The effort was accordingly made, but in vain, and the unfortunate Prir,ce was inhumanly mursl.:red.

MINISTRY OF ARINE. ' . , R Blonde Privateer of Bourdeaux, Captain AREGNADDEAU, (the Owners GRAMANT, Cirt cAßV; and Co.), has returned to Port, after a cruize of ti irry.five days; havin g o n board 228 Prisonersi the Crews of tight English Vessels which `§he capthred. ~ nr of them have arrived safe, of which two are richly laden from bemerara ; a fifth was sunk. The latter was the Wolverene, Royal Corvette, Captain HENRY GORDON, of 73 men, eight pound carronades, and two guns, and six carro nades, rz.pounders, mounted on swivel carriages. This Corvette was escorting a Convoy of eight sail when the Blonde fell in with her on the 24th ult. in 48 N. latitude, and zr. 25. W. longitude. She struck her Colours after an alion of three quarters of an hour, in which she had ten men killed and one wounded. The Captain of the Blvd,' says, that he had .not a single man wounded, when the Enemy thrice call._ ed out that they had surrendered ; but that some shot fired by the Corvette after this declaration, wounded six of his men. Capt. AkEGNAUDEAU, on the surrender of the Wolvere Ire, had nothing to prevent him from cap_ turing the vessels under his convoy. But as the corvette was sinking in consequence of •the damage received in aecion, the French Captain preferred to employ in saving the English crew, the time which ,would blve been occupied in pursuing the convoy ; and it was not until he had received them on board, that he made sail before the wind, in which direc tion lu supposed the convoy, which wa, now out of sight, had made the best of its w a y. The d a y a fter he rejoined three of the vessels which he had cap cured. On the sth inst. the Adolphe Privateer sent into Calais an English Vessel uf zoo tons, bound from London to Falmouth, with a cargo or tea, sugar, rnercery, &c. besides to,coolbs. of gun-powder. She was taken in the. night of the zd inst. Two other prizes captured the same night have entered 'Dieppe ; the one laden with flour, the other with Coals.

The report of Mr. I\IAn , F I ELD having accepted the situation of Lard Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, appears to have been premature. any one been appointed to that high►, lucrative, and important office, he would have taken his seat the first day of Term. Yesterday the Loyal North Britons were in speeted in Hyde-Park, by COL JENKINSON. In consequence of the notice which had been sent to the Corps, that in case of aaual Invasion, they would probably hlt.ordereLi ro march to the point oriffack, the muster was uncommonly well attended. Col. JENKINSON expressed particular satisfaction at the general appearance of the Corps, and the state of their arms. The First Company afterwards invited Lieut. Inomits HAMILToN, wbo is leaving the Re giment, and going into the Regulars, to an eleglnt Dinner at the Stock Exchange Coffee-house, where they voted him a valuable Sword, a-a a mark of their esteem, for his gentlemanly manners, and the attention he has always shewn to the Corps. The infamous conduct of the French Cover inrnt with respeitt to the late unfortunate Duke D'EN- Glit EN, has, on account of the Duke's high rank and virtue, attracted the particular attention of mankind ; but many instances of the same kind have occurred, though they have not risen into notice. One has recently come to our knowledge. Mr. C. a native of Switzerland, a gentleman of great talents and worth, animated by the same principles as those of the celebrated ALLOYS lkeottgo, espoused his cause.—After the entire subjugation of the Swiss, Mr. C. was advised by his triends to remove from Switzerland, lest on account of his principles he should fall a viCtim to French violence. He there. fore removed to Geneva, where he was soon traced by tile flagitious Agents of the Consular Go vernment, put into irons, and conveyed to Paris. For a short time he was confined in the Templ e , but whether he was removed to another prison, or what has since become of him, nobody can tell. The brother of Mr. C. is a respeetable Merchant in this capital. . _ _ Lord IiouERT FITZOFRALD's memorial address. ed to the Chief Secretary of State at Lisbon, in consequence of the infamous calumnies inserted in the Lisbon Gazette, by the domineering requisition of the French Ambassador, is honourable to his Lord ship's spirit and prudence. Such moderation forms a striking contrast with that of the French Ambers. sailor, who insisted upon the admission of the offen sive article, while the British Ambassador vindi cates with proper dignity the insulted honour of his Country, but does rot involve the Portuguese Go vernment in any danger of exciting the resentment of France, by demanding the insertion of an an_ swer to those infamous slanders, which it was 'c hittinily obliged to publish. Few people will perhaps admit that the Minister has arrived at year.; of discretion, though it is evi dent by his lee parliamentary appearance, that he is come to twenty-one. It is said that the roads of France are covered with n a k e d C onscr ipt si , marching towards Han over. The French Soldiers are generally in a habit of nixiedness, when they are on the march towards an Allied State. A fire_brand, tied up in papers, the edges of which were sm eared with brimstone, was found on Wednesday last near to a staddle of straw i n t h e r i c k yard of M r . Theophilus Wharton, a t H ead i ng ton, in Oxf or d s hi re . It is suspeaed the brand mu s t have been thrown into the yard wi t h a v i ew of set.. tins fire to and consuming the ricks and barns on the premises. ET Rl'.

