Lord //stone, when he felled to take his Ration
off Cape St. Vincent, had with him eleven fail of
the line and two frigates namely, the Viftoty, Ca-
nopus, Donegal, Tigre, Superb, Spencer, Spoliate,
&Rifle. Conqueror, Leviathan, and Swiftfure; Ama-
zon and Anwhion.
Sir Bitumen DICK !Irmo, with four fail of the line,
was blockading the eight Spanifh line of battle Blips
in Carthagena when the Decade frigate joined Ad-
miral Cottimowoon, with difpetches from Lord
Nst.son, of the return of the Combined Fleet, and
the Bittern (loop of war was immediately fent to regal
Si► R. Bscasevoa. The expeited junflion had not
taken place at the date of the lateß accounts. The
Espedieion under Sir Jamas Casio, proceeded to
Malta under convoy of the Lively and Sea•horfe fri-
gates, Merlin loop, and Childers, Camelents, Fer
vent, and Dexterous brigr, and was ken to the EaR.
ward of Minorca early in July.

The Combined Fleet, daring their flight from the
Weft Indies, compelled every •effel they met with
to Rand on their condi, and detained it a day, or
fometimes longer, in order to prevent information
of their track being given to Lord blossom. The
Fanny, Bet, N DI, and Come other 'rails, they took in
tow.

It Gated by the Prifoners taken on board the Spa-
n& (hips, that as loon asVseesweuva faw the Britilh
Fliet, he fent off feveral of his fault veffels to differ-
ent ports of France and Spain, to announce his mi.
val, and to defire that the (hips which were ready fot
tea might fail to join him ; and it is probable that he
waited fo long (viz. from the sad to the 26th of
July) near the `pot where the action was fought, in
the hope of being reinforced. This eonjeCture is
irengthened by the intelligence that a Frerch fqua.
dron of three fail of the line and three frigates were
ken by the Pickle. fawner Cruizing off Cape Finif.
'erre, evidently for the purpnfe of joining the Com-
bined Fleet, becaufe if they had failed upon any ex•
pedition, they would naturally have continued their
costae.
A letter from the Meet off Breff, dated the 4th init.
Oates, that two (hips of the line and two frigates
lately came out of Breit, with the apparent intention
of putting to fea. The enemy brought to in Ber.
theaume Roads, and after mancenvering there for
four days, returned to port. Our in-fhore fquadron
which confified of the Indefatigable, Acafla, Santa
hlargaretta, Surinam, and Rambler, kept nearly
within gun-fhot of them.
On Saturday feveral letters were received from our
fquadron off Rochefort, brought to Plymouth by the
TRIUMPH, of 7+ guns, which has been obliged to
return to port in confcquence of the damage her maßs
fuffained in the late action. Admiral STIRLING has
now with him the Geo' v. WARRIOR, and RAISON-
aIma. The French force in the Charante was double
his number, but had not [hewn any difpofition to
put to fea.

day crowded the banks of the River, to witnefs the
predltled extraordinary elevation of the tide ; the
bridges were covered, and every wharf and (lore on
each fide was occupied. In the lower parts of Weft-
mintier, the inhabitants, apprehending an inundation,
removed their effeEts, and Tome publicans employed
means to fecure their butts, in the event of their be-
ing fet afloat In their cellars. About the Horleferry
Road this precautionary bustle was alrnoff univerfal.
The r reatfwell was to have taken place at two o'clock,
but it was looked for in vain t the mob, however,
waited in anxious trepidation the progrefs of the wa-
ters. At 35 minutes after two it attained its extreme
. height, and in four minutes after had perceptibly fal-
len, and by three o'clock it was fix inches below the
ordinary high water mark, and at no titne was it fo
high as it usually is on a full moon. It was, however,
near four o'clock before the rabble could content to
give up the notion of a fight, and they then difperfed,
in the expeltation of fuller gratification on Monday.

Lill INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, AUGUST ro.

LORD owner apt) WARD 4. HORACE ST. PAUL, ttl

A very important queilion, involving property
a confiderable amount, was yellerday..argited berme
the LORD Citatcrtt.sa. It 'rote out of the follow.
ing circtimftances t The late Lord Dudley and Ward
being tenant for life of certain manors in the t ounty
of Stafford, with remainder to his lauftil The, and
in default thereof, to his brother the prefent Lord I
and having alto purchafed feveral copyhoids held ti
the manor, and dying without lawful iffue, deviled
all his castes to his natural daughter, who is now the
wife of Horace 'St. Paul, Efq. The prefent Lord
Dudley, at the lag Affizes for Stafford, obtained a
verdia again(! Major St. Paul, in an ejearnent ft t
the copyhoid purchafed by the late Lord, of which
he took furrender to bitnfelf, in confequence of whir Ii
Major St. Paul filed Ms bill, and obtained an injunr.
tion to prevent Lord Dudley from ruing out the vat it
I of polliffion, and on his Lordihip putting in his at .
fwer, the pram application was made by him to get
the injundion diflotved, and to obtain poffeifion.
Mr. RiCKARDS on the part of Major St. Paul, read
a declaration to the above effea, and further !fated*
that on the soth May, $775, the Minor of Sedgeley
in the county of Stafford, was furrendeted to the
late Lord Dudley by Jonas Clarke and his wife..
He was well aware that the law was spina him, but
the Court had a power of equity which would be la
his favour, for though the copyholds were admitted
to be legally in the freeholds, yet in eqnity,
it bad no fuclihtellit; and it clearly appears that
Lord Dudley conceived the plots of ground at King's
Whitford not to hate been purchafed for the benefit
of the hereditary elate, but as property at his own
difpofal, and as fuck he devifed it to his littoral
daughter Anna Maria Ward, now Mrs. St. Paul.—
This fait is evident from his Lordihip's covenant
with Mr. Smith, the Mortgagee."
Lord Etoos—,, Read the covenant."

