KINGSTON, JAN.-g.
In the Surrey Assize Court, yesterday: the lin-
,
.portant and long depending cause of Messrs. C.anp:
bell and Whittle, of this city, v. Messrs. John
wan "and Sons, of London, came to he tried by a
Special Jury. The attion was brought to ncover
-the value of 2,100 chests of Havannah sugar, cob;
signed ~by the former to the latter in July )7th,,
which were destroyed by fire in February following,f.
At the trial it was fully proved by, the evidence of
many respe&able and experienced merchants of 114
place, and by the depositions (which were read in.
Court).of several eminent Merchants in London; ta'
be the practice and usage of Agents to whom' West's
India produce is consigned, and who take upon'
themselves to delay the sale thereof, without or-
ders, to insure, against fire,
.althongh they inly
not have received orders to thal .effed.• Sevc-1211'
cases were adduced, where pi operty, en
signed, lad been destroyed by tire, and .11)(:"
value recovered by the Owner from his Agent.
Jo this case it appears that Messrs. Kirwan tin(
Sons took upon 'themselves to keep the property (13
hand upwards of six mouths, without any orders lot
so doing during which period, the
.price of sugar'
fell upwards of 20s. per cwt. and that-they insured'
these goods against tire, and charged Messrs. CarlV
bell and Co. with the premium, though then under,
no advance whatever; that they renewed the gild
insurance, andsharged the premium, in likerrniner, •
to Messrs. Campbell and Co. ;, but the last insurance
expired some days rirevious.to the fire taking place,
The Jury returned a verdict in fivour of siSlcssni.

but the circumstance is of less importance than was
at first supposed, The Prince is Do PRntio, son,
of DON GABatEL, brother of the King of Spain, and
a Portuguese Princess, the issue of a branch of the
'loyal House. The two parents of flop PLuito died
suddenly, and the Prince, though an infant of Spain,
was sent to Lisbowa long time ago, brought up as 'a
Member of the House of BRAGANZA, and destined,

HARRY, DUKES, AND CO. V. 114 MILTON.

This was an action brought by Ship agents and
Merchants at Gosport, against the Maskr of the
Ship dllion, to recover a small sum of money ; and
Mr. Pants .stated the case to be of the utmost im-
portance to the commercial world. The Defend-
ant's Ship was in danger of being wrecked at Stoke's
Bay, about a mile and a half front Gosport ; when
'the Plaintiffs, at the request of the Captain, lent
their assistance, or were ready to lend it, while the
stoi in raged and the Ship was about to sinks ; but
there cattle a sudden calm, and the Captain did not
want any assistance.
It appeared in • evidence, that the Plaintiffs came
to reliee the 'Ship 'in its distress but when the
Captain found they were not his own Agents, he
did not employ them; they were employed by
others, and ;paid for their trouble. '

SHEPHERD V. SOWMAN.

This was_ an atilion to recover of the Defendant
5001. under the following circumstances. The
Plaintiffis x.tvidow, and the early friend of the De-
fendant', wife. On the latter's marriage, she be-
came acquaiMed with her husband, and an intimacy
of great friendship succeeded. The defendant is a
Stock Broker, and persuaded the Plaintiff to put
20001. she possessed, in the funds, observing that it
would greatly assist him in his business, for if a
Broker appeared to be doing a good deal of business,
he would soon do so in reality. He added, that he
would only charge her i -i6th per cent. commission
for his trouble. The Plaintiff consented, and, after
various speculations, called upon the Plaintiff, and
asked her if he should buy a share of the Omnium
for her. The Plaintiff replied, that she knew
.no-
thing about oa3nium, but as the Defendant possessed
her confidence, she said he Might ad as he liked, as
long as tie had, her interest at heart.. The specula.-
tion in the Omnium. was not successful, and the
Plaintiff was minus tool by the bargain. The De-
fendant, however, in order to qualify this
chance, offered to throw her in all the commission
he was entitled to for transfers and charges previous-
ly made. Soon after this, the.Planitiff desired the
Defendant to lay out 5001, in the per cents. but
instead of diaing so, he speculated in the City Lot-
tery, and bought Tickets, instead of b per Cent.
Stock. The failure of Walsh and Nesbitt taking
place soon after, and the 'Piaintiff pressing-the De-
fendant for her stock receipts, be confessed the mis-
applieation.of 5001. and said that he was a 'ruined
man, in consequence of the failure of the house in.
question. this the Plaintiff brought her adion
for the 5001. and the questioti was, whether, under
all the circumstances, she was entitled to tee. vor.—
No defence was made to tie adieu, though the De
fetidanes commission was set up in reduction of toe
demand. This was allowed to the extent of 1001.
and the Plaintiff recovered a verdid for 4001.