Mrs. RH LI NGTON, BARTL EM AN, and FL as usual, displayed their talents with great success.—Miss MFI.VILLE, a very promising vocal Performer',i made her first appearance •on this occasion. She particularly distinguished herself in " He shall feed his flocks," frun die Mess;ab. Her recep tion was highly gratifying, and is a promising omen of future ermoeuce, The room was well at tended by the higher circles, particulary the PRINCE of WALES, the DUKE of CAM RIDGE, the Earls of DARNLEY, FOP.TE:-CUE, CHESTERFIELD, Lord WinTwoRTH, some of the French Princes, and a fine sliest of female elegance. THE THEATRE.—The excellent Comedy of The Meru Windsor was last night brought forward at Covent. Garden Theatre, with new dresses, and in a general style of decoratiOn not unworthy of its intrinsic merit. KF MB LE, for the first time, appeared in the charaaer of Ford, and he never acquitted himself to more advantage in the familiar drama of commln life. The workings of a jealous mind were expressed with great force, delicacy, and effea. The soliloquies were peculiar. 1' well given. • In the scenes with Falstaff, Kr..M. EL E, under au- affeaed ease and spirit of Mas ter Brook, displayed the struggles of a suspi cious temper, and upon the whole, we never saw the charader sustained with so much critical pre cision and spirited eirea. 'before. Mrs. GLo. vEa exhibited genuine humour in Mrs. Ford,' and Miss CHAPMAN ably supported her in Mts. Page. The part of Falstalf's Page was so well given by little BENSON, that we suppose he was instruleti by Mr. KENII:LE. COOKE'S Falstaff was marked by strong sense and humour through out, and the whole of the Play was represented with such ability, that we hope its success on fu ture occasions will prove that public taste is nut so fa: corrupted by modern trash, as to he quite in., sensible to dramatic excellence, stamped by the ap. probation of former rim's. Kr Mu L E's dress was very rich, and, no doubt, according to the old costume ; but it differed very much From the fa shion of the garb allotted to the other charafters. The scene in which the supposed Fair:es appear, was managed in a Very fanciful, pic'ture,..que, and striking manner. The House was very well at. tended. The Comedy of Love for Love drew a tolerable audience last night to !brut} -lane Theatre, consider ing that the higher charaders had not altogether the support of first-rate Performers. RAYMo ND is a useful ABor ; and though Valentine is somv.vhat above his reach, he acquitted himself at least re speaably. Mrs. You NC. is rather Of too grave a cast for the airy spirit of Angehca. Miss Port gives the charafier of Mrs. Frail with such truth, that we forget it requires a younger representative. Dow - roN's Sir Sompsso Legend is a good bold piece of acting. Nothing could be more appro. priate than the spirit and. wild humour of Mrs. JORDAN in Miss Prllf. SA I. oNIGN has recently received some original Music from his friend of the most e.•:- quisite kind, with which he is-soon, we find, to gratify his patrons. lON 1 tts, speaking of the state of public affairs in his time, says, " it is not the but the Phpician." Unhappily at present, the Co& q th,rion is threatened by a more drcadirol ma 1.-..dy than ever: attncked it before, and we never tvvre bef, , re , in the hands of a Doo7or less prepared with the :civet. remedy. Bo NAPARTE and his minions know very well how to murder, as we find by the instance of the n'nfOrt . ir. Mte PICREGat7, in atHition to innwnerable other proofs, but they have obviously " n'ti \ 'skill in surg er ] ," by their mode of describing an imlradica• ble ;su;cdr. We are glad to find, that- Government solemnly deny having given Uny sannion to the alledged Cot resporience between our Minister at Munich and the French Traitor, for otherwise, conside:ing the sults which have been employed on the occasion, ac cording to report, it might be said, that we make Ducks and Drakes of our m)ney. . ±.437. REPORT, ~ s .-, i N . • COURT Or BENCH, GUILDHALL,; APRIL iS. • Tuts being the first day ,of Term; the kettirn froM the different Gaols; arid of the Convids at hard laboUr and under transportation; were read before the judge's iti the osal forrti. BORDEN/0/E GREGd. In this case Mr. GARROW moved far. a rule to she w cause why the vet-die - 4: had for the Plaintiff at Guildhall should not be set aside; and a nonsuit en-. tered. First, because the Plaintiff(who sold stock on the sth of April, a 803, when the forged letter created all the confusion which the public have already heard so much of), did not attend until the last hour of the market on that day to tender the transfer, which he was bound to do, as must be in ferred from the principle recognized in' the cases of LancaShire 'v. Kiliingworth, in Lord Raymond 686; Thointon v. Moulton, Strange 53z.3, which the Learned Counsel relied on as strikingly in point ; for it was as follows :—At the opening of the books the tie° Brokers met, and the. selling Broker told the other he was ready to transfer. The other al:edged that it was usual to indulge the buyer for