were employed all this day in getting the prisoners
on board, al d in the afternoon we sent several
people on hoard the prize, the Firer, 74, which we
h..ve in tow, to rig out jury-masts, and get some
sal& on her as she lost in the action ; her main and
wizen masts, and her foie top-mast, and fore masts,
were much damaged. Our Captain went on board

amongst whom are the Captain and a Spanish Ge-

the foot of the new Market Hill. within two miles of
the town, two sheep tan across the horses ; and the
postilion checked the horses to save the sheep. Being
very spirited horses, they plunged most violently,
and broke the near side trace, and nearly upset the
carriage, There is no saying what the consequence
might have been, had not a gentleman upon the
dickey, at the ri•k of his life leaped off, seized the
two fore ho:ses, and rescued the Ladies from their

Although wst the scene of anion, be assured we
are not quite negledted. Hundreds of votaries sa-
crificed at the shrine of Neptune this morning, and
tnen prepared for Lewes ; carts, chaises, donkies,
all were in requisition. The Steyne crowded with
am tteurs of the turf ; bets ran high on Lord DA te-
LiNcrom's Pavilion. The PRINCt had a pally laiit
night, and the band played. The Theaire was
honoured with a very elegant company ; the Du-

DOVER, AVG. 1.

Every thing remains quiet on the other side the
water. Tuesday and yesterday evening were both
very clear, and enabled us to take a most distina
view of the enemy's coast, which is one iron front
of fortification from Calais to Boulogne. There is
an appearance of a great many masts in the outer
harbour. Our cruisers form a very piSuresque ap-
pearance; some at anchor, others under sail in va-
rious direetions, within two leagues of the coast ;
and a proud refleaion it must be to every true
hearted Englishman, to see comparatively such a
mere handful of vessels hid defiance to, and keep in
durance vile, so many thousands of that immense
armada, that was, in spite of our efforts, to land
their hostile legions oft our shores. The camp at
Boulogne is really extensive, stretching to the south- '
west at least two miles, and how far into the inte-
rior can only be guessed at. We could distiniftly
perceive the troops on the shore performing ma-
nceuvres, and much on the alert. It is a pleasing
circumstance to mention, that in this neighbour-
hood our fortifications keep an equal pace .with
theirs. The heights are covered with formidable
batteries, which shew themselves one above the
other in terrific ascendancy ; and our troops are
kept in the striltest and most constant state of dis-
c•pline ; so that this is reckoned one of the safest
places in the kingdom.
The town is all alive, and every heart exulting a:
the joyful news brought by the post of this morn-
ing; and remains in anxious hope and expeaation,
that the next will bring us a triumphant cross of au
spirited and glorious a beginning.

