SOLEM QUIS DICERE FAL.SU7I AU DEAT LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 6, 1824. jit another column we have inserted some official statements relative to the Revenue for the quarters ended the sth of April in the last and present years, which afford gratifying evi dence of the growing prosperity of the country. The progressive increase of the Customs, in par ticular, is so rapid and extensive as to render it still more surprising that Ministers should en danger the flourishing foreign trade of the Em pire by experimental alterations of that great system of commerce and navigation under which England has attained the highest rank amongst nations. CITY, Twelve o'Clock.—Consols opened this morning at 05.1 i for the Account, at which price they have continued with little fluctuation, and not much business doing. Ido not hear of any Express from Paris. A great number of persons are in the Bank this morning giving their assent to the conversion of the Four per Cents. FOREIGN MARKET.—There was a great deal of business doing this morning in Colombia, Mexican, and Chili. The former opened at 86 to z, and got up to 911, which was a rise of 5 per • cent.; but they afterwards lowered 882. F•xtroct of a Letter from the .Agents to Lloyd's at Leghorn, dated 23d March. " Ills Majesty's ship Chanticleer arrived here the 21st inst., in eight days, from Algiers, Which port was then blockaded by the British, and it was supposed only one Algerine ship of War was out.—This vessel has given notice that on the 25th inst. she will convoy such vessels as are ready to the Westward ; at present the fol lowing are the ships to accompany her : Shannon, JOLLY ; Levant Packet, CUNDY ; William, Br,oom ; Royal Sovereign, BRIGHT MEN, for London ; Success, SHAND, for Hull ; Hope, LOVE, for Dublin ; Venus, ANDREWS, for Greenock ; Severn, FIELD, for Liverpool ; Tartar, BARKSR, for Falmouth ; and Dart, - WHITE, with timber for the Dock-yards.—The convoy may wait a very short time off Cape Corso for any vessels that may reach from Genoa, where notice is sent." (Extract of a Letter from the 4g-ents to Lloyds, at Genoa, dated March 25.) " A report has reached this place of the other vessel which had sailed from Leghorn with Naval Stores, bound to Algiers, having been captured by a British Cruizer.—By accounts from Perpig nan of the 13th inst., an Algerine Cruizer had appeared a few days before off Cape Creus, and kept cruizing off that station for two days.—A letter from Cevita Vecchia of the 12th inst., re ports that an English vessel had been stranded 50 miles distant from that port, and two others near Ancona." Charlestown Papers have arrived to the 7th March. HAVANNAH, FEB. 4.—On the night of the 31st ult. the United States schooner, Fox, went ashore in this harbour, where she now lies, but no doubt she will be got of. The English force no w in this port is quite formidable, and it has given every assistance towards getting off the Foe. It consists of the Gloucester, 74, kiperion, and Pyramus frigates, and a sloop of war. We have no late news from the Gulf of Mexico. Sanguine hopes are entertained that the late hostilities existing at Vera Cruz have been brought to an amicable adjustment. HAYTI. By a Letter received at Boston from Port-au- Prince, dated Jan. 21, it is said, that the inter course will be prohibited between Governments not ytiliing to recognize time Haytian Govern -952 I meat. Cor.omniA.—There is in the Colombiano, of the 11th of February, an account of the reception of Mr. Anderson, the Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States to the Republic of Colombia. On his arrival he was received with military lion ours,and introduced by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to several public officers, and af terwards conducted to the principal Hall of the Palace, where the Vice President and the Secre taries of State were expecting him. On being presented to them, he assured them of the earnest desire of the President of the United States to cultivate their friendship, congratulated them on the acquisition of liberty, remarked on the advan tages of taking the free consent of the people as the only foundation of political power, expressed his hopes that the improvement and future great ness of Colombia would be promoted by the con tinuance of peace, whose pursuits were sufficient to engage the whole attention of civilized man, however despots might maintain the contrary, both in their words and actions ; and in con clusion observed, that although the new prin ciples of Government had not been tried in Colombia by time and experience, yet that enough had been done to justify the most pleasing anticipations, to animate the friends of peace to new exertions, and to present to the world " a most brilliant example of virtue and courage." The VICE PRESIDENT replied by assuring Mr. ANDEIISON that the most earnest desire was felt in Colombia to