tieo or three days, and that he would find his principal in that time, which the other not dis a agreeing to, nothing further was done: And f o r w an t at having !he buyer called at the books the first day of the opening, the Chief Justice ruled it not a good. render, and the Plaintiff was nonsuited. He also cited the ca•e of the Duke of Rutland 'v. Batty, same book, 777 ? -aS analogous and applicable. The seconol point on which the Learned Counsel relied was, that the Plaintiff was not as prompt and expeditious in selling this stock to another; accord ing to the said Statute, as he ought to have been,' For, as had been observed by the Learned ju Lord ELLENBOROUCki, in the case of Heckfecher v. , when an ACI of Parliament prescribes a certain requisite to be performed in order to entitle a Plaintiff to recover, it is hut riaSonable ret infer that the intention of the Legislature is, that such requisite should be performed within a reason_ able time. In the present case, the Plaintiff de ferred making a second sale until the r eth day of April ; an unreasonable, unnecessary delay, and such as the Law will not countenance, for no man ought to be allowed to play fast and loose with his stock,' taking chance for the rise of the rriarkez.—Rule granted. MANstort.liousA.—Glarge Ilibbart underwent a final examination before the LORD MAYOR, charged with k , Leafing or embezzling a banker's cheque, value 451. I 2s. 7d. upon the banking-house of jansons and Co. Lombard-street. The Prisoner was a clerk in the banking.huuse of the Prosecutors, and was employed to coiled Bills, which he gave in at the settling-house. The cheque was paid on Friday, the 1311 of February, and supposed to have been put into the box at the settling-house, for Thornton and Company, bankers,. BariholumeW., lane, which Was unaccounted for by the clerk from that house; and, on an investigation it appeared. that the cheque had been paid to a man of the ap. pearance of a porter. were immediately circulated, offering a rewaTd - for the person who had received the amount, which was seen by Smith, a porter to a tobacconist's in Leadenhall-street. He went to the house of Thornton and Co. and inform ed them that he had received the money for the draft, in three 101. Bank Notes, and the remainder in small notes and cash, at the order of the Prisciner, .to whom he gave the money, and had received one shilling for his trouble. Smith first knew the fries soner on board a King's ship, by the name of Oliver. The notes received for the cheque were found on the Prisoner on his apprehension, which notes were . , produced by the constable. He was fully corn... [Witted fcr trial, and the parties bound over to pro.. secute. At the Enniskillen assizes ! on Monday sennght, William flarpur was found guilty of the murder of - Maguire the following are the partic . ulars of this horrid transaaion Maguire was a farmer of some respeftability, as also Harpur ; they lived a little distance from Ma_ . guire's bridge ; in the month of August last, Ma guire told Fitrpur, that he was going the foilow_ ing day to pay his tent to his Landlord, and was de. icient to the sum, and required a few guineas. liar pur desired him to call upon him in his way, and he would give him the sum he wanted ; upon Ma. guitc's calling and getting the money, Harpur ob served, that he, Maguire, wanted shaving, and ad vised him not to go in to dirty a manner to his landlord, and Harpur proposed to shave . him ; he accordingly brought Maguire up stairs, and while in the aa of shaving him cut his throat, and,.with the back of a hatchet battered his head in such a manner that he instantly expired. }Jaipur conveyed him out, and buried him in the front of a ditch in a corner of his garden, likely to escape observation, where there was a bramble bush. On Maguire's being missed he was traced to Harpur's, and every part of the garden and fields where ground had been dug up was searched for the body, but in vain ; a man afterwards in coming out of the garden, jumped by chance upon the spot where it was ; the h.o , k ►brokke, and the body tumbleel ou►t into the ditch : there were innumerable evidences produced to esta. the fan. tlarpur was ordered, for execution on Thursday sennieit. At lE)?wnpattick Aisizes, Thomas Patterson w as infliaed, for that he, being a degraded elergyman i tot* 14%. - . , r) him in November last to celebrate., and celebrattd, a marriage between John Woo'stone and Niargili"et Milligan, both Protestants. The mar riav by the Prisoner was proved by the said J. Woolsrbne and Margaret his wife, and Mr. Brett, Register of she Diccesan Court of Diwn Lrd Con nor, attended ssith the sentence of s4ii Court in 1799, passing degradation upon the Prisoner.— Counsel,lor . GI:oaou IVIooRF, argued with a good deal of ingenuity, to spew the proceedings and serf. fence of the Diocesan Court irregular, but the se. ,veral points made by him being over-ruled by the Court, the Jury found a verdict of Guilty; and the Prisoner was accordingly sentenced to be hanged in one month, hum the 7th of April inst.
