THE BRITISH P tESN

• LON DON,
MONDAY. FEIRUAIT

The Court of Eschequey, in Ireland, was occu-
pied the whole of Tuesday last with hearing Mr.
CualtAN, in the case of Mr. Justice JOHNSON. His
speech was nearly a repetition of his argument upon
the same subjea, in the Court of King's Bench.
It appears to be the detertninAtion of Mr. Justice
Joimiou to try the three Law Courts, which, we
understand, are thus curiously circumstanced, in
reaped of this question.

In the Court of King's Bench, the Chief Justice,
Dowses, and Mr. Justice Du v, were against him,
and Mr. Justice Dior for him. Mr. Justice Os-
1011a11 did not sit, he being one of the parties in.
jured by the libel. intitled gayer/is, in Mr. Cos-
ear's paper, of which Mr. Justice Joisssov is
charged to be the author. Of course, in this Court,
the judgment was against him, there being the
opinion of two Judges against one.
Is the Court of Exchequer, where he is now 2,-
ing, Lord AvowM•IL and Baron SMITH are un-
derstood to differ ; and the other two Barons, M A c.
Cett.evici and Gamma, it is said, have not as yet
declared any opinion.
In the Court of Common Pleas, Mr. Justice Jour-

•
!11.7 cannot sit upon his own me. Mr. Justice
Fox is in England attending to his own business; and
the CH; er J ;AT Ice, and Mr. Justice FiNvcass, it is
thought, entertain opposite sentiments upon the
point. Of course, in the event of nn Applicatio❑ to
this Court, there would be no judgment ; and, con.
st•quently, it is only in the Court of Exchequer that
Mr. Justice JOHNSON has any chance in his favour.

Lord Floon is coming home to attend the trial
of Governor Pic CON, and Lord MELVILLE wishes
to send Admiral COCIiItANE to succeed that gal-
lant Officer on the Leeward Island station. We
understand, however, that this arrangement does
not meet with the approbation of all Lord Mat.
vict.e't Ministerial friends, and that his Lordship
is likely to retire from Office, at no very great die.

Accounts from Gibraltar to the 28th of December,
brought by the Tribune frigate, state, that part of
the convoy from England reached that place. ou the

17th, and on the 18th General Fox arrived with the
remainder. -He landed at 12 o'clock, under a salute
from the ships of war and the Gartison, and
immediately assumed the command of the garrison.
On the 2'2,1 the number of fever cases was reduced
to six, but the contagion seemed still strongly to
exist in the town, and apprehensions were entertained
that the breaking up of the quarantine encampavoia
might again expose the troops to fresh contagion.
On the 21st a most violent storm of wind and nick
took place at Gibraltar, which completely swept
away the tents at Europa Point, and drove them into
the sea : several vessels were also driven on shore.
Le Lire frigate arrived at Cork on the 4th inst.
having escorted the Ruin Art slop of war and
convoy, which sailed from Cork on the Itth of lk-
cernber for the West Indies, as far as Madeira: she
left them or, the 31st of December, 31 sail in corn-
p inv. 6 sail having separated from the fleet.
The Sir Edward Ilazhes, --, from London, is
arrived at Bombay with a prize.

at Surinam, after being captured and abandoned
•
by the Josephine French privateer.
Thu Active. STO rESDUILY, from Bourdeaux, for
New Orleans, is captured by the Grand Turk priva-
teer, and carried into Antigua.
Apprehensions are entertained that a Lisbon
packet has been captured on her pas :age to Eng-
land; as it appears, by the accounts received from
Gibraltar, that on the 22,1 of Dect tither a sloop had
been dispatched to Lisbon with a great number of
letters to be sent home by the first packet.

