ESTERDAY the Highland Society gave a dinner
to Earl MoittA, the Commander of His MajestY'i,
Forces in Scotland, to testify the:high sense which
they entertain of his Lordship's services in that Coon-.
try. The Marquis of DOUGLAS, President for the
year, was in the Chair, and he was supported by .the
Duke of ATHOLL, Marquis of LORNE, Earl of
FIFE, Lord JAMES MURRAY, Lord SEA,URTFI,
Lord KINNAIRD, Lord .MACDONALt7,Sir DAVID

Adm. CAMPBELL, COI. DICKSON, 42(i, Col. CA-
MERON, 79th, and a large phalanx of the Noblemen
and Gentlemen of that part of the Kingdom; in all,
near iso. The day was spent with that high spirit
of conviviality which always distinguishes the meet.
ings of the Scots. The regular toasts were :given,
as usual, in G,;elic, accompanied by the national
music.

The Noble CHAIRMAN, in giving the health of
Earl MOIRA, made a short address to the gallant
and Noble General, expressive of the high tense
which that company entertained of his most season-
able exertions in their native country to rally its
resources, and to make its courage effeaive.
Earl Morita, in return to the enthusiastic accla—
mations with which his health was received, made
a short but eloquent address, in which he said, that
his part in the grand and glorious display of spirit
which had been made in Scotland was truly little. Hi
had in fact had nothin to do but to aired
which he found in the g country. He bad not the spirit
k
to unwilling ears—he had not to enkindle to
c `pea
old or
alienated hearts. His experienee'of the char-after of
his fellow.creatures had soon pointed to him, that the
grandest energies of the human soul were in the
breasts of the men whom he had the honour to be as.
sneiated with, and that he had only to dired, to dia..
cipline, and to lead on the courage which he found
embodied, or ready to he embodied, at the voice of
danger. The descendants of " the Scots who oft with
Wallace bled," who had Roman resisted all the force of the
Legions, and had kept Scotland unconquer.:
ed when all the rest of Europe fell, were nei.

Freneh,, nor conquered by their arms. lie had
f()und the spirits° perfea, and the hearts of the peo.
Pie so disposed, that he had felt it to be his duty to
State to the Commander in Chief, that in case the
Entmy should be daring enough to make a landing
in Scotland, he made it a request, that not a
Battalion of his disposable force might be sent to
Scotland : they were fully equal to the prvtedion of
their Country, without reinforcement. He did not
venture to say this in, boyish forwardness, but on
mature relict-bon. He viewed them with an attentive
eye, and he was convinced that he Might venture to
foretel, that though they Might not survive Elle con-
:lift of a battle, they would sell their lives at such a
rate as to make it impassible for the Enemy oppose
to them to maintain their position in the a

discovering and bringing to condign punishment
those who have wantonly -shed the blood of their
fellow. creature;, was never more
.remarkable' than
in the deledion of Lalette Beritinger, a Priso-
nes of War, or, Parole in Spanish Town.
This atrocious miscreant was a Captain of Hus-
sars in the French Service, in Guaddloupe, in 1794,
and was, we understand, formerly in the British
Service. The cruelties he committed_ in Guada.
loupe, on some British Prisoners in his possession,
arc particularly noticed in an .Extraet feom. the
London Evening Post, under the bead " French
Cruelty," and signed " A British Officer," which,
bearing every mark of authenticity, was published
in this Paper on the 31st ult.
This piece having attracted the notice of several
inhabitants of Spanish Town, as the name and de-
scription bore a strong resemblance to a prisoner
on parole, who had been with true British gene_
rosity, permitted by his Honour the Lieutenant-
Governor to instral a few pupils in the art of
horsemanship, for which purpose he was also allow_
ed the use of the Dragoon riding-school. These
suspicions being suggeSted to Brigadier. General
Carmichael, he very promptly and laudably insti.
ruled an inquiry. Fortunately La Violettewas
recognized by two privates in the Garrison of that
town, who had served in Guadaloupe in 1794, who
identi4ed him as having been guilty of the cruel-
ties stated in the said extract, and mentioned some
other atrocious circumstances, one of which was his
ordering two British invalid prisoners, who had
waded middle deep after his boat, to be shut in that,
situation. One of the privates who gaVe evidence-
against him, was strung with another of the British
prisoners, who being unable from weakness to con-
tinue his journey, was cut from him by a sabre,
and ordered by La Violette to be shot, which was
done. On these circumstances being ascertained,
the villain was immediately ordered into irons, and
sent on board the prison-ship on Thursday last. -

EXTRACT FROM THE BOMBAY GAZETTE OF 29TH
AUGUST, 1803.

