Keys, Colonel Ramsey immediately fent infor-
mation thereof on board his Majefly's (hip YORK,
when all the boats in the fleet were initantly armed
and manned, and fent in purfuit of them. The
brig was loon re-taken, and proved to be the
Spanifh brig El Sufannz, th et had failed• the day
before, but the felucca got off by a breeze fpring•
ing up. On the approach of the boats the priva-
teer's men quitted the brig, and went on board
their own veffel. The force fent: in the boats
amounted to 150 men, under the command of
nine Lieutenants.

MAY 16.-.--Capt. CAKFRAF, of the fchooner Fly-
ing taken on the zsih of March lalt, and
carried into Cuba, arrived at Port Antonio in the
General Simcoe. He mentions, that, while at
Cuba, he law a Gentleman from Carthagena, who
gave an account of the capture of the Galatea,
litiLLA it, by the Sheerback, a privateer belong-
ing to Mr. ()Logy Ea, after a fevers anion, in which
Capt. Hu xxxoti was moft feverely wounded.
The tender of his Majerfty's fhip Yore!: arrived
on Thurfday evening, having had an anion, which
lafted two hours, with a felucca, which outfailed
her, and got away. Lieut. SMITH, •who com-
manded the tender, was wounded in the anion.—
The felucca mounted one gun.
Thurfday the Spaniard who was found guilty
at the lalt Mixes of being concerned in the mur-
Jer of Capt. Ty EC K, was executed on the Parade
in this town, purfuant to his fentence.

The Princefs Augulla brings 223 (laves.—She
touched at Martinique, and is eight days from
that &incl. During her Ray there, his Majesty's
fhip MONTAGUE arrived from Lithan, and, after
landing 30.2 men, proceeded to fea again imme-
diately ; but the place of her deltination was not
known.

The Robert, and the George, Git.t.v, v, are the
(hips mentioned to have been attacked by two
Spanilh feluccas off the Weft-end on Monday fc'n-
night. They began the attack at day light, and
continued till half-pall feven, when they made off,
and went in chace of a fchooner to windward.—
At half-palt eleven they bore down again, with a
feeming determination of boarding both Chips; but
by a timely fire, and the fuperiotity of the Ro-
bert's guns, they were again beat off, and at noon
ruulain to anchor under Point Negril by South,
where, if not intercepted, they will in all probabi-
lity do a great deat deal of mifchief to the trade
on that fide of the Wand.

The Aufpicious is feven days from Martinique ;
at which place Admiral Ducxwonr H had arrived
having previoufly captured all the Danifh Hands :
and it was there reported that the Admiral, with
his fquaciron, would fail from thence in a few
days againfl Guadaloupe. Accounts had alfo
reached Martinique from England, that General
Nuc EN T had been appointed to fuecced to the Go.
vernment of this Wand, in the room of General
KNox.

Yeflerday a Court of Directors was held at the
EA-India Houfe, when Colonel Rostrx rTEN
was (worn in Governor of St. Helena. The TM AM Es,
of Imo tons, Capt. R. ‘VILLIAMS, was taken up
for Bombay and China. The Court adjourned at
fix o'clock till to-morrow.

Many letters received from India by the (hips
lately arrived, agree in (Wing -the probability of
our attacking the Mauritius, and fome of them
fpeak in confident terms. It is well known that
(hips of obfervation have been for finite time off
the ifland.—The Dutch gave this place the name
of Mauritius, in honour of Prince MAURICE, their
Stadtholder; but they abandoned it, on their ac-
quifition of the Cape of Good Hope. It then re-
mained uninhabited till the French landed there
in 1720.

The i nh abit an cs cfWeymouth were rather alarm-
ed on Monday, by a heavy firing at fea, between

The Kwox firft got fight of the collier, and taking
her for an enemy's tranfport fired to bring her to,
which the collier repeattd ; a running fire com-
menced and continued for above an hour, when
the KNOX came along fide to board her; being re-

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCLRY,SATURDAY, AUGUST 8.

bANKRUPT PCTITIONS.

