This was an action of trover brought by the plaintiffs,
to recover the value of the ship Speedwell, which had
been mortgaged to them by a person named Ritso►►, to
secure 1,50 W. which plaintiffs had lent to him. The
ship was then on her voyage to New 0 leans. When
she arrived th.re, she was seized and sold by some per.
sons, who claimed a debt front Ititson. The fairness of
this sale was much doubted. Si►e WAS purchased by a
person n imed Gordon, freighted by him, and returned
to England. When she arrived in the river, the defend
ants, as his agent, took possession of her, and on being
applied to by plaintiffs, who were now ow•nets of the
ship (kitten having become bankrupt), to deliver up
the ship, they refused to do so, unless all the costs and
expenses of the voyage were paid. The ship was then
in die West India Docks. She was finally cleared out
by defendants in ballast, sailed, and was lost at sea. The
present att•on was brought to recover her value.

Private letters are in town from Lagnira, of the Sd
October, stating that a nephew of BOLIVAR had arrived
at Bogota, with dispatches from the President, and at
that period all remained in stain quo in Venezuela.

Accounts from Madrid to the Sist October state,
that in an interview which Mr. LAMS had with SAL
MOH, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. LAMS demanded
to know if his CATHOLIC MAJESTY was disposed OP
make some modification in the actual system of Spain,
as he wished to have a positive answer before the
meeting of the British PArliament.

Caraccas Papers, via New York, to the 22d Sep-

Letters ft om Rio state, that Buenos Ayres was strictly

A fire took place at Laguirt, in a l'quor shop, which

HOTTER DA M, Novnassa 10.

According to ace >unts from Groningen, of the 7th of
this month, the number of deaths from the 3d to the

6th inclusive, was sixty-four, namely, thirty-eight per-
sons advanced in years, and twenty six young persons.
The mortality is, therefore, still very great, but it is
hoped that the change of weather will have a favourable
influence on the disorders.

We have the pleasure to announce that tia amber'
of sick at Leeuwarden, as well as at Dokkusq sad the,

vicinity, daily decreases ; but the accounts from Sala,'
Hevrenveen, Woudsend, &c. are still very melaneholy.l
Great exertions are made to provide the indigent with
necessaries, and it is observed in most places, that the
number of sick does not inorease, and that of the deaths
are rather decreasing.—The accounts from Hoorn are
very favourable.

Liberal subscriptions have been made, and ire still
making in all parts of the Kingdom. for the relief of the
towns where the disorder is the most destructive.

The Committee at Groningen states that 2,110 indigent families
had already applied for relief, and it has been afforded to fourteen
hundred-of them.

We have also received Frankfort Papers to the sth
instant, from which we take the following :

CONSTANTINOPE, Ocrosis IG.

On the 7th of this month the Greek Patriarch, Chry-
, santhos, against whose conduct and unbecoming way
of life many complaints had been made, was deposed,
as we hear, banished to the Isle of Cyprus. Agas Ari-
-1
gelos, formerly Bishop of Belgrade, whom the Greek
Clergy have chosen for his successor, was confirmed by
the Porte in the dignity, and invested on the Bth with
the Cation usually given by the Porte on the occasion.
' The Persian agent, Daud•Chan, paid 'a visit to the
Ministers of the Porte on the 28th ult. On the 4th inst.
an envoy arrived from the Sovereign of Bucharia, from
I *shorn lie lir ught pre,sints to the Sultan. The following
day a rich lisse was sent him, which he put on on the
6th, to pay a visit to the Turkish Ministers, accom-
panied by his suite, consisting of six Bochdrian travel-
lers of distinction, and a great number of servants. He
is going to Mecca, and wishes, before be sets out,on his
pilgrimage, to present his respects to the Sultan as Caliph.
The North winds still prevailing we have no news
from the Archipelago. We find that of the expedition of
Lord Cochrane, so impatiently expected by the Greeks,
oily the Perseverance, Captain Hastings, has yet ar-
rived at Napoli.

On information that a ship had arrived at Spezzia
with money. which it had taken from a Tuscan vessel
off Damietta, Commodore Hamilton proceeded in per-
son is that Island, with the Cambrian frigate and Rose,
!corvette. and took possession of the ship, on board
which he found nearly 80,000 piastres, in vario s kinds
of money :he also took away a vessel fifty felt long,
which had just been launched, and was desig to be
employed on a cruise.

