BARBADOES, DEC. 5.--=-His Majesty's Brig Curieux
arrived yesterday iu Carlisle Bayrannounciug, by the
half-hoist of her colours, the death of her Captain.
The Carieux, Capt. SuothrsFF, cruizing to windward
of the Island, on the 2d inst. learned that a Vrench
Privateer Ship was to the northward of him, and
instantly shaped his-course so as to fall in with her.
The next day he discovered her. The enetYny, is
supposed aboUt the same time to have disco Verve
the Curieux, for he soon after bore up, and set mote.:
sail, which induced the Curieux occasionally to edge
off the wind, to bring them soon up with each
other. At two P. M. they came into action.'
A very heavy cannonade was kept up on both
sides for more than ati hour, when the Curieux,,
having advanced a little a-head, and become un-
manageable, frorn her tiller ropes,
,bow-lines,. and
braces being shot away, the Enemy took advantage;
of the occasion, and running down on her, attempt-
ed to board on the starboard quarter. In bravely
repulsing this effort, which the Enemy made with a
great number of men, Capt. SUMMIT received u ,
wound, and several of his crew were killed.

Such, however, was the warm reception given
the Enemy, that he immediately fell oil; Captain
SUMMIT at the same time receiving another, and
chat a mortal wound.
Lieutenant Meta, on whom the command now
devolved, continued the cola& with equal spirit ;
and the Enemy again attempting to' throw a num-
ber of men
.on board, owas driven back with such
slaughter as discouraged any other attempt, and
compelled him to give up the contest. The Cu-
iieux, being much disabled, had no chance of bring-
ing the Enemy again to a6tion, who now bare away.
The loss of alto Enemy tnust undoubtedly be con!.
siderable ; that on our part, we lament, has also
been great ; besides Capt. SHIRII.LIF, whose Manly
heart was fraught with every generous and heroic
quality, eight, seamen were 'killed, and twelve
wounded. LieuL MUIR was also slightly wounded ;
and Mr. TIIMPLt:TON, boatswain, dangerously.

THE LEEDS P&;ICE-MEETING

TO THE EDITOR, OF THE SUN.

Indignant at the gross misrepresentltion which
has been used to give u colour of respe6lability to the
Meeting held here on the 19th instant, for the pur-
pose of'petitioning the King for Peace, I feel impe-
riously called upon to wrest my Town and Towns-
men. from the contempt -under which they must
necessarily tali in the consideration of every loyal
and thinking man, should it icniain uneentradided,
bz publishing a faithful account of the transaolions
tit that day. Fot the veracity of my statement I
stand publicly pledged.
The Meeting Was composed of certainly not more
Than 2000 people (half of whom, I hesitate not to
say, do not pay the King's Taxes), including those
whO mingled in the motley crowd from motives
of curiosity and observation. This number has been
strangely exaggerated to from. 8000 to 11,006.
Much to the credit of the Clothiers, very. few Mas-
ter Clothiers attended : they were chiefly journey-
menand apprentices, and
,the very lowest'. of, the•
occupation. The Chairman was an illiterate, unin-
formed man ; his adherents on .the hustings were of
the lowest consideration.

Every Resolution was carried without a dissenting
voice; even the indecent Motion of presenting .Mr.
WILISIMWMCE with a flannel witisecout ;. for every
person Who left any consideration for chatadter had
too much reverence for himself to be ranked amongst
their opponents, or to hold the most remote con-
cern with snch a rabble.

LAW REPORT.

coNsIsToRV couitT; MONDAY, JAR. 25.

DgNNIS V. 7r )1

We have, on frequent oecasion6t, attended the
• bearing of this ciuse during the perus:d of nearly
non folios of,e,.idence, in (milt to give our readers
a correct report or this tnelatic;,oly case. On 'ajOr,
mer oeca-sioi w/C Statel the prtieeeding'S: in the Court
of King's Bench in "tile sante caie,: when a verdict
was iouud for the Ilan...tiff in the suin of 50001.
the preent was an application to tho. Spititul
Court wade by the linkhandl Colonel George .I)offivis,
for ti divorce a mom. et Mart): It was siocestiary,
in the course ot-thehe proceedings in the; r)onical
Court, to ontei• nut 'only into • al4 the c. • nit3llC4.'s
,-.-which were discussed in the trial at, Law, but- to
into a great variety of. cb.relative

