MARGATE, AUGUST

Mont raven o'clock yellerday evening, we per-
ceived a very black and heavy clout: riling from the
worth ; in a few moments the horizon All round be-
came of the fame appearance, the water was almoft
as foroo.:;:ls a looking glafs, and fcarcely a breath of
wind blew, wlrtn, Indelenly, we heard loud peals of
thander, at about a mile diflacce, accompanied by
ritiel Rattles of lightri:rg ; in a (bort tittle, the noile
approached much nearer, and the thunder rolled with
one continued yell through the whole atjtmcphere.
prom:trader:on the pier were now teen .flying
fin +cher ; but before any could be honied, the lain
cadre down in torrents. In an inflant the greets
woe deferted, and exhibited nothing but a rapid
ti;,,J, wiling every thing before it. Ibis continued
rlt ,:ear an hour, when again the clouds began to fe-
y u.tte. and the evening became clear. Several Rh-
ine!. tmacks, which went nut with the evening's tide,
the threatening danger, endeavoured to put
but were overtaken by it, within about a mile
of the fine.
. Yellerday being eit.ereire eVening, the Margate V.N.
hinteer Artillery pradifcel for form time at the fon
.Ipoint of land on the *diem fide of the pier, where
two 2: pounders were placed. They fired feveral
round; From the guns at the 410, and on the point of
land, at a (mall boat, with a flag. (lationed at about
two miles diaance from (bore to the northward. A
number of very., gond (hots were made, but none
riached her. This is a very fine body of, Men, and
appear Well difciplined t their uniform is blue jackets
and pantaloons. faced with red ; round hats, white
leathers at the fide ; each. bean armed with a fabte.
About eleven o'clock la& night it began to blew a
fir breete from the N.N.E. and in lets than an hour
Iht. gale became Co brilk, and the fea ran fo high, ft-
vt ra! (Tacks, which failed with the evening's
tide, were obliged to tack about and come again into
port; the gale:is not now to frelk, and Come of them
are getting under weigh. The morning and evening
plo:kets from Lraitdon, are jufl come in, with fewerat
v.lrcsiglrs, who had A very hard night, and all lick.
The Prince of Orange packet, for London, wiLta
a number of pallingers, in tacking round the point
of the Pier head, was in the ntmedi danger of rah-
tti'lg right iceoft the rmall Pier to the North of the
great one, which is only vifibte at low water, in which
cafe the vette' mug inevitably have gone to pieces.
The greateß conrurion aPpeared on board for a few
feconds ; the women, of whom there appeared a great
cumber-, (creamed violently ; every one ran down to
the Pk: in the greateß apprehenfinn and terror ima.
enable ; but fortunately, after rubbing binngfide the
pier for a few yards, (he righted, and got fairly off, to
the fatisfaCtion of the byetiander:.

An article in a Coif: paper received ycilerday, com 7
rmaicates the following intelligence. It Rates—
,' that at this moment the Spanitit Monarchy {hakes
to its foundation. The feria of circumfbinces which
immediately routed all thole fymptcans indicative of
the appreiching decadence of this ancient Monarchy.
we cannot now develope for feveral reafons-,-but we
can aver that the utmoll connernation,pVevails in the
Place of Madrid; as well as in the Cabinet and Coun-
cils of the State. The arrogance and tyranny of the
Prince of Peace, has retread the indignation of the
higher orders, as well as lime of the molt ancient
PAU.: in Pitutions, a cknowledged by the law, of Spain.
He has had the temerity to interfere with the public
juilice. of die country, by preiailink upon ebb King
to fu(pcnd the funainns of the Supreme Cotincil of
that he bad confirmed an appeal frOm a Pro-
vtocial Tribunal, adverfe in its of to °fleet( his
favourites, who vas a party in the cask. The Coon,
a have addreifed the King in terms becoming the
ancient Spanifh charafter ; they have admonifhed
him of the contequences of,fuch an untoward media-
tion ; they have reminded him in bold and tnanly
language, of the dependency of his predeceftors upon
the laws of Spain, and upon the detertnination of the
Supreme Council of Cali& in forirter times ;—and
they have fuggefled the temerity of putting a daring
favourite above the laWs, and intimated the prObable
cnnfequences in times fn fpecially marked by fucli
vi.iffitudes in human authority. The Court is in
dilute'', (lays Mar Correfpondent)—but fullen and
difirenful—their meafures are obitinate in lime re-
fpeds, and wavering id others. The Prince cf Peace
breathes Vengeance; and the Supreme Council of
eaffile aVows refinance, and feems to be the Popitlar
party. The provinces are in diforder ; and the large
cities are turbulent. gONArAiTE has offered the King
a large army to crufh the fpirit of rebellion, as it is
called ; and if the impotency of the Court accept the
offer—Spain s ill he engulphed in his obvious project
of extending the French Empire:"
A duel lately took place at Wurtzbnurg, between
the young Baron Da Haar, Canon of the Cathe-
dral, and a Bavarian Officer of the name of ZAN nr,
attended by very fingular circumilances. Young
.Da HARP was playing at the Hotel of Bavaria with
Lieutenant Prince Ds LOWENSTEIN, Lieutenant of
Light Horfe &MDT, and M. KLEINEMSERG, a nm
tive of Courland, and a Student at Law. In the
midltof the game M. Da HART reminded Lieute-
nantZMlDT, that be owed him thirteen crowns; the
other anfwered, that he had difcharged the debt—
Ds Hsu perfißing inhis.afrertion, Prince Da Low-
MUM'S interfered, and Paid that a bullet alone
would terminate the difference. They agreed to
fight, and a Mire was choral to decide the quarrel.
duel took place in the apartment of Prince Low.
eNstsik, Who had provoked it. The two adverfa-
rizs %Isle fifteen thrulls ; Zi.MDT received two flight
'mounds the Prince etclaimed that it would be a
bane let an Officer to (top there. They then re-
bolved to continue the cornbatt and, as the fabres
were blunted, they fent for a cutlet to renew the edge.
In the interval D. Hair and Zaxnt afrailed each
other with fo many invectives and opprobrious ex-
preffions, that it was clear they mull fight until one
cf them was killed. At 0... e firit thrult Zartlr was
again wounded, but tieing animated with the Prince's
voice, he fell to with redoubled vigour. At length,
.a the thirty-fire affault, the young Aaron Ds HARP
received a cut from the fabre, which pierced the
bread and penetrated into the lungs. lie died the
nest day, after fuffering the greaten agonies.
ZatitlT has abfeonded, as well as his fecond, the
Prince Ds LowpsaralN, and KLEINEMBERO, the fe-
cond to the unfortunate Hair. The latter is re-
lated to an illuftrious and rcfpeaablc family on the
left bank of the Rhine.

