HOLSTEIN C. VEIWI?OLT.

The Plaintiff is a young person from Germany ;
the Defendant is a Merchant of London. This was
an action upon a contract, under which the Plaintiff
bqund himself in the penalty of 20001. to serve the
Defendant faithfully as a clerk for six years, from
May, 1803 ; for which service, during the first two
years, he was to receive 1261. per annum, and 1501
por annum for the remaining four years. The claim
was a quarter's salary, amounting to 371. 10s. and the
plea of the Defendant was neglect in his duty by the
Plaintiff, and a discharge from the service in conse-
quence.
Mr. Gaastow, for the Plaintiff, said, that the duty
of his client was to keep the cooks, and conduct the
correspondence of the Defendant. He said he should
prove that this duty had been faithfully performed.—
There was no necessity for proving the contract, be-
cause there was no plea anon:squaw?! upon the record.
Lord ELLENBOROMH observed, that it was for the
Defendant first to shew the grounds of the dismission
of the Plaintiff.
Mr. SCARLET'—" Not my Lord, after the Plain-
tiff has opened his case ; and besides, the nature of
our allegations is negative?'
Lord ELLENBOROUGH--0 Do you prove the neglect
in his duty, by s.hewing.affirmatively What he did ?"
After Mr. SCARLETT? in compliance with his Lord-
ship's directions, had addressed the Jury,
John Gifford, apprentice to the Defendant, was
called, who depoiea to some trifling irregularity in
the Plaintiff, as to the hours of attendance, and as
the entries in the ledger. He added, that the
Plaintiff used to come sometimes in a short jacket,
with spurs, accoutered for the field.
On his cross-examination he said, that the Defen-
dant broke open the Plaintiff's desk, and threw out
his papers ; that the porter was ordered to make no
fire for the Plaintiff as for the rest of the clerks ; that
the same person was directed to lock him into the
counting house, if he should be there at the time of
shntthtg up the premises. He alto deposed, that it
would not require a pair of panniers to carry the
' German letters to post for the last year—and, in short,
• that all the foreign correspondence, from the state of
• the Continent, had ceased, on which account the De-
fendant had little or no employment for the Plaintiff.
After the evidence had proceeded thus far, the fol-
lowing arrangement was made to settle the affair be-
tween the parties, and to avoid the necessity of bring-
ing actions progressively each quarter, for the sums
to be due on each contract. The Plaintiff to take a
verdict for his claim, arti to refer the question to a
Gentleman at the bar, as to what gross sum should be
paidtotheDefendant wholly to cancel the engagement.

WEST' INDIES.

BRIDGE-TOWN, (BARBADOES) FEB. °7.
Sir ALEXANDER COCIIRANE, in the Belleisle, re.
turned to this anchorage on Wednesday last from off
Martinique, and during that and the following day,
the Ramifies, York, and Defence, of the line, with
the Argo and Latona frigates, also camp into Carlisle
Bay. The return of the Rear-Admiral with so large
a part of his squadron has excited much inquiry and
conjecture ; the generally received opinion at first
was, that such full and correct information had been
obtained of the enemy's squadron as removed every
idea of their tieing destined to this Country ; but
nothing has transpired- to bear out this opinion, and
all that now seems to have occasioned the unexpected
withdrawing of these ships from off Martinique, is the
accidentally falling foul of each other of the Rami-
lies and the Defence, by which they both sustained
some trifling damage. •
Accounts from Bermuda, as late as the 11th inst.
give assurances of an amicable termination of the dif-
ferences between England and America. Among
the causes which have chiefly influenced the more
temperate discussions on the part of Congress, is said
to be that of the Northern States having openly
avowed a determination to separate from the Union
in the event of a war between the two Countries and
throw themselves under the protection of Engl4d.—
The Statira frigate had arrived at Bermuda, and a
vessel. was dispatched thereupon to England, with
infinMation of Mr. Ross's reception in America? and
being engaged in the objects of his missior..
The Hussar frigate, which came out with the last
Cork convoy and proceeded to the Southward with
the trade for those Colonies, arrived. here on Thurs-
day from Demerara,

SWEDISH STATE PAPER.