strengthen and draw closer the bonds of those friendly re• lotions which happily prevailed between the two countries. In the House of Lords last night, the S:lk Duties Bill went through the Committee, and was reported without any amendment. Petitions against it were presented by the Loan CHAN CELLOR from Bethnal Green and from Mile End Newtown, expressive of the fears of the Peti tioners that the value of houses and other pro perty in these places would be greatly de teriorated in consequence of the injury which the Bill is calculated to inflict on the numerous population engaged in the Silk manufacture. In the House of Commons, the first grant al 150,000/. was voted for the alteration and repairs of Windsor Castle, on the understanding that the whole expenditure will not exceed 300,000/. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER consented to postpone going into a Committee on the proposed grant of 500,000!. for the building of Churches till Friday next. The Wool Duties Bill, and the Customs Bill on Coals and Linen, were, after some opposition, severally read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morow.— We have received from the County of Mayo (Ireland) Petitions tc , his MAJESTY and to both Houses of Parliament, against the Repeal of the Bounties on Irish Linens, which not only express the greatest alarm at the intended mea sure, but even deny the right of the Parliament to withdraw the bounties. We shall insert the Petitions in THE SUN of to-morrow. HIS MAJESTY'S ARRIVAL IN TOWN.--About half-past ten o'clock last night his MAJESTY, es corted by a party of Light Horse, arrived at his Palace in Pall-Mall, from Windsor Castle.—To morrow the KING will hold a Levee. Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, a Cabi net Council was held at the Foreign Office, Downing-street, which was attended by the Earl of LIVERPOOL (who came to town from Coombe Wood), the Earl of WESTMORLAND, Mr. Secre tary CANNING, Mr. Secretary PEEL, Earl BATHURST, the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER, Viscount MELVILLE, Mr. WYNN, Lord BExLEY, Viscount SIDMOUTH. The Cabinet sat in delibe ration till half-past four o'clock. We understand that a Brevet Promotion in the Army will appear in the course of this month. Letters from Missolonghi state that the ad vanced guard of the Greek army for the attack of Lepanto had marched, and had been imme diately followed by the division of Lord BYRON, with that Nobleman at their head. The plans of Mr. PARRY, the engineer, for carrying Lepanto by storm, had been approved, and little doubt was entertained of their complete success. The artillery corps of Colonel STANHOPE will take the lead in this enterprise. It was stated at Mis solonghi that Lord STRANGFORD had nearly bro ken terms with the Sultan, on account of the in solent reproaches of the Grand Vizier, for the loan raised in England for the service of the Greeks. g‘p,. , .,.,;( , -',l-,),4-1-7 ..02.4-1-,,, ..-7.-zo k 4. *- - .d,..e,,.. , ,.4,74.f.,,,c,,_‘ .t.1.4,ctit,1.,43,,....„..., 1 .\ int.4,a l . ,„_,... ., ~.,.........„,....4.,, „ .... , )ii, '...r, ,-. . - 1-7' 6.,... - ,- - -, -- 4 v.,' t' rft'4 4lo .. 17 (71 FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

Amongst whom were the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Sir Edward Stanley, and the Deputation from the Corporation of Dublin, now in London. Yesterday the Princess AUGUSTA and the Duchess of GLOUCESTER honoured Viscountess CREMO►tNE, at Little Chelsea, with a visit, where their Royal Highnesses partook of a Dejeunt'•.—, Last evening the Princess AUGUSTA visited the Princess SoPHI A, where there was a select Party to meet her Royal Highness, consisting of the Duchess of KENT, the Princess FEODOR E, &C. ALGIERS, MARCH 14.—Since the 15th of Feb. a strong British squadron has blockaded the port of Algiers. The English, determined on bombard ing the town, are only waiting, they say, for a flotilla of steam bomb-vessels, which is to be sent from London. The Algerines are preparing for war : they turn out of the town all those who cannot be usefully employed for the defence. The Dey has ordered that every man, from the age of 18 to 50, shall take up arms. Ile pos sesses for his defence a most formidable artillery, mounted upon paltry frames, and militiamen who are adverse to the war. Alone in his capital, he is determined on fighting and burying himself under its ruins. The bombardment appears un avoidable, unless the Dey loses his head, an' event which seems doubtful, as he does not quit his fortress, the guard of which is entrusted to a man actively devoted to his person.