At half past three i;wl• we anchored in front of the Enemy's Flotilla, eo . t wo fathom water, tinder Barfleur Batteries, and wh ich a heavy fire against the two Brigs, qliokh were the immediate objea of Lieutenant z , ti () cH's attention. The Batteries and the Flo -43.4 opened a warm and Well direAed fire against - ' It is allowed that upwards of one hundred shOis passed btWeen Our Mas 4. Previocs tO the commencement of the Action, our Commander . had liven orders to the Bloodhounil to board the Rehab: licanCornMandant on the bOw; while the Besi/I:tk should do . the like on the quitter; but; Unfortu nately, the- shoalnesS of .the water, obstructed this bold and Well concerted plan. .His Majesty's gate the Maidstone, heaving in sight, made the sig. nal Of recall, which was instantly obeyed by the Bloodhound. In consequence of the close attention our OfficerS and Men paid to their duty, we remained an hour longer saluting the French batteries; and had the honour of firing the last shot:—l am sorry to inform you, that notwithstanding our utmost efforts, the Flotilla escaped ; and, 4 conceibe, have reached either La Hogue, 'or Isigney. . Perhaps we may yet gi4e a good account of them before. they reach Havre de Grace, the place of their destination. The gallantry of Lieutenant Goocit's attempt is ac knowledged by Capt. DONNELLYj of the Maid- stone,in terms .of high commendation. —For, innately,' we 'have suffered no loss; Which it the more remarkable, _when ,we consider the cloie, heavy, and well,di'reaed fire of the Republican Batteries and Flotilla. " P.S. The only damage we sustained was the cat-block being shivered' to pieces. . Our friends 'in England may surely rest secure, when two . of His Majesty's Brigs, manned with only 5o ,men each, could give battle to such a force as is stated above, and hoist the. Flag of DetianCe in their_ teeth. In consequence of our Attack, three of them ran a ground. Lieut. GOOCH is in good htalth. As we' are well manned; I hope .soon to have the plea-, sure of transmitting you some news more worthy your attention." The following is an extra& of a 'letter - written .by the Sargeon Of the Hannibal to the Rev. Mr.- WILLtAms, of Romney, whose . son was killed at the tittle that. Ship Was.takon. It strongly contrasts the barbarity with which' the' French crews treat _their prisoners, with the generosity of the English towards those Who fall into their power. _ " Capt. 'FERRIS and nifself both feelingly con dole with you - on your son's death ; yet it may be a consolation to you that he died like a hero. He was the first that was wounded on the pobp ; and the same shot killed the Captain's-clerk, knocked Capt. FERRIS doWn; and killed six, marines. Your .son's right leg was entirely _smashed to pieces, and the left shattered, besides -being otherwise much bruised. I amputated his right leg, and took - every possible care of him till the a:Eon wasover, which lasted five hours ; after which the ship caught .fire in three different .places in the cockpit ; and I sincerely viish I could draw a veil, over thedread ful catastrophe which then followed ; as the French and Spanish soldiers and sail - ors, in extinguishing, the lire., trod great ,number s the wounded - to 'death: Y9ui- son, however,: surfired; and late in the evening I gat him sent to the.hospital at Aige sitas; -hut from the toss of blood, and the dreadful cotittisiOns, ye was quite, ezhauSted,. and,:expired next day. :Ile-bore his mislottpnes with-the greatest courage, rid often declared; .he did not mind:his own vvounds ? Or_evendeath, 'provided we were but 'successful. None of us saved any of our'clothes. And although I sent him to the hospital in a coat and matrass, yet they Thad taken every - thing from him:" The- folloWing is the Sentence on Lieutenant_ Colonel WINTFR, on a Charge 'exhibited against him by Capt.

The man was accord lusty brought to the Office, when the person in ells tody being—put on his.oath, declined swearing posi r tively ; and it turned out, on investigatiOn, that the Prisoner had sold the horse in this man's name, and given his address. This. was accounted for by the man having, about the time the horse was stolen out of the park, left the town of Hampton, which was his residence ; but a complete alibi- was proved, several persons belonging to Woolwich Warren at.. tending to prove he was at his work there at - the time the horse was sold by the Prisoner..

