TAW DON,
THURSDIV, MAY 21.

We have receiv-1 Du:ch pipers to the 18th inst.
from which, and also the H.vahu,:b Correspondentrn
of the 19th, we have made some extraas. In the
night between the 26th and 29th last, the French
made three several attempts to take Dantzic by
assault, but were repulsed with the Liss, according
to private accounts, of 5 or 6,000 mtn killed and
wnunued. Tile besieging army is computed at
26,000 men, and the garrison at 20,000. With so
strong a force, and the advantage of receiving
supplies by sea, we may hope it will continue
Ls oppose an effeaull resistance to the enemy.
—An attack on Elting is not the only step
taken by the Russians in its favour.—They have
also strengthend their left wing, and are in great
force at Allenstein, apparently with a view to
weaken those points neare.t to Elbing and Dant-
;sic, by obliging the French to detach troops to
strengthen their right. It is very probable that tl e
attempts to relieve Danteic will bring on a general
battle. Whenever that event takta piece, the eon-
Ea will be tremendous. The respalive armies
,!ngtged w.ll be tht mist numerous in the history
at modern war! tr..

man, lately entered top Vistula, ai.d op/ ned her Iv'
upon a French column. This gallant enterprise •
was performed by the telly Lired armed ship. The
Captain, perceiving that the French had got pos-
sessioa of a fort behind a narrow neck of land at the
mouth of the Vistula, where they appealed in con-
siderable Dumber:, disguised the ."ally ea a merchant
ship, stood into the river, but unfortunately got
aground; she, however, was soon got off again, but
nut before the Frenchmen had discovered her to be
a ship of force, and had time to prepare for her re-
ception. She sailed boldly up to the fort, and
opened such a volley of grape from her carronades,
assisted with musketry, that she soon swept the
fort, and killed from three to four hundred French-
men. Our loss in this daring enterprise did tot ex-
ceed 14 or 15 men.
A letter from St. Kitt's, dated April 3, says :--
" Unless ue have a season of rain very soon, the let-

still not a Fad one. Three brigs and a stout schooner
were ready to sail from Guadeloupe tie latter end of
last month on *cruise; and we imagine they musthave
sailed, as two Americans arrived here were boarded
a few days ago in the latitude of Antigua, one by the
Googly, Crawl; the other by the Dug/sone (late the
Nerfry). A schooner, of 14 guns, was last week
chased into St. Martin's by a frigate Navin thrown

Unil's Bridge, about 12 miles from the town of

at Anerystirita. from Wolverdimpon. about 12
o'eldrk that night, in the hope of joining his be-
loved wile; but what was his distress and anguish,

clinranion, he orde:cd a post-chaise, and drove off
to the Devil's Bridget in tl.e mean time, however,
a servant of the Defendant was determined to be
6etare•hand with him, and arrived at the inn about
Ores o'c!ncls is the morning. His master hearing
who wax Withatit, threw okien the window, and the
imam told him, " the Gentleman. (weaning the

a plan was coa.:erted with the landlord and chaos-
Le, maid, to deny (hens, wh-n the husuand should

girl still insisted that the Colonel was nut there,
but had gone to another inn. The Plaintiff wen
wrote a note to the Defendant, and sent it up to him
by the maid, and having read it, he desired her to
say there was no Colonel there. The Plaintiff,
however, was not to be dissuaded from his purpose;
be wrote another letter, and desired the girl to put
it under the door, if the Defendant would not re-
ceive it in aey oth, r way. Site followed his direc-

the le:ter and read it. Soon after he dressed him-
self and left the bed-room. The neat mot ningjhe
Phdiniff and Defendant met, and had some confer.

mom where his wife was, and a scene of the muse
lagonizing and distressing kind took place. 'II •

at that place.
Mr. Joseph Lane, formerly a respeCtable mer-
chant at Welverhatnp.:on. stared, that he had known
the Plaintiff for many years, he had tiered his clerk-
ship to him, and fr^m his upright conduit and ch,t.
raCter, he had resigned his business in his fav,.ur,
and the Plaintiff now held the very premises he had
formerly enjoyed ; he also !•poke to the dornest:c
happiness and tranquillity of this couple, previous to
Mr.. Raitton's going .c) Aberystw;th.
The Avroatiev.Gettettat., for the Defendant,
admitted the enormity of the charge of adultery,
and felt that there were cases of th.s nature which
called for exemplary damages. The immorality at
such an offence he did not contend aeainst ; he
felt the full effect of the observetiont which had so
open fell from, And were so eltiqu, ally expressed, by
the Noble and L anted I ord before alluded to ; but
the present was not such a case as that Noble and
Learned Lord had in his contemplation, when he so
expressed himself an this subject. In'this ce.e, all
the wiles and art:ficAs of a pradised 'edit-et were
absent, for. upon a momentary acapiaintance,
and without any previous introsituctien, the lady,
upon the second day's interview, trusted het self in
the company of ha gallant, walking alone with him
in t'!e fields, at ten o'clock at night, in the mo, th of
Septemheir ; and a few days after, went with him, in
an open chaise, to a distant inn, where they sl pt
togethet. Neither vas this a case where the rights
of hespitality had bear violated, for it appeared
that the Plaintiff and Defendant were total stran-
gers to each other; and as for the loss the Plaintiff
could sostin in the society of -act, a woman, atter
what had appeared, he could not have suffered
much injury in that point She was a woman of a
charaaer so peig4ions end aba,doned, that her
hosuand nuts, b,ve felt the good effels of getting
shut of such wife. Inc Colonel was naturally
man gallant, y and inconsiderate, and happened
t f • leie the snares of this woman. There was
n,;;Litig ..k sedation praktised ; nothing like hos-
p:tality abused ; and altleeigh the PlAint.ff had
great reason to complain, ye, that was nut to be
visited in heavy damages upon the Defendant.
In sum..,ieg up 'he evidence to the Jury. Lord Et.•
LItt4IIOMOLGII observed, that however ptud gate and
abandoneelthe cr ndue of this woman was, after her
acquaintance with the Defendant, yet, from tl.e evi-
dence, it appeared, that previ us to that period, the
husband and wife had always lived in a state of
connubial happiness and affedtion. The Jury were,
therefore, net to appreciate the damages according
to the profligacy of the wif., hn: according to the
loss which they ennsidere the Plaintiff had sustain•
ed, not only in being deprived of her future society,
but the injury ho had suffered in his own le.lings.
The Jury, after some cons ,Itation,found a verdia
for the Plaintiff, 10001 damages.
