A circumstance recently occurred in Japan, which
will probably prove prejudicial to the interest of the
Dutch, in that kingdom. A Batavian ship arrived
there, refused to submit to the customary regula-
tions of the country, of taking away her sails, guns,
and rudder, during her stay; and an armed boat
was sent from the shore to enforce obedience : on
its approach, however, the Captain fired into ite
and wounded several of the people. The foams on
shore were immediately seized, and would have
been put to death, had not the Captain surrendered
himself and ship to the daposal of the King. The
result of this transa6on is not known ; hut, it is
snpposcd, that the Dutch will either be subjeet to
further rigour, or he deprived of the exclusive trade
which they at pres.mt enjoy.

PRISONERS OP wirß.

The following Correspondence has taken place
between this Country and France, upon the sub:Jilt
of Prisoners of War :—With the humanity that cha-
TA/krises this country, we have (though the French
Government will not consent to any cartel) sent
back to France the French prisoners, whom age,
wounds, or infirmities, rendered incapable of laive
service. We desired, that a similar measure should
be adopted by the French Government, and that
in particular, a severely wounded British Officer
should be permitted to return home. What was

SATURDAY, Novinaita 23.

A boat arrived on Thursday morning, at Dover,
from off Boulogne. At the time she left Sir Sin..
?rev SVITI4% squadron, no attack had been made
upon the French flotilla. The latter remained in
the same situation in which it was on Wednesday,
under the protodhea of the batteries on shore, and
with the heavy ships, in a semi-circle, on the outsile.
The wind had got round to the eastward, and the
Britios squadron was in a position which indicated
an intention to break the enemy's line. Nothing
material had taken place up to three o'clock, p. m.
on Thursday. except a casual rencounter between a
French guard-boat and an English vessel, webelieve,
one of the double-boats constroded under the imme-
diate direftion of Sir SIDNEY SMITH. We are con-
cerned to state, that the Frenchman fired into our
boat, and killed five of our crew. We have already
stated, that the Expedition had lost much of the
importance which common fame had attached to it.
Instead of an expedition which was to land a body of
tmops competent to storm Boulogne, we now tee it
cut down to an attempt entirely by sea. We
have bad always a eraisiog squadron off Boulogne.
Sir SIDNCT Sutra's armament may be considered as
only a strong reinforcement of it. He may bom-
bard the French flotilla, and employ against it those
new devices of exploding arrows and inflammable
matter, but he has no means with whie,h to attempt
a reap de win% or, we should presume, to force his

.-eny into the liartour of Boulogne. While On while

importance. While it was in preparation, it
would have ill become Government to under.
rate it. The more consequmce was attached
to it, the mote effoatial it must prove, to fu
as it had for its object to create a diversion,
Rut now, when it is completely iteveloped, and
found to 62 up a scale far below public expeile.
Lion, to magi ify its importance, can only serve the
pitiful purpose of exciting as interest in aid of g
dull sale, or to lay a foundation for imputing blinke
and disappointment to the Spirited and entelptisiag
Admiral, who commands the expedition.

The fast ssiling armed ship, Georrn.r
Captain RITCHIE, arrived late on Saturday even;
at Greenock, from Trinidad, after a passage of 47
days, and landed a mail, and dispatches for Govern.
ment from Admiral OICH't AKE, who arrived at
Trinidad a few days helo e Captain Iturcitte
sailed, with the Northumbtilend, 74, fica,41;,.., and
libation frigates, Express brig, and two schnonees,
and appointed a convoy to sail on the Bth
Oflober. Captain Ibl-cilia brings an aecou-.t
of a very gallant anion in the West-Indies,
fought by His Mainz schco:xr ,
of 12 guns, and 45 men, commanded by Lien:.
JOHN cAMPUELL, which, on her return from
Tortola, whither she had escorted a detachmert
of ships from the other islands, to join the due
convoy, fell in with the famous French -private4
Grand Decide, ship, of 30 guns, and t 7.50 men.
The henchman, confident of making this little
bark his prize, ran her alongside, but met with
such an unezpeded and warm reception, that he
was obliged soon to haul off to repair his darmcge4.
He began the attack a second time, v ith no I,r;-
ter success, as the gallant little crew of the Mozam.
rime fought with redoubled courage, and so tore up
the privateer, that she was obliged, finally, to sheer
off. Our little bark, however, pursued the flying
Frenchman, with a determination to take him, by
boarding, which the height of the bruins pre-
vented. As an adieu, however, they gave the pri.
vateer a complete mauling. Lieutenant Ca m rut is
received gust praise for his intrepid conduct ; and
the Admiral, it is said, was immediately to pro-
mote him.

