the English ship Sally, John Jacksdn master, has been
taken by a Danish privateer, and carried into Born-
holm. The Duchess of Mecklenburg Schwerin,

Ist instant.
According to the last returns made by the Russia*
Ministry, the Russian navy consists at present of 43
sail of the line, 34 frigates, 59 cutters, brigs, &c. and
226 smaller vessels. Of this force 20 ships of the
line and four frigates were in the Black Sea ; and be-
sides them, 11 line of battle ships in other seas.
According to the last accounts from Batavia of the

Letters from Madrid state, that according to re-
ports cidkent in shaLcity, the King of Spain is to cede
Navarre and Catalonia to France for part of Portu-
gal, and that the Queen of Etruria is to have the re-
mainder of the latter kingdom.

After this Paper had been at Press for some time
three more of the Gottenburgh Mails. arrived ; from
which we make the following Extract :
GOTTENBURGII, L. 23.—The English men of I
war, the Stately and Nassau, of 64. guns each, which
arrived here last week, have brought the sum of
one hundred thousand pounds for the King 41
Sweden, which is now landing. These ships are.
to remain in these seas through the winter, if the
weather will permit. It is said that one of their first
operations will be to relieve the twelve sail of Englishl
merchant vessels now lying in Carlsham, such can-
not come out ;Ur fear of the Danish men of war, gun
boats, &c. which are in that quarter.

and styled the Edinburgh regiment; is on its passage
from Leith for the Isle of Night. The It battalion
of this old regiment is in the.Weethaliete, at St.
and continues very healthy.
The 73d Highlanders, cotiiimii4ea by Colonel
MlQuAlutte, have received prders to• march from
Perth to Dundee.
Though so short a tintelas elapsed since the 84th
returned from India, yet so popular is it in its native
county, that it has already got some hundreds of men.
The 77th regiment is completing fast, and making
ready for service under that able Officer, Colonel
Wsirrxeocxx. This regiment, with the 68th, 87th,
and 88th, will be among the first to go on service.
The wind having continued favourable, we hope
that the hussar brigade is by this time far advanced
on its passage to Spain. We will anxiously expect
to hear of their landing, cavalry being so much wanted
there at present.
Both Sir JOHN MOORIk;'S army and Sir DAVID

Lieutenant-General the Earrof ROSSLYN inspected

' corps Went through their different manceuvrings to.
I the entire satisfaCtion of the General, and made a
grand appearance. The. Major-General put them
through several masterly evolutions, in which the
regiments manifested their high state of discipline.
One of their principal was a sham fight, according to
the disposition of the corps of British and French at
the battle of Vimiera, in the course of which pro-
digies of valour were performed on both sides, and
ithe Royals remained masters of the field. -

AFFAIRS OF SPAIN.

Last night we received Dutch letters and papers
to the 27th ult. containing intelligence from Bay-
onne on the 15th and from Paris of the 21st June,
also German Papers to the 23d. The accounts from
Bayonne state, that on the 15th ult. the Spanish De-
puties were assembled, and that the Spanish Minister
of Finance had been nominated their President, who
opened the business on which the Members had been
convened, with suitable solemnity. The proceedings
were chiefly formular. On the same day it seems
DON JOSEPH issued his first grand act, which, accord-
ing to etiquette, abounds with much grace and pro-
mise. The following is a copy of the
London, England, 1808-07-01

COURT OF KING'S BENCH. UNE $O.

THE MAYOR OF LONDON V. HESSTON LONG, RIQ.
This was an action brought by the City of London
to ascertain their right of quaying on the West India
Docks. They have had one trial, but a second having
been granted by the Court, an application was this day
made for that trial to be a trial at bar. The motion
was acceded to, and the case set down accordingly.

