TXTtt.ACT Of A LETTER FROM GENERAL LE-
CLERC, DATED ST. DOMINGO, lITEi JUNE, TO
THE MINISTER OF MARINE.

" e:TIgEN MINISTER,
" informed you by one of my, last Dispatches, of the
Pardon which I was disposed to grant to General Toys.
INT. This ambitious man has not ceased to conspire
secretly since the moment I pardoned him. He only sur-
rendered because Generals CNIRISTOPHE and Dxsseki, txxs
saw that he had deceived them, and refused to carry on the
War any-longer; but seeing that he was abandoned by them,
he endeavoured to organize an insurreaion among the Culti-
vators, and to make them rise en name. The information I re-
ceived from all the Generals, even fromGcheral DESSALINzs,
of his eonduci since his surrender, left me no doubt upon
the subject. I intercepted the Letters he had written to a Mari
of the name of Fo tvr A IN E, who was his Agent at the Cape.
These Letters prove beyond a doubt, that he was conspiring
to regain his former influence in the Colony. He placed con-
siderable reliance upon the sickness which prevailed in the
Army. Under these circumstances, I did not think it right
to giiie him time to effed his criminal purposes. I ordered
him to be arrested : this was not easy to be accomplished ;
it was nevertheless effeeted by the skilful measures of Gene-
ral BRUNET and of Citizen FERRARI, my Aid-tie-Camp,
whom I had entrusted with this business.
" I have sent to France with all his Family, this Man,
who is so profoundly perfidious, and whai with so much
hypocrisy, has done us sa much evil. The Government will
see what is fit to be done with him.
" The arrest of General, To ussA till. has given rise to new
assemblies of the Rebels,: two Chief.; of the Insurgents have
been already arrested, whom I have ordered to be shot ; and
one hundred of his principal adherents have been also
arrested; a part of Whom I. have put on board the Frigate
La Mahon, which I have ordered to sail for the Mediterra-
The remainder haVe beeh disposed of in the different
Ships of the Squadron.
" I am continually occupied iii the re-diganization of the
Colonyi with as little force as. possible ; biit the excessive
heati and the maladies which afflid us; render the labour
extremely difficult. I cape& with impatience the month of
September; when the season will restore ouraetivity.
The departure of ToussAttrt has Caused a genital
jay at the Cape.
44 The aorrunisrary of justice MO:ri'PERON, is clea'd.—
The Colonial Prefea Bs Hsz se ir is dangerously ill. The
Adjutant-Commandant DNIIPilltAr, who was a young Of.
flier of great promise, is also dead.
a I Italie the Honour to sallite you, .

The late Mri'4NCELoi who died en-Sunday

at the advanced age of eighty-six, that he gave a
lesson in fencing a few days before his death. He
was a very respeftable eharader : his manners were
elegant and courtly : he was well acquainted with
life, and familiarly known to the most distinguiSh-
ed charaders in Europe for the last half century,
He had long resided in this country, respected by.
persons of the highest rank, and particularly
countenanced by tile ROYAL. FAMILY. In the
arts of Fencing and Riding he was long at the
head of his profession, and by his skill in both,
brought them into general adoption as necessary
branches of fashionable education. He understood
all the Continental tongues, and was altogether
an amiable, accomplished, and estimable man.

There is to be a considerable alteration of the

the whole so well performed, that any alteration in

COURT OF KING'S
tItTING BEFORE LOP.D-I.,I,LENBOROUG4 GLTILiiiiALLI
LONDON.

,TAYLOR V. THOMPSON;