" Authentic intelligence has been received at Fort
William, of the successful commencement of opera-
tions against Dow LuT-Row-Sc INDIA, by the
Forces under command of Major-General WELLES.
LEY. On the Bth instant th; large fortified Pettah
of Ahmednuggar was carried by escalade, with the
utmost gallantry and rapidity. This operation was
dialed immediately upon the artival of the Army
on its ground before Ahrnednuggar, by the advanced
Piquet, reinforced by the Flank Companies of His
Majesty's 74.111 and 78th Regiments, and the tst
Battalion of the 3d Madras Regiment of Native In-
fmtry, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel
HAR N ESS, the Field-Officer of the day."

By accounts received in town from Ceylon, we
hear that 398 Soldiers, 37 Officers, and 7 Civilians,
were massacred at Candy. The British Forces,
reduced to a few hundred•, were driven into Trin.
cornale, which was besieged by 20,000 of the Na-
tives; and, unless they could make their escape by
sea, or receive timely reinforcements from Madras,
it is feared they also would he in danger of falling into
the hands of the cruel and implacable enemy.

A letter from Barbadoes, dated February 2, says,
" No zki of December, or ist of January packets
have arrived here yet, and great tears are enter-
tained for their safety. Three or four fast sailing
French 'Privateers are brought in here, and our
cruizers are keeping a good look-out for more of
them ; and, no doubt, they will succeed, as they
fit out the same vessels as a decoy to others."

MAIDSTONE MARCH f 5.

DOE, ON DEMISE (IF ANGEL, Z. ANGEL.

TH IS was an ACtion of Ejettment, to recover a
considerable Estate in this County, devised by Will
in manner as is below stated. It was a cause of
considerable expectation, not only on account of
the magnitude of the property in dispute, but also
because nine different claims have been tried within
the last twenty years, not one of which has proved
successful.

The case, as opened by Mr. Serjeant BEST, and
which was partly m evidence, was as*follows :—A
Gentleman of the name of Angel, residing at Stock.
wed, in Surrey, made a will, dated Sept. z 6, 1775,
by which he bequeathed all his real and personal
estates in Surrey, Kent, and Sussex, " to the male
heirs, if any, of William Angel, the first pur-
chaser of Crowhurst, the father of his great
grandfather, John Angel." He then devised to
the other branches of his family, subjed neverthe-
less to have their right defeated,' whenever the heirs
of the above-named William Angel could substan,
tiate their claim. Having made this Will, he died
in the year 1784., and 'the estate has been possess.
ed by relatives, not the right heirs, of William
Angel, the first purchaser of Crowhurst. The
Leaped Serjeant stated, that his client claimed as
the right heie of the person named. He adMit.
ted that he must shew his client's descent from the
above described John Angel, whom the Testa.
tar had described as his own great-grandfather,
and the son of William Angel, the first purchaser •
of Crowhurst. He accordingly went, through the
pedigree, which we shall endeavour to state : Wil-
liam Angel, who, for this purpose, may be consider-
ed as the founder of the family, died in 1629,
leav-
ing a son, John Angel, who inherited the chief
of his fortune. This son John left several chit-
dren ; but, fur the purpose of this cause, it was
necessary to name only two, John and Justi-
nian. The Testator, Angel, of Stockwell, was
the grandson of Justinian ; when therefore he left
his estate to the heirs of William the first purcha-
ser, it is clear that any one who could claim this,
John, Justihian's elder brother, was entitled to
preference. It had, however, appeared that John,
Justinian's elder brother, hadquarrelled with his
family, and wept away, no one knew whither, never
having been heard of afterwards by his family.
His father, the Serjeant stated, had himself caused
an extent to be sent into his house, w hick had
swept away all his property. The present Plain-
tiff, J Butt Angel, of Gloucestershire, traced
his descent to a John. Angel, who came into that
County about the time that John Angel, of Crow-
thirst, disappeared ; and he admitted it was for
him to offer such circumstances in evidence as
should afford proof that the John Angel, of Crow-
hurst, and the John Angel of Leigh,. in Glou-
cestershire, was one and the saMe person. He
should therefore prove, that it was a tradition,
among the ancient people of Leigh, that the Angels
of that place came irons Kent or Sussex, where
they had rich relations. It was also remembered by
a very old man, who died last-year at the age of 90,
that the family used to bury under a yew-tree in the
corner of the church-yard. Inconsequence of this,
that part of the churchyard had.been searched, and '
an old tomb-stone was dug up, which contained an
inscription, in his mind, decisive of the cause, and
conclusive in favour of his Client. The inscrip.
Lion on the tomb-stone was as follows : —fez memory
of John Angel, of Alston,in the parish of Cheltenham,
late of Crowhurst, in the County of Surrey, 'who died
dune 3, 1690, aged 62. years." Independent of this
description, which periedly pointed Out that this was
the John Angel who quitted Crowhurst, ' he should
shew by the register of his birth at Crowhurst, that
he was baptized the 6th May, 1628, so that he
would exadly be 6z'years old at the date of his
death, as the tomb-stone had described. He was
aware of the 'answer which it was intended to set
up, namely, that this tomb-stone was a forgery and
a fabrication of a much later date ; but he should
shew that this stone was above ground in Leigh.
churchyard near 30 years ago, long befOre the Tes-
tator made his At that time he would prove
that it was dug up by Freeman, the. old sexton,
who was attending the late Assizes at Maidstone, to .
give his evidence, when he caught the small-pox,
of which he died ; b9r he had now his dying de-
claration of the fad, which he submitted mtist be
received as evidence. Besides the stone under a
yew-tree, which all the world knew was one of
very slow growth, he should produce in Court the
fibres of part of the root, which had grown until,
they came against the stone, and there finding re-
sistance, they had grown in .a curve over it. .
The Will of Mr. John Angel, of Stockwell, was
first proved, in which he devised his estates to the
right heirof Wm. Angel, the fatherof his great grand-
father, John Angel. The monumental inscriptions
of Wm. Angel, and of the first John Angel, were
read, which proved that John Angel left a son,
named John Angel, surviving bins, who was older
than Justinian Angel, from whom the testator de.
rived his descent. The Will of Win. Angel, the.
first purchaser of Crowhurst, was also read, wherein
he described himself a Citizen and Fishmonger, and
left, among other things, the Talbot Tavern to his
son, John Angel, the father of the lost John Angel.
The register of the birth of the last John Angel
was produced, by which it 'appeared that he was
baptized at Crowhurst on the 6th of May, 1628.
George Minchin, of Stonehurst, said, he was born
and lived mapyy ears at Leigh. About as years ago,
as he was paring turf under the yew-tree for a grave,
he found a tomb-stone buried. He recollided that
it had the name of John Angel upon it, and Crow.,
hurst, in Surrey. He believed it described the de-
ceased as aged 60, Or thereabouts. He put it up.'
right again in the ground, near the church-dooth
where it served as a scraper for the feet. He had
left Leigh now for is years,
William Trinder said, he had been many years
Churchwarden of Leigh ; he knew Freeman, the
late Sexton; he died of the small-pox, which he
caught at the late Maidstone Assizes ; he knew the
stone found in the church-yard on the 6th of August,
1788. He was sent for about ten minutes after it
was dug up. He said, that John Butt Angel, the
Plaintiff, had breakfasted with him the morning it
- was igglid, and that lie and the old Clerk went to

