COMMON PLEAS.

Sitting at NU Prius &fore Sir JA MES MANIFILLD.

HON lON L. WRECXSTER.

This was an anion brought by the Plaintiff, who
was an Attorney, to recover 171. 10s. 6d. the balance
of a bill of Costs, due for defending an action.
It appeared, that the Defendant had lived with a
lady of the name of Perry, who being sued for
some debt, the Defendant employed Mr. Morton
to defend the action, which he did with success.
The balance of the bill of cots remaining unpaid,
and Mr. Wreckster refusing to secure it, this action
was brought. On the part of the Defendant, Mrs.
Perry was called, who deposed, that it was she who
employed Mr. Moron in the former anion brought
against her, and that when he sent in his bill to Mr.
Wreckster, she was extremely angry, and asked him
the reason he did so ? to which Mr. Morton said, it
would be much better for her if Mr. Wreckster
would pay, and there was no harm in trying. This
Lady underwent a long cross examination on the
nature of her connection with the Defendant.

Serj. Brsr, for the Plaintiff, in reply, observed,
that a wife was nut at liberty to be a witness for her
husband ; and though Mrs. Perry did not appear
ezataly in that light, yet her conneflion with the
Defendant was such as would induce the Jury to
prefer the testimony on the part of his Client.
Thts Jury imm2diately returned a verdia for the
Plaintiff.—Damages 171. 10.. 6d.

FOREIGN INTELIJGENCF:.

lIANIBURGII NIVT..

AMSTIRDAM, MAY 11,

Our Journals contain accounts from Paris, that
the Combined French and Spanish Fleets had ar-
rived at Lisbon, taken the ships and prizes there,
and confiscated the English property. Thia intelTi-
gence was brought to Bourdeaux by an American
ship; but as no date is assigned to this event, and
no official account of it has been received from any
quarter, the truth of it is doubted ; we are rail- sr
inclined to believe, from our not having received
any certain accounts of this fleet, that it has steered
its course for the West Indies.

Tise Amsterdam Gazette, under the bead of Park,
states, that Leiden Bonaparte will be appointed
Viceroy of Italy. The residence of the King of
Italy, will, it is said, be fixed at Rome, and the Pa-
pal See be removed from Rome to Avignon.
According to some accounts, the Government of
Algiers is on the point of declaring war ag-inst
Spain; the Spanish Consul has already been scut
into confinement.

ITALY, arßa. 23.
The Senator, Lucien P,onaparte, has arrived at
Pesaro from Milan, with family, and has taken
up his residence in the palace of the Marchese.
Mosca. On his arrival, he received the compli-
ments of all the Civil officers and of the Clergy.
Private accounts from Marseilles mention, that
the Toulon fleet met with, and took, off Cape Maria
(to the west of Marseilles), an English frigate.
The Senate of Genoa has a deputation appointed,
of ten ladies, to compliment the Empress Josephine.

VIENNA, MAY 4.

Our Court Gazette of this day contains the fol-
lowing intelligence. under the head of Turkey :

" The de.tentper which I:ttelv made its appearance at Patrat.,
in the Mama, appears to be oaf the native of the plague, but
has not extmuleil further. Constantinople is, at present, free
from any contagious itiaortler ; and the di.icioes among the lower
dames of the people appear only to au iginate from the atilt
mere...sing ova of meal and won."'

Ismael Pasha, who was taken by Soloman Pasha,
in St. John IYAcre, and given in custody to the
corps of Delis, among whom he had served, has
found means to make his escape, and join the Beys
in Egypt. The Plenipotentiary of the Porte has,
however, received the remainder of the treasures of
Dgezzar.

ANOTHER LITTER, SA ME DATE.

As some regiments have received orders to hold
themselves in readiness to march for inner Austria.
it is conjeAtired that a summer camp will be formed
on the Italian frontiers. The Dragoons of Wnr-
temburgh, who are here, likewise received orders
to break up, it is believed. for Stiria. Five regi-
ments will go to Tyrol. Thrreports, however, of
the forming of magazines, of contra&s, &c. are en-
tirely without foundation.
Our Ambassador at London, Count Stahremburg,
who was expected here on leave of absence. ha., we
are assured, received orders to defer his departure
from that Court some time longer.

t.►inrc., td•Y 10.

The Prussian Ambassador at the Court of Sweden.
M. Von Tatiach, it is understood, will soon leave
Stockholm. and return to Berlin.

111111SSELLS, MAY 7.
Our Gazette contains an article from Madrid, in
which it is said, that when General Junot was
there, certain military arrangements were agreed
en between him, General goutmerille, and the
