other paffitge boats. The old landing place, which
ufed to be in the Dock Yard, is entirely Phut up,
and the buflle and confufion which ufed to occur
in the Yard, is now entirely eradicated. A new
pier is going to be creeted oppofite the King's-
Head Inn, in this town; when executed, will prove
a valuable acquifition to the inhabitants, as it will
be difficult for the boats to land at the new land-

CALCUTTA, JANUARY 21.

A Rout French privateer, laid to have been fit-
red out at the Mauritius, has, notwithltanding the
vigilance of our cruizers, made her appearince in
Ballafore Road, where fhe has captured a pilot
ichooner, and caufed confiderable alarm among
the coaffing traders.
Letters from Tranquebar mention the arrival of
a velfel at that place from the Ifle of France, which
the left on the rfith of November. By this convey-
ance,intelligence isreceived that laConfiance,Capt.
&MCI/LIFT, with his priee,the Kr NT, reached Mau-
ritius in fafety early in the month of November.—
The cartel le Liherateur, difpatched from this port
in June laft, bad likewife art ived, after a paGge
of five months, conveying thither feveral of the
prifoners captured in la Forte, whole commanding
officer, it is laid, has been tried by a Court Manual
for the lofs of the frigate,and honourably acquiucel,
upon the grounds of the very fiiperior force of her
opponent, la Sybille. A corvette had likewife ar-
rived from France, announcing an intended fuc-
cottr to the ifland, of a refpedablc body of troops,
accompanied by a new let of Commiffariec, with
extraordinary powers. The BENG A L Indianian,
recently arrived from India, loft Mr. MITCHELL,
her third officer, fhortly after her quitting Eng-
land, on her outward-bound pairage, tinder the
following circumflances :—Mr. MITCHELL, while
employed in fuperintending the flowage of the
cables in the tier, found himfelf much interrupted
by the interference of the (hip's poulterer, who,
inßead of repairing to his allotted nation on the
gun-deck, rriatel in taking a (hare of duty for
which he was by no means qualified. lifter va-
rious orders to quit the place, totally difregarded
by the intruder, the officer was proceeding to en-
force them in a more compulfory mode, when the
other fuddenly drawing his knife, aimed it with
great violence at his heart ; as it fell upon the
ribs, the knif: did not then penetrate, but he im-
mediately made another and more fuccefful flab,
which entering the ttomach, proved mortal. The
murderer was feizec!, and has been ever lince in
rens on board the BENGAL.

A letter from New Providence, dated the toth
June, announces the arrival there, on the preceding
Wednefday, of the TOPAZ', of 38 guns, Captaia
CHURCH, with a Spani(h brig, of 14 is-pounders,
having a large Cum of money and a very valuable
cargo on board. We are happy in being able to cor-
red the report ofCapt.Cxuacxhavingpeenwound.
cd in the anion with the Spanifh (hips off the Mayan-
nab. In that very gallant enterprise, the apanifli
fhip of 74 guns, to which the TOPA Z 6 gave chase,
was contented to fire her (tern chafers, bring un-
willing to lofe time by luffing up for a broadfide.
The appearance of the Titi sea might poffibly have
contributed to impofe this prudent line of conduit
on the Spanifh Commander; but it is a fad which
we alien with pride, that the ToPAzs alone chafed
the enemy for feveral hours, greatly annoying
him in the purfuit, and finally compelling him to
leek fafety in his harbour, and, as our people
learned by a vac' from the Havannah, having
killed and wounded feveral of his crew.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

MUM QUARTER SESSIONS, &armour, Mous T rs
INSOLTINT DEBTORS.
Tea MAYOR AND CORPORATION OF MARLBOROUGH
V. ROBERT BLACKFORD.
This was an aaion againft the Defendant for
Laving infringed one of the bye-laws of the Cor-
poration, by which they enaaed, that any perfon
who &cold fell meat out of the public market, fhould
be liable to a penalty. The defendant had incur-
red this penalty. He bad applied to be admitted
to a ftall in the market ; but his brother butchers.
anderftanding he fold his meat che4er than they
chofe to do, refuted to admit him. rn confequence
of this; he erefted a (tall without the market place,
land, by his humane condu4, engrafted& confide-
table portion of the cottons of the town. The Ma-
gillrates being informed of this cireumftance, im-
mediately put the Bye-law into force, and caufed
the defendant to be arrefted. This was the cafe,
as Rated by Mir. MAILRYOTT, who Paid that the
aaionmight be Paid to be for felling meat toorheal 1
He further Rated, that this poor man, who has a
wife and ten children, was brought before Mr.
Jake Gaon to be rendered, he having efcaped
f.om the Officer who had him in cuftodly, when
the circumfiances attending his arreft being Rated
to the Learned Judge, he reprobated the conduit'
of the Magiftrates, and very humanely fuggefted
to the Counfel then prefent, that it would be pro-
per to inform them of his opinion, in order that
they might liberate this man. The Counfel pro-
naifed on his honour fo to do; the defendant, how-
ever, Rill remained in cuftody. The Counfel on
behalf of the plaintiffs this day objefted to his dif-
charge on the ground of an efcape. The defen-
dant was afked as to this point. The account he
gave was as follows : That he was arrefted on the
7th of February ; that the Officer and he went to
a public.houfe in the town, immediately as he was
arrefted ; .this was about nine o'clock in the morn-
ing ; there they continued drinking tin nine at
night, a; which time he found himfelf outfide of
the public-houfe ; both of them were intoxicated.
The following day he found himfelf in London,
but knew not how he got there. He continued in
London until the sift of April, when he fent word
to the Officer where he was, and he was according-
ly fent to prifon. He was afked how he came to
leave his wife and family ? He faid, he could be
of no fervice to them, as the Magiftrates had de-
prived him of the means of getting his bread.
The Court commiferated the cafe of this poor
man, and requefted the Counfel not to prefs the
matter again(! him. They thought the bye-law
entered into by the Corporation would have the
Mott oppreffive tendency; as it prevented the fair
competition in trade. Perfons who endeavoured
to keep up the prices of the neccffaries of life were
certainly.objeOs of prinithment ; but when a man
fitnated like the defendant Repped forward to al-
leviate the diuretics of his fellow-creatures, he de-
ferred the thanks of every difinterefled perfon, and
was entitled to receive proteftion.—He was order-
ed to be difeharged.
INSOLVENT MAGICIAN.
A man of the name of Park, the gravity of
whore appearance beipoke him a man of uncom-
mon refearch, applied to be delivered from thral-
dom : he was i ppofed by his creditor, Martin,
who Rated, that the tranfaaion for which Park
was impritbned, was of fuch a nature that he was
not entitled to the benefit of the Azt ; that he had
formerly been a hop wurthant, but had !bopped
off in every body's debt ; that he had fence ap-
plied himfelf to the Rudy of anronorny and ma-.
gic, an.l had obtained great funks, by predicting
the fc.si'ulis to a certain foreflaller of hops and his
agents ; that Park and himfelf had agreed to con-
Colidafe their kno‘s ledge, and puhhhh a new fy Rem
of agronomy, which was completely to refute all
the Ward notions of Sir lfaac lNcwton. In fur-

