MILAN, JUNE 25.

AMONG the stipulations of the Treaty Of Amiens,
those concerning Mafia seem to be on the point of
beirg carried into execution. They write frcm
Naples, that the ibe:. Sicilian Troops, to whose
prote(!tion the residence of the Order of St. John of
Jerusalem is to be provisionally confided for one
yAr, are ready to embark for that Island. The
Russian Troops who have long been in garrison at
Naples; and who were to re-establish tranquillity
in the lonian Republic, or that of the Seven Islands,
have not yet sailed. One Of ti►ese Islands, however,
Cefa/onia, had nearly been exposed to a new Revo-
,lution, by a Conspiracy, which was to have been
carried into eft on Holy Thursday (April Is),
but which was happily discovered and prevented.

ANTWERP, JULY 15.

THE Omiiow, a small Brig, is just arrived in our
port from Newcastle, laden with Coals, being the
first arrival of this kind since Government grantzd
their importation:

We have the most flattering intelligence from our
Deputies in Paris, respeaing our Port : they have
been graciously received by the FIRST CONSUL, and
promised every thing they could desires that may
tend to the prosperity of this Port. Nay, he even de-
clared, at the Conference held with them, that it was
his intention to extend all the privileges and aid to
Antweq, of which it was susceptible,' for' bringing
it to its ancient splendour. We therefore expect
the like privileges which have been just granted to
Marseilles.

The Deputies from Havre, wbo are labouring
with might and main
,to disappoint our aspiring
hope, had the mortification of getting a refusal of
their Petition ; they having had an audience about
the same time.

Yesterday about twelve o'clock, a fire broke
out in the house of the Right Hon. T. ST EE L E., in
Mansfield—street., Portland-place. The Laundry
and Stables were completely burnt to the ground,
and the house is considerably damaged.
On Sunday last died, Admiral DUMAR RSQ, of Pil-
ham Place, Hants, aged 73.

Died, on-Monday the tzth inst. •in New King.
street, Bath, Mrs. Wootmousg.

A um of the name of Thomas frv;tri, of Lang.
ham, near Carlisle, has been lately in Birmingham,
and succeeded in uttering' several drafts, with. the
forged acceptances of MASTERMAN and Co. MOF-
FAT and Co. and `'RIGHT and 'Co. of London.
He went from 'thence on Saturday, the• ioth in-
stant, and proceeded to Bridgnorth, Ludlow, and
Bishop's Castle, passing drafts at each place. Mr.
B. WILLIAMS, of Birmingham, who IW cashed
him a draft of tool. immediately on discovery of
the forgery set Out, accompanied by Mr. T. EvANs,
in pursuit of him, and overtook him at Bishop's
Castle, where they found him in bed ; and re-
covered from him the amount of. the draft Mr.
WILLIAMS had cashed.. The man still remains at
large, and, in. all prObability continues to prosecute
his depredations on 'the Public.

SITTINGS BEVORE LORD ELLENISOROUGH AND A SPECIAL
JOE?, IN GUILDHALL, LONDON.

EARLY in the day his Lordship .observed, that
at all events a great arrear of business would neces..
sarily remain, and as it was settled that the Sit-
tings should be resumed in a:lobcr, the better way
would he, not to protrad the Sittings much longei,
but to afford Gentlemen an opportunity of going
upon their Circuits, for which reason, he should
not sit here after Saturday; but it was to be un-
derstood, that the Sittings should commence again
in Caober, in time to go through all the remaining
causes, so that there should be no more remanent,
and so that the Parties might have judgment at
the same season as if their causes were tried now,
without any adjournment in the Sittings.

The Gentlemen of the Bar thanked his Lord-
ship kindly for this accommodating arrangement.