COURT OF CHANCERY, AUGUST w.
RZ PARTE MORTON, IN THE MATTER OF ANDERSON, It

BANKRUPT.
Mr. ROMILLY Rated, that this was the petition of
Mango Morton; and prays that the Commiffioners
may be diretted to allow him to prove a debt of vol.
due to him, by the Bankrupt, and that he may re-
ceive thi, amount of the dividends that have been al-
ready. paid• to the creditors, antler that commillinn.
The bankrupt was a linen-tnerehant, and tranfalted
bufinefs with the houfc of Baxter and Son, fail-cloth
manufaaurerg, living in Dundee. In the latter end
of the year 18ot, a bill for Soot. was drawn on the
bankrupt by Baxter and Son, and accepted by him;
this bill was paired to Mr. Chrillie, but was not
paid by the bankrupt when due; it was therefore
proteited, and in a thort time afterwards was taken
up by Mr. Morton the petitioner, for the honour of
Batter and Son, Cluitiie being about to commence
an i6tion againft them. On the 28th of January,
t Sox, a commiffion was taken out againfi Anderfon,
and the Petitioner was feveral times before the Corn-
miffioners, but would not be allowed to prove his
debt, on the ground, that he paid the bill for Baxter
and Son, and that the bankrupt had not received a
valuable confideration from them. The Learned
Gentleman fubmitted, that whatever was the Rate of
accounts between the houfe of Baxter and the Bank
rupt, that was no reafon why the Petitioner, who
gave a valuabli confideration, Ihould not be allowed
to prove his debt e he therefore hoped the prayer of
the petition would be granted.
Mr. PICOT, on the other fide, urged that three ap-
plications had been made to the Commitlioners, and
that they, who were all experienced men, bad refuted
them. •It was 'now a confidemble time fence the
Cornmiffion had been taken ot:t, and no applica-
tion had been made to 'the Court before. He
was convinced the Court would confider the peti-
tioner, who had raken up the Bill • month after ,
the Bankrupt had !lopped payment, merely as the
agent of the. houfc of Baxter and Son ; and it' his
Lordlhip did not adopt this opinion, he fubmitted
the petitioner mull Rand in the (hoes of Chriftie,
who owed a fum of sbBl. to the clime of the bank-
rupt ; fo that at all events it could be confidered no-
thing but a contrivance between 'the drawer, who
lived in Dundee, the acceptor, who lived in Dundee,
and the payer, who lived hi the fame place, for the
ptirloofe of taking fo much out of the fund, Which
was to fatisfy the real creditors,• and alfo to take the
burden 'off the (boulders of Baxter and Son. The
Learned Gentleman concluded by faying, that is the
Petition mull either hand in the Awes of Baxter or of
Chrißie, the Petition mutt be diliniffed.

ThE LORD CHANCELLOR fail, that M-. Praor did
not item to think a Dundee man thould have two pair
of (hots.

• Mr. PIGOT laid; a Dundee man fhould not bt al•
lowed to do what any oilier man would tie alhanted
of &sing..
The LORD CHANCELLOR 'laid, he could not prevent
Morton from going again before the Commiirumers,
is. his claim was tittered ; if, in the liriel repro, the
bill was paid for Baxter and Soh, there mull be an
end of the claim; but, if he paid it on his own ac-
count, and (lands in The lhoesofChrickie, it mull then
be confidered,What lituation Chrillie was in, towards
the Bankrupt. At indent, his Lordfhip laid, the
petition mull be difmifled without prejudice ; and, if
Mr. Morton chufes, the affa!r mull be further invel-
tigated by the Commillioners.
