" MCFNSKIGNEUR-740 sonseqinece of the commatri
of your Highness, I embarked on board the frigate
Favourite, at Ancona, on the 11th, in the evening,.
The divisions under the command of Captain Dabouri
dies consisted if four frigates and two small corvettes,
forming in all six ships, two of which belonged to the
French, and four w the Italian navy, We got uncler
sail with a light breeze, about seven in the vesting,
46 At sunset, on the 12th we perceived the eastms
point of Lissa. I proposed Captain unbourdiee,
that I should land at Lissa with. 3JO men, which 4
had- on board, in order to take a position. This,
however, he refused, and the.division remained *
whole night in sight of land, in order to keep beiges
the wind.
At day-break we perceived the Eaglishdimisiool
which consisted of a cut-down ship of the line, carrY'l
ing only her lower-deck gins, and three frigate'. The
Commodore immediately made the signal to prepare
for b.ittle. As the Vayoerite sailed better ;hag the
other ships, she was cogoderably a-head of the teas
of the division ; however, at a quarter past eeyesa the
order was given for.the action to commence. .
" Captain Meillerie *aid to Me, 1.4• Colon:A, wet'
it not be better were we to wait a while leeger itil

the Commander, who. hoWeetie,•etely replie,e, tt -Thee
is the happiest day of optiieee, too of thew shim
I must be ours. We have the advaatage le tw,, fn.,
gates over the enemy, and we are as well eaisoged ae
he is." Your Royal Highness must he mead, Ihef
on board .chit shie, yea+ nothing, are; that I-weit now
for the first rime in an action at sea. I could deem:
fore oply concur with this braee offices, and lees ime,
hie to describe the, cogs which animated Abg
thew
of the Favourite. . ~ -r
4' A few minutes after. eight, the frigate had got _
within gunTshot of the enemy's ships, received theist
fire, and returned it with astonishing activity frorri
both sides. The wind, however, which had 'nee
very brisk, fell off, and it became at last quite calm.
We had been an hour and a quarter in action, and
no ship of our divisioe had joined us,
"4 At a quarter past nine Captain Dubourdieu said.
to me, " This is a glorious day, though I have begq
somewhat too rash : courage, however, our divisionv
will yet support us !" Scarce had he Token them
words, when a ball struck him, and severed him in,
two. About the sane time, the .frigate Flora came,
into the line, and about half-past tee the Ceuronne 1
and half an hour later the Danae also joined. From .
this plain statemept, your Highness will easily mt.
ceive how inconsiderate our manopoires were,
4' As the Captain of the frigate and the Lieutenant
were idled, the command, according to the practice
in such cases, devolved on Me ; the Midshipman.
Villeneuye, directed the menseueres, About hilt!
past ten o'clock the masts of the Favourite fell by she
bbard, and Mr. Villeetuve intimated to me, :that ha i
could no longer steer the vessel. We were otandieg
at the same time before the wind, close by the isletf
of Lissa. I gave prders to make for the land, toole•,
possession of several vessels, on board of which I put
my sailors, and the frigate was alloyed to escape;
without interraptipe-
4' the Couronne having lost all her masts, •wale
after a most obstinate resistance, obliged to strike
ahoet half past four.g'clock, The Ditnae, the Floras
and a corvette, ran during the night into Lessina, Thp,
English, in the utmost distress, took refuge in fbe
island of St. George, after they had s 4 4re to .the
Couronne, and one pf their own frigates. The cut.
down vessel, after tieing wholly dismasted, run ageinsi:
the rocks of the island, and ip all probability /ISSI 4
have been dashed in pieces,
o The result of this action is on our part the lose
of two frigates, The loss on the part of the English
is one frigate and a cut-down ship of the line. It 4 •
certain, that if Captain Duhgerdiee had wishful tq.
wait longer, and concentrate his division, this day
would have beep very glorious for the Italian Noy.
The extraordinary zeal and abilities of this Officer
would haye atchieved a two-fold victory. At all
events, the Italian marine; have covered themieleel
with glory, and acquired a fame that will be tregie
mittea pa posterity, by engaging and baffling the •
English with an equal, if not inferior force, in Toe of
the skill and manceuvres of their OA-inlanders. Thl;
merit will neither be overlooked nor unrewarded by
his Majesty. I-laving once engaged us, they hind .
no difference betwerg the French and Italians. Th/e •
Italian marine has merited the same praise and it mese
be to England a source of much anxiety and dißp•
pointment, that the sailors of the Adria* are not ill,
ferior to the French seamee.
." The division will set sail toonorrow from !leo,
sine, for Ragusa, in order tg refit.
s' It is the opinion of all seafaring people, that ir •
Captain Dubourdieu had kept his Menton togpsthee,
we should have got possession of two of the enceny'e
ships, though the enemy ha two cut down ships
li
of the line (vaiueaux ram.) owevee, without rec-
koning the two corvettes *hie we had more than the
enemy, aad the advantage resulting from their having
these two reduced ships of the line, our frig;tes h;
each the advantage of 80 men, which enabled ehem
to fire from both, rides. The reshUes4 awl 01111PR7
sity of CaptAiubotirdieu, however, lost every thing.
" Your Highness will, wit cut doubt, receiye the
highest pleasure from the good conduct efthemeteen •
on this day, though a positive victory wa; ;sot Obi
tamed—and their conduct is the more lobe wondered
at, as this is the first action in which the Italian ties. .
rine has been eeeaged, and which must gain them the
favour and apprebation of his Majesty, • - •
" I have no doubt that the French tjaital officer,
will *represent to the Minister of Marine the diedne
guished courage the Italian seamen displayed on chip
occasion.
" Great as the error is which Captain Duheerdie4
committed, his loss is much to be regretted. Never
was officer more brave or seaman more skilful. But
.the sight of the enemy hurried him into an irepredene
temerity.
:- 44 The loss of the English is immense—half t*t•
officers and a great part part of their crew ere kilted.

