&russets!. Itrzr 4.—The Dutch fleet, com-
manded by Admiral de WHITER, in the tituation
in which it is at pretest, is to fail forty-eight
hours after receiving the orders for that purpofet
In itie mean time the crews are connantly employ:

Minor, Juiss 30.—A1l the brigades of the Ba-
tavian troops are to be completed. - In the courfe
of this week three !hips of the line will be launched
at Rotterdam.
AMSTERDAM JULY s.—The hopes which the
public papers have for fame time pall given us
that the negociations betwixt France and England
will be conduced to a favourable refult, begin to
re-animate public credit. Many merchant trails
continue to be built, not only in our dock yards,
but alfo in all thofe of the neighbouring towns.
Thete works were tome months ago wholly aban-
doned. Public events have mired them one per',
cent., Many commercial houfes have this morn-
ing received Intelligence that the Senate of Bremen
on the gth of this month bad the official notifies-
tion of the fpeedy evacuation of the territories of
the town by the Prtarian troops. It is not at pris-
fent undertlood that thefe troops will quit the ter-
ritories of Hanover.
TRIESTE, JUNI 10e-.-Tile Swifs troops, to the
number of ilSoo men, in the.pay of England, env.
barked on board of nglint tranfports, have felled
from this port. Another corps of troops deftined
for the fame retiree, will fhortly arrive here. Asi
Englifit frigate waits for their arrival. . .
Gum*, joss EL—The codrier ertraordideim
jetto arrived yellerday, has brought with 'him .;
Platt of our new Conftitution. The following am
*s principal bares :
The territory of the Republic will be divided he-
to three diffries, namely, that of the Ponca, the
Levant, and the Center. There will be a Senate
of twenty-four members, prefided over by a Doge,
and three Confultas or Diets, each confining of two
hundred members, chofen from the three diaries.
The Catholic, Apoflolic, and Roman religion will
be declared religion of the !fate. The three
*ill be affembled once a Tear, and fit for one
' th only, to dikes and approve or rejea the
pi
tights of laws pupae(' by the Senate, &c. It is
fimpored, the plan will recervefeveral modifications.
FR a WCRY oar, Jona 26.—There is no longer any
doubt of the definitive execution of the plan of in-
demnities and fecularizations which are to take
place in Germany. It bas been finally fettled by '
the content of the great Powers of the Continent,
and will be &only prefented by the Court of Vien.
na to the Diet for their difcuillon. The confirma-
tion of this important intelli coca is announced
from every quarter, and the Members of the Diet
have been already informed by the Imperial Mi-
niffers that the plan will be (hardy fulonitted to'
them. A very Rrong oppofition to the meafure is
expeeed on the part of the Princes while writ°.
ties mull (offer by the new arrangements. The
only ecclefiallical nate, which will be preferved,
will, it is fAid, be that of Mentz, on account of
the claims of the Eleitor as Areh.Chancellor of the

Empire, Direftor of the Diet in general, and of
the College of Ele,tors in particular.
June &I.—Several couriers have ar-
rived and departed within there few days. Various
conjettures lee formed as to the events in prepara-
tion, but the fccrecy in which the Government en-
velopes its operations, prevents any pofitive know-
ledge of them. The EleCtor of Cologne, in quali-
ty of Grand Matter of the Tuetonic Order, has fet-
tled on his affittant, the Archduke CHARIAS, an
annual revenue of So,ooo florins. The Archduke
C s is entirely recovered, and is now in a
much better Rate of health than for a long time pa R.
A circumftance which did not take place after
the Treaty of Campo Formio, and which proves
the definitive adherence of Auftria to the Treaty
of Lnneville, is "the order tent to Bruffels by the
Archduke Cnsat.ss for the fele of his property in
Belgium, among which is the fuperb Cattle of Lu-
ken, built by his Aunt, the Archduchefs CHRIS-
TINA. General LATOUR is gone to Bruffels.
The grand affair of indemnities, the difinember-
menu neceffary to be effefted in the Empire, the
Blares to be adjudged to the different powers of
Germany, to the GRAND DUES of TUSCANY, and
to the STADTHOLDIR the different conjettures
relative to the million of Dietrichftein to the Court
el London, tome conceiving that it refers to the
interefts of the Auftrian Princes, while others con-
tend that it relates to the liquidation of the debts
contrafted by Auftria ; the return of M. Piepor,
the objeti of daily expeetation; this plan, fo long
the ground of defire, which the Diet waits for with
trembling, and which the Chief of the Empire is
on the point of communicating, with all the cir-
euntftances by which it is to be regulated, fo as to
fenny execution and promote fnccefe; thole ferret
conferences, thefe frequenttoeffages, this continual
paffage of couriers from one end of Auttria to the
other, and alrooll univerfal change of views and
conjethires, adopted by one party, and rejected
by the other, modified and begun in a thoufand
different waysthefe are the fubjetts which at pre-
fent occupy the time and councils of the little
States of the Empire, to enable them to penetrate
the ferret of their deftinies.