in our ports, unsuspicious of any boStite 'designs on
our part, as well as of ships brought in pursuant to the
Orders. iit Council, • wished 'to be informed by his
Majesty.'s Government hpw then proceeds arising
iron these captures, which he Was informed amount-
rd to two millions, were to be applied ; and how Mi-
nisters intended to cotidtki themselves towards the
owners of those ships,whose cargoes were the property
of persons who were at the time in habits of friendly
and cow meicial intercourse with this Country ?
c,inceiving the detention of such ships, under such
circonistatices, was on out part a violation of every
existing treaty with Denmark, he was compelled to
consider the aggression as originating with this Coun-
tiy lie was further anv.ions to be informed by
his Majesty's Ministers,'whether it was their inten-
tion to treat the crews of those ships as prisoners of
war ?

Lard H4U'KESLWIIY observed, in reply, that
-the cargoes ►►nd owners of the Danish ships.were to
be treated in the same manner as those of other na-
tions placed in similar circu►nstannces. With rzspe&'
to t►►e crews he.. Was ready to say, that' they were
considered as. prisoners of war. A cartel, had indeed
been proposed by. his Majesty's Government, which,
however, had not been acceded to. '

Lord StivFoLtc could not repress the ex presSion 'of
some alarm at the immense amount of captures made
from the Panes. ' It was watural for him to inquire
how the sum cif 2,000,0001. was to be applied, or
that the public should know in what manner it had
been disposed of.
Lord HAWIWBUHY assured the noble Earl the
amount of these captu re; had been greatly exaggerat-
ed.; but with regard to every other view to be taken
of these proceedings, that would furnish matter of
future

Lord SIDDIOUTki h►►d no intention to exaggerate
when be stated the amount. of these proceeds at
two millions ; he spoke from repott ; but whatever'
might be the real amount, the pr►nciple iu his mind
was the same.

MY LORDS, AND Slit,
Intelligence has been received by his Majesty's
its Misters of an intention on the part of France im-
mediately to invade the Kingdom of Portugal, arid
the French Government has, by its own declarations,
,tat 'little or no room to doubt the truth of that intelli-
lence; It has even been f'or'mally announced by that
Governinent to his Majesty's Ambassador at Paris,
t tat an army, said.to be composed of 30,000 men, is
at:Molly assembled at Bayonne for that purpose, and
that the °hie& of this flvasien is nothing less than that
of dethroning the present Royal Family, and desiroy-
ing the very existence of the Portuguese Monarchy,
the Provinces of which are to be partititined out, one
port to Spain, and the other part, with the town and
port of Lisbon, to be given as a separate dominion
to the Prince of Peace, or to the Queen of Etru-
ria.—ln that-case hiSl Majesty has thought it right to
dirca that the force why embarked, consisting of
the numbers stated in the margin, should be sent
forthwith to the River Tagus,
,there to be met by
a competent naval force which has been in like
manner directed, to repair to that. station. And
his Majesty has thought fit to give direCtions that
the laud force appropriated to this service Should
receive successive augmentations as fast as the
means of transport can ,be provided.-4 addition
to the command of the naval and military tbrces
which he has: intrusted respeCtively to the Earl St:
Nincenrand to Lieutenanr-General Sirucoe, his Ma-
jeity has been pleased to direa that full powers
should be granted to them, conjointly with the Earl
of Rosslyn, to negociate with the, Court of. Lisbon
on all matters that may concern the joint interest of
dig two Courts in the preseot conjunaure:of of
shies; I am, 'therefore, in this dispatch,. to eXplain
the principles 'on which salt negociation
,is to be
cOnduacd.
The objea most desirable, if it should be Rossi
ble to be obtained, would be, to arrange sufficient
effectual measures by' concert between the two
Courts for the complete defence of Portugal against
the threatened invasion of Portugal ; an .Objea which
it ought not to be -diffienit for Portugal to
.provide
far, if the invading force should not exceed the
numbers stated by the French GoVernment. This
.is therefore the first point which is to be proposed
to the COWL of Lisbon ; '-and if that Court, either
singly
.by its own resources, or by such
.co-operation
as it may be able to obtain from Spain; where it is
probable the plans of France will create much more
alarm than pleasure,' should be willing seriously to
engage in vigorous :aid effeaive measures of defence,
'tree King'wdl approve yotir eXpressing his Majesty's
disposition to support them to the full extent of such
Means as his Majesty 'may be able to apply, to this