therance of their plan, they invented a fliperb or-
Eery, and engaged Leiceller•houfe to exhibit it ;
but Mr. Gedge, the landlord, with profane hands, '
feized upon it for rent. In the mean time the'
book went off ; the price was to have been a gui•'
'11C:1, and it- was to leave been publithed by fubfcrip-
tion. Park, who undertook the talk of receiving
the fubfcriptions, put the money into his own
pocket, fold the plates for a trifle, and thus depriv-
ed his partner, the prefent Plaintiff, of his fhare of
the profits of their joint labours. He hoped the
Court would take cognizance of fuch fraudulent
conduo; and not fuffer the Defendant to be dif•
charged. The Court remarked, that this was en-
tirely a partnerfhip tranfatlion between two Con-
jurors, neither of whom much deferved the name.
The refult was, the allronomer was fuffered to go
about his butinefs.

Jamas SHARP, Efq. Mayor of Deal, has been
unanimoully re•eleEtcd to that office for the enfu-

ing year.
Mr. SAM URI. HOLT is detted Mayor of North-
ampton ; and Morns. ODELL and DU NKL EY Bai-
liffs, for the enfuing year.
The runaway (laves in New Providence had
lately become exceedingly formidable to their maf-
ters, under the toncluet of a Chief who was known
by the name of 4, King Cafar !" After many
dangers and many intrepid Els, King Czfar has
been killed. His death was Mebrated as an oc-
cdion of general joy.
The American trade with Spani(h America and
the American Ides, is now fo great and flourifhing,
and fn much in the way of contraband, that the
c iptures of American veffels by the privateers of
New Providence, in the year 1800 alone, is ell-
mated at the value of 8,000,000 of dollars. Thofe
privateers are very numerous, and exceedingly vi-
gilant; yet the Vera Cruz fleet to the value of
17,000,000 of dollars, had, in the beginning of
May, to the great difappointment of thofe priva-
teers and their owners at Naffiu, arrived fafe at
the Havannah.

We hear from Conflantinople, that a Tartar,
with a confiderable efcort, which was fent from
Conflantinople to Mooful with fpecie to a large
amount, was lately attacked on his road by a pow-
erful body, compofed of the daring tribes infefting
the dillrilk of Mooful, who robbed and maffacred
the Tartar, with nearly the entire of the efcort,
and carried off the treafure. Two of the party,
though very much wounded, have reached Bagdat,
after encountering extraordinary hardfhips in the
defart. A firong party of military are fent in
quell of the banditti, who have fled to the eall-
ward. We have the pleafure to Rate, that hopes
are entertained of finding water at Perin. The
place has been probed upwards of one hundred
yards in many places, and a fpring is difcovered,
which promifes to antwer in a little time.
The diftria of Sinzingen, Ehenwiefen, Stc. in the
Laberthal, near Ratifbon, was inundated, on the
26th ult. by a violent fall of rain, by which the
Laber, which runs between two high mountains,
became a rapid Dream, which carried along with
it (tones, timber, trees, houfes, mills, men, And
beets. The wrecks were carried as far as the
Danube, and feveral heaps were flopped by the
bridge at Ratifbon. In the upper diaries of, the
Mayn, particularly near Nuremberg, fimilar in-
undations have happened, by which the Mart,
near Franckfort, is rifen (even feet above its re-
gular Night, and great quantities of timber, &c.
probably the wrecks of buildings, have floated by
and drove afhore there. The Rednitz, Schwabach,
and other rivers in Franconia, have like wia over-
flowed their banks, but the greateß devallation
has been cauf:d by the overflowing of the Danube.
In Italy, between Verona and Padua, 18 villages
have been laid waDe by a dreadful hurricane and
hail-ftorm.
