Si: FrenCh Officers anived here left week, under

on board the Sandwich prifon !hip for the remainder
of the war, for attempting to bleak out of the place
of their confinement.

On Wednefday two companies of the Waggon
Train came in here from Chelmdotti. on their way
to the coati.

Damn' LAM—After the Comedy of " A 801 l
Stroh, fors Wife," in which fisawrsraa's Colonel Fag..
wall was highly entertaining, Mrs. Movarata lad
night made her brat appearance fine her indifpofi.
tion, in the part of Marianna. in the Mulical After.
piece of " Ao Song, no Supper."
COVENT GARDEN..--aItYIIOLDS'S New Comedy at-
traeled laft night an overflowing audience. The
aelors exerted themfelves molt admirably, and the
audience cheerfully complied with the concluding
lines by Mr. L1W1g...-
" Doric and Co. (kW ion unite,
a Win to fit C•rrpaig to.tuorroar night."
The Epilogue (for a copy of aveirb fee the Zybige).
was delivered with that elegance, playfulnefs, and feel•
ing, which peculiarly dillinguifb Mrs. H. Jonarrow.

Bow sra I/BT.—A difturbance in two of the boxes
in Covent garden Theatre took place on Thurfday
evening, during the performance of the principal
part of the fecond aft of the new Comedy.
—Yefterday morning, the parties attended at the
above Office, to obtain warrants againft each other
when they happening to be prefent at the fame time.
it was agreed to have the bufinefs inveftigated ; when
it appeared, that Mr. H. Johnfon, the performer, was
in one of the boxes where the difturbance arofe ; in
the next box were two Cyprians, in company with
two gentlemen ; the women frequently looking
through an opera-glafs, ridiCuling Mrs. H. Johnfon's
drefs, and talking very loud. The gentlemen ridicu-
ling the charaaers and the performers as they came on
the Qage, in fuch a loud tone r)f voice as to annoy
the company. Mr. Johnflon and' feveral others cal.
led out for filence, but in vain. Mr. Johnflon, at
length, was about to leave the box for a conftable to
turn the parties out. On his quitting the box, ho
neceifelly touched one of the parties, when a fcufile
enfued, in which both parties had their clothes torn.
and Mr. Johann gave his antagonift a violent black
eye. The evidence was very contrAdielory as to who
gave the firs blow, but the majority of witneffes
being,in favour of Mr. Johann, Mr. BOND recom-
mended Mr. jukes, who had received the black eye,
to thake hands, which Mr. Jnhniton agreed to, but
which was declined by Mr. Jukes, and it was agreed
the bufinefs thotild nand over till the evening
Mr. BOND gave the other gentleman An was in
company with the woman a fevere reprimand for his
improper cOndigi ; who faid he had been to the The-
atre every night, when Mr. Remble and Mrs. Sid-
dons performed, and could not endure to fee any of
Reynolds's produftions.
Mr. BOND told him he muff not go to the Theatre
I to annoy the whole audience, becaufe he may not
happen to like the Author.
In the evenin, about half pall (even o'clock, Mr.
J. and Mr. r. H. Johnfton, with the pieties, and their
friends, attended before Mr. Born, and Sir Wu..
Liam Patsows, when feveral other gentlemen, in
addition to thole in the morning, who were near the
fpot, attended, but their evidence did not throw any
new light on the fubjell. The Magiftrates again re-
commended the parties to make up the bufinefs.
They conflated for a few minutes, when one of Mr.
J.'s friends propofed, that Mr. Johnflon fhould make
a public apology in the Theatre. One of Mr. John-
non's friends exclaimed, he withed he might break
his neck, fooner than fubmit to this. The parties
were then ordered to find bail, to appear at the SeC.
fions.

As the matter is to become the fubjelt of legal in.
veftigation, we !hall fay nothing upon it, except that
we could with the refult may tend to rid the boxes of
a fpecies of nuifance, which has of late increafed
greatly, and threatens to drive all decent company
from a quarter of the Theatre, formerly (eke, but
now a prey to indecency and impertinence.
ANONYMOUS LNTTSILS AND PARCELS.
Mr. Wallace, who keeps the Ale Cellar, in Spring
Gardens, attended before the Magifirates, and need.
that he had lately been put to confiderable expence
and trouble, in confequence of feveral anonymous
letters and parcels being fent to him. He produced
a number of letters figned Richard Crofaley, fent
from different parts of the country, and for which
lie had double pofiage to pay. Yefierday morning
he received a parcel, very fecurely packed up, by a
porter, for which he paid a chilling. After the por-
ter was gone, on opening it, the contents proved to
be a human (hull, feveral human bones, four empty
bottles, and a box with Tome teeth in it. The fol.

