THE BALTIC.
On board the ----, in the roads of Mal/roes ILE
4th of June 1808.

" On the evening of the nd of May, we sailed from Gotten-
burgh, in company with about 50 vessels, principally Swedish,
which were bound to Stockholm, and under the protection of one
sloop of war and a brig. We continued our voyage, without any
interruption, through the Cattegat, till about three in the afternoon
of the i:Stb, we pas:,,sl the Sound. At Elsineur, about ten or
twelve Danish privateers reconnoitred us, and as soon as the two
armed vessels were in the Sound, the privateers came out, and
captured the six hindmost of our vessels. In the evening we ar-
rived between the islands Huen and Landskrona, and cast anchor
there, under the protection of two ships of the line.
" On the morning of the 26th, the Danes transporte 1 two of
their prizes, which were too heavily lads.e to proceed to Elsinetir,
towards Copen!aagen. But as they approached our convoy, our
ships of war attempted to recapture the prizes. This occasioned
the Danes to run them ashore : they themselves proceeded to
land in boats. As it was not possible to get off these ships again,
we caused them to be set on fire.
. " In the afternoon we weighed anchor, .and. towards evening
arrived here, and cast anchor in Roads; a south-east wind
hindered our proceeding. ba the mean while our convoy was
reinforced by an English brig which was lying here, and twenty
Swedish gun boats;
" Yesterday, the long-wished for north-west wind sprang up,
and at four o'clock in the afternoott we were under sail.. Nothing
occurred till see had reached the south end of the island of Salt-

holm, and the vicinity Of Dragoe (between five and six miles from
Copenhagen) : here we were met by three Danish cutters, v 5 gun-
boats, and nine privateer boats. A frigate which had been formed
out of a West Indianian, and a brig, were also visible at a distance.
'rke merchantmen were of course obliged to draw back, and the
Swe:dish gun-boats advanced, and placed themselves In a position
for as engagement, which ive expected to see take place every mo-
ment. Our Commodore, would in that case probably have made
' a signal for us to past on the left side of the combatants ; cwt this
was prevented by a sudden calm; and the merchantmen were new
, forced to stretch all their canvass, in order to reach their former
station in the Roads as quick as possible. After the Swedes had
remained some hours in front °film Danes, they returned with-
out hiving made any attaek,firobably b:cause they were aware
that if :he battle hid en elided in favour of the enemy, the wkole
convoy would have fallen into his hands,
as If it should teetr td the Danes to attack its here in the r ',ads,
not a vessel would eicape, since we could not take refuge in the
harbot:r, for that does not Contain tibia thsn five or six lett wa-
ter, arA all resistance is out of,the queStion, the Danish force heirg
so much greater than ours. We must in the mean wbi!c await
the result with patience. One fourth part of oar convoy will
certainly fall iota the hands of the Danes. 'I bat such vessels as
are taken will be condemned is subject to no doiibt sehateier.—
The passing Ellineur without paying toll is alone a sufficient cause.
Besides, a Court hats been established at Cop.enhagetil which sits
'veil Tuesday; and Which declares all c.iptered vessels to be.
prizesiivithout distinction, since it is too well known, by meatus
iof the English Orden in Council, that no vessel dares make its
apicarance without an English licence."

" Malmo Bay, June 5.
" On Tuesday, at three P. M. we got under weigh, and
cleared Copenhagen, and nearly the islai:d of Saltbolm, but when
off Dragoe we discovered 23 gun-boats, each with two ::4-poi -
ders and four swivels, and about sixty men, strmehlng in 'battle
array against us, besides several privateers. signal was
therefore made by our Commodore to put back. . vet:, i day we
could see twenty-three Moregun-boats, two bomb skips. 244 two
yebecks, go out of Copenhagen and to join the armament at
Dragoe—and this molting their 64 gun-ship got Under weigh.•
We may therereall extra to be taken ix Mir b.ry, as there is no bat-
tery to protect us—and the 40 Swedish gun-boats that are in port
are of no use. Theyare chiefly manned with the new conscrip-
tion men, many of whom do not know how to load a gun or a
musket."

Dispatches were received yesterday at the Admi-
ralty from Sir J. WARREN at Halifax ; also from Sir
A. COCHRANE, stating the capture of some of the ene-
my's privateers In the West Indies.
Captain WELcit is appointed to command the RA..

, LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE £4.
• MATUKW v. GREENE.
lids was an action brought to recover a reward of £2O.
ft appeared that a person of the name of Davidson bad lost a
berme; supposing hint to be stolen, he advertised, offering a reward
of 20 for the horse and apprehension of the thief. The plain-
tiff was a Police (Meer, who apprehended the thief, recovered
the horse, and delivered him to the defendant, who was &scribed
to the advertisement as the person to make application to. On
the defentlaues being called upon for the reward, he refused to
FIT it,
PARKE, Counsel for the defendant, contended, that he was
only the livery-stable-keeper' and had not any interest in the
Morse, and gave no directions for the advertisement, and his name
was may made use of on aecount of the notoriety of his stables,
and that the plaintiff could have no cause of action against httn.
He ought to have brought his action against Davidson, the owner
of the horse, and the person who authorized the advertisement.
The Jury found a verdict, under the direction of the Court, for
the defendant.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE 23.
ALBIN V. AMRTIMER.
This was an action of assault and battery. The parties are ser-
tants in the family of the Duke of Marlborough. The Plaintiff,
who Is hairdresser to the Duchess, was described to be a French-
man,very old and infirm, and the Defendant, who held the office
of butler to the Duke of Marlborough. was a young athletic man.
On the 12th of Ifiebroary last, the Plaintiff went into the plats.
road, which was exclusively the apartment of the butler. 1:e.
bad previously rendered himself disagreeable to the butler by a
sort of crooked policy, not unlike the finesse of Bonaparte, which
It was believed he had exercised t. the prejudice of the Erg'ish
iservantc. The Defendant wishing to get rid of his visitant, told
bint to quit the room, and a conversatifin ensued not very orna-
simnel to the French or English languages. The French valet
observing a sort of ferocity (purely Engfish) about the butler,
sowildered it -afer to retire, but in making a grand retreat lie insi.
diously shook his stitk, a menace which the butler could not cri.
lure. The butlee then seized the valet, gave him a rush, and bore
dff the stick in triumph, exclaiming—" When a Frenchman shakes
Isis stick at an Englishman, I'll show you hew the Englishnal.:
• serves the stick!' The action was .amtdiately suited to the word;
the Indignant butler broke the stick, and put it into the fire. The
Learned Counsel for the plaintiff at.t icipated gr.evous wounds and
bodily injuries inflicted on the suffering valet, but this turned out
to be no more than zeal in the cause of his client, for no real in-
try appeared a have been sustained.
The Learned Judge lamented that the time of the Jury should
be occupied by such an action, but as a rush was an assault in law,
they were bound to find a verdict for theplaintiff, with the slightest
damages.—The Jury found a verdict for sixpence damages.
THE EARL OF :kiANSFIELD 7r. GURNEY.
This was an action to recover 441. 16s. for potatoes, supplied to
the defendant by the Earl of Mansfield. There was no defence,
and the Jury found a vi edict for the plaintiff.
