New Nov. 3.-;-"The British Privateer
General B,e'vier, belonging to Nova Scotia, anti
mounting twelve iz.pounders, has been taken by a
French Privateer and carried into Point Petre. She

was taken without any opposition, having been 1.
previously boarded by a British Frigate, which im. ;
pressed her men, leaving barely enough to navigate
the vessel. A number of English Vessels have
lately been sent into Point Petre. The Ship Reco.
very, of Greenock, for Jamaica the Ship Nancy,
from Cork ; and a Ship from Dublin, with cargoes
of provisions, are Captured and carried into that
place. The Baltimore Gazette mentions a report of
the escape of JEROME BONAPARTE and his Lady for
France, on board of the fast.sailing Schooner Cor.
delis, Capt. To ; and the Philadelphia True
American states, that they were shipwrecked, and
obliged to return : it appears, however, that both
these reports are unfounded.
Case of ,Colonel BURR.---A Grand Jury of the
State of New Jersey have presented a Bill of In.
diEiment for murder against this Gentleman. As
the wound was given in the State of New Jersey,
and General HAMILTON died in, that of New York,
it was supposed that Colonel BURR could not he
charged with murder ; for as, according to com-
mon law, if the stroke of which one dies be given
in one County,' and he die in another, it ie not
murder in either, the case ought to be .much
stronger between different States. It happens, how-
ever, that there is a particular Statute of the State
of New Jersey, by which, if the stroke be given
there, and death ensue in another State, it is held to
be murder.
Nov. s.—Extralt of a Letter from Commodore
PREDLE, to the Secretary of the Navy, dated June
the ta.th, Igo+, on board the United States' Fri.
gate Constitution, off Tripoli : " Yesterday I an.
„elicited off the harbour, anti sent Mr. "O'BRIFte on
shore under a•flag of truce, to endeavour to ransom
our unfortunate Countrymen, and, if the BAsitAw
should desire it, to establish peace. Mr. O'BRIEN
did not succeed in his'mission; he landed at noon,
and returned on beard at half past two o'clock. You
will see by the instruttiona how far he was aulho.
rized togo for the ransom. I presume, if the terms
had been accepted, that our Government would have
been satisfied ; but they were refused, and we have
no alternative hut to.oblige him to accept them or
Others more favourable for us." Another Letter
from Commodore PM:IILE, dated Massina, July 7,
mentions, that he had taken on board there 700
bomb shells, and,powder in proportion, for the ow
pose of bombarding Tripoli.
Nov. 6.—Capt. PATERSON, who arrived here
yesterday in the Schooner Linnet, froth Shelburne,
informs, that he passed the French Frigates the
Dirion and Sybelle, from this port, on Saturday even.
ing at five o'clock, cif the Northeast end of Black
bland, with their courses hauled up. As it was
then calm, he supposei they could not have gone
more than a mile before twelve that night, when a
breeze sprung up from N.N.E. and he thinks it pro.
liable carried them to sea.—We learn by a Schooner
from Lmg Island, that the British Ships of War, the
Leander and Cambrian Frigates, which left Sandy
Hook on Saturday morning, had got as far as ten
miles to the Eastward of Hog Island by eleven
O'clock, which is about so miles from Sindy Hook.
Nov. 8..-...JIROME BONAPARTE and his Lady
embarked on hoard the Melon for more than a week
before the sailing of the French Frigates from this
port for France. We are informed, that M. DoPtINT,
the French Agent, went with them as far as New.
haven. The tale of Jaßome's having sailed from
Baltimore,
,with the subsequent one of his shipwreck
in the Delaware, are totally devoid of truth. For
two weeks before the sailing of the Frigates no
strangers were permitted to go on hoard the Diden.
The Pilot.boat which went through the Sound with
the French Frigates returned last evening. She
left the Frigates on Saturday evening; between six
and oven o'clock, to the Northward of Black
Island. They were becalmed till about one o'clock
in the morning, when they went to sea with a good
brrbze at N.N.E.
Nov. 9.—Capt. Govt.!), who arrived at Balti-
more last Saturday, the 3d insr. from Norfolk,
states, that the report of the day, when he sailed,
was, that a French Privateer, under the semblance
of being an English Packet, and under the pretence
allaying dispatches for-the Commander of a British
Frigate lying off Grenada, was admitted alongside of
her; when the Captain of the Privateer, by suddenly
and unexpededly boarding with a large number of
men, made prize of the Frigate, an carried her

off.
Paulus. Hook, by an Ad of the Legislature of
New. Jersey, has been meted into a City, to be
named the City of Jersey, anti a port of entry.
In addition to the account given in our Paper of
Monday, of the state of affairs at Cape Franslin,
we learn by arrivals at Philadelphia, that when
Capt. GI asotl, of the Pilgtim, belonging to that
Port, was ordered out, and at the place of execu.
tion, Capt. SMITH, of this City, resolutely stepped
forward and remonstrated to then Commanding 01ft.
cer ; on which the Black Officer ordered one of his
soldiers to run him through with his bayonet : Mr.
SIMTit, aware of the imminent danger, fled, and
the, soldier pursued, but soon after returned and in.
formed, that the Captain had escaped; on which the
Officer sternly said, #, your head shall pay fur it
the next time, you obey my orders in that way.''
Three days prior to the sailing of the Fleet (of
which the CillUN, arrived here on Sunday, was one),
a Proclamation was issued interdiding any Master
of Supercargo from retaining any part of their car.

