THE ORATORIOS.

Covent-Garden.
THE celebrated Requiem, by MOZART, Was
repeated last night at this Theatre, and was high.
ly applauded. This fine composition, constituted
the first parr. The second and third parts con.
sisted of selea Ayorks of HANDEL. The whole
was performed with correaness and animation.
INCLEDON'S fine voice appears tolnuch greater
advantage in Sacred Music than heretofore. His
" Scund ah alarm," was yery impressive. Miss
TYRE R is a great acquisition.

Hay-Market.,
The Oratorio' of Redemption, seletted by Dr.
ARNOLD from the best of HArton., attra(ted
very numerous Audience to this place last. night.
MARA sung with her dsuai excellence, particu..
lady " Lad; remember David." Mrs. Mous-
TAtzes " He was eyes unto. the blind" received
much applause. WE LSH, VA.VOZIANI Miss MAR-
TYR, &c. severally contributed very successfully
to.the- entertainment of the evening.
"God Save the King," was given,• with
additional stanzas. Considering the solemn ten..
dencyofthe composition; at the present rnorhent,
we. Wish MARA had not given so much flourish
to this loyal strain; fur, howevor well het- graces
were executed, they were certainly unapproptiate.
This piece Was repeated, in conformity to the
fervent demand of the audience.

'nits was an Aetion for Money had and re.
ceived by the Defendant for the Pleintiff's use:
Mr. ERSRINE stated, that, this was an Action
brought by the Noble Earl, the Plaintiff; against
the Defendant; who was Prize Agent,. for 'Money
which the Defendant had received as such Agent,.
for the Plaintiff's use. It was true, thaepert of
the sum of Money here in dispute, Was claimed by
several others; Lord Nelson; and 'other gallant
Admirals, who contended that they ought to re-
ceive some of it. Lord Keith Was also supposed
to be intitled to a part ; but there was one-gene-
ral observation to be made, that might, . perhaps;
remove some difficulty from the minds of others,
besides the Parties in this Cduse, which was,
this—lf the Noble Plaintiff, in this Anion, ob-
tained the Verdiel of the, Jury,' that would not -
preclude any of the.NOble Persons,'who now con-
ceived themselves entitled to this anoney, or any
part of it, froet asserting that right afterwards in
a Court of justice. The circumstances of the
case were shortly these : lii U: tuber 17953 Earl
St. Vincent was appointed ComMander in Chief
of His Majesty's Fleet_ in the Mecliterranem.
While they were employed on rilat station, the
Commander gave orders to Captain Dighy to
cruize on the North-West -Coast of-Spam ; and
during the time he was so, and cruizing under
such orders, he made a capture of two Spanish
Ships, El Thetis and Santa Brigida, which were
libelled in the Court of Admiralty, and con..
damned as Prizes. Now, upon the general Law
of this Realni, all Prizes belonged to the King in
right of the Crown ; but in consequence of vari-
ous Ads of Parliament, made for the encourage-
ment of the Officers and Men in His Majesty's
Naval Service, the Crown had been made to di-1
vest itself of that general Right, and of-regulat-
ting the Distribution of Prize-money. And in
the beginning of every war; there were Procla,
mations issued abridging. still further the Right
of the Crown to Prizes, and .fur the further En.
couragement of His Majesty's -Naval Service,
and regulating the Distribution 'of Price-money,
in manner therein mentioned. Earl St.. Vincent
obtained leave to come home ; but while he did
so, he continued to be the Commander in Chief
upon that Station, and this Capture was made
while he continued as such Commander, and, . there.
fore, there cottid he no doubt of his right to tht
share he claimed of this Plize-moncy.' -
The.ATTORNEY GENERAL was of 'Counsel-to
take care of. the interest of Lord Nelson, and
served, that there would be no difficulty in this
matter, if the Parties would e:ome'to proper ad-
missions, &c.

Mr. ERSKINE observed, that all these Officers
were dear to their Country, and friends to each
other, and, he hoped, there would not be any
difficulty in the final adjustment of the whole of
this business; in the mean time, when the case
was proved, that these Ships were taken 4y the
force which was under the command of Lord St.
Vincent, he was intitled to a Verdia for the sum
claimed.

Captain Digby proved, that he acted under
the orders of the Plaintiff, who was the Com.
mander in ChicT when he took these Prizes off the
Coast of Spain, and that the. Noble Earl was the
Commander in Chief on that Station, until the
Captain came to England.

Lord KENYON observed, that this case came
upon him unawares, and. that if he had received
previous intimation of the nature of it, he would
have looked into the Mls of Parliament and the
Proclamations, which he had not had an oppor-
tunity of doing.
Verdia for the Plaintiff for his Share of the
Prize-money, being 96711. Bs.
