Exclaange..—Dublin I..ondno, is* is.

On Saturday we announced that an embargo had
been that day ordered on all Pruffian vette', in the
ports of this country. The intelligence, when it firft
tranfpircd in the City, caufed nn little furprize, and
the general Tiellion was—What can have occa-
honed this ? It was foon made public, that Pruffia,
after accepting Hanover, had agreed with France to
affift in excluding our commetce from the Conti-
nent. Not only all the ports of Pruffia are (hut
againil us, but all which Pruffia and France can in-
fluence and cnntroul, fuch as Bremen, &c. &c. We
underhand that Hamburgh is already occupied by
the Prulßans.
On Sunday the 3oth ult. about iota o'clock in the
afternoon, a fudden and peremptory order was eons•
municated from the Briti(h Vice-Conful. defiring
them to quit that place in twelve hours, and the
Elbe without delay. This intimation was given in
confequence of an official notice by the Pruffiaa Con-
te!, declaring that all the ports of the Prufiian do-
minions, and all ether ports in the North of Europe,
where his Pruffian Majefy poffiffes any controol,
were to be fliut againft Britt& veffels and Britifh ma-
nufafures.
On receipt of this intelligence, which was brought
over by Mr. Gloats, Jackson, brother and Secre-
tary to our Minifler at Berlin, the Order in Council
was iffued, of which our Readers will find a Copy
in our fief page.
The confternation mentioned at Hamburgh by the
refolution come to by Pruffia, was very great. The
boom which ufed every night to be (hut was on this
occafion left open. Some (hips failed in ballall only,
one without ballaft ; tome with all the cargoes they
bad carried out, others half unladen. So preffing was
the order that the Officer of hit Majefty's floop Srz.
' which. in company with a brig cutter, had gone up
the Elbe at far as Stadt, to prate& the (hipping coming
doves, declared that any veffel left behind, after the
given time, he mull burn.
Yeaerday eight veffels arrived in the River from
Hamburgh. They form part of a fleet of 24 fail of
Brit& veffels which were lying at Hamburgh. The
greater part of which have force arrived, according
to ow Port letters of this day.
One of the (hips coming down got on (bore on the
Demi& fide of the river, and was detained on account
of Come difpute about falvage. Three large Ruffin'
Pflsips were left behind, having been completely onrig-
ged, and therefore unable to get off. In a form
fame time ago littera! (hips, five of them Briti(h, were
drive% on (bore, and therefore muff be left behind.
Heligoland was the place appointed for the rendez.
vow, and there the eight Teals that have arrived
waited Come time for the Sry and brig, with the reft
of the convoy, but not being joined by them they
made the bell cf their way home. The reit are
/saltily eapated.
About a fortnight ago :coo Pruffian troops, with
a large train of heavy artillery, pa fed down the Elbe
(or Stadt and Cuxhaven. On Monday lafi the mat.
ten of tome of the &haft wads landed at Coxhaven,
where the Pruffians are employed in railing two
formidable batteries, each of 25 pieces of heavy ord-
nance. On Tuelday they wilhed again to go on (bore,
but were refufed permiffion by the Commander of
the Sry floop.
Great apprehenfions were entertained at Hambnrgh
that all &WA) property would be confifcated. It is
fated that the quantity of Briti(h property now there
is not fo confiderable as it was lately. The Britifh
fubjeCts are apprehenfive for their perfonal fafety.
It was reported that the whole of the Corps com-
manded by Marfbal Alio 'WU is on its march from
the neighbourhood of Franckfort towards the Elbe.
It is even laid that not only Swedifh Pomerania is to
be occupied, but Hollein, and every port or place
within the reach of French and Pruilian troops,
through which Britith manufattures could be intro-
duced io the Continent, and with which &kith vet-
fels could trade.
Thefe Ipeculatinns, gloomy and difagreeable as
they are, cannot be conlidered very improbable after
what we have already fern.
It is fuppofed that for the prefent the foreign Mails
will be fent to Hufum.

It is very much feared that the war with the Mah-
Tiql St ECt is renewed. Intelligence to that diet) is
bid 1,, b„,ve been br ought by a paffenger, arrived from
Calcutta in the Hamburg!' Ihip, JOHN PARISH, which
failed from that place ad December. This Gentle-
men landed a Kinfale. He flares that SCINDI.II has
rej:lled fa joie all the overtures made to him and his
adherents by Sir G. BA I cow. in confequence of which
the ;thole of the European forces had been marched
up the country, on their way to the Upper Provinces.
unfavourable event had naturally produced
cnorefputsding elrefls. The 6 per cent. paper of the,
_„ ran, had fallei to a difeount of 12 net tern.

DUTCH AND FRENCH JOURNALS.

The latter to the in, and the former to the 5Th
ifl. have cline to hand.