French Pipers to 6e-IM—instant, and the Moils of
Saturday, have reached us. Their contents are neither abundant
nor important The Mae denies that French Cbands have yet
been or are ping to be sent to the South Ambient States, and
contends that she only has, and for the present means to have, in
these countries, commercial agents without any political character.
The same Paper says, that a Project of Law, connoting of thirteen
Articles, respecting the institution of Juries, has been submitted by
the Keeper of the Seals to the Council of State, by whom it was
unanimously adopted to be proposed to the Chambers. The Moni-
ker gives a letter front Mr. ETMAILD, which says that the attacks of
the Turks had been repelled, and that the Greeks had obtained
successes in the direction of Athens. and in that of Sparta. The
intelligence from i.opk comes down to the I Sth of October,
The increased espouse by the support of the new troops
had forced the Sinnu to seek new resources to meet it. With this
view, He had imposed a tax ea all shops in the Qty of Ave teo, or i
fifteen Pans, according to their sin, their situation, and the bu l-
lies. carried on in them. MI the accounts from Portugal represiat
the insurrection as effectually pot down.

Hamburgh Papen to the 9th last. arrived last night.
They contain accounts from St. Petenburglt to the 2Sth of October,
The &ninon bad been examining his lest and reviewing his
troops. Two vends, a ship of the Me and a frigate, had set sail
fee the Mediterranean, or as it is expreseed,a for the coast of Italy"
No farther intelligence bad been received &maths army in Georgia,
bat the Government intended to prosecute the war with the greatest
vigour, and orders had been sent to the several corps to advance
without stopping.
A great Protestant school was going to be built at St. Peters-
butsb, for which the Emperor bad assigned 120,000 roubles and a
loan free of interest for eight years.

We have received B--""7rasse s Papers to the 12th inst.
They state, that since the publication of the Decree to authorize
the soldiers in the army to enlist for service in the Dutch Colonies
in India, the numbers who offered themselves were greater than
required. A whole Regiment was already formed at Brussels,
which is to sail next month. Accounts from Steckhohn say, that
the price of Corn and Brandy was tending to fall since the publics-
, don of the Royal Ordinance, which suspended the dudes on foreign
Oats, Rye, and Peas; but that the Landholders who lately shared
the general apprehension of a famine, began to complain that the free
importation deny species of grain was prejudicial to their interests.
New York Papers ti;tl7lMt ult. by the Pac;fic, have
been received at the North and South American Coffee-house.
They contain no local news, and little intelligence of any interest
from South America. It would appear that the announcement of
the return of &mots to Bogota was premature, and that affairs
in Caraccu, consequently, are in u critical a state as ever.
The last accounts from La Plata by this conveyace state, that
another action had taken place between the Buenos Ayrean and
Brazilian fleets, in which a frigate belonging to the latter was com-
pletely dimmed. .The Battles Ayreans succeeded in returning
to the roads with but trilling damage.
Other advice. from the same quarter assert, a that Don Pease
Is deaf to every proposition of arrangement between liar and the
Repoblic."
A Bogota Paper contains a manifesto of the Vice.Ptesident of
Colombia, denouncing General Pau as a traitor to his country,
sad intimating that the most rigorous measures were about to be
adopted to put down the rebellion.

Important advice. hire received of a most
tremendous and sanguinay battle fought by the few DMA at
Cape Coast Castle and their Allies, with the Ashantees, on the 7th
of last August, by which that part of Africa has once more been
i
'rescued from the grasp of ruthless but intrepid Savages. Colonel
Ifitapes, who commanded the allied force, seem, to have displayed
the greatest skill in his dispositions ; and in a moment of trying
peril, the most perfect presence of mind. To these, as Well as to
the enthusiastic ganansry with which be charged with his few Eu-
ropeans, and the brave support and intelligent obedience of the
King of Anunseoo, may be attributed this signal victory, which
destroyed between 5 and 6000 of the enemy; must of the Generals
threw their camp equipage and all the treasures of their King into
the hands of the conquerors—and not least, though last, recovered
the bead of the unfortunate Sir Cumu.sa 1114Caavuv, which the
Ashantees had brought as their moat poweiful charm or Fetish.—
An idea of the desperate valour with which the battle was fought
will be fumed when it is known that the loss on our side was $OO
killed and 9000 wounded.

The KING was expected in town on kriday ; prepara-
tions are made to receive his Maarseir at &. James's Palace,wbere

DOVER, NOVEMBER 12.

This day at one o'clock, his Grace the Duke of Des
vonshire and suite arrived in th! Royal George stemn
vessel, from Boulogne. His Excellency, on the vessel's
entering the harbour, was saluted by the guns of the
garrison, ana, on his Grace's depatture, at half-past

respect was pall to his Excellency.
In his Grace's suite were Lord Harped+, the Hon. I. Townsend,

CAPTAIN CLAPPRIITOW.NO account has yet bees
received from Captain Clapperton since his arrival at
Eyo or Kallamga, oa the 4th March. The letter was
addressed to the traveller, Mr. Houston, at Accra, who
having died a short time before, it was opened by Ai:
servant. Captain Clapperton was quite well, and in-
tended to proceed' further on the following day.
There was a flagrant case disclosed towards creditors,
before the Insolvent Court at Wakefield, on Monday,
when the Insolvent was remanded for 27 months.