raise a fund, and formed a .Cdnunittee, which it
Was intended to prosecute for -a conspracy.' He
called a number of Masters and Manufaaturers,, who,

BATH, OCT. 13.

This beautiful City was never so full at so early
a part of the year as at present. It is difficult to
procure lodgings ; and there is every reason to ex-
pe& a most brilliant season.
The alterations and improvements have been so
many and rapid, that an absentee of five years might
be at a loss to find his way. Union-street and New
Bond-street afford a spacious communication from
the Upper to the Lower Town, and to Great
Pulteney-street. MEYLER'S Library, adjoining and
communicating with the Great Pump-Room, is the
fashionable lounge.
The Theatre commenced its operations on Satur-
day last, and was well attended. Mr. YOUNG dis-
played first-rate talents in Zanga ; the sublimity and
grandeur of the concluding scene could scarcely be
surpassed. The Leonora of Miss JAMESON was
marked .by delicacy, feeling, and pathos. The dif-
ferent Performers were warmly greeted on their ap-
pearance.

The present Establishment of the Royal Naval
Hospital at Plymouth has been settled as follows, by
an order of the Right Hon. the Privy Council, at the
recommendation of the Right Hon. Lords Commi;-
sioners of the Admiralty : the Warrant was sent down
last week :

To Me Divan of Cairo.

People of Egypt ! you will be'told that I come to
destroy your Religion! Do not believe it, but answer,
that I come to restore your rights, to punish usurpers,
and that infinitely more than the Manaelukes I re-
spect God, his Prophet, and the Koran !
Tell the People we are true Musselmen : is it not
we who have destroyed the Pope ?
Is it not we who have destroyed the Knights of
Malta, because, those enthusiasts believed that God
had declared war against, the Mussel men ?
.Qn board this Fleet are Russians, who abhor those
who believe in the unity of God, becauSe, • according,
to their fiaion, the Deity consists of a Trinity.
But they shall soon see, that it is not the umbel- of
Gods which constitutes their strength.
What the believers in the Trinity have never been
enabled to effect, has been accomplished by us, who
believe that there is only one directing Power over
nature and the universe !

) The Mnsselman who embarks on board a vessel,
sanaioned by the Cross, is even worse than an in-
fidel !

I hope that the period may soon arrive, when I
shall be able to re-unite all men of wisdom and intel-
ligence,
.and to estiblish,an uniformity of conduti,
founded upon the principles of the Alcoran, which
alone have any-conneaion with truth, and can pro-
cure the happiness. of. Mankind !
• The Cheiks, like the Priets, inculcated fanaticism,
but are not fanatics-themselves !

To the above, may be added,
That God, who sooner or latter punishes Tyrants,
is nuw reversing the tide of thy success !—AMEN.