—(Constitu tionnel.) Private Letters from Madrid state, that a se rious commotion had nearly arise!) in that capital, from the circular of th e President of the Council of Castile to the Royalist Volunteers, having been read to them on the public parade. The Volunteers loudly expressed their dissatisfaction, and were even pr ocee di ng to ac t s o f outrage, when the French General l3outiviosiT rode Up, and threatened to call out hi s t roo ps if they did not disperse quietly. This intimation had the de sired effect. The King of the NETHERLANDS, considering that the commerce, manufactures, and agriculture of his king dom, have not yet attained the degree of prosperity of which they are susceptible, has decided, by a resolution of 0 9th March, t e e d rd i a ll m Mm, Antwerp, Bruges, Brussels, u the Chambers of Coerce and A t a a t n lists fa e t s t l l i t a e l a l b at e oie Aal ) Dort, Ghent, Leyden, ivid dieb _ rg, Ostend, and Rotterdam, where persons may subscrib e their names for the purpose of forming a fund for a society destined to encouraire the above branches. The fund shall be twelve millions of florins, and may be raised to 24 millions; the interest shall be 4 per cent. The King will take tbr his own account the s h arps w hi c h s h a ll A not have been taken on the last day of June next, to complete the sum of 12 millions. — (Brussels paper.) The Dowager Countess of LOSsDALE died yestesday morning at eight o'clock, at her villa, Broom House, Fulham. Died, yesterday, at the house of Mr. \VIIITE AVES,father-in-law, i n Fleet-street, aged 37, JOHN Esq., son of the late JErtEmAx TAY- Loa, Esq., Oculist to his MAJEST Y , and Member of the Col- TAo , RICHARD his Col lege of Surgeons. Mr. J. R. TAYLOR had held a situation in the General Post-Office nearly twenty-two years, and, for about the last eight, that of one of the Inspectors of Franks. He was an intelligent, attentive, and meritorious officer. He possessed an excellent understanding, and had received a sound classical education under the Reverend and Learned Doctor I3Ann ow, at his former academy in Soho-square. His knowledge was various and extensive. He has left an amiable widow and two infant children to lament the loss of an affectionate protector. OLYMPIC. THEATH E.—This Theatre, NI hick has been tolerably successful during the season, was opened last night for the. benefit of Mr.W.WEsT, the husband of Mrs. W. WEST, of Drury-lane Theatre, one of the best of the present London actresses. Mr. W. 'WEST performed last season with considerable success at the Haymarket Theatre, and displayed so much merit that we wonder he did not attract the notice of the Patentee Managers, as he is well calculated to support characters of a lively or grotesque de scription. But Managers are Monarchs, aud what ever may be the merit of Performers, if they are not supported by powerful interest, they have as little chance of procuring situations at a Royal Theatre as a place at Court. Mr. W. WEST last night performed Sam Swipes in a piece altered from Exchange no Robbery, Peter, in the Farce entitled The Devil and the Lady, and a part in an-- other Farce, entitled Love and Laudanum. In all these characters, though of a different kind, he displayed such versatility as well entitles him to a station on Patent boards, and he sang two comic songs with such effect that he was obliged to give them twice, and even a third repetition was demanded. On the whole, if the public could before-hand have been apprized of his merit, he would certainly have been attended by a more numerous audience. THE ARMY. The 2d division of the 58th Regiment of Foot, which recently embarked at Portsmouth for Ireland, arrived at Cork on the 2lith ult. Two Companies belonging to the 3d Royal Veteran Battalion have arrived at Jersey from Cork. On the arrival of the re mainder of that corps from Cork, the 72d (or the Duke of Albany's own Highlanders) will proceed to Plymouth for the purpose of relieving the 61st Regiment of Infantry, which is ordered to Ireland. The Detachments belonging to the 3d Regiment of Dragoon Guards, which recently proceeded to Liverpool, will, it is un derstood, be shortly ordered to march back to Manchester. THE TENTH HussAns..--Several caricatures, founded on the late publications respecting this distinguished Regiment, have been published lately in Dublin. One of them represents a Parson calling on an old woman for Tithes. She shakes a Hussar ont of a band-box, and says—" There is a tenth for you." The Reverend Gentleman declines the offer, adding, " I don't tithe monkeys."—Another represents an Hussar, who, having gone into a shop and 'made some pur chases, receives a penny-piece in change ; he asks what it is, and, being informed, calls on his friend Torn, declaring he had got '' a thing called a penny," and invites him to look at it. THE 7TH DRAGOON Guaans.