. PRIVATE LETTER.
" LISBON, MAY 25.
Cl A considerable number of deserters continue to
come in both from Soult's and Marmont's armies—
they are mostly Germans, Poles, Swiss, or Italians.
Of the latter a smaller number. More Frenchmen
would ccme over if they had more encouragement
from us, and if they did not dread the Spaniards and
rtuguese, who not iinfrequrtly butcher the in
their way to the British treposts : the rancourous
hatred that exists between Frenchmen and the Por-
tuguese And Spaniards is most horrible ; it appears
to have only extermination for its object ; the Ft ench-
men are not behind-hand, their treatment of Spaniards
and Portuguese. when prisoners, is most cruel."
Letters from the army under Sir ROWLAND HILL
state, that Sir ROWLAND was advancing from the
Alanteju un SOUL?, in order to act in co-operation
'with BALLASTEROS.

Lisbon letters say that the Prince Regent's birth- I
day was kept there with unusual demonstrations of
joy—report says that he is on li:s passage home from
the Brazils ; the British ships of war and tile British
troors in Lisbon joined in firing and displaying en- ,
signs : the entertainment given by Mr. Stesvait, the
British Minister, and the ball in the evening exceeded
in splendour every thing of the kind given in that
capital.
At the head.quarttrs, Marshal Beresford gave a
splendid entertainment to Lord Wellington and his
Staff, and to many distinguished Spanish and Portu-
guese officers, and in the evening a ball to the Spanish
ladies. We bear also, that on the 16th of May, the
anniversary of the memorable battle of A lbttera, Lord
Wellington gave a most splendid entertainment to
Marshal Beresford and his suite, to which the Goya..
nors of Almc:idr, Ciudad Rodrigo, Generals Don
Carlos and Eiliva, and many distinguished Portu-
guese OtEcers were invited. In the evening, his
Lordship gave a ball to the Spanish ladies.
The latest letters inform us that Lord Welling-
ton is pushing forward the allied arm;, both from the
Alentejo and the North ; Marshal Beresford and him-
self being with the division of the army in the North,
and the Hero of Barossa being opposed to Soult, in
the Sctith, and having under him Sir R. Hill.
The precious remains of the 2d battalion of the
4.2 d, or Royal Highlanders, are embarking
gallant
at Lisbon, and will be sent to the Highlands to re-
cruit. On their leaving the army, Lord Wellington
issued most handsome orders about them, thanking
them and their 'Commanding Officer, Lord Blantyre,
exvressing his great regret at patting with them.—
The Ist battalion of this distinguished corps has join-
ed the Army ; they are under the Hero of Barossa,
with the Cameron El'elanders,'the Cameronians or
and the Guards. That fine body of men, the
Fis 's rugiment, or 4th, has likewise gone up from
Lisbon to join the army.
All letters describe the army to be in the highest
health and spirits, because they hope to meet the ene-
my again. The greatest part of the wounded officers
as well as men were joining their regiments.

Naw Yona, APRIL `2B.—On the night of the Bth
inst. the Essex Mills, near Tappabannuck, in Vir-
ginia, were di ;.overed to be on fire. The flames in-
creased with such rapidity that the whole pile was in
ashes before the leas; assistance could be had to stay
their progress. This afflicting calamity is supposed
to have bean the work of. sume incendiary, and a
' person, charged with being the perpetrator, is now in
jail ; but the evidence is not strong enough to convict
nirn. The value of these mills we understand, was
estimated at 10,000 dollars ; they were the property
el Lawrence Muses Esq.

COURT OP CHANCERY, JUNE

CIWYLLIM LLOYD WARDLE V. SCOTT AND ANOTHER.

A motion veas made •by Mr. HART, on the behalf
of Colorel Wardle, the plaintiff, in this suit, that
the defendant, Scott, might pay into Court the sum
of £690. 6s. Sid. being the balance stated by the al&
dAvits on the part of Colonel Wardle, to he is the
hands of the defendant, Scott, on the close
-of a part-
nership account between them.

Mr. HART stated, that the Colonel, about the year
ISIO, entered into partnership with Mr. Alexander
Madocks, and the defendant Scott, and another, in .a
manufactory of Woollen cloths, at 'lre Madoc, in the
county of Carnarvon, which had been established by
Mr. Madocks, upon his estate there. Madocks soon
after quitted the concern, when the Colonel and the
eefericlant Scott, and another, who were in partner-
ship as army clothiers, agreed to raze it in conjunc-
tion—the Colonel to have one half, and the defendants
the other.