BATLEY, Administrotrir of SALENTINE end resent,
V. BAYLEY and ALVCS. .•
The LOSS CHANCELLCR, on coming into Court,
said. he had read over the answer of the De-
feodant, Alves, and was of opinion, from the ad-
mission in. it, that Mr. Alves should pay into Court
onn-third pare of the sum of 13,11fil 17s. balance of
the account made out by Mr. Winter, as due to the
estates of Balentine and Frazer.
THOMPSON and lURPMAN V. BLINN.
Mr. Prows., on the part of the Plaintiffs, moved,
that a receiver should be appointed to receive the is-
sues and profit, of the trade carried on by the De-
fendant, and that the sever:A leases of premises, and
the honks and papers, now in the-possession of the
Defendant, should be deposited iii the office of the
Master, so as to allow the Plaintiffs to have access
to them. The Learned Gentleman then stated, as
the omen& of this motion, from the affidavits of
the Plaintiffs, that a Partnership had formerly sub-
sisted in the iron business between them and the
Defendant, and that they had paid a considerable
sum of money into it, with part of which, valuable
leasehold interests had been purchased, on Coxe's
wharf, and elsewhere. The hii;iriess was, for some
time, carried on by the Defendant, in the name of
Foreman and Bunn, not the Mr. Foreman who was '
in reality a partner, but a relation of his, who had,
in fael, no interest in the concern, and allowed his
name to be made use of only to oblige the Plaine
tuffs, who did not wish to appear as partners in the
house. At first it was agreed, that the partnership
should continue for seven years, but the Defendei t
afterwards refused these articles. and a partnershiie
was entered into without the time of its duration
being specified. This continued for some time, A.I
patties having a great confidence in etch other, and
' the Defendant contrived to get the leases of the pre-
mises into his possession; shortly after which a dis-
pute arose amongst them, the consequence of which
WAS, that the Defendant signified his intention if
dissolving the partnership, and immediately took
down the name of Foreman from the premises at
Core's Wharf, and said he carried on the business on
his own account, though it was with the partnership
property, and tit fused to give up the leases which
he had got into his possession, or to allow the Plain-
tiffs to have access to the books or premises, so as to
enquire into the state of the property, but said he
WAS about to take an account of the stock on hands,
which he would ;end them a copy of when perfe&ed
The affid twits farther stared, that the interest of the
Plaintiffs in the partnership property was consider.
ably greater than the interest of the Defendant, who
was the working partner, and had only a fourth of
the profits. MI . Pigot made several observations
on the different points in the affidavits as he stated
them, and concluded by saying, that if ever there
was a case in which a Court of Equity would inter-
fere, in a partnership account, it was the prese. t ;
' he therefore hoped his Lordship would be pleased to
malt• the order required.
Mr. Ross Jet. v, on the part of the Defendant,
said. he was convinced that, when his Lordship fully
understood the nature of the case, it would deci-
dedly prevent him from appointing a receiver, as de-
sired by the Plaintiffs. The affidavit of the De-
fendant, he said, stated, that he was the only osten-
sible person for all the dents due by the house, the
names of the Plaintiffs not being known in the firm.
This, the Learned Gentleman thought, was a very
good reason why the Defendant should keep posses-
sion of the property, as he was liable at any time us
be taken in execution on any of the outstanding bills..
which he, as the aCting partner, had signed for the
house, merely by the holder proving his hand-writ-
ing, which would be much more easily done than
bringing a number of witnesses together, so as to I
prove the partnership of the Plaintiffs. The De-
fendant's affidavit further stated, that he had
brought in his part of the capital in money to the
amount of 7,5001., and that the shares of the Plain-
tiffs were in stock in trade, and that the leasehold
property in question had been purchased with
his ready money ; notwithstanding which, the
Plaintiffs had the leases assigned to them, totally ere
eluding his name and claim to have whatever benefit
there may be in the sale of them, though it was an
agreement, when the partnership was entered into,
that at the dissolution, the partner carrying on the
business was to have them at the original price, so
that his name not being in the leases, the only secu-
rity he had for the property was the possession. The
affidavit also stated, that :the property at Core's
wharf had been sold to him by agreement, and posi-
tively denied that he had ever reused to permit the
Plaintiffs to inspeEt the books nr premises.
Several proposals were now made to let the matter
in question be referred to three persons to settle all
points in dispute, but the Plaintiffs would not agree
to the Defendant's being Appointed receiver, though
he offered to give good security, and the Defendant
would not agree that any other receiver should be
appointed, as he then could not pay the outstand-
ing bills, which he was liable to be arrested for, his
name being signed to them.
The LORD CHANCILLOR said, that as the De-
fendant bad sworn the property at Core's wharf was
his by purchase, he could not appoint a receiver as
to it ; if it we. not his, it would be very easy to con-
viet him of perjury, but he thought it better the
parties should come to some agreement, than press
him to decide on it.
Another attempt was made to come to some
amicable settlement, bus it proved ineffeaual.
Mr. rigor then spoke in reply at considerable i
length. urging the necessity there was for his Lord-
ship's appointing a receiver, and ordering the books,
and leases, to be deposited in the Master's Office.
The Loan CNANCILLOI said, he had no hesita-
tion in the world, about what he ought to do in this
case; but he would folloW the course he bad always
followed, namely, to give the parties a short op-
portunity of settling the matters in dispute, before
he would lay the heavy hand of the Court on their
property. He had sat, he said, twenty years at the
bar opposite him ; and he never in the course of all
that time knew the Court to make an order for
A receiver, on a partnership property, unless the par-
ties had first an opportunity of settling matters, or
that it was evident it would be for the benefit of the
parties, and a greater evil, if the Court did not or-
der the receiver, in the first instance. His Lord.