Thofe cited, and thofe whofelands are Rill un-
divided, redouble their a&ivity and their courage
in attempts to tecure their exiftence; and proud-
iug againft future contingencies, endeavour to
make provilion for thofe great crifes which change
the forms of States. Here there is the Counfellor
of an Ecclefiaftical Prince, who fearing, with fome
reafon, for the political fafety of his matter, reeks
to attach him to another Sovereign, and to divine
what will be the power he may potters, what may
be his means, his projeas, his political fyftem when
he !hall have fubmitted to the new modifications.

Nor is it merely in particular principalities, nor
confined to the bmple inhabitants of hamlets, that
cintlettures.are formed as to their future deainy.
The Imperial cities teem fecure, but it is extreme
ly poffible that even among thefe cities thole winch
are of left importance may be incorporated with
the States in whofe vicinity they are placed, and
that thofc only will be preferved whole opulence
and commerce gives tbern rank in the iiintire.

Laft night *e received, Paris Journals of the
toth inftant. They throw no light whatever na
a very carious ditum fail to have taken place be-
tween BOLO/LILT. mad Moassu, with mfpeet to
the .difpofal and hpplicatiou of the contributions
levied by the French Army in Germany. The
latter has publiihed a letter, in Irbisb be enterein-
to a refutation of the charges brought againft him
by the Agents of Government,and vindicates him-

fell from the imputation of embezzlement and pe-
culation. We bays received a printed copy of this

letter, which has made much noire at Paris; though
none of the Journals have had the temeetty to re
print it. It confirms the intelligence of the dif.
trefed late of the French finances. The ember'
rafments felt fo severely in April were alerted
by the official journal to have been occafioned in
a great degree by the heavy expences of the Army
of the Rhine ; an expence which it was no doubt
concluded the public would cheerfully bear, finee
it procured a continental peace. But Moassu felt
his charafter attacked by this affertion, and pub-
lifhed the letter alluded to, by which it appears*
his army, during the whole of his triumphant
campaign, did not colt France a livre. hoto-
ZIA o's letter is unqueßionable evidence of his
having had a flight rnifunderlianding wish the
French Government, but he condo& himfelf with
moderation his letter is written with much mo-
deity, and he encourages none of the parties
who intrigue in politics. Neither did the army
of Italy colt France any expence worthy of notice
(except the introdoftory expellees of the artily of
referee), during the campaign. France not only
conquered, but exified on the refources of her ene-
' mice, and it is probable that the return upon her
of the army of the Rhine, the maintenance of the