Thursday, at Margate, Mr. Hunt, a respectable mas-
ter tradesman, whilst superintending the taking down
of an old house, unfortunately stepped through the
mooring, and broke his neck and thigh. He was soon
taken up, but died immediately.
Th• London factors seem to be acting upon the in-
structions recently received from the coal owners of the
north, not to continue selling at the recent prices; for,
of 150 ships of Sunderland and Newcastle coals brought
to market on the 3d instant, only 45 were sold; on the
6th instant, but 24 ships were sold out of 139; on the
Bth, 36 ships out of 124; and on the 10th (the last
market-day), 16 ships out of 95. The consequence has
been an advance upon the price of Monday last of
Is. 9d. per chaldron on the best Newcastle, and of Is.
on the best Sunderland. A correspondent inquires
whether from the tenour of the resolution passed at the
late general meeting of the coal owners of the Tyne.
the assembly might not be deemed an unlawful combi-
nation to advance the price of coals ? and whether every
person concerned therein has not become liable to. in-
dictment or information in the Court of King's. ?
The Chamber of Commerce at Manchester has taken
alarm at the proposed Bill for legalizing the exportation
of machinery, and a speiial general Meeting of i.s
members was convened on Wednesday last, to consider
of the state of the laws on that subject, and also to peti-
tion Parliament for an alteration of the Cora Laws.
On the first of those questions there was not the slight-
est difference of opinion, and fifteen resolutions, com-
prising the chief arguments that have been urged against
permitting the exportation of machinery, were passed
unanimously. Upon the propriety of altering the Corn
Laws, each Gentleman had his own measure to propose,
and the opinions varied considerably; but the majority
being favourable to the imposition of a moderate pro-
tecting duty, at first to be gradually reduced, and
finally to be abandoned altogether, resolutions to that
effect were voted. A Meeting on the same subject was
held at Knaresborough, on Thursday last, pursuant so
requisition, when resolutions similar to those of almost
every other assemblage held for that purpose, were
passed, and a petition ordered to be prepared for pre-
sentation, by Mr. TIERNEY and Sir J. MACKINTNEU:"

MILANCHOLY ACCEDINTS —Saturday evening, at
seven o'clock, an Inquest was held in the Committee
Room of Middlesex Hospital, before THOS. STIRLING.
Esq. Coroner, on the body of Mrs. Mary Paton, aged
40, who came by her death under the following meran-
choly circumstances:—Mr. William Orford, of No.l 13,
High-street, Mary-la-bonne, stated, that on Wednesday
afternoon last, between three and four o'clock, he was
passing through Regent-street, and on his arrival near
the Quadrant, he saw a young Gentleman riding on
horseback towardsOaford-street. The horse took fright,
and ran with considerable speed, until it arrived nearly
opposite Conduit-street, when it ran against the de.
ceased, who was crossing the road, and knocked her
down. The animal trampled upon her, and kicked her
several times on the head and face, and made a sacood
spring and fell down with the rider, who was pitched
headturemost on the ground, and dreadfully injured.
Witness, with several other person:, proceeded to their
assistance, and carried the deceased and the Gentleman
to a doctor's shop in Conduit-street, where every assist-
ance was afforded them. The deceased's skull was
found to be fractured, her jaw broken, and other wise in-
jured. She was carried to the above Hospital in a state
of insensibility. The Gentleman was ascertained to be Mr.
Fletcher' n. ju of Great Marlborough-street, Golden-
square. His collar bone was broken, and he was other-
wise severely bruised. The Coroner asked the witness,
what caused the horse to take flight? He replied, that
an itin nt showman was exhibiting di Punch and Judy"
at the corner of Burlington-street, when the discordant
sound of the voice caused the animal to start off with
great fury. The rider dill not flog the horse—lie strove
to stop it, but could not. The House S irgeon proved
that the injuries the deceased received were the cause of
her death. Mr. Stirling remarked. that the law w.ts
'very defective if it did not sanction the apprehension of
such a set of idle fellows; for his own part he viewed
them as no better than a gang of stroliing vagabonds.
It was a most abominable nuisance. and ought. as soon
as possible, to be put a stop to. One lire had been lost
through them. He was a.tonished that the respectable
inhabatants of the above stiert should have suffered thr
thing to pass by so long with. ut utak ng application to
the police to take them into cu.tody. Verdict— eicti•