" The irruption of the Russian troops into Fin-
land, and the incendiary proclamations circulated in
that province, were already known to the King, at a
time when the Minister of Russia, M. AlopeT, had
not yet made any communication that could prepare
the mind for such intelligence, and when no couriers
np.
dispatcha— from the Swedish Ambassador at
Petersburgh had al-rived since those events. 'Consi-
dering, therefore,. that Minister as deprived of his pub-
lic charactef by the insidious aggression of his Court;
ai a dangeroUttnemy, by the revolutionary princi-
ples with whichjAhat aggression was accompanied ;
and as a hostage for the Ambassador whose liberty
had in all probability been violated, his Majesty or-
dered on the 2clof fvfaiehithat a military guard should'
be placed over M. Atolittis in his house.
" This measure; which in every other circumstance
would have been extremely repugnant to the King,
has been fully justified by the event : a courier from
St. Petersburgh, who arrived at Scyneldskar on the
22d. and set out on the 28th of February, by Tornea
for Stockholm, having been arrested en the 7th of
March, a mile from Harnosand, with the following
dispatches :

lIAMBURGH, MAY 23.

From many quarters in Westphalia we have re-
ceived the most melancholy accounts of the inunda-
tions, and the ravages caused by them. All the dis-
tricts of the Rure are under water, villages and mills
have been half swept away.
Tile Corry:panda:: states, on the authority of letters
from Constantinople, that the truce between the Turks
and Ru,sians had been prolonged for two months,
under the mediation of the French Ambassador, Se-
bastiani. It adds, that the Divan was occupied dur-
ing two days in discussing the demand of France for
a passage for her armies through the Ttirkish territo-
ries to Persia, before it agreed to it.
Tho Nurembetx Gazette states, that letters from of.
facers in Marshal Davoust's army mention. that that
corps had received orders to hold itself in readiness to
break up for Southern Russia. The army will collect
at Astracan, and march through Persia to the East
_ .

Count Ranznu, commanding the Danish troops in
Fionia, has published a proclamation, announcing that
the Militia, who had been ordered out for the defence
of the Island, might remain at home until further
orders. _ _

It is stated in the Correspondent, that Bosnia is about
to be occupitti by Austria, agreeable to a convention
with the Porte.
The Grand Seignior has ordered a fresh levy of
150,000 men in Asia.
The King of Prussia lately remitted 100,000 ducats
in specie, to the French Intendant General Dame, in
part of the public contribution.

PRIVATE LETTER.
ig STocßwtoz44, MAY 29.—The Russians are de-
feated in all points in Finland, Aland, Goallaud, &C:1
In tho.former they are in fall retreat.".
" MAY SO.--Intelligence has been just received
concerning our success in Finland General sl.rsa-
SPOII has advanced to \Vasa. The retreat of the
enemy is rapid, and, of course, confused. The brave
Fins incessantly harass and annoy them. They have
taken several convoys, and cut off considerable de-
tachments. The Russians have been obliged to aban-
don the greater part of their artillery. By the end of
June we expect that they will have completely eva-
cuated the province. Two days ago, 27 English ves-
sels entered this port, being the first lance the breaking
up of the ice.
" A strange report has prevailed here for the last
four or five days. It is said, that the flag of truce
which came from Zealand brought proposals of ac-
commodation from his Danish Majesty. It is said
that he is willing to admit the English into Copenita•
gen, provided they will engage to defend it against
the French, and guarantee the possession of Norway
to him. You will best know whether there is any
foundation for this rumour . for the arrangement to
which it refers cancer's.; England more than Sweden.
If you will not allow us to take Norway to ru• selves,
which I make no doubt we shall be able to do as soon
as we get rid of these Russians, I hope you will secure
ins some other indemnity for Pomerania."

HAGUE, JUNE S.

