sion forbaktipg the Assies this morning ; apd,

CIVIL SIDE:
FREYER V. NEWBOLD

This was an a6tion for slander between. two men
in business: the Plaintiff d tobaCconist, in' Pail
Mall,,and the Defendant, zt tradesman in Brihton.
They bad a dispute at the latter place, Summer,
when the Defendant, to indOce a.Magistrate to bind
the Plaintiff to keep the Peace, nsed the followitig
words : " He is a dangerous man, and I know ,that
he dreW a.knife up6n Mr, Hill, in Middle-street."
This was proVed•not true, and to have been .ut-
tered in• the violence of passion, and not with any
.•
malicious intent.

,The Jury found for the Plaintiff—Damages, 14.

' ADMIRAL VILLEAumE2.—The circuinstru:4x.
Admiral VILLEAumEz,. in the Poudroyant Frenth
Man of War, of ,84' guns, being driven under the
batteries at the entrance of the Havannah, on the
15th of September last, by the gallant cq,t. LYDIAR D,
in the Anson frig4te, is fresh in the, recollection of
liscoUntrymen,•and will ever redound to the honour
of that Officer. The Trend) Admiral's account of
this affitir will not only she what little reliance
ought to be placed in French reports in genera!, but
also in what a miserable state,. they are obliged to
send their squadrons to sea: From the ch.annet
through which we receive the followinm account, we
are confident of its authenticity. •
.Extraet of-an intercepted letterirom the French.
Adnairal VlLL,Au*gz, to the French Minister of
Marine • .

" About 2 leagues from the entrance of the Ha-
vannah, when arrived thus far, an English small di-
vision of men of war.shewed a .disposition to attack
my ship. They were led by a large frigate; but in
the course of half an hour, after firing 50 shot at
them, they retreated to repair damages. Could I
have tacked' or veered, or been.able to make sail, the
English Captain would, by a prompt surrender,
haVe.paia the forfeit of his imprudent hardilhiOd;
The +improvident condition of,' my ship, and
particularly the bad quality of my stores, determined
me to hasten my return to France, and not to wait
till 0610ber ; -but the nUmerous Squadrons of the
Enemy cruiziog: in these Seas, particularly betore
our principal Ports, induced, me. to
,be careful in
my movements when I arrived first in the West
Indies.

" I needed not; your Excellency, this late hard
trial to convince me Of the wretched- equipment
bestowed updn my Squadron at ‘Brest ; for scarcely
hadlis Imperial Majesty's Ships under my com-
mand put to sea, than this Ship: began to leak, and
prove unfit for service, Most painful -is it to me
to repreSent to you, Sir, the shameful state in which
she was sent to sea.,"

CORN-EXCHANGE, MARCH 18.—The arrivals of
Whtat to-day are few, but tolerable quantities re-
main, chiefly of second and inferior qualities, Sale',
of which are very dull, at a small- declension. in
price; of Barley there are scarce any fresh ar-
rivals, which trade is full as dear, and appears a
rising article ; good Malt is also full as high ; in the
prices of Pease ;aid Beaus, of each kind, but iiitie-
variation ; there are very few Oats arrived, 'and the
best samples are rather dealer ; the prices 'of Flour
remain without alteration; fine Ametican 4-Ss. to
60s. per barrel.