‘`.%ir Wirt. SCOTT, 'this day, pronounced judgment
hi the cause. The: whole of the first division of his
, .
obserVations ano'citattons, from testimony, referred
to the that a child wa born: of the wife at
Gloucester, twelve, moot hs after 'the departu,re of the
111.18baIld to the West Indieal-andtheiLearned Judge
remarked-. that the evidence supported this fita,
vond the possibility of d,ribt,or contraditltion. :Con-
sidering the • Law as laid clown in, Mr. Ruder's
learned" note to Coke';--,lnst. p. 120, add by Sir
Thos. Ridley, p:55, andiretipaing on the, principles
of physiology, as applicable to .the subject, lie.said
it was his painful duty to pronouoce, that. thechild
there burn was not the offspring of the hnsband,
Col. George Dennis. His next inquiry was, who
was the father of the child said,- that it ap-
peared, from the concurrence of a
,great variety of
depositions made under circumstances in which .the
credit ni the witnesses was unquestionable; that Mr.
Philip_Dennis- was guilty of adultery with this. Lady,
and that it was in the highest degree proliable.ttrat:
be was the father of this child; •

On these grounds, the Learned Judge determined,
that Colonel George Dennis was entitled to the relief
the law gave to an injured husband, unless be had
forfeited his right by some act or neglea of his own.
It was stated, that he could not eitablish his right :
first; because lie had been conducive to his own.dis.
honour : secondly, because he himself had violated
the conjugal vow ; and,his rnisconduk, either with
respe& to the one or the other, would he sufficient
to deprive him of the relief he sotight. It must not
be permitted•that.a wile should bq desertek and left
to the consequences at her own iMmorality. Qui
non vetat cum (Jebel, jubet. If a man see the virtue'
of his wife undermined; without interposing rpr her
protection, he has abandoned his duty ; and still
more, it he 'have atfordeAl.facilities and opportunities
for the surrender of tier virtue, which he ought to
bay,. 40011 tea.. ,

The Learned Judge here noticed a .welhlinown
ease, where a husband condu4ted his wife into a
post-chaise, where it might have been,suspetted that.
she Was ~oing,in pursuit of her paramour. 4n that
instance, and in every other of the like kind, no
ought to be conceded... Sir Wst. SCOTT read
several passages trent the letters Of, Colonel George
Dennis;" by which it 'appeared, that be Considereq
• his brother, Philip Dennis, as a very immoral man,
and in which 4.e reproved him for disrespeCtful and
in lecent familiarity with Mrs. Dei)nis, when. the
brother was an inmate at their house in Ireland.
Notwithstanding these grounds of suspicion, the
brother, in 1795, was permitted to accovpany them
to Countess Were House, in Deivonshire, .and there
they remained together as if perfeti confidence sub-
sisted between them. Subsequently, Colonel Dennis
went to the West Indies, leaving his wife in the
rare of this 'suspected and unworthy brother. It
was proved., that. the husband obtained for his bro-
ther leave of absence, in ordqr that his brother might
remain at home with his wife. After his, return,
ColonelDenpis wrote in this manner to his:brother :
" Has not. a child been gotten in :my absence, .when.
necessity•obliged me to leave her under your'eare.??
What necessity I Necessity of proteotion? What
rote Zion did she require but her own 'prudence,
After having. been *married for the term of lei) years
How many Ladies iu this.great city lived .in perfe&
security, under the prote6tiou ;ot .their own benour
and virtue?

Many extraEts from successive letters were road;
to spew the 'imprudent coodud of. Colonel Dennis,
'who, Sir Wm. Scoyr said, was pet alive td his own
misfortune- and disgrace until his brother pressed
hint to discharge a debt, ,and when under this pecu-
niary embarrassment, be auswered the claim, by the
accusation of this incestuous connection.
There was a large portion of this cause still re-
maining untouched'; and that was, .the charges of
ttdultery alledged. rs. against :her. fins:-
band, George Iktinis. These charges sWer6-princi-
Tally direeted to his intercourse with. a. walnut of
colour in the West Indies,qand a young Lady of this
city. • It' the examination of :the assertions nott, re-
ferred to were necessary to the administration _of
that justice 'which was •dueitcr The parties; the
Learned ,fudge said, that he would not neglect to do
his duty in thittinquiry, although it was a'rerrdeli-
cafe matter to inveStio6 such chaygesi: invotatyg
the criminality' of persoos not in Court, and wire,
therefore, had rio opportunity of appearing in their
own vindication: Eortunately, on this occasion,
justice did not regeiresueh,a proctdure ;,for whe-
ther Colonel (:;,.orge Dennis were criminal or not, in
these respei:ts, the. result would be th,,, same, and
the Courtwould come precisely to ihe sarue§vonclu-
,tiion. After a tew additionai.cbservationsi,the,suit
was dismissed, without granting, t he. sought by
the Plaintiff._ • •

COURT OF (.11,,r4CaitY, lAN. zs.

DROWN V. WARNER.

The- Plaintiff in this case entered into an agree-
rnea with the Defendant fora house.on
for which he cogl;ed io pay hint 401.-16 r good-will,
fixtures, &c. alid'4ol-. per annuraol-yearly rent, pay-
able ylarterly. The mcmorandtim,of Jease.conta!ticd
a clause, by whkth it wai agreed that 111rW.4bould.
not increase the rent, nor tome .Mr. B. to quit, so..
- Jong liiti he regularly 'paid. the._ rent-quarterly. The
fogretqftent tuok place in IRUI, and the _Defendant.,
tionte Time ago, gave the Plaintiff •wari,ing, -.which
he followed up with ejeaioent. The Plaintiff,
si the trial, pleaded =: the, clause in his agreement

as a bar to the ejetament. Lard ELLE:NBOROUGH,
who tritd the case, however, -and after Wards the
_,Court, gave it as their opinion, that the writing
in question was either a 'easel-I'om year to year,
or it was a lease during life; determinable at the
pleasure of the grantee. In this, latter view of the
ease, it was a species of freehold, which
.could only
ee tarried by deed. The PlaintitY,of,course, failed
in his defence. A bill Was afterwards filed. ie Equity,
and an injunction granted restraining the Defendant
from proceeding in his ejearnent.
Sir.-SAMUEL ROMILLY how 41CWed Catise why
the injunCtioti should not lie dis Solved. He parti-
cularly dwelt -on the clatise by which it was agreed
that the Defendant should not'be at liberty. to in'-
, Crease the renr, nor to force the Plaintiff to quit, so
long as the rent was dilly paid quarterly, and, from
comparing this,claese with another stipulation in the
agreement, by which the Plaintiff :was to pay '401:
On his entry, argued, that if the Defetelam's inter-
pretation of the agreement, were cOrrea, he plight
have compelled the Plaintiff to quit at the end of
tins first year, thereby subjeOing.him in 801. rent for
that year.
. .
,Mr. HART .and Mr. WEIR, for the Defendant,
contended, that here there was
.clearly a lease duly
from year to year. . The agreement. founded On was
executed, net executory ; and not being by the law
of this country sufficient to carry a freehold right—
to which, if it amounted to any thing beyond an
agreement to let from year to year, the
.Plaintiff's
argument would carry it—must be restriaed to that
interpretation which it could legally admit.
The. LORD CIIANCEkLOR w,as- by no Means Satis-
fiterthat the' interpretation put on the writing in
question by the Court of Law was correct. He knew
Courts Of LaW had changed greatly in their opinion
as to. what'ivas a lease, and what was an obligation
to enter into a lease. For his part, he conceived the
writing in question to be of the latter description ; and
not in itself a complete execution of the intention of.
parties, but as the paper itselfborea memorandum
of agreement as to the nature of the transaction to be
entered into. There being therefore a reasonable
doubt whether the Court might not, at,tht hearing
(a• the cause, interfere, and grant some relief to the
Plaintiff, his Lordship could net, by dissolving 'this
injundion„ preclude him from every such benefit.

COURT OF KING's BENCII, lAN. 25.
CUMMINS V. BROWN.

The ATTORNEY-GENFAA', m 0 •ed for a Rule to
shew cause why there should not be a new ti jai in this
ease,' The cause was tried fit Guildhall, the Sittings
after last Term, in London, and the Plaintiff claimed
as indorsee of a bill of lading of some wines consigned
from Guernsey by the house of Jens and Co, to one
Mayne, The Defendant was the Captain, and the
,
question arosenpon a 'stoppage 'in transits, and re-
solved itself into this tingle point, Whether, When
the consignee had not, paid tar the goods, and the
indorsee of the bill of ladlng knew that. he had not
paid for thein, the indorSee'.codld not recover ?

The ATTORN EY 7GANERAL contended at the trial,
that the right of the indorsee was only proteaed in
law, where he might reasonably suppose that the
goods were paid for.
Lord ELLENBOROUSII, 'C. J. at the trial held, that
upon the authority of Lickbarrow v. Mason: OH in•
dorsee for a `valuable consideration; Without fraud,
was entilled to recOcr, anti that the Consignor, as
against
.him, could not stop the goods in lransitu ;
and the Jury fouridta verdict for the Plaintiff.-11is
Lordship appeared still to maintain the same opinion,
but the question" being of importance, the Court
granted a rule to shew cause.

SPENCELEY;- QUI TAM, V, DE WILtOTT.