On Monday last Prince Dolgorucky delivered his
letters of credence to his Majesty at Lon, as Minister
Tlenipotentiary and Ambassador Extraordinary from '
the Emperor of Russia. The Ambassador at the
same time delivered to his Majesty a letter in the
hand-writing of the Emperor, and presented to him
the insignia of the Russian Orders of St. Andrew, St.
Alexander, and St. Ann. The Ambassador's suite
consists of no less than eighty-four persons.
The Hereditary Prince .of Wirtemberg was ex-
pected at Munich on the Ath ult. and his marriage
with the Princess Charlotte of Bavaria was expected
to be solemnized on the 10th of the same month.
On the frth ult. the Minister of Finance published
a Royal Ordinance, signed the preceding day, per..
mating the exportation of butter, cheese, and geneva,
to the ports of allied and neutral powers. The vessels
irr'oyed in experting these articles are, however,
r ohibited fran carrying letters or passengers from or
nto the ports of this country, under the penalty of
oufiscaticn, and the perpetual disqualification of the
rcighters or owners -oxporting these products in
utttre. On receiving licences for this traffic., they
are also to give security that no commodities what-
'Aril- shall be imported in their vessels.

INsPECTOR-GENER AI. OP JAILS IN IRELAND'S REPORT.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT, referring to the Report of the Inspec-
tor-General of Jails in Ireland, gave notice that he should, early in
the next Session of Parliament, call the attention of the House to
that subject.
Sir A. WELLESLEY stated, that the notice of Governmert
I had been already called to the subject, by the very Report alluded
to, and that every attention should he paid to it.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT said, it was thuch more satisfactory
for him to know that this was the ease, than that the matter
should remain in his hands. He gladly resigned it to Gentle men
so much better qualified to give effect to their inquiries. All his'
object was, that prisons should be mfeguards to the public, not in-
strtunents of oppression to individuals.—Adjourned.

ALTONA, MAY 21.

The last intelligence from Norway comes down to
the 25th of April. There had been an affair between
the Swedes and the corps of Colonel Stafrelt. We
made 300 prisoners, according to the official paper
published at Christiana. It was this affair which gave
rise to the report, that has been circulated of a deci-
sive battle.
We are assured that the Swedish soldiers cried cut
to the Norwegians, " Friends, do not fire on un, frr
we do not wish to do you any injury." Whether
this anecdote be true or not, it is certain that the
Swedes skew but little ardour in the cause, which is
.
rather that of England.
The English who occupy the Danish Islands of
St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John, make strict
search to discover Danish, Dutch, and French pro-
perty; they have required of the inhabitants an oath
of neutrality, and those who would not submit to
take it, have been deported. Colonel Schclten, a
Dane, accused of connivance with the inhabitants, in
concealing the property of the enemies of England,
has had a quarrel with an English Officer ; he sent
him a challenge, but the English authorities imme-
diately caused him to be sent away.

regulations respecting Agency Offices, about to he
established in different parts of the Empire by the
Bank of France. No office of this description can be
set up without the approbation of his Majesty in his
Couccil of State. The Bank is to possess the exclu-
sive privilege-of issuing notes at its own establishment,
and by the medium of these agencies, but no issue can
take place, except upon a resolution of the General
Directors taken after consulting the Chamber of Copt-
merce. The country notes are to be payable at the
different agencies where they are issued, hut may,
under ordinary circumstances, be exchanged at the
Bank for money, or its own notes. The agencies are
to consist of a Director, not more than twelve, nor less
than six Administrators, and three Censors.

Barbadoet Papers to the Bth ultimo, received' in
town this morning, contain an account of a gallant
and successful attempt upon the Island of Mariega-
lante, by tlle CERRNIWS, CIRCE, and CAMILLA frigates,
and the EXPRESS brig ; the whole cotmnitided by Cap-
tain ?RN of -tise-Cratcx..._ •

The Island was filthily taken by sdrptise, and

mein' ; and was undeitaken, as appears, without any
previous concert with, or instructions from, the Rear
Admiral: The only defence attempted was with a
light field-piece, commanding tke principal street,
but which the enemy was driven from with pikes and
fixed bayonets before they could load it a second time,
and being closely pressed, surrendered at discretion.