BLAKE V. THE GOVERNOR AND COMPANY OF
THE RANK OF ENGLAND.
This was an action to recover the sum of toool.,
being the value of a Bank-note which the -Plaintiff
•became the holder of for a valuable consideration
in the way of his trade, which is that of a Jeweller,
in Leicester-Fields, and which was paid to him by
a person of the name of Dallone, or Dallon, as he
affeCted to call himself, and who had written up to
the Plaintiff, in April last, that' an uncle of his
was about to advance him money to set him up in
the business of a .Gold and Silversmith, at Bath,
where he resided, and who ordered a great number
of articles of the Plaintiff in the way of his trade,
whichorder the Plaintiffexecuted in part, nut having
time-to execute the remainder. Ibis was first ordered
on the sill of April.—On the tath Dallone came
to Town far the goods, and on the zad he came to
pay for them, and they were packed up for him.
It was agreed, before hand, that nothing was to be
received but cash or Bank-paper for .these goods;
and upon which, Dallone said, as he was going to
pay for these goods, " I must trouble.you with a
Bid," upon which the Plaintiff said, he would take
no paper but Bank-paper, on which Dallone
and said, " I did not mean to offer you any other,"
and then produced the Bank-note in question, which
was for wool. and dated in the year 1793., and
after looking at it for to while, and after taking the
opinion of his shopman upon it, who observed, that
as it was highly improbable that a note of this
size was forged, thought it was perfeelly safe to
take it, and the Defendant took it
.and gave in
exchange for it 4001. and upwards in other notes,
and a ehedc of 751. upon Messrs. Drummonds the
Bankers ; upon which Rd/one went away and was
heard of no more, in a coach, the number of.which
was One.—He said he lodged at the Saracen's
Head. The following day the Plaintiff sent this
note of toool. to the Bank for payment, but pay-
ment of this note had been long ago stopt at the.
Bank under an indemnity to the. Bank from those to
whoni it really belonged) it having been charged to.
have been secreted. from his Creditors by one No_
land a Soap-boiler, who became a bankrupt in the
year 1793, and who pretended to
.have been over-.
turned in the Chester coach, and to have lost his
pocket-book containing this very note, and several
others to the amount of about 30001. and on which
Noland was apprehended, examined before the
Commissioners, and committed for not answering
to their satisfaCtion. Upon which the Plaintiff
waited on- the Gentlemen of the Bank; and had
several interviews and long conversations with
Mr. KAY the Solicitor for the Bank, the result of
which was, that the Gentleman who had indemni-
fied the Bank, who had already paid the money
upon this note, resolved on putting the Plaintiff to
the proof, how and under what circumstances he
received this note, contending, that he had con-
duCted himself in this matter in a way from which
it was fair to infer that he .reasonably must have
been satisfied at the time he took this note that it
was stolen.
The trial lasted the whole day, from about ten
in the morning until half after five o'clock in the
afternoon) in the course of which a zreat many
extraordinary things occurred, which render the
case extremely interesting, and the detail of which
we shall enter into the first opportunity, it being
a case of vast importance to the Public, but it
would be only.misleading our Readers, as well as
giving just reason for complaint to the Parties, to
endeavour to biing, within a short compass, a re-
port of this most remarkable case. We shall take
the first opportunity we may have to detail the
substance of it) that being at prevent impossible,
it being a case full of minute circumstances, each
weighing something and ematributing to make up
the whole of the complexion, and consequently
could nut, with propriety, be omitted in any thing
deserving the name of an account of it.
Mr-. PARK 'having conduEled the cause on the
parr of the Plaintiff, and Mr. ERSKINE for the
Defendant, with their usual professional zeal and
ability, and my Lord CHIEF jttSTict having
summed up the whole master with perfed fairness,
and having made many excellent observations on
the particular parts of the evidence, left the whole
to the Jury, who, in a few minutes, found a ver-

This was an Ataion brought against the Defend-
ant to recover the sum of tool. paid to him under
the following circumstances
It appeared that the Defend-ant, who was stated
by Mr. Serjeant BAILEY, Counsel for the Plaintiff,
to be a Barrister in Norfolk, who was sometimes to
.be found at hide-and-seek, and sometimes in the
Castle of Norwich, bad issued proposals in the
year 1799 for establishing :a Tontine, consisting of
250 Subscribers at tool. each; the whole sum sub-
scribed, with all accruing profit, to be divided
amongst the surviving Subscribers on the. first of
January, 1808, and to be secured in the mean time
on Frt:chold -E4tateS, cectifiet.l by a SUCYCX.QT Lo be of

tions would be received by several retable
Banking-houses in London, and by the Set:tm:tyr in
Norfalk-streeti in the Su-and, LL, latter (..)f whom
was the Defendant himself.