• A petition was prefented to fuperfede a Commit--
lion Wilted againft a Bankrupt of the name of Lei-
cefter, of Liverpool, on the ground, that the dock-
et (truck by the petitioning creditor, under the iirfl
Commiffion, had not been followed up within the
time prefcribed by the praftiee of the Court. It
was fuggeßed in anfwer, that the witneffes who
were to have proved the Al of Bankruptcy, had
been tutored by the parties wifhing to fue out the
fecond Commiffion, and that the delay had arifen
front the neceflity of fecking Tome other means of
proof ; and that notice of this had been given to
the adverfe party. The lubjeet matter of the pe-
tition was not particularly important, but a variety
of extraneous matters were introduced refpefling
the praftice of the Court, relative to bankruptcies.
Lord ELDON, in a very long fpeech, adverted to
the different topics which had been mentioned.—'
His Lordfhip obferved, that there were more frauds
committed by Solicitors fraudulently condufting
Commiffions of Bankruptcy, th.,r. by traders who
fraudulently became bankrupts ; was lorry to
fay there were many Solicitors deemed refpeftable
men who would think nothing of fraudulently keep-
ing back evidence to prove a amkrupter, under a
Commiffion taken out by another, in older that
they might be able to fuperfede it, and obtain to
themfelves the profits of conduCting it. He feared
that with regard to the Bankrupt Laws, the doors
were opened fo wide that nothing but the power
of the Legiflature could ever be able to lhot them.
After taking a review of the whole cafe, he was
of opinion the application fhould be rejected.
The Solicitor role, and addrefGng his Dirdfhip,
Paid, his chief °Nett in bringing this matter for-
ward, was to inform his Lordlhip of the illegal de-
mand of certain fees paid at the Bankrupts Office,
upon obtaining writs-of fuperfedeas.
Lord &Dols laid, that fuch an obfervation, fo
irregularly made, was highly unjuft, and little Ids
than a flander on the peofons who had the ma-
nagement of the bufincfs of the Bankrupts Office.
He looked with a furpicions eye upon the motives
of the man who made fuch an application the me-
dium of introducing a complaint, with which it
had no connexion. His Lorelfhip added, that if
there was any ground of complaint, and itt was
brought before him in proper form, he fhould
how to treat it.
TUESDAY, A IIdUST It.
• The LORD CHANCPLLOR this d.ty difpofed of a
number of petitions, many of which were of a very
intricate nature. An application was made to fat
afide a commit:Eon of bankruptcyunder the follow-
ing circumflances :—Of the Firm of Marfden and
Tongue, thefe merchants in England having a
houk in London, there were two other partners,
Mr. Brafchi of Leghorn, and Mr. Marcolini of
Naples. The houfe in London having committed
an aft of bankruptcy, one of the creditors ftruck a
docket againft the two former, and proceeded to
open a commiulinn, but took no further Reps till a
fecond commit-lion was iffued out by another cre-
ditor, and the parties advertifed as bankrupts in
the Gazette. In fupport of this lei commillion,
it was Rated, the objeft of the former creditors
was to remove the adminißration of the commif-
fion to Manchefter, and that it could not hold good
in point of law, as neither Meffrs. Brafchi nor
Marcolini had been included in it, though partners.
A creditor, it was argued, may, it neceffary, ftrike
a docket againft each of the partmrs Ivarately,
but was not authorized to make their demand the
joint debt of any two of them. Mr. Picorr cited
fume precedents in fupport of this pofition, and ar-
gued that therefore the commitlicn ought to be
I uperfedtd.
To this it was replied, that there was no impro-
priety in removing the commiffiop to Manchetler,
as the claims of the creditors there and in Liver-
pool were 80,0001. whereas mot more than five or
fix thoufand pounds were due to merchants in
London. With regard to the two names omitted
in the commiflion, the anfwer was that it was un-
avoidable, as it did not appear that either of thefe
Foreign Gentlemen had committed an aa of bank-
ruptcy in England.
The LORD CHANC&LLOIL faid, there might be
cafes of partnerfhip in which all the parties could
not be immediately included in an Aft of Bank-
ruptcy ; but it was not yet clearly flew n whether
Mr. Layton, the prcfcut petitioner, was or was not

the. creditor of Brafchi and Marcolini, as well as
of Madden and Tongue. It vas impoilible for
him to let two commiffions of this kind exift at
the fame time; and before he expreffed any opi.,
nion upon the fubjeCt, he willed to have a petition
againft the other petition before him., that he may
have an opportunity of heat ing the cafes of both
parties argued together. One obiervation, how-
ever, he had to make at prefent, was, that it was
time, by fome means or other, to put an end to
that increafing fcramble from different parts of
the country for the advantage of what was called
wading the Commidion. The cafe was then or-
dered to (land ovtr to another day.
In the cafe of Well, Mr. PIGGOT Rated, that
the Petitioner had made a fettlement on hit wife
of 12c..-.1. in the funds, and with an intereft to
their children. The wife having once died, Mr. W.
obtained the money in the funds from the Truf-
tees, and fold it out for Scol. giving them a bond
for the debt. After this he became a bankrupt,
and his Aflignees received dividends to the amount
of two 'billing, and ten pence in the pound. The
prayer of the Petition was, that out of the pro-
duce of the cflate a like dividend of two fhillings
and ten-pence in the pound fhould be made for the
benefit of the children, who would thus be entitled
to about one hundred pounds.