Mr. Erskil: stated this to be an AaioH foi goodg
sold and delivered; namely, a parcel of shoes. The
PlAintiff and Defendant had had some fornier
ings, in Which the Defendant had paid for the goods
very honourably; btu now he set• up a defence;
which, even if it succeeded in point of Lay.; was any
thing but justice: The Plaintiff was by btisiness
Currier; and by A Statute of King James the First;
the policy of which the Court would hate nothing
to do With, it•was provided t 6 that no Currie;, or
other- radestnan.theieiin named; who shOuki be con.
cerned in cutting hydes, leather; &c. shall bt al_
lowed. to make up leather into bouts; sho'eS; &c.
nor should sell Shoes; hoots, B.re. or carry an other
trade in which the cutting of leather vi*as used."--
This, he said, was the substance of this ease, but
he contended; that the provisions of this Aft of
Parliament did not apply to the. Plaintiff in this
Adion; for although he was by trade a Currier,
and had sold these shoes; yet, lie did dot Make them;
nor was concerned in Any branch of their manufac:
ture. The truth was, -that; as a Curlier,' he sold
a great deal of leather to shoemakers, and ftom
some of them; instead of money, he took slioeS, and
he sold them again; as be contended he lawfully
might, for which reason he trusted the Djertdant'4
unconscientiotis defence would not avail him in thiS
case.

There was rio difficulty about the sale ofthe goods,
nor of their value, nor was there any pretence that
they were paid for ; but it appeared that the greater
part of them were bargained for, and sold by the
Foreman of the Plaintiff, in his Warehouse behind
his House, detached froth the- Public, .Street;
and in a place where they were not exposed
to Public Sale, &c. and were delivered front
thence to the Defendant. It was therefore con-
tended on behalf of the Defendant, by Mr. MAR:
RYATiillat the Plaintiff could' not recover in this
Adion, inasmuch as this was not a sale in marker.;
overt, that is, a Sale in open shop or rnarket; it vas
void by the. Statute ofKing James I. for regiiilating
the trades of Tanners, Carriers, Shoemakers; &c.;
by which it was, amongst other things enaded;
" that no such'manner of person orpersons shall utter .
or cause to be uttered or sold; any manner of wares
appertaining to the craft or mystery of any artificer,
using cutting of leather, ,otherwise than 'in, open
shop, or com Mon fair, or market; upon pitin of for.
feituie of all such wares so sold, and re's. for each
such aO, &c." Mr. MARRYA't contended that this
Ad made the goods thus sold; contraband; and de-
clared them forfeited; and therefore, nothing could
be recovered by the sale of theni; the sate itself liting
illegal. This -Ad of Parliament had never been
repealed, althdugh several parts of it had beeti
amended.—lt was amended by the igth Geo: III:
c. 54.—ithe 40th Geo. III: c. 56, and 4oth Geo:
111. c. 53 but not any part of this provision Of that •
Ad{ was touched: •
Mr..ERSKINe said; that in CaseS wherein all the
justice was on one side by adarission,which depended
upon the provision ofan old It of Parliatnent;which
no professional man could be suppdsed at this time,
of day to carry in his head; especially as it was a
thing so far out of the way of common pradice, he
hoped the Lord Chief justice would reserve to hint
the right of arguing this, Case; in Term, before the
'Court ; which his Lordship-, said he Would; and
therefore a verdid was given for
.the Plaintiff gene.:
rally fOr the whole charge, subject to the opinion
of the Court upon the Case to be stated; the amount
of the daniages to, be reduced as the Court should
think fit: This course was • taken because about

to this Objedion:

ready for trial, for want of Witnesses, &c. and
some for Want of briefs being deliVered in due
time; the

upon which Lotd Eb_ce,isotiorrati said, a It is
rather too much for me to be giving up part of the
lOng vacation; and which I shall do Most readily;
far the purpose of transading btisiness; and ad.;
ministering the justice of the Country to the suitors
of this Court; if the time regularly appropriated-
for that very purpose; is throWri‘ away; as it hat
been lately; and as it is ncir'. I did that; some
time ago, Whith I hoped would operate. as a Whole..
some alarrti upon those Who had thus trifled with
the time of the Codrt: I really think that the best;
if not the only-course; to be now taken; is ro call_
on the causes in their turns; and strike them all
otit where the parties are not ready; and to hear
applications, afterwateS, for restoring theni as ex.
ruses may be made Out; and as Cirenthstanees may
appear to require. But this I know; that if any
Suitor of the Court find himself aggrieved;
either by the fault of his Witness; or of his At.,
torney; he will find a willing ear in Court to hilt
complaint ; and I- should think he would not find
it .difficult to obtain redress: This applieS not to
Witnesses Only; but to to ttornies also ; nor' is if
enough that these Gentlemtn. ShoUld appear per.:
sonally it Court when the causes in which the/
are concerned ate called on; but they ShoUld
pare Counsel; in due time; for the discussion their"
causes: It ainiost as bad as not attending to de4
liVer briefs to CounSel just before the cause is called
on ; for by this; it is impossible to do- justice td
causes; There is evety disposition at the Bar to
pay due attention to every case that comes be.;
fore us ; but it should be remembered; that Colin.
sel cannot, any more thanother men, understand
things by intuition; I wish some of the Suitors
who have So mirth reason to complain against Ara
torn* Would bring their grievances• before the