armies and fleets at Brett, Rochefort, &c. have ea-

haußed the Trea(ury, and produced the embarraft.
aunts, as a remedy for which violent means have
been retorted to. The Cniar Comm., confcinra
that the bell fupport of his armies and power mull
be derived from foreign countries, anticipated the
plunder of Portugal, as one of the moll favourabe
refourcet of finance, and perhaps he will Rill have it.
The preparations for invading this country eon
tinue with vigour; and tome people fuppofe that
Caasior's vifit to Belgium is to give fpirit and
confiftency to the plan. We have already ob.
ferved that the enemy's principal efforts Teem to
be made in this quarter, as if the embarkation
were to be from the Dutch and Flemifh ports,
when it is to be attempted. The fettlernent of the
Northern difputes leaves fo very powerful a divifion
of our navy applicable to the defence of our coafts,
that there is no ground to apprehend that thc
enemy will be able to elude their vigilance.
• Notwithftanding the reports of the final arrange-
ment of the partitions in Germany, it does not sp_
pear that the great Powers have yet come to a
perfed underßanding, and there is little probability
that the Euratom of Russia can•yet have acceded
to what had been arranged. In the mean time
great intrigue and agitation prevail among the
States and Princes who are likely to fuffer, and
ALZIANDIK I. will have firong calls' and a
plaufible occafion to interfere in this bulinets, if
his policy do not incline him rather to abilain
from warlike matures, and to hold the balance
rather by negotiation than by the fword.—
His influence, however, will be felt, and it will
naturally be holifte to tome of chafe great changes
that were projected. This affair interefts the great
powers fo differently, that although all of them
may be difcontented with what is propofed, it will
be difficult to unite them in common views, except
by a very (weeping fyftem of fpoliation. The de-
parture of the Imperial Cornmiffary from the feat
of the Diet, proves that the arrangement is not
perfe&ed, or that it is not agreeable to the Court
of Vilna&

when we got within mufket fhot we exchanged

and on fire, made the brig quite ungovernable.—
Our enemy, however, had got enough of it, for
taking advantage of a dark night and our !bat-
tered condition, they made off. We repaired our
rigging in the night, and next morning we purfued
them into Tenenffe. As they fired much at our
rigging with round and grape Ihot, and iron bars
from a foot to eight inches long, we luckily had
no one killed, and only a few wounded. Yeller.
day we fell in with a Swedifh Eaftlndiaman, which
we have detained, and by whom you will receive
this letter." . ai

On Thurfday as the Orprey'a boat was coming
from the flip to Portfmouth Point, a feaman fell
overboard, and was drowned.
In a cartel veffel which arrived this week From
France, came over one Stet n eit Buceca, a water.
man of Southampton! the relation of the manner
of whofe captivity may not prove unituerefting to
the public, whilft it may ail as a caution to tinibf-
petting watermen to be more on their guard whom
they take out in their boats for pleafurable mar-
fions. Three gentlemen had hired the above per-
fon to take them to the Ifle of Wight, and they
bad not proceeded farther than Calthot-calve,
when tgey role upon the poor boatman, gagged
hitn, tied him hand and foot, and thrcatened him
with immediate death, if he made the Left noire,
or refiftanca. He implored for /inky, and offer-
ed them his affiflance in any undertaking, if they
would fpare his life; on which he was ;cleated,
and was told they were French•prirnners, and de-
fired him to make to the nearefl port in France at

his peril.
The darknefs of the night, and calumets of
the wind, favoured their intentions; for after row-
ing two days and'nights in a (mall open !tiff, with-
out having the 'call tuftenance, they arrived fate
at Cherbourgh. The vraterman was interrogated
at the Cullom-honk as to the prifoners' efcape ;
when, after giving the particulars, and identifying
the perfons, faying that they threatened to murder
him, &c. the officers took the three Frenchmen in-
to cuftody, to take their refpc4tive trials—a proof
that Justice there rears her head. The poor man's
cafe being made known to the Government, he
was ordered to be liberated, and his boat restored.
He would have been ranked as a prifoner of war,
but for the activity of a once inhabitant of South-
hampton, whole kindocts and hofpitality roan,. Gen-
tlemen captives of this place have before molt am-
ply experienced. The waterman reports, that he
obferved great aftivity in the dock-yard, and the
preparations making for invading this country
were conilantly dinning his ear.
On Sunday fe'nnight MtDowall, accitfed
of houfebreaking at Dumfermline, made his ef-
vipe out of Edinburgh prifon in woman's clothes.
His stratagem was very dextrous. He had pro-
cured a woman to come into the jail with a fuck-
ing child, *bile feveral other women were alto
these, each of whom took thechild and dandled it
in their arms in various parts of the prifon, parti-
cularly in pretence of the inner-keeper. While
this etas going on, M'Dowall retired to a private
part of the jail, where one of the prifoners, who is
a painter, fo coloured his face as to give him the
refemblance of a female. He then puton a wo-
man's drefs, a cloak and bonnet, with a deep veil,
after which, like the others, he took the child to
dandle, which he continued to do for tome due,
and then feveral of the women went out with him,
while be carried the child, under the appearance
of a nurfe, and to deceived the keeper, and elk&
ed his efcape.
The two Keoghs, who were tried at Limerick

tOURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY xx.

