BOULOGNE, JULY 19.

We cannot too much admire the bold, brilliant,
and happy manoeuvre which hat brought into our
port the fix gun-boats blocked up at Calais by an
Engla olivifion. A preceding attempt was near
coiling it dear. It met a thong Engli(h divifion,
in ambufh behind the point of Grifney, and was
forced to return immediately. However, the Corn-
inander in Chief, LATOUR TREVILLR, attached
great importance to the uniting of there gun-boats
to the flotilla of Boulogne. lie ordered M. Mi.
arm, who commanded under him, to repair to
Calais, and to feize the moll: favourable opportu-
nity to crofs through the enemy's cruifers.
But the enemy's cruifers, apprifed of this defign
by the late attempt, kept conflantly upon our coals
between Calais and Boulogne in echellan from the
point of Grifney, as far as the point oppofite the
coal! of England, and abfolutely barred that part
of the palrage, which does not exceed 17,000 toifes.
It feemed impoflible to furrnount fuch obflacles ;
but the Commander reckoned upon the ability and
cashiers of M. MIRATtS, and that officer has fully
juflified his confidence. M. MIRATES is an officer
of very dillinguiffied merit, known by his excel.
knt manoeuvres over the Spanith flotilla of Cadiz.
He is very able in this kind of little maritime war-
fare. •

The 28th of July, at three in the morning, our
gun-boats, doubling the point of Grifney, were at-
taeked by a part of the ngin cruizing fquadron,
the whole of which was in fight. It was compof-
ed of 164 gun-fhip, a cut down fhip of heavy me-
tal, feveral gun-boats of large calibre, brigs and
cutters,in all 1 7 armed veffels, be fides feveral others
cruizing upon diflant points, which were perceived
well of the port, and near the Englifb coati. Our
fir gun-boats, followed by a flat-bottomed boat
which drew little water, doubled Grifney, making
a furious fire, which was fupported by that of the
firong battery which the Commander had ereeted
within a few days upon that point. They had as
set to fight only eight or nine Englifh veffels. The
Commaudcrof the crui/ing fquadron made the fig-
nal to rally, and it was immediately entirely unit-
ed againfl our gun-boats. The latter kept them-
f elves at firti dole to the coat!, under the fire of
the batteries. They continued their route with a
very gond appearance, a bra fire, and in a line.
All our land batteries fired aimed without any
interruption, as alfo our flotilla moored before the
port of Boulogne and the camp of the Tower of
Ordre. They threw alto forhebombs. •It appears
that the Englifli have Iv,: forgotten the !elm they
received at Algeliris. Although very fuperior in
force, they kept almoft conflantly out of reach,
with the eliception of a brig, which advanced and
marnruvred with confiderable refolution. It is
inconceivable that feventeen Englifh veffels, which
had ot,lers to keep our divilion of gun-boats block-
ed up in C.lais, fliruld he content to efcort it at a
very refpcllful diflance from Calais to Boulogne
from two in the morning until five o'clock. M.
MIRATT% feeing the circumfeeltion of the enemy,
znankruvred wlicn be came within a league of the
port, to gain tliz open tot and provoke the Eng.
lint ; but they di I not think proper to accept the
challenge. Ile then continu d his route, effeded
his junetion with the flotilla, and moored ir. front
of the port, in prefcnce of, and almoft under the
roc of the Englilh.

Curt. MSFORD, AUGUST 6.—Among the Special
Jury Caufes at our Taft zes,the following was not
of the lcaft importance :

lIANSON, ESCI, V. CARTER AND OTHERS.

This action was brought by Mr. Hanfon, to try
his right, excluftvely, not only of the foil, but alfo
to the bufhes and herbage, of a portion of land,
called the Thicks, containing 143 acres, (within
his manor of Grcat Bromley), which Mr. Hanfon,
at contiderable expence, had inclofed, without the
confent of the copyholders, and for fome time had
precluded their exerciting their rigkt of feeding
their cattle on, and taking ellovers of fuel and
fencing (tuff from.
The Plaintiff's Counfel, in the opening of the
caufe, attempted to prove ferious damages by a
breach Made by the Defendants, for the exprefs
purpofe of laying a ground to try their right by
the prefent aelion: in this the Plaintiff failed.