BLEWETT D. MARSDEN.
Mr. PARK moved for a rule to sheer cause why the
Plaintiff in the above action should not be at liberty
to sign judgment, for want of a plea, and the Attor-
ney be made to pay the costs of the sham pleas. It
was an action upon a bill of exchange for £4.76, to
which the Defendant had pleaded a judgment reco-
vered for 42000 in the Court of Exchequer, Ireland,
and also judgment of the Court of Pied Pbedre for
iIQOO, and £5OO costs. Mr. PARK said, such pleas
were a disgrace to the records of the Court, and by
so means reputably to the practitioners who counte-
nanced them. The only excuse for Gentlemen who
signed them was, thpt they did it as a matter of course,
without reading them.
Lord ELLF.NDOROUGH agreed, that the plea respect-
ing the Court of Pied Poudre was a disgrace to the
records of the Court, and said, that Gentlemen at the
-Bar should not countenance the ingenuity of their
clients by putting their names to such trash.—Rule to
skew cause granted..
1 THE KING D. C. ROBINSON.
This was a rule calling on the Defendant to shew
cause why a Criminal' Information should not be filed
against him for hiving sent a letter to tke Recorder
of Liverpool, reflecting on the Bench of Justices there
in the adreinistration of justice, and charging them
with partiality against the Poor, Sec.
Mr. SCARLET, on behalf of tke Defendant, expressed
his client's sincere sorrow for the error he had fallen
into on this occasion, and retracted the improper ex-
pressions he had made use of against these Magis-
trates, whom he admitted to be men of honour.
The ATTORNEY-GXNERAL, on behalf of his clients,
accepted. the Defendant's apology, and consented to
drop the prosecution.
' ,

The Act of Parliament which received the Royal
Assent last week, for supplying the Town of Col.
chester with water, from works to be erected accord-
; ing to the plan of Mr. Donn, Engineer, for that pur-
pale, will be of infinite service, not only to the inha-
bitants for domestic uses, or in case of fire, but also
to his Majesty's extensive Barracks at that place—
For singular as it is to relate, out of nine or ten wells
sunk fir the use of the soldiery, not one of them pro-
duced a soft and wholesome water.

capture of Biorneborg. The remains of the Swedish
army, commanded by General Klingspor, which had
been thus far driven back, have suffered much in the
defence.pf Biorneborg. They have lost a Colonel, 3
Staff-officers, 9 officers, and 350 men, and the bag-
age, and have been forced to retreat toWasa, where
however, he will find he has been flanked by the
column of General Tutschkow, and he will have con-
sequently no other resource reraaining than to sur-
render, since the passage across the Gulph of Bothnia
.into Sweden is impeded by the floating ice—and in
retreating by Borneo, along the uninhabited coast of
East Bothnia, all his melt must necessarily perish 1
with hunger.
" Thus has our worthy leader answered the confi-
dence of the Monarch. On the one hand, he has
added to the Empire in tl:c space of exactly one
month, with the least sacrifice possible, eight pro-
vinces, the population and culture of which are not
inferior to that of the best Ritsiiun Governments;
and on the other hand, the conduct of the troops, the
severe discipline they have maintained, and the un-
interrupted continuation of the occupations and indus-
try of the people, have interwoven new laurels on the
wreath et Russian victory—mere especially in a land
where the events of the years 1710 and 1741 did,
indeed, furnish most convincing proofs of the bravery
of the Russian,:, but where it was reserved for our
times to chew him to the inhabitants, as a man, a
protector, and a benefactor.
Swcaborg is still wanting to us. Should this be
taken also, the conqueror may then fairly undertake
the capture of Gibraltar—for there exist only two such
tiwtresses, raised by nature, which can resist the mo-
I dem art of war."

