" On the 25th, the day on which the first action
took place, Lord WELLINt:n'ON absent at St.
Sebastian's. It Was in the night of that day that
be was informed of SouLT's attack. The 26th,
and part of the 27th, were spent by us in the re-
treat' front Zubiri to the neighbourhood of Pam -
peltina, the former position being judged by Ge-
nerals COLE and, PloTorr to be untenable ; and
Lord ‘VELL,EstGTON having in the mean,timewhile
come up, joined, on the 27tb,' the 3d and 4th di.7
vkions at Sciransen,,just as they Were taking their
new positions. These divisions were attacked
soon after they had occupied their ground. In the
quarter where they Were situated, Was that hill
'frotewhence the Portuguese and Spaniards first
repelled the enemy. Lord • NVE,LatiTOTON being
then luckily on the spot, and seeing the 'im-
portance of this hill to the success of the princi-.
pal operations, instantly sent (and' this was his
Lordship's first personal, rant in the battle) such au
accession of. force to the support of the Portuguese
and Spaniards, that the enemy were never able to,
thrive theta from their desirable eminence, though
they made repeated efforts dining ?be rent of the
engagement on that day, as well as. on the 28th.
It may be worth the'while to comikteniorate•more
particularly, what force it was that repelled and
kept off the enemy from so impartant ii post.' It
was briefly,, then, oneirattolion of the 4tly Portu-
guese regiment, and the single Spanish regiment
of Traeld, that sustained and frustrated first
assault; and it was these, supported by another
Spanfsh regiment only, named El Principe, and
the 40th .British regiment, that continued to keep
possessiOni of the hill. Peaceful rest attend the

LA %V INTELLIGENCE

COURT OF CHANCERY, Auo.'lB.

Ex-parse CA nriom,, in the mattor of LATHAM,
Mr. LEACH Sftill it woald he in tire recollection
of the Court, that a considerable dispute had ex-
isted as to whether Mr. De Taott was entitled to
a large quantity of rum, geneVa , wine, anti bills of
exchange, for which orders had been delivered to
Mr. Dc ,T,astet by Parry. (the partner of Latharu),
after he had committed a felbny, and the day be-
fore he absconded. Mr. Carroll', the present pe-
thinner, had been appointed •assignee in order to
contest this question with Mr.DeTastet. Mr. Carroll
had a conversation with Mr. De Tastet as to
those goods, and it was agreed that the rum,
which was the principal article, should be sold,
, and that the net proceeds sbotrld be paid into it
bank in the joint names of Mr. Carrol and Mr. Dc
Tastet, and Mr. Gorst was agreed upon as a pro
per person to sell the rums. But Mr. Carroll un-
derstanding, that notwithstanding that agreement,
Mr. De Tastet (Hd intend to sell the property, and
to make use of the proceeds for his own private
purposes, thought it right to present this pe-
tition, praying, that ;ffir the protection of the
creditors, the goods might be sold, and the
proceeds paid into the Court. Since the pe-
tition, an action of trover had been brought, and
a verdict had been given' for Mr. Dc Tastet as to,
the rum ; but against him as to the genera,
- brandy, wine, and hills of exchange. The Wilda-
, srit of Mr. Dawes, the solicitor, stated, that Mr.
Carroll was dissatisfied with the verdict, and
thought, that it ought to have been 'against Mr.
De Tastet for the ruin, as well as the other pro--
petty; ,and had directed the deponent, and the
deponent intended, to Move for a new trial,
within the first four days of the next term. This
being the case, Mr. Leach said, the necessity of
protecting the property still continued. If Mr.
De Tastet was satisfied with the verdict, he could
have no objection to hand over, for the benefit of
the creditors at large, the goods for which the
verdict was against hint ; and if be were dissa-
tisfied, and intended to more foe a new trial, it
was for the interest of all parties that the goods
511001(11re in the mean time sold, and the money
paid into Court. His client was very well satisfied
that Mr. Gorst, who had been named by Mr. ,De
Tastet, should have the sale.
Sir S. Romit.t.v and Mr.!'llem. 9.41, Mr. De
Tastet had on objection to the sale, but did not
wish the goods to be sold as.by an officer of the
Court, who most' sell them for what they would
bring. They also said it was rather strange to
tisk Mr. De Tastet to give up those goods for
which he had a verdict.
The LORD CHANCELLoa asked, if Ifr. De Tastet
was satisfied with the verdict, and allowed him-
self to he hound by it.
Mr. BELL said, he was much dissatisfied with
the verdie;.
The LORD CHANCELLOR then declared; that Rs
the trial satisfied 'neither party, k was the same
as lino trial had taken place.
It was finally agreed that Mr. Gout should be
authorised to dispose of the goods as he should
think prudent, and to pay the proceeds into
Court.

iX-PAItTE COMMISSIONERS OF EXC,IIEGUER
IN THE MATTER OFVILealt• „ , • :,

Thicwas a petition of the Commissioners ap-
pointed to manage the five millions of gxcilequef
Bills, granted as a loan to different merehants,
praying that the assignees of Wilcox might be
ordered to give theth a preference over all other
creditors as to 833/. 6s. 6d. the balance of 501)0/.
lent to the bankrupt. The petition also prayed,
that Mr. Ainsworth, who had been surety for
Wilcox, and had paid 8:33/. 6s, Bd. on his ac-,
count, might alsoltave the same preference given
to bin,.
The 14081) CHANCELLOE said, there was no'
doubt, but that by the Act of Parliament, the
petilioners were entitled to the preference prayed.