OPENING O 1 THS SCHELDT.

tcontintted from the I.4'h instentt.7)

3-lArrtgc enumerated the different kinds of Com-
met& in N hick Antwerp was engaged before its
fal:, we shall proceed to describe its miserable sack

Atid ruin.

Catnbden remarked, under the year 1576,.‘! that
all things were then in-cnufasion there under the
Duke of Alva's Gnverniren't : the Magistrates of
thr country were imprisoned, their good,' violently
seized, and all other kinds injuries dOne-to the
Tetyle ; whereby the States were driven to take up
arms. And in the said yeat 1576, Antwerp, the
most 'excellent of Cities, the most florishing mart,
tow,l, without exception, ill. all Europe, was plun-
dered by the Spani,h Garrison, who mutinied to
want of their pay."
- -

Yet this was nothing compared to the Duke of
Parma's entering that City with his Army, in the
year 1385, iafter a close Siege, whilst Queen Eliza..
beth was cuncluding a Treaty with ,the Dutch,. to
said 4000 :uen to its relief, for which she was to

have Siuys, in Flanders, as a pledge.
. FAMIANUb'STRADA, in his -History or the Low
Country Wars,. relates; " that they most miserably
pltiudcred the richest port-town in all Christendom,
for ihree days together, to the value of at least two
millions of pistols, beside an infinite value of rich
merchandize and furniture destroyed by fire.—
Almost 3000 of its. inhabitants fell by the sword,
I Soo were 'either burned or trodden to death, and as
many drowned in the Scheldt." The Prince of
PARMA was at this time Governor of the Nether-
lands, •ALVA having been recalletL

The packing of this City gave the finishing
blow to the commerce of the Netherlands. Accord-
ing.to HirET, the whole fidiing.trade removed into
Holland, and the noble manufaCtures- of Flanders and
Brabant, were tran ferred to other Countries.
A considerable part of the woollen manufadure
settled at Leyden, where it flourished till the
French invasion of Holland. The linen removed
to Haerlem and Amste►danl. A third part of the
merchants' and workmen, who wrought and dealt in
silks, damasks, and taffaries, and in bayes, serges,
stockings, &c. settled in England, because we were
at that time ignorant of those manufaCtures. The
rest of the merchants of Antwerp, -more ;specially
the Protestants, would probably have settled here,
had it not been for the, aliens' double customs,
which foreign merchants Were obliged to pay, and
from their exclusion from all companies or societies
of commerce. - Even foreign journeymen were ex:
chided fromsetting; up to be master workmen, or
p:irtne►s in any tides but such aa'our people were.
unacquainted with.

Thu,, through the madness of Spanish bigotry;
and ofarhitrary power, commerce and manufadures,
driven from the- Nether' Inds, 'moved the means of
increasing those in most of the countries of Eu-
rope, west and north of the Mediterranean, and to
several cities and towns which had hitherto en-
joyed neither the one nor the other : a most serious
memento to the Governors -of Nations !

To this persecution of the Flemish Protestants,
Sweden is indebted for its greatest improvements
in the making of iron cannon, :andiof other iron,
copper, and brass manufaCtures. For before this
time, most of the Swedish iron was only run into
rigs there, and then was sent to Dantzick, and
other parts of Prussia, to be forged into bars; just
as the English formerly sent their wool into Flan.
ders to be made into cloth by the Flemings.
Before this overthrow of the comnyree of
Antwerp, the once famous GERARD 'MALYNES, in
his Treatise entitled Free Trade, printediiiodavo,
in 1622 observes, ‘, that no Nation trafficked so
much to Antwerp, in bulk of staple commodities,
as the realm of England did. This, (says he,) is
asserted by BoTERo, who relates, that
,two years
before the taking of Antwerp, all the merchandize
of Christendom; which- was vended there in one
-year, being valued by the Officers of that City, the
wliole being ditided into five parts, the English
merchandize alone amounted unto four parts there_
0f.."