This capture, which, we are happy to say was at-
tended with scarcely any loss, is chiefly important on
account of the situation of the island, which is on the
south-west of Guadaloupey and affords an excellent
station for our vessels that are employed in the bloc-I
kade of that island. Mariegalante used also to afford
a safe and commodious shelter to the Enemy's priva-
teers, and, in that point of view, the reduction of it
will be attended with considerable advantage.
These Papers mention the arrival of the Syrene and
Italienne French frigates at Martinique, with troops.
Two other French frigates were expected there, and it
was also supposed that the Rochefort squadron would
touch at that island:

DOCTOR HOWELL'S POWDERS,--FITS.
EPILEPSIES, Convulsions, Hystericsand all kinds,
of Fitt, radically cured by Dr. Howell's Powders : The effi-
cacy of these invaluable Powders has been abundantly proved by
a great number of cures performed onpersocs of both sexes afflic-
ted for a long series of years--and, after taking a variety of Medi,.
eines without finding any relief, were deemed by the Faculty ab-
solutely incurable.
The few following cases are selected from a very long List,
which may be seen at the Doctor's house, and are attt seed by such
respectable characters, that the smallest doubt cannot remain in
the mind of the tno.t Incredulous

The son of Mr. Truman, of Giltspur.street, aged 18 years, had 1
ikiling Fits from his childhood, but Is now wstored to perfect !
health by Dr. Howell's Powders, which were particularly recom-
mended by Dr. Turner, Fellow of theitoyal College of Physicians,
London, by whom they were recommended. Mrs. R. Green, of
the Savoy Precinct:w is for upwards of 20 years afflicted with Con-
vulsions and Falling Fits—altho' she had been an in-patient of St.
Bartholomew's and Guy's Hospitals, had never received any be-
nefit till she had taken Dr. Howell's Powders, which perfectly
cured her. Witnesses, the Rev. 1. Hunt, Minister of the Savoy.
Mr. Daniel Wix,of West Horseley, Surrey, near 70 years of ages
was more than 17 years so grievously afflicted with Convulsion,
and Falling Fits, as frequently to have ten in a week, and, after
every means were tried in vain by the most eminent of the Fa.
rutty, was completely cured by Dr. Howell's Powders. Witnesses
the Rev. Mr. Fullenun, Minister of West H.raley.—Miss Ansi
Williams, of Laytonstone, Essex, had violent Fits from her in.
aney, till she waa to years of age, when by taking Dr. Howell's
Powders she was perfectly cured. 'Witness the Rev. Mr. Whale.:
Minister of Laytoustone, who, for this great blessing, publicly
returned thanks to the Atancsxr, in his Chapel on the 80th Cl
November, 1799.

at forty shillings per gross, and the second for thirty-
six shillings per gross on a credit of six months, and
with a diseount, for money; of one• shining and six-
pence per gross ; and these prices we understand to
have been the current prices of the trade for the last
four years. The market price fcir Oatmeal in 1801,
as is to be seen in the returns, fluctuated between se-
venteen and twenty-three shillings, and averaged dur-
ing the twelve months nineteen shillings , and for
Scotch barley, between fourteen and twenty-two 1
shillings, and averaged during the same period eigh,
teen shillings ; yet the first article is charged by the
Apothecary General, throughout the year, at twenty-
six shillings per cwt. and the second at twenty-seven.
shillings per cwt. The tbtal of the charges for this
description of articles makes• comparatively but a
small part, certainly, of the certified amount of the
Apothecary General's bills ; yet it confirms our opi-
nion of the inefficiency of the check on his charges,
and of the great loss which the public has sustained
tiom a loose observance of the order of the Treasury
directing the Physician General and Surgeon Gene-
ral, in considering the justness of his prices, to pay
attention to the delay of payment to him.
(To be continued.)

About a fortnight ago, a Farmer in Tough, in
Aberdeenshire, one of the people called Quakers,
having renounced that faith, was baptized, with five
of his children, by the established Clergyman of that
parish.
Tuesday a servant maid in St. James's-Park, en-
trusted with the care of two children, incautiously
suffered a little boy to ride upon the back of one of
the seats, when a cloud of dust suddenly blowing in
the child's face, he let go has hold to rub his eye,
and falling backwards, pitched upon his head, and
fractured his skull. This is a very common way of
amusing children in the Park, and it is to be hoped
the above accident will prevent it in future.
A few days since as some children were gathering
primroses and violets, on a sunny bank in the parish
of Waiburton, near Arundel, oue of them, the son cf
Mr. Randal, was bitten nu his arm, by an adder, the
if,!aom of which caused such a violent swelling and
inflamation, that the poor child's life was considered
iu imminent danger. A young man went afterwards
to the spot, and with a stick destroyed three of these
venomous reptiles.
