This &tube Right }ll, Sir Wu. Seery pro-
ceeded adjudicatiod- cases the following 3.--
Caroline, Doak thister..—This American Vessel,
laden with cotton, rice, &c. was bound from New
York to Cherbourgh at the time of capture. It ap-
peared that she took on board public dispatches,
which came from the French Ambassador and Con-
sul resident at the United States, addressed to official
persons in the Government of France. The Court
was of opinion, that a neutral merchantitian had no
right to take public dispatches of this nature, but at
the same time held, she hid not subjected herself to
confiscation, as in the cases alseady determined, where
the dispatches were taken on board at the colony of
the enemy, and coming to the mother country, and
therefore restored the ship and cargo, subject to all
the captor's expences.
Susan, Howard master —This American ship,
laden with wine, brandy, &c. was going from Bor-
deaux to New York at the time of capture. It ap-
peared that papers of a public nature were taken on:
I board at Bourdeaux, addressed to ofgeial persons at,
the Isle of France. Skip condemned and cargo re-
stored.
Banett master.—This American vessel,
with a cargo of various merchandize, was bound
from St. Domingo to Gottenburgh. Ship and cargo
restored, on payment of . the captor's necessary ex-
pences.
Thalia, Selliman master.—This American vessel,
' laden with wine, brandy, &c. ins bound from Bour-
deaux to Philadelphia at the time of capture (in via.
, lation of the Order is Council of the 11th of Novem-
ber). Ship and cargo restored, subject to the captor's
expences.

TUESDAY, APRIL 5.
Stadt Hamhurgh, Visser master.—This Hambro'
vessel, laden with wine, &c. was bound from Bour-
deaux to Tonningen, at the time of capture. This
was a further proof case in respect to the cargo, and
numerous proofs were exhibited for certain parcels of
goods, some of which were restored, and others con-
demned. •
Inger Margaretha, A slagson master.—This vessel,
laden also with Wine, was bound from Bourdeaux to
Lubec. Property pronounced to be Lubec, and Bri-
tish claimants and captors expences to be paid out of
the freight.
Mary, Bortil master.—This was a British vessel,
laden with coals and white lead, which had been de-
tained under an embargo, on suspicion of the cargo
being Danish property. Cargo condemned to the
Crown, and three months demurrage allowed for the
detention of the ship, to be paid out of the proceeds of
the cargo.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL G.
Union, Baker mister.—This American vessel, la-
den with various merchandize, was bound from Am-
sterdam to Madeira, and thence to Sant.' Cruz, at the
time of capture. The ship had been already restored,
and the question now was, with respect to the. na-
tional character of the per Son who claimed the cargo.
On the part of the captors it was contended, that he
was a butchman. The Court, however, was clearly
of opinion, that he was to be considered as an Ameri-
can, and consequently was entitled to the restitution
of his property.

sAVAIDAY, APRIL 9.
Flira, Christianson master.—This vessel sailing
under Danish colours, laden with flax, masts, &c.
was on a voyage from Riga to Carril in Spain, when
captured by the private ship of war Betsey, Captain
Harrison, and sent to Plymoutlt. This was a further
proof case as to the cargo, the ship having been pre-
viously restored, which proof the Court deemed suffi-
cient, restored the same, and reserved the question re;
specting the captors delay in bringing in the account
of sales.
Hope, Jones master.—This American ship, laden
with various merchandize, on a voyage from Bour-
deaux to New York, was captured by the privateer
May, Captain Vinnicombe, and carried to Falmouth.
It appeared that the carters had consented to the re-
storation of the ship and cargo, but before possession
was delivered, the captors obtained information that a
trunk, containing public dispatches, sealed with the
Imperial signet of France, and addressed to various
persons at Martinique, was secreted in the hold,
which were found. The Court condemned the ves-
sel, but there being nothing to affect the cargo, the
same was restored.
• ' MoNVAIC, APRIL 11.
Globe, Coffin master.—This American ship, laden
with tobacco and coffee, bound from Baltimore to
Amsterdam, was captured by the Venus privateer,
R. Jolly, Commander. Ship restored, and further
proof directed to be produced as to the cargo.
Nra. Sra. Conceiao, Cunka master.-1. his Portu-
guese vessel, with a cargo of wine, bound flout Lisbon
to Coruna, was captured by the Royal William man
of war, and sent to Portsmouth. Ship and cargo
condemned.

TUMAY, APRIL 12.
Diomede and Imperial.—This was a case respect-
ing the claim of a flag eighth share, set up by Lord
Collingwood, as Commander in Chief of a squadron
stationed off Cadiz; for a prize captured by Sir T.
Duckworth, 'and other Flavfficers under his com-
mand, who had directions from Lord Collingwood to
go in pursuit of the Rochefoit squadron. On the part
of- Lord Collingwood it was contended, that this was
to be considered as a special service performed by Sir
T. Duckworth, acting under his orders, with the in-
tention of returning to join the squadron as soon as the
same was accomplished. On the other side it was con-
tended, that this was a distinct service. The Court
took time to consider of its sentence.

It is a known fact that several persons have sus-
pended their intentions to build houses, until after the
determination, next Tuesday se'nnight, of the City
Lottery. This postponement will hardly be deei e I
unwise, when the great expense of the various mate-
rials for building is opposed to the very immaterial
case of a Ticket. in the City Scheme.
Several days before the Drawing of :the Ingot,
Boydell's, and Bowyer's Lotteries, the Tickets rose
from three to five guineas ; and on the morning of
drawing, not one to be had at any price. Hhawsev
and Co. having every prospect before them, that the
like circumstance will occur in the City Lct.ery
demand for Tickets and Shares being unusually great)
they beg leave to recommend to all those who pur-
pose to have a chance, not to delay buying. The pub-
l'c utility of the plan is such as cannot fail to recom-
mend it to the notice of the Citizens of Loudon, as
well as having a chance worth the purchase. No. 26,
'Cornhill ; No. 52, Charing Cross ; and St. Margaret's
Hill, Borough.
Wednesday night the shop of Mr. PEARCE, Shoe-
maker, in Hanway-yard, was broke op*. r For-
tunately a lamp-lighter, in going his rounds, disco-
vered a hole in one of the shutters, large enough to
admit a boy, which induced him to give an alarm, and
the thieves, who were then in the shop, opened the
door and effected their escape before assistance ar-
rived, taking each a parcel of goodlin a handkerchief.
Yesterday evening, about dusk, a very decent look-
ing elderly woman, seeing a street-door open near
Thayer-street, Manchester-square, went up stairs
without being observed. On going out she was seen,
and -said that she had been in quest of a person she
supposed.to have lodged in the house. Shortly after,
ihe was followed; and upon search being made about
her person, it was found that she had stolen some ar-
ticks of wearing apparel from the house.
Last night, at nine o'clock, as a post-chaise stopped
at the door of Mr. *Namara, in thirWeston.street, a
fellow cut a trunk from behind the chaise, and carried
it off some considerable distance. Upon being pursued
he dropped the trunk, but was taken and lodged in
Mary-la-bonne watch-house.