family of the Plaintiff, under the pretence of paving
hozourable addresses to the young woman, whims

nant by him, he cruelly abandoited her. Tie
Learned Counsel dwelt with peat force on the
misery which such conch& caused in Lao/dies, and
observed that, to a virtuous man, it mast he much
less painful to follow a beloved daughter to the
grave, than to see her thus dishonoured, and :.er
shame pullicly proclaimed-in a Court of Justice.
The Jury, as fathers themselves, would estimate
what were the damages which the Defendant ought
to pay for such base conduet.
Sarah Mills, the unfortunate young woman, was
first called—she stated that her father was A farmer
at Great Batson. The Defehdan• WAS also a farmers
and became acquainted with their family through
her brother. He professed hive to her, and pro.
mired to marry her. She became icquainted with
him at the latter end of the year 1 do 2. Ir. Jantiatr
1804, she went to visit his mother, and --bile

course with her, and she became pregnant.

admitted that she was at a dance at Is;alam F Or,
and staid late. but her eldest sister and a gentleman
were with her.
Elizabeth Mills and Lucy Mills, tw-t other dales-
ter, of the Plaintiff's, were called, and proved, tout
the Defet dant was received at the rentr'S him.: as
the intended husband of their sister. nitatwth
Mills admitted that a censorious a orld had accused
one of her sisters of having remained all night in .he
barracks, but it was not true.

Henry Mills, the brother, stated. that after his sis-
ter became pregnant, he called uonn the Defendant
to fulfil his promise of marriage, nut he received hors
very rudely, and told him, it it was not for the law,
be would beat h m out of doors.
Two witnesses were also called, wh stated. Clat

He, in return, said, " I don't know that ; I must

sl.all have it again." Mr. M then gave him the
pocket-book, and, opening his coat to get it, the
Prisoner said, " You have a watt, too, I must have
that, Sir." He gave him the watcii, and havtag
thus got all. he again took up the blunderbuss, and
said, " Come, Sir, off diredly, on delay." The
wit oess drove off, and the next day he heard his poc-
ket.book was left at the White Hart. at Woodford.
Wm. Robinson, groom to Mr. Furrier. said, he
met the prisoner in Snake's-lane, Woodford-bridge.
He offered him a pocketbook, which he refused to
take—but he drew a blunderhoss from beneath his
coat, and first made him give up hi; money ; he
next made him take the pocket-hook, and promise
to deliver it at the White Hart, as. he said, he might
find the owner, for he had just robb,:d a gentleman
of it. This witness said, he was sure of the person
of the pi isoner.
Lee. a pawnbroker, in London, stated that on the
7th of May the prisoner came to pawn a watch with
him.. He thought it necessary to ask lion some
Orations, which he answered is sn unsatisfaflory a
manner, that he sent for a constable, and took him
into. custody. When the officer searched him, he
denied he had any other watch, but another was
found upon him. The watch was produced, and
Mr. Malliner swore it was the same watch which
• was taken from him on the night of the robbery.

Mrs. Mulliner was also called, and she stated,
that she believed he was the same man.

of May, he went to the Red Lol, in Poppin's-court,
to carry some medicines for a Mr. Tare. While
they were there, the prisoner Bryant and another
,an, came in to talk to Mr. Fate about some mo-
ney which was due to the pi isoner's brother, who
died on ship.h,ard, Mr. Fare being in the h tbit of
recovering such money—the prisoner came in about
half past six, and staid till ten.
Fare was next called, who swore to the same Ga,
and another person of the name of Evans, who said,
he had formerly been a Lieutenant in the Bth regi-

The pri,finer stood also charged in a second in-

hat, but he saw no mat ks of any ball. The witness
said. he had passed before the prisoner fired, and
the report was so loud, that it was with difficulty the
horse could be kept from running away.
Wm. Pain, the Prosecutor's man, gate the same
account of the transallion, and both witnesses were
positive as to the person of the prisoner.--Verdict
amity.
The Prisoner persisted that he wasinnocent of both
Lets laid to his charge.

EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE.

TO THE EDITOR.

Stn—Reading in your Paper the account of the
occurrence which Jrew the attention of the public
to Mr. Williams's house, near Hatton-garden, give
me leave to mention a similar affair, which lap.
pened about sixty years back in Whitechapel, vie.
a collar-maker's journeyman in that strew, had, if
you may call it a gift, a facility of altering iris voice
in such a manner, that he has been the cause of
making the carter of a loading hay-cart take oat
each truss, by causing the surrounding crowd to
imagine some person was under them, and the cart
loaded when he was asleep; other tricks of a similar
nature he effeted for his own diversion I therefore
send you this narrative, and if the cause is not yet
discovered, I am of opinion, one in, or near the
premises, has occasioned all this disturbance in the
aeighhourho:)d of Conduit-street.