ASYLUM FOR THE DEAF AND DUMB•

The Anniversary. Festival of the Friends and Sup-
porters of this benevolent Seminary, was held at the
City of London Tavern, Bi shopsgate-street, on Monday
last, his Royal Highness the Duke of GLOCCESTER,
Patron, in the Chair.—Having witnessed the rise and
progress of this more than commonly interesting In-
stitution, it is impossible to avoid remarking with
pride, as Britons, and the most heartfelt satisfaction
as lovers of our species, and as Christians, the gra-
dually increasing support which it receives. At first,
las if doubtful of the relief that could be afforded, the
Public lent a sparing and cautious-aid ; but, as time
Unfolded and practicably demonstrated the benefits
derived from instruction to this suffering mass of hu-
man beings, unfortunately a numerous class, that gene-
rous liberality, the characteristic of our country, has
yearly displayed itself in emulous exertions among
all ranks to vie with each other in this race of bene-
volence. The too long neglected Deaf and Dumb,
now reckoned among their Friends and Patrons some
of the most exalted and enlightened ckaracters in the
nation, and the contribution of a single Guinea an-
nually constituting a Governor, affords an opportu-
nity to persons in the middling walks of life to become
so. We never witnessed a more numerous, or more
respectable assemblage of the humane, than on this
occasion. After the cloth was withdrawn, and some
loyal and appropriate toasts given from the Chair,
sixty-one most interesting Children, male and female,
the scholars now under tuition, were introduced. In
their progress round the room, they exhibited speci-
mens of their writing and cyphering, answered ques-
tions put to them viva voce, and in writing ; and
some of them stood upon the tables and prononnced
a few lines as an Address to their Benefactors, with a
propriety and feeling that excited wonder and admi-
ration. It was a most affecting exhibition, and the
dignified attention and inquisitiveness of the Royal
Chairman added not a little interest. Upwards of
£BOO was subscribed, a considerable part of it In aid
of a Fund to enable the Society to complete a build-
ing already begun • an object indispensably necessary
to the extension of! the advantages of this School to
the numerous applicants for admission ; but it is an
object of magnitude, and still requires very extensive
pecuniary assistance !

Tickets. Those persons whose fancy leads them to

disappointed. This, and all parts of the Lottery
business, are particularly attended to, by RICHARD..

MEMEL, APR:I. 9.

On the morning of the ith inst. the ship Agatha,
of Luboi:k, Captain C. hoop, had the misfortune to
strand. The vessel had been purchased by Lord
Royston, at Liebau, in order to transport himself and
other Englishmen, to a Swedish port. At first, it
was erroneously said, that Baron Stedingk, the Swe-
dish Amba.ssador at St. Petersburg h, had availed
himself of the ship for his return. With much dif-
ficulty they were saved yesterday, the Captain and
three sailors. Mr. Holliday, Don Paroira, a Portu-
guese messenger, Mrs. Pollock, the lady of Colonel
Pollock, in the English service ; Mrs. Barnes, with
three children. Among the unhappy sufferers, arc
reckoned at present, Colonel Pollow (Pollock), Lord
Royston, Messrs. Focke, Renny, Bally, Backer, and
some sailors.

" His Majesty the Emperor and King NAPOLEON
testifies his satisfaction with the conduct of the hitherto
Papal Troops. These soldiers shall not in future receive
orders either from priests or women ; soldiers should only

they shall no more return under the command of priests.
The Emperor and King will give them Generals to conduct
L them who shall be worthy of their bravery."

The accounts from the South of Europe repeat,
what we were enabled by another channel to lay
before the public some time ago—that the PonTE has
consented to allow French troops to march through
the Turkish territories, for the purpose of attacking
the British possessions in the East-Indies. They are
to march from Dalmatia to Astracan, where they
are to be joined by the Russians. The same accounts
state, that a further armistice has been concluded
between the Turks and Russians.- From all this it
might be inferred, that every idea of dividing the
Turkish territories is for the present abandoned.—

TRIM', MARCH 14.,

The English Ambassador, Mr. Adair, who was at
Viennas sails this evening in an Austrian ship, for
Malta. Trieste has now more the appearance of a
place of arms, than a peaceable treading town. The
garrison has been doubled, and all the points where
a landing might be practicable, are defended by bat-
teries. The English squadron is cruizing on the
coast of Istria, and every day some of their frigates
if the wind permits, come up almost close to our har-
bour. The Russian ships of war are at anchor, but have
taken such a position that an attack on them would
cost the enemy dear, as they would be exposed to all
the fire of the Moles, which have batteries of 9.4. and
36 pounders. An English frigate is now cruizing at
the distance of a short league of the Mole of the Old
Lazaretto, and chaces by her boats all small vessels.