of the coast of Dalmatia ought tg be made. ltnoWe eo

KING'S BENCH, MAY IS.

Barford, and J. Euston, the first a
officer, and the two latter his assistants,
for judgment.
tted to the stoppage of J. Pym, ser-
i Blanc, of the Wellesley East India.
passing over Blackheath in a post-
defendants stopped him, and, after
Ste, on account of its containing a few
consented to give it up, on receiving
Jr guineas. The whole has been al-
.p detailed.
Mr. GURNEY submitted to the Court, that they
were not guilty of any crime under the statute upon
which they had been indicted. They had not been
indicted for a conspiracy to defraud Pym, and they
had no authority to make the seizure ; therefore had
been guilty of no crime in suffering Pym to proceed
after having seized the chaise. Phillips, only of the
three, was an officer, and by his appointment he was
only authorized to act in sea posts, or on board ships,
without a writ of assistance ; that writ he had not
on the present occasion, and therefore had no power
to stop the chaise.
The Court observed, that the Custom-house officer
was appointed to act in sea ports, or any other place
whatever under which the appointment was made ;
the officer did not derive his authority from the writ
of assistance, but he had the power to require one, if
he thought he should have occasion fer it.
ATTORNEY GENERAL— My Lord, if they are net
Custom-house officers, they are highwaymen.
Lord ELLENBOROCGII—I think the Custom-house
officers are lucky in not having been proceeded against
in a more penal way : it your argument, Mr. Gur-
ney, had succeeded, they mast have been committed
to Newgate.
ATTORNEY GENERAL—My Lord, I shall only say,
the defendants are all guilty highwaymen, rescued
from the gallows by the circumstance of being Cus-
tam-house officers.
Mr. Guawav stated to the Court that Barford had
already been in prison nine months, the other two not
at all.
The Court then sentenced Phillips and Euston to
*two years each, and Barford to 14 months, imprison-
oda in Maidstone gaol.
THE KING V. WALTER WILLIAMS, ESQ.
. Mr. Dauncev•Prayed the judgment of the Court
apinst this defendant, who had been found guilty of
challenging Richard Isaac Starke, Esq. to fight a
duel, and of libelling him in the Carmarthen Journal.
The parties were both Magistrates of the county, and
officers in the 4th battalion of Carmarthen Volunteers;
and, it appearing from affidavits, that the defendant
had acknowledged himself in the wrong, and offered
any apology but a public one, that the prosecutor had
counter-libelled the defendant in the same journal, and
that the prosecution would not have gone to trial if
the defendant had thought proper to pay the prosecu-
tor's attorney seso for *costs, the Court said that
this came to a mere question of money, and acceded
to the wishes of the parties, that the costs should be
brought into hotchpot ; and, as the parties had been
since upon good terms, no breach of the peace was
endangered ; no further apology should be required,
and the defendant was discharged.
LIVERPOOL THEATRE.
Two young men, of the names of Myers and
Green, were brought up to receive judgment for Wag
aiding and assisting ►n the'H. P. riot in the Liverpool
Theatre ; but the prosecutors not pressing the case,
and many circumstances appearing, which entitled
the parries to consideration, they were severally dis-
charged upon recognizance to appear, if called upon.
SWINDLING.
A man of the name of Johnstone was sentenced to
two months imprisonment in the gaol of Lancaster,
for obtaining five guineas, from a person of the name
of Gundry, for pretending to procure his son's release
from one of his Majesty's ships of was'.
THE KING v. THOMAS WEBB.
The defendant in this case was brought up for
judgment, having been convicted at the last Assizes
VW Berkshire, upon an indictment, charging him of
having forged a stamp and the name of an Excise
Officer (since dead) upon several paper wrappers,
with intent to defraud the revenue. Several affida-
vits to character made by the Mayor of Reading,
the Rector of Abberville and other respectable per-
sons were read, and the defendant was remanded for

