" e:TIgEN MINISTER, " informed you by one of my, last Dispatches, of the Pardon which I was disposed to grant to General Toys. INT. This ambitious man has not ceased to conspire secretly since the moment I pardoned him. He only sur rendered because Generals CNIRISTOPHE and Dxsse k i, txxs saw that he had deceived them, and refused to carry on the War any - longer; but seeing that he was abandoned by them, he endeavoured to organize an insurreaion among the Culti vators, and to make them rise en name. The information I re ceived from all the Generals, even fromGcheral DESSALINzs, of his eonduci since his surrender, left me no doubt upon the subject. I intercepted the Letters he had written to a Mari of the name of Fo tvr A IN E, who was his Agent at the Cape. These Letters prove beyond a doubt, that he was conspiring to regain his former influence in the Colony. He placed con siderable reliance upon the sickness which prevailed in the Army. Under these circumstances, I did not think it right to giiie him time to effed his criminal purposes. I ordered him to be arrested : this was not easy to be accomplished ; it was nevertheless effeeted by the skilful measures of Gene ral BRUNET and of Citizen FERRARI, my Aid-tie-Camp, whom I had entrusted with this business. " I have sent to France with all his Family, this Man, who is so profoundly perfidious, and whai with so much hypocrisy, has done us sa much evil. The Government will see what is fit to be done with him. " The arrest of General, To ussA till. has given rise to new assemblies of the Rebels,: two Chief.; of the Insurgents have been already arrested, whom I have ordered to be shot ; and one hundred of his principal adherents have been also arrested; a part of Whom I. have put on board the Frigate La Mahon, which I have ordered to sail for the Mediterra- The remainder haVe beeh disposed of in the different Ships of the Squadron. " I am continually occupied iii the re-diganization of the Colonyi with as little force as. possible ; biit the excessive heat i and the maladies which afflid us; render the labour extremely difficult.

The late Mri'4NCELoi who died en-Sunday last at Eton, retained his bodily powers so well, at the advanced age of eighty-six, that he gave a lesson in fencing a few days before his death. He was a very respeftable eharader : his manners were elegant and courtly : he was well acquainted with life, and familiarly known to the most distinguiSh ed charaders in Europe for the last half century, He had long resided in this country, respected by. persons of the highest rank, and particularly countenanced by tile ROYAL . FAMILY. In the arts of Fencing and Riding he was long at the head of his profession, and by his skill in both, brought them into general adoption as necessary branches of fashionable education.

THOMPSON; Mr. Erskil: stated this to be an AaioH foi goodg sold and delivered; namely, a parcel of shoes. The PlAintiff and Defendant had had some fornier ings, in Which the Defendant had paid for the goods very honourably; btu now he set• up a defence; which, even if it succeeded in point of Lay.; was any thing but justice: The Plaintiff was by btisiness Currier; and by A Statute of King James the First; the policy of which the Court would hate nothing to do With, it•was p rov id e d t 6 that no Currie;, or other- radestnan.theieiin named; who shOuki be con. cerned in cutting hydes, leather; &c. shall bt al_ lowed. to make up leather into bouts; sho'eS; &c. nor should sell Shoes; hoots, B.re. or carry an other trade in which the cutting of leather vi*as used."-- This, he said, was the substance of this ease, but he contended; that the provisions of this Aft of Parliament did not apply to the. Plaintiff in this Adion; for although he was by trade a Currier, and had sold these shoes; yet, lie did dot Make them; nor was concerned in Any branch of their manufac: ture. The truth was, -that; as a Curlier,' he sold a great deal of leather to shoemakers, and ftom some of them ; instead of money, he took slioeS, and he sold them again; as be contended he lawfully might, for which reason he trusted the Djertdant'4 unconscientiotis defence would not avail him in thiS case. There was rio difficulty about the sale ofthe goods, nor of their value, nor was there any pretence that they were paid for ; but it appeared that the greater part of them were bargained for, and sold by the Foreman of the Plaintiff, in his Warehouse behind his House, detached froth the - Public, .Street; and in a place where they were not exposed to Public Sale, &c. and were delivered front