The following is an extra& of a Letter from an
Officer at Cairo, dated the z4th of Oelober ;
giving an account of the ceremony of invefting
Sir RICHARD BicaraTom, and feveral other Naval
Officers, with the Ottoman Imperial Order of
Kpighthood, the Crefcent

14 On the morning of the Bth, the Admiral ac-
companied by the lurki(h Admiral of the Gallies,
and fuite, and thole Officers of the Navy who had
been particularly feldted, proceeded from Gene-
ral Hurt Fl MON s tent, to the tent of his Highnefs
the CAPTAIN PACHA, and were received by the
whole Turki(h line, under arms, with mufic play-
ing and colours flying. When we alighted and
approached the tent (which was open in the front)
we obferved the CAPTAIN PACHA feated upon a
molt magnificent fopha, attended by the PACHA of
EGYPT, the Chief General of his Highnefs's army,
and the Reis EFFFN9I. The three latter were
feated on the fame fopha, and rofe at our approach,
but his Highnefs received us fitting. We were
placed in chalks on each tide of the fopha; the
Admiral on the right of the CAPTAIN PACKA.—
The General Officets of the Turkith army and
natty ftood at the back of our chairs, behind them
were ranged his Highnefs's retinue, arrayed in
their different badges of diftinEtion, and round the
tent in front were drawn up his Body Guard.
His Highnefs was dreffed in a white robe of
beautiful Persian fain, over which was the robe
of Rate, worn only on particular occafions, made
of the fineft red cloth, and on it was placed, be-
low the break, two Aigrettes of large diamonds ;
and in a fah of rich Patin, round his waift was fixed
a dagger, the handle of which was fo thickly co-
vered with diamonds, as to render it impoffible to
difcover of what other materials it was made. On
his head he wore a fuperb turban, with rows of
pearls placed on the different folds. His rich
drefs, his venerable appearance, having a very long
black beard, which be was continually ftroking,
altogether Made a molt inrerefting figure. The
other Grandees that were feated on the fame fopha,
were as magnificently dreffed, in all rerpetis,
cepting the red robe.
Having been ferved with coffee and fweatmeats,
according to cuftom, the ceremony began by his
Highnef invefting the Admiral with a Pelice, the
' Star and Red Ribband, and Medal of the Order
of the Crefcent, all of which being properly ar-
ranged, he was defired to kneel, at which time
the Grand Seignior's Firman was read, impower-
ing his Higlinea to confer the honour of Knight-
' hood, which was immediately performed on the
Admiral, upon whore riling a Royal falute was
fired, and other demonftrations of fatisfaftion,
agreeable to the Turkiih cnitom. The Star is molt
beautifully let with diamonds, and the Pelice is
valued at goof.
The Admiral having retired to his feat, the
Senior Puff-Captain was inverted in the fame form
with the Pelice and Gold Medal of the Order, and
' was Knighted, and then the other three Captains
in fuccaon.

44 Pour Mailers and Commanders, and Lieut.
WITHER/ were then Knighted in the fame man-
ner, but only received a Gold Medal of the Order,
without the Pelice. _

U. The fame ceremony was performed on Ge-
neral HUTCHINSON, and the General Officers of
the Army the day before.
" General Huvcatasox, and Sir RD. BICKER-
TON, arc invelled with the &ft Order of the Cref-
cent. The other General Officers, Potl-Captains,
and Mailers and Commanders, are of the Second
Order, there being only two Orders.
" During the whole of the ceremony mufic was
playing. After the ceremony was finithed, a long
hiffory was read, flatting the power and magnifi
cence of the Grand Seignior, and confequently the
value we were to fet upon the different honours
conferred. This finifhed, we were treated with
Sherbet ; we then arofe dreffed in our finery, and
departed on our horfes in the fame form we came,
at which time another falute was fired.
This ceremony was performed on the fixn
where the battle of the 2at was fought, which
decided the fate of Egypt."

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JAN. 21.

BMN. LIMAN, RSQ V. HASRISOIN.
This was an anion for money had and received
to the Plaintiff's are. The Plaintiff, who is a fo-
reigner, aired in the capacity of Vice•Conful at
'Algiers, and having confiderable claims on the
Britifh Government, he came over to this coun-
try to have thefe claims liquidated. The Defen•
dant, who reprefented himfelf as an agent or broker,
got introduced to him, and having perfuaded him
that he had great intereft at the Treafury, pre-
vailed on him to fuffer him to ad as his broker or
agent. It appeared that he had had frequent
conferences and been various times at the Trea-
fury, in order to get the accounts paired. While
engaged in this purfuit, he wrote a letter to the
Plaintiff, requefting that he would fend him a draft
on his banker for one .hundred pounds, it being
neceffary to fee the clerks in the Treafury, and
that he would account with him for it. The
Plaintiff, after prefenting a petition and memorial,
at length got an order patted for part of his de-
mand to the amount of I roof. and upwards ; of
this fum, however, he did not chute to take more
than 2801. fo much being necelfary for his imme-
diate wants, and let the refidue Hay in the hands
of Government till the whole rtf his claims were
fettled. thefe amounted to 4ocol. and upwards.
He fought by this adion to recover back the tool.
which he alledged had been unjuttly obtained.
The Defendant Rated, that the Plaintiff was in-
debted to him in a greater fum than tool. for the
fervices which he had rendered him, as it was by
his intereft the order was made for the payment of
the t tool. To prove this, he called feveral wit-
neffes, who Rated, that they had feen the Defen-
dant employed in the Plaintiff's affairs for a con-
fiderable length of time. To firengthen this evi-
dence he produced a written agreement, figned by
both parties, in which the Plaintiff engaged to al-
low the Defendant the fum of ten per cent. for all
the money he fhould recover. His Counfel con-
tended that this inftrurnent was legal, and confe-
quently the Defendant was entitled to a balance
for the fum recovered.

Lord At VANLEY was clearly of opinion the in-
ftrument was not binding, and cenfured the de-
mand of ten per cent. as being exorbitant. He
did not perceive any fervices which had been ren-
dered by the Defendant. The Jury were to de-
termine on the quantum meruit P. The Jury found a
verdiZt for the Plaintiff for 391. 135. allowing the
Defendant five per cent. on the fum received.-
