DATED 12TH SEPTEMBER.

" Au attack was made about the fart of August,
by the army of Christophe, on the Mole. Genersi
Veillard, who succeeded General Lerner'e in the
cotnmand of that place, repulsed the enemy with
great lons ; they left on the field 600 men, ammig,t
whom were four General Officers. Gen. Veillard is
a young officer of great courage and conduct—and
there is no doubt of his being able to maintain the
place ie.:Must Christophe.—The Mole has bone
months provisions. a:id the garrison in high spirits.
General Petion is prepsring to march against Cape
Francois, which I flatter myself will terminate the
power of that minister Christoplie. who, I find by
some of your late papers. has, through scone of his
hale agents, published acconots of victories he
never gained, hawing for a considerable time lost
every battle lie has fought with our brave army.
Gets. Itigaud is at Cornil. in goal health. There
is no doubt of his success in conciliating the dissa-
tisfied in that quarter ; he is much beloved by all
the people, and the President and himself are tin
the most confidential and amicable terms. I hope,
my dear friend. that under the auspices of those
two good and grctt, men, our country will enjoy
that pure happiness we Mere so much wished for;
and strangers that security. which will induce them
to carry ou a mutually profitable commerce."

LONDON.
THURSDAY. Dsccuesa 13.

The following wag the Bulletin hewn yesterday
at St. Jarnes'a Palace:—
Windsor Castle, Dee. ts.
"Ilia MAJESTY has passed a good Bight, and
ap-
pears much the same as he was yesterday."
(Wined at goat.)

This day both !louses of Parliament, or, to speak
more correctly, the two Estates of the Realm, w,ll
meet pursuant to adjournment. Although, from the
Circular. Letter which we inserted, it appears Out
Ministers had abandoned the idea of Piorugatior,
and meant to move for a Committee to examine
the Physicians; yet the favourable change whip
has since taken place in His MAJESTY', health
may hare altered their determination, sad sof:-
gested some other course.—The LORD CHANCEL-
LOR, we understand, will set off at an early hour
this morning for Windsor, to have a personal in-
terview with His MAJESTY; and it is prultalble that
Ministers will not come to • find tiecs,iun
after his Lordship's return to town.

His Majesty's ship Furitra,:e is arrived at Spit;
head, from the Mediterranean, bringing an Extra-
ordinary Ambis4ador from the DET of ALUILRI,
attended by a niverrous suite. Ile is the bearer
of presents fur TH6III NIAJEJITIES, of great value
and curiosity.

By the Fortieser:e, dispatches have been received
f Gibraltar up to the t2tith ult. by which it ap-
pears, that a formidable insurrection against the
French had broken out in the province •f Granada,
with every prospect of success.
Vele: Malaga, and twenty-three of the neigh-
bouri t towns and villages, were in arms; mid
some ships of war have gone from Gibraltar and
Ceuta, to assist the Patriots, and to supply them
with ammunition and arms. The peophe of the
mountains of Ronda were every day expected to
rise and unite their efforts in the same cause. The
Marquis Ds PoaTAr➢o, and General V•LOSIS•
Imo, who have been recently sent round by the
new Regency, to this neighbourhood, are, from
their distinguished characters, likely to be of the
greatest service to the patriotic cause.
General CAUrsELL'r dispatches contain the very
satisfactory intelligence, that the fi:vr had totally
disappeared at Gi!iralLar,. where clear bills of
h.atth were issued on the tthh of Na ember, and
the quarantine taken ,if from the district that
had been infected. tinily six of the inhabitants,
and six gobbets belonging to the yth veteran bat-
talion, have died of the disease ; the early sup-
pression of which is in a great measure to be attri=
tented to the z.•al and ability of Dr. Pra, the prin-
cipal Medical Officer of the gsrvisiiii.

A letter from Harwich, doled on Tuesday, says :
Its the master of u neutral ie:sel arrived f►om
I lulland, we are informed that a requisitiuo has
been made in th.it country for 7000 men, to man
the Frettels fleet in the Scheldt ; that a ►bip of the
line and two frig.iter sailed from fielvortsloys some
tune eon, hut the ship of the line, f,oin her draught
of water, gut on shore, and was obliged to return
to Ilelvoetslitys. The frigates are supposed to have
sailed north about for the object of their desti-
nation."