The Menittur of the 30th ult. contains the French
account of the anion in the Well Indies, and a pre•
cious record of mill and accuracy it is! Mon!icor
Cuca'Lr, who commanded one of the corvettes
which efcaped, flutes the force of the French as be.
ing only four fail of the line. L'lmrsatams is neither
named nor included in his line of battle, and he
magnifies that of the Englifh to oust! With this
immenfe fupetiority, according to the failhful report
of this Officer, our vinory, it teems, was hardly
earned. It is not difficult to difcover that there are
many interpolations in this difpatch. Mo 4 of what
is laid refpcning dates, and the numbers of the ene-
my, is obvioufly falfc, and meant to miflead.

On Saturday, about twelve o'clock, his MAJESTY
arrived at the Q2een's Palace, in his travelling car-
riage, where he was received by the his,
of Yoex.
Soon after two o'clock, Sir JOHN LUBBOCK was in-
troduced to his MAJESTY by Earl MOIRA, upon his
being created a Baronet ; after which his Maissry
held a Privy Council, which was attended •by the
LORD CHANCELLOR, Earls MOIRA and C AAAAAA 011,
Vifcounts Sit/MOUTH and How r cx (Mr-Garry) Lords
GINNYILLK and H. PITTY, and Meffrs. Fox and
WINDHAM.
The Council fat till near half pat three o'clock,
when the embargo to be laid on Pruffian ',effete was
fent off to the Castile fifty.
Saturday morning Lieutenant DAL,, of his Ma-
jelly's (hip DIADEM, arriveel at the Admiralty with
difpatehes from Sir AGNS POPHAM, announcing the
capitulation of General J . and the troops under
his command, who had retired from Cape Town
into the interior. An officer arrived at the fame
time at Mr. Windham's Office, with letters from Sir
D. BAIRD t and about two o'clock Mr. WINDHAM
fent the following Note to the Lord Mayor :
" Downing-Street, April 5.
MY Loan-1 have the fatisfadtko to acquaint your Lord-
Chip, that Difpatches have been received from Lknt General Sir
D. Bastin, dated at the Cape of Good Hope, Jan. 36,1806, fisting
that General Jansen had, with the forces under his commands
farrendered by capitulation on the 18th of that mouth —I am. ice.
(Stifled) "
Lieutenant DAL, carne home in the Racehorfe
tranfport, and was the bearer of reverel letters from
the Officers of the expedition. General Jansen made
fume inefficient refiftance, but finding his followers
difcontented, anti without fupplies, and the natives
hoftile to the Dutch interell, he agreed to furrender
upon the ordinary terms of fecurity of perfonal pro-
petty, &c. and ftipulating for himfelf an immediate
conveyance to Europe.
Lieut. DA LI left at the Cape, the Diadem (Sir H.
Pormam), 74 guns; Diomede, so; Leda, 38; and
Narciffus, so ; all well ; and we have the pleafure to
add, that our troops were likewife healthy.