• • Zoe V. WALKER.
This...caulk, which is an extraordinary one, and
of the fire importance to the public, lafted the
whole day, and was conduled by Mr. ERSKINE,
for the Leffee of the Plaintiff, and by Mr. Ar roe-
Nal' GRPURAI,, for the Defendant.
Mr. ERBIUM", in his opening to the Jury, ob-
ferved, this was a cafe deferving their very parti-
cular attention, becaufe, if the Plaintiff fhould be
defeated in this aaion, it would not only be an aft
of great injuitice to him, but of very great in-
junice to the public, inafmuch as it would go very
I far, in his opinion, to fhake many of the common
affurantes of the realm. It would require their
uttnolt attention and the greaten. confederation.
He almoft trembled to think of the confequences
attending a decifion in favour of the Defendant,
land which he had the good luck to acquire in
another Court. The property claimed by she
Plaintiff was left him under the Will of Mrs. Mary
Robinfon, who lived at Romford, in the County
of Ellis, and was 76 years of age when the died.
The general fanity of the Tenatrix, and her capa-
city to execute this Will, conflituted this caufe.—
Only one of the three fubfcribing Witneffes was
now living, and after the Plaintiff had been in the
undifturbed poffeflion of this property for fourteen
years—after the other two fubfcribing witneres
had gone into their graves, and could not be railed
up again to qopofe the evidence on the other fide ;
it was now fo-ught tb let afide this Will, on the cal-
' dence of a witnefs, mean, low, and profligate, on
the evidence of the fubfcribing witnefs now living.
If that could be done, it would (hake all the com-
mon affurances of the kingdom and there could
be no fecurity to thofe who held their property
under deed or mortgage, or any other affurance.
He was Counfel for a Fruit Merchant living in
Philpot-lane, Mr. John Stevenfbn; a man Of
unimpeached, and unimpeachable • reputation,
who had carried on trade for a great number of
years, who was known to his neighbours in the
City, and whore father carried on a fimilar trade
with an equal reputation on the fame fpot. One
of the fubfcribing witneffes to the Will was an At-
torney (Mr. Gare), whofe reputation was never
impeached during his life, and no man's reputation
was more eaflly impeached than that of an Attor-
ney. Mr. Gale was univerfally refpeded and
efleemed. Another fubfcribing witnefs to the Will,
who is silo dead, was a Mr. Reynolds, the Clerk
of Mr. Gale, alto a man of charafter' and after-
wards an Attorney. The Tenatrix, Mrs. Robin-
fon, had brought up a young woman of the name
of Elizabeth Bodkin, who was the objea of her
care and bounty, and the old Lady bad a great
affeetion for her, founded on the belt eaten. The
Plaintiff married that young woman. He, had a
fmall property by this Will, but it was not fo much
the property as to maintain his charafter and repu-
tation that this salon was brought. He readily
admitted, if the verdia which had been found
againfk this• Gentleman was founded in truth and
junice, he. as one of the worn and wickedeft of
mankind. Unlefs a man's name was untainted in
the world, property was of (mall value. Mr. Ste-
venfon was entrufted by the Tenatrix to tranfaft a
little bufinefs the had in the Bank. She gave him a
power of Attorney, under which he afted during
the remainder of her life. She made two wills pri-
or to the will in queltion. The will under which
the Plaintiff claimed, was dated February 10,1785 s
(he by tharwill gave him the premifes in queftion,
for which this erament wits brought, which were
worth about tool. a year ; and there was a turn
of sol. a year to the young woman, who became
the Plaintiff's wife. The will being made, it was
neceffary of courfe that it fhould be executed.—
And the having repofed the utmoft confidence in
Mr. Stevenfon, who had tranfaaed her blifinefs
for her at the Bank, cottoned him with the
execution of this Will. He employed Mr.
Gale, who was fince dead, who, together with
Mr. Reynolds his Clerk, alto now dead, went
down to Romford for the purpofe of the execution
of this will. There was alfo a very young man
of the name of Cooperfon, and living with Mr.
Stevenfon, who alto went(-down to be a fubfcrib-
ing witnefs to this Will. The Will was execut-
ed-on the loth of February, 1785, and the lived
till the sd of Dtcemiter. 1786 f and it was not till
the prefent year, tflot, when the perfons living at
Romford, and who were acquainted with this La-
dy, were dead—it was not till after the death of
the Attorney and his Clerk who were acquainted
with all the eirctunnances, and were two of the
fubfcribing witnefres—That Timothy Cooperfon,
the only fubfcribing witnefs, now living, a man
married to a common proftitute, and who left Mr.
Stevenfon's fervice in confequence of a quarrel
between them, becaufe he wifhed to prevent fo
improper a conneftion—this ragamuffin and vaga-
bond, who in confequence of his milcondua went
about with a fhowbox, and alto fold matches, and
in fhort,lived in a mannerthat totally difrobed him
of every pretence to any thing like fair and honelt
reputation—this man, in the year 18ot, after Mr.
Stevenfon had been in the undifturbed and andif-
turbable poleffson of this property upwards of four-
teen years, in going along the high road to Hemp-
(lead one day with this Show-box--this Caws
Olfesiroupon his back, was accofted by a per.
fon who a&ed his name? This turned out to be
the defendant, the Heir at Law to Mrs. Robinfon,
and now this man,Cooperfon, came forwaid, con-
trary to his own folemn aft, to cut down this Will,
and to give this eflate to the Heir at Law. He
underitood this man, whom he mull call as a wit-
nefs, would declare upon his oath that the was inca-
pable of executing that Will, not from general in-
capacity—not from her general habits—but from
her being incapable, at that particular moment—
from intoxication---to make that particular
mem; and this witnefivras to give this mon detefta-
ble and profligate evidence after he had not only
flibfcribed to the fad, but, on every principle of
reafon and of law, bad fubfcribed to hercapacity to
execute that Will. He would Rate, that the was to-
tally incapable of executing the Will, and that her
hand was guided by Mr. Gale. The Counfel here

