of the Pones, and Gas had no other excuse to make for tra
doting the characters of these who had patronised his pugilistic
talent thin that be was drunk, and there was not a *entente of
weak in abet which he had uttered. The affair IT mused much

PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 10:
The Fancy at Gosport, in the early part of list Week learnt
by accident that a fight was on the tapir between the Gook and
the Boots of an inn in the town; and, unwilling to lose the oppor-
tunity of witnessing a will, a plan-was adopted to make up a
purse, and bring the concern out as a prime treat. The business,
however, was samiind by the rum ones, and before the day of
fighting it was generally known that Grease and Bler4ing were
to peel:—these names it would same, were adopted by the vul-
gar, to avoid perionality. The scene of action was kept tw-
cret till Friday morning, when thousands repiired to Prieett
Common; led thither by the advance of the saedhj--eeerything
portended a bloody conflict ; and the beat and dust gave a tinge
of dun-emir to Meissen:hied crowd, much suited to the purpose :
to their excessive beat, Irritation was added, for the Quetta
Beaks, by their appearance, obliged the parties to shift the scene,
,sad, as on all occasions, Honey Island was fixed on for the
sot, when there must be a fight. Movements were made in
Alt direetien—some went through Porthester, others through
lesteshafe, and the Yea* part went by water : to tell the truth,
ilisdateden was lost, Gentlemen, tradesmen, and cadgers—heat,
dust, ink sad water, made up the order of the day; indeed; it
wed& hese presided flogarth to describe soludicrens a scene.
The rig big funned, Grease threw his lily *Wm and
was insteratly felliewed by Blacking. The parties pried, and
`both dfapleyed appearances of strength, with this exception,
Cookey was abort and fat, Blacking tall and thin.—lsle of
Ind* Hell seceeded Cookey, and Lamy, a brother shiner, picked
up Day and Meths.
ROUND I. At first the combatants were :Very ally—at length
Blacking let loose at his opponent's aictisalliaglifice j and In re-
turn Grease obliged him with some excellent giblet maw,' for by
a well-applied blow on the throat, Blacking was felled to his
mother earth.

In another part of our Paper will Be found an ac-
count of the proceedings of the Spanish Cortes rela•
tive to the loan contracted for by Government last
yeai, which the Finance Committee recommend the
Cones not to sanction, some of the articles being
contrary to a fundamental law of the Constitution.
The

Report gave rise to an animated discussion,
which was continued two days and still adjourned. It
is, however, generally thought that the Cortes will
sanction the contract.

SUSPENSION OF TRADE WITH CHINA.

•
.sve have already given the various accounts in.cir-
culation among the shipping at Canton of the affray
of the crew of the Toenze with the Chinese villagers.
The interest of the subject will plead our apology
for inserting now the subsequent version of it, ob-
tained from persons on board the frigate itself. It is
contained in a letter from Canton, dated January 16,
the writer of which visited the TOPA Zit frigate, for
the purpose of gaining correct information, and gives
the following as the result of hisinquiry :
" A party 0(14 men landed to cut wood and stuff for brooms,
and also to exercise themselves. They were warned off by the
Chinese (for they had committed many excesses before), but
without effect. They began then to attack the party with bam-
boos; and four of them being separated from the rest were most
severely handfed. The main body got some of the bamboos from
the Chinamen, and a general battle began. The Chinese now in-
creasing in numbers, and armed with freak bamboos, with iron
pikes and nails, gave the party belonging to the Topaze the worst
of it, every one of them wounded, but none very seriously; the
Midshipman who had charge of the party was also roughly used.
" The frigate, seeing the disturbance and the danger of their
people, got a spring on her cable, and opened her fare on them
indiscriminately. The consequence of this we know not, only
that the Chinese found several of her shot on shore, one of which,
we heard, was sent as a present to his Imperial Majesty. Some
say they only fared three guns, others six, and one that they fired
for kW an hour. However, as soon as possible, they landed a
party of marines, who charged and fired, and drove the natives
to the village. The Chinese only allowed that two were killed,
the others asserted six, among whom was a woman, who Ant
lest an arm, and throughout was the most desperate of any of
theia: party.
" A Chinese war junk was between the shore and the Topaze,
' and was observed Lindh/ her boat full of men with fireloeks ;
but a friendly shot soon brought them back. They said they
were going to quell the disturbance, but we rather think they in-
tended to help their countrymen.
" Another account was, that it originated in some of the men
having purchased a quantity of spirits, which they could not, or
would not, pay for. A third stated that they found a capstan
bat in the possession of the Chinese, which bad been stolen from
the Tepee the preceding day, and insisted on taking it away.—
Let the quarrel aria* how it might, I cannot but think they were
much to blame in suffering their people to land at all ; or, at
least, without a Lieutenant, or some Officer who could controul
them ; for what excesses will seamen not commit when on shore,
and when spirits are to be had ? The evil effects of this has been
experienced in many ports out of China ; and in this place, at all
times, the greatest cat* is necessary. •
" I cannot, however, reconcile to my mind that any one of
these accounts can justify the sailors, or save as a pretence for
their severity. •
" Iris said (and, perhaps, with truth), that Captain Richard-
son, in his oiSclal capacity, did not know the Typan of the Bri-
tish factory, nor the East India Company. It is to be regretted,
and the servants of the Company have bitter cause to lament,
that the Viceroy of Canton did not give credit to it : for whilst
Captain Richardson (we use his name for the ship) was the origin
of the whole affair, and the only aggressors there are upwards
of 1500 of his Britannic Majesty's subjects exposed to very ill-
usage, every inconvenience, if not danger : many of this number,
whose fortunes are at stake (the hard earnings of lung and ar-
duous services), by his acts may see themselves ruined by con-
duct which they could not controul."

2. Blacking, determined to return the favour bestowed on him
in the previous round, went vigorously to work, and bridled up
Cookey's ribs, but the polish would not exactly take—in a
struggle both fell.
3. In favour of Blacking, who placed a heavy blow on Cookey's
ivories, who slightly returned a little of the black* upon the left
4. Slaughtering work--both loose and furious—give and take,
and nothing else.
5,6, 7, and S. These rounds were rather to the advantage of
Blacking, who availed himself of his opponent's corpulency and
the heat of the day, to lay „both the jet and the brush on in no
small degree. A wag, however, observed, "it won't do upon
a greasy shoe."—.s to 2on Jetty.
9. Cookey seemed muck refreshed upon second wind, and,
like a brave Greasien (for be is a known enemy.to the Turkey
tribe) attacked Blacking, who certainly was indebted to his
ad-
versary for some excellent/Grad-name balls, which knocked' out
three of his teeth, and closed up the starboard.blinktr.
to and last.—The effect of Cookey's administration in the last
round insured, him the victory in this. The shining qualifications
of his opponent were rendered unavailing, for Greece bestowed
his culinary science in such an aristocratical manner on poor Bieck-
in*, that he was compelled to cry" Enough," after srovering
from a bread-basket imager, which trussed him up. - • #
Restaaxs.—The battle lasted twenty-five alipliteS, int was
put to bed at the Nag's Head, Horsey Island, but lies made his
appearance to-day. Both the men were much beaten.

A second fight took place between Crebbre and a navigator,
called Rom Bub, which was won by the latter In one hour and
four minutes. It was a slaughtering mill, foe five sovereigns.