the church. yard, where they dug the stone up it
about hail an hour.

The Counsel for the Plaintiff' then proposed
examine this Witness as to the dying declaration of
the Parish Clerk, which was opposed as not adinis_
Bible evidence.- The point was argued for above
three hours ; when the Learned Judge decided that
it could not be received.
Minchin was then called. bacic, and asked if he
could swear that the stone produced was the same as
dug up 25 years ago. He said he would.
The tomb-stone was then produced in Court, cu-
riously preserved in a wooden case: on the-face
it it exhibited suspicious circumstances—the letters
were all sharp and distinft, and the spelling con-
tained none of the redundant vowels used a centur
back.

Mr. Buckham, stone-cutter to Westminster-AIL_
bey, said, from the appearance of the stone, he
should conceive it to be of the date it purported us
be of.

Mr. Gmtßow was about to cross-examine this
Witness, when Mr. Baron f-loniAm interfefed, and
the Plaintiff's Counsel consented to be non-suited.

This morning the remains of Lord CAME i. FO F..
were interred in the Church of St. Anne, WeiE-
minster, The procession consisted of a hearse anti

Wednesday dispatches were received from Com-
modore Hoop. We understand that they bring such
accounts as encourage a hope that we shall soon hear
of the fall ut Martinico. To the surpriie of every
person who knows the spot, he has not only Suc-
ceeded in taking possession of the Diamond Rock,
about one mile distant from the East part of Mar.
tinico, which was supposed by the Enemy, and by
passengers in, general, to be scarcely possessed of
footing for goats, hut has aaually fortified and
mounted some very heavy guns upon it. Two long
4-pounders have been mounted on a battery at the
base of the Rock ; .a 3z-pounder about two-thirds
up the most perpendicular part of it, and two IS_
pounders at the summit.

From the time of. Commodore liooo's taking
possession of the Rock to the Queen's birthday,
when she batteries fired a royal salute, was only
eight days—with so much assiduity were the works
carried on. The Centaur lies at anchor off the•
Rock ; the possession of which will, it is thought,
very much facilitate the capture of Martinico.
