" I will give you an account of our pilot's ex-
curfion to Breft :—Having volunteered to go on
lhore and get every polfible information with re-
fpea to the Breit fleet, his Cervices were accepted,.
and the following evening we landed him, after
agreeing to fend for him at two different places on
the three following nights, which we did during
five nights, but no pilot was to be feen ; this was
owing to force miftake made either by us or him,
in not going to the right place. We of courfe gave
him up, not doubting but he was taken up as a
fpy ; however, after being gone eight days, he
came alongfide in a French boat, with two men,
which brought him off in the following manner
from Brea. He hired this boat to go into Came-
rat Bay; upon getting pretty near to it he told
them he did notmean that Bay, he meant Bar.
thorn Bay, which m I
fuppofe half way to the (hip
from the harbour; after getting near that Bay, he
Paid he wanted to go to Point St. Mathews (which
was about two gundhots from the (hip), the men
belonging to thebrast flew in a pallion, telling him
they would take him back to Brea, when intlantly
he took a brace of pillols from bis pocket, exclaim-
ing s r ail Eighiew, and if you do not put me
on—board of my fhip, without delay, I'll blow your
brains out; pointing a piltol to each of them the
whole or the way ; however, they thought proper
to bring him on board ; perhaps you may be im-
patient to know the news he brought us; he rays,
there are 23 fail of the line in the outer harbour,
ready for fen, nod at in tae inner harbour getting

ready ; there are four frig-ates defined foi the Welt
Indies. The fleet which are coming out; it is ex-
peeled in the courfe taf a month, confif s of fourteen
ftil of French# and fix of Spanifb line, hefides two
frigates which are thole which we engaged. Our
pilot dined on board one of them with a feaman
that told him of the action, and that our floc frock
their top-malt in two places, and two in the hull ;
and although they only (truck us once in the hull,
they believed, and made not the leaf" doubt trtt
they did us confiderable damage. Their 1141110
are the Furious and Syrenne ; the former I.f.44
guns, the latter of 36 guns. The fleet is fuppofed
to be defined for Egypt, with troops. There are
a great number of gun-boats fitting out in the dif-
ferent ports in Brett, upwards of two thoufand,
they fay to invade the iflands of Guernfey and Jer-
i fey. The Spaniards in Brea are very fickly, above
fifteen hundred have died fincc they have been in
Breit. The French have taken three fail of the

line from them, and }wilted their colours, in pay-
ment, they fay, for maintain.; them.'
On the loth inflant the DORIS frigate run fo

of the line, and 12 frigates, betides corvettes.

ftruaion of the Mile. It will per baps be no new
intelligence to inform you that a flotilla of eight
fail of gun-veffels got into Havre on the 3d of July.
They came front Ifigney, and the weather was in
hazy that we did not difcover them till they got
within a few leagues of the place.
"The Maryland American frigate, Captain Ro-

there are five frigates in Havre ready for fea, as
alfo a vaR number of gun•brigs, tic. Since our

that the espeditition fo long preparing againft

A caufe of great importance was tried between
the incorporated Company of Blanket Weavers in
Whitncy Plaintiffs, and Thomas Jackfon Defen-
dant, to recover different finesinflidted by the Bye-
Laws of their Charter, granted by Qecn Anne,
on the fraudulent manufaelure of Blankets. The

impofing fines on not fending Blankets to be
weighed and dreffed, and theit length and breadth
afcertaiaed in the Common Hall of the Company,
as well before their being fulled and dreffed as
when drelfed and dry ; and the Cafe being thus
made out by the Plaintiffs, the Jury found a Ter-
dia for the amount of the fines againik the De-
fendant.

Meeting•Honfe, and fentenced by the Court to two
months unprifonmcnt.
ELY.—Before the dole of the Affixes, judgment
was given in the referved point, founded on a Spe-
cial Verdi& given at the laft Affices, in the Cafe
of Hartley v. Cooke. The Learned Judge, in a
fpec.ch of confiderable length, examined the
viri-
ous bearings of the queftion legally and hiflorical-
ly, with great learning and perfpicuity ; after
which he decided, that the Royal Franchife of Ely
partakes of the privileges of a Palatinate, and is
therefore a Court of fuperior jurifdidion. Indg
men was of courfe given in favour of the Plaintiff.

Not so cll.—At the county quarter feilions, there
Occurred a long argument in the caufe of the Pa-
rifh of Trowfe:Mill-gate Appellants, and that of
Trowfe-Mallon Refpondents, refpeding the right
of providing for a Pauper. The refpondents
pr °pored to call Mr. Bloom, which was objeded to
by the appellants, on the ground that Mr. Bloom,
being rated in both parifhes, was interefted in the
decifion, and was therefore an incompetent evi-
dence. On the other hand, it was contended that
he was perfedly competent ; for, beng rated in
both parifbes,hemuftbe equally a fufferer in which
ever way the caufe may be decided. The Court
however, confidered him as incompetent ; but al-
lowed the Counfel for the refpondents to make out
a cafe for the decifion of the Court of King's
Bench upon it.
BIDFORD.—In a caufe, the Doke of Bedford
v. Stone, on Friday la% the Court of the Coun-
ty Town was uncommonly crowded by the coun-
try-folks, curious to hear the Special Jury Trial,
which was expeded to come on. It was an adion
brought by his Grace the Duke of Bedford to re-
cover five penalties, of twenty pounds each, with
treble cons, from the Defendant, on the ground
that he had flint the lift ft afon without a Certificate
figned by a Clerk of the Peace, according to the
form of the Statute. The quenion to be decided
was, that of refidence. Mr. Stone who has a houfe
at Ampthill-Reds, and a fet of Chambers in Gray's
Inn, took out his Certificate in Middlefes, which
was alledged not to have been the proper place.—
At five o'clock, however, on Friday the 17th, jell as
the caufe was about to be called on, the attornies
and agents of the Noble Duke thought fit to carry
off the Record, and leave their client to all the
confolation he could derive from a neafiiit.

Lan Saturday the General Q9.arter Selrons of
the Peace for the county of Surrey ended at Guild.
ford, when John Waters,William Bennett, George
Bannider, John Gean, William Leopard. Thomas
Stevens, Ralph William Jacl:fon, and Jofeph Long.

veral other perfons were ordered to be confined for

%mimic oneness.

Itich.u-d Gould, tinder the adjudication of the
Magialates, at the above Saws, was yefterday

publicly whipped in the Borough, for flealing a
pig. and to be imprifoned fix months in the Route
of Correaion.

--
In an Inn in Bi(hopfgate-ftreet, there k a por-
trait.of a perfon who had been in the habit of fre-
quenting the houfe for upwards of twenty years,
daily. He was called, and it appears jug?/j, a five
bottle man ; and it is proved that, in the courfe of
his life, he drank at that houfe no leis than thirty-
five thosfiand fix hundred and nine bottles of wine, or
about if/J.:from piper He died at the age of ninety-
! rya
On Thurfday night about twelve o'clock, a fire
broke out in the houfe of GEORGE EARLE, Efq.
Mayor of Portfmouth, occafioned by the carelei-
nef% of a maid fervant ; but it was happily got
under by the acclivity of the inhabitants, without
doing any very material damage. .
On Friday a hay rick, in a field adjoining Oli-
ver's Battery, containing about 7o tons, belonging
to Mr. Si moNS, of St. Crofs, caught fire, owing to
being put together green, and was totally con-
fumed.
