A Paper, whose, attachment to the existing Go. vertunent.of France, whatever form that .Goiern:. meni has; assumed, observes last night, -that it does notobelieve. the French meditate any serious attack 'Upon .this Country, because they would throw away . the fives of :thoulands, and cr;pple their Marine in the attempt,—Witb respell to the latter consequence of Invasion, to our Enemies, we Shalt) only obserie, that: bere is . a proverb which wisely says, that " Nought is never, in danger." With .resped Ai) the-former, we refer to the History. of kllßetrnlu. titan, from its cornmenCemenr, to discover in What , instance there has ever appeared any. econonly of bloodshed on the part of the One and Indivisible Republic. Itiivery reasonable to imagine.that the Natives of:Egypt will give all the assistance in. their power to the British Forces in that country, in order to complete the conquest over the Republican, J ArMy. They cannot but know that the English Govern. ment .has no intention to obtain ans establishment there, and only attempt to drive away the.Ftench in order to assist an Ally, and avert all.poisibility of clanger ~to our Eastern Territories. We may therefore fairly presume that the French, though they have taken the precaution to disarm the.inha bitints of those places which they immediately oC.: cupy, have to dread the incursions of every neigh bouring-Power; asAvell as to contend against Bri tish .ialoirr, which hlis already obtained' advantages enOtth to prouiiie an entire overthia* of the tierny. . . : An.idea prevails that the chief objea•of the In visfoi of "Portrtgol by the French is to destroy the Vines, and thus force the English Nation to drink French Wines. This is certainly a deep stroke of poliCY, and what rather favours the opinion of its probability is, that -the.

Gt ics the one part, and Alt; PuLLEA on the other.— question Was upon the form of Pleading. that the ground of his objolion to the, Declaration was, thit it was seeking_ to 're cover bra loss Upon a Policy of Insurance without • stating. wild. had Sustained tfilt loss; who was in terested in the-property insured, or for whose . be, nefit the Adionwas brought ; and the form of the Declaration cc as adopted with a design of takine the opinion of the Court; whether such an Adiu'A z ,: x _, : _, could be, supported . ? This point was ct,rtainly co t a.t 2 sidered in the Coe . of Crawford and Hunter ;'but the consequence of the determination of that .Case in the way it was determined, had not 'wen fully stated to .their Lordships ; the deciding" rh t such • an Adion as this 'Might be supported without proof of interest in the Assured, would be prottuaiver many and very great inConVeniencies. One half of -!• the Policies of Insurance on goods were on those that were shipped in.FoteigitShips; and the Case pow, fore the Cpurt Was therefore extremely import:int, 111(1 the Under-writers .were very anxious to know, ..Vbether these insurances were to be considered as in. ic rest, or whether they might be considered as Insur. ances Wholly unconneeted with interest, because very. .• different consequences would result as that point was.: de tertnined — iine way or the-ot her.. The whole of the under,writing upon:inStirance upon property of this, 4ind had. been transatied'Upon: the idea of Interest being proVed ; so much . So, that part of the Premium ; llad been, returned upon. short Interest appearing., • He then proceeded 'to argue, that the Assured •not , - only ought to have an interest in the. pr3perty he r insures in a foreign ship, bit that- he, ough(to State that interest in his declaration, because - if 'he did not, the Under-writer cciuld.not know who the real . party wasiir the anion, because it .might be 'car. ried on in the, name .of, the Agent, and . if the real , party interested was ,not _disclosed .on the ,'record, it could not .be known until the Jrial, so that the Underwriter would not know bow to . shape his Defence, and this,' he contended, was a hardship`= because the under.writer might possibly . hay4 ; *-4,„', claim on the real Plaintiff, which he might been. titled to setoff', is an answer to the anion, of wl-34 1 11 . -:,, • he was deprived,' if the name of the party interesteddid not appear upon the record. He argues{ on these and many other points, of,which, ar present, we are unable to give a sketch. He concluded with mitting that the- . Derendant was entitled--to the judgment of the Court.. Mr, Pul i t. tut argued very ably on the other side, and contended, that in the case of a Policy of in.. i. surance of Goods in a Foreign Ship, it was not only not necessary to prove the interest of the A.stirkd at The trial, but unnecessary . even to state it in the Declaration ; - and in support of this, he quoted the , case of Crawford and Hunter, as a case in point. i —lt is in the Eight Term Reports, page 23.—He quoted Several other authorities to the same-effect, and maintaicad, that before the Aft of the 19th. of. CsEo. II; Policies of Insurance on, Property even in English Ships of all kinds,, might he entered into ; ' but that Statute had prohibited such Policies of ,In surance as might be deemed Wager or Gaming Po licies, the operation hqweveri of that ,Ad, was confined solely. to . Property in Engli;jl Ships, conse quently the Law, as it regarded Insurance of Pro perty in Foreign. Ships, rerrctined the same as if that Statute bad never past. By the Law, before the.passing of that Aa, there was_no necessity that interest should be proved, - or stated, as the De fendant insisted in this dtiOn ; and therefore, the Plaintiff; in this me, was intitled to judgment. This we give only as a sketch: of the que4tion, not prolessirig to enter on the arguments by which , either of these, t'wo Lari,:.l Gentlemen supported his.Clienes case, but of . which we may. hereafter. give a lesi - defeetive account.