The Counfel for the Defendants then opened
their pleas of jollification; and having called a very
few of their ancient witnelfes, among whom was a
Mr. Jokes, who was 25 years Steward to the Man-
nocks, former owners of Great Bromley Manor ;
this witnefs proved the right claimed by the De-
fendants ; and that, during the whole of the time
he had known the Manor, all the copyholders en-
joyed the privilege of pafturing their cattle on the
Thicks, and took therefrom buthes and underwood
for fuel and fencing, uninterruptedly : that he ne-
ver heard of their right being quaioned till of
very htte years.
The Judge afked the Plaintiff 's Connfel, whether
they had any witnefles fironger than the Defen-
dants had now produced? if not, he raid they were
fighting with the air.
The Plaintiff's Counfel admitted they were not
prepared to meet this evidence, and the Plaintiff
was accordingly nonfuited.
The nine unfortunate convids who received
fentence of death at our lalt offices, will be ex-
ecuted here to-morrow morning. Four of them
attempted during Wednefday, to raife the pave-
ment of the cell in which they were confined, by
means of two penny-pieces, which they forced
in with their feet, and prying them as la-
vers, chipped off an incredible large piece of the
pavement. But what hopes they could entertain
of procuring their liberty by thefe means, we are
at a lots to guefs ; there certainly appears every
°Made, both from the firength of the prifon and
the indefatigable attention of the keeper, by whole
dole obfervance the circumilance of the penny-
pieces was difcovered.—One of their children had
been admitted, and was coming from the cell with
the pieces of money, when Mr. Purnell obferving
that they had, been made ufe of with Tome force,
he exchanged them for others, and on fearching
the cell, difcovered the none, part of which had
been raifed.

Committed to gaol.—John Dellaw, charged with
having ftolen three bufhels of wheat ani a flick,
the property of Meffrs. Winmill and Townfend,
of Weft Ham.—John Tiffen, charged with having
ltolen two bultocks, the property of Mr. Thomas
Nunn, of Little Bromley Hall.
One of there bullocks was killed and carried to
Colchefter market on Saturday laft, and fold to a
careafe butcher at 4.d. per lb. The other bullock
was difeovered in the parlour of an accomplice,
who is yet at large. The meat being offered cheap,
a cultom fo unufual of late, led to the difcovcry of
the offenders.

At Warwick Affizes J. Haynes, for uttering a
forged sl. Bank of England note ; and J. Harrold,
for uttering a forged ;1. Bank of England note,
were found guilty, and received fentence of death:
J. Waldron (known by the name of Big Joe) was
found guilty of a robbery, and fentenced to feven
years tranfportation.

At Coventry Anizes Wm. Allen, for Dealing
one ewe (beep, the property of W. Wilfon; and W.
Smith, for Dealing a mare, the property of John
Simmons, were capitally conviled, and received
lenience of death, but were both reprieved before
the Judges left that place :—J. Haywood, fordriv.
ing an iron nail into the foot of a horfe, the pro-
perty of J. Day, of Coventry, was found guilty,
but refpited for the opinion of the Judges :—Stif.
Huff, for Dealing a cotton gown, &c. to be impri.
Coned and kept to hard labour for two years :—W.
Crockett, for Dealing a filver watch, to be fined a
(haling and imprifoned two months ; and W.
Marlton, for uttering forged bills, to be removed
to Warwick to take his trial.

A caufe of confiderable importance to thole in-
terelled in Manorial Rights, was tried at Kent
Affixes, before Lord Mayon ; wherein Charles
Peerfon, Efq. Lord of the Manor of Whiteltaple,
was Plaintiff; and Mr. Foord, a Gentleman in the
neighbourhood of Canterbury, was Defendant.
The Defendant had inclofed a piece of wage upon
Bollal•hill, adjoining his own lands to try his right
to which the prefent action was brought, when af-
ter hearing three witneffes, the right of the Plain-
tiff to all the Waite Land upon this extenfive Ma-
nor, was clearly and fully eßablifhed by a verdift
of the Jury, given under the direelion of Lord
KENYON ; who remarked it, the conrfe of the evi-
dence, that not only all the Waite Land, but de-
ferted roads and mines, fhould there be any under
them, were the property of the Lords of the Manor.
On Friday lA, at Alfreton, Derbyfhire, Mr.
John Taylor dropped down in a 6t of apoplexy,
1r and expired immediately.
Thurfday fe'nniglit a man of the name of Cliff,
fell into the canal at Wollaton-lock, near Notting-
ham, and was unfortunately drowned.