THUANUS, lib. 62. called Antwerp the most
opulent city in the world ; yet, as most part of
her commerce was carried on by the ships of Fo-
reign nations, she had not much shipping'properly
of her own, compared with London and Amster_
dam in our 'days. 'So- that, when it was sacked,
the shipping removed:to their own nations, which
was a, principal reason that Antwerp was disabled
from recovering its former commerce; though. the
Duta forts on the Scheldt below it, was another,
and a still more cogent one. -

In its glory it contained 13,500 private houses,
42 churches, 22 marketplaces, and 220 streets :
from the Scheldt, on which it stands
.in the figure of
a crescent, were cut eight principal canals into the
City, for laden ships to go into the heart of it. Not
only England and Holland have happily felt the ad_
vantages of the wild condod of Spain, in the -per-
secution of the Protestant's of the Netherlands,. by a
very considerable aceession of industrious manufac-
turers; but likewise many cities of Germany were,
from the same cause, stocked with industrious in.
habitants.

A long range of cottages, on a farm of,Mr. Al-
der's, at Goswick, near Berwick-upon-Tweed, was
discovered to be 'on fire a little after miii-day, on
Monday last ; and notwithstanding,every exertion
on the part of the poor inhabitants, the whole, with
all they contained, were almost instantaneously re-
duced 16 ashes. Among other ravages of the mer-
ciless.fiames, were the accumulated-savings of one
industrious cottager, to the, amount of 201. in Bank
Notes, the hard earned fruits of many a care-fraught
hour ; and twelve pounds, in, the same perishable
materials,-the price of a cow, which another had
disposed_of but a few days before.

T I'3 DAY-..-P-FRIDAY, JULY 16.

James :Shepherd was inditied for feloniously
stealing, on the 14th of July, a mahogany knife.
case, the pioperty of Martnaduke Westmore.
The Prosecutor, it appeared, is a Cabinet.-maker
in Crooked lane in the City, and one of the people
called Quakers :—He'objeded to being sworn ;
'and the Ricon it, in the first instance, said his
afrmalton could not be taken in a criminal case ;
however, as it turned out, his evidence was not
Material.—The principal Witness was Mr. West-
more's errand-boy, about twelve .-years of age,
who gave a very minute and colleeted account of
the transaEtion. He stated that on the.day men_.
tioned in the IndiEtment, about elevenb'clock, he
was in the counting-house, which communicates
with the shop by a glass door. He observed the
Prisoner walk up and down several *times opposite.
the shop door ; at length he walked in with the most
perk& composure : i o body was -in the shop at
the time, took the knife-cas.hich lay at one end
'of the counter, and walked away with it. The boy
immediately ran out and gave the alarm, crying
"—stop thief,. &c."- and before he
_lost sight
the Prisoner was stopped by one of the other Wit-
nesses, previously to which he had dropped the
knife case. He was immediately given in charge
'to an Officer; who kept the property ever since, and
the boy above mentioned swore it belonged to the
Prosecutor.

.The Prisoner ingenuously owned he had nothing
to s3y in his defence, and trusted to the mercy of
the Court as to the result.

The Jury, of course, immediately found him
Gui .
:The parties, as is usual in these cases, were or-
dered to be allowed their expences, with the e.xceP-
tion of the Quaker, whd, as he gave them no as_
sistance in the. admiuistration of jiistice, theßE-
coßtiett saictshouldnot be allowed them.