thence to the Defendant. It was therefore con tended on behalf of the Defendant, by Mr. MAR: RYATiillat the Plaintiff could' not recover in this Adion, inasmuch as this was not a sale in marker.; overt, that is, a Sale in open shop or rnarket; it vas void by the. Statute ofKing James I. for regiiilating the trades of Tanners, Carriers, Shoemakers; &c.; by which it was, amongst other things enaded; " that no such'manner of person orpersons shall utter . or cause to be uttered or sold; any manner of wares appertaining to the craft or mystery of any artificer , using cutting of leather, ,otherwise than 'in, open shop, or com Mon fair, or market; upon pitin of for. feituie of all such wares so sold, and re's. for each such aO, &c." Mr. MARRYA't contended that this Ad made the goods thus sold; contraband; and de clared them forfeited; and therefore, nothing could be recovered by the sale of theni; the sate itself liting illegal. This -Ad of Parliament had never been repealed, althdugh several parts of it had beeti amended.—lt was amended by the igth Geo: III: c. 54.—ithe 40th Geo. III: c. 56, and 4oth Geo: 111. c. 53 but not any part of this provision Of that • Ad{ was touched: • Mr..ERSKINe said; that in CaseS wherein all the justice was on one side by adarission,which depended upon the provision ofan old It of Parliatnent;which no professional man could be suppdsed at this time, of day to carry in his head; especially as it was a thing so far out of the way of common pradice, he hoped the Lord Chief justice would reserve to hint the right of arguing this, Case; in Term, before the 'Court ; which his Lordship - , said he Would ; and therefore a verdid was given for .the Plaintiff gene.: rally fOr the whole charge, subject to the opinion of the Court upon the Case to be stated; the amount of the daniages to, be reduced as the Court should think fit: This course was • taken because about worth of the gdods Were said not to be subjed to this Objedion: . . SeVeral Records srete lien Withdrawn,i and iii several others the Parties appeared; bait were not ready for trial, for want of Witnesses, &c. and some for Want of briefs being deliVered in due time; the .business .4, the Court cadre to a stand; upon which Lotd Eb_ce , isotiorra t i said, a It is rather too much for me t o b e g i v i ng up pa r t o f t h e lOng vacatio n ; and which I shall do Most readily; far the purpose of transading btisiness; and ad.; ministering the justice of the Country to the suitors of this Court; if the time regularly appropriated for that very purpose; is throWri‘ away; as it hat been lately; and as it is ncir'. I did that; some time ago, Whith I hoped would operate . as a Whole.. some alarrti upon those Who had thus trifled with the time of the Codrt: I really think that the best; if not the only - course; to be now taken; is ro call_ on the causes in their turn s ; and strike them all otit where the parties are not ready; and to hear applications, afterwateS, for restoring theni as ex. ruses may be ma d e O ut; a nd a s Cirenthstanees may appear to require. But this I know; that if any Suitor of the Court find himself aggrieved; either by the fault of his Witness; or of his At., torney; he will find a willing ear in Court to hilt complaint ; and I- should think he would not find it .difficult to obtain redress: This applieS not to Witnesses Only ; but to to ttornies also ; nor' is if enough that these Gentlemtn. ShoUld appear per.: sonally it Court when the causes in which the/ are concerned ate called on; but they ShoUld pare Counsel; in due time; for the discussion their" causes: It ainiost as bad as not attending to de4 liVer briefs to CounSel just before the cause is called on ; for by this ; it is impossible to do - justice td causes; There is evety disposition at the Bar to pay due attention to every case that comes be.; fore us ; but it should be remembered; that Colin. sel cannot, any more thanother men, understand things by intuition; I wish some of the Suitors who have So mirth reason to complain against Ara torn* Would bring their gr i evances • b e f ore th e Coati; upOn which, tot only the Matter of costs and expellc6 should be pidvided for; but I think"- in Some cases, it would be worth while to consider whether the party to bianic . should lie alfoWed to continue upon tire His Lordship then good.: naturedly sat stilt , f6r a quarter of an hour; waiting for a Witness in a common .case of goods sold and delivered,' but desired it to be understood ((dal' henceforWarde- there is to be no indulgence on ae:i f cont of ,parties not being ready ,:
