Capt. Co ciT E , who was captured in the Ranger
Sloop of War, by the gochefort Squadron, in July
last, arrived at Southampton on Wednesday last, in
the Kitty Cartel, from Morlaix, on his parole, to be
exchanged. Capt. COOTE was confined at Tours,
The capital of Touraine, where he left, on the 12th of
June, Captain BRENTON, of the Navy ; Dr: GREY,
of the Navy, and family ; DoEtors MORGAN and
"Jolcsotc, and several others, prisoners of distinc-
tion, quite well. His health was so impaired; by
.being confined six months an board the Majestuex
and Suffrage, that he came from Tours to Nantz,
-down the Loire, in a shallop. He was a witness,
-Whilst On board the French Admiral's Ship, of the
•,13rae defence made by the Calcutta, Capt WOOD-
-RIFF, which*was captured by the same Squadron.
They • were six months at sea, besides the fifteen
days they were watering at Teneriffe and Vigo.—
At the latter place Captain COOTE saw the two
• French and one Spanish Line-of-Battle Ships which
Sir ROBERT CALDER beat. They were rendered
quite unserviceable, as there Were no Docks at Vigo
in which they could be repaired, and it was impossi-
ble for them to go to sea without repair. The people
of France are prevented by fear from holding inter-
course with our countrymen there; if they are the
least suipeaed of it agehs tliarme enters the house, the
person is carried to the TemPle, and never more
heard of. The pay of a French soldier is per 'day,
'and his allowance a pound and a half of bread
per:day. The English Officers live at a prodigious
exvence.• The French, who are wanting in every
principle of honesty, if they suspea their guest to be
a stranger, exaa- the mast. extravagant price for
every article. The Kitty landed nine French Of'
ficers at Morlaix : she was only 7 hours on her
passage back to Southampton.

pICKPOCKETS:

Yester'clay Bill Sowles' gang of pickpockets, id-
eluding himself, IV/ate alias eunkeybe4u, and
Dick Hillytfrd, whO were detected ,at the Mar-
quis of Lansdowne's Masquerade, and coliviCteil be-
fore Mr. BOND and Sir WILLIAM PARSONS, as re-
puted thieves, were brOught before the CoUrt for
the confirmation of the conviction.

Mr. ALLEY, for the Prisoners, took an objetaiori
to the conviEtion, as in reciting the preamble of t 1
AR of the 42d of the present King, under which the
Prisoners were convieted, the work " 'iiore" was
omitted;

The Court over-ailed the obje&ion, as there is a
very proper clause in the Ad, which enacts, that no
conviction. shall be qua Shed on account of any in-
forinality.
• The case proceeded for some time with the evi-
dence of Captain Townsend and the Officers of Bow-.
street, the particulars of which we gave on their
convidion at Bow-street; but another onjetaion %- as
taken, that the conviction stated that the prisoners
had been convided before NICHOLAS BOim and Sir
WILLIAM.PAASONS, without stating that they were
Magistrates for the County of Middlesex. This the
Court, felt themselves. obliged to yield to. One of
the Magistrates pointed out another material error
in the convietion,. viz. that the prisoners were con-
vided as not being able to give an,accdunt of them-
selves; whereas that Was not what they Were charged
with. They' were charged with being- reputed
thiv.ves;
. The 'court, therefore, very reltiCtintly, were
obliged to let theSe notorious charaders loose upon
the public again.

A Letter received from the river Gambia, on the
Coast of Africa-, mentions that Mtnioo PARKE, the
celebrated. Traveller,. with the whole of his retinue
(two or. three only excepted), had been assassinated
by the natives in the interior of the Country. This
story is stated to have been verified by the arrival of
the persons who escaped. the massacre at.Wydah.
TRAINING BILL.—The following are the principal
prdvisions of this Bill, as it passed the House of
Commons :

" That His Majesty may order ballotS in any county, and
in any proportion : that Parishes may exempt themselves
from the, ballot by volunteering to be trained and exercised.
and to serve under the same regulations as if they had beat
ballotted for: fines to be levied on ballotted men not at.
tending ; ballotted
,persons may enter a Volunteer Corps,
but they must engage to continue in the Corps for a certain
number of months. His Majesty may order persons to 'be
trained, and regulate the time and place of exercise. Sun.
days excepted as days of exercise, On apprehension of In-
vasion, His Majesty may embody personsenrolled, and place
them in existing fteginients, or assign them to form new
Corps. The men may be provisidnally embodied: His Ma-
jesty to appoint Officers.

BOAT-RACE.-Yesterday Afternoon a Prize was
started for by the Diana, the Phcebe, and the West-
moreland (three 4-oared cutters), from the Roebuck,
Milbank, through Battersea Bridge, and back again.
The prize was.a Silver Cup, given by W.Wheller, the
landlord of the house, hnd.the boat that should gain
two of three heats was to be the winner. The boats'
crews were of that description which is generally term-
ed Cutter4,ads, that is, a sort of pra&ical amateurs.
The Company belonging fo a fourth Boat (the Apollo)
wished to become candidates, but the Westmoreland's
crew would not' assent to the proposition, on the
ground that these were too much of professional men
to start among a set of half-brad watermen. The three
first-mentioned Boats then rowed for the Prize, but
the Diana's men were so much more atitive, and
at the same time so cool and steady, that they pulled
at least five strokes to either of the others' four.—
The Westinore/and and the Phoebe were very near:y
equal, and the Diana won the two first heats, by
nearly thirty boats lengths each titn‘e..