---,We find by a letter written by Brevet-Major Power, late of this regiment, to the Editor of the 11 7- atelford Chronicle, that the 10th Hussars is not the only corps likely to engage public at tention. From the circumstances in detail in that letter, anti accompanied as they are with the official correspondence, we cannot doubt their accuracy. The case of Mr. Power and his six brother officers is a hard one. The corps, .it appears, was stationed in various cantonments ; but preparatory to an inspec tion by the Commander of the Forces, the detachment were called in, and the corps then together were inspected, and manoeuvred by Sir Colquhoun Grant for three days in succes sion. Lord Combermere appeared on the ground only one hour of one of the days. The different manreuvres were not gone through, in the opinion of Sir Colquhoun, with a celerity to please him, and lee reported accordingly. The result was, an official communication to Major Power and six of his brother officers, to - sell or retire on half-pay ; the va cancies not to be filled in the usual succession by the remaining officers. Mr. Power states, that a corps, divided as it Ins been, could not be expected to enter at once into tie spirit and practice of the evolutions lately laidllown by the Com mander-in. Chief, and that until then Captains of Troops or Lieutenants who had never been called on to perform these duties ; that the weather was wet, and that the corps was fatigued by long parading, when Lord .Combern,ere came On the ground. His representations were, however, not attended to. He demanded an inquiry into his conduct as an officer and a gentleman, but no inquiry could he obtain ; he and his brother officers were obliged to retire; and, as he says, under circum stances that place the commission of every officer in the service in no desirable state of security.—(Diblin Morning Post. ) Mr. Battier has written to the same paper, to 'state that he is not, as alleged, the son of a merchant, but of a field-officer.

LONDON SESSIONS THE SILK TRADE.----Yesterday, after the Lord Mayor, accompanied by Mr. Arabin, in the absence of the Becoeder, with Aldermen Wood, Thorpe, and others, had b and list oefepreviously prises were signed on the part of the manufacturers by Messrs. Newbery and Sons, Mark Simpson, Wm. Gilbert, John Thorp, and Wm. taken their seats, Mr. Adolphus, who had been p rev i ous ly ret a in e d' by Mr. Scudamore, rose and presented a petiti on , w i t h a new list of prices for ratification, from the Ope rat i ve E ng i ne agreed Silk Weaversoil byandboth. their Employers, petitione w hich had Underhill, Esqrs., and upon the part of the journeymen by Wm. Charlton, James Lewis, Robert Sillers, Thomas Sawrey, John Hart, Thomas Wilson, and Wm. Baker, Secretary._ Public notice having been previously given and no opposition offered, his Lordship, with the rest of the Bench, agreeable to the provisions of the Silk Act, immediately ratified the new list of prices. • Mr. Henry David Blythe, a respectable shipowner and sail maker, residing at Limehouse, was indicted for assaulting Mr. J. Jones, an attorney, in Mincing-lane. It appeared that a Capt. Bond having been arrested fnr debt was bailed by Mr. Blythe, and the Captain omitting to put in fresh bail at the ensuing Term, Mr. B. received notice that he would be looked to for the amount of his bond, unless the Cap tain was immediately surrendered, or bail put in. Mr. Blythe determined on the former course, seized the Captain, and was bringing bins along, when he requested to have a few minutes conversation with his attorneys, Messrs. Jones and Howard. As their- office was nearly in the route, Mr. B. assented ; but when they arrived there Mr.. Jones expressed a doubt whether the defendant was in a situation to surrender the Captain, and said he would hear Mr. B. harmless if he would let the Captain go; and the latter declined to . proceed a step farther with his captor. After an hour's altere::tion Mr. Jones desired parties to quit his premises, as his avocations were interrup'xd by the dispute. The Captain hesitated (to use Mr. Jones's phrase), but Mr. Blythe's hesitation on the same point was not hone with the like forbearance. Mr. Jones " very politely" insisted on his going, took him " mildly" by the collar, and pushed him into an outer office. This Mr. B. resented with a blot , and he was immediately given in charge to the street-keeper, who had been called in, and taken before a Magistrate. Capt. Bond remained behind. Mr. AnoLPIII3s, for the defendant, said if any thing but a farthing damages could have been expected by taking this case into another Court, such undoubtedly would have been the course the complainant would have adopted. Ile con tended the separating Mr. Blythe and his prisoner was a rescue, and the pushing him about by the collar was the first assault. The Jury found a verdict of Guilty, but they considered the provocation very great. Mr. ARABLN, in passing the judgment cf the Court, said, Gentlemen must be protected in their own houses ; the de fendant, from his education and situation in life, ought to have known better.—He was sentenced to pay a fine of 51. CAPTAIN ROCK IN CORK.