Which being done, his Lordfhip atked if the mo-
ney borrowed upon mortgage, amounting to 80001.
was paid up ? And was answered in the affirmative.
Mr. HARTS, on the tune Tide, obferved that the

late Lord Dudley died In the rear 1788 ; that the
firft quellion was, Whether by his will he intended
to convert copyhold into freehold I
Lord Eusua—,4 You muff prove the Intention,
whethei Lordthip meant to convert copyhold in-
to freehold, and if not, whether copyholds can pals
under the terms of the will." _ _

Mr. FULTZ...." His anions, my Lord, prove his
intention, as be certainly did but mean the property
in qneffion Mould go to the remainder. I therefore
fubmit to your Lordibip that poffeffion fitould be
changed until the affair be decided."
Mr. Romig-LT was preparing to freak on the part of
Lord Dudley, when the Loan CIUKCILLOa deliver,
ed his opinion as follows :
14 My opinion is, that the k gotta.
and it appears to me, Mr. Richards, that you have
great difficulties in your way. You mutt prove his
Lordfhip's, the Tetlator's, intention of converting
copyhold into freehold, and if not, the property eau.
not pet► by the will. Let it Rand over till neat term,
which is fo thort a period, that it is not worth while
changing the polieffion."

PURCELL V. MACNAMARA.
The Plaintiff, Mifs Purcell, as reprefentative of
Mr. Purcell, had accounts with the Defendant, eon•
netted with the produce of Well•lndia plantation?.
to a prodigious extent. The objed of the prefent a?.
plication to the Court was, that a more fpeedy deter•
mint on might be obtained by a proceeding de dk its
&en, in the Matter's Office.
Mr. RoreILLY and Mr. HART, for the Plaintiff,
(aid, that, according to the mode of proceeding, the
remainder of the lives of their Client and the Defer•
dant would be exhauned, during the examination of
the accounts. The circumnancesjunitied difpenfing
with the nfual forms. There were two ways of
preventing jonice in this Court; the one, by in•
clearing the eipences of the caufe; the other, by,
contriving all means of procraflination ; and, when
they both were combined, redrefs feemed to be im.
poffible. The Defendant became Trance to the
property in quellion, in the year t 772, and the caufe
was heard in tBo3. The honour of the Court, and
the due adminittration of junice, were as much eon.
cerned as the parties. The particulars from the De.
fendant confined of no lets than 422 folio►, and all the
ingenuity of the Learned Counfel on the other fide,
had not diftinguithed a Tingle charge, to the benefit
of which the Defendant had not been admitted..
4. I am not, "(laid Mr. Itostistv,) " arraigning the
Court, but I am arraigning die conduit of thofe who
will take advantage or the difpofition of the Court to
render complete and fubtlantia! juflice. I am, my
Lord, arraigning thofe who avail themfelves of their
profeffional charafter and reputation, to abufe the
confidence they have acquired, and to defeat the
equitable and benificent defigns which the Court is at
all times difpored to indulge."
Mars. FONSLANnyI, THOMPSON, and AMIN, on
the part of the Defendant, ,hfclaimed all inclination
to delay. It was not mail the :Bth of June lad that
direltions were given in another cattle, Macnamara v.
Baillie, which materially affefted the prefent. The
objed was not only to take account of the tranfaCtions
during the long period of 35 years, but in a cafe
where fcarcelyany voucherswere tobe produced.front
the friendly confidence enter taincd between the panic..
The defendant relied only on the teltimony of grati•
rude, and of that he was unfortunately deprived.—
What was the advantage of precipitation, compared
to the benefit to be derived from mature refletnica on
every part of the cafe I The prcfent application was to
enforce a proceeding inconfitteut with the eflabliffied
forms, as it was the pradlice cf the Mailer's office ne-
ver to Mite adverfe warrants after the left teal, with-
out the exprefs permiffion of the Court.
The Loan CHANCILLOR, after feveral remarks
on the cafe, concluded wi h obferving, that he
thould look at the proceedings, communicate with
the Mailer, and impart his opinion to the bar on
Monday or Tuefelay next."
SIR WATAIN LRMts •ND MISS LAW'S •. DAVIS AND
DAWSON.
This was an application for an injunition to goy
proceedings at law on two bonds given by the Plait►.
tiffs, as a fecutity for replacing a certain amount in
the public funds at a given day ; on which the Loan
CISANCiALoa raid, he thould deter his ileeifiaa wait