his favour. He reminded t e Jury that what wits
the fituation of the Plaintiff to day might be
their own fituation to morrow, or the fituation of
any man living under the fliaatow of the Govern-
ment of this country, and who was poffelfed of pro.
petty. It would be their duty to attend to the evi-
dence of this infamous witnefs, but it was itnpa-
fible they could believe one word of it. •
Timothy Cooperfon, the &ft v. itnefs, Paid, he
came from Mr. Shaw's, Red Lion fircet, where he
had lived about feven months. Mr. Walker, the
Defendant, recommended him to that place. He
did every thing hewn fet about, he cleaned fkoes,
and knives, and fcoured copper fauce-pans, and
did all manner of dirty work he was fet about.—
He became acquainted with the Defendant on the
tyli of September htft. He met him accidentally
as he was going to Hampllead with a thew-box up-
on his back ; he met him on the road, and had ne-
ver before feen him in his life. His wile was withhien.
Jolt as the Lady afked him to take a peep at his
thew-box, Mr. Walker came u p, and afked him his
name ? and finding it was Cooperfon, he took him
immediately to his Attorney, Mr. Bromeley, of
Clifford's Inn. On the t zth of May, when the
Plaintiff's Attorney willed to fee him, he and his
wife travelled on foot to Yorkfhire, to fee an old
aunt of his, whom he had not feen for many years.
He took his thew-box with him, and exhibited up-
on the road, jull to pars the time; he alto took a
few books and fold them. His wife had been
married to him twelve years, and he had always
worked for a living. Mr. Walker had been a kind
friend to him, and he had always been very thank-
ful for it. He did what he could to oblige him. Be.
fore he became acquainted with him he had been'
obliged to go about and fell matches, and carry a
fhew-bor. He had no other means of fupport
ing himfelf. His wife now lived with him at
Mr.g Shaw's and got a little needle work In 1786
he lived with Mr. Stevenfon, the father of the
ai ntiff, Mr. John Stevenfon; he lived at the corner
of Phil pot-lane, and was a Fruit-merchant. On the
Will being (hewn to him, and his fignature, he Paid
it was his handwriting. He did not fee either
Mr. Gale or Mr. Reynolds write their names.
They were ready written before he went into the
room. He Paid he yaw Mrs. Robinfon fitting in
an arm-chair, and a paper before her on a table.
She began to write her name—the made anattempt
to write her name—and then the could not go on.
The pen was taken out of her hand, to the heft of
his recolleftion, by Mr. Gale, who gave a fctatch
on die paper (obliterating what (he had written)
and then put the pen into her hand again, and
guided it. She did not appear to him to be capa-
ble of doing it all. He never yaw her before. She
Teemed to be Rupid, or intoxicated, by the way of
her. She did not appear to him to be capable of
knowing what the was doing—the was either florid
or intoxicated—the appeared to him fhtpid drsni.
He himfelf was not drunk. John Stevenfon put
the paper round to him, and defired him to fign
his name. He wrote his name as it then appeared
to the Will.—She did not fign any of the other
(beets of the Will in his pretence. He then came