—On WedliPsday night a notice of an inflammatory tendency was posted on the door of the Rev. T. F. Saunders, in Blackpool, cautioning all persons from taking a store whi c h was occupied by a man named Barry, who wqs ejected out of the premises on the previous day for nor-payment of rent. The rotice was signed Mooldigh, secretary, amid death and destruction were very liberally dea't out in it even to any person who should presume to take it down. This last threat we blush to say, had its full effect with severel respectable persons, who suffered the pernicious document •o remain until removed by one of Mr. Saunders's inen.—( Cork Constitution.) At the Middlesex Sessions this day, Mr. Ex- Sheriff PARKINS obtained a verdict of Guilty against JOHN SCOTT, the principal witness on the late trial in the King's Bench, betw een the Sheriff and Byrne, for an assault committed on him in the avenues of the Court. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sza—l respectfully entreat you to allow mean mention that the Letters referred to yesterday at Union Hall, as testimonials in favour of my Naval History, were published by permission of the writers as long ago as November, 182'2, and necessarily refer to the fir,t part only, as the dates, had they been given, would have shown. avail myself of this opportunity, in the most solemn manner to declare, that I never held tht- slightest communication respecting the egclpe of the Constitution with any Officer belonging either to the Leander, Newcastle, or Acosta, or even with the Officers of the Levant and Qyane pri soners on board of the former. 6th April, 11324. WILLIAM JAMES. ASSAULT UPON MR. JAMES. UNtoN-lIALL. Yesterday this Office was crowded before 12 o'clock with naval and military characters of the first rank, this case having excited the greatest interest every where, particularly amongst the friends of the unfortunate Sir lcorge Collier. The assault warrant was executed on Satur day evening, and Captain John Phillimore, C.B. gave bail to appear before the Magistrates (L. B. A I.T.EN and C..T. CHAN- E s, Emirs.) of this (Mice, to answer Mr. James's complaint. Mr. James was attended by Mr. Adolphus, the barrister, and Mr. Harmer, the solicitor. Sir John Phillimore was accom panied by his brothers, Dr. Phillimore, M.P., and Mr. Philli_ more, the Chancery Counsel, and a great number of naval friends, amongst whom were Sir Pulteney Malcom, Captain Randolph, ILN., Captain Jefferson, R.N. &c. Mr. Harmer requested, before the commencement of the in. quiry,•thit Sir John Phillimore would give up the name of the Centleman who had accompanied him to the house of Mr. James, on Friday last. Sir John Phillimore said, lie did not exactly sec the necessity of doing so, but lie was willing to be decided upon that ques tion by fie opinion of the Magistrates. The Magistrates issued no direction to this effect, but desired Mr—lames to look round the office, and ascertain whether the indivieual, to whom his solicitor had alluded, was amongst the crowd. Mr. James looked round, but did not observe the person whose presence he wished fir. Mr. Harmer said, that if Sir John Phillimore refused to give up the name of the person. a warrant should be applied for, for the apprehmsion of that individual, whose appearance was well known, rlthough his name was as yet a secret. Mr. A 1.1. EN then told Sir John Phillimore, that if he wished fur an adjournment of the case, in order to consult a Solicitor, he should be accommodated. Sir John replied, after having thanked the Magistrate for this courtesy, that all he wanted was a fair hearing, which he had not a doubt of - procuring at that office before the present Magistrates. Mr. James stated, that at about 2 o'clock on Friday after noon, while he w.ls writing in his study, at his house, No. 5, Chapel-fields, South Lambeth, he was alarmed by a violent rapping at the hall-door, which continued until the doer was op elect by the female servant, when two persons, having the appearance ofgentlemen, one of whom was Sir John Phillimore, entered his study, with their hats on. Sir John, who was in a violent rage, fkaming at the mouth, and scarcely able to articulate, pointed to " The Naval .1 iistory ," which happened to lie on the table. He seemed to be anxious to demand an explanation concerning some statements - in that history, but was prevented from making hin.self intelligible by the fury of his passion, which agitated him in a most extraordinary manner, and, in fact, gave him the appearance of a maniac who had just started from confinement. Sir John continued to point to the history ; but, so blinded was he with rage, that the i so ) in a o r an i l o()fir. reference,it s v r oh,ni,cnghtliyhiec;:didii exhibited to t e : s e , rr t et h so e e had no fitness f lication o tote t tto between t p a t c r p i lL: i t t ' , l: s icli an l c i l ad e b io eeh c e , r l eL e te l e: Pe t par:h himself. el graph f. e and was as follows : ess's notice " COMPARATIVE FORCE OF THE COMBATANTS.

