FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4.
This day the Right Hon. Sir W. SCOTT proceeded
to the adjudication of the following Cases :
Dageraad, Janssen master.—This Hamburgh vessel, in ballast,
front a port in Norway to Archangel, was captured by his Ma-
jesty's frigate la Loire, Alex. Wilmot, Esq. It appeared in this
case, that the vessel was to take in a cargo at Archangel, and was
so sail therewith for the port of London, under his Majesty's
licence obtained for that purpose ; which, it was contended on
the part of the owners, protected the ship in question.—The
Court was of opinion, that there was not sufficient evidence of the
farts and circumstances attending this transaction, and therefore
directed further proof to be produced within two months.
luffrouw Johanna, Janssen rwaster.—This vesstl, under Prus-
sian colours, on a voyage from Embtlen to Harnhurgh, was cap-
tured in the Watt Channel, off Newark, on the 221 of September
last, by his Majesty's gun-brig Safeguard, Lieut. W. Field, corn-
tuaaier.--Ship and goods on board condemned.

Extract of a letter from Gottenburgh, dated the
14th of October :—There are no less than 34 gun-
trigs, frigates, and other ships stationed off Malmne,
to protect the daily passing fleets through the Sound,
co their passage to and from the Baltic ; so that our
toast is free from any danger of the enemy's ships.
A letter from Rio de Janeiro of the 6th August
eltes, that Sir SIDNEY SMITH had dispatched the
BUFORD man of war to Monte Video, with a faithful
statement of the whole of the transactions in Spain,
up to the latest dates received by him frDm England.
A messenger went in the BEDFORD, charged with dis-
patches from Sir SIDNEY and the Portuguese Govern-
ment at Rio Janeiro, the substance of which is sup-
posed to relate to the opening a commercial and
Madly intercourse with the South Americans.

Ertract of a letter from Captain ROBERTS, of the
ship Tom, of Liverpool, to his Owners, dated Octo-
berlo:-1, I beg to inform you the ship Tom, under
my command, is still lying at Long Hope. We sailed
en Thursday last, and was out all that night ; on
Friday morning it blew hard from the S. E. The
Snake sloop of war, made the signal to bear up and
rendezvous at Long H4e again, where we anchored
at three o'clock that evening ; on Saturday the wind
from the Eastward, and Sunday morning at S. W.
The Commodore made the signal for all masters to
repair on board, when he informed us a Danish pri-
vateer, a smack of 2 guns and 40 men, had on Fri-
day morning cut out of Widswell Roads, the ship
aaliOrt) of Liverpool, and a sloop ; after a consulta-
tion the Commodore thought it prudent to endeavour
to recapture the above vessels, and at eight o'clock
:,h morning he got under weigh, the wind at S.W.
promising that it he did not fall in with them by
gonday evening, to return. We have had dreadful
weather, with strong gales of wind, but thank GOD
'are all well. Ships lying here arc the Sam, HODGE,
afehester ; Bee, STONEDOUSE ; five Swedes, and two
English brigs."
The Earl of BERKELEY had lately the following
'err perilous adventure : Walking in the deer park
son. a child, his Lordship was attacked by
an American deer, whose horns he immediately seized
*lib both arms, and kept fast hold thereof when thrown
down and trampled on by the furious animal. In this
11
situation, he desired the child not to be afraid, but to
take from his (the father's pocket) a large knife, and
therewith to stab the deer, and to cut his throat if pos-
-3,i!)le. The son, worthy of such an intrepid sire, obeyed
his father's orders; but had not strength enough to
serer the wind-pipe, and completely cut the deer's
throat. He did, however, by frequent stabs, occasion
Tecreature m lose much blood, and to run away.
! m.d BERKFI EY was quite exhausted ; but, we are
,
ii-Py to add, 11.45 recovered from the injury received.