The Go-...ergtor Paths left Trini lad n• the let ult.

The island was quite healthy.

Serious fears arc entertained that the Biter gun-
brig has been lost on the French toast ; several u-
tides, with the name of that vessel on them, having
been picked up by our cruisers. It is hoped, that
the crew may have reached the French shore, and
are now prisoners.

His Majesty's ship, Lapiegle. Capt. MJtial', ar-
rived in the Bay of Dublin, on Satin-sky se'nnight,
from Cork, to take the vessels now loading for Lon-
don and the Channel, to the Downs, and was to
sail on the 19th.

The Isabella, Capt. SM ITU, is arrived at Newry.
in thirty dap, from New York ; we are happy to
state, that the Yellow Fever had entirely subsided
before Captain Bartle sailed. He bas brought over
clean bills of health ; the Board of Health having
declared, the ci:y was convalescent.

LAM INTELLIGENCE.
COL! T OF CHANCERY, Nov. 22.
cone. v. 91•111141 AN.
A Commission of Bankruptcy was isseed against
the Plaintiff, and the Commissioners had written to
him, then in Ireland. to attend a meeting of cre-
ditor. at Livery' .1. The Plaintiff, in consequence.
CAM* over to Lindon„and while here, in the aEt of
obeying the order of the Commissioners, was ar-
rested at the suit of the Defendant.
Mr. ROMILLY, after descanting on all these cir-
cumstances, stated, that they were made nut by alb-
davits which were now ready, and applied to the
Court for an order that Mr. Ogle should be dis-
charged from the arrest made on him. at the snit of
the Plaintiff, and also from all the detainers laid
upon him during that arrest ; and that a service of
the order at the places of abode of the several parties
be deemed sufficient service—which was granted.
Mr. ROW IL L Y asked, whether it were necessary
that a petition should be presented before the order
Was made out ?
The Loan Chi AWC ri.r.oa replied. that he did net
think it necessary, a, lie recolleCted a similar case,
in which Lord Thurluw made such an order upon
viva IWY'eappliceion.

ROSS O. CUNNING/IAV.
A bill had been tiled to compel the execution of
an agreement, under the following circumstances :
At a meeting, for the purpose, between two gentle-
men of the name of Caney arid Peters; the parties
had entered into a parole agreement, that the for-
mer should purchase an estate from the latter, at
Pennington, upon certaia terms, which were not
specified. The fan of the a?Teemmt wis proved
by a letter from Mr. Udney to Mr. Peters, stat.
jog, that he agreed to purchase the estate
upon the terms levied between them at their
meeting, anu another letter from Mr P. tors to Mr.
'ollet, the agent to them h h, direetiag bins to
make out a conveyance of the estate, in pursuance of
the said agreement. Af:e- that, Mr. Wiley niade
will, devising the estate to certain psrsohs, and the
bill was filed by his exe inor, to compel the execution
of the agree nent, To this an answer was put in,
And the ease was referred to the ielaster.
Mr. Rattly intrauliced the business this day.
on an exception to the report, contencline, that the
validity of all such agreements must depend ups n
the terms, of which not one word WAS menti ,ne I in
either of these letters hi ali transadtions of this
kind, the agreement itself was scarcely ever the mat-
ter in dispute, and the difference only arose as to
the terms, without which, it was inipossitle for any
port:lase br agteemeot to subsist. He, therefore,
subtaitted. that Mr. Udne, had no right to devise
what did riot belong to him; and, consequently, that
his executor could not require an execution of what
was ss incomplete, that the deviser himself could
not have compelled it.
Mr. Rice sos, on the other hand, contended,
that as Mr. U.n.ey was entitled, at tile time of his
making his will, to call for the completion of the
Agreement, he had, its equity, a sufß:ient title to de-
vise it.
After a great deal of pleading on both sides,
The Loso CNANC/LLON said, that no rule of
that Court was more cle trly establishe I, than *het,
where there Was an agreement, in writing, he, wren
any two parties, it the purChaA,r ha 1 an equitable
right to the agreement, he consequently might
favise it as well as other property. In this ore, two
letters were shown, to pr. ve the agreement, in writ-
ing; but as no mention whatever was made of the
terms, supposing that Peters had died in this state
of the transaftion, it was evident, flit Mr. (Arley
could not have called upon his executors to execute
his agree:nent, of the terms of which they know no-
thing ; upon the whole, as Mr.liditey could not tie-
vise what was not his at the time, his ear cutras
:Quid not he placed in a better situation than the
deviser himself.

The esemption was altered, and, after heating a
few CdUSCS more, of trifling import, the Court ad-
journeJ.

he had oht tined his certificate.

to the opinion of the Court, whether the bankrupt
'haul,' have made an assignment of this after•pro-
perty to his assignees f or, whether he could main.

Mr. R ICH sensor+, for the Defendant, argued this
ease tit great length, contending, that the bankrupt
could not maintain his anion, although he might

signees. lle assimilated this case to several others,
which he cited ; among which was one of a chimney.
sweeper's isov, who found a jewel, and brought it
to a golibmith, to ascertain its value ; but the latter
da d it, and the chimney-sweeper brought his ac-
ots, when it was smemnly determined, that he had
a right to the possession of the jewel against all the

Lord tti i.tuaotmon, is pronouncing the judg-

Court could give no opinion with respect to the

argument could be drawn from the pradice on the

convenience ,ir necessity, and no suck necessity or
conve:,icnce was alleged. Nothing. theiciore, in
this case could be presumed by the Court, but ac-

Their Lords:iips were therefore of opinion.

The Socicilt.ii-Gatteriac applied to the C urt
for an attachment against Henry Tatham, keeper
of the gaol at Warwick. for not executing the sen-
tence of the Court against one Robert iidney Sid-
ney had been sentenced to two years imprisonment,
bet the gaoler advanced him to the post of turnkey,
and he was frequently seen ou:side the gaol.
Lord Eti.Lnisomoune observed, that he had
known instances of this sort of indulgence granted
within the gaol, as a reward to persons for
their meritorious conduct in confinement ; and was
very much to he commended in keepers of prisons.
But his being at large outside the gaol,,was quite
another aff.tr,land the Court accordingly granted the
rule.
Mr. W11.90t4 moved the Court for a Writ of
ilfaannue, iii the nature of a Quo !Variant., to he di-
reCted to Mr. Pexall Foster, to shew how he claims
to he a Common Councilman of the Borough of Yar-
mouth. By the statute of Charles the Second, a
certain number of Commons sad Aldermen were to

which sufficient notice was previously to be giv..n.
—oti the tt Ist June 1.1. t, a meeting took place, not
for any particular pupose; when one or the members
observed, that Mr. Thompson, a Common Council-
man, was de..d; when it was immediately proposed
that they should pructted to an election, to till this
vacs icy, without making any further inquiry. The
Mayor was prewnt, and consented, but many of the
Commons refused to ballot, and went away, so that
nothing mole was done on that day. A subsequ-in
meeting wok place, and, under the direction or the
kiayor, a ballot nits demanded, but several refused
to vote, and left the loom, and a suffickat
number to constitute a majority of the body
did not remain ; however, toe election was pro-
ceeded on, and Mr. Foster sworn iii before

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, stiv. fl.
The bu:iness done here this day was of a very
uninteresting nature. Arguments on points of
practice occupied the greater part of the time of the
Court. The hiilowing was worthy of attention,
only because it establishes the pi isChee of the Court,
on which ►efore their was a .inference in opinion.
11107 FIT O. CANTILR.

Serjeant MAISHAL shewed cane• against a ode
obtaine,l on a former day by Sr j 'ant Ilksr, that
the Interlocutory judgment should be set aside for
irregularity, with costs. The nature of the aElion
did not appear. nut the irregu;aritics complained of
by Serjeant tics?, on the part of the Detrit.fe..t,
w re, fit-L. that his client hair not been personally
served v •t h notice ; and next, that the notice had
been ved on if,: Saturday before the assoign day
of te:•.n, which h:rppeue.J to be on a Sucelay, stating,
that tin: decla- ation WA . then tiled, whtu, in fact,
it was not file.. anal the Moaday after.
Serjvant rlau•aaa, on the part of the Plaintiff,
argued considerable length, and quoted several
CAWS to prove, that personal service W. necessary,
it the notice came to the Defendant's hand ; and
also to prove, that he was not irregular in serving
bis notice on the Saturday before the assoign day,
and not filing the treclaration until Monday.
The COLIST was of opinion, that, as the l]-fend-
' ant did not swear, he had no knowl:dgc of the n-J-
-tice, Zierjeant Baia could take nothing hy that part
of his motion ; but, on application to the officers of
the Court, it was determined, that serving the no•
tice on Saturday, and not filing the declaration until
Monday, was irregular ; and that in all instances,
where the assoign day nappased to be on a Sunday,
the day followinz (Monday), was the proper day for
filing the declaratiou, and serving notice of it. Ser-
jeant Bass's Rule was therefore made absolute with
costs.

At one o'clock, the Court adjournri, of r w!:ich

given up. This transaCtion happe:ted in t.e year

gave it into the hands of Mr. Shepherd, and this