A respectable !louse in the city has received a let-
ter, dated ilamburgh. :November 21, from which
the following is an extract:—" This day we received
the certain hitt liigence that Austria hail refused to
put in force the decree of the 50 per cent. tariff; and
burning the goods of her subjects; and that she has
gone so far as to reclaim the losses her subjects re-
siding in the towns of the Confederation of the
Rhine have sustained by such proceedings, of the
Governments where such losses have taken place.—
Further, that Persia hod made Peace with Russia,
and Turkey was expected to follow her in the same
laudable business."

'We this day give at length the Proclamation of
Mr. MAritsoN, anti the Circular of Mr. Gat ITIN,
of which we communicated the substanceyesterday.

The Elizabeth awl Sarah, Ltivti, has arrived
off Dover, from Lisbon; we have uot heard when
she sailed.

Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the
East India House, when the undermentioned Com-
manders took their final leave of the Court previous
to departing for tileir respective destination., viz.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH. GuzioNALL,

Sittings at Nisi Prime before Lord E Lcs is soito us u.

•EARLS V. COLS.

This was an action to recover VI. I ts. 2d. money
lent, and 31. is. lid. for the rest of a piece of
potatoe-ground.
Mr. Turman stated the ease, and said the par.
ties were both natives of Bandon, in Ireland, and

they were also relations, the Plaintiff being nephew
of the Defendant ; they had given a joint ;nouns-
wry note to a third person Inc 101. which
the Plaintiff discharged: the Plaintiff's signing
it was merely to accommodate the Defendant :
this he would prove by a witeess who heard the
Defendant acknowledge that he was indebted to
the Plaintiff in the sum mentioned in the declara-
tion ; and that he was also indebted to the Plaintiff
in the sum of 51. 9.1. I Id. for a piece of potato'.
ground which he had rented. The transaction took
place in Ireland, in 1806, from which time the De-
fendant had resided in this country. Hi would
prose the Defendant's acknowledgment of the thin,
which would entitle the Plaintiff to a verdict.

John Scott deposed, that he was the proprietor of
a public-house at Bandon, in Ireland. in the year
laOli: the Plaintiff and the Defendant came into
his houreto settle their accounts. and the Defendant
acknowledged that he was iitl.bted to the Plaintiff
in the sum set forth in the declaration.

NIT. PARKE addressed the Jury, u Counsel for

the Defendant.

Lord Et.t.sisnottouein summed up the evidence,
and observed. it was very singular that this action
should be brought in this country ; Rirticularly so,
as the rent for the potatoe-ground caul I have been
recovered by a very simple process in Ireland. It
appeared strange that • tianaaction which took
place in law. in Ireland, ahould he hrosight in
the Court of King's Bench in London iu 1810, and
supported by • witness who has nothing but his
memory to mild him. without any memorandum.
It would be for the Jury to consider what credit
should be given to the Witness, and for them to
give their verdict according to their opinion of
that evidence.
The Jury gale • verdict for the Defeudant.

Mr. Passe—" My Lord, this cease stands only
four off. I have a brief for the Defendant ; it is
one of Mr. Garrow'a; but. en looking over it. I
think the defence is Pitch, that I should meet with
tour Lordship's displeasure if I should attempt to
defend it. The defence is infancyand in such a
rase moat be unwarranted. My Learimit Friend,
Mr. Jervis. agrees with toe that it might to Ire re-
ferred to some Gentleman at the Bar—in artie and
my Learned Friend's opinion. who is Counsel for
the Plaintiff. it ought not te.come before the Jury."
Llrid ExtAnnottoung—i. Mr. Parke. I cannot
take any cegnocarive of what you have stated ; any
agreement thist is made must be between your-
selves."
Mr. PAPILE—" My Attorney has ju.t informed
me. that he had bet n consulting his client, the 11./.-
(cadent. end he wilt not ovee toe reference; the
only thing then left for me is to give up ivy brief,
for I wi3l not be the advocate fur inch a dele•sce."
Mr. Parke accordingly bsuded his brief to the
Attorney.
In a short time after it Wig at,tA to his Lord-
ship, that it had been agree.l between the parties to
refer the cause.
His Lordship expressed his opprolneioo of their
determination.