VENJCE, MARCH 24.

that the Rochefort and Toulon Squadrons, consisting
of ten ships of tl:e Rita, several frigates, and other
ships of war, arrived safely at Corfu on the 25th of
February. On their appearance the enemy's ships
immediately left those seat.
Other accounts add, that the saki combined
drens, after a few days, sailed again from Corfu, pro-
bably to strike some important blow.

ell 'red in the registry as the sole purchaser. After
his return to Clonakilty, the irregularity of his mind
increased, and in the October of 1805, it became ne-
cessary to confine him in the proper receptacle for
,persons in his condition, and in the mean time the ma-
nagement of his affairs devolved on the Defendant.—
During his confinement, one of the tickets of which
he had the sixteenth, was drawn a prize of 20,0001.
The sum of 12501. which that share produced, was,
after the usual deductions, paid to the Defendant in
Dublin—and half of that sum he applied to his own
use, upon the rightof his asserted partnership. Within
a short period after this occurrence, the Plaintiff was
so improved in his health, as to be judged competent
to the management of his own business—and not con•
curring in the Defendant's alledged share in the lot-
tery transaction, he brought his action to recover the
sum which the Defendant had appropriated to his
own purposes.
The defence was in substance, that previously to
the drawing of the lottery having commenced, the
shares already stated, were found among the papers
of the Plaintiff, when the Defendant was present.—
The Plaintiff then offered the Defendant a share in
the tickets, which he with reluctance, and not until
urged by the Plaintiff's wife, accepted of.
In support of this fact, it was asserted the Plaintiff
had frequently acknowledged the fairness of the De-
fendant's claim to whatever the tickets may produce;
and that he had only resolved on instituting the pre-
sent action upon a knowledge of the incompetency of
his wife to give testimony in the transaction. There
was one feature in the evidence, however, which
made considerably in favour of the Plaintiff. It was
proved that, the Defendant had not charged himself
with the original price of the tickets, until the Decem-
ber following, the period of their havinv been drawn ;
and it was not until then that he desired the entry of
the circumstance, which he had made in his own
writing, should be transferred by the clerk into the
ledger. Much ability was manifested by the Counsel
on both sides, and an able and distinct charge closed
the trial. The Jury, after a short deliberation, gave a
verdict for the Plaintiff.

It is scarcely possible to describe the' devastation
that has been committed by the late 'storm. The
workmetl arc busily employed in building a .strong
wall, from the corner of the Parade to the door.of the

completed, but the Pier will take a long time to com-
plete, as there is not of the parapet above six !yards,
but what are laid even with the walk, except a small
abutment at the end. The sea made a complete pas-
sage between, from the place where the eapstern was
erected to the Jetty Head. It is the intention of the
Commissioners for making a new l'ier, to extend it a
considerable distance in a direct line; in short, the
devastation that has been committed must be seen to
be understood. Many thousands come down to view
the place.

reason to believe that the American packet Saint

ANOTHER LE'VFER, SAME DATE.

" Last night arrived the ALPHEA cutter. Lieut.
WM. Gisnoxs, from off Cadiz, with dispatches, which
were forwarded last nighl.to London. She left the
squadron the 14th ult. then off Cadir, except two of
the frigates which were in the outer harbour, at an-
chor among the Spanish men of war. At the time
the cutter sailed, the English troops, it is reported,
were not landed, but this is doubted, as we have since
heard that they are.
• It appears, from the best intelligence we can ob-
tain, that on the 9th June, about three, P.M. the
Spaniards opened their batteries on the French squa-
dron, and that at night the firing ceased, and com-
menced again on the 10th and 11th ; after which the
Frei.ch transported their ships farther up the river,
where the Spaniards have a battery of 50 guns, be-
sides bombs and a number of gun-boats : and, it is
said, that they had sunk two vessels for the purpose
of impeding their passage farther up. The ,Spaniards
had three men killed and three wounded the first
day, but none on either of the other days. It is like-
wise reported, that the firing ceased before the cutter
left the squadron.

66 It is also reported, that the French ships hare a
great deal of money on board, and that it appears to
be the wish of the Spaniards to reduce the ships with-
out doing them much injury.
64 The ALPILEA was off Lisbon the 12th ult. for
which place it is reported that the Portuguese and
Spaniards are marching an army of 60,000 men.
" Came in the• SwALLow, of 18 guns, from otF the
coast of Ireland."

accounts of the progress of the Patriots : in the mean
