The seventh Battalion of Reserve, soo strong;
have volunteered to serve as a Regiment of the

Line.
A Letter from Havre, of the 17th ult, states, that
search was making for an English Admiral, who had
entered that place as a Spy, in a French uniform.
One hundred and ten Convicts, on board the hulk*
at Woolwich, have been pardoned on entering thc.
Army, and the Cromor Transport has received a
military guard, and orders to convey them round to

Portsmouth.
Two persons were lately sentenced to be shot at
Grenoble, for asserting in a Coffee.hOuse, that the
only.men who had a r,ight to the Throne of France
were I...npis XVIII.. a-al
who 1,.-aeaded Louis XVI. i'hey were tried with
rso refra6tory Conscripts, and executed the. sainti
day.
Captain REYNOLDS, of Pennaire, near Truro, is
appointed to the command'of the Dreadnought, of
98 guns, now with our Fleet off Brest. Lieutenant
CARTHEW REYNOLDS, who so gallantly distinguish.
ed himself by the late affair in the. West Indies, is
the son of Captain REYNOLDS, now of the Dread_
Trough} This brave young Officer was for a mo.
merit overpowered in a struggle with a French 011 i.
cer of superior strength, and fell, when the French- •
man was on the point of stabbing him through the
body. At this critical moment, his friend, Lieute-
nant BETTESWORTH, shot the Frenchman through
the head with a pistol. This appears to have been
a most gallant and daring action ; young REYN'LDa
and a Scotchman were, the two first that boarded
the Enemy. They ascended by a ladder suspended
over the Corvette's stern, and cleared the quarter..
deck, while the other boats boarded over the bows.
When Lieutenant REYNOLDS laid hold of the ladder,
he offered ten guineas to the first man that followed
him, declaring he would lead the way ; " I'll he
d----d if you do, then," said the brave Scot, wll4
sat in the boat's bow, and iaastantly sprung before
him. The vessel was carried in a few minutes, and
Lieutenant REYNOLDS, wjio is recovered of his
wounds, has been made Master and Commander an
board the prize.
Saturday morning early, a trotting match took
place on the Bath road, from Knightsbridge to
Slough, betwixt a gelding belonging to Capt. Poo-
LEvr, and a mare, the property of a Naval' Captain.
The mare was the victor, having performed the
journey (19 miles and a half) in one hour and eleven
I. minutes. The gelling accompanied her the firs:

53 miles.
The Sherhorne Journal has the following para-
graph : " On Tuesday died, at. Dorchester, in the
prime of life, of a broken heart, universally re-
gretted by all who knew her, Mrs. GORDON, wile
of the Rev. LOCKART GORDON."
A very singular circumstance lately occurred at
Paris : Count 13tmatr, the Saxon Resident at that
City, having intimated to his cook his intention to
discharge him, for embezzling his property, and a
day being appointed to settle his accounts, the vil-
lain took the opportunity of creeping into the Count's
sitting-room unawares, and surprizing him, with
one pistol pointed to the Count's breast, and the
other with the muzzle in his own mouth ; fortunate..
ly that direded at the Count missing fire, the other
was discharged, and blew the brainS of his intended
raurderer about the apartment.
Sie Journeymen Cabinet.nqakers were on Satur.
day chirged at the Public. Office, Marlborough.
street, wi,th conspiring to raise their wages. Four
of them were committed to prison for' two months.
On Friday afternoon, about four o'clock, the
body of a man was taken out of the River, astern
of the Tender lying off the Tower Wharf. He had
a violent contusion on the right side of his head,
which it is supposed he received in falling over Bard.

ceded, upon the debt's bearing interest ; in which
case he promised to allow eighteen months' credit.
_But here a difficulty arises, what eighteen months'
credit means. Is it to be taken from the com-
mencement, or the conclusion of the year t If the
former, then the accounts are right, for he was
merely allowed six months from Christmas ; but if
the true interpretation of this expression is, that
the Plaintiff slsall have eighteen months' clear
credit from the expiration of the cttrent or
from the time when each article is furnished, then
they are wrong."
Mr. ROMILLY.•-••-" Many of the articles were
furnished in Ottober and December of the year."
Mr. LEACH..--.." There could be no misunder-
standing between the parties at the _time ; for Mr.
Godsall sent in the account, with the interest charged
in this manner ; and Mr. Lee, in one of his Let-
. ters, clearly recognizes this mode of charging the
interest." 4
LORD CHANCELLOR.—" Passing over this point
for the present, it is clear that this bond for 70001.
was intended as nothing more than a security liable
to an account, and it is quite plain that up to this
time, there is nothing to prevent the Court's look-
ing into these bills ; nor can the Defendant complain
of this, for it was his own bargain with Mr. Lee,
that the investigation of the accounts should be de-
ferred until some future time. But the question is,
Do the subsequent teansadions for ever close the
question of quantum meruit ? If a person has been
feeding the improvident extravagance and capricious
taste of a young man, the Court would certainly feel
an anxiety, that the reasonableness of his bills should
be thoroughly investigated before a Jury, but in a
commercial country like this, the point must not be
pressed too far. The Court must consider the hard-
ship of calling upon a tradesman, ten years after
these perishable articles of taste and fashion are
thrown aside, and the artists who construEled them
are in their graves, to make out to the satisfae.lion of
a Jury the real value of each particular material, and
, the fairness of the charges.
" Not a syllable passes between the parties con.
cerning these accounts until the first *instalment on
this Bond becomes due. Mr. Godsall then presses for
the payment ;-arld to be sure, upon every principle of
justice, he was entitled to expeet the payment of the
first instalment, as there could be no doubt, how-
ever much the account might be reduced, that that
would he due. A good deal of correspondence
then takes place between Mr. Lee and him ; the
former proposing that further time should be given,
and the latter at length consenting, solely ui4on the
ground of his account being closed and settled. He
makes this an express stipulation, and asks Mr.
Lee's opinion, whether he would be safe in accepting
this security ; telling him that the sum was of ma-
terial importance to his family. Lord Courtcnay
was at this time in possession of all the Bills) and he
refers them to his Steward, Mr. James, for examin-
ation; who makes dedunions to the amount of 1901.
and then Mr. Lee himself returns the Bills to the
Defendant, who consents to the deduaions, which
Makes the dear balance 82701. 7s. 9d. Godsall
evidently had no other idea in his mind than that
this was a final settlement of his account, and he
therefore accepts a new Bond for the clad amount
of his demand, by which the payment is postponed
until the year 1799. If Lord Courtenay or Mr.
Lee conceived there was any dedudion to be made
at a future time, why was a Bond given for the

Wednesday next will he the fifth day of Drawing.