HORSIBIONCIII,LAVE IN THE 110tOUGH,
SATURDAY, APRIL 5.
So univerfal was the intereft excited by this trial,
that as early as fix in the morning the Salon Houfe
war beret by a .concourfe of perform. As the hour
approached which was appointed for the opening of.
the Court, the impatience of thole who had been fere-
ral hours in waiting for admittance was Inch, that
the numerous Conflables in attendance were fcareely
able to preferve a pafrage for the Law Officers and
others, to whom ingrefs was allowed; few other per-
form were permitted entrance, and they confided
principally of the Dukes of Suffix, Cumberland, and
Orleans ; Lords Portfmouth, Grantley, Say and Sele,
Montford, Deerhurft, and Lord G. Seymour; Sir
John Frederick, Sir John Shelley, Sir Thomas Tur-
too, Sir William Clayton, Sir J. Mawbey, Count
Wnmnzow, &c.
The prifoner, Mr. Patch, was concluded into .
Court Conn after nine o'clock, arid took his Ration at
the bar, attended by two of three Friends.
Precifely at ten o'clock, the Lord Chief Baron
Macoom •L*, took his feat on the Bench. So exceffive
was the crowd become in the Court at this time,
wedged by an a&mblage that preffed at the door-
ways from the exterior, that it was Tome time before
a Jury could be got together. Thofe who were in
Court could with difficulty, though aflifted, on an-
fwering to their names, move towards the box allot-
ted to them.
Mr. Patch. peremptorily challenged three Jurors,
viz. M. James Brown, of Batterfea ; John Tanner,
of Grove-lane ; and James Kite, of Putney, tailor.
The following Jury was then fwnrn :
Charles Smith, of Menem . lam Wedge, of Wandfirords •
Thomas Daly, of Barnes Thomas Banta, of Merton
iJohn Leighton, of Putney George Moore, of Putney
ohn Cape, of Putney George Smith, of Putney
faac !tiler, of Mudd Dan. Lonvon, Wandfwerda
Henry Wood, of Putney Thomas Chapman, of Penny.
Mr. Kean., the Clerk of the Arraigns, then limed
to the Jury the nature of the indiament. It charged
the prifoner Richard Patch, on the z3d of September
left, in the parifh of St. Mary, Rotherhithe, upon
Ifaac Blight made an alTault,ana with a piliol lhot at
him, giving him a mortal wound, of which mortal
wound he died the next day, and ft, the faid Ilene
Blight, of his malice aforethought;did kill and mur-
der : to this the priloncr pleaded Not Guilty, and pat
bimfelf upon the country. i
Mr. Puocar briefly opened the cafe on the part of
the prcfecution.
A moll profound filence now prevailed, and a very
ftrong intereft was excited, when
Mr. GAREOVE addrelled the Jury in a moll eloquent
fpeech, on the part of the profecution.—They were
engaged in a molt awful and important enquiry,
which would require their molt particular attention.
They were not to exped that he fhould, by reafoning
or argument, endeavour to lead their minds to the
conclufion which his own mull neceltarily have ar-
rived at with refped to the prifoner's guilt, but, on
the contrary, would attend to the evidence, and con-
fider what he fhould fay merely as an index to enable
them with greater facility to ptirfue it in detail. He
proceeded to Rate the relative fit uations in which the
deceafed and the prifoner flood to each other. The
deceafed Mr. Blight lived in the neighbourhood of
Greenland Dock, where he carried on the bufinefs of
a Ihip•breaker. In the year 1803 he had for a menial
fervent a filler of the prifoner. In the fpring of that
year the prifoner came to vifit her, and the requefted
her mailer to let him remain in his fervice. He re-
prtfented himlelf as in difireffed circumflances, and
compelled to leave the Welt of England, in confe•
queme of a difpute about tythes, and that he would
be glad to have any. employment hl' which he could
get a living. He engaged in the fervice of Mr. Blight
at firlt merely for his viduals and drink ; afterwards
he had a falary of Sot. a year, and his board, and
then tool. a year, hoatding himfelf. Io 1805 Blight
became fomewhat embarraffid in his circumllances,
and executed a deed of competition to his Creditors ;
but, in confequence of one of them not choofing to
fign the deed, it occurred to the deceafed that it was
neceffary to mica his property again! his Creditors,
who were become impottunate ; and he did that
which cei tainly could not be Ilrialy jultified. He
pi ep•recl a written in liniment, by which he meant to
make the prifoner, then become his bofum blend, the
proledor of his property. The manner this was done,
was by a nominal bill of fele, a bill of parcels of the
Ito oittire of his houfe, and a letter to the prifoner, by
which lie informed him that lie would get the City of
I.ondnn to renew the leak of his houfe in hi, name.
lu July, iBos, Mr. Blight went into the cousitry ;

I

lint, before he went, he entered into an agreement
with the pallier, in which he ilivol.ted that he
(Blight) (horrid retire, and the rainier conduet the
butirrefs, widt a third (hire of the profits, for which
he was to pay 12501. a rum which it fbould feem a
man in the ptitoner's then fituation would find a dif.
&lilt), of obtaining. It would be found, in pniot di
Ide, that he paid tin more than 2501. and, for the
remainder, gave him that which he pallid upon him
as efecority for the money. It was a draft cn a Mr.
Gon.rn for toool. to be paid on the rfith of Septem
ber. He pretended that he had fold an ,Rate in De•
Topfhire to Goom, and that this toool. was the per-
chafe money, which had lain in his hands. W4n
the time of payment arrived, the prifoner reprefentrid
to the deceafed that Go rm was not in a condition tO
take up the note. He withdrew the draft from Mr.
Blight's Bankers, in order to fuhftituta another pay-
able on the 20th. On the t,th of September Mr.
Blight left his home to vifit his wife, then at Margate,
and of courfe expeeed that the draft would be paid:
the next day. After he was gone, the prifoner wrote 4-,
to the bankers, Mars. Willis and Percival, with
whom the draft was lodged, Rating that Mr. Goons .•
would not be in a condition to face it, and therefore
deriving it might not be prefented. On this fame igth
of September, a day of vaR importance in she me-
lancholy feene, the prifoner was thus left at home in
the houfe of the deceafed, with no other perfon than
Either Kitchener, a female fervent. The family of
Mr. Blight, it would be found, ufually (pent their
evening in the front parlour facing the Thames. The
prifoner was on the evening of the 59th in this room.
About eight o'clock lie defired Either Kitchener to
go out and bring him fixpenny worth of (liters. She
had not far to go, but before the returned this re-
markable circumflance occurred, namely, a gun or
malice' ball was fired through the 'butter into the roona
where the family nfually fat. The prifoner jumped
up and went to the door, but found nobody there ;
he then went to the gate, where he found a man and
his wife, who would this day be called as witneffes.—
The Learned Counfel Paid, he charged, and be un-
dertook .;
to fatisfy the Jury, that the (hot fo fired on
the rods was not the flint of any enemy to any perfon
in the houfe, but was fired by the prifoner at the bit.,
as the fiat Rep towards the cataßrophe he was medi-
tating. He &mid demonfirate that it was impoffible
for any one elfe to have fired it, fof in the front of
the houfe was the wharf adjoining the Thames, and
where the prifoner ran firß out to without finding
any body. At the gate there was a man and his
wife, who would Rate that they heard the report of
the gun, but that it was impotfible for any one to have
efcaped without their teeing him. die• would thew
•hat it was not poilible the gun could have been fired
from the river, becaufe the elevation would not have