Monday se'nnight the Court ofKing's-Bench, Dub-
lin, was occupied in the trial of an anion brought
by James Tandy, Esq. of that City, against Braha-
zon Morris, Esq. -of the County of Meath, for de-
famatory words.—The words .charged were near-
ly these : " I was dining in the house of James
Tandy, in Dublin, on the 19th of May, f7ge,
when a person came abruptly in, and said, We are
all undone! Lord 'Edward Fitzgerald is taken; and
we have neither money, arms, nor ammunition !'
Upon whiCh; observing that the company did not
receive what he said with approbation, he said,
suppose we are all friends here r —and went out
again, and was followed by Mr. Tandy, 'who soon
after returned, and desired us not to take notice of
what that person said, for that he was a poor flighty
man, who knew not what he was *doing." To this
charge the Defendant -pleaded the general issue,
anda justification of the truth of the Words: The
SOLICITOR-GENERAL - stated the Plaintiff's case;
several Witnesses were examined, and at four o'clock
the trial was adjourned to Tuesday.
The trial was resumed -on Tuesday, when wit-
nesses for the Defendant were examined. Counsel
On both sides spoke to .evidence, and the 'Learned
Chief Justice changed the Jury at considerable length.
The damages were laid at Ten Thousand Pounds.
--,The Jury, after retiring for a few minutes, re-
turned a yerdia for the Defendant.

FROM THE

COMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS,

RELATIVE TO THE
ADMINISTRATION OF CIVIL JUSTICE

IN SCOTLAND.

By the committee of the'whole House appointed
to consider the Matter cif the Administration of
Civil Justice in Scotland.

erRDEFIED TO REPORT,
That the Committee have met and considered the
matter to them r,.terred, and have come to the fol-
lowing Resolutions, viz.
Resolved,
I. That it appears to this Committee that the in-
crease'of manutatitures; extension of trade, improve-

ments of agriculture, and consequent multiplication
of transactions, nave varied the nature and greatly
increased the number of Suits brought before the
Courts of Law ,in Scotland, and theme by Appeal
into this House ;

And that it has therefore become necessary that
some alterations -should be.made in the. Establish-
latent of the Co►irts of Law in that part of the United
Kingdom, adhering as much as possible to the forms
and principles of the Laws of Scotlaid, and•utaiu-
taining invariably the true meaning and spirit of 'the
Articles of Union. ,

2. Tharit will greatly conduce to the better Ad-
ministration of Justice in the Court of Session, and
wilt be riff the evident utility of Scotland, that the
said Court instead, of sitting in one collective body
of Fifteen Judges, shall sit in such number Of sepa-,
rate Clwmbers as may be found most convenient ;
and that the Lords sitting in such Chambers, respec-
tively, shall exercise the same fun6tions, and shall
enjoy the same authority and.privileges, as are nOtv
exercised and enjoyed by the whole Lords sitting to-

-
• gether.- • •
3: That in each of the said Chambers one of the.
Judges belonging to such Chambers shall preside,-
such presiding Judge to be appointed by His Majesty

nary Lords of Session, and there decided, may be
removed by reclaiming Petition, or otherwise, into
that Chamber only of which such Lord Ordinary.
„shall be.a Member.

5. That in all Causes, whether originally brought
before the Lord Ordinary, or before the Chambers
as Inner- House Causes, the Defender shall, in his

itliedged in the summons or other writ by which the
Cause is brought into Court. •
6. That if the Defendant shall, in whole or in
part, deny the faas stated by the Pursuer, or shall
in his defence make any averments, in point of fati,
which shall subsecitiently be denied by the Pnrsuer,
the Court or Lord Ordinary respectively, on the re-
quisition of either party, or the Court at their own
discretion, shall order that the issue of fact shall be
tried by a Jury, except in such cases as it shall be
found proper to except from this rule.
7. That when it appears- to the Chamber, or tá
the Lord Ordinary, reasonable that such • issue 'so
dire6ted should be tried in that part of the country
where the evidence can be most easily obtained, it
shall be competent to remit the Cause to the nearest
Circuit, to be, there fried by a Jury.
8. That-whenever, in the inferior 'Courts proofs.
shall have lx.,en allowed, it shall be in the option of
either party to apply to the Court of Session, iii (A-7
der that the issue may be tried. by a Jury, it the
Curt shall-so think fit :. But if neither party apply
for the Trial by Jury, the.CauSe May he decided'by
the inferior Courts, according to the-forms now in
use, and afterwards in review by the Court of Ses-
sion by Jury, or otherwise as the Court shall think
fit.

9. That it shall be competent to parties to com-
plain against verdids of Juries, that the. same were
given contrary to evidence, or by misdiredion of*
Judge sitting as Ordinary, or on the-Circuit, or pre-
siding in the Chambers.
10. That when a party in any Court, the decrees
.of which are subject to be reviewed by the Court of
Session, shall he • dissatisfied with any judgment of
such Court, he shall be at liberty, ihstead of proceed-
ing by the present *mode of Acivocation or Suspen-
sion, to enter an appeal to the Court of Session,' af-
ter the mode and form. by which decrees of inferior
Courts are brought under the review of the Lords of
'Justiciary on the Circuits, with the exception of
such cases as, for the sake of the dispatch of justice
"or otherwise; it may be found necessary to'except,
and fir which cases particular regulations may here-
after be providech
I 1. That when any judgment shall have been
'pronounced in any Chamber of the Court of Session,
It shall be subject to feview in a Chamber of Re-
view, in which none of the Judges shall sit who
belong to that Chathber whose judgment is to be
reviewed ; and that the cause shall, in that stage, be
. concluded by printed_ca.ses, and hearing of Counsel,
