client was ready-to do any thing that any in different person could propose, that was consistent with carrying on his business ; and he had atually given up the working of seven men, and had only three. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said that was very fair. It was agreed that some indifferent person should go to the spot, and should say what was right to be done.—Not THE KING against soLomoM AND ANOTHER. Mr. GARkow said, this was a Prosecution by a Lady against her Husband, and her Sun, and from the relation in which the Parties stood, it was agreed the Jury should find the Defendants both guilty, subje& to a reference..--Guilty. The Sittings ended before eleven o'clock. An extraordinary Society has been for some time es 4ablished at Paris, which is not very generally known, but which may be classed with the many whimsical ..Ktitutions that great Capital has produced within These few years ; there is a set of young Painters, wit have taken upon themselves the name of Medi tators, and who form a distind Society amongst themselves"; they go about, dressed much at - n.l- the Roman manner, naked leg:;, with a Toga over their shoulders, no shirt, and the neck and shoulders un covered ; in short, they ate truly Originals in pearance, as in opinion. They pretend that there never was• a Painter of excellence—not even RA PHAEL—They pass their t i me toget h er f or h ours without speaking, and also before their easels, which are covered with cloths, in the ad, as they pretend, of profound meditation. At length one of these Meditators has produced a pidure—his name is JOSEPH HUE, a Pupil of DAVID (as indeed they are most of them from his School), whom he calls a Sign Painter, and to prove the contemptible opi nion he entertains for the state of the Arts in France, he has chosen for the subjects of his sublime talents, David, the Painter, La Laude, the Astrono mer, and a Musician, crowned by Ignorance and Folly. This performance is looked upon by the Meditators (only) as a chef d'oeuvre, and they have had the impudence to expose it at a house in the Place Vendome, where it may be seen for a livre each person. Notwithstanding the reputation of Citizen TAL_ LE Y RAND PER I GDR D, there is one circumstance in his diplomatic charaaer which is not altogether to his credit. In the treaty with Holland, which was drawn up by this Minister, he literally gave away to that Republic a small town belonging to Prussia. The consequence of which was, an immediate re monstrance on the part of the Prussian Ambassador, who made the Minister sensible that the town was a part of the Prussian dominions, and not of the French Republic. It was accordingly struck out of the Treaty. A similar circumstance occurred once before when M. DE LA CRO Ix, the antagonist of Lord MALMESBURY, described Stockholm as one of the towns of the Hanseatic Confederacy. The present may he very justly considered as the• Age of Profit to Learned Men in France. The Astronomer, LALANDE, enjoys a revenue of above zoool. sterli►►g, LA GRANGE, the celebrated Geo. metrician, and LA PLACE, are both very rich ; and what is very remarkable, all the principal Chemists hold lucrative situations under the Government.— CH AP FAL, the Minister of the Interior, was a Chemist. Yesterday se'onight, a man and woman from Ba. singstoke, were brought to Win s ehester for the mur der of 2 young man, by severing his head from his body, OLD BAILEY. SECOND DAY-THURSDAY, J ULY Joseph Rodgers, Maly Ins wife, and !forme, were charged with a treasonab:c offence, in treason ably and feloniously couoterfeir &c. the current silver coin of the Realm, to wit, ~ n o. shilling, The Case a2ainst the Prisoner, rested principally on the evidence of Edward Rogers, a Police Officer, who is particularly active in Ctoes of tits narrative His of the affair ran to a considerable length, and his descriptions relative to the various implements, tliaterials, &c. used in the process of coining, were very circumstantial and Minute. ..111.2 jet of his account was, that in consequence of in_ formation he had received, he proceeded, on tile 26Ji of June, to Suffotk_street, Bentonville, at which place the Prisoner ROdgerS resided. He took his - station in a neighbouring house, and closely observed the pretrikes of the Prisoner; he was seve ral hours employed in this way, during which time he observed Mary Rodgers several times go in ana Out, and also the Prisoner Horne once or twice ; he observed that those persons came out very cautious_ ly, and always looked around in order to sec whe ther they were observed. Having seen sufficient to justify his suspicions that something very improper was going forward within the house, he sent for a Warrant and also for assistance, under the apprehen sion that those