LON DON,
TIIURSDAY, OCTORM 17.

Two battalions of the light infantry, and the foot
artillery of the German Legion, have arrived at
Deal and Dover ; and it is expztled that they will
begin to embark on Wednesday. General Sir
Davin Dunnas has been with Mr. PITT, at Wil-
mer Castle, on the subjea ; and Lieutenant-Colonel
Dosatu, Quartermaster-General of the Southern

Distrid, is gone to the coast, for the purpose of
making the necessary arrangements. The re.
mainder of the artillery, consisting of the horse
brigades, will reach Canterbury successively, this
day, to-morrow, and Saturday, and with those of
the same corps now in that city, will proceed from
thence, on account of the convenience of the hAr-
boor, for immediate embarkation at Ramsgate.—
Their destination is said to be Stralsund, the capital
of Swedish Pomerania, in order to be in readiness

to occupy the Electorate of Hanover, in concert
with the Russians and Swedes. The principle of the
measure cannot be too much applauded ; the officers
are mostly men of charaCter and influence in their
native country, and, with the privates, possess that
attachment to home, which, after an honourable
ezfle, they will feel a grateful sensation is re-visit-
ing ; while their standards will become the rallying
points fur the loyal, and their ranks will be recruited
by the affeCtion of every true subjP9. It is rumour-

eJ, however, that the Legion will be employed upon
a more immediate service, which we cannot, with
propriety, particularly notice.

A Mail from New-York and Halifax, brought
to Falmitith by the Princess Elisabeth packet,
in 21 days, from the latter place, arrived yesterday.
We have received by it New-York Papers to the
4th last. They announce the conclusion of a
Treaty of Peace between Tripoli and the United
States of America. An Extra& from a paper called
The Aurora, announces some cases of yellow fever,
but New-York was free from it, Ind a Proclama-
tion was published, on the 23d of August, an-
nouncing, that it had entirely subsided in Pro-
vidence, Rhode Island. An article, dated Charles-
ton, states, that it was part of the wreck of the
Blanche, and not of the Btraffims, as erroneously
memioned in a former paper, that was lately found
it sea. The several extra is which we have made
irom the New-York Papers, are in the first page.


,

We have received Paris Papers of 3 day later than
those which we gave yesterday, and Dutch Paper,
of the 12th. It has been officially announced
to
the French soldiers, that war is declared. IVe do
not expect, however, that an immediate blow would
follow, as the Austrians continued to fall back,
evidently wishing to avoid a general engage-
rneht, until the arrival of the BUISIA3S. The latter.
t.) the amount of b‘3,000, passed through Lumberg
in the beginning of September. The French army,
commanded by BONAPARTE in person, or, as he
styles it, the " grand army," according to the
most recent accounts, extended from the Upper
Palatinate, to the western side of Suabia, down the
Neckar, to the frontiers of Switzerland.—On the 3d,
. several columns of infantry and cavalry crossed the
Neckar, and advanced to Goppingen, nearly mid-
way between Stntgardt and Ulm. On toe Ist
and 2d, the Hanoverian army, leaving Wurtzburgh,
advanced towards the Upper Maine, by Ochsen-
forth, whilst the Gallo-Batavian army descended
from Wurtaburgh to Mergentheim. Meanwhile
the divisions that crossed at Manheim, are marching
up the Neckar, to join the Hanoverian and Gallo-
Batavian armies. These P.spers contain a brief
sketch of the Eleftor of BAVARIA'S justification of
his conduel in joining France. It states, that the
conduit of Austria forced him to it. BUN AP ARIE
will nut consider this a very handsome compliment.
We believe, however, it is not far from the truth.
Few states will be disposed to embrace the cause
of France, from love and affeßion, or a sense
of its justice. 1304 APART r, however, to make
good the deficiency in the Et.ecroe's defence, has
issued a ProclaTnation to the Bavarian troops, in
which he asserts, that the ol,jea of the Emperor of
GEE MAN Y in going to war, is to incorporate Ba-
varia with his territories ; an objeet, which the ENl-
retio a has distinftly and positi'vely disavowed. The
FRENCH Astaassanoe at Vienna demanded his pass-

ports on the 25th ult. and hot, as the Mondeur as-
serted, immediately upon his receiving the account
of the Austrians having crossed the Inn.
Prussia has included in the League of Armed Neu-
trality, Saxony and Hesse, and is making successful
applications to the Hans Towns and petty Princes
in the North of Germany, to contribute to the main-
tenance of the cordon. She has occupied Dave-
monde, near Lubeck, with 6,000 troops.

Mr. ORA is A !.1. who-se° exertions to investigate this
mysterinos mu, der have been the most praise worthy
and indefatigable, .ax a Magistrate. t; loheo to con-
digit punishment, the perpetrator of this horrid deed.
not being able to procure eny more evidence upon
the bushiess, gave direftions for Mr. Nevi to be
brouebt front the House of Corresction, to undergo
a final examin neon yesterday, and witnesses, to Cie
number of thirty•one, were summoned to give evi-
dence.
At twelve o'clock. Mr. Seams u being voted
upon the bench, io the Public Offiee, accompanied
by Sir R; ten Fuer), His Royal Highness the
Duke of Ses:ox, and a number of Gentlemen of
distinCtion, Mr. Patch was hr ught into the Office,
and placed at the bar. lie bowed very respen-
fully to the Magistrates.
Mr. GRAHAM addressed the Prisoner, and told
him he had sent for him in consequence of his being
now in possession of all rite evidence which he
thought he could prricure, and on which, al-
th-tigh only circumstantial, he considered sufficient
to commit him for trial. The worthy Mantsrß ATE
confe•sed, that he was at first induced to take up
this lois;ness from what he read in the newspapers,
that came out before the Coroner's July, and he
was led to enquire, what benefit could arise to
any person by the aft that had been committed ?
The Priso. er's account of his conneCtiou with the
de: ooed, and description of the circumstances at-
teird;net. ;he murder ; Mrs. Blight's (the widow of
C . •ased) account of the ronnedion between her
1 esband and the Prisoner; and the evidence of Ste-
r''en Goom, William Edridge, Juhn Brown, Mary
Salter, William Gil:tert, Richard Wright, Jane
Evans, C.:arks Overton, Richard Frost, Sarah
P-'ch, Eoher Kitchener, Richard Murch, John
Ilaroood, Sarah Blight, Robert Ferguson. Tho-
mas Graham, Serail Reikes, that's Morgan.
James Berry, Dorothy i'rain, William Jhnes,
George Smith. Ann. Louisa, and Eliza Davis,
Cheri:et Stonord, and Mary Smith, were severally
read as they w-re driten up in regui4r informations.
With rtopeCt to the origin of the conneiion be-
to e. n the Prisoner and the deceased, it appeared, the
Pr:, mer came from the couriety, and called to see his
sister. woo lived servant with the deceased; and want-
foe employ, the deceased took him into his yard,
silt ;n be caning up ship.; and finding him answer
the purpose, the; agreed for 401. a-year, and hoard
and 1 edging. Afterwards toe salary was increased
to 1001. aorear, and the Prisoner was to board him-
self. The Prisoner a very frugal man, and
st.:ady, suffered his salary to accumulate in his
master's hands, till it amounted to 2501. The
cease I having a v ry high opinion of the Prisoner,
offered him a third of the business for 1,2001.
last summer, which the Prisoner levied to ; the
Prisoner saying, ht could procure 10001. from the
sale of an estate he possessed near Exeter.—
The Prisoner commenced a third share of the busi-
ness, from the 31st of last Augnsr, And gave tlr.
Blight a -o•r, or check, for 1000!. upon a resped-
able tradesman in Bermondsev, which, not being re-
gularly paid, brought Mr. Blight from Margate;
and, it is supposed, he intended to insist upon the
payment of it on the night he was shot, or the fol-
lowing day, from the contents of letters he sent to
his wife, at Margate. Mr. Ile rcivol, the Bankers
proved, that the deceased kept cash at their house,
and that his aCCOUIIt bad been transferred to the
Prisoner. An account of two thousand and sixty-
five pounds between the Prisoner and the deceit eJ,
app-ared very mysterious. A number of loners, put-
ting the Prisoner in possession of the Intecie .ss, which
the Prisoner said he had been in posse..sion of from
the day of their date, hut, on Investiy;ation, did not
prove correSt. We are in possessicso of the whole
of the evidence, which took up :throve four bouts
in reading, and would more that fill our gape-,
were we to attempt to give it ; b ut, as it must be
necessarily rr perre evidence, we t tow with reverence
to the opinion of the Judges em the impropriety of
publishing, in the present stage of the business, any
part that might prejudice the minds of the public,
net among them must be the. Jury, who will try the
Prisoner. Sullies it to sa'o, it is entirely circum-
stantiat.
After the whole of the informations had been
read, the parties were tooled in a recognizance 11t
401. each, to give eviehenee on the trial, at the next
Assizes for the cotes' ,y of Surrey, to be held ar
I.;,„,gstoso next Maselo.
Mr. GRAHAM ooti.hed to bind over Mr. Ferguson.
the executor of the: deceased, as the Prosecutor, bet
be declined, and ougge4tcd, it would be better to
bind over Mr. Savage, the Parish Officer, who was
or. the Corouer's -Ivry, and had offered a reward for
the discovery of the murderer, which was agreed to
by the MAGIS
Mr. Forrcose. the Attorney, attended for the
Prisoner, and Mr. GRAHAM stated to him his
grounds of suspicion upon the evidence, as the in-
formations were severally read over.
Mr. FLETCHER made application to the MAGUS.
TRATE, in consequence of the long confinement the
Prisoner must experience, that he might be allowed
some money, and that he might have access to him
to prepare his defence. To this, Mr. GRAII Am pro-
posed, that Mr. Ferguson, the executor of the de-
ceased, should pay the Prisoner the 4501. which was
due to him for wages; and, as that was all the stake
he had in the business, he should give up all claim
upon it, which was agreed to by the Prisoner. Mr.
CR A NAM directed that Mr. Folorcits.R should see
the Prisoner in the House of Corm :bon.
The Prisoner was then ironed, and conveyed to
the prison.

The House of the late Mr. DAVID Scovr,
was among the foremost, if not aClually the first,
private one engaged io the East-India trade ; it has
established, regularly. an overland express, to and
horn India; a measure only occasionally resorted to
by Government.
On Sunday sennight a cutter, being abobt eight
leagues off Aldborough, with three men in it, was
unespeiledly hailed by a French lugger privateer.
The Capt. 'n immediately came on board the cutter,
and on the.: pleading that they were poor fishermen,
generousiy gave them back their vessel, though
worth not less than 3 or 4001. and in return for some
fish, which ha requested of them, made them a pre-
scut of two bottles of brandy.

BANKRUPTCY.
Pursuant to notice, the Commissioners yesterday
sat in thu Court of King's Bench, Guildhall, to
• hear evidence adduced on the pert of Mr. Jenkins,
a bankrupt, triding to account for the deficiency of
24,0001. which, from the books and papers already
furnished by the Bankrupt, as stated on the p irt of
the creditors, remained entirely unaccounted for.
Mr. CULLEN, as Counsel for the Bankrupt, stated,
that he was convinced he could prove to de-
monstration, th it the apparently large deficiency in
the Bankrupt's property, entirely originated in his
selling almost all the goods he dealt in, con-
siderably under the price he himself had en-
g.iged to pay. l'he proof of this, he said, would
take up a considerable time, as he would be obliged
to go over the different invoices, and call witnesses
to prove the sale of the different articles in earh, on
this account ; and further, because on the last exa-
mination (Saturday last) there was so much in-
docent behaviour manifested by the spectators, by
laughing, and otherwise, he submitted, that it
would be the better way to let the business be exa-
mined into privately.
The Co st mISAONZII.S observed, that they could not
consent to go into a private marnination, or into so
long an examination as the learned Counsel had in-
timated, unless he would call some witness at the
present time, who would, by his testimony of the
losses sustained by the Bankrupt, give them s,.me
reason to hope that such au immense deficiency
could, in any manner, be accounted for. With ra-
ve& ru the miscondua of the spectators, the Cost-
issi N zits said, they would be very sorry to give
the slightest countenance to it ; but if people would
laugh, and behavo indecently, provided they did not
interrupt the proceedings, they could not prevent
them.
Mr. CI'LLLI4 then went into a further argument
on the deficiency of the Bankrupt ; in the course of
which he stated, that the stock in bands, at the time
of the bankruptcy, amounting to a sum of 3,0001.
and upwards, should be dedmied from the 24,0001.
said to be the deficiency, and the remaiodet he had
no doubrof being able tu account for, within a very
trifling sum.
The Con mi iCION CRS said, this was no argu:nent,
as the sum failed for was 26,0001. front which
2,0001. was deduaed, being the amount of :he stock
on hands of t:: as taken or the creditors,
leaving a d,fi.nency of 24.0001. to be aceoun, ea for ;
for any tat in which, they were then ready to Lea.
the Bankrupt's evidence.
Mr. Coss Will first exitoirtird ; he said, he had
been s!inpin...n to th, Rankreo:. tit, sine ha left
him, had changed Ms name o .lo,es, no person
being willing to t..ke him, he its a is. :sad lived with
Mr. -Jenkins. Resit present lived rub go itloma •
of the trade, who was C Abe his nine wets
Cross, though he ustailly w •ft •.‘• -.he name of
Jones. There never hal been. he sa J, serf r-gular
acconnt kept of the goods sold. hip ne often re,
membered selling Coleraio .o. ss. of diTerent cut ci-
ties, for the same prii. ,; one at the :ose of three
farthings a yard, and some s.:l,igh as foutpence
yard, under the prime co tof t,:! article. He also
stated, that one-half of the Bankrupt's husitvss
consist-1 in the sale .1C Scotch and Colerain linens.
On making a calculation, accord4ng to this StA.C•
ment, the loss sustained by the Bankrupt in this line
of his business, amounted to no less a sum than
8,0001.

Mr. Jenkins himself was then examined ; he cor.
roborated the testirnony of the former Witness, and
stated, that he had a further loss of ten per cent. on
one item of 1,0001. for Yorkshire sheeting. and also
a loss of ten per cent. on an item of upwards of
5,0001. for Irish cambricks, and many other losses,
which he was prepare I to prove, and hoped be
would do it to the Commissioners' satisfaElion.
He was asked by the Cox MISSION Las, what mo-
tive be could have in selling his goods so much un-
der the price he himself had agreed to pay for
' them ? His motive in doing this, he said, was to
get a quick return of money, and, by giving his
' bills at two months date, which was considered as
cash, he was allowed a discount of two and a halt
per cent. He also stated, that he did not feel in
the least embarrassed in his circumstances, until a
few days before his failure. . _ .

The'CommtSSIONERS did not appear satisfied with
the statement of Mr. Cross. He had kept, they
said, no account or memorandum, and therefore
might, on taking the general average of the goods
of different qualities,which he sold at one price, have
disposed of some to a considerable advantage, and,
therefore, be a gainer, though he sold some under
first cost. As to Mr. Jenkins's own statement,
they thought it most extraordinary that he could
sell goods at ten per cent. loss, when he was aware
that his drawback for ready money was on two and
a half per cent.
At two o'clock, they adjourned until a future
day, having remanded the Bankrupt back to prison,
and having expressed the greatest desire that the
business should be Trickly ended, without squan-
dering the remainder of the property in the expences
of the Commission ; and also for the purpose of
allowing the Bankrupt to regain his liberty, if he
could give a proper account of his deficiency.

Several Jays past, a great number of immensely
large porpoises have been tumbling about the Sound,
into Catwater, Mill Bay, and Hamoaze, and at the
ebb, roll back again in the same hog like manner,
and go out to sea. The fishermen consider this
omen as portentous of same very great hurricane at
this season of the year ; they have been frequently
shot at, but none of them killed, their backs being
impenetrable to musket shot.