. -
lowing bill of parcels was packed with them--
To three-quarters of afkull, with two teeth in the upper
jaw - - 1 10
To a quantity of bones in good prefervatioa - o is o
To four bottles of their valuable contents - o so 6
To a box ul teeth, in good order - - . o 7 0

Mr. Wallace further Rated, that he was lately fent
for to the Society for the Suppreffion of Vice, be ac-
cordingly went, when the Secretary was very polite,
and thanked him, in the name of the Society, for his
ext•rti..ns to have the caufe in which they were en-
gaged : and they wifhed for a little further informa-
tion.. This language appeared very myfterious to
Mr. W. and he told the Secretary he was a (ranger
to what he alluded : the Secretary, in his turn, was
allunifbed that Mr. W. did nut underhand him, and
he produced a letter, purporting to be figned by Mr.
Wallace, giving information, that a brother publican
of the name of Crofsley, in the Haymarket, kept a
diforderly honk. And on infpchion, it proved to be
the fame hand-writing ; although they evidently were
a feigned hand. Mr. Wallace affured the Secretary,
k was a forgery, and that be did not believe his
Neighbour k:pt a diforderly houfe.
The Magifi rates afked Mr. Wallace, if he fufpeded
any perfon ? He replied, he did not raped any in•
dividual, as he had not given °hence to any perfon
to induce them to behave fo to him, but he fufpeited
the letters to be fent him by a club that met at Crofs-
ley's houfe, called the Humbug Club.
The Magiftrates told Mr. Wallace, they could Dot
siic him any affiftaace,

COURT OF CHANCERY, NOVEMBER Ts.
WHITE Ip. WILLIAMS ANTI OTHIRS.
This was a bill filed in the Court of Chancery in
tbe year tsot, by the Plaintiff againli the Defendant,
and MelTrs. Manley, Cohan, Roebuck, and others, as
truliees of the climes, plantations, aod effelts in the
Weft Indies, of William White, deceafed.
The cafe, as Hated by Meifrs. ItICHARDS and
AGAR. Counfel for the Pioimiff, was, that in the year
5779, Mr. William White, who was then in partner-
Ship with Mr. Edwards, and Mr. J. White, his bro.
they, finding the aff tirs (tithe partnerfhip very much
embarraffed by debts, made over, not only his own
eflate,, plantations, trade, and effects, with the Ma-
nagement thereof; but alto thole of his partners, to
the Defendants, in trnli, for the payment of the in-
cumbrances. The maces were to continne in office
for the fpace of three years ; at the expiration of
which, it was calculated, that the whole of the debts,
amounting by eflimation,to 45,0001. would be finally
liquidated ; or, if not, certain Oates were to be fld
saff by them for that purpofe. and the remainder paid
over to Mr. W. White, nr his heirs. It was flipn-
lated, that while the ma continued, a certain at.
nuity fhnuld be paid to Mr. William White, and of
stool. a year to Mr. John While ; in his default, to his
.wife, for the fopport of herfelf and family of nine
children ; and in default of her, to be paid for the
benefit of the children. The Learned Gentleman
farther fiated. that no arrangement having been made
in the courfe of the &It three years, the tattlers
continued, ever finee, in the management, and, till
the year tgol, continued to pay Mrs. J. White ber
annuity, after the death of her hufband. They had
appointed Mr. William White their agent, for tl e
management of the concerns, three or four years ;
but, on the ground of his not managing the hufinefs
advantageoufly, they afterwards recalled, and fent
another to fucceed him. In the mean time Mr.
White alto paid the tie,* of nature, and, having no
ifTue himfell. his nephew, the preiint Plain!itf. Mr.
IL White, became his heir at law. This gen,leman
(being of age in the year tflot ), finding hirnfrlf of
age, called upon the Defendants, to let him ;dile&
their accounts, bnt they replied, that a pat tial infpec.
tion of them, here and there, could be of no ufe to
him—that they had no objeCtion to give him a copy
of the aceonnts, but that he mutt employ an ac-
countant
volutninons in the entitle of fo many years, that they
could not (pare their own clerk to perform it. When
be hinted at an invefiigation of them in a Court of '
Equity. they. or fume of them, dilfuaded hint from
doing fo, obferving, that it would require so years,
and an expence of to,oool. to have them examined
into in a Mallet's Office. In fume time after this,
and in the year 'for, one of the truftees wrote to
Mrs. J. White, Dill remaining a widow, that the pull
bad I eceived a notice from the Plaintiff, that he con-
littered the unit to have been by that time complete-
ly foleiled, and that of courfe the eftates and plaata-
ions now belonged to him. The letter added, that.
nfequently, fhe Mull no lonaer draw on them for
her annual allowance, as the Plaintiff was the fittell