This partnership not proving so profitable a con-
cern as the parties expected, a dissolution took place
a few months afterwards, when the Colonel not being
able to agree with his partners rc4pecting the accounts
and the division of the partnerships' property, filed
his bill for an account, and upon the coming in of the
defendants' answer, moved to have the sum above-
mentionecl paid into Court.
On the part of the defendants it was contended,
that this motion was quite irregular, no such balance
being admitted_ by their answer. Whereupon the
CHaNcrutfla observed, that he would look into the
affidavits in support of the motion, and give his judg-
ment to-morrow.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JUNE 5.

SALE% BY RAMPLIE.•-111LL v. sawrit, IN ERROR.

This was an action of trespass trrught by the
plaintiff al tinst the deferdant, by which the plaintiff
sought to recover damages fronts the .lefendant for
taking aquantity of corn belonging to the plaintiff, as
for toll for corn said to have been sold by sample in
the m irket at Worcester. Jadgment hid been en-
tered for the Oefendant, and the plaintiff had removed
it by Error into this Court. .
Sir *lakes MAWSPIELD this day pronounced the
judgment Of the Court. From a review of the law
of the case, from the earliest autkoritie3 down to the
present period, the Court was of opinion that a sale
by sample was-not a legal contract for the sale of any
thing whatever; and thatthe lord, or superior of an open
or public market, was not entitled to toll, or duty, on
any commodities not brought in bulk into the mar-
ket, and there disposed of in open market. Supposing
a person to rave 1 000 bushels of wheat which he in-
tends for s tle, but only 50 bushels of which he brings
into the market and sells, that mild never be con-
strued to amount to a sale in open market of the
whole 1000 bushels. but of the 50 bushels only, A
sale by sampL., it had been held by Lord Coke, and
by other great Law Authorities, was illegal ; such
a sale was directly against the original principle and
object for which a market was appointed. It moats
directly avainst the whole spirit of the law relating
to tre origin of markets. It was therefore ordered,
that the verdict for the defendant be reversed, and
that it he sent back to the Court below to order an
inquiry' into the amount of damages to wh;ch the
plaintiff wa sentitled for the trespasseommitted against
him in taking of his corn. s •

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 3.
CRIMINAL INFORMATION.

Mr. Moyne applied to the Court on behalf of the
Rev. Mr. Clap, a clergyman, residing at Taunton,
for a Criminal information against two Gentlemen,
named Will-am bai.ey and John Smith. It appeared,
that in the hel:inning of May last, Mrs. Smith, sister
to the Gentleman against whom the application was
made, sent a blank certificate to Mr. Clap, desiring
he would put his signature to it : this, however, he,
conceiving it would he improper, refused to do, and
returned it unsigned. He did, however, sign it a-few
days afterwards. Pending tine trap-action he was
met by Mr. Smith, in the Market-place at Taunton,
who stopt him, saying —" I hare been waitin; for
you an hour and a half ; you ar. a blackguard, and
have used Mrs. Smith very ill, and have behaved un-
like a gentleman—l have agr at mind to horsewhip
you." The day after he was met by Mr. ISailcy, ss9io
is an officer, who accosted h7nr in very abit,i% e lan-
guage, and also accused him using Mrs. Smith iii ;
and observed, " If you will put oif the clerryman,
and ass t!me the gentleman, I shall lw happy take
my chocolate with you in any way you please."
Lord ELLE:NM-WE:GiI said, this was a very ',roper
case in which to grant a Ru:' : the parties would
thus have an 'opportunity of reflecting on their very
improper conduct towards a clergyman and a gentle-
man. It would be for themselves to say, whether
they would have the matter further blazoned to he
public.—Rule granted.

At Marlborough-street P. lice-office yesterday, Ana
Duerr! was committed for a larceny, in stealing two
silver tea-spoons Trorri the house of a gentlen.an in
Rathbone-place, whither she had gone with toys.—
She is known about the town as vending these to ob-
tain access to the kitchens of gentlemen's houses, un-
der pretence of disclosing future events.
Bowler has not yet been taken into custody. He
was seen in the vicinity of Aylesbury,- dressed as a
farmer's labourer or shepherd, in a smock frock and
slouched hat. Two
ff officers wet e dispatched to Ayles-
, Luy on the receipt or tots information, but they have
not yet returned. Some of the residents of Appleton
have also gone thither voluntarily to assist in the pur-
suit, so that it is next to impossible the offender, whom
justice claims, should escape. •
An inquest was taken on Wednesday, the 20th ult.
before the Alderman of the Borough of Malmesbury,
on the body of Thomas Ckter. It appeared that the
deceased had been dining with the members of a be-
nefit club, or friendly society, at the Three Cups Inn,.
that in the evening, having become intoxicated, he
was placed In a wheelbarrow, and by four of his com-
panions wheeled from the Inn where he had been
dining to the George Inn, and there thrown into a
stable, where he was soon after discovered in a lifeless
state. Medical assistance was immediately called in,
but every effort to restoreanimation was vain.