• William Williams was charged with reloniouily
Stealing a quantity of raw coffee; laid as the -pro_
perry of Richard Crook.
It appeared, thata considerable quantity of coffee,
intended fir expOrtationin bags, was deposited On
Bear Key.—Early in the morning of the i4rh of
June, about. four o'clocki- the Prisonei was found
lying down among the bags,:one of whieli that:„ was
near him, was cut, from which some'of the coffee
was spilt ; .and on searching the Prisoner,
.the quern_
tity laid in the Indiainenr, was found in his bat;
breeches, and in other .parts of his. apparel: the
coffee wasrfound' to be precisely the same kind as
that which the cut hag contained, and 'on weighing
so mush was found deficient as had been 'spilled and
found about: the Prisoner

In his defence, he said, he fell asleep among the
bags, and in that situation was found by the parties
who took him into custody ; as to the rest of the
charge, he was innocent of it.
'No proof, however, being adduced to substan-
tiate this defence, the Jury had no hesitation in pro-
nouncing the Prisoner—Guilty.

Robert De!amain was charged with a capital of-.
fence, in feloniously assaulting, on the King's high-
way, Simon Nazarette, putting him in fear, and
forcibly taking from his person six 51. B4nk Notes,
three tL Notes, and two Half Guineas, his pro-
perty.
This case, on account of some particularities in
the Prosecutor, who was the principal Witness,
was attended with some degree of perplexity.—lt
appeared he was a Frenchman, spoke English very
imperfealy, and gave his testimony chiefly through
the medium of an interpreter.—The circumstance
of his being superficially acquainted with the Eng-
lish tongue, tended not a little to confuse his nar.
rative ; as he frequently passed by the medium of
the interpreter, and gave the account in English
directly from himself.—From what could clearly be
understood,. it appeared, that the effeft of his ac-
count was, that he was a mariner, and about a month
since_ was paid the , Notes stated in the inditiment,
by his Captain, as his wages--=the ship lay in the
Upper Roads, Deptford.—lt appeared, that lie had
been drinking.—He was put ashore in the vicinity
of Litr.ehouse, which fad, it. was some time, for
the reasons above stated, before the Court could
ascertain.--As he was proceeding homewards to
his lodgings in Wapping, he was &et by a man,
who he was. positive was the Prisoner, who, with
a violent blow of a stick felled him to the ground,
and while he was in - that situation seized
him by the collar and rifled' him of the notes
and money stated in the indidment.—This
was .the jet of the Prosecutor's account, who
underwent a long cross-examination by the Pri-
:soner's Counsel; Upon the whole the .evidence was
such as to induce the Jury to find'the Prisoner--
Not Guilt].

Mary Swam was convidted of feloniously stealing
a silver :watch,-,the property of John Tothill.; and
Joseph Spar was found guilty of being an accessary
after the 'fad in the said felony.

James Kennedy was tried upon the capital charge
of feloniously assaulting upon the King's highway,
Elizabeth, the wife of Samuel Butcher, and forcibly
taking from her person, a buntile containing the sun-
dry articles of wearing apparel laid as .the property
of the said Samuel Butcher. The evidence in support
of the Pro'secution in this Case was such as induced
the. Jury to mitigate the capital part of the charge
by finding a Verdid Guilty of stealing only.

and pledged bq the Prisoner ; and the dbplicates
found in his possession.: From a particular mark
in this. piece of silk, Mr. Smith ‘s•as enabled to
swear to it, although cut in pieces. Mr. Holds-
worth, the City- Marshal, found about 8o pawn_
broker's tickets upon the Prisoner ; and a• great
number of pawnbrokers' servants attended with the
property ; and after the jury had found him guilty
of this indiament, the Recorder said he did not
think it necessary to gv into any more of them,., as
from what had passed, he doubted not of the pro-
perty belonging to the Prosecutors, and ordered all
the pawnbrokers to deliver up the goods. without •
any.farther trouble.

The Rev. Mr. MUNNINGS, of East Dereham,
'Noriolk,, hiving had frequent occasion to regret
that, when turnip crops were very abundant, the
advantages derived from the expenditure, Were far
from correspondent, because no effeBual method
had been devised to protea the,roOts from the t.e-
verity-of the winter's frost, in the common method
of broad.cast sowing, he .considered.an attempt of
this•sort impratticable ; he therefore used the drill
method; and then, 'by puffing up, the alternate
rows, vacant spaces of about three feet wide were
:left,- which he so turned-upon up with a plough as to
mould up the turnips- each.side,.most effettually,
and thereby lessen very materially, if not absolutely
prevent, the danger arising from tile fatal effects of
a cuttiog .frost•. Ale. says, that many .very expe-