Mr: GARROW obtained a nule to show Catltie NV by
the judgment obtained should not be set aside.
The judgment was for 20,0001. pepalt ies for
ustirYi and was obtained on the evidence of the
Marquis De Cliambonas. It since appeared, that
previous to the trial the Plaintiff had assigned all his-
right to the verdia, and the stun to ,be recovered,
to. De -Chambonas.

made two small puntaires near the end of it with

not and, was.seized with a trembling. She had no
difficulty.. in swallowing any liquid, notwithstanding,
as wa3 afterwards proved. I then brought a pewter
basin filled with water, and slopped it. about before
'her; but on muchagitatingThe water, and phuring
it out of the- basin into a pewter pot', and from
thence back to, the basin a few times,- she looked at
it with horror, and was so distressed, without hav-
ing any-idea of my motives,, that she begged I Would
take it away, or that she could stay in the room.
_When :appeased hy the removal of the Water, after
this experiMent, she told rue, that in the morning,
as she was draWing some water from the cistern in.
the yard, she wasseized with a trembling, giddiness
Of the head, and terror, at the sight and noise of the
water running' into the pail. She was ignorant of
the cause. I knew, from woefhl experience, what
mischief was at hand.. But knowledge without
Proinptithde, like promptitude without knowledge,
here, is of no avail. I desired her,to go immediately
home, and to go to bed. I should have had doubts
of the utility of:applying my usual caustics, Lapis
and Butter of -Aryinwny (the cure in re-
cent cases), to the bitten. parts, which were healed;
in three :days after the accident, and had now uo
-other visible remains 'than two small indentations
of the:skin, nut that the
,state of. the Linger and,
hand sheaved the•virus was still atlive in thd parts
adjacent. to the original wounds therefore
,I -had
the ikin removed where the wounds had been, and
instituted a drain, which was continued through the
whole,process of treatment.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, I had an
.ounce
of Ibluelitum Mercuriale fortius well rubbed in by
herself, about her neck, throat, thighs, and legs;
then gave" her the- following draught, with diteetions.
to promote perspiration every-way possible .
it. Julep. o tamphord, unc. 2.

Votat. Aromat. dr. i.

_ This draught was repeated every four hours.
-1 visited her in the, evening,: and found her in a.

great perspiration, pulse I 12,sMall, and tretnulous.
lie had 'some sleep. tiller the fridiciti and draught.
The sighing, terror, and dread of water, still re-
mained. When the door was shut with some noise,
she started up in bed much frightened. She could
not bear, the
,light of a candle in her chamber. I
asked her why ? She said it appeared to her like the
light of twenty candles, and.distratled her head. I
ordered the mercurial frietion to be repeated at live
o'clock the next Morning. On the 16th I visited her
in the forenoon. She had perspired profusely during
the whole, night, and had slept at intervals. Her
breath was already.very oirensive, and her gums
sore from the two fri&ions, within.the space of nine-
teen hours. Pulse 96, but irregular, all symptoms
abated. I ordered the draught to be continued, and

a repetition of the friatioii at five o'clock in the
afternoon. visited heragnin at nine O'clock in the
,evening. She had perspired considerably all the
day. Her, gums were much . affected by. the mer-
cury, and, the saliva began to flow plentifully. I
ordered the draught to be continued, and the fric-
tion to be repeated at five o'clock the following
morning, _ ,

On the 17th I visited her about noon. The mer-
'miry had disordered her bowels in the night, and
brought on torrnina and bloody stools. Thus, the

salivation 'was checked, and the draught necessarily
discontinued; .The evils being removed, the.saliva-
-tion returned in the most extensive manner; and
continued .until:the 2qth, when.it began to abate,
declined gradually, and ceased. Four ounces of the
ointment, all that was used, were rubbekin, and
`cornpletcly so, at four frietibuS; Within 48 - hours.—
She is now in perfea health, and I am 'under no ap-
prehension ,concerning her safety.
This is the. only case of, complete Hydrophobia,:
from the bite of a nlad.dog, successfully treated, on
•;reeord. But in t hi:ill:lke the hyttrophobia wits.re'cent,
and,timely discovered. The dyscataposis, or.difliculty

'Would_ inevitably have.. prodUced.:thetil. Then all
hopes would have been cut otf from any advantage
by internal remedies,' which are now of • the utmost
.auxiliari importance, in preventing what can never
be cured.:l-these direful precursors of the fatal Ra-

It has been customary to call this dise.ase by the
seneriil name of Hydrophobia., but that is inForrea:.;
'therefore 1.-dlri;i4e, the diSease into three -stars":
HYdrophobia, or ilia dread of water.
2. Dyscataposis,

It is my practice, and 1 recommend it to others,
when called to patients bitten by a mad dog, to try
them iinniedi,itely, and front time to time, With wa-