A few days previous to the appointed time, in-

The Ca:*, Febritary•ll, 1804.
Lath, Deaalines invites Monsieur --.-- to a dinner and
ball, which she gives ro,ntorruw' preeiseh at seven o'clock in
the evening; she hopes that he will du ber the sweet aed
agreeable favour of being of the part,.
It was also given out at the same time, that in con-
sequence cf this entertainment, the performance at
this The: (which is always open on Sunday) would
commence sooner than comeeon,, that the guests
might have an opportunity of assembling there, for
the purpose of proceeding in a body to the house
of festivity. The theatre opened at half past five,
and was attended by a very lar?ze and respettable
audience, including the greatest part of the quality.
At the conclusion, we moved on in a large croud,
and at eight o'clock found ourselves before the gates
of the government-house. It is a grand and
ous building, situate a short distance from the street,
having gravel-walk and green lawns in .front of it.
The avenue from the gates to the door of the house
was brilliantly illuminated with about one thou:and
small lamps. We passed through the entry of this
house into a large saloon, ereded purposely for the
occasion. It was about ten yards hroad and one
hundred long, covered and entirely lined with can-
vass. It was elegantly ornamented inside with
flowers, branches of trees, three hundred small lamps
of coloured glass hung round the room, four large
chandeliers over the table, twelve great looking-
glasses, and a marble statue at each end of the room
in a recess. The table contained all the meats, fruits,
vegetables, poultry, paltry, confettionety, and li-
quors, that ceeld possibly be procured. Among
these were beef, mutton, turkeys, ducks, fowl.,
oranges, pine-apples, alligator pears, apples, pies,
puddings, jellies, sweet-meats, cakes, and claret,
Madeira and Champaign wines.
There were two hundred and fifty svelte at the table,
besides many more who were obl•ged to stand.
They consisted of General Clitt ISTO Pon at the cen-
tre. Lady Dana titres on his right hand, and his
wife nn the left ; six or eight other black generals,
as many colonels and others of high rank, besides
all the other principal officers of the Government
and ar:ny then at the Cape; the captain and all the
officers of a British man of war ; about thirty Ame-
ricans; a great number of the white French inha-
bitants of the most respectable class, and an enor-
mous trend of mulatto and block wenches. The
table was sun nunded by saldiers to keep off the
rabble, who had rushed in in shoals to see this elegant
sigle, and a grand band of music played the wirole
tirae we were eating. This dinner came nearer to
the idea one would form of a feast of the gods of
fabulous history, than any thing I have ever seen or
beard ef, and I am confident that nothing in Ame-
rica ever equalled it for splendour, variety, or
luxury.
Gen. CnItItTOPHE was dressed in a scarlet coat,
embroidered with gold lace, with two golden epau-
lets, a large cocked hat, with gold lace border,
boots With gold borders and tassels, an embroidered
vest, and pantaloons of nankeen, beautifully worked
in front. The officers were dressed in proportion,
some, however, very little inferior to their General.
Lady DLUAI.II4Li wore a plain dress, her hair, or
rather woof, was ornamented with artificial flowers,
beads, and combs ; her arms with golden bracelets,
her arms with superb rings and bobs, and her finger
with a ring containing a small gold watch, set in
diamonds, valued at several thousand dollars. The
other lades of distindien were also encumbered with
trinkets and heads, but none of them so extrava-
gantly as the governor's lady.
At the conclusion of the feast, several toasts were
given out by Criers-rason, and drank with loud ex-
pressions.of applause; among these were, the Gene-
ral or Myst (Dina m es, who was not present),
His Britannic Majesty, and the President of the United
States. The first was applauded by the negtoes, the
second by the Englishmen, and the third by the
Ameticans. After this, the company retired into
various parts of the house and garden, to keep out
of the way until the to 'es .hould be removed, and
preparations made for tre dance ; when this was
at ranged, the music struck up, and the whole room
was in ne tion. As I declined dancing, I had no-
t} ing to do but lounge about the room, and be a
silent spettator. Emir chief dances were cotil-
lions; most of them danced well, and some of them
elegantly. In one place would be seen a genteel,
ha:id:erne Frenchman, dancing to an ugly, vulgar
looking black face; and in another, a delicate !oak-
ing young lady, as fair as a going right and
lett with a great big negro, that looked as frightful
as Satan himself. I confess, I often pitied the poor
creatures that were ooltged to submit to such a de-
gradation ; but when I afterwards considered that
they would perhaps be massacred by the hands of
these sante partners, my blood boiled with indig-

nation.
About one o'clock of the following morning.
being a little fatigued, I concluded upon going
home; but was surprised to find that the gates were
fastened, by outer, and the soldiers stationed there
were ordered to let nobody out. In this dilemma. I
found but one remedy, and, without being very cere-
monious. 1 quietly laid down unon a bench in the
ball room, and took a nap. I awoke a little after
day light, and found them still dancing. All
around me, on the floor and benches, were to be
seen sleeping beauties, of all - colours but white,
who, it seems, had been seised with the same infc.iion
that I had been. At sun ace, we fell to eating
a an;a supper was set before us, being the remains
of our dii.ner, with some onion soup, un which we
cg.iled for a few minutes, then paid our devoirs to
our hostess, and went home.

