no great credit to the Statute-book. it only con
firmed their loyalty with the sanction of an oath
and the Learned Coansel wished that no other oath
wa: going on Through the country. -
LOrd ELLENBOHUUGH hire stopped the Leatnett
Counsei. There was not only no occasion to decide
that question on the ;present- application ; but it
could not be dofie with propriety. The Magistrates
bad clearly mistaken the decision of the eourr in
ilre King v. the Justices of-Devbighshire; the Court
did nut underst ind the qualifications there talked of
in a copulatite sense ; and it was, 11F:refute,. unne-
cessary to consider .the question further, inasmuch
as tee Magistrates had not denied the applicants to
be pos.essed of ibis character they assumed, but re";
quired the conjunctive one olteacher of a separate
congreg u inn. 'rite Court, therefoic,-thonht" it
proper *Opt the Mandamus should go; and. if the
Magistrates should return the applicants .not to be
persons pr.:tending to baveboly orders (if that should
be judged to be. the meaning \of the .cords "
fending to holy orders") ; or a they should go tar-
' titer, and s that the applicants. had no holy or 7
ders. whatsoever,• the question might ,LIK.I be raised
either on the return iii a motion to quash it, or it
would be open'io the parties to maintain their action
at law for a false return, which thight go through
every C&irt in Westminster Hill. His Lordship
quoted the judgment of Lord Holt in 6-Modern
Reports; and that of Lord Mansfield from 4 Bur-
rowrl.992, in the case of the King v. the Justices
of Derbjshire, (better 'reported :here than in t Sir
Wut. Illaclsslune, 606.) He also ,cited the 52,1
statute from Scubell's Acts, p. Bp, ‘thich said ihat
none should preach but th•ise who had been ordain-
ed, except such as for trial of their gilts might be
appointed by both Houst.:s'oll)zrilahletq, and vho
had skill in the otigin.illauguages, and such•arts and
scieners as were the haridtnaids of religion, as w:.i!
as a general knowledge of divinity. He quoted this
as the opinion of those who managed affairs in the
time of the 'troubles, when literature was supposed
to be in dis-esteem. Rule absolutefor. a Mandamus.

When the Ape//es anti Skytafk went on shore
near Etaples, on the French-coast, Criptain BOXER
blew isp tt e'atter, on a convioion of the impossibi-
lity of getting her off„ and escaprd Nith the crew in
her boats. Captain .I.IoFFNIAN, and about 24 of the
crew'of the f,rwer, from •the
.itasufficienq of her
IpOats- to bring off the whole crew, remained .an
bord• w hilt! the remainder of the crew escaped.—
The Captain and those who were-with him, were
Made pri.;onertf,' their strandedyesSel being within
half mu.sketshot of the beach, and exposed to the
fire of a two,gun battery of 'thirty•six-ponuders,
and - some pieces of , light artillery. The French
sent a vast number of tnen on, board, who succeed-
ed in getting the. Apelles afloai ; but whilst they
were towing her iu'o Etaples, 'she was re-taken by
the boats of, the Binaitip, Bermuda, Castilian, and
Pilipph, and brought to Deaf dismasted, as mention-.
ed in our paper ,yesterday. It. is a gratifying
proof of -the transCendadt superiority of our brave
tars, tnat so far from being able to stir out of their
ports, the enemy are unab!e even to protea their
captures along their own shdres. • .