within would resist. Being rein forced, he knocked at the door, which was opowd by Mary Rodgers. She endeavoured to shut the door against them, and cried our, " Here they are." HoweVer the party speedily obtalned en trance. The Prisoners Horne and Mary Rodgers were found with their hands black, and apparently as if they had been recently at work. On going up stairs, they found the Prisoner, Joseph Rodgers, in the aft of getting out of the window. He had an apron on, was without a shirt, and bore every ap pearance of having been just in the at of coining. In this room were furnaces, crucibles, moulds, &c. &c. ; a number of counterfeit shillings in different stages of preparation, from the blank state to one in which the shillings were nearly fit ftr circula tion on some of them the letters I S were marked. One in particular Mr. Rogers described as in a state perlefily fit for circulrtion, the colouring be ing in a perfea state at the time, but it had since, greatly faded. It was on this counterfeit shilling the indidinent was founded. This narrative was in most points corrobmateli by the other Witnesses; and the defence \ made h 5• the Prisimers, &c. was such, as induced the Jury to find Joseph Rodgers Guilty—Death—and to quit the other two. Samuel Robins was charged with stealing two pair of doe_slops, eighteen pairs of gloves, in an unmade state, and one pair of breeches, the good; of Thomas Lingham. The Prosecutor is a Breeches-maker, &c. in the Strand, and the Prisoner it appeared had worked in his employ about three months. In consequence of some information the former received, he went to Pritchard's the Pawnbroker, in Short's-gardens, Drury-lane, and there found a part of the property laid in the indictment, which it appeared the Pri. soner's wife had pawned. It also appeired in evi. dence that the Prisoner had given the doe-slops, i. e. pieces of doe-skin ready fur making up into. breeches, to another of Mr. Lingham's workmen, in order to make them up, which he accordingly did ; and the breeches were produced in Court, of which Mr. Lingham identified the materials as his property, by means of his stamp appearing on the leather ; the workman also proved, that he made the breches by order of the Prisoner, who said they were for one of the customers. The identity of the gloves was proved nearly in a similar manner. In his defence the Prisoner averred, that he bought the breeches for rl. 35. 63., from a person who looked like a Gentleman's servant, and a Witness was brought forward by him to prove, that a per son came into the Prisoner's apartment, while they were drinking tea, and sold him some damaged leather. However, the Jury not deeming this de.. fence sufficient to invalidate the charge, found the Prisoner Crui/ty, after a very short consultation. George Spikes and lames Hollis were indicted for stealing a basket, containing a quantity of wearing apparel, the property of Mr 3. Joyce Dace. The Prisoners, two young lads, it appeared, were seen, by one of the witnesses, together, near thr. House of Mrs. Duce, a laundress, at Islington.-- Hollis went in, and instantly came out with a basket: of clothes, with which he and Spikes, who remained near the door, made off. The alarm was soon given; they were pursued, and were overtaken in the at_ tempt to get over some adjacent paling, after having thrown away the basket. These circumstances being clearly proved, and the Learned Judge being decidedly of opinion, that under the Law, they were both equally guilty, The Jury found a verdia against both to that effect. The Fretmdschaft, Havighorst, from Bayonne to Bremen, is lost on Tegelers Plath : part of do; cargo is saved at Cuxhaven—one man lost. The Hupe, Calder, in ballast, is lost near the same place : —crew saved. Two other ships, names unknown, are lost also at the same place, laden with sugar and coffee. A few days since, Mr. ROB ItcsoN, farmer, of Cotton, in Lincolnshire, intending to go from Gainsborough to Hull, by water, to the Eled;on, being a Burgess of that place, had proceeded but a few yards from the inn where he slept the preceding night, and eat a hearty breakfast that morning, when he dropped down and instantly expired. On Wednesday last, between two and three o'clock in the day, three villains, accompanied by a boy, had the audacity to open a back w indow of Mr. Sharman's house in John_street, Pentonville. The family being abroad, fortunately they were seen by a servant of Dr. De Valiingers, who procuring as. sistance, went to the house by the garden, with the hope of oking the robbers, but were only successful. in securing the boy, whom they found in one of the bedchambers, and lodged him safely is ills watch. house, onor .oi ly in his this s the lies sur- them r of s of. ager hose fol -era!