RICHARD CUMIERLAND, ESQ.—The following OTR-
ion was delivered by the Dean of Westminster, at
the close of the Funeral ceremony at the interment :

" GOOD PEOPLE—The person you see now depo-
shed is Richard Cumberland, an Author of no small
merit ; his writings were chiefly for the stage, but of
strict moral tendency ; they were not without faults,
but they were not gross, abounding with oaths and
libidinous expressions, as I am shocked to observe is
the caseof many of the present day. He wrote as much
as any ; few wrote better; and his works will be held
in the highest estim Irian as long as the English lan-
guage will be understood. He considered the Thea-
tre a school for moral improvements, and his remains
are truly worthy of mingling with the illustrious dead
which surround us. Read his prose subjects on di-
vinity ! there you will find the true Christian spirit of '
the man who trusted in our Loan and Samara '
Jesus CHRIST ; may GOD forgive him his sins, and at
the resurrection of the just, receive him into ever-
lasting glory !"
This Address, unusual indeed in the established
Church, had a visible effect on the relations of the de-
ceased, and a numerous assemblage of spectators.
COMISERLA".a/ was the last survivor of the old school
of dramatic writers, and the oldest in the present
reign. He might have kept his Jubilee, as it is ex-
actly 50 years since he produced his tragedy of
?he Banishment of Cicero. This was followed by
three other pieces of unequal, and now forgotten
merit, but in 1771 he fully established his lame by
The Weft-Indian, which is still a stock-piece. He
has left several halt-finished Dramas, which he pro-
bably intended to have brought forward at the New
Theatre, to which he was a subscriber. His last pro-
duction, which was finished but a short time before
his death, begins at follows :
World, I have known thee long; and now the hour
When I must part from thee is near at hand;
I bore thee much good-will, and many a time
In thy fair promises reposed more trust
Than wiser heads and colder hearts would risque;
Some tokens of a life, not wholly pass'd
In selfish strivings, or ignoble sloth,
Haply there shall be found when I am gone,
Which may dispose thy candour to discern
Same merit in my zeal; and let my works
Outlive the maker, who bequeaths them to thee ;
For, well I know, where our perception ends
Thy praise begins; and few them be who weave
Wreaths for the Poet's brow, till he is laid