The Plaintiff, allured by these pinposalsi subStrib.
ed tool. in the name of infant, and
waited patic:-Itly for a considerable tines., for the
completion of the plan held forth by the Defendant,
by securing the promised, I.F.tates. At leng:h the
Plaintiff wrote to the Defendant on the sUbjcet, and
received for answer, that the Tontine was not yet
full. He wrote again and again, and received the
same answer. It was at length clearly discovered
that the Defendant had been endeavouring- to raise
Money upon Promises, which were never intended
to be fulfilled, nor had he the means of fuliiiling
them.

This anion was brought to recover this sum so
paid, as money had and received bythie Lefendant
for the use of the Plaintif

The Receipt given by the D fendant for the tool.
paid to' him by the Plaintiff being admitted and
read, which referred to the printed proposals,
Mr. Serjeant WILLiAms wok an objeffluu, that
these proposals, which must be considered in the
nature of an agreement, as being r!ferred to in the
Receipt, were not stamps, and therefore could not be
read in evidence.

This objetffion was, howet/er, over-ruled by Mr.
Justice CiIiINIBILB, and the Proposals were read, a
were several letters from the D4endant to the
Plaintiff, but the Delenl-Int'S Counsel 'decli.led pro-
dUcing the Letters from the Plaintiff to the Defend—
ant, nbr did they attempt to show that any step baJ
t-,een taken to settle any Landed Property as a se-
curity for the Tontine: both which they had notice
to do.

Persons from the different houses, Where it wig
stated at the bottom of the Proposals that Subscrip-
tions would be received, were called, who provdd
that no Subscriptions whatever had been received
by them on account of such Tontine.

It being a very clear case, the Defendant's Coun.
sel declined making any defence ; and the Jury
found a Verditl for the Plaintiff for the Sum of
tool. with three years' Interest, making the Sum

DEER, DUCKS, AND CRANES.

LOUP BROOKS.

The Plaintiff was originally from Africa, and of R .
black colour, but. passing from that quart,..r of the
Globe to America, he there pursued tile bent of that
disposition, his name imported, and gaincd his
livelihood by traversing the woods and wilds of that
immense Continent, catching deer, kids, ducks,
cranes, or any other prey that fell in .his..way.—
It happened.lthat in the course of his predatory
wanderings he caught a deer of .most untpmmon
form and nature--wiz was unlike any other
.of the
known species of that animal; it was in short a non-
descript.' Soon after, he surprized a certain convo.
cation of ducks, and made several. of them captives ;
these also differed froth the ordinary race of ducks. .
He next had the good fortune to seize a crane by
the leg before it had time to spread its wings--
This he feasted upon,4%but preserved its feathers,
which were of great value. He then embarked
with his freight on board a vessel bound fOr Eng-
land, which he knew was the best market for all
manner of exotic rarities. Scarce was the vessel
moored in the river Thames, when tidings reached
the Defendant of its arrival. The Defendant is the
proprietor of an extensive Menagerie, at the top of
the Haymarket. Anticipating Mr. Pidcock, he
hastened on board the ship, and barained with
the Plaintiff for the deer, the ducks. • and the
crane's feathers : for the latter he agreed to allow
at the rate of two guineas and an half per ounce ; for
the ducks he paid ready money, and the deer he
took to his Menagerie for sale. He sagaciously re-
marked to the Plaintiff, that as the deer was a male,
it 'Could not propagate any of its kind without a
female, and consequently that its value was infinite-
ly below what it would have been, had it been ac-
companied by a female deer. Unfortunately soon
after it was in 'his possession, it died, and he re-
fused to make the Plaintiff any recompense for it.
The Plaintiff therefore brought this action to reco-
ver the value of the deer, and the sum due to him
for the feathers, which he alledged weighed four
ounces.

The Witness called on•the part of .the Plaintiff;
was a waterman of the name of Jones, who was pre-
sent at the contraft ; he proved the bsrgain as to
the feathers, but confirmed the defence as to the
deer, that it was delivered on sale only, and not
absolutely sold to the Plaintiff. T►e 'Mendota
insisted that his having paid for the ducks at the
time he bought them, was presumptive evidence of
his having also 'paid
.for the feathers, but as he had
no receipt to produce, and as the witness positively
stated they were not paidfor when they were taken
away by the Defendant, 'the Jury gave a verdia for
the Plaintiff, with so Guineas damages,