. _
admitted of the ball's (biking the fltuttcr in the di-
reetion it did. The Learned Connfel then detailed

the circumfianees which will be found in• the evi-
dence applying to this firtt tranfadion. He then re-
lated, that the prifoner wrote to the deceafed at Mar-
gate, informing him of what had paffed, and defiring
him to return home. Mr. Blight returned to town
on Monday the 23d,and the firft enquiry he made was,
whether Goom had paid the toool. note? The pri-
loner led him to believe it was forthcoming, and be
went from Deptford to London to procure it, with an
exprefs inhibition, on the part of Blight, not to return
without it. He, however, did return without the
money.—The Learned Counfel having thus far Rated
the introduenry parts of the cafe. defcribed the cis-
' cumßances which took place on the'. evening of the
23d, when Mr. Blight was Ihot—the manner of coin-
' mining the deed—the condud of the prifoner after-
wards—his behaviour to the perfons who offered their
affiflance—his infinuations with refpet to Webfler's
fon, or Clarke, being the murderers ; but, above all,
he inferred the utter impoffibility of any one but the
prifoner having fired at the deceafed. This he made
manifeß, not only by Rating the fubttance of the
evidence of the perfons who were parmg by the pre-
miles in various diredlions, when the report was heard,
end who law no one efeape, but alto by exhibiting a
model of Mr. Blight's bottle andlard, by which it
appeared that any one attempting to efcape molt have
been dilkovered. The remainder of the Learned
Counfel's obfervations will be found detailed in the
teflim‘ny of the witueffes—they related chiefly to his
demeanour fubfequent to the murder,and particularly
as to a pair of white flockings having been found in
his bed-room with the fides dirtied, as if by walking
pn the timber wharf without (hoes. He alto Rated
that a ramrod of a pißol had been found in the privy.
He concluded an addrefs to the Jury of two hours,
by praying that the Searcher of Hearts, film whom
no fives were hid, would enable them to difcharge
their duty to the public and the prifoner, by a verdict
confonant to the principles of justice.
He then proceeded to call the witneffes on the part
of the Clown.
• Richard Fenn was fiat called. He laid, he kept
the Dog and Duck public houfe, near the premifes
of Mr. Blight. Either Kitchener brought him in-
formation of the wound Mr. Blight had received,
between eight and nine o'clock of the evening on
which the murder was committed. In confequence
of this intelligence, the witnefs went to the /mule,
and finding both the gates fattened, he was under
the neceffity of leaping over them : he then ap-
proached the door opening upon the wharf, but the
witnefs could not charge his memory, whether he
found it open or Phut. When he entwed the back
room, he law Mr. Blight feated in the arm chair, to
the left of the fire place. The witnefs was acquaint•
ed with the room which the bullet had entered be-
. fore. Mr. Patch was (landing there, but nobody
etre. Mr. Blight was fitting in the chair, reclining
on the arms. Mr. Patch aiked the der:eared, whe-
ther he fhould fend for Mr. Jones, the ftirgerin ? and•
in confequence, the witnefs went for him. Mr. Frntt
Raid with Mi. Blight nearly the whole time until he
died. He expired feven or eight minu'es after three
nn Tuefday, the day after he was wounded. On his
croft examination, he laid, that he was fetched by
Either Kitchener, and upon his coming into the room
where Mr. Blight was, he law Patch, but he was not
rendering any affiflance. •
Mr. Aihley Cooper, a furgenn of eminence, was in-
terrogated by Mr. Comae. He Paid, he was defired,
about three hours after the wound was received, to
attend the deceafed. lie w3b ling on the flour of
a room, whicis the witnefs uncle:ll°nd to be called
the back parlour. Tice apJrtment being very much
crowded, and Mr. Blight being in a very incor,re-
nient fituation for examination, he ordered him to be