down (lairs into the Parlour, and the reit Conn fol-
lowed. Elizabeth Bodkin, the young woman
living with Mrs. Robinfon, alked what was to be
done with the poor relations, for they were always
coming, and were troublefome ? Mr. Gale laid.
take them and bind them over to the Quarter Scf.
lions. They then came to Town together in a
poftchaife. He did not know till Tome time after-
wards that it was a will he had been altelling. He
left Mr. Stevenfon becaufe they could not agree
very well together. His matter was unkind enough
to with him not to marry Mrs. Cooperfon; he
told him if he did he would be a vagabond and a
blackguard, and would die a beggar in a ditch.
His mailer fpoke of Mrs. Cooperfon alfo as a
common woman of the town. As Mr. Steven-
fon did every thing in his power to prevent
him from marrying her, and as he was reply-
ed to marry her, he thought it was better to part.
After he was in (Wires, he called on Mr. Steven.
fon for charity, and fometimes he gave him money
and fometimes not. He had the misfortune to
break a blood-veffel, and it was owing to that, and
not to his marriage, that he had been reduced to
indigence. He married his wife in 1789. He car-
ried-his (hew-box about in fine weather, and fold
matches in bad weather. He had mentioned to
every matter he had lived with that this Will was
not properly executed. He had mentioned it to
Mr Shepherd, Mr. Kest, Mr. and Mrs. Hobbs, to
Mrs. Howard, &c. he never made any fecret of it.
The hour when the Will was executed was between
eleven and twelve o'clock at night, and it was two
in the morning before they arrived in town in the
poR-chaife.—On crofs-examination, he Aid his
aunt Stevenfon told him, on the afternoon of the
day when the Will was executed, to go up Rains.
and clean himfelf; , but the did not tell him on
what blames he was going. They yet off from
town about four o'clock in the afternoon, Mr.
Gale, his clerk, and he, in a poft.chaife ; and Mr.
Stevenfon went down on borfeback. They arrived
at the White Hart at Romford about fix o'clock t
they fat there a long while, and (upped ; and he
was afterwards called over to Mrs. Robinfon's
honk : and as all the flops were (hut, and every
thing Rill, he thought it mutt have been beta een
eleven and twelve at night. There was not a word
of the will read over to him, and he did not know
it was a will till after he came heme. He had
four thirts given him for going down there. They
were given him fix months afterwards, by Eliza.
beth Bodkin, as his aunt Stevenfon told him.--
Mr. Walker's father died in 1799. He laid he
married his wife from a very creditable Gentle-
man's houfe, Mr. Laurie, a holier, No. 76, Cheap.
fide. He had done every thing he could to gain
an horieft livelihood ; he had worked at the cran-
ing of fugars for ten hours at a time before he
broke the blood-veffel, and he would defy layman
to fay he was a rogue.
Mr. Lovrten Paid he remembered Mr. Gale.
He could not (peak to his hand-writing, bat he was
a man of bufinefs and of charafter.
Mr. Battle faid he was an attorney, and remem.
bered Mr. Reynolds being the clerk of Mr. Gala,
and afterwards an attorney on his own ac-
count. He had no doubt in his own mind but his