The Loin CHANC ELIOR ordered the Turn of two
shillings and ten-pence in the pound dividend on
the 8001. should be paid into the hands of the Re-
ceiver General for the ufe of the children, and the
interest appropriated to replace their capital.
AUGUST I2.—PRIESTLEY AND LAMB.

Mr. ALEXANDER oblerved, that his Lordlhip
would be very glad to hear that Mr, Prieftley had
made a propofal of a Settlement which had been
approved of by the Mailer. He therefore moved
that the Maßer's Report might be affirmed.
Mr. RICHARDs,CounfeI for the Lady'sTruilees,
laid, he underilood that three or four events migl4
happen in which Mr. Prieftley would become mat-
ter of this lady's prrperty.
Mr. A LE XAN DER hoped that Mr. Priefiley would
now get out,of gaol.
The LORD CHANCELLOR laid, Ile would look at
the Matter's Report, and return it to the proper
officer tomorrow. As to the other part of the
application, that of letting this gentleman out of
cultody, thatfwould depend on the Attorney-Ge-
neral, and with that he did not wilh to interfere.
Mr. Prieftley had not only been guilty of a con-
tempt of that Court, by marrying a Ward of the
Court in the manner he had done, but he had been
engaged in obtaining ,a marriage 'without due pm -
liratiffs of Law. That was an offence for which he
might and muft be indicted.
Air. ALEXANDER laid, he had an affidavit, from
which it appeared that Mr. Prieftley was in a
wretched Rate, of health. He did not mean that
he Ihould be liberated immediately, but only after
the conveyances were. executed. He laid, the two
Mifs Priettleys, who keep the Ladies' Boarding-
fchool, had made an affidavit in jollification of
their own condutl relative to this bufiuefs, and
which he begged might be read.
The LORD CHANCFLLOR ordered it to be read.

The fuldiance of it was, that they had no know-
ledge that their brother, Mr. T. Pt icßley, was pay-
ing his addleires to Mil; Lamb, and that they
were totally unacquainted with every part of the
butinefs till leveral days after the marriage had
taken place. They alfo &poled, that if they had
entertained the fmallea idea that fuch a marriage
was going forward, they lhould have thought it
tbeit duty to have done every thing in their power
to have prevcnted it. And as to the manner in
which the publication olhanns were obtained, they
potitively fwore they had no knowledge of it, and
that they were neither direaly nor indireftly con-
cerned in it.

The LORD CHANCELLOR faid, to be fure there
was a great difference between pofitive connivance
and negligent inattention, which feemed to be the
cafe of thefe two Ladies. But this only fwelled
the condlia of Mr. Prieftley and the other Lady.
He faid, he was very glad •_hefe two Ladies had
made this affidavit. Nothing was done upon this
application to the Court.

PERJURY.
In the courfe of difcufling feveral of the Bank-
rupt Petitions, his Lordlhip extremely lamented
the grofs perjury and wickednefs that appeared in
the proceeding. He laid, that Court itfelf would
be acceffary to fuch mordtrous iniquity, if it did
not take fome Reps to fupprcfs it, by fome exem-
plary profecutions. He Ihould therefore give di.
reCtions to his Majetly's Attorney-General to pro-
ceed again( certain perfons, for he was determin-
ed that fuch (wearing Ihould not go on in that
Court with impunity. His Lordfhip alto obfcrved,
that the praCtice of the Suitors of that Court, in
writing letfeis to him containing matter which, if
it ought to be communicated to him at all, ought
to be Rated by Conrail, had become fo prevalent,
that he was afraid he mutt commit fomebody.

SURREY QUARTER SESSIONS.

INSOLVENT DIETORS.

An Attorney of the name of Keys was brought
up to be difcharged ; but was objefted to, under a
claufe in the aft, which fpecifies that any at:orney
or agent, who (hall have been entrutted to receive
any fum of money for the ufe of any perfon, and
Mall have converted the Paid money to his owa
ufe, fliould be excluded the benefit of the aft. It
appeared that a perfon of the name of Hyde had
employed this attorney to recover a debt of +oh
which he did recover. Hyde made feveral appli-
cations to his clerk for the money, not being able
to meet Keys at home. The clerk always return-
ed evolve anfwers, and at length Keys quitted the
chambers in which he refided. This circtirollance
took place at the dillance of (even years. About
three years fence Hyde difcovered that he was re-
fiding at Baniet, and praftifing as an attorney.—
He accordingly went down to that place, and law
the Defendant, who acknowledged that be had
received the money ; but laid he had been fo dif-
'relied at that time, that he had applied it to dlr.-