battery, atid.threw several shells -.ninth, town. In these two
snacks Tripoli must certainly have, lost five hundred men. We

Cildwell and Mr. Dorsey. The bait blew up by the
fire of wads from another boat.
Sel. On the morning of the 22d of August, at half past one,
a w. the American gun-boats, lee. and two bombards entered
the harbour of Tripoli, and, within 600 feet of the Baihaw's

boats, aid two bombards. Thewbole of the American erre,
amounted to 89) men, and the Neapolitans to 129. The latter
behaved well. In the latter action, Capt. Chauncey, officers
and crew of the Jahn Adams, volunteered their servic.ev to the
Canstitution and gin-boats. We have been expecting to be
joined by Commodore Barron, and frigates; hut he will be Vo
late to end the affairs this year. as the summer season is ail but
over for gunboats, and Tripoli, in winter, can. illy be block.

" Further accounts have been received from our squadron

The following having appeared in the public
Papers :
fa We are authorised to my, that )idadlr W. H. Rrtty's ft•

(nuance of any aspLination whatever Imerreen else too Tiim:
be., bin in fulfillment of an agre.dient signed by Mr. lieu,
to 'M. ecc•ct iii Septeml•er lads."
We have authority to sav, that it is a paragraph
which affefts to be a crritratlidion of that which never
was asserted. The " explanation'. efetred to
was clearly stated to have taken place between the
Proprietors of Drury-lane Theatre and Mt. BUTT v,
and not 6e:tJeta the ltaa Tleetret. 'We have also au-
thority rn assert, that no " agreement" ever was
" riffle./ b.• Mr. flErre," whose "fa.fihred' com-
pelled " Master W. H. Beer v's rthstii to Corea-
garden Theatre efer Ea4rr," On the contrary, the
engagement for the first twelve alights old, was
positive, and a renewal for twelve nights mire at
that Theatre was optional, and at tf.e choke of ei•
ther party. Accordingly Mr. Retry, when be sub-
, sequently sieved his engagement with the Proprie-
tors of Drury-lane Theatre, decided not to rer.ew the
engagement with Govent-garden Theatre, beyond
" lhr larks sights stip:lea far," but to give the
preference to Drury-lane in all further offer's. Of
consequence, Master BLitt' could not retarn to
Coventigai den; but, i.n this preference bei g waved,
which was liberally acceded to by the Ro trd o!
Ma-
nagement of Drury-lane Theatre, I': om respe4t to the
very commendable anxiety of Mr. BITTY, to avoid
diqiute or litigation with either Theatre.
The g eatest benefit for the security of the pub-
lic, having been found to have arisen frcat the
proved system of patroling the roads n th- imme-
diate neighbourhood of town, it is the intention of
Government to extend the system to a greater dis-
tance, by employing careful men, aell armed and
mounted, on several of the roads. A plan to this ef-
left having been determited upon by L,nrd I !Ai% stes-
acav, and will be this week put into execution,
.under Sir RICH A RD FORD'S direnion, on the Houns-
low-road, which will be easefully patrole: for se-
veral hours every evening, from Brent ford to Slough,
and through Windsor to liagshot, and from Brent-
iard to the as place, through Staines.
Yesterday, ale Mr I:11Y a ail his family were

open, and enblard of property to a considerable
amount. One of the robbers was seen to come out
in a smock frock.
On Wednesday evening Mts. LIDDIODEL, many
a resident in Windsor Castle, and sister to Dr.
riasift:s, Bishop of Kildare, in the momentary ab-
sence of her servant, by some means set fire to her
clothes, by which accident she was burned in so
dreadful a manner, that she expired on Thursday
afternoon about three o'clock.
Yesterday afternoon, about three o'clock, a fire
broke out in the tap-room of the Bull's Head, public
house, within two doors cf Burleigh-street, in the
Strand, in conseqi ..nce of a German stove lacing
too much heated ; the Hoe communicated with the
kitchen chimney of Dawaasies Eating House, next
door, and for a few moments threatened a tceneral
conflagration ; but, from iustantaneous exertions, it
was got under, with little more damage than the
loss of a few sausages, and an apple pudding. which
were spoiled by the a. ot. Several engines were col-
tufted in a short time, but it was not necessary to re-
sort to their assistance.