Yet, with a distance that would have suited carronades, these twenty. fur-pounders did not do so much execution in proportion to the time they were acting, as had been done on ninny other occasions by an equal number of eighteens," &c. Witness himself read the paragraph Mond, and Sir John said it was incorrect. Witness replied, that he had the informaion from the books of the Navy-office, and he believed it to be cor rect. Sir John then swore the work was a rascally one, and written by a scoundrel. Witness, indignant at such an instil:, told Sir John " he lied," or that he w as " a li ar ;" at h earing which, Sir John took from under his coat a stick or bludgeon, and struck him violently over the head. Witness jumped from his chair, seized Sir John, and would have humbled him, had it not been for the interference of the man (he must call him) who accompanied his assailant. At this juncture Nrs. Janice. who was unwell, rushed into the parlour, and averted another blow directed at him by Sir John. She screamed out for a constable, and Sir John and his companion ran out of the house. Mr. CHAMBERS.— How did they go out ?—Mr. James. They ran out with all possible speed. Mr. James's servant girl depk,alal as to the admission of tl: e two gentl emen , w h o, she said, rushed into the parlour, the door of which was instantly shut. She heard the names of " scoun drell," " rascal," and she also heard the sound of blows given with a stick. Upon entering the room, she saw her master's face covered with blued, and her mistress wresting a stick from the hands of one of those who had entered. She likewise saw the two persons run away. Mr. CHAMBERS asked the girl whether the stick was of the size of his wrist or of his finger ?—she replied that she believed it to be about the size of a man's finger. Mr. ALLEN—Are you positive that Sir John Phillimore en tered the house with the stick concealed ?—Witness. On open ing the door I perceived the stick in his hand. Mr. ALLEN then called upon Sir John to explain, if lie thought proper, why he had committed this breach of the peace. Sir John then stated, that upon his recent return from the South American station to Portsmouth, he dined in company with several naval officers of high character; amongst whom. the conversation turned to the subject of " James's histo ry of the Naval War." One of the company observed upon the occasion, that he (Captain Phillimore) was " in for it," as to the action between the Euretus and Clorinde. - This as surance naturalln prompted him to refer, as soon'as possible, to the book : in which he found sonic gross inaccuracies. His next impulse was, to consult with his friends* upon the steps most advisable of adoption. Their advice was, that he should at once come up to London, to make the necessary inquiries upon a suhiect which he considered as affecting. hisprotessi , mal character in an intolerable degree. Ile accoraiingly came up to own without delay, and, accompanied by a friend, called se tie house or 111 r. James at the time previously stated. . Ile was willing to acknowledge that he was at the time agitated in an extreme degree, in consequence of the gross mis-state ment respecting the engagement between the frigate he had. the honour to command and the Clorinde. Ile would appeal to the heart of every man of honour, whether some allowance ought not to be made for the burst of passion with which he had been described to have commenced and finished his address to the author of the calumny. He had fought and bled in se veral engagements, and never in the history of his naval life had he witnessed greater evidences of gallantry than upon the occasion on which " The Naval History" had so falsely and unfairly animadverted. One of the misrepresentations was that which stated that the Eurotas frigate fought with 2 4-pounders. She did not fight with 24-pounders. A few days before the engagement wit's the Clorinde, she eichanged her 'uns f 18. pounders, with which s he obtained a most signal victory. Sir John Phillimore then admitted that, under these aggravat ing circumstances ' he had assaulted the complain ant ; but he denied that he had struck the author of the calumnies with a bludgeon. The stick he had used was that which he now held in his hand. (The stick was about as thick as a man's little fin ger, and appeared to be a riding stick.) Mr. ALLEN said, that under all the circumstances he felt it his duty to require hail for Sir .John's appearance at the ses sions ; but he sincerely hoped that the affair would be amicably arranged before their commencement. Bail was immediately given, and the parties left the office.