Administration, or to one individual resident mer.

of any Vessel from secreting on board his Vessel,

COURT OF KING's BENCIT, Deozmata

SITTINGS Ar GUILDHALL.

'l. PACK, AN!) 1, McN4LLY, V. DONALD
HUGH MACKIE, ESQ.
This was an attion to recover a satisfaction in
. damages for seven men impressed on board a
Gleenlandman, contrary to the protedion afforded
under the Statute., .
Mr. GI I 3 us, for the. Illaietiffs, said, his Clients
were owners of the Greenland Ship' the Octan ; the
'Defendant is Captain of His'Majesty's Armed Brig
Cie Prince William. He did not mean to condemn
the impress service, so necessary inehese times to
the publiC security, but he intended to gain for the
Plaintiffs the proteCtion afforded them by certain
Ads of Parliament for the preservation of one of
• ,the, most useful and Important branches of -the
trade of the country, on' which the superiority of
our hostile Navy, in a great tlegree, depended,, if
nor for its existence, at least tOr its superiority.
The Greenland trade requires the co.operation of
persons accustomed to the severity of the northern
climate, and to the dangerous service on which
the emolument depends : -two Ads have been
passed to exclude those who, pursue it, from the
Impress. Contrary to the mandate under this
high authority, the Defendant, at the mouth of the
Humber, sent on hoard the Crean a Lieutenant and
three men, ordered fifteen of the crew of the
Greenlandmaneon board the armed brig, and in the
sequel seven of them were detained, although the
protedions were produced to the Defendant. The
Captain of the Ocean, thus deprived of his men,
proposed to the Defendant to take Charge of the
ship, which was valued at 2,0001. and insisted on
continuing on hoard the Prince. William; On
'_the Defendant ordered a rope to the yardearrn, but
whether the Captain of the Ocean %vete to he hank.
ed or drowned did not appear. The master stated,
.in his evidence, the'crew of the brig were teludant
in executing. such a cosmiand ; and he afterw.4ds
Was permitted to depart without injury. Not ith.
standing the number of men remaining in the ocean
were inadequateft to the defence, yet
,they were Cam.
petent to the navigation of the. ship, and. she ar.
7iVed safely in the Port of Lyndon. The testi-
mony on the -ease of the Plaintiff being concluded,
Mr. Getteow addressed the Cow aed. the Jury
on the part of the Defendant. lie said, this te.
sipedable Officer in his Majesty's'servicelwas sob.
jeded to three attions'of the same kind; -that tier
costs oboe them alone would be a very serious
charge. It ehould be recolleded this circumstance
took,place when Lord Keith, ter the' safety of the
Nation, had under his orders a more telinerous na.
val armament Than' was ever committed to the com-
mand of any British 'Admiral. In coliseqUence of
the urgent necessities of the service,' the subordi.
nate Officers were most adive to procure hands, on
every possible opportunity, from the horneward.
bound Ships, and it was in the execution of this
essential duty the men in question : were taken.
Although these marine Officers did gallant anions,

into-Court to answer the demands, excepting this
surdso'given the Captain, to vt hid) the Defendant
pleaded that it was not for the nie Of the ship, and
thar, 'therefore,' he was not liable.
Mr. GARROW said, he should give no explanation
'of the case, because it recibifed none, llt would be
sufficient to call his witnesses' to prOve that the
whole was supplied by tie Plaintiff for the use of
'the ship, and in that case the owners must be re-
sponsible.
Mr. jones', the son of the Plaintiff, deposed to
the -advance of the amount stated to the Captain:,
Thomas Clarke, the master of the vessel, was
then called, but he did not answerl andlit was
intimated that he was fearful of being pressed, apt!'

Mr. ciiiitßOW said this Was an Action. for 'an
assault and false imprisonment. The Plaiotiff was
a warehouieman in a very respeetable house ; the
Defendant was an attorney. About eleven o'clock
at night his client was going peaceably to his apart.

coMpanied by his wife. All three continued, for
some distance, to walk the same pace ; b4i. he,
the rlaintiff, .rentained behind them, atik,ikgvt.;
uttered a syllable, or in the least degree molested
them. Happening to have occasion to 'stop, he
was presently astonished by • the appearance 'of a
watchman with the Defendant, tvho gave him in
charge; in .consequence, of which he, was con.
dueled to the Constable of the night, and by him,
committed to the Poultry-Compter. The next
morning the. Plaintiff was carried before the Lord
Mayor, and instantly liberated.
The Watchman and Constable were then caPed.
The latter stated, that in' the proceedings before
the Lord Mayor, it was acknowledged by the
Plaintiff, that thinking the Defendant had takena

illioUgh Several 'streets.!' It further appeared, by
the sante testimony, -.that the. Plaintiff was oinred

Mr. EitSICINB, for the Defendant, contended

obscure streets, might be a proper occasion to corn.