Bs, ESSEX ciiEtmsEoxv, z-, BEFORE SIR NASH GROSt .',ND A Sl' IC • DOE, ex pert:. TtioltNroNv. LANDLORD AND TENANT, GARROW said, this was a.ques,roo Landlord and Tenant. He knew the fury . care to dispose of such a question with as :n salt partiality towards he Plaintiff% as if all ofthemwo•i! Landlords. kie never saw a case in whigh ~t was less possible .to doubt the propriety Of a Landloid's determining to make his Tenant surrender his Lease, nor , had he ever heard of More gross- miscondia non the part of a Tenant to provoke 'his Landlord than that which was the subjea of complaint against the Defendant. 'Sometimes Landlord, co:npiaincd their Tenants did not perform their covenants, he.: cause they did not pursue that course of husbandry which Was the custom of the Country ; but Juries told them, if a Tenant was not bound down by th-.• terms .of his Lease to Tollnw a particular course of agriculture, he was at liberty to adopt that whictl • he thought - best. In the ,present instance . it had been expressly stipulated, that the DA - endant should do such and such things, and refrain . from others;, if, therefore, he• had e titcred into covenants, and wilfully broke them, there. was no one who -would • not say he ought 'to 'Surrender his term. It would be shesvn that the Defendant WaS warned not to con. du& himself in the' manner h i e had done. There were several grounds upon which the Plaintiff insist. ed the Lease had been forfeited: in the first place: the rent was in arrears The Defendant, however. had paid the amount of it into Court ; but he should • tell his leartred Friend. such a payment was no answer ;' fo: if a Tenant covenanted to pay his rent at a.certain time, he was bound to do so ; and if he did not,• his Lancifyi - rd had a righr to deprive hiin of his Lease. lint the other Subjeas of compl'aint 'were more material--it was alledged, that he had kept the premises; house, and buildings in a most mi: serabie state. of repair, notwithitanding the Plait tiff's- Steward, after looking over the Farm, arid finding it in a state of dilapidation, had assigned him a sufficient quantity of oak and elm to effect the necessary repairi' ; he had allowed him as much elm as would produce 2000 feet of plank. ' How! would. the Jury sUppose lie had employed this tim.. her l• Perhaps in repairing the .Farm as far •as would . extend ?—No''such thing—he had employed it in making a tall, ankw , ard.looking garden fenee, such as no one ever saw before in the Country, of' any.man except the Defendant would have dioamt of. He wasted every bit of the timber in this ciful eredion olsomeihing,.which was unlike every thing, and for the- sake of his high pallisades, the Farm was suifeted to go still farther to decal. With regard to the management of the farm; the Plaintiff complained / it . was a di:ea violation of et'ery covenant in. the Lease ; it was 'part of the covenants that none of the arable lard shnuld.temaia four' years without a summer till, but it would be found that, instead OfTerforniing that covenant; he had been all the, while tearing the - hEares`ih&J out of .the land. Another charge against - the ‘De., fendant - was, that, instead : of contenting himself with the lops and tops of -the timber tt,ees, as a - tenant ought to have'done, he had.cut off the head of. a, fine oak, thOugh he had been fold it: was a maiden oak, and ought -not td have been. violated. Another cause for forfeiture .was, that he had uilder lett part of the land, without .: the.. licence of the landlord. Perhaps, it would be•said, that the , part he.: had let was not worth more than half a crown a year. It was :the very 'thing! the Plaintiff tom: plained of; for, if. half the estate had been under let,- he wonld have known Where to have gone for his rent ; but cnt of afarrn of. zoo acres, if a small piece ; of lapel . was severed, it w'as impossible to know- .where - tO look for: it : besides,' it would v.:, pear the Defendant never intended the pieceite had underlet should revert to the Plaintiff:: It was sufficientfor this Action, 'it he had covenanted not to Jet anypar-t. He repeated his assurance, that • the Jury would do the same justice as if th ey were all landlords.• The Lease was'prodUced—it contained all the' covenants referred to in Mr. Gmtkow's vpening. . • . Mr. Wilt Shire,. the Agent and Steward' of .Mr. Thornton, .said,% he had the care and inspeaion of many "thousands of acres—he prepared the Lease, liaving.first, made himself acquainted with the na turc,:of the land ; he accommodated the provisions to What he thought the best manner of cultivating it. Some. time after granting. the lease, lielociked over the estate---repairs were. proposed,. aid it became necessary to assign timber ; he assigned such oak and eIM as the tenant. wanted.; he observed that the rand had not been well cultivated ; he also observed that many. branches had .been. cut from the timber_ • trees, and that they had, been trimmed higher than . they ought to have been. The farm, instead "'of being repaired, had grown much, worse ; the. tim ber, which was cut for the express purpose of the ". repairs, was applied a different ,way ; it had been used in making a-tall 'garden fence, for which thure was not the least necessity: .Therepairsat present were in a very .bad state,; the timber. tre es h a d been all improperly trimmed ; the oaks had, had their heads cut off, and were converted into pollards, and, in short, every covenant in ..the lease had been • broken. I;he several breaches Of . covenant were fully sub stantiated. - - - - Mr. Jtstice GROSS SUggOted that the Defendant should give up‘the Lease, and that it should be re ferred to some Gentlemen to ,:ay upon what terms. Mr.' Serjeant BEST, • the D::fenclant's Coun,el, and. Mr. GAttow, consented to this' recommend;{ . tiln, and it vas agreed the Defendant shou.ld be to remain on the•prethisesAill the 2,Arli of June next, in order that he might have sufficient time' to.take off his crops and that the incoming tcnan , kshotild, in the mean time, be 'allowed to sow kris seed; &c, Upon these terms the C2,2t,,,.: concluded, and a jwor was withdrawn. The, Georgia, Loudon, from New York for Havre de Grace, with indigo, cotton, tobacco, &c. is detained ,by the 'Admiral Mitchell and Aicr: hired Armed cutters and sent into Dartr.?oUrh